Flash Sprint Galaxy S3 to Page Plus the Easy Way

Ok, so you have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3, [SPH-L710] and you want to Flash it to Page Plus?
[I'm assuming this will work for ANY carrier, but we all know what assuming does...]


Take it to dealer and have the MEID activated.

Flash the PRL of carrier you want to switch to, restart phone.
You'll also need to change the SPC on the Phone to 000000

Here's the trick, you need another phone with the dial pad open and ready.
hold the other phones speaker to the mic of the S3
Dial *228 on the S3 you want activated.
When it asks you to press 1, press one on the other phone,
The S3 will hear the dial, and proceed to program it for you.

[Back in the day if you recorded the tones that were made from a payphone after paying, you could play it back,, it would hear the dial, and think you paid, when you didn't]

Now Flash a correct PRL [I have provided a copy I used for Page Plus]
No Roaming Signal

Apple Iphone 4 flashing to cricket tutorial ( talk, text, mms, data )

DFS - creators of CDMA Tools
Amoamare - repo location for the Comm center patch and Cricket bundle.
Rich Hathaway - also posted a repo locaton for a Comm center patch and misc postings on CDMA Gurus.
ljm715 - the original IPCC I used was from this poster (CDMA Gurus)

This is a work in progress. I have learned so much about this in the past few days that it is hard to weed out what didn't work from what did.

I will try to make this process painless for those who decide to go down this path in the future. The results are a beautiful, fully flashed iPhone 4.


NOTE: The instructions will cover the Verizon iPhone first because that is what I used. Sprint involves obtaining the SPC and probably saving the files in a different location (probably the Sprint folder).

In order to program the phone you will have to Jailbreak it. You need to be able to access system files and install other items to make a connection to DFS and load a PRL.

We've had success with untethered Jailbreak on 5.0.1 and tethered on 5.1.

---

Software Requirements:


CDMA Tool (by DFS)
- Download the demo. When you purchase the OTA flashing for the iPhone, it will upgrade you to the "Light" version.


iTunes
- Contains drivers that are required. You also need iTunes in general.


DiskAid
- Browsing iPhone Apps contents and transferring files to or from an iOS device has never been easier with DiskAid. It automatically discovers all Apps and allows to copy files, folders or even complete file trees!

File Requirements:

Custom IPCC for Cricket - This will be required for MMS. It should also contain a Cricket PRL which can be replaced. Becomes OPTIONAL if amoamare's Cricket Bundle is used (read in AMO section).

Recommended Downloads:


plist Editor
- In the Mac OS X and iPhone OS, property list files are files that store serialized objects. Property list files use the filename extension .plist. Mac OS X 10.2 introduced a new format where property list files are stored as binary files. Starting with Mac OS X 10.4, this is the default format for preference files.

These plist files are in the IPCC (Carrier Bundle) file. You might want to be able to peek inside those. To open an IPCC file, I changed the file extension to .zip and opened them up in Winrar. In Winrar you can edit the files inside the zip and save them back to the zip immediately. I feel like this causes the least modifications to the file structure of the IPCC or Carrier Bundle.

PRL - This is in the recommended downloads because the IPCC file will contain or should contain a valid PRL. You might want to choose your own though. Please visit the PRL thread: http://www.cricketusers.com/flashing...rl-thread.html

Guide on flashing your iPhone 4 (CDMA) to metroPCS

Hi,

I'm starting a thread on how to flash the iPhone 4 (CDMA) to metroPCS because when I was looking for it on Google it took me so long.

This is only for the Verizon iPhone 4 (CDMA).


First off it doesn't matter whether or not the iPhone 4 (CDMA) you have has a good or bad ESN. metro doesn't care.

Keep in mind only talk and text works. All data will require WiFi but you can't beat unlimited talk and text for $40 (plus $5 unlimited international texting).

