That is weird, it should not pop up EVERY time you reboot.
Really weird
I don't know what it is used to...
It comes out every time reboot/switch on the phone , I click OK and disappeared ...
Now I am s-off, root, bootloader unlock and viper Rom 1.1
On other HTC phones I find you have to delete some files in system/app

reboot
##778# and enter msl
need to go to a menu "?????? modem" and it is written somewhere sprint only change to the auto and press the top menu and press commit modifications,
then reboot
(can be enough to change the modem, if not then change the "MIP Costumer Profile1")
##778# and enter msl
"MIP Costumer Profile1" on "AAA Shared Secret" write 466_1 and top press menu and press commit modifications
then reboot,
Automatically hfa - updated profile and PRL will go to automatically reboot will reset and all .....
Without sim sprint (enable cdma only and internet on wifi)profile and PRL updated as well.

Hello to you all
So after 1 week of flashing / reading posts / and fighting with my wife ....i gave up and this time is for good!!!
i cant find a solution Aldo i tried everything.
I am sure that if you are here for the last few days you Encountered 1 of my post.
So right now i'm in the point i am willing to pay a lot for an expert that willing to take me as a project and help me figure out what is wrong.
So this is the situation i'm in and what i need :
1. I got 1 week ago an Sprint HTC One with 4.2 firmware.
2. Because i'm an ex IOS user i just went and made an OTA update to 4.3 (My biggest mistake)
3. I found out that the device is SimLock and the guy i got the phone from can't unlock it in Sprint (i'm not from the US)
4. After a long search i found out that there's a tool and a way to remove the Simlock (HtcOMADM way)
5. I have tried to do it but i figure out that this tool will not work with 4.3 because they changed the HtcOMADM method or something , i even try to swap the files from 4.2 to 4.3 but it was no-go
6. So the next step for me was to downgrade to 4.2 to run the Simlock tool.
7. when i flashed 4.2 rom i found out that the touchscreen is not working - after i looked at some post i understood that this is a known issue.
8. I have looked for a solution and found the right firmware to flash to make the touchscreen work after downgrading but....
9. To flash the touchscreen firmware i need to be S-Off and i'm On Hboot 1.55
10. i have tried to use the Revone method but i found out that it is not working on 4.3 with hboot 4.3
So all of this is just for making the phone simlock remove so i can use the phone
As i said i'm Willing to pay for some help and for the time of an expert that can help me.

many thanks

As far as I know sprint never realease a 4.2 firmware so u might want to check the model via hboot. The answer is in number 5. When replacing how did u do it? The proper way besides a flash zip would be to load up a file explorer with root capability then going to the new file and deleteing it and then pasting the new file and also giving it the same permissions as the adjacent file. After all that all u need to do is reboot and rety the SIM unlock. For unlocking I recommend using vipers SIM unlock tool

No need to downgrade your system(if you can't get the screen to work just flash a Sense 4.3 ROM like OMJ's)
I made this even easier for you, I'm attaching HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk from a 4.1.2 ROM. Just use some app like root explorer and remove the one you have in /system/app and replace it with this one. Set the permissions to rw-r-r and reboot. Than install the Sprint HTC One SIM unlock helper and follow the instructions.

Hello
How are you?
Again I can only say thanks for your help.
So:
Before I'm telling you the process I did I need to ask something important , before I press "Run" in the "Sprint HtcOne simlock" application , do I need to insert the Sprint Sim Card inside the phone? Because all week when I tried to run the application there's no sim inside the phone.
And now for the process I did :
1. I flashed the EclipticOne-4.3-v2 rom that I know it's a sense rom.
2. I installed "root browser" and "terminal Emulator" and ""root browser" and "Sim Unlock Helper" applications.
3. I deleted the "HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk" file from /System/app with "root browser" app.
4. I have copied the new "HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk" file you sent me to /System/app with "root browser" app.
5. I used "root browser" to give it permissions rw-r--r--
6. Reboot the phone.
7. Run the "Sim Unlock Helper" app and pressed "Run"
8. It got the root permission and nothing happens and no menu open up.
So I'm guessing something is wrong.
Keep the SIM in the phone

I followed these steps exactly and came up with the same problem. Even with the sim in. Help?
Why not just run the unlocker without the extra steps per vipers instructions?

