yup i thought it wasnt gonna work but then i read on another forum about someone with the same issue so i tried this fix and is worked out for me only i didnt return the gusto i just kept it. also if your still in roaming make sure you have the right prl.
[Epic 4G General] ganjamatik:
the roaming happens after i do the *228 on the galaxy s2 it will say COMPLETE but then every single time it will switch back to roaming
[Epic 4G General] slickrichierich:
did you get your phone running?
[Epic 4G General] slickrichierich:
update the prl before you flash your sprint phone
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
Huh, seems I said to dial all the activation #'s *22890, *22891 & *228 and get the current prl a while back. And everyone I've seen or helped is running prl 59272. But let's wait for someone with more experience to help. Good luck, hope you guys get it figured out.

[Epic 4G General] slickrichierich:
yes you are correct edited my last comment. latest prl is 59281
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
Finally someone updated to the newest prl........ experience prevails. 59281 is what St switched to about 2 weeks ago.

I sincerely hope you guys help each other figure out how to get the epic working. Sorry that you guys didn't want genuine help. This is my last post here. Seems its less than a thankless job to try to help. Hats off to the starter of this thread, helped me and I'm sure a lot of others.

Like I said before good luck. Mine all work so I have only stuck around to try to give back.

Anybody find mms fix for the samsungs?
[Epic 4G General] ganjamatik:
i gave up on trying to get calls and texts only and bought the stuf i needed....ok so i got myself a new gusto and a fascinate to help me do the galaxy s2- i changed the esn and added it to the account and upodated using *228 *2289 etc.. all say complete but i am not getting any 3g on the fascinate- only calls and texts work.. i dont know what is wrong it is a brand new gusto i havent even taken it out of the box

UPDATE!- after this i tried another brand new gusto- i factory reset the fascinate- then reloaded straight talk prl .. dialed *228 and let it activate - once again theres no 3g or even 1g on the phone
[Epic 4G General] ganjamatik:
yes its verizon prepaid from what i understand it should be the same exact process.. anyone done it to verizon prepaid?
[Epic 4G General] slickrichierich:
yes i use this exact same tut. to flash my evo to verizon and it worked

---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 AM ----------

why are you loading the ST prl on the verizon phone? I did exactly as the tut. explains. i activated the meid online, changed the meid on the fascinate with that of the gusto. restart the phone and the phone makes you go through the activation process once the new meid is on it. OTA starts and when finished it restarts itself. since you got more than 1 gusto take the one thats not activated on your vzw account. go ahead and activate the meid without turning on the gusto phone. then change the meid on the fascinate, restart and it should make you go thru the activation process. if it doesn't work try again with the meid from the other gusto. eventually you should get the ota to work on the fascinate. also make sure you have good 3g coverage in your area.
[Epic 4G General] ganjamatik:
just to b clear i have tried 2 gusto phones brand new- neither one had been activated before.. a factory reset the facinate changed its meid ..dialed *228 to let it program and it did so and said complete-every code i dial says complete and the phone definitely does restart after each update but at no time have i even briefly seen 3g- i consider myself very good at following instructions yet im completely stuck... this to me seems like the most basic part also wich i dont understand why nobody else has had this issue i must be missing something obvious.. i cant move on until i get 3g on the facinate and ive already ruined1 gusto by activating it and then removing it to try the one thats on my account now, i dont wanmt to try another yet just in case i can still salvage the one thats on my account now- if you could call me or give me some advice so i caN figure whats going on before i go buy some more gusto phones from store i could even give u a few bucks.. thanks fellas
[Epic 4G General] slickrichierich:
you dont need to buy another gusto just use the ones you have. just flollow exactly what i just posted above. change the meid on your account. change the meid on your fascinate. restart the phone and it should have you automatically start the ota process you wont need to dial any ota numbers.
[Epic 4G General] ganjamatik:
fuC# ya! that did it thx!! just did ANOTEHR factory reset and did the initial ota and BAM! as for the other 1 that i added and then removed from my account that gusto is no longer useable to do the same process correct?
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
alright, I'm a sucker to help and a Hippocratic. You may still be able to use the other phone. With the luck you've had maybe not but if you haven't used the gusto you may still be able to pull the keys on the fassy. Now that you're real familiar with the fassy it should be easy. Sometimes even if you've used the doner it'll work. As far as the mms, read thru the thread justan posted and that was almost what I was thinking of trying and posted about a while back. If I can get my hand on another epic ever I will try my idea and all the steps in that thread and let everyone know the outcome. I know this process can be frustrating but if it were easy everyone would be doing it. The fact is it's not and there are a lot of variables. Now a ? I have is does vzw prepaid have an air tank program on the doner? I doubt it but had a friend that was curious. Straight talk has been great but the rumor is that if their android stuff gets off the ground they won't renew the contract with vzw and may move all cdma to sprint which no offence but SPRINT sucks! May as well be on boost and have the bill shrink to $35.

