Okay This has been an ongoing thing for me and others. Long story short I would like to have 4g/wimax implemented on my Epic Touch 4g. I have everything else working fine for my lovely phone.4g is the only thing missing.Now for those of those who are new to this topic or have questions this process has been done on the first epic. Either with launcher pro/activities/wimaxlinetest or with dialing *#147852# and accessing wimaxlinetest from there. Now with that also being said first step does not work on epic touch,when you go int eh ability to write epic mac address and save wimax mac id has been removed and that dialer code that I stated earlier does not work on Epic Touch.
Now for things that have been said already.
1."You cannot do it because phone has to be activated to sprint for 4G to be provision" Sprint 3g and 4g radios and provisioning work totally different.3g and 4g authentication works totally different. 3g talks to sprint,4g talks to clearwire.
As long as you have an active sprint account and you have a 4g device you can use same mac address on epic touch 2 that you have on boost.
2."You wont be able to use 4g because phone is not activated what so ever" Phone does not have to be activated to sprint or boost for 4g to work.Please dont tell me that it has to because I still have original 4g epic that is not activated and 4g data works just fine. I still can use youtube,gtalk,google voice,etc.AND AS I STATED EARLIER MY OG EPIC IS NOT ACTIVATED.
3."WHY DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS ANYWAY" I think the better question would be why not. Its my device I payed for it so why not use it how I want to use it. And I know its hard to do but please refrain from filling thread with unnecessary talk about being cheap,why I want to do this,its illegal etc. Because to be honest its pretty much the same principle for rooting and getting the most out of your device.And last time I checked free hotspot and changing roms and things like that are frowned upon to SPRINT so please save it lol. But then again I cannot stop no one for posting on the thread so hey. But please keep it positive or for the most part im just going to ignore you anyway. All I am asking for is help,And I would greatly appreciated it.Bashing is really not going to get us nowhere and sorry if Im coming off a little standoffish,but a great guy who does alot with helping people tried what im trying now,only for the thread to talk about things that had nothing to do with the subject. He got frustrated and decided to delete the thread. Hopefully we can get it resolved this time.
THANK YOU
LETS GET STARTED!!!!!!!!!!!
okay.... don't everybody answer at once lol

Yes. 4G Boost action
Please message me about how you got that quad data to work. I am also on Boost Mobile with my Epic 4g Touch. I have already tweaked the 3G settings (minimal gain, if any) and have been through the "Full WiMax Settings" thread with no change. I can connect but the bits aren't flowing.
NOTE: If anyone needs help going from a Galaxy Prevail to their Epic Touch I can help.
i def need help

I have an Evo on Boost now for 2 months rooted with no problems at all. I change roms all the time, update kernels, put themes and never any problems. Yesterday there was a post to update the pri to version 1.40.
I did it and it said something about resetting the phone. It shut down and ever since then I have no 3g at all. The only way I can surf the net or go to the market place is through my wireless internet in my home. I can send/receive texts/mms/phone calls but no internet.
Also, it constantly come up with an error 67 data call failed.
Thanks guys in advance
You could try updating profile under settings and system update.. let me know if this worked.. my 3g wasnt working went to sprint and did the update and is back on..
sent from my Evo
##3282#
edit mode
enter msl code
data profile
menu
restore
this will reset ALL data profile information on your phone. it will then reboot and reload all said information by re-provisioning your phone.
if you do not know your msl, call sprint tech support and ask nicely for it. they will usually give it to you. if not, hang up and call back. or just tell them you have no data and want to re-provision your phone and they will walk you through what i just did.
as a side note, sometimes this error pops up, for no good reason and goes away after a while. my guess is in your situation this isn't the case. you had a hiccup that's easily fixed.

Thank you for trying to help I really do appreciate it, but I don't have a sprint account I am on Boost Mobile and have been for 2 months now without any issues but this one
Could be a PRL problem? I don't know anything about getting an EVO on Boost, but I assume part of the process was downloading a PRL for Boost to connect to their towers?
Go back to the guide you followed and redo the steps.

this will still work on your phone. contact boost to get your msl. or use CDMA workshop. there is a thread in the dev section on using CDMA workshop.

What exactly will work on my phone?? and what should I do in CDMA Workshop? I have the program and I do know my MSL, so if you can explain what I should do to get back my data connection that would be great!
I tried to update the PRI and wiped my data profile for boost mobile and now without wifi on, I get error 67 data call failed
By the way, Thank you for trying to help, you guys are the best
No offense, but it really should not be that difficult if you set this up before!! I assume that you in fact did not set your EVO up on Boost, but gave it to someone else to set up, correct?
Simply refer to the original guide, or steps you took yourself to set the phone up on Boost in the first place - or give it back to the person that did it and let them fix it.

Hey Nukedukem,
No offense taken, however you might want to check your panties to see if you're getting your period. I thought this was a forum for people to help other people "do it themselves". If I, and everyone else did what you suggested, you'd be outside sitting on the curb with nothing to do. So if you have nothing nice to suggest, then I suggest you pass over my post and go "not help" someone else. Thanks
To everyone else: yes the guy that first did my phone is no longer to be found so if you have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate them. Also, if a programmer can help I'm more than willing to donate.
Thanks again guys
The error 67 I think may be caused by the network rejecting your phones credentials, I had this same problem last night. The only way I could fix it was to restore a nandroid backup and then have it update my profile and PRL. You may be able to get away with just restoring the backup though, trying to update anything is most likely not a good idea since you are using a network other then what the software was written for.

Sorry you took offense, but you are in WAY over your head. If you want help from a developer, you need to SEARCH FIRST.
WWW.GOOGLE.COM
Since I'm such a nice guy, I searched for you...30 seconds later I learned how to port my EVO to Boost Mobile.
http://cellphoneforums.net/boost-mobile/t307946-how-get-sprint-phones-boostmobile-cdma.html
Oh, and uh...try not to choke on my menorrhagia.
That method did work MONTHS ago but not now that SPRINT changed up their website your not allowed to do esn swaps anymore. I was able to do it months ago with my touch pro2 and i have an EVO now and just tried to reprogram my phone cause i had the msl code and input my boost number and msid like i did before with the touch pro2. It reseted but when i went to make a call it said account cannot be validated so had to get sprint service again. Soon as someone comes out with a VALID way of getting the EVO working on boost Im going back to them.

did u fix the problem?
it's because you have a sprint 1.4 pri and need a modified boost pri...until that is changed, no 3g for you, but seriously, there is an app that gives you your MSL code
Is it just me or is fully flashing the Samsung Epic 4G to MetroPCS the best kept secret?
I got my phone fully flashed today from some guy on Craigslist and it's literally mind-boggling that no one on the internet has toppled this "obstacle". Am I missing something? Is there a reason why legitimate information about flashing the Epic to Metro is so rare to find?
By the way, I've been viewing the settings for the last hour and literally everything I've seen on the internet was obsolete. MMSC URL, DSA Server, and even altering the proxy and port in the Advanced Wi-Fi Settings. There's not even a proxy or port displaying at all.
I'm still rooted but I was running EC05 (Official Froyo) with the SyndicateROM Frozen Rom but now that he reflashed it, I'm stuck with ECLAIR DG27... I'm not risking a manual update because I don't want to lose my MMS and Web functionality especially considering the fact that I had to pay smh.
If anyone needs my ##DATA# settings, let me know. Maybe, together, we can figure this thing out...
It's mostly because
1) Our phone isn't exactly popular on demand.
2) Our phone isn't appreciated for what it has.
3) The Dev's who had metro and this phone went poof.
4) The other 5 things I missed.
because metro pretty much sucks...
I always put geo engines in my lambos

Does the data work on this phone? Can you wireless teather? Can you browser the internet? Does mms work?
I haven't tried tethering but everything else works. I even tried out the GPS on my way home, works flawlessly.
No surprise the GPS works... That is a completely independent service. Transmitter and software.
You're right about the GPS. The internet works and mms also sends and receives. I'm sure we'll soon find a solution to this problem.
I wouldn't mind a guide. I hate sprint. Maybe you should check on the vibrant(or sorry whatever verizons galaxy s is)? Or if anybodys got it working for nexus s4g..
cd's or tapes?
Hmm... I'll look around.
There is a full guide in the dev section, it's buried deep so have to go buy lots of pages...

