Hello all,
Last night, I tried updating my Rom on a sprint mogul to the recent dcd 2.2.6 and 3.27 radio.
I followed the steps of taking down the information, finding my unlock code, unlocking, and updating both roms.
It went with no problems. However my MSID was reset so i had to enter my unlock code that i got from get spc. before i reflashed my device, i checked to see if the code worked by trying to enter and edit epst.
But in windows 6.1 the unlock code didnt work, my msid and mdn were set to all 0.
I called sprint they gave me the same unlock code that didnt work.
So i tried reflashing back to the original sprint official release, that didnt work, i was getting an error 328 from the ruu.
I tried reflashing again dcd 2.2.6 rom, that worked but the radio wouldnt flash due to the same invalid command error 328 from the ruu.
So for a while i was stuck on the htc splash screen with a no radio display. I found a thread with a solution to the same problem. I flashed the leaked sprint rom 3.16, that worked and i was able to get up and running.
However in epst mode my hex and dec esn are all zeros. my original unlock code doesnt work, (the one from sprint), but when i enter in all 0 in getspc it generates the proper unlock code,
but i still can not connect to the sprint network even tho i am able to set my msid and msn to the correct values, my esn is still wrong (displays all zeros)
Can any please tell me if i can fix this, I was on the phone with sprint for 2 hrs with no avail. I need to set my esn on the phone to match my esn in hardware
Thank you,
Kevin
Okay, if I read your post right you do have your MSL number (unlock code) right? If you do, go to your keypad on the phone and dial ##3282# (##DATA#). It should ask you if you want to view or edit. Choose edit and type in your MSL number. On the main screen there should be an option on the left softkey that says "View Info". Choose that and then select "Advanced". At the top I believe you can edit your ESN number.
Hope that helps.

thank you for your reply.
I do have my unlock code. the ##data# shows the esn in advanced settings, but the box is greyed out and will not allow me to edit it.
It still shows 00000000.
Thank you, any other ideas, maybe a registy edit?
It sounds like something happened during the flash process. I talked to a PCS rep and they said you would have to bring it in and get it swapped. I can't think on any other way to get that info updated. Sorry.
no there is another way, you can sniff for the spc, the original thread about getspc had directions @ ppcgeeks

I went to a sprint tech and they said they i had to replace the phone, and they would order me a new one. but right now i have to wait the warehouse doesnt have any instock.
there is another way however, if it was erased by software, it can be changed by software.
I did not find anything relevant on the link above, i will keep looking through it. If someone could point me in a closer direction.
I do have my unlock code, currently all zeros, so im not looking to get my MSL number, im looking to change my ESN back to what it was, somehow it was set to all 0's during the rom update process.
Thank you,
Kevin
Perhaps you should change the thread title to something more specific to separate yourself from the masses who can't boot because they didn't upgrade their radio.
Perhaps try an RTN reset? This is a hard reset that erases provisioning data. I don't know if it can restore an ESN, but worth a try.

Is it just me or does something seem wrong with this quote. Read the instructions here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17667
The phone needs to have the unlocker program run to install a custom rom. The code from GetSPC allows you to edit the settings not unlock your phone.

Look i dont need any smart comments.
Well actually for your information, the MSL code is used to unlock your phone. the unlocker program is used to unlock your bootloader to accept a custom rom.
MSL - master subsidy lock, this locks network settings so that a user can not change them, the code given by getspc is stored in nV ram on the phone and is used to gain access to these files, thus "unlocking" the phone. unlocking the bootloader is another story...
anywho, i was able to get my phone working, i reprogrammed my esn, reprogrammed my MSL from all zeros to the proper value, and now my phone is back on the sprint network.
if you guys are interested i will write a tutorial on how i did this, just to respond to the other post, a hard reset does not restore esn data.
Good for you! I'm glad you figured it out. I would be interested on how you got it working again.

This would be a handy bit of knowledge as they go thru great lengths to keep it from being done. Ususally the filesystem for that section of the phone is locked and protected, requiring the QXDM (Qualcomm Extensible Diagnostic Monitor) software to get in. I have an older version that I used to use to play with older phones and it worked great, but a newer one would be needed for these phones. Old style glitch corruption will mess up any filesystem and even mess up protected areas, which is likely what happened to yours. I would love to know how you did it without QXDM ;-)Thanks.

