I've been flashing phones to Metro for over a year now and I'm having quite a bit of trouble getting 3G to work on my E4GT on Boost.. Anybody care to share any info that might actually help? I'd like to hear more about this "new password" or something or other. I'll share some things for others reading through here.

First off, getting the phone into diag mode, go to the dialer and dial ##8778#, then choose ALL.

If you still can't connect in cmda ws, go into device manager and look for anything that says it needs a driver or unknown device, install the diag drivers. You may also need to unplug the phone and plug it back in, or try another usb port.

Once you see the ports, you will want to connect to Samsung Mobile Modem Diagnostic Serial Port (WDM).

Next, the 16 digit password in the security section for the E4GT is the same as the original Epic, it's 01F2030F5F678FF9 and when you use it you will not only unlock the phone, but get your spc and have the ability to change it if you choose.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] farkedup:
did you verify you have the right AAA passoword like on the epic guide? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=891077

MANY times the phone wont give you the correct pass unless you do those steps.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
should be no issues getting any prepaid plans going on E4GT as long as you program it correctly. i'd also maybe flash an older modem for while you're doing the rewriting. use a newer modem after youre all done.

I personally use my E4GT on Republic Wireless and Verizon.. so I know it works ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] itsjefflol:
Yes the AAA is correct, I'm having no sign in errors. I did a profile update and got it working but the speeds are still very slow.. I've personally seen as high as 1mbps on Metro, I figured boost would be better than this.. Anything else I should try?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
if an-aaa shows as "pass" in ##debug# then thats about all u can do. you can remove the sprint multimedia proxy info and stuff in ##data# but thats about it.

if an-aaa passes then you are authenticated and getting the available 3g.

try forcing roaming with roam control or flashing another prl perhaps.. just to see if speeds improve.. that way youll know if its just sprint towers or not. for example.. flash the 9999 prl i made http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21674240&postcount=400

its a verizon prl but edited so it wont show as roaming. basically.. its going to force your phone to roam and use verizon towers. during this time.. do you still have 3g? does an-aaa still show as 'pass'? are the verizon towers giving you better speeds? if so then it's confirmed... sprint/boost is really just that slow. flash backa sprint prl and try to make the best of it. hopefully youre in a 4g area and get that going ;)

I have a SGS2 in Boost as well... same issue as above, very slow speeds. I used a TP2 as a donor but something is not right. Speedtest shows low 100kbps.

I checked NV items on the SGS2 but a couple show access denied. Something is clearly wrong. I think it has to do with the HA and AAA keys from the TP2. I think I have them correct in hex but they are not sticking when I type them in and click ok. Any help would be appreciated.

Lastly, should I connect with CP or ALL? I have seen conflicting answers...

Boost mobile samsung epic 4g

Hey, everyone. This is my first post so I apologize beforehand for the lack of knowledge on the subject. I have a flashed Samsung Epic to Boost mobile and everything works flawlessly except the internet. The internet does work, but it's very spotty. I understand the 4g doesnt work at all and I don't mind. it's the 3g that barely works. It's on and off. I know it's not the area because my friend has Boost also and her reception is great while mine sucks ass. Where do I even start to resolve this issue. any help is appreciated. thanks.

requestnvitemread ds_mip_ss_user_prof

^ This is where I'm stuck. It's probably because I ignored that the tutorial requires an Incognito (I bought a Samsung Transform Ultra). SPC is correct but it grants me no further access (dumping NV gives me a txt full of thousands of "access denied" messages, even after I send the SPC).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
You could just manually write the AAA & HA keys. That does the same as writing the NV items. Search around the forums for how to read the AAA keys. The HA key should be the same for all boost phones which is 123464454578 or 4dEEx (hex vs string). But I would double check to make sure thats what your donor phones says.

How can you flash a verizon prl on Boost? Can you run this 9999 prl all the time and use Verizon towers?

Also, what does removing the "sprint multimedia proxy info and stuff in ##data#" do? What exactly needs to be removed and why would it help?

The reason I ask is I have a Epic touch on Boost that has good 3g at home but crappy at work. Verizon is better at work but I can't see how I have any chance of using Verizon towers all day at work?

Lastly I have prl 61007, would flashing to 60681 or 11115 help? Looking for a solution here. My TP2 (donor) was better than this at work. Frustrated.

Also heard switching the modem can help?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
As far as I know u can't use a Verizon prl on boost as boost does not allow roaming. It may connect but it will most likely ask u to buy a pass or similar.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mschmidt33:
That's what I thought... wonder if there are hacked prl's out there that Boost and VZW would not know about. I doubt it, also not legal.

Can you answer any of my other questions? Trying to improve my 3g at work. It is not as good as my TP2 was and is frustrating. Anything to help is appreciated.

1) What does removing the "sprint multimedia proxy info and stuff in ##data#" do? What exactly needs to be removed and why would it help?

2) I have prl 61007, would flashing to 60681 or 11115 help?

I am getting ready for boost and ordered a incog should come in Tueday, one question....

Do I activate the incog with boost first then have sprint port my number to boost and cancel my account with sprint. After the incog has my number ported then I start with the xfer of info to the Touch since now it is deactivated by following the posted instructions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Get everything set up on boost on the incognito. So yes you are going to want to port your number and make sure everything is working on the incognito first because essentially what you will be doing is transfering the incognito identity to the epic touch (or whatever phone you plan on swapping).

How do you do the flash?

Can Someone PLEASE post how to do the sprint to boost mobile flash w. VOICE/DATA/SMS/MMS (the usual functions working)

My Epic 4g is rooted and everything but i accidently messed up the data profile messing with the ##DATA# setting and by doing that it took off my Boost mobile flash so now Sprint is asking me to finish activating my phone but its not detecting a sprint activation(etc. etc.) seeing as though I paid my boost phone bill 2 days ago and I REFUSE to take it to another phone store and have them charge me $100 for the flash (highway robbery!)

BTW I am a n00b but I do get the basics and some of the more advanced things but not quite

Also is there a way that i could hack into the 4G network with it being fully functional?

Copy a friends mac address down and enter it on your phone as your own.... there was a 4g mac address thread here awhile back that explained exactly what to do, provided that you have a legit 4g mac address..... every sprint 4g device has one.... and as long as the 4g mac address is on an active line, multiple people can use it without being detected.

I have considered boost mobile over and over again. I keep going back and forth on it. I'm enticed by the pricing, but any review I read about the service is bad! People talk about how they don't do their billing properly, that you must call and spend hours on the phone to get your bill correct, etc. Then I also read that the cell service is just as bad as sprint...

Sprint customer service isn't the greatest, but I feel like sometimes I'm able to get my point across and would like to not spend hours talking to a representative if it's avoidable (ie boost mobile)

what bill bro is prepaid 50 bucks that all
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unknown Zone:
i was in your shoes also thinking back and forth a couple of months ago, IF and i say IF you can do without roaming or it does not play a big role in your cell life then go for it. I get the same phone service plan I had with sprint 4g and all for half the price 50 and in two more months it is going down to 45 unlimited everything.

Now about the coverage, it is sprint coverage so what ever sprint has, boost has cause it is the same towers period. I always keep saying boost is sprint little brother that is all it is without roaming

About billing, the first cycle you have to pay close attention to make sure everything goes smooth with auto pay if you go that route. For me my first billing cycle was a pita but i expected it since I have a hacked ET on boost once my first autopay was straighten out with cust service it has been smooth sailing.

Dont worry about leaving sprint I was a 13 yr vet it was hard at first but now that I think about it I am glad I left and saving.

