I should have a stock backup. Does it have to be stock or just tw? I'm trying to get flashed to pp with vipers help. Got my number ported now I'm stuck on this.

Sent from my SCH-I535
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caguas56:
Yes, I have a Sprint account. I'm using my old S3 on it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cjmcsw87:
i ran it from terminal, same result - i think.

plugged the phone in and it's trying to install drivers for MTP though, and failing. ? i reinstalled the sammy drivers last night just trying to eliminate and potential problems. not sure why it's failing. I hate to go back to TW :crying:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
is there a way to get the on hold button back after u flashed a phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] njdan30:
Yes me too unless it's from a backup then it's no big deal other then time. I usually keep back up of both on sd just to switch on the fly. if the phones plugged in while u do it and it's reindtalling drivers once in while you can get away with unplugging phone then plugging back in other time u may need to reboot. Also on my computer depends where u get drivers from. I had others work better then one from Samsung it self. I don't want to hijack the thread but if you want pm or text/call or email me I'll try and help you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cjmcsw87:
that line of commands did something ..I get a popup when I plug the phone in saying " Hardware ID Missing "
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Just flash it back to stock or stock rooted, AOSP is not very friendly for flashers.........

Hey all,

I have an S3 and PP is working great. But if I flash any custom roms MMS does not work but 3G data does.... Any ideas? When I flash back it works fine.

njDan30, thanks a lot!!!!. I'm back on Sprint!.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caguas56:
Prl update

After switching my Note 2 back to Sprint from Page Plus I got the PRL on 2006 version. how do I get the latest PRL?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wpcprez:
I saw the post mentioning APN settings. Do I just overwrite the APN file with the one on the main post here? Or do I need to edit the file?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
is any body gonna answer my question
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Well you sure are pushy today......

I have no clue what the heck your talking about.... On Hold Button?

Maybe if you where more specific then someone would answer you.

Example: (Does anyone know why the on hold button on the dialer does not work after flashing my phone)

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
well u no wat I'm talking about and the on hold button isn't there any more after flashing the phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caguas56:
I don't want to appear pushy also but don't forget about my question also!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JLawL:
I'm assuming you need to be rooted to do this? I've just had my phone flashed over, a US Cellular Galaxy S4, and I can't seem to find any way of rooting it. Even the One Click Root software doesn't work...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
You can update the Sprint PRL from the phone, under settings.....

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wpcprez:
how do you do the actual change of the APN? I tried a bunch of different ways and none seem to work. Even some build.prop edit to allow you to enter them manually.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
No I do not as I do not use it, but I just looked and tested just for you since I am such a nice guy.

Mine works just as its supposed to on the S4 thats been flashed to Selectel.......

** Besides bro, chill out people have been at work you only posted this question 6 hrs. ago... I thought I was inpatient ;)

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Why are you wanting to change the APN? Most likely it is not needed.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rjdhill:
Hey guys . I got 2 new phones now . Wanna put my old phones gn2 and gs3 back to stop sprint from pplus to hit ebay . Can anyone tell me if the stock firm will do this . Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caguas56:
Thanks. I have to give you and apology. I saw the instructions on how to return to Sprint on your first post. Thanks for your help and patience.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wpcprez:
I am changing the APN because njdan30 says with a custom ROM you need to. I tried a bunch of different ROMS and none of them work with MMS. This sounds like it could be it but not 100% sure. 3G data works so my keys are all good to go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Not sure what carrier phone you are working on thats been flashed but I advise you to save yourself some headaches and use one of the MMS apks that I have posted on one of the main post.

Stock Messaging and MMS is not a easy task and also hit and miss......

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
well it use to be on the phone it would be that pause looking button in the dailer when u on a call now its just gone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JLawL:
How do I get to where I edit the nosim=true? I finally found a way to root my phone with SuperSU, but I don't know how to access those files.

/system/build.prop

ro.config.donot_nosim=true
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gadget069:
Yes you need to be rooted
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JLawL:
I got the phone rooted with SuperSU now, but I don't know how to access the file that I need to change :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gadget069:
I used root explore
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
What phone are you dong this with? Verizon or USSC S3 or S4?

What version android is it on?

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JLawL:
Its a US Cellular GS4. I forgot that I couldn't use the stock "file manager" on the phone even once rooted. Thats probably my only issue lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Well you can use a USSC Sim Card in it, and get rid of the no sim error and gain a 3G icon .... Just make sure to use the newest MMS apk I have posted in main posts so MMS will send with correct MDN......

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JLawL:
I'm flashed to a carrier that doesn't use Sim Cards. I have everything working correctly I just didn't know how to get rid of the annoying notification panel icon lol. I've got the file open now though, just looking for the correct line and hopefully I will be all set :D

EDIT: Lol well after 5 minutes of searching for the line of text I realized that I needed to just add it to the bottom, rebooted phone and everything is good :) Thanks guys!

Interesting, I have one of the Verizon Prepaid flashed S3 here now. I read it and everything is there from the donor. The donor still works fine but the flashed phone will not do anything now. I am going to switch the account to another donor and then reflash to see what happens. I will keep everyone posted........

Viper

PS:

I added a updated version of DFS to the main Post for anyone that would like it........
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Well switching the account to another donor OTA it and then reflashing the S3 worked. I am going to hold on to this one for a few days to see if it goes down again.....

Although I do not do allot of Verizon Prepaid flashes, I am getting allot of calls and text this morning from people asking to have phones fixed on VZW prepaid. Interesting to say the least, but we shall see what becomes of it.......

(All I know is the S3 that went down would not make any calls, no data nothing... he said it just quit working all of a sudden......

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gadget069:
Drop down the notification bar , long press the activation, app info, disable notification I believe
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] preusstang:
Big thanks to Viper32. Got my SCH-i535 from verizon to pageplus no problem. This guy knows what he's doing.

btw, anyone want to save some moneys on pageplus refills, CallingMart is offering 5% off PP cards with the "mom135" discount code (thru 6/4). Plus they have no sales tax :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
I have used several different (friends) for the task......

The Do-or word is a no, no, don't want to get my topic taken down ;)

But the S3 I kept here I had running some small data things and lost data but talk still worked..... I turned it off and used the (friend) to make a call and use data, it worked fully. So then went back to S3 and data is back up......

Verizon is up to something, my phone has rang non-stop today with people asking about the issue.......

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trim81:
Crazy.

Like I said, just when I wanted to switch to the vzw unlimited plan, from boost new security kicks in.

It sounds like it's running a check in the background for certain strings of some sort from thefriend phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Yeah, could be... first the mifi's then now some of the others using a (friend) for the flash... Really would not be to hard for Verizon to do, I mean just anytime a cheap priced Friend esn is activated monitor data activity etc.

Anyways no need to worry to much about it I have a few ideas.......

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trim81:
I was reading on the gurus site...

They are De branding the mifis, is that working okay?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Yeah, I dont really think that will work neither..... I think they are monitoring Data usage and thats how the flag them. One I flashed still going strong but guy hardly never uses data.......

I bought a Sprint SG3 with bad ESN/MEID, modle SPH-L710. It's not stolen property, the original owner couldn't keep up with his bill.

Now, is it possible for me to flash a bad ESN sprint gs3 into Page Plus?

If so, which ROM should I use? Cyanogen? rooted MD4 build?

Also a question about page plus service:

is it possible to use my flashed GS3 with only pay as u go talk, but no data plan?

I have a Verizon S4 I545 that was flashed to Page Plus. I want to go back to Verizon but I've encountered all sorts of trouble. Even Verizon cannot figure it out, after uours of tech support, 2 new sim cards , and 1 hours at a store.

I flashed it back to stock but still no communication with VZW network. I had PPlus cancel the account on the phone.

What should I do ? Will an ESN change fix my problems ? I don't mind paying somebody if it needs to be this way, I just want the phone to work again.

Thanks

sim card error and 3G incon

@ Viper,

My phone was just flashed to page plus using your method. I installed the texting apk in post 2 and put in a verizon sim card. The phone was trying to activate and update verizon apps, I was afraid it was going to break the flash, so I turned it off and removed the sim card.

Is the procedure described above safe on verizon GS3 with JB 4.1?

Jay
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
Viper, the build.prop edit for no sim card present in the OP is only for USCC phones or vzw phones too? If the latter, is it only applicable to stock roms?

Got a vzw s3 here with "bonestock 3.4" rom, attempting to add that line just results in a bootloop.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
It should work for either with a Stock Rom..... I rarely use it but I have for both.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
^^Ok... Strange it would cause a boot loop. I'll reinstall bonestock from scratch again and test out. Even tried wiping cache/dalvik with same results.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
It is most likely still in NV Only Mode..... So its not reading the sim card and not connecting back to Verizon......

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
It depends on how it was flashed, needs to be a previous used sim card also.......

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jayhawk81:
I know you flash a lot of phone, but it is one you just flashed last night after i raised hell to ST to remove the hold on the port. The SIM card however is a brand new one that I just picked up from the VZ store.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Yeah I do flash allot of phones and I am pretty sure I asked for you not to put a Sim Card in the phone. So you get a new card guess what it is going to try to activate.

Guys I know some little things drive some of you crazy but I promise you with some phones its better to live with the no sim card message than to put one in the phone to get rid of it.

Flashing is a science, I have been doing it a long time and I do allot of phones every single day, so I hope that I by now know whats best ;)

does anyone have some suggestions on any roms that play nice with a flashed vz s3 ? i've been advised to leave carbon rom 1.7 aosp and downgrade back to a 4.1 rom. I used beanstown's beans once upon a time build 15 maybe ? and the last rom i used before aosp was goodness ported from the sprint variant. hyperdrive looks like it might be pretty nice, but what do you guys use ?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aktran9:
In my later post, I mentioned that this did not work on Sprint galaxy S4. I realized that after reading post 120s or so I was able to reset it zero.

For those on Sprint Galaxy S4:

1. check your modem first to see if you are on MDC or MDL modem. Go to settings, more, scroll down to about device, and look under baseband version.

2. if you are on MF9 (like I was), it won't work. So you have to downgrade your modem. I did mine in ODIN mode. I presume you can do it recovery mode too if you are rooted. For those not rooted, do the ODIN mode. To get into ODIN mode, shut phone off. Once off, hold power, home button and volume down all at once. Once phone boots, hit volume up. Then connect phone to computer.

3. Flash your modem to MDC or MDL.

4. open CDMAWS. Input your MSL and security code (in the beginning of this thread).

5. Run script from above hitting send every time.

6. Once down, reboot phone.

7. You can recheck your MSL code.

8. ODIN back and upgrade your modem again.

9. Enjoy your zeroed out MSL/SPC.

Hope that helps.

Thanx Viper and JUSMEJOSE. It took me a day to read through 125 pages of this XDA forum but learnt so much.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] semifast:
Couple of beginner questions. :)

Sprint S3 or Sprint S4, is one better than the other to flash and use on Selectel, or are they the same ?

On a Sprint S4, is the MDL firmware ok for flashing to Selectel ?

I'm pretty sure I'll be asking Doctor Viper to help me flash, but what can I do to get ready to flash ?

Get the right firmware ?

I think root is required ?

Is CWM or TWRP required ?

Anything else I can do ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
You will be good with either I like the S4 but get what you can afford........

roam triangle

phone was fine now its in roam and wont come out of it an i have no mms
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Well for one, it would help if you tell us what Phone it is.

Hard to help without all the facts. Could be as simple as a PRL or could be much more.

I see many request for help each day or a get about 50 messages a day when people do not include all the necc. info.

Example: Why did my flashed phone lose data?

Possible Answers:

1. Did you do anything like take a OTA Update?

2. Did you factory reset it?

3. Did you install a different Rom?

4. Did you turn data off in settings?

5. Did you do a *228 or any of its variants?

Commonly after I exhaust all these reasons usually what I hear is below:

1. I installed a new Rom ;)

2. I took a OTA Update

3. I did a *228

4. I forgot I turned data off

5. Oh and the one I really like (I never really had data)

Guys no-one can help you without all the facts, or better yet not may are willing to if you leave it so broad ;)

MY RANT FOR THE DAY ;)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eric00211:
its a ussc s3 and you flashed it about two weeks ago worked fine for a week then went into roam but in status it says not in roam prl version is 53247
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
That's not a PRL that I put on it......

USSC phones will read the sim cards prl in status even though its not using that one.

If it started Roaming all of a sudden then something has changed, or you have really entered a roaming area.

Is the phone working correctly?

If so is it just the triangle driving you nuts?

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eric00211:
seems to be working but if data roaming is not checked no data and will not send mms
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Well, you can change the PRL but you are running one of the ones I use for many areas. I would check the data roaming and let it go. Its not really roaming as if it was you would not get any data with Page Plus. Let me know. It seems like your PRL has changed or been changed if this is not the case.

is it possible to add sprint as a provider inside the working mms app?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fly4awhtgye:
My Sprint S3 was flashed locally about 2 months ago. I believe flashing a new ROM last week messed up the MMS settings so I could not receive MMS. The flasher fixed that Sunday night. We changed the Go Sms MMS settings and installed Android Messaging apk.

Some time last night, I began seeing an Error 131 about data sign in popping up every few seconds. This morning 3G did not work, outgoing calls or texting did not work either. 611 did bring me to Verizon CS.

I assume something caused me to lose flash. Is that what happened? I didn't flash any ROMS or flash anything in recovery last night. Can anyone guess what might have caused the problem? Can I fix any part of this myself or is a re flash needed? Thanks for any help.
