Trying that now .. hope that works . If it doesnt can nTelos push something to my phone ?
That didnt work either . Under "Mobile network" is just says "Standby for connecting to mobile network" ?
I know this sounds elementary, but sometimes a standard reboot will cure that.

Ive tried that many many many times
I have now flashed new rom Fresh Toast v2.1 and still no internet .. this has to be something simle ...
Come on peeps .... there has to be more here
Come on guys , I really need some help with this . Anyone gets it right I will send $$ via paypal . Thats how bad I need this up .
C&P from a post I made a while back trying to help someone. I had the exact same Turning On issue and this is what fixed mine. I'm not with nTelos but another non sprint carrier.
I had to compare/correct settings in the EPST menu with another HERO from my carrier. To access the menu dial ##778# I think the password for edit mode is your MSL mine was 6 zeros yours may be the same. View Mode will not show the Security section info. The settings that finally did the trick for me are below

The HDR AN Auth User ID (LONG) may or may not start with evdo but from 2 carriers that I looked at they were similar. The small x's will be specific to you carrier. The capital Xs were my 10 digit phone number. Like I said best thing would be to do a side by side compare of yours and someone's that is working.

##778# doesnt bring anything up on this phone .
^ You basically erased your data settings when you flashed the Sprint rom. You need to know your carriers data settings and their APN info.

Flash a different rom and try. Those codes don't work in all roms. I used Bittersweet 1.2 when i was working on mine.

Yea , going to give that a shot again . Getting back to the apn talk, CDMA does not have APN menus I dont believe .
Flashed another rom and still no evdo ....
Were you able to hit the ##778# menu?
I flashed every rom available at the time mine was broke. You need to confirm those settings in the EPST menu are correct or nothing will change in any rom.
By just looking at mine I was able to realize they were not for my carrier.

The settings are correct in epst menu .. I made notation of them before starting all of this . This is strange because this has never happened before .
So, I have one of the HTC 8x's and Im wondering if there is a way to check if it's carrier unlocked without actually inserting a different sim.
I tried getting to the diagnostic app using ##634# but that doesn't seem to work.
Any ideas??
Thanks!
On HTC devices (at least on WP7) the Diagnostics Menu opens using ##3282#.
The ##634# code works on Samsung.

Yeah I had tried that and it came up with a message saying "USSD" and then my phone number. So not sure what else there is.
Thanks though!
Both of these codes work on my Lumia 920, displaying a lifetime counter in the first case (##634# ) and a list of network settings in the second (##3282#)
That's weird....My 8X (o2 UK) behaves differently.
When I try ##3282# nothing happens.
When I try ##634# I get an HTC Diagnostic app, which allows me to test Vibrator, Flashlight and LED, but nothing else.
EDIT:
##3424# i.e. ##DIAG# also brings up the same menu as ##634#. None of the other codes and work for me. (##3282# = ##DATA# btw)
Hello everybody,
I have a Lumia 820 dev and I want to activate Visual VoiceMail that is already activated by my operator (B&You - Bouygues Telecom) but the toggle switches is not present.
I don't want to flash my device that is developper unlocked.
I want to know if it is possible to enable this feature on my phone or if you know a way to edit the registry.
Thanks in advance,
Best regards
Believe me, we'd all love a way to edit the registry...
Odd that the switch wouldn't be present. Have you tried rebooting the phone? On mine, it showed up (and worked) as soon as I put the SIM in (which the phone was shut down during).

I have my WP8 for 2 months so it have rebooted many times but never appear.
I contacted my operator to desactivate, reactivate the VVM but even after several reboots, the option never appear

