Alright, I tried looking up info on this for about 2 days. I seen the guide but I can't find a CDMA Workshop and I really don't want to pay $108 for the program when I'd only use it once. I'm just at a wall here.
Anyway, I have a EVO 4g running metrodroid, Calling and mms works fine and all that. Like I said I went to follow the guide to try and get the internet working but I can't find that program. My question is if there is another way that I didn't see or something of that sort. I'm sorry if I seem really noobish. I come and look at this site alll the time and it's been a big help for me in the past but I just don't know what to do.
I would post a link here but, I'd be violating the forum rules. What I can say is to look for cdma workshop in youtube they have videos and links in description. Hope that helps.

Just wondering cause I seen my friend with his CM7 root and loved it. I've been researching for a couple of days now including reading the wiki but want a clear cut choice from someone who has rooted and I want to make sure I use the newest safest method.
I followed the Wiki http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD on this site about a week ago and it worked for me. Wasn't too hard but you should follow the instructions to the letter. Read and re-read and then make sure you have the ability to do all the steps before you actually start. There is nothing scarier than watching your phone get stuck in a boot and thinking you have bricked it!
Having said that, I'm running CM 7 RC2 now and it's made my phone so much better.
And if you don't have ADB, this was helpful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865685
I see nothing you developed in this thread dude...do you not know what Q&A means????? Just in case its questions and answers. Sorry for being harsh but this **** is so easy to avoid you kind of deserve it

Was also looking for an all in one guide but no luck. They have it on Desire HD it was so simple and easy to follow. the wiki was fine though. If you found one hope you could share it. I'm not even sure if I missed something.
How did he post here with only 8 posts??
Thanks Tangiers for the info but to Spastic 909 thank you for being useless dude I asked for advice in the wrong spot sorry. I wonder if I had posted in the right spot if you would have even posted anything I'm guessing not. +1 for the Troll then I guess.
You are welcome. Good luck and don't be put off by it looking complicated. I am no expert but managed to do it without any problems.
And once you have root, a whole new world of fun opens!

Hello everyone, I have been following this site for a while, and I recently made an account so I could give feedback while I beta tested some ROMs. Well I can't post in the developer section yet so I thought I would ask a question or two.
[question]
So I searched the forums (I tried to be thorough but I am on the app so I may have missed the answer to this) and after being unable to find my answer I come to you community!
Does anyone know of a way to get a Samsung Epic 4G to work on Virgin Mobile? I saw some small discussions but nothing concrete.
I am curious because I have Sprint on my dad's plan (for I am but a poor college boy), and he sometimes forgets to pay the bill. I would like to get my own plan, but can't afford more than Virgin Mobile's $25 plan, but I love my Epic and VM is lacking the high end devices I crave.
So if anyone has any information on this, I would appreciate it. A tutorial would be nice, but I also want to learn, so even if a feasible means is not available, perhaps an explanation of why not is available. Also, if this is possible, what would I stand to lose if I did this?
Thank you for any future help.

I can't seem to find any info specifically on google or XDA towards this, so maybe Virgin Mobile isn't that popular to us high end phone techies?
Unfortunately I have no experience with this, but it has been done for the Boost network, so I suppose it could be possible. Check out this video on how to port it to Boost, maybe it can put you on the right track to getting on Virgin Mobile:
Switching to Boost
Again, no promises, but you wanted info.
Thank you. I believe I read somewhere that if you buy a Samsung Moment, and activate it on Virgin Mobile, then flash the Esn of that phone to the epic, it will work. I will check the video and see what I can come up with.

Hello guys and thanks for the wonderful forum dedicated to Android. Is amazing I am newbie on the smart phones arena but I have good understanding of computer and stuff
I have read several threads in order to gather all info before posting. I think I have learned somewhat what I need but I would like confirmation of the steps I must follow.
I have an HTC Evo 4g from Sprint not in use that I would like to connect to my MetroPCS account.
I have rooted the phone using the Unrevoke3. I take is NAND flashed already.
Now reading this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795182&page=110 Is my understanding I need follow this prep topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8395950#post8395950 and then jump into the Metrodroid 2.2 ?
After that what ROM do I need? What kernel? Then after that I must add the ESN to Metro ?
If this procedure is correct please let me know if not I will love to have some guidance I think I am close to complete the task.
Thanks again
Pifive
I personally have no idea. I know metro can flash a cdma over to their network but as far as a rom to use with it, i'm at a loss.
Hello just giving a small bump see what directions should I take or what I posted above is in the correct order of what I should follow?
Help appreciated.
I, too, would like to assist, but I don't know anything about MetroPCS or setting up the EVO to work with it. Sorry.

i highly doubt it seeing as the EVO isnt a gsm/SIMCARD (att, tmobile, simple) phone... its all CDMA/NO SIMCARD (sprint, boostmobile, cricket, metro, pageplus, etc) So u are able to unlock programming and activate to another CDMA carrier...whole other ballpark
To the best of my knowledge, no. The Evo has no simcard, so you can't unlock what it doesn't have. Just for future reference, this type of post should go in the Q&A forum rather than here in development. XDA tries to keep threads in here limited to active ROM development, ports and How-To guides. You will also get a more thorough answer to your questions over in Q&A, since people with knowledge will be in there looking to help with stuff like this. Posting in the correct forum will also keep your blister count down as you won't be getting flamed by the forum trolls. Hope this was at least a little helpful!
Pierceye that was awesome explaining how these forums work instead of blasting the guy. Way to often people around here are quick to jump someone's ass, some of us around here haven't lost our decency and remember we were all once new here.

Thanks twice! Trying to encourage a bit more civil attitude. Seems a shame to drive new people away before they even learn the ropes. No new people means no new ideas=Bad for ROM development!
Greetings,
I've spent all day on this so far and haven't come up with any definitive answers so I am posting here. Forgive me if these questions have been answered, I haven't found them yet.
History: I have a Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 2 that a friend gave me when she upgraded. As of this moment it does not have a SIM card, and there is a slot available for one. I called T-Mobile and a SIM card is on the way from them. I am opting for a pay-as-you-go solution because I really don't care about data, coverage for data is spotty in the rural area where I live and not worth the cost of a contract with a carrier like Verizon. I unlocked the phone today with an online service (gsmliberty.net) and it worked great. So I have an unlocked phone, Verizon's stock ROM, and a SIM card from T-Mobile on the way.
I want to use the phone for calls (of course) and to use wifi when it's available. I want to be able to use the phone as a music player, snapshot camera, and play audio books on it too.
Questions:
What is the best ROM for T-Mobile's pay-as-you-go GSM network for making calls?
It is my understanding from reading scads of forum posts that CDMA vs GSM is all about data speeds, is that correct?
Thank you ahead of time for any and all useful information.
I haven't used GSM yet but I would think that GSM would be slower considering you'll be runkjng the phone on a different carrier.

I understand and I'm really not trying to beat a dead horse or kill kittens but searching for GSM turns up so many topics that I ended up being more confused than finding answers to my questions. After searching this forum for hours yesterday I still had not seen the topic you sent me the link to. Thank you.

Thanks for the replies knipp. I agree, a sticky or pinning the topic would be a good thing. I almost volunteered to set up a post for that but need to realistically look at how much time I could devote to it first.
Thank you also for the additional link. I am keeping a pretty good record of what I am doing, so when it's all said and done I will post how I got my phone to work with T-Mobile and GSM to help other people with the same questions and issues.

That thread has literally everything you need to know, and I have a youtube video on how to do it, and the thread is now stickied. I have t-mobile working just fine on my droid inc 2, no offense but people really need to read /:
