##775# used to put me into the appropriate destination with no issues, as soon as i hit the final # sign, but since cm6, no love. now, nothing. i hit 'call' and it takes me to a verizon message saying the code is invalid.

i installed the apk, install said it went fine, but it didn't. i pushed it to /system/app, still didn't work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] johncjenc:
Cm6 dialer has interface issues w epst.
[EVO 4G Android Development] timothydonohue:
so...does that mean a custom dialer would work better? or is it that no dialer will do it using cm6?
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
No CM6 uses a custom dialer. That is the issue. My bet is sense dialer works fine, which is what DC 3.5 uses if I'm not mistaken.
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
[Update2]

Thanks everyone for the fix! This is what worked for me. Download old EPST here (thanks to aporon for providing apk). I had to mount /system/app as r/w with root explorer then install and reboot. Then tested with ##775# and it worked.

Do I have to just put the file on my sd card or mount via root explorer and put in the file metioned above.... Do I flash or just put on card, select file or what?
[EVO 4G Android Development] beastmods:
Confirmed not working on 8-10 cm6 nightly.

waiting for the beast to make this work. Thank you all for the hard work. Would test on another 2.2 but CM is the S#$T
[EVO 4G Android Development] n1gh7m4r3:
----- Was only able to get the following working on CM6 -----

*#*#4636#*#* - Phone Information - "Phone information, Battery information, Battery history, Useage statistics, Wifi information"

Tested also works on the eng spl for toasts root method part two, also allows for some setting changes, like smsc and a few other settings
[EVO 4G Android Development] bradfox2:
Thanks x 1000

Working great on dc 3.5
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
Follow my directions on the op. Just drop the file on your SD card and move it as directed, or push it to the location.

I would be impressed if the beast figured it out. This is what I have been working on. The EPST file seems to only play nicely with sense based dialers. I'm still close to a fix, but close aint close enough.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
yeah that didn't work and i'm running a ROM based off of the OTA, s3vo 1.2. so i have a sense dialer. i put the old EPST on my sdcard, mounted /system and /system/apps as r-w, pasted the new file in there, rebooted, and nothing changed. so this is only a fix for very few ROMs out there. sorry
[EVO 4G Android Development] johncjenc:
You have to install the file not just place it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
i tried that and it always says "Application not installed"

is there something i'm missing with trying to install it? i've tried with appinstaller and astro
[EVO 4G Android Development] johncjenc:
Did you try root explorer and grant system/ app rw access? That's what worked for me
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
yes, i applied rw to /, then to /system and also made sure it was the same for /system/app. still wouldn't install.

also, i just tried to install with root explorer and still get "Application not installed".

so now i've tried install with root explorer, astro and appinstaller lol to no avail

maybe something else i'm missing :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] johncjenc:
This is what worked for me. I made system rw then installed the file from the sd card. Then replaced the epst 2.2 with the 2.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
ok, i followed your instructions and it worked with root explorer after i deleted the other epst file.... works great on my rooted 2.2 roms.

webs05,

do you have a paypal donate link. your a lifesaver!!!

thanks again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
For those with issues, make sure you are following the directions on the OP. Also try installing EPST from /system/app, move the file there then install.

Thanks but no need. This thread is an amalgamation of the work of people following it so I don't deserve all the rights to the rewards.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vedavin:
This is an awesome thread.......Thx OP
[EVO 4G Android Development] johncjenc:
Fyi the pri update fix broke the evdo roaming hack in my area. If you update pri, check data transmission. I'm reverting back to eng build.
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
But you can still get to the ## codes correct? I updated my PRI and can still dial them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] johncjenc:
Yes the codes still work, however the phone fails to register on the network. Browsing and data works, but voice,sms andmms are broken. I'm reverting to the eng build now and will post results.
[EVO 4G Android Development] johncjenc:
Reverted and all works again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] althis:
i'm having trouble getting the EPST installed, i'm using astro and i set it to /system rw using spare parts from baked snack 1.3. i put the epst.apk into the apps folder on the sd card and when i try to install it says that there's already a version installed which i can't uninstall to put in the new one. do i have to push it into /system/app or is anywhere in the sd card fine?
[EVO 4G Android Development] minieod:
i havent read all 11 pages, does this work on cm6?
[EVO 4G Android Development] krazyflipj:
What is eng build? I updated pri and i can't make calls via roam only
[EVO 4G Android Development] wastingoctober:
Thanks! Couldn't get it to work in Baked Snack 1.3, but installed Fresh Evo 3.1.0.1 and it worked like a champ! Glad to be back on Verizon.
[EVO 4G Android Development] johncjenc:
Flip, its the 1.34 pri
[EVO 4G Android Development] krazyflipj:
@ johncjenc i don't wanna hijack the board with my pri questions so i sent you a pm. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] johncjenc:
Pm'd you back. Disregard my first one. I hasn't had my morning coffee!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Just_s:
All I did was update the PRL in settings>updates and then re-apply the hack through epst and it works great for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] johncjenc:
This hack is pretty influenced by region and towers etc. I'm in az and was a no go. I had hoped to get better speeds but phone wouldn't register on Verizon. Was worth a try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] th3b055:
Question:

Would it be possible to pull the EPST.apk from toastcfh's PC36IMG.zip (md5sum~ fe8aba99893c766b8c4fd0a2734e4738), from the NAND unlock tutorial and install it to get ##778# to work?
[EVO 4G Android Development] johncjenc:
Just a thought. Are the ppl having trouble installing running odex'd or deodexed ROMs?
[EVO 4G Android Development] claude9039u:
Sorry newby here now that we can get into this what changes can we do that improve the phone. Back with the TP2 I could change the rate that it hits the tower for faster service. So are there changes we can can do?
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
John, I have been using deodex roms only. Except for CM, I'm not sure if it was odex or deodex.

Possibly, but I haven't looked into it. This might be a good question to ask the community. My hunch is the answer would be no, since work is still being done on writing to the other partitions and I think access to that would be needed. WinMo had the one advantage that MS registry was easy accessible once a custom ROM was installed. Not necessarily the case with Android devices. But I do lack a lot of knowledge on this so I could be way off.
[EVO 4G Android Development] johncjenc:
Mines deodex as well. I was theorizing that the ppl having trouble installing might have been using a deodexed . Apk with odex rom. Doesn't quite make sense why it wouldn't take.
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
Thats not a bad thought at all. Can you do any testing on this? If need be I could always link up an odex and deodex version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] johncjenc:
If you link up both versions, I'll find some time and flash a stock odex rom and run the fix on both, odexed and non. Thanks webs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
If you want to spend some time on this I have tomorrow off and I could get them up on 4shared or something and we could link everything. 2.1 and 2.2 EPST and an odex and deodex version of each. I'm thinking we could zip up the EPST file and name the zip something descriptive and keep the EPST file with the original name.

But if its an odex version it will need another file with too correct? Isn't there an odex file with each APK?
[EVO 4G Android Development] johncjenc:
What I'm thinking is, since we're sharing the same files, ppl have been attempting to install deodexed . Apk files on top of stock or odexed roms. Its the only reason that makes sense if the system/ app file was mounted r/w and the epst file replaced and installed correctly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shawnee4885:
I'm still having some trouble with this. I'm running BakedSnack 1.5 and I put EPST.apk into /system/app using Android Mate (a root explorer). It did not ask me if I wanted to overwrite the existing file, but it did say that the copy was successful.

I run and install EPST.apk, and the install seems like it is successful. I open up the dialer, and type ##775#, and I get the loading screen for the PRL menu, but the menu never shows up.

Any ideas here? Am I doing something wrong?
[EVO 4G Android Development] brownmc77:
i too am having the same problem with baked snack. i guess nobody has an answer yet. or it would of definitely been posted. just sitting, waiting patiently........
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
Did it prompt for the MSL? I noticed that it took awhile for the prompt to come up for me the first time, but then came up right away.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shawnee4885:
No, it never prompted for the MSL.
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
Did you try rebooting? If that doesn't work I might need to spend more time working on the deodex/odex issue. Do you know if your version of Baked Snack is deodex or odex?
[EVO 4G Android Development] izzystylez:
on fresh rom here,, im pretty sure its odexed, ##3282# and others work but still cant get ##prl# to work for me
[EVO 4G Android Development] shawnee4885:
I tried rebooting, but that didn't work.... I'm not sure if it is odex or deodex... but it is the latest version of BakedSnack.
[EVO 4G Android Development] spiicytuna:
No it doesn't....I just tried the EPST.apk from the OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] johncjenc:
I tested both odex and deodexed roms and the epst replace works. I just verified on fresh 3.2 and baked snack. In baked make the system/ app rw w root explorer and paste the 2.1 epst in and replace 2.2 epst. After replaced, click to install keeping r/w access on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
So Deodex/odex doesn't matter? Thats good news.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shortbus182:
I just dropped my phone off at Sprint repair center for various issues. Key backlight stays on, screen seperation, and blown speaker. My guess is I will be getting a new phone. Can someone tell me if *#*#4636#*#* is what I need to see refurbished status, and is msl required?
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
I'm not sure if that code works or not. Try it right now before you take the phone in.

