Evo on Boost Mobile

How is this possible? I've tried to read through a few tutorials for it, but they were mainly geared towards MetroPCS and I didn't fully understand it. Can anyone help me out?

not going to happen.
Boost = iDen network

They have a CDMA network through Sprint as well.

Anyone? I know it's possible since others are doing it, I just don't know how.

I've seen it done before, seriously no one is going to tell you how to do it, you'll have to search yourself, I've tried to do EVO on Verizon, it's been done, there is nobody who will give me a step by step because it's how you do you say not traditional to do this. Sorry man I am no help. just google it. you'll find better results.

I've been searching for a few hours, I cannot figure out how to do it.

Someone else was just asking about this. I posted a link to a guide there. That might get you started.

Thanks for the advice, but I'm not sure if that would work. That tutorial is several months old, and no one ever tried it for the Evo or as far as I can tell any Android phone.

Honestly, there is no easy way to do it. That link I gave you is by far the easiest way to do it, but like you said, no one has confirmed that it works on the EVO. The method is not OS specific however, so it shouldn't matter that you are using Android.
Since you are trying to get your EVO on Boost, I assume you already have a boost account, so why not try it? If you don't already have an account then you should probably give up because the cost and expertise required to do this might not be worth it to you.
If you are not afraid of highly technical and highly illegal work, then I suggest you start researching how to clone the esn of the boost phone you already own.

I do not own a boost phone yet, I'm interested in this because of the cheap pay as you go plans. .30c per day for unlimited data is pretty nice, in my opinion. As towards the cloning the MEID, IF I were to do this, would everything work correctly such as gps, web, voice, etc?

Everything should work correctly, except for some sprint apps, but I haven't tried it so I can't say for sure. From what I've read it won't work on pay as you go, you have to buy the $50/month unlimited plan.
Sprint ETF + Cheapest unlimited Boost phone = $200+80= $280
You would save $20/month with boost, so after 2 years the total savings versus keeping your Sprint account would be only about $200 max. Not worth the hassel in my opinion, but maybe having no contract is worth it to you.

Ah, that sucks. If I could get it on the pay as you go it would definitely be worth it.

Open the original phone in QPST (Service Programming)
Open the cloned phone in QPST (Serivce Programming)
Go tab by tab and try to match everything us as much as possible
if the cloned phone has a feature enable in Service Programming I've learned best to just ignore it and only clone everything from the original phone
Okay after that... what to do.. You need to get your HAA and AA keys copied over, I have the steps to do that as well in QXDM but the htc Hero doesnt seem to work with these steps or the vx9100 that I have... so the only way I can get it to work it to put a different phone on your network, then turn off the original phone and turn on the clone and then transfer the clone back on to your network, when you change the phone back and *228 it, it will write the Secret keys needed to get data,
and last but not least you need to get a prl that is made for your network. I have the latest prepaid prl for verizon.
If anyone can tell me how to fix my PRI that would be great!

[Q] Flash Talk/Text to Evo on Metro PCS

It says on the Metro PCS website that the EVO is METROFlash capable for talk/text. I called stores in my area and all of them said they can not flash an HTC EVO. When I asked why they flashed my Eris, but can't flash an EVO they said its too difficult. I have a Droid Eris on Metro now (they METROFlashed) with internet/mms/apps working (followed guide at howard forums). I've read some guides for enabling internet, etc. on the EVO and it appears the same, but how can I flash talk/text for the EVO on Metro? (Excluding craigslist and eBay)

search in the forums there is a thread..

I did first before posting this, but could only find internet threads. I'll search again.

You have to get it MetroFLASHED...
I did the same, only found 1 store who could. It's only the Metro Corporate stores who usually will.
You need an ID and sign a waiver. It takes about 20 minutes to flash. Tell them they have to atleast try since it's supported by Houdini and listed on their website.

Those are both for internet, which I already know how to do. The first one specifically says you first need a flashed EVO to Metro, which is what I'm trying to learn.

