How to get phone on cricket - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed my phone using this guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjc6TwOMwbw&noredirect=1
But it still doesnt work. To tell you everything the plan was an older phone, then we decided to upgrade with this phone, its my gf plan but i remember on sprint you need some esn to use the phone. Im having a really big brain fart atm. What do i need to ask from cricket to get this phone working?

Is the E4GT unlockable for Verizon?

Would much rather keep my E4GT than get a Galaxy Nexus. Can I use it on VZ?
No you can not. Verizon does not allow sprint phones on their network.

Thanks. Google wasn't doing much for me this morning.
Hold on,old epic could be flashed to verizon I dont see why you cant flash epic touch.
They are both cdma phones and will work on verizon minus 4g.

If you have friends in high places they can get esn added but doesn't happen often..... Otherwise it's illegal options with changing esn from one phone to another ..... In my opinion it's not worth it sell e4gt buy another phone so much easier

Changing ESN is illegal?
What about cloning esn from a donor phone to flash epic to virgin mobile,boost and cricket.
You trying to.say that those methods in them threads are not legal?

Technically yea they are not legal if you are doing It and paying for service not so bad but yea they frown upon it because it can be done to steal service
Cricket does not involve changing Esn ....boost and virgin and others do because you can't use phones that they don't sell and are usually low range Android....you can't call up virgin and have them activate a topic touch but you can go to cricket and they will flash it

Does it got good servise....how much did it cost you to flash over?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yea service is great depending on where u are u get fast 3g. But it didn't cost me nothing I just got a boost incognito make sure esn is clean and any et4g bad esn or good it doesn't matter. But to flash it its free if you follow the guide I'll look for it and post you the link
Here you go

Sweet thanks bro.....I just moved to shawano wi. And the sprint servise sucks.
So I figured I'd flash to different carrier,but I have to see what boost coverage is here before I flash lol.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yea that's true check how sprint is over there since boost uses sprint towers.
And good luck if u need any help pm me and I'll try 2 help u as best as I can. Because after I flashed the phone I got error 16. Also its recommended u use the incognito.

If you dont get good sprint service chances are you will get even worse service with boost. Boost mobile is a sprint company and runs off sprint towers and has no roaming.

hey there i need help flashing my samgsung galaxy to boost i followed the video and the post but when i get to the drivers for the samsung it wont install i have a sph-d710 and the download is for a sph-d700 and i tryed to get the drivers for mines but it wont show up in my ports but everything else is all right
Hoping I can get some help! I have a Sprint S2 on Boost for my pop. had someone flash it for me. worked perfectly. now i have no data. I am 99% sure I know what is wrong but don't know the KEYS to fix it.
OK from the top. everything worked. but a few hours later voicemail went poof. dial into vmail says invalid number. Grrr nothing I do seems to make it reset then I remember that changing ESN resets voice mail.
SO I activate a boost android phone. it activates fine but no data. it did not "activate" right (boosts end I assume) anyway the automated support provides instructions if you get no data as a last resort kind of thing if you tried everything else.
it has me punch in a ##xxxxxx# string and the phone reboots and intiates activation and data comes on! yeah.
Voicemail is now working again as well.
OK so I swap ESN back to the flashed S2
voicemail properly resets. its working now. calls and text are working but no data now.
I think I know what I need to do. I need to do some similar ##xxxxxx# thing (no its not ##MSL# tried that already) to get it to reset the data connection like I did on the other phone.
BUT .... HOW do I do it? what is the ## code I need to do this on the S2? I can't use automated help since that system "THINKS" I have a different phone so the instructions are wrong (sanyo 3810)
so what I need is the ## code or whatever the procedure is to force the phone to reset its data connection and get 3G back.

