Could somebody PLEASE post screens of an average of 3 pre 1.40 speedtest and the same with the updated pri?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jblazea50:
Just call them up and ask for it. If they ask why you need it, just say something like you need to change one of the settings. I did that and it took about few minutes.

Yes, this is the easiest way to update PRI. It took me 3 tries, but it worked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DomSim:
no it wasn't. you idea involved unrevoked forever and flashing stock 2.2. others, including myself mentioned bypassing that and just using the ##786# on any rom. you said that it had to be done your way. and now that it turns out you don't, you change tunes and want all the credit. your thread IS what was responsible for bringing the right, easy, solution to light though. if you hadnt come in and acted like a e-gangsta with your myspace typing and ethug attitude, enough people would not have gathered to figure this out. so, out of the ashes of your thread comes a working method.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jblazea50:
The speed test may not show anything as the PRI may help some, while for others, it will remain the same. It depends on location as far as I'm concerned.

I just called and got it, very easy. She was confused so I want to confirm its a 6 digit number. I had her read it to me twice but she sounded a bit confused..... I just want to confirm 6 digits is right....

[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
6 digits is correct. If it happens not to be your MSL it simply won't work, it won't break anything if you enter a bad/incorrect MSl at an 'enter your MSL' prompt.
[EVO 4G Android Development] timtlm:
LMAO! Exactly. He got lucky. There's only one step in his method that is necessary, and he didn't even have it in the original instructions when he first posted the thread. Plus it was thought of before, but didn't work because apparently it doesn't work 100% of the time.

Just to add to the thoughts, I am in no way shape or form trying to achieve a bounty status. I was just sitting on my couch watching the saints game and I thought what the heck...did a master reset and whoot there it is! WHO DAT did it not sure but he probably holds the key...root root!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mhaedo:
Agreed..........
[EVO 4G Android Development] edtate:
Hmmm, this is interesting. So it will be harder to tell if the pri actually "does" much in the way of increasing data speeds. Thing is most prl updates show a noticeable difference in data speeds, and so do radio updates (for better or worse lol). Even if it "may" not show a difference for all, at least some evidence of it making a difference would be appreciated for further reference.
[EVO 4G Android Development] crypt0kiddie:
OK so i enter the msl, let it do its reboot etc, it reboots to what looks like a stock rom and it says the dialer app something mms or another forced close. I click ok and it pops right back up. I hit ok about 100 times, it pops back up as fast as I can hit ok so I cant even look to see if anything worked.

Any thoughts?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nugzo:
I called sprint and told them i was having issues and needed to reset my phone, said it happened a few weeks ago too and i cant find where the MSL code is that i had written down. They wanted to walk me through the ##7 but i said i was on that particular phone and that i remembered how to do it, could i just get the number and i would handle the rest, they gave it up at that time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] apexi350z:
Well, it wasn't too hard, so might as well. I was on Fresh 3.1.0.1 rom, but flashed to Stock 2.2 rooted rom just to make sure. nandroid restored back after I got the update.

Did a test on speedtest.net app for 3g/4g prior to update, and after update, it didn't make any difference for me. I am getting similar speed result.

btw, it took me 4 reboot to get the update. it did test my patient though ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohack99:
Why can't you just go to updates and update the prl? Doesn't that also check for pri? I tried ten times with no luck

Sent from my netarchy_toast, froyo beast of a machine evo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] LearnIIBurn:
Yeah same here dude. Activation won't go through now. My data is hosed as well. Maybe tomorrow? Hope we didn't ruin our phones somehow.
[EVO 4G Android Development] althis:
same thing happened to me but after three or four tries, might wind up calling sprint

"your activation could not be completed. to try again, choose "update profile" in the system updates area of settings. if the problem persists, you may need to contact customer service. error code: 1012"

update profile came up with the same message

##786# FINALLY worked for me today after I flashed "HTC-OTA-3.26.651.6-Final-Froyo-Rooted-Odexed-netarchy-signed". I've been trying it with other custom ROMs since Friday night with no luck but going stock seemed to do the trick.

