i ment when i flashed my droid charge to st. how wld i add more artime to it and can i have the same # for my droid that i have for my st phone now
[Fascinate General] tf1078:
Yes the # would be the same if ur using your St phone as the doner. Adding air time is just like I said, you add it thru their site.

i boght a new lg221 to be the donor just so there wold be no problems. i alredy have an ativated st phone that i use. im gonna use the lg221 to make droid st. so i can take my current number and then put it on the droid through the website right. would it be ok to just call and let st transfer # for me.
[Fascinate General] tf1078:
Yeah, either way is fine just make sure you have the Droid fully programmed after you transfer the # that way when you activate it everything will run smooth. And activate it like you would any other phone but don't activate the doner. I tried a droid 2 and couldn't get the 16 digit unlock code so the meid would never take and the method of zeroing the meid out with cdma workshop so you don't need the code wouldn't work neither. But if you have all the right stuff it'll work.

i need to activate the droid with the steps and then get on st website and transfer # from current st phone to the droid right? st will think its the 221 thogh right?
[Fascinate General] tf1078:
Add the meid to your St acct, have St transfer the # to the newly added meid on the acct then follow all the steps in the thread. Never having turned on the doner. When I ported a # it took St 24hrs to give me the full green light to activate and use the #but since its their # already it should be instant. After you have followed all the steps in the thread you should be good to go. And yes St will see it as whatever doner you are using.

what is unlock code for samsung droid charge. I cant find it anywhere and need it for dfs. after i switch the esn to my droid how do i get st to ativate it. what if they ask me to type in a cde in the prepai menu, what would i do then. this is mind boggeling.....
[Fascinate General] tf1078:
:( I warned you about the lock code. Activating is the easy part. Your over thinking that. You need to worry about unlocking that Droid. Good luck....

[Fascinate General] colbyt94:
alright i am lost. what is unlocking it mean. i thought you have to follow the instrutions and it would be flashed to st. i have my charge on cyanamod 9. what do i need to do to make this phone work. pls give me a cmplete guide or link me to one.
[Fascinate General] tf1078:
how is it you thought this guide would work for your Droid charge. I thought this thread's title said fascinate flashed to straight talk. If you wanted a different phone to work you needed to do your homework first and see if you can find the specific 16digit code for that phone. If you read thru the whole guide and just assumed that the fassy 16 digit code would work or that you don't need that code then you made a big mistake. And even after I tried to warn you seems you ignored my post about it. As I said in the epic slide to straight talk some of this stuff seems easy especially with a detailed guide such as this but if it were easy everyone would be doing it. Seems you tried to use different hardware, ignored the specifics and are now stuck. As I said before, good luck I hope you find the unlock code for the charge, which btw you need to get to the meid repair side of any phone even if your rooted. If not cricket is an alright service to flash to I hear. Just don't expect everyone to do the leg work for you.

I read in another xda thread that this would work with any cdma for the most part. I got the droid charge brand new for 70 dollars, so i thougt why not try this. I was already using st and still am. I had all the resources except for how to flash the droid obviously. I have been reading and reading many forums and no luck. It seemed that you had the most knowledge so im this thread so i thought i should ask you. Now i see i will just have to wait for someone to find away to do this. In the mean time I will keep trying, but thank you for the help.
[Fascinate General] tf1078:
No problem, I too searched for the unlock code for the charge and couldn't find it. For cdma phones you can flash between cricket and metro pcs pretty easily but carriers like St have strict requirements that require the phone you want to use, if it's not one of their's, to be fully unlocked. I did wipe the meid info thru cdma workshop for the lg optimus and was able to reprogram it thru qpst and dfs without the unlock code but I haven't tried that method on ANY other phone and there's always a chance you could brick the phone if your not careful. You need to be real comfortable using both programs to get this done and it's not easy. Do a little digging or Googling I guess it should be called now and you will find ways to do this, I would go into more detail but we're already pretty far off the topic of this thread. Just remember what I said in my previous post, I tried like hell to get the Droid 2 to flash to St but couldn't, the meid side could not be unlocked or changed, and had to either go with the phone's original carrier or one like cricket that doesn't care who's phone it is or sell it. After that was sold I realized the type of unlocked it had to be and that I needed to do more research on which types of phones had all the unlock codes available. I remember thinking that if it was cdma I could program it to any carrier but that simply is not true. Sorry I couldn't help any further.