[Epic 4G General] ganjamatik:
thx for all the replies and info! just to let u know i did another s2 to verizon and it works perfect on my account- but check this is the weird part.. the very first gusto i had was on my girls account and she was using it with web and all for a couple weeks...i ordered a couple more new gustos since everyone said once it was activated and used it wouldnt work to pull the 3g keys etc.... well i used one of the 2 new gustos to flash my girlfirends s2 and as u reme4mber i had problems getting 3g on the first so i added the second gusto .. still had problems so i did factory reset again and did the initial OTA wich worked for 3g yay!! so i wanted to go ahead and do another flash for my personal account but was going to buy a new gusto ...i decided to try the ones i had for the hell of it.. one of them as u know was used with web and actually dialed out on etc.. the other i just added to my girls account and couldnt get 3g or 1x and then i removed it..i figured if any of the 2 would work it would be that one as maybe it didnt pull the keys.... well.. i said screw it and i tried to use the FIRST gusto the one i made calls used the web on etc.. and it worked PERFECT- 3g keys and all... so i dont know if its the same as on str8talk but it seems used gusto phones are just fine unless someone else can say otherwise definitively-
[Epic 4G General] slickrichierich:

[Epic 4G General] savior02:
Usually I get 200-500 most of the time and some places up to 1.5 but at fewer places.
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
depending on where u are u might not see a Hugh increase. Dunno but I hate sprint so I say go for it. The call coverage alone would be worth it IMHO. I switched to this from tm and the call coverage plus being unlimited alone have been well worth the switch. I thought about boost in the beginning but the doner phone wasn't as cheap as you had to use at least an incognito which I could find a beat up one off eBay for 30 bucks but the doner used on This thread or the one that inspired this thread was 50 bucks but came with 45 dollar unlimited 30 day aircard so the doner was really only 5. Can't beat that! But if ur serious I say back up EVERYTHING first! That way if you decide to go back you have all the info you need.

Are you guys having problems with dropped calls, with your Epic on Straight Talk?
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
Yes or at least I was but if you research the epic has had its own issues with this. I odined different modems the it till I found the one that worked the beat for my area. There's a thread here with nothing but modems and a discussion on the issue. I don't think it's straight talk service but the "known issue" the epic has. Have you noticed ur signal bars go haywire when ur on the net over 3g?

[Epic 4G General] dongatta:
Great info in this guide. Have a quick question. I paid to have the sprint samsung epic touch flashed to ST. Voice text and data work. Mms does not work or voicemail. The issue I am having is the internet is super slow. Not even 512kbps. I have great signal but speed is terrible. The phone shows the 3g icon but I think I am not getting true 3g. The guy who flashed it said everything was set up for verizon 3g. Any help at all would be appreciated.
[Epic 4G General] dongatta:
Yeah I have the aa and aaa keys on NotePad. My ping is like 1387 dl is like 330kbps and upload 100kbps. I paid device specialist. Odd thing is this phone was flashed before and the speeds were blazing fast in the same area. I let the minutes run out. Reactivated and slow speeds since. He told me it needed a new flash bought a new donor and ended up with the same results
[Epic 4G General] slickrichierich:
Possible MMS Fix

