GREAT info in this thread, exactly what i was looking for...

Thanks sooo much!

EDIT: 4G is not possible with the Samsung Fascinate (i1500) phone, is it?

Thanks in advance...
[Fascinate General] bbrad:
Nope this phone would be damn near perfect if it did lol
[Fascinate General] dmonleo:
Great thread, thanks!

Will this work with cspire?
[Fascinate General] erics88:
It might if you have a cspire phone you could switch id's with. Does cspire use Verizon's towers?

get a CDMA donor Phone

Hi all,

I'm looking to switch my fascinate to Straight Talk, and from what I read, I can't use the ESN from a Straight Talk GSM phone to clone to my fascinate, and that I would need an ESN from a CDMA Straight Talk donor phone? Right now, Walmart is only offering GSM phones for cheap with a straight talk plan. If I can only use a CDMA phone as an ESN donor, does anyone know where I can get a really cheap straight talk cdma phone?

Thanks,

Sean
[Fascinate General] kalehua4791:
I buy my cdma phones from straighttalk.com......lg220c would do just fine......it comes with the $45 plan included......

Hit thanks if this helped......

K
[Fascinate General] seanatsb:
Thanks, but I don't see the lg220c available on straighttalk.com. The cheapest CDMA phone they have is $30 in addition to the plan. I was talking about the free to $15 dollar range like that Walmart has. Mostly I want to sell my Fascinate after it's activated on StraightTalk so I can upgrade to a better phone. Therefore, I'm trying to get as cheap a donor as possible, so I don't lose money selling my fascinate.
[Fascinate General] kalehua4791:
I just ordered two of them for customer flash about 10 minutes ago.....I don't know where you are going but I open up to where it says buy new phone... I just add the zip code in and then it opens up to let me order the reconditioned lg220c with the $45 plan for about $52 each...as I said I just ordered it so it's like getting the phone for $5 plus the$45 unlimited plan.....

Again if I helped please hit the thanks button............,>>>>>>

K
[Fascinate General] kalehua4791:
For the record this is the one you want to purchase....

K
[Fascinate General] seanatsb:
I did exactly that, but the phone is not available. I live in Philly, and that phone doesn't come up when I put my zip code in. Question though, when you order the phone from straighttalk.com, do you get the $45 activation card with the phone that you can transfer to someone else and activate whenever, or does the the first month of activation go directly through straighttalk without receiving an activation card?
[Fascinate General] kalehua4791:
You get both the phone and the$45 plan for about $52 per phone which includes the shipping.....I posted that answer on the previous page.......

DON'T FORGET TO HIT THE THANKS BUTTON.....>>>>>
[Fascinate General] justan00b:
Can you give what zip code you're using? The phone doesnt show up under my zip too just like the other guy asked. Or give a zip that is similar to yours that has the phone if possible. Thanks man
[Fascinate General] kalehua4791:
My guess is it must be done already...

Oh well it was good while it lasted

K
[Fascinate General] michaelboothe:
i have a new in package lg 220c, but it is an older one packeged as Tracfone. Will this still work for the guide. Or does it have to be the ones that come with the $45 unlimited activation card from straight talk. This one only has 10 Tracfone minutes pre-installed for activation purposes.
[Fascinate General] kalehua4791:
I don't know if it will work I have never tried that one.....but if it's just sitting around and taking up space probably won't hurt to try it out.......

K
[Fascinate General] michaelboothe:
Yeah, I was gonna try it, I just wanted to get some opinions first. Now I just have to find a workable verizon smart phone. I have a Droid x, Bionic, Droid 2, droid 2 global, and the first droid, but I don't know how to use Motorola in this guide. I actually wanted to use the Droid X on straight talk, but because of the way the phone is locked down, I have to go with something else. Has anyone had any success with getting Motorola on ST?

Galaxy S Aviator

I have acquired a US Cellular Samsung Galaxy S Aviator Model SCH-R930. Is it possible to flash this to Net10? I already have a Net10 donor phone.

Thanks
[Fascinate General] beezie42:
I can confirm that this does work with the Verizon gutso prepaid. Only thing is I had to dial ##22898# and then it activated perfectly.
[Fascinate General] netw3rkd:
This will work for almost any CDMA network except net10 and tracfone. I did this for uprepaid with my uscc galaxy s mesmerize. Worked great.

40$ a month unlimited everything :laugh:
[Fascinate General] fenderhss1987:
Would you guys happen to know the 16 digit security code for the Verizon S3 by chance? CDMA WS wont let me change my ESN without it.
[Fascinate General] kalehua4791:
net 10 and Trac phone are the same as straight talk.....I just did my wife's Sprint note 2 to straight talk and found OUT from cust service that they are all the same......it just depends on the area you live.....like I said I just was told this by the representative......

