I too have a similar setup. I flash every rom that comes out. Only thing that will give you problems would be the epst settings.
If you were to flash a verzion rom, chances are the apn and epst settings would b set up for their service.
You can dial ##778# to edit these settings . I dont know Boost mobile's ESPT settings.

how did you get a dinc on boost. thought they had to be sprint phones with clear esn's?
Yes how did you do this i would love to ditch Verizon and head to Boost. I would save 50 plus bucks a month!

So nobody knows of any roms to use w/ incredible on boost mobile?
you can find one on ebay, the sellers id was everythingcellular i think, or you can find someone off ebay,google,craigslist to flash it for you, you need a donor phone, the 2 ones i was told about were samsung rant and sanyo incognito, you get your service activated onto a donor phone and the person flashes it.

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

Couldnt you just reflash with ruu to put it back to sprint stock? And maybe flash in the radios?

Hello everyone.
I have a Sprint EVO 4G and it has S-OFF so I flashed it to 2.2 and used Rom Manager to put the stock 2.3.3 rooted deodexed onto it then went to Metro PCS and had them flash it over which they did for $10 then the guy could not get into the NAM setting to put my new phone number ect into the phone. He said usualy all they have to do is 000000 to get into the settings he called the metro techs and they said to reflash it which he did anyway by the end of this he asked me if I knew how to get into the settings which is what brings me here. He refunded my activation and kept the $10 for the flash. I kinow if anyoine can help me it's you guys. Thanks
Adam
OH YEA & P.S. to save another thread should anyone have the answer to this and I get this working on Metro (calls and texts only) can you either direct me to a thread to get the internet 3g and MMS working or give me the steps. Thanks again

I had this happen to me the first time I tried to "Metroflash" my Evo. I went to three different stores thinking it was the operator, not knowing that when I flashed and rooted the evo, metro pcs could not set it up on their Houdini system. I went bare bones via hard reset (stock rom) and voila, metro got it on their system.
I followed this guide by Bloodykiller after it was rooted. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795182
Again, this is what worked for me. Hope this helps.
I have a simple question and i think ive seen some mention of it, but nothing quite definitive
I want to root my SGSIIX from Telus(989D), and ive figured out that i can follow the same instructions as the T-mobile version here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332103
It suggests a ROM below that was originally posted for the T-mobile ver, is there any T-mobile branding on it visually such as boot screens etc?
Also...
If a ROM works flawlessly on the tmobile version, will it also work flawlessly on the telus version by default. Ive been eyeballing the possibility of Cyanogen or MIUI, and juggernaut...but i wanna make sure EVERYTHING works perfectly after doing so, or if there are certain things that might not work
Thanks! (sorry im rather new to android modding so im trying to learn)
And yes i searched around, but have only seen a few ppl post in threads saying 'it should work', then some say theyve had problems..so thought id make a post!
i have the same questions then you the tutorials i found are for the t-mobile rom
not the telus one but reading other post they are the same rom
but i dont whant to take the risk lol

i uninstalled most apps with titanium backup pro but i end restoring to the back up i made from CWR
gonna give it another try when they are going to release a rom that is from telus version of the phone
i hope it helps you
The 4g is broken for me to ...it seems like the modders are only interested in the t-mobile version to, so it looks like even rooting(based on the fact that the rooted rom is also a t-mob) wont even be possible

What do you mean rooting? All you need to do is flash CWM and then the SU package, no need to change any ROM at all.
I rooted my Telus device using the T-Mobile instructions and all was well at home, it stayed on the Telus network and also keep 4G speed.
I went to work with it, where Telus service is very poor, and as soon as I lost Telus it roamed to Rogers and did not try and return to Telus even though I was in an area where Telus signal was good.
In the end I changed the device to wcdma mode only and set the device to manual provider and selected Telus and have had no problems with 4G or not being on Telus...

