Metro PCS

I wish Metro PCS was on Wimax for 4G Sucks to not be able to access it with flashed E4GT! :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JamesEh408:
I tried this and it did not work for me. I am surely rooted and on GB27 deodexed from KoBridge...anyone else having issues or have any advice?

Thanks in advanced
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mosez Pouring Beard:
You wont get this to work on a jellybean rom. Sometime in the ics days they (samsung, sprint, Da Man) patched it so we couldn't real msl. If you need to get it, your best bet is to downgrade your phone to before they patched it.

I don't know the specifics of kernel revs to when they patched it off hand, but you oughta be able to find it with some diligent searching :)

Wow, thank you for this autoprime and sbrissen. I'm on the Epic 4G D700 and like isangmahal mentioned, in the WiMax CT menu the SET option is not there and you can't change the WiMax MAC running GB or higher. I took your suggestion and downgraded all the way down to Froyo, and I was able to change the MAC! After I changed it, I restored back using a backup I had made, and the MAC address stuck and didn't change. Awesome, can't wait to try this out with a 4G provider (I'm currently using Straight Talk Verizon with my Epic right now). Thanks again!!! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latinlover515:
can you run any sprint stock ICS or JB even or custom rom on the galaxy s2 boost mobile version ? i know this is not the correct thread but since you brough it up here i was sorprised to read that from mhannigan.. but i never got and answer.. so that way i can do the same to my friend phone.. since he has the galaxy s2 boost mobile version and i have the sprint version of this phone running on boost with the 4g on clear wireless
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Yes, you can. The only differences between the carriers is you'll need to change your mms url to boosts url and possibly the apn (I cant really remember)

In any event, there are tutorials all over the place on how to do this. Just do a quick search, or browse through these forums. A good person to ask would be jdsingle, he has boost and virgin deodexed roms in development section
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] StifflerServices:
what exactly are we supposed to edit in the mac address with in Debug stage? or is it what pops up automaticly after hitting "Open Device"?

Also i extracted the derp.zip and moved the file to the system/app folder but it didnt replace factory Ct cause it wasnt there....normal? running GB27 touched by GS4 Rom. any help would be appricated. 4g is 15 miles south of me in Columbus ohio. but im sure there is other 4G in my area from other carriers id like to jump on...Thanks in advance
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
First off, you can't do this with JB, you'll have to make a backup, regress to GB, perform the tasks in the OP, then restore your JB backup. The other issue you're running into is the lack of a donor device. You will be substituting the MAC address and realm of your E4GT with the donor devices MAC address and realm. You won't be able to just hop on to any 4G signal. It has to be a WiMax signal, and it has to be the one the donor device uses. I hope that helps clear a few things up. Good luck!

Bugging up my phone, so you don't have to!

Any way to set to.default? I cant even turn my 4g on anymore
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nevezen:
The E4GT does not support LTE, period. iirc, it's Exynos SoC just doesn't support it. I believe only broadcom's Snapdragons have LTE capability. There are variants of the SG3 that use either of the two SoC's..

I didn't need to flash mine to my current provider (verizon) at all. Actually, I use pagepllus, an mvno that uses their network. A quick call to their cs with your ESN on hand and everything is good to go, with ota programming.

I also use Clearwire so I got my data requirements fullfilled. Another quick talk with pp's cs to disable the phone's 3G capabilities on their end is doable as well. It's a hack with wimax_ct but you get what's advertised.

In my opinion though, clearwire isn't worth the trouble anymore. Their service just sucks. Limited coverage, overloaded towers (can only get ~1Mbps on a very good day) and fairly expensive. I would just opt going back to 3G seeing how vzw is milking it for their LTE rollout. And if I read correctly, they're planning to tear down the 3G/EVDO service as soon as next year).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] StifflerServices:
So I need to find a Wimax Ver, Tm or Att device(fone) and get the mac and realm off one of them correct? And this should get me on any wimax from all or just the doner?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Assuming they are still using the wimax on their towers it will work for the donor address

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] StifflerServices:
Ok and if it for some reason doesn't, how do I reset back, (sry if this was already asked)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Basically you'd do this same operation but replace with stock sprint info. Also I'm not sure, but a stock Odin flash may fix it also, but I'd only try that as a last resort:beer:

LTE alternatives available?

Ran across an article that WiMax is likely to be taken down over the next few years. If this is true, is there an alternative with any LTE phones to do the same?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
nope, LTE requires much more authentication than just a MAC address like WiMax. The 4G fun will comes to an end.

