Hey Guys, Me again anybody have talk and data working on Verizon service? i got data 3G nice and fast way better then sprint. but talk has a akey problem i assume. which isnt a big deal cuz i use it mainly for data. just want to know what the deal is. verizon cant fix it OTA and i know why but has anybody else done this??
thanks alot fellas
You need to call Verizon and ask for a new AKey, obviously you got around the fact that the Evo technically isn't in their database.
Once you get the 26 digit A-Key, plug the first 20 digits into the AKey calc in CDMA Workshop. Add the ESN and make sure the the checksum is the same as the last 6 digits of your 26 digit AKey.
It will calculate a 16 digit Hex AKey and you write it to your phone. Boom, done....now your phone is authenticated and you're ready to rock!!!
By the way, I could use the Data settings for Verizon, I have talk and text working on my Evo 4G on Verizon but not data, PM me if you can share. THANKS and GOOD LUCK!!
thanks for the info brother, check your pm
Good info, thanks guys. Just out of curiosity what ROMs are you running on your vEvos? Did you have to mod the roms in any way to get them up onto verizon?
im running the MikG-v3.0-signed Rom its gives me the best access to ## codes. i have to be able to set Diag mode. some of the other roms dont have support the codes.

I too have a EVO on Verizon with data not working
the mic g rom seemed to be based on sprint kernal and had me roaming for it to work..... it got so late last night I gave up
any ideas ? any custom verizon based roms yet ???
please someone pm me with a solution
it was actually super easy to "port" the droid Incredible rom to the EVO back when I first started making the Jiminy rom.
All I had to do was swap a couple files/drivers for the hardware buttons/lights and replace the dINC kernel with an EVO one and the rom was ready to go. The hardware between the two devices is practically identical.
that would give you a rom designed for the Verizon network.
Actually, with that said, any dINC rom could be ported over using the same techniques for using an EVO on Verizon.
Help ! I am in the same boat, I have an EVO on Verizon and the internet stopped working.... Whats the best rom to run ? As the stock factory one always said
the phone was roaming...... I am really in a jam on this one
Have you tried doing it via WiFi?

pretty soon they going to start selling phones that can be used by any carrier without the need to flash or root...Phone Security methods have failed dramatically. and now cell phone carriers are doing away with imei locks, by 2014..

I'm a sprint customer and my who is on verizon wants to use my old Evo 4g because his phone is all beat up and he wants a newer looking phone. You mentioned that you didn't have data working but text and voice was working. Did you ever get data to work? and maybe you can share the steps you took to get the Evo 4g on verizon because refused to help him in adding the ESN to their database.

I bought an S2 on craigslist (probably sounds familiar) for $100 only to find out that it was too good to be true. The phone wasn't stolen (I later confirmed this with sprint), but the jackass didn't pay his bill. Anyways, I'm somewhat familiar with rooting (rooted my E3D), so I was curious what steps I would have to take in order to get this bad boy working (sorry someone else was irresponsible sprint, but I'm not). I have a couple of junk sprint phones laying around the house, so I'm ready to experiment. Also, does anyone think it would be possible to flash it over to US Cellular? Any advice would be appreciated!
Flash it to Cricket or Metro, it's not getting activated on Sprint until the bill is paid.
I think Boost mobile is another option too.
There are posts here and there about porting the E4GT over to third party carriers, some are very detailed. Search for 'E4GT Boost Mobile' or whatever carrier and see what comes up.

Or you could resell to one of the developers here so they can test software without having to fry their own phone.

I doubt it. I didn't have to search hard to NOT find a single thing linked to this phone and US Cell so bets are that they are not a CDMA carrier.

I found this on multiple sources; US Cellular (3G - CDMA2000 800/1900 MHz)
I'm thinking it would be possible since they're on the same frequencies, but I'm a noob when it comes to flashing.

Got me there then. But, there still isn't any information concerning porting a Sprint E4GT over to US Cellular that I can find. Unless you can find a howto guide out there somewhere, it's going to be next to impossible to do. Maybe somebody will chip in here and let you know.

The lack (ok, extinction of) results on google is what prompted me to post on here. Glad it's got some attention, hopefully someone has a solution for me...
Please tread very lightly when talking about flashing cdma to another carrier. I know it can be done and is done everyday but talk about esn spoofing and such is illegal and can not be discussed on xda.
I know someone has a blog relating to the matter.. but linking or discussing the matter is forbidden on xda..

Wondering if anyone here has any experience or recommendations. I moved to an area where T-Mobile service is terrible. I'm considering doing the straight talk bring your phone option and getting the AT&T compatible sim since my phone is unlocked. I'm not sure how this would work as far as what radio i'd need to flash and whether other people have had good experiences with straight talk especially using a "tmobile" device with the at&t sim/service.

So Im taking it Straight Talk runs off at&t towers? I always thought it was verizon guess ill be looking into it more because I have the same exact issue.. I need to find a way to sim unlock my phone for free and if not free then something pretty cheap because I refuse to pay 25$ to websites i question are reliable or not. If you find anything post it and ill do the same for you. Also Straight talk sells sim cards for their service for 10$ if you didnt already know.
With straight talk bring your phone it operates off tmobile and or at&t towers and is gsm. Verizon is cdma and from what i've seen on the straight talk website they don't do cdma. Regarding an unlock call the carrier and as long as you up to date on your bill and have had service for a few months they should provide you with an unlock code for free. There is also a thread around here for a free T989 unlock it's a pretty easy process from what I recall.

Thanks for the info, The reason I didnt try getting A unlock code from tmobile before was because i herd you have to have your phone paid off before they would give you one because you could easily just switch service and keep the phone. Is that true? Because im still paying off my phone they add 20$ to my bill each month because the credit of the account holder wasnt good enough. Im gonna try looking for the thread you mentioned though.
EDIT: Also after i unlocked my phone could I use the same sim ive been using until i buy my new one? Or should i just wait to unlock when i get the new sim card? Sorry for all the questions i just wanna be cautious about this so i dont end up bricking my phone.

If you unlock you can still use your sim. I am getting a rom put on T-989 right now with a Straight Talk Sim card. I unlocked mine back in April but then got the Note. I was on Tmobile but data was horrible outside the big cities. Have been on the AT&T ST sim since last April on my Note and love it. Just wanted to try the GS2 out again and looking for a decent rom.

Both, the phones they used to sell would have either a "C" or "G" at the end of the model# indicating whether it was CDMA or GSM compatible. Not sure about some of their newer phones though, since I think they also have HSPA phones now.
I would imagine the network they assign you to when you bring your own phone would depend on your current network since I think they still operate on both towers.

When you buy the sim you can select either Tmobile or AT&T. AT&T has better coverage in my area. You can't buy the sim at Wally World. Only online.

Hello there, I would like to apologize in advance for any mistakes in this post. I am new to xda-dev. I got an epic 4g touch currently working on PagePlus and I've been looking for other prepaid carriers that allow unlimited data. I did a little browsing on YouTube and came across a video of the galaxy s II ( epic 4g touch) working on the Verizon prepaid with data, mms and everything else working. Of coarse they had a link to a website that does remote flashing but they charge over 60 dollars for the service. I've gone to several dealers and they only offer me PagePlus and Revol wireless. I am a little tech savvy and understand my phones settings. Is there any way or "guide" i can flash my phone over to the Verizon prepaid wireless without having to pay a big amount of money for it?
Thanks in advance. :good:
Pm me. i can help you out

I would like to know how to do this too. I have spent so much time trying and I cant get the HA AAA keys to stick.
Is this just an issue of rooting the phone, or is it more than that?

Hey guys I just got the note 4 after having the note 2 for a while so I have a few questions.
I bought my phone from swappa and just popped my CRICKET SIM in with no problems after putting in APN. My only problems are that I cannot set-up call guarding because it says there is a network/SIM error. Any ideas?
The second is that mobile hotspot says there is a temporary error when starting up. Is this because it cannot technically register on AT&T network to work? Ore week I have to use a stock rooted ROM with hotspot for SM-910A (or other compatible ROMS)
What do you guys think, should I just call AT&T (figuring you guys would know more since those people usually don't know what a ROM even is)
As far as I know the phone is network locked but when I try to put unlock request in through AT&T they cannot find my IMEI. Phone is clean ESN since SWAPPA does check before any sale is made.
I also tried both APN settings that have aiowireless or cricket wireless in fields.
call fowarding working good for me just a reminder Cricket Wireless does not provide hotspot.
Cricket has nothing to do with hotspot if its already available. Technically if ATT unlocks phone it should work. Like I did with my note 2.
Are you in the same scenario as me, cricket behind your provider and att model?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A
I understand what are you saying. If you unlock your ATT Phone hotspot not going to work because hotspot only work if you have a ATT rooted phone or a ATT Custom ROM but in this phone its going to be different between note 2 and note 4. note 2 have the bootloader unlocked while ATT note 4 have the bootloader locked thats why its going to be more hard to obtain hotspot in note 4 on Cricket Wireless.
UPDATE: I called ATT and they said if I get the phone unlocked I can do va factory reset and then I will get hotspot unlocked. Apparently my imei is fine and they can check it but the website doesn't work.

