Oh dear. WoW.

I have no real idea if the Samsung donor phone you have will work as well as an Incignito for this procedure, but based on what you've said so far, I'm leaning towards no.

For example, that PPP username you listed? On my Incognito it was a slight variation of firstnamelastname@sprintpcs.com

As far as the HA and AAA keys, I suggest that you re-read the guide. Once I finished with this, I backed up the Epic's changed settings in QPST and haven't fired up any of the tools for a while now. So any more advice I might give you on what goes where may or may not be correct knowing my memory.

Again, I suggest that you replace your donor Boost phone with an Incognito, provision it on your Boost account, confirm that the 3G works, and go from there. People in this thread have done it with an Incognito, and it works.

Also, search YouTube for "Epic Boost", and look for a 2 part video, 9 and 7 minutes long, if I recall. They provide a slightly different method of doing this - But the video's author (who is not me) still used an Incognito to do it.

As far as cheap Incognito's, try Craigslist or eBay. Whichever way you get one, it must not have a bad ESN.

Good luck!

Again, like I've said like 100 times in this thread... spend the $40 for a used incognito and stop trying to get ppl to make guesses at how to make your whatever phone work or how to get your verizon blackberry on boost... seriously. This guide is how to get an Epic on boost data using an Incognito... so use it as such and stop spamming questions that have 0 relevance to the thread.

If you follow this guide 100% you will get the data working. I used the guide without reading anyone else's posts or suggestions and it worked great. I'm posting from my boost Epic right now.

I just did this last night well someone did it for me. Well my problem is the Internet keeps going in and out. Anyone have a fix for this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
Pretty much if the internet comes in with 3g, that's all the guide can do. After that the issue is Boost/Sprint not supplying its best internet service to this network.

Has anyone ever speed tested 3g of a sprint epic-4g side-by-side with a flashed boost epic-4g, especially with 4g turned off?

I have a feeling we may be throttled on the server side.

I would like to say that I have added in the 2nd post of this guide, a list of users that has donated to my jagerbomb foundation please thank them since without them I would have not been able to get drunk last weekend ..lol..

anyways..I been getting a looooooooooot of inquires asking for help to have the 3g data working in the epic when the 3g data donor is not an incognito. Please keep in mind that I do NOT ( I repeat, DO NOT) have all phones in the world. Because of this I and many here wont be able to help you to get the aaa and ah from a different phone. This guide was made specifically for the incognito and epic but the basics to have any other phone working are covered in this guide. If you are going to use other phones you most likely will be needing different drivers, diagnosis codes, phone master passwords, different qpst\cdmaWS versions, ect, ect ,ect

and again, if you had flashed phones before, you wont have much trouble. THIS GUIDE IS FOR ADVANCED USERS (this is stated at the beginning of the guide)

last thing, if you are having problems with having the data working, CHECK FOR TYPOS EVERYWHERE this is the one and only cause of 3g problems!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
I need to donate to that fund, just maybe a different alcohol fund since Jager tastes like liquid ass lol.

And yeah its kind of sad how many ppl on here won't just go get an incognito fo whatever reason. If they have enough to drop $200-$300 on a used or NIB Epic then there is no reason they can't spring for some beat to hell incognito that still works to pull the info from...

It most likely is. Boost cdma runs on sprints cdma but its not the exact same

You upgraded to gb with the leak?

Have you tried going back to froyo and then looking for what you need

no the officail GingerBread is out .. from sprint ... . just go to system updates htc software ... and update .. i have been trying ruu ,, but keep getting error code 140..

so i feel like ass for upgrading .. and with out root i can down grade .. so if any one here has cdma ws 3.6 or + can u search possible locations for the meid .. cause if not im out of gas .. i got as far as 0000 out esn .. but the relized ohh crap no meid... .almost freaked when i couldent get the esn to come back but got the phone back online with 1xxxxxx de activated incog for now ...can some one with 2.3 run some scans and make a list of possible meid locations thanks in advance
[Epic 4G Android Development] SweetBearCub:
HTC? You do realize you're working with a *Samsung* phone not an HTC, right? Official Gingerbread has not yet been released for the Epic 4G. If you somehow applied an HTC update to your Samsung phone.. I'd call it toast.

