ok so ive been struck with bad luck once again and have lost my data and sms due to the sprint-hero's cdma settings conflicting and overwriting some important settings.
ive contacted verizon and they said that it may take up to 8 days before they get around to reseting my phone.
ive also read in a thread in ppc geeks that if i activate a different phone then reactivate my phone on the vzw website it will reset those settings. great! right?
my problem is i dont have another phone to activate...so my question to the community is if some has an old phone pm me the esn so i could maybe get this taken care of tonight instead of waiting up to 8 long days for vzw to reset my phone.
i would much appriciate this.
EDIT: even an esn to a broken divice should work just nothing blacklisted or from a canceled account , again thanks all

correct my build is fine
so far is seems verizon specific. it affected my phone. didn't have data for a day or so but finally got it straightened out. winmo is still a little funny. but android is working fine. so i took down the sprint hero. and advise people to not use it. we can port the apps and such but definitely don't run it.

K guys, as some of you know the reason we haven't see any work from one of our most knowledgeable dev's (vilord) is because his vogue is busted.
I'm wondering if anyone has one they'd be willing to donate to him?
I'm making no promises about what he'll be able to release. When he was developing his specialty was working with the RIL, and I'm sure he'd start poking into it again.
Anyways no need to make a speech, most of you know who he is and what's he's done for android on the vogue. So if you have an alltel, sprint or bell vogue you'd be willing to donate, let me know by PM and I'll forward you his info.
I might be able to help..just acquired another vogue (has a busted camera button) that i'd promised my wife..but i'm sure i can bribe her w/ a new phone of her choice that'll free up one of the vogues..i'll get report back if/when the deal's accepted
i second this motion.
1+ from me
I have a vogue that i plugged into a gps charger, led flashed pink and never heard from the phone again lol. it is dead if he needs it for parts it is his.
Oh hamburgers, my coworker just gave away his 2 vogues to his customers and didn't even realize that it can run Android(my bad for not showing him because he is all about the Droid at the moment).

Honestly I'm not sure what to suggest, try reflashing your radio, re-run icoke, hard reset, flash your vendors latest rom? Those would be the steps I would start with before even contacting vzw.
Just updated prl and found 60666 is available to all.
That is all. Have a good day
Just updated as well. I hope they come out with 69667 soon. As of right now I'm trying to decide if my phone is the devil or if its gonna die soon and go straight to hell. Lol

List of changes is over on Howard Forums. Looks like only a couple cities in VA and NC were changed, so if you don't plan on going there no real reason to update.

I beg to differ as the last PRL jacked my hero up, i had virtually no signal and it went into roam all the time. So far this one works great for me and im in the great lakes area.

You have to do the ##775# thing enter your msl code choose the prl and update it.
I am guessing on Darchs rom that is not an option tho since the ## codes do not work. At least you guys have the fastest rom right?
I believe my service has improved since I installed this PRL. It could be all in my head but last night I had full service which is not a normal thing for me...
I'll have to see if it was a fluke thing or if it actually improved my service.
(Upland, CA near LA)
Wow, updating this PRL completely hosed my phone. My data connection keeps dropping continuously now, and I am going into roaming. This is at work where I have always had 3-4 bars. I can't even run a speedtest, because my data will drop down to 1X every time I try. I tried updating again (thinking I got a bad flash) and the same thing is happening.
By the way, this is happening on a stock .6 Sprint Rom with only Sprint bloatware removed.
Edit: Nevermind. It turns out the tower right by my work was having problems all morning. I thought it was because of the PRL update I did last night right before I went to bed. Turns out my coworkers on Sprint were having the exact same issues. The tower problem was fixed this afternoon, and all is well now.
How can I pull my PRL off my phone without relying on others to post the or from a website?

