Invalid Sim Sprint CDMA Hero?? - Hero CDMA General

Has anyone else had there hero say invalid sim card when rebooting?
Mine goes away and then "sprint"replaces it.
Im curious because whenever i try and and do internet sharing i get Error Code 67 Registration failure pcs vision username and/or password may be incorrect.
I have no idea if these two problems are related very confusing...
I called sprint and got my MSL code and did a user name reset then profile and prl update.(not sure if its the same as MSL reset)
Also could it be my PRI?
Not sure if this helps but i have:
Fw, 2.1-update 2
build, Fresh rom 2.0d
baseband, 2.42.00.03.10
Sw, 2.20.651.1
PRI, flipz_01
PRL, 60664

i noticed this today for the first time.... my phone all of a sudden had a ton of force closes then rebooted and during the reboot process i saw the invalid sim card display... weird
and im on dc 2.0.7.2 with the treve jit mod

invalid sim is normal, internet sharing doesnt work on the 1.70 pri.

Ok fill me in im obviously a noob.
Is invalid sim normal because of the rom i have?
How dose a person find out which pri they have (1.70, 1.68, 2.10)?
why doesnt usb teathering work on certian pri's do i need to fix my pri?

Invalid SIM is normal on Fresh, I think it's because of his AutoPRI script on boot up, but I can't recall why specifically it does it.
If you are running Flipz_PRI then you really can't tell what you should be at.
If internet sharing doens't work for you, then you are likely on 1.70_003.
As far as I know there is no way of spoofing a PRI to get MNS to work. However you could call sprint and ask reallllly nicely to give you MNS, maybe the support rep will be in a good mood.

@ abcdfv and kcarpenter thanks for the quick replys.
in respose to getting MNS working by sprint. I was unaware this was something that could be added. I thought if you have the "everything" plan unlimited data is included.
Im guessing this costs extra? if so ill stick with the wireless teatehr for root users unless someone can suggest a better solution

flashing an Eris ROM will break your pri. Fresh will automagically fix it again though.
edit: breaking your pri will enable wired tethering.

Easytether or PDANet in the market. I have used PDANet my self, but it honestly kind of sucks. Not the speeds or anything, but because you can't let a big download go for a while because it will randomly drop the connection. Which I think is just a design flaw, not necessarily a problem for general browsing.
I am not even sure if easy tether works on our phone.
There are a few apps in the market that want you to setup an OpenVPN connection on your laptop and use it to connect to the phone and use its data connection, but that seems overly cumbersome for what you are trying to accomplish.

i think this is an issue on most 2.1 roms. this is why we need the final released. doesn't hurt anything, it's more of an eye sore for a minute until the sprint text loads.

I was gunna say. I think its on most 2.1 roms. Maybe because we still have bits and pieces from the GSM hero like we did on 1.5. I would say its gunna be fixed in the official like fixxxer said.

ok good because i was considering flashing back to a 1.5 fw, reseting my MSL updating my profile and prl, then flashing back to a 2.1fw.
Sense this stuff is normal i'll quit complaining and wait for the official rom to be release and moded by this great fourm.
thanks guys

[Nandroid] Mobile Network Sharing 2.1

I'm using DC v1 right now and there is no MNS (Mobile Network Sharing) as of now, so I have made a nand img for you all of the last rom that I used that had MNS working 100%.
I use this ONLY when I need to tether... which is often lol because I live on campus at the University of Miami.
I flashed Flipz's 2.1 v1.8-7 Eclair (which has working MNS) that I had lying around.
Stripped it for JUST tethering, got rid of Sprint crap & the works.
Includes,
Wireless Tether
&
NetCounter. Since there is no display on how much data/wifi you are using, NetCounter is a *free* program on the market that will tell you.
THIS IS A NANDROID IMAGE. DO NOT FLASH AS A .ZIP!!!!!
I am not responsible if this screws anything up. I just posted my nand image.
UNZIP FILE AND PUT FOLDER "2.1_Eclair_Tether" ON YOU SDCARD UNDER:
nandroid > Your serial # >
THEN APPLY LIKE A NORMAL NAND RESTORE.
I have never shared a Nandriod image before, so not even sure if it will work. I DID NOT sign into anything after flashing (google, market, gmail, facebook...) so it is completely stock.
Anyone willing to try this nand restore?
Just trying to help out those who miss MNS.
Also, post your results, would like to know if sharing nandroid backups could be convenient.

