you may not have noticed it, but you were getting the signal drops as viper32 described.

i recomend writing one field at a time, multiple times and rebooting between each written field.

do not write fields on the uscc that do not auto-populate when reading the phone, from my experience, this will cause authentication issues and signal drop due to the phone trying to search for service with a different radio/method (eg. LTE, CDMA, EVDO, HDR, etc.) (i could be wrong as to why the drops happen, if so i would love a real explination)

*i found the best way to flash this phone is to only disable ruim and write prl, then otap and manual program and rewrite prl.*

after that, work on 3g keys via donor. i didn't need a sim for the uscc s3 that i flashed a month ago, on 4.1.2 jz054k or whatever.

i was able to get a stable connection after a few RTN's and testing different things.

before selling the phone, I never tried to write the 10.key and I never wrote 3g keys, but the 1x was stable and it did work for mms with verizon messenger.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] unclev:
Thanks for suggestions! I come to think that there's something odd with the latest ROM or radio or local towers- tried switching phone lines - still no incoming calls, and no data.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JayHuang1:
I use both dfs and cdma on my uscc s3, it works just fine. I am trying to get 1x working but i have no sim card error. Can i just buy any unactivated sim card and put it in or is there a way around it? Thanks

Flashing an S4 to PP?

Hi,

Sorry in advance if this is inappropriate or in the wrong place . Have had no luck finding contact info

Viper, be happy to pay/contribute if you have time to remote flash my Sprint S4. The local people are having problems with text plus pix.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
If you want a remote flash you will need to message me for details.

The ussc s3 is different by which revision phone it is. Keep digging you will get there ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] norcal4877:
Hi, I just received a USCC S3. This would be the first 4g phone I messed with. I thought on these if it was on 4.1.1 it would work without the sim. I swear I read that somewhere but after searching can't find it. Any ideas? I'm still searching. No service still. Maybe because of other revisions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
4.1.1 should not need a sim..........

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] norcal4877:
Its definitely on 4.1.1 and still no service. I'm downloading 4.0.4 now so we'll see. Anything special you have to do to it to make it work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ronhero:
I can not get my msl on 4.1.2 .and when I try to downgrade I get an error. Anyone help me?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bowser27:
I had used the Sprint MSL Script for CDMAWS to zero out my msl and didn't make a back up. Is there a way to get my original msl back? I need to put my SG3 back on sprint. I odin back to 4.0.4 and change prl but msl is still zeros.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Do not take the latest ota update or you will not be able to downgrade back the modem. Plus it is locking the ability to enter diag mode on some models.

So be cautious to say the least........

I will try to get all the information together today and add to main post which bootloaders to stay away from.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
The following bootloaders on the following devices, stop the ability to downgrade back to a previous version.

I would advise to not upgrade your device to these at the moment as you may not be able to get into diag mode and getting the MSL is more challenging at the moment.

Verizon S4 VRUAME7

USSC S4 UVUAMDL

Sprint S4 VPUAMF9

Got to head to work but will update the S3 phones also when I verify if the same thing is happening.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JayHuang1:
i am running 4.1.2 on ussc s3, so i guess i need a sim card to make the data works right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] unclev:
In case of USCC with 4.1.2 ROM, does the USCC sim need to be blank, or can it be just any USCC sim that was activated with USCC before?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
It can be a used one....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] norcal4877:
From reading these new posts it seems like I'll need a sim since it was updated then?

The USC S3 I have had 4.1.2 when I got it. DIAG mode worked fine then but I odin'd back to 4.1.1 then 4.0.4. Didn't mess with bootloader. I can get service on it by changing from RUIM to NV ONLY. I am having some issues though like nam settings won't stick no matter what with DFS . Took PRL no problem though. Need to try qpst but limited time. Hoping to get this sorted. I won't have a chance to work on it until later tonight.

How are you guys getting the nam settings to stick on the USC variant of S3(SCH-r530)? Some people say QPST works and some don't. Some say DFS works fine as well. Just need more time with it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbernardo13:
I see you Viper...nice thread :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] unclev:
DFS worked for me, try it writing it, rebooting, than writing again, without sim. It makes calls and gets SMS, but that's about it so far...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] norcal4877:
peckag thus

Are you on 4.0.4? Did you have a problem with it at first?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] unclev:
No, I'm on 4.1.2, the latest instance of that.

