Hello, I've flashed a couple of Samsung Fascinate phones to Cricket successfully without any issues. My cousin has a Fascinate, but he needs it flashed to Metro PCS. What would be different in flashing the phone to such carrier compared to flashing it to Cricket?
I think I remember reading somewhere that Metro PCS was different somehow but I'm not sure so I personally wouldn't try until somebody said it works.
I'm sure that it works because he had the same phone flashed at a store in LA.
Your ppp config settings will be different along with the prl and apn settings.
Do you know anywhere I can find such settings for Metro?
I need to flash my Fascinate to metro. I am a beginner at this. Can you point me in the right direction.
I'm also trying to flash one of these to metro for a friend of mine if anyone knows of a link on a howto that would be great I'm not new to flashing but I'm use to my evo and the only other phone I've ever rooted and flashed ROMs on was my old moment .
Sorry I'm on my phone and its a little hard to search and I saw this thread and figured I ask.
TIA for any help.

Information about this as well.... Would the process be similar in general. And not device specific?:good:
Tryin to use SGH-I717 ATT NOTE on T-MOBILE. .I've looked at several threads that point to. Tomin's work, but still am struggling to make heads or tails of what to flash without brickin. Im selling my unlocked ATT note to an existing TMO customer, but would like to have it set up and ready to fly for him.. Could anyone that has done this successfully please explain which Rom and which modem to flash.. TMO customer is already aware of the poor upload speeds, again just want it setup and am going nuts tryin to sift through threads that have multiple device discussion cluttered throughout. Thanks in advance. ..
Hello I had to get another note 2 over this issue I tried using my wife's sim card and it was a no go. It started out of the blu I woke up all worked well then a few hours later I wasnt able to use my phone. It was only good for going on the web and on here. I kept the first note 2 and just bought a new one I would love to fix it for my wife any help would be great. It was rooted and running Jedixv for over a month I tried new sim cards and used sim cards. When I talked to Verizon they said the phone wasn't connecting to the tower but I had full 4G service. If you got a guess im more then willing to try its already down so if I kill it off the rest of the way it wont be to be of a loss. Thanks for any help given.

I am trying to get my samsung note 2 onto the straight talk network that uses the verizon towers. My phone is a global phone so I can use the at&t or t-mobile services through straight talk but I would prefer to run off verizon towers as I would have better service. I have recently contacted Straight talk and they do still use verizon towers but they will not allow a 4g phone onto this network. Just as Verizon Prepaid plans will not allow a 4g phone I assume. They do allow 4g phones for att and tmobile however. I know you can flash a 4g phone to work with verizon's prepaid however I am not sure if I can do the same for straight talk. Will I even need to flash? Please help!

I hope this is the right section for this post. Thanks!
Just look for a good ROM 4.2.2 and below. I have had many issues with no service at all running 4.3 ROMs. All you have to do is Google the best APN settings for straight talk. I'm on net10 so I cant help with that,but yeah. I'm running avatar rom if that helps you with a rom to use :3

Yes, that does help. Now I know where to start. I will find a good ROM and try to find the APN settings. If I do find the correct APN settings will I need a verizon straight talk sim card for my phone or will I just have to go on their site or call them to activate without the sim? Any information on how I can activate my Note 2 to the verizon straight talk network would be helpful. Or would I just have to get the Verizon straight talk sim and just enter the correct apn settings and just plug in and use the phone?
I would not be opposed to using net 10 however. I am just looking for a semi affordable pre paid service that runs off verizon's towers. Considering I pay $130 a month for my service with verizon, it wouldn't take much to beat what I am paying now.
There is no verizon straight talk sim cards. This will probably only be possible with a donor phone.

Is there a tutorial somewhere on using a donor phone to get on the Verizon side? That is what I did with my fascinate and want to do the same with a note 2
To the OP, how's the new service working?

Hi
Have you tried to uninstalling verizon apps?
I'm from Saudi Arabia and that worked for me
Now I can make call and text but the data on the sim card are not activated ?:crying:
You can use titanium backup to uninstall them...

Unlock-codes work only for GSM devices, not CDMA.
