Android 8.1 - How to edit cellular APN? - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Trying to get Pixel XL 8.1 activated on Total Wireless (Verizon MVNO) to work with data (i.e., cellular APN).
Calling and texting work, so I am (almost) certain it is a cellular APN issue.
I go into Settings -> Networks -> Mobile Data -> Advanced -> Access Point Names (i.e., APN), and find nothing on screen, and nothing highlighted.
Stock APN does not work. And, I cannot find anywhere ability to edit or add cellular APN.
I have tried modding the apns-conf.xml file under /system/system/etc (followed by a factory reset to regenerate APN list) to no avail.
Downgrading to Android 8.0 until ability to edit/add cellular APN can be done. Would appreciate any help in getting cellular APN modded under Android 8.1

I got it to activate on Total Wireless (Verizon MVNO) on Android 8.1 by installing 8.0, activating on 8.0 (and confirming data working), and letting the beta 8.1 install via OTA.
Weird result that OTA works to activate, but that factory image does not.
EDIT: I since lost my cellular connection because my 8.1 phone could not show the necessary "TRACFONE.VZWENTP" APN; reverting to 8.0 fixed the cellular APN permanently

On Android 8.1? That's a surprise.
Who is your carrier? And, do you have a carrier SIM, or an MVNO SIM (where you are piggybacking on a Big 4 carrier's towers)?
Using SIMs from my 2x Verizon-based MVNOs, the APNs are hidden. I did not capture screenshots (though I will on 8.1 final).
When I investigated by adb pull-ing the apns-conf.xml file at /system/system/etc to see what was going on, I noticed that there was a new menu item under each of the Verizon MVNO-based APNs, labeled "user_hidden" with "true" and "false" as options. All of the ones having to do with Verizon MVNOs had the label with option "true" (i.e., implying that the APN would be hidden from user, which is what I experienced).
Though I was able to maintain my cellular connection in doing the OTA from 8.0 to 8.1, I since lost it and was unable to get it back (neither network reset nor factory reset worked). So, I reverted to 8.0, and have the stable "TRACFONE.VZWENTP" APN going strong.
It would be a sad day if Google removed the capability of APN editing in 8.1 as another way to lock their phones.

I have TMO and I can edit and add apns. Might be something with Verizon and their MVNOs why they aren't showing up

Here are screenshots

Im using mobitel (sri lanka) and yes im on 8.1. However i didn't update to 8.1 via OTA. I flashed factory images manually. I think this is only for Verizon..However you can ask them about this

How I accomplish this on my Pixel XL (and other phones that have locked apn settings)
This is what I have to do because my carriers apns are not in the Pixel XL's database and wrongly detect them as Verizon.
1. First off you need to have root.
2. After root, you need to hook phone into PC and access adb shell with root permissions.
3. After that.... issue this command
Code:
content query --uri content://telephony/carriers/preferapn
This will tell you which APN your phone is using at this current time. I have found it easiest to edit the APN your phone is using already. You then look where it says "_id=SOME NUMBER"
4. Once you know what number your phones APN settings is using then its time to issue the commands to edit that apn Number field
Replace SOME NUMBER with whatever apn number you are editing. Below is the syntax to edit the most usual apn fields. A good thing to do would be to obtain your APN settings and I may be able to help you find out what fields you need to edit
Code:
content update --uri content://telephony/carriers --where "_id=SOME NUMBER" --bind type:s:"default,dun,mms"
content update --uri content://telephony/carriers --where "_id=SOME NUMBER" --bind user:s:"[email protected]"
content update --uri content://telephony/carriers --where "_id=SOME NUMBER" --bind mmsc:s:"http://mms.whateverwirelss.com"
content update --uri content://telephony/carriers --where "_id=SOME NUMBER" --bind mmsport:s:"whateverport"
This is what works for me 100 percent to get the right APNS in a verizon MVNO or Verizon LRA carrier partners apns programmed into whatever device i want to.

I was hopeful when reading this that I would be able to do this, but in adb shell I get all types of java errors. I'm updated to latest pureNexusADBTools. Are you getting errors trying this on Android 8.1?

I have found an app that is missing from the 8.1 Dev preview and it is, of course, VZWAPN.apk. Placing this file where it would go on 8.0 doesn't work on 8.1.. Best, easy option is fastboot update zip, not fastboot -w update.zip. If anyone has a better or working way to change apn settings for Verizon specific carriers, please lmk.

