[Q]how to activate Sprint HTC hero to Alltel - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought a Sprint HTC Hero 200 from ebay. I tried to activate it to Sprint without data, but failed. Now, I want to activate the phone to Alltel, if possible. Is there any guy who knows how to do it?
Whenever I opened the Alltel website, it asked my zip (city). Once I entered my zip (columbus, oh), the web turns to Verizon web page automatically.
Please give me a tip or information to activate my phone to Alltel.
(Do I need to flash my phone with Alltel Rom? I have flashed my phone with CM6. Is it fine?)

Well it sounds like your phone has a bad ESN number. Good luck with that.

Sounds like the Alltel market in your area is already transitioned over to Verizon.
Posted with my Alltel Hero using Android Tapatalk

The phones having a BAD ESN with Sprint has no effect on using it with Verizon/Alltel as they have no way (other than calling Sprint and asking) to check to see if the ESN is bad... I have an Sprint HTC Hero that I'm using with PagePlus (Verizon MVNO, Activated no problem) just I don't have my data working (yet!)

No, it's not a bad ESN. Please Do NOT judge people by your GUESS.

How did you activate the sprint hero to PagePlus. My phone is not a BAD ESN. I just don't want to spend my money with data plan in Sprint. It's not worthy because I have wifi around me almost always. That's why I didn't activate the phone to Sprint.
Now, this is my question. could you tell me how to activate the sprint hero to PagePlus? I want to follow your step. I had tried it, but I didn't know how to program my phone for PagePlus. Please let me know. Thanks for your help.

I really appreciate you, TpyoKnig.
Now, FINALLY I activated my Sprint HTC Hero to PagePlus. I don't need to waste money for data plan (at least $30/mo). As TpyoKing helped me to activate it, let me post some information I have done for my Hero, in order to help those who want to activate Sprint HTC Hero to PagePlus. If you have any question, tell me. (I'm not a dealer for pageplus. so please don't give me any money.)
Here are what I've got. (I added my experience.)
1) thing you have to have is root for your phone, if you have that then great! Also you need to be running a NON-Froyo Rom (the froyo roms, I've tested thus far) are lacking EPST which will be used later to program the phone. --> My case, I installed NFX-Hero ROM. After I activated my phone to PagePlus, I'm running CM6 ROM. It works fine now.
2) Search the Market (Via WiFi) and download 'MSL reader'
3) Write down that MSL (will need it later)
4) reboot phone
5) download pageplus.prl from a web and put on root of SD card
6) on your phone pull up the dialer (hit the green button) and put in ##775# (##PRL#) and put in your MSL code you got earlier
7) select "update PRL", drop down "Folder" to "SD Card" and push down on your navigation ball and then long press the "menu" key to make your keyboard lower and select pageplus.prl then select "ok", then press your "menu" key and hit commit modification
8) phone will reboot (Congratulations you'r now on Verizon towers!)
9) Get PagePlus to activate phone (eg, contact a local dealer) , tell them you are manually programming a Sprint phone and give them the IMEI and that you need your MIN/MDN and SID. --> In my case, I purchased pageplus from Kittywireless.com. They promptly provide MIN/MDN and SID.
10) on your phone, pull up the dialer and dial ##YOUR6DIGITALMSL# , then select edit mode
11) change Mobile Directory Number (MDN=your new phone number from pageplus) to what is given to you by PP/dealer
12) change MSID to your MIN (Mobile Identification Number) as suplied by PP/Dealer
12) press menu
13) commit changes
I'm really happy.

It's 2 years late coming, but thank you for this information. I was able to help a friend to get his phone working on PagePlus. I got the PRL file from here.

even verizon couldnt fix.....

after i got my droid about a year ago, all i wanted to do was root it. I didnt read enuf about it and the effects of messing up, which i did and "bricked my phone".....so what happened, I was using an RSD lite method....very dumb and unplugged the phone to early (of course messing it up). Finally got it to boot back up and when i had to make the call to re-activate it my service was through U.S. Cellular!?! Took it to verizon, they said that was weird and tried to re flash it with their stock system...didnt work, they called their tech support still couldnt get it fixed. They sent me a warranty phone and didnt want or take the old phone back. It works just fine and i use it as my "test" phone. It is still on U.S. cellular service though. Dont eally need it activated but if anyone knows how, i would love to know??

you could try flashing the 2.2 sbf on it via rsdlite, since its not bricked, or you could flash a verizon radio via recovery after rooting it. Flashing a verizon radio on it should reconfigure it to verizon's settings. Feel free to pm me to further discuss this.
edit: usually when they send you a warranty phone they want you to send the phone back within 10days to avoid being charged for it
Go into recovery, and there is an option to wipe the radio data (i forget what it actually says)​ Try that. You might have just messed one of the parts of the radio by a small amount.

where do you see that option? its not in clockworkmod recovery. under the advanced tab there are choices to wipe dalvik battery stats and report error of the recovery but that is all. also an option to record key gpio values.

Droid RAZR on PagePlus edited to get 3g

I previously mentioned in the Bionic [Request] thread that the steps for making a RAZR work on PagePlus were the same as a Bionic, however, that statement is not entirely accurate. There is no *#*#4636#*#* on a RAZR, and as such, there seems to be no way at the moment to get 3G data. Picture messaging works if you install VZW messages from the market.
Here is what I did:
First and foremost, use the IMEI but drop the last digit. This is your MEID. Call Pageplus, or find a pageplus dealer who is nice enough to activate it for you, and give them this MEID. You will have to call pageplus cs after you are finished with the following programming to get the MEID put back on the phone. I don't know why this is, and I am not going to give you any kind of technical BS to make it look like I do.
1. Put phone into BP Tools mode by powering off, then pressing both up and down volume and power. Volume down to BP Tools and Volume up to choose it.
2. Install the latest Motorola Driver for your phone from: http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/USB_Drivers/
3. Connect the phone to the PC, and let the driver install complete.
4. Run HW Virtual Serial Port, and login with the password "admin" (it is already there by default, so just hit enter).< no longer necessary
5. Set the IP as 192.168.16.2, with the port as 11008.
6. Choose com port 100.
7. Open CDMA-Workshop 3.7 or higher (There is no known copy floating around for free. Either find someone who has it installed already, or pay the $108 like I did... if you're like me, you'll find ways to recoup your money. I have made it back a few times over already.) Choose COM port and click CONNECT.
8. Click on Security, SPC and send 000000. Do this EVERYTIME you reconnect the phone. Everytime. Don't forget this.
9. Click on Main and go down to where it says CDMA and change it to CDMA-2.
10. Under R-UIM change config to NV Only.
11. Click on the "Other" tab. At PRL, choose write and write the pageplus prl (51720 only) to it. Google for this, it's out there. Write to phone.
12. REBOOT the phone.
13. Reconnect and resend SPC.
14. On the MAIN tab, switch CDMA-2 back to CDMA.
15. Write 310 to MCC, 00 to MNC, and your MIN. Leave True IMSI alone.
16. Write 283, 384 to P CH; and 691 and 777 S CH.
17. Write your mobile number to the DIR_Number and DIR_PCS fields. Write to phone.
18. Change CDMA to EDVO.
19. under PPP User and HDR User write your phone number [email protected], with vzw for the password.
20. under Teth. NAI write your number [email protected].
21. Click on m.ip profiles
22. NAI is the same as 19. T NAI is the same as 20. The shared Secret fields are both VZW.
23. If necessary, change the P. HA address to 255.255.255.255.
24. Click X, then write to phone.
25. Disconnect the phone and reboot it. You are done with CDMA workshop.
26. On your phone, under Settings > wireless and networks > mobile networks > network mode change to CDMA only.
27. Connect to wi-fi and download phone in Play Store (Android Market)
28. Open phone info and go to phone information. Scroll down to set preferred network type and change it to CDMA auto (prl) and toggle DNS Check to allowed.
29. ##Program on your dialer, use "000000" for SPC code, and go to 3> Extended NAM and change the SID to whatever your SID is.
30. Back once to 06 Test Mode, next twice, then make sure network mode is CDMA and EVDO
31. Back once and go to 14 LTE Test Settings. Change SIM Type to 3g, LTE bppanic to disable. Back twice to reboot. Remove SIM Card while rebooting.
32. Back to ##Program 14, disable class1 and class2 APNs and back out. Phone will reboot.
That's it. I have 3g working on 173. Haven't gotten it on 181 or on the ICS leak, though, but, I have a droid razr on my prepaid 29.99/month plan, and couldn't be happier.
Any questions? Please message me. I will respond ASAP.
Please remember to hit the Thanks button if this helps you!!
Think this method would work on the Droid 4 (XT894) as well?
Was considering sending one to Beigephone for programming. However I'd like to learn how to do this myself, so when the time comes if I need to reprogram the phone again, I can do it.
I could only assume so. But, I didn't know if the RAZR would work until I tried it for myself.
I have tried following your guide, and I just had a few things to add from my experience.
Between steps 7 and 8, I had to use 'Read' at the top of CDMA Workshop for it to allow me to enter the SPC code. I clicked the top Read, and I got this message:
DM baud rate has been automatically switched from 38400 to 921600
I was then able to input the SPC.
Furthermore, I was unable to read all of the information from the phone. The top Read worked fine, but the one in the Main tab could only pull certain information. Likewise, the Write button could only write some of the information, and was unable to write all the information under the M.IP Profiles section.
I actually was unable to try and complete the flash because the customer had to leave for work, so he ended up selling me the phone, haha. Any idea why CDMA WS kept erroring out halfway through writing the information?
I also have tried undoing everything through factory reset and changing the mode back to R-UIM only so I could sell it for Verizon, but even after changing the R-UIM settings back, the phone keeps saying there's no SIM card =/
that is the hard way. try this link for the easy way. i have done the razr and droid 4 with this method. i started with the bionic and i am sure it will work on the razr maxx. it doesn't cost a thing.
try this (post #25)

