[Q] Incredible ROM for sprint - HELP Please

Can someone help make a HTC Incredible ROM for the Sprint network. I have a Incredible working on sprint and would like the ability to update the Profile info to fix my data issues ... also so it has the right PRL file and other items.
Any help would be nice
Thank You

Would love to know as my friend is looking into getting a used android to pit on boost, would be interested to see if he could use my Inc when I upgrade.

I'm no expert. I thought sprint used GSM, this WIKI shows they are the same Radio Technology(CDMA). I know Evo radio firmwares works with the DINC. Can't say it's impossible, there used to be a cricket rom on here.
I'd repost in Q&A section. Your likely to get closed down and flamed out here.

I think I've heard Sprint won't activate an ESN not in there system

I have VZW Incredible on Sprint, we will not go int details on the forum but my im using ported evo rom, the profile or prl update section in rom does not work however im guessing you can get calls and text msgs to work but you have no 3G?
Next Question is if phone and sms are working did you do it yourself? Because if you did then it makes the process of explaining a whole lot easier.

I was under the impression Sprint blocked VZW ESN

OH they definitely do but theres always a work around

wayne2410 ... yes i did it my self and the Phone works and texting but no data. My thought was if someone can show me or cook me a ROM for the incredible with all of the sprint items built in I can update my profile and let sprint fix the Data on the phone. I have put in the AAA password and everything just wont get data. If you have some other idea to help out please email me.
Thanks,
Jay

Cook an Incredible ROM for Sprint
So is anyone willing to Help me COOK a ROM that is for the Incredible but will sprint base files ... and will this even work after i install the ROM can i update the Profile from sprint and fix my data issues ?

Isn't it easier to just get a sprint phone

Yes it would be easier to get a Sprint phone and if sprint offered a HTC phone that was good without having to pay for 4G i would ... my wife will never use 4g and there is no need for me to pay for it ... but her HTC Hero sucks

Hey jhamady check your email I sent you info that i used t get my Droid incredible working on sprint $20.00 Free and clear 3000 min unlimited data plan LOL

Sprint charges 10th for any smart phone not just 4G. Read up on stuff before you assume.

Will get you info soon

I too am having the same issues, the aaa is in, but no data. If anyone could forward me the directions going around from wayne, I would be extremely grateful. An incredible without data is incredibly frustrating.

Any Luck
anyone have any more luck getting data to work... I am about ready to give in. I still think if we can get someone to cook an Incredible ROM with sprint sys files we might be able to run update profile and let it repair its own data connection but even that might not work.

Recomendations?
I've been looking around through ported roms and thought that would be the best place to start.
If any of you guys using a Dinc on Sprint could recomend a rom that has as much of the "sprint" left in it as possible that would be awesome.
I'm running a Dinc with the EVO 2.15.00.11.19 Radio and EVO 1.90 PRI.
This thing ran awesome for about a month then out of nowhere something when haywire and no amount of revising my settings, COMPLETELY wiping and reflashing everything seems to fix the issue. I'm hoping a rom that will accept a OTA PRL and/or "Firmware" (PRI) update will fix it. If not, then I don't care and I'll find a new phone. ha ha

[Q] gift EVO 4g rooted...but ESN transfer via SPrint issues....

Hello Gentlemen and Ladies.
I was recently given a rooted Sprint HTC EVO 4G.
I bowed down and kissed the ground in thanks.
We, my benefactor, and I went post haste to the Sprint Store to get my number transferred over on to my miraclulous new device.
This went fine. We got the number swapped to the new phone, BUT
driving home we realized that it actually did not work.
So we called sprint tech support and after a long difficult conversation we realized they could not assist us.
Im asking you Kings and Queens of the Evo 4G.....is there a way I can get a rom that will allow Sprint tech support to assist me in getting my phone set up properly?
and WHICH of the 9jillion roms should i flash to?
Thank you in advance from a sparkly new noob who is worthy of nothing but contempt.

