The Hopeful solution.

Okay, I don't think the sim card would be that much of a problem, but if the problem persists after trying the next steps then you can get a new one off ebay for 5 dollars like I did. In any case, you did choose the correct port in DFS tools. You brought up a very good point that I forgot to mention. You do need to load a pageplus prl. The one I used during the process was the 51720 EVDO prl. Once you find that one "google will be a great help", open up DFS tools and then make sure after you load up the program and select the port you enter the SPC 000000, its on the top right corner of DFS I believe ( I used Cdma ws). After that overwrite the PRL using the program and then make sure you set nvonly on nam 1 and nam 2 and set evda a. If you keep on getting errors with DFS tool let me know. In this case we might have to figure something else. In any case if you are successful, then once you trestart the phone you should if you hadn't already, bypass the activation or welcome screen, if you don't know how to do that let me know but if you are already on the regular screen with the apps and everything then proceed to the dialer and press ##program and follow the rest of snoops guide and you should be fine.

Honestly, the hardest part of this whole process is the programming on PC. After that you should be fine. As far as windows 7 is concerned, I used windows 7 and I was fine.

Enter the Phone in BPtools

Connect to PC

Go to system settings and make sure you got the diag port com #

Open DFS

Select the com # and read

Send SPC 000000

Load PRL 51720EVDO

Write it to the phone

Change nam 1 and nam 2 to NVONLY instead of RUIM

change data to EVDO REV A.

make sure all settings are written and restart phone

If you are at the welcome screen bypass it (four corners unlock) if the phone is at the regular menu with the apps then go straight to dailer and ##PROGRAM

Change MDN and MIN

enter test mode and click next until you see the options to change the phone network to CDMA only

click back twice and the phone should restart

at this point you should have somewhat some type of service but then press *228

It might reject it the first time but try again and the activation screen will come up and the music will play and activate your phone

After that look above to figure out 3G

If you still have trouble PM me and we'll see what we can do.
[Motorola Droid 4] jeanr464:
Forgot mention

Forgot to mention one thing, after you program the phone on DFS tool you should switch the esn from PP from your other phone. Your MEID is the IMEI without the last digit so you should have 14 characters in total. Once you switch the esn or set a new activation from PP then proceed to the step with the ##program etc.

Jean I think I followed all the instructions on here but it still says fail to connect NAM after I put in the MIN and MDN so I can never I finish programing my droid 4 to Page plus. Can you please help me.
[Motorola Droid 4] jeanr464:
Warning Droid 4 JellyBean Upgrade + Pageplus Users

Just a fair warning to everyone using Pageplus. As you all the Jellybean update has been released and your phone might've already offered to upgrade your OS.

DO NOT UPDATE!!!!! I REPEAT DO NOT UPDATE!!!!

Although JellyBean is very beautiful, this update will break your Page plus configuration. I had two friends already who were on Droid Razr/Maxx and updated to JellyBean. The whole CDMA WS config has been reset so options like NV_ONLY and evdo config has been erased leaving the phone in a non working state- In terms of calling, texting or data.

I'm very tempted to get JellyBean and everyone is looking for a safe solution to upgrade to JellyBean and have PP. As far as I've seen online, there have been successful tutorials but it required re-flashing the system to a factory state and re-configuring and other had it where you need a new sim and was necessary to root the phone. I'll be experimenting and posting my results soon. If anyone comes up with a success, please share!!!:laugh:

Good Luck and be pre-cautious!,

Working Perfect

I have my Droid 4 JB flashed working with full 3G on Pageplus never activated SIM and no problems. Same way as with the RAZR/RAZR MAXX. You can use any sim and not have any problems.
[Motorola Droid 4] jeanr464:
What was your situation?

How did you do it? I performed a straight upgrade and my config screwed up. Did you just reflash it and reconfigured it? Can I apply the same CDMA workshop method to this firmware?
[Motorola Droid 4] drossvirex:
Getting 3G to stick

Hey. Thanks for the tutorial on how to get 3G working. I haven't gotten it to work for some reason. I'm running ICS and I have 1X working. My girlfriend has the same phone and I did the same thing, but for whatever reason, not even 1X will work on hers. I did your settings in the ##program menu. The LTE and test settings. I'm not having luck getting 3G to stick.

It also seems that I cannot always get data to work by toggling wifi off. I have to not be around it or turn off my router. Getting 1X to work seems to sometimes be random. If I get 1x working and then If I go into the ##program menu now and turn EDVO only, 3G will come up for about 5 seconds and then disappear. After many restarts and trying things, 1X is all I can get. I wonder if it has something to do with where I am? Great Falls, Montana.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
[Motorola Droid 4] jeanr464:
Try this.

