well i lost the connections i did have. im flashed back to us cellular but have a crippled phone i believe or dfs tool is messed up (i hope)

under "data" below the mfpa ehrpd box where you can select evdo or hrd stuff there was about 10 different settings i could pick from

i turn my head and there is only two to pick from

both are evdo

i have uninstall dfs tool and tried the best i could to clean anything it left behind and then i re-installed but same thing

i read my gs4 and another gs3 and both have same options also.

im really beginning to hate dfs tool

I was working on a sprint S3, but I had no trouble with DFS tool demo once I wrote both the 16-digit passcode and the SPC code to unlock the phone. With only one of the two, it never worked properly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
yea it wont let you do anything with out the 16 digit pw

where is my ehrd settings gone too...omg
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdrogers84:
ok i still have the triangle but now it says "preferred system" and "full system functionality" on the page plus prl instead of "digital roaming" like on the modded sprint prl, i think thats better but not sure? I do not have fluctuating data or the cycling issue. It does try to connect (like shown in the picture)once in a great while but will not, am i mistaken that this is the cycling issue?

Random Questions section below

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

under the main utilities should the phone be on cdma modem or pda when writing to the phone? and then also under normal use what is it to be set at?

does nam 1 need to look the same as nam 2? does the the prl actually need to be written to both of them why or why not?

Thanks

Please Help

Can anyone please help me I have been going at this for over a month now with no luck. I have flashed many phones including the sprint and Verizon s3 and note 2s but, I have a USCC S4 and a Verizon S4 both are on 4.3. I have the MSL all zeroed out and I have wrote everything to the phones tons of times. I can get talk and text working on both of them. But I can't get either of them to get data to connect. I got all my data setting wrote correctly (including keys) from the donor phone I used. (which the data works on)

The phones are set to NV Only and I have tried without the sim cards in them and with VZW sim cards in them with USCC sim cards in them and with Sprint sim cards in them with no luck.

I have went through the menu and settings and set them to cdma and I have made sure that the data is enabled.

in the setting about phone it reads as follows

Signal Strength: -73 dBm 16 asu

Mobile Network type: CDMA-EvDo rev. A

Service state: In service

Roaming: Not roaming

Mobile Network State: Disconnected

The mobile network state is the part that gets me cause it wont try to connect at all? even if I turn on and off the mobile network it wont even say connecting for a sec. and yes my wifi is off.

First, let me say thank you very much to Viper, Nevell, MrHunter, and all the others who spend so much time answering questions on this forum. Without your help, many of us, like myself, wouldn't know where to begin the flashing process. Here's the question I have: I recently tried to flash my sprint galaxy s3 to page plus. Everything seems to be working fine (voice, text, and data), but page plus doesn't report that I'm using any of my data allowance. I used a brand new donor gusto to get my keys, but I'm afraid that I have copied too much information from my donor to my galaxy s3. Can someone give me a hint as to where I went wrong in the process. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Well I would not complain if they do not see the data you are using.... If it works ride it out and don't worry about it....

I am trying to get an verizon incredible 4g lte 3g to work. I got the phone working but the data is a no go the Modem says disconnected ad will not even for 1x. I have done phones using dfs and qualcomm qpst but this verizon lte phone has me perplexed. I loaded the nv items from my donor 1,465,466,906,910,1192,1194,1943 and voice started working but data is a no go any ideas? I did change it to nv_only . I still cant use *228 because it says it needs the sim.

Can Ioad a different radio? This radio if I d ##778 and ##7764726 is missing many options.

I also cant use cdmaw because i get your trial has expired.

radio still turning off and on repeatably every 15 seconds

if im in a call it stays connected and does not drop

it was provisioned with *22890 and it updated prl (and gave me triangle)

i have added the 10.key with dfs through efs

i also uploaded the verizon modified 6007

i can connect at 1x, evdorev_a

i see my keys that changed in data tab and mobile ip tab (they are no longer vzw and are long numbers)

i can not get the 1.178.7 to stick

RM NAI : yourphonenumber@dun.vzw3g.com

DMU PKOID: 10 DMU MN Auteth: 1.178.7

the 1.178.7 is blank (i have seen screens shots of that area and it shows it there)

the 10.key file i put there with dfs (it shows it there)

i can connect at 1x and pull data but its slow. i also do see it goto 3g sometimes but i never can pull data (like a website)

i do see the ssha keys it appears

what is going on with the cell radio turning off and on (it looks like it still does it in airplane mode too) i can see in DFS "equipment tab"

and if i try and write with dfs while radio is cycling off and on and i catch it when its off the log screen shows all red which means it didnt write

how can i write while its cycling off and on

i flashed full firmware and it still doing it

i tried to flash a separate modem mja but it failed so i had to flash the full firmware which was successful

any help on this would be great

i hate DFS TOOL !!!!!!!

piece of crap and cdma ws

its so hard to tell if i getting a bad flash because the dang software dont write

the antenna is turning off and on as im trying to write

i tried in airplane mode also

with and without sim in

i seen keys one time but i do not know how i got them

seen them in mobile ip and hdr an long but my short dont look ok but the other one looks good for ppp

this is driving me insane and i know someone sitting there laughing but when your talking on this 5 days straight something is really missing in this bundle of information in this thread
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Well I am not laughing but some of your comments or somewhat funny. Anyways send me a private message i will take a quick look at it. I am not going to flash it but i will see if i can get you away from the in and out signal.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
i think i can get it with some help

when setting these settings in dfs tool / cdmaws:

01 is any sim supposed to be in at all when flashing the device

02 should phone be put in airplane mode when flashing or will that stop some settings from being flashed correctly

03 with the modified verizon 6007 prl does it just get rid of the triangle or does it actually allow us to connect when we are actually roaming?

