I have a alltel s3 and i can only get 1x i have flashed hundreds of phones with 3g and these alltel s3 are a pain in the bum . Any advice i have all settings in place and have esn reset with new keys from donor just be sure but only 1x someone please help lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
The Alltel S3 will most likely only get 1X something is different about that phone.

I had one once to test but only for a few hours so I can't give ya much more than that to go on.

IM LOSING MY MIND lol

i have a uscc galaxy s3 on android 4.3 i flashed the phone using a guide a good friend of mine wrote (you may know steven edds)anyways i pulled the keys from the donor without a problem and flashed the phone following the guide as written. the phone never picked up 3g data for some reason and now its constantly dropping signal. it just goes from a good signal to nothing at all (O with the line through it) i have no idea whats up with it can anyone please guide me in the write direction. i dont have cdma ws ive been using DFS(please dont bash me for using it thats just what i learned to flash with so i have been sticking with it) any advice or guidance from the PROS will be appreciated greatly
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Electron Man:
its going from 3G and then to where is the 4G 3G and then to where is the 4G...lol

Change ur settings on second lower tab on dfs...cdma ws is better though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jpickett:
thanks

i dont know what tab you mean and i am sure that cdma ws is better but i dont know how to use it. so i would be in worse shape using it then DFS

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

ok so in DFS should the uc cell s3 be setup with 2 mobile ip profiles like a sprint phone or one? should the active profile be set to 0 or 1? and what should the pref mode be set to? i thought cdma hdr but i am not sure anymore i have been messing with this phone all day and its starting to make me crazy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Uncheck the EVDO Antenna RX Control Under the Data Tab see if that helps.

Even some of the professional flashers I have had to show that, so do not feel bad.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jpickett:
thanks viper

i did that and its still only getting 1x this phone has become my worst nightmare lol its killing me i have everything in the right place and the settings are sticking but it still wont get 3g. i wrote the 10.key into a DMU folder with efs2 and that stuck fine but it still wont get 3g for some reason. not to beat a dead horse but any other advice from the pros
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Ok if you did that and now you are not cycling the data signal then you have something else wrong. Reset the esn and pull your keys again and write again.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jpickett:
Your the man

that did IT!!!!!!! your truly the man. thanks so very much for your help and taking time to get back to me i really appreciate it. i know that doing it this way is prob harder then doing the method that you have viper but thanks for taking the time to help me out. donations coming your way man

Wouldn't make any difference ... The sprint variant you get fully functional with pageplus 3G and MMS with no issues .... the Verizon sometimes you don't need the SimCard ...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thepabster:
May I suggest sticking with the Verizon model, because in a couple days you won't be flashing any non-Verizon handsets to Page Plus Cellular.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] budwdale8jr:
ok so since the new android versions require a sim for data is the key pulling process the same as the old way? or is the flashing process completely changed now? new to flashing and inbetween working twelve hours seven days a week i have been doing alot of homework on this and i think i understand the old process pretty well waiting on new phones to come in so i can play with my wifes old s3 and get it going
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
This is not concrete yet, I honestly think that they will get a extension until later in the year. I know a few people in the upper end of Page Plus and am being told that Page Plus has asked for a extension. By=ut we shall see I guess ;)

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JUSMEJOSE:
Same way nothing has changed .... only the new models require sim card ...

You need allot more than flashing to repair them.

Help with data settings

I paid someone to flash my phone.

He was able to get voice working and plain texts but not data.

The phone has a clean serial but he flashed it over to a net10 phones serial number.

The note2 was originally a sprint phone....it is now supposed to be on Verzion's network using net10.

Can you get my data working?

I have teamviewer, I have the msl, and I the CDMA tool. I have tried adding the data settings myself with no luck.

My wife's phone is the same exact model originally a sprint note 2 but the only difference is I was sold hers with a bad esn.(got ripped off) Hers has working data and voice but no mms; (net10 verizon) The same guy did but phones.

Thanks,

How do I make a USC Galaxy S5 Usable on Page Plus with a blacklisted ESN

I've put a lot of time in trying to research a method to use a US Cellular (Obviously CDMA) Galaxy S5. I've come up short. Before you start flaming me for not reading through the thread, please recognize that there are over 450+ pages in this thread alone... I don't have that kind of mental fortitude.

I'm used to jailbreaking and modding iPhones, this is a whole new animal to me. I normally would never touch a CDMA phone but, by happenstance I came into this one at the lost and found bin at work, I put my name on it, and 90 days later they gave it to me.

I called USC to check the ESN. They started giving me the "Oh, that's not good" business. Told me not to "buy" the phone... I didn't bother explaining that it came from work.

I've rooted the phone and have SuperU installed, I am atleast that capable. Because it's not a GSM phone I can't go the carrier unlock route.

If some one could help walk me through the process of Flashing, which I've never done before, I would greatly appreciate it. There's a ton of verbage, and jargon I'm not quite understanding, as I'm new to dealing in android.

My objective is to flash this device to a prepaid carrier and be able to actually use the thing... Sending and receiving messages and calls, MMS, and Data.

Is this possible? Or should I donate this thing to "will it blend?":o

Thanks in advance, sorry for the long post, and please go easy on me, I'm super new to this. Jailbreaking, and carrier unlocks are easy mode on the IOS.. this android business looks a lot tougher.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] supermaxkato:
viper32 please help!

Viper32; all this info is fantastic; thank you! (I hit the thanks button). :)

I know this thread doesn't specifically say the s4 mini, but I used it to successfully flash an sph-l520 that I picked up on ebay.

It has just a data sim (unlike the verizon version which has the world gsm/lte combo sim), but I can't seem to get around the 4glte sim card error.

If I don't put a sim in, then I get the no sim card error, and the voicemail notifier apk doesn't work.

So I got one from my local sprint store, and when I put that in it goes away for 10 minutes (and voicemails work).

But then it gives me the "network did not respond" error, and then 2 minutes later gives me the "sim card removed" error, and then it's back to voicemails not working.

I know I can do a build prop edit to hide the no sim card message, but my voicemails still won't work.

Any chance your flashing skills have come across a fix for this (primarily for voicemails, but also for the sim card error)?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jjdrp:
Thank you again Viper. That fixed the problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dirkdigles:
So I'm trying to flash a Sprint ND8 kitkat S3 (which I have done successfully several times before) and am running into an issue.

DFS reads the phone fine, but for some reason EFS Explorer within QPST doesn't work. It tries reading the phone, but says the phone is not responding to the "EFS Hello" command.

I've made sure the phone is in diag mode, and am not doing anything differently (as far as I can tell) than I've done before, using the exact same version of QPST that I've used to flash several other ND8 S3's successfully (version .399).

Has anyone else run into this issue? Any troubleshooting steps I can take?

EFS Explorer can still read my i500 Fascinate just fine so I'm thinking it's something to do with the S3 ... not sure what though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mxracer33x:
What are you using QPST for? I got mine (Sprint S3 4.4.2) working with just using DFS and ODIN. I couldn't get 3g data until I changed the Mobil IP tab to PrefMobilIP and a single Profile (just like Ive done with Verizon Razr devices), but its almost 100% now.

Here is an issue I haven't run across yet. When I plug the phone into USB for charging, WiFi will turn on automatically and the phone will switch into roaming. After a few minutes it will reset the radio and go back to standard network. WTF?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Use DFS instead to read it.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dirkdigles:
Ah yeah good call. Just read that you can use the efs2 explorer within DFS to write the DMU / 10.key business.

Anyway did it and everything works now. Thanks!

Hello. I recently flashed a Sprint Galaxy S4 for a customer who lives in New Mexico. I flashed their phone to Page Plus, tested the internet, calling, SMS, MMS, etc, and everything was working perfectly. I configured 8sms for their messaging and confirmed that it worked. I set up their local area code phone number (575) and used a local SID for their location. They received the phone, and everything is working except for the MMS. When trying to receive an MMS through 8sms, it shows as "downloading" but never arrives. When they try to send me a message, it hangs and then shows "mms failed". Does anyone know why this would be happening? Their Page Plus account has an active plan on it.

Summary: flashed a phone in Maine, USA and MMS worked with 8sms app. Then I mailed the phone to New Mexico. Now MMS is failing in New Mexico. Could this be related to PRL or SID configuration?

THANK YOU!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] theroar:
I bought my sim on ebay and then had Viper flash it. He is a pro and worth going through. I had flashed several phones that did not require sims... but failed miserably with the USCC S4.

Just type US cellular sim on ebay. Make sure you pick the right size for your sim tray so you do not need an adapter.

Viper32,

I’m glad to pay you to help, just let me know how much it will cost to fix this:

I have 4 sprint s4 minis (sph-l520) all flashed to verizon and working (with no sims inserted).

This is not a world phone like the verizon mini so the sim card only does data and is not a GSM sim.

But none of them will receive a native voicemail notification without a sim inserted (I used the voicemail notifier apk link you posted).

And if I insert a used lte sim, or a used gsm/lte sim, voicemail notifcations will work for 5 minutes.

But then I get the “network did not respond in time” error, and then the “sim card removed” error, and then voicemail notifications stop.

I have mobile data turned off and network switched to cdma only, stock rom, and all 4 have not been rooted.

But none of them will receive a voicemail notification without a sim.

You mentioned using youmail from google play; but this looks like it requires data to work, and I don’t want visual voicemail or to use data for voicemail.

I have a sim card reader/writer; do I need to modify the sim, or can I disable the simtray all together maybe?

I’m hoping in all your flashing exprience that you’ve flashed a sprint s4 mini and can help?

(Posting this rather than PM in case someone else has ran into this?)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] supermaxkato:
voicemail and data sim

Viper, this could be helpful in your testing.

I decided to root one of the 4 phones and disabled vvm.apk (visual voicemail).

This allowed me to use the dialpad voicemail button to dial my voicemail (instead of going to vvvm).

And also let me change my voicemail number (I like to add my password for convenience).

However, after that same 5 minutes when it eventually gives me the 2 sim card errors, the voicemail settings option becomes grayed out (which could be connected to why voicemail notifications stop working).

So somehow the phone is always looking to the data sim for voicemail information (even when it's not using visual voicemail).

I'm hoping you can somehow determine what that is so we can fix this problem! :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Sorry I have been swamped, I am not sure why you are having sim card errors I never see that....

Typically I instruct users to use the apk from the main page for VM on sprint devices.....

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] supermaxkato:
Yes, that's the apk I used and it stops working after the data Sim card error. Along with the voicemail settings menu becoming grayed out. Hopefully you might have time soon to flash and see if you can replicate the problem. Thank you for your efforts!

Sprint S4 NC6

Flashed the Sprint Galaxy S4 to PP no problem. Everything appears to work (voice, text, 3G data). Was getting roaming notifications whenever I made or received a call. The Roaming section in settings wasn't there anymore like it was on NC5. Flashed the 65002 PRL and that took care of the roaming notifications. Still get the no sim symbol in the notification bar after 5 or so minutes after acknowledging two error indicating the phone couldn't contact the network and the sim card was being locked since it couldn't be activated. Tried a verizon sim in place of the sprint sim and the verizon sim wasn't accepted at all by the firmware. Thought of rooting and using buildprop editor to add the ro.config.donot_nosim=true, but read that with the locked bootloader this setting wouldn't stick on a reboot anyway so don't waste your time and trip your knox for nothing. Any other suggestions on getting rid of the no sim symbol in notification bar?

I haven't seen any difference in flashing between Jelly Bean and KitKat. Don't need root to flash to PP.

DMU keys

Hey guys - Has anyone been able to figure out why DMU keys work for: Verizon Note 2, Sprint Note 2, Sprint Note 3

The weirdest one is that they work on a Sprint Note 3 but not a Verizon Note 3. Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Acejoker:
Thanks fellas.. the problem was actually it had to have a sim card in it.. damn verizon phone.. I had one out of a motorola (vodaphone) that I trimmed down and it worked like a charm.. took it a while for the symbol and data to come through.. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shelnian:
I have flashed CM roms after flashing to PP with no issues. The problem comes if you need to re-flash to PP again for some reason. The CM based roms need a script to get back into diag mode and seem to cause problems when re-flashing. Usually have to flash back to TW rom before re-flashing to PP again.

Also, any phone that was OTA upgraded to 4.3 or above has a locked bootloader making it very difficult to customize. For these phones I have saferooted them and used system app remover to remove bloatware. There are postings showing which apps can be removed with no impact to phone operation. Use can also use Titanium backup pro to freeze other apps.
