NAND Boot with ESN Swap - Touch CDMA Android Development

I've been having a problem where I would swap ESN's on Sprint for another phone and then go back to the Android Vogue and notice data would not be working. In WM there is an Update Profile icon that can reinitiate this. Is there something similar for Android? If not, how do you guys suggest getting data working for someone who swaps phones back and forth often?

Run Android from SD. AFAIK, we don't even have access to the operator settings like in WM.

That's what I thought. I still prefer to run it straight from NAND though I take you guys just flash to WM and then back to Android in order to get data working?

I run from SD, but that is correct. Though I don't think most people swap phones like that. Do becareful with doing too many flashes though as some people attribute it to killing their phones.

Ok so you repaired the Vogue's esn? The problem is that your data setting and passwords are different on your Vogue. I don't know if your android rom has epst. Go to the phone and dial ##778#, if it works you can see your settings. Just try to match them as close as possible to your currently working phone. To edit these values you will need your SPC (msl codes). Typically for phone you need to enter your MDN #(your phone #) and your MSID #. For data you need to match up your MIP settings, MIP Default profile and MIP Custumer Profile 1. Just step through all the settings and match them up with the original phone. Since both are Sprint phones their should not be that many differences.
In the past I have just done a reinstall of an Offical WinMo image from Sprint then get data and phone working. For data go into Settings, phone, internet settings, and run that (I can't remember what the function is called). That should provision your data. Once you are up and running then you should be able to flash back to Android and be fine. In provisioning this way, there may be an issue where it changes your passwords and your original phone may not have data. I have had it happen where both phones would work and sometimes the data on the original does not work. You can dial ##778# in both and compare to make sure they are the same.
If you go into the WinMo section and search you can find information about getting data to work. If you don't find it there try going into the Mogul WinMo section and search. Getting data to work on a WinMo was very common issue when flashing different Roms and is virtually the same process for all WinMo phones. On the WinMo side it's been pretty thoroughly covered on XDA and PPCGEEKS.
You could try a search at mobile-files.us and mobile-files.com. They tend to cover a lot of what you are doing here.

EPST is a executable file that comes with the WinMo roms and is usually in the Windows folder.
I wonder if someone could actually re-code a new version that would work on Droid/Linux?
How do the new Droid phones that come from Sprint get programmed?

I haven't tried this yet, but I wonder if you're just switching back and forth if you really need the provisioning. I've switched back with the flash back to WinMo method, but noticed that the MSID and other data is already still in there. It does go through a data provisioning process of some sort, so maybe it is necessary. But still, if it's already been activated on the phone number previously, it seems like there's some slim chance it might not be necessary to flash back to WM to do a simple ESN swap back.
Has anyone tried it? I'll probably try out my TP2 on Android for a few days again soon now that sound is working, but then get frustrated by the parts that still don't work well and flash back to the Vogue again. So maybe I'll try it then if nobody else has.

You need to switch back to windows mobile in order to activate, even if the phone has the mdn and msid programed in it still has a provisioning code it sends out so you can activate it but you just won't have data

help cant connect to network or save proper network or sms settings

a quick history of what I've done so far
Sumsung I897 captivate from ATT unlock and being used on Telus network was working great for about 4 days, then all kinds of problem started cropping up.
Phone came unlocked, I rooted using update.zip from xda, installed rom manager and started removing ATT bloatware, entered SMS and APN info which worked fine.
Yesterday I noticed that where I once got good reception I was now getting nothing and would have to drive down the street before I would get something descent. I thought maybe I'd put it back to stock with rom manager and see if that would help which it did not. It actually made it worse, decided to go all out and use the Odin3 one click downloader just to make sure I was back to stock firmware. This didn't work either but now I can enter the SMS and change the preferred network type but it doesn't save. Preferred network type is grayed out and even though I can change it it never save same as SMS.
Now I can't hold connecting in my living room where my wifes Milestone gets full bars. I tried taking the phone to where I had the best signal and change the preferred network, SMS, and set the network operator but it doesn't save any info, can't find on operator half the time on manual or auto and gave me an error and logged it to #*9900#
I've been at this for 2 days straight and can't figure out how to get it right back to stock, it seems to keep hanging onto the same preferred network and not saving anything I enter.
What can I do to get back to stock, and it has to be something that wipes everything clean, clean, clean, because even the GSM disconnects stay logged under *#*#4636#*#*
***I desperately even tried pulling the batt and SIM card for the night in hopes that would do something.
So, if I'm understand what happened correctly, you bought an unlocked Captivate, rooted it, deleted some bloatware, entered your Telus APN info and everything worked awesome for about four days. Now everything has gone down the hole. Is that right?
If that is the case, then we need to figure out what changed. Using Odin3 would have definitely put you back to stock/unrooted your phone, I don't think you could go back any further than that. If I were you, I would act like I first got the phone. As in, I would do everything you did to it, as if was day one. At one point, everything worked fine. Try to recreate that. You can always look into exchanging it or perhaps Samsung customer support can give you a little more insight to what's going on. Here's the number if you want to try them out.
Samsung customer service - 1.800.726.7864
Thanks, I've gone through the process a few times today from start to finish trying to figure it out ... maybe some of the problems aren't real problems and just limitations that I didn't know where their. I've since flash with odin3+re-partion to the bone stock i897UCJF6 as in not the one click method. It loaded fine but still have the same issue, I can't set preferred network type or get it to keep the number entered into SMSC. I think if I can get passed that I'll be be one the up side of winning. I keep noticing that the log of GSM disconnects never clears or the usage statistics under *#*#4636#*# , I'm thinking its in the same area that other bad data is being held onto instead of being cleared when flash firmware or factory reset.
Is anyone able to change preferred network type? maybe I was never able to change it but I think I should be able too.
I may be wrong in assuming this but I don't think ATT is going to be interested helping me connect one of their handset that I'm trying to use on foreign network, but I could be wrong and is an open option.

used this to lock my phone to WCDMA only so that problem is solved
*** never mind posted to soon it still didn't stick after rebooting
be carefull using the service menu as I have no idea what most of this stuff does
I got the SMS service number issue fix by taking out my sim, swapping in another known working sim from the same network, setting the service number, pressing update and then swapping back. Before every time I tried to update the service number it spit out an "update error" can anybody tell where the SMS config data is stored? on the phone or sim.
The only problem I'm having now is with reception which maybe fixable if I can set the preferred network to WCDMA only. But the button for that option is a light blue colour vs other phones that I can change this setting on. Does the blue mean anything like a locked function or something that set by the firmware as unchangeable?

[Q] Hero on Verizon

I am working on getting a hero working on Verizon. I currently have created a custom rom using FroShedYo.V6 and update-cm-6.1.0-RC1-Heroc-signed. This is running but I am not getting a data connection. The mobile network state is disconnected and I am always roaming. I was able to do a *228 and both options said they worked.
I replaced the wifi driver with the one from the hero and I have wifi working now. Does anyone know if there is a 3g driver or the like for the hero that I need to replace? Or is this a MMS programming issue?
So close yet so far away.
You gotta change the apn settings and and eri.xml is your rom sense based or what?
The roms I am working with are CM6 based without sense. I think. I am new to android hacking. The eris one is the FroShedYo.V6 and there is no /data directory in either one. I am going to try a different rom with the /data directory already in it.
try hexscrews rom I believe it has apn settings in it for all carriers
I'm wondering if this is a PRI issue. I see there used to be a leaked rom that had an Eris PRI from verizon that was installed. Is there anyway to get this somehow installed on my hero on purpose now?
I now have the hero on the verizon network with talk and text. I used a base eris rom and used the drivers for wifi, screen rotation, bluetooth from a hero rom with the same kernel. The one thing that I do not have working is the 3G data connection. I have looked at several things trying to get this to work but have had no success.
I am getting data connection errors in the radio that I can see in logcat. The phone also appears to always be roaming.
Anyone have any suggestions on how I can get these things fixed?
Well if the phone is always roaming and its set for Verizon that means its picking up sprint, I think the biggest issue your going to run into is that It needs to be provisioned before data will work and you can't do that in cm6 I would try a sense Rom first then try cm6

