[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] constrictor25:
So I have been messing with all of the ICS roms and I am quite happy right now with Kushdecks latest. He has been messing with the kernel and got hardware acceleration working. Only things broken are the display on the camera and camcorder but they do work and rotation messes up. But the Chrome Beta works and the rom is quite snappy. I can run GTA 3 with full settings and only slight lag.

MMS fix has continued to work for all my roms. If I do go back to sense ever I may mes s around with the Wildfire rom and see if I can figure it out but gotta say thanks to you all. Beats my Optimus V by a long shot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeslieAnn:
Is Flash working on Kushdecks? After 30 minutes of trying to get Flash installed, I found it isn't working on AOKP.:mad:

I would kill to get Sense MMS finally working.

I went through the Evo roms looking for deodexed roms with similar Sense version to the Wildfire and the two Shooter roms seemed the most likely to work, unfortunately neither did.

And yeah, this blows the OV out of the water. No regrets on buying this and spending the time on it. Totally worth it.

By the way, Virgin announced 4G in select areas by mid-year. That means new phones, so I did some looking and fond that ZTE just announced a new cdma 4g phone, 1200 processor and I think 3.7 or 4in screen. Any bets as to whether Virgin grabs it. :mad:

From what I am seeing on Howard forums, they are starting to bleed customers over bad phones and slow internet. Granted they may be gaining a lot due to the economy, but seriously, how many surveys have they sent out asking if people wanted better phones? Enough already, give us the better phones. Why ask if all you are going to do give us is cheap, slow ZTE crap? Blah, whatever. I have the phone I like at this point on a plan that works for me.

I know. I thought it'd be a funny joke since we're talking about 4g.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brooksyx:
I would assume the 4g (in the US) would be on LTE and not Wimax since sprint is supposed to be launching their LTE network soon. So sadly wouldnt work with our epics or evos but would be nice for future phones. I would love to run the galaxy nexus w/ 4g for $25 a month. How sick would that be?

Of course I could be wrong and they could plan on using wimax but I highly doubt it.

Nice. Let me know if u can get it working on virgin mobile. I will be so jealous if you do. I definitely plan on getting one once it comes to sprint. Not sure whether I want to run it for sprint or VM. I'm not to concerned about having 4g. 3g is good enough for me and usually so is 300 mins but people keep calling me haha.

I always make an excuse to ignore the call and text them saying I can't talk on the phone but I can text lol. Has anyone tried flashing it over to any other company yet?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brooksyx:
Well its my parents and my buddy from back home. I don't mind talking to them, not once have I gone over 300 mins. Not sure if anyone has gotting working on other carriers yet. As far as I know people can't get it into diagnostic mode. Seems like the biggest hurdle so far.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gatorlee:
If you port your number to google voice you can use Groove IP, on the 35 dollar a month plan. The app works terribly on lower processing power phones but on higher ones it's super smooth. Virtually eliminates the need for minutes. That is one of the primary reasons I was so interested in VM.

I wanted to switch donor phone from a lg optimus v to a samung restore cuz I found one on craigslist for 10 bucks. Thing is it's got a messed up screen can anyone upload a video on installing the diag drivers and any keypresses I may have to make.

I got camtasia if you need it

That reminds me I used the optimus s rom on my optimus v just for the hell of it. I got different ha and aaa passwords. I think someone was wondering if the aaa password was device or carrier specific

Has anyone tried the mms fix for Miui or anyome tried putting it on a cm9 build? Just curious
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeslieAnn:
I've tried without success:

CIUI, Mazwoz, Mik, MIUI, SOS, Shooter

Basically if it's not pretty much a pure CM7 or CM9, you will not have mms.

I tried a bunch of others but I was doing it wrong so I'm no longer sure on them.

What does work:

AOKP ICS (Patch is back a bit) works good, but Flash didn't work for me.

Cm7 nightlies (rom posted back a bit) Everything works, including Flash. I also have a beta version of Harmonia (on request)

Decks ICS flash works, not as tuneable as AOKP.