Now. You will need to download

iPhoneBrowser 
http://code.google.com/p/iphonebrows...3.exe&can=2&q=

metroPCS 1038 PRL (renamed to 130VZW.prl) 

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35084515/310VZW.prl 
Configuring the phone for use on metroPCS

the metroPCS PRL
1. Jailbreak using either redsn0w (4.2.9) or JailbreakMe (4.2.8 and lower)
2. Download afc2add on Cydia
3. Open iPhoneBrowser
4. Go to /System/Library/Carrier Bundles
5. Scroll all the way down to Zeppelin_US.bundle
6. Delete the 310VZW.prl file first then drag the metroPCS 1038 PRL file there

metroPCS Roaming Lists
1. Dial *22801 on your iPhone (on the top left it should say Roaming)
2. Follow voice directions to get the latest Roaming Lists
3. When it's Done it should say Service Update Complete

Your phone is now fully configured for use on metroPCS. Easy right?

To get your ESN you need to convert it from the MEID number the iPhone gives you.
The ESN should be an 18 digit number (there should be no letters). Google for a MEID to ESN converter.

Now the hard part.

Getting your iPhone's ESN added into the metroPCS inventory
I learned this the hard way but you can't just go to a metroPCS store and have them add it for you. This is applicable not only for iPhones but for all flashed phones. The only way they can add it is if you're phone is officially flashable with metroflash. Why? Because there software adds the ESN automatically when the phone is flashed. 

To have it added manually you have to find someone who is willing to do it. Most corporate stores will do it but they will charge you for it. 



To verify your ESN has been added
(link) and check if your ESN is verified as a metroPCS ESN.

Anyways after your ESN is added all you have to do is either
Dial *228 on your phone and talk to customer service (important!) and have them add them switch the phones for you, it should be done automatically.

or

Go to a metroPCS store and have them add it for you. 

After that, talk and text should be working on metroPCS.

Some things to note:
There won't be a carrier name showing on the top but you can just use FakeCarrier or something to do it. Honestly though, I prefer the clean look of having no carrier name though.

If you want to get rid of the O next to the carrier name or signal bars. Just disable Cellular Data. It's an indication saying it couldn't connect

(GUIDE) iPhone 4 and 4S flashed to Page Plus

Upon my research of trying to make a jump to prepaid on my iPhone, I was really left between a rock and a hard place. I had a Verizon CDMA iPhone 4 32GB. Now as many of you know, the CDMA iPhone 4 does not have a SIM card slot. So all GSM carriers were out of the question. The phone was given to me by a friend who had upgraded to the iPhone 4S and then the 5. It really was something I was thankful to have and now I needed to find a use for it.


The Verizon family plan would not allow a smartphone (purchased either outright or at subsidized) to be put on it at the price it was currently. We would need to switch to the new Share Everything. Not really an option as it would cost more for less literally even if we all stayed with basic phones.

Upon researching the CDMA prepaid carriers I came across Virgin (Sprint network), Boost (Sprint network), TalkForGood (Verizon network), and Page Plus (Verizon Network). Both Virgin and Boost would not work where I live even if I flashed it to the Sprint baseband due to coverage issues. So it was a choice of TalkForGood or PagePlus. 

(TalkForGood is a great option for those who use little to no data on their phones or use do alot of either calling OR texting. If that meets your needs check them out as they are a fantastic option and are pretty new.)

PagePlus, unlike TalkForGood, does not openly support iPhone activation. So we need to use some unofficial ways to get it activated.

Step 1: Create a Page Plus account at https://www.pagepluscellular.com/login/register/

This will give you access to the customer service online chat feature. This is necessary to get it going. Don't worry, you do not need a phone active in order to create an account.

Step 2: Submit a request to get a new number using the standard activation page with the iPhone's MEID where it asks for the ESN. (YOU MUST HAVE A CLEAN ESN FOR THIS TO WORK). It will of course fail and give a "DEVICE REJECTED" error code. Don't worry this is all normal. We just want to submit the request to get our foot in the door.

Step 3: Log into your account and fire up chat. Tell them you do not know why activation failed and would like to activate your phone. Do not say it is an iPhone unless they explicitly ask. Most of the time they will have no issue getting it going.

