[HTC EVO 3D] slickrichierich:
ok this guide works to get running on PP but will not get you 3g speeds. in order to really get 3g speed you need to use an original verizon phone to get your HA and AAA passwords. also no need to root your device to get MSL just use cdma ws. use the samsung default 16 digit password to get the msl or click on the terminal tab in cdma ws and type 41 74 64 77 61 6F 70 the command box and click send then go back to the security tab and click read in the SPC section. that will give you your MSL then you can change it to zeros and click write.
[HTC EVO 3D] jjohn999:
yes i believe you are correct. i have been flashing phones to boost for a long time and you have to have the HA and AAA passwords from another device in order to get TRUE 3g speeds. i have tried using this guide and still only recieve 1x which is terrible.
[HTC EVO 3D] slickrichierich:
yes its exactly like flashing to boost. first you need to change the meid with that of the donor on a verizon phone. i use a samsung fascinate. then let it OTA and that will pull your 3g HA and AAA passwords then you just clone the fascinate over to the evo. you can use any meid from any dumb phone just make sure you activate the meid on your account without ever powering on the dumbphone. then write the meid over on the 3g verizon phone of your choice. needs to be a 3g phone so it can pull the 3g HA and AAA passwords. then restart the verizon phone and it should make you OTA. once its done you should have a working verizon 3g phone on PP. then you just go thru the remaining steps to flash it over to your evo
[HTC EVO 3D] jjohn999:
the problem is that most newbs dont know anything about QPST or pulling the HA and AAA from the donor. this guide is ok for basic flashing that most stores charge u for but will be cheated by slow internet speeds
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Hey Nevell, great guide thanks a lot. I have a sprint optimus s with a good esn, would I still need a doner for straight talk? Do you know the method to flash the sprint optimus s to any prepaid carrier? Preferably straight talk, virgin mobile. Tia.
[HTC EVO 3D] slickrichierich:
yes your right this is a basic guide and unless you have some experience it would be difficult to extract the HA and AAA passwords

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------

yes you still need a donor for ST. and flashing to virgin you need a donor
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Thanks, I can use qpst and ws but I've never flashed to another carrier, been wanting to for awhile. Which carriers don't require a doner and how could I do this for the optimus s?
[HTC EVO 3D] koty2012:
Can I flash custom ROMS?

Sorry to post this here but I had my phone flashed to pageplus last week and I want to install one of the new ICS roms on it but i'm scared that if I do i'll have to take it back in to be reflashed , and have to pay the 50 dollars all over again. Can someone on this thread tell me if I install a custom rom will I have to do this? PM me if possible. Thanks in advance. Once again sorry for posting here but I posted in the Q&A and no one has answered me.
[HTC EVO 3D] evo3djay:
I have a spirit HTC evo 3d with boost mobile and I flash all the time download 4ext recovery off the market and use that too do your flashing.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
The only thing with flashing to ICS is that you won't be able to edit your apn for your mms. ICS won't let 3rd party apps modify the apn. You'll have to directly edit the Sprint apn's to match the one in the files I posted.
[HTC EVO 3D] metro77279:
Thanx, how do I get service with pp after that?
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
Go to a dealer and get a plan and a phone number or do it over the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] dlmx:
I have followed the guide, but i have two questions, one is that i am unable to get MMS working on the phone and the other is that it is always showing it is roaming. I am in a VZW home area in a major town my other Verizon phone does not show roaming.

Also every time i restart the HTC EVO 3D is wants to do the Sprint OTA activation, how do i stop that?
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
You have to follow the directions step by step. MMS isn't working because you didn't do the APN backup and restore. Your getting the OTA because you didn't do your data profiles. As for the roaming, you have to find the PRL that works well for your area. And never dial any PP or VZW OTA activation numbers. (*228,22801,22890, etc)
[HTC EVO 3D] dlmx:
I redid the entire process twice this morning step by step and i am still having the same issues. The phone is active on PP, i can make and receive calls and normal text, but still no data or mms. Do you have a link to the more current prls so i can try one of those.

I have done the APN backup and restore and i have done all the required data inputs into profile 2. The only spot i am a little confused on is the IP address, should they be 0.0.255.255 for them all or 0.255.255.255 for them all?
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
Lol sorry about earlier. If your roaming you can't get data unless you turn on data roaming. Also you can't send mms unless you have an active data connection. You just need a PRL try this one

Page Plus EVDO PRL

and the ip address for the P.HA and S.HA should be 255.255.255.255
[HTC EVO 3D] jjohn999:
has anybody been able to get picture mail to work using this method?
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
Of course picture mail works as long as you flash the apn using apn backup and restore. You got to have a 1x or 3g connection as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] xxmastermindxx:
I've had issues with MMS on two Evo's, even after doing and repeating the APN process. Its hit or miss. They both have data, only 1x though, and Chicago 1x is pretty crappy. For full 3G, need to use a verizon donor phone to get the right passwords. Doing this soon for my Epic.
[HTC EVO 3D] slickrichierich:
yes correct the mms issues is probably due to the fact that your not really on 3g data. this guide will only get you on 1x data. as mention above you need to use a verizon donor phone to pull the HA/AAA password
[HTC EVO 3D] rexxxgg:
how to pull the passwords from verizon phone and does it need to be a new phone or can i just borrow a friends phone and do it.
[HTC EVO 3D] slickrichierich:
you write the meid from the simple phone on the verizon smartphone and let it OTA activate. the you should have a working verizon phone with 3g data, after that just use qpst or DFS to see the HA/AAA passwords. It does not need to be a new verizon phone but it does need to be a smartphone. I now recommend Verizon Prepaid or Straight talk CDMA over page plus since both are unlimited for $50 on verizon and $45 on ST. PP is only gives you 1GB of data for $55, There is a great guide on here that explains how to flash an Epic to straight talk. The method is the exact same for Verizon prepaid and will also work on the EVOS
[HTC EVO 3D] rexxxgg:
hey thanks for the advice. I have been tryin to get 3 phones to different carriers. I got my photon to take a sim card and now i need to flash an epic and an E 3d to an alternate. If i go the straight talk route i will need a donor phone correct? And if I do can it be the cheapest phone they have?
[HTC EVO 3D] slickrichierich:
yes you will need a donor phone and yes get the cheapest one you can find just make sure its a cdma version. i think the models that end with a "c" are the cdma versions. also remember never power on the ST phone, actually you wont even have to open the box its in. the meid or esn is usually printed on the box. so just write it to your verizon smartphone and then activate the meid online or by phone then let the verizon OTA using the *228, *22890 ect... that will give you a working verizon phone on ST. then you just copy it over to the sprint phone
[HTC EVO 3D] rexxxgg:
hey man thanks alot. that clears up a lot for me. i couldnt stand to take it in somewhere to get it flashed when i could of just done it my self.
[HTC EVO 3D] abripl:
Evo 3d wifi/3g

Thanks for instructions. I successfully flashed my "new" 3D to voice, MMS and 3G.

There is one glitch. WIFI and 3G cannot be used at same time. So I cannot receive MMS messages when WIFI is on. I tried both pageplus1.prl and 51720_EVDO.prl but made no difference. Is the problem a part of original Sprint 3D phone? Didn't have that prob with an HTC incredible I changed from.

The EVO 3D "Mobile Network" settings check caption is "Use phone for data connection when Wi-Fi is unavailable".

But thanks anyway - I switch Wi-Fi off when finished to get MMS forwarded email.
[HTC EVO 3D] kolosus:
So slickrichierich. You're saying that I can activate a 3g phone on Verizon by using a donor from their prepaid lineup? Plus you're saying that I do not need to take it out of the box. How do I get the aaa keys for profile 0?

Sorry if I sound dumb but I'm more used to flashing Sprint phones to Boost.

I'm thinking along these lines. Get a cheap Verizon prepaid phone. Activate it but do not actually turn the phone on. Swap out the MEID of the devices. Change the profiles as outlined in the first post. Once the phone comes up it should go into OTA and get the necessary passwords for the network.

My questions. Being the Verizon prepaid phones are not 3g will the evo (or other phone) get 3g? Is there any need to program in the ha and aaa passwords?
[HTC EVO 3D] slickrichierich:
true the dumbphone is not 3g but when you write the meid to a verizon smartphone and OTA is will pull 3g data settings. It wont work if you OTA on a sprint phone. You would first have to OTA on a smartphone from verizon. I use a samsung fascinate, then copy the HA/AAA passwords, username ect.. from profile 0 on the fascinate and the DMU 10.key as well and write them over to the EVO .
[HTC EVO 3D] INeedYourHelp:
Do you think that these steps would also work on the newest Evo phone?

The htc evo 4g lte (the cdma version of the htc one x).
[HTC EVO 3D] UncivilSavage:
Isn't it a sim?
[HTC EVO 3D] INeedYourHelp:
It has an "embedded" sim. You have to tear the phone apart to get to it.
[HTC EVO 3D] WTF?:
this is in the CDMA Workshop changelog for version 3.80 from about 6 months ago - could be very useful for getting my HTC Merge working on Verizon prepaid: :D

Added new very powerful universal specialized for HTC models methods to change ESN, MEID/pESN. You can even disable using MEID, in order to use MEID-based HTC models in ESN-based networks. This method work on all Windows Mobile and Android HTC models (ex. HTC-6950 (Diamond), XV6975 (Imagio), Evo 4G, Evo 3D, Incredible, Incredible 2, Thunderbolt, etc), and Palm Treo 850 Pro (HTC based)
[HTC EVO 3D] rexxxgg:
ok i am looking to get a prepaid verizon phone to get the 3g keys and was wondering if you needed to use a smartphone? or can i use one of these http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/...m&selectedPhoneId=5755&selectedPlanCatId=3834 ?
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
Got mine off an Incredible.
[HTC EVO 3D] slickrichierich:
i used the samsung fascinate
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
Here is something new :D :D :D :D

Just flashed the Evo Shift to Straight Talk

[HTC EVO 3D] betostunts:
have you guys had any trouble with youtube on the evo 3d's? I've flashed 2 for some friends and mms works but youtube always says something close to failed to connect or something like that.

also does anyone know if its possible to modify a verizon prl file so it wont show Roaming on sprint phones?
[HTC EVO 3D] justan00b:
Hey, I posted back in response to your post...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27209930&postcount=128

I originally had problems with my Epic doing this, didn't work for Pandora, Youtube or anything like that. After removing the Sprint RTSP and HTTPD proxies it solved my problem.. could give it a try
[HTC EVO 3D] Viper32:
Okay I have a few questions......

If I take a Verizon Smartphone phone that is active on Page Plus can I pull the keys from it? I mean I will be switching from this one to the EVO....

If so can i then write them to the the Evo?

Will using these keys make the donor phone no longer able to be used?

Or when and if it is activated again will it pull new keys?

I am no newbie but this donor stuff has me a little confused.....

Viper
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
You can only pull keys from a 3G VZW phone that has never been activated on any other network.
[HTC EVO 3D] Viper32:
Can I use a bad ESN smartphone to use as smartphone to get keys?

Since I am changing meid on it using a dumb phone ?

1. So in essence take Bad ESN Smartphone use this as donor phone

2. Write MEID from prepaid dumbphone on it

3. Put that donor phone MEID on Page Plus account

4. *228 activate

5. Pull keys

6. Write keys to EVO phone

7. Then have Page Plus do ESN Swap from donor Phone to my EVO

8. Then I have working 3G on Evo?

Viper

It was explained pages back.

Im a dumbass so just to get this straight to get the verizon keys i buy a cheap verizon phone capable of 3g. I write the the meid of the verizon phone to my 3vo 3d then let my 3d ota?

Question

I bought an EVO 3D already rooted, S-OFF & running Fresh Evo 3d 4.1. It is running HBOOT 1.40 with the 0.97.00.518 Radio (also says revolutionary on the HBOOT menu). I saw on a different tutorial on youtube that it was advised to go back to stock via RUU first. Since I did not buy this phone stock, looking at the versions I specified, should I be fine in following this tutorial as-is? :confused:

Sorry for the Noob question. This is my son's phone and I really don't want to brick it, which I have done in the past.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
As long as your EPST menu works you should be fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] campbellsgt:
Thanks for the quick reponse. I will give it a go.

:D
[HTC EVO 3D] jasonwojo75:
If you have the dmu 10 key then you can do ota *228 to get ha and AAA keys.
[HTC EVO 3D] slickrichierich:
No you need to let the 3g verizon phone OTA first then that will give you a fully working verizon phone with 3g data. then you write the info over to the 3vo. just follow the other tutorial word for word.
[HTC EVO 3D] myriadflow:
Fix for UM and AN not writing

Thank you for the guide! Delete (CTRL+D) UM and AN entries before adding the new info.
[HTC EVO 3D] campbellsgt:
The flash went well. Thank you so much for taking the time to write up the guide. I do have a couple questions, post flash. The Evo 3D is currently on MikVirgin ICS, so if I go to another ROM am I going to have to reflash the phone? Also the APN Delete/Restore will not work on ICS. Is this an issue?

