as long as you don't lock up the radio your fine...thats the only thing you can't come back from with odin or anything else...how do you lock up the radio?... by writing NVItems 465,466,1192,1194 in CDMA, after you've written the NVItems, cdma will ask you if you want to reset the phone....if you say yes and it resets the device, AND IOT WILL CHANGE THE MODEM SETTINGS.. MEANING YOU CAN NOT GET back into the phone using ##diagmode#...long story short: you can only write in NVItems in QXDM...the phone needs to remain on until you fiinish writing the NV items in QXDM....then it can be reset for more programing....if you dont believe find out the expensive way..lol the OP can verifiy my claims...Updated to EB13---love it so far..I heard someone say they have sprint tv working...mines isn't..ay advice
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
That long rant didn't make a lot of sense tbh... but I copied my nv items in workshop then used qpst to fill in the pertinent info, been doing it for a long time on boost with many different phones, not just my epic.. never experienced "modem lockup"
[Epic 4G Android Development] m4f1050:
Sprint TV works for the free (crap) stuff, you can't subscribe...why? Take a guess...
[Epic 4G Android Development] blakklanta:
Is there a TP2 to Epic tutorial floating around? My epic is working, but I cant seem to get the correct aa aaa keys.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
You're posting it... the aaa key for boost you can get from the ##3282# write it down or copy and paste.. aaa for the sprint profile is nv item 1192. Ha for both profiles is the string "secret".
[Epic 4G Android Development] blakklanta:
I don't have cdma workshop. Using QPST & QXDM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
You don't need workshop, qxdm reads nv items..
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
I'm really starting to wonder why people are asking so many questions already answered in the original post of this thread...

Also, people should really stop trying to get other random phones to use to get the Epic on boost. Seriously... just sell the phone you have for $50 after you buy whatever worn out (but working) Incognito you find on ebay for $50 to make your money back. You can afford the $200-$300 startup cost for the Epic but not pony up another $50 to get the stupid easy to port phone?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Touch pro is as easy or easier than an incognito.. its just not native to boost, but you previously could get them activated using the sprint website on boost..
[Epic 4G Android Development] blakklanta:
*Changed profile 0 to active. Added ha & aaa keys. No 3G yet. Chris thanks again for the info. Sent u a pm as not to clutter the forum.

The person that helped me go from the tp2, also could not get the 3g working, but he assists others with Evo's daily locally.*

Data is now working. Let me know if you need anything, appreciate the patience.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Elazgar:
Hey, with the mini epic 4g released on MetroPCS is there anyway to get the epic connected to metro? check out this vid of LTE to WiMax http://www.letstalk.com/samsung-galaxy-indulge-metropcs
[Epic 4G Android Development] blakklanta:
Initially my epic was programmed with data from an incognito, and the speed matched my TP2 here in atl. Swapped to my tp2 data profile and lost 50% of the speed. Any thoughts on where, and what I should tweak in qpst?****

1mb down... finally!

Works great - thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] tgrtgr:
thanks for your posts, i have problem with mail notification, is working for some time and after stops, after i restart app and is working and stops..., *#info*1111# showing "message waiting true" - i tryed on 2.1 and 2.2 same - can you help?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
did anyone had problems with 3g data the past hours (3-10-2011, right now is 12:31 PST)???
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Nope. Located in NJ and my speeds have actually gone through the roof lately. Methinks Sprint got done upgrading the towers around here since I was getting like 150kbps up if I was lucky during the day, now I get speeds comparable to Verizon all the time FINALLY.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
Then just a warning, I keep having a lot of 3g issues with the new 1.0.1 syndicate rom eb13..

doES NE one kno how to get mms working on metro pcs ? im stuck its not working
[Epic 4G Android Development] mdleal:
Its your APN setting that need to be changed
[Epic 4G Android Development] killacammiami:
i did that with the apn back up n restore ..... i also switched it when i went to the apn folder ... mmsc url http://mms.metropcs.net:3128/mmsc correct?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chilo141:
will data roaming work if i load a verizon prl to my boost epic? where i live signal sux but as soon as i step out my apartment complex i get about 3 to 4 bars verizon has full bars here
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
it might be possible, someone in socal is claiming in CL that he knows how to have metropcs 4g in the epic, I think is BS

speed goes up and down...for everyone..I keep having this problem since November 2010..

voice mail?? use the apk in the 2nd post in this guide!!!

DO NOT UPDATE THE APP!!! newer versions dont work!!