Step 4: Provide the appropriate MEID for the ESN number, and make sure you state your zip code you want your number to be in. If you are porting a number we will get there.

Step 5: After the representative gives the A-OK to begin activation, wait roughly 15 minutes for the system to update. Then dial *22890. Make SURE voice roaming is turned on for this step. Otherwise activation may fail and you will be left with a "No Service" indicator.

Step 6: Congratulations you are now activated. If you plan on keeping the new number, go ahead and make some test calls with the $2.00 credit that is on the house. If you are porting in continue on.

Step 7: Either call Page Plus or chat them and fill out the appropriate questions for porting in a number. Most numbers take as little as three hours. 

Step 8: Wait three hours after finishing the call and dial *22890 again and the "My Number" info should update to reflect your newly ported number. 

Step 9: You can now either add money or switch to a No-Contract plan.

Step 10: Enjoy your iPhone bill now cheaper.

NOTES: 
Before beginning make sure Voice Roaming is on.

Do not add a plan until after the number has ported if applicable.

Once the phone is in the system it should never be removed, so you do not run the risk of deactivation.

If your phone is currently active on VZW. Switch the VZW line to another phone to get the iPhone freed up

I wrote this guide as a means to help those who are looking to switch with an iPhone as I had to kind of go in the dark when it came to moving over. I hope this helps anyone interested and do not be afraid to ask any questions.

Updated Guide IOS 6 Sprint iPhone 4 flash to Page Plus with 3g and MMS

Well i cant edit my old post so i thought i would start a new one with a updated guide on flashing a sprint iphone 4 to page plus. Its pretty much the same process with updated steps for ios6.

Well i posted recently that i acquired a iphone flashed to page plus. Well i didnt know it was a sprint iphone and thought it was a verizon one so i restored it and was left with no data. So i went on a mission and after many hours finally figured out the right combination of settings to get it working. So i thought i would share it with everyone on here because i cant find anywhere else how to do this other than paying someone large amounts of money which i dont have. But any on how to flash it.



You must have a sprint iphone 4. Clean esn or bad esn is ok. This will not work on a verizon iphone with bad esn. Will not work on any iphone 4s. Page plus does not except bad verizon esn. You need to be jail-broken and on ios5 or ios6. This should work on any ios 6 version.

You can activate any clean esn verizon iphone 4 or 4s without flashing, just call and add esn to account then program phone. 

Onto Flashing:

Need to be jailbroken use red snow which is for mac and windows

Next add this repo into cydia

cydia.cdmaelite.com

Install ComCenter Patch and Install cricket carrier bundle from repo

Next you need to download the page plus bundle attached at the bottom of this post.

Then connect your iphone to your computer and use a file browser to open files installed on your iphone (I used diskaid).
Navigate too /system/Library/Carrier Bundles/Iphone/ and open the cricket bundle folder
Now erase everything inside and replace the contents with the page plus files
Reboot your phone and the new settings should be plugged into the phone.

Now we need to program the phone so open up the Dailer
dial ##626
then 000000
Then you input your MDN and MIN in the blanks

Then dial *228 and your phone will be programmed
now dial *22890 or *22800 or *22801 and select option 2 and that inputs the new prl.

Well you should be all set with everything working. Let me know how it goes (:

As we know the ios6 jailbreak is a tethered one, which means you have to boot up from a computer every time the device is shut off, well there is a way around this, if you dont mind losing the jailbreak

all it takes is a restore back to stock from itunes, the flash remains in the settings ( the only way to erase the flash is a network settings reset) to get data working you have to turn data roaming on 

You are not actually roaming it thinks its on sprint and roaming on verizon but you actually arnt.

Well i hope it works for everyone and let me know if you need any help below and success feedback as well (:

How To Flash A Verzion iPhone To PagePlus

You may of been searching for a while to figure this one out as it took me a bit of time to get it. Follow this guide and you will succeed. 

