One more question, my Boost ha and AAA are fine, but my sprint AAA is all '0'. Is this OK or am I doing something wrong?

My donor phone is a Mogul and it works fine under Boost including voice text and data.

Which would be the best modem to use on Boost mobile and anything I can do to get better battery life?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] cre8er:
That happened on one of my phones. Use the CDMA WS method and copy the NV Files. 465, 466, 1192, 1194
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeNu2:
Modem really doesn't matter. Try a few different modems and find which one works best with your phone. CleanGB has the best battery life for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cre8er:
Those drivers didn't work for me for some reason.

Used these from another thread that are actually Win XP drivers for a different model but they worked flawlessly in Windows 7 32bit:
[Epic 4G Android Development] cre8er:
yEaHHH!!! Got it up and running with 3g and data. Wish I would have just bought the incognito in the first place. Would have saved me days of frustration and even doubt as to weather it would even work on the incognito.

IMPORTANT NOTES TO PEOPLE IN THE FUTURE:

1: This is mentioned sparratically in various threads, but is VERY IMPORTANT!! If you are not connecting and you get a message "Your authentication code could not be verified" when making a call... STAY ON THE LINE!!! A rep will answer and tell them you don't have another phone to call from. They call it an error 16 which I'm assuming is an ESN change flag that gets set somehow on their system. they will reset it tell you to hang up and take the battery out of your phone and replace it and you will be good to go. Do this only after you have all of the proper settings copied in all areas of QPST/QXDM/DFS/CDMAWS. My 3g/Voice/data/etc came on instantly after this reset on their end was done. And this is probably why my previous attempts with my HTC mogul phone did not work.

2: DFS 4.0.0.3 can be used for most of the steps and is actually easier (even meid), there just isn't a guide about using it. You can write the HA AAA keys and set every thing you would normally do in QPST and QXDM. The only thing I couldn't figure out how to make it do is read/write actual NV item files even though the function is there. That doesn't matter when you enter HA and AAA keys manually though. Here is a very vague video of DFS in use to get some idea:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0Ov9alh5sY

3: The HA key for both profile 1 and profile 2 is the word "secret" in string mode or "736563726574" in HEX mode.

4: The Profile 1 AAA key is not necessarily 32 characters in HEX, mine was a number like this: "317531683000"

5: THERE ARE PHONES THAT DON"T WORK AS DONORS - DON't GET DISCOURAGED

6: There is more than one way to do this;

~NV item file copy method: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwjAcqU_SFY

~OTA activation method (not sure if this actually works): http://chris41g.devphone.org/blog/2011/12/08/epic-4g-to-boost/

Thanks to Chris41g and undergroundcentral which I have no affiliation with

I think these points are important enough to go into the first post at the bottom, if you want to edit it Leviuqse
[Epic 4G Android Development] thecensor:
Did your mogul give you the all '0' AAA password for profile '0' or did you just copy the NV files?
[Epic 4G Android Development] thecensor:
Thanks!! Looks like that did the trick for me. I'm getting full EVDO now. I also manually upadated the PRL to the verizon roaming one. The only thing I have left to do is take care of the "error 16" issue, but that's not urgent because I will be using GrooveIP for my voice calls.

But thank you for both your tips.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cre8er:
Can the Verizon prl be used for boost now? I played around with that back in the day(I think it was in my Mogul days) but I thought the general consensus was that it only helped ppl on Sprint. I would love to be able to use a Verizon prl. Anyone doing this? Successfully?
[Epic 4G Android Development] thecensor:
As far as I know, you can't roam on Verizon with a Boost account, but people still recommended to use the Verizon PRL for one reason or another.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brooksyx:
I am pretty sure that if you flash a Verizon prl and try to make a call or use daya it will ask you for a credit card but don't quote me on that..

Slow Data?

I know a lot of people have mentioned slow data, and after a bunch of tweaking settings getting it working. Was there any common resolution to a slow data problem?

For some reason dialing:

*#info*1111#

on my epic touch 4G doesn't bring up a menu that i can see the connection speed on.

Anyone else not able to do this?

More specifically on the problems I'm having:

Long load times for any data apps like navigate, play store, etc

Getting "Connection timeout" and network or service unavailable/error messages after an app tries to connect to data for 10-20 sec.

This happens with full bars. Generally it will connect on the 2nd or 3rd attempt.

Webpages say "...not available" after trying to load for a while.

Ping: 700-1800ms

Down: 4-8kbps

up: 48kbps

Changing to Google DNS helped a bit:

Would i get new internet keys with the new number or just a new number?

Thanks guys.
[Epic 4G Android Development] carsalbuja:
Just for general info here. I went and changed my number. 3g keys are the same didnt have to do a thing. I had my donor phone and the rep made me input my new number and my new msid number. With those 2 numbers you are good to go on qpst and Swap them for the old ones. If you dont have the donor just pretend you are doing the steps and write down the numbers i guess.

One more thing qpst wont read phones on ics roms. I was on cm9 and it never read it, i had to go back to a gingerbread rom to use qpst.
[Epic 4G Android Development] weinerwad3000:
I'm pretty sure you can still connect your phone in ics you just have to manually enter the diag mode command because epst doesn't work in non-sense roms.

I pretty much followed all the steps to copy my AAA/HA from Tp2 to the Optimus S (I'm still on Sprint). The network works but mainly in 1x speed (even in strong 3G area), although from time to time I saw 3G icons, they never really get me the speed. I've already updated PRL to the most recent 60687 via QPST, but my update profile/PRL within the phone did not work (error 67 for update profile), always network problem.

I saw some post talking about using only last 16 digit in the 32 digit profile 0 AAA in PPP-An password to get 3G work (which was not mentioned in the original tutorial), also there were people talking about using that same 16digit in profile 1 password too (manual said it should be the thing read from the TP, HA: secret, AAA: some string). So I tried changing profile 1 AAA, and wrote to phone, I got error 67 after reboot. Changed it back to the string I recorded from Tp2, and it went back online fine, but still 1x with horrible speed. Any more thoughts?

Double checked the donor tp2, and made sure the HA/AAA for profile 0 and 1 that I used were right.

Thanks a lot.

Update: checked EVDO engineering setting in DEBUG (##DEBUG#), it says AN-AAA pending. But I already put the last 16 digit in that field and wrote to phone. Double checked the donor's AAA 32 digit code and the profile 1's codes to be correctly used.

I can't use the "update profile", every time I got error 67. But I do get 1x data working, did speedtest, shows the 1x speed.

I know what you need to do but do not know how to do it.

my clone guy fixed it in some special menus really quick but I have no idea what they are.

you need to get into the menu that shows the MMS server and change it to the BOOST mms server.

the rom defaults to the "SPRINT" servers which work fine on boost (its sprint afterall) but they have their own MMS server.

once you restore this you can then use APN backup restore to save it and "restore" it each time you flash a rom.

I have attached my backup for apn backup restore. its an XML file its not zip I simply changed the extension to zip so change it back to xml

this appears to contain a TON of apn info I HAVE NO IDEA what will happen if you restore this but I figure you can just reflash if it goes bad use at your own risk.

Issues with Voice not working but 3G connects

Thanks so much for this guide. I don't post here at all but I decided to contribute after having a difficult time resolving this issue. My phone is an Epic 4G that was on the Sprint network, was factory reset, rooted with a custom ROM and the donor phone is an Incognito. As I am running Windows 7 64-bit I had to run VMware with Windows XP 32-bit. I followed the guide exactly and was able to connect to 3G fine but the voice network was inaccessible with an error "Your phone cannot be authenticated" (or something to that effect). I did not try to message. I checked all CDMA settings and input the MIP and PPP settings over and over again to no avail. I then watched youtube.com/watch?v=QvrT5Qsp1S4&feature=relmfu<----this guide which offered the solution. To be clear I am a noob at this and this short guide is aimed towards other noobs.

1. Connect your Epic 4G to the computer again, making sure the port has been added in QPST Configuration (this wasn't clear in the guide).

2. Open QXDM Professional, confirming the phone has connected, making changes under communications if necessary, and enter "password 01F2030F5F678FF9" (this may not be necessary but do it anyways just in case).

3. Type in under the command line on the top type in "requestnvitemwrite meid 0x00" with the donor phone's (Incognito) hex (from the back of the phone) with no spaces after the zeroes and press enter.

4. Confirm the success by typing in "requestnvitemread meid" and checking to see if it is the same as the hex you just entered.

5. Close QXDM and open Service Programming, making a connection with the phone. Check to see if all settings are correct and are the same as the donor phone in CDMA and AMPS. Double check MIPS and PPP just in case. Write to phone and hopefully you will be able to make calls now!

(6) As others have mentioned you may get an error upon calling and need to keep on the phone, let the connected rep know you are calling from the Incognito with no other phone available, and they will activate it for you.

Disclaimer: I do not know what I am really doing but this resolved my problem. If this doesn't meet your situation exactly (connecting via VMware, 3G full working etc.) it is strongly recommended you do not follow this guide. I might have just missed something in the original guide.

If you are on FC09 you NEED TO RTN YOUR EPIC BEFORE STARTING ##rtn# type your msl and reset. then you should only have one profile (if you have another delete profile1) make sure the active user is set to 0 and write to phone reboot and the activate wizard wil start and update your profile and prl from the network.