I just did a sprint note 2 for my wife to straight talk and when I opened the box their was a net 10 lg 220c phone sitting in it and I can say it WORKS VERY NICELY just like the rest........

MAKE SURE IT WAS NEVER ACTIVATED BEFORE OR THAT IF YOU BOUGHT IT REFURBISHED IT WAS FROM THE MANUFACTURER.....

Looking for help in flashing my Verizon fassy to straight talk. Any help would be greatly appreciated
[Fascinate General] marcustaz:
Have you read the OP? It's as straight forward as can be. Have you at least tried? What's your question?
[Fascinate General] icemanwbs:
Yes, thank you. I've watched this thread from its beginning. Knowing that I would be using this method. Finally able to escape the evil Verizon grip Lol So now just want to be sure. :thumbup:
[Fascinate General] kalehua4791:
We ALL were there once so if you take it step by step you should come out fine.....JUST SOME EXTRA INFO......SAVE THE FASCINATE INFORMATION SO IF YOU DECIDE TO USE IT AGAIN AFTER YOU PULL ALL THE INFORMATION OFF....JUST FACTORY RESET THROUGH DFS AND USE THE FASSY AS A GO BETWEEN FOR ALL YOUR STRAIGHT TALK FLASHES......again just some free information.......hit thanks or not......lol

Seams the lg220c from Walmart

Are out of stock. Is there another device I can use instead ?
[Fascinate General] kalehua4791:
Any phone from straight talk that ends with a C......it indicates its a cdma phone....the ones that end in G are for GSM. Hole that clears it up for you.....

As always hit the thanks button......

[Fascinate General] icemanwbs:
Just wondering. Was reading on Walmart web site about a STRAIGHT TALK BRING YOUR OWN PHONE CDMA ACTIVATION KIT. $45. Seams this does exactly what is needed without using steps provided in this thread. Any body know of this ?
[Fascinate General] icemanwbs:
Nobody ?
[Fascinate General] icemanwbs:
I am on Verizon......Samsung galaxy fascinate ( first version) and from what I see, it may work. Thanks for your input. :thumbup:

[Fascinate General] marcustaz:
Folks anyone still using their Fascinate on ST having issues with voicemail INDICATOR, not working? Mine used to work but no more. Toggling the voicemail message indicator on/off in my administrative options does nothing. Hoping someone has a solution, please chime in.
[Fascinate General] blakester:
blakester

So all these downloads are on the fascinate??
[Fascinate General] canaanp:
For anyone doubting this I can say that I did this for a friend about 2 years ago but I followed a different guide. I also used a samsung straight talk phone, the r451c I think was the model. This was the cheapest phone that offered 3g. I also used a samsung mesmerize, which is a fascinate but it's us cellular's version. I flashed it to a fascinate then cloned it to straight talk.

Well, nowadays that old phone has been dropped in the creek one too many times. He bought a used mesmerize and asked if I could still do that programming. I kept all the software from last time, but I didn't have a guide so I found this post. I used the DFS and did all my programming there.. piece of cake.

Bottom line, this works.
[Fascinate General] astonmartin214:
Will try

Yea i will try this out & see if it works cause this would be nice to use tho
[Fascinate General] JLawL:
I still use this method constantly to convert friends from Verizon to Straight Talk. I live in Maine, we don't have many areas with 4G anyway. So you save $100 a month by going to Straight Talk and using 3G.

@ whoever asked about voicemail, I've noticed the same thing, although I flash a lot of custom ROMS so it could be that.
[Fascinate General] icemanwbs:
Walmart sells the CDMA version to convert to straight talk....costs the same as buying a phone....about 45...worked flawless for me....got out of icy grip of Verizon. Does throttle data speeds though so that kinda stinks, but worth the savings :)
[Fascinate General] JLawL:
I thought the CDMA kit would only work for non-LTE phones? Or can you still do it but obviously lose your 4G?

I'm upgrading from a Fascinate to a Note III (YESSS!) next month, and will most likely sacrifice 4G and just put it on Straight Talk. The extra data speed isn't worth $100 a month more to me.
[Fascinate General] icemanwbs:
I don't know about LTE... My fassy is 3G
[Fascinate General] JLawL:
Yea, I'm pretty sure the CDMA kit is for non-LTE devices only. But I was just confirming for others that the method posted in this thread does in fact work on ALL CDMA phones. You do however lose 4g and must remain on the less than stellar 3g offered by straight talk. But for $100 less a month its worth the loss in data speed :P
[Fascinate General] douglas12107:
i have a verizon s3 i currently flashed over to straight talk, only problem i have is no data, anyone know how to fix my problem? I've searched everywhere and only thing i can find is people using straight talk at&t sim cards with it, im not capable of using at&t sim due to limited service in my area
[Fascinate General] beezie42:
From the sounds of it you may have not set the aaa ha keys correctly. Did you flash the phone info yourself or have someone else do it?
[Fascinate General] douglas12107:
i flashed it myself, first time doing it and probly my last time lol, anyways out of everything that i've read it dont say anything about aaa ha keys, its just regarding the esn number when flashing with a straight talk phone that has never been activated to straight talk
[Fascinate General] marcustaz:
You need aaa and ha keys, and a few other small tweaks. Google for a guide on flashing a evo to Straight Talk. It was originally on xda but apparently removed but it still is out there.

