Root Evo 4G to Boost Mobile Guide/Evo 3D

So I am in step 4 of the guide using QXDM. I have my doner incognito hooked up to com 6. I activated the port in QXDM and ran the commands in the guide. I do not see the HA Shared password in the results generated. I am also a bit confused, in this guide I am assuming he means to have the doner phone hooked up. But in the PDF guide at this steps he mentions to choose the HTC EVO port at this step. Which is correct?

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. I can't yet attach images. so here are the results I am getting.

To get the donor password the donor needs to be connected, might be a typo in the guide.
it would appear the nv items are not unlocked I see it says password correct though.
If you want some real time help with that pm me with your chat client, yahoo, gchat, or facebook

So the weird thing is that I was able to gather all 4 Nv items from the Incognito w/o issue and saved those 4 files. I was also able to gather the NAM1/2 info and save that as well in the prior steps, so i know my phone had to be unlocked successfully with the spc code i had entered in CDMA prior to all that. So basically I am unsure as to why i can't get this password, I believe I have the AAA password, as the guide says its in the NV 466 file I saved. So I think i am only missing the HA shared pw

the aaa is a 32 digit alphanumeric number.

the ha is the same on all sprint network phones, it will be 736563726574

where should I start my spc scan for the prevail the incognito is 0363 not sure for prevail?
For the prevail you just need to use the default samsung password in cdma ws then the spc should show up in the box.
If that does not work you should be able to get it if your phone is rooted using one of the many methods in the play store.
There should not be a need to scan memory.

If nothing else works for you there is another easy way, if you have a second boost mobile phone esn available you can sign into boost account and click update handset, then put in a different esn then what your currently using set it, and then after its listed and activated a screen will come up telling you the msl of the phone, then just put your phone esn back in and it will tell you the msl of the prevail, your current phone, the spc an msl are the same number.

New guy here flashed from sprint to boost... last night everything worked for a second then i got error 67 and got authentication code could not be verified when making data call.

the NV items have been written the NAMs have been written ESN and meid is good. NAIs look good. the only thing i can think of is when i write the NAMS and i get an error NV_UE_IMEI_I status: NV_READONLY_S

Anyone know what that means?

i would really like to get this working any help is appreciated

That is normal, happens with every write to phone I have done on the evo.

2 questions, 1 did you make sure the meid was correct. and 2 did you make sure the donor phone was not turned on.
You can never have both phones on and trying to get signal at the same time.

i have been at this for a week now... everything goes as planned but no luck... am i missing something in clearing the meid and esn? i have tried the list provided, the search method provided and this guide.... my esn and meid never change... my phone number and current username change to my donor phone but mied stays the same... don't know if i'm clearing everything correctly or not.... i am about ready to throw in the towel....

*edit - if i can convince the wife, (yeah right), i'm going to spend the money outright for the GS3 and have boost activate that

You dont want to follow the old method of clearing the memory locations.

use the evo 3d method, start with QPST build 366 open the efs file explorer it is listed in the guide on the first page, just under evo 3d.

yes, figured that out eventually... rackin' my brain on this darn thing... finally got everything zeroed out and written but something is not sticking.... phone doesn't "reboot" after final write... hook back up and check settings, profile is back to 1, not zero... everything else looks fine, meid, esn, phone #.... gonna try again tomorrow...
Try this, dialer menu ##786# reset, phone will go back to basic factory settings, it will try to activate, dont let it, put the phone in diag mode connect up to qpst service programing profile 0 the nai will be the phones original meid@sprintxxxxx what ever right, change the meid to the donor meid@ and everything behind the @ leave the same

then write the HA and the AAA for the donor profile 0 then click on write to phone it will reboot it may try to activate, or it may not as it will still be in diag mode. take it out of diag mode reboot, if activation does not try.

when it comes up it will try to activate
let it. then it will write the profile 1 for you as well as redo all nam info.

ok, done that, now get "error code 1012" during hands free activation. is that due to my phone not getting a signal? said to try update profile, same thing.... UGH

*edit - what if i try the whole thing over with a different radio? i downgraded as the guide suggested. maybe if i flash to the newest it might help? i dunno... the "flashevotoboost.com" guide says nothing about downgrading... i guess it couldn't hurt now that my esn and meid have been changed already.

if it ain't one thing, it's another. now i come up with "error code 67. registration failure. pcs vision username/password may be incorrect". what is this referring to? ha and aaa passwords?
Yes, that is usually from the AAA wrong, but I have seen that from the stupidest things

Try doing profile update if it does not work, go through the entire ##768# reset through re-entering the proper profile 0 nai meid and ha and aaa then allow it to activate.

I once got the error 67 just because those steps were not followed in order.

REMEMBER TO CHECK THE PROFILE 0 NAI. Which is the donor phone meidnumber@hcm.sprintpcs.com
