Rogers (CANADA) Messaging Center Number

Let me guess...
You've discovered some hidden menus recently by typing codes in the dialer and find out this one: *#*#4636#*#* that open a "Testing" screen showing options like this:
Phone Information
Battery Information
Usage Statistics
Wi-Fi Information
Then you went to Phone Information
Tried some options (maybe played with SMSC:_________Update / Refresh ) but that was not doing anything so you exited the menu.....
after a while you wanted to send a text or someone was asking you "Did you got my text?" and you didn't....
Here's what hapened: Accidentaly you erased from your phone the "Messaging Center Number" wich is responsible for giving your phone the access to the SMS/MMS central of your provider.....resulting in loosing the ability to send/receive messages.
Don't worry, after having navigated XDA Forums I finally found my way to make it work again (yes that's because I did it that I now now it).
By the way, even if you Factory reset, flash a new rom/radio/kernel that mistake is gonna stay. You need to enter the number again.
in the *#*#4636#*#* hidden menu,
scroll down to "SMSC:"
in the box type: 0791715097960300
press the "Update" / "Mettre à Jour" (first button)
Now exit and Reboot the phone.
To test it, don't try to resend an old test message as it contain old message center number. I even suggest to delete previous text messages from your inbox if possible.
If it worked, everything should be fine by now. (you can even kudo me for this loll)
NOTE:
The real Roger Center number is +17057969300
the thing is that it need to be Encrypted in Hexadecimal PDU format.
(user MarcusVanSciver on XDA shown that link in thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412261)
That was for Orange Network (european have 8 number to phone number instead of 7 so I had to add a 0 at the end to make it work for Rogers)
after Encryption the number was now: 0791715097960300
This worked for ROGERS, the trick could maybe work for other networks but I can not validate the info. (but for sure this will not be the same number)
This had been tested with stock rom and Custom Rom With Custom Radio and Custom Kernel.
If this helped you, please give credit to this post ;-)

Where I can get this app "Network"?

Some of those steps are placebo, and unnecessary. That will only get you 1x internet, and dependent on your location you may/may never get 3g to work they've been blocking off more cities from flashed phones from getting 3g..

[HOW-TO] Flash Sprint Galaxy S3 to metropcs with 3G speeds..

