Kinda new here and I've been searching Google for a good hour to no avail.
I have a Sprint HTC Hero with active service through Sprint that I'm looking to switch to a Page Plus phone number (just purchased a pre-activated Page Plus phone from a local gas station). Main goal is to get the Page Plus service working on the Hero with the Page Plus number as the number for it with text and calling functionality.
I've seen a couple threads where people have said that they flashed their CDMA Hero to a Page Plus ROM and have no problem using it. I cannot find a ROM anywhere that says it's strictly for Page Plus which is making me wonder: Can any ROM be used on Page Plus? And if so, does this mean I switch carriers (Sprint to Page Plus) using another method?
Any help or points into the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I know people often get flamed for "not searching before posting" but I would be eternally grateful for any help that any of you could provide me. Thanks!
Did you ever find an answer to this? I want to do the same thing.
Easiest way would be to go to page plus website and see if the phone can be ported over. If the phone is in a contract with Sprint still you probably wont get your number. I know you can get a locked verizon to page plus but i went through, mingo 1st.
From HowardForums concerning Sprint handsets to page plus:
* Sprint (and Sprint MVNO) handsets are by far, the most difficult. All handset are locked, The OTA activation is incompatible. The MMS system (Picture Mail) is incompatible. IMHO, these handsets are more or less for serious hackers only.

change to the spc code to 000000, then manually program the phone.

danknee, I assume that by changing the spc code that during this process you are changing the esn code to the page plus phone's eventually correct?
The reason I ask is I may want to try this eventually on the new Virgin Mobile Beyond Talk plan. If I could get my Hero on there I might just do that. Or once the Evo comes out use the Hero to try putting it on there for my son...
I put a Sprint Samsung Instinct on PP using CDMA workshop. I kind of stumbled though it though. Howardforums is a good resource. I recall having to charge the spc, but definitely not the esn. Also, I had to use CDMA workshop to push a Verizon prl unto the. phone. When registering it with PP, I entered I had some other Samsung branded phone(done online).
I was able to use it as a phone but data & picture mails were not.
Good luck.
Changing the spc is just so you can get the phone to update ota. Same step you rake when flashing to cricket. I've done lots of wm phones to cricket. Mms is by far the biggest pain in the ass. From what I understand people have flashed the hero to cricket with working internet, but apps that use the internet do not work. Also, no mms. You will probably be looking at a similar situation here.
Solution
This is in fact quite simple. I recently did it myself. Google Kitty Wireless, and there is a page for manual programming. Download the PRL from that page, put it on your SD card, and click the phone. Type in ##prl# (Im pretty sure this is right, if not google, update prl) and find the file and update the PRL. This will flash your phone and make it use Verizon towers instead of sprint ones. Now that the easy part is done, use Kitty Wireless' activate page, add your ESN, and your phone is on PagePlus, you need to finish though by finish programming your phone.
Now, install aLogCat, phone, ##data#, veiw mode. Go to aLogCat, hit menu, pause, and scroll up to find the MSL code. Now go back, and instead of hitting view mode, hit edit, and type in the MSL code. This will allow you to finish programming it. Now go onto that manual programming page at kitty wireless and finish what they tell you to do.
Any more questions, Ill check back later and try to help.
HTC Hero(sprint) on pageplus
Data is definitely not working. Its an overkill to use HTC hero on pageplus for txt and voice only. I think the refference to "Serious hacker" earlier means making custom baseband firmware. The changes need to accomodate inputting pageplus settings. Or I wonder if anyone tried to load verizon eris baseband firmware on sprint hero.
A few days ago, I have done for activating my Sprint HTC Hero to PagePlus. I ported my phone number, so I didn't change my phone number but my carrier has been changed.. lol.
I posted the instruction to do it. Here you are.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789751
Also, I got the information about how to make the phone working for data and MMS. I didn't try it because I don't need data. Wifi is around me mostly. If you need, tell me.
------------ I copied the instruction here ------------
I really appreciate you, TpyoKnig.
Now, FINALLY I activated my Sprint HTC Hero to PagePlus. I don't need to waste money for data plan (at least $30/mo). As TpyoKing helped me to activate it, let me post some information I have done for my Hero, in order to help those who want to activate Sprint HTC Hero to PagePlus. If you have any question, tell me. (I'm not a dealer for pageplus. so please don't give me any money.)
Here are what I've got. (I added my experience.)
1) thing you have to have is root for your phone, if you have that then great! Also you need to be running a NON-Froyo Rom (the froyo roms, I've tested thus far) are lacking EPST which will be used later to program the phone. --> My case, I installed NFX-Hero ROM. After I activated my phone to PagePlus, I'm running CM6 ROM. It works fine now.
2) Search the Market (Via WiFi) and download 'MSL reader'
3) Write down that MSL (will need it later)
4) reboot phone
5) download pageplus.prl from a web and put on root of SD card
6) on your phone pull up the dialer (hit the green button) and put in ##775# (##PRL#) and put in your MSL code you got earlier
7) select "update PRL", drop down "Folder" to "SD Card" and push down on your navigation ball and then long press the "menu" key to make your keyboard lower and select pageplus.prl then select "ok", then press your "menu" key and hit commit modification
8) phone will reboot (Congratulations you'r now on Verizon towers!)
9) Get PagePlus to activate phone (eg, contact a local dealer) , tell them you are manually programming a Sprint phone and give them the IMEI and that you need your MIN/MDN and SID. --> In my case, I purchased pageplus from Kittywireless.com. They promptly provide MIN/MDN and SID.
10) on your phone, pull up the dialer and dial ##YOUR6DIGITALMSL# , then select edit mode
11) change Mobile Directory Number (MDN=your new phone number from pageplus) to what is given to you by PP/dealer
12) change MSID to your MIN (Mobile Identification Number) as suplied by PP/Dealer
12) press menu
13) commit changes
I'm really happy.
It Does Work...
DATA and MMS do work I have a Hero on PagePlus and can do both. In fact I've also helped 3 others do that same .
http://www.bpcr.biz/buddy/Android.zip has instructions (not made by me) and APN backup and restore, and the correct APN file needed for PagePlus MMS. Also has instructions on howto get the data settings correct using QPST.
If you have any questions or need help when doing the process PM me or email me [email protected] and I'll contact you back ASAP
Thanks,
Buddy
Thanks guys, got the data working on pageplus using that tutorial.

