I used a program from the app strore called "PRL helper" worked great
Just noticed your using a GS3 but your posting in a NOTE3 forum. Not sure if that will work the same

If you are asking if you can write a verizon PRL to the note 3 yes you can, there are several different ways. PRL helper will work so will any of the methods you use with the GS3 (well probably) as it calls the same hidden settings on the note 3 as on the GS3. Somebody Correct me if wrong about that last part.
I figure you are asking because you want to upgrade to the Noe 3 possibly, go ahead all will be good.

Yes that is why I was asking I am due for an upgrade and I know that the mod works with certain modems ie. Mk3 but I have not seen much talk of such mods avail for the note 3. The ability to write the prl is important because the signal is horrible in my building which I spend 8 hrs in a day

Sprint Touch Pro on VZW Network

Okay
I bought the htc touch pro sprint version off a good deal. I used the elite team unlocker and I tossed the vzw leaked rom on the touch pro. Installation of the leaked rom went fairly well, and I thought I was ready to get this device connected via vzw network. I called vzw 3 times, went to 3 different stores, all have the same answer.
They cannot add the esn to their database. So my question is - what's the workaround regarding that policy? Do I have a very expensive alarm on my hands or is there something that can be done?
btw I haven't unlocked the msl code and I put the sprint rom (stock rom) back on the device to start fresh. Bear in mind I tried Getspc and I found that didn't work too well. I also tried QPST on vista and windows xp and the same popup on both machines came up (installing new drivers, please select driver location) to try and change the msl.
Any other thoughts or a good direction of where to go? I tried going to mobile files and I got an okay understanding of it, but an issue is well...I'm not sure of what to do.
I know there was a thread in the diamond forum to change the esn and I think that would be a good idea, what are your thoughts on it? Is it a good idea? Did I just open up pandora's box?
Try this
Go to forum.ppcgeeks.com
I believe I read something similar to this on that site. Don't know about the solution, but they are more advanced in dealing with the CDMA Pro, as they appear to have had it longer.
Sorry I couldnt help more. So Much for the Open Network Verizon promised.
Carriers sometimes are just a BIG Joke.
yeah I was reading two topics started by one guy...seems he went through the same drama that i went through
so I'm thinking from the discussion the only way would be to send the phone to verizon and I don't want to do that honestly
Dont
Don't Do it, and Verizon would rather you bu their own touch Pro when it gets released
Unless you can edit/spoof a Verizon ESN I don't think it's possible currently. If you do manage to find a way to do that, you need to be careful as it's probably illegal (as the ESN could belong to someone else -- and I'm sure there's laws in place to "protect you") -- Guessing at least, IANAL
Yes, technically it is illegal to change the ESN of a phone, however, I know that there was a way to change it (at least for the Mogul).
its been done
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=44663
trying it now and so far my results are exactly as advertised huzzah!
So what's the verdict? Success or Fail?

its my understanding that at this time vzn has suspended adding ESN's to there DMD. check the PPCgeeks post above your post and check to make sure though.
Yeah, I see they have some Sprint Touch Pro's on e-bay and I was thinking about getting one for my verizon account because they are cheaper and also I heard they have more processor memory or something. So does that no longer work, or can someone point me to a thread on this?
if you go to PPC geeks you can fint the post in the TP section.
I have a sprint touch pro on vzw network working perfectly using the above method a wile back, however 2 days ago i lost internet, and decided to activate an old phone and reactivate the touch pro to reset the internet settings on verizons network, when reactivating the sprint touch pro i was told the esn was invalad du to the fact that it was not 911 compadable,.. wich we allknow it is, but i believe verizon has just set their network to generate that error when a sprint esn is trying to be added, as of right now there is a truble ticken in with verizons it department but, im not very hopefull, i think my next step would be to clone an esn of a verizon phone i am not using, can anyone help me with that?
if it was anything close to what I had to do to get it on alltel, if you can get them to add the esn you may have to manually program it then add a prl then try *228 it....you do best to call vzw CS and tell them its theirs if they ask...

Updated tutorial on Touch Pro Sprint->Verizon?

I can't seem to find an up-to-date tutorial on performing this process. I found some from mid-2009, but people are commenting that *228 doesn't work, this thing doesn't work anymore, that thing doesn't work anymore. Has anyone done this process recently?
I am trying to get this phone onto Verizon without a data plan since I will just be using wifi.
As far as I know, Sprint phones are GSM, VrzWls are CDMA. Totaly different frequencies. It is impossable (without an enginering degree and a lot of solder) to make one work on the others towers.

There are a lot of people on these forums that have done it - I just can't find concise up-to-date directions.
have you tried loading a verizon prl on the phone? i have my sprint tp on pageplus, which is a verizon mvno, and it wouldn't program ota until i loaded the prl.
I have not tried loading anything yet. I am still looking for directions that are not from 2008. Also, I have no interest in custom roms at this point. I simply want the Sprint phone to work on the Verizon with the least amount of work.