You might have luck with Decks GB, but I haven't tested yet.

Closest I have gotten with Sense is I managed to get some files changed out from the Wildfire and CM and keep it from crashing the phone. It still only did the 9999 thing though, so lots of work for zero progress. That is still better than it was when I first started changing out Wildfire S parts, where the phone was crashing.

Has anyone experimented with flashing the phone then activating, as opposed to flashing an already activated phone? That is my next test but I am waiting on my new to me epic 4g to arrive.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeslieAnn:
There is no way to activate an Evo on Virgin.

You need to activate the donor phone, then do it. Virgin handles all activation OTA, and until that is done, your phone probably will not have all of the info you would need. I wouldn't want to setup a phone only to find some of the settings were wrong after activating. Besides, what if the donor has an issue, now you would have to start over with a new phone.

I could be wrong and it could work fine (other than no activate button), but why risk doing that for no reason?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gatorlee:
Well I'll report when I get the epic. I wonder if that activation apk could be modified per the phone that is flashed?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeslieAnn:
Unfortunately no.

The APK makes use of hidden menus, not built into the Activate app.

The activate app won't work on CM roms, and rarely even works between Virgin phones. You can't even use an Optimus Slider Activate app on the Optimus V, I unsuccesfully tried to use that to update the Activate app on Harmonia and use it on CM.

I do have an idea that may work, I'll report back on it if it does, but I still wouldn't count on it working on something like the Epic.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weinerwad3000:
So I've called Virgin twice and emailed them twice and they said they aren't able to give me the msl. The people on the phone didn't understand what I was asking for and the email said its against their terms of service to give it to me. Did you ask for the spc or msl? Did you talk to a regular rep or tech support? I'm trying to get the msl for a samsung restore cuz the port is locked so I can't use cdma workshop.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeslieAnn:
There are places online that can give you the MSL, just search Google.

Howards forums sometimes have links to some as well in the appropriate forums.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brooksyx:
Depending on what phone you have as a donor its not to difficult to find you SPC code via PC software. I recommend when you do find it that you change it to 000000 :p
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weinerwad3000:
I know how it works but my phones USB port is locked and i need the msl to unlock it because the computer doesn't recognize the phone. If enough people posted their msl and esn number (which I don't suggest anyone do on a public forum) we could reverse engineer the algorithm and make a virgin mobile msl calculator. Its not an android phone so I can't use msl reader. If I could get a system dump I might be able to find it but without the msl I don't think its possible. My only chance it seems is to reverse engineer the algorithm and make a calculator. If anyone is willing to forfeit this information I could do my best to make a calculator and post it. This way we could use cheaper phones to do the process and would be a great help to the community.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UncivilSavage:
Cdma tools and diag drivers are all you need
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weinerwad3000:
What part of "my USB port is locked" is everyone having trouble comprehending. Obviously you guys haven't dealt with a phone with a locked USB. No cdma tool can connect to the phone without unlocking the USB. There was a similiar problem with the LG touch but someone found an exploit that worked to unlock the port but this method doesn't work on a Samsung restore. Namely because its not an LG. The only way to connect this phone to a cumputer is to dial ##7678# and enter the msl code and select unlock. After this point the computer is able to read the device.

All the places I've seen charge money and they mainly only work for blackberry. If you have a link could you please provide it as I've scoured through many forums and websites in search of a method to aquire this bastard msl.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinydude100:
Have you tried the simple connectbot-> local> 'getprop MSL.ril' method? It'll provide you the MSL code.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weinerwad3000:
I need more details. If your talking about an app or going into the file system like I said before this is not an android. Its a Samsung restore. Its like a slightly better version of the LG rumor 2.

Hi . well it's totally unessassary in the paid version of cdma. version 3.80 just enter the number you want and presto ! they all can be repaired . i am stuck without data .I see no way to pull aaa auth keys from a LG Optimus V because they are in the NVM folder and it's locked . you cant read it . Soo . voice and text only unless some one has a way to calculate the aaa auth keys there will never be data , just voice and text .or someone needs a new radio flash to set the attrubuits to that folder to read only other wise no way.