Thanks! I have one near by, their number was listed as something like 888-5metro and when I called it, it was all automated. I kept saying AGENT to talk to a person but it kept saying "I think I can assist you quicker, but if I can't I'll get you an agent" then never got me an agent.

[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.

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?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 flashed to cricket all works but no internet

Hello I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 that I had flashed to cricket. My father had an old utstarcom phone with a clean esn so I flashed that esn to my s3 and called cricket and added a line to the account my father has with his kyocera phone. I chose the 45 dollar plan for my self and got the phone working as for as talk text and mms. I can not get any kind of internet connection except wifi. I have tried to go to update prl and profile but I get error code 407 or something like that. I followed the guide from cricketusers but cant get any help there. Can any one please point me in the right area to get internet on my s3 or tell me what I need to do, I have DFS Demo and cdma Workshop full version and qpst. Thanks anyone.

You're on the wrong rate plan. You have to be on a $50 a month or higher Android/Smartphone rate plan to get the web to work on your flashed device. You also have to make sure that the phone "Model" on your account is set to Kyocera M6000 for the best experience. Also, I would be careful with swapping the ESN from a different phone to your S3, as that is illegal and you can be fined for doing that.
I am a flash tech with Cricket in my town and I have the same phone flashed. You can follow this tutorial here: http://www.cricketusers.com/cdma-sa...galaxy-s3-cricket-talk-text-mms-internet.html It's pretty simple if you follow the instructions carefully, but I would try to change your plan first then pull the battery and restart the phone and see if maybe it'll start working. If the programming is right and you have MMS, then you should just have to change plans, but I could be wrong there.

I got everything working with the $45 plan also got the esn updated to the phone itself. I have talk, text, web, mms everything, Found the answer on another site.
Thanks.

Glad you got it working. Just curious, what are your web speeds? If you're not on an Android rate plan you're only getting 1x speeds, which is why I noted you were on the wrong one.

Note 2 pageplus go back to sprint

I have a note 2 (sprint bad esn) that I cannot get flashed to page plus.
I have had this phone on Verizon prepaid until it crapped out.
I then put it on boot mobile but could not get it to work
I then am now trying to get it on Page plus.
I have tried Wireless Workshop, manually doing it with CDMA and DFS, and have taken it to 2 different companies in my town to have it flahed. They cannot findout anything that is wrong with the phone and still cannot get it to properly flahsed.
So my options are Is there a way to get this thing flashed back to sprint. (stock data, mms, and voice) settings and re flash it to page plus or can i just take it back to a sprint store and they can do it for me?
thanks!
Chris

What's exactly wrong with it ? I've got mine flashed to Verizon prepaid but its basically the same as pageplus far as flashing
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

Thanks for the reply.
The company that flashed it was remotewirelesstech.com
They flashed it then about 2 months later it crapped out on me. I lost data then i lost voice/text a couple of weeks later.
I contacted them and they said that they will not reflash bc alot of ppl have hadthis happen to them in the past.
So I tried to flash to Boost. Got everything to work, then I got no data or voice.
I then tried to use wireless workshop to go to Pageplus but nothing would work.
Someone told me that Pageplus will not allow rooted phones, so I unrooted and went back to a stock rom 4.1.2.
I reflashed with wireless workshop and now when I try to call it askes to add money to the account.
But nothing works. I still have 2 dollars on my PP account.
I then took it to 2 different flashing companies around my area and they could not figure it out. (II think they both done just automated one click methods) but Ive even tried to get it to work with CDMA workshop and DFS to no avail.
If someone is up to it, I can donate paypal to get this thing flashed remotly. Im so desperate.
I paid almost 500 for this phone last march and now If I sell it, It will only get 300 out of it. But I love my Note II, and was thinkgin about buying the verizon model if I sell this one.
Any suggestions??

i can help
i can do a remote flash.... those 1 click methods dont work to well....i use dfs
pm me and we can set up something
