[TUTORIAL] Flash Epic to Cricket.

--**Here's a method to get the Epic flashed to cricket with internet and apps***--
***Edit- I cleaned up my post and attached a good PRL to use (42700) and "ConnectBot.apk". I also believe I have MMS sorted out. I'm gonna double check everything later tonight to make sure there's no issues and I'll update my post accordingly.
---Requirements---
*Download and install Qpst. 2.7 build 355
*Download and install normal Epic 4g drivers.
*Cricket prl. (42700 PRL is what I recommend. I've attached it to my post)
*USB Cable
*Your MSL.(I attached connectbot to my post in case you need it)
_________________________
---Getting your MSL---
-If you know your MSL already you can skip this part and start at the "Getting started and setting up QPST".
1. Find and install "Connectbot" found in the market or at the bottom of my post.
2. Select the dropdown box on the bottom left that says "SSH", and choose "local". Put whatever you'd like in the nickname box and hit "enter".
3. Click on "Android".
4. Use the command "getprop ril.MSL" and hit "enter".
5. Your MSL should now be displayed.
...If that doesnt work...
1.Type "getprop" instead.
2. It should show a long list, scroll down to the section that starts with "ril".
3. You should see "ril.msl", the 6 digit MSL number will be after that.
---Getting started and setting up QPST---
1. Plug in your phone to your computer and when prompted to choose between "Charging, mass storage, or tethered modem", choose "Tethered modem", then choose "3g modem".
2. Open up QPST > "QPST Configuration". Click on the "Add new port" on the bottom right. Uncheck mark the "Show serial and USB ports only". In the box above it, you should see your phone connected and the corresponding COM port. Select it and the "Port" and "Port label" will autofill. Hit "Ok".
3. Open up QPST > Service programming. Select your phone in the "Select an active phone" box.
Click on "Read from phone" and enter your SPC when prompted.
***(Note: If you are having trouble with QPST recognizing your phone, instead of using the "Tethered modem" method when plugging in your phone, dial ##8778# and switch both the "UART" and "USB" options to "MODEM". QPST should then see your phone. Revert the "MODEM" option in the previous menu to "PDA" when done.)
---For talk/text---
1. You will first write a new prl to your phone. Cricket prl 42700 is preferred.
2. Click on the "Roam tab at the top.
3. Click on the "browse" button under "Preferred roaming" and locate the prl file you wish to write.
4. Click on "Write to phone".
5. Let QPST do it's thing and voila, your new PRL will be written to your phone.
---For internet---
1. Click the "M.IP" tab (may be "M.IPv6") and set "Mobile IP Behavior" as "MOB + Simp".
Select any profiles listed under "user profiles" and click edit. Do the following for all profiles:
Make sure that "profile enabled" is checked and enter in the following:
NAI: [email protected]
Tethered NAI: [email protected]
2. Change "home address", "primary ha", and "secondary HA" to all zeros.
3. On both "HA Shared" and "AAA Shared Secret, select the "enter text string" and type in the following password (all lower case): "cricket".
4. Click "Ok".
5. Set active user as "0".
6. Click "PPP Config".
7. Click the "Um" Button.
8. Under user ID enter: [email protected] as well as for tethered NAI. If a text box is black with red lines in it, click it and press ctrl + D. Enter "cricket" in the password box.
9.Click the "AN" Button and repeat the last step.
10. Click "write to phone"...After that, you should now have the 3g icon on your phone.
11. Last step to get internet and apps working, if you're already activated on cricket, is to call customer service and have them switch you to the 55 dollar Android plan.
_________________________
*Please note: They have a 55 dollar "All-in" plan, as well as the $55 Android one. So make sure you're put on the right one. I've had most luck by asking to speak with the "Smartphone department" and then requesting them to have my equipment and plan changed.
**Thanks to anderdroid for testing Android plan with fascinate.
Hope this helps! PM me if you need a download link for QPST.

how would if you do it using QPST?
I am still waiting for mine to arrive but I always use QPST to inject to other networks and unlock the EVDO

wait for further infomation, because i want to use it in China, where the carrier situation is a little complicated.

cdma isn't carrier locked, if its the same frequency then you should se if cricket will flash it for u

Alternatively...you can install the regular Epic drivers and plug in the phone...when given the three choice prompt, choose "tethered modem"...then select 3G tether. The phone will then connect on a COM port and you can then connect to your phone using CDMA Workshop, QPST, or whichever programming tool you prefer and flash the prl that way. I'm still working on getting the data up and running.

