Was able to update CM10 10/24 nightly with latest nitest and patch on the 24. Running very smoothly for 2 days. Still cnnot figure why it would not upgrade to the 10/14 nightly without problems.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chillywings:
I want to second this question. Any other phones that work would also be nice to know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BigOnes69:
Get an incognito on Ebay for cheaper. I got one for 30 bucks including shipping. Just lucky. I was reading from google search and people were having problems with the innuendo.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brooksyx:
That's not cheap, I would consider $20 cheap.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
Selling is no longer allowed on XDA
[Epic 4G Android Development] BigOnes69:
Considering that they all were selling for 40 to 80 dollars before shipping 30 was cheap at that time about 3 months ago.

Read what was written no one was selling anything.

You might try taking your own advice. If you look closely at that post, you'll see that it was edited by a moderator. My guess is he tried to sell something and got it deleted....

Edit: Latest AOKP (as of this writing, January 19th 2013 build) works with everything. I have yet to test MMS, but it should work now that I put that small bit of info into my MMSC URL. 3G works fine. Since my house is a dungeon in the middle of nowhere, I get ****ty cell reception, but it works in my bathroom I guess.

Any questions, feel free to ask.

I'm thinking about moving my phones that are working fine on Boost to a CM-based rom. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions?

Question if I get a blacklisted s4 or a bad esn or what ever could I flash it to boost?id be using the donor phones esn wouldn't I?
[Epic 4G Android Development] LargePrime:
Yes.

Yes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
At least three people in NYC, LA and Chi have lost MMS over the last few days. Two are known to be using GB roms. Has anyone else had trouble with Boost MMS? What roms are you running?

I've been getting the message:

MMS transaction is failed.

HTTP 401 error : Authorization Required

This may be the reason to move to JB.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DJ_SHORTY:
I'm also having issues with MMS. I'm running TPR 2.22 and all has been working great until the other day I was having some random reboots and crashes, so I decided to reflash TPR and there it went.... no MMS. I did the APN change to http://mm. myboostmobile.com and deleted the proxy but still no MMS. I get the 401 error message.

I've read somewhere here that using APN back up and restore fixes the problem, using the xml file they had.... so I followed the instructions there and it worked, however it only works on 3G, not on Wi-Fi.

Before reflashing, mms used to work on both Wi-Fi and 3G. Now it only works on 3G.....bummer.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] TPMJB:
Why are you on GB? I was using JB back when I had Boost. No problems.

Only problem is Sprint is ass for service. Switching to Straight Talk whenever I get around to it.

Ok, finally made the jump to boost.

I have an E4GT with a good ESN so I'd REALLY like to backup the HA/AAA keys but can't seem to find a working guide on how to do this.

Anyone have any ideas, please?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
Epic 4G vs. Epic 4G Touch = different phones.

Either you got the device's name wrong, or go to the E4GT forum for help ;)

[Epic 4G Android Development] tdunham:
My apologies, you are correct. Our thread is wearing extremely thin as many users have migrated to newer phones.

However, I believe the method is still going to be similar to acquire HA/AAA for both Samsung phones. I saw posts earlier in this thread referring to inability to retrieve and I am getting the same error so I thought I would ask here in case a working method has been found.
[Epic 4G Android Development] justan00b:
What do you need help with, just putting your E4GT in diag mode and being able to copy your HA/AAA keys? Have you tried using DFS /Cdma Tool and reading the values?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jimrothwell123:
hi

So I have an E4GT on sprint and I want to flash it over to boost do I still need to get incognito to do that or now that boost has the E4GT I can just flash over there rom and prls and be good? sorry if this was asked all ready and thank you in advance. James

So when I install cm 11 on my phone, I'm unable to get any service from boost to make calls, send mms, and get 3g. When I restore it to stock rom everything is fixed, so is there simple way to fix it all by changing some settings in the cm 11 rom instead of repeating all the steps on the first page?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Arson Smith:
That sounds like it could be an APN settings issue...?

(Like your stock rom has the correct APN settings for Boost, but those settings are not present in CM 11?)

I'm no expert, but that sounds very similar to something I went through a while ago:

(Or, it is possible that I don't know what I'm talking about... good luck, either way...)
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Sounds to me more like the modem you are using is not compatible with cm11, apn settings shouldn't ever stop calls from working..

this worked like a charm!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] m4f1050:
Do you need to do this fix on the APNs in Froyo builds on the Epic?
[Epic 4G Android Development] m4f1050:
I was playing with this 30 mins ago trying to get MMS working, but I did the VOICE DIALER, said "OPEN APNS" and was playing with the settings... I removed the MMS Proxy ip that was there, then saved it, and it worked...

I just updated a 2nd Epic to Froyo 2.2 and checked again the original APN and the proxy is a 68.28 (sprint) address, so I just remove it, save it, then click on it and it works fine. I find this easier to do, since Voice Dialer is already installed.

I finally got my usb from ebay an it wont connect to my windows xp computer why i cant im trying to get this to work
[Epic 4G Android Development] msnuser111:
Get msl and passwords

there is a LOT easier way that you can put into the guide for getting the msl and the ha and aaa passwords. i originally made the script for pulling info from the samsung intercept and putting it on a verizon fascinate (all on virgin mobile) but it works on the epic too.

copy and paste this into notepad and save it as "pass.bat" including the quotes:

turn on usb debugging and plug in your phone,launch that batch file,it will show your msl and pause. go to the dialer and type ##data#,hit username,hit edit,type in the msl it gave you,then scroll down to the aaa password,it will be all stars,thats fine,just hit ok,then do the same for the ha password. hit the space bar to continue the batch file,let it run for about 5 seconds then unplug the phone,it will show your passwords then pause again,press space to exit.

That will give you the epic's passwords and the msl,but its not really useful for the incognito. you might have some success with DFS,you can download it from cdmatool.com,it will read the passwords from any phone that qpst can detect.
[Epic 4G Android Development] msnuser111:
if you just want the msl,not the epic's ha and aaa passwords,you can just run:

adb shell getprop > getprop.txt

findstr "ril.MSL" getprop.txt
[Epic 4G Android Development] savior02:
Alright not only do I have 3g working and 4g connects but when I do a speed test I get no speeds on the download only uploads work. Does anyone know what I gotta do to get it working?
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Just wanted to say this guide works like a champion. I used the youtube guide to get my phone onto Boost in the first place and I got the 3G icon but that was only voice/text since the epic doesn't do the 1x icon. That whole NV read/write thing (465/466 etc...) from the Youtube guide either didn't work or doesn't complete the 3G activation process although I did have the second profile loaded in QPST already... Followed step by step and I am running with full functionality on 2.1 unrooted minus the voicemail.

Going to root and install DK28 at some point soon and then once I get done testing it out my wife will get the same treatment and goodbye $200/mo Verizon for only 2 phones...

I haven't tried to connect to 4G yet but there are 2 areas close enough to here where I might be able to this week... That would be sick. Everything in my 3G works awesome now, phone is noticably faster than my X on Verizon's service and that phone is running the Apex rom, the Epic is still 2.1 Touchwiz stock... whats up with that?

Oh, and my donor phone was a used Incognito, I had to go over to a relative's house to use Windows XP since all my computers are on Windows 7... So you do have to have XP SP2 or SP3.

As for service. I am spoiled and live in NJ sandwiched right between NYC and Philly so all 4 big carriers have almost total coverage here. Full bars just about everywhere.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
Thank.. i guess my epic doesnt like me because every time I said "open apn" nothing opened so i thought this menu was nonexistent in the epic like HTC phones, but after so many tries i got it to open.

I will update the guide next week
[Epic 4G Android Development] m4f1050:
LOL! Yeah, it took me a good 3 times as well, but I figured it out, you have to say "OPEN", pause, then "A" "P" "N" with a slight pause between the 3 letters.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrc1330:
Doesnt work - not consistently at least

Don't even bother..

3G will almost always come up if you have a brain and get a few of these steps right..

Of course it does - its a 3G phone.. it wouldnt say anyting else.

If you want to brick your radio and never get good signal again. then risk your phone.

otherwise... Sell it.. its worth more that way.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zipxavier:
Unless you're in a 2g service area and have the 1x icon enabled...
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Soooo, question. This probably got beat to death but is there ANY way to get the voicemail working? The pay for flash ppl claim to have 100% operation of all functions including the voicemail but that is to be taken with a grain of salt obviously. I also have been reading that boost can't be used with Google Voice and I sure couldn't get it working. Something about Boost not having forwarding provisions or some such... Is there maybe some sort of workaround for this?

I'm still running 2.1 so no MMS issues although from reading this thread I know how to fix them when I do go to 2.2 DK28 or the official release whenever that is. Voicemail is the only thing not working and I always forget to check it since I've always had notifications. I'm trying to train myself to take the 5 seconds to dial 1 whenever I see the missed call icon but I'd really like to have the notification function again...

Any thoughts?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Try voicemail notifier on the market
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
As far as I know, voicemail notifications used to work with an old version of the "voicemail notifier" app from the market but so far no luck finding the previous version.

and yes boost mobile cant forward voicemail to your google voice
[Epic 4G Android Development] dhinez:
Just reinstalled DK28 back on my phone. I was on Boost with my Epic going on 2 months now. I couldn't figure out how to get mms to work on any 2.2 rom so I went back to 2.1.

I happy with 2.2 (DK28) now that I can use mms without wifi. The APN fix helped out a lot. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
I may go to DK28 over the weekend but with the Vibrant 2.2 official OTA just out I can't help but think Samsung is FINALLY going to put 2.2 out officially for the rest of the Galaxy S line so maybe I'll wait a bit. Having 0 issues with Eclair. Also rooted and rom'd the crap out of this thing and the modem is just fine. Speedtest speeds are really inconsistent but always fast enough. I hear Sprint's CDMA network is kind of wonky so whatever...

I'll try to hunt down a voicemail program that works but I'm sure lots of ppl look and don't find it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dhinez:
Just wanted to verify that Voicemail Notifier works in letting you know you have a message.
[Epic 4G Android Development] m4f1050:
Try this one, works for me...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
works...WONDERFUL!!!

thanks..i will update the guide
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
omg i love you!

edit:

I now have FULL functionality on my Epic running DI18 on Boost. I haven't cancelled my Verizon just yet so I've been testing all night. MMS works great, that voicemail APK does indeed work amazing, plenty of sprint towers around for service, up to 1200kbps up/ 602 kbps down on speedtest etc... This is on the Syndicate fully loaded rom. About to try DK28 and some roms for that. Will report back.

edit 2: DK28 working full blast too, MMS works, VM works, I am very happy with how this turned out. Putting the Epic on boost surpassed my wildest expecations, the phone is literally as good as if it was on Sprint's base service, data roaming even works and I get signal everywhere thanks to Sprint having towers all over NJ. Wife is getting one next and then hopefully these things last a few years and I learn how to flash whatever comes out next to boost.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sidicious:
Sorry to burst your bubble, but I have evdo rev a, everything working great, and my donor was a SPRINT BB 8330. Hope that helps some of you.

Also, thanks to the main poster, as I was able to fix my mms via proxy deletion.
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Not sure why so many ppl (on here and lots of other places) try to get these phones onto boost using anything besides the Incognito... Incognito is proven to work 100% of the time and is super easy to clone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] m4f1050:
Note: On the EPIC I couldn't get it to provision with the 16-digit AAA password from profile 0, had to manually provision my Epic. So that means any phone can be a donor as long as you can retrieve the profile 1 AAA 6-digit password. Username is easy using QPST (on most donors) or just ##3282# and going to username section.

I have tried both ways to no success... (QPST writting the 16-digit AAA on profile 0 and the NVItem method replacing both entries)

Has anybody done the provisioning successfully programming the 16-digit AAA provision password???
[Epic 4G Android Development] mdleal:
My donor phone was a 8830 as well. 95% of the features are working on verizon. I still can't get MMS to work and I also have to send a pic message after a reboot in order for 3g 2 work, but no big deal. I tried a droid but could retrieve the AAA and HA. It would say access denied in 1192 and 465 memory dump.
[Epic 4G Android Development] m4f1050:
Verizon MMS has different settings but you should be able to set them in the APN section. Your best bet is to download the Incredible MMS apk like they do on the EVO for metropcs...
[Epic 4G Android Development] mdleal:
Yeah i tried to set the apn using apn manager but have had not luck. I will try the ncredible MMS.
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Another question and it looks like the answer is yes from what I'm reading but just wanted to make sure. If I update to the DK28 modem, I am going to have to go back in and redo all the steps in this guide since updating the modem will "break" the 3g correct?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Thanks for the guide, Leviuqse! I don't plan on switching to Boost any time soon, but guides like these are incredibly useful and a great contribution to the boards. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] m4f1050:
You might want to add to OP:

In CDMA WS, read NVItem 466 and 1192 off EPIC and program the 16-digit pw there, in 466 there is one instance of it, after the 10, and in 1192 there are 2 instances after the 10 as well (which stands for 16 decimal, password length) then write them back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
Hi, I have used the DK28 zip update folder, flashed both versions of the Epic Experience 2.1 & 2.2 and recently midNIGHT 3.2 without a problem, but in case it does break your 3g you only had to redo all the steps..

you're welcome..
[Epic 4G Android Development] morlocx:
Is there a similar or full guide for the epic to virgin mobile flash anywhere?
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Yeah I'm running Truly Epic Rebirth right now no issues but IIRC the DK28 modem is a seperate upgrade from the DK28 leak. I could be completey wrong tho and it would be simple to fix if I did accidentally kill my signal.

In the meantime, I might try to mess with loading Verizon PRL lists onto this beast in an attempt to boost my signal... Not complaining about Sprint/Boost service but Verizon does have better signal in some spots.

Sent from my Epic 4G on Boost Mobile
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
I'm not aware of such guide, but if you understand what is going on in this thread\guide you should be able to have a working epic in VM with little to no problems

according to some people in the forum, roaming to verizon's network only uses 1x speeds, text messages get send\received when ever they want and you might not get incoming calls..

something you should try is the "Roam Control" app..just so you dont have to be switching prls
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Yeah I tried the Verizon PRL and all I got was voice. I'll try roam control and see what happens.

One thing I am noticing is really varying results using speedtest with this phone. I honestly don't know what the baseline should even be... I have towers all over the place near me and am using the latest Sprint PRL but I will sometimes have about 800/500 or faster results, other times it struggles to break 300 in the same spot. I will say my DX on the Verizon contract (that is getting cancelled as soon as I give this boost Epic a good month to be sure I won't have any surprises) does have up and down speed tests too but not as much and when it gets a good ping it really hauls... I suppose that is Verizon's crazy network...

I'm going to read through this whole thread again as I remember seeing a few others having speed issues too... I did notice a big drop in performance with DK28, back on DI18 with the Syndicate rom and I usually can get it to break 500 down but not all the time. Like I said, not even sure what a good baseline is for Sprint/boost.

Anyone have any insight how to crank up the performance any with QPST or is this sort of thing typical? I am taking the speedtest numbers with a grain of salt as my browsing experience isn't really any different from my DX.
[Epic 4G Android Development] LargePrime:
I do not believe there are settings that can help.

There are quite a few users that have commented that Sprints 3g is getting uncharacteristically slow. Some have suggested this is due to sprint revamping every tower in their network this year. Others that Sprint is moving more data with their new phones and has not added bandwidth in the back haul.

I see huge differences between times of use. I go from <30KB during the day to 200KB+ overnight. One day fantastic. Next barely 5KB for hours. That is in one fixed position.

If you find anything out let us know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
below is the reason, me and some others "think" we are having data problems

http://newsroom.sprint.com/press_kits.cfm?presskit_id=19
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
That better be the reason. I'm at the point of trying to put the Epic coming in for my wife on Verizon using about the same method I used to get my Epic onto boost just to see what happens. Consistantly am getting 1000+ easy with my DX and a buddy on T Mobile 3G (not 4G) was pulling over 2000 on every test at work. Whoah I had no idea the little pink network was that good... Still, if Sprint/Boost speeds come back up even to like 700/800 reliably the boost plan is probably worth it. Just seems ridiculous that one of the big networks would let this happen. And I did confirm with a co-worker with an Evo on actual Sprint that he is getting similar crap speeds...

Oh well I still LOVE this phone and if anyone needs any info not mentioned in this thread then PM me. I borked my modem the other night and had to reflash and after doing it again I realized that nowhere in the directions does it mention explicitly which profile goes to 0 and which one goes to 1 in the M.IP settings. Figured it out since you pull the boost profile with the 1 at the end so it gets loaded against 1. So for others... The Sprint haa and aaa keys are entered in profile 0 and the boost keys go to 1.
[Epic 4G Android Development] m4f1050:
Yeah, T-Mobile / SimpleMobile are HSPA, and I believe they are capable of doing 7mb max, where Sprint's 4G is 10mb max (but on every test I do I get no more than 3.5mb, on HSPA (HD2 on Simple Mobile) I was getting Sprint's 4G speed....LOL
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Well I've been getting 700-900 down for the last hour, up still under 300 but whatevs. Can't imagine it has anything to do with the time or day. Phones should be going nuts planning for the weekend.

Edit: just took this beast out to my Parents' house where they are on a different tower and bang. 900 down and 700 up consistently. Time to start calling the boost reps about where I live I suppose...
[Epic 4G Android Development] LargePrime:
Just curious about what you are going to say.

There is not a single boost phone that can get those speeds, as they have no Rev A EVDO phones.

Try it. I see a huge difference.
[Epic 4G Android Development] m4f1050:
Just a side note... Where you will see major difference in speeds between Rev.0 and Rev.A is on the upload speed. In download speeds there isn't that much difference, at least not a major one, something you can live with...an example would be 700k.0 vs. 800k.A
[Epic 4G Android Development] djencode:
Now I'm not sure if anyone else has posted this issue on this board, and there are too many pages to read through, so I will post my issue, and I apologize in advance if it was already asked.

I have successfully gotten my Epic 4g working on Virgin Mobile in Canada, and now I am having an issue getting the data working. I tried this tutorial, but started to get stuck at step 6. To start my donor phone is a blackberry. When I enter in the commands, all the hex values are 0x00, and after DIAG TX Item it gives me an error.

During the process of getting the phone working on Virgin, I had already copied all the information from QPST and loaded it on to this new phone.

I have also tried reading the NV items from the Donor phone, but 2 of them (466 and 1192) show access denied, and when I try writting even the two that I have to the Epic, it says that they are not valid backup files.

Does anyone know what I need to do to get this working?
[Epic 4G Android Development] m4f1050:
FYI:

I have successfully provisioned 3 Epic's (and I did use the 16-digit AAA password from donor, so NO, it does not work with Blackberry)

I did everything on this post + NVItems 466 and 1192 or EvDO would not work. Also this was done after a ##786# reset but that didn't seem to affect any NVitems like it does on the EVO... I did uncheck the EvDO->1x checkmark because that would make the phone connect EvDO then when I accesed the web or internet it would switch to 1xRTT.
