My dad's having trouble with his Page plus S3 still. Upstate NY.

Does anyone have a link to the "65005 PRL Newest Modded PRL https://www.dropbox.com/s/47j7yeq20bhjmt8/65005.prl" for Sprint Galaxy S3? That download link is dead. I've been meaning to try this on our phones to see if it helps fix a couple roaming and out of service errors around my house (where we are supposed to have complete VZ MVNO coverage).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] semifast:
Are there any settings, etc. I need to get from a Sprint S4 while it's still activated on Sprint ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Titchener17:
Not sure maybe when I was small, but do you know what happened to the time capsule at The Cardinal ? Born and raised here, and though have been to a lot of of different places mostly from either playing or going to see music/friends I love Raleigh no doubt !

Have my secondary SPH-D710 flashed to Page Plus and am wondering if installing that latest modded PRL or any will break the flash ? I think I am understanding correctly that changing modem or installing a new rom will break the flash. I also wonder if editing the MAC to the Verizon hot spot would give me 4G or send my flash PACKing ? No burning questions as I am just trying to learn what I can for the most part from all these awesome devs like Viper sure seems to be, and the many solid folks here in the community.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wpcprez:
this was due to a major outage for all verizon mnvos. They should all be up now.

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

the activate doesn't hurt anything. I'm on a gs3 on the latest update. I also recently converted to bonestock rom so I can get some gs4 features as well as the note2 keyboard. Had some struggle getting the MMS working without the APK mentioned above but now I'm working fine. What specific issues do you have?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Ok first off, I noticed that it has been communicated that Page Plus had some issues today due to Verizon Network problems.

Whatever any of you do thats probably reading here do not call Page Plus and follow the direction they will give you to *228 etc.

If you do you will have to reflash your phone or most likely pay someone to redo the work.

I would have been on earlier to post this but as you could imagine my phone and inbox have been blowing up ;)

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
I fixed the link, the reason it goes down and so many people linking to the downloads from other sites. I get warning all the time from dropbox because of the amount of downloads.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] njdan30:
I get calls everyday from people doing just that with their phones
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wpcprez:
funny, I've never had an issue using *228 on any phone flashed to page plus. Maybe it's just me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
^^Results vary by model. I've seen some where data stops working only - calls/texts still functions. On other models, there is no connectivity at all.

Given the possible results, best not to mess with it unless you can fix it yourself or be prepared to pay someone to do it again. To the person doing the flash it's evident why data and/or calls are not working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Good Response :)

I for one when I read the phone can tell if they have done a *228 or one of its variants. And it will 90% of the time screw up the flash in one way or the other period. So as I have posted previously things not to do with a flashed phone if you do them are cardinal ways to mess your flash up.

I would hope by now, I would know... But who knows maybe I am completely wrong ;)

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] njdan30:
I get people with allot of phones that will make it say roaming and no 3g at all but calls yes they sometimes work

Sprint vs verizon s3

I have a verizon s3 and it is working 3G on vzw prepaid and has never stopped I don't overuse data at all but I do watch YouTube and pandora. My brother and mother have sprint s3's on vzw prepaid and there data will not work. Anyone have any idea why this is? All of the phones were flashed with the key pulls etc. oh, also do you think going from the s3 to the s4 is worth the upgrade? The only thing I'm worried about is that there isn't any simultaneous talk/data on the s4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
I would rather we not engage in discussions of Verizon Prepaid flashing here in my topic as I do not agree with the methods of Cloning ESN's to obtain service.

Not to mention the cloning of ESN's is not looked upon lightly on XDA and I have spent way to much time with this thread to take chances it be taken down.....

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ironsuperman:
S3 vs s4

Oh I apologize I didn't know that that was an issue. I won't ever mention that service again. But as far as the s3 vs s4 goes do you think it is worth the upgrade.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
I like the S4 much better but it all comes down to whether you want to spend the extra money. Lot more custom Roms for the S3 and acc.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] grimdemon1:
Hey, I flashed my verizon galaxy s4 to pageplus but now I want to use it with the regular verizon network. I did a hard reset and activated my verizon sim card but the call or text does't work and the data works (3G only). I don't understand what's the problem. Any help please?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Need to set it back to R-UIM so it will read sim card. Sounds like it is still working off the flash.......

