Thank you for clarifying this
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
No problem. There are a handful of the DDR devices still confirmed functioning on the loophole, but only on limited 3G data connections. These few devices are considered to be anomalies -- simply devices which seem to have slipped through the cracks. All attempts of replicating connectivity on new and used devices have been to no avail.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purplefruity:
Same, I'm on stock Sprint 6.0.1. I like stock and rooting right now. Can you root, send me the files? Will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
Sorry. I don't want to alter my device. Once I went stock and established LTE connectivity, I even reverted back to stock Android recovery.

The files would do you absolutely no good anyway without a UICC that has been properly provisioned by an original DDR device.

P.S. why did you change your username? IP address never lies. Lol

Hey that's the spirit
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FNetV1:
Interesting to know. I have a Data Done Right Moto G 3 that I am currently not using, inside storage boxes stored away at a storage facility. it looks like I will be driving down to Storage in order to grab that phone, take it back home, charge it and power it to fire up Google Chrome to check if it i"magically" connects to 4G LTE.

Question: Do you guys have a SIM card inserted to your device that you report that you get free LTE data? Do I have to have a SIM card for it to work, if so what SIM card? (I dont have any SIM at the moment and I dont remember where I put that old SIM I used to use with Data Done Right back in the days), but I DO have the following SIM cards with me: SIMGLW206R and another one that ends with 207R both of whom are unused and are said to work with Sprint and most if not all Sprint's MVNO's. I currently use FreedomPop and the SIM that I use with them is the SIMGLW206R one so if I really do need a SIM card I figure it is the 206R one (my best guess).
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
A SIM (UICC) is required in order for you to connect to the 4G/LTE network. Unfortunately, SIM cards ate not transferrable in CDMA devices. In other words - and applicable for all domestic based Virgin Mobile devices, the phone's MEID/IMEI corresponds with a pre-installed 4G/LTE SIIM card. A remedy to this is to find a Sprint UICC compatible with the device and network, and call Virgin Mobile customer support. They will ask for the 20 digit UICC number and pair it with your device in the system.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FNetV1:
Then I think the following should work: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sprint-Micr...222962?hash=item2a71580f72:g:hI4AAOSwNRdX4Yz4

A 206R ending sprint compatible SIM card said to work with Virgin Mobile among others, but what I have noticed is that Virgin Mobile isn't doing new Data Done Right activations (I could be wrong), all what I see on their official website is a persuasion to upgrade existing data done right customers to the unlimited plan or the data love plans, etc So if Virgin Mobile isn't doing new activations would Virgin Mobile still register my device on their system, if so, then what would I have to tell them in order for me to persuade them to register my new SIM card on their network.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
Virgin Mobile did in fact discontinue the Data Done Right line of devices. The network, however, is as good as always. Data Done Right has its own customer service department. So be sure and call it and not the standard Virgin Mobile USA number. Just be straight forward and explain that you want to use your DDR Moto G3 but that you had to get a replacement UICC.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FNetV1:
Can you either PM me or tell me what's Data Done Right's number? I think I had it but previously I had shredded everything when I moved stuff to storage.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purplefruity:
The data done right support number is 1-844-326-1261. For more information on Data Done Right, click here.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FNetV1:
Alright here's the results:

I purchased a new Sprint Micro SIM card on Ebay, then once it arrived I called the number you gave me, explained to them my situation and they were more than happy to register my new sim card.

But here's the funny part:

I inserted the SIM on my used Moto G3, powered it up, did a factory reset to remove a whole bunch of obsolete junk, then upon reboot, it activated on its own with the new SIM card in it. I was sent to the desktop, I opened Chrome and I couldn't believe my eyes! I was online, the status bar up there said "LTE" and I had full bars! I through I was done, I setup my email apps, installed Hangouts and was off making and receiving calls with my Google Voice number.

Everything seems to be great and well for the next few days... UNTIL my battery ran out, when I got home I charged the phone, then I restarted it and got surprised to be in the activation screen. It said "Activation - Activating your device - Please wait..." and it would stay there perpetually, you could wait hours and there would be no progress what so ever, no four corners or any other old "bypass trick" worked, I ended up unlocking the bootloader (thank God that the idea of enabling developer mode and checking on enable boot unlock occurred to me before I had to restart the device, because stuck at the activation screen and not being able to exit it meant that I was not going to be able get into developer mode to be able to unlock the boot loader (although I think I could have factory reset from within fastboot mode-I didn't had to explore it)), I flashed TWRP and tried all I could to identify the offending app in either /system/app and /system-priv-app and /system/vendor, /system/vendor/itson I even extracted the resources.zip deleted the ItsOk.APK and ItsOn.jar from the resources.zip, re created the new resources.zip without these two files present, re-upload it to /system/vendor/itson and that danmed Activation screen kept on coming up.

Then I started googling for custom roms and found a rooted, deodexed and zipaligned Stock based rom and I flashed that, and with that rom I got no activation prompt and it worked, but there was one small problem, no 3G fall back support, if I enter an area where there is no LTE signal I can't fall back to 3G and I just figured out why, that other ROM that I am using is for a UMTS/GSM based handset and not for my CDMA based handset, that's why with this rom it can only connect to LTE but no 3G fallback.

I really want to go back to my original stock which I have it on my Nandroid backup since there is no CDMA roms for my model - XT1548, but I would like to know what is the offending apk so that I can remove it straight from TWRP file manager, or what to add or remove to /system/prop.build
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purplefruity:
Hey buddy! That's so cool and you're really lucky to have one of these devices. Even I don't have one! When on the activating screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and you should see a back arrow (of the navigation bar). Keep pressing the back arrow and you should go to the lockscreen!
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FNetV1:
How many times am I supposed to hit the back button? I started with the swipe from down to top then I pressed it like 100 times and nothing happens.

This is the screen:

I am taking this as a mission. I know there's got to be a way to disable/get rid of that screen. On an older Virgin Mobile device (unrelated to DDR) on an older android version (4.4.4) it was a matter of just removing Activate.APK from /system/priv-app, Activate.apk from /system/app and finally ItsOn.APK from /system/vendors/itson/resources.zip >> /app

But on this version on Android 5.1.1 there is neither an "Activate.apk" or any other *.apk file names that I can judge by its name present.

Here's my observation so far:

When I press the Emergency Call button, I get sent to the dialer app, if I press the Square to see a list of open processes, I then see two windows, the Dialer App, and then Activate screen app(by the way I tried swiping off that windows but it wouldn't let me, damned!), but the Activate Screen app has by title on its window title bar "Self Service", now going back to TWRP I see no such apk by any names that sound remotely as "Self Service" in either /system/app or /system/priv-app I think I have literally check folders one by one and not being able to find the offending apk.

Also, I manually analyzed the /system/build.prop line by line (its not that long by the way) and there was not any single line there that I could recognize as the one that might be invoking the activation screen to set its flag to either 0 or false.

This has me scratching my head, I haven't seen such a difficult challenge before. I have even tried removing some apps whose file names didn't make sense to me, like the ones with meaningless filenames containing random characters only to discover cascading "failed to start" such app windows one after the other, but the Activation screen still loading just fine.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purplefruity:
Wired things happen at wired times. I think The path of these files are in /carrier which you can't access. This is because there's a line in build prop that says ro.itson.path=/carrier/itson. I'll look into this further
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
In adb & fastboot directory on your PC, boot into fastboot mode on your device. Open a command window and enter this command.

fastboot erase carrier

That will kill the activation screen.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FNetV1:
Thank you so much, that did kill the activation screen, however I still cannot sing victory even though the activation screen wont show up anymore, I can't connect to the internet not even with WiFi. I connect to my WiFi router, it says connected, but an exclamation mark remains, there is something blocking outgoing connection within the phone itself, I wonder what could the offending app be? I manually installed System App Remover after flashing ES File Explorer within Recovery and I removed:

Every app that mentions "sprint" on any of the file name.

ID

Device Protector

and some others

Also I went to /system/build.prop and made sure the line that made reference to /system/vendor/itson was removed and I edited out resources.zip to get rid of ItsOk.apk and its Jar version.

Still No Dice, I cant connect to the internet using WiFi what so ever, I still get the exclamation mark (!) next to the connection icon.

