I am looking for the ## codes for the fascinate. I am sure that someone is able to find them. I have searched the web for hours and not found any that will work with the fascinate. I am only looking, because I am sure that just like my incredible I can change the IP settings and use the wifi tethering for free on the fascinate too.
I appreciate any and all help to get these codes.
Have you tried the codes that work on the international I9000, Samsung's first Galaxy S model?
Thanks for the link. I tried about half of those and none of them work. I think their must be a set of codes specific to the CDMA version.
I was able to get a few codes out of a verizon represenative, but not everything.
This code enables the ability to use the second code I got.
*#22745927
you then enter 000000 for the spc
and change to Hiddenmenu Enable and press ok.
the type **772
you then enter 000000 for the spc
This will enable you to manually program the NAM.
Now I just need the code to modify the network settings for the data portion of the phone.

Verizon told me to do *228 option 2 to re-sync roaming towers to get a better signal.
--**Here's a method to get the Epic flashed to cricket with internet and apps***--
***Edit- I cleaned up my post and attached a good PRL to use (42700) and "ConnectBot.apk". I also believe I have MMS sorted out. I'm gonna double check everything later tonight to make sure there's no issues and I'll update my post accordingly.
---Requirements---
*Download and install Qpst. 2.7 build 355
*Download and install normal Epic 4g drivers.
*Cricket prl. (42700 PRL is what I recommend. I've attached it to my post)
*USB Cable
*Your MSL.(I attached connectbot to my post in case you need it)
_________________________
---Getting your MSL---
-If you know your MSL already you can skip this part and start at the "Getting started and setting up QPST".
1. Find and install "Connectbot" found in the market or at the bottom of my post.
2. Select the dropdown box on the bottom left that says "SSH", and choose "local". Put whatever you'd like in the nickname box and hit "enter".
3. Click on "Android".
4. Use the command "getprop ril.MSL" and hit "enter".
5. Your MSL should now be displayed.
...If that doesnt work...
1.Type "getprop" instead.
2. It should show a long list, scroll down to the section that starts with "ril".
3. You should see "ril.msl", the 6 digit MSL number will be after that.
---Getting started and setting up QPST---
1. Plug in your phone to your computer and when prompted to choose between "Charging, mass storage, or tethered modem", choose "Tethered modem", then choose "3g modem".
2. Open up QPST > "QPST Configuration". Click on the "Add new port" on the bottom right. Uncheck mark the "Show serial and USB ports only". In the box above it, you should see your phone connected and the corresponding COM port. Select it and the "Port" and "Port label" will autofill. Hit "Ok".
3. Open up QPST > Service programming. Select your phone in the "Select an active phone" box.
Click on "Read from phone" and enter your SPC when prompted.
***(Note: If you are having trouble with QPST recognizing your phone, instead of using the "Tethered modem" method when plugging in your phone, dial ##8778# and switch both the "UART" and "USB" options to "MODEM". QPST should then see your phone. Revert the "MODEM" option in the previous menu to "PDA" when done.)
---For talk/text---
1. You will first write a new prl to your phone. Cricket prl 42700 is preferred.
2. Click on the "Roam tab at the top.
3. Click on the "browse" button under "Preferred roaming" and locate the prl file you wish to write.
4. Click on "Write to phone".
5. Let QPST do it's thing and voila, your new PRL will be written to your phone.
---For internet---
1. Click the "M.IP" tab (may be "M.IPv6") and set "Mobile IP Behavior" as "MOB + Simp".
Select any profiles listed under "user profiles" and click edit. Do the following for all profiles:
Make sure that "profile enabled" is checked and enter in the following:
NAI: [email protected]
Tethered NAI: [email protected]
2. Change "home address", "primary ha", and "secondary HA" to all zeros.
3. On both "HA Shared" and "AAA Shared Secret, select the "enter text string" and type in the following password (all lower case): "cricket".
4. Click "Ok".
5. Set active user as "0".
6. Click "PPP Config".
7. Click the "Um" Button.
8. Under user ID enter: [email protected] as well as for tethered NAI. If a text box is black with red lines in it, click it and press ctrl + D. Enter "cricket" in the password box.
9.Click the "AN" Button and repeat the last step.
10. Click "write to phone"...After that, you should now have the 3g icon on your phone.
11. Last step to get internet and apps working, if you're already activated on cricket, is to call customer service and have them switch you to the 55 dollar Android plan.
_________________________
*Please note: They have a 55 dollar "All-in" plan, as well as the $55 Android one. So make sure you're put on the right one. I've had most luck by asking to speak with the "Smartphone department" and then requesting them to have my equipment and plan changed.
**Thanks to anderdroid for testing Android plan with fascinate.
Hope this helps! PM me if you need a download link for QPST.
how would if you do it using QPST?
I am still waiting for mine to arrive but I always use QPST to inject to other networks and unlock the EVDO
wait for further infomation, because i want to use it in China, where the carrier situation is a little complicated.
cdma isn't carrier locked, if its the same frequency then you should se if cricket will flash it for u

Alternatively...you can install the regular Epic drivers and plug in the phone...when given the three choice prompt, choose "tethered modem"...then select 3G tether. The phone will then connect on a COM port and you can then connect to your phone using CDMA Workshop, QPST, or whichever programming tool you prefer and flash the prl that way. I'm still working on getting the data up and running.

