Moving out of Sprint network into Verizon

I love my mogul...is there anyway to hack the phone so that I can get it hooked up with another network?

Good for you.
Sorry. There is no way to bring the sprint mogul to the Verizon network.
You will need a new xv6800. Much better phone anyway if you ask me.

why not? verizon opened their network to all devices, he should be able to activate it with them

It should be possible – for instance I operate Sprint Mogul in our local network. I even know people here who programmed HTC devices to have phone services from one network and the data (i.e. Internet) – from another.

I believe they are opening up their network and this won't be available until summer.

The most difficult thing would be to get Verizon to activate your ESN on their network. Verizon has announced that they will allow all approved devices, but that has not yet been implemented. You might be lucky enough to find a CS rep willing to do it.
After that, you would need to flash a Verizon ROM, get an A-key and MSID from Verizon, and either port your phone number to Verizon or get a new MDN. You would need to edit EPST to reflect these numbers.
After all that is done, dial *22801 on the device to set up the data parameters, followed by *22802 to load a Verizon PRL.
If I missed anything, or misstated any of the above, I am sure someone will chime in with a correction.

Actually... Verizon has opened their networks up, as of the 18th of February I believe. I could be wrong about the date, but I know its opened.
You can flash a verizon ROM onto your 6800, then call customer service and activate your phone. It should work that way, its what I did for a friend who switched from Verizon to Sprint for the cheaper data plan...

at least some areas opened it right after the announcement, berlin wall style, lol

I know this is an old thread, but has anyone successfully done this?
Specifically Sprint Mogul activated on the Verizon network.
Thanks

so has anyone done this?

The Samsung Epic 4G Flashing Guide (for alternative carriers)

The following is a guide I put together over the course of today about flashing the Samsung Epic 4G to both Cricket and Page Plus. This will work with phones that have bad ESN's (at least, Page Plus and Cricket) -- and with phones that are totally fine and saintly, but maybe you want to go to another carrier for a cheaper rate?
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E4nNITQnzEoEkkVp4j7k_N_yghvNh_SozuKe3az_Nx4/edit?hl=en_US
In the future, as more information becomes available, I'd like to incorporate other carriers that people are flashing (Metro PCS, Boost), as I find out more. The idea is to build a one-source guide for everything you need from start to finish.
The guide takes you from the very beginning to the very end. PRL's, etc, are all inclusive. I've flashed my Epic to both Cricket and Page Plus successfully -- just like Page Plus's coverage/quality better (and cheaper... but hardly any data -- user Wifi). Even if you don't want to flash, it still has useful things like unlocking your phone for use on any carrier that will take it.
Any comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Just as a note, I'm no longer involved in the Epic community. I migrated on to a newer device. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34802383&postcount=72 If you need any help, I will still be available through PM's to the best of my ability.

The HA/AAA shared secrets for Page Plus are not "vzw", trust me. I'm running with full 3G on Page Plus right now and after many late nights I realized the only way to get it was a temporary clone to a Verizon phone so that I could get the proper keys through OTA programming. Unfortunately posting a guide to that would probably get XDA on my/your ass. With the "vzw" password you will technically get 3G but it will be throttled to 1xRTT speed (about .1 Mbps). I don't know if the same is true for cricket or not...
Nevertheless I'm sure someone out there will very much appreciate the time and effort you put into this; props!

So using this guide i can unlock the epic meaning ill still be on sprint, but if i suddenly wanted metro i can just take it to the store and have em flash it?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

I request a stickey

I haven't flashed to Metro, but if I can find someone that supports all the features I want, I may give it a shot and write a guide. Does Metro support bad ESN's? (Long story short, got scammed by a Samsung Epic on CraigsList, Sprint said ESN was clear, but is still linked to scammer's account, who refuses to remove, etc, and commit insurance fraud... Talked to insurance and he's in jail now, apparently, but phone will probably be forever blacklisted on Sprint).
Currently, I'm trying to find a provider who can give Google Voice support and Data... MMS I'm not so concerned about. Page Plus is my only "good" option now (a step above cricket, but limited data). Any thoughts? Metro PCS apparently doesn't support Houston, TX when I try to find a plan, either.
EDIT: I may try to give Cricket another go. I've been reading a little bit more and have learned a bit about making Cricket work. Would be nice to try the $45 plan on Cricket to save some $$$. I've talked with some people who claim MMS and Google Voice CAN happen, but it's a little more tricky. Will let you know as I figure it out (must wait a month to not lose $30 from PagePlus).

im confused i dont have these MDN and MIN and your guide says i should have gotten them when i got the phone? is this from sprint and am i supposed to call?
also i got the phone replaced by another epic today. the phone kept trying to auto activate. it still is trying to autoactivate. i swapped the epic out for a nexus the other day. what should i do. if you can pm me and talk over the phone that would be great. my mom is going to new york wednesday and i want to pageplus this phone before she leaves.

I've gotten a couple PMs regarding the HA/AAA keys so I'm going to say this. I would gladly provide them for you guys but that's just not how it works. The keys change every time I (re)activate. They are probably tied to the time and the MEID of the phone, possibly more than that. My keys wouldn't do any of you any good.
It sucks, but the only way that I know to get them is to use a Verizon phone.

duh ask from carrier. now i followed all the steps including the manual update because auto won't happen. afterwards i autoupdated but it aint working? or am i supposed to buy airtime now?

not getting any help. please someone
i completed all the instructions and i can't dial out. i have a triangle at the top. when i call pageplus they are asking for a esn. what the heck am i supposed to do

What happens when you try to dial out? Have you bought/activated your service yet?

yesh i just activated a service using crap motorola. the prl on the page gave me a triangle on the bar i switched it to an older modified one for sprint. when i dial out i get the message welcome to verizon wireless your mobile number is not active or ....

i switched back to the prl on his thread. i wonder if he switched the prls from cricket to pageplus on accident? this sucks i been working all day got school soon and no help for my mom. ahh

So, the PRL isn't working for you, eh? The PRL for Page Plus is 51--- something -- Cricket is 42700.
Are you sure that your phone is unlocked? Are you sure you're reading from phone to get current settings before writing PRL, phone number, etc, back to the phone? (it should prompt you for your MSL -- which should now be 000000) Then make sure you fill out the data correctly. You should be able to get your MIN/MDN by asking for them from Page Plus. I openly told the rep on the phone I was trying to flash the phone myself and he gave me all of the information (and then a little bit more -- unfortunately, not the HA/AAA secret). I was actually originally using my Motorola Droid and asked them to try putting ONE OTHER phone on, to test it out (my Epic). Long story short, it did.
Page Plus uses Verizon's towers -- so it's OK if you're getting that. My phone apparently "roams" as well, but I have yet to have any issues. It's just what shows up.
I've heard that Cricket (prior carrier) can be configured to work 100% with the Samsung Epic for the $45 plan. When my month of minutes runs out, I'll try swapping back and seeing what all I can do... I learned a lot while working on this, so I think I have a little more expertise on this. Prior, I had never unlocked my device, so auto-activation never worked with Cricket! Eeek!
Anyway I will of course write something up about that.

cool. i will stick to sero truly duly unlim 4g wimax. anyways. roaming is normal? where did you get the prl? i am using an older prl i found online. i was getting the message you might be charged for roaming prior to each call.

I do not get that message for my PRL. If I remember correctly, PRL's are just how your phone knows which tower to connect to. I've heard they vary based on where you live. In any case, since PP offers nationwide coverage, I'm not thinking I'm roaming and no charges have shown on my phone yet.

yeah that's what i am guessing. i flashed different prl's and i still get the same message. can you please check to see if the prl wasn't switched or renamed incorrectly or better yet can you give me the source? prl's get updated and i have an older one. too bad my parents already left for new york i hope everything works out well for them

yeah its activated. i had your prl when i activated it and i was getting the roaming message per call. there was the roaming signal on the signal bar throughout. i switched the prl and it went away.

Newbie question. I have an unactivated sprint epic. I can't seem to get QPST to recognize the phone. The phone shows up as a modem in the device manager but QPST appears to see something connected but doesn't see the phone as modem. I've rebooted and switched USB ports as well. Any ideas on what could be wrong?

Reboot
Keep. Trying its a pain

Do you have the drivers for the Samsung Epic 4G installed for sure? What OS? May want to potentially try running as an Administrator, just in case (I don't have this issue, but I know some folks at MS have told me their hardware-heavy programs don't work when they aren't in Admin mode).
Make sure to uncheck the box in QPST about diagnostic/etc ports. Just enable all the ports you can in QPST Configuration and you should hopefully see it.
Are you absolutely sure it shows up as a Samsung Modem?

