Hello .. I have my HTC hero back on sprint. but no EVDO or DATA connectiuon at all.. I went to the corporate store and of course the MSL code did not work.. so i told the guy well use 000000 and the guy said .. so u messed with the phone...and i had to say yes...therefore they are not messing with it at all...even when i putted the right MSL.. L*( so. what can I do to get my EVDO DATA back?
I can make calls etc...
my other question is...
if you flash your phone..with STOCK(RADIO,STOCK APPS) and you changed the MSL before...will the STOCK flash do all that it suppose to do?
I had the same sort of thing happen to me when I was trying to pass a rooted Pre to a friend. Using the RUU might sort it out, if it doesn't call customer care and ask them to send out the hands-free provisioning signal again. That will put the right info on your phone. Most of all, don't panic All will be well once again.
That's a problem..the hands free activation starts working when you turn oin the phone but it does not complete it gives an error 1012

that's probably due to the MSL not matching the one on file. have you tried rewriting the correct MSL code to the phone? the handsfree activation and profile update should work after that.
Yes I did that...They gave me the MSL...and It does matches the one on file...I am going to try using the RUU again ..
fix
Take the phone back to the store all they have to do is reprovision the phone. If the won't work on the.phone factory reset the phone. I work for Sprint and either will work.
But I am thinking that Update Profile...and Hands Free activation need a EV or 3g whatever connection...right? I don't have it there is no ICON
Just to make sure.. I am running the RUU properly...I have to go to the bootloader( 3 android skaters) and select Fastboot right?
3 things I can think of that worked for me the other day, you will need your MSL and do a ##RTN# (##786#) hit menu then reset. It will ask for MSL but it will also delete everything. should work as long as you have 1.5 based off the 1.29 or 1.56.. Or you can try ##DATA# (##3282#) and reset the data profile. If that does not work call sprint or go into your local store and have them reset your Vision username. 1 of those 3 things should get you where you need to be. If they do not work it is more than likely hardware related.
Just wanted to note as I am still an active employee for sprint as well, a data provision will not work, they will only be able to go these routes in this case, so def. back up any information you may want to keep if you have not already.
ok thanks for all the replies...I just came from a Sprint store, and they guy said that my DATA was not provision properly and I have to wait 1 hour take out the battery ... and turn the phone on again..that should do it...if it does not I ll call Sprint and have them reset my Vision Password ... Thankss!
Ok I think I know what's the problem...First I don't have a recovery thing....HOME+POWER ON brings me to a Exclamation ICON I guess there is where my info should be ... and because the phone was rooted before that image is gone...so the ##3282# USERNAME menu is empty...where can I get that info? that suppose to be there? IP, etc
Your data information will populate automatically once provisioning completes, Id try calling tech support having them reset your vision user name not password then preforming a RTN or doing the RUU prior which should reset everything to what it needs to be prior to root.

thanks man
FIX
It is not the username and password. It is the fact that the phone is not recognizing there is a network available i have seen this issue a bunch of times. you are going to have to do a hard reset (not a ##786#)or you can take it back to the store and have them provision the phone through icss.
I have done Hard Resets more than 5 times. now ... So i am getting a new phone, and that's it .. I'm tired of goind around with my phone..having i consirderation that my phone was in Metropcs and then to Sprint , maybe that screwed something, ahd the guys over in the corporate store don't want to work on it.
if you were in my area i would help!!

Hard resets will do nothing... Run the RUU... Your MSL has no ties to your provisioning.. So I don't know why that keeps coming up.. I'm not sure how Metro does things, but to take that ESN to another carrier usually needs a radio flash and if they had done that, you will not be able to use it unless you reflash the sprint RUU...
You cannot exchange a phone that you have maliciously changed... It has nothing to do with the phone, its the user....

