I'm not new to flashing, just new to the Verizon side. Pretty knowledgeable on sprint

As with the other poster in this thread, I'm just confused how no donor is needed. That boggles my mind.

Isn't one pulling keys from the donor and writing it back to the new device?

I don't need help flashing, just curious about this method... Perhaps someone can pm me?

Looks like this info doesn't want to be spread publicly.

Next G. Is 60 bucks unlimited everything including data however I believe after 2 to 5 GB, you get throttled. This month, is it possible to port my number to Next G?

How long does it take to get dealer portal on next g? And I've never gotten any money from activating new numbers on page plus. I thought they paid u! Not a big deal but just curious....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gadget069:
I'm curious if they're like straight talk, I want even close to 1 gig and was all Internet no streaming and was throttled.

Get this

It shows the actual state of your connection.

My guess is you're getting booted from the evdo side... likely for authentication reasons.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Mopar,

Please remove my dropbox links from your OP, I left you message there. If people want to use them and ask to do so I will most likely authorize it but doing so without I will start killing dropbox links daily to scramble them. Just asking for credit where its due.

Sprint S3...EVDO signal drifting in and out. CDMA readings on that other app are relatively stable but the EVDO numbers are all over the place (works one minute, dropped the next)

Call me stupid, You need to reactivate for the prl to stick? I am on PP with a sprint s3 do I have to call pp to do this?

I was able to change the prl on my sprint htc evo 4lte that I have on PP. but for some reason can not get one to stick on the s3. Any help would be great

After reading post after post I found the step I was missing. Got it all loaded now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] catnapped:
I found something rather odd...fetched a new set of keys yesterday after an ESN reset with my donor (Fascinate). Using DFS to do the deed, I get one hex key right off with the "Enter Value in HEX" box checked (checked as default). If I uncheck the box to see the 'gibberish' view of the key then check the box again, I get a different (albeit similar) hex key. The gibberish variant stays the same though. So this is what it looks like:

default hex key = gibberish = 'different' hex key

So is the original one correct or the second one (or should I just copy/paste over the gibberish version and not worry about the hex key?)

(EDIT: snooped through the NV items on the Fascinate and it appears the SECOND version of the key is what's written in there. So why is it giving me a wrong one at first?)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vettejock99:
So I have a chance to get a S4 cheap, but to offset the cost I need to sell my "Viper'ed" S3. I expect I'll need to get it back on Verizon to do that most easily, as I'll move my number to the new phone and they'll have to flash it regardless.

If I flash one of the stock Verizon RUU files to my S3 will it function normally on Verizon or is there something else I need to do to ensure the buyer doesn't have any problems?

Looking forward to my S4 on PP experience!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boostberry09:
Viper you great at what you do and you have been very helpful to me a few months back and I wanted to know if you could make a short guide to tell us how to make the no sim notification go away on vzw phones I see the line of code in the tools you posted but I have no clue what to do? Thanks so much man
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gadget069:
Add this line to the system/build.prop

ro.config.donot_nosim=true

It worked on my sprint s4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boostberry09:
Did you add it with efs explorer because when I try I get an error and it will not let me save
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gadget069:
Make sure the drive is mounted read/write

I am rooted but it acts like it is a read only file?

Is the sid really that important?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
^^In terms of what?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Yes.............

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dmonleo:
The SID and that darn PRL. The freakn MSL...they be like what is that. I definitely see why "you" should be charged to get provisioned........
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] funone46:
I have read that the home sid is not as important as the prl. Just wondering if that's correct? I am in michigan and have a toledo sid.

Checked my verizon /pp phone and that has the same toledo sid as my sprint flashed s3's.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
Home sid just helps the phone connect faster when in the home sid region. If it can't connect to it, it goes through the prl trying to connect to the next sid in the priority list.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] funone46:
Thanks viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Home SID stands for HOME System Identification. What this number does is pretty much tells the phone what tower to get signal off of. Each market in the us is assigned a HOME SID. The home Sid must match with the PRL you use because if it does not match the phone will grab no service and go into roaming.

Its important to use the proper Sid in my eyes so that you get reliable connections.............

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] funone46:
Again great information thanks again viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vettejock99:
Viper, any word on my prior question about how to get my S3 back to Verizon before I pick up my S4 tomorrow or Monday?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
You can Odin it with radio and all and do a factory reset and all should be ok.

Sorry missed your question......

Viper

On the Sprint S3 (for PP) does anything have to go into the PAP, HDR AN and HDR AN PPP fields (data tab)? For those, my donor Fascinate only gave me "0000000016@vzw3g.com" for the HDR AN fields (no pw). PAP and HDR AN PPP are blank.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dmonleo:
Ummm did you activate your ESN/imei with p+, then do *228...and then connect to internet prior to reading keys?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] catnapped:
Yep...that's what I had afterward.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dmonleo:
I would ask P+ to reset data. Then try again.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] catnapped:
Under "EVDO SCP Option" (DFS), is any of that supposed to be checked off? This phone (Sprint S3) is royally annoying me with reception issues so I'd been looking for ANYTHING in there that can be configured to help out. Strangely enough, I checked off the "Active Config -- Rev A" option at the bottom (which checked off a bunch of the other boxes) and the EVDO connection seems to hold now. By default only the BCMCS option was clicked so not sure what it should be. Also getting 200+k down inside the house where it was bouncing between little and no connection before (hmmmm). Anyone know the function of some of those options that get checked off by "Rev A" (doesn't seem to be much info around anywhere)?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sfcwtu:
solution

Finally got my verizon note2 connected to DFS and flashing was straightforward from there. Instead of the SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port, I connected to DFS via the SAMSUNG HSP PLUS MODEM. I am posting my solution in case someone has a similar problem (see my previous post below):

1. enable the hidden menu from dialer;

2. install and open the PhoneUtil app Viper posted, open port map menu and choose USB for ETS channel. Then open diag menu and choose PDA and then DM+MODEM+ADB in Qualcomm USB Setting;

3. dial *#7284# from dialer, choose PDA for UART and MODEM for USB;

4. install the SAMSUNG drivers;

5. connect note2 to pc, then add the Samsung HSP plus modem driver by following instructions at INTF2 Driver Install);

6. open DFS, add the active port, and the phone should be connected.

Some of the steps above may not be necessary. But that's what I did to make mine work. Hope it helps. If you find it useful, donation is NOT encouraged. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
You are the only one I have seen had trouble connecting to the Sprint Nite 2. I flash many of them daily and never once had this issue. I suspect you have done driver issues also, that could be part of your issues.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sfcwtu:
I'd say I am lucky :crying: . I tried different computers both desktops and laptops with fresh installations of different drivers. It all had the same problem. So I was like 99% sure it wasn't a driver issue, but have no idea what the problem was. Maybe verizon note2 is a little different? I dunno. Well, I am so glad I found a way out. :cyclops:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:

Warning:

Straight Talk S3 Phone will not flash....

So if you happen to get chance at one you probably want to pass it by. I have had a forum members here with me for a few days and I have yet been able to crack this thing. I can get it in diag mode but the MSL is locked out like no other. Also the 16 digit pass is different than any others. So just a warning for any of you thinking of buying one to flash over.

***Yes I even tried to ODIN it to Sprint and that will not work either*** Fails everytime.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FLASHEDSMARTPHONES:
I've been working on one for a couple days myself..You will probably have to install a custom recovery and flash the sprint rom that way. I haven't tried it yet as it looks to be about a fifty fifty chance it will brick the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mxracer33x:
From what I have read from all the S3 flashing threads I can drag up, it is normal for a Verizon S3 to have no 3G indicator and the No Sim Warning after a full flash? (also "No Sim Card | Emergency Calls Only" on Lock screen)

Speeds are Slow compared to my Razr M but they are 300k-1Mb, so reasonable.

Couple Questions?

I had no issues with MMS working on the stock messaging app. Why would this be if it seems to be trouble for everyone else?

In DFS why wont changes to the Pref Mode: under Preferred Settings stick? It always goes back to LTE_CDMA_HDR_WLAN after a reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
y would anybody burly the straight talk version of the s3 its on the sprint towers ..somebody that has that might as well go to boost

I think you can pull the NV items (you'd need 466, 1192 and 1194 IIRC) from the E4GT to verify that the keys are actually in there. Hopefully you wrote or copy/pasted the keys from your donor somewhere!

Did I brick my Sprint gs3???

Hey everybody,

I'm really needing help with this phone! I downgraded the modem to change spc to 0's, then upgraded to md4 modem. Connected phone to DSF to check settings but got a flashing CSF ERROR on first screen. Tried to enter spc, but error was still flashing. I shut DSF down & disconnected phone. Now I have no service & all info under "about phone" is missing! Baseband version, network, mobile network type, phone number, MIN, PRL version, MEID, ICCID all say "unknown." I have tried factory restore through Odin, flashing different modems through CWM & Odin, & Kies recovery. I've done nand backups, but still no signal. Home screen says "Searching for service" & shows O with a line through it. I can't access the programming menu through ##3284# because neither the 000000 or factory msl is working. *#06# is blank. :crying:I'm pissed now b/c Viper was gonna flash the phone for me, but I gotta try to fix this mess first! Any suggestions on how to correct this? I'm really praying that it isn't bricked!!!