Krazeintentz,
I would be very interested in your final fix for this problem. The exact same thing happened to me a while back and my only way out at the time was a replacement titan under warranty from vzw.
If we had your steps to recovery then we would be a lot closer to having a disaster recovery wiki.
As another poster said, yours was a real rom flashing problem as opposed to the numerous "brick" cases that we see everyday from just half done flashes. So it makes it all the more relevant that we have a wiki for this problem.
Regards
Since he has not said, heres a theory
The filesystem is protected from editing in the address range where the ESN resides. The QXDM software shows the actual file structure of the chipsets flash and the files have actual attributes and the ESN file is read only, so the EPST is not supposed to be able to edit the ESN (as this would be cloneing a phone and not legal). If you follow the steps in a flash memory update, you would see that the contents of these protected files are read, saved, and then the flash is totally erased, then written with the new revision, and finally the protected storage is written and the attribute is set to read only. The QXDM is required to manually unlock these attributes, but there is a key that allows the flash utility to erase the stuff. if the flash was interrupted either by hardware or software error at the point after the erase and writeback but before the write of protected file area, the ESN would be blank and also the EPST in the phone would be able to edit it in edit mode because the attribute is the very last thing written. I bet thats how he fixed it and now has a cloneable phone too and can change his ESN any time he wants, at least until he flashes the radio again which will fix the glitch by process. Thats probably what he did.
Hey guys Im a noob and im having a bit of problems

Hey all, I'm fairly new to cdma flashing but I jumped in head first after reading what I could. I successfully flashed, but i have two questions... skip to ** for the question.
I have a 6800 through a local carrier (Appalachian Wireless) and since I wasn't concerned if I messed the phone up I decided to flash it. I unlocked it, updated the bootloader to 2.40 and flashed it with the 3.56_3.42 sprint rom. I screwed up by not viewing my settings with EPST before the flash and I didn't stop the customization before it started. So after the flash my phone wouldn't make calls, but I got into EPST and changed my MSID back two my number and then the phone would make calls and send text. After that I flashed again with dcd 3.2.0 to get rid of the sprint rom.
**Now My data connection won't work, even after creating a new connection (#777 and I know the username and password for the data netowrk). Are there some settings in the EPST that I need to change back? Any suggestions on other fixes?
**I'm also not sure what carrier cab to use since my carrier isn't available to choose from. I have to use a cab to access EPST but I was wondering if there is a recommend cab to use for those of us whose carrier isn't available.
Reprovisioning Sprint Data Services
Start ---> Settings ---> Phone ---> Services Tab ---> Select "Internet" ---> Get Settings Button ---> Start
This will start the "Client Initiated IOTA" (Internet Over The Air) data Provisioning.
Let it run. It will download your settings from Sprint.
You may need to reboot afterwards.
Enjoy.

Brad - He's not on Sprint.... may I suggest you call you provider and tell them you had to do a hard reset and that you lost your settings in the process.... they should be able to tell you the EPST settings....
does your carrier require username and password for the #777 connection?
better yet, do you know anyone else with the phone? it would be nice to get a ROM dump from one that has not been flashed. if not, I can make a generic carrier cab.
as always... DCD very wise in the ways of the ppc.
Hey guys, thanks for the help. I managed to fix the data. First off, I just went with the Verizon cab. But to fix the data I found a guy at work who has the same phone (untouched) and got into his epst and copied all the settings one by one to my phone. Only remaining problem is my PRI is the sprint pri and my prl won't seem to update even after multiple *228 attempts. Its staying at 10000.

What do I need to do to get a ROM dump, I'd like to be able to add my carrier to your cab list. Let me know and I'll get what ya need!
Could you tell me what do you need to or how can I create a MetroPCS Carrier cab file?
Thank you very much.
MetroPCS doesn't have this phone. But I suppose all the information you need is right here:
http://www.howardforums.com/showpost.php?p=11879204&postcount=3
There is an explanation for the WEB connection settings and the MMS settings on ArcSoft.
Thanks again.-

how to you go about getting a rom dump? I am wanting to test with my Cellular South phone and would like to have a stock dump prior to loading anything else.
THANKS!

I went through and read everything in the Super Thread - twice.
I went through and flashed the stock Rogers ICS 4.0.4 rom to the phone and then rooted it by flashing the cwm kernal in the instructions. My phone is successfully rooted and it is not reverting to the stock android recovery.
I went through and disabled all the Rogers bloatware and restarted the phone and now it isn't enabling itself automatically. Score one for patience and good advice.
I use Petro Canada Mobility pay as you go. They are a reseller of Rogers and the price is right until my ISP launches their wireless service.
I went through and set the phone so that is uses gsm/wcdma bands only - no LTE as it isn't available in my province as of yet. I set up Petro Canada's APN settings and save. I restart the phone and the phone automatically defaults back to Rogers APN settings. The APN that I created is gone - *poof* I can't count how many times in the last 24 hours I have reset this phone
What the heck am I missing here cause I can't figure it out. Why won't it save my APN settings? I got the rest of the kinks worked out and now this??
Do the Bell and Telus versions of this phone have the same quirks cause if they don't, I'll gladly flash their roms.
Help please!
I would leave the network to auto.
When you make an APN and save it, then select it, it disappears?
Can you edit the default Rogers APN?
Is your phone carrier unlocked?

When I make an APN and and save it, it is fine until I restart the phone. The minute I restart the APN disappears. I can edit the Rogers APN and save the changes. When I restart, it reverts to it's default settings. It is not carrier unlocked. Because my mobility carrier is a reseller of Rogers, my sim card works with it. There was no need to unlock it.
It seems like you need to unlock it, because you can't use any other carrier's APN, you're locked on Rogers.
Have you rooted it? Since that is the cheaper route, maybe being rooted will let you permanently create the correct APN.
Yes I have it rooted. Still the same issue.
Run a good nandroid backup ....
Then enter the new APN into the device ....
Then delete the old APN , then reboot ...
If the new APN sticks, then run a new backup and delete the old one ...
These devices can be temperamental on occasion ....g
Edit :
And yes ...you may be locked at this point, and stuck on Rogers ...g
I went through and unlocked the phone, stuck in a Bell Sim card and it recognized it right away. I went through completely reset the phone again, entered in my APN settings, and restarted. The settings disappeared. I am told that the Bell, Rogers, and Telus variants are all the same so I am going to flash one of their roms on the phone to see if I have better luck.
Well I flashed a different rom - Bell and that fixed the issue. It was the stock rogers rom that was causing me grief.
So my next question is this - anyone have any ideas on what Rom is better? The Telus or the Bell one?
Ok folks. If you are like me, you searched all over the web didnt find a definitive answer on how to go about getting your HTC rezound to Pageplus.
I bought a used Rezound. It came with NO Verizon SIM card. No software updates to it. I read a lot, sounded like getting to the latest stock was a good idea as it usually fixes issues. Well, I promptly updated to the leaked global ICS rom. Go the rom from android police dated Aug 15.
So my rezound had locked stock global ICS rom, no SIM card. Here is how i flashed it to pageplus. Please follow the steps as mentioned, as i have stumbled too many times and got it working.
================================
Not a must but...
1. Dont upgrade your phone to ICS rom if you dont want to root your phone. As ICS blocks APN updates. Meaning if you need 3g on pageplus or any other carrier and you dont want to root your phone, dont upgrade. If you dont mind rooting your phone, you can just ignore this warning.
Requirements:
MIN and MDN Information:
You can get MIN and MDN by calling pageplus or follow steps below.
goto http://www.kittywireless.com/pageplus/phonestatusform.html
right at the bottom you can enter email and phone number. You will get an email with MIN and MDN information.
OS Requirement:
Windows 7 64bit or 32bit. No support for Linux, Mac or XP(??).
Software you will need:
1. HTC Sync http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-rezound-verizon/software-updates.
2. HTC Diag drivers. You can download from below.
3. QPST. http://conflipper.com/Software/QPST_2.7_366.rar
4. CDMA Workshop. You need the full version. Demo is not useful. There is an old 2.7 cracked version floating around in the web. That will do the job.
Steps to follow:
1. Install HTC Sync. This software will install HTC Sync and HTC Drivers. All you are looking for is HTC Drivers. So, as soon as installation is complete you can uninstall HTC Sync alone. They have seperate uninstallers.
2. Install HTC Diag drivers. Now, i hope you have access to Windows 7. These drivers didnt install in XP for me. it could work for you.
This step is crucial, without these drivers installed you wont be able to do anything.
i. Connect your phone to PC.
ii. Just leave it on charge mode. The HTC drivers you installed in previous step should recognize the phone.
iii. Goto the dialer in phone. dial ##3424. press call. This should put the phone in DM mode.
iv. Win 7 will try to find the drivers and fail. If you open the device manager (or short cut just run devmgmt.msc), you should see the
2 devices with no drivers. HTC DIAG and HTC DIAG 9K.