No Problem . I made it easy . took me a while to get it all working.
Thanks for the helpful information. I'm having some problems getting my Alltel HTC Hero cdma on Page Plus. If you have time, can you take a look at the question I posted as a thread? It's titled "prl update for page plus on alltel htc hero cdma".
Thanks
i am attempting to change my HTC Hero (Sprint) to PagePlus...does the device has to be already activated with sprint in order to work. (it is currently deactivated no serivce)

no it doesn't that is not a requirement. just follow the directions that I've linked to: http://www.bpcr.biz/buddy/Android.zip
I have a few questions for everyone. I currently have about a year left on my sprint contract. I am willing to buy it out and switch to page plus, but I would like to save money on the phones. With sprint I have 2 HTC Heros. If I can get them to work that would save a bit of $$.
Question about procedure: In the directions (in zip file) it says they are for EVO, will it still work on Hero? Next question, in the directions it says "THIS TUTURAL IS ASSUMING THAT YOU ARE ALREADY BASIC FLASHED!". What does that mean? Is that the basic rom? My Hero is rooted and running CM6. My wife's Hero is stock sprint (1.5 I think).
Question about numbers (if you know...if not no biggie): I want to port my numbers from sprint to page plus.
Thanks in advance for any help!!!

There was supposed to be more to that: I want to port my numbers from sprint to page plus. Should I do the flashing to page plus procedure first, then call page plus and get them to activate it? Or is the flashing procedure something I do after I join page plus? All in all, I want to keep my phone numbers, they might be worth more to me than the phone

Basic flash is what I've already outlined, in the previous page, loading the PRL and inputting your MDN/MIN to the phone , the rest of the tutorial is for acquired the beloved 3g and yes it can work on ANY HTC device, Hero/Evo
HTC Hero Sprint to PagePlus instructions
Does anyone still have the conversion instructions for Sprint HTC Hero handy? I'm trying to convert my HTC Hero from Sprint to PagePlus but this link does not work any more.
Today I was going to install an XAP. I went to go install in and it said my phone was locked. So I figured Id just have to run ChevronWP7 and unlock it. But it wont unlock? Idk why it wouldnt cause I never had a problem with it before. I did some research and im super confused.
I read this, is it because i changed my phone identity that i cant unlock my phone anymore?
The majority of the failures to unlock your phone again is because you used a registry script that changed the HD2 to identify it as an HD7 and may have included registry entries that set PortalUrlProd and PortalUrlInt to 127.0.0.1 or a Null value and somehow your phone became relocked. Once it's set this way, no matter what you do to unlock the phone it won't work because the proper server to query is "developerservices.windowsphone.com" is not defined on the phone. ChevronWP7 works by hijacking and spoofing the address of developerservices.windowsphone.com to be your local computer and then responds appropriately over port HTTPS (443) to the phone.

I never thought it would be a problem, Ive used ChevronWP7 before to unlock my phone, Ive got WP7 all set up and working, along with Xbox Live and the Marketplace. But now im stumped. How do I get my phone to unlock.
I read this thread and i tried to do the methods but i cant because my phone wont unlock! Someone please help. I am so confused.
It wont unlock without editing the reg.....but,
I was having the same trouble yesterday, installed a new SD card and then tried to unlock for hours but wouldn't work,...
So I flashed the XBoxMod ROM, V1.03. The unlock is already done as well as the regedits to keep it unlocked when you sync with Zune. The ID is already changed, so you just flash, activate and fill your accounts out again. Easiest way.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944995
I have 1.03 flashed and the lock has suddenly this morning stopped working, have installed the chevron again, just wont unlock again...
without WP7 being unlocked its a pile of crap, why does it suddenly stop being unlocked, if I have to reflash everything, the rubbish thing about WP7 there is now way to back anything up.
Will someone come out with a better unlock than this unstable chevron

what is so good about side loading apps unless you are stealing them? There are not enough things out there to make it worth the effort.
errr HELLO....camera application that actually allows you to focus, ability to install a navigation package with voice feedback, ability to tweak to suit your needs via reg editor, side load homebrew applications that are not allowed on the strict Microsoft zune, change the search to something useful instead of the pathetic bing....etc...etc...
If you want to shout out and accuse me of steeling that's one thing, but make sure you get your facts correct before, just because your on a forum you think you can slag people of and slant them, an apology would be nice, calling me a pirate PAH! I work with application developers and know exactly the damage pirating can cause...

Hey there,
Did you manage to unlock your device? Good to see the guide is stil getting use
Method 2 will keep you unlocked, but to get it unlocked you have to kinda do something in between the two methods, if that makes any sense?
Ill explain. Turn on airplane mode on your device and connect it, making sure Zune is running on ur pc.
Goto your hosts file and edit it like it says in the guide, but just delete the entry. Save the host file.
Now in theroy, you should be able to run chevron to unlock your HD2, although it cant hurt to reinstall the chevron.cert to your device (i keep it in an attachment on my email just in case )
Let me know if you need anything more
And as for the last two posters, quite it please guys, no one is accusing anyone of anything, be happy

What entry am I deleting?
I cant even get ChevronWP7.exe to start now. It instantly says "Uh oh. Sorry, I'm having trouble communicating with the phone." when I try to run it. My phone is plugged in, zune is open, idk what the problem is. At least yesterday the program would open, then say Uh oh. when i tried to unlock it. What should I do?
Bump. I never got this problem solved.
run as admin and alternate between the normal version and the no limit sideloading version.
obviously make sure your device is on, and unlocked at the main tile screen and that zune is running, keep repeating my first point until it works
Dont know if it wil work for you guys but it works for me, alternating between the two versions and admin always being on usually does the trick, sometimes i have to restart my PC and phone, but usually persistance will get it unlocked again.

DURING THIS PROCESS I WAS USING WIN VISTA HP 32 BITS issues with drivers signatures on 64 builds.
Required software and Tools
QPST build 2.15 no exceptions
CDMAWORKSHOP 3.5 or above-please use paid version to support developers. If you don’t have the funds and or are cheap there is a cracked version floating around the web.
BOOSTMOBILE INCOGNITO- not really true any phone capable of receiving 3g signals and that you are able to read items 465,466,1192,1194 will work fine as long as the device is already in service with the network of your choice. However this one is intended on the boost/the now network prepaid bootlegged network.
Incognito win vista 32 drivers
Samsung Fascinate Drivers
STEPS FOR THE INCOGNITO DATA EXTRACTION ETC.
--1—after you have successfully installed the Incognito drivers please connect the phone. Launch CWS and connect to the dial port. Read the phone and head to the Security tab.
Click on SPC/lock and pull the curtain and select Universal Ram once done search for incognito. Send the spc once is retrieve and read and save NAM to a folder of your choice. Name it whatever you want, next head to other tab and read PRL and also save it to same folder. *found out the phone will work better with the PRL the incognito was working with. Don’t write anything from sprint may dropped your signal. I know is weird does not makes sense but feel free to explore.
Because of sprint prl it would override my data info and had to restart the process again. My experience. Now access the Memory tab under NV items and read the following numbers 465,466,1192,1194 each one individually. Your beginning address is the same as your end address for example: starting 465-465 do not do 0465-0465. Won’t work and may brick your fascinate once you write, repeat the process for each one and save with whatever name, preferably as the number item you are using. *very important* now we want to manually copy down your user id. On the phone dial ##3282# it will bring you to a menu insert your spc and access user name. please copy exactly.
Turn off your incognito and put it away. Take the battery out you don’t want someone else turning it on by accident. It will scramble your data settings on the fascinate.
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO A FACTORY RESET ON THE FASCINATE. We don’t want any bits of information from a previous setting creating conflict with the new data.
At this point your Samsung Fascinate have acquired a new Dec number that was done that you don’t know, want to know or talk about. Main point is that you did not do it.
After reset phone will want to be activated. To bypass please dial *#83786633 and the Home Key
Now you want to enable the hidden menu. *#22745927 it will take you to a screen and select enable hidden menu.
DIAL ##3282# or **3282 or ##3282 which ever works for you send spc and change the user id on the phone to the one that you wrote down earlier. REBOOT
Depending on the rom you are using the DIAG option is under WIRELESS & NETWORK please select it and now your pc will be installing the required drivers if you have not installed them before.
Launch CWS and select port, read info and head to Security Tab. You must send the 16 digit password in order for all data to write correctly. If you don’t know this number here it is 2010031619780721. By default the password is 000000 but it will not work until you have enable hidden menu. Lets continue.
Once you have sent the spc please access the NAM and load the one you previously saved from the incognito, and click write.
Now do the same thing for the PRL on the Other tab. Exit cws and reboot, after reboots reconnect send 16 digits, you could do the 000000 but for some reason I feel that it does not writes everything correctly.
Head to the NV items section and Hit Write, it may say that you may needs spc first just click yes and load the 1st nv item starting with 465 from the file you saved them earlier in an ascending pattern. One all 4 items have been written exit cws and wait for it to reboot. Disable DIAG MODE. After the phone has finish loading the sd card etc if the 3g signal does not start after 10-15 seconds the following applies. Most likely you will need the next step.
Launch QPST 2.15 if you do not have cws you need to install QPST 2.7.323 due to the fact that under 2.15 the fascinate will appear under W5-FFA6250-T with limited tabs and NAM and MIP is not available.
Once online with QPST 2.15 we need to figure out the PPP config tab. Read the info on the phone and replace with the following data. This is what works with me whether on boost or Sprint alone
The following are horizontally just follow the name on each section,
-RM- ppp parameters
Config tries—Request timeout—Config NAK tries—Terminate tries—Request Time out—Comp settings—PPP Auth
20 1000 3 2 3000 5 3000
20 1000 3 3 1000 Disable
20 1000 3 3 1000 Ignored
User id do not high light it uncheck required pw Under PPP only click it but not check
-UM- same as above follow pattern
User ID this is funny and it should not work but it does. [email protected]
All lower case please.
Make sure that all is lower case. Also the password just click the box don’t check it leave it blank
Optimized Dormant Handoff box Checked do not click the 1xEVDO
-AN-
Userid
[email protected]@hcm.sprintpcs.com
Hit first save the Qpst file and write.
The phone will reboot but do not disconnect it until it has completely loaded all options. Disable Diag mode and with in 10 to 15 seconds you should have 3g. I was able to obtain 800-1350 kbs with speedtest.net
Note if you have another phone and want the data from the other phone the AN user id has to be same one that you program the very first time. Yes I know it does not make sense. But it does works. I hope this works for me as it has for me. It works for me and have reprogram various.
Any new news on this. Have a friend interested in this.

