Sounds like you need to put back the correct NV items using qpst, but I wouldn't tell you how to, as I haven't had to use it before.

Yes the phone dont work if you want to make a call the phone shutdown
How i cant fix a bad esn ???

Please use Google translator to translate from your native language to English, no offense but I got a headache trying to decipher what you said and like everyone else all I could make out was your phone doesn't work and your carrier couldn't help, which is obviously because they dont carry the device, my suggestion would be find someone who can flash the phone to your carrier for you or buy a phone that belongs on your carriers network and follow an online guide to donate the phones info to the evo to get it working

You can't "fix" a bad esn. You have to have the original owner settle up their debt with sprint, or if the phone was lost of stolen there is nothing you can do.

Listen ass, don't call me a ****er. There are a lot of people that steal phones from others and then come here to get help to unlock it for themselves. Those are the ****ers, and you're probably one of them.

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.

Wasn't being a smartass either. You stated that the video was of the epic 4g, and the op clearly stated that it was pieced together.
Just working with what you put out there.
Anyway, not starting a flaming session, what did you find out?

How long ago did you get the phone...
Call your carrier and tell them that the phone is defective and it was overheating and doesn't even boot up. See what they tell you cuz' they may give you a discounted phone or a brand new... who knows!
If you have been a good customer and tell a good story they may give you a new one!

I'm glad you got one through the warranty dude. Many people don't have that option and just have to buy another phone or continue to try to resolve it. Your curiosity to see if there is anything else that can be done can annoy some people but this is how everyone learns. Props to you my man, glad you got a replacement.
Can you try something for me? Before you do anything to your phone in the dial pad put in ##rtn# see if it's a refurb and share with us bruh.

Phone won't turn on after installing WanamLite | Help

Hey guys, I'm new to the boards and to Android. I was a very longtime user of iPhone and iOS until recently I returned my iPhone 5 for a Note II.
I apologize before hand if I'm coming off as a noob--thats cause I am--but I've ran into a problem.
Late last night I backed up my stock rom and installed [XXDLJ2 4.1.2][V2.0] WanamLite | Aroma. Everything went fine, the phone was working fine and after a while, I knocked out.
This morning the phone wasn't on so I figured it was dead. I immediately left it charging for a couple of hours and when I returned, the phone was still dead, no sign of life.
I'm starting to panic and I'm really hoping someone can help me.
I truly apologize for the noobing and if this thread isn't posted where it supposed to be, please accept my apologies..
thank you in advance.

Is it even booting to a splash screen (Samsung logo)? If it is, you can force it into download mode and Odin back to stock. There are tutorials on how to do so out there.
If it doesnt turn on at all, or if it just vibrates with a dark screen, you probably have a hard brick and may want to try warrantying it out. I've never had a softbrick that wouldn't power on, and I'd be wary of your Craigslist guy if he says a phone that shows no signs of life is a soft brick...

If I'm not mistaken, it's Clean ROM. The only issue I have is that my cell network is gone. I called and went to a retail AT&T and they couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Luckily, he's cool and we've been in contact, should be fixed by tomorrow-- Unless you guys have any suggestion in what it might be and how it can be fixed. If not, I'll see him as soon as possible.

Would you be able to walk me through this? I'm savvy when it comes to this but I am new to Android.
Your help will be appreciated.
also check to see if you have an IMEI number as well. CleanROM is an att ROM with all the correct data APNs (AccessPointNames), e.g., made from the ATT Stock ROM, so you should be able to connect. on the otherhand, if you don't have an IMEI number you'll need to fix that before you can move forward.

Ya can check and change yur apn settings by going to settings-wireless and networks-mobile networks-access point names. Ya should have an att apn if not hit the menu button and add new apn.

I'm assuming that I have an IMEI only cause the AT&T rep looked at it when I went to the store. Anyhow, it doesn't hurt to double check. Thank you for your quick responses.

