Does anyone know of the easier way to zero out the meid and esn's that some have claimed in this thread? Any help would be appreciated.
[EVO 4G General] LeslieAnn:
The only alternative is the Qmat option and that requires one of two radios and is far from foolproof.

In the end, it's a bit more risky and not guaranteed to work and you still may end up doing it the long way.
[EVO 4G General] alnova1:
If anyone has the Evo Qmat pm me please. All the links I could find were for megaupload. thanks

I know nothing about radios and how to zero out

I feel like im about to brick the hell out of my phone i just installed twrp2 and did the recovery. im running hboot 1.5 s-on droid version 2.3.4 Sense version 3.0 software number 2.17.651.5 baseband 1.06.00.1216. ok i got superuser to work finally with flashing twrp2 and using the recovery but s-on is still there. i want to zero out my addresses and rewrite them i have faulty information in my phone. with this radio i cant find any of my memory addresses i need help asap.
[EVO 4G General] Klown80:
Do you have an Evo 4G or 3D? that does not sound like 4G info.. Also, people have had problems with TWRP on the Evo 4G if I remember right, something about it messing with your phones partitions and bricking it.

Regardless, I know an easier method rather than scanning memory for addresses, if you need help with that part PM me.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] louforgiveno:
Make sure you have your spc/msl...grab msl reader in the market...put the number in the bottom field when connecting to efs explorer, also make sure you've added your port under configuration...after making "open sesame folder" -folder restart your phone.

Prevail

So I am using a prevail and I have got voice and mms working. I have my aaa ha passwords but I can't get data to work no matter what I do. I had it fine on an Incognito.
[EVO 4G General] Dean_L:
The passwords change each time you change the donor phone on the Boost website.
[EVO 4G General] ezfilez:
Yes they do ... I had this problem once even not switching phones for some reason my aaa passwords changed ... you should be getting a data error on the phone ... make sure your donor is working then go through the steps again.
[EVO 4G General] surfdude_fl:
Thanks for the replies. I changed them to the ones out of the Prevail and it just won't connect. I am assuming it is a problem with profile 0.

EDIT: Well it used to work, the prevail I mean.

EDIT 2: I left Prevail on for about an hour and it was working again. Pulled the info again. Passwords are correct. The two things I noticed was was the spi mn-aa and -aaa were different. Also, I did not capital the hex in the NAI. Will try again.
[EVO 4G General] surfdude_fl:
Well that made no difference.

I have an old Samsung Rant from sprint (just retired it a few months ago in favor of an og evo) will this work as a donor phone? Or does it have to be an actual boost mobile rant?

Also where should I start for flashing an Evo 3D to boost mobile? Most of the info I find seems to be incomplete or outdated. I'm still on Sprint, just called to cancel and they said I could go ETF free so long as I did so before March 24th.

Do I activate the rant on boost first and then copy its MEID to the E3D, and then port my number? Or do I do it in some other order?
[EVO 4G General] Rakeesh_j:
When I try to activate a sprint Samsung Rant the boost mobile website, it says:

Is there another way I am supposed to do this? BTW I am planning on using this as a donor phone for an HTC Evo 3D

[EVO 4G General] louforgiveno:
You'll need a boost branded Rant, won't work with the Sprint one.....once you get a suitable donor feel free to pm me, got a easy guide.
[EVO 4G General] BEER30:
No activation fee

Just activate the phone from your online boost account. I switched mine three times using preowned phones and had no fees.

I just followed this guide best I could to successfully flash my EVO 3D to Boost.

http://up.ppcgeeks.com/EVO3D/Users/OMJ/boost/

The software from this link worked great. I installed a separate HD to XP so all the drivers would work and they did work great. I did a lot of research and all of these guides have pretty big holes in the logic where you have to either get assistance from someone telling you how to get from step A to step E (Yeah there are areas where 3 or 4 steps are missing to get you between steps) or you have to hunt around to figure it out on your own. If the guide starts out with Round 1 ... Round 2 ... plan for at least a whole weekend (10-20 hours) to get it done. Klown80 is very knowledgable about the process and answered questions for me when I got stuck so I was able to get the whole process completed in about 5 hours. This is after I did a dry run of around 4 hours of the first part of the process the day before to make sure I wasn't missing anything crucial.

I keep seeing references to the Rant and Incognito as donor phones. I was wondering if other phones could be used as donor phones such as say a 3g capable phone with a different OS but with a lot less cool software available?:confused:
[EVO 4G General] Dean_L:
You can use ANY CDMA phone from Boost as long as you can extract the info you need from the donor phone. The trick is a BOOST phone, since one can no longer get non Boost MEID's on the service.

Account cannot be validated!!!