or even better

Instead of creating a Virtual Port. Just boot into BP Tools by pressing the Vol Up and Down buttons from power off. Scroll to BP Tools and press the Vol Up Button. I Used CDMA Workshop. Under CDMA2 Change it to NV Only. Writed a PP PRL. Mine took very easily. 3G was a bit harder but it does work. Most people report that it will only go 1x. After a bit of tweaking it switched to 3G and everything is running perfect.
I have successfully done a RAZR and RAZR MAXX the last 2 days. The process is the same on both.
(Trying to remember, don't have phone in front of me)
Boot up phone with SIM in, remove SIM upon reaching home screen.
##PROGRAM + SEND, enter 000000 for lock code.
Option 6 (Test Mode), hit next until you see Network Mode. Change it to CDMA and EVDO.
Go back to menu, option 14 (LTE Settings), change Sim Type to 3G UICC Test.
Reboot phone.
Go back into ##PROGRAM, option 1 (User Activation) and punch in your correct MIN, MDN and so forth.
There is another option for SMS/MMS settings that I had to change the MML server to [email protected] for text to work. Wasn't able to text MMS because the customer ran out of data
Make sure in your Data Manager under Settings that you have it set to roam for all trips or you won't get any data.
I'd like someone else to try this if they can, being that I sold both my RAZR and RAZR MAXX and I forgot to document the process, haha. If I come across another one, I'll be sure to update this reply.
I had 3G data, voice, text, and I believe MMS was working.
Hope this helps someone!

when i rebooted and tried to enter the MIN, MDN etc. it said "Failed to get call NAM information" and would not let me save after i entered the info.
are you starting with a fresh sim? The sim i am using is from the previous owner

I'm pretty sure I had to put the SIM back in, program the information, and go into the Data Manager to allow global roaming access.
I was able to get the RAZR MAXX working yesterday following some instructions provided by RemotesquaD (when you purchase their flashing software), and like a big dummy I had it working and tried flashing it with their software so I could get MMS working and it killed the data on the phone. I have sat here the last 4 hours trying to figure it out for this customer, and I am going crazy. I've tried everything, and the only thing I can conceive as a viable reason it won't work is because the phone had been previously activated on Verizon..
Can anyone confirm or deny this? I've tried several 4G SIMs to get through activation and then re-program it to no avail.
If only there was a way to completely revert this phone back to stock, settings and all so I could try from scratch =/ I feel like I might have a country code or SID wrong or something. Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks.
Droid razr maxx
so i followed everyones instructions but i put alittle twist in it i had to use cdma workshop 3.8 free trial and qpst. in cdma workshop alot of stuff didnt write to the phone because you have to buy the version of it so i wrote what i could to the phone and opened up qpst and did the rest with it. my only problem now is i use my wifi in the house and the 3g and 1x indicator is on only on wifi. when i turn wifi off then 3g and 1x goes off also. is it because i have an verizon 4g sim in the phone or is it something with the data?
anyone had any luck getting all this on ics???
---------- Post added at 04:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------
some info for op
if you flash one of these without the original sim card you might have issues using the ##program# menu.
if you do then here is a tip
get "anycut" from market or search anycut .apk on google
add activity shortcuts one by one to your desktop of the razr
lte test settings
programming (the 2nd one)
testing
field menu settings.
those will give you shortcuts on desktop to enable the setting for 3g.
just had to flash two razrs like this.
hit thanks if it helps

another question of mine
has anyone got mms to work without that ugly ass vzw messages app?
ok so i stayed up waaayyy too late last night trying to get my razr on ics with page plus.
i installed the .79 leak and then installed cm9.
it kept all my settings in there that i could see through anycut looking at programming fields.
all i have is talk and text. no mobile data.
i was not able to connect through cdws on cm9 tho. if i reboot with bp tools then it goes to safestrap and after that it shows no diag port in device manager.
just trying to write down everything i did.
about to go back to 181 and maybe start over not sure yet.
deleted
try this for 181

Thanks for this pltctytc, but here's a question. I found out that I needed the SIM card kept in to get MMS via VZW Messages. Are you able to get MMS on 3G with the SIM out? The only difference is that my gf's phone is a Bionic on PPC.
had to put sim in to get internet... can't say about mms w/o sim since i didn't try it. i am not using a 4g verizon sim and never had one its a generic h20 one
but everything works as designed sms mms internet email blah blah blah
don't really know if there is a difference but knowing verizon i would assume they have something embedded in their cards
i am really surprised there is so little info about there about the razr or lte phones on pageplus. i guess most using ppc don't want newer phones or their capabilities
nevilles video is good on using cdmaws on the razr but i lost 3g following it but managed getting it back with a couple settings mentioned previously through trial and error

it kept all my settings in there that i could see through anycut looking at programming fields.
all i have is talk and text. no mobile data.
i was not able to connect through cdws on cm9 tho. if i reboot with bp tools then it goes to safestrap and after that it shows no diag port in device manager.
just trying to write down everything i did.
about to go back to 181 and maybe start over not sure yet.

