Hello everyone,

I bought a Epic 4g flashed to Boost mobile around may 2011 and everything worked perfectly up until early july when i i started having problems with my texts messages being received late and some of my calls not coming in. Messages come in hours late sometimes and its mostly when im using my phones internet but when i am home using WIFI texts are perfect and everything comes in at the right time. if i can get any help i would really appreciate it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fufurufuu:
Is it safe to update to 4.0.4 with a flashed ep4gt? Just received an alert for the system update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Yeah should be fine. There is an ff20 build in the dev section, which is the software for the boost mobile e4gt. Might be worth looking at.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fufurufuu:
Has anyone updated with no problems?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rigel1326:
Yeah I'm running the ff20 boost build with agat's v4 custom recovery. Runs better then ff18.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unknown Zone:
I bought an extra ET4 with a bad ESN from eBay. I loaded the fg20 just to see how it looked and I was pretty amazed on how smooth it was to my tricked out el29.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DaKlown:
If you are having 3g issues you probably didn't port over you HA and AAA secret codes. To double check this you can try to do a profile update. If it says incorrect password then you botched the keys somehow. Funny thing is that on the evo you can just rewrite the msl from the donor phone to the evo and during a profile update your keys can be fixed even though the person in the video says something about not being able to be done over the air on cdma 2.7. I haven't been able to do this on an e4gt but I've done it at least 30+ times on evos I've "repaired". I dont have any phones with bad keys to play around with to come up with a workaround. Just had one I was trying to fix for a friend. The best I came up with in such a short time was is forcing a hands free activation and it seems like you are assigned some generic keys that allow for 1x internet speeds. I know that sucks but it's a start. Be careful with forcing the activation though. If you have good keys I wouldn't use #786 because you will have to re-enter them since they are reset to what was on the phone from the manufacturer. Too many resets might get voice/sms blocked with an error 12 or error 16 forcing you to have to get a boost rep to reset the account. You won't be able to dial out until you do so...

Have u try to go into u Mobil network and check if ur 3g network is check ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rigel1326:
My 3g works but super slow. When I go to update profile it error 67 and doesn't update. Should I call boost? Can they force the profile update?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] insanedeath44:
Try to change ur modem .. make a backup of ur rom then flash el29 modem. Do a prl update if it works then restor u rom.. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DaKlown:
check my post a couple up from yours. It explains what your issue is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cphsic:
I updated and have flashed a few different roms with no problems to my E4GT on Boost
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dongatta:
What profile should the evo run on 0 or 1?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rigel1326:
Yea I read your post I read all the posts. I get 3g connectivity. I know my keys are correct. I have checked double checked et al. I get that the first two numbers are not applied.

Update: Got it! Had a transposed number. Updated profile and have WAY better 3G speeds. Thank you to all giving advice and support.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DaKlown:
0 For the Evo if i'm not mistaken...

If you try to upfate your profile and you get the error message about invalid password then your keys are incorrect. Is your 3g currently extremely slow? Flash a rom that shows true connection or flash a mod that does it and i'll bet anything you are connected at 1x. There is a dialer code that will show you what you are connected at. I think its ##INFO but something goes after the info, Just search samsung dialer codes and you should find it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Carfanatic:
I have had my ET4G on Boost for almost a year now with no troubles other than Voicemail.....

I never get any notifications about when I have one I just have to actually call it to check to see if I have missed any from time to time.

I am running Blazer Rom 4.1 atm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dongatta:
Find the voicemail notify apk. It will notify you of new voicemails. That's what I put on all of my phones
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Carfanatic:
Is this voicemail notify on the app store or download it from here somewhere or what for sure?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dongatta:
It used to be in the app store but not sure now. Search xda for voicemail notify
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Carfanatic:
I found Extorian voicemail notifier that someone linked on here it seems to work on my other E4GII I am installing Blazer ICS on my main phone any idea if I will need to use something like this on a ICS rom too?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dongatta:
Yes to my knowledge you will have to use it on an ics Rom. There were only a couple roms I have used that stock voicemail worked
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] harley1rocker:
Theres alotta stuff that goes along with this. I should b able to do it tho. Im rooted,running the blu kuban ics. My epictouch is not activ,hell i cant afford it anymore. I dont wanna giv up my e4gt. In the 1st post it says to DL the things in the link. Wen u clik on it,theres 5 other DLs. Do those need DL? I DL the usb drivers. And cdma workshop,were is that at? Is there somone willing to walk a retard such as myself thru this debacle?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ijoshv2:
If you can't figure it out this far, you just might want to get yourself a major geek to do it for you.. no offense, this had me stumped a few times too and I'm pretty high on the geek charts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j7jman:
Im definitely late on this.. but just in case anyone has the same issue again I'm pretty sure that if you use the app GoSms you can manually input apn settings. This is especially helpful just in case you're on a CM rom that doesn't support apn modification.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rigel1326:
To get working mms you need to go to phone ##3282# then edit enter your mls code goto others then mmsc url and enter mm. myboostmobile.com