BTW, where's a good reliable place to get stock USCC s3 ROMs? Teamuscellular?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] norcal4877:
I found 4.1.1 and 4.0.4 and both were from teamuscellular I believe.

I switched to my desktop w/ 32 bit windows 7. Clean installation. DFS still won't make any nam settings stick but QPST is working. Finally have a couple minutes to work on this thing. :o
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
That's why I do not use DFS...............

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Yep unless you downgrade the Rom.....

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] norcal4877:
Ok yeah, I understood the first time but after reading more thought I didn't understand. Downgrading is no problem. Seems like a much better solution VS having to find a sim if you don't have one.

I'm guessing you're using CWS then? I know the proper paid new version is where its at but I don't flash these all the time or anything and don't plan on it. We'll see what happens. I may hit you up for the remote flash thing for PP if I can't get this thing on USC prepaid..

Thanks for the tips. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] User_Name_:
Hello, Viper can you share anything on how to get the above devices in diag mode and the msl if we encounter these devices that have already been upgraded before we got them?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
I don't have an S4 for testing, but CF-Auto-Root-jfltespr-jfltespr-sphl720.tar.md5 via Odin3.0.7 should root the SPR variant, getprop.ril should get your MSL. Not sure if QPST can read this phone, but if so you can use it to change MSL (at least, it worked on the E4GT, never flashed a D2SPR)

The USCC and VZW variant's use six zero's...

DIAG via Anycut? Not sure, have not had time to google it....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] valutechpc:
Thanks. This worked for the US Cellular S4. Sent you a few bucks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] makiavelliapoc:
in need of your services

Good evening, im very interested in your services and willing to donate for your time,

have a gs3 working 1x, everything is great aside from lack of 3g, i have full CDMA, if you could help that would be highly appreciated
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] makiavelliapoc:
Viper's method is awesome

Viper flashed my phone and fixed another one I had, everything is working perfectly.

Highly recommended and keys autofilled without donor.

Very nice

Thx bro:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Your welcome, Glad to help........ Was a little surprised your phones where as messed up as they was being who flashed them....

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boostberry09:
Viper is top notch and he is very helpful and really nice I had problems with my computer not letting him log in because may usb port are high speed but he still did everything he could to try and help me..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gadget069:
Viper is a top notch guy. My S4 arrived today :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:

I would say my friend does but he doesn't have a dang cable to the phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
First you spam my thread now your here spamming Viper's thread. Post reported!

Nobody quote his post you don't want it around after it gets deleted. Rofl advertising your services on a free site where tutorials are free.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] moparfreak426:
go home! nobody wants you around!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gadget069:
Viper and I struggled with my S4 last night. I think tonight will be better :) One problem we had was getting my MSL. We tried a whole bunch of stuff to make it work. I finally did a little more research after getting offline and found this app which did the trick, Get My MSL from the Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.patternedsoftware.getmymsl&hl=en
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Yep, we got ya tonight though.... Let me know when you ready.........

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Thanks Nevell for looking out for us..... These guys are relentless spammers for sure.... Trying to sell their sub par crap to people........

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
The S4 is super easy to flash. One of the easiest ones yet!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thatguythatdid:
[MENTION=220241]Viper[/MENTION] I asked this in your verizon thread but didn't get a response. Do I need cdma workshop to pull the AAA keys without a donor and are you gonna post a tutorial on it in that thread? Or this one
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gadget069:
Really, Viper and I were on again tonight, finally got 1x. Still getting this annoying "activation not completed" notification. Any thoughts on this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
Root, and use TB or Rom ToolBox to freeze SeAndroid. I never got that error so idk but I usually freeze that to get rid of annoying error msgs. I got full 3G on my S4 I'll pm you the youtube link. Lol I think you saw it already btw I replied to your comment on youtube.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Yeah you can freeze that if needed..... Also gadget try to remove the Sim Card again and see if that changes anything...... If not we will get you fixed up tomorrow for sure........ Late tonight going to bed..........

S4 is not that difficult but things happen sometimes ;)

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
Viper you never replied to my pm
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gadget069:
I'll try the sim card tomorrow. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] norcal4877:
I'm learning alot. Mostly what not to do with the USC GS3 haha!. Got talk and text just on my PP account for practice which will be gone in the next couple weeks. Its working though.

Its doing something weird though. After writing the PP PRL all I get in QPST config is a ? then esn. Ever seen this before? DFS sees it and will read but can't program anything just goes to offline. Seems like it can't tell which model it is?? So far QPST and QXDM have worked though.

Any ideas?

EDIT:I switched back to desktop with build 402 of qpst and its working haha! Nice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
The USSC no way to get in Diag right now and no way to downgrade.

Sprint S4 you can get the MSL and you are ok.....

But as I stated, your bootloader will be locked so no more downgrading currently......

Help with verizon S3

Read about 40 pages of the thread and I am still confused...

Can someone help a noob convert a verizon Samsung s3 to pageplus?

Thank you very much.

arctic m39
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] unclev:
I got the data to work with sim and proper shared keys, but for the all that I can do my USCC S3 seems to not receive calls. Here's what it does

- makes calls

- sends and recieve sms

- gets voice-mail notification

- *611 says it's page plus

- working 3g

...but any attempt to cal that phone sends to voice mail. Switched phones on the PP account back and forth, other phones work just fine. There's something with this phone not reporting to tower. Could it be that it thinks it is roaming (there's no roaming icon though)? It seems that something is weird with part of it's authentication to the network.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
Probably way too simple to be the cause but have you made sure call forwarding was disabled? Should be *73
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] unclev:
turns out it was one of the myriad NAM settings, started to work after I made sure the exact copy of other phone settings on PP stick. DFS if indeed sometimes unreliable with those phones, what sticks, what not always does....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
S4 is gaining market saturation and USCC S3's are mad scheap now so this should help everyone.

Contact Viper32, he's great at it an not a bad price :cowboy:

I got the updated script for the latest build for the sprint phones ... But been busy at work and at the hospital since my stepfather is going to get sergury ....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbernardo13:
Jose, sorry to hear about your step dad. Hope all is well. Which script is this?

Sorry, I know I'm jumping in the conversation
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Yeah man sorry to hear about your stepfather. I will say a prayer for him.

Hope to see you around again really soon.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetdaddy:
Hey Viper, if it's not possible, then why would I quote Nevell's post that he did one to PP?

That's why I was asking.

My sister has been asking me for months to move her iPhone 5.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
I can put any Straight Talk Iphone 5 on Page Plus. But I have yet to see a Verizon/Sprint or any other carrier IPhone 5 on Page Plus that would function correctly. So I am just saying if he can do it then great, but to date I have not seen any at all.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetdaddy:
I was hoping to hear a reply from Nevell, since he's done it.

Viper how is that guide coming along to tell us how to flash without the donor?

It must be stable, since you've been doing it for a while now.

I know all of us would be thankful to share it with us.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbernardo13:
Viper, I think the Verizon ones can be done, but LTE has to be disabled first, then ota. This is what I was told
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Well guys I hope so for all the iphone peeps, but I am telling you with no jailbreak but tethered this will be a challenging thing to do. I have read this and that about some getting so far but none that got everything working. To me if it is not all working then its not working at all........

Back to Androids here, I hate stinking IPhones anyways, even though I have to mess with them from time to time ;)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] njdan30:
I never did a iPhone 5 to page plus but did a bunch of iPhone 4 and 4s including my personal, originally was Verizon
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Well yeah nothing to do to a Verizon 4 or 4S, just OTA update it. The Sprint 4 can be done but not the 4s....

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ganjamatik:
hello and thanks - its 4.2.2 and baseband is R970VXUAMDL
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gadget069:
Not sure if this has been posted, but this will remove the no sim icon in the s4. Edit the system/build.prop, add this line ro.config.donot_nosim=true
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Oh hes back from the dead, lol.....

Good to see ya bro.....

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ganjamatik:
oh darn that wouldnt be fun...it shows theres another version released after my version the newer one is

R970VXUAMF5 4.2.2 19.06.2013 .. the one i have is R970VXUAMDL 4.2.2 26.04.2013 .. is there a 16 digit pass that normally works for you? id hate to think i cant get this one to work i got a decent deal and its near perfect
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Guys please read the first three post the info is there......

2010031619780721

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ganjamatik:
hey viper sorry for confusion but i tried that and all that you have listed, however this is a us cellular version an dthe 16 digit pass was not listed in your first post thats why i requested your expert advice-
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
''

Ok I edited the post, its there now. Really no need to send the 16digit password to write to the phone. If you know the SPC which will be 000000 on USSC variants that is all you will need.