Hey, he bought the phone. There is nothing 'malicious' about him modifying or customizing 'his' phone. The only thing malicious here is your attitude. Well, that and the phone company Nazis warping the brilliant idea that Google had when the Android was first conceived. It wasn't supposed to be about control, or about 'nickle and dime-ing' their customers to death reselling features that are already built into the OS.
Grow a soul, or at least a pair.
I bought a used TP2 off of ebay the other day just to tinker with it. I've been playing with it for a week or so trying to unlock it, I know there is an unlocker made by Olipro/Cmonex available but I guess you have to pay for that. Although I have the Sprint TP2 and that one is Sim unlocked, but I was able to find a way to SIM lock/unlock it, I'm still trying to figure out how to turn Security off though, I mean setting Secu_Flag to 0. I I did a lot of searching but couldn't find any instructions about unlocking the TP2 for free. So here is what I found so far:
Step 1- HardSPL your TP2 (This is available for free)
Step 2- Load the following RUU rom to your TP2. It looks like this Rom when loaded to the RAM it enables some Atcmd commands that allows us to play with NV part of the ROM thus allowing us to Lock/Unlock: RUU_Signed.nbh (I couldn't post the link I need to post 8 times before I can) "mediafire.com/?n11beq12kk24hy5"
Step 3- Run the following Atcmd: (This sets the Simlock flags to 0 thus removing the Simlock:
[email protected]=0,1,code "where "code" is your MSL ( I set my MSL code to 000000 and found out that 22051978 worked too, I found this on the internet somewhere)
[email protected]=0,2,code
[email protected]=0,4,code
[email protected]=0,8,code
This only unlocks the SIM, I was able to toggle those on and Off on My Sprint TP2 without any problem. Now if only I can find the command that disables the Secu_Flag. I don't have a lot of experience with this maybe some of you guys have experience and could point me in the right direction to continue my small project I would appreciate it.

Verizon is not US radio locked, so a Sim unlock should be all you need.

Hi there
Attached you will find a zip file containing two files RunATCommands.exe and result.txt. Create a new folder and unzip them to that folder.
You will also need to download pget.exe,prun.exe and pput.exe which you can find here: ( links have been blocked) in the same folder in addition to AtCmd.exe (Search for this using google)
Unzip the RunAtCommand.zip to the same folder where you saved the above p...exe files and Atcmd.exe. Make sure your phone is connected to activesync or windows mobile device center then run RunAtCommand.exe. You will have a form with a text box where you enter the AT commands you want to send to the phone. Click run command button, at the bottom you will get the result. If you are issuing a command that writes to the phone instead of just reading, and the result is 0, it's actually something like "0\r", you will have a success message too.
You might need .net framework installed on your PC too. and maybe you need to install EnableRapi.cab on your phone if you don't have it.
Let me know how it goes.

Are you saying that you tried the above on a Verizon TP2 and it didn't work? Or are you saying that it does say the phone is Sim unlocked? What happened when you issued the at commands mentioned in the original post? Did you download pget,pput and prun and put atcmd.exe in the same folder as RunATcommands.exe?

Yes im saying this doesnt work, hold up wait. if you send meh that file atcmd.exe it might work. i,ve google all around and can not find itt. and i was saying if the phone is off, like in airplane mode it will say that my phone is sim unlocked

If you don't have atcmd.exe then you don't have the basic requirements for this to work, so why are you saying it doesn't work? I'm baffled. How did you issue the commands if you don't have atcmd.exe? And how did you get back @Simlock=00 if you don't have atcmd? If you indeed got @Simlock=00 after issuing the command [email protected]?40 then your phone is sim unlocked. Try to insert a GSM sim card in it and try it. Tell me what do you get when you issue the command [email protected]?AA please.

I wish I knew, I would have bought it from you for further testing. If anyone wants to sell their TP2 to me for a discount so I can do more testing on different versions of the TP2 please let me know.
Hey ccengineer, did you ever get yourself another tp2? Just noticed something interesting.
I put in a tmobile sim card into a Sprint deactivated tp2 and I got a voicemail notification even though the phone wouldn't register on the tmobile network. You surmised on the ppcgeeks thread that perhaps the US antennas or frequencies were not being assigned. However given that I am getting a voicemail notification every time I turn on the phone, I think the phone is able to talk to the towers. Perhaps there is a network ID blacklist in the NV Ram for Sprint phones.
The link on the first post is not working, can you upload the NBH file again please?
i want to try bur the file is miss...
please someone upload the patched nbh )
Was anyone able to get this working?
Anyone get it to work? Does this basically make the TP2 into a world phone? Any help is appreciated.
Short and sweet. I am unable to activate data all of a sudden on Sprint. My other family member's phones work fine, but I cannot update the profile or the PRL. It just says "Network Error, try again later." Phone calls work fine, and my baseband and all that jazz are showing. It also shows 3G occasionally, but it still says network disconnected. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Update: I've reflashed EFS, and that seems to get me data on most ROMs, except Android L and stock 4.4.4. The second they try to do hands-free/update profile or prl, the update fails and I can't get data. Any ideas? Could it possibly be my SIM card? What's weird is that even when I have a data connection(like on the restored efs), I still can't update profile or PRL...
I've searched the internet for the past week, and nothing has worked. I haven't had a chance to call Sprint and complain, but this is starting to be quite frustrating. I've had data the whole time, but I still can't update profile/prl or complete the hands-free activation. So I can't even go back to stock, because when I do the factory image, the hands-free fails.
Eww sorry man. Probably APN.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
What the.... So apparently sometime last night, my PRL updated on its own, like it's supposed to(old one was from old efs restore). But I still can't manually force the two to updates. So hands-free still fails upon a reset. This practically confirms that my phone is fine, because clearly it can receive the updates, just not pull them down. I'll call them today and #blamesprint.
APNs should be restored upon efs flash right? If not, how do I check them? The APN menu in settings doesn't appear when on the Sprint network.

