Yes before anything you need to add the ESN to metro servers.

How does one add the ESN to the metro servers?
I do this professionally, and you must pay to have the esn added, I can do the flash remotely text me via 727 237 5609!
I'll talk you through it.
I need to know a convincing argument to get him to not be pissed. I actually got my phone from him and it was under warranty, I was just sick of not being able to do everything I want to.
Can you guys help me out?
hahaha nice...
just tell him you can always unroot if needed
If or when it screws up, flash the official HTC RUU and then it's back to normal. They don't know if it's rooted or not, if they want to see it flash the RUU.

If he is worried about the warranty, you can always go back to the Spring software by running the RUU from the Sprint/HTC website and the phone will return to the Out-of-Box state... so no worries there.
On the other hand, install a custom ROM (aospCMod) and show him the difference on what all you can do with the phone... as compared to the Sprint software.
My dad doesnt even know what is a smartphone hahaha hes on his old nokia n95 lool.

Your question has already been answered, just run the RUU to get it back to factory state and magically the warranty's back in effect. What exactly is he pissed about? It's kind of hard to help you devise some type of argument if we don't really know what he's saying since you can undo what's been done. Hmmm...maybe try telling him to stop being such a girl about things and grow a set(no offence to any hermaphrodites who've rooted their phones). If he/she doesn't, refer to my previous drunk post

Tell your Dad that when you master new technology, you are improving your skills and knowledge so that you will be able to secure a well paying job. Tell him that when you do secure that job, YOU will buy HIM a nice new phone!
Try this, used to shut my dad up and leave him pissed with this one:
"When you can explain what I've done wrong and why its wrong, you're a good parent. If you can't explain what I've done wrong you're probably just feeling threatened by my intelligence and natural talents."

run the ruu, show him it is all back to normal, then flash whatever you want, but this time don't tell him about it.
I thought I answered it in the second post? Lol.

Take a lesson from this and never let YOUR kids gain the precious knowledge they will someday use to make you feel obsolete.

52341, 52299, 58008 and Verizon Alltel Hybrid PRL.zip are all new PRL's.
These are for testing.
For all the babies out there who don't like my posts, get a life and go join another forum! Most members would like to have the information out there to research and test. I love this forum and have learned alot from it. Although I've noticed you can't give a little credit to people without them still bitc**** about not getting all of it so none will be given any more.
Anyway, enough of my ranting.
Techknowfile's PRL's are quite old now. They still work, but will not have the most up-to date towers and channels.
I live in eastern ohio and use the 52341.prl.
Step #1: Download and unzip
Step #2: Follow Techknowfile's instructions for flashing. Here is his thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696073
Step #3: Test and Enjoy!
Step #4: Give me some Love
The 5XXXX PRLs are strictly Verizon/Alltel PRLs, the SprintVZWPRL is a PRL that was designed for Verizon guys that wanted to roam on Sprint. Which is sweet for us Sprint users that want to use Verizons/Alltels towers but swich back to Sprint if there is no service.
P.S. - These PRLs DO show when your roaming. Please post your speed results and which PRLs work best for you so others can benefit. Use at your own risk, some have been terminated for roaming too much. These are being posted for testing purposes only, dont come crying to me if Sprint whacks your fingers!
FOR ME
Reserved for later.
Could you explain the difference between each prl file please. Looks interesting. Might have to try this out. Is there a speed difference?
Not trying to troll, but you should put a disclaimer in the op that with continuous use of non sprint prl will result in contract being terminated..
There are reports of this in the general thread and on android central. Just a thought so no one starts blaming you or any other member who post these Verizon prl's. Lol they will go on a witch hunt... ha ha

OMG! Thanks. I was going to do some research over spring break on compiling my own PRL, or finding some verizon ones.
I hope one of these works for me!

Yeah I'm a firm believer in C.Y.A. Not trolling just a friendly reminder to OP. Thanks for the work on this, I'm going to try the verizon/sprint one.
I assume this has to be applied while on a sense rom? And if applied while on sense and i nandroid back to cm7 do i lose the new prl? or would it stick if i just flashed cm7 over sense instead of using nandroid?

sweet ! will keep this bookmarked
Man thx i get horrible service where i live and i hope this verizon\sprint one will help me out.
So wait is it right to say by loading these you can use both sprint and vzw towers to get your cell service?
downloading now
Mine only works for phone service. Still connects to Sprint's data, except 999ms ping, instead of 300.
;(
Tried every prl out 2 times and speed tested 3 times each time.

excellent post.... I will look through my prls and see if I have anything you don't have posted and share what I have
The best method of using these is to only use them when you have to... but teto
These have saved me at work where I have no sprint 3g or 4g at all...
at home and other areas I use wifi or 4g
I download the sprint/verizon prl and when I opened the folder there isn't anything in it? Anyone else have this issue?

Yep, dude. It's been talked about in other threads too. It's the "man" trying to keep a brother down again.
My friend put my epic on Boost and it works fine. I want to give my phone to my sister but I must put it back to Sprint.
I googled and search but I only see Sprint to Boost but not Boost to Sprint.
Its my phone and ESN is clean.
How do I do that?
Can anyone help please thanks
So you didn't write down the settings that u changed?

Couldn't you just Odin flash to the stock ROM and kernel? It should restore all Sprint settings back. Just need to re-register the ESN to Sprint.

Roms, kernels, and modems don't modify provisioning data. I can confirm this with my modified Epic on a $30 SERO plan. This also goes for the MEID, which isn't a legitimate Epic 4G MEID on his Boost-activated Epic. He's going to have to use Google and his brain to repair his meid so it matches what's on the sticker underneath the battery
...or just find someone on craigslist to do the repair instead.

+1, once you fix your MEID, you'll want to odin to EC05, and upgrade to EI22, once your epic is activated again, hands free activation will provision the rest of the needed info.

It's what comes up once you do a Factory Reset on EI22, System Update.apk will initiate it. You'll need to activate that Epic with Sprint before that hands-free activation will work, you also need to fix your MEID if it was changed when you had it with boost.

Has anyone actually done this? I ask because in the 3g thread, it has been said that if you lose one of the keys, it cannot be restored and is needed for provisioning.
If someone gets this to work without saving and restoring the original profile passwords, please let us know here.

If you're on the correct rate plan for the phone, Hands-Free Activation/Update Profile will plug in all the necessary data values granted the MEID is the correct one registered to that account.

That's exactly what Hands-Free provisioning will provide. Given that you restore that Epic's ORIGINAL MEID, as stated time and time again to you. Lol

You seem like the person to ask with as much knowledge as you know about phones and all the work you've created; good grief. I am stuck with Sprint and cant leave until next year without paying ETF; long story short; get terrible service and have airave (only works half the time and have 3 replacements-sprint does not want to address to issue; and me being on a SERO account probably doesn't help either) but someone in a different thread mentioned about a sprint diagnostic tool that you can use to force your phone to Roam verizon towers and get the boot rather quickly from sprint; unfortunately he said it was only for samsung devices; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774503

Sprint will boot you and terminate the contract with no etf if you do it enough. Not that I would condone such a thing.
I didn't know if there was such a tool that could work for the evo shift that you knew of since you work with other devs and know A LOT about A LOT of stuff. I searched google a bit then headed over here of the forums, but couldnt find much in regards to it for my phone. thanks in advance

I thought the PRL would need to be changed to something different; I will give Roam Control a go and keep in Roaming...thanks
No you don't need to change your prl. Also, Several Shift ROMs like newSENSE Supreme Sense and StockMod have roam only as an option built in so you don't have to buy roam control if you don't want too.
