HTC Rezound on Pageplus : Guide - HTC Rezound

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?

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.
in DFS - wrote everything to 9k as stated above, to the "t"
Found the apn file from another thread because it is missing in this one. Did a restore, and.....nothing.
Found the apn settings from another site and entered it in manually......nothing.
Copied my wife's apn settings...nothing.
Made myself a drink...at least I have a good buzz going...check my phone...nothing...DOHHH!
What do I do now???
Cheers!

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...

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!

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?

Alltel 6800 Flashing Instructions for Lazy People (6.1 Update)

Alright so here is the premise. I had a good ol time trying to figure out what to download and where to go, what to do, etc, so i thought i would give anyone interested a step by step tutorial (only for you alltel people, vzw can fend for themselves). Please read all the instructions before you do anything, i can jump around a bit sometimes.
Yes, this should enable your GPS and Rev A. No, I will not be responsible if you destroy you phone (although highly unlikely...)
1. download the newest bootloader.
1a. file can be found here
1b. install the bootloader.
1c. this opens up a dos prompt. read it carefully and make sure your phone is already connected when you open the application.
1c. i believe the second time it asks you to "press a key to continue" you need to disconnect your phone and plug it back in. it tells you to do this so just read the directions.
1d. if it reads out that your phone cant be contacted and to check your cable, its probably because you didnt do step 2b.
2. download and install the new radios.
2a. Dont freak, we are going to download a sprint rom.
2b. Download it from here
2c. Run the exe with your phone plugged in.
2d. IMPORTANT: Once the flash is done, the phone will boot up. It will ask you to tap the screen to begin. If you tap, you Fail. Dont tap the screen.
2e. Move to step three.
3. Almost there, now we are getting a good ol' cooked ROM to run on it.
3a. Download DCD's kitchen here. You will also need to download Visual C++ and .Net Framework from here and here
3b. Once downloaded, click on build rom, you will see a bunch of fancy command prompt windows. Just let it sit there for a while. You will see a window come up with a bunch of check boxes. Really click whatever you want. The default selections should be enough to satisfy you. The only thing you need to make sure to do is click on "Alltel" in the carrier screen and click off of "Sprint", the default.
3c. Once you have selected what you want (again I encourage to just use the defaults and maybe add office or entertainment or something), then click the play button at the top. Once the window shows its done loading, click the x to close out of the builder. The command prompt window will start spewing information again at you. Disregard that, its not really vital.
3d. After the command prompt finishes the tizzy it got itself into, the HTC flashing application will automatically launch. Follow through in this window and it will eventually flash you phone. Thats really all you have to do!
Final Thoughts: This guide will also work with any of the other carriers that DCD's new kitchen supports. Thats pretty much everyone because, he is, you know, the man and all. The only thing you have to change is the selection of you carrier when you are "building" your rom. For the specifics of this guide I choose alltel but you can use whatever you want assuming it matches your carrier.
Please write down your Programming information before you do this flash. And its important to know your MSL if you have one of those BS carriers that changes it (unlike alltel). If you need to reprogram your phone, dial ##000000+send and put in your nam information. If you need to still set you A-Key or HDR password (more advanced stuff, the A key allows some sort of authentication and HDR password (located in the security section) allows you to connect to EVDO networks) then you can access the more advanced EPST menu with ##778+send.
Make sure you update with *228 to get the latest PRL or search around online.
Happy Flashing!
Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or if i left something out

