Root Re-flashing HA and AAA keys?

Learning from my last experience, I wrote down the HA and AAA keys in the event that they got wiped out. Well for some reason, when I flashed the stock firmware they got toasted. But luckily I have the keys...only one problem - I don't know how to write them. I tried "writing" instead of "reading" when following the guide to get the keys, but it doesn't seem to save.

Does anyone know how to properly re-write these keys?
 
I wrote them to my unbricked phone last summer. Didn't have the AAA code wrote down back when I first bricked it in April of 2011, but everything else wrote using the same utility that you read the AAA code from. Just make sure you do everything that's necessary to get to that point.

I'll have to try and see if I can remember what I did, but it wasn't hard?

Keep trying to remember the code. I wrote mine down and double checked it. It seems to be a 19 digit alpha/numeric code. 19 digit doesn't make sense, but that's what I got wrote down.

19 digit... That sounds like the hex version..... If you forget to uncheck the hex box when reading it in dfs its what you see

Edit: also if you did get the keys to stick try running the activate app on a froyo rom

Where are those files stored? Compute-where or Phone-where?


I wrote the HA and AAA codes down twice. There different from each other.

Ah well.......I guess I'll have to install all the utility's again and run it one more time to make sure I got it right. I didn't really think that code was right. Good thing I have the stock ROM backed up.
I needed to do it for the spare V anyway. Might as well kill two birds with one stone.

I'll have to reinstall the programs to be very specific but there's a subdirectory on the computer and it's just one file a .nvs with the com# in the name

This is where I found out about it. Up to step 5 deals with setup and saving the file

Update: i zeroed my aaa by zv4 bin flash and had to restore both .nvs file and run qpst to restore my qcn file to get everything working again