Okay, I'm actually stumped about your situation.. Seems very awkward. In any case let's see what we can do. "Hopefully your on ICS and not JellyBean"

I'm going to post my phone settings and try to match her settings to mine. You said you already did the LTE bbpanic off , apns disable, and test settings...

Okay Go to test settings in the program menu, click next until you see the Field test screen and make sure your phone matches these settings:

Service Option - EVRC

HDR Hybrid Mode - ON

EVDO Revision- A

Network Mode- CDMA and EVDO

CDMA RX Diversity- OFF

HDR RX Diversity- OFF

then hit the back button on your phone twice so it can restart.

If 3G still doesn't work then we need to CDMA WS your phone. It would seem the there is something wrong with the EVDO settings. To me it sounds like the EVDO protocol might be wrong.
[Motorola Droid 4] drossvirex:
I can confirm I am not on Jellybean. I didn't update it yet because I thought it might break it. Also all of those settings match on both of our phones.
[Motorola Droid 4] jeanr464:
Lets Go Through Your Settings

Okay. So... I think it might have to be with the configuration of the phone. I believe it could be:

1. The PRL

or

2. EVDO settings

So we're going to have to CDMA WS or DFS your phone and check the settings. (Recommend DFS since everything is available.)

www.cdma-ware.com or http://www.cdmatool.com/

Put your phone in Bptools mode - (Turn off, press volume +/- buttons and press power, scroll to bptools, press volume up)

Connect it to the computer

Go to device manager and find out what COM port it's on.

Open DFS and select the ports on the top left, double click on the port of your phone (A green circle should appear next to it after your click) then exit out of the port selection screen.

Then on the top left of the screen under Ports you should see SPC. Click on it to unlock the SPC of your phone.

Now click on the Programming tab. Once you click the Programming Tab, Click on the NAM tab under ( It's between general and Data).

Now there should be a section to the right that says PRL. on the bottom click READ and then tell me what PRL number shows up. (The number is located in the box on top of the Read button).

Afterwards, click on the Data tab ( It's next to the NAM tab you clicked earlier)

On the bottom there should be a READ button. Click that button.

Now Tell me in your next post if the PPP config to the left has your phone number @dun.vzw3g.com and post all your the MODE settings

Ex:

SIP NAI= (Your Phone) @dun.vzw3g.com

UID=(Your Phone)@vzw3g.com

MODE:

HDR SCP force AT config: =

HDR SCP force release 0 config=

Hybrid preferred mode:

Data MDR (HSPD) mode:

Data service option:

I'll Post screenshots of my phone config so you can compare. Before you change anything POST what your phone settings display.

Hope we can solve this,

Droid 4 SBF Files Released

I'll post a tutorial on how to upgrade the droid 4 to JellyBean and have a working Pageplus config. The Fastboot JellyBean files for the D4 are released so now it will be no problem to recover the phone if there are complications on the way.

Credit Goes to snoop1979 on howardforums with his method on getting the Droid RAZR/MAXX to work with Pageplus on JellyBean. The same steps can apply to the droid 4. The only difference is the SBF file you use on the Droid 4. The one on his tutorial is ONLY for the Droid RAZR/MAXX. Using it on the Droid 4 will just instantly brick the phone. Below is a link to his amazing tutorial.

http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...ivation-TXT-MMS-3G-ROOT-TETHERING-on-PagePlus

The link below is the correct SBF file to use with RSD LITE for the DROID 4

Happy Flashing, and Good Luck,

[Motorola Droid 4] drossvirex:
So for whatever reason, I can't get past the Send SPC/programming tab, read PRL when connected in com port 3 as Motorola QC Diag port. It doesn't seem like it's actually connected. I connected to Com 6

as Motorola QC BP modem. This is the only way I can get anything to work.

In the NAM tab after clicking read under PRL, The PRL number is 52505

The Data tab account settings has my phone number@vzw3g.com for all of them. There is no dun.vzw3g.com

Ex:

SIP NAI= (Your Phone) @vzw3g.com

UID=(Your Phone)@vzw3g.com

MODE:

HDR SCP force AT config: = RevA_EHRPD

HDR SCP force release 0 config: EVDO_RevA

Hybrid preferred mode:Enable

Data MDR (HSPD) mode:SO33_Pref

Data service option:IS707

Also, here is where I originally found instruction to use QPST to do the CDMA stuff. It was said to work with the droid 4.

Well I can't post links I guess, but it's the howard forums and the subject is i-got-the-bionic-to-work-on-page-plus-with-solid-1x-data-and-3g-until-signal-drop

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 4] jeanr464:
I think I see your problem here!! Your HDR SCP force AT config is set for RevA_EHRPD. EHRPD is an LTE based setting. You need to change it so it says REVA_MFPA.