Finally, a step by step for Alltel folks...Thanks. My head was spinning trying to piece together everything from all the various posts.
Terrific write up.
If you can, include where to find the MDN, MSID, and AKEY before upgrading so that these can be re-installed if erased...
Old roms don't work
Nice guide, but you should also note that older roms have a compatibility issue with the new radio upgrade. it seems right now only dcd's cooked rom works; for me at least.
The information you are looking for can be found by using the advanced EPST feature in the phone. assuming you are using a stock dialer (or one that supports codes) inut "##778" and then press call. it will bring up a menue and ask to view or edit. If you are getting your info, of course, press view and if you are replacing info, just click edit. all the info like your mdn and min (which you should know without having to look in here) will be here. clicking the menu on the taskbar will let you choose an entire metric ****ton of info to view. a key is one of them. I noticed now that going back, my akey is not inputted. i dont know what this value is but in the past i think i have seen it as just "0" or blank. I was foolish and didnt write it down before the flash. if anyone has anything diferent in their akey, wanna post it?
update prl
alright so i think i solved the problem with the roaming issue and the EVDO connectivity. and i feel like an idiot. for some reason i just kept on putting off updating the prl since i flashed it. and for another reason i didnt think it would matter. but i have since used the latest prl and updated completely and, wouldntyouknowit, it works perfect. steps?
1. download the newest prl here.
2. bluetooth or copy to your phone
3. open the dialer and press "##775" (this spells prl)
4. enter your unlock code, should be 000000
5. click on update prl, then menu at the bottom then edit
6. browse to where the prl is on your phone (probably my docs if you BTed it)
7. update and restart, voila!
8. enjoy having EVDO and no triangle again! WOOT!
just wondering, after following through all those steps, do we need to relock it?
Also want to note that, this method does indeed work for all providers (alltel, vzw, sprint), it's just the step where you have to flash your rom (DCD's or any other) make sure it is the one with your provider. I made a mistake of downloading the Alltel rom when I'm really a Sprint user :x.
Have any of you folks been able to get OfficeSync to work with this ROM? I can surf the web but am unable to register with my account.
I was hung up in between steps 2 and 3. The screen was stuck on the Alltel screen and I couldn't connect with my pc to install the ROM. I followed other instructions to use a FAT32 formatted SD card with the ROM renamed to TITAIMG.nbh. Reset into bootloader mode by holding the power and camera buttons and hard reset. Run the setup from there... Hope this helps someone else.

I never locked my phone and it works fine. So I am guessing no, you dont. And yeah you are correct it should work fine with any of DCD's roms, i just know the alltel one was a success for me, didnt want to lead someone astray. I know the telus one, for example, was bugged at first. idk
This is my first modification to my cell phone...just got it! Is there a setting I check to verify the GPS is working? I just looked around and all I saw were settings for connectiong external GPS devices. Also, when i go to communications manager...there is no setting for GPS. Shouldn't there be a way to turn GPS on and off? Thanks for the help!
Ok....I don't think mine is working because I installed Google Maps and clicked track location and it just stayed at Contacting Satellites (0)...I think I may have messed it up because I installed the SPL first, then the DCD's OS and last the radios...i went back and tried to reinstall everything int he correct order, but now the radio ROM says it's not created for my device.
Is there a way to start over with a fresh install so I can try this again and do it in the correct order this time? Please help! Thanks!
Well im having problems. I installed the new rom via sd card. Everything seemed to go smooth, but when wm starts up and goes through the align screen thing it just restarts and never starts up.

If you want to start from a blank slate you should be able to install a factory ROM and then begin again from there. It's my understanding that the proper order should be: New SPL --> DCD's ROM --> New Radio
I myself, when following this order, got stuck at the Alltel splash screen after I installed DCD's ROM, but before installing the radio. A reboot with the camera and power buttons held down simultaneously got me into bootloader. From there the ROM installer could recognize the device and proceed with the radio install.
If you click on the data arrow icon at the top, what does it say?
Mine says:
"Alltel Wireless (Dial-up) Connected"
I cant remember before what it said when connected but my download high was 497kps & 97kbps for upload. Either the area I am in doesnt have Rev A (Which I think is the case based upon EVDOMAPS) or my data connection is now hindered...

I personally have not been able to reach an EVDO signal at all. in an area where i was always at EVDO, now im mostly shown as roaming and in 1x. I have most recent prl and my SIDs are correct. i think there is a reason this rom is still in beta....
Have you tried the *228, press 3 then *228 then press 2? I had the roaming indicator flashing with 1X until I completed the steps above...
axcess shop
downloaded wm6.1 and it work great but is there a way to get alltels axcess shop back or no thank you
evdo
i am not romeing but i cant get a go evdo ether just 1x i did *228 and still only get 1x any way to fix this thank you
Check my Reply in this Post! The instructions will get your phone locked back onto EVDO. Not sure what your problem is with the roaming, haven't had any problems with that. I would recheck the SID in EPST again!

