I have the same question as douellette, which was not actually answered by justan00b. The question was whether BOTH phones are rendered useless. Assume first, the person will be setting the Verizon phone's MEID back to its original after doing the deed. The ST donor phone is as good as trash, however the Verizon phone should be usable once again with its original MEID... or should it???

Note the following: SWIM compared the binary content of the 10.key file before and after the MEID change, and before and after the new activation, and confirmed it was the same in all cases. Therefore, the 10.key file on the Epic ST phone is (and will always be) the same 10.key file on the Verizon donor phone. Does anyone know if this is actually a bad thing? Can someone explain the exact purpose of the 10.key file, and whether it's intended to be unique to the

phone model

,

individual phone

, or

individual subscriber

? If SWIM were to legitimately reactivate the Verizon phone (with the same 10.key file that the Epic phone on ST now has), what sort of ramifications would that have?

Similarly, would SWIM be able to activate multiple Epic phones on ST using the same Verizon donor phone (assuming the Verizon donor phone is reset to its original MEID before each activation)? Bear in mind that all of those Epics would have the same 10.key file.

EDIT: I saw one post elsewhere in my googlings that suggests 10.key is global for the carrier, and that it has nothing to do with the phone or account. I would buy that hypothesis. And if that's the case, then there's no downside to reusing the Verizon donor phone, provided you change the MEID back to its original first.

You would assume correct in most cases. Sometimes there's some weird stuff at work that just won't let it work
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
You should read more carefully.... my post justan was referring to I clearly state that I used my 1 fassy to do 3 phones at that time. I've done a few more with this very phone I'm using still. The only phone that isn't usable but wouldn't say worthless is the doner. If u read the whole thread you'll understand why I say not worthless.

Surprisingly you can actually still access the PhoneUtil menu, DEBUG menu, DATA menu, etc etc on ICS/JB. Just like you mentioned though you can't access it through dial codes like #8778# or #DATA# or #DEBUG#, BUT you can manually make an activity shortcut to the actual page of what you need. I've tried this on CM10 running JB and it's worked fine. Maybe I'll update the main post with some instructions, but anyway all you need to do is make a shortcut to com.android.sprintmenu and look under PhoneUtil to set the phone from PDA to MODEM and access it over DFS/CDMA WS/QPST/etc.

I used CM10 and couldn't figure out how to set a shortcut activity on one of my home screens (and didn't feel like installing another app/launcher) so for temporary use I went to the main phone Settings -> Lock Screen -> Slider Shortcuts -> Dragged to make a new slider shortcut

Make the slider shortcut go to Activites, scroll down to com.android.sprintmenu and you will find everything you need there. Scroll down to PhoneUtil and make a shortcut to that, then you can switch phone to PDA/MODEM and access it over COM port... or just install a custom launcher something like LauncherPro, ADW, Holo etc that will let you make a custom shortcut to an activity on your homescreen.

Note: com.android.sprintmenu was included when I installed CM10 stable release... so, really you should be able to fully flash on about any Android version

ohhhh man, i didnt do any reading on how to get my sprint s3 working on verizon prepaid before i made a move, and (n00bingly) i canceled metropcs because my s3 was soooo slow on metropcs and thought about how easy it was to get it working on metro that i wouldnt have a problem doing it with verizon prepaid ( i suppose straight talk is just the same as verizon prepaid?) i activated my account with any 100 year old verizon flip phone i found laying around happened to be a vx4650 , later got my s3 working with talk/text only and then a few weeks later activate a new $15 mickey mouse 1x prepaid phone from walmart, and it active now. can i still get the keys and follow the tutorial with success even though i initially activated a dinosaur?

One real serious question is that I just got a used fascinate from ebay and was about to do all this although I seen in OP tutorial that if someone wants to just have talk and text only its fine. Well I just called a dude over at flashedphones.net because I watched his video titles flashing to Verizon prepaid scam ( and almost flipped my wig about losing my phone number, had it forever) . And he said that Verizon request authentication key from your phone and if you fail then you are put in Que to have a tech look into your account and if they find you are using a device that is not allowed

1.) they will only block you from having future data on your account if you are not using data as its not as much a bother to them, well that's no big deal I guess if people don't care to have mms etc... But my important concern is that the guy said doing the fascinate method only gives you 4 keys and Verizon requests 7 and so you will fail and then when a tech finally gets in to looking at your account and sees you are using a different device and getting data they will terminate your account. And he ( flahedphones.net ) said he can do it the right way for $100 bucks as to provide them with the 7 keys and never lose your phone number. Can anyone confirm this or deny this , please. He says he has been flashing phones for 7 years and knows what he is doing. i believe him and its almost worth the $100 to not have to do all this tutorial stuff. although i would rather keep the hundred as well.

LoL. I checked out straight talk and its in my area, so I see its $5 less a month compared to Verizon prepaid

so I will he switching to this ,although I think the question mentionedabove is still valid, has anyone lost their phone number using the fascinate method?

