i installed the sprint vvm on my phone. when i restart my phone i get this error. i read on other posts to ignore it cause the vvm works fine, which it does. is this true or is there some kind of conflict with my phone.
btw thanks for the response on my last thread. it worked great.
i have cm6 on the phone.
CM6 is AOSP only (no Sprint, no HTC Sense UI), so it doesn't have any of the Sprint core tools/processes, which is probably why it's giving you that error. Those other posts are probably right.....as long as your VVM works fine, that error is just something you'll have to get used to.

I am thinking i am gonig to activate my cdma touch pro on page plus. has anybody else done this?
I just did my touch diamond last week
i am having nothing but problems trying to program and get my diamond working with page plus right now... what ROM and Radio are you using?
tp on pp
I activated a verizon touch pro on PP. Stuff to know, 1. a sprint tp can be done but much harder. 2. Page plus has a great subforum on howardsforum but even so until you walk through stuff yourself its confusing. Walking through is easy.
3. Activation does not use esn uses longer number under battery (meid?). However you activate be sure to indicate it is a TP because otherwise the system expects ESN numbers.
4. I am very pleased overall
Just fixed my stuck roaming issue, had to update my PRL manually with a NON-EVDO PRL file.. all fixed and im digging page plus so far.
Sorry i did not get back with you sooner vap3riley. Im still kinda new to my phone and do not yet recognise all the icons, its very well posible that i too am stuck in roaming i just dont realise it
My phone is mostly default except for a few apps i added and tweaks. No roms yet.
it deffently has to do with your prl i had the same problem when i first activated my htc hero200 to pages plus... and stupid me flashed it from alltel to sprint to page plus.. but i do know its your prl i have updated mine manully after activating it doing the *22890 thing or what ever i was roaming untill i manully updated the prl then everything is great the only problem that i am haveing now beside the internet and pic messageing is that sometimes my phone has to reboot when i have a incoming text message??? but when i update my prl with the same prl that i use it works fine for a day maybe to then it will start rebooting agian untill i reupdate my prl.. sorry for kinda asking a question while answering one but if you need any help with the prl i can let you know what i do know.. and if any one could help me out i would be very happy you can email me at [email protected] thanks every one
Today while at work I look down and my phone is in Digital Roam for no reason at all. I tried PRL update I just get a force kill on OMADM has stopped unexpectedly.
I tried removing the battery, re flashing to a different radio, tried wiping the phone and reinstalling fresh 2.1.2 still digital roam. tried connecting to wifi no luck.
took it up to the sprint store the guy is familiar with the fresh rom and told me he's seen a flood of issues today with 1.5 and 2.1 regardless of rom. but they reflash the phones with the sprint update and they are fine...
anyone else having this issue? any fixes? help?... i dont want to get the sprint update and I refuse to believe that they implanted something to block people with bootleg roms... right...?
I know the PRL should be 60665 but it shows 27392

Have you tried running Update Profile as well? That has fixed it for me. Also, I know this seems to pertain to ROMs and such, but post this in the Q&A forum.
Hope you get it figured out.

try adb pushing the attached OMADM.apk to your /system/app directory.
OMADM.apk FC's have been reported by others, and i experienced them myself. This APK fixed the issue for me, I was able to update Profile+PRL and everything was hunky dory =D
EDIT: also, it sounds like your on a GSM PRL. this issue has been covered by many. here is a quote from damageless on the issue.
damageless said:
you need to go and set your phone to not use the gsm band. On the dialer, type in *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone information and change the set preferred network type to CDMA auto(PRL) - you must do this regardless if it shows it already.

when you go into phone info, it will show that its set to CDMA auto(prl), but its just a graphical bug, if you try and change it, it will force close, and when the app recovers you will see it set to GMS auto(PRL). Just set it back to CDMA auto(prl).
Good luck =D
The sprint RUU actually wont fix the issue, I work at a service center and saw 4 phones with the same issue today. All had the sprint official 2.1 update.
To fix the issue you need the PRL flashed over the wire, unfortunatley the only way I know how to do this is with the software we use at my store. Ask your local service center to just flash the prl.
I nadroid to a previous version still was in digital roaming tried a prl finally it worked 60665
Usually just hitting Update PRL over and over fixes it.
I did but it kept FC and would just sit on the screen.
Hello,
I've tried a couple roms, including Damage Control, Fresh 2.0d, Fresh 2.3.3 and ZenEXP.
All of the roms except the ZenEXP constantly give me an error 98.
Data Call Failure
Error Code 98. Network Error. Sign in failed. Please wait a moment and try again. You may need to go to [Settings\PCS Vision] and select [Update Vision Profile]. If this problem persists, you may need to contact Sprint.
Even though everything on the phone works, including GPS, MMS, WAP, Text / Call.
Please note that my phone is flashed to a different carrier called Cricket.
I think the only reason I don't get the Error 98 is because ZenEXP is a GSM based rom?
If that's the case, does anyone know what file(s) I might be able to modify in one of the CDMA based roms in order not to get that error? Or just a solution to make that error go away on CDMA based roms?
Thanks for the help!
-Chris
Anyone else get this error?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
try this rom
BitterSweet v1.2
it's made for non-sprint phones/carriers.
how is that cricket service? what area are you in?
i've been thinking about doing this just to get my bill down to $40/month. pretty tempting.