Well then...
For everyone using DC and doesn't want to switch to DarchLegend, not that it's bad, just not wanting to make a big switch.
Ok, well if no one wants to try....
I have a question: Is it even possible to share unlinked Nandroid images from phone to phone?? that's sort of why this is here too, to figure that out.

I flashed an old Nandroid backup onto a replacement phone (different serial, obviously) and it worked fine. Only thing that I had to do afterwards was clear the cache on Gmail for some reason, though I don't think it was related to flashing between different phones since others in the forums have reported the same issue.
Oh...and I'm using EasyTether Lite that I'd downloaded from the market a while back. Works great. I hear that the latest version has some additional limitations though...such as no https sites.
I'm using DC 2.1 and my MNS works fine.
Start up wireless tether, connect with laptop or whatever, disable mobile network, enable mobile network, wireless tether works perfect.
Its a bug, but that is the fix. Only need to do it once I believe.

I wanted my MSL to change my SIC to 0, and somebody posted how to get it with CDMA workshop etc, well it just went poof, but a sprint employee here at xda helped me get my MSL (Thanks again!), but they were arguing why somebody needed an MSL, and somebody posted about how he used it blah blah fixed tethering.

I'm anxious to see this too. I remember working on my Hero back when tethering on 1.5 discussions were happening, and really the only thing you could do in the CDMA Workshop (I think that's the name of it) was change your email address used as your id to the network from the one that's using PAM to mimic what was being sent during normal data usage. I think in the PAM communication was set blank, and the normal one was set to your id. It didn't work at all actually. It seemed that something else was built into the Android/Sprint stuff in Android that made that impossible. This is basically what you did, albeit through WindowsMobile's registry, to accomplish the same result in windows mobile.
I think in this instance, it's the other way around. Meaning that we have to get around it from a software standpoint so that it doesn't access the Sprint validation to determine whether to use PAM (Phone as Modem) line or normal line (even though it's just an id.)
This is what MNS accomplishes, it gets around that by appearing as normal data, and doesn't cause our Hero to throw error 67 data failure messages.
I may be completely off, but sounds feasible right?

Yeah, that and that the option isn't even cooked into Damageless' ROM
I hope he releases v1.2 or 2 with MNS.
I know Darch's rom has working mns, but I like DC a lot. Until then, I'll use my nand backup

Error 67 on Sprint Hero. Data not working

I am on an older plan and I don't want to switch to a more expensive everything data plan since I only use my data plan for email, so I bought a Hero and changed the esn to match the one on my current phone, a Q9c. The esn switch worked fine and I now have phone/texts on my Hero, but neither 1x nor evdo works now. I get Error 67...something about username and password being incorrect. I have no idea how to fix this. I added the username in the ##3282# menu, but I didn't see anything about a password in there. My HA shared secret is 'secret' like I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be, but I don't know what my AAA shared secret is or is supposed to be. Do i have to find this in the Q9c and transfer it over? I'm completely lost. Anyone have any tips or ideas on how I can get my data working?

