How To: Hack the HTC EVO
A Guide On Accessing 3G Networks Without EVDO Coverage From Sprint
As of Android Froyo 2.2 the stock EPST app no longer contains ##PRL# functionality. In order to fix this, download THIS apk file and use Root Explorer to copy the DL over the EPST in /system/app/ (must be mounted as R/W. Long click the file->Permissions->check all. Then single click the new EPST.apk and install it.
Step 1: Obtain your MSL (Master Subsidy Lock). This can be achieved by calling *2 on the the default android phone application. A Sprint Support Assistant will answer your call - kindly request that they provide you with the Master Subsidy Lock for your phone. If, for whatever reason, the support personnel is unable to complete your request, follow this tutorial by techwerkz to obtain the MSL.
Step 2: Navigate to this tutorial on your EVO phone's default web browser and download the following PRL file: Techknowfile's 00001 epic PRL
If you weren't prompted to download the file and instead see a white web page filled with text jargon on it, press the menu button on your phone and click "save page" as 00001.prl
Alternatively, you may download the zipped version of my PRL file: Techknowfile's zipped 00001 epic PRL
Step 3: Dial ##775#. Enter your MSL into the password box that appears >> hit OK >> tap on the "Update PRL" button. Make sure "All Folders" and "Type: prl files" are selected. You should see the downloaded PRL (00001.prl) on the list; Select the PRL >> Press Menu >> Commit.
If dialing ##775# doesn't reveal the password prompt, please ensure that the EPST.apk file listed at the top of this tutorial has been properly installed.
If you get a 3g connection from this but it keeps dropping, try turning OFF data roaming. Thanks |Jason8|
How to undo the hack
If for whatever reason you wish to reverse this change, all you have to do is update the PRL through your EVO.
FAQ removed to make the post seem less daunting... maybe more people will read it all.
The following will change when the hack is applied:
Dialing *2 after implementing the hack will connect you to VERIZONS activation/customer service line.
Ping (Latency) increase
Every time you make a phone call the phone will beep twice at the start of the ringing.

Re: *techknowfile's* - Hack the HTC EVO - 3G w/o Sprint EVDO coverage!
So its should work w any evdo phone not only Evo
it does (except the steps can be drastically different from phone to phone), but this is what i had done for my palm pre, as well. Consider it my first contribution to the android community. This is my day-1 with the androidOS, so I've got a lot to learn here.

No, to get an accurate speed run the 1MB test at the bottom, once that is done you will have a 2MB option.

Working on the tutorial right now (keep getting distracted with the phone) soon. meanwhile, lets keep filling up a dev thread with general chat >.< (I don't mind - just don't hate me, mods)
Ummm...hate to burst any bubbles, but mobilespeedtest.com is horribly innacurate. It tells me I have anything from a 14mb connection one sec to a 300kb connection the next time I run it on every phone I own. Have you tried DSLreports mobile speed test? It's a lot more accurate and would definitely back up what your claiming.

it actually matched up pretty well for me, ran it 3 times and got speeds in the mid 1,300's. ran it again with speedtest.net's app and got 1421down/710up.

After a week or so of work I have my shift sending and receiving calls and texts through virgin mobile but I can't seem to get data working. the evo has a lot more settings to change than the donor phone or what that "guide" on howardforums lists. I've tried changing the ha and aaa keys and that didn't seem to help.
does anyone know what I'm missing?

Can you do PRL updates via the phone's menu?
Mine still won't.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
how do you update the prl? I used the prl from some guide and it kept bugging out and going to a verizon tower, so I ripped the prl from my intercept and its working now but slow on startup to get 3g... but it might be my area the signal is bad where i'm at right now
data has been working fine but it seems slow to connect on startup, im trying to figure out how to update the prl on my old phone to use that. and mms isnt working, received messages come as gibberish and I can't even tell who sent it

Texting worked for me along with calling. Mms is picture messaging not quite the same as a normal text. It seems like data depended on getting the ha and aaa keys put on right using i believe qxdm and then putting in the password to the keys in the ##data# menu.
yes i would like to know how you got the data working also. i have my phone on virgin mobile. i get calls and text but no matter how i set it up data will not work. thanks..

