DURING THIS PROCESS I WAS USING WIN VISTA HP 32 BITS issues with drivers signatures on 64 builds.
Required software and Tools
QPST build 2.15 no exceptions

BOOSTMOBILE INCOGNITO- not really true any phone capable of receiving 3g signals and that you are able to read items 465,466,1192,1194 will work fine as long as the device is already in service with the network of your choice. However this one is intended on the boost/the now network prepaid bootlegged network.
Incognito win vista 32 drivers
Samsung Fascinate Drivers
STEPS FOR THE INCOGNITO DATA EXTRACTION ETC.
--1—after you have successfully installed the Incognito drivers please connect the phone. Launch CWS and connect to the dial port. Read the phone and head to the Security tab.
Click on SPC/lock and pull the curtain and select Universal Ram once done search for incognito. Send the spc once is retrieve and read and save NAM to a folder of your choice. Name it whatever you want, next head to other tab and read PRL and also save it to same folder. *found out the phone will work better with the PRL the incognito was working with. Don’t write anything from sprint may dropped your signal. I know is weird does not makes sense but feel free to explore.
Because of sprint prl it would override my data info and had to restart the process again. My experience. Now access the Memory tab under NV items and read the following numbers 465,466,1192,1194 each one individually. Your beginning address is the same as your end address for example: starting 465-465 do not do 0465-0465. Won’t work and may brick your fascinate once you write, repeat the process for each one and save with whatever name, preferably as the number item you are using. *very important* now we want to manually copy down your user id. On the phone dial ##3282# it will bring you to a menu insert your spc and access user name. please copy exactly.
Turn off your incognito and put it away. Take the battery out you don’t want someone else turning it on by accident. It will scramble your data settings on the fascinate.
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO A FACTORY RESET ON THE FASCINATE. We don’t want any bits of information from a previous setting creating conflict with the new data.
At this point your Samsung Fascinate have acquired a new Dec number that was done that you don’t know, want to know or talk about. Main point is that you did not do it.
After reset phone will want to be activated. To bypass please dial *#83786633 and the Home Key
Now you want to enable the hidden menu. *#22745927 it will take you to a screen and select enable hidden menu.
DIAL ##3282# or **3282 or ##3282 which ever works for you send spc and change the user id on the phone to the one that you wrote down earlier. REBOOT
Depending on the rom you are using the DIAG option is under WIRELESS & NETWORK please select it and now your pc will be installing the required drivers if you have not installed them before.
Launch CWS and select port, read info and head to Security Tab. You must send the 16 digit password in order for all data to write correctly. If you don’t know this number here it is 2010031619780721. By default the password is 000000 but it will not work until you have enable hidden menu. Lets continue.
Once you have sent the spc please access the NAM and load the one you previously saved from the incognito, and click write.
Now do the same thing for the PRL on the Other tab. Exit cws and reboot, after reboots reconnect send 16 digits, you could do the 000000 but for some reason I feel that it does not writes everything correctly.
Head to the NV items section and Hit Write, it may say that you may needs spc first just click yes and load the 1st nv item starting with 465 from the file you saved them earlier in an ascending pattern. One all 4 items have been written exit cws and wait for it to reboot. Disable DIAG MODE. After the phone has finish loading the sd card etc if the 3g signal does not start after 10-15 seconds the following applies. Most likely you will need the next step.
Launch QPST 2.15 if you do not have cws you need to install QPST 2.7.323 due to the fact that under 2.15 the fascinate will appear under W5-FFA6250-T with limited tabs and NAM and MIP is not available.
Once online with QPST 2.15 we need to figure out the PPP config tab. Read the info on the phone and replace with the following data. This is what works with me whether on boost or Sprint alone
The following are horizontally just follow the name on each section,
-RM- ppp parameters
Config tries—Request timeout—Config NAK tries—Terminate tries—Request Time out—Comp settings—PPP Auth
20 1000 3 2 3000 5 3000
20 1000 3 3 1000 Disable
20 1000 3 3 1000 Ignored
User id do not high light it uncheck required pw Under PPP only click it but not check
-UM- same as above follow pattern
User ID this is funny and it should not work but it does. [email protected]
All lower case please.
Make sure that all is lower case. Also the password just click the box don’t check it leave it blank
Optimized Dormant Handoff box Checked do not click the 1xEVDO
-AN-
Userid
[email protected]@hcm.sprintpcs.com
Hit first save the Qpst file and write.
The phone will reboot but do not disconnect it until it has completely loaded all options. Disable Diag mode and with in 10 to 15 seconds you should have 3g. I was able to obtain 800-1350 kbs with speedtest.net
Note if you have another phone and want the data from the other phone the AN user id has to be same one that you program the very first time. Yes I know it does not make sense. But it does works. I hope this works for me as it has for me. It works for me and have reprogram various.
Any new news on this. Have a friend interested in this.

