I've done an ESN Swap to a flashed HTC Vogue. The phone has Myn's Android Build in its internal memory. I called Sprint and they input the ESN in the system. Then they asked me to follow some steps including putting in my number the MSID, etc..., however my number has not registered as I can't get into the phone menu to edit the previous owner's number and MSID. I can even see his number listed in the "About Phone: Status" section.
My question is: How can I get around this? I've searched this and other forums and cannot find a solution. If there is a solution, can someone please help me? I'd appreciate some specific details as it's obviously frustrating not able to make calls or use the data since I haven't manually programmed it.
Thanks everyone for their help!

You have to flash to winmo and provision the phone, then flash back.
Thank you for the quick reply, but is there a tutorial that I can find exactly how to do it? My Windows Vista computer won't access my phone's SD Card or internal storage. Thanks again.
Hold the power and camera buttons while restarting, this puts the phone in bootloader mode (four bars). Then plug in the USB cable and run the stock HTC rom.

Ok...
edit removed, see below
try that. download the winmo rom of your choice, put the phone in bootloader (phone+camera+pinhole reset), THEN connect usb and run the ruu on your computer.
Thanks for your help. I'll try this after I get off work and let you know the outcome.
OK, I'm trying to do it right now, but how will this unlocker work if the phone is obviously in Android mode and doesn't have Windows installed? Windows Mobile Device Center does not recognize the phone? Please help.

Put it in bootloader BEFORE connecting it to the pc and see if it shows up in device manager. You probably don't need to do the unlocker part (since it's probably already done.) Just flash a winmo rom and provision the phone, make sure data, calls, etc, work, then flash back to android.
EDIT:
frak, I see why you're confused. see this post, not that other one:

Hi guys,
This is all about developing the Focus S, since we are on our own on this one I thought id start the ball moving but it would be great if others can help, my first target is to try and download as much of the device as possible
Can I promise anything at all? nope
Have I achieved anything yet? well id say 1 step above doing nothing at all, if you can call that progress then yes, there is progress
Is it even possible to do anything? i dunno
Could i brick my device? possibly, i honestly don't know
in short, this is me blindly wondering in the dark with absolutely no direction what so ever!
So what have i done, well, i managed to get the Focus S talking to Qualcomms diagnostic utility, QPST and RevSkills CDMA Workshop
I cant get QXDM to install on Win 8 x64 and im not sure we need that one anyway
it is possible to edit stuff on the phone at a very low level, NOT OS level, it should be possible to download the various images on the phone, but ive yet to have any luck with that, it keeps coming up with "Arm9 fatal error"
ive been able to download and backup various phone settings but this is still outside of the OS#
I can play about with the EFS but there are several folders that i cant get in to yet
So far,both the samsung download mode and the ARM9 (?) download mode IS visible and installes as a com port, but there is no response on that port, i can only get a response within windows when i enable USB diag mode....
i decided not to link to the various tools ive mentioned here, i dont know the legalities of it all so use google, they are all easy to find.
Samsung studio 3 drivers
http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...813082717640_Samsung_USB_Driver_Installer.exe
Install it with compability for windows vista.
Samsung Focus info (note that most of this doesn't work, its for the older focus but some does)

Handy Diagnostic codes
*#7284# - USB Path control (select to change how your phone communicates with your computer)
*#197328640# - The Root Menu (seriously, don't get too cocky, you could bugger up your device)
Samsung USB Download mode
Turn off Device
hold the camera button and the Volume UP
Whilst holding those two push and hold the power button until it vibrates
Samsung Device Hard reset
Turn off Device
hold the camera button and the Volume Down
Whilst holding those two push and hold the power button until it vibrates
Follow on screen instructions
Enable Diagnostic mode and Connect to QPST or other GSM/CDMA software
Download and install the Samsung drivers above
open the diagnostic app and dial code *#7284#
Select Modem,USB Diag
Reboot
When you plug the phone in you should see a COM port install and appear in device manager
load QPST configuration
Click on the Ports Tab then Click add new port
Select your Phone com port
Click OK then select the phone from the list, hit enable
Click on start clients then you can play with a bunch of options
Please note that this is a serious piece of kit, its designed for low level editing, what I mean by that is that it couldn't care less about if it works or not after you finish playing, a couple of other software options to play with are CDMA tools and RevTools both have the potential to paperweight your phone!
NOTE: Zune will not connect and whilst connected to PC you may lose all GSM connectivity whilst connected as well.
Enable FTM (Factory Test Mode)
open Diagnostic app and dial code*#197328640#
select 6 (common)
Select 1 (FTM)
Select 1 (on)
Click return save (it doesn't always persist unless you do)
Hit Back until you back to the main menu then win key to Windows
REBOOT to enable
NOTE: You will lose ability to connect to GSM with this enabled, a reboot is required to enable it after its set and to deactivate it, ive not found a noticeable difference with this on
If im not wrong, WP uses arm v7.
Good luck with this, it would be nice to see a 7.8 ROM on this device before I go buy the ATIV.

