Un-MetroPCS an Evo 3d? - HTC EVO 3D

Went through activation with an Evo 3D on my Sprint account, but WILL NOT activate OTA even though the account shows it and everything, perfectly clean ESN. Problem is, previous owner had it flashed to MetroPCS...it's showing S-ON, have completely recovered with RUU and was successful, but it STILL will not register OTA onto the Sprint account. Any suggestions?

i think you find your msl then type in ##786# then menu reset all

Try this And see if it helps

However, after hitting write to phone, mine automatically restarts. Dunno if that was supposed to happen. When I try and make calls I get "TSL 02 the number or service code you are attempting is not available or accessible from your calling plan" and then the call is ended.
Did I do something wrong? I went into the metro PCS store and asked about putting my ESN in the database and they looked at my like I was speaking latin. So I asked about metroflash and they said they don't do that to this phone. Any ideas or help is greatly appreciated. Verizon was taking too long for the nexus galaxy and I really don't want to sign another contract...
I did flash the metro 3022.prl

just whited it out for pics.
If metropcs isn't used anymore, what do I put?
And thats the thing, I went to a authorized dealer and asked for metroflash, they said they cannot do my phone. So I asked them just to add my esn to the database and I'll do the hard work. and they looked at me like they didn't know what I was talking about...

Unfortunately no, I see it does replace a framework, but that isn't even part of thr problem I am having. When I asked about metroflash at the authorized dealer they didn't really have a clue was I was talking about. But I'm going to the corporate store today to get the metroflash done. Should still work right?

Just got back from 7 metro PCS stores including a corperate one, appears they refuse to add my ESN into the system, or even add a line for this phone. They will NOT metroflash it.
And apparently "All these kids are learning to unlock their phones and they want to add them to our network"
I have the $50/m plan that is required for smart phones. I searched metro pcs esn on craigslist nothing came back. I now have NO idea how to get this phone to work...
EDIT: I just tried doing *611 on my 3vo after "flashing" it to metropcs and it takes me to sprint's customer service. does that mean I did it wrong?
Just go to a dealer store. Most corporate stores stores dont wanna do smartphones(some will). But if you go to a dealer store they will houdini your phone. Which is where they write an esn from a phone in their inventory to your phone to get it into the network.When they flash it it will do the prl part for you. And if you already have the data provisioned everything will work from the time they flash it.
Reflasing on Sprint Data not working
Sorry not to hijack the thread but I think someone here might have the expertise to help me with the issue. I have a evo 3d that was flashed to Metro. I wanted to flash it back to Sprint, I cleaned the esn. Voice and txt works but data does not. I keep getting error code 67. upon more research i found out that i needed to copy NAI and AAA and HA secrets. Which I made sure were correct. However, I still keep getting error 67. Can anyone help me on how to get 3g data working? thanks in advance.
So are you trying to set up for metro or sprint?

trying to set up on sprint...
after fixing the clean esn and meid, my voice and sms worked fine...
data not working not even 1x. copied over the profile 0 and profile 1, including AAA and HA secrets but still does not work. When i tried hands free activation, i keep getting error 67 and profiles are wiped out.
Yea that error is because your not connecting to data. I know sprint you can zero out the ha and AAA. Where you used to have your metro msl code that needs to be replaced with your meid hex. Your gonna also need to make sure your sid/nid are those for Sprint. I do now know those off hand. One thing you can try to get those settings back is flashing a new radio it will contain the nv items you need for those spots.

That's what I thought I did, The in Evo 3d, using QXDM, i set addresses 465, 466, 1192, 1194. one of the user id was my [email protected] and another one was [email protected]
AAA was 'secret' and HA secret, i copied over from the old working phone.
Just to try I also did, ##SPC# (SPC= my spc code) and reset my data, after it rebooted the phone it tried doing hands free activation but it would error out again...
i feel like i am so close yet little further from working outcome..
Yea I'm not familiar enough with sprint settings try asking some of the people in the boost flashing threads they will know all the sprint settings. You have a sprint prl right? Not one of the hybrid ones to roam with vzw

Yeah I have the Sprint prl 21081 and PRI 1.24_003
It is not the latest PRL, but should it even matter which version i have? i thought PRL was only for roaming settings?
That will make all the difference when it cones to calling customer service if you have a metro prl it will call metro Ect. Ect. But sounds like you got that. There's threads on flashing back to sprint do an advanced search here and if its not here its on android forums it might be for EVO 4g but settings are the same on 3d

Only 1 metro store within 20 miles will flash my phone.
And they charge $63! I could just buy houdini master key for 50!
They also said that they have never successfully flashed a EVO 4G...
Can some1 sorta explainthe process of flashing to metro i had my Evo flashed by a guy that im sure knows what he is doing and everything went smooth. Now my sis and bro both got themselves Evos but this dude keeps on givin the run around and switching up the prices one phone was already being used w. Metro when bought but he insists that it needs to be "reflashed" (since its been on metro b4 wouldnt he just have to activate it to the existing acct?) the other has never been flashed. what im mostly wondering is, besides adding the esn into metro network is there anything else that MUST be done by a metro dealer? Is this thread for actual flashing or for provisioning like bloody's guide?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You won't find any guides that truly show how to flash. Technically all the guides here do show you how to flash them. But metro is using a differnt method to flash now. So its not as simple as giving them your esn to have it added. They write an esn from a metro branded phone to yours. As far as the one that was flashed already all you need to do is call metro from it. Then provision the data from bloody or jds guide in order to get web and mms.

