Can the EVO work on BOOSTBOMILE???? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys, I was watching a video on YouTube about flashing the EVO 2 BOOST MOBILE , but they didn't say how, so is there a way or a program to do that and is it legal or illegal?

I'm just guessing but I doubt it. Boost mobile phones use a SIM card. And when you register your phone with their network it asks for the SIM card number.

In short no. Unfortunately the only way to get an evo on boost is by doing a esn clone which is a felony and even talkmg about it here will get you banned. Your best bet is metropcs or cricket. I have my evo on metropcs and i couldnt be happier. But keep in mind with either metro or cricket there will be no 4g or 3g only 1xrtt which is abot 80-120kb/s.
I know its not the answer your looking for but i hope it was helpful.
Also sprint and boost are borh cdma, and sprint owns boost, so no boost does not use a sim card.

But the new ones don't came wit a sim card , bc my SIS have one cell on boost wit out a don card

Boost uses both, sim card network (old Nextel band) and cdma (regular sprint band)...all depends on which phone you have. And yes, you can program an Evo to work on boost. But, it is not officially allowed and an esn clone is necessary. Not to mention the programming is complicated and is not something the average phone user should attempt. Hope this answers your question.

Sorry I misspoke, I should have specified that it is capable of 3g, if your in a 3g market, (which sadly im not)....Unless Daytona Beach is 3g and I just did something wrong...? any hope on that one...
But, I do know that 4g is not possible due to the fact that the EVO uses WiMax and MetroPCS is LTE.

How are you going to activate the EVO 4G on Verizon? As for flashing roms, they *should* have no effect on the PRL.

Won't happen. The DOJ, and FCC would have a very tough time approving it. Much less getting it past Congress. Too close to an election year. Plus if that were to happen then only thing you'll notice is possibly better reception, and a different looking invoice. Why do you think Chrysler still exists?

To answer your question, no. Flashing a different ROM won't effect your PRL.
However, it will effect your APN settings for sure. There may be other settings that would be effected as well. Google around for threads about people using Evos on PagePlus. Since it is a Verizon MVNO any of the things that would affect an Evo on PagePlus would effect an Evo on Verizon. *228 may fix some of those issues automatically with Verizon where it wouldn't with PagePlus.
Wondering how you're getting Verizon to accept your Evo in their system, how you're flashing the data settings, and why you're not getting a Thunderbolt instead since it is basically a spiced-up Evo.
The deal fell through does anyone want to trade ur evolution for my nook color

That's correct; GSM phones [AT&T as an example] use a different radio for 3G and voice. CDMA [sprint, verizon] use the same radio for data and voice. You can surf and talk if you are using wifi or 4G though.
Because Sprint sucks. :-D. and CDMA sucks too. :-D There are A BUNCH OF limitations on CDMA. Wonder if anyone has a link to all the limitations of it. then also compares GSM and other american based networks. :-D

You can do the following:
Install grove Ip, set it to use 3g/4g enter ur google voice info, and make phone calls over data, then u can surf and talk same time. Now if u get a real phone call ur call will drop though, unless u set ur phone to ignore calls while using data.
It amazes me what peoplbash on somethinge
They know nothing about. gsm sucks so bad they had to come up with different technology just to get 3g speeds... Which is why they can surf and talk at same time gsm for talk. And a completely different technology for data

Cant we use 4g while talking on the phone? Its a different antenna for both.
3g uses the same antenna as phone calls and can not share the antenna at the same time.
How many times have you made a phone call and needed to surf the internet?
Lol all the time I'm not sure how wimax works with cdma but i kno u can with lte
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
so can the photon 4g be able to be on the phone and internet in the same time?
If you are on 4g you can browse and make a call at the same time. When I am on 4g I can actually be on the phone while I run WIFI tether to 2 laptops.
If you can actually connect to 4g, service sucks here in Metro Atlanta.
Well thanks for the responses guys. That's all I wanted to know

question about 4g phones

If I buy a 4g phone online without a contract on verizon, do I have to upgrade to a 4g plan or can I stay on my current 3g plan?
should just be able to keep you're 3G plan.. the 4G is just an added benefit. you just wont get 4G service if you dont have the 4G plan

I don't believe there are any 3g or 4g plans, just data plans in general ? I'm pretty sure if you bought a 4g off contract and you activated it should work np.
Yeah, when I got my Inc 2 the plans and prices were identical to the 4g thunder I just got this cause my area has no 4g and won't for a long time...

What does this have to do with the dinc2
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
The only thing that is different is you have to purchase a 4g sim card. You have the 3g rtr removed and replaced by 4g. You can still switch back and forth but each time will take a visit to a store. If you just swap via myverizon it can make your 4g card unusable. The rep has to mark the card as reusable each time. If you are going 4g it would be best to just stay 4g due to the headaches.

Verizon ended telling me if I were to have a 4g phone is have to pay a seperate 4g data fee on $10 on top of my normal data plan.. maybe they just don't like me.. I dunno

The 4g phones cannot run on 3g alone. They have to be activated with a sim card.

Every GSM phone has a sim card while CDMA phones don't use sim cards so you wouldn't be able to put in a sim card to activate it

Dont waste your money. If you want an Android phone and on a GSM network you may look into the Samsung Infuse or something similar. But CDMA phones cant be used on GSM networks and GSM phones cant be used on CDMA networks.

Well heres the thing...I haven't had a phone since August and I'm on a tight budget right now. I've been looking at HD2's on Android but most of them are in New York (I'm in NJ)... The last phone I had was the Samsung Vibrant and it was terrible.. Phone calls were lost ETC (mind you, I had it rooted.) Before that, I had an HD2 and bricked it trying to get Android on it.. I've also been looking for a G2X, but still, thats a LOT more money than I was hoping to shell out.. I saw this add and kinda got really excited, since it was real cheap ($100..hes willing to go down to $75).

As far as I am aware, Verizon will not activate an Epic 4G on their network. They'll use some excuse that it isn't in their system, and since it isn't as simple as swapping a SIM card, I'm afraid you're at their mercy.
YMMV, of course, but I wouldn't bank on it.
