[Q] Evo 4G on Boost Mobile

Is there a real guide on how to get a Sprint Evo 4G working on Boost Mobile? I have searched everywhere on various forums, but have come up empty handed. Except for some youtube videos, no1 wants to even talk on how to do it.

Wrong place for this question. Should be in Q & A.
Impossible to put EVO on Boost Mobile.

No, its not impossible. I have seen it for myself.

Just call Boost Mobile Customer Service, give then the ESN number, which must be clean, and have then activate the ESN. You must have a working Boost Mobile account prior to doing it. Do not tell them you have an EVO, just give them the ESN. Some reps will tell you right away it can't be done, others do not even look at the fact that it is a Sprint phone and just put it on the system. Keep trying, be courteus, if the 1st rep does not do it, call back. It has worked for me.

Lol no matter if he gives them the esn it dont have to be clean why u think people switch to cricket u need to flash the prl first and then manual add the wdb and mms settings u must have ur boost number first just follow the cricket guide but google boost mms and web servers and uze them along with ur boost prl

do what he said but instead of calling back just go onto boostmobile.com and do it there you may need to enter the esn number 3 or 4 times but it will take it.

I had my evo done because i couldn't find a good guide to flash it to boost. Now everything is working great.
oh and my boost phone also works too. It's basically a clone.

Not wise to keep them on at the same time.
I'd say outright dumb.
But hey, your mileage may vary

THANK YOU! Im reading like "are these ppl serious?" Calling boost with an Evo Esn # will get u nowhere they're not gonna activate it Period. if it was that simple Sprint would have NO business. I dont know the Step by Step (but i seen the process) but the evo must be properly flashed to work with boost (too much work for me so i jus had a friend of a friend do it for me for $70) and from wut i understand its technically illegal cus it involves esn cloning an other trickery blah blah...politics

No your wrong boost is owned by sprint and their cdma phones run off of sprint network truth is a Evo could run on boost cdma portion if and only if you get someone dumb enough to activate the esn and imei on there without checking what type of phone it is I've seen both Evo's and here's on boost. Truth is those people got lucky and no no esn cloning is needed like I said you just need someone dumb enough to NOT CHECK WHAT PHONE IT IS! You won't have 4G but you still get 3G, all possible cause THEY RUN ON THE SAME NETWORK AND SIGNAL

Im not exactly wrong, I know boost is owned by sprint and I see wut ur saying ..yes if u get lucky enough to get a rep to just blindly activate an evo then lucky u. ESN cloning is an (illegal) precaution cus believe it or not most of the reps do their job an will deny activation. but let's say they do activate it that way, everything is not gonna work like web an mms those settings HAVE to be manually altered.
The whole point is for boost to think u have one of there phones... any rep has the right to shut u down if they see an evo on ur account

Thx but no Thx Ive brought many boost/nextel phones. i90/i95/i730/i530/i930 etc. I even use to mod them. Now Ive UPGRADED to have an ANDROID Evo an Im not Downgrading/buying another crappy boost phone. SO if anyone has any useful info plz inform me. Also Ive seen u can gsm unlock the phone how useful is that.

Question for those with their EVO on boost mobile...

Alright i've flashed a few phones before...but never to boost.
It looks really confusing...so I have two questions.
1. The whole MEID thing looks very confusing, do I really need another boost phone to do this?
2. Does it work perfectly on the $50 plan or must you do the $55 plan?

1) Yes you do need a 3G donor phone. I suggest the incognito.
2) My evo is boosted on the $50 unlimited plan with no issues (anymore...lol)

The steps you took to put your evo on boost, could the same thing be done for virgin mobile?

Yes but you will need a virgin mobile 3g phone instead of the incognito suggested above

[Q] is there a way to repair a bad esn?

i want to flash my evo to boost mobile but it has a bad esn so i can, is there a way to change it or repair it?

Yep there is and its a simple process. Just search for the many available guides for Flashing to Boost. You'll need a donor Boost phone of course.

You can flash phones with bad esns to other carriers. Mostly half the people on flashed phones have bad esn phones.

You need a donor phone with a good esn to clone to the bad phone.

