How can I find a tutorial for this phone? I've searched everywhere for other commands but I can't find anything. The only one I can find is "requestnvitemread ds_mip_ss_user_prof" but the output returns the error message Diag RX item: requestnvitemread - error response received from target. The RX item is the one I need but I can't access it. Does anyone know any similiar commands that may work on this piece of crap phone.

actually the esn won't get banned. I have an lg rumor 2 and an evo with the same esn right now and both of them ring and receive texts simultaneously. Still can't get data though.

Update - error message and output from QXDM

Ok, the exact error message I get when I try to place a call on my flashed Evo is: Your account could not be validated, please contact customer services. Message 5, Switch 176"

The exact command output from QXDM when I verify the ESN:

Requestnvitemread ESN

DIAG TX item:

esn = 0x00000000 <-- these are all zeros. Should they be?

DIAG RX item:

esn= 0x............ <-- this is my correct donor ESN from my optimus phone
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insink71:
all zeros

Don't think those should be all zeros, but as I said before, no expert on EVO 4g. There is a part of uncivil's guide (glad he left in) that goes through the classic method as opposed to open sesame door technique. My instinct says it didn't update ESN to all the needed places in nv items (though finding the right patch of zeros to edit could prove difficult). Since I'm old and memory fades way too fast, remind me again about taking out the battery.. did you take out the battery with the phone running? (Referred to as "hard" reset) have you attempted to repeat that step to no avail? (On or off; Recommendation here would be to leave battery out for a good 15 seconds) Have you tried a factory data reset? Ok those are carrier things they'd ask and run through should you call-in.. Then, they'd try the reactivate.. There's an apk for that on wfs though. I could tell you to try changing your min/mdn (which would then change the number to yours) but I'm afraid it would be a scatter-shot attempt at fixing. You need someone more acquainted with EVO 4g to give you a laser-guided solution. Sorry couldn't be of more help.

When you wrote the new meid did you use command "requestnvitemwrite meid 0x00A...." ?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcb1:
Yes, that was the command I used - and it took (well, I think it took) because the correct MEID and ESN from my donor Optimus V is showing up when I read out my Evo in CDMA workshop.

I think I have a solution, but I wanted to get your opinion. I have the DFS 3.1 software. How about I plug the Optimus in, read all the info on it, and then plug the Evo in, and write the exact info that I took off the Optimus?

Would that work?

Sorry.. already reponded before I repeated you. My bad. I'be found the DFS and CDMA Workshop do essentially the same stuff.. but lots of ppl have done the read from/write to approach..majority reporting good results.. that being said, don't pull the trigger without a good aim...

Got it working...finally, but only on 1g, not 3g

I got talk and text working initially but no data at all. Finally went back into DFS and there was a user name missing in one of the fields - the password was there but no user name. I wrote that to the phone and from that point on, data worked.

But this is the weird thing: on the original sprint sense rom, it showed up as 3G. It seemed really slow for 3G, but that's what the icon showed. I then flashed the ICS rom that was recommended in Uncivil Savage's guide. Ironically now the icon only shows 1X rather than 3G, but yet the browsing seems faster :confused:

And the battery life seems really bad on the ICS rom. Even turning on limit data, which I guess is sort of like turning off background data on Gingerbread, I still only get 5-7 hours battery life.

Can I try another version of ICS? I realize that the one I flashed is the recommended one in the tutorial guide and it has the patches for MMS - but if I don't care about MMS working, could I just flash another version of ICS?

Thanks for all the help and replies so far. I'm learning....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UncivilSavage:
In dfs you can just connect your donor, read/write to your new phone and data will work instantly. I moved away from the ICS roms and am now using sense and go SMS to fix the mms issue.

Can't get my Evo to show up as a port on my computer when I'm on ICS

Rob, I tried to connect my phone to DFS, but I can't figure out how to get it to show up as a port on the computer. With the Sprint Sense rom, I just dial ##3424# and the phone goes into diag mode. But with ICS that code doesn't work. How can I get the phone into Diag mode?

---------- Post added at 10:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------

After using the ICS rom, it's pretty cool but I don't like the shortened battery life. Using the Sense rom with background data turned off gives me great battery life. Can you link me to the one you're using?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeslieAnn:
Only stock style Sense roms have the menu system in them to switch to diagnostic mode. None of the others will have it as it is built into the framework and is phone specifc.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meowdib:
Actually, as long as you can adb into your phone, you can get into diag mode.

Install the drivers at the bottom of this page:

http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-install-android-sdk-and-adb-drivers-for-htc-evo-4g/

Then, once you got adb shell open:

To disable diag mode:

echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/usb_composite/diag/enable

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weinerwad3000:
If data works then its not an esn issue. Sounds like an issue with the msid or mdn. I've received texts even though my msid and mdn were messed up. Open up cdma workshop and make sure they're correct. Make sure they're not reversed.

Calling works without a problem on the donor phone, that's the strange part. I double checked the MSID/MDN; They match up exactly to the donor phone. That's why I'm baffled about this. If I pull information from the donor phone, and put it side by side with the EVO, it matches exactly o.O; Weird.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weinerwad3000:
Mdn is mobile directory number which is your number msid is mobile station identification. Imei is the esn for some phones but not the evo. If I'm not mistaken imei is for GSM phones. Have you tried reading the Nam in qpst service programming?

Hey, guys i recently found this thread and decided to give it a go because I hate my Triumph... I have two different HTC EVO's and an optiums v for a donor. I activated the optimus v and ripped all the info off of it, but I am having serious issues getting the EVO to cooperate. I can get the MEID zeroed out while using the open sesame method, however when I try to write to it I get:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weinerwad3000:
Its been a while since I've done it but when you're in efs just drag the files to the desktop. When you write to zero try either 0x0 or 0x00000000 depending on the length of the number. Drag it back into efs then restart the phone. Delete the open sesame door once the phone is zeroed out upon restart.

EDIT:

I tried zeroing out the ESN and MEID the long way, found 11 instances of each, then when I went to QXDM to write over them, 3 locations of each had nothing in them, but i set all of the rest to 0. Restarted the phone, meid and ESN were back to normal.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrPandroid:
What I did was I found UncivilSage's ZIP file with all flashing tools for the EVO. I then copied files 0 and 1943 after doing open sesame door. I wrote the new MEID/ESN in those files. Now, it won't let you drag and drop back in (not for me at least) but what I did was right click > transfer item from PC > and chose them. That's how it worked for me. Right now, I'm in the process of trying to get my AAA Key from LGNPST, but it won't open for me -_-; says something about C:\Windows\system32\wnsdrvr.sys not found. Trying DFS next, while listening to some good ol' GWAR.

Edit: I loved my triumph. Only reason I decided to do this was A) I broke my triumph (dropped it 20 feet onto concrete :/) and B) I saw an EVO on Craigslist for 20 bucks XD

Oh, and I would make sure you are rooted first. Else you can't read/write from the root of the phone if I'm not mistaken. One more thing; Make sure you run QPST/QXDM in windows XP service pack 3 compatibility. That's what worked for me :D