The java errors would be because you don't have root in the adb shell. IOW - after adb shell, your first command needs to be: su (and on the phone itself, grant su permission)

Thank you very much!!! I've been without data since yesterday because my APN wasn't right an I couldn't edit it as it was greyed out. Thanks to your post (and the multiple examples you threw up) I was able to fix my protocol and have my data back.
If anyone else has data connection issues and stumbles upon this, here's the command I used:
content update --uri content://telephony/carriers --where "_id=SOME NUMBER" --bind protocol:s:"IPV4V6"

This Works for 8.0 and 8.1 Devices
I came up with a new way that solves this issue.....no root required
I have confirmed this working on two Android 8.1 devices that use Verizon MVNO's (Pixel XL and Pixel 2 XL)
1. Turn phone off
2. Take out sim card
3. Boot phone up
4. Enable usb debugging and connect to PC
5. open up an ADB shell (if you dont know how to do this then do some research)
6. enter the command
Code:
am start -a android.intent.action.INSERT content://telephony/carriers --ei simId -1
7. This will open the "Add new APN" activity.
8. Fill in all the APN info you need to and name it whatever you want and then click save in the the menu options up top.
9. Once you save the APN...turn the phone off
10. Insert SIM again
12. Turn phone on and let it boot up.
11. Go to Access point names in settings and select the new APN you added.
Have a good day

Have you or anyone else tried using dialer codes? I got the right APN to show up for Red Pocket Verizon using a dialer code on a G4 Plus with an 8.1 ROM. The APN's can't be added otherwise. I'm looking for someone with Pixel devices to test out this solution with any Verizon MVNO such as Total Wireless.

What dialer code?

*#*#4636#*#* is the dialer code. This would be a multi step process though, not just typing in that dialer code. It would involve changing some settings you gain access to with that dialer code, and then resetting apn to default.

Would it involve turning "carrier provisioning" off and then resetting something back to default?

No. And now I am truly confused as to what is happening. Let me take a few steps back and describe some of my troubles.
With my Verizon MVNO I initially had a problem where I either had LTE data and texts working but no ability to place phone calls, or I had data working at 3G only with phone calls also working. I assumed this to be some sort of APN issue. Of course I could not edit any or add any new APN's since I was locked out of the ability to do so being on an 8.1 AICP ROM. The MVNO thought I may have messed something up with the SIM to cause these troubles, as I initially tried to activate service by dialing *228. I did that to try and fix a somewhat unrelated issue that they could not immediately resolve for me (trying to get texts and data to work!). At some point they offered to send me a new SIM, which I turned down because at least in my experience, that's rarely, if ever, the real problem.
Eventually I came across that dialer code *#*#4636#*#* and played with several different settings and was able to resolve the problems on my own by doing so. After entering that code, a screen should pop up with several different options. Choosing "phone information" gives you the ability to see some specific information about your phone, how it is connecting to the network, and even more. In my case, I could see I either had "data network type" as LTE with "voice service" as not connected, or "data network type" as "EvDO-rev.A with "voice service as "connected." I don't believe the "preferred network type" was properly set here, but it may have been. It's been a few weeks since I had to do this. Either way, setting it to LTE/CDMA auto (prl) followed by clicking the 3 dot menu and then selecting the radio band menu and setting it to "automatic" seemed to fix the issues with a couple more steps involved. The other steps were to toggle the mobile radio power off and on, then going into the APN settings and doing a reset to default. Once done, the proper APN's were there and everything worked. Please note, the preferred network mode set using the dialer code, can be different than what is in your system settings. In fact, you have a lot more options to choose from by way of the dialer code, or at least I did. In both places though, you should try setting to LTE/CDMA auto and see if it helps with the other steps I just described. With the dialer code menu, you can also try to "trigger carrier provision." I did try that at some point, but it didn't seem to do anything for me.
Now here is where things got really interesting. The thing could be random and ROM specific or dumb luck or anything really. But somehow, while playing with the settings this evening for the purpose of this reply, I gained access to being able to totally edit all APN's and add new ones. It could be ROM related, but I was locked out of the settings before playing with a bunch of different settings combinations that I'm about to describe.
If the first set of steps didn't help you, you can try this or any different combination thereof.
Go to your system settings, and set your devices preferred network type to "Global." Use the dialer code mentioned above, and set the preferred network type to global as well (if it doesn't work, keep trying others), try setting radio band to "automatic" and then toggle mobile radio power off and on, go to your apn settings and do a reset to default, if that doesn't work you can try setting the radio band to "united states." Then toggle mobile radio power off and on again and reset apn settings to default. If that doesn't work keep changing the "preferred network type" to something else while also trying the two different radio band choices. I don't know how it happened exactly, but doing these things somehow gave me the ability to add and save new APN's that I didn't have just a couple of hours ago. Everything also works with the phone as it should, even with the network type set to Global in both places. I'm wondering if anyone else will have any luck trying these things out. If so, I plan to write a better and full guide on my site.

This did work for me to get to my APN settings. Now just getting the right APN settings.
I tried the first setting listed here: https://bestmvno.com/apn-settings/total-wireless-apn-settings/
My phone wouldn't let me us 'dun' as an apn type, so I switched it to 'mms'.
I do have internet and it is nice and speedy, but I can't send picture messages.

