Hey guys,
I've been searching all over the tubes/threads and can't find a legit answer.
I have an EVO OG on Boost. Working 3G.
I have done all the standard steps in flashing the info over to the LTE.
I am able to get text/talk, but no 3G.
Specs:
S-ON
1.15 hboot
1.05.11.0606 radio
Donor: Evo OG > TP2
All keys, msl, important numbers acquired.
Flashed talk/text
I have QPST, QXDM, DFS 4.0.0.3, CDMA 2.7
There must be some step to flashing LTE phones. I've seen the SGSIII thread and the only different steps there are the PAP name ([email protected]), and I've seen members mentions 466_1 nams, and checking certain parameters and unchecking others, and none of it works.
Profile update gets error code 1233 so I can't even try that.
I'm at my wits end with this phone. I'd get CDMAWS3.8.7 if I knew for sure it'll get my 3G working. But others have got it without the software. What's missing from the standard incog/donor to EVO OG steps? Help guys.
YES
Alright! Got it working!
IDK about anyone else, but here's exactly what I did. I pray it helps at least one other out there!!
I was on hboot 1.15, custom rom, rooted, unlocked BLer, the works.
I flashed to Boost the EvoOG way. Got talk and text, no data working. Error 67/no 3G signal on Profile 1 (on prof 0 there was a 3g signal, but no connection)
Update Profile was the ONLY method I could not attempt because of Error 1233.
*Error 1233: Turns out this is some sort of connection issue between phone and sprint servers from what I gather. Some said it had to do with root, but I unrooted and still had this issue. Others said it was HTC specific. More on this later...
So to update profile, I decided to go ALL the way back to Stock.
Unrooted.
Relocked via ADB (fastboot oem lock)
DL'd stock Jewel Rom (unfortunately, put me up to 1.19 hboot from 1.15. No other RUU worked -- all said bootloader error except for this one, so I just went with this one.)
Once that was done, I tried updating Profile on my fresh phone.
Error 1233.
I reflashed Nams and Profile data and NV items.
Error 1233 on profile update. No 3G.
I did ##768#, reset everything. I was going to attempt to do another clean flash of Nams etc...
Phone reset information.
Here's the good part:
On android attempting Hands Free Activation, it failed. It then said "If you are not with rep, press activate", bringing up the hands free self-service screen. It failed, saying no connection, bla bla.
I went to standard android setup, and here's what I think did the trick:
-I made an HTC Account on the spot
-I connected to WiFi when directed
-Left location services on
Once done, it tried to activate AGAIN, and said "If you are not with rep, press actiavte"
Brings up the self-service screen, and for some magical reason,
It validated my account, showed my boost number, and now I've got talk, text, web on my Evo LTE on Boostmobile.
Went online, dled apps, checked ##debug#, and EVDOrevA for true 3G.
I strongly believe HTC account setup is what allowed the phone to bypass Error 1233. Or not. But it's the one variable that changed of my MANY tries. Perhaps having an HTC account allows the phone to use that HTC update profile service? In the description of the account setup it said "and allows you to connect to HTC software updates...", and I lumped this with update PRL firmware, profile, and HTC update, so I went and made an account via wifi.
Well! That's it! Hope it helps. Maybe someone can make more sense of it.
Special thanks to "iBlowpot" for giving some tips, albeit they didn't work, it's nice that at least one person tried to help.
I can confirm this is wierd but worked for me on 2 evo lte make sure it is on cdma only no lte thought. Great job

I don't think most of you fully understand what happens when you perform the ESPT command ##786# (## RUN#), this is one of 2 types or of factory resets.
- The traditional Factory Reset that you normally do from either the settings menu> Back-up /Reset or from a Recovery (TWRP or CWM), only removes and your Google Account settings, it it does not change the Radio and Hardware settings within the phone. It does not remove your settings to MDN, MSID or Network Radios (basically the way the phone identifies with the network)
- ## RUN# > Reset, removes ALL phone identity modifications to the phone, less MEID , HEX, and DEC changes, and thus is a TRUE factory reset as it will remove your M.IP Usernames, MDN, MSID, and other settings that identify the phone to a network, thus leaving your phone with the ability to get back on the network upon reprogramming of account identities
You should only use this when flashing or giving/selling to phone to someone to prevent them from using your account or info. Use the traditional factory reset when simply trying to clear out your settings and not changes carriers or phone numbers.

Carrier: Alltel
Started with WM5 ROM.
Flashed to DCD's 2.1 WM6 ROM last week, no issues noted.
Yesterday flashed to 2.2 WM6.1 ROM and now whenever I get a data session going in a strong EVDO area I get dropped down to 1x when the data session finishes connecting?
I've moved back to 2.1, used no2chems 6.1 ROM and back to DCD's 6.1 ROM. Same problem all around now.
Radio problem maybe? Or user? If radio, anyone get me a link to the original 1.4?
Thanks in advance if anyone has any tips, I've tried looking around but only find people with MMS or other issues.
---------------------
This solution apparently only works for Alltel customers, if anyone finds solutions for Sprint/Verizon/Telus I'll add the solution to this post.
ALLTEL:
1. Enter EPST (##778), Edit (password= 000000).
2. View Info (left soft key).
3. Choose the "Security" item.
4. In the "HDR AN AUTH Password(LONG)" field, click to highlight.
5. Menu (right soft key), Edit
6. In the "Value" field, enter your Hex ESN (make sure all characters are CAPITAL, lowercase will FAIL).
7. Ok. Menu. Ok to save, then reset.

Hey in case you guys are still having problems with this, I can tell you what worked for me with Sprint.
You'll need your unlock code, if you don't have it, you've gotta get it from either Sprint or from one of the tutorials i've seen floating around here and other forums.
1. Sync your titan to back up your data.
2. ##786# Choose edit, enter your unlock code, then choose menu>restore. This will reset everything to factory settings.
3. Reset
3. ##UNLOCKCODE# Again choose edit.
4. Both MDN and MSID should be your wireless number (this was confirmed by Sprint T2 tech support)
5. Reset
6. Call your voicemail to make sure your phone service is working.
7. Connect to the internet. It should trigger IOTA/Provisioning and then EVDO should be working.
8. Resync your **** and you're good to go.
Hope this helps, it worked for me.

I think with Alltel you get 1x when roaming. Do *228 option 3 < Thats to activate your phone if you haven't already
Then do *228 option 2 to update your roaming preferences which ridded me of roaming in coverage area!

Thanks for the response, I've been through that already and same results...
I even went back to the stock Alltel ROM and Radio, same thing.
With PRL 30029 AND 40029...
Oh well, I'll figure something out as I love the speed of DCD's 2.2!!!!

Did you check Start->Settings->Personal->Phone->Services->Mode of Operation to make sure it wasn't set to 1X only? I think that was the default setting on my phone.
I had this same problem, and then I reflashed with the 3.16 sprint rom twice and it went away.
Appreciate the responses, but I don't have the "Mode of Operation" on my Alltel 6800. And I've reflashed all kinds of ROMs with no luck...
Thanks for the ideas though...

With the newest Advanced Config app, you can unhide the "mode of operation" option in there. I got it from here somewhere, do a search. I doubt this is your issue. I had this problem yesterday with Sprint. I got data in 1xRTT, but not EVDO. I ended up calling Sprint and they had to deactivate and reactivate the internet services on my phone. Immediately it worked like a champ.
I had this problem also and was able to take care of it by going into EPST (##778) and going under the security settings and putting the ESN Hex Value of Your Phone under the HDR Password. Mine got lost whenever I upgraded the radio. This will allow you to lock back onto the EVDO network

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
That did the trick (after I did it a second time and made the letters capital) and now I'm cruising EVDO style!!
Thanks!!!!
Hi I have this same issue.
i typed ##778 send
and get the view, edit , and cancel options.
do i find the hdr password under the edit?
when i choose edit, i get a password prompt and i do not know the password.
i am on dcd rom 2.2.0
i edited mine, and it does get on ev instead of 1x so i was glad but when i opened ie i cant get a data connection up now at all???

I just checked and I have a bunch of garbled characters in this spot. Does anyone else see something like this?
What did you guys have in that slot before you added your esn hex number?
the password you need is unlock code you can only get from sprint.
i also had the weird characters, i edited these out with my esn hex as mentioned and now i cant get a data connection at all, i get an error that i cannot connect. Anyone with any idea on what i can do?
I thought of downgrading the radio and then installing this one again and starting from scratch any better ideas?
My HDR password is also extended ASCII characters, has been for every ROM version I have run, and I get EVDO and on the Internet as well. I thought that was a problem when I had no data connection from a previous ROM, but it wasn't.
What worked for me was to go all the way back to the official 2.17, then to the leaked 3.16, etc. I made sure everything was set up and working properly on each version before moving on to another ROM.

Again, I'm on Alltel so maybe for some unknown reason there is more to it for you Sprint users.
But, my MDR Password field was goofy stuff, deleted it and put in my Hex ESN in ALL CAPITALs and I stay at EVDO when my data connection is made now.
Deleted MDR PASSWORD and put esn hex, internet not working
ok guys i messed up pretty badly and deleted the MDR password and put my esn hex instead and now i cant get on the net.
I have an HTC TITAN running DCD 2.2 and latest 3.27 radio
any suggestions on how to get the password back????

yes i also have a bunch of giberish in there. i am afraid to change it becuase there will be no way for me to put that giberish back in there with all those weird looking characters.
i found the edit password which was a bunch of 00000 as many as the field would take
and i understand some people now get ev but no data connection now. i am on verizon and i dont know if that will happen to me as well.
my connection now says ev and doesnt change back to 1x anymore so i am going to leave this as is for now and not change it.
also my a-key is blank if that makes a difference. phone works fine though.

you mean hdr password right? I did not see an mdr password listed anywhere
I seem to have the Sprint 3.16 Rom. But I do have the 3.27 Radio and even though I load the DCD 2.2.6 (verizon version) the phone ends up on the Sprint network.
I followed the directions based on this link http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17667
and part of that includes:
4. Run the Unofficial carrier released rom 3.16 (this has the radio also)
>>>Click here for Sprint unofficial 3.16 Release
>>>This has the correct radio as well --that is why I recommend going this route first
**Special Note: Do not be concerned if you hear and see your phone reboot
and disconnect from your computer. This will happen multiple times as it
loads the 3.16. This process can take about 10mins or so to complete.
**Further Explanation: The reason for this step is to easily and safely get you
into the 3.16 real with the correct radio installed. Don't be concerned if you are on
another provider. You will take care of that when you download a custom rom
built specifically for your provider network.
This all seemd to work, but has left me on Sprints network.
What did I do wrong, or more importantly, how do I get the phone back onto Verizon's network?
Thanks Much. It's not a brick, but it's not real usefull right now.
I'd reflash.
Are you sure it's on Sprints' network and not that it just says "sprint" when dialing out?
You are not on Sprint, or shouldn't be. Open your web browser on your phone and go to www.showmyip.com. Scroll down to the paragraph where it states "Your currently assigned host name is..." and you should see Verizon in there somewhere. Mine shows Sprint, but I am with Sprint.
You can always change what the connection name is by going to Start, Settings, Connections, Connections and clicking Manage existing connections. Then select the Sprint name, click Edit and name it whatever you like. This will have no impact on your connection other than the name that pops up when connecting to the Internet.
No, it's Sprint all right
If I try to make a phone call, I get a message about an authentication problem that says to call Sprint, etc.
what happens when u try doing *228???
idk if you can find the latest prl file but i'd update that as it contains the tower lists
i use to get "Welcome to Verizon Wireless" messeges when i had US Cellular...and from wat i understood was that there was a mixup in the prl lists of tower codes etc
How do I apply a PRL list?
Sorry, I managed to find one. How do I apply it?
##PRL#...and it will ask for your msl...urs should be 000000 (thats wat i believe verizon has them set as)
browse to that file and it should load
Thanks, things are getting better now
Thanks to everyone for their kind help.
Just thought I would fill folks in on where I went wrong in case it's helpful to someone else.
First I missed a step in the direction when I was upgrading.
I skipped Step 5, to run the unlocker. I guess I thought that it was not necessary since the 3.16 Sprint Rom already included the 2.40 SPL. Anyway, once I ran the unlocker, it droped my SPL back to something like 1.20, but that version allowed me to run the 'new' 2.40 SPL, and once I had that, I could load the Radio.
That got me back to a kosher setup, but I was still on Verizon's network.
While I was waiting to understand how to load a PRL, I figured out that my phone was set to Automatic Roaming, and given that I am in a poor phone coverage area, my phone had roamed over to sprints network. Changing the Roaming setting to Automatic-A got me back on Verizon's network.
I still have authentication problems, but after doing a bit more searching, I think I need to call Verizon to clear that up. Once that's set, I think a *228 will get me the proper PRL.
So, While I don't have a working phone quite yet, I think I'm only minutes away from that.
Thanks again.
Got it working
Turns out I was not minutes away, I was hours.
I'll give the short version here.
The Sprint ROM that I had loaded left my EPST a complete mess. Reloading the stock verizon ROM fixed that (link below) then redoing the *228 worked, and then VZW could generate a A-Key for me and do some unspecified magic to get my internet access working.
Key thing appears to be to reload the Verzion ROM to reset the radio/EPST settings

