sorry for assuming you had a 4g lte phone....i was just trying to help...my bad.

I think I have one of those in a drawer somewhere, I'll try to find it and read it with DFS or QPST sometime this coming week and send you a file (if viper can't get to it first)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nicene Nerd:
Sorry if I sounded wrong, I was just kind of speaking matter-of-factly. I appreciate the help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
Is the phone associated with an active sprint account? If not, provisioning will fail.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nicene Nerd:
This one isn't, but the last one I had this problem on was registered with FreedomPop. This is useful information, though.

Also, what error message would I get because of that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dirkdigles:
Bad news guys -

According to CNexus, the new official kitkat (ND8) rom requires the ND8 firmware, "mainly the bootloader," to boot.

At this point it isn't clear once installing the new ND8 firmware whether you're able to flash an older modem (i.e. LG2) to flash the phone, or if the firmware would screw up the 16-digit passwords as well and therefore not allow flashing.

I'm not sure if I understand this 100% correctly; looking for a few clarifications from CNexus, also curious what others have to say in this thread.

EDIT: although if people can flash an S5 (which already has knox etc.) to PP, perhaps this isn't all that big of a deal?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:

As a reminder, thanks to Viper32 and the others on here giving valuable input and tips. I'm still scared to attempt to flash my phone myself. My home computer sucks, so I couldn't get Viper32 to remotely flash my new Sprint Note 3 to Page Plus.

The local tech who flashed 2 Sprint Galaxy S3s with MMS and 3G data working fine for almost a year now has tried twice and I need to go back a third time to hopefully get 3G data on the Sprint Note 3 that he flashed Friday. The first attempt, I had no data, the second attempt gave me data on the Sprint Note 3, but only 1x. This stuff ain't easy...even for some pros.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] njdan30:
my ntelos s3 (generic cdma 3g only variant)was a pain in a$$ like that, but never had any issues with vzw,sprint or uscellular versions. I eventually got it a day or 2 later just trial and error using dfs and other programs. Hope you get it worked out. (Yes I know you said note 3) have a great night all

The Note 3 can be a little bit of a pain for some people. I fix them every week here locally where flashers mess them up ;)

But then again I fix allot of phones every week here that other flashers have messed up..............

Quick question: I accidentally used the 4.3 .tar file for the S3 and Odin'd it to my S4 Mini. Within about 15 seconds, Odin has a big red FAIL showing, but the phone is still hung on "Downloading... Do not turn off target !! "

It's been sitting for 15 minutes. What's gonna happen??

EDIT: Whew. Seems OK. Waiting to D/L correct version now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dirkdigles:
So ... anyone upgraded (ODIN) to ND8 yet?

If so, would the MSL stay the same (if you've zeroed it out)? 16-digit passwords? Still flashable?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Should not change the MSL..... Even if it does the MSL app stil works on 4.4.2 ...............

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dirkdigles:
Cool. Any ideas on the 16-digit pass or still being able to write the NVRAM? I'm able to re-flash on my own, however I only have one S3 so want to be sure that I'll still be able to flash once upgraded.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:

After about a year of using my us cellular s3 on page plus flashed by Viper, I have decided to give T-Mobile a try. My question is how do I reset my s3 back in order to sell it as a us cellular phone? I'm rooted running a custom version of 4.2.2

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Needs to be put back in RUIM Mode, US Cellular prl put back on it, then a Factory reset should do the rest afterwards..............

I hope you have good coverage with T-Mobile in your area............

Thanks for quick reply. I have a few days of page plus service left so I'm experimenting... T-Mobile hit and miss so far.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fordry:
So I'm in a bit of a pickle. I have a HTC DNA that was flashed for Selectel a while back and a couple weeks ago I wake up one morning and incoming SMS as well as data isn't working. Trying to go to a website takes me to a VZW splash screen. So I have been kinda living with it ever since but I am wanting to get it fixed. So I tried reinstalling a rom first just to see if somehow the rom was screwy. That didn't do anything. I wound up installing another rom that I think totally broke the flash, as far as I could tell. I followed this guide in the DNA section explaining how to flash to PP. Everything seemed to go ok but I am right back to where I started, incoming SMS and data are not working. For the record, everything else does work, calling, wifi, gps, etc...

The interesting thing to me is that I renewed with Selectel a week or so after this started and Selectel's automated renewal txt DID come through. Its the only txt I have received since this started. I tried to have them switch my service to another phone temporarily just to confirm for myself that the phone really is the issue but they wouldn't do it.

So my question is what does it sound like is happening with the phone? Is it a broken flash that my attempts at redoing haven't fixed? Is it something else? Could it be Selectel even though they say there is nothing wrong?

One last detail, when I tried to redo the flash, I used the same SIM card. Could that be why the redo isn't working any better?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
This is actually something Verizon is doing, the sim crd was the issue. But now with the new Rom etc. you may have other issues......

Used Verizon Sim cards are what is needed now..............

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fordry:
So this is Verizon cracking down?

So I need someone's used sim card to make this work? where do I come up with that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
^^What happens when you use a non verizon sim?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fordry:
Would an inactive tmobile sim be a worthwhile try? I could cut it down. Thats the only other sim I have on me right now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
Sure. Worth a shot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
You can use a blank GSM sim card I know as thats what I use now instead of Verizon Sim cards......... Used ones may work but they have a few other issues they cause at times...........

You will get a Non-Verizon Sim card mesage on some phones but who cares if it works ;)

Verizon is cracking down on the sim cards I am seeing this especially with new sim cards that have been programmed with numbers and also a few used ones............

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
I've not run into any issues here with verizon sim cards. 3G, mms works just fine. In fact, been fixing this for folks all week long now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
That's great, I bet if ya if program a new sim card it want last.......

I have been fixing them for the past two weeks.........

Either way glad ya not having any issues................

I've not been able to get a blank verizon 4g sim to work with samsung on 4.3, so I've been calling verizon and activating a new sim on my contract line every few days (when i need one). Does anyone have a source for blank sim's or used sim's?

Also, do I have to freeze both setup apk's to make the blank sim not try to activate every time the phone boots up? Or does this method not work since 4.3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
^^Tested with a never activated sim in my own s4. Still have working 3g 6 days later. I was able to see the screen that folks are referring to however.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Yeah they are doing some changes...... I think some of it may be regional also........

Better to just use a GSM sim and be done with it........ Or use a brand new Verizon sim but don't program it, if rooted and disable setup and all is good also.........

One of my Good Friends works for Verizon Technical support level 5, he said more changes are coming soon............

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
How long does it take for the auto-activation ("Please wait while your SIM card is being activated...") screen goes away? I've never had to patience to find out. I'm going to try rooting and freezing the 2 setup apks later today I guess, now that I have some s3's to play with.

S4 on 4.4.2 = doable without root?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Maybe five minutes, if that.......

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Message me I will show you how to fix the Verizon issue.......

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
Better? Maybe easier.

Nothing wrong with activating a blank sim card. Eliminates the need for third party messaging app to ensure outbound MMS gets the correct phone number attached. For all this to work, the phone does have to be correctly flashed. If not, issues will arise.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Nope you are right, but the average Joe does not know that you can even do that.......

I can assure you if you are trying to insinuate that I do not know how to properly flash, I promise you that's not a issue......

Some forget where they actually learned some of this from ;)

I am glad to see you still contribute to the thread, Thanks .....

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
As I said, easier. Better or worse depends on the desired end result. An enthusiast will always prefer a third party app to stock. The masses prefer to keep things simple and work with the stock app. If it can be done, why not do it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] agapedisciple:
Hey guys, this week I replaced the USB port on my S3, but I'm having some issues. Phone charges fine, but I am unable to get it to properly connect to my PC to flash it. Since the phone was previously programmed to PP, all I've got to do is update the MIN and MDN then the 3G keys (PAP, PPP, HDR AN, AAA, HA). I was able to successfully manually input the MIN and MDN using ##000000# (my MSL). I can call and text fine. Now I'm having issues inputting the 3g keys. From the ##DATA# menu, I can manually input the AAA and HA SPI. So, I tried "vzw" and "767a77" just to see if I could get 1x before taking the time to pull the actual data keys. But I'm getting Error #89, no internet.

Is anyone familiar with manually flashing an S3 using the service codes? OR manually inputting the 3g keys from the handset?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
If you changed the active profile, I doubt you'll be able to program the aaa/ha through the handset.

You've verified you're using a data and not a charging cable??

Did you create a solder bridge between any of the terminals on the usb port? If so, that would cause a data cable to be detected as charging only (D+ and D- shorted).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] agapedisciple:
I don't understand how the active profile would have changed... Which active profile are you referring to? I'm definitely using a data cable... Sam cable I use to program all my phones ... No solder bridge, but the second pad from the left broke on desolder (the middle pad of the 3 very small pins grouped together on the left side). I think this will be my last Samsung micro USB fix. 11 pins on such a small connector is too many even with a microscope! These phones should all be like the Note with a replaceable board dedicated to the fragile micro USB. But that's beside the point :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ilpleasu:
I have 3 used Verizon Sims, can I use either of these to do a flash to page plus on a Verizon Rzr Max.

Note: I put one in the Rzr and it did in fact try to a activate so I snatched it out. ...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Yes you can use them, if it tried to activate then it most likely that one is a new one. Other wise it would have come up activated and displayed a number.

There is a way to use a new sim card on the Razr also....... I think a guide was posted on another site H O F O tht shows how to use the new one......

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ilpleasu:
Sorry about that. . It did show up as one of my old numbers. I did a swap phone and that sim was what came put off the new phone. ..

ok cool the you are good to go, flash away ;)

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ilpleasu:
Ya... Right! Simple to you but hard for me. .. So I can flash this Rzr to page plus using this old Verizon Sim card?

Yes, No issue with flashing it with a used sim card at all..............

Just another method, actually easier for most.......

If you have an unlocked boot loader, it should be flashable. The biggest problem with current Moto devices is getting the sub mode to change to nv only. With root/unlocked BL, you can edit subscription mode in provider settings and then you are on the same page as Samsung devices.

So in other words we need to look at the android sdks online searchable KB and find out if nosimwhatever is deprecated in later SDK builds. We also need knowledge of the platform - the SDK - version that his specific devices software was built on. Google is our friend..

I am glad to see people are learning from this topic, good job.........

I will try to take a look tomorrow..........

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
Oh I've used the KB before, actually the first time I used it was when I was trying to make RAZR and bionic work, before snoop or anyone posted a public guide, it was amazing how much made sense after reading...never mind. Anyway, I saw that beigephone did it and I knew I could if they could and I refused to pay them for 1 flash so that I could read their settings (which I'm sure others did) so I took the long route and did more reading and lurking than you can imagine. Reading and lurking, syphoning knowledge.

S3 flash

I'm having a issue getting a s3 sprint (L710) phone to accept the 16 digit password. I have 2 identical phones and it works on one (using CDMA Workshop full version) but fails on the other.

Lucid 2 no data after full flash

:good:

Viper, my LG lucid 2 may be messed up, I guess I could find the answer in this thread, but it is too long. I'd appreciate if you could advice me to fix it.

Basically, I paid "fla****now" to do full flash to PP with a new account, after I saw phone network was on EVDO, I assumed it is on 3G, but I did not actually test it. Then I asked PP to do the ESN change, put my current PP account on this lucid 2. Since then, I kept just using voice and text with no problem. Recently, I need data, but after I turned on mobile data, I got no network connection, not even 1X. I tried to reach "fla****now", but they seems out of business, and got no response from them.

So, my question is, 1) could I just dial *22890 to do OTA fix; or 2) I have to reflash it to get data worked. By the way, the phone has no 4G Sim card stalled, and it still shows EVDO network on the setting, but no mobile data connection.

Thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Been awhile since I flashed one of these, but you do need a sim card I am pretty sure after its flashed for Data to work. Again going off memory........ The ota activation will not fix the issue it will need reflashed..........
