I just updated my prl to 52874 hoping it would point my Rez to 3g towers. Well, I'm still on 1x.
[HTC Rezound] Yura80:
Screenshots of 9K port. I've highlighted some important items.
[HTC Rezound] AsianCajun:
I finally got it. I wrote to both 8K and 9K ports and NAM1 and NAM2. All values were the same. My prl is the most recent verizon from my area, which is 52874. Here are the screen shots.

Thanks again to yura and javamaan for their hard work!
[HTC Rezound] snpiee:
You got 3G working now? I will compare your values to mine when I get home today....

Thanks for posting DFS screenshots!

By the way in your pics you use PrefMobileIP not SimpleIP is that correct?

Thanks for kindly sharing help here! I continue to tinker with this by lurking here and (after success with voice/texts/1x data) I'm now working on getting the 3g operating, and the dfs screen shots are very helpful. I want to upload a few for someone to see, and point me closer to my goal. Ive tried to imitate yours, but im running dfs 3.1.xxx and there are a few differences in the location of items, and labeled a bit different. I had to guess at one of the places to insert the dun info since it didnt show quite the same layout of lines/descriptions.For example, PAP has an extra line called data, while the PPP section has 1 less line , so I tried the dun line in that PAP section.

I'm very close to having this thing DONE and I never would have gotten here without great tutors right here!

BTW, What do you use to get the great screen shots to insert here in the forum?
[HTC Rezound] rgnicholas:
shorty1993, I know how crazy this all seems to get the PP account working at 100%. I did this on my Rez a few months ago and it is still working after dozens of ROM changes. So, I can verify it is possible. I have the 29.95 plan, btw. I am not the best tech savvy person but if I can assist in any way, I will try. You probably have already done a LOT of research to try and figure this out but if I can give you a practical comment or two...

review these threads again and make a few notes based upon your own interpretation as applied to your phone... I'd also review a few of the DFS videos on YouTube as they might spark your thinking

if it is at all possible, get your hands on an old style "3G" Verizon smartphone and put it on the PagePlus network, then test it to make sure it is working as expected... voice, sms & mms (I think most of us have an old phone like this or know someone who has one that is not being used)

set up your PC to log in to the 3G smartphone with the DFS software and make screen caps of everything you can as reference material... personally, I think this is the most important thing you can do (I can't remember for sure but DFS may actually allow you to export some of this to files, sort of like a backup)

simply replicate all of these setting in the Incredible 4G based upon the screen caps

take the old Verizon 3G phone off PagePlus and put the Incredible 4G on... PagePlus doesn't charge to flip flop back and forth... I have actually done this multiple times from a chat session with a PagePlus rep but be aware, they will not give you any extra hints or assistance in this process... they will just swap phones based on the MEID numbers you provide

Good luck! I bet you can figure it out... just be methodical and patient... in the end, it is worth it. BTW, I have personally settled in on using the CM 10.1 JellyBean variation that Flyhalf205 is maintaining. I like it a lot and I don't mind tinkering around with settings and such... if you want complete smoothness, I'd stick with a close to stock Sense ROM though.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
I've also been running my Rezound on PagePlus, been with them about a year and a few months. Good customer service but yes don't expect much technical help unless your willing to pay a local dealer, but for me that's OK when I was with Verizon I was all the time educating them on how to fix my problems... But you know VZW, they love flip cards :P
[HTC Rezound] rgnicholas:
Hey there... if you programed your Rez on your own, maybe you can give this thread a few pointers. Things which worked for you and things that did not. Sometimes, I am not completely sure that what I did has maximized the system for best performance... BUT, it does work ;) I just stopped when I got to that point.
[HTC Rezound] shorty1993:
Really good info, thanks. I have actually been on page plus for several years but thus far been fortunate hat all phones have been without modification needed. So this upgrade I wanted the rezound but got a deal on the Inc 4g. I am going to duplicate this process on that and will post back. Maybe somewhere along the line someone else may benefit.

Thanks so much for your time.

Where did u get the PRL files from? Are the file names consistent with how they would appear in phone info? I am showing a PRL 53022 on my currently working Inc2 for page plus. Wondering if that file would vary from device to divide.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Sure once I get a little time hopefully today I'll pound out the details. I've actually got 2 Rezound and an Incredible from VZW all on PagePlus. You just have to be particular about the order you follow the steps in or you could lose changes that you thought were committed.
[HTC Rezound] rgnicholas:
You can "pull" the PRL from one of your old phones... I did that with my DINC and simply uploaded it in the Rez using DFS. Worked like a charm. I "think" that I used DFS to do this... if not, it was the other program which they reference in the OP.