It worked for me..great superb and thanks to elvisypi
This is what I did:
1) Unlocked the boot loader
2) Installed TWRP (2.6.3) for sprint latest as the old ones wont work.
3) Rooted , updated SU.
4) Took a backup of my stock Rom
5) Installed Elegenica Rom V18.0 as it supports sprint too
6) Installed Root explorer
7) granted permission under SU
8) copied the same file to system/app
9) Installed Android terminal emulator instead of sprint unlock helper
10) check the file as it sometime shows copied but do check the size.
11) open android emulator and entered:
>su
>am start com.redbend.vdmc/com.htc.omadm.test.TestMainActivity
on the first attempt it didnt open anything so tried copying the file again to system/app
2nd attempt it opened the API window, went to sim lock option clicked on it and then i shutdown the phone
Inserted the GSM SIM card , restarted the phone, it automatically took GSM/UTMS mode.
again to recheck you can use *#*#4636#*#*
and select WCDMA preferred.
All works fine with GPRS too.
Have fun

Unlocked My HTC ONE Max via a couple of steps
Hey if you guys have a HTC One max, some of the Instructions are a bit the same as the HTC One. I have made a post here on how to do it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2608910
Please DO NOT QUOTE this post in your reply. Just post your questions or comments if you have any. I DON'T CHECK OR RESPOND TO PM'S.
Proof of Concept:
Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4's & Note 3's that have been flashed to Sprint legacy accounts such as SERO or Sprint MVNO's such as Boost, Virgin Mobile, Ting, etc. suffer from the fact that you can't launch Update Profile / Update PRL unless the phone has been previously activated in a Sprint LTE account. If the phone has been factory reset using ##786#, the user will also lose the ability to run Update Profile/PRL. As a side effect, you will also get a Hands Free Activation nag each time you turn on/reboot your phone. Disabling/freezing certain apk's to fix the HFA nag unfortunately breaks the phone's ability to run Update Profile & PRL as well. The fix below gets rid of the HFA nag and enables Update Profile & PRL on flashed Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 & Note 3 phones.

What good is running Update Profile anyway?
1) This will automatically correct your MDN and MIN settings on your phone if they were flashed incorrectly.
2) This will automatically correct the Profile 1 (or Profile 2) username and AAA key to get your 3G working.
This fix assumes the following:
1) You have a rooted phone. I've only tested on a TouchWiz-based rooted ROM (Sacs Custom ROM based on Android 4.3 on the S4 and stock rooted 4.3 on the Note 3). Post #44 reports that this doesn't work on Android 4.4.2.
2) You have access to another Sprint Galaxy S4 or Note 3 in which Update Profile/PRL already works. Let's call this phone "SOURCE". In theory once you have the appropriate files from "SOURCE", you can use these same files over and over.
3) You're looking to get Update Profile/PRL to work on another phone that is already flashed to Sprint (or Sprint MVNO). This will not work for any other provider! Let's call this phone "TARGET".
4) You have a spare microSD card to transfer files between "SOURCE" and "TARGET" phones.
5) You have flashed your "TARGET" phone's MDN and MIN using DFS, CDMA Workshop, etc.
6) You have flashed your "TARGET" phone's Profile 0 and Profile 1 using DFS, CDMA Workshop, etc.
7) Profile 0 must be accurately flashed. Profile 1's username can be flashed using a bogus value such as "[email protected]" if you do not know the actual username.
8) If you removed/disabled/froze system apk's / apps in your phone to get rid of the Hands Free Activation nag previously, make sure you put these back in their original state.
9) You have the ability to reflash your S4 or Note 3 back to Boost, Ting, Virgin Mobile, etc. in case your flash gets wiped out cuz you didn't follow the directions closely.
Steps to fix Update Profile / Update PRL: (idea is to copy SOURCE phone's /carrier directory to TARGET phone)
1) Use a root-enabled file explorer app such as Root Explorer or ES File Explorer to backup the /carrier directory from your "TARGET" phone to a microSD card.
2) Rename this /carrier folder in the microSD card to something like /carrierBackup.
3) Use the file explorer app to copy the /carrier directory from your "SOURCE" phone to the microSD card as well. Insert this microSD card to your "TARGET" phone.
4) Copy the contents of /carrier directory from microSD card to your "TARGET" phone. Overwrite the files that may already exist in your "TARGET" phone's /carrier directory.
5) Reboot the "TARGET" phone.
6) Run "Update Profile" or "Update PRL".
7) Done.
OR...Instead of doing steps 3 and 4, simply use ES File Explorer to unzip contents of attached carrier-GS4.zip OR carrier-Note3.zip file in /carrier so that the files/folders would look like the attached screen shots.
Pay attention to the content in the screenshots as well as file/folder permissions to make sure they match!
WARNING: DO NOT USE WINDOWS TO COPY/EXTRACT FILES TO/FROM PHONE. IT WILL OMIT THE HIDDEN FILE CHAMELEON.HASH. YOUR BOOST/TING/VIRGIN MOBILE/ETC FLASH WILL GET WIPED OUT IF THE CONTENTS OF YOUR /CARRIER FOLDER DON'T MATCH THE SCREENSHOTS BELOW.
Reboot the phone and perform an Update Profile.
The screen shots attached are contents of /carrier folder of "SOURCE" Sprint Galaxy S4 phone.
Give it a try and let me know if it worked for you and what phone(s) you used.

