ah yes, there is a voicemail apk thats available but kinda annoying, as it goes off sometimes on every phone call lol, I used it for about a week then uninstalled it lol, and just check voicemail as usual, pressing number 1. lemme find that apk <--- ok found it, lookl down below should be attached...

---------- Post added at 04:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 AM ----------

Actually try using it, set it up as you do normally, press and hold number one.

I just updated sprint visual voicemail and its working fine, I had the icon bugging me to update in the status bar, but kept clearing it out, so just decided to go with update so it can fail and I can undo it, but it didnt fail lol.

I think if I remember correctly, the sprint visual voicemail wouldn't work on the HTC EVO 4G (one I had before), but it seems to be working on the Samsung E4GT. The current version is T.5.3.4.18

Althought.....I am not rooted, so maybe it wont work with a rooted phone lol, forgot about that tooo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
You're right that little app is pretty annoying. Are you on a boost rom?

I think I'm going to have to try getting the stock vvm app working on a sprint rom because I use my phone for work and its important not to miss any messages.

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------

Update: Got voicemail notifications working!

Uninstalled voicemail system app with Titanium Backup and now I recieve notifications for new voicemails and it dials voicemail to retrieve with the native voicemail feature.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gellybelly:
I am using a stock sprint rom, I did have it rooted but in upgrades it lost root, and since I was having so much trouble with downgrades and upgrades of flashes I decided just to leave it as is lol.

Thats great that you got it working. was it the stock VM system app? whats it using in its place, the annoying app? lol

My next project is 4G, I've read that you can get it from using someone elses mac addy but I dont have one, BUT I do have an evo design 4g from boostmobile, and will be switching handsets and using that as a donor.

see what happens
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
With visual voicemail gone, I now get a voicemail notification icon (and sound notification to go with it) on the statusbar and when I select it from the pulldown, it automatically dials voicemail for me. So that is why I said it was native voicemail. Kind of the old school way of getting voicemail without the app I guess. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gellybelly:
Oh yea mine the same way, i get the icon for voicemail, but pulling down status bar doesnt dial, i have to click the icon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yes, I have to select it too. It's still better than having nothing at all and I'm really not too excited about using Google Voice for my business voicemails. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gellybelly:
LMAO yeah never got used to google voice, so it got shelved lol

Sph-d710 donor phone?

What phones can you use as a donor for the sprint galaxy s2? I'm trying to use the ESN and settings from my SCH-R570M to flash to the Galaxy s2. I've been following the guide and everything goes well until I'm supposed to copy and save the donor settings. In QPST the CDMA, CMDA2, PPP, etc. tabs do not exist... I don't think I did anything wrong as the SCH-R570M is properly connected through a COM. So is this just a phone that I can't use for this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dana_p:
Seems this thread has become a little old, but I'll ask anyways :)

I had a friend give me an Boost Mobile LG Marquee. I set up a Boost account and everything works fine. I would like to flash my Sprint S2 over to Boost. Will the Marquee work as a donor phone?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
It depends on if you can read all of the information from the Marquee that you will need to do the porting. If any part of it fails to read what it needs, it probably won't work unless there is some additional information specific to that model that you can find somewhere.

Just an FYI, you must be on windows XP for one of the programs to work properly. I think it was QXDM but I can't remember exactly.

Edit: In other words, go through the first part of the tutorial and see if you can get what you need off of the Marquee.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dana_p:
Thanks!! Fortunately, my desktop is still using XP so I'll give it a try! I appreciate your reply, thank you! :good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dana_p:
Ok, fellow members. I am at my wit's end on this one. While I'm quite proficient with computers, software, troubleshooting, rooting, ROMs, etc., after 8 hours of reading this has me baffled.

An issue was mentioned in an earlier post and a reply was the initial poster was doing something wrong, but there was no advice on how to correct the issue. Since I am having the same problem, I must be doing something wrong as well.