Default 16 digit should be 01F2030F5F678FF9, give it a try. You can also use CDMA Workshop to read and change your Epic's SPC, which is the way I prefer.

So, quick question, do I need a specifically modded rom to run my Epic on Cricket, or is it that I can use any rom and then flash the phone??? I'd like to know this because I bought the phone off contract and would like to use it on Cricket. -thanks

Nope, doesn't need to be any specific rom. It can be whichever one, even the stock one.

Sick!!! this makes my life so much easier thanks!

I finally managed to write AN data parameter for EV-DO, using QPST 2.7 build 355, other version wont write the ev-do parameter. Data is ON now for my network.
This is only because my carrier using simple IP, I believe cricket is using a mobile IP, so the case might be different.

Well, I'm kinda new at this flashing business and my contract with my gsm provider has been over. I just wanted to transfer my number onto my new epic 4g on cricket but so far I haven't found a dealer who can do it, can anyone help me out, maybe post a tutorial or guide, it would be hugely appreciated

I made this in a hurry, but I believe I got everything.
**thanks to anderdroid for testing Zio plan with fascinate.
***Edit- Since I'm a new member, it wouldn't let me post the links to the downloads of Qpst and the 32100 cricket PRL. PM me if you need either.

Now if there was a way to make sprint think this was a Hero and not an Epic then we could avoid the $10 charge. That's the only real reason I have went back to the Hero.

Wow, great guide, thanks! Just a couple o more questions, sorry. Where one has to input the 10 digit cricket number it is assuming then that you have an account already and that you'll be moving to 55 dollar plan in order to achieve that change to 3g enabled correct?

No problem, but to answer your question...yes, it is assuming that. You can get your account set up first and flash the text/talk portion using the steps above and once that's done, you can get the internet set up and working...

Perfect, thanks! :]

If anyone would like screen dumps I can do this... There were a couple of steps I needed to do to connect.
Thanks for the help everyone!
EDIT:
Rock on... Got data now! I had to do this all because my wife and I are going through a divorce. I purchased the phone, but it was on her account. Well she decided to turn it off, and I remembered hearing about how everyone changed their phone over to Cricket...
The store that I started my Cricket service with gave me the all in 55 plan. Had to make a call tonight to get it changed. Nothing happened after the first call and after the second call I asked if there was anything I needed to do. He told me to dial *228 talk and then it would reboot itself. I was hesitant because I thought this might be standard operating procedure for just the Zio. I dialed it and listened to the message. Then it hung up and a pop up screen said CDMA call dropped. There was an X inside of a circle next to the signal bars. I finally rebooted it and then the data worked.
I got the MSL by using ConnectBot from the market and followed this procedure, logging in local (bottom left drop down menu), typing a random username, connecting, and using the "getprop" command.
What will we have to do to get the Froyo update though?

I need those couple extra steps to connect since I'm having trouble getting the phone recognized by QPST please

Open QPST Configuration > Ports > Add New Port (you may have to uncheck Show Serial and USB....)
If you can't locate the port based on the results then go into your Device Manager on your computer. Check under COM ports there to see what your Samsung is under. After you add this port then you should be able to use QPST Service Programmer.
Uh another cool thing is that I can use the Sprint Hotspot utility. I took the security off and it works. 3g hotspot for free and without root.

[Q] rogers Unlocked samsung focus on bell - Data doesn't work

Hi,
I recieved a rogers samsung focus today.
Inserted my bell sim card, and booted. was asked for a code, i entered an unlock code i got and it was accepted.
I can send and receieve calls and text msgs, however i can not get an data on the phone, via web browser, live hotmail, or xbox app.
I accessed the diag app via ##634#, however when i try enter the root menu (*#197328640#) nothing happens
I suspect the issue is the network profile is not set to auto, and rogers manuelly configured the phone with there xml profile.
with the LG wp7 device i was using yesterday i could "SET ADC" :enable" or "set network profile", via the ##634# menu => factory menu => engineer menu => other settings
anyone have any suggestions?

apn
in settings add bells apn and it should work fine, stay out of the diagnostic menu, there shouldn't be anything there to change, I can't remeber where in settings it is but there is a spot to add an apn,

WOW that was pretty easy.
APN location: settings/cellular/add APN
Bell lists the info on their site, for reference the APN settings are;
APN: pda.bell.ca
Proxy server: web.wireless.bell.ca
Port: 80
I've added the APN to the focus and browsing and xbox live work, i wonder if adding the proxy server would make things faster/better signal? and if so, how?
On another note, when i renegotiated my plan last week MMS was added, and i was using it on my LG WP7 Device. How do i change the MMS setting on the focus?
From bell's site;
Enter the following in the Message Centre/MMS gateway field:
MMSC URL: htp://mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc

I'm on Bell and thinking about getting a focus as well.
How is it? Is everything working correctly?
How do you go about getting an unlock code?

