While back I successfully flashed this phone to Page Plus, along with a verizon PRL and it works like a charm talk and text but I get no data or MMS. What should I do to get data? Is it as simple as getting a verizon APN or do I need to do some wacky stuff?

That depends on how comfortable you are with QPST or DFS and whether you have a budget you are willing to spend to get the phone up and running. There is another thread running in this forum attempting to get 3g on Pageplus flashing an NV file, but there seems to be a number of issues that are still being worked out. Besides that, I know of two options for getting data:
1. Simplest method (and now the only one I ever use because, heck, it's freakin easy) - get Wireless Workshop. You can fully flash phones over to $10/phone and it does all the work for you. It gets mms up and running, does some kind of dmu calculation to allow you to run data at 3g speeds, and it's almost entirely automatic. Downside: you pay $10/flash and you have to buy credit in $50 chunks.
2. QPST 2.7/ DFS method (I was able to get mms and 1g data running) - I can't help you to find QPST, but a google search will get you there quickly enough or you can go with DFS, which you can download for free from their website.
It's been a while since I've flashed my LGOG (I think it was in February or March), so here is hopefully everything you need. Also, if you already know all this, my apologies. Some people seem to be having issues with getting the values to stick and if that's you, then I don't know what to tell you apart from going for Wireless Workshop. But your post sounded like you might not be in that camp, so here goes:
*You have to be on stock based rom (I usually use Lifeless or NextOG, just because those are already on my phone, but any should work just fine)
*Make sure phone is in DIAG mode - Dial ##DIAG#, then enable or yes or DIAG or whatever the option is
*Open QPST/DFS, plug in phone, and open the port in the program that shows your phone.
*In DFS you want to send the SPC, click on the PROGRAMMING tab, then edit the DATA and MOBILE IP tabs
- Enter [email protected] (#########@vzw3g.com) for the UID and NAI (technically I think the NAI should be [email protected] or something like that, but I've never found it to affect my ability to get 1g of data)
- Enter vzw for the password and shared secret values
* I don't remember which profile (0, 1, or 2) you need have as default. I think I just filled in all three and set 0 to default and it worked, but you may have to dink about for a bit if it doesn't work.
* The settings are similar in QPST, but with more tabs within tabs to fill in all the information.
That ought to get you data, and then you just need to change the mms settings.
*Dial ##DATA#, find the option for mms, click on it and choose to edit, enter SPC, change the value to http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms, set the port and proxy to nothing (this part was tricky for my phone to get it to change - I ended up switching it to 80, restarting the phone, and then changing it to nothing)
- the phone will restart and you'll be all set. If you have trouble sending or receiving mms, you can also search for wwmsgs.apk or pageplusmms.apk (though I prefer wwmsgs.apk because it looks like the AOSP messaging app)
Hopefully that helps, and hopefully I haven't forgotten anything essential. If I have, I'll try to help you get it sorted out.
+1 for wireless workshop. I flashed 2 OG's and it couldn't have been easier. I get true 3g speeds (2+Mbs), and everything else works.

I gave it a go with DFS, it tells me error code 89 cannot establish a data connection. then it keeps bootlooping back to the boot animation until i disable data
Edit: when i reconnect to dfs some settings have returned to their sprint settings. argh. I wish WW would just let me pay the 10 bucks for one flash.

I've been trying to rack my brain for what I did to make the settings stick, but I can't seem to remember. At one point I got that message as well, but I think between using QPST and DFS the settings eventually stayed. You could try changing some of the values by dialing ##DATA# and editing them there. I did that a few times on my wife's phone and it seemed to work ok (though the mms settings were quirky).
I have two friends coming over to Page Plus, so I'll be reactivating my Wireless Workshop account for them. I was planning to do the $50 and do $10 per flash, but it seems like there are a number of people here who would like to make the switch to Page Plus and get data. If I can figure out a way to allow others to chip in, we could all go for the unlimited license and get everyone flashed over with full 3g. The unlimited is good for 1 month and costs $75. I already have $20 of that coming my way from my two friends, so we would just need 5 or 6 more people who are interested and a way to make it happen (perhaps using teamviewer to flash them wirelessly?). I would feel hesitant about giving out my username and password, since my address and payment info are all on the account. Plus I think they limit it to one computer. But if I get it on mine, I could connect via Teamviewer to anyone interested. The whole process takes about 10 minutes.
What do you/anyone else think?
I have some time coming up this weekend, so that would be ideal.

