Well if it was any other build than MDK stock firmware you're unfortunately out of luck. How are you flashing ROMs now? What recovery?

Well I'm not 100% on flashing a phone to page plus. All I can say is maybe update your recovery to Philz latest and look for a rom that allows you to put Page Plus apns in. But if you're using Philz.. you're still on MDK and I'd have to guess someone here can show you how to get it going.

Also sounds like the kernel your trying to run isn't Loki'd. So look into that.

I'm new to the s4 but not new to flashing roms, flashing to different carriers etc.... I figured all aosp roms had to be loki'd?..... Or else they wouldn't work to begin with? and to modify apns for different carriers, it's as simple as file explorer,find system/etc/apns-conf.xml and modify or replace that.

Yea well you have more experience than I do in that department lol only Verizon and ATT S4's use Loki. Philz latest has auto Loki... Maybe update that and see where it takes you.

If you flash say a TMobile S4 rom onto your phone without Lokifying it...it won't work.

although, for a VZW rom, apns shouldn't need to be changed as page plus uses VZW towers.... just limited to 3g

I'd say then update your Philz then try again. There's really no reason you shouldn't be able to flash whatever Verizon rom and be good.

I'd suggest trying Liquid Smooth 4.4 for JFLTE . Since you say the apns aren't an issue. . What version of philz are you on? Some of them had issues with Loki. Like I said the latest works great

    i threw out a poll on this yesterday. Either we are the majority, or the non MDK users simply are too depressed :)

    I put this modem and now my baseband says ME7. Did i lose the MDK baseband? I can still get into recovery.

    No, you can flash whatever modem (i.e. baseband) you want, and you can go up/down back to MDK or up to MK2.

    The MDK bootloader is what allows you to have a custom recovery, and changing your modem (baseband) won't affect it.

    This app can show you what your bootloader version is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo
