Hey, I read your post and wanna do this mod, but I've got a quick question on flashing ICS roms. I'm tryin to be extra careful since so many peeps have bricked their E4GT's. I was under the impression from the "how not to brick..." post that you shouldn't flash rom-over-rom on ICS yet, always Odin back to EL29, and flash your ICS rom from there.

Is ICS stable enough that I can flash one ICS build over another now? (Oh, and I'm not talking about Cyanogenmods or ASOP roms, just stable stock or semi-stock builds like Culkalin's, etc.)

I'm on an SIII theme FE22 build currently, btw. It would be nice to know I didn't have to Odin back to GB anymore before flashing, ya know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Sorry if this is handled, i havent read the while thread yet, but it chould be included in a net.tweak thread OP that id you are ever unable to regain your ideal (or in some cases, uaable at all) settings a simple ##72786# will reset your dsa value. It also resets exentions and proxy changes.

Because yes, these settings stick wipes.and flashes, but not full restores. A backup or a one click can always fix you.

Does anyone know of a data monitoring app/widget that can separately monitor WiMax usage from 3G?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Not that I can think of, but you should be able to that internally.

Why 3g and WiMax? If you dont mind me asking.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AZImmortal:
What internal monitoring are you speaking of? I'm using AOKP so if this is a TW feature, then I won't see it. I want to track the usage separately because in the event that I actually set my phone up with a limited WiMax provider, I'd like to know how much WiMax bandwidth I have left each month.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alex27power:
is there any form in which i can get the WiMax Realms of the 4g wimax Wind telecom in dominican republic?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stupidaznmunkey:
if you are updated to the latest OTA update, then you can see under the data section the difference between 3G and 4G downloads
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AZImmortal:
I'm using AOKP so unfortunately I can't use that feature. Any apps that can do that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alexchac:
why when a try use ##debug# the epic asked for a lock code? can u help me?

UPDATE : i got it, but i cant do it on ics, too bad !!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
777468 is your lock code. Don't confuse it with your msl code. Should work...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
So I'm confused, you have or have not gotten this to work on an ICS TW ROM? I can input a MAC address, but the "SET" button never activates.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
You have to go back to GB to edit and then it will stick, even after flasing ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
I saw that you had previously asked and no one answered. Thanks for clarifying!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vasiaeva:
Is there any way to back up 4g settings first???

And one more thing. It's look like anycut give possibility for easy way to get msl code. find shortcut CHECK MSL.

Edit ; it's does not work for me, phone reboot itself, but maybe ....

This still pisses me off... (not the thread)

SPRINT, i walk into a sprint store and ask "hey i have clear Wimax at home, BUT i can't get Wimax on my phone... why is that?"

yes i know they share all the same towers.

##786# says sprints wimax, doesn't anyone pass traffic?

only reason for me to root my htc design is for wimax, if i can get it on the Clear tower then i swap the usb dongle i have for my phone which would be ideal (ooooo charge and modem)

:crying:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
That shortcut doesnr work .

But MSL is something that the value of doesnt easily change so its easy enough to memorize..

So I see in the thread that you need to go back to el29 to change MAC

I have flashed el29 and rooted but the set button is still missing and cannot change mac what am I doing wrong?

Edit

Got it just needed the modified CT.apk
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
Here is a possibly unique question for you guys.

I have one of those FREEDOM POP wifi gizmo's Can I put the freedom pop info into my epic 4g touch and use that internet on the epic touch? would be really nice to have 500mb of data on that phone a month (not using it anymore since I have S3's now)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
It would be worth a try. I tried with NetZero wimax with no luck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
how would I "try" ??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Umm directions are in the OP..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
umm I don't think so. unless "ALL" I need is the mac address? I don't need to extract anything else from the freedom pop device? really? (I just can't imagine its that easy)

what about the realm? ie the OP has what to do with the Epic 4g Touch but what do I do with the donor device?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] random45:
Just play with it. I'm anxious to know if it works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
play with what. I don't have $90 to get another one if I bork it blindly :) hehe
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Bork what? Really man? Did you read the OP? You need the Mac address and the wimax realm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
Will it is freedom pop what is their realm?

If they seea bunch of failed logins asi try each one will that make them suspicious?

That isa alli need? No AAA keys or such encrypted junk like when you clone a phone?

That is all there is? The Mac on the sticker and the realm? Seems too easy... this is why I assumed the op was missing something like we can't tell people how exactly to CLone a phone to boost etc..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
I changed the mac. and it connects but the only thing that works is the web browser which takes me to clear.com

I don't seem to be able to do anything else there was a button that said we have a message for you but it failed to work (page or file not available)

I changed the realm to clear-wmx.net I am guessing this is wrong.

