Lol nope sorry. All i get is

Spc not found (send spc or 16 SP required?)

over and over. =/. I opened a thread on the Epic 4g Touch forums. Hopefully someone could help me better there. Seems everytime I get the MSL from Logcat now it shows 5 zeros (00000) even though the MSL code is always 6 digits. Anyways the code doesnt work and it won't let me get it either.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuMMoD:
Nope. It accepts the samsung unlock code but refuses to give me the MSL.

Edit: Looks like the unlock feature combined with "Write SPC 000000" was sucessful. Will update in a moment while i try to actually use that new SPC.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuMMoD:
Finally got inside to changing the PRL and found the fastest was 3030 which gave me only 140KB/s but faster than the rest of the roms. Copied all your settings exactly how they were. I managed to get about 20KB more download. Hopefully I can get more out of it but hey at least i finally got the MSL. Located in Miami as well. Thanks a lot for all the help and thank you too mrctony.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrctony:
you're welcome Im glad you got it..

I was just about to suggest you to try your SPC code as the MSL.

I'm helping a friend out, and I'm having an issue acquiring 3G on an EVO 4G LTE. Anyway, I have talk, text, and 1x, but I can't get 3G to work. When I switch to "HDR only" the 3G icon appears for about 10 seconds, but then all data won't connect at all.

I'm using a donor phone and everything appears to be OK. I've also noticed while in "CDMA HDR Only" that it tries to periodically connect to 3G, but then it will immediately switch back to 2G. I have the calculated MSL code in each of the fields where required, and I'm using the 3033 PRL. I'm not sure exactly what's wrong. Do I need to change the SPC unlock code (MSL) to the calculated MSL?

Ok guys I have an EVO 3D flashed over to metro. When It flashed I had 3G they put the settings on there for me. I had it going for about almost 2months I woke up 2days ago. With 1x just thinking I should reset my data...no...I've been on 2G for 3days straight. I go back to the spot where they flash my phone and they act like they never flashed a phone saying. Oh you can't 3G on this phone so just vs when ik what the guy told me when my phone got flashed he hooked me up! does anybody have any clue how I can get my 3G back ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
Your PRL most likely got reset to 02004, Just update to the latest PRL and you will get 3G once again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuMMoD:
Yeah what jd said pretty much. Update to a prl in this thread. Never dial *228 or it'll reset your prl again and phone settings too.

Btw guys 2035 and 3035 don't have any speed increase for me. Running galaxy S2 on metro, pacman Rom, modem FL24, located in Miami,Florida.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuMMoD:
Try 3031,3029,3033,3035. Run speed tests on each and check signal strength (settings - about phone - phone - status) less db is better. -50 is better than -70 for example. That's how I picked and I'm back on 3033 now.

Edit: Checking for DB is the best way to find a PRL that's stronger for your area by the way.

So today my data stopped working completely. My modem is up to date on my phone with the rom version and my CDMA settings are exactly the same as they are in this guide and when my 3g worked. I also have the alternative carrier fix for my phone that enabled the 3g installed and nothing. It just stopped working today out of the blue when yesterday it was working fine. I thought it could be because of the PRL change to 3035 and I went back to 3031 and it's not working either..... I'm in Miami right now and Idk if there is an outage or something. Can you help me out JD?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
Hey,

As you may know I'm located in Miami FL also, 3G is working as usual today.

If you haven't changed any settings it is very strange for you to loose data connection, I would suggest updating your PRL but you have already done that.

I guess maybe try restarting your phone.. What changes have you done to it recently?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuMMoD:
I changed the PRLS and switched roms but it was working fine. It stopped working yesterday completely even though all the changes I've made to my phone before yesterday were unchanged.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
Strange, you sure you don't got data disabled in the phone settings?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuMMoD:
Yeah that's the first thing i checked since some roms disable it or the DS Battery Save app disables it and nothing.....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
I guess you should try updating the PRL once more, then restart the phone.

Really clueless, the only times Data changes is when Metro pushes a old PRL and it drops to 1X...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuMMoD:
Should I do *228 and then redo CDMA settings?

Sent from Tapatalk on my S2.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
Yeah try that, although *228 is usually unsuccessful on flashed phones.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuMMoD:
I reinstalled everything from scratch i even flashed a stock rooted rom and did the *228 trick which flashed a PRL to my phone and nothing! Wtfff
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
Try updating the PRL manually using DFS Tool.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuMMoD:
Ok just to make I'm putting the CDMA settings again and i noticed it says 7 digit number. So lets say i have 7861234567 what number do i input? 1234567 or the whole number?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
Its 10 digit phone number, sorry I thought I had fixed that.

Don't change your IMSI just work on the Data settings.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuMMoD:
Yeah all my settings are perfectly fine and I flashed 3 other PRLs and switched around on 2 stock rooted roms and 3 custom roms. How strange......... If you get any word of data being out for metro please let me know. Thanks JD.

Edit: I'm getting this error when i update the CDMA settings. My SPC/MSL is 000000 so i don't know why it's giving me this error.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
Press SPC so that it will unlock.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuMMoD:
Well all the settings are correct this is weird. Hopefully I can get more detailed help in my device forum.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuMMoD:
Hey JD 2 Questions. For the HA and AAA keys. Is it my new MSL/SPC that i edited to be 000000? Also how do i make a backup of all my CDMA settings using the DFS tool? I'm going to reset everything completely and I want to make sure I have a backup before I do so. Thanks

HA Shared Secret: ****** (MetroPCS MSL Code)

AAA Shared Secret: ****** (MetroPCS MSL Code)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrctony:
You can use "metropcs" or your "msl code" for the "HA and AAA shared secret"...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
^+1 one that,

And to save your setting just take screenshots of every tab, that's what I usually do.

Service is great and the lte is all T-Mobile super fast!

Edit: Buy the sim card online and activate it through the phone so you don't pay 15$ at the store. Use the IMEI from the phone's box don't use MEID cause it wont be activated. This guy stays in Miami as well as us.

Hey savalasurge,

Welcome to the XDA community, and welcome to this thread.

If your getting 3G in certain areas but not in others its due to MetroPCS 3G coverage.

My suggestion would be to try different PRL's. Theres a whole list of PRLs you can download in the OP. Try them out and let me know how it goes.
