I am actually from India! Using it on a indian service provider. About the guess yeah, I dont remember actually if i changed anything. I even flashed the phone to stock/custom rom. No use

Flashing stock ROM wont reset those settings. You will need to reset the activation on a stock ROM. I'm not sure of the code for that but its been in the treads a few times....
Which would be ##786#.....

Still no avail brother!

Is this device compatible with the 3g service your provider uses?

Yes it is. I have been using for quite a some time now.

Having the exact same issue. Not sure what caused it or how to fix it. I too am on stock rom

Have you contacted your cellular provider? If you changed some settings, most likely calling your provider to get the right settings will be your best course of action.

Alright,so over here in india we use nvitems (dump files) for evdo Else known as 3G. I tried everything but it doesnt seem to go back. Any way to make a phone go back TOTALLY to its 1st stage? When it came out when it was shipped? As in the whole parameters to be new. I tried flashing new parameters,prl, No avail. Just cannot see the 3g logo.

Any help?

We are probably going to need a little more info than that if you want help...

Agreed... ankurcshah you've given us very little to go on here. You have to remember that the ET4G your using is mainly a US/Sprint base device.
Have you rooted, installed a rom/moden... Help us out some so we can help you out.

As far as I know and someone else has already posted this... You can do a factory reset to bring the os back to a "out of box" state. But this in no way will effect, change or the dialer or radios. Those settings are set by the carriers.

Again, this is your original post. In it you clearly state that you "guess" you did the "##DATA# dialer code and" messed something with out my knowledge".
After rereading your original post again I'm thinking it really should have read this way...
"I went into ##DATA# and messed with some of the settings and didn't really know what I was changing." See the difference???
Those setting in "##DATA# or set by the carriers... They are there to tell the radios on your device how to communicate with and what frequency to use for the towers your cellular providers uses.
I'm going to assume that when you got your ET4G you had to contact your cellular provider to get it setup to use their service, right???
Questions:
1. If not how did you get it setup to see their towers???
2. Did they (provider) give you some kind of codes to enter in the ##DATA# settings???
3. If they did, do you still have them and have you tried that???
I've said this before... I really think you need to contact your provider and see if maybe they can re provision your radios.

Nope, I just needed the dump file for the 3g to work, 3g works on my dad's phone and it doesnt on mine. I use the same dump as his. Still? Wierd

I just flashed a prl

nope, I had set the msl to 000000

They are not aware of such a thing also.

The reset I mentioned is a "factory reset" ... But like I already posted... It will only delete all of your user data and reset settings like wifi, email passwords...
It won't reset the radios...
If you had already flashed these files to get your phone working when you got it, Don't you still have them???

[Q] Has my phone been flashed for another provider? Has Sprint stumped!

I picked up an E4GT a couple weeks ago, had been just playing around with it, flashing a couple ROMs and such, so I decided to replace the phone I currently have on my plan (EVO 3D) with the E4GT. So I proceeded to installing a stock FH13 ROM on the phone and I unrooted it (just to be sure nothing would be getting in the way of activation). Now I've called to try and activate it twice (assuming the first time I called the person didn't know what he was talking about) and each time the codes that the Sprint representative gives me do not work.
The first code he gave me was ##725465#, and said to hit edit when I was taken to the next menu, however, this code did nothing for me.
Then he asked me to enter ##72786#, then to change the MSL, however, the codes he gave me to change the MSL continuously gave me the error "Invalid Lock Code"
Both times the person let me know that the phone had been "tampered" with and that in its current state, it could not be activated.
SO......what did I do wrong?? Do I need to be on a stock GB ROM?? I wouldn't think so, but am rather confused, as I'm sure there is a logical explanation for my issue. Or is it the phone? Has it been flashed for another carrier (Cricket, Boost)? I don't know, so I turn to y'all....gimme your input!

so you never had the phone activated?

Why not Odin Stock EL29 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101.
This will take you to a stock (although rooted, but will not make a difference for OTA updates because of the stock kernel and other code)
Then try what they are asking.

Nope, I've never activated this phone myself.
Unless anyone has any other ideas, I'll probably trying the stock EL29 and see if that works

Did you buy it used?

What ROM are you actually running? The dialer codes don't work on the CM or AOSP roms, at least not normally.
You need to be on a Touchwiz based ROM.

