Make sure you are running stock Verizon Gingerbread which will have Verizon's radio/modem.

ok i used the stock verizon ginger bread flash "CI500_VZW_DL09_ECLAIR.tar" but it still dials out to us cellular instead of verizon or straight talk do i need to s off or something or anyone else have any more flashes to try to get it to work.
I am more than confused, I flashed my phone back to GB stock & it's been factory reset, but from there I am lost. I have went through all the pages of comments and replies and I still can't figure it out. How the hell do I flash the ESN from my Straight Talk phone to my Fascinate?
And where the hell can I get DFS from?
^^ Scratch all that & I can't access data or make calls......but can receive calls & place/receive texts. :/

I dont know if anyone has done it the way i have but this is what i had to do.
I was able to get my sch-i500 onto straight talk. I had a existing account with ST already and had a lg lc55c and a lg22. My lc55c was my current phone and i was able to get my current number and everything working on the samsung. I pretty much did everything that it said on here except i had a spare lg22 and i used that meid on the samsung phone.
Then i called up Straight talk and asked them to switch over my number to the meid i put onto the samsung from the lg22. and went though the activation process on the phone. Then wala data, text and phone were available within 10 mins. Thank you guys for the tut

ok for people coming from other networks i was on us cellular will also work on cricket version and so on you need to load the prl for verizon with cdma workshop to make it dial up to straight talk instead of us cellular or other providers after you et the esn changed
1. reopen cdma workshop and open port to phone
2. MAKE SURE THE RIGHT PORT IS SELECTED FOR YOUR DEVICE. CLICK ON THE TOP LEFT BUTTON CALLED "Ports". DOUBLE CLICK YOUR DEVICE. It will be the one that says "Samsung Diagnostic Modem"... or something equivalent. Diagnostic being the key word. You know you are connected to the phone properly when all the information on the main screen fills in with YELLOW text and tells you everything you may (or may not) have wanted to know about the phone.
3. Go back to the Main DFS Screen.
4. You will need the password to unlock the SCH-I500: 2010031619780721.
5.IN THE SPC THE NUMBERS, it should already have 000000 IN IT. CLICK ON THE RUN BUTTON to the Left of the SPC number. In the "Logging Window" that floats to the side, IT SHOULD SAY "Device Unlocked". THEN enter the 16 digit code in the PWD block at the top of DFS program. Click run to the left of the PWD Numbers and it should say "Device Unlocked" again.
6. go to program tab the nam tab under that
7.go over to prl load the verizon prl ( i also read and saved mine first just in case i want to go back to us cellular)
8. then hit write
9.Then hit reset on the DFS main screen. [TOP RIGHT CORNER]
10. thats it now activate it

Straight talk is great, especially the data plan ..thanks for the guide
Lookup my guide for flashing the spring epic 4g to straight talk on xda...the routine will be pretty much the same, basically you need to copy all your settings from the fassy to your note II. Main thing you need to figure out is the 16 digit password to unlock your note, which will allow you to change the ESN in DFS or cdma workshop etc. Try googling it, etc. If you can't find the pass to enable changing your ESN / MEID or find a tool to do it, then you're outta luck. If you can find this then it should be easy from there...

Thanks a ton brother. So I can just copy the fassy data no need for another new flip phone from ST?

Yep... you can copy the 3G settings including the HA, AAA, and DMU10 key from your fassy, as well as the activation settings that contains your phone number. Of course you won't be able to use your fassy anymore since you're swapping the ESN and other settings to your Note II...

You need the MMS Fix for alternate carriers and have to be running CM7 or newer... look under epic 4g android development for it, should be basically the same for the touch
