I have a simple question, is it necessary to read and write the NV items if i'm able to read the Ha/AAA keys from the incognito using CDMA WS (registered/newest version) if so, what is the purpose of the nv items in the flashing process? I'm not only trying to flash, but understand the concept of the process as well. And are the AAA/HA keys tied to the MEID of the boost phone or are they tied to the MDN? I've been flashing to page plus and the HA/AAA keys reset with every phone number change. Is the process the same for boost mobile?
[EVO 4G General] lowgs:
heres the problem i have to reflash my phone do i need to wipe my phone and reroot it or can i leave all my info on the phone?
[EVO 4G General] Klown80:
You just need to change some info to match new incognito, rerooting is not needed as flashing to boost does not affect it
[EVO 4G General] Tripp-phpBB:
So, this might not exactly belong here but I really familiar with the EVO section and would rather ask here. I'm not new to this, I've flashed 2 EVO's and a Samsung Moment off an old Touch Pro 2 I have on Boost. Well, a friend had a US Cellular Touch Pro 2 and I bought it off of him for $30.

To my amazement, I have flashed it over and got voice and sms to work great, no problems. I opened open service programming for my Samsung Moment and the Touch Pro 2 and made sure the settings were the exact same considering this isn't a native Sprint phone. Loaded a Sprint PRL and finally changed the ESN/MEID and it worked.

But for some reason I can't get the data to work, I have my profiles set up exactly right, I've done this before and could always get it to work but I feel like I might be missing a setting somewhere that might still be linked to US Cellular. My AAA/HA passwords are correct and what not so any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
[EVO 4G General] kolosus:
Did you load a Sprint prl on the device? Did you turn on roaming?
[EVO 4G General] Tripp-phpBB:
Yup, Google and founded the latest Sprint PRL and loaded it through QPST and it stuck. Like I said, voice and SMS are working, just not data. Haven't tried roaming yet, I'll give it a go.

I'm wondering if loading a Sprint based ROM would change anything.
[EVO 4G General] cryptic3:
I don't have service with sprint anymore so I wanted to flash to boost but I had some questions. 1 when I flash to boost do I have to use a specific Rom or can I use any custom Rom?
[EVO 4G General] kolosus:
Any. But stock and stock based Rom gives best results. Aosp Rom have mms problems and have no epst.
[EVO 4G General] Tripp-phpBB:
There's a thread in here that has settings that will allow MMS to work on AOSP ROMs. Tried it myself and worked perfectly.

Edit: Also wanted to add I fixed my data problem, change the ROM which included the Sprint radio and data started working as soon as the ROM booted up.

So if you flash a non-Sprint CDMA phone, load a Sprint PRL, Radio, and ROM and it should work just fine as would a regular Sprint phone. :D

Sanyo Mirror as a donor

wanted to check with you guys to see if anyone has used a Sanyo Mirror has a donor phone,Its a CDMA , 3g phone on boost but i didn't see it on the list. Thanks
[EVO 4G General] kolosus:
That is not a 3g phone. Android with 1x speeds its depressing.

I found a way more easier to flash the evo to boost ... I don't use qpst nor qxdm .... takes less than 30 minutes
[EVO 4G General] Ken C:
Do tell..
[EVO 4G General] kolosus:
Pray please tell us.

He could be talking about using the real cdma workshop. It's much faster and no need of the other programs. Only problem is not everyone is willing to buy it given that they will probably be using it once or twice.
[EVO 4G General] JUSMEJOSE:
Yup I only use the paid version of cdma workshop .... and it works for all the evo , 3d, lte, shift and many more ... its just so easy ... doesnt require root ... im surprised that noneone hasent notice it ... pm if you wanna know ...
[EVO 4G General] gh0strider89:
about there

need to see if anyone is on that can im me i am about done i hope.i am at the point of 0 my mied and esn out just got done and i rebooted the phone and the meid(hex) has ''a1000000000000'' that i wasnt sure if i needed to 0 out the a1?

2nd thing is my esn # DIDNT 0 out but there a few that i seen that had the first 7 # right but the last one was a A and not a 0 so i didnt mess it if anyone could get back with me asap would really help me thanks for ur time

still looking for help i want to try taking out th A1 but dont want to mess the phone up

i will be up for about 2 more hours
[EVO 4G General] Ken C:
I was thinking the same thing about purchasing the program in that I'd only use it a time or two.

#1 What's the cost on that?

#2 would it work on any cdma phone?

#3 where could it be gotten from?

