arrgh I googled this problem and found some people that had the same problem and a person said they did ##72786# and it fixed it for him. I did the same and my phone rebooted and when it came back it tried to do the activation which keeps failing and retrying and failing etc. I cant make any calls and dont have internet. Lesson learned...

Did you try connecting to Wi-Fi and doing the activation?

It's possible there is a provisioning issue, or your account network-side isn't setup properly. I'm not at work, so I can't check if there is/was an issue today.

 

Do you have any other phones on the account? Are they working properly? Have you tried calling into Care to see if there are any outages or anything wrong with your account?

 

Are you sure you paid your bill, or maybe you are over your spending limit? :P I think you'd be surprised how often this is the culprit. Even with customers that have always paid it on time in the past. We all forget things occasionally.

i used to have this problem on my Epic 4G. Has been awhile so I cant remember what the fix was.

 

Are you connected to an Airave by chance? I do remember certain activations would not work when connected to an Airave.

Hello.

 

Sorry I didnt provide an update to this thread.

 

The way I was able to fix it was by canceling the activation thing that came up by itself every time I rebooted and I went to settings and went to the "activate this device" and that worked.

 

I stil cant update PRL, Profile or Firmware though! Same error !?

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
