Hey guys,
I'm looking for a safe way to RUU and re root my phone. I messed with some settings in the *#*#4636#*#* menu (the bands setting) and I was told the only way to make the settings not lock me to the bands I check would be to RUU or factory reset.
My goal is to be rooted at the end of the day!
Any help is much appreciated
I may be wrong, but I think if you reflash a rom those settings will be reset. I don't think you need to run the ruu.
Hmmm, I'll do some poking around after work this evening and share what I read on the forums. I think these settings are stored on a part of the device that doesn't get wiped when flashing to a new ROM. Much like (if not exactly the same) as where the PRL and Profile information is stored.
You should be able to reset that setting by doing a wipe from the ##786# menu, assuming you're on a sense rom. (Ran into the exact some problem myself)
Just type that code into your dialer, hit the Menu? button at the top right, tap reset and enter your MSL and you're good to go. The phone will reset itself and reactivate with Sprint.

What exactly does this code do? Will this factory reset my phone? I don't want to do that because it might make me lose root, right?
If you're running a rooted ROM, it shouldn't make you lose root. I ran it many times on the Stock w/Goodies ROM with no ill effects. It reboots and runs a script that erases data/cache (basically a factory reset) as well as resetting all the Sprint stuffs, including that band thing you were talking about.
It doesn't touch system, so the rom itself and root aren't affected.

Okay, I'll try this when I get home. I pulled up the code and it says something about erasing ALL data but I'll try it anyways! Haha, can't blame me for for being worrisome for my baby

Thank you! You were right! I did this while at work and i instantly noticed my bars jumped from 2 to full bars because it was able to switch the bands by itself. Thanks for the tip! Glad I didn't have to RUU haha

Are you unable to make or receive calls? What ROM were you running before flashing GSB? Did you do a full data wipe before flashing GSB?

FYI if this helps, or even if it doesn't, you can see the MEID number underneath the battery. I find that you usually have to use the HEX version on Verizon's website. I don't know if this will help you, however, because flashing ROMs does not affect activation status.
Is this the number you're looking for?

i was running the factory default phone, i wiped everything and flashed the rom i linked on it, i can receive calls, voicmails, texts, mms, the internet is fine, but its not connecting to the towers near me, its picking up off different towers and the person at verizon said i need to change the SID number to 30730 which i know what one to change and i know where it is, i just cant access that part of the phone to change it because i dont know what program number to use.
flash the official RUU and start fresh possibly can fix the problem and re-root then flash new rom

To my knowledge, the ROMs do not alter any activation state of the phone* - that stuff is held in a hidden partition (the "mfg" partition, I suspect) in the flash memory chip that are never touched by any of the usual ROM flashing operations. That's why you can change ROMs and maintain the same activation and PRL data from ROM to ROM. So, I don't know why your phone's tower association would have changed if was working correctly before flashing a developer ROM.
*The only exception to this is if you perform a factory reset with the stock recovery on the phone - that does clear the activation state of the phone. The "factory reset/wipe data" menu entry of the custom recovery doesn't touch activation data or PRLs, though.
If that's what happened, then you might have to temporarily revert to a stock ROM - just don't use the factory reset procedure on the stock ROM before you re-root the phone. (BTW, you could certainly use the March 2011 OTA stock ROM - installing it won't overwrite your custom recovery, so you can simply do a nandroid backup/restore to get back to your current setup - no need to "re-root" if you do that.)
There's probably something I don't understand about the situation you are describing, unless it has something to do with towers that were acquired from a different carrier (Alltel?) by Verizon - under normal circumstances, your phone would prefer to connect to the best signal within it's home network, assuming that there are not other problems that prevent that from happening (such as call congestion through a certain tower). Perhaps the towers you want to connect to are actually considered to be "roaming" by the PRL you have on your phone, and that's why the more distant VZW towers are chosen?

i will try this but before i do i'll try to explain a bit more, when i call the normal eris programming number, it tries to actually make a call instead of giving me the option to go into edit mode, now when im on the stock rom i can do it but as soon as i flash any other rom on it, it doesnt allow me to do so. i had a rom from a droid 2 on it and when i used the droid 2 programming number it worked just fine and i could edit the info. hope this helps clarify a bit, and thanks for the help