Won’t work and may brick your fascinate once you write, repeat the process for each one and save with whatever name, preferably as the number item you are using. *very important* now we want to manually copy down your user id. On the phone dial ##3282# it will bring you to a menu insert your spc and access user name. please copy exactly.
Turn off your incognito and put it away. Take the battery out you don’t want someone else turning it on by accident. It will scramble your data settings on the fascinate.
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO A FACTORY RESET ON THE FASCINATE. We don’t want any bits of information from a previous setting creating conflict with the new data.
At this point your Samsung Fascinate have acquired a new Dec number that was done that you don’t know, want to know or talk about. Main point is that you did not do it.
After reset phone will want to be activated. To bypass please dial *#83786633 and the Home Key
Now you want to enable the hidden menu. *#22745927 it will take you to a screen and select enable hidden menu.
DIAL ##3282# or **3282 or ##3282 which ever works for you send spc and change the user id on the phone to the one that you wrote down earlier. REBOOT
Depending on the rom you are using the DIAG option is under WIRELESS & NETWORK please select it and now your pc will be installing the required drivers if you have not installed them before.
Launch CWS and select port, read info and head to Security Tab. You must send the 16 digit password in order for all data to write correctly. If you don’t know this number here it is 2010031619780721. By default the password is 000000 but it will not work until you have enable hidden menu. Lets continue.
Once you have sent the spc please access the NAM and load the one you previously saved from the incognito, and click write.
Now do the same thing for the PRL on the Other tab. Exit cws and reboot, after reboots reconnect send 16 digits, you could do the 000000 but for some reason I feel that it does not writes everything correctly.
Head to the NV items section and Hit Write, it may say that you may needs spc first just click yes and load the 1st nv item starting with 465 from the file you saved them earlier in an ascending pattern. One all 4 items have been written exit cws and wait for it to reboot. Disable DIAG MODE. After the phone has finish loading the sd card etc if the 3g signal does not start after 10-15 seconds the following applies. Most likely you will need the next step.
Launch QPST 2.15 if you do not have cws you need to install QPST 3.11.323 due to the fact that under 2.15 the fascinate will appear under W5-FFA6250-T with limited tabs and NAM and MIP is not available.
Once online with QPST 2.15 we need to figure out the PPP config tab. Read the info on the phone and replace with the following data. This is what works with me whether on boost or Sprint alone
The following are horizontally just follow the name on each section,
-RM- ppp parameters
Config tries—Request timeout—Config NAK tries—Terminate tries—Request Time out—Comp settings—PPP Auth
20 1000 3 2 3000 5 3000
20 1000 3 3 1000 Disable
20 1000 3 3 1000 Ignored
User id do not high light it uncheck required pw Under PPP only click it but not check
-UM- same as above follow pattern
User ID this is funny and it should not work but it does. [email protected]
All lower case please.
Make sure that all is lower case. Also the password just click the box don’t check it leave it blank
Optimized Dormant Handoff box Checked do not click the 1xEVDO
-AN-
Userid
[email protected]@hcm.sprintpcs.com
Hit first save the Qpst file and write.
The phone will reboot but do not disconnect it until it has completely loaded all options. Disable Diag mode and with in 10 to 15 seconds you should have 3g. I was able to obtain 800-1350 kbs with speedtest.net
Note if you have another phone and want the data from the other phone the AN user id has to be same one that you program the very first time. Yes I know it does not make sense. But it does works. I hope this works for me as it has for me. It works for me and have reprogram various.

