[Q] Educational Purposes Esn and imei repair hero cdma. - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I in no way intend to commit fraud and/or try to connect to a cdma network that does not allow my phone to be connected. The is me asking someone with knowledge if you know how to or can point me in the right direction about how to change/or zero out my esn and imei numbers. I know the is illegal and i know some people on here dont condone this but i would like to know how just for educational purposes i dont see why it cant be permitted. I know it can be done so please dont insult me buy saying it cant be. I have done extensive research upon this matter i know you need the htc diag divers i know you need qxdm and i know you also need cdma workshop.I have all these My only porblem is i cant get the diag drivers to work and i cant get cdma workshop to connect to a com port. So i am stuck and if it helps i have a hero rooted with cm6 2.2 rom. Please Maybe someone can get with me off fourm with this if this really is a touchy subject. Just pm me. Hope to get some good news.

If you flash a 2.1 rom that has sense and dial a certain number into the dialer I think you view everything you want to. At least I think so. I don't know what the code is off hand.

Ok so my rom its the problem ok that's good I just flashed to a 2.1 rom and I think that number is ##3432# but it didn't work

Here's some codes for the hero that I know of. There may be more?
##786# <-- Forgot the name for this one.....
##3424# <--DM Mode
##3282# <--EPST Menu
*#*#4636#*#* <--- Testing Menu
##775# <---Update PRL file

i think the one you want is ##786#. There are certain apk's in the sense ROMs that are used to access these features.

Ok that ##786# worked but when I go to reset it says password what's that password?

the password is your MSL

How do I get the msl code
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

call sprint or follow this guide > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=689470&highlight=msl+code

Worked like a charm now if I go to the ##786# and go to reset and put in the msl code what happens? can I change my esn?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

I thought there were these 2 options, View and Edit. You would want Edit. And I think you can Edit the things in there.

##3282# <--EPST Menu, thats the one your talking about unCoRrUpTeD i was talking about the ##786# press menu and it says reset but i found out that it just resets it to the default and nothing more

im only posting this link for educational purposes and what you do with this info is on you, i think if you follow this guide you can reverse the same process with other phones, well in my theory, as long as its 2.1.
NOTE- this only works for 2.1 so for now 2.2 is a different story and so on and so forth
This is your holy grail- please dont commit fraud or any other illegal activities i only wanted to know this to expand my knowledge of these wonderful devices and im pretty sure you do to because who wouldn't, i think if you wanna know something you should be able to. After all its about open source right? Thank you all for your support and xda without you i would be lost.
One more thing- in the how to guide below, it says to run cdma workshop for the msl code i personally would follow the method with alogcat as posted in this forum its just too easy.

PS-if this link goes dead for some reason, i have a back up and will email provided you pm me.

after i do this i will flash to a different rom like 2.2 and see if the zeroed out esn and imeid are the same or if it just resets to the original esn and imeid and i will probably end up re-writing this (how to) in the link above and in the coming future and it will be STEP-BY-STEP-BY-STEP trust me i got you all, and with pics too.

deactivating push to talk

My girlfriend owns a Tilt and we foolishly activated push to talk and created a username and all. now I want to get rid of the feature all together (disabling only creates that blue icon in the top bar and doesn't go away). I've tried soft reset as well as removing the battery and the sim card but it doesn't appear to make a difference. how do I get of this little pain in the ass?

delete the "ptt" file using a registry editor. there are threads on how to do this please use the search function.
I did search the forums and most of the posts involved remapping the ptt key, not actually disabling the service, which is what I want to do. The service is active, and I want to turn it off as if I'd never activated it.
call up at&t then
I did a Hard Reset, which did the trick.
I also had made a back-up prior to activating it so I had something to go back to when I was done messing with it.
when I do a hard reset will i have to re-activate the phone with the provider, in this case at&t, via ESN and all the other info?
You will not have to reactivate your phone, but you will lose any data not stored on a MicroSD card.

WOW LOL WOW
I love the condescending attitudes of people who know more and refuse to help out those looking for some help.
I know how to do reg tweaks, cabs and so forth but my experience with flashing and hard reseting isn't there yet.
Go LOL and tell me how 1337 you are, thanks for the help.
I don't know if it so much condescending as it is trying to develop the site.Going by your joining date this appears to be your first post. Coming on to a developers site and asking how to get rid of an AT$T service is like going on to a hardcore Hot Rod Enthusiast site and asking how to do an oil change on your Honda. Sorry

XDA is hands down the best entertainment on the web. Who needs YouTube!
here, i can actually help. you need to either delete the reg keys, or the easy thing would be to delete the service from starting with the phone.
get Sk tools, and in process u can kill the PTT...and also in windows startup you can disable the ptt

"Identity"

Moderator feel free to move this thread if it's not developement or delete it.
Well I expose my question :
I live in france and use sfr.
Since the only sell HTC Magic they developped a program for the voicemail.
Problem when I lauched the program it says : " This programme is only for HTC magic user your device isn't supported."
How can I appear as a HTC Magic?
I've tried to modify build.prop (I think it's that file to appear as a magic user),
But it didn't worked.
here a copy of my build.prop.
If any mod could look my problem and tell me how to do this or if it's possible.

