MMS ROMS FOR EVO 4G

Now in order for picture message to work you will need to be rooted, but for talk, text, and web you're fine running stock rom.

I have read through the guide and followed it. I got the voice and texting to work but can't get data to work at all. I have tried everything I can think of even used DFS I put ESN@vmobl.com under PAP and the AAA key in pwd but it doesn't retain the info and disappears when I read it again. I have written the PRL for the device but just can't seem to get the data to work also I am a little baffled in the guide as to how to set under mobile IP in profile 1 HA primary to not set and in profile 0 HA primary to dynamic I have set them to 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255 repectively after reading through qpst documentation any help would be great I also get error code 67 for data...

NOTE: This post has nothing to do with cloaking, modifying or spoofing ESN. It's simply about where to put previously acquired information


Ok, this is how I got 3g to work, try this:

m.ip tab:

proflie 0:
untick the enabled thing to make this profile disabled
nai: yourmeid@mdata.vmobl.com
nai tethered: yourmeid@mdata.vmobl.com
rev tun: (I don't remember but I think it was unchecked, if it doesn't work, just go and check this and it will work)
all 0.0.0.0
mn-ha: 21EF
mn-aaa: 21EF
ha shared: vmug33k (select string)
aaa shared: youraaakey (select string, use http://www.string-functions.com/hex-string.aspx to convert your hex aaa to string, it should be 20 characters in hex)

proflie 1:
tick the enable to enable this profile
nai: yourmeid@mdata.vmobl.com
nai tethered: yourmeid@mdata.vmobl.com
rev tun: yes
all IP addresses: 0.0.0.0
mn-ha: 21EF
mn-aaa: 21EF
ha shared: vmug33k (select string)
aaa shared: youraaakey (in string format, select string and use the same one from the hex to string converter)

proflie 2:
tich the enabled box to enable this profile
nai: yourmeid@prov.vmobl.com (make sure you write prov here instead of mdata)
nai tethered: yourmeid@prov.vmobl.com (prov instead of mdata here too!)
rev tun: yes
all IP addresses: 0.0.0.0
mn-ha: 21EF
mn-aaa: 21EF
ha shared: vmug33k (select string)
aaa shared: youraaakey (in string format, like the other two profiles)

disable any other profiles besides 0, 1 and 2

go to PPP Config tab:

don't change anything except the couple of values I say to.

Ignore the RM tab

go to UM tab:
userid: yourmeid@mdata.vmobl.com
pw:
tick the Req PW box
enter your aaa key in STRING format like on the m.ip tabs
(if your Tethered NAI isn't already filled out, and your 3G doesn't work when you reboot fill the Tethered NAI out with your meid@mdata.vmobl.com)


go to AN tab:
userid: yourmeid@mdata.vmobl.com
pw:
tick the req pw box and enter the string version of you aaa key

after all that write to phone and it will reboot, you probably want to turn wifi off before you do all of this so you can see if 3G works, if it's 3G it will show up INSTANTLY, run a speed test to see if you're getting over 100 kbps, if you're not, go in and change those 2 things (the rev tun on profile 0 and the tethered NAI in the Um tab) and then write to phone and it should work.


source: cobbled together from a ****load of google-fu + guides on flashing to cricket and metropcs. There's also a nice guide on groovypost that I wish I had seen before I tore my hair out for hours trying to fix it.

something else I've run across in the couple of people I talked to, the whole thing should be done on STOCK roms, especially on your LG phone, rooted is fine, but it should be stock so that you can do the dial codes.

dial code for LG diagnostic mode : ##port#

dial code for HTC diagnostic mode: ##3424#

ALSO if you screw up and have both phones on at the same time you'll get ERROR 16 message when you dial out, I did this, I didn't have both phones on, but I did have the battery in my optimusV which I think was the culprit, if ERROR 16 happens to you, call the phone number in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1290906

It will connect you directly with the sprint error 16 tech center, it seems scary but it's fine, just play dumb, give them the account details and the details for your OPTIMUS V, and they'll sort you out in like 10 seconds. When I asked the guy if I should just call back to the center if I got an ERROR 16 code again, he told me "You'll never get an ERROR 16 code again" all ominous sounding.

Hello, I have an LG Rumor Touch and I can't get LGNPST to read it. I have tried different versions and different computers but I can't get it to read. I zeroed out the SPC, 000000, just because it' s easier to remember. When the phone settings tab is clickable, (1.3 version) I put the spc but it says it is incorrect? Can someone please help. Thanks

PM me and I'll try to help, I imagine that the zeroing out of your service code didn't stick and you'll just have to use your original code, which can be easily obtained through cdma workshop, dfs, or through an app you can dl on the market if you're rooted, I forget what it's called though, spc reader or msl reader or someting.

I dont have that "model" folder and i installed LGNPST_v1.2_Lab_Version, LGNPST_Components_v3.0.5.0, LGNPST_GenericModels_v3.0.7.0. What did i do wrong?

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

inside the LGNPST folder create a directory called Model, and inside that create a directory called MTP

such as c:\LG Electronics\LGNPST\Model\MTP

you need to put the dll into that folder


I used LGNPST 1.3 with components version 5 ish

you can get LGNPST 1.3 lab version from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1684394

You can get the components from here http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-all-things-root/571325-guide-using-lgnpst-1-3-full-stock-zv5.html

That lab version has a right click driver installer so after you make the directory you can put the vm670.dll into it and right click it to install, or if "Reggie.exe" is in there than you can drag and drop it onto it and it will install, Components 5.0 has to be installed or the dll won't install (it has some file it needs)

hope that helps

Goodbye all, Thank you UncivilSavage for everything

Well goodbye Virgin Evo peoples, I decided to upgrade during the cybermonday sale, so I'm selling my VM flashed evo and moving on up to the Evo "V" 4g (which is the EVO 3D to the rest of the world).

Thank you so much UncivilSavage for helping me get my phone flashed the first time which showed me how much awesome an android phone can be!

Good luck to the rest of you, I wish you the best on your flashing adventures.

See y'all in the 3D forum.

As far as the prop. The cdma name and cdma numeric code, and sorry guys if been working like a Trojan on this fix... I'm almost their. Its ridiculously frustrating.
