pretty much just add esn to database...activate the account with that esn and then follow my guide and use either my roms or my script on a Sprint OTA based rom

I get the drivers installed then don't get anything else. I guess I'm gonna have to fork out $70 for a remote flash. Damn.

No need just go to a regular Metro PCS store, not an affiliate, and they charge $10...Follow Bloody's guide very easy take 30 minutes as long as you follow everything step by step.

lol. had a numberswap on the account and was entering the new number instead of the old one! I had to reformat my netbook with win 7 for the drivers to work. then I was able to connect on port 3. I have voice and text now, no data. I read about tolken's zip but It's not working for me.

Help please!!

Just use the bloodykiller86 guide and his metrodroid ROM easiest way to get DATA to work...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795182

followed the guide to a T. The local metropcs guy don't flash phones. I told him "I saw on the internet" right, and he started saying youtube. I told him, "no, xda" he said well if you think you can hack that **** go ahead and try. My text were all out of order with the metro droid roms. CM 6.1.1 - MetroPCS Edition made that strait. but with no htc sync you have to use WiFi. Well, I don't know how to set the evo up for a PPP connection but I think that's a whole other thread. Autostart.root. The tolken's zip file flashed. no go for the mms. I live in Mt. Pleasant MI. I'm sure a lot of people up here would be thrilled!
and I followed blood's guide several times, thanks. That's what's got me this far. Thank you blood! CM 6.1.1 - MetroPCS Edition is so nice. If you might be able to help me, I got yahoo messenger and mIRC.

where are you from before you even waste your time. I paid 20 and went through all of that to find out I cant even use my Evo on metro because its dual band and i wont get service in New York.

Mt. Pleasant MI
who would I ask? metrotecks don't know nothing. less than I do anyway.
if that's the case I don't want metropcs in Central Michigan. Boost/Sprint has the 3G's In Mt. P but I would have to know how to go back to sprint. Would flashing an old IMG do that?

[Q] Ok ok epic sprint voice working, no 3g/4g...

Alright. I can admit when I'm wrong. I was wrong to post my previous question, my apologies to admins and the forum.
But now I have a question that is exactly (I hope) like the "Epic 4g to Boost Mobile (how to get the 3g working)- 2/4/11 UPDATE (MMS & VM WORKING)" thread in development.
Background:
I have been using Sprint since I bought the Epic 4g sometime around the beginning of 2011. I have the unlimited data plan which I barely make a dent in!
I saw the boost thread in development and was interested - $50 a month unlimited with pay as you go and bill shrinkage! (also I enjoy fooling with technology), but I didn't want to play around with my original Sprint Epic4g: If I screwed it up, even temporarily, I wouldn't have a phone until either I returned it to working on Sprint, or got it working properly in Boost. And I need a working phone.
So: I bought a cheap, but in excellent condition, Epic4g and a Boost incognito (as recommended in the development thread) on Ebay. Then I signed up for pay as you go boost ($50 + 10 to activate the Boost phone.
Then I got the Ebay Epic4g to work with voice and data on Boost. Thanks, development thread posters!
BUT I've decided to stay with Sprint for few months while newer phones come out and the bugs get worked out of those newer phones.
Meanwhile, one of the metal battery contacts on my original Epic4g broke. I was able to bend the remaining piece so that I can use the phone if I don't move it around too much. Sprint has sent me a replacement Epig4g which appears to be new and which I have left in the box.
......
Now I can make phone calls on the Ebay Epic4g, using my sprint account (I spoke with Sprint last night after error 16, also as recommeded in an XDA thread!). Having a phone that can make voice calls is mandatory before using the Epic4g to Boost Mobile data thread.
However I can't get the data to work on the ebay phone. I have tried entering my epic4g HA and AAA keys into CDMA workshop - I think there are two AAA keys, one for each profile (0 and 1). The AAA of the first profile seems to be 0x10 hex numbers, while the AAA of the second profile ([email protected]? .com?) seems to need 0x06 hex numbers. But no luck.
I have tried entering the entire set of hex numbers that this step get you (from the development thread):
spc YOUR6DIGITSPC
<ENTER>
requestnvitemread ds_mip_ss_user_prof
<ENTER>
for both profile 0 and 1. No go. "Sprint username or password incorrect."
Help! Please.
I hope this doesn't break forum rules but as far as I can tell I am now in the same position as that thread in development.

Hey, you really should be looking at CDMA Gurus........

Hey thanks for the tip. I was looking for some other tips though. I appreciate your taking the time to write a response!

I have a similar problem with an Epic. Voice, texting, wifi work, but no 3g/4g.

[Q] Sprint to Cricket

Hi all:
first post here
I just got a Sprint S3 with cracked screen and bad esn for $95 and the screen still works
I had to spend $25 on gas to get it so i guess total = $120 but still not bad
Anyhow i see lots of tuts and videos on how to go from Sprint to Cricket but almost all of them say to use your cricket phone number.
I dont have cricket in my area but where my sister lives she does which is a couple states away from me.
Anyhow i not sure if im gonna make a deal with her or not but that is what originally got me looking in this direction as i usually use skype over wifi but mainly i switch to GV over wifi and it works really good with groove ip
ANYHOW
how do i go about following those tutorials on changing phone from sprint to cricket when i dont actually have any of that data to put in since i dont have a cricket phone with cricket service so if the next person that actually got the phone with cricket service could have it programmed for their area and have it work correctly?
thanks

What's the value if it has a cracked screen? FYI the screen on the s3 is about 300 to replace and you can get a new one on craigslist for that. Anyways see WWW.cricket users.com for instructions on flashing they have all the tutorials you need.

No if its only the screen and not the digitizer it can be replaced for $30 in 15 mins by the right person.

Thanks
FNM

did anyone actually even read my the original post that started this thread (that replied in this thread)
people answered how to or not to fix my screen more then anything else
i have read and followed the tutorials on how to flash from sprint to cricket
that is not my Q
how do you do it when you dont have cricket service (cricket phone number)?
what would i enter as my cricket phone number (if i was going to send it to my sister in kansas) so it would be almost all ready for her to start using it without her telling me any of her info?
thanks
just want it to be ready to use like a normal person with cricket service who had bought this phone off ebay and wants to activate with cricket.
im not saying i want to sell it yet as i just got it but im sure some day within next 6months i might or i might make a deal with my sister so if anyone buys the phone and wants to activate with cricket i would like it to be painless as possible
see if i had cricket service i am sure i could cdma tool and enter everything i need to get it working but if it goes to someone new i am sure they will just want to activate like normal and without entering a (cricket) phone number in those tutorials with cdma tool would it make it hard for the next person to activate it on cricket?
would they be able to do it over the phone with cricket or could they take that newly flashed phone in to cricket and they would be able to get it done?
hope someone understands what im saying
if it was for me (and i currently had cricket) im sure that would be easy because i know the web and these tools
what happens when a person gets these phones and dont know any of that stuff?
is it treated just like a regular cricket phone when you take it in their shop?

(HOW TO) Flash The Sprint Galaxy S3 to Verizon Prepaid

Mod Edit
Process:
Simple watch video
Questions:
Ask away but honestly if you ask something that is clearly in this video or involves an iphone I'm not answering................ and I'm not above saying some smart ass stuff. Looooove you

Seems to be working OK. But I have slow data issues on Prl 53000. It does show that I am on Evdo Rev A. I did just get a roaming data notice too. Something about too much roaming data. I'm on the stock LJ7 rom and rooted. Also, when I dial 611, still goes to Sprint. What am I doing wrong here? New rom?

Very nice video.

I have the same setup. With stock and rooted LJ7 ROM and Baseband. When I dial 611, I get Verizon. Phone and texting works fine, but I can't get 3G to work. I tried to replace the 53000 PRL with the 1X one and still the same. I'm getting "No network connection. No signal found for mobile networks".

Hmmm. Sometimes, what fixes it for me is to just reboot the phone.
Otherwise, sounds like something didn't flash over correctly. I always try and make sure that when flashing, I check the log and see that its successful / complete. If not, you'll end up with issues.
One issue I had was my phone number wasn't showing up when going to About Phone Status in Settings. It only showed the last four numbers. Reflashing worked fine for me.
And other thing. Did you follow the instructions about going the web on the gusto 2 first? I had to actually pick a website and try to open it.
Good luck!

You need to call verizon tell them your phone is not receiving text, and no data. Have them to reauthenicate the account and maybe you will get data then...... The problem with flashing to Verizon Prepaid is one wrong move and account gets locked out.........

You didn't write something correctly or missed a step. dial *228 on your phone. It may not let you dial the one or the two so just hang out and it will program your phone for you also then write the 53000 prl. I promise that if you follow the video exactly you will get 3g data unless you live somewhere that doesn't have 3g data.
I also want to touch on vipers comment about getting locked out of service. I'm constantly saying this but I'll say it again. I've been on verizon prepaid myself for over a year now. I'm currently on the 35 dollar plan. I haven't had any problems with them at all. I've also flashed several of my friends phones to VP and they haven't had any problems except for one guy every time he gets drunk the next day I have to rewrite his aaa and ha password (still can't figure that out) but no one has lost their account.
What do I think is happening to these accounts? Nothing I believe these individuals are people/businesses who get paid to flash phones and don't want the secrets out there and this is probably killing there business. People get concerned by problems and start to wonder about that. For instance a few years ago I was working for this small cell phone flashing company and flashing to boost started to kick off. Well we didn't have everything set up like this other company did so when someone came in we had this rumor going on that this guy who had his cell phone since they first came out, lost his number because boost found out and then he went to their shop and threw brick through their window.
Saying somthing like that to a customer we already had wasn't really targeted to him\her. But to any friends of theirs that questioned them about their service believe it or not but people like to talk. Especially about bricks being thrown through windows. I didn't stay long with that company but it's an example.

Wow, was that really necessary? Sounds to me like you totally dished on me and my comment, then judged me as one of these bad cellphone business owners as you called them. I hope i took this the wrong way as it is definatley not true. I would suggest you look at some of my posts how I help others all the time if this is the case. I flash many phones, to all carriers including Verizon Prepaid, and I know for a fact that sometimes your account needs reauthenicated. No different from Page Plus resetting the esn......... No scare tactics here, I dont need to write passwords even to verizon prepaid, I can pull them ota with no problem......

I was I've through all of your posts (takes about ten minutes) and your xda repoire at first is to just ask a bunch of questions and then you started to sell yourself as a cell phone flasher. Then you found out how to pull aaa keys and refused to tell anyone and blamed it on cdma workshop not being free. You can still show the process and I'm calling you out on that and the fact your trying to scare people into not going to verizon prepaid. You may fool some people but you don't fool me.

Hmm.. I must have misunderstood the *228 thing in the video. But anyways. Now that I did *228 thing, I'm stuck with the roaming indicator. Does that matter? I plan on flashing another rom and hope it changes it. Also, how does doing *228 affect the phone? It was working fine earlier and I even clocked 3G speeds at 2.7mbps.
Thanks

You can call me out all you want, I have done several phones while members watched and seen the keys pulled in. I have not tried in no way to scare people from verizon prepaid. I flash to them myself, but you are dead wrong if you do not think that a account will need to be reathenicated sometimes. I have nothing to prove to you but only offered a suggestion to the guy having issues (now my comment was seen that way by you, I have no idea) . Anyways good luck to you in your venture as I am way above arguing this with you. No one is fooling anyone here but you..... I don't need to sell myself, proof is in the pudding bro.......
Viper

I know your gonna read this because curiousity will bring you back to see my rebuttal. It's how life works. I'm not saying that you can't pull the aaa keys what I'm saying is that you refuse to share the knowledge of how to do it. You made a thread to talk about it but really I believe that you made that thread to make a profit. There is free software to record your screen and there is also hacked software for camtasia there is no excuse not to share especially on xda.
You probably won't respond because you don't want to share this info and pretending like you didn't see this post is probably better than trying to come up with an excuse because there isn't one.

I reflashed the phone again slowly making sure I follow each step of the video and also did the *228 on the phone. After I disable Wifi, I still get "No network connection. No Signal found for mobile networks."
At first I had the LG2 modem and it keep on prompting for a sim card, so I updated it to LJ7. Still no 3G and I keep on getting the roaming message.
I do noticed however when I got to Settings, About device, Status:
Network = Sprint (shouldn't this be Verizon?)
Mobile network type: 1xRTT:6 (CDMA)
User name = [email protected] (shouldn't this be something like my telephone # @vzw.com?)
Mobile network state = disconnected (???)
IMEI =Old one from Sprint (shouldn't this be my Verizon Gusto 2 IMEI?)
Thanks guys for all your help.

I flashed the MOAR rom and kept LG2 modem. Did you download and flash rhe correft PRL? I also went out for a drive to make ure 3G would appear. I would recommend you do the same and see if it helps.

OK, let me try to use the MOAR rom instead. The LG2 modem keeps on asking for a sim card. Sprint is CDMA, so hence no sim card.
I'm using the LJ7_STOCK_WITH_COUNT_RESET16 rom and the pageplus_sprint_phones_only_no_roaming_indicator_53000.prl

Hmmm.. I never had a problem with the Sim request. From my understanding, you probably still have the Mobile Network set to LTE. That should be the only reason why it's looking for a Sim Card.
I also noticed a different PRL after activating on Verizon.
Good Luck!

Note 2 pageplus go back to sprint

I have a note 2 (sprint bad esn) that I cannot get flashed to page plus.
I have had this phone on Verizon prepaid until it crapped out.
I then put it on boot mobile but could not get it to work
I then am now trying to get it on Page plus.
I have tried Wireless Workshop, manually doing it with CDMA and DFS, and have taken it to 2 different companies in my town to have it flahed. They cannot findout anything that is wrong with the phone and still cannot get it to properly flahsed.
So my options are Is there a way to get this thing flashed back to sprint. (stock data, mms, and voice) settings and re flash it to page plus or can i just take it back to a sprint store and they can do it for me?
thanks!
Chris

What's exactly wrong with it ? I've got mine flashed to Verizon prepaid but its basically the same as pageplus far as flashing
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

Thanks for the reply.
The company that flashed it was remotewirelesstech.com
They flashed it then about 2 months later it crapped out on me. I lost data then i lost voice/text a couple of weeks later.
I contacted them and they said that they will not reflash bc alot of ppl have hadthis happen to them in the past.
So I tried to flash to Boost. Got everything to work, then I got no data or voice.
I then tried to use wireless workshop to go to Pageplus but nothing would work.
Someone told me that Pageplus will not allow rooted phones, so I unrooted and went back to a stock rom 4.1.2.
I reflashed with wireless workshop and now when I try to call it askes to add money to the account.
But nothing works. I still have 2 dollars on my PP account.
I then took it to 2 different flashing companies around my area and they could not figure it out. (II think they both done just automated one click methods) but Ive even tried to get it to work with CDMA workshop and DFS to no avail.
If someone is up to it, I can donate paypal to get this thing flashed remotly. Im so desperate.
I paid almost 500 for this phone last march and now If I sell it, It will only get 300 out of it. But I love my Note II, and was thinkgin about buying the verizon model if I sell this one.
Any suggestions??

i can help
i can do a remote flash.... those 1 click methods dont work to well....i use dfs
pm me and we can set up something
