Boost Mobile on HTC Touch Tethering Settings?

I got my HTC touch activated on boost mobile unlimited and i got the network to work, txt'n and calls, but cant seem to get the tethering to work on the BOOST CDMA NETWORK, and yes i get 3g speeds.
Any Ideas?

Got it working by doing this, and yes I HAVE A HTC TOUCH SPRINT ON BOOST CDMA MOBILE NETWORK
directions on how to tether a mogul,touch pro, touch diamond.snap or any other windows phone so here it goes
go to resco.com and download the trial version of registry editor and follow this path
Using a registry editor, make the following changes:
HKey_local_machine\Comm\InternetSharing
Delete this string: Extension - isext.dll
next delete this string aswell = forcecallconnection
Hkey_local_machine\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings\F orceCellConnection
once these strings are deleted the the phone will use the packet data settings for the internet sharing feature and boom no more error 67 when you are using the pam and you get a little better speeds because you are not using the third party app and it is free. when the trial version of resco expires your settings will remain the same and you can uninstall the registry editor and the pam will still work have any trouble let me know
BUT DO NOT DELETE ANY OTHER STRINGS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING THIS IS THE CORRECT SETTINGS FOR THE INTERNET ONLY . if you have any trouble let me know i will guide you threw the process

how do you get the internet to work on your boost phone?

yes its activated now. I can do video or what ever and its not the chip im suing the CDMA network. they have CDMA down south I have instructions. I've dont it 5 times for friends. I have picture mail, Tethering 3g EDGE, Great coverage unlimited for 50 dollars, EVERYTHING,
Its this simple here my simple 123 list
1 bought 60 dollars worth of minutes. you need 65 cause of activation fee. I got him to waive the fee.
2.get it activated BOOST CDMA ONLY, I USED MOTO c290 for BOOST. use it for a few hours. Use one of the the 13 states that have the service, if yours is not avail on the list dont try it, wont work. I USED FLORIDA NC,TX,CA work
3 call back with other phone get DEC using the back label or ##786# (new Phone)
4 They will give you your MSL code something like ##343456# change number and msid. it should reboot.
5 go to ##3282# and reset your network settings, if the net doesn't work, soft reboot twice. and boom. you got it working
This works on all SPRINT PHONES. Enjoy

Do you need to activate a boost cdma phone first
Do you need to activate a boost cdma phone on the account first and then call and change to the ESN of the HTC phone or can you activate the sprint phone on boost

Not working for me?
I completed all 5 steps, and the first 4 worked, but to use ##3282#, and tell it to reset the internet (mine says "Update Profile?"), when I do that it says:
"Preparing Vision Services, Please Wait..." then it Resets the Radio, and says "Error #1012 Provisioning Error.
It is trying to provision it connecting to Sprint with my Boost Mobile (@myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com) username... will that effect it? Phone and texting work, just no internet (haven't tested MMS yet

in order for the phone to provision you need your user name and password on the connection part(#777) should be something like [email protected] and you password should be a 6 digit one if you dont know the password try to just leave it blank.

yes you need to activate the phone first then do a ESN Swap, no way around it.

Do you see a reset? what you want is IOTA to begin when you restart the phone, by resetting the network profile. it will not effect anything but the internet. so everything should work.

In the ##3282# menu the only buttons I have are "Update Profile", "Modify", and "Next" which goes to another screen of data settings.
I am running a Palm Treo 800w... so it may be a little different. Palm seems to have tried to improve things, but right now the Provisioning/Activation screen that pops up anytime I try to access data is driving me nuts... I can send screenshots if u think that may help.

yea that could help there should be a soft key item that says reset. And BTW its windows mobile right?

You actually need the MIN and the MSID, both of which are provided by your carrier (MSID is your phone number if I'm not mistaken).

You can't find what on Resco?

Solution
The solutions that worked for me :
I did a ##3282# and put my 6-digit MSL code. From Menu --> Restore. This basically removed previous Sprint settings but did not put new Boost network settings.
I then went to Start --> Settings --> System tab --> Update Profile. This update took about 3 minutes and at end of which my web works on the device.
If I ever go into the ##3282# now, I see the Boost network connection settings!

