Mu Verizon contract is up on the 28th and I'm going to flash and switch to PagePlus.

My question is this; After the flash, can I install CM7 or CM9? I was told by a flasher :) that this was not possible.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musical_chairs:
Hi, I'm a Page Plus customer, dinc user, and a recovering ROM flashing addict.

First off, what are you 'flashing' to switch to Page Plus? You just need to dial *22890 to program it, after the ESN is activated on Page Plus.

And really, you can flash whatever ROM you want. If it works on Verizon, it'll work on Page Plus. Of course the usual rules about being rooted, etc. apply... I've used MIUI gb, MIUI ics, AOKP ics, Evervolv ics, and am currently running Ice Cream Senseless because I got tired of the camera issues on the ics roms.

The only thing you need to remember is that you need to use Page Plus's codes when doing OTA programming and PRL updates. It's *22890 to program/activate the phone on Page Plus, and *22891 to update the PRL.

Happy flashing!

Phone flashing

I know this is really late but hopefully it will help others.

When you get your phone flashed you will more then likely have to be on a stock rom. This is from experience as I am a Page Plus dealer. Many roms do not support either the codes, or the drivers to allow your phones modem to connect with a pc to allow flashing.

Once your flashed to the carrier, you can use whatever rom you want. Keep in mind though that depending on what rom you use, they may access the raidos diffrently and your 3g data may or may not work. You may have to use a stock rom of try several roms before you find a reliable one.

Just a heads up in case someone didnt know, before you switch carriers and get all pissed with support.....aka someone like me. :)

If I am wrong about this please correct me and teach me a new way because I would really like to be able to flash more cm9 phones with out reverting them to stock first. ( just to save time. ) So far the major culprit are motorola phones.

Hey, I'm having issues using Google wallet at McDonalds, every time I try to use it, it won't detect the reader and when it does, they payment doesn't go through. It has only worked twice for me, and I'm using an unlocked Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile.

You make sure their payment reader wasn't broken?

I used mine on a vending machine, one didn't work then I went to another one and it worked great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
Might be a broken reader. I had the same happen to me at a local fast food place but atleast the cashier told me the reader is broken.

Also make sure you have decent network coverage. I remember on a vending machine the payment showed as sent but the money never deducted so I didn't get my water (I was on edge.) But 10 minutes later I returned and it worked with 3g on. I find the transactions to be much quicker that way too.

I'm also on tmobile.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pstevek:
Hi there.

I'm running into a specific problem with my SGS2.

After successfully upgrading to multiple Stock ICS from this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1544487 , I keep receiving the same message when I try to make a phone call : "NOT REGISTERED ON THE NETWORK".

The phone is not picking up my network and it's on Emergency calls only.

At first, 3G/HSPDA connectivity wasn't working. Only WiFi was working.

However after following a procedure on another thread, I entered the code *2767*3855# immediatly after flashing yet another stock ICS rom.

To my surprise the 3G/HSPDA connectivity was working this time. I took as a sign of victory, but that was only short noticed since the phone was still on Emergency calls only and it still gave me that network error message.

Guys PLEASE I implore you to help me find a solution.

I've flashed the above stock rom (using ODIN of course) in the following order :

1.) I9100XWLP4_I9100LUXLP1_LUX

2.) I9100XWLP7_I9100OXELP7_SER

3.) I9100XWLP7_I9100XEULP5_XEU

What could have possibly went wrong ?

I reside in Cape Town, South Africa. I did the flashing for a friend and his network works just fine....

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Steve

If not then restore your backed up EFS folder .If you have not backed up EFS then you need to start reading the IMEI and EFS posts .

Hi i am having the same error, i have tried two different versions of ICS both are official versions. They both install fine and after the phone reboots it goes straight to the home screen without asking for the code. The data network is not active as well as the phone. When i try to make a call it gives me the

"not registered on network error"

I have even tried updating via kies which produces the same result.

The last two installs i tried was with ODIN.

I have gone back to version 2.3.4 which is working fine

any help will be greatly appreciated thanks you

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored_stupid:
Remove battery then check on the underside of the phone your model no.

What country ?

What carrier are you with?

What ICS are you trying to install?

Which gingerbread are you able to use?

PS you can find out which firmware you are on by dialing *#1234#

Post your information
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rohan_187:
Thanks for the quick reply here is the info you requested

Model No - GT I9100

Country - South Africa

Carrier - MTN

ICS - 4.0.3 (I9100XWLP7_I9100OJCLP6_I9100XXLPS_HOME.tar) Downloaded using

CheckFusDownloader_v2.1

Ginger Bread - ver. 2.3.4 (currently using)

My Current firmware is

PDA - I9100XWKI4

PHONE - I9100XXKI1

CSC - I9100OJCKI1

Thanks again...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored_stupid:
Definately the firmware for South Africa; "Samfirmware shows both to be either Vodafone or XFM".

