Hello all,
Last night, I tried updating my Rom on a sprint mogul to the recent dcd 2.2.6 and 3.27 radio.
I followed the steps of taking down the information, finding my unlock code, unlocking, and updating both roms.
It went with no problems. However my MSID was reset so i had to enter my unlock code that i got from get spc. before i reflashed my device, i checked to see if the code worked by trying to enter and edit epst.
But in windows 6.1 the unlock code didnt work, my msid and mdn were set to all 0.
I called sprint they gave me the same unlock code that didnt work.
So i tried reflashing back to the original sprint official release, that didnt work, i was getting an error 328 from the ruu.
I tried reflashing again dcd 2.2.6 rom, that worked but the radio wouldnt flash due to the same invalid command error 328 from the ruu.
So for a while i was stuck on the htc splash screen with a no radio display. I found a thread with a solution to the same problem. I flashed the leaked sprint rom 3.16, that worked and i was able to get up and running.
However in epst mode my hex and dec esn are all zeros. my original unlock code doesnt work, (the one from sprint), but when i enter in all 0 in getspc it generates the proper unlock code,
but i still can not connect to the sprint network even tho i am able to set my msid and msn to the correct values, my esn is still wrong (displays all zeros)
Can any please tell me if i can fix this, I was on the phone with sprint for 2 hrs with no avail. I need to set my esn on the phone to match my esn in hardware
Thank you,
Kevin
Okay, if I read your post right you do have your MSL number (unlock code) right? If you do, go to your keypad on the phone and dial ##3282# (##DATA#). It should ask you if you want to view or edit. Choose edit and type in your MSL number. On the main screen there should be an option on the left softkey that says "View Info". Choose that and then select "Advanced". At the top I believe you can edit your ESN number.
Hope that helps.

thank you for your reply.
I do have my unlock code. the ##data# shows the esn in advanced settings, but the box is greyed out and will not allow me to edit it.
It still shows 00000000.
Thank you, any other ideas, maybe a registy edit?
It sounds like something happened during the flash process. I talked to a PCS rep and they said you would have to bring it in and get it swapped. I can't think on any other way to get that info updated. Sorry.
no there is another way, you can sniff for the spc, the original thread about getspc had directions @ ppcgeeks

I went to a sprint tech and they said they i had to replace the phone, and they would order me a new one. but right now i have to wait the warehouse doesnt have any instock.
there is another way however, if it was erased by software, it can be changed by software.
I did not find anything relevant on the link above, i will keep looking through it. If someone could point me in a closer direction.
I do have my unlock code, currently all zeros, so im not looking to get my MSL number, im looking to change my ESN back to what it was, somehow it was set to all 0's during the rom update process.
Thank you,
Kevin
Perhaps you should change the thread title to something more specific to separate yourself from the masses who can't boot because they didn't upgrade their radio.
Perhaps try an RTN reset? This is a hard reset that erases provisioning data. I don't know if it can restore an ESN, but worth a try.
Go to dialer

Is it just me or does something seem wrong with this quote. Read the instructions here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17667
The phone needs to have the unlocker program run to install a custom rom. The code from GetSPC allows you to edit the settings not unlock your phone.

Look i dont need any smart comments.
Well actually for your information, the MSL code is used to unlock your phone. the unlocker program is used to unlock your bootloader to accept a custom rom.
MSL - master subsidy lock, this locks network settings so that a user can not change them, the code given by getspc is stored in nV ram on the phone and is used to gain access to these files, thus "unlocking" the phone. unlocking the bootloader is another story...
anywho, i was able to get my phone working, i reprogrammed my esn, reprogrammed my MSL from all zeros to the proper value, and now my phone is back on the sprint network.
if you guys are interested i will write a tutorial on how i did this, just to respond to the other post, a hard reset does not restore esn data.
Good for you! I'm glad you figured it out. I would be interested on how you got it working again.

This would be a handy bit of knowledge as they go thru great lengths to keep it from being done. Ususally the filesystem for that section of the phone is locked and protected, requiring the QXDM (Qualcomm Extensible Diagnostic Monitor) software to get in. I have an older version that I used to use to play with older phones and it worked great, but a newer one would be needed for these phones. Old style glitch corruption will mess up any filesystem and even mess up protected areas, which is likely what happened to yours. I would love to know how you did it without QXDM ;-)Thanks.

