OKay... here we go... I'll do my best to retrace my steps and explain why this all went down.

Somewhere along the line, everything in the Security field (in ##778#) AND M.IP Profile #1, #2, and #3 or whatever got lost, or changed or something. Most likely lost as i had alot of fields blank. Now.. from what i understand the information in the
AAA Shared Secret field is an encrypted figure that is generated by Bell... and impossible to recreate. The Username is simple, it is simply your ESN in HEX format.
It is these fields tat are required to be able to use the EVDO Data network.. PERIOD. This is done during boot up of your phone. if it doesn't pass, then your phone will automatically revert to 1X for all Data because it doesn't require any kind of Authentication (from what i understand) So here is what i did.....
I'll completely omit what i did first time, when i lost ALL data to get it back, as i'm not sure if it will cause any problems, and not be able to use EVDO as what happened with me...
Hammer in ##786#
Tap Menu Reset It will Prompt for MSL Enter MSL

Once your device boots back up,

Hammer in ##yourMSL#
MDN = your9 digit Cell Number
MSID = your 9 digit Cell number
Home SID/NID#1 = 16420 / 65535 (I believe this is for Ontario, and i think that if you call any bell store or CS they will easily give you the SID for your province pretty easily, but i could be wrong, it could be the same across the whole country, this worked for me tho and i'm in NS, i'm going to switch it to 16390 because that is what is on my wifes phone)

MENU/then OK

NOW.. I would HIGHLY recommend ONLY following this procedure if you are using a stock Bell ROM and Radio, and of course on the Bell Canada network. I'm only saying this because its what i was using. If anybody tries this method using a Custom rom to regain EVDO, or Data PERIOD, or using another network please share your experiences here so others can learn..
I definitely learned something from this experience... Just not sure what yet.. LOL Now.. back to the 3.37 radio and my own cooked ROM.. LOL That will keep me busy for the next hour or so...
I sure hope this experience and repair job helps somebody else out.

I found out that getSPC.exe gets the MSL # for HTC

Here is an other tool (maybe the same) to get an MSL #

After going through all the steps in this tread. I wasn't able to re-activate my 1X&EVDO connection to the Internet. My userid and password field where leading me nowhere. I called Aliant/Bell tech support. A HARD RESET fixed my problem. No activation/configuration required. I now have Internet connection EVDO on my Palm Treo Pro with Windows 6.1 Pro (SE CE 5.2.20765.1.4.4).

I lost everything in my phone, but I only had it for 1 week hehe. My Internet is back!!!