I am *attempting* to use the LG Marquee as my donor phone. Boost account is set up and Marquee works fine. I'm trying to flash my E4GT to Boost. I have downloaded and installed the software required in the OP, including the drivers for the Marquee on BOTH my computers - one is running Win 7 64bit and the other is XP. Neither computer will recognize either phone as a COM port. I plug each one into both computers and they will read the phones as storage devices. They do not show up on either computer as modems. QPST doesn't recognize either of them as well. So I can't even past this point. I do know the MSL of the Marquee, but that doesn't do anything for me because the computers can't see the phone.

Now, if someone is willing to help me, I have NO PROBLEM donating money or paying an acceptable fee for this service. I hope this wonderful community can help a gal figure this out :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
You have to change the mode of the E4GT, I'm not sure about the Marquee but the same may apply.

On the E4GT the secret dialer code is probably ##3424#, you may need your MSL for this and you have to change the mode from AP to CP I believe like in this tutorial for how to manually change your PRL the method is similar to get to that menu (menu is just checkboxes really):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1267893

Make sure you note the setting before you change it and don't forget to change it back when you're done because you won't be able to dial out (or no data, I forget).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dana_p:
Thank you for your help!!

I was able to change the mode from AP to CP on the E4GT, without needing my MSL. But when I use the same dialer code on the Marquee, it does nothing.

Trying to take this step by step, so I write everything down.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I did a Google search for 'Marquee QPST' and see a number of Marquee's getting ported to other providers. Spend some time and look through some of those and maybe you will find the clue on how to get QPST working with that phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dana_p:
I have been at this for over 10 hours. I quit for the evening, but I will definitely do what you suggested and give my results. I just want my E4GT back!!!!! LOL

Kyocera Milano

Good Morning All,

Been trying to use a Kyocera Milano as my donor phone but when i use CDMA v3.9.0 to read the phone after I connect it says failed, device does not answer. Its doing it in DM mode if that helps. Things been bugging me all night. I can get an Incognito but was looking to use Milano since its already been activated through Boost. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dana_p:
UGH!!! I was able FINALLY able to get CDMA to read both phones, but when I attempt reading the Marquee memory part, I get a few messages that say "phone is off" or something about functioning. The video says I may have to do this multiple times, but after three days I'm ready to give up!!

Every time I get past a problem, another one pops up. :( I miss my SII - looks like I may have to pay to get this done.

need some help

hey i got a sprint samsung galaxy s2 epic trying to flash it to boost but the drivers i get its for a sph-d700 i have a d710 and i cant get it to install the com please help thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] azteccrew5:
Not sure if you still need assistance with this but very easy fix I have found after many frustrating hours just as you. Error #16 and the SIM data error are 2 different problems.

*Error #16 operator recording happens when both the donor phone (in my case the Incognito) & the actual phone (my S4) are turned on at the same time or too far apart (always power on the other seconds after the other is powered off). It triggers a restriction on the account until a Sprint Rep can verify your handset device **always give the donor phone info** (a customer of mine told the Rep he used a Note 2. Well Hellllloooo, Boost doesn't offer the Note 2 so his account was flagged until I unlocked it). Sometimes it happens periodically out of the blue even though the donor phone has not been turned on. In this case just hang up and dial again then the call should go through. However, when error #16 operator recording does not go away you will need to stay on the phone until a Boost Mobile/Sprint Tier 2 Tech Support rep comes on the line to verify your handset device.... AGAIN **always give the donor phone info**. But be careful, too many "real" error #16s and your account will be throttled (it happened to me last year and internet was crap for 3 months). Of course, you can always go to their website, access your account and swap a different handset then swap back and the error will go away without speaking to a Rep but you will need to retrieve the new AAA key for Profile 1 (it changes every time you swap a phone)

*Insert SIM to Access Data Network error: Instead of selecting the Data from the drop down menu go into mobile data directly from the Settings app. You will see that the mobile data is checked but uncheck it.... wait a couple of seconds then check it again. When you go back to your home screen and drop down menu the "Data" option will now be selected/lit. You will need to do this every time you reboot the device. Hope this helps

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
He just thought because this thread was meant for Sprint E4GT phones that can be flashed over to Boost but it requires a donor phone so the activation and esn can be cloned so the Sprint branded phone will work on the Boost servers.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dragonhart6505:
hate to bump an old thread, but im kinda in a pickle...