You'll have to download an APN app off of the Play Store. When I had Sprint there was weird issues with the bearer field. Also they have like 4 different APNs stock and there was one like i.ispnt or something that seemed to work but you had to select between bearer EHRPD (LTE network routed EVDO) or LTE.
All APN apps are giving me an error saying SIM card unknown, even when installed to system. One even says Virgin Mobile. Could this be an issue with my SIM card?
Could be a problem with your SIM card. I'd just take it into a Sprint store quickly and get it resolved.
I fiddled with APNs, there were 12 there(!), so I reentered the correct 5 and could reliably get data. I factory reset and now my phone is unprogrammed(no MIN and wrong phone number), I'm just going to go yell at Sprint now. :fingers-crossed:
Sprint was useless, the tech kept blaming the phone, saying things like "Nexus phones don't have dialer codes" and "your IMEI is bad(WTF?)", then she noticed the padlock on the boot screen where she refused to go further, saying that I tampered with my device. After I informed her that it was MY device(purchased unlocked from Google) and that Sprint had no legal claim to that device, she redirected me to Advanced Phone Support. She also refused to give me a new UICC card, saying that "it couldn't be the problem." I'm done with Sprint for the week, so I'm just going to go custom again and just set the APNs properly each time. Even on stock/L, I can just flash the Sprint APN zip to automatically fix them, correct? If so, where could I find the latest APNs? The latest zip I have is from March or so I believe. Thanks!
Also out of curiousity, how hard do you think it would be to force my way out of a contract ETF-free? I figure if they can't prove it's my device that's faulty, and they aren't giving me a product that I'm paying for.......

thats easy force it to data roaming and start streaming the heck out of anything and everything overnight. Sprint will terminate your contract if your roaming data is consistently to high.
Good evening,
Hate to bother everyone since you're all busy, however i've been trying for 2 days now to do a couple things with this new phone. This LG Aristo 2 was handed to me by a sister in law (not purchased from swappa); What we've been trying to do is have the Phone unlocked and used for T-mobile however it appears that no matter how much we try resetting the phone, booting the unlock app and being greeted with a "Unlock failed: Phone already unlocked" screen and using a different SIM. The phone will pick up the signal, turn to 'searching...' and then connect to the network again but not allow calls/data to go through, The APN settings are also correct.
So plan B is to reinstall the stock android software (kdz) from https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmx210ma-firmwares/; Unfortunately i'm always greeted with an error saying that it cannot complete. Unsure what else to do at this point, Any recommendations?
To clarify, the reason why I'm trying to ensure the unlock has been successful is because we plan to use for calls and data. Texting seems to work, the APNs are correct but data services and calls don't seem to go through, unsure why.
To unlock it via app, you can spend $7ish on eBay. It would take 2 days to get it unlocked.
I have been looking and asking questions I finally found out how to force my phone to take the update. I had to pull the straight talk SIM card from my phone and put in a Verizon SIM card. Went to setting, applications, show system apps and uninstalled google play service updates. Also delete the data for google services framework. Checked for a update twice and it finally came through it took 1BA then updated to 1CA then found the Oreo update. I turned off my phone then put my straight talk SIM card in and turned it back on now ita downloading the update.
How did you get a verizon sim to work and download those updates, I was reading about how to take a sim from a verizon phone and you cant just put it in another phone and work, you have to change the phone on verizon site to get it to work under an acct. I have total wireless witch is similar to straight talk on verizon, (it is also through walmart) and when I try to upgrade my phone using the LG upgrade assistant tool that I installed on a windows pc it gets a message "device authentication failed" make sure your meid is valid. I dont know what to do. thanks.

all i did was take the Veizon sim card out of a working verizon phone and put it in my Lg V20. i did not change a phone from a verizon site i did not call anyone. what i typed out on my post is literally all i had to do. i did not use a LG ugrade tool i did not need a PC.