@ravaged: Yes, I bought it used.
@DaMan: I tried to activate it online, went through the process, it wouldn't take, and then was told to call technical support
@Dalmus: I am on a TouchWiz ROM, stock FH13

Sounds like someone may have flashed it to boost or USC. Therefore the esn won't match because the original is no longer there. You may want to check out some of the guides for flashing your phone to another carrier. I've never done it but maybe you can reverse the steps. You may need a sacrificial phone with a good esn to do it. Someone on one of those threads may be able to assist you more.

I went ahead and put in on the stock EL29 ROM, and the codes still don't work.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking might be the case....

So I've gone about google searching for flashing back to Sprint, most suggestions start with flashing a Sprint PRL and that seems to be the secret to everything....but when I enter the RTN service menu, I've found this phone already has a Sprint PRL. The MSL is 000000 which seems to mean that it was indeed flashed to another carrier, but I can't figure out how to get the original MSL back.

Not completely sure, but I think that number is under the battery with the serial number.

Nah....the MSL is a 6 digit number which I believe for this phone should be 725465, although I'm not exactly sure, but that's the number the Sprint representative gave me to enter originally....I dunno.....
I'm figuring there has to be a way to revert the MSL back to its original....just can't figure out how.....

Where did you buy it from?

CDMA Workshop is used to do just that along with some other stuff. just google it and rewrite the orig MSL.
Also since it is 000000 someone changed it via CDMAWS sprint phones do not have orig msl as 000000.
If the DEC under the battery (orig) and in the MEID phone info (programed) dont match then the orig DEC esn could of been a bad esn (blacklisted) or it has been flashed to another carrier....boost..etc with the donor ESN.

What does terminal emulator say when you try getting your MSL that way?

Please pardon me if this sounds dumb, but I am a newbie... I too have a Sprint Note 2. It used to be flashed to boost mobile. Now it's been flashed back to stock sprint ROM using file links and instructions right here in these forums. From what I gather, you want to go back to sprint? It's really simple. You do have the original MEID & Id ETC. right? Should be behind the battery when you remove it. I have successfully got my phone back to STOCK Sprint. It's really easy to do using TWRP and stock Sprint ROM files and DFS (there are others)...But these were the ones (programs) I used.. Read and read some more. Be patient (easier said than done..lol) you'll get it...It CAN be done...

I hope so. lol. The goofball that had it before me flashed it to ntelos and left it on the account not used, but still attached. Actually made it difficult to sell as a ntelos phone, but I have some time today to play around with it today. I was told by sprint it needs a flash back to sprint. Sad part I have no fricken clue who flashed it to begin with it that way

Well first check the sticker underneath the battery. Have you verified it can be brought back tp sprint? If its ok on sprints end using the numbers on the back then you can move further. Let us know so we can direct you.

Everything is correct. It can be activated on sprint. Ive already checked that multiple times

Ok well now you need to write the info from the sticker to the phone. You can use cdma workshop or dfs. Either program will work. You can also look at guides made for boost mobile. You can follow the guide. Instead of a donor phone you use the sticker info. Instead of changing your mmsc to boost you would change it to sprints. Either way get your msl first just in case. Use msl reader from the playstore. If it cannot read it push home. Then go to your dialer and push in ##3282# it will ahow a screen saying view or edit. Push edit. Enter a random 6 digit code. It doesnt matter what it is. It will give an error. Push home and hold it until recent tasks come up. Go to msl reader again and read the code again. It should give it to you this time.

Msl is "000000" I tried some today with no luck. Everything failed in odin. Now i'm searching again, because its either odin mode or "firmware encountered a issue. Recovery from kies and try again. But it doesnt connect to kies. Actually wount connect even before I got started.

Got the phone back on. Still on Ntelos, so now I'm back to searching on how to remove this carriers flash. Nothing I've tried has worked

Hey guys I've got a similar problem. I got a note 2 and I'm wanting to flash it to boost but I haven't been able to read the HA/AAA keys. I did a reset ##786# to remove the old sprint account and downgraded to the LJC radio but I still get the access denied error for Nv_read on 466 and 1192. Also if I call 611 I get Ntelos wireless customer service and I'm kinda lost on what to do.

I didnt feed anyone lies. I have seen it done before. On my last phone. The epic touch 4g. If it doesnt work on this phone then thats too bad. I have never needed to flash a phone to another carrier.

In all fairness I have flashed a E4GT to an MVNO and back.
Google Chris41g's Epic to Boost steps. Follow the steps in there to change back your MEID only.
Flash a stock rooted restore - in this case I'll suggest MC2 rooted restore. This sets proper CSC info.
Turn phone on and ##72786#. Let HFA go through its steps.
LTE I can't say anything on since E4GT didn't have it.
The reason I did this way is because HFA will pull the HA/AAA keys and set the profile back on its own.
You only have to do it manually when flashing to MVNO because you can't use HFA.
Sorry but that's all the details I can mention on this thread - PM with any additional questions.

