Not sure about the Stratosphere... were you actually able to change the MEID and PRL on the Strat, and activate it successfully and get 3G and everything? Just can't extract the keys? I figured you'd need the 16 digit unlock password or whatever to change the MEID, and I have no idea what it is. Actually tried finding it for that phone but couldn't find it.
[Epic 4G General] ron1n541:
I can't get past step 4 in "Flashing the Fascinate." It says BAD SPC. I don't know the 16 digit password. I tried FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. Could the wrong password issue BAD SPC in the DFS log? I didn't get to activate or get 3G or anything. Can't get DFS to get into the phone without getting past the BAD SPC issue. Also noticed it's not a Qualcomm modem, but a VIA one. Does that matter?
[Epic 4G General] justan00b:
As far as I know you can't go anywhere without having the 16 digit pass, you need that to change the MEID... if you can't change the MEID, can't proceed. As for Bad SPC.. I guess the default six zeros 000000 is not the default for the Strat, or your Strat has been changed to something else. The SPC doesn't really matter, because if you have the 16 digit password you can unlock the phone and set the SPC to whatever you want.... and modem shouldn't really matter.

So yeah anyway you're stuck in a deadlock without the 16 digit pass, you could try the fascinate 16 digit pass but I doubt that would work. Sorry man, maybe Google it and see if you can find it anywhere else... try googling "Samsung Stratosphere 16 digit pass" or password, or try to find a guide to change the MEID on the stratosphere and see how they do it.... Good luck, if you figure out anything post back on here

So could I use a modified version of this method to flash an Epic Touch (Galaxy S2) to Verizon Prepaid, using a Samsung Gusto 2 as my donor phone?

Also would I get 3g data speeds on my Epic Touch regardless of the fact that the Gusto 2 is a 1x device?

Would it look something like this?:

Plug in Gusto 2

Plug in Epic Touch

Use DFS to READ Gusto 2 info (MEID, PRL, ESN, etc etc)

Use DFS to WRITE Gusto 2 info TO Epic Touch

Reboot Epic Touch

Power down Gusto 2 and never power on again

Epic Touch now works as VZW Prepaid, WITH 3G data (regardless of the fact that the Gusto 2 is a 1x device)
[Epic 4G General] slickrichierich:
no wont work cuz your not going to pull 3g HA and AAA keys with a gusto 2 its not a 3g phone. your epic touch might say its on 3g data but when you check to see if 3g settings were authenticated it will say FAIL!!

HTC Dinc2

I have a HTC Droid Incredible 2 that was active on Verizon. I'm attempting to use this phone in ST by following this guide. Everything seemed to work fine except for changing the MEID/ESN. I discovered and used the 'open sesame door' method to change those items and, since the new MEID showed up in 'About phone' after a reboot, I believed that the new numbers were there. The new numbers also show up when I read them from DFS. I then activated the phone through ST's website. After several minutes I dialed *22890 and the nice automated voice said the phone had been programmed successfully. Unfortunately, nothing works. No voice calls (in or out), no texts and no data. When I call out I get a Verizon message about an error in processing the call and to power off and on the phone and trying again. If I call my new number from another phone I get a message that the voicemail has not been set up.

My new phone number showed up in 'About phone' and, using DFS, I can see that the new phone number is listed in all of the data strings (##########@vzw.3g.com, etc.). The AAA and HA keys had not changed from what they were when I first read that info from the phone.

I changed the MEID to one from a second LG220C and deleted both the AAA and HA keys to see if that would help. After activating this new MEID, I have the same symptoms and the keys are all zeros. As I understand it, the keys are only needed for 3G, so I must have another issue.

Any ideas on what I might try next?

