NEED HELP!!!

noob here... I managed to flash my epic 4g to boost mobile and everything pretty much works... but i my qik video says im not in 3g and i see that i am on 1x.... i am running a 2.2 custom rom... is there anyway i can fix this and get this on 3g?
[Epic 4G Android Development] genax:
yo

even though i dont have Boost and most of these pricks forget to say it. thanks bud!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ifuxwituz:
I dont know if these settings for MIP and PPP config work for some of you guys but these are the settings that worked for me for htc evo (its usually the same for all android phones you are trying to get working for boostmobile)

in M.IP settings for

profile 0 the NAI is MEID(DEC)@hcm.sprint.com

Example: 26844444444444@hcm.sprint.com

home address: 0.0.0.0

primary ha address: 68.28.15.12

secondary HA address: 68.28.31.12

Profile 1

NAI firstnamelastname@myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com

home adress: 0.0.0.0

primary ha address: 255.255.255.255

secondary ha address: 0.0.0.0

PPP Config

Um settings:

tethered nai: boostmobile.com

user ID: phonenumber@boostmobile.com

check the 1xEVDO->1x box

AN settings

User ID: 26844444444444444@hcm.sprint.com (this is just an example you replace the 268****** number with your MEID(DEC) number

and it should work

*this is side tracked from what i posted above but, if you are NOT getting 3g evdo speeds make sure your donor is a 3G EVDO enabled phone like the OP stated. I am currently not getting 3G speeds on my phone because i used the Samsung mirro (dont ask why) as a donor and it is not 3G enabled so i will have to go purchase a Boostmobile Incognito now....(BLACKBERRY'S DO NOT WORK AS DONORS [at least from what i know])
[Epic 4G Android Development] indieman91:
NEED HELP!!!

once you break 3g... is there anyway you can get it back... i had flash few months ago... but didnt know if you modify you modem you will break your 3g... if you could help me with this i would really appreciated it
[Epic 4G Android Development] biggnasty989:
Does anyone know if this can be done on an Epic with a bad ESN? I'm using Midnight rom 2.7 EXT4 on Crickets 60.00 Plan. I am sick of dealing with Crickets ghetto trash reps!

The phone was purchased through craigslist and I've checked with sprint and it is a bad ESN phone. Since the phone will work on sprints network, will that block boost customers from using Bad ESN Sprint phones?

An answer would be great guys.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Poryhack:
It doesn't matter what ESN is on your Epic because changing it to the ESN of the Incognito is a required part of the process that comes before this guide (getting the Epic to connect to Boost in the first place).

Can't go into much more detail without getting moderated...

help please 3g

I already have a boost epic that I brought already flashed it was froyo 2.2.1based nebula rom dk28 modem, rom that was originally on there was and I was able to get boost accnt and setup, now my issue I ran into originally was mms and very slow 3g speeds.top speeds from speedtest app in market was 0.11 and upload of 0.4 consistently.I was unable to send recieve mms until I read online about froyo issues with boost mms through this thread and also different modems so I decided to go stock,(IM ALSO NEW TO ANDROID,switch from WINDOWMS MO)so I was able to do some more diggin and downgraded to stock rom and modem with odin,now mms works great but no luck with 3 speeds at all, I am in the south fl area with good 3g coverage, speed.test app brings back download speed of 0.13 mbps dl speeds consistently and upload speeds of 0.19,I also have a friend who has a boost device which is a boost epic now running same speed test app next to me averaging 1.47 mbps dl and good uploads also, I checked prl mines was at 31001 I believe or something like that I ended up following the guide to change prl now my prl is at 60674 and speeds are still the same ,PLEASE HELP ME FIX MY 3G YOUR ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
thanks for info..will update the guide with your useful info
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
if you break the 3g in your epic..you need to redo the steps to get the right ha and aaa key again in your epic from the incognito.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
what he said..

tip: bad esn phones are usually way cheaper than clean esn ones.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
I have the same problem..my wife's epic some days has great speeds but mine, which is right next to it, will have <200kpbs download speeds and VICE VERSA.

THIS DOESN'T NOT SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE PHONE

seems like sprint\boost is doing some network changes, especially if your area is currently rolling out 4g...

when will be solved?? i dont know

also, not only boost mobile users are having this problems..sprint users too..there is thread about it in the evo forums.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brianhot1:
Thanks for your reply @Leviuqse,I guess I just have to wait it,would it make difference if 4g was already deployed yet in my area for speeds,and has anyone successfully found a 4g solution yet for boost Epic or Evo,just googling the topic brings you to alot of forums and ideas but no bypass tho,sorry if I am asking in the wrong area, im just really into my new phone
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
i dont know much about BB but older phones sometimes had nv items stored in files you could retreive with bitpim, thats how first started getting phones on boost with the w385...

edit: for that matter have you tried ##DATA# then edit.. to just see if you could read them? the aaa and ha keys? on WM phones you can even copy and paste them...
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
sounds like you dont have your MDN and MSID programmed correctly.. they are different on boost..
[Epic 4G Android Development] m4f1050:
No, wrong MSID/MDN you get the "Your account could not be validated." The EVO did the provisioning and it still got Error 16. I switched to a K1m and got everything working again. So for the record, Sprint Reclaim (which I think it's a Sprint Exclusive phone) does not work as donor. The Reclaim worked on the account, I could call, receive calls, text, and internet on Boost, but couldn't program Epic or EVO with it's info... Odd...
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikedeezy:
quick question. where do i find the programs to do this? specifically the sanyo driver cant find them anywhere...
[Epic 4G Android Development] pimpin oh boy:
Guys in really confused about something part 14 where i enter my sprint and boost ha and aaa codes which set (boost or sprint) and where do i enter them the the guild says to enter both but it will only take 32 numbers
[Epic 4G Android Development] djencode:
Unfortunately the blackberry only has ##SPCCODE(press call button) to view it's programming screen. it has HA address and an A-Key, but the A-Key is blank, and all the HA address info is blank too...
[Epic 4G Android Development] pimpin oh boy:
which ha and aaa codes do i enter boost or sprint
[Epic 4G Android Development] m4f1050:
Well, to start out, the HA password on both Profile 0 (provisioning) and Profile 1 (data) are "secret" no need to change those.

The provisioning AAA (profile 0) is 16-digit hex characters (32 digits total) and you do that on the EPIC in 2 NVItems, #466 (1 instance) and #1192 (2 instances) after a 10 (which is the length.) This you get from the donor phone. You can read NVItems or use QXDM...

For the data AAA (profile 1) is a 6-digit alphanumeric password, you program this via ##3282# on the EPIC or using QPST. Again, this you can get from the donor via NVItems or QXDM.

For more information please SEARCH.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikedeezy:
is this gudie jsut for data or the whole shebang? i got 3g working now how do i get mms,phone, etc working
[Epic 4G Android Development] 6thgear76:
Hey justed wanted to tell you i was able to get another epic hooked up on boost...with combination of the steps from ya post and the video i told u about..dnt know if my web will work yet, but will keep u posted..again..i have EPIC ON BOOST BABY...LOL haha !! YOUR POST IS GREAT SON... :D:D..now to see if that web jumps up
[Epic 4G Android Development] soulassasin187:
I have everything working on the Epic. Bit I do have a question. When you ##3282# and go to "multimedia" what should the proxy settings be? It still has sprint settings. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pimpin oh boy:
I got it thanks man If your over 21 i owe you a beer
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
mmsc should be http://mm.myboostmobile.com and gateway and port should be blank..

Don't drink, but you can hit the "thanks" button if you found the post usefull. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] 6thgear76:
I wrote the shared/secret ha & aaa to the profile 0 and 1...but still having issues with data....when i do *#info*1111# it saying that its failing to connect....GSM disconnects..my network is set to unknown...what should it be set EDVO?...the web is the only thing i cant get to function
[Epic 4G Android Development] 6thgear76:
How do you chage the pirmary ha to dynamic on profile 1...255 255 255 255 doesnt do it..my incog says dynamic..??
[Epic 4G Android Development] pimpin oh boy:
this is what i did

Well, to start out, the HA password on both Profile 0 (provisioning) and Profile 1 (data) are "secret" no need to change those.

[Epic 4G Android Development] 6thgear76:
I found the 16 hex password,it 6 digit one i dont see.. i'm looking in 465 466 192 & 1194...can u be more specific..do you know what numbers come before the 6 digit aaa password?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pimpin oh boy:
go to part 6 of this guide and do that and you will get two sets of hex codes one sprint and one boost the the sprint 32 digits aaa you put on profile 0 and 6 digits boost aaa code you put on profile 1
[Epic 4G Android Development] 6thgear76:
Ok i did the 466 and 1192 change; 466 one instances 1192 two instances after 10...then i went to profiles 0,1 and changed the aaa's like in step 6 with the retrieved aaa's from the read i did....you said there was no need to change the shared ha's so i didnt...the 466& 1992 password and shared/ secrect passes are different, idk if that matters...ok wrote all that to phone it reset but still say no network connection....*#info*1111# shows me on cdma-edvo rev-a..when i run a ping i'm getting "fail host unreachable" ...the bottom says preferred network unknown...mmsc..is set to mm.myboostmobile.com and i still cant get net unless i wifi off my home net....mms work fine but no pic...still using 2.1 could that be the problem..?
[Epic 4G Android Development] 6thgear76:
Even after reseting the phone nemerous times its not picking up the network...set to prl 60675...are ppl only getting 3g while usung wifi? does phone need to be rooted...to get net?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pimpin oh boy:
For my ha I put the word secret on both profile try that
[Epic 4G Android Development] 6thgear76:
are u saying you used the code from 466 &1192 in qpst...for the aaa's..on prof 0,1...and the 6 digit from diag rx...for the ha on prof 1...
[Epic 4G Android Development] 6thgear76:
I can finally put my Devil Up