1. Goto your phone dialer. Dial ##3282#

2. Click Edit. and enter your spc/msl password

3. Click on (others) and goto MMSC URL

4. After you select the (MMSC) Tab put in the following........

5. http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=Your Phone Number

6. exit and test your picture messages

Not sure if this will work but someone gave me this fix for MMS. Im using an Evo so maybe you guys with the Epics can try it out
[Epic 4G General] dongatta:
Hey Justan thanks for all your help. I connected my epic touch and there was no DMU folder in that directory. Could that be the possible missing link. Is there any way I can get that 10 key file or am I gonna have to buy a VZW phone and try to reprogram the phone myself
[Epic 4G General] zuluepic4g:
4g

is there any way to make 4g work
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
No.
[Epic 4G General] dongatta:
Thanks I hate to be bothersome. Seems like these flashers should know what they are doing before they charge people. I have a company phone that is active on the Verizon network. It is a 3g phone. Could I use that as my donor just until I pull my dmu 10 key or do I have to have the fascinate.
[Epic 4G General] dongatta:
O ok. Gotcha. You dont seem to confident in me doing that. Anyway just a thought. I appreciate all ur advice
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
Well if you have ability to do all that then why pay someone to flash the phone in the first place. I think J was being cautious in giving advice for your company phone and I don't think he was taking a shot at you or your ability, you did that yourself when you got ripped off for a bad flash. Let us know if you run into troubles but please read the whole thread first. There's a lot of good info.

[Epic 4G General] dongatta:
I was not able to do all of that before. I watched the guy flash the phone and found this post and I think between the two I can pull it off. Any way thanks for the advice and I will be using this guide more and more as soon as my fascinate arrives im gonna go back over the complete flash. I assume I should do a master reset on the epic touch before I reflash.

I Cant Get Data To Work :(

I Copied Everything Exactly From My Donor To My Evo.

Except This Thing Called "dmu mn auth" I Have "1.178.7" In There For The Settings On The Donor Phone, When I Try To Write The Same Numbers To My Evo It Tells Me I Am Only Able To Write 3 Numbers For The DMU MN Auth.

Anyone Know Anything About This?
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
I think I posted my same issue with the dmu auth and not being able to put the whole key in dfs. Have you read past the 1st page? Just checking. And I had to use qpst service programming to get that auth code in and program all 3 active profiles. Might be different for your phone as I haven't programmed one of those but worth checking out. And here's my latest speed test on the new prl.

Thanks man I will give that a shot
[Epic 4G General] Nevell:
1st and foremost it doesn't matter if the donor phone has been activated before. I used a current donor phone that was active at the time of flashing. All I did was

change the ESN,

flash the prl,

set the SPC to 000000,

turned donor phone off.

Rebooted the EVO

then dialed *228 because *22890 or *22891 won't work.

I did this so that it would activate the phone and program the MDN and MIN. <---2 things I don't have to do now. After that I flashed the data profiles and rebooted again. Once rebooted everything was working.
[Epic 4G General] Nevell:
Got my secrets from a HTC Incredible. Both *22890 & *22891 update your prl. But *22890 is what ST will tell you to use. *228 will give you voice prompts and ask do you want to program or activate your device. This actually works unlike the other 2.

SideNote:

You have to write 000000 to your phone for SPC/MSL if you plan on doing OTA. Otherwise OTA will note work.
[Epic 4G General] tf1078:
Sorry, I stand corrected, your first post and video made it seem like you were advertising or trolling for new customers. Seems those steps work very well as long as you're using a vzw phone. More needs to be done if it's sprint from my experience. Something with the way they program the phones to accept mms.

[Epic 4G General] Viper32:
I have a few questions maybe someone can help me with....

1. These keys you are talking about pulling from donor phone....

a. Can this be pulled from a active subscribed phone on Verizon?

b. If it can be will it get that account in trouble somehow?

c. These keys are needed to get 3G correct?

I just want to be clear on this before I mess something up......

If it cannot be obtained the way above what about below.....

1. I have another verizon phone, I put it on pageplus and activate....

2. Then I change ESN on that account to the EVO phone...

3. Then pull the keys from the phone I took off account...

Will that work to get keys, and also not screw up the other phone from being able to activate.....

I am a Page Plus dealer so easy for me to do these switches.......

