a little help?

I am trying to activate an optimus v on page plus. The original files went kaput with megaupload. I have tried like eight times to flash the Mirage rom but everytime I either get stuck in a bootloop or it gets stuck in the little cyan skateboarding dude. I am able to flash CM7.2RC0-BobZ fine through IHO Recovery, but can't do the same with Mirage. here are my steps... erase data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format boot/cache/data/sdext/system, install Mirage rom and google apps from sd card. Reboot, and stuck in that loop. am i doing something wrong? any help is much appreciated.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I don't see that problem but you can try the following. If you are able to flash BobZ (or MiRaGe for VM), boot with it once. Then boot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik-cache only and flash MiRaGe for VZW over it. Boot again once and then flash gapps.
[Optimus V Android Development] ibeaguy:
I just tried your RC1 release and it worked! So i'm one step closer.

*228 always fails even though i've put the 52299 prl on the phone. I also tried manually programming the phone (##Virgin# change MDN and MIN). not working. i should just stop being cheap and buy a verizon phone, haha.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
The 03172012 build of MiRaGe modified for VZW network is here. MD5sum: 849e8f665707c409e63d6f20786b984c. Please see my post in the IHO thread for changes.

mrg666,

Do you know why new not activated phone can be used in PPC? Is it because no MSL generated yet?

And did you flash the rom before or after you activate the phone on PPC?

Thanks
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I can only guess that there is a common database of serial numbers and once the phone is activated with VM it always appears to the other carriers as VM activated phone. Even if you deactivate it, the phone only reactivates with VM.

Activation of a new phone with PPC is a two step procedure. I have done the activation through Kitty Wireless since it was free with them at the time. Through their web page, I gave the serial number of the phone and I received their confirmation with the following instructions

______________________________________________

The first thing you must do after a NEW ACTIVATION is to program your device. Here is a step-by-step process on how to do that:

STEP 1: Please remove the battery from your device, wait 15 seconds, and put it back in.

STEP 2: Provided the device you wanted to be activated (as mentioned below in your form) is a native Verizon device, you should be able to dial *22890 then press SEND/TALK. This will complete the Over-the-Air Programming process.

NOTE: If for some reason *22890 SEND/TALK does not work, try dialing *228, Pressing SEND/TALK, and then selecting Option 1 for OTA Programming.

NOTE: Sometimes neither *228 SEND nor *22890 SEND will work for a device, and in that case, the last thing we can recommend is to try to dial *22801 and press SEND. Sometimes this last one, *22801 SEND, will work for older Alltel devices.

_____________________________

Before doing all these, you need to flash the PRL in the OP, root the phone, and flash the IHO recovery (I use flash image app). Then, flash the VZW-modded ROM I posted. You might need to clean wipe and flash the ROM several times. That was all needed for me.

mrg666,

Thanks a lot for the step by step instructions, I will try it out and I have confident it will work.
[Optimus V Android Development] Shiping:
Should I flash the PRL the last step after flashing your rom?

Where can I download the PRL for Verizon? The original one in OP seems not available now.

Thanks

Update:

Found the prl file from other thread.

Now one thing I am not sure: Do I have to find that MSL mentioned by the OP? Since it is not activated, I am not sure if I can find it.

Update:

Found MSL.
[Optimus V Android Development] Shiping:
Stuck on activation

Successfully flash the VZW rom and change RPL file, and buy activation from Kitty.

Now I am stuck on activation. The problem is: It shows 2 to 3 signal bars before doing activation. But once it starts dialing *228 or any other number, all the bars disappear! So can not even call out. I think it is related to network settings, but have no clue how to correct this.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Since roaming capabilities has not been updated yet, I would try the following

Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile networks -> System select

either "automatic" or "affiliated networks"

When dialing *228 long press menu button to bring the keypad.

After initial programming, you can call back *228 with option 2 to update the roaming capability and latest PRL.
[Optimus V Android Development] Shiping:
Still no luck.