are you kidding? learn to read. he says hes in france and has SFR, NOT TMO.
dixxa, you might want to pop this into the app forum because one of the devs over there recently patched the t-mobile "My Account" program when a similar thing was happening to anyone who had a custom ROM. someone may be able to find you a suitable hack for the voicemail program.
yeah I think I'll try that but I would prefer a more rapid solution.
Patching sound so heavy well I'll go for it.
I'll let this thread open if a dev look and know it could be great.
Are you talking about SFR Répondeur Visuel ?
I think it's expecting "HTC Magic" as product model.
Try this in build.prop :
ro.product.model=HTC Magic
Edit: dixxa, check your PMs as well
I move your thread in Q&A section, i think you should go to http://forums.smartphonefrance.info/index.php?c=7 and ask them.
Or you should try a apps that change your user agent search on the market.
Well,
I came back home and tried to modify the line zappletoo suggested.
It worked my phone is identified as a Magic and I can now use my app
Thx Xda.
PS: You can close this thread.

sportingindex java app

has anybody managed to get this working on the X1? I've tried a few java beds and currently on tnt thanks to another thread to get sky+ mobile record working but no luck on entering log in for SI. Their site says compatible with HTC / winmo devices so should be a way? thank
You have provided inaccurate information. There is no cuch application...
The company "sportingindex" has a mobile app called "Bet On The Move". If that's the app you are asking about, provide a download link and I'll try it.
Sorry orlesi, yes that's the app I meant. Link here
Just can't get any keystrokes into the i.d. or password boxes from on screen or hardwear keyboard.
Well, it's weird, but you'll have to use the number keys to enter the information. When you hold the blue button and activate the numbers on the keyboard you can use them as a keypad on a regular phone, the one with several letters for every number. It's kinda annoying and bizarre, but you'll get used to it.
Cheers .
I'd not thought of that, bizarre! thanks very much

Changing APN settings - not saving

Whenever I try to add an APN, if I change the MCC or MNC numbers from default, the APN automatically deletes itself when I click save.
Any ideas as to why? I know I have the correct numbers for my service as I've gotten them from multiple sources.
I'm with Bell Mobility, BTW.
its basicly the same reason why it does it in donut, the way the RIL works it isnt set up for CDMA, so changing those settings makes it disappear
Okay, so how can I get the correct settings?
great question i have been trying to find an answer myself, i think we have to change to the RIL used in rls3 and prior
Here is the libhtcgeneric-ril from rls3. Dont know if it will help but here it is.
just applied the update should let you adjust it now, also the call settings are no longer broken
omg, thought i was only one with that problem
I am trying to put in cricket settings but kept disappearing on me, i will try this
Okay so what do I do with the update I put it on sd card and extracted and nothing happend...it was just an extra file...nothing changed in my settings...keep getting Network or Sim error...BTW I am with Sprint please HELP...I have NO caller ID

did you install it as an update or just extract it, you have to reboot the phone with the androidupdate.tar in your andboot folder then press the D-pad button and update it that way then go into your apn's and change them that way
Omg I am sooooo sorry I have no idea what ur talking about please help...I only extracted it...andboot folder??? I feel sooooo stupid Please help...
changing your APN isnt going to fix your caller ID i thought you were running a newer build than zen-hero
Well how do I fix it...right now I can't even get into the settings to see if my caller id is checked I get a network or sim error so once I get in I can go from there...Is there a newer hero build???
Its called sense tattoo incubus has a sweet build
Sent from my Full Android on Vogue using XDA App
Okay where do I find it...can u paste the link here for me please...What is the andboot folder??? and where do I find it???
seriously forum search this stuff, the thread is right on the front page
I apologize if I am being a lil annoying I am just extremly new this...the zen-hero is the first and only build that I have ever used and/or tried to use so...I dont really know what I am doing...

Read the FAQ thread.
The update didn't work for me. My APN still gets deleted if I change the MCC or MNC.
The reason for disappearing APNs is 'fix for payed applications' in whatever build you running. You have 2 options:
1 Remove 'fix for payed applications' from system.rc (you live in Canada and I guess that you don't need it anyway).
2 Make your APN and don't change MNC and MCC values(save). Make your APN default. Edit APN again and change MNC and MCC(save).
APN will disappear but after reboot data will work!!!
I hope this will help
I have the same problem APN is deleted once i change MCC or MNC.
How can i remove 'fix for payed applications' from system.rc ?

[Q] MMS issue on Darky's 9.4

Hi! I'm on darky's 9.4 and i can't send mms.. i don't know why it is like this but do anyone of you know a fix for it? =) thanks!
Check your mobile carriers APN values. Then go into your phones settings.
Wireless & network>Mobile networks>Access Point Names.
Make sure all the values are correct.
Where can I find those values?
Who is your mobile carrier? What region? Where's your google skills?
I'll see what I can find, I just need the info.
cheers for being so awesome
Mobile carrier is Telenor in sweden
http://www.phoneontherun.com/carriers_en.php?v_pais=59
Select your region and network, and make sure those values are correct.
I did that but still, it just keep saying ''Sending'' and nothing happens :/
When you went in to the Access Point Names section of the phone, did you adjust the values in both sections? There is an Internet section, and an MMS section.
If that doesn't solve your issue I have no idea what it could be. Might be a rom issue. If you still can't get it working, maybe ask someone in Darky's thread in the development section.
I did it on both.. :/ I'm realy greatfull that you tried. You're great!
I'm sorry I couldn't help you out with your problem, and you are welcome.
If I can think of anything else it could be, I'll post it here.
Thank's alot
I think I may have found something...
Dial this code into your dialer.
*#1234#
What does it say next to CSC?
thanks alot
sorry bout the wierd second ''thanks alot'' reply.. i didn't notice that a second comment tab opened up.. anyway it says : I9000OXXJS1
Hey, no worries weirdo
We're going to try something.
I need you to go to Settings>About Phone>Status. Write down your imei number.
Then in your dialer, dial this code. *#272*imei#* (your number goes where imei is)
Tell me what 3 letter code is selected for your phone. Do not touch anything yet. To leave that menu just back out with the back button.
it says XEN