[Epic 4G General] Nevell:
I did this with the EVO Shift which is a Sprint phone not VZW.

The active VZW phone will work as long as its a 3G phone only. As far as getting the acct holder in trouble I'm not sure. As I have never had anyone say they got in trouble. Secondly, if the phone has been activated on any other MVNO then it will not work. Chances are that they had the phone flashed by a guy who already changed the secrets to VZW. You can only pull the secrets from a 3G VZW phone only that has never been flashed.
[Epic 4G General] Viper32:
So the donor phone has to be on a active Verizon account? It cannot be one that is not active anymore?

I don't have an Epic, I'm using and S2 Epic Touch but as long as the ICS Rom will accept the dialer codes than yes you can use it. The ICS Rom I am using will take the dialer codes but I have run into some that will not and changing the rom has never changed any of my settings for Straight Talk.

Dialer codes on the Epic on ICS do not work with dialer codes. A TW ROM must be used or booting FC09 from the sd card.

So,

First thanks to justanoob...

Next,

The DFS software won't even launch on my Windows 7 x64 machine. I tried compatibility mode etc. I will try a reboot and see if I can get it to work.

*got dfs to work. I had an issue with .net framework, had to do a complete reinstall of it*

Next...

LGL55c the Lg Optimus q slider for Sprint... Does anyone know how to get it into Diag mode? I am running AreaRomQ 2.0 on it.

Basically it is a Straight Talk phone that is using Sprint Network, so I am trying to get the info from it, to my Samsung Epic 4g.

I managed to get my MSL and I wrote down a lot of the information, like the HA password, etc, but without being able to get it into DIAG so qpst can see it,

or getting DFS to work, I am not sure I can even move forward yet.

So any help would be appreciated!
[Epic 4G General] Timothy08:
or if someone can pm me on how to do this without one or if your willing to get the aaa hex for me i would be thankful if someone can help me thanks.
[Epic 4G General] Menchelke:
Ok.

So, to recap, if anyone can help me, I would love to do this. Otherwise I guess I do not know what to do, and will just keep using my current phone.

I bought LG L55c (LG Optimus Q) on Straight Talk. Phone is a cdma phone, and already using Sprint Network. running arearom 2.0

I have a Samsung Epic, running Cyanagen 9.

The instructions at the beginning are based around using a vzw donor phone to activate onto ST and then making the epic run on VZW, instead of sprint through ST.

Almost all of that does not apply since the phone I will be using as a donor phone is running on Sprint 3g, and the Epic is set to run on sprint 3g.

1. I can't seem to get qpst to recognize the LG phone, if anyone can help me with that, I might be able to manage the rest, except a few other settings are out of place since they are focused around VZW and not Sprint.

Anyways. Thank you all again.

Ok can someone help me. Im switched to verzion preapid and i have a evo 4g. i followed the guide i didnt activate the donor phone (Gusto 2) and avicated my evo after the programming wrote successfully its in roaming and only text work. how can i get calls and data? could i take the phone out of the box and copy the HA,AAA password, and DMU ke?.

I was running ArearomQ 2.0

http://androidarea51.com/arearomq-releases/

But I installed the stock rooted again, hoping it would allow me to connect.

Note it is an Android on Straight Talk, basically a Sprint Phone. So I think the code is different.
[Epic 4G General] Timothy08:
well i dont know what to tell you what are you trying to do??? transfer the aaa and ha keys of the lg to epic 4g?

make sure you have the latest radio on your evo. if not upgrade your phone to the latest OTA update
[Epic 4G General] Menchelke:
Yes.
[Epic 4G General] Alienx15:
Whats the latest radio for the evo? i think i have it. I have 2.15.00.12.19
[Epic 4G General] Timothy08:
i dont think you can but i dont know what the dialer codes are for that...
[Epic 4G General] Menchelke:
##3282# Gets you into a screen where you can view a lot of information, but for HA password, it allows me to edit it, or view it. if I view that info, it just says HA password is the password. Hence why I am trying to get qpst to go into phone to get the real info.

Anyways, guess it can't be done, or maybe not with the LG anyways.

Thank you everyone for assistance!