lol I read somewhere that it was actually 616 as the mark of the beast... or something other than 666. But who knows... But yea, I want a backup cause I have been messing with PRL's and sometimes the built in feature to auto update doesn't update. It's easier just to do it myself.
Also, did you know on your phone that 666 also spells MOM? Back in the day of pagers and stuff when I was 14-15, I had a pager and when my mom would page me..She'd put 666 so that I would it was mom paging me...I don't think she ever realized she was putting 666 every time.
So, after having the tab for a day and a half, was getting twitchy on making phone calls.
I want that Phone icon on the screen!
So, after rooting (uber easy actually, z4root works a treat), got adbWireless to enable me to connect and got a shell.
Bit of juggling, mounting the /system and pushing in the Phone.apk's.
I've tried a whole bunch of Phone.apk's from anywhere I can find them basically, and still no joy as of yet.
In fact, getting a few errors now in a few places (PhoneInfo and TabletInformation errors).
Makes sense it's not trivial as we'd have seen something already probably.
And don't know if it's the phone.apk or the radio being used that's set to block.
How's everyone else getting on?
Thanks a lot for posting... I am anxious to see if we can do this... a friend of mine thought this would be a simple "install the phone apk" but we found that didn't work on Wednesday.
The only other one I've seen who's trying (publicly maybe?) is jdmadonna who posted his results over in the Tab Themes and Apps forum today that he rooted with z4root, then installed the phone.apk as you did, then the Tab started vibrating every few seconds and showed the message android phone has stopped working. When he rebooted, everything locked up apparently... he said he lost the network provider and baseband and could not bring them back, so he returned the tab. He had been looking for the Euro phone.apk, so I'm not sure if that's what he used here...
Guess it will not be as easy as we had hoped.... hopefully this nut can be cracked somehow.
Adding insult to injury is the Samsung T-Mobile user manual for the Tab which refers to it as a phone throughout! However, the pretty much useless pamphlet that T-Mo provides call it a "device."
Wish someone from Samsung would anonymously step in and help us out. The t-mo salesman I worked with (who was very helpful wrt to possibly using it as a phone) said he'd heard that some folks were/are? threatening a class-action lawsuit against the carriers... obviously a money maker for the lawyers... but I don't care... if it'd make them let us use it as a phone, that'd be fine with me.
Couldn't the carrier block phone access for the device by the IMEI number? Then it wouldn't matter what the user did, the tablet would never be able to make a call.
Here's what guyverunit had to say in this thread at post no. 52:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832643&page=6
Someone else reported this too... when you press activate on the Verizon phones at the start, they MAKE CALLS OUT.... this is what he said:
"so knowing that Verizon was selling there version at Best Buy i popped in there today to check it out, see if there plans or anything were better. they had just taken it out of the box and were setting it up. i went to work and on my lunch went back. they had the display set up so i played with it. it was still at the activation screen, i pressed activate and behold it dialed out to do the activation. even had a phone icon in the top bar.
so i talked to the best buy mobile manager there and ask if they had gotten it passed the activation he said no but he would try again. he tried and it dialed out. i said oh so it can make calls, he said yes its just not put into the software to do it for the user end but yes, it can make calls. he also said he gives it two weeks till the DEV community hack it to do just that. LOL"
The t-mo phones do not make phone calls to activate... at least mine didn't... the sales guy activated it by using the bar code and the computer and no "activate screen" came up at all... went straight to browser.
Don't know if that means the phones themselves are different... or if Verizon just kept the Euro phone activation approach...
Maybe the Verizon phones would be the best ones to work with?

