Hello Everyone,
I've been tempted to purchase a Droid 4 but I'm currently on the Page plus Network. I've seen many tutorials for flashing 4G LTE phones on to page plus but I didn't really see a tutorial for the Droid 4. I was wondering since the D4 is similar to the RAZR/BIONIC, if I can just follow those tutorials. I really want to use the D4 and would appreciate it if someone were to help guide me through the flashing process.
Thanks A lot,
jeanr464.

So I received my droid 4 and unfortunatly it was shipped with ICS. So following a lot of the common RAZR/BIONIC tutorials didn't really work out well for me. I saw a lot of people also having trouble trying to get the Droid 4 to work properly on PP with ICS. So I just wanted to say I followed the following steps on this following tutorial and it worked our flawlessly and I was able to get my phone working on talk/text 1X data.
howardforums. com/showthread. php/ 1774610-Droid-BIONIC-ICS-manual-activation-talk-text-mms-3g-all-working
Now my only challenge is getting 3G Data. For every razr/bionic tutorial I saw they went to the Phone info (*#*#4636#*#*) to try to set the radio test settings to get 3G/EVDO. For some reason on my Droid 4 when I enter this it simply disappears on the dialer and nothing happens. Does anyone know how to get 3G working on the Droid 4. So far all I did was disable all the LTE APNs, Enviroment, lte bbpanic disable, and change the sim type to 3g test uicc.
Can anyone help me out with this?

OKAY! After hours of playing with my Droid 4 on ICS on the Page Plus Network, I finally got 3G to work!!!!
First off, I realized the *#*#4636#*#* aka the INFO code wasn't working on the Droid 4 model because it doesn't exist in the firmware. Instead going through the program menu (##PROGRAM) I was able to access the test mode there and change options.
From my D4 ICS experience, to get 3G instead of 1X I had to
1. Access the Program Menu from the dialer ##PROGRAM aka ##7764726
2. Enter the SPC (000000)
3.Scroll Down to LTE TEST SETTINGS
4. Click SIM TYPE and then Choose 3G Test UICC then click Apply
5. Scroll down to LTE bppanic and select disable then click Apply
6.Then Scroll down and Click (Disable Class 1 APN, Disable Class 2 APN, Disable Class 3 APN)
7. Then choose LTE Movement detection and select Disable.
8. Click back twice the phone will restart.
At This point according to tutorials you should have 3G but if you're like me and unlucky didn't have 3G then do this.
1. Go to the dialer
2. Enter ##PROGRAM aka ##7764726
3. Then enter SPC (000000)
4. Then click Test Mode
5. Click Next and then click next again then you should be on the field test Screen
6. HDR hybrid mode should be (ON)
7.EVDO revision should be (A)
8. CDMA RX Diversity should be (OFF)
9. HDR RX Diversity should be (OFF)
10. Finally look up to where it says Network Mode
11. Change it to EVDO only and Check the top where your signal bars on. Give it a minute, it should pop and say 3G. If it says 3G and you can proceed to the final step and change the network selection to CDMA and EVDO and then back out of the menu.
12. There you go! You should have 3G on the Droid 4 now in ICS running on Pageplus.
In Gingerbread it was a whole lot more simpler. I hope this solution will help people running ICS.

By the way. My 4G lte sim card was in my phone the whole time. I don't know if it makes a difference but from the moment I got the the D4 and started flashing I left my D4 LTE sim inside my phone.

Hi Jeanr464. Does the 3G survive a reboot? The link to the howard forums tutorial in post #3 seems to indicate you need to;

Hey devinpatterson!
I can't tell you how many times I rebooted my phone or my phone died and has to turn on. The 3G does stick after reboot and the activatiion doesn't come back. I guess once the phone is succesfully activated the screen doesn't come back. Once you configure your phone settings to get 3G just leave those settings alone. I can confirm on. The droid 4 that it sticks after reboot.
Although, I can tell you if you remove the sim then the phone acts crazy with activation and all that jazz. While I was experimenting for hours getting 3G on the phone I saw some places that you have to remove the sim. So I did. And then activation and emergency calls and everything popped back on,until I put the sim back and reboot the phone.
According to all the tutorials I saw and my experience as long as you use a blank lte sim and successfully activate the phone (manually/*228 etc) the phone sim is programmed to work with your phone and removing or putting another sim with cause activation and data settings to trigger again.
Hope this explaination helps! Best of luck,