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] born1690:
I just flashed my girls Epic 4G Touch to Verizon prepaid and everything is working just fine except it is suck on roaming if anyone knows anything let me know something
[Epic 4G General] yanu:
I believe that's just the prl that needs updating. Dialing *22891 should fix it.
[Epic 4G General] born1690:
That didn't work it says updating then hangs up on me. I tried like 10 different PRL but nothing some say not roaming but says I'm on sprint network and no 3G idk I'm deff not giving up & I don't want to waste the donor phone anything els you might think could be wrong??? Or anyone could think of I'll try whatever.
[Epic 4G General] yanu:
HTC Droic Incredible 2

Just in case others are working on this or a similar problem, here's how I got everything working:

In order to get voice/text to work I had to zero out the ESN and MEID by reading items 0 and 1943 (using the 'open sesame door' method) and zeroing them out. I copied them to the desktop, opened them with Winhex, changed them to all zeros, and wrote them back to the phone. After restarting the phone, I wrote ONLY the new decimal MEID to the phone with DFS 4.0.0.3. After writing I read both the MEID and the ESN back and they were correct. Immediately after restarting, both voice and text was working.

I had gotten data working previously by writing a new password to 'HDR AN Long' in the 'Data' tab in DFS. Checking the box next to the password showed me a hex string that I copied from the Fascinate to the Dinc2. Unlike in the data.jpg that is in the file ST_Flash.zip (that is linked from the OP) which shows the password as 'vzw' for all of the items on the left, I had a string of strange characters for both the PPP password and the HDR AN password on the Fascinate after activation. The

only

string I copied over from the Fascinate to the Dinc2 was the HDR AN Long password. That got 3G data working.

I can verify that I now have talk, text and 3G data working on Straight Talk with my Incredible 2.
[Epic 4G General] kilrain:
Alright, so I've completed this successfully on my wifes uscc GS2 using my spare fascinate and everything works flawlessly. But now I've tried to do this on my brothers mesmerizes (2 of them) and one had really slow 3g the other was slow until I tried messing with it and then it quit working entirely. One thing I finally noticed through all this was that the AAA and HA keys are identical to the ones that were originally on the Fascinate, I can only assume that the 10.key is also the same but no way for me to know.

So while I'm pretty sure this is the issue, my question would be, is there a way to fix it or will I have to have another donor meid?
[Epic 4G General] kilrain:
So I'm going to assume that I need new donor MEIDs. Tomorrow I'll be trying again but want to know what I should do to make absolutely sure my Fascinate acquires the new AAA and HA keys. Any suggestions?

Also, if I've already put the PRL and NAM file on the new phones would I still need to use the Fascinate to download the AAA and HA files? I'll probably just start this process over again but thinking it would work the other way. Just asking.
[Epic 4G General] slickrichierich:
here you go
[Epic 4G General] born1690:
Yeah but with this PRL In my about phone It says I am on the sprint network
[Epic 4G General] moparfreak426:
It will. That's part of he ROM not the prl
[Epic 4G General] kilrain:
It's basically saying you're on the home network, not roaming.
[Epic 4G General] born1690:
I'm on stock ROM flashed to Verizon prepaid

---------- Post added at 03:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 AM ----------

So you guys are saying everything is OK even tho it says Home Network Sprint? My 3G isn't working it popped up when I first flashed the phone but after messing with it trying to get roaming out the way it pretty much took 3G away so I'm guessing I need to go head and try reflashing with a new donor phone what do you guys think?
[Epic 4G General] moparfreak426:
OK OK pk... hold on. What did u do exactly?
[Epic 4G General] born1690:
I flashed my sprint Epic 4G Touch to Verizon prepaid everything is working correctly except 3G it was working till i messed with the PRL because i was trying to fix the roaming. It doesn't say roaming anymore with that PRL I used now talk text is working but 3G is not I'm thinking I need to reflash it with a new donor
[Epic 4G General] moparfreak426:
U may not have to do TT. What did u do?
[Epic 4G General] born1690:
What's TT? What I did was connect to DFS and kept trying out different PRL and then 3G stop working but from the beginning of the flash its been stuck on roaming but now since i used that PRL that SLICKRICHIERICH gave to me it now doesn't roam but i cannot get 3G to work it only worked once when i first flashed it
[Epic 4G General] moparfreak426:
So all u did was flash a dif prl? And TT was supposed to be "that" I have a prl to fix the roaming issue....

