do what zipxavier told you

Type in *#info*1111# hit phone information then scroll down to see if you're connected to cdma1xrtt or evdo

in the network type it should say "CDMA EvDo Rev 0"

if so.. read the last question from the "faq" section in my guide..there is also some threads about 3g speeds been really slow in the epic and evo forums..its a sprint problem..

voicemail doesnt work, im currently researching the problem it used to work with the voicemail notifier from the market some time ago but they updated the app and is no longer working plus is was kinda buggy with cdma networks. GPS works with out of the box..are you using 2.1 or 2.2? please remember the epic's GPS is not the best (or should I say is the WORST?) and on 2.1 it doesnt work very good and if you are using the 2.2 leaked update you might have to do the "fix" to have it working again..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
thanks for the info, i will update the guide,
[Epic 4G Android Development] kapcan2k:
Thanks for the info guys.

I typed in *#info*1111# went to network type: CDMA - EvDo rev.A Is what I got. I guess that means 3G. I must have entered both profiles correctly then.

And as far as voicemail to be clear I have voicemail just not the notifications.

GPS does not work I am on 2.1 stock. I can never connect to Gps it never finds my location for some reason.

if tried both ways, cant get this stuff to work. Anyone willing to do this for me with teamviewer for 20$ paypal?
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
So you're saying you did all the steps and at the end you don't get a signal? Or that you don't get 3g, or what?

If you change the ESN and don't get any connection at all, there may be a hardware problem with the phone.

Does the donor phone still connect and still get internet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] brianhot1:
is anyone else having issues with 2.2 recently I am unable to send and recieve pic mail unless I am conencted to 4g or wifi my internet workss just fine I am only having issues with pic mail my apn settings are correct and it was working fine but now I been having this issue for about 2 weeks, also my prl does not update or profile I recieve unknown error, any help would be greatly appreciated
[Epic 4G Android Development] endurance1:
does the internet have to work on the donor phone? i only put 20$ on the donor phone so i dont waste a whole 50 bucks if i cant get this to work.

and to clear up my post.... no... the internet or voice doesnt work.

i cant believe no one wants 20 bucks via paypal to do this for me...
[Epic 4G Android Development] pumacat311:
I have tried all the ways and all the configurations possible, and many more and I still cant get internet working. The voice and text always works fine but the Activation never goes through.. I used the incognito as my donor and the internet was working fine on it. I just dont know what im doing wrong. I still get error 67sprint data service username and or password wrong error message..
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
This thread is about getting data to work, thats it.. please dont get it locked talking about things we cant talk about here.

If you are having problems with data, ##786# RTN reset your epic and start over using this guide from the begining and only this guide and it will work.

If you are having problems getting your phone on boost, or getting voice/sms... thats a whole other issue that cant be discussed here...
[Epic 4G Android Development] pumacat311:
I finally got all the data and internet working however I have a question.. whenever I make a call, my 3g icon next to my signal strength meter, goes away.. so as far as I can tell, 3g only works with data and not voice, is this supposed to happen? And if not, are there any settings I could check.. it appears my mms is not working quite right either.. Do any of the settings in the ##3282# menu besides the mmsc, have anything to do with either of these issues.. the browser settings have nothing set, nor do the multimedia settings, onlythe mmsc which I do have set to mm.myboostmobile.com.. Any help would be much appretiated.. Thanks.. P.S. even without these things working, I am beyond pleased with the outcome of this switch to boost..
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Cdma networks only have the capability to have 3g or voice not both at the same time..

For mms use the method in post 1 regarding apn backup and restore

As far as mms use the meth
[Epic 4G Android Development] pumacat311:
Update.... I now have mms working great but still have the issue of the 3g icon disappearing during calls...
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
this is not an issue, thats how it works.. you cant have 3g while you are on the phone
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Yeah because when you make a call it kills the 3G and goes right back when you hang up. This is how all phones on any CDMA network work. AT&T and T-Mobile are GSM networks and they have the capability to do talk and data at the same time. Sprint/Verizon/Metro/Cricket etc... do not.

For anyone else having issues with data not working, you didn't follow a step here correctly or you input something wrong. You do NOT use the sprint activation, if you are getting the activation notice, it means you did something wrong. When you do it right the data will just work, there is no activation required because the activation was done on the Incognito already.

As I've said before in this thread, once you get the phone onto boost (not to be discussed in this thread), then following these steps will get the 3g working. Even one typo will cause failure so triple/quadruple check to make sure it is all right. Seriously even an extra space or period can screw you.