No Hassle IDEN to CDMA Switch on Boost
I have read so much on these forums and other forums about how to get this accomplished until my eyes were crossed. So finally, I just said, "what the heck" let me just give boost support a call. Now, I have already been a boost IDEN customer for over a year. My phone was the Nextel 8350i. I used one of boost cheap phones to start my service back then and immediately went to activate my phone on boost website and the 8350i worked. Of course I had to copy the correct copy books and setting to get all of the functions to work on that phone.
Anyway, late last night, after midnight CST, I called boost support and told them I want to migrate my service from IDEN to CDMA. The rep never asked me what kind of phone it was, only for the DEC number. I gave her that and she switched my service. However, she told me that Boost was experiencing some technical issues and that my service wouldn't be on until the morning. This morning everything seemed to be working OK, not great and my text messaging was fully working. I called Boost and they told me it will take 48 to 72 hours for my text to work to other carriers, but it will work now on sprint, nextel and boost. I guess I will see if my text works in a few days, but besides that everything was pretty smooth. I can't believe that after all the reading and all the things these forums are telling people, I can't believe it was so simple.

if you have a 8350i you have idem and will be idem for ever.you only get cdma service with a cdma phone.

Works Treo Pro on Boost Mobile USB tether
Well I followed the instructions and performed the following steps and it works for me.
1. Download PHM Registry Editor (ver 0.70 I think was the one most found)
2. Change the word (ForceCellConnection) to (OldForceCellConnection) in the selected internet sharing directory. Yes the file comes back, but I think this somehow releases the ghosting/menu drop down selections.
DIRECTORY WAS HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/INTERNET SHARING/SETTINGS
3. Went into the folder right above that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/INTERNET SHARING/ and deleted all the files in that folder.
4. Pulled the battery.
5. Went into PROGRAMS/INTERNET SHARING
6. Set up the modem to work either usb and bluetooth with my laptop.
Tested the tether speed today and it came back 1.93 Mbs download and 0.51Mbs upload. bluetooth was a little slower.

My OLD phone was a 8350i, my new phone is a Sprint HTC Touch Pro, and I just called Boost and told them I wanted to switch from iDEN to CDMA and they switched me without issue.

HTC Touch Pro 2 boost USB tethering
The steps above removed the "Error 67" and the computer sees the phone as a modem. But the phone status hangs for ever on "Waiting for network".
Thank you all for the previous threads. Is there something new I should do in order to have tethering?
Thanks again.
Note: I don't want WiFi tethering, only USB to computer tethering.

Flashed droidx to cricket. 3g works but now no voice??? help?!?

It's weird.. I finally got data to work but if i try to call out it just has a busy signal and if i try to call the phone it goes to voice mail.. wtf?

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

ok, so its been awhile since i have been on xda. i just got my hands on a droid x yesterday and have spent pretty much 8-12 hrs trying to figure out how the **** to flash it to cricket. can u pls post or redirect me to a site that has good instructions oon how to flash it. and yes befoore u start flaming me i have been through xda, ppcgeeks, howard forums, and droid forums. everythbing so far has been crap. i feel like a lost puppy damnit. pls help...

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?

not sure why the other person hasnt answered but I would like some help with the same issue. I can talk and text fine via the PRL change. 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.

Virgin swap, Kyocera Jax to HTC Evo 4g

hey everyone, i think this is only my second post. Heres what im up to
have VM/Assurance Wireless on Kyocera Jax. Have and older HTC Evo i used on Sprint but hasnt been connected to their network for like a year
Im trying to swap out all the info so i can basically use the Evo instead of the Jax
I have cdma worshop, qxdp, etc
Problem is with getting the required info off of the donor phone, the Kyocera Jax. It seems that Virgin disables the usb data connection before shipping. You connect the phone with usb to a computer, and nothing happens. Device Manager doesnt even show a port. So like i said, it seems well known that Virgin disables their cheaper phones usb data connection
Ive tried unlocking the Kyocera by pressing 1111111, then hitting service. It asks for a password, most likely the spc/msl. However, people are saying these phones dont even have an spc/msl to avoid doing what im trying to do.
did write down a code from when i activated the phone, and it might be of use ##847446#
This allowed me to get into programming, but there was no option to allow data to the usb or anything else like that, it just shows me the MDN and MSID
The ##847446# code does not work when you hit 111111 and go to service when it asks for security code
It only works when you are dialing a number like you normally would
Whats the deal?
How can I activate the usb data port? What can i do to get info off the phone in order to switch over to the Evo if CDMA Workshop and Device Manager arent even showing any activity when the phone is connected via usb to the computer????

well i called Virgin trying to get an msl...they said they dont have them, that Kyocera has the msl. Went to the Kyocera site, it said to contact Virgin. Ugh. So nobody wants to give up the msl.
Virgin DOES disable the usb data connection on these phones. How do I enable it???
I cant really do this until i can get the info i need from the donor Kyocera phone...it has a usb connection but they disable it so you cant do **** like this i guess
I just want to use talk and text on my Evo by switchng the info from the Kyocera Virgin gave me with the Evo ,i do NOT care about data or 3g

still working on this one

I am not sure about Virgin but with Boost to get talk and text working you only need meid, mdn, and msid, then make the phone OTA program. As I said I do not know if it will work the same for Virgin as it does Boost but since they are on the same towers anyways I imagine not alot of settings should have to be changed. Hope this helps!

thanks mate! Well i have the mdn and msid...and i think the meid is actually on the battery...so i may just be in business!!! i think today is the day!!!

things arent going that well
the only thing i need for an OTA is the msl from my Evo. I cant connect the phone to CDMA workshop because there is something funky with the HTC DIAG driver install. I have the inf to make it show as htc usb modem but when i try to update the driver in order for CDMA workshop to work it says theres no devices that meet that software need
my other try to get the msl was with a terminal emulator. this process did not work either
im now going to try to root my phone, never rooted, not sure what will happen, and then i can run the msl reader application in the play store

Did you press ##3424# before trying to read evo with cdma ws?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

This is really becoming a nightmare. I cant tell you how many things ive had to download just to be able to root my phone, which is what ive decided to do in order to get my msl...after im rooted i will be able to use the msl reader from the app store.
ive never thought about rooting before, and im wondering if im going to lose all my data, such as contacts, everything. Will I? Im using the htcdev method and it may be easy to some of you but i swear all i do is see more and more links to files or programs i need to have first.
all i want is my msl
Called Sprint 1 to 5 times today trying to get my msl from them...but since the account has been cancelled for like a year due to payment, for some reason are unable to see the msl
They were more than happy to ask for an address to which they could send the bill for 250 bucks though

i did not! i shall try. probably what stumped me. After that ill keep tinkering. Thanks for being there klown!
im also new to the board so when i hit multiquote i thought that was to quote you in a reply so i think i need to delete like 5 multiquote mishaps

i cant really explain, it all happened so fast....the reason my HTC DIAG drivers were not working is because i didnt try the x86 option. I am now succesfully connected to CDMA workshop. Now to find the msl!!!!!! i should be able to find it with CDMA WOrkshop right?
edit WTF it says 0000 for spc
and there is an option to set it on or off. which do i choose? also an option to write it...just make it all zeros?
and should i still do ota or should i use cdma workshop? or use the virgin thread method?

got the correct spc from CDMA workshop. Now, when I open QPST, it doesnt even show my phone. Typed ##3424# before connecting, then connecting to CDMA workshop first, then opening QPST, but QPST will simply not read/see my phone. Are there specific drivers for QPST?

no, just connect it to the port your phone is on.
if you don't know the port, then you can find it through device manager, or you can just try connecting to ports in cdma until you find the right port, and then add the port in qpst

im now on the last step ....using this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30756751&posted=1#post30756751
if you go to the last page i have a few posts about whats going on. Ive come very far. Sadly this last step with QXDM is simply not working... can verify that the meid is now cleared out...what i cant do is write the new/correct meid

if you go to the last page i have a few posts about whats going on. Ive come very far. Sadly this last step with QXDM is simply not working... can verify that the meid is now cleared out...what i cant do is write the new/correct meid
also, the method/thread over there doesnt say anything about that three letter word that starts with an E

that gets populated automatically when you enter the meid

thanks again for all the help mike and klown and everyone!!!!
oay heres where im at now...currently connected to cdma and have verified MEID and the "E something something" have been changed correctly!!!!!!!!!
now the question is, do i just unplug the phone and try to make a call? Reboot the phone? Save it all to a file and load that at startup or something?
Or is this pretty much it?
I have a feeling the meid and e something something will zero out again as soon as i disconnect from the computer.
Also, i followed all the steps properly...and was never prompted to enter any MDN or MSID data...so that data has not been applied. Does it need to be??
edi wait wait....my DIAG TX for e something something reads all zeroes, while the DIAG RX is correct. The RX and TX are the same for the meid
okay the big moment has arrived...just restarted it waiting to boot...and i found out i needed to # my msl then change the mdn and msid. fingers crossed
errr im getting an error 16

alright i get an error 16 when i call out, i guess is from Sprint? I cant have them reset anything because my account has been inactive for like a year.
i can receive calls oddly...the phone lights up for a second then goes dark....but the phone sure does tell me that i missed a call
just tried texting to the phone, nothing yet. I thought i could use sms but maybe the evo only uses mms???

Not sure if it is the same on VM as it is on Boost, but to fix the error 16, just log in to your acct online and look for an option to update handsets. Simply swap out handsets then swap right back, that is the quickest way to fix error 16 with Boost, maybe it will work with VM?

error 16 isn't a really big deal, it means that you had both phones on at the same time. What you should do is take the battery out of your kyocera and never turn it on again.
I got error 16 as well the first time I flashed, I had the phone turned off but with the battery still in it and got the error.
Error 16 is easy to fix follow this forum post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290906
Inside of that post will be a phone number to call to reach sprints "Error 16 Call Center" they'll ask you some questions about YOUR VIRGIN MOBILE INFORMATION, your account name, what kind of phone you have, yada yada yada. Just give them all your information, but only for your KYOCERA and VIRGIN account, don't mention that you flashed your phone or anything, just give them the info from your account and from your kyocera phone.
They'll get you working within, like, 20 seconds.
It's not like boost where you can fix it on the website.

Thanks for sharing your trial and error on this! I'm getting ready to try the same thing, except on a Samsung Galaxy SIII. I've got the Kyocera JAX that I'm pulling the information from but I would like to use the data functions as well (Assurance offers the Virgin Mobile unlimited everything for $30/mo, absolutely worth the money if it works). I rooted it first thing, then unlocked it and now I'm just trying to make sure I've got all of the info I need before I start making real changes on the Galaxy.
BTW - I've heard that Virgin does offer 4G data and I'd love to be able to access that since I won't be able to take advantage of the LTE capabilities of this really sweet piece of electronic indulgence. Any advice or information is gratefully accepted.

kyocera diag mode
get the msl from virgin. tell them you can reprogram your phone and if you cant your just thinking about changing to another carrier. if your a good customer they will give it up.
on the kyocera type ##3424# then enter your msl(spc) its 6 digits......
from there your phone will show usb/diag on off....
good luck trying to read it with anything. i tries a kona a coast and some other cheap phone and managed to get this far and connected etc but they will not read.
Good luck. if you figure something out let me know

[Q] evo 4g in vz prepaid, no dmu key??

so, i was with cricket using an evo 4g.
I flashed the phone, (also 3 droids x2, and a thunderbolt for different people, btw friends and family).
Right now Im working on a area where cricket hardly covers.
I found out on ebay about the verizon prepaid unlimited... saw the videos... I thought i could do it, but my months with cricket was up and couldnt bear it anymore.
I contacted a local guy and .. i had to pay for the verizon flash. Being out of time and working long hours didnt give a chance to find out by myself.
(actually somehow i messed with the phone and i ended up roaming all the time, and when i asked that guy for the prl (wich i found out to be straightalk) he female doged me a lot, after several messages of being nice to him and convincing him that i simply needed a few kb file, he sent it, and I got it back to regular speed)
(he also didnt set me up with mms, i came here until i finally got it)
Anyways I'm really happy with verizon , it's really fast , 20mb in less than 2 minutes!!!, wow!!,,, BUT the evo its pretty messed up, and I got in my hands an S2 from sprint.
Now I simply want to take the info off the evo and put it into the galaxy s2,
But the only problem that i see ,is that the EVO does not have a DMU key file!!!
I checked in dfs and qpst
And i always check, double check, google and hours and days go by until i ask for help.So i honestly dont wan to pay him again, to connect a phone and copy paste the settings, and as i mentioned before hes not that savy, he couldnt enter diag mode in my evo, because i had go dial, and he freaked and installed another rom, see what i mean???? he couldnt get into diag mode!
So I doubt this guy has everything organized and pretty to have files and info for the phone he does, but even if he is, i dont even want to see him.
So another question is, how is the evo working in vz without a dmu key file?
thanks in advance, and please only respond useful stuff, if youre going to say idk...", why dont you talk to the guy..", just save your thoughts (i hope this doesnt sound mean but, man!, the people you find in forums can really give you headaches)

It looks like your are going to need a reflash with another or the same donor. Contact your flasher about it

the basic phone is the donor?
If so, what do you call the vz smartphone?
Can i use a sch i100 verizon phone for the flash process,?
i saw on the myverizon webpage an option to change device, it simply asks you for a new meid, i simply get a new meid and flash it.to a 3g verizon, right?

Fashed galaxy s 2 without DMU key!!
So , I ordered a cheap 3g vz phone. It's gonna take some time to arrive, so I decided to pre-flash the s2.
I started with DFS doing the meid, data and user profiles.
I found out I had voice n text .
then tried messing with the setting on the phone tru data menu , no go, tried apnbackup , it was not possible either.
looking at my evo settings in DFs, reading and re-reading the guide, I noticed in DFS where you put the AAA and HA passwords below there are two DMU value boxes, and the evo pictures had some numbers on it.
so i re-reflashed the phone doing the nv items file, couple of OTA programming and setting the profiles in qpst again until i got 1x data speed,
so i re-did everything over and over and this last time I click in DFS , THE WRITE CURRENT PROFILE SETTINGS button, in the two profiles and entered the DMu values over and over.
And it worked, but before that i was on rooted xx13 rom and then upgraded ota, but it messed up the flash, so before flashing for the last time, i simply wiped everything and installed latest rom rooted.
I got decent speeds and mms is solved by using go sms, (theres 2 places where you put the vzw address) and trying to go into the data menu on the phone didnt work. And for you tube I did the 0.0.0.0 trick, but it doesnt show the zeroes, only the sprint proxies. but youtube works regardless.
I hope this post helps somebody.

VZW Activation

I bought VS995 phone slightly used. Upon getting the phone I used the Dirty Santa Root and Bootloader unlock method. I finally got around today to going to VZW and getting a new SIM and activating it on my current line. Activation kept failing. It was at the point where everything entered fine on their end , but on the phone it took about 5 minutes before giving the activation unsuccessful message. Has anyone encountered this issue? Rooting and unlocking the bootloader before activating it with a new SIM card? They were having problems with their activation servers this morning and said that since it's a new SIM it could be getting hung up with their server issue. I'm going to try tonight from my house. But was curious if I need to take any extra steps to get it activated. If my note 3 had a nano SIM card in it, I would have just been able to swap without an issue.

this should work, talk and text will instantly activate once you manually program, then its just getting it to update for lte / data

Reference for my post to manual activate the V20 ( sprint and vzw )
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/help/manual-program-sprint-ls997-v20-t3557676
youll be searching for .iot.vzw_only or just iot.vzw
this should allow you to manually put in your ptn and msid, thus getting talk and text wokring, data should be off the lte sim.

Nothing maybe. Try a diff one. You would need root for this app also if you didnt know that. But click on each one that's likr the iot.cdm one or look for the NAM programing one directly. What your trying to do is launch the hidden menue app and get into manual programing. Do you have the sprint one's on your phone? Type SPRO .. Anything show up?

Nothing for SPRO. I found the cdma preferences one in the hidden menu when I searched for VZW, but my 3 options once i launch that are Band preference, P_REV Preference and EVDO Preference

I do have an option that is checked under my apns in the networks menu for VZW internet. But obviously can't edit it. I assume that is ultimately where I need to end up.

Ultimately your trying to remove the programing from phone.. And or re program it on vzw. Did you try calling *228?

I was finally able to restore my phone to stock via uppercut and LG up. Got it activated on VZW today as well. Tomorrow I will set out to root again amd unlock the bootloader again. Thanks for your help. Have you encountered any Bluetooth issues with the phone? For some reason the phone won't recognize my car. Its a 2016 Honda. The phone will recognize other Bluetooth devices though. Just curious.
