Question about Selectel Flash. Selectel Sims etc.

I let a local selectel "dealer" flash my phone to Selectel a while back in Jan sometime. About a month or so later he had to re-flash the phone. Because I couldn't make calls at all. He said this was because the guy working for him did the flash incorrectly and so he fixed it. After reading up on Flashing a bit but still not knowing enough about it, I decided to start using a partition backup tool from the store to backup a slew of partitions including EFS, and all the Modem* partitions. I backed up a bunch of others as well, just not data, system, or cache. He left the VZW sim in.

Now since then, I've flashed a number of roms. And sometimes I'd have an issue where my number and other info in status would be gone. At this point I restore EFS, usually just this one partition and everything would be back to normal. Selectel Number and everything else would work. Now I'm having this issue again but my info is in there. This time, I can't make or receive calls or texts in my home "roaming on a regional tower" area. This always worked fine before. Now at home it says Voice out of service / Data in service. This is at home. When I drive 20 minutes up the road to some different but still not verizon towers I believe, I can make and receive calls just fine. Also in the guys shop using his extender, I can make and receive calls fine. He gave me a T-mobile sim, for what I don't know, but this didn't fix anything. Now he's expecting to receive his selectel SIMS and says that might fix my issue. If not I'll have to do another flash. I can't afford to pay for another flash, being laid off work and unemployed I can barely afford the 15 dollar plan for selectel.

Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone else has came across this issue, and if so do I need to reflash? Is there a way I can fix it myself? I have downloaded a bunch of tools for windows mostly (I use linux mainly, but dual boot into windows for AutoCAD and other things that just don't work well in Linux). I've seen a ton of flashing tools online as well many of which seem to do the job automagically almost. Any suggestions? I was thinking PRL.. Of course, but after reading the first few posts of this thread, i saw the don't try to OTA program information. One guy at the store actually recommended doing that but I didn't. he said *22891 to update roaming which I think is the PRL.

Any Help will be appreciated as always. If anyone here can fix it remotely cheap, let me know. Also, he's blaming my Kitkat rom. I've used this KitKat and others in the past with no Issue at all. But for ****s and giggles, I restored a TW 4.3, the latest Alliance Rom, to no avail. it does the exact same thing. I can use the phone in town or near an extender but not anywhere that I might roam.

Thanks a bunch.

Change 3G back to 4G

Hello everyone,

I have Verizon version of Galaxy S3 that was flashed to PagePlus when they still did not have 4G. Now I want to be able to use it on 4G. I have the programmed SIM card that I insert in the phone. 3G shows up on the top. I try making calls and/or sent texts - it does not work.

Can someone please help me with this issue?

Viper - I tried PM you, but I am not sure if you got the msg as it doesn't show up in sent folder.

Thank you in advance for your help!

From talking to the selectel dealer who did the same to my phone to get selectel, he said he'd ahve to basically flash my phone back to stock or the way it was before, then insert the sim. they tried this, to no avail. No they're saying it can't be activated on 4g unless I get a 30 dollar plan. instead o fmy normal 15. But I think they're full of ****.. because I've had my phone up here many times to no avail.

Does anyone know how to get real 3g on a Sprint Note 2? It is already flashed. I have paid workshop and DFS. Writing the AAA and HA didn't work. Can't figure out how to write the 10 key. Are there any settings that need to be changed? Been beating my head against the wall on this 1. The Verizon Note 2 was easy, but can't get this 1. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Verizon S3 issue

I am trying to flash my friend's Verizon S3 to pageplus. I can get a port up and going but when I go to read from phone in CDMA Workshop it says failed phone does not answer. I have tried at it for hours with no luck. I can't even send the SPC or anything. Then when I disconnect from the port and try to reconnect it says failed COM 4 is busy. I've also tried to put it on different ports, still no luck. DFS does't work either. I have all the drivers installed correctly and everything. I already got a number for the IMEI so all I am trying to now is flash it. Can someone please tell me what is wrong or what I'm doing wrong. I have done Verizon S3's to pageplus before and never had this problem, I always use the same method.

Thanks in advance!

Ive decided to switch to tmobile on my i605, but viper, I have one last question for you. I'm only getting edge right now, when people are getting hspa+. I have hspa+ in my area, so I know it is possible. I was wondering if the guy who did my flash could have messed my phone up when he flashed and I only got 1x on PP. Is it possible that that is the cause of my note 2 only getting edge? If so, what would be the easiest way to correct that? Would a full flash to unrooted stock verizon fix it?

Oi...

Hi :) I think my brain is going to start leaking from my ears in a moment here.

I have read all 130+ pages of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2270191 and several other sources today and I think I am missing something somewhere.

What I have: Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 Stock and untouched Android 4.1.2

History: Refurb that functioned perfectly on Verizon, currently not hooked up to any service. Sim card is still in slot.

Goal: I would like to start up with Page Plus using this phone within the next couple of days and I don't really care what speed data I get as long as I can use GPS navigation and can text/voice. G3 is perfectly fine with me! <3 ( I have an 8 hour drive with two other families on Sat. and am very nervous about being the only phoneless car.)

I was having a hell of a time even trying to go into debug mode, none of the dial pad codes were doing anything at all UNTIL I disabled Power Saving, go figure? I have gotten as far as Vipers instructions to go into debug mode.

The problem: That is as far as I have gotten, I have no idea what else I should be doing, or how to flash. Do I need to root? Do I need to activate PP service first and then flash? Do I flash and then set up an account with them? Should I lay down on the floor in the fetal position and cry instead?

So far the last option seems to be the most likely at this moment. <.<

Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Okay I admit im alittle agrivated with my current situation.

I have a Verizon Samsung galaxy s3 Verizon branded with possibly bad esn.

I want to put it on boost or page plus

im currently running custom rom. hyperdrive.

when ever I enter the first code you say*#22745927 it just makes a call

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Verizon ]SPH-I535 (Galaxy S III) and SCH-I605 (Note 2)

Open Dialer enter *#22745927

When Enable/Disable Menu comes up tap "Hidden Menu Disabled"

Select "Enable" on Popup

Press Home button

Open Dialer

Dial **87284

When PhoneUtil Opens Select PDA

Tap Qualacomm USB Setting

Select DM+Modem+ADB

Tap OK

(Remember after flashing to return and put phone back to MTP+ADB)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was looking at how to flash the phone you tube videos and the guy on there says that even if you get your phone in diag mode there is still 2 options missing witch is why he says you must have your phone running a custom rom and be rooted and run some type of script to fully enable diag mode on the version version of the Samsung galaxy s3.

I really need some help!

I really don't see why it would be inpossible to put this phone on boost network even though everyone says its impossible I don't see why.

if enabled in full diag mode and in cdma mode and used same info as you would with sprint version. I just don't see why it would nt work.

but its a gsm phone and the sprint version is cdma from my understanding. I would atleast like to get the phone on pageplus. but like I SAY CANT EVEN GET PAST THE FIRST STEP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackrabbit72380:

its more of a collection of stuff for someone who knows how to do this and that's not me. I have never used cdma workshop before.

im rooted unlocked and running custom rom. Hyperdrive on my vzw sg3 I have the diag app installed and I have cdma workshop installed on my pc.

I have no clue what to do now. so whats next?:confused:

I'm thinking about selling my Epic 4G Touch that is currently flashed to PagePlus, I can't just load up DFS, and go in and replace my phone number with whatever phone number the new owner is going to port in? Is there some other key that needs to be flashed, that is directly synched to whatever phone number is currently loaded on the phone? Seems to me, like once it is on the pageplus network, I should be able to just switch phone numbers in the phone and still have it work? It already has the Verizon PRL and 10.key loaded from when it had my number flashed in. Then, someone would need to port the new owners number into the PagePlus system right?

Hi Viper,

I am helping a friend try to set up her VZW S4 for PagePlus... Its ME7 (came that we.. we didn't do it, honest!) but rooted.

I know we can't do ROM installation as yet (Go Hash, go!) but since its straight verizon we should be able to change APN settings and go PP correct?

I seem to be missing some big, apparently unspoken aspect of this...

Flashing questions

I want to move over to page plus. I was wondering what phones work best. The popular ones seem to be RAZR/MAXX/HD etc. and s3/4/Note 2 etc.So the questions I have would be:

1. Which one works the best?

2. How does Page Plus flashing work with root access

2a. How does the flashing work with custom ROMs.

3. Can I buy a Sprint or Verizon bad esn and use it for this? (I know I don't want to encourage theft etc.But wherever the phone came from is on them)

4. How do factory resets work with this flashing method?

5. (Viper specifically) How much do you charge/ask for donation?

Just trying to figure this out as I like to know what I am getting into. (And I would prefer to keep costs to a minimum)

Viper I understand if you don't want to answer all of these questions on the forum. If you want to PM me. Or I can PM you (seems to be your preferred method of communication)

Thanks so much in advance to anyone who helps me. You guys rock.

Undo the pageplus flash

Hi there, I flashed a verizon samsung galaxy s4 to pageplus and now I want to be back to normal carrier verizon. I did the hard reset and activated my verizon sim card.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
The IMEI won't match because the sim card carries its own which begins with A1xxx... Without the sim, the IMEI begins with 99xxx... From what I've read, you should just be able to change the RUIM Config in DFS or CDMA-WS to RUIM-Only, pop in the sim, restart and let it activate.
