Dag.....man I just read this entire thread. Nevell I will hit you up once I purchase the latest CDMA workshop. That other one I asked about does seem to work. Anyways, I look forward to getting this done. I would rather have 3g working vs. 1x, also if I can get the stock MMS too. Thanks in advance!

You give tutorials/advice on workshop in general?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] williamlw:
Thanks for the effort tonight, Nevell. I really do appreciate the followup.

So everyone is aware, the flashing is fine and was the first time. So, my issue is still undetermined but I am going back to 4.0.4 and trying the info found in this thread.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1940190
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
What I'm asking is why would you have to put the meid back when its not supposed to even be changed on the GS3 period?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
For whatever reason the guy above had for changing the MEID on a VZW GS3 (perhaps he wants to use a donor or bad esn?), he asked whether he needed to put the MEID back to bring the phone back to original VZW service. And you answered no...because the SIM would take care of it.

Is the prcess the same for new and existing accounts on PP?

So, I am not sure if there was ever an answer for this. Is the process of switching out phones on PP the same as flashing a phone to a new account on PP? I already have an account with PP using a VZ Wireless Samsung Smooth. I am swapping that one out for the VZ GS3. When calling PP they said they could switch over the phone and I would have talk and text but that they could not help me with the programming. I assume they meant they couldn't help me get 3G.

Now, to get 3G I understand I need a donor phone. I have a Samsung Smooth which is not a 3G phone but i also have a VZ LG Chocolate and a VZ Droid X. I was planning on selling off the Droid X but if I need to keep it I'll do that. the Chocolate was given to me for free and I do not know the history of the phone other than it worked fine on PP until I got my Droid X which I used on Verizon.

Any help/clarification would be great! TIA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stangboycic:
One thing to keep in mind. On Pageplus a donor phone doesn't mean that phone is no longer any good. In fact I've used the same donor phone to flash over 50 phones now. The best phones to use are the older android or windows phones. Phones such as the chocolate as I recall used WAP protocol. Which wouldn't work for what you're trying to achieve.

I used my Droid Incredible around 2,000 times Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] na3eem:
I flashed my s3 (Sprint bad ESN) to Page plus and i have full 3g, talk, text working,, however I have a wierd problem, whenever my phone is in the charger, I lose all connection & when it is unplugged, the connection comes back up again. Does anyone experience this problem and know of a fix?? maybe its the flash thats making it happen? Im rooted also... i dont have a custom rom (I dont think)... can anyone help with this issue? thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stangboycic:
Are you using the original charger and cable?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] na3eem:
yes all original. and also tried it with numerous cables... it always does it in my house... it is weird.... I heard its something dealing with if your area has old verizon towers it will disconnect... it is like a bug in the software... like when i charge it at school... its fine,,, never loses service.. but once i get home.. all service lost when charging and i have to unplug it for it to work again... my friend has a s3 too (Sprint flashed to PP) and it also does the same thing at his house....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stangboycic:
So did mine but I didn't have an original charger to try. When I had a sprint GS3 I had a spare battery and charger. I would just swap it out when the battery died. But now I'm using a Verizon version. Have you tried any other PRLs? Nevell posted one a few pages back that is a modified prl for sprint phones on page plus. Maybe that would make a difference. Shot in the dark but I am curious, if you figure out a way to fix this let me know. And one more thing. When I switched from the stock ROM to chemistry ROM I noticed it wasn't near as bad. I still lost a few bars but not near as much as when I was using the stock one. Not to mention my talk+data at the same time magically started working again when I did that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] moparfreak426:
any links or is it the exact same ways as galaxy SIII? Also since when is it not allowed to get 3g on the galaxy SIII? your not changing esns or anything..... and the ha and aaa keys can be used on multiple phones but I believe it slows data some... i think
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
The method used to get 3G involves meid cloning and its not allowed on the forum. Believe me I tried to post the link but a forum admin removed it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stangboycic:
The note2 is the exact same as the gs3 as far as flashing steps. When you unlock it with CDMA workshop hit the "test" first and let it find the right unlock password for you. That was the only difference I had.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
Yep the Note 2 is exactly the same as the GS3 and the Stellar. I send the default 16 digit code to get the msl then write zeros.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] moparfreak426:
Yes cloning is illegal but if your not really cloning...... There's gotta be another way.....

and if rooted in terminal you can't use 'getprop.MSL'?

