[Q] flash to virgin mobile, need data - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

well I somehow stumbled on the right configuration to get it working. that only took 2 weeks

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

Virgin Mobile is blocking the MMS, it should be because of the ROM. Try flashing a 2.2 rom and try again.

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..

sorry for my stupid q? but how did you get to work with virginmobile can you help me out thanks

Sent you a PM!

What was your donor phone? We have an older forum over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19571706#post19571706 that we are trying to get data working as well. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

That forum is clearly for boost mobile which means different phones and different methods. This is the oldest forum I've come across for virgin mobile, so if anyone finds a fix for getting data or picturemail working for virgin they should post it in this forum.

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:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
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!

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.

texting works, im just not too smooth understanding the language, im a stoopid american. got a force close on the phone call test, will wipe all like 5 times each and re-install. i cant sleep anyways, so thanks again for giving me something productive to do. =)
edit : after wiping all 3 times each, phone seems to run a lot faster, this rom loads very quick, even on the 2.6.29 kernel. phone call test works as well, incoming & outgoing tested. no leds, as u stated, ill look around and see what i can do about that
Just make sure to wipe all 3 times before installing the rom.

1st time, went into cwm 2.5.0.7 and went into mounts and formatted system, data, cache, boot 3 times each and then went and wiped dalvik 2 times, rebooted recovery, flashed rom. market would show 2 results under apps, both were games
2nd time, used calkulins format all zip 5 times, wiped dalvik 3 times, rebooted recovery, flashed rom. market will only show book results, apps and games is completely blank.
should i flash gapps or no? i didnt think it was necessary since market was already on the phone
also, not using FR or any scripts

TextHer - P2P serverless messaging app for Android

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.

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.

Hopefully this is okay to post in this section. Although this app is payed for on the Android Market I am offering it to the XDA community for free.
SMS2PC is a small app that runs in the background on Windows, Mac and Linux and allows you to send/receive messages via your Android phone. This, at the time of release, was the first SMS sending app for Android. There are now lots of alternatives but I think my app still has the polish and desktop integration (you don't need to keep browser open) that some people prefer.
You can download the APK attached, copy over through USB etc.
To download the desktop client, visit: w w w .geekyscott. com / sms2pc/ (sorry i cant post links....)
I hope you will all enjoy the app. Please don't post it on other websites as I would like this to be an XDA-exclusive thing. In a few months when I get the time to clean my source, I will upload the source for everyone to use/extend.
Features:
Auto PC location (no need to enter IP address on WIFI)
Forwards SMS from mobile phone to desktop (osx, windows or linux(beta))
Multi-send messages from desktop
Phone address book sync with phone
Handles send notifications and delivery notifications
Secure Encryption
Customizable interface
USB support (enable debugging on phone)
WIFI support
Connect over internet via 3G
Syncs message history
Message smiles/emoticons
Custom desktop audio notifications
Streamlined, simple and clear interface
Thanks for being a great community.
p.s. My old account is ScottishGeek, it would be nice to merge that with this if any mods read this.

Does your cell phone need signal to send the messages to your PC?
Or does it forward messages straight off the network?

It can link to your computer via USB, WiFi or Cell. Cell isn't recommended unless you have a good quality 3G network. It will be able to send a message as long as you have the smallest connection to your cell tower. I for example, leave my phone in an area in my flat I get signal (near the window) and use my laptop to send receive deep in my living room where normally I am in a black spot.
So wait. This application will install on my PC, connect to my Android phone, and allow me to send SMS text messages to my phone contacts on my PC? I tried airdriod for that but I had to refresh in order to see new messages. Which was an inconvenience. If this is the case with this app, will it work in real time?

thank you very much for this. may i ask for another feature?
i'm using a dual sim phone so would it be possible to have an option to choose from which simcard to send an sms in the sms2pc desktop client?
is it possible to make whatsapp / facebook messenger to work like this as well?

At this time there is no support for these messengers... but there is a possibility to make this happens. It really depends if the support 3rd party API's or if they have a simple database I can hook into. But sending may be a problem. Ill have a look.