Also, I apologize to ppl PMing me on this topic and not getting responses. I am not on here very much anymore and I don't do any work on other ppl's phones besides mine and my wife's. Glad to hear that at least one person sorted out the issues though.

how u get 4g to work on boost
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
Is that a kernel or an entire rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
Question about ##786# factory reset:

I've gotten my phone to boost with everything working except vm notifier. Last week my phone shut down by running out of battery power and when it came back up I was getting force closes and some software that was flashed onto my rom was missing.

I changed roms and ran the clear personal data multiple times. Now I have a working phone, but it does not seem to sync to the network the way it used to.

I would get gmail notifications earlier and now I have to log into the application for it to resync. I also use the snowstorm widget to keep weather information on my home page. Before it would update once per hour. Now it does not update unless I enter the program and select refresh from the menu. This behavior has continued through multiple roms, multiple reinstallations and multiple data wipes.

I'm considering a ##786# factory reset but wonder, how far back will that take me? Will I then have to go through the entire process (minus finding the incognito's information which I have saved) or does the factory reset bring me to a different place than that?

Or is it that a ##786# reset is not that different from just clearing personal data?

Also I did not save my original HA and HAA passwords even though underneath this cloned incognito, there is a clean esn epic. Would ##786# generate new or restore valid HA and HAA passwords for a sprint epic 4g, (in case years from now I want to reconnect it to sprint)?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Maverick923:
That may not be such a good idea. I bought my epic already flashed. Everything was nice until I was having trouble going back to factory firmware which somehow screwed up my activation. Now I dont know how to fix that unless I purchase another phone to clone. Any ideas anyone?

Also, do the same instructions apply to reading from any boost CDMA phone because I would like to try a Samsung Factor. WHere do I find where I can read from NVram and the eeprom?

The incognito is a little hard to find around my way.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
that is an entire ROM, dont forget to apply the apn settigns fix or you wont be able to send\receive MMS
[Epic 4G Android Development] Maverick923:
Can someone tell me where I can do I need to look to find out where do I need to read on a eeprom for another phone such as the Samsung Factor?

The incognito is a little hard to find around my way.
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
V5 is out? On bonsaigeek all I see is 4.0.1...

For anyone trying to do the ##786#, do NOT do it, it'll nuke your 3G and you'll have to go back in and redo everything again to get your boost 3G back. Doesn't take more than 10 minutes, espeically if you were smart and backed up your profile so you can just load/write/save/done but still a PITA...

For the guy trying to find an Incognito, there are a ton of old beat up ones on the evilbay you can get for like $40 with a clean ESN. Doesn't matter what sort of physical condition its in as long as the ESN is clean and you can pull the values from it. Once you turn it on, activate it and give it time for the data to provision, you grab all the info you need from it and then never turn it on again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
##786# will nuke the 3g, but will it reset the esn? and the ha and haa passwords to factory?

I ask because I may want to use this phone as a sprint epic-4g sometime in the future but would need to undo the process here. Easier if I can just put in that code.

Also, I am very pleased to report that Simply AOSP rom has been working fine with the vm notifier 1.01 in post #2.

I consider it a great rom, my favorite so far even outside of the vm issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
No it will not reset the ESN but you will have to go back into CDMA workshop and redo all your aaa and ha stuff IIRC. It only takes 10 minutes but when I did it, it was months after I flashed the phone so stupid me was staring at it for like a half hour to figure it out lol.

As for simply AOSP, no ad blocking and it soft bricked my Epic. Went back to Midnight Rom and 0 issues except for the occasional GPS glitch which a reboot fixes. Apparently VM notifier works with Bonsai which simply AOSP is based off of. I might try that next but I like Midnight Rom and I hardly ever get voicemails. Plus I can always see when I have a missed call and it takes all of 2 seconds to manually turn on VM notifier and have it tell me if I have any voicemails or not...
[Epic 4G Android Development] jay7264:
if you want to return to complete stock ha and aaa keys just use odin and check the clear efs box
[Epic 4G Android Development] pumacat311:
Just thought I would throw in my experience with ACS 1.1.0 and 1.1.1.. Have been using 1.0 since I "Boosted" my epic and am amazed at how great everything has run.. No issues ever that are not my own fault. I have flashed different stuff so many times and still everything stays working great. This goes for 1.1.1 as well. I'm wondering tho, why aren't there more sprint superphones that are flashed for boost, and does anyone know if any of the phones coming out will work.. Thanks

Calls/texts, but no data?

