I'll throw my 2 cents in, flame suit already on. :p

The information needed is all out there. It's all over these forums, and many others. It does take a bit of research and some trial and error. That is part of the deal. If you come in expecting a step-by-step tutorial, and start-to-finish hand holding by an "expert" you will be disappointed. And if you do contact an "expert" to do it, you should (rightly) contribute for his/her services. Nothing is free in this world. Any one who is the real deal and has spent the time and invested the money in this -Business- will not be giving away their secrets (or their time) for free.

Long story short, be happy there are guys who take their spare time to help out. And in most cases ask for nothing.

Agreed . I for one dont have the time skill or patients to learn it all. Im a fulll time student and have a family as well as a full time 40. I learn and read and learn and read . When i can and as much as i can But this is one thing I can honestly say I will never have the balls to attempt . so things are just better left to the skilled and gifted .

I will never come on here and act like I know what im doing if I haven't experience or done what half you guys have done. Thats why I leave it to the pros per say. Im always willing to learn when I can and have the time along with a lot more balls To attempt half of what if seen on here .

Some of you accomplish the unthinkable .and some expect it . I appreciate everything and every one here .

Ive learned how to root /flash and pretty much solve almost all my phone problems on this forum no matter the phone or the rom. Its all here for the picking . Its all about courtesy, 5 patience and reading here . And let me be the first to say thank you everyone for all the contribution no matter the level .

Sprint s4 on Selectel stuck on Sprint signal

So I had Viper flash a sprint s4 to Selectel. Everything went smooth and the status showed that I was connected to VZW 3g. Speed tests and downloads reflected that. Over the course of the last week I changed ROMs once to check out the Google Experience ROM for this device. I have since restored back to a nandroid backup of stock/rooted. In the last couple of days I've noticed that my data speeds went way down. I can't get over 25k/s (.25Mbits/s) constant download speed the norm is 250k/s or 2.5mbit/s. Can no longer stream youtube videos, music of any kind, etc. I am in a great verizon service area... I also travel to multiple great verizon service areas. No change in data speed. I have tried switching around PRL's from the one that Viper loaded using the PRL write MOD to do it through the ##data# menu. Same results. Tried 2 other ROMs, no change. Every ROM I've tried is a TW ROM. Then I noticed that no matter what it's always utilizing the sprint network. No longer does it go to verizon. Signal quality reflects this as well (since sprint signal is so poor in this area). At the same time it's not roaming (as showing in the status menu). It's like something got set back to pre-flash value and it thinks that sprint is it's home network and it won't go off of it. Driving me nuts because of how bad sprint coverage is in my area.

Has this happened to anyone else, or does anyone have any ideas that might give some direction? any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Need a VZW GS4 to Page Plus Guide

I've been trying to figure out how to flash my VZW GS4 to Page Plus. I followed sedds89 guide for getting 3g on PP but my GS4 didn't take the programming from the donor phone. It doesn't seem to take any programming. Can you point me in the right direction as to a useful guide or video? My phone is in limbo now that I've changed the ESN to the GS4 but have been unable to program it. Your help and expertise is very much appreciated!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alphahere:
Yes

Sprint Epic 4G works well on PP. Last one I flashed did not even use a donor phone. Very easy phone to root and flash with free sotware tools.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
niteglo,

What makes you think it is using Sprint Towers?

(If you are seeing Sprint under About Phone that does not mean your using Sprint Towers)

When you loaded the new Rom how did you do so?

You said all was well until you flashed a Rom and then Nandroid restored back correct?

** The only way that you could possibly, totally be using the Sprint Network is if the phone was OTA updated or the programmed Values where changed to a active Sprint data profile. I have never seen this happen by itself, and am pretty sure its not possible **

** Either way we can look at it this evening and see if anything has changed that I flashed **

** As we have all discussed before in the topic some of the custom Roms do not seem to play nice with a flashed phone **

just saying I haven't had any problem with any roms that I have flashed to... I just didn't keep many of them on my phone just because it wouldn't take my 64gb sd card ..also the issue with the data saying it stop working or that they was only getting 1x ...I had the problem until I put the phone to cdma only(auto) and that fixed it for me

The .402 link corrupts while downloading and I get failed to register .dll error's, sometime's 1, sometime's 10. I've hit continue and attempted to manually register the dll's via regsrvr32 (after installation) but they are not valid dll's. I've tried downloading the link from OP#2 via TWC from my home desktop, ClearWire from a friend's desktop, VZW 4G through my Nexus, VZW 4G Jetpack to my laptop, AT&T Uverse to my work computer. I swear the ISP's are doing it, either that or we all have the same virus (the laptop, i just installed windows and firefox, mbam, ccleaner, java and flash, nothing else yet)

Also, every version of QPST I downloaded post .355 fails on install. So weird, that only the double rar'd & password protected release would install properly.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42873126&postcount=9 this rar'd, password protected version worked for me.

Does anyone have the latest QXDM and QCAT? The leaks have been taken down (I even baidu'd the chinese link's and they are now down)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jackrabbit72380:
Someone told me that all you had to do on the Sg2 epic 4g touch was to copy a prl and dial *228. Not sure if it's really that simple though.

I have one that is boost and one that is sprint but the model number is the same. as boost use the sprint model of the sg2

Right now I want to put the sprint one on PP is there a guide for this one how can I do it with out a doner? Not sure why Viper didn't list that one in the OP all I can figure is its super simple.

I really want to lean how to do this one myself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
^^Not sure that will work. Sprint OTA and verizon OTA reprograms different things.

From experience, only a handful of nam fiels are reprogrammed on a sprint phone when doing the ota on pageplus. You'll likely get voice and 1x data. Will still need to manual program for 3g and change apn for mms to work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jackrabbit72380:
so in other words it's best to use a doner. to get 3g data working. and alphahere probably did his wrong. and ended up wit h1x data.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
I don't see why. I didn't use a donor for my evo. It's mostly a matter of getting the 10.key file into the right place and correct data/mobile ip tab settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jackrabbit72380:
well he sayed he did his with out a doner but he didn't say he got 3g data working so now I am confused as if I need a doner or not.

I just don't see how to get the shared secrets to get 3g data working without using a doner.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
It will not ota that way and populate all the needed fields for 3G data.....

Well some think it does because of the 3G icon that Sprint shows no matter what ;)

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
Viper can probably better answer this as I haven't flashed a sg3/sg4 to PP yet. I would think if you didn't need a donor with the evo, you wouldn't need one with the sg3/4.

Even with my evo, with functional 3g, hooking it up to dfs does not reveal anything in the AAA fields.

The only password that appears to populate after success network registration is the PPP password under the Data tab. AAA shared secret and HA shared secret both remain blank. Why? I don't know. Maybe the demo version of the program doesn't display these, or perhaps they're not needed. End result is still true 3g data speeds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jackrabbit72380:
& What makes you think that?

That's with the Evo not sure what that has to do with any of the Samsung phones?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
Post 1614. I realize the phone there is not a sg3/4, but it seems the same things are being changed on all the phones, regardless if it's brand a or z.

With the introduction of the 10.key file, that seems to have removed the need for a donor.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jackrabbit72380:
No to my knowlage this is why no one uses an evo as a doner & the 10.key is not all that is needed you still need the shared secrets for 3g data and that's calculated buy the imei or phone number not sure witch. and you need to be able to read them in dfs. and wright them to your device.

dfs wont read them from the evo. so you say. but that's not the case with all phones. though I could be wrong.

my friend seemed to read them just fine from his device. in dfs after it was OTA programmed.

I just read my AAA Shared Secert and HA Shared Secret off of my Verizon SG3 No Problum.

But this device was not OTA'ed

-----------------------------------------

On another note now that I have been running AOSP based jellybeans rom on my vzw sg3 for a couple days now I do still ocationaly get a popup saysing...

"NO sim!

A SIM card is needed to operate this phone. Please turn off your phone and inset your Sim card'

I'm not sure what cases the pop up. but its still there.I just hit okay It's just a little annoying! but like I sayed not a deal breaker in this rom

I wish there we some way to get rid of it?

I bet the sprint version wont have this error sense there is no sim card slot lol or at least its internal.

