[EVO 4G General] bonerstorm:
Im currently stuck on the part after getting CDMA workshop connected and getting QPST going...I got QPST to get into the phone, but i can NOT get that stupid red circle to leave the nmv folder i need top get into. Im pretty much almost at the point of talk and text, i just need to find a way to get into that nmv file so that i can proceed. Also, m using a crap Kyocera Jax as a donor...my hex meid is in fact my esn, correct????

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

im stuck on page 22 of the pdf tutorial.... used QPST to get into the files shown then where it says to create the open sesame door and reboot the phone in order to access the nvm folder...it says to reboot your phone...does hat just mean restart it? And t says when you reboot your phone the red circle around the nvm file will go away and you can access it. Not happening for me, the folder has the red circle and doesnt go away even when i restart the phone
[EVO 4G General] mikesalty:
make a folder called "open sesame door" all lowercase and restart your phone

your meid will populate your esn
[EVO 4G General] bonerstorm:
that was it, i had the s in sesame a capital letter. Alright now to get into some real fun here...now need to download a hex editor and m pretty much there. i think tonight is the night
[EVO 4G General] mikesalty:
good luck boner-bro!
[EVO 4G General] bonerstorm:
okay im now on page 25 of the pdf tutorial, the very last step, QXDM....my meid is now showing as 0x0000000000000...and when i try to write with command prompt i get weird messages...could not find buffer. In the tutorial it says AFTER??? the 0x00 is where you enter your meid? Or forget the OxOO at the begining?

Heres my question though...i have two meids on the donor...the decimal and hex. The hex doesnt seem to want to work to work.

Am i supposed to hit ##3424# again?

in my case my hex meid is A0000 something and i enter it all...but it doesnt want to stick

yeah, entering the new meid, it does not want to stick at all.
[EVO 4G General] mikesalty:
I can't tell you what is happening because of the rules here, but I can tell you that there is something you need to type in before you try to write the meid, you need to do some creative google fu to find it. I believe there was a post on phandroid detailing exactly what to do when you have a issue with writing with qpst.

what I can tell you is that you have to type in commands to set the mode, send your spc, and that googling "RequestNVItemWrite scm 0x3a" will head you in the right direction
[EVO 4G General] bonerstorm:
i got it to write!!!!!! My meid was changed succesfully to the donor meid. I needed to reboot my phone for some type of changes to take effect Now, I may have a problem...my meid, as per the tutorial, is now reading something like 0xA0000654321....but shouldnt that initial 0x like not show up in QXDM?

The tutorial says im done and can now use talk and text...however, i havent changed that 3 letter word that starts with an E yet. Do I even need to? Probably a stupid question
[EVO 4G General] Klown80:
no you do not, check your PM. hope it helps!
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
No talk about esn swapping or anything clone wise.. You folks know the rules..

​
[EVO 4G General] mikesalty:
sorry Daddy, just got wrapped up in it :D

edit: on a totally different note, anyone had any success with the new cm7 dailies, or roms that use them? I tried sensua and no MMS even though cm7 is supposed to have MMS stuff modified since august 12th.
[EVO 4G General] pikroa:
If its possible to use another donor phone like kyocera?

Any response will be appreciate...

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] some_shyguy:
For the SensuAOSP I've been patching it on my own. I don't think the ROMs support Virgin MMS properly.

Edit: The CM7 based ROMs are easy enough to patch, I think its explained in one of these Virgin Mobile threads.
[EVO 4G General] mikesalty:
I got it to work once, other than that I keep screwing something up. I've just stuck with the old cm7, the new ones definitely don't work properly. I'd happily accept any offerings of mms patches you want to send my way.

I've also started to care much less about having a front facing camera so I may try the cm9's that are patched.

EDIT: actually something that I wanted to bring up. Now that I did this and a few more evo's, I'm in a place where I could get an evo v 4G (the one from virgin that's actually the evo 3d) Obviously there are pros and cons, but I'm really torn about the decision, coming from an optimus V the 4g was frigging amazing, but I'm wondering how big the difference really is with dual core, although I really don't want to drop 3 megapixels on the camera. I knew it can only be flashed to harmonia, and I probably wouldn't flash to harmonia since I'd want to keep ICS. Any body have opinions?
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
In reality, every phone eventually slows down. My 4g began to slow down but after a full wipe (user data+factory reset) it began speeding up again and with the added Ram on my V 4g I haven't had that problem (yet). As for the camera, you don't notice the difference much unless you're editing the photo over Photoshop or other programs and most of you probably don't which is fine but I do it for work which is how I noticed. Also the display is much higher resolution. The cons now, of course 4g RAPES your battery and the slimmer screen makes it a bit awkward at first. Also some lower resolution apps appear small on the phone (like tap tap for example) but other than that it's a decent upgrade. Stick to your 4g if it hasn't broken down yet seeing as it isn't much of a difference for a some.
[EVO 4G General] mikesalty:
How about video playback? I watch all my tv shows on the go and mx player is really choppy on my evo, I was thinking that the dual core would fix that
[EVO 4G General] jr0sier:
Is their any step-by-step ways to install this? I've been trying for quite a few hours now and i can't seem to find any.
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
No major difference, it's still a bit choppy too but the downside is you need an adapter for HDMI playback
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
Install what?
[EVO 4G General] jr0sier:
Properly flash my VM to my EVO. Ive tried looking for your tutorial everywhere..

