I purchased a used GS2 and registered it on Ting with no problems. But I haven't been able to complete activation -- any attempt to activate, update profile, update PRL, SCRTN, etc. comes back with the error "Connection Error" (no error number).
I assume this is caused either by not reaching the Sprint network, or faulty configuration. Anybody know if that's correct?
The phone appears to have been rooted/modded at some point, as the MSL was set to 000000. Also, when I first got it it would indicate roaming even when a block away from a Sprint tower with clear line of sight. That suggested to me that it had a bad or modified PRL file, so I installed a Sprint PRL (53401), and it no longer indicates roaming. I also installed a stock Sprint (GB27) rom, and did a factory reset, among other things
To help me figure out if it is an authentication or network configuration issue, can anyone tell me exactly what settings are required to make a network connection and complete a profile update/activation? I assume it needs the MSID and MDN ... but what else? Username? [If so, what is the proper value before the "@" -- phone number, MEID, first/last name?] HA and/or AAA password? Any of the various IP settings?
Status display says Sprint network, EvDo-rev.A:8, in service, not roaming, correct MIN and phone# -- that all seems right to me.
I've been working on this for a week, and am about ready to return it.
