Ok everybody, after a few days of tinkering around with the help of many different forums and threads (sorry, i cant possibly start thanking individuals cuz i went through so many threads) i finally got my htc thunderbolt on PPC with 3g working. this is how
1.) remove the 4g sim card (if you have it) from the thunderbolt
2.) aquire all of the drivers you need for the thunderbolt and DM mode (hint, use htc sync)
3.) on the phones dialer dial ##3424# and press send
4.) hit the button that says reboot to modem+diag mode
5.) when your phone is plugged into the computer, has all the drivers installed, and is picked up in the device manager as 2 com ports
A.) The voice, text, and 1x com port is the htc diagnostic
B.) the 3g/4g com port is htc diagnostic 9k
6.) aquire a copy of cdmaws (2.7 is fine, there is a cracked version floating around, just use google no warez links
7.) open up cdmaws and connect to the non 9k port and connect
8.) go to the security tab and input your spc (000000) and click send, should say unlocked
9.) go to the other tab and under R-UIM Config make sure you select NV only then click write
9.) write all your nam settings, mdn, min, sid, nid, imsi and etc etc (other posts here at xda have all the details) repeat for name 2
10.) go to the other tab and under prl make sure it says universal and nam1
11.) click write and locate your pageplus evdo prl file (i used 51720) repeat for nam2
12.) go to the main tab and click disconnect but DO NOT CLOSE CDMAWS!!!!!!!
13.) connect the 9k port and repeat steps 8-12 but dont read, just write (all of your settings should still be on the screen)
14.) close cdmaws after all the settings are written to the phone
15.) find a copy of qpst 2.7 build 366 (again, google is your friend) and install it
16.) open up qpst configuration and click add new port
17.) find your non 9k com port click it once then click ok
18.) at the top go to start clients->service programming
19.) click ok then click read, click ok on the pop up that comes up
20.) go straight to the m.ip tab and create a new profile (or edit the one that shows up if it shows up) make it look like the screenshots i have below
21.) write the profile
22.) go to the PPP config tab and put *your 10 digit page plus phone number*@vzw3g.com for your nai and *your 10 digit phone number*@dun.vzw3g.com for teth. nai. password is vzw for um and an tab.
23.) close service programming and select the com port in configuration and remove it, close qpst configuration
24.) get a copy of dfs tools (demo is perfectly fine)
25.) see screenshots included at bottom of post
26.) make sure you start with the non 9k port, write what you need. and change ports to the 9k port without closing dfs tools, write everything to the 9k port (to be sure i pressed write for everything about 30 times but i may have been a bit excessive
27.) now activate the thunderbolt on your pageplus account by taking the last digit off of the imei number and they'll take it.
28.) insert ANY sim card into the sim card slot (NOT A VERIZON 4G ONE) i used a old nextel one to be honest
29.) turn on phone and dial *#*#4636#*#* and click phone information. change to cdma auto (prl) and close out.
30.) make a phone call and BAM 3g picks up and authenticates
Sorry if this guide isnt easy to follow, im not too good with wording things, lol. but it gives enough info for others to help including me.
also make sure under wireless and networks-> mobile networks-> that data roaming is allow for all trips, network mode is cdma only, and system select is automatic b
feel free to post to this thread with any shortcuts, questions, or comments

Thanks for the hard work you have done deathrow1993 ,I have been around in circles with this, It looks like you have come up with the answer. I have 2 questions for you.. 1: I have CDMAWS 3.9 a little different from the one you have..You mention go to the other tab and under R-UIM Config make sure you select NV only. In CDMAWS 3.9 the R-UIM config is on the main tap and there is also the button that gives the option of CDMA or CDMA2 or EDVO etc. and another button that gives the option of NAM1 and NAM2 .. Do I write to NAM1 and NAM2 under CDMA and CDMA2 and EDVO?? The last question 2: on the program page of DFS CDMA you have 765 2385692 in several fields is this the phone # thanks for all your work with this. I have had the 1X working for a bit now but getting tired of the slow speeds. Again thanks to you everybody else that has contributed to this... Merry XMAS

