unflash from cricket back to sprint - EVO 4G General

I have acquired an evo that was flashed to cricket.
I wiped everything, flashed to fresh 3.5, reflashed fresh 3.5 radios and pri. However it still says mycricket.com on lock screen and dialer. If I manually program it, it will make calls but I must use the area code. It will also receive texts but keeps giving error 78 and no data will work. Also the mobile network is stuck in the"turning on"position.
How can I get this phone to fully activate on sprint again? Thanks.
Ps the correct esn is on my account and the msl they gave me works.

Not positive here,,but I think if you run the Sprint RUU for 3.70 then reroot,,it may get things set right for you,,good luck

2.1 Released in Alaska What should I do?

So 2.1 finally came out for Alaska Carriers ACS and AK Digitel/GCI.
I have already rooted my phone using the pre-release sprint ruu and have been enjoying app2sd and oc. But I really would like to have mms, is there a way to push the mms info from the official ruu to my phone? MMS is more important to me then having app2sd and oc. I am pretty sure I won't be able to root my phone if I go to the official 2.1.
I am still new and I was just wondering if that would even be possible. And if it is how I can go about to trying it.
I too am in AK, and on acs. Not worried about mmsc just yet. Release isn't even a day old. Be patient co-padawan learner the force is strong with us . No really we have people on our network working on that cuz they want it to and have tools and know how that you an me don't seeeee? We need to be patient, its gonna happen.

There's something I saw around here that extracts the rom.zip from the update. Use that and flash the rom.zip in recovery. Then, flash Jus10o's build of Toast's kernel, and voila! MMS, Overclock, and root.
Here is ACS mmsc server:
"http://mmsc1.acsalaska.net/servlets/mms"
I haven't gotten this working yet though.
here is acs radio update as a signed zip that i made:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=351840&d=1277837589
and here is ACS rom.zip (renamed for users putting on sd to update a stock phone)
"http://apexalaska.com/HERCIMG.zip"
the rom.zip contains a recovery img and radio updates, when flashed from recovery will it ignore these?

I don't think it will ignore them. Pretty sure it needs rebuilt, rooted and SU added before things we are used to work right. Personally still awaiting the 2.1 RUU from my carrier (Appalachian Wireless) before I dive in and try all this out for myself. I could be wrong but I wouldn't just go and flash it.
Alright guys, no promises but I've been wanting to start dev'ing for the Hero.
Give me a list of what you want, and I'll see what I can whip together.
btw, the update for "acs" and "gci" are the same update file, exactly the same number of bytes! also digging through it there are images for several lower 48 carriers, so i think its the same update for ALL non sprint carriers. when i did an apn backup from a phone with the RUU applied i got 38 different values!
as far as what to see from a rom based off this release? deodexed and SU with a overclock kernel should be good. really anything else can be added in after install to suit tastes.
So I followed this tutorial to get try and get mms working on my phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5252563&postcount=72
I was able to send one mms so far but the person that receives it gets 9071111111 as the phone number.. Anyone know how to fix this?
It also looks like I am unable to receive any mms messages
who is your carrier? What ROM are you using? I'm on ACS and have tried the mmsc settings with Zen, Buufed and the sprint deodexed rom all with no success at all with sending, at least yours is going through.
I have been unable to receive mms messages on my hero since the day I bought it, long before rooting. You can try a *228 option 2 update and see if that fixes it, can try calling your carrier about it (just don't bring the phone into them, only over the air stuff) I haven't cared enough to do much about receiving since I cant send.

I am under GCI/Ak Digitel, I am currently using Zen. I did finally receive an mms 4 hours later but I had to go to the website to view it.
I also have been getting horrible signal since the 2.1 update came out. My girlfriend has the same problem and she actually did the official update.
I also used mmsc server "http://mmsc.akdt.dataonair.net/" mmsport "6672" in my settings
digitel is always horrible signal they may have done a PRL update at the same time as their 2.1 update and perhaps they messed up the list? is your prl version the same as hers?

that's odd that it went down in version number. Do you have your original prl from when you rooted? try restoring that prl and see if it helps. I've only worked on ACS phones so I don't have a copy of digitel's prl to offer you.

I actually lost the original prl I had when my harddrive died on my old xp computer.
Have you tried *228 option 2 like ipfreelytech suggested to get prl update, I don't know crap about AK/digitel and don't mean to butt in on you guys. I had to go back to a sense Rom and use that same guide which worked very well to get mms in/out working.

*228 doesn't do anything on my phone or girlfriends
Just so I understand, when you dial *228 and push call it doesn't do anything? I'm asking cuz I want to try and help too bud.

just comes back as not completed as dialed on both phones.
My phone is rooted running Darchdroid v2.7(I just switched to it)
Girlfriend's phone is official 2.1 from our carrier(GCI/AK Digitel)
Do you have a friend with a stock phone running new update on your carrier that you could qpst a new prl backup from?

prl = preferred roaming list
another words tells the phone what towers to use
so, thanks for the post, got it updated. For those who don't already know you need to flash a sense rom (I recommend nfx stock sprint - see reason later), and update your prl and profile in the settings/about phone. Now, an update, when I nanded to nfx sprint most recent and did the update to both profile/prl, it ALSO updated my market from 2.2.6 to 2.2.7 !!! just thought you all should know
ok i got it here it is
if download; don't forget to hit thanks button please

No you have to either use CDMA Workshop or flash a sprint Sense rom
Doing it via a sprint rom:
Copy the PRL file to the root of your microSD card
Dial ##775# on the handset and enter the MSL code when prompted for password
Tap on Update PRL
If it read your microSD card correctly your PRL file should be listed in the bottom half of the screen to select
Select your PRL and click OK
Press the MENU button and tap on Commit Modifications (which will reboot the phone)
Get your MLS either using a market app or my logcat method (see sig) and you're all set
I also want to add that when you manually update your PRL, it will go much much faster if your sdcard has a smaller amount of files on it. If I try to update with my 8gb card that has numerous files it takes forever to search through my card vs my old 2gb with only the PRL file on it.
I cannot get into ##775# or even ##DATA#. I type them on the dialer but nothing happens. Hitting the call button just tries to call that number. Is this an AOSP issue? I'm using AOSP 0.9.9.2.

