Yes another flashing question ! - HTC EVO 3D

Ok so ive been looking around for a few months now since "the incident" for a possible work around and cant seem to find the answer i need. So ill post it here for the infinite wisdom of the users here !
"the incident" was this:
I decided to go with boost mobile for new service (yay!) I bought a kyocera hydro (79$) and activated it. worked great but then i decided to be smart and root it without a recovery for it (intelligent i know right!) I then decided to further my intelligence level by editing build.prop (remember the bit about no recovery?) Well now my phone is an excellent paper weight!
Well a few weeks pass and i decided to buy an evo3d (best purchase ive made all year btw) from amazon that claimed to be boost mobile ready. long story short it wasnt.
The question is this:
can i use my bricked hydro to flash my fancy evo3d to boost? the hydro was activated and has a clean esn with boost it just wont go past the boost splashscreen and when i connect it and try to adb devices it doesnt show as connected tho. Is there a way to get the info i need from the hydro so that i can flash the evo3d to boost or am i stuck with a useless phone and the evo3d with no service?

As long as you know the phone number and mdn (or was it meid..) from the Kyocera, you can clone the Kyocera that way both the 3D and the Kyocera have the same phone number, but i could be forgetting something

Yes u can do it. When using qpst u need to go to nam1 settings and enter directory number as ur new boost number, the there is min number
U need to call boost and ask for it. Then follow the metropcs flash guide for evo 4g.
The biggest ***** for me was changing meid.
Make sure ur using a newer version of qpst
So the open sesame door hack works when
Editing the 0 and 1943 files. Older qpst versions
Do not show those fkles in EFS directory.

Ive been able to succesfully change my mdn and min number via a dialer code ( i got the min # from a working boost phone. Believe it or not i checked several infact and they all have the same min number) :good:
The thing thats hanging me up is the guides a written using donor phones that are working so it tells you how to get the files from that phone to flash to the new devicce. But i dont have a working one but i have all the info for it that i need i guess. so the steps arent matching up. Like i dont have any nv items or w/e from the donor. Am i missing something?

I don't know! Is the hydro 4g? If not it seems like you would be better off to grab a incognito and pull the passwords, swap the ESN and save five bucks a month in the process!!!

[Q] metro PCS Eris lost web and mms

Please don't bash the noob. The story starts, I got this Eris off eBay and had it flashed to metro pcs for $65. Before i left the guys house everything worked (call, text, mms, web). I saw it work and it looked like a good job. Got to work and wanted to play and set up my new phone. The 1x at the top of the screen hurt but what the heck its $40 bill. I surfed and set up my g-mail all good. I could not set up my hot mail so i took a break. Got back to my phone playing and the 1x at the top is gone. No more web or mms. Calls, text, wifi all work. I tried clicking the Mobile network and it just says turning on, but it does not. I taped and re-taped every setting and 2 days later still the same. So if someone could help me I'm willing to learn. My only other shot is to go back to the same guy with my wallet open. Please guys don't let that happen.
Firmware version 2.1
Base band version 2.42.01.04.27
Kernel version 2.6.29
Build number Evil Eris v3.0
Software number 2.20.651.1
Browser version web kit 3.1
PRI version 2.11-002
PRL version 02001
ERI version 5

I have another ? maybe someone that already has a metropcs flash can answer this. If i go to settings/ privacy/ factory data reset - will it erase the 2.1 os Root and metropcs flash. I was woundering if that would fix my no web no mms problem or would it turn it back to stock verizon. many thanks....

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730289&highlight=metropcs
Yes and thank you I did see that post. It just went over my head a bit. I ended up calling the guy that flashed metro for me with no problems. He was real cool (no charge). He told me metroPCS changed some settings server side. So 20 min later and I'm back online. He is real tight with his info cuz this is how he pays his bills. I did ask him about the reset through settings and I'm glad I did. His answer is it would remove the internet and mms part of his work.
Please help!`
I called the people that flashed mine and they want to charge me to fix the issue. Does anyone know how to fix this issue but in layman term? Please?????
I'm sorry but i don't know. This past weekend after my internet and mms went down I was checking craigslist. I saw more than a few post saying your internet not working $20 and we fix. So i guess my guy told the truth that metropcs had changed something. Good luck to you look around and find the best deal...

