Tools Needed:
all can be googled and downloaded
- QPST 2.7 build 359
- QXDM 03.09.19
- CDMA WS 2.7 (ATTACHED)
- HTC Diag Drivers (ATTACHED)
Connect the phone via USB
On the phone dial ##3424# to enter DIAG mode
Install drivers if needed (on some systems it will find all the right drivers BUT the HTC Diag driver. For me I had to manually force it to take the x64 driver in Windows 7. Once you add the driver it functions perfectly.)
Open device manager and look for the device under "Modems" -> HTC USB Modem
Double click on HTC USB modem and go to the "modem" tab and note the COM port.
Open QPST Configuration
Click on "Ports" tab
If the port you wrote down is not here click "Add New Port"
Uncheck "Show Serial and USB/QC Diagnostic ports only" and your port should appear on the list.
Highlight it and click "ok" to add.
Close QPST
**** You have now established a connection with your device ****
Open CDMA WS 2.7
Under COM Settings (AT Mode) select your COM port for your device, leave baud rate at 115200
Click "Connect"
Click "Read" (This is not necessary but I do it to ensure I have a good connection to the device. The "read" output will display the phone information in the fields on the left. If you don’t see this information populate you have not established a connection with the device and need to verify your COM port settings and try again.)
Click the "Security" Tab
Under SPC make sure it is set to "Default (nv_read)" and click "Read"
It will display your SPC in the empty box. WRITE THIS DOWN for later!
Click on "SPC" button and click on "Send"
If you have done everything correctly you will get a popup that says "SPC is correct. Phone Unlocked."
Click "ok"
Close CDMA Workshop
------------------------------------------------------------------
Open QXDM
Under "Options" on the main menu click "Communications.."
Set "Target Port" to your COM port for your device.
Click "Ok"
Click "View" on the main menu, navigate to New -> Common -> Command Output (this will open a black command prompt window in QXDM.)
in the "Command" text field at the bottom of QXDM type "RequestNVItemRead meid" and press enter.
Your MEID string will be displayed as fallows, copy this to notepad with your ESN.
22:25:40.971 meid = 0x00A10000053179FF
Minimize QXDM, we are done with it for a while.
Preparing your MEID and ESN values and flipping them
In Notepad take your ESN and MEID values and strip them of the 0x00's as follows:
MEID = 0x00A10000053179FF
Change to = A10000053179FF
Now flip the values as shown and add a space between every two values:
MEID Original = A10000053179FF
MEID Flipped = FF 79 31 05 00 00 A1
ESN Original = 81380CRA
ESN Flipped = RA 0C 38 81
Zeroing out your ESN and MEID values in QXDM
At this point if you followed the instruction QXDM should be minimized and still connected to your phone. Your phone should still be SPC unlocked and there should have been NO reboots in the entire process. If you did get a reboot you will need to rescan your memory addresses as they change when the phone is rebooted.
Maximize QXDM
Go to the file menu and select "View -> New -> Common -> Memory Viewer"
Change the drop down box next to "Rows" from 8 to 16
Now carefully copy a MEID or ESN address from your saved notepad file to the "Address" field and press enter. Example: 0x108D8FE0
Find your FLIPPED ESN or MEID address in the string and change ONLY those values to 00 (zero's)
DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE EVEN IF IT IS CLOSE OR OFF BY EVEN ONE DIGIT!!!! (You may permanently damage your phone!)
Once you change the MEID or ESN to zero click "Write" The values will change from red to blackindicating they have been written.
Do this for all the rest of your MEID and ESN values
(LOCATIONS CAN BE FOUND IN .ZIP ATTACHMENT BELOW)
Verifying you have Zero'd out your MEID and ESN