Why is my spc not all zeros when I dial ##PROGRAM? The previous sole user would not be capable of changing it and besides CDMA WS sends 000000 just fine.

Droid Bionic on PagePlus with 3G Data and MMS ALL Working - Solved

Alright boys and girls I've been working on this for a week now and I think I've finally got the fix for this...
UPDATE: WORKING 3G DATA AND MMS WITH ICS!
So for you GB lovers here's the way you get solid 3G Data and MMS with GB .905
You will need:
1.) Motorola Droid Bionic phone
2.) Your MDN/MIN information from Page Plus, use this link to have this information sent to your email:
2.) The required software support package:
Mirror1 or Mirror2
3.) 1 Blank 4G LTE Verizon Sim Card (Amazon, Ebay, or just go to a couple Verizon stores, eventually an employee will sell you one without to many questions...)
4.) 1 3G TMobile or ATT Sim Card, doesn't have to be activated just something you have laying around will work. As of the time of this write up I haven't tested with 4G cards but I imagine this method wouldn't work.
5.) Time, Patience, and a few prayers to the Wireless Gods might be a good idea...
PLEASE PLEASE MAKE SURE PHONE IS 100% CHARGE AND DATA IS BACKED UP BEFORE PROCEEDING
ALL DATA ON PHONE WILL BE ERASED, SD SHOULD NOT BE ERASED BUT BACK IT UP JUST IN CASE.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE!
STEP 1: Software Provision your Phone
Start by uninstalling any older Motorola drivers you have installed, then download the newest driver package from Motorola -
Install RSD Lite
Now turn phone off, and insert 4G LTE Verizon Sim
Start up phone in "AP FastBoot Flash Mode"
Do this by holding both volume keys while pressing the power button on the phone. Once your presented with a menu use the "vol down" key to move to your selection then press the "vol up" key to select that option.
Start RSD Lite and select .905 Firmware and Restore
After flash is complete, start phone in Recovery Mode
Do this by holding both volume keys while pressing the power button on the phone. Once your presented with a menu use the "vol down" key to move to your selection then press the "vol up" key to select that option.
Once you see the Android Icon with the Exclamation mark, press both volume keys at the same time. That will bring you to a menu, from there select "Wipe Cache", after that is finished, select "Format/Wipe Factory Defaults" as soon as that finishes select "Reboot Phone"
Power off phone, and boot into "BP Tools"
Do this by holding both volume keys while pressing the power button on the phone. Once your presented with a menu use the "vol down" key to move to your selection then press the "vol up" key to select that option.
Once phone is completely booted you should be presented with a activation screen, ignore that for now, and run the "DFS CDMA Tool" program.
Once your in DFS make sure you phone is plugged in, and in "BP Tools" mode otherwise you won't see any ports.
Now select the phone port from the list, should look like the one in the image below...
Click the SPC Button, Log Window should have result like image below
Now click the "Programming" tab and then the "General" tab. Change the "Ruim Config" to NV_ONLY and click "Write"
After that, click the "Data" tab, and enter your 10 digit phone number in place of the 5551234 numbers
Under the "Mode:" section, change the "HDR SCP force AT config:" option to "RevA_MFPA", click "Write"
Your end results should look EXACTLY as mine do in the image below...
Close DFS after your sure you have written all the settings above to your phone.
Now open CDMA Workshop and connect to your phone, click the "Nam" tab, click on the "Load" button on the bottom of the page, browse to the file provided in the software package, "Bionic_PagePlus_NAM1.txt" and click "Write"
Click on the "Other" tab, under the "PRL" section click the "Write" button, browse to the "PagePlus_51720.prl" and click "OK"
If CDMA Workshop responds with Success then your done with the initial programming of your phone...
STEP 2: PHONE PROGRAMMING
Now Power Off your phone and then power back on normally, at this point you should have completed the steps above and have the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Sim Card in the phone
Click the Next button to setup your phone, you should get a screen similar to the one below..
Touch the "Emergency Call" button and enter *228 and press Send, you will probably get a error screen regarding your sim card, IGNORE this message, and continue to click "Emergency Call" and then entering *228 and pressing Send
You may have to dial the *228 multiple times in order for it to start activation, eventually it will call out and you will get a screen like this one:
*If you cannot get your phone to program after multiple attempts then try this:
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Scroll down to "Set preferred network type:" select "CDMA Only"
Touch "Turn off radio" wait until you have to wireless connection and then touch "Turn on radio"
Now try programming again with *228
Touch "Speaker" or wait until the automated system answers and when prompted press "1" and wait, be patient this may take a minute.
Your phone is now receiving your programming information from Page Plus...
Once this process is complete and your phone is now activated, Dial ##PROGRAM and touch Send
When prompted enter "000000" for your SPC Password
Now scroll the the bottom of the page, touch "14 LTE test settings"
Touch "SIM type", select "3G test UICC"
Touch "LTE bppanic", select "Disable"
Touch "Disable Class1 APN"
Touch "Disable Class2 APN"
Touch "Enable Class3 APN"
Touch "LTE Movement Detection" select "Disabled"
Now go back one screen and touch "06 Test Mode"
Touch "Next", "Next", Touch "Network mode", select "CDMA Auto PRL", back out of programming menu to home screen.
So far so good, were almost there... Now power off your phone
Insert ATT or TMobile 3G Sim Card, and power on phone
If you have followed all the steps exactly you should now have working 3G Data and MMS on Page Plus with your Bionic. It should remain stable through reboots without any issues, I used mine like this for over a month.
Below are the steps for working 3G Data and MMS using ICS .247
!WARNING - IF YOU UPDATE TO ICS LEAK .247 YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK TO .905 OR GINGERBREAD! YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE IF YOU TRY!
!WARNING! - IF YOU UPDATE TO ICS LEAK .232 AT THIS POINT YOUR MMS WILL NO LONGER WORK, YOU WILL HAVE DATA BUT NO MMS
I will update this post with more instructions and pictures in 24-48 hours for ICS .247 with working 3G Data and MMS...
For ICS .247 visit the "House of Bionic" website and download the leaked ICS .247, follow their instructions exactly and read ALL warnings
Once you have flashed to the latest leak, follow the DFS steps above, and flash the "57120" Page Plus PRL using CDMA Workshop
Reboot Phone and touch the "Emergency Dialer" button, Dial *228 until you get to the activation screen, wait until prompted and press "1", wait for you phone to be programmed.
That's it, your done, no other steps should be needed to have working 3G Data and MMS with the ICS leak .247
!WARNING! - THIS DOES NOT AND WILL NOT WORK WITH ANY ICS LEAK PRIOR TO .247!
Alright hopefully you now have your Bionic working on Page Plus with full data and mms.. Enjoy!
UPDATE:
Apparently XDA requires me to have a minimum of 10 posts before I can add outside links to my post, I have a version completed with external links so maybe a moderator can waive this or if someone else wan'ts to post it just PM me and you can post it...
.905 Gingerbread
3G Data and MMS holding steady through multiple restarts, no extra steps have been required..
.232 ICS
3G Data works but no MMS, I do not think you can have working MMS with .232 I believe it is just a bug...
.247 ICS
3G Data and MMS working perfectly, if you follow steps above don't change anything under the ##PROGRAM menu, leave everything on 4G settings just like default.
Only thing you have to do is flash a Page Plus prl and *228 for initial programming and everything works great!
Will be glad to see this updated with more details.
I updated my phone to .905, redid everything, had PP reactivate it, but cannot get it activated OTA.
EDIT - I factory reset the phone, the activation screen came up, and it seems to be working! only have 1x at the moment, but hey, I'm happy.
will be glad to see your steps for 3G and ICS
Anyone know where I can get a 3g sim card locally? I see some on ebay but if possible I would like to get this working today. Also, do I need the 3g sim card if I'm on ICS .247?

