Ok I am currently running Cm7 on my Dinc2 and I recently have aquired a x2 and wanted to try it out. My question is after I activate the x2 and am ready to switch back to my dinc2 will there be any activation problems?

If there is any problems with re activation of DIncII you might want to have a sense based rom on hand to access the ##778# send for the EPST settings.
CM7 seems to not be able to incorporate that "feature" into it's kitchen.
I went from a XV6900 to the DIncII for the upgrade and had to switch back to the 6900 so I wouldn't need 2 data plans.
Then had to put the Red DIncII on the primary line that has the data plan and had the Dark DIncII.
Tech support couldn't get it so I did it through the site with an old dumbphone to keep the service live.
Called Tech back right away to confirm my grandfathered data plan was still good.
Hope that helps...

I want to move the EVO to my main cell phone number on my account and switch my old Pre to the number the EVO currently has. My concern is if I root and then take my phone to Sprint to have them do the switch on my account will I have an issue with a Rooted EVO?
You should be able to switch them over the phone. No need to go in.

all you need to do is call sprint and have them do it without walking into the sprint store..all they need is the serial number of the phone and the hex number, and that should be allowing you to activate to a different line.
I had a rooted samsung moment, and wanted the evo but didnt necessarily want to pay full price for it. A friend of mine (who really liked my phone) was getting a new contract with sprint, so i told him to get the evo, and then I would trade him my Moment for the evo, plus give him some cash. He liked the idea, so we went to sprint and set everything up, basically switching my phone number to the evo, and his old number to my samsung moment.
No problems at all, although the sprint rep gave me a funny look when he saw my custom boot animation. I'm glad they didnt get a good look at my sd card lol
Yes, we've done it many times switching our flashed TP, rooted HERO, and now rooted EVO around on our 3 lines. Just make sure to use the DEFAULT dialer when they want you to run the ##3282# code. That's the only 1 I can get to work with the codes.
you can even do it online through sprint.com... it may not be as easy if you are using a custom rom though.. sometimes you need to press stuff like *533534# and stuff like that and if using a custom rom that wont always work.. but if rooted is all youve done you should be good
I was able to swap my rooted hero's line with my stock evo's line. I did it over the phone.
Hi All,
I have rooted DINC with Skyraider 4.3. My son dropped his Eris and broke the screen. I am thinking of moving to the TBolt as an early upgrade. Question is, when I move his number to my DINC (*228) will it reprogram or do I need to return to complete stock?
it will not reprogram. calling in and giving them the MEID to the phone to associate to your son's number and then doing the *228 should be enough to activate and you'll still have skyraider 4.3.
SWEET!!! Thanks, I was sweating it.

You don't even need to call in anymore to do an ESN swap. If he upgrades to the Tbolt, that will leave the DINC "empty" of service. So he can just dial *228 on the DINC, choose option 1, and input his son's phone number (and the password to the account I believe), and it will switch over and program to his phone.
I actually got a Verizon rep to activate a very obviously rooted dInc for my girlfriend. He just couldn't figure out why it didn't have that Verizon backup assistant to transfer the phone book. It was running a Sprint derived ROM at the time.
When I activated my incredible I didn't have time to flash back to stock, but since I told the rep I bought it off ebay he told me that they had installed "off brand" software on it, and i played dumb.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Yeah i did that too and it worked. More like bending the truth
Woot! Was gonna say. All I did was Call and found out I can do it all over the internet for Verizon.
When I had mine transferred I told the guy up front it was rooted. He switched it, no questions asked. He even showed it to the manager who wanted to see how well it worked. When I got my Tbolt I told him I intended to have it rooted before the day was done. The manager wanted me to bring it back to see how that worked out. I've had really positive experiences with Verizon and my rooted devices.
Hello Gentlemen and Ladies.
I was recently given a rooted Sprint HTC EVO 4G.
I bowed down and kissed the ground in thanks.
We, my benefactor, and I went post haste to the Sprint Store to get my number transferred over on to my miraclulous new device.
This went fine. We got the number swapped to the new phone, BUT
driving home we realized that it actually did not work.
So we called sprint tech support and after a long difficult conversation we realized they could not assist us.
Im asking you Kings and Queens of the Evo 4G.....is there a way I can get a rom that will allow Sprint tech support to assist me in getting my phone set up properly?
and WHICH of the 9jillion roms should i flash to?
Thank you in advance from a sparkly new noob who is worthy of nothing but contempt.
For ease of use for them activating it, just flash a stock rom, preferrably the latest one. Then once it's fully activated, you can flash another rom you like. Technically you should be able to activate it with any sense rom, but again, to make it easy for you and sprint just flash a stock one.
I agree, I would flash a stock rom that does not unroot your phone:

I'm new, but I have scoured the site and can't find what I'm looking for.
I have a Samsung Juke with a Verizon Wireless plan. I have a spare HTC Incredible that I want to replace the Juke with. Unfortunately when I talked to Verizon they said that if I switch to the Android, I have to purchase the data plan. I'm cheap, and I don't want the data plan as I have WiFi wherever I would need data.
I have already rooted and ROMed the phone using ClockworkMod 5.02, and Stock+.
Is it possible to configure the Incredible to clone the Juke, and just turn Cell data off?
If so, how?

I have mine activated with pageplus. Same network (prepaid coverage) and way cheaper
If I understand it correctly, you should be able to switch phones without getting a data plan, as long as you don't buy a subsidized phone (2 yr contract). Go to a store and tell them u just wanna switch phones, and don't have any need for data. This may have changed with their new data rules. If they FORCE you to use a data plan to get mobile access on a phone you own, that's a scam and you should switch to something like what funone46, pageplus
I appreciate the thought to switch to another carrier/plan, however I am situated with a 2 year contract that is up in October this year. Then I'll switch the Incredible to Boost and all will be well. In the meantime, I'd like to swap the Incredible in for the Juke, but I need to know if I can situate the Incredible to receive the calls and texts that would normally hit the Juke.
I know I can do this with the Incredible in place of a Samsung Incognito on Boost, but can I do this with the Incredible in place of a Samsung Juke on Verizon?

It is probably possible, but im not very familiar with it. You would have to use qpst to grab the esn and settings from the juke, and then use qpst to put the esn and settings on the incredible. I think i know how to do it in theory, but have never actually done so and am not positive if it would even work.
As I said before, I'm new. So I'm not familiar with QPST. I've already downloaded the installation files, but the screen shots look a bit complicated and I wanted to consult before I ventured that far. If I had someone giving me key assistance, I'm game to try it out. As I've said before, the Incredible is an extra phone, so I don't care about screwing it up.
I would be very grateful if you could give me a step by step, even in theory, but if you aren't comfortable, is there someone that you recommend?
I have a Sprint Epic 4g touch that I gave my nephew when I upgrade to the S4 (which I now have on S/T). I Factory rest the epic before giving it to him. He was planning to move to michigan and had the phone setup with straighttalk but only on sprint towers. Now we need to be able to reactivate the S/T plan but need to be able to use the verizon towers. Can I just reroot the phone and flash a custom prl to be able to use his michigan # he previously was giving by S/T? Or do I have to have it flashed?
Another thought occurried to me, could I just root the phone with a custom recovery then take it to the Salem, Oregon S/T store and have reactivated as a new account on the local sprint towers then when I bring it home flash a custom prl to use the verizon tower?

Have a similar question. I upgraded my S2E4GT (flashed to S/T, rooted and on CM11 Villuminati) and my friend asked if he could have it so he could use it on S/T. Wondering if, since the MEID of my S2 is no longer active on my account, if he can just buy a new S/T plan and activate from there. Or are there actions I need to do to the phone so that it's "clean" for him to just buy a S/T plan and start using the phone?

If the phone is rooted, then it will show up as custom and you may have problems. If you were able to root it once, make a backup, then take it back to stock. Get it activated and then restore your backup

Um this is old but I feel like answering kinda anyways. So I'm not 100% on what you're talking about but you cannot use this phone on Verizon. To the best of my knowledge. Which is limited.

Ok thanks. I can get it back to stock, but once there, is there anything else that needs to be done so that if I sell the phone to my friend, he can activate it on ST (without it being on my account)? Part of the reason I ask is because when I go back into the phone's settings>about phone>status it shows my phone number still listed. I "thought" it would be as easy as he buys a new ST plan and activates it that way, thus reassigning the number to the phone. But...not sure. In the meantime, I've been googling how to do this "generically" and topics of updating the PRL and or MSL come up, but I'm still trying to understand how that might work. Hoping someone already "knows" and can inform me of the process specific to our phones.
