I don't have problems with the Data portion. I always seem to have problem with MIN, MDN portion of the flash. They seldom stick...

it is really weird. I have done about 20-30 phones now and only seem to have issues with US Cellular S3. The Note 2, S2 and S4 all seems to work ok (knock on wood).

I really wish I could figure out how to pull the keys without the i500. :) So far I have not had any luck, but I am researching and trying. trying to figure out qpst and qxdm.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
I did, we thought data was broken so i tried to read it to see if anything changed. Nothing had changed, and yes, DMU 0 works 100%.

(MDN/Number Status showed 0.0kb data remaining...should have done that first, but i'm glad i read the phone - otherwise i would have thought i wrote dmu as 10 in DFS and not seen my error.)

I thought it was odd...I've seen 41 and afaik 10 was supposed to be set on every phone with 3g from verizon mvno...but ya...dmu 0.

This was also the first time I got an USCC S3 to work 100%, and the fist time i only wrote to 1 profile for a USCC (i probably didn't ever need to write to 2, but i thought the phone was closer to sprint variant than vzw, i also used simple pref for mobile.ip instead of only)

Edit: Does anyone have LGETool? I need an SPC...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mikedeezy:
ok I see, what i have done is used a incognito, and have successfully flashed one of my galaxy s3's. so with the other that will only get 1x with the same donor incognito, i pulled the nam 1 and nam 2 from the working galaxy s3 to the one with 1x, and the latter still only gets 1x.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
So...have you tried DFS and hitting write multiple times, reboot and then read the phone?

This has worked for me many times, having a used USCC SIM may be the key...I flash USCC with SIM IN. DMU 0, don't touch the /EFS.

(why flash USCC with SIM in? Because 3 times now the SIM card has become COMPLETELY UNREADABLE after ejecting it. I swear USCC does this on purpose. - DO NOT EVER EJECT your USCC SIM- and no it was not static that killed them, I have an OP/TECH NEOTECH matt that I use and a grounding pad)

I wasn't able to read the (either HA or AAA, can't remember) password (after flashing), but 3g worked and I assume that it did stick because of the real working 3g.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
hmmmm. odd never seen that happen before......

Even if it does just use a Verizon 4G sim it will work fine also.....

talkin 'bout page plus

A lot of that depends on your region. New York and Chicago and LA are very interesting in regards to different basebands AND (this is new to me) with to what can be programmed over the air..NYC especially, is amazing, phones that SHOULD NOT GET ANY DATA are now getting 3g via OTAP...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dirkdigles:
What?? Like a Sprint phone could be programmed via *228 in NYC?

Fixed your question.

Answer: No, but a Metro (SPC fixed ofc) or USCC just might ;) Also...some feature phones and...ya I'll stop here...

Ready for advice. I have my sprint s3 on PP and now need help with the donor. I am using a verizon lg cosmos for the donor, it currently says 1x and is on PP there is no data connection when i try to use the browser though. Both of these phone are on separate phone lines with their own numbers currently until i get each of them where they need to be. How do I get the Cosmos to connect to data first and then I guess I can go from there as far as getting the keys. I am guessing the LG cosmos was just OTAP to get up and going when i first put it on PP? Should it have had a "3g" connection from the start being a verizon dumb phone going on page plus?

Should the S3 be reading a data connection or not? There is no 3g symbol or no sim card symbol next to the voice bars. I know its currently not connected but even when it is there are no data symbols etc. THanks for all the good stuff in this thread already.

Screenshot of the S3 connection currently

S3 already flashed for PP. Will a phone # change require reflashing?

Viper, you helped me with my wife's Verizon S3 a while back and had it dialed in for PP. Well, she got a phone from work and I inherited the S3. I tried to activate on PP and was unable. The PP plus person *suggested* dropping a number from the ESN to make it work but I didn't get it. Since this phone was flashed for one number, do I need it re flashed for another? Id also like to know what the suggestions would do (if its acceptable and legal to talk about). Thanks!

And it looks like I never came back to publicly thank Viper for his great work. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
On the S3, the flash is tied to the phone number. If that changes, device has to be reflashed. This is actually the case with all but a few phones - motorolas that have been flashed with certain system edits.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Yes you would drop the last digit from the IMEI is correct. Also yes it would need reflashed to the number that you want assigned to it now.

1.) Why would the Cosmos Touch have a browser and not have evdo? Is 1x capable of data? is that what is allowing the LG Cosmos to do picture mail? in the link below you can see there is no evdo.

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/LG-Cosmos-Touch_id4844

2.) Am I correct that this is not what I want to use as a donor?

3.) Can I use the phone without evdo to get mms working on the Sprint S3 though?

4.) I have read that the HA key will be the same for all PP phones but the AAA is unique per device, is this correct?

Thanks, enjoy the snow!

im on stock official mja on my us cellular sch-r530

i have programmed to pageplus with dfs tools

i activated with pageplus (OTA *22890)

I updated prl with pageplus (OTA *22891)

i dont really see a specific guide step by step so i have grabbed bits and pieces here and there

i am set to "NV_ONLY" in dfs tools (default was "RUIM_ONLY")

the cellular radio keeps cycling on and off every 20 to 30 seconds

anyone know what this could be?

something in buildprop need fixed? (im not root but i can be if needed)

i also have a little triangle next to my signal meter but the prl did update (i checked in dfs)

1 more thing. if i make a phone call it will not disconnect me

same for when doing OTA *22890 and *22891

what gives?

thanks for any help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Its because you have a Verizon unmoddded PRL on the phone is why you have roaming triangle (Write one of the modded ones)

The US Cellular phones are sometimes touchy, but looks like you have a EVDO RX Control Issue that's fixed if flashed properly.

OTA Programming will not get you what you need, phone has to be manually written to.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdrogers84:
1.) So a roaming triangle is due to being on a sprint tower, is this correct?

2.) Can someone explain what each nam is for and then what are the different profiles for within the mobile IP?

3.) When are the keys actually written to the phone? after the first call? or when the network activates the meid?

Thanks

please help with the cellular radio turning off and on every 25 seconds or so?

ive tried to read tons and tons of pages in this thread but cant see anyone having similar problems

stock mja not rooted and no custom recovrey and no im inserted (sometimes i insert a us cellular sim in) but i dont think its making a difference

i dont think im getting mms or data yet

for right now i just want to have a normal voice + sms that dont cycle off and on every 20 seconds

when in a call it stays connected,

also have the little triangle icon next to cellular signal strength notification

whoops wrong topic sorry! :p

that helps with the triangle.

do you think that is why the cellular antenna keeps restarting every 25 seconds while in stock mja?

in cm11 nightly (d2usc) it reboots the phone after it powers on. there is just enough time to put phone into airplane mode to stop the long boot loop

what am i missing

how is everyone else having success and i am not?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
The ERI has nothing to do with your phone disconnecting. See the instruction above from viper.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
bad flash, no sim card, bad prl.

guaranteed...(radio disconnnect(s) and phone reboot is always bad flash on USCC)

Please (in order): RTN your phone, re-odin, re-flash*

Make sure DMU=0, don't bother writing /EFS/DMU/10.key, only write to 1 profile, use SimplePref (same as VZW&default) for M.IP, use the latest 60k PRL that Viper32 has provided.

Post results here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
i think some of it is cdma dfs tool (demo) fault or part the phone.

real hard to flash when radio is turning off and on.

it only reboots phone when using cm11 and it only reboots right after the cellphone signal bars start showing up at the ui.

cant do any type of RTN or SCRTN on this uscc mja rom.

dialer code does not work. (believe me i wish i could)

not sure what DMU=0 is. havent messed with /efs/dmu/10.key

the phone completed activation and changed quite a few settings in cdma dfs tools

it says this is a guide but i really dont see a guide as far as what settings are supposed to be in dfs tools under nam, data and M I.P.

anyhelp you can offer would be great
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
This thread does not support custom rom's, only stock tw.

This thread does not claim to be a guide, in fact it claims the opposite.

This thread is for flashing help for those who know how to flash.

dfs demo is how i write to uscc s3 on any android version, i own cdma workshop and for some reason it just doesnt work for me for uscc s3.

Please follow previous directions, if you cannot RTN with custom ROM then odin to stock and make sure to RTN and if u want to be safe, odin again after RTN.

Please report back after following specific instructions.

If you are trying to get 3g via OTAP on a custom CM ROM, then you will need a very specific build of CM 10.2, google is your friend & I cannot answer questions about this....

If you want 3g on stock TW, then read this thread a few times and you will get it.

There is no guide, only guidance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
I've never seen a phone reboot after obtaining a signal. If you're using the right rom for the phone, it should work. That said, you don't use verizon roms on sprint phones for example.

If your phone does need further reprogramming/flashing, you will need to be on a tw based rom. There are some cm instructions floating around, but it's far more hassle than its worth.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
im on stock TW

there is no DIAL CODES FOR MJA

only DM mode can be achieved with ##DMMODE#

i am not on any custom rom currently

i said when i was on CM11 it would reboot after antenna came on.

i said when i was on STOCK MJA after phone comes on it Cycles/Resets off and on the cellular antenna

something is tripping either airplane mode or the modem/radio.....just keeps resetting every 30 seconds

not sure what to do

i have an older cdmaws 2.7 but it dont let you do alot of settings that need to be done

sure wish i could do an RTN.

on my sprint S4 i can SCRTN or RTN without problems and it has mja also

im not even worried about data/mms

i just want the phone radio to stay on

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
so in other words you dont know how to get this phone to do a RTN through dial pad OR by re-flashing mja over my current MJA?

if you can get one of those done for this phone on this software i will be very surprised
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
^^Both are achievable. You won't find step by step instructions.

RTN works too, but requires root and other system edits.

That's the point of this topic is for people to learn the process.

If I give the complete answer to every problem then what would one learn? (Well besides how to follow step by step instructions)

I bet once he figures out the issue and gets things working he will feel allot better than me just telling him how to do it.

Well I would anyways, I gave him the answer if he researches he will succeed....

I know everyone does not agree with my methods but they are allot that have really appreciated them in the end and have became pretty darn decent in the process from it........

this isnt an area to be saying...."oh let him learn on his own" this is an area where ppl mess up their device all the time.

i though you couldnt tell me how to clear the area that ##SCRTN# and ##RTN# clears.

if you knew you would have said it.

guess what i did fix it though and you want me tell you how????

i bet your dying to here

i had another us cellular stock on mja that worked and i used dfs with phones side by side. it wasnt any settings that fixed it. it was reseting the rf and then writing the rf from my other s3 to this s3

guess what? it fixed it. you were way off i think

k now i would like to try the guide again

im back on RUIM_ONLY and just did a *228 in the us cellular phone.

it connected and activated successfully

im on stock mja rom and with what ever settings got programmed into the phone with the OTA

a basic guide about what to do in dfs tool demo (which is what i have) settings dont stick for crap in there

anyone have any tips on how to make them stick better?

i have to write each page like 40x and phone resets to check settings just to show it didnt change,

and then sometimes it will

got to be a trick or something

i have cdma ws 2.7 but i think its to old for this GS3

all i found is the one on their website for $108 i think it is. thats for just one phone right?

thats insane

do you think it could be my drivers or is this known problem with dfs tools?

i dont remember having this much of a problem using it with other phones.

i use it on my sprint gs4 and had some sticking problems but nothing like this uscc gs3

if someone could just message me a basic outline of the things that need to be done in DFS after i switch to NV_ONLY

do i need the sim card in from uscc? i know i need to write mdn min sid mostly where i have difficulty is in the flashing with dfs tools and missing info like did anything have to be done with buildprop editor on stock TW. do we need to be root to adjust anything to make this work?

is there anything special im missing? can i be in mFPR or should i be in ehrpd. lte/cdma/evdo or just cdma/evdo

some screens of people pageplus working with highest speed possible would be great

just black out areas you dont want seen

dont really need the general tab. only thing in there is ruim/nv and we pick nv_only

so basically nam and data and maybe mobile lp tabs

or just basic text in here is ok. i know i must have did something wrong

do we have to do *22890 and *22891 or should we not be doing those

CDMA Workshop is not just for one phone.

It can be used as long as you want and flash as many phones as you like......

I gave you the answer from the beginning with your first issue of the radio cycling..

Trust me when i say this, you are not going to teach me anything or show me anything I do not already know with a flashing process.

And I have yet to see someone that bricked or messed up the device trying to flash it beyond repair.

In the end you got past one issue now you have ran into another problem and are probably a little frustrated I understand, but the little comments you make, is not going to make anyone want to continue with helping you.

For one I don't use DFS and really care very little for it, as CDMA is far superior. Not saying that you can't get it to work with DFS as I am sure and know it can be done.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdrogers84:
What are several reasons data does not connect after flash?

Should 1x work without AAA keys?

Is the idea behind putting a 4g phone on 3g service that the AAA key is written to the Sim and when only using 3g we are not using the Sim therefore the keys need placed in the nv items? I guess my question is if you don't have to use a donor and the keys are on the phone

1-where are they?

2- where do they need to go?

3- why weren't they put there originally?

Which brings up the next question is there a way to set up the phone prior to activating it so the keys get put in the right spot?

To understand this, you must understand the mobile authentication process & verizon's own (not publicly disclosed) tweaks.

A few things you can google: "CDG183_v4.xlsx" , "C14-20020513-006 MOT ME-RUIM Intrfc Test Stage 3.doc" , "EddsCDMA Page Plus 3g guide.txt" , "Mobile DMU Authentication Process????.???" <---this last one has to do with regulations and standards and is a great read...someone in this thread has posted many of these as attachments...i believe i gave thanks to them...The questions you ask, well to find the answers you must commit yourself to being fully involved. I wish you luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdrogers84:
Thanks afextwin

If you write in DFS after a read that does not pull the characters, ie in aaa hex, is it writing a blank field back to the phone?

This sure would be crucial when trying to tweak settings.