If the cost isn't too crazty and it'd work on all kinds of phones I'd be interested.
[EVO 4G General] Klown80:
1) about $109

2) It works on alot of phones, it has a list of phones you can use it on. Go here for more info:

3) http://www.cdma-ware.com

I have the paid version, if you use it enough to warrant paying that price for it, it does make things much much easier!! Hope this helps!
[EVO 4G General] treyweez11:
Im curious if you can use any other donor phones? I dont care about 3g at the moment. is that possible? I want to use the Motorola theory.
[EVO 4G General] alexpapa17:
I bought a boost mobile Sanyo Incognito phone (not the actual phone, just the information) from a reputable service on ebay, and they sent me the meid and the NV items (pulled from CDMA workshop 2.7). I created an account with Boost and was on my way to flash to my Evo 4g. After rooting, then rerooting, and trying as many guides as I could find, I find no success. My question to you all is this: Is it even possible for me to do the root with this just the NV items?

I read that it is possible to pull the HA and AAA passwords from the NV items using Winhex, but how?

I read that you need the NAM1 and NAM2 files, which I don't have. What to do about this?

Any help would be much appreciated, I've sent an email to the seller for the NAM1 and NAM2 files and the HA and AAA passwords, but I'm doubtful that he will respond....
[EVO 4G General] Klown80:
You just need MEID and Pro 0 info really, that info can be found in the NV items. All you need to do is that one step first, then just ##786# reset the phone, when it reboots, let it try to OTA and that will get talk and text working, cancel profile and prl update for now. hen you just need to put profile 0 info into Evo and update profile, the network will write pro 1 for you. Feel free to PM me if you get stuck or have any questions.

NV items should be able to be read with just notepad, is it a .txt document? NAM 1 and 2 just have to do with your MSID and MDN (phone number) these you can get from your boost acct if you know how, but really dont need them because phone should program it for you when you OTA. HA pw is always 736563726574 btw ("secret" in plain text)

Rooting the phone has nothing to do with flashing it, I would recommend rooting as well but no matter how many times you try to root it, it will NOT put your phone on Boost. Plus once you are rooted, unless you specifically unroot then just uninstalling the SuperUser app does not unroot your phone.

On a side note, would you ind PM'ing me the dealer you used? I have been looking for a place to get somewhat cheap donors from, will be worth a shot to check out.

Hope this helps!!
[EVO 4G General] ykman1:
Im having a major issue... I got everything working with a stock prl from the original stock rom (Dont remember what PRL it was) I had installed, but I was only getting 1x, so I updated to a better rom and when I went to update prl all my settings went back to stock.. So.. I re-applied all my settings, cloned everything 100% in DFS and QPST and now nothing is working whatsoever, then I added the newest Boost PRL (61009), made sure all my settings were 100% and still no data, voice or text but I have signal instead of it being X-ed out.. Then I updated my radio and PRI and still no data?? Now Im going crazy trying to figure out what Im doing wrong or if I messed up something within the phone from flashing a PRL?? Also wondering if I ODIN will it start me all over again with a stock PRL and Radio?? Any help is greatly appreciated! Im going insane trying to figure this out!

Android 2.2

Baseband Version 2.15.00.12.19

PRI Version 2.33_003

PRL Version 61006

myn's Warm TwoPointTwo ROM

Using Prevail as Donor.
[EVO 4G General] JUSMEJOSE:
You don't need to scan the NV items anymore... you just need the MEID and SPC/MSL of the donor phone and just paste it to the phone that your gonna flash .... and re-boot the phone and update the profile and go to DATA and change the URL from sprint to http://mm.boostmobile.com and boom your done less than 30 minutes with 3G and MMS working .... Thank me later ...

And if you more help PM and ill help you over team viewer ....

help with samsung prevail

how do i use the prevail as a donor phone is not the same as the others?
[EVO 4G General] Klown80:
first you want to root your prevail... google works great for this aslo check http://androidforums.com

next step you want to download a android terminal... free on android market!

now go to android terminal and type

su

getprop ril.MSL

your 6# spc then should pop up

now to get nv items go back to your android terminal

su

dd if=/dev/stl5 of=/sdcard/cdma.rfs

then plug ur phone to computer with usb, turn storage space and copy the cdma.rds file off sd to desktop and use the magic iso

to extract to destop open the cdma.rf file you extracted and go to NVM folder then open the NUM folder and copy the

465, 465_1, 466, 466_1, 1192, 1194 files there the ones that you need...

ha and aaa pass are stored in the nv items, you need to use a hex editor to veiw the nv item you want

NV 1192 - SPRINT AAA KEY UNIQUE TO EACH PHONE this is the important one

SPRINT and BOOST HA KEY is always 73 65 63 72 65 74 (hex to ascii = secret)

I am not sure which NV item has the Boost AAA Keys, but doing a profile update gets it loaded on the phone

the 16 digit password for the prevail is samsungs default pass...

