So I'm buying an Epic 4G Touch from someone who flashed it to Cricket. They had Sprint then flashed to cricket for some reason and then went to Verizon. Would I just have to ODIN the most recent version on to have it back on Sprint or what needs to be done?

i have no clue what ur talking about man lol. flashing carriers? lol. all i know is that cricket runs on sprints network. its a prepay phone network i think, but i have not a clue about flashing carriers lol
I have flashed my E4GT in the other direction, from Sprint to Cricket. You need some information that I don't know how to find, and then you need a program called QPST to apply that information.
Here is a link to the tutorial I used to do the flashing. I don't have any idea how to do the reverse; apologies.
Hope this gets you on the right track.
Download the latest version of CDMA workshop and flash a Sprint PRL. Google is your friend

get it? incredible phone....nevermind.
I need the latest Verizon PRL so I can roam on Verizon's tower, so if anyone know how to copy it from their phone onto the computer for me would be great. Thanks
Note: I have the HTC EVO and no service with Sprint in my area(roaming) with 1x/1bar
Soooo... would this work?

I recently posted a verizon prl , I think in Android General. You'll have to search it out. Version 52011. It is the second most recent one.
BTW I'm not sure what you're proposing will work.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
there is a thread about this in the evo forum.
why not use the prl posted there?
yes i looked there and used those PRLs for the evo in the evo forums.
Really I don't know why I get 1x on ever prl I use. only difference is some PRLs give me a roaming sign and others dont...i'll search for that PRL you mention in your post, hopefully I havne used that one yet
I have the verizon/alltell hybrid prl if you'd like it.
I made a Verizon / sprint hybrid prl for my brothers evo and it works just like what your trying to do. Make sure to uncheck preferred home network while in cdma workshop or you will get roaming. If you pm me I can send you about ten different ones I had made.

I am confused... so just by flashing a different operator's prl - you can use their towers too??? Doesn't the device have to be authorized to connect to sprint as well?
Sorry to jump in but the above post is correct if your Phone's ESN isn't on Verizon's list of active ESNs all you will do is Roam.

Sprint users can hybrid with verizon and verizon users can hybrid with alltel. I had a tech switch me to a hybrid alltel/verizon prl b/c where I live is all old alltel towers and my inc wasn't using them and my service was unusable. I didn't even know what he was talking about then until months later when I started reading here.
Is it possible to make a hybrid for multiple towers 3 or more
Verizon alltel and sprint or is two the Max

Is this because sprint has a roaming arrangement with verizon? Still, very unusual... So a sprint user can flash a hybrid prl on their evo to get it to connect to verizon towers without paying roaming charges? If this is the case, why is this not all over the web? Very odd...
Verizon brought Alltel so giving inc users a hybrid to connect to alltel towers is no biggie but a sprint verizon hybrid prl is very odd. And would it work in reverse? Can i flash a prl which will allow my inc to connect to sprint towers as well just in case they are closer to me?
I'm not sure on the sprint users but when I asked him if I could get on sprint towers as well as alltell b/c sprint is best in an area I drive through, that's what he told me.
I went from 52011 to 52078. I saw higher numbers in other forums... are PRLs based off of location? Which Verizon prl is in the Verizon / Alltel Hybrid ? Any benefits of an Incredible(using Myns Warm TWOPOINTTWO) using a Sprint /Verizon Hybrid?

A Sprint Verizon hybrid would be amazing. You'd be able to use both towers

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.

Its only possible by rewritting esn as virgin is owned by sprint and each virgin esn is scanned in their system

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!

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!

If you dont get good sprint service chances are you will get even worse service with boost. Boost mobile is a sprint company and runs off sprint towers and has no roaming.

hey there i need help flashing my samgsung galaxy to boost i followed the video and the post but when i get to the drivers for the samsung it wont install i have a sph-d710 and the download is for a sph-d700 and i tryed to get the drivers for mines but it wont show up in my ports but everything else is all right
Hoping I can get some help! I have a Sprint S2 on Boost for my pop. had someone flash it for me. worked perfectly. now i have no data. I am 99% sure I know what is wrong but don't know the KEYS to fix it.
OK from the top. everything worked. but a few hours later voicemail went poof. dial into vmail says invalid number. Grrr nothing I do seems to make it reset then I remember that changing ESN resets voice mail.
SO I activate a boost android phone. it activates fine but no data. it did not "activate" right (boosts end I assume) anyway the automated support provides instructions if you get no data as a last resort kind of thing if you tried everything else.
it has me punch in a ##xxxxxx# string and the phone reboots and intiates activation and data comes on! yeah.
Voicemail is now working again as well.
OK so I swap ESN back to the flashed S2
voicemail properly resets. its working now. calls and text are working but no data now.
I think I know what I need to do. I need to do some similar ##xxxxxx# thing (no its not ##MSL# tried that already) to get it to reset the data connection like I did on the other phone.
BUT .... HOW do I do it? what is the ## code I need to do this on the S2? I can't use automated help since that system "THINKS" I have a different phone so the instructions are wrong (sanyo 3810)
so what I need is the ## code or whatever the procedure is to force the phone to reset its data connection and get 3G back.
....
i wanted people To see it work but there is still more to the puzzle like data I'm sure this was not the only way to write a prl to the phone and can't wait to get my hands on another one as the one I had was a customers dat had took it to 3 cricket store already and was giving the run around about how its impossible to flash it took all of a hour to get it talk and text flash with a little more time I'm sure I could have got data
Could one potentially use part of this to safely change their PRL only? i.e. putting a corporate PRL on the phone?
EDIT: It seems to have worked.
Yes You can use this To put any prl You want even tho u rename it test it still Will show the verison in about

So even though this is a 4g lte phone, it is able to be flashed to metropcs? Currently i have the evo 3d flashed to metro and I wanted to get the galaxy nexus. But I wasn't sure if the sprint version could be flashed or not.

If i was to buy a sprint galaxy nexus and go to any metropcs, they would be able to flash it and get talk and text with their program of houdini? or you have to use a different program in order to flash it?
As of right now no houdini Will not work You can check there website tho

Metro PC's is a joke
You are better off looking on Craigslist find someone who has a store (preferably)
Why?
Because even in the event they do do it you will probably only get talk and text.Usually no mms or web
An independent retailer will most likely get the job done better.

No one can flash this at all. Is there/Will there be software? So that it can be flashed to cricket. This is what I wanted. Now I guess I will put the phone on craigslist. Any insight.
What about another phone similar like nexus s
I have been kicking myself for a week now trying to get a Nexus on cricket and I have been getting nowhere. Its their international phone and it works when I put a sim card in it from AT&T and T-Mobile but no such luck with Cricket.
Sorry about the hi jack. But the site video said if I can't find the exact answer that I'm looking for I should find one close to it and post it in there.
The phone is mod GT: i9020T Google Nexus S
Thanks in advance.
You can only flash a CDMA phone to Cricket or MetroPCS the i9050T is a GSM phone.. if it uses a sim card it wont work...
I'm sorry if this is in the forum somewhere but I couldn't fine it. Is there a way to flash a LS970 to verizon? Not 4g since I am not going to solder on a sim tray but for just 3g service?
You might be able to get it to work on page plus but certainly not Verizon without doing something illegal I think. Search around, I'm sure you'll find your answer

I'm guessing you can ESN Swap, Or "ESN Clone" with an active Verizon phone. But Verizon LTE operates on the 700mhz Spectrum, This phone is programmed only for 1900mhz LTE.
I dont care about verizon or page plus or who ever...
