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?

okay so here is the question i have just bought a sprint htc hero i am going to flash it to metro pcs service... my question is this does anyone know if i flash it to metro pcs would me changing the roms as often as i do with my mt3g affect the flash of the service??? the reason i ask is becuse i work for metro and i know with the samsung instinct or even blackberrys if you upgrade the os after you have flashed the service you lose the flash.... understand?
I could be wrong on this but I dont belive it will affect it. With the BB and instinct if you change the OS you are actually UPGRADING the OS ie. 4.3 to 4.5. but when flashing a rom onto a hero you are not so much upgrading the OS as much as changing and tweaking it a bit.
Once again I could be wrong but thats what I think to be the case.
unless of course we get a fully working 2.1 going then the situation could be different.
thanks for your input
actully that does make sense but then agin when we flash our roms we do full wipes and alot of files and things that make the phone tick change well not change but they are reset everytime are they not? meanin that w.e i do has to be done agin in theroy being that i wiped the phone? and another question while im acting as a noob lol witch roms work with the cdma hero the same ones as the other hero phones? or only the two i saw in this section of the forum?

I am not a cell phone genius by any means, but I am pretty sure the way you move the Hero to another carrier is to change the PRL. Flashing our roms does not mess with the PRL as far as I know.

as they said DO NOT FLASH GSM ROMS!!
if you do you will brick your phone. for CDMA you have several different options. just check out the stickie wki at the top. also I forgot that Kcarpenter was right I belive you just change the PRL even if that is not the case, when you do a data wipe you are not reflasing back to stock all it does is erase all the user settings. anthing that is in the codeing for the phone remains.
edit: BTW the only roms you have to do a wipe with are the AOSP 1.6 the 2.1 v1.8-7 and the AOSP 2.0.1 the others should just flash over stock without any issues. I personally use Fresh 1.1 with the modaco kernel (love the setup very fast) links for all are in my sig also check out "Noj lockscreen" in my sig for some cool add ons.
okay okay
thank you its starting to make sense now thanks you guys yea im going to read all that now.. thank you guys

I have a CDMA Hero running fresh rom 2.4.0 by flipz. I am trying to put it back to stock cause i would like to sell it and get a EVO. When I go to put the stock 2.1 on there it says the phone is not connected to the computer. But I can charge and do everything else. But it will not put stock sprint 2.1 back on there. Can anyone offer any help.
Thanks

What would be the best rom to flash before transferring my Hero over to a new line? I am just giving it to a family member, so no need to do anything drastic here. I still have my stock nandroid of 1.5 that I've been using to update PRL's with on the SD card, but if I can hand it to them with a "modern" rom that can be used to update PRL/Profile, I'd rather do that.
Any suggestions? Is Fresh 2.4.0 still a viable rom, or maybe something like LiquidSense 2.1?
I'm assuming that none of the ported 2.2 roms will work for this. And this person is a non-techy, so they will not be wanting Cyanogen. I'd rather them have the sense dialer instead of AOSP anyway...

So if any of you can help id appreciate it ^_^
His mytouch has no 3.5mm jack so idk if that would mean anything...he also has cm running on it (an extremely old version) so I wanna put him back to stock first so that I can put a nice clean flash on whatever rom has usb tethering enabled, so if anyone knows how to do that that'd be great too!

There are tethering apps on the market. Have you tried any of them. You can use the superwipe to wipe the phone and get a clean install so you dont have to go back to stock.
The tethering apps on the market are trials
And superwipe? WIll that just wipe the current rom or take any and all modifications off? Id prefer the latter so that I will be able to tell exactly what's wrong if anything goes wrong because thered be no unknown variables for me

Here is a guide to unroot get to 2.2 ota stock and root again so you will have the new radio spl if you want it.
1.) Follow the directions here to downgrade to 1.6 donut and upgrade to stock Android 2.2 and Use the Root method there ~ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807899
Or you can go to ezterry's 14mb hack page if you have fastboot enabled on your pc and grab those if you want. Here is the link to that. You have to have fastboot enabled and again follw the instructions to the T. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
The superwipe will wipe everything just like fastboot erase system -w but supposed to be better i will find you links.
Here is a link to superwipe. Just follow the instructions there to a T. You have to power down in recovery and boot directly back to recovery for it to work. Also make a backup FIRST. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834812&highlight=superwipe
Are you wanting to use one of the newer roms or older? That might make a difference in deciding to upgrade to the new radio/spl or not. Im not sure if any of the newer roms have tethering in it or not. Thats why i ask. I know the older ones do. Like Enomther's 1.6 for example
Well any working rom will do. You've been a great help!!!!!!!!!!
also, by older roms do you mean pre-official froyo? Or just like a rom that was last updated in november? Because if you mean pre-froyo I'll downgrade to 1.6 and then just go on from there to see if it'll work and then once I see its possible I'll put him on oficial froyo and tell him he's gonna have to wait or be stuck with the first os he had (he hated 1.6 LOL!)

If he hated 1.6 have you thought about 2.1? What is he on now? I believe there are 2.1 roms out there with tethering in it already. I believe you can rip the tethering out of a rom and just install it on your phone with whatever you have flashed at the time as well.
And yes i mean pre-froyo. Donut or eclair
Also have you tried barnacle wifi tether. I hear it works. I dont personally use tethering
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.

I have not.... was hoping for a simple process to flashing it back to sprint =/ but i'll take a look into that then.
I found that the Evo, my friend has is not rooted and has the 2.3.3 update, I've read to unflash the phone back to sprint i would have to flash a stock ROM that contains the Sprint ESN. but the problem is can a 2.3.3 Evo be rooted at least get CWM on it to flash the stock ROM? anyway around this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First I would find out with sprint if the esn is good.

an Evo flashed to MPCS is likely going to have a bad ESN and will not be able to be activated on Sprint again, hence the reason that phone was probably sold (or was stolen). However, that's not guaranteed. Definitely need to call up Sprint and check the ESN/MEID, or try this website http://www.checkesnfree.com/index.html, no clue if it really works though.
The ESN has not been changed on the device at all. The rom has nothing to do with the carrier. The phone can have whatever rom you desire on it and work on Sprint, MetroPCS, or Cricket if flashed properly. No ESN change necessary.
Btw, if that phone has the 2.3.3 update on it already then it IS a stock Sprint rom, and you won't be flashing other roms to that phone since the boot loader is going to be locked.
However, this should not stop you from being able to put the phone in diagnostic mode and flash the phone back to Sprint using QPST or some other phone flashing software.

Thanks for the response, and yes, the phone was sold to my friend which he later found out it was flashed to Metro PCS, and since the phone is on 2.3.3 the last option would be to call sprint and see if anything can be done.