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] loribuono:
I'm on a Verizon Nexus that I programmed for PagePlus, and everything's working okay except MMS. I restored the APN settings from the pageplus.xml file provided in this thread, and that hasn't helped. I can send MMS messages using GoSMS, but only if I send it as a GoSMS message, meaning the recipient will only see an actual picture if they're using GoSMS, too (as I understand it). Otherwise, they get a link to a picture, and I don't want my pictures roaming around the Internet.

But I can't figure out how to configure my APN settings to make this work. I don't even know what APN means or what those settings do, but I can follow directions, if someone can help me out with this. I followed the instructions here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBIP8sRCUQQ) to get my phone on PagePlus, so I'm using whatever was provided in these steps.

Thanks in advance!

Viper and others..

I'm new the flash world and I have a Sprint Galaxy S4. I have a real bad sprint service in my area..

I was able to flash my phone with Verizon latest PRL 65005 but I don't see that I'm getting good speed. Is there any PRL version would give a better speed or LTE speed to verizon network?

I got the PRL from this link -http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=41195590#post41195590

If anyone care to share the PRL link that really works well?

Thanks everyone..

Do we need any certain Kernel version for the PRL update to stick?

It looks like my phone is only with US Cellular but not using the verizon at all. How do I check the PRL on my S4.

Do we need any version of ROM for this to work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] funone46:
settings/about phone/status then read the prl

kernel should make no difference as far as I know

sounds like a bad flash but could be wrong

EVO 4g and 3g speed on pageplus

Hi Viper and the community,

Succesffuly flashed my HTC EVO 4g to pageplus. I was able to OTA the keys via loading verizon prl and *228, after which I reloaded a pageplus sprint prl. It is showing 3g under settings. Not 1x. However speedtest is 14Kb/s down. This seems like 1x speed. I checked under M.ip and PPP config and it does shows HA/AA keys. Pwd for PPP is filled in automatically. Please enlighten me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
^^All sprint devices ALWAYS show 3g regardless of connection.

You are connected at 1x. Most don't even get that with a *228. To get the full/proper 3g, you need a flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] loribuono:
Just did that, installed it and entered my number and carrier. Still can't send MMS messages. And is that just another messaging app? Ideally, I'd like to use GoSMS, as I like all the configuration available. Are there any settings on my phone I can check, to be sure they're correct?

Thanks!

Rant

*RANT*...

This has to be the most frustrating thread I've ever dealt with. I've flashed numerous phones to numerous carriers and have never had to feel as much pain as I have with this phone and this thread.

Thank you viper for all the great information compiled into one place but I must say... This is literally like telling the world you have the most amazing cookie recipe ever made, listing all the ingredients but not telling how to mix them, how much to use or how long to bake.

Your reason on the front page is "you have your own reasons" for not listing instructions.. Clearly it's because "helping" others flash their phones means charging them and lining your pockets.

I got my phone working and the only information from this thread that actually helped me get there were the dialer codes to get into the hidden menus, that's it. The rest I managed to figure out from a mish mash of varies threads through various forums.

It is possible to do this yourself and for free. I used a combination of CDMA WS 2.7, qpst and dfs. I also bought a fascinate off ebay for $50 so now I have a permanent donor phone.. I chose to go this route instead of paying someone to flash a phone every time I want to upgrade my device.

I really feel for those who are new to this scene and just want to get a better phone on Page Plus. Unfortunately I do not have the time to support people so Viper I commend you on keeping so active on your threads... But good lord man, share the information that's what these forums are for... not for making a profit! :eek:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
First off, lets get things straight.

From Day One I said I was not putting out a Guide....

I am pretty sure I stated this exactly below:

1. Keep a list of PRL's that work with Page Plus with no roaming symbol...

2. Maintain a summary of how to get into Diag Mode on all phones and methods to get your SPC/MSL on Sprint Phones....

3. Post a list of Roms recommended by users that work well with flashed phones by Carrier and type.....

4. Post useful Apks,, 16 Digit Passwords, and other instructions on flashing the phones.......

5. Maintain a Current List of Page plus Sids for Flashing..........

6. Make this a thread that people can come to and discuss issues etc....

Now I am fairly confident that I have done just as I stated besides #3 which I attempted to but ended up a mess.

I am sorry if you are all frustrated because I want put out a guide but that is not why I started the thread. My purpose was to get people to learn by trial and error with the tools provided, not to spoon feed them. If you want to really learn to do things this is a good topic. If you want a step by step handheld guide its not.

** It amazes me that all the work and help that is put out here that people still complain or get frustrated, MAYBE THAT'S WHY ALLOT OF USE QUIT POSTING AND PUTTING INFO OUT AT ALL **

hey Viper I have a US Cellular galaxy s3 and I'm trying to get it flashed over the problem I'm having is getting the prl and sum settings to stick with cdmaws paid its on 4.0.4..I have a sim card in it however only certain things to stick such as the phone number min and some other stuff and according to CDMA Workshop it does change but within the phone menu it shows different.anyhow I decided I would try flashing a different ROM because that usually has worked for me but I cannot get any ROM to flash to this device with clockworkmod twip all roms I have tried say status 7 aborted..tried flashing different modems using ODIN but keep getting told they are invalid anyhow since you know so much about this stuff I was hoping if this at all sounds familiar for you and thanks again for your time

Do not flash it with the sim card in it, when you reinsert sim card though it will show whats on the sim card under the settings but the actual written settings will be used.

can't read in qpst

Hey Viper and the community,

I have the samsung galaxy victory 4g lte from sprint and want to flash this over to pageplus. I cannot get qpst to read this phone. It connects fine but every time I hit read from phone, it would go 1/4 of the way and then a message pop ups saying phone failed to respond to read and write commands. I have tried multiple versions of qpst. I have no problem reading phone from CDMAWS demo or DFS. Any ideas how I can access qpst to write data???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ganjamatik:
my first thought probably isn't the best answer but why not just use dfs then to write what u need - I mean especially if its successfully reading and writing in dfs then the drivers etc are correct

s4

I have the verizon s4 bought a sim card from ebay and trying to get on page plus.

i rooted the device

i put the device into diag mode with the .apk

I was able to open DFS put the PWD for VZ in and see the programming > NAM , I added the prl for verizon, wrote it

I found my SID for page plus, I tried writing it but getting CPS_ERROR BAD_PARAM in the log file. (not sure what NID is)

I am trying to find a more in depth tutorial but I feel I am missing something, can anyone help ?

EDIT

So I needed to find my SPC (which I believe is all 0s) and needed to send to device and send the PWD to the device which seems to be working.

hey all just checking back again if anyone can offer advice or assist me in getting this us cellular s3 to get off roaming -since im using a working nam that works on a sprint s3 I nknow its not the nam file and in using CDMA WS 3.9 - I tried flashing it with and without the sim card but it never fails to stay in roaming and laugh at me when im done.. lol since I cant flash a new rom im pretty much stuck with only the option of asking the higher ups for advice- thx! will compensate with atleast a beer or 2 no prob just so I can get rid of this phone after :)-
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WackyJoe:
PRL...that's all

You just need to flash a non-roaming PRL.

I'm guessing you have it on Page Plus?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/7wq2l107s1gi0if/52505-NO ROAM.prl

Try that out.

Just go into CDMA WS and connect, send spc, find the OTHER tab and inside it you will see PRL (default should be Universal Nam1) and just click WRITE and point to where you saved this file. Should be simple enough.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ganjamatik:
hey thanks I just did that however there was no change- I tried writing it with and without the sim card in however still have roaming no service
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WackyJoe:
Hmm...sounds like something is off then.

Your NAM may not be right...or something.

You should not need the SIM card at all. Leave it alone, chuck it to the side...it'll only help mess things up.

Rom and all that should not matter at this point...you can connect to CDMA WS, send spc.

I usually don't help on these subjects but I've got a little time to kill...so, tell me what you've done so far...

Programmed donor...tested it for all connections, extracted nam...then...?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ganjamatik:
well I thought that same thing but the same nam works perfect on a sprint s3 witch is why its so frustrating
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WackyJoe:
PM me your team viewer...like I said I've got a few mins.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
If he was using a prl from my post then it want be the problem with the roaming. As far as people thinking you can just copy one Nam from one carrier device to the same device from another carrier your asking for trouble doing this.
