[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crinoid:
vzw GS3 -> PP but no data

Hi fellow flashers,

[update: gpz1100 got me straightened out. Working 3G now! Thanks!]

I'm still working on my first flash: Vzw GS3 to Pageplus. I have voice and text working fine but no data at all. Been trying for about a month now to get data working, most hair already pulled out. If anyone has hints, I'd be happy to read them.

It would be simpler for me to pay someone else to flash, but then I wouldn't learn anything.

I know it's kind of a long post below, but I added headings to make it easier to read (or to skip parts). In the spirit of this thread, I'm trying to organize what I have learned so far in case it's useful to others later.

Thanks

First of all, thanks to Viper32 for collecting and posting the extremely useful information at the beginning of this thread and for helping numerous others in the thread over the past year. Next, thanks to the other flashers who have given advice in this thread to help the rest of us along. Finally, thanks to the many who have given of their time to look remotely at members' phones in various states of flash-incompleteness to help fix mistakes or omissions.

My goals

understand the flashing process completely for this phone so I can replicate in case I break it or transfer my wife's phone to PP.

keep my costs low (that's why I'm on PP in the first place!)

In order to achieve these goals, I am entering values manually in demo DFS. Avoiding paid sw because I won't be making a business of it and am trying to conserve funds.

Many of the documented procedures (e.g., sedds's) have you read a block of values from a (friend) and then write them to the target handset. I'm trying to avoid having to buy another device. I DO have AAA/HA keys generated thanks to another flasher here (I'm not naming him in case he prefers to remain anonymous).

My plea

If you could look at my DFS field settings below and let me know what I might have gotten wrong, I'd be grateful!

Research efforts

I went through this thread twice (yes, all 4000 posts!) as well as Nevell's thread from 2012. Did a lot of googling and collecting links. Lots of useful info, but it seems I must have overlooked something. Been trying off and on about a month now and can't seem to crack it.

Tools, handset, versions

Currently using DFS 13.9.29.0. I tried DFS 3.3.0.7 first, but it didn't seem to write the PPP userid strings completely. I haven't noticed an issue for 13.9.29.0.

The phone: SCH-I535 Vzw GS3 running Android 4.3 (stock rom), not rooted. I currently have a previously-activated 4G sim installed. It started as a 2FF size sim, and I cut it down to micro size to fit the S3. In the past month I have tried some other sims: unactivated T-Mo sim, unactivated 4G Vzw sim.
