Ok buy a simple ST or VZ prepaid phone whichever service you prefer. Now your looking for the cheapest one you can find. walyword has them for as little as $15. These phones will be very simple dumbphones but the only reason you will need it is for its MEID. You wont even need to open the box the phone is in since the MEID is usually printed on the box. Now you take that MEID and write onto a VZ smartphone like the Samsung Fascinate. then you go thru the activation process via the website or by calling customer service. once your Fascinate is fully active you should have a fully working Fascinate with 3g data. Now your going to take that Fascinate and write in over to the Epic or whichever phone you want to use by following the tutorial.
[Epic 4G General] Viper32:
Yeah already done that when first flashed, just will not send or receive mms messages, regular texts work fine........ if I use GoSms everything works fine, go figure and I am not changing any settings.....

But not sure what it is with the PRL you linked it fixed all the roaming issues... Is it modded or something?

Viper
[Epic 4G General] slickrichierich:
ok put the phone in airplane mode and restore the apn again and then turn airplane mode off airplane mode. It should work ive done it to several evos. also make sure you have working 3g data. if its not working try to reset the phone that should bring the phone back to its original apn settings then then restore the apn again. NO the prl is not modded its just a ST apn and found it worked great on VZ
[Epic 4G General] Timothy08:
when i go to debug menu and look at data status and i say 1x and last error code 89?
[Epic 4G General] slickrichierich:
then your not on 3g and most likely the issue to your mms
[Epic 4G General] Timothy08:
well it clearly says 1x that means EDGE not 3g but i used the password and stuff from the prl.rar and it dont work it gives me the error code 89
[Epic 4G General] slickrichierich:
make sure you wrote the 3g passwords correctly and if they didnt stick use qpst service programming to write them again
[Epic 4G General] Timothy08:
well the problem is i dont have the 3g password i just want to get 1x
[Epic 4G General] slickrichierich:
oh in that case your set. not sure if mms text will work correctly but if everything else works then thats the best your gonna get
[Epic 4G General] Timothy08:
no not 1x but someone posted on here about use vzw as all password? even to get 1x

DFS EQF will not go green

I am having the same problem as you. Can i get the steps that you took to get dfs EQF green.

I can read the MEID BUT IT WILL NOT WRITE THE ST MEID TO THE EVO.
[Epic 4G General] Viper32:
I tried all that same thing, no working mms with stock messaging apk. I am using a mikg rom (latest one) on the evo not sure if that matters but it a sense 2.1/3.0 hybrid Rom. I just cannot undertand why gosms works and not stock msg apk. I did notice that the stock messaging apk has the below connection settings you could input, but I am not sure what to put in there...

[Epic 4G General] watt19:
need help with changing meid to st meid

I tried changing my evo meid\esn by doing this

Changing the MEID... In DFS, go under the Programming tab, then the General tab, go ahead and enter the DEC for your ST MEID, and hit write MEID (Make sure to save your evo MEID if you want)

but the QFS IS YELLOW AND NOT GREEN, so it will not write ST MEID\ESN TO EVO

DFS states that the phone is unlocked and it reads the phone but can't write.

The evo 4g is not listed in my list of devices.

I read about using the open sesame door route but I do not have a "0" or "1943" file in the num folder.

Make a folder called "open sesame door" in the root directory of the phone.

Restart your phone and connect to it again the same way. This time, the "nvm" folder will be unlocked in EFS Explorer.

Open the "nvm" folder and copy the "0" and "1943" files to your computer. The file named "0" contains your flipped ESN, and the file named "1943" contains your flipped MEID.

Change the ESN/MEID to whatever you like (make sure it's flipped) in the files and copy the files back to the phone. Restart the phone, and you're good to go!

Note: A "flipped" ESN or MEID means that the ESN or MEID is reversed in groups of two. For example, if your phone's MEID were A1000012345678, it would become 78 56 34 12 00 00 A1 when flipped. The same applies for the ESN.

Can someone help me. Thanks
[Epic 4G General] Viper32:
Guys changing the meid is a pain, you would be much better off buying a copy of cdma workshop like I did, this makes it easier, especially on HTC devices......

Viper
[Epic 4G General] slickrichierich:
you need to use qpst 2.7 build 366 for the open sesame method. Yes Paid version of CDMA is easier but not cheap
[Epic 4G General] watt19:
Yes, I was using qpst efs explorer. But what files do i look for?
[Epic 4G General] slickrichierich:
make sure your using build 366 any other build will not work
[Epic 4G General] watt19:
Thanks, I was able to get the files edited to the st meid. I then flashed the st prl and rebooted the phone.

I dialed the *228 to do the ota activate and I am getting a verizon wireless and now on hold for rep. Is this correct?
[Epic 4G General] Timothy08:
i heard there was a website FlashMyDroid.com did anyone hear of this they said they have the verizon aaa shared secret??/
[Epic 4G General] dongatta:
No that should be *2280 I think. Someone correct me if I am wrong
[Epic 4G General] slickrichierich:
*228, *22890,
[Epic 4G General] watt19:
Thanks guys, I need to call st first and activate the st meid and set up account, also ported my sprint number. After I hung up, I then dialed the *228 and the evo programmed some information.

I am now at the part of writing the profile if I ota do I need the aaa and ha secret

profile. I set everything but that. Do I have to wait for the number to port?

I call the 611 and I get a message to call the 800-353-1842. I googled on net and it is the straight talk customer service number.

I did the profile using the following plus the op pics that he had.

Open up QPST--QPST Configuration

Click on "Add New Port..."

Select the port your device is on

On the next screen highlight your device.

Click on "Start Clients--Service Programming"

Click 'Read From phone" When the prompt pops up click

"OK"

Now tab over to "M.IP"

In the drop down below that says simple ip+Mobi

change that to "Simple IP"

Now double click on "Profile 2"

In the "NAI" section put your phone number@vzw3g.com

In the "tetheredNAI" section put your phone

number@dun.vzw3g.com

For the IP Address put 255 all the way across for the

last two sections and leave the 0's in the first

section

Click OK

Now click on "PPP config"

Click "Um"

In the box that says "User ID"

Enter your phone number@vzw3g.com

Click in the box that says "Tethered NAI"

Enter your phone number@dun.vzw3g.com

Click in the box that says "Password"

Enter "vzw"

Click the "AN" tab

User ID is your phone number@vzw3g.com

Password is "vzw"

Click "write to phone"

Phone will reboot, if not power it down then reboot

it.

Next......

Connect to wifi

Open market

Search for "APN Backup and Restore"

Open APN and click

Backup APN's

Now put your phone in "airplane mode"

Click "delete apn's"

Click "restore apn"

Select page plus apn from below

Disable Airplane Mode

Reboot

And thats it your fully flashed with MMS, Talk, Text,

3G
[Epic 4G General] Timothy08:
page plus apn? where is that
[Epic 4G General] watt19:
just replace that with st apn. nevell stated that the guide would be the same.
[Epic 4G General] Timothy08:
i cant get 3g or 1x with CM9 why?
[Epic 4G General] watt19:
I can connect the lg 220 c to the computer and see the com port but qpst can't add the port. How do you unlock the usb port fr the lg 220c?
[Epic 4G General] watt19:
Could I use Verizon LG VX10000 to get the secret keys for the 3g to work on my evo for st?
[Epic 4G General] moparfreak426:
this might be dumb but i dont have the apn as a file to use in apn back up restore..... i have a samsung epic 4g touch i flashed to page plus. i need help getting internet and probably mms to work. any help would be greatly appreciated. since very limited internet access, i wud post my cell number but idk if that is legal on here. if not pm me and i will get to u sometime within the next day
[Epic 4G General] Timothy08:
ok i just transfered my phone over to a samsung precdent and when i was talking to the person when i had the lg 220c they said they will have to port my number. so sprint is on straight talk... so my question is can i use my epic 4g since its sprint???
[Epic 4G General] Alienx15:
Does anybody know how to change the DMU MN Auth on the Evo????? I have talk and text working i just need data
[Epic 4G General] nightzun:
I have a couple questions before attempting this flash.

I will be using my Evo 4g that is currently flashed to boost. With boost I have the international calling plan. Straight talk has international calling plan as well. When buying the lg220c will they ask me what plan I want or will I be stuck with the $45 unlimited plan only? Ive briefly read through the website and they seem to be only offering the international plan to specific phone models only. What is my best option here? I really want to flash my evo to straight talk but also want the international plan.:confused:
[Epic 4G General] moparfreak426:
Pretty much, phone dies not write ha or aaa keys fir me, just resets
[Epic 4G General] moparfreak426:
Sprint epic 4g touch. Got aaa and ha keys from jbgtenn and he hit my data and mms working.... But I can receive mms but I can't send starkly. No one gets mine...... Used qpst and dfs and couldn't get keys to write. Team viewer and shared my Sammy with jbgtenn and he finally got keys to write (so grateful, thanks man) but I can't send mms. Says I do but no one receives them
[Epic 4G General] Alienx15:
Am i throttled? first day i got data working i got 1.5 mbps down. but now all i get is 100 kbs dl and upload is 1 mb? our do i need to rewrite keys? and the 3g icon stays there lightsup and everythin no 1x. And everybody i c with evos on Verzion Prepaid with full 3g data are running CM9 Should i switch to it to get full speeds?
[Epic 4G General] dongatta:
Idk but I am in the same boat. IM running stock rooted and my data speeds are similar to my boost speeds. Thought it was gonna be faster

It was at da start now it just sux.

I'm stuck on step 4 (the second step 4 haha). What is an SPC? I'm trying this on a Droid 2, it has no SIM card so I shouldn't need any 16 digit code or whatever from what I've read. I tried 000000 and it said "Bad SPC Value - unlock failed". Any help?

Edit: Also I don't know if it matters, but the Droid 2 is not activated on Verizon anymore.
[Epic 4G General] moparfreak426:
If you factory reset and its not activated on an account the spc should be 000000 other than that to get spc, good vol down and power and then find bp tools hit up and not sure after that
[Epic 4G General] slickrichierich:
Your better off getting another verizon phone thats not a motorola cuz its too hard to repair the esn on those phones
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
Tried the droid2. And it is locked up tight. No way I could find to do anything to the meid. You can flash it to a carrier like cricket, they will take the meid as is and the phone is fairly easy to program for their service. I think you might be able to program it to a couple others if you hate cricket but from all the research I did St is a no go for d2. The spc code won't let you repair the meid, you need the 16 digit code but vzw and moto aren't sharing... hahaha.. Let us know if you have any success.

my fassy on straight talk
[Epic 4G General] moparfreak426:
Page plus also takes meid as is too.
[Epic 4G General] FutureAirways:
Hey guys so i managed find some drivers that worked, and wrote the dec (esn) in dfs but when i re-read the esn, it doesnt stick? Has anyone had this problem or know what i can do for the numbers to stick??
[Epic 4G General] slickrichierich:
gonna have to use the "open sesame door" method
[Epic 4G General] FutureAirways:
Oh that sounds fun, ill research it but leads links would be nice

I was finally able to get the 3g working on my evo.

I got an lg dare for $20.

I then then unlocked it and copied the 10.kry file to my computer.

I looked for the ha&aa secrets but it did not have any at first.

i tried to change the esn to the st and loaded the prl.

I tried the *228 and it was taking me to a rep, so i knew the esn did not take.

I keep playing around and could never get the esn to change but looked at the aaa&ha secrets again.

Too my surprise, the keys were now filled in.

I wrote down the keys and connected my evo.

I copied the 10.key file and put in the aa&ha info, plus other profile info since it had changed.

After reboot, the 3g showed up.

I did not have to activate the lg dare but just took the 10.key file and the aaa ha from it.

Thanks to op for guide to get me started.
[Epic 4G General] dongatta:
How are your data speeds
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
Both the fassy and epic run about this consistently....

my fassy on straight talk
[Epic 4G General] dongatta:
Speeds used to be a lot faster. Idk what they changed
[Epic 4G General] moparfreak426:
After flashing to a different carrier is it safe to flash ics roms on it without having to Reenter all your profile info, prl, ha and aa keys?
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
Was on the fascinate. On the epic, I did root and flash a different rom without issue but haven't tried the ics roms yet.

my fassy on straight talk
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
Well for me the speed hasn't changed much since I've been on st. Its always ran between 1.5mb-400kb. But it has seemed like I've dropped a few more calls. Maybe vzw is doing it so st doesn't take all their business...... hahahahahahaha

my fassy on straight talk
[Epic 4G General] dongatta:
I have noticed signal going in and out
[Epic 4G General] dzl:
I'm confused at the point of having the donor phone. If you can change the ESN/MEID and PRL on the Epic, then why not just activate using the Epic? I could see maybe if you get a phone that is not EVDO capable, but really doesn't much any modern CDMA phone have EVDO?
[Epic 4G General] jthree2001:
1st I'd like to start off by saying thank you so much for the Tutorial!!! I flashed a friends phone using it but I used a enV touch as a donor phone, I didn't know it wouldn't give me the AAA and HA keys but everything else seems to work, I'm pretty happy atm. Just have to find a new donor phone that isn't Motorola (found that out the hard way). -_-