So I bought a phone (Eris) off Craigslist to flash it to Cricket. I was able to get all the settings right in order to have MMS\3g using EPST and enjoyed it for a while. Unfortunately, I recently moved to a town that does not have Cricket in it, so I installed a new rom and was able to Activate my phone with Verizon. Unfortunately, I have been unable to access 3g on the Verizon network and was wondering if anyone could post the correct settings to use with epst in order to get 3g working.
Please, I have searched for them but am either using the wrong search term or just cant find a thread that has the settings I need.
I am currently using KaosFroyo V32 but by the time anyone reads this I will have reverted to a rom which allows me to use EPST.
Thanks,
Q
So I switched over to the Xtrsenserom and, just as I thought, the settings in EPST are all still setup for cricket service.
Im going to try #228 and see what happens now that Im not on a Froyo-based Rom anymore
Peace...
AAARrrgggghhh!!!
This so sucks!! The ota did not change the settings (or at least not enough to allow mobile internet) It was so easy to find the settings i needed to change in order to have mobile internet through Cricket. Why is it so hard to find the ones to revert back? Under the NAM Name it still says cricket but my MDN is correct but I can tell a bunch of the numbers in subsequent settings are connected to my old Cricket account... Please help!!
It's *228 for one. Which page in EPST do you need?
Ah I figured it out. It had my old number as min and crickets info for login and a few other abnormalities resulting from cricket. I gotta say this version of Android 2.1 I reverted to in order to access EPST is real nice. I don't think im going back to Froyo for a while. I forgot how nice the dialpad is where you can just dial in part of someones name and all the numbers that fit your input start appearing
can you send me the settings you used in EPST for verizon. I think I may be having similar issues.
Use the verizon RUU.
This will put everything back, you can *228, reroot, then restore your nand backup and uninstall auto start.
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
You know what, just throw a verizon prl file in there, and you should be able to *228.
Try that alltel verizon hybrids one if you can't find any others.

I'm sorry to bring this thread back up.
I just went through 3 days of frustration on this issue and since this thread is the top google result, I want to help others.
I bought a used Droid Incredible that was flashed to Cricket. We had the phone flashed back to Verizon from a local Cricket dealer. However, my data wasn't working at all. After spending 2 hours on the phone with VZW, I learned of ##778. The rep only went through two menus and only one option was different (home nid/sid). It didn't help changing it, and in fact, everytime I do *228, it just goes back to what was in there originally. So anyway...I found the security menu later that night. Noticed that HDR AN AUTH Password and PPP Password said 'cricket'. I deleted that, reboot, and then saw 1x finally pop up, but it wouldn't stick.
Changing PPP Password to vzw made 1x work, but the connection would constantly try to obtain 3g, and reset the connection so it was still unusable for the most part.
Noticed on the Eris (previous phone), those Password values were encrypted...Google research suggested a painful adventure of memory dumps, etc, etc.
Then I found another post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2563813&postcount=32
I blanked out the two password fields, committed, then went to home sid settings (or home sid profile) and changed network type from simple ip mode to mobile ip preferred. Commit, reboot and bam! 3G was there!. I didn't have to, but a *228 may be necessary. The two password fields got updated automagically and now have encrypted values in them. Life is good.
Edit: just wanted to state that in the middle of trying to get data working, I flashed over the verizon RUU, which didn't help immediately, but may have been a compounding solution.
Is there anyway to flash the Droid Razr to metro pcs and if so can someone provide me with a link? If I'm posting in the wrong place just let me know.
i'm thinking you may need more than just flashing for that.
Do you know what I might need then? This verizon bill is killing me. I know people have successfully flashed the razr to Cricket. I mean I know I'm gonna need to root kit which isn't a problem I've done that kind of thing plenty of times and I've just been procrastinating on doing it on my Razr for some reason.
i know how to flash it to metropcs just cant get it into the metropcs system so if someone can help me as far as getting it into the system i can definately help them on the falshing part

At the moment this is a placeholder for notes. The tutorial might have to be finished by someone who has more time than me to work on this device. Mine is on Verizon now. I will probably poke at it a little bit more when I get home and back to a normal schedule, but throughout December, it's going to be hectic for me. I'm going to try and add pictures so someone will have some knowledge going into this where I had none. If someone can get a hold of a Bionic tutorial, this might be similar.
Currently talk and text works but 3g data drops out. It works when it's connected but wants to cycle off and on A LOT.
As a good rule of thumb, always try to backup your settings before modifying them.

QPST
Add the port for the device if required under QPST configuration. It's going to be the DIAG port. Just check device manager to see what port that is.
Use the Service Programming application under the QPST folder to access the phone. Connect to it but don't read.
Now follow this tutorial to write the proper information:
http://www.cricketusers.com/flashing...s-cricket.html
Write to the phone. Reboot it once all the writing is done and catch the boot to put it back in DIAG mode. If you don't it's no big deal, but you will have to power it down and get it back in DIAG mode before continuing.
CDMA WS
Open up CDMA WS and connect to the port with the RAZR. Go to the security tab and send the SPC 000000. Then go to the memory tab and send the DROID NV items which can be found at whiterabbit.org. It should write the NV items and fix the data.
UPDATE: The following might be required
Go to the "Other" tab and navigate to "R-UIM" then click read.
Change it to "NV Only" and write to phone. It should say Successful
Close out CDMA WS and reboot the phone.
Phone Settings (info from RLockwich)
Go into the ##PROGRAM select option 14 for LTE I turned off LTE bppanic, LTE Movement detection, and disabled Class 1,2,2 APNS

Just went through all the settings again, I hope everyone can have as much luck as I just did. I was thinking, and I remember seeing the end of the thunderbolt tutorial says the last step is to remove the 4G LTE microSIM. I had tried that before early on when I first flashed it, but when I removed the card, it showed No Sim, no network connection and a SIM symbol with a exclamation point. I just tried it again a hour ago...Pulled the SIM, showed no network and then I rebooted the phone... FIVE times on and off all with immediate and STABLE 3G at 10 minutes a time between rebooting. FIXED. Done messing with it.
UPDATE 12/19 - After this last post it's been 4 days since we cracked the 3G cycling issue, and my phone is working excellent! I'm very glad I was able to be a part of this and get credit work any work I put into this.
Dina's Notes:
Got everything working THANKS to Chris and RLokwich! Oh, and for those of you that are not yet successful with this flash, just re-read the entire thread. Everything you need is HERE!
It was not all smooth in the beginning.
Insights:
1) No need for BP tools. If your phone is on the homescreen, just connect it to the cable, choose PC mode and set up the port in HW.
2) Mine took like 5 master resets before 3g showed up. So in case you are pulling your hair as to why 3g not showing up, master reset the phone. Turn on wifi. Bypass activation screen (backwards C method works if you keep trying for like 2 minutes), go through the set up pages and 3g will be there.
Everything is stable so far. 3g working like a charm.
Discovered a secret!
If you do not get 3g up, make sure to Enable at least one APNs in the LTE settings (##PROGRAM menu)

MMS (needs to be tested)
The only thing I've realized now that is wrong, is no MMS. I have MMS through the tutorial on bypassing the apn through GoSMS, but I would very much like to not have it to be that way. I thought early on in this flash that I did have MMS, I think I was just being a smart ass so I changed some settings in ##PROGRAM for the SMS/MMS part that I copied from the Thunderbolt tutorial. I don't know if I messed something up. I was also thinking I've seen people having two Cricket apns? One for internet and one for MMS, does anyone know if that may fix it? I was thinking it may be that, but in my apn for cricket already, I edited it and filled in all the MMS settings for that APN. Maybe that's something I did wrong, I don't know.
If anyone does have working MMS on their flashed Razr, please post anything that might help us. Please post all your settings in SMS/MMS in ##PROGRAM and into your APN edit settings for Cricket APN you have for MMS (if you have anything filled out in the MMS blanks)

Try adding an APN for Cricket's settings or modifying the existing APNs to reflect Cricket's MMS settings.
this is what i used to get my phone on metro but the only issue im having is getting the phone itself into metropcs inventory....
i have a droid 3 esn im willing to use or if theres a way to just get the razr into the system that would be the better method

At the moment this is a placeholder for notes. The tutorial might have to be finished by someone who has more time than me to work on this device. Mine is on Verizon now. I will probably poke at it a little bit more when I get home and back to a normal schedule, but throughout December, it's going to be hectic for me. I'm going to try and add pictures so someone will have some knowledge going into this where I had none. If someone can get a hold of a Bionic tutorial, this might be similar.
Currently talk and text works but 3g data drops out. It works when it's connected but wants to cycle off and on A LOT.
As a good rule of thumb, always try to backup your settings before modifying them.

Just remove the last number and google for a meid or esn converter
Enter your 14 digit 99 # and hit enter
you should get a 256 #

