[Fascinate General] zen_phones:
Well here's what I did different. I used the activation on startup screen instead of bypassing it with emergency number thing to activate. I it is a Verizon prepaid (gusto 2) so I figured why not. Don't know if that makes a difference. I also factory reset and did the bypass but same result. I'm really using the fascinate as a donor for my s3 but I never checked to see if my fascinate had data originally when I transfered the dmu, ha, aaa keys to s3, then I started making so many changes in dfs and cdma ws that I'm not sure anymore. I can get calls and text on s1 (fascinate), but just no data. So I figure I need to get the s1 going before proceeding. Has anyone done this with a gusto 2 to fascinate and got data to work?
[Fascinate General] zen_phones:
Hey question

Is it possible to have a dud fascinate? I I'm actually using it a donor for my sprint s3 and I can't get data to work on the fascinate. I'm using gusto2 MEID donor and using Verizon prepaid (not straight talk). Is it in the first original activation that the keys get pulled? If I factory reset my fascinate and reactivate it even though that MEID has been activated before on the fascinate (never the gusto) does this matter? Will it pull the keys again? I've factory reset and activated and updated roaming several times now on the fascinate.

Still no data, although once during first activation I did see a "x1" flash on my screen very briefly and never again.

Any input here?
[Fascinate General] zen_phones:
can someone do me a huge favor here?

when i first flashed the fascinate, i didnt check it i recieved data, i just went forward with the guide and yanked all the stuff and flashed my s3. i started changing around the s3 settings then...THEN...i started to change around the fascinate settings without even checking if i could recieved data on it! so i think some things are way out of place on my fascinate.

BUT i do remember seeing the fascinate flash a "1x" or "x1" on the splash screen, so i think at 1 point i was able to recieve data on my fassy.

could some one with working data with this method, in DFS, post screenshots or post what their settings are (blocking out your personal numbers etc, of course) for these tabs:

under the programming tab~~

nam (both nam 1 and 2), Data and Mobile IP (both profiles)? again with all sensitive info blocked out

usenam1 and usenam 2 (both the nams) i wanto to get a peek of the "Preferred Settings". i have mine in this order:

HomePref

CDMA IS2000

SYSTEM AB

Automatic

Automatic

in Vocoder section:

everything checked and below that everything set to "EVRC"

in the Data tab i have mynumber@vzw3g.com with vzw as pw for all fields except PPP SIP NAI, in which i have mynumber@du.vzw3g.com

in Mode section:

RevAMFPA

EVDO_Rev0

Enable

SO33_Pref

IS707

and what does the data config and evdo check marks look like?

under Mobile IP:

its using PrefMobile IP

only 1 profile is green and checked

Home address: all zeros

primary and secondary are both 255.255.255.255

HA spi is 300

AAA spi is 2

i'm banging my head trying to get data on my fassy. i would appreciate if anyone could help with this lol
[Fascinate General] justan00b:
I have screenshots posted in my thread/guide, I think it has everything you would need. On phone otherwise id post the link here, buts its in attachments on first post in my thread
[Fascinate General] zen_phones:
hey thanks justan00b. i know i posted (and you responded) in both threads, so i'll respond in here since i guess its more relevant, dealing with the fascinate still and all. but ya i studied that guide with the pics quite closely the first time i tried it. they are the settings for the epic 4G, which i guess should be the same for the fascinate.

the first time i did it i blindly transfered all the data to my galaxy s3 (instead of epic) w/o checking if fascinate received data. and what i did was started tweaking the s3, which didn't work, so i went back and tweaked the fascinate, then back again...and i forgot what i did LOL. but i changed settings that would not revert back to factory-factory when i did a factory reset (via > security > reset to factory within fascinate), to try fresh from square 1. like all the old data and mobile IP info was still in there. so like you said i'm trying to just get data on the fassy.

so i odin'd a stock rom on it (suggested by gadgetdaddy, thanks btw), and still no go. alot of the settings got set to factory when i checked in DFS (i was happy and thought i found my answer), then i activated it, and updated roaming, and.....still no data. talk and text work fine.

is it upon the initial-initial activation that all the 3g data gets pulled (it shouldnt matter right?)? or is it my donor, the gusto 2 perhaps (i'm flashing to verizon prepaid instead of page+)?

i'm running out of things to try here lol. any thoughts? anyone?

maybe after i use up my airtime i'll go at it to a "T" with page plus and the donor phones suggested in both threads.
[Fascinate General] justan00b:
Don't know if its the same with verizon prepaid, probably is. But with straight talk it only pulls data settings on first time/initial activation with a donor MEID. It will activate talk/text fine every time you activate/*22890, but only data the first time...with Straight talk you can either get a new donor, or do a swap trick like I mentioned a few posts above. If you remove the donor from your account and then add it back it will fresh activate and pull new keys, but yeah read above its here I think in one of my posts. So yeah maybe that's your problem.
[Fascinate General] zen_phones:
Thanks justanoob

