[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
feel free to post it. ets/vpst has been posted.. so nothing wrong with posting your tool either. if this is something you're looking to sell... it's not gonna happen in this thread.

is your tool TianYu VIA WRMEID V2.0? :)

no one buy anything from anyone... ALL VIA solutions will be free soon enough.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
if someone can crack this rar file.. this is the tool to rewrite esn/meid. i am unable to get in.. but maybe someone else is better...

:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robbiejobs:
Thanks for the clue autoprime :) I found another VIA ESN Writer, it's from 2009 idk if it's compatible with CBP7.. I'll try it tonight ( my brother borrow the charge today ).

Edit :

It works! I got my MEID back yaay! Now back to DISABLING UIM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
interesting.. havent seen that file around.. new to me :)

i tried to write new meid on my sprint gnex but i get FAIL every time. it detects my phone ok.. just doesnt seem to write meid :-/

maybe you will have better luck! keep us posted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robbiejobs:
Just curious.. if I copied Telephony.apk ( and another dependencies files ) from Sprint GNex, will it works on my droid charge? Care to share the files anyone ? thanks *too lazy to download the whole ROM :p

---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

I don't know if it will works if there's still a MEID number on the phone, I mean.. last time I checked the phone the ESN/MEID is 0x0000000000000000 ( it reminds me the trick for Qualcomm phones, before you can change the MEID you have to zeroed out the MEID first ).So maybe that's the reason I could write back the MEID.

The bad news is, idk how to make the MEID all zeros.. LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Abramzzz:
As I've already said to autoprime, I've been able to disable UIM on Verizon Gnex. As I've promised, I'm releasing the method.

Short answer:

Just flash the attached zip file from CWM. It's Sprint's Gnex radio suitable for flashing in Verizon one. I've just changed the "toroplus" to "toro" in assets. This should not work, but it works.:D

Long answer:

Let's take a look how CPU (or AP, Application Processor) works with modem (or BP, Baseband Processor). Actually, these are two separate devices, even if packed in same SoC. Different devices have different ways to load firmware to BP; e.g. in Motorola phones (ones I used to hack several years ago) the BP fw is located on the same NOR/NAND flash as AP firmware. The AP bootloader reads the firmware, uploads it to BP's RAM and inits it. The same is with Gnex's LTE.

However, in Gnex, BP has it's own flash where firmware and other data (like NV items we're messing with) are located. So the BP loads it's firmware itself. To update firmware, the updater (Loke/Odin, fastboot or update script in CWM) puts the new firmware to shared memory and says to BP: "Hey guy, here's a new firmware for you. Go take look on it!". The BP (do you still remember BP is CDMA modem?) then checks the new firmware and saves it inside itself (or fails if it's wrong).

So let's take a look what happens when we try to upload Sprint radio via Odin/Loke or fastboot: the firmware gets loaded to shared memory and the command to BP is given: "check this new shiny firmware and download it if it's ok". The check is failed, and the firmware is not saved.

And here's the most interesting part: for some reasons, the CWM recovery uploads the firmware in different way. I don't know why (maybe it commands "just save this firmware" instead of "check and save"), but it works! :laugh: I can't post a link to source cause of 10 posts limit, but you can find it at GitHub in "CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_toro/blob/ics/recovery/update_cdma_modem.c".

So this way, we can upload Sprint's modem-cdma to Verizon devices, thus disabling UIM (like on Galaxy Tab 7). This method may also work on other devices like Droid Charge.

We (me and fantsay777; thanks to him for testing all my crazy ideas) were able to get voice (and maybe text, didn't test it) on Verizon Gnex in Ukrainian Intertelecom network. However, we still can't get EvDO or 1x data to work. Many thanks goes to autoprime for suggestions, but still no luck. I'll keep you guys in touch.

autoprime,

Please update the OP post with new info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Peter Chastain:
Still no data

Thanks for the tip, but no luck - network stays at either eHRPD or LTE, depending on whether or not I have mobile settings network mode set to 'LTE/CDMA' or 'CDMA/EvDO auto'. I think I'll try disabling eHRPD - tried it once before, but I guess it can't hurt to give it another go. That means flashing back to EOS.:rolleyes:

I'll let ya know when I get it figured out. And I WILL get it figured out :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stslivealoha:
Hmmm, interesting. In my settings (using TeamVanir 4.3.1), Network Mode, i leave the Preferred network setting to LTE/CDMA (other choice is CDMA) and System Select to Automatic. If i change to CDMA, it made no difference when i reboot my phone and *#*#4636#*#*, the default is always GSM/CDMA auto (prl), which of course i change to CDMA auto (prl).

