ahh i see now but i looking for the specific apk.

the "system update app" is like saying the hands free activation app....

pretty generic when looking for the apk

gpz had good idea about seeing whats running with some utility

a utility like those kill all processes or something?

im rooted so it would probably be easier for me just to rename the apk if anyone knows the exact name so i can rename it :)

i tried renaming a few but it always comes back on.

i read somewhere that i might need to wipe dalvik after i disable/rename the apk.

anyone know if this is also true?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
u use titanium backup pro to freeze it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
No sorry was to busy flashing devices all evening. I will try to look today. I have a US Cellular S5 here I can look at.....

Shadow On its way ;)

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
ill be waiting and also searching to see if i can find out what it is.

if anyone else wants to tell me its ok as it will also free Viper32 up.

what is shadow?

---------- Post added at 09:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 AM ----------

i think in titanium backup you are reading the generic/default name.

does it have an option to view the actual apk you are talking about and if so can you read it and let me know what it is?

im going to dload and install a free version and take a look for "system update" and try and find name too

---------- Post added at 09:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 AM ----------

i renamed setup wizard apk but its still trying to OTAP or hands free activation.

i wiped dalvik with that apk renamed and it still does it. so its not that one.

gonna try settings provider.apk next and also wipe dalvik

well dont do settings provider.apk because system just tries to boot up and just stays on the uscc screen.

lol this is fun.

all these pros in here and no one knows the apk off hand?

if i flashed phones im sure i would know it.

renaming downloadprovider and downloadproviderUI didnt fix it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
u need titanium back up pro to freeze the system update app

hello everyone again. So i been trying to flash my phone and i been using this video off of youtube and when i get to read the cave settings i get 3 errors

get a_key cps error bad param

any help would be much appreciated

shouldnt titanium backup root still show the name when i type "system" in the backup/restore tab?

the only thing that shows up is "System UI"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
I do not have a blank sim card to try to fix your issue. All the ones I have are used units. Will see if some of my Dealer friends have any new ones.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
crap all i have is new ones and all you have is used ones :)

i could just order a few used ones off ebay and it would solve my problem but now im just wondering how to disable that activation.

it was easy on sprint s4.

i think it was sprintdm.apk or something like that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] soleil0524:
hello everyone. I just wanted to let everyone know that I have gotten my Sprint Note 2 successfully flashed to work with P+, I dont have 3g right now but i think i will be able to live without or find a fix for that. I want to htank everyone who helped me out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Great to hear......

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] supermaxkato:
en11gma, if your note has the hidden DM menu, you can just uncheck the HFA (hands free activation) box.

Use this app from google play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viper.prlhelperfree

*Notice on the google play app pictures that it shows one with the "Enable HFA" box option.

Does this app pull it up on your note?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SPORTSMAN70003:
That worked on my Sprint Note 3. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
man i was really hoping mine had hidden dm and it does not.

i have a sprint GS4 and it did have hidden dm but on the sprint gs4 the correct apk to free was SprintDM.apk to stop hands free activation if i remember correctly.

Viper32 said he knows how to disable it but he just needs a blank sim card to test it out.

still waiting patiently :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
Check your /system/priv-app folder for the Sprint DM apk...Use root file explorer.

This information may or may not apply to the software version and phones in question.

It worked for an HTC One that I did a couple weeks back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
That want work on US Cellular devices. Just with some Sprint phones it will work.

Most likely only the Notes, I know it does not work on the S4...

Does anyone have any experience with the Cricket s4 R970C running 4.4.2? I've got it flashed to pageplus with talk/text/1xdata, but when I put a verizon sim ( new or used I've tried both) I get either an error saying can't find sim or I lose the network altogether. Has anyone gotten this phone on 3g running kitkat?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Yes I flashed one about 2 weeks ago nothing special, I did it remotely so they may have had a cricket sim in it do not know. All worked 3G and all.....

4G LTE sims from Page Plus coming in Oct 2014!!!!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
It's official! We're very excited to announce that the much-anticipated 4G LTE network is coming to Page Plus Cellular in October!

We just wanted to officially let you know this exciting news that has been rumored for quite some time.

We don't have all the specific details just yet to share with you, but as new information becomes available we'll let you know via additional emails and training materials.

Please don't call the dealer relations team with questions about 4G LTE, as the internal training materials are still being developed, and our CSRs will not have the answers to your questions.

Stay tuned to your email and the dealer portal for more details as they become available.

We can share this with you now:

With the exception of The 12 plan, all other monthly plans will be available for 4G devices, at 4G LTE data speeds, with no increase in the monthly plan prices. 3G service will also still be available for all plans. Upon device activation, our system will detect the device type and assign it to 3G or 4G service accordingly.

4G LTE SIM cards will be Page Plus specific. They will be available through your Master Agent in October.

Again, additional details will be announced soon - we just wanted to share the good news with you, our valued dealers, first.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Cuemusic:
Few questions with the 4g stuff... I'm sure not either are answerable yet.

Does the device need to be a Verizon device to work with the sim card?

Will a flashed device need to be un-flashed or re-flashed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Verizon phones only for 4G.....

Depends on the phone, most Verizon phones a factory reset will do the trick, but that depends on how it was flashed to start with.

Or if preferred flashed back so you will not have to be reset.....

