Question; Evo on Boost Mobile? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've searched high and low, and found no definitive answer on how to get an HTC Evo working on Boost Mobile. Just a bunch of threads pre-2011 with flaming, some people saying it's impossible, some saying it's not and their phone works just fine with Boost.
My phone has been both rooted and carrier unlocked. Clean ESN and all that good stuff.
I need to know:
1) Is there any specific ROM I need to have to use Boost? If so, what is the link for that?
2) What PRL should I be using, and again, where can I find that?
Believe me when I say I've been searching through countless threads to find the answer. All there is to be found through searches is a pile of flaming.
Any help is much appreciated. And again, if there are threads on this, I certainly wasn't able to find them.

bump, someone help out a Marine?

You can use any rom with boost and you can use the latest sprint prl. The information needed to connect to boost is not at the rom level and boost uses sprint network so use a sprint prl. However you can't flash new radios without messing it up I believe. Roms are ok.

Wonderful. Thank you for the help!

You can flash nv/radio/pri without messing up your setup.

[Q] How to move Epic to Virgin Mobile?

[pointless boring intro, feel free to ignore]
Hello everyone, I have been following this site for a while, and I recently made an account so I could give feedback while I beta tested some ROMs. Well I can't post in the developer section yet so I thought I would ask a question or two.
[question]
So I searched the forums (I tried to be thorough but I am on the app so I may have missed the answer to this) and after being unable to find my answer I come to you community!
Does anyone know of a way to get a Samsung Epic 4G to work on Virgin Mobile? I saw some small discussions but nothing concrete.
I am curious because I have Sprint on my dad's plan (for I am but a poor college boy), and he sometimes forgets to pay the bill. I would like to get my own plan, but can't afford more than Virgin Mobile's $25 plan, but I love my Epic and VM is lacking the high end devices I crave.
So if anyone has any information on this, I would appreciate it. A tutorial would be nice, but I also want to learn, so even if a feasible means is not available, perhaps an explanation of why not is available. Also, if this is possible, what would I stand to lose if I did this?
Thank you for any future help.

I can't seem to find any info specifically on google or XDA towards this, so maybe Virgin Mobile isn't that popular to us high end phone techies?
Unfortunately I have no experience with this, but it has been done for the Boost network, so I suppose it could be possible. Check out this video on how to port it to Boost, maybe it can put you on the right track to getting on Virgin Mobile:
Switching to Boost
Again, no promises, but you wanted info.
Thank you. I believe I read somewhere that if you buy a Samsung Moment, and activate it on Virgin Mobile, then flash the Esn of that phone to the epic, it will work. I will check the video and see what I can come up with.

HTC Evo 4g

Hello guys and thanks for the wonderful forum dedicated to Android. Is amazing I am newbie on the smart phones arena but I have good understanding of computer and stuff
I have read several threads in order to gather all info before posting. I think I have learned somewhat what I need but I would like confirmation of the steps I must follow.
I have an HTC Evo 4g from Sprint not in use that I would like to connect to my MetroPCS account.
I have rooted the phone using the Unrevoke3. I take is NAND flashed already.
Now reading this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795182&page=110 Is my understanding I need follow this prep topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8395950#post8395950 and then jump into the Metrodroid 2.2 ?
After that what ROM do I need? What kernel? Then after that I must add the ESN to Metro ?
If this procedure is correct please let me know if not I will love to have some guidance I think I am close to complete the task.
Thanks again
Pifive
I personally have no idea. I know metro can flash a cdma over to their network but as far as a rom to use with it, i'm at a loss.
Hello just giving a small bump see what directions should I take or what I posted above is in the correct order of what I should follow?
Help appreciated.
I, too, would like to assist, but I don't know anything about MetroPCS or setting up the EVO to work with it. Sorry.

[Q] Evo 4g flashed to Metro Internet Help.

Alright, I tried looking up info on this for about 2 days. I seen the guide but I can't find a CDMA Workshop and I really don't want to pay $108 for the program when I'd only use it once. I'm just at a wall here.
Anyway, I have a EVO 4g running metrodroid, Calling and mms works fine and all that. Like I said I went to follow the guide to try and get the internet working but I can't find that program. My question is if there is another way that I didn't see or something of that sort. I'm sorry if I seem really noobish. I come and look at this site alll the time and it's been a big help for me in the past but I just don't know what to do.
I would post a link here but, I'd be violating the forum rules. What I can say is to look for cdma workshop in youtube they have videos and links in description. Hope that helps.

[Q] CDMA Workshop - R800x Question

Has anyone ever used CDMA workshop before? I have downloaed but not messed with it yet, but from what I have seen I am guessing it may allow you to I dont know, convert GSM ROMs to CDMA..... I am merely speculating on this clearly I need to read into it but there doesnt seem to be a great deal of info on this software. If anyone has used it and or knows anything on it mind explaining it to me and for everyone else that comes across this thread? Thank you in advance.

CDMA Workshop, oh man. I've used that software to get a Helio Ocean phone to work and get activated with Verizon.
Now sure if they've added new features to the software, but I just remember it required you to connect to a COM port (have fun finding drivers for that!) so you could do things like read lock codes, find SPC/MSL codes, write new ESNs, and write new roaming lists.
Its been a while since I've seen anything about CDMA Workshop
This thread might help.

I'm a noob to flashing and rooting, please help! Thanks in advance!

Good afternoon,
My name is JJ and my phone or service has taken a dump.
I have the Unlimited Plan with MetroPCS and its paid. I was on the phone today for an hour (on another device) and they have no idea what seems to be the problem. I live in great coverage zone. I have been having troubles connecting to the mobile network as well as getting, receiving both calls and texts. When I am connected to WiFi I am fine..ish. I set up apn settings a few times, most recent today with MetroPCS. My IMEI is good, paid in full phone which is a SM-G925T-ZDETMB (Galaxy s6 edge orginally from T-Mobile)
Took it to the store and they looked at me like I am a monkey.
I need my phone for work and can't afford to get another one. It seems to be in great working order other wise. I figure I might as well flash it and root it and make it mine or something. I downloaded ODIN and got freaked out because I have no clue what I am doing.
Be cool to flash it or root it with Nougat. Is that possible?
So I was hoping for a step by step guide here.
My service and phone worked great until about two weeks ago,..now its as intermittent and flipp flopped as Trump and his hair and policies. Thanks again in advance. Looking forward to a speedy reply. I got nothing else going on.
These forums are really dead for this device, you can root using this link: https://download.chainfire.eu/732/C...F-Auto-Root-zeroltetmo-zeroltetmo-smg925t.zip
There is no Nougat for us. You can flash new ROMs which give better battery life and other nice goodies, you can flash it after you root and install TWRP.
Sorry

Anyway you could give me a step by step? What is flashing compared to rooting? What is a ROM? No obligation here on this noob here.
Whats the difficulty with simply reading the threads here on the subject you're interested in? I mean after all, thats why they're here. If not, there'd be a million threads asking for step by step instructions. It seems like you have the competence to write your issue why not take it a step further and use the search button. Its clear you dont have any specific questions, youre simply looking for root instructions which have been posted and utilized by the thousands of other users who did use the search button. For whatever reason if youre needing these personalized Id suggest using your imagination and pretending they're written directly for you.
If youre still having issues, with this rather simple task that my 8 year old cousin could do by himself than perhaps rooting isnt your thing.. What youre asking is more basic than basic itself. By the way, when searching and reading you'll actually be gaining knowledge!
My apologies if you suffer from any health issues or current mental conditions that prevent you from these tasks..
Good luck
