How exactly can i do this?

I used to be with AT&T with my 8525 and then switch to Sprint which of course doesnt work with Sprint. So i ended up getting a Samsung Rant and dont exactly like the web browser so i was wondering exactly how i would go about sharing my data connection with the 8525 via blutetooth. I tried it once and this is what i did:
1. I went to settings and clicked on connection settings under the connections tab.
2. clicked on Add a new modem connection under "My ISP"
3. When i do that it asks to enter a name for the connection and to select a modem, so i select bluetooth as modem and click next.
4. Then it asks for the device the connection is on and i select my rant and hit next
5. then it asks exactly this and has a text box under it: "Enter the number exactly as it should be dialed. include extra numbers, such as an ouside line or credit card" didnt exactly know what to put here so i just put a few randon numbers in to see what next step would be
6. then it asks for user name password and domain....dont know what to put here so i just clicked finish
7. when i try to connect to it. it says connecting and a message on my rant says entering into bluetooth data mode, and the 8525 tries to connect for a minute and says connection failed and goes back to today screen.
So if anybody could tell me in detail what info it is that i need it would be great. and also under select modem drop-down box there is a selection called "cellular line(GPRS, 3G)" is it possible i could just put the info for the data plan in there and it connect to the sprint data plan if that is possible..if it is can you tell me in detail the information u need and how to do it......THANKS

[Q] [Q/A] - 3G Mobile Hotspot and tethering

I know this thread is repeated here and there but I am posting here because I do not feel that any of those properly describe how to do it. I tried this trick off and on several times without success and finally just got it to work today using the steps below.
FYI - I have root access and have not tested this without root. Also, I am running SkyRaider's Sense ROM.
1. Dial ##778
1.A If dialing ##778 does not work (like me) then create a new contact whose phone number is ##778 and then call that contact.
2. Choose Edit Mode - the password is 000000 - six zero's.
3. Go to 'Security'
4. Choose S.IP DUN User name
5. Change the value from yourvzwnumber at dun dot vzw3g dot com to yourvzwnumber at vzw3g dot com
6. Press the menu button and select Commit Modifications.
7. Let the phone reboot itself.
8. One the phone has rebooted itself repeat steps 1 and 2.
9. Now that you are back in edit mode choose M.IP Default Profile
10. Change the value from yourvzwnumber at dun dot vzw3g dot com to yourvzwnumber at vzw3g dot com
11. Press the menu button and select Commit Modifications.
12. Let the phone reboot itself.
Now you should be able to use the 3G Mobile Hotspot.

[Q] evo4g on energy jan11 rom no data connection after sprint tech support

Hi folksi flashed energy jan 11 rom succesfully on first try then noticed no voicemail app or notification funtioning called sprint support they made me enter # codes ...still no voicemail and NOW no data connection(no 3g) ony wifi
please help me folks i wiped everything using recovery should i also format sd?

Most roms don't come with a voicemail app.
If you have no 3g, that's a separate problem. Try updating PRL and Profile, if that doesnt work, call sprint and have then reprovision the phone. It will basically re-activate it. Don't mention that you are rooted or running a custom rom.

I may be mistaken, but I've seen people here on xda mention that you should be unrooted to activate the phone. I would at least flash a ROM that allows EPST and updating of the profile. Again, I'm no authority.

I'm guessing that they made you do a hands-free provisioning. Let's try this.
Look up MiseryInMotion's Barebones, thread. Find the download link in the OP for the odex one and download. Don't extract or anything
When the download is finished, mount as MS again. Transfer to your phone.
Transfer done? Unmount and navigate to the Wipe menu.
Wipe everything except for SD card. Twice. Believe me. Do it every time you flash a ROM.
Navigate to "Flash zip from sdcard" and find the Barebones .zip. Select with power button.
You are now flashing your first custom ROM, congratulations!
Let it sit there until it finishes. Then get back to the main menu and "Reboot system now".
Let your phone sit for a couple minutes. Skip sign-in. Reboot.
First, go to Settings - System Updates - and update PRL.Once that finishes, reboot.
Go to Market and get MSL Reader. Open the app. If it asks for "Superuser Privileges" then accept. It will tell you a 6-digit code. This code is unique to your phone. Write it down, but you can always get it again.
Go to Phone (Dial ##3282#, Choose edit mode) and enter your MSL code
select Data Profile
Hit the menu button and choose restore.
Just sit there, your phone should reboot. If it doesn't, then hold the power button and reboot.
Your phone should do "Hands-Free Provision". Once it says your phone has been provisioned, hit "Okay".
Once it starts to check for PRL update, hit cancel.
Turn on 4G, give it time to turn on (it doesn't need to connect)
Go to Phone (Dial ##3282#, Choose edit mode) and enter your MSL code. Select Advanced, scroll down to RTSP Proxy Port and HTTP PD Proxy Port. Click on them, set them to 0 (zero).
Set RTSP Proxy Address and HTTP PD Proxy Address to 0.0.0.0
Go back to the main menu of EPST and select Wimax
Find EntryRX and click on it
Change value from -89 to -110. Hit "Okay"
Hit the menu button and "Commit Changes" or "Commit Modifications". Your phone will reboot.
Go to Settings - System Updates - and Update Profile.
Once it finishes, reboot

[Q] Anyone have 0/12 IMEI number but network semi work and EFS missing NV_data.bin

I installed the jedi mind trick JB6 rom a week ago and everything worked great up until a few days ago. Now my phone when connected to wifi can't access the play store, gmail and other apps. I can receive/make calls through wifi calling and texts just not internet data. As soon as i turn wifi off everything works normal. So I checked my Imei and it showing up as 0 / 12 . Anyone else experience this and is there a fix for it. I already tried restoring my EFS folder but the two needed files are not there and I never made a backup.