As far as ESN's and MEID's, why did you try to change them at all? The OP's guide doesn't say to do that, in any way, shape, or form. Also, discussing ESN cloning on this forum, and most others, is illegal.

If you're going off the videos I suggested you look up a few posts back, I can't help you, as I am not the author of the videos. Only the video's author can help you.

My gut feeling is that you do not understand what you are doing here. The OP warned you in the 1st post that this was for ADVANCED FLASHERS ONLY. Maybe you should learn more before you attempt this again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jraz305:
you are right , i am in the samsung thread but its still the same .. like i said the offcial 2.3 update is out , and i never said anything about cloneing u did ....ur not soppose to mention those things... in the case that there are people with an evo reading this thread , before they jump ship or run in to this problem for the newer updated 2.3 devices people will run in to this issue , so i guess in favor of trying to fix my issue ... at the same time its an early warning ,to notify other users .. that they might run in to this wall ,, i mean why else would u be trying to fix your 3g data on boost with this device .. i mean how did u even get the phone on the network .... and plus u already own the phones .. right or wrong ... just adding a newdiscovery to the thread thats about getting ur 3g data working ......

I have a question i have a epic on boost. And im thinking about getting a prevail from bestbuy. If i wanted to switch back and forth from my epic to prevail on boost what would i need t do? I lost my msid nuber or the epic when i called but i still got my esn number and i sure i can go in and get it witha code. So it it possible to go back and forth?
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Again, this guide is for the incognito... if you were to have an incognito and an epic you would just turn one off to use the other, never both on at the same time. However, why the hell would you want to use a boost phone vs the epic? That's like choosing to drive a Kia over a BMW with gas costing the same...

Easy because for somereason the data connection on here is ****ty. It wont connect to the net half the time and when it does it dropps the connection.

Try a different ROM and update your prl manually (link is in 2nd post).

I had trouble with 3g data using syndicate 1.1.0

I'm currently using midnight ROM 5.3 Awareness Edition JOURNAL ON

this has been the most reliable ROM for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] derrickmd18:
i'm running froyo 2.2.1 and EC05 stock rom and all I flashed to stock rom and then did the internet sync thing to have to flashed to boost. so I don't think it updated the prl or anything

I have my Evo on Boost but I can't get data working at all. I've tried just about everything I know to try. Can anyone help? I set my profiles both up and set the active profile to 0 and it reboots my phone after writing but when I go back and read it using QPST (Service Programming) it shows under M.IP that the active user is 1 and also says that on the phone. Does anyone know why it's doing this? I then see data call failures on my phone with error code 67. I then tried setting the same Boost profile settings and what not that are found in this forum post and now I get error code 75 which says system error, sign in failed. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Nevermind! Fixed. Was entering the wrong hex for my AAA secret in profile 1. Woohoo!
[Epic 4G Android Development] derrickmd18:
Doing the prl update tomorrow. What ino do i need to try and save? Also if i flash to midnight rom what would ineed to save before i try? I dont have my donor phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
midnight rom will not break your 3g settings, apart from backing up your apps\data ect, I recommend downloading apn backup & restore from the market, back up your current apn (MMS settings) and after your flash the rom redownload the app and delete the current APN and restore the one you backup. dont forget you still need to change the MMSC link in the #3282# menu
[Epic 4G Android Development] derrickmd18:
I dont know how this happened but yesterday my phone desided to work on 4g. I thought it was a mistake so i been doing speedtest sure enough its pulling 3.5mb a second. I have a epic and i cut off sprint and the phone is on boost. I dont know how but boost has 4g for some werid way.

[Epic 4G Android Development] derrickmd18:
Yeah im very serious. I sent you a message. Hit me up by tomorrow because im updating my prl and it might break the 4g. Only reason im updating it is because 3g keeps going in and out and i keep having to put it in airplne mode and out of airplne mode to get it working again. 4g work great just in som areas it doesnt work and 3g lik i said keeps dropping so no internet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Lol same questions, diff page of thread. Switching roms will not break 3g, only thing you have to do that is different from an actual Sprint Epic is restore the boost apn file for mms to work and that takes literally 5 seconds.

