Buy HTC Vogue Clean ESN CDMA Set to eaby.com . & how to Use This Phone In India in CDMA Network. pls tell
I m read another Indian forum. HTC 6800/6900 convert to tata CDMA
here is detail
SID, NID, Primay Channer A & B, Secondary Channel A & B loaded Nam 1 & Nam 2 PRL, SPC = 000000
I got all above Parameter from Tata Customer Care and they told any Foreign ESN Handset can work if you are able to change the above Parameters, After that I Get an GSK (Getting Started Kit) of Tata which have 14 Digit Activation Number, then Dialed *228 and followed the Instruction, After 2 Hours (Tipical 10 Minutes they say) Received a SMS to Restart the Phone. Voila my HTC Mogul is Working on TATA
Will load my QPST .qct file (Ready made Setting for TATA) so every buddy can easily Activate Mogul on TATA
Everybody now Welcome to World of Tata Indicom
( Attached TATA.rar contains Nam1 PRL, Nam2 PRL, and Ready made QCN file for QPST Service Programming, also have GetSPC [ Run in PPC6800 / Mogul Type the ESN in Capital and get the Service Programming Code] )
Pls Help me
Sounds interesting but I'm just wondering
OK.... can u explore more on that.
How does one go about creating/editing the PRL settings contained here if they want to use this thing on a different network than Tata?
thx
This method work on Cricket in USA and in TATA in India
Just follow the Process and Activate using *228 Loading TATA Prl is needed or else it will not catch TATA Tower range.
Go on and take it into TATA
I already have activated so many Phones
Both Cricket and TATA accept non Allocated ESN and Activate the OTA and INsert the new ESN against users Services, Here in India Reliance dont activate any phone which ESN is not pre Registered in Reliance Network
I was wondering if this will solve my issue. I have bought a touch with a bad ESN and is unable to put it on my account. Will this clear the ESN?
I used this ..so easy
so if you activated your phone for india service, would you be able to use it in the United States?
--James
I did this for my Sprint Touch. I am still using it in the USA but my phone has been modified to support other carriers with no problem.
The steps are simple:
Here is what you need to do:
1. Download GetSPC(attached below)
2. Unzip to desktop
3. Turn off phone and remove battery.
4. Write down your HEX ESN
5. Power your device back on
6. Connect via ActiveSync or WMDC
7. Copy entire folder to main memory on device.
8. Run GetSPC.exe
9. In the top box type in your HEX ESN(make sure caps is on)
10. Click generate or whatever the button is named
11. The resulting number should be a 6 digit number, your MSL, write it down.
12. Search for, download and install Qualcomm's QPST tool.(not freeware)
THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE VERY DANGEROUS SO MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW MY DIRECTIONS EXACTLY.
13. Run QPST Configuration(run as admin if Vista)
14. From the Dialpad, dial ##3424#(##diag#)
15. Connect device to computer via USB(this will install drivers)
16. In QPST Configuration, click ports.
17. Continue to add ports until the QPST Configuration detects your phone
18. Under active phones it should display your phone.
19. Click Start Clients/Service Programming
20. Select phone and click ok.
DO NOT LEAVE FIRST TAB, THE SETTINGS TAB. THIS IS THE ONLY TAB WE WILL NEED TO CHANGE ANY SETTINGS
21. Under the settings tab, click Read from phone.
22. Input your MSL you got from GetSPC earlier.
23. Under codes where it says Service Programming, change this to 000000
24. Click Write to Phone
25. Wait 1 minute
26. Close Qualcomm QPST one window at a time.
27. Disconnect the USB cable from your device
28. Perform Soft reset once
29. Test new MSL(##000000#)
30. If new code does not go through, hard reset.
31. Depending on what device you have, follow the necessary steps to unlock your phone so you can flash a new ROM to it.
32. Install OEM ROM from carrier of choice or build your own custom ROM using the new carrier's information.
33. Follow instructions to flash new OS to device.
34. Call service provider and do some sweet talking to get them to activate the phone on their network. You may need to do some serious sweet talking because Sprint ESNs are not in Verizon's database and vice versa. This goes for all CDMA carriers.
Good luck.

are u then able to have both NAM1 & NAM2 on the phone?
NAM
You have to enable dual NAMs through the registry. And use QPST or CDMA Workshop to set them up.
Thanks a million time to Shadomite