v. double click on HTC Diag and click upgrade drivers. You need to manually upgrade the drivers..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697487 This guide does a very good job. I dont want to repeat it. You can look at it if you are stuck. Just look at the driver installation part alone.
vi. Just ignore the HTC Diag 9k for now.
3. You have done a major step already. (I got stuck on step 2 for quiet sometime.). Install cdma workshop(CDMAWS). This software will trip anti-virus software(AV). So, just turn-off AV( or add CDMAWS in your AV's exclusion list). Apparently CDMAWS does use the virus technique to work but it is not malicious.
i. connect the phone to PC and dial ##3424 for DM mode. Find out which COM port your phone is using to connect.
ii. start CDMAWS. Select the COM port you phone uses. click connect. These should be in the topline of the GUI.
iii. if you are connected. The status bar at the bottom of window should indicate it. If everything is fine, click read(it should be next to connect/disconnect button). If everything is working so far, lots of empty spaces will be populated with data.
iv. switch to the Security tab. look for a spc button. enter "000000" in the text box above it(dont include quotes). This is the password for EPST. click spc -> spc send. you should see a pop-up saying phone unlocked. (if you are using this guide for Sprint phones, you need to obtain this password). Verizon just leaves it unlocked.
v. goto 'other' tab. look for RU-IM. click on the drop-down box. Select "NV-only". This option will be present only in full version.
vi. if you have not downloaded the attachment on this post, do it now. Now focus your attention on PRL box in the same tab as in step v.
PRL stands for preferred raoming list. I have attached 2 prl files. For me the 51720-evdo.prl gave roaming sign. I used 52711.prl, it worked fine. Click on write and choose 52711.prl from you download directory. It should write, the information to your phone.
vii. next switch to NAM tab. Enter the MIN you got from the email you got from kitty wireless (link is provided above). You can also get that info from pageplus by calling. MDN is nothing but your cell number. Enter that in dir or directory text box. click write.
4. you are done with CDMAWS. you can reboot your phone. At this point, if you havent changed ESN with pageplus do so now. You can do ESN change through online chat at pageplus website. It is free.
5. If you see roaming sign on your rezound, you need to use a different PRL. Roaming is indicated by a small triangle above the signal bars. start CDMAWS and select a different PRL file to write to your phone(steps 3(i) - 3(vi)). If everything is fine, from you rezound, call *22890 to program your phone. You can also use *22801 to program. if after a short pause it says unable to program your phone. It failed to program. Make sure you followed all the steps. If after a long pause it says unable to program. you have succeeded in getting the phone registered with pageplus. Now you should have your phone working for Voice and SMS/texting.
6. Take a deep breath and pat yourself, you have achieved a major step. Now to program 3g part. As i said before, if you are having locked stock ICS rom, you wont be able to go further. ICS doesn't let changing APNs. GB is fine with changing APNs. I havent rooted my ICS. i am just happy with a working Voice and SMS for my needs. Wifi satisfies my need.
7. Fire up QPST configuration.
i. Click on "Add New Port..." Select the port your device is on. It should be same as in CDMAWS.
ii. On the next screen highlight your device.
iii. Click on "Start Clients--Service Programming"
iv. Click 'Read From phone" When the prompt pops up click "OK"
v. Now tab over to "M.IP"
vi. In the drop down below that says simple ip+Mobi change that to "Simple IP"
vii. Now double click on "Profile 2"
viii.In the "NAI" section put your phone [email protected]
ix. In the "tetheredNAI" section put your phone [email protected]
x. For the IP Address put 255 all the way across for the last two sections and leave the 0's in the first section and Click OK
xi. Now click on "PPP config"
xii. Click "Um"
xiii. In the box that says "User ID", Enter your phone [email protected]
xiv. Click in the box that says "Tethered NAI", Enter your phone [email protected]
xv. Click in the box that says "Password", Enter "vzw"
xvi. Click the "AN" tab, User ID is your phone [email protected] and Password is "vzw"
xvii. Click "write to phone"
8. Power your phone down then reboot it.
9. i. Connect to wifi
ii. Open market
iii. Search for "APN Backup and Restore" and install. If you have GB, this will work on it own. Now if you have a rooted ICS, you can use Titanium Backup pro to run this system app. ICS allows system apps to modify APNs.
iv. Open APN and click Backup APN's
v. Now put your phone in "airplane mode"
vi. Click "delete apn's"
vii. Click "restore apn"
viii. Select page plus apn from below
ix. Disable Airplane Mode
x. Reboot
And thats it your fully flashed with MMS, Talk, Text, 3G
Credit goes to lots of folks. Mainly to Nevell, techwerkz, folks at howard forums and scores of others who are not mentioned.
Hope this helps a few folks.
Great guide.
hey guys, im kinda new to this and im planning to switch from VM to PP. I am plannng to buy the HTC Rezound. When i buy it, do i have to buy the contract version or the "month to month" version on the verizon site?? And does this tutorial actually work? Can anyone confirm it? And i dont care about 3g or 4g so i just want talk and text/

