[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weinerwad3000:
So here's the dilemma. I've been trying to get my sister's evo on Virgin for months now but I can't get the data working. I keep telling her to get an optimus v or an intercept but she doesn't have the money right now so I'm working with an LG Rumor 2. I have all the ha and AAA passwords but it just doesn't seem to work. At one point I did have a 3G symbol but still no data but I think I was pretty close. I can't for the life of me get the 3G symbol back now however. I've tried putting in the AAA in string and hex as well as the HA and also a combination of both. In the picture below is the donor phone. I circled the active user because on the donor its set for 2. I've tried making the active user 2 on the evo but it doesn't stick. It automatically sets it back to 1. What I have done to try to correct this problem is switch profiles 1 and 2 so that the otasp@prov.vmobl.com is the active profile but still no go. The only other thing that I can figure is that under the ppp config is a username but I don't know how to find out what the password is. I've tried using QXDM but nothing has worked thus far. I'm hoping and praying one of you can help me. This is super frustrating and I'm not even sure if it's possible with this phone. Technically the donor only has 2.5G instead of 3G but I'm not even getting 1x. You would think it would get something unless the Evo just isn't set up for that kind of data, but it should at least be getting 1x. That would be better than nothing. Any help is much appreciated and if anyone is able to help me get this working you can be assured that I will definitely donate money to you.

I found that every virgin phone I've used was this:

Profile 0: 00000000@mdata.vmobl.com

Ha spi 21EF same for AAA and the rest 0s

Profile 1: Meid@mdata.vmobl.com

Profile 2: meid@prov.vmobl.com

Under dfs go to the data tab the second line under uid is esn@vmobl.com

Skip two spaces and enter 00000000@mdata.vmobl.com

Right under enter meid@mdata.vmobl.com make sure to enter AAA in every password section too.

Strange since Decks won't patch.

I'll see if I can get it working.

It's stripped down to be more like basic GB. Stock GB style launcher, and as much stripped from CM as possible to be closer to GB (it still has most options though). It also contains basic Gapps, Gmail, Play, and all supporting files, but nothing else.

It tends to run a bit faster than stock CM and a bit less work to get going since you don't need to flash gapps. Think of it as stock style GB with CM tweaks in the settings menu.

Holy crap it works!

I managed to actually get the MIUIv4 ICS rom to take the mms patch! And it actually works too! I was able to send and recieve an mms. Now I haven't had a chance to test this rom so I have no idea how it runs or performs at all, but I can say that mms definitely works :D

Hopefully the rom devs wont kill me for doing this but below is a link to a nice prepatched zip ready for flashing. It's slightly bigger than the original rom since I screwed up the zip compression upon recompressing the archive, but its no biggie.

MAJOR thanks to brooksyx for the initial instructions, constrictor25 for the idea to do this, and LesliAnne for her amazing Harmonia (on both the optimus v and the evo :D) as well as the AOKP28 patch I took apart to patch this with.

Managed to get another ICS hardware accelerated rom working.

Here is a patched version of MazWoz's ICS Beta 5 patched for virgin mobile mms.

MazWoz-EVO-B5 VMOPATCHED.zip

Be sure to install gapps as well.

This rom is quite a bit snappier than the miui ics I posted earlier. I haven't tested this rom much so I can't comment on battery life, however the MIUI ICS battery life with masons 0.14 hwa sbc kernel (the file you're looking for is Mason-v0.14-ics-sbc-hwa-supersonic-signed.zip) is about equal (standby time is a bit less, but usage time is similar) to Leslie's Harmonia 2 CM7.

I'm gonna try my hand on a Sense rom next and see how far I get.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeslieAnn:
Hmm, Mazwozz didn't work the first few times I tried it (I think I did get oen version working though, I don't remember, done too many at this point), and it's based on Decks as well I think. Makes me think they changed something in the framework, I know a few OV tweaks had been pushed up into some other roms and that could have done it.

Sense is trickier.

Most roms are odexed, so you will need to de-odex before you can do it. I found a few already done but none of them would take the patch. Also, the APNS settings are located in a completely different place. I tried the cdmsdisp from CM7, CM9 and the VM Wildfire S, all with no luck. Thought at one point, one stopped force closing, so that may have worked.

Now that I know my MMS test method has quit working, I can't be entirely sure of any that didn't work before.

