Sprint Activation
By activation I am assuming you mean gain network access to the Sprint data system? It should have prompted you for activation data at boot. Try through settings to connect to the mobile network and that should reinitiate the activation process. Not sure if this helps...

Thanks for the reply. I meant I bought the Tab without a data plan and do not wish to. It keeps trying to activate but cant. I am looking for a way around it.

I've been grappling with this for a while now, and unfortunately, the activation process can only happen if you were to have service. You could, thanks to Sprint's 30 money back guarantee, buy a month of service, activate your device, and then cancel the service within a few days and you won't be charged. Of course, this invovles spending a whole lot of time on the phone with Sprint, or going into a Sprint store, which you may not want to do. Don't worry though, there is another option.
I decided I didn't want to go through any hassle, so I spent some time fooling around with the system and came up with the following method. It took me a while to in the application manager to track down the programs responsible for the activation prompt, but I found them. What you need to do is this:
NOTE: I have tested this on the SPRINT Tab with the latest software.
*DO NOT uninstall any of these apps, just "Freeze" them. If you delete any, you may loose the ability to do firmware and Android OS updates!*
1. Root your Tab, (preferably with z4root), I suggest using the "permanent root" option.
2. Go to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development -> and check "USB Debugging"
3. Install Titanium Backup
4. Run Titanium Backup and go into "Backup/Restore" Look for "Software Update 1.5.0" in the list.
5. Tap the application name.
6. On the window that comes up, select "Freeze" It will give you a confirmation of success and the "Freeze" button will change to "Defrost" now hit the back button.
7. Locate "Sprint Installer 2.0", "Sprint Zone SZ 2.1.11", and "System Updates 1.0.0" Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each of these applications.
8. Close Titanium Backup
9. Restart
Now the activation prompt will not come up and it won't interrupt you when using your Tab. It doesn't affect anything if you plan to use the Tab off-contract with Wifi only.
I chose to "Freeze" the apps because it denies them access to the system, which removes the activation problem. I didn't uninstall them, though because if you want to activate it on the network at any time later, or you need to do a Firmware/Android OS update through official channels, you may need these apps.
If you want to undo this at any time, follow the directions the same way, but during step 6 select "Defrost" instead of "Freeze"
I hope this helps.
Thanks
Works great! Thanks for the info.
It´s posible active the phone

Hi there, Do you think is´t posible to liberate the phone?
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Worked GREAT! Thanks!
... but I have a question regarding 2 of the items that are frozen now. like the Software Update 1.5.0 & System Updates 1.0.0 --- are they specific to sprint? what exactly are these for and why do these have to be frozen in order to disable the sprint activation? will i still be able to get firmware updates and all that jazz?
if i want to check for updates, do i need to defrost these?
How to get root app
maybe I'm missing something but how do you get the root app. I.e. to bypass activation you need a root application. However I can't find a way to download apps without the tab being activated. Seems like a paradox. In a nut shell how can I get the z4root application installed when the tab is not yet activated?
Thanks for any help
You can always turn on the WiFi, and connect it to an available network to gain access to the Market.
I too have been struggling with the activation prompt, and since Rooting is still somewhat touchy with our SPH-P100, I've found that the best answer is to put your Tab in Airplane mode, and manually turn on the WiFi. This will keep any options you're unsure of on the back burner 'til the devs here have some more time to save money for, and play with the Tab!

You can find z4root here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
I have a Sprint tab, and if you hit cancel on the activation each time you turn the device on, you can still access your home screen and all the apps and enable wifi to access the market.
To permanently bypass activation, side load & install the z4root app from the link above and install Titanum Backup from the market .. follow the instructions posted by rkmj earlier in this thread.

Sorry for taking so long to respond to this, but my XDA notification settings were all screwed up. I just realized that you asked this. Software Update 1.5.0 and System Updates seem to be Samsung apps that are tied directly to Sprint Zone and the activtion prompt. They run periodically and when they activate, they query Sprint Zone to see if the device has been activated on the network. In order to stop the activation prompt, these need to stop running.
I can't really tell about firmware updates just yet. Based on the way Sprint generally provides them, you will have the option of OTA or via PC. With this fix in place, you will need to run the update via the PC. If you wanted to get the firmware updates OTA, you will need to defrost the programs. Unfortunately, you will also have to activate the device.
My method doesn't change anything on the device. It just disables the prompt. In order to receive anything OTA, you will have to activate the device. I have a theory about how you can both disable the prompt and still query for OTA updates, but I have to do a bit of testing first. I will post back here once I have tested it completely.
Hey guys I'm new! Nice to meet all of you.... here are some things you can do to make this great rom even more functional on the r800x.
1. WIPE YOUR SYSTEM ENTIRELY... Data, Cache, Dalvik.. the works. Install KA12 first, followed by doomlord's wifi modules (I used the most recent test release for the 2.34 verizon upgrade and they worked like a charm.)
2. Let the system boot up.. you will most likely get some kind of error, or it may take you to the setup screen... either way, at this point, return to CWM, and wipe your dalvik cache. Next Install the CDMA patch 9 (I used the non-modded version)
3. Install google apps, and any other KA12 zips you desire to flash. When you are finished flashing, clear both cache and dalvik.
4. Now install KA13 over KA12 system meaning DO NOT DO THE FACTORY RESET.
5. You may want to reflash the wifi modules, I do not know if it is necessary, but I did it to to be safe.
6. Reboot the system, and complete set up.
7. Using root explorer, go navigate to the system apps directory, and find a phile called SEMCtelephonyservice.apk (or something very much like that).. make sure root explorer is set mounted to R/W and then simply click on this app, and open it with the APK handler or simply click install. It will tell you this app is already installed, and you are replacing it. Say ok. Now go and try your dialer. You should only get one force close after making a call now, and it should go away forever after this... No more phone force close yay!!
8. While your in system apps folder, go ahead and delete the USBconnectivtyux.apk (or something like that) ... don't worry.. this has no effect on USB connectivity at all, it still works fine... and guess what.. NO MORE FORCE CLOSE WHEN YOU CONNECT USB!
9. With your wifi connected, go to the play store and download a free app called APN manager... install it. Once you have opened it simply import the APN settings for verizon onto your phone, and reboot your phone. Once rebooted,(you can turn off wifi now) open up your mobile network settings, and make sure you have mobile network data enabled... I allowed national roaming, I'm not sure if you have to.. then click the APN settings... you should see Verizon in there now. Make sure to click that circle to turn on those APN settings.. This will get your sms/mms up and running.
10. Finally, to get my 3G icon to show up I had to redownload the SETDNS app... I got the pro version... and when I enabled google DNS, I immediately got a 3g icon in my status bar. The second time I ran through this, I did not immediately get a 3g status icon.. If this is the case for you, just simply toggle airplane mode after setting the DNS, and your 3g should eventually kick in. If you do not get a 3g icon, my understanding is that your data works even though you can't see it, however you will have trouble downloading apps.
Thanks dude.

