Oh and also, I hope I am conveying my message correctly.

-I WELCOME helping, it's good. So if you have the time for helping or hand holding, that's perfectly FINE.

I am always on my mobile and on the run, so I only reply in tidbits, here and there. In my normal everyday busy life, I don't have the time to walk step by step.

Hope that clears up the air.

Last link needed for you to flash Sprint GN2 to Boost

hey shadwick, I see he pointed you somewhere, look me up and start looking at my thread.

I am rebuilding it and I promise to give all answers there.

Can I get Boost 4G on Galaxy Note 2?

I have an Epic 4G on Boost Mobile that I did myself. The steps are the same as the Epic to get my Boost Mobile service working on my Galaxy Note 2, so I'm sure I can do that with no problem. Now my main concern is trying to get 4G on the Galaxy Note 2. I've searched for threads on that matter but couldn't really find any. I did find a few people discussing the issue in some youtube video comments though. I've seen comments stating that it won't work because Boost uses 4G Wimax, and doesn't have 4G LTE.. The Galaxy Note 2 uses 4G LTE. Can anyone verify that??

I know I'd have to get a 4G Boost Mobile phone in order to get a Boost 4G Wimax address..

Qusetion:

Can I get 4G on a Galaxy Note 2 on Boost Mobile, Period?

Thanks in advance...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mexiking713:
You cant. The note 2 has 4g lte. Its just not possible.

I thought so, but was hoping that wasn't the case.. Thanks Bro.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lilcza1:
With the right donor, LTE does infact work on the Note 2. You can talk and surf. Bur sprint is only allowing it as 3G passthru at this time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gotonull:
But there are no LTE donors...only wimax donors on Boost for now
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] trim81:
Lte is verified only by meid number correct.?

No keys.. Or mac?

I think I read somewhere that boost is getting a bunch of 4g lte towers from tmo or someone else not sure who tho its been a few days since I read the article tho
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iwin2000:
As far as I know the only "4G" that Boost Mobile currently supports is WiMax, and that will only work on the $55/mo unlimited Android plan which shrinks down to only $40. I have heard nothing about Boost supporting LTE. Would be nice if someone could list some sources or give evidence otherwise.

4G ON GALAXY NOTE pOSSIBLE?

I do not have a donor to test it on; but you simply would need Android emulator and the MAC ID of a working 4G phone from boost.

If my security skills are correct, the 3 AAA keys given are tied to a 3DES/SHA hash with salt. So if you want to be the 1st to test and you need some help, please visit me at:

Because I am game to try this and I know it would substantially help the cause. Also rumor has it you can link your imei to a tmobile account and it can be dual band and working on both sprint and tmobile. However its just a rumor; but I am always willing to try and find out. The plan would be get a data only package via tmobile and have blazing speeds and cheap service. However spending all that money to Tmobile and boost would defeat the whole purpose of the flash due to over-spending on both accounts.

Therefore it would only benefit us for knowledge only.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gotonull:
All claims of spoon feeding aside, I've been working on this for a week and I still can't get data working on my note 2 again. I even got an s3 up and running in about 10 minutes and yet the note 2 will not come back to 3g because its hands free sprintsyncmlsvc is broken in some way. PRL updates when I first switch handset but profile update never works. How do you people get authentication to work without profile update? How did I manage to get authentication to work for a week and then never again? CDMA mode, LTE mode, doesn't seem to make any difference. This phone is kinda crazy.

Edit: I have tried both rant and incognito donors and it doesn't seem to make any difference. They both work on s3 instantly and always error out on note 2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] shadricksimms:
Something was done wrong then.i used the dfs cdma tool and flashed the note 2 with everything working
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iwin2000:
Two things that are important with the data. First of all you need to make sure the active profile is set to 1 and not 0. Make sure this is done in QPST because for some reason, from my personal experience when I used DFS it would not change the active profile and left it at 0 (maybe a mistake on my part, not sure). Keep in mind that the PROFILE 1 should be your boost mobile profile, not the sprint one.

Secondly, make sure you go into the PROGRAMMING -> DATA tab in DFS and write the following info:

If that doesn't work then do an "UPDATE DATA PROFILE" on your Sanyo Incognito and re-check it and see if any of the info changed, and see if everything matches your info on the Note 2.