If the Android API supports switching between dual sim then I will be able to implement this. I will have a look in the next few days.
Hi friend.. I think there is a problem between your program and Cerbelus. This morning I have been testing sending messages. Later, i´seen seen my phone communication has stopped working and then i have had to reset my device because was hanged. After reset and phone communications right i´ve received a message from Cerbelus with an alert message due SIM change. Now my Samsung SII works ok again but i turned off SMS2PC. Very strange. Can there be a conflict??

I am not sure why there would be a problem. I am using standard API's and Android design guidelines. I believe you are my first using using this Cerbelus software. If you could send me your logcat at the time of the problem I may be able to provide a fix for you.
I can't get it work with wi-fi connection. I allowed the TCP/UDP ports through the firewall, but no thing. USB connection works.

I like how you can use it over 3g too, thats a big plus for me, could even use it over USB at work too!
Thanks for sharing this with us! :good:
You are a nice philanthropist! THANKS
:laugh:Man I am new to the XDA community but It seems that it's not everyday that a developer freely gives his paid app for the rest of the community. I already installed it and it seems to work quite fine.
Thanks a lot. Success man.
Wow
Great to see some apps with Lateral thinking.
I think it would be a great enabler for other apps in future.
Once again THANKS!!!
And great work!!!:good::good::good:
Awesome...
And thank you - I had been playing around some similar apps, but none really "fit the bill" for what I was looking for.
This looks to be exactly what I wanted, however - I'm having an issue with the connection over USB, I have it in debug mode and it's connected direct to the laptop, but times out at 12 seconds each time.
Can't test it over wifi because it's restricted from use in this environment, but will try it from home later today.
I suspect it will work just fine once I get it to the house, but it would be infinitely more useful here at the office...
Also, curious as to whether there might be some incompatibilities with one, or both of the OS's I'm using: Windows 8 Consumer Preview on the laptop and Ice Cold Sandwich 4.04 ICS on an Inspire 4G.

Xperia Z3 Group MMS?

Hi. I plan on getting the Xperia Z3 phone. One thing that will stop me from getting it is if it does not support Group MMS (group/threaded messaging). This means if you send a message to multiple people, it's more of a group chat, rather than individual messages to each device. And if someone responds, it stays within the thread. I have this currently on my HTC One. It works with iPhones and other Android devices.
Can anyone confirm if the Z3 has this capability?
Thanks

I don't know if the default messaging app does (it probably does) but if not just download an alternative. I use Textra on my Nexus 5 and that does it.

I read the Z2 does not have the capability of group messaging. My Galaxy S II wasn't able to do it, but my HTC One is. Another thing is that I have T-Mobile, which has WiFi calling. My HTC One is capable of sending group messages (MMS) and SMS over WiFi Calling, and I'm really hoping the Z3 does the same. It's really make a or break for me.
Using third party apps for sending MMS or SMS over WiFi calling does not work! They all fail to have that capability.

Yes, the Z3 / Z3c does support group MMS send/receive. To start a group MMS, create a new conversation, select 'add subject' from the menu, and type a least one character -- this make the conversation a group MMS. If you don't specify a subject then the message is sent as a standard SMS to multiple recipients.

Awesome!!!!!!!
Can that include a space as a character? What if someone else initiates the group chat? Well I suppose the subject will be auto-added anyways?
This is great news. Can't wait for this phone to be released.

So I got the phone, I add a subject, but all responses come back as single SMS! Help!?!?! I have 13 days before I can return this phone. Everyone gets it as a group, but I get SMS's back. And on top of it all, I have to add a subject every time i want to send a response.
This sucks! And T-mobile wants a $50 restocking fee!

You can't just use hangouts/facebook messenger/any number of alternatives which are free and better in every way? You're not paying loads for your MMS's I take it?

Well, not sure you can root on AT&T, I bet your bootloader is well and truly locked and there is no locked bootloader root yet.
But once (If) there is it is no problem to root as you just flash a stock FTF to revert back to factory settings. Root in itself does not void warranty.
You could always flash the FTF for my phone as well (Vodafone UK) you will get Vodafone bloatware and may lose some AT&T specific stuff but then you will have to weigh up what you want more.

I have it on t-mobile and don't have an issue. I also had a Z2 and didn't have an issue. I use hangouts though, but I don't see why that would matter. Only thing I can tell you is that if you have wi-fi calling on and it's active, you will not be able to do MMS properly.