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slaxsjb:
Well I was hoping there was a way to do it without having to get a cricket sim, (they are getting kind of expensive!) I don't even know where I would get a used one if that was what I needed.

I've flashed a few of these r970c's but this is the first one running kitkat.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dmonleo:
The game just changed...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Nah it has not changed, Still allot of people will buy and flash over Sprint etc. devices.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dmonleo:
Will the flashed devices be able to reach reach 4G speeds?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] catnapped:
Nope.

So apparently there's no rush if you want to register a "new" 4G device on a "non-qualifying" plan as they're still going to allow flashed devices (at least what's permitted in the system).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
I have had over 150 messages since yesterday afternoon....

So I can try to answer here in the forum and not try to respond to each person I am going to say what I know as of now.....

When Page Plus starts the 4G sometime in October what are the requirements?

1. Must be a Verizon 4G phone (Sprint / USCellular will not work with 4G)

2. You will need a Page Plus sim card that will be available soon.

3. You can only use 4G on the 29.99, 39.99, 55.00, 69.99 Plans only

4. You can still flash a 4G phone to be used on paygo accounts and or the 12.00 plan

5. Sprint, Alltel, USCellular phones are still allowed at this time to put on the system and flashed for use.

I will update more later.

I have heard mixed information about non-Verizon devices on Page Plus after October.

Are all non-Verizon 4G devices banned from Page Plus completely starting October 1st, or just banned from using 4G LTE?

Can I still flash a Sprint / USCC phone to Page Plus and have 3G using the old method after October 1st?

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
There has not been any Date given when this new blacklist will begin. I am sure we will get a few weeks notice before it happens. Best bet is don't worry about it for now. I honestly do not look for it to happen until maybe December id then.

USC GS3 won't reboot after app update

Viper,

You flashed my USC GS3 for Seletel a long time ago (been working great by the way).

Last night I did a normal app update (update all) when my phone rebooted (as has happened before with some updates) .. but it doesn't ever boot up. It's just stuck in the reboot.

It's not boot looping .. it's just staying on the animated boot screen. I've left it going for over an hour in some tries.

Is there anything I can do to get it 'reset' to boot without losing my flash? I have TWRP as my recovery and can get into there.

Any help you can give me would be great .. as I guess I can't not flash a new phone to Selectel with the new crappy Verizon policy.

I am running a LiquidSmooth ROM (but it has been working great for over a year now.

Thanks!

Page Plus 4G LTE Update

New policy regarding ALL (3G and 4G) activations: When 4G launches, all new activations and port-ins will require that a plan PIN be applied to the new account at the time of activation. In the case of port-ins, the PIN will be in a reserved state until the port completes.

In conjunction with the above, we will no longer provide a complimentary $2.00 credit on the account at activation.

Compatible LTE devices and Page Plus SIM cards are required for Page Plus 4G LTE. LTE devices from other carriers will not work. For more information on compatible devices, please contact dealer support.

ESN swaps: You will NOT be able to perform an ESN swap between a 3G device and a 4G device. You WILL be able to do a 3G-to-3G swap, and a 4G-to-4G swap (simply by swapping the SIM cards).

The importance of power cycling: When making any changes to the account of a 4G device, it will require power cycling the device to get the changes to go through.

Temporary numbers: We will no longer be using temporary phone numbers to port in, for both 3G and 4G. The plan PIN from a port-in activation will be held until the port completes, then applied, rather than moving a plan/balance from a temporary number.

Device upgrades/downgrades: Upgrading from a 3G to a 4G device, and downgrading from a 4G to a 3G device, will not impact the active plan or expiration date. This applies to customers staying on the SAME PLAN and just upgrading/downgrading their device.

With the exception of The 12 plan, all other monthly plans will be available for 4G devices, at 4G LTE data speeds, with no increase in the monthly plan prices. 3G service will also still be available for all plans. Upon device activation, our system will detect the device type and assign it to 3G or 4G service accordingly.

Sorry all for asking these questions - but I am quite desparate.

Can I do a factory reset in TWRP and still keep my ROM and flash to Selectel.

I sure hope Viper - or someone would respond.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shelnian:
Did you create a backup before updating? If not, reflash the ROM you are using. You will probably need to accomplish a factory reset, but try without doing so first. I haven't lost a flash to PP when flashing a custom ROM, but I have learned that custom ROMs are not easy to work with and have the issues you are having. Recommend flashing back to the carrier ROM, rooting, and removing system apps that you don't want. I have found this works for me and eliminates custom ROM issues. Make sure not to remove critical system apps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goldentuna:
Thank you for responding .. I guess I should have remembered this - but it's been a long time and I didn't want to mess up my flash.

I did re-flash the ROM and am building my apps back.

Thanks again!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SPORTSMAN70003:
Yes you can transfer your number and service to it. If you decide to use the page plus sim it can be unflashed. If you need it flashed send me a pm.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] njdan30:
Like I said he messaged me I offered give a hand since ntelos is super easy to do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shelnian:
Yes you can flash your phone number from one phone to another. Your phone number and time/data are associated with your account, not your phone. If you request an ESN change from page plus, then your phone number and time transfers automatically to the new ESN.

I would recommend that any time your phone is stolen, you immediately change your ESN/MEID to your backup phone (I always keep a backup phone). This will protect you from someone depleting your data and minutes. If you find your phone, then all you have to do is ask page plus to change your ESN/MEID back.
