Not sure if I'm the right area... I've been reading through as much as I can, trying to get up to speed (...my head feels like its swimming). Does anyone have some advice and/or a few good link suggestions regarding "carrier" unlocks for the following two phones...

(SPRINT) Galaxy S4 SPH-L720 (to Verizon)

(US Cellular) Galaxy S4 SCH-R970 (to Verizon)

I'm willing to read and apply what ever you throw at me, just need some help in getting started in the right direction and finding something effective that won't waste (too much) of my time.

Thanks!

Is there any way you can help me unlock my Samsung galaxy s3? its us cellular, but id like to use at&t on it. It has a place for a sim card, if that helps?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
should be factory unlocked like the verizon model? you'd be better off selling it and buying a blu phone for at&t...

I don't believe a uscc model has any gsm capabilities. The vzw s3 will get voice/text and edge speeds on gsm though. The vzw s4 with gets all of above + hspa speeds.

How do you like the service on PagePlus? Viper flashed me a S3I bought on ebay about a month ago and I gave it to my wife. Mostly it works well, 3G data speed is almost always better than Sprint. Of course, no match for LTE, but LTE coverage is spotty even in Baltimore where Sprint traditionally had a good service.

But I found that few times the phone had no signal in places where my Sprint S3 worked just fine. What is your coverage experience?

Some update, dont know how, landed on my flashed to PP3G ( via Nevell / Justin / Hitemup1time ) Samsung S3 Sprint and put it into a boot loop.

Phone still knows it is PP

Asks for a PIN when trying to dial

It can receive a call

611 takes you to PP

Has data with some very slow speed

Text also working in and out

Can I fix this?

Flashing a galaxy sIII mini for a friend. He bought the phone brand new and it does not have a 4g sim card. he's not concerned with 4g and so I'm wondering how I can bypass the sim card completely or will I need to get one in there?

EDIT: after posting I'm wondering if it was just the NV_ONLY that needs to be set. BRB after testing.

EDIT1: did nothing.

So basically using the screen tap (left corner, right corner, etc. ) i was able to get into the phone and then hook it to DFS. Now trying to dial the activation number and it says it needs a sim card. Any clues?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Yeah it will not OTA activate, you need to flash it to the correct settings.......... If they OTA activated this all would be pretty easy ;)

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zapatista13:
Yes for the verizon you do. Not sprint because the sim is built into the motherboard
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kilrain:
Alright cool. So just flash the info over instead of OTA and it should "activate" it w/o the sim card then.

Hi again. I have a quick question if someone wouldnt mind answering. I have an S2 (SPH-D720) flashed to pageplus. Is there any danger of breaking my flash by flashing a ROM? The ROM I want to flash is Blu Kuban, based on 4.0.4. I am currently running stock rooted GB27. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sam.assad:
hi I used to do DIAG mode easily on 4.1 now after I did the update to 4.3 cant get the DIAG mode or by the utilitiy app >>>is there another way to do it > thanks

I got Galaxy S3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kilrain:
Ok, so I've flashed the phone and am able to send/rec texts and receive calls. However, whenever making a call it gives the message "please dial the 10 digit number again .. blah blah". It will call out if the number is dialed again while this message is displayed however. I haven't got the 3g working but I'll deal with that later. Has anyone had experience with that annoying verizon message before?

P.S. I'm actually guiding my friend over VOIP rather than having the phone in hand which makes things so much more fun :)

EDIT: Had him change the PRL to what I'm using since we live basically in the same area. Can't call out at all now, says to contact customer service, but it will still receive calls, texting works just fine and now 3g is working. So it just doesn't call out. weird ..

FIXED: CAVE settings ... who knew :P

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bogie03:
No you don't need for Sprint cause you cat change it....But Verizon you don't need but you will get the no simple icon and your 3 icon will not display even though it will have 3g.... You lose the icon with no sim
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
HMM, Maybe the way is in one of the three first post of the thread. 4.3 disables the utility from putting you in diag mode.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BadToThePhone:
Verizon S4. MJ7 and MK2 modems.

Just be careful flashing Modems, it is one thing that can brick your device for sure if everything does not go just right......

Just want a little bit of clarification here, I havbe purchased a USCC note 2 (R950) and from what i have found out so far, I will need to use a USCC sim card, and by doing this any SMS/MMS i send will show as the sim cards number. is there anyway to fix this? is it possible to edit the sim card somehow to show as my phones number and not the USCC sim? thank you very much!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
You can actually use a used T-Mobile or AT&T Sim card if thats all you have, yes their are MMS apks that will take care of the issue of the sim card number being sent, so that issue will not be a problem.

Flashing Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 to Page Plus

This is my first post - I have flashed a couple of Verizon Samsung Note 2's, but I used the one-click options (W.W. and C.F.). Now, I have two Samsung Galaxy S4's that I want to flash, but I wanted to do them manually. I am really fascinated by the concept of flashing,,.and I am in the cell phone business, so I really need to have this skill to be able to assist my customers by helping them flash! I one-time walk-through would really help. I have the paid version CDMA WS.

Viper, if you have some time tonight, I would like to talk with you via Team Viewer so you can get me up to speed. The donor phone concept is kind of foreign to me - does it have to be the same make and model as the phone you are flashing? Or will any phone do? Odin is

another thing I have questions about. :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] brytonmar:
Sprint S3, unrooted 4.3, flashed to page plus with 1x data working thanx to many hours of reading the info in this and other threads. I have a verizon droid incredible that I can't seem to "fix" the esn to use as a donor. I have managed to "0" the esn out, but none of the freeware I have will "fix" the esn. so I can obtain the magical 3g keys. Would someone be so kind to enlighten me to the magic of getting this S3 up to 3g speed? Posts or PM's gladly accepted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EMT52313:
I don't understand why donors are ever needed. I've never called pageplus and had them refuse to switch an ESN for me. This goes for all the Verizon phones I've used in the past, the Sprint S2 I currently use, and even my wife's iPhone 4, which is supposedly a big pageplus "no-no". I really think most reps just don't care either way.

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

Can you not just read the incredible's keys in DFS and them enter them into the S3? That worked for me with my S2. The only thing I ever had a problem flashing over was the PPP password. That seems to be the one thing the freeware won't do.

---------- Post added at 08:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

Sorry, I meant to quote brytonmar's post there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] brytonmar:
It's my understanding that you need to have the targets MEID on the donor in order for the keys to be correct. I've tried, cdma demo and 2.7, DFS demo and even QXDM, I can't get any of them to write my target to the incredible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sam.assad:
Thanks even ive looked already i will look again :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
What phone is this exactly? ex. Sprint S3 etc.

Does it have stock Rom on it?

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dmonleo:
Is it me... Or did you like make a contradicting statement in this post? You don't see a reason for a donor...but you use an incredible for keys? o-0
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EMT52313:
Yep, its definitely you. I wasn't contradicting myself at all. I was referring to using a donor to swap ESNs, not simply reading programming info from another phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dmonleo:
Gotcha!

yeah its sprint galaxy s3 with stock 4.3 >>> im not sure if Knox has anything to do with

Putting an H20 Sim Card in a Verizon flashed Galaxy Note 2 (flashed to Page Plus)

My phone works for data WITHOUT a 4G LTE Sim card, but the data is "ON" all the time - there is no way to turn it off. However, if I put a Verizon

4G LTE SIM card in the phone, then I can turn the data "ON" or "OFF." My question is this - can I put an H20 SIM (or even a Net10 SIM) in

my phone to get rid of the "No SIM" message? And will that allow me to turn my data on or off?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JUSMEJOSE:
I recommend using a GSM sim card (TMobile/AT&T/H2O/Red Pocket etc) usually when you use a Verzion LTE Simcard it F**** with the NAM programming ...

But you should be able to toggle ON&OFF your data without a sim card ..

I typically use Verizon Sims with no issues, but either should work ok. The GSM sim can make things try to switch around but if flashed correctly should be ok......

one more thing the s3 has a bad esn from unpaid bill. will page plus accept this or will this be taken care of with the info from the donor page plus phone? im guessing it will be taken care of or page plus dont care and all i need is the apn info?

Hi i just read your thread and i couldn't agree anymore about how helpful that was. I am currently flashing phones atleast 5 per day. Yesterday my customer came in and with Samsung, Sprint Galaxy S3 running on android version 4.3. My problem was getting the SPC, In your thread you have a link and drop box download for it, which got me excited haha. My only problem is, when i down load it, the file doesn't run, it says that "C:\Users\ccwireless\Downloads\getmymsl.apk is not a valid Win32 Application."

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] brytonmar:
Cool, now I get to read up on manually changing a Meier.:good: To the people that can flash an S3 with freeware and change the ID on their donors to get keys, my hat is off to you. I have spent more time in the last 3 weeks trying to figure out this phone flashing game than i spent for 10 years keeping my satellite going before the card swaps. At least at this point, if I had the proper tools, cdma ws paid, I would have a fighting chance of getting 3g thanx to Viper and others. With freeware and a droid incredible, I'm convinced that I'm fighting a losing battle on trying to do this without paying for a flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
The reason that you are not getting answers about the questions mostly is because I have asked for no discussions of Meid changing. It is against XDA Rules and they could close this topic if we do not abide by them. So please refrain from the chat about that, I worked way to hard keeping this topic alive for it to go away for that reason.

Some will ignore my request as usual but its just better to not include the talk about it here........

I have a sprint S2 that I am trying to flash to page plus. I am learning the process. I have flashed US cell S3 and S4 to page plus as well as sprint S4, but I am having issues with the Sprint S2.

I have talk and text, but am having issues getting data on the S2. I cannot get the HDR and AAA and HA information to stick. I am using CDMA WS 3.9 Paid version.

Ok on Sprint Devices, just because you cannot read the passwords after writing does not mean they are not there. Check your other settings to be sure they are correct. More and More devices are now becoming write only devices, otherwise when you write it you cannot read it back in the normal manner.