You're the man. I've been looking for a Note 3 HFA loop fix. Figured since the carrier partition got corrupted on the Sprint Note 2 phones that it'd be doing the same on the Note 3.
Is there any chance of posting a zip with the carrier partition/folder? Or is there sensitive information in there?

I believe there are a couple or so sensitive info in the properties.db when I took a look at it using SQL Lite. I'll see if I can change the values a bit to make it more generic. I'm thinking though that the .chameleon.hash is an MD5 hash of the entire contents of /carrier. If a file is changed manually, the hash won't match and it won't work. In fact to see if this is the case, I put a different .chameleon.hash yesterday just to play around with it. After I rebooted the phone, MDN, MIN, and Profile 1 got wiped out and I had to reflash the phone again. The /carrier folder also got reverted back as if you did a ##786# on the phone.
I just attached carrier.zip in the first post. Enjoy.
Unzip contents of zip file in /carrier so that the files/folders would look like the attached screen shots in the first post.
Please give it a try and let me know if it works for you.

Thanks so much for uploading the carrier zip. You saved my phone! It mostly worked, in that after ##72786# and then entering my mdn and msid I was able to finally get my s4 on boost to update my prl and profile. However, it is still trying to do the hfa and has not completed that. And every time I reboot it tries to activate. Also, I now have data back, but only 1x. When I was on the phone with Boost last night they said there might be some problems in my area, so all of the remaining issues might be due to that. I will post an update if/when something changes.
In any case, thank you so much for saving my phone!

You must do assumptions #5 thru #7 before applying the fix. I ran into HFA if I didn't do those steps. Manually entering MDN and MIN via ##phone's MSL# didn't work for me. Had to flash it. Same with Profile 0 and 1. Used DFS.
BTW, Update Profile works via WiFi I believe. So connect your phone to WiFi to test. This way you're not dependent on the strength of Sprint signal wherever you are.
For those who got it working,which phone(s) did you get it to work? I'd like to take a survey so I can update the original post.

Somehow I haven't encountered a problem on the S4 phones. Have you tried filling in the MDN and MIN in DFS after repairing the MEID? That ALWAYS fixes it for me. I've only had an issue on the Note 3. Figures...seeing as how the Note 2 has the exact same issue.

I'm on Sprint Samsung Note 3 model SM-N900P, Flashed to Boost Mobile.
I replaced the folder. The HFA went away. The Update Profile and Update PRL button is active again, but when trying to do an update, I get:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error
The PRL update could not be completed. Please try again later.
If the problem persists, you may need to contact Customer Service.
Error: Connection Error (6621)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried both under Wifi only and 3G only, without any luck, same error.
ALSO: Don't put your /carrier folder elsewhere. Not the microsd card. For some reason, after a reboost. The one I copied from the /carrier out automatically got erased from the microsd. It's like I never made a backup. Thanx god it didn't brick.
Update PRL didn't work... How about Update Profile?
You can zip your original /carrier folder for backup purposes. Not sure why your /carrier folder you copied in SD card would get wiped out. I put mine in a sub folder in external SD card (not internal SD card) ... something like /ROM/carrier.
Anyone else have issues with update PRL?