Sent from an Apple devouring JellyBean
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
You can download Get My MSL from the play store and install it but, don't open it yet.

Then open the dialer and dial this number ##702146#

Now open Get My MSl and press the "Get My MSL" button and there you go.

Don't even need to be rooted for that to work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Yes I understand that but I want to see what other boxes you have checked in CDMAworkshop. You can blank out the phone number info just want the other items. I have flashed hundreds off phones to page plus with 3g but this darn sprint s3 I just cannot get. Thanks in advance. If you do not want to post it, PM me.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] futr_vision:
Excellent!! So the the Droid X it is. Sounds like If I use it as a donor I should probably keep it in case i need it again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
You want be able to use a droid x as a donor. You want a incredible 1, incredible 2, or samsung fascinate.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
What tab do you need to see ?

Also anybody who is flashing to Verizon Prepay what donor are you using ? Because my Incredible doesn't seem to work.

I use the samsung gusto 2 it's only 15 bucks at walmart 20 at dollar store and you get full 3g.

It's 16 digit password is 2011101116083112. I use dfs and never need to use cdma workshop.

Something interesting with verizon gs3 if you install anycut and make a shortcut to IOTHiddenMenu well to put it simply it's a badass menu if your gonna be flashing it.

A few pages back some mentioned that if you freeze setup wizard you won't get the no sim card notification. Can anyone confirm this? I think that I might just remove all permissions from it with es file explorer since once your setup you won't need it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] revized:
i just used titanium backup and froze setup wizard and reboot and still getting no sim message.

my sprint s3 always will drop call and have a no signal icon and give message no service area, at least once every day =(

because of this reason , that and mixed with not being able to get a voicemail notification i just bought a Verizon s3 for $375 off ebay $75 more then i paid for my sprint one well worth the head aches,

thanks navell for posting that video back up for a minute , i downloaded it and i like how you say ,uuummm, and alrighteee so many times it just wouldnt be the same without that ;). anyways thanks for the menu key code for getting diagnostic mode going.

It's definitely not the setup wizard. I was able to get the no sim insert sim card message to go away and have the 3g icon show up by force closing com.android.phone. May have to do some smali editing to get it to work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] revized:
what editing? can titanium backup freeze this process and work without editing?

A BRO said he knows how to fix it and my issues , said today , i will report back

navell i am talking about the "FORBIDDEN" video with "3G" that i downloaded the one you posted for a little more then 24 hours
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] futr_vision:

do you have any other phones , or can you tell us about your phones you have had in the past and all that history to go along with them please , it makes no difference if its 1g or 2g, and please list all the cell ohone carriers they have had, you dont have to tell us if you plan on selling them just what you "actually" sold them for as this can change from apples to apples as the market goes down each day for phones with blimishes on them anyways need to hear it all my guy. this is the only way we can clarify exactly whats ,whys , whens and where is going on. :good:

as for your question , "Is the process of switching out phones on PP the same as flashing a phone to a new account on PP?

but the bottom line is yes it will work just chat with a support rep and your all wrapped up.;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Asadullah:
Honestly the meid thing is like this if you own both devices and only plan on using one of them then it's okay. The problem is that people were taking the esn and cloning it onto several phones back when phone calls were really expensive.

Most people that tell you it's outright illegal are either naive, trolls or trying to make a buck. I'm not knocking anyone making money since we all gotta but to try to restrict knowledge is pretty messed up. On one of these forums there is a pretty good write up about it. On all of these different forums there are certain moderators that will end the thread because they don't know any better (remember these are just other members that wanted a job). But on all of the different forums there are guides on how to do it (I've posted quite a few). It's only a gray area if you don't read and understand the regulations.