Ok Well Ive gone thru the whole process of Flashing my Evo 4g, but I come across 2 problems... The First is when I started writing my NIV files.. 1192 and 1194 I can back with 0 NIV file were written.. Then i opend up the file and this is what was in the File..

[NV Items]

[Complete items - 0]

1192 (0x04A8) - Inactive item

And the same for NIV 1194, Is that suppose to be like that.. Next when I try to dail 611 it says that Account cannot be validated!!! I have completely restored my Evo to factory setting and the donor phone yet it still will not work.. I done the whole guide 2 times and nothing.. The evo reads all the same Msid, ESN, and MEID as my donor phone.. What could be the reason why if wont full flash.. Any help please been at this for about a week now.. Thanks to all..
[EVO 4G General] woodz93:
I had this same issue. One user told me that he didn't need to write those NV items, all he did was change MEID, do a ##786# reset, on reboot redo the AAA, HA, and NAI for both proflies. Reboot phone after that (if the program doesn't already prompt you to)

What I DID miss, and is critical... is to update profile and PRL once you do this. You should be good to go after that :) Since you already called 611 and got that message, chances are once you do all that you will get an error 16 if you try calling out - no problem, just remember to tell the lady your DONOR phone info...
[EVO 4G General] youngchris29:
I am having some trouble. I followed the guide perfectly and i got the meid from my donor changed over to the evo. I even have working 3g data. But i cant make or receive any calls. Whenever i go to make a call, I get a message saying "your authentication code could not be validated, please contact customer service". Anyone know whats going on with that? I turned off the evo and tried to place a call on the donor, and everything was fine. Im really stressing right now as I dont know where i went wrong.

**EDIT** I wanted to give you a little more info, I also tried updating profile and prl (which went through, surprisingly) but that didnt seem to help at all.

[EVO 4G General] Klown80:
@youngchris

You either need to call Boost to fix the error 16 or if you have another unactivated boost phone handy, just log in to your acct on boosts website. Go to update handset and simply switch phones and then switch back. Then turn off evo and reboot and you should be good to go!

If you need anymore help/guidance on this, hit me with a PM.

Is there anyway to get the HA and AAA passwords from the HTC EVO? I have been at this for a few days with no luck so I decided to ask one of you experts. I have tried QXDM, I got the first profile but the the second is all zeros. I don't have the donor phone anymore, EVO has been on boost for almost 2 years. Now, trying to switch to Nexus S 4G all I need is the HA and AAA passwords for PROFILE 1 (which i believe is for boost). Any help?? PLEASE!!!
[EVO 4G General] vasiaeva:

[EVO 4G General] youngchris29:
Hmm sounds like you might need to reload your Nam 1 file from your donor to your evo
[EVO 4G General] Klown80:
@soulassasin

Does your 3g work properly on the evo? If so you might try the demo version of DFS, I can give you the link to the download page if you need it. It will show you your AAA an HA in plain text. HA is always the same for everyone, it will be same as your profile 0 HA. PM me if you need assistance

@youngchris

Yeah, if you listen to the whole message at the very end it says 16 :p
[EVO 4G General] soulassasin187:
I would really appreciate it Klown80. You can send me the link please. As a matter of fact 3g works perfectly. I will try the DFS and let you know if it works. Thanks again.

Ok, I have voice and text, but no data. I done the ha and aaa like 3 different times and nothing... Ny donor phone is a Sanyo Juno... And read the ha and aaa, from the phone ##3282#.. and it said it was 1234..... Tired that and nothing... As well any help please. Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] Klown80:
Press ##786#, then hit menu. Select reset. (CAUTION - will factory reset your phone so save anything worth saving first!) once phone reboots, let it ota activate. Then go to settings, update phone and update profile then prl. If that alone doesn't work then you may have to make sure NAI, HA pw's , and AAA pw's for profile 0 and 1 are correct and 3g should pop up. The HA and AAA info you see in the ##3282# menu are not your passwords. You need to read those through DFS or QPST

***If I have managed to help, please take a moment to hit my thanks button! ***
[EVO 4G General] louforgiveno:
the Sanyo Juno is not a 3g capable phone so you do not have a 3g data profile to use.....use a incognito or a rant as a donor

I have an Evo phone that is on Boost with a Donor phone.

Everything is working great..

I would like to transfer my Sprint cell number from another NONBOOST phone to this Evo that is on boost..

Do I just need to go through the normal process of transferring the number. .

Just not sure when I transfer the number, if Boost actually does anything to the actual phone for the new number...

[EVO 4G General] mkelsho:
U have to change the number on the donor phone. And the EVO might need to be reflashed

I could really use some help. I don't know if i missed something, the meid, esn and mdn all check out. Evo 4g. Data works great, cant make voice calls.

Any idea's on this?
[EVO 4G General] youngchris29:
Just stay on the phone and a sprint rep will answer and ask you a few questions about what phone you have. Just tell them your donor phone info and they will refresh your account. Then you just reset your phone and place a call and you're done!
[EVO 4G General] mkelsho:
U need to turn both phones off and call boost with a separate phone and have them refresh ur account...u r getting an error 16 message because boost (sprint) figured out u have a cloned phone. Do not stay on the line, and I'll say it again just incase u were still thinking of it...DO NOT STAY ON THE LINE...if u use ur donor phone it works fine, if u use ur cloned phone u get error 16....because they know, and by staying on the line u r confirming to sprint u know and have a cloned phone...there is no need for u to get an error 16 because u "do not" have a cloned phone so there is no need for u to stay on the line. .....also don't tell boost about the error, just say ur having issues
[EVO 4G General] youngchris29:
I just assumed he knew not to have both phones on at the same time lol. I got the same error when I flashed my evo. All I did was stay on the line and the sprint rep answered and said "I see you're having trouble placing calls. What phone do you have? What's your phone number and pin?" I just told them I had an incognito and my account info and she refreshed my account and told me to turn off my phone, wait 30 seconds, turn it back on, and place a call that lasted at least 30 seconds, and all was good! But I guess to be safe he can use your method :p
[EVO 4G General] mkelsho:
I didn't say ur method wouldn't work, because it does...but don't u realize ur on Boost Mobile ur phone is trying to connect u Sprint that something isn't right......although Sprint owns Boost Mobile, it is a separate division....except for the division set up to find cloned phones, that's why u connect to sprint and not boost mobile...they know u have an EVO, there computer system isn't stupid, but by going through with that call, without realizing it u are admitting to sprint that u have a cloned phone...having a cloned phone is the only way u will get that error, and the only way u will connect to one of those sprint "specialists".....they do help u because there isn't anything else sprint can do about it because it IS NOT illegal, but what they are doing is making a list of accounts that place that phone call for the day they can do something about it....and if u made a call, got an error 16 message, and stayed on the line and talked to a sprint "specialist", then ur phone number (account) is on that list
[EVO 4G General] sdwyz74:
AMEN BROTHER thats the way to do it but what i do is o turn the donor off and then leave the new phone on and i call from another phone and have them refresh the account and leave the evo,evo3depic or epic4gt on as sometimes when they refresh the account and you have the phone off it CHANGES THE aaa SHORT and when you turn the donor on to get the new one it just re-triggers the error! SO I ALWAYS LEAVE THE GOOD PHONE ON DONOR OFF AND CALL FROM ANOTHER PHONE and everytime i tell them my net is really slow and some times my calls drop and they say nothing and then i keep them on the phone asking about INTERNATIONAL PLANS OR SOMETHING TO THROW THEM OFF WHILE I WAIT CAUSE I WILL NOT HANG UP UNTIL the phone makes an OUT GOING CALL WITH NO ERROR 16 AND I LET IT STAY AT LEAST THE 30 SECONDS AND IT'S GOOD EVERY TIME thanks to all

[EVO 4G General] louforgiveno:
Actually I'm pretty sure it's the system detecting root, not clone. Many, many native sprint users had the same issue after rooting, and that's why their so easily able to fix the problem- because sprint users had the issue and they made employees aware of the issue. After all why would they detect a clone and fix it for you? If they detected clone, account terminated period. Your meid/esn tells the network what device you have. Google error 16 and you will find a majority of threads are filled with sprint users not boost users.

[EVO 4G General] Ferox63:
I have searched around and did a ##rtn# reset. did hands free activation, changed back to mm.myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com and changed evdo to cdma only and now have working data, voice, and txt/mms.

But.. The data is terribly slow and when i try to do a profile update error 67 comes back up and i have to power cycle the phone again to get data working again.

On a side note, I remember during the last step of the flashing process when writing the shared pass, and AAA password, when i would tell it to write to phone, i would get an error and the phone wouldn't restart as it did with an earlier evo i flashed. is this a problem?
[EVO 4G General] mkelsho:
After reset...##data#...u need to copy 2 nv items and all info for profile 0 only...after u write profile zero, the phone will restart and u will get an error, that's normal....do not unplug phone or exit service programming until the phone completely reports.....allow hands free activation to go through and u will be all set....remember, never ever turn the donor phone back on....also, if u still have slow data, find a good prl for your area and manually update
[EVO 4G General] Ferox63:
The two nv items for profile 0 being the two items the guide has us save as 465 and 466? So Id have to write those with cdma then open qpst and update prof 0 info then write, leave the phone plugged in untill it's completely restarted and activated?

I have everything working on both evo's currently but the data is slow and the error 67 only reports when trying to update the prl or data profile. so im assuming we have to manually update these for life?

Also, any idea where i should start looking for a local prl? Will i be using a sprint prl?
