Data not working on Verizon Galaxy S3 flash to pageplus

I recently flashed a Verizon Galaxy S3 running 4.3 to Pageplus using DFS. Talk and text work but I can't get any data. There isn't even a toggle icon in the notification area to turn on data. Settings -> More Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Mobile data is On.

I don't have a sim card and there is an ongoing notification for that. I didn't write a 10.key file as I didn't think I need to. I double-checked the AA/HAA keys to make sure they're accurate. They were confirmed to be working prior to the flash. I tried writing the PRL (60008) to NAM1 and NAM2 but could never get NAM2 to stick. NAM1 took a while to stick until it finally did probably after rebooting and writing it again. I can't get into the hidden menu because I can't find a way to root 4.3. Not sure if I need to change anything there.

The blanked out email looking Ids is my phone number and the 32 hex character Pwds were confirmed working. I also tried vzw as the password on both screens but that didn't work either.

What am I missing here?

Need used sim card for 4.3?

Looks like I'm gonna need a used verizon sim card in order to get data on 4.3. This 4.3 update is a real pain in the a$$. I see a few cards being sold on ebay. One in particular said it was pulled from a Galaxy S3, S4, or Note 2 but it's more expensive ($20). I'm thinking it shouldn't matter what device the sim came from so long as it was previously activated on the verizon network.

Somebody who knows more, please let me know if I'm wrong, or if I'm right too.

Anyone with a vzw gs3 try KitKat? Is it safe or will it break the flash?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Verizon OTA update will make the phone revert back to Verizon, Nam will get written over.

What about using Odin?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Hit and miss, worth a shot if you must have it I guess. I never like telling people that it will or want work because they can change thngs that I would not know about. Typically odin is fine.

Samsung released a new driver package on June 24, 2014 if anyone cares.

This might fix broken KitKat DIAG for some...Others may want to reOdin NE2..

Off the top of my head, everything looks okay. When I did mine a few months ago (Sprint GS3), I ended up using vzw as the password for everything in the Data tab. As long as the HA and AAA keys were correct, the 3G signal worked fine.

If you're still having trouble, PM me, and I can check my phone tonight.

FYI, check the 2nd or 3rd post of the thread for the Saferoot method for 4.3. It works well, but you won't end up with an unlocked bootloader.

<edit>

I just looked at my flashed settings. The only place I have the dun.vzw3g.com is the RM NAI field on the Mobile IP tab. All of the locations on the Data tab just use the [MENTION=536007]vzw3[/MENTION]g.com. I haven't tried any tethering, though, so I can't verify that.

Also, I'm using the RevA_MFPA mode rather than the RevA_EHRPD. I don't know the difference between those to tell you if one will work better than the other.

Hello. I am trying to flash my first phone ever to Page Plus - a USCC R530 Galaxy S3. I am not able to write NAM settings in any programs to this phone. I have tried CDMA WS, QPST, and DFS. My NAM settings always revert after a write. What can I do to troubleshoot? Thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
from memory, some uscc tips: first: take out the sim card. second: send 16 digit and then six zero's every time. do not read before your write. or do read before you write. do not read after write. or do read after write. read and then write multiple times before reboot. don't bother reading phone, just write multiple times. maybe do it all like 3-4 times - someitmes one setting at a time depending on setting. put sim card back in to get data no matter what andriod version (....predating 4point3)

**** uscc never again. *omg it works thank you God*

last edit: was this anyone elses experience?

also, uscc was bootloader unlocked from factory, can you still odin back to 4.1.1 or did it get locked with 4.3 like the rest of the carriers?

i understand if you yourself cannot answer my question.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boostedcx:
I will try writing the settings the way you described. The bootloader is unlocked and I could Odin back to 4.1.1. Would that help?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
Used uscc Sim is mandatory no matter what version.

Some custom Roms can *228 and have carrier options. Idk if any of this is relevant.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
You can use a new USSC sim card also, it does note behave like the Verizon phones do with a new sim card.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tegat:
Yesterday I ordered a used verizon sim card off of ebay. When it comes in I'll try this again and post the results.

I've tried RevA_MFPA instead of RevA_EHRPD and I've also tried just using vzw as the paassword on the Data tab and my actual AA/HAA keys on the Mobile IP tab.

My donor phone had actual passwords for those fields on the Data tab so that's where I got those from.

As far as the saferoot method, when I tried it it said:

Your kernel is patched!

This device is not supported.

I don't think I need to be rooted to perform the flash but there are certain apps I like to run which require root and I was also hoping that rooting might somehow fix my issue. Are there any other methods for rooting a Verizon GS3 running 4.3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boostedcx:
Is there any way to restore stock NAM settings? I tried a fresh Odin of 4.1.2 MD4 firmware, but the blank NAM settings are still appearing and I cannot write to them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Them being blank now will not prevent you from being able to write to them.

flashed S3 has no service in some area

I have 2 Version S3 and both are flashed to Selectel, both phones work perfect in most places, no problem with 3G data either. Today we travelled to a remote area, however my phone has no service at all, no call or data but my wife's S3 has call service (no data). We both use the same prl, what could the problem be?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Setec111:
Most likely, it's in the phone's roaming settings. One phone is set up to allow roaming and the other is not. Look under Settings - More Networks - Roaming.

Mine is set up to allow voice and data roaming for Domestic and the roaming guard is disabled for domestic.

For some reason it still doesn't like to allow text or data when roaming, but calls go through just fine. (I have used data roaming in the past, but not within the last couple months.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] uat1:
I checked the roaming setting but that wasn't it... would this be a 10.key issue by any chance?

Compare signal strength between the two devices, with and without cases (if they are protected)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] untruestory:
Does anyone know what app to freeze or some hack to disable the random programming calls on vzw gs3 with an inactivated sim? Before 4.3 all I had to freeze was setup wizard but now that doesn't do it. Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Nothing to do with the 10.key at all.

You need to be sure it is programmed and the settings are the same as the other device.

Are they both Sprint/Verizon Phones?

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] uat:
Both are the same Verizon phones with the same android version. The were all flashed to Pageplus and ported to Selectel. This might not be a flash issue then?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
Quoted, in case you missed it....

So...what's your signal strength on either phone...

.... Menu > Settings > About > Status > Signal Strength.

-110dbm to -120dbm = Dropped Calls to NO SIGNAL

-95dbm to -110dbm = Weak Signal

-70dbm to -95dbm = Acceptable and should hold a signal indoors
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] uat:
Thanks for the chart.

Putting these 2 phones side by side, mine shows -120 dbm and my wife's shows -98dbm, so mine has NO signal, intersting... hardware issue? Both has the same Kernal, Baseband and ROM version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
Take the back off, check the prongs on the back of your phone. Some refurb's have broken prongs which will greatly affect 3g signal quality.

There should be 2 prongs on the left side of the battery and two on the bottom side of the battery to the right of the sim card.

You can try cleaning the prongs with denatured alcohol if they are still in tact, if they are pushed down you can try to tweak them back into place.

Bad signal strength on a verizon phone is usually due to physical defect or physical abuse.

Check the backplates, some have metal in the backplate that lines up with the prongs to give better signal quality, some are just plastic.

Galaxy S3 has lost data ...

Hey guys! I am a long-time lurker, light poster. I usually find my answers eventually through searching. Love XDA and all you guys do!

I am trying *desperately* to get my Verizon Samsung S3 working on Page Plus. Here's my story...

About a year ago I got fed up with my old 3G-only phone and ventured into flashing my S3 (v 4.1.2).

I have bought the paid version of CDMA Workshop and all.

Previously, I had followed Nevell's guide for flashing, which got me the 1x

I never understood the donor process, so all I ever got was 1x. I decided to give Net10 a try (big mistake) for a few months.

A few weeks ago I found some guides for donors and followed them when I moved back from Net10 to PagePlus.

(Not sure if I should post that here.. but I can provide that guide if needed)

All I used that guide for was to update my shared secrets once I learned how to get them on a donor.

Then.. my phone worked great! I got 3G speeds, and all was well. Except I had a crack in my screen, and I tried to replace it.

I ruined my digitizer and had to buy a new phone :(

I tried for 2 days to get my new Glaxy S3 (v 4.3) up and running. Talk, txt, and MSS were fine, but data was never reliable. It would sometimes show 1x and 3G, but I *never* tested at 3G speed and the 1x was not always reliable. (I couldn't just open a browser anytime.. often it would say no network).

Last night, I got a bright idea.. just switch my motherboards. The old one was working great, so that should do the trick!

I reactivated my old motherboard MEID once I had it on the new screen.

Data is doing the same thing on it now! :( Unreliable even at 1x. This is the same exact phone that worked great a week ago.

I don't pretend to know what all the settings on these programs are, but I am good at following a guide. I just have no idea what in the world to check now?!

I am now back to using my previous phone (v 4.1.2). I imagine there is no reason he shared secrets should have changed (same number/MEID).

I can check the Status at times and it will say "EvDo-rev.A:8" and "Mobile network state - Disconnected". Often it is just "1xRTT:6".

I'd be happy to TeamViewer with someone to let them have a look if you could provide any help.

Any help or ideas is appreciated! :)

Thread cleaned. Move beefs to PM if you have one or consider walking away instead of replying.

Allowing those kinds of arguments in thread always has the same result - and it's not a good one.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wendi413:
Well I gave it one last hurrah last night with my Galaxy S3 .. and surprisingly it works great!

I used my Fascinate to pull my shared secrets again, which were actually different than before.

I then made note of all the Fascinate settings I could find using DFS.

I set the S3 settings to match everything on the Fascinate and put in the new shared secrets.

We are rocking and rolling!

So I'm curious.. when do the shared secrets change? This was the same phone (motherboard) and the same phone number. Does it also change for each time it's activated?

No idea why the newer S3 I got never worked.. perhaps the key was entered wrong or it was one of the settings I copied, given that they both had the same issue.

Happy camper here. :) I may just give my new S4 a go now that I feel confident again..

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
Should be fine. I did an s5 sprint on 4.4.2 yesterday & everything was smooth. Use towelroot v3, you will have to install superuser apk after, if you want control of root permissions. Couldn't find the activation apk tho. Sim card locked after 5 fails :-X
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mkarps:
Awesome. Thank you afextwin. Will be attempting a nice redo so figured might as well update. I've had some weird call issues which I think it is actually something to do with noise cancellation setting on the S4 mini. People keep telling me I sound muffled and it seems to be when I am driving so there is noise around me. I just noticed there is a button for noise cancellation right on the call screen so maybe that will solve the problem but figured can't hurt to redo everything.

Also just for the record I did a factory reset last night and that did not break anything. Talk text data all worked right after reboot. All I had to do was reinstall 8sms and mms worked fine right away as well.