& I've read everything written about EVO2VIRGIN, clicked every link..
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
On the op my friend, download it and read
[EVO 4G General] mikesalty:
If it's still a bit choppy then I'm gonna stick with what I have now, especially if I have to get an adapter, the hdmi playback from my evo is great and I don't wanna lose that.

I've been having a problem with my gps rebooting my phone lately, I'm gonna reflash sensua and see if that fixes it, because gps is crucial for me.

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

The guide here is great, and read through the thread, if you run into any trouble google "groovypost flash to virgin" the steps are the same, but the OP guide that UncivilSavage wrote (the man is a gentleman and a scholar and you should really thank him) has all the specific information for the evo 4g. Also, when you get to the 3G step, check the link in my signature.
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
Haha when I found out about that guide I felt robbed lol.

no service after hacking Virgin HTC WILDFIRE S mobile

I am having HTC wirldfire S virgin mobile and I replaced the PRL file with a new PRL and I am able to see the correct prl version in settings but there is no network at all.

The same prl is working with Verizon mobile.

In my settings ->about-> network->

no operator name is there, signal length is 0, mobile network type is unknown,service state : out of service, Roaming: not Roaming.

So please help me I did all the described steps to change the PRL.http://xdaforums.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
[EVO 4G General] mikesalty:
Ha! I bet, but yours had more personality! (not to mention the correct nv Items)

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

huh?

are you trying to use a verizon prl on a virgin phone? You need a sprint or virgin prl, I think even boost prl would work, but verizon doesn't use the same towers as virgin or boost, both of whom use sprint towers.
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
Lol trying to rip me off and still failed!
[EVO 4G General] anitascorpion:
No Network

Iam trying to push Reliance PRL (India) in Virgin mobile .

I am able to flash it on phone but there is no network
[EVO 4G General] mikesalty:
ah ok, sorry man, I have no idea what to do with an indian prl, sorry.
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
He's basically trying to push a Verizon prl onto a sprint phone which is a no no without changing other things of which XDA does not permit me to discuss.
[EVO 4G General] Laserbeak43:
Hi is there an updated list of usable donor phones? also, now that Virgin Mobile supports 4G, will this enable 4G as well?
[EVO 4G General] mikesalty:
Only if the phone you use has 4g service, which in my area at least, is only the evo 3D, which would be a step backwards.
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
Yeah, donor phones for talk and text are pretty much any phone if you get the min, mdn, ESn, and meid. 3g requires data profiles and AAA keys.
[EVO 4G General] Laserbeak43:
I'm about to use my Motorola Triumph as a donor to get my EVO online. I know it sounds weird, but there's a lot more support for the EVO. The ROMs for the Triumph were nice, but there were only a few.
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
No actually it makes sense plus screen and camera are better on the evo.
[EVO 4G General] Laserbeak43:
yeah, i guess i'll use the triumph as a remote or something :)

CDMA Workshop

Thank you for posting the directions to change over my HTC Evo to Virgin Service.

While going through your instructions, I tried to access the CDMA workshop. I was allerted from my antivirus software that the file contains 2 trojans. One of them is named Generic26.prf and the other is named Dropper.generic3.nov

I have stalled on my process due to these trojans. Is there another program that I can use for this part of the process.

Thank you for all of your help.
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
It's the crack in the cdma workshop that alarms the antivirus, but it's safe trust me. Just make sure to make an exception for the program in your antivirus.
[EVO 4G General] mikesalty:
I velcroed my opV to the wall and plugged in an old set of pc speakers with a subwoofer and I use it almost exclusively as a wall mounted stero control now, between pandora doing radio stations and google music streaming my music, it's pretty tits.

EDIT: Just make sure that after your evo is working, and you WRITE ALL THE NUIMBERS DOWN, that you wipe ALL identifying stuff from the old phone so that it doesn't connect to virgin and make them think there are two phones using the same identifiers at the same time.
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
Lol that made me laugh!
[EVO 4G General] farewell_goodbye2u:
I have a question that hopefully you guys could help me with. I am currently with Virgin Mobile and have the Evo V 3d that i purchased from them brand new. Today i found a really good deal on the Sprint Evo 4g on Craiglist brand new and i was hoping i could transfer the Evo 4g to my virgin mobile account and sell my Evo 3d. Is this possible and if so, would i use this same guide here to do so? Also, will i be able to keep my current phone number? Thanks in advance. I really like the Evo 4g and couldn't pass up the deal on it.
[EVO 4G General] Laserbeak43:
how do i get the Triumph in DIAG mode? Any Cut doesnt work for me. Is it because i'm using MIUI?
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
3d is better if you already have it but yeah, just follow the instructions.
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
Use the stock rom.