I am using XP. Under Device Manager -> Modems, it reads "Samsung Mobile Modem #2". I also installed the drivers from the Samsung support site. For ports, QPST reads "COM5-USB/QC Data Modem" in the "Add New Port" window with the box unchecked. In the "Ports" window it reads "No Phone" under the "Phone" column.

I took my Note 4 and a hammer into the garden today...........

I took my SM N910L Note 4 and a hammer into the garden today because no matter what I've tried
(and I've tried everything http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/im-bonkers-ill-pay-50-dollars-to-fix-t3169748)
I just can't get it to work. I put the Note 4 on the grass and I raised the hammer above my head - but I just couldn't do it....... it's not the money......it's the waste.............
So, I'm upping my offer. If you can tell me what to do to get my NOTE 4 receiving and sending DATA again (basically connecting to my carrier) I'll send you 100 dollars. The first person to to show/tell me something that allows me to make a skype call or receive even 1 email through my DATA connection gets the money. INSTANTLY!!!!!
Please read the thread above, all the info is in there except this. I have been trying to flash a different custom ROM in the hope that that will fix it but none of the ROMs I have downloaded will flash thru TWRP (even though I can backup and restore thru TWRP). I get an error message saying unable o open zip. Anyway, if anyone has any ideas please post.
A very big thank you again to all those who have tried to help me already.
I have a hundred dollars pinned on the wall in front of me .................. I'll be sooooooo happy to see it go !
P.S. I know that you are not helping me just for the money, I know you are helping just to help me out (and I have had so much help already), but I just want to make it worth your while too.

Is it the modem? Perhaps try installing the official docomo 4.4.4 rom for the note 4 via Odin. See if that fixes it?
I'm a noob but it's all I can think of. I hope it helps somewhat and if not then just return the phone?

I think it is the modem too, but I've re-installed 4.4.4 and 5.01 many many times. I flashed individual modems too. Nothing seems to sort it out. Can't return the phone - bought on Amazon from Korea, seller sucks, Amazon unhelpful, that's a dead end - I need to fix it.
Thanks anyway (I'm a noob too )

Might sound stupid, but have you tried a different SIM card?

load stock rom on it for the 910L with all stock CSC, do a complete reset, turn off carrier data in settings, select carrier network manually then turn on wifi carrier data bluetooth. make sure smart network switch is off. disconnect wifi and try it out.
and if that doesnt work ship me the phone instead of using a hammer on it lol.

Have you called your carrier to make sure it's not some sort of problem with how they have your account set up?

Yup I have 2 sim cards now with two different carriers and have spent hours and hours on the phone with them both trying to work out why it is not getting data. My only glimmer of hope is that although they are different carriers I have found out that they both use the same network (dohhh) so maybe it is specific to that network - DOCOMO.
thanks for your help.

OP, does Settings -> About Device -> Status show that Data is In Service?

If yes, you probably have some sort of APN issue with Docomo. If not, you may be boned.
IF YES:
Go to Settings -> More Networks -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names
Press the plus symbol on the top right, set the name to DOCOMO, set the APN to mopera.net, set the MCC to 440 and MNC to 10.
If this doesn't work, use 0120.mopera.ne.jp as your APN instead.
If that still doesn't work, have you tried a b-mobile SIM? I had this issue once when I was in Japan for some time - Docomo doesn't like people using unlocked, imported devices on their networks for some reason.

Yup, I think that it is about time. Hate doing it because Im sure it's a software issue, but I don't have any more avenues to go down now. But it will cost more than a hundred dollars though - I live in Japan, I'll be lucky if I get out of their spending less than 200 dollars. Still, let's see.

Talked to Samsung Japan today. They wont fix try to fix it even if I offer to pay - has to go back to Korea. The company I bought it from said it is user negligence, Amazon says it was working for 7 weeks so it is not there problem.
So, seems I'm left with a very pretty, extremely useful Samsung iPod. No phone though.........................

Seriously considering saying yes
At this point I'd consider human sacrifices, voodoo dolls, or crystals too.

Are you sure that SM 910L is your local Note 4 variant? There might be hardware differences in different variants that only accepts certain signal bandwidth for a specific carrier.