Wow. A pretty harsh response to someone who was trying to help out.
A tutorial will be nice. if you have the time!

Krazeintentz,
I would be very interested in your final fix for this problem. The exact same thing happened to me a while back and my only way out at the time was a replacement titan under warranty from vzw.
If we had your steps to recovery then we would be a lot closer to having a disaster recovery wiki.
As another poster said, yours was a real rom flashing problem as opposed to the numerous "brick" cases that we see everyday from just half done flashes. So it makes it all the more relevant that we have a wiki for this problem.
Regards
Since he has not said, heres a theory
The filesystem is protected from editing in the address range where the ESN resides. The QXDM software shows the actual file structure of the chipsets flash and the files have actual attributes and the ESN file is read only, so the EPST is not supposed to be able to edit the ESN (as this would be cloneing a phone and not legal). If you follow the steps in a flash memory update, you would see that the contents of these protected files are read, saved, and then the flash is totally erased, then written with the new revision, and finally the protected storage is written and the attribute is set to read only. The QXDM is required to manually unlock these attributes, but there is a key that allows the flash utility to erase the stuff. if the flash was interrupted either by hardware or software error at the point after the erase and writeback but before the write of protected file area, the ESN would be blank and also the EPST in the phone would be able to edit it in edit mode because the attribute is the very last thing written. I bet thats how he fixed it and now has a cloneable phone too and can change his ESN any time he wants, at least until he flashes the radio again which will fix the glitch by process. Thats probably what he did.
Hey guys Im a noob and im having a bit of problems
Im stuck in the bootloader screen
TITA100 MFG
SPL-2.40 Olipro
CPLD-9
My comp has windows vista premium so instead of activesync i have windows device center 6.1 I have unclicked allow USB connections
but i think my comp doesnt recognize that they the phone is connected at all although i do here the sound that lets me know that a usb device is connected

