[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loribuono:
I went through your process in your video (to get a Verizon Nexus working on Page Plus) and, while I had no idea what I was actually doing, I was able to follow it with no problems. So, thank you!

Now, I'd like to upgrade to JB 4.3, but I'm really new at this and don't understand all the ramifications. I'm thinking I'd just like a stock, rooted phone. I don't need or like Halo, Pie, or themes. (Although, I do like being able to set my notification bar icon colors.)

My question, and I realize it's been asked here already (without a response that really makes sense to me), will flashing a new ROM require me to wipe my phone and reconfigure all my settings? If not, what can I use to backup/restore them? Does TWRP do that? Titanium Backup (free/pro)? Will TWRP even still be there if I have to wipe my phone?

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dragonhart6505:
doesnt really matter. if your worried about it trashing the sim, then sure pull it. in my experience it really doesnt matter

if you wipe with TWRP i would recommend making a backup, but be careful. for whatever reason 4.3 roms may have issues restoring apps and settings from a 4.2 rom. use TB (pro) to back everything up and you shouldnt have any problems restoring everything.

also wiping in TWRP wont rid your PP flash or wipe TWRP itself. that would just be silly >_<
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loribuono:
Thanks for getting back to me! I ended up putting Shiny on it this morning, before seeing this post, and it went pretty well. It's much faster than it was before. I could barely use it before. I am still having a problem sending MMS messages, though. I've tried all the APN settings and a workmessages.apk, but nothing works. Any thoughts?

Oh, and silly to you maybe, but to those of us lost in a sea of cryptic decimal numbers and acronyms, all questions are equal. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dragonhart6505:
4.3 roms are known to have problems with MMS. i dont have the phone anymore, but there are free/paid alternative messaging apps that get around it.

trust me ive seen some strange things happen with phones. just check out this video i made. the GNex has no carrier info AT ALL but gets perfect 3g web signal. i can reproduce the result at will...but thats my secret and i plan to keep it that way ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
somebody help me please.... i have everything going except a few faults. in device manager INTF2 is still with the yellow icon. i tried installing a load of drivers and none are seeming to install on my computer. windows 8 64bit. it just ask for permission loads and does nothing after. somebody please help me fix this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
i am on page plus now. what i was missing was the line that shows this after entering your area code was needed to change to your MDN not your phone number. so dont miss that part. everything works perfectly. no problems with 3g, its ready and hot. thanks to innominate for a quick guide and most thanks to dragonheart for his youtube video.alright

Can someone help

With the link for ets 8.5.17?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
okay im having problems now. i flashed my vzw gnex to pageplus about a week ago and been noticing some retarded issues. incoming calls is my biggest problem. when im at work my wife calls over and over and when the call actually comes through(ringtone) she starts yelling why im not answering??? i tell her my phone only rang once. what is going on with this? starting to think pageplus actually sucks. the 3g data speeds are terribly sluggish. and i mean slooooooow. a friend at work has pageplus on his iphone and has no issues. wth is going on?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andriusic:
Please upload EOS 4

Can you guys please upload any working EOS 4 bild? I need it to flash my phone to another carrier. Team EOS GOOIM is down. Please :crying::crying::crying::crying: I cant get the phone flashed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isruco:
I might have some roms but they are for Sprint Toro plus. I'll check back later on my pc. Btw I've moved on to Samsung Galaxy SIII and w/o changing anything but the phone, my 3G speeds are hitting around 2megs down and 1 Meg upload. GNEX never consistently hit over 1 Meg down. Consider moving on to SIII instead.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andriusic:
PRL doesnt flash!

I have succesfully flashed all the info to my phone, but when I try to flash the prl through cdma tools it turns the radio off and then on. with the default PRL(sprint)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Boytrix:
Thx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
pageplus sucks. when my data is on and i receive a phone call.... there it goes. it shuts off and i gotta play with data enabled and takes about 3-4 minutes to get it back up. this phone is actually more headaches than its worth. looking to buy a nexus 4 about this time and selling my gnex that aint even a month old yet. also there is no support on this thread anymore???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loribuono:
Got my Nexus working on Page Plus, and it was fine for awhile (except I add never allow to send or receive MMS). I put the Shiny ROM on it, and that was fine, too. But I tried troubleshooting the "no MMS" issue and may have messed something up. I have no data whatsoever.

