I recently bought and activated an EVO so I'm preparing my Hero to put on ebay. I flashed the RUU to return to unrooted stock, everything went well but it still lists my current username in 'network' as well as my phone number in 'phone identity'. I did a factory reset to be sure and they're still there. Last week I called Sprint to make sure the ESN was clean and the lady said yes.
Any ideas?
anyone?

Thats because that phone was still activated by you and that is information that we can't readily remove. It would have to be removed by sprint at the store or when the new person activates it their information will over write it.
Doing a factory wipe/reset in your recovery and running an RUU never erases those items otherwise you would have been needing to input that data every time you did it.
Call Sprint and ask for your MSL code. Or have them transfer you to an actual tech. The tech's will walk you through it how to clear out the network and phone # info.
I had to call for my last 2 phones for my MSL to truly clear ALL of my info out.
Or
Root your phone
Install/run the MSL Reader app from the market
Write your MSL number down
Dial ##3282#, wait a bit for the menu to pop-up
Select "Edit"
Enter your MSL
Remove your network info
RUU your phone to remove root
EDIT: just ran into this, you can try this for your MSL, also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=689470
ah thanks for that, very straight forward instructions

At first I opened thread a thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4468480) regarding not getting prompt for a sim unlock code using a gophone sim. I got around that by trying another (international) sim I had laying around, so was able to then use an unlock code to unlock my phone.
At this point, though, I am still stuck, as I am not able to connect to the AT&T network using a gophone sim.
sim works fine in a different phone
The ROMS I have used:
"The HTC ADP 1.5 CRC1 ROM" from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538456
cyanogenmod 4.0.4
To note, no APNs show under settings>wireless controls>Mobile Networks>Network>Access point names when I put non-tmobile sims in. When I add one, it still does not show up on the list. I have also tried clearing the data partition and tried setting up an APN during the setup procedure - no dice - the APN I just edited and saved does not show up.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
I can say I don't got any, other than it don't like your go phone, I am afraid that if you get it working at this point, it might go kaboom in spite.
Those g1s are some finiky creatures, beware they attack if startled
FIXED!!!!
I dont know if this is new for gophone or anything .... but apparently "new" gophone accounts are tied to the IMEI number that you first start your account with. At least this is what they told me when I called into the gophone service center.
Anyway... I worked with a tech who seemed quite knowledgeable. I convinced her to change to IMEI number linked to my account and change it to the G1's IMEI (to note - I honestly answered every question asked of me, such as the phone being an unlocked G1 I bought on ebay). At first it did not take - I waited an hour to see if maybe it was something that just needed to propagate thorough AT&T's network. The tech called me back. Because it did not work, she changed it back to the original phone on the account. I then asked her to please change it back to the G1's IMEI and please just leave it - I would wait a day to see if that helped any. She changed it back to the G1's IMEI and then I told her I would continue to play with the phone. Right after our call ended, my phone all of a sudden connected to AT&T's network.
I hope that this helps someone out. I know that I am happy as I can finally get playing around with this thing.
Thanks to those who offered advise.
Hey I'm having a very similar problem with my Dell Streak 5 and my GoPhone SIM card, I've even gone through the IMEI process with support from AT&T and I guess they successfully changed the IMEI linked to my SIM card to that of my new Dell Streak 5 but it's been 4+ hours and it's hasn't been "updated" in their system. Though the IMEI is now correctly linked to my Dell Streak 5 I still get no service and cannot connect to any network. I'm stumped!
Ok, I've tried my best to figure this out on my own and now I need some help.
Had my CDMA Hero flashed to Cricket a few weeks ago on talk and text. Just found out that I can get Sprint service, so I want to activate on Sprint instead of Cricket.
Here's what I've tried so far...
1. Latest RUU (1.56) installed successfully. Data in ##3282# seems to have stayed the same.
2. Manually changed my MSID and MDN to the correct Sprint settings given to me by tech support. Still won't activate or Update Profile.
3. Executed ##786#. Still won't activate or Update.
4. Reset User Name in ##3282# and committed. Still won't activate.
5. Called and double checked that my ESN is free and clear. It is. Tried all above procedures, still no luck.
6. Wiped Dalvik, and caches through Recovery 1.5.2. Also wiped phone through the white screen boot up procedure with the volume key. Still no luck.
From what I've been told by tech support, if none of these things gets my phone to activate on Sprint, then I need to get my phone flashed back to Sprint since it's currently flashed to Cricket.
Can anyone give me any advice? Is anyone else on Sprint, maybe even in the Eastern NC area, who wouldn't mind giving me some edittable settings from ##3282# or other things to check?
Getting a little frustrated but not giving up yet. I can't afford or have the time to wait until I can afford to take this phone somewhere and get someone else to do it for me. If anyone can help me out, I'll be happy to write a fully detailed guide on this whole thing for anyone else who has this problem in the future!!
Another bit of info. I just tried flashing the RUU again, since my phone wouldn't even boot on the last ##786# I tried. To get it ready to use RUU again, I loaded my Fresh 1.1 nandroid, ran rhe RUU again, and now there's a change.
My passwords for ##3282#, etc. are no longer "000000", and they're back to the default "190320". Does this mean that I'm no longer unlocked? Am I making progress now?
Grr.
LMAO man... I was in the same position as you ... but I was in Metropcs...so first of all to flash it to metropcs I went to a store called WirelessToyz and they did it for me, I got tired of metropc's slowness and I wanted to go to Sprint, so I had a hard time doing it until I went back to WirelessToyz and they flashed it back to sprint, even tough you flash the RUU that does not make it run on Sprint , when they "flash it" they do something else, long story short go to wherever you did that and flash it back to sprint, you might need to pay money.
So, I'm working on my friends hero and he was unable to activate it because he boutght it used. The old account holder had a suspended account and sprint told him that they cannot activate it until he pays his bill.. so doing some work, I was able to get his calls\texts to works, but still no data, yes he has a data plan but the phone keeps getting error 67, could anyone tell me how to get his data to work correctly.
And could anyone give me the settings set in ##778#? Also ##3282# I do not need your esn info and username info,
Thanks, any help and advice is appreciated.

