Don't know about any roms, but my buddy who works for metro told me people go in all of the time with Sprint phones and request to bring it to their network including Evos. From what I understand, you can just take it to Metro and they'll do it for you. I don't know how accurate that is, but give it a shot.
i have called a couple places they told me no

I've searched the forum and came across a few threads but didn't quite answer my question. I just would like to know is it necessary to have cricket service first and if not what protocols would I have to follow to get service on my evo?
I looked over my post and maybe I didn't make my self clear on what I was trying to do. I want to put cricket service on me evo. I rooted my evolution and I know how to put the Tom and all of the necessary packages on it. I just want to know if I have to have the service first or it doesn't matter.

Go to Development subforum, in the stickies there is a flashing to alternate carrier roll up.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Yeah man thats the same guide i tried to use. I had to use many other guides to get the programs needed, The phone i finally got to recognize the modem, and all the software but when using QPST It wouldn't recognize the actual phone, i'm not sure if it's due to the fact the phone isn't connect to any service.
Still displays "Activation not completed" on the actual device

So I'm on bs sprint and still have a little over a year for my contract to be up so if all's well I will be flashing me and my gfs phones to another carrier and buying out of our cantract since we're basically paying 200 dollars for the same service. I'm wondering if anybody is willing to help me out with the flashing process (this will be my 1st time) by directing me to the best carrier to flash to how toos and so fourth. I'm currently rooted and my gf isn't but I can have that done in minutes when it's time. I'm hoping to go to virgin boost or cricket if anyone knows anything about flashing to any of these carriers. Can online help? Please and thanks

Actually edfunkycold has been extremely helpful. No I'm not trying to be confrontational. My apologizes in advance if that's the way it sounds. The threads that edfunkycold pointed you to have the information necessary to complete what you want to do. There is going to be quite a bit of reading, and research involved. Especially as this is your first time. The best advice I can give you is read, read, and read some more. If you have any questions search the thread that pertains to what you are trying to accomplish. If you still cannot find the answer post up in that thread. Someone is usually around to help, in almost every thread. BTW, yes I do know how hard it is to search for answers to questions sometimes . Even though I've been around for a while, I still use the search function quite a bit. Sometimes more than I'd like to admit.

I honestly agree with u 100% edfunkycold cnexus and whiplash are always 1st on the scene when I need help. I just always see people saying to search. I always search b4 I post a thread and I only post a thread to get as much help as possible. There is no real filters on here and u could be stuck on the same thread for days b4 finding what u need. I also feel like posting new threads helps other noobs find things easier than finding something that was posted a year ago. I honestly meant no disrespect to anybody on these forums especially the people that's always helping and if any was taken i apologize

No offense taken at all. But read what you wrote. You feel that by starting a new thread it helps new noobs find it. You don't think that adds to the already hundreds of threads which exist, many of them repeated questions on the same topic? Now that is going g to make it even more difficult for a new person to find the thread with the correct information.
Keep in mind the longer threads with more activity are usually the ones with all the right answers. Some reading and searching will be necessary. Within the thread itself you can search that specific thread to get the information you need and the results come back in order from newest post to oldest post.
I search every day, I search mostly for people that are looking for answers. Keep in mind I do it all from my phone mobile so I only use the app.

Yes I understand that but thanks to people like u and the others I mentioned links are posted to those threads right on the pages we often look for. Even tho there are repeat questions not everyone has the same desire there fore when the links a provided we get helped as much as we can by this. This isn't a dispute or argument in anyway but a "noobs stand point of thinking" if that's what u wanna call it. Maybe this explains it or maybe it doesn't but it shows we have a high regard for this Site instead of going to another forum or Google searching our issues (which most leads back to here). This is a good Site and everyone is loved here especially by us noobs. I'm not sure if u seen it but a while ago I wrote a thank you post cause what u guys do here is awesome and if it wasn't for u guys my phone would be plain old vanilla my mind bored and a bunch of noobs lost hopelessly. Maybe if we can get some filters on here maybe for dates or key words or different updates there wouldn't be soo many repeat threads. U said yourself u search using your phone (as do I 99% of the time) how long does it take u to usually find a thread you've never seen on a topic u barely have any info about?

If your on the XDA app you can click on more in the upper right hand corner then the search button to search in general View attachment 2180302
If you want to search a specific thread on the xda app you need to be in the thread then click settings then click Web view to take you to a browser then use the search function View attachment 2180309
I would recommend the Tapatalk app which is much much better and you can search in general or within a specific thread right from the app. You can search by key words and also by specific username as well. View attachment 2180312View attachment 2180313

If you go Boost or Virgin you will need a donor phone,If you go Cricket you will not as they allow flashed phones on their system.Crickets service is OK but with a flashed phone you will always be 3G no 4G. The S3 is a fairly easy phone to flash you can do it with QPST. Or since you are in louisville the corporate stores can flash it for you pretty cheap.

Yes it's about 50 to 100 dollars tho I think. But I'd rather learn it myself and hustle their customers instead of them hustling me lol. I'd be fine with 3g that's all I get with sprint anyway. Can u explain the qpst thing? I've seen it b4 but don't quite understand it

Use this guide only instead of using DFS use QPST http://www.cricketusers.com/cdma-sa...galaxy-s3-cricket-talk-text-mms-internet.html you could use DFS as well I just prefer QPST and a note if you use QPST write two profiles enable both of them and just make one active seems to work better that way.

Hey Guys,
I been a member here for a while and dont really ever find the need to post anything because you guys answer my question in other peoples problems This time I am stumped. I cannot ge this phone fixed.
I have a Spring Samsung Galaxy S2 (Epic 4G Touch) that was flashed fully working for Page Plus. This was unknown to me when I got the phone and was asked to fix it. I flashed the stock rom back to it (HOME_SPH-D710_CL852097_user.tar) using odin. Thats when i learned it was a page plus phone.
So my question is, how can i get this phone to work on Page Plus again. I assume it was flashed with a donor phone that i do not have access to.
Thanks for reading this far and any help you can provide.
Also,
My friend is OK if I can make the phone work on boost if that is an option. I flashed a boost rom thinking it was a sealed deal......nope.
APN and MMSC settings have to be correct. Just flashing a ROM does not set the provider settings.

OK. Thats a good start.
Do you or anyone have these settings and the know how of how to change them?
I don't know the settings. There are a few tutorials in the general section. Google could help or our very own search function.
You may have wiped out the Pp flash with odin. That will require a new donor phone to fix. The APN and MMSC settings will need to be set after. But chances are you just need to set those as I am not sure if going completely back to stock wipes a provider flash.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using xda premium
I have flashed a page plus prl using QPST and that at least got the phone services running. Talk and text. still no data and mms.
I have googled and changed the APN and MMSC settings with no change in functionality. And I have gotten the sprint hands free activation to stop bothering me.
If the info is out there, I have googled my eyes out. Can anyone spoon feed this information if they have it.
I need data and MMS working on this messed up Epic 4G touch.\
Thanks again!
