Flashing to page plus failed - how to revert to stock DFS settings? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello XDA!
While I was trying to flash my Sprint S3 to PagePlus, I couldn't get the data to work so I gave up and want to change the carrier settings back to stock. I accidentally deleted the screenshots I took of the DFS Tools screen with stock settings displaying. How can I find the original settings to set to, or can a factory reset do the trick?
Thank you,
Kevin

Why don't you try taking it to a page plus store an having them flash it for you? I did it costs me $50 but it was worth it. Everything works including 3g data. Just trying to help.

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately, there is only one pageplus dealer within 40 miles of here, and they don't know how to get 3g on my phone

How in the name of android do they not know how to put 3g on it? Smh that sucks. Well only other thing I can suggest is for yu to ask qbking77 or use google. There is also a guide on the forums here as well. Good luck.

##sprtn# (##77786#) should revert all settings to sprint. Youll need your spc/msl code, I was able to get mine using msl reader app from the play store, just add to enter incorrect password in ##data# then read it again!

Search the tube for ps3evader.. $50 remote flash.. takes about 30 minutes..

[Guide] Sprint/Verizon Galaxy SIII Flash to Page Plus Cellular Tutorial [Video]

I No longer support this thread due to the lack of time I have lately. This video will show you how to get up and running on P+ with 1x data only.
This wil work for the Sprint, Verizon and US Cellular variant.
Yes I can get 3G but, the method is not allowed on this forum.
Please don't PM me asking how to get 3G as I will not reply.
Hit thanks if you watched this video please

Wow awesome Nevell. Thanks so much for this.
A few questions.
How different would it be to flash Straight Talk?
After flashing can I load ROMS like CyanogenMod and such without issue?
On the Sprint one yes but not on the VZW one. As far as flashing to ST you would need a donor phone. I won't go into details but that should be a start for you.
OP updated with new Verizon GS3 fully flashed with 3G youtube video demo.
I have been trying to flash verizon gs3 to sprint, and have talk and text but no data, I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have tried everything. Thanks for your videos and help is appreciated

Why not just trade your VZW GS3 for a Sprint GS3 on your local Craigslist?
I do have the sprint one, but I wanted the GSM capabilities of the Verizon one cause I travel over seas.

I can do 3G on the VZW 1 but I'm not going to discuss the method of doing it.
That's all I need to know if is doable and if it's stable steady 3G.

Build.Prop edit to Make Google Wallet Work

If you want to force the Google Play version of Google Wallet to work here is all you have to do.
Edit your /system/build.prop file and find the line that says ro.product.device and change the value from ls970 or whatever your phone's value says to say maguro. Reboot your phone and make sure to clear Google wallets data before opening. It should then grant you access.
Edit: It has come to my attention that not only does the cell your on need to be forced to cover this app but your cell network must already provide coverage for this service. Granted your cell network allows Google Wallet, you should have success with this method.

Unfortunately for me and my e971 this did not work. Glad to hear at least the LS970 users are getting some use out of it...
(I've tried editing build.prop and the MoDaCo Toolkit, nothing works. Oh well ).
Did you clear the app data and reboot? Vital steps

I did. I've tried before and couldn't get it working then either. It always just hangs on "Setting up Wallet, this may take up to 5 minutes". 15 minutes of waiting yields nothing.

Try it on WiFi. If you got to that screen you were successful. And yeah setup can take a while
Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 4
I think its probably need some special DRM-like keys.
In other words, wont work if the phone is not from sprint or at&t.
Something similar in korea, you cant use nfc payments unless you running stock rom.
Ahh very true. It only works on certain cell networks. But if you have the right cell network and wrong phone this will set you up regardless of ROM. One thing that custom ROMs can do to change coverage of this app like mention before this is to change the device name, seeing as that is what Google Wallet verifies.

Thank you for the information.
However Build.Prop file edits are not really development. And definitely not original development.
This edit has been talked about all over XDA device forums.

Not quite sure do you have sprint or att out there
Sent from my LG-LS970 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Neither. It's the Canadian model from Rogers, AKA E971.
EDIT: Of course, I'd be using Market Enabler, as it wouldn't work with my current Network provider. I just need (want, really) to know if the new versions of wallet will allow this, or (since the new Wallet can be installed on all phones) if I could just use Market Enabler to make this work now.
Nope only those networks support it
Sent from my LG-LS970 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hmm, Ok.
I was able to use Wallet with Market Enabler on my Galaxy Nexus, also on Rogers. Just for knowledge, what is the difference between the two phones that won't let it work?

I read recently its caused by a check for a secure element for wallet purchases on your network. If you have the SE on your SIM instead of built in to the phone there are methods of making that work i believe. If you want to try something else then change the model and network provider in that file also. Ive heard of it working.

HELP, no connection after flight from NC to TX

Hey all,
I could really use some advice. I live in North Carolina, my phone has worked just fine for over a year. Monday I went on a business trip to Dallas Texas and my phone won't connect to Voice or Data services at all. What can I do?
I tried turning airplane mode on and off, removing the battery, chatted with Sprint online, called the Support number. Sprint is NO help at all. They didn't outright tell me that my phone was broken, but practically did. I guess it just magically broke on the plane to Dallas??
Even in areas with good coverage, like my bars show good connection, I can't connect. I can hook to wifi just fine, but that is it. Sprint support told me that they can't even see where my phone has connected at all since I arrived in Texas.
Should I try flashing one of those PRLs from another thread? I'm not sure what to do. I assume that as is my phone will start working again when I get back to North Carolina though. I tried reflashing a "stock" rom and some of those "#" number calls, but none of them work since my phone isn't connected to any towers. Help!
Did u by chance try ##72786#? That's the hands free activation. Will turn ur phone off and should boot back up after a few seconds

That is what is so strange, I can dial that number, even from a stock rom, and my phone doesn't do anything, it just sits on "dialing" then makes the hang up noise after 15 or so seconds.
That's definitely weird! I'm from this area so I know it's not the water...lol. Have u taken to an actual sprint store?

Not yet, since I'm here on business I don't have much time to do that, but honestly I don't think they would be able to do much more than the support person over the phone did. I'd have to unroot it and all of that before bringing it in, the folks in the store would try those ## type calls, wipe my phone and reset it, then probably tell me my phone is broken and try to sell me another phone, especially since I am eligible for an upgrade.
I don't want to actually buy a new phone until I get back to NC since I still think my phone will start working once I am back there, which would be just as confusing.
This is the same phone I brought here to Texas last October and it worked fine, so I don't know what exactly the issue could be.

If you are still having this issue I would suggest you try an app called Network Signal Refresher. It basicly updates your prl and profile by connecting you to the nearest tower

Thanks, I gave this a try, but it doesn't look like it worked. Part of the issueI think even for PRL updates is that my phone won't connect to the towers. Like with a Stock Rom in the Sprint Zone you can get to that section where you can do a Profile update and all of that, it always fails with a connection error. I gave that error message to Sprint support but they couldn't do anything with it. I will keep trying it though now and then.

Is there a good updated guide for doing that? I did that on my EVO 4G, but never on the S3. I haven't looked yet but I will check into it this evening for sure.
They could be working on the towers in the area. When they did in my area, it showed I had bars but could not text or call. I would try flashing the 2 PRL, as it helped me get my phone working until they fixed it or in your case until you get Home. I can upload it if you need it.

[Q] Boost Native S3 - flash to Pageplus - help...

Hello to all.
I attempted to flash a Boost mobile native galaxy s3 running 4.1.2 to Pageplus last night. Got voice and text working fine, however, cannot get data up and running, even 1x.
Loaded Pageplus Prl, and tried to *228 to no avail. Also tried manually change the settings in the paid version of cdmaws, under the 'evdo' section.
The S3 thread was closed, so I thought I would post here, and see if anyone could point me in the right direction? If this is the wrong section, please advise, and I will be happy to post there.
I also read that there is a way to obtain 3g without using a donor, and I thought it may be similiar to sprint to boost flashing using wifi, but that did not work either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Be well.
Anyone???

the reason nobody is really willing to help is because its a drawn out process ive been flashing phones to pageplus and verizon for years and what happens is after its flashed if you dont pay your bill in a timely manner your data will stop working. and guess what the LAST PERSON TO WORK ON IT IS now MaRrIed to that dam phone meaning that all subsequent issues get blamed on the last person that touched it. i wont even do it for free anymore due to [a holes] acting/feeling entitled

unlock tmobil s3 problems

I have an s3 that i was selling to mother in law to use on consumer cellular. T mobile provided an unlock code that does not work. They are supposedly investigating this. I tried to pay an online unlocker for a code, I told them the code t mobile provided that did not work, They were unable to generate an unlock code ,
What is is going on. T mobile sim locks phones and then cant provoide correct unlock codes??
What other option do i have?
This seems like a bunch of BS on tmobile part.
Selling to MiL ? I'd give for free if I were you.
Seriously speaking, you can take the phone to a T-Mobile store for further investigation. If the code does not work, don't try it repeatedly. The phone will lockup for good.
If the code did not work, make sure the T-Mobile Rep has taken down your IMEI correctly. Make them repeat it to make sure its correct.
There are other ways to unlock. But in order to try them, I need to know what android version you have right now. Its listed in Settings > About.
Its running stock rooted 4.3 with stocm recovery and some bloat removed. Have verified t mo has correct imei. Have tried 2 old centennial wireless sims and an old at&t sim. No luck.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Since you are on 4.3, the other way to unlock is out of question. Please take the phone to a T-Mo Store after you get the new unlock code.

I just got done with TMO online chat and they said to make sure the WiFi is off before you do it.
I am going to try this when I get home.
Check out chainfires Region Lock Away app on the play store or here on xda. Its built for the note3 on 4.3 firmware, but ive seen claims it works on the S3 and others. I suggest reading the thread to be certain, but it may be a viable option for those running 4.3 rooted.
