Ok. I have l900 with a busted antenna connection on the board. That little title popped off so easy I can't believe it. I have another l900 I can not for the life of me get to connect to dfs. Can I just pull the daughter board from this one and put it on that one like swapping a cdma sim? If not why the heck won't my l900 connect to dfs? Changed out a working usb used in another phone and still no go. Ljc to ne2. Still no dfs reading. I can connectto the port just fine but searches pphone for ever.i even went stock and let ota take me to ne2. Still no go. Mc2 stock count reset still no go. 4.3 no go. Sec is all 000000. Idk wtf. Already put that l900 on boost mobile but no sprint here. Only option may be to get an electronics shop to replace the connection. Idk wtf. Help me to get my l900 connected to dfs like this busted l900 does and I won't worry about anything.

I have a S3 Verizon.
It was flashed remotely by another forum member.
It hasn't worked right since.
It was flashed to PagePlus
Data runs about 200-600kbps
mms messaging doesn't work.
half my calls get dropped.
I just want to cut my losses and set the phone to stock and sell it.
And yes, the problem is in the flash, not the phone.
It was half-flashed for 2 weeks and calls/sms worked fine.
So how do I return it to stock?
Look in the Verizon section for a stock ODIN tar (or stock ROM), and ODIN.
Now i'm not familiar with how your person got the phone on pageplus. Did he add the default MEID to pageplus' ESN database or did he "repair" with another donor MEID? If he modified the MEID/ESN then you'll have to get that back to the original MEID/ESN (can't be discussed here on xda..) and you're set.
Thanks for your reply.
I dine know how he did it but my meid shows wrong on the phone. Its completely different than what my meid actually is.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
So the MEID that is showing on the phone (Settings>About Phone) is different from what is printed on the back of the phone when you remove the battery?
If that is the case, he modified your MEID using a donor. I assume you're not familiar with the "tools" used to do these. You'd need to write the original MEID back to the phone (and do a ##786 reset just in case afterwards) and that's it.
Can't you get in touch with the individual?
You can definitely sell it the way it is if you explain what has been done to it, but of course you'd lose on the value..(folks who know how, know how to remedy it easy regardless).
Hi all -
Yes I am new here, but I have used this site for quite some time and haven't really been able to figure out the answer so here goes. I have a T-Mobile T889 Note 2 but I have ATT service. While I get service here at my house with the MB4 baseband, as soon as I leave and go anywhere, I lose signal where I would have it if I had an ATT version of this phone. In short, my actual signal stinks. My phone is unlocked, rooted, and I have run many different roms and tried modem zip files to no avail, only getting boot loops. I have tried the *#197328640# as well.
My question is: Is it possible to turn this T889 into a i317 ATT version so I can get better signal? Or am I just up a creek? There has to be a way to get a ATT modem to actually work.
Please, any help would be great, and thanks so much for all the input all of you have.
Update!

Hope this helps anyone with issues on their phone...Contacted Samsung Support about my terrible radio/signal issues (going through T-Mobile was ridiculous, as I could not find the receipt, but the phone is still within its warranty period anyway). Samsung sent me a UPS label to ship the phone back. Flashed the phone back to stock and rolled the counter back to 0 using the tuts on here. Took about a week or so, but looks like they replaced two components on the phone after finding the following: NO PCS SERVICE - WILL NOT CHARGE - SIM ELECTRICAL FAILURE. Two components were replaced (not detailed as to what though). Samsung is sending the phone back to me now, no cost to me and no need for receipt either (since the phone hasnt even been on the market for a year, so it is def within warranty). So while many of us might find some issue with our phone and we continuously looks for different ways of tweaking or whatever, sometimes it's actual issues with the hardware that may need replacing.
Thanks all!
a couple months ago i had my epic 4g flashed over to metro with data working and everything except pic messaging. then i went for a dry spell with work and had to shut my metro phone off to pay bills. well i went to get it turned back on which worked just fine on the epic but data wont turn back on. the guy that flashed my phone told me that my phone would have to be flashed again, i am not paying another 60 dollars to flash this phone. so anyway can anyone give me a hand in figuring this out? i tried getting my phone on qpst and cdma workshop but for some reason it won't recognize my phone and cdma just tells me phone wont answer. and help would be greatly appreciated.

Just a wild guess, but maybe try updating your Profile. And you can access the "MMS Server URL" setting with ##3282##. You'll need your MSL and get the server setting from MetroPCS.
You'll have to do both of these using the Samsung-based firmware. If you are flashed with a custom ROM then you can try booting into a temporary Samsung FC09 ROM.
Not sure if the subject has been brought up before but basically, I have a Straight Talk S3 and would like to know if it's possible to essentially turn it into a Sprint S3 via software. I have been trying to actually flash the phone to nTelos, a regional carrier. I have cut through all the red tape and made it grab a COM port, and managed to acquire the SPC code. However when I flash it the same way I would flash a sprint model on the same 4.1.2 software, the PRL reverts to Straight talk after a reboot.
I've already gutted the phone and found that the board is indeed labelled SPH-L710. Just a Sprint board with different software, which seems to reject flashing. So I'm wondering what would have to be done to kick the Straight Talk software out and force Sprint software into it?
Bump...any idea from anybody?
No one has a clue why Sprint can't see serial number & can't activate it. It was Demo phone never activated for use.
ESN ready for activation!
SAMSUNG L900 SILVER (SPHL900GYS)
version 4.3
1. I tried some forenic software & I did see GSM in the settings. But under phone Device details it says CDMA-eHRPD.
2. If my 14yo kid playing around it unlock it with a bad code before it was activated have screwed it up and changed setting to GSM?
3. Would flashing &/or rooting return it to normal, if the problem is it was set/changed to GSM & not CDMA?
4. Could it be flashed to another mvo but since it hasn't been activated with Sprint first, would that make a difference?
I already spent a couple of weeks searching google, this & other forums & couldn't find a similar situation. Contacted everyone possible at Sprint support. Their solution was take it to a Sprint repair store, which is a 3 hour drive. Just to see if it was ever flashed which it wasn't. I guess I'll do the store if I can't get help here. I was hoping just some simple setting changes might fix it.
Can anyone please help with this problem or give options?
If your phone is in fact a Sprint branded phone then yes you can activate it on the Sprint network. I assume the esn and meid numbers are attached on the back of the phone beneath the battery. If so then all you will need to do is flash the stock Sprint rom on your phone using odin. I would first get your phone back to factory condition and verify everything works by visiting this thread...

Follow the instructions to get your phone back to original out of box condition. Good luck.
