Quick question. I have a evo 4g on boost mobile. Everything works and its also rooted. This was how i purchased the phone. If i decide to flash a custom rom, is it going to bump my current boost settings back to sprint? Or is that only if i update the PRL or the radio? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am not sure, but you can always nandroid the rom ( make a backup) and then restore , but a new rom does not change PRL or RADIO
I actually already did the backup. But that was the answer i was looking for. As long as those arent touched i should be okay.

To be on the safe side, get APN Backup and Restore, it is free from the market. This will save your APN (access point network), just in case there are any config parameters (like proxy settings) that are needed in boost. The poster above was right though, flashing the device with a new rom will not change your Radio, your PRL, or any of your PST programming parameters.
Good luck.
did u ever try flashing a custom rom? if so what happen?

You can flash a custom rom to your EVO, it wont change any of the parameters already in the phone. On the other hand, if you are able to "update profile" from your EVO there is a slight chance that it will affect that. SLIGHT chance. I have flashed Fresh EVO and Sprint Lovers without a problem the only issue I'm having is not being able to update profile even with Stock rom 2.2. I keep getting error "1012". Aside from that everything works great. Like everyone has said, always make a backup, you can never be to careful.
Cheers and happy flashing.

Sorry guys totally forgot about this thread! I'm on my second EVO and I've flashed SENSE and ASOP roms and have updated everything from the RADIO to the NV, PRI and such. Nothing gets changed with SENSE roms, however being that ASOP roms don't have a EPST, MMS is a hit or miss. Most of the time miss.
A fix for this is to flash a ASOP rom, nandroid backup, flash a SENSE rom and configure EPST and restore the ASOP backup.

Im also getting boost on my evo but what should i configure my EPST to to make sure mms still works?
It will work, just you will have to reset your mms. Dail ##DATA# and hit edit.

bought a used EVO on Ebay which has been flashed to boost and activated for me by the seller. Everything went perfect I rooted and flashed cyanogenmod as soon as I got home from the Post Office, lol. I would also like to mention that calling with/without google voice works perfect using the native android google voice app. The only thing I am still struggling with is conditional call forwarding and using Google Voice voicemail as the service for when people call my actual cell number. It still works as the voicemail provider when they call my google voice number. Overall I am very happy with Boost and the EVO. $50 unlimited with shrinkage is awesome. And when they say $50 they mean $50. As in 50 dollars and zer0 cents, thats right, no TAX!!!
Bostmobile Rom
Cyanogen 7 (nighties) works like a charm on boost for the EVO.
I wanted to use a Rooted Stock Rom for a change, I've been using Cyanogen 7 nighties for about 8 months with lil to non issues.....GPS locks for navigation, mms works, everything works just fine...I just want to try something new...like the new stock, it looks nice...love the clock/weather gatget...I want to try it out, but I lash the latest Rooted Stock Rom it messes up my mms and I cant get the ##3282# to change the MMS URL. Whats up with that? did the dialer code for DATA change in 2.3.5? or am I doing something wrong?

Using Cyanogen is a bit tricky since it doesn't support those codes. I've heard you had to backup the rom you were using, flash the new rom and recover the backup. That wouldn't over write anything, but would put back your settings you used in the previous rom.
How do I backup all of my flashed Boost mobile settings?
You folks seem to be a very knowledgable crowd, perhaps you can help me with this.
I just purchased an Evo 3d and had it flashed over to boost at my local boost store. Upon picking it up from them he went over a few things, most of which made perfect sense like not updating certain things because it will set me back to sprint but the one thing that did not is he said no hard resets. Problem being most if not every custom rom either automatically or advise you to do a factory reset from custom recovery. How am I supposed to flash my precious cyanogenmod with that hanging over my head lol? So I've been trying to learn how to flash using cdma workshop and qpst so that I can copy/backup all of the already flashed Boost info so that if things go wrong Im good. Also I hear some of the non-SENS based roms require little workarounds to keep data and mms going which also would probably require a copy of the Boost flash info. Things like the AAA shared secret and HA secret etc.
Any insight to this problem would be most appreciated!

About 2 weeks ago my phone stopped receiving SMS on the reg. They are ranging anywhere between 20 min to 2 hours to receive. There is no delay when I send to people, just on the receive. I've flashed back to sense and did a PRL and Profile update then restored CM 7.1. Sprint just says it's due to high usage due to the weather...not buying it. Weirdest thing about it being my wife's phone has the same issue and it developed at the exact same time. Running cm7.1, clockwork and savagedzen 2.2.1 BFS HAVS on both. I've also tried flashing to tiamat 4.0.7-799 w/sbc and same issue. Up to any suggestions
Is the wife using an EVO? Try a different ROM combo for a few days and see if this helps. How about CM7-RC1 after a full wipe?
You'll find the sweet spot
Grab the app Gingerbread SMS Ghostly, has grabbed quite a few lost texts for me.
https://market.android.com/details?id=it.sineo.android.GhostSMS&feature=search_result
Tried ghostly. Didn't work. The messages seem to come through if I place a call. I've resorted to calling my voicemail to check my text lately. I'm using 7.1 rc1. I did flash sprint lovers rom and sent myself a text with no luck either. Are there any network settings with sense based rom that can be checked/modified?
Sent from my Evo using XDA App
You will probably have to call sprint and be cranky, as its most likely a network issue.
They've reset my data a few times now and claim they've done all they can. I had the call escalated the last time and nothing really came of it. Seems like when I call them with the issue the text come through within 2 minutes. They claim anywhere up to 30 min is considered not an issue. Its BS. Since cellphone met text it's been near instant. My crappy Nokia block phone did just fine. I could understand if there was a national emergency but there is no reason for any lag. Ill call them again tomorrow. My wife sent me a message at 753pm and it is currently 10, No message