My Motorola Droid NO INTERNET or MMS issue
I had my Moto Droid flashed in mid September and everything was sweet. Internet worked great, google maps, picture messaging. the key is that I had to get the flash done "underground" becuase Metro PCS stores don't flash in a way that facilitates internet and MMS. So anyway, by the 10th of Ocotber, the internet was gone. I tried all kinds of restarting and re-configuring settings...to no avail.
When I called Metro PCS customber service, they told me that since I wasn't supposed to have internet in the first place, they removed it. He said that I would have to purchase a metro pcs phone, if I wanted to have the full service again.
Then, I called the Metro store owner who had linked me with the underground setup in the first place. I asked him about this issue and he confirmed that Metro PCS had, on the 1st of October, begun eliminating internet from non-Metro phones. Apparently (my opinion), no one is buying the ridiculous low-qual phones metro has to offer and so they want to lash out and force people to buy their phones.
I say they either get better phones or they lose a lot of customers. Yes, it's only $40 but is it really worth all the hassle.
There are tons of internet repair services for $10-$40 on craigslist, but does anyone know how long the fixups last?
All of what you say maybe true. But I'm not sure. The reason I say this is 1) Metro PCS is getting ready for 4g. 2) When I log in to my account at Metro the phone listed is one they sell. 3) now this one could go either way - my guy does agree with you but says it rarely happens. I.E. he is a hacker. My thoughts not really he has had more time to play with phones no more no less... Now as far as luck goes I got you beat. :-( My internet turned off in less than 15 hrs. Now the $40 bill yes you get what you pay for, so I will take the 1x. But anyway it goes and no-matter who is right I will keep my fingers crossed.
How do you return to pre-flash status?

Eris MetroPcs
You do not need any special ROM for the Eris.
Just use the available Android 2.1 ROM that is the normal ROM update from Android/HTC. File on the web: PB00IMG
Install that file. Then use Token's Metropcs v3...not v3.5 beta! Also install u2nl and Autostart. Download from Market.
You need to set all the settings on the phone via ##778. YOU MUST HAVE A FLASHED MetroPCS Eris!! Make sure the MNC is set to 27...not 12!
For the Eris, there is no need to use QPST or CDMA Workshop like everyone says.
Password is your MSL from whiterabbit.

Unfortunately no, I see it does replace a framework, but that isn't even part of thr problem I am having. When I asked about metroflash at the authorized dealer they didn't really have a clue was I was talking about. But I'm going to the corporate store today to get the metroflash done.

Just got back from 7 metro PCS stores including a corperate one, appears they refuse to add my ESN into the system, or even add a line for this phone. They will NOT metroflash it.
And apparently "All these kids are learning to unlock their phones and they want to add them to our network"
I have the $50/m plan that is required for smart phones. I searched metro pcs esn on craigslist nothing came back. I now have NO idea how to get this phone to work...
EDIT: I just tried doing *611 on my 3vo after "flashing" it to metropcs and it takes me to sprint's customer service. does that mean I did it wrong?
Just go to a dealer store. Most corporate stores stores dont wanna do smartphones(some will). But if you go to a dealer store they will houdini your phone. Which is where they write an esn from a phone in their inventory to your phone to get it into the network.When they flash it it will do the prl part for you. And if you already have the data provisioned everything will work from the time they flash it.
Reflasing on Sprint Data not working
Sorry not to hijack the thread but I think someone here might have the expertise to help me with the issue. I have a evo 3d that was flashed to Metro. I wanted to flash it back to Sprint, I cleaned the esn. Voice and txt works but data does not. I keep getting error code 67. upon more research i found out that i needed to copy NAI and AAA and HA secrets. Which I made sure were correct. However, I still keep getting error 67. Can anyone help me on how to get 3g data working? thanks in advance.
So are you trying to set up for metro or sprint?

after fixing the clean esn and meid, my voice and sms worked fine...
data not working not even 1x. copied over the profile 0 and profile 1, including AAA and HA secrets but still does not work. When i tried hands free activation, i keep getting error 67 and profiles are wiped out.
Yea that error is because your not connecting to data. I know sprint you can zero out the ha and AAA. Where you used to have your metro msl code that needs to be replaced with your meid hex. Your gonna also need to make sure your sid/nid are those for Sprint. I do now know those off hand. One thing you can try to get those settings back is flashing a new radio it will contain the nv items you need for those spots.

That's what I thought I did, The in Evo 3d, using QXDM, i set addresses 465, 466, 1192, 1194. one of the user id was my [email protected] and another one was [email protected]
AAA was 'secret' and HA secret, i copied over from the old working phone.
Just to try I also did, ##SPC# (SPC= my spc code) and reset my data, after it rebooted the phone it tried doing hands free activation but it would error out again...
i feel like i am so close yet little further from working outcome..
Yea I'm not familiar enough with sprint settings try asking some of the people in the boost flashing threads they will know all the sprint settings. You have a sprint prl right? Not one of the hybrid ones to roam with vzw

That will make all the difference when it cones to calling customer service if you have a metro prl it will call metro Ect. Ect. But sounds like you got that.

