Confused if you know there are people that have done why not just ask them directly... Send them a PM

to get wimax/4g working you need an active sprint 4g account then you need to backup the working 4g's wimax partition then copy the mac address from the working 4g phone and put both unto to nonworking 4g phone.
for my understanding not sure but if can test; i hear that you can succesfully use both 4g devices at same time

After spending the evening trying to figure this out I got it down.
It works, but only one device can be on wimax at a time. I tried this yesterday with a EVO on Sprint and an EVO on Cricket. Flashed the wimax.img from the Sprint EVo to the Cricket EVO and 4G worked. Maybe changing the MAC address on a phone would allow two devices to use 4G at the same time?
I'm no expert, but the wimax.img created from a Nandroid has the MAC address in it. If you could figure out how to HEX edit the MAC address from the wimax.img file, I'm pretty sure you can change a wimax MAC address.

im not sure what version number it is. I had the phone done for me. I do know that it was rooted using "unrevoked" ?? Sorry, Im a noob :/
if your stock and not using tether or hotspot when it's happening but happening all the time call sprint
if it only happens when you try and tether then you need to flash a fix
its happening always.. and its for Boost.
I heard I need to put in my Shared AAA Secret & HA Shared Secret passwords?? Idk how to do that. Would someone be willing to help.?
Turn off the phone take out the battery for 30 seconds. And if that doesnt work call sprint u had that problem so many times i know already that happens when you activate the phone.
The phone is connected to Boost not Sprint so i need to get the data working only talk and text work right now.

If you dont get good sprint service chances are you will get even worse service with boost. Boost mobile is a sprint company and runs off sprint towers and has no roaming.

hey there i need help flashing my samgsung galaxy to boost i followed the video and the post but when i get to the drivers for the samsung it wont install i have a sph-d710 and the download is for a sph-d700 and i tryed to get the drivers for mines but it wont show up in my ports but everything else is all right
Hoping I can get some help! I have a Sprint S2 on Boost for my pop. had someone flash it for me. worked perfectly. now i have no data. I am 99% sure I know what is wrong but don't know the KEYS to fix it.
OK from the top. everything worked. but a few hours later voicemail went poof. dial into vmail says invalid number. Grrr nothing I do seems to make it reset then I remember that changing ESN resets voice mail.
SO I activate a boost android phone. it activates fine but no data. it did not "activate" right (boosts end I assume) anyway the automated support provides instructions if you get no data as a last resort kind of thing if you tried everything else.
it has me punch in a ##xxxxxx# string and the phone reboots and intiates activation and data comes on! yeah.
Voicemail is now working again as well.
OK so I swap ESN back to the flashed S2
voicemail properly resets. its working now. calls and text are working but no data now.
I think I know what I need to do. I need to do some similar ##xxxxxx# thing (no its not ##MSL# tried that already) to get it to reset the data connection like I did on the other phone.
BUT .... HOW do I do it? what is the ## code I need to do this on the S2? I can't use automated help since that system "THINKS" I have a different phone so the instructions are wrong (sanyo 3810)
so what I need is the ## code or whatever the procedure is to force the phone to reset its data connection and get 3G back.

If you want 4g on this phone you need to subscribe to a wimax service and a change the wimax realm and wimax Mac address to match that of the modem you have activated on that wimax service.

All I did was get a 4g mac address from a friends Epic Touch on Sprint and kept the realm to sprintpcs.com since it is a sprint mac address and I was good to go.
Could I use my Mac address from my clear 4g modem I have at my house? I never connect to the wifi so maybe?

If you have a mac from a different carrier then sprint, make sure you use the proper realm for that mac

I thought you were alright,
Ok did you follow the dir from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447615
This is how I did it, I d/l the derp.zip, then unziped it, took the CT file and replaced the CT in the system/apps made sure the permission were the same as the one that got replaced. I have root explorer so it was easy to copy/paste and set permissions.
Reboot phone
Then I dialed ##DEBUG# or ##33284# entered my msl, went down to ( WIMAX CT ), tapped ( Open Device ) waited a few for the info to load. After that I entered my mac using the format xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx hit (set). Then backed out all the way to the home screen.
Reboot Phone
If your Realm is not the same from the carriers mac then of course you need to change it.
dial ##3282# tap (view)/(WiMAX) enter MSL, tap (REALM) if you dont have the 4g radio on then Realm will be blank, if you turn it on just back one screen and reenter the (REALM) and it will be there. If you need to edit tap the menu on the phone and a window at the bottom will pop up (WRITE Rlm) enter the info save back all the way out.
Reboot Phone
Again these are the steps I did other might have a different way.
Good Luck, It took me awhile to understand the process also, so don't give up hope.

[Q] Anybody have working Wimax around Seattle?

I have flashed numerous ROMs and none have had working Wimax. I am in Everett/ Lynnwood and can't get wimax to even to last long enough to measure. I have tried a number of modems as well. EL 29, FF18, FG20 and even the newest one which was available thru the goodness updater. By the way has anyone figured out how to measure Wimax? I used to have the Evo 4g and got a great signal and the Evo would tell you if you had good or poor signal, however I have not found anything to measure 4g speed on my E4GT and without 4G I can't do the adjustments suggested in another post.

Thanks for the heads up on that, right now I am going through the different modems to see if one of them will work. Is it possible this E4GT is a dud? Although my daughter is still on stock EL29 and she has bad Wimax as well.
I did notice that if I kept toggling the 4g and ran a speed test that I sometimes got better results - so far I am at FC14 and sometimes I get 2+ mb down with a ping under a hundred. My area of Seattle sucks, as I just tried Clearwire and am sending it back as well. Does anyone know of a good app that will measure the wimax, the one one the E4Gt doesn't work very well compared to what HTC has. Well I have been working on this for quite a while so time to crash
If you go to settings than go to 4g it shows you your connection in bars like back on gingerbread. If you want to get a more accurate reading than ##DEBUG# is your best option. It gives you your connection status in dbm. Lock code is 777468 not your msl. You'll find it in Wimax DM.

In that same menu screen go to Wimax CT and click open device. After that scroll all the way down and click on both the load default and odb load default. This resets 4g back to default sprint values. Try that and then try turning on 4g and see if it works. Lil hint clicking on Wimax IP in that same screen will automatically start up 4g

Thanks to everyone who had advice for me. Took it to the store and they gave me a new refurb with working 4G, ain't Sprint the greatest, the tech told me that things burn up on the boards all the time, that I probably got the battery to hot or that the 4g part of the board just died for no particular reason (last billing cycle I did 4Gb of Wimax and 3+ Gb of 3g - that is why I stay with Sprint lol, no throttling and no warning call or text)

i have old droid x from verizon but its not activated my nephew use it to play games on it will that help ?
hey @brooksyx is there a guide hat you can post on how to flash to pageplus ?
yeah what I would suggest doing is activating the droid x phone to page plus and pulling all the number and then zeroing out the numbers on the droid x. However I don't if this can be done on a motorola phone because they have real tight security. Samsung and LG phones have been the easiest to get access to the needed numbers. So I would check before you activate the droid x.
I would recommend buying something like this and using it:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-ALLY-Ver...ell_Phones&hash=item3f1b7c8950#ht_3634wt_1163
I can provide you with the correct software to unlock it to read the numbers.
As for a guide it will be somewhat similar to this:
