I really need help guys plz help me i dont how to fix this it all started when i apply the new wimax radio if u can help im a android fan
Might help to explain what you are trying to do when you get this error.
Also when requesting help, try to include the following info:
1) hardware & software versions
2) the recovery & rom you are using
3) the problem you are having
4) what are you doing when the problem occurs
5) what are the expected results
6) any error messages you encounter
Sorry if I'm long winded. I work in a help desk. Providing accurate details always makes it easier to find potential solutions.
you're probably talking about the "Error Code 67" message that says your Sprint PCS Vision username / password are incorrect or something like that. Basically that is sprint's way of saying its not recognizing your phone's credentials on its network. if so, the simple way to fix this is call sprint and go thru their tech support until you get escalated to a real technician who will inadvertently give you your phone's MSL. (or find out your msl some other way) and will try to walk you thru the rest of the process of restoring your data profile.
but, if you want to try it yourself:
open phone app, type ##3282#
enter unlock code (6 digit msl)
>Edit Mode>Data Profile>(Menu Button)>Restore

I get this once in a while. Usually rebooting fixes it.

Rooted phones? ^^^
Have yet to get this error.
I used to get this silly error on my blackberry too so I doubt it is simply because my Evo is rooted.
Hmm. Can't wait to 67 for the first time.
im not sure if you said your rooted or on stock rom, if your rooted you need to be running the stock rooted rom, then go to the section where you can update your prl and profile. update both it will act like its not working but it will say updated successfully, reboot, then should fix issue.
Just update your profile and PRL whenever you get this after doing a reboot, and reboot again.
It happens to everyone, it just means Sprint's network had a hiccup, or you tried to turn on Sprint's hotspot app or HTC's wired tether without paying for it.

Ditto. I agree this usually works... Sometimes just a profile update is enough.
As far as the comments about "Rooting" being the cause... I saw the error 67 Data Failure at initial boot out of the box as the phone was being activated

Are there any other suggestions for this? both profile and PRL update attempts fail because this error blocks the data connection completely. I have also never attempted to use sprint hotspot or any other tethering options.
1) hardware & software versions
-Hardware: 0003
-Software:
--Firmware Version: 2.1 -update1
--Baseband Version: 2.05.00.06.10
--Kernel Version: 2.6.29-789bf291 [email protected] #1
--Build Number: 1.47.651.1 CL195459 release-keys
2) the recovery & rom you are using
-unsure?
3) the problem you are having
-constant "Error code 67"
4) what are you doing when the problem occurs
-anything, most common with any data operations or activating the 4g connection
5) what are the expected results
-not getting an error. having access to data
6) any error messages you encounter
-"Error code 67"

Just FYI, if you saw that on launch day (and especially if you don't live on the East coast) that was due to Sprint's authentication servers being overwhelmed from all the new data and phone activations. Literally took two hours and three calls to Customer Service to get my phone's data connection fully activated and clear out the Error 67 messages.

Have you gone to a Sprint corporate store or nagged customer service lately? What ROM are you currently running?
I was on phone for 4 hours yesterday with same issue...no data due to error 67....finally a hard reset solved my problem. It reprovisioned data immediately upon reboot. Just make sure you fully backup before doing so. I used titanium backup and I'm good to go now with data.

I started getting this out of the blue this morning, all morning. Kept trying to update profile, but that wouldn't work. Kept power cycling, update profile through 3g, then update profile through wifi. Eventually it went through, took a while and many tries though.
Sent from my blah blah blah blah
the thing was it was updating but then the error would pop right up shortly after... but now all the sudden its been ok... so i guess ill wait it out until the replacement gets here and if its still ok i guess ill send the replacement back

I did the OTA root of my phone earlier this week and applied the Fresh ROM and the WiMax Radio Update. After that my WiMax stopped working. I get "Connected to Sprint" , "Disconnected" , back to Scanning. I did notice that my WiMax MAC was not correct and followed the steps using the adb commands to correct it. This still did not solve the WiMax connection issues.
I spent a good amount of time yesterday trying to "unroot" the phone and go back to stock. The RUU methods weren't working because of bootloader version issues. I finally found some advice here to to use Toasts Step 2 Method to downgrade the bootloader. This worked and I was able to then apply the Stock ROM using the RUU File RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253
After getting back to stock I allowed all the OTA updates to apply. I'm still having the same WiMax 4G issue. The WiMax radio turns on, goes to scanning, connecting, disconnected, scanning.
I called Sprint last night and they had me do a ##786# reset with my MSL code, PRL Update, Profile Updates, etc. They also tried having CC remove the 4G services and re-provision. I'm still stuck with out the ability to connect to WiMax.
Before I return the phone ... anyone else have any suggestions I should try?
Appreciate the help.

I am having the same exact problem, i was told its something deeper than just the MAC address problem, i would just get a warranty replacement or exchange your phone since youre within the 30 days.
I just installed Netarchy's Stock 2.2 with Root, then applied the radio updates he listed, doing WiMax last. My 4G just says "scanning" when I turn it on, and never actually connects. I am hoping the tower near me is just down at the moment, but I am doubtful.
After I check in a couple of areas if 4G is still not working, I will try reseting the phone and root it again, running the 2.2 w/root, without installing radio updates.
Other then my WiMax getting flushed, Froyo ROCKS. Battery is lasting much longer, better features, etc.
I updated my radios with:
Radio update: 2.15.00.07.28
and
Wimax Update 26023
This is all you have to do:

I tried this ... started over all the way back to original RUU. Still no 4G. I took my phone to the Sprint Store today, left it for a tech to look at.
has anyone else heard of certificate issues that are used in WiMax authentication? I wonder if those certs were damaged by the radio updates. You'd think going back to stock RUU would repair that.
Maybe the stock RUU doesn't actually update the radio device?
If you have the latest radio and 4g is not working you need to flash the Rom again, just the Rom as the radio is already update.
Ps: remember do a titanium and or nandroid back up b4 flashing, good luck.

Flashed the ROM multiple times, still no luck.
ok have you tried a different rom? Just flash a different rom and test the wifi to see if you have the same issue. If it works then you know your issue was with the rom...

In my case flashing back to 2.1 stock, 4G worked again, no problem. But I want the 2.2... The thread for Netarchy's 2.2 stock rom with root has a few people having the same issue, but for most people it looks like the rom is working without WiMax issues.

Your 4g certificate keys got messed up. There is no known solution other than a replacement. I've been to Sprint, I've been online with HTC. There is no solution. Doesn't feel like there will ever be one.

thanks ill go in tommorow for replacement....jeez i'm at my wits end. going to try one more factory reset-root-flash....then im throwing it at the wall.
I am having the same issue with several roms. I just keep going back to the 2.1 when it fails. I have tried every update for the radio I can find, I am going to try again with some new radio zips, but so far 4g is just not working on any 2.2 rom that I try.
When I try to update my profile or PRL I continually get an error message : Profile update could not be completed. Please try again later. If the problem persists , you may need to contact Customer service. Error code:1012.
I am running OmegaEVO v.1.1 with stock HTC kernel the rom comes with. Any ideas???
I've got the same problem! And also no answer...
edit#2: I actually have the current prl 60671
Which do you have?
Same problem. It happened after I restored a nandroid backup onto a replacement phone. hard resetting fixes the problem but I refuse to reinstall and reconfigure all of my apps just to get this working.
There has to be a file somewhere that we can delete to get this working again.
Mine is 60671 too, but when I used to hit update for either prl or profile it would at least tell me it was up to date or something. Now I just get the error.
If your **** is rooted, you dont ever update the prl.. its bad news

i'm on the same boat as you. anybody knows how to fix this?
hoping for a fix. i have the exact same error number. =//
its a recent problem.
I am getting the same problem. I am fully rooted running CM6.1 so I flashed one of the Stock rooted Froyo ROMs. PRL updated no problem to 60671. When I tried to update my PRI to 1.40 I have continually gotten this error and I have no data connection. I am going to try flashing the Sprint Lovers package and see what happens.
*** UPDATE ***
Hallelujah! I flashed the Sprint Lovers complete package and it looks like I'm back in business. PRI is 1.77_003 PRL is 60671. I have a network connection again and it looks like everything is working.
Now to get CM6.1 back and life will be good.
Flashed with new mikfroyo rom & kernel it comes with, still get same error when I hit the update buttons for prl and profile. Also tried the wimax etc update from Sprint lovers, but no fix.
same here with the newest steelH rom. i nadroided back to stock and it worked? any idea what the issue is and how to fix this? i also did a data profile restore to no avail.

I've done some searching around the threads and found a few pertaining to this problem. I've tried everything they've suggested ( from simply rebooting to finding the msl and going in to tinker with the data) and nothing has worked.

hi. so i dont know if you solved this issue yet . it doesnt pull up the tread. but anyway if you havent.... i just dealt with the same thing .and for me it was as easy as going to the sprint website and signing in. then i changed my password in the account>> update or edit profile . and i took my battery out for a few minutes and rebooted it.. its worked flawlessly for me. hope it helps and its easy enough if it doesnt you started simple. atleast you dont have to go through a big run around first. it might be something as simple as just changing your password
Hello, I am new here but have intermediate experience with devices.
Alright time to throw everyone for a loop lol, hopefully someone can help me out.
Here is my problem:
My phone is not connected to a network.
Here is what I have:
Samsung Galaxy S III with Metro PCS (NOT rooted, and with latest PRL and software updates)
What happened:
I woke up yesterday to find my phone not on Metros network, and not on a partner network. My 4G still works though, I can access internet but just can not call/txt or receive either.
In Settings > About Device > Status, here are some of the satus'...
Network: Searching for Service
Signal Strength: -93dBm 47asu
Mobile Network Type: LTE:14
Service State: Out of Service
Roaming: Not Roaming
My Phone Number: Unknown
Min: Unknown
PRL Version: 0
Things I've Done So Far:
Contacted Metro through phone support and Facebook support, neither could help fix the problem.
Took my phone into a Metro store and they wont honor a repair since my screen has a hairline crack in the screen. (which I will also say, they noted that already on my account...)
I've already went to *#22745927 and enabled the hidden menu multiple times (cause it disables with each restart) and I've went to **772 to view my MDN and MSID (MIN) and the MDN shows nothing and MSID has a 10 digit number (that's not the right number for my account), so I tried to edit them to the numbers that I know are correct and after I hit done, the phone restarts but then when it comes back on, nothings changed, and when viewing **772 again, the numbers don't save in the fields.
I know *#197328640# lets you access the service menu, but I don't really feel like touching any of that and making things worse (unless someone knows how to fix this issue through the service menu then ill do it)
Now that my long winded speech is done, its your turn to try and solve this dilemma and help me out please
I hope this is the right section to post in, sorry if it is not.
Thanks in advance to any help ^^ if anyone's got any other questions, ill try to answer them best as I can.
With your Device not being Rooted, the options are limited. Also a bit more clarification. You say you have no Signal / Network. But yet you also state you have 4G, and can access the Internet. That is a bit contradictory. It sounds like you may need to have the Device Flashed to Metro again, as something may have gone wonky.
Try to dial *228 then call and see if it will go through an activation process of some kind. If it does, let it go through until successful then reboot your phone.

Dial code ##72786# is supposed to reactivate you phone. That might fix your problem. Alternatively, you can try writing a PRL that you know works with Metro.
You can dial ##DATA# and go to View. Some ROMs (even stock ROMs) have a "Write PRL" option. If your ROM does not have that, you can try the HiddenMenu.apk trick and see if that fixes it for you.
If PRL is 0, then it is not scanning for sites. LTE is handled by a different function, not PRL. Voice/Text rely on PRL to function. Hopefully the PRL fix helps you.
I have attached hiddenmenu.apk that has PRL Write enabler. Just download and install as normal app. If it does not work and breaks your dialer, simply reboot. The HiddenMenu is only temporary until you reboot, it reverts back to hiddenmenu under /system.

Yea I'm not totally sure why I can access 4G data but not the network.
I brought my phone into a Corporate Metro store and they told me it might be a faulty CDMA antenna but I don't think an antenna issue would put my PRL to 0 and not show my phone number or MIN.

I tried to use the dialer with Wifi on, with 4G Data on. Even tried to use Metros "Joyn" service which lets you make calls and texts over data connection but the issue is, I did a factory reset already and by doing that it wiped the Joyn data from my phone. Now when I go to start "Joyn" up, it says it needs to be able to connect to Metros Network for the first time set-up so I cant do that since I cant connect to the mobile network (CDMA).
I still need to try what Ascertion said.

I have attached hiddenmenu.apk that has PRL Write enabler. Just download and install as normal app. If it does not work and breaks your dialer, simply reboot. The HiddenMenu is only temporary until you reboot, it reverts back to hiddenmenu under /system.

Downloaded that file and there is no .apk file in it, so there is nothing to install...

Yea I went there, I asked how to install it since I don't see a .apk file anywhere and they said the APK is the download.
Usually you can download a file with the extension .apk then install it from your phone easily but since there is no file in that download with the file extension ".apk" then I don't see how I can install...
Quick update:
Got that download to change to .APK by simply renaming the file extension.
But after I loaded it to my phone and tried running it, it greeted me with an "Application Not Installed" message.
Hey everyone,
So I've been flashing ROMs on my Epic for about 2 years now, and I'm very VERY used to troubleshooting issues and solving them by either browsing the forums or doing it myself. However, I CANNOT get 4G to work on this phone except for stock EC05. I am currently running 4.3 with the latest gapps on the new Carbon Unofficial epicmtd ROM, with deodexed FC09 radio. I get **** service and can't connect to 4G. This happens consistently with all the ROM's I've used as well as the radios for anything past CM7. Does anyone know what I can do to remedy this situation? I would really like to not have to flash it over to another carrier due to sprint being horrible service providers.
tl;dr how do I get 4G working on FC09

I offer this suggestion with much caution....
Ever consider using EFS Clear within Odin? You'll have to setup your phone again, but it could help.
WARNING: This will completely delete your phone identification and you won't be able to reconnect to Sprint's network until you set it up manually again. Write down all your pertinent information, such as MEID #, phone number, etc..
From stock FC09, I recall having to do the following to enter the information:
Enter in the dialpad: ##785468#
Press Edit
Touch the number area to input your phone number.
Input your phone like: 5551112222 (Where you have area code and then phone with no dashes, spaces or parenthesis)
Hit return
Input your phone number like before in the next field
Hit return
Hit done
Manually update your profile in Settings > About Phone > Status
You can always just call up customer care and ask them the steps on how to reconnect your phone to the network. I just said a little cousin starting hitting buttons and when I grabbed the phone it refused to allow calls, text and data.

Nevermind, I understand now. How much success have you had with this process? And do I just need the phone's status splash screen information or am I manually entering EVERYTHING?
