I'm going to flash my TB to PagePlus but was waiting until the all-in-one tool is available, hopefully next week. The guy I bought the phone off accepted the OTA ICS update.
If I flash the phone to Pageplus first and then do the root after, does anyone know if rooting will screw up the flashing? I don't think it will but thought I'd ask YOU experts!
Thanks
Probably should root first just in case

Rooting after flashing to Page Plus should be okay.
As long as you don't mess with any radios, I'd assume.
I can't get the data up
I CAN'T GET THE DATA UP on my HTC Thunderbolt on Page Plus
I've been working on this phone for 3 days now, following every tutorial I can find, and I can't seem to get the data up. With the 4g card in I can SEE the APN, but can't edit it. With the card out my phone won't let me see it. I don't know if the settings are right, so I'm going to try to attach screen shots of my settings. I hope someone can help me get data on this phone. I can call and text, but no data.

Everything I read says its due to the HA/AAA keys. Without them, you can't authenticate. I've got voice/data/txt working with or without a SIM card. It doesn't seem to care except for the NAG message.

I put "vzw" in the secrets like I was directed. However...there were 32 digit HEX Keys in the fields already. Unfortunately I had no data...even with them. Should I put them back?
I don't have anything in those fields and mine is stock.

I'd put them back and try again. Try leaving the SIM out also. I have an AT&T SIM in mine and I get at least 1x data.

I replaced my 4g Card with an older At&T sim, and put the Secrets in. Still no data. I have screenshots of my settings. If you'll give me some place to send them, I really need this data.

rampart51 what did you end up doing? Did flash first, root second work? I currently have an ICS 4.0.4 that has been flashed to PP. I want to root it so that I can uninstall verizon crap like Slacker Radio and Tune Wiki.

To be honest....I haven't done it yet. Been too busy and the All in one tool looks like it may have a few issues.....I'm gonna wait it out. I have been on PP for a few weeks now. No issues. No 3g but I don't really need it.
I flashed to Page Plus months ago and I love it... I get the same thing as I had with verizon but I pay $29 instead of $89 a month. I had a company called beigephone.com flash my phone for $50 because I didn't have time to figure it out myself. my 3g works perfectly though, so if your 3g doesn't work maybe your settings need to be fixed. did you flash it for Page Plus yourself? I'd actually like to learn how to do it, especially if it can be done without using CDMA WS.
I just used the all-in-one tool + revolutionary to root a different thunderbolt that was still on gingerbread (2.11.605.19). The only hiccup was that I had to remove/re-install the HTC drivers twice (solution here).
Please let me know if you decide to try it out on your ICS thunderbolt!

Although it isn't bad to have just in case. The PRL will connect your phone to Alltel towers if there are any closer to you, if not, it will just use a VZW tower.
/!\WARNING/!\: Doing *228 in dialer , will overwrite the PRL to the regular VZW PRL.
A stronger signal usually has big benefits, especially on battery life.
Unfortunately, it won't help some people. But still, it's always good to have.
1) Click Here to download PRL
2)Take this , and put it on your phone's sd card. Don't put it in any folders on your sd card, just leave it at the front.
3) Go to the dialer and write, ##778 and press call, hold and you should get a pop up.
4) Select Edit Mode, then enter 000000 (6 zeros) as the password.
5) Slide down to PRL, and press Update PRL. ( Please wait a while, it takes some time)
6)Once there, slide down the keyboard and you should see the Hybrid PRL file,press on it, and then press OK.
7) It should bring you to the menu you were before, press the menu button on your phone and select Commit Modifications.
8) The phone will update and reboot. Congrats, you flashed the PRL!
View Snapshots
These pictures pretty much sum it up, Thanks csshih for your fail snapshots and thank sed for upping the PRL to multiupload. =p
Hope this helps some out there!
bah, fail snapshots :3
Thank you very much!
if you dial *228 will it over write the hybrid?
Im guessing yes but i just want to check
didn't alltel merge with verizon, so wouldn't that mean that they are already sharing towers.

Yeah when I went to the alltel site to find the coverage map, it asked for my zip code then said that my area was operated by verizon and it had a link to verizon wireless saying that I should go to that site.... did some more investigating and found that alltel's towers were bought by the big companies.... so it seems...

I've installed EPST.apk from another rom and it appears in the installed applications list, but ##778 still does nothing. Other ideas?
EDIT: Since ##778 fails I tried launching EPST by making a shortcut to it with anycut. It somewhat works. View mode locks the phone up until you hit home. Edit mode asks for password, but after entering it takes forever trying to verify the password before it times out. So I'm still screwed.

I knew ##778 fails on my phone so I did a nandroid backup, wiped, retored to my Ivan .8 backup and flashed the prl from there.
Then restored back to previous rom.
It is a long process but it does work.
Wow.
I did a test before and after flashing this and got these results:
Before: 90kb/s down, 26 kb/s up.
After: 247kb/s down, 79.5kb/s up.
Did the test from the same spot literally 2 min apart.
Gotta say, this may have just solved my reception issues here in Virginia.

plug charger into phone, put in airplane mode, put to sleep for a min, take out of airplane mode, unplug. No time without signal........unless you reboot, then start from beginning.
Only known fix
On the Aloysius V7 Rom and no ##778 either. Is it a sprint rom issue? I take it that if I flash the PRL in another backup and go back to this one the PRL stays or is it part of the Rom also?
Just another example of information being spread all over the place. Framework, I wish you would have just put this information with the thread that was started here:

You experienced android folks on this forum always gripe and complain about the new people and the repetative questions and then you split the information all over the place making this confusing and disorganized.
Im glad you know a way to get this Hybrid PRL on the Eris without a call to Vzn but for some the easiest way is to just call Vzn and request it.
And by the way, If you knew about this PRL, why did you wait till it was pointed out by someoe else before you started a thread.

Don't take it personally, framework probably just didn't want to hijack your thread, so instead he made a thread with instructions and the download are the first post so users don't have to dig deep in the forum. XDA is pretty good on the amount of repeat threads compared to other sites so its not a huge deal. Either way you both have done the purpose of the forum: inform and instruct.

Thanks for explaining, I couldn't have said it any better.
Anyways, I recommend calling though, its the most updated PRL and is easier for some people.
05swtc,I just think its easier so people could know where to find it, as your thread title wouldn't point them out to it, and it would be easier for them to get it off the first post.
I don't appreciate the sarcastic post you replied with, as I had a reason behind doing so, and I find that this way makes things way less confusing, infact, its a lot more organized.
Is there any negative side effects to doing this? I have an ok connection but lately it's been stuck on like 1 or 2 bars. And I'm in Arkansas so since the map shows it's basically covered, I'm assuming it'll help.
Just updated this, my old PRL version was 51866, this hybrid one is 65024. I live in the tri-state area so I probably won't see a difference. I'll post here if I do.
Hello,
I have been using my HTC Evo 3D for sometime now and have recently noticed a strange app thing in my app list which i did not install and the worst thing is that i can't uninstall it. I am attaching a couple of screen shots of the app below. I will be thankful to the kind soul who'll help me solve this problem. The app is named " *116# " and if i click on it...it says USSD code running and then gives me a message "Service is currently unavailable GW1".
*i have tried factory resetting and formatting my SD card.
*my phone is not rooted.
*It doesn't appear in the running applications, just the applications list
*HELP!

That's strange. I tried to google it and found nothing. Did it just show up or did you JUST notice it? What country/carrier do you have? Could you give us as much info as possible?
"We're coming from a pure power source."
Are you on a GSM 3d or Sprint? If Sprint, this is not a "factory" system app so it should NOT be there and may be a root kit/virus. If you're not rooted, you will have to root to be able to remove it via root explorer. Probably be in system/app since you say it's uninstallable. If you're on a GSM phone I have no idea whether it's supposed to be there or not....so I won't advise whether to remove or not. Good luck.

Your phone has the herps bud. Were you in Vegas recently?
On a more serious note, the description says it has access to "Services which cost you money" which could potentially access financial information stored on your phone.
If you are adamant about not rooting it then you should have nothing to fear about taking it in and letting the service technicians remove it for you at your cell phone provider's store front. If they can't remove it I would ask for a new device. It never hurts to ask.

On a more serious note, it says it has full access to communications meaning someone can hijack you and call all over the world with your number and leave you the bill.
I'd swap that phone out ASAP and make sure you are only downloading from a the Play Store and not off some website to save a buck for an ad-free angry birds....
I agree with PMG, both scenarios are bad, get tech support in person from the provider and have them take care if it.
i think its from simcard..