I was able to download and login with a demo. I just can't get DFS to recognize my phone. Got the modem checked, it's the correct port. It gives me two options, 1. (under heading Modem) Description: Samsung Mobile Modem #2

2. (under diagnostic) Description: Samsung Mobile Modem Diagnostic Serial Port (WDM) (COM6)

Any help? Just stumbled on this awesome find and would like to get my Mez on ST if possible.
[Fascinate General] tf1078:
are they both greyed out? Or can you select one? It should be the diag port , once selected all the info on your phone should display in yellow. Do you have any other program open which is using that port? Does it say port is busy when you try to select it? Also do you have the unlock code for the mez? Not the spc but the other 16 digit code?

sent form my Straight talk SCH-I500
[Fascinate General] jburner:
I'll try to answer all your questions.. .

1. Nothing is greyed out as far as ports. I connect to the same one that shows up in that Youtube video labeled "Diagnostic"

2. No other program that I am aware of, does it have to be a running program, it was assigned to that port automatically.

3. Port does not say it is busy, I double click on it and it says its searching the phone, but never finds anything, just a whole lot of RED CPS NA in every blank.

4. Not sure if I have the right unlock code for the MEZ, I was using the Fascinate one found on here beginning with 2010031619780721 in a post by laserman, maybe that's my that my problem? Know where to find the Mez 16 digit code or how I can find it?

5. My SPC code is different than the 000000. I was able to find that using Connectbot.

My guess is that the 16 digit code is my problem that I can't unlock it because it's not the right one. DFS seems to find the phone, and I can Open and Close the port through DFS, just can't find any info on the phone. Phone is in modem mode, hidden menu enabled and all that. Any ideas? Does DFS have to have the phone info in the program? I wonder if that's my problem too.

By the way, I appreciate the timely response!
[Fascinate General] tf1078:
Alright I tried to respond to your pm but it was rejected... I went ahead and flashed back to stock to enable the hidden menu and dialup. In dfs I leave it on qual universal. The only time you need to use their phone menu is to have dfs unlock the phone for you. On the fassy we have the 16 digit code so no need. On the mez you may need to do some digging but the phone info should come up once the phone is connected to the correct port. try sending the spc code you found to the phone thru dfs. Now without the 16 digit code you will not be able to reporgram the meid info so that is a VERY important piece. I found alot of codes in http://cdmagurus.com/archive/index.php/t-1513.html. I know dfs has changed alot since I first used it. Attached is the dfs I still use, It says you should update and doesn't let you connect to their database but their database is almost useless unless you give them money and for the full program it's not cheap.
[Fascinate General] BiotechBob:
I was able to do this the other day on my Fascinate. A couple of notes.

1) It only worked with the diagnostic port.

2) The MEID did not change on the phone or in DFS (upper left hand corner) until I did the reset. It did not change when I did the write.

3) Phone and text work, I'll be checking data later.

4) DFS did not need an activation code, keep an eye on the icons at the bottom and if they are green or yellow you're good to go.

5) I did not need the SCH-I500 packet download to get it to work. The universal settings were OK.
[Fascinate General] tf1078:
Seems we agree on the diag port.... lol

Exactly! And your data should work fine and if you ever loose your 3g cause of flashing roms just dial *22890 and you'll have the data back!
[Fascinate General] jburner:
I'm wondering if you couldn't PM me because I finally got into my account and turned all that back on. Thanks anyway for trying.

I'm wondering if I have to flash the fascinate Rom to my Mez to get it to work properly. I tried putting the SPC code in and pressed the "play" button to send it through. Nothing different. I was able to get into my menu with ##887# to enable both USB and UART. I also figured out how to get in to enable dial up. Still same red numbers. I'm just baffled as to why it doesn't read. The diagnostic port is the one I chose it says it's opening and closing, but nothing. I have yet to find in all my searching someone who has successfully done this with a Mesmerize. I've looked plenty all over. If anyone reads this and has successfully done this with a Mesmerize only, please by all means share.