I copied over my edited build.prop with the "../vendor/itson..." reference line removed, and the only change I made to the prop was modifying the Tethering Provision from 1 to 0 and Roaming from =false to =true thats it. I reflashed the Nandroid backup, but before performing the initial bootup right away I mounted system and copied over my modified resources.zip that doesn't have the ItsOk.APK and ItsOn.Jar, re-ran the fastboot erase carrier in case if it came back with the ROM restore and restarted. I completed the blue welcome screen, was sent to the desktop much faster this tome ( The Starting Services prompt didn't even show up ) but still no connection, same symptom.

It looks like there is some sort of firewall app installed that is blocking all connections from all network sources, but what firewall? I cant see anything and I tried removing anything that sounds like a firewall but to no avail.

The above img is after doing a fresh nandroid restore with everything factory running except ItsOn.apk and with the modified build.prop
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
You need to flash NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn from the latest factory firmware package. Your modem firmware seems corrupted. Just a guess but that should get you connectivity. Also, try flashing the boot.img from the firmware package. Some of the WLAN drivers are in the kernel itself I believe.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purplefruity:
Do what [MENTION=7383447]MotoJunkie01[/MENTION] said and then make sure your prl and profile are updated. ##UPDATE#
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FNetV1:
If I flash the updated NON-HLOS.bin and updated fsg.mbn that would close the loophole. I know because I was running a custom ROM I had downloaded from the Moto G3 stock based ROM thread where on that ROM 4G LTE does work and I don't have any problems connecting using WiFi only problem is that that stock based ROM I tried is not CDMA based it's for the XT1540 and there is no falling back to 3G only works strictly LTE since in areas here there is no LTE coverage and I need it to fall back to 3G where necessary.

On the CDMA stock based ROM it would only work upon the first boot (when I had activation screen popping out) after saying "activation successful" and everything would be alright until I restart the phone, all of a sudden nothing can connect to internet not even wifi, it would see my access point and I am able to connect it, it gets an IP address and DNS successfully from DHCP server but then the exclamation mark remains (!) On the wifi icon, Google Chrome reports "connection refused" when attempting to go to any website even if the website is my router's gateway IP address (not using DNS here - still connection refused error message).

So with all that said, I don't think the baseband that I am running or my current boot.img is the cause of the problem, I am almost certain the stock CDMA ROM has something in there that is blocking all connectivity from all interface as if I try other Roms I have no problems except the 3G not fall back problem being Roms not for CDMA Ospreys.

The lack of custom Roms for the CDMA OSPREY has me trying to make my stock work properly so that everything can work the way it should.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purplefruity:
Hmmm. So just stick with a custom ROM then. Flash the old modem no the lastest one as that closes the loophole. No 3g is either virgin mobile blocking it or its your modem. Make sure your prl and stuff are activated
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
I'm running the most recent 6.0.1 NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn. I can assure you it doesn't close the loophole.
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FNetV1:
Hmm OK, because I flashed the HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn for 5.1.1 from that other thread for the XT1540 rooted deodexed zimaligned stock based ROM and as soon as I did I lost LTE connectivity on that ROM, it would last connecting like for 3 seconds and then switch to "emergency calls only" luckily I had made a backup of my baseband that I was able to restore and that bought back LTE just fine. That's where my reluctance to further touch my baseband was coming from.

I will explore what you said. For as much as I hate to admit, I think I am loosing the battle with the unmodified factory stock ROM, I am certain there is something on this ROM that is causing it to kill all data connectivity from any interface when it can't find what it's looking for in /carrier since I eliminated it, the question would be, what exactly is the process or thing responsible for giving me this much trouble.

Also, what ROM are you running for the loophole and does it support 3G connectivity?
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
PM me. I'd rather not discuss this on open thread
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purplefruity:
Dude this is the xt1548, not xt1540. Make sure you're flashing xt1548
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FNetV1:
The ROM author on that thread said that all binaries works in all Osprey variations since technically it's the same exact hardware what's only difference between all variations are amount of NAND space, amount of RAM and number of sim slots, and I researched it all. When I flashed the XT1540 baseband to my XT1548 as an experiment, my radio did work and all was technically "normal" technologically wise meaning that if I bought a prepaid card I would have "service" but the loop hole got closed with that baseband being a latter version where the manufacturer probably patched it so what I did was simply restore my old baseband and I had the LTE connectivity once again. That's why performing backups is always important, I never do anything without first doing backups.