Rezound PagePlus Data - Not looking for tutorials

I have my Rezound on PagePlus. My phone says it's Mobile network type is EvDo-rev.A but I get not 3G icon and no data.
I get voice and sms only.
Would ESN reset work?
**Note: When I was at stock 3.14.605.12 I was still having the same issue. I flashed to NeWts to get access to the hidden menu.
I would appreciate any suggestions besides pay someone else to do it for me.
Thanks in advance.
Did you write the CDMA settings to NAM1 and NAM2? You will only get1x data on the Rezound as far as I know. I have not been able to get any better than 1x anyway. Here's some info for you... need to substitute the verizon settings in there instead of the Cricket ones of course...
8. Put phone back into DIAG mode ##3424# call and to to WS 2.7 to unlock only. Go to QPST and connect to 8k port. Read from phone .For me I was able to follow the QPST tutorial with no problem and update both profiles did M.IP and PPP and wrote to phone with no issues. Reboot. When I tried doing the same on 9k port I got "Serious error encountered write aborted". I tried doing it without reading just writing and still got the error message. So I finished the EVDO settings for 9k port in DFS.
9. Put phone in DIAG mode go to WS 2.7 to unlock phone. Launch DFS 3.3.0.7 (I used Demo version and it worked for me) connect only to port 9k do not read! Go to PROGRAMMING tab select DATA tab enter PPP UID (your#@mycricket.com) pwd (cricket) write. Then Go to M.IP go to Selected Profile Settings enter NAI (your#@mycricket.com). Set Prim HA address to 0.0.0.0, set Sec HA address to 0.0.0.0 go to Share Secret User Profile. AAA shared secret (cricket) HA shared secret (cricket). Write current profile settings. At this point you may get failed to write messages at the bottom. Just ignore them. Repeat these steps for NAM2. Press Reset upper right hand corner. If your phone does not reboot on its own reboot it. If you want you can go back into DFS and read phone from PROGRAMMING and DATA tab to see if your PPP settings stuck. Do the same for M.IP if they did not try repeating the process. I had to do it a couple of times got error messages but sure enough they wrote to phone and I was successful in getting data 3g on phone.
10. To check your default settings press ##program# when it asks for password enter 000000 and check NAM CDMA Settings and make sure all your info looks right. Go to 1xEV-DO Data Parameters to see if your PPP settings are correct. Display grouping will give you the correct ESN for Cricket activation just write down your MEID (DEC) mine started with a 25#. Here you can also see your prl to verify its the right one. Exit. You can use ##778# and view your EPST check your M.IP default Profile to make sure your NAI looks all good. If you still see the Verizon NAI, Prim HA and Sec HA of 255.255.255.255 you may have to give it another shot.
Thanks for the reply.
You are right about port 9K. I cannot get the PPP Pass, HDR Pass, HA secrect, and AAA secret to stick.
When I installed the HTC drivers on Windows 7 64bit and Windows 8 64bit under Ports (COM & LPT) it installed as HTC Diagnostic Interface for both 8K and 9K.
In Windows XP 32bit 8K was HTC Diagnostic Interface and 9K HTC Projector Interface.
So I don't know if it's a driver issue which is causing me to not write the values. I've looked in multiple forums and have not been able to install the HTC Diagnostic Interface - 9K driver.
I have WS 3.8.7 full and it writes without errors to port 9K but the values still will not stick. I've tried QPST and DFS Demo; the values still will not stick.
Thanks again.
Solved
I don't know what I did but I know I didn't write the settings to port 9K.
I did use the "open sesame door" in QPST for both port 8K and 9K attempting to write the settings to port 9K, didn't work.
So I used the RUU 1.00.605.3 and downgraded and 3G started working!!
I step RUU from 1.00.605.3, 1.02.605.6, 2.01.605.11, and 3.14.605.12 and 3G was still working.
I restored my backup from NeWts and 3G was not working. I'm not sure why.
I don't have any screen from 3.14.605.12, but I have screenshots from 2.01.605.11.
I'm not sure if this will help anyone but thought I'd add it.
Voice, text, and 3G now working on PagePlus.

Request for RF and NV data for use on the Rezound

Hi guys. As you might know the HTC Rezound has the same SOC as the I-717. We are trying to make it work with att hspa, and have up to a point, but have some issues. These issues could be solved by using the RF and NV data from the i-717. It is easy and free to get them.
The approximate steps are, mind you I am guessing in a few places because I do not have a Note:
Download and install the diagnostic drivers for your device.
Download DFS CDMA Tool (free version).
Connect phone to PC and switch it to the DM mode. If you download Hidden Menus from the market it can help you with putting it in Diagnostic Mode (DM).
Connect DFS to the first Diagnostic Interface port, not the LTE port. The Rezound has the LTE port labeled as 9K.
At the Equipment page check if Extended Build ID / MSM rev is MSM8660. If it's different, you've selected a wrong port.
Click Send SPC button to send SPC 000000 (Top left)
Go to NV page
Read Range and Save.
Read RF and Save.
The last two steps can take a few minutes to complete. Please make sure to have an active sim and make sure the phone doesn't disconnect.
Upload the files enjoy the thanks you will receive.
Thank you in advance.
Bump???
We really need this to get a hack for us rezound users to get fully functional gsm capabilities for att us. Getting the nv tables from an i-717 device will hopefully point us in the right direction. Thank you in advance to whoever is willing to help.
Also keep in mind that getting this info has no negative impact on your phone. There will be no modifying or anything so you don't have to worry about "bricking" your device.

Bumping this...A lot of people in this thread are desperate and development has totally stagnated because of the lack of data from the Note 1. Any help is greatly appreciated!
I got the message in inbox. Just responding now to tell you all that I am currently really swamped! I have not even been building my current roms for over a week. If I should get a minute or 10 this weekend??? I can have a better look at your OP here......
EDIT:
you might provide a link to these:
Download and install the diagnostic drivers for your device.
Download DFS CDMA Tool (free version).
If you want help here....
Thanks!!

Here are detailed instructions that I wrote out to someone else looking to help. I will PM them to you.
Sorry, the guy who wrote the request probably didn't think that your phone may be different...neither did I. Here are some cleaned up instructions. Since I don't have the phone, I can't be sure that they will work. This is perfectly safe, as you are only reading the data and saving it. As long as you don't start mashing your mouse clicker on random buttons And it can't hurt to have this backup around, should anything go haywire on your phone.
DFS: http://cdmatool.com/downloadFiles/application/Setup DFS 14.04.27.0.zip
Samsung USB Drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2645355
1. Dial #7284# (Phone Util). If this doesn't work you can use the "Hidden Menus" app from the Play Store to locate it. Go to Qualcomm USB Settings. Note the default selection (MTP + ADB most likely) as you will want to return to this mode when you're done..Select "RNDIS + DM + MODEM". <--- I got this from a Note 2 tutorial, but it should be essentially the same. It may be called RMNET + DM + MODEM
2. Connect your phone to your PC. With the drivers installed it should detect your phone properly.Go to "Device Manager" in Windows, expand the COM/Ports list and you should see something to the tune of: "Samsung Mobile USB Port COM---x---". Take note of the COM number listed here.
.
3. Open DFS. If a login/purchase windows comes up, exit it and the main program should load.
4. Click Ports at the top left. There should be a few options. If you don't see the COM port that you noted before, click "Add Port", choose "Serial" from the drop down, and enter "COMx" where x is that special ole number, and hti "Add Port"
5. Double click the new COM port and you should see your phone info pop up near the bottom of the window.
6. Exit the port window and look at the main Equipment page, ensure that Extended Build ID / MSM rev is MSM8660. This will ensure you have the right COM port. If it is not MSM8660, try double clicking the other ports.
7. Click the "Send SPC" at the top left button to send SPC 000000. Don't worry about editing the SPC info.
8. Go to the NV tab. Click the "Read Range" button. It may take a minute for the list to populate. The status bar at the bottom will be solid while it's reading, and start slowly scrolling again when it's done. If nothing happens, try sending SPC again.
9. Once it's done, click "Save" and it will save a .nv file, This is the one we're looking for. It should be 200-300kb. If it's not, the COM port is probably incorrect.
10. Just incase, try clicking "Read RF" as well, and saving this file too. It will probably end up being the same exact thing but it can't hurt. It will try to save it as the same filename, so just label it "RF".
11. Go back into the #7284# menu and re-select MTP + ADB (or if it was different, whatever the default selection was in the first step).
That's that. I mingle together the instructions from what I've found about Samsung phones so I can only hope it will work out. If DFS isn't working out for whatever reason, these instructions should work for your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804117
It will just dump a text file of the NV data which will be a monster to interpret, but it can't hurt.
Thanks a ton again, and good luck.

NAM1 Settings Won't Stick in DFS or CDMAWS

I am trying to set my phone up on Page Plus and I am using DFS Demo. I am able to read the settings just fine, but when I write the NAM settings, they don't stick. When I write, the log says:
MODE CHANGE OfflineD OK
HTC Diagnostic Interface - 9K (COM9)
I have put the DNA into DIAG mode by dialing ##DIAG#. I was able to get the Data and Mobile IP tabs to write correctly. I can even write to NAM2. I just can't write to NAM1. Not sure what is going on. It is the same in CDMA Workshop 2.7 Full Version. When i write in CDMAWS, it says failed when writing to the Min and Directory number. This is a brand new replacement HTC DNA phone from Verizon that has never been activated on the network. I did S-Off with Moonshine before trying to flash it to Page Plus. I am using Windows XP. Also, I can write to other phones just fine. I used my Fascinate as my donor phone and I was able to read and write to it just fine.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: I am on the stock rom with software version 2.06.605.1
I just tried editing the NAM settings using ##PROGRAM and I was able to modify them, but the settings would not stick after rebooting the phone. Went back in and everything was zeroed out again. This is very strange to me.
Any solution to this? I'm having the same issue with a different phone. reading works fine, writing never sticks, even immediately after doing write. It just blanks all of the fields out.