Bring the Command Output Window back to the front.
In the Command field at the bottom type "RequestNVItemRead meid" it should display:
22:25:40.971 DIAG TX item:
22:25:40.971 meid = 0x0000000000000000
22:25:40.971 DIAG RX item:
22:25:40.971 meid = 0x0000000000000000
If your MEID is zero'd out proceed to step 4.
If your MEID is not zero'd out. Don’t bother proceeding to ESN you MUST zero out your MEID before you can change your ESN.
* If your MEID did not zero out and you used all the address locations you could possibly find by scanning I highly suggest going through the forums and trying all the MEID addresses people have submitted. I will also include a master list of all the ones I can find at the bottom of this post.
In the Command field at the bottom type "RequestNVItemRead esn" it should display:
23:39:40.442 DIAG TX item:
23:39:40.442 esn = 0x00000000
23:39:40.442 DIAG RX item:
23:39:40.442 esn = 0x00000000
Now hold power button on Evo Shift and select Airplane Mode.
Disconnect QXDM by clicking comunications tab then ports. Change the port to DISCONNECTED.
DO NOT CLOSE QXDM!
Go back to QPST Configuration and click on port your phone is on. Then click Disable to disable the port.
Now restart your phone but DO NOT unplug it from usb cable.
When it comes back on dial ##3424#
Verifying your MEID is now Zero'd out after reboot
Go to QPST Configuration and enable the port your phone is on.
Go to QXDM and click comunications tab, then ports.
Change the Disconnected to the port your phone is on.
In the Command field at the bottom type "RequestNVItemRead meid" it should be zero'd out.
In the Command field at the bottom type "RequestNVItemRead esn" it will have reverted to the original ESN.
This is expected!
Now go back into "Memory Viewer" and zero out all the ESN addresses again.
Once you have zero'd out all the ESN addresses verify the ESN is zero'd out by typing
"RequestNVItemRead esn" into the command field with the command prompt brought to the front.
Regardless of if the ESN is completely zero'd out or not proceed to the next step. This is how you uncover the hidden ESN memory entries and any locatons that may have changed from the reboot!
*Do Not disconnect the phone or reboot it!
Try to write your MEID by using the following command "RequestNVItemWrite meid
0x00A100000XXXXXXX" (Replace A100000XXXXXXX with your Boost MEID HEX)
If it succeeds it will show:
00:11:53.415 DIAG TX item:
00:11:53.415 meid = 0x00A100000XXXXXX
00:11:53.415 DIAG RX item:
00:11:53.415 meid = 0x00A100000XXXXXX
Changing your MDN and MSID
Now that your phone has been repaired you need to update your MDN and MSID to reconnect to the network for voice and text messages.
Turn on the Phone
Dial ##[your MSL]# to allow you to enter EPST. Your MSL should not have changed
from the one you noted earlier before the MEID repair but If it did go to the steps above on how to find your MSL with CDMA WS 2.7
Chose "Edit Mode"
Edit your Mobile Directory Number (MDN) and enter the one for your wireless network
Click "Ok"
Edit your MSID and enter the one for your wireless network
Click "Ok"
Press the "Menu" key and select "Commit Modifications" and the phone will reboot.
Once rebooted try to dial out and send yourself a text message!
LET ME KNOW IF THIS WORKED FOR YOU! THANKS!
Thank you for this guide. I was stuck in the ESN & MEID Zeroing out process but after i read your guide my eyes opened!
Thanks.
Just like Djmanjol I was stuck at the same spot but the MEID locations was a godsend.
3g access
Anyone able to get 3g access with this?
I am having trouble with that part...service 67 error.
cant write MEID
is driving me crazy
it reads 000000
but i cant write it
WTF
What does it say when you try to write it?
Also, I am not 100% sure, but i think your phone needs to be unlocked with shiftRR.
More details and I am sure people will be able to help you.

