Sorry for the noob question but what are 3.5 roms and why isn't possible to change mmsc from them?

What method did you use to repair mms on your sense 3.5 rom?

Default Lost flash after updating to 2.17 w/o HBOOT 1.50

So it finally happened, I lost my flash. Everything was going fine, even downgraded to 1.4 hboot using recent XDA method, but after that I saw an updated firmware without the 1.5 hboot update by xHausx and used it thinking it would be fine since all the other PG86IMG and RUU's have flashed perfect.

As I posted earlier, I backed up and everything with qpst and CDMA-WS but after restoring from backup it looked like it put everything back (it even said BOOST at the top) but I was wrong. When ever I try to dial out it tells me my account cannot be validated and of course I have no 3g either due to lack of service.

I've looked over every setting using every # code and I cant seem to find anything wrong with the configurations and APN restore does nothing.

I was very paranoid about modding a flashed phone at first so I was very thorough, besides backups I also took many notes on the info the # codes and qpst/cdmaWS provided before making any changes at all.

Which makes me ask if the fact that QPST keeps changing the ESN is creating and issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

First I got "account cannot be authorized" but I zero out the esn and put it back to what it was and I got voice and text then got onto wifi and updated both profile and prl and then bam 3g came back. I think next time I have to zero the esn before restoring backup. Thanks so much for your reply and all the help thus far!

Where did that joker come from?

Here is a thread I started and had closed about ESN: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1685610

That explains it enough. Flashing to another carrier does not change the ESN. Boost, Cricket, MetroPCS allow non-carrier ESN's on their network, that's why flashing is allowed. You can technically flash a phone to Virgin Mobile, but, here is where the problem is: Virgin Mobile does not allow non-Virgin Mobile ESN's on their network.

Did that idiot get banned?
