hi all,

i read on the thunderbolt section that a user was able to get an LTE thunderbolt on page plus service. Any1 looking willing to make the bionic work?

I intend to try what was done to the thunderbolt, just scared it will brick the phone.

Why not use the droid x 2 than it is duel core and since LTE is not in the mix why not get a thinner phone. Droid x would be preface.

Newbie guide to programming droid bionic with 3g data on pageplus



1.get a 4glte sim card.

2. factory data reset phone

3. Activate phone by using the first 15 characters of the imei (drop 1 character from the end)

4. Push pageplus prl to phone. (I do not know how to link download files to this forum yet)

I used cdma workshop 3.8 demo version

A.put phone in diagnostic mode power off, hold up and down buttons and power back on, select bp tools at the bottom by button down to it and button up to select bp tools

B. Connect phone to computer open up cdma workshop go to ports and select the one that says diag it should be the one at the bottom.

C. Click connect to connect phone

D. Go to main tab click spc send 000000 to unlock phone, go to other tab to load pageplus prl to phone, select write and find your prl file and it should write it to the phone.

5. Insert sim card.

6. Restart phone. Phone should OTA program.
7. dial *#*#4636#*#* go to phone information go to cdma auto prl and change it to cdma only

Back out of that

8. dial ##program go to test mode next over to evrc hdr hybrid mode change network type to cdma and back out phone will restart

(check menu/settings/phone status make sure mobile network type says CDMA 1xrtt and you have 1x data)

9. dial *#*#4636#*#* go to phone information go to cdma and change it to cdma auto prl

Back out of that

10. Power down and remove sim card and power up.

11. dial ##program go to test mode next over to evrc hdr hybrid mode change network type to cdma and evdo phone will restart

(check menu/settings/phone status make sure mobile network type says CDMA EvDo rev A. if it says eHRPD redo steps 10-14.)

12. dial *#*#4636#*#* go to phone information go to cdma auto prl and change it to unknown

Back out of that

(check menu/settings/phone status make sure mobile network type says CDMA EvDo rev A. if it says eHRPD redo steps 10-15.)

13. Power down phone, replace sim card power up you should have 3g and talk and text

this is the pageplus prl that i used

Did you really get the Droid Bionic to function correctly on Page plus? Reason I ask is cause I just ordered a Bionic to root and get it working on page plus, really hope this works. Can I use the demo verison of cdma workshop to flash my phone?

thanks.

I was thinking about getting the droid x2 being I know people got it working with page plus, but I just wanted a newer model, was going to get the razr in fact, but didn't cause I never seen any write ups on people getting it working with page plus, Sure it can be done, these guys here are amazing and have help me through the years, rooting my old school droid and installing ubuntu on it.

Would love to see proof of the droid bionic working on page plus, sure it can be done, same with the razr, where there is a will there is away for sure, Phone will be here tomorrow and will try myself in fact.

Thanks.

Your probably better off trying the Droid x2 as it's a 3g phone. Even if you do get the bionic or razr working on pageplus, you probably won't get data as they are lte phones which use a different technology than what pageplus uses.

I will make a video of this when i get time. Use cdma workshop to put a pageplus prl on the phone. It will activate normally if you drop the last character from the IMEI. After that *#*#4636#*#* to turn radio off and change cdma/gsm/auto prl to cdma only to get solid 1x data. The method i use to get 3g works until the phone drops signal. Then you have to repeat the method. It can get agrivating. But i am sending this post on my 3g from droid bionic on Pageplus.

Is it possible to flash the bionic over to Revol (similar to cricket if you don't know)

it is no problem to get the bionic on pageplus, cdma workshop demo will work just fine. you also need a 4glte sim card. factory data reset the phone and you need to install cdma workshop demo first. download a pageplus prl. you can find one at http://www.4shared.com/file/qryS5x4T/51720_EVDO.html
download motorola usb drivers from motorola website
http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles/...iver_5.4.0.exe
and install them.
power off your computer.
you power down your phone and put it in diagnostic mode by holding down both volume up and down buttons and pressing power on button at the top.
use the down button to toggle down to bp tools at the bottom and press the volume up button to select it. your phone will power on in diagnostic mode.
connect your phone via a usb cable to your computer and power on your computer. after your computer is powered up wait for the computer to install the device drivers for your phone
open up device manager and find the modems and look for your phone (moto something or other or or xt875) and see which com port it is on by looking in the advanced tab or one of the other tabs. open up cdma workshop and select the com port your bionic is on and click on the connect button. click read to make sure your phone is connected and go to the security tab and SPC /User lock click send and send spc 000000 to your phone to unlock it so that you can write to it. go to the main tab and at the bottom you will see a drop down menu that says cdma click the drop down arrow and click on cdma-2. go to the r-uim configuration and click on nv only go to the bottom and click write click on the nam-1 and click nam-2 and click write again. now go to the cdma-2 tab and click cdma and go up to the tabs and click other go to the prl and click write and find the location you downloaded the prl file and select it and the program will write it to the phone. now you can power off the phone. activate the imei number by dropping off the last digit to make the number one less (14 instead of 15), power it up normally and the phone will program normally with the 4glte sim card installed. after activation, to get 1x data with mms go to the dial pad and *#*#4636#*#* go down to the turn off radio button and click it. it should now say turn on radio go to the gsm\cdma\prl auto drop down menu and select cdma only and then click turn on radio button back button out of there and you now have 1x data with talk, text and mms. painless

[/COLOR]i am sure this method will work for other mvno's as well. you would need to put a compatible prl on the phone.

what exactly does this mean? how do you activate minus 1 character from the IMEI? When you turn the phone on doesn't it just try to activate by itself? Or do you do something to the IMEI to make it work through the cdma workshop?

the imei number is 1 character less than an esn number. the last number in the imei number is not used to program the phone. if you attempt to program a imei number on page plus with the last number it will not program. a 4g lte phone will automatically program with a sim card in it if you have the correct prl file for your carrier that the imei number is programmed for. a 4g lte prl is not compatible with pageplus, thus you will need to push or write a compatible prl file to the phone for it to program to pageplus. (esn or imei mobile identification number is the number you give the carrier ...pagplus...verizon...sprint...etc... so they know where to send your cellular signal to)

    whew finally figured out the 3g on the bionic on pageplus thanx to the cricket forum and the .902 build

    make sure you do the programming as per the bionic on pageplus thread
    make sure you are on the .902 update

    *#*#info#*#* (4636) cdma auto PRL
    ns toggle allowed
    ##program 14 lte test settings
    lte bbpanic disable
    sim type 3g test uicc
    remove sim and make sure you have the pageplus prl on the phone after you check it without the sim card
    and leave the sim card out
    (remember to write nv only in cdma workshop to write prl to phone in either qpst or cdma ws)
    disable 1,2 apns
    reboot phone a few times and it will be good.

    (mms will not work without a work around, i used verizon messenger for this)