The interesting thing is: once press SEND, the signal bar immediately dropped to 0. So no call can be made.

When activating, Kitty also give me a MIN number, mentioned it maybe used for manual programming. Is there a way to change MIN number on the phone.

QPST no longer working after flashed the rom. (0317)

And, on in build.prop you provided, there are several Verizon_Wireless, do I need to change them to Verizon as someone mentioned in the thread?

Thanks
[Optimus V Android Development] Huskehn:
Hey, HTC Evo here. I tried to download the file pack to help me get this working on Verizon, but the link appears to be down. Could you kindly re-upload it to Mediafire or something? Thanks!
[Optimus V Android Development] Shiping:
The biggest problem is with 317 VZM build, not matter what I tried, it can not connected to QPST or CDMA demo. I could not do any changes, I guess.
[Optimus V Android Development] Shiping:
I found QPST works in recovery mode.

So I update my MIN, MDN and SID. Still not working.

I got a pageplus.prl from kitty, send to phone, and found the signal is surprisingly good.

But when I dialed *228, it goes to metro-pcs!!!!

change back to Verizon prl, go back to previous status again.

So, maybe the prl I got (from one thread in this forum) is bad or obsolete.

Can anyone upload a new prl file?

Thanks

Is it

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 PM ----------

I am not in my home area - my phone is registered in South CA but I am now in north CA, will this cause problem? My phone says roaming when I got metroPCS signal.
[Optimus V Android Development] Shiping:
Finally make it work - I can make and receive calls on PPC, send and receive sms. But no data yet.

Do not remember exactly how to make it worked, here are something I think useful.

1. Use QPST to modify MIN, MDN, SID and write PRL.

2. Use correct/latest PRL. Last one I used is 52644.

3. QPST not always work as expected - before doing anything, it only work when the phone is down. After flashed new ROM, it only worked on recovery mode. I do not know why.

4. I flashed VZW build on 0317 provided by mrg666, followed by PRL changing. Previous version did not work for me.

Thanks mrg666 for wonderful work and great help.

Cheers,

---------- Post added at 12:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 AM ----------

using 03172012 build, 52644.prl, and qpst to change MIN,MDN and SID. It will work. :D:

It is a good phone though.
[Optimus V Android Development] Shiping:
Now the bad news:

After wake up in the morning, the com.android.phone crashed. No way to turn on wireless radio. Has to put it on airplane mode now.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
I think it is due to changes you had done with QPST. If you can restore them and do *228 option 2 it should fix the problem.
[Optimus V Android Development] Shiping:
I tired it a couple of times. After fresh flashing, it works, I can make call and send mms through PPC. After reboot, It crashed immediately (com.android.phone)
[Optimus V Android Development] Shiping:
It seems VZW rom is not as stable as others. I never got it work the first time, but I tired to flash backside rom twice, all work on first try.

Now I am on backside rom, with roaming indicator on. But I tried to send a sms, make a short call, it did not charge more.
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
There is no problem with the VZW ROM I have posted. It works completely fine for me. If you want to use another OV ROM, you need to do the mods in the OP to use them on the VZW network. I hope you did those with BACKside. In addition, mms app and build.prop also needs to be modified. You can see them in the ROM I have posted. I will not post again in this thread since this is a complex mod and requires too much support. Good luck to everyone.
[Optimus V Android Development] Shiping:
Thanks for the rom and all useful information. I did not mean the rom is not stable when using. just every time I tried to flash the VZW rom, I need to try several times to make it work, while other roms mostly working on first try.

My phone works for about a week and suddenly shut down. After power it on, the phone.apk force closed all the time, and from settings, not phone info is available - such as imei, phone number etc,all 0.

I tried to locate EFS folder, but could not find it. Not sure if it should be there in the phone. Using QPST can read all the phone related info though.

So I guess when Android startup, it somehow did not read these information. I know nothing about this, just pure guessing.
[Optimus V Android Development] kingohearts2005:
So is this also saying that if you have an optimus v that has been activated on virgin mobile, that device cannot.be used on page plus?
[Optimus V Android Development] worldindo1:
That is actually untrue and you should reconsider that warning. Changing your ESN is perfectly legal, as long as the donor ESN you're using is owned by you. If you own a Verizon phone and want to use a different phone, ESN swapping is perfectly legal. If you think about it, you're still paying the same price for the same service, just using a different phone.

[Optimus V Android Development] El Schisne:
I've set up the phone to use the Verizon network--thank you very much for packaging together the ROM for it, mrg666! Unfortunately, after successful activation, I'm having a problem. Incoming and outgoing SMS works, as do incoming calls; however, outgoing calls do not.

Sometimes, an outgoing call will say it dialed successfully and begin counting seconds, though there's no sound. The call then drops at 34 seconds. (Edit: meanwhile, the phone it's calling does not ring.)

Most often, though, an outgoing call is met with an automated message that begins with:

Has anyone else experienced something like this?
[Optimus V Android Development] mrg666:
Did you flash a Verizon PRL using QPST? After that, did you try dialing *228 with option 1 first and option 2 later? These are the only suggestions I have.
[Optimus V Android Development] El Schisne:
Yes, and yes. The current PRL is very recent. After *228ing it, I don't see anything wrong in QPST--it looks the same as any Verizon phone. Thanks for your suggestions! I think I'll have to give up on this one, unless someone here comes up with some brilliant idea. :)

Boo CDMA!

problem w/ Mobile IP programming

I'm actually having the same problem here.

I have everything working on the phone (it's an Optimus S): calls and text and 1x data works.

However, 3G does not work. I think it's because the HA/AAA keys are wrong.

I have the keys that need to be written, but they don't stick.

The service provider is a Sprint MVNO.

OTA programming fails. "Profile update" returns error code 67 and *228 says phone cannot be activated.

I've tried writing them in with QPST, DFS, LGNPST...nothing seems to work.

I can see the keys in DFS if I do the LGNPST NV read and then DFS read, and that's how I can see that the keys are wrong and not the ones that I want.

Does anyone know how I can get the phone to take the keys I write in? Thanks!
[Optimus V Android Development] forceps42:
AAA/HA keys appear correct, but still no 3G?

Well, I did figure that one out. Turns out the MEID has to be all 0s before any of the AAA/HA keys will stick. Sneaky little thing.

Now the phone will do profile updates and PRL updates just fine. The error 67 is now gone and everything seems like it should be working. Despite all that, there is still no 3G, only 1x. The debug menu lists the AN-AAA status to be "pending". Does that mean that I still have the AAA key wrong? How could that be since it's the keys now match that of the donor phone?

If somehow I do have things wrong, will deactivating the line (with the carrier) and activating it again make things work now that the phone is (presumably) configured correctly?

As a note, the donor phone is one that would only support 1x. I can't imagine that would matter, but just in case that's an issue.

Thanks!
[Optimus V Android Development] forceps42:
3G issue solved

Solved this one too. Turns out I can't use the PRL from the 1x donor device (that was being fed OTA) as it doesn't seem to connect to 3G towers. I loaded a PRL from a 3G phone and all was immediately well. Thanks!
[Optimus V Android Development] l0h:
forceps42,

Thank you a lot for your hint on how to make "M.IP" and "PPP Config" settings to stick with zeroed MEID!!! :good:

But I can't move future from this step... As soon as I return MEID/E SN back from zero to the desired number obtained from donor and then reboot the phone, my settings in "M.IP --> Mobile Profile 0" and "PPP Config --> AN settings" automatically changed to something else. :confused:

So, basically I can change and stick the settings with zeroed MEID, but they will revert back as soon as MEID is not zero.

I assume you already went through the same experience. I would really appreciate your advice.

Thank you in advance!

So has anyone used the prepaid phone samsung u360 from the 50 dollar plan and been able to get 3g working?
[Optimus V Android Development] procter:
I'm on the same boat. Here is what I did:

1. Had to use CDMA WS 2.7 to zero ESN out for the optimus s (no zero MEID option in CDMA workshop, and the DFS did not work for ESN/MEID zero out)

with DFS 4.0.4 demo

2. change HA/AAA in profile 0 and write to phone (with user name being my MEID@hcm.sprintpcs.com). in "data" tab, I had AN username: MEID@hcm.sprintpcs.com, change AN password and AN password long with the 32 bit AAA I got from the donor (checked "password" checkbox)

3. reboot the phone and use LGNPST read NV+DFS read, I saw profile 0's AAA sticks to the value I wrote, but the username blanked out

4. Changed back ESN/MEID, and had to change MIN and MDN (they got zero out too when I changed ESN to 00000).

5. reboot the phone, check the profile 0 value, AAA changed back to another value (tried the process several time, everytime I ended up with the same value).

So what did I do wrong?
[Optimus V Android Development] Asadullah:
What you need to do is install anycut and make a shortcut to either cdg2 or lg hidden menu depending on your software version. Open up lghiddenmenu or cdg2 and go to Data settings and click on ppp carrier then change it from sprint to undetermined. Your phone will reset after you try exit out of there.

couple things I forgot is that I successfully flashed an lg marquee but no matter what it wouldn't get 3g I couldn't figure it out. I talked to a rep about that and I had to dial *228 and choose reprogram phone. After success it immediately worked great.

The samsung u360 donor phone worked great. I still had the drivers from the samsung intensity II so it installed almost immediately.
[Optimus V Android Development] Asadullah:
here's a video on flashing it also works with the marquee http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INE_6urwZ00&feature=plcp
[Optimus V Android Development] demoport:
Has anybody had success lately activating the LG Optimus V to PagePlus? I just tried and they said that the system is rejecting the device with the code "DEVICE_REJECTED" when trying to port the phone.

I'm not sure why they would reject the phone since its not tied with Virgin Mobile anymore and clearly people here have had success using it on PagePlus...

Edit: Fixed.. The online porting system wasn't working. Just call customer service over the phone and they will be able to activate it for you. They will be able to activate the phone using the HEX number.

Also you will need to change your MSL Code to 000000 after changing your PRL as well in order for you to activate your phone using *228, then long pressing the menu key and hitting 1.

Here is a brief how to:

1. Download and install CDMA Workshop "Demo is fine"

2. Open CDMA Workshop and choose the COM PORT # that your phone is connected to "You should know this already since you changed your PRL" then hit the Connect button.

3. Click the Security tab

4. On the bottom right it says SPC User Lock with an empty box above it. Enter your MSL Code of your phone and click SPC then Send. It should say device unlocked successfully or something similar.

5. Now click SPC again then Write 000000.

Done.

Is the good & similar autostitch apk than is Autostitch for iOS?

I'd like to find apk that allows we same feechers than AutoStitch... multiple pictures, and especially not only horizontal or vertical stitches...

"AutoStitch is the only app that can stitch images in any order or arrangement, including vertical, horizontal, or mixed arrangements. It achieves unmatched quality by using full resolution camera images rather than lower-resolution video input.

To get started, use any camera app to snap some overlapping photos from the same location. Then simply select the photos you wish to combine in AutoStitch and touch "Stitch". AutoStitch uses state-of-the-art technology that automatically recognizes and smoothly combines overlapping images, making panorama creation on the iPhone easy, fast and fun.

Features:

- Simple and intuitive interface. Just select images and touch "Stitch"

- Works with any arrangement of overlapping images taken from a single location

- Stitch any number from 2 to 20 or more images

- Crop the result with automatic or manual cropping

- Share your creations by email or upload to Facebook

- *New* Upload to Twitter!"
