Hey, I'm thinking about getting a Droid Incredible. I know it's gonna be a lot of work but how should I go about unlocking it to work on sprint. That's assuming sprint will accept the phone and let me activate it..
I've heard of it being used on Cricket, never Sprint. Not sure man, good luck though.
thanks, I'm probably going to need it. Better start looking into cricket lol
Or metro pcs, the only way to get sprint to work is if you have someone on the inside that can activate phones

hmm. Too bad I'm too young to work for them, maybe I can go there on an internship and make some friends
Can you just change the esn to a sprint esn? And then change 68992737495 settings and yay?

So I saw a lot of posts on my old forum about people getting bad esns and having to buy another phone. But what I never understood is HOW they got a bad esn. So if somebody could be nice and explain to me how somebody gets a bad esn I would greatly appreciate it!

The phone is either stolen and reported as such or the person discontinued paying their bill.

Yep. All of that fun jazz.
And a bad ESN doesn't make the phone useless. Just not usable on Sprint anymore. Boost, Virgin, Cricket, etc. S'all good.
Also lost phones are usually locked out as well to prevent insurance claims to just get a second phone.

Boost is Sprint are the same, so I would be careful with a bad esn.

Would much rather keep my E4GT than get a Galaxy Nexus. Can I use it on VZ?
No you can not. Verizon does not allow sprint phones on their network.

Thanks. Google wasn't doing much for me this morning.
Hold on,old epic could be flashed to verizon I dont see why you cant flash epic touch.
They are both cdma phones and will work on verizon minus 4g.

If you have friends in high places they can get esn added but doesn't happen often..... Otherwise it's illegal options with changing esn from one phone to another ..... In my opinion it's not worth it sell e4gt buy another phone so much easier

Changing ESN is illegal?
What about cloning esn from a donor phone to flash epic to virgin mobile,boost and cricket.
You trying to.say that those methods in them threads are not legal?

Technically yea they are not legal if you are doing It and paying for service not so bad but yea they frown upon it because it can be done to steal service
Cricket does not involve changing Esn ....boost and virgin and others do because you can't use phones that they don't sell and are usually low range Android....you can't call up virgin and have them activate a topic touch but you can go to cricket and they will flash it

My brother in law has let me hold his droid incredible 2 for the past 2 weeks so I could root it and what not. Well he didnt tell me or ask me if it would work but he reported this phone lost or stolen and got a brand new one so he could give me this one. So the esn us bad. I was wondering if there is a way to manually flash this to pageplus? I know it can be done through cricket but there coverage is really spotty in my area. If I was to go with cricket, would there be a way to use a Verizon prl?

whether or not it was of your doing, discussing or advocating in any way fraud is not acceptable
there are guides for flashing to other carriers, but imo its a now stolen device and shouldnt be used for anything
We won't allow any discussion of fraud or ways to circumvent it.
can we just go in and have the phone activated as normal and get the 4g. if avalible in the area. im in mia so i know we have wimax here.
cause i would love 4g again.

Maybe over the phone, if you don't mention it not being a "Boost branded" device, and just give them the ESN. I've heard of this working with Sprint Blackberrys on Boost Mobile.
Do let us know if it works!

Ha I highly doubt it. You have a sprint phone. The boost version of this phone is a boost phone. Your esn will register as different on the network. Not saying its impossible but I highly doubt it.