Im pretty sure thats why you have not got an answer!
Everyone is going to err on cautious side.
Yeah, the only thing worse then ESN swapping is murder.
I'm not asking how to do an esn swap...just merely explaining all the facets of my problem so someone can help me out. I understand it's a touchy subject, but despite any 'laws' to the contrary I don't feel what I did was wrong. They're both my phones and I'm not stealing service. I think it's ridiculous that Sprint thinks it has the right to tell me which phones I can and can't use on my plan. I wish I had a gsm provider...I don't think this would be as much of a problem.
Anyway, I really don't want this to get off topic. The only thing that should matter is I am getting Error 67 when I try to make a data connection. How do I fix this? Should I call Sprint...will they give me data connection settings? Do I have to find a way to get the AAA shared secret off my old phone? Am I just screwed? Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.
I feel your pain. Try going into... Menu > Settings > About Phone > System Updates and Update Profile.
Hope it works.
Thanks for the tip. I tried it and the screen reads "The network is preparing your services. Please wait." Then the Error 67 window pops up a couple times, and after a few minutes the screen reads "The profile update could not be completed. Please try again later. If the problem persists, you may need to contact Customer Service. Error code:1012". Thoughts? How does this update work anyway? Does it use the data connection to update?
Had this problem before, spent hours with a Sprint's advanced tech support to try and solve the problem. The problem occured when I switched from one custom rom to another, then I restored a nandroid backup of the previous custom rom on top of it. My Hero starting bugging out after this. They couldn't help solve the problem, but they also didn't know about my flashing spree.
The only way I solved the problem was to RUU to Sprint's official rom. Even after I did this it took about 24hrs to register with Sprint for some reason.
Good luck.
Either RUU or reset to factory default on the phone.
I wouldnt call sprint. Them probably already know somethings not right.
You copied the MEID DEC number off your q9c to the hero.
So what sprint sees is a MEID DEC number of a Q9c
And they also see a MEID HEX of a HTC HERO.
I belive this is how it is, i could be wrong.
I say this because ive been told that the Hexadecimal numbers are specific to a general device (EG>>HERO)
And that a Decimal Numbers are specific to the end user device
So they got a Q9c trying to provision as a HERO

Correct me if I'm wrong but RUU is basically just reflashing the phone with the factory software, no? Assuming so, why would I need to do that? I'm working with a Sprint Hero that hasn't been flashed/rooted so I'm pretty sure it's still running the original software.
Anyway, I'm pretty desperate (and a hard reset doesn't seem to have fixed anything) so I'm willing to try anything if it has a chance of working. Is this the RUU I should use?

No im just 100% positive that ur the female or maybe boyfriend of the female that was yelling at me today for the phone not working and feeding me some bs story about the hero being the worst phone ever and how this was a "replacement"... However as soon as I asked if u were rooted u calmed down and listened to everything I said. Let me guess you r on free & clear 3000, unl text/web/roaming all for a staggering $20?. I know u wont admit it but thanks for being the 1 asshole I had at work today

I had this happen to me the other day. Well, all of my stuff is legit, but Error 67 was poping up on both my phones.
They had me do this:
##3282#
Wait for a second - its slow
enter your MSL(Not sure if you need the old phones or the Hero's MSL)
GO into EDIT mode
Email address should be [email protected] - They had me change mine from FirstLast01 to [email protected]
Click Menu
Tap Comit(I Think, Maybe Restore..I can't remember)
Reboot the phone
Handsfree activation MAY kick off.
Got to Menu>Settings>About Phone> System Updates> Update Profile
Let it spin...
Turn the phone off, pull the batter for about a minute.
reboot the phone.

Did you finish the process with QPST after using CDMA? If your getting a fast busy signal like sound, it's more then likely Cricket not having your correct ESN. Do you have an account setup already and have provided them your converted MEID #?
My friend had given me the wrong MIN number.. for some reason data still worked. Changed the MIN and walla.. Find out another thing later that day though.. Google voice acts crazy with cricket on a flashed Droid X. Made it pretty much impossible for someone to call me. Would actually say the number is no longer in service. Tried to deactivate call forwarding from the info in account settings for google voice. it says to dial *740 on your phone and hit call.. Doesn't work. *720 WILL fix the issue though. Something to do with Cricket not doing conditional call forwarding. .

Glad to hear it's working. Actually, funny thing with Cricket and data...as soon as your done with CDMA, you will have data. Let's say you have a data plan already on your phone and you buy another phone you are going to upgrade to. You can still flash your new phone to Cricket and while your old phone might not have voice calls/texts, you can surf the web on both phones still getting perfectly clear 3G where it's available
YEA! I have a friend that i flashed a mogul and a Touch pro to cricket back in the day. He had the mogul activated and was still able to surf the web with the Touch pro. Nice little bonus i guess. lol

There used to be an online tutorial on how to flash a DX to Cricket but the whole forum has been down for a while. Its a lengthy process to flash and as you already know, it takes a long time if you don't know what you are doing 100%. Techs charge up to $90 for this flash for a reason...they know the ins and outs and have a guide that's taken time and patience to make. Like myself. I can flash any Motorola Droid to Cricket in less then 10 minutes. Its taken me hours to get that fast and lots of trail and error.
What part are you having trouble with?