In the meantime I'll try to flash the Fascinate Rom and see if that does anything different.

Is there any reason why I WOULDN'T want to switch from Verizon to Straight Talk? Right now I am paying $170/month for 2 smartphones and 1 feature phone on Verizon! I'm ready to switch.
[Fascinate General] jburner:
I tried QPST and CDMA WS, neither one is able to read the phone. QPST says the phone does not answer. It's in modem mode. Figured out how to get it into dial-up networking. Still nothing. Does the phone have to be deactivated in order to work with DFS? Anyone ever try this with a USCC Mesmerize and do it successfully?
[Fascinate General] tf1078:
If you cannot connect to any of those then there's a problem that is there before you connect the phone to the CPU. Make sure u are using OEM cable, make sure USB debug is selected, make sure it's in modem mode by enabling hidden menu and selecting it. Here's a forum that should help, http://cdmagurus.com/archive/index.php/t-4777.html. read thru the whole thread and you should get it working. To me all of the above sound like your issue. Report back after you have completed, checked and rechecked all of the above. Bet ur issue is fixed! Google is a powerful tool indeed.

my fassy on straight talk
[Fascinate General] jburner:
These are the things I've been doing - OEM cable, USB debug selected, modem mode - hidden menu was already enabled, however I'm not seeing any hidden menu that shows up anywhere. I'm trying it on a different CPU and see if that makes any difference. I tried windows 7 pc before. I read through that link a million times and tried just about every scenario, but nothing gets it to read the phone. I'm baffled. I'll let you know about the different computer.

I GOT IT! Here is the key for anyone else who may want to do this to a Mez. In addition to selecting Modem, etc. as instructions indicate. Here is the important step that allowed me to see the "yellow numbers" in DFS.

1.type ##33284#

2. type SPC code mine was NOT 000000, but you can find out yours using "connectbot"

3. Select "Port Map" (second from bottom)

4. Select HFK, Diag - Click OK.

That's It, as soon as I did that everything showed up as it should.

You will want to switch asap. ST i hear has a data cap. Id go with Verizon $50 a month prepaid. The speeds are very fast! In fact I was using wifi tethering and I left the room to get something to eat came back and starting watching youtube videos and other stuff, Well 2 hours later i realized i was still using my wifi tether lol. I totally forgot i was using my phone for the internet on my pc. That tells you the speeds are amazing!!!

Amen to that. I'll stick to my 40 dollar unlimited plan. And it seems to me that as long as ur not teathering the phone and dl-ing crazy big files there really isn't a problem. I've gone over the 2gb soft cap a few months and nothing. Not a warning, a call, nothing.

After tax and stuff(if your state charges that) its only five dollars more!!!
[Fascinate General] tf1078:
That's a not bad option but

No tax and fee's for me and I have been buying in 3 month intervals so its right at 41 total a month with NO activation fee. For that there isn't anyone that can beat it. Coverage is great, data speed is good and the 2gb cap I believe is for those that abuse the data on a regular.

[Fascinate General] 94SupraTT:
That plan is purchased through their website. It's $55 total there is no tax or fees. my data usage varies some days it's light some it's not. Last night I used 500mb of data. I don't think ST will let me do that.

I tether my phone.

[Fascinate General] 903tex:
There is no activation fee on the 55 plan. Thats for the pay as you go plan. Still a better deal because you can use any clean esn Verizon phone without having to flash phones! I flashed a fascinate to straight talk and it was nice now I'm on their Boyd att sim plan and way better device selection.

Hey tf1078

So I see that your are messg from a Fascinate through straight talk... Did you do that yourself, want to share? I have been kicking myself in the butt for the past couple months with the fascinate flashing to boost and I hate the fact that I see others have had success. Should I do straight talk then and if so do I have to get a straight talk phone as I did for the attempt on boost? All the help I can get would be awesome, or redirect me to the post who already has this info as I am new and having trouble finding it.

