Install the commcenter patch for iOS 7. Reboot. Then, add the source cydia.xsellize.com, and then install iFile. Navigate in iFile to the carrier bundles. They are located in this path../System/Library/Carrier Bundles/iPhone. Then, if your phone is Verizon, rename the Verizon_LTE_US.bundle to Verizon_LTE_US.bundle.bak and rename the Tracfone bundle to Verizon_LTE_US.bundle. Reboot. Dial *22890 to activate your iPhone on Page Plus. If you can’t dial *22890, swap your SIM. By this, I mean take your SIM out, and put a Sprint. AT&T..etc..SIM in, and let it recognize the SIM, then put yours back in. Note:This applies ONLY if you have activated your MEID with Page Plus. The same method works with Sprint iPhones, just rename the Sprint_LTE_US bundle to Sprint_CSIM_LTE_US.bak, and the Tracfone bundle to Sprint_CSIM_LTE_US. If data doesn’t work, try renaming the Sprint bundle to the verizon LTE bundle and dialing *22890 before renaming it to the tracfone bundle, then dial *22890 again. Please note that there have been mixed results with this method. Approximately 50% of the phones that I’ve flashed the data and MMS didn’t work on, only talk and text. I haven’t figured out why, but even at that, if you have a Sprint bad ESN iPhone 5 or 5c or 5s, it’s definitely worth doing. Good luck.
got from ebay a clean esn sprint 5c ios 7.0.6 on pageplus has the 'could not activate cellular data network' message...i tried reset network settings, *228, even the remotesquad esn reset..what can i try next. but afraid of breaking the flash/jailbreak..thanks
ReplyDeleteLike I said in the post, mixed results with data. I've done a dozen or so, and sometimes data works, sometimes it doesn't. Also, you need to be dialing *22890, not *228. Try the renaming the Verizon_LTE bundle, *22890, then name back to the Tracfone, *22890 again. You can also try a SIM swap with a Verizon 4G LTE SIM, or a GSM one. I believe there are different baseband chips, and this is what is impeding some from data activation. It's really tough to do without being able to restore back to a jailbreakable firmware. There is the Semi-Restore for iOS7 utility by CoolStar, but I'm not certain about it. I would be leery just because if it fails, you HAVE to update, and then you're screwed.