I can use anything CDMAWS and QPST to edit my phone but after i try using a nvram backup from whiterabbit or whether i try to edit the settings using QPST the phone restarts as normal and u see the data bar going from 1x to 3g and the phone soft resets over and over. ideas? I would like to at least get the net working. from there im sure i could resolve the next issue.

CDMA or QPST should not be causing your phone to reset unless you accidently changed a setting in QPST. Which PRL are you using? Most stable is 49027 for the DX at the moment. Did you have these issues before the flash? Did you buy the phone used and then started the flash process? I hope you didn't get a busted DX

Ahh, that must be why it works! I am on the $55 plan and my 3G speeds are consistent 1.2Ghz when stupid iJunk users aren’t bogging down AT&T's network. When speed is at it's best, it always beats out my girlfriend’s Droid X 3G speed on Verizon, not by much but enough to say so.
Im using 49027. I've narrowed it down to possible glitch. Upon entering the info for the proxy manually it goes into 1x then 3g then reader loop. Ivebeen using a stock backup to revert to prior tweaking so I can keep trying to figure this out if u have a exact method u use im all ears. Or just ideas. Im running out lol
Also one more thing, ive just entered in the proxy information manually via the cell phone and the phone hasnt given me a boot loop like it used to, still the internet isnt working yet so im going to go into QPST and see if just changing the mobile IP setting throws me into the loop again...EDIT: it sends me into a soft restart loop since its on mob+simp f/back again... catlog didnt show anything that i can see sadly. the soft restart forces the log to stop and doesnt show why it did.switched it back to mobile ip only and stopped the reboot cycle but no data at all ugh...

Just flash it in ROM Manager
I've talked to a couple of folks on the V10 token. Some say it has no relevance and one said it might actually harm your phone since it's not even made for the Droid X specifically. I tried it and it didn’t do anything. It came to be that my MNC in my APN was incorrect.
Without doing a full SBF on your phone, there array of issues you might have are to wide to diagnose. You need to start over and not use your backup. If the problem still persists then let us know but I doubt it will if you did the Cricket flash properly.
Have you changed your APN settings as well? I use anycut from the market to edit and save it.

I've always used it and it does help. It has never broken my X. I don't know why why it doesn't work for you but I've used it on my old ERIS, Droid X, and my wifes DInc.

[Q] PLZ PLZ help..3g and 4g issue

Hi there. Im on EB13 and not running any customs rums. I upgraded from DK28 using the samsung file from the samsung website. Ever since I went from DI18 to DK28 last month i keep dropping 3g or 4g signal. the problem still exists even when i upgraded to EB13. The interesting thing is that the phone shows I have 3g or 4g signal on the notification bar but im not able to load webpages or the market or use youtube (i get a "connection failed! try again" error). It'd be working for like 10 minutes and then disconnects. I have to toggle 3g/4g off and on and i will be back online for like another 10 minutes. This issue is really annoying since i used the web a lot. Is any body else experiencing this? does any one have a fix or can some at least direct me to a direction for a fix? thank y'all

thank you. i will give it a go but i doubt it will fix the problem. I have used odin several times before and besides the rotation issue that it causes (i know the fix to it) i like using it. But i have heard that the samsung update tool does the same thing as odin and it flashes everything prior to writing new files to the phone. It may just be a modem issue but again im a noob and i may just be talking out of my rear
Try removing the proxy settings off the data radio. On the dialer do this:
Get your MSL code first then
##data#
Edit
Others
Multimedia
Then change all proxy addresses to: 0.0.0.0 and the proxy ports to 0. Back out of the menus and reboot the phone.
Let me know how it goes.

Hey thanks. I had done this trick before and it didnt seem to help. I will do it again just to see if it makes a difference on EB13.
Did you figure anything out? You could always try to update your prl?

Why does sprint put these Proxy settings in place? What are they trying to achieve by having them setup?

prevent ppl from streaming data all day. It will slow down the network a bit in some areas. But we are lucky. The thiefs over at verizon got a data cap to 5gb. We do aswell but sprint turns a blind eye just like tmobile.

