I called in cuz I was trying to get my msl well I got it, but I also got no mobile data now! I even reaet the phone with Virgin on my home phone hard reset and nothing still can't get a 4 or 3g icon for the life a me! They cat explain it. I was entering a ##7 something in the dialer and i entered exactly what the 1st lady said and it made my data stop working. I had told her my prl wasnt updating thats why i needed my msl. She did this to help make the prl update im pretty sure, she was very hard to understand but all i know is I got a $35 credit but still what am I gonna do! I even lost all my stock wallpapers! Anyone have any ideas! Oh yah in a different post i mentioned I had yet to have a playstore crash well that happened for a 1st time too!

PRL & Profile update usually works.

-=Thanks are always appreciated and Happy Modding=-
 
I've tried that numerous times and they just flicker from me tapping them but nothing happens. That was the 1st thing I tried and virgin had me try it too! It is very weird that's for sure! Thank you for replying!

That's what happened after I uninstalled the Software Update, Update Center apps and Unused Apps. You didn't freeze or uninstall those did you?
 
Weird, a paranoid person might think they deliberately messed up your phone because you asked for your MSL. :P
I'm on Boost, I'm not familiar with Virgin's processes, but can you run through the activation setup again?
 
Well im glad to report I finally played with settings and stuff and so far so good, got my data back! I went into settings and went to activate device, then when it gave me the device activation failed call Virgin @ 1888 blah so i clicked the icon in the upper right hanf corner &figured i'd try and hit reset cellular data it rebootand bingo my beautiful sprint spark 4G. Icon came back &is working fine now. I cane believe I didn't try that last night, and I also cant believe Virgin never thought to do that! I do have the original ## dialercode that started this whole mess it was dial box ##139998# & that brought. Me to Service Program with 3 choices 1. View MDN or MSID, 2. Edit & 3. Done & the Virgin rep had me hitting 2& entering #'s that she read off to me and blam thats what started the mess. Hope that sorta explains it a lil better! Thanx for responding bg4m3r & Saxon.

No problem, that's what we are all here for.

So 139998 must be your MSL then aye :) make sure you keep it in a safe place for later development. You will need it when we get recovery/ROMs for various adjustments/fixes with the dialer codes for MMS issues, internal tethering, etc etc when/if they arise.

I tend to log everything that happens on a support call for later reference.

Glad to hear your back up and sparking again lol