Nexus 6p no longer works on verizon after using with vodaphone sim card on a trip

Hi all,
My 6p that used to work great on verizon can now no longer make or receive voice calls, even though 4G data works!
I have been using my 6p on a verizon prepaid plan for months, and it has worked flawlessly. I popped a sim into an S4 to activate, then put the sim in the 6p, and everything worked great.
I recently went out of the US for a week. Verizon prepaid doesn't work at all in Europe, so I bought a tourist SIM with some data to be able to use my phone while traveling. Again, this worked great.
When I got home, I put my old verizon sim back in my 6p, expecting to go right back to where I left off. The problem is that can't make or receive any voice calls on the 6p. Whenever I try to make a call, I get a verizon message asking me to enter the 10-digit number again. Incoming calls are going right to voicemail. SMS works fine though, and 4G LTE works fine -- just no voice.
Verizon tech support is no help. They say that if I use the device on anything other than verizon's network, it has been flashed and will never work again fully on the verizon network, which is obviously BS.
I have tried putting the sim card back in an old S4, and voice calls work fine there, so I know it's something with the 6P.
Any ideas on a setting that I might need to change on the 6P to make it work again? The Vodaphone person took my phone for a second and may have made a change or two that I didn't see to the settings? :/
Any help is appreciated! I use this phone for work, and if I can't get this resolved soon then I guess I'll just have to switch to tmobile ASAP.

I'm on Verizon and Every time I use a project fi sim in my Nexus and then go back to the verizon sim...the verizon sim doesn't work any more. I have to get a new sim every time. I think it's just the way Verizon does sim card management on their phones.

Thats where your problems at. At the bottom mine says LTE/CDMA auto prl does yours say the same? If not you need to change it. If that doesn't help you can hit the 3 dot menu on the top right and click on band 6. It's possible your network band was changed. I had this problem after mistakenly changing mine to USA band.

I actually went to verizon and got a new sim and still no luck. Verizon is crazy. I'm about to just switch carriers.

On the three dot menu, weirdly I only have US, Cellular 800, PCS, and Class 10 (800mhz secondary), but no class 6.

It sounds to me like your radio bands were modified. You can try flashing your radio again in fast boot or install a custom ROM like chroma that has a lot of extra bands to choose from. A while back I saw a thread in this section where someone had made a zip you can flash for this same problem also.

I had a similar problem with Sprint. Text and data worked fine but no calls. Might be a CDMA related problem.
Mine was caused by me changing the band the "USA" in the phone info (*#*#4636#*#*) menu. I had no way of getting it back because whatever ROM I flashed I never had the "Auto" band option. The Vodafone guy may have changed your phone's banding to Europe and for some reason it's a pain to change it back. I ended up complaining to Google and they allowed me to RMA the device.
However, I saw this thread later which may help fix your problem. Flash the ROM from that thread and go to the info menu and click "Auto".
Good luck.
Edit: Found another thread here describing the same or similar problem and the above fix worked.

I started having the same problem today, with my wife's 6P and my daughters 5X, it turns out the HD Voice feature from Verizon was my problem, since that was the only thing I had modify before they lost phone call capabilities, I went back to the Verizon website and under "My Products and Apps" you are able to disable or remove that feature, I then rebooted each phone and they are able to make calls again. Hope this helps someone.

Sorry to bump an old thread... I've run into this exact same issue. I've tried the rom in the post above - had lots of errors of services stopping but eventually managed to set it to automatic... nothing helped. I tried another purenexus 6.0 rom and while that works better as far as rom goes, it still doesn't let me place voice data calls.
The only thing that halfway works is enabling HD voice - and VoLTE on the phone. This means I can make phones when and where I have LTE but still nothing over the normal cellular voice network.
Anyone find any way of fixing this?

Xfinity Mobile?

I'm seeing people having to jump through some hoops at Verizon to get incoming SMS/MMS up and running on the 6T, and I use Xfinity Mobile (don't judge me; it's half the price, but uses Verizon's network!). My fear is that Comcast customer service being the literal worst in the world, no one there is going to know what "CDMA-less" means. Furthermore, I don't expect them to be willing to help me given that BYOD is currently for iPhones only. That said, I'm using an Essential PH-1 with no issues, so I'm hopeful I can get the 6T working. My unlocked 8/128 is waiting for me to pick up after work, so I guess I'll find out tonight, but I wanted to see if anyone's given it a go yet with Xfinity.
I'll post an update after I try tonight. I'm not thrilled about the likelihood of the restocking fee, but I'm really excited about this phone, so I'm willing to take that shot...
EDIT:
As a test, I threw my Essential PH-1 into just LTE mode and was able to receive a text and a picture message, so it may be that Xfinity Mobile already operates on the CDMA-less protocol on Verizon's network.