Once you set that option then reset your phone and 3g should start popping up. In terms of your PRL it's fine.
[Motorola Droid 4] drossvirex:
]

Ok I did this and still 1X. I even restarted again in BP Tools mode and did another read to confirm it's set to REVA_MFPA.

Above you posted about how to get everything to work with Jellybean. Should I try all that?
[Motorola Droid 4] jeanr464:
If you want to of course you can! I just got jellybean on my D4 and I confirm the above method works. As for 3G it automatically gets programmed if you follow the jellybean tutorial in the link I posted above. The only thing I did different from snoop's method was that I upgraded to jellybean using the software manager on the phone and I did the steps about the recovery factory reset and cache wipe BUT I didn't reflash the phone on RSD lite. I skipped that step and continued on with the tutorial and everything worked out just as he said it.

If you run into problem post here,

[Motorola Droid 4] tubaman101:
Hi jeanr464. Snoop's method for JB requires rooting your D4. Is there a way to get 3G to consistently work in JB without rooting?

What do you think is the best (safest) way to root the D4? And is there something you need to do in the rooting process to ensure that I will be able to get future OTA Android updates without problem? (I suspect this goes beyond the scope of this thread, but would be happy to know about a link to a reliable method of rooting the D4 in another thread or web site.)

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] jeanr464:
Good questions!

Well believe it or not, the rooting is not only for 3G consistancy but it's also to get the phone to activate on Pageplus with a breeze. The method requires the root because later on in the steps you will be using a app called build prop which you will utiltize to change the LTE on CDMA to 0, thus forcing the phone to do the *228 OTA Activation. This step is crucial because in JellyBean if you do *228 it will just cancel out of the dialer. The root allows you to edit a setting that makes the phone operate on CDMA only so then the *228 activation screen will automatically pop up to activate the phone. In snoop's method, what I realized when I did it was that I didn't even have to edit the EVDO settings on the phone or play around with all these settings like my tutorial did for ICS to get 3G. The activation fixed all of it and by the end of the tutorial I already had 3G.

To make this long explaination short, the root in this method is two-fold.

1. It allows you to use a app mentioned in the tutorial (Build prop editor) to fix your phone for activation.

2. This is optional but he also mentions how you can edit another setting to get tethering to work.

Now for the second part of your question, the safest method and the assurance for future OTA updates. The safest method and to my knowledge thus far the only way to root a droid 4 on JellyBean is using the razrblade exploit which is mentioned in snoop's tutorial. It actually is fast and very simple, it's to me, one of the easiest root methods. In the worst case scenario if your phone does happen to mess up in the root (Which is highly unlikely), because the jellybean recovery files for the D4 is released we can always recover your phone and try again. So in essence rooting for you is safe. As far as future OTA updates come, rooting doesn't affect receiving OTA updates unless you edit the update manager apk to block future OTA updates, but to answer your question, you will still be able to receive OTA updates even if your phone is rooted.

I hope I was able to answer your questions! If you anything post here if you have anymore questions! Good Luck!,

[Motorola Droid 4] tubaman101:
Thanks, jeanr464. This has all been very helpful. When it comes time for me to upgrade, I'll know what to do. But I'm going to hold off until they get some of the kinks worked out on the D4, particularly with the physical keyboard.
[Motorola Droid 4] PS4AndroidHacker:
This is possible, I had my D4 on Page Plus successfully several months ago and since let the plan just run out and havent used it in a while. As far as the JB I'm not sure but you can send it to Beigephone in Dallas,TX and they can do all the flashing for you for a small fee and have it working on page plus or you can attempt to do it yourself.
[Motorola Droid 4] lowridincrew,:
any way to go to ics then update or flash roms without wiping the pageplus stuff
[Motorola Droid 4] PS4AndroidHacker:
Not quite sure about that, I would do some more research on THAT topic but I know that D4 can be run on PagePlus Cellular. I updated my phone to ICS then sent it to Beigephone in Dallas,TX and they did all the flashing for me as well as installing my Verizon sim card for a small fee. Call beigephone and ask the question possibly, they may be able to answer your question.

Droid 4 running Jelly Bean 4.1.2

Can I use these settings to set up my Droid 4 running Jelly Bean 4.1.2? I am not getting the desired results after following your directions.
[Motorola Droid 4] limited_imagination:
Just a head's up, I am running JB on my Droid 4, and decided to switch to PagePlus a few days ago.