Did you make sure to dial into your voicemail after? It may be missing from some carriers' ROMs, but if it's there you usually need to dial into your voicemail after VVM is provisioned for the phone to try to set it up.
This tutorial is my method for successfully unlocking the G flex to Cricket/AIO/ATT wireless with data/MMS, No battery drain, no Wifi calling drain.
1. Pros. Use Cricket/AIO/ATT sim.
2. Cons. Must dial International code +1 ( or whatever country code you're in) before every 10 digit number.
********Before we start you need to be on stock 4.4.2 sprint rom with Network Mode LTE/CDMA enabled************
(The roaming option does not appear when on GSM)
Next, change theme from "FLEX" to "LG". For some reason FLEX bugs out after the phone unlocks and causes crashes. (May be an isolated incident)
*Now we need to add the APN from AIO wireless into the Apn list by going into settings>roaming>Access point names
*The APN list will be blank and state "NO APNS" this is normal. Hit the menu button and add the AIO wireless APN settings from
http://buzzmobile.us/aio-wireless-apn-settings-internet-mms/
When completed you will need to press the back button and once again you will be greeted with a blank APN screen. Don't worry it's there.
Follow the instructions for root + unlocking the phone here. Total commander doesn't work on 4.4.2, don't use it, do it all with Root Browser (Get from Play Store).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50477852
After you are finished you should be rooted, successfully finished removing bloatware and left with a half unlocked phone.
Now navigate to settings/tethering and networks/mobile networks/Network Mode and change to GSM/WCDMA
**********************You are finished with this portion of the Tutorial***********************
*Fun Part*
1. Download Rom toolbox on your phone, the free/lite version is fine.
2. Navigate to build.prop editor
3. Find and change the settings listed..
ro.carrier=spr (spr to lowercase)
ro.build.target_operator=spr (spr to lowercase)
persist.service.crash.enable=1
Lets keep something in mind here... Once you change these settings you will need to restart your phone and you will be unlocked for Cricket/AIO/ATT networks, however, at this time you should know that if you venture back into network mode and happen to change your settings back to LTE/CDMA, you will lose the ability to change your network mode back to GSM UNLESS you revert the build.prop changes listed above. You can actively switch from LTE/CDMA and GSM by this method although I don't see why anyone would..
At this point you should have Talk/Text/Data/MMS...If not, you may have done something wrong.
**More funner part***
At this point in the tutorial your phone is doing two things.
1. It lies when it says its only on GSM/WCDMA
2. Rapidly draining the S#$% out of your battery.
We need the MSL Code so we may dial ##DATA# in your phone and access LTE settings.
Follow this Tutorial for retrieving your MSL code.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47324060
After you obtain the MSL pull up the phone application and dial ##DATA#(3282) Navigate into LTE and disable LTE/Band 26/Band 41
When you back out of the menu your phone will restart and stop continuously looking for LTE Radio.
**Final touches**
Remove all and I mean ALL sprint and preloaded wifi calling applications if you experience wifi calling battery draining. For some reason wifi calling spazzes out.
I'm not going to list the apk's because it may be an isolated incident and if you find out wifi calling is draining your battery just long press it in battery stats and go to "APP INFO" and find out what it is named and remove it with root browser...
I have been on Cricket/AIO wireless for two weeks now with HSPA+ and enjoying it.
This method may work with other carriers who knows.
**Food for thought**
1. When I change the ro.carrier settings from lowercase spr to ndo like in the APN i got a cool h+ instead of GSM.
2. I have not been able to wifi tether yet with cricket and I'm actively looking for a way now..
3. Think anyone else has issues with the FLEX theme crashing?
thanks.

If you don't mind how much do you pay? Will this work with a T-Mobile Flex? I'm pretty happy with T-Mobile since I got my discount back. I have 4 lines so it's around 25 bucks in savings a month.

It should work with t-mobile, i don't see why not, instead of ATT/AIO apn's just add a Tmobile apn and make sure that you have some time to play with the build.prop settings for example...
ro.carrier = spr can be changed to ndo and still work because "in theory" it matches the APN.
After adding the tmobile apn setting, changing ro.carrier to " t-mobile" to match the apn might work .
Try it out and see!
p.s i would leave ro.build.target_operator=spr alone, if all else fails you can change this too.
Thanks for the guide . I picked up a sprint g flex and lg g2 cheap, used your guide on both. Enjoying them on NET10 in the states.
patiently waiting for a custom recovery for kitkat on the flex.
interesting thread. i keep running into an issue though. as soon as i reboot after changing the stuff it reverts to where i was before and nothing saved. any suggestions? root is fine...
awesome stuff here i really want to see this happen on my flex!
Wont allow apn change
so i got stuck with a simple issue. when i go into the apn list there is an apn there already.
cinet.spcs
and when i press the menu key it is not showing the add feature to be able to add the new apn as described in the thread.
after doing these I noticed when opening Wifi it force closes and says "Unfortunantley, Settings has stopped"
only wifi that works is the one i used before doing these mods wont allow adding others
also have tried various wifi repair apps
working for me but getting tons of systemui crashes
Concerning the errors that appear often but I came out I did this : I returned and change in the build prop, spr for SPR capitalized and not returned to me the problem also remove the option to persist crash : 0 , take into GSM mode UMTS network selection mobile. I'm in version 4.4
Not working for me.
I tried this 3 times. Once with stock 4.4.2. Once downgraded to 4.2.2 and another time after updating back to 4.4.2 from OTA. All failed. Could not get any sim to be recognized. I am a smart guy and have done much more complicated methods of flashing, rooting, etc. for Android phones. But this just does not work. The phone states no SIM when I put my Cricket SIM in it. But when I put the Sprint SIM back, it reads it.
Any help would be GREATLY accepted. Thank you.
PS: I called Sprint because this is a clean phone. When I asked for the unlock code they gave me the MSL. I have a feeling that is incorrect but I could be wrong. After an hour on the phone, they said that is the unlock code. No matter how much I tried to tell them it's not.