Has anyone had any problems after using the revolutionary S-OFF guide? I am currently 3 days into a problem, I havn't had much time to work on my phone because I've been so busy but this is my first step of getting down to the issue and I will post my solution when I find it.
ONLY problems I am having...
1. I cannot send/receive texts
2. I cannot make/receive calls
What's working...
1. Data/internet is working 100% with no issues(this is kinda weird)
2. Everything else is working fine
What I've tried so far...
1. Wiping all data flashing numerous different roms
2. restoring a nandroid backup
3. using QPST Tools to flash my Sprint data back up(I backed up my Sprint settings with this)
4. I was using PRL 01337 and even flashed different PRL'S
5. I went to menu>settings>System Updates> and updated PRL and profile
6. I dialed ##3282#>entered my MSL>Edit settings and changed my proxy to 0's(user name and all other info is correct I assure you)
7.Dialed ##MY_MSL_CODE#>edit settings> My phone number and MDN number are correct and I even changed a number then changed it back, hit menu, then commit modifications so it reboots.. still nothing.
8. I updated the most current radios
9. Everytime I go into recovery to try flashing again I check to see if im S-OFF and I am still S-OFF. I know I rooted correctly and have the recovery installed correctly, I am using TWRP V1.0.1
10. Just flashed the latest ViperRom, Once again Data works great but when I call or text I get an error code.
Error codes received:
-When sending a text I get "SMS ERROR - Radio Interface Resource Shortage"
Cause Code: 62
Error Class: 2
-When I make a call it rings a few times then says "
Solved...
Here's the most simple solution to fix your Talk, Text, & Calling errors after you have rooted to s-off. Not everyone experiences this issue, but if you run into it your in the right place. This is what we like to call a "Data refresh". It wipes ALLL your sprint connection settings, reboots, and goes through a "Hands Free Activation".
Step 1. Get your MSL(Master subsidy Lock). Since root is available now, this is very simple to get! Just download MSL READER from the app market after you are fully rooted to S-OFF.
Step 2. Dial ##72786#, enter your MSL code.
Step 3. Press Menu, then "Reset". Your phone will reboot and will go through a hands free activation. You now have a fully working 3VO S-OFF.
(Note: In step 3 when I told you to click reset, keep in mind this does NOT reset your phone and all your personal stuff, apps, etc. will still be right where they were before you reset it.)
You need to stay on the line when making a call. Let it reach customer service and say that you encountered an error 16 and they need to reprovision your profile on their end.
It will require a battery pull, so you may need to call from another phone.
That will fix your text/call problem.
Bluetooth headset pairing issue!
I'm trying to pair some bluetooth stereo headphones and my phone isn't recognizing the new device. It is able to connect with all the previously paired devices, but it won't recognize any new headset devices. I've tried pairing it to two headsets (one of which I unpaired and tried re-pairing) without success. Please help! THanks....
Thank you sooooo much!!! Tried calling Sprint 3 times to fix that...
Edit: didn't work. Radio interface resource shortage still. Grrrrrrrrr!
Sent from 3D A.W.E.S.O.M-O
well i took my phone to "unlock wireless" in my area..had them set my phone up for page plus 55 dollar plan..get it going good..but data would not send at all..so i talked with page plus and they had ot do a few ## numbers to try to reprogram it..then it made it have the roaming icon and they said id have to reflash..ive been trying multiple work throughs from this site and i follow instructions to the T but im always getting error like (device not found) or when trying to write the recovery.img it says ok on sending then fails writing
i just want to be able to send picture messages and not have this roaming icon everytime i try to make a call
any suggestions?
oh and i believe im unlocked..my MSL (even tho i cant read it with anything) is 000000 which means unlocked right? im new to this..i rooted my old evo but this is a whole diff ball game not starting fresh
Dial ##3282# on the dialer and tap edit mode. And then type your msl . If all zeros does not work then your msl is different than that. And msl with all zeros does not mean you are unlocked. It can be anything and you can change it. And as for recovery.IMG, you cannot write it because it requires an unlocked boot loader . And unlocked boot loader again has nothing to do with your msl or network.
If the 000000 msl does not work after you dial ##3282# > edit mode, then you can find out your msl with msl reader app. It requires a rooted phone and to root your 3d you need a custom recovery which requires an unlocked boot loader.
If you just need your msl and don't want to try different aosp ROMs or GB, just unlock the boot loader from www.htcdev.com, then flash a recovery (I recommend 4ext, don't flash cwm it has issues) then flash superuser zip from recovery and install Msl reader from play store.
Simply put, you're going to have to flash in a custom PRL if you want the roaming indicator to go away. I'm not sure if I can post info on how to edit a PRL, or even flashing one into your phone, but the good new is, it's only an indicator in reference to sprint or virgin. So it may say roaming, but according to your pageplus plan, you're probably not actually roaming. Here's an example, I'm running my EVO3D on verizon wireless, and I get a roaming indicator, but my service/perfomance on my phone is not effected. Just make sure you have "data roaming" enabled and you should be good to go.
I have tried every solution I can think of to enter the MDN and MSID on my phone. One touch activation doesn't pop up, even on a new rom install or factory reset. Update Profile completes sometimes, but it doesn't seem to do anything to the phone. It just tells me it completed, and even after reboot, I have no MDN/MSID. I have tried the dialer menu options. I have tried both a ##786# reset, and a ##72786# reset, but neither worked. After that, I punched in my MSL in the dialer menu and manually entered the MDN and MSID I received from sprint. I hit "commit modifications" and received a "commit failed" popup. The phone rebooted, and none of the changes had been saved.
I am now looking to use QPST, but I'm not sure which setting is the MSID. I think the "Directory Number" setting is the MDN, but correct me if I'm wrong. Can someone with QPST expertise give me the proper way to enter the MSID & MDN?
Use DFS, at least what I use all the time and demo version is free and go to the download area and download drives for HTC http://www.cdmatool.com/download
1..dial ##3484# on your phone and connect it to the computer
2...Open DFS and Click "Ports" ...look for you phone and double click it or right click and choose "add/remove port" then close that window
3 Where it says SPC....send your SPC then click programming tab then while on that tab click NAM. you should find all you need there and hit "write" when you're done
Which ROM are you using? QPST shouldn't be needed to set those.