EDIT: Fixed. Not quite sure how, but still, fixed. Will be donating to the OP when I get my next paycheck for his fine guide!

Hello folks!

I've been using this guide to get my Epic 4G up and running, after finally figuring out how to do it on a Windows 7 x64 PC (hint, VirtualBox, XP x32, and lotsa luck with their buggy USB pass-through stuff), and I finally got it working far enough that it will work to make/receive calls and texts, but no matter what I do, it won't give me a 3G icon!

I've tried playing around with profiles 0 and 1 (disabling 1 and setting 0 to active, vice verse), re-reading posts 1 and 11 until my eyes are about to pop, etc.

What am I setting wrong? I have a feeling that my error is confined to the PPP Config or M.IP tabs in QPST Service Programming, but I've played around with various combinations of info in those tabs so much that I'm just not sure.

Also, on the Epic under "About Phone", "Status", "Mobile Network State", it says "Connecting", briefly changes to "Disconnected", and repeats. I have full signal bars, but no 3G icons are visible.

Also, "Update Profile" fails with an unknown error.

Re-reading the guide has not helped. :-(
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Both profiles must be active, sprint is profile 0 and boost is 1 IIRC. This was the only confusing part of the guide for me, figuring out what went where.

Easiest thing to do is to save your incognito settings as a file and then have it open as well as the epic (active profile) you are editing and make sure everything is matched up. If you follow the steps in this guide you should be seeing 3G provided your Incognito had time to provision 3G. I would turn off your Epic (totally and completely off) and turn on your Incognito to check the 3G on that thing. Easiest way is to try to get on facebook.

To the poster who asked about other Sprint phones, all the big ones work on boost just fine. Epic, Evo, TouchPro2, Evo Shift... Those are the 4 big ones right now. There are flashers and groups of flashers (not THAT kind of flasher!) who will get new phones working on boost if possible after a certain amount of time. As long as Sprint owns boost and uses the same everything for the service, any Sprint phone should theoretically work on boost. 4G is another story completely.
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
Wow. Thanks. Can anyone else confirm that this would work?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SweetBearCub:
Got it working after a long night of messing around with it. Thanks!

*#INFO*1111# says EvDO Rev. A, but the download speeds are atrocious, somewhere in the area of 30-80 kB/sec. :-(

After I got it working, I hooked it back up to QPST Service Programming, read from the phone, and saved it to a file. Hopefully this file will help me if I somehow lose the settings or change them to something that borks it.

Also, a note, in case someone else runs into the issue of the phone not being accessible to ADB (despite debug mode being turned on) after this procedure: To fix it, go back into ##8778# and set both options back to "PDA".
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Download speeds are often atrocious on Sprint in general. I've found that using certain roms helps as they get rid of any data throttling and CIQ. It really does depend on location though. Where I live in NJ, speeds are generally 300-600 which is passsable for browsing...barely. When I was in Nashville, TN I was getting 1000kbps regularly.

Hey guys...I know this is for the Epic but I'm having a problem with trying to get my EVO on boost and was wondering if anyone could help. I obtained a guide on how get the EVO working on Boost and for the life of me I can't and the only problem I'm having is that after I do all of the necessary steps I get a constant boot loop. Before I reboot I have talk working but no data and when I reboot I get a boot loop everytime. I have tried so many times I can't count and the only way I can bring the phone back from the dead is an EVO soft brick trick I found on here. Has anyone else had this happen with there Epic or an EVO and what am I doing wrong?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SweetBearCub:
Nope.. At no point did my Epic 4G get stuck in a boot loop. It sounds like you might be writing to a protected area or something similar? I don't know enough about the Evo to do more than guess, sorry. Good luck!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
Yeahhh donations..lol..glad you got it working after several days of hard working from 1pm to 11pm

To other guy who asked if bonsai 5 was out already, sorry for confusion, I meant midnight 5
[Epic 4G Android Development] arvinghost:
I have 1 Samsung Epic and 1 Htc EVO that i wanna transfer to boost.

the question is:

Do i have to buy 2 Incognito or i can use one for both?

what i mean for both is use one to program the epic fully then change the ME*D and use it for programming the EVO?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
please delete\modify your last question. lets not get this thread locked\deleted again...

there is a rumor going around about been able to use (or used) the 3g usernames, aaa, ah keys, ect in more than 1 device and both will get 3g data. I am HIGHLY against this and of course the risks of your service get terminated IMO will be higher.
[Epic 4G Android Development] arvinghost:
just to be clear on my question:

i want to use one donor to program 2 different phones on boost with two different accounts and different numbers.