You need to be using a 2.1 rom with dial up networking mode or use 2.2 with the settings mod for it to be able to be read by QPST. and you need TWO versions of QPST for the settings to stick on the fascinate. after you've cloned the incognito make sure u turn that **** OFF!!! forever... just break that **** forreal because if not it will mess up the data settings (or get u in trouble for cloning since its "illegal"). This works the same as flashing to Cricket, as i know because i've flashed both of mine to cricket the month after we switched from t-mobile because of those two bs 200 dollar phone bills (now 113 for two lines). we dont use that much mobile data right now because we have WiFi at home.
My friend did this on his epic and it works flawlessly. I was actually gonna sell my fassy for 200 (i can get a new one from this store right around the corner to flash for 200). So if anyone wants a fascinate, i'll sell them it for 200, so i can get a epic on boost, and 35 a month with shrinkage plan =O
Really, you should look on the flashing the fascinate to cricket thread its much less jumbled. just take the incognito settings plug them in to qpst in the fascinate (exactly) and then the data "should" work. thats what he did lol... i was there the last 30 minutes before he got it actually working. PM me and i can put u on with him if you need help.
Wait a second, so I can take a boost phone and run it on the vzw network? Data and all? For pennies on the dollar?

Nick were you able to make it work? it should work mostly in any rom. better on 2.2 faster 3g. I clocked that phone at 1450 kbps. My little brother has it now. no problems at all. let me know if you need help
NO not on the VZW but on boost or cricket or any other company.

you will get that but the 1x signal which is bull****, I am running this thing faster than the evo on Sprint 3g mode, we are actually talking about true 3g not your typical 400-800 kbps bs. cricket is different and much easier, cricket oass cricket etc bs, so simple even a cave man can do it. lol....
Is this usable on GB? I think cm7 breaks data ...
Have you tested on a GB rom?

I hate to revive a dead thread, but can this guide be used to flash a fascinate onto sprint as well? For educational and recreational purposes of course.
It should same steps.

nice quide , it was really helpful , i have the fascinate working with 1x speed on boos which is suprisingly fast , i cant get mms to work though , any ideas .
I have 2 fascinates over on boost, I have not tested out the mms at all but I have full 1x and 3G speeds. if you dig around for boost mms on other phones for you will find things like
`` Dial ##3282#, edit and enter your epic’s spc, scroll down and on change the MMSC URL to “mm.myboostmobile.com” ``
and
``
MMSC: http://mm.myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com
MMS proxy: I left mine blank
MMS Port: 80
``
I used the later settings, but as I said, I have not tested my mms yet..
I have talk and text working fine,and I have the 3 g Icon but no internet .........can some one. please me

I know with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, you have a regional carrier menu which can be accessed using a key sequence on the dial pad. When accessed, a list will be displayed showing all the carriers which the phone supports using their 3 digit abbreviation. When you select a specific carrier and click reboot, the device will do a factory reset using the specific carrier settings you selected. I know the S4 will have the same regional menu but I'm curious as to whether or not I can access this through a dial pad sequence and if so, what the sequence would be.
Thanks in advance for any help which could be provided!
RESOLVED
Unlike the Note 3, the CSC (Consumer Software Customization) otherwise known as the Regional Carrier menu is a hidden menu within the Samsung Device model lineup. This menu will show a listing of scripts in the phone, depicted by a 3 letter code and specific to the carriers which can be preloaded on your device. If your device is unlocked and you wish to use it with one of the specified carriers, you can insert your carrier specific SIM, access this menu and "INSTALL" the specific configured script for that carrier. The question is always asked... "What is the benefit?".
Answer: With smartphones, they are mini computers and not just your typical "telephone". As such, you have multiple settings which vary among carriers. As such, by configuring your device to be carrier specific, it will modify specific settings which are proprietary to that specific carrier. As an example, it will modify the APN details, update your network settings to reflect access to specific modems such as 3G, 4G, HSPA+ and LTE and will also brand the device with specific apps which have been preloaded and configured for that specific carrier such as a "My Account" app. These are just some of the things to name a few which implementation of the proper CSC settings will provide.
Samsung realized that tech savvy people have figured out how to access these menus and this has resulted in fixes implemented in OTA updates to hinder people from being able to do this. As such, you cannot use the typical dialpad entry to gain access to the menu but do have the ability through ROOTING your device. Unfortunately, a ROOT will most likely "void" your warranty so it's at the discretion of the "end user" whether or not the warranty is important.
Thank you to all who assisted and happy trails!

