[DEVELOPMENT] My Work on the Prevail

[Dr.Ama]

2, make sure you disable "always-on mobile data"... This will make 3g shut off if the phone is asleep, and then it will re-enable for a brief few minutes to check for emails/updates, then turn back off, while the phone is asleep... But will re-enable when the phone is being used.

how do you access this menu? All i can find is where i can toggle 3g on or off.

can u pm me how to get the ha and aaa passwords as well

[micha3lall3n]

nevermind did alittle research last night found out some useful info for the prevail... i couldnt get cdma workshop to pick up prevail so i used the alternate method heres what i found

first you want to root your prevail... google works great for this aslo check http://androidforums.com
next step you want to download a android terminal... free on android market!
now go to android terminal and type

su
getprop ril.MSL

your 6# spc then should pop up


now to get nv items go back to your android terminal

su
dd if=/dev/stl5 of=/sdcard/cdma.rfs

then plug ur phone to computer with usb, turn storage space and copy the cdma.rds file off sd to desktop and use the magic iso
to extract to destop open the cdma.rf file you extracted and go to NVM folder then open the NUM folder and copy the
465, 465_1, 466, 466_1, 1192, 1194 files there the ones that you need...

ha and aaa pass are stored in the nv items, you need to use a hex editor to veiw the nv item you want

NV 1192 - SPRINT AAA KEY UNIQUE TO EACH PHONE this is the important one
SPRINT and BOOST HA KEY is always 73 65 63 72 65 74 (hex to ascii = secret)
I am not sure which NV item has the Boost AAA Keys, but doing a profile update gets it loaded on the phone


the 16 digit password for the prevail is samsungs default pass...
01f2030f5f678ff9


this info is for "educational purposes" for anyone who wants to "back up" there phone

Look at post# 18. Tells you how to get it.

466 is your profile ha and aaa passwords. Open it with a hex editor. The ha password is 73 65 63 72 65 74. The aaa password is a little bit after that in the same file. It is 10 followed by a bunch of numbers.

They should be this long (16 characters)

Can you sent it to me too, cause I think I got the wrong one cause my flashed phone won't go to the internet. kind of frustrated looking for a way to do it. I used QXDM and I get an error message, and could not get it. Also, I could not get it from the file "cgps_sm.conf". Please help.

I sent you a PM about how to get the HA and AAA keys, if you didn't get it, PM me. I got the same things you did. There is a root method on adroidforums.com. I have used it and it works.

Is there any possible way to change the SPC to all zeros on this phone??

Thanks

[kolosus]

Use CDMA WS. Send the default Samsung password. If the SPC shows then send that too. Replace the SPC with all 0s. Write it... use the default method.

Thanks for the reply, but WS doesn't work with this phone.

[gotanmp3]

Thanks for the reply, but WS doesn't work with this phone.

Open it first in QXDM or QPST, then exit, that'll make it visible to CDMAWS.

[kolosus]

Hi Yunior. How are you? How old are you? Have you been reading the forums long?

The answer to your question is in this thread. Read the whole thread and you'll find the answer.

Oh what the flower! The answer is on post #21. And on post #18. Read. Follow instructions.

Thanks for the terminal trick. My issue now is that the necessary files are not in the cdma.rfs. 465, 1192, etc are not in the file. Would a factory reset restore this information or is it due to the fact that it's locked as a couple other methods show access denied?