I have this phenomenon on my SGS2, and have had it such since January after flashing an Embryo ROM. I'm not sure how it happened, I used to think Embryo borked it but no other users reported anything similarly happening to them.
However, I have no issues with data or anything else problematic occurring as a result of the IMEI being 0'd. Everything works fine. I use Straight Talk, so I think IMEI blacklisting doesn't apply to me, but it may be a factor in your case, as ATT/T-Mobile are more stringent now about EFS tampering etc. because they now blacklist handsets.
QPST or somesuch, a Squidbox, or Riffboxing type of repairs may remedy the problem. Try using a different SIM for another network and verify it's not a carrier specific issue. Also, try going back to stock and doing an EFS restore via the Service Menu from stock Dialer. (*#*#197328640#*#*)
Also, to save any trouble; Odin will not help you, as the EFS partition is handled seperately unless you check the box to clear EFS...which will also not help you.

18. Now type your IMEI number infront of "IMEI" and click "Write IMEI".
19. Thats it.
Incase you dont know the IMEI of your device, just check the mobile box or it is written in a label inside the mobile below the battery. Hope this helps...

Thanks guys, the imei showing up as 0 wasnt the problem everything works now. it turned out to be the proxy settings i setup for ad blocker was blocking data when connected to wifi.

I am having a similar problem. When I try the above *#7284# or *#9090# codes I can't get into the menu's to change the settings. I get a error that says,"mobile network not available". My IMEI number is bad and I can't get on the network at all. Is there a way to make this work?

Just take a backup, hard reset your phone and again follow the steps. If it doesn't work, just try to update or change the ROM and try again. Hope this helps.

When i was on a custom rom the debug menu wouldn't show up , make sure you go back to stock rom.

Error 16 - Switch ***

How to fix "ERROR 16 - Switch ???" on gs3 flashed to boost mobile.
This is what I did. Hope it works for you
Might work in other cases.
Take battery out of flashed phone.
Connect Donor Phone
test donor phone and see if you can connect (make a test call, try to get onlne)
if not <contact boost mobile>
if it does, then connect it to pc and get PRL form it.
Load QPST, under Start Clients menu, select Service Programming.
Click Read from Phone and enter MSL (000000).
Then Save to file. This will save a .qcn and .rl0 file.
In QPST, under Start Clients menu, select RL Editor.
In RL Editor, load your .rl0 file. Go to File, Save As..., make sure type is *.prl and enter a file name. Save file.
Turn off Donor and remove battery
Connect Flashed Phone
What You Will Need
The DFS CDMA Tool
Your MSL number (Sprint) or SPC number (Verizon, this is usually "oooooo").
Obtaining your MSL/SPC number is as easy as calling up your carrier and asking for it. They will freely give it to you. Other options include using the MSL Finder app. If that does not work, you are probably on Jelly Bean, so you will need to make a quick call to your carrier.
Step 1: Enable Use of DFS CDMA Tool
The use of this tool requires a non-standard USB connection (i.e. Download Mode, or just DM).
Open the Dialer and type in ##DIAG# (##3424#).
Click on "Qualcomm USB Settings" and select "DM + Modem + ADB" then press "OK".
Plug your device into your PC and go to Device Manager.
Locate "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port" and remember the COM number (in this case, COM5).
Step 2: Load Device into DFS CDMA Tool
Open DFS CDMA Tool. If you are using the Demo version, there will be a small countdown and the app will launch.
In the upper left-hand corner, hit the "Ports" button and select the port you found in Device Manger.
Double-click the port, and double-click it on the bottom to load your device into the software.
Enter your MSL/SPC number where it says "SPC" and hit the blue arrow. You should see the log show "Device Unlocked".
Step 3: Write New PRL
Hit the programming tab, then the NAM sub tab.
On the right-side, load the PRL that you want, then hit "Write".
Disconnect your device, go back to Step 1 and put your device back to "MTP + ADB". Back out of the menu and reboot your device.
Confirming PRL Change
Go to Settings -> About Device -> Status. Scroll down to "PRL" and confirm that it has been changed.
Take battery out of flashed phone. Again
go to "boostmobile" and login/create your account.
goto update handset
enter info for another boost phone (not donor, not flashed phone)
turn on 2nd boost mobile phone
go through the steps and test it for connection (calls, internet)
turn off and take out battery.
goto update handset again
enter info for Donor Phone (not 2nd Boost phone, or Flashed Phone)
turn on Flashed phone
go through steps, reboot
nJoy.......