I got 3G data working on stock ICS 4.0.3.605.1
To make it work you need to write all necessary settings to the 9K port as well. The tricky part is that QPST will not work and you have to use full paid version of CDMA Workshop or DFS (free version is ok) instead.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 of javamaan's guide for port 9k and use DFS for step 7.
Go to Programming/Data. Fill all fields in PAP, PPP, HDR AN, HDR AN Long and HDR AN PPP boxes. Set HDR SCP force AT config to RevA_MFPA. Uncheck eHRPD enabled. Go to Mobile IP and set NAI to [email protected].
When writing, make sure that it actually writes the data. Enable full logging and see if green "nv item written ok" messages appear. Ignore offline-d errors.
For more detailed instructions, see this cricket flashing guide.
You also need to have any sim card inserted to enable Mobile network Off/On switch in settings and get rid of the annoying message on the lock screen.
APN settings have no effect in CDMA mode. I've never touched APN menu and data works just fine.
The only thing it might be necessary is MMS, but I've never bothered to set it up.
Hello all,
For the life of me, I can't get sms or 3g to work. I've gone over this tutorial over and backwards and even did the cricket tut.
My rezound is on GB. I downgraded it with the official, stock, OTA or what ever you want to call it GB. I'm rooted but not custom ROM. I just got rid of the bloatware.
I have PPC service. Thanks, that part was great! There is a "write" line missing in the RU IM part, but I figured it out. Voice and simple text work but no sms. I even copied my wife's apn from her cell, but still, no go.
OK, done with my rant. Just had to let it out. So my steps:
in QPST - wrote everything to 8K as stated above, to the "t"
-I did come up with an error, but checked it in DFS and everything was there.

Hello all,
For the life of me, I can't get sms or 3g to work.

As already mentioned above, forget about the APNs! They are not used for CDMA mode (except MMS). Until you have 3G data, just leave the default VZWINTERNET APN as it is.
You don't need to downgrade to GingerBread. I've done everything on ICS 4.0.3.605.1, but 4.0.3.605.2 should work as well.
Make sure you've actually written everything to both ports. Especially 9K port. Read back and check if all values are there (except passwords that can't be read). Read PRL and make sure that version is 51720.
Post your screenshots of DFS after you read the data (NAM/PRL, Data and MobileIP pages).
OK, I wrote the prl over again and opened up DFS and wrote to nam1 and nam2.
Well, I was able to get it to work. I put ics back on, updated to one of the newer prl's and put a sim chip. I'm not sure what did the trick, but my bet is on the chip. note* I used an old at&t sim chip that I had laying around. I still get the warning on the lock scene, but that doesn't bother me. Thanks again to those who made these tuts.
Cheers
Im getting close to getting my Rez up on PP,... (deleted)
EDIT: Thanks so much for this thread, Im well on my way, with a few bumps along the way while I learn the software and phone. was stuck at step 5 til I realized you did the programming and dont need the #22890. with or w/o my new sim, I can make & receive calls/texts. Im barred from the ota programming by the phone.
Now I'm figuring out qpst as to why it doesnt show profile 2, just a single profile (0). So I dont know if I should modify that profile 0... And I need to get rid of the error message re the 4g activation. So i'm a little ways from having any data functioning... going to bed, sleepy and cross-eyed...
"Activating your phone..."
In the lock screen, how do you remove the irritating "Activating your phone..." message. I have everything working except MMS, but I don't care about it, I just want the stupid notification gone.
I also have an LTE card installed. I had remotesquaD flash it for me...
HTC Rezound on PagePlus no 3G data
javamaan said:
Ok folks. If you are like me, you searched all over the web didnt find a definitive answer on how to go about getting your HTC rezound to Pageplus.
I bought a used Rezound. It came with NO Verizon SIM card. No software updates to it. I read a lot, sounded like getting to the latest stock was a good idea as it usually fixes issues. Well, I promptly updated to the leaked global ICS rom. Go the rom from android police dated Aug 15.
So my rezound had locked stock global ICS rom, no SIM card. Here is how i flashed it to pageplus. Please follow the steps as mentioned, as i have stumbled too many times and got it working.
================================
Not a must but...
1. Dont upgrade your phone to ICS rom if you dont want to root your phone. As ICS blocks APN updates. Meaning if you need 3g on pageplus or any other carrier and you dont want to root your phone, dont upgrade. If you dont mind rooting your phone, you can just ignore this warning.
Requirements:
MIN and MDN Information:
You can get MIN and MDN by calling pageplus or follow steps below.
goto http://www.kittywireless.com/pageplus/phonestatusform.html
right at the bottom you can enter email and phone number. You will get an email with MIN and MDN information.
OS Requirement:
Windows 7 64bit or 32bit. No support for Linux, Mac or XP(??).
Software you will need:
1. HTC Sync http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-rezound-verizon/software-updates.
2. HTC Diag drivers. You can download from below.
3. QPST. http://conflipper.com/Software/QPST_2.7_366.rar
4. CDMA Workshop. You need the full version. Demo is not useful. There is an old 2.7 cracked version floating around in the web. That will do the job.
Steps to follow:
1. Install HTC Sync. This software will install HTC Sync and HTC Drivers. All you are looking for is HTC Drivers. So, as soon as installation is complete you can uninstall HTC Sync alone. They have seperate uninstallers.
2. Install HTC Diag drivers. Now, i hope you have access to Windows 7. These drivers didnt install in XP for me. it could work for you.
This step is crucial, without these drivers installed you wont be able to do anything.
i. Connect your phone to PC.
ii. Just leave it on charge mode. The HTC drivers you installed in previous step should recognize the phone.
iii. Goto the dialer in phone. dial ##3424. press call. This should put the phone in DM mode.
iv. Win 7 will try to find the drivers and fail. If you open the device manager (or short cut just run devmgmt.msc), you should see the
2 devices with no drivers. HTC DIAG and HTC DIAG 9K.
v. double click on HTC Diag and click upgrade drivers. You need to manually upgrade the drivers..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697487 This guide does a very good job. I dont want to repeat it. You can look at it if you are stuck. Just look at the driver installation part alone.