SO how do I figure out what "realm" freedompop uses ?

I tried freedompop.com which brings me to 4g.freedompop.com (info about your account like the core page on clear) but again click it goes no where.

so I tried 4g.freedompop.com as well. still no joy.

suggestions? is there an app or program or web util or anything I can use to "see" the realm if I connect to the hotspot?

------------------

HOLY FREAKING CRAP GOT IT WORKING !!!!!

It hit me I mistyped the MAC it was 00 not D0 (since my oem was D0 I thought it was also D0) on a hunch I tried 00 and it worked !!!

then I got a new page that said something about realm and provider !! so I changed realm back to freedompop.com and holy crap ITS WORKING

I now have my freedompop 4g on my S2 !!! yipee !!!!

follow instructions exactly as per the replace apk ct and use freedompop.com as the realm. SWEET !!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ebuks97:
Can this fix the super slow 4G on jellybean roms?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Only if you have a donor device, and even then, without the ability to update profile and prl (unless they've figured that one out) your modem won't be working at full potential. Your best bet is to ask that question in your ROMs thread with a link to this thread for reference. Hopefully someone with enough experience with that ROM will be able to provide better clarification.

Thanks for sharing the realm. Adding to OP. Glad to see WiMax is still alive and kickin'
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
Wimax is probably dead but 500mb a month for free? I will take it for as long as they are in business :) just buy the gizmo for $105! I can take that. gonna get me some more of them when I am able. I wonder if I can do the same thing with the USB Stick (much cheaper $55)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AZImmortal:
You should be able to do the same thing with the USB stick but I'm curious as to how people are getting the MAC addresses for these devices. Are they printed on a label on the device?

On a side note as far as "buying" devices go, you're not actually buying the device but rather you're putting down a refundable deposit, so you can return the device to them and they should give you a refund. However, the terms seem to state that they'll only refund you within a year of the beginning of the subscription. You might want to get that clarified with FreedomPop.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
I don't care about the refund part :) and yes the mac address is on the label.

I need help!

So I've had my epic 4g touch flashed from sprint to boost and lost my 4g connection(Denver, CO). I would really like to know how to get it back and these outdated forums have not helped me at all. I've tried the instructions below but it did not work for me. I am rooted but dont have any custom roms installed and I have the software FI27. Can someone give me a step by step instructions how to change the wimax adress?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Yeah check the opening post...

I'm looking at the Jellybean leak 4.1.2 FK23. Hope this CT.apk will work on that ROM also.

Just set up my Freedompop 4G MAC on my E4GT. It works well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] waterair:
can any body please help

I have tried this method exactly at least 6 times or more --NOGO and I still can't figure out why. If I use the original WIMAX CT file, then the window will pop up for edit, however, the SET icon next to MAC is gray out. If I use OP's WIMAX CT and try "repl1ca's suggestion, then the edit window not even can pop up for edit.

I also tried these ROMs and had a similar result as above, can someone please help and are there any other options that I can try???

Blu Kuban v2.0 02.13.12 EL29 2.3.6 rujelus22

Blu Kuban v1.0.5.1 10.31.12 FI27 4.0.4 rujelus22

Calk's 2.8.1 with Rogue 1.4.0 Stock
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Why don't you just use cm9? That ROM was the easiest to change settings. Might have to use an older build though (like alpha 6 maybe) if you can find it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
I remember running into a similar issue. You may be entering the MAC address in an incorrect format.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] waterair:
the issue I currently have is I don't have the SET button if I can opened the WiMax.ct and If I am using OP's modified WiMax.Ct, then I can't even able to click into the manual for editing.

I will give this a try and report back. I am not sure whether I have tried this ROM, but I did try so many ROMs in the the epic touch 4g ROM database list. Now, lost my 3g data connection after try so many ROMs and I tried many times reenter back my profiles and there still can't have 3g...sigh...so frustrate....:(.....

note: I edited the mac on my old phone (Epic 4g) and it did work very well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] waterair:
I tried the cm 9-20120907-experimental-d710-beta1, NO GO, first of all, ##DEBUG# and ##DATA# didn't respond on the key pad. If I use Root Explorer, I can see the WimaxHiddenMenu.apk and WIMAX_CFG.apk are local inside the folder of /system/app/. I used both Anycut or Android shortcutter and both of them doesn't have the shortcut choices for WimaxHiddenMenu.apk and WIMAX_CFG.apk.

Please help, are there any other suggestions that I can try?