Hey man, I had that same error when I swapped phones with a friend. I called sprint and they had me enter one of those codes (can't remember which one), enter msl when it asks<press menu<edit<profile<press menu<then restore. I don't have my phone with me here at work so i'm just going off the top of my head but hopefully it helps. Just in one of those codes try to find where you can restore the profile and that worked for me.
Well I can't call sprint because I had to do an e$n change to his old lg rant.. but do to legal issues, I cannot discuss that on these forums..
after i got my droid about a year ago, all i wanted to do was root it. I didnt read enuf about it and the effects of messing up, which i did and "bricked my phone".....so what happened, I was using an RSD lite method....very dumb and unplugged the phone to early (of course messing it up). Finally got it to boot back up and when i had to make the call to re-activate it my service was through U.S. Cellular!?! Took it to verizon, they said that was weird and tried to re flash it with their stock system...didnt work, they called their tech support still couldnt get it fixed. They sent me a warranty phone and didnt want or take the old phone back. It works just fine and i use it as my "test" phone. It is still on U.S. cellular service though. Dont eally need it activated but if anyone knows how, i would love to know??

you could try flashing the 2.2 sbf on it via rsdlite, since its not bricked, or you could flash a verizon radio via recovery after rooting it. Flashing a verizon radio on it should reconfigure it to verizon's settings. Feel free to pm me to further discuss this.
edit: usually when they send you a warranty phone they want you to send the phone back within 10days to avoid being charged for it
Go into recovery, and there is an option to wipe the radio data (i forget what it actually says) Try that. You might have just messed one of the parts of the radio by a small amount.

where do you see that option? its not in clockworkmod recovery. under the advanced tab there are choices to wipe dalvik battery stats and report error of the recovery but that is all. also an option to record key gpio values.

Enter SPC Passcode: ______ displays, tap in white box to show virtual keyboard, enter 6 digit code (default: 000000), tap Verify
Step 03:
Tap User Activation
Step 04:
Tap in MIN box, delete existing information (tap at end of existing digits and use DEL), enter 10 digit phone number
Step 05:
Tap in MDN, delete existing information, enter 10 digit phone number
Step 06:
Tap in CDMA Sys ID box, enter SID (for that you have to let me know where you live)
Step 07:
Press Done to save information and return to User Activation menu

To make a long story short, I recently purchased a used HTC Hero (sprint). After purchasing I played with the phone for a day or two to see what it can do (my first android phone, after being a Windows phone user) and in the process noticed that my esn was correct but my meid was all zeroes.
Now to skip thru all of the unnecessary stuff, I've been trying to change the meid back to what it should be, the number shown on the sticker below the battery. I've read every guide I can find on the internet. I've googled a hundred different times, I've done everything I can think of but I can't get qxdm to allow me to write the meid to the phone! After I zero out all esn locations, I attempt to write my meid. Everytime I get the same answer: Error response received from target.
Let me recap... I've tried downgrading the radio to stock (and tried other radios as well), downgrading to android 1.5, it's been rooted, I've scanned and scanned and scanned in cdma workshop to be sure I have all esn locations, with airplane mode on and off, I've done memory dumps then went thru them with a hex editor to be sure I haven't missed any esn locations, etc, etc.
After more than a week of trying to get this phone usable again, I don't know what to try next. I've reached the end of my known options with this phone, and could really use some help!!!
did you ever figure out the problem?
No, not yet. This seems to be a nearly dead topic around here, but hopefully someone can help me out.
I might have something that could work for you. Pm me if you want to give it a shot.

budgreen did you send spc/msl before using the meid write command? example: spc 000000 (your msl/spc)
and please keep us updated if you get it fixed, hopefully between myself and laie1472 we can get you back up and running
message me if you need any more help