Step 1. Grab your phone and take it to a Verizon store to have it activated on their network...
End of subject
There are other things that you can do manually, but since the only thing you are interested in is to have the phone working for a different carrier, then that is all you need to do.

The only true part about Thelgord's statement is that Verizon is a CDMA network. Please don't pay attention at anything else in that statement.

Verizon Prepaid now ACTIVELY TARGETING FLASHED USERS

So you know im in a wireless family.
I work at T-Mobile Corporate in Redmond, And my brother in New Jersey at verizon.
I personally use an optimus G SPRINT on Verizon Prepaid, Not that I dont like the T-Mobile speed, But lets be honest coverage sucks.
So the 1.5 to 2.5 MBPS nationwide I get on verizon is better. OK Back on point.
So my brother tells me Verizon is actively trying to combat the MIFI flashed to verizon prepaid, On mulitple fronts.
They have contacted ebay, and ebay sellers have been suspended.
And here is the one that sucks for all of us that use verizon prepaid.... They renew and send a new AAA Key every 4 to 7 days.....
And may also resend or renew the A-Key.
What that means for you if you are a verizon prepaid user and have a flashed phone but not the donor...... You sadly are screwed.
But I'm going to give you an easy fix, I have had to do it now twice.
You can also use QPST build 355 works for me, and copy all the data from the gusto to the other device.
Sadly my brother said they are not doing this targeting phone users, Verizon is not stupid they know people flash phones.
But they are targeting JETPACK and MIFI users.
He says in recent weeks they have seen Prepaid accounts that are using over 80GB of data a month on these supposed GUSTO's
So naturally verizon is now cracking down, This is similar to what Sprint and Boost Mobile did with ERROR 16.
Just giving you a heads up, And to flashers who flash the MiFi devices, Verizon is actively searching Craigslist and eBay, One eBay seller is now being sued by verizon and they found him on Craigslist in Salem, Oregon.
Just be careful, I use about 15GB a month on my Optimus and dont have any issues, Beyond having to reflash the info using the guide above once a week or so.
I also have seen less AAA resets when I keep the ROM Stock, And more resets and having to reflash when I got to a custom rom.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the write-up. Customers have been asking about this. So every 1-2 weeks? And nothing the customer can do without a reflash? Which phones do you use for donors?
This really only affects the mifi users. I keep a backup of my aaa and other passwords and they haven't changed in over a year. If for some reason you do have an issue dial *228 and it'll update for you on your evo 4g lte. Also I know I'm the pot calling the kettle black but mifi users use alot more data then any one else. I personally don't use them.

Your not really roaming it's the phone telling you it thinks that it's roaming due to sprints programing the phone. Turn off all roaming notifications in settings and change settings to allow all roaming. If that bothers you alot then flash the 53000 prl. But now you'll have your aaa keys good

First off Thanks for the Heads Up.
the OTA is Pretty self explanatory 1-Programs your phone & 2-Updates the PRL.
There isn't a good or bad choice it's either Program your Phone or if your phone is already programmed & you want to get the latest PRL you press 2(If you have a Verizon Android Flashed you won't get the roam triangle,The triangle is only if you have a non vzw android flashed over) but If any1 is worried about the roaming triangle or it just bothers you I have attached links to 4 different Modded PRL's that should remove the Triangle.
51807 PRL - The 51807 is an older Prl but Good. I know it works on alot of different Phones cause I have Flashed many many phones using this PRL all across the country
59317 PRL - The 59317 PRL is a newer PRL & I have used it but not on as much & not as many Phones as the 51807 just because it's newer. It is a good PRL as well but ymmv where you are with coverage so that's why I uploaded 4 diff PRL's
52979 PRL - I Have NOT USED this PRL
52515 PRL - I Have NOT USED this PRL
I use the 51807 & the 59317 PRL's when flashing phones to Straight Talk, Verizon PP, Page Plus & Next G. You can use these for ANY Carrier that uses Verizon's Network & they SHOULD work. I Hope they help some peps.
I am NOT Responsible for you, your phone, your actions or how you load these to your phone. So if you brick your Phone it is NOT my fault. Use QPST 2.7-366, CDMA WorkShop(use the Paid Version don't b cheap) or DFS to Load these. If you do a Google search you will find all of these

Hi guys my question to yall is how do yall get the *228 to go through everytime I try it it doesnt give me a keypad to select 1 or 2 and than I tryi to dial *22890 and *22891 and nothing it gives me an error message if anybody help I would greatly appreciate it thanks.
*228 will NOT work on a flashed sprint device it will never get data on its own you need to use a doner for that sorry. but to answer your question just dial *228 and leave it alone for like 3-4 minutes it will ota but wont get data
I am seriously new at this so please bear with me. What does one do if they do not have QPST (can't activate/register). I have been trying for 4 months to get my ota data to work. My wifi is fine while at home but when I leave I have no data connection. I can make calls and my gps works. But I have tried everything ##7764726 *#*#4636#*#* get me into settings but I do not know what should or should not be in there.
PLEASE HELP ME,