ive flashed devices before (SIII, HTC Evo, etc...) and thought this would be just as simple. it is, but im in a predicament.

im trying to flash a Sprint EP4g to Boost from a Boost EP4g that has a broken charger port (why im flashing it in the first place). thought it would be as simple as a DEC swap, but turns out it may not be.

since i cant get the info from QPST for the original EP4g, i cant get the HA AAA keys or data profile information. and they dont update this info automatically OTA (which i find really strange)

ive programmed the MIN/MSID into the phone, made the call and gave them the account pin, they reset the phone to the network and i can now make calls no problem. but what can i do to get data working?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mschmidt33:
Thanks for the help... I would prefer to just keep the stock rom and keep things as simple as possible for now. I have mms now but no 3g (even though I have icon). Speeds are low 100's in speedtest.

checking the NV items on the SGS2, two of them dont match what the TP2 had, they show access denied. Also, I think I got the HA and AAA keys correct from the TP2 into hex... there are no zero's as you mention though? They also don't stick when I click ok?

Any help would be appreciated.

---------- Post added at 09:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 AM ----------

Also would like to confirm if I should be using 0 or 1 for active user? TP2 had 1.

Lastly, should I connect with CP or ALL? I have seen conflicting answers...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peryp9:
The EL29 that I mentioned above is a STOCK ROM, but you also gain ROOT access + Back-up + Recovery ... so no worries there.

If you see ACCESS DENIED in any of the addresses that I mentioned (465, 466, 1192, 1194), then you need to buy yourself a SANYO INCOGNITO. There may be ways to get those addresses from TP2, but I am not aware of them. A Sanyo Incognito goes for $25 on Ebay. You would have to start the entire process from the beginning...

Now it's clear that your phone only gets 1X ... so your Profile 1 (the Boost profile) did not transfer properly to the new phone.

When you first setup the Profiles on the new phone, you will need to select Profile 0 as the active profile. It will automatically change to Profile 1, after you reboot. That's normal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mschmidt33:
Do I really need an igcognito? I have the original NV items populated from the TP2, they all did not write the the SGS2?

I tried DFS and read range, 466 and 1192 do not show up... really want to get 3g working today, I hope I do not have to start over.

If I flash a rom will I need to do this all over again anyway?

Mike
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peryp9:
If it says ACCESS DENIED, you're out of luck. There may be ways around it, using some Chinese radio - I THINK THIS CHINESE RADIO WILL ONLY WORK FOR GSM PHONES, SO YOU MAY BRICK YOUR TP2 IF YOU FLASH IT !!! (http://www.gsm4share.com/smartphones/416-htc-touch-pro-2-esn-meid-solution.html) but I don't think it's worth it... you would probably waste more time trying. With all the knowledge you have right now, it will take you no more than 10 minutes by starting over again, using the Incognito.

Give it one more try with the TP2 by entering ##3424# (DIAG mode) and if it doesn't work ... that's it.

The choice is yours.

After all the help I gave you... I think I deserve a THANK YOU click ...

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 AM ----------

Try this to see if your EVDO settings are properly set:

type ##33284#

go to EVDO Engineering and see if AN-AAA says "Pass"

OR

go to CONFIGURATION and see if Technology says EVDO RevA

OR

go to DATA Status and see if EVDO has an IP address.

Some of these settings may be working properly, but I can't help you beyond this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mschmidt33:
Give it one more try with the TP2 by entering ##3424# (DIAG mode) and if it doesn't work ... that's it. > What do you mean? Try to extract the NV items or HA and AAA? I have all of these from the TP2?

##33284# > AN-AAA says "Fail"

Configuration > Technology says EVDO RevA

Data Status just has an IP address
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peryp9:
In the post that I gave you last time (the link I previously included) you had to enter ##3424# on the TP2 before you connect it to the computer... maybe that will enable you to read the NV ITEM values (maybe it will, maybe it won't... I don't know). Did you read the stuff that was posted there ? You have to be able to figure this stuff on your own.