Now I can go back to my CM nightly nandroid.
[EVO 4G Android Development] spidyspidey:
Me too, but I can still get data and voice.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ticklemepinks:
damn killed my data now... wtf if i get my data back I give up!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Negrito:
im in the same boat. i tried at least 25 times and even on different roms... tried with freshrom, the htc stock rooted, and still no go. and sprints website is down so i cant even look up programming directions. weaksauce.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ticklemepinks:
wow voice is gone too!!! wtf!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Systemfraud:
Yeah, my data is hosed as well as you guys, can't make calls either, and as posted above their site is down. Maybe that's why we can't do anything right now? Maybe they crashed because of us? >_>...shot in the dark
[EVO 4G Android Development] N00dle:
yep toasted mine too and I have only tried 4 times. Was fine until I got off work about 3am and tried again. Damn
[EVO 4G Android Development] speedoraycer:
Pretty sure this is a problem over on Sprint's side of things (server crashed?). I've lost data (haven't checked voice yet) and tried just about everything myself, but out of curiousity, I checked on my gf's evo (which is rooted but haven't tried updating PRI) and looked under 'system updates' - 'update profile' and lo and behold - same error code:1012 (of course she has 3g data and the phone works fine).

Maybe Sprint's doing a major overhaul on their servers so we can all get PRI 1.40 every single time on the first try...wishful thinking...hoping this is resolved in a couple hours. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] Warboy:
yea im down as well, error 1012. I dont even have voice, it says my number is 000-000-0### (### are some random numbers)

but I do have pri 1.40 now.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Systemfraud:
What the heck do we do guys? :( I'm freakin' out right now! (Simply because my girlfriend has to go to the hospital and has no way to reach me right now because my phone's out.) But really, what do you guys think could be going on? :O
[EVO 4G Android Development] eeeeeeeeek:
was able to make a call, no data though
[EVO 4G Android Development] Warboy:
I just talked to sprint, they said ALL of the activation system is down for maintenance, they can't even force activation till 7amEST, 6am CST, 5am MST, 4am PST. So every form of activation WILL FAIL, till their systems come back online.
[EVO 4G Android Development] speedoraycer:
Ok... So at the risk of waking up my sleeping gf, i called sprint technical support and she basically told me what we thought was going on - that they're updating the system and it should be good to go in a couple of hours.

She couldn't even do anything herself till the system was back on and told me to call back when they're updated but I'm thinking we should be able to update OTA by then and reactivate and all that good nonsense.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Warboy:
I just posted that....

[EVO 4G Android Development] Warboy:
No problem, I had this because I was switching from rooted DeO rom to cyo RC2 and wanted PRL 1.4 in the process....

Tech Support guy said, it was just bad luck due to their systems bring down.

[EVO 4G Android Development] meinstein1987:
In st. Pete florida in the 33702 region after many attempts to 786 no luck.: on my way to a brunch I stop at a point where I got full signal (was about 10 min away in the area of 33708 in st.Pete) and 786 on first try got the 1.4 pri.

From the looks of it seems like full signal is where best results happen haven't really noticed a change though
[EVO 4G Android Development] crypt0kiddie:
OK this is wack...

I've posted that I tried this crap about 50+ times, seriously. I gave up. Then I tried another dozen or so times. I gave up again. I Nandroid'ed back to my Fresh Rom 1.0.1, and went back to things as normal.

Today I was out in the middle of no where, **** signal so I set my phone to "Forced Roaming" thanks to a phone.apk hack for 2.1 that Calkulin made.

I got home, I set it back to "Automatic" but it wouldn't come off Roaming so I set it to Sprint and it finally did. Then I set it back to Auto.

For some random reason I JUST decided to look at my "software" and what do I see?

PRI 1.40_003

Wtf... I'm 100% positive I haven't done the 3282 or 786 anymore and the LAST time I did it and checked it said 1.34 still. Did I miss something?

On a side note, my speed test I just did was a little slower actually then I was on 1.34... Not sure why.

Not lucky in S. LA yet.

So far I've tried both the ##3282 and ##786# methods a few dozen times each, some one DC 3.5 and some on the rooted but otherwise completely stock Evo 2.2 ROM with no success.

The success/failure rate of these procedures is both interesting and confusing. There is just no sense to it at all.

Guess that I'll keep trying. Good luck to all!

After 3 days trying from home, in South Orange NJ, with no success, I decide to try at work, Newark, NJ, ##768# using stock rooted odexed 2.2 and got the 1.40 on the second try.

[EVO 4G Android Development] stylz3:
I finally got mine to work using ##786# method. I believe I performed it like 4 times before I was actually able to see the PRI ver. 1.40.x. I was able to obtain this by running freseh 3.1.x. Unfortunately I couldn't get the # codes to work CM6 RC2, but nevertheless, I have the latest PRI.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bigman55434:
I don't know if it is related, but for the first time ever I saw a small amount of roaming data usage (42kb) on the day I was able to get PRI 1.40 using this method. I am in a somewhat weak sprint coverage area as well, but there was never any indication I was roaming. In fact, I have never seen any data roaming at my home on this phone, my previous TP2, or prior phones. Does it mean anything? Probably not, but still it's weird.

My story...

Started trying on Friday using ##3282# and probably did it 20 times from several different locations. No luck. Tried a couple times this weekend and again this morning. No luck.

Decided to try doing the ##786# method. Didn't work first time through, but it did the second...finally! :D

Didn't do any wipes, and was running Fresh 3.1.0.1. Located in central Indiana.
[EVO 4G Android Development] srtpusher:
ok.. i have done both methods at least 10 times each on netarchy's stock rooted after an nand backup. one thing i have noticed is when my phone programs, it programs to the number i originally activated it under, not the number that it is assigned to. i have to manually program to get the correct # and MSID into the device. could this be an issue?

i will keep flashing and erasing till i get it, i guess

****UPDATE****

holy CARP!!! that did it. i had not programmed my phone # and then rebooted to see if PRI 1.40 was there. so the last time i did this - ##786# - reset - activated - check PRI = 1.34 - ##MSL# - reprogrammed NAM & MSID to correct #s - committeed - rebooted and BAM!!! 1.40

WHEW!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] blueblur:
HAI GUYZ

Just wanted to chime in...

I was able to do it using the ##786# method after trying it 10 to 15 times (it seemed like forever) as well as trying the ##data# method... but ultimately it was the wipe version that did it. It was so disappointing to check each time and it was still in the old PRI mode but finally it worked!

Journey said it best: Don't stop believing! lol

My sig has my rom and kernel info..

Big thanks to everyone who made this possible!

EDIT::: so while I was trying to restore my Nandroid -- I kept getting an error: Run nandroid-mobile.sh via adb! Tried Clockwork but it couldnt find the nandroid since it was done in a different recovery mode (Amon_ra)... a quick search on google (I know, shocker!) showed that this message happens if the battery is below 30% or if the space on the SD card is full. In my case, since I was trying so many times to fix the PRI it had drained out.

FYI. DONT PANIC! lol.

I switched to data roaming only & now I cant use voice or data (when roaming). It works fine without that. When roaming comes on (or I force it), I have no data or calls.

I called sprint & they dont seem to know whats wrong.

I explained I updated from PRI 1.34 to PRI 1.40. Any ideas what else to tell them?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dbolot1:
was able to do it:

1: Do a NAND Backup 1st...

2: Used ROM Manager to flash RA recovery then:

3: Dial ##786#

4: Hit Menu

5: Press Reset

6: Enter your MSL 6 digit number

7: Phone will reboot into recovery mode

8: Wipe Cache/Dalvik x2 (I did do it 2 times)

9: Reboot

Hboot .76 and PRI 1.4

Have you tried wipe/flashed stock rooted?

Sorry, more info would probably help.

##3282# and ##786# would work before. Starting yesterday it fails on the Hands Free Activation.

I have voice, but no data.
[EVO 4G Android Development] harold4:
I'd start with a clean stock rooted download and flash and see where that takes you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tinpusher:
I just tried ##786# again, and it failed. I press manual, and it took me to the Sprint Zone. I pressed activate and it did it and rebooted.

Oh well, I give up. Happy to have voice + data back.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ewells38:
TheMike1: Why not cut to the chase and do a ##3282#?

This will allow you to Start the Hands Free Activation Process and update your PRI without forcing you to do a Factory Reset.

Steps:

1. Dial ##3282#

2. Enter Edit Mode

3. Enter your MSL

4. Select Data Profile

5. Menu

6. Restore

7. Let Phone Reboot, and Wait and the Hands Free Activation will Start.

8. Repeat until you have 1.40 PRI.

Just did this method noted above & can confirm that is does work. went from PRI - 1.34_003 to 1.40_003 :D