1. Go to the phone app
2. Dial ##634# and click Send
3. When prompted for a password type 277634#*#
4. You should now be at "Factory Menu"
5. Choose "Engineer Menu"
6. Choose "Other Setting"
7. Verify that "Set ADC" is set to Enable
8. From the "Other Setting" page, choose "Set network profile"
9. You should now be on the "Set network profile" page and in the bottom half of the window you should see a list of *.xml files. These appear to be the network configuration files.
10. Look at the filenames for the config files and take your best guess at which one to choose for your provider. I'm on AT&T and I fixed the MMS problem by choosing "_PROV_ATT_US_310_410.xml"
After you choose that *.xml profile, your MMS should be working."
The changes they are making are the ones to change the MMS capability as this can be carrier locked – outside of the phone lock/unlock status.

I got my unlock code through a local cellphone shop (gave him the IMBI #), downtown london(ont), not sure where he got it from, seems to have worked.
I can call and recieve text msgs but data is a bit of an issue.
You have to add APN for bell (proxy server would make things speed up unboudtably but no field for it).
It almost feel like you have to push or send a signal for data to turn on / start. usually the first time i try a webpage or bing search it doesn't work, get error " no network or wi-fi"
in terms of phone i like it better then LG optimum bell offers (had it for a week). didn't like the slide out keyboard, typing # was a pain (virtual keyboard pretty got and auto correct awesome). Also, larger screen and significantly lighter. Colours are more vivid as well, green is green not some yellow derivative.
be warned though, many many things that are lacking, january update will be interesting.
*****just tried sending picture txt no luck.....******
------- hopefully someone will figure out how to access the focus profile xml
on a side note:
after many many speedtests in London, Ont, and Hamilton,Ont; DL speed on bell caped at 3 mbps. (tests were on both LG optimum and SAMSUNG Focus)
I suspect that the $10 fee, Bell will be introducing in the next few weeks shale be to increase speed beyond this.

##634# on a focus brings up a different menu "diag" not "MFG"
anyone have any other ideas?

I live in London and have a Samsung focus to, can u tell me where is this shop?

Hey Reaver_Shadow, did you ever get your MMS to work on your phone?

No dice - 277634#*# does nothing at the diagnostics menu. It just sits there looking at me. Are you sure this is the correct code?

the 277634#*# is for the LG MGF "app" you get installed when you dial ##634# on an LG WP7 phone it doesn't work on a samsung device. It doesn't work on mine, and i have yet to see anyne state that it works on theres.
The closest thing is a "app" that gets installed when you dial ##634# called "diag"
try entering in the diag program (found either by app menu or dialing ##634# again):
*#197328640#
and see if it works or just sits there and stares

Yeah still my biggest problem is MMS settings in the phone. Does anyone get a 3G+ symbol on the signal menu? Trying to understand why it doesnt say if HSPA is connected or not...

Yeah I get it all the time when downloading dada, wether its in the market place, emails or netflix...!

as for the data. I was having trouble too, then went into Settings>cellular>add APN>
and I noticed that when I was searching for a network there, it was coming up scan unsuccessful. So I deleted my APN, and scanned again, found the right network, which for me was EINSTEIN HOME, (IN WIS USA) and added internet.air.net with no password or username and now apparently Im on the data network.
Great! Now the Focus and the Quantum I have are data ready, just looking further into the MMS settings. Thanks to a link I found on here, I have the registry key that the settings are in, but unlike windows, I cant just type regedit and change the settings, so trying to find a windows phone 7 regeditor to change that and all set. Will post if I find one. Thanks again guys. ohh and I saw someone is on this, (the MMS settings already, if I see a solution there too Ill post it as well. Good luck!

I got it to work on my Focus Bell Canada using the following thread:

In order for me to get 3g on my boost flashed s4 I had to input the settings for profile 1 that came from my donor. Its a different password than the 32 digit password u use on profile 0. My s4 would not ota with just profile 0 set. Stil doesnt but 3g works!

