I am using damagecontrol 1.0 when i install sprint tv i get an erroryou must be a sprint subscriber to use this service. is there a way to set the phone to be sprint? sorry if this has been asked but searching dc 2500+ posts could not find.

I also noticed in SMS Settings that it is set to use wap.verizon for messaging should we set this back to a sprint server?

Same error message here. I can watch it for a limited amount of time, and then I get that error message. An uninstall and reinstall of sprint tv gets it working again, but only for a while (an hour or so?).
I checked settings/network, and it says my network is sprint there.

Pull your build.prop and replace "Verizon" with "Sprint." It's a little more complicated than that, but do a search, and you can find specific instructions.

I pulled my build.prop file. I don't see any mention of Verizon in there, only Sprint. I'm new to this, so I'm not clear on what these lines mean. Here are the lines containing Sprint.
ro.product.brand=sprint
ro.build.fingerprint=sprint/htc_heroc/heroc/heroc:1.5/CUPCAKE/85027:user/release-keys
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-sprint-us
Should there be more places I would find Sprint?

Try the instructions in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5873755&postcount=2450

Unfortunately that didn't work for me. I pulled my build.prop and made the changes. Do I need to clear the davlik cache after pushing the updated build.prop file back?

Is there a way to find out what your carrier specific info is? Mine is appalachian wireless in eastern ky.

Well, I am obviously a noob, but I have not got this figured out yet. I added:
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric 310120
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha Sprint
and pushed the file and my phone froze up halfway through the boot sequence. I tried booting into recovery and pushing the old build.prop file, but it still froze, so I used a nandroid backup.
I didn't have any lines that began ro.cdma.home, so I had to add those lines. Is there a specific place in the file that they have to go? I added them after
ro.cdma.privilege.timeout=120000
since it looked the closest, but frankly, I didn't know where they were supposed to go. I really appreciate the help. I'm still trying to do searches, but I can't find a specific thread that is a tutorial on editing build.prop. If there is one, I'd be really appreciative to anyone that can point me to it.
Thanks!

Hacking Sprint PRL. 3G without EVDO Coverage!

Hey everyone, after some research/testing ive been able to write a new PRL to the Hero! This means you can have 3G, even with no Sprint EVDO coverage!
THIS IS POSSIBLY DANGEROUS!! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IN ANYWAY FOR ANY LOSS OF PROPERTY OR MONEY! DO THE FOLLOWING AT YOUR OWN RISK. READ THIS ENTIRE THREAD BEFORE TRYING ANYTHING.
That being said, this is most likely frowned upon by sprint, so do so at your own ethical reason as well.
I did this with a stock, 2.1 hero; i have not tested it on anything else.
Insperation for it here, done on the evo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696073
Ive also found that i now almost ALWAYS have max bars.
What youll need:
HTC Hero Diag Drivers:
http://rs79.rapidshare.com/files/293529424/HTC_Hero_DIAG_Drivers.zip
CDMA Workshop:
http://www.cdma-ware.com/workshop/demo/cdma_workshop.rar
New PRL:
http://dana.ucc.nau.edu/add46/00001.prl
Start by installing the diag driver, as well as the normal hero drivers.
Then go to the dialer and enter ##DIAG#
Open CDMA Workshop, assign your COM port.
Press connect then read and verify the information on the left.
Finally, go to the "Other" tab, select write under "PRL" and choose your new prl
When you see the finished message, reboot your phone.
Go to settings and updated your data profile, then, enjoy!
To revert
Just update your PRL from Settings

I am leery, only 1 post!

Just got my hero today Replacement for that POS Samsnung Moment.
I guess you can wait till somebody tries it? I dont know.

No worries, Id do the same
Its not much different than the epics guide, except i use CDMA Workshop since ##prl# doesnt exist on the hero.

How is this any different that Techknowfiles PRLs that he created for using the old Alltell towers? I followed his thread for a long time and some of the PRLs he created worked ok, some did not. Did you actually create a new PRL, or is your 00001 the same as his?
Regardless, if at anytime this doesn't work, a PRL update through Device Self service will revert you back to a legit Sprint PRL...

If I'm not mistaken, this won't work if you're running cm/aosp based roms. You must use a sprint based rom, can anyone confirm this ?

Well, if you load up in a Sense-based ROM, it should stick when you go back to AOSP.

Yes , just like manually updating a prl. I meant you won't able to do this with cm/aosp

You can flash the PRL on CM/2.2, The problem is, you cant update your data profile. So you will need to revert to 2.1 to apply this.
And this is techs PRL file, you can use whatever one you want.

I'll give this a shot, post results later
not trying to steal OP's thread but there's a much easier way to do this:
1. obtain msl code (if you haven't already)
2. ##775# and enter msl code to access manual prl updating
3. select new prl to be updated
4. update profile and reboot
i remember when someone else cooked up the prl's 01337 and 31337, the results were random for me. no real coverage gained and they usually slowed down my speeds. it's fun to hack things though

thank you for linking that! i was trying to remember where that thread was but i gave up searching for it because it was late last night
obtaining msl is so much easier thanks to that thread!
as for the custom prl, i'm getting mixed results. this sort of hack is really hit or miss depending on your location. if you're trying it out, i suggest using it a whole day and see how your coverage is and probably try out some other prl's. the evo thread that is linked in the first post has a couple other prl's to try out.

OK hahaha... After I applied this PRL I barely get any data coverage, it stays at 1x the whole time
YMMV just because I'm having problems doesn't mean you guys will.

##PRL# doesnt work on any of the stock roms, also my method doesnt require you to find your MSL...
If your having any problems, MAKE SURE YOU UPDATE YOUR DATA PROFILE!
Also, you download the PRL on the computer.. not the phone.
Also, if you want your MSL, use "MSL Reader" from the market, its the easiest method.

Yeah I noticed that as well, stock didn't work so I flashed nfx's 2.1 sense rom. And I tried updating data profile but unfortunately it stayed the same.
Also I couldn't use cdma workshop (unless i wanted to run a VM or possibly wine) seeing as I'm running linux.
Only downside to the MSL Reader is that it requires root - not that that's really a problem for more than the majority of the people, but I could be one for those that stumble upon this thread using google or something.
But yes, you would be correct CDMA workshop does make this process relatively simple

Cricket fascinate to Verizon

Friend just bought a fascinate that was on cricket and he is on verizon. I flashed it back to stock Di01 but when he clicked activate upon boot it was still on cricket. What do ??

You will have to flash a verizon prl. Also make sure the settings in qpst revert back to verizon...especially the ppp configs. If it was properly flashed to cricket, flashing the modem alone won't do it. More them likely, all the settings will have to be corrected.

yep. you will need to enter all the VZN info that was removed to have it hooked up on cricket and you will also have to hope the phone isnt blacklisted on VZN's ESN list. if it is your friend will have a nice android MP3 player that he can play games on.

Is there a guide somewhere to putting all the VZN settings back in? And he said the guy said the ESN was good.

I'll check to see if I saved a file. Do you have a fascinate?
Don't have it anymore. But try grabbing and flashing this prl. Then *228 to see if it can activate. If it activates but you don't get net or mms, then let me know and I will walk you through it.

Ok...download the samsung drivers and a program called qpst. I hear Build 355 is out haven't had a chance to use that one but should be the same. Anyways, hook up your phone to qpst and switch it to dial up networking. Select add new port and find which port you hooked it up to. Name the port COMX (put the port # where x is). Under label name it usb. Hit enter then find the phone and click it. Then select service programming. Then go to the roam tab and then go down to the send file option select browse and locate the prl and then select flash to phone. Make sure it is a *prl and not a zip. Phone will reboot and then attempt *228. Im not infront of the computer but thats the gist. If you can't get it let me know and I will attempt a complete walkthrough. Im on my phone so it's a wee difficult.

Are you going back to vzw? If so, a *228 should fix it...if not let me know

after trying to port a rom from the epic, i realized that i forgot to remove their pst apps so it rewrote some values to my fascinate. calls/sms work but data only works sometimes and reboots the radio often. Im going to try flashing that prl file with qpst. if that doesnt work do you mind walking me through a possible way to fix data?

I would love to see a walkthrough on this ... i'm not really understanding how to get the dial-up networking to work since i cant even do anything but attempt to activate on roaming

Depending on what software you're on...dun can be accessed through the wirless network settings or **33284 ( Then enter spc 000000).
And actually I think I just figured out a simple way to get settings back to vzw. use qpst build 355 and input all the correct cdma info for verizon. And hit write to phone. The phones are prewired for three g only through vzw and that build of qpst will not be able to rewrite the settings so upon reboot the original vzw settings and password will reappear.

You can...it's just more work. And depending on the carrier, like sprint, requires you know someone that will add your flashed phone to the database. There are methods...but as they violate certain laws I cannot discuss on this forum. Since the fascinate is a verizon phone it's software is typically already hard wired for big red. So apn and nv values will revert upon incomplete programming. It's rather simple to flash a phone back to verizon.

I noticed this too. It shows WIND Home or WIND Away once you are connected to the network. But doing a network search still shows 302490 or Rogers Wireless.

confirmed
finally !!! we see the correct names
seems like enough people complained to google about it

Hey folks, so testing out data speeds on CM10.1 after flash and they're terrible! Ping is in the 300-600s and it keeps showing a "DC" symbol next to my signal bars, where the H+ and LTE symbol usually is. Any ideas?

Are you kidding me? The second link is to the CyanogenMod bug detailing exactly what the DC icon indicates. The title of the issue is: Add support for DCHSPAP. If you google that term, you'll find a better detailed description of what DC-HSPA+ is than what you'll get from someone on XDA.
Couldn't find any "real" info??
The #1 rule of XDA is search before posting. If you're sick of my "attitude", which literally consisted of me telling you to search (and searching for you), then maybe you're doing it wrong.