vi. Just ignore the HTC Diag 9k for now.
3. You have done a major step already. (I got stuck on step 2 for quiet sometime.). Install cdma workshop(CDMAWS). This software will trip anti-virus software(AV). So, just turn-off AV( or add CDMAWS in your AV's exclusion list). Apparently CDMAWS does use the virus technique to work but it is not malicious.
i. connect the phone to PC and dial ##3424 for DM mode. Find out which COM port your phone is using to connect.
ii. start CDMAWS. Select the COM port you phone uses. click connect. These should be in the topline of the GUI.
iii. if you are connected. The status bar at the bottom of window should indicate it. If everything is fine, click read(it should be next to connect/disconnect button). If everything is working so far, lots of empty spaces will be populated with data.
iv. switch to the Security tab. look for a spc button. enter "000000" in the text box above it(dont include quotes). This is the password for EPST. click spc -> spc send. you should see a pop-up saying phone unlocked. (if you are using this guide for Sprint phones, you need to obtain this password). Verizon just leaves it unlocked.
v. goto 'other' tab. look for RU-IM. click on the drop-down box. Select "NV-only". This option will be present only in full version.
vi. if you have not downloaded the attachment on this post, do it now. Now focus your attention on PRL box in the same tab as in step v.
PRL stands for preferred raoming list. I have attached 2 prl files. For me the 51720-evdo.prl gave roaming sign. I used 52711.prl, it worked fine. Click on write and choose 52711.prl from you download directory. It should write, the information to your phone.
vii. next switch to NAM tab. Enter the MIN you got from the email you got from kitty wireless (link is provided above). You can also get that info from pageplus by calling. MDN is nothing but your cell number. Enter that in dir or directory text box. click write.
4. you are done with CDMAWS. you can reboot your phone. At this point, if you havent changed ESN with pageplus do so now. You can do ESN change through online chat at pageplus website. It is free.
5. If you see roaming sign on your rezound, you need to use a different PRL. Roaming is indicated by a small triangle above the signal bars. start CDMAWS and select a different PRL file to write to your phone(steps 3(i) - 3(vi)). If everything is fine, from you rezound, call *22890 to program your phone. You can also use *22801 to program. if after a short pause it says unable to program your phone. It failed to program. Make sure you followed all the steps. If after a long pause it says unable to program. you have succeeded in getting the phone registered with pageplus. Now you should have your phone working for Voice and SMS/texting.
6. Take a deep breath and pat yourself, you have achieved a major step. Now to program 3g part. As i said before, if you are having locked stock ICS rom, you wont be able to go further. ICS doesn't let changing APNs. GB is fine with changing APNs. I havent rooted my ICS. i am just happy with a working Voice and SMS for my needs. Wifi satisfies my need.
7. Fire up QPST configuration.
i. Click on "Add New Port..." Select the port your device is on. It should be same as in CDMAWS.
ii. On the next screen highlight your device.
iii. Click on "Start Clients--Service Programming"
iv. Click 'Read From phone" When the prompt pops up click "OK"
v. Now tab over to "M.IP"
vi. In the drop down below that says simple ip+Mobi change that to "Simple IP"
vii. Now double click on "Profile 2"
viii.In the "NAI" section put your phone [email protected]
ix. In the "tetheredNAI" section put your phone [email protected]
x. For the IP Address put 255 all the way across for the last two sections and leave the 0's in the first section and Click OK
xi. Now click on "PPP config"
xii. Click "Um"
xiii. In the box that says "User ID", Enter your phone [email protected]
xiv. Click in the box that says "Tethered NAI", Enter your phone [email protected]
xv. Click in the box that says "Password", Enter "vzw"
xvi. Click the "AN" tab, User ID is your phone [email protected] and Password is "vzw"
xvii. Click "write to phone"
8. Power your phone down then reboot it.
9. i. Connect to wifi
ii. Open market
iii. Search for "APN Backup and Restore" and install. If you have GB, this will work on it own. Now if you have a rooted ICS, you can use Titanium Backup pro to run this system app. ICS allows system apps to modify APNs.
iv. Open APN and click Backup APN's
v. Now put your phone in "airplane mode"
vi. Click "delete apn's"
vii. Click "restore apn"
viii. Select page plus apn from below
ix. Disable Airplane Mode
x. Reboot
And thats it your fully flashed with MMS, Talk, Text, 3G
Credit goes to lots of folks. Mainly to Nevell, techwerkz, folks at howard forums and scores of others who are not mentioned.
Hope this helps a few folks.