Also in case anyone else has this odd Issue, I found that when i used Pageplus.prl (it was the only one that worked for me) that it showed me as connected to Verizon but once I went thorough the activation (*228) that after rebooting it showed no service. I tried this over and over to no avail. Finally I reflashed the prl but did not go through the activation, I just tried to call a number and it was successful. I assume that the PRL was being overwritten during OTA programming.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
Everything should stay the same. You may have to redo the APNs though
[HTC EVO 3D] jasonwojo75:
Yes the ota puts in a new prl. You need a sprint modified prl otherwise your phone thinks it is roaming.
[HTC EVO 3D] Wileyworld:
How about a HTC Rezound with this process to page +?

Been with PP for years with my HTC Eris, but liking the specs on the Rezound... Any likelihood this process will work for it? My read of this thread gives me some hope... Comments elsewhere say Rezound (4g phone) will be rejected by PP; a few people managed to get on PP but w/o data. Looking for an opinion before I buy one and try.

Thanks :)

PS: seems like my never resolved issue with MMS only working when data is turned on is the same apn thing addressed in this thread. I may try tinkering with that on this ol' Eris as a precursor to the larger project looming on my horizon. My only rooting/modding was years ago with my two old razr flips, and the eris in 2010--- I'm pretty rusty and nervous all over again!
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
I have flashed a couple of rezounds and they worked fully.
[HTC EVO 3D] jasonwojo75:
How did you get 3g to work. I thought there was a issue with the sim card.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
Need full version of cdma ws for that.
[HTC EVO 3D] jasonwojo75:
Yes I have cdma ws just don't understand how you got the phone to program, and not the card. I know that was the major hang up with the LTE phones. Are you manually programming and pulling the ha AAA from another phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
Lol LTE phones are easy. The only phones I can't flash have the VIA chipset in them. Stratosphere, Charge, Nexus LTE. I would teamviewer with you but I just can't find the time.
[HTC EVO 3D] jasonwojo75:
That's fine I don't have a LTE device anyway, I was looking to upgrade my og EVO. Not sure about the camera on the 3d, thought the resound would be nicer but will most likely go with the EVO 3d becuase I no I can flash it easily
[HTC EVO 3D] osi13:
Has anyone been able to flash an EVO LTE 4g to page plus or vz pre-paid? I'm at work right now, but I'm going to try this with my EVO 3d, and then my EVO 4g LTE. $39 bucks for unlimited talk, text, and 100mb of data isn't a bad deal at all.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
If I had one to test on...
[HTC EVO 3D] osi13:
Do you think the process is much different than what is currently documented on the first page? I'm a noob to this, but I'm definitely willing to try.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
Can't comment on that since I haven't had the pleasure of trying it yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] osi13:
I was able to get my EVO 4g LTE to work by following your method. I used HiAPN to restore the APN on ICS -- it was the only program I could find that worked. I backed up the Sprint APN, deleted the Spint APN, edited the back up file with the PP information, and then restored the edited APN.

It still shows that I am roaming, however, text messaging and calling works. I had to activate the device through a third party Page Plus dealer called Kitty Wireless (the PPC.com website kept telling me DEVICE_REJECTED), but everything ended up working out. I'm stuck in 1x, and would like to try what slickrichierich is saying. If I were to flash the device to Boost or MetroPCS would I receive 3g without having a donor phone? Is there any way to change the banner text? It currently says "Preferred System" I tried changing it to Page Plus in QPST with no avail.

Thanks for the tutorial.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
Can't change the banner while roaming.
[HTC EVO 3D] dezined:
Minorly confused, and could use some clarification. After following tut, I am roaming. Phone is active and working on PP, just haven't gotten data goin yet. Anyway...I have tried the PRLs in the attachment on the tut, still roaming. Tried the one linked a few pages back, still roaming. Heard someone mention it had to be a modified Sprint PRL to NOT roam. Which is it? Do I search for "modified sprint prls for page plus" or do I look for regular PP PRLs?