The HA shared secret is: "vmug33k" (text string) This is standard on all VM phones, and will actually get you 1x Speeds.
The AAA is going to be located in one of your NV Items.
Use QPST, launch the EFS Explorer, goto the NVM folder and pull these keys (copy and paste) to a folder on your desktop:
465, 465_1, 466, 466_1, 1192, 1194
Use a program called HxD Editor to read these items.
On the Intercept, the AAA is located in 466_1... Again, not sure about the other VM phones.
When viewing with HxD, look for an NV item with "vmug33k" on the right.. Under it will be your AAA Key...
It will look like something like this:

Now you have both keys!
Input/Write these keys onto the new phone in QPST/Service Programming/ Under the M.IP tab. Making sure to match ALL information in this tab with the donor. Also, make sure when entering the keys to switch it to "text string"
Think that should get it!
Any questions just ask!

If you are really struggling im trying to build a comprehensive database for the UK.Tell me your location and i may have added it!
EDIT: If you are struggling to add your location, Find the Code for your nearest city,Keep your GPS Coordinates and it will work.I used the code for HULL, Accuweather said it was 6 Degrees kept gps coordinates for Hornsea and it said 8 Degrees. HOPE THIS HELPS!
If anybody knows of an app you can copy GPS Coordinates with please let me know! Would make it a fair bit easier for me

Tried again this morning with the last file that you gave me and everything worked fine! I'm sure it must have been an error that i made last night.
When i searched the net for a solution for my original problem, there was many people on many forums with different HTC devices having the same problem as I, namely, the weather clock showing 'United Kingdom' rather than the place were they lived. A working solution was nowhere to be found!
You're my hero, this has been bugging me for a long time now!
---------- Post added at 09:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 AM ----------
My weather clock widget and weather widget now displays my home town after i have selected it however my weather lock screen displays 'United Kingdom' regardless of what i have set. Upon reboot, both widgets default to 'United Kingdom.'
Ideally, i would like my device to display my home town when i set the widgets to 'my location' but this is still not happening.
I suspect the root of the problem lies a little deeper! Any thoughts?
I hope you are finding this interesting as i am as I'd hate to think i was just being a pain in the butt.
Hmm yes i am finding it interesting! I suppose there could be an entry that is just "United Kingdom" somewhere in the database? If its clear weather up your was you could try turning gps on? See if getting a precise location fixes it.If thats the case im sure there is a mod for better AGPS Location.
I only really did this as i was on my last warning for being late to work (Clock changes to Tianjin,Time goes 8 hours different) but i'm not intrigued lol ill have to check through the file.
Thinking about it i have put it to about 8 decimal places.You could try lowering your GPS Coordinates to 2 or 3 decimal places as it may be a little too precise

Also, When widgets are set to 'my location' when i am 'out and about' the display often gets a fix on places which are not in the database so they must be pulling data from somewhere else.
navigate to /data/data/com.google.android.location/files and delete the 'wifi' and 'cell' files.Ill look more into it when i'm at my home computer.Looking at this 10" screen for sql is driving me crazy lol
There must be another file somewhere to do with the weather that it pulls from. I do see what you mean,Bude isn't in the database yet its displaying Bude fine
hmmm.... I did it like it should be done, but I can't choose city anymore and also displays the same name for my location.
Sense 4.0
If you take my fixed file from the OP you can scroll down to the bottom and look at the last entry,Edit as needed.If it doesn't display your location then find the nearest city to you add that location in but with YOUR GPS COORDINATES and Your location under the name column.It should be fine
Netweather seems to be down at the moment.I'll have to look elsewhere for the codes
If your having problems could you upload your DB file so i can take a look please
UPDATED OP WITH BETTER PLACE TO GET CODES
Pretty good finding, dude! I used to made the same thing with Sense 3.0, but it stopped to work on 3.5 and later.
I'll do my own changes and report here.