What has been resolved?.I understand what you were after as in your 1st post; but your 2nd post indicates you can get the dialler menu if you are rooted.
Since I am rooted......care to tell me the code for me to test then?.
It doesnt matter if you cant, as when I insert a sim, a box normally opens up for me to select which network I want, which then triggers inbuilt settings (apn etc)......and the phone works.
Many people do not wish to "root" their device thus "voiding" the warranty. As an alternative, they can unlock their device and dependent on their OS, they can access the "CSC Menu" through *#272*[IMEI]# Should their "new" carrier be in the default list of supporting scripts installed on the phone by the manufacturer, they can install the script which will "brand" the phone to the new carrier/SIM complete with all the required settings for that carrier. Doing this will BRAND their phone to the new carrier settings without having to root and install a carrier specific ROM etc...
Is this beneficial for you specifically? Absolutely not as you have rooted your device but many on here looking for information find threads which talk partially about something and then you see a posts claiming it's been resolved with no further detail. If I solve something on my own and feel it would benefit some, not all, I may as well post my findings so if someone encounters the same problem, they can access a thread which provides a solution instead of simply saying "FIXED".
You said it best by "It doesnt matter if you cant, as when I insert a sim"... Yes, when you insert a SIM on your rooted device you have access to everything you need. That does not help someone whom does not wish to "root" their device. Maybe I'm reading into matters too much but you seem upset about my posts That being said, ignore them. I'm not bolstering my post count but if I resolve something, I may as well post it since I cannot officially delete my thread but only "edit" it. By posting it's resolved and providing details as to how, this will alleviate someone wasting their time by providing an answer while helping those who may possibly encounter the same situation.
Cheers!

No.You state in post 2 that you can acess the menu if I am rooted.....so explain how its done since I am rooted.
Also the box that opens up happens when a sim is inserted on all the unrooted samsung phones Ive had, which then triggers carrier settings etc.
So to recap, you did not answer how to get into that menu, and I cant even see how anyone would need to anyhow.
That is all
You are reading way too much into the post and it's asinine. I asked a question, received some feedback via PM and resolved my issue. As quoted from my "Post #2": "As such, you cannot use the typical dialpad entry to gain access to the menu but do have the ability through ROOTING your device." -- I am simply indicating the dial pad entry cannot be used unless you have original firmware which has not been updated. If updated, you can ROOT which allows you to brand your device using alternative methods. Reading way too much into everything...
ROOTING = You can customize your device using many methods and as per your post: "I cant even see how anyone would need to anyhow" is correct for those who are rooting.
*#272*[IMEI]# = You can customize your device to a specific carrier should that carrier be listed in the pre-installed scripts. Your device must be unlocked but this method will not void your warranty by installing a carrier ROM already pre-configured on the device.
I may also add that you're correct! If unlocking a device and not rooting, once you input a non-carrier SIM, you will be prompted for a code but the settings do not always change. Sometimes APN settings are incorrect and there is manual editing required. The suggestion I made regarding the CSC menu will allow you to configure the device to the new carrier ROM without rooting. This will also "customize" the device to that specific carrier so unlike simply features such as APN etc... being changed, you will also have pre-defined apps installed specific to that carrier such as "My Account" and other specific apps you would not obtain by simply unlocking.
I'll make it clear that you ARE RIGHT! Let's leave it at that but for those who do not read so deep into my posts, I find many of them have been helpful as have yours otherwise we would not have received the thanks we have.
Have a great one!

I've tested this with both Cricket and AT&T on my Lumia 1520 and it's working great. I'm assuming it will work with other carriers and phones but would need to be tested. It requires registry editing capabilities. I used the CustomPFD registry editor with it running as the Preview for Developers app. (note: I had to use this method to get registry write access)
Basically you just have to set the following registry keys. For carriers like Cricket that completely blocks tethering you'll need the ICSSVC & system settings but for others like AT&T that allow it but only on certain plans you'll only need the ICSSVC settings.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Services\ICSSVC\Settings]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"EntitlementRequired"=dword:00000000

Note: dword:000000b0 is integer 176. Also, if you change sims this will get reset and will need to be redone. I've seen vague references to some of this info but never a good writeup so hopefully this helps other people.
Hello! I have a Lumia 630 with WP8.1 Update 1 (latest available from the Previews for Developers). I'm on Crickets network and would love to enable the tether option.
Can you elaborate step by step what I need to do? I have Developer Unlocked my phone already. And I'm assuming I will need to use a computer to export the XAPs?
Thanks
Ok, so I deployed the CustomWPSystem app. I've got as far as trying to patch the target app but no matter which of the target apps I try and patch, the tool crashes to the home screen. However, the target apps still open and function as normal. This makes me think it's not even trying to patch them.
Any ideas?

The same thing happens on my phone, hence the alternate more manual method linked in the OP. I used this app to unlock the wpsystem folder so I can copy the files and whatnot.

I've installed the Windows 10 Technical Preview and for some reason I can't unlock the WPSystem folder. When I click Phone after Add Provider in Pocket File Manager I get a black screen. This actually happens anytime I choose Phone as a location in any app. I think it's MS blocking out any possible access to the system files during the beta stages..

nothign for users without an SD card. The insider app is fixed too so you cant do it through any of the fiddler methods too. I think someone is working on a way to bypass that. Lets hope it works or else wait till next month
Just tried this. No dice - the Internet Sharing setting says there's no data connection available to share.
I have an ATIV S Neo that was fully interop unlocked and is running Microsoft dev preview updates since GDR3, and I've updated to the latest 8.1 update available through Preview for Developers.
The SecureItems DWORD value was different (54), and I successfully set it to 176 using SamWP8 Tools. I also changed the EntitlementRequired value from 1 to 0 and rebooted. All other values in the OP were already the same on my phone. What am I missing?

I feel like it might be an APN thing, but what do I know.
If Sprint would let me tether for free, I would do it. I only use it in emergencies - it's not like I'm streaming Netflix in HD on my computer from my phone or anything.

It most likely is an APN things. Something with TetheringNAIConnection, see below from MS web page:
"TetheringNAIConnection
Optional. Specifies the CDMA TetheringNAI Connection Manager cellular connection that internet sharing will use as a public connection.
If a CDMA mobile operator requires using a Tethering NAI during internet sharing, they must configure a TetheringNAI connection and then specify the connection in this node.
Specified connections will be mapped, by policy, to the internet sharing service. All attempts to enumerate Connection Manager connections for the internet sharing service will return only the mapped connections.
Note: The mapping policy will also include the connections specified in the DedicatedConnections as well.
If the specified connections do not exist, internet sharing will not start because it will not have any cellular connections available to share
Additional requirements for CDMA networks:
For CDMA networks that use a separate Network Access Identity (NAI) for internet sharing, the Connections parameter TetheringNAI is used. The following sample demonstrates how to specify the connection"
Sprint & Tethering
I switched to Sprint almost 5 years ago when the HTC Arrive came out. I called up sprint and they said they don't offer tethering for that device. XDA came out with a custom rom that had it so I flashed and was tethering like normal. In December they cut off peer to peer stuff (which is fine with me) Then In February they sent me a nasty letter saying I was tethering and using too much data (on my unlimited data plan) In June they cut me off. So all I can say is Sprint is getting serious about not allowing tethering. Mind you my phone was 3g so..... they just dont like anyone tethering without paying for it.
Worked perfectly on my Lumia 1520 on the H2O network. Only had to change the entitlement reg key.
Didn't work for me on my 830 on Cricket. I can enable the connection settings and connect from my laptop (gets an IP and everything), but I can't connect to anything online (limited network connectivity). Any suggestions?
Nevermind, it was just my Hyper-V client IP settings. Working great now, thanks!

Note: dword:000000b0 is integer 176. Also, if you change sims this will get reset and will need to be redone. I've seen vague references to some of this info but never a good writeup so hopefully this helps other people.

I just did a lumia 630 on cricket the other day for my buddy.
It didn't go the first time so I reset the phone and boom it worked the second time

Got it working..... there are extra backslashes in the paths that I had to remove..... the WPTweaker app can do the edits for you but you have to remove the extra backslashes.....
@su8z3ro, you mean these values?
Code:
<entry path="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Settings\{1DEF9B7D-2322-40eb-A007-16A75D5CDA6F}" name="QuickSettingsTitle" type="string">
<value>@\\windows\\system32\\Settings3Res.dll,-535</value>
</entry>
<entry path="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Settings\{1DEF9B7D-2322-40eb-A007-16A75D5CDA6F}" name="Title" type="string">
<value>@\\windows\\system32\\Settings3Res.dll,-242</value>
</entry>
[UPDATE] just tested this tweak and confirm - you've right. Updated tweak.xml committed to the github.