If all else fails, connect your note 2 side by side with the incognito, open two instances of DFS side by side for each phone and make sure that all of the information matches exactly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MuDDuQ:
I been playing with this phone for about a week and I cant get it to OTA activate but it is totally programmable just like the original epic using QPST just read your incognito in QPST and save the file then read your Note and open the incognito file in a new window offline and copy all the info from CDMA,CDMA2,AMPS, and MIP in the MIP section you will need to put in the AAA and HA keys for both profiles go see this thread for more detailed instructions http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=891077 after you do get it going you will have to go to system/apps and rename the file sprintSyncMLSvc.apk to sprintSyncMLSvc.ap with root explorer and it will stop it from trying to avtivate after you restart again using this guide it will not OTA activate or at least it wont for me

If you want to fix your broken OTA to work again you will need to rename the file sprintSyncMLSvc.ap back to sprintSyncMLSvc.apk but it will continue to nag you again

If anyone has a way to get the note to OTA activate im all ears
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gotonull:
When I do this, I get a 4G icon for about four or five minutes, it updates PRL, receives two text messages saying congrats my new handset has been activated, the 3g icon disappears and then no data. In the past this is the point where i would go set it to CDMA mode and get a bunch of error 67s. I will be patient, keep it in this mode, and see if data starts working in an hour or two or six, but I doubt it, as the galaxy s3 works immediately using the same tower.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gotonull:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gotonull:
Much love to trim81, MuDDuQ, iwin2000, alpineman, hawaiideveloper and everyone else who contributed!

I finally did it using DFS 4.0.2.0! Actually had to MATCH EVERYTHING PRETTY DAMN IDENTICALLY.

Changed the SPC even though this totally isn't necessary and I just changed it back to default!

Summary of what works for my setup:

CDMA only mode set in phone menus

In Data tab of DFS

RevA_MFPA

EVDO_Rev0

Set hybrid to enable but it always clears

Check everything in the Data config column

Uncheck everything in the EVDO SCP option column

uncheck active config

ONLY PASSWORD NEEDED IS HDR AN LONG

Uncheck Authentification require password encryption

In mobile IP tab set number of profiles to 2 with active prof 1 and fill as instructed

I think the profile 1 AAA key MIGHT have changed. I also entered both HA's in plaintext as 'secret' but that shouldn't matter.

Seems some combod of the above and Unchecking password authentication, removed the samsung PAP, removed HDR AN, refilled HDR AN LONG fixed it.

Do not despair it is doable. My week of hell is over. This is the greatest forum on the internet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MuDDuQ:
After configuring it like that did it OTA activate or you had to rename the file to stop the activation nag?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gotonull:
Still actually have it nagging me, haven't rooted this go around in order to rename. But yeah, no OTA activation completion on the note II YET. Maybe in a future build of the new sprintsyncmlsvc.apk
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iwin2000:
not sure what world you live on but these are pretty good 3G speeds. you must have misread the screenshot. the max speeds you can get from 3G on Sprint is 3.1 Mbps which is equivalent to 396.8 KBps.

I was getting 251.3 kBps, which is about 63% of the max speed.

It's not LTE speeds but it's enough to cover my needs. and I also can't complain since I'm paying $35/month for unlimited everything.

maybe if you lived right next to a tower you would be getting 3.1 Mbps speeds, but I wouldn't want to do that even if I could because I'm scared of the radiation :p

Hi guys about to buy a Note II but i need to stay on Sprint due to old sero plan. Currently using a repaired Sprint GS3 with a old Sprint TP2 donor. I originally used qpst and cdma workshop and then on a second GS3 used DFS.

error 16 related

g0t msl, using connectbot from the market, did it before rooting. [run as local, getprop ril.MSL click enter then you might receive a blank. if you do, go back to home screen dial ##3282#, then edit, input a wrong msl code (000000), long press the home key go back to connectbot run the same command and you should get your msl code]. tried to repair without rooting but that springsync app keeps running.

also for error 16 reps. some might ask you for the month and year of activation, just call boost and ask them when your account was activated.

good thread. place is starting to sound like mo-fi before the purge
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MuDDuQ:
My advice is do the note with (OXDM esn change) and QPST where you open the saved file and match up the CDMA CDMA2 AMPS mip tabs and enter the HA and AAA keys into the MIP profiles for sprint and boost and if you do this you will save yourself alot of threads saying I cant get my 3g to work right

It sounds like you have done it this way in the past its exactly like the epic and all the other phones we did before the GS3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cardsandchips:
You may no longer activate flashed phones via the Sprint Zone.

