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...

Hey brother. I was able to get talk and sms to work but no data... I tried everything. I was able to follow your directions to a "T", however the one thing I could not do step 14

14) After you saved everything, reboot phone, turn data on and you should be good. If you have problems do ##DEBUG## or ##33284# in the dialer and enter your SPC and make sure the AAA key is Passing by clicking EVDO Enginnering and checking AN-AAA. As long as AAA passes it means you're good and are authenticating, and should get an IP Address right below it.

For whatever reason when I do it from DFS my spc is 000000 however following your directions in step 14 above this does not work. SPC 000000 is not right. I have read about MSL? Is this what I need? Again I used your pics to verify copied my AAA and HA keys, created a DMU folder etc etc and the phone works, I can make calls (SWEET) but no data and I tried like 10 times doing the steps over and over again.

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

You're a life saver! I've been trying to write a MEID (for another purpose) to my Fascinate. The value would not stick because I wasn't entering the password. Thanks so much!

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...

This is not a ROM. This is a discussion thread on how to setup your Verizon Fascinate to work with a Straight Talk pre-paid plan.

It might if you have a cspire phone you could switch id's with. Does cspire use Verizon's towers?

get a CDMA donor Phone

Hi all,
I'm looking to switch my fascinate to Straight Talk, and from what I read, I can't use the ESN from a Straight Talk GSM phone to clone to my fascinate, and that I would need an ESN from a CDMA Straight Talk donor phone? Right now, Walmart is only offering GSM phones for cheap with a straight talk plan. If I can only use a CDMA phone as an ESN donor, does anyone know where I can get a really cheap straight talk cdma phone?

Thanks,

Sean

Thanks, but I don't see the lg220c available on straighttalk.com. The cheapest CDMA phone they have is $30 in addition to the plan. I was talking about the free to $15 dollar range like that Walmart has. Mostly I want to sell my Fascinate after it's activated on StraightTalk so I can upgrade to a better phone. Therefore, I'm trying to get as cheap a donor as possible, so I don't lose money selling my fascinate.

I just ordered two of them for customer flash about 10 minutes ago.....I don't know where you are going but I open up to where it says buy new phone... I just add the zip code in and then it opens up to let me order the reconditioned lg220c with the $45 plan for about $52 each...as I said I just ordered it so it's like getting the phone for $5 plus the$45 unlimited plan.....
