[Q] Bionic on H20 wireless

Wife and I just bought a Motorola droid bionic, Been reading that it is possible to put on the h20 wireless network. I have been messing with the phone all day. I finally got pass the setup at the start, First I was getting "this sim is from an unknown source" error, I bypassed that now I am trying to determine if I am able to take it to h20 wireless or not. I don't want to forced to pay the $80 a month w/verizon.
Phone is Verizon Droid Bionic,
I have the h20 sim, but i get the above error.
I have found a way to bypass the setup as mentioned above, I forgot to mention i have a "no Sim" error now" Would this be because of H20?
Trying to solve this A.S.A.P my pageplus plan expires 2mrw, then i will have no phone.
Any ideas?:angel:

Thanks,
Was it complicated to do? I have ADHD, I don't wanna mess up the phone. I tend to screw up things or break em.
thanks again I'll start reading

The process in its self is not that difficult but different bionics seem to have different results.

I'm on page 12, I am very confused on where to even start for 1. I know its not as simple as popping the sim card in and it working. Good thing is i have both an h20 wireless sim and at&t sim so i can go to either. But i prefer h20 so i can return the AT&T phone.
Would it be too much to ask for some step by step help with this process? My wife wants to return this phone and get another one, But were both disabled and can't afford to put any more $ out so i've been reading 4 the last 2hours.
Thanks in advance.

In my opinion not enough is known yet for the bionic to be a reliable gsm phone. When I had mine on AT&T it got a weak signal. My friend is on AT&T and a lot of times he would have a good signal and I wouldn't have one at all, and like I said earlier different bionics seem to have different results. I read in that forum that on person had like 1 out of 3 that the mod worked on. If I were you I would sell the bionics and buy at&t phones. But that's only my opinion.

Update
Ok, so I was playing with the sim card.1. this is my first phone ever with a needed sim card. So i was playing with it thinking i might have put it in backwards or something.
so my guess i did, no i am no longer getting a grey ANT with red circle, i am getting no signal and when i attempt to make call i get the following error " outgoing calls are restricted by FDN".. In my mind this is progress to me.
But what is my next step?:good:

Thinking about it

I am in the same boat as you. I am in the LA area, and I had good signal in my neighborhood too. However, I can't connect with LTE either, even when I stand next to the tower.
The most weird thing is: I went to the store fore return. When I hit the store, my phone works with LTE outside of the store. I have to go home. Now my phone still has no LTE connection.
It looks like that it is Sprint or HTC software issue. I had no clue what to do though.

Call Sprint customer care and have them check your UICC ID under settings/about/phone identity. I had exchanged my phone and this number didn't update and caused me to not get 4g when others had it. Its the same number as your SIM ID and is required to match your phone. Seems to be a common issue with setting up the HTC One since is has a SIM Card. They may argue with you that its for International only....tell them I understand that but you have seen others with this problem and that their UICC ID numbers did not match on the account and that its required to make 4g work.

Ok, thanks

Yea you have to call them with confidence that you know what the issues are. And in markets they have not launched yet just explain that data is very bad on this phone and you get a lot of dropped calls. Then just ask them to please verify the numbers on your account with the phone....and especially the UICC ID.

I live in LA as well, and I only get LTE in a few different specific areas. Should I call them to make sure all of my numbers are correct? Is there anything else I can do?

I called sprint today, and they confirmed
The uicc I'd #, and it was correct on there system. ...what they have me do was to remove the SIM card, turn off the phone, put back the SIM card in, turn on the phone, update profile & prl. After doing this after 5 mins it showed the 4g on my phone, only for about 5sec.....then it went back to 3g....this was a good sign tho* .. I'm going to try it tommarrow at work since over there there's a steady lte connection...hope it works

Well if not you can always do an Insurance replacement if you have it. There is always a chance you have a bad radio.

Rooted and cannot get lte

I got my HTC one as soon as the black model came out. When I got the phone LTE was only available in the town I got the phone in. I live about 30 miles away. LTE has been live in my town now for the last month and I can not connect. If I go back to the town I got it in, LTE works just fine. I've done a ##786#, updated my profile, installed a corp prl. Nothing seems to help.
I am wondering if I need to revert to stock unrooted in order to update to LTE, or if ther are new radios. Any ideas would be appreciated.

So what your saying is, you bought the phone in City A, and you live in City B. LTE works in City A where you bought the phone, but as soon as you got home (City B), LTE wouldn't connect. However if you return to City A LTE connects and works.
I don't think the problem is with your phone, it sounds like the towers are not fully active in your city.

I would normally agree, however my wife has LTE and she has the exact same phone. My buddies across town have LTE also, one with an SIII and one with an S4. I swear the only difference is I have a rooted phone. I would assume it is the phone, but it works every time I hit the city limits of the town I purchased it in.