You need to be using a 2.1 rom with dial up networking mode or use 2.2 with the settings mod for it to be able to be read by QPST. and you need TWO versions of QPST for the settings to stick on the fascinate. after you've cloned the incognito make sure u turn that **** OFF!!! forever... just break that **** forreal because if not it will mess up the data settings (or get u in trouble for cloning since its "illegal"). This works the same as flashing to Cricket, as i know because i've flashed both of mine to cricket the month after we switched from t-mobile because of those two bs 200 dollar phone bills (now 113 for two lines). we dont use that much mobile data right now because we have WiFi at home.
My friend did this on his epic and it works flawlessly. I was actually gonna sell my fassy for 200 (i can get a new one from this store right around the corner to flash for 200). So if anyone wants a fascinate, i'll sell them it for 200, so i can get a epic on boost, and 35 a month with shrinkage plan =O
Really, you should look on the flashing the fascinate to cricket thread its much less jumbled. just take the incognito settings plug them in to qpst in the fascinate (exactly) and then the data "should" work. thats what he did lol... i was there the last 30 minutes before he got it actually working. PM me and i can put u on with him if you need help.
Wait a second, so I can take a boost phone and run it on the vzw network? Data and all? For pennies on the dollar?

Nick were you able to make it work? it should work mostly in any rom. better on 2.2 faster 3g. I clocked that phone at 1450 kbps. My little brother has it now. no problems at all. let me know if you need help
NO not on the VZW but on boost or cricket or any other company.

you will get that but the 1x signal which is bull****, I am running this thing faster than the evo on Sprint 3g mode, we are actually talking about true 3g not your typical 400-800 kbps bs. cricket is different and much easier, cricket oass cricket etc bs, so simple even a cave man can do it. lol....
Is this usable on GB? I think cm7 breaks data ...
Have you tested on a GB rom?

I hate to revive a dead thread, but can this guide be used to flash a fascinate onto sprint as well? For educational and recreational purposes of course.
It should same steps.

nice quide , it was really helpful , i have the fascinate working with 1x speed on boos which is suprisingly fast , i cant get mms to work though , any ideas .
I have 2 fascinates over on boost, I have not tested out the mms at all but I have full 1x and 3G speeds. if you dig around for boost mms on other phones for you will find things like
`` Dial ##3282#, edit and enter your epic’s spc, scroll down and on change the MMSC URL to “mm.myboostmobile.com” ``
and
``
MMSC: http://mm.myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com
MMS proxy: I left mine blank
MMS Port: 80
``
I used the later settings, but as I said, I have not tested my mms yet..
I have talk and text working fine,and I have the 3 g Icon but no internet .........can some one. please me

Just a (stupid) question.
I bought Atrix ATT and I have it unlocked but the name of the carrier in Swiss does not display.
I tried all the anothers networks and they appear any ideas?
Thanks
Try flashing a different radio with rsd lite
wow. alot of people try to get their carrier to disappear.
Sometimes its really helpful to have it shown, like me for instance, I travel back and forth between two countries and I need to know which carrier I'm on.
I know there is a roaming indicator, but its not near as visible as a carrier name.
So I too like to know a way of enabling that feature. Oh by the way, the suggested radio change didn't work for me, no carrier name showed up.

