ROM running Android 4.3 lost Data

Hi Viper,

You flashed my USCC S3 phone a few months ago. After you flashed it, I loaded a custom ROM (LiquidSmooth 2.9) running Android 4.2 and everything still worked great.

I just tried flashing their new ROM ver. 2.10 running Android 4.3 and I lost my data. It just won't connect to data at all.

Fortuntely I had made a Nanroid backup and restored that back - data and 3g were back working again.

Any ideas as to why the new ROM killed the data? Was it the ROM or 4.3 .. or either?

Any way to get data to work on 4.3? Or is there something - some setting - that I could change on the phone without doing a reflash?

Thanks..

Need someone to remote flash Verizon S4 to Page Plus

I recently purchased a Verizon S4 from a friend and would like to find someone who I can pay to flash the S4 to Page Plus with full 3g and working data/mms/etc.

I have purchased a new sim card and am ready to connect it to my computer for the remote flash.

Can someone help?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Well maybe you message me ;)

Make sure that its in CDMA Only mode after you do 4.3, thats most likely your issue.

Well I may not be a recognized developer yet but I am a developer and I have been a developer of computer arts for well over 12 years. I debranded the sprint sg3 and Verizon sg3 and sold them. because i needed the money aside from buying and selling on ebay I have no job .now im working with the sprint sg4 and as of this morning I have it desprinted. a rom. totally.

Im working with other developers on different roms learning my way around android kitchen and aroma installer configurations. Im working around the clock. 247. Im not legaly allowd to get a real job right now my lawyer says because im disabled honistly. and fighting for ssi which im not receving yet. and not even sure if im going to get. but my back is pretty messed up so I honestly have no income and I work for free. If you want to donate to me that would be greatly appreciated. im working on a lot of different improvments.

I do have plenty of free time and I don't spend it playing video games ither I try to be as progresave as possible. my first rom I spent 3 years learning how to buld windows phone os and curtently have one of the most popular custom windows phone 7.8 roms for one of the most popular devices on xda. the hd2 so I know how to buld wp os pretty well and I got that under wraps wp8 is pritty much the same I plan om bulding a wp8 rom one day if I ever get my hands on a 1920 x 1080 wp device but I have now been learning android development for about 4 months now.

last cuople days I have been working with team venum on some different stuff for the note 3 and sg4 & working mainly to bring a debranded android 4.3 rom to some devices and also to get galaxy gear fully working with the sg4.

I am planning on making mainly stuff for prepaid providers!

I was a video game designer for well over 10 years before I got in to web development 4 years ago and then came to xda about 2 years ago.

I have a lot of photoshop & 3ds max under my belt my skills with art are well extreamly talented spelling maybe not so great. its imposible to be the best at everything. as for my programing skills well I strive to be the best I can. im more experinaced with Silverlight than java personaly.

I have always worked with Microsoft software. so everything im doing now is a new ballgame but still a lot of the same skills apply.

art logos banners icons and even animations theres really nothing I cant do there.

I am also A+ certified when it comes to hardware. and have built computers for games and repaired laptops for students for over 5 years.

Id say my hobby turned in to my job in about 2005. that's when I started takeing my hobbys more seriously. and I do feel as it has payed off to maybe im not making a lot of money but I have ganed much knowlage & knowlage is power. the time I have spent is worth more than money.

right now im like Develop or Die mode! Im addicted. lol.

let me know if there is anything I can do.

I just got finished with a new universal boot ani for the sg4 to replace the Verizon or Sprint boot ani

hear.

Is that your Resume? I was about to hire you if so ;) :good:

No-one said you could not do the work, for that matter I hope you can for folks. My statement was not directed at you, but rather as even you stated you will need some help from Recognized Developers to do the job.....

I also do a little development but my problem is I work 60-70 hrs. every week and then do flashes, which i am told everyday by some that it is not work ;) :D

So in essence my time is limited and I feel its allot for valuable for me to continue what I do and not jump into something else.

Good luck I am sure people will be rooting for you, I suggest you start a thread for the development side of what you are trying to achieve.

That way maybe it will garner more attention from people that may possibly contribute that may pass by this thread due to it being a flashing thread.

1st flash for a noobie - have some questions

assuming a sprint galaxy s3 trying to flash to page plus

1. At which point when flashing do I need to activate for page plus? Before, after, during? I need a number for the flashing process, right?

2. what is 10.key used for?

3. what is OTA programming used for?

4. i am planning on trying out using nevell's guide. do i only need a donor if i try for 3g? what keys are extracted from a donor?

thanks guys. i tried searching for these things and i did not find any concrete answers. I'm really sorry if they have been answered before. I was going to get it remotely flashed, but as I am really tight on money, decided to just try and flash it myself.

THat was funny, viper I asked a question earlier when you send the MSL ZEROING OUT script do you use CDMAWS paid version? and can the demo version be used as well?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Yes demo should work for that ;)

Sorry missed that.....

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eznacho:
Thanks for quick reply

Any way you can kind of make a mini tutorial NEVELL style for that ? :) Do I use Terminal or AT COMMANDS on (MAIN TAB) using CDMAWS 2.7.0 or if you have pictures that would be kind.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
No use in a tutorial..... (Very Simple)

Connect CDMA

Send 16 Digit Password

Select Terminal

Select Script (Load the script and and let it finish its work)

Then send 000000 as MSL and you are good to go.........

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eznacho:
The thing about the DEMO version I have is, there is way to "SELECT SCRIPT" with it... so should I send command lines manually?

BTW THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR WORK :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:

Viper, On the LiquidSmooth 2.10 (ver 4.3) ROM I tried your suggestion and made sure I had it set only to CDMA/EVO mode - but it still wouldn't connect to data.

I tried the Cyogenmod ROM (ver 4.3) as well... and though it looked like it was connecting to data - the Android Keyboard kept force closing... so I just went back to my backup of the LiquidSmooth 2.9 ROM (ver 4.2) I've been on for several months. It works great, so I'm going to stick with that.

I'm having fun learning about flashing. Lots of info... good and not so good. Anyway, I've got my phone flashed with 1x data using the demo DFS. I also got the HA and AAA using a donor phone (Fascinate). Weird thing is that when I write the values in DFS, I lose all data. No 3G, nada.

Any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eznacho:
What phone do you have? That you are flashing? also... when you get the 3g keys from the fascinate are you getting them after you have made your first test call... I know that when I3pulll gkkeys after I activate but before I test call (for english press 1 Para español oprima 2 call) it doesn't pull the right 3g keys

I lost my 3G when I updated to a 4.3 version of liquidsmooth
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goldentuna:
I notice from your 'signature' that you're on a US Cellular Phone ... as am I. I wonder if the hardware is the issue somehow with losing 3G on android 4.3

Although ... like I had mentioned before - Cyanogenmod 'looked' like it was connecting to data but I could never get to the home screen because the keyboard kept force closing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] agapedisciple:
It's a Sprint S3. I didn't make a test call nor did I check 3G on the Fascinate so maybe that's the issue.

Do you know why the shared keys would change from OTA programming after the first phone call?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
u always have to check to see if data work on a donor

HELP!! Lost my phone# and maybe PRL

So.. instead of just leaving things alone .. I tried a couple of other v4.3 ROMs (Cyanogenmod & Carbon & LiquidSmooth) ... to test the idea of having just setting the CDMA mode would work. Thought I could help out by testing ...

Now I'm seeing that the issue probably is that the new ROMs somehow changed my phone number to 828-778-0822 (which is not mine) ... and the PRL version is 15119 (I can't remember what the PRL was before) So, now I'm in Roaming mode ... not connected to anything cell towers or data.

I'm on SelectTel using a USC S3.

Reversing to my Nandroid backup this time won't get me back to my real phone#, etc.

Viper .. (anyone) .. is there a way to change my phone# and if needed the PRL myself .. or do I need to have you reflash my phone?

Also ... doing a *#22745927 on the dial pad does nothing .. can't get to any hidden menus

I filled in the HA and AAA keys. What about for the PAP, PPP, HDR AN, HDR AN Long, and HDR AN PPP? Is this Pwd different than the HA or AAA key? I read several posts and see conflicting info.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goldentuna:
Whew .. so I'm guess I'm back..

Here's what I ended up doing .. I thought of pulling my SIM (since it appeared that it was the SIM where my weird phone number and PRL were coming from) and restoring my Nandroid backup.

That didn't help ... it just showed 'number unknown' .. I put the SIM back in > rebooted > same weird phone# and PRL .. searching the web to maybe find some codes to put in to change my phone # I found a suggestion to just put in my phone# in contacts as 'Me' ... I did that > rebooted > and lo and behold my phone# was back and the correct PRL (65002)

So .. I'm not sure if that's what was going on with the v4.3 ROMs - not finding 'Me' in the contact list and then not having a phone# to use ...

I don't know if that's it .. but I'm not going to test and find out .. my phone is back working .. and I'm sticking with it ... v4.3 just ain't worth it.

Although .. I still can't get the *#22745927 to work..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] catnapped:
You'll need the PPP password from your donor as well as the HA and AAA keys. When you get the PPP key, you'll also stick that into the HDR An Long box (they're the same).

As MrHunter13said, you have to make a test call (and the other end has to answer) for the keys to populate correctly on the donor.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joew134:
So changing ROMs can break flash?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Well it can be hit and miss...

1. Some developers do things differently and the results on that Rom can break a flash.

2. New Rom with a new Radio most likely will break the flash.

3. Factory reset on some phones probably will cause issues also.

4. 4.3 Roms seems to be a problem with a preflashed phone from a lower version of Android.

5. 4.3 seems to be fine if you flash to that version, its the upgrading to 4.3 after a flash that is causing issues.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goldentuna:
UPDATE:

... Well.. the 'fix' didn't 'stick'. It worked for a while, but then with another reboot I was back without service, etc.

The diag code not working apparently was also due to the custom ROM.

I ended up going back to a factory ROM and having Viper reflash my phone ... which he did with patience and sacrifice of his sleep ...

Thanks Viper!!

I still think the LiquidSmooth 2.9 ROM will work fine as it did from the first time Viper flashed my phone .. and dispite his warnings I may still flash the ROM in a few days (going out of town and need my phone working) - I just really like the ROM and Android v4.2 ... but I'm definately curing my ROM flash addiction and staying away from v4.3 for now.

Thanks to all of you who helped and especially to Viper for this great thread!

Viper .. or can anyone tell me the difference between the Diag Phone Utilities apks on the OP?

HiddenMenu_No_Root.apk

PhoneUtilss.apk

I tried installing the PhoneUtilss.apk on the LS ROM, but the 'install button' didn't respond - and wouldn't install.

Has anyone tried to make either or both of these into flashable zips?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] agapedisciple:
Great. I'll check this out when I get access to my friend's Fascinate again. It may be sooner than I thought...

He called me today and said that the 3G on his Fascinate is not working. A few days ago, I switched the MEID with the target phone, did OTA programming, read the HA and AAA keys, then switched the MEID back to it's original value and did OTA programming again. Any ideas how could haved messed up his 3G?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eznacho:
For whatever reason if you read the 3g keys before the 1st test phone call they are different than after the 1st test phone call when it asks you "PRESS 1 FOR ENGLISH or 2 FOR ESPANOL" then it says " YOUR BALANCE IS LOW PLEASE ADD MONEY NOW"... after that message the 3g keys change after you read them... IDK Why but that's how it works... so yes test phone call press 1 for english or 2 for spanish and then make sure the call goes through, then read the 3g keys and stuff, make sure you write to profile 0 then change the TARGET PORT back to donor phone (MAKE SURE THE DONOR PHONE IS NOT CONNECTED TO COMPUTER ANYMORE). click on the PROFILE 1 BUBBLE, then RIGHT CLICK ON IT enable it, change active profile to 1. CHANGE TARGET PORT TO SPRINT S3, then write on both sides

Zero out MSL using CDMAWS Demo Version

Most importantly I just want to thank VIPER without his MSL FIXED text and his constant supervision of this thread helping everyone here out with their questions this wouldn't have ever been done. This answers the questions for ZERO out MSL for GS3 and NOTE 2 without having to downgrade I'm sure it will work for other phones also like GS4 please VIPER LMK if this works for all phones.

First of all make sure you have your phone on a COM PORT 25 or LOWER.

If you don't know how to do it just go to device manager, ports, right click on COM port where your phone is, properties, port settings tab, advanced, and change port setting to 25 or lower. Unplug and plug your USB cable back in.

1. Open CDMAWS Demo

2. Select port on COM SETTINGS.

3. Click connect.

4. Send 16 DIGIT PASSWORD by going to SECURITY tab.

5. Click on TERMINAL tab.

6.Copy and paste

00

4B13030000000000

4B130F006E766D2F6E756D2F383500

4B1308006E766D2F6E756D2F383500

4B1305000000000000000000303030303030

4B13030000000000

6a. Click send after every line you copy and paste.

after all lines have been sent, you can close out CDMAWS