Ok after running into the glass window 100x's....I finally got it!!! 3G has popped up!!! everything is working mms and pic mail to...off to tests speeds...Thanks you agian to the MAN Leviuqse!!!! and to Pimpin oh Boy...love u guys!!!:cool::cool::cool::D
[Epic 4G Android Development] pimpin oh boy:
not problem man I know the feeling took me a week to get 3g working what 3g speeds did you get
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
I've noticed that 3g speeds are all over the place. There is one tower around here that must have already been upgraded that consistantly hits over 1400 down. Most of the time I range between 300-600 tho... slow but ok for texting/mms and email. I don't really surf around that much on my phone anyway and all the forums I use are via an app or tapatalk which these speeds are fine for...

For the price and no contract there is 0 reason to complain.

As for all the ppl having issues. You are either not following directions or not using an incognito. If you have access to boost then stop trying to use other phones and spend the $50 on ebay for a phone we know works 100%.

sorry guys, I been a little busy nowdays,

I would like to thank everyone!!

anyways...I would like to share something

I used to be running dk28 roms but now that the official 2.2 update is going to get released tomorrow (FINALLY), I odin back to 2.1 and now I'm getting GREAT 1 mpbs 3g speeds

with all the dk28 roms i was getting 50-600 kbps..

EDIT 1: NEVERMIND!!!..lol...is getting all slow again..booooo
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
I got better speeds for like a day... then even on 2.1 my speeds sucked. Still are not great but liveable at least. Eagerly awaiting 2.2 to drop. Btw why odin back to 2.1? We aren't going to see the ota so just wait for an update.zip or a .tar and then do it instead of having unrooted eclair for a few days...

[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
Just letting you know, IF sprint updates their phones via OTA the same way verizon does it, by MEID, we are going to be one of the last ones to get this update since...you know why...

anyways, you need to FLASH BACK TO 2.1.1 via ODIN, my past experiences with the droid 1 and droid x with leaked updates is that the official update WILL "softbrick" your phone if you have the leaked update installed or a custom ROM.

I just went back to the stock 2.1 via ODIN and my 3g still works, the MMS fix needs to be done again but thats it.

I will be your Guinean pig when the official 2.2 updates comes out and will post results.
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Woot, woot, just Odin'd the official EB13 update literally like 2 minutes ago. EB13 modem is pre-packed into this rom. 3G IS STILL WORKING FINE. Still have to reload my APNs and get all my apps but first I'll need to re-root with 2.5.5 which is reported to work with EB13. Do not I repeat, DO NOT, try to use EXT4 or CWM3 since EB13 is RFS proprietary. Be patient and wait for the devs to start releasing custom kernels and roms for EB13 which should be within hours if not already. There is at least one deodexed and pre-rooted rom already out...

Any more questions feel free to ask. As more of us on boost move to EB13 I'm sure we'll have to help each other fix a few SNAFUs but I hope not...

edit: One click 2.5.5 works fine. Rooted and running great. Noticibaly smoother than DK28 on first impression but I might just be wanting to think that lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 6thgear76:
Im getting 4G too bro!! way cool on 2.1..
[Epic 4G Android Development] 6thgear76:
I never had a prob with the MMS and i never rooted the phone...so that may clear up a few things.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
new froyo update doesnt brake the 3g settings

you still need to fix the MMS server settings and the APN too..

just like DK28
[Epic 4G Android Development] dhinez:
I flashed to EB13 and I'm loving it so far. My 3g speeds went from 100-200 kbps to 700-800 kbps on the download side. Sprint Tv and Navigation work too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] m4f1050:

hey guys i have a question. now i know boost runs on the sprint network but wouldnt running a sprint prl and not boost prl be considered roaming? and if used alot roaming technically be liable to get disconnected? ive seen alot of people on sprint force roaming on verizon and get disconnected..

i just want to be sure. thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
Not sure why, but is not considered roaming.

[Epic 4G Android Development] m4f1050:
Boost CDMA uses same Sprint towers, Roaming is when you have no signal using the Sprint tower and phone switches to a non-Sprint tower. Boost PRL doesn't have the information so it doesn't connect to Verizon tower. Sprint PRL does have information but you will get a message saying you are roaming and that you have to provide credit card info in order to use the service.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
Mmmhh well..boost doesn't have my CC but I can still use roaming

If you are just trying to restore the phone to stock sprint settings just do a rtn reset, it will restore everything back to stock, data mms and everything.. butit will also delete your data
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
can't find my back ups (by that i mean i probably didnt made one..lol)

anyways..I believe you actually need to ODIN back to stock if you want to have the right sprint settings..

also, pray to god you made a back up for your original sprints' aaa and ha and a QCN file, otherwise does are gone.....FOREVER...and ever..

not sure if doing a DMU reset works in sprint.

If all u need is the mms apn, then every time you flash a new rom its reset back to sprint info.. but a rtn reset ##786# resets everything to factory and erases user data..