This requires a CDMA iPhone not GSM. Should work just fine on aiPhone 4 or 4S. However a 5 hasn't been tested.


Why should you do this? The plans are significantly cheaper than going directly through Verzion. Not to mention you are not binded to a contract. I switched from AT&T (purchased a verzion iphone first) paying 60-80$ a month that I didn't even use that much due to my inactivity. Even then AT&T wouldn't allow me to use tethering. Had to jailbreak and use My-Wi to accomplish this. Even then AT&T detected it and threw a larger data plan on my account. Which I had to call and have removed. I am now paying 12$ a month and it suites me just fine, no contract and tethering (even though I don't use it). OH!! Lets not forget about the spotty AT&T coverage and the LACK of 3G in my area. PagePlus gives me better service 3 bars vs my 1 bar before AND 3G! 

The savings a year is quite significant for just my line alone doing this for your family and ! It had to be done. 

The first step is rather easy. You need to check the ESN of youriPhone. This is best done using this link. After a short while or a few hours depending on there server they will send you a email. Please be sure to read it completely so that you make sense of what its saying. Now here is an example of what my email said. "The Device State is: ___AVAILABLE_FOR_USE___ (this field should NOT be blank, if it is, read below.)" Now this is the most important line in the email and it can say many different things which have been explained in the email sent to you. The device state above "AVAILABLE_FOR_USE" is rather simple to grasp, it means your device will work on the PagePlus just fine. However you may at times receive nothing on this line. If so this generally just means to re-submit the ESN check request. If your getting something else then please read your email and make sense of it. If you need help just ask.

Next step, you need to go here to get a FREE PagePlus phone number. Free PagePlus Number. Now before contining understand this is a quick and free method that will generate you a PagePlusphone number based on the zip code you provide. If you'd perfer to keep a old phone number I'd suggest using this. This is also free, however it does take time. It took me a day or so to fully port my brothers iPhone. Free Port-In. There are other methods of doing this but free is clearly the best! 

Activing your iPhone is next! You need to get in service range and dail *228 then press 1 when prompted. You'll recevie a "Service Update Complete" after about one minute. Now if you click contacts (while in the phone app) it should show your new phone number at the very top. If not, restart your iphone.







Now place your first phone call. It will complete the activation. When prompted just press 1 and your done. Now after this is done yourphone is good to go. However you need to register an account and tie your phone to the account to purchase minutes or go on a monthly plan. This needs to be done here. PagePlus. Creating an account should be rather easy. AFTER you have created an account and are signed in go to this Add a Phone. From here just register your iPhone. It will send you a text message code that you will need to provide it.



All done. You may now purchase a monthly plan or do a Pay as you go deal type thing from here. Plans. If you went with a Port-In above then you should of recevied a email with a discount code. However it must be used on Kitty Wireless. Which means it will take more time.

Note: If your using a jailbroken phone here you can download a PagePlus Carrier Bundle and apply it your iPhone using Cydia. This will make it show PagePlus as your carrier in settings and at the top. It will also remove visual voicemail. As this won't work. It may also also change apn settings and such. Everything will work just fine without it so this step is not required but will make everything more proper.

Add the source "cydia.appleflasher.com" to your sources in Cydia. (without quotes)
Then install the "Commcenter Patch" and "PagePlus Carrier Bundle".
Reboot phone and your done. ;D



Note: It will add a silly looking logo at the top left, if you wish to remove this and use the normal PagePlus text just install "iFile" from Cydia. Then browse to "/var/mobile/Carrier Bundle.bundle". Delete or rename all the .png files. Optionally if you have OpenSSH install on your device just login and type cd "/var/mobile/CarrierBundle.bundle" && rm *.png

Thats all there is. Your 100% done!  Enjoy your new FEATURE packed iPhone. Should you need any help just ask below. Below is a photo of the end result!



Another note, if your trying to do this using a non-verzion iPhone, then it won't work. Those devices need manual flashing. Which isn't easy to do. ;(
