This happened to me early this morning. I noticed that under settings the device had 000-000-0016 as my phone number and MIN as well as AABBCCDDEEFF00@hsn.sprintpcs.

All those were obviously way off. I called sprint to get the MSL and was able to change my phone number and MIN by entering ##(mel)#

Edit - change phone number and MIN. Both are the same on my line, but I'll mention my wife's nexus the MIN is different. May have to ask Sprint if you aren't sure.

After reboot (had to do above 2 times cause phone number didn't stick first time) o entered ##data# and was able to change the user name. I apologize for not remembering the steps but you can find where easily.

After all that rebooted and data/signal were good. Updated profile and PRL. No issues since.

Not sure what I did. I flashed a ROM (not mentioning because not certain the ROM was at fault) and it went to greyed bars with roaming indicator. Tried toggling data and nothing. Restored backup with same result. Restored tw backup (stock) and got same. Checked settings/about phone/status throughout. That's wheniI noticed the different settings.

Hope this helps someone.

I initially lost my imei after flashing cm10.
So I flashed stock again, Injected my imei, still no reception, then tried your code and it gave me that message.
Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 4.2.2 CM10 --- current
Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 2.3 Galnet Miui --- Fried After using incorrect car charger...
LG Optimus 2X 2.3 Modaco --- Gave as wedding gift
Sony Ericsson x10a 2.2 cyanogen 6.1.1 TripNRaVeR --- Battery crapped out, got a replacement, and I think that fried it...

You need to be connected to WiFi because that code reactivates your phone

THANK YOU! Worked for me. Had that issue after flashing a few roms... I have a friend that works as a tech for sprint, but after hours, he doesn't have the stuff with him at home, so would have to wait till the following day for when he got to work.. I knew XDA had good people that post.. and you're a+ in my book! rofl