By the way, that MIUI works good.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c6comp:
Seems like they did, because that miui was based on it too. It's weird lol. And out of curiosity, what was your MMS test method?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UncivilSavage:

In mms, you can send it to an email address and back that way. For some reason it's stopped working.

Seems like to get the MMS working on sense rom we need the right cdmaSMSdispatcher.smali to get it to work. I tried the Wildfire S one and it just kept force closing and restarting the cell radio.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c6comp:
GOOD NEWS!

I've gotten somewhere with sense. I took the swagged out stock X 2.0.8 deodexed rom and managed to somewhat get mms working. I took all of the cdmasms*** smalis from the framework.jar as well as the apns.xml from the framework-res.apk and I modified the build.prop from the JmzWildfirev1.5 rom.

MMS works kind of. I was able to, after lots of fcs from both the statusbar (no idea why) and com.android.phone (my guess is this is related to either cdmasmsdispatcher.smali or something to do with telephony.db which I did not modify) send an MMS to a buddy. The com.android.phone fcs restarted the radio, while the statusbar fcs had no visible effect I could see (status bar did not redraw). I did not do a logcat because frankly I despise sense and only did this to see if it was possible. The 3g data connection otherwise appears stable aside from when using the messaging app. Perhaps trying another app such as go sms would yield better results. More testing is needed and I don't have the time for it currently.

So, to summarize. While using the default messaging app you can send an mms (proof: my phone, buddies phone, phone info, mms settings). However, upon receiving either an sms or mms you get an fc, the radio restarts, and you don't actually recieve the message.

Another idea is that for metropcs they patched the actual mms.apk in sense 3.5 (link to thread) along with eri.xml, voicemail-conf.xml, and some sqlite databses (I didn't touch any of these). Perhaps this is the reason for all the fcs?

But hey at least the damn thing boots and sends an mms. Anyway, here is the link to the patched rom.

SOS_X_2.0.8-D_VMOPATCHED.zip

REMOVED. SEE WARNING POST #560

My plan is to give sense one final shot with a sense 3.5 rom since there appear to be plenty of them for the wildfire.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeslieAnn:
I actually managed to get it to not force close.

Trying to remember what I did, but I went through all of the Sense roms looking for the closest numerically I could that was deodexed. I am pretty sure it was TN Shooter that I used.

I used the disp, as well as the MMS file from the wildfire, I tweaked the build.prop and added the apns xml, even though it doesn't use it, and the deodexed sense rom. I also used APNS backup to backup the APNS settings from CM7.

MMS didn't work, but as mentioned before, my test method has failed, so it may have worked. At any rate, the rom booted and did not force close. I then used APNS backup to restore the APNS setings in case it didn't take the file.

That was as close as I got.

Use the MMS apk, that may be the final missing component.

Damn it I feel stupid now. I made sure I got sense 2.0 roms from both the evo and wildfire but it didn't occur to me to simply swap mms apks. Why didn't I think of that looool. I'll try it out tomorrow. Got school in the morning and don't feel like restoring my nand backup again.

Ninja Edit: Damn it. My flashing addiction has taken over again. Trying it with the mms.apk from the wildfire rom atm.

---------- Post added at 05:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 AM ----------

Nope. Doesn't work. The app doesn't even start and as soon as you hit it, the radio dies. However, I think we are getting close. If the mms app has the ability to kill the radio, and receiving an mms or sms kills the radio, i think the mms app is to blame, and not the framework.

---------- Post added at 05:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 AM ----------

Nope again. Tried sending both mms and sms with go sms pro and neither works. Instant fc from com.android.phone and com.android.mms. Oddly enough though, the radio did not die. Nothing works with the mms.apk from the wildfire. So the mms.apk definitely does have something to do with it, but I don't think its the whole solution.

WARNING! DO NOT FLASH THE SENSE ROM ABOVE

It seems to reset your MEID *and ESN (nv items 0 and 1943) to the phones actual default value. 3g keys dont seem to be affected. Just meid and esn. PRL or baseband does not change either.

And I really really doubt it has anything to do with the MazWoz ICS I am running considering that you can't even put the radio in diag mode let alone access it with qpst on anything other than a stock based sense rom.

follow up question on the tutorial guide

First, thanks for taking the time to write the Evo4G tutorial guide. I'm a bit of a novice to the world of flashing androids, but I've been a computer guy for 16 years and I am well versed at "read the f'ing manual".