Just thought of a way we could do the money. Google Wallet just setup an easy way to send money to someone's Wallet account through gmail. That could be an option. We would have to keep the amount I received under $55, since I'll be getting $20 from my friends and Teamviewer is only free if it's for private use, not for commercial use. I would want to keep this at fellow LGOG users helping each other out.
I bought my s3 in March of this year, and everything was working just fine until May. It's an awsome phone and I love it. However, since May, my phone no longer connects to 4g EVER and the 3g comes and goes and never stays connected for more than 10 minutes while in use. I've NEVER even come CLOSE to reaching my plans provided 2.5GB of data, so I know that's not the issue. The phone has never been dropped, or wet, as I am always very delicate with my phones. I have never placed it too close to the TV...
I contacted Boost mobile. They gave me a long list of things to try. I have tried EVERYTHING: making sure the mobile networks is checked, preferred network setting CDMA/LTE, soft reset, clear browser cache, update PRL, profile update, software update, firmware update, ##72786#, and even did a factory reset. Nothing helped. Boost said there was nothing else they could do for me, and that I needed to contact samsung.
Samsung said the only way for them to find the problem is for me to send them my phone, and wait 2 to 4 weeks for them to revise it and send it back. That's not an option as I need my phone monday through friday for my job. (UPDATE: I got so irritated with this problem that I went ahead and bought an LG Volt, since I didn't have the money to buy another galaxy. It's nice but I don't like it as much. I'm still afraid to send the Galaxy into Samsung. They have expressed to me that if they can't find an issue(just my luck), or if they find the issue to be my fault(IE I put the phone too close to a credit card magnet or some dumb crap like that), then they will charge me not only for the parts and labor, but for the return shipping... and we all know that they'll charge me way more than the phone is worth.
I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and if there's anyway to fix it without having to send my phone in to samsung? I have been told, also, that I could try reflashing the phone to it's original firmware and software, but I am afraid of screwing the phone up since I've never done anything like that before.
Thanks!
First off, Welcome to the forms.
Secondly, you came to the right place. On this form you'll find crazy people like me who like to do custom flashing updating all the technical stuff. And then there's section of the form where people just want a normal phone and just want the basic troubleshooting tips. As with any user will have to search through the forms because there's a high likely chance that someone already has or had your issue just at different time.
There could be multiple reasons as to what you're experiencing. First off I think you should confirm and verify that you will do live in a good 3G or 4G location so that any further test can be actually validated. Secondly if you're not being able to connect to data it seems that you need to reactivate your phone by getting back on the boost/Sprint network. A full factory restore with data wipe and then updating over the air with firmware, PRL, reboot should work. Make sure you are set to use LET, under mobile data, and that you have enabled Automatic connections to the tower. Reactivate the phone again, if still not connected, reboot.
If you're still not having connection and I think you probably need to do a reflash via ODIN. This is pretty much what Samsung would do I'm except they have their own proprietary tools. Here on XDA we just have great developers.
Good luck.
Thanks button if this helped.

You could definitely flash the stock ROM and kernel to your phone via ODIN. However, the safest and most foolproof way to do this would be to download Samsung's KIES software here: http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
Once in KIES, you would plug in your phone to the USB port and, if needed, download any drivers for your phone. Then, you would follow this path: Tools --> Firmware Upgrade and Initilisation. This will give you a warning that you will lose all your stored data on the phone, and will offer you to make a backup -- a very limited backup -- of information on your phone. If you don't have any worthwhile information, I'd skip the backup and go right to stock ROM restore.
Hope this helps.
tO rcatank, I have already done all of those things. I have a new phone (which I don't like as much) that is connected to 4g almost always.

I download KIES onto my computer or the phone? The phone already has something called "KIES Air" on it, is that the same thing? And then one I download the KIES software and hook up my phone and go through the prompts you've provided, it does the rest itself?

