Mesmerize on straight talk?? - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just installed the xda android app. But I can't seem to find the samsung mesmerize section. Figure fascinate section might be able to help.
Anywho: I have a US cellular Mesmerize. Im trying to find information if its possible to unlock and use the phone on straight talk network.
It seems its pretty easy task as far as the att and verizon versions are concerned. But I'm not having much luck with getting information on the mesmerize. And help or links would be greatly appreciated.

ED01 has a check to see if you are on another carrier. you need to downgrade. Try an AOSP rom.

Meh, I just remember reading about a carrier check. Personally, I'm on Verizon, so listen to the people that have another carrier.

ey guys haha just successfully was able to get service from metropcs and i didn't have to have the store do it for me..i did a little more research and i found this thread giving instructions on how to flash a fascinate with ed01 froyo to cricket wireless and i got some really helpful tips in there courtesy of chrisngod, and his fellow forum mates idk if i can post the link of the site in here though. btw, i only got the text and call to work as of now, i'll just try to find a thread that can make my mms and data to work.

Idk about metro but on cricket if you're on the android plan a simple change in the apn settings will do the trick ...try that with your phone.

Fascinate to US Cellular

Is there a way to get the Fascinate working on US Cellular?
Edit: Or could I grab the Mesmerize's ROM/radio and flash it to the Fascinate or would that give me a brick?

In my best guess, it would brick it. But thats just from Google searching random topics working midnights. You could try it, worst case scenario, you have to Odin a vzw ed05 stock rom
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Yea I've never found much info from google. I wouldn't think it would very hard to do since they're the same phone on a cdma network. Guess I'll try flashing the ROM/radio and see what happens.

Good luck and happy flashing, just have Mr Odin handy lol

Actually I have a fascinate on a non Verizon network, so I have to flash massaints patch for cyanogen, but I could just flash a mesmerize MIUI ROM without flashing any patch and everything works.. it doesn't brick using MTD roms, I just don't know how it would work with touch wiz.. haven't tried it.

I'd prefer to stay on MIUI. Haven't had time to try flashing the mesmerize ROM yet but well try later.
Sent from my MIUI'd Mesmerize
I know you could flash the mesmerize rom on your fascinate and it would all work except for radio things. It won't connect correctly to VZW. But if you could convince USCC to take your ESN and add your device or however they do it then yes it would work.

[Q] Would installing the GSM patch give me 3G?

Hello again. I know I've posted a thread like this a while ago, but I didn't seem to get an answers. Recently, I stumbled upon this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369930, and it says it can enable the GSM radio. By the looks of it, it seems as if that can help enable 3G on the PagePlus network. So, if anyone has tried it, did it work for you? Thanks, hoping I can get feedback as soon as possible.

I found another one, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2375489, but by the looks of it, it doesn't seem to work here in the US. Not sure though, because I would really love to use 3G again and CyanogenMod 10.1.2 isn't letting me. Thanks.