Sorry for double post, I'm on my phone.
[EVO 4G General] farewell_goodbye2u:
Thanks for the quick answer. I just wanted to make sure i was in the right place and doing the right thing to flash it before i screwed them both up. Out of curiosity though, why do you think I'd be better off keeping the 3d instead? Development seems about the same. Would def like to flash the JB onto it as long as it's able to be a daily. I could live with ics though. Currently have cm10 on my Evo 3d and it runs like a champ except for a few things that are Wip at the moment such as camera, 4g is kinda buggy, and mms.
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
3d has more under the hood in terms of power and doesn't lag as much. Plus like you said, dev support is the same and it'll most likely support future android versions while the 4g hardware is slowly outdating
[EVO 4G General] Laserbeak43:
Hi,

I get an access denied message when trying ot get nv item 1192:

any ideas?

1192 (0x04A8) - Access denied

so i tried to move onto QXDM to work on the AAA and HA keys and the only numbers i get for profile entries 1, 2 and 3 are 0x00 for example:

08:58:32.659 mn_aaa_shared_secret[8] = 0x00

(and all of this is after flashing to the stock ROM, as suggested)

Here's Profile 1:
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
The phone has to be read or unlocked somehow and being it the triumph, a Motorola phone, I really dont know what to advise you at the moment. I'll try finding some information for you.
[EVO 4G General] Laserbeak43:
oh so i have to unlock the phone? I think i know what i have to do. there's a article and an agreement on the motorola site.

no...motorola doesnt support unlocking this device. i swear i'll never buy another motorola device if i can help it
[EVO 4G General] AZImmortal:
I think you're confusing the type of unlocking that needs to be done. You're thinking of unlocking it to work with another carrier, but the unlocking that needs to be done here is unlocking the phone's programming settings.
[EVO 4G General] Laserbeak43:
ooooh like typing ##data## or something? lol sorry for the arihead lookng response.

anyway after using more keywords to search i found this on CDMAgurus, but couldnt link to the original thread so here it is:

now i just need to figure out how to get my SPC code
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
Cdma workshop should do the trick.
[EVO 4G General] weinerwad3000:
Exactly. The reason your antivirus flags it is because there's a program called crack.exe that cracks the program. I don't even run my antivirus unless my computer starts ****ing up.
[EVO 4G General] Laserbeak43:
lol wow. so i got everything i need and now the diag drivers wont install(eindows7) i tried devices and printers, add new hardware - that takes forever. been waiting 30+ minutes for it to realize i dont have any haedware connected and i just want to manually install. i've also tried add legacy hardware, give windows my .inf file and it just does absolutely nothing with it.

-edit-

trying to get Any Cut from the market, but my phone's software is so old that the market wont download anything. so what do i do? i get an HTC update. wow im an idiot.

-edit-edit-

adb install did the trick, but now i can't find COM port in the EVO...oh, have to put the phone in DIAG mode first. "facepalm"
[EVO 4G General] Laserbeak43:
OK so i got it done(thanks!) but the phone number in "About My Phone" was the same. the MID didnt copy over either. I opened up CDMA Workshop and put the phone numbers in and tried to make a call after rebooting, and i get a message saying my account isnt in service. Also, the user name Blah@sprintpcs.com is still in the about my phone section.o something didnt work. so i turn the EVO off and turn the Triumph back on to test calling (which worked) and i get a crazy long text starting with Provisioning successful and ending in someone from sprint has sent oyu a message, call (a crazy sequence of numbers)
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
Did you enter the SPC prior to entering Mdn and msid?
[EVO 4G General] Laserbeak43:
Yes, but the phone still takes its original SPC. is supposed to do that as well?
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
Unless you've changed it then yes
[EVO 4G General] Laserbeak43:
could you tell me what i need to do next? I take it there are some things you're supposed to do that the guide doesnt mention. I've also flashed the PRL from my triumph
[EVO 4G General] mikesalty:
do you have calls/text working? If so, then it's time to move on to 3g, look at my signature.
[EVO 4G General] Laserbeak43:
I get a message about service not being activated. actually sounds like asprint message and not tmobile
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
Wait, T-Mobile? What phone are you using?
[EVO 4G General] Laserbeak43:
lol sorry was in a rush i meant Virgin mobile

I get a message saying "this account hasn't been verified" it seems there's a lot more for me to do than just flash MEID ESN MSN etc?
[EVO 4G General] jmz:
Yes there is. If you read everything from the link in op it will fix your problems
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
MDN and MIN need to be written.
[EVO 4G General] Laserbeak43:
ok i'll start from the top using the long method
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
Any problems just ask.
[EVO 4G General] Laserbeak43:
thanks,

P.S.

