I just ordered a Samsung Galaxy S2 II Epic 4G Touch SPH-D710 on Ebay with a clean ESN for $60. Just has a minor front crack.

Is a donor phone needed to flash to Virgin? Really hoping not. I did want to keep my number if possible tho. Thanks in advance!

I have an Optimus Elite currently on their network, but I was hoping to donate it to my sister :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Although I am not a expert on Virgin Mobile flashing I am pretty sure you will need a donor..... The ones I have done I used one for the (Friend)

So how is selectel working for everyone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Only one person on here that I know has it, but I have about 9 people converted to the service so far. I have not heard one complaint about the Service at all. The only thing I can think of that's a small negative is they are still doing work on the website, as its not world class yet. So use that how you wish, I would not be afraid to use them at all........

Flashing my VZW Galaxy note II to Straight talk

Hello Viper and everyone else on this thread, I have seen that you guys have helped persons here on XDA to get their phones flashed and I hope you or someone else can do the same for me. So I bought a verizon galaxy note II a few days ago (because in the future I may use the GSM capabilties too) and is hoping to flash it to straight talk verizon service. I know my case might be different because I am using an old Samsung R451C on straight talk verizon service at the moment that I would like to use as my donor phone. I would like to clone/use the same meid/esn and number on the VZW note II. I know if its works I may have to destroy the r451C seeing that I should never have two phones with the same info turned on at the same time on a network. I have no intentions of doing anything illegal and that's a given fact. The reason I wanna clone my Samsung R451C info is because the service is free for me at the moment and I haven't paid a bill for some time now and I have strong reasons to believe that all that is linked to my MEID/ESN and mobile number.

The VZW Note II has the verizon firmware Android Verizon 4.1.2 running so please let me know if the firmware can be used to accomplish what I will be trying to do. I will get the files for the Note II that you listed and then you can tell me where to go from there. I have some experience in flashing different firmwares for SONY/SONY ERICSSON android phones but I know this is different and I have never flashed a phone for this reason before.

looking forward to a reply, thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to help me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dirkdigles:
I think I might be the one person Viper is referring to :)

Seems to be working fine so far. I haven't necessarily noticed a difference from PP, however data speeds seem to be good (did a speed test this morning, downtown Chicago, got 1.5Mbps down and 1Mbps up, ping ~70ms, MD4 radio), no dropped calls etc.

Their website currently sucks as you can tell, but I'm told they're in the process of improving it (I sure hope so!). I'm on the $30 plan. They don't have any auto-renewal posted but if you call up CS they can set you up to auto-renew your plan each month.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fbmrider86:
Hey Viper, I stumbled across your post today while at work (long time xda lurker).

I've been with PP for a few years now after activating a Droid X (3G/full bells and whistles). Since then I've tried my hand at a Spring HTC EVO 4G. Got it flashed, with working SMS/1X, but no 3G. Turned that into my media player for the time being.

I recently picked up a USCC Galaxy S (Mesmerize). Once again I'm at working calls/texts, however this time I've got no data. I've flashed a few ROMs to see if there might be a difference in accessing certain things. Right now I'm stuck in a 'Select Language' loop with my current ROM so I plan to reflash to stock once I get home. I've altered the IP settings within QPST to match known Verizon settings, however I'm still not getting a data connection at all. Checking the Settings in each ROM shows the radio trying to connect but ultimately failing. Any chance you can help me out? I feel like I've tried several of the known methods and every time I miss one piece of the puzzle.

Anyone know how to write Akey in Sprint S4?? I already tried DFS, and CDMA WS both didn't work.. :((

Please Help

Hey Viper,

I just came across this thread I have been of xda developers for sometime and using Nevell's guide I got my bro and I on verizon prepaid with 2 s3's. One sprint and the other verizon. The issue is that we are only getting 1x service. The sprint one says 3g but the speeds suggest that it is only 1x. Also on the sprint one data goes in and out a lot. I have dfs and qpst on my computer I do not have the paid versions of CDMA or another programs. It has just been very frustrating because the 3g and the mms just do not seem to work. Your help would be appreciated and I would not have any problem donating :).

With 4.3, I can still root. That's all the customizing I see me wanting to do to it. What will a locked bootloader keep me from achieving? Custom recovery??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mgmjoker:
Im not sure if this was supposed to be possible but.....i partially bricked my 4.3 uscc s3 doing a flash,so i pushed cwm through odin,and then a "no aboot" fix,got 4.1.2 i believe it was,installed triangle away,cleared my counts,installed a cm 11 nightly 4.4 and then flashed back to 4.3 so technically i know it can be done,just not sure the exact steps to get where i am now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ciabatoni:
Yes, on 4.3 you can still root, and achieve a custom recovery if on mk3 and prior to that basebands... Yes, If the bootloader is locked, it means you cant achieve custom recovery, I believe you might be able to still use a boot strap recovery, but dont quote me on that, I'll have to check on that... Heres a link to everything needed and the process to achieve what your looking for..>>> http://androidcentral.us/2014/01/how-to-root-sprint-galaxy-s3-running-android-4-3-vpucmk3/

This link here >>> http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s4/788644-knox-security-locked-bootloader-new-firmwares.html is what to look for and what basebands will have knox and locked bootloader. And if I missed something, it is all explained in those links in detail.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
No way I would ruin a unlocked Bootloader unit by going to 4.3.........

Sacred thing you have so look into options.............

Resale value one day will be way up from locked units for sure.............

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] micallen:
OK, I guess I can start at 4.0.4. I can always go up in the future if I feel I need to, but like you said, can't go back.

Thanks,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ciabatoni:
Whats the deal

I have 4.3 and Im not locked up, I may not be able to downgrade the baseband, But Im definitely not locked up...

---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------

Yeah I wasnt suggesting you do it, I was letting you kno it could be done, and supplied the guides that were necessary...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
If you are on 4.0.4 and you Value a Unlocked Bootloader and have a little bit of sense of the potentials, it would be crazy to upgrade.

Plain and simple, no going back and I don't care what no-one says in the end a Unlocked Boot-loader Phone will always go for more Money ...........

Be Very Very Careful with People telling you to go ahead and Upgrade, as that is nonsense in my eyes..............

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ciabatoni:
Agree

`

I Agree with you Viper. I definitely wasn't applying, Nor suggesting that he do so, However, its safe for him to upgrade to 4.3 and still have all the capabilities as being on 4.0.4, There's virtually no difference between the same exact model on 4.3 and 4.0.4, both with unlocked boot loaders. If Im missing something and there is, Please share. And the value between a S4 on 4.0.4 or 4.3, both with unlocked boot loaders should be around the same price in resell, give or take a couple dollars...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
Ciabatoni, be aware, updating the modem/baseband is different than updating the boot loader.

My release day vzw s4 still has a MDK bootloader, but a much more current MK2 baseband. The baseband was updated manually through odin. Custom recoveries and kernels still work just fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Correct, we have to remember some of the ones asking these questions see update and just click away. Then they realize what they have done.......

You can run 4.3 on a unlocked bootloader no problem but do not waste the unlocked potential by just doing a straight update.

I hear everyday people complaining that they were told to update, then realize what a mistake it was to do so. These phones will be rare to get in the future and if someone wants to play around with Rom's they need to realize what happens if they do update ;)

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ciabatoni:
yep

On that note, I do agree 100% Anyone who shows interest in customizing there android device, better be doing there research... There are to many positive and negative factors involved with what we as android users love doing to are devices. I personally visit about 10 different forums to study things I'm attempting. I also gained and learned a lot of information from you alone.... I would suggest that anyone new to Android, or converting over from Apple, Windows or Symbian devices. READ up, ASK questions, and LEARN from others. The information you seek is out there. And Google is your best friend when looking.... :D

The closest SID in the list is 1.5 hours from my area. Does that have any affect with signal quality? How would I get a SID for my local area?

Can anyone assist me with the proper steps to get 3G with no donor phone?

Where exactly do I place the 10.key? Do I just put the DMU folder at root or in the efs folder?

Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 flashed to PagePlus

Currently have Voice/Text/Data (1X) working...

I know this is a Galaxy S thread, but I'll ask anyway

I have a Sprint LG LS970 I'm trying to get on Page Plus. I have everything, but the web.

I did a master reset, ##786# and ##72786#

I flashed both the LGE AndroidNet For Diagnostics Port and LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port

I added a "DMU" folder and copied the "10key" in there

I used 60008, 60007, and 53247.prl I wrote them Universal NOT LG

I changed the EVDO Rev: Revision A protocols with MFPA

I added a profile and both profiles are enabled

I changed the R. Interval: 2000ms and M.IP Beh: MobileIP

I don't know what else to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated

UPDATE!!!!!! I just had to reflash the "Donor phone" the passwords were different, now it's working

Help?

Hello All,

I have been scouring the Internet for days in hopes of finding someone with a similar problem to mine. I purchased a Galaxy S4 for $150, the service was being provided by Us Cellular. Everything worked great (phone, text, and data) up until I rooted the damn thing using Chain fire's CF Auto Root. After rooting I noticed that the S4 was refusing to send a text message, I tried using the stock texting app as well as the go sms app. Neither would send out a text so I then tried making a voice call. Now here is where I am extremely lost... When I try and make and call the phone will ring once and then I get a automated message telling me "welcome to Verizon they r sorry but my call cannot be completed. Please contact them by hanging up and dialing 611." I DONT HAVE VERIZON! What happened to my us cellular service? Since the root i am having issues with my data as well. The S4 now thinks i am constantly roaming internationally. I live in Oregon! So basically In trying to better my phone by rooting I royally screwed it up and made it a paper weight without even bricking it.

I'm really hoping that someone here might be able to help me get my S4 back on the us cellular network where I have a plan just chill in waiting for someone to utilize it. Any suggestions are welcome! I am desperate!

Thanks,

True

Unrelated. Just got an announcement that Pageplus will up their data for the $39 and $55 plan.

Both will up 500mb. This is awesome. $55 for UnTT and 3Gb of data. $39 for UnTT and 1Gb.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] theroar:
Can anyone confirm if this makes any sense? i9505 on 4.3 flashed to PP.

As viper told me, if I flash a rom I lose my PagePlus flash. He was right.

I went to several roms, and had no page plus, but was using DFS to try to flash my min, mdn, etc to get service back. I can get connected, read in DFS, but when I tried to write the min etc DFS would report read only for those NV items.

Thought maybe it was that the 16 digit key was not for 4.4.2 so I have been scouring the net for that. No luck.

Just thought I would try a 4.3 rom and was downloading that.

I have been reading like crazy and one of the post back a few steps had a *#22etc that was supposed to be a easy way to open the hidden menu. Typed that in and got a Verizon message... Odd becuase since Tues I have not had any service and the phone showed nothing for MIN or MDN under DFS.

Made a test call home and I am back in business. I do not have a data plan with PP so I cannot(do not want to)test 3G.

Any idea what I might have done to get it back in service. Would have the simple call to the *# number done it? I was looking forward to being able to flash this myself so I could gleefully swap from rom to rom like I did with my S3 from sprint I put on PP.

Thanks tons for input!

Mike

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] theroar:
R530 cannot get into phone util

Running liquid smooth which is AOSP so the dialer codes are not built in.

I installed hidden menu and phone util ( android data tools) to try to get the phone set to Select DM+Modem+ADB

I have had success with my D710 and R970, but no luck at all with this R530.

I saw a post where typing ##DMMODE# should just get me set in that mode, but when I connect the phone there are no ports connected.

When I plug in either of the other two phones, their ports show up and work as advertised.

When I am in android data tools (phone util) and click the Open Diag Menu, it always crashes telling me "unfortunately adroid data tools has stopped" That occurs on the s4 as well, but I was still able to get to the menu on it by typing *#0808#

Any tips? Thanks.

Hey viper,

I had you flash a device a few months back. I wanted to upgrade to cleanrom8.1 and also update my modem. I was on mbm1 and wemt to ml1 modem. Right now my device seems to have lost its 3g but sms and voice works. I flashed back to a mbm1 baseband but still no 3g. Would appreciate any help from viper or others.

NO data needed, only phone.

I would like to help others flash to pp.

This thread is to flash with 3G. However, is there a simpler way to only get the phone working, no data whatsoever, specifically for a verizon samsung galaxy note 2?

Many people need only phone, for example, for emergency situations and have no need, nor money, for data. In fact, I only need to have the phone flashed to pp so that the person can have a pay-as-you-go plan for phone ONLY. No data at all. Pp by the way has some of the most affordable pay-as-you-go plans, $10 for 100 minutes for 120 days, or about 4 months. Thus, a person with limited income would only pay $30 a year for an emergency phone; an amazing deal. (There is no Freedompop, or other free, cell phone services where I live, so the cheapest paid alternative would be pp.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] robla64:
