OK this is the problem I'm having with my E4GT on ST. I can't add my pin because it says I need to download programming codes to my phone.

When I try to add it online my donor device I used says "This phone has a pending transaction. Please click here to clear the transaction pending status."

When I click it, it sends 2 text to my phone with numbers that looks like a link. When I click it, it calls the number and says "Welcome to Verizon Wireless"

I called ST and they said that they need to send the programming codes to my phone.

Anybody else have this problem?
[Epic 4G General] justan00b:
I've heard of this before, people on howard forums and elsewhere refer to it as "air tank", and it actually happened once before to me. Basically using any donor straight talk verizon phone meid, the phone actually has a built in Prepaid menu in the phone which I guess syncs to your account, like to say how much minutes you have left or whn it expires etc, you can also add a pin through the prepaid menu. But anyway, I have no idea what triggers it if its random or so often or what, but I guess something on straight talks end detects the prepaid portion hasn't been synched with them, and since you're using a donor meid that should have the prepaid stuff it triggers a flag of pending transaction on your account. But yeah while it shows pending transaction you can't add a pin or anything. What I had to do was turn off my flashed phone, turn my donor on, *22890 it, and call them from another line, and they'll have you enter some long numbered codes in the prepaid menu of the donor to force it to sync with them or something and clear the message...of course after that I had to completlely reflash because activating my donor screwed up my flashed phone of course... so you could probably call them and try to get it cleared or try to buy a new donor and see if that will work, then go on the straighttalk.com/activate page and choose the 2nd option of transfer service from one ST phone to another.. but yeah like I said I had the same thing happen once, its a pain but you can get through it... or if you can figure out something else to get around it, good luck! I even tried manually submitting a pin, editing the html of the page and submitting a new pin to extend my service anyway even though it gave that error, but it wouldn't work... but yeah post back what you end up doing

Air tank thread off howard forums.... gotanmp3 talks about it a few posts down: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1749496-Verizon-and-Sprint-phones-on-Straight-Talk
[Epic 4G General] Nevell:
This is the second time its happened to me. So I'll need a Verizon phone to flash to ST from now on then instead of Sprint?
[Epic 4G General] justan00b:
Ah man that sucks... I mean no matter what phone you're flashing to ST, as far as I know all of the straight talk verizon donor phones have the prepaid menu/"air tank" software, so if you're using one of them for your meid to flash with, you have a chance of getting that pending transaction error and having to do some crap to get around it since the prepaid stuff on the phone isn't synching to straight talk (since you're not using the actual donor with the prepaid menu/software obviously its not gonna sync or whatever is going on)

...hopefully that makes sense. 1am and I've had a few to drink so yea.. :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G General] mlaws90:
I have a sprint S3 and a really old verizon palm treo 650. But I do not see a MEID only, ESN DEC, ESN, S/N, FCC ID, IC, and 1 unlabeled barcode. I am willing to buy a phone but want to see if this works. And it cost 5 anyways with the unlimited 30-day plan.
[Epic 4G General] justan00b:
I heard the Sprint galaxy s2 (epic 4g touch) and the new galaxy s3 has the same 16 digit pass as the epic so you should be able to change/repair the MEID on that and get it flashed if that is true... as for your old VZW palm treo, do you even know how to connect it to the PC over diagnostic mode and access it in DFS/Cdma workshop/etc to do all the flashing? (if it is even possible to do that for the palm). Like I have in the first post you need to be able to do the following. If you don't know how, then good luck...

Q: What other Verizon phones can I use?

A: You should be able to use any Verizon 3G phone to extract the HA AAA and DMU10 keys IF you can do the following on your phone:

1) Put phone in diagnostic mode and access it on your PC over COM port using DFS/Cdma WS/QPST/etc

2) Unlock phone using current SPC and or 16 digit password if applicable

3) Change SPC, MEID, and PRL on your phone

4) ...should be it, as long as phone works and you can use it to program all those settings as well as read the settings back, and dial the *22890/*228 number to activate on Verizon/StraightTalk

If you want to use a Verizon phone other than the Fascinate then you need to figure out how to do all the above for your specific phone, so search XDA, howard forums, etc. Obviously its not the same for each phone...
[Epic 4G General] QuarantineSys:
Awesome thread, I haven't read the entire thing, but am in the process...