Do you happen to have a link? I followed a guide on this forum that said the easiest way was to flash the rom!
I rooted my phone, it still said 4G.
When I installed beastMOD it says 3G. But I am definitely getting 4G speeds (20mbps). So.. maybe a bug with the difference in phones?
ughhh
trust me...stick with the telus rom. its actually better code then tmob. newer drivers and less debug code. I tried the tmob and its gawd aweful. if u want goodies...slap a kernel on it then theme it. best way to go imho.
Later

haha, i only know how to follow step by step's for this stuff
i can only hope ppl switch over to the telus code i guess

For Telus you don't need to change roms when you root.
I'm running the stock rom on my phone with a modified kernel to allow the phone to run faster and the v6 memory mod as well as removing the clock from notification bar.
Installed Titanium and removed a bunch of the crap that came stock with phone too.

Get the recovery.tar from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315390
Flash that through ODIN (PDA mode in ODIN, Download mode on Phone)
Then, place the SU update (http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip) on the root of the SD card. Reboot to recovery, select install zip from SD Card and select the SU update. Reboot and you're rooted without having to use another ROM.
The reason why you keep getting a 3G signal when you are getting 4G speeds is because you are using a T-Mobile ROM. The way the Telus one works, if you don't have a ROM that is based off of Telus's source code, even though everything works perfectly fine, your signal will be "3G". It's really only an aesthetic thing, as the speeds themselves are 4G.
So what kernel do you recomend.
and is it the telus kernel with sudo rights ????

Not sure for kernel, I just used the stock one. I just finished flashing Synergy, haven't tried anything yet! I seem to have this issue where I need to re-search for my network after going into download mode (normal behavior?) so I need to get that working before I want to benchmark.
I fully tested a custom juggernaut rom and a rooted Telus stock rom and the juggernaut rom is waaayyy better. Smoother more options as well as better signal. True it says 3g but actually I get better speeds than stcok Telus rom. In my opinion after several tests don't use stock Telus. It may be better code than T-Mobile stock rom but custom juggernaut rom is way better

Thanks guys!
Ive got it rooted with the lightning blue theme going, and froze a bunch of apps with Titanium that i hate seeing running in the background.
one last question though(i think)
I once had a Fascinate, when i flashed a voodoo mod kernel and tried to remove it, the phone became bricked and the entire insides of the phone had to be replaced
Can flashing a kernel mess with the boot loader(which i assume is cwm)? Is there anything i need to do differently when changing kernels as well, cause so far with ROMS ive just been resetting and flashing with ease.Also do Roms come with kernels, so flashing a rom will either go back to default/other kernels?
I have a MTS 3g running CM 7.10. I have loved this phone except for the camera. I have the fuzziness that everyone else seems to have. I get to upgrade in April and I have 2 questions:
1. Before I upgrade I want to get a replacement phone for this one because of the camera. They keep telling me there is an app, which I can't find on the Market they need me to download. Will that app let them know I'm rooted and running CM7, if so, I need to flash the original ROM. Any tricks to that thru Rom Manager, do I just put the stock rom in the update folder and let 'er go like when I boot into CM update recovery? I've got the most recent radio. If this is posted somewhere I missed it.
2. When I upgrade in April, I've been considering a MTS 4g or a HTC Slide which TMO told me was replacing MTS with them. Suggestions? I saw one post where someone would never get another slide keyboard phone, that hasn't been a problem for me, but what kind of new phones are others who have had MTS 3g been looking at, upgraded to and love? Thanks for the help and suggestions!

Are you on a stock ROM. Custom roms can cause problems when trying to change numbers ect. So flash a stock rooted rom and see if the problem occurs again

so i tried to find one but still didn't work do u know of a good completely stock rom w root i think the correct problem im having is the epst codes correct me if im wrong
The codes, if I recall correctly, only work on Sense based ROMs. Custom ROMs CAN cause issues but for the most part they SHOULD work fine. If you are having problems on a sense based ROM then you can flash the latest stock rooted ROM and you should be good to go. If worse comes to worse you can RUU back to stock and then run the code. I am pretty sure that your grandfather isn't going to care if the phone is rooted or not.
