Verizon Rom possible? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way i can make one of the custom roms more Verizon freindly? i would like a way to get a voicemail notification and have the verizon tabs in my market. I currently use Fresh rom which im loving but for the obvious reason there is no verizon stuff.

This is the Evo forum for sprint. Check your local phone forums for a rom.

This is a rom request for a EVO

you want verizon go to verizon like UrbanMuppet said

Im on Verizon, Using a EVO, THIS IS A EVO SECTION NOT A SPRINT SECTION

I think what's being said is, you can't just flash a different ROM for different carriers. The Evo can't be used with Verizon because they won't activate a phone they didn't sell. So your request is nonsensical.
EDIT: You say you're on VZW. Theoretically that's possible, but how did you manage it? Regardless, virtually everybody else is on Sprint, including the devs, so there's no means to develop a ROM for another carrier, and there's certainly no incentive.

O.K. The HTC EVO is an exclusive SPRINT PHONE. Far as we all know the EVO couldn't be activated on WHORIZON!

Who says they won't activate an evo on verizon? It depends on who you know or are. I can't count how many times I have seen a tmobile employee with a jail broken iphone.
Verizon do an ESN swap anytime they want, and if not you can use cdma toolkit to change your esn.

Using an iPhone on TMo is a totally different game. That's GSM which goes off the SIM card. Yes, you could get Verizon to activate an EVO, but they have to agree to do it. Usually they won't, based on what most people have reported from direct experience.

How i have a Evo on Verizon is totally irrelevant to the topic, im simply asking if a few Verizon things could be tossed into a custom rom. Im sure they can but i haven't a clue on how

Oh, well now you've GOT to tell us.
But my original point remains: Nobody else has their Evo on VZW, as far as I'm aware, so nobody has a way to develop the ROM.

id like to know how you managed to get it on the big red

My buddy has done esn swaps on multiple phones, so I'm sure it's possible (he used to use verizon phones on sprint network), but like everyone said, since it's pretty uncommon, and there's no way to develop and test for vz roms, you're going to have a hard time finding what you're looking for.

Why would you need a rom for that? Find some verizon android apk's, and try to install them directly on the phone with one of the numerous file managers out there

[Q] Unlocking a droid incredible...

Hey, I'm thinking about getting a Droid Incredible. I know it's gonna be a lot of work but how should I go about unlocking it to work on sprint. That's assuming sprint will accept the phone and let me activate it..
I've heard of it being used on Cricket, never Sprint. Not sure man, good luck though.
thanks, I'm probably going to need it. Better start looking into cricket lol
Or metro pcs, the only way to get sprint to work is if you have someone on the inside that can activate phones

hmm. Too bad I'm too young to work for them, maybe I can go there on an internship and make some friends
Can you just change the esn to a sprint esn? And then change 68992737495 settings and yay?

Can you clone a phone to work in sprint?

Ok this might not be the correct area and I apologize in advance but I want to get the thunderbolt phone from Verizon but I have Sprint and I know you cant unlock the thunderbolt to use on the network but could I clone a Thunderbolt with my Evo to make it work? Or could I do the at&t attrix?
Sent from HTC Evo using XDA App
you do know that's 100% illegal right?
Not really, cloning is, but not unlocking a carrier specific phone to use on another, I use to do it all the time to with att to use in T-Mobile. The correct term is sim unlock.
He aksed about cloning. So yes, it's 100% illegal.

Yes, it can be used on other networks. Mine is on Verizon Wireless. It's not the easiest process.

Oh, I couldn't tell you. I've only done it once. I had issues with 3g but went away once I flashed to GB rom.
Question is there anyway to get rid of the Sprint stuff so it won't keep complaining to update on stockish roms?
No there shouldn't be any diffrent steps as long as you have the donor phone you should be good.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
I got a D710 with bad esn, and use it on cricket. Stock roms suck, I rarely find an mms fix that works on most, and can't get voice mail notifications. AOSP is better, I get voicemail out the box, but nothing seemed to work on MMS. I'm not a pro, but have flashed my share of devices. Using a doaner phone means esn change, that is an iffy subject. Change it to use on another carrier? Why, when you could do the same thing and keep it on Sprint? Not legal either way. Bad esn means failed to pay the bill or was claimed lost/stolen. Either way, changing the esn to use it is considered fraud. The phone belongs to the carrier. No one would hunt you done for it, but you should know about it. Soon all the black listed cdma devices will be in one database, and just flashing a device won't be a way to use it. "Cleaning up" an esn or part it out will be all the devices with bad esns will be good for.

Ya I have bought bad ESN phones just to flash them to cricket which is relatively heard other providers can be a lot harder but never tried. And cricket will pretty much allow anything on there network.

May want to check also with the parties you're donating to. Many of them may not need to activate it - in which case ESN doesn't really matter. Bad ESNs can be flashed to other carriers, but Sprint may take some talks to get that working - and assuming they're nice enough to do it.
Well there's flashing and esn changing. Flashing is not touching the esn and taking it to another Sprint MNVO and just activating it either legitimately (some are byod) or just changing some settings on your end and then activating it on said mnvo carrier. Then there's changing the esn. If there are carriers that only allow their devices, then youd have to go this route which is a bit complicated and not for the average user. This involves obtaining a donor phone (one that the carrier sells) and taking the esn and a bunch of other settings from that phone and plugging it into the phone you want to use. Ive done this successfully with an epic touch 4g on Platinumtel and Virgin Mobile. It's been working perfectly for the last 9 months. It is completely legal. Where it becomes illegal and fraudulent is if you clone someone elses phone and do not pay the bill (read this for more info although it's still a gray area http://www.hackerscatalog.com/Services/TECH_Notes/one.html) So yes, you can do a lot with a phone with a bad esn if you know what you're doing or pay someone who does. Keep in mind it would be easier to take a sprint phone to virgin mobile or verizon phone to page plus, etc. A lot of the settings will stay the same and cdma carriers use different frequencies for data and you might end up with 1x for data. If you need a how to guide, I could post a link. Let me know.

It works, just pop in the sim and power cycle. Theres a non verizon sim notification, but i'll figure out how to get rid of that soon enough. I would assume flashing a tmobile rom will do the trick

Never flash a ROM not meant for your device.
The Verizon phone looks for a cdma network that T-Mobile doesn't have, they use gsm. Two different technologies

You can flash roms from other provifders if the models are identical.
AT&T and T-Mobile roms can be flash back to back just make sure your modems are correct for your provider.
U CANT DO IT.
SELL UR GS3
AND FIND A TMO MODEL ON CRAIGSLIST!!!
I know it sucks, but thats just the way it.
Okay n00bs leave..
Seriously do some research before posting. My SPRINT HTC touch pro 2 works just fine on T-Mobile. So stop giving false info.
I found this. it may enable more than just roaming on GSM. I haven't read the entire thread or tried it myself well cause I has T-Mobile.
But it appears there may be some way to get it to work.
However from what I read.. seems you would be better off selling and buying T-Mobile (or possibly at&t if your area has T-Mobile 1900MHz) off Craigslist.

I had brand new windows phone from verizon before I moved to T-mobile and sadly i had let go my wphone, but I'm happy with my droid way way happy, sell it and you be fine just let it go.

As far as I am aware, Verizon will not activate an Epic 4G on their network. They'll use some excuse that it isn't in their system, and since it isn't as simple as swapping a SIM card, I'm afraid you're at their mercy.
YMMV, of course, but I wouldn't bank on it.