Okay so I just wanted to help out anyone else who wanted to get their DNA flashed to PagePlus since there are no (complete / dedicated) guides for this. Also, I figure I'd save a couple of people ~$20 - $50 to pay to have their phones flashed. I'm no expert at this, but I did get voice, sms and 3G (see below) data working. I know how to get MMS working (natively) but I am only familiar on how to do it with Cyanogenmod / CM-based ROMs (I'm on ViperDNA). So here we go. (Sorry for the lack of pictures, I'm just short on time right now.)
What you'll need:
Phone Information: Know your MIN, MDN and SID. You can get this information from PagePlus.
HTC Sync. You can get it here.
CDMA Workshop 2.7. Get the full version.
HTC Diag drivers (read through for this, download below).
PagePlus PRL files (download below).
A stock DNA, or at least one running a stock ROM like this. It's needed to access Diagnostic Mode.
An unactivated Verizon 4G LTE Micro SIM card (you can get one here for $5). This is critical.
Once you have all of this ready, you can get to flashing!
Make sure you have everything prepped. Get your PagePlus account setup and activated (phone number and plan). You won't be able to add your phone to your account specifically yet, but you will put the number in service. Also, make sure you've got the SIM card with you as well. DO NOT PUT THE SIM IN THE PHONE YET.
Install HTC Sync if you haven't already. This will install the HTC Drivers for you.
Connect your phone to your computer and let all the drivers install.
Once completed, go to the phone dialer and dial ##3424#. This will put the phone in diagnostic mode. Windows will then install the HTC DIAG and HTC DIAG 9k drivers. Windows found and installed the drivers for me, so they may work for you. If the installation fails, just follow the instructions to install the DIAG drivers here. (Note: The Device Manager won't say HTC USB Modem, it'll say HTC Diagnostic Interface (COMX) & HTC Diagnostic Interface - 9k (COMX).)
Once installed, enter ##3424# on your DNA's keypad again if necessary, go to the Device Manager and check if the two HTC Diagnostic ports are listed under LPT/COM Ports without the yellow triangle. If there's no error triangle you're good to go.
Take note of the COM port that the "HTC Diagnostic Interface - 9k" diagnostic interface is on. This is what we'll be writing to.
You just got past the first hurdle. Now it's time to start actually flashing the phone.
Open up CDMA Workshop. Hopefully you'd have had this downloaded by now.
Connect to the COM port that HTC Diagnostic Interface - 9k is on. Click connect. YOU CANNOT CONNECT TO THE REGULAR (NON-9k) HTC DIAGNOSTIC INTERFACE'S PORT. This is normal.
The status bar at the bottom of the window will say "Ready..." if you are connected. Click read. If everything on the left hand side of the window populates, you're good.
Now for these next parts, I'm going to give my own experience. I had issues with the phone not responding to the write commands (it appeared) so I'd always write everything multiple times just to be safe. I'd also have to enter the SPC unlock code numerous times throughout working on the phone. It was quite annoying. Settings stuck though, which was good.
Go to the Security tab. Look for the SPC section. Enter "000000" (without quotes) into the box above the Read and SPC buttons. Then click SPC > Send. you'll then get a message saying the phone has been unlocked.
Go to the Other tab. Look under RU-IM. Click the drop down box and select "NV-only".
In the same tab go to the PRL box. "NAM1" should be selected in the drop down box. Under it click the Write button and browse to the folder with the downloaded PagePlus PRLs. I recommend choosing to write "52711.prl" as that's the one that worked for me. Write the PRL to NAM1.
Click the drop down box and select NAM2. Write the same PRL to it as well.
Switch the the NAM tab. Click the Read button at the bottom of the box. The fields should populate with data.
Overwrite the MIN field with the info PagePlus gave you. Enter your phone number into Dir_Number (the field to the right of MIN). then go down to SID and replace that number with the SID PagePlus gave you. Write the data.
Click read to ensure the data was written. Go back to the Main tab and then go to Mode > Reset. Disconnect from CDMA Workshop and reboot your phone.
Once rebooted, connect the phone to your PC again and enter DIAG Mode (##3424#). Open up CDMA workshop and connect to the appropriate COM port. Read the data and ensure everything in the NAM tab is what you entered. If it is correct, you may disconnect end get out of DIAG Mode.
Alright, here's where it gets changed up. Wifi was not working for me on the stock ROM that I flashed, so I flashed my DNA to ViperDNA after these steps (which I recommend). If wifi is working for you, you can just continue then.
Open up the Play Store and search for LTE On/Off (for the HTC Thunderbolt). Install it.
Open it up, scroll down to the radio settings and select CDMA auto (PRL). The settings may not stick at first. Just keep applying it and turn the radio on and off. (When I would select it, it would change to CDMA + EvDo/LTE and I'd have to keep toggling it and selecting CDMA auto (PRL) until it stuck).
Enter airplane mode for a minute and then disable it. Wait a minute or two. If the signal bars show up without the roaming sign, you're good. Go to Settings > Mobile Data. You should see your data mode set to CDMA (on ViperDNA at least). DO NOT EDIT THIS.
Shut your phone off. Insert your SIM card. Turn your phone on.
Open up LTE On/Off and make sure that it's still set to CDMA auto (PRL). You should be getting text messages (to check, just use Google Voice and send a text to your number). Call *22890 or *22891. It may not work. Wait a bit though as it may start auto activating for you without needing to actually open the phone app or anything (this happened for me). It'll activate the phone with Verizon Prepaid (obviously not PagePlus) BUT THIS IS NORMAL. Let the phone finish activating.
Make a call and listen to the instructions. It'll say something about your activation PIN being defaulted to the last 4 digits of your number, and to press 1 for English texting or something. Just press one.
Congratulations, your phone is flashed. You should now have voice, sms and 3G working.
If 3G isn't working for you, kick your phone into airplane mode for a bit and then disable it. Also toggle Mobile Data on and off once or twice. Eventually (within 15 minutes) 3G will start working.
Extended Notes
If for some reason the "52711.prl" list results in a roaming signal, try flashing one of the other lists included in the download. Make sure you are writing to BOTH NAM1 and NAM2.
If the HTC Diag drivers don't work for you / are not recognized, install PdaNet and then get the diagnostic drivers from there.
I am not 100% sure if this will work, so if any CM/CM-based ROM users can confirm this that'd be great. I used this same method on my Rezound to get MMS working on PagePlus. Just do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41981275&postcount=172.
Can I ask those of you who have flashed their DNAs to PagePlus using this guide to please report back with 3G speeds (post a picture using the SpeedTest.net app)? Thanks! I just want to make sure 3G is working as best as it possibly can. So far speeds are pretty fast for me though.

I would never have figured out how to do this without the guide on flashing the Rezound to PagePlus from javamaan, Yura80, watt19, AsianCajun and the other guys in that thread. Also dhaval1's reply to a thread that I randomly came by also helped. And I'd also like to thank the guys from those threads and other places here on XDA who got these files onto the forums for use!
Also, HUGE thanks to CapnChaos and jeanr464 for solving the MMS problem!

Thanks for the advice. The Rezound tutorial also stated that so I didn't think it'd be a real issue. I updated the guide though. Hopefully some people will find it of use.
I have been trying to do this for the past 3 weeks! Wow, it's a damn shame I caved and paid someone to do it, you really broke it down to a science!
JDA, can you post screen shots from dfs of of the data and mobile ip tabs? Blank out any of your numbers or other personal information.

I never used DFS for this but here are the screenshots from those tabs.
JDA, thanks for the posting. Seems a bit different than other profiles used, but also works.
Thanks JDA, a quick question does this mean we need the stock ROM only for flashing the prl, and after that we can move to any other rom as long as it support Verizon network?

I am curious how similar the process is for flashing to Selectel? I have seen a few people around say that a phone setup to work on page plus should work without modification on selectel but I also understand page plus is prepaid and selectel is postpaid in terms of network access so I wonder about that a little.
Sorry for the late reply, hopefully you already did this though so I'll make an update for future users:
I was wrong. You only need a ROM with the stock phone app. I'm on ViperDNA and I found I can easily enter diag mode. I stated that because with past experiences on my Rez, diag mode could not be accessed through Cyanogenmod 10.1's dialer (so I had to revert to stock).

MMS Problem
I used this guide to flash my HTC Droid DNA to PagePlus With 3G and Talk and Text. I cannot get MMS to work for some reason. Can someone help me.Thank you in advance.
Thanks In Advance.
Talk- Works
Text- Works
3G- Stable/2.42 MBPS Lowest Speed
MMS- Not Working
Thanks for the guide.
I can't get data working and I'm having trouble getting my sim to activate. The first time I tried, it tried to activate on its own like you said, but failed (I think because I accidentally had my old phone still on and I did an esn swap). I thought maybe I just ruined that sim so I bought another blank sim. But when I put it in it just said "Preparing sim card..." and didn't try to activate.
I'm new to 4g phones, so if anybody could give me any clues how to get data working I'd appreciate it.
Give it some time to auto activate

I actually got 3g working without going through the activation process. I used DFS to match my settings to post #6 in this thread (replacing my phone number with the blurred out sections in the pics). I left the keys sections blank, but somehow my 3g still works. I thought the keys would be necessary and that I'd have to get them from a donor phone, but everything works without them.
How do you get MMS to work??
