DO NOT USE ANY PRL STARTING WITH 1!!! Sprint gives those prls to business accounts budd. That been said you would put a huge red flag on yourself. He had this discussion in the update prl tread a while back . As far as the 60677 i did update myself to that one and it didnt work too well for me here in arkansas, sprint sets prls depending on geographics and new towers and stuff. I get slower 3g speed with 60677 than back in the day with 61007. My 2 cents :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] mschmidt33:
OK, I will try 60685 vs. 61007 and see what happens. Won't touch a VZW prl.

What about changing a modem?

In ##DATA# under View > Others > Multimedia > Everything is filled out??? What should I edit?
[Epic 4G Android Development] strra:
a radio change may do something too.

and i don't own an E4GT, but i remember on my samsung moment, deleting all values under the multimedia proxy made a difference on a leaked update and on the update's official release, the proxy was empty.

on my optimus s and nexus s, all values have always been empty.

i'd recommend trying to delete all values but make sure to write down what they used to be in case things go wrong.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mschmidt33:
Can someone share 60685? I assume prl's are not phone specific?

Mike
[Epic 4G Android Development] strra:
there you go
[Epic 4G Android Development] strra:
here's what i got today on PRL 60686

One more for good measure
[Epic 4G Android Development] weinerwad3000:
Well I guess its just the tremendous amount of people in this town with sprint and lack of the towers being upgraded because this morning at 6am I was pulling 1.6 mbps. Is there a way to tell the progress of towers being upgraded? If not I think I'm gonna go to straight talk.
[Epic 4G Android Development] strra:
if you go to https://network.sprint.com/ you can put in your zip code and see if they plan on upgrading any towers in the next 6 months
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnnyboy14981:
so is that the bottom line then

Is it just that Boost has sh#$ty speeds compared even to Cricket which I was getting an average of 3Mbps where as Boost I don't pass 100Kbps and I have tried all the suggestions, switching radios, prls, erasing the proxy info, etc and nothing. I live in Raleigh and there are plenty of towers and as far as voice the coverage is excellent but the web is the slowest of any prepaid carrier I have experienced. If there is anyone out there that has maybe found a different solution or way to get true 3g speed I would greatly appreciate sharing it. I have done at least 100 phones htc's and samsungs and it''s all the same as far as data speed in concerned. I know there is 3g in my area I have confirmed it, I just don't know how to get it to work on the handsets I am using. I would also like to thank the original author of this thread and guide as it was a great help through getting my first epic done. One thing I will add that has helped me when I have a Samsung phone that is being stubborn regarding ota programming when you get done writing all the settings in QPST and the phone reboots if you quickly put on the wifi as soon as it comes back on and hit *2 then activate it will go through much smoother where as in many cases it would just continue to hang and retry. Just thought I would add that. It's worked for me many times.
[Epic 4G Android Development] strra:
i'm not sure what network cricket uses, but from all of my tests, anything using sprint's towers (which includes boost) has pretty bad 3G speeds (including sprint itself).

in the last few days, i've run speed tests on quite a few phones owned by my coworkers. in my area, anything on sprint's towers (sprint, boost, straight talk android) was getting 100-800kbps. anything on at&t's towers was getting 500kbps-1.5Mbps, and anything on verizon's was getting a pretty steady 2.5-3Mbps

mind you, these are all unscientific tests running the speedtest.net app on androids and iphones over a couple days... but it was pretty clear that anything using sprint's towers was getting about the same data speeds
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeNu2:
Flashed one Epic 4g to Boost using the guide. Working on the second one and cannot get voice or text. I have spent three days running through all the settings in QPST to no avail. 3g data is working perfect, but nothing else. Any outgoing call gives, "due to error number 16 your call has failed to complete...." When I wait for customer service or type in the number assigned, the call ends. The only difference I can see between the phone I got working and this one is the working phone is running EC05 and the non-working is EL30. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
What I did for error 16 in October:

I called Boost from another phone (it happened to be a landline) about the error.

I left my epic on, but told customer service I got the error on my incognito.

They told me to dial pound msid pound, giving me the incognito's msid. Instead I dialed the epic's msid number to get to some kind of system menu.

They had me fix the msl or something, gave me a number to change it to. I was able to follow the incognito instructions on my epic and it worked fine.

Then they reset something on their end.

From October until now I've never gotten an error 16 again.

Google "Sprint Error 16" though. This error first started happening as far as I can tell this summer on Sprint networks and things may be changing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeNu2:
No dice. My MSID is fine and they couldn't figure out what was going on. I have went through all the settings in QPST and dialed them to a "T" with the incog, even tried tweaking some of the settings. OTA activation works, data runs, just no voice or text. Looking in the ##3282#-edit-advanced menu, I can see that none of the settings are registering, i.e Home NID, Home, SID, MCC, MNC, ACCOLC. They are all showing "not set". I know what the settings should be I just can't get them to stick. Using the menu button doesn't pull up the options menu to save or restore. Think I'll start a thread to see if there is anbother way to change data settings via external program or text file. Thanks for the advice though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] strra:
did you use CDMA Workshop to transfer those settings?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
Try putting a different phone on the account for a couple hours then switch back to the Epic (leave the Incognito off).
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeNu2:
I've done both ways after full reset. I've CDMA'd the NV's to apply the ha and aaa, then used qpst to match incog. I've also done everything in qpst with the ha and aaa in hex.

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

I don't have another phone. If I pick up another phone on the cheap, will this really provide a fix? Can you give me some insight into how this will correct the problem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] weinerwad3000:
Have you tried going into ##786# and doing a reset and entering the data again?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeNu2:
Yup. I have ##786#'d multiple times. I've used deck's version from youtube, using the NV's. I've tried Leviuqse's version here on xda. And tweaking everything in between. OTA activation completes. 3g symbols are dancing, but no voice or text. At one point I had a single ring that would come through on incoming calls with immidiate disconnect upon answering. That is the closest I have made it. Could it be the EL30? Would flasing to EC05 fix the problem?

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------

Also, I was unable to extract ha and aaa keys from this phone. Don't know if that has an effect on anything. Went through multiple methods to get the keys but access was denied every time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] weinerwad3000:
Seems like you tried everything else. Why not try flashing to ec05
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeNu2:
I plan on trying that out today. Just wanted to see if there were any other options out there. Thanks will be tapped on all who gave advice.

only x1?

Hi i used to have 3g but upgraded my modem and it all went to hell, i've been trying for days to get it back to 3g following all the steps but nothing all i get is 1x, sometimes the 3g comes up but when it does the internet doesnt work and it falls back to 1x. Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? thanks for the help :D

update: nulled everything in the ppp config tab and 3g is dancing ! I BELIEVE :p , BUT the internet is as slow as in 1x? could it be lying? saying its in 3g but actually being in 1x?

update 2: i should stop being so impulsive, it fell back to 1x after a couple of minutes grr. ;(

final update: it works now, it was the absence of 3 missing letters that wouldnt let me have 3g, the lesson is check every single letter!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeNu2:
Flash back to your old modem and see if speeds increase. Every phone handles the modems differently.
[Epic 4G Android Development] weinerwad3000:
It shouldn't be the phone try doing a factory reset and input all the setting again. If you're having trouble we can use team viewer to see if I can help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeNu2:
MBELLOT, you rock!!! Took your adviced and it worked like a charm. Shoulda listened to you sooner. I didn't realize how easy it was going to be. I wish I could hit the Thanks button a thousand times.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
Just paying back, I got plenty of help from other members here.

Glad you got it up and running, enjoy!
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
Do you have a suggestion for where to get a phone to do this with? One option may be to go to radio shack or something, getting a phone, connecting it, disconnecting it and returning the phone.

Another option might be to somehow find someone who has compatible phones lying around and have that person do it. Maybe there is a way to find a person with phones to send a PM to.

If I ever have to connect a different phone to Boost, how would you suggest I do so?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
HoFo.

The Boost section has a thread full of MEIDs that are specifically for temporary use. It's generally for activating a new CDMA account, but comes in handy when you need to do a temporary swap too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
By now are most people on cyanogenmod? I'm still using touchwiz and figure I'll move to cm when it gets out of beta. Sleeperrom is still doing great for me, even though its an el30 rom.