Also, just to make sure I'm doing this right, I do ##3424# on the phone, then open workshop, connect to phone, go to other tab, in the PRL section I load up the new PRL, write it, disconnect, then reboot cell? I might should mention after activating cell with PP, could not do a *22890 (like they tel you too on phone) but could use Verizon's *228. But have read here that if you write a PRL, you SHOULD NOT do OTA. I'm very new to this, and don't really know what I'm doing, just good at following directions, but after reading through thread, am getting conflicting instructions.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
The PRL's in the op are the ones that work in my area with no roaming. If your roaming then those PRL's aren't for your area. You need to find the ones that work in your area. I stated that in the op. The Sprint modified PRL's are for full 3G data. Other than that you will only get 1x data. However, your icon will show 3G. This is because Sprint phones aren't modified to show when your on 1x like VZW. It shows 3G even when your on 1x. The other comments in this thread are from user experience.
[HTC EVO 3D] dezined:
Ok. Can the PRL be pulled from my old cell with the demo of workshop? Or is that option in the full version? I see PRLs listed with numbers, but not with an area. I'm guessing it's just search until I find one in my general area? And outta curiosity, do you know why I can't do a *22890 from PP, but can from VZW? wouldn't that be the best place to get a correct PRL?
[HTC EVO 3D] jasonwojo75:
You can pull the prl from your other phone but it will still show you as roaming. It's still a sprint phone thinking its roaming on vzw. Just search for a sprint modified prl for vzw and load that and do not ota program after. I can upload the one I use later I am at work now.
[HTC EVO 3D] dezined:
Mkay. I rarely use data on my phone, just to update weather, and such, send mms, so I don't think I'm worried about getting anything other than 1x. I just don't want to roam. I will look for a PRL you mentioned, and try and find one from my area. Was the method I was using to put in on the phone correct?

I may have to get that from you. I'm not having any luck finding anything that will work. I may not be using the right terms, or whatever, but I'm not coming up with anything.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nevell:
If its a Sprint phone use *228
[HTC EVO 3D] dezined:
the old phone is a verizon env3. the one I'm working on now is a sprint evo 4g.
[HTC EVO 3D] jasonwojo75:
It just shows you as roaming because its a sprint phone. You are not actually roaming. I'll still look for the prl for you though.
[HTC EVO 3D] dezined:
Okay. So, to get this straight, since it's a sprint phone, I need a sprint PRL modified for verizon to not roam? Also, I'm having a problem making calls. It tells me I don't have enough money to do so, and I get forwarded to a verizon automated system. Is this due to the PRL I'm currently using? Or did I mess something up when I was programming the phone for PP? I followed the tut word for word, and received no errors, aside from the one the OP said was normal.

Can't wait to try that PRL.
[HTC EVO 3D] Wileyworld:
Which steps do I ignore if I've been w/PP, swap from Eris to Rezound

I'm looking at the instructions, and at some point before the end I think its time to just swap out the esn from Eris to newer Rezound. But just where do I stop, and then what? I am a Kitty wireless unlimited member, and as such I think I can do the phone (esn/ "activation", whatever,) swap pretty much from my member web page. Its been a year since I've tinkered with this aspect of my techy stuff. Kinda rusty.

I stopped after rebooting phone following pasting the Page plus prl file.

Also, I did this (in Win 7) on com port 3-- both com ports 3 and 4 showed activity when I was told to note the diagnostic port. Not sure if I was right about that... what do you think? Ebay'd phone came w/o sim, so I hope I dont have a problem there. VZW store wouldnt release one since I dont have account with them. Said I should get one from PP customer svc. I think that will be a dead end as long as PP wont 'officially' permit 4g phones on its system. Hope there is a solution- got too much $$ dropped into this dream to fail now... Eris was choking big time with all my apps/needs. It was a blessing it slipped out of my hand over the swimming pool...

Any help is appreciated. Cool potential upgrade for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] rexxxgg:
It sounds to me like your phone takes a sim card. If I am correct then this guide is not for you. This guide is for CDMA phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] Wileyworld:
It is cdma + sim card (for 4g lte as I understand it).
[HTC EVO 3D] beastmods:
trying to get the evo lte running on page plus

got talk and text but no data.

did everything in cdmaws

installed apn backup and restore as system app

deleted and restored page plus apn.

still no data.

toggles preferred network type in ##info# menu

will pay for a solution.
