Having serious problems here

[deejaypapa]

ok now ive got a serious problem...just woke up and i gotta be to work in 2 hours. just tried to make a phone call to purchase a mogul and my phone says welcome to the american roaming network. ive done 2 things since my phone was working up until now. I ran qpst and modified my IMSI_S under cdma 1 tab and cdma 2 tab to match my own phone number, and changed my banner from sprint to cricket, and i have ran dcd cricket carrier.cab. And poof, phone no longer recognized by cricket.

Update: Ok, i just got off the phone with the person im buying my mogul from, so my phone was in 1x mode. i get off the phone and for some reason i ramdomly decided to try the internet. BOOM, it works...but only on 1x...so now im stumped. Works on 1x but is horribly slow. Ive got the 1050.prl loaded on the phone, which from my research i determined was the most universally recognized or used cricket evdo prl. So, now my question is this...why does it only work on 1x but as soon as my phone switches back to evdo, no internet? Any suggestions...Anybody?

Look at the line 15 and 22 in first post here:

Those values are used by sprint and verizon to authenticate you on EVDO.
I don't know what exactly cricket uses but this is probably what stops you from connecting to evdo.
If you look through that thread people saying they were able to use 1x without those values but not evdo.

wow thanks ruslan. that is definitely something that i need to check into. Problem is, earler today, in a pm from a user on another site, he told me to delete my hdr user auth settings or whatever theyre called to get my evdo workin. he hadnt led me astray on anything else so i dont think he was tryin to lead me the wrong way. but now im kinda stuck since those values are gone. if i re-flashed stock sprint rom and then back to my custom, would it restore those settings or did i screw myself?

I've got Vogue/Cricket too and I've spent hours, days and weeks learning, flashing&reflashing to Cricket , installing different ROM's, editing reg settings & EPST settings, screwing up, fixing, upgrading, downgrading...

I've noticed that some of my EPST settings are different from the one's you have. In my NAM settings, my IMSI is my 10-digit MSID number preceded by 31000, my True IMSI_S is my 10-digit MSID number and my True IMSI is my 10-digit MSID number preceded by 31000.

My PRL is EVDO/non-roaming 38588.

If you really want to wipe your Vogue clean, press TALK/NAV/END buttons, reinstall Sprint stock ROM, then your custom ROM of choice. I use one of to0's ROM's specifically made for Vogue/Cricket but it looks as though he's moved on to bigger things. But you can still take a look at his posts over at HoFo and maybe you'll find something useful. Also, this thread at HoFo helped me troubleshoot my latest screwups (now fixed!) ---> http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1507276

Also, I've noticed that when I load a custom ROM over a custom ROM, the From or To lines will sometimes be blank. I ignore that since these are unofficial ROM's and I haven't had problems. BUT, it's always better and safer to run the Sprint stock ROM before installing a custom one. Don't let the Sprint customizations run!

I don't know if this makes any difference but you mentioned that you only have one connection listed in your connection settings and you named it "Cricket MMS". You should change the name because as you know, in the registry "Cricket MMS" is used to refer only to the MMS settings. I have found references to a "Cricket" connection deep in my registry (not mentioned in any of the how-to's on these websites) and I've written down all registry values relating to them. Take a look in HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{somethingsomethingsom ething?}\Cricket. Take a look at all the values under Providers just in case. Are there any named Cricket? Or are there any called Cricket MMS? There shouldn't be any named Cricket MMS. You may be able to rename your connection settings from "Cricket MMS" to "Cricket" if you see a Cricket MMS listed. If you do, I would copy all the names/data listed under Cricket MMS, then delete the Cricket MMS entry and create a new entry called "Cricket" and add the names/data that were under originally under Cricket MMS. And you can always search your registry for all references to "Cricket" and see if it's somewhere other than the places listed in the how-to's. That might help pinpoint the problem/conflict.

I've also had times when I only had one connection listed, usually "Cricket" as opposed to "My Work Network". Adding another connection isn't difficult, let me know if you need help.

Any questions, just PM me. I really do feel your pain.

as far as i know official rom will not rewrite those values, it probably makes them blank. I've read somewhere that forcing 1x on the phone and making internet connection should rewrite those values, but this was written for verizon it think. Don't know about cricket but you can try.
Another option that was listed somewhere is to activate non pda phone on your account and them back to pda, which should rewrite those values.