Default 16 digit should be 01F2030F5F678FF9, give it a try. You can also use CDMA Workshop to read and change your Epic's SPC, which is the way I prefer.
So, quick question, do I need a specifically modded rom to run my Epic on Cricket, or is it that I can use any rom and then flash the phone??? I'd like to know this because I bought the phone off contract and would like to use it on Cricket. -thanks

Nope, doesn't need to be any specific rom. It can be whichever one, even the stock one.
Sick!!! this makes my life so much easier thanks!
I finally managed to write AN data parameter for EV-DO, using QPST 2.7 build 355, other version wont write the ev-do parameter. Data is ON now for my network.
This is only because my carrier using simple IP, I believe cricket is using a mobile IP, so the case might be different.
Well, I'm kinda new at this flashing business and my contract with my gsm provider has been over. I just wanted to transfer my number onto my new epic 4g on cricket but so far I haven't found a dealer who can do it, can anyone help me out, maybe post a tutorial or guide, it would be hugely appreciated

I made this in a hurry, but I believe I got everything.
**thanks to anderdroid for testing Zio plan with fascinate.
***Edit- Since I'm a new member, it wouldn't let me post the links to the downloads of Qpst and the 32100 cricket PRL. PM me if you need either.
Now if there was a way to make sprint think this was a Hero and not an Epic then we could avoid the $10 charge. That's the only real reason I have went back to the Hero.
Wow, great guide, thanks! Just a couple o more questions, sorry. Where one has to input the 10 digit cricket number it is assuming then that you have an account already and that you'll be moving to 55 dollar plan in order to achieve that change to 3g enabled correct?

No problem, but to answer your question...yes, it is assuming that. You can get your account set up first and flash the text/talk portion using the steps above and once that's done, you can get the internet set up and working...
Perfect, thanks! :]
If anyone would like screen dumps I can do this... There were a couple of steps I needed to do to connect.
Thanks for the help everyone!
EDIT:
Rock on... Got data now! I had to do this all because my wife and I are going through a divorce. I purchased the phone, but it was on her account. Well she decided to turn it off, and I remembered hearing about how everyone changed their phone over to Cricket...
The store that I started my Cricket service with gave me the all in 55 plan. Had to make a call tonight to get it changed. Nothing happened after the first call and after the second call I asked if there was anything I needed to do. He told me to dial *228 talk and then it would reboot itself. I was hesitant because I thought this might be standard operating procedure for just the Zio. I dialed it and listened to the message. Then it hung up and a pop up screen said CDMA call dropped. There was an X inside of a circle next to the signal bars. I finally rebooted it and then the data worked.
I got the MSL by using ConnectBot from the market and followed this procedure, logging in local (bottom left drop down menu), typing a random username, connecting, and using the "getprop" command.
What will we have to do to get the Froyo update though?
I need those couple extra steps to connect since I'm having trouble getting the phone recognized by QPST please
Open QPST Configuration > Ports > Add New Port (you may have to uncheck Show Serial and USB....)
If you can't locate the port based on the results then go into your Device Manager on your computer. Check under COM ports there to see what your Samsung is under. After you add this port then you should be able to use QPST Service Programmer.
Uh another cool thing is that I can use the Sprint Hotspot utility. I took the security off and it works. 3g hotspot for free and without root.
1043kb down 150kb up, w/ 2-3 bars
After much searching I haven't found anything that directly says if this is disabled. Back on my Galaxy S5 I was able to enable the mobile hotspot by going in the dialer screen entering ##data# > Edit > entering my MSL > Going to apn EHRPD and go to type then changing it from (default, mms) to (default, mms, dun).
Couple of things. I reached out to Sprint for my new MSL and they said there is not one for my phone, it actually shows up as 000000. I tried using that and I can successfully get into my edit screen but now I cannot change the APN type, that is grayed out.
I can only change the APN and APN protocol.
Is this something that is locked down by Sprint? Is the 000000 MSL the issue?
Any help enabling the mobile hotspot without paying extra or rooting the device would be greatly appreciated.
I was looking at the same thing.
In the last few pages of this S7 thread;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sp...mes-apps/hotspot-mod-root-wip-3-4-16-t3328796
people talk about the menu items being disabled by an update.

Dude its been driving me nuts. It was so easy to get the MSL and edit my Galaxy S5. Now it seems maybe the provisioning from Sprint has it locked down. I can confirm its not locked in my G5 running lollipop.
Even with the MSL entered there isn't much you can edit in that data area.
Hopefully someone finds a way
I came from an early S4 that I never took an OTA update on, so it's still wide open. I probably should have gotten an international version S8...
Works with any version on android even android 9
I have unlimited hotspot
This method only works if you own your phone.
Call sprint tell them you want to unlock your phone
Once they are done dial ##data#
Click edit
Pin: 000000
Click apn settings
Click add (if you can't click add, update profile and prl in setting and reboot or dial ##brand# and click yes)
Call it whatever (sprint custom)
Clone your other apn for sprint for each setting
Under apn type add dun with no spaces
EXP: default,mms,dun
Save the apn and choose it
That's it
Don't update your profile or you will have to select the custom again. You can update your prl all you want tho.
I know this says Note 9......i tried this on the Note 10+ and got nothing. Everything is greyed out so i cant even add or edit.
Wondering if theres another way. I've free hotspot for many years now....and i hope it doesnt end here with this Note 10+

This for note 8 running android 9.
Is your phone unlocked to make a dummy apn?
Used this method. It's working great for me.

not necessarily the equipment must be fully paid. If you have debts, you only need the MSL code. when you pay full your device, sprint unlocks it, the MSL changes to 000000

My notes msl has always been 000000, even when I was paying on it.
I own a Note 8 that was originally on AT&T I believe and unlocked.
I put a Sprint Sim in it and it has been on Sprint since January 2020.
It's on latest Android 9.
##data# just calls 3232 and "not a working number.
I have the original device unlock code.
Do I need to do something else?
Appreciate the help
I don't have Hotspot with my plan.
Jerry
.UPDATE:
I hit ##3232" where it should have been ##3282# and worked fine once i5figured that out.
Thank you for the tip.
