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.

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

Ok to start i bricked my virgin mobile s-off unlocked phone by flashing a rom that wasnt compatible. So i sent it to mobiletechvideos.com to unbrick it, and when i got it back it was flashed with sprint stock everything. It was supposed to be virgin mobile. Also am not getting service at all like no mobile network period. wifi works fine. Firstly i tried to flash back to virgin mobile but the ruu.exe for vm says wrong image version or incompatible or something along those lines. So i tried the sprint version of the ruu.exe and it worked, but i dont want the sprint i want virgin mobile. So i flashed a p86img for virgin mobile radios firmware etc. and it look just like Vm again, but still no service or mobile network. Im wanting to get activated to my account again with virgin mobile.On the Network info page for operator name it shows unknown and service state no service.
So question is, Is there any way i can get service with vm again?
Also, the esn/meid numbers were different than what were on the back of the phone so i zeroed them out and got them to match again using dfs, dunno if that info matters or not but told yah anyway.
EDIT: Also my gf has the exact same vm phone so is there anyway i can pull the info from hers to make mine vm again or something?
Suggestion for next time..
Virgin mobile has a one year insurance you could of easily called & they would of send you a new phone. No charge.
But to answer your question..
Try changing your APN to virgin mobile that's probably why you have no data
I also recommend getting s-off again which seems to be the reason the virgin mobile ruu won't flash on your device because of the sprint switch
-it looks like you have already done this with the PG86IMG.zip file.
Just call virgin mobile & they should send you a new one right away.
You are the right track but due to the rules and laws Xda cannot willingly provide information on how to clone ESN/meid numbers to another carrier. What I can tell you is that you will probably need to use CDMA workshop and qpst, get the proper diag drivers. Google it up and learn how to do it. Once you successfully change your ESN/meid numbers then call virgin mobile and have them activate your phone. Keep in mind that taking a prl update or data profile update will revert you phone back to sprint. Or you can buy a default virgin mobile evo v 4g
Ok so what and how do I go about getting away with getting a new phone from vm? Does it need to be s on and unrooted etc ?
Hello all,
First post on XDA; I've been searching for this issue for the past 4 hours, and found very little. I hope I haven't missed anything.
Long Story
Had a rooted phone, tried to flash JellyBAM; worked, except that kernel got messed up (touchscreen didn't work). Problem remained even after restoring HTC Sense. I assumed it was b/c my phone still had S-ON.
After successfully running DirtyRacun on my Evo 4g LTE, I flashed JellyBAM 7.6.2 (using TWRP 2.4.4.0, wiped Dalvik, Cache, Factory Reset & System first). Everything worked fine, except that there is no mobile network whatsoever. When booting JellyBAM, it prompts me to activate my phone:
"A special call needs to be made to activate your phone service. After pressing 'Activate', listen to the instructions provided to activate your phone."
I do this, but the problem is that I get an automated message: "Your account is not authorized to make calls to this phone number. If you would like to have additional capabilities added to your account, please call Customer Service."
This is the same message I get trying to make any phone call. Nothing (data, calls, etc) works on the mobile network now. I called Sprint to see if they could simply de-active then reactive my phone, but it appears to them as already activated. The tech I spoke w/ thinks I may have deleted the Sprint programming.
This sounds plausible, but what's REALLY WEIRD is that *2 still dials Sprint perfectly, and holding 1 still tries to check voicemail. So clearly some aspects of it connect with Sprint still. I have no idea what's messed up, unfortunately.
I don't believe JellyBAM is the culprit here, b/c after DirtyRacun but before flashing JellyBAM, I still had this problem.
Helpful Info
Android Version: 4.2.2
Radio Version: 1.12.11.1119
Kernel version: 3.0.73-g5d13a2c
JellyBAM 7.6.2
Question
Is there anything I can do to fix this so that my phone can reconnect with and use Sprint's mobile network? I'd really like to preserve JellyBAM, S-Off, and Root, given the amount of time and effort it took to get those working. Thank you so much, any help would be greatly appreciated.
First, try updating your radio.
I'd say to RUU back to stock and see if the problem persists. If it does then take it to Sprint and they should give you a replacement if you have the YEP. I had a similar but not so screwey situation, a few actually, like yours and when I lost all network Sprint replaced my phone. I've always had success dialing my voicemail after attempted activations and then my phone would kick back in within about 15 minutes while keep texting and calling my home phone.

Thank you for your response, I really appreciate the help.
I updated my radio, which went smoothly, but unfortunately it didn't work. What's frustrating is that I don't even know what the problem is. I know it isn't the ROM I flashed (since it had the same problem on HTC Sense before I flashed JellyBAM). It seems to have started after DirtyRacun S-Off process.
I'm still pretty noob so I don't know what else besides radio it could be. I'm really reluctant to try and restore my phone to stock due to the amount of time I spent learning to root and S-Off it. Wouldn't want that to be in vain, though I might not have a choice at this point.
Is there something I should try next?

Flash back to a sense rom and update Profile and PRL if that doesn't work call Sprint and have them re-provision your phone

Before calling sprint, Google the 4g lte dialer codes, I'm sure there is one that activates the wireless reactivation process (that was the case with my old gs3)

I know after achieving S-off, I had to call Sprint due to a security issue. I couldn't make calls or anything.
It was painless and took all of 5 minutes.

Hello Everyone, I'm trying to activate my fathers Evo 3d on the Sprint network. The phone is currently running CM 10.1 "Wild for the night." I've gone through the process of activating the phone on Sprints end but every time I try to activate the phone I get a message that says that I'm "not authorized to call this number."
This feels like a stupid question but does this phone have to be running stock Sprint software/firmware to activate? If so, how do I know what version of the software I need?

Any stock sprint ROM will work for activation. Since your running WTFN, your hboot is incompatible with most Sprint ICS ROMS, so you could either flash an old Sprint gingerbread based ROM, or change your hboot to 1.58 and flash a sprint ICS based ROM

how i can downgrade my htc one sprint from 4.4.2 to 4.1.2 to unlock it for gsm ??
You would have to S-Off to be able to do that. Is this for the Sprint version? If so, the international unlock works well, but if you want to use it in the US, you will most likely have a lot of connection issues trying to stay connected to the towers when you move. It likes to drop off and you have to reset it a couple of times to get service back. Very frustrating. If you don't have the Sprint version, disregard.
same problem