No, Kies Air is not the same thing. To do a stock restore, you have to hook it up to Kies on your PC via USB. Follow the steps I showed you, follow the steps on the screen, and Kies will take care of the rest.

Ok, thanks very much! One more question though... does it matter that the galaxy is no longer activated? I mean, obviously to test it to see if it works I'd have to re-activate it. But for this process, does it need to be activated?

Without it being activated, I don't think you'll be able to receive data of any kind. In order to test 4G capabilities, you are probably going to need to reactivate.
But, to restore it via Kies, no activation is necessary.
I have several old NOTE 2 (Sprint) phones. No longer used. I want to use them around the house for.. OK no bull ****.. I want to install Verizon Messages + on it and log in to my wife's
Account so I can see her messages. When I install the app on the old phone
It knows I am on a phone e and tries to log in with the old number.
The same app when installed on a tablet, let's you enter the phone number
To use and login with. How can I make the app think it's on a tablet and not
A phone?
Again, the phone is no longer used, just connected on WiFi and I am willing
To root or whatever, not worried about risk of bricking it as I will just
Move on to the next one and try again. I have tried Carrier Wipe and all. Still nothing.
Thanks in advanced. (Also I was thinking maybe something with the build.prop file
But app just force closes)
CyanideL has a tablet version of the ROM.

Root the phone and install Xposed. Afterwards, download a module named App Settings. The module will allow you to change the dpi and resolution of the app into one a tablet uses.
Does she know your intentions, or is this an invasion of privacy?
Reason being, I can't, in good conscience, give you advice on how to spy on your wife.
TLDR: Unlocked LG G2 was on Sprint, now on VIVA in Kuwait, Max WiFi users when running hotspot is 1 - I want to increase it to more.
Long version:
Hello! I am a military service member deployed to Kuwait. I have a Sprint LG G2 which is rooted and running the latest UltraPop ROM. Before I left the US, my phone was activated on the Sprint network and when I would use my WiFi hotspot, I had the ability to connect up to 10 users or something. When I got to Kuwait, I had to have my phone SIM unlocked for International use to make it work with the SIM cards provided by the carrier here (it's called VIVA). My phone was not on the Sprint network when I needed to unlock so when I did the UICC unlock it did an OTA over WiFi and then I was able to use my phone on their carrier. This is all well and good.
The problem is, I want to connect my laptop, my tablet and a few other items to my hot spot - thus the appeal of the hot spot, right? LOL. Anyway, several advanced options like the radio channel, frequency, etc. have now disappeared and in addition, the most important one - the amount of users able to connect to the hotspot, went from allowing 10 to 1. I am not sure why, except maybe something to do with the OTA update when I did the UICC unlock.
I did some reading and found this article: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718682
Quickly I tried it and restarted my phone. No change. Then I noticed there was another hack for phones that had been activated on the Sprint network, which as I explained above, believe applies to me. This article has a more complicated procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2675280
I am afraid to try this method and screw things up. I suppose I could boot in TWRP and do a NANDROID back up before I try it but I am wondering if anyone thinks it will hose the only working Internet I have right now in Kuwait.
Any help is appreciated. Also, if anyone knows how to get the WiFi hotspot to allow devices to connect while running a VPN at the same time please enlighten me!
Thanks!!!
Sincerely, Lost & Confused...
OK, so I am going to resurrect my own thread here. I spent some time on and off dealing with the 1 client max for the hot spot in my Sprint LG G2. Lots of frustration. Anyway, digging deeper based on a tip another friend of mine gave, I discovered something that I thought would have helped, but no cigar.
Anyway, a variable called max_num_sta in the file /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant/hostapd.conf allows the access point to have only one client. The hostapd application on Android performs almost identical to an average Linux distro, so I figured by modifying this variable I would be able to allow more than 1 client to connect to my hotspot. However, even when changing the file manually, as soon as the hot spot is enabled thru the stock interface, only 1 client is able to connect and looking at the file again shows the value of the variable has been reset.
Next step on the list, was to run the hostapd manually from an Android terminal (something like hostapd -e/data/misc/wifi/entropy.bin -BK /data/misc/wifi/hostapd.conf). The command works at the hot spot functions, but again somehow resets to 1 freaking client again!
I would really like to be able to use my G2 to connect more than one device at a time to my hot spot while I am stuck in Kuwait. It is my only source of Internet. Anyway. Is there a way to disable the stock Wi-Fi Hot Spot interface using Titanium Back-up? Remove the APK? Modify the system? Something? I'd really like to figure this out. Any info or suggestion appreciated...
Ladies and gentlemen of XDA, I have come before you today to admit to my defeat.
I have scoured the internet and tried all kinds of fixes and such and still no luck. So hopefully someone here can help me figure out what I'm missing.
I rooted both my husband's and my G955u. Both of our phones took the root well and were performing spectacularly. Then, randomly one day, something went glitchy with my phone. For some reason or another, I ended up putting the phone in airplane mode. For the life of me I can't remember why. The airplane mode icon would not turn back off. I turned the phone off and back on. Each time, I see the signal connection icon at the top, but there are no bars filling it. I cannot call, text, or use data unless I am connected to wifi.
I unrooted and flashed back to stock. No fix. I applied other root methods. Still no fix. Factory reset, cleared cache, took sim card out. Still nothing. Sim card works fine in other devices and no sim card will work in my phone. I have flashed each and every stock (2bqk5, 2bql1, 2brb1) with no luck. Took it all the way back down to 2bqk5 and allowed ota updates all the way to 2brb1. Still nothing.
Had an error for a while that when I entered recovery mode, it would either show no command or error followed by a screen saying that it had failed to unmount my EFS. That screen isn't showing up anymore, so I somehow fixed that. My IMEI and SN are both showing and are both correct. Phone network shows unknown. Mobile network shows state as connected. Mobile network type shows as IWLAN. Not Roaming, IMS registration status is on.
I have tried to flash the combined tar file of the modem and the Nonhlos.bin I extracted from my stock bql1 files. Flashed through Odin, still no fix.
I am at a total and complete loss. I don't know what else to try. Husband's root is still intact and working great. Can anyone help a noob figure out what I haven't done yet? I'm sure I'm missing something stupidly obvious. Any and all help is greatly appreciated and stories of your epicness will be told by my children's children of the time I was saved from the purgatory that is no cell service by the heroes of XDA.