EDIT1: tried another ROM today (New Senzation - GB 2.3.6 base on kernal EL29), NO GO again.

The result is the same as before on some of the GB ROMs I tried earlier. When I dial ##DEBUG#, I able to see the pop up manual for me to click on the WiMax_CT to edit. However, there are no "SET" button next the MAC, all others have the SET button except the one for MAC.

I replaced the system/app/CT.apk with OP's, then I boot to recovery mode: fix permission, and do the wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, then reboot. On the main screen, I try dial ##DEBUG#, input MSL, then when I click WiMAX_CT......NOOOOOOOOOOO respond again!!! ..........sigh.......don't know what else I can do.

EDIT2: I able to make the shortcut with the original CT.apk in the system/app/ and test it out, it works, but of course with the MAC "SET" button mission, then I replaced the original CT.apk with OP's CT.apk, the shortcut no longer working and it tells me that "The application isn't installed". When I try to make the shortcut with anycut again, then I am not able to find the WiMAX_CT anymore....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] waterair:
can I know which ROM you are using to get this working?....thanks in advanced.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
He says in the post...

He is using el29.

ooh...What I actually meant is what OS he was using to do the WiMAX setting (GB, ICS or JB). The exactly version may be better:laugh:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] waterair:

ok....thanks.

after tried so many times, the 4G finally works on my EPIC Touch 4G.......:laugh::laugh::laugh:

This is the setting that I used to do my WiMAX MAC

ParanoidAndroid , Android Version:4.1.2, FI27, CyanogenModVersion:10

This ROM initially wasn't work for me because of for some reason "Any Cut" fail to make the shortcut. It keep crashing after try to make the short cut for the WimaxHiddenMenu. Then at this try, I use "Android Shortcutter", it works perfect. The "SET" button magically appear for me to set the mac............yeah.........

confirmed: both freedompop.com and verginmobile on sprint works.

thank so much for those who helped me, now it is the time to get my 3g back.

edit: my 3g finially back to service as well with updated to the latest PRL, for some reason, some ROM messy up my PRL file.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spodemaster:
Is there a list of valid, mac address ranges for sprint devices, and what if you end up using someone else's mac address, does that mean you rack up data usage on their account????
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AZImmortal:
Can someone confirm for me whether or not my phone is supposed to indicate that I'm connected to 4G/WiMax? I just cloned my FreedomPop MAC address and set the realm, but when I turn 4G on via the 4G widget, my phone still says that it's connected to 3G and I wasn't sure if there was supposed to be some type of indicator that I'm actually properly connected to 4G/WiMax besides the 4G widget staying lit. I tried to run some speed tests but I think my house is in a fringe area (i barely get 3G) so the connection kept disconnecting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
You should def see a 4g icon. Perhaps your toggle is broken.. try enabling 4g from the network settings menu.

Also.. are you positive you're in wimax coverage? 4g should connect.. valid mac or not as long as you're in coverage. Phones are much weaker than hotspots.. so just because a hotspot gets coverage doesn't guarantee the phone will see the signal. Try going outside etc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AZImmortal:
Thanks for the response. Shortly after I made my post, I went out for dinner, checked for WiMax connectivity at the restaurant, and I did get the 4G icon so it all works (I ran a speed test as well and got 10mbps down). The Clear website says that my house is in a "best" coverage area, which is why I thought that maybe my phone could have been connected even though it said 3G. Before I made my last post, I even tried going outside my house and I still couldn't get 4G connectivity, so their coverage map definitely leaves much to be desired. I understand that the map can't be 100% correct, but considering it says that I'm in a "best" area, I assumed that I should be able to connect outside my house. Anyways, I got it all working, so yay! Hopefully I'll get WiMax coverage in more places that I frequent since I obviously can't count on coverage at home.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lordofding:
Need some help i flashed my epic4g touch using a galaxy rush for boost, i do not have 3g because of reasons need not be said but I am trying to use the 4g setting. I added a working MAC and am using sprint realm but the 4g does not connect any help please
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AZImmortal:
You're using a working Sprint MAC with the sprintpcs.com realm? Also, what format are you entering the MAC with? I used dashes, as in: 12-34-56-78-90-AB
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lordofding:
That is correct that is the same method i am using. The other phone is my wifes epic 4g touch i verified the MAC twice and press set.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AZImmortal:
Are you both trying to connect to 4G at the same time? From what I remember reading, the same MAC can be connected to the WiMax network more than once, but not on the same tower. Also, have you pulled up the MAC address on your phone to make sure that it was actually set?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lordofding:
She is only on wifi never on 4g and how do I check to verify. I just check on wimax ct to see if it's the same
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AZImmortal:
Under Settings > About Phone > Status, you should be able to see your 4G MAC address.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lordofding:
Yes I checked both and they are identical
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AZImmortal:
Are you able to connect to 4G with your wife's phone? If your wife can't connect, then that would explain why you can't connect either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lordofding:
She has full 4g with no problems. .I don't get it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AZImmortal:
So just to make sure all your bases are covered, your wife's phone actually has 4G turned off (not just connected to wifi) when you try to connect to 4G, right?