Maybe this is a better guide for you:
http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-sim-unlock-sprint-lg-g2-ls980/
The Sim unlock does work, I've been using my sprint g flex on cricket for 6 months or so , but only with H+ .
You don't really need the msl or have the phone in good standing (blacklisted is OK).
If the Sim isn't being recognized that means you didn't do the folder replacement right. I had trouble at this part, which was solved by using the app "ROM toolbox". It took a few tries.
As far as changing the APN , just use any shortcut app on the playstore.
For switching bands, use the app " network" from the playstore. No msl needed.

Forgot to mention that I am on 4.4.2 ZVA, there seems to be a problem/troubles with this mod after this update. Definitely get rid of bloatware/sprint to stop updates

Tried this method twice so far. Both times the phone reboots or I get multiple force closes that disable the use of the phone. Guess I'll keep trying. Thanks for the help.

Did you use the files from my link? Flex specific?
Don't use total commander.
What software version are you on?
Even after the FC, does it recognize your Sim?
You must also change the build prop, just realize the guide doesn't have that. Probably why your getting FCs.
Save a copy before making changes:
ro.carrier=spr
ro.build.target_operator=spr
persist.service.crash.enable=1

Sorry for getting back to you so late. Life is busy with three kids and a full time job.
I wipped and followed the instructions again. VERY closely. It worked. Thank you very much.

Sweet. Glad you got it.
The only trouble I have had with this method is if the phone shuts off or I restart, I have to switch the bands back to GSM.
would this work on LS995ZVB? thanks.
I am trying to use the dialer code *#*#DATA#*#* so that i can change the lte band priority. This has worked for the nexus 5 (and note 4 with similar code) but the dialer code is not bringing up the data menu. Anyone know if the code has changed or if it is locked out for the time being.
*#*#4636#*#*
That one works, but the one in which sprint users (and possibly others) use to prioritize lte bands *#*#data#*#* does not work. Sprint uses 3 bands for lte (25, 26, and 41). Band 41 is spark (high speed) and only gets priority if the others (slower speed) are not available. This menu also allows for many other adjustments to the data connection through the carrier. It has worked on all of my android devices [samsung uses ##data#] in the past but seems disabled on this device. Other dialer codes do appear to work but have no purpose for me at this time.
I've been wondering that myself. I got my Nexus 6 today and I can't access the menu. I wonder if there is another way to access it. I will have to do some digging into the fimware.
+1 for this I've been searching for this. I don't feel I'm getting the best speeds ever
I was able to get in to data settings using *#*#3282#*#* (t-mobile nexus 6).
Seems that 5.1 has returned the feature for accessing the dialer code *#*#DATA#*#*

If I want to edit anything in that screen it asks for a "passcode".
I have no idea what that passcode would be. I tried all of the codes I have (SIM pin, phone pin) but none seems to be working.
Any idea?
Most likely the MSL code. [Master Subsidy Lock code]
I haven't tried to obtain mine yet to try it, but this has been the code used in all my previous devices.

See, I've tried that several times, I've watched logcat as I tried pulling the MSL via hex, I tried a getprop to look at all the properties, nothing shows for SPC or MSL. I've also talked to sprint, and even though I bought the phone outright, they're stingy and still don't want to give up the blessed code.

I was actually able to get it after talking to 8 different reps yesterday.
Sprint codes
I know this is an old thread but it showed up pretty high on a Google search I did so I wanted to explain why some people can connect with *#*#DATA#*#* and why some cannot. Assuming you are on Project Fi.
It's simple. You have to be on Sprint's network for sprint codes to work. If you are on Tmobile or other network then the codes are meaningless. The reverse would be true of Tmobile specific codes too - just enter the correct carrier code in prior to your carrier specific "special" codes. It doesn't matter if you are simultaneously connected to Wi-Fi however.