IOTHiddenMenu (USB Settings, LTE Settings, Test Mode, Dialer codes, etc)

Most noteworthy edits include LTE only mode, LTE/CDMA mode(no 3G) and NV BACKUP/RESTORE. Nice little all-in-one shortcut for most of the hidden menus on this device.
If there is another thread on this in the Sprint Galaxy S III forums I apologize. Just going to outline this menu which is found on stock Sprint GS3 Touchwiz roms.
Getting Started
You can use Any Cut, Better Cut, Nova Launcher etc etc to make a shortcut to this menu.
1. Better Cut > New ShortCut > No > All Activities > IOTHiddenMenu(first one listed).
2. Any Cut > ?
3. Nova Launcher > Long press on home screen > Shortcuts > Activities > Scroll to IOTHiddenMenu and click it to expand > Scroll down to the first IOTHiddenMenu in that list(under GPSCLRX)
Now we can open our new shortcut and you should see the following screen...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
USBSetting Menu
This menu switches the phone's USB mode when connected to a computer.
MTP (Media Transfer Protocol; device shows up as USB drive)
MTP + ADB (default setting; should be self-explanatory)
PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol; device shows up as camera)
PTP + ADB (should be self-explanatory)
RMNET + DM + MODEM (RMNet = USB virtual Ethernet framework; DM = Diagnostic Mode; Modem = self-explanatory)
DM + MODEM + ADB (self-explanatory) (best setting when using QPST/QXDM/etc)
LTE Mode Menu
I do not have LTE in my area yet. Could anyone detail what some of the options below do exactly? I'm sure one is for LTE only.
TestMode Menu > CDMA > COMMON > NEXT PAGE > NEXT PAGE > PREF MODE SET may be the better alternative to this.
LTE Service Forced
Enable LTE Mode
Enable GLOBAL Mode
Enable CDMA Mode (default)
TestMode Menu
1. UMTS
UMTS > COMMON > NV REBUILD (NV REBUILD, NV BACKUP, NV RESTORE)
Everything else under UMTS either doesn't work.. or isn't worth messing with.
2. CDMA
CDMA > COMMON > NEXT PAGE > NEXT PAGE > PREF MODE SET (CDMA/EVDO/LTE, GSM/WCDMA, LTE ONLY, CDMA/LTE, CDMA ONLY, EVDO ONLY)
Everything else under CDMA either doesn't work.. or isn't worth messing with.
3. LTE
Nothing of interest.. just displays LTE debug status.
4. SIM
SIM > CHECK NV (Helps identify possible incorrect settings. Displays current PREF MODE. NV should be set under RTRE Config.)
Not worth messing with anything else in here.
5. run EFS SYNC()
Doesn't do anything.
There are lots of other options in here to mess with but most are broken, not supported or just really not worth messing with. All the MSL settings for example... no matter what.. I can't seem to read/write a new MSL via Test Mode. CDMA > CONTROL > MSL Edit has broken my MSL. *Update* Fixed MSL. I also messed up my EFS playing with the wrong stuff. I was able to recover.. but BE CAREFUL!!

The ##DEBUG# Menu includes the LTE Engineering information screen, which is the only place to find the proper signal strength (RSRP) and signal quality (RSRQ) of a live LTE connection.
I was playing with that and tried Korea mode think it would put the phone in Korean
Disappointingly it didn't now I can't connect to sprint 3g

run your NV RESTORE... TestMode > UMTS > COMMON > NV REBUILD > NV RESTORE. Make sure you hit the RESTORE setting and not Rebuild/Backup. The last thing you want to do is create a backup of bad nv settings(such as nv settings all being set for Korea mode). After you hit RESTORE the phone should reboot within a few seconds... wait it out. Your phone should now be unprovisioned... so it should try to OTA and that's that. If for some reason the "sktelecom" settings are still set... try running NV RESTORE one more time. If it STILL isn't fixed after that.. let me know. There are a few things we can do. Last night I messed my NV and EFS up pretty bad(sorta on purpose lol) but I was able to recover from everything. Even Korea mode.
Thanks man it worked perfectly
I tried updating profile and it did restore my username but not my 3g

prime glad to see you have this phone. I follow your work on previous phones
I'm getting mine in a few days.
Question:
How do I backup NV? Where does it back up the items to? Internal memory?
Is it the same as backing up. NV 1192, 465, 466, and 1194?

Is it the same as backing up. NV 1192, 465, 466, and 1194?

hmm good question. to be honest im not sure where it backs up the files. pretty sure theyd still be in NV somewhere.
what you should do is connect gs3 to qxdm.. send 16-digit pass(same as epic/e4gt/etc).. then close qxdm and open up QPST EFS Explorer. All NV items will be unlocked in NVM > NUM. i think thats the folder anyway.. doing this all from memory. but ya... 1192 etc will now be viewable in EFS EXP when you send pw in QXDM first. No more "denied access" in CDMA WS
@auto
Have you figured out LTE is simply a MAC ID authentication?
Can we change LTE Macs and be connected like WIMAX?
Was going to do this as well
But the first 2 posts after the op's were my exact motivation in changing my mind. I had a feeling people would b ****n there **** up playin in it lol. Nevertheless, nice job OP, looks sharp. Well detailed too
anyone know where the settings are for MMS?
I'm trying to figure out how to send MMS on MetroPCS. on the Evo's I used a APN method, but apparently ICS doesn't allow 3rd party apps to write to APN. so I'm trying to enter the values manually. got into the DATA menu, entered a couple of the values, but a few other other values from that APN file are nowhere to be found in the DATA menu...and QPST refuses to see my phone?
any info on this would be great!
USCC
autoprime I have a USCC phone and have had no luck backing up the IMEI using the conventional QPST method. I have been searching Sprints info because some have had a similar problem.
When I try QPST it stops at 16% and says: "Roaming Lists could not be read".
Tried multiple times no luck.
I made a short cut to my hidden menus and everything looks to be the same as the OP.
My IMEI is currently fine.
That being the case is there a way to make a good backup now and restore it if things go bad? If this is possible can the backup be accessed and stored on a pc?
My goal is to find a way to back up the IMEI for myself and other USCC sg3 users. Any help would be very appreciated.

