Can the EVO work on BOOSTBOMILE????

Hello guys, I was watching a video on YouTube about flashing the EVO 2 BOOST MOBILE , but they didn't say how, so is there a way or a program to do that and is it legal or illegal?

I'm just guessing but I doubt it. Boost mobile phones use a SIM card. And when you register your phone with their network it asks for the SIM card number.

In short no. Unfortunately the only way to get an evo on boost is by doing a esn clone which is a felony and even talkmg about it here will get you banned. Your best bet is metropcs or cricket. I have my evo on metropcs and i couldnt be happier. But keep in mind with either metro or cricket there will be no 4g or 3g only 1xrtt which is abot 80-120kb/s.
I know its not the answer your looking for but i hope it was helpful.
Also sprint and boost are borh cdma, and sprint owns boost, so no boost does not use a sim card.

But the new ones don't came wit a sim card , bc my SIS have one cell on boost wit out a don card

Boost uses both, sim card network (old Nextel band) and cdma (regular sprint band)...all depends on which phone you have. And yes, you can program an Evo to work on boost. But, it is not officially allowed and an esn clone is necessary. Not to mention the programming is complicated and is not something the average phone user should attempt. Hope this answers your question.

Sorry I misspoke, I should have specified that it is capable of 3g, if your in a 3g market, (which sadly im not)....Unless Daytona Beach is 3g and I just did something wrong...? any hope on that one...
But, I do know that 4g is not possible due to the fact that the EVO uses WiMax and MetroPCS is LTE.

Us cellular to boost or sprint?

I have a female desire on us cellular. I have s-off and rooted running cyanogen 7.1. I was wondering if what I did allows me to us my phone with other carriers. Thanks for all help.
Sent from my HTC Desire CDMA using XDA App

CDMA not female. sorry auto correct.
Sent from my HTC Desire CDMA using XDA App

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you can't. Cdma desire is the short straw of the lot. You also can't use any of the nice new sense 2.0+ rom with it. But there's someone out there working on it in another post. I hope he still is anyway
Sent from my HTC Desire CDMA using XDA App

thanks a million. Blugrass pissed me off so i just stoped paying. But i love my phone and would like to keep using it. I wonder if i could use it on sprint. The only thing is that us cellular runs off verizion and so does sprint. I know they block your esn but i'm not sure if it's for us cellular or just for who i'm using.

You could probably use it on boost, but sprint won't activate it.

Possible to flash/use SPH-D710 on Virgin Mobile instead of Sprint?

Hello, I have Sprints version of the Galaxy s2 and would like to totally switch plans/service to Virgin Mobile...I have seen online elsewhere that this is possible but no direct directions on how? I would prefer Virgin but Metro PCS or Cricket would also do if they would function properly with the phone. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

There have been quite a few threads around here regarding flashing over to metro, but I haven't seen anything about virgin. Do a search for metro flashing and like I said youll find a few different threads.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA Premium App

Its only possible by rewritting esn as virgin is owned by sprint and each virgin esn is scanned in their system
Sent from a White Galaxy

i tried running search on flashing metro but the only useful info i got was for using another phone model...anywhere i can find model specific flashing info for the SPH-D710? the only experience i have with flashing is taking my old galaxy from froyo to gingerbread using odin...guessing i would need an actual guide if one exists? thanks for your help!

Look up a program call qxdm I believe or cdma workshop u have to rewrite nam and prl if u wanna go to metro then connect phone and dial ##8778# or #8778# and switch phone option to modem need any help shoot me a pm
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

You sure can. I have the exact same phone on Platinumtel prwpaid which also runs on the Sprint network. Just rewrite the ESN as stated above...

I have a quick question: is it possible to flash BACK to sprint after flashing to virgin mobile? This is with an epic 4g touch that had a clean esn.

Yes, it should just be a matter of reversing the process you used to flash/pgm your device to VM... Assuming you did retain all of the relevant data from your original setup...

Does anyone know if you need to flash the virgin mobile version of android 4.1.2 onto a sprint epic 4g touch in order to use Virgin mobile or can you just use any of the sprint roms and just swap the info out from a virgin donor phone.
thanks

Gentlemen, I would caution you on discussing the changing of ESNs here in XDA. As I'm sure you know, flashing this way is now illegal and talking about piracy and the like in the threads is frowned upon by the mods. Just trying to help. Good luck!

metro pcs and inc

Is there anything you can do to make my inc work on metro pcs network?
I just gave my friend my old inc because i have no use for it after i upgraded to rezound, and he doesn't want to get verizon because of the contract. He went to metro pcs and asked if he can joing their network with my inc, and they told him that he has to go somewhere and flash something on the phone for $80, and then they can do it.
and so i came here to ask around, maybe i can do it myself somehow

Well you need a donor phone already activated on metro. You then need to use a pc program called qpst to change the esn and other network settings of the inc, to the esn and network settings of the donor phone. You then need to flash a metro prl to the inc. This is just to give you a general idea of what needs to be done and what you will need. When i find the actual guide i will post it here for you.
EDIT: I cant find the thread on xda, but from looking around google it seems all you need to do is flash a metro prl. This will allow metro to connect to and program the inc with the correct network settings. You still need the qpst program to change the prl, and you also need to find a metro prl. I want to flash my inc to straight talk so i am going to be doing some serious googling on the subject.

[Q] Need Some Help....

I have an HTC EVO 4G from Sprint, I recently did the HTCDev unlock on the bootloader, but what I'm trying to accomplish is unlocking/rooting the phone to be used on another carrier other than Sprint, but all the info I've gathered I can determine that my phone's bootloader is unlocked, but can't find any info on whether or not doing so also unlocked it so I can use the EVO on another CDMA carrier or if there are additional steps needed to make that possible as well?!?! Just need some helpful advice whether I've truly already achieved what I'm wanting to do or point me in the right direction to finish the process so I can take my phone to another carrier other than Sprint. Thanks for any help

What carrier are you trying to flash to?
Sent from my EVO using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I'd like to flash it to work with Verizon or any other CDMA company, which I know both companies (Sprint and Verizon) use CMDA instead of GSM, like I said I know for certain my bootloader is unlocked, just wanting to make sure it actually unlocked it to work on another carrier.

*Bump*

No one has any input at all??

Unlike gsm cdma are not locked to your carrier. Just look for a guide to flash to the carrier you want. I would suggest boost or cricket if they have good coverage in your area.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app

Oh ok I'll have to look into that then, are Boost and or Cricket good carriers?

I use cricket myself and while the actual service in my area is good customer support is worthless. Most of their employees are brainless and have no clue about anything. On the plus side they will activate any phone from any carrier.
I believe that with boost it is a bit more work. Been told you need a donor phone from boost to activate but again I am not 100% sure on that.
I suggest checking out the coverage maps for your area before flashing. Also both offer 4g but use lte while the evo uses wimax so you won't be able to get 4g coverage no matter the carrier you choose.

Thanks for the info! I greatly appreciate it, I've been trying to locate a good link to download CDMA Workshop to be able to get my MSL so I can flash different PRL's to my phone because the Evo is not activated right now so I can't download the free MSL reader from the Play Store and every link I find is broken and doesn't work to actually get the CDMA Workshop downloaded....

Google "how to flash evo 4g to cricket" open guide from lovelysms and use the link there.