Thats my cell phone number. Forgot to edit the pictures i guess. If you have cdmaws 3.9 and its the paid version in order to get 3g go to the evdo tab and put yourphone#@vzw3g.com for all fields and vzw as the password. Then have pageplus do a esn reset and a data reset and 3g should work. If its not the paid version then the evdo tab wont write. It sounds like you already have talk and text working? also make sure if you write something (nv only, nam settings, m.ip, and ppp settings, anything) make sure you write to both nam1 and nam2.
Thanks a bunch for your tutorial. I am going to try to flash my spare tbolt to PPC and have been reading everything that I could find.

no problem. just make sure youre on the stock rom so you can get diagnostic mode working. after everything is flashed i know its safe to flash a custom rom and even a new radio. i was on a bamf rom after 3g started working i then upgraded my radio from .9 to .19 and everything stuck. if you have any questions just keep me posted

Deathrow you can still get into diag mode with ICS roms and probably other non sense ones as well. Google "GScript Lite" and you can put your phone in diag mode without the reboot. I am with PPC too and love sense roms for ease of programming your phone without ever hooking it up to a computer but have run into losing data when flashing roms.

Thanks again for your tips. I currently have voice and SMS working...Still trying to get data tho...
deathrow1993 if you ever make it near PDX I'm buying you a beer!
Process worked (took me awhile to find all the tools).
I haven't got a non-vzw-LTE SIM card yet so I have the Verizon one in there (wife's phone...keeps the phone from complaining) and it at least functions with text/voice for her.
I suspect it will start snagging 3G once I get the random SIM card in there.
Best part was that this avoided having to use the paid version of CDMA Workshop (their DEMO version you can download lets you mod only the CDMA pages, not the EVDO). I really didn't want to part with $99 just to program a used phone that isn't even mine
Thanks again! Learned a lot!
HTC Thunderbolt on Page Plus/w Voice/Text/MMS/Web
..Finally, after a week of trying to get data to work, IT WORKS!! HTC Thunderbolt on Page Plus 55$plan, Voice/Text/MMS/Web at 1xCDMA. I started with the tips from this thread and others alike, used cdmaws2.7, DFS4103, QPST366, and WirelessWorkshop dotcom. To be honest, it was the WirelessWorkshop remote software and the Technical help from them(Dwane was his name) that got this working. I could never get the com ports/diag driver's installed correctly. I thought they were but they weren't and WirelessWorkshop(Dwane the tech dude) connected to my pc through teamviewer and fixed my problem with the ports and drivers! Way more than I expected him to do since I only paid to use the software remotely. Before he fixed my pc I could only write to the htc diagnostic modem, not the 9K..So CHeers to him and the rest of y'all that have helped out...
Now I need to get 3G working. I did run across this from another site's thread but I don't know if it works to fix 3G cause there are no other references to it:

I am not sure if changing the "vzw" pass to one of these would work or not.. Has anyone else seen this and does it work to connect 3G?
Hmm...
I popped in a non-4G-LTE SIM card yet still no 1x or 3G data (no MMS or anything).
Any words of insight here?
After having everything working(voice,sms,mms,data1x) for almost a week, I tried to get 3G to work and now I have no data or mms at all...I have tried to re-flash and re-flash, gone over all the settings a thousand times, but nothing...
Brandon314159, wish I could offer some advice but I find myself also asking for help now... The last three times I called PPC and had them reset my data, I still haven't gotten it back yet..

I'm thinking the APN may be wrong on my Thunderbolt (still verizon?) because it wasn't a setting I had to change in this process?
I will have some more time here soon to look at it and see if I can figure it out..
I don't think the sim card really matters much but I'm using the verizon sim because it holds the PRL. 3G data is working for me, you need to be able to write your specific keys to the phone using DFS. This took me a while to figure out but eventually I got my hands on a droid incredible and was able to use it for my source to setup the thunderbolt. I am not sure if there is any other way to work around this or not but it worked for me.
Edit: It may be that you need to do all the programming as stated by the OP before you do the activation or have an ESN reset thru PPC.