One of the Phone.apk' did that for me too. The Phone.apk I'm using now has stopped showing me the connection in the top bar, so looks like that's related to that as well, but at least it's not crashing like it was.
I should really reflash back to base (is that possible atm?) and see what's doable.
I'm still holding on for a euro rom that's flashable to enable everything.
Do you think the Euro rom will work with US hardware, or should they be identical?
I was curious about Paten's question re the IMEI no. possibly being blocked and did a little searching...
I found a freelance programmer's site... codepainters blog....
http://codepainters.wordpress.com/2009/12/11/android-imei-number-and-the-emulator/
and in the course of saying how to change the IMEI number, he says this at the beginning:
"Anyway, code analysis shows that IMEI/IMSI request goes down through all the telephony layers (see the diagram), eventually getting to the baseband device."
I find this interesting because jdmadonna and you describe the phone.apk causing problems down to the baseband level... as did you...
Obviously, IANAAD (I am not an Android developer - my programming days are way in the past)... so maybe there are myriad other things that can cause a problem down to the baseband level...
Maybe it's just as simple as unblocking the ISEI no. as Paten suggests...
I'm also hopeful about the Euro flash, but am not brave enough (nor do I know how) to do it!
You guys are using a different SIM from the one you received with your Tab right? (if you got it on a plan). One that you know voice calling works on?
In Australia, the Tab does not have voice disabled, but they force you (for the initial launch) to sign up for a data only plan. The SIM you get on this plan is blocked for voice, but works for 3G and even sending SMSs.
You just might want to make sure that the SIM you have in actually works for voice in case you DO get it working from a software perspective, but it is just the SIM that is stopping the call.
Aye, swapped the sim over from my other phone (though the PAYG sim I got actually did support voice/data apparently, but I didn't want to risk it so took a known working sim)
Phone.apk
Radio stuff
imei
Don't know. Could be any of them, or combo of 2 or more even.
It's really crazy. I appreciate they probably want to keep it simple as a tablet device, but they're missing out on revenue. "Want to use voice? that's available for another 10 bucks and/or a different(more expensive) sim"
Keeps it working for people who just want a tab, and gets more cash from people who want to dump their phone.
Think it's telling that ALL the telco's are limiting the voice as if anyone of them broke ranks and offered voice, they'd all have to.
Guess we'll see which Telco chickens out first!
/sigh
Re the SIM card... the holder mine came in does say data only, but the tmo rep said it could still handle voice.. seemed odd to me... since jyveafk has tried switching it, guess I'll wait to see if a solution turns up... or the tab is going back and I'm not getting a new phone when my contract's out in protest!

If you had followed your own advice (search and engage brain ), you would realize that they are talking about US Tabs, as the phone function has been disabled on these.
Euro Tabs have phone functionality as standard and the Yanks already know this so your post came over as a little sarcastic!

alright guys. im gonna take the plundge. i noticed a dead pixel on my tab so its going back to tmobile for a replacement. i thought i would try the euro firmware before returning it. so guys, need your help! which firmware should i flash and whats the procedure for it. links would be helpful.

I have been having isues with my Nexus s4G and the radio. At first like most would have thought it to be something i did. But Nope sprint kicked off their network after i rooted and updated my prl and profile! have not had the chance to talk to sprint yet. went online to check my account, that Ive had for 9 years. to see no device found and my plan has been droped. WTF sprint.
im a modreate user and dont ues wireless teather.
so wtf put out a dev phone and kick off any user that unlocks the device @sses
will update when i call in the morning
#update#
Sorry guy and gals this one was my fault not sprint. I guess i should call be for i go and make late night drunk rants....
So what happen was i canceled a line with sprint about a week a go. they told me i dont need to pay the etf fee tell my next bill. due at the end of may. the etf fee was 140$ this put me over my spending limit. it just so happen that i up late the night befor rooting my phone. So sprint turned me back on. I feel like i a complete Fool. all day yesterday i thought i broke my phone. then i thought sprint kicked me off.
im sorry folks i dont like to make post because of this. I dont want to lose the respect of my fellow flashers.
Are you sure it had something to do with you rooting and updating prl/profile?
Yeah, i'm quite sure if that really happened, the forums would be full of such threads. Sure it has to do with your rooting?
Intresting
I recently switched from T-Mobile to sprint for the N4G. First thing I did was root it. Updated PRL and profile after. It has been three days since that and I have no issues with the phone nor the network or plan
ditto! no problems for me.

You may want to edit the title of your post as a result of this revelation and/or put your update at the top of the OP. It's entirely possible people are not going to read your entire post to get to the update portion that clears this up and they'll go off into some panic and use ODIN to flash the wrong rom and brick their device (it seems people just flash the first thing they find recently).
Glad everything got sorted out for you

I accidentally updated to the 2.3 update from sprint, which naturally killed root and battery life of my shift, and so now I'm wondering if there is a way to ruu back to 2.2 so I can root and save some juice, or am I just S.O.L. until devs figure something else out?
This has been answered in several different threads... As of right now there is no way to return to 2.2. Until another root method is found, your pretty much stuck with what you have.

I'm in the same boat. If there isn't a solution found within a week or so, I'm going to reactivate my Palm Pre and use it until the fix is found. I NEED to have wifi tethering and the Pre was really easy to get it working on. FML