Hi there every one I have been flashing phones to metro PCS for a while now But this is my first How to. I'm going to show you how to flash your sprint/Verizon Galaxy S3 to metropcs or cricket, with 3g data working.
What you'll need:
DFS demo mode will do. But if you can, make a small donation.
Samsung drivers. Just download keys from http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
metropcs Prl 3032 from here http://metroprl.blogspot.com/
WARNING!! YOUR PHONE MUST BE IN METROPCS INVENTORY IN ORDER TO GET SERVICE, YOU CAN FLASH YOUR PHONE ALL DAY BUT IF YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR ESN IN METROPCS DATA BASE THEN YOU WON'T GET SERVICE NO MATER WHAT YOU DO. UNDERSTOOD?
One of the first things you'll need is to get your phones MSL number, this is the number you'll need to get access to your phones secret menu. The method i am about to show you was discovered by billard412 this post, http://metroprl.blogspot.com/ if you have a verizon your MSL is 000000
Now lets get that MSl (you must be rooted) download terminal emulator or the, Get my msl app from market. Now on your dial pad type ##3282# now you'll have a screen with vie or edit click on edit, now open terminal emulator or the app, if you are using terminal type: su then enter---now type-- getprop ril.MSL then enter you might get a nothing back or you might get the number.
ps: if you are on JL13 you won't be able to get it downgrade your base-band.
if you didn't get nothing back go the the screen that asks for your msl and type any 6 digit number when it sais wrong code go back to the terminal and re type the comand and wala. If you use the app same steps just whith the app.
Now that you have your MSL open DFS, now go to your phones dial pad and dial *#7284# and select qualcome USB Setting, now select the last option DM+MODEM+ADB and plug in your usb to your pc. I normally open device manager to see what port my phone is, I sugest you do the same.
Now that you know what port your phone is on DFS click on the port tab and select your port now find the MSL or SPC space and enter your MSL then hit the play button to the left, now that your phone is unlocked we are ready to make changes.look at my images so you can compare.
Click on the programming Tab
Now hit the read button and change the MIN number MIN D , SPC, and MND number for the one provided by metropcs.
Now look to the right is the PRL section click on the load button look for the prl the click on the write button, now on the reset button and your phone will reset, I like to do it one step at a time. Now test out the PRL by going to settings about. or just dial *611 from phone and you should get metropcs. If you didn't, make sure that the mid has changed.
Onece you have that Down re hook up your phone to DFS like before click on te program tab and now on the Data tab. Change settings to match my pics and to get your password use this http://www.whiterabbit.org/android/ to calculate your metropcs MSL just type in your ESN . Once you have it hit write.
Now click on the mobile ip tab and hit read change setting to match pic in the AAA and the HA put in your metropcs MSL ,then hit both of the write buttons, and then the reset button, wala your almost done.
next step set data setting within the phone to stream youtube, Pandora and other multimedia apps that need streaming with in cricket or metropcs
dial ##data# press on edit and enter the spc code you wrote down press on others press on multimedia rtsp proxy port to 0 then press on back.
MMS: follow this guide by Max_pain: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875760 you will need a file from there make sure to thank him.
This is the biggest hurdle, which very few people have successfully gotten to work. It is not a perfect solution but it works very well for us.
Download the following Zip file (not flashable):
Follow these instructions carefully:
1. Download and install Titanium Backup. You will also need the PRO version, so you'll need to shell out a couple of bucks if you don't already own it. It's well worth it anyways.
2. Download and install APN Backup & Restore from the Market.
3. Open APN Backup & Restore, ignore the ICS warning, and click on "Backup APNs". Exit out of APN Backup & Restore.
4. Place this folder in your SD Card.
5. Copy MetroPCS_MMS_Send_APN.xml from this folder to the APN Backup folder in the root of the SD Card.
6. Open Titanium Backup, go under Backup/Restore, and find APN Backup & Restore, press and select "Make system app."
7. Open APN Backup & Restore, ignore the ICS warning, press menu, and disable ICS check. Exit APN Backup & Restore.
8. Open APN Backup & Restore again, and now there should not be an ICS warning!
9. Click on "Delete APNs."
10. Click on Restore APNs and select "MetroPCS_MMS_Send.APN.xml".
10a. Press Ok after selecting the above.
10b. Press No when you get the message asking Yes or No.
11. Using Root Explorer or a similar app, copy the SecMMS.apk file from this folder to your /system/app/ folder.
11a. Make sure you are in R/W mode and click Yes to overwrite existing file if you get the message.
11b. Make sure to delete/overwrite any existing SecMms.apk from the /system/app directory. You should only have one SecMms.apk file.
11c. Make sure to delete any SecMms.odex if you're on the stock or an odexed rom.
12. Set permissions to RW-R--R--
13. Reboot.
14. Open the Messaging app and under Settings make sure to check (enable) "SMS split".

i tried this and dont know why my s3 keep saying Sprint and it dosent receive calls o text...
Can you please please help me if i do something wrong

Working Talk Text and Data
I literally got my talk text and data working 2 min ago. I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 that I now am using on Metro PCS.
What I did,
Step 1.
Install Samsung Drivers
Install Kies (To update: I was on 4.1.1 now I'm running 4.1.2)
Step 2.
Root Samsung Galaxy S3. I used Casual one click (It's literally one click)
- Google search key phrase 'root verizon samsung galaxy s3 casual one click'
Step 3.
Now you should have SuperSU
Download
1. APN Manager- I have APN Manager Pro
2. Titanium Backup
Step 4.
I used Titanium Backup to uninstall all the Verizon bloatware, and overall junk I don't use. With removing bloatware click on backup/restore then select and hold APN Manager Pro (or whatever) and select convert to system app.
Step 5.
If not updated to 4.1.2, do so. - You'll need to have the ability to add an APN, only possible with 4.1.2.
I bypassed setting the language etc. with the four corners technique. Google Keyword: 'android four corners trick'
Step 6.
I went out and activated a MetroPCS plan, and got a simcard. At this point I could make and receive calls and text, but no data or mms.
Step 7.
From APN Manager Pro I clicked insert new APN. this can also be done from settings -> More settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> More options soft key: Add new access point. (Updating from phone settings in my opinion is simpler)
Step 8.
New APN
Name: "fast.t-mobile.com" (You can put whatever you want)(without quotes)
APN : "fast.t-mobile.com" (without quotes)
MMSC: "htetep:mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc" (without quotes.Sorry i think you understand what i mean, please put in the letters and not htetep)
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
make sure APN is enabled is checked
Everything else has 'Not set', my APN protocol also says IPv4
Step 9.
Close settings completely
Go back to settings --> Access Point Names to make sure it is still there. Select it if not selected already.
Step 10.
Power off
pull out battery and sim card
wait 10 sec
power on
Step 11.
Enjoy data and mms.