You should be able to find several guides in XDA developers for rooting the EVO Shift. I have an EVO but not a Shift, so links to the guides that I use may not be applicable. Search in here for Root EVO Shift S-off or something similar. If not satisfied, please respond and I will post a link that I used, but it may not be 100% applicable.

For my HTC EVO 4G (radio 2.15.00.0808), I will need different memory addresses. I think I know how to find the ESN addresses, but don't understand how to scan for the MEID addresses. Can someone offer an explanation?
[edit] Nevermind. I think I have the answer here.[/edit]
I have been thinking of giving this a shot, but not sure if what I want to do is possible, or legal.
I have an active crappy Samsung Android phone, but want to activate a Shift that Sprint says has a bad ESN. Can I use the good ESN from the Samsung on the Shift and will the phone work like it is supposed to? Or is what I am thinking of trying going to get me in trouble?

Thanks for your response, Zarboz.
I found the archive, EV0 4G QMAT.rar, right?
I also have the radios, but do I use both radios? I suspect I only need the 2.05.00.06.10 radio.
However, after more seaching and reading, I discovered the QMAT script method does not work on EVO 4G hardware 0004. I guess I will be forced to use the long method.

My operator don't support MEID, and I need switch Motorola DROID from MEID to ESN only mode.
Launched QXDM, pressed F11, and then at the command prompt:
1. spc 000000 - OK
2. RequestNVItemRead scm - get scm = 0xB8
3. RequestNVItemWrite scm 0x28 - OK
4. RequestNVItemRead scm - get scm = 0x28
But after reboot scm = 0x38. What am I doing wrong? DROID just does not save settings authorization for EVDO, after a reboot everything is resets to Verizon's login and password.
Can anyone help with this?

Check out these two links. The 1st is changing esn with free/demo software on blackberry. The second is changing the meid and also an option of switching from esn to meid mode on the htc hero. Also, someone I know used a combination of the two to change the meid of the HTC Eris. I know the way the second link changes from meid to esn modes may be very similar or the same, but the point is try different things or combine methods. Even though the HTC Eris is very similar to the HTC Hero it took a combination of techniques to change MEID. And know it was more difficult than changing the memory address to those of the Eris. The links are from google's cache so you do not have to worry about logging in and having enough posts to view links etc....
Sorry... couldn't post the links b/c my account is new. I will PM the links to you.
can you help me out with the links too, i have the same problem as below

As of today in this whole world it is not possible to change the MEID of Motorola Droid. So all people out there stop expecting the unexpected and get ur MEID registered to your service providers network .
Thats is the only option, nothing more or nothing less

Ok Now that we have the Files Lets Start Flashing
1. Press ##DIAG# (##3424) on your phone You will see a screen Pop Up Thats Normal
2. Now plug The phone up to the computer and it will try and find the drivers but it will fail or ask you to locate the drivers manually so make sure you remember where you unzipped the files
3. Once you have that setup Go to Cdma-Workshop Go To the port the phone is on and Read From the Phone and go to the Security Tab.....and On the Spc Section Read The lock Code and write it to back to the phone so it says unlocked Then make the code 000000 and rewrite the code so it says sucess.
4. Now Close Cdma-Workshop and Open QPST Configuration Click On The Ports Tab and Add New Port ( Make Sure Show Serial and Usb/QC Diag Ports Only is Unchecked) and Add The Port Of Your Hero.
5.Highlight Your Port and Click Start Client and Start Service programming and Press Read From Phone The SPC should be all 0's so click on the M.I.P. Tab and Change The Mobile IP Behavior To Simple Ip. Edit The M.I.P. Profiles at the Top. Your NAI and Tethered NAI should be ([email protected] or [email protected])
6. Next Click On The PPP Config Tab and Click the UM Button your user id should be ([email protected] or [email protected]) and the password and tethered NAI should be metropcs or cricket Do the Same For the AN Button and press Write to Phone It should Give You a Error But Dont Worry About It
7. Press ##DATA# (##3282#) And Setup your Data for your phone and press menu and Commit So your phone Will Reboot
8. Install BetterCut or AnyCut on your phone and open it Press New ShortCut And Go To Activity It make take a couple of minutes for it to appear but when it Does Go down to Proxy Setting and Click It. It Will Ask for a Name make it whatever you want to. It should say shortcut created sucessfully. Go to your Home Screen and it should be somewhere on there press it and Edit it For Cricket It should be HostNAME: wap.mycricket.com And Port Should be 8080 and for Metropcs HostName: wap.metropcs.net and Port Should Be 3128.

If you really want it on verizon you could ask an authorized verizon retailer to basically do this same thing for you. they love signing people up this way as they get to pocket the normal phone subsidy ($250 on the evo).

Congratulations buddy!
Thanks a hell of a lot for giving us this how to guide. I really appreciate it
Just had 3 questions:
1) Are you getting 3g data in Atlanta or is it just Edge?
2) What plan did you sign up for at MetroPCS?
3) If you decide you don't like MetroPCS, how do you reverse this process back to Sprint service?
Thanks again for figuring this out

that probably depends on the tower coverage for the specific geographical location ...
i see the directions mention HTC Hero a few times. has anybody confirmed this works on the EVO?
Lol, I just spent all night trying to figure this out and you have made it very easy. Thanks. The Diag Drivers link doesn't work but I am sure we could find it somewhere else.
I do have one question. Do you still need to have a Metro PCS dealer add the ESN to their network?

Yes the ESN needs to be added to Metro's inventory. I had them add it and wallaahhh!
What works and what doesn't?
Can you list what works and what does not? I'm particularly curious about a stable 3G.

Right now talk, text and web are working. Still working on MMS. However I had great 3G reception here in Hotlanta.

I see... so for $50/mo (contract free) I can get the the same things that Sprint is offering me for $80/mo. When you minus the extra cost to buy the phone full retail $449 vs $199 on contract you actually saving about $570 over a two year period...
Hard choice
3G unstable
I have tried many configurations and no matter what I do, it seems that the "mobile network" connection is not stable. It will go out periodically and say "connection failed" or "turning on". Can you verify that you are not having this issue?
Also, this obviously does not bypass the WAP proxy which is used by Cricket. This means that other protocols, such as those used in navigation software and YouTube, are going to be blocked by the proxy server. Does anyone know a way around this?

google around for the droid eris cricket tutorial. that has the proper method to set it up, and it works on all other cdma htc android phones.
i believe it is posted on howardfourms under the cricket section.
I myself was wondering if it was the same because I flashed my evo to cricket the same way just off of flashing know how....going to try and see if the Eris method matches what needs to be done to the evo and will report back
Epic 4g to Boost Mobile (how to get the 3g working)- 2/4/11 UPDATE (MMS & VM WORKING)
UPDATE 5-1-2012, I no longer live in the USA anymore, I been receiving lots PM asking for help, sorry but I can not longer help you with your problems
but pretty much every question is answered in the first post or in the thread, PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING most problems occur when something is mistyped
Sorry and good luck to everyone!!!
How to get the data working in the Epic 4g connected to boost mobile Version 0.85
I’m not responsible for any damage to your phone, this is for educational purposes only!! THIS IS FOR ADVANCED “FLASHERS” ONLY!!!
Hi this guide is to how to get the data working in the epic 4g that is ALREADY connected to Boost Mobile
Things that you will need
Samsung Epic 4g (root optional but HIGHLY recommended)
QPST 2.7 Build 323
QXDM Version 03.09.19
Boost mobile Incognito
Micro USB cable
CDMA Workshop 2.7
SPC-2700 Drivers XP 32bit Drivers (drivers for the Sanyo incognito, drivers uploaded)
Samsung Galaxy S Drivers
A hot girlfriend to cheer you up
What you will not need
An iPhone
To be discussing how to get the Epic connected to Boost Mobile
A wife
SPECIAL NOTES
Your old phone, the incognito, must had the internet\mms working before, make sure you had updated the profile and prl.
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. You will need the SPC\MSL of your older phone too
This guide includes basic info needed to have any CDMA phone 3g working in boost mobile, I know people with Evo’s, Fascinates, Eris in boost mobile…if the it’s a Verizon phone…the PRL needs to be changed to a Sprint one (latest one 03-18-11 is 60676)
FAQ
Why the Epic and not the iPhone 4?
Because is the hottest phone at the moment, Bad ESN epics can be bought really cheap, mine was $200 new in the box.
Why Boost Mobile and not Net10?
CDMA Boost Mobile runs on Sprint's Network, you will get the same 3g speeds, nice coverage, and its only $50 month with no contract. ( or lower with "shrinkage" enabled)
Will I get 4g free?
Short answer “no”..but you should Google around about this topic..you will be surprised.
Can I WIFI tether?
YES, but do not use the default MobileAP app, use "wireless tether for root" users, both the old and new version works.
What are the speeds?
Epic does not tell you if you are in a 3g or 1x network, both networks will show with a 3g symbol unless you have a modified ROM. 1x speeds are usually 0-200 kbps, 3g are 50-1400kbps here in South Florida
UPDATE 03-18-11
seems like people are getting 500kbps again in 3g...
Will updating to froyo, change ROMs, downgrading, and flashing to stock via Odin will have any effect???
YES, but so far you only have to change the MMS settings to the correct one (check step18), I have changed different ROMS, flashed back to stock via Odin without loosing my 3g settings..BUT flashing or upgrading your MODEM…WILL MOST LIKELY BREAK YOUR 3G
Ready...Fight
1. First you need to install the SPC-2700 drivers in your computer, download the zip folder and extract it in you desktop, inside the new extracted folder run setup.exe and select install and let it do its magic.
2. Connect your incognito to your computer and let all the drivers install, if you get the common error message about the drivers not been compatible with Windows XP let the drivers install anyway
3. Open CDMA Workshop 2.7 and select the COM port where the incognito is located and connect, in my case it was COM 13, if you don’t know which one is it, disconnect all your USB and Serial devices and try to connect one by one. When you find the correct one click “Read”
3.99 if you already know your SPC for the incognito skip steps 4 and 5, you can also call boost mobile and see if they give you your SPC, make a phony excuse like “hey I’m going to North Korea and I need my SPC of my phone just in case I want to use my incognito over there, thanks!!”
UPDATE!!!
IF you activate your incognito online on the very last step you will get your SPC, boost mobile gives it to you in case you need to manually activate your phone.
4.Go to the Memory tab and in the Memory / Eeprom section Read Address 0363:0000 with 65536 size, this will create a file so save it in your desktop
NOTE: you may be have to read it twice, a lot of times the phone will not respond, try again and again and again until you get a 64kb .bin file in your desktop, if it keeps to giving you a hard time, disconnect in CDMA WS and try again, or reboot both your computer and the phone and keep trying
5. Here comes the fun part, do you like the game “where is Waldo?”, if so then you are going to like “where is my 6 digit SPC”, open the bin file in notepad, you will see a bunch of strange digits, you are going to be looking for the only 6 digit number that is together. So maximize your notepad and start scrolling up and down, right and left.
6. Had Fun? Well fun is over.. Close everything and Open QXDM, Select Options, Communications and select your port number, and select ok. Select View, New, Common, Command Output. Now in the white command box located in the lower part of the program type the following commands:
spc YOUR6DIGITSPC
<ENTER>
requestnvitemread ds_mip_ss_user_prof
<ENTER>
You will get a bunch of data, it will start with the DIAG TX Item section, ignore this part and go down until you see the DIAG RX(check step 14 for an example) item section, select and copy this part to the end of the output to a notepad text file and save it as “sprint”
Now again in the command input box type
requestnvitemread ds_mip_ss_user_prof 1
<ENTER>
Do the same for the new output but save the notepad file as “boost”
7. Close everything, we almost done with the incognito, open QPST configuration go the Ports tab and add a new port, select your port number, if nothing shows up uncheck the “show serial….blah blah” box and it will show your port number, select it and add it, you will now see your COM port with your phone connected. If it’s disabled, enable the port.
8. Now start client “service programming”, select your active phone, Read from phone, input your spc, after its done, save to file, save in a safe place, preferably in your p0rn folder. Close everything and turn off your incognito and give one last kiss to it and put it away.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT EVER TURN ON YOUR PHONE AGAIN
10. Install the Samsung galaxy s drivers. Connect your Epic and dial ##8778#, it will send you to the ultra secret menu and select in both options MODEM, let your computer install the drivers and open CDMA workshop again.
11. Connect to new created port in CDMA workshop (go back to step 3 if you need help with this). Go to the security tab and in the Password section delete all the Fs and send 01F2030F5F678FF9 it will give you the epic’s SPC, write it down(make sure you select the “custom password” selection)
11. go back to the step 9
12,..ohh there isn’t one? Well lets continue. Close CDMA and open QPST, add the new port for the epic and start service programming, here you will open 2 new connections, the active phone and one offline “SURF6025-ZRF6000-A”
13. In the offline window open the incognito file saved earlier which should be saved in the you know what folder, for the online window read from your epic and send the SPC
14. Now lets find your HA and AAA keys for both your profiles so open the sprint and boost notepad files, Sprint’s HA and Boost’s HA and AAA are a 12 digit key, Sprint’s AAA is 32 digit key, if you look in the output data you got you will see 2 sections each with [0-15] lines, your keys are the very last 2 digits of each line. You will see something like this
This is “my” sprint data output
DIAG RX item:
index = 0
mn_ha_shared_secret_length = 0x06
mn_ha_shared_secret[0] = 0x12
mn_ha_shared_secret[1] = 0x34
mn_ha_shared_secret[2] = 0x64
mn_ha_shared_secret[3] = 0x45
mn_ha_shared_secret[4] = 0x45
mn_ha_shared_secret[5] = 0x78
mn_ha_shared_secret[6] = 0x00
mn_ha_shared_secret[7] = 0x00
mn_ha_shared_secret[8] = 0x00
mn_ha_shared_secret[9] = 0x00
mn_ha_shared_secret[10] = 0x00
mn_ha_shared_secret[11] = 0x00
mn_ha_shared_secret[12] = 0x00
mn_ha_shared_secret[13] = 0x00
mn_ha_shared_secret[14] = 0x00
mn_ha_shared_secret[15] = 0x00
mn_aaa_shared_secret_length = 0x10
mn_aaa_shared_secret[0] = 0xE8
mn_aaa_shared_secret[1] = 0x13
mn_aaa_shared_secret[2] = 0xE3
mn_aaa_shared_secret[3] = 0x80
mn_aaa_shared_secret[4] = 0x13
mn_aaa_shared_secret[5] = 0x15
mn_aaa_shared_secret[6] = 0xES
mn_aaa_shared_secret[7] = 0x78
mn_aaa_shared_secret[8] = 0x8D
mn_aaa_shared_secret[9] = 0xD4
mn_aaa_shared_secret[10] = 0x78
mn_aaa_shared_secret[11] = 0x0B
mn_aaa_shared_secret[12] = 0x45
mn_aaa_shared_secret[13] = 0x18
mn_aaa_shared_secret[14] = 0x88
mn_aaa_shared_secret[15] = 0x78
In this case “my” sprint ha key is 123464454578 and “my” aaa is E813E3801315ES788DD4780B45188878
ok now look and find yours, write it down and do the same for boost’s ha and aaa secret keys
15. With both windows open in QPST service programming start matching whats in the “M.IP” tab from the incognito file to the epic’s online one, you need to create a new profile and enable it, this new profile it’s the one that control’s your 1x boost mobile network and your NAI should be something like “[email protected]”, when entering the shared secret keys select “enter Hex value”, enter both the aaa and ha keys in both profiles, for the boost mobile primary address enter 0.0.0.0.
15.666 (thanks to ifuxwituz_)
You may want to try the following settings in the MIP and PPP config, if you are having problems
in M.IP settings for
profile 0 the NAI is MEID(DEC)@hcm.sprint.com
Example: [email protected]
home address: 0.0.0.0
primary ha address: 68.28.15.12
secondary HA address: 68.28.31.12
Profile 1
NAI [email protected]
home adress: 0.0.0.0
primary ha address: 255.255.255.255
secondary ha address: 0.0.0.0
PPP Config
Um settings:
tethered nai: boostmobile.com
user ID: [email protected]
check the 1xEVDO->1x box
AN settings
User ID: [email protected] (this is just an example you replace the 268****** number with your MEID(DEC) number
NOTE: in case you have a good ESN epic and you might want to backup your secret keys…once you change the keys..the default ones are going to be gone for EVER! To do this go back to step 6, the epic only has one profile.
16. in the PPP config tab, you need to also match both Um and AN users IDs. if the incognito files doesn’t have an ID listed, erase it from the epic too! (if you can't erase it, ctrl+d to "null" the box{thanks deekane})
17. When you are done, “write to phone”, epic will reboot and when its back online, your should now see the 3g arrows dancing, your might have to wait 10-15 minutes for it to appear, if it doesn’t go back to step 15 and make sure all info matches again
18. MMS works too!!! If you are in a eclair ROM (2.1) Dial ##3282#, edit and enter your epic’s spc, scroll down and on change the MMSC URL to “mm.myboostmobile.com” .
For Froyo Roms (2.2) check post #54, or open the “voice dialer” app, say “OPEN A P N” (try V, P, N or just A, P , N) and open the “Open APN” menu. Open “Sprint”, scroll down to the “mms proxy”, select it and erase what is there, now press the “menu” soft button in your epic and save. Restart your phone and now you can start sending funny pictures of cats!!!
Video, Pic, and Slideshow MMS works.
19. If you want to check you are connected to a 3g (EvDo) network, Dial *#info*1111# hit phone information then scroll down to see if you're connected to cdma1xrtt or evdo, you should see CDMA -EvDo rev. A in the "network type" (thanks zipxavier)
YOU MUST BE IN A EVDO AREA!!!!!
20. VOICE MAIL NOTIFICATIONS NOW WORKS, CHECK POST #2 for the apk!!! thanks m4f1050!! (do not update the apk or install it from the market)
EXTRA BONUS, TXT and VOICE:
ON the CDMA Tab in service programming, your Directory # should match your phone number..and the IMSI_S is your “MIN” number which boost mobile calls it something else I forgot, in case your text or voice doesn’t work..this is what you need to check first it matches.
Thanks to:
Mobile-files.us, ppcgeeks, xda, sda, mars, the sun, howardforums, special thanks to chimstar from mofi for the help with the MMS problem. This guide was made with the help of a lot people in different threads about different stuff..sorry for not listed everyone
About me:
I’m a “flasher”..but I don’t work for that, I only flash my family and friend’s phones because flashed phones are kinda “buggy” sometimes and any updates and modifications will have an impact on the phone..this is why I don’t flash phones of strangers or charge money....I’m an IT self-employed technician and I do charge money to repair their computers.. I have 1 year experience with flashing phones; my first phone was the HTC Pro 2 to metropcs..and lots of droid 1 to metro..

NV items 65-466 and 1192-1194? what info are you exactly looking for? NAI, ha, aaa keys?
this guide does not use the copy and paste NV items method...
try pulling your ha and aaa keys for both sprint and boostmobile profiles via qxdm, if you can, then thats pretty much the most important info that you need. you will be needing your rant's spc for that
check step 6 and 11 for more info..
Quick! Hurry!!!!

*this is side tracked from what i posted above but, if you are NOT getting 3g evdo speeds make sure your donor is a 3G EVDO enabled phone like the OP stated. I am currently not getting 3G speeds on my phone because i used the Samsung mirro (dont ask why) as a donor and it is not 3G enabled so i will have to go purchase a Boostmobile Incognito now....(BLACKBERRY'S DO NOT WORK AS DONORS [at least from what i know])
NEED HELP!!!
once you break 3g... is there anyway you can get it back... i had flash few months ago... but didnt know if you modify you modem you will break your 3g... if you could help me with this i would really appreciated it
Does anyone know if this can be done on an Epic with a bad ESN? I'm using Midnight rom 2.7 EXT4 on Crickets 60.00 Plan. I am sick of dealing with Crickets ghetto trash reps!
The phone was purchased through craigslist and I've checked with sprint and it is a bad ESN phone. Since the phone will work on sprints network, will that block boost customers from using Bad ESN Sprint phones?
An answer would be great guys.

It doesn't matter what ESN is on your Epic because changing it to the ESN of the Incognito is a required part of the process that comes before this guide (getting the Epic to connect to Boost in the first place).
Can't go into much more detail without getting moderated...
help please 3g

if you break the 3g in your epic..you need to redo the steps to get the right ha and aaa key again in your epic from the incognito.

I have the same problem..my wife's epic some days has great speeds but mine, which is right next to it, will have <200kpbs download speeds and VICE VERSA.
THIS DOESN'T NOT SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE PHONE
seems like sprint\boost is doing some network changes, especially if your area is currently rolling out 4g...
when will be solved?? i dont know
also, not only boost mobile users are having this problems..sprint users too..there is thread about it in the evo forums.
Thanks for your reply @Leviuqse,I guess I just have to wait it,would it make difference if 4g was already deployed yet in my area for speeds,and has anyone successfully found a 4g solution yet for boost Epic or Evo,just googling the topic brings you to alot of forums and ideas but no bypass tho,sorry if I am asking in the wrong area, im just really into my new phone
Note to admins: Please move this thread to the thunderbolt section, as a new member I can only post in this section.
No one was sharing this technique, only trying to sell it.... I work in the cell phone/tech industry too (hxxp://benjamincomputerrepair.com) but if someone is competent enough to do it on their own, why not let them instead of being a jew?
note to admins: THIS IS NOT INSTRUCTIONS ON MEID CLONING, this specificly tells you to use noones meid except your own so this is not considered cloning by any means!!!!!
First of all, be sure to write value "01" to NV ITEM 0855 (I used DFS CDMATOOL) on both modems to enable QPST.)
Follow the directions in this post to change your MEID to the 9900 MEID that appears on your 9k modem (in nv_only mode, NOT the A100 meid in ruim mode). I used DFS's write button (after zeroing out and rebooting) instead of the "requestnvitemwrite meid 0x00#####" method. This post describes the A0XXXX MEID for some reason, but I used my 9900 meid.

