[EVO 4G Android Development] birdisthewordfella:
Okay, I have a strange situation here. It might be an account issue, but I don't know how to check this. First and foremost, I was wondering if there was any way to enter a debugging or verbose mode for this phone to view what is happening with 3g when its trying to connect, the mobile radio, i just want to see what in the heck its doing but I can't seem to find any diagnostic or debugging mode to enter. Please, if you know of any way to diagnose this, I would be very grateful.

Here is the situation: I have flashed many phones many times and can do it in my sleep until about a couple weeks ago. I have flashed a droid eris, moto droid, droid incredible all over to the cricket network with full functionality. For HTC devices, I simply do the qpst dance, 2.7, on x64 windows7 using htc sync's diag driver. (I just load the sync software, do ##diag# let it recognize, and reboot until it does then it shows up fine). All my settings are always correct, I've done it over a hundred times for myself and others, and I use token419 (the MAN) cricket eris v10.zip and flash that, and MAYBE have to reboot a couple times to get it to go.

Okay, so just by using token419's zip, autorun, qpst, $45 plan, I can get it all going and everything is great. All of the sudden I flashed one for someone and it died on them. So I got it and tried to flash it again (droid incredible) and it wouldn't work. However, the eris, same method to flash, works just great no problem whatsoever. (Hang on if you are thinking this needs to be moved this is about the evo). Okay, so after the incredible, I can get talk text to go, but it won't have 3g. So we got a EVO.

Now, I have tried flashing the evo using the same method as I mentioned. However, before with the incredible, it would not get on the internet, mobile would just say "Turning on..." be kinda grey, and never turn on, but maybe flash the 3g every now and then. So i thought it was the phone and used a known incredible that was working. Same issue, not the phone. But, the eris works. So I got fed up, got an evo.

Now with the EVO, I know my settings are correct, but when I do the ppp config, in qpst 2.7, the part where you do the UM and AN settings and input your tethered nai, the middle tab (forgot which one doing this from memory at the moment) the user names are both BLACKED out with little red X's around the border, however, the third tab (UM or AN) is not, but like usual the tethered nai or the first username box is greyed out, second one is fine, then there is the password section and thats fine on both of them. If you know what I am talking about, let me know if that is normal, I will post screens.

Okay, so Now my evo is fully flashed with this rom, I used the token419 solution, qpst is correct, (i did a *228 and reprgrammed PST) and verified it ##data# and it looks good to go. However, no 3g icon, no nothing.

I am worried that it might be writing to the phone strangely. I am using windows 7 x64 with the HTC Diag drivers from the HTC Sync program, QPST 2.7 and CDMA WS 2.7 (the old crappy one just to read the MSL code).

Oh and I did reset the SPC unlock code to all zeroes so thats good to go too. I did the memory read using CDMA ws, via sending the hex code to the phone.

Things i NOTICED!!! Very important: When using token419's solution, if I have it enabled, WiFi don't work either. If i deny autostart super user privalages via superuser app, (changing the state) then WiFi works when I reboot and Autostart doesn't run the token solution. If I have autostart enabled, then no wifi access.

STRANGE! please help me find a way to diagnose this if you can, I'm using cm7 and I don't get the pop ups with sprint pcs vision. When i switch to Jiminy (which I am using now and before I did this) I get all kinds of popups about not being able to log in. You said to do Simple IP a few posts back, was that in response to that issue? I'll try it though I'm sure its set up. I'll post some more info as I'm seeing a couple of dudes with similiar problems but they either don't get an answer, or they fixed it and just don't post back.

Thanks guys:cool:

UPDATE: Okay, still no service. I am getting a popup error 98.

I have no 3g icon at all. I am upgraded to the $55 android plan, and I have used the APN. I deleted all of them, and restored using a modified copy with MY 10 Digi-number. So thats all set up. However, wifi works. I am NOT, I repeat, NOT using token419's zip file at this point because I am on the $55 plan.

I keep getting, "Error Code 98 .Network Error. Sign In Failed. blah blah you may need to contact sprint" if you want the full message, let me know, but I'm sure you probably seen it a 1000 times. I can dump my pst settings and send them if its safe to do so. PM me if you can help me and I will send the qpst file, dont wanna post too much garbage up

UPDATE: so i kept trying it and kept trying it. Finally, in QPST 2.7, under PPP Config tab, "Tethered NAI" and "Username" had the black boxes with the red X's around them. BUT, i just clicked it anyway and pasted in the number@mycricket.com and it turned white, both boxes. It finally worked this time?!?! How strange, after I post this. But anyways, so I input those settings, and I finally got a 3g icon. But it would just do the sending and just blick on the receive once or twice and of course this means no connection.

I reboot several times but had to use token419's v10.zip to get it going. So far, this is the only way I can get it to go on any phone, never been able to use anycut wap stuff, or the APN, and it works fine so far.

Youtube app just says sorry cant play a video, even if I am using the web browser to play it. Whats up with that? Well, its working now on the 55 plan. Hope someone benefits from this in some way else i just did a whole lot of talking to myself haha