Back in the day...(lol)... I used to have my epic in metropcs..I dont think there is a MMS fix for metropcs yet...check the guide to have the epic to cricket..because of the similarity..if there is fix for cricket there is fix for metro..

people are suggesting to use the "roam control" app instead.or use the "verizon hack prl" (is in the evo forum)...according to some users you will only get 1x..some others get full 3g speeds....

but I would not recommend doing that..
[Epic 4G Android Development] LargePrime:
I do not think so.

Sprint customers have a roaming agreement. Boost customers do not, so no roaming at all.

But you can try it and tell us what you find.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
There is been several reports in this thread and other forums that us boost mobile users are now able to roam (data only...no voice)

[Epic 4G Android Development] SweetBearCub:
Leviuqse,

Thanks for this awesome guide!

I'm having a problem at step 13, and would appreciate if you could help me out. My donor phone is a Sprint Incognito on Boost service, and when I try to restore the saved file to the offline part of the Epic, it fails, saying the two don't match, with no option to override.

I'm guessing this is a very important step, and without it, it won't work.

My donor Incognito's window title is "SURF6250-GWZRF6200 (NAND)" slightly different from the offline option you direct me to in the guide.

Can this be worked around, or do I need a Boost Mobile-branded Incognito specifically?

Also, are there any Incognito drivers for 64 bit Windows 7? The ones I found work only on 32 bit Windows XP.

Or, once I've read all the data from my donor Incognito (the HA and AA keys and the QPST file with tabs that start off "NAS", "System", "SMS", etc..), is the need for the Incognito drivers gone?

Thanks a ton.. There's a donation in it for you if you can help me get it working.. :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] chilo141:
i downloaded roamcontrol and ive tried to use the dec@sprintpcs.com and also hex@sprintpcs.com with no data roaming but when i do dec i can use the stock hotspot but when i use hex i cannot it says sign in user name or password invalid....also when i put dec@hcm.sprint.com i only get 1xrtt i have to put hex@hcm.sprint.com....is that ok? cuz after putting in hex i get 3g...whatever work i guess...right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chilo141:
i got a question...if hands free activation comes up...will it activate the phone by itself or after inputing all the info it wont come up anymore? cuz i repaired it and input my mdn and msid and hands free activation pops up
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
check your PMs, I replied to your PM that you sent me..

and no drivers for 64bit, if you dont have a xp computer around (like me) do it in a virtual XP machines, use the XP mode in windows 7 (pro and ultimate only) or VMWARE

whatever it works!!! lol..

btw the stock hotspot doesnt work!!!!! use wireless tether for root users..you can use the new version too!!! inside the new version setup the phone to "epic 4g" and the thether mode to "samsung something"..

no..the stock activation phone thing doesnt work..that pop up will go away once you set up all the 3g data info from the incognito to the epic..

you can also use titanium backup to "freeze" or delete the "activation 1.0" system app
[Epic 4G Android Development] Danbuffalo:
I tried to search around the forum before I started to ask. Does anyone know how to read the data from incognito. What happen was I installed the driver of SPC-2700. The device is being recognized in windows xp but there is no com port of Incognito shown in the device manager. What should I do to connect the incognito to diag mode to read the data from the donor? like for instance in evo you have to type ##3424# to get into Diag Mode.

How do I do it here? I just need the code or way to get it recognized in com port and then find it in qspt.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
if you installed the right drivers, no need to dial any special "diag" codes, the computer will recognize it as "sanyo modem" or something like that..

try all com ports you see, if none, then uncheck the "show serial and USB\QC diagnostic ports only"

there is been a lot of requests for the drivers..Im going to PM the mod to see if i can upload that..

thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] Danbuffalo:
You might be right. I might be missing some driver in incognito. I was trying to work on it till 2am this morning. Barely had enough sleep. It could be why. Please upload the driver if you can.

Thanks a mil!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
drivers uploaded..

check 1st post.
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Finding those drivers was a royal pain when I did it lol.

Still having all sorts of issues with my roms and vm notifier staying on. I actually updated to the latest version that keeps an icon in the bar up top to keep the program running and so far so good.

[Epic 4G Android Development] chilo141:
Guys so I have the epic on boost but I need it back on sprint I forgot to back up the keys..and changed msl to 0s I reactivated it on sprint but only get text and voice no data....does that mean ill never be able to get data again? Sprint said I have to buy a new phone
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Just change the msl back an do. ##786# reset...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
did it worked??

I'm curious if it did..
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
It resets to factory settings, it does not restore the keys.. but it will restore everything else and run the hands free activation and over the air provisioning which will add the keys in.. if it doesn't then update profile..

Probably need to be on the stock rom...
[Epic 4G Android Development] chilo141:
i put the msl to what sprint says the msl is and did a ##786# reset now waiting on activation then will try profile update if activation fails...btw its on stock

it didnt activate so i manually activated it..handsfree activation came back up....waiting for activation

Nothin happened....I guess this epic will never work on sprint again :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] chilo141:
This is weird I call my voicemail and someone else picks up...maybe they gave me the wrong msid?
[Epic 4G Android Development] luvjones305:
hi

hi guys i just got my phone on boostmobile an i want to know which rom is the best u guys use so far on here. i dont want to loose my mms or break my 3g which rom is friendly to use an if u live in miami i need some one to help me make my epic send pictures i only can receive ill pay you up front hit me in my inbox but i love my 3g is real fast of the charts download 1733kbps upload 983kbps wow 50 bucks a month/shrinkage good bye metro piece of crap lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikedeezy:
also would this pretty much work for verizon phones as well?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Changing roms doesn't mess with the data settings, but you will need to do the backup and restore apn like descibed in the op everytime you change roms for working mms
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Theoretically with a little modification and enough work it will work to make any cdma phone work on boost...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
IMO best battery rom will be the new frozen syndicate 1.0.2, BUT due to no journaling, I keep having a lot FC, ect

the one that I had many many problems is bonsai, my 3g data kept going away...

Epic experience is a nice good battery rom, but only the 2.1 version with 1.43 phoenix kernel.

midnight rom didnt see any good improvement

I would like to tell you that epic roms are not as great as other phones...my captivate running firefly has all kinds of mod, themes, apks ported from other phones, fixes, even OTA updates and fixes.

also....im jealous of your 3g speeds....I used to be able to get 1mbits download speeds last year..i now barely get 500kbps if lucky
[Epic 4G Android Development] luvjones305:
thanks

Don't be jealous at my house iget between 700 to 1000 download an upload is 563 to 900 but when I leave my apartment building an out an about it goes up to 1200 to 1900 if I'm in a good evdo Rev area its all about location I think u need to reflash ur phone I'm not sure but thanks for the info
[Epic 4G Android Development] d4redevil:
Very official thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Boooooommm:
AOSP based roms tend to have the voicemail notifier built in if VVM is not installed (which is far less naggy and intrusive than the one you available on the Market... hate it!). Just thought I should bring that to light for you guys hehe.
[Epic 4G Android Development] d4redevil:
ALMOST 1mb SPEED 969 down 270 up on syndicate rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] luvjones305:
Nice speed

hey do u use the speed.net speed test app from the market too right an i think u can get better speeds its all about location to get great speed. Today i had download speeds of 1552 an upload 763 but i was at the mall but by my house earlier i had download speed 2129 kbps upload speed 1493 kbps its all about location so don't panic guys make sure you all on high rev-a the best
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbthom4:
what ramifications would you foresee in attempting the verizon prl hack?
[Epic 4G Android Development] luvjones305:
hi

i tried the voicemail app it work for one day now i check my voice mail i had 26 voicemail that i miss i even ignored it in my task killer to see if it killed it when my screen is off same thing still dont notify me whats the issue help
[Epic 4G Android Development] d4redevil:

[Epic 4G Android Development] luvjones305:
yo

earlier in the morning my download speed was low it was 124kbps an my upload was really high 8434kbps i did another test it went to 1650kbps download an upload 486kbps its all about location an i seen a post that they can get the 4g to work on there phone is that true cuz boostmobile dont have 4g i know its a sprint company but wow if that can happen ill be real happy
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbthom4:
the 4g worked on my phone in Cincinnati and Columbus while i was driving through a couple weeks ago
[Epic 4G Android Development] luvjones305:
wowwwwwwwwwwww

whoaaaaaa are u serious well i got to go look for that forum cuz i ignored it i try the 4g it took me to a sprint page to sign up for 4g but i have free sprint tv an all the other sprint apps work but i just cant access that 4g i still dont believe it i got to see this on youtube lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] d4redevil:
it was on the bonsai rom, now i am on syndicate and I reach over 1m, just tried 4G in a area where I know FOR SURE sprint has STRONG 4G, and it didnt work..-=\
[Epic 4G Android Development] luvjones305:
NAW

I dont think 4g works yo im in miami an 4g over here is strong an i cant access that
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbthom4:
i dont know man worked for me. i was running bonsai 4 all eb13. it just worked. im heading to cincy again tomorrow, ill test and see if i cant get video of it for ya.
[Epic 4G Android Development] d4redevil:
When turn 4g and open browser i also get redirected to a sprint site sayin error with data.