Does anyone know why I keep getting an error 104 code? If I update profile it goes away. Still it keeps coming back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dwayneiztheshyt:
Stupid questions :o

Ive been lurking the forums for a while now and i have a couple questions, they may seem dumb but bear with me. I don't want to buy a donor phone to not be able to use my e4gt.

1. Which donor phone will I need, could I use any phone?

2. A women in the boost mobile store said she could flash my phone for 160$, should I go that route or do it myself. Itll be about 110 dollars for the donor phone and the first months plan.

3. I see that this thread is pretty old and the woman told me I could do it myself, would I be able to still use this method if I were to flash my phone tomorrow?

I thought CM didnt support hidden menu codes or apn changes. and if anyone needs to know what the error codes for boost/Sprint you can find them HERE
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eljean:
CM doesn't support it. You can change it with APN Manager or APN Backup and Restore or in the ROM itself. I forgot the location I think it's \system\etc
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j7jman:
thanks now i know for future reference.

eljean, Did they delete that new guide you posted? I tried to check up on it and I think it was deleted or moved...

Here's a guide I made using some of eljan's methods.. thanks man.. and a few other's I found throughout the web over the past few years. Ive successfully flashed an HTC evo 4g, Epic 4g, and this phone I have now, so I might be able to help with common issues. The LINK

Yeah they did. Careful though he's saying you could get banned for that -.-

Damn really... Do you think i could get banned for referring someone to another site that could help them out? I'm definitely not trying to get banned after being a member for about 5 years :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tmb04:
Hi I just recently bought an Epic 4g touch with a bad esn. I just bought an incognito today as well. I'm currently using a different boost phone. If I wanted to keep using my same boost mobile account that i've been using for years, Can I transfer my data over to the incognito FIRST, before I start this whole process? That way when I do flash the epic It will work with my old account.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] youngchris29:
Yes. That's exactly what you need to do
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tmb04:
Hi I'm having problems successfully installing the Sanyo incognito drivers. I keep getting an error " SANYO USB Modem SY06 Software was not installed successfully (7) "

Does anyone know the reason im getting this error?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j7jman:
Did you try restarting your PC? And when you plug in your incognito they'd going to be a notification that comes up on your phone screen.. ignore it and don't select anything on your incognito. Hopefully that might help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tmb04:
Thank you that actually did work!

Okay I followed the guide completely. Did everything required. I got it working now. I just cant get 3g to work. I got a couple incoming texts when i turned my epic on. But I can't receive them. I could also make phone calls when I first got it working. But now when I try to call someone it says "Your Authentication code could not be verified please call customer services."
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j7jman:
Cool man glad to hear you got this far at least. As for the authentication code message sometimes you'll have to stay on the line and an operator will come on. If that happens all you have to do is give then your account pin (the one you use to sign in your online account).

If that doesn't work there might be another way. (it worked for me at least) try logging on to your online account and clicking in the upgrade handset menu. You should see a section to the bottom right that says to input the meid of your new handset. Copy and paste your current meid there, it can be found in the upper right hand corner. Change the last digit of your meid you pasted and hit next or continue, whatever it says. It should display a guide on how to activate your "new" handset, just ignore it. Now, what you have to do is repeat these steps after about 2 minutes but instead enter your ACTUAL meid. I think it simulates some kind of "reset" or something. Whatever it does, it worked for me :D.

Im on my phone right now and I have one more option just in case, but I have to wait until I get home because there's a doo doo load of steps. :silly:

Oh btw a few quick questions..

1. What error code(s) are you receiving?

2. Did you enter your HA and AAA passwords using QPST?

3. Did you update your data profile on your incognito before doing anything?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tmb04:
Okay i'll explain it more specifically. I wasn't following the topics' guide but This guide instead. When I had finished, Only outgoing calls worked on my epic. Then it stopped. Then suddenly my incognito starts receiving text messages but so does epic, both identical. My incognito could reply back to them and my epic could not. Then both phones stopped working altogether. When I try to make a call originally a voice said "Your Authentication code could not be verified please call customer services." That was last nite. Today it says " Your account could not be validated, please contact customer services" It'll even ring a few times.. So that's where I was at. Identical esn's and meid's.