^This sentence confuses the crap out of me. I read it 5 or 6 times, and have no idea what sequence of operations you performed. I only have a vague idea that you can't get something to work.
If you can't access the EPST menu, how can you see what the settings are?
Here is what everybody has said so far (basically the same thing, but in different ways) :
- The EPST menus are generally not available in custom ROMs, especially any of the AOSP (Froyo/Gingerbread) ROMs. You need a stock, or near-stock ROM to be guaranteed that they will be available
- The same thing is true of "secret dial code menus". They don't exist in custom ROMs, unless those custom ROMs are nearly identical to stock ROMs (that is, directly derived from a stock ROM).
If you want to try it, you can flash either a RUU or PB00IMG.zip file - these operations flash a "nvram" file (*.nb0), which conceivably resets PRL and other non-ROM settings. After doing that, and fooling with EPST using a stock ROM, you will need to re-root.
As I mentioned, you should not run a "factory reset" procedure on your phone after you have configured what you want (with EPST) when there is a STOCK recovery on the phone.
Beyond that, I'm sort of mystified why you are unsatisfied with a phone that appears to be working normally. (What application are you using to determine cell phone tower? Are you inferring that from location services (Google Maps) with GPS and WiFi location services turned off?)

After a few tries, I finally was able to downgrade my ICS Mini Pro to GB .58 root then to .62.
Things seem to be right, but a few odd things have happened.
1: Data connectivity seems to stop for no good reason. For example, I enabled GPS and data decided to stop working. Had to do a reset to get it back.
2: Lost data on my SD card unexpectedly, not sure when this happened, but it did.
Has anyone else experienced odd behavior after an install? Is there a way to determine the stability or state of a ROM install?
Mike
To perform tests about the functionality of software and hardaware features of your phone, you need to open up your dial pad, and dial:
*#*#7378423#*#*
This opens the service menu where you can perform certain tests.
About the problems you faced, I think you should perform a Factory Reset, to get things working perfectly as they should.
Thanks,
Rick

You can try and find out. .
There is no reason why your phone will become locked again. Since you say you downgraded you must have flashed a firmware which in all probability doesn't have the cdf number same as the one provided by your operator prior to unlock. So now your phone has the firmware of some other region. Now if you factory reset, you will find your phone in a factory state of the region whose firmware you flashed.
Thanks,

I'm running into some issues at the moment- I had originally tried this on one of the cleanroms, but have since moved to SlimRom, everything else in the Rom works fine, but the data is now VERY spotty. When I look in the data settings it shows the "CDMA+LTE/EVDO Auto", but it functions as though it is LTE, CDMA- that is the data modes I see are either 4G or 1x, I NEVER see 3G anymore regardless of location. However, if I try and change the data settings to anything else (CDMA (Auto PRL) for instance) it just immediately resets the value/entry to "CDMA+LTE/EVDO Auto" regardless of the entry I select.
Any help/advise would be appreciated- is there a radio etc I can/should reflash? I'm root + S-ON, I have not gone S-OFF yet.
Thanks!
Make a nandroid of your setup, run the ruu your on and clear storage in bootloader
Ok- I'm still having the same issues- this is what I've done-
1. Took full TI Backup
2. Relocked bootloader
3. Loaded 3.14.605.10 RUU from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703539 (added to SDCard, loaded via Recovery, with reboots to get all parts)
4. Unlocked via HTCDev
5. Loaded TWRP 2.2.0 via fastboot from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613576
6. Ran Factory Reset, and cleared cache in TWRP
7. Flashed Slim 1.7 from TWRP from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704212
8. Mounted SD card to USB via TWRP and copied over PH98IMG.ZIP from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704212
9. Rebooted to bootloader and loaded PH98IMG.ZIP
10. Rebooted into ROM
11. Attempted manual -> Dial "*#*#4636#*#*" but it does not bring anything up at all
12. Loaded LTE SwitchIT utility from market which brings up radio selection screen
13. From Radio selection screen attempted to change to CDMA (Auto PRL) but will not actually change
Please advise
So, another observation- it appears there is just no 3G at all. I can get it to stick in CDMA Auto mode, but only goes to 1x. From some googling it looks like the tooltip had similar issues at times that could be resolved via he ##778# screen. However, that does not appear to work/exist for the rom I'm on.
Can someone please tell me how to get to the epst menus for this release, or the best method for going back to stock? (hoping I can get o hose menus from here) thank you

Yes what he says. Run the RUU and the next thing you do is go into bootloader and select factory reset (or whatever it says there). Many people have repaired corrupted radio partitions by doing this.
Before flashing your favorite recovery/rom perhaps it is wise to use the ruu and see if your data is ok. If satisfied that it is, then flash away!!!!