I think its this one

http://db.tt/YHbi0Iru
[Epic 4G General] born1690:
Well its not roaming anymore the only thing that isn't working is 3G

text message problem

I have an Epic 4G Touch on Straight Talk Verizon Network. Everything works fine except for the inability to receive text messages over 160 characters from carriers other than Sprint. The messages shows up as garbled symbols and must be resent as 2 separate messages to be viewed. I am able to receive text messages within 160 characters and picture messages with Jellybean ROM. But the problem I have now has been a problem with the Stock EL29 ROM and Jellybean. If anyone has an idea for a fix I would really appreciate the help.

Thanks

TJ
[Epic 4G General] born1690:

[Epic 4G General] moparfreak426:

GREAT THREAD!!!

Friday, I'm picking up a Samsung Galaxy S2 that was originally a Sprint phone but has now been flashed to Metro PCS.

I want to flash the phone to Verizon prepaid and I have no donor phones, but Verizon is offering a Samsung Illusion Prepaid for $79.99!

My question is, could I use the Samsung Illusion Prepaid and transfer all the necessary settings to the Samsung Galaxy S2?

I know the Samsung Illusion is a basic smart phone, so in theory, it should work.

I appreciate any and all constructive comments!

Mark
[Epic 4G General] moparfreak426:

[Epic 4G General] tazfanatic:
There is a setting in chat programs to split messages over 160 characters or large messages.
[Epic 4G General] justan00b:
Agreed, I use handsend sms, and I have mine to split text messages by the 160 length or whatever. Its an option in a few of them
[Epic 4G General] dviperbigt:
Can u tell me where to find that option bc I cant find it. Do u know if the stock jb messager has that option?

That option is only for sending not receiving so it didnt fix the problem
[Epic 4G General] moparfreak426:
Gosms..... settings .... oh wait there is no fix for splitting received messages..... so u have to keep receiving garbled text like the rest of us flashed to different carriers
[Epic 4G General] justan00b:
Handcent is under settings, then send message settings, and split 160. Change your setting there if you use that. My stock messenger works fine too though so...shrug

http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1664024-Samsung-16-digit-passwords/page3
[Epic 4G General] Z-Dreamer:
I assume the $80 is to cover the initial cost of the phone and the first 30 days of service.

Unless I'm mistaken, after that you can add $ to your account for longer service, for example add as little as $15 for an additional 30 days of service or add a $100 or more to your account and use it for a year as long as you have data left on the account.

I want to pay less for a donor phone and get my S2 on the Verizon prepaid.

[Epic 4G General] moparfreak426:
80 bucks is just per month. Unlimited talk,txt,1gb data....

Samsung illusion itself last I checked was 169....
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
1st, thanks for the guide! It is awesome! But......

Alright got 3g data (speed 1.5-.5mbps), mms, and calls going on the fascinate, and yes the doner phone was the crappy lg220 or whatever that flip phone is, but when I transferred everything to the epic I can't get the data. I went into ##debug# and the AAA says pass but no ip and I went to evdo status and get an error code 67. I was thinking I should root the epic and get rid of the sprint activation. Do you think that's what the problem is?

Also the dmu, did you keep everything the same? folder=DMU inside is just 10.key? Or did you name it folder=DMU inside dmu.10? Couldn't tell from the guide.

Thanks again! Still working on it and am almost there
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
got all working except mms of course

Alright, finally!!! Got 3g data, call, text working on the epic. Now working on mms. I have a few ideas and will post here if I get it working. What I noticed was the active profile for mobile ip on the epic, there's 3 of them. So I opened qpst service programming and programed all three with the settings from the fascinate with the AAA and HA keys. Also DMU should be folder=DMU in the folder= 10.key for anyone wondering. And the speeds are the same 1.5-.5mbps. Thanks again for the guide!
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
mms notification

alright, sorry for all the posts... Not that this thread is alive anyway. Got the epic to receive notification of the mms, and no not with any mms program, but still can't send or download the pic. The settings are all there in the mmsc, mms and dss. Just need to find a way to put the vzw account type, user name and password in I think. cause if I got it communicating with the mms server then it should be pointed in the right place now I just have to unlock the door. ha ha ha.... I'll only post again if I get the mms fully working as it seems no help from the thread starter or anyone else, greener pastures I guess... Anyway, wish me luck
[Epic 4G General] alnova1:
I'm interested to know if you got it working. I am thinking about trying this but probably stick with a Verizon phone. Been doing Boost for awhile and want to try the ST method.
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
Haven't had a chance to mess with the mms YET

