hotspot still isnt showing on other devices

will Ktoonezkernel work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] daCLOUD:
Yes, sir! KT kernel is a good choice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nike0518:
just flashed ktoonez w/blazer & still cant see the hotspot

I even tried different settings & not a single sign of the hotspot on my Chromebook. Does the tether also support ap-mode or only ad-hoc bc I think my Chromebook doesn't support ad-hoc ,but then again i got Linux/Ubuntu installed on my Chromebook so that shouldn't be a problem.

I see my neighbors router and my router ,but not my hotspot.

Do you know what specific version of the app & settings i should get ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] daCLOUD:
App supports ad-hoc mode. Does your wireless card support ad hoc? Ubuntu does not have good support for this connection.

From the main tether screen, try going to Menu->Setup->Menu->Reinstall binaries/configs.

Still having trouble...try connecting using bluetooth for tethering instead of wifi.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] njdan30:
Have u tried Wi-Fi tether app? I use the one for rooted phone yellow one I can send to u if u need I'm on flashed us cellular s3 to ntelos. With touch wiz works fine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] danik133:
After the phone is restarted the no SIM notification came back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nike0518:
sorry if this a stupid question but how do ienable bluetooth tethering in the app?

I don't see any option related to bluetooth other than "Don't disable bluetooth" ...

Advice or help please

I had a great guy that does page plus flash my Sprint Galaxy Note 2 SPH-L900 to PagePkus. Awesome reception and no roaming so far. However I have a very large problem still. 3g worked great in his area but not at all in any other area it seems. I was reading this thread and it had great info. However I'm no good at actually troubleshooting phones. Any direct advice or a remote support session would be great.

help please

I just rooted my sch-r530 and am stuck. I am new to this. the s3 was my second root but I am at a loss trying to flash to gsm. I am shooting for straight talk but I heard about the 2g data and backed off. I am trying to find who would be best to switch to without losing too much use of my phone. even flashing to page plus is ok but I am stuck. I am having trouble finding my next step and people who know. if someone could help I would greatly appreciate it. as I said I have a rooted us cellular s3 trying to flash to page plus or straight talk. whichever is easiest at this point is really my goal bc I have had so much trouble this far. I have read nearly everything I could find on this subject and none of the dial menus are working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
U need a donor to get your phone working on straight talk.with 3g..GSM u only getting 1x
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
You're in laurinberg, pretty much the best region in the country to get page plus support, tho I can't think of a single dealer in your area that knows what they are doing (definitely not cell phones etc.). I would PM Viper32 if I were you, will save you much time and $$$
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rjdhill:
stand up guy that viper

i just wanted to give a big public thanks to my man viper. i gotta tell you he has to be the most patient guy ive met on xda . not taking anything from anyone . i very seldom ask anyone for help on here . i figure all the info is here for the picking just gotta know where to look. but flash to another carrier is way out of my realm of comfort .

i had problem with a prev flash were i paid someone to flash me to straight talk. it work but often then not i would have low sig and no data . at some point i completely lost data . i need that to check email and other stuff client wise . anyway viper got me completely worked out and switched over . i can only imagine the amount of frustration it had to be for him dealing with all that was wrong with the phone.

my note 2 isnt the only phone hes flashed for me . but it was the biggest pain in the azz im sure.

so viper thank you . thanks to all the guys who keep this going with all the good info and ? .

i got a couple more phones for ya to look at. but im gonna let the smoke clear a little and injoy my new old new phone .lol

hit you friday vipe .pm when done.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boostberry09:
Viper you are the man you helped me a while back do a note 2 and now I have a sprint galaxy s4 and I cant find out how to get the msl please help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Thanks to both of you for the comments. I appreciate it allot.......

Their is a script around that can change the MSL to all zeros for you.

I am not going to post it here as it is not my work but look around its out there....

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boostberry09:
Thanks man I ended up using connectbot and getting it I just did not think connectbot would work because it did not work on s3 on 4.1.2 but s4 on 4.2.2 connectbot will give you the msl using getprop ril.MSL
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shortridge:
Thanks Viper32

I just wanted to give a thanks to Viper for getting my phone all set up with 3g on Next G Mobile. I spent money with other flasher's and they couldn't get me 3g on the Sprint Evo 4G. Viper was able to work through the method and get it done. I have been enjoying the phone ever since. I just want to vouch for his expertise in this area. The guy knows what he is doing. Thanks Viper.

PRL question

Will the PRL listed for Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 work for my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 2 on PagePlus?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
After about 1PM EST, I lost everything on my Verizon GS3 on Selectel. Calling out gave a "can't authorize your device" message. Turned off GS3 and tried to use the Fascinate donor but it did the same and after a factory reset won't activate using *228. On hold with CS now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Well I have no clue, unless its because of a cloned esn or something. I have had zero calls today about any issues..

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Hey bro, I know ya trying to help but lets not offer giving people dummy esns. I want this thread to stay clean, also if someone needs a esn changed they can call Page Plus directly.

One thing I do not want to get started in this thread is cloning/dummy esns and the sort. I do not want that talk to be part of my thread.

Thanks for the offer for help but please refrain from that ;)

2 of my gs3s flashed to Verizon prepaid lost all data usage around 1 too calling and texting works, a 3rd s3s data still works, I flashed each one exactly the same way with donors and will reflash later, I'm guessing Verizon changed the AAA keys for the two phones that lost data
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Thats what I assumed, this would be Verizon Prepaid with cloned esns. I been telling you guys for awhile it was coming. Sorry to see it but unless you have the ability to update passwords then you may be in for a rude awakening with VZW Prepaid.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
All of the Optimus G's I flashed none of them get 3G only 1x because the radio needs to be unlocked. Same as the Optimus S.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
Somehow there was an ESN change requested earlier today on the line that I didn't make. Took the girl 45min but finally got it straight
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] danik133:
Is there any other way to get 3g with phones flashed to Verizon prepaid? Cause I still have the donors and can reflash but I'd like not having to reflash
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] StaticMaal:
So I'm not the only one that has their phone flashed to Verizon prepaid and has no 3g even with a reflash?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] danik133:
I've reflashed and it worked, make sure you go on the internet browser on the donor phone first so it pulls the keys, I had to flash twice before it stuck

Ok guys, It does not bother me but I hear allot of you not liking the no sim card error when flashing some devices that require a Sim.

So I will try to add into one of the main posts how to get around this on TouchWiz based stock Roms.

So post up what you did to make it go away and the 3G Icon work.

I will then put it all together and test and post so everyone can find it more easiliy.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prelude91sit:
my friend got a call from net10 dealer. saying that net10 wants us to flash phones to net10 now. I know net10, tracfone,st ect our owned by the same person even page plus now!! page plus dealer portal will probably disappear soon or later.

well net10 cdma is now open for business to flasher offing unlimited everything for $50

the only reason i really want to make the switch because whether unlimited or not net10 advertises as unlimited data so that makes all the difference with customers. plus is $5 cheaper. anybody else heard of this? not trying to mess up vipers thread but just trying to see as we might have to had net10 to the topic. if so i want to make this transition asap plus you can top up on net10 anywhere!!! even at your local dollar store! another plus

also he told my friend is suppose to be easier to flash to net10 all you need is some code or something. idk

ill believe it when i see it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
if it won't save when manually entering then you need to Factory Reset and/or RTN.

Use CDMA Workshop. With SPR I usually:

1. RTN and reload rom+root+recovery

2. Fix MSL (6x0) and add DMU/10.key

3. Use any VZW PRL (58008) to OTAP

4. Airplane mode, donor time, you must send 16 digit SP before writing. You will only write EVDO tab and make sure to fill in any missing info from Donor. Under MIP, Donor will be set to Mobile + Simple, change this to Simple only, change timeout from 1750ms to 2000ms. Make Profile 0 & 1 active and write everything to both profiles.

5. PRL 52xxx from Viper's OP (post #2) works in Raleigh, NC. the 919 area code could have sid of 69, 578 or 299. depends on where you are and where the number came from.

6. I did an s2 this morning, and used a modified 53166 from the donor and 3g is working.

Some of this may be unnecessary but I found that this method works in the 919
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kdizzleh85:
I would use twrp but get rid of the new releases and you wont have any issues. 2.3.1.0 is http://db.tt/K9pk7zzz the most popular with us. Just use odin and flash this but again this is only for the sprint s3. Just do a little searching for the verizon. Wait found it http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/t0ltevzw/ Goodluck
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
Well guess I can blame the esn change problem on my LTE sim card because it happened again today after I got tired of seeing the no sim message. Had a Thunderbolt and then got a GS3 which came with a new sim card so figured I could use the old one to get rid of the "no sim" message and get the 3g icon back to test while keeping the Thunderbolt on Verizon with the active sim from the GS3. No such luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
Neither phone should require a SIM card, but sadly, neither phone will display a data symbol (3g/1x) without additional modification.

I have not tried using an at&t/t-mo/h20/simple mobile sim, but I have heard mixed reports on this working to get rid of the notification.

I wish I could help you with this, but I've not been able to fix this on either device by using this method or any method in this thread.

I only flash stock (rooted) tw & sense rom's, so i can't vouch for aosp/aokp rom's not having this issue.

One thing: SIM cards hold various programming information and will not fix this bug, not even with a blank SIM (AFAIK a "blank" SIM has a PRL of 00001, MDN & MIN of 0111111111).

Info found on the SIM can include, MDN, MIN, PRL and other information. The information on the RUIM (SIM) will (9 times out of 10) override the settings you have programmed into NVRAM.

I flashed two Optimus G Sprint phones with no problems getting 3G.

Available tonight some if needed.....................

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nevell:
What did you do because I flashed it the same way I would flash any phone and I must say this is the first Sprint phone I've had that wouldn't get 3G?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
edit: nevermind, was thinking about the revolution, wrong phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
Just remembered I had a Net10 sim that I was using a couple months ago and it works fine. Shows a different number under About-Status but doesn't seem to affect anything. Have the 3G icon, "no sim" message is gone and mms works fine using GoSMS and calls/texts appear to be from the correct number.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
I just flashed them normally, easiest phone in the world for diag mode I think.

I did have to use a friend due to not having time to trial my method... And a few other tricks of the trade to get the things I write to stick ;)

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
When calling out what number shows on caller id? Are you sure that the Net10 isn't over-riding your flash?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
The Selectel one so it's showing as correct.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
Nice. I believe there is a build prop edit or settings.db edit that can be used to set/show the proper MIN under About Phone Status. I'll look around for you. Thank you for reporting back. I'm going to try this old vodaphone sim and see if it works now. (sch-i535)

EDIT: Worked perfectly with an unactivated vodaphone (vzw int'l roaming) sim. I also have the build.prop edit applied from a few pages back and i have frozen both setup wizards but not the sim toolkit apk
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] StaticMaal:
So I got my username to stick along with the data settings in Mobile IP. And Under Mobile network type it's switching from EvDo-Rev A:8 then 1xRTT:6. Does that mean by A&H pwds aren't right or is it dealing with something in PAP settings? Do I need to do a update on the GU2 use web then try and add the data stuff again or keeping you know until it's fixed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prelude91sit:
i flashed a verizon lg vs930 yesterday and with this phone and other my razr m i unlocked for any sim both have the option to choose the network type global/cdmalte/gsm gsm and global seem to work the same on allowing me to use the gsm feature. when i switched to cdmalte the flash overrides the sim on the vs930 no 3g with sim in though.

---------- Post added at 03:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 AM ----------

also viper you never responded, either avoided or overlooked. are you using this feature as one of your secrets to help the phone pull in the keys by themselves? thank you

• "A-key chksm calculator" section - you can generate a valid 6-digit checksum for A-key, in this section. This is sometimes required for testing the phone's A-key entry function, as well as for the phone's activation. It used to be possible to obtain a valid A-key with checksum only from the cellular operator itself, now everyone can easily generate the secret checksum value, enter those numbers into the phone just using the phone's keypad. When you want to program the new A-key into the phone over the keypad, you must enter 26 digits (20 digits A-key in Dec + 6-digit checksum). Our A-key checksum calculator supports both ESN and MEID-based (only for CDMA Workshop users) devices (ex. all HTC smartphones).

Guys,

Be careful with some of these latest updates for the S4 phones once you go up no more going down easily that is ;)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] unclev:
I have a Q. about DFS Mobile IP feature - I've tested latest DFS demo with Fascinate, Sprint GN2 (both flashed to PP, with working 3g), and USCC SIII. I can read all 3 alright, but only Fascinate would show anything in AAA and HA shared secret windows, while for the other two galaxies they remain blank after read. Is that expected behavior from DFS?

I get couple errors in the DFS log reading these particular items, the other stuff ( General/NAM/etc) is read mostly error-free:

GET DS_MIP_SS_USER_PROF	CPS_ERROR	BAD_PARAM

GET DS_MIP_DMU_MN_AUTH	CPS_ERROR	BAD_PARAM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] unclev:
I having problem getting even voice working with PP for some reason. I got one of those free PP number/$2 accounts to try, put all the stuff into USCC galaxy s3 NAM (MDN, MIN, SID, PRL), and made sure the phone took it. The phone can send and get SMS from the number, calling #737 gets PP service line, and account balance checks fine, but any time I try to call I get "call can not be completed as dialed". Calling the phone # gets busy signal. Tried donor Fascinate to substitute for s3, got it to to OTA with *22890, but result is the same. The Fascinate takes OTA fine with its original active PP account, but can't dial out with this new account. What can I be missing here? The A-key perhaps is not set correctly?

I'm using latest DFS version, with all the proper keys for each phone and check that it reads and writes everything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] unclev:
P.S. Here's what I'm trying to say - when I use Fascinate to masquerade for s3, it gets all the programming details correct for s3 PP account, including min, mdm, etc, including all the data and mobile IP fields, as I can see in DFS, but it can not call out or in.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
If you writing everything and it is sticking then, you are missing a step somewhere. Otherwise everything would work ;)

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gadget069:
What's going on? I'm on mf9 and SACs rom running smooth. The mf9 update for the Sprint s4 really smoothed it out.

Glad to see ya around buddy........

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gadget069:
Ahhhhhh. Yeah good thing.

Life's been nutz, kid fell on his bike last week and has a serious leg infection.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] unclev:
Viper,

Thanks for reply!

After I tried and tried to activate I stumbled upon the problem with this phone or with the network - the network was hardly giving a chance for PP to activate the s3. 9 times out of 10 when I was attempting to call out, I was given "call can not be completed as dialed". Then once in a blue moon I would get to PP activation prompt "Welcome to your prepaid ...ect.. please dial 1 for english", which would be cut off again with "call can not be completed as dialed". One of those times I was able to dial "1" in time, and the activation went through. Now it has PP instead of VZ when dialing *611 and the calls work.

Did you ever run into such a bizarre behavior?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Yes, thats a USSC problem.... I have ran into that before only with USSC S3 Phones. I bet you are dropping signal in and out right?

Look over your settings again..............

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] unclev:
The voice signal is stable, there's no data, BUT right now it can only make calls, but not receive them - the calls to that phone go to voice mail.

Any hint over which settings I should look in particular?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Ok I have had a few people Message me about my new PC with Windows 8 and if I had any problems doing flashes.

Here is what I can tell you thus far....

No issues at all with any phone I have flashed so far. I have flashed almost all brands in the past few weeks.

The Win 8 Drivers seem to work fine and load much, much faster than Win 7 and down.......

I hate the new look so mine is setup to look and act just like Windows Vista....

The new stupid apk stuff integrated drove me crazy sometimes so i took care of all that (Disabled)

** So unless I get bit in the a-s in the next few days I give it thumbs up for flashing phones **

*And if it does bite me, my Win & machine is sitting here ready to go ;) *

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] unclev:
Tried all the true and tested methods that worked for me with other phones, must be the USCC with latest 4.1.2 ROM quirks. Is it possible to find earlier USCC ROM or would flashing custom ROM fix it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Well I am pretty sure that I have posted somewhere in this post on that phone you must have a USCC Sim card with 4.1.2. If you do not have one then you can downgrade to 4.1.1.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] unclev:
I have uscc sim, but it's the same with it installed. I figure there several 4.1.2 firmwares, maybe this one is particularly bad.
