So I had my usb charging port detach from the board on my phone. I got a new one, (well used but new to me) and it was flashed to VERIZON but unrooted, bootloader locked, and s-on. On my computer at home i couldn't get the phone to communicate with the computer using windows 7 64 bit. I had flashed and rooted the old phone so I'm not exsactly new to this. For some weird reason I could not get the NEW phone to communicate with the computer with the same drivers from my old phone. I went to a different computer and the drivers loaded fine. however upon flashing the configuration file from my old phone, (a configuration file obtained off this forum, the qpst cricket configuration file) to the new phone using QPST the phone did not recive ANY service (cricket or verizon). I have no bars at all. upon reading the phone through QPST all the settings took to the phone but theres no service or 3g. After several attempts to load the configuration file to the phone at one point i had 2 bars light up briefly indicating that there was service then disappear and cant get service.
Would using linux to flash the phone help? I couldn't find anything on google or the search bar on here on how to use linux to flash the phone to cricket.
Only possible thing I can think of on why I cant get any service to this phone is i have yet to deactivate the old phone. is it possible cricket is blocking any service to this phone because the MIN is already registered to my old phone?
I know this post is kind of confusing so please let me know if theres any way I can clairify it.
Well using qpst on linux is not very easy. Windows is your best bet. Also to get full service cricket must change your service to your new phones esn. Or you have to clone the esn which xda does not allow us to talk about on their fourm due to legal reasons.
Now if you have everything set correctly you should be able to get data to work but sms, mms, and cell service is all linked to esn. If you are getting now bars I am willing to bet your prl needs to be changed.
I have flashed several Og evos and 3d evos. Along with doing the unmentionable (cloning). Check your messages I will send you a pm with some information on flashing to cricket.

I need to rephrase my statment. The problem isn't not getting service to the phone the problem is not getting ANY SIGNAL at all. and im using the qpst settings for cricket off this forum. But i may have found out the problem. I looks like the phone may have been updated, i just saw some options on the phone my old one did not have. Sprint optimizer plus the roaming settings were set to sprint only. BTW cricket doesn't care if a phones ESN is clean or not.
which rom are you using? did you change the prl when you flashed over to cricket? did you change the msl code? you actually dont need a computer at all to flash the phone. on any of the stock rooted roms yo ucan change the needed settings right from the phone itself using the dialer codes. ##data# #, #7786#, ##000000#, etc etc.

Stock Rom.
Yes I did can't remember off the top of my head which prl.
Not sure what the msl code is, if its the same as the MIN that I called cricket for I used the same one as my old phone, should that be different with different phones? (min number)
I did not know that about flashing using only the phone. I'm not sure what is search for, to find that tutorial so if you'd be so kind to link me to one or write a quick step by step for that is be super grateful as Windows 7 (64bit) decided to not have the drivers work anymore from when I flashed my old phone. I've read everything on installing the drivers and tried many different versions of drivers including ones off here. I've tried reinstalling Windows multipul times. I tried using Linux (mint) and virtual machine (xp) but can't get Linux to communicate with the phone. And after using a friends computer and getting the drivers working with win 7 I loaded my old config file for qpst, the config file for qpst for cricket off here, and tweaking different settings, no signal and no 3g.
I've been working on this for several days and am getting tired of having a palm computer that only works on WiFi, so as said, a link for flashing using the phone only or you taking time to write one up, (it doesn't have to be pretty) would have me owing you BIG TIME.
Something else I've noticed on my, "new" used phone is that it runs significantly slower than my old one did. Hitting home key with no widgets running can cause the phone to take a good 5 seconds to load. Hitting the app drawer can take also a good 5 seconds to load all the apps.
BTW ##7786# didn't seem to do anything but I think I edited ##000000# correctly putting my MIN in both fields....unless there's supposed to be a 1 in the begining. Not sure what the data settings are supposed to be.

yeah sorry that code is supposed to be ##786#
some of the other codes you might want o use to confirm that your settings are correct are
##786# - EPST - Status Menu
##3282# - EPST - Data Programming Menu (User Name, Advanced, Restore, Enable HFA, DSA Server, MMSC URL)
##3424# - Diagnostic - Connect to phone in diag mode (im sure you already know that one)
##72786# - changes DSA back to Factory
*#*#4636#*#* - Phone Information - "Phone information, Battery information, Battery history, Useage statistics, Wifi information"
thats all i can remember at the moment.

*#*#4636#*#* if this can be edited this might be able to be fixed in this menu however upon dialing this the number cleared like it was about to do something but it didn't do anything. was this the correct code?
The code is correct.
Now here is a very handy code but it does not work with every rom. ##775# it allows you to change prls. You will need to know the msl code and if you are on a rooted rom you can use msl reader from the market. You will also need to download cricket prls and put them on your SDcard.

Hello all I just have a quick question
I have htc evo w/ cm7 on it now with no service - I am thinking about taking the phone to revol to get service with them on it- they say they have to flash it.
So my question is once they do flash it is there anyway i can get the provider programming data out of it with like bitpm/qpst/cdma workshop and edit it?
also if i make a nandroid backup before i give it to revol does that also back up the provider settings?
I'm on linux and I think the only thing available to me is bitpim but I could use a windows pc somewhere i guess.
If this is an easy question please tell me what I should be googling for, I am pretty proficient in working on these things and use to be able to do something like this a long time ago before android with hex edits and programming menus /bitpim/qpst/cdma workshop Im just not sure where to go on android yet
Much appreciated!

I flashed my evo using qpst/cdma workshop, works great and nandroid does not backup up your provider setting. I have formatted, erased did all to to the phone and the settings are always the same. After your phone had been detected by qpst, go to "START CLIENTS" and choose software download under the drop down menu and go to the backup tab and do a backup. If u make any mistakes while using qpst, U can always go back and restore the original settings.
just wanna let everyone know that i have fully flashed the CDMA HTC Desire to cricket with everything working, sending/recieving mms, and all apps access internet fine, using tokens flash, and conaps edited mms apk.
i have not seen ANY posts ANYWHERE that said if this phone was even able to be flashed, so i figured i would let everyone know it is, also i am running the latest cyanogenMod rom
This great news! I was considering buying a HTC Desire and flashing over to cricket since I'm able to get it for a good price.
Can you explain how you flashed it?? and what carrier was under the HTC desire?
pm'd you, if i didnt put it clear enough(i didnt go to much into detail cause i figure you know how to flash roms/rooting) i will break it down alittle more if needed. and the phone originally was nex-techwireless.
I just bought a used Desire from eBay with the intention of flashing it to Cricket. Could you PM me the instructions as well? It would be most appreciated.

Well I managed to root and flash a new rom, but I'm still having trouble to how to flash it over to cricket.
you must have a sense rom flashed in order for the diag mode to work. if you already flashed another rom flash one of these as a temp, and once the settings have been made you are free to flash another rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992802
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947481
first root the device with unrevoked, once its rooted download qpst(i use build 366)
now after thats download and installed you need to download the htc diag drivers and put your phone into diag mode(its either ##diag, ##diag#,##diag*... it starts with 2 # followed by diag just not sure of the last symbol) once its in diag mode plug it in and the computer will instal drivers, wait for that to finish then go to device manager and manually update the htc drivers using the download htc diag drivers. after that is all done you must now open qpst configuration and click ports, then click add new port and add anything you see about your phone. now once thats done you need to click start clients and select service programming. and set all settings like in these pics http://s798.photobucket.com/albums/yy266/darkmage1991/ and dont forget to write a cricket prl i suggest this one http://www.4shared.com/file/we3VLGo_/42900.html (its a cricket sprint hybrid), once those are set push write to phone.
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=bravoc get the newest cyanogenmod build (7.0.3 atm) dont flash it until you get the qpst settings set in a sense rom. now download the cricket v10 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7261108&postcount=1 and flash it.
now download apn backup & restore, exfile explorer, and autostart off the market using wifi.
open your voice dialer and say "open proxy settings" once thats opened type in "wap.mycricket.com" and "8080" for the port #
now open apn back & restore and restore these apn's http://www.4shared.com/document/h5A_Izso/apns.html
Now we get to the part where we get MMS working, do this stuff you must open exfile explorer and make sure you mount as rewritable
Delete the mms.apk located in system/app
Drop the modifed mms.apk into system/app
Delete the telephony.db file located in data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases
Drop the modified telephony.db in data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases (Be sure to rename the telephony.db file you downloaded back to telephony.db before dropping it back into data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases)
get the modifed mms and telephony here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968582
ok i think i got everything, if something is not working let me know i may have missed a step. and remember to thank all the people who created all those files for there hard work.
i know it seems like a lot of work but it really isnt, i redo my flash about every 5-10 days cause i cant decide what roms i like lol, and it only takes about a min to get it flashed again but you do not have to redo the qpst part only the downloading of autostart, ex, apn etc, and getting mms going
if you guys are like me and flash alot of roms, you will find some dont let mms to work, and other dont alow internet for apps to work(but internet for the stock browser will, this is due to iptables some dont support it) its just trial and error =P
and i suggest going over to 2fast4u.com and check out his AWESOME cdma roms for the desire his work is awesome and so far all his roms work fully on cricket
I have success of getting my 3G working .
However, i can't make calls lol.
And to add, The mms fix link is broken when i try to download: telephony.db.zip. can u post a different link for it?
Do you have to activate it to recieve calls or something?
(edit): i cant extract telephony.db.zip. Do i take the whole file and drop it? or do i extract it?
no dont extract it rename it to telephony.db (remove .zip)
My wish came true!!
Goood News, it works!!
I can recieve calls and text and web(even thought its kinda slow at the moment).
Everything is correct from the tutorial, its just i had to call cricket to register the HTC desire under my cricket account. Ugh... It was a long process but i got it .
No activation, it worked right after they register my MEID thiny from the back of my phone .
Sooo yeah, how can I speed up my 3G? Its slower than my Huawei ascend's 3G. :/
I still cant get MMS working -_-.
o wait, its cause your ascend was on the "android" plan paying 55 a month but flashed phones are only alowed to be on the 45 a month plan, and that plan requires the use of the proxy (wap.mycricket.com) and the proxy has a speed limit on it unlike the android plan.
and if someone actually let you stay on the 55 a month with the flashed phone, then that means internet shouldnt be working at all due to you installing autostart, and setting the proxy settings. something you can try is open your voice dialer and say "open proxy settings" and erase the info and see if the internet even works, if it works what uninstall autostart.
and mms requires the modified mms app, telephony.db, and the apn's to be set using apn backup and restore, if you did do all that redo it. use exfile explorer and go into /system/app and delete the mms.apk and paste the modified one in there, after that click and hold on it and go down to permissions and set it like this(the x's put a checkmark in leave the o's empty)
xxo (user)
xoo (group)
xoo (other
now do the same with the telephony.db, then open apn backup&restore and delete apn's then click restore and use the apn file linked.
Need Help
Hi guys, sorry to interrupt.
I've been on the net for quite some time now searching for a solution to my HTC Desire problem but this is the first time I come across people who seem to know what they're talking about!!
My HTC Desire was working fine for almost 5 months ( I bought it from a close friend who brought it from Romania). the phone is already rooted or flashed or what ever you call that, I get a Joker holding a card on which is written S-OFF and around the Joker is Written "Why so serious" when I turn on my phone (if that helps you know what ROM or Root the phone is equipped with...)
The thing is few weekes ago, the phone began turning off by itself, just like that and I had troubles rebooting it ( sometime it just keeps on rebooting all over again uncessefully, so i had to get the battery out, wait few minutes before hitting the power button again). the Camera and the Camcorder stopped working suddenly and the phone starts rebooting every 10 minutes max.
I tried to root it again with unreviked 3, it was working pretty fine until the program tried to rebbot my phone and the Mothef....r wouldn't reboot (original problem) so communication was lost and rebbot was uncessfull.
I installed the latest version of HTC sync from HTC web site, but it wouldn't detect my phone !!!!
So now, I wanna flash the existing ROM with THE ORIGINAL one, the HTC official one as if I just bought the phone from a store. Is it the Solution for my problem?? and if it is can you please explain to me what to do exactely in the process ( if you can explain the terms you use "cricket" "build 366"...)
I know it's a lot to ask but I would be greatfull if you could help.
Thanks.
Ill try it out. I was using my stock 2.2 froyo with sense instead of the cyanmod since i like the interface better. I was sending text through the sense rom but cant send any mms apparently.
Another problem that i came across cyanmod's latest rom is that it has no market place -_-'.
No luck :/.
Is there a rom where I can have working MMS? lol
As for the telephony file. I just realize I had to create all those directories for me to put the file in, could that be part of the reason why?
i believe i had to create it also the file goes in this directory /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db , as for working mms rom, cyanogen 7.0.3 works fine, i think you have something not set or wrong.
and for the other guy i would reroot and flash a cyanogenmod rom and see how it is. and make sure you choose the correct rom(gsm is for desire's with a sim card, cdma is for desires without a sim)
Thanks for the guide, while I won't be using it myself, I'm sure someone will. I'm trying to make a CDMA Guide thread so I might use it and link to it.
you dont need worry bout it , this guide is only for people that are wanting to flash the phone carrier to cricket from uscc or another carrier. so not much people need this info, and the people that do need it can find it with the search button like the last people have done.
USC Revert, HBOOT 1.06, and Carrier Text on Lock Screen
DM, thanks for all your work on this. Would you happen to have a .qpst settings file for US Cellular should someone decide to revert it back? Or perhaps a .qpst settings file for Cricket that just needs the DN changed where appropriate as indicated in your screenshots? That would be a great addition to this thread.
Second, I would like to comment here on how rooting via unrevoked did no work for me due to my phone having HBOOT 1.06. I had register for the beta for this program: revolutionary.io
That unlocked the bootloader for me an installed CW Recovery.
Third, I have been trying to get rid of the US Cellular on the lockscreen in CM 7.1 with no luck. Any suggestions? Carrier Name app: fail. CCName: has become deprecated. SQLite edit: custom_lock... record not in secure table as indicated on this thread: forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/22493-bring-back-settings-location-security-show-custom-message
Finally, I would like to readdress the possibility of a phone reprogrammed for cricket not using the proxy. Has anyone tried this recently?
I think changing the value in build.prop is all.
Need help getting 3G data working
Okay, I was flashing this phone for my father-in-law for a Christmas gift, so I was finally able to get the ESN updated with Cricket to activate the phone. Phone calls work, SMS works, but 3G does not and neither does MMS.
3G is the only service that I am concerned with fixing at the moment, so I was wondering if anyone has some input on how I can troubleshoot the problem. I noticed that the Cricket guy put him on the $55 Android plan; is this part of the problem? Do I just need to not use Autostart and remove the proxy? Do I need different APN's than those provided?
Does anyone happen to know the command to enter DIAG mode? So that I can get a com port to enter my settings using QPST or CDMA Workshop.

I looked at the store and couldn't find a quick way to do it. No phoneutil.
Anyways just purchased one, so I'll keep looking.
im still trying too, its not easy to do like most phones would be
*#*#4636#*#* pulls up testing mode if thats what you're looking for.
that doesnt help us any plus all lte phones have that, that's a given
Played around with USB tethering and thought it might bring up a modem or com port. No luck there.

My gn froze today. Before I pulled the battery I wanted to try ad reboot. When I plugged it into my PC it started loading drivers its never installed before. One driver was for a modem (not the one for USB tether). There were 2 more drivers trying to load, but I pulled the battery and don't remember their description.
If my phone freezes again I will get more details.

Theoretically, but it does not work/stick.
Edit: It didn't for me anyway.
So has anyone had any luck yet? I just got this phone and was hoping to flash it to metro but I cant get it into DIAG. I was thinking that maybe we could put phoneutils back into the system through a rom or something like that?
VIA chipset... Not Qualcomm. You'd have to use diff. software than QPST / CDMA WS as well.
Hi I am not sure about the VZW galaxy nexus Biyi definitely got into diag mode on the sprint galaxy nexus via *#*#3424#*#*, I'm the past though with Samsung devices VZW and sprint differ. The main problem I had was that once plugged into a USB port there are no appropriate VIA diag drivers.
Drivers are here: http://www.mydroidfiles.com/downloads/TBH/SamsungFlashingUtility.7z
I "restored" my VZW GNex to the sprint build with the posted CWM stock sprint files and was able to access this menu as well as *#*#3282#*#* & *#*#000000#*#* (000000 is vzw msl). I was able to load the modem drivers but I do not see a Diag device looking for drivers.
Using the SamsungPSTLite app in the above archive I was able to "see" some QPST style data but it does not look editable.
VPST is used by others to edit via chipsets. I do not have a copy of this though so am still on the hunt. Wanted to pass along what I have found so far.

Well I poked around and found a few things with the tool, but I made the mistake and hit a write by accident and looks to have corrupted my nvram. My MEID is now blank as well as all data in settings -> about. Sadly I can no longer use the *# codes above to get back into a mode (corrupt nv??) that I can restore what I had earlier backed up So heed this as a warning and if you have any ideas to correct this please let me know. My device works fine outside of the above and no connection to a carrier..
I ODIN'ed to factory and retraced my above steps.. ultimatley flashing CWM back to the same sprint software I had backed up but still no hidden menu commnads *# other than: *#06# shows no MEID and *#*#4636#*#* pulls up its usual as it did on the default vzw build).
Anyone know how to force a dialup modem connection other that the *#diag command? or a tool to force the *# commands? Or better yet another way to restore default nv settings?
-saridnour
Did you try *#*#33284#*#* ? You need your MSL though.
my friend has been BUGGING me for days to finish flashing his Sprint SPH-D710/E4GT that was on 4.1.2 over to MetroPOS...er...PCS.
ive been flashing for quite a while now and am proficient in using QPST and flashing ROMS and getting into DIAG mode and setting PRLs and all that jazz. but every tutorial i've looked at has the exact same instructions, word for word, and the settings don't seem to be sticking properly.

those are the 2 most common when searching google. the second one mentions using the HTC Incredible guide to get the Web, then goes on about "Assuming you already have call and text and web now" uh, doesnt this say FULL FLASH?
but i can't get call and text. web and MMS isn't an issue for him right now.
so i need a little help getting the talk and text working.
when i dial 611 it says enter my 10 digit phone number but cannot connect. when i dial *228 it goes to Verizon Wireless Programming. i cant get ##7764726 to pop up. the New_SenZation2.3 links are down and any other rom ive tried using has the same ##PROGRAM problem. it also doesn't let me program it properly from the handset ##000000# menu. the Service Programming menu doesn't show the proper MIN or MSID that i programmed with QPST, but when i click on it to edit...it does? click SAVE and it shows the old one again. also, DIAG mode isn't ##8778# like the tutorials suggest. its ##3424#.
"*If wanted flash the EL26 modem"
well, DO i want to flash the E26 modem? then it gives these options below but where are they from?
and i have flashed the proper PRL, unless there is an update one.
i apologize if my post is a little confusing. just woke up after passing out trying to flash this damn thing over.
if there are any FULL tutorials on flashing his device, not just getting web or MMS working, please point me in the right direction. if helped out, ill write a proper flashing guide too. THANK YOU
Hi, i just bought a Tab 3 from sprint and i was wondering how to flash it to another carrier, i understand the first thing i have to do is to put it into DIAG MODE but as you well know it does not have a dialer so i downloaded anycut and added the PhoneUtil Shortchut on my home but set it to Modem but my pc just recognize the Samsung Mobile USB Modem and i can't do anything on this port, the one i need is Samsung Mobile USB Serial Port in order to get connection with the tab for flashing.
Does anyone here have flashed this model to another carrier?
The model of my Tab 3 is SM-T217S.

Hi, i just bought a Tab 3 from sprint and i was wondering how to flash it to another carrier, i understand the first thing i have to do is to put it into DIAG MODE but as you well know it does not have a dialer so i downloaded anycut and added the PhoneUtil Shortchut on my home but set it to Modem but my pc just recognize the Samsung Mobile USB Modem and i can't do anything on this port, the one i need is Samsung Mobile USB Serial Port in order to get connection with the tab for flashing.
Does anyone here have flashed this model to another carrier?
The model of my Tab 3 is SM-T217S.
Thanks.

firstly you dont need a dailer to put the tab in download mode secondly are you talking about unlocking it to use another sim?
i'd like to unlock the sim card but is can't i'd to flash for 3G(EVDO) network using DFS or CDMA Workshop.
I don't think that's possible

diag mode phoneutil for tab 3
I was able to get tab 3 in diag mode using a cmd terminal scripted (I found on the web) once and able to connect to qpst config but had a ? Mark next to esn. So I reset the tab hopefully being able to get back to phoneutil mode and recognized on qpst. Had no luck that way again, but I figured out another way hopefully this can help someone help me. But this new way im not even getting the phone showing up in qpst but I am getting phoneutil with dm+modem option. Ok. Im no way a expert but do fiddle so I used quickShortcutmaker.apk to make a activity on home screen the activity was factory mode. This activity gives you a keyboard gui. Assuming its the phone apk we dont get with tabs. So from there you can type ##3424# for phoneutil mode. If dont work, I also put a phoneutil.apk in system/app folder too. Not sure if this what helped so try either way and let me know if you getting closer to flash.
i flashed tab 3 Guide
Ok i just flashed the TAB 3 to MetroPCS. This how I done it, First of all I been flashing using the great wealth of info from this site for years. (BUT THIS IS MY FIRST TUTORIAL SO BEAR WITH ME) Okay the problem is getting the TAB 3 recognized as SAMSUNG. MOBILE USB SERIAL PORT in device manager . So I just Downloaded QUICKSHORTCUTMAKER from PLAYSTORE then i created an activity on homescreen the shortcut is name factory mode you'll find it if you scroll down the new activities. press OK and now its on your homescreen. from there you press the factory mode icon on home screen. This get you a dialer GUI. type in ##3424# that brings up DM settings. from there I just followed the other post to provision the TAB3 to my carriers of choice.
This is where I ran into Problems. It showed up with ? mark using CDMA configuration when changing esn but works perfect in DFS tools with port connection so I did ESN change using that program. and i also slowed down my setting in device manager to half with receiver and transmission buffer flow in SAMSUNG. MOBILE USB SERIAL PORT under properties, port settings and advance tab. another thing is you might want to do is uninstall sprint activation in Titanium backup before Provisioning because it'll try to restart sprint service for about 5 minutes, til its disable. If your not getting a connection in DFS anytime during the flash the only way I cleared up that was by factory reset with cache and delvik wipe for good measure in recovery. then download quickshortcut.apk again for factory mode access.
Just picked up 1 yester day
Ok so I have made some progress on this but I can't get the MSL & the 16 Digit pw that is working won't let me write to all the are's I need to write to.
So I Installed APEX Launcher & made a shortcut on my home screen called Factory Mode(Thanks to poster above)
then I opened it & a dialer showed up I put in ##3424#(##DIAG#) & got the normal Samsung Phone Util Screen so I Clicked PDA then Qualcomm USB Setting then clicked the BOTTOM 1 which is DM+MODEM+ADB I was able to get a Serial port in CDMA WS,DFS & QPST. FYI A couple of the other setting as well but use the Bottom selection like all other Samsung Phones
I am on 4.2.2 so I am going to try to Downgrade to 4.1.2 to see if I can get the MSL/SPC cause that's what's stopping me from getting working data on Selectel or any other Verizon MVNO for that matter. I'll post back if I make more progress,
If I don't post back that means I haven't had time or haven't made progress but i'll be tring to get this flashed cause i just picked 1 up so as long as I don't get to busy with customers i'll be on it.
msl code 16 digit password

I called sprint for my msl code and got it. But if your on Verizon tab then its just 000000, the 16 digit password that worked for me is 2012112120131219. I also in Dfs had used both msl and 16 digit to fully unlock. Phone hopefully you just need one. Let me know
Hopefully no dead in water already

I'm on a Sprint Tab 3. I have been flashing for yrs I am a dealer & flash everyday & I used that 16 Digit PW & everything wrote but the ppp username for some reason. I didn't try to "Repair" the MEID cause there's really no need to if your just going for 3G on a Verizon mvno Like I am. I would actually like to put it on T-Mo's $30 5GB of Data plan to b honest. I'm having issue's getting back into the Phone Util screen now. I flashed the Stock Deodexed had issue so I tried the Stock Odex Rom & just now figured out that the date is wrong on the Backup I made so I'm trying it so hopefully it will work & let me back into the Phone Util so I can keep messing with it.
I forgot to mention that that 16 Digit PW is also the same as the D710 & Sprint & USCC S3's & S4's. May also be the Default pw for Samsung. Just thought I would mention that incase some1 has it marked as 1 of those in their CDMA ws Folder like I do
Ok Update #3 or #2 whatever lol So I was able to restore my backup & get back into the Phone Util & Get Diag YAY whoo that wasn't good.
reconnecting to dfs

I had to go to recovery cwm and factory reset and cache, devle wipe when trying to reconnect to Dfs. you have to change meid and ESN then provision tab under CDMA. Unless youre trying to flash under T-Mobile Sim which I haven't tried but might been better speed and 4g possible. If so and get it working I want first dibs on tutorial lol
Ok so I was able to get this flashed to a Verizon MVNO so is anyone needs it flashed or help getting into diag mode let me know.
After I make a video ill post a link to it.

To my belief you cannot "flash" a sprint carrier to another. You have to get at least a sim card from the Verizon or other company to be able to use it.

Not true at all my buddy. just not true info at all. you can flash almost any cdma device that you can set in diagnostic mode and write information. Qualcomm and VIA chipset included. I have been flashing phones for years and flash many of these tablets as well. On a side note you can very much SIM unlock these Sprint GS4 and N3 etc , just google it before telling another guy misinformation....Sprint and Verizon are only using those SIMS for 4G authentification. it does not control your talk/text/cdma data at all
For anyone wondering this tab is flashable. Disconnect usb cable and often disable and re-enable diag while disconnected. this will bring back the port. you'll often have to close cdmaws or dfs for the port to become writable again.
Use the S3/S4 flashing methods and script to 000000 your MSL IF youre planning on a cricket or Verizon mvno

In order to get in diag mode you must download quickshortcatmaker from play store and then open it and search for factory mode and make shorcat. Then open the shorcat and type ##3424#. But you must have the 6dig code to access the menu.