I havent figured anything out yet. i had my data network turned off since morning and occasionally used 4g. I also changed the proxy settings to 0s again. I will know by the next day or so. btw. Thank u for your help, u had helped me once before also.

Sprint LG G2, no tethering option, bought from best buy.

Hi. I bought my phone through best buy and noticed I don't any of the sprint apps. Ive been trying to get the native hotspot to work but the option to turn it on isnt in the menu.
I'm rooted and tried the iceroom and stock versions of native hotspot. Also I've contacted another user who had the same issue, no hotspot option, also purchased via best buy.. Which is kinda odd. Does anyone else have this issue or know of a way of fixing it?
ya know, the same thing happened w/ me.......bought the phone from best buy and was looking for a hotspot feature and lo-and-behold, theres none to be found, even enabled dev settings and didn't pop up. I'm kinda dumbfounded and i really like the stock OS coming from the galaxy s4 and was hoping there was a hidden setting for it or if theres a rom that enables it because i'd be all over that lol

Extremely odd that it hasn't been mentioned by anyone else either. I cant even use any of the other tethering apps (wifi tether, barnacle, etc etc), I recieve ad-hoc errors, which I'm assuming is the issue with the native hotspot not appearing in the menu.
Still looking for a way to fix this if anyone knows how, would greatly appreciate it.

If you root and DL wireless tether you can't? Its a carrier option not an retailer option- makes no sense. Just trying to understand.. Contacting a friend now..

No. The phone is rooted and Ive tried the wireless tether app, pdanet, barnacle. Every wireless app shows an ad-hoc error in the log while pdanet gives me a htc sync error 2.
Thing is theres no hotspot option in the menu. Im sure its like that for everyone who bought the phone from best buy.

My question is: Why would a carrier do that? That is an upsell that they want to extend to every smartphone purchase, it's lost revenue. That is why I'm perplexed and have placed a call to my friend (MGR for VZW).
anyone figure this out yet? i have the same problem. bought my phone from best buy as well.

Apparently this issue is caused by not fully finishing the activation process for Sprint. Sprint base apps install after activation... my sneaking suspicion is they are installed via the "Sprint ID" app but Im not sure. Either try doing the activation again, or more likely to work is to do a full factory reset and make sure you do not interrupt the process all the way thru activation.
You will then have your tethering options back. Its likely the reps at bestbuy are bypassing that part of the activation process by interrupting it so they can finish your sale and get you outta there faster. Might also be unintentional on their part but who knows.
Do a factory reset.
noob question... will factory reset remove root and twrp? i have both, stock rom. i already backed up via twrp. however, will i need to install everything again afterwards?
You need to do a factory reset, no It will not loose root or twrp. As soon as you the phone boots back up, update prl and profile. Make sure you are in a good data location or are hooked up on WiFi. After updating both of these your phone should install all the Sprint apps and you will have tether option in settings

As bigpappa pointed out... it's not necessarily a best buy thing. It's the fact the rep probably didn't finish the activation process when setting your phone up in store. It could have been any store... it's just coincidence that the people with the problem happen to have bought from best buy.
lol i don't doubt that but i just had to give him hell because he was essentially trying to call us out who didn't have the tethering option and "debunk" it when it was just a simple statement that it wasn't there and was curious as to why, ive never really seen that happen before w/ an incomplete activation but its not like it really matters because theres tethering mods n **** out there that enable it anyway so just had to give him a little bit of hell haha
so... i factory reset my phone and it never went thru the activation process again. when i tried to activate device in settings, it said it was already activated. i quit and just installed the cm nightlies and now have wifi tether but im curious as what the fix could be.
After activation the Sprint Zone app runs and installs all the sprint bloatware and base apps. If you didnt have sprint zone load and start installing those apps, or quit that process manually then you didnt finish full activation. If Sprint Zone failed to load after the factory reset I dont know what to tell you other than to do it again.

Sorry, I muffed on the app name.... I meant "Sprint ID" app, not Sprint Zone.
Edit: check /system/app/ folder for sprintzone.apk, sprintid.apk, and sprintinstaller.apk. They may be there.

Neither were there when I went through my apps before... However, I already installed CM or I'd look. maybe someone else with the problem can take a look and test it out? Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with CM for the time being and takes me forever to switch as I'm still learning.
