Hi there, I flashed a verizon samsung galaxy s4 to pageplus and now I want to be back to normal carrier verizon. I did the hard reset and activated my verizon sim card. But, the call and text doesn't work, only the 3G data works. The IMEI number on the phone is different from the back of the battery. Any help how to solve this?

I originally bought a HTC HD2, which I rooted and also had to use the sim card it came with since my old one wouldnt work. Fast forward from than to today, and my friend sold me his tmobile samsung galaxy s2 I put in my hd2 sim into that and I can send/recieve phone calls and send and recieve text, and when I first entered my google account it downloaded all my contacts. I have a 3G data plan, is it true I have to update my plan to 4g to use the data on this phone? or is it my sim card isnt completely compatible and i need to get a new sim from tmobile in order to get data again.
Or can i just root my phone like i did with my hd2, than i would get data back?
I just want and answer from here first before I go to tmobile store, or go only to my account and do everything from there.

T-mobile USA?
T-mobile USA's Galaxy S2 is a different device. This forum is for the GT-i9100. T-mobile USA's Galaxy S2 is the SGH-T989. The forum for that device is http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1329
I am currently trying to flash a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (i605) to PagePlus. I have rooted and unlocked using Casual. Currently running Stock Rooted (root66) but I have also tried using CleanROM VZW with the same results.
Currently I am able to make/rec calls and txts on PagePlus when the SIM card is NOT in the phone. When the sim card is out of the phone, I cannot get a data connection (1x or 3g)
Whenever I put the VZW sim card in the phone, it cycles through Verizon automatic activation mode (*22899?) repeatedly, freezing the phone from being accesible (Please wait while your phone is being activate msg) until it eventually times-out after 3 or 4 tries.
I have tried renaming /system/app/setupwizard.apk to bak, but that has not helped stop the activation.
Can anyone tell me what (or how) I need to do to get this phone flashed to get 3g and/or stop this annoying Verizon activation process?
The sim card I am using is brand new, purchased from VZW and is not tied to any account.
Any help is greatly appreciated
UPDATE:
Fixed the problem but putting CM10.1 on the device and changing the cdma subscription to SIM
I bought a Verizon S4 from swappa that had been rooted and unlocked and used on the AT&T network. With a factory reset I couldn't get my sim to work in the phone and so I used Odin to completely restock my device to stock everything. I took it to Verizon and after a couple of hours of trying to figure this thing out they confirmed that it was not attempting to connect to Verizon but AT&T.
Anyone have any idea how I can make it try Verizon instead? I was thinking I'd be rooting it again but I'm pretty lost.
Ok, I have have a galaxy s4 and my sis sent me her Verizon Note 4. I put my tmobile sim card in and got the this is not verizon notification. I've read some of of the forums here about changing the apn and changed each field like users here said to, changed to global network restarted and I still get no signal. There's still an inactive verizon sim, I've heard factory reset with verizon sim then change apn then put tmobile sim in but that doesn't work either. Please help, this phone is so much better tan my tiny s4 I don't want to ditch it or switch to verizon.
allow me to explain my situation. when i first got this phone, i had LTE throughout my area. i installed a rom of stang5litre edition which ended up frying my motherboard but i believe it was from flashing it incorrectly and trying to flash the OC1 kernel when i was running OH7 which is OF1 on postpaid. so instead of replacing the fried emmc chip and getting the equipment to do it all, i bought a clean esn motherboard that was taken out of a regular i545 an not a i545pp. it works perfectly with calls, texts and 3G but not LTE. i called customer service many times, tried factory reset, bought a new sim card cause they thought it was bad (which i put in my friends s4 and had LTE instantly so i know the new sim card isnt the issue) it is set on global in settings and running OH7 stock 5.0.1 latest. i cant figure out why everything else works but no LTE. by the sounds of things, im not gonna be able to get a replacement cause verizon says its samsung that does the warranty replacement then samsung turns and says its verizon's fault with the signal and that they replace it. so this is left in my own hands it seems. can anyone help me out? maybe wrong prl or something? any help is very much appreciated....
Anyone with input or suggestions please? ??