What are donor phones used for?
[EVO 4G General] CNexus:

[EVO 4G General] datatype_void:
I bought a Sanyo Incognito on ebay, completed the steps, and have voice and MMS working, but the data is not working. I flashed the donor phones MSL, but Update Profile and Update PRL both throw an error 1233. I have a 3G symbol showing, but no page will load. EVDO engineering says 1=Authenticated. Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G General] Klown80:
Do a ##786# reset, when it reboots let it OTA activate to get talk and text working then cancel PRL and profile update for now. Use Qpst or CDMA paid to make sure profile 0 NAI (username), AAA key, and HA key are all correct and write to phone (phone will write pro 1 when you update profile), when it reboots update PRL and profile and phone should have 3g working. If still no 3g, I would recommend double and triple checking the profile info in the incognito.

Hope this helps!
[EVO 4G General] datatype_void:
I tried doing this, and I am positive that I am typing in the keys correctly. Let me walk you through what I did. I did a ##786# reset, the OTA activation failed. I typed in the donor phones MSL, but the EVO's was restored to stock. I opened cdmaTerm and flashed the donor MSL to the EVO. Tried OTA activation again, with no luck. ##MSL# and changed the MSID and MSN to the correct values, committed changes, and voice worked. I then flashed the AAA/HA keys and the NAI to profile 0. Tried PRL Update and Profile update and both still failed, throwing an error 1233. I checked the MIP and PPP Config tabs, and the profile 1 as well as the username in the User ID in the AN tab were both still stock. Ugh...
[EVO 4G General] sdwyz74:
Well I've did thousands of flashes but this is a different kind of monster so the first one took about 7/8 hrs either way if everything is right and your sure DO A PROFILE UPDATE IT WILL FAIK THEN DO A PRL UPDATE AND YOU WILL SEE IT POP A REALLY QUICK 3G BONER HIT CAN then go to mobile networks and click cdma only and the the mobile network will be of turn it back on and pray but you should see 3g instantly if that does not do it then you ##3282# go EVO engineering I think ??? Can't remember but its another hidden menu it has a bunch of cdma/LTE options you want the one that says cdma HDR only or something like that you can't miss it! Selet that and you should be good back out throw phone in airplane mode for about a minute the make sure your in good area and as far as signal and take out of airplane mode pop a Solid 3g Woody and welcome to the BOOSTED EVO CLUB!
[EVO 4G General] 9h0s7:
Mobile Networks CDMA is for AOSP

EPST HDR Only is for Sense

For me, HDR only is only found on Sense ROMs

CDMA only on a Sense ROM is only 1x

But on AOSP its only 3G

idk most claim its only placebo and this does affect being able to receive texts and calls while 3G only mobile data is enabled

Personally in my area I think it does make a difference with signal strength and data bandwidth.
[EVO 4G General] hpardo11:
When you restore to stock Sprint Sense rom in order to get the dial codes working do you have to stay on a Sense ROM? I like Cyanogen mod and kinda don't want to keep using Sense ROMs. Couldn't I just do a NANDroid backup and restore it after the Boost flashing is done?

Please help flashed evo 4g prevail donor

so i have read and read forum and guide on how to flash a evo 4g to boost mobile i have not been succeful so i paid some one on ebay to do a remote flash becasue i felt that maybe i could learn from what he does but it was not so i eneded up teaching him how to do certain stuff. so big waste of time here is all i have done i have zero out all meid in qxdm then rewrote them to my donor phone the prevail checked them in dfs and it all matched correctly loaded all the nv items put in all the passwords saved it and rebooted phone. ones it was rebooted i still have no voice or data or any thing. what am i doing wrong me and the guy that i paid to get my phone flashed have checked everything about 3 times. the only thing i have different from all the guides is the raido version because i could not find the file they keep putting on the guide the 2.15.11..... my phone is rooted could some one plese help
[EVO 4G General] mcmikeyc:
My friend bought a Sprint Evo 4g from someone that was already flashed for Boost. He has a Galaxy Prevail now on Boost. Does he have to go through the whole flashing process to get his # to the Evo or is there a simpler way since it is already flashed for Boost? Also will the data be 4g or only 3g?

