Can anyone tell us how to use the epic on boost mobile or virgin mobile? With virgin you only pay $25 unlimiyed data. Thanks.
Not legally

Its a phone- and a carrier.
It's illegal to change the ESN

Would much rather keep my E4GT than get a Galaxy Nexus. Can I use it on VZ?
No you can not. Verizon does not allow sprint phones on their network.

Thanks. Google wasn't doing much for me this morning.
Hold on,old epic could be flashed to verizon I dont see why you cant flash epic touch.
They are both cdma phones and will work on verizon minus 4g.

If you have friends in high places they can get esn added but doesn't happen often..... Otherwise it's illegal options with changing esn from one phone to another ..... In my opinion it's not worth it sell e4gt buy another phone so much easier

Changing ESN is illegal?
What about cloning esn from a donor phone to flash epic to virgin mobile,boost and cricket.
You trying to.say that those methods in them threads are not legal?

Technically yea they are not legal if you are doing It and paying for service not so bad but yea they frown upon it because it can be done to steal service
Cricket does not involve changing Esn ....boost and virgin and others do because you can't use phones that they don't sell and are usually low range Android....you can't call up virgin and have them activate a topic touch but you can go to cricket and they will flash it

He yo fellow E4GTers.
I read recently that Bayan Communications runs on a CDMA baseband, yet when I contacted Sprint I was told that I cannot make use of my phone through Sprint in the Philippines. Any reason as to why the E4GT cannot make avail of the CDMA network there?
Thnaks in advance!
They have no contract with them?

Could be different frequency. I believe sprint uses 800/1900.

I am looking for a smartphone replacement for a teenager who is on Virgin Mobile unlimited data plan. I see a lot of cheap EVO 4G with bad Sprint ESN on eBay, and I was wondering if it is possible to flash them to ICS Virgin Mobile.
Are there working ICS ROMS with Virgin Mobile?
He currently has the Samsung Intercept on VM
Thanks all
Yes just check the development section or google it any more questions pm me
Hit the thanks button if i helped
Thanks! I just bought one on eBay for him. $70 shipped.
When it gets here I will try to flash it over to Virgin Mobile using that thread...
MMS and 3G and all work ok on ICS/VM?
Thanks again all
I'm pretty sure you don't want to buy a bad esn phone... Bad esn to carriers means reported missing or stolen. I think virgin mobile is a child of sprint, so they might not activate it. Ask a a reputable dev, or mod.

I have a sprint Epic 4G Touch that I'll soon no longer need on my sprint plan, and was thinking about putting it on my fiancee's virgin plan. What did you do to get the sprint phone onto the virgin plan?

Isn't that illegal these days? Unless your carrier lets you?

You're assuming the only option is to change the phone's ESN, I didn't assume that, and was asking the OP how he went about getting the phone activated, nothing else.
Maybe the only option is an ESN swap, in which case I wouldn't be interested, but until the OP has told me otherwise, I'm curious.

well I have htc evo v 4g and the phone die, so I refused to buy another phone till my friend sold me the d710, and I use my HTC ESN is already in virgin mobile database, and I called they me my MIN which I couldn't get off HTC because was dead. than I just program it into the phone and f there's ton of tutorial how to do it. I'm on 35 dollars plans... why would it be illegal if I'm paying for my services...
Well its in the grey area. And xda doesnt want it to be discussed within their site. Pm sure. Just not in the open.

ok, I got my answer, thanks, it wasn't what I was hoping for, but at least now I know that there is no "non-fishy" way of doing it.
I would like to flash a sprint note 2 to boost mobile. I am reading up on the boost mobile thread. And I have been reading up on CDMA Workshop. I'd like to use whats recommended in the thread here (DFS). However, I am a little confused and have a few q's.
Do I need a donor phone?
Will this work with a bad esn phone?
Thx!

I am pretty sure with boost you need a donor. Any cheap android will work but remember 4G wont work with your note 2. Also a bad esn phone can be flashed over to boost. It requires you to change the note 2 esn to match that of the donor phone. Xda does not like that kind of discussion on it's forum so dont ask for help with that in a public thread or face the wrath of the mods you will.