Are you able to make a call on LTE only?

On the Essential PH-1? No. But I expected that. Everything works perfectly in Global mode with Advanced LTE turned on.
I only put it in LTE only mode to test the incoming SMS/MMS.

I'll be trying here with my XM sim shortly once FedEx delivers it

Yeah... No dice on Xfinity. On the phone right now trying to work up the chain and explain to them what I actually need. Up to Teir 3 now.

Tier 3 was actually pretty helpful, but I'm still not getting messages right now.. The feature that needs to be *removed* is called "Premium Message Block", apparently. I'm waiting on her to call me back to check in on me so we can move forward...

Please continue to update your progress and what, if anything, was able to get things working. I ordered my 6t as soon as I could after seeing that it had Verizon certification. However, I'm extremely disappointed that my 6t does not work with xfinity mobile. So frustrating for something that should work and doesn't. Are you able to get data to work? My data does not work. Right now I get incoming and outgoing phone calls (including VoLTE), outgoing texts, but no data and no text reception

She's going to do more research and get back to me. I'm just happy she's willing to help me out even though they don't do Android BYOD.
Data's working fine for me. The only issue I have is SMS/MMS incoming. And the only real issue I have with that is that I need that for 2FA. Right now, in order to get the phone set up, I put my SIM back in my Essential phone to get the codes. It's clunky, and in the process of that, I goofed up my settings in my Essential phone, so now I can't make calls on it. Again. lol So I've got one phone that does everything but get SMS/MMS, and one that does everything but make and receive phone calls. :sad trombone:

Well that's frustrating. I don't understand why my data doesn't work. Has all of your troubleshooting been over the phone with xfinity? Did you have to call a special number to get the level of support that you're receiving?

I started with chat, but that guy was completely clueless. I then called the normal support number, and Tier 1 pushed me straight to Tier 3 after I explained that I knew exactly what I needed. Alice (Tier 3) knew exactly what I was talking about as soon as I said CDMA-less, told me what they call it in their system, made the change, and told me she'd call back in a bit to make sure it worked. When it didn't, she said she needed to do some research, and she'd call me back. That they're not outright dismissing it as "No BYOD!" is promising, but I'm concerned that her fix didn't work when she had such high confidence.

Ok, one more question for tonight. Were you upfront with them about the fact that you're trying to get OnePlus 6t to work? Otherwise, I hope to see an update from you in the next day or so with a success story.

Yep. I started off with "I'm going to preface this with I know you don't support BYOD with unlocked Android phones, and that's exactly what I'm trying to do with a OnePlus 6T." lol She appreciated me being upfront and once I explained the backstory with this phone on the Verizon network and said I needed CDMA-less provisioning, she knew just what I was looking for.

I apparently fat fingered my address when I ordered so ill be picking it up tomorrow. Hopefully you get it working otherwise I may just return it if they cant fix it.

Still haven't heard anything back. I remembered that I had an old Google Voice number that I haven't used in forever, so I've switched my 2FA stuff over to that, and told the whole 3 people I still SMS with to message me using other apps, so I'm minimally effected at this point, but I'm not going to give up. Hoping that one of us can get this working, as the phone is perfect in every other aspect.

What model is your phone? Mine is 8GB/256. I went to the verizon BYOD site and entered my IMEI. It said my phone wasn't compatible. It seems that some IMEIs are compatible. I wonder if this is why my data isn't working. Or maybe it has nothing to do with it. Who knows?

8/128 here. I wouldn't trust that IMEI checker. Lots of people with phones that work get that same error there. It seems to be a crapshoot for accuracy.

I've been giving your data issue some thought, since you're the only person I've heard with it (I've been keeping up with the Verizon threads in case I find something that helps). Did you monkey around with the settings in Phone app using the dialer code? And You're set to 2G/3G/4G in the regular settings with Mobile data turned on?

I am set to 2G/3G/4G, but I did mess with the settings within the dialer app. I tried all of the different combos with no success.

Make sure in there you're set to TD-SCDMA/CDMA/UMTS. And that Mobile Radio Power and VoLTE Provisioned are both turned on.

I double checked that I left it that way when I was done messing with it. But still no data.