I am thinking two possible problems:
1) An xml file that does not have the carrier name in it (thinking apns.xml)
2) The settings.db (or some .db file in any case) - look up the AT&T wireless hotspot fix on which file and how to edit. You may be lacking your carrier's info here.

I don't think that's the problem because when I roam into att which is my Atrix original carrier it still don't show the name.
I'm thinking that may be due to my very old sim card.
Or a combination of both.
If so, how did you fix MMS for our phone? It something that I still have problems with.
I was able to find a solution to my problem. Although I'm still having trouble with TW ROMs, AOSP ROMs work great with this.

Ok, I had the same MMS issues after flashing June 29th's nightly in that I couldn't receive MMS.
DISCLAIMER: My service provider is Ting - which is a Sprint MVNO (a hell of a lot cheaper, see sig). There are known problems of running custom firmwares on Ting because the provisioning doesn't get set right from Sprint. Because of this, we custom-ROMers have to edit our APNs to make MMS work.
With that that said, I had to edit the APN file and select the correct one in the APN settings. Once i did that, BAM, I could send and receive MMS from other Ting users as well as verified from Verizon and AT&T. The only thing I haven't verified is MMS from other Sprint users, since I have changed the APNs (will do that later today).
NOTE: The instructions below is to get MMS working on the Galaxy S4 with CM10.1 Nightly build June 29th. You may ignore the mms.plspictures.com settings, and it may work for normal Sprint users. Or hell, try to use the mms.plspictures.com anyways to see if it works on Sprint. mms.plspictures.com seems to be an open gateway for any carrier, as it is specified as the Roaming option in stock ROMs.
Step 1: The apn.conf.xml file...
First thing I noticed when starting to flux with my APNs is that CM10.1 includes a butt-load in their drops - that every variant gets (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Boost, Sprint, etc etc). Nothing about Ting in here. It seems to be a one-size fits all.
Someone that has the time to research what each specific setting is, and the codes, might be able to clean up CM10.1's APN file to match/get updated to match the Samsung oem one for Sprint variants. But I don't have that time.
At first, I tried to edit the CM10.1 file for Ting-specific requirements: replace all instances of mms.sprintpcs.com with mms.plspictures.com. This did not work, though I forgot about Step 2 below so it may have worked.
What I did was to copy the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4's stock/oem apns-conf.xml file off before I threw CM10.1 onto the phone. This file is attached as:
Code:
// original Sprint Galaxy S4's APN file attached
//
apns-conf.xml.gs4-oem.zip
// rename it to apns-conf.xml if you plan to use it.
//
// this file exists in /system/etc/
// you must mount as read/write to copy the file
// (or use root explorer, es file explorer, etc).
//
You'll notice it is a hell of a lot smaller than the CM10.1 version. Again, I think the CM10.1 version is a one-size-fits-all approach. How about we just use the Spring version, since that is our variant? See attached gs4-oem file.
Now, this still did not work on the S4 with CM10.1 6/29/2013 nightly. So I edited the file to match the Ting specifics outlined above, with mms.plspictures.com. Still didn't work.
Finally, I forgot one last step...
Step 2: Specify which "APN to use", whatever that means...
There is one last step you must do when editing this APN file: you have to "edit and select it" elsewhere in the UI. For some reason, while this does list the the APNs in your config file, the settings are still wrong. You have to change them as well.
With CM10.1, there is a "Voice Dialer" app. You must use this app to access the APNs to edit and select as I have no idea how to get to this edit screen without that Voie Dialer app. On Samsung's S4 stock ROM, there is a ##....# combination to enter to get to a similar menu - but still different.
1) Open Voice Dialer and say, "Open A P Ns", just like that.
2) Once open, you'll have to go into each APN and see if it lists mms.sprintpcs.com. If it does, change it to mms.plspictures.com. Change each and every one you see.
2b) If you edit, REMEMBER TO SAVE IT! This is so cumbersome, but after you edit a field, make sure to click the Menu button, and there is the hidden option to "Save" it. If you just click back, you'll loose your changes.
3) lastly, you'll need to select/click on the bullet-point to select the one you edited. If you are using the CM10.1 apn-conf.xml file, it's your best guess as to which one to select - I can't help you there. Using the attached apn-conf.xml.gs4-oem.zip, you only have 1 to select that had mms.sprintpcs.com.
4) Reboot.
A note on step 2 above, I was using the oem Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 apn-conf.xml that I attached to this post. So I only had 3 listed, and only 1 had the mms.sprintpcs.com. If you don't use the oem Sprint apn.conf.xml and want to try using the CM10.1 version, you'll be editing 4 or 6 of them! Yes, there's a lot more to edit. Make sure to edit each and every one though, because that's the only way I got my Galaxy Nexus to work on Ting as well. But now my Galaxy Nexus is using this same apn-conf.xml.gs4-oem.zip that I attached, only 1 to edit now.
OT: MMS over WIFI: the holy grail for us Ting users is getting MMS working over WIFI with AOSP-based ROMs (so we can limit our data usage). I've tried dozens of combinations and have come to the conclusion that the stock Messaging app in AOSP (and any AOSP-based ROM across several devices) is somehow hardcoded to use only a specific mobile-specific APN for sending and receiving MMS. If I ever get the time, among my dozens of other projects (building a house, by hand!), I would grab a dump of the AOSP, looking for how a text message is received and determined to be an MMS message, and see how it accesses which APN/network device to send/receive with. I would then compare it by decompiling the oem Samsung Galaxy S4's Messenger APK (if it is not obfuscated) - because the stock Samsung Galaxy S4 DOES SEND OVER WIFI! I verified this with Ting billing, as well as leaving Mobile Data off all of the time as well as with BetterBatteryStats (after I rooted the stock S4) and looked at what was using network bandwidth. Samsung's stock (and really sh1tty / non-Emoji-compatible / non-Japanese friendly / compresses images too small - all compared to AOSP's original Messaging app) Messaging app was listed as using Wifi for the size of the pictures I was sending!
Such a PITA...

I know with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, you have a regional carrier menu which can be accessed using a key sequence on the dial pad. When accessed, a list will be displayed showing all the carriers which the phone supports using their 3 digit abbreviation. When you select a specific carrier and click reboot, the device will do a factory reset using the specific carrier settings you selected. I know the S4 will have the same regional menu but I'm curious as to whether or not I can access this through a dial pad sequence and if so, what the sequence would be.
Thanks in advance for any help which could be provided!
RESOLVED
Unlike the Note 3, the CSC (Consumer Software Customization) otherwise known as the Regional Carrier menu is a hidden menu within the Samsung Device model lineup. This menu will show a listing of scripts in the phone, depicted by a 3 letter code and specific to the carriers which can be preloaded on your device. If your device is unlocked and you wish to use it with one of the specified carriers, you can insert your carrier specific SIM, access this menu and "INSTALL" the specific configured script for that carrier. The question is always asked... "What is the benefit?".
Answer: With smartphones, they are mini computers and not just your typical "telephone". As such, you have multiple settings which vary among carriers. As such, by configuring your device to be carrier specific, it will modify specific settings which are proprietary to that specific carrier. As an example, it will modify the APN details, update your network settings to reflect access to specific modems such as 3G, 4G, HSPA+ and LTE and will also brand the device with specific apps which have been preloaded and configured for that specific carrier such as a "My Account" app. These are just some of the things to name a few which implementation of the proper CSC settings will provide.
Samsung realized that tech savvy people have figured out how to access these menus and this has resulted in fixes implemented in OTA updates to hinder people from being able to do this. As such, you cannot use the typical dialpad entry to gain access to the menu but do have the ability through ROOTING your device. Unfortunately, a ROOT will most likely "void" your warranty so it's at the discretion of the "end user" whether or not the warranty is important.
Thank you to all who assisted and happy trails!

LOL... Well there is an option to Edit/Delete and since I can not "delete" my post, I mine as well indicate it has been resolved and provide the underlying solution.

What has been resolved?.I understand what you were after as in your 1st post; but your 2nd post indicates you can get the dialler menu if you are rooted.
Since I am rooted......care to tell me the code for me to test then?.
It doesnt matter if you cant, as when I insert a sim, a box normally opens up for me to select which network I want, which then triggers inbuilt settings (apn etc)......and the phone works.
Many people do not wish to "root" their device thus "voiding" the warranty. As an alternative, they can unlock their device and dependent on their OS, they can access the "CSC Menu" through *#272*[IMEI]# Should their "new" carrier be in the default list of supporting scripts installed on the phone by the manufacturer, they can install the script which will "brand" the phone to the new carrier/SIM complete with all the required settings for that carrier. Doing this will BRAND their phone to the new carrier settings without having to root and install a carrier specific ROM etc...
Is this beneficial for you specifically? Absolutely not as you have rooted your device but many on here looking for information find threads which talk partially about something and then you see a posts claiming it's been resolved with no further detail. If I solve something on my own and feel it would benefit some, not all, I may as well post my findings so if someone encounters the same problem, they can access a thread which provides a solution instead of simply saying "FIXED".
You said it best by "It doesnt matter if you cant, as when I insert a sim"... Yes, when you insert a SIM on your rooted device you have access to everything you need. That does not help someone whom does not wish to "root" their device. Maybe I'm reading into matters too much but you seem upset about my posts That being said, ignore them. I'm not bolstering my post count but if I resolve something, I may as well post it since I cannot officially delete my thread but only "edit" it. By posting it's resolved and providing details as to how, this will alleviate someone wasting their time by providing an answer while helping those who may possibly encounter the same situation.
Cheers!

No.You state in post 2 that you can acess the menu if I am rooted.....so explain how its done since I am rooted.
Also the box that opens up happens when a sim is inserted on all the unrooted samsung phones Ive had, which then triggers carrier settings etc.
So to recap, you did not answer how to get into that menu, and I cant even see how anyone would need to anyhow.
That is all
You are reading way too much into the post and it's asinine. I asked a question, received some feedback via PM and resolved my issue. As quoted from my "Post #2": "As such, you cannot use the typical dialpad entry to gain access to the menu but do have the ability through ROOTING your device." -- I am simply indicating the dial pad entry cannot be used unless you have original firmware which has not been updated. If updated, you can ROOT which allows you to brand your device using alternative methods. Reading way too much into everything...
ROOTING = You can customize your device using many methods and as per your post: "I cant even see how anyone would need to anyhow" is correct for those who are rooting.
*#272*[IMEI]# = You can customize your device to a specific carrier should that carrier be listed in the pre-installed scripts. Your device must be unlocked but this method will not void your warranty by installing a carrier ROM already pre-configured on the device.
I may also add that you're correct! If unlocking a device and not rooting, once you input a non-carrier SIM, you will be prompted for a code but the settings do not always change. Sometimes APN settings are incorrect and there is manual editing required. The suggestion I made regarding the CSC menu will allow you to configure the device to the new carrier ROM without rooting. This will also "customize" the device to that specific carrier so unlike simply features such as APN etc... being changed, you will also have pre-defined apps installed specific to that carrier such as "My Account" and other specific apps you would not obtain by simply unlocking.
I'll make it clear that you ARE RIGHT! Let's leave it at that but for those who do not read so deep into my posts, I find many of them have been helpful as have yours otherwise we would not have received the thanks we have.
Have a great one!

I've tested this with both Cricket and AT&T on my Lumia 1520 and it's working great. I'm assuming it will work with other carriers and phones but would need to be tested. It requires registry editing capabilities. I used the CustomPFD registry editor with it running as the Preview for Developers app. (note: I had to use this method to get registry write access)
Basically you just have to set the following registry keys. For carriers like Cricket that completely blocks tethering you'll need the ICSSVC & system settings but for others like AT&T that allow it but only on certain plans you'll only need the ICSSVC settings.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Services\ICSSVC\Settings]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"EntitlementRequired"=dword:00000000