Can anyone on this thread help me troubleshoot this? I just upgraded to the Page Plux $29.95 plan, and would really like to take advantage of it.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stslivealoha:
Aloha-

Just wanted to share my thanks to all who helped in developing the ability to flash the verizon gnex. I followed the instructions (sort of) posted by dragonhart6505 and was successful flashing over to PagePlus. So far, 3 days and counting, no issues so far! I did not port my current mobile number yet as i wanted to make sure everything works okay before fully committing to PagePlus.

I did have a difficult time connecting to ets, but i realized that once i physically connected my phone, launched ETS, (would notify USB not connected) i went to CDMA Tools (provided by the EOS Rom) and turned off USB debugging, then turned it back on. I would then see ETS say my phone is now connected!

Anyway, once flashed i utilized the included ROM Paranoid Android 3.60 and i noticed it does not have the CDMA tools app. So, i went back and flashed back to the EOS Rom, saved the CDMA Tools apk file to the sdcard. Flashed back to the Paranoid Rom and attempted to install it. However, i must be doing something wrong as it will not install. I really would like this app installed so i can reflash PagePlus with my current mobile number without having to go back to EOS Rom. Is this possible? I tried looking for that app (googled) but could not find it.

Any help would be appreciated!

Mahalo (thank you) again, for making this possible!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
in order for you to send or receive mms data must be on.regular texts are fine with it off. try reflashing the rom and gapps and starting over. i usually reflash the i515 3g patch and the radio.zip along with the rom and gapps. no special settings need to be made to anything.

you do not need the cdma tools as they are only built in to the eos rom. it is already fully flashed to pageplus therefore unneeded. just be sure whatever rom you flash make sure to flash the 3g patch and radio along with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
Here's a link to the Sprint Diagnostics app, there's also a CDMA Tools apk in that thread too but this is the one I use. It needs to be a system app, the file linked in this post is a .zip flashable in recovery. It won't work on stock roms but works on CM, etc.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41159601&postcount=113

Of course, if you copy the CDMA Tools apk from the EOS ROM into /system/app and fix its permissions, that should work too (after a reboot of course).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stslivealoha:
Mahalo for the links and i will try your suggestion. I only copied the apk to the sdcard and tried to install from there. Just to be clear, i need the CDMA Tools so i can connect to ETS to re-flash to pageplus when i port my "Old" current mobile number in PagePlus. I assume when i contact PagePlus to port the number, I will get a new MIN along with my "old" mobile number. (Not sure about SID).

I am currently with MobiPCS here in Hawaii and since i have been "grandfathered" I get a decent rate with no limit on talk text and data. However, i couldn't find anyone to flash Verizon GNEX over to Mobi due to the VIA chipset. I do have my current HTC EVO Shift rooted and running a custom Mik Rom. I would be very interested if i could "extract" the info from it, insert into a script to flash via ETS.

Again, mahalo for the quick replies....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
are you on maui?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stslivealoha:
No, on the main island Oahu...

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------

Once again thanks for your assistance. Went into recovery, mounted the system and copied the apk to the /system/app folder. fixed it's permission, rebooted and voila...it works, and ETS connects. so, hopefully all i need to reflash PagePllus script via ETS.

Do i still need to flash gaps and the patch again after re-flashing the PagePlus script?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
No, you don't need to flash gapps, the 3g patch, or the CDMA Tools apk unless you re-flash your ROM (or flash a different ROM).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loribuono:
HELP with ETS? Desperate

I'm reflashing my phone to Page Plus (going through Dragonhart's entire procedure), because it got pretty screwed up trying to fix the "no MMS" issue.

I'm at the point where I need to run the script in ETS. But the only way my PC recognizes the phone is with Diag Mode OFF. Then it sees my phone. Turn Diag Mode on, and it sees it as an unrecognized device. I can NEVER get all that crap to show up in the ETS window, even after Debug | Send Startup Command.

I've been playing with this thing for 4 days and need to get it working. Need to get to bed, 'cause my four-year-old gets up early!

Any help?