I would think that every Verizon phone on pp with a sim slot would be having this error surely someone has a solution?

after I do my sprint sg3 im planning on testing out hyperdrive rom on it Im guessing hyperdrive may work only on the sprint version sence it has not sim card slot. I just hope so Hyperdrive is the best rom I have tried so far there is just so many good things about it!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tonybha1:
i did a master reset and used the second port and everything worked.

thank you

yes sprint s2 can be put on pageplus
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
Jack, I think we have a little miscommunication here. I never used an evo as a donor. I never used a donor phone period. My phone is a sprint evo 4g lte which is nearly identical in hardware to the s3.

After programming the appropriate nam settings and data/MIP, proper prl, and the 10.key file in the DMU folder in the EFS, 3G just worked. No AAA key shenanigans. If I had a s3 here to test I'd gladly do an esn swap on my account and test it out.

I confirmed this was true vzw 3g and not somehow still on sprint by reverse lookup of the IP address assigned and by observing the first few hops of a traceroute from the phone. The IP address returned belonged to vzw and the hops indicated presence on the vzw network. Finally speed tests confirmed true 3g.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
I get allot of questions about Voicemail Notification on Sprint Phones. I posted a link to a apk on one of the main post.It is not suppose to have ads.

If anyone gets the chance try it out let me know if it seems ok. I don't use a Sprint Version so have no clue if it will work or not.

I never hear about the issue here locally but maybe they just answer the phone every time, dunno......

I can test tomorrow sometime if I get the chance but if anyone has time let me know.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alphahere:
epic 4g touch programming is pretty much the same as above. I did change the profile to 0, changed the MSL to 000000 and then followed the above steps. It loaded up 3G data just fine. See the debug and status screens below. Make sure all your other settings are setup correctly for CDMA phone (like NVRAM, etc.). The epic 4g touch is an old phone and their howto's on the net for this phone.

First screenshot is on wifi and the other screenshots are after 3G is activated. AN-AAA passed means the AAA and HA keys are valid and the connection is 3G. There are apps that do the same thing to confirm 3G connection. Hope this is good enough proof. I don't use the 3G icon to determine if I have 3G connection and never did. ;)

Here is a tutorial that I followed. This is not a samsung phone but the programming is very similiar. Of course everything is not identical to epig 4g touch.

GPZ got it all going for me. I've flashed vzwpp, ppc, st, boost, all kinds but I was stuck trying to get 3g without a donor. Dude got me 3g quick and strange thing is there's no secret keys... Thank you, thank you, thank you! :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
^^This was one of the easier ones to resolve. Glad it's working properly now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jackrabbit72380:
See this is really good I'm glad you did all this I thank you..

but still something I am doing wrong. I just don't know what it is all my settings are correct but still I have no internet not 1x but none. on my sprint sg3...

if I read my vzw sg3 with dfs I can see my settings my ppp ha and aaa keys are all there everything works.

but when I read the sprint version it wont show after I wright the settings.

on vzw version I can open data tools app and see my settings but that option wont work on the sprint version of the sg3 in the data tool app

I cant find a tw rom that works with pageplus. I got jellybeans working on the vzw version but its plagued with a pop up sayin I need a sim. and that's the only rom that lets me have mobile data. I wanted to use it on the sprint version but the latest versions are not bult for spint only older ones are.

and so far no rom lets me use mobile data that I try on the sprint version.

the best universal rom on the fourm witch I love hyperdrive has everything I could possibly want and I cant get mobile data working on ither phone whenher I flash the vzw or sprint version

it wont work on the vzw or sprint version and im pretty bummed about that!

I don't know if the error is rom related or dfs

I suppose the error could be related to the prl as well I have tried the 0002.prl and the 53188.prl that is working on my vzw.

but no net.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] niteglo:
got to playing around in the ##data# menu on my phone after finding on a forum that some users were experiencing increased data speeds by toggling off rev tunneling. Tried that, lost all data (2g/3g)... now i can't toggle it back on. I get two android phone process force closes, and then a MIP 67 error. Which would be fine and all, but no matter what I've done i can't get the option to stick - at all. Found the preferences for this in DFS, the toggles stick when I write them in DFS (unless there's an additional place to toggle them - the ones i found were for each profile)... but even when they do 'stick' in DFS, the data menu says the same as before. Calls work just fine. No 1x or 3g. Tried with mobile data turned off, wifi on and off, diag mode on or off, nothing works. Anyone have any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Well I really do not recommend that people fool around in that area of the phone. Sounds like it has locked off now and will not turn back on. I would say you have covered bases but you may need to do a complete ##786# reset now which will semi reset the phone back to sprint. Then it will need to be flashed again.

Sprint S3 and S4 phones in my experience once flashed and working correctly sometimes just reading them in DFS causes issues and then things quit working. Another thing that I try to do if possible is when writing a new PRL which you seem to have done several is I put the phone in airplane mode while doing so. These new phones are picky and playing around with certain things will make you lose data due to authentication errors.

Also sometimes flashing Roms back and forth seems to cause issues also especially if you flash a new radio.

Just my 2 cents and the things I have seen....

Open up dfs, select port, then enter one of the two passwords below into the PWD, then send it.

Try the read spc command. One of those should reveal it. Your problem is the spc is not 000000.

Can ESN's be swapped (legally...through the account) on PP when there's a flashed phone in the mix or will there be issues when I switch it back? Need to do some network troubleshooting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wtf_lun4tic:
I don't understand the terminology, mostly. I'd like to learn this process so I can help people I know, as well as get my device to work on a cheaper carrier.

The number 1 hangup I am having is that my phone responds "Cellular network unavailable" when i try to enter codes in the dialer. I've tried it with and without a sim, but the sim I am using is a modified one cut to fit in the s4. Is there any reason it shouldn't work?

Im on an s4 trying to get it to work on pageplus. I've used the ##DMMODE# code successfully, but from here I am lost.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
Once you figure out how to get the phone into diag mode, the rest is pretty easy.

You can easily swap esn's with page plus customer service. Doing it through chat is best because it's a copy/paste process and less change of mistakes happening when entering meid's.

You will need to provide them with the phone # on the account, the currently registered meid, and the new meid. Takes all of 2 minutes to do, and free.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] niteglo:
i wonder how easy the s4 mini would be to flash... i'd imagine that it would be just as easy as the s3/s4 are. One is coming to verizon supposedly and i think it would be a great phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] catnapped:
Oh I know HOW to do it (done it plenty of times), but my concern is that when I take the number OFF of the flashed phone (Sprint/PP S3) will it be a pain (for me) when I eventually put it back (will I need to go back in to fix stuff and/or do a data reset and use my donor to get new keys again)?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
^^I see. Well, that's up to your programming skills. No, it shouldn't be difficult to reprogram.

It's my understanding that if you're moving from one vzw mvno to another that no additional programming is involved. Can't confirm this myself as I haven't moved anywhere yet. When moving to a different provider (ie sprint based) then yes, a reprogram will be necessary.

Donor phones are not necessary with the s3 (and most others I suspect).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
No need to reprogram if going to another Verizon mvno. The donor method works fine if you do not have the tools to do it otherwise. You will need a way to get your passwords, if you want 3g data.

herbody was

not trying to butt in here in your thread viper,but i just came across this thread and had to say diag is not locked out.

All of the firms for samsung are able to be put into diag and fully flashed to most any carrier,

here is a vid of the mf5 update on a us cellular galaxy s 4,i got one a week or so ago and flashed it to cricket in about 10 minutes.

The vzw and sprint models are the same as far as diag,to write the spc it requires a different script for there last updates but you dont have to write spc to flash it unless you need to ota.

if you want to see it go to youtube and put this number in the search box---> MWi6iAl5vpE

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
My 2¢ on the zeroing out of the spc. I don't recommend it. If you're doing a full manual program, leave the spc/msl what it is. Should some carrier update get pushed, it's less likely to get applied. Also, for some users, even though you tell 'em NOT to do a *228, they still do it (like telling a child not to touch a hot surface). So this protects the user from themselves :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Or just change it to something else like 111111 or 222222...... I usually zero all of them out or leave them be depends on what the flashee wants ;)
