I been using EG22, with no problems using 3g or the new modem,

BUT i still gingerbread roms still have lots of bugs for regular use. I havent tried the latest tho.

YES THAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!!!! step 4 is meant for the incognito ONLY, Im pretty sure your TP2 has some other ways to get the SPC code, i believe there was a program you run in your phone and it will give you the code

*Rumor*

I read that you can use the 3g profile\keys (profile 0 and 1) in more than 2 phones.

I have never try it, and I say is bad idea.
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Our rims are the same... yes the screen is def dimmer, I actually like my DX's screen better... colors aren't as vivid but it doesn't seem as... cartoony.

Anyway, I've unsuspended my vzw account and am getting used to onscreen typing again. Its actually faster for me but not having dedicated numbers sucks... I may take advantage of the 2 for 1 deal on DROID 3 at the vzw store and activate a ghost line to get it. Then ill still get my mainline upgrade next july when hopefully a DROID 4 is out with lte.

And herein lies the biggest problem with boost... the phones especially when 4g is expanding rapidly and I doubt boost will have it anytime soon...

I loved my epic but I am a tech junkie and unless someone figures out the photon or evo3d onto boost...

I may keep my boost line active as a spare or work phone... has anyone tried finding a .tar file for the actual boost samsung phone (prevail or whatever) to try to pull the Voicemail program off of it? I can't get vm notifier to reliably work even on stock ec05...
[Epic 4G Android Development] SweetBearCub:
As much of a tech junkie as I am, I could not bring myself to pay any company the insane sums of money they want to provide service to a modern smartphone.

For me, Boost's Pay-As-You-Go plan is great, since I send/receive very few voice calls, texts, or MMS messages, but I use data casually. So I essentially pay only 35 cent per day.

For that price, my Epic 4G is an awesome phone. It may not be quite as fast or flashy as the new ones, but let's not kid ourselves - It's still one awesome phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
I suppose, but after going back go my DROIDX... I missed it...

Plus I only pay $118/mo for two droids on verizon and im grandfathered into unlimited data.

Like I said, probably going to keep the boost line since I'm halfway to $35/mo with shrinkage.

New vm notifier straight from the market is working great! It is no longer for gsm only and they even have an option to force it to manually check at user specified intervals.

[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Confirmed now that the new vm notifier does not turn off after a certain amount of time like the old one did. I suggest everyone who needs this program to work dls it now and then goes into root explorer and saves the actual apk in case a future update breaks it for our phones. This is what I did.

Getting Data to work consistently

Hey, so now I am having trouble getting data to work consistently. I get the arrows and they blink occasionally. Sometimes to goes to 3G with a D under it. When I send an MMS, the data wakes up and starts working. And works fast, 1300 kbps on average. However, after making or receiving a phone call, the data dies and I have to send another mms to get back to life again.

Is there some setting you can change in the phone to make the phone initiate the data a different way than Sprint might do it? This phone works great when the data works but its really unpredictable.

Have any of you guys run into this problem, having to use mms to start up data? Has anyone gotten a way around it or fixed it somehow?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ariethekid:
SOLVED!!!!

TO GET DATA WORKING

you need to create a new MIP Profile in QPST and set it as the active profile. For example,

Click "Add" button under the MIP Tab and reenter all of your information User id, HA AAA secret and all. Then set the active profile to 1 or what ever profile you want active "YOu want the new profile to be active"

Apparently I cannot read directions and I missed that part in the guide....-_-

You will get data without having to send an MMS or anything like that, and it works with all modems. I've tried various combinations of roms and modems and they all work as they should.

Also to get mms working I suggest looking in the telephony folder and modifying the telephony database to include your boost/cricket/metro mms settings because sometimes apn restore doesn't work all the time. It is located in data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/database/telephony.db this is where you manually edit the apn to get mms working.

So I got a question ... a little off topic, has anyone figured out how to boost the 3g speeds I've had my phone working a while and I just get lame 3g speeds, .... anyone ?

Sent from my epic on boost !

..... ballin on a budget
[Epic 4G Android Development] ariethekid:
You might want to play with different prl files.

If not, it could be your location.
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Prl file will only help if he's got an ancient file, they don't actually crank up the speed. Obviously update to latest prl.

Try flashing all the froyo (not dk28) modems and gb leak modems and run speedtest. I also noticed a speed increase over stock by flashing a rom with CIQ removed and all throttling gone.

