I have read several of the guides, also flashing is not new to me.
I have a Sprint EVO 4G that I need to get to Boost for my daughter.
She already has Boost, but it is a dumb phone.
So in the process they say you have to call Boost and get some kind of number is there any easier way to do this, with out calling Boost?
You don't need anything at all from Boost. However you do need a CDMA account. All info in the donor CDMA phone must be flashed to the EVO for it too work on Boost. Having read the guides you should have a good understanding of what is needed to be done.
CDMA Workshop will get the needed number (MSL or SPC code).
You can also download an app on the Market that will get it for you.
Ahh perfect, well I do not have a donor CDMA phone.
I have the WIMAX number
MEID HEX number
MEID DEC number
Can I proceed with this?
You can get phone and text working, possibly 2g, but 3d. You need a donors passwords for 3g. You can probably get a donor for $30 or less.
I bought one on Ebay Pre set for Boost
If you don't own a phone and u were gonna buy a evo there some on ebay pre set up for boost they will even come activated

First of all, I would like to thank all the members on xda who have worked on the evo for metropcs! So, after countless hours of research and trial and error I was able to get my evo flashed to metropcs. As was doing this, I ran into a couple of problems/questions that I would like someone to address(or can redirect me where I can find that information):
A. It seems to me that most solution to "flash" a phone to metropcs assume that you already have tallk and text on your phone. Why?
B. To get talk and text I had to modify the nam settings and write a metro prl using cdma. I then had to pay someone on ebay to put the esn into metros database. Would the same settings apply to most phones(evo 3d, nexus, iphone etc) ?
C. Besides ebay, does anyone know where I can add ESN's into metro's database (I tried my local stores but they didn't want to).
D. This last question is just out of curiosity: I know metro has lte and sprint wimax and that's why the evo can't get 4g. But, what if we change the WiMax settings(in particular the NAI) on a flashed phone to that of a evo that is on sprint(of course with the person's permission). Would the phone get 4g from that person account?
I'd like to start of by saying I managed to esn repair my evo 4g for virgin mobile service, with a lg optimus v as a donor phone. I'm having trouble getting the optimus to connect to cdma workshop to pull needed information. I was able to access programming menus and put in my msid, but I can't put in my number to make the calling work. Hopefully someone can help me out, Otherwise I'll have to swap the esn again for my intercept. It took me forever (literally probably 16+ hours in the past couple days) to get the esn and meid changed, so I'm hoping I don't need to do it again. At any rate, if anyone can offer me advice as to the easiest way to pull settings from my donor phone, I'm all ears. I've been reading around everywhere and information on the matter is scarce. I understand the legality issues which in my opinion are debatable (I'm not stealing service, own all the phones, and they all have clear meid's, from my understanding I'm not doing anything wrong modifying my own belongings) but the lack of information is really holding me back. Someone please get with me ASAP I'd love to get my phone going.
EDIT: I was able to put my mdn into the evo using cdma tool but it's still not making calls, I think there's more I need, but I still can't get the donor phone connected to any cdma programs.
Bump. Anyone? I've been trying to get this working for days now.
Did you try QPST or DFS? I know you said CDMA workshop but you may want to try the other two i mentioned if your having issues with CDMA workshop.
Hi a friend of mine wants to trade his Epic 4g Touch for my Evo Shift. I'm pretty sure it's worth the trade but before I do I wanna know what's possible on it first.
What all carrier(s) can the Epic be flashed to?
What's the best performing/fastest carrier available?
And is the flashing process easy?
Thanks in advance

First he's either trading off a bad device or doesn't understand his E4GT is superior in all ways to the Evo Shift.
Get the ESN and call Sprint to make sure it's clean.
Make sure he hasn't damaged it in any way, internal or external.
There are several Galaxy SII's so check the model number. Ours is SPH-D710 which I think can only be supported by Sprint, although it seems like there's a post somewhere about flashing it to Boost and US Cellular. (Found the links)

Keep in mind phones that run on Sprint can not run on AT&T or Verizon networks. (I stand correct, thanks booksyx) apparently it can be flashed to Verizon.
Flashing on this phone is super easy so long as you read and follow all instructions and when in doubt, ask questions. There are several incredible ROMs currently for this phone of both Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich flavors. Read in the development section to see for yourself.
The post above me has many incorrect statements.
The epic 4g touch can run on almost any CDMA network. I currently have mine running on Virgin Mobile. It can also be flashed to boost mobile, cricket, metro pcs, verizon, etc.
They key to getting it working on those networks is to have a donor phone where you can extract all the NAM keys, esn/meid, and data keys and flash them to the epic 4g touch. Really isnt to hard once you have all the keys to write them.
My epic 4g touch has everything working on virgin mobile. Calling/SMS/MMS/3g/Wimax. However you will have to go elsewhere for a wimax solution. Best part is I only pay $25 a month for all this!
The ESN is clean and it's also relatively new. Not 100% sure what the exact model is but i'll find out when he gets off work.
The whole reason he's making the trade is because EVO is his favorite phone. He was going to trade me his iPhone 4 for my EVO but then I found out that even if I flash the iPhone 4 that Data and MMS dont function fully. So I didnt want that.
But If the Epic is that much more superior that makes me want it more now, as long as I can get it fully functional on a prepaid service that is.
I wasn't aware there was so many different versions. Because he didnt tell me it was an Epic, all he said was Galaxy S II. So I ended up posting in the wrong forum. But his is Sprint though so everyone said it's an Epic 4g Touch.
That's good that it's relatively easy to flash. I personally prefer boost, but whatever is fully functional and runs the fastest
*Edit
Does every carrier require a donor phone to Flash to?