Only 1 metro store within 20 miles will flash my phone.
And they charge $63! I could just buy houdini master key for 50!
They also said that they have never successfully flashed a EVO 4G...
Can some1 sorta explainthe process of flashing to metro i had my Evo flashed by a guy that im sure knows what he is doing and everything went smooth. Now my sis and bro both got themselves Evos but this dude keeps on givin the run around and switching up the prices one phone was already being used w. Metro when bought but he insists that it needs to be "reflashed" (since its been on metro b4 wouldnt he just have to activate it to the existing acct?) the other has never been flashed. what im mostly wondering is, besides adding the esn into metro network is there anything else that MUST be done by a metro dealer? Is this thread for actual flashing or for provisioning like bloody's guide?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You won't find any guides that truly show how to flash. Technically all the guides here do show you how to flash them. But metro is using a differnt method to flash now. So its not as simple as giving them your esn to have it added. They write an esn from a metro branded phone to yours. As far as the one that was flashed already all you need to do is call metro from it. Then provision the data from bloody or jds guide in order to get web and mms.

i nevered seen this little guide right here... haha....
what happens is this,
msid 9412333323 or 9412340237 or 7272271341
u can use this number i think, any metro msid number near u. i had these saved, from my new evo, and old touchpro,
u have to use a metro number for it to connect or something...
I did both of the following steps..
I did bloodys provision and at the same time i looked for the msid num.
in qpst u need to go through all the pages, i think i found the old number in 2 or 3 spots... if its a number change..
in DFS...
MIN A = USE ur 10 digit phone number,
MIN D = USE the msid number,
add any metropcs prl and u should connect to metro before any flash, change ur number or whatever...
i manually flash my 2 evos, but the 1st metroflash to add the esn, the internet and mms worked out the door,
The second in ebay 45 to add the esn, then I dialed *228 and it worked..worked on the first shot,,, after it was added.. it was activated with my acct.. yeah..
edit: 12-23
##3282# under ADVANCED u will see MSID

You might want to say that you only need CDMAWS if you want to change your MSL, although since it is so easy to get the MSL with MSL Reader, you can probably skip that part. Great writeup though. Ive done a Moment and Vitality to PagePlus and the guide is the same, so this is an almost universal Guide.
On a side note: For the Moment and Vitality, MSL Reader does not work, I had to get the MSL by using getprop ril.MSL in Terminal.

Well I mentioned MSL Reader because its easier to use for new comers and it only works on the HTC phones which is what I'm flashing in this guide. If you use CMDAWS you just go to the security tab and under SPC click the drop down box and pick HTC Method. Then click read. Phone must be in DIAG mode though.
Any how I'll be making more guides. I can flash damn near any phone to any company except the Stratosphere.
Dial ##000000# and click edit mode.

Click on MSID/MIN and enter it if you know it, If not call your provider and ask them for it.

In the very first tab with all the phone info. Should be right on top. It is probably labeled mdn and min. If that's what there labeled mdn will be your phone number and min will be msid or mobile identification number (sorry been a while since I used cdma workshop). Qpst doesn't have the option to change phone number itself. It will only allow you to change it for your data profiles. ##000000# or your six digit msl code will accomplish this step for you also.

Ok cool. another thingm I get an error during the last part where I write to the phone in QPST.
The error says NV_UE_IMEI_I (Status) NV_READONLY_S
Disregard that error it doesn't mean anything. You can actually check that box to not notify u of that again if it bothers you.
Let me know how this goes for you and do a speedtest for me if you can. My metro bill is due in a few days if speeds are good I will be making the switch.

The 3G speeds are very good. Remember this one thing PP uses VZW towers. Actually when I flash the Thunderbolts they get 1x and the 1x is pretty damned fast.
Have you flashed any EVO3Ds to Verizon? Assuming the ESN is accepted by Verizon's network of course.
-C
I've heard that Verizon phones get way better speeds on pp than sprint phones. I'm sure its probably just due to lack of provisioning on the parts of places that flash them. I definatly am intersted in tinkering with this. If someone with a EVO 3d on page plus or any sprint phone could do a speed test that would be great. Being on verizon network it should be at least 1mbps and up depending on area. Only reason I ask is cause u can get around 1mbps on boost witout any limit on data. But I don't use much mobile data but When I do I wouldn't mind it being fast. I could probably get away with the 1gb cap.
Just really wanna know the speeds.

