I thought changing my cid/nid might help with everything saying we are on vm but it doesnt... Fyi

And remove the programming from the device then it will reactivate your phone during the hands free activation upon reboot. It might work but it's kind of equivalent to just updating your profile.

i want to try the ##786# but before i do it it has a message saying "resetting your device to factory defaults. ALL data will be lost". so that that really include all data? or just my sprint settings? does anyone know if the 786 thing is equivalent to what sprint does over the air when you call in.

edit: if theres a chance i wont get 3g back, maybe i should not try this fix.

You can always get 3g back by resetting your data profile with the method I posted

I thought I was being more conservative applying a patch freeza provided.

Anyway all is not fine. If you used VPN, It's gone. If you trigger a hands free reactivate you won't get the 3G back. Some folks apps depend on seeing Sprint or what ever else was changed and won't work.

And for the record I have tried running 2.17 RUU and it did not restore it.

I was really hoping when you got back online you'd say no problem, easy fix.

Oh well.

seriously?

1) as with anything you flash from XDA, you should consider yourself lucky you didnt brick your phone.

2) freeza warned about the banner

3) it was clear to EVERYONE that you are flashing Virgin Mobile firmware on a sprint device

4) you were told to flash at your own risk

I have 2 phones.
#1: is a developer phone from qualcomm, it is qualcomm branded, not HTC - it has a qualcomm ESN, not HTC
#2: is a retail phone just like yours

my developer phone received a OTA a few days prior to the leak - the firmware files contained in the ota matched the firmware files in freeza's firmware zip. (md5 compared) -- the difference is freeza's zip had additional files that were not part of the OTA i received.

i flashed freeza's zip on my retail phone - and yes, i had issues and problems. i updated my profile, and now the phone actually works better than b4 (faster data - not 1 issue w/ sending/receiving text msgs or calls)

phone phones are on joelz's 3.6 sense rom

for you to be hard on freeza is way uncalled for. and to this day, he is still the only one i trust with firmware zips.

I updated to VM firmware and downgraded to latest 2.17... With no problems... S-off eng...

Oh yeah had to fix/change my splash screen back...

I wonder when the official sprint release will come, or maybe it will get leaked.
I just can't seem to get rid of this retarded radio resource shortage crap when I'm texting. Having trouble holding a 3g signal too and can't seem to break 100 kbps download .

Does anyone know if the VM Evo 3d has exactly identical hardware to ours?

example: the rom virtious posted... the updater script wiped your recovery partition cause they used the wrong partition number

what if it wiped boot loader??? a simple type can cause that...

there is risk w/ everything u flash - dont want the risk... keep ur phone stock and leave this site.

i risk bricking my phone several times a day - flashing kenrels w/ different settings... i flash and run everything for atleast 1 hour b4 i post for others...


my phone is a real s-off phone, not a hacked s-off
im also CID unlocked (again out of the box, not hacked) - i can flash a sensation RUU on my phone.. or gsm, or rezound...

if you give me a sensation ruu, and i flashed it knowing it was for the sensation - i do that at my own risk, and if my phone gets jacked - thats on ME....and only me... not you for giving me the RUU