basically what i mean is that im going to update the Bionic to ICS...
and im using the phone for business w/ page pluss... so i wont even have data on the phone... so im wondering what i an do with Stock ICS....
After that, click the "Data" tab, and enter your 10 digit phone number in place of the 5551234 numbers
Under the "Mode:" section, change the "HDR SCP force AT config:" option to "RevA_MFPA", click "Write"
can someone tell me what box the 5551234 numbers are in? They are all blank for me.
question on activation
thanx a lot appreciate the post
Those are your MDN/MIN numbers, ... one of them is your actual phone number, the other is a phone number that your service provider uses on their switch to identify you with...
To get your MDN/MIN numbers for page plus, google:
"Page Plus Phone Status Report Form - Kitty Wireless"
Enter your email and phone number and they will email you a report that will show both your MDN and MIN numbers....
ref: 3G data
ok, i'm on eclipse 2.2 .902 build
i've gotten everything else to work except data
from what i've read my mdn number is my phone number
also, and the phone activates over the air using the 14 digit
instead of 15 my imei is 15 digit but my meid is 14 digit
got 3g and 4g sim cards both from verizon
only time i've been able to see any data at all was when i had
the 4g sim in the phone and get this: went to disable radio
that's when the phone would sorta "hang" and 3g would show up
then go away, and this happens only once in a while
i've done about every tutorial i can find, only thing is i don't want to
go to a stock rom really love eclipse 2.2 and others have data going on
that rom also, so it's something i'm doing wrong
i also get the same results when i'm on eclipse 3.0 so again, it's not the rom
it's me, goofen something up
even when i went in to the verizon store, they were cool and told me themselves
this phone has been problematic for them on full contracts getting data to run
at least that's what the rep said about our area
i have my sid set to 32, i've tried with and without sim in the phone
i love this phone, i'll get the data worken on it one way or another
if ya can lend a hand for few minutes skype allen-sec
or yahoo allensecz
to all those who have spoon fed me with yer replies and posts,
thank you very much, i've learned a lot here on xda, do my best
to pay it forward

