I got my Epic flashed over a month ago. but they didn't give me the donor phone. I have switched Roms with no issue,but when I manually updated my prl, i lost 3g and my network connection. It called verizon when 611 was dialed. So, I ended up having to take the phone back to the guys who flashed it in the first place.
Long story short...to keep from having to pay theese guys more $ that I don't have, I have not made any changes to the prl or modem.
1. Am I screwed by not having the donor phone in my possesion?
If not...
2. what is safe for me to do with my epic, and what's not?(software wise)
Thanks
somebody! Anybody? C'mon guys, don't leave me hangin...

Alright, I realize you're new, but looking at like two threads would tell you that you need to include some information!
Rooted?
Root method?
ROM?
Kernel?
PRL?
PRI?
hboot?
Recovery?
Radio?
Signal?

I'm still a little bit new to XDA so I don't know if this has been asked. I'm experiencing very slow 3g speeds on my Evo 4g Nd I was wondering if there is a way to fix it. I'm not rooted if that matters.

@shonmac11: Go HERE it will explain step by step how to root your phone, nandroid backup, flash a rom, and any other question you have. Remember, if you root your can always UNROOT if you need to for some reason and it's relatively simple too.

From what we have all learned, its a nationwide problem that towers are being overcrowded, and sprint is throttling those towers to keep them from breaking down.

I've done some searching around but haven't really found anything. This is my second Evo on Boost. The speeds barely raech 400kb/s. My first one was just over 1mb which was decent for me. I am not the one who did the flash either times.
I'm just curious to if someone has any ideas or suggestions or some settings I could try. I do get the 3G icon most of the time and other rare times it may go to 1x.

I don't believe so. I forgot to mention I'm on CM7 Rom and AOSP roms don't offer a EPST which can be critical with this phone being flashed. I'm getting a Sense rom now and gonna see what I can do.
PRI V-60662
Baseband-2.15.00.11.19
That's what I currently have with the CM7 rom.

First you need to setup a boost account and get the donor phone active so that you can port the sprint number over to boost before you cancel with sprint. Once the donor is good to go and your number has been ported then you can start with the xfer of info from the donor to your ET.
Remember boost does not "roam" if you can live with that or dont really need roaming by all means switch.
Or you can wait till the ET is on boost, sell yours and buy the boost version which will be the same as the sprint version.

You will need to read more than just the tut on how to flash the et4g of you don't understand the jargon. You will need to read up on what everything means as well and how to use the software required for the flashing process. You can't just flash a zip and switch carriers, it's not as simple as unlocking a GSM phone, and can seriously damage or brick the device. If you pull or push the wrong NV items your device won't boot up or connect to cdma workshop or qxpt or whatever its called and can be a real ***** to repair once the NV is borked so you need to do some studying before you jump into this.

Theoretically the settings will stick between flashes, they do when flashing roms from recovery, except occasionally mms apn settings will need to be reset. However depending on what you flash thru Odin they may not stick if the tar includes NV items it will screw it up, I've never flashed a phone to another carrier but I know alot of ppl who have and have no issues flashing the basics, rom, kernel, modem/radio, mods, themes, etc. But if you do a full tar restore in Odin there's a chance it could include files that will overwrite the donor settings but I'm not 100% sure on that

Oh, that's fine then.
I mean that if I use Odin to flash a kernel and recovery that it won't ruin anything.
I ask because on my EVO 3d almost every other Time I flash a Rom it resets my meid and esn back to sprint; that's why I'm going to the et4g. Hopefully it won't happen over here.

No modem is going to change your service provider. Service provider settings are stored in the phones radio software which can only be edited via pc software.

Yes, cdma software (qpst, dfs, cdma tool etc) is needed to edit radio settings and no there will not be an easier way to flash to boost mobile no matter if it comes out for boost or not. The only advantage of it coming to boost is that you can probably flash a stock boost rom that will have the correct apn settings but thats really easy to change and has nothing to do with getting a phone to run on a different carrier. The only thing apn really affects is mms.