Relocked the bootloader again and ran the 3.14.605.10 RUU same results. Was able to go into the ##778 menu and adjust the Rev.A settings, but that had no positive change. Reverted it, and still having the same issues. I can get either 4G or 1x, but no 3G whatsoever, and if I try and select "CDMA auto (PRL)" it just immediately switches to "CDMA + LTE/EvDo Auto" Additionally, if I try and turn off LTE via the Mobile Network Settings from LTE/CDMA to CDMA Only it won't hold the settings. I can get it to stay in "CDMA Only" via the Phone Info settings, but it will only go to 1x.
What else can I try? Could something possibly be going on with the SIM? What else can I check?

Did you perform the factory reset as I suggested after you flashed the RUU and before you did anything else? Don't know if that is the prob. though. The only other thing I can think of is to make sure your back cover is on tight and that all the antenna contact are out so they make contact when the cover is put on.

Did not do the factory reset, but will try that next. Back cover is on well, and I have a good strong 4G signal, just like I can get a decent 1X signal, I just can't get it to switch to 3G

Was your phone rooted and / or modified before the update? Is it an official Virgin phone or flashed from another service? Please share the build version of the software update. But basically your 3 options are to factory reset, reload original system (after reset), or installing a custom recovery and custom rom.

I hadn't done any rooting to the device. Also I did a reset like 5 times already. Didn't help. (By that I mean I went into the setting and hit the reset button and it wiped everything.) That didn't work at all. Also this is an official ZTE Supreme I bought from their website about 6 months ago.
Where do I go to get the build version? I see baseband version which is N9810B01. Is that what you wanted?
I am getting really pissed thinking that my phone might be ****ed because of an update :/
Just thought of a possible issue with the data... See if you can update the profile and prl in the Settings. Most likely will be near the bottom above About Devices, or in About Devices. If that doesn't work, dialing this: ##rtn# is supposed to wipe user data and activation data so upon reboot should attempt to reconnect to Virgin services. As far as the camera, well, try clearing the caches of the camera and gallery in the Settings / Application Manager / All. As far as the slowness, I can't think of anything besides reloading the OS or a custom one. If the issue is in the /system then factory data resets don't touch that part.

You can try this app to get your MSL (also referred to as SPC depending on the situation) http://www.4shared.com/android/M8qqY_ge/MEID_Converter_052.html
But I provided links to both, the files you need, and the guide for how to install them. Did you not even bother to click on them?

It'd be best if you read through the thread and then asked questions afterwards if there is something that isn't spelled out somewhere throughout the thread. They aren't THAT long and you could learn a lot. This stuff is not rocket science, but it does need patience and reading comprehension. The threads there are populated by n00bs and advanced users as well, so there's a good chance someone has had the same questions as you do. The people on those threads will also probably be more likely to help as it's not a very popular phone and not much support for. xda doesn't even have a specific forum for it. But, as you start, you'll need a working Windows (XP/Vista/7/8/8.1) computer or Linux, if you're more comfortable with that for some reason. A good data sync cord. The correct drivers. You probably only need the system.img, but won't hurt to do the others to get a complete full restore.

You will get a better response and answer in the Q&A, HELP & TROUBLESHOOTING section.
I would suggest reverting back to stock to activate your phone with Ringplus and then flashing to the newest Rom/kernel.
I think I have seen your post in a few Android N roms so be sure to flash the correct GApps(Arm and 7.1.1) and the ZVC Modem just to be sure.
all stock Sprint/Boost roms should give you the settings back....those settings seem to be added either by LG or Sprint...so it would be neigh impossible to add them to AOSP/CM roms
I am in the same boat. But your case might be different. You can try:
Carrier Reset:

If that doesn't work, do Factory reset from Recovery. If you use TWRP, default is wipe = factory reset. After that reboot and wait 5-10min for update. I think it will kick off only if your phone idle during that time. This seems to work if I flashed 7.1 ROM
Hope it helps.