For ease of use for them activating it, just flash a stock rom, preferrably the latest one. Then once it's fully activated, you can flash another rom you like. Technically you should be able to activate it with any sense rom, but again, to make it easy for you and sprint just flash a stock one.

I agree, I would flash a stock rom that does not unroot your phone:

[Q] Sprint to Cricket

Hi all:
first post here
I just got a Sprint S3 with cracked screen and bad esn for $95 and the screen still works
I had to spend $25 on gas to get it so i guess total = $120 but still not bad
Anyhow i see lots of tuts and videos on how to go from Sprint to Cricket but almost all of them say to use your cricket phone number.
I dont have cricket in my area but where my sister lives she does which is a couple states away from me.
Anyhow i not sure if im gonna make a deal with her or not but that is what originally got me looking in this direction as i usually use skype over wifi but mainly i switch to GV over wifi and it works really good with groove ip
ANYHOW
how do i go about following those tutorials on changing phone from sprint to cricket when i dont actually have any of that data to put in since i dont have a cricket phone with cricket service so if the next person that actually got the phone with cricket service could have it programmed for their area and have it work correctly?
thanks

What's the value if it has a cracked screen? FYI the screen on the s3 is about 300 to replace and you can get a new one on craigslist for that. Anyways see WWW.cricket users.com for instructions on flashing they have all the tutorials you need.

No if its only the screen and not the digitizer it can be replaced for $30 in 15 mins by the right person.

Thanks
FNM

did anyone actually even read my the original post that started this thread (that replied in this thread)
people answered how to or not to fix my screen more then anything else
i have read and followed the tutorials on how to flash from sprint to cricket
that is not my Q
how do you do it when you dont have cricket service (cricket phone number)?
what would i enter as my cricket phone number (if i was going to send it to my sister in kansas) so it would be almost all ready for her to start using it without her telling me any of her info?
thanks
just want it to be ready to use like a normal person with cricket service who had bought this phone off ebay and wants to activate with cricket.
im not saying i want to sell it yet as i just got it but im sure some day within next 6months i might or i might make a deal with my sister so if anyone buys the phone and wants to activate with cricket i would like it to be painless as possible
see if i had cricket service i am sure i could cdma tool and enter everything i need to get it working but if it goes to someone new i am sure they will just want to activate like normal and without entering a (cricket) phone number in those tutorials with cdma tool would it make it hard for the next person to activate it on cricket?
would they be able to do it over the phone with cricket or could they take that newly flashed phone in to cricket and they would be able to get it done?
hope someone understands what im saying
if it was for me (and i currently had cricket) im sure that would be easy because i know the web and these tools
what happens when a person gets these phones and dont know any of that stuff?
is it treated just like a regular cricket phone when you take it in their shop?

They deflashed my flashed BoostMobile EVO4G

Ok so I know I did the ultimate no-no with a flashed phone. BoostMobile tech support tried to update my profile. I know I shouldn't have done this. I called both Sprint and BoostMobile tech support for help. My Sprint EVO 4G, flashed to Boost, was being blocked by my boyfriend's Sprint Airave. This is the 2nd EVO4G I have had flashed to boost. The first one (lost forever!) was flashed for over a year, we had the airave then too with no conflict issues. Lost phone. Bought new one (sprint) had it flashed. Now it tries to use the airave.
Differences:: New phone is rooted with Synergy RLS1. Old one was not rooted and had stock ROM on it.
New issues:: CONSTANT notifications about voice mail update. (never had that before). Attempting any kind of call results in error from Airave. I understand WHY! I just want to Stop the BOOST-SPRINT communication and make calls like I did before.
Anyway, I told them the AIRAVE problem, and told them I had custom ROM, ROOT and FLASHED phone they said "No Problem! We know what to do". they screwed the phone up and then accidentally dropped the call. So here I am after days of searching, reading, contemplating, still without phone service. Booting the phone results in loop of ATTEMPTING HANDS FREE ACTIVATION. and many times while on. Under settings, System Updates if I click on update profile it says.....Previous DM session is working now please try again later.
Will I have to go through the whole flash process again? Since I just did this 3-4 weeks ago there isn't much I need to save on the phone. I have all the versions and settings numbers from the phone but just didn't know which ones to post.
Frustrated, Aggravated and Completely out of touch with the world!!!