Your location should be this. EUR|SI|SI000|MARIBOR
Also you need to Add the city on the weather / location list.Open weather,press add,type the city name (Mine Bonesy yours i think is Maribor) add that then refresh.If you get "No weather available" Try to find a city or town on accuweather nearby then just use that but with your GPS Coordinates.It will display the weather differently

Thanks, i'll try it a little later....just going home frome work
here is the list of time zones
Today I am launching TextHer app which enables users of android phone to communicate privately and securely between them.
TextHer
It is a peer to peer (serverless) messaging app where the messages are directly sent from one phone to another without being routed through or stored on any servers.Messages will be not be routed through carrier's server instead it will be directly sent from one phone to another using data connection.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spacenext.texther
Sending a message:
To send a message to another phone just type the primary gmail address of the phone,type your message and send it.
For example my phone's primary account is [email protected],Just type the mail address or just the account name(ramanean) and send a message
Features
1.No Registration is required and Free unlimited messages.
2.Secure/Instant communication between any two individuals
3.Instant Delivery of messages (unless the other phone doesn't have a working data connection)
4.Messages are not stored on any servers.they are stored only on your phones.
5."Background Send" option which allows a delivery of messages incase of a failure.
6.Messages are encrypted by AES standards
This app would make it difficult for law enforcement and spy agencies to track what is being communicated between two phones as the messages sent are encrypted by a standard AES algorithm and the messages are not stored on any server.It allows secure communication between two phones without the fear of being tracked for their messages.
Serverless:
It's not entirely serverless as we store the ips on our server and give it to the clients which enables phones to connect with each other. And I have plans to come out with another version which would never involve a server.
I hope I would get a constructive review on your site.Please let me know whether you need any extra information

a) This app won't be available in certain countries in the Middle East and south East Asia!
b) There is too much of snooping around and that's why I have come out with this app
c) On other hand it would help organizations like Occupy Wall Street and people in their protests.It would great help in free speech
MY answer to others who question my app!
Why do you need a intermediate person to message/communicate your loved one? Whether we use a third person to communicate with our loved ones inside our house? The answer is No.. and that is the reason I have come out with this app.
Okay here's what I discovered after a bit of goofing around:
1) You use app for a few minutes and it is impossible to get out. Pressing back keeps bringing you back to previous screen. In a loop.
2) I tried messaging myself. Didn't work.
3) I tried messaging on ramaean. App not installed
4) When I tried messaging to shangce, it force-closed on me.
5) You need to have a more consistent UI. You have used all the colors in rainbow
I don't want to come off as a ****, but if someone wanted to use an app for truly private communication I think they should be asking the following questions:
Could you describe in detail what happens to the text from the time you press Send to when the recipient's phone beeps?
How do we know your servers aren't logging our messages?
Why should we use your app instead of an encryption app?
Please don't take this as an insult to your app or hard work, but they are legitimate concerns for any security related app. I would be much more comfortable if there was an encryption feature.
You got some of the points wrong
a)My mail ID is [email protected] and not "ramnean" (use ramanean)
b)You can click on the home button in the bottom help menu to come out
c)I won't reveal from my that mail address "shangce"
d)I don't know which provider you are using.l
This app will not work if the phone has internal IP's!!
UI :
I need to work a big on UI As I always choose colors wrong

a) I used the correct id. there was a typo in above message. Anyway, this isn't a deal-breaker.
b) I should still be able to come out of an app by pressing back button. Don't you think?
c) Didn't get you.
d) It works after disabling WiFi. My bad.
e) You can try a two-colour theme.
Can someone post the app here? Can't download it as I am in the middle east

What's the version of Android you are using?
Ok, so is this still a "NO" for us in the Middle East? Will you post the apk file here or will I have to wait till I get back to India later this month to download it?
Is there some reasoning for barring people based on location? Am pretty sure that:
a) A terrorist is neither in our midst nor that one would be wandering around in the xda forums looking for something they could use.
b) If they are aware of a software such as this they could always get one of their partners in crime to download it from an off site location and mail it to them.
Hope that you will post it here.
Thanks

Remember that the app works only for external ip's it doesn't work for natted ip's (I am trying to fix it)
Send a message to yourself to see that whether it works for you! If you didn't get your own message then it won't work for you as you may on a natted/internal IP
Nice idea, flawed execution. No functionality in any of my tests. Currently attempt to use Redact instead.