I will prevail!!!!

HELP Fascinate to Prepaid

I dont want to hear, cant be done or boost is GSM (hello they have CDMA now!) y0u old timers lol)

I bought software downloads but guide is for Epic 4G and I need it for Verizon Galaxy Fascinate. I know it can be done. Ive searched the entire site and although lots of info, nothing that helps. I get as far as the last step to write the Profile 0 on phone but it shuts off and declares the Port is no longer available.

I have Qxdm, Qpst,CDMA Workshop, andDFS. It is sad that with everything I cannot do this, and a computer geek this is just sad!

I know there is a guide somewhere here. Anyway want to point me to the right direction?

Please, and no offense, I dont need chit chat back and forth for you to get your points, if you dont have the info dont cloud this thread. I need what a asked for a full guide of how to transfer Samsung Galaxy Fascinate CDMA by Verizon to a prepaid or from the problem I explained above, a resolution.

I know this is the place, Cmon guys help out. Also if anyone needs the info I have to get me this far, let me know. I take but I know how to give too!

I followed your post to the "t". I now have my fassy running on ST off of verizons towers! totally awesome. The only difference was after hitting reset (step 15) I then disconnected my phone from my computer and in trying to activate it it would call verizon as you indicated. It would fail at programming using *22890. Thought it was over for me. So I simply went to the ST site and activated it online and also ported my number at the same time. Everything works perfect! thanks so much for the detailed info... total investment: $45 which included the unlimited plan and about an hour of my time from start to my talking on ST with my Fassy! Simply Thrilled!!!

I sort of browsed all the pages in this thread, as well as searching the entire forum, and couldn't find an answer, and after PMing the person who posted the updated process (supposedly 100% accurate process, as opposed to OP's), with no response, I thought I'd post the question to everyone, to see if there's any chance, or if I'm SOL.

Alright, so most of the posts here, and the 2 process threads say that you need a new straight talk, unactivated, phone. I personally know the guy I bought my straight talk from at Walmart, and he said he wasn't sure if it was possible to flash a verizon phone to straight talk, usually he knows that stuff, so I figured it wasn't possible, and just activated my LG Optimus Zip.

Now, my questions is... I've already activated my Straight Talk phone, unlimited data thing... Can I still flash my Droid X2 (rooted + running eclipse rom) over to my straight talk account, or am I SOL?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Bumping this even though its old... if you have activated your donor already it IS possible to reuse the donor without getting rid of it, I can 100% confirm this because I've done it before, but it can be a little of a hassle... Unfortunately, what you have to do is something like this, which is what I've done.

So you have a donor you're using and its already activated and you want to use the meid to flash another phone. You need to clear the activation on that meid so what you have to do is get another Straight talk phone, you don't need one permanently, you could buy a cheap one from walmart, just for the meid, don't even open it up or anything and return it when your done, no harm done and the meid will still be fine for the next person who buys it. Anyway, once you have the second donor go ahead and pull battery forever from your first donor. Go to this site and choose the 2nd option transfer from one st phone to another. https://www.straighttalk.com/secure/Activate ... When you do this, after it finishes and says the 2nd donor phone is ready to activate or whatever and transferred, it will completely clear the activation off the first donor meid. Now just delete the first donor phone from your straight talk profile, and you should only have the second donor on there... now go back to https://www.straighttalk.com/secure/Activate and choose 2nd option again, now add your original donor meid and it will transfer your service to it and it will be ready for activation... once programmed it will activate clean and pull fresh 3G EVDO revA HA AAA and DMU10 keys and everything will work.

Basically all you're doing is switching your service from one phone to another, then back, and this will clear activation on the meid and you can flash a phone to it to fresh activate. Just make sure if you do want to buy a phone and return it or something, delete the meid from your profile and don't open the phone or mess with it or anything... I am not advocating taking advantage of walmarts return policies : )

....or just buy a cheap new donor for $5 or something and not worry about going through all this trouble!!! but yeah, just wanted to point out you can fresh activate a meid even if its been activated before