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, I have. This is what I did:
Re-activating phone on Page Plus after OTA update
1. Remove any old Motorola Droid Bionic drivers you may have on your computer and install the newest ones.
2. Turn phone off and turn back on in BPTools mode. Then plug the phone into your computer via USB.
3. Open DFS. Click "Ports" and select the COM port for your phone. Next, click the "SPC" button.
4. Click the "Programming" tab and then the "General" tab. Change the "Ruim Config" to NV_ONLY and click "Write".
5. Click the "Data" tab. Under the "Mode" section, change the "HDR SCP force AT config" option to "RevA_MFPA" and click "Write".
6. Close DFS and unplug phone from USB port.
7. Go to the dialer and dial ##7764726 (##PROGRAM). When prompted for an SPC password, enter "000000" and hit verify.
8. Go to "06 Test Mode". Hit "Next" twice. Then, change the Network mode to "CDMA Only".
9. Back out to the home screen; the phone will automatically restart.
10. After the phone has restarted, go to the dialer and dial *22800. Ignore any SIM card error messages you may see; just keep trying *22800 until you reach the activation screen.
11. Follow the instructions to activate the phone.
To get 3G working on your activated phone
1. Go to the dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#* (*#*#info#*#*).
2. Open "Phone information" and scroll down; click the button that reads "Turn off radio".
3. From the same screen, set the preferred network type to "CDMA auto (PRL)". Then turn the radio back on. The 3G notification should appear shortly.
I hope this helps someone!

I'm wondering the same thing. The question isn't what the 10 digit numbers are, but where are you supposed to enter them? The picture would be helpful here. Is anyone willing to upload those pictures for the OP or can the OP share the pictures some other way until you can post them?
Which field specifically are you supposed to enter the 10 digit phone number into on the "Data" tab?
In other guides they suggest rebooting the phone and editing the min/mdn by dialing ##program and choosing option 1. I tried that but I wasn't able to write those values. Anyone had luck doing it that way?

I messaged the OP weeks ago to take him/her up on posting the pics and links, I received no response.
I had all the same problems as you so I just skipped those steps. worked fine for me, my phone is working perfectly. my phone was previously activated but I did two full resets after the update so I don't think any PP programming was 'left over', but who knows.
to be honest I think the howardforums ics/bionic thread is more helpful than this one (pics, links, etc) here's a direct link:

Workig Bionic on T-MO Running official ICS OTA update guide

Success!!!
This is a step by step that I used and it worked(Tmobile) for official release ICS:
01. Update to ICS
02. Power off phone and wipe data in Stock Recovery
03. Power on phone and edit the hex values with Radiocomm see: post 29/30 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297714&page=3
04. Power off phone
05. Remove sim card
06. Power phone back on
07. Connect to PC
08. Root
09. Delete STK.apk (edit: you no longer have to delete, just rename to stk.apk.bak)
10. Delete STK.odex (edit: you no longer have to delete, just rename to stk.odex.bak)
11. Modify Build.prop values as is:
ro.telephony.default_network=7
ro.mot.phonemode.vzw4gphone=0
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0
and add this to the bottom:
ro.telephony.ril.v3=signalstrength
12. Power off phone
13. Insert SIM
14. Power on!
15. Dial *#*#info#*#* switch to WCDMA Preferred
Should be good to go!
I'm sorry, but I need to ask a question that is probably frustratingly obvious,
When I go to use the RadioComm tool, the instructions says to put the phone in PC mode. I can't find PC mode on the phone, and whenever I try to use RadioComm, everything is red... the blood-red of failure...
How did you get around this? I've only had the phone for an afternoon (I'm enabling TMobile for a friend) so maybe I just don't know where the button for PC mode is!
Thanks for this. I was about to give up. I thought it was required to downgrade to the last GB rom (which is, apparently, impossible). I'm glad to give this a shot.

Haha... It turned out to be just as stupid an error as I thought it would be... I didn't have the correct drivers installed -.- . I installed MotoCast, rebooted, tried again, and it worked! Yay.
Thank you!
Also, more notes for people who are as moto-clueless as me:
Stk.apk and Stk.odex are in /system/app
build.prop is in /system
It now accepts my Tmobile SIM, but it can't find any service. I've looked around, and it seems that lots of people with TMobile are having no luck with stock ICS, but ATT works fine. Any ideas? I changed ro.telephony.default_network=7 to =0 because that's how it appears in my TMobile MyTouch 4G Slide.

Haha... It turned out to be just as stupid an error as I thought it would be... I didn't have the correct drivers installed -.- . I installed MotoCast, rebooted, tried again, and it worked! Yay.
Thank you!
Also, more notes for people who are as moto-clueless as me:
Stk.apk and Stk.odex are in /system/app
build.prop is in /system
It now accepts my Tmobile SIM, but it can't find any service. I've looked around, and it seems that lots of people with TMobile are having no luck with stock ICS, but ATT works fine. Any ideas?