Kitty wireless is no longer supplying information to non members. Not that the min or MDN will be impossible to find but just posting for reference to anyone. Something about fraud investigation of some sort
[HTC Rezound] rgnicholas:
shorty1993... yea, that link is no good anymore BUT you can simply do a chat session with a PagePlus rep and they will tell you that info when you give them the phone's MEID... https://www.pagepluscellular.com/support/ or you call call them direct, they are very helpful on some things
[HTC Rezound] shorty1993:
Little confused about using apn thru titanium. How is that possible in a way that allows it to overcome ICS apn lock out. Almost got this thing finished but want to be sure absolutely clear before jumping off my current ship
[HTC Rezound] shorty1993:
i can say that this method absolutely does not work for the Inc 4g
[HTC Rezound] rgnicholas:
Sorry that you didn't have more success with it. You may want to consider allowing one of the commercial flashing companies have a go at it.
[HTC Rezound] shorty1993:
Out of work, full time students can't pay that kind of money. Just have to hope can get my cash back out of it.
[HTC Rezound] mrcitfly:
HELP!

Hey guys i tried following the link showing hwo to flash. It all seemed to work. i tried making an outbound call and i just get the verizon auto system saying its not active. I thought maybe its because of the sim card. Without sim card it doesnt even try to call and says needs a sim card. Can Anyone help me out on what i might have done wrong? Text doesnt work either! I dont really care about 3g i just want to have my TandT.
[HTC Rezound] mhook25:
I flashed rezound had 3g n all batt dies loose 3g no data at all tried over n over cant even get 1x help plz
[HTC Rezound] watt19:
Man, after I don't know how long. I finally has 3g working on my Rezound. I tried for awhile and even took it to a flasher in his store and he could not get it. It came down to going back to the very first software version of DFS 3.3.0.7 to write to the 9k port and bam 3g can on. It guess do not update the software when it ask.
[HTC Rezound] gpz1100:
Never mind.
[HTC Rezound] afextwin:
Has anyone tried this method on the DROID DNA? I'm assuming it will work as the rezound did (perfectly btw) just fine with CDMAWS 3.9 paid version. (9k port is key..)
[HTC Rezound] gpz1100:
The general instructions should work on most cdma devices.

I followed post 18/136 to do my evo 4g lte with success. I did have to add the 10.key file to the EFS in the DMU folder to get 3g.

Also, because of the way PP works, you are likely to lose any credits if you apply them to your temp # rather than the ported.

Although I don't own the device in this thread, can someone clarify what the port 9K means? Does this device show up with multiple com ports in the dfs port listing, one of the being labeled port 9K or something? Maybe a screen shot will better explain it.

Thanks!

So glad to rid of that sprint virus!
[HTC Rezound] afextwin:
The newer HTC LTE Phones have 2 DIAG COM Ports, one of them labeled 9K, I've done a T-Bolt, Incredible 4G & Rezound using CDMAWS 3.9, (not sure what the guy above is saying...Inc4g can be written to). Temp#? I didn't read anything about a temp# and have never used one myself, other than when testing phones...and I work for a page plus master distributor btw...I touch about 1500 phones a week.

Also, thank you for your response, I believe it will help a few people who stumbled in here looking for any help they could get with their e4gt's. I'm about to PM someone a link to that thread post 18 you typed about.
[HTC Rezound] gpz1100:
Ok.. I understand.. Still would appreciate a pic of the ports screen in dfs, that will put everything into better clarity. What is the other diag port used for?

Temp # is the number PP assigns to you when you don't do a port at the time of establishing service. I wanted to test the service out for at least a day before porting my # in and terminating the contract.
[HTC Rezound] epiks:
I got a question, I got everything working up until (3. vi)

I wrote the PRL, I set the RU-IM to NV Only. I entered the MIN and Dir_Number, clicked write. Then under the status I got

[HTC Rezound] BlastGT1:
For anybody out there who is still trying to get this on Page Plus, I had no problems getting talk and text to work with the instructions from the OP, but could not get data to work at all, 1x or otherwise, until I used a donor phone.

How to use a donor phone? Here's what I did:

1. Power off your ReZound (or other phone, since it's likely to work for many).

2. Do an ESN change with Page Plus to your donor phone. There are Page Plus dealers who will do this for free, or you can do so in chat with PP reps also for free. Any clean ESN 3G Verizon phone should do the trick, I did it with an HTC Merge.

3. Activate the donor phone by dialing *228 or *22890, let it reboot, confirm that it has data after rebooting.

4. Using DFS, READ all the same data sections that you use in the OP tutorial and screenshots by others, and take screenshots so you have a backup. You may have different keys on NAM1 and NAM2 for the PPP and HDR AN passwords. You'll also have to check the PW box for each of those to get the hexadecimal values. DON'T CLOSE DFS!

5. Disconnect the donor phone and turn it off.

6. Power up your ReZound (or other phone), connect to it with DFS.

7.You should already have the data needing to be written showing in DFS. WRITE these sections as noted in the OP, making sure to make any necessary changes for NAM2.