Many incorrect? lol I see one (oh make that two, didn't know that about Verizon) and that's why I said thinks like *I think* as in I'm not 100% sure, just going on what I've recently read here on XDA.
Thanks for clarifying that though.
Hi everyone! This is my first post, hopefully I don't get canned too fast. Here's my situation - I have an Evo 4G that I had with Sprint. I no longer have the service, but still use the phone's wifi for internet and of course I also use the music application. I recently signed up for some weird government free phone thing with tracphone. I have a POS tracphone with 250 free mins every month. Instead of carrying 2 phones with me everywhere, I want to flash/enable the Evo 4G to be on the tracphone network. I basically want to use the serial number and phone number from the tracphone on my Evo 4G. And it seems like it's possible. As I'm brand new to this, my first thing was to download the "evo flashing tools.rar" file. I haven't opened it yet and have NO idea what I'm getting myself into.
Please note, I am NOT trying to get the Evo 4G's 3G/4G network speed going...I will be content with being on a crap network, the crap network that Tracphone uses. I will only be using web features etc while connected to a wireless network. I just want to be able to make calls and send texts from this Evo 4G while being on the tracphone network.
Any and all help is appreciated! As I'm a noob I'm sure there's many links and tutorials I need to know about, so if anyone is kind enough to help me out on this I would be so thankful! I'm sick of carrying around 2 phones!
okay I downloaded the main rar, and I'm reading through the "evo 4g tut" PDF. It seems like they assume thedonor phone can be plugged into the computer...but of course my donor phone is a $10 piece of crap that does not connect to the computer in any way whatsoever.
The tutorial is saying I need to get the ESN and MEID, HA, AAA, 1192 and 1194. How could I possibly get that information out of this phone? It's literally a $10 tracphone that doesn't have the capability to connect to a computer. What do I do now? Is this even possible?
Did you look under the battery?
For just talk and text to work, you need meid, mdn, and msid from donor. You will probably have to change PRL too. Does the tracphone take a sim card? If so, it is not possible to do what you are wanting to do. If you need a little more help or info, shoot me a pm

thanks!
Ok wait I just popped open the Tracphone and yes it does have a SIM card. Couldn't I just pop the sim from this and put it in the Evo 4G? All I want is talk and text.
But seriously? If it has a SIM card there's no way to use the Tracphone service on my Evo?
I found the IMEI.
Shouldn't I be in business?
How could I get the info I need from the Tracphone without it having the capability to connect to a computer?
There's an almost identical thread/method here but involving using the Evo 4G with Virgin Mobile. This has to be possible. Right?
It's not possible to get your CDMA Evo 4g on a GSM network. You're out of luck.
Does your evo have a sim card slot?

Hi,
I have the sprint version of the Samsung S3. I have all ready flashed the phone over to verizon prepaid. The phone is working with talk, text and 1x data. I did use the Samsung fascinate to get my ha and aaa keys. I have the full version of cdma workshop. On the fascinate everything works great. So I that if I copied all the info and keys from fascinate to the s3 in cdma workshop that everything would work. It does not. The S3 says 3g the icon shows up. But when look at about phone the network status is 1x. Please help
Thanks

If you get 1x, Just back the NV item from the donor in cdmaws. and restore them on the GS3.
unlock phone with spc
back up Nv items, 465,466, 1192, 1194,
(they contain HA and AAA passwords)
restore the four nv's on you gs3. Done.
please help me, i have a s3 and verizon prepaid i tried a lot of different setting i can get service/active
used a donor flip phone,
i tried the non-evdo and evdo prl , a nd b, sid only, cdma and hdr ,cdma only /, how do i get my min# i called them and asked for it and they gave me a number that starts with 0573563778
please mate
Okay well I got the real min from the donor phone , Verizon did not want to give them to me.lol. so I tried sooooooo many combinations and the answer is ,b then a, and automatic for the other 2 thingys, I got Verizon facaniate and was going to get the ha and award keys like you said although I was told my flashedphones.net that I would olny have 4 out of 7 of the authentication keys and would be getting my account terminatedas soon as a Verizon tech looked into my account and lose my phone number , and he can do it right with no worries about getting into trouble for $99 bucks although its been about a week now and I guess he is busy and not answering messages to get this done, so I am asking people here who has done the facaniate method mention above and not had any problems with Verizon closing their account. Please confirm that it is safe to use the method and not get your account terminated.