I would have never gotten to days. After a few hours of no success, I would have just started over

yes I do appreciate the advice. And in moving forward that is the best choice.
Also in moving forward I am hoping that some of the senior members might have comments as to why the almost identical phone was now being blocked by the sprint Airave and getting the constant Sprint notifications of updated voice mail. Surely there is a way to shield the phone from the airave. Other than calling Sprint (no results) or calling Boost ( wrong results) someone has to have figured out a way to stop this.
Any speculations, suggestions, or comments?

What kind of donor phone did you use to flash the Evo?

That I do not know. I have not been able to reach the person who flashed the phone. I will ask that when I reach them. btw I have the original boost phone that was associated with my account before I flashed the first time. That was the donor then, I think. And I was thinking that I should re-register that phone before I flash back again with this 2nd phone. Is that thinking a valid thought?

I found the type of phone. I logged in under my account and it says the current phone is Sanyo SCP-6760 Incognito. I can use the account to change the the phone back to my original handset that I used for years and was the handset I used to fllash to the first EVO I had.

Yeah, I was gonna say, anytime you need to know what donor phone was used to flash your phone..just log into your Boost account and click on "Update Handset" this will tell you exactly what phone is on your account aka used as your donor phone. It will almost always be either the Incognito or Rant. ((But anyone thinking of flashing a phone, should never have this problem because you should always have physical possession of the donor used on your account..there is not one single reason why the person flashing your phone would need to hold on to your donor. Period. So always make sure that you ask for , and receive the donor phone used to activate your Sprint phone)))
That being said...Unfortunately, your phone is going to need reflashed again, and you definitely did not need to activate the previous donor on to your Boost account. You just needed to contact the person who flashed your phone and (hopefully) he still has your donor phone and will be able to pull your passwords (profile info ) out of it again and write it to your Sprint phone. (Like you already seem to be aware of) when your profile was reset, that meant that it did not match what was on your flashed Sprint phone. You'll need to (first activate the donor that was on your account before you just switched it to your previous one) and then update the profile (on that donor) and then put it on your Evo and you'll be good as new...OR just reflash your phone all together with the donor that you just activated on the account.
As far as the Voicemail Update issue...I have noticed this being pushed constantly to the Sprint phones also(including my Evo LTE on Boost) , I honestly don't believe there is a way to stop it. It doesn't really bother me anymore it just sits in the notification tray all the time. I imagine that eventually Sprint will stop pushing it to their phones. If I do ever come up with a fix for it though I will be sure to try and look this thread up or pm you with it. Good luck with getting your Evo back online...and word to the wise..never call Boost for anything if you have a flashed phone on your account...First off they will trouble shoot it as if its the donor phone..Second, their standard protocol is to Update the profile, and/or Factory reset the phone, either of which will interrupt the service on your flashed Sprint phone.

Can Someone Please Help Me Out Here?

I bought an EVO 4G last night from craigslist that was supposedly flashed to boost.
After many hours I have managed to figure out the IMEI they used and got it working. Problem is the IMEI they used only gives me talk and text.
What I am trying to do at this point is get the original MEID back on the phone so I can switch to Page Plus.
That or change the MEID to that of a prevail or zte warp sequent that I have.
Either way I need at least 3g speeds so I can use my laptop through the phone when Im out. Otherwise Im stuck at home all the time so I can do my job.
Please let me know if you can help. THanks.
I tried zeroing it with revskills but apparently I didnt know how to do it right or something. It gave me an error and never worked.