I noticed a couple mentions to a tutorial with pictures, but the one I downloaded is text only. Can someone perhaps post a link to the tutorial with pics?

I've probably spent 3-4 hours so far and I'm still stuck in the beginning stages, I had a heck of a time figuring out how to get the LGPST installed correctly, and once I did, I couldn't figure out why I couldn't browse to the ls670.dll file. Through a lot of trial and error (mostly error), I've at least got the LGPST figured out so I'm getting there. If nothing else at least I'm persistent :D

thanks for posting that .pdf guide!

Ah, that's what I was looking for, thanks so much!

My problem with the LGNPST tool was that I was trying to use version 1.2, and no matter what I did I couldn't browse to the .dll files - nothing would show up. I finally found a youtube video and I noticed the guy was using version 1.2.0, and in addition I guess I was somehow missing some of the required files in the various folders as well. Pretty confusing. Anyway, once I got 1.2.0 installed I was able to browse to the .dll's right away and read my phone.

Appreciate the guide, I'm hoping to have my Evo up and running in the next day or so.

Umm might be.. does it reveal AAA Shared Secret?

I have been stymied trying to pull that from phone. I also couldn't find HA but I've been told that is always the same thing.

I've been able to access all other needed info. The mms.apk though with that Rom doesn't stand alone. There's a htcmessagesettings.apk that is of particular interest (the HTC not capped - probably added by carrier).

caution

Yeah I screwed up my phone and had to request first ever replacement (since Oct 2010) (on any of the Android devices I've owned).

Be VERY careful in those settings. Since we don't have method of reading aaa shared secret (for wfs), if you mess them up you're stuck with no data (except WiFi).. I used ##3282# (or ##DATA#) to read same info, but accidently miskeyed something... Then my mistake hit menu, then revert.. DON'T DO THIS.. It deletes the data profile.. instead opt to carefully back out via the back button, don't commit or revert via that menu.. either could land you in embarrasment town.. where I took a visit.

I do know if you type back in all that info (same as before) it will throw error 67 msging at you and still not work (thus my quest for the shared secret info continues)

Flashed MEID to Evo, worked, but getting error message when making call

Thanks to the very good guide written by Uncivil Savage, I've got all the necessary info off my Optimus V phone, and I was able to successfully zero out my Evo 4G. Next step was to write the MEID from my donor Optimus V to my Evo. It was successful! I did my little prospector dance as suggested in the instructions :D

At that point I should have been able to have phone and text (but nothing else), so I wanted to test it. I pulled the battery, rebooted the phone...and no joy :(

Under phone information, it shows the correct MEID of my donor phone, but it still shows the original owner's phone number and the original owner's sprint ID. When I try to make a call, I get a canned message to the effect of "your device could not be ..... on our network"...."error 5 (I think)...switch....?" Sorry I don't have the exact wording because the phone isn't with me right now.

How do I do the handsfree activation on the Evo to join the Virgin network?

I saw on a youtube video of a guy flashing his Evo to Boost, he did a handsfree activation to get it to "join" the Boost network. Does the same apply to flashing the Evo to Virgin? It just seems that somehow I need to activate the phone to let it know to join the Virgin network.

Is there anything I need to change on the Evo in CDMA tools? Do I need to write the SPC of the original donor Optimus V to the Evo? How about the phone number that still shows as the orig. owner's phone number on the Evo? Should I change that to my phone number in CDMA Tools?

Must be another problem...meid calculated the esn

Now that I think about it, after I couldn't get it working last night, I plugged the phone in and read it out in CDMA workshop. I confirmed that the MEID and the ESN were both correct from my donor phone. So I guess that by writing the MEID to the phone, it automatically calculated the ESN.

I did the MEID write in the QXDM using the RequestNVItemWrite Meid 0x00A....... command and it worked fine.

Since the MEID command worked in QXDM, that's where I stopped - I didn't go onto the next part of the process where you scan the memory in CDMA workshop since the tutorial guide said that the QXDM method was easier and faster.

Dang, now I'm stuck - everything I've done to this point appears to have worked fine, no errors, no problems...it's just that the phone isn't working.