Was just about to post about this, I too have been experiencing those issues, difference is my phone has not been rooted. Has the issue completely resolved?
Yes. That completely fixed my issues. You may not have to root to fix the issue if you can find the right secret code to access the service mode menu. But once the nv was restored, all was golden.
This is the screen you need to get to.
wow you went through all those downloads and flashes !
This was my first time ever rooting. I had no idea what I was doing or what exactly I needed to fix it I just knew I was pissed to high heaven and refusing to pay 200 for the replacement phone they said I needed.
Originally, geek squad tried to say that I had a chip failure due to the mipi device fail that showed up on menu *#0011#. But I didn't buy it. Turns out it wasn't a hardware issue. Just the NV data being a butt. Saved me 200 bucks. I'll take 50 million menus, flashes, and downloads over that anyway. That's what unlimited data and pdanet hotspot tether is for.
What did the menu have in it? I'm having a similar problem with not connecting to the network (unroot), but on my Galaxy S7. I've tried a million things, only to find out the "MIPI DEVICE FAILED".

Just the NV data being a butt. Saved me 200 bucks. I'll take 50 million menus, flashes, and downloads over that anyway. That's what unlimited data and pdanet hotspot tether is for.

I have the exact same issue on my S8+, MIPI device fail and can't get any network signal. On xfinity mobile here. I can't get that menu you're talking about, I downloaded Shortcut master and launch the menu you mentioned in your first post but it won't launch. Do I have to be rooted? Please help!
Mipi device failed. change the charging port and maybe it solves it. it has happened to me with a s7 and a note 8 and I have solved it by changing the loading port

I have the same issu on my G955U at&t variant. how did you solved the problem?
I'm having this issue in this model and the menu "*#27663368378# Chose options 2,1,2,3,4 and restarted phone" didn't solve, it will be necessary to change or reconnect the charging port or other part?
