[Q] semi-broken epic, clone to bad esn epic? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I bought a bad esn epic and a boost phone and successfully cloned the boost phone to the bad esn epic. So I have two epics right now (one for each ear?). As you can see in my other completely unanswered post I was debating whether or not to sell the new one.
I've decided to stay with sprint for a bit longer but I want to keep the replacement phone they sent me in the box. Unopened that is!
My original epic has a busted battery connector which I have bent a bit so it will stay on as long as I don't jar it, so I can read data off of it with CDMA workshop etc. The busted battery thingy is why Sprint replaced it for some cash of course.
So I want to clone my epic over to the bad esn epic. I can't figure out what I'm missing, I cant get the 3g to work (I haven't even tried the 4g). I'm sorta following the epic to boost instructions but I must be missing something.
Is this just copying the thing over in CDMA workshop?
Help please?? Pretty please? With sprinkles on top?
(I have to beg 'cause no one answered my other q )
super-grassy-ass in advance. I hope..............

Can't talk about that in here. It's against the forum rules.

dude it's my sprint account to my sprint account and my epic to my epic. Just like my epic to my boost account from my boost phone.

Doesn't matter, it's still about cloning an esn.

Hey, if you are an admin, then just close the thread.
If you are not an admin, why are you offering responses that don't have anything to do with my question?
If you're correct the proper people will handle it. In the meantime perhaps you could troll another thread.

There are threads about flashing your phone to a different carrier, that's allowed. Cloning esn's just isn't. I think there was a thread in q&a within the past week or so.

Another useful response, eh? I did do a search, but of course it's possible I missed the thread you're talking about.Thanks for adding posts to the thread though, that should generate some help for me. Or for you

And your telling me that would help how, exactly? You may not be trying but I think you are succeeding. Do you police your neighborhood and make citizen's arrests as well? You may be right but wtf?

You're right, you win. I'll leave your thread now.

Why would you post this instead of just going away? Are you one of those thread trolls that also needs the last word?? I'm having trouble figuring out any of your motivations here except verbosity.
And while I stand by my comments, I apparently got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning. :-(

Actually, the way I see it by both my thread count, and thanks count, I clearly present some value to the Epic forum. You on the other hand, decide you want to flame back at someone when they are just nicely informing you of the forum rules, like a good member of the forum would. There was nothing mean or trollish about my first post in this thread.
Wow, I see you changed your OP. Guess something I said must have been right.

No esn cloning. Please, instead of fighting with one of our arguably best themers, ask somewhere else. A quick google search pulls up the info you want. You obviously have not exhausted all your resources before asking here.

Here's a useful response.
We don't allow discussion of esn closing.

[Q] n00b here (g2 and mt4g)

Can anyone post the link to where I can get the my touch 4g rom.
i had it previously on here when I bought the phone and I HATE the g2 rom.
my touch is so much more advancesd and personalized.
I guess you mean this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799903
1. Don't write "noob" in your title. People will ignore it. Write something useful instead to describe your issue.
2. This is the Hero forum and NOT the G2 forum. The phone your thinking about is called T-mobile G2 and the one this forum is about is G2 Touch/HTC Hero.
3. Post in the correct section. This is 99% NOT development related and should be in general...
4. Use the search function and Google before posting. I'm sure you can find this without having to bother other people.

I apologise
1. This is not development and should not be posted in a development section.
2. This is the wrong device area. This thread will find its way to the right place shortly, but will remain locked, given the fact the arguing will likely continue.
3. Nobody was rude. You were told this isn't the right place to find people that can help, and pointed to the correct forum.
4. This kind of thing is something you could work out by reading a few posts. You cannot run another device's ROM straight away on another device. You would likely need to port it.

Downloading Apk files ?

My friend has been downloading files from 4shared is that illegal to do ? So he is pretty much getting free paid apps lol
xXHELLBoy91Xx
you are not allowed to post any free paid app information in this forum. I think even asking that kind of question is not accepted.
Exactly. This is a disallowed topic, really.
And yes, what he's doing is illegal, and frowned upon by most people here.
And not to mention risky. Great way to get your info stolen, get push msgs spam, generally f*ck your phone up.