I never travel so its quite good. Everything unlimited for $40 a month is a godsend.
I live in Tulsa, OK. If I goto Oklahoma City I lose service, but I only go there like once a year.
Other than that I always have full bars and call quality is good.
I will have to try that Rom you mentioned.
I like the Damage Control and Fresh roms because they are fast and reliable.
The ZenEXP is a very nice rom except it makes my phone really sluggish even after a fresh wipe. Takes like 5 seconds for it to unlock, sometimes takes 2 or 3 seconds to go between home screens? Damage Control and Fresh are isntant.
I thought it would be quite the opposite considering ZenEXP is OC'd but it's not.
Thanks
I've had a Droid Eris on Cricket since March and never received the 98 error. However, I just recently flashed my new Evo to Cricket, and wallah...Data Call Failure Error 98. It appears this is certainly a Sprint related error, and seems to happen anytime my 3G connection hiccups.
I'm wondering if this error is happening for the same reason on the Hero as it is on the Evo?

Yeah that's when mine would do it. Or anytime I enable WiFi as it switches and loses 3g, bam error 98. No idea why.. its normal for service to lose and gain bars and signal.. not sure why the phone makes a big deal about it.
It's so annoying that I'm sticking with gsm roms until a fix is found. It will seriously pop up and interrupt you no matter what you are doing. Pretty lame.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Yep..it's quite annoying. I have found that I can reproduce the error on my Evo (Android phone) by going to Settings/System updates/Update profile. I immediately get the 98 error...so it's something to do with Sprint programming on these phones that tries to connect their network to update a profile and then fails of course since flashed phones aren't on the Sprint network.
Error 98 DATA FAILURE fixed on my cricket evo by changing the mobile + simple ip to JUST simple ip in qpst service programming in the m.ip tab.

WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!!! :victory:
I rooted and installed CM7 from stock for my Sprint Hero. When ever i make a local call, the phone company has a recording that says I need to enter the area code. Never had to do this before. Any ideas???
Also, will sprint sending me an OTA or reprovision the phone cause any problems with CM7???
FYI - The phone does not say I am roaming.
Thanks!!!

Never heard that one. I am pretty sure that the actual phone/dialer itself (aka radio) is entirely unaffected by a ROM. My guess is something went weird in how you rooted. Could you provide more details, maybe someone will recognize a step you missed or something. Also, if you are on CM7 sprint will not be able to send you anything, since the access they need/you need to do stuff like that is integrated with the sense framework. I would say on that front, either RUU or nand back to stock if you have that and work with sprint to resolve the issue, then reroot/flash etc.
If you dial the area code does it work? I will say that ever since I have had a cell phone I've been 10 digit dialing. I'm sure a lot of things could cause that but I'm not aware of anything rom specific that would cause it. You could try flashing the rom over itself but I would think this would be more than likely something specific to your area. Someone else may have more specific answers regarding reprovisioning but anything sprint could do to your phone specifically remotely would have mostly gone away with rooting and installing a custom rom. I could be wrong on that part but they certainly lose some ability to update a phone or we'd all still be stock.
~maybe I set it too high...
I am happily using liquid smooth but wanted to test a few things on stock. when i deploy stock i get stuck on the activating the connection part. I let it sit for about 15 minutes and still nothing. i can restore my nandroid and connect again just fine.
I am new to sprint so i don't really know the ins and outs.
Thoughts?
Also I can only get 3g when I had 4g with this room earlier. Do I need to call sprint?

Have you used the Sprint fix zip for custom Roms? If not, search around for it. That might help. As far as stock hanging up, I've had that happen too. I usually just cancel and retry and it goes through. You can find the data reset dialer code here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2949996
That might help too.
Funny... I'm having a similar problem. I switched to CM Nightlies for about three days. I experienced some instability today, so I decided to go back to stock for a while.
I flashed the newest factory image and re-locked my bootloader. It hangs on "Waiting for activation" or something like that. Nothing I do in settings resolves this.
Going to give it a little time and pray it fixes itself. I really loathe having to call customer service.
I skipped and went to more/cell networks/carrier setting/update Prl/update config and it went through. On stock.
Just an update. I moved my phone to Verizon and got instant 4G.
I just couldn't handle the crap service anymore.
Moved from one evil to one super evil.