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] gellybelly:
Will have to be reflashed, and only get 3g. Just have him keep the evo as it is and use it, if its working already. But if he wants to change his number then you'll have to reflash it. Pull from the Prevail and Flash to the Evo, or get another donor and add the handset to account, then activate and pull info and flash to Evo.
[EVO 4G General] qbanways:
Quick questions, I currently have a rooted EVO 4g on the sprint network and I want to get it to boost . On the guide, do I just start on round 5?
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
To use any sprint phone on boost, other then the few older non androids that are in boost esn database, you need to start with a donor phone that is already boost branded.
[EVO 4G General] tigron:
I could really use some help getting my evo to boost. I've pieced together all the necessary steps as far as I know and I can't get activated. I get an error 1016 and account can not be authenticated.
[EVO 4G General] Klown80:
Are you sure it isn't error 16? That is what it sounds like. Does it say that at the end of a message when you try to make a call? If so you need to log into your boost acct online and swap out handsets then swap back and that will clear the error 16. If you do not have an extra boost phone PM me and I will help you do it.

Hope this helps and good luck!
[EVO 4G General] vinman12:
can call boost and have them reset your phone. I had a boost account on a evo and called them up and just had them reset me and bam.

just saying.
[EVO 4G General] Klown80:
Bam, and then sprint knows what you are doing when they have to fix your error 16. They can't/aren't doing anything about it yet, but I am glad that I know I'm not on that list so no possible future repercussions. Just saying........
[EVO 4G General] vinman12:
lol, nice thanks for marking me.

a simple I rather not do that but thanks for the reply.

to reply to your response let me change my first reply to this so you better understand what i was telling you to try,

I would call boost and tell them your having a problem with your phone after trying to do a sofware update your phone

seems to be acting up and is not functioning right, then they will walk you through the procedures to do this and that.

tons of people I told to do this walked away first shot fully functional phone. you might even get a new msl from them aswell

anyways its your choice do what you will with my advice.

Mobile Network unavailable

OK so I have been searching for the last 4 days and have come up with nothing. I decided to Root my boost htc evo design 4g so i got the guide from android forums and i unlocked it just fine got root fine used heaven rom and now i have no mobile service so i went back to stock rom and tried all over and same result in stock rom no service so i decided use another heaven rom that i was assured was for boost and still no mobile service i tired factory reset and when it tries to do the hand free connect i get call sprint or *2 so i called boost and they cant pull my phone up they say its unavailable so im thinking my phone is trying to access sprint network via sprint instead of boost on a sprint network. any ideas how to fix .. my phone number comes back as 000 000 0079
[EVO 4G General] vinman12:
Did you have mobile service after root, before u flashed Rom.

My guess is you lost your AA and HA

Keys, this could happen if wiped system before u flashed a Rom. If you made a backup of your system I might be able to get it back
[EVO 4G General] dsr20000:
I didnt know how to back my phone files and i had paid for titanium pro and it needed root so i decided to root it rookie mistake i am kicking myself for number one rule in my field is make a back up I am a computer tech so i fudged up there and no had service before root and lost it after
[EVO 4G General] vinman12:
yeah well thats a problem.I know those keys are for data 3g, but im pretty sure if you know your msl keys and you go into ##your_msl_number_here# edit mode

and enter your msid, and phone number that might get you back up and running as far as phone service. and im pretty sure ##data# you can edit other stuff in there you may have wiped out.
[EVO 4G General] dsr20000:
okay im going to try that now but i just want to say thanks for your help the other forum if they said they knew how to fix and would get back to me and never did at least here if you know you will say if not just say you dont know so i thank you for your help and imma try that now is this info unique to your phone or can i get some info from another phone
[EVO 4G General] vinman12:
Pretty much should work on your phone, it just seems your info was wiped out, boost would have u do this aswell if you were to swap devices. I think once you get your info programed back in it should work.

[EVO 4G General] dsr20000:
no still have no service i was able to change the number but i was able to get my msid from boost and still same issue

update and its what we call in the computer tech field a id10t error but in my defense who would of thought a battery cover made a difference well it does when your phone wont activate unless it has the back cover on it due to the 2 metal prongs on the cover the connect to the antenna to complete activation so after putting that on and changing my msid and number in the phone all is now working perfectly my lovely rooted heavenly rom htc is finally free
[EVO 4G General] tigron:
I'm pretty sure It's a 1016 that comes up when trying to text or update profile and prl. The voice when placing a call says can't be authenticated and doesn't send me to a boost rep. Is there a certain Rom that works best to get things going ? I'm running midnight 1.5.3 right now.

[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
Stock rom with dialer codes, works the easiest. but any rom that includes the dialer codes should work.

check your meid make sure its exactly what the donor's is. if possible go to boost website and update handset, change to a different esn, even a none working phone. just as long as the esn is valid. 5 mins is usually good enough, put your donors esn back in. This will allow the system to refresh/reset.

At that point try the ##768#, reset then cancel the activation and put in the correct profile 0 info and reboot let it activate.