[Q] Help with Verizon SCH-I535 Phone to use on T-mobile

Hey everyone and thanks for taking the time to read this,
So the story goes as so: After doing some research couple months ago about the capability of the Verizon Galaxy S3 to work on T-mobile, i purchased it, and got it to successfully work on T-mobile(texts, calls, wi-fi). The problem is, i just recently upgraded to include a data plan, and i cannot access the internet, despite taking my phone to my cell phone dealer and contacting T-mobile.T-mobile even sent me a guide to do a mastery reset to factory in hopes to solve this problem, only to tell me afterwards that the phone version SCH-I535 is a "verizon locked-software" and i won't be able to set up an APN to work on the T-mobile network. This was all due to the fact that i was not able to set up a APN for T-mobile, and every time i tried to access it through setting, it brought me to a blank black page with the only option of "Reset to Default". After reading other forums and talking with some people, many have suggested i take this issue to XDA to find a solution.
So, here i am.....Does anyone know if it is possible for me to break/root/ or whatever it is called so i can successfully access the t-mobile network on my phone? Preferably an easier guide since i am sort of a newbie at this sort of stuff.
Thanks again for reading.

Before your Contract change, you were able to receive and make calls successfully with T-Mo Sim right ? Even now you can make calls too correct ? The reason I am asking this is to be able to check if you are really unlocked off of VZW. If you are not unlocked, then that would be the first step.
You are right, the APNs do drive Data Connection. If the stock firmware does not allow you to change APNs then you will have to root. Please post a screen of your Settings > About phone that shows your Rom Version, Baseband and Kernel.

Hey Perseus, thanks a lot for taking the time to reply. I bought the phone in the summer off someone who had verizon. I have always had T-mobile, and considering this phone is GSM, i decided to buy it because it would probably work for T-mobile. I had the phone unlocked, and i am currently using it to make calls, texts, and even use wi-fi with no problem. The only problem at this time is that i recently added a data plan which i cannot currently use. Here is a screen shot of what you have requested.
Thanks again

First try
Settings > More > Mobile Networks > Preferred Network Type.See what it is set to. Change it to LTE/GSM/WCDMA if needed. See the other option System Select as well.
Also separately try the following.
Hit ##DATA# in the Dialer. In the subsequent Menu choose EDIT > OTHERS > LTE APN
If all fails, please Root the phone and then try. The way you go about is
1. Flash a Custom Recovery via Odin. Make sure the version of Custom recovery is for your model D2VZW not D2TMO.
2. Flash a SuperSU zip file via Recovery and then hit fix permissions in the recovery.
Try the APN Settings after that. IF you can actually access them, then set them according to this link.
If all the above fails, I'd suggest a custom Rom for d2VZW.

Ok, so i tried to changed it to LTE and i got no service at all, so i switched it back to Global. I also tried the dialer thing several times, and got the " connection problem or invalid MMI code"
So i guess i am going to have to root the phone? Does anyone know a good video tutorial or written tutorial on how to safely do this? Also, what exactly is rooting?

You have to enable the mmi codes to use them. Anyway as stated above your reply you will never get 3g or 4g just edge (seen it personally) which is pretty darn slow.. Not worth it if you ask me and be paying for data.. If you still want to root it and keep trying to add sons check the Verizon forums.. They could probably help you a lot more than on this side of the forums

Guys, he is not getting ANY data signal at all. His problem isn't getting the specific icon but being not able to change APNs.
@HackThisThing, you are better off following up on Verizon Device forum. That forum does have a video tutorial for Rooting. Here's forum link.
I don't think you will be able to change APNs without rooting. I checked with a buddy of mine who has the same device as you.
Here's a good answer to What is Rooting ?

Even if you CAN fix it, why bother if you can only get 2G? I'd sell it or trade it for a phone that's more compatible with T-Mobile 's network instead of paying for data and only getting dial-up speeds. I get that solving problems is fun, but OP do you want to live with only 2G?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk

I don't agree with that assessment. Just like the T999L phone, this device will work on LTE Bands just fine. OP just needs to wait for LTE to be rolled out in their area. There's a coverage map and roll out schedule on T-Mo website and the T-Mo News blog.