Best speeds for me personally were with the setup in my sig and the eg22 modem.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Pyr0ball:
ooookay, I'm sorry if I skipped a post that already answered my question, but I got a bit bogged down after page 15.

I'm setting up a fresh, brand new account for Boost Mobile and happen to have an Epic 4G. Looks like I'll need to read some "info" from a different phone (Incognito) and use that when flashing the modem in QPST.

I have no boost mobile phone to speak of. Am I gonna have to buy one to get the flash necessary to move this phone over?
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Looks like you skipped the part in the first post about this thread not being for discussion on how to actually put a phone on boost. This post is how to get the data working on a phone ALREADY on boost.

I will be attempting this next week once my epic and incognito comes in the mail..just had a few questions before i try this.

is this right?

1) follow guide on the youtube clip

2) then follow this guide to enable 3g?

3) which rom kernal and modem is most stable and fastest for the epic? there are many roms on the epic android forum here

4) can we run a gingerbread rom on the epic and keep everything working?

thanks for any info!
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
You can load any rom/kernel just like you can with Sprint. I've had just about every combo you can think of on mine. As for fastest or best... subjecitve to the phone. My phone won't run the twilight kernel without getting really choppy but the Genocide 1.4ghz kernel is tits.

can i go back?

I just traded my g2 for a epic and incognito. This proceedure has been done to the epic, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Is it possible to flash back for use on sprint?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Maverick923:
This guide worked for me, but to get 3g working I had to do some kind of reset.

I don't remember what I did though. I know I saw the phone activate 3G as if it received some kind of signal.

It does work, and this video helped too.

HI

hey can you flash my epic to metropcs im in miami i try downloading these drivers but they never can work on my computer
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Wow great post. I am currently in the process of learning myself up on how to actually get an epic onto boost. Haven't found much yet on the Evo but I'm probably not looking hard enough. Will definitely look hard for a 4g workaround once I get up and running. If I can't get onto 3G via the initial flash I'm sure this will come in super handy.

AFIAK you CAN get everything to work 100% in 2.2 as there are a bunch of flashers (not THAT kind of flasher!) who claim to have everything going on Froyo... Who knows...
[Epic 4G Android Development] indieman91:
THANX!!!

Thank you dude.... i fixed the 3g.... but now i have more issues.... why you say mms dont work on 2.2? i did my girls epic and she has 2.2 and it works fine on 3g but mine does not! thats really weird! also i notice that her phone is on evdo rev a and mine is on rev 0.... whats the difference? have you figured out how to fix the mms problem on 2.2? how can i fix this? would greatly appeciate
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
use a windows xp computer.the spc-2700 drivers only work for xp
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
as far as I know MMS only works on 2.2 when you are connected to wifi...

dont believe what flashers say, i know people who claim 4g will work in the new metropcs 4g network.and that they will get +2mbps download speeds...!!!lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
Rev.a is better..downloading speeds are a little faster.. but uploading is according to sprint up to 8x times faster..

but you need to be in a rev.a tower to get rev.a in your phone..

ok sooo, you two have epics in boost mobile..both have froyo installed..do you have the same ROM? or are you only stock? also make sure you TURN OFF THE WIFI in your gf's epic and try sending AND receiving a MMS...did it work?? or did you got the 403 error?

thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] luvjones305:
hi

were can i get that driver from for my windows xp i have a samsung epic 4g i tried all drivers an they say unsucessful to install an oh yea how do you add esn# to boostmobile inventory an were can i buy that software from
[Epic 4G Android Development] indieman91:
Yeah... I was not on wifi... and my phone never goes on evdo rev a. Do you know why? We are both running viperrom 4.0.2c ext4 rom... hers worked on every rom even stock mines the mms only worked on 2.1.1. Also.... qik for evo 4g works fine on hers but in mines it says low network condition... so I had to install normal qik and that works so far but its kinda buggy
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
the reason you cant get mms to work on 3g is because you need to remove the gateway in the telephony.db
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
hi again, i dont think this has nothing to do but, what prl versions do you have in each epic..

also DIAL ##DATA# on both phones and try to see if your girl's epic has a different setup than yours..

but is most likely you are having the crappy 3g speeds everyone is talking about..some days my wife's epic will have better 3g speeds than my epic (testing with the speed test app) and vice versa in the same spot

HI

Anyone wants to be a Guinean pig??