QPST Help

First off, thanks for tolerating this somewhat noobish post, but I've searched through almost the whole internet trying to find answers.
Alright, so here's the dealio.
Sprint Galaxy Note 3. UICC unlocked via idoneapp, then used on domestic T-Mobile through GCF settings. I want to enable more bands as described in the following links: here and here.
I get as far as Step 9 in the second link. Then, I go to select a port, and it's not there. OK, so I uncheck the "diagnostic port only" check box, and select COM12 which is what my phone is on. No big deal, right? So I go to read/backup my NV and I start it; it only gets to 12% and says "Could not Communicate in Diagnostic Mode"
That's it. I've tried different USB ports, different USB cables, other USB modes on the phone, I even have a custom kernel. I really hope it's something obvious that I'm doing wrong instead of something that's a niche error.
Thanks, guys.
I ended up being able to read the LTE bands with DFS and write them with QXDM. The only thing is that there is no LTE/GSM/UMTS mode on the phone, so it's either LTE/CDMA or GSM/UMTS for now until I figure out if I can flash some other ROM to it to let it use the other bands, cause right now it only wants to look at band 25.
So I've been trying to flash the N900T MI7 modem/baseband on my N900P but I can never get it to flash in Odin. I've been able to put the modem and non-hlos in flash able zips and flash those but it never shows up. I've also tried to dd the files directly but that doesn't work either. Ideas?
I am impressed it's not bricked yet.

So basically what happened was I found a couple other tools to do what I wanted. First was DFS tool. This works well, because it can both read and write bands to the nv of the phone. I forget what the second was, but it could both read and write the raw value of any given value in the nvram. I'll have to dig through my stuff again if you want to know what the second program was. The fact of the matter is that I was never able to get it working right. The phone always looked at band 25 LTE no matter what bands I turned on/off of the phone.
another ?

I never did get QPST to connect to my phone. I think I was able to get it to see the phone at some point, but it would never read anything from it or write anything to it. The program always froze up or something when I tried that. If I could remember the second program I used, I'd share it with you all, but for the life of me, I can't think of it.
Edit: Oh hey, the two programs I used are RIGHT IN MY SECOND POST. lol. Yeah, use DFS tool to read the NV and QXDM to write the NV. It'll save you a whole lot of trouble over doing stuff with QPST.

hope i will work

Flash the MI3 (that's emm eye three) modem and then use the app included in the zip file to find the MSL code. Here's a link to the zip file: http://bit.ly/1oZDO9t
I was not aware that you could change the MSL code with DFS tools. At least I have a Verizon Note 3 now, so I have a lot more LTE bands than the Sprint version does (although I don't care all that much; I think I may switch to the Nexus 6 soon). But yeah, try the stuff in the zip file from the link, and you should be able to
Find your MSL code
Unlock your phone internationally
Use hidden menus
Most of all, have fun! I know for sure this can be very very frustrating a lot of the time, but if you don't have fun, then I don't think there's much profit in trying stuff like this. Good luck!

I just did it with my Verizon Note 3 on Windows 10, so I know it's not a Windows 10 issue. Also, QPST seemed to work with my Verizon phone but not my Sprint phone. Weird. Make sure you're running QXDM as administrator. Also, I unlocked all of the LTE bands in this way but I can't seem to get LTE from my GSM sim card, even by going into the service mode and enabling all LTE bands.

Yes; for LTE i found in hiddn menu, that they use Tri Bands (25, 26 & 41), so for others bands will not work.
I don't know how i can disable this and force it to use bands 3, 7 20.

I honestly couldn't tell you, and I'm not sure how much help I'm going to be in general. I've tried it on both of my Note 3 phones but have had no confirmed success. Sprint especially is the one carrier that sticks out like a sore thumb, and by association, so do their phones. I've had plenty of frustration on that front, that's for sure.

Maybe. Really they have a method to do anything I would advise against trying to do that, although I'm not sure what harm it could do if you can still get back into download mode. I've tried flashing different versions' firmware to the N900P with no success.