Hi XDA's !
I made a quite simple, small and free app that will help you to fix the recent showed USSD/MMI vulnerability which affects many android devices.
For reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2-0B04HPhs
Most Samsung phones are fixed to data wipe (there's not reported MMI command for HTCs), but still MANY Android devices are vulnerable to MMI commands including PIN code change ones, that can block your SIM card, after executing MMI command for PIN change more than 10 times with wrong PIN (for example malicious URL with 10 frames with PIN change instruction).
Please follow the installation instructions below:
1. Check if your phone is vulnerable - open your mobile browser and navigate to: http://goo.gl/4IWgL (or use the barcode below)
2. If your phone is vulnerable you will see your IMEI number displayed.
This means that service MMI commands can be executed on your phone, when you visit a malicious web page. The MMI commands are service commands, and if you see the IMEI it doesn't mean that your phone is vulnerable to the Samsungs data wipe vulnerability. BUT an attacker can still block your SIM card issuing a MMI string to change your PIN code more than 10 times. Finally your SIM card will be blocked.
3. If DON'T see the IMEI number, you are safe and you don't need this app
4. If you see a popup with your IMEI number, then install this app from Google Play (click on install button on the the left).
5. Once you install the app navigate again to: http://goo.gl/4IWgL (or use the barcode below)
6. Your phone will ask you how to complete the action. Choose USSDFix and mark it as default for this action.
7. You will see a notification that your phone tries to open a page that contains a USSD call and will block it.
8. Your phone is safe now !

First it handles calls from browser like "tel:", then it checks for * and %23 (#) in the dialed string.
Are the HTC's vulnerable too? and the Sense 4?
Unfortunately some HTC's are. You can test yours using the URL provided in the thread (or using the barcode scanner).

Tested the vulnerability with stock browser and dolphin on sense 4.1. Both times I got to see my IMEI.
Installed patch app, and now it works. Very clever how you did this. Thanks !!
Is anyone brave enough to test this on a real-wiping-all-the-data link?
thanks a lot I have a zte gingerbread and I cannot update to jellybean so my phone is vulnerable...I've found a similar app on market but it's incompatible, yours is totally good for my phone!!!thank you!
as soon as you publish on play store I'l give you 5 stars obviously!!!

The problem is that if you open a malicious URL in your browser, the browser can send a USSD command tothe dialer to factory reset your phone.
I hope that they will fix this soon, but if you are vulnerable and cannot update your phone you are at risk.
well my sensation is a culprit of it too ..unfortunately
i tested the app and its working perfectly well ...so SENSATION USERS GO AHEAD AND USE THIS APP
BTW voted for PORTAL .... lot of people should know this vulnerability and the fix for it
and i request other users of this app to vote for portal (click the "Newsworthy Thread" present at top right corner of the thread title )
Edit: Btw I used the vulnerability of the xda app to thank you.. As I'm out of thanks for today lol

Hehe, yes, it's normal - see installation instructions - you should choose the USSDfix as default for this activity (since there's no official patch of the dialer).

see at the end you should kinda prevent browser to give control of using phone ...thats what this app does ..its like a firewall ..which checks the code before giving the command to the phone ..if you bypass the firewall itself ..how can you expect it to prevent using phone
its like you bought an anti-virus for your PC ...installed it ..but then DISABLED it ..and claiming it not working
get the point now ?

