So start with a rooted and backed up lg g3 ls990 from sprint
you will need shortcut master (lite virsion works)
***not sure if this just tricks the phone or actualy makes it multi carrier enabled****
if your phone bricks or otherwise faults as a direct resault of any part of my instruction i am not responsible. It is your phone take care of it and be carefull
***go to shortcut master
****pull down the menu (tri dot top right)
*****tap search
******in the text box type "brand"
*******select the last option (out of 3) should say brand test somewhere in there
********chose the explorer option~~
*********tap change brand
**********your now looking at a list of brands under the sprint network
***********select the option that you desier and within 2 seconds your phone will auto reboot and update/upgrad
*********profit
********this will also fix any native app problems you might have after a return to stock
******would like to know if you try a boost sim will it work on boost?
*****thank you
***and thank custom recovery!!!
Thats it have a lucky patched new year
I'll bite. I think this is pretty cool if it does work. Thanks for your contribution.

@Pesto_Alfanzo thanks for this! Ever since I flashed the new ZV6 firmware I could not run the Sprint Zone app no matter what I did, and Wifi Calling had disappeared from settings. I followed the directions and chose "Sprint" and now everything is back to normal! This also changes the boot and shutdown animations back to the Sprint defaults, but it's a quick fix to change them back.

actually you are wrong... the law states that you can not change the esn of a phone period...
In an Order, the commission adopted a rule (22.919) requiring that all cellular telephones for which type acceptance is sought after January 1, 1995, must be designed such that the factory-set ESN can not be reprogrammed. At the same time, the commission stated that it considers any knowing use of cellular telephone with an altered ESN to be a violation of the Communications Act (Section 301) and alteration of the ESN in a cellular telephone to be assisting in such violation. The Wireless Telephone Protection Act (Public Law 105-172) was signed into law on April 24, 1998, expanding the prior law to criminalize the use, possession, manufacture or sale of cloning hardware or software.
The cellular equipment manufacturing industry has deployed authentication systems that have proven to be a very effective countermeasure to cloning. Authentication supplements the use of the ESN and MIN with a changing encrypted code that can not be obtained by off-the-air monitoring.

How do I backup all of my flashed Boost mobile settings?
You folks seem to be a very knowledgable crowd, perhaps you can help me with this.
I just purchased an Evo 3d and had it flashed over to boost at my local boost store. Upon picking it up from them he went over a few things, most of which made perfect sense like not updating certain things because it will set me back to sprint but the one thing that did not is he said no hard resets. Problem being most if not every custom rom either automatically or advise you to do a factory reset from custom recovery. How am I supposed to flash my precious cyanogenmod with that hanging over my head lol? So I've been trying to learn how to flash using cdma workshop and qpst so that I can copy/backup all of the already flashed Boost info so that if things go wrong Im good. Also I hear some of the non-SENS based roms require little workarounds to keep data and mms going which also would probably require a copy of the Boost flash info. Things like the AAA shared secret and HA secret etc.
Any insight to this problem would be most appreciated!

Hard reset and factory reset are different. The factory reset option won't interfere with your boost service....After you flash a new rom all you'll need to do (w/every flash) is ##data# go to advanced scroll to mms url and change it to http://mm.myboostmobile.com or if you're not on a sense rom I think you can go to messages- settings-MMS-connection settings and change the MMSC field to http://mm.myboostmobile.com
That should be it...remember boost uses sprint's network so there is little to worry about as far as compatability.
Lastly to backup your boost configuration..get QPST and use that to read your phones current configuration (network Info) and then save it with qpst and you should be fine.

Mr. louforgiveno: First off thank you for the quick and diligent reply. Pertaining to backup and restore using QPST; should my phone loose its boost flash I would press "Load from File", select the previously saved QPST data file and then press "Write to Phone" and it will restore me to boost mobile settings?
I flash/wipe anything I want from recovery and I have a boosted 3d. I guess it wouldn't hurt to have a qpst backup but have never had anything happen to my boost service from flashing/wiping. I use apn backup n restore to restore boost mms settings after a flash, easy as cake. Ics u can't restore apn involves alil more work prior to flashing I believe. As far as the factory reset within the rom, idk, haven't come across the need to use it...

Lost flash after updating to 2.17 w/o HBOOT 1.50
So it finally happened, I lost my flash. Everything was going fine, even downgraded to 1.4 hboot using recent XDA method, but after that I saw an updated firmware without the 1.5 hboot update by xHausx and used it thinking it would be fine since all the other PG86IMG and RUU's have flashed perfect.
As I posted earlier, I backed up and everything with qpst and CDMA-WS but after restoring from backup it looked like it put everything back (it even said BOOST at the top) but I was wrong. When ever I try to dial out it tells me my account cannot be validated and of course I have no 3g either due to lack of service.
I've looked over every setting using every # code and I cant seem to find anything wrong with the configurations and APN restore does nothing.
I was very paranoid about modding a flashed phone at first so I was very thorough, besides backups I also took many notes on the info the # codes and qpst/cdmaWS provided before making any changes at all.
Which makes me ask if the fact that QPST keeps changing the ESN is creating and issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Where did that joker come from?
Here is a thread I started and had closed about ESN: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1685610
That explains it enough. Flashing to another carrier does not change the ESN. Boost, Cricket, MetroPCS allow non-carrier ESN's on their network, that's why flashing is allowed. You can technically flash a phone to Virgin Mobile, but, here is where the problem is: Virgin Mobile does not allow non-Virgin Mobile ESN's on their network.
Did that idiot get banned?
Hello. Im having problems with my Evo. 3g data isnt working. virgin mobile refused to help me because the guy i was talking to is either untrained or an idiot. but anyways i just activated my phone again after it was cancelled. i didnt have it activated for over 5 months or so so it got cancelled and i was provided a new number. before i activated it on virgin mobile again i was thinking of going to metro pcs for their 40 dollar everything plan. but didnt because i was unsure. I did change settings in qpst to match the settings of metro pcs phone settings/data settings and when i changed my mind i tried to flash it back to virgin mobile i messed up a lil and had to do the ##786#, menu, reset thing, to get my virgin mobile original settings back, so now the phone is activated but data is messed up. it dosent load pages or work period. the 3g arrows flash every once in a while but then stop. and i am on meanrom v4.5. just flashed back from jellybean the liquidsmooth rom. i am not quite sure what the problem is but i think the data settings are incorrect. when i go into ##data# settings in data profile it shows ""[email protected] . it seems everything else is mostly correct as far as i know. so if anyone can help me at all with data settings or anything else i would be very appreciated.and yes i tried updating profile/prl stuff and nothing. but thank you for any help at all.
Do a google search for flashing phones to virgin mobile. Does not really matter what phone the flash instructions are for as long as it is an android phone. Then compare the settings to the ones you have on your phone and make any changes needed.
Oh and next time before you change anything with qpst make a backup. With qpst you can read all the info from your phone then back it up tk your pc. Then if you ever need to go back you just open the saved settings and flash them over.

Ya I did that and all of the posts I found have outdated information. I called virgin and they told me to wait 24 hours and the problem will be fixed and that my programming information was correct. I'm not sure if they were telling me the truth or not but I had this problem before and switching to profile 1 fixed everything. This time its not working because profile 0 and profile 1 are exactly the same. I don't know what to do at this point. I was hoping someone with an EVO 3d or EVO V 4g working on virgin mobile could connect to qpst and give me pictures of their exact settings minus their account information and esn/meid numbers whited out. Since VM won't help me the only thing I can do now is ask for help from someone else.
seems like my 3g is working now. i flashed back to liquid smooth kit kat. wierd because i have used meanrom before on my account. so i guess it was meanrom messing things up. thanks tho.
I've done a search and haven't found anything so far, so, thought I'd ask here:
What is the purpose of the hidden menu?
How do you access it?
What will it break if I activate it (I've seen some saying that it will break knock on (which i don't use any way and just seems gimmicky)?
Thanks in advance.
Nevermind, found it elsewhere: To access it, you have to input the code 277634#*# into the dialer.

Hasn't broken my knock-on, either.

There was a specific setting you'd have to change in order to break it. I don't remember which one.
Sent from my LG-H901 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
I have the T-Mobile version and it was too strong of a coincidence that knock on broke the same day I discovered the hidden menu and started exploring. I didn't notice which menu broke knock on but I do know it had to be something I tapped in the hidden menu because I wasn't doing any other kind of modifications to the phone.
Really it just depends how boldly you explore the hidden menu options. If you do just be prepared to have to perform a reset.
Good news is that if you do break knock on, a device reset will fix it.
Also the official LG backup software seems to back everything up, app settings and even side loaded apps. It's just a little awkwardly implemented in that for security verification it requires you to re-enter the google accounts you had on your phone when you did the backup in order for it to even begin the restoration.
Meaning reset phone, re-enter your google account(s) on your phone, say no to google's auto restoration, then perform the LG bridge restoration.
Since google can automatically partially restore you'll have to say no and just leave it to the LG restoration process otherwise you'll have Play store restoring and updating apps at the same time the LG Bridge is trying to restore.
Played around with the hidden menu and indeed broke my knock feature. Didn't even change anything. I thought something was wrong with the phone. Took it back to tmobile for an exchange.
You can use any shortcut app off play store to put a link to the hidden menu knockon setting and turn it on and off.
I also have accessed it to enable fast dormancy to improve battery life for my TMO V10. It did not disable my knock features thankfully.

Get yourself Quick Shortcut Maker, launch it, change the search type to 'Normal', search for 'Knock On', click on 'Settings', then on 'Try'. On the next screen, switch Knock On back and forth and see if that works.

Great, however when there are no settings to turn it back on readily available (ie, in the settings menu), it DOES break it. Back when the issue was discovered, the only way outof off the problem was a reset. I'm glad there's another way now, though.

i looked at fast dormancy but i'm wondering if you get missed calls or dropped tet messages i turned it on to see a bit ago, but i wondering if i can leave it on seeing that i need to be able to get calls and text all the time.
now I'm all worried about giving this a try, lol, will do it anyways though cause well, it's me.
Went to WIFI and hit the last option of the Upsell page (hopefully unlimited tethering is mine now)
Knock on still works
I don't know if there is another thread out there that has this same info in it, if so i totally apologise. This is for people on android 5.0+ but also worked on previous android versions as well. Also this was just the way i choose to do it so that my LTE antenna would be totally off all the time.
1) Go into service mode *#0011*# hit menu:back next menu:key imput, type in "Q0"
2) #1UMTS
3) #1DEBUG SCREEN
4) #6PHONE CONTROL
5) #1DRX CONTROL
Click on LTE Rx0 And Rx1 off. Your phone will reboot by itself. When it turns back on it will only stay on 3g from now on unless you go back through those steps and turn it back on.
Not 100% sure if that is the most beneficial way to do it but when i didn't want 4g on at all to conserve data and battery life that was how i did it but i actually did it on accident the first time but after i figured out what i did i then used that method all the time especially now since android doesn't give the option to switch through mobile networks.
I got the hidden menu you described using *#0011#, but I can't get anything else to work. When I press the menu key, I see the menu and the option BACK, but nothing happens when I press it. I don't see the "next menu" step. Any advice? Could you maybe tell me how to do this like I'm 3 years old? I'm so annoyed cod the only way I can text on this verizon s4 is via mms since I switched to tmobile. I managed to get root but still haven't found a way to subvert the verizon smsc setting.
Thanks in advance!

I did the build number Darklord N5 (looking at settings), Kernal 3.4.0 Kernal now I only have data for a few min then it say's no data connection? It's a Sprint Note 3 and still using Sprint. But the model number no longer says SM-900P and now says SM-9020C. The file I used was DarkLordN5.RC2.1.SamsungViet.vn Sorry I'm a little new to this but I do tend to follow directions well.
It's like Sprint lets me have data and then see's something it doesn't like about the mod and shuts off my data. It always works at first then goes away within 5 min and says no data connection and roaming is turned off. And if I get data again will I still have LTE? So far I just saw 3G when it was working.
Other than that I love the update but I can't do without mobile data! Please help. I've looked everywhere I could think of on here and it's been almost two weeks without data.
Thanks!

That rom is kinda old and has bugs. If you want to use the latest note 5 port, I recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-base-n9200zcu2apa1-stablefast-31-01-t3308842
It's based off the last version of darklord's rom and tweaked/fixed it's issues like youtube lag...
It's tricky to get data from it. I use Ringplus so it might work without tinkering with sprint natively.
Just install rom normally, with SPR csc, and see if you get data like that.
If it doesn't here's what I did:
I had to install it with the XAS csc (the SPR csc won't let me change apn's but you're free to try). I then switch radio to cdma or anything else until the apn settings show up AND can be edited in Mobile Networks settings(LTE radio won't me edit). Then I delete all apn's because it won't use the custom ringplus apn i put in by default(yes, I choose it and it still won't use it). Once i'm all done, i set radio back to "cdma/gsm/lte" to get back lte/cdma data (for some reason the "cdma/lte" setting won't work for me). I used app's to get me to the radio and apn settings. There's a few out just take your pick.
Might take some trial and error to get the apn's to show up but in the end i have zero issues with data. good luck.
Thank you very much for your detailed reply. I was wondering if it was old. But being pretty new to this I'm going to have to do some research to try to digest all you said! Although yesterday I did successfully replace the screen/chassis of my old Note 3 which required switching over many components. Now just waiting on a new power on switch. So I'll be back.....