Call Boost Mobile for Help

After 14 hours of learning, consistent signal drops, no voice/sms and 3G attempts, I have successfully flashed my Sprint Galaxy S3 to Boost Mobile using CDMA Workshop 2.7 (obviously pirated) and QXDM. I was able to change the ESN with QXDM and CDMA Workshop did a great job of enabling 3G. The ONE problem I had was with QPST. It appears that once your phone says it's "activated," QPST could no longer read it again. Also none of the settings that I originally applied when QPST did read the phone worked. I was NOT able to get voice and SMS on my phone without the help of Boost Mobile customer support, but since I was able to get 3G (Rev:A) internet working, I knew that I did something right.

Yes, I called Boost and had them provision my phone since QPST didn't work for me. and I didn't want to learn (or buy) DFS. 4.0.0.4.

The way to get 3G is to be SURE to factory reset your phone prior to writing any new NV's or data profiles. This method works even if your phone has been previously activated. After your 3G is on, simply call Boost and tell them you don't know what happened to your "Incognito," they'll go through some troubleshooting and then they will eventually provision your phone and get voice and sms working.

Not sure if this will work for everyone, but I just wanted to share since I did this about 12 hours ago and and also did the exact same thing with my EVO 4G when I flashed it a couple of years back, so I could confirm that works.

I hope this helps someone who is frustrated at not getting any voice/sms but has their data working.

Oh and I could also confirm that you can use 3G internet while talking on the phone when your phone is properly flashed and provisioned. :D

this is what I used to piggyback to sprint 4g wimax when I had my ET4 on boost. I had 3g incognito donor files but had the 4g wimax hack

you need a active sprint ET4 4g wimax mac as a donor( it might work with another sprint phone 4g wimax mac), try to get someone who lives far away cause you dont want to be on the same tower, i had a friend that lived in another state as a donor

Ok thanks, i still have the stock rom, not rooted, will this guide work? Or will i have to change the rom and root? I was thinking of buying a boost 4g phone and activating it on my account then using it for my incognito and also pulling the 4g settings off of it for the e4gt. its only going to cost me 5 more a month for 4g, cuz im down to 35 for unlimited.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unknown Zone:
Well my ET4 was rooted stock EL29 (GB) it has been awhile so I cannot say but the hack worked for me. It should work it just needs to be a active 4g wimax mac as a donor, do you have a friend/family..etc....with a sprint ET4/Epic/EVO 4g...instead of buying a phone to activate just for 4g access.. Lucky you I am just hitting my 40 mark next month.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] whitmerray:
Im on ICS. So basically all i need to change is the 4g mac and realm? Are there any passwords, like with 3g? Does your e4gt have the ability to ota? Mine wont at all , i get the error : client authentication, but everything else works perfect. Everyone i know has a iphone on att, they are all missing out on android, so just gonna buy a bad esn 4g boost phone. How badass is the note 2? I just got a asus infinity pad, but that note2 looks awesome.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unknown Zone:
That is correct, just change the 4g mac and realm and that is it, no password needed..etc. Again I used an ET4 4g mac just to avoid any issues since I was using the same type/model phone. I got the N2 cause my eyes are getting to the point things need to be big to read... :laugh: the size is really not that bad , but one thing I can say is that the battery life is just awesome can easy and I do mean easy do a day and then some with normal/heavy use. When I unplug in the morning I don't even think about dieing at some point during the day it is that good. Now if there was a LTE hack that would be even better ;)

On my ET4 everything worked ota...etc. even my GF S3 got an ota and she is also on boost. After you load the donor NV files and change the MEID just do a ##786# reset the phone, then call boost and tell them you reset the (donor phone) cause you were having issue with data and you lost all your settings and need to reactivate, and they will reprogram ##MSL#/reactivate the phone.....reboot, then have you update the prl/profile and that should do it.

Good Luck :good:

"one click" are great and easy....just download extract if needed....click the "exe", put the phone in download mode, then connect to the pc when one click see the port then click "start" and let it do its thing.

download/flash mode= with the phone off hold the vol down and pwr at the same time and follow the instruction.

if you do the "tar" it goes in the "pda" slot of odin.
