Will the Sprint Galaxy Nexus with Boost setup be able to pickup Sprint LTE or only CDMA? Is the Boost CDMA network exactly the same network as the Sprint CDMA network (I presume so)?. Is that something the carrier will notice? Wondering if that might be a good way to violate TOS and get banned - since they know you must be using an "illegal" phone. I know Boost offers the Galaxy SII which works on the the Sprint/Clearwire 4G WiMAX network...

Is there any other way they can "see" what handset you are using (i.e. you are using a Galaxy Nexus when you are supposed to have a Galaxy SII on your account)?

I'm sure if you modified it to use 1 PRL to hop on VZW from Boost you would get banned (if you can even authorize that is).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkRazorZ:
I may be picking up a gnex soon. Am I correct in assuming that the Sprint model would be the best choice in trying to flash to MetroPCS?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robbiejobs:
@DarkRazorZ

Correct! Simpler flashing with Sprint Gnex

Will it use the LTE radio? **** wish I looked at this before I went to Boost. Oh well month to month anyway!!!

As far as I know LTE doesn't work.. maybe you should ask autoprime, I don't have LTE in my country :(

Did you mean meid flash?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samcraig:
ok so im lost here. Ive been trying to get my sprint gnex onto virgin for the last 3 days. my meid, msl, prl, and phone number are all showing correct on my phone but my imei is all 0s. right after i flashed it, it connected for a min and showed that i had a voicemail but since then I have nothing. trying to make a call just auto disconnects and texts cant go thru. is there a way to write just the imei in ets? or is something else the problem? thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LordLugard:
I think you mean to write the "meid", not imei. If the meid is correct, then the imei would show correctly.

Did you try ESN writer? That should do the trick.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samcraig:
no I mean imei. I followed the steps on this post using ets to change the meid, mdn, prl, and msi. when all was done i dialed 611 and it worked, after i hung up it never worked again. if i go into my gnex settings about phone i can see that everything i changed is correct but the imei is all 0s. I noticed that it says in the first post that ets may do this. seeing as everything else it right Im guessing that the imei is what is causing the phone not to work again so Im asking how do i fix that or is it not fixable?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
VIA seems to have a mind of its own sometimes.. try writing og meid and seeing if it's restored. gotta feel it out yourself sometimes.

for the record my imei is all 0's and i have NO issues with my device... tho im not on whatever carrier you're using.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samcraig:
well the only other thing that i just noticed is different is the prls. i downloaded a virgin prl and put on the nexus but the donor phone prl is different. they are both virgin so i dont know if that would be the problem

and like i said, the first time after the original programming, when i dialed 611 it connected and seemed fine. but after i restarted the phone it wouldnt connect again. it just disconnects almost instantly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
how to create PRL for ukrainian carrier???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] we350z:
Intf0 intf1 intf2

Whenever I plug my phone into any Windows computer (64-bit or 32-bit) when the phone is in Diag mode I see INTF0, INTF1, & INTF2 popup in the Device Manager with no recognized drivers. This happens with the stock ROM and the Team EOS Toroplus 3.0 ROM for me. If I put the settings back for DIAG menu back to "PDA" for USB and the DATA menu back to "UART" for ETS Channel I can then connect the phone again like normal. What gives? I've tried this on 3 different computers now - Windows XP 32-bit, Windows 7 32-bit and Windows 8 64-bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
install the appropriate VIA drivers and that won't be an issue. You may have to use device manager to point the unrecognized devices to the installed drivers manually if it's not finding them for you after you install them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samcraig:
I think Ive completely ruined my phone.... In my feeble attempts to restore my imei number and all my original information to start fresh I have somehow deleted my nv_data.bin file. I tried restoring to the factory tar, hoping that would fix everything, but the info I put in is still there along with the zeroed out imei and when I rooted again I can see the the nv_data.bin isnt in the factory folder on my root. Any suggestions or do I just have a really nice android touch lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
do a *#*#786#*#* reset.. use a stock rom for this.. TeamEOS rom has issues with 786 reset.. do NOT use TeamEOS rom to reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samcraig:
it reboots, tries to activate and times out, and when i check the factory folder the nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin md5 still arent there

the meid i put in is still there but the mdn and msid are zeroed and of course the imei is still zereod out lol

---------- Post added at 10:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------

this forum, http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/archive/t-1495423.html , says if you delete the entire folder it will rewrite itself for the s2. is this true for he nexus aswell?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
have you re-written the original meid.. then 786'd? a 786 reset will not reset the MEID/IMEI.

ive heard lots of different variations.. because VIAs have a mind of their own... but any time i write an MEID to the device that doesnt start with 99.. my imei is all 0's. when i write a 'proper' meid with 99 at the beginning.. the imei regenerates itself based on the meid you write to it.

service should work perfectly fine.. whether imei is there or not. you arent using LTE or GSM.. the imei is irrelevant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samcraig:
but what about the bin files that got deleted? arent they kinda important?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
not sure to be honest.. how exactly did you delete those files?