Just really wanna know the speeds.

Thats not entirely true. Almost all Sprint phone get 3G while most VZW phones only get 1x.

Have you flashed any EVO3Ds to Verizon? Assuming the ESN is accepted by Verizon's network of course.

Any phone can be flashed to PP and yes I have flashed the 3D numerous times to PP. I just got done doing one. When activating phones on PP always use the ESN(HEX) not the DEC because its too many characters. All Sprint phones that I have flashed always have a 14 character ESN(HEX) which is what you need for PP. If your ESN has 15 characters then drop off the last one digit. It will still activate without the last digit. Speaking of which the Thunderbolt is one that I know of that you have to drop the last digit on. Only one I can remember lol.
Hey! I saw this method and noticed it didn't involve device cloning and that it was for 3 phones.
I had to write about it.

[Q]Boost Mobile AAA Auth.

Please, no snide remarks.
I wanted to be absolutely sure.
While messing around with my phone, I happened to erase
my Data Profile. Unfortunately, I bought the phone pre-flashed
on eBay.
I've looked in QPST and QDXM for the HA and AAA passwords on
the Evo 3D itself and it comes up as all 0x00's besides the Sprint
HA password.
So to be absolutely sure, there's no way to retrieve the AAA
password? Even if I called up Boost Mobile? Do they even have
access to my AAA password?
I'm stuck in 1x. Well, it said I'd connected to the Evdo A once before
but the AAA wouldn't auth. Sigh. I'm so sick of this 1x hell
Should I call Boost Mobile?
Or get another Incognito and flash it myself?
from what i gather u may need to get another incognito or rant as donor phone or you could see whoever flashed it originally can extract the info off again after it handsfree activates granted they didnt destroy/throw it away already
Good Luck
Were did you erase the data profile from ???
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
'##3828#' or '##data#'
Edit Mode.
Enter MSL.
Go to Data Profile.
Press the Menu button.
It has 'Commit Modifications' and 'Restore.'
I hit restore, thinking it would have the same
effects as '##rtn#' or '##786#' would but it
didn't.
My whole Data Profile got erased. Doing a '##rtn#'
fixed most of my problems. But I've been messing around
in QPST and even after restoring my original settings, it
all funky when it comes to data. It used to stay in 1x
(which is fine now that I don't have reliable data at all anymore)
Sometimes it comes on(with only 1x speeds)
But a lot of the time, it doesn't even work at all. I think this is
because it's trying to connect to authenticate so it'll shut my
Data off for a second or two, trying to connect to Evdo.
Sigh.
This is all a bit bothersome.
If I can't fix the 3G, can I at least fix how it's trying to change
from 1x to Evdo A every 30 seconds? Like... Force 1x or something.
Oh and on a side note! By messing around in
QPST so much, trying to get my 3G fixed, a Boost Mobile
guy answered when I tried calling someone. He said
I was trying to call on a flashed phone. I told him it was
the Samsung Incognito, snicker snicker.
He said to fix the problem, I'd have to get a new phone
from the nearest Boost Mobile store. But the weird thing
is, everything continued to work after the call ended.
I tried calling my friend again with the same number, it
went through. Texting has been going through. etc.
How odd, rite?
Lmao man extremely odd. So if I'm understanding you everything works now but your still stuck on 1x right ???
Also were you getting 3g speeds before this ??? Also can you contact the guy who flashed the phone to ask what kind of phone he used to do the flash ??

I know with the EVO 4g you can program data over the air with update profile if the spc matches what boost has on file. I'd try switching your esn on my account on boost mobile and than switch it back. It should tell you what the spc should be. Than use a program such as cdma workshop to write the correct spc. Than rtn reset, go to settings and update profile. Like I said, works on the EVO 4g. Let me know if it works on the 3d.