Also the OP tutorial can be updated now to use cdmaws to do the donor meid as the new release 3.8.7 and up works for that you just chose Samsung default and device is unlocked. Demo allows this as well, I don't know if dfs is even needed now.

See what you guys think of this, this is Alabama law and it is probably close to a law about this as I could spot:

"(1) MANUFACTURE OF AN UNLAWFUL TELECOMMUNICATION DEVICE. The production or assembly of an unlawful telecommunication device or the modification, alteration, programming, or reprogramming of a telecommunication device to be capable of acquiring or facilitating the acquisition of telecommunication service without the consent of the telecommunication service provider."

AND

"(6) UNLAWFUL TELECOMMUNICATION DEVICE. Any electronic serial number, mobile identification number, personal identification number, or any telecommunication device that is capable, or has been altered, modified, programmed, or reprogrammed alone or in conjunction with another access device or other equipment so as to be capable of acquiring or facilitating the acquisition of a telecommunication service without the consent of the telecommunication service provider. The term includes, but is not limited to, telecommunication devices altered to obtain service without the consent of the telecommunication service provider, tumbler phones, counterfeit or illegally cloned microchips, scanning receivers of wireless telecommunication service of a telecommunication service provider, and other instruments capable of disguising their identity or location or of gaining access to a communication system operated by a telecommunication service provider. Excluded from being classified as unlawful is a common piece of telephone installation and maintenance equipment known as a dial set or butt-in-ski."

Do you think this means that it would be illegal in my state?
[Epic 4G General] moparfreak426:
I wouldnt try it but i think its the same almost every state to be honest... Pretty sure straight talk is legal... If not, go to page plus! I got a guide on how with links to this one cuz straight talk(vzw) and page plus both use same verizon towers, settings, etc...

On straight talk? Yes, they are blocking whole areas from using data... its hit or miss on whether or not straight talk data will work for you since they've started blocking...

hmm Maybe if the donor phone isn't just a standard phone and a 3g donor phone, it would be ok, they would think it is "resonable" that a 3g phone is using more data than a 1x phone.

If you are having trouble getting QPST to recognize your Sprint smartphone or Verizon prepay, you should be able to use a RevSkills trial to download and access the EFS data. You can also use this app to get your spc unlock code on some of the Verizon phones - install and open revskills, hit menu > hardware forensics > port utils > qc + at-cmd, choose the efs tab, hit the read directories button, then the backup fs to zip button and you access the unlock code in the nvm/num/85 file of the zip doc with a hex editor. QPST can be difficult to set up; sometimes you need to load the configuration program and add the port manually to get it working.

question regarding Samsung Galaxy Proclaim

I bought a Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy Proclaim and have it active on their network.

I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 4G Epic sitting here. It's mine, just no longer on Sprint.

Is it possible to flash the S2 with the data from the Proclaim and get it working on Straight Talk network. I realize that I would no longer be able to use the Proclaim. I would like to be able to use my S2. It was expensive, it's now useless to me but so much nicer than the Proclaim.

Can anyone help me out with this?
[Epic 4G General] patrick_the_fat:
ovemtee

You need a new ST phone, and you need never turn it on. You need only the MEID number from the paper it comes with to associate your S2 with ST. You would only need the Verizon phone with the MEID from ST because you cant pull the data from the ST phone to get everything else working.

Look at the link to Wallyworld in the instructions (and follow the instructions closely). Your S1 is likely more valuable than what you would pay to get a new MEID number (you can get that for $5).
[Epic 4G General] justan00b:
The galaxy proclaim is an actual straight talk android phone that's works over verizon towers I believe...soo, it should have 3g and everything programmed into it when you activated it, meaning it has the ha aaa etc keys that you will need to copy for 3g, or *should* have them anyway? So, theoritically, if you can figure out how and connect the proclaim over diagnostic mode to copy all these settings using dfs/etc, then you should be able to copy the settings to your s2 and have 3g and everything working without needing a new donor. Plus I belive having an meid that is actually associated with a straight talk android phone you won't have to worry about any of the "air tank" crap aka prepaid menu stuff that could interfere with your service and give you a "pending transaction" error on your account (I've actually gotten one before).... if not get a cheap $5 donor like the other dude on here suggested

What is the procedure to keep/port my number? I really need to keep it.

I dont have access to borrow a verizon Samsung Fascinate to extract the HA AAA and DMU10 keys. Is buying a used one going to be my only option or is there other ways to obtain those secrets?

Lastly for now, my sprint evo 3d is rooted, s-on & custom rom (MeanROM). Will that matter?

Samsung Galaxy Precedent Straight Talk On Sprint

i have the Samsung Galaxy Precedent, according to the System Status under the Settings the phone doesn't use Verizon's Network it uses Sprint's Network, is there anyway to use this in my favor to flash my Epic 4G to Straight Talk? i dont have any Verizon phones to help in the flash process

Just like you said in your post, the precedent runs off Sprint's network, and you need a Verizon phone for the flash to pull the keys/data settings for 3G....so, no you won't be able to do it with the precedent, you'll need a VZW phone like the fascinate
