Hi, i just bought the phone off ebay about a week back.
through a contact my dad has in Reliance(carrier in India), i have somehow manged to get my meid registered., the phone has been rooted and is running stock sense 2.0 ROM. every time i go to wireless&networks and set the network selection to home only, i get no signal. putting it on automatic gives me a roaming sign on the network bar. dialing *228(while roaming is on) brings me to a reliance answering machine(?). after choosing my language, it tells me that my phone could not be activated.
please help. many people have manged to do this but im not getting any response from them.
thanks, Sid.
Dial ##778# and change settings manually. The code is 000000. You will have to change Home SID to the SID for Reliance and change MDN and MSID. If your old phone worked, easiest way is to change the settings to match your old phone.

I've tried dialing ##778#, but nothing happens. just takes me back to the dialer. should i change my ROM?
How about ##7764726#?
If neither will work, you might have to flash to a stock ROM. Both should definitely work from a stock ROM.

yeah, that didnt work either. flashing to a stock ROM. will post back if it works. thanks, Sid.
just recovered the stock ROM and ##778# works! ive also manged to get the prl from my carrier, but i dont have my old phone. i can probably arrange the the MID no.s etc, though. Also, i dont have to change the ESN, do i?
I think these are the things you will have to change:
MDN is your full phone number including area code. In the US, this is 10-digits.
MIN1 in the US is typically the 3-digit area code.
MIN2 is typically the 7-digit local number.
MIN1 and MIN2 can be different than the MDN, but that's very rare and usually only happens if you've had a phone number change.
MNC and MCC will need to be changed for your country.
MCC+MNC+MIN1+MIN2 = IMSI, which is the the subscriber identification for your cell provider so you need to get those 4 settings correct.
Home SID will need to be changed to Reliance.
I think MCC, MNC, and Home SID you should be able to get from any working CDMA phone that successfully connects to Reliance. Maybe get it from a friend or family member's phone. MDN, MIN1, and MIN2 should be the only things unique to your phone.
No, if your MEID is registered, you don't have to change it or the ESN.

ive managed to change the prl, and now its activated on the network. after dialing *228 it tells me that my phone is blocked. my dads gonna use his contact and get that ironed out today.
thanks for all your help.
thanks, ive
hi this is vivek i also have a droid and it also has the same problem but the meid is not registered and it is rooted and has a stock rom but when i dial ##778# it juz come to the dailer so what shud i do pls help me out
MEID will need to be registered. There's really no reason to proceed if it's not, because the network won't see your phone.
##778# sometimes doesn't work on my phone, I often have to reboot it and immediately try ##778#. Oh, and you have to hit Dial after entering it. It will ask for a password, and that's going to be 000000.
However, without having your MEID registered, you won't get anywhere.

hi, make sure you get the a key. im having trouble getting that. last piece of the jigsaw i guess.
Usually a fresh activation doesn't require an A-Key, but if you change MDN/MSID too much, it'll trigger a security lockout in the fraud detection system, and then you will need the A-Key to reset it.
I don't know how it is with Reliance in India, but with Verizon in the US, you have to call a higher level tech support person to get the A-Key. One way to get around that, is to have the ESN/MEID on your account changed to a different device, and then change it back.

hi . ..
i was just wondering if it can be possible to use a
verizon a 855 (without sim) cdma phone in india???
we have cdma networks here ,but not very sure if they
work without sim on a BYOP thing. ...
I'm trying to write the MIN and Directory Number (MSD) of a cricKet phone I have on the $35 plan to a criKet Huawei Ascend to avoid paying the $60 plan. I got it connected to CDMA Workshop and I sent the SPC code to the phone and wrote the NAM settings. Everything wrote without a problem. However, the phone number on the phone's setting screen did not change. I disconnected and reconnected to CDMA Workshop and read the NAM settings. The settings showed the new number I has entered. I thought maybe I had to restart the phone to get it to update on the phone's settings. After restarting, the phone still displayed the old number. Also, the NAM settings in CDMA Workshop reverted to the old number. The new MIN is still there and shows on both CDMA Workshop and the phone's settings screen. However, the MSD will not change even though CDMA Workshop reports it as a successful write. Any ideas?
i have the evo and been tryning to get it to boost mobile. i got to the part with qxdm and zeroing out the meid and esn. i managed to erase the MEID which reads on the phone info (##786#) meid (hex) 000000 meid (dec) 000000 but i cant erase the ESN...eventually i gave up and left it as is and got the phone working on clearwire 4G...works great except google services (cant add google account) even thru wifi it gives me the : Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server
now the internet works but cant get that...is this problem related to my meid ? if it is then i would purchase CDMA workshop just to fix this but then again...theres a 2.7 floating about but im not a pirate...
Yes has to do with Meid and u cant change meid with 2.7 without a lot of skill but u can use qxdm but still need skill

Ok, so I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 [SPH-L710] that I want to flash to Page Plus.
I've looked through Google, and have it working CDMA - 1xRTT
For the life of me, I can't find a way to get it working on 3G
Every conversation goes to: PM Me
[but the Convos are about a year old...]
Or use a Donor Phone
[But my MEID won't Stick...]
I have the SPC Code, and the 16 digit passcode for my SGS3
[and for the donor phone, but I hear you can get it working with no donor phone]
PRL: 53269-page-plus-sprint-phones
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Pretty sure you should edit those pictures so they dont show your MDN (phone number), MIN, and MEID.
The few people who know how to get 3g without a donor don't want to share, so you will need a donor to get the keys or find somebody willing to get them for you.

That's what I was afraid of, good ol Capitalism...
I do have a Donor Phone, but the MEID/ESN won't Stick...
Got it!
Ok, so you have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3, [SPH-L710] and you want to Flash it to Page Plus?
[I'm assuming this will work for ANY carrier, but we all know what assuming does...]
Take it to dealer and have the MEID activated.
Flash the PRL of carrier you want to switch to, restart phone.
You'll also need to change the SPC on the Phone to 000000
Here's the trick, you need another phone with the dial pad open and ready.
hold the other phones speaker to the mic of the S3
Dial *228 on the S3 you want activated.
When it asks you to press 1, press one on the other phone,
The S3 will hear the dial, and proceed to program it for you.
[Back in the day if you recorded the tones that were made from a payphone after paying, you could play it back,, it would hear the dial, and think you paid, when you didn't]
Now Flash a correct PRL [I have provided a copy I used for Page Plus]
No Roaming Signal
CDMA - EvDo Rev.A
Blam, it works.
