Hey guys, I have a Desire CDMA that was on US Cellular. They claim that the ESN has been released from their network. I have rooted the phone with no problems. Page Plus was able to add it to their network fine but it just will not activate. Verizon, of course, is no help either. Should I find a stock 2.1 and re-flash?
I see people selling Page Plus Desires so I'm needing to know what I'm missing. I did get a guy on the phone who told me the phone needed to be "Manually Programmed". I also went to a Page Plus dealer and he gave me a DUH look when I asked him about it.
I have also installed CyanogenMod V7.0.0 RC2 without any problems what so ever... I just need to change the Network to Verizon instead of US Cellular.
[Edit] I have found out that I need to change the SID number, anyone know where to do this?
Any ideas would be very helpful!
TIA!!
[Edit] I have also discovered the *#*#4636#*#* trick but the OEM info at the bottom of the screen is grayed out... I dont know if this is where you change the SID #? The ##PROGRAM trick did not work but I have already flashed the CyanogenMod so maybe that is why this didn't work?
[Edit3] I found this but the ##PROGRAM is not working, is there another number to get into programming?
-Tap the Phone Icon and dial ##7764726 then tap phone icon
-SPC Password is 000000 and tap verify
-select User Activation
-Tap MIN Box and delete existing info and add your MIN *
-Enter MDN as well
-Find SID # and input it here **
-Press Done to save info an return to user activation and then press Home key and phone should reset after programming
so this does work? and do they give you the numbers you need to enter?
Let me guess...
You've discovered some hidden menus recently by typing codes in the dialer and find out this one: *#*#4636#*#* that open a "Testing" screen showing options like this:
Phone Information
Battery Information
Usage Statistics
Wi-Fi Information
Then you went to Phone Information
Tried some options (maybe played with SMSC:_________Update / Refresh ) but that was not doing anything so you exited the menu.....
after a while you wanted to send a text or someone was asking you "Did you got my text?" and you didn't....
Here's what hapened: Accidentaly you erased from your phone the "Messaging Center Number" wich is responsible for giving your phone the access to the SMS/MMS central of your provider.....resulting in loosing the ability to send/receive messages.
Don't worry, after having navigated XDA Forums I finally found my way to make it work again (yes that's because I did it that I now now it).
By the way, even if you Factory reset, flash a new rom/radio/kernel that mistake is gonna stay. You need to enter the number again.
in the *#*#4636#*#* hidden menu,
scroll down to "SMSC:"
in the box type: 0791715097960300
press the "Update" / "Mettre à Jour" (first button)
Now exit and Reboot the phone.
To test it, don't try to resend an old test message as it contain old message center number. I even suggest to delete previous text messages from your inbox if possible.
If it worked, everything should be fine by now. (you can even kudo me for this loll)
NOTE:
The real Roger Center number is +17057969300
the thing is that it need to be Encrypted in Hexadecimal PDU format.

That was for Orange Network (european have 8 number to phone number instead of 7 so I had to add a 0 at the end to make it work for Rogers)
after Encryption the number was now: 0791715097960300
This worked for ROGERS, the trick could maybe work for other networks but I can not validate the info. (but for sure this will not be the same number)
This had been tested with stock rom and Custom Rom With Custom Radio and Custom Kernel.
If this helped you, please give credit to this post ;-)

Easier way to do it without mucking around looking for your SMSC. It's how I got mine up and going again!

Hey man, this might be a bit old for you but i just got a galaxy nexus. I am having the outgoing text issue. I've tried that number and everytime i hit update it just says update error. Think you mightbe able to help me?
Damn this doesn't work for me
To program the SMSC (Text Messaging) number on Android devices, please follow these steps:
Go to the phone application.
From the phone application, press *#*#4636#*#*. (You will have to press the Call or Send button after entering this code in for some Android devices).
Tap on Phone Information
Scroll to the bottom to where it says SMSC and enter this number exactly as you see on this page (including all symbols): +17057969300
Press Update.
Hi there,
I know this has been asked and answered a million times, but I cannot find my MSI number anywhre in this phone.
The main reason is whe I goto - ##DATA#, hit edit, there is no screen that pops up to have me enter a wrong MSI number, so I can't fetch the real one with any of the apps. I can't enter the wrong MSI number anywhere in the phone.
My device is rooted, and I am trying to flash it to cricket.
Any idea if here is another place to enter the MSI number so it comes back invalid so I can use the programs to get the real one?
Any other way to get one? Do you have any idea why when I goto the data menu, theMSI # screen won't come up?
Thanks
Also,
Is there just a step by step guide where I can look to flash Cricket to a VZW Note 2? I'm trying with a few but the MSI is not working with DFW program.
Any special steps to flash to Cricket from a Verizon phone?
Hi All,
I have an LG G4 through T-Mobile. 277634#*# gets me to a hidden menu, but not the device testing one. The “For T-Mobile – 3845#*851#” code didn’t work, and neither did replacing 851 with my phone’s model number, 811. Is there no service menu in my phone, or is there some trick not listed here to access it? Thanks in advance.
ive tried many ways ive read on these forums to make it to hwere i canuse att data on this 526 prepaid, but nothing has worked. please help me. non rooted but soon will have the right sd card to pull off the amazing phish sd trick.i got to the point where it asks me to enter format:mccmnc but it only allows numbers to be input.. i thought that is where i enter the att web address, but i was wrong about that one..any help would be much apprecited.
thanks
All you have to do is:
-power off device
-insert GSM compatible SIM
-power on device
-navigate to Settings->Mobile Data->GSM/UMTS Options->Access Point Names
-in the 3 dot context menu at the top right of the APNs settings screen, you should have the option to create a new APN
Worked on mine without root. I'm rooted, now; still works.