Need English Viva ROM for Vogue (MP6900SP)
Thank you for this great post. I followed the instructions without bricking my phone. I looked at the 'simpler' one linked to here, but found the one on this thread much easier to follow and use.
Now all I need is the ROM for Viva (North America or Carribbean). Where can I find this? Thanks,

help me
How can I use this file for my HTC Hero CDMA? this QCN file giving error.
help me.
I have my Evo flashed to revol. I want to know where or what i can edit to make my phone only use 1x mobile data. When i turn off my WIFI i get the 3G icon for like 5 min then it finally turns to 1x and i finally get connections. What i want is to change it so it doesn't even look for 3G it just goes straight to 1x. Someone please help me find where this is located in the system. There has to be a file somewhere that has this in setting it. I have been looking for days now and cant find the answer. I have googled and searched on here and have found notta. PLEASE HELP
EDIT: problem solved in post 5
If you are running a EPST enabled rom. Just use ##3282# then EVDO change the preferred method to CDMA instead of automatic. You of course need to use edit and your MSL.
Under mobile networks on aosp you can force 2g only which is 1x or you can use 2g+3g or 3g only etc on cm7 or decks you cab use the notification toggle and set the mobile network mode to 2g only and off and when you enable mobile networks you will only use 1x and not evdo
We are legion, for we are many
Thanks guys for your help
Ok so if any one out there wants to force 1X data here is how.
1: Download a copy of QPST ( http://www.fileserve.com/file/xaJaa5z )
2: Download a copy of the newest PRL ( http://cid-eabe29f3770d8d15.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/.Public/PRLs )
3: install QPST
4: Using RL Editor in QPST open the PRL file
5: Under System Records find any that don't have 95(A,B)/1x as the system type and delete them.
6: Change the Preferred Roaming List ID to what ever you want it to be
7: Save the file
8: Copy it to your phones SD card
9: Use This method to update your PRL.
10: Reboot and you are done
REMEMBER to only delete the ones that don't have 95(A,B)/1x as the system type. Also don't change anything else as i don't know what might happen. If you run across any issues just update your prl back to the original.
Also i am not responsible if you screw up your phone. You are doing this at YOU OWN RISK.
Here is the newest PRL already edited for you: http://www.box.com/s/6s4bkj8cbv3bud8c7a47
This is the one i am using right now so it does work. You will know for sure it did by going to settings,about phone,network, and look at mobile network type. It should say CDMA 1xRTT. If it does then you are all set. If not then you didn't delete them all.
Earlier today I had a successful attempt at installing FXP's CM9 126 build. As a requirement I had to flash the R800x_4.0.2.E.57_Verizon.ftf via Flashtool to my phone before I could flash the Rom. My phone's provider is Cspire(formally Cellular South), and after the ftf my phone is trying to make contact with Verizon for activation, leaving my unable to call or text on my own provider. I've tried flashing a nand backup I had of one of Codename Andriod that I created when everything was working perfectly, but it didn't fix the problem.
Thank you for your time and please let me know what I can to fix this.
Sincerely,
Frag_Bag

You'll need to change the build.prop and apn settings. Found this from a quick search with someone that has a working verizon build.prop that is said to work on cspire
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dgteu3ziweifix8/build.prop
and his working apn settings:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/6cs5tqwdlcstt3s/apns-conf.xml
Also found this:
You could push the apn with ADB but i just edited mine with root explorer in /System/etc and restarted the phone.
As for CDMA Workshop is a service software for CDMA phones it is used for flashing phones to different carriers to put it plain as possible in my mind but it can be used for countless useful tasks, just Google it to read more. But the below method was much easier.
Dialing ##7764726(##program) is used to manually program your phone.
After dialing ##7764726 press call it will prompt for a SPC password it should be 000000
Then click User Activation
MIN1 I put the last 7 digits of my phone number.
MIN2 put the first three of phone number(area code).
MDN is your 10 digit phone number.
CDMA Sys ID put 1996
IMSI_11_12 put 12
Then hit back and click on SID/NID Pairs:
SID_1: put 1996
NID_1: put 65535
After this hit back till you exit all the way back out of the menu the phone will reboot after it reboots i dialed *22801 it didn't say anything just sat at the activation screen for about 30sec. Then it said reprogramming the phone then rebooted agin after that i was back on C spire.
Links are a little old but this is all I could find:

The Second post of the page explains a lot more about PRL and SID/NID just good to understand what your kinda messing with:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19537266
Also i don't know if this is the best way to accomplish this task but it took me awhile to figure out this fix it worked for me but i can't guarantee anything also im not responsible if something goes wrong and you brick(its always possible) but i am willing to help to the best of my abilities

I don't think you'll need the 1. Just the last 7 numbers. Try that to see if it works. And just so you know, I'm on verizon so all my answers are coming from google at the moment lol
I left the number the way it was and finished the steps, everything is working as it should and I can call and text. Thank you very much. Now i just have to find a fix for Mobile data. I really do appreciate it.

