If you need to write the 10.key use dfs to write it under efs2. Link to DFS on Main Page of topic.

Also never dial *22890 on a flashed phone, you are just asking fro problems.......

You will be lucky now if you do not have to get ST to reauthenicate the account.....

I'm looking to join straight talk vzw soon.

Any problems with data streaming such as pandora? Or tv apps. Or YouTube?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
I suggest trim you look at howarforums on that topic, lots and lots getting throttled or shut down from streaming etc....

I did a test with a account streamed and monitored data usage, was throttled when I hit 1.7 gb of data...... Was like i had 1x....

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trim81:
Yes I'm a regular on hofo..

Most of the throttled data users are from the sim card side, I wonder if ST vzw has it too...

I want to join ST due to cheaper refills that can be bought online compared to PP or selectel
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Yes they throttle and or cut-off also. I can only say this if you are looking for that magical prepaid plan that is going to allow you stream media all the time, then you are in for a disapointment. None of them is going to allow that anymore. They may not get you at first but they are all monitoring data usage very closely....... So in the end, they will get ya.......

I wish this was not the case, but I see and flash phones to all of these carriers, and I see what happens when data is abused in their eyes......

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trim81:
I probably never go above 2gb.. Always around 1.5-1.7gb monthly, I wonder if that's safe with ST

Hello Viper im kinda new to flashing..But i have a us celluar phone trying to flash to boost mobile..I already followed your instruction on putting my phone into diag mode but Im lost after that could you explain what i should do from here to have my s3 running boost Please
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Boost Mobile is a little different than to Page Plus or other VZW MVNO's. Their is a thread in the General Section that explains it pretty well. You will need a friend/do-or for the deed also. I will help you as musch as possible but I do very little Boost Flashes, due to the service being crap in my area.

accidently reprovisioned my S3

Viper,

I flashed my Sprint S3 phone over to pageplus about 6 months ago and it has been working great.

I kept having the Samsung update pop up and just kept ignoring it. My brilliant son thought he could fix it from showing up anymore by typing in the number ... ##72786# which apparently reprovisions the phone. My S3 now shows Sprint information in the phone settings and I am not able to make or receive calls or use data.

Is there anything you can do to help me? Thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] showcasemodr:
Hey Viper since you seem to be the resident expert on flashing phones to other carriers. Do you or anyone else have any thoughts on flashing an S3 over to Nex-Tech Wireless. They are a regional carrier here in Kansas and from what I tell they are in an agreement of sorts with Sprint or Sprint-Nextel. They do have some of their own local towers but outside of their small area I believe they roam on Sprints towers.

I posted a question here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2318314

I wanted to know if it was even doable before I go buy an S3. I think the hangup is that Nex-Tech won't activate just any phone for me. I assume that means that the ESN for an S3 wouldn't be in their database but I don't know that for sure.

Lost my mms and 3G

Hello,

Newbie flasher here looking for some help. Overnight my wife's sprint samsung galaxy s3 lost 3G data and the ability to receive mms messages. First, I need to know if mms and 3 g are correlated. Second, is there any procedure I should go through to get mms and 3G back? I thought I had flashed it correctly the first time, but this is about 1 month since original flash and something is obviously wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
also if u was flashing somebody phone wouldn't u want an donaton or something ..its ppl out here paying a lot more than what some ppl on here ask for ...better yet call up flashphones and they will charge u 100 to do it ...flashing the phones might be easy as times but when ppl mess up they phone we have to redo the mess the person made ...flashing a rom and flashing a phones isn't the same and its not that easy

I know you had the best intentions with this thread and it's a good one if you search 99.9%been answered and answered.i like the scalper post lmao. Have a great night
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
its a compilation of GREAT INFO.

just enough to get your phone in a no mobile data state and then need help to get it working again.

what this thread needs is someone with androdid 4.3 and up with a guide to accompany this thread.

a perfect 2 hit combo.

this therad is not a "guide" but we all come here hoping its enough info to flash successfully to PP

with as many problems as it has and almost all (no mobile data) then something is definately being missed.

i heard Viper32 say he working on something and i hope its a guide asi know everytime he reads one of our posts about no mobile data that he def knows how to fix or what our problem is.

if he dont make a guide maybe someone that has a us cellular phone (in my case thats what i have so i would really like to see that phone) could actually make a step by step guide with all the settings listed that we "see" not just the settings that we are supposed to do.

many of us have messed our settings up by trying so many things with this threads many sources of info that we might have changed something that is stopping it from going through

i would like to see every settings in someones EPST and DATA menus not just the one or two settings that we are supposed to adjust.

if i knew how to get this phone flashed to pageplus i would have made the guide a long time ago.

Viper32 cant do it all but i sure wish he would make one because i know that he knows his stuff.

its amazing like i said

over 4000 posts in this thread with no guide

dont forget we are on android 4.3 and up usually so the guide should reflect that as the "carriers" have tried to disable settings and stop us from doing what we are trying to do.

in the beginning when this thread started it probably worked great for people but now its a long time later and things are not working as they should be.

so we can either keep trying to get these phones working right or "pay" someone to help completely

Viper32 told me he has flashed over 5000 phones.

stop thinking about your wallet and help us all get out of the mess we are in for "FREE"

this is supposed to be a thread about tools needed to flash to PP and it is but something is missing.

btw on us cellular phones they say they cant work on GSM networks but i found some really really really really good settings in service programming menu and they are related to GSM/UMTS and you can switch it over to those frequencies.

i dont think these phones are network locked or sim locked

a couple settings are not "sticking" that need to be

i gonna research this more and probably not gonna lead anywhere but what i found out is the GSM/UMTS is THERE! for sure 100%

i took screenshots of my phone (HLTEUSC) US Cellular Note 3 on KITKAT (android 4,4,2)

http://imgur.com/a/vNACm

please look at it carefully i know this stuff means something important i think*

maybe us cellular has it locked down but it dont look like it

like i said it might not mean anything. i not a pro in this area.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] njdan30:
They most likely ask some fora fee because like me I pay for software that cost me money. It's not hard to copy info from one phone to another like most do I use a different Methods for different phones and different carriers but very seldom do I use a donar phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
a donor is not required with pageplus

they can add your current us cellular or other carriers meid as long as its not blacklisted (to my understanding)

why PAGEPLUS has not put a tutorial up for us to make our transition easier is way beyond me!!!!

there should be a GUIDE! (STEP BY STEP for EACH and EVERY setting) to get mobile data working and even OTAP

i did probably 100 successful OTA (*228, *22890, *22891, *22801) all worked flawless without any sim in this note 3 just the other day

i didnt get my 3g keys that way though.

somehow i got 3g key either with ATT sim that hasnt been active in over 3 years, gophone sim that is activated online but never activated by phone that it has a current plan picked online but never added mins to it or the unactivated verizon wireless sim

i took screenshots so i can see all my settings and 3g keys but for some reason i have not been able to reproduce this and i can no longer complete any OTA successfully.

i can PRL update OTA no problem

all i can say is this.

this note 3 has bad esn with us cellular

i have not used any donor phone

i have always been on android 4.3 or android 4.4

when i had my 3g keys i might have been on android 4.3 (not sure as i didnt write that down in my notes)

my screenshots are from march 1st so if android 4.4 (uscc NAB) was out before that then i was on android 4.4.2

anyhow should be EZ to take another carrier phone without any donor and make a simpe guide that has details.

why is this so hard?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] njdan30:
esn don't need to be good as long as is not a vzw phone that's only time esn matters with page plus. page will also tell people 4g phones won't work and neither will vzw pre paid phones both untrue. The*228stuff usually won't help with anything but usually un do a flash in phones from any other carrier other then vzw.the data keys are usually unique to your number/account. gotta run because my little ones up teething and I gotta get up in an hour(5am) yay. Have a good night/day

I appreciate your frustration....

Instead of getting yourself all worked up in this post.

Why not search and look elsewhere......

Example:

If I wanted to buy a Pepsi with a User Manual

And I keep going to this one store and they have the Pepsi but it does not come with the Manual.

I go to the next then the next until I find one that has it with the manual, that shows me how to drink that Pepsi..........

In the end with all your ranting you are surely doing yourself no favor, because I get messages from others that say they do not want to help you because you are all over the place............

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
All the info is in the thread. If you have flashed a phone to ppc in the past, such as a thunderbolt or an evo then you should already be familiar with the process.

There are some things that are done differently on these samsung phones, but not much, really its about the adb loaded apk's, the 16 digit SPs, and the OP. I'm pretty sure that OP + Edd's 3g guide.txt is enough for anyone to flash their phone (if supported by this thread) and not break it.

OK look man the us cellular phones are an bit#h in a hand basket to deal wit ..u have to write to it an thousand times before the data settings stick to it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dmonleo:
en11gma,

when you flash you are not suppose to use OTA (period). All available flashing programs will give you that advice. There is a very detailed guide within these forums. One of the OPs stopped supporting the topic, and the current OP has hinted that he will follow suit.

Fact: NO ONE WILL DIVULGE HOW TO OBTAIN DATA W/O USE OF DONOR (for time being).

Now for the matter and purpose of my direct response to you.

Please....for the love of all!...stop asking the same redundant question. Dude, the guides have already been placed. You want a step by step tutorial, you gotta pay to play!

Trust me, you aren't the only one that has inquired about it...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Well spoken..............

Some want it all without any of the work..........

You want to learn the trade its by trial and error......

Tools are here, and most of the questions are answered also....

I do not believe in hand holding and step by steps, you will never learn that way........

I guess some think that the ones of us that have worked our a--es off to learn the trade owe them something...

That's not how it works and was never the intention of the thread and was stated from the beginning. You want cookie cutter, hand holding, step by steps then go pay for some Retail Flashing Software...........

If you want to learn and understand the way things work this topic can be helpful...........

Hi guys,

totally not related to flashing.. well sort of.

Stuck on Verizon Note 3

So I flashed a Note 3 from Verizon and I can't get the internet to come up. I don't know why but every Note 3 I have done has been fighting me. So i flashed it and put the 3g passwords on it like i do any other phone but I ran into a problem when i put the Verizon card in it. I had no signal. So i decided to throw a different card in it (t-mobile) because i have heard people using them and I got a signal. Made a phone call and everything worked fine, but no internet. So now I am stuck. its odd to me to get no signal with the vzw card. What am I missing?

On a second note people complaining about this thread not being tutorial, I don't think it was meant for that. Its called "Sprint /Verizon/USCC S2/S3/S4/ Note 2/Note 3 to Page Plus / Selectel Flashing Real 3G" which implied to me that it was for people who already had some flashing knowledge. If you go and read some of the tutorials about flashing other phone and come back here it will make a lot more sense I promise. This is a great reference thread and i have it book mark for my 16 digit passwords and diag keys. thank you viper

Ok, I got my phone flashed and all works, talk text and 3g. I do notice that on the about phone section that it has another number instead of mine listed but if I remove sim card my number shows up but then I get that annoying red symbol saying no sim card up top. I didn't do my own flash but watched and tried to learn a few things since I haven't ever done it before. Did have a question, I know that your aren't supposed to do any OTA updates and I don't even think that page plus pushes any, but since my phone is flashed would it still receive updates?

Thread cleaned....members should be reminded that reading and using search prior to posting is a rule. And being disrespectful and having attitudes with each other are also violations of the same set of rules.

If you do not know what it is you are doing to your device, then I respectfully suggest you flash back to stock and log off, or take way more time to learn about what it is you are trying to do before you post rage induced posts.

Be nice to each other in here, or get out.

ok i gonna let some googies out early that i have found

*#27663368378#

REALLY REALY GOOD STUFF IN THERE

if you want to switch from ruim to nv only without using dfs or cdma (then you gonna love this) works everytime

also band pref and system types

that is the same area i think that shows all the locked out gsm/umts that we would love to have available

##3282# is pretty common one but couple good things in there too

im not sure if you have to be rooted and enable the hidden menu because i did it along time ago

you have to change it from OFF to ON or something like that

anyhow if i cant do it alone maybe some others can help