Try using my build.prop file. Heres the link to my post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33261067

Do you have it working on T-Mobile? I gave it back to him this morning, but I sent him idiot-quality instructions to replace the build.prop. He says it doesn't work. He's on prepaid, so he as decided to just switch to Verizon. (This is a great idea where we live, T-Mobile has 2G and Verizon has 4G...) I hope this is an isolated instance rather than a generic problem with T-Mobile on the Bionic.
If I'm walking with him past an ATT store, I'll see if they'll let me try a SIM, so see if it was just me or if it's locked (or something?)... Unfortunately, there aren't many ATT stores for hours of where we live

Yes I have it working on T-Mobile here's a screenshot. The reason 3g/hspa+(4g) doesn't work for T-Mo everywhere with the Bionic is because they are in the process of switching bands to the standard 1900mhz band in the US. ATT users get full use of their band and 3g/hspa+(4g)

08. Root
09. Delete STK.apk
10. Delete STK.odex
11. Modify Build.prop values as is:
ro.telephony.default_network=7
ro.mot.phonemode.vzw4gphone=0
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0
and add this to the bottom:
ro.telephony.ril.v3=signalstrength

that is the part i need explained a bit more.
also Don't T mobile and ATT run on the same Networkish...
I've got a ST(ATT) Sim card for my Droid bionic works fine, cept when i updated to ICS i can no longer send SMS/MMS. Been searching for about 10 days now. no fix.

Yes they have the same type of network but they work on different bands. ATT=1900mhz T-Mo=1700mhz(switching to 1900mhz by end of year) The reason SMS/MMS isnt working is because you need to modify the build.prop file in your root folder. Ive attached the 1 click root program for the Bionic, use this to root your phone. After you root your phone you will need to download some type of root explorer so that you can access the root folder. You no longer have to delete the STK files just rename them with .bak extensions. They are located in /system/app. Then access /system and switch to R/W mode. You have to edit build.prop with the values in the guide.

Works, but i'm only pulling 'Edge' Network. No 3g like before
Thank you VERY much. But i've got some information and a question...
I was too excited to try what you said to do so i didn't go back and read the instructions on post #1.
My phone had the SIM already still in it.
WCDMA was selected
Hex was still set to AT&T/Tmobile.
Then...
-- I Root it.
-- I edit files as given above.
NOTHING CHANGED! CANT SEND SMS STILL!!!
-- Powercycle.
NOTHING CHANGED! CANT SEND SMS STILL!!!
-- Reboot, wipe cache, wipe data/factory reset.
turn phone on: FULL BARS! (had to wait 1-2 minutes. and input SIM password)
Had Voice, but the calls kept failing
--Input APN for ST(att)
SMS/MMS work!!
Voice works
DATA works! ( Shows Edge2 )
My question is, Booted up on: GSM/CDMA Auto (PRL)
GSM = -80dBm
Network: home. ( i have never heard of this.)
IMEI: unknown
my phone number shows on *#*#info, and under phone information -unlikebefore it did not. Yet my IMEI isn't showing... It did before.
The network i had before i made these changes phone displayed ATT as network, not it is 'home'
network type before was HSPA/HSPA+/Edge, not it is just EDGE2.
So i'm not on ATT like before, i am on GSM?
When I send SMS/MMS to my other phone it takes 20 seconds to 5 minutes to show up on her phone.
When I am sent SMS/MMS it takes just as much time to show up on mine.
after about 20 minutes of running the phone SMS send normal speed.
I never did do the "then access /system and switch to R/W mode." Because I don't know what you mean.
when i switch to WCDMA preferred, it took about 3 minutes to load up a signal, The network type is still 'home' before all this it used to be 'ATT'

T-Mobile is in the process of a complete "re-farm" mainly to make their network iphone compatiple. This means that everything on the network should be operating on the 1900mhz band by spring/summer 2013 which is when they are rumored to be getting the iphone. Regardless, if they still don't offer the iphone this refarm allows any unlocked iphone to be used on their network and get full HSPA+. You can bring an unlocked iphone into their store now and they'll put it on their network but if you don't live in an area where the re-farm is complete you'll only get EDGE access.
This update also applies to any other phone that operates on the 1900mhz band, not just the iCrap. T-Mo also just bought MetroPCS which, in itself, is not a huge deal as far as coverage goes BUT they also get all of Metro's spectrum (plus the spectrum they got from ATT and the failed merger) so they are actually lining themselves up to be the carrier with the most available spectrum as the FCC only has so much to auction off. I am seriously considering jumping ship for them even with my grandfathered unlimited data. They've got unlimited everything for cheaper but I have to see how service is.
I honestly was not aware the Bionic was HSPA+... probably just from not researching it as I have VZW anyway right now... My contract is up in March and even though I am grandfathered unlimited I might give them a shot. They actually charge less for "bring your own phone" and their deals are pretty good. Wife wants iphone and with the re-farm she could have one on T-Mo but her contract is not up till March 2014 so the ETF plus unlocked iphone... $1k... um no... Maybe when she sees how awesome ICS is vs GB she'll change her mind...