Mobile data would be in the build.prop and the apn settings, You should be able to use pieces from the build.prop I posted to work whatever rom you're on. I got to assume verizon and cspire are close to identical since they're both cdma. Half way there right?

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".

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!!!
My friend Jeremy helped me with getting rid of the "Hands Free Activation" pop-up and I thought I would share it. It especially comes in handy when you are flashed to another carrier. If you are on one of the new custom ZVB Roms you probably don't have to worry about it. All you have to do is:
1) Get a Root File Browser .... I like Rom Tool Box
2) Go to "System" folder
3) Go to "App" folder .... (not Apps)
4) Scroll down and find "OmaDmclient.apk" and rename it to "OmaDmclient.bak"
5) Reboot and you should not get that aggravating ass pop up any more
:silly::laugh:
I hope I've helped someone because a lot of people have damn sure helped me!

With Page Plus and Straight Talk you have to have certain APN's set. Is your APN correctly set for Page Plus?
EDIT: ( I don't even know if I can post this but I sure admin will let me know...LOL)
I found this in my files, used it long ago and am not sure if it still is applicable but there may some information in it that may be able to lead you in the right direction......

3G data speeds (HOW TO)
This guide is to get evdo data or 3g data speeds on phones flashed to page plus cellular this is not a beginers guide by no means this guide is assuming both spc codes are set to 000000.
things you will need:
1.A donor phone of your own that will ota program and one that you can swap the esn number to that of the target phone. I used a samsung i500
2.Target phone that you own
3.qpst and dfs 4.0.0.4 demo
4.drivers for both phones
Pre-Setup:
1.pull battery out of the target phone and LEAVE it out
2.place that esn number on the donor phone
3.Deactivate then reactivate the target phones esn number
4.OTA program the donor phone that has the swapped esn number on it.
5.Verify that 3g speeds are working on the donor phone
Phase 1:
1.Place donor phone in diagnostic mode and plug into computer
2.Open qpst configuration add the port
3.Go to start clients then efs explorer
4.Open the DMU folder and copy the 10.key file to your computer then exit qpst
Phase 2:
1.Open DFS and select the port that the phone is on
2.Send the spc you should see a device unlocked message in the log.
3.Go to the programming tab then the nam tab and read that page.
4.Read the Data tab and Mobile IP tab as well.
5.Do not close the dfs tab
6.Revert esn back to normal or smash the donor phone into a lot of pieces
Final Phase: (Non-Verizon and Sprint)
1.Power on target phone and place in diagnostic mode and plug into computer
2.Open qpst configuration add the port
3.Go to start clients then efs explorer
4.Now on the Left side of the efs explorer right click the screen go to new and directory
5.Name the directory "DMU" without the quotation marks then place the 10.key file into that directory by drag and drop then exit qpst
6.Now go back into dfs do not add the target phone yet and go to mobile ip nothing else on the screen should change
7.Now select the port the target phone is on in dfs and send the spc code
8.Write the nam tab to target phone after verifing it doesnt say home only then go to data tab and check the box next to pwd on the ppp section only which will change the pwd to hex format then write the data tab
9.Go to the mobile ip tab and right click the red stop sign looking thing on the second bubble and enable it and set active profile to 1 then click "write current profile settings" and click the write button on the left side of the screen
10.Now go back to the Nam tab and load the prl file I prefer using 00002 but you can experiment
Final Phase: (Verizon 4gLTE)
1.Power on target phone and place in diagnostic mode and plug into computer
2.Open qpst configuration add the port
3.Go to start clients then efs explorer
4.Now on the Left side of the efs explorer right click the screen go to new and directory
5.Name the directory "DMU" without the quotation marks then place the 10.key file into that directory by drag and drop then exit qpst
6.Now go back into dfs do not add the target phone yet
7.Now select the port the target phone is on in dfs and send the spc code
8.Write the nam tab to target phone after verifying it doesn't say home only then go to data tab and check the box next to pwd on the ppp section only which will change the pwd to hex format then write the data tab
9.Go to the mobile ip tab click "write current profile settings" and click the write button on the left side of the screen
10.Now go back to the Nam tab and load the prl file i recommend 00002 but experiment with what you want and reboot phone and enjoy
Having issues try getting 1x first on lte phones you will need a sim card unactivated by verizon and it should pop up after a minute or two should never take longer than 15 minutes the first time
make sure you have it set to nv only on lte handsets.
Need a guide for a specific model name it I'll write it for you step by step for a small fee.
Note I have not tested this on any apple product so cannot support them.
Between getting 1x and then going to target phone must be on airplane mode after esn on account is switched back