I have an Epic 4g that I love but hate sprint, not currently activated. Currently using the Samsung Precedent on straight talk. Is there any way to clone the necessary info from the precedent to the epic and be done with it? Don't care about the precedent if I can get my epic back up and running...
[Epic 4G General] justan00b:
You would need to copy the 3g settings to include data keys/shared secrets/etc, as well as PRL, MEID/ESN, and activation from your precedent to your Epic using DFS/CDMA workshop/etc... similar to in this guide, how I explained putting the fascinate in diag mode and copying all the settings from it to the Epic, you need to do that with your Precedent and copy it to your Epic... https://www.google.com/search?q=Samsung+Precedent+diagnostic+mode check first result.
[Epic 4G General] QuarantineSys:
OK, so essentially I'm combining your steps from the VZW phone and ST phone to pull the necessary info from my precedent and flashing that over to the epic? I assume since the precedent has everything it needs to get 3G on ST(sprint) that it will have everything I need to get the epic on ST(sprint) and get talk/text/data with 3G? Is that correct?

Appreciate your help!

EDIT: Also can I do this with the precedent deactivated or does it need to be activated with ST at the time? Should I wait for it to run out of time, then do the clone, then reactivate with the epic?
[Epic 4G General] pthomas1991:
Would you be able to use the Samsung Proclaim as a VZW donor phone and ST donor? I am asking because of the air tank software that comes with most of the cheap VZW flip phones messes up the activation/transaction process. So, I wanted to know if the Proclaim comes with the air tank software or not?

EDIT: Well the Proclaim does cost $180, so I don't really see the point in this unless you really want to have ST. You could get VZW prepaid for $50 unlimited everything. Just have to buy a cheap VZW prepaid to use as a donor. I don't know if the cheap VZW prepaid phones have a similar "air tank" software on it though.
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
The air tank software doesn't come into play for activating the phone but can freeze your account from renewing your minutes. You absolutely need a St doner for the phone info and later if St freezes the acct for unfreezing, they use the stupid airtank software to check the phone. And I believe justan said something about it in one of his recent posts and how to unfreeze the acct. As far as using a cheap vzw prepaid or St phone, depends on which service you want. If you want vzw use their phone, if you want the same service for a little less use the St phone. As far as needing a vzw phone for the ha & aa keys, any phone that is evdo rev a and can be fully unlocked to swap info will do.

[Epic 4G General] pthomas1991:
Thanks for the explanation. Yeah Justan did say how to workaround the air tank problem, but it seems like a lot of work to clear up the air tank issue. I was thinking since the Proclaim is a smartphone and not a feature/basic phone it wouldn't have the air tank prepaid menu, but I guess I am wrong.

I have the HTC Evo 4G LTE running on Verizon prepaid and so far, call quality is great and 3g is not bad. but there a few issues.

The most annoying thing is that my signal bars drop like hell. It goes from 2 bars to 4 to 5 then to 3 and bacl to 2 and then 4 and its just not stable and I think the phone not being on native network is trying to pull down the best signal and i think its hammering my battery life. Anyone know a fix? will a simple flash or radio firmware fix this? I can be outside in full coverage area and i have 1 bar or sometimes none (but still able to call and send texts)

The second things is about the data. 3g sometimes falls and 1x kicks in and even if im in a 3g area, 1x stays and 3g wont work until I restart the phone. And sometimes 3g does work but for some odd reason the little up arrow stays highlighted and the down doesnt light up so nothing downloads. IS there any fix to that too?

I came from an LTE AT&T device and i did this to save money and have a great phone but i did spend some money and truthfully, these little things are a little annoying and i didnt think they were going to be that annoying. I spent a descent amount of cash for the service, the phone and all but this can be reason enough to sell the Evo LTE and get a galaxy nexus unlocked and run it on straight talk and have HSPA+ and no weird signal fluctuation killing battery.

Has anyone here been successful using the LG 200c phone linked in the first post?
[Epic 4G General] slickrichierich:
Try copying the same data settings to each data profile. also if your using the EVO LTE make profile 1 your active profile. Not sure if this will help but it has for me.

hello, I am really hoping to flash my SPRINT EPIC 4G GS2 over to straight talk...Im extremely confused by the explanation on how to do it...have no idea where to start....I have a LG220C from straight talk with a 45 dollar plan I have CDMA workshop 2.7 and OPST... Would be really awesome if someone could make a video on a how to on this....cuz ive read over n over n over and im so frustrated that im ready to say **** it and use this stupid LG220C (but i really dont wanna) **** can anyone help me out?!?!
[Epic 4G General] justan00b:
The instructions are pretty step by step.... soo, what step are you stuck on? You said you have QPST and CDMA WS, did you get DFS like the instructions mentioned? Do you have a verizon fascinate or another similar verizon phone? What are you frustrated with? gotta be specific man or no ones gonna be able to help you out :(

If you're this confused by the step by step instructions maybe you should just pay for a flashing service
[Epic 4G General] tookie_thepit:
No i do not have a verizon phone, but you said i can get talk/ text with out it...then on the next line you start talking about turning on the VZW phone...and no i dont have DFS thats a program i need to dl as well?!?!

Keep trying you will get it.

if you dont use a vzw phone you get talk text and possibly 1x. you can only get your HA & AAA KEY FROM A VZW PHONE FOR 3G.

alright thats kinda what i was thinking, so if i were able to obtain a verizon phone and get the AA and AAA codes ill still be able to connect to my data correct

can't get data on fascinate

i'm using verizon prepaid itself instead of page plus. i cant seem to get data working. talk and text works fine, just no data.

i've tried factory resetting the fascinate, then activate, then update roaming and still not data.

my MEID donor is samsung gusto2.

is anyone else trying to do the same and successfully getting data?

question:

is it the first time OTA where all the keys are pulled? meaning if i factory reset the fascinate and reactivate it wont pull the keys again?

i have the DMU file & folder and the HA and AAA keys, i just wonder if they are the correct keys.

also i'm trying to flash my sprint galaxy s3 instead of the epic.

Lost my data getting error code 67

My evo was working fine up to last night when I renew the phone.

I renewed online and thought everything was ok because after I payed for the service I *228 to reactivate and I saw the 3g icon but did not make any calls because it was late at night.

I get up this morning and I am now getting the error code 67.

I checked evrything in the phone and the aaa and ha codes are there and I rewrote them and reactivated but can't call out. The account on line is active and payed for. I done the *228 a number of times but it is not working.

Any ides? :(
[Epic 4G General] MajorCinema:
*228 is for it to program the phone. What it have done was programmed to how should be for the donor you used. Set it to simple IP in qpst. That should fix the error 67. Then let me know.
[Epic 4G General] ravious:
Question:

You said that "if this is the first time the donor is activated..."

What if its not the first time the donor id has been used? Say im upgrading from an evo..

I have the HA & AAA keys.. but.. The e4gt don't seem to be allowing them to be written.

And i keep getting.. "Authentication code could not be verified." on voice.
[Epic 4G General] MajorCinema:
its either one or 2 things you need to change the prl or you need to make sure all information is right far as profiles and nams. (mdn, min, nv items and so on)

so go back over the steps and see if anything is out of order.
[Epic 4G General] watt19:
I changed the ha and aaa back and that seem to have fixed the error 67 but I still have no data.

I did the ##33284# and my an/aaa is failing.

In the -QPST Configuration under "PPP config" under the "AN" tab

in the User ID is my phone number@vzw3g.com but the

Password is blank. I tried to write the vzw but it is not sticking.

Is the phone suppose to be set to simple ip or mobile ip like the op guide states.

What is the latest st prl and where can I get it? I have prl 59299 per dfs cdma tool.

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@dun.vzw3g.com

in Mode section:

RevAMFPA

EVDO_Rev0

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

I got evo almost back working but have question about cdma settings.

I called straight Talk tech support and had them do a reset on the account.

I got my texting back. I changed another setting back and the 3 g came back and I am passing aaa authentication, but I still can not make calls.

In QPST under the cdma tab for one and two is the directory number and the imsi the same. Your phone number.

For me on the cdma the imsi is a different number and i keep getting unable to authenticate your phone with that setting.

I change it to my phone number and reboot, I get an operator about making a collect call or purchase a pin now. So it is a setting that is keeping me from calling out now.

Aslo under the UMTS tab, can someone verify their Preferred settings for me.

It seem like the last time I refilled it gave me a another number.

I asked the straight talk tech if my account was authenticating to my number, so i don't know.

I have 3g working and texting but can't make calls. Please any ideas.

Hey question about dmu ha & aaa donor phone:

Can you reuse the Verizon dmu donor? I mean when you flash the dumb phone donor to the Verizon donor those keys will change with every new MEID right? Is it possible to just use the same verizon smart phone donor as a decoder ring so to speak to get new ha, aaa keys? Or is it just a one time deal?
[Epic 4G General] justan00b:
Yeah... ummm I don't really follow what you're trying to ask. Maybe you're asking something like this, if not rephrase your question and I'll try to help: For example, if I'm running some sort of flashing service and have a Verizon Fascinate (smartphone) to pull the ha,aaa etc keys from the donor MEID on first activation, yes you can use that Verizon Fascinate over and over and over. If you set a fresh donor MEID on the fascinate that has not been activated before, and you activate the fascinate, it should pull the keys and all the settings every time... if you're asking something completely different rephrase your question and ask again.
[Epic 4G General] zen_phones:
Yes that's exactly what I was asking for! Thanks again justanoob.

I thought it was a one time use for the fassy. That maybe the keys were tied to the phone, which didn't make sense since esn's and MEID change. So ya u answered it :o:thumbup:
