so I have posted to this board a few times before but its been a while. I am currently working on a sprint q9c to get it over to verizon. flashed it already but cant get cdma workshop or qpst to see it on the port. can connect to port but when I go to read the phone it says failed to respond or no phone. anyone know how to get qpst or cdma workshop to see the phone? tried a virtual port but no go.
on another note, talked to a tech supervisor at verizon today and she confirmed they will still add phones from other carriers if you can get the tower to pick it up. she said "not all phones and not all carriers". I cant get my phone to connect to the *228 for verizon to get it to send the ESN. again any ideas?
**UPDATE**
okay, updated PRL and the phone can now talk to the verizon network. just need to see if the esn will make into the system so I can add the device, if not I will have to try other measures.
helppppp!!!!!
I have searched and searched and searched, used google, ask, bing, everything. I just want to get my sprint q9c onto verizon. I have flashed the rom updated the prl and verizon says they will not add this phone. I am left with cloning the esn from my original Q to my Q9c. I have looked and searched everywhere for directions on how to do this and can find nothing. I have radiocomm, rsd lite, rsd general, unicdma, qpst, bitpim, cdma workshop, ceregedit, cdma universal and no directions on how to do the ESN change. I am pulling my hair out! I have been searching for 3 days for some info on how to do this. please help, I am begging someone....

Help!!!
Hello new member here in desperate need of help. I purchased a previously owned droid x2 and I tried to flash it to cricket with no luck. according to cricket it's something having to do with newer network not compatible with verizon phones in my area(las vegas).
so, I decided to try verizon's prepay. but, for some reason my phone is stuck on the prl(32100) I had flashed it to. I can send and receive text and I can also receive incoming calls. but, I can't seem to activate the phone to call out or get data.
I thought that I'll try flashing the phone with a better verizon prl and that may do the trick. unfortunately when I try to write the prl to the phone I get an error message, phone ask for spc. spc (6 digits) is required.
I had already unlocked the phone with 000000 spc prior to attempting to write the prl.
does anyone know if entering a different spc will work or where to get the spc? also, what I can do at this point to get my phone working?
I already tried calling verizon tech. support a prior to trying to reflash the phone with a different prl. but, they couldn't figure out how to get the phone to activate. perhaps I can try calling them and seeing if they know a spc that I could try and use?
thanks

When I first put my shift on boost, I used my sprint touch pro, which was already on boost, as donor and copied the meid/esn but nothing else. When it OTA activated, 3g was working great for a few months(i guess off the previous sprint user's account, but I incorrectly assumed it was from the hands free). Recently it had dropped down to 1x only and ##debug# showed 2-authentication failed. I Tried copying the ha/aaa from the touch pro but can't get them both with QXDM, and I spent hours looking through nvitem dump trying to find them.
So, I bought a rant and had my service transferred there. Zeroed esn/meid with the qmat script, new meid/esn, ha/aaa secrets, and all settings from rant to shift. Now it says 1-authenticated, but no internet at all. Also, i can't hands-free activate it anymore. If I do it will lose mdn, msid, and ha/aaa secrets and i will have to restore settings in QPST service programming from a previous save. Before I switched to the rant I could OTA program fine.
Anyone have any ideas? Help is much appreciated at this point. I am desperately in need of internet on my phone bc I am a consultant and constantly having to email clients on the road.
Switching back to the touch pro is not really an option bc it is a sprint TP and the esn is still a sprint esn. I bought it preactivated. I know it's still a sprint esn bc every time I called boost they told me it was a sprint esn.
Thanks in advance! I need help!

Have you tried viewing/posting to this thread at all?

I don't have any experience with Boost personally but I did run across this recently and remembered your post.
Hi, I want to flash my phone to Verizon prepaid.
I have a Evo Shift I have been using on Boost. The coverage is bad and Verizon is the only provider that gets good coverage to my home. Verizon or Verizon through straight talk, I dont want anyone else PP ect.
The meid is taken care of and I flashed a 01337 prl , so I do not need any help there, but Im having trouble getting it on to Verizon.
Im having trouble getting it on Verizon.
It will not OTA and I cannot get into the Revere donor phone settings because I cannot get the spc/msl.
Ive tried 000000, looking in NVM folder in bit pim, and scaning in dfs, lg download will not recognize it.
Do I need a prepaid specific prl?
Can anyone tell me how to get the spc for VN150 Revere? Will Verizon give it to me?
Is there another very inexpensive prepaid phone that would be better to use?
Ive been searching for anwsers for days, seriously. I found the thread about putting the Evo 4g on $50 Verizon prepaid, but the annoying forum rule of 10 post prevents me from veiwing it.
Thanks
I think the page got pulled. If you search from google cache you can still see it. I'm in the same boat as you. I bought a pantec caper because the post indicated the phone was super easy to pull the data from, but windows 7 does not recognize it. It does not automatically go into diag mode. So I've been googling for a couple days trying to piece together some info.
Im able to connect to the Revere in Windows Xp and Windows 7 by downloading the driver from LG, but there is something weird with the spc. 000000 isnt working and workshop cannot read it.
I did get the Shift to OTA, I had not changed the SPC to 000000 so Verizon would not activate it.
I may not need the Revere SPC if I can just get the 3g settings and activate another phone temporarily then switch back to the Shift so that it sends a new Akey.
Dumb question: How do I search Google cache?