Guys, I have a GUIDE that is about switching from Sprint-> PagePlus (pageplus would be the better option here) just search for my threads by me. I have everything working using it with CM6. In the guide even have the ERI/APN settings for PagePlus
I have flashed the southpaw odex 2.1 rom and copied over the apn and did the qpst programming. Still stuck on roaming and no data. My phone information currently:
baseband:2.32.40.11.09
PRI:2.20_003
PRL:51893
I have tried the PRL's in the sprinttopageplus guide and still roaming and no data.
I can still make calls and text.
I tried pst programming earlier to try to match settings in another verizon android based phone. I may have messed up the pst programming and got stupid and did not back up. Anyone have a qcn file for the hero working on verizon/pageplus?
bowb, make sure that setting applied match those that I outlined, also in the package thre should be two prl files, one will be used adn it will get data and it will force it to 1x, after teh 1x (it reset the a-key) then use the other prl so that it enables EVDO, if used in reverse order=no data
If there is only 1 prl, then:
http://www.fortuneinyou.com/buddy/pageplus.prl
then
http://www.fortuneinyou.com/buddy/pageplus1.prl
The first prl gets me on the Verizon network without roaming and no data. The second prl I have no data and roaming. I'm getting closer. Thanks for the help.

it will always say roaming unless you use a CyanogenMOD/AOSP ROM, I always get that unless Im on those. I know it's a PITA. ensure that in your mobile network settings that data is enabled while roaming for a 2.1 rom.
TpyoKnig what PRI version are you using? Over on the Eris section when the 2.2 Leaked rom was installed it looks like a Verizon PRI was installed and there were issues with data. I think I might have the opposite. I think I may have a Sprint PRI and it is not working on Verizon. When I logcat the radio it does not compare to a phone working on Verizon and it even has 'Sprint' in the output. Or I may be completely wrong.
So I have change my PRI and it still does not work. I noticed I am getting a
Failed setting numeric '31172' to the current operator
This is a sprint operator code? I have tried changing this in build.props to 31004 which is verizon for the gsm.operator.numeric etc... but it keeps coming back.
Does this lead me down the rabbit hole?

sorry heres my info from bootloader:
Radio: 2.32.40.11.09
as far as the PRI if you arent referring to the radio, then I have the stock one that came with 2.1
I'm going to do a hard reset. Flash the Sprint 2.1 RUU to get my PRI back and try this radio. I see that it is a verizon radio so maybe that will get me some results. If this doesn't do it I probably have messed up my system programming.

Ok, in the guide that I made, it has the appropriate settings that need to be applied in EPST (##3282#) for data with PagePlus (verizon)
The phone I am trying to move from is a samsung reality. Is it possible it has a different way of making the data connection?
try a droid eris rom. It's pretty much the same thing as the hero but for verizon. Me if I was doing this I would ruu back to the 2.27.651.51.5 and set everything up in ##data. Use the verizon prl and then flash the radio. Then go from there.

[Q] Strange issues with CM7

Hi-I'm normally a Captivate user, asking here regarding my fiancee's phone, which we got after she smashed her third Aria.
I made sure I bought an AT&T 3G capable Nexus One, and then right away flashed CM7 on it.
Here are my issues:
1. The phone never ever says 3g. Always says E, even when we know we're 3g. (my captivate showing 3g, for example.)
2. There seems to be weird data issues---we use google voice for texting, and for some reason she'll often go hours or days before messages are delivered. Nobody else has this issue.
Is it possible I have a bad flash, or do I need a new modem/radio, anyone have any ideas? She doesn't really make any use of most of the CM7 features, maybe should just go back to AOSP...
At least regarding issue 1 there's a way to toggle data to stay in 3g or 2g mode through the default Power Control widget. It was a nightmare me because it doesn't change right away and I couldn't tell if it had switched bands or was in the process of doing so.
Can't help ya with the google talk issue since I don't use it.
It would help knowing what radio you are running before we let you know whether you should upgrade or not.
And how did you make sure you bought a 3G capable phone? Was it just in the description, or did you actually verify part numbers?
I would also verify you have a clean install by going into recovery and MANUALLY wiping the /system partition. If you want to be really thorough you can perform a Factory Reset/Data Wipe. This will completely erase your phone (including the OS). Then just install CM7 and the latest gapps.
Also, it does need to be said... just in case. As Eesti mentioned, make sure "Enable 2G" under Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Mobile Network isn't enabled.
Thanks for the responses, sorry I"m just getting back.
It's currently running the 5.08 modem, which is the one everyone says to use unless you're in Korea, right?
I bought it new from a seller on ebay several months ago, and no I guess I didn't verify part numbers but I very specifically bought from a dude with perfect feedback and an auction that guaranteed it. How would I check part number?
I'll check the hard setting---I found the notification widget for 2g/3g, and it says "2g3g" with the light, tapping it makes it say 2g, so I'm assuming it's on.
I tried the "Force into 3g mode" setting by entering debug mode or whatever @ the dialer, setting it's set to WS....whatever...preferred, set it to "ws only" and it shows no signal @ all.
The s/n is behind the battery on the sticker.

[Q] Troubleshooting Mobile Data

Good night my fellow modders. Tonight i come with a particular query, mainly, how do i go about troubleshooting the 3G connection of the motorola razr i. Ever since i flashed Omar's Motorola 4.1.2 Rom from Jan-01-2014, i haven't been able to get internet access through my carrier (Not even through 2g) and ive already checked its not a carrier issue (Since i can use my simcard to browse the internet in another phone just fine), i even tried doing a nandroid restore from the stock firmware i had previous to starting this adventurous task to get things working again, but even then the mobile broadband service is a no-no.
I'm at a loss on what to do, since i've already tried reflashing the ROM, reset-ted the phones APN's, and i've also done the suggested file modification of the losialert timer to both, 1000 and 500 (as seen in the same thread). However those efforts have been to no avail and im quite at a loss on what to do.
Im sorry if my english isnt fully understandable (Its not my native languaje) and im also sorry if this isnt the righ section to post about it, but i cant post directly in the thread since I'm a new member. I thank you beforehand for any and all guidance or help you can offer me.
Don't worry, English is not native language for most of forum users.
First of all buy any pre-paid card from different carrier or borrow it sim-card from friend and test it.
I had similar situation with Virgin Mobile. We have quite few operators in my country and I tested all of them but for this I wasn't prepared. I had my new RAZR i and there was no option to use internet with Virgin Mobile.
After few days of fight with different ROM, modding system, installing apps to APN's I figured it was sim-card. Some carriers have old sim-cards which have something wrong with MCC and MNC code and all phones can work on it but not Android 4.1 and above caused APN automation.
I even called to Virgin to ask for changing sim-card but they said they don't have different version of sim-cards, so I asked "WHAT, so every people in Your network doesn't have internet on Android 4.1+??!!" and they said "Yes, it seems so".
And there was no other way but change carrier. Now I have fully working internet without any modifications.
Sorry for so long and boring reply but for my almost 10 years working with mobile phones it was first situation like this.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my query. Unfortunately, i believe your case doesn't apply to me, since i had no issue using the internet with my operator (Telcel) before flashing the new ROM. I've also already called my operator and they made several procedures to try and reestablish my service, however none of them worked, but they assure me it's a problem with my device, since their service is working correctly.
I have no idea what to do now, but i hope can get the minimum required limit i need to ask for support directly on the thread ;(.
I don't know if this will help.
I had this problem with my brothers phone (galaxy s4 mini) last night. Data wouldn't turn on in anyway. Flash in new ROM from recovery didn't did the trick, nor a nandroid did. The only way I have got it to work was flashing a stock ROM through ODIN. In this case it would be RSD lite. Maybe it I'll work, but be aware of the flashing problems red lite can give. Read it a bit. Good luck!