I did exactly that with Verizon prepaid. I called them told them I wasn't getting data and they reset the keys. I didn't even have to reactivate or anything, I just powered my s3 off and powered on my fassy and 3g was streaming in (800+kbps). I transfered all the data to my s3 and I think I've tried everything but I'm stuck at 1x speeds and can't get 3g to work. Have any suggestions?
[Fascinate General] tf1078:
Remember the keys and the dmu.10 folder have to be copied. Maybe that would help. Also the profiles, on the epic there were 3 and i had to add the ha and aa keys to all 3 before it would show 3g. Is it showing pass for the key in the hidden menu screen?

my fassy on straight talk

fascinate on ST success

Just want to say many thanks to the individuals that put in the work and time on this Verizon Fascinate to Straight Talk Conversion tutorial. I have just completed such a feat and it is working flawlessly.

My biggest g00f was rooting and loading AOKP while waiting for the donor to arrive. Had to flash back to bloatware rom to be able to complete this.

i was getting that on a new iphone cause i live in country when i went into town and tryed all worked great you have to have a strong signal when programming phone for some reason
[Fascinate General] marcustaz:
Guys i was reading through the thread here but I still need help. Is it me or does it seem that ST is doing away with CDMA? I purchased a Samsung Fascinate on eBay for my bro. He is up in the sticks and there is very poor coverage for GSM. He is currently using an AT&T S3 I got him and the service is horrible where he is. We know VZW works fine because he came over from them. OK so the history now the question. What flip phones are currently CDMA? I have looked and have Google searched but I want to get this right the first time. Wally World has this: Straight Talk LG 220C Phone with $45 Card, Refurbished. But we need to get this done tomorrow for him and he wants to go to Wally today rather then buy online and wait. Also he already has purchased the service for 1 year and we need to transfer and I am not sure getting a phone with a month of service will be an easy process to merge with the existing account. Any help/guidance is much appreciated.

I called in and this is what I got.

LG100C 19.99

LG220C 39.99

LG290C 39.99

For whatever reason the zip code I was putting in was not showing them. Still feel free to chime in with advise.
[Fascinate General] hhp_211:
Probably

But

Since you already have a fassy you're in luck

It has support here for the latest jellybean Roms and the newly released 4.2 stuff coming out

And

[Fascinate General] marcustaz:
Yea thanks anyway, so he has his service prepaid for a while, doubt he is going to switch...
[Fascinate General] hhp_211:
No problem,,, not knocking straight talk,,, I was just saying you have an awesome phone with the fascinate that will run awesome with the newest android software and can spend the same amount of money @ $45 and even keep the same phone number and run on the Verizon network,,,

,,, instead of switching to a less than fascinate phone, I was merely suggesting switching prepaid carriers,,,, but hey everyone has to do what works for them... :D just offering my take on solving the problem

If you still need any help we'll always be around :D

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4.3:
Hi guys,

does anyone know how to disable the side external buttons on the gtablet?

Ive tried downloading button savior but the market wont let me download it.

agso i dont understand why antsmasher is only viewablein a small section of the tablet. i downloaded before on tnt and it worked perfectly but when i changed the rom to cm7 and flashback the game is small. the viewable is the size of a phone.

is there a fix for this?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timwood:
You can disable the buttons per the instructions on this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1177174&highlight=buttons

I left the search button enabled so I can use the long press function in the Flashback honeycomb ROM which allows you to hide the soft buttons at the bottom of the screen. I disable all the other buttons.

For ant smasher, try using the "Spare Parts" app to disable (uncheck) "Compatibility Mode" and then reboot.

[Desire Themes and Apps] bootika:
Hi,

These are the black background versions of the original white background HTC animations. I made them myself, frame by frame :)

They can be used on HTC Android phones using 480x800 pixels screens.

You must have a rooted device with S-OFF.

I have tested this only on HTC Desire.

Other probable compatible phones: HTC Desire S, HTC Desire HD, HTC Incredible S, HTC Panache, HTC DROID Incredible 2, HTC Desire Z, HTC Inspire 4G, HTC Merge, HTC ThunderBolt 4G, HTC Evo 4G, HTC EVO Shift 4G, HTC Droid Incredible.

REMEMBER: When you do follow this guide, you do it at your own risk. Still, the chances to brick your phone are almost zero. Good luck!

