I bought an EVO from ebay which was rooted and apparently switched to another carrier. I couldn't find a good answer on how or if I can switch back to sprint, so I figured i'd ask here. If anyone could help me out I'd appreciate it.

hello all..
i searched as much as i could around the forums and google before positing this question.
i want to change providers. from verizon to whatever possible (tmobile or straight talk even) because verizon says i owe them $700. i havent had verizon service since then (6+ months) because i refuse to pay that. I am just using hotspots and im VERY tired of trying to find a mcdonalds or free wifi.
so im wondering if i can switch providers with a CDMA? Everywhere i looked (google) it says its not possible with CDMA only GSM.
Please help me! I apologize if i didnt find the original post similar to mine...
thanks
You're correct. You can NOT use your CDMA Nexus other than Verizon. In other words, you have to find new phone in order to use on different carrier.
Your phone will only work on verizons network. You will need a new phone one way or another.

hey guys... thanks for your help i appreciate it.
since i cant use this phone (verizon wants $1100) is there a good trustworthy place online to sell this phone?
BuyMyTronics(DOTCOM) says they would give me a little over 100 for this phone. im desperate but not desperate enough to put my personal name and address in their form without the website being https:// or ssl...
are there any LEGIT companies out there that i can trust?
haha, good luck with that. Past due bill with verizon means your phone is blacklisted. Basically you'll be selling a pretty much useless (Bad ESN/IMEI) phone that nobody else can use either.

you now have a bad esn phone, so it will be tough to sell.
also, your credit will take a hit and you will go to collections... but thats a story for another day.
I have searched everywhere, and there is not one place that shows how to switch back to sprint from straight talk. I bought this phone on ebay and the guy said it would activate on sprint no problem and i got it as a present for my dad. I need help returning it to sprint, there are many threads about how to do it from cricket or metro pcs, but nobody ever states from straight talk.
Can somebody help me please!!!

Have you tried either of those methods to see if they work?

I really messed up this time. I brought a brand new Samsung Galaxy S3 on metropcs carrier from Craigslist. Seller told me that it was sealed and new. I had all iphones before,don't know anything about android and don't know how to test this new phone, when i saw the phone, it was not sealed, it already open by someone, but the phone is new, so I paid $, got the phone. after, I went to metropcs corporate store to active my new phone, the metro guy told me. the phone I'm having right now is reported lost. I got fraud. I'm so sad right now, worked two weeks just for buying this phone, now my money is gone(seller dispeared), I got a phone that I can't even use. I already asked all unlock service, they all tell me they can't unlock the phone, I don't want to sell it to anyone to make them sad, I'm wondering if there is anyway that someone can help me to put the phone back to service(make a call or text).I don't know if root can help or not, I don't know how save this phone, if it can't be used, I will use it as ipod touch,mp3 player. here is all the information that I know to provide, if you guys need to know more, I'll stay here and answer. Thank you for reading it.

does this mean no one can help me here?
Phone is reported lost so the ESN is bad now. That means the phone cannot be activated on Metro PCS anymore. But what you could do is put it on another prepaid carrier like boost mobile if you really want to use it.

Or u could flash a new esn over from an old metro phone. Go on craigslist look for someone who flashes sprint phones to metro. Explain your problem. U might not get 4g but it should work..
I know how to flash my ls-970 to Cricket. What I don't know how to do is then activate it with Cricket.
I called Cricket and they said it was impossible to activate a cellphone that does not have a simcard in it. I do understand that their tech support may not be the brightest people and I see on this forum that other ls-970 owners have flashed to Cricket, but nobody explains how they activated the phone after.
Please help me if you have done this. I don;t want to flash it and then find out I can not activate it.
Thanks in advance. My Sprint contract is up and I would like to NOT have to pay another month with them,
did you get this sorted yet? I'd like to flash my phone to another network also but I can't find anything.
A friend picked up an Sprint S8+ but he's on T-Mobile so I flashed TMO f/W on it for him, however am having a bit of trouble getting the network unlock done.... Should I be trying to unlock it as a Sprint S8+ or as a T-Mobile S8+? And more to the point, I'm obviously trying to do it free if possible.
*If I overlooked the answer in another post somewhere, I apologize...I just couldn't seem to find this exact scenario/answer in any of the threads about swapping firmwares.
I'd appreciate any help you guys can give.
Thanks in advance!
Wrong area, but if you flash it back to Sprint, I can unlock it for you if you send it to me. PM me for more info, I have a store in the Bay Area where I would do it, if you're in the area you can just drop by.
