I've been trying to sync my droid x to bell mobilities cdma network with no success, Besides having signal and when I make a call it says if you want to activate your phone call bell.
Bell says they can't use my Meid/ESN for some reason.
I have the droid rooted and have the bell prl flashed on the droid. I don't care about data I would take just using this phone for calls.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I was thinking if they can't use my esn could I use the esn from one of my old motorola razers? I tried changing the ESN on cdma(after unlocking it with the 000000 spc) but received an error. This was before I rooted, would I beable to change it now?
Anyone have any guides or pointers for the settings I would need to get the droid x working with motorola pst program or qpst.
Thanks all! Merry xmas,
Continuing the battle between A possible 300$ paper weight and Me! XP
any idea what settings i need to use to change the esn? I tried using cdma with motorola appeal setting v3, said the change was successful then reset the phone and the same esn returned. This would probably be the only way I could get this to make or receive calls since bell refuses to add cdma esns.

I have a sim & security unlocked Sprint phone touch pro 2 that we use on the AT&T network, USA. It works well, and registers with AT&T, but then after a bit it gets dropped, and pops up asking if you want to register with the network again. My friend has the same thing, and we are using different ROMs, and have tried different radios, but we both have this same issue. Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue, maybe a registry edit or something?
thanks.
I'm also curious about this. I'm on Verizon and was given the phone to keep from my last employer and my new one uses AT&T. I haven't done enough digging yet but wanted to *bump* this thread as I'm looking to keep my CDMA VZN phone and use it on AT&T permanently and wanted to know if there are others who have done this already.
*Anyone had success with using their CDMA phone with AT&T/Tmobile without GSM disconnecting as the OP mentions?

wooties, I read somewhere where the verizon touch pro2 works for AT&T GSM in the us, but not sure where. Search xda and ppcgeeks. I have the Sprint touch pro 2.
I just answered this one in another thread, so here is a copy and paste...
With your AT&T SIM in you probably need to set to manual network instead of automatic so it stays connected to AT&T and doesn't try to flip back to CDMA - if you've already one this, then someone else will have to jump in, but the settings are:
All Settings > Personal > Phone > Network (tab) > Mode of Operation = GSM/UMTS Only
This should keep it from jumping back to Sprint and then back to AT&T where it asks you to register again...
Remember though, with a CDMA world phone, you will only get 2G coverage here with your data as the 3G radio is a different frequency.
Hopefully that does the trick - and if not, someone else jump in and save them quick!
With the Mez handset. Can someone help clarify something for me. In order to convert a phone from use with one carrier to another. My beliefs (Axplain if they are flawed)
For one handset to be able to be used on another carrier the phone has to be able to at least roam on the other carriers towers (That would show that it uses that same frequency) Yes or No?
In my head (having experience mostly only with iDEN mods from way back in the day) is it as simple as flashing files from one handset that works on a specific network to the new handset. In this case - a Mez from USCC to be flashed with a backup of a Prevail rom for use with Boost. Recovering the Imei from a donor handset and such I will figure out later, just want to know if this in theory is even possible.
Any input would be great.
In my head it goes something like this..
Root the Mez -> flash with prevail or sprint rom - install prl file for desired carrier..
Thanks,
U would need to get the esn from a donor phone and clone it to the one u want to use then the prl and data profiles from donor need programmed into new phone then u activate donor phone and use new phone with donor phones esn to connect to network. If prl and data profiles are correct u should be good. It is illegal and all but hey good luck.

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

Okay Developers & Non-Developers, Simple Explanation to my Problem.
1)Sprint manufactures a phone with Contract lasting for 1 year. This is a CDMA phone. John buys this phone in USA.
2)After contract is over, John's Friend - Jill Takes his phone to India, Goes to Reliance CDMA Gallery and Unlocks this phone, She gets a New phone Number.
3)Now Jill is happily using the phone. Note that, She has RELIANCE network and her Phone number is "INSERTED" in the phone as this phone doesn't have a SIM Card Slot.
4)Jill deciedes to sell this phone to me. She ERASES everything including her number which was in the phone and sells it to me.
5)I already have a CDMA Reliance Phone. All i have to do is go to Reliance CDMA Gallery and "INSERT" my number in this phone.
6)When I go there, Reliance girl says "The person who used this phone before, we need her number in this". I say"But she deleted this number". She says"Get her number first or the phone is useless".
7)She does not answer her call.
8)My question- Is there anyway i can I) INSERT my Number into the phone?
(II)o something to the hardware so that I can Directly insert my CDMA Reliance SIM?
Awaiting Reply. Panic-Stricken! :crying:
You'd have to flash it yourself through CDMA WS, DFS, or qpst. Google them, but I think Dfs and qpst have free versions.. Make a backup of all the settings first through whichever flashing to you use though!

Alright, so using DFS or QPST i have to FLASH another ROM in my phone? Or REPAIR stuff within it?
First off, I'm not a professional or very good at this
so be careful, in fact, if I were you, I'd have someone else flash the phone for me. Anyways, you're not flashing a ROM, you're flashing your number and and all the other stuff that goes with it to the phone. I'd use a donor cheap junk phone that's already flashed to your line, and copy the settings from there. Then experiment with the settings to get data/MMS working

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!
