I have BAF MSL Grabber installed. You can launch EPST from within the program.

thats odd because my sprint tp gave me issues today with connecting and was giving me that error. I figured because i just flashed the new juicy 5 w/tp2. I just loaded in my carrier cab i forgot to load and it resest. Been good since. Havent had that problem in a long time. My contract ends next month, if this phone stops working, I might go at&t as i just dont like sprint. I do like verizon but some of their policies suck. That and i think i went over my 5gb limit...oops...

Update (with no real results except for what DIDN'T work).

So, two Sprint TP's. One working perfectly for two plus weeks. One manually activated by Tech Support last night for voice and text (no data).

First TP lost data this morning and never regained. I have -

1. Soft reset several times - NO GO

2. Hard reset and restored from backup - NO GO

3. Cleared HA and AAA secret keys through BAF MSL Grabber ---> EPST

4. Wrote HA and AAA secret keys from XV6800 by copying from QDXM and pasting to notepad --> transferring to mem card ---> opening on TP and highlight and CTRL-C ---> paste into EPST (via BAF MSL Grabber) with CTRL-Shift - NO GO


Second TP which was manually activated last night still has perfect voice and text but does not and never did have data. I tried all of the above on this one as well with the same outcome.

I'm still not ready to lay down on this but I'm getting close.

The easiest way I've found to get into EPST no matter the rom is to use file explorer and navigate to \Windows\EPST.exe.

And as far as who has better coverage, Sprint or VZW... they are both CDMA right? From what I understand (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) when you're on either carrier and you step out of your coverage area, your device will automatically roam on the other carriers network. My VZW phone has roamed on Sprint a few times, and visa-versa with my buddy's Sprint unit on VZ's network.

So no matter who you're with, you'd be using BOTH carriers towers (if needed by your device). And if you have a nationwide plan you don't pay roaming.

Like I said, I could be wrong, but from my own experience this is the case. It's also been explained this way to me by a few VZ and Sprint reps. SO... if this holds true, price IS the main difference.

But all the "Verizon sucks", "Sprint sucks" talk is a bit off the initial topic. I wasn't trying to start a carrier war. My initial post wasn't the first time I've put up about Verizon pissing me off, but my intent was to warn people about the problem. (No need for the Verizon folks to take it personal, I just don't like how they do business.) I could write a full page post about all the issues I've had with VZW since I've signed, but it wouldn't do anyone any good... there are so many of those type of posts out there about VZW already. I've seen hardly any posts about Sprint people that are mad about anything.

Does it make sense that when you do a "whois" search on the domain name "www.verizonsucks.com", you find out that Verizon Wireless owns it along with several other "anti-Verizon" domains? VZW being paranoid? I think not. From similar searches with the Sprint name, they don't seem to be as worried... Just an observation... Don't shoot me VZW peeps.

BTW... I never had those data issues today... must have been a location based issue.

Don't use notepad, use wordpad. Make sure you save the file in rich text format (rtf). I had the same problem too when copying them.

Not sure if that will solve your problem, but it does make sure you're copying them correctly.