It's worth a look, but could still leave them with patchy coverage. If it's going to be a while, why wait when it's not hard to just trade the phone? I guess I don't see a reason why hold out on getting a Verizon phone to work when you could just get one that works now with little to no monetary loss. It's just a Verizon S3, not really something worth "waiting" for when they could get the same thing but more functional on their network of choice.
They made an honest mistake and waiting might give them "good enough" service - but other than that they're stuck with dial up speed only and risk bricking a phone they could just trade or sell now.
Maybe I'm just impatient and risk averse.

Sprint Galaxy Note 2 SPH-L900 (how do I reinstall Sprint PRLs&get rid of Page Plus)
I bought a Sprint Galaxy Note 2 SPH-L900 not too long ago on Craigslist. Guy told me it worked with Sprint but he apparently flashed it to something that used Verizon PRLs (from what i've been told probably Page Plus). I recently tried to use Ringplus/Sprint with this phone but couldn't use it due to the PRL problem. When I try to make a call a robo Verizon operator pops up and I can't make calls. Of course, I can't get in contact with the guy that sold me the phone so im hoping you guys can help me get it to work with Sprint.
The MSL number has been changed to all zeros. And the dial code ##72786# shows "SCRTN" at the very top then just restarts my phone.
So I rooted the phone using this simple process. [SPH-L900] CF-Auto-Root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956180
Then I downloaded SuperSU. Then tried DFS to change my MSL number back to the original number. But it didn't work. I tried PRL Helper, but that too did not work. Won't let me reset the PRL. So I unrooted my phone (or so I thought) and reset the phone to factory to see if that would work, and it did not. So I reinstalled the CF-Auto-Root and now even SuperSU won't work. Im new to all this rooting stuff. THIS IS FRUSTRATING!
My phone is running stock rom. Android version 4.4.2 Baseband version L900VPUCOH3. Build number KOT49H.L900VPUCOH3.

I'm not sure of all the prl changes and how all that works. That said I would use odin to revert to a stock unrooted ROM and try to reactivate sprint via settings prl updates ect.

Thanks for the help. I followed the instructions in the link and it didn't help at all. I still get a Verizon operator when I try to make calls and when I enter in try the carrier reset dial code ##72786# ,it shows "SCRTN" at the very top then just restarts my phone. There has got to be a way to fix this...

Sounds like you need to Google how to flash your phone to whatever carrier you are wanting to get on. I myself am on boost mobile.

Did you call sprint and complain I had it happen one time and I sat on the phone and got transferred three times and then something they did had me back to normal.

Thanks. But thats what i've been doing. Im trying to get my phone to work with Ringplus(they use Sprint towers). I've been using cdma workshop to try resolve the issue but nothing has been working. I know that I need to revert my phone back to Sprint to be able to use Ringplus. Info on how to go from Page Plus to Sprint is very limited.

Thanks for responding. This is actually one of the first things I did and I also kept getting transferred to different people. What specifically did you ask the Sprint people for them to do what they did?

I had to buy a cheap donor phone to clone the settings and such over so i could use mine on boost. Just fyi

How would I clone another phone? And in order to do this right, would I have to clone another SPH-L900?

Sorry for the late response and thanks for the reply but I was trying to go to RingPlus not PagePlus.

Problem Solved!
Forgot to update. I fixed this problem.
How I FIXED Ringplus PRL problem (flashing to stock rom may or may not be necessary)
I fixed the problem by rooting my Galaxy Note 2 SPH-L900 with odin here.
[SPH-L900] CF-Auto-Root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956180
The reverted to 4.2 Kit Kat stock rom using "ALL_SPT_L900VPUCNE2_L900SPTCNE2_1561791_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5" file.
https://www.kingoapp.com/root-tutorials/how-to-flash-samsung-stock-rom-via-odin.htm
Then I downloaded the "25xxx = residential acct - lte/800smr" PRL files from
http://*******************eestat.ir/?index=forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880781 (Add '?http://?xda-d?evelopers.freestat' to the beginning of link without the '?' marks.)
and extracting the "25XXX_LEG" folder then using the "25016.prl" file to desktop then using CDMA Workshop 2.7 to change the prl to the 25016 prl file.
Then I used trial version of DFS 16.2.21.0 to change my HEX and DEC and esn numbers to match what was on originally on the phone (I found this out through either Ringplus or going into phone dial code). It was a little difficult to change them because DFS kept saying it was skipping the request but after a little while even though it said it didn't change anything it did change it back to the original. That allowed my phone to be read by Ringplus and I was able to get the phone activated and PRLs updated automatically.