Which QPST program exactly is giving you this error? Also, random question for you... do the USCC Samsung devices have a 16 digit password that's used in QXDM? All Verizon Samsung's share the same password.. all Sprint Samsung's share the same password. You guys are kinda similar to Verizon's right.. same radio and all? so you know if 2010031619780721 works? Do you have QXDM or CDMA WS installed? Need to be able to send that password to the phone to fully unlock. then we'll work on backing up IMEI.

Are you referring to the NV RESTORE TestMode options? If so, I know of no current method to save that backup to a PC.
The TestMode NV RESTORE option should be pretty solid... if your phone boots.. you should be able to get to that menu. Same would be needed to get to QPST(booting phone).
So get back to me on which QPST app you're trying.. and what exactly is giving you the error... as well as any info on a 16 digit QXDM password.
Hey autoprime, i changed the korea mode on my phone before ever reading your warning. I have no data connection unless im on WiFi. Is it related to my change, if so do you or anyone have any idea how to fix it. Please. Im on freezas jelly bean leak lih

sorry for the delay in response. i assume you got this fixed?
Post #6 on the first page of this thread has a fix if you messed with korea mode. you may need to go back to ICS for this instead of Jellybean.
ATT: NAM BLOCK;
the Mobile Object Model (MOM) can be categorized as PRL and NAM, with the NAM blocks existing as several different types. For example, the MDN NAM block holds the directory number for calling the mobile. The CDMA NAM block holds parameters used when the mobile is operating in the PCS spectrum. The Dual Mode NAM block holds parameters used by a PCS or CDMA mobile while it is being used in the CDMA/analog spectrum. The IMSI_T block holds the true IMSI of the mobile station
hope this helps.

Most noteworthy edits include LTE only mode, LTE/CDMA mode(no 3G) and NV BACKUP/RESTORE. Nice little all-in-one shortcut for most of the hidden menus on this device.
If there is another thread on this in the Sprint Galaxy S III forums I apologize. Just going to outline this menu which is found on stock Sprint GS3 Touchwiz roms.
Getting Started
You can use Any Cut, Better Cut, Nova Launcher etc etc to make a shortcut to this menu.
1. Better Cut > New ShortCut > No > All Activities > IOTHiddenMenu(first one listed).
2. Any Cut > ?
3. Nova Launcher > Long press on home screen > Shortcuts > Activities > Scroll to IOTHiddenMenu and click it to expand > Scroll down to the first IOTHiddenMenu in that list(under GPSCLRX)
Now we can open our new shortcut and you should see the following screen...
USBSetting Menu
This menu switches the phone's USB mode when connected to a computer.
MTP (Media Transfer Protocol; device shows up as USB drive)
MTP + ADB (default setting; should be self-explanatory)
PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol; device shows up as camera)
PTP + ADB (should be self-explanatory)
RMNET + DM + MODEM (RMNet = USB virtual Ethernet framework; DM = Diagnostic Mode; Modem = self-explanatory)
DM + MODEM + ADB (self-explanatory) (best setting when using QPST/QXDM/etc)
LTE Mode Menu
I do not have LTE in my area yet. Could anyone detail what some of the options below do exactly? I'm sure one is for LTE only.
TestMode Menu > CDMA > COMMON > NEXT PAGE > NEXT PAGE > PREF MODE SET may be the better alternative to this.
LTE Service Forced
Enable LTE Mode
Enable GLOBAL Mode
Enable CDMA Mode (default)
TestMode Menu
1. UMTS
UMTS > COMMON > NV REBUILD (NV REBUILD, NV BACKUP, NV RESTORE)
Everything else under UMTS either doesn't work.. or isn't worth messing with.
2. CDMA
CDMA > COMMON > NEXT PAGE > NEXT PAGE > PREF MODE SET (CDMA/EVDO/LTE, GSM/WCDMA, LTE ONLY, CDMA/LTE, CDMA ONLY, EVDO ONLY)
Everything else under CDMA either doesn't work.. or isn't worth messing with.
3. LTE
Nothing of interest.. just displays LTE debug status.
4. SIM
SIM > CHECK NV (Helps identify possible incorrect settings. Displays current PREF MODE. NV should be set under RTRE Config.)
Not worth messing with anything else in here.
5. run EFS SYNC()
Doesn't do anything.
There are lots of other options in here to mess with but most are broken, not supported or just really not worth messing with. All the MSL settings for example... no matter what.. I can't seem to read/write a new MSL via Test Mode. CDMA > CONTROL > MSL Edit has broken my MSL. *Update* Fixed MSL. I also messed up my EFS playing with the wrong stuff. I was able to recover.. but BE CAREFUL!!