I've just delete those two files just for the heck of it and rebooted.. phone still works.. still makes calls... data perfectly fine. imei still 0's. AFAIK.. nothing in that folder would determine my phone connecting to towers. GSM phones.. maybe.. CDMA phones.. dont think so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samcraig:
well hell, there goes all my excuses on why this thing doesnt work lol. Auto you are the man when it comes to this can you give me a pointer or 2?

I did what the first page said and changed my meid, mdn, msid, and prl just trying to get talk and text working. the very first call to 611 connected, i did the happy dance, and went on to change my data and diag settings back. rebooted the phone and nothing worked. now it instantly hangs up when i try to call.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
never had any of these issues myself. the past few days I have been talking to Mattastrophe via PM. He had a similar issue it seems. I will quote some of his PM's.. he has fixed his issue. Slim chance you have the same issue.. but who knows.. :fingers-crossed:

I had a few ideas.. thought maybe prl.. or donor phone was on etc. Those were not the issues. Today Mattastrophe got back to me to let me know he had figured it out...

I'm not sure how his settings got switched off... and I don't have any other details unfortunately. If it ends up helping you.. please let us know.. and thank Mattastrophe of course :)

I would assume resetting the OG MEID.. rebooting... then performing a *#*#786#*#* > RESET would fix any lingering issues and get you back to "stock settings".. then you could reprogram. On a 100% stock device.. even unactivated.. you should get a Sprint error message about your phone not being authorized(as long as the Sprint PRL was in place). That would indicate a working phone.. all ready to reprogram onto the appropriate alternate CDMA carrier.

I have purposely tried to break the phone.. set incorrect values with ETS.. thrown crazy scripts at it... my phone has been flashed to about 10 diff CDMA carriers... and I've always been able to get back up and going with a 786.. then proper reprogramming afterwards. Gnex is actually one of my favorite devices to work with at this point... it just works(when programmed correctly).

where to find the A-key?

Hi guys,

I spent hours tried to flash my verizon GN. Now I finished installed the ETS, flash UMI, wrote PRL and MDN and MIN number. Now I should flash the A-key. Where can I find the A-key? The script "READ MSL / DATA PROFILES / PASSWORDS" didn't include the A-key. Can someone help please? thanks a lot1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
Reason=Security Key or SPC Mismatch

fix that and ETS will work. based on your quote.. the security code is not what should be there. also possible your MSL is no longer 000000. Rewrite to 000000.

Ok auto this is my exact method for trying to get talk/text virgin mobile on my sprint gnex

use ets to write meid.... right after i write it a bunch of faults=continue pop up but it does write the meid

dial *#*#000000#*#* and change the msid and mdn

use team oes sprint diag tools to change the prl

reboot the phone and everything shows exactly what i want but the phone doesnt connect
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
did you restore the phone to 100% stock with sprint prl and try to call out? this would confirm if there is a more serious issue going on or not...

if you can call out(but get told you are not authorized) then that would confirm the phone is ok. if that cant be done.. there might be a larger issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Distrainer:
Hi first post here. but I've been lurking.

I'm just wondering how much of a pain would it be to flash a verizon gnex to boost mobile.

I've been reading this whole thread, and I think I understand it mostly now.

First I want to put EOS Jellybean rom on it, then get it into diag mod. After that I have to disable verizon UIM, and flash the sprint CDMA modem onto it using xooz patch files. Then I just use ETS to write the script to it using http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31487108&postcount=417

I won't get the phone till tomorrow, but I've been researching for a week on google on how to flash phones, and I decided on the gnex

Thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] we350z:
My bad - I am guilty of using the wrong drivers. I was attempting to use the Samsung USB drivers not the VIA drivers. However - not sure the download link for 64-bit VIA Drivers is working properly. Either way got it to connect on my old 32-bit XP box so I should be able to get started.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] we350z:
Sprint to Other Carrier - can they see your device model?

Just wondering - if I were to port my GNEX from Sprint to another compatible carrier and my donor phone is Brand XYZ Model ABC. Can the new service provider pick up on the fact that you are now using a Samsung Galaxy Nexus instead? Can they "see" your device model number or any other attributes that might give it away? Do they care or actively monitor if they do have this ability? Can you overwrite the value(s) on your GNEX to be that of the donor phone? Will any 3G android device on the "new" network carrier suffice as a donor phone?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elduris:
Okay, I haven't really gotten much help with this, but I managed to get one Sprint Gnex flashed fully to Cricket and I'm looking at doing the same again for my girlfriend. Only problem is, I'm stuck at the same place I was before, I don't know how to get it to connect to ETS. First of all, let's go through the directions in the OP.