I'm pretty sure those codes only work on Sense ROMs, particularly the stock Sense dialer.
Prl codes only work on other roms such as nfx hero for somerrason on the stock sprint rom it wouldn't do it

Thanks and c00ler too. So what would be the best way to get the new prl on my phone?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I would load one of nfxs roms or load your sprint default rom u can still do prl updates in settings/ updates then update your prl that's how I did it

Just tryin to save everybody a headache here,but the ##775# code at least on my phone does not work .I believe I remember reading in Nfinite's thread (.7 &.2 updates that they took that code out,feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)so I keep a nandroid of a .6 ver.of nfinite's rom on my card to flash if I want to change my PRL back. I'm running LiquidSolstice's .7 ver. of Nfinite's Rom and the ##3282# works. Like I said feel free to correct me.Happy Holidays everybody!
I'm thinking about updating but is it worth the headache? What would I gain?

How do I flash back to Sprint?

I've got a Sprint HTC Evo that was flashed to work with Cricket. What do I have to do to get it back to working for Sprint? I talked to Sprint and the ESN is clean so no issues there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I really don't know, but I would think running ruu on desktop may set it back completely stock.

flashing any non criket rom should do the trick

Thanks.
I downloaded the RUU it ships with, thanks to ppcgeeks:
RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15. 00.07.28_NV_1.40_release_140444_signed.exe
File Size: 193Mb
And got HTC Sync from htc.com. Now all I need to do is use the Sync to put the RUU on the phone?
Is there any best way to do this or pitfalls I should watched out for?
Jim
I think you will just put the file in the root of your SD...then boot to fastboot. It should automatically scan for the ruu.
Well, yes the ruu will probably be cleanest way to go so, yes your right. I'm a MAC user so I know nothing of HTC Sync but it won't hurt to install it and then run the ruu. I would go with the newest ruu. But really, any for the evo will go perfect. Also, just to be extra clean with it, wipe everything in your recovery before. And so you know, the new unrevoked works with all current evo versions. And another note, if you plan on keeping the phone rooted but want to run the ruu, flash unrevoked forever (before you run the ruu) and you won't loose root no matter what until you flash unrevoked s-on(unrooter.)
XDA's evo development section has a thread which has all of the ruu's for the evo.

Where should I get the latest RUU? I just tried to run the one I got from ppcgeeks and it errored out.
It gave "ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR"
I connected it through HTC Sync and ran the RUU from my desktop on my PC
I'm going to try the 3.3 RUU from shipped-roms and see if that works.
For reference the HBOOT on my EVO is 0.97.0000
probably need to flash radio and wimax also.
I thought the RUU handled the radio and wimax? I thought that the fact that it had _Radio_ in the title of the RUU meant it handled it? No?
If not, then how to I flash those?
UPDATE:
The 3.3 RUU installed just fine, and during the process it said "Updating radio...". Now let's see if it will activate [fingers crossed]
Some include all 3 and some are just the phone rom. I use Sprint Lovers. He shows 2 versions to download.
I am in the same situation, I have tried everything to get it back on sprint to no avail. Anyone else have some more options? I am un-rooted and back to stock, but still cant get data to go through on this damn phone.

My evo gets stuck at 3282

My evo gets stuck on ##3282# on stock 4.12 i cant get into edit mode or anything im a noob at this would anyone be able to help?
You need to be on a Sense ROM or nandroid back to Stock/Rooted

its stock 4.22 i messed up on the 4.12 its should be 4.22
And if you're gonna do a ##data you need an msl. If its provisioning related, do a ##scrtn. That will knock the provisioning out completely and make the phone start up and hands free activate. Just make sure you're in good Sprint PCS coverage. Doesn't work if you're roaming.

Cant do ESN swap on rooted evo 4g

Doing a chat with sprint to try and complete an ESN swap.
Evo 4g and IP4s.
so the agent attempted the esn swap and neither went thru so far.
Started working on the evo first.
Cant get the dialer to dial in the code:
##XXXXXX#
X's are replaced by a code they gave me.
Rebooted the phone, ect.
Rooted with latest fresh and using the stock dialer.
Looks like we will have to do a hard reset.
Any other tips?
Damn! Chat w sprint got disconnected.
Are you on a sense rom?
My knocked up EVO
You need to be on a stock sense sprint rom to be able to use all of those dialer codes.
Thanks guys!
I am on the latest Fresh rom.
Can you please direct me to a good sense rom?
TIA!
Just use a rooted version of the latest stock rom.
this made me laugh. yeah just use a Sense rom.. You wont be able to do this on a ASOP
ONLY SENSE has the EPST app required... As I recall it.
Other phones don't have it because its probably copyrighted.

It's actually because it's much more complicated to add than you think.
They were working on trying to incorporate this functionality into AOSP [the same way the Nexus S 4g does]...still not done. [Not sure if it will ever be, I heard the person that was working on it is on a hiatus]
Any ideas as of why my EVO wont let get into the data programing screen dialing ##3282#? I can get DIAG MODE (##3424#) to come on, but the ##3282# wont work anymore.
I'm running "barebones_evo_4g_467_deodex_012112_signed.zip" witch is a stock rooted rom I installed earlier and cant get the dialer to get me the ##3282# screen...
...any ideas as of why?