To get to the APNs on ICS, use Titanium Backup to make the APN Backup and Restore app a system app, reboot, then in APN Backup and Restore, check the box to bypass ICS check. You should be good to go.

OMG, you have saved my sanity with this post! I've been pretty good at flashing and programming my family's phones and some for friends but most of those have been HTC units. I didn't think twice when I got a killer deal on a couple of 32GB GSIII's but trying to program these for our service has just about had me sticking my head in the oven more than once. One of the issues was that it seemed to depend on the handset's mood as to whether or not it would accept a code input via the keypad. I didn't even think of using a launcher to create a master shortcut like you have here. I'm still not quite there as far as getting these things programmed the way I want them but this post cut my irritation factor in half! Having said that, I'm still seriously considering tossing somebody a few bucks if they'd just do these for me. I love figuring things out and working on things like this as great puzzles but the hours I've put into these so far have kept me from getting actual work done. Are Samsungs always 50% hellspawns to work with?
Anyway, thanks again and thanks to everyone else who has posted great info on these phones. Part of me really wants to get a GalaxyNote II but another part of me is threatening suicide if I even think about wanting to program one!
Sprint GS3 CDMA. (SPH-L710) running android 4.1.1 and it is rooted and has CWM installed.
better cut 3.3 can not make a shortcut to the UI screens as only apps and widgets go there now since we are ICS and JB
what app to use?
or can i access the hiddenmenu another way?
i guess we sprint users dont need the shortcut as that menu for "USB Settings" is already there
##3424# lets me see that menu and i can easily select MTP, ADB and DB and all the rest.
so this isnt a problem anymore
thanks

[HOW-TO] Flash Sprint Galaxy S3 to metropcs with 3G speeds..

Hi there every one I have been flashing phones to metro PCS for a while now But this is my first How to. I'm going to show you how to flash your sprint/Verizon Galaxy S3 to metropcs or cricket, with 3g data working.
What you'll need:
DFS demo mode will do. But if you can, make a small donation.
Samsung drivers. Just download keys from http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
metropcs Prl 3032 from here http://metroprl.blogspot.com/
WARNING!! YOUR PHONE MUST BE IN METROPCS INVENTORY IN ORDER TO GET SERVICE, YOU CAN FLASH YOUR PHONE ALL DAY BUT IF YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR ESN IN METROPCS DATA BASE THEN YOU WON'T GET SERVICE NO MATER WHAT YOU DO. UNDERSTOOD?
One of the first things you'll need is to get your phones MSL number, this is the number you'll need to get access to your phones secret menu. The method i am about to show you was discovered by billard412 this post, http://metroprl.blogspot.com/ if you have a verizon your MSL is 000000
Now lets get that MSl (you must be rooted) download terminal emulator or the, Get my msl app from market. Now on your dial pad type ##3282# now you'll have a screen with vie or edit click on edit, now open terminal emulator or the app, if you are using terminal type: su then enter---now type-- getprop ril.MSL then enter you might get a nothing back or you might get the number.
ps: if you are on JL13 you won't be able to get it downgrade your base-band.
if you didn't get nothing back go the the screen that asks for your msl and type any 6 digit number when it sais wrong code go back to the terminal and re type the comand and wala. If you use the app same steps just whith the app.
Now that you have your MSL open DFS, now go to your phones dial pad and dial *#7284# and select qualcome USB Setting, now select the last option DM+MODEM+ADB and plug in your usb to your pc. I normally open device manager to see what port my phone is, I sugest you do the same.
Now that you know what port your phone is on DFS click on the port tab and select your port now find the MSL or SPC space and enter your MSL then hit the play button to the left, now that your phone is unlocked we are ready to make changes.look at my images so you can compare.
Click on the programming Tab
Now hit the read button and change the MIN number MIN D , SPC, and MND number for the one provided by metropcs.
Now look to the right is the PRL section click on the load button look for the prl the click on the write button, now on the reset button and your phone will reset, I like to do it one step at a time. Now test out the PRL by going to settings about. or just dial *611 from phone and you should get metropcs. If you didn't, make sure that the mid has changed.
Onece you have that Down re hook up your phone to DFS like before click on te program tab and now on the Data tab. Change settings to match my pics and to get your password use this http://www.whiterabbit.org/android/ to calculate your metropcs MSL just type in your ESN . Once you have it hit write.
Now click on the mobile ip tab and hit read change setting to match pic in the AAA and the HA put in your metropcs MSL ,then hit both of the write buttons, and then the reset button, wala your almost done.
next step set data setting within the phone to stream youtube, Pandora and other multimedia apps that need streaming with in cricket or metropcs
dial ##data# press on edit and enter the spc code you wrote down press on others press on multimedia rtsp proxy port to 0 then press on back.
MMS: follow this guide by Max_pain: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875760 you will need a file from there make sure to thank him.
This is the biggest hurdle, which very few people have successfully gotten to work. It is not a perfect solution but it works very well for us.
Download the following Zip file (not flashable):
Follow these instructions carefully:
1. Download and install Titanium Backup. You will also need the PRO version, so you'll need to shell out a couple of bucks if you don't already own it. It's well worth it anyways.
2. Download and install APN Backup & Restore from the Market.
3. Open APN Backup & Restore, ignore the ICS warning, and click on "Backup APNs". Exit out of APN Backup & Restore.
4. Place this folder in your SD Card.
5. Copy MetroPCS_MMS_Send_APN.xml from this folder to the APN Backup folder in the root of the SD Card.
6. Open Titanium Backup, go under Backup/Restore, and find APN Backup & Restore, press and select "Make system app."
7. Open APN Backup & Restore, ignore the ICS warning, press menu, and disable ICS check. Exit APN Backup & Restore.
8. Open APN Backup & Restore again, and now there should not be an ICS warning!
9. Click on "Delete APNs."
10. Click on Restore APNs and select "MetroPCS_MMS_Send.APN.xml".
10a. Press Ok after selecting the above.
10b. Press No when you get the message asking Yes or No.
11. Using Root Explorer or a similar app, copy the SecMMS.apk file from this folder to your /system/app/ folder.
11a. Make sure you are in R/W mode and click Yes to overwrite existing file if you get the message.
11b. Make sure to delete/overwrite any existing SecMms.apk from the /system/app directory. You should only have one SecMms.apk file.
11c. Make sure to delete any SecMms.odex if you're on the stock or an odexed rom.
12. Set permissions to RW-R--R--
13. Reboot.
14. Open the Messaging app and under Settings make sure to check (enable) "SMS split".

