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.
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.
Hey I have i747 Galaxy unlock. I bought a sim and it was working until i got home. When i got home the signal totally dropped ..When i got the school it picks up back again at certain parts of school. How can i fix this. I am not a techy . so i would need a step by step guide. I have already rooted the device. I am in Jamaica an di bought the ohone in the States and unable to send it back. What should i do.
I already tried to pulling the battery and removing the sim.
I tried changing to GSM only
I tired restoring the phone and nothing works
my friend was also trying to flash a modem on but it deletes the efs files. he said he tried to back up the efs file and it still not working.
i am in a corner here
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

unlock boost Mobile galexy s5
I am a boost Mobile customer, I likat I get for how cheep I get it for.
I want to root y boost Mobile galexy s5, I know unlocking it is the first step. But what if you don't want to change carriers, do I still need to unlock the phone to root it, do I need to go buy a sim from a different carrier to unlock the phone just so I can just turn around and put the boost Mobile sim back in.
Cant find any info on the situation I'm in. Any help would be grate.
My sister just got a sprint s5 and wanted to use it when she travels to Europe. Did this actually work for anyone? If not, is there another way?
If you have a sprint phone and would like to use it for boost mobile all u have to do is call boost customer service and tell them that you need to have the phone rescued. From there they will ask u for the meid number and all done. I have done this several times with my phones. I have sone this with numerous galaxy s3 and now currently my phone i have now which is a s5.