Not necessarily... just don't update to KA13 if this worked for you on KA12.

hi,
I currently run FNB8 with OXA CSC, and I don't get LTE option under networks. My provider recently started providing LTE. How do I enable the option>
Thanks!
I've got exactly the same issue and couldn't work it out by myself. Maybe someone here would help us.
there are some models that missing LTE and there is A very easy way to fix this problem, Root the phone, download a file explorer, grant the app root access then go to data/property then delete the file persist.lteon.xml and reboot the phone

Is there any other way to enable LTE without rooting?
If you still have the phone warranty you can go to Samsung Center and replace your phone

Hello,
I am trying to find out if anyone has had the same problem, I flashed a new version of a rom and update, then installed a nandroid backup and seemingly everything came up- texts, recent calls etc. but after a while a I noticed two things were missing my voicemail app- Verizon and the 'Here and Now' from My Magazine. Does anyone know the version that is supopsed to be on the phone currently with KK? I found a visual voicemail app which only seems to be a plain Verizon voicemail app. When I click on the icon to launch it, it starts but hangs saying "Please wait while we check your account information" then after a couple of minutes it stops saying, "Sorry w'ere having trouble setting up your service. Please try again later. If you still can't set it up, contact customer service at 800-922-0204 and tell the operator the error code is 9009". Obviously, I don't want to be assisted by Verizon and then have them say "i see your phone is unlocked and we can't help you" Anyway, the version voicemail that I installed is 3.0.4 and it is 11.80 mb. I tried to find it on 'Root Explorer' but can't seem to find it but obviously it's there, I just don't know how to find it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Try using root explorer to push the app in instead of installing it. Copy voice-mail apk to your SD card. Then use root explorer to copy the apk to your system/app folder on your phone. Then long press the apk to bring up a menu, go to permissions. You will get a 3x3 pop-up box. First row check the first two boxes on the next two rows check only the first box. Reboot your phone and see if that clears it up.

Okay, qool
Just got my S7 and I'm on PE1...started on PF2, but had trouble rooting...not sure if it was because it was midnight when I started or I missed a few steps. The process went much better this morning.
Anyway, when I did ##DATA#, hit edit, typed in MSL, APN settings, APN2 LTE internet, my APN type was also grayed out. However, @Soooperstar sent me the hiddenmenu folder with the apk and odex. This may only work on Sprint ROMs and not the U version (feel free to try though).
Get a root explorer and go to system>app . Copy the hiddenmenu folder to someplace on your internal or external storage. Take the contents of the attached Zip and copy them into the system hidden folder. It should replace the old hiddenmenu.apk and oat folder. Permissions should be set correctly. If not, the hiddenmenu.apk and oat>arm64>hiddenmenu.odex should be rw-r-r . The directories should be drwxr-xr-x. But they should be fine if you copy and replace/merge.
Reboot phone
Go to phone app, and type ##DATA# (##3282#). hit Edit, type in MSL, APN settings, APN2 LTE internet, APN type....you should be able to now edit those and add the < ,dun >. You'll have to do it for both...APN2 LTE and APN2 EHRPD. Then go to settings>Hotspot and Tethering> and turn it on.
Someone test this method. 1 of 2 things caused my hotspot to work...I think it was this though. I just received my phone yesterday and it shipped with PE1 and my hotspot didn't work before this and asked me if I wanted a subscription.

Yeah, theory 2 does though. You can edit telephony.db with sqlite. That should work.

i tested both these methods. nope.
i first did the hiddenmenu.apk swap which looked like it just rewrote the APN's in the MSL section but they were still uneditable.
tried to change the apn in the Telephoney.db with sqlite editor and it looked like it changed but they system never saved the settings. still got the Hotspot subscription prompt.
i Tried the Bypass by activating the hotspot and connecting a device before it detects the hotspot is on But it never will stay on and always gives an error message. i did get it to stick once but there was no internet connection when it did.
it was rooted and have since unrooted the phone and deactivated it.
Have we made any progress here?