04 can we get 4g? i know we cant get lte unless its with the same carrier that the phone belongs to.

if i need 3g keys all i have to do is *22890 with the sim card in then reset phone and make one phone call

then i start to see 1x and 3g in notifications but 3g never sticks and in the dfs data tab when i read the ppp and hdr an long show encrypted but the hdr an password still = vzw

is this all because the PAP acct is enabled letting it go through to mobile ip and the DMU at the bottom with same login as the PAP for used id

?

i want to learn how to do this been when im fighting so many things (most being dfs tool) 2nd being the antenna going on and off

viper32 ill message ya in a min. few things i still trying.

when i flashed the only mja i have (supposed to be official but it does not do an RTN when installing so i doubt it is)

gonna look and see if that 10.key file is in

u can not get 3g keys on a flashed phone by dialing -22890

I see alot of ppl that wanna flash there phone the free way use dfs , qpst ,winedit....thats just to much work right there..lol ill say i used dfs to do my 1st flashes but cdma workshop is better but i do use dfs from time to time to read a phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdrogers84:
I think I found out why I'm on mk5 baseband, it's a zact Mobile phone. I think SU tripped the Zact phone activation app because it won't let me answer the phone, it says it wants to activate the phone but of course there is no data so....

Does it matter which baseband you are on for flash?

Do the prl's correspond with an appropriate baseband?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
No should not matter the most important thing is the MSL and the 16 digit password to work with........

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
its is piece of crap

i used to have a cdma ws that gave me all those settings and it didnt work that great either

i had to use dfs to zero out the spc then cdmaws could use it but besides that cdmaws is alot better

way more tutorials

im still getting that radio going up and down

i flash twrp 2.6.3.1 and wiped everything i could several times (which did not wipe /efs because i seen my /DUM dir still there after i did a fresh install of stock MJA)

so i deleted it with dfs

anyhow i have the uscc 4g lte sim card back in phone and im in RUIM_Only and i did the *228 to re-activate the phone and reset it then i called a number)

still going off and on (radio)

wtf is going on here?

i know i got that to stop 2x before but how did i do it????
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
flash a different modem to the phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
Each program has its pros and cons. CDMAWS can do more things than dfs, but dfs is better laid out.

ymmv
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:

to bad it does 10 bad flashed before it does one 80%

Can someone help?

I have a couple of questions. Do I need to do *22890 with the sim card in? without it it says missing sim card even though I set it to nv_only?

Is there a different radio that I can flash to the incredible 4g lte that would give me soback some of the programming settings that seem to be missing ?

Any other secret in getting data even 1x just trying to get the modem to turn on and stay on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nomar116:
Thanks for the help so far guys. Viper, nice work with the Moto G. I would have waited to pick one of those up but didn't see it happening so quickly...!

I flashed my Verizon Galaxy S3 to PagePlus successfully for talk and text. I get intermittent data with a data icon always present at the top of the home page. I am using DFS and CDMA 2.7. I only have the demo version of CDMA 3.9 (I'm not going to be doing this for money so don't want to spring for it). I can not get the Mode Pref to stick. I am trying to set CDMA only but every time I reset the phone it returns to CDMA/HDR/LTE.

I am on PRL 60007, the status page shows: Network - Unknown, Mobile Network Type- EVDO (or sometimes RTT), In Service, Not Roaming and Mobile Network sometimes showing connected.

Two other questions:

1. When I find a 3g donor phone for pulling keys is that phone no longer usable? Or could I use a friends phone and hand it back to him with him none the wiser? :o

2. I have a sim card but its not installed right now. To use that sim card would I have to reflash the phone? Or should I just look into modding the phone to get rid of all the "no sim card" stuff?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
i was having problems with the phone radio resetting and i seen in dfs cdma tool the "NV" tab had a "Reset RF" but also there was a "Local" and a "Server" box to the middle right so i clicked server and seen my phone there.

SCH-R530 for us cellular so i wrote that file

didnt change much that i noticed

still had the radio resetting off and on.

but i have big problem

my MEID on TW under about device>status is different then on dfs took "programming>general>meid"

what did i do wrong or better yet how do i fix it?

the meid on my sticker matches the one in programming/general/meid

where is the one coming from in about device status?

OK so I got data working, but..... the 3g icon is only on when its connected to 1x,when it switches to evdo it will disconnect the data, is that the way its supposed to be without keys? It will also go to digital roaming with the triangle and disconnect, is that supposed to be the case? Im not quite sure why it is switching between the evdo, 1x and roam within my house but it is. It is a connection issue though I do not believe it is cycling or anything.

Once activated on PP if you move to another phone number do you need to pull the keys again? I think I read somewhere that this is the case.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
new keys are generated when OTAP occurs. *228, *22800, *22801, *22890 will cause new keys to generate.

changing esn will not generate new keys, it is safe to (and sometimes refered to as a "data reset") change the esn of the device attached the phone number and then change it right back (via customer service or dealer portal).

convoluted edit: why is it called a data reset? because, sometimes a phone will continue to hold a data connection after an "ESN Change" request has been issued and the new device attached to the account will not be able to receive any sort of data. when this happens, the proper way to force the old device to drop its data connection is to remove it further by changing the esn one more time. it's easier to see than to explain. old phone = has 3g and not talk, text. new phone has talk, text, no data. change esn via portal, change again, new phone will work with talk, txt, mms, web, old phone will not work anymore.

and

yes, bad keys/no keys causes exactly what you suspect and describe

. do you have a donor? it looks like you are close to having it fully flashed. i didn't go back to re-read the thread, but i'm guessing the phone is a uscc variant?

I got a Sprint S4 L720 last week and finally made the swap tonight. It's running MJA and I've got everything programmed, but only getting 1x data. I thought I read that the Sprint S4 is different that the Sprint S3 on getting data. I've got all good keys and I'm using Profile 0 just like on the Sprint S3. Any ideas?

EDIT: Ok... I got it working. I did the SIM unlock so I had set the Pref Mode to CDMA_GSM_WCDMA. I set to the standard CDMA_IS95 and 3G now works great! ;) Any suggestions on how to change the SPC. DFS allows you to do it on the S3, but doesn't take on the S4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zaq123:
Another way to get the old phone to drop the connection is to get verizon/whoever else to refresh the line. This works but can be annoying till you get someone willing to do it without going through a bunch of steps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
Wrong thread bro ;)

I appreciate the input tho, and ya, vzw support does the same thing, they dummy out the esn (they have an official list of dummy esns), then put your esn back on the line.

Edit: the real "proper way" is to pull the battery from the old device, but sometimes that is not always possible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zaq123:
Got everything working . All I needed was the data reset.. thanskfor all the info is this thread I think i read about 200 of the pages.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdrogers84:
Well, looks like it's my turn to get a data reset.

[MENTION=496706]zaq123[/MENTION] were you getting any connection prior to the data reset?

EDIT: did a data reset to no avail, cant get data to connect. This is after I had it so that without keys 3G would connect on 1X but not on evdo, so I am thinking that my Data Tab in DFS is not right.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zaq123:
Absolutely nothing and i was completely perplexed since i have done many phones before and never had an issue. I thought maybe it had something to do with the phone being a sim based lte and the nv-only wasn't taking .

After reading through this whole thread I am still clueless how viper32 gets data without a donor.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdrogers84:
Once again this is on a Sprint GS3 Sph L710.

Baseband is on mk5 (it was a zact mobile phone) and buildnumber on rom that I flashed has the mk3, should this matter?

What does YOUR Data Tab look like in DFS? Please put a pic in your reply. Does the PPP on the right need to be checked in order to refer to the PPP on the left? Also I see a lot of Pap pw as samsung? is that what it should be?

I know this link is talking about boost/virgin but they are using the imei as some of the PW?

Even more important than just what boxes should I check is what does each box mean PAP, PPP, HDR AN, HDR AN LONG, HDR AN PPP and how do they work on the PP network, If anyone knows please enlighten us..... [MENTION=1573711]Viper32[/MENTION] ;)

EXAMPLE- the hdr an long refers to

that allows

PPP and HDR AN Long are the only two that need the keys (same key for both) on PP or Selectel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdrogers84:
Thanks, are the other ones put in during the "handshake"? Therefore if I (while attempting to be a professional flash master) write different data into those fields

PAP, HDR AN and HDR AN PPP

they would be messed up, causing me to not have data?

Could someone verify this by actually trying it?............................................................... [MENTION=1573711]Viper32[/MENTION]
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
u need the AAA and ha keys to get the data to work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
This is one of the reasons I do not recommend or endorse DFS. People go messing with items that's are not necc. and either cause themselves more issues or get strange behaivor. I know you guys want to save money but for anyone that wants to even attempt to become good at flashing the first step is to buy CDMA Workshop. Its $108.00 and works great and keeps you away from some of the items you really do not need to mess with. I use it on a regular basis on some phones but most phones I only use my custom scripts.

DFS is good for certain things I guess but I can count on one hand how many times I have used it in the last several months. It would have to be a last resort thing for me as I find it has issues at times with writes and also reads things incorrectly also at times.

Well he just asked about THAT particular page :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdrogers84:
I am using AAA and ha keys pulled from a donor I also have the PPP and HDR an long pulled, and everthing should be in the right spot on dfs. So the reason i asked about the data tab in my previous post is because i think i have changed other stuff that isn't allowing the correct stuff to work. sorry if that wasn't clear.