EDIT: I was wrong about the sim card but if you have a new one that was NEVER programmed before, then it will work with the 4G LTE sim card.
I had 2 used & 1 new sim card but I could only get the NEW one to work correctly with 3G. Sorry if I lead anyone in the wrong direction.
I am only finding one port (9k) since I upgraded to ICS. Does anyone have a similar issue or could this be another problem?

I have found This rom here to be the most useful in setting things up to where you can reboot to diag mode and then set everything else up as stated in the OP. Once you are finished, flash the rom of your choice but don't go thru with the vzw activation process so all of your settings will stick. They may still stick, I don't know for certain as I have never allowed it to finish.
Hi all,
Well i saw a lot of threads about how to unlock the Sprint LS996 flex 2 and a lot of strange explanations that the phone is locked on the hardware level, It's a lot of bull***
I just bought this phone from Ebay for only 280$ and it took me less that a hour to make it work in Israel (Hot-Mobile) 3G GSM/WCDMA network. (the LTE band are different than in USA so it can't be enabled due to hardware limitations)
This will only work on Android 5.0.1, who already did the upgrade to 5.1.1 should wait till approve of root method or
can try KingRoot application (Chinese developer and UI) and let me know if it's working. I did not used this app so can't really approve that it works.
5.1.1 Root (experimental):
Explain Video about KingRoot method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QicDqTKb_sU
5.0.1 Root:
I'm used this method for rooting G flex: http://www.smartphoneclinics.com/easy-one-click-root-lg-flex2-sprint-ls996/ (worked flawless)
SimUnlock:
After successful rooting and restarting the phone I've used this post for enable SIMUNLOCK (seem the db/obb files from G3 but they worked on my Flex 2): http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/help/managed-to-gsm-ls996-awaited-apn-t3090484
Did exactly what it says and used the files that attached to the thread. After restarting the phone Inserted the simcard and restarted the phone again, (I love restarts )
the network should change to "No Service" Instead of "Invalid SIM" or something like that before the obb/db file change.
Roaming Enable:
After you see "No service" you almost there
Go to Settings > Network > More > Mobile Networks > Network Mode and choose "Global"
Don't forget to add APN manually, you need to use WIFI for downloading applications like "Shortcut master lite" because there is no Mobile data... yet
APN setup:
Install Shortcut master lite click and hold the recent apps button and click "Search"
Search for apn select com.andoird.settings$ApnSettingsActivity and then click Launch / homescreen
Select on the Top Right new apn
Fill this form out with the apn from your provider (If you don't know the apn look it up in google APN settings for your provider).
Restart the Phone and let 1-2 min to the phone connect to your Mobile Provider
Let me know if this worked to you as well and press "thank's" button for me and "tomtam" that wrote the original post.
Actually after the root I manually de-bloated the phone using Root Uninstall and it's just amazing phone,
without any lag what so ever and i get Over 50K in Antutu 64bit. I'm trying to find a way to use custom recovery and i feel that i
found a workaround for that using TWRP Manager and Busy box..... (It's for different thread )

well lets get to it then it to much of a waste not having a custom recovery etc...maybe maybe a recovery using g3 bump would still work...
I did everything as you did for LS996 GSM unlock. I also enabled the LTE band 4 and it is working perfectly in my country, see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/how-to-enable-lte-bands-band-4-1700-t3097409.
To change apn simply install this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.appando.app.changeApn&hl=en. This app does not require root.
Use greenify app to control some apps resource use and freeze LG MLT service, just doing these steps you improve battery a lot.
Finally use any kernel control application as Trickster Mod to change scheduler to row from noop and set governor to interactive, don't forget to set changes at boot.
Enjoy your network unlocked, 4G capable and snappy flagship for only 200 bucks.

I believe this may be limitation. In the network mode option there is automatic, LTS/CDMA,CDMA and GSM/UMTS. I am thinking if you select LTE the phone will try to use CDMA for voice. So if your using A GSM network it wont work. There needs to be a option that says LTE/GSM.
No APN option.