Do you have the correct APN entries?? You might need to add it manually...
That happens because it doesn't auto configure (correctly, or none at all) for some carriers because I don't have all the carriers in apn-config.xml -- while your specific carrier ROM might have had it already configured and a specific xml list for them.
If you reset APN's and see all the appropriate ones added it might be configuring a wrong ones by default according to the data from the apn-config.xml one in my ROM, just configure accordingly to your carrier information
Note 1: My ROM does not touch the radio, and since the radio images are international anyway it does not make sense to flash recovery images or anything ... the only problem (assuming you did not break anything in hardware during ROM flashing) comes from the android /system partition which is prone to have incorrect carrier settings for data configurations... any bad number or password updated on your carrier it would be configuring something else by doing "reset to default"...
Note 2: To save the APN entry don't exit ... press the options menu and hit save when done modifying -- else it won't remain saved!
The problem starts when You updated from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2??

Did you try to change the APN settings before you tried this? I'm only asking because I'm considering this option, but i would like to rule it out as my final option, because since i started having this issue I've been reading a lot, and the way you fixed your problem sounds like the stock ROM corrected your issue by giving you the default APN's for your carrier.

Thanks a lot for getting out of your way to help me Omar; After troubleshooting the device and several talks with my network carrier I've managed to get a so-so signal. I'm not sure if your ROM configures correctly or not the APN'S of my carrier (Telcel) because when i edited them everything was configured as it was supposed to be (I'm not sure about the password since i can't see it though), the only thing that was missing was the APN for GPRS, but I've been reading several forums and almost no android device needs this in addition to the 3G APN (I've added it nonetheless but the device isn't actively using it, my guess is that you've got to choose either 3g or GPRS); I also called my carrier, and the allegedly reset-ed my service.
I'm still not sure if the device is working properly, mainly because the internet access through the mobile network has become very unstable (Sometimes i get disconnected randomly, and turning on the Wi-Fi gets me disconnected automatically), and even though the radio almost always gets an H+ signal (Which is kinda funny, because i used to get 3G more consistently before) i don't think this is normal behavior. I think it may have to be with the los alert, because in my desperate attempts to get things working, i reflashed your ROM and it was set to 1000 once again and I also think that the hardware can't be broken because i wouldn't be able to connect to the data service otherwise.
Because of this i would like to ask two very specific queries, is there a way to flash this setting without flashing the entirety of the zip file?; And in case there isn't, if i flash the zip with the new configuration, and then proceed to perform a nandroid backup of my previous build, will i lose the new 00radio configuration?
I will be tinkering with the device this weekend and will report back if i can find whats wrong, just in case it's something else and somebody needs help troubleshooting this in the future. Thanks to everyone that has contributed so far, i wouldn't have learned so much in so little time without your help.

Hmm, don't know for sure. I have made some changes within the APN list to get it working, didn't work. But the rare thing was that the cm11 one did have data and when he flashed his stock back with a nandroid or a stock zip file data wouldn't turn on anymore. So I can't rule out that it was the APN list that was making trouble, because even with stock it did not work. Only by flashing through Odin it worked. Radio hasn't been flashed in that process.

Dangers Of Messing With Your Phone

Hello, everyone, I'd like to share my experience, get any help if someone can, and warn some future people.
So a few months ago i rooted and ROM swapped my HTC one. It was great, I loved it, it was fast and simple.
I tried to change the ROM on it the other day and everything went down hill form there. Basically I ended up having no service and everything else seeming to work fine. So after spending an entire day trying to fix it with BD619, i had to call my carrier today. Now i have the sprint phones, and the sprint service, but i have Credo as a carrier. God knows why. They essentially gave me nothing saying my phone must be bricked and they can't help me.
One thing they did try however was to have me put in a ##xxxxx# number, and there i saw and could edit my MDN and MSID, instead of showing my my phone number and the MSID number they both had "No" written. So he had me edit it and put it in, but when i click "commit changes" it said "commit failed" so if anyone knows anything about that or could help me there, it'd greatly appreciated.
Lesson is, even if you think you know what you are doing, and are careful, weird stuff can happen, and if you have an Odd carrier version of an already less support model of phone (the sprint version), then be EXTRA careful.