"Wait, wait, wait Asadullah your wrong I'm gonna report you to moderators", no I'm not and even if I am why? IF you really wanna get down to it alot of what goes on here and on other forums is. Did you know your not supposed to redistribute,reverse engineer or modify the software on the phones ie make roms? That is what it is, the thing is that companies don't enforce alot of that. Until xda gets c&d don't worry about it let them

s3 wont take default password

Ok so i flashed my s3 to vzw prepaid, then I wanted to give it to a family because data was 1x, I went to reflash, it still takes the msl code but will not let me reflash because it says the default samsung code 01f2030f5f678ff9 is not right. I know it is right i have usd it many times. Anyone have any ideas on how i can fix?....Also when I use get my msl, it says error everytime, but before it would go through after i did the ##3282# trick. I know the msl is still the same because I can dial ##mymsl# and edit the numbers. Did I do something to stop the password from working? Help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
If it has android version 4.1.2 they changed the default 16 digit or blocked it. I know after that update it stopped working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ironsuperman:
what is the new password
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AlpineMan:
It wasn't changed on Android 4.1.2...it was changed on the radio. Thus, downgrade the radio to LG2 or below and the password will work. No need to downgrade Android.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Asadullah:
I flashed the sgs3 to 50 dollar prepaid for a friend but before that I've had my htc evo 4g lte flashed for about 8 months and before that my lg marquee. All on the same account. I've also flashed several different phones for friends and a couple customers and not one of them have had an issue except with trying to figure out how to use their phones.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] revized:
were those phones all verizon brand?

if not then maybe this one guy lied to me saying people are getting their accounts banned by verizon because if you dont have all the auth keys that verizon requests all day long and the keys requested come back invalid then you are put in que for a actual tech to look into your account and find you are using a unauthorized device your done. LOL , i paid the dude $99 buks and he said said he has been doing this for seven years ,yadda yadda. i know how to do this with all the right keys.

at that time i was using my s3 with no data on verizon prepaid, and i was worried about my phone number. flashedphones.net i paid him and here never emailed me back , then i filed a paypal claim and paypal got the money back for me. i got the proof, emails ,paypal screenshot trails the whole 9 yards.

this is the video i watched that initally got me tweeking on the whole thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JClvxdiGBPs

he has another 30 video tut showing how hard it is to get the verizon s3 into diag mode , thats why i was thanking navell for the hidden menu key code! this flashed phones dude seems really legit , but its not true!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Asadullah:
None of them have been verizon branded until the gs3. That guy is a flat out liar and is trying to get you to believe his non sense so that you won't go to other services or people because you may believe him and his cheap outfit. When I was trying to get mms to work originally I called them for hours trying to get them to send me a data packet to update the nam. I'm sure that verizon cares but at the same time they are making money instead of page plus or and other mvno so they probably won't crack down and if they do then well on to page plus or another prepaid company.

Almost forgot I figured out a way to get voicemail as well. I'm gonna post a guide but I wanna do two things first: one get a job doing this at one of the local orlando shops. I know they read this and I know none of them are flashing the verizon sgs3 to verizon prepaid (I also know some of them read xda cuz one of them recognized me) I also want to make sure that I have the procedure 100% down pat and am doing this the easy way.

Hey guys I know this is for a Galaxy S3 flashed to PP but I'm have a problem with my S3 flashed to straight talk. I had a guy remotely flash it for me and everything seems to work but I get really slow DL and UL speeds if I'm not right at a cell phone tower. I bought a wilson sleek to use at home and even with almost full bars still only get 150kb DL & 200kb UL. I went in and looked at some of my settings and the PPP has myphonenumber@vzw3g.com for the user and a bunch of question marks and symbols for the password. Shouldn't my password be vzw?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Asadullah:
You probably needed a different prl like 53000. Also my guess is he cloned a straight talk phone and info to your phone. That's my guess. As for getting real 3g I'm only gonna guess and say that with the proper aaa settings that were in there and a good prl you would possibly get better data. Of course it could be your area. Really hard to tell
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dmonleo:
Ok so I was able to get a very weak non-stable 3G signal on ky Gs3 on PPC. I even had mms go through on the native mms app (didn't back those settings it up though- gonna be along weekend-trial and error).

3G shows when settings are: CDMA auto prl/DNS allowed/. I was able to get shared secrets from Gusto 2. AA / AAA, also the PPP using DFS and NV writer/reader. Steady data at 1xrtt... with CDMA only/DNS allowed.

1) Is a 3G device required for the shared secrets, etc. If not, what settings should I be looking for to obtain a steady signal.

2) Or do the "forbidden methods" need/required to be used i.e. , donor / target switch, OTA then import settings to target. To get desired results?

3) Are the shared secrets unique to the MDN, etc...