Hello, I just bought a 2nd hand LG G Flex 2 for around $100 USD in Nepal. It is a USA Sprint model but unlocked. I checked the imei and its clean. It is already rooted and no sprint apps are present. Calls and sms are working good but there is no option of APN inside mobile networks. So i am unable to use data connection. Is there anyway i can enable it? And also the call volume via earpiece sounds a little low. Thanks in advance.
Hey!
I have an unlocked AT&T model LGV10 (unsure which series), which I have brought back to Australia. managed to get mobile data and MMS working with APNs, but I can't use the hot spot, getting the message "There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enablement of the mobile hotspot function. Please try again later".
Have done some reading, and is it correct that I'll have to root my phone to change a .db file, or install a stock/custom ROM to get hotspot working? Happy to do that, if it's what it takes, but not totally sure the best way to do that. Any help would make my day. Thanks!

Acquiring root is easy if you are on Lollipop. If you have upgraded to MM, then I'm afraid root is not possbile (yet). See what version of Android you are running, if it's Lollipop then we'll talk about the rooting process.

I have an unlocked AT&T model LGV10 (unsure which series), which I have brought back to Australia. managed to get mobile data and MMS working with APNs, but I can't use the hot spot, getting the message "There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enablement of the mobile hotspot function. Please try again later".
Have done some reading, and is it correct that I'll have to root my phone to change a .db file, or install a stock/custom ROM to get hotspot working? Happy to do that, if it's what it takes, but not totally sure the best way to do that. Any help would make my day. Thanks!

Have you tried this?

I have AT&T V10 in Australia on Vodafone and this fixed my issue with tethering. I know it says H810 which is different to H900 (AT&T) but works.
For some reason if your AT&T V10 was purchased on an unlimited plan this is the fix as was my V10.
Hopefully this helps.

Would love to share with you what I did to make my V10's hotspot work.
(My phone is not rooted and have a LG-H900 model.)
1. Download "Settings Database Editor" at the playstore. The icon is a blue cog with red background.
2. Open the app then select "system"
3. Find "tether_entitlement_check_state" then set it to "0".
4. Save.
Hopefully this helps.
Champion! This worked for me.
I didn't have that setting but added it with the zero value and now I can turn on the tethering
Thanks!

Wonderful, it worked like a charm, thank you
Same here, had to add the setting, for which the option to do so shows up in pretty big letters at the top of the list.
Anyway, LG G6 Hotspot now working so massive thanks to those who helped.
(Noob alert - after selecting 'System Table' on my phone(in the top right of the screen), tap "+ Add new setting" at the top of the list, then type "tether_entitlement_check_state" without quotation marks, then tap Save Setting, then enter the value "0" without quotation marks, and tap save again, and you're done; Hotspot worked straight away without rebooting).

Had to necro this thread to offer my thanks. 2 years later and this fix still works. Same thing, branded ATT LG V10 that has been unlocked (now on MetroPCS) would not activate hotspot. Downloaded app, checked for setting (not there) added setting and rebooted. Hotspot now active. You rock!

Hey guys, I have found a way to get hotspot working in Oreo without rooting or paying for the service. Timing seems to be important for Sprint's software to load and block the functionality of the hotspot. This method does work on Oreo, but it also works on all other versions below it as well. Follow the steps below or watch the video at the bottom and post back here if it works!
1. Download and install Shortcut Master Lite from the play store.
2. Open Shortcut Master Lite and search for com.test.ltefunctionality and make sure there are no spaces before or after the query.
3. Open the result ending with LTEFunctionalityTest and find LTE APN Setting in the list and tap it.
4. Open APN2 EHRPD internet and scroll to APN type. See if you can edit it. If so then great! Add ,dun to the end and to the same for APN2 LTE internet and you're done! If you cannot edit, which is likely on Oreo, then continue with the steps.
5. Some have had success with rebooting the phone and getting into Shortcut Master Lite quickly after the reboot. For others this does not work. You can try it and see for yourself.
6. Open up the dialer and type ##27263# This resets your carrier customization settings and reboots the phone.
7. Upon reboot, follow steps 2 through 4 again and it WILL work. Make sure you save your changes when editing the APN Types.
8. Verify your hotspot is working by toggling it on and connecting a device.

I got this to work on my Galaxy S9+ for the last two weeks. As of 5/29/18 it has quit working and If I redo the procedure it immediately catches it and shuts it off.

id like to know as well
Is there a way to get this to work on verizon? The old sim card trick no longer works on Oreo.
Does this still works? Also I'm suppose to have unlimited plan, but once I use certain amount of data the speed get drastically reduced, is there a way to avoid or bypass the speed limit on Sprint?
Btw OP love the Insaniquarium profile pic haha

I just used this on my note 8 with the CRE1 update and it worked great.
Now does anyone know if it works on the s8?
Hello, I was using an app (shortcut master lite) to modify hotspot to work. But now when I go into shortcut master it's all greyed out. I cannot select anything. Can someone help to enable so I can get hotspot to working again.

I have an S8+ and basically modified this setting via ADB way back on Android 7 and it has persisted all the way through the upgrade to Oreo. I am currently on CRG3 and it still works. One trick to note is to turn off mobile data, turn on the hotspot, and then turn mobile data back on. Has been working since I got this phone back in May 2017...
Now to see if the ADB method will work on the Note9 in a few days...

Reboot phone

Open shortcutmaster and edit apn's as usual

Hey guys, I have written an app that makes this process pretty easy. Shortcut Master Lite is no longer available on the Play Store.

Hi all,
Starting to get frustrated with my 3a and looking for avenues to address difficulty in maintaining a data connection when on the move. In all other ways this phone has been great.
When I am on the move - on the train, or in a car - my phone seems to lose data connectivity after a period of minutes. It seems to be an issue with maintaining a data connection when switching from tower to tower (at a guess). The phone does maintain mobile reception and I can be on a call without dropouts, but if for example watching a video, the video will stop, and eventually I will get the little cross in the reception icon to indicate no data connection.
No issues when not moving about, but am currently doing a lot of work on the fly, so hotspotting or conference calls are near impossible. This didn't always seem to be a problem, but due to Covid (and not moving around for a while), not sure exactly when it started. Have done some googling and tried a new sim card + changing private DNS settings with no luck. On the latest available update.
Is this a known issue with this phone? Any way I can diagnose or fix? Or am I looking at a new phone at this point?
Have rooted and switched ROMs on many previous phones, so quite happy to go down that path if need be.
cheers
I understand you say this only happens when you are moving but I would recommend checking with whatever carrier anyway maybe look on your carrier help site and write your same post here there and see if anyone else experiences the same. I would also save everything to USB or PC and flash factory image via fastboot and let it wipe not removing the fastboot -w in the./flash-all.sh. You could use an app like LTE discovery and set it to where you know exactly what it's doing and when it does it because you can set a small beep sound or wherever. What carrier do you use? Maybe update roaming , prl and profile, if you use a CDMA carrier. Also what type of case are you using? Just a few things that I thought of after reading your post here. You've probably already done all this but if not that's definitely what I would do. And last but certainly not least, are you using a custom rom or stock? Maybe check your/apns-conf.xml/ aka your apns and make sure they're correct and all for your carrier. I don't think you have to worry about apns unless you are using a custom rom in which case I would definitely check it out because sometimes they can be not right. I use Metro by T-Mobile and I'm located in the USA.
If you are on a custom rom you could try the old apn fix and just see if it's apn related... Wouldn't hurt anything.. Just save your current /apns-conf.xml/ and delete the apns-conf.xml file in your /system/etc/ and in /system/product/etc/ and replace the one in /system/product/etc/ with the one i link here and set permissions on it to 0644, then go to settings on your phone /networks and internet/ mobile networks/ scroll to bottom there and select access point names. Should be a lil three dot thing in top right and when you hit that select "reset to default" or "reset to default apn" and wait another 60 seconds or so then reboot. That will replace your apn configuration file. My file is recently copied from my last custom rom where everything worked fine and I had no issues. If this somehow is related to an apn outa wack then this will fix it. I learned this back years ago on another device forum from spaceminer here on xda. I've used this many times since and it's always worked. Again you don't need to do this on stock , only if you are using a custom rom. I believe stock is good.