While on Gingerbread backup your EFS using HC-Ktool or any other EFS backup tool if thats not available in your country.

You could then if needed restore using the same app.

What sort of code do you normally have to input before you get to your main home screen?

Do you do a complete data/factory reset and full wipe/format system before installing new firmware.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rohan_187:
Hi it's a sim card code i input before i get to the home screen. I did a factory reset and erased the usb storage, and then i used odin to load ICS on the phone.

So you say it must be the firmware since i am on MTN and i am trying to load a vodaphone rom?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored_stupid:
Try a firmware from here:-

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

instructions of how to flash are also posted there.

Look for your region or a multi CSC region.

(taken from a previous post).

Copy your internal sdcard and external micro sdcard to your PC.

Boot into recovery. Data factory reset. Advanced option, wipe dalvik cache.

Mounts and storage option, format system; data; sdcard.

Also try Ultimate cleaning script

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1166954

Install correct stock firmware using Odin or place a custom rom zip on your sdcard and install from recovery.

Once firmware has booted, from the dial pad, dial *2767*3855#

This will factory data reset.

Wait for firmware to reboot.

Hopefully after that you should be OK.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glowfinger:
I got the same probleme some time ago. The only workaround was to switch off the pin-code in settings and then turn it on again...

After flashing a new firmware and do a full wipe, the problem was gone... ;)

Thanks guys i will try both these methods and report back...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rohan_187:
First of a big THANK YOU to both of you guys for helping...

-I 1st did a factory reset

-Then Disabled the Sim Card Pin Request

-Downloaded the XFA firmware that you told me to download

-Flashed with ODIN and ICS was working.

Oh before i did all of this i downloaded an official version of Android 2.3.4 and flashed to phone.

I don't know if that had anything to do with it but just thought i would mention it in case it did.

So thanks again guys really awesome...

No i don't think it was that because i replicated the error by switching the sim pin request on again, when i disabled the pin request the error went away so it definitely has to do with that...

if you can replicate the error by switching on the sim card pin then it is definitely due to the keystr file.

anyone can help us?
[LG Optimus 3D] pandaball:
For the v20B .bin, the system.img file block was from B80000 all the way to the end of the .bin file. The end block depends on the size of the firmware and as such varies with different firmwares.
[LG Optimus 3D] samno:
Maybe you could dd it in Ubuntu and inject the image into a normal p920 bin??
[LG Optimus 3D] Fab985:
so we need to know exact size of system.img?

any way to find it?
[LG Optimus 3D] pandaball:
What I did for the v20B bin was to copy the blocks 00B80000 to the end block and paste them in a new file using Winhex, rename it to system.img, go over to linux and use

That way, I can then extract all the files using Terminal, like for example sudo cp system/app/LGHome.apk LGHome.apk (assuming default folder is pointed at desktop) to extract everything.

More info in the original thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1517531

No need. System.img extends from 00B80000 all the way to the end of the file. The end block of the .bin file is also the end block of the system.img file.
[LG Optimus 3D] iodak:
I tried that but i get: "you must specify the filesystem type" in terminal when i try to mount. Is 00B80000 start? Can you take a look at that? Or bin is not extracted ok.

My WinHex isn't working for some reason, will debug it tomorrow. In the meantime, try looking for the EXT4 magic number 0xF30A (0A F3 in hex) or 13 00 00 00 which is the compatibility structure between ext3 and ext4. The last file with any of these should be system.img.

If not, try the site here and see if it helps you find the start of the img files.
[LG Optimus 3D] Draegloth:
Well guys im really cheering that you can port that to O3D. Sadly im totally dont know how to do the port therefore i cant help to you, but i wish i could.

Go ahead you will make many ppl really happy if you can success (including me -> my genitalia will be the biggest ever xD)
[LG Optimus 3D] pandaball:
I might have a hit. Winhex is still broken but someone with a working version of it could help me out with it.

154F2EFB seems to be the starting block if I'm interpreting it correctly. Could someone copy from that offset onwards all the way to the end, save it as an img and see if it mounts fine in Linux? This is a semi-wild guess since 0AF3 in hex brings up 5.3k hits while the text based search brings up 154F2EFB as the only hit which strikes me as odd but we'll see. The file size is approximately 300MB which is about right.
[LG Optimus 3D] iodak:
Wait I will try.

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ----------

154f2efb didnt find. I find 0af3 as text 3 times. I will copy last one it has 373 MB maybe it will mount. I will try now.

sorry 154f2efb is a offset lol

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

I tried from offset 154f2efb it is not working i cant mount it. it is 322mb file. Again: you must specify the filesystem type.

3. You cannot flash any rom, this is a locked bootloader effect. (by the way, you have not too much option of custom roms in razr as unlockes bootloaders device have, like the samsungs...
