Hi I gave my galaxy s3 to my dad. I was originally on CM11. I flashed MK5 and all other necessary files with it. The problem I am having is that I swapped over the ESN to his account on VM. The data works, but my phone number is still attached to the phone. I tried that ##847446# , but the phone dials out instead of going to the program menu. I also tried Activate this device in the settings. It fails. Does anybody know the way to activate these phones successfully after they have been hacked?