I'm using FireFox. Quick way is to google FLASH EVO TO VERIZON $50 UNLIMITED. Then on the result that you want (~3rd one down), rather than clicking on the link, if you click on the >> Arrow on the right of result to get quick view, at the top of hte quick preview of the page, it will show cached. Click that link.
This is highly against the rules.

Ok heres the deal.
My friend sold me this Phone.
Its sch-r920. With CDMA/LTE
Has bad imei and no sim card.
I used qxpc and dfs. I can get it identified which was a pain
Until I changed usb setting to modem from pda.
Now I can connect. And it will let me change phone number
And prl lists and everything except the emei.
It says bad code. And the spc I have works.
It works on all programs.
In dfs the spc lets me read and write everything but emei.
There is no nv_bat. It has the efs folder.
I am not concerned with LTE. I just want the 3g and the phone to work.
metro wont get 4g in this area in my lifetime.
When I check engineering mode it has sp lock and net subset lock and the two others.
Are those lock just for the LTE network?
Or is that effecting my emei writing?
I went through this forum but not much on this model.
I never had a problem with cdma but this is a hybrid phone,
So its new to me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated ive been reading for a week.
I love learning more but it would be nice if someone threw me a bone.
And im not afraid of hex editing, just cannot find the file to edit.
Thank You so much for reading and feel free to pm me.
Starting this October, PagePlus is offering 4G/LTE. Initially, I was assuming that all I need to do is plug in an LTE SIM card and activate account, and all will be peachy. However, it seems that by flashing phone to pageplus when it looks like a 3g device, I have messed up some radio settings, and verizon provisioning doesn't work, phone repeatedly keeps trying to call *228. Contrary to that, the other S3, which I didn't flash does not call at all, but instead pops up message box stating that the phone is being programmed, and after a couple minutes it's online . I do not remember what exactly did I program, it was awhile ago . Pageplus support knows that problem, and they are advising anybody who wants to go LTE to bring up an unflashed phone, saying the flashed one won't work
There are folks on kitty forums who offer remote de-flashing for 30 bucks, but no description what actually they do. Does anyone know what the process is? I can get my phone into QPST/DFS. Anyone knows what to do next?
UPDATE: see post #3 for solution
Can't help you with deflashing, but I will tell you that my local page plus vendor did mine for free and it only took him about 5-10 minutes. Maybe yours would do the same. Just a thought.

I guess it indeed is simple once you get to QPST mode. I used DFS to program, and the only setting I had to change was RuimConfig = RuimOnly (from NV_ONLY), see screenshot attached. Did not work on 4.0 firmware which I tried to use first, but worked fine on 4.2.1 and 4.1.2.
I got a sim card for my phone. All I did was verify that my phone was on RuimOnly (it already was), then I contacted PagePlus to activate my simcard (you're supposed to do this before you put it in your phone, they say) and they remotely programmed the phone, everything went smoothly. I have 4g data now, no "unflashing" required. Pretty easy. :good:
You put it on your phone before, you want this set up, then you can use the phone, so no problem.
Confirmed
I can confirm this works. I switched 2 samsung galaxy note 2 SCH-i605 from 3g to 4g.
The phones were originally flashed over to pageplus using wireless workshop. This puts them on pageplus as 3g phones. They drop the last digit of the MEID so it is a 14 digit code (3g) instead of 15 digit for 4G.
Here's what I did to get 4G LTE working.
Ordered a pageplus SIM card from pageplus
put the simcard in the phone
Used DFS to change RUIM from NV_Only to RUIM_only
Contacted Pageplus on chat and had them change my phone from 3g to 4g. I'm not sure exactly what they did, but I gave them the 15 digit MEID and the SIM ICCID (printed on the sim card you get, or look in settings, about device, details or something like that, you know where to look. ) The customer service rep said that what you need to tell them is you want to change a 3g phone to 4g. I told them it was back to standard firmware just to make them happy. It seems the RUIM changes is all you need.
Voila! Reboot the phone, give it a minute - it connects to 4G and then disconnects and looks like it has failed, but give it a minute and it comes up with 4G LTE and speedtest.net confirms it is blazing fast.
Loving it!
This is only required for a verizon phone that has been flashed in the past to make 3g work on Pageplus. Not needed on contract phones from verizon that are originally 4g.
Happy downloading!

Gift for a friend
hi everyone,
I have a few questions based on my circumstances. I just deactivated a S3 Verizon from PagePlus which was flashed to 3g. I would like to hand my phone off to a friend as he's running a Droid X (!).
1. From what I understand to "unflash" I need to use DFS (cdmatool.com) and set Ruim config to RuimOnly. However, I believe the phone needs to be in QPST mode? I'm not entirely sure how to do this. Can someone point me in the right direction?
2. Since I already deactivated the phone, when my friend tries to re-activate on pageplus (with a new SIM), do we need to contact PP and tell them this device is now 4g?
3. Does it matter that I have a custom ROM running 4.3? I don't think so, but would like confirmation.
I really don't want to mess up this gift.
Thanks for any and all advice!

In general, this is done via USBSettings dialog, see if this thread helps you to get this menu enabled: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2227576