This is not an uncommon problem but it happens with certain HTC ones and not others. I have helped a few other people with this issue. Most likely, your current ROM is set to RUIN/SIM in Settings-> More-> Mobile Network -> Subscription settings. It needs to be set to NV. If you can't get to this setting, you need to flash a ROM that has the setting available. CM 10 based ROMs all seem to have it. If your phone does not automatically reactivate, you can flash to a stock ROM and use the handsfree activation function and that should get you back up.

Okay so i just flashed a CM 11 build. and Holy S*** I have ******* service! I cant make calls, it says it's not authorized. And i don't see the option you were talking about, in mobile network, i see , Data Enables, Data Roaming, Preferred Network type, System select, (then grayed out) Access Point Names and Network operators, (then not grayed out) carrier settings. When i click carrier settings it says "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped. and it takes me back a screen.
where do i go from here?

Try flashing a CM10 ROM. I've always seen the option there. The kitkat ROMs I have used do not have the option except for the Nocs GE.

Hello, everyone, I'd like to share my experience, get any help if someone can, and warn some future people.
So a few months ago i rooted and ROM swapped my HTC one. It was great, I loved it, it was fast and simple.
I tried to change the ROM on it the other day and everything went down hill form there. Basically I ended up having no service and everything else seeming to work fine. So after spending an entire day trying to fix it with BD619, i had to call my carrier today. Now i have the sprint phones, and the sprint service, but i have Credo as a carrier. God knows why. They essentially gave me nothing saying my phone must be bricked and they can't help me.
One thing they did try however was to have me put in a ##xxxxx# number, and there i saw and could edit my MDN and MSID, instead of showing my my phone number and the MSID number they both had "No" written. So he had me edit it and put it in, but when i click "commit changes" it said "commit failed" so if anyone knows anything about that or could help me there, it'd greatly appreciated.
Lesson is, even if you think you know what you are doing, and are careful, weird stuff can happen, and if you have an Odd carrier version of an already less support model of phone (the sprint version), then be EXTRA careful.

The only way something like this happens is one of two things.....
1. Ur a noob
2. Your a dev and your testing ril on your rom
The only way to fix this which is a cleared meid of some sort......flashing cm10.1 is the only way and aquiring service by switching to nv....once there everything is fixed just flash/restore back to your rom.

i'd kinda like to argue a point here as this just happened to me. i am certainly not new to flashing, starting back with the mogul and having almost every sprint smart phone since then unlocked (windows) or rooted (webos and android).
Using TWRP and previously running ecliptic 4.3 i wiped caches, system and data then installed the 4.4.2 from team d3rp and voila... no service no meid no nothing.... yes i have the latest radio on my phone.
i guess my point in this is that there's a number 3 that you didn't mention.
3. sh!t happens and it's not n00b related.
for anyone else that has this issue... flashing CM 10.1 worked for me. i didn't even have to set up anything, it just picked up signal. so i rebooted, wiped and nandroided back to 4.3 and all is well.
Did you flash a rom that was meant for another carrier?

I didn't... it was SuperOneK. i'm certainly not blaming the rom though. especially not when others are flashing it fine. the ONLY thing i can think of possibly happening is a bad download. I was in a rush and didn't check the md5.
I had a similar problem when flashing miui. Nothing worked. Even went back to a sense backup and nothing worked.
Commit failed as well.
Here's what I did to make it work again.
Flashed cm10. Change the network settings for CDMA. (Boom it SAID I had service..but didn't).
Rebooted a few times (probably not necessary).
Flashed a sense 4.3 ROM that was close to stock.
Update msl and all that. Commit.
For me..changed LTE/CDMA to just CDMA (no 4g in wv).
Boom it worked again. Hope this helps!