Hi jeanr464. Thank you for all of this brilliant info about the Droid 4 with ICS. I'm a newbie also wanting to set up my new Droid 4 with PagePlus and wondering, does Snoop's step of dialing *22800 for activation work on this phone? If not, is manual activation something different, and if so, how do you manually activate? And in general, do all of Snoop's steps work except for dialing *#*#4636#*#* work for this phone?
Thanks in advance,

Hey tubaman101,
To answer your question, manual activation is basically manually programming the phone and doing all the steps that *228 would have done. From my droid 4 experience getting on to pageplus, *228 didn't work right off the bat because of sim restrictions or some type of error. What you have to do is manually program the phone first with the correct settings to make basic features works then you'll be able to dial *228 where it will correct everything and fix everything to work like data and roaming etc. According to Snoops tutorial, basically what the manual programming is is the step where he enters ##7764726 aka ##PROGRAM and fixes the min and the mdn and settings the cdma only option. From there you have manually programed the phone. Then after setting those options when you try *228 it should work and then *228 will correct and program automatically all the phone options which then you should have perfect talk text and 1x. To get 3G just follow my steps above on how I did it.
To make it all simple(I'm going to summarize snoop' method) once you get the D4 and a blank sim, insert sim, enter bptools (tutorial shows how), set the phone to nvonly and evdo rev a with cdma workshop, dfs tool or qpst (tutorial shows how to) then from there enter ##PROGRAM in the dialer manually program your phone min and mdn (if you don't know what it is you can request PP customer service or PM me to help you get it, and set your phone to cdma only mode (tutorial explains how) and afterwards *228 and your set.
After to get 3G follow my steps.
It was very troublesome for me at first because I had no clue how to do this but I've done 4 droid 4s and a razr with this method so far so I've became slight savvy with it. If you have ANY trouble just list it here or PM me and I'll be more than happy to help out.
Good luck,
jeanr464

Hi jeanr464. I sent you a PM about if it is necessary to load a PagePlus prl file during the process, but I have a couple more questions.
I started with the steps you outlined using DFS. I don't think the nvonly and evdo rev a settings stuck because I got some sort of error message in the DFS Tools log, and I was not able to complete the next step of dialing ##program.
I'm wondering if it is because my sim isn't blank. I bought my Droid 4 on eBay new. (It was actually a warranty replacement phone that had never been opened or used.) It came with a new Verizon 4G sim card on top of the box. I wonder if this card was "assigned" to the previous owner, and so perhaps isn't blank.
Do you think I need to buy a new "blank" sim card? …and if so, do you have any recommendations as to where to get one?
Also, I was wondering if the port I chose in the CDMA tools was the right one. I chose "COM 6" in the attached picture. Was that correct?
(In case it matters, I'm doing this in Windows 7 on a partition created on my Mac computer.)
Thanks again!

