lolwut? You posted a script for a utility called "CBP7 ETS 8.5.6 (ETSP 6.6.0)", I was merely stating fact's.

You told him to try to use a script meant for a utility that will not work with any phone other than a Galaxy Nexus.

EFS is the area on the phone that contain's NV items. ETS is the name of the PST used when flashing VIA chipset's.

The only script I recall Viper32 mentioning was one to zero out the SPC/MSL, although one can do much more with scripting NV flashing through CDMAWorkshop.

And to answer your question, you can get your mdn and min by going to menu > settings & tools > phone information > phone number ;)

Oh, you have an android? Menu > Settings > About > Status ;)

I said you were confused, I didn't call you stupid.

The cat has not been let out of the bag yet,

you can pull 3g keys without a donor

. How to is the proverbial cat.

If you feel that dealer rewards is the cat, then you are not paying attention. This topic is for phone flashing, not independent agents to complain about their lack of marketing.

Personally, I admire what Viper32 has done here. I'm not saying it's the best business model, but I'm sure it does a nice job "supplementing".

And why would you steer someone away from small business in favor of corporate? Corp is going to charge 10 dollars for the activation and the indie dealer loses an activation reward and the chance to sell a phone at a discounted rate (because he will make it back in PINs). No one wins in this scenario.

I think the 3 posts between this one and my previous...I think people are confused, and maybe suffering from a case of the Monday's.

Everybody be calm, have a proper cup of tea, and remember we are here to help each other with factually correct information.

We are not here to bait, troll, guess or to steal customer's from OP. If that is your goal, create a new thread, provide support and links and maybe someone will want your services.

16 digit password suddenly does not work anymore?

I flashed my Epic 4g touch to a new ROM (4.1.2 Jellyverse), Flashed the appropriate JB Modem (GB27). Data doesnt work, so I assumed I need to look at my Data/EVDO settings, reflash the PRL...

but I cant get access to my Phone through DFS. It does not accept the 16-digit password anymore. I used this same password to flash my phone to page plus when i got it last month. Am I going crazy?

please help :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
another script...from autoprime

blah blah blah
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
it Don't matter what modem u on ...its basically the same the profiles are not written right
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] easymachtdas:
the issue is not that my data does not work, the issue is that i i cannot change any settings on my phone because my phone wont accept the 16 digit password...

I did not think that changing the rom would change what 16 digit password is needed... this doesnt make any damn sense -_-
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
Does anyone have a good link for QPST 2.7.422 ? dev-host link is showing that qualcomm.exe is infected with "Backdoor:Win32/Fynloski.A", which i don't believe is a false positive - I've never had any version throw a warning in my Anti-Virus. But if someone can verify for me... Thanks in advance.

Nandroid back to TW ROM and verify 16 digit SP works with the newer Radio/Modem that you flashed.

After you verify that works, reflash custom rom and verify your DIAG connection settings.

You may be able to just verify DIAG settings, maybe you have RMNET selected?

Well let's put it straight....... (Cat out if the Bag)

The topic was put here to help plain and simple. If it becomes a topic that creates friction between members, I will ask that it is removed. I am about to the end of the road with all the accusations etc. By some.

Get along, help each other and learn the process. If you are just coming here to disagree with others then stay away.

I work 12hrs. a day, 5 days most weeks and then try to keep this up. I can now see why some of the other flashing experts pulled out.

I am not around and don't plan to be all day everyday to monitor this topic. I just ask that all keep it civil and get along.

Flashing is most definitely not my livelihood and never will be. It is a hobby and will always remain a hobby. If it became a Business then I would not do out. I have to much work already.

I think the issue is that in the OP, it states that this thread was created to help others and get 3G working on PagePlus. Unfortunately however, the most important thing that's missing are the actual steps to get 3G working. Reading through the last few posts, my observation tells me that this has been perceived as being hidden on purpose.

I have no interest in Pageplus, someone PM'd me over the weekend asking me for assistance. I have very little knowledge when it comes to Pageplus flashing so I directed that user in this thread. So I looked here for the exact steps needed, and I couldn't find it to help him. That's what brought me here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] solidus23:
Are you sure you have the correct port? Same thing happened to me and I found out my PC assigned a different port to the phone. Go to run command and type devmgmt.msc . See what port is assigned :beer:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Well unless i am missing something I am pretty sure that I have done exactly what I stated in the OP that is pasted below........

Anyways, it does not matter as I will make some changes real soon most likely.....

Viper

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

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

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

Now I am not good at writing Guides and truthfully at this time have no desire to do so, but I will however try my best to help you along the way when my time is available. So please I ask do not flood my Inbox with request for a guide etc. (Post here so others can contribute and everyone can learn together)

One thing I have learned over the years of flashing devices is its better to think it through and work by trial and error so you can truly learn the skill of performing successful flashes.

(Please everyone keep it civil and make this a community effort to help each and everyone)

No one here can and should dispute that you've given a lot of your time to help others. Speaking as objectively as I can by observing others' perceptions here, they've seen bits and pieces to solve the puzzle. The puzzle can't be completed however without all the pieces clearly visible on the table.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Samsung_GS3_PPC:
I had to use a different/newer password for my GS3 than what's mentioned in 99% of the old threads about it here....not suprising that you need one.

Can't imagine it would be too hard to find-- just stay away from any thread about the Epic that predates 4.1.2. Definitely not crazy though.

For some reason I can't write the prl in dfs. I can read everything but when I write and reboot it doesn't stick. Any suggestions would be appreciated
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Setec111:
I'm sorry for my lack of knowledge here. I just got my shiny used Sprint Galaxy S3, L710, and I'm looking forward to getting it set up on Page Plus. I know there are a few things that I'm supposed to do to get it ready before contacting Viper for help, but this thread is so huge, I can't seem to find that list of prerequisites.

Can someone list (and hopefully get it copied to the 1st page) the items to do before getting started?

I think it was something like:

1. download and install _____ video program to a windows 7 computer (can't find the post with its name)

2. create a page plus account

3. flash the phone back to the stock 4.1.1 using odin

Then PM viper to get things moving.

Now, if I've got any of that right, I've tried and failed.

1. I can't find the posts that talk about which program to install. I've read about 150 of the 313 pages in here at one point or another, but I can't find it today.

2. I tried to create a page plus account, but customer service told me I couldn't create an account without having the phone esn to get it set up. (Should I have given him the esn from my currently 4g sprint s3? I thought I was supposed to wait until it was flashed to add that information to the account.)

3. The phone as I received it is running Android 4.3 L710VPUCMK3. I've seen it posted multiple times that I should NOT try to downgrade firmware from 4.3 or it will brick the device.

So what have I done? I installed the Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit v7.0 that was linked in the 1st post. I watched the how-to and downloaded the file for the safe root, but I did not root the phone yet. All I've actually done is installed drivers and put the phone into developer mode (with usb debugging on).

What is my next step? I'd love to do this on my own (because I'll have to do a 2nd one for my wife in a couple weeks), and I just want to understand what's going on with my phone. I know that there are trade secrets and presumably require paid software to complete the task, so my plan is to ask viper for help. I just don't want to waste anyone's time with prep work that I should have already completed on my own.

-Thanks in advance

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Samsung_GS3_PPC:
Sorry, Not sure why they'd be dead already. I'd probably just lead you astray by trying to point you towards other sources.

By the way- just curious-- nothing against Viper, but with all the time you've spent researching, and all the work you're doing here-- why don't you just flash it yourself? All the software you need is free, and the only extra expense will be an appropriate donor phone that you can use again and again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
the free software is good for 1 use only flashes or wat not ...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Samsung_GS3_PPC:
Was this in response to what I wrote?

I used the demo of CDMA WS 3.9.9, free version of DFS to write the settings that CDMA WS doesn't.

Guessing I could have done all in DFS with a DFS specific tutorial.

One of these is only good for one flash?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
its just alil more work with the free software to me.. I started off with dfs qpst and its OK ...I still use dfs with my paid cdma work shop to read phones sometimes I was just saying if u wanna make alil easier on your self u can do many flashes with the free programs
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Samsung_GS3_PPC:
I can definitely see that if you're flashing phones regularly.... but to pay $100 for software when you're only looking to flash your own phone maybe 2 or 3 times a year (hopefully less!) ... I can live with the extra work.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Setec111:
I'm still new here, but as I understand it, not having the 10.key file on your phone would cause the 3G signal to constantly go in and out, which could be described as "trippy". I think this is only an issue if you're working with the Sprint version of the phone. 10.key is linked in the first post.

On one phone I'm looking at buying, the MEID is still listed as activated by Sprint. I talked to the guy, and he said he has cancelled the account and switched to a new cell service on a different phone. Sprint told him they were going to keep it open for 50 days in case he changed his mind.

My question is would this prevent me from being able to activate the phone on Page Plus? Would I have to wait the month and a half until Sprint closes the account, or would just going through activation on Page Plus transfer that over automatically?

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but I didn't see one that would be specific to this type of service provider question.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
No it will not prevent you from putting on Page Plus. Not a issue at all....

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Setec111:
I just noticed that to activate a phone with a new number on Page Plus, they want to charge $10. Does that sound right? I thought getting a number would be free. Is that new thing or have they always charged for it?

<edit>

To all who are offering to activate for free, THANK YOU. It is nice to feel the love from the community. I have already got my phones activated with new numbers. I still wonder why Page Plus wants to charge for it, though.

I think I have successfully rooted the phone (saferoot method from beginning posts), and I thought I'd try the SPCUtility.apk that was listed at the beginning posts. It didn't work on my Sprint Galaxy S3 4.3 (build JSS15J.L710VPUCMK3).

It gave me an error when I tried to install the app from Astro File Manager (after allowing unknown sources). The error box pops up saying "There is a problem parsing the package".

I doubt this will actually be a problem. I should be able to get it easily enough with the 16 digit passkey, but I thought I'd pass the info along in case the file needs updated.

SOLVED:

I found another link to the SPCUtility that worked for me:

Go to the flashingtools website (use google) and download the Android MSL Reader from there.

i dont know if you check your other post in the gs3 verizon forums. but can you still do this if you took the 4.3 ota for verizon gs3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
Yes. Yes you can, you will now need a used vzw 4g lte sim. That is all that has changed afaik. That and MMS APN now requires MDN in the URL string.

Oh...and your bootloader is locked, but I'm sure you knew that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Timothy08:
yeah... but we are close on getting it done... i think someone already unlocked it for the gs4 and they are in beta for the gs3.. and i had vzw and the phone got shut off due to not paying the bill with that do anything to it or just go with the old way of flashing and put the phone on a carrier other than verizon like sprint
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
Last_Block_OK is what you should see in DFS LOG output after writing PRL.

I remember I had issues with this and ended up using a PRL Manager APK (Sprint device)

For VZW I used either QPST or CDMAWorkshop to write the PRL.

For USCC I wrote the PRL and hit read, then repeat until it stuck, then reboot and read to verify...had to do this a couple times.

Hey, being from Houston - was the nokia (from your sig) on PrimeCo? :D

Knock it off folks please

Ok, changing your ESN, IMEI MEID or whatever, or even discussion of it, is against XDA rules. Why? because it's an easy way to cheat carriers out of revenue. Not to mention the act of cloning, which of course is also illegal. We don't like carriers as much as the next person, but XDA has legalities to consider.

For you rookies;

Changing these numbers is not the same as a "carrier unlock". It's making a different device serial number code so to speak. Say a person stole a phone, and the US carriers locked it (they all share these codes and mandatory locks). The only way to unlock it, is to change the "code" where as to make the carriers believe your device is legit. Unfortunately, over half the countries don't have the databases to find "duplicate IMEI or ESN", which is why cloned devices are rampant. And changing this number,,, is simply "cloning a device".

This is the primary reason why talks like this are forbidden on XDA.

So lets stop with the discussion on this please.

MMS Stopped Working

Hello all,

My MMS send and receive has stopped working when I refilled my Page Plus $29.95 plan.

Data works fine, but just no MMS.

I have tried sending to 3 different people, the 3G up/down icon doesn't even flash.

I contacted PP and they said all they can do is reset my data (and they did yesterday and today) and it still doesn't work.

Wondering if someone could look at my config to see if something changed.. I didn't update anything..

i cant install qpst.. i get a error
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
re-download from a new source. error on install is corruption of download or bad source. i posted a good link to a rar'd and password protected .402 about 100 pages back. it was the only version i could find that worked as every other version seem'd to corrupt while downloading no matter what isp/pc/device i used, so i posted the only working link that i could find after a day of google-fu.

i'm using .422 from dev-host without the qualcomm.exe file (infected) and everything works so far, i'm not sure what that .exe does or if it was even supposed to be in the package. I had .402 before this version and it would not connect to certain (newer) devices (not sure if hwvsp is needed for any sammy's but i doubt it)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fly4awhtgye:
I'm no expert, but found my Sprint S3 flashed to Page Plus to have done the same things a few times. I would guess dialing ##3282# on the dial pad and viewing MMSC settings would show the MMSC Url and Port not to be the correct settings for Page Plus.

The MMSC Url should be

https://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms and Port to be 8080. If yours is different, maybe try editing those values from the same menu.

I also had a ton of trouble getting QPST to work last night. Of course the problem was operator error!

Symptoms:

Old versions of QPST installed okay, but they would not recognize my phone in the configuration screen. New versions of QPST would fail to install correctly. 422 got hit with the virus scan. (I uninstalled that, manually deleted the qualcomm.exe from users/appdata/roaming, and I removed the registry key that pointed to it.)

Solution:

I don't think this was the issue, but I did download Kies and install it to verify that I had the latest drivers for the phone (Sprint S3). My drivers were originally installed from Windows Update (Windows 7 x64 Home).

I also tried a different install process for QPST. That other file in the rar... That's a redistributable copy of Microsoft C++ 2005, which is presumably required to run the program. I installed that first, then ran the setup.exe for QPST. After that, it installed just fine and had no trouble recognizing my phone.

I was using build 378, because it was the newest version I had downloaded prior to the 422 virus infested one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Although I am not a fan fan or either QPST or DFS. I am not sure why you would not just use DFS. It is allot more user friendly and between the two more reliable at flashing to a phone.

Just my opinion but something to consider.

If you want the best fork out the few bucks and get CDMA and be done with it.
