Sprint Cant Activate Service - Needs Kernel or someting - Total Noob

Hey yall,
I recently purchased what I consider to be one of the best phones one the market (Epic 4g) for the second time and this one I bought off of Swappa.com for $100. The phone is in great condition, with ICS which my last Epic didnt have, and it also has cyanogen 9 mod which my old phone didnt have either. I have never modified a phone or rooted them or anything like that. But I like the cyanogen mod so I dont mind it. The phone also has the latest clockwork recovery.
But the phone cannot activate with Sprint because the rep says the numbers have been wiped from the phone. I read somewhere that I may need a certain kernel that mimics the codes or replaces the codes or something?
Can anyone point me to a stable, reliable source for a kernel that will let me activate the phone and keep cyanogen 9 mod?
Sorry if this is just a total f**#$# noob question that makes you want to pull your hair out but I honestly dont know anything about the latest software or anything like that. However I am very resourceful and I got this far, I think I can install a kernel if someone could just point me in the direction of a good file to download.
Thanks in advance!

Mobile odin the kernel for directboot cwm, and then flash the temporary gb rom to provision your phone and update the prl

can you tell me where to find the "temporary gb rom"? Also looks like I need the EL29 EMMC utility, can you tell me where that is as well?
And how to get mobile ODIN on my phone? Do I need mobile ODIN or can I use regular ODIN? In the video he said you could use either one...
Sorry again for the noob questions. This is overwhelming.

Follow the instructions in this thread.

We don't have mobile odin. You will need to odin stock and the cwm recovery and nubernel so you can keep the recovery because samsung has it so stock recovery returns after a reboot, and nubecoder fixed that so you'll need his kernel. Then you can reflash cm9. Once the cm team or me include nexus s 4g ril and modem in a build, then we can make updating prl and profile and activating possible. With ours it is impossible.

There is no link inthe OP, there is a link in a quoted reply and while I got that link to work at home and began the download,I cannot begin the download here on my work computer. Is there an updated link anywhere for the stock el30 multiboot for samsung epic? Any clue why the download worked at home but not on my work PC? It might be a firewall or something so I am going to go home and put the file on my thumb drive.

If he already has CM9 then he already has custom recovery (and root, etc) All he needs is the multiboot flashable to temporarily boot into the stock rom. The latest version is FC09 - I'll see if I can link to that thread, but it is in the development section (Epic 4G development)
EDIT: Here is the multiboot thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...te PRL and Calibrate Sensors for CM9 and AOKP
The OP of that thread contains a link to the correct page on the Epic CM team blog, in which you find full instructions, a link and the md5sum (definitely verify the md5 before continuing)
You will need your computer to extract the archive (most android apps for archive files seem to struggle with this one, and while I swear I did it successfully once, I have been unable to duplicate that result or find the app that worked), and it's generally easier to download on the PC as well to avoid a few quirks.

That link is the one in the previous post I mentioned. I got the link to download at my house, my work had it firewalled.
Ok so I got the file, now how do I install it or run it? Just put it on the SD card and then boot in recovery and flash it to everything? Do I need to unzip the files before putting them on the SD card or anything?

Yeah, I just noticed that TazFanatic had already posted it without a description - but the same link from two people is better than no links from anyone, I suppose
That archive needs to be extracted to your sdcard in a very specific directy structure. Check the instruction in the blog where you downloaded the multiboot, but I believe you should be able to extract to the root of the sdcard (with a computer, not your phone - I can't stress that enough) with the option checked to recreate the folder structure.
Once extracted, the actual flashable zip is found in the FC09 folder, which is in the multiboot folder (and may still be EL30, although I have an updated version which I was sure came from that page). Flashing that zip from custom recovery will not actually install anything, but it will reboot the phone after setting it up to boot the rom on the sdcard instead of reading the internal storage where your rom (CM9) is installed.
But as I said, that page should cover all of the details, so be sure to read it thoroughly and you shouldn't have any problems (or additional questions on the subject) from this point forward

Now my work PC wont recognize the device! Mass storage is turned on, but the pc wont recognize the device or the SD card in the computer. I cant transfer anything to the SD card because it isnt showing up.

Go to the settings screen (menu capacitive key, then "settings" on the touch screen - just in case, I don't know how familiar you are with android or the Epic so I'm just covering the bases, lol)
From there, look for the "storage" sub menu, where you'll be able to see if the phone is detecting the sd card (if you have the card in and it does NOT give you the option to mount or unmount the sd card, then it thinks no card is present)
If the phone is also not detecting the sdcard, then it sounds like the card was corrupted - you may have to reformat it, which will erase everything on it. If it is detected, then maybe rebooting your computer will clear out whatever is preventing it from detecting the card when you put it in the computer... but it sounds like you'll most likely find that the phone isn't even detecting it - try rebooting the phone and checking it again under storage, before you start worrying about reformatting the card...
Also, for everyone else following along - this is why you should not sell a phone with a custom rom on it. Too many problems, better to give the new owner a link to xda and let them decide if they want to take the leap

I thought you said the computer wouldn't read the sd card even if you took it out of the phone and put it into the computer? Hopefully I misunderstood - your wording above seem to suggest a successful usb mount...

Now what badass stuff can I do with this cyanogen that I couldnt do with my old Epic??? What re yall's favorite features?
Can anyone tell me how to add icons to my desktop or homescreens? I want to add apps and contacts on my home screens and I cant figure out how. Its not the same as on the old epic, now when I hold on the screen it just pops up the wallpaper selector, I can't add a shortcut, someone tell me what to do?

Your first question is quite broad, so I highly recommend reading the EpicCM blog site and the official site, cyanogenmod.com, because there are so many features that we will likely forget a few (unless we read the web pages for you, but then you have to trust our summaries... anyone remember the telephone game from childhood? Best to go straight to the source, lol)
That doesn't mean we won't try, of course... but I can't decide on a favorite feature, lol. The theme engine is a well-known feature that is almost a CM exclusive (it originally came from T-Mobile phones). I'm currently on the CM7 side of my usual cycle of roms, so I have to work from memory until I decide to switch back (I stay with 7 most of the time because I can't afford a decent replacement battery, lol)
As for homescreen shortcuts, both apps and widgets can be found in the app drawer - long-press and drag to drop them on the homescreen. There may be a direct dial widget (I haven't messed with direct dial shortcuts since long before CM9, so no guarantees on this part) - dropping it on the homescreen should open a dialogue where you can choose the contact to shortcut to. I know that other widgets that have variables that lack logical default values, like the direct navigation widget, work that way... I'm just not 100% sure if there is a direct-dial, or just a shortcut to the contact info

Ok that works for apps, what about putting specific individual contacts as shortcuts on the homescreen(s)? Can't figure that one out... need to get my wifey on there... thanks in advance y'all.

Bricked my Huawei U8800 Need HELP

Hello Guys,
I have a BIG problem.
I rooted my Huawei U8800 and installed Aurora for it.
Than I tried to update my CWM. After that nothing worked.
When I start my phone I get a BlueScreen. When I connect it to Windows 7 in PinkScreen nothing happens.
Ubuntu also doesnot recognize him. I tried 100 times to update the firmware but it always stops at 1/4 of the progress bar.
We tried many SD Cards and many computers.
Slowly I dispair....
Have someone an idea?!?
What can i do?!?!
Hope for Replys and Suggestions.

As I can understand your phone is in locked bootloader (pink screen) state additionally some file on it crash.
Its better flashing B512 has unlocked bootloader.Don't care if stops after 1 step or not.Just flash it and then go in pink screen.Then connect it On your windows os and copy paste pink screen files from your CWM backups.(unzip boot.fat.tar).

Thank you for your fast reply.
So you think I should do this:
1. Flash B512 (If is stops of not unimportant)
2. Go connect in Pink Screen on Windows
3. Copy the files in the image foldner.
4. Pull out battery
5. Disconnect USB
6. Reconnect battery and go to CWM...
Ok I will try this but there is a little problem. I cant start my device without USB cable because the battery is empty and I cant charge it.
Anyway thanks

Also don't use scripts floating around that will wipe device. A script similar to that was required for the s2 hercules as there were some issues with the recovery not wiping certain partitions. The nexus 4 doesn't have any issues afaik so learn about partitions and wipe them as needed from recovery manually.

All along i keep saying not to use superwipes and stuff like that. There is a recovery for that!!!

[MOD] Disable Mobile Data On First Boot

What's this?
As the title mentioned above, It disables your mobile data right after flashing a rom through recovery so that your money won't be deducted after boot
Personal Information
For me, I use it because I use a prepaid card and every time the mobile data is enabled after boot. It deducts some amount of money from my prepaid causing me to lose money every time I flash a new rom.
What is modified?
apns_conf.xml which can be found in system/ etc
How to flash?
1. Flash any custom rom that you would like to use through recovery
2. When it's done, go to mounts & storage and mount /system
3. Flash MobileDataOff.zip from attachments below
3. Reboot system and enjoy a safer way to flash roms
If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to comment below and make sure to hit thanka if this works for you. :good:

And your really think only the empty file is the solution?
<apns version="6">
</apns>
Just look into this thread. In the script the original conf is restored after the initial copy of the empty file.
And there is a hint that pressing the end call button might help instead (didn't try because I do not need it).

Been there done that. Sometimes some roms have setup wizards which takes quite a while to load. And sometimes for what reason my prepaid decreases from a 2 to a 1 digit number. That's why I decided to do this mod.

yup the reason I made this into a flashable zip is because some people [like me] don't know how to run scripts or adb.
Okay going to update this to include credits and a restore file so that it does the same function as the script

How about removing the sim before flashing...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

well, nice.
i usually insert a spare sim with zero balance (i knw we all hv spare sim cards). this way i setup everything reatore titanium backup, contacts etc. n finally i change my sim to the one which i normally use..
ummm hmmmm??
and NO.. few ROMs out there want sim to be insrted so this might do the trick to fool Newly flashed ROM..

Note 3 memory inaccessible

Hi guys. my note 3 has ended up with a problem that i could not access any data on the phone. i have tried to access my photos through a default file manager my album say there are no photos in it. But what i saw is that every folder takes 0 bytes of memory like pictures videos downloads etc. But only others folders takes all of the memory of phone. I tried to transfer my data by connecting my phone with pc. But i can see some space is taken. but when i open it, it says the folder is empty. i could not even connect to wifi, could not use any apps, could not open play store etc. I am attaching all the picture of what i think are important to know. i would really appreciate your help if some one could help me out. thanks

Celderic, if you could please explain how to do this I'd be super grateful. Aqeel posted this question for me hoping to help. My wife's phone has this problem, not sure how it happened, but I'm really hoping that there's a way to recover the 1000 pictures that have seemingly vanished.
My only hope is the fact it's showing the space being taken up on the hd meaning they're still on there somewhere.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!