You need dfs explorer or lgnpst or both. Get the proper .dll file and you should have no problem pulling the keys.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] highhacker:
If your donor is an Lg optimus V then there is no way to get the secret AAAkeys . the folder they are in EFS system is locked . I have every program PAID and cannot unlock it . The only way i see is before you activate the optimus you must flash a new RADIO file that has the Attribuits of the nmv folder unlocked . I have tried all the programs including qpst qdmx cdma DFS ETC.... it wont read them or let you change that attrubuits of that folder . And Unfortunatly voice and text is all we got . and wifi . Comments?

Oh there are three versions of the Lg optimus V - one with 2.2.1 and two with 2.2.2 . tried them all .. BTW . they are cheap on ebay . you can pick un the samsung or the optimus for less than 40 bucks with a clear esn ready to activate .

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

It's because you have to have at least 1x working first..at least thats what i fihured out on all my optimus v's .. it will do that if there is no data whatsoever but if yo have at least !x it activates.

EDit .. I was wrong about the akeys . and with those the sky is the limits on what phone you want on vm

You can't use qxdm to do it. You need dfs or lgnpst. Its definitely doable.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeslieAnn:
There ARE no radios to flash. Please don't unless you like paperweights that look like phones.

And yes, you can get those codes, at least 4 people I know have done it.

This is how you get them.

The LGnpst however MUST be the LAB version, normal Lgnpst will not do it.

Yes, they are locked down pretty good until you slap them with Lab, then they fall over and hand you everything no problem.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeslieAnn:
No need to be scared of the Optimus V.

Avoid Rom Manager and don't reset from the privacy menu and that phone is almost indestructible. the recovery you want for it is Bobzhome, not Amon Ra.

I softbricked mine several times, boot looped it who knows how many times, and flashed it several hundreds of times. Not to mention the bounce checks it has gotten, it's a tough little thing. Never could hurt it.

For what it is and was, it's a fantastic little phone.

interesting thread

OK... so, I know VM sometimes will remote kill if they sense another phone [not supported] on the network; so, I suppose I need to hear from all the pros here and there... then again, probably switching after 3/25; so, I'll take my chances. So, I'm a hobbyist (don't like to call myself a dev) on MarvelUSc (HTC Wildfire S - CDMA) got the Evo 4G (also cdma) and CDMA Workshop :) Where do we go from here?

BTW I just picked this because it's the most recent post regarding WFS... and I was tired of reading backwards through the forum... but Leslie here is right... VM is finicky with MMS on the WFS... experience problems with that first on ports and new bootloaders (that's on native (doner) phone). Sadly, we don't have a working cm7 on WFS cdma as of yet, but killing the sense mms and going with Go SMS seems to help sometimes... dunnow why that is, but ::shrug:: if it works it works.

Thanks in advance.

How do you know this? What do you mean by remote kill?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insink71:
ok sorry

replace ”know” with ”have read that” and a remote kill would be a cancellation of your acct without need for notification; which, in turn kills service to the device you are using. Sounds a bit worse than it actually is ;) They are fully within their right to do so if/when they deem anyone has broken their TOS. but it could have been VM somewhere other than USA; as, I often get confused by VM Canada literature and there is VM UK etc etc... but It is what I've read not what I know.. my apologies.

Rob

Also, i'm fairly sure no exec is ”chomping at the bit” to kill your device.. if you're technically proficient enough to have put a non-VM phone on their service, your probably technical enough to get on Facebook and tell your 500+ friends what they did to you and how bad VM sucks yada yada yada. So, they probably would issue some kind of warning... like a text or something here in the US. All that is conjecture though.. or just my opinion.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brooksyx:

One thing I have found with companies to be almost universal, they won't stop you from paying them, so long as it's not costing them money.

How would you like to be the CEO and tell your investors that you just spent a bunch of money to detect and kick good paying customers.

You just spent money, to lose income, if I was an investor I would be telling that CEO to update their resume because they are going to need it.
