Virgin Mobile USA working data/mms/3g settings discovery thread

Any updates on this subject?

I've got an Optimus V. I plan on rooting it later tonight. Just tell me what and how and I'll try my best to help out. Would love to see the Evo on Virgin Mobile USA.

Yeah, post all of the non-unique to phone nv items: 465 and 1194 (if they are not phone specific). Which has the AAA key, since it is specific, right?

The 1194 on my Optimus V has 62 contiguous pairs of hex data, the rest are zeroes. 465 doesn't have much:

Since I don't see another way to get the AAA PW, I've gone through the NV Items file I downloaded out of the Optimus V tonight. It was a 300 page long txt file! I looked for 4~30 character strings in the items near the beginnings of the items. I've narrowed it down to 3 pages, and will look for some likely candidates and try them out one at a time. As far as I can tell, the Samsung Intercept according to [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] here on VM uses vmug33k for the HA PW (see post #6). For the AAA, he used a data log (logcat) to recover the AAA PW. I found this didn't work on the Optimus V- or maybe I wasn't doing it correctly- the process is different from the Intercept to the Optimus. I'll update if I get any results.

EDIT
Using past examples, I found that the Intercept on VM used a 12 digit text AAA PW, which would be 24 in hex (2 hex for one text character). I put in vmug33k as a user profile 1 text field in M.IP using QPST in another phone that QXDM can read user profiles on, and it returned a hex of 76 6D 75 67 33 33 6B. It appears to be basic encryption (note the consistency for "3" below), where:
76= v
6D= m
75= u
67= g
33= 3
33= 3
6B= k

Looking at my thinned-down NV ITEM file, there is only one 24 hex entry, and it's item 215 located at 0X00D7. The format is similar to other phones I've seen, it's preceded by a 00 in item 215.

That's my best guess for now. I don't have signal to test it here, but will do so later & update. Apparently the system locks you out for too many incorrect PW attempts, but it's only for 20-30 minutes each time.

UPDATE
QPST wouldn't allow a 24 character entry in M.IP, so I tried a couple of 16 character ones all with the HA of vmug33k. Still no luck. I tried to read the NAM1 A-key in CDMA WS but it didn't find anything.

Any updates with regards to progress? I've also tried to read the AAA using logcat... with Anycut pointing to the DATA, since ##DATA# doesn't work for the Optimus V. I had to use the second one labeled "DATA" as my shortcut, since the first one was a blank screen. But no luck getting anything useful from the logs.

Anyway, please update with progress and I will do same.

Thanks,