i nevered seen this little guide right here... haha....
what happens is this,
msid 9412333323 or 9412340237 or 7272271341
u can use this number i think, any metro msid number near u. i had these saved, from my new evo, and old touchpro,
u have to use a metro number for it to connect or something...
I did both of the following steps..
I did bloodys provision and at the same time i looked for the msid num.
in qpst u need to go through all the pages, i think i found the old number in 2 or 3 spots... if its a number change..
in DFS...
MIN A = USE ur 10 digit phone number,
MIN D = USE the msid number,
add any metropcs prl and u should connect to metro before any flash, change ur number or whatever...
i manually flash my 2 evos, but the 1st metroflash to add the esn, the internet and mms worked out the door,
The second in ebay 45 to add the esn, then I dialed *228 and it worked..worked on the first shot,,, after it was added.. it was activated with my acct.. yeah..
edit: 12-23
##3282# under ADVANCED u will see MSID

No Data Connection!

Hello all! I am need of assistance, I recently traded my black rooted s-off lte for a white unrooted ota having beast. After letting Sprint do their thing we weren't able to successfully have data on his phone. I have walked the guy through nandroiding back into a ROM I had and he updated the PRL successfully but, had an issue connecting still. He tried updating the Profile with no luck. Here is a little info:
BASEBAND:1.05.11.06.06
PRL VERSION: 25006
S-OFF
Stock w/Goodies 2.10 is the Sense ROM he is using.
what are my options?
call sprint and have them as they say "refresh" your services. had the same problem last weekend. you could try a ##72786# and reset it and let it go through the hands free activation and see if they will fix it.

I tried that too.Currently on the phone with Sprint now. So the phone being rooted has nothing to do with it not updating correct?

nope, i think there system was having problems the night i was on with them. my phone would go through the hand free just fine but on there end it was saying it still wasnt completed. they ended up having to "push" so they say to my phone and it finally showed completed on there end. i had my data back as soon as he said it showed complete on his end.
i did all this rooted on tranquility rom.
Thanks for being helpful.

Still no luck I was given the advice to update the radios. Would this fix my issue? Whats Sprints stance on it being rooted. I know my warranty is
void but will they still try to fix it?
do the##3282# go to edit then put the msl....select data profile....active profile put a 1 press menu select commit modifications....the do the##72786# that should work...if it didn't work try updating your profile over WiFi
HTC EVO LTE

[Q] MeanROM 4.6 Stuck on Verizon Roaming

For some reason, after flashing 4.6, my EVO LTE has decided that when it's in Sprint Only mode, I get no service, when it's in Automatic, I get Verizon 3G, and when it's Roam Only, I get Verizon 3G.
Any ideas? I've flashed PRLs 12124, 24006, and 25006, and it's the same thing for all three (with the exception that 12124 gets 3G roaming and the others are 1x)
I've already updated PRL and Profile normally, no give. Did a service reset, also no give. I'm starting to think Sprint might just be down...
Great, this is your chance to get out of Sprints contact without getting a ETF.

I actually figured out what's going on, so I have a fix if you're stuck on 1x:
First, go do a TWRP backup. You should always do this anyways.
Second, find your MSL using MSL Reader.
Third, you need to do an RTN restore (this wipes everything and then forces your phone into an automatic activation with Sprint). You can do this by hitting ##RTN# in the dial-pad and then entering in your MSL
Once the phone has restored to factory settings and then activated, you can go back into TWRP and restore your backup
This worked for me when my phone was having issues. It may or may not work for you.

[Q] Problems after S-Off

Hi,
I S-Off'd my Evo 3D successfully earlier today.
However.... my phone is flashed to Virgin Mobile before this. Now something is screwed up. I think my ESN was changed or something because I cannot connect to the network at all (calls say that my account could not be validated.) The ESN that my phone is reported as having is said to be bad online. Is there a reason for this? Is there a fix?
Thanks.

Assuming you used the JuopunutBear (wire trick) method for S-OFF, it resets some of the phone information to stock defaults (like the bootloader locked status) and requires re-activation of the phone. It's possible that some of the information that was changed when it was flashed to VM was restored. That shouldn't include the ESN, but it is possible that was changed previously.
ramjet73
I changed that. Along with NAMs, MobileIP info, and Data info. I did a DFS read of the information and it appears that a lot of it might have been reset. My HDR AN itself is reading as [email protected]. JBear does a backup first... would I be able to find any of the information there? Or what about a Titanium Backup?

locked and s-off???

Got this 3d and can't get it to activate properly with sprint. I get data(internet) connection but no voice service or messsages. Nothing is blocking my account the phone is locked but has s-off does this have anything to do with the voice conection should I just run an ruu. I'm on the latest Sprint stock ROM which has hboot 1.58
I'd take it to Sprint and let them figure it out. You could try to force it through hands free activation again first.