8.Reboot your phone. If all goes like mine did, you now have 3G data. Enjoy!
[HTC Rezound] Schwinn555:
I've read and tried pretty much everything in this 21 page guide over a week or more. At one point I had voice and 1x r data ( or what ever it's called). I wanted everything to work so continued on, losing what I'd had, never to find it again. I finally had to give up before I went mad ;) . I hired Viper(who's around a number of sites(Kitty Wireless & Howard's) to flash it for me. He was quick and other then a nagging "this phone won't work without a sim card" message it works perfect. Messages, Voice and 3G data. The fix for the nag message is installing a previously activated sim card from a GSM company such as Tmobile or AT&T etc. I was told not to use the Verizon LTE G4 sim card. Nice thing about Viper...he told me the Rezound was no problem to flash to Page Plus. Several others wanted me to either buy a different phone or told me right out it was too much trouble.

One thing that stands out in the original directions is the casual mention of not having a sim card. No where do I see any mention of "remove the Verizon G4 sim card or it won't work". Seems to be a key to having a correct flash/hack of the phone. Some people do mention having a GSM sim card installed which may or may not be fine during the flashing. As mention above it's needed to get rid of the nag message after the flash.

I'd be interested in seeing if this seem correct to people or maybe some people have done it with the Verizon card in the phone and it worked? Anything seems possible. Just thought I'd explain my results. Might as well continue the mystery of how anyone uses this 21 page guide and succeeds ;)

I hope this tip helps someone in the future.

The clone info/donor phone trick has a down side. If you want to switch back to the phone you took the info from it may not work (or so I'm told). It seems two phones can't have the exact same info.

Best of luck, loving the Rezound on Page Plus.

PS The Sim card fix doesn't work for the nag message, finally got a sim card to try today. If I find a fix I'll post it.
[HTC Rezound] El Schisne:
I second Schwinn555's comments about Viper (who it seems goes by Viper32 on xda). I'd gotten voice and SMS working but finally threw up my hands after hours of unavailingly wrangling for data. Viper was quick to respond, offered a reasonable price, and got my 3G up and running in no time flat. MMS is still flaky, but that seems to be a problem with my specific phone, possibly caused by the fact that I used a foreign SIM in the phone shortly before flashing to P+. He duplicated the exact same thing he'd done with my phone on another Rezound he had, and that one's MMS worked perfectly--so I'd say this is a gotcha only if you've used your Rezound internationally before.

I've also gone SIMless. I find the lockscreen amusing more than anything--see attachment. "A SIM card is needed to operate this phone... oh yeah, also, you have full signal and 3G."

The only thing is that I tried to switch to CM 11 tonight and ended up with no signal at all. (I did, however, note with interest that the hidden menu had already been set to "CDMA auto (PRL).") It actually gave me quite a scare because I still didn't have signal the first time I booted up after restoring my nandroid. But after another reboot, it's fine now. Guess I'll be using the stock ROM for the long haul.
[HTC Rezound] El Schisne:
Just documenting a couple things for people who might read this in the future.

1. To get any radio functions (voice, SMS, data) to work on AOSP ROMs intended for Verizon users, one must first tell the system to look in NVRAM rather than on the SIM card (CSIM/RUIM) for how to connect to the CDMA network. There are two ways I know of (1, 2) to change this setting. If you have a good ROM installed (I personally use CM11 build 3/1), voice, SMS, and data will all magically start working upon reboot after employing one of those methods.

2. I finally got MMS working by, oddly enough, putting my old Verizon SIM card back in. Apparently, my phone is still looking to the SIM for some kind of information it needs to send or download MMS. All other phone functions remained intact when I did that because the above setting is still on "NV."

Disclaimer on #2: I don't know what would happen if I were to switch back "RUIM" from "NV" in the setting mentioned in #1. I think there's a possibility that some NV values would get overwritten, and my phone would no longer be effectively flashed to Page Plus. I just don't want to find out. As such, I would also be cautious of putting a Verizon SIM in if using a Sense ROM. Note that I haven't tried a non-Verizon SIM card; that might possibly make a difference too.
[HTC Rezound] ShawnSnyder1991:
stock rom flash

Just for clarification, I'm going to buy an HTC Rezound on tuesday.

if i flash to PagePlus, and then flash a custom rom, will i lose flash?
[HTC Rezound] El Schisne:
You shouldn't. The only thing that would overwrite your NVRAM settings might be upgrading/downgrading the firmware or possibly doing a factory reset from within the bootloader (not recovery). Note that you do need to tell any custom ROM you use that it needs to look at the NV to connect to the network; initially you'll have no signal on a custom ROM because it'll be looking for a SIM card.