I have TWRP installed on my LGOG e970, with bootloader unlocked.
I [very recklessly] tried to install MIUI on my phone. TWRP didn't say "Failed" or anything of the sort when it was applied. It said everything went smoothly. I rebooted the system and now the phone won't even boot back into bootloader. If I try to hold the volume up + power button for more than 10 seconds, it starts flashing the power button consistently, but it stops when I let go of the buttons. Computer won't recognize it and I can't get it into Download Mode.
Any help?
Knowing what MIUI ROM you tried to install could possible help. Not that I will be able to though.

If you plug phone into charger, does power button flash rapidly. If so you need to disconnect battery.
3.1.25 off the miui.us website.
no. the phone literally does nothing until i hold the power button [i've found that it's just the power button; volume buttons dont really matter] for more than 10 seconds.

Yeah it wouldn't have even come close to working. Unfortunately, it must have done some serious re-mapping to your partitions. Since you can't get into download mode, there is no chance of LGNPST to stock. Maybe someone in IRC knows a trick but it looks like your phone is toast. Try to get LG to do a warranty replacement. Just say it stopped working.

Can flashing something in recovery actually remap the partitions?

I really don't get how he openly admits to flashing a completely wrong ROM. Like how do you manage to unlock, root, install TWRP, find MIUI, and flash it, but have no idea it's bad. The rom he flashed is over 6 months old too, and he just though everything "would magically work." He even works for AT&T you've got to be kidding me.

for science!!!
lol you guys are funny. i've been rooting, jailbreaking, unlocking and developing for 6 years; it's not like i dont know what i'm doing. i figured it'd brick it, but not this bad. you can almost ALWAYS fix a brick. i was just seeing if anyone knows of a solution, since it's a fairly new phone and even newer to me. if you dont push your limits, you dont know how far the phone can go. simple as that. working for at&t has no relevance; there are some technology-stupid reps out there.
if you're gonna make a mess, make sure you can clean it up. no worries, i have a new LG now with zero expense. notice the lack of worry in this thread. moral of the story: don't push your phone when you're drunk!
thanks for the positive reinforcement though, guys. you've all been so sweet.

lol you guys are funny. i've been rooting, jailbreaking, unlocking and developing for 6 years; it's not like i dont know what i'm doing. i figured it'd brick it, but not this bad. you can almost ALWAYS fix a brick. i was just seeing if anyone knows of a solution, since it's a fairly new phone and even newer to me. if you dont push your limits, you dont know how far the phone can go. simple as that. working for at&t has no relevance; there are some technology-stupid reps out there.
if you're gonna make a mess, make sure you can clean it up. no worries, i have a new LG now with zero expense. notice the lack of worry in this thread. moral of the story: don't push your phone when you're drunk!

FTFY.
No OTA love in Florida! Better off downgrading and rooting anyways.
Im in florida and I got ota, may just like be your phone reboot in recovery and clear cache maybe that'll work.
I even did a reactivation. You near South Florida?
Its because there isn't much going on till Friday.

Cool, where did that info come from
I don't see why Sprint or even LG doesn't have a downloadable update via website that computer literate people can use to update their own phones

How is your battery life? I've heard mixed things since people have updated. I'm mostly interested in Lollipop for the improved encryption.

I got that rollout information (proof: http://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/2wbswp/sprint_lollipop_rollout_schedule/ ) from a Sprint live chat.
Reading the comments on Reddit from the link you posted- I CAN CONFIRM THAT THIS COMMENT WORKS! AFTER DOING THIS AND CHECKING FOR UPDATE - I rebooted.... went back to said LG SOFTWARE UPDATE and I am NOW downloading the update! PS Make sure you change your connection back to lte
[–]WereAllThieves04 1 point 10 hours ago
I'm from Chicago and wasn't part of the 10% that received the update. I forced the update to my phone by repeating this process: 1) Shutting off data, wi-fi and location. 2) Clearing data for Google Services Frameworks under ALL apps in settings. 3) Went into settings and under Wireless Networks I clicked More...>Mobile Networks>Network Mode> cdma 4) Checked for LG software updates under system updates and found it.

I genuinely believe you guys are messing with me lol
I can't believe it myself but it worked for me!!! I was surprised since they have been saying all along that wiping data on any google services would not jump start the update.. but it did.
Man do I like the update
No update here in Lincoln, NE either. I tried clearing data a few times...no luck. Are guys just clearing data on the framework services?

Did you do all of the steps? All I know is after following those steps verbatim.. It worked (I'm near philly)
If this rollout is true, I'm not surprised no one has it yet! I got this from another thread.. not sure which one anymore.

Yes followed the instructions exactly. Although they don't say to turn mobile data back on before checking for the update, but I tried doing that too with no success.

It does work. At least for me and many others. Took one try, update came right up. Live in Chicago myself and seems like the initial roll out was isolated to a small percent around Florida.
I know this might be a long shot since it's an old phone and whatnot, but I've recently breathed new life into my Mega from US Cellular. Had the screen repaired and it's good to go again after previously being destroyed by an estranged ex. I was wondering if there is a way to get the latest marshmallow update to the device? I've seen there are numerous posts for all other Mega models (i.e. - all models except the one I own). I would really like to use my Mega again but with it being on Kitkat, it's kind of useless at the moment.
Any help or advice whatsoever would be greatly appreciated.
And again, I apologize if I'm bringing up an old, dead phone, but I really loved this device years ago and I would like to love it again.
Cheers!

Not 100% sure about this, as I am only doing the same as you are with my L600 model (minus the screen repair >.<) lol.
For the Sprint model at least it is pretty much compatible with anything made by Silesh. Hopefully it is the same for you on USC .
Have you gained root or anything yet? that's going to be your first step on anything, old or not hopefully xD.

I have rooted my phone, but I have yet to find any roms that are higher than 4.4.2. I'm able to use the phone as it is just by inserting my active sim card, but hardly any of my daily apps will run because of the old OS. I've been too afraid to try any of the other roms for the other megas as I don't want to brick my phone. I just hope there's some way to bring this phone back to life. Hell, even lollipop would be a huge help at this point, lol.

Haha yea I beyond understand, my daily driver is a Moto E 2014 CDMA only device xD.
If you have acquired root, & custom recovery, try extracting the ROM u wish to install, & ONLY flash the boot.img, I do believe that Lollipop would run on most KK Kernels without much fussing.

So, I just made a discovery (I think). After taking the back of the phone off to retrieve my IMEI, I noticed that the model number on the phone says L600/R960. Does this, in theory, mean that I can use any roms that would normally be available to the L600 line of megas on my US Cell mega?!

You should be able to not ONLY use any of the great L600 Sprint based custom ROMs, but as I said before anything by Silesh.Nair should actually be compatible . & your radios should stay safe if you don't flash those over, however I am NOT 100% sure of anything I just said, still roughly 80% sure you won't do any real bricking or harm to it xD.
Also, would love to get a PM to discuss how much difficulty you had with your screen replacement, as mine is getting to be totally irresponsive in general haha.

Finally got a day to myself to test out some of these roms and see whether they work or not. As for the screen repair, I had a Verizon store do it for me. I originally was going to attempt it myself, but after reading a very detailed instructable for it.....I changed my mind, lol.

I do believe you & I have found the same instructions LOL. Verizon store huh?? Wonder if we even have one around these parts hehe, really sucks the newest ROMs seem to require TWRP as I am confined to the volume buttons/home as the only real means of navigation. But thank you for the info, I have friends who work for Verizon so maybe they can help

So I managed to get a custom rom and whatnot onto my Mega. I'm currently running Cm12.1 with Philz Touch Recovery. Been using the phone for almost 24 hours now and all is working well. The only issue I've found this far is that despite being a 4G LTE phone, I can only manage to get 3G. This could just be a carrier problem and not the phone or rom. I'm not at home right now, but when I get home I'll post the instructions I used to get everything working. Cheers!

So I did that and found that my GSM service is currently active, yet my preferred network type is set to LTE/CDMA. I tried changing it to LTE/GSM to see if that would help anything, but it just sets itself back to CDMA after a few seconds.

Try switching it to GSM auto (PrL) or CDMA/GSM/LTE, & also keep in mind, some of these old phones simply tell you 3G when in reality you're getting the untapped lol
I dedicated like a week to getting free 4G LTE service, finally have it untapped thru VZW

I did try your suggestion, but as I said before, none of the changes I make seem to stick. After a few seconds, I can watch the setting change right back to the default setting. I don't know if I'm missing something to make the setting take hold, but for now I'm stuck on LTE/CDMA auto (PRL). I wasn't even aware this was a GSM phone as I thought US Cellular used CDMA. I could be wrong, though.