i tried this and dont know why my s3 keep saying Sprint and it dosent receive calls o text...
Can you please please help me if i do something wrong
Working Talk Text and Data
I literally got my talk text and data working 2 min ago. I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 that I now am using on Metro PCS.
What I did,
Step 1.
Install Samsung Drivers
Install Kies (To update: I was on 4.1.1 now I'm running 4.1.2)
Step 2.
Root Samsung Galaxy S3. I used Casual one click (It's literally one click)
- Google search key phrase 'root verizon samsung galaxy s3 casual one click'
Step 3.
Now you should have SuperSU
Download
1. APN Manager- I have APN Manager Pro
2. Titanium Backup
Step 4.
I used Titanium Backup to uninstall all the Verizon bloatware, and overall junk I don't use. With removing bloatware click on backup/restore then select and hold APN Manager Pro (or whatever) and select convert to system app.
Step 5.
If not updated to 4.1.2, do so. - You'll need to have the ability to add an APN, only possible with 4.1.2.
I bypassed setting the language etc. with the four corners technique. Google Keyword: 'android four corners trick'
Step 6.
I went out and activated a MetroPCS plan, and got a simcard. At this point I could make and receive calls and text, but no data or mms.
Step 7.
From APN Manager Pro I clicked insert new APN. this can also be done from settings -> More settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> More options soft key: Add new access point. (Updating from phone settings in my opinion is simpler)
Step 8.
New APN
Name: "fast.t-mobile.com" (You can put whatever you want)(without quotes)
APN : "fast.t-mobile.com" (without quotes)
MMSC: "htetep:mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc" (without quotes.Sorry i think you understand what i mean, please put in the letters and not htetep)
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
make sure APN is enabled is checked
Everything else has 'Not set', my APN protocol also says IPv4
Step 9.
Close settings completely
Go back to settings --> Access Point Names to make sure it is still there. Select it if not selected already.
Step 10.
Power off
pull out battery and sim card
wait 10 sec
power on
Step 11.
Enjoy data and mms.
Thank you guys for the instructions, I think I'm about to do the same for my Verizon S3.
But before I do, can you guys post what kind of speed you're getting on the new Metro(GSM)/T-Mobile 3G network?
I remember MetroPCS original 3G on CDMA was horrible and I just want to make sure the Verizon S3 won't suffer the same faith.
Thanks again in advance for you input!
Has anyone tried this with either JB? My phone is on the 4.3 update and I was wondering if it will work.

Your post is very promising to me since I'm looking to do the exact same thing and not looking forward to the complicated process detailed in the OP. I have a few clarifying questions I hope you don't mind answering for me:
1) Are you limited to 2G and 3G only, or are you able to have 4G/LTE connections?
2) Sorry to oversimplify your method, but boiled down, it sounds like you accomplished exactly what I want to do more or less by simply rooting, debloating, and changing the APN settings. Is this accurate? (Yes I've read your post all the way through five times+, I get there are certain important details to follow, but is my summary correct?)
3) I get the feeling you won't be able to answer this one, but worth a shot: Do you have any idea if this will work if the Verizon S3 came with KitKat (4.4.2) installed? Exhaustive research tells me it's impossible to downgrade android versions from this version.
Thanks for sharing this, and hopefully any answers you can give me. I'll be updating my post on whether or not it works for me when I try later
You are correct, root + debloat, change APN settings. When I had the phone I was limited to 3g speeds. I was still able to use maps, and surf without pulling my hair out. Although, most everywhere I went had wifi so I just ended up using that. As far as number 3, I am not sure. I no longer have the phone. Does the APN show up in network settings now? Could you just try the settings above? You could check if casual one click supports 4.4.2. If it does, you could give it a shot. I didn't have to use it, but if anything goes wrong use ODIN to restore your phone.
My sprint Samsung s3 has no card slot, and I'm with metro, can I use this method and get my metro plan on my s3??? Please need help!!!

Sprint LG G6 (LS993) Dial Codes

I've been testing this phone for a while and it seems like a lot of the menus have been disabled. I'm creating a list of what works and what doesn't in these next few posts.
Note: I do not provide any support with the use of these codes. The thread is for documentation purposes.
What works:
5689#*993# (HiddenMenu) - Device Testing Menu
##27263# (##BRAND#) - Removes any carrier branding and redetects the carrier based on (NV registry/RUIM/SIM?).
Note: Useful if flashing to Boost Mobile or similar carrier.
##72786# (##?????#) - Resets provisioning and makes phone reactivate.
Useful if you are having network issues. Sprint recommends this if you ever change your services or phone number.

##27263# Removes any branding (sprint) and resets phone to update branding. (useful if flashing to boost or other carrier) (##BRAND#) Reboots phone.
##72786# Resets provisioning and makes phone reactivate. Useful if you are having network issues. Sprint recommends this if you ever change your services or phone number. Reboots phone.

##72786# stands for ##SCRTN# which my best guess is sprint carrier return. or in other words carrier settings reset.

Try taking out the sim card and booting up. Then reinsert the sim card and reboot.

Did you solved it? same problem here!
If you have invalid sim on another carrier, try inserting the sprint sim and going to system update menu, then hit unlock uicc and it will reboot, then again go to system update and hit update profile then update prl. Then power off and insert the other sim and it should recognize it. Tell me if it works.

You have to get the UICC Profile Update from Sprint.... Call the International Team or chat with them online and ask to be UICC unlock, if asked why, you're about to travel abroad... This UICC Update might affect the Domestic Unlock. At one point my device was domestically unlock, but now it isn't. (Maybe because I did a hard reset.) **Never Reset After Unlock, I learned the hard way lol
Shortcut master lite works i had the same problem

Thanks I got it unlocked finally again from sprint...
Other sims are working fine..
When I insert ATT sim card then if network mode is automatic then it shows 3G always and speed is too low tested with speedtest. If I change network mode to LTE-CDMA option then speed test is 4-5mbps but then calling does not work.. When i dial any no with LTE-CDMA mode then it says sim is not valid or there is no sim.
Will ATT not work fully with LTE on automatic mode on sprint LG G6?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Unable to edit Sprint APN settings on Galaxy S9

Back on the S8 I was able to add "dun" to the end of the apn data profile for tethering but they are grayed out on the S9. I tried shortcut master and while I can get to it I just can't edit it. Anyone know of a way to do so? I'd like to have unlimited tethering and also if there's a way to turn off the throttling that would be great as well.

Nothing yet. As far as I know, you could flash the U firmware and that would allow it. I have been looking through some adb commands as well, trying to see if we could do it that way.
I went to add one and was finally able to select that one I added and I made sure to put the "dun" at the end and so far so good

Can you try step 1-8 on this please? I know it says s7 edge but this also worked on s8 and now i'm wondering if it works on the s9. Thanks.

Tried that. No luck
How are you trying to edit the value? I was able to change it on my Sprint S9+ using Shortcut Master Lite.
There's a thread in the 9+ forum where one person said he had to try several times (using SML) before it actually worked.

I actually have it working now, using a modified version of the ABD command.
Gonna let it sit for a bit, it it keeps working, I'll post it.
Copying from my post in the other thread about this.
Serfrost said:
I have tried every random HiddenMenu shortcut, I have tried ADB CMD and trying to rewrite the APN by hand, I have tried going into the settings and going through Mobile Networks, I have tried mounting /system in the recovery menu, I looked into changing the CSC because it's linked to APN locking... I've literally tried it all.
PDANet+, FoxFi, EasyTether, ClockworkMod Tether ... none of them would work. They would automatically be stuck at 2mbps instead of my normal 30 to 40. Hiding tether/hotspot this way was NOT an option at all.
Specifically on my Sprint S9 and another S9+, I had to do it in this order:
1) Open the Shortcut Master Lite and open LTEFunctionalityTest
2) Open LTE APN Setting
3) Open an APN you want to change.
3) If it's greyed out, close everything and then restart from #1.
4) Edit APN Type, add ",dun" to the end.
5) When done editing, save, and you should be good to go.
If that doesn't work even after trying repeatedly (make sure Shortcut Master Lite is completely closed, etc) ... then you can try the following which allowed me to edit the APN on a sister Sprint S9+ phone:
1) Dialer App, ##3282# (DATA)
2) Edit
3) Sprint MSL for mine is 000000
4) APN Settings
5a) "APN" and "APN protocol" should be editable. Make a minor change, save your APN.
5b) Then change them back, save the APN again. Do this for each APN you want full access to.
6) Open the Shortcut Master Lite and open LTEFunctionalityTest
7) Open LTE APN Setting
8) If it's greyed out, close everything and then restart from #6.
9) Edit APN Type, add ",dun" to the end.
10) After you finish editing, save, and you should be good to go.
Note: You might want to do this for both APNs as one is for LTE & one is for Roaming.
Consider this working on a Sprint S9+ & Sprint S9 Snapdragon SM-G960U - 8.0.0 Oreo Build Feb 10th

