I finally made evo 4g working on vm. It would have been a little bit easier if my samsung intercept connected to my PC.

Thanks to weinerwad3000 for his help.

Things finally worked:

NV item 1192 ---- contains AAA shared, same thing you entered on nai profiles

NV item 1194 ---- imei (hex) at mdata.vmobl.com

8687 21EF (two same numbers one in dec and another in HEX)

logcat To get AAA

Instead of simple IP --- I used "Mob IP only"

nai profile 2 @prov.vmobl.com

I am still not sure if 3G works. At least there is a sign 3G showing. I am not sure how many posts I have read. There is one youbue video that really helped me. Thanks to whoever posted that video. If you should watch carefully when he click different tabs if you cannot read your phone using QPST. You need to pay attention to small details on the tabs he clicked.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkLG:
I'm looking to flash my evo over to vm using my oV as a donor phone if anyone care toi give simple steps on a how to I would greatly appreciate it ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykman1:
Getting the voice n text to work is the easy part... But data is nearly impossible, and Im thinking its cause you have to have an Intercept as your donor... I have done every single possible thing I could to get it working and all I ever got was a 3G icon that goes in and out with still no data. The only possible reason I can think is cause my donor isnt an Intercept, which is all I see people getting the data to work from. As of now, I basically have given up, to my knowledge theres nothing more I can do unless I get a new suggestion from someone that I havent tried. So, if anyone has any, please let me know, otherwise... I can not go any further with this, Im just stuck at a dead end... Thanks to everyone who has helped thus far though, I really appreciate it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poop9711:
Texts stop coming

It does seem like a lost cause anyway. It appears that even if you get data to work - texts/calls will stop coming through randomly.

It's like the phone stops talking to the network even though 3g still works. So incoming calls will go straight to voicemail and texts won't work until I make a phone call. Then all the texts come through in a flood.

I programmed tasker to make a phone call to voicemail every morning so that texts will work for that day but even if I do that sometimes it will randomly "deregister" again and I'll have to make a call to get it talking again.

Pretty frustrating. Has anyone who's gotten it working experienced this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UncivilSavage:
Hello everyone! First allow me to start off by thanking everyone for their helpful posts that I have read here on how to flash my hTC EVO 4G to VM. Luckly I was able to use the LG Optimus V as my donor phone and got the talk, text, and web(somewhat) to work! Only problem I have is that my 3g stays on for about 5 minutes give or take, then disconnects. It reconnects again own its on after about 3 minutes or so. Does anyone have a solution for this? Also I keep receving a message from a 999999 number what are those?

Im not using the Intercept as a donor so I can't completely say how to read the NV, but DFS (cdmatool(dot)com) is what helped the most in trying to read and fully unlock my device. You must have your SPC code and I'm not sure if it needs to be rooted but I would think so. Once your able to fully unlock and read in DFS then you should be able to close it, open up CW and read and write NV items just fine. For whatever reason, DFS had to be in play for all that to work for me and I'm seeing the same for others as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenixgoon:
ok, even after installing custom recovery (CM01) and a rooted version of the stock android 2.2 rom, i STILL can't read any nv items! when i go to read the NV items, it says "normally you need to send the SPC first" (even though i just sent it) and then the resulting text file says

CDMA workshop says that the SPC/MSL code i sent to the phone is correct and that the phone is unlocked though! any idea what could be up?

i also tried doing step1.5 in the incredible guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1156930&highlight=virgin+mobile)

but CDMA workshop said that i need to send a 16digit password. any way to find out what that is?

any idea wth i'm doing wrong? epic fail on my part :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykman1:
Yea... In CW under Security then Password, change the F's to 16 0's and send. You can also try changing your SPC code to all 0's in QPST, I know once I did that my phone seemed to read a lot easier, especially in DFS. I would do that, then open DFS and send your spc to the phone, then close it and open up CW, connect, read, then try to read the NV items again. You can also try to read the NV in DFS, see if that works... When clicking on NV in DFS, just leave the default settings and click read, then look at the nv numbers u need and see if they show in there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenixgoon:
i think i might be having a driver issue since QPST does not recognize the model phone i have.

what drivers are you guys using? i have had the best luck so far with PdaNet, but apparently that isn't saying much :D

if i use the sprint drivers here's the error i get "the installation package is not supported by your processor type. contact your product vendor."

edit: i tried using the sprint drivers on a 32bit computer (i run win764) and while the drivers installed fine, QPST still did not recognize my phone and CDMAWS still couldn't read NVitems.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykman1:
Have you tried the driver straight from Samsung?

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SPH-M910CAAVMU?

Also, make sure your phone is in Diag mode, that sounds like your problem. Again, Im not completely familiar with the Intercept but I also know that some phones have a setting to switch it to modem mode just like the diag so I would think thats your problem...

Here is Intercepts dialer codes, figure out which one gets you to change those settings. Also remember that if your not on a stock rom then some of these may not work.

echo 1 > /dev/qct_diag_enable (to enable diag mode)

..and your phone should go into USB diag mode. when you are done just:

echo 0 > /dev/qct_diag_enable (to disable diag mode)

Or

echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/usb_composite/diag/enable

To disable

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

You can use gscript to make a button that will perform these scripts or just put them in terminal emulator.

Anyways do I need to change things like the SID and NID and IMSI on the Nam tab in CDMA worskhop? Also do I need to program the AKEY along with aaa and ha. Also do i need to manually program my phone number and min or will they register with the esn and meid?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinydude100:
Brooksyx, I know how badly you want mms to work, but they're as lost as we are, it isn't a setting you need to input, its hardcoded in the framework as well as other checkpoints addressed on cyanogenmod7 vm builds. We only have msnuser111 as our builder. And it takes a while to build. To be honest, we have a better headstart on mms than the evo on epic does, and if we get it working, they're still going to have to compile their own mms fix for cm7 on the evo. Just be patient.

It's ok to have both on, it's the exact same identity. Only way you can flag yourself is by obviously insipid reasons. Such as putting one phone in City A, the other in City B, and getting Higher level tech support involved in the status of your phone, worst they could see is that your phone is getting service in both City A and B.. even then. Nothing to worry about except a few missed texts if both are on, and to be honest, sometimes 3g conflicts on a phone if both are on so its best to have one on.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeslieAnn:
Thanks for everyones contributions to this tread, I'm working on getting mine done. I think I have all I need off the OV at this point but I think I have had to fight for everything except the SPC.

If you guys are still having trouble getting the OV passwords here is a few things I found in my quest for this. You MUST be on a Froyo rom, CM7 will not work, we can hardly get prl swaps with it. Recovery may not stop you but it may slow you down, I used Xionia .4 for the OV (I have a link for it if anyone needs it). The rom definitely matters, it needs to be Froyo. If you have an old Nandroid backup, that will work (I can probably get one of those too if anyone needs it).

Some of the copies of Lgnpst I found are bad and will constantly crash, make absolutely sure you have the lab version as well, the first one I got was not Lab. Different versions of cdma-workshop handles certain things better and other things worse, some could be the turtorials are for older versions and just confused me a bit, but I did get more info on 3.8 than I did on 3.6. I was starting to give up and started looking for cheap Intercepts when I finally got off all I needed (I hope).

Also, has anyone considered trying the Wildfire or Slider mms and voicemail apk's? I have used bits of various bit for Harmonia roms in the past. Once I get up and going if no one has tried I will give it a shot.

My understanding is that inputting the new settings into the Iphone is a breeze, plenty of info on this out there since the Iphone is so sought after. However, most seem unable to get the passwords working, and I would say you have zero chance of MMS working.