We don't talk about illegal activity here. I can tell you that you need a donor phone with a good esn, that's it. Google is your friend, it's not that hard. Don't try youtube for this, obviously you wont find videos there on how to do illegal things.

i would like to know as well, having a nice phone on verizon prepaid for unlimited talk and data for $50 would be the cool. i would switch from my 0g 4g metropcs $25 mo. unlimited 1x in a flash. get it,flash
i wondered about this a while back when i first seen verizon had unlimited prepaid, i called everyone to get the details and low and behold verizon prepaid xustomers service said you can only use the ones they allow you too use and they are non android phones. lol figures they want the prepaid people from otjer carriers to switch and at the aame time not lose any of their own android paying cuatomers. paying like $125 or more/mo.

Hey if anybody knows please tell me how to get the HA and AAA passwords from the Pantech Caper without the newest CDMA Workshop PM Me

Sorry guys i just edited it i meant without the newest cdma workshop PAID. I only have the cdma workshop 2.7.0 cracked

Best place to ask those questions is in Howard's forums thats the place to be at.
Sent from my mark of the Beast

What he said there is a guide in the page plus fourmunder handset technical page 14 will get you 3g if follow that guide

Thanx you guys that will help with the data but all i need to know is can i u QXDM to get the HA and AAA shared Passwords from the Pantech Caper

Ran into an issue with the Caper. I would appreciate 64-bit drivers for windows 7 on the caper i already tried the Verizon access manger way. Or do i need to downgrade to 32-bit?

I wouldn't think the caper is a 3g phone, I flashed mine using a LG revere and got the keys by using a fascinate.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium

Lol even that way I'm stuck at 1x so I gave up and used the fascinate with the 50$ plan its so much easier but if u pm me on how u are getting it working I would greatly appreciate it
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium

Do any NVItems need to copied from the Caper for it to work. Does anybody have the full guide?

Donor phones to flash evo 4g to BM

Hi guys, I'm about to cancel my Sprint account and root the evo to boost, the incognito/rant are no longer on sale except on eBay. Which of the newer cheapest phone from Boost I can use as a donor???? I am afraid to get a used one from eBay thinking it might not work. Thanks in advance.

I've gotten mine, always used incognito, from craigslist. Doesn't matter what condition the phone is in as long as it powers up and can connect the usb port. I've done it with the Evo and the E3D. I want to try one of the Galaxy phones next but haven't gotten my hands on one. Good luck.

I've done two now with the incognito and their both working fine.
Technically you could use any 3g phone, it just may be harder to get all the info you need since most of the directions are for those 2...
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

Thanks guys, so I won't matter if the incognito has been used as a donor before?? does it has to be an incognito from Boost or any other carries who might have sold it.:good:

It has to be from boost. And it can ONLY be used as a donor once at a time.
Meaning, say a buddy uses it to flash his evo. If he's still using it, you can't.
So if your buying one, make sure its a clean esn and activatible.

Thanks to all, I think I'm ready now. I did search CL and found a couple near where I am, just need to make sure they're ok. Thanks again

Just change the phone number on the Incognito it will assign new HA/AAA information.

But that doesn't matter. When you clone the info to a new phone, its always going to use the same unique numbers. The HA/AAA are only the passwords needed to access the information.
The esn/meid are unique and only 1 phone has those numbers. Its like a network mac address.
So no, you still can only use a phone once at a time. Otherwise, I could sell just the numbers off my phone all day long.

I'm not talking about multiple people using the same information.
I'm talking about generating new HA/AAA information so at least he would know there's no way for some else to have it like the guy he bought it from.
By activating the phone you know if its in use or not.
He wouldn't be able to even activate the phone if someone is even using the MEID or ESN.

Can't you just call boost with your evo's ESN and they'll put it on their network? No need for a donor if so.

Some people claim they have but their official policy is against it, most have said they've been denied and I haven't even tried.
They can tell what ESN is coming from where Boost and Sprint ESNs are not considered the same in their systems.

To my understanding after reading a few blogs is that you can't do that, it will seem doable because is basically the same network(Sprint) but aparently is not possible therefore the need to flash.

Update
Just to update there are some other phones that can be use see this.
I was able to get a brand new incognito from a Sprint Store in VA, I spoke to one of the managers and they're getting rid off all the old boost mobile phones, I got mine for less than $30 they can even go lower If you buy in bulk, I thought about buying them(they had about 20) and reselling them on CL but didn't do it(not enough cash).
Anyway I completed the flash and now I am using my 4G Evo with boost, I am down to $25/month, I got the Pay as you go plan $.50/day unlimited web + $0.20/minute call. Works great for me since I don't use the phone to make calls, mostly text and web. Running ICS ROM of course with no 4G, I was paying about $93/month with Sprint.