Sorry was dfs..im flashed to boost so things may b different for u. I had to delete the app that pops up for the hands free activation so it would stop popping up. Did u pull aaa password for profile 1?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

I can confirm that you can get all this working on sprint legacy. I got Voice, Data, Text ... working but 3G data was slow. I did ##DEBUG# and put in lock code SPRINT (777468) ... goto EVDO Engineering Protocol ...State was INACTIVE ... AN-AAA was FAIL.
If your AN-AAA is fail then you copied over a DFS setting wrong. You'll need to re-write certain fields with DFS over and over again to get them to stick. I connected my Epic donor read all the tabs in DFS and took screen grabs of the Programming General, Data, NAMM (make sure you set NAM1 & NAM2), Mobile IP Profile 0, Mobile IP Profile 1. I connected the S4 to DFS and read all the tabs and compared them against the screen grabs. I did a write command to make sure every checkbox matched perfectly and the ones that couldn't be un-populated on the S4 I left alone. I then re-read the tabs with the S4 one last time to make sure the changes kept.
This solved my slow data connection with the S4. If I do ##DEBUG# then EVDO state is now Active and AN-AAA is pass.
Good luck.

Its strange mine says pass no matter the active profile.. on profile 0 I get the 3g symbol but that forbidden error. On profile 1 I get no 3g symbol and error 67.

If you're getting error 67 the your profile 1 AAA key is not correct. It is not the same as profile 0.

I've written what I thought was the correct 12 digit key for profile 1 and it says pass under debug.... Could it still be wrong?

Error 67 is data profile error, regardless of what debug says there has to be something entered wrong in your profile 1 in dfs ... Redo the whole profile in dfs and recheck against screen grabs as I suggested.
Also, make sure you also updated the prl. I'm using PRL 56012

Same Ploblem
Hi
I have the same problem ,my phone (SPH-L720) flashed to other CDMA network outside USA , all the setting was right but unfortunately i couldn't get data working.
It's only connected for 2 minutes after phone boot up then drop automatically and couldn't get 3G again until reboot.
I noticed there was a gateway IP address in ##DATA# > View > Others > Browser > Gateway IP & Port & Secure Port
in ##DATA# > Edit > Others there is no option here to edit the gateway ip & ports

I can confirm that you can get all this working on sprint legacy. I got Voice, Data, Text ... working but 3G data was slow. I did ##DEBUG# and put in lock code SPRINT (777468) ... goto EVDO Engineering Protocol ...State was INACTIVE ... AN-AAA was FAIL.
If your AN-AAA is fail then you copied over a DFS setting wrong. You'll need to re-write certain fields with DFS over and over again to get them to stick. I connected my Epic donor read all the tabs in DFS and took screen grabs of the Programming General, Data, NAMM (make sure you set NAM1 & NAM2), Mobile IP Profile 0, Mobile IP Profile 1. I connected the S4 to DFS and read all the tabs and compared them against the screen grabs. I did a write command to make sure every checkbox matched perfectly and the ones that couldn't be un-populated on the S4 I left alone. I then re-read the tabs with the S4 one last time to make sure the changes kept.
This solved my slow data connection with the S4. If I do ##DEBUG# then EVDO state is now Active and AN-AAA is pass.
Good luck.

What if your epic is long dead which is one of the reasons this route was chosen and nothing but the numbers for activation were used? Used to see error 67 a lot. Now just 131. No calls, texts, or data. By deactivating and reactiving my account one tech was able to get rid of the error 131 and a 3G icon popped up, but still had no data or anything....Then the call dropped and all her worked washed away with the other reps.....
I saw AAA fail in the debug menu so I guess I'll have to go to the other thread and look into them more.

LS980 Straight Talk GSM MMS Problems

So I just picked up a sprint G2 off craigstlist and have finally gotten the sim card working, recognized, all that jazz. However, MMS doesn't work at all... I'm sure I put in the tfdata apn correctly (using an app that links to the apn settings, which I couldn't find), but data works. MMS does not. It's confusing. Anyone have suggestions?

Same for me in Canada on the Bell network. Tried Hangouts and Textra, no luck. I couldn't find a hack or workaround.