yes your right, but that's what it says, it reboots in to some sort of QC download mode, QPST is the waiting for it to talk to it which it doesn't do, it just sits there with this error message.
I have been able to backup the Important bits that make the phone work, and I have access to the EFS, I can change all sorts at a very low level but any time I try and download some of the various "partitions" it reboots to this special download mode. because we don't have any form of ROM I thought the first priority should be to see if we can make a backup of it, outside of MS encrypted zune backup I mean
the software is old so perhaps it doenst work with newer hardware, but then it does with android soooo.....

Hmmm. If this does work. Will it ever work on focus flash/ omnia w? Cuz it got the same spec except different screen sizes

That depends what you mean by work, will the focus flash connect to various diagnostic tools? yes probably, will it be possible to download the ROM? maybe, beyond that I haven't got a clue
starting to run out of ideas, I think either the download mode via QPST is disabled or, and more likely, the driver isn't correct, when it enters the arm9 fatal error screen it is still using same driver, the same driver samsungs download mode uses, but both won't talk to QPST unless I enable diagnostic mode within windows phone OS, the prob with that is that it won't then allow access to the file systemSent from my fake Lumia 900 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
It also have diagnostic tools .

be careful, you can bugger up your device!i will write a more detailed guide later
First things first, you will need to make sure you have the samsung diagnostic tool install
bring up the phone dialer and dial
##634#
you will now see a diagnostic app on your app list, run it and type in
*#7284#that will enable you to change the USB connection mode,select
Modem USB diag
OPTIONAL - Typing in the following code will bring up the diagnostic root menu
#197328640#you can find a full list Here Many of the codes on that list just run functions found in the root menu
Bare in mind that pissing around with some of the things in there will bring about a swift crappy end to your day!
plugging in your your phone at this point will install a Samsung COM driver
next download and install QPST on your computer, run the config part of that, it will ask you to select your phone, you will need to add a com port, it should then list your phone to connect to it
you can then edit the EFS, service/phone settings, download settings
you will need to know your SPC number, mine was already 0000000, there are ways of working out your number if leaving it all at zeros doesnt work.
use the service editor to read the phone settings, it will ask for your SPC, once loaded,you can save those settings to a file, very important ifyou screw something up
Cool, I will try it when I'm free. Hmm what's UR focus s BOOTLOADER, firmware version and diagnostic version ?

as reported in windows phone about screen, note that the Focus S and Omnia 7, has a firmware update that will stop any interop unlocking, i had it installed but it killed my battery life and my phone reception so i took it off, id suspect the bootldt vs will be different between devices, even though they were released at the same time
bootldr 6.5.16.0
firmware 2103.11.10.1 (not the Samsung update that breaks interop)
diagnostic 0923 (not the Samsung update that breaks interop)
Er it's focus, focus s , focus flash/omnia w and omnia 7 that are affected by the freakin update. This is my version from the about info
Firmware: 2424.12.04.1
Bootloader: 6.4.4.0
Diagnostic : 1109
Note : I cant interlop unlock my omnia as Samsung fixed the exploit in the new firmware version
How did u remove the firmware ?