I just took mine in and it was pretty obvious they were giving me a refurb. Hard to hide the fact it came out of a non standard box. But most likely it will be refurb, that is standard operating procedure for Sprint and other cell phone companies.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shortbus182:
I thought about it after the fact. I know there is a code for the refurb status, but I just can't remember which one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] must5llx:
if you dial the ##786# number it will till you if it has been refurbished and on what date.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shortbus182:

My epst is broke now since this latest htc update..... Any changes or what happened? Mine is dated august 8.
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
Probably going to have to do this hack again. But if you applied the update from HTC, that means you just unrooted your phone. NEVER apply an update from HTC once rooted. Always apply an update from XDA that is certified rooted.

Password Needed

I tried typing in the some of the codes but it prompts me for a password. Any ideas?

I have Froyo 2.2 loaded with the Evio ROM
[EVO 4G Android Development] BmoreBadBoy:
Oooops. Double post.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BmoreBadBoy:
Yes. Your password is your MSL. Search MSL in the market. There's a program that will fish it out of your phone for you as long as you're rooted.

## CODES ##

Now if I am not mistaken everyone is looking for the codes or a way to be able to hack into the phone ... Now I have been able to do so ... However I am not able to access them in CM6 ... which it would be nice to access to double check, since my main concern with this ROM is that I can't seem to configure the mms settings to work on cricket I have Wap & GPS but no mms :(:confused::mad: ... so any help here would be greatly appreciated.

But now back to your dilemma ... I was able to access EPST PRL DATA and any other phone code necessary to provision my handset...

I was fully rooted unlocked NAND using the odexed stock ROM and also using ztahoez V8 and V9 cricket roms ... there is a PRL update section in the settings as well in both of the roms ... also other roms out there you can do this on .. avafroyo roms .. then once you changed all your settings you can go simply restore your nandroid backup or flash to rom of your choice. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] johncjenc:
The epst issue and dialer codes were fixed long ago by replacing the 2.2 epst with a 2.1. Your post is incomprehensible and reads as if you copy and pasted a menagerie of random terms from other posts. Further if you had a fix for someones issues why the rambling nonsense and not post the fix or at the very least define and describe it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] eeeeeeeeek:
Tried several times, different methods of updating the epst to an old one. It doesn't work, it won't give me access to the screen. Running EvoNonsense 2.0
[EVO 4G Android Development] johncjenc:
Pm me ill try to get it installed for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
I just updated to fresh 3.4 and the epst isn't working again.... I loaded the old epst and it still won't work. Anyone have the working epst with the new leaded update with the new fresh rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] johncjenc:
Anytime you flash a new rom or update the epst fix will be overwritten again. Once again, replace the 2.2 epst w 2.1 in the apps directory then install the 2.1. Use root explorer or a similar app. I use 3.4 also and it works fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] imex99:
It's working again, I was following steps but the codes wouldn't work..... I uninstalled the epst and installed again and works like a charm now!
[EVO 4G Android Development] gbhartia:
Update :

Tried the following on Evo 4g

##778# - Not Working

##UPST# - Not Working

All of the *# Commands I tried are not working.

Webs05, please update your fist post.

Thanks for the EPST.apk though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
Thanks! I updated the post to reflect this. I tried those codes as well and didn't have any luck. Just for curiosity, what version of Android are you using and what version of EPST are you using?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gbhartia:
^

I should be thanking you for getting ##775# to work again.. :)

Anyways.. My Android is still stock(but rooted) Froyo Build No. 3.29.651.5

Radio : 2.15.00.09.01

(will be installing custom rom soon)

As for version of EPST... I just installed yours (the one you have in your post) and tried out the commands. ##775# started working again but not the other ones I tried.