7-24-14 Mifis Flashed to Verizon since the 6-10-14 Update
Hello,
Just want to let you all know that we do have the original and so far only confirmed solution for flashing mifis to Verizon at this time. We have the 2200 the LC11 and the 801 and 802 working and are now almost done with the 4510 and then we will be working on the 4620 after that
We also have the solution to fix throttled mifis and prevent Verizon from throttling them again. In fact Verizon can never communicate with the device after the throttling fix is applied. We have this working on the 2200 and will be porting it out to all other mifis.
Once we get all the mifis working again on Verizon we will be working on porting the throttling solutions over to phones
I know I don't post alot on XDA but I wanted to share this information with the whole flashing community rather then just keeping it over at CDMA Gurus where I usually post
You can check out our videos and services via our websites
www.flashedphones.net
www.flashedmifis.net
Also here are our dev links
Hope this helps
thanks

[Q] How do I get this to work with AT&T [/Q]

I read a few threads and am confused, so I thought I would just ask. I have a few 4G LTE devices for Verizon and am ready to switch to AT&T. Let's just say that Verizon and I had an argument and it is time to switch. Plus I would be saving over $50 to switch to AT&T with a month to month with a BYOP plan.
I visited the AT&T store today and had them insert a SIM into my S4. I get the error "This SIM card is from an unknown source" in the banner. I get a signal strength and a H for where the data symbol 4GLTE is. Then it drops the signal and refuses to have a data connection. At this time the APN settings were NOT adjusted. This was a straight out of the box S4 rooted on NC5 with Android version 4.4.2. After messing with the S4 for awhile he moved to the S3 and entered the proper APN settings. It pulled data, but only at EDGE speeds or 1X. Also, my last device, a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, has no way of editing the APN settings. It is NOT rooted and is still on stock firmware.
My questions are these:
1. Can this be done?
2. What do I need to do to the phone(s)/tablet to make it work?
3. Will I be able to get 4G speeds?
I do not want to purchase phones with AT&T today because I just don't have the money. I already have these devices, I just want to swap them over. I am comfortable with flashing using ODIN and even so far as using safe-strap. I have flashed some custom roms, but my phone is a daily grind phone and I really want something that works 90% of the time.
Thanks in advance for any help!
EDIT:
None of the codes work either:

That thread just asks if the SIM card would work and if they would need to flash a GSM ROM to their S4. That thread does not answer the questions I asked. I just gave my insight after a visit with the AT&T store. Store techs tend to not know as much as the XDA community. That is why I asked here. So no, it is not a redundant thread. I appreciate your answer, but it isn't what I am looking for. Not a straight up yes or no, this or that.
As for the GSM locks I discussed, it was from an experience I had with a Motorola Droid 2 and using it on a local GSM provider in the USA. So yes, that was pre LTE.

My point, which you apparently missed, is that there is no reason for starting up yet another thread to ask questions that have already been answered. That''s why I said that this is redundant.
OK, let me answer your questions.
1. Can this be done?
Yes, you can install an AT&T SIM, set up the APN, and it will work. What bands you get and what bandwidth you get depends on what bands AT&T are using in your area. You won't likely be able to get LTE speed; most likely just Edge. You can't fix that, as it's a limitation of the phone's radio hardware. Again, some people have made claims that you can flash the AT&T GS4 modem on a Verizon phone and change that, but that's pretty risky as it will likely brick your phone.
2. What do I need to do to the phone(s)/tablet to make it work?
It works, for some level of "work". If you're stock,some people have reported that the firmware requires CDMA for some functions, like SMS. I haven't verified that. I was able to send SMS with my phone and a UK SIM which uses the AT&T network.
3. Will I be able to get 4G speeds?
Not likely. For example, see here http://phandroid.com/2012/12/10/nexus-4-att-lte/ - the common band, LTE Band 4, has limited AT&T coverage.
I haven't gone over the specs of the two phones lately to match them up, so that may be worth looking at again.

Thank you for your answer. I decided to trade the phones into AT&T and get a credit towards a Samsung S4 and a Asus Padphone X. After I read a few more posts over the internet and a few more hours figuring out how LTE works I came across the answer. I did miss what you meant and I apologize. Again, thank you for your answer.

Unlock Sprint LS990 for any CDMA carrier!!!

