3G not working anymore only 1x Data

OK I have had my Evo on Boost for 3 months now and everything has worked perfectly since then. I have flashed countless ROM's like Synergy, EvolvedROM, KingsROM, etc.. and never had a problem. I flashed to MikG v2.xx a 3 days ago and everything worked perfectly as usual, getting 700kbps-800kbps.

About 2 days ago I noticed I started seeing 1x, which I never saw before as I live in a heavy 3G area. All a sudden I tried to use my internet and its going super slow. Super super slow like 30kbps DL. I flashed about 5 other PRL's thinking this would make my 3G come back but no luck. I flashed about 3 different ROMS in the last 2 days to try to fix this problem. NO luck.

I have did ##3282# and reset Profile and ##786# and reset as well. My phone has Activated successfully. Provisioning has worked every time. After about 1 million different things and reading thousands of forum pages I can not get my 3G to work. I am stumped.

Can someone please help me. I have done just about everything I can think of. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you do realize that having any non boost mobile branded phone such as the evo 4g on boost is illegal. What you state about your esn and changing it is illegal! This thread needs to be shut down.... Sprint/boost does not allow any phone to be flashed to boost mobile. You have been warned and reported...

Not sure where to post this but as it is related to this thread a little I figured I would ask here. I have tried searching the forums but have not come with a definitive answer.

I know this works using an Incognito, but will it work using a Sanyo Mirro? Is the Mirro a 3G phone, because I do not want to use a phone that only has 1X. On the battery cover on the back it does say "Qualcomm 3G CDMA" leading me to believe it is. But I wanted to ask first before I go through this whole process only to have a really slow phone.

If the 'donor' phone is a 3g compatible phone once you've flashed it will be a 3g connection only way to know is to try and using the QMAT scripts make this process take less than 20 minutes

Samsung AAA/NV 1192

I can't get my data to work, so I looked around, and noticed that someone said their Samsung wouldn't give the full NV 1192 (AAA shared secret), that the last pair would be missing. I had been seeing that mine started with a "10", and found that odd, as that's what is supposed to be in the length field. So, I need help getting the last pair/digit. I've tried CDMA 2.7, it errors out on NV 1192. I tried QPST, it errors out when I try looking at the NV folder in EFS explorer (is that what I should be using?), and I've tried using QXDM, and it gives me the numbers shifted by one, so I don't get the last pair. I also have QMAT, but I don't know how to use it. Now I also tried BitPim, and the closest things I can find to extract are 1194 and prl_0, neither of which are helping me. :confused:

What have I missed?

Can anyone help me get to that last pair/full AAA shared secret?

question

I know how to flash it by putting all the profiles but i am trying to flash it without activating the incognito with an account prior.

Do i onl have to leave profile 1 alone ( not changing anything.?) and just just make sure that profile 0 has the XXX@sprint.... and put the HA password and AAA in profile 0 and then write to phone (evo?)

all help apreciated. thanks I just want the evo to activate by itself.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperHTCevo:
even though no one answer, I found the way like I say on top, leave profile 1 alone untouched. and connect the evo on cdma workshop and on memory tab make sure that MIN and phone number are zero out like 0000000001 on both.. write to phone and when it power off the phone it should be ready. Now this way you dont actually have to activate the doner prior to the flash, no need to extract NAme@myboostmobile.com because it will provision by itself.

if someone knows how to flash the samsung galaxy 2 epic let me know through a private message.

ok, i read most of this long thread and everyone keep mentioning the AAA shared key and how to get it. ITS VERY SIMPLE!

##DATA#

edit

type MSL

goto username

YOU SEE THE PASSWORD ???? thats your AAA shared secret code in text to get it in HEX simple open your favorite hex editor and type the text in on the right side where it shows the text version and then look over to the left side where it shows hex and WALLA!

i know it is very old, but i attached a pdf i put together a LONG time ago, the point is still the same though

also a hint --- if ya really in a bind, maybe do not know MSL, call sprint and complain data service does not work, they will reset the NAI and have you turn phone on, off, pull battery, yada yad... during all this just ask the rep what the new NAI password is since they reset it

More 3G problems

ok here is my problem and i hope some one has some insight!

i have two devices Sprint epic 4g touch (%100 but programmed to boost) and a evo 3d (s-off, rooted, ojm custom rom also programmed to boost) Both also using 60677 prl

Now the Epic 4g touch works great voice , txt ,1x ,3g (suprised how fast it is even on boost) also the 4g will connect to sprint but will not work (but i know thats due to it being a boost account)

On the other hand The Evo 3d is having issuses:

1. 1x data works but rarely switches to 3g (and even when it does the data connection on 3g doesnt work)

2. watching the singal bars it is very sporadic one min it has 3 bars then none then full service then no service at all.

3. When the phone turns on it takes a longer then most time to even connect to the 1x data!

Now my biggest questions are

1. Is there any special or different setting or thing needed to be done to a Evo 3d verse all other reprogrammed phones? (i.e in qpst M.IP tab there is a simple ip option)

2. Does the Evo 3d Radio firmware Have anything to do with my sporadic singal and 3g connection?

3. Does the fact i am recieving 1x data (and it works on the internet just hella slow) mean my data authentication is correct? Or does it mean im not authenticating?

4. Does the prl have anything to do with my problem? i assume not because i have the same prl on both devies but only one has this problem!

Please advise!

Hi Zarboz, I have a few questions you might be able to answer. My Evo 3D flashed to Boost has fluctuating 3G signal, the data connection works well(speeds vary depending on location). The questions are, why the fluctuating signal if I'm sitting still? Also, the voice quality seems pretty bad. I noticed everytime I place a call the 3G goes away. Does that mean my calls go out on 1x signal? Is all this normal or do you think the phone wasn't flashed right. Wondering if the procedure for the Evo 4G flash are different than the Evo 3D? What do you think?

I'll PM you too...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaejudah:
All calls go 1x because 3g is data only in the CDMA world. Voice calls are always 1x. Also by fluctuating signal do u mean the bars by the 3g icon? If so the bars have nothing to do with 3g, its ur voice signal.

Here is what i did,

I have a Evo 3D with a bad esn which I fixed with a clean one under sprint.

I have the voice and text working as I had the right esn and meid from doner.

However, my Data is not working.

I copied over NVItems 465, 466, 1192 and 1194 from the doner. Data still does not work and I get error 67.

I ran a field test by running ##33284#, under EVDO, it says 1=Authenticated but data is not working.

I have the Sprint PRL: 21081 and PRI: 1.24_003

i cannot update PRL or profile, i get error 67 and later turns into error code: 1012.

Hope someone can help me with this.

Solutions for Error codes, MMS, etc. on Boost

For those of you with error codes 16, 67, and/or 1012 when flashing your EVO to Boost, PM me and I will help you with the fixes I have used. I recently switched to a Thunderbolt but still have an EVO on Boost for educational purposes (looking into development). I am willing to help anyone who needs it because I have received lots of help and information from the mods and others at XDA. I reference other sights occasionally, but XDA is my bible for HTC/ Android. Thanks guys!!

For those who are stuck in error code 67 he** because you sent your phone to be flashed and don't have the donor phone, I have one (maybe two) that I am willing to provide the NV and HA/AAA info from.

Your profile 1 isnt filled in correctly or your donor is s 1x phone
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anita_russell:
My understanding is that the error 16 occurs when the signals from both the donor and flashed phone hit the same tower. Adding to this, I think that the error 16 will only occur if there is a configuration conflict in the two phones. If all settings are correct, you will have dropped calls and missed sms, but I have yet to encounter Error 16 on properly configured phones.

The HA/AAA's appear to be generated based on the ESN/MEID and MDN combination. When running across this issue, here are the steps I take to resolve it:

1. Turn off both the donor and flashed phones.

2. Go online to your Boost account and go through the Update handset process using a third Boost Mobile MEID (I have one you can use for the switch...PM me

3. After a few minutes, go back in and do another Update handset, this time using the MEID that came off the donor. Be sure to leave your donor phone off!!!

That's it! This has always worked for me. Sometimes it takes awhile for the phone to provision. You may get an error message that says that the number isn't in service...just hang in there!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdwyz74:

AAA long is always pulled off the D as it is exclusive to the phone but the AAA short can be regenerated thats why when you remove the phone and put it back on it changes im trying to find away around but have yet to be successful either way thanks alot im positive everything is a match its just when i take off and back on they change
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zarboz:
Error 16 is due to duplicate esns on the network
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anita_russell:
I've heard others say that the short AAA regenerates; if so it's random. I have had at least 3 occasions where I checked the password after a swap and, providing all other settings were correct prior to re-activating the donor ESN, the AAA did not change.

Regardless, I think that after re-activating the donor ESN, a profile update should resolve the Error 67. Again, all other settings must be correct in order for the process to work. A conflict in IMSI, NAM, or NV settings will cause an authentication failure and result in Error 67.

POS EVO 4g (use Imagination to get my frustration right now.)

I have talked with different people and read about 100 forums and 100's of posts of people have a crap load of issues in getting the evo 4g onto boost mobile and then all of a sudden they put a post up that says i got it working with no solution as to how they did or what little detail was missed. I have worked on this phone for a week straight and have even put in a full 24 hours of just trying to get it working. I would at this point say F*** it and go onto sprint but I already renewed my account for $50. Does anyone have the ability to actually chat with me for more than one message a day to help me get it working???? This phone says it is authenticated on the ##DEBUG# under the AN/AAA Authentication but it will do nothing. no calls no nothing. When calling out it says authentication code could not be authorized but the Samsung rant works fine. I have double and triple checked everything. Reset phone 10 times in all ways and nothing. After resetting the phone the profile updates ok but the PRL fails and nothing still works.

@russd7: if you used an incognito as your donor this what you do, first get the evo's msl--- step 1. ##786# hard reset that phone 2. When the phone boots up don't let it hands free activation (we will come back to that) 3. Press ##3424# get phone in diag mode, then open up cw, 4. Write the donor NV items to the phone, close cw & and phone reboot automatically, this time let it do a hands free activation and Viola, 5. ##3282#, edit, got to advanced, change mms URL to http://mm.myboostmobile.com, hit menu, comfirm, the screen will say no modifications have changed ignore that cause they have!

I have been following this and a few other threads. This is the best by far as it has real people who know what they are doing. (Yes this is me brown nosing) Ok here is my situation. I have successfully repaired my meid on the epic and have voice and sms. Im having trouble with the data. The only hitch is instead of boost I'm going to USCC. I have ported all of the info I could find (mms address etc etc) and couldn't get the ha and aaa passwords to stick. I saw on here something about 2 profiles so I put the ha and aaa paswords (in hex) into the phone for nam 0 and 1. After I put the profile for nam 1 in then it started showing the passwords on the phone. (Before I was just doing the first profile and it kept reverting to secret and blank) The phone now shows the 3g icon but still no data. Has anyone done this successfully for USCC? The only thing left to try at this point is pushing my modified build.prop to the epic. I still have the old sprint one on there now. If anyone could help please do.