I guess Evo 4g does not support *# commands as almost none are working.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Maximilian Mary:
Alright, I know this is an Evo thread, but is there any chance the modded EPST would work on a non-HTC phn (e.g. LG Axis)? I tried a couple different apks from the forums, but all I get is errors and fc. My carrier did some major changes, and I'm cracking up out here with no way to install the new PRL I found. Adp push is not an option. If I had access to my computer, I'd be in my home area and could update the PRL the normal way. There must be some way. What process is it that *228 initiates? It must download the PRL, then run a process to install it from the local file. Could this be hacked to use a different file?

Thoughts?
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
It should be specified on the OP that these codes are for Sprint phones only. It is possible other carriers have some codes but I have no idea what they would be.

Do any of these work when running CM7? I cannot seem to get any of these codes to work in my dialer...even with the EPST.apk installed.

I know what my sig says...yes, I am on an Evo right now :)

Edit: I'm pretty sure you need to be at least on a Sense ROM...just wanting to know for sure. Not sure what else could be the issue...
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
You are not the only one. If you read back in previous comments others have had these problems too. Its because CM is built off of AOSP, not the HTC Evo version of Android. AOSP doesn't support dialer codes.

I unfortunately do not have the time to look into and work on this, but if anyone else does, have them leave a comment here and I'll gladly pass along the little info I have.
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
Sorry for the double dip, but I have a program that might help solve the problem of dialer codes not working in CM. It basically makes the same procedure call that the dialer does. It just bypasses the dialer all together. I had trouble getting it to work in CM, but others might be able to figure it out.

Let me know if anyone is interested.

[EVO 4G General] TickLe MY eLMo:
So, i was REALLY in to the red earpiece...or speaker...whatever...that they originally had on the EVO, so i decided to buy a sharpie and do it myself, turned out pretty well! Any imperfections are UNDER the hole punched metal piece, or are just reflections from lights in my room learned that after drawing on it a couple times. If anyone is interested in doing this, warning, it probably voids warranty, but you could probably get it off fairly easily if you use a paper clip and a napkin with some type of remover on it though. Also note, if you do this, you need the fine point sharpies, and need to press in to the corners a bit to shape the tip to them, won't get all of it otherwise. Pictures:

NOTE: it has been proven that this can be removed using a q-tip and rubbing alcohol:

use this type of sharpie!:

[EVO 4G General] cesjr02:
wow, turned out better than I would have imagined. I suppose the color choices would be endless given the wide array of sharpie colors available. hmm, the possibilities.
[EVO 4G General] TickLe MY eLMo:
I agree, but with the metal being more grey and not white, you might have problems with colors like yellow or pink. Otherwise, i think you would be good to go, the darker, the better i would say. But, thanks :).
[EVO 4G General] 063_XOBX:

[EVO 4G General] Geniusdog254:
Hm I'm def. gunna buy a red sharpie today!

One thing I'm worried about though is removing it. Has anyone actually tried to get it off how the OP mentioned? If it comes off fine I'll definitely be doing it!

EDIT: Also, how does the LED look with this? Does it get miscolored at all?
[EVO 4G General] wrxlvr:
very nice.
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
Looks great. Id be too scared though lol.

Doesn't come off meaning warranty is pointless

Is the visibility of the led affected?

From Team HTC Evo.
[EVO 4G General] chazglenn3:
I would love to hear the reason for denying a warranty claim due to this...but that being said I'm sure a Q-Tip SLIGHTLY moistened with Goof-Off would take it right off.
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
Coloring the vent doesn't affect the warranty, as it does not change anything in respect to operation and functionality.
[EVO 4G General] bryank930:
Rubbing alcohol will easily remove sharpie. Less of a chance screwing something up with that vs. goof-off.

Sharpie also makes paint pens if you are interested in a more permanent solution.

Going to have to get s sharpie now.. I've also liked the red piece as well. Don't see why they changed it in the first place.

Like others have asked.. does the LED still light up fine?
[EVO 4G General] azfxstb:
No effect at all works fine
[EVO 4G General] jkinnison90:
Awesome xD. Gonna have to do this now.
[EVO 4G General] Geniusdog254:
Alright, against my better judgement I did this myself. Here's my results:

First off, its REALLY difficult to get the very corners. I ripped up the end of my Sharpie in the process

The stuff does come off quite easily with a Q-TIP dipped in alcohol (GermX works too, it's 95% alcohol after all lol)

Its also damn near impossible to get it out of the very top corners (assuming you can get it there to begin with) but it can be done

The amber LED isn't impeded at all, but there is a center stripe on mine where the green LED is slightly blocked.

Here's a pic of mine: http://twitpic.com/29iq8a
