Shift on boost. Internet not working even though authenticated

I have had my evo shift on boost for awhile now and flashed it myself. When I got my "bad esn" ebay phone it was activated on sprint and still working 100%.

When I cloned I used my sprint touch pro which was on boost as donor and copied the meid/esn but nothing else. When it OTA activated, 3g was working great for a few months(i guess off the previous sprint user's account, but I incorrectly assumed it was from the hands free). Recently it had dropped down to 1x only and ##debug# showed 2-authentication failed. I Tried copying the ha/aaa from the touch pro but can't get them with QXDM, and I spent hours looking through nvitems trying to find them.

So I bought a rant, had my service transferred there, and then copied meid, esn, ha/aaa secrets, and all settings from rant to shift. I zeroed esn/meid with revkills qmat script. Now it says 1-authenticated, but no internet at all. Also, i can't hands-free activate it anymore. If I do, it will lose msl, msid, and ha/aaa secrets and i will have to restore settings in QPST service programming from a previous save. Before I switched to the rant I could OTA program fine.

Anyone have any ideas? Help is much appreciated at this point. I am desperately in need of internet on my phone bc I am a consultant and constantly having to email clients on the road.
Thanks!

Have you seen this thread at XDA at all?

[Q] Thread for Evo Shift on Boost Mobile - xda-developers

I don't have any experience with Boost personally but I did run across this recently and remembered your post.

I have seen that thread and read the whole thing. I don't think it really applies to my problem. I had internet and MMS working fine before. Now it says authenticated, but not working.

Really sucks!
