S4's S3's troubles PagePlus

I am new to this type of communication, but I can see the value...especially if it saves me headaches, and time. I have a Galaxy S3 i535 that I've been trying to get working with PagePlus. I've (in the past) been able to flash several phones without much issue, however it appears that the latest VZW update (ML1) is now somehow preventing changes from being saved. (##DATA#) The User Profile is being saved but nothing under the Advanced Menu, or the "More" menu which contains the MMS related settings. And I have to use either DFS or CDMAWS to change the MDN and MIN because they are not included in the ##DATA# menus now.

2nd problem is, I cannot dial out any number...the phone acts like it's trying to dial, but then returns back with no error message...or will say Mobile Network not availabe.

I'm using SafeStrap 3.71 because the 4.3 (ML1) bootloader is locked of course.

I have been successful in getting several S3's working in the past, but the new updates have changed that...

I would appreciate any help in getting these devices working on PagePlus. I would have PM'd you but dont know how...sorry.

hey yall i just got a sprint s5 pretty cheap but it has a red x/no signal- does anyone have a modem file in .tar format or know where i can find one so i can reflash modem and fix it? its the same thing that i ran into on a note 3 before however i cannot locate any modem files for the s5 yet- thx ahead of time!

This was the test, you failed. Shouldn't have replied brosef.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] surfdawg561:
Ok, I didn't get any responses on this but I figured out how to get it to accept the password for anyone who has the same issue. Put QUALCOMM settings to normal settings (ex. MTP+ADB) and restart the phone. When it boots up changed it to DM+MODEM+ADB and try password again. No idea why it works that way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fireburster:
OK I have tried everything to get data to work. Uscc s3 with mja 4.3. Used gusto 2 to pull keys. Put all that info in the s3. With sim in it bounces from 3g to 1x sim out stays 3g but can't get to web. I can call and SMS but internet does nothing. I'm using the uscc 60008 prl. I put the 10 key in using dfs newest. I have $1.80 left on the account too and the gusto 2 loads the web every time fine. i cant even get 1x data to work. I have the phone set to cmda not lte which i think its right. I tried it either way with same results. Now what?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fireburster:
OK well its working now. I have no clue. I grabbed the gusto 2 and re read the settings. I then wrote them into the s3 added 6008prl and reset. Now i have 3g at the top and did a speedtest 139ping, 1969d/941u.

i think i read through so many tips that i hosed something. I was up till 3:30am working on it which didnt help.

Going on a trip this weekend and wanted to test out coverage before i move my kids and i to page plus.

Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Glad you got it figured out..........

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fireburster:
Should I be on auto or CDMA_HDR or lte_CDMA? Also should my phone say uscell in network settings even though when I call it says welcome to verizon?

Do I need 10.key also? I can't get qpst to install at all. I get DLL errors. I used to use that at my last job daily for flashing phones from sprint to verizon but it just won't install.

I had everything checked and unchecked so many times I have no clue what fixed it. I was going into prl and picked uscell servers and everything.

Which selectel prl is latest？

Hi Viper，

I just flashed my sprint S3 to selectel and want to get data. When I used 53417 prl, I got 3G symbol but had roaming sign. When I used 53263Selectel.prl, there was no data but signal not roaming.

Do you know which prl is the latest for selectel without roaming but can still have data??

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
OK before everyone starts posting all about this let me give a little heads up.....

Rumors are that soon Verizon will be blocking / not allowing any phones on any MVNO's that are not on a approved list......

I want go into to much about it but you can read about it in the link below.....

I will say this as most of you know I am a fairly large Selectel Dealer and this rumor is being told this came from them and I have not hear one single thing about it period.......... I know the guys pretty good at Selectel and hope that they would include me in this if its true.......

Just a heads up, but do not panic yet................

http://www.prepaidphonenews.com/2014/05/developing-verizon-may-block-mvnos-from.html

PS: Just Spoke with Selectel CEO, this does not apply to them at all but he does not know what MVNO's it will, but it is going to happen from what they are being told.............

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:

You will most definitely see it hit Verizon Prepaid before anyone else I would think................

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JR318:
Hey guys I have a sprint GS3 flashed to pageplus. Ever since I purchased the phone I seem to always be roaming with no data and can't make or receive any calls or texts. I took the phone back to the store I bought it from and they reflashed the phone but it didn't help any. So I downloaded a bunch of different prl's and tried several different ones and haven't had much luck finding one to work properly. I had a GS2 before this phone and never had any problems with roaming. The prl I had with the flash from the store I bought the phone from was the same prl number my GS2 has. The GS2 is a USCC phone flashed to pageplus and the GS3 is a sprint phone flashed to pageplus. Not sure if that makes a difference or not. I've tried doing research and figuring this out before seeking help but still no luck. Right now I'm currently using a pretty old prl and it's worked the best of all so far. I live in upstate south carolina and not sure if the prl's are specific for different locations. If anyone has any advice or can help in anyway it would be greatly appreciated. I love my GS3 and just want the signal I had with my GS2. Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
SC has pretty good EVDO (3G) coverage. Sounds like an improper (auto)flash...you might want to ##RTN and start fresh.

Did the phone have 3G before you left the store? If yes, when did it break? If no, why did you leave the store? I hope the flash was free.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JR318:
Yes the phone has 3g when it's not roaming. And works great when not roaming. I've also noticed that when I'm driving down the road and the phone goes into roaming I usually have to put in airplane mode and turn back off to reset the network before it switches back to 3g. Not sure if that makes any sense or not. It's like it doesn't switch out of roaming on it's own at times. When I was using the GS2 there was only one spot that I can recall ever having the phone go intto roaming the entire 2+ years I used the phone. Now with the GS3 no matter where I go the phone goes in and out of roaming. The store I bought the phone from buys their phones mainly from closing retail phone stores and buys in bulk. They carry all brand phones and flash to pretty much all the different no contract providers. My GS3 was a new sprint GS3 but it was made in 2011-2012. I don't know anything about flashing phones and thought my best option was to buy from them knowing it was a new phone. The initial flash when purchased and the reflash was both free because I was on pageplus already with the GS2 and payed my bill at that store every month. The store is infinity mobile in easley sc if that helps any.

I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 running ML1 4.3 Jelly Bean. I flashed the phone myself, and I've done it with 2 other S3 I535 phones successfully. For some reason, this one is giving me fits...If I try to dial anything, all I get is silence. Phone number, *611, Voicemail, all are silent with no dial tone or sound at all during the call.

I tried Odin'ing the stock firmware, but that didn't seem to do anything. I am using the same PRL I used on other successful flashes. The MEID has already been swapped to PP. Any ideas on where I may have messed this up?

For those on with a Sprint S3 on ND8 (kitkat)...

How did you re-flash once ODIN-ing your phone?

I re-flashed my S3 today, and I noticed that the phone can't be read by QPST unless you are on the LG2 radio. I used QPST to copy over the 10.key file; you also need QPST to change the SPC to 000000.

If you ODIN to ND8, wouldn't your phone no longer be readable by QPST? Therefore disabling your ability to copy the 10.key file and change the SPC?

I also noticed that my values in DFS wouldn't write (PRL, 3G keys, etc.) on the modem I was on (MG2 - this is a VM radio, not sure if that matters); DFS seemed to confirm writing, but the phone did not agree. After flashing to LG2 radio, all went fine, and now phone works 100% 3G.

As the bootloader is locked on ND8, how does one get their phone to be properly read/write by QPST & DFS when on ND8?

So I got a Sprint S3 today that I planned on flashing,I come to find out its has been fully updated to 4.4 kit kat,when i write none of the settings stick? can anyone help?(i know how to flash but I am having trouble with this cause of 4.4)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] beezie42:
I am still able to write prls and settings stick by using a 4.3 rom.

DONT Odin back to 4.3 or you will super brick. Use a custom recovery and install a custom 4.3 touchwiz rom. YMMV
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dirkdigles:
Settings = 3G keys etc? Via DFS?

---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------

Hey - please update if you're able to get your re-flash to stick! I use the donor (fascinate) + DFS method, you use the same / similar?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] imme2007:
the reason I quit messing with it is cause of Knox and such,i dont want to brick it,so as long as I dont ODIN I will be fine? Custom recovery(such of CWM or Philz) is fine? It doesnt have a custom recovery on right now,can I ODIN a custom recovery on it? will that mess it up? thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dirkdigles:
I think this thread will answer most of those questions -

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2743554

AFAIK, once you're on the ND8 firmware, you can ODIN a custom recovery (and also root via that recovery; PhilZ is reported to be the most reliable). You can use the custom recovery to flash other roms, but you cannot flash pre-ND8 modems, and you also cannot ODIN anything pre-ND8, as your phone will be bricked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] beezie42:
Works perfectly fine using cdma workshop paid. I'm sure dfs will work just as well.

Not really a upgrade from a S3 in my opinion though. To many limitations.

Go with the S4 or a LG G2 both great phones for use with Page Plus.. (My opinion)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Yes very good device for use with Page Plus.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] untruestory:
Agreed. Looking at the specs it only has half the RAM my s3 has. One of my issues is for work I have to load large spreadsheets that slow it down so much it's unusable.

Looking at the s4 I may as well get an s5. Is there something in between without a locked bootloader that's easy to flash?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
The Boot-loader being locked does not matter when it comes to flashing the S4 or S5. Some devices require root to flash but neither of these devices do.

I'll try loading up a larger spreadsheet on a Moto G today...I don't think the lack of RAM will negatively effect the performance, given how robust the rest of the phone is - the Hynix chips are quite fast, as is the quad-core CPU and the Adreno GPU. That plus the slimmed down AOSP style ROM make this one quick little bugger. But again, just my opinion. I'll have to look at some real world and synthetic benchmarks.

How does the Moto X or G2 stack up (performance wise) to an S4/S5 ? Anyone have any experience with these devices?

G2 does pretty well, the Moto X you have to be careful as the only one that can be used on Page Plus is the Sprint Model.

Nah. This was yesterday morning. Around Fayetteville NC and the little towns outside of it. The issue resolved itself by noon.

A new PRL was being put out by OTAP and I guess it wasn't fully recognized because first call after OTAP resulted in a verizon (womans voice) error message switch number blah blah blah not authorized blah blah blah. I'm not sure what happened - they had some bad storms the night before so...

Maybe it was just coincidence..but I don't believe in that sort of thing.