Okay, I don't think the sim card would be that much of a problem, but if the problem persists after trying the next steps then you can get a new one off ebay for 5 dollars like I did. In any case, you did choose the correct port in DFS tools. You brought up a very good point that I forgot to mention. You do need to load a pageplus prl. The one I used during the process was the 51720 EVDO prl. Once you find that one "google will be a great help", open up DFS tools and then make sure after you load up the program and select the port you enter the SPC 000000, its on the top right corner of DFS I believe ( I used Cdma ws). After that overwrite the PRL using the program and then make sure you set nvonly on nam 1 and nam 2 and set evda a. If you keep on getting errors with DFS tool let me know. In this case we might have to figure something else. In any case if you are successful, then once you trestart the phone you should if you hadn't already, bypass the activation or welcome screen, if you don't know how to do that let me know but if you are already on the regular screen with the apps and everything then proceed to the dialer and press ##program and follow the rest of snoops guide and you should be fine.
Honestly, the hardest part of this whole process is the programming on PC. After that you should be fine. As far as windows 7 is concerned, I used windows 7 and I was fine.
Enter the Phone in BPtools
Connect to PC
Go to system settings and make sure you got the diag port com #
Open DFS
Select the com # and read
Send SPC 000000
Load PRL 51720EVDO
Write it to the phone
Change nam 1 and nam 2 to NVONLY instead of RUIM
change data to EVDO REV A.
make sure all settings are written and restart phone
If you are at the welcome screen bypass it (four corners unlock) if the phone is at the regular menu with the apps then go straight to dailer and ##PROGRAM
Change MDN and MIN
enter test mode and click next until you see the options to change the phone network to CDMA only
click back twice and the phone should restart
at this point you should have somewhat some type of service but then press *228
It might reject it the first time but try again and the activation screen will come up and the music will play and activate your phone
After that look above to figure out 3G
If you still have trouble PM me and we'll see what we can do.

Forgot to mention one thing, after you program the phone on DFS tool you should switch the esn from PP from your other phone. Your MEID is the IMEI without the last digit so you should have 14 characters in total. Once you switch the esn or set a new activation from PP then proceed to the step with the ##program etc.

Jean I think I followed all the instructions on here but it still says fail to connect NAM after I put in the MIN and MDN so I can never I finish programing my droid 4 to Page plus. Can you please help me.
Warning Droid 4 JellyBean Upgrade + Pageplus Users
Just a fair warning to everyone using Pageplus. As you all the Jellybean update has been released and your phone might've already offered to upgrade your OS.
DO NOT UPDATE!!!!! I REPEAT DO NOT UPDATE!!!!
Although JellyBean is very beautiful, this update will break your Page plus configuration. I had two friends already who were on Droid Razr/Maxx and updated to JellyBean. The whole CDMA WS config has been reset so options like NV_ONLY and evdo config has been erased leaving the phone in a non working state- In terms of calling, texting or data.
I'm very tempted to get JellyBean and everyone is looking for a safe solution to upgrade to JellyBean and have PP. As far as I've seen online, there have been successful tutorials but it required re-flashing the system to a factory state and re-configuring and other had it where you need a new sim and was necessary to root the phone. I'll be experimenting and posting my results soon. If anyone comes up with a success, please share!!!:laugh:
Good Luck and be pre-cautious!,
jeanr464
Working Perfect
I have my Droid 4 JB flashed working with full 3G on Pageplus never activated SIM and no problems. Same way as with the RAZR/RAZR MAXX. You can use any sim and not have any problems.
What was your situation?
How did you do it? I performed a straight upgrade and my config screwed up. Did you just reflash it and reconfigured it? Can I apply the same CDMA workshop method to this firmware?

Getting 3G to stick
Hey. Thanks for the tutorial on how to get 3G working. I haven't gotten it to work for some reason. I'm running ICS and I have 1X working. My girlfriend has the same phone and I did the same thing, but for whatever reason, not even 1X will work on hers. I did your settings in the ##program menu. The LTE and test settings. I'm not having luck getting 3G to stick.
It also seems that I cannot always get data to work by toggling wifi off. I have to not be around it or turn off my router. Getting 1X to work seems to sometimes be random. If I get 1x working and then If I go into the ##program menu now and turn EDVO only, 3G will come up for about 5 seconds and then disappear. After many restarts and trying things, 1X is all I can get. I wonder if it has something to do with where I am? Great Falls, Montana.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Try this.

Okay, I'm actually stumped about your situation.. Seems very awkward. In any case let's see what we can do. "Hopefully your on ICS and not JellyBean"
I'm going to post my phone settings and try to match her settings to mine. You said you already did the LTE bbpanic off , apns disable, and test settings...
Okay Go to test settings in the program menu, click next until you see the Field test screen and make sure your phone matches these settings:
Service Option - EVRC
HDR Hybrid Mode - ON
EVDO Revision- A
Network Mode- CDMA and EVDO
CDMA RX Diversity- OFF
HDR RX Diversity- OFF
then hit the back button on your phone twice so it can restart.
If 3G still doesn't work then we need to CDMA WS your phone. It would seem the there is something wrong with the EVDO settings. To me it sounds like the EVDO protocol might be wrong.

I can confirm I am not on Jellybean. I didn't update it yet because I thought it might break it. Also all of those settings match on both of our phones.

Okay. So... I think it might have to be with the configuration of the phone. I believe it could be:
1. The PRL
or
2. EVDO settings
So we're going to have to CDMA WS or DFS your phone and check the settings. (Recommend DFS since everything is available.)
www.cdma-ware.com or http://www.cdmatool.com/
Put your phone in Bptools mode - (Turn off, press volume +/- buttons and press power, scroll to bptools, press volume up)
Connect it to the computer
Go to device manager and find out what COM port it's on.
Open DFS and select the ports on the top left, double click on the port of your phone (A green circle should appear next to it after your click) then exit out of the port selection screen.
Then on the top left of the screen under Ports you should see SPC. Click on it to unlock the SPC of your phone.
Now click on the Programming tab. Once you click the Programming Tab, Click on the NAM tab under ( It's between general and Data).
Now there should be a section to the right that says PRL. on the bottom click READ and then tell me what PRL number shows up. (The number is located in the box on top of the Read button).
Afterwards, click on the Data tab ( It's next to the NAM tab you clicked earlier)
On the bottom there should be a READ button. Click that button.
Now Tell me in your next post if the PPP config to the left has your phone number @dun.vzw3g.com and post all your the MODE settings
Ex:
SIP NAI= (Your Phone) @dun.vzw3g.com
UID=(Your Phone)@vzw3g.com
MODE:
HDR SCP force AT config: =
HDR SCP force release 0 config=
Hybrid preferred mode:
Data MDR (HSPD) mode:
Data service option:
I'll Post screenshots of my phone config so you can compare. Before you change anything POST what your phone settings display.
Hope we can solve this,

So the nexus 6 has been out for some time now and no engineering screens have come into view yet.. Has anyone got an idea if this was wiped altogether from this device or did they cram it under a special boot (similar to booting LG for diagnostics) to enable such menus?
Try #.#.4636.#.# from the dialer. it opens a testing menu for me
that aint working for me...none of the usual USSD codes seem to work. I have a Moto NX6 on VZW
If you want lte band and frequency info, try the app LTE Discovery. It has lots of info on the current signal.
On stock ROM my phone picks up sprint LTE fine if I try a custom ROM anyone it won't automatically connect and I would have to use the LTE discovery app .

The phone is working great and I can set it to LTE thru the Settings menus, but always like to have access to the USSD codes for goofing around....no real biggie

Yeah, it seems it is not on this model at all. I was really bummed myself. I even side loaded the Nexus 5 field test mode app. It works, but has no access to the menus needed to turn on/off selected lte bands.

And of course i actually tried it before i posted... I mess the #* up all the time.
Yes the 4636 code works. But the DATA code (3282) does not. This gives you access to the screen with many more service options. Such as allowing you to turn on/off individual LTE bands etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/n5-hidden-field-test-mode-t2524744
4636 is a standard AOSP dialer function.
There use to be a debug menu for nothing but LTE / CDMA information? for what ever reason the nexus 6 doesn't offer this anymore vs the nexus 5 still does.. The app also doesn't port over. The only dialer codes that work still are ones related to the SprintDM app that was loaded on it for activation / resetting the device. I loved having the debug menu to see what LTE band I was connected to and control / force my LTE bands to specific ones for site testing (forcing 800mhz and or 2600mhz).
All is well I suppose if we don't ever see light of this.
Model SM-G920TXAR3COK1
Android Version 5.1.1
I have been trying to activate the hidden menus on this device with the ultimate goal of using the menus to force LTE only. I have rooted the phone using the latest version of Odin (I believe 3.10.6 or 3.10.7). I have tried multiple third party apps and I have tried side loading different apk's through adb, but nothing seems to work for me. I haven't been able to find any threads about my situation that could point me in the right direction and would appreciate any help!
That is a cellular south firmware, so is that your carrier? If it is, continue reading, if not you should probably flash the tmobile rom.
What happens when you dial *#0011# ?
And then try *#2263#
If neither of these work it's likely that the hidden menu access is removed from your firmware version by the carrier and there is no way to change that that doesn't involve flashing new firmware. If the phone is carrier unlocked you could flash tmobile firmware on it since it uses the same phone model. Tmobile has hidden menus enabled. You should of course research the risks of doing so and whether that would stop you from using certain carrier features. [I know nothing about Cellular south.]

When I dial *#0011#, I get the ServiceMode menu. Is there more settings to this?
When I dial *#2263#, nothing seems to happen.
2263 is the section of service mode that allows you to specify band selection.

It seems it's removed from your firmware.

I flashed the phone with the T Mobile firmware and I am able to access both codes. However, I am not able to get to the part in the service menu (*#0011#) in which I can select an LTE only mode. The menu doesn't seem to respond to any key inputs. Currently, the phone is unrooted with a firmware of G920TUVS3DOJC. Does it have to be rooted again in order to be able to access that part of the menu? Or is there a different way?
Ah it seems I misunderstood your question a bit. I thought you wanted to force a specific lte band, which 2263 can do. 0011 is not an interactive menu, it's just a status screen. I don't know of any way to force it to LTE so that it never drops off to other mobile technologies.
Edit: If you go to 2263, under band disable settings, select WCDMA [this is I believe what samsung calls HSPA for some reason]. You'll see this: https://puu.sh/nDjIp/d95be8b0a1.jpg
Tap each band there once and the [*] will appear which means it's disabled. Disabling them all should in effect disable HSPA. Hope that helps. Almost positive there's no way to disable things like edge or gprs though.
This is not mine, I take no credit, Mayrer has done most of the hard work for us, you credit him for his work and everyone he has worked on to get your Sprint to working for GSM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spri...nlock-t3229801
I have only updated the information for changing in hidden menu and PropEditor. I also credit the maker for the CDMA to GSM Patch, Mentor.37 for his work and everyone else who has helped him.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394689
I do not know if this will work for any other Sprint phone not on ZV6
Bands 2, 4, 12 are for bands T-Mobile.
Download PropEditor and edit these settings....Don't forget this step first!!
ro.build.target_operator=SPR => TMO
ro.build.target_country=US
ro.telephony.default_network => 9
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice => 0 ....don't forget to save and reboot.
Along with Hidden Menu 5689#*991# to change your APN settings properly and set
Field Test => Modem Settings =>
PDP Setting => [5] APN Setting ...... now you have to select the bottom one then go into menu [ ] press until you see delete APN
you must do this because a bug I am seeing only allows the bottom APN setting to be used, I usually delete all until the APN I use is on the very bottom selection. no go back
Network Mode = Automatic => go back => RAT Selection = GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto
LTE Band Selection doesn't work proplerly so installing the modded Shortcut Master (Lite) from the link above be sure to go to
lotHiddenMenuMain (witout root) => LTE setting=> LTE Data Roam Config....and enable
Bar Roam Forced
Bar Roam Enabled
Roam Guard Forced
Roam Guard Enabled
Band 2
Band 4
Band 12 go back
Band 25 should be disabled unless you can use it. You cannot really set APN here.
I sometimes install the CDMA to GSM patch for global phones but I then have to re-do the PropEditor settings again, but it may be able to configure anything else that is missing, you can try to Adb Sideload the zip or use FlashGordon app to try to install, honestly I don't know if either worked for me for the patch.
This is what I configure to get my phone to working with T-Mobile.
I only submit this, I cannot provide support, you can always add on to anything else I may have missed or messed up, thank you.
Has anybody with an LG G4 rom version ZVG been able to successfully get their phone working on T-Mobile?
My phone is paid off and Sprint sent the domestic SIM unlock code. When the TMO sim is in and the phone's network mode is set to Auto, and and APN is manually entered per TMobile's specs, the phone can connect to the network and make calls, send SMS, connect to EDGE data, and sometimes send MMS, but it never connects to LTE. If I change the network mode to LTE/CDMA, the phone doesn't connect at all.
I read elsewhere to try change the "Bearer" field in the APN to "LTE" but that field is not displayed or editable in the APN input/edit screen. I tried a bunch of the Shortcut Master (Lite) or similar ways to expose the hidden menus to edit the full APN but they all fail due to permissions (because of ZVG version?). Shortcut Master (Lite) says it would work if upgraded to the paid Secret Codes version, can anybody verify that before I pay?
Or, any other suggestions to get this fully working with LTE or can even confirm that this is possible?
guys this is kinda old news
the build prop also is better set from
ro.build.target_operator=SPR => OPEN
then xposed modules such as android theme and such work.
but great find on thew band settings
ive been running my g2 g3 and g4 on tmobile and att and its subsidiaries for a long times now
and the g series sprint phones have been the best at taking to other networks due to the sprints already supporting most of the bands`
---------- Post added at 08:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 AM ----------
request for modderators to move this thread to the general area
i also thin the mellow mallow international roms go up to zvb which should work on tmobile and i can verify att networks
Doesn't the phone need to be rooted for the build prop to be edited?
And as far as I can tell, there isn't a root for a G4 on ZVG firmware?
Basically, to start with, can anybody confirm if a LS991 ZVG can be made to work on TMobile without root, or if there is a good rooting method, where is it?
Thanks.

