I know some of the Sprint phones can be unlocked to use on other CDMA carriers and was wondering if anyone knew if its possible to do it on the Epic Touch? If it is can someone point me in the right direction because I am not having much luck searching and finding anything useful.

I have a tmobile touch pro 2 and im switching to Sprint next month bc of my dads job and I was wondering if it was possible to flash the tmobile phone in order to use it for sprint? Im sorry i know this isnt the place to put this but if anyone can answer or send me in the right direction I would really appreciate it!
Impossible
This is not possible because sprint uses the CMDA network. The touch pro 2 is GSM and that can't be changed.
Hello,
I recently bought an HTC EVO 4G and i am not very knowledgeable with CDMA networks. I did some searching around on these forums to try to find out what exactly I need to do to get my EVO up and running on another CDMA network providing the network accepts my phone. Can anyone help me? I can do a bit of research so you dont have to get into extreme detail. Is it as easy as flashing my radio?
THanks.
I cant have stomped everyone here. =|

Can anyone tell me if there is any difference between the Epic 4G Touch and the US Cellular version of our phone.
I'm trying to introduce a friend to rooting and I can't find any forums for US Cellular models.
I do not want to steer him to the wrong info.

Wrong forum this is the OG with hardware keyboard. You need the Epic touch section.

Wrong Forum, bro. This is for the OG Epic with a keyboard.
Here is a root guide. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/19979-us-cellular-galaxy-s-ii-root/

Thanks.
I've been doing some reserach and thinking that in the future when my phone breaks I'd like to get take a gamble and try one of those Chinese phones. I'd like to keep my Verizon's unlimited data plan with the 4G LTE. I was refered to this site and told to ask here about ROMs and Kernals to conver the phone's 4G frequency to 700mhz to match Verizons. I have yet to find many chinese phones that run on 4G and have found none that run on the 700mhz frequency. So my next plan is to reprogram the phone to run on the Verizon frequency.
Now I have the Droid Razr with 4G. It has a SIM but I was reading that the GSM was disabled so the phone just runs on the CDMA network. Correct me if it's wrong, but that's my understanding for the time being. Anyway I'm looking to reprogram a Chinese phone to someday replace my Droid Razr. If anyone can point me in the right direction of ROMs of kernals that would be fantastic, even some direction on the right devics would be fine too.
Thank you for your time.
Does anyone have any input on this? Is it even possible?
i dont think is possible because frequencies are hardware based
I was told I just needed a new kernal and ROM. I understand that the hardware is designed to run on a few different frequencies and that it just needed to be reprogramed. Can anyone confirm this?

I'm looking to do the same. I'm not due for an upgrade until next year and my Galaxy Nexus flash memory is failing. I only need something to carry me over until my renewal, and I'm not going to buy an S4 or something for $600 until then... a ~$200 knock-off with decent hardware would be fun to play with, easy to carry and can be handed down to a kid on a prepaid network later (or used simply as a wifi/media/GPS device). Only problem is that it's hard to tell what is supported and what is not.
Any insight from those more experienced would be appreciated.
I've been looking around all over the internet today, hours wasted on stupid sites and old stuff that doesn't exist anymore. So I'm just going to start a thread asking, Is there anyway to unlock the Samsung Epic 4G from Sprint? I was looking to use the phone with the carrier chitchatmobile.com, they have the Samsung Epic 4G from Sprint on their list of phones that work. But right now the phone is locked, does anyone know of a way to unlock it? Thanks.

To clarify, unlocking a Sprint phone currently only unlocks any GSM capability for international use. Current Sprint phones can't be unlocked for domestic CDMA/GSM use on a competing carrier (Verizon/AT&T/T-Mobile/US Cellular). Activation on a Sprint MVNO is another issue (see below). "Sprint is working to ensure that all devices developed and launched on or after February 11, 2015, are capable of being unlocked domestically."
Most any Sprint phone that has been out for at least a year should be able to be activated with most all Sprint MVNOs. There is no unlocking required. So you should be able to activate your SPH-D700 if that MVNO allows it. Which I would be surprised if they don't. You might have to call them.
I have my phone activated on Ting and love the service. PM if you'd like $25 Ting referral credit.