Prl update does not mess anything up at all.

Profile update?

After working for a couple of months, I now get an error 67 registration failure.

My first thought is that sprint's network is down. I have no way to test that though except to wait.

My second thought is to check if my donor phone has internet when I get home. If it does, and the epic does not, I guess I'll go through these steps again. I have no idea why it would have failed. I was using data one second and the next had no access. Nothing force closed. No reboots

I've looked up this problem and found a suggestion for a profile update. Is that possible on an epic on boost? Is it safe? How would I do it?

I've seen mentions in this thread about PRL updates. I don't think the cell tower configuration of my area has changed since I first activated the phone that it could solve any problem.

So guys, what would you do if your 3g suddenly conked out?
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheDub:
Hello,

I have a few questions...

And I finally found them in the 47 pages.

i just went to a stock rom and flashed and not I don't have internet. and i'm getting a sprint activation screen. anyone know how to fix this? I backed up my programming and installed it and still no internet. I can make calls and text but no internet. went into to the first screen and tried those setting and still nothing i did the ##786. went to the programmer and reloaded teh file I had backed up and its still nothing
[Epic 4G Android Development] O.oa:
I'm going to have to second this. Mine suddenly stopped working this afternoon. I thought it was a tower related issue, but now that I'm out of that area it's still happening.

EDIT: On a whim I manually updated the PRL and that fixed the data issues. HTH
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Some of these used epics are getting pretty up there age wise, like 2+ years. If you happened to get one with a super old prl file that might have been a problem. I still have never had any issues jumping from rom to rom, flashing modems, odining etc... *knocks on wood*

Not sure what is up with ppls phones crapping out and the boost info getting nuked. If you are trying to update and to the full factory reset from the phone's hidden dialer menu then yeah that will happen, ask me how I know. I will say again though that if you are PROPERLY flashing roms and using Odin the right way there isn't anything you can do to change the things you changed in CDMA workshop...

A 2+ year old epic? You know this phone has not been out for even a year yet right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
I manually switched to prl 01120 along the way, but that wasn't the problem.

When I got home, I put the donor phone on and guess what? Error 67. But it gave me the option of restarting the internet or something, after which it got on.

The epic still was not working so I knew I'd have to do the dance again. Good thing I had both spc's already written down. With both spc's I don't need cdma workshop at all.

I find that getting the com port from the device manager and connecting to that port with qpst before going to qxdm works better with my config.

But anyway, get into service programming and see that I have an all new boost mobile ID. My previous one had been with sprint. My new one is with boostmobile. My new one also has a 01 after my name.

Copy that and all of the ha and aaa passwords and I'm back on my feet. It may have taken 20 minutes including finding the necessary software that I keep in torrents.

Thanks a lot Leviuqse

[Epic 4G Android Development] AndroidMilos:
Leviuqse,

Thank you for the posting. I followed it to a tee and 3G works like a charm. At first I goofed by putting in the rest of the zeros in the Haa and AAA secret stuff, then went back, removed the extra 10 sets of zeros and made sure that I put in the correct amount of digits in the secret stuff. I guess I did not read the instructions close enough the first time. Anyway, thank you again for posting the "how to"

Question for all you boost pros here: Ive had my epic running on boost for a few months now flawlessly. Everything works. Calls, mms, data .... everything. However.... im using eb13 on syndicate 1.0.2 rom. This kernal does not have a keyboard delay fix and its getting really annoying. So i want to update to ec05 with the syndicate 1.2 rom. If i flash the ec05 modem through odin and flash the new rom, will that mess anything up with boost like the 3g or calling from working correctly?

You can cut your incognito on as long as your Epic is not on at the same time. I have an Epic, Nexus S 4G and my incognito all on the same line but only one is on at any time. As far as data, im sure its something simple. It took me a few tries to get it right.