I think because the AN-AAA failed to authenticate, you don't have a 3G connection.

I told you to get yourself a Sanyo Incognito because that phone has been proven to work... There may be ways to get what you need from the TP2, but I think you are wasting your time trying.

If you decide to use the Incognito, then I recommend restoring your Epic Touch to default settings before starting over, by typing ##786# or ##72786# ... then put the new MEID of the Incognito ... then reboot your Epic Touch ... then follow the rest of the steps I previously gave you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mschmidt33:
Thanks again for the reply but I think you may have misunderstood or maybe I just don't know what I'm talking about yet (likely). I have good info in all of the NV items from the TP2. After writing, two of them show access denied when I read them on the Epic touch. I read everything you posted and did it all but the mods and rooting. I figured once I get this to work, I will consider rooting or mods.

I agree, no 3G, I can see that from the speed and spotty coverage.

I really want this to work now, I think I have everything needed but it just doesn't seem to stick. If not I will get an incognito.

So I can't just start over with the incognito? A hard reset will not be enough for the Epic touch?

I'd like to get a bad ESN Epic working with my SERO plan. To do that, I'd like to use my clean ESN TP2 as the donor. Should this guide work for doing that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kainppc6700:
Nice! I thought I was the ONLY person stuck in that boat. I've got a SERO Sprint Diamond and have been slowly making progress, but I think I'm about to the point where I'm stuck without the help of someone very knowledgable basically there to help me. I finally figured out how to change the ESN with DFS Software, and this one guy from Minnesota read and wrote some NVItems, but that didn't work so he gave up.

From there, I copied the data connection settings (including the HA/AAA Shared secret keys) as well as the MDN and MIN that the Diamond had, and actually kinda got voice and SMS to work, but no data. If I Try to enable the data connection, nothing happens, and if I force 1xRTT and enable it, I get that infamous "error 67". If I try to hit "update profile" to fix the programming, the thing will try for about five minutes before it terminates and gives you the error screen and cites an "unknown error" or sometimes a "connection error".

I'm so close - does anyone know what I could be doing wrong?

I did basically the same thing using different software. Do you need to read or write any "NVItems" if you already have the HA/AAA keys? I get an error when I call out and an "unknown error" when I hit "update profile". The guy on HowardForums said I should maybe call into Sprint and ask them to "refresh" it or something. Would this be the next thing I should try? I've been messing with this for hours.

As Chris points out in that link you need to write 1192.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kainppc6700:
Update time! (Pasted from Howardforum)

So, I was still having the same problem as before and really at the end of my line, but I called Sprint like was suggested here in the thread, and they weren't really able to help me. After that, I read somewhere on XDA DEVELOPERS that someone found that there is a "hard to get" Sprint rep that can do the "refresh" thing for you - guess how you get that rep? You just stay on the line after the error message! She'll verify your account information, have you reboot the phone, and it'll be all fixed. Wish I would've known it was that easy before...

I've managed to now have voice, SMS, and some spotty 1xRTT data. The problem is that the signal here at the house really sucks (shouldn't even work at all according to their map), and I can't tell yet if the reason the EvDo isn't working is because something went wrong or the signal is just too weak. I'll let you guys know tomorrow. In the meantime, connecting to just the 1xRTT is a pain that takes forever - 45 seconds was my record time from enabling the connection to seeing the "1x" icon up top.

Anyway, I'll go out and check this morning in a place that has proper signal and let everyone know if EvDo is good to go or if more troubleshooting is needed. Stay tuned!

Thank you for all your help

I have followed this thread and had great success. I could be happy with the progress I've made but I'm sure there is a simple fix for my simple issue.

I went from the incognito to the epic 4g touch. Everything works outbound. I get 3g, I can make calls, send and recieve sms text although send goes out instantly and to receive takes forever.

However when someone calls me, my phone dose not ring or show that a call is coming through. The phone that is calling me rings for awhile and goes to my voicemail.... Where should I look? :confused:

:DTHANK YOU!!!!:D

EDIT: I have noticed that my MSID dosn't match my phone number is that the issue?
