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.

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.
Hi!
I have a Verizon Samsung Fascinate (SCH-i500) currently working with PagePlus Talk and Text. I bought it from somebody, so I'm a second owner. Mostly I use wi-fi, but sometimes I need to use data/mms. I went to a PagePlus dealer and asked about enable data/mms, he said I can't use it because PagePlus dose not allow data/mms on smartphone. I searched about solution more than a week, but I couldn't find it. Can you help me with your magic hands? I have QPST program. If you can, please give me a step by step instruction.
Thanks!!!
I just activated a Fascinate with Page Plus today, and I seem to be having the same issue with no data or mms working. Calls and text seems to be working fine though. I bought the phone off ebay, so it was previously used with Verizon service. I've searched for the past week on this as well, and I can't seem to find any instructions on what to do, and Page Plus CS is pretty useless. Any help would greatly be appreciated, thanks in advance!
I don't really know how to fix it but maybe I.have some information that can send you in the right direction.
First, there was a thread where people got the fascinate working on either US.cellular or cricket. That may help you get some information.
Second im pretty sure they had to use qpst to change the settings.
Third I think the problem had to do with the prl information in the phone.

Hey thanks for your reply. I looked into people flashing to cricket and there isn't much information on that either. Plus I can't seem to find any apn settings or anything like that for Page Plus. I've prob spent another 6 hrs today on this with no luck. If anyone has any info about getting data and mms working it will be a huge help. Pretty much everything I find online are people asking what I'm asking with no responses.
For data, you require qpst build 215. Flash the correct ppp settings for your carrier. Any other build will yield you nothing. As far as mms, use apn back up to flash the correct settings.
Hey I really appreciate you giving me an idea with qpst. Unfortunately I'm still stuck at one part, so I'm hoping you might be able to clear that up for me. I downloaded qpst 2.7 build 215, I got my phone in dial up mode from **33284, set the COM port to 1, so I have the QPST service program recognizing my device, and I'm at the PPP Config tab. Only problem is I have no idea what values to enter for anything, I see 3 tabs "Rm", "Um", and "AN" and in each one there are spaces for values of "LCP", "IPCP", "IPCPv6". Then there are spaces for user id, password, tethered NAI, retries, timeout, primary dns, secondary dns, optimized dormant handoff, 1xEVDO->1x. So I really don't know where to begin. I've tried searching all over to see what I'm supposed to set if I want my phone working with Page Plus. Can't seem to find any clear answers. Anyways sorry for the long message. Hopefully you can clear some of this up for me. Again I really appreciate your help, thanks!
I just activated a fascinate on pp as well. Data works for me (haven't tried mms). Have you tried calling pp and verifying that data is enabled on the account? Also maybe an esn reset. The folks over at howard forums are pretty helpful too. Good luck!

Wow, sounds like you got lucky! I did call Page Plus to verify if data was enabled and it is. I guess I should call back and try the esn reset your suggesting. But as of right now I still don't have the data or mms working

Also when you log into your Page Plus account is your phone listed as generic? Mine is listed as generic, and with Phone features as SMS and voicemail. No mention about data on the phone. Even though my plan has 100 mb of data. I do see 100 mb of data listed under the plan on the right though.
I'm getting a fascinate off ebay.
how to use it on pageplus?
$.99c activation service on ebay will activate the phone since it is Verizon phone?
or i have to use qpst?? software?
You guys think my data and mss might not be working due to the fact that I'm running a custom rom and 2.2.1? As opposed to the stock 2.1? I want to get some feedback, before I odin back to 2.1 to test it out, thanks.
I got exactly the same issue.
I know for a fact that the phone is not a problem, because it was working for last half a year with pageplus. I ported a phone number from google voice today and lo and behold, data not working anymore. I tried calling pageplus, they reset data service twice, didn't help. I also tried re-programming by calling numbers from here: http://pageplusdealer.com/PagePlus/catalog/ActivationInstructions.php . I tried reflashing firmware, kernel, and radio, and nothing. It isn't even trying to data connect.
Anyone knows what to do with QPST to try helping the issue?
*EDIT*: I figured it out. QPST showed wrong NAI. Somehow instead of [email protected], it was some completely bogus number with completely bogus domain name. Anyway, I reset it to correct value, and it works fine now. I have absolutely no idea why was it reprogrammed, and why *22890 didn't put it back.
Use (Page Plus Cellular) i have a Galaxy S Fascinate (Verizon) and data / mms work perfectly, I'm on $29.95 Plan 1200 min / 3000 text, 100 mb Data per month.
I'm on my 3rd and hopefully last 3D. All 3 of them 3G sucked right out of the box. I tried the tricks of changing Home and Roam settings but that really didn't do much but slow down upload speed. Out of the box they all had download speeds of like 130kbps...bad experience. After reprovisioning and resetting data my d/l is from 795-1055kbps. This was the same result on all 3 phones! Here is what I did, may be overkill, but i'm totally happy:
##72786#
select edit and enter MSL
select menu and then Reset
After phone goes through "hands free activation" and your back at your dialer, enter this:
##3282#
select edit and enter MSL
select data profile
select menu and select Restore
After your rebooted and back at your home screen go into settings/system updates/ and update your profile. That's it, hopefully you see some improvements!

No problem...glad it worked for you! Not sure if you're into Sprint NFL or Sprint NASCAR but now they will open up. Before doing this it would tell me I had to put it into airplane mode to reset data...but it would never work!
2 questions:
1) How do I find my MSL?
2) Will I lose any of my apps or important data by doing the above?

Call into customer service to get MSL#
Or check the development section for a "program" that finds it within your phone fore you
*its easiest to just call in and get it*
And no, no apps or app data will be deleted that I know of.. op would have to confirm this but I've done this a few times with no ill effects

Exactly what nate420 said, you won't lose anything and it's easiest to just call Sprint for MSL if you're not comfortable with CDMA Workshop.
One thing I'm not sure about. ACCOLC setting on this phone is 5. It was 6 on the last phone, and it's 4 on my EVO 4G. What is ACCOLC showing for you guys?
Confirmed to work! Saw great improvements from before. Thanks for this!!

Input your MSL code.
If you have temp root, download msl reader from the market (it's free) and doesn't require a phone call. Worked for me.
Didnt do **** for me.
Called sprint was advised that as of March the 1st that they are no longer giving the MSL unless you are out of contract....

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.
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!
It would probably be a good idea to omit

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

How long should it take? Do I need to re-run the initial phone setup to make it activate?
And to your question, did you try the 8sms application here with the PagePlus setttings? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41195590#post41195590
Yes I used 8sms and don't run the initial phone setup again

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??