Don't know if this is allowed, so i apologize but google gnex pageplus and there is another site with some insight/guidelines (innomin....)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Peter Chastain:
Got slow '3G' now

Yeah, I'm thinking I might try to use my old phone as a donor and give their walk-through a shot.

[edit] And even as I wrote the above, the '3G' started working. Slow as heck, so I'm still gonna still look into the donor method. For the record, my settings are:

eHRPD is turned off via EOS/CDMATools

Installed ParanoidAndroid, and then:

Settings->More...->Mobile networks->Network Mode = 'CDMA/EvDo auto'

*#*#4636#*#* -> Phone information->Set preferred network type = 'CDMA auto' (although it also changes to 'Unknown' :eek:)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 94SupraTT:
At my wits end. I've repaired MEID before.

When I do MSL/SPC

Read SPC: ETS > CP > VAL > PRI > MS Indicators > CP VAL PSW Parm Get Spc

Write SPC: ETS > CP > VAL > PRI > MS Indicators > CP VAL PSW Parm Set Spc

I put 6 zeros in there not 1. But it only reads a single 0 as the SPC.

I try to set the MEID with the CP Set MobileID command

To repair or restore meid you need security password , which is not your spc.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kcire_eae:
I still have not gotten evdo, what I did was:

i installed rom 4.1.1 sprint with "Nexus Root Toolkit" (my GNEX is verizon).

i installed (ga02-sprint/fk02-verizon) to disable UIM.

I inserted a unactivated micro sprint (because i don't have a micro verizon lte).

the icon "3g" is displayed when data traffic is activated , but the network type is changed of edvo to 1xrtt and this type de network not allow calls while is used.

how to i can get 3g with edvo.

notes:

also i tried with rom verizon ,the combination of radios and path (ibsec-ril_lte.so), but i just get 1x icon and network type 1xtrr.

i'm from mexico/iusacell
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hitesh1:

Its not radio or ROM issue now, check your evdo parameters.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kcire_eae:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kcire_eae:
today i have installed the sprint rom and i get edvo (3g) , but some times it's changed to 1xrtt.

with 1xrtt the calls not come while data traffic is activated.

even so when edvo is displayed the calls not come.

notes: i checked my parameters and all it's ok.

thank you for answer me hitesh1.

and patch want it because i had verizon rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meeniemuffin:
I have been at it for about 4 hours without any success. I am in desperate need, at this point, for whatever help I can get. I got this phone off craigslist brand new and still in the box. How can I find my MSL if this phone is not activated? I managed to successfully root it but, although helpful I cannot use this to my advantage. My goal is to be able to flash this over to Boost Mobile. I tried doing this method (http://rootzwiki.com/topic/24211-sc...-v1-updated-42712-find-your-msl-the-easy-way/) although successful at installing everything properly I cant get an MSL. I theorize its because it technically isnt even activated on the Sprint network nor do I plan on activating it. Is there any way I can around this? Remember, 4 hours of no success, I could really use some good help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
If you're rooted, (especially if you have installed a custom recovery like TWRP), try installing this app:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robbiejobs:
too bad it's only available on Verizon and US Cellular ( Galaxy Aviator ) idk if USC use UIM or not..anyone in the US knows about this?