SPC code for Samsung Facinate SCH-I500

I am trying to flash my I500 to straight talk using the procedure seen earlier in this thread but when it ask for the SPC code I insert 000000 but it tell me that it is invalid. I have 2 of these phones and it happens on both. On is the stock phone from US Cellular and the other I loaded Verizon EH-03. Also on the stock phone "Dial **87284" doesn't work but on EH-03 it does. Do I need to load EH-03 as the first step to remove the US Cellular ROM? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
[Fascinate General] beezie42:
Looks like you need to find out your MSL code. On Verizon i know the regular msl is 000000 but on us cellular it might be different . Im sure there are still guides out there if you google it.
[Fascinate General] lavapit:
Thanks for the reply, I search before but didn't find what I was looking for but after looking some more I actually found it. According to the procedure earlier in this thread I needed the SPC code which I did not know and all defaults did not work. What I ended up doing was follow the procedure up to the start DFS section and then select the port, Send the password, and then in programming tab I selected "Read" under ESN and that also populated the SPC code which was what I needed. I then went back and followed to procedure from start t finish with also changing the SPC code to 000000 along with new MEID number and everything works great.
[Fascinate General] beezie42:
That's awesome! I'm glad it all worked out for you. Sometimes it can be a challenge, but the end results are worth it :) Happy flashing!
[Fascinate General] Mrhunter13:
I have flashed a few Verizon s3 to straight talk its not hard at all and there's really no tweaks u have to do to the phone besides using a donor
[Fascinate General] marcustaz:
A Sprint S3 will work on ST as well using Verizon's towers however there are a few tweaks to get Youtube working off 3G and native voicemail app. Also the Official Verizon message app off the Play Store allows MMS to work on wifi replacing the built in message app.
[Fascinate General] Mrhunter13:
yea the YouTube mod something u have to do get it to work and u really dont need verizon messenger to send mms ...its ways to get the stock messaging app to send it normal u just have to be willing to fix it
[Fascinate General] zQueal:
I used to sell GSM and CDMA phones for a living -- I can tell you from experience that when you do something like this, you need a NEW AND NEVER ACTIVATED PHONE. The networks save previously used phone numbers in-network with all ESN/IMEI/MIN/MEID ect. If not everything matches up, you could be denied certain services. Which would explain why some people get text messages, and others do not, while others will be able to send and receive phone calls, but others cannot.

I'm not sure how so many people found it so difficult to find the DFS CDMA tool, but it's whatever. I've downloaded it from the official site and uploaded it here as an attachment. Follow the instructions and you'll know if it's working correctly when you're able to read information from your phone: http://i.imgur.com/BPxRzUy.png

Additionally, keep in mind, using the pound and star codes only work in official Samsung android roms, not custom roms. You can try for 1,000 years and you'll never get it to work if you're on a custom rom.
[Fascinate General] Unjustified Dev:
The cool thing is none of this works on specific carrier based fascinate vzw , usc , or cspire without issues instead flashing the generic cdma stock fixes this and I was able to fully flash mine to cricket.

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34614-odin-stock-mesmerize-and-showcase-files-multiple-carriers/

Generic cdma showcase in case you wanted to know

You will now get the original samsung dialer codes we all know

8778 usb for modem so dfs can read it

3282 data programming

Issue with those carriers is after it resets the phone restores carrier specific data profile
[Fascinate General] Mrhunter13:
somethings ppl say on here isn't tru about u need a new phone that's never been activated because inhave used reused phones to flash with

help with S3

i have a verizon HTC incredible that is flashed to straight talk can i use it to flash my verizon galaxy s3 to straight talk or do i need to just get a new doner phone thanks for your help.
[Fascinate General] Mrhunter13:
yes and no to that question
[Fascinate General] iroc86nos:
Thanks for your help do i need to have the lg activate first i quit using it and went to a at&t sim with straight talk
[Fascinate General] missing4:
Unactivated phones not necessarily needed...

If you have an old verizon 3g phone you can use the serial number from that instead of using an unused LG220C you just need to register it with straight talk using the byop program. Happy flashing.