Something may change in the future.. but for now... theres no hacking LTE in any way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Titchener17:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nevezen:
Looks like Clear is now merged with Sprint.

I upgraded my E4GT to CM10.1, 4.2.2. The Wimax_CT apk no longer works nor touch codes.

Since Sprint stop having.wimax towers will this Work?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
If you still have Wimax in your area. The town where I work still has it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
From what I've read, Sprint is not stopping wimax service(ie, 4g), just not building anymore 4g towers, and have migrated to 4g LTE. I have the e4gt and the s3, and both have 4g and 4g LTE, respectively
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
They don't plan to completely phase it out till 2015, but they are slowly switching Wimax towers over in certain areas.

I bought a 4g only bolt usb from freedompop and setup by OP's instruction, it works very well.Thanks !!!:good::good::good:

So I bought another 3g/4g compatible drive pro and hoped that my phone would get 3g when is out of 4g coverage. The problem is that I could not get 3g signal now. Is there anyone could help me with that?

I'm pretty sure I did the correct setup as before, also there is 3g signal/data coverage when I use a post-paid sprint plan phone.And yes,I activate the freedompop drive pro's 3g service, my laptop could access the internet via this mini-router at 3g speed.But not working on my smartphone.

BTW, it's sph d710 with stock rom JB4.1 kernal GB27.

Any advice is appreciated.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zlltt:
I'm using a sprint gs2 sph 710 just retiring from a sprint contract. So basically no service(voicedata) with this phone right now.

update:

1 I modified the phone's mac address as the same to the freedompop drive pro,which is a router device providing 3g and 4g data.

2 modified the realm.

The problem is that it keeps redirecting to 4g.freedompop.com, no matter website i go. And also no 3g sign and no other data connection.

I googled a trick on this problem

"go to wimax ct---- open device---- touch 'load default' in the bottom -----save and quit it should be fine "

But i'm not lucky. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Unfortunately no, I'm not remotely familiar with those devices. I was merely asking because if the modem was incorrect it may have been causing issues.

One thought is to maybe check the ##data# and change the proxy urls to that setting. Might not work, I don't know.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zlltt:
Thank you for your reply.

The most wired is that it's my second gs2 to flash a FP mac in order to get FP data.

The first one is a 4g-only device and works very well. That's why i bought the second one ,which is supposed to have 3g service.

but now:angel::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Thank you anyway.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] the13thstraycat:
Wimax stats when connected

What statistics does anyone on an mvno get when unable to use 4g/wimax (the reason for editing the MAC address)?

I successfully BYOSD'd 2 different e4gts to my mvno (Kroger iwireless). The 1st was fresh off a Sprint account and after I broke the display digitizer a week later I bought a 2nd one, fresh off a Ting (but originally off a Sprint account). On both stock JD 4.1.2 unrooted (and rooted) I would able to connect well in a good Wimax coverage area everytime, but would never get data off 4g. The results were always the same, I would be assigned a bogus IP off a pool owned by the DOD in a facility in AZ, the IPs always were 6.6.*.* and would change depending on which tower I was connected to I'm assuming, but always started with 6.6. As soon as I turned of 4g, my 3g would kick in and data would work again.

On the 2nd phone that came off Ting, I edited the Wimax Realm back to Sprintpcs from mvno102.sprintpcs.com but the IPs assigned to me were always the same.. 6.6.xx.xxx.. Iwireless tech said this problem was over their heads and could not figure out what the problem was. I'm pretty sure they use a stock sprint phone without changes because when I first switched to them 3 years ago before byod they sold me a stock sprint LG Optimus S but neglected to have me change the mms url to www.plspictures.com it never worked on the LG.

I've researched this and posted on the Sprint and s4gru boards but no solution yet. Is anyone on a smallish mvno and still unable to get data off Wimax?

TIA..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
does iwireless support sprint wimax in their normal data offerings? if not... wimax can be completely independent of what the rest of the device is tied to. if iwireless DOES support sprint wimax on their plans then you would need to edit the realm to whatever the custom realm they use is.

if you arent using a mac thats tied to an active wimax account you pay for... or dont have the realm set to whatever carrier the wimax is thru.. then wimax isnt going to work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Titchener17:
So would using the mac from my wifi Hotspot with vz work and count towards boost, and could it work with sprint lg g2-or nexus 5 on straight talk if went that route ? Pardon if question is too much feel free to bounce it. Been learning a good bit from you prime, though my question may seem otherwise. This settings from this guide totally helped connection duration and capability to from distance
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
you need a mac from an active wimax hotspot... vz = verizon? if so.. verizon doesn use wimax. they use evdo(3g) and lte(4g).

you would need an active wimax plan from ting or sprint or boost or clearwire for example.

lg g2 and nexus 5 do not use wimax.. they use lte. two entirely different wireless standards.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Titchener17:
Thank you very much for confirming ! You make the impossible possible and are knowledgeable so figured you would know if there was a way! I appreciate it AP !
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] the13thstraycat:
Thanks for the quick feedback AP! Yes iwireless supports wimax and I remember the e4gt on offer a while ago. I decided to go with the e4gt after reading their statement that on the byod (Sprint only) program, lte is permitted but not supported, but all byod phones will be supported with Wimax or 3g data, depending on their capabilities. They *do* currently offer 8 4g lte phones for sale.

As for the "Wimax Realm", the tech people had no idea what that even was, so I'm just assuming it was not something that needed to be changed if your phone was previously on a sprint account. That's why I changed the 2nd phone that was Sprint to Ting back to Sprint. I'm just curious if anyone else actually gets connected to 4g Wimax without error before they actually have to tweak their Wimax settings to get it to work. Shouldn't there be some kind of authentication error if not supported, rather than being assigned an IP belonging to the DOD?

See, more info would be helpful to us, and cut down a lot of these questions.

So I will make it more clear if I'm understanding this.

Using a MAC address authentication for access is a common thing. if you have working 4g, your MAC is already registered. Meaning you can access both Sprint/Clear 4g towers. By this edit, you can 'spoof' another registered MAC address to allow access to such towers.

I may be wrong, but the best I got.

So switching clear and sprint mac addresses will cause no increase in speed and coverage?

There's a good reason for the developer to maintain anonymity... That's probably why the OP doesn't want to discuss what this tool is for...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Actually, the values will be completely reset and a full reactivation would be necessary.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
the MAC address remains untouched after a 786 reset. whatever you change it to it stays. the other wimax settings such as entry rx etc WILL get reset as you said.. and yes.. after every 786 reset an activation will be required(or BS info in the mdn/msid/profile 1 data profile fields)... BUT anything edited in the NV sticks.. MAC edits/MEID edits/Refurb edits ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fonseca898:
There are perfectly legitimate and entirely legal reasons for anyone to do this.

As mentioned in the OP, editing your Entry Rx levels is often the difference between having Wimax and not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Yes, the mac will stick, the data will reset though.

if your modem is a Clearwire WiMax modem then yes. if your modem is a comcast/road runner/time warner/charter/etc.. then no, that wouldnt work.

this is only for wimax service on the phone. this isnt something magic that takes cable internet and makes it work on your phone.

Lol sorry bout that... and I'm not trying to give u a hard time, but as others state, its really not clear as to what we sometimes need to do... the steps are pretty easy don't get me wrong, but SOMETIMES its like "uhhh what's this for, or what now"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
is your epic touch on sprint? and if youre in a 4g area.. does the 4g work? if so then you dont need to do anything. if youre epic touch is on cricket or metro then you wouldnt have activate 4g since its not on sprint. this mod allows those people to fix that.

3. Go to the dialer.. enter ##DEBUG# > WiMAX CT > Open Device.. Edit MAC and hit set. Done.

for step1) i downloaded the derp zip, unzipped it, and put the derp folder on my phone.

Then for step2), i used root explorer, went to system/app and didnt know if i should replace the 96kb ct apk, or the 1kb ct apk thats in the macosx folder . Didnt even get to step 3 yet... Thanks

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
turn on 4g and see if it connects... if so then youre in 4g coverage.

editing the Entry Rx levels will only allow yo to connect to 4g at a lower signal.. it doesnt make any signal stronger or anything.

OK! Looking at the Clear map, my street is VERY much in the area of 4G. In fact, I'm within the dark green area and there is light green bordering my house after that.

Looking at that map, I would be led to believe, I have 4G. However both my EVO and my Epic Touch beg to differ. About a block down the road, I have 4G. I come a block down the road to my house, nothing.

This should allow me to hopefully catch a signal?

Also, what is the benefit of being able to edit the MAC ID? Maybe this doesn't matter for me?

Again, according to the map, I'm in the coverage area, according to the phone catching 4G, I'm a block too far away. What setting should I be editing to try to help with this?
