Viper,

Can I roll back to 4.3 from 4.4.2 on my sprint S3? I'm on the ND8 modem

For some reason I am not able to write/Save the MIP info. I write it but it will not stick for the life of me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
ppl when flashing a phone u have to read the phone 1st then write to phone..also the phone can not be in airplane mode ..nothing will stick to the phone while in airplane mode
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
You are correct in that airplane must not be on with most devices, but you do not have to read before writing, I never do and mine always sticks.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
I tried the just writing and that don't work to good on some phones ....the sprint ones are an headache so that's the reason I say read before writing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johngandersonjr:
I've tried with/without airplane mode as well as offline-a, offline-d, reading first, not reading, etc.... I just can't get the MIP info to stick. the phone number [MENTION=536007]vzw3[/MENTION]g.com sticks but not the passwords.

I've tried pulling the keys with the 10.key as well as using the i500 but nothing will stick. I mistakenly upgraded the ROM to 4.4.2/ND8, modem. Would that do it?

This is my personal device I am learning on. the device is a Sprint S3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
You cannot read the passwords in all fields on a Sprint S3. If you write them they are there, they are just write only no reading of them except PPP Pass will read.

So if you write it they are there.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johngandersonjr:
ok, then I must have something else screwed up.

its really weird. at first I had data but the signal would go up and down and I would get MIP error 67 messages all the time, but still had data, so I thought Maybe I had the MIP info wrong, so I checked all that and looks good. I had data using the 10.key but had the error. then I started using the i500 and now nothing will work.

If I reflash do I need to remove the 10.key redo the nam and put the 10 key back after or can I just leave it there?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Reset the esn thru Page Plus then pull your keys again and write.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
y do ppl use the 10 key it's not really required
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johngandersonjr:
I try to use the 10.key as I do not want to rely on a i500 and there is a chance I can send someone a phone in the mail and have it pull keys when they get it, so they are not without a phone :)

I have done a esn reset about 10 times :) I'm thinking I must have checked a box or something that is screwing me, but I for the life of me can't find it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Well keep digging is all I can say. You got something screwed up and to be a flasher as you are attempting to be and make money by selling the product you got to figure some things out by trial and error ;)

Sometimes you must start completely over from the beginning........

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johngandersonjr:
So far most of the phones I have done are for my family, friends and friends of friends. I've been asked to help people out but they live to far from me so I am trying to be able to have them send me the phone and I can send it back to them or remote flash. I have tried a few remote flashes but i look like an idiot when they take me 3 hrs :) By the time I get this figured out, PP will probably have LTE.

I appreciate the help. When you say start over, do you mean by odin the stock firmware back on??? Once I have the 10.key on the phone, If I run into issues like I am having, Do I need to remove it before attempting again?

I think I need to figure out how to start over? Is there a way where I can get the Sprint S3 back to factory ???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
If you are using CDMA yes it is easy as you should always save the stock nam to have for this type thing. If you are using DFS crap ;) then you need to find someone to take screen ****s and put it back, also a hard reset and odin will help.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johngandersonjr:
I have purchased CDMA WS - Not a DFS fan. I like how CDMA WS is laid out.

I unfortunately did not save the stock nam. Can I go from 4.4.2 with ND8 back to 4.3 with odin or will I brick it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
question is the aaa and ha keys short as in they are not the full length sometimes in Cdma work shop the keys are not showing how they really are ...so connect your I500 to dfs then read the aaa and ha keys from there ..that could be a reason y the Internet is not working
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
There may be a way to go back but that is not the issue at all............

4.4.2 flashes just fine..... See if you can find someone that has a stock nam they will send you.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johngandersonjr:
Cool. I appreciate the help. I'll see if someone can send me one quick. I've got my parents coming over in a few hrs and I was going to give this phone to my dad. I do have a boost moto g on PP. I may just give him that one, then he won't be able to screw it up and if he does he can dial *228 :)

Thanks for the help though I will save the default nam from now on :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johngandersonjr:
Viper,

Think I figured out what is going on. I think Verizon is having tower issues by me. I am not able to update any device or get any keys. Existing devices are working fine, but I tried putting 3-4 different numbers on my i500 and *228 and All I get is talk/Text, Do Data. I contacted Page Plus but they said they are unaware of any issue. I had someone from a different state activate the number on a device down by them and they get data just fine. Must be something up in Wisconsin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Yeah could be, time to MOVE ;)

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johngandersonjr:
It has always been good. We have Verizon on the tower Where I work. something must be going on

I was thinking I was nuts. I know I am just learning but How can all my phones be bad :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mkarps:
Where you at in Wisconsin? I've had no issues using my fascinate to pull keys. I'm west of Milwaukee.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johngandersonjr:
East of Appleton.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
Something is definitely up with their data provisioning/authentication services. Had issues in the afternoon getting phones to authenticate. No problems in the morning. It's either regional or localized. Doesn't matter if it was a non vzw or vzw device. Same issue with both.

