[Q] help activating rooted htc evo lte on sprint - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Recently purchased a rooted HTC evo lte phone with cm 10.2.0 jewel on it. The problem I'm having is the ##25327# commands don't function for activating the phone. I tried switching to a lightly modified stock layout Rom and when u type the key in it dissapears so it apears I'm getting closer in choosing a Rom I can activate the phone with. I noticed this am on the forum there are stock roms and was wondering if one of these will allow me to activate the phone by still having the ## factory sprint functions built in. Or is there another way I can activate this phone? I'm going on 2 weeks now minus a phone after breaking my note 2. Any help will b a huge help. Thanks

Go on Sprint.com and start a chat with a rep. Get the MEID # from inside the rear cover, where the SD slot is located. They will get you activated. Best to be on a stock ROM so your profile and PRL can update.

Yea they were able to do that and tie the device to my account but the last step is reboot the phone and when it boots backup enter the ##25327# they give me which the numbers don't populate any menu for updating the plr. What I have seen is this is wiped out with modified roms. I was wondering since the phone didn't come with the stock Rom would one of the stock roms on here do the trick to get it activated and if so which one?

Try ##72786#

Phone stuck in roam

Last night I was playing around with Viper Rom. There was a phone info menu with a bunch or settings that had to do with the network settings. The menu to get to this from other ROMs is *#*#INFO#*#*
I changed a setting for preferred network or something and the radio band setting. Now I can't seem to default it. I did a hard reset and even RUU back to stock. Nothing seems to work. Looked into the CDMA workshop settings. Nothing in there seems to help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If you have more questions I will try to answer. I'm stumped on this one. Oh and whenever I try to change the band again and it freezes and restarts.
Please help
Are you getting roaming charges applied ? (You can call customer care and confirm) .....Because after I flashed CM7.2 on my wildfire I used to get the roaming notification and the signal showed a R...roaming. But when I put in my sensation, when it was stock ....I didn't get the roaming thing.
Also when I put another network sim in wildfire I didn't get the R.
Freezing and restart used to happen too when I would get a no signal suddenly. Happened when I tried to choose a network manually.

Phone doesn't work on a SIM. Not sure about the charges, it looks like its just running off Verizon towers. I want to say I messed up the default radio settings that carry over through flashes. Just not sure exactly how to default them

you sir saved my life. I am sending a donation your way. Thanks 100x
I would like to add to this post that after reprovisioning, I actually get a better, more stable 3G connection. My phone used to jump into 1x mode a lot. Now it's steady in 3G. This may be a fix for that common issue on this phone? Just a shot in the dark. It's significantly helped my battery last longer today.

No Data Connection!

Hello all! I am need of assistance, I recently traded my black rooted s-off lte for a white unrooted ota having beast. After letting Sprint do their thing we weren't able to successfully have data on his phone. I have walked the guy through nandroiding back into a ROM I had and he updated the PRL successfully but, had an issue connecting still. He tried updating the Profile with no luck. Here is a little info:
BASEBAND:1.05.11.06.06
PRL VERSION: 25006
S-OFF
Stock w/Goodies 2.10 is the Sense ROM he is using.
what are my options?
If epst is available. Get his msl code. ##3282## then hit edit mode. Repair network settings thru this menu. Hopefully a simple data restore will help.

Note 2 can't get Verizon cdma and lte

I have a note 2 rooted and unlocked running beans. I have it on global mode using an att sim. But when I put in a Verizon 4g sim I don't get cdma lte just signal bars. Would I just need to do this?

Go into the hidden menu and do ##rtn# should be the last one. If I remember right this may cause a factory reset as well so be sure to back up.

You *might* have to go back to stock if the SIM can't be activated for Verizon. The debloating process might have removed something needed.
Would a factory reset delete beans plus root/relock bootloader ? Thanks ! I will try both of your suggestions and keep you posted !
I'm just curious have any if you powered the phone on without the sim. Then powered down, put the sim back and powered on?
It is such an easy thing?, but maybe someone overlooked it.

the same thing happened to my phone when i tried an att rom. i have a replacement on the way now but i thought of an idea. could you go back to stock and when you put the sim card in go to settings> more settings>mobile networks> Access point names> and select the verizon one? if you could report back i think it might help me too but i dont want to try it because i dont want to go through the hassle of replacing the sim card again from my loaner stratosphere right now. mucho appreciated.
I've gone through this multiple times now. ##Rtn# will fix it, and you just need to make sure you didn't accidentally get a 3g only prl somehow

I did the same thing for my son. I just flashed a Stock rooted Rom and uninstalled any app that gave him access to recovery and removed Titanium Backup. He's happy as can be. He uses Text Plus or something like that I bought to allow him to txt over wifi. That's all I did

Maybe you could PM an active dev and ask them what apps/system files you could safely and easily delete? You basically want the phone in airplane mode all the time.... So remove the phone app and not make the phone search for signal right??
I know there's a ROM or two in the OG Evo development section that serve this exact purpose....
Sorry I couldn't be of more help

I think sense 5 has a "kid" mode, but I don't know it it was removed, then use Titanium and freeze the phone and mms, and turn on airplane mode, use a custom launcher to hide apps... Can't think of anything else... Remember that bluetooth doesn't work on sense 5...

OK
So there's a post in Evo 4G Android Development by frickinjerms about his ROM that was made for inactive devices
He says he removed RIL libs and bin files to prevent the phone from knowing what to do with the radios. He also removed dialer, contacts, messaging, calendar, email, etc
He did a lot more too I'm sure but that's a quick easy rundown...
Thank you, I'll have to check that out.

Just keep in mind that if you remove Phone/mms apk then they will not be able to use those features in a app like Text Plus that allows them to send receive texts and free phone calls.

[Q] Dead Radios - how to test...

My stock Evo 4g LTE was working fine. I unlocked via HTC Dev, achieved S-Off (via http://moonshine.io) & flashed "Super Nexus" ROM.
Now voice radio is dead. Can't connect to sprint towers.
My bud who has more experience than me worked with it for several hours & flashed stock kernels, etc. He says that I killed the radio.
Nice... what is the best way to return the phone to 100% stock & test the radios..
He said maybe I flashed a GSM ROM, but Sprint is CDMA, so why would there even be a GSM ROM for a CDMA Carrier/Device? Confused...
Thanks for any tips you can provide...

If you're running a sense Rom, dial ##72786# from your dialer and select reset from the menu. You won't lose any data. Your phone will reboot and reactivate. Try that.

If that fails, being that you're S-off, search for the firmware thread and flash the latest radio.

Call or connect to chat with Sprint and have them activate your device. Be sure you are on a "close to stock" Rom for it to work. You will most likely need your MEID #.

Already did one better -- took it into a Sprint Store - had them activate it there... Can't connect to Sprint Network. NOTE: It wasn't a tech - it was just a counter person - but even after activating, no dice. They contacted their support folks for activation to see if there was any code they could type on the keypad to force it to activate... none of that worked. Can't connect to Sprint Network.
Plus, even if device isn't activated, 611 will reach Sprint Customer Service. And trying to load a web page should bring a message that data isn't activated on the device. i.e. it talks to the Sprint tower and recognizes that the phone isn't activated. Alas, it isn't even doing that...

Are you still on Super Nexus? That's a AOSP ROM and you won't be able to do any of the dialer codes or even try to activate it. You need to install a Sense ROM and try again what has been suggested above.
If flashing back to a Sense ROM doesn't get things working properly I'd suggest running a RUU. As previously stated, though, try the steps above & see if that works first.
Post your Hboot & baseband (radio) version, too.
