hello all, this is my first time here, although i am not a noobie to flashing phones, i need help finding information to get my phone flashed back to USCC using DFS cdma tool. It's easier just to start from the beginning. i bought a uscc s4 off ebay, and paid to have it flashed to page plus, it worked well for a while and then just died service wise after a couple months and page plus offered me nothing but problems so i cancelled my service with them and need to get back to uscc so i can just have everything back to normal. right now i am on the stock rom, version 4.4.2 ... to be honest, all i really am posting for is the information i need to use in DFS, i didint screenshot anything during the remote flash and i do not have any of the information i need in order to write to the phone and have it connect to uscc towers again. im not certain if im just stupid, and its something so obvious that noone posts about it anywhere, or if its something so complicated that noone has the information. either way, i really need my phone back, and even if this is so stupid to read that youre shaking your head please at least just respond and tell me about my stupidity and just give the answer, this is driving me nuts, i already put the original esn back however i dont know any of the other info for uscc. please help and thank you all for taking the time to help.

Hi Everyone,
I am new to writing on the forums however I have read them over the last several years!
I am in the process of purchasing the Nexus 6P for 2 reasons
1)- Project Fi
2) Rooting- With regards to rooting your first phone if you all can go back to that time as I know most if not all of you are pros at it by now, I would very much appreciate to hear the mistakes you made if any and any advice in general. I have read all of the threads on rooting and I had a rooted Verizon s5 that a friend of mine did and I LOVED IT!! Unfortunately since I am on Verizon (don't kill me to much with the comments, unlimited data is the only reason) I am stuck with phone that I can't do anything with. I currently have the Note 5 and Note 4 and I know these cannot be rooted so its time to get the Nexus 6P and learn how to do it without bricking the phone!
So please if anyone would like to chime in, I would appreciate it any and all feedback greatly!!
Thanks everyone!

Way back when when I first rooted my (maguro) Galaxy Nexus, I didn't bother to read enough, learn how to do things for myself and used a toolkit. Of course there was a problem that I didn't know how to recover from, but luckily managed to figure things out enough to get through it. So read, read some more, then read more again. Oh, and skip the toolkit. Just follow Heisenberg's Guide. btw, Fi & the 6p are a great combo.
Agreed, follow the linked guide. If you follow the directions exactly, you should have no issues rooting it. Just do it right away as unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone. So any apps you installed or tweaks you make before doing that will be lost. I'm also on Verizon, and that is a very big part of the reason I went with the 6P, to have a rooted modern flagship phone on their network. But I have no regrets. It's a great smartphone. Just takes a little getting used to after owning Samsung's for a while.
Lol I've made my fair share of mistakes on the nexus 5 and even prior to that on the LG G2X. The thing about a nexus is that it's pretty darn difficult so hard brick. Most of the time if you just can't get the thing to boot, you can always fastboot flash stock images and or recovery if needed. Learning to use fastboot is a huge safety net for you with this device. I read Heisenberg's guide 10 times before rooting the device and I STILL had questions. Luckily, the nexus community here at XDA is the most hardcore, friendly and helpful android flash addicts that you'll find on the net. We're always here to help. Especially Heisenberg himself. He's always answering questions and explains proper procedures in a very clear, understandable manner. Read his guide, its now your android bible. Enjoy the 6p!
Awesome, Thanks for all suggestions, I will for sure read it again at least 10 more times! Feel free to keep the suggestions coming, Thank you everyone!
Learn the Fastboot method for everything!! It is reliable and takes out any third party toolkits.
Hey Guys, if you had the opportunity to purchase the Note 4 Developer Edition or the Nexus 6P which one would you chose? I found a guy selling the Note 4 locally, and since I had a note 4 I have a bunch of accessories for it already. But the more important question is which is better software wise and for rooting? Thanks!

The 6P beats the Note 4 hands down, especially when it comes to software and rooting. There is literally no phone available that's easier to modify than a Nexus.
Awesome, thanks so much Heisenberg!!! I am going with the 6p, and I can't wait to try your root method, thanks for all of your hard work!!!
Nexus 6p 64 gb ordered!! Thanks everyone, reading and re-reading everything as I type!
Hi Everyone, I don't know if this is the correct place to ask this question, but I have been studying the Heisenberg's guide root for beginners.
My main concern/question is that it states that Java is required for root. I currently do not have Java installed on my PC as I have read that it is "unsafe" I have a mac and a PC in which I can perform the root, however the guide is for PC. With that being said, does anyone know of a safe way to download Java on a Windows 7 machine? Or a link? If so please let me know, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks!

Safe way to download java would be to get it from Java themselves without the junk ask toolbar. - https://www.java.com/en/download/
Alternatively you can use something like ninite to stop the bloat install - https://ninite.com/java8/ (i'd go with this option as it simply downloads and installs without effort and no junk attached)
Thanks, I will check it out now!
Don't use the toolkit to root.
I'm really sorry to do this but it seems every thread i post just goes unanswered and it's getting very frustrating. So yes I'm being that person just this one time. I've linked to my other thread that's sat unanswered for at least a few weeks regarding sd card ROM usage. I'd really like to try it but I'm stuck and need help
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/sd-card-ram-regular-storage-t3613406
I would really appreciate any input other than "you've already made a thread for this so I'm closing this one"... Please. This place is normally so helpful but the last like 5 things I've asked overall have gone unhelped. Getting so frustrated.
Thanks for understanding
In need of even more help than i thought.
Help? Plz
Seriously is nobody able to assist me??
This forum is so disappointing lately. usually so helpful but the past 6 months or so, anything ive asked gets ignored.
im wanting to breathe more life into my device, but i sit around for weeks if not months waiting for some help from someone with more experience than me. Its really quite frustrating.
If there is anywhere more appropriate that i need to ask for help, please by all means direct me there. But, nobody has given me anything to go on.
I am appreciative for any help i might receive
I know this is probably already posted somewhere, but I'm new and I have tried to find something answering this question, but I feel like a blind man trying to read a map. I just bought a T-Mobile S7 Edge off of a friend, because the touchscreen stopped working on my S6. I have been using a back up old flip phone for the past week, and when i tried to add the T-Mobile S7 Edge to my account, it cant find the phone via the IMEI. The phone is permanantly unlocked. I know that T-Mobile uses GSN, and Verizon CDMA, but from the things that I have found, it is possible to get it switched over. I just haven't figured out exactly how to do it though. The few things that I find don't really tell me exactly what I need to do. I currently have the SM-G395U build on the phone. Can someone please tell me what I need to do in order to switch m phone over? Or at least point me in the right direction please? The flippity-flip is making me want to shoot myself. You would be helping me out so much you have NO IDEA! PLEASE HELP!! Sorry if I am posting this in the wrong section, but I felt this would be a good place to start.
Thanks in advance.