Hi guys,
I spent a lot of time trying to do this and would like to share my SUCCESSFUL efforts with you all!
First let me clarify some of the terminology. Sprint and other carriers program their hardware EPROM to their network specs and lock access to it. This lock is called the MSL code!!! [Master Software Lock?? ]. You would need this code if you want to make any changes to it.
Electronically Programmable Non Volatile (ie a fixed value chip)ROM which is also called NV Rom (NV in short) is where the carrier customization are stored and read from when the phone boots up. The unlock process changes the carrier data to be read from a SIM card instead of from programmed NV. Also note that CDMA or GSM SIMs are actually called RUIMs in the tech world (<--Wiki this). Something I learnt the hard way...
Second, this is not rom flashing (i.e putting another OS on your phone's SSD card and updating the boot records). You will be programming the phone and if you mess up mommy wouldn't be able to help you . There would be noway to unbrick your phone so check your USB cable (most common culprit) virus scanners running on your PC etc etc.. before you try this.
Please thank Vinod Nayak at Rimweb for putting this all together for us. I am in Tokyo and have followed these guides to successfully unlock my Sprint LS990 to work on AU by KDDI (albeit only with 3G speed). So if you are still reading get a cup of coffee and head on to the sites below and read on. Please note you may need to register on their forum to see the screen caps (recommended).
You need the MSL code to reprogram your phone. Follow this guide to obtain it first and keep handy.
http://www.rimweb.in/forums/topic/37104-lg-g3-sprint-ls990-cdmagsm/
There were other guides found on XDA that will find your phone's MSL code. Once you have this go to the next step below..

Let me know if it worked for you!! Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to you all!!
UPDATE:
I updated to CM12 based ROM 10 mins back and data works without any APN setting!!!
so...???
So, this will allow me to take my Sprint LS990 to Verizon?
If you get a sim/ruim from VZ I think you should me able to. Try it and share your experience.....
If I do this will my Sprint service stop working until I change back to NV_Only?
You can select RUIM Preffered setting instead of ruim only. That should allow the phone to default back when a ruim is not present in the slot. This is what I actually did.

This seems to be the closest thing we have to a proper carrier unlock, especially if the RUIM preferred option sticks and allows continued function on Sprint (if desired). There's a thread in another form (can't remember where) that has a method for unlocking all the phones radio bands. These 2 things combined could make a true world phone, increasing the dollar value and function.
I jacked around with DFS on my old LGOG with an embedded SIM and no bootloops, although RUIM preferred wouldn't stick, it gave me a chance to look around. Has anyone successfully unlocked their G3 to use a SIM or any CDMA carrier with this method?
I'm not ready to pull the trigger on it but am thinking about picking up a used G2 to mess around with and see what I can do.

So with this method we will be able to flash any ls990 ROM and still have data?

It's still an LS990 at the end of the day so I think there needs to be some built in ROM compatibility.

Will this method improve my signal? I'm currently on gsm by way of build prop method.

I don't know about that. I think you're looking for a corporate PRL which allows faster speeds when roaming. I'm looking for someone who is in the US and still on Sprint but tested the RUIM preferred method with other SIMs and back to Sprint domestically to see if it works forward and backwards.

Just curious...Why would a CM12 guide matter? Are you not able to set Diagnostic ##3424# in CM?

Anyone who is currently on Sprint try the RUIM PREFERRED setup? Curious if we can just go ahead and set it up and swap SIMS from Sprint to other at our leisure.

I'm wanting to try this with Ting (since it's BYOD blacklisted until August), but I'm curious about the "only 3G" issue the OP had. It wouldn't be so bad, but it would be nice to be able to revert back once August rolls around to get on the 4G. So my question is:
- Does this process change things that can be backed up / undone? (I'm guessing not, but would love to be wrong)
Incidentally, Ting is rolling out GSM support as we speak, so I may try to go that route first, though I think I might only get Edge speeds...

3G issues (LTE not working) might have something to do with the bands. Unlocking more radio bands on the qual comm is another process that is documented in other forums. Very detailed and you don't want to mess up.
Here's something

Interesting, thanks for the tip. It does look a bit scary, haha -- we'll see if I get to that point. I posted a question on the forum the OP was referencing about the possibility of undoing / reverting to a backup after doing that process. I'll post here if I find out elsewhere.

I've got everything working on the stock rom using this method with my AT&T sim. (However, I have RUIM only enabled) But I can't seem to get cm12 working. Radio acts like it wants to work, but it's very slow with sms, and the dialer doesn't work at all.
I have my "Preferred network type" set to "Global." I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how you have CM12 working. Also, I've tried a couple other compatible ROMs. Do you have any other information on what you did to get it working?
Reviving an old thread....
On the link to unlocking most of the images to help out are no longer valid. Can someone help out with getting through the process?
I have a Motorola moto G XT1031 CDMA phone. I am trying to unlock it myself with the unlock code. If you have any information that would help, can you please respond ASAP, please.