HELP

Sent u a PM ®y©e. Thanks
[Fascinate General] Mrhunter13:
its not that hard to get a phone on straight talk
[Fascinate General] PAinguINx:
Ok, to recap...

I'm going to seriously "bump" this thread because out of all 33 or so pages here it is almost impossible to find exactly what you're looking for. So, with that said, could we do a recap so that when anyone comes here again they will know exactly what to do and and on what phone's it will/will not work on?

Also, I have a question, do you have to use DFS or can you use CDMA Workshop as well? I like to be able to backup my NAM 1/NAM 2 Memory in case something goes wrong. Then you can just restore back to your original configuration and all is well...

But anyway, for the recap:

Will this work on ANY Verizon phone? Even LTE devices?

I want to use Straight Talk, can I flash my HTC One (M7) Sprint Variant (or other Sprint device) to ST?

You MUST use a ST CDMA phone setup for use on VZW (Verizon Wireless) correct?

And once again, the correct procedure and programming codes to use again are what?

Thanks guys! If anyone decides to respond to this post in the way that I hope then the next time someone comes to this thread they will not have to scour every single page to find the bits and pieces of info they are looking for. You all know how frustrating that can be right? Lol! I would go through all of these pages and type out the 100% Guaranteed to Work Steps right here and now but I simply do not have the time for that. Hopefully there will be someone here on XDA who does have the time.

And thank you all for the hard work that went in to this thread. I've heard so many rumours about flashing to Straight Talk and this is the only thread that has come close to showing how it can be done... But if it's limited to just one phone that's somewhat of a drawback. Lol!

Thanks in advance guys!

[Fascinate General] 903tex:
anybody with problems figure out a solution?
[Fascinate General] Laserman00769:
nope same problems.... got my samsung still doing the samn things... got texting in and out and i can get calls but not make them..... grrrrrrrr
[Fascinate General] 903tex:
Thats sucks. well did you flash the meid from the straight talk phone to the sammy, THEN activate it?
[Fascinate General] Laserman00769:
yes & yes, but when I go *#06# the old MEID comes up? I have a verizon sch-i500...

this is what i did... i used superoneclick & rooted.. reset..modem mode& usb debugging... DFS tools & changed my MEID to that of my straight talk ... reset.....factory restore .....bypass verizon activation... activated with straight talk *22890 reset.. the *22891 reset....then verizon activation..... I know that my PRL is wrong by one number....it doesnt match my straight talk .....?
[Fascinate General] 903tex:
see i was just going to flash the straight talk phone meid to the fascinate (Before activaton) then just activate my straight talk account online. But i guess your having problems with that as well??? Man i don't know what to say do. Its something small people are missing? Wish OP or somebody that had it successfully working chime in on this!
[Fascinate General] Cheeky_Fink:
I did mine from stock. I don't see why it wouldn't work your way, but maybe the other stuff somehow is messing with it. Also, you shouldn't have anything to do with the Verizon activation, and you should only need one number (*22890, I believe) to activate. After that, it should be good. Dunno why it's trying to do VZW's activation if you're bypassing it.

That's what you need to do. First time, I tried it with an ST MEID that was already activated, and it wouldn't work. You may wanna just wait til the others here get theirs straightened out though, so you know what NOT to do.
[Fascinate General] Laserman00769:
word.... I love this place....
[Fascinate General] Laserman00769:
well i bypassed it by vol up1 vol down2 vol up3 vol down 4 & bypassed, then i used *22890 & *22891 roaming.. i still only get full texting and incoming calls..

i used verizons activation thinking i needed to .... but with it or without useing verizons activation it still does the same thing......

do u think it was because I used SuperOneClick & rooted?:confused:

---------- Post added at 07:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

do u mean stock verizon ? I thought mine would be stock with doing a factory restore and formatting my phone would do this.....

ive done this now 4 times with different steps and still get the same results....
[Fascinate General] 903tex:
I just ordered the phone. Ill let yall know how this goes when phones gets here!
[Fascinate General] 903tex:
Ok for those having problems try this and see if this works:

1. get a another straight talk phone for cheap! (CDMA)

2.Switch the new straight talk phone to your account(may have to call them idk yet)

3. Do a Factory reset on the fascinate!

(if you already flashed good esn to fascinate then skip # 4)

4. Flash the esn from the lg 220(or whatever cdma phone your flashing) to the Fascinate"

5. Bypass activations screen, tap each corner of the screen, starting from the top left corner and go clockwise.

6. Then wait about five minutes, call straight talk, and switch your esn back to the "Straight Talk Fascinate"

5. And then do a *22891 Updated your prl

6. then do a *22890 to program your phone

Eveything should work and let me know if this fixed your problem.

You can get a app on the market and blacklist those number to keep them from text messaging you.

Also how are your 3g speeds?