I made a backup before I installed it
I think we can get an xap of my version of the diagnostic tools, but the firmware update also changes drivers an a few other things, those cant be changed, if we could send custom cabs to the device we are laughing, but we cant, to cab send requires the cab to be signed, and the device would need to have that certificate, which cant be put on whilst its all in use
:S don't think so as diagnostic tool is based on firmware I think.

try this, remove your existing diagnostic app and install this xap
How can u install a xap..
Is your device still unlocked? The Samsung update will stop you applying the unlock but if you had it already installed it will still work, if it is unlocked then use an cap deployed, my link to the wee guide details how to do it, if it's interop unlocked but you can't install an xap deplorer the use the xap deplorer included with the WP SDK
Sent from my Lumia 900 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
it's ok. I will just wait for someone to be able to unlock the device as I already got the exploit for interlop unlock patched

well there isn't anyone working on unlocking it as far as I know, so if its going to happen then we need to do it ourselves.
Ive exhausted just about every avenue I can think of getting access to the device, ive been able to dump parts of the RAM but still not the ROM,
EFS is writable but I cant get in to the secure folders. The only way I can think of for getting the ROM is to get it working in one of the two download modes, both will not talk to anything tho, perhaps if I had the commands to copy the ROM I could just send them in the hope it will reply but it sure as hell isn't saying anything to the commands I have sent.
Hmmm. Must there be a exploit? Zzz there's are very little/no hackers having a focus s or a focus flash/omnia w. they all have 1st gen devices I think.

Here is alray's procedure we will use. After you get adb & fastboot installed with the phone connected type the following in a cmd window:
Code:
fastboot getar all
. Post it here except for imei and serialno then we can find a ROM or RUU to flash to get you back to stock.

The HTC Sync manager insisted that there was an upgrade available for my Verzion Wireless HTC One M7. So, being the good girl I am, I attached my phone to the computer to do it. It never completed, and is now stuck in a reboot cycle. I have attempted a hard reset, reset to factory, and such, to no avail. Attached are pictures from another phone of the error messages on my screen. I don't know what to do here, and because of the nature of the problem, I do not know which of the gazillion solutions online is the one I need. I have a computer operating Windows 7 to use to fix the phone. What I need to know is if the problem can be solved, and how to do it.

My phone was not rooted or fit with a custom rom, just stock from HTC and Verizon Wireless.

Hi!
I have a Moto X 2013 from Verizon. I am planning on sending it in for a replacement via Motorola. Since they give you a brand new phone, you lose all your data from it.
I have tried for ages trying to find ways on the internet.
Before I do this, I want to know for 100% fact that there is no way to backup my phone.
Key "fact thingies"
-Cannot enable ADB Debugging (There is a password on my phone)
-CAN ACCESS FASTBOOT (Verified by checking fastboot terminal)
-Buttons work fine.
Any help will be highly appreciated, and, if you can help me get my data backed up, I will reward you with the Steam game of your choice (Up to $15)

Which data your want to backup, Photos, other files, app data?
What version of Android you run?

Okay, here goes.
My bootloader is locked (unfortunantely), I'd like to back up user created files, so music, pictures, videos, and the folders containing them, It has 4.4.4 rooted, and the password is, well, a regular password.

You can give it a try with a OTG adapter and USB keyboard attached, this way you can probably unlock the device, but you`ll need some blind navigation with the keyboard after that so you can reach the settings
Today or tomorrow when I got the time I`ll play a bit with that and I`ll see if I can help you.

I've played a while today with a keyboard and I can do everything, except to unlock the phone, the unlock ring itself cannot be operated with keyboard. Password input is okay, so it's navigation to Developer Options and enabling USB debugging is also doable..
There is an option to plug mouse first, try to jiggle with it and unlock the ring, since this is the only of few things you can do when your have password, then connect the keyboard, input your password and proceed.
After that there will be one more obstacle, which is to authorize you pc to access debugging, but this can be done with keyboard too, since it's a pop-up.
hm, not the easiest task, since your BL is locked,you cant install CWM, otherwise you could remove the pw with the aroma file manager out of CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2225695

And have you looked into this?: http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...ce-as-have-no-internet-connection/35848#35848
Another way would be removing the lock via cerberus, but this would require installing cerberus 1st on your phone and if your phone is locked but rooted but you cant access the phone directly or via adb then there isn't much you can do cause you have to access the phone somehow, either directly or via terminal / PC
