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....
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.
Hi,
I have a verizon lg Spectrum vs920 that I would like to use on android $55.00 cricket plan. I just recently got it flashed by a professional via remote flash. Everything seems fine on the phone. Checked the settings a million time. I am not a complete noob at flashing as I have done a lot of phones before. But my experience stops at Motorola Razr days. I haven't been in touch with the flashing market since than. I tried to do the phone myself but realized how far those phones has come.
Anyway, I tried to do a esn change but the phone itself has only IMEI number and cricket has to have MEID number. I tried to do a conversion using a ESN converter but initially I didn't get any result. So, I did the conversion with out the last number of the IMEI (read it somewhere, don't remember right now). I gave the Cricket rep the conversion result, they put it in to the system but the phone didn't work. So, I called back and talk to their tech support. According to them, phone won't work because it has a Sim card in it.
My questions to you guys is,
Has anyone actually ever used this phone with cricket service?
Can it be used with the Sim card in it?
As this phone won't dial *228 and you can not access the service menu, how do you activate this phone?
What exactly should I give the cricket rep when I call the next time.
I noticed the flash didn't set any sid,Nid number, could that be the problem?
I hate to spend another 15.00 and not get the phone going. Please let me know as much as you can about the activation process while I do a little more checking on the settings to see the problem could have been with the phone and not the activation process.
Thanks in advance.
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

Update got everything working once I was in ruim only I called them at told them I had two phones and gave them the full imied as my second phone then the iccid and voila activation was a breeze
Hello, I just bought a verizon Samsung Galaxy s7. I am a net10 customer, so to use the phone i purchased the byop kit and inserted the verizon compatible chip and then i go to register the phone with net10, and it says it cant do it, to contact customer service. So I called them and they said that for some reason the imei wont register manually, and that i have to call verizon and see if it was locked. So i called verizon and they said according to the imei i gave them it isnt locked, and that verizon doesnt even lock 4g lte devices. but no matter what i do i cannot get the phone to register with imei. I have even tried strait talk. Another thing to note is that on the verizon website, the s7 isnt listed as compatible device for a byop plan.
So theres no one i can call to have anything unlocked, i cant get my money back from net10, after i called net10 customer service back and told them that verizon said it wasnt locked, net10 CS then stated that the phone wasnt compatible on their network.
A verizon tech said he sometimes has problems registering phone imei's. He said sometimes it goes through, and sometimes you have to keep trying. I really have no clue of what type of process is happening here...
So, i took out the verizon compatible sim, and put in the att/unlocked gsm device sim and then registered that through net10. it actually went through, I now have a phone number and i have basic data, but i cannot send or receive mms. I used the APN settings i found somewhere on the internet for ATT network as they are the only ones that work so far..
The other problem i have is that my phone says the sim isnt from verizon, which im assuming i can just flash the "u" version of the rom to take care of? But am i hoping there is a way to make my phone work in their network so that i can use the intended sim card.
So with all that said I have a couple questions.
1. Why wont my phones imei register on the carrier networks?
2. If i cant get it to register on their networks, is there any way to at least get my mms working?
I find it very strange that no one else has had this problem. I cant find any information as to why the s7's arent part of the byop yet.
Thanks in Advance!