They took that easy activation process away for us flashers over a month ago.

The S3 will hands free activate on it own but the Note 2 will not.

I do everything on CDMA v3.8......no problems and everything works.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ugabuga:
Thx for the tutorial - yes it is basically the original method i did with the Epic 4g and the GS3 prior to using DFS. Out of curiousity, has anyone tested using DFS once you have all the donor information ready?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MuDDuQ:
I have done it with DFS but I did the tutorial with QPST because I felt it was easier for people to do it the way they were used to from the past and it works if you want to use DFS you should be able to get it to work but you will not get the phone to hands free activate either way and will need to rename the sprint file to stop the activation nag
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ugabuga:
Ok thanks for the information. So instead of hands free activation I am thinking it may require a call to Sprint to have them do a advanced reprovision/reset of the account over the air.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gotonull:
Only call SPRINT if it's a SERO account. You never need to call boost mobile ever. I haven't called boost mobile in over four years through about seven phones. Use boost mobile's website to swap handsets. Get yourself a couple donors, or a donor and an innuendo or buy a clean meid from a crushed phone on ebay for $5 or something, but there should be no reason to ever call boost. I haven't even gotten any error codes in the last few weeks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ugabuga:
Yep I'm on a Sero plan so this is probably the way to do it... phone should be here in few days so looking forward to doing this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AlpineMan:
Finally succumbed to temptation and got a Note 2. Out of curiosity, what's the purpose of CDMA, CDMA2, and AMPS? I never touched those tabs in the past when using QPST.

Since this is the first Note 2 I'm doing, I'd like to backup my NVITEM 1192 just in case. EFS Explorer in QPST 2.7 build 378 doesn't seem to work with it... well not with LJC baseband atleast. I haven't tried downgrading the modem to LJ1. Hoping this is similar in behavior with the newer modems on the GS3, where downgrading its modem will allow you to use EFS Explorer to backup your Nvitems.

I don't believe a call to Sprint will be necessary either... unless you run into Error 16. But there's a work around for that too without calling Sprint.

*** UPDATE 1 ***

1) Downgraded modem to LJ1. EFS Explorer is still a no go! I wonder what will happen if I put an old GS3 modem in the Note 2? :D

2) You do not need root access on the Note 2 to run the "Get My MSL" app.

3) Installed the latest TWRP via GooManager. Backed up the phone via TWRP. I noticed "EFS" as one of the line items that can be backed up. I wonder if this is the same EFS that is accessed through EFS Explorer. If so, then no need to backup NV Items via EFS Explorer. Unfortunately though, TWRP doesn't allow you to select individual objects in EFS. You backup/restore the whole thing.

*** UPDATE 2 ***

Got my NV Item 1192 backed up using DFS 4.0.2:

1) Click on EFS tab.

2) Click on Read EFS2.

3) Expand the folder tree.

4) Look for "nvm" and expand that branch.

5) Right click on "num" and choose "Save as..."

6) Choose a folder on your PC to save it to.

7) Once saved, go to that folder and look for 1192 to verify it.

8) Use a hex editor/viewer such as "HxD Hex Editor" to view it.

9) Done.

Thats some good info I was having issues getting the 1192 and the 466 never thought to go to the EFS section of dfs
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ugabuga:
Just got the Note II so started tinkering. I copied all data using DFS from the GS3 and entered it again using DFS for the Note II. Now the ota activation does not work for the Note II so not sure how to activate. Currently I do see the 3G symbol but since it is not activated voice and data are not working.

Tomorrow I will do a sprint chat and have them do a advanced reprovision on the account which hopefully will take care of the Activation.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cardsandchips:
Nice tutorial!

We all do things differently.

You do not need to root the note2 to get your MSL.

Simply download connectbot from the market.

Install it and agree to all the terms.

Back out of it.

Dial ##3282# and enter any 6 digit number. The phone will say invalid unlock code.

Go back to connectbot and Select local and put in anything for the username.

Enter getprop ril.MSL/enter and it will display your unlock code.