How to Full Flash Htc Thunderbolt (Almost)!!!!!
You can skip the QXDM part and just use DFS to write 0 as your meid first, then write 9900 MEID (from your 9k modem) to the phone's normal diag port.
Also, DO NOT use any MEID other than one already found on your phone, or else it is a FEDERAL CRIME. No, im not joking, its call cloning and its VERY illegal.
amft from cricketusers.com said:
If you connect to the 9K diag port in CDMA WS 3.5+ and read you should get an actual MEID, this can then be used as the MEID on the account.
I would suggest doing this before the Data settings above.
The problem comes in because the Thunderbolt has two radios (hence the two ports) and the 1X and/or Voice radio only has an IMEI.
If you use QPST EFS Explorer you can add a directory named 'opensesamedoor' and it will unlock the NVM folder, this allows you to copy NV item 0 and 1943 to your desktop (drag & drop) and then delete them from the phone.
Use a hex editor to edit the two files changing any numbers or letters to zeros. After editing the files you can right click in the folder and add them back from the computer.
After a manual reboot, open QXDM and type 'RequestNvItemRead Meid' if it shows zeros type 'RequestNvItemWrite Meid 0x00XXXX' <-your Meid.
Reboot manually and your Thunderbolt should have it's actual Meid under the About Phone menu.....
I'm not responsible for any damages to your device.
I haven't tried the conversion method but I'm sure it works too.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then dial *#*#4636#*#* and set your mode to CDMA/LTE EvDo auto (settings may vary for different roms/people), and under wireless and networks, your mode to CDMA Only and roaming to Automatic.
I'm using 45722.prl
You must set your APN's correctly! And to remove Verizon's restrictions on your APNs, I deleted "mandatoryapnlist.txt" in the EFS, I also deleted the LTE folders in my EFS.
BE SURE TO WRITE ALL SETTINGS TO BOTH MODEMS, and put your 9k modem in HDR mode, and the normal modem in CDMA IS2000 mode.
(use
cdmatool.com
DFS CDMATOOL and QPST EFS Browser (google "QPST 355 mediafire" without quotes to find a direct link to QPST (should be first result)
From there you follow the any normal flashing tutorial, except for the changes I mentioned above.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU F*CK YOUR SH*T UP, OK?! FOR ALL I KNOW YOU MIGHT BRICK YOUR SH*T BUT YOU BETTER NOT BLAME ME.
edit: I know your MEID may have appeared the same/similar before, but for some reason doing this stops your 9k meid from switching.....
Heres a little treat, MR2.5 MDM9K Patched for 3g, I patched it myself with a hex editor, but credits go to either some chinese dude who posted this fix or the guy who posted this in the thunderbolt thread at cricketusers.

I have been able to get 3g and calls and text working but call will drop and are breaking up. I was only able to get the nvm folder unlocked on the regular diagnostic modem with the a000 meid but not the 9k modem with the 9900 meid and was wanting to know if thats why my phone is acting the way it is.
I have tried using cdma auto prl and cdma- lte/evdo auto but still doesnt help. When I bought the phone it didn't come with a sim but had a few around and I have to have them in in order to make a call but the signal keeps droping in and out and very choppy. In order to unlock the 9k modem do I have to have the original sim? Any help would be awesome cause I am stumped right now and out of options
Help 3g
hi guys ive followed the guide but not getting 3g yet, can you guys help me out with this, also i have unlocked the nv folder. any help would be really apreciate it
Thanks in advanced
I have a tremendous brain cramp. After days of toiling, I am stuck trying to get 3g to work. I have 1x. No idea what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone help me?
Ok I have a Evo 3D flashed to boost. I did it myself. Heres exactly how I flashed it:
1. Activated Incognito Donor and let the prl update.
2. Heres where Im kind of confused. I'm using CDMA Workshop 3.8.3 and qpst and qxdm. I read the nv items. I was told it should take a little while to read them. Mine dont. Takes like 10 seconds to read 465, and 466 and 1 second for 1192,1194. For my range I put 465-1194. Is that what I'm doing wrong? When I read 465-465 it reads very fast. Lastly if I read 465- the numbers already there which is 65535 it gets t0 %76 and says phones does not answer. Does it everytime even when I restart the incognito a million times.
3. I read Nams 1 and 2.
4. Read meid and obtained the SPC Code.
5. I studied profiles 0 and 1 tot he T.
6. Obtained the aa and aaa keys. for profile 1 is the aaa keys 12 digits or 6. That also confused me in the guide.
Evo:
1. **Repaired MEID**
2. Wrote NV Items 465,466,1192,1194. I wrote the NV items that took 15 seconds.
3. Wrote SPC code
4. I didnt write the nam files i just did the ##786# reset then wrote the spc code again and restarted phone and let it activate then canceled the PRL update.
5. Wrote the aa and aaa keys to profiles 0 and 1.
6. fully activated and stuck on 1x data speeds. Im on a stock rom (but even on a 4g evo rooted even tried multiple roms im still on 1x.)
Ive tried some methods such as change the proxy ip to 0.0.0.0 then http proxy port to 0. Didnt help at all.
Also tried going into EVDO and changing it from Automatic to CDMA Only. Still on 1x.
PLEASE HELP IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR ANSWERS FOR MONTHS AND NOTHING!!!! THANKS SO MUCH!