Tried the donor too, maybe it's all out of donations.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johngandersonjr:
I've been pulling my hair for 6 hrs last night and for about 5-6 hours today.

I finally figured it had to be the towers. I had a nice friend from NC activate the phone number on a phone down there and it worked fine. I cannot get anything other than talk/text up here.

I contacted page plus and asked if there were any issues and they said the did not know of any.

I put 3 known good numbers on my fascinate and nothing and now they will not work on the phones I took them off of :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mkarps:
Well I haven't tried to this week as I've taken a few days off work and hit the Dells so could be something to that actually. Good luck hopefully just some tower issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
It's not a tower issue. Towers are just the medium the data passes through. Something with the servers that actually calculate and distribute these codes has broke or can't be reached.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johngandersonjr:
Are you able to get data provisioned now? I just tried and still no go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
Negative. I've been busy with other things to mess around with it too much tonight. If it's still not working in the am, some calls will be made.

Talking with page plus customer service is pointless. If your query does not reside in their scripts, they refer to the 'it's your problem or we don't support that device' bs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johngandersonjr:
Thanks. Can u post or pm me if you find anything out?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johngandersonjr:
Woke up this morning and phones had 3G so they must have addressed the issue overnight. Hopefully it stays up and running.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
No problems here all day yesterday and I flashed remotely all over the country 11 devices to be axact, even activated and authernicated three here at home.....

Must be a certain region or the methods used.

SHADOW COMING

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johngandersonjr:
It was definitely the region. I could not even get data on my fascinate and woke up this morning and it was there. It was getting keys but not authenticating them for some reason.

whats shadow?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] djnikochan:
Pulled keys, but pulling my hair out

Greetings, programmers! Anybody wanna help me finish my almost complete Sprint Note II?

OK, so I'm no n00b, but I'm new to the Note II. I've got a Sprint SPH-L900 I'm trying to flash to PagePlus. I've done a couple Sprint EVO devices back in the day, and even flashed a pair of Verizon Galaxy Nexuses (Nexen? I dunno!) to PagePlus for my girlfriend and I. I always use a Fascinate to pull keys; never have issues with that. I'm not 'seasoned' but not new.

The problem I'm having (and I've seen previously in this thread, but never saw the actual fix for) is that the Note II is not accepting some of the programming. DFS throws a "Bad Param" error when I try to write the HDR AN Long as well as a few other things. I can get talk and text, and I can get 1x data, but of course 3G is a no-go when I get Bad Params trying to write passwords, and when the AKey won't stick. I'm also not sure if I need the DMU/10.key or not, but I have pulled it and saved it.

Suggestions/advice? Thanks in advance!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
Looks to be resolved here too. Pretty rare for this to happen. Suppose they're messing with the system in preparation for upcoming changes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
LOOK UP

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johngandersonjr:
Must be. Glad its working for you. I was going nuts. I'm not great at this but I can at least do it with the i500 consistently and that was not working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
It's recess time!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:

Sprint S4 also gives these errors on write and doesn't show some keys on read, but when flashed correctly all works including 3G. Can't forget to install used sim or no 3G.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] djnikochan:
Duly noted, and thank you very much! I will pull a fresh set of keys with my donor and see where I get. Maybe I didn't get them off the donor correctly or it didn't program correctly at the time. Sprint Note II has no SIM slot but I know people are using it, so I think I'm OK in that regard.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
sprint note 2 do have a sim card it's internal tho ..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Sim card is there but not used like they are on Verizon devices.... Allot different and I never use a sim card in any of the Sprint Galaxy Phones I flash as it is not needed............

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
for the USC note 3 how many profiles need to be enabled ..I can not get data on this phone for nothing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
I use two...... You need a ussc SIM card also....

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
Do u use profile 0 and 1 also I no ppl say it as to be a used sim card is there any way I could use a new 1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
I use 0 and 1 with #1 ACTIVE

Not sure on a new sim, you can try it.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
ok question is the mega like that to because I have flashed several with profile 0 only and active 0 and had data ..but I had 1 that couldn't get data at all

update ...just had to do a hard reset of the mega ..usc phones suck

I ended up buying a Verizon version S4 and I am looking to flash it to PP.

I am currently on 4.4.2 and don't have a sim card yet.

I was able to find and do everything there.

However I still don't have cell service after reboot.

Anything else I need to do or do I really need a sim card on 4.4.2 even for voice?

Thanks

Mark
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
That is only for MMS messaging fix, not for flashing.....

If you do not have voice then this will do you no good............

I cannot find all the information here. I have spent almost 3 days trying to figure this out and I am about ready to give up.

I have read and read and I am so confused by all the different information. I just have no idea what to do.

I just did a factory reset, because of all the stuff I installed thinking I was following what I was suppose to do, but apparently not.

My biggest confusion is all the different requirements based on the Android version and all the partial information around.

There doesn't seem to be one place that covers flashing to PP on 4.4.2.

I cannot afford to have anyone else do it for me as I spent just about all the money I have already.

I am just so frustrated right now. It has just been an awful day all around.

I am going to try to downgrade to 4.3 and hope that once flashed (if I can do it) that I can upgrade back up to 4.4.x

Need a lil help with a Sprint Note 3 running 4.4.2 I have t&t but no data

used i500 as donor

2012112120131219 as password

changed SPC to 000000

loaded .nam

R-UIM = NV only

EVDO Rev= Revision A....MFPA

Made 2nd profile with the 1st profile data

Enabled both profiles

R. Int= 2000

M.IP Beh = Mobile IP

I tried ##Data# and changed the Data Profile username to the ##########@vzw.com

I even tried the Boost Moto G method of getting web through DFS

I put the 10 key in the DMU folder.

I can't get the settings to stick in the EVDO tab... Any help would be GREAT!!!!!!!!!

Would the cable matter in writing the settings? I was using a regular micro, not the Note 3/S5 fatter cable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IMAIN:
Follow what post #4906 did. That should give you talk and text. As far as I know there is no downgrade from 4.3 and above the traditional method. It is very likely you will brick your phone if you try the traditional method. In any case I am unaware of any difference on flashing methods on 4.4 and 4.3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] markrb12:
Post #4906 says only that he used the 16 digit password. I have the 16 digit password for Verizon.

I leaned how to get and use CDMA DFS tools. I put the phone in diag mode. I get the message phone unlocked in CDMA tools.

I get errors whenever I try to read anything.

I am still completely stuck after another 4 hours of trying.

My phone was successfully downgraded to 4.3. Based on what I read only downgrading below 4.3 will brick the phone.

I did that because of all the errors in CDMA DFS tools. I read somewhere that the modem in 4.4.2 was not compatible.

Here is a pretty good video on how to downgrade 4.4.2 to 4.3 and it includes a link to the written instructions from xdadevelopers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZweIJrompdk

I figured out my first issue and it was me not paying complete attention. Frustration will do that.

I was able to get CDMA tools to read and write to the phone fine.

I was able to get connected to PP.

Now I have a different issue that once I initiate a call my phone dials (I called my land line), but it freezes the phone.

I used the tutorial on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtgIFBkTzLs It isn't the most clear and there are probably things I missed or something. I am going to go through it again later very slowly and see what I missed. If anyone else can take a quick look and see if there is anything wrong that could cause my problem please, please let me know.

No reason to change SPC. No reason for having two profiles if using donor and DFS. Need to flash correct PRL (65002 is the one I have had most success with on Sprint) from Viper's list. Need to use 8sms app with settings from front of this post for MSM messaging to work on Sprint.

I seem to be having a issue with the phone transitioning from 1x to 3g and vise versa.

It will connect and then disconnect and say I'm connected to unknown network. If I force the phone to 1x or evdo only it will stay. But if I choose cdma auto it constantly disconnects. Any ideas.

Using a sprint s3 on page plus/verizon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] markrb12:
I have been able to get voice and texting working. It still says "no sim- no service".

I have not done the "no sim" removal mod as I have a sim coming and hope that will take care of it.

Quick question. I used the 60008 PRL. Is this a good one or should I switch?

In the first post it states the 60007 is the newest. Should I use this instead or another?

When the drain on my funds stops (just had to spend $250 on a sick dog on top of everything else) I will get Viper to really flash it, but for now stuck with clumsy me.

As a note to Viper I called Page Plus and the SID for New Hampshire is 28.