I flash all of my NOTE 2 phones using only CDMA 3.8 in about 15 minutes.

Like I said there is more than one way to skin an Android!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MuDDuQ:
You can also use get my msl without rooting using the same process mentioned above

Its quite a task to write a tutorial and I agree there is more than one way to do it the main reason this tutorial was written this way is because it was taken from all the tuts that were out there previously so you can call it a cut and past tutorial. Im sure that everyone would appreciate a new tutorial if you want to write one using your method. I was going to write one using DFS but havent gotten around to it

Galaxy Note 2 working on SERO.

Successfully programmed a Sprint Galaxy Note 2 on SERO following my own original steps for the Sprint Galaxy S3 using DFS 4.0.2. I followed my exact steps as described in the Galaxy S3 thread...and guess what...it worked. Even my *2 (launches Sprint Zone app) method to activate the phone via WiFi also worked. I didn't do anything special on it whatsoever.

I will create a new thread on this method not wanting to hijack this one.

Alpine

Very interesting you got over the air activation working, especially on sprint zone wifi app..

I never tried, only tried on boost mobile, so maybe it's a sprint thing, and will not ota for boost..

I never got a note 2 to ota activate, always had to manual activate it.

Question

1) was your note 2 a used phone and had been activated before? Perhaps it already took some special code into programming to allow over the air..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AlpineMan:
Yes. Used phone previously activated. I wiped it clean before doing anything on it by loading a stock rooted LJC ROM via ODIN. This ROM automatically wiped the phone clean.

As always, Alpine, very much appreciate your help... I learned most of the DFS method and sprint zone method from you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MuDDuQ:
While I was able to get it to activat in sprint zone *2 its wierd for me if I use my stock rooted rom that I have been running for the last few weeks I can write all 0000000000 to the mdn and msid using ##msl# it reboots and after it is done I stop the OTA activation turn on WIFI and go to *2 at the top it says your device is not activated so I click on activate it goes through the motions and says your device is activated and reboots after a reboot it still gives the activation nag but it does rewrite the MDN and MSID like it should

Now if I do a factory reset ##786# and follow alpinmans tutorial it will not activate at all it says contact your provider. I cant seem to figure out what the differance between my stock rom and a factory reset rom mabey the rooting but I havent tested it yet and frankly im burnt out on reflashing this phone but I will get back to testing a few things soon to try to figure out what the differance is and get a good working boost alternative that includes some form of consistent activation I hope

As did I if it wernt for alpineman and the GS3 I would probably not know what DFS was im old school been using the QPST QXDM methods for years now im using DFS for practically the entire flash and read from the incognito
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MuDDuQ:
your phone will try to hands free activate but it wont work just cancel it and install root explorer ( I think you have to have the paid for version) from the market go to system/app click on Mount/RW it will change to Mount R/O find the file SprintSyncMSL.apk rename it to SprintSyncMSL.bac reboot the phone the activation nag will stop

For PRL you will need to install it manually Use DFS send you SPC and the samsung default password (01F2030F5F678FF9) go to the programming Tab thn the NAM sub tab over on the right under PRL select load and find the file that I added to this post make sure you have unzipped it first then click on write that will write the latest boost prl to your phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] trim81:
Got a fresh, never before activated sprint clean esn note 2 today.

No matter what I did, it WILL NOT hands free activatem

Ended up using the manual qpst method to get 3g working..

It was on LJ1 modem (not exactly sure what it was, but for sure it was the first version, before ljc)

My personal guess is... It needs to once be activated with spirit to download the correct values (somewhere) into the nam values.

Also, what was strange was, the phone kept giving me 'No roaming list found' in qpst..

I ended up rewriting the prl to a different sprint prl. Only then did qpst read the phone.

---by the way, this activation was done for a legacy sprint account, not boost.

So yeah - no hands free for me again on this phone.

Whatever, as long as I got it working I'm not stressing kn hands free activate
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MuDDuQ:
I tend to agree with your hypothesis because my phone would not activate at all untill I restored an image from a good working phone that had no activation nags and was abel to do update profile and prl update on its own but after adding that image my phone now updates everything

That's nice if you do them everyday for a living. Some of us however think that $100 for CDMAWS is a bit too much of a price to pay when you only need to use it perhaps once or twice a year. That's why some of us opt for DFS that you can get for free.