samsung epic, boost mobile 3g, bonsai!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbthom4:
ok, so the 4g no longer works on my phone. I checked it today, testing against a sprint evo to ensure 4g was actually available. i have a theory as to why it originally worked and no longer does. when i used it before i had just flashed to boost, and my sprint account was still active, so i was technically still using sprint service. i change my mind about the availability of boost 4g, i don't think it is possible
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ma$etas:
4g is capable on boost remember GOOGLE is your friend thats all im allowed to say on this site about that matter though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] luvjones305:
HELLO

Do any one has the stock zip file for eco5 froyo update i want to install that to see if my picture messaging can finally send instead of receiving only an oh thanks

[Epic 4G Android Development] cobra85ec:
pm me.. ill try to help u
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Why don't you do what it says in the op? Use apn backup and restore, delete your apn and restore the one he has for download.. its there for a reason. There is an mms gateway you have to delete. You can use the apn restore way, or you can edit the telephony sql db
[Epic 4G Android Development] killacammiami:
which rom are u using ?? and how did u get everything to work? because my mms isnt .... Plz let me kno wat rom ur epic is using.. im also on metropcs

Does anyone know how to change the piorty of my boost epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] soulassasin187:
Quick question. Is it possible to update to the newest sprint update without losing any of the boost settings? Is it safe to update?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
whats a piorty???

safe to update, you will loose the ability to send and receive MMS, BUT there is a fix for that!!

check step 18 in the the 1st post or look for the apn file somewhere in this guide..the instructions are in the post where the file is included (i think post 54)
[Epic 4G Android Development] d4redevil:

wow your speeds are very very low compare to mines is there a strong sprint coverage up their or not
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikedeezy:
so how would you go about porting a verzion phone over? also this 4g thing is killing me can anyone pm or give a clue? with the the keywords being 4g and boost google is not your friend..
[Epic 4G Android Development] kbnguy:
Which Verizon phone?

First off, most verizon phone (not all) use only 1 profile (profile 0) for 3G and the radio (baseband) will call 10.key in DMU folder for 1X where as sprint (in this case, Boost) use 2 profiles...If I was you don't bother with vzw phone unless 3g coverage in your area is so good and you don't care about 1x.

Do you have a working 4G mac address? if not, dont waste your time...
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Wow, lots of questions here that have already been answered in the first page. Anyone not able to send MMS (pics and vids via text), check the first page and it TELLS YOU EXACTLY HOW TO GET MMS WORKING ON FROYO.... I swear nobody ever reads anything anymore...

On another note, I am still having VM notifier issues.

-Yes I have the file posted on the front page

-No I do not update it

-It works the very first time and then never works again. I am beginning to think it is the Frozen rom but I want to keep that rom because it gets rid of carrier IQ and it really cranks my speeds up. I routinely break 1000k down with the frozen rom and stay around 600 with stock...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
do you have a task killer app? if so exclude the VM.

do you have autostarts? do the same thing

I suggest unistall VM, reboot, install it again, open it, and check in the preferences "repeat notifications" and "use inexact repeating"

also, you might want to contact the dev of your ROM..some roms have an "aggressive" background app killer which will affect VM notifier if it is in place..
[Epic 4G Android Development] killacammiami:
does this method work for metropcs i cant find help ne where plz help
[Epic 4G Android Development] luvjones305:
wow

u really lost metropcs don't have 3g they running on 1x service an yes metropcs they do have 4g but sprint phones run on wimax so it will never work on the 4g. u only can use their slow 1x service but i really don't think its for you this is all sprint/boost. find somebody in miami to flash your phone over to boost an come back an holla at us we can help you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] luvjones305:

I cannot find anything on it...
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
Can someone help me with this:

QXDM 3.9.19 would not install as it asked for internet explorer 5 or above. QXDM 3.12.714 installs but does not have a command box. There is a command bar at the top, but it is greyed out.

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/windows-mobile-software/46873-updated-03-27-2011-qpst-qxdm.html

Am I missing a step where I have to put the incognito into command mode or something?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ma$etas:
What method are you asking about?

Also it is true that you will never have 4g working on it BUT the reason is because the epic comes with 4g access through wimax and metros 4g net is through LTE like verizons

Killacammiami you dont need to find someone in miami to do it you can just keep searching on here the op of this thread already layed out how to do much of the work needed to be done. besides anyone there is gonna want to charge you about $150 to do it when you can do it yourself.
[Epic 4G Android Development] luvjones305:
nope

nope its only 45 to 65 bucks to get your phone completely flash to metropcs an its 80 to 100 bucks to flash your phone to boostmobile an pay your first month on boost trust me its on craigslist in miami or all the stores down here its cheap trust me i know an in california they charge way more to this for them out there some cities don't even know all this exist like my friends in minnesota they think im lying lol