Like I said in the previous post it's my buddy's phone and since everything else is working like a champ I haven't been able to get the phone back. One thing I have noticed is the signal bars go screwy sometimes on her phone when on 3g, Full signal then no signal, but not on wifi. Anyone else get that issue? And no problem, started to panic when I couldn't get the data working so I pm'ed for help but you had already helped with the guide for us noobs.... hahaha... I am hoping to get the phone this weekend and was thinking of swapping out the mms.apk, provisions and .xml file with the one's from my fascinate. But you say you can receive mms? what settings are you using? She gets a notification to dl it but when you click download it thinks for a minute then nothing. If I get the chance to mess with it this weekend I'll let you guys know. As far as everything else the service has been great. Coming from tmob 3g I don't see any difference except in my bill (from like$70 a month down to 43 and some change.. I pay 3 months a a time) and I roll around with full signal a little more often. And I surf the web, use nav, dl app's all day and the only thing I've gotten from st was emails about the 3 months expiring and them wanting me to renew. haha

One other thing i did notice on my fassy that it won't send mms on wifi, has to go 3g not sure what that's about or if that little bit will help with the epic but figured I'd throw it out there.

The www.cdmatool.com/register.aspx link doesn't work to register DFS.

Anyone have another way of registering DFS demo?
[Epic 4G General] ararik:
Thanks a lot for the detailed guide. But I'm somehow stuck at the step of changing the VZW phone's meid to ST meid. I'm using HTC DInc2, and the meid just won't stick to the phone, the DFS shows as if it is writing, but if I read again I'm getting the original meid. I'm using the latest version of DFS 4.0.0.2, so I'm not sure if this is because they have changed the DFS, or I need another phone instead of HTC DInc2? And also I noticed that the little EQF indicator on the DFS status bar is not green, but yellow. Any help will be much appreciated.
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
sounds like ur phone isn't completely unlocked. The spc code isn't enough to repair an meid most of the time. I did an lg optimus and got internet to work using this guide but had to zero out the info using cdma workshop before dfs would write the correct info without the 16 digit code. Dunno about the HTC phone u have but most htc's seem pretty easy to get the code for. Let me know if u get it. And still haven't messed with the mms yet but plan to soon.
[Epic 4G General] etirkca:
S-OFF then use QPST EFS to "open sesame door". ;)

If you're not sure what that means, Google knows all. Or poke around the DInc forum.

I see the vzw phone used was a samsung fascinate. is it best to use a 3g capable vzw phone in order to pull the 3g HA an AAA passwords or will any vzw phone work including a dumb phone?
[Epic 4G General] ararik:
Thanks for tip, got it working finally! The only problem was getting the proper 3g speeds, which worked only after I updated the prl on the Sprint phone to the same as my DInc2 pulled during the OTA from Straight Talk (prl=59281).
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
yes if you want 3g to work. If not then any vzw phone will do. The St doner can be just a "dumb phone"
[Epic 4G General] mjstallion:
I am unable to read the HA/AAA from profile 1 on the Fascinate. It gives me an error.

I was able to read them from profile 0, but putting those passwords into profile 1 on the Epic doesn't get data to work.

Any suggestions?
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
Dunno man, I've been with them for a little while now and stream my radio station all day, surf the web and abuse the nav and haven't gotten any warnings. Just put my wife on St about a month ago and she needs to go to facebook anonymous and refuses to turn wifi on and still nothing.... hahaha
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
I couldn't get the epic to take them with dfs neither. I had to use qpst service programming and put the keys in all three profiles that the epic had active. 0, 1 and 2 but maybe someone else has another answer. I posted what I was going thru in this thread on page 3 I think.

And always back up the original settings just in case something goes wrong.