"{1DEF9B7D-2322-40eb-A007-16A75D5CDA6F}"=dword:00000007
Note: dword:000000b0 is integer 176. Also, if you change sims this will get reset and will need to be redone. I've seen vague references to some of this info but never a good writeup so hopefully this helps other people.
Hello! I have a Lumia 630 with WP8.1 Update 1 (latest available from the Previews for Developers). I'm on Crickets network and would love to enable the tether option.
Can you elaborate step by step what I need to do? I have Developer Unlocked my phone already. And I'm assuming I will need to use a computer to export the XAPs?
Thanks
Ok, so I deployed the CustomWPSystem app. I've got as far as trying to patch the target app but no matter which of the target apps I try and patch, the tool crashes to the home screen. However, the target apps still open and function as normal. This makes me think it's not even trying to patch them.
Any ideas?

The same thing happens on my phone, hence the alternate more manual method linked in the OP. I used this app to unlock the wpsystem folder so I can copy the files and whatnot.

I've installed the Windows 10 Technical Preview and for some reason I can't unlock the WPSystem folder. When I click Phone after Add Provider in Pocket File Manager I get a black screen. This actually happens anytime I choose Phone as a location in any app. I think it's MS blocking out any possible access to the system files during the beta stages..

No SD Card
Any suggestions for those of us without memory card slot. How can I get write access (Nokia Lumia Icon, Running Denim)

nothign for users without an SD card. The insider app is fixed too so you cant do it through any of the fiddler methods too. I think someone is working on a way to bypass that. Lets hope it works or else wait till next month
Just tried this. No dice - the Internet Sharing setting says there's no data connection available to share.
I have an ATIV S Neo that was fully interop unlocked and is running Microsoft dev preview updates since GDR3, and I've updated to the latest 8.1 update available through Preview for Developers.
The SecureItems DWORD value was different (54), and I successfully set it to 176 using SamWP8 Tools. I also changed the EntitlementRequired value from 1 to 0 and rebooted. All other values in the OP were already the same on my phone. What am I missing?

Sorry bro, if you're on Sp rint, no one seems to have a solution....unless I missed something. It seems like all threads related to internet sharing seem to go dead once someone asks about Sp rint.
Of course, I may have missed something but nothing seems to work...

I feel like it might be an APN thing, but what do I know.
If Sprint would let me tether for free, I would do it. I only use it in emergencies - it's not like I'm streaming Netflix in HD on my computer from my phone or anything.

It most likely is an APN things. Something with TetheringNAIConnection, see below from MS web page:
"TetheringNAIConnection
Optional. Specifies the CDMA TetheringNAI Connection Manager cellular connection that internet sharing will use as a public connection.
If a CDMA mobile operator requires using a Tethering NAI during internet sharing, they must configure a TetheringNAI connection and then specify the connection in this node.
Specified connections will be mapped, by policy, to the internet sharing service. All attempts to enumerate Connection Manager connections for the internet sharing service will return only the mapped connections.
Note: The mapping policy will also include the connections specified in the DedicatedConnections as well.
If the specified connections do not exist, internet sharing will not start because it will not have any cellular connections available to share
Additional requirements for CDMA networks:
For CDMA networks that use a separate Network Access Identity (NAI) for internet sharing, the Connections parameter TetheringNAI is used. The following sample demonstrates how to specify the connection"
Sprint & Tethering
I switched to Sprint almost 5 years ago when the HTC Arrive came out. I called up sprint and they said they don't offer tethering for that device. XDA came out with a custom rom that had it so I flashed and was tethering like normal. In December they cut off peer to peer stuff (which is fine with me) Then In February they sent me a nasty letter saying I was tethering and using too much data (on my unlimited data plan) In June they cut me off. So all I can say is Sprint is getting serious about not allowing tethering. Mind you my phone was 3g so..... they just dont like anyone tethering without paying for it.
Worked perfectly on my Lumia 1520 on the H2O network. Only had to change the entitlement reg key.
Didn't work for me on my 830 on Cricket. I can enable the connection settings and connect from my laptop (gets an IP and everything), but I can't connect to anything online (limited network connectivity). Any suggestions?
Nevermind, it was just my Hyper-V client IP settings. Working great now, thanks!