Same thing, Update Profile also didnt work.
It work in a sense that it popped up and tried to connect to the network. But then it say the exact error as mentioned above.

Let's wait until another Sprint Note 3 user provide feedback. I don't have a Sprint Note 3 to test.
In the meantime, try reflashing your MDN, MIN, and Profile 1 as described in the steps in post #1. Reboot the phone and try the update again.
Thanks.

AlpineMan,
You said you have a fix for the NO SIM situation too?
I got 8 Sprint Note 3 to play around with. 3 of them have no problem with NO SIM situation. The other 5 keep erroring out the SIM and the NO SIM would pop up
Look in my flashing thread. No SIM fix is in the FAQ.

I have rooted and installed SU. I have tried Helium to backup the app on my old S3 then install the app on my new S5. It wont register that way. I tried Device spoofer to make it look like an S3 and it still wont register. I found an older thread where the guy said it worked with both above mentioned methods on his Note 3. But they dont seem to work on the S5. Anybody have any other ideas? Is the network possibly seeing the S5 sim card and simply going NOPE not happening or does it read the device info instead? If it is the sim maybe they can reactivate my S3 sim and maybe I can get it working that way?
Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.

Try using Titanium Backup and doing the exact same thing; back up the app on your S3 to your SD card, move the card to your S5, restore the app. Should work fine. I've never worked with Helium.

I will give that a try. It seems like helium backs everything up except for the registration data and the network even when i spoof it still knows it is an S5. They told me at the store they expect eptt to be updated to work with the S5 soon but how long is "soon"? A week or two is no big deal but any longer becomes a real issue. I use it all the time. Luckily I have a paid subscription to titanium so when i get home I will give her a whirl and see what happens.
Same issue. It tries to activate on the network and it wont allow it.
You have to fix your sd permissions use this app.

Ok guys here is the way to do it if anybody else ever runs into this situation. Device spoofer does work but it makes everything on the screen super small and after you activate EPTT and get it up and working then switch back to the stock profile it then stops working again.
In order to get the EPTT app to work on all non supported ATT android phones you must change the phones model number. I followed this tutorial and it worked perfectly. You must be rooted.

"Requirements:- A rooted Android device, Root explorer & patience
So let's Start..!! Video Tutorial
1. Start the Root Explorer app.
2. Go to System folder its in the root if the device
3. Make sure that System is in Read/Write from the top right
corner.
4. Look for a file named
build.prop in system folder.
5. Long press it for Options and then choose Text editor.
7. Search the line as followed ro.product.model= and then change the text after = sign to whatever you like your Model number to be displayed.
8. Press back and hit Save.
9. Exit the app and Reboot or simply Power off and on it.
That's it...its done now check the edited name in Settings>About phone> Model number
To get back to the original:- Just delete the build.prop and rename the build.prop.bak again to build.prop and reboot "
I changed mine to an S4 which is supported. The registration network looks for the Model number to verify it is being used on a supported device. Simply change it to the name of a supported device and waaa laaaa working EPTT.
As you can see by the icon at the top left I am signed in to EPTT and it does work great on the S5.
I know very few use this but for those that do and want a newer phone then here is your 100% working answer if you are willing to root your phone.
1. Download Apn Editor attached below and give it root permission when it requests it during process.
2. Backup your APN settings to storage.
3. Download SQLite Prime and start the app. Click on Open existing database and pick your saved apn db file from the apnsbu folder on storage. Edit all areas where Your carrier is listed as having default,mms. For Virgin Mobile the apn settings are on page 2 of the database at lines 36 and 37. Click on line 36 and scroll down to "type" and change it from default,mms to default,mms,dun. Save it. Now back out to do line 37 and repeat step above. You can now exit Sqlite Prime.
4. Now open APNsBU app and restore your apn file. It will want to reboot. Let it. Upon reboot go to Settings,Hotspot Tethering and turn on the Hotspot. That's it. You can configure Name and password before or after turning on Hotspot.
Note: You will need to reapply this method if you decide to reflash your rom,try out another rom or update your prl/profile. This method requires root and survives reboots. I do not suggest taking ANY carrier firmware updates.