I sometimes assume people will know what i do and do not update things, sorry for that, its done now though......

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ganjamatik:
ok thanks i do see that now- however i hope this new info i gained helps.. i know the spc is 000000 for sure and i can access ##3282# and confirm it is correct through there and using connectbot.... but cdma workshop indicates that my spc of 000000 is wrong??? when i know its 000000 .. so since its sayen incorrect for both spc and 16 digit could it have to do with how i got it into diag mode? i used the diag.sh script and scriptmanager to enable it and it is recognized by cdmaws and thats all i can guess - thanks i hope that helps clear things up and again ur replies are very helpful i think i know alot but apparently not and this is my first us cellular s4 ive ever messed with
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Just unplug and reboot the phone and try this manual way......

USCellular SCH-R530 U (Galaxy S III) and SCH-R950 (Note 2)

Open Dialer enter *#22745927

When Enable/Disable Menu comes up tap "Hidden Menu Disabled"

Select "Enable" on Popup

Press Home button

Open Dialer

Dial **87284

When PhoneUtil Opens Select PDA

Tap Qualacomm USB Setting

Select DM+Modem+ADB

Tap OK

(Remember after flashing to return and put phone back to MTP+ADB)

Or try this......

USCC S4

1.go to settings and about device or about phone

2. tap the build prop a bunch of times til it tells you that your a developer

3. go back and now you have the developement option and turn on usb debugging

4.Dial *#22745927 to enable hidden menu

5.usb adb to open the iot hidden menu here is the command (adb shell "am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://IOTHIDDENMENU")

6.Choose usb settings

7.And choose DM+ADB+MODEM

8.dial *#9090# and choose dm over uart and phone will reboot

9. plug in

alt ##DMMODE# turn it on

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ganjamatik:
adb shell "am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_

OK FINALLY- geez these us cellular phones are finicky as hell!! sprint version are a breeze but basically just in case it helps someone else DO NOT use script manager- you definitely need to enable the hidden menu but after you do that just use the utulity app to enable diag- thats the easiest simplest way as the other methods did not work for me thank you viper for all your assistance i would say theres alot of lucky poeple here who probably dont realise how rare your willingness to help is- thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
I think what viper is not sating but most already know, and I'll go ahead and say, iPhone 5 with lte utilizes a completely new and custom 3g+4g all in one modem. Said hardware is not fully compliant/compatible with quallcomm's standards (read: monopoly). Because of this fact and a lack of official PST, hardware documentation and a plethora of other things: namely untethered jailbreak, no one will flash ban iPhone 5 let alone guarantee their work for any amount of time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vettejock99:
I wanted to revisit a discussion from earlier in the thread. When I flash some ROMs on my Verizon S3 after a full wipe I have no data and mobile network shows disconnected under Status. I know that this is a CDMA deal so APNs shouldn't be a factor, and I've tried all the rooted, system-type backup and recovery APN solutions anyway and can't get it to work. In looking into the zip file posted in the OP the "Production" APN looks different from the VZWINTERNET and such I've seen anyway.

So there are some i535 ROMS I'd like to try but this data loss sends me back to BoneStock. Do one of you smart guys here know how to fix data if you have had it (Viper 3G all the way) and lose it in a new ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
I tried the zip and I put it on my phone and I had lost data on my flashed Verizon s3 ..I just left the apn along that was on the rom.. your data will not change that's just more if u trying to get the stock messenger to send mms
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
Wat?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vettejock99:
I think you're saying you were able to flash the zip? I tried that before and got failures, and re d/l'ed to eliminate bad download as a cause. I couldn't flash it.....and yeah, this is just about data for me, not MMS, as Verizon Messenger has worked on all the ROMs I've tried.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
I wasn't able to flash the zip I had to unzip it and put the file in the system /etc /
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] norcal4877:
Viper is a 'very' cool dude. He checked out this USCC GS3 I'm working on. Sent him a donation even though we didn't get data going but I just found something. Mobile data is disabled without the sim. Try to enable it and it asks for sim. Don't know why. Its getting service all the time now which is farther than I was before. I'll take talk/text for now and keep working on it then report when I figured out solution.

I really just wanted to say he's a stand up guy and give a public thanks. This dude rocks. :good:

EDIT:Rebooted phone and same thing. Weak...... I'll keep at it though.