Just RUU the phone, and reroot. But to be quite honest, it sounds like either a ROM problem, a kernel problem, a powersave problem, or that LTE is disabled. Do a ##DATA#, go to edit, and under one of those tabs you willl be able to select the mode of operation. Select the one that says CDMA + LTE. If this is properly set and you don't get LTE, then you should install a good ROM and kernel. I recommend using d3rpOne as the ROM, and elemtalX by flar2 as the kernel. There are no radios to flash, or updated radios. PRL (stock PRL) will not inhibit LTE, nor will it enable it by using a corporate PRL. There is only like 1 or 2 PRL ranges which will disable LTE. If all else fails, RUU it. You should never do a ##786# on a custom or rooted ROM. After the RUU, i suggest you do the ##RTN# again. If you have LTE and your phone isn't defective, LTE will work. Then proceed to getting the custom recovery, and S-Off. Don't worry about rooting, since d3rpOne is already rooted.
RUU then ##RTN# fixes any and all configuration / corruption issues. If this does not fix it, have Sprint give you a new One.
Also, RUU'ing your phone will wipe the internal storage... Back it up first.

Thanks. I'll give it a go this evening. I'll let all know how it worked as soon as I finish.

WiFi problem

Hey all. I just got this phone yesterday and went through s-off process. Idk if the problem was present before or not, but my WiFi and 3G keep turning off/resetting. I thought it was a kernel issue but returned to stock and it still does it. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe ruu to stock?

U thought so too, but I called Sprint and the guy did something and it fixed it. It was part of the profile update. I returned to stock before calling and had to get off stock afterwards. But flashing the recovery img to twrp broke the fix.
My phone constantly booted into trying to activate, now it tries prl updates. I got my phone on Amazon, and they are sending me a replacement. Idk what's wrong with this thing

Lol, I guess it did sound like that, but in a way yea. It was actually my phone is in a constant state of not being activated. Idk if it's something I did while going s-off or what, but the phone tries to connect to 4G and there is no 4G coverage here. If I manually put my phone in 3G only, it works. I get intermittent drops in 3G followed by recycling of WiFi. When the guy at sprint had me update my profile, it auto reset. So he must have sent some special code in that update. Then it worked. So I did what anyone else would have done, and flashed a new ROM. In the process of flashing the recovery to twrp, I rebooted without flashing a new ROM and it was broken again.
So I called Amazon and requested a replacement. Hopefully it was just a hardware issue. Plus the camera had the purple bug. I couldn't take a usable photo unless it was outside during the day

[Q] Flash HTC One M8 to Boost Mobile?

Has anyone been able to successfully flash this to boost mobile yet? I'm thinking of buying one tomorrow and was wondering if it has already been done.

Actually I figured it out. Completely full flash with working mms and 3g. I will post a guide if anyone wants me to?

The only other HTC that I ever flashed was the m7 and its exactly like that. The only issue is I can't get sms to work - which is weird because I've never had a problem with that on any device. 3g and talk are good. Sms is hit or miss. Anyone have any possible solutions? Toggling Airplane mode works sometimes, but not consistently...

Can anyone confirm sms is working?

I have also succesfully flashed an HTC One M8 to Boost but I wanted to experiment with an LTE donor phone to see if it would give me LTE on my One. To my surprise it did! I managed to get almost everything to work (Call, Text, SMS, MMS, 3G, partial 4G). I say partial 4G as I manage to receive an LTE signal (I can confirm) for about 10 minutes and then I get a notification saying "Invalid Sim Card." This message also popped up on my HTC M7 when I tried the same procedure on it. I was digging through the donor phone's settings and the M8's and I noticed that the IMEI's don't match. Could this be the reason for the drop in LTE signal? If our fellow flashers could help me sort this final issue out I will not hesitate to release the steps that I took to get an active LTE signal on a Boost Mobile flashed phone. Thanks!

What method did you use? I tried flashing the m8 awhile back and had issues with sms. I had talk and 3g, but for some reason I couldn't send or receive text messages. I used the open sesame door method, then replaced files 0 and 1943 with those that contain my info. Afterwards, I went into DFS and wrote mdn, min, and 3g settings.

When you went into QPST to find NV items 0 and 1943, you zeroed them out first right? I used the exact same method as the M7. Write NV items from the donor phone, zero out the ESN, write the ESN, and finally use QPST to write the profiles.

Actually I'm not sure. I have a file that contains my donor information for items 0 and 1943, so I'm pretty sure I just deleted them on the M8 and replaced them with donor info without actually zeroing them out first. After that, I went into DFS and immediately edited the mdn, min, and profile info.

I would say that you should try zeroing out the ESN first and then writting it cause I've never had an issue when doing this method.

Okay so I did what you said, but now I'm getting a wicked error 16 message. Normally I would just stay on with customer service and they would have me power down the phone then turn it back on in a few minutes and the error would go away. This time that hasn't happened at all. I loaded a boost prl into the phone manually but I still haven't had any luck. You have any suggestions?

EDIT: I got it taken care of. Customer Service gave me a new msid. Do you guys still have that nagging hands free activation?

I activated my phone OTA so that got rid of that pesky notification.