Thank you guys for the instructions, I think I'm about to do the same for my Verizon S3.
But before I do, can you guys post what kind of speed you're getting on the new Metro(GSM)/T-Mobile 3G network?
I remember MetroPCS original 3G on CDMA was horrible and I just want to make sure the Verizon S3 won't suffer the same faith.
Thanks again in advance for you input!

Has anyone tried this with either JB? My phone is on the 4.3 update and I was wondering if it will work.

Your post is very promising to me since I'm looking to do the exact same thing and not looking forward to the complicated process detailed in the OP. I have a few clarifying questions I hope you don't mind answering for me:
1) Are you limited to 2G and 3G only, or are you able to have 4G/LTE connections?
2) Sorry to oversimplify your method, but boiled down, it sounds like you accomplished exactly what I want to do more or less by simply rooting, debloating, and changing the APN settings. Is this accurate? (Yes I've read your post all the way through five times+, I get there are certain important details to follow, but is my summary correct?)
3) I get the feeling you won't be able to answer this one, but worth a shot: Do you have any idea if this will work if the Verizon S3 came with KitKat (4.4.2) installed? Exhaustive research tells me it's impossible to downgrade android versions from this version.
Thanks for sharing this, and hopefully any answers you can give me. I'll be updating my post on whether or not it works for me when I try later

You are correct, root + debloat, change APN settings. When I had the phone I was limited to 3g speeds. I was still able to use maps, and surf without pulling my hair out. Although, most everywhere I went had wifi so I just ended up using that. As far as number 3, I am not sure. I no longer have the phone. Does the APN show up in network settings now? Could you just try the settings above? You could check if casual one click supports 4.4.2. If it does, you could give it a shot. I didn't have to use it, but if anything goes wrong use ODIN to restore your phone.

My sprint Samsung s3 has no card slot, and I'm with metro, can I use this method and get my metro plan on my s3??? Please need help!!!

Hi, if you get the error in step 13 test select Setting option> comport> and select the port to which you are connected again and give OK. Good luck

Hey guys, I will reactivate this topic a little. I ve got LG F180K and I converted it to E975 without doing EFS backup (still had imei number but no signal). I flashed modem for K and it still didnt work, flashed L modem and it...worked. No LTE and no 2G, only 3G, still imei.
What to do then if I want come back to F180K ROM? (NO EFS BACKUP)

If you unlocked using freegee the imei backup folder is their in your internal storage root folder. freegee backups even if you don't choose to.

Do this step for no signal if your IMEI is correct(not null).Root is necessary for this step
Install "SQLite editer" from Google play to open "settings.db" in location "Data\data\com.android.providers.settings\database s" select "global" -> find "subscription_mode" change value "1" to "0" then save and exit.

i have same problem due to convert f180k to e975. i have solved it by factory rest after flash and after factory reset (setting->backup and reset-> reset phone) restore IMEI and then again factory reset.
Factory reset after flash is main solution.

Sorry for necroing an old thread, but my lg g6 t- mobile h872 , suddenly says IMEI null after the latest 20a-e update. I never rooted, or flashed any custom roms before
What should I do?

4. When message is appear press "Yes".
5. Go to dial window.
6. Enter "*#7284#" number.
7. Set "USB" radio button to "Modem" value.
8. Close window.
9. Go to dial window.
10. Enter "*#9090#" number.
11. Set "Diag config" to "USB" value.
12. Restart phone.
13. Then download EFS Professinal from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1308546
14. Extract and open efs professional and click on Qualcomm NV Tools
15. You must see your device in "Available COM Ports"
16. Now click on "connect", it will show "SPC was accepted by the phone".
17. Now just see the "IMEI Repair"column, it will show blank or '0'.
18. Now type your IMEI number infront of "IMEI" and click "Write IMEI".
19. Thats it.