As stated in my previous post, I'm running the 3/1 build of CM11.
[HTC Rezound] ShawnSnyder1991:
so.. flash, s off, unlock bootloader, root, install recovery, flash rom?
[HTC Rezound] El Schisne:
Unlock bootloader, install recovery, root, S-OFF (optional), flash, test that your flash is working in Sense, flash ROM (and kernel separately if you didn't S-OFF).
[HTC Rezound] ShawnSnyder1991:
thank you. you are a gentleman and a scholar.
[HTC Rezound] BlastGT1:
This isn't true in my case, unfortunately. Every time I flash a new ROM, it wipes out the NAM1 settings, although NAM2 seems to be untouched. Reboots or otherwise, I can't get phone service of any kind back without programming the NAM1 values again, and I can only do this on stock ROMs, because the necessary files to enable diag mode are not there in AOSP and other non-Sense ROMs.

The way I did it, I didn't actually have to write a different ESN to either phone, and I have been able to bounce back and forth between them once or twice, when I had to.
[HTC Rezound] AtomicFizzle:
Anyone with 3G working on Page Plus have screenshots of the 9K interface stuff in DFS? I've messed with it for a while but still no data... I've gotten the data switch to turn on, but it doesn't show 3G up in the status bar and I am definitely not fully connected. I've rebooted, tried with and without the SIM card in.. no go.
[HTC Rezound] AtomicFizzle:
Haha.. I don't know what the F I did, but now 3G is working! I guess i better take my own screenshots...:victory:
[HTC Rezound] HappyBrownie:
If you can please post them???? Ive been fighting with this phone for a long time(9 months) trying to figure out how to get the 3g to kick on. Im to the point where i believe the issue is that my sim card that was never activated before. so yea, if you got dfs shots please share them......
[HTC Rezound] AsianCajun:
Yes, that's correct. I tried simple IP and 255.255.0.0, but that still gave me 1x. Once I switched, 3G showed up.
[HTC Rezound] snpiee:
AsianCajun, would you please post your NAM,DATA, and MobileIP pages for NAM1 and NAM2?

Thank you,

[HTC Rezound] AsianCajun:
You can find my screen shots in post #18. All values are the same for both ports and both NAM's.

[HTC Rezound] snpiee:
AsianCajun, what do you have for 'AAA Shared Secret' and 'HA Shared Secret' ?
[HTC Rezound] AsianCajun:
Secret? That must be something different in your version of DFS. The numbers I have are 2 and 300 respectively.

Hope that helps.

I just realized that my apn reverted back to default verizon apn. (I checked that in Setting>Mobile Network>CDMA Options>Access Point Names)

So I tried 'restoring' the pageplus.apn using APN Backup&Restore but it never get overwritten - always stays as default verizon apn.....

Is there a manual way to replace the APN file? Does anyone know where it is located?

Thanks!

p.s. The APN in Setting>Mobile Network>CDMA Options>Access Point Names, has a padlock icon on it (locked) ???

One thing I found out is that I don't have mms. I'm going to change a few settings to see if that gets it going.

You need to run APN backup and restore as a system app using titanium backup. This is an ICS issue.
[HTC Rezound] snpiee:
That is precisely what I am trying to do. I used titanium backup (full version) to convert apn backup and restore to system app with no problem, then followed your instructions to the t. It backs up the original apn file no problem then when I try to restore the pageplus apn file it says that it successfully restored it but actually it doesn't even touch it, because when I go to settings nothing changed.

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

Does not work. If I type all of this into NEW apn and click SAVE it disappears (just goes back to original apn menu list).

Let me ask you guys 2 questions please:

1) What do you have here: "Setting>Mobile Network>CDMA Options>Access Point Names"

2) When you click "Delete APNs" button in APN Backup & Resotore and then go to "Setting>Mobile Network>CDMA Options>Access Point Names" what do you see? Is the list empty?

Thank you!
[HTC Rezound] AsianCajun:
I'm running a rooted, stock ICS 4.0.3. I go to: Setting>Mobile Network>Access Point Names. From there, I entered all the info manually and saved. I didn't use APN Backup and Restore.

If it makes you feel better, I'm having the same problem with my wife's LG Lucid. APN BnR doesn't work and the info doesn't stick when I save.

[HTC Rezound] Wileyworld:
My phone shows no change after 'delete apns' when I go back to verify deletion. Also, after trying to manually enter parameters as listed in a prior post above, the default apn mysteriously put up that lock symbol too. So I seem to be able to create a new apn from menu, but am always blocked from using it anyway- it doesnt even list it at all.

BTW I have not gone to ics yet while I try to get the 3g up and running, so am stock unlocked 2.3.4

Got phone and 1x operating, but not having full success yet with the data...after multiple tries. I'd hoped the apn editing would dial me in, but foiled again... drat

My screen looks identical to yours. Everything is greyed. Where I am able to edit is in the APN settings.