To install the splash:

Download Android SDK from Android Developers;

Install the latest revision of the USB Driver for Windows in Android SDK Tools;

Boot your phone into Bootloader and connect it to your computer using the USB cable;

Extract splash1.img from splash1.zip;

Put splash1.img into this folder: <Your Android SDK Tools installation path>\android-sdk\tools;

Copy AdbWinApi.dll from <Your Android SDK Tools installation path>\android-sdk\platform-tools to <Your Android SDK Tools installation path>\android-sdk\tools;

Open a command window (Windows key + R -> Type "cmd" -> hit Enter);

Navigate to your <Your Android SDK Tools installation path>\android-sdk\tools directory using cd command:

cd <Your Android SDK Tools installation path>\android-sdk\tools

Enter:

fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img

Reboot;

To install the boot and down animations:

Make sure debug mode is enabled on your phone: Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Check the box for USB Debugging;

Download Android SDK from Android Developers;

Install the latest revision of the USB Driver for Windows in Android SDK Tools;

Put bootanimation.zip and downanimation.zip into this folder: <Your Android SDK Tools installation path>\android-sdk\platform-tools;

It's a complicated process to make splash1.img out of an bmp. Take a look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=753788

But as long you do it right, you can use my tutorial to put it on your phone
[Desire Themes and Apps] AndroidAutobot:
For my spash screen, i used this tutorial -

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834267

Theoretically, according to that tutorial to achieve a splash image that was originally a BMP, couldnt one A) resize the image to 480x800, B) convert the BMP into a PNG then C) follow the steps of the tutorial?

Pretty sure that would make the process relatively easy =)
[Desire Themes and Apps] zedmarcus:
Creating a custom splash screen is the easiest thing in the world!

Simply take your chosen image, open it in windows paint, and resize to 480x800 pixels. Make sure you then save it as a 24bit bmp.

Download and use Android Flasher, found here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794638

And then you're done...

You don't need to know anything about Android SDK. People who tell you that you need to know this have no idea about finding easy ways to do things.

Edit: Android Flasher will also flash boot animations, radio's, HBoot and recovery.
[Desire Themes and Apps] bootika:
Never tried it. Looks like an elegant solution :) My sole purpose was to share those backgrounds I made. I'm sure there are a lot of ways to put them on your phone, one of which is the one I presented.

I tried to do it with Android Flasher, but somehow it doesnt recognise my phone nor does it find any files. So therefore I wanna give android sdk a try.

I like and am using the boot anim. A couple of q's though.

Does your boot anim use sound. I cant seem to get a boot sound.

Also downanimation.zip. I flashed downanimation but it doesnt do anything. When I reboot, or shutdown no animation is shown. Do I need to set up something else?

Nothing I can do!!!!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3l1:
It doesn't seem like you read or followed any guide.

Go to the dev forum, cf-root thread and follow the instructions. Make sure you installed Kies to get the drivers and then close Kies and kill EVERY process in task manager that belongs to Kies. Now you can use Odin, according to the guide!

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paladin13:
Instead of throughing accusations on people having problems try to be more helpful or dont post at all.

I was the owner of a Samsung Galaxy S and now a S G 2.

I am also the Head IT and the man responsible for a group of S.A. companies that have over 250 mobile connections.

I have rooted many devices before S G 2 (HTC mainly and a few S Galaxy S) and it's something I can do very easily thanks to the very helpful guides that exist here in this forum that even non-experienced users can very easily follow.

The S G 2 was the first phone to cause such a problem to me!

The answer to my problem has been found by me and it was no other than the USB ports I used.

For some reason they were stuck and when the process would begin at odin it would freeze at the zimage task and stay there forever. The Gingerbreak 1.10 doesnt seem to work anyway for my kernel.

After switching USB port for the third time the whole process completed successfully.

Installing a fresh Kies copy (I never use it but the usb drivers are there) was something I did even before receiving the phone from the post.

A different solution would be to use 32 bit O.S. because 64bit O.Ses have such problems in other devices as well (a week ago I tried jailbreaking an IPhone 4 and a thousand errors occured while trying to upgrade to 4.3.3. When I installed Itunes in XP everything was perfect and everything was done flawlessly)

So there u have it ppl if you get such error in rooting try switching usb port or use 32 bit operating systems.

S G 2 Rooted (d3l1 - JJEgan thanks for nothing I guess)!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3l1:
With the lack of information you provided there was hardly anything to help you with. So I assumed and started explaining the basics. My fault if it offended you, it wasn't meant that way!

And it's correct to assume a software problem given the very little information in post 1 which mostly is forgetting to end the Kies processes causing Odin to hang/crash.

So maybe you should provide more information as to what can be ruled out, post 1 gives us nothing to rule out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paladin13:
I admit that the information I gave could not make things clear on what my knowledge and my experience is. However if you wanted more info you could ask and I would be happy to provide. Your post was not that offending but the next one was...I found it very upseting asking for help and getting replies like that. Perhaps my lvl was unclear....but someone can always ask. Your post alone wouldnt bother me so much. I guess its the combo with the next one. Anyway no prob mate!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
I am also the Head IT and the man responsible for a group of S.A. companies that have over 250 mobile connections

Thats plastered all over the forum mate though i will agree that you need to use the search button and read a lot of disjointed posts to get a lot of information .

I apologise for putting in print my thoughts that you are an idiot .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paladin13:
You are So pathetic... So my guess is that if from software point of view everything is perfect and u get the yellow COM signal in Odin and u have selected the correct patch for your Kernel and Odin starts fine and freezes at some point in a PC you have rooted several other phones your guess would be the usb port. Send me a CV and I will pass it to my boss so that you can take my job! Looking forward to it!