I am NOT looking for cloning or anything. just wondering if there is a way to use ONE donor to program multiple accounts

Does anyone know what rev tunneling means and what its for under te accounts in the mip tab in qpst?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SweetBearCub:
From Answers.com:

Mobile IP (or MobileIP) is an

Internet Engineering Task Force

(IETF) standard communications protocol that is designed to allow mobile device users to move from one network to another while maintaining a permanent IP address.

if u have grasped the knowledge abut forward tunneling reverse is just exactly what it means by its name-it is a path just opposite directed from forward.Thus A reverse tunnel is a tunnel that starts at the care-of address of the mobile node and terminates at the home agent. have a look - Oracle Documentation

in laymen terms
[Epic 4G Android Development] SweetBearCub:
In laymen's terms, it means if you don't checkmark that option, your 3G won't work! ;-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] dr4stic:
can't get mms working...

So, first, my target is a droid inc running Cyanogenmod 7 on boost. I've done things similar to what is presented in this guide.

For some reason I can't get MMS to work properly. I have 3G working just fine, but not MMS. I'm hoping maybe someone will see the symptoms and know what I'm doing wrong.

... I've tried using the APN method from post #54

... I've tried setting the /system/etc/apns-conf.xml file to the xml file from post #54, to the apns-conf.xml from CM7 for the EVO 4G with the mmsc modified properly for boost, the stock incredible apns-conf.xml modified with the right mmsc... and after each time, I did a full user data wipe, cache wipe, and dalvik cache wipe.

... I've tried using the Mms.apk from a CM7 for EVO 4G (again, with full wipes to test)

... I'm about to try the framework-res.apk to see if maybe there's some magic in there.

The Symptoms: The MMS comes in (i guess it's the SMS part?) however the system doesn't auto-download the image, presumably because it can't get the response it's waiting for. I get a download button next to the message to download the image. The first time I boot if I press the download link then I get the picture. And then I'll get a duplicate message with the picture again. Any subsequent pictures will not work, the button just keeps saying "downloading" until I exit the screen and come back, then I have a "download" button again. I think after booting once I might get another picture to work.

Obviously, on some level the phone is able to find the MMS server. However I don't think it's getting the response(s) it's expecting and things are not working right. I tried the Mms.apk from a CM7 EVO 4G thinking that maybe some Sprint specific headers were being sent that the droid Inc CM7 build doesn't normally send. Doing this also gave me the EVO's UA (I think).

Any thoughts?

my profile 1 aaa is 14 characters long ?????

what do i do my profile 111 aaa is 14 characters long
[Epic 4G Android Development] SweetBearCub:
LoL.. Well, it was more of "work on it for a few minutes here and there over several days". ;-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] SweetBearCub:
jraz, I think your problem might be that you started with an incompatible donor phone. To quote the OP in post #1: "Other phones MAY BE ABLE TO WORK using this method, this guide will use the incognito because it’s a 3g phone and it’s really easy to extract needed info. If you are using other phones, MAKE SURE ITS A CDMA BOOST MOBILE Phone and 3G (evdo) ready."

Also, just because another phone supports 3G, that still doesn't mean that it keeps all the info we need in the same place as the Incognito.

That's my educated guess.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jraz305:
finally an answer ... i truly understand .... but the samsung sprint phone works .. now as far as instuctions go there are some details that can be fine tweaked a lill bit .. as of this moment right now ....ive been playing with qpst some of the settings are diffrent ... for ex. on the instinct .. ,,,, dormant hand off is checked instead of

1x>evdo>1x .. ppp um username appears as samsung01@sprint.com

i mean it should work its just diffrent ... i am able to get 1x data ..... one thing i did notice is that in profile 0 my orignal meid is coming up .. and not that of the doner ... is this soppose to happen .... ,, also i have messed with my phone so much that it is now roaming on verizon ... great ... going to try data profile reset ,, and start over ...

im able to obtain .. in qcdm the aaa and the ha..... now what i dont under stand is ..

for profile 0

do i use

32 character ha

32 character aaa

profile 1

12 character ha

12 " " aaa

or is there a speacial order that they go in thanks in advance