I did add my MIN and MDN using CDMA workshop's Nam section. Do i need to write to both Nam 1 and 2? or just Nam 1?

triumph only has Nam1
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
I just can't seem to put my finger on it but I know the names are changed to DIR-number and MDN I think I forget.
[EVO 4G General] Laserbeak43:
NO PROBLEM!!! I fixed it by simply saving my Nam tab configuration and flashing it to my EVO, then erasing all Nam2 entries in the EVO

Cant get the CM7 ROM to boot no matter what I do(started a thread about it too) gonna try the ICS ROM
[EVO 4G General] Laserbeak43:
SUCCESS!!

Thanks! The ICS ROM seems to work great! :) And i have an EVO on VM! anyone I wonder if we'll be able to get 4G...
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
4g is possible, just not practical because you'd have to have a working MAC address. Not sure if that's against the rules to discuss or not. :confused:
[EVO 4G General] Laserbeak43:
Yeah that's not a common topic I guess. I did once have my evo flashed to cricket in an aws market I happened to have clear as an ISP at the time. And was able to use that..... so I know it can be done that way.....not sire of any other.
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
There's another method I know of but that's not for this forum.
[EVO 4G General] pcr3:
I love you!

Used this medthod to fix my 3G connection! Freaken LOVE YOU! :victory:

How are u able to get virgin mobile to flash the esn to there network ?
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
Virgin doesn't flash esn of any kind.
[EVO 4G General] edwinrodriguez810:
I don't mean flash but I mean how do we get the esn on there network
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
Virgin wont take any esn other than a virgin esn. I will not discuss this topic on this thread any further.
[EVO 4G General] Laserbeak43:
so now that i have everything working and 3G access, would flashing one of these ROMs break functionality?
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
The roms really wouldn't break functionality but just back up to be sure.

[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
You're right. I was out of it haha.
[EVO 4G General] fixitcomputerz:
I have read this tutorial forwards and backwards. Im using an optimus v as the donor. voice and text capabilities work perfectly. have searched, researched and read this forum about getting the 3g working. I've gotten the AAA keys from my donor altho i do not know how to inject them into the evo 4g. I've tried multiple combinations to get the 3g working with no luch. the first set of keys per profile are all zeros. the second set is what i understand i need to use. the default HA key that should be put in as text format is vmug33k. which profiles should that be injected into? also, whats the point of making a profile 0 if we are going to put it as inactive? I may be a newbie at this but i've done enough research to know what i'm talking about. is there any better clarification on the settings per profile? i'm also assuming that each key should be injected per profile. if anyone could give me better clarification because i went to a shop that does this and i knew more than he did. thanks so much in advance.

.dll missing

Hey uncivil savage, I followed your link, but it does not show me how to add the .dll file to lgnpst. Looked around, and found that you have to make a folder in the LGNPST directory with the model number of the phone, and put the .dll file into it. I tried VM670, but that one wont work. can you give me some direction pleas e?
[EVO 4G General] fixitcomputerz:
Download Reggie.exe found that's what you need to register the .dll file.
[EVO 4G General] Aerion4:
Thank you, but where or what is reggie.exe? its not in the files provided.
[EVO 4G General] fixitcomputerz:
Won't let me post from outside sources cuz I'm a new user. Google search

DLLs cannot be registered using regsvr32 Reggie.exe

Make sure to set as an admin and then drag the DLL file on it. Then it doesn't matter what folder its in. You'll be good. Let me know if you need more help.
[EVO 4G General] UncivilSavage:
The profile IS needed because you require 3 1x HA keys to get a solid 1x/3g connection. Also there ahve been several posts on how to upload your AAA key and my guide actually does go over it a couple times but I guess not everyone would understand it exactly. To enter the AAA keys you need either qpst or cdma tool.

Reggie.exe is found in the model folder of LGNPST.
[EVO 4G General] fixitcomputerz:
I understood that I needed qpst and what not. Just was vague on what exactly I needed. But after 3 different threads on different websites and 2 programs, I was able to piece everything together and got the 3g working after working on it for 3 days. Thanks a lot.

If its anything like the older Optimus, just make sure you plug it in then power it down.

Evo design has a SIM card. Won't work. As for the shift, I've done this for my sisters Shift so I can confirm it.

It's an LG Optimus Slider, but it seems that the phone isnt the problem, right?
[EVO 4G General] mikesalty:
You need to have your phone in diag mode ##diag# on your keypad in a stock rom

are you sure the dll is installed too?