Hi everyone,
I make this app for my own daily use originally. However, I found that many people are asking for similar features on WhatsApp. So, I make it available on Google Play Store. You need a rooted device to run this app.
WhatsMore is an add-on account management to make WhatsApp holding more than 1 phone number even on a single-SIM mobile phone. Now, we can give different phone numbers to the family, co-workers, customers, net-friends, and etc…
Features:
- Allow Up to 2 phone numbers to be used with WhatsApp on the same device.
- Auto swapping WhatsApp accounts in a user preset interval.
- Show notifications when swapping WhatsApp accounts.
- Show notifications if there are unread messages of swapped out WhatsApp accounts.
- Launch any inactive WhatsApp account from within WhatsMore.
- Perform auto recovery upon the App starts (or the phone starts up) if the previous swapping process is interrupted. (ie. Power off, reboot of the mobile phone, upgrade from the play store)
** The following statement is copied from the official WhatsApp FAQ **
If you attempt to frequently switch your WhatsApp account between different devices, at a certain point, you may be blocked from re-verifying your account. So please do not repeatedly switch between different devices.
Using this app is a different story. You only register the each linked phone number once. And, you are always working on 1 device only.
Set up procedures:
Assume you have phone number 1 and phone number 2. Follow the following steps to do the configuration:
1. Make sure the WhatsApp is properly registered with phone number 1.
2. Start WhatsMore and swipe to the tab - Manage Profiles.
3. Click the [import] button on the bottom of the screen.
4. Input a profile name when prompted for.
5. After import success, you can see the button on the bottom of the screen has the label changed. It should read ‘Prepare WhatsApp for a new registraion’.
6. Click the [prepare] button and you will get a warning dialog.
7. Click [Continue] and wait for the process to be finished.
8. Turn off the phone and swap the SIM cards of phone number 1 and 2.
9. Start WhatsApp
10. Go thru the WhatsApp registration procedure using the phone number 2.
11. Make sure the new phone number 2 is working on the WhatsApp.
12. Start WhatsMore and swipe to the tab - Manage Profiles.
13. Click the [import] button on the bottom of the screen.
14. Input a profile name when prompted for.
15. Swipe to the tab - Status.
After doing the above steps, you should see 2 phone icons on the status tab.
Note:
Make sure you have the latest Busybox installed. Otherwise, this app won't work!
HAPPY CHATTING!

Interesting, will have a look. Thanks!
I have followed every step you said, but cannot import the whatsapp account. Dun know why??
I have uninstalled and re-installed the whatsapp.
Can you let me know why??
Many thx by the way
I don't really unterstand that, 2 numbers on a Single sim card? Can anybody explain it to me?
Please make it compatible with Android 2.3 as well as many of us have dual sim phone which are still having 2.3 so please try to get it in the compatible list.
I would like to know if the message database of two accounts will be merged into one or two separate databases will be kept?

Separated internal memory storage for each WhatsApp number.
A new version of WhatsMore has been published to the play store. It uses a less complicated root command syntax and perhaps more devices are supported. Also, please make sure you have the latest Busybox installed.

Some carriers certainly provides 2 numbers on 1 sim-card. However, you don't need this special sim-card to use WhatsMore. Once you are done with the WhatsApp registration, you can pull out that sim-card out of your phone. It is not needed anymore when you are chatting WhatApp.
I do not receive any confirmation number as I do not see any banners at all..what can I do?

Better use T.backup instead of the WhatsApp built-in backup. The are guidelines in the FAQ of WhatsMore.

The release version has a fix. In the beta version, the number picker did not refresh the phone wake up duration when the auto rotation had already been turned on. Thanks.
I'm using the donate version on an HTC One S running CM 10.0. The app keeps asking to grant Superuser twice upon every startup, despite having told my superuser-app to automatically grant permission upon the first run. After having used Whatsnow, other apps requiring root keep telling me they couldn't find the SU-binary and won't work anymore till restart.
Anyone have this problem? Once i've installed, connect to the wireless access point, unable to get the IP address, and at the end wireless will disconnect automatically.
Please advise.
Btw, I'm using Samsung Note 2 N7105.
Thanks.
