(stuff that can be google'd)

(aka lost cause)

I have not tried 4.3, but I read through this thread last week and it seem's that 4.3 requires a "used 4g verizon lte sim card" for data to work, setting NV_ONLY for RUIM is not enough.

I could be wrong, but I believe this is an internal change in the host OS itself and how it access' cellular services. Which means all 4g phone's running Jelly 4.3 or higher should require a SIM even if they are using only the 3g radio for data.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] untruestory:
4.3 aosp works. 4.3 touchwiz/stock doesn't... Also don't sim cards hold onto settings from the line they were activated on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
They do, but not many, I believe the SIM stores APN settings, MDN, MIN & PRL. I believe that if you have NV_ONLY set in RUIM the phone will still look for the SIM as some sort of auth device (probobly wrong), so it will see the SIM and allow you to use the radio's. The phone will only attempt to use the APN settings for MMSC from the SIM (due to NV_ONLY), but if you go into menu settings about identity you will still see the sim's mdn/min. In the OP there is more info regarding this and how to setup mmsc properly on 4.3TW/OTA.

again, i have not tried the 4.3TW, i'm just going off what i read in this forum and others.

so if i'm wrong, please post the correct information so that we can all learn and grow together.

USCC Galaxy S2

Is the flashing procedure for the S2 the same as the S3?

Thanks,

No sorry to say, not had one in hand to test with. I am pretty sure it will be possible, but but so sure how easy it will be to get the msl/spc which you will need.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shantnu:
Thanks Viper. I will order a cheap Sprint one from ebay - going for 250 or less. Let me know if you can give it a shot remotely.

Also, I upgraded my verizon S3 to 4.3 today and both MMS apps dont' work now (tried with both vermms.apk and workingmms2.apk don't work)

Do you have the updated version for 4.3 that allows using a used sim card with a different number on it?

Does the 8sms app show the number from the sim or the actual pageplus number? thanks

Right now my MMS just doesn't work - just get invalid error.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Like I stated, make sure you can get the SPC as I have no way of getting it at the moment.

Yeah give me until tomorrow I will see what i can do about the MMS apk......

I have a fix for stock messaging apk to work on 4.1.2-4.3 versions of android that I do to all phones I flash locally, but a little bit involved for most to do, and very difficult to do remotely.

That's what I use...shouldn't touch the flash although (as with any rom) you'll have to fix the APN settings (MMS) afterward. In addition, no KNOX to deal with!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sodium11:
Thanks, but this doesn't work when you have a USC or VZW S3/S4 with a used sim card in. It shows the number on the sim and not the pageplus. So when someone receives your MMS, it shows the wrong number to them. If you remove the sim, then 3g doesn't work. If you use a new sim, then you get the activation prompts and MMS still doesn't work.

PLEASE HELP Verizon to Pageplus Carrier Flash Broken

Hey everyone! Less than 3 weeks ago I had my Verizon Galaxy S3 flashed to Pageplus remotely for $40. I did my research and from what I could tell running custom roms should work if they are for the SCH-i535. I rooted, put TWRP recovery on and flashed nightlies of cm11. Sure enough nothing worked so I flashed my nandroid backup of stock 4.1.2 and still nothing works. I currently cannot afford another flash and I am in dier need of my phone this weekend. Is there anyone that can please help me?

Btw I checked in about phone and my phone number changed so the flash has to be broken. After hours of searching and concluding I was safe to flash I am very disappointed, but I really need my phone and would be just fine on oem 4.1.2.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] El aye:
I think this is a good example for getting the Sprint L710.

I've been thinking about upgrading to the S4 (sprint L720), is there any major change in flashing this over the S3? Any problems with SIMs (it looks like the S4 has a SIM slot)?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Setec111:
I just wanted to say thanks to all who helped me get my phones going.

I did finally get the no data problem to go away. I think I had confused the network by doing some steps in the wrong order. The solution was to contact Page Plus and do an ESN swap to an older phone, then activate it.

Once everything was working nicely on the old phone, I put by S3 into airplane mode, then contacted Page Plus again to do the ESN swap back to the S3. I reflashed it with all the correct settings (skipping a few steps in here to simplify the answer), and it's now working.

SPR S3 on stock 4.1.2 (flashed to PPC everything working) updated to stock 4.3 (without updating bootloader so that it may remain unlocked and you can downgrade) guide:

1.Grab the Stock Rooted MK3 ROM + wifi fix + KNOX remover from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2541900 (It is basically the 4.3 system, no modem or bootloader update so you can roll back if you wish)

2. Install latest TWRP (google twrp sprint s3) from odin.tar file from official site (use odin 3.0.7 - google it)

3. Boot into TWRP and perform a backup (to sd card, default save area is internal storage)

4. Use TWRP to wipe (factory reset)

5. Install in order: mk3, wifi fix, knox remover, wipe cache/dalvik, reboot to system

6. System will boot up and ask you to select language then hang - let it.

7. After a 3-5 minute hang, you will go through normal setup.

8. (Maybe not necessary, but including because this is what I did) Install 8sms and set up via OP from this thread (I used VZW-MDN= & port 80, I disabled wifi mms, set mms to cellular data only & set max mms size to 128kb)

9. Incoming MMS works, incoming/outgoing SMS works, outgoing MMS does not from stock app or 8sms (tried 80&8080, with and without VZW-MDN=). So install vermms.apk from OP of this thread.

10. Ignore the warning about the vermms app not being compatible. Send test mms, verify results.

11. Done.

I can flash/mod just about anything,but of course im stumped flashing carriers >.<

Im using dfs

sid 4112 is the one i get bars and verizon tower but now shows roaming which it didnt earlier,using pp prl's that were linked in first post.

finally got my hands on a note 2 (sch-i605) running stock 4.3, esn is clean...i'm thinking about putting it on my contract line - it gets double the speeds of my i515 gnex....but i'll probobly just flash it to ppc..anyway, i'm seeing signal drops with the previous owner's old 4g sim in - fluxuates between -61dbm and every once in a while drops to -105dmb (almost service lost). i'm hoping this is being caused by the sim not being registered on the network and not anything to do with the modem or possible physical damage - the phone has been in an otterbox since day 1 so the body and shell is superclean.

anyway, i'll report back on anything goofy i find when flashing this thing - mms related, being able to write to /efs only one time w/o odining back to factory, etc. (hopefully i don't run into too much)

quetions about pageplus flashed htc one

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

hello my friend has been asking me some questions about this device apparently she is being promped for an OTA update.

she bought the phone off ebay and it was already flashed to page plus,. shes asking if the OTA will do any harm to the phone?

I have experience flashing Samsung devices to page plus but I have never come in contact with the HTC ONE. before. so im unsure what to do?

or even what the new OTA will do.

im a little confused as to why the ota is even avalible ot her if she is on pageplus network and not on sprint.

can anyone help?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Do not do the OTA it will most likely hose the flash. It does it as it only needs data to see its available, does not care what carrier it used on.

So by accident I got 3g on a USCC updated to 4.3 tonight....

DMU = 0 . No key written to efs/DMU

I wrote everythign in workshop, everything except evdo stuck

So I wrote everything again, evdo still did not stick

So I opened up DFS, sent SPC, sent SP, read "Data" and "Mobile IP" tab, filled everything out but accidentally wrote 0 in DMU, I hit write about 50 times then i rebooted.

*BOOM* 3G @ 1.6-2.5 Megabits a second :D

Oh, and I couldnt get QPST to "see" the port.

(I had the old USCC SIM card in the whole time)

Hope this helps some USCC flashers

edit: do not hit read after you hit write. hit write multiple times. up to 100x, just to be sure. as always: be careful & i take no responsibility for corrupted /EFS. IDK if you can backup /EFS with ROOT on this device.

That's a little broad to diagnose. Just doing a quick search of username I see you post in other topics here about many different Roms. I am not sure if you have been flashing them or what. But I will say this, some Roms do not play well with flashed devices.

A flashed phone will not and cannot lose the flash unless something happens to it, that includes many things that are mentioned in the main topics here.

Problem with flashed pageplus verizon s3 custom rom

Hey viper.

I got some help from moparfreak flashing ROMs on my s3 flashed to pageplus. I have broken my flash once before because I left my sim card in. I took it out and flashed a custom ROM unofficial cm11 (same that Mopar is successfully running on s3 on page plus) and it seems my flash has broken again. In about phone I have no service and am disconnected. I didn't flash with sim card in. I really need help as I am 15 and my dad will freak if I have to ref lash again as we have paid 50 bucks twice. Thanks sooo much

I followed as much as I could and used DFS and I currently have text and voice. Flashed a stock based 4.1.2 rom, got my prl, appropriate sid, and did the best I could! I would really love some help getting my data back!

PRL will not hurt the flash, but some PRL's may make you lose data or 3G. But if it does just revert back to previous one ;)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] catnapped:
Are there any specific settings for 8sms to auto fetch MMS messages? Tried just about every combination and having no luck with it (just get the "download" button that invokes 3g from wifi but it never downloads anything). The Verizon messages app works correctly with whatever I have set in the hidden MMS settings (opens 3g while on wifi and downloads the photo) so it's not those causing the problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
Honestly I haven't found any mms.apk that works besides

verizon messages, which works 100% of the time

and it has since ICS on Bionic.

I tried 8sms on a USCC S3 on 4.1.2 & 4.3, a Sprint S3 on 4.1.2 & 4.3, a VZW Note 2 on 4.1.1 & 4.3. It did not work on any of these devices, on some it would send MMS but not receive, on others it would receive but not send, and on some it didn't do any MMS.

After digging deeper and finding that

MMS settings are set by APN

, I found that even tho the devices are network unlocked due to FCC mandate, the APN's are still locked (FCC didn't say anything about letting customers access the phone's data features, just device portability).

I've read about a root app that will allow you to edit the APN's on a phone that has locked apn settings.

I even posted about it some time ago in this thread, but I never tried it.

I can't remember the app's name but I do know it was a paid app (1.39USD i think).

I believe I found the info in a thread where folks were putting the S3 or Note2 on T-MO.

I hope this helps.

sorry viper

I was actually talking about an issue i was having. I pm'ed you and donated yesterday.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Yeah the issue with Verizon Messages for most people with a flashed device that requires use of a sim card it will send the mms as the sim cards number.

APN's are in several places not just the normal on the latest Android Versions, even changing the default one will not make it work.

I can make the stock apk work but it requires root and several other edits that are not just a point and click and are phone by phone and carrier dependent. That's why I have not and will not post it here. I don't want people messing up things by attempting.

Verizon messages is a good apk. would be nice if someone could theme it get rid of all the Verizon colors and tidy it up some.

AND FINALLY FOR 4.3 ANDROID YOU GUYS CAN TRY THIS APK AND SEE IF IT HELPS.....