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and first thing I want to do is thank everyone for their time and effort of putting the useful information on this forum! Also thanks to javamaan, I have been able to activate my HTC Rezound (previously on Verizon) on PagePlus. I have the following working: Talk, TXT, MMS, and 1X data. But no matter what I do, (spent over a week on this now, no kidding) I can't get 3G working.
I have the original Verizon 4GLTE sim card installed.
I am S-OFF, rooted, running leaked android 4.0.3 (4.03.605.3). (QPST is only good for 8K port)
I use mostly CDMAWS 3.8.7 demo and DFS 4.0.0.5 to manipulate data.
I write same data values to 8K and 9K ports, to NAM1 and NAM2.
Could it have something to do with HA and AAA shared secret values? some say leave it blank, some say 'vzw' (in hex), some say need to get those off of a donor phone.....
Could it be that when writing any passwords in DFS for 9K port they don't seem to showup/stick?
Thank you!

I never could get *228xx activation to work. Just filled all data manually.
You can try to insert some other sim card, like AT&T or whatever. It just wants to have something in the slot.
@ Wileywold:
Step 5 is just if you get the triangle by the signal bars. *228 in any form will give you that error. I followed yura's directions and programmed for the mms and 3g using DFS.
@ snpiee:
On my phone HA is 300 and AAA is 2. Like you, I don't know if that has anything to do with programming or not. I've tried different prls and still can't get 3g to show up. I'm also stuck on 1x.

You definitely don't need a donor phone. As I recall, I did "vzw". Actually, all that Mobile IP NAI stuff is not used if "Simple IP only" is selected.
Also, someone suggested to do a software reset with 4G SIM inside after writing all values. Not sure if it really helps, but you can try.

Passwords don't show up when I read back after writing, so this is OK.
Check PRL version and other stuff.

Oh, I thought you finally got 3G... I will go make my DFS screenshots now, so we can compare.
I just updated my prl to 52874 hoping it would point my Rez to 3g towers. Well, I'm still on 1x.
Screenshots of 9K port. I've highlighted some important items.
I finally got it. I wrote to both 8K and 9K ports and NAM1 and NAM2. All values were the same. My prl is the most recent verizon from my area, which is 52874. Here are the screen shots.
Thanks again to yura and javamaan for their hard work!

You got 3G working now? I will compare your values to mine when I get home today....
Thanks for posting DFS screenshots!
By the way in your pics you use PrefMobileIP not SimpleIP is that correct?

Thanks for kindly sharing help here! I continue to tinker with this by lurking here and (after success with voice/texts/1x data) I'm now working on getting the 3g operating, and the dfs screen shots are very helpful. I want to upload a few for someone to see, and point me closer to my goal. Ive tried to imitate yours, but im running dfs 3.1.xxx and there are a few differences in the location of items, and labeled a bit different. I had to guess at one of the places to insert the dun info since it didnt show quite the same layout of lines/descriptions.For example, PAP has an extra line called data, while the PPP section has 1 less line , so I tried the dun line in that PAP section.
I'm very close to having this thing DONE and I never would have gotten here without great tutors right here!
BTW, What do you use to get the great screen shots to insert here in the forum?
well i took my phone to "unlock wireless" in my area..had them set my phone up for page plus 55 dollar plan..get it going good..but data would not send at all..so i talked with page plus and they had ot do a few ## numbers to try to reprogram it..then it made it have the roaming icon and they said id have to reflash..ive been trying multiple work throughs from this site and i follow instructions to the T but im always getting error like (device not found) or when trying to write the recovery.img it says ok on sending then fails writing
i just want to be able to send picture messages and not have this roaming icon everytime i try to make a call
any suggestions?
oh and i believe im unlocked..my MSL (even tho i cant read it with anything) is 000000 which means unlocked right? im new to this..i rooted my old evo but this is a whole diff ball game not starting fresh
Dial ##3282# on the dialer and tap edit mode. And then type your msl . If all zeros does not work then your msl is different than that. And msl with all zeros does not mean you are unlocked. It can be anything and you can change it. And as for recovery.IMG, you cannot write it because it requires an unlocked boot loader . And unlocked boot loader again has nothing to do with your msl or network.
If the 000000 msl does not work after you dial ##3282# > edit mode, then you can find out your msl with msl reader app. It requires a rooted phone and to root your 3d you need a custom recovery which requires an unlocked boot loader.
If you just need your msl and don't want to try different aosp ROMs or GB, just unlock the boot loader from www.htcdev.com, then flash a recovery (I recommend 4ext, don't flash cwm it has issues) then flash superuser zip from recovery and install Msl reader from play store.
Simply put, you're going to have to flash in a custom PRL if you want the roaming indicator to go away. I'm not sure if I can post info on how to edit a PRL, or even flashing one into your phone, but the good new is, it's only an indicator in reference to sprint or virgin. So it may say roaming, but according to your pageplus plan, you're probably not actually roaming. Here's an example, I'm running my EVO3D on verizon wireless, and I get a roaming indicator, but my service/perfomance on my phone is not effected. Just make sure you have "data roaming" enabled and you should be good to go.