Edit:Also the epic I'm working with is running CM9 that shouldn't be a problem right?
[Epic 4G General] watt19:
I keep losing the 3g connection and have to do the *228 til I get it back. What do I need to do to keep the 3g working?
[Epic 4G General] moparfreak426:
Can you flash a ROM such a shadow God's universe ROM and still have ha and aa keys on phone without having to reenter them? That was the biggest pain ever due to only having slow internet everywhere... Including McDonalds and cuz I couldn't get them to stick thru qpst or dfs... Had to get jbgtenn to teamviewer, comm port over internet so he could get my phones files and junk and after many attempts my laptop was at 9% battery and it finally went all the way, rebooted and sweetness!.. I want to try ics and universe looks cool.... I'm on 2.3.6 GB el29 rouge kernal..... Flashed to page plus so similar to straight talk
[Epic 4G General] slickrichierich:
try a different prl
[Epic 4G General] watt19:
I am using prl 59289. I went back into the setting with dfs and corrected some mistakes. I will see if this helps. Thanks

HI, Also I'm having problems with the LG phones pulling the HA and AAA keys. I used an enV touch and a Dare and I'm having no luck, if anyone has some tips, I would really be thankful.

Got this to work on my virgin mobile evo 4g. Can't get mms to work. Also found a few was to do some steps real simple.
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
Alright, got mms fully working and stable with the link on the first post. The process was pretty simple. Anyone not getting mms build.prop changes seem to be the answer. Also flashed the new aopk ics and installed a new internal antenna and cable and now have a stable signal. For those with the signal bars that run from zero to full and back you may think of ordering a new antenna and cable. 35 bucks on line and only 8 screws and its like a new phone. Phone works great with all the changes. It runs almost as good as my fassy... hahaha.

Verizon prepaid customer service is great. ST's customer service is poor... it is worth the extra 5 bucks.
[Epic 4G General] moparfreak426:
Ok. I flashed to page plus. Almost just like straight talk, uses VZW towers and such. I have full working 3g data, I can recurve mms but can't send and messages over 160 characters are gibberish. Is there a fix?

EDIT.... I tried dialing ##data # editing mscc URL to http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=7738542010 but it cuts it off at mms after I reboot.....
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
I agree st's customer service is a little lacking but I don't care about that. With prepaid, customer service rep's are pointless imho. But if anything goes south with this setup I would go to either vzw prepaid or cricket.

I am running 00002 prl. I paid some one to flash my phone so I dont know if all the programming is right. My 3g is working but really slow I have speed tested and the most I have seen is 130k. So my guess is it is running on 1x and showing 3g bc I am not rooted on el29 so it wont show 1x. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So i want to do this flashing process to my Evo 4g. i read the instructions, but i dont understand why i need both a verizon and st. phone? can the verizon phone be used off of ebay? im trying to spend as little as possible.
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
Read, read, read..... justan00b explains why on the 1st page. You need the vzw phone for the ha & aa keys as well as the dmu.10 folder. The vzw phone needs to be an evdo rev A data phone. The St phone is the doner.. and your evo is the end product. I bought a fascinate off eBay in like new condition for 80 bucks and ended up just doing the fassy for myself once all the phones I needed to do were done. All and all I paid 85 for the St phone and the fassy. Not bad considering I have been saving over 40 a month and added a line of service.

my fassy on straight talk
[Epic 4G General] douellette:
yeah but can the vzw phone be a used one or does it have to be new? and also, once i pull those numbers off it does that then render BOTH donor phones useless, never to be used again or could i resell them?

im already $100 into my evo so far, ($50 for the phone, $50 for a new lcd/screen)
[Epic 4G General] douellette:
sorry i didnt see it in the first post, thats why i joined the forum. cause this is the ONLY guide i can find that actually tells how to go to straight talk.

thanks for the input tho, helps alot.

are any of the cheap phones 3g? (like non-smartphones) or just androids and other smartphones, just trying to buy as cheap a phone i can
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
I agree, the only guide I could find and the dude that started the thread is cool and way willing to help.... all android phones are smart phones. U can find tons of cheap ones on the net. My suggestion though is make sure u can FULLY unlock the phone in order to do what's needed. That's why in the end I just hunted down the fassy. U can find a cheap one that is pretty beat up but functional on eBay for around $40. Cheaper than paying someone to flash it even if you add your $100 in. $140 and u have a good phone on good service for cheap. The only thing cheaper than that is free... good luck, let us know how it goes.
