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:

Howdy everyone,
I got a verizon incredible that will be used on sprint. i keep reading other posts where people complain about roms with sprint remnants left over.
are there any roms tha ALL of the sprint provisioning apps are still in he rom?
my main concern is setting up data.
can anyone recommend a rom that is made for sprint or at least a rom with as much sprint remnants as possible?
thanks in advance

No ROM is made for Sprint because the DInc community is primarily on Verizon. However, you can try the port of the EVO Classic, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399512&highlight=classic
It might have some Sprint stuff leftover.
thank bro

When the GB OTA first dropped it had a few Sprint remnants, the market had a Sprint link instead of a Verizon link and the build prop listed the wrong screen size and had a few mentions of Sprint. Verizon eventually fixed the issues and all the dev's updated their ROM's so finding that first original OTA will be tough as no one is around anymore and really not worth finding as it had so few Sprint things in it anyways.

Wait are you saying you want to use the incredible with sprint service, or use the incredible with vzw service but a sprint phone ported rom?
To the best of my knowledge the htc incredible will not work on sprints network, as the inc is a cdma phone and the sprint network is gsm. I could be wrong about that though.
If you want to use a sprint ported rom, your bes bet would be to learn how to use android kitchen and port a sprint rom of your liking to the inc. Its not likley any already ported ink rom arround has all the correct things needed to run on the sprint network.

And the Inc has almost the exact same hardware as Sprints EVO and that is where a lot of our kernels were coming from.
hello again,
sorry if i wasnt clear, i am using the incredible on sprint (currently voice/txt works but no data) so i was wondering if there are any roms for the incredble that are already setup for sprint? i know it is not a native sprint device, i was just hoping maybe someone had put together a sprint rom.
anyone else using an incredible on sprint? any advice on getting data working would be appreciated.
thanks again

No clue on getting it to work on Sprint, and I haven't personally seen any sprint ROMS. I'm surprised you were able to get it working on sprint. i thought they checked for ESNs before activating it. Perhaps fool around with the APN settings.

You are the first person I've ever heard of using the Inc on Sprint and there are no Sprint specific ROMs here. There is a thread on a ROM for MetroPCS and Cricket and I don't know if it would be of any help to you as it was only a WIP (work in progress and never finished).

Actually, check out mikrunny 3.0 Rom from his website. I'm running it now, and it seems to be setup for Sprint (not that it matters)

you didnt tell me you were getting into this
only the 1x will work no 3g
but its not a bad little setup
its similiar to doing a boost flash if you dont have access to the secret stuffs
use opensesamedoor method
CDMA WS paid will give you some stuff too
you also wanna grab the profile 0 and 1 AAA and HA keys with DFS
once thats done you can slap them on your "fashed" Inc and get her done
man
you gotta PM me more often about this stuff i Love it
BTW
you should just go with the dinc2 you can set that up on sprint in about a hour
What did you need to do to get sprint service working?
I have an old incredible and LG ally that I would love to be able to activate on Sprint in the event that I manage to brick my epic 4g touch (which is an imminent possiblity what with the unsafe recoveries we have available...) were you able to do this solely from home or did you need to get a Sprint tech involved?
All the Sprint and Verizon techs I spoke to about this said that they are not allowed to activate off-network phones, and that their jobs aren't worth me having a cheaper phone (can't really blame them.)
I was wondering if anyone still on the OG EVO uses Ting? They use Sprint devices and now you can bring in your own old Sprint phone to use with their service.
I have a friend who just did his EVO and is thinking about Rooting and flashing and all that hot jazz. I wanted to make sure that it would all work the same way ROM wise while on Ting. On the website it does state that the phone needs to be stock before switching over but after that you can mod it. They don't care what is done it seems. I like to be extra cautious though.
No, but I am thinking of moving there temporarily until I figure out what phone I want next.
Ok so, originally I was going to get the epic 4g touch because I cant afford the s3. But my friend has a gs3 for sprint for sale for 160. Im currently on cricket because I pay my own bill (teenager problems I guess lol) but I just want to know can the sprint s3 be flashed to criket at a cricket store? I dont have computer access (im posting from my tab 2 10.1) or the knowledge to flash by myself. Plus, im lazy. Lol. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I would say yes, only knowing that I've seen others flash to boost, straight talk, etc. You may want to double check with the store to see if they will do it before hand.

Cool. Thanks!
Hello, im failry new to flashing phones to other carriers. The only thing i have is the slightest idea of rooting and that is with my old ZTE warp. I was looking into buying a Samsung Galaxy S3. I was wondering if i bought the "SPRINT SAMSUNG GALAXY S III 3 SPH-L710" could i flash it so i can use straight talk or boost mobile on it? If anyone could link me to a source, it'll be much appreciated.
I think it can be flashed to boost. I'll see if I can find the link.