Once on CM9, will voicemail notification work out of the box, or will I have to change some setting?

In CM9, will I be able to correct the mms apn the same way I do in touchwiz, meaning using APN backup?

Thanks for your help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
I'm fairly happy with TPR 2.2, which is an FC09 TouchWiz based ROM. My biggest gripe is VM notifications, but some of the benefits (Connection Optimizer) make it worth the hassle.

Any of the AOSP based ROMS (CM7, CM9 AOKP) *should* work without an extra app, but that is pure supposition on my part since I haven't tried any of them yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] retailguy:
I had CM7 on the phone for a while but my wife hated it. I have AOKP 35.2 on it right now with the Nyan 4.3 kernel and it's working pretty well. Acceptable battery life, though nowhere close to the life she got on the stock rom.

To answer your questions - Voicemail notification works (on both CM7 and AOKP), no more running voicemail notifier for us!

Yes, the MMS change is identical, and it works fine. Only change that was necessary was switching to mm.myboostmobile.com. The other line (forget which one it was) is blank, so no changes there.

One added benefit, she uses line2, for a second line. It is notoriously buggy with the Touchwiz Rom's - including stock (not just the epic, but most Samsung phones). It works MUCH better using both CM7 and AOKP.

Hope that helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
Thanks for confirming it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] postpawl:
My phone was constantly dropping its data connection (3g icon would disappear or not do anything). I'm still on Sprint and I copied the settings exactly from a donor phone.

I fixed this by going to ##debug# -> Others -> HDR/1x Selection -> Set CDMA Only.

This should only allow it to use 1x, but it will prevent the connection from disappearing.

When I set to EVDO only, it will not connect at all. If anyone has tips on getting the EVDO working, please tell me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] luvjones305:
Hi can somebody please give me their full settings to get mms. I lost my settings open apn by using voice dialer an give me ur settings please thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Purponic:
I have my Epic Flashed to Boost everything is perfect except my data.

My Epic is on FC09 and its on the stock deodexed rom.

I'm using QPST 2.7 323 I have a tried newer version as well.

I'm using Windows 7 Professional x64

Under the M.IP settings QPST keeps switching the Active user to Profile 1 when I set it to Profile 0. For hours I have been going around in circles. Every time I set the profile to 0, write it to the phone, and reboot I get a Error 67. When load up QPST again the user profile is set to 1.

If I delete profile 1 the 3g symbols will pop up and no error 67, but 3g doesn't work. I tried reversing the info in the 2 profiles since it automatically reverts to profile 1 and I got the 3g symbols to pop up with no error 67 but it still doesn't work

I have tried writing the profiles 1 at a time and it still will switch the default profile to 1.

I just don't get it. I have searched for hours trying to find a solution. Does anybody know another way to get profile 0 to stick as the active user? Am I doing something wrong? Please help I'm at my wits end.

Edit: I don't know what happened. I put it in download mode to flash EL30, I forgot to put it back into PDA, and I rebooted put it back in PDA now my 3g is miraculously working. Not sure how cause when I left it Profile 1 was still active.

Is this guide missing a step?

When exactly do we overwrite the MEID on the Epic 4g?

Other guides online say this:

Using OXDM, write your Donor MEID

RequestNVItemWrite meid 0x00A0000000000000 <- Your donor hex MEID GOES HERE
[Epic 4G Android Development] alansupra94:
This guide was intented to only fix your 3g/mms, not to swap the MEID. I would follow the other guides for that.

From my understanding after flashing my HTC Evo Shift 4g to boost mobile (sending it back because part of the screen is dead) is that there are two methods. The hard method and the easy method.

The hard method involves searching through stuff, using a hex editor and replacing all the MEID and HEX you find. It is tedious and a pain.

The easy method involves some using ecs file explorer and "open sesame" folder. You should be able to google that. It MIGHT only be for HTC phones but I am not 100% sure.

Also another method is apparently buying (or finding) DFS cdma tools. It apparently can change the MEID just by selecting it and changing it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cre8er:
Data He11

OK. I've been through this whole process 5 times using all available methods and answers I can find. No matter what I ger Error 67, no 3G and no Data not even 1x.

Using ##DEBUG#

AN-AAA always says "fail"

Voice works fine

have ##RTN# reset and done the whole process over multiple times

Have been reset by a Sprint ATS 3 times today after "your account could not be validated" message which fixes the voice part.

update profile, hands free activation and update PRL doesn't work

Have tried using both my old Mogul and now my 100% working TP2

I'm guessing there is some discrepancy in the way the HTC devices use or store the keys/passwords compared to the samsung.

I'm at the point of just buying an incognito, but having a drawer full of HTC phones I was hoping I could use one of them.

Anyone have any input before I give up again?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
Not to discourage you, but I spent the better part of a week trying to get an Epic running with the info from a TP2.

Never happened, finally broke down and bought an Incognito...

I have heard rumors/reports of some successfully using the Mogul FWIW.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cre8er:
Yeah I gave up. Won and incognito on ebay.

I may go for the super easy method which some people say works:

Change esn and do initial online activation on the et4g itself. Apparently multiple people say this works reliably, something about the activation system only sending the cdma/data profile keys once upon initial activation regardless of device. Only part I'm not sure about is the profile 0 keys needing to be copied or not (NV1192).
[Epic 4G Android Development] weinerwad3000:
Maybe try the a key. Someone needed it for their phone to work on Verizon. Worth a shot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Andy_nu:
Google is your friend. youtube can guide you step by step you have to search. sometimes on fco9 its harder for meid to stick, MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THE MEID IS VERIFIED before you reboot or this will happen. you also probably didnt get the ha and aaa keys right, do it again step by step. this method does not fail.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
Yes it does, with a TP2 as the donor.

I tried for over a week, including getting extensive personal help from someone here at XDA that has considerable knowledge. It simply wouldn't work.

Ordered an Incognito from ebay, had everything up and running the very first time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
To be fair, it does say to use an incognito in the op.... so this method does not fail if you actually use the correct method (which also includes the correct phone)
[Epic 4G Android Development] retailguy:
Another thing to keep in mind is that the HA key is much longer than the AAA key, which, IIRC, is only 14 characters. It's very easy to tack on a bunch of zeros to make the keys the same length, and that won't work.

And I agree about the incognito, it's very simple. Why make it harder over 30 bucks? Just doesn't make any sense to me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cre8er:
It's the other way around. The HA key is the word "secret" in HEX or "736563726574". The AAA key is the 32 character one. Either way I did the blind copy method also of the 465, 466, 1192, 1194 files (3 separate times) as well as the QXDA/QPST/DFS method where you manually enter the values into the HA and AAA key fields.

One thing to note for future posterity for those going through this in the future and the sake of simplicity. My Profile 1 (32 character) AAA key translated out of HEX to a string is actually my "MEID@" or " A100000XXXXXX@". This may be a clue for simplifying the process in the future. I'll see what my incognito translates to when I get it activated. If we can figure these out and just enter simple values like this as stings it will take the mystery and frustration out of it.

I have a drawer full of HTC Sprint 3G enabled devices I have used on Boost mobile so I figured I could just use one of them. If I knew how many frustrating days I would waste trying to make them work, I would have just bought and incognito to start with.
[Epic 4G Android Development] killa57:
Be aware when you get a incognito make sure you have an xp machine around to get the drivers installed on the computer. There is no drivers for vista or win 7 and install of drivers fail every time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] insanity213:
I spent about 2 days trying to patch a driver to work on Win7 for Incognito. Best I was able to do was get it to accept AT commands as a modem. Instead, I lit up XP in Vmware and added 2 lines to the vmx file to make CDMA WS think it was a real machine...

monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "TRUE"

disable_acceleration = "TRUE"
[Epic 4G Android Development] Purponic:
I used Windows Virtual PC with Windows XP Mode on Win7 x64 to get everything working. It went flawless.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cre8er:
Good to know about the drivers. I would have wasted some time on that one.

Anyone try the boost Innuendo? They sell them at Walmart for $50 new. Might be a good alternative for people in the future?