Tmobile 3g plan

I had a hd2, but I bought my friends tmo samsung galaxy s2. At the moment I can only access the internet through wifi, when I try to go online with just the phone with my plan it comes up.. your data plan does not support this device. Anyway I can get around that and still be able to use my 3g data with this phone or do I have to actually update my plan to 4g for this phone in order to get data again?
Have you tried going into advanced settings and turning off 4g? The settings would be accessible from the phone dial pad with a particular code.... Something like *#0011# I can't remember the exact code but if you poke around for it I'm sure it's been posted before.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
edit. Just thought about it for another second... You would probably have to tell the phone to use edge only. Not sure it would work, but I am sure it would suck. I would look for it in the settings, but if my girl woke up and I was rummaging through her phone I might look like a creep.
Hmm you must be on the old grandfather data plan. TMobile blocks any of their 4g devices from utilizing it. If you want to continue using your old data plan you would need the telus version i think. I know this is true with the sensation and amaze, possibly other phones too...basically any non TMobile branded phone.

In the united states, last I've read, is that they just fine you a hefty fine. And I think getting banned from whichever carrier you were using. It's not like you go to jail. Unless something gas changed.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
I would try the different apn people use to get around throttling; in the Hd2 days, data was 3 different packages: smartphone (windows devices), G1 (which would eventually become Android), and BlackBerry; if you mismatched them, your data would be touch and go at best.
Back then it was an easy fix; to do so now, you'd have to have them change your plan to the new ones WHICH WILL EXTEND YOUR CONTRACT LENGTH but will not affect your upgrade eligibility.
The hd2 is still such an amazing phone.

[Q] Boost Native S3 - flash to Pageplus - help...

Hello to all.
I attempted to flash a Boost mobile native galaxy s3 running 4.1.2 to Pageplus last night. Got voice and text working fine, however, cannot get data up and running, even 1x.
Loaded Pageplus Prl, and tried to *228 to no avail. Also tried manually change the settings in the paid version of cdmaws, under the 'evdo' section.
The S3 thread was closed, so I thought I would post here, and see if anyone could point me in the right direction? If this is the wrong section, please advise, and I will be happy to post there.
I also read that there is a way to obtain 3g without using a donor, and I thought it may be similiar to sprint to boost flashing using wifi, but that did not work either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Be well.
Anyone???

the reason nobody is really willing to help is because its a drawn out process ive been flashing phones to pageplus and verizon for years and what happens is after its flashed if you dont pay your bill in a timely manner your data will stop working. and guess what the LAST PERSON TO WORK ON IT IS now MaRrIed to that dam phone meaning that all subsequent issues get blamed on the last person that touched it. i wont even do it for free anymore due to [a holes] acting/feeling entitled

I tried flashing my daughter's S2 (sprint native) to straight talk, as I forgot to check the esn prior to buying a network access card. And wouldn't you know, it was a bad esn with sprint.
So, if anyone can help me out today, or tonight. Please let me know.

Sprint Note 2 flash to Cricket
Quick question for any of you currently on Cricket with a Note 2...did you guys just take your phone to Cricket and have them flash it and then begin your service with Cricket or did you do a CDMA flash yourself and then get Cricket service for your phone? Seriously considering going to Cricket (tired of being ROBBED by Sprint), currently have 2 lines that would need to be moved over to Cricket. Thanks in advance for any responses.
And thank you mancuso for a phenomenal ROM experience. I have been running your S5 port with absolutely no issues with any version I have flashed (all clean flashes of course)...thanks again!

I flash my phones myself since all the software you need is free. I was already a cricket customer when I flashed my first sprint phone to cricket (evo 4g). I took the evo to cricket and they activated the esn and gave me the rest of the info I needed to finish the flash. Later I got an evo 3d and cloned it so I could avoid paying cricket to add a new esn. When I got my note 2 I again cloned it. Cricket still thinks I am using the old evo 4g.
Now if you are thinking about going the cricket route things will be a little different very soon. Cricket has become a part of AIO (an att prepay service). Some time next year all cdma service will end and be strictly gsm.