To answer your questions though,

1. I did not receive any error codes

2. No I never did do that part since it wasn't instructed in the guide I was using.

3. Not sure if it was updated, as I bought it 3 days ago and activated my account on it immediately then started this whole process. But no I never specifically updated the data profile myself.

I have no clue what do at this point. I did have both phones back on. But I thought I could fix this problem myself. So I started following This specific guide. Did everything I was supposed to with the Incognito. I'm at the part with my epic now. I'm kinda stuck, as both phone are now basically identical, so how do I proceed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j7jman:
I understand.. I just sent you a PM, check your inbox. I'm working on a guide that will also address issues and hopefully be a lot more understandable.

DONT GIVE UP!! haha :eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j7jman:
NEW Complete GUIDE..

I made another Guide thanks to eljean and another few heads on here. It's basically a collaboration of different tutorials put in understandable words, it took me about 5 hours to complete so I hope you guys can make good use of it. There are two methods of getting 3g data to work. The good old NV item method and the more trusty HA and AAA password method.. I recommend using both. duhh! haha

Honestly it's not short but some steps are explained more. This is so the user can understand what they're about to do besides going in blind and wondering why the hell a specific step is necessary. If there's anything anyone thinks I should ad to it, or if somethings missing, questions.. whatever the case be hit me up and ask me. Nothing's ever perfect, but with all of us working together we can make this guide close to it. Hope you's enjoy.. later :cool:

Thanks again Leviuqse, eljean, and ebuechler3 yous def helped cram these steps into my head, making this guide possible.

HERE'S the guide!

has anyone had any problems sending mms on a ff18 base rom, namely re-calk. can receive but cant send even though its marked as sent?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j7jman:
Yeah, I'm actually trying to figure that issue out now.. But mine us the other way around. It says sent but it never sends, and I can't receive. I'm on stock rooted ff18 ROM.. I tried changing the MMSC url but it doesn't work.

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 PM ----------

Actually I just found a fix... It requires downloading the GoSms Pro app in the market. When its done installing go to the settings menu, tap "advanced" up at the top. Scroll down to where it says MMS settings then check the box next to where it says fill Apn manually. Then enter http://mm.myboostmobile.com where it says MMSC url.

3g refuses to work

Ive been up all night re checking and going over the steps but I cant get 3g to work on my phone, I have no idea why. Ive re done the steps in the j7s guide over and over but nothing has worked. Yes ive used the search button but it still gives me no results. Is there anyone who might have an idea as to whats wrong? When I try to call out it says error 16 or something along the lines of that,I'm so frustrated and I just really need to get this done. Now I can't even find the option to activate the phone.. :/ I thought I followed the directions perfectly..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j7jman:
When you get the error 16 did it give you an option to stay on the line and wait fir an operator? If so you need to give them your account pin so they can allow you to use the phone.

If you go to settings and scroll down to activate phone you'll see you can activate it there, although it may not work.

Another thing you may have to do as a last resort is turn you epic off and turn your incognito back on and call boost. Tell them your 3g isn't working and they'll help you refresh your data profile. The thing is, your ha and aaa passwords might have changed. so you might have to update or sometimes reactivate your phone by calling boost. Then redo the ha and aaa password retrieval and the Cdma Workshop steps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dwayneiztheshyt:
okay thanks for your reply, ill try again after i get off work and let you know how it goes. And no, when I make calls it says "Error 16, switch to 3 7" then ends call. If I already made calls before I started the process do i still need to give them my account pin? and to who exactly do I give it to and how. Ill start from the beginning and try again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j7jman:
Yeah try starting again, but this time update your Incognito's data profile, You might have to call boost so they can walk you through how to do that. Sometimes when people get an error 16 they get transferred to n operator and they ask you your pin number to verify that it's your Incognito you're using and not some guy whole "cloned" your phone.. btw never have both phones on at once and never tell boost your using an epic 4g touch, always say Incognito if they ask. good luck man
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tonyec7:
could this work with a lg rumor reflex for boost?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dwayneiztheshyt:
Okay so now after I tried everything again, it still won't connect to 3g. I even called boost and had them update my profile but now.. for some reason when I try to make calls it ask me if I want to make a collect call or something... so i guess thats progess.. also It hasnt tried to activate the phone and I still cant find a way to manually do it.. what am i doing wrong? is it the rom im using? also when I tried to save my incognito data it said I needed to enter at least 6 digits so i added a 0 to the 5. Please help :/

Im also not getting the error 16 message anymore. My ROM is calks 3.0 and my modem is EL29

EDIT:

after attemping to try and find a solution to the problem im having, i tried using a different guide but that didnt work out either, now after attemping to do your guide again because I thought that maybe I entered O instead of 0 which im pretty sure I did, I cant get pass step 4 because now it says the password is wrong.. Please don't tell me im **** out of luck :/

EDIT 2: I got the 3g symbol to come up! SUCCESSSS!! But now when I make calls.. it says "Error 16" but the 3g is working so i can access the internet I just cant make calls also I still don't see how to activate the phone so I went into settings and updated the profile.

