I picked up a EVO 4G from a friend who had it flashed to work on a service provider called Clear Talk, he says it can work on cricket, and Metro PCS also. Not sure where to begin, on getting this phone on my Sprint Account. Do I have to get it reflashed first just to get the line active and then proceed to root etc. Need a little help on where to start, thank you in advance
By flash you mean a custom rom is flashed right? If so, you are already rooted. I would ask your friend which method he/she used. Also, before flashing any other Rom, turn off the device. Once its off, hold vol. Down and power until your booted into recovery. Meanwhile, you can download any Rom for the evo and place it on the root of your sd card. At that point, go into recovery and choose flash .zip from sd card or something like that. Let it run and then reboot.
Also, it would be smart to put the Rom on your sd card before anything. When you download a Rom, don't extract the .zip file.

Figure out what rom is on there, make a backup of it just incase.
Thanks I will ask him, before I start on anything, but should I get the phone activated before I do any changes to the device or could I do what I want and then be able to activate it. This is my first time owning a phone that is not activated on my account
Does anyone now how to update the evo if its flashed?
So what is needed to flash a phone to a company like ClearTalk. A lot of people have ClearTalk down here and I had a phone that I wanted to flash to them so my sis could buy it, but I have no idea exactly what was needed to do it. Thanks
the phone has to be reprogrammed (not simply a ROM) using your PC and software tools such as QPST and CDMA Workshop. That or you take it to an actual Clear, Cricket, MPCS store and let them flash it using their software.
Google is your friend: "how to flash (insert phone here) to (insert provider)" for example.......
If your EVO is already flashed to another provider then it is HIGHLY LIKELY that you bought a stolen phone/one with a bad ESN (for whatever reason) that can never be reactivated on the Sprint network, hence the reason it was flashed to another provider

anyone know how to?
Hi... i just finished rooting and trying to flash my HTC EVO over to metro pcs. all was supposed to happen smoothy but sadly it didn't. The problem is when the metro pcs people try to program my number into the phone using ##000000# it won't let them access that menu. They told me i might have to factory reset then try, but then i would lose all my info... I'm running 2.3 ota, is there anything i can do to get my phone working with metro...plz plz plz help....mind you this has been going on for two weeks now and i have spent to much money trying to fix the problem...thanx
Google MSL Finder or Locator and use that to determine what your MSL is because it is not the 6 zeroes.
Once determined, you can provide it to MPCS or change it to 000000.
Hope this helps.

Yes you can. You just need to flash a metro prl to your phone, and then contact them. They should be able to do the rest ota. You can get a metro prl here http://www.corolada.com/prl/. If on a stock rom you can flash it with epst, if not you need to use a pc program called QPST.
Man you are the greatest..Seriously!
Im gonna try it right now
Although i need help because QPST cant detect the phone. Im pretty sure that means that the phone needs to be in diagnostic mode
But im trying to get in it but i can't. Does it have to do with being in Tiny's CM10 and not stock?
Well update, i went to gingerbread and changed the prl but i dont think my number got transfered although the metropcs system works
Any help with this?

Simply changing the prl will not program your phone. The prl meerly allows metro to comunicate with the phone. Im not sure exactly how metros system works. Do you already have an account and number from metro, and is the phones meid registered on metro? If it is you can probably dial *228 and select the option to program if metro uses this option. If you dont have an accout or your phone isnt registered with metro, you will need to call them and do so. You just give them the phones meid they register it, and then program the phone ota (over the air).
my buddy gave me his evo 4g for my lil bro and he had it rooted with cm9 4.0.4....but couldnt figure out how to unroot...ive tried every method and cant get anything to work i cant get S-ON its stuck on off , can any one help me? Can't flash anything through clockwork mod either I want to return to stock so I can activate
No need to unroot in order to activate the phone. Flash a Sense ROM to your phone. You'll be able to activate it then. Make sure you back up your current setup in case something goes wrong and you have to go back. AOSP ROM's like Cyanogenmod lack the ability to update PRL and profile, which is needed for activation.