I actually viewed that before but I was unsure if it would work for metro. Maybe by incorporating metro settings rather than the boost settings but I don't know.

I read somewhere that if someone were to let's say..do the whole "boost mobile incog" to "epic 4g" method they can get in trouble and even get their phone remotely deactivated because the network finds out they're using another phone from the use of android market and other apps the incognito doesn't have... is this true? or even worth asking about?
Note: Although an answer to this question may be directly related to esn modifications ***Please do not discuss meid/esn mods.. I know its looked down upon here in the forums (illegal).... Refrain from discussing how to do this type of mod or posting any links on how to while answering this hypothetical question.. I've just never heard of this actually happening to someone... thanks
Sent from my old but still kickin Epic 4g
i am curently using verizon prepain services right now but the phones available suck. i have an htc evo 4g that i was using on sprint. what im wondering is if i can flash it to work with verizon prepaid and if so how. now i know there is a post in development but cause im new i cant view it. if someone could help me id be eternally greatful.
I'm in the process of fully flashing my evo to alltel. It's currently activated and data was working for a few hours but has stopped. I can help you get to where I am now.
Use CDMA workshop to get your SPC code.
Plug in your phone using USB cable.
Select "charge only".
Enable "USB debugging" (applications->development).
Dial ##3424# for DM command service.
Download HTC DIAG drivers.
If they don't install automatically, mine didn't, go to devices and printers, find your android device with the exclamation mark. (properties, hardware, properties, driver, update driver, browse my computer..., let me pick..., have disk, browse for your DIAG driver).
Download CDMA workshop and find which port your evo is on. Connect. Go to "Security" tab. Read SPC. Click "write". (You can either remember this code or set it to 000000.)
You're done with CDMA workshop. Exit diag mode on your evo.
EPST
Dial ##3282#. Select edit mode. Use whichever code you decided on in CDMA workshop, either 000000 or the code it was originally set to.
This is where you'll input your Verizon settings.
I'm still working on the Alltel ones. Maybe someone here has advice on how to proceed. Hope this helps.
Where are you stuck at? I have 2 evo 3'ds here and I know how to do it all besides repairing it for verizon. I can do everything else besides that step. Never done a evo (repair)and cant find the answers I need. Almost to the point of buying dfs evolution! LOL
I had a full guide to Flash Evo's to Verizon prepaid but the Admins took it down, right now I have an Evo, Evo 3d, Epic and even a Thunderbolt flashed to VzwPP.
All have full 3G unlimited data along with unlimited voice text and MMS for $50 a month.
Thunderbolt was very hard but the rest was a snap, if you need modded PRL's or anything just give me a shout.

Is there a way for 3G to switch to 4G automatically? Yes, I know that 4G has to be turned on separately, but I know my old blackberry was capable of this, where you didn't have to turn the 4G toggle on, and wait for it to work. I wasn't using sprint at the time, but 4G is rare to me now, and I'd like my phone to switch to 4G on its own, without draining my battery and keeping it on. Is this possible? Or is this only with GSM phones? And can it be done with this phone? Details help, all post are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Sorry, wrong section.. If a mod see this, please move it... thanks...
You would probably be better off asking a mod to move this to the questions...and...answers...section.

But.
Sprint Connections Optimizer is what you're looking for. Though most disable/remove it. For the answers to why it's what you're looking for and why people don't use it. Just do some searching.