I have cricket wireless and have an ATT Note 4 with Hot spot Working. Cricket only allows for certaint devices to use hotspot. And they are all phones that come from Cricket. The only phone they allow that is BYOD (bring your own device - from another carrier [att]) is the iPhones. What I did to get this working was I knew a friend that had the Cricket LG Stylus which is hotspot Compatible. We went to cricket and swapped out IMEIs in the system saying we we're switching phones and wanted it in the system not to just swap simcards in the phones.. When they did this I asked them to enable hotspot on my account and they we're able to enable it. Before they did not have the option because the box was grey out and showed i had a BYOD device. When we left we swapped Simscards back into our phones. Its been working for Two Months no Issues. I use hotspot for my Tablet all the time. Why Cricket does not allow BYOD to use the hotspot feature I will never know. Probably a ploy to get people to purchase their devices but it's Bull**** considering that it works just fine.
NOTE: Upgrade your data or anything you want to to do to your account before you do this as the system will pick up your BYOD phone in the system after a certaint time, hotspot will Continue to work unless their are changes on the account. If you make a change it will disable hotspotwe (showing you have a BYOD) and you will need to go to cricket again with a friend or your cricket phone that is hotspot Compatible and tell them to swap IMEIs and re-enable hot spot. Again. (I had to do this.)

Once you've done this you can also swap the sim into another device and hotspot will still work fine. I move my sim between my Att Note4 and my Att Blackberry Classic every other day.

Your phone number is embedded into your simcard.
We went to the store and the representative put the IMEI of my friends Cricket LG Stylo on my Account (connected to my phone #). And Vise Versa. (My AttNote 4 IMEI on her account connected to her phone number). They swapped the Sims when they did the IMEI change because we told them we we're changing phones. but when we left we just immediately swapped phones back when we got to her car.

You do not have to switch sims but the reps will want to because they will want to be sure each phone is working with the accounts they put them on when they get done..
Understood I misunderstood you. I don't know anyone that has cricket but I'm wondering if I can buy a cheap one from list for like$30-50 online. And then ask for swap and do what you did.

So how'd it go
I am on Verizon Wireless. My wife has the Motorola Moto Z Droid, and their is a known battery issue with the phone. The only way she can use her phone is if it is connected to the wall. So her friend gave her, her Verizon Note 8. However, upon testing it is suspended. Is there anyway to get around this such as new firmware, rom, etc? I wouldn't even mind taking over the payment's, but i'm not sure if that can happen.
Thanks in advanced.
EDIT: The Verizon Galaxy Note 8, that was given to us, is suspended from Verizon's network due to not making payments (i believe) is there anyway I can get it activated on my plan? When I check the IMEI on swappa, it claims that it is clean. However, when i tried to activate the device on my account it said it was suspended. I am trying to figure out if there is anyway to get around this..?

its the same thing as when a car note payment or payments aren't payed as agreed, they attempt repossession but in the case, they suspended until payment agreement or plan is resumed. best just to call and face the music. I have found that when you seemingly face the issue, they just want an attempt for you to contact them, hence the outcome is better than any legal ramifications. I assure you that attempting to switch carriers with throw a flag because current carrier must release you first then all else will work out
Verizon suspended acct
Call Verizon and tell them you bought the phone from a pawn shop but are unable to activate it and see what they say. maybe they can take the lock off for you. Doesn't hurt to try. All they can say is no.

I am on Verizon Wireless. My wife has the Motorola Moto Z Droid, and their is a known battery issue with the phone. The only way she can use her phone is if it is connected to the wall. So her friend gave her, her Verizon Note 8. However, upon testing it is suspended. Is there anyway to get around this such as new firmware, rom, etc? I wouldn't even mind taking over the payment's, but i'm not sure if that can happen.
Thanks in advanced.
EDIT: The Verizon Galaxy Note 8, that was given to us, is suspended from Verizon's network due to not making payments (i believe) is there anyway I can get it activated on my plan? When I check the IMEI on swappa, it claims that it is clean. However, when i tried to activate the device on my account it said it was suspended. I am trying to figure out if there is anyway to get around this..?

that's very sad and wrong for someone to present a smartphone because they got suspended, and it sounds like a sad ethical issue more than technical. only until prior carrier lifts the suspension will it become able to activate enough to get it working. Whoever the carrier will need to lift it first. Its the same thing as putting a BOOT on a tire for parking tickets.

I never heard of a device being suspended for non-payment, just an account

i had an overseas account breach my cable tv acct and slapped 6000.00 of iphoneXs in my account, and all were SUSPENDED, virtually unable to transmit data or activate. The fbi investigated and caught them. my issue was a breach, this issue here is easier to resolve and hopeful OP doesn't have to pay to lift suspension.