now is there a way to do all this to the regular epic 4g? i already did it using my epic touch with clear wireless and works flawless. now i wish i can get the same files. in this case the CT.apk for the old regular epic 4g. i was just about to comment and ask about not beeing able to use 2 devices at the same time using the same MAC and i just saw that on the previus post.. cuz i had tryed to do it and all it does is it says conected and disconected. so i guess it cant be done. but its all good.

Will this work with a flashed epic 4g touch on boost mobile

I have a e4gt flashed to boostmobile

And I want to get 4g since its now available

I flashed my phone with an incognito
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Does your plan and the incognito support 4G? You have to have a MAC address to input. If the answer to both of your questions is yes, and you have an operating system that supports this method, then I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Bugging up my phone, so you don't have to!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mhannigan:
It will work if you pay the extra $5 to Boost to upgrade your account. In fact, if the phone is activated with Boost, you can even run a Sprint ROM. I'm currently running the Sprint stock GB08 ROM With my Boost account, and 4g works flawlessly. The only thing I don't have is Boost ID, which I don't use.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mister7000:
Ok, can anyone confirm if they have been able to get it working with the e4gt (D710) ?

I have my e4gt running on boost mobile 3G using an incognito donor.

Now for the 4G donor I have a sprint donor using a galaxy note or a boost mobile donor using a galaxy S2 for boostmobile.

If I use either one do I also need to change the realm ?

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Yes and yes for GS2.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mister7000:
Thanks for the quick responce.

So from your answer im guessing that if I use the boostmobile 4G donor I need to change the realm.

Only problem is that in the OP there was no realm for boostmobile.

Only for sprint, clear, twc, etc etc..

Can anyone post boost mobile realm ?

Thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
if you have the boost gs2 that you plan on using as a donor.. it should show the realm somewhere in wimax settings. please post it for us.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slackguru:
Ok, I'll be quick.

I have left Sprint. 2 Epic 4G Touch that can never be fixed completely. SDcard bug that doesn't allow secure VPN key transfer to work no matter what is tried. Samsung has offered to replace the e4gt's with 2 SPH-L710's (32GB models) brand new, new warranty, blah, blah, blah; as long as I sign and return a doc stating I promise never to sue their great grand children's great grand children. The will be nice paperweight. I left Sprint.

Unless:

1) Either the Epic 4G Touch or Galaxy S III can be flashed to Verizon, Boost or Virgin mobile. I've read a lot of forums claiming it can be done but the switch from WiMAX to LTE is something I don't quite understand. The last I checked, the ODI model still requires hardware at the physical layer that would be capable of speaking both frequencies to work properly.

Are either device equipped with the appropriate chipset to do this?

2) If either device is capable, with almost zero performance loss, where can I find the steps that have been taken already and the results of each step? Chances are I have all the tools necessary. I do use Linux exclusively so if there are some obscure utilities or hardware solutions you feel I may overlook don't hesitate to tell me.

3) The absolute noon question coming from an old school infrastructure engineer, is switching from WiMAX to LTE on a singular device even possible? If it is/isn't could you point me to the necessary tech manuals? I know the exons is really picky, but I believe Broadcomm is still responsible for its radio, and then comes the snapdragon. I'm already on the LG Spectrum 2 VS930 love the speed and I'm sure I can increase it exponentially once I root it, but if the gs3 isn't going to compare and even beat this device hands down I don't consider it worth my time.

The GS3 has 2gb ram, this has 1, the GS3 a slightly larger screen and 32gb storage, this has 16. Performance is key. I'm really hard on my devices. Thankfully I have several servers and a maas cluster to do most of my computing otherwise it would be a new phone every 6 months for me.

Let me know what you think of my dilemma, the problem, any solutions and which device you know has better performance after any such change, if it even exists.

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clip3009:
There is a thread for galaxy s3 flash to other mnvo in the gs3 sections. You can use the et4g you have for the flash. Et4g is wimax gs3 is lte. Lte is faster and isnt fully covered throughout the united states. You have to do some research to see if lte is supported in your area. Imo i would keep the et4g and wait for the galaxy s 4 or grab the galaxy note 2