EDIT: Well, that was fun. Up til 1:30 AM. Finally got it working. Was using wrong drivers. Didn't have via drivers installed at all. Had to go find them. And, after all that, still no MMS working at all. Guess I'll have to just live without it.

Thanks for everyone's help this past weekend.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
that sucks loribuono.

any ways.....PLEASE BE ADVISED WHEN FLASHING TO PAGEPLUS!!!

when trying to close account they will not let you unless you fax over your-i.d and MEID number. they will not do so otherwise. unless you have a different phone your phone's MEID is locked in with them. and its verizon so youre pretty screwed if you dont have another phone available. i used my old broken ZTE Warp from boost and it worked. i am no longer recommending flashes over to pageplus. i was flashing down here in hawaii but not no more. there company sucks. data is almost unusable and calls come through only sometimes. i moved on to solavei a far better company. good luck to all you flashers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loribuono:
That may be, but I've not yet had any issues with Page Plus. They're cheaper, and I don't use a lot of data. I'm mostly on wifi. Just like to have it if I need it, without paying Verizon a gazillion dollars for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
That's true about the convenience of price compared to vzw pricing Solavei is a far better company than page plus. Page plus says no contract but its like one tthing to cancel accounts. I personally hated my experience with page plus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stslivealoha:
PagePlus 3G

aloha-

its been 2 week and so far so good, i ported the number over by reflashing the PagePlus script. everything seems to be working okay however i did notice errors in the fault log. I did i t a couple of times and the exact errors always appeared. I made sure i entered the correct data (in the script) and followed the directions as described. (airplane, debugging, etc.)

First, does ETS create and save the fault error log? what is the path. (unfortunately did not manually save the log file)

2. Not sure if this is the correct place for this, but are their better radios that i could use that possible that would help in improving the 3G speed? while the phone indicates 3G, it is terribly slow.

Finally, thoughts on updating to a more current rom, more specifically a 4.3.3 based rom. How will this affect (improve or any issues) the phone.

Again, as always, thanks....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loribuono:
What's their coverage like? I've always had Verizon and never had issues with a signal anywhere. But after checking out Solavei online, getting 4g is tempting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
their coverage is far better than i ever expected. my nexus 4 catches pretty much everywhere here in hawaii. internet is fast unlike pageplus. the highest speedtest i got was 0.12mb download and upload speed. with solavei i get anywhere from 7-9mb download and 2-3mb upload. and thats only using their hspa+. if i used 4g id probably get their throttled speed at 17mb. hspa works fine though.plus if you recruit people you get money back which is nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diekrazy:
Correct me if I am wrong but the only way to get "3g" is to use a donor phone when flashing to page plus. No matter what method you use it will not be true 3g speeds unless the donor phone was used to get the necessary keys. I have flashed two Verizon galaxy nexus phones and they both were done using the method that stated no donor phone was needed. They work but data is iffy and slow. Also the signal strength is very weak compared to my droid x2 in a side by side comparison. I got errors in ets when running the script, but don't know what they mean.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DX///M:
anything? :D:D how about reading the first three posts carefully and patiently in this thread and focus on "pageplus", and maybe look for urhaxable's script in the "galaxy nexus flashing help" thread.

thanks i figured it all out ,talk text working waiting to get a sim card went to a verizon complete store this morning and they wouldnt give me a sim card will get one somewhere to make sure all works,.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rumi409:
Thank you, OP, for the guide and the scripts. It helped me to get my Verizon Galaxy Nexus on PagePlus with working Talk, Text, and internet. However, the internet is really slow. With multiple attempts to get true 3g data, the best I got was 130kbps down and up. Has anyone been able to get at or above 1Mbps? I'd be interested to know if it's possible without a donor. If a donor is needed to extract the secret keys, why do the guides not mention it? Thanks.

Verizon Gnex(on Pageplus) on 4.3 or 4.4

I have sucessfully flased my Verizon Gnex to Pageplus. Thanks for all the help from this thread!!!

Here is my problem. When I flash any 4.2.2 based or ealier rom everything works fine (talk/text/mms/3g data). I have tried Cyanogenmod, Miui, Liquid....all work with just a normal wipe and flash.