can I ask what you mean when you say you input sim password? Im trying to get it to work on t-mobile... Well I have 2 bionics, one is mine and I got t-mobile working fine using the radiocomm edit, removing the apk/ and odex file listed by DBoyFresh954 and doing the build prop edit listed by him in the same first post. but the 2nd bionic is my friends and I cant get t-mobile working on it. The only thing thats not the same on the two bionics is my friends is HW B 43/11 while mine is HW A 34/11. If anyone might have a fix or can explane the sim unlock that scarocean was talking about please do post or pm me would be most thankful
HELP!!
Okay, so I got my T-Mobile SIM card in today. Followed everything perfectly and still nothing. No service or anything. I double checked my area for coverage and confirmed that T-Mobile does have service here. I'm on stock 246. I rooted, applied the gsm unlock zip, re-named the stk files, edited the build.prop settings, and switched to WCDMA Preferred. I have the HW B version if that matters. I've been looking everywhere and can't seem to find an answer. Could somebody help please?!
Edit: My phone is now showing AT&T as the network. Also noticed that my Signal is reading -81 dBm and 16 asu. Isn't that a good signal?

I followed post #1 exactly and my Bionic works on T-Mobile.
What do you mean where you said "applied the gsm unlock zip" --- Either I missed this part or do not understand what you are referring to.
Running rooted Bionic on Synergy ROM on T-Mobile.
I do have a question though....
How to prevent phone from going back to LTE when rebooting. Not the worst thing but have to modify the radio each time phone is rebooted???
Also the ones who got it to work as well, are you getting 3G??? I feel as though I am not....
Thanks again to the person who started Post #1 --- Saved me $$ from buying a new phone from T-Mobile.

I flashed a zip that does what you did in Radiocomm. I finally got fed up with the problems and went to AT&T and got a SIM with prepaid. Works great! I just could never get the T-Mobile SIM card to work. Didn't go to waste though. Unlocked my wife's Torch and used it for that.
I have no idea how to make the settings stick for reboots. Odd, that your settings don't stay on WCDMA Preferred. Mine stays after reboot.
I think the Bionic can only get 2G until T-Mobile has finished their refarm. I think there's only a couple that have been set. Don't quote me on that though. Haven't really looked into it a whole lot.

just a bit more about files and build prop
I have the droid bionic and I was attempting to get my at&t service on the bionic. I have made it as far as the root step. Where do I find the files to delete? I have a folder /system on my PC but I can't find /system on the bionic. Where is the /system/app folder? Do I need to use device manger find it? A few more details would be much appreciated. a list of files and programs needed would be a nice addition to walkthrough. Just a thought. Plz help thanks

Download ES File Explorer. Hit the menu button once you open it and go to settings. Scroll down to root settings and select all options. Go back to the main menu and hit the Up button at the very top. Scroll down and click on "System." Once in you'll see the "App" folder immediately. Click on that and scroll down to the STK apk's. Once your done renaming go back once and scroll down till you find the build.prop. Click it and use the ES note editor to edit the settings.
As far as adding the signal strength to the build.prop goes just scroll all the way down and add it there.

When you do this edit, can you switch back to Verizon's CDMA/LTE by switching sim cards or do you need to redo both the apks and Hex edit?

Cannot manually provision phone

Hello,
I have been trying to activate my new phone on ring plus. It is an LG LS991. I am on the ZV6 firmware. I have done a device swap and have been in contact with Ringplus. They said that everything that is OK on their end and my phone will not provision. I tried to enter ##MSL# and nothing happens. I do not see an edit menu. I am entering my actual MSL code just to clarify that. Is there a way to get a hidden menu on the G4 that will allow me to edit the MDN & MIN numbers?
Thanks!!!
Try ##873283#
Thanks did not work for me though. Would restoring a .tot and maybe reset it if its a software glitch?
##data#
Cannot really access anything from that menu, I am just returning the phone today because something is wrong with it.
LG g4 works on SIm card So u cannot provsion it mannualy
U need a Sprint Blank simcard to acitvate it
did you happen to modify your carrier folder from the sim unlock mod? Changing the permission of node.db and node.db-journal to all read write execute fixed the provision issue for me.

Any head way on this? How can you access the service menu to edit the MDN and MSID?

I'm having the same problem. Can't get this G4 to work on old Sprint SERO - ESN is right but I can't update MIN or MDN any way I try. Anyone figure this out and could help?

Yeah, I had tried that. But it doesn't seem that any of the information will save properly; after a reboot, it still does not give me the right MDN. That is with or without the sim card. With the sim card ii, it gives me the last four of the cards ICCID as the phone number with 000-000-XXXX. Not sure if G4 just will not work b/c I don't have a SIM programmed (it is just an unused sprint sim)? But my sero plan is 3g only, really don't need the lte stuff or sim at all. Without sim card I just get MDN and phone number as 'unknown'.
I think this is probably easier with boost or another carrier; curious if ANYONE has ever activated a g4 on SERO basic?