There must be steps that were left out or not fully explained. I have done everything this thread tells me to and I cannot, for the life of me, connect to ETS. Oh wait, there's a PS for posts like mine.

So you're basically saying it's a user error and that this guide is fool-proof? Then please tell me, what am I missing? Does the phone have to be in a certain mode, like Fastboot or something? There is clearly something that hasn't been fully explained, yet the messages in the OP sound like everything should be super simple. I mean, even the first time I managed to somehow Frankenstein together a working Gnex on Cricket, it took me three days of non-stop work trying to get around outdated files and ambiguous statements that never really get me where I want to go. A simple answer would suffice and, I think, help a lot of users like me.

You need to use the Gnex Toolkit to flash the proper radio image files before your data will work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vickyindore:
I will try to find it or Google it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
Feel free to use the other guides available if mine does not meet your standards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elduris:
What other guides? This is the only resource I can find to suit my needs. Every other "guide" out there just points to yours. I'm sorry if my comments came off as snappy, but I'm only trying to show you that even you missed underlining some key points that new users like me might miss. I am very new to flashing phones, but when I purchased a Sprint Gnex under the impression that a Cricket employee would flash it for me and was then turned down by everyone associated with the company, it was a do-or-die situation. I spent a lot of time at my computer reading these posts and finding every resource I could to get it to work. I eventually pulled it off and, in hindsight, I'm really happy that I got the opportunity to go through such a learning experience.

I have done it before, somehow, and I have done everything as you instructed, but to no avail. I kept a folder with all of my files that I downloaded in the first process and kept every setting the same as it was. Now, even my first Gnex won't connect to ETS. I have gone through every process I know and had my fair share of hair-pulling, "why-won't-you-work" moments that I know other developers share. Can you please just tell me what I'm missing here? I would be eternally grateful for saving me another migraine, really, you have no idea.

Thanks again for your time. I know you must be busy and it means a lot for a successful developer like you to take the time to respond to my posts.

Ok so I decided to give up on my virgin swap and just activate my sprint gnex on page plus since I dont want the data anyway but when I tried to activate online using my meid, not imei, it was rejected.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Elduris:
Dude, like I said, you need to flash the proper Radio Image Files over to your Gnex. Here, look, I'll walk you through it.

Remember at the bottom of the first post in the thread? The download labeled "Toroplus for Toro Full Radios FC-12"? Yeah, download and extract those files. After that, what you need to do is, very simply, go here

(well, since I can't post a link yet, just do a Google search for "flash galaxy nexus to cricket tutorial" and it will be the first link after advertisements)

and get the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit. Follow the instructions on that page to get it working, then place the Radio files you extracted in the proper folder (if you read the program well enough, it should be obvious where to put them). After that, hook your phone up and flash the Radios. You should now have your full data plan working overtime for you.

Not sure if it works on 4G or LTE networks, since I don't think Cricket takes advantage of that technology and I don't have any experience with any other carriers. However, you should be able to get 3G just fine.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] we350z:
AAA / HA Password Confusion & Auto Provision Data Services

I am infinitely confused about the whole AAA and HA password thing. Are these passwords specific to your user profile or will all phones from a certain carrier have the same password? Where are they read from (from what I gather you must use QPST/QXDM to scan NVRAM to obtain these values). Can you convert these values and set them in clear text via the Data Programming menu under Data Profile (i.e. *#*#DATA#*#*)? Why are there two profiles? What is the difference between profile 0 and profile 1? Are AAA passwords 6, 10, or 16 characters?

Also confused on the PPP part to be set via Ets as mentioned here - sounds like it is not necessary for carriers? Yet I've read about others having issues getting 3G working properly (only 1X available).

Is IMEI supposed to show as all 0's on the receiver phone? My understanding is that IMEI is only for GSM phones and is what is burned into the sim cards.

Lastly - is there a workaround to retrieving the AAA/HA password values from a donor phone if you have 2 donor phones and one receiver phone? Can you use the two to force automatic data provisioning (like when you get a new phone setup for the first time)? I assume that this only can happen when a given clean ESN is not active at the time and then is activated. So you would have 2 ESN's to switch back and forth between. Obviously a brand new phone does not yet have a profile user or any passwords set yet... So they cannot be retrieved when they are not yet there.

1) Activate donor phone "A" on carrier network

2) Activate donor phone "B" on carrier network (deactivating donor phone "A" on carrier network)

3) Activate receiver phone (i.e. Sprint Galaxy Nexus SPH-L700) on carrier network (deactivating donor phone "B" on carrier network)

https://apps.boostmobile.com/boostApp/handsetIdentifier.do

I am trying to use a Kyocera Hydro which does not (yet) have any USB diagnostic drivers available - so I cannot read NV items. They purposefully do this at the bequest of the carriers to prevent flashing. I am thinking about picking up a Samsung Prevail as a backup phone and so I can dev the Hydro - so wondering if what I described above would work or not...