When I try a 4.3 based rom I can't get data to stick. The 3G icon will turn on and off then stay off on most 4.3 roms. On Cyanogenmod's 10.2 rom it doesn't seem to work at all. On Liquid's 4.3.1 rom it works for a few seconds then shuts off and keeps doing that over and over. On DirtyUnicorns' 4.3.1 rom data doesn't work at all. If i use an AOSP based 4.3 rom the data works but MMS does not.

On any 4.4 Cyanogenmod based rom I don't get 3G data at all. And then on a 4.4 AOSP based rom i get data to work but no MMS(using Hangouts or stock messaging app). I've pretty much tried them all. I always flash the 3G patch after flashing the rom and gapps.

I'm running 4.2.2 Miui right now and it works great. Under the phone info for set preferred network it says GSM/CDMA auto(prl), but when I'm using a 4.3 or 4.4 rom it always says unknown and if I change it, it just goes back to unknown again. Has anyone with a Verzon Gnex flashed to Pageplus used a 4.4 based rom and got everything working? I'm using the latest Pagplus PRL.

Any help on how the setting are getting messed up with 4.3 and 4.4 based roms would be greatly appreciated.

What am I missing?

I've flashed probably 5 Galaxy Nexus to Page Plus. For the life of me I can not get data working on this latest one.

I've pulled the HA, AAA, and AN via DFS. Plugged in the values via Autoprimes 3G script. PRL is 53269. I'm running stock Sprint 4.3 on a Sprint Galaxy Nexus. Radios are L.700.05 V.FH05/L700.FH05. HDR/1x is set to Hybrid.

I know my HA, AAA and AN keys are good because the donor is pulling 3g. The Nexus just won't connect however to 3g with the values.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] afextwin:
LOL. You quoted OP. OP has your answer. Read what you quoted. LOL

If you are on 4.3 you need a SIM card even if RUIM is set to NVOnly via Sprint LTE Radio. (I could be wrong, this is just my speculation based on experience with TW and Sense ROMs.)

CAVE/AKEY+SSDA+SSDB ?

EFS/DMU/10.KEY ?

SimpleIP Only?

SPC 000000?

(I never got 3g on my Verizon GNex when I had it on PPC, but 1x worked fine, so I don't know if these settings are required or if they can even be set.)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kingdieselfish:
First post here and first off I would like to thank everyone for all of their work on this, this information has helped in the making of some great tutorials.

I successfully flashed my GNexus 4 to pageplus confirmed 3G with Paranoid ROM but with the issues I am having I have redone this 3 times.

Initially everything appeared great, attempted to make first call to active and in the middle of setting up voicemail the phone made a beep noise and stopped. After that every time I attempted to dial it would just beep and drop. I would get intermittent phone calls out, the phone would function for about 5 minutes a week. This went on for 4 weeks or so. I flashed back stock rom and unrooted. I then redid the entire process. Same symtoms. I dealt with it for another week or so.

So the ironic part to my story and hopefully someone can help me out is, I recently went on a drive down to Texas, from Ohio where I live. My phone became fully functional once I reached southern ohio near Cincinnati, and vice versa on the way back stopped working once we were back past Cinci.

I got all my programming info from Page Plus.

Any help would be greatly appreciated....Please feel free to PM or Email

I flash my Verizon galaxy nexus to page plus a couple of weeks ago following dragonhart tutorial on YouTube, everything worked even 3g. 3g was very slow was getting around 12mbps down. I have a fascinate I I grab the hh and aaa passwords by cloning the fascinate. Switch them back. So I reflash my nexus the same way I did before but after I ran the script in dragon Hart tutorial I flash the 3g script. I had voice and text but no 3g. I went back to stock did the same thing, still no 3g. Went back to stock again but did the same thing I did from the beginning which got me 3g, I still don't have 3g. I was thinking of flashing my cdma sprint radio to another one, or activating my fascinate and then switching back, any one have any idea how I can get my 3g back?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hong Kong Phooey:
I'm not even interested in using 3g. I just wanted to use talk and text on PagePlus. Wifi is good enough for me.

I'm sooo grateful for this. I had no idea that any Verizon phone wouldn't work on PagePlus... until I tried to switch, haha.