There are proper settings found in the rom threads. Then save it. Ya can check you imei status in the about device-status menu

So I tried this and it tells me "Insert SIM card to access netword services." I certainly have a SIM card and its a new one. Any suggestions?
As said above, waste of $50 for sure. A little patience/reading/searching would have allowed you to do this yourself.. free.

Check your apn settings or reflash the proper modem for your device

That's what I was thinking as well; the modem might have been lost or corrupted. Easy fix.
OP, if you can get yourself into download mode, you're up against a soft brick. Once you're in download mode, fixing the phone is easy for almost any level of experience. Do some reading here, skim through ROM threads and read the stickies inside-out. There's nothing that guy did that a few hours of research and a little coaching can't help you do yourself.

[Q] EDGE not working, phone says radio unknown. Please help if you can :(

Hi!
I really new to the scene and I have searched a lot trying to figuring this out but not luck so far
I flashed Jelly Beans 16 to my t889 almost a week ago, after reading that it was compatible with my tmobile GN2 even though is for verizon, everything works great but I can't get the mobile data to work correctly. push notifications wont work, apps that requiere internet wont work... Edge icon says I’m connected, APN settings are correct, the only thing that works is whats-app while on mobile data, or opening a web page in the browser (but it takes ages and I will get connection errors most of the time), so somehow its receiving data.
After much reading, found and app that displays mobile connection info and indeed it says I'm connected and how much data has been downloaded/uploaded already... it also says the radio is unknown!!!!! (please see the attached images)
How can I fix this??? any help will and is totally appreciated
my guest is flash a radio that is compatible with this rom but I can't find any info in how to just do that. I already flashed the T889UVBMB4 modem and it stills says radio/serial unknown/(some numbers) so I assume that the modem and radio are a different thing... are they?
Can anyone can point me in the right direction???
Thanks a zillion!

Don't believe everything you read. Flash your backup.

You will need to flash something that works. Wipe everything. Move it to your phone from your PC. Always make a backup.

Before you visit the phone company, what exact method are you using to restore?
thanks for taking a look!
what I did was boot in recovery mode, installed modem for my baseband. using cwm. wiped all data, cache, davlnk. installed new rom, which is compatible with my phone without a radio using cwm,. rebooted normally. probken persist.

Give Odin a try, the toolkit in the original development thread will walk you through it

Thank you all for all your help! I'm a newbie and using odin really scares me up! I have read of cases that people would corrupt their imei and I dont really want to end being one of those!
I went to the phone company today and no one could even give me a logical explanation to what was going on with the phone!
I can use whatsapp, navigate slow as hell, but push notications wont work no matter whaT!! I don't think anymore that my problem is the rom as I flashed stock and same thing NADA!
But the think that got me really frustasted was the "phone expert" at the company after taking the phone in his hands for a minute, came up with all his wisdom: "everyrhing is ok you can navigate; but wont receive push notifications"
I already know that you!!!! You!! Mot_#\×£ €=€÷£@( ... ...
Long story short, I took the phone to the competition and asked if my phone would work in their network, they charge more but are faster! the guy kindly put a micro sim and pum!!! 3g Internet on my phone to try!!! I couldn't check notificatios but waze was working and that alone sold me out!! Im changing company tomorrow if God allows me!

Odin is the reason I will never leave Samsung again. It's so easy to fix a brick if you mess up.

Thank you! Honestly I read a post here that advised against using Odin... as I newbie I take advises really seriously until I have the knowledge to make educated choices , I will make a backup of my phone using cwm and then flash stock with odin just to see if I can get the edge signal to work without any glitches, if not... I will reload the backup and go back to the rom Im using (which I luv)and change phone company!
wish me luck!!!!

If you go in about phone, status, does your IMEI match the one on the sticker under your battery?
Check the baseband listed there as well, is it a Verizon or a T-Mobile one?
Verizon has some HSPA support for roaming, but I'm not aware of them having AWS enabled.