Found a trick that worked. If you press and hold the power button for 2 seconds, this menu will pop up. Depending on your ROM, choose the "reboot" or "Shut down and restart" option... My SMS now works flawlessly. And if anyone wants to know how to use a sprint lg g2 on straight talk GSM (or art or whatever), feel free to ask questions. I now have working MMS, calling, 3g data, texts, GPS, WiFi, NFC, and 10x1 shimano 105 drivetrain.

Reset didn't work for me, but I got it working. Here's what I did...
In the dialer press ##443336772# -You will get a 6 digit SPC code, remember this
In the dialer, press ##DATA# -This will take you to hidden Data settings
Select MMSC
Hit Edit -You will be prompted for your SPC code (Get this wrong twice and your phone will shut off)
You now have 3 options -Set URL, Gateway, and Set Port. These are all set by Sprint. My Port was ok but URL from my APN settings was not used! Now, set your URL (EG. mine was http://mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc)
Set your gateway. This is by default a bunch of numbers, but my actual gateway that works is my MMS Proxy (web.wireless.bell.ca)
Your phone may restart
You can now send/receive MMS!

From what I've found you have to root, then edit build.prop ? I've thinking about getting one, but I want to be sure I can use it on Straight Talk

Yep. Or you can flash a number of AOSP roms from the G2 android levelopment section. Using my AT&T straight talk card and it works fine.

Do you know if there is any real difference between the older AT&T ST sims and the new 4G LTE ones? I heard it just might be a little different APN settings

I don't know for sure, as I only have the Straight Talk AT&T LTE microsim. However, both cards use the same bands so I'd think the older sim would work too

I'm using Rayglobe Flex 4.0 that ported I for the lS980 for my wife and mine Sprint G2 and everything but NFC works great using StraightTalk AT&T sim. Talk, Text, Internet and MMS work with the the proper APN of coarse.

What do you mean "ported"? Are there any specific installation methods for the flex rom or can I flash it through recovery? I looked at the thread for Rayglobe flex, but it wasn't posted under the LS980 forum. If you could give me basic instructions and what your apn settings are that would be great. I can add a new apn, but it won't save it.

Someone with an activated Sprint LS993 mind testing FoxFii 2.19 with PDAnet 4.15?

Just need someone with an activated Sprint LS993 (LGG6) to test FoxFi 2.19 with Full version key. Just install both FoxFi apks on phone and install PDAnet on Windows 7. Test USB mode and bluetooth if possible. Please make sure to test USB mode with USB cable.

UPDATE GOOD NEWS!!!!
Just to let all the Sprint LGG6 owners out there know. FoxFi 2.1.9 does not work with Android 7.0, however, PDAnet 4197 (aka PDAnet+) does, but Sprint blocks access to it in the play store. I have attached the .apk. The FoxFi Key.apk will convert it to a full unlocked version.
Enjoy,

Before Starting Make Sure You Have A Copy Of Your Internet Settings. (Everything in APN Settings)
Go to the Data Menu by entering ##DATA#
Select the APN Settings & Select Edit (Enter MSL)
Tap Each APN Separately (Select Edit & Enter MSL) & DELETE APNs (By Selecting The 3 Dots To The Right)
**You won't be able to delete ota apn but that's fine.
**Now you should have no internet!!!
Go To Regular Settings Then Select (More, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names) & Add APN Manually. **Adding "default,mms,supl,dun" under APN TYPE
**Put in all the correct settings the first time before saving APN. YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GO BACK & EDIT APN AFTER IT'S SAVE. (The only way to correct the APN once saving it is to start at step one. Yes starting all over.)
Once You Put The Correct APN Settings In & Save It, LTE or DATA Should Show Up.
TRY TETHERING!!! OH IT WORKS.....?

I did not know there was a way to do it on the G5.
I only knew methods for G2 G3 ill jump back to the G5 forums and search.
And yes i have all great setting on dev mode ,unknow sources..usb debug..etc

i was finally able to get the APN option to show up.
Here is what i did ..
Called sprint and asked to get my Phone UICC unlocked. I explained needed it to be able to use my phone abroad with other carries. (I have business trip in two weeks.)
This request takes two to three business days to get this through their system and your account has to be in good standing.
Then today i did ##72786# which resets provisioning parameters... Now the APN menu is available.
Now that the settings are available to me. I did try your method posetd but got no LTE data after all was said and done.
So i do have a few questions for you if you can still assist.
1. Where/did you get the full APN settings from ..on my phone it will not display it.(mms address ip etc..)
2. on my phone for LTE its using the IMS APN can you share your IMS APN settings with me?
much thanks once again.