Exactly him doing that isnt right at all smh i rather pay for apps then to download apk files and risk myself smh he is an idiot

How dare you ask any question in regards to what is and is not legal.
Seriously, when did questions become heresy?

It became "heresy" when it was made a rule to not discuss, link to, or suggest where someone might aquire, pirated applications.
Don't get yer panties in a bunch over it. The OP didn't.

He's not asking where he can do it, he's asking if it's illegal. A simple yes and a link to the specific rule set would be helpful instead of treating piracy as a taboo subject.
This isn't China or N. Korea; so I'm assuming, yes I know what happens when one assumes, that we can still have civil discourse over legal matters.

Interesting that you bring that particular point up, as I do believe it was your interjection of sarcasm that took this to an uncivil place.
Up until that point we had just been pointing out that the subject was inappropriate for XDA, in general, and had in no way been rude about it. And in fact the OP had agreed with us re: the choice to use pirated apps, and took the conversation is stride.
And then comes you. Huh.
And since you can't be bothered to follow your own "constructive criticism":
Rule # 6 states:
6. Do not post warez.If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, either pay or find your cracks and serials somewhere else. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained.

Sprint Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys, just opened my new Sprint Samsung Galaxy Nexus and got it activated. Any word on any roms that are going to be baked up for the Sprint version? I see there is not an appropriate section yet. I know this is somewhat of a question, but I think other might be looking for this post when they open their phone today too. Thanks!
ditto
You Sprint folks need to learn where to post. Sprint is CDMA...but questions, etc. need to be posted in the appropriate forum.

Actually this forum is specifically for Verizon CDMA. I'm sure a new forum will be started specifically for Sprint.
Doubt it. They are too similar. There is no reason to split the forum for Sprint.
I say a special forum for sprint would keep things less cluttered and less confusing I don't see any harm in it ...
Just a thought ..

unless everything that works for verizon will work on sprint, it defiantly needs a new section

Well in the general sprint galaxy nexus thread looks like everything works except phone service LOL
So a new forum would be nice, but i guess they could just fix a minor something in these roms and put up a sprint version.
I just think it would be less cluttered and crowded if we each had our own section, to discuss whatever..
And how is this Development?.

New Forum Moderators

Hi all! Your Friendly Neighborhood Moderator here. I have the great honor of being assigned to your forum and this awesome new device. Feel free to PM me or any of the other moderators that will pop in here to say hi also. We will try to address all issues, concerns and reported posts.
The most important thing is to have fun and try to help others.
My grandmother once said if you don't have something nice to say to someone then don't say anything at all.......then she never talked to me again...lol.
As a note I have already put in a request to try and seperate out the Sprint development to avoid crippling phones. Until then please all be careful what you are flashing.

Thanks. yeah we are told when applying that you don't need knowledge of the device you are assigned to, just knowledge of forum rules. We are assigned 5 device forums with other mods. A lot of people I know are getting the Sprint Galaxy Nexus. I am stuck until July and will see what phone looks best then. It looks like there is an excellent group of mods here already so will do my best to just help out as your friendly neighborhood moderator.
Congrats and welcome!

I had Sprint (Epic) but couldn't take the POS service. Broke the contract and went to VZW and have been extremely happy with the phone and company.

I haven't ranted in a while but this time it's due..
I really don't get you.. You start threads all over so there is no excuse for you not knowing that Questions go in Q&A. You must know the rules (at least somewhat) because you harped on Garwynn and I for going off topic.
It's people like you that tick me off. And I hope you don't come back with a reply like "I'm just a kid" since we have 13 year olds here who are developers.
You have started threads and people tell you to use the search function and you would have found your answer. Hell, you don't even look outside of the E4GT Section.. Just like your question on deodexing.
You've asked for help, I tried to advise on other issues and you completely ignore what I or any other very helpful replies you've had.
So to answer your question, here's the last spoon I give you. Congratulations, you've made the second person I've used the ignore button on.
Figure it out from here..
i searched the topic and cant find it. btw i meant to post in the Q&A. sorry about that. also im sorry about not listening to your advice on the GC01 thread. there was just no other way to explain it. and i would like a mod to please move this thread to Q&A.
Thread moved
Yes it can be done. It will require some foot work and very heavy reading on your end.
All the info you need to do it can be found (directly or indirectly) in this thread.