I had to do this a third time after Factory Resetting my phone, the second set of steps let me do this very quickly.
Do not update your PRL or Profile in System Update, this will wipe out your changes.
This..............
1) Dialer App, ##3282# (DATA)
2) Edit
3) Sprint MSL for mine is 000000
4) APN Settings
5a) "APN" and "APN protocol" should be editable. Make a minor change, save your APN.
5b) Then change them back, save the APN again. Do this for each APN you want full access to.
6) Open the Shortcut Master Lite and open LTEFunctionalityTest

8) If it's greyed out, close everything and then restart from #6.
9) Edit APN Type, add ",dun" to the end.
10) After you finish editing, save, and you should be good to go.
That worked for me...to a T!

Using this method, APN is not editable for me. But the Shortcut Master Lite method worked fine. Maybe this would work if I hadn't already changed it via SML?

Trying to get hotspot bypass working... PDAnet works, but is spotty. I have edited my APN's successfully (I had to rename before I could edit). As well as added the ADB commands. I sort of have hotspot working...
When I disable M.data and enable hotspot AND am connected to WiFi, it enables and allows me to re-enable M.data. Hotpot will continue to work indefinately.... until I leave the WiFi connection. Then the Sprint M.data connects and tells me i am not subscribed to Hotspot service. If I am not in a WiFi area when I re-enable M.data, then it instantly goes to the hotspot subscription error.
EDIT: I just reconnected my phone to check settings in adb. The settings were reset to defaults:
tether_dun_required is '1'
tether_dun_apm is 'null'
If you turn on tethering while connected to wifi, you're not really tethering. You're just sharing the WiFi connection.

I could not share the WiFi connection before I added dun to the APNs.
The real problem appears to be that the ADB settings edits are being reset somehow.
not working with Android 9 (PIE) update
Has any been able to figure out how to open the com.test.LTEfunctionality on Android Pie
I was able to edit the apn before using Quick Shortcut maker but now the com.test.LTEfunctionality cannot be opened.

Apn settings greyed out
Turn off mobile network and connect to a wifi network(i used my printer wifi network which doesnt internet . I dont know if u can use any wifi or not) i restarted my phone a used mastershortcut and apn is editable again

Unlock network bands, enable voLTE and 5G on nonsupported countries

Hi,
Other phone models can use EFS Tool, QPST tool to do all the mentioned tasks.
And some phones to do that requires rooting phone since they dont have Engineering mode, and some with Engineering mode support doesnt need rooting to use the mentioned tools for example OnePlus phone.
So my question, does LG phone also has this thing called Engineering mode? since LG wing is not supported for bootloader unlocking by LG yet.
Anyone has more experience with LG phone and perhaps the mentioned tool can shed some lights on the concern? Thanks.
Goid app. Well made
on LM-F100EMW,
1) use dialer code #*462633*#100#
2) go to Field Test > LTE Data Test > Tethering Mode, and select QMICM
3) go all the way back to first menu and go to SVC Menu> Port Check Test> Port Check Test and select enable
after that I am able to connect QPST. I used EFS explorer to fix CA-combos and carrier policy for my region/provider.
After doing your work, revert the changes to have a regular USB connection!!
for VOLTE first try to
1) make a new file or folder with name "enable_ue" (without quotes) on your phone's internal storage.
2) use dialer code #*462633*#100#
3) go to Field Test> Universal Enabler > Create New Config , enable VoLTE and confirm.
to add VOLTE indicator next to battery and signal strength on notification bar
1) use dialer code #*462633*#100#
2) go to Field Test > GPRI VoLTE/VoWiFi > IMS> select Sim Slot > Registration > VoLTE > and enable VoLTE Indication.
after all these
1) use dialer code #*462633*#100#
2) go to Field Test> IMS Settings> select Sim Slot > Test > Restart IMS process > select Yes
now you should have VoLTE enabled with notification bar indication

For volte i didnt change anything from EFS.
The changes i did in EFS was to add 5G for any carrier, because my carrier was not supported, and also to take the CA string from another phone's firmware, that my carrier has good support, and paste it where the outdated ca string was inside my wing's EFS.

When i go to field test and click on ims settings it is showing not supported. I formated my phone and it became like this. Before formatting it used to work and I could see ims settings.

When I go to field menu in my Lg Wing, I go to IMS settings, it is completely blank. Someone please help me in registering the Volte in my Lg Wing. I am already rooted by able to patch the stock boot.img using magisk. My phone came with an unlocked bootloader and its the European firmware. I am trying to use this phone in Asia (Malaysia). Surprisingly, when I got the phone from the seller, it was not enabled volte but IMS settings in field menu would also show up (unlike now when I go there and it is blank), and also surprisingly, my volte worked also but by mistake I formatted my phone and after that it never worked. I then tried to flash the stock firmware and did root, installed voenabler but nothing seems to be helping.
I even tried loading mbn files of different carriers via PDC but no help. IMS settings always stay blank and volte doesn't get activated. Such a good phone but not able to work because my carrier here only supports volte.
If someone has an interest in helping, will be great.