EDIT 3: 100% Success! Phone is working! I just stayed on the line and the boost rep got my phone working. Thanks a lot :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j7jman:
You dont understand how happy I am for you man, Congrats. Sorry it took me a while to respond, I had a really busy weekend. That's how it is with flashing phones yourself, It might take a few times, and a couple headaches. What did the boost representative do to get your phone working?

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------

I'm not sure I've never heard of someone flashing that phone to boost.. try searching Google to see if its possible to extract the required data from that phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dwayneiztheshyt:
She just asked me a couple questions about my account then she reset my phone or something. I just had to turn it off and turn it back on but after i completed everything, for some reason I can't put files on my phone from my computer anymore. USB debugging mode is unticked and everything but it wont attach to the computer like its supposed to.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j7jman:
Ok cool, I think I know whats up dial ##8778# and put your phone back on "AP". Hopefully that will work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dwayneiztheshyt:
Yeah man that was the problem, thanks a bunch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j7jman:
No problem, any time :good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dwayneiztheshyt:
Another Problem

While trying to using odin on my phone because I bricked it, I went back to el29 and now the 3g is gone, phone still works but 3g is gone now, what do i do to fix it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j7jman:
you probably have to use qpsd again and insert your ha and aaa passwords. and possibly even all the information you inserted using that program. mybad about the late reply I just started classes so I've been a bit busy.

I updated the guide recommending not doing that.. it must have slipped my mind. It was an instruction I got when flashing my old Epic 4g to Boost, I guess the same rule applies here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dwayneiztheshyt:
Okay I actually didn't have to do that, I managed to actually get everything working and the jelly bean ROM on here working perfectly. I asked because 3g disappeared for a little while, I flashed a new rom and it started working fine so I'm pretty happy about that. Hopefully people can use all of my problems as a reference and get things done
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mschmidt33:
So my phone has been working great on EL29 with Boost. No issues with apps, 3G, mms. Then I decided to accept the OTA to ICS. I want to go back due to battery life, no mms (spotty recieve and send), and Foxfi does not work with ICS.

Got ready for Odin but cannot connect my phone to my PC anymore? Perhaps my port is fried? Tried two different cords and PC's?

I coudl live with poor battery life and wait for Foxfi to update but cannot live without mms. Thus, if anyone knows of an mms fix, let me know. Changing the mm.myboostmobile did not do it.

Mike
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j7jman:
-As for an mms fix are you willing to use go sms as a messenger app? If so then you can modify apn settings in the go sms settings menu.

-Does your phone charge at all? Because if it does then it's probably not your usb port. Maybe there was something wrong with the update, or maybe you can try dialing ##8778# and seeing if the setting is on "AP".. other than that I don't know whats wrong unless there's other issues with the update itself. maybe you can also try another rom and see if that works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mschmidt33:
Yes, I will use Go SMS if it means I can mms! Where can I get the correct settings for Boost, ICS OTA stock? I assume I can sms on the stock app then just switch over as needed for mms? Wonder if they will work at the same time? Perhaps Go sms is all I need.

Yes, the phone charges, I will try the AP setting but it seems like since ICS it just can't be seen anymore... The update is fine I assume, I did a factory reset as well after. I don't think I can put a rom on it if I can't connect to pc???

Lets try Go SMS for now... Thanks for your help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rast4man:
My girlfriend and I broke up and we were on a Sprint family plan. I took care of the charges and want to flash my E4GT to Boost but I don't have a donor phone. What can I do in this case? All my phones are Sprint (Hero, Diamond, Touch Pro 2 and the Epic 4g). I bought a few burner phones from Net10, do I need a Boost burner phone to use as a donor?

Any help is appreciated as I want to activate this ASAP. So do I need a donor phone? Any way around not having one?

Regards,

rast4man
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dwayneiztheshyt:
No you'll need a donor phone for sure, do what I did, go on ebay and buy a used incignito from boost mobile and use that, itll cost you around 90 dollars total including phone activation.

ALSO, I see the epic 4g on the boost website! Is there any news on getting 4g to work?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dongatta:
Boost now sells the epic touch 4g so no need to flash