If you want to do that, too, then do NOT follow the snoop1979 instructions from that long Howard Forums thread, linked by Jeanr464 in post #3 of this thread, that will effectively lock the D4 on to 3G.

I followed that snoop1979 tutorial, and although it initially looked like everything was working according to plan, and the D4 popped up with the Activation app on final boot, it could not Activate on the PagePlus network. It kept auto-dialing a Verizon number for activation, and no surprise, the Verizon recorded voice had no record of my PagePlus account for activation. Complete dead end.

I reversed all the changes in the snoop1979 tutorial, and tried the PP sim card again, and it Activated immediately over the air. No app required, since the sim card had already been activated by the PagePlus tech support via my previous phone call to them.

Success.

So the current sim cards supplied by PagePlus work in the Droid 4 right out of the box.

This thread should probably be closed.
[Motorola Droid 4] jeanr464:
Directions are OBSOLETE

This thread I created a while ago was when Page plus did not offer 4G. As of now, this thread is obsolete!!! Pageplus now offers 4G and will activate right out of the box if you have a 4G sim!
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
I suggest that you edit op, to explain that, so that others searching don't make unnecessary changes.
[Motorola Droid 4] limited_imagination:
A couple of interesting notes from my (unnecessary) experience.

I activated the phone on PagePlus while roaming in Canada, after previously running the D4 on a T-Mobile GSM sim card while roaming in Canada.

The D4 works fine in Canada with the T-Mobile sim card, but immediately disconnects as soon as I cross the border into the USA. So that's a hassle, hence my switch to PagePlus.

Swapping between GSM sim cards while roaming in any country outside the USA is a piece of cake, and the phone will accept them with no issues, and no need for factory reset.

But if you want to run a CDMA sim card in the D4 (ie. you want to run the phone in the USA, since no GSM sim card will work in the USA), then there are issues.

I had to do a factory reset of the phone, before the PagePlus sim card would connect to the network. And even then, it took a few minutes before it connected... long enough that I actually tried to call PP support, but by the time they answered, the phone had connected to a network (roaming), and the issue was moot.

Presumably that network is Bell Canada, which I believe is the only CDMA network in Canada, but the D4 only says "roaming" with the PP card in it here, so I can't confirm specifically which network. By contrast, with the GSM sim card (T-Mobile), it identifies the Canadian network that it's roaming on.

If I put the T-Mobile GSM sim card back into the D4, it immediately connects without difficulty. But if I then swap back to the PP sim card, the D4 refuses to connect. At that point, I have to do a factory reset, and wipe everything, before the PP sim card will connect again.

This is a PITA, but not the end of the world. I don't even lose root, although I have to re-load SQLite Editor to enable the Motorola wifi hotspot again.

If anyone like the Shadow knows specifically which setting can be edited to permit the phone to swap sim cards, from GSM to CDMA and back again, without a full factory reset, then I would be all ears.

Also, if anyone can recommend a better pre-paid CDMA provider in the USA than PagePlus or Verizon, then I would also like to hear about it.

One thing to do is make sure location reporting or check-in services, whatever it's called in maps settings is turned off. Or go to latitude and make sure everything is turned off, but even still when on wifi especially if you have GPS turned on Google Maps reports location data way way too much. Usually when I'm on Wifi on my note I'm at home so I will leave GPS turned off and battery life is much better.

i was have the 5.0.2.6 and i flashed the (ext4 formater)

and when i boot to recovery it says error (because the 5.0.2.6 doesn't support ext4+rfs files)

so i installed the 5.0.2.7 (support the ext4+rfs files)

so when i boot to recovery it doesn't says error and when i wipe chace and dalvik chace it doesn't say error.

Is anyone having issues with the Google Now notifications? On my last phone, I would get notifications for flights, and games on days my teams are playing.

one the HOX+ I have everything configured the same way, but I don't get the notifications. I only see the info if I launch google now/search.
[HTC One X+] ihavoc:
Did you try rebooting the phone. I posted an issue I have seen that location services does not seem to activate properly all the time if you turn it off and on. If you reboot the phone it should ask to accept Google location services immediately click accept and it should work.
[HTC One X+] iggdawg:
Were you previously on ICS? On JB certain notifications "hide" till you pull down the notification bar. Things like weather and traffic typically aren't visible at the top till you pull notifications down. But I remember when using the "massaged" Google Now app on ICS, they would appear up at the top. For a while after upgrading to JB on my Inspire I thought something was broken, but it turned out it's normal for some notifications to not be visible at the top all the time.

No idea if this describes your problem, but if you came from ICS to JB, there are a few changes to how the app operates.
[HTC One X+] alizawi:
I didn't know google now was available on ICS... In my case, it's always been on JB.