@laie1472, The guy I bought it from bought it from ANOTHER guy who flashed it. Dx It DID have 3G before, though. I feel so dumb for that ****. I mean, I wrote ALL of the values down except for the '******'d ones. wtf? lol.
@troublein420, If it's not too much hassle, may I have more detailed instructions? Your idea sounds pretty good. What's an SPC, exactly?
Btw, while doing a Profile Update or after (can't remember right now. kinda dazed) I always get an Error Code 67.
Thanks, everyone!
I'm almost 100% positive that you'd need to extract that info off the donor phone. Don't think you can get that phone provisioned OTA, but if you can that would get your 3G back, but again, I'm not 100% certain on how the phone provisions, I've read some things about profile 0 etc, but I'm not sure. If you do ##MSL#, replace MSL with your MSL code, then it will ask you to input your phone number and MDN then reboot then it will try to provision. You could try that. But you may need to change your phone # reboot, then change it back otherwise the setting won't take effect. If that doesn't work I don't know.
I did a little further research and asked a few good friends of mine and after a long discussion we all came to the conclusion that unfortunately man in our opinion you will need to get the donor phone back to extract the info you need. Like the nv items,nam files,aaa password,etc. We could not think of a way to retrieve data profile. However "I'm sure you already know this" you could just get another incognitio off line for cheap and reflash it. Whish I could have helped you out more man I've never been in your situation but I know it blows big time.

Thanks everyone for your help
Spc is the same as msl. It's the programming code. If you go on ur account on boost mobile and change ur esn and than change it back, it should give you the programming code along with the phone number and msid.

What I Do Know
There are 2 AAA & HA secret keys, one that the phone manufacturer (IE: Samsung) programs into the phone, and a second one that the cell phone provider (IE: Sprint) programs on the phone. When the phone is new the manufacturer programs the AAA & HA "Default" secret codes on the phone. When the is put into service for the 1st time the providers database looks at the default values to make sure that they match what is in their database as well as the MEID # (possibly another value as well). If the default keys match whats in the data base & whats in the phone, then the "network" using an algorithm changes the AAA & HA shared keys and programs them to the phone. After the very 1st initialization of the phone, the database will now only "authenticate" the new AAA & HA shared keys. In order to make each AAA & HA values unique to each phone, there has to be at least one algorithm (I don't know if the manufacturer uses a fixed number for all of their phones or an algorithm based on the phones MEID; I assume they use an algorithm as well) that the provider uses to calculate them based on the phones MEID. Essentially if someone could find out 1.) the manufacturers AAA & HA algorithm (or fixed numbers) and 2.) the providers algorithm then AAA & HA keys could be calculated based on a telephone's MEID.

HTC EVO 3D With Page Plus . Slow download upload speeds reguardless of signal.

I tried to post this question on what looks to be the official HTC evo 3d to page plus walk thru , but it said I did not have enough posts to reply so maby someone can move it over.
just to be clear it was http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575749 that was what i followed.
Basically I went thru all the steps I found off this sites pageplus tutorial and used the basic pageplus.prl file and I can call / text / and use internet, but no matter if I have 1 or 4 bars I seem to be in a 15kb/sec download cap. I have read on other posts on here to do a ##3282# but when I type that in it does nothing. (some replays I have read indicate that it would be most likely that the proxy is already set to 0.0.0.0 and not to worry about that.
I don't live in a area where they have 3g and of course I'm not trying to get 4g, I just want decent evdo 1x speeds.
*Maby the better bet might to be get a verizon smart phone? but if at all possible I would like to get at least double the speed on this HTC for now.
I just do not know what would be the best alternative to try to swap out to get better speeds.
Below are my specs on my phone and I have a feeling that just a different prl file might be the answer, but I want to ask before I go possibly breaking something.
I used the pageplus.prl file that was off this website in a pageplus zip folder which had 2. (pageplus.prl and pageplus2.prl)
I did not try the pageplus2.prl because I do not want to go doing things without a good reason.
P.S. the reason I'm very cauccious about trying anything new is because when I did a *228 Verizon wrote over my prl files and when phone rebooted it said no service. So I do not want to do anything that would require me to do a *228 in the future.
My phone specs are.

I did do some leg work. I found a newer prl file named 00002.prl. I updated it to that and when phone turned back on it said 3g , so maby I do have 3g in my area, bad news is - no internet. So does anyone have a good link on how to alter settings to try to get internet working? I think this may be the key to getting faster internet!

OR is there something that i can modify to change the 1x speeds to be faster.
Ive read that on non verizon phones there some "keys" or strings that make verizon phones faster speeds than sprint?
any suggestions at all?
Nevermind. Its working now.
Is there something you did to get it working? I had no answers or I would have helped, but for future users, what you did would be helpful.
Read, Search, Read again, ... Then Ask with Tapatalk 2
I took it to friend and he's got the full version of cdma workshop on his laptop he bought it and took a course, and what it was , was there was no profile 2 for prl or it wasnt set correct. at all so he had to manually add that in he said. But Im still very unsure of the whole process, but I was hoping to do it myself but at least I knew someone local.
End result..?

So what speeds are you getting now? I used Cyberflash to save time.