I just checked US Cellular website, they use UIM card too :(

Will GNex Sprint modem work on Droid Charge? I'd like to try it but I'm scared it will brick my phone..but I'm curious..so? LoL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Abramzzz:
I think you'll get brick, so better don't try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robbiejobs:
:(

I wish I could edit the modem files :p

Hope there's a chance to hack it using ETS.Because you can easily switch from R-UIM preffered to NV Only on another 4G LTE Devices with Qualcomm chipset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
Could you post settings or a screen shot for what you had set in config?

and in your other post you mentioned that we may have to zero out meid first.. which sounds reasonable. have you tried writing new meid to the Charge to see if it would take another? Did that fail because MEID wasn't zero'd out?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
Thank you thank you thank you!! There will be many people grateful for your findings. Do you think there's a way to manually patch other devices radios to do this? Probably be pretty dangerous to mess with I'd assume.

I still have hope that we can enable/disable UIM using ETS some how.. but in the meantime your method is the winner :D

Thanks again for sharing with us and not charging for solution.

It seems fantsay777 is having issues programming "PPP Um" User/Pass. anyone out there have any idea how to write this to VIA?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robbiejobs:
I only changed the connection to USB and then Write Type to SetMobileID and yes, I think we need to zero out the MEID first.. Because it failed when I try to write new MEID.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
ok just wanted to make sure.. thank you. now if only you could remember the steps you took to zero out meid ;)

i wish someone could crack the RAR fil i posted. it is made for CBP7. not sure if it's any different than the tool you posted though. hmmm...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robbiejobs:
Update :

It works! I write new meid without zero-ing the meid first. Try to uncheck "Check Repetition" in Config.

CP > PS > Database > CP Get Mobile

It works for me Original MEID > Fake MEID > Original MEID again..Let me know if it works for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Abramzzz:
The radio file still has a signature it checks at runtime (probably). So patching the radio will not work. Sprint one works because it still has valid signature.

Yeah, there should be better way. My method is a dirty hack actually.

Sharing is good. But I'm open for donations.:D

We've tried EVERYTHING. Still no luck. :( Waiting for ideas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
does not work for me still. i get fail every time. :(

maybe someone else with a sprint gnex can chime in. i dont see what i could be doing wrong tho. hmmm

*Update*

:D

So all that's left is figuring out how to write the VIA equivalent of QPST's PPP Um tab and we have 100% talk/text/3g solution for both the Sprint and Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Sprint, Boost, Virgin, Page Plus, Verizon, MetroPCS, Cricket and Iusacell(Mexico) are all confirmed to have working 3G data. Other carrier's such as fantsay777's Intertelecom require the PPP Um user/pass... so let's try to figure this out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dandog96:
How to

Sorry, I have a quick question. I have been incredibly interested in repairing an meid on some Galaxy Nexii I have access too. What I am wondering is, is there a solution just to repair esn and make the phone function with just Talk. If so could somebody point me in the right direction. Sorry for my newbishness
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robbiejobs:
Yaay! Congrats autoprime.. please don't leave this thread yet..Let's figure out how to disabling UIM..LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
I'm not going anywhere!! I've had MEID solution before I started this thread.. it's just different than yours. Wanted to see what some other people came up with. ;) https://twitter.com/autoprime4g/status/206220594109366272

Thanks again for being a part of the solution and helping out!

But anyway... I want to see this to the end. All VIA devices with 100% solutions!! It's just hard for me to work on the UIM disable since I only have a Sprint device with no UIM support. But still trying to do as much research and testing as possible.

I have updated Page 1 in this thread with more info. post #2 contains the new meid repair info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Abramzzz:
I'm sure it's programmable via ETS; we've been able to write it, but with wrong value (I saw carrier's log with a wrong value in it :D). Now we just can't find the field.:rolleyes:

My own Gnex will arrive tomorrow (we tried all things on fantsay777's one), and I'll continue research.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dandog96:
Quick question. If I'm doing meid repair should I get a sprint or Verizon nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robbiejobs:
Since you're going to flash to another carrier, I think you better get Sprint version..because autoprime has succesfully flash his phone.

I'm a little bit worried with Verizon phone, because it's always reverting back to original value when I try to change HSDP setting on my Droid Charge. Maybe I'm missing some steps..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
like robbiejobs, I'd suggest a Sprint model. A Sprint bad esn version would be cheaper than a Verizon version I'd imagine. There are no bad esn Verizon versions since they use sim cards.

once uim is disabled on the Droid Charge those settings will stick. but until then... :(

they should stick to vzw gnex now that uim can be disabled by flashing sprint radio. no one has confirmed data working after the uim disable... hopefully someone can chime in with a working experience. might be a few days before anyone notices what we have done so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thorasaurus:
There are obviously a lot of smart people and seasoned phone flashers in this thread so I've always wondered.

What do we put in the EVDO username and password fields to actually get VZW 3G on our flashed Sprint phones? I've never gotten the "vzw" password to really get me anywhere. Are most people just grabbing the HEX codes off a feature phone or what?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robbiejobs:
Depends on network setting but usually the password is MEID or ESN, almost every carrier in my country use this as password, idk in the US.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
i dont think "vzw" was ever a legit password? easiest method would be to activate any verizon phone onto PP then use that as a donor... meid/mdn/msid... as well as pulling the HA/AAA hex codes. the AAA from your mip profile is also the AN password. mip profile username also goes into the AN Nai username. on the sprint gnex you would fill out mip profile 1(leave 0 blank) with correct username/ha/aaa hex. then AN Nai and AN password. SPI must be set correctly as well... and if using nv manager to set SPI you MUST write SPI in decimal.. NOT hex form. when we use qpst it takes the hex form... example.. sprints SPI is 4D2. Convert that hex to dec and u get 1234. so 1234 is the correct SPI for sprint. i think verizon uses 12C for SPI.. which is 300 in dec i believe. etc etc.

now what do u do when you dont have a verizon donor phone to use? apparently it CAN be done. the key to OTA provisioning is the DMU key. there is info for people activating htc evo on page plus and getting 3g working... let me see if i can pull that info together.

on sprint/verizon.. things are a bit more tied down. the AAA codes are completely unique to the device and are provided via OTA. some of our other carriers like Cricket and MetroPCS are along the lines of what you have described... very easy to reprogram without any sort of OTA required.

galaxy swap with epic touch

Sorry for the noob questions.

I'm from the epic touch forums and recently broke my screen. My friend has galaxy nexus from sprint that is currently flashed

metropcs. With this method could I just flash my current epic touch esn and sprint data to the galaxy nexus and everything should be working?

If I'm missing anything please let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robbiejobs:
In theory yes, but AFAIK changing ESN in US is illegal. You'd better replace the screen :D

Experiments

Anyone good in hex editing? Just found this thread :

Wonder if this hack applicable to GNex / Charge modem files. I try to open cp_modem.bin and lte_modem.bin and I saw a lot of UIM text there...just don't know what to do :p

OOT

@autoprime Currently i'm using Epic 4G Touch, in your opinion which one is better versus the GNex ( don't compare in hacking sides LOL I know GNex is the winner, I wanna know the camera, sound, and screen ) is it worthed to replace the E4GT to Gnex? Because I saw you in another thread, seems you're an Epic Touch user too. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imagecolour:
robbiejobs i am watching you for Droid Charge , i am trying to do my bit to get Droid Charge work on Indian network(Reliance CDMA) and i am also in the phase where you are struck.It is the UIM which is causing problems, the programing wont stick.Hope we can disable the UIM and every thing works.Hope to get a update from robbiejobs and autoprime to make Droid Charge working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thorasaurus:
Changing ESN is only illegal if done with the intent to defraud; this is a GRAY area though so YMMV. One would assume that if you owned both devices, what's the big deal, but I wouldn't want to end up in prison for it.

I think the main idea behind the legal problem is cloning an ESN to more than one device so it would ring multiple people and thus multiple people could share one line.

I know you were asking autoprime, but my two cents

As for the E4GT vs. Gnex, I've also had both. Gnex wins in my opinion. The resolution of the screen is higher which makes everything look better. I like the slight curve of the screen and the overall feel of the phone. It just feels more premium. The camera is better on the E4GT but not by miles, just a little. And (though this may be due to the E4GT never having source while I had it), all of the Gnex roms feel faster out of the gate.

With JB, it's really nice and fast to open everything. And the multitasking works well.