IF you have 2.2 download from the market APN Backup & Restore to your epic

extract the attached filed (boostmobile 2.2 apn -Copy.xlm) to epic's SD card x:\ApnBackupRestore\ (create folder if missing)

disconnect your phone and open APN backup and restore app, BACK UP YOUR APN FIRST, then DELETE APNs (last option), and Restore APNs and select the boostmobile one, reboot your phone and let me know if your MMS works..

worked for me..

[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Agree, if you follow the instructions EXACTLY with an epic already able to make calls on boost then it will work 100%. If not then you did something wrong. Yes you did, go back and quadruple check.

If you are someone having issues with making calls then you need to get that sorted (getting that working will not be discussed here) before tackling this part.

When I did our Epics, I had never done anything like this before. After some Google-fu I had the phones working on boost for voice and then followed these instructions anal-retentively double and triple checking everything as I went. Each phone was active 100% from the final reboot via qpst and has worked flawlessly since. Plus now with VM notifier working right I have COMPLETE functionality with literally the only thing missing being vzw roaming which is fine as I live in NJ where the whole state is blanketed with towers.

Boost vs. Net10?

I know there was a comment about this back at the beginning of the thread, and that coverage maps carry a high degree of optimism, but it looks to me like Boost uses the native Sprint network, but Net10 has the full Sprint (roaming on Verizon) coverage, which is native Sprint plus the areas where they roam on Verizon as though native. Any thoughts on this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Syst3m Deadlock:
Sorry if I should just made a new thread, but I figured I would ask here first.

I ordered an Epic 4G online, and it will get here tomorrow. Now, I plan to flash it to Boost Mobile using this guide. I will be purchasing a used Incognito sometime this week off of eBay.

Now, here's my question; I currently do not have an account with Boost. So when I open up my new account, should I use the Incognito to get my account set up? Or wait until I have the Epic fully flashed to boost, than set up my account? Either way, I know I'd have to pay for the first month before getting my service started. I just wasn't sure if I should hook up my account with the incognito, or wait until I had the Epic fully flashed to Boost Mobile. Does it really matter? Thanks!

Leviuqse;

Thanks you an a later post as I can no longer thank your OP.

I have put a few phones on with this guide. It would be great if you put the "secret" and the Size of Boosts aaa key in the first post.

I would like to contribute with I used a Mogul as a donor and it works too!

Are you interested in a mini guide for the mogul?

---------- Post added at 07:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 AM ----------

The user interface in not intuitive.

After you type it in QPST saves it. you might not see it but it is there, and will be written to the phone when the time comes.

You can check it it is written by using the same technique you got the keys off the donor on the new phone. Read them and see if they match what should have been written.

I think I'm on the virge of figuring this out, also one last question, I'm on SFR 1.2 with the Voice and MMS working and I can't help noticing I get a lot of random restarts (probably due to the data mishap) has anyone else seen this? Is it the ROM? should I just Odin back to deodexed stock?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Chessman:
I hope I got this right

Ok, so i took your advice and got a used incognito with a clean esn.

Q#1: When I do a hard reset to my Epic, will i lose having my phone rooted?

Q#2: Since my phone was already flashed, is there anything extra I will have to do before reprogramming it??

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] LargePrime:
SFR 1.2 is considered by quite a few to be rather stable. It is not this mod that is making it crash. Take the crashing issues to another thread. Your crashes are prolly a modem issue.

I suspected it was the modem, I was on EH06, using a Froyo Rom with a GB modem on a flashed phone trying to get into a new network COULD explain the hiccups...I'm doing an odin flash to 2.2 deodexed rooted stock and starting all over...hope it works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Eh, I've run every modem and never had restart issues. I did have issues with the navigation being really choppy with a few gb modems tho... still think ec05 is the best honestly.

As for the guy who bought an incognito for his epic already on boost... your phone is not "flashed" per se, no boost epic is. You will have to redo EVERYTHING as in get it onto boost with that phone and then provision the data as per this guide.

I'm currently running SFR 1.1.1 on my Boosted Epic 3G. If I upgrade to SFR 1.2 the normal way (wipe in CWM, flash zip) will it screw with my Boost settings? I've been holding off upgrading since that was worrying me.

[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Root is not required but for the free version of the software needed to do some of the things you will need, you'll want the Epic all the way back on 2.1 eclair. DI18 is fine and odin files are all over. Odining will not screw up the boost "flash" and you will only need to redo the apn file which takes all of 5 seconds. So you can jump up to ec05 or a gb leak right after you get it all working with no issue.

Oh, the how to thread on updating our prls manually is also a good read as it is the only way we can do it.