paid version aint got nothing to do with it its a sprint thing have u tried the uicc unlock id call srint back and tell them and ask about it sprint still hast apns locked down shortcutmaster is free and does all u need in that area
sprint should still have to suport the device as it has been paid off and unlocked as per their policy and they havnt fully unlocked it like they claim

Can you be more specific on what I need to ask Sprint about? Like I said, I asked for the the Domestic Sim Unlock and they sent that over the air and a confirmation showed up on the phone. It does not reject the T-Mobile SIM like it would normally, so something has changed from the default state.
Still looking for confirmation from somebody that has successfully connected their ZVG LS991 to TMO after a Domestic Sim Unlock.

so its accerpting the sim but apns are still greyed out where u cant edit them
need to ask sprint for the msl of this device so u can attempt to edit the apns it may take a few calls but most of the time if u keep ure cool and keep trying they will eventually give it to you
tell them the situation u paid it off they sent u the unlock code but are still unable to edit the apn without the msl
Anyone have the lg v40 running on at&t? surprisingly i have no options under mobile networking. I can only enable international data roaming and setup new apn. Usually i'd expect to see settings allowing me to change the bands.

Everything is auto- , the phone I have is locked to att and I guess the only way to change that is to unlock the phone.

It bounces off 2 things, the phone's props and the network being detected. Using the unlocked does not enable settings if it's not natively supported by the carrier contrary to popular belief. That was true on older versions of android. Newer ones relies on multiple configs to decide what options you get to see or not. In most cases, if the phone model is not what is expected for a particular network, it will default to global roaming mode that has the least set of options. From what I've seen, this comes as a result of carriers requesting to have specifically designated models tailored to their service.
If you are rooted, you can tweak stuff in build.prop to have the phone switch carrier and regional modes.

root not needed:
1. for network mode, try dial *#*#4636#*#* and then phone information, this works on my v35 with tmo and att sim, you can also use a 3rd app called "network mode" which is a shortcut of the above, hope that works on v40 too.
2. for band selection, I use 277634#*# on v30(tmo unlocked) for both tmo and att sim; I use 277634#*# on v35 (both att unlock and usa unlock) for tmo sim; I use *#546368#*350# (need to dig into the menu to find band selection) on v35 (both att unlock and usa unlock) for att sim; hope either one of these two works for v40.