Did u change/update PRLs around the same time this started happening? Sprint changed a bunch of PRLs recently and now some people get terrible data. PRLs are mostly location based. So due to contracts with other carriers, your phone may be connecting to different towers and data is routed differently. Try a different prl for the hell of it
Sent from my HTC_supersonic using xda premium
no, hadnt made any changes to the phone. played around with a few prls and radios and no luck still. so far sprint has managed to give me $50 credit but no working phone.
I don't really know then man. Hmm. Try a data profile reset from the epst menu. ##3282# enter your msl, hit edit go to data profile and hit menu and then restore.
The phone will reboot itself and renew its data profile connection and prl etc all in one shot. Aside from that, I would think its a network type issue. Especially since its both of your phones.

Well...basically did that with my phone while on the phone with sprint last night. sat on the phone for 76 min (40 of that being on hold). I was using her phone to make the call. Got disconnected after all was said and done. Tried to call sprint back via 611 and automated message told me my account could not be authenticated or something to that nature. Long story short had to rerun activation using EPST reset. Her phone now works. Flashed it back to CM7.1 rc1 and hers is working correctly. Going to try to flash back to sense today on my phone and let it work its way through the reprogramming and I'll place a call or 2 from sense and wait a few before flashing back to CM. Thats the last thing i can really think to do.
On another note, I have found a temporary work-around on my issue for my phone. Google Voice has an option to intercept text messages. I turned that on and google voice gets them instantly. Only thing annoying is I dont have an SMS count anymore. ADW notifier will show a "?" on the icon for google voice. I guess that notification marker will do for now. Other than that, its a tolerable solution til i find the real one.
Sorry homey, I know it can be frustrating. But yeah try again with sense and see what happens. Best of luck.

I signed up for Boost Mobile today. I was with Sprint and have the Samsung Epic 4G. I went with the Samsung Factor for Boost Mobile.
Apparently the Samsung Factor cannot be hooked up to a computer. A Samsung USB cable will not work. I can add the phone via Bluetooth, but I cannot access it.
Is there an easy way to get the info off the Factor and edit my Epic so I can use the Epic on Boost Mobile? It would be awesome if all that was involved was simply changing the MEIDs.
[Q] Setting Up For Boost Mobile With Sanyo Incognito Donor Phone
Well there is no way to hook up the Samsung Factor to a PC and do the things needed to get the information. So I traded in the Samsung Factor for a Sanyo Incognito.
Now the problem is the drivers for the Sanyo Incognito. Apparently, there are none for Windows 7 64-bit.
Well your in a better boat... have you tried using generic sanyo mobile drivers? Got to be something for windows 7... is all else fails use someone elses comp... least this phone will hook up so your a step closer

I was able to borrow a laptop with XP on it to do the work. I followed the directions here and I also tried the "undergroundcentral" videos on YouTube.
I had 3G working and was able to use data, but I could not make or receive calls.
One time, I was able to make and receive calls but lost data.
As of right now, I don't have data or voice.
My Epic did an OTA update to Gingerbread.

Your guide got my 3G data working so a bog THANK YOU! I still cannot receive or make voice calls though. Whenever I dial a number, I get a recording, "Your authentication code could not be verified." Then it goes to Spanish than back to English, "Message 16 Switch 367." When I dial 611, it is definitely Boost Mobile.
EDIT: IT WORKS! I just dialed 611, let the message play, and was connected with Boost's Customer Service and they saw I was having a problem and fixed it. Now I have to get voicemail and MMS sat up, but that should be easy (I hope).
So far so good being on Boost Mobile with the Samsung Epic 4G. There is only one thing I don't like, I miss that voicemail option Sprint has that saves the messages to your phone and you can later review them in any order and save important ones.
I guess I'll have to live with the replacement Voicemail Notifier program which is nice to have.
I think YouMail.com will take care of the voicemail issue.
I do have one problem left. I cannot update Firmware, Profile, or PRL in System Updates. I keep getting "Error: Client Authentication Error". Might anyone have a fix for that?
If you are on gingerbread then your firmware is up to date and can't be updated. As for your prl and profile sounds like something might be set up wrong
This Epic is Legendary!
Wish I could figure out what that was.
Did anyone figure out how to get the Samsung factor in diag mode

Hey everyone,
Used the guide about 3 months ago to root/debrand/etc my G2 from T-Mobile, flashed CM7 (not sure the version - was a while ago).
Anywho, wife broke her iPhone so I brought her over to the green side by setting her up on the rooted G2. Her carrier is ATT. At first everything worked except voicemail, but a call to ATT fixed that by changing some iPhone settings.
The problem that she's had the past few weeks is that about 30% of her incoming calls ring twice, and give a busy tone. It is not fully random, it is always the same phone numbers that do not go through (mine being one of them). The other calls go through no problem.
I have not flashed any radios to the phone, and to my knowledge she has not changed any type of settings or blacklisted me & others. Thanks for your help, its annoying to have to text "call me" as the only way through.
Sorry to bump, just wondering if anyone has any ideas on this one?
Thanks in advance
only thing i can think of is the number has somehow been blacklisted, are you 100% sure numbers havent been accidently blacklisted on your or her phone? if it only happens with certain numbers then it has to be a blocking issue
Sent from a htc desire z
I'll double check when home from work. It wouldn't be a radio issue? If it comes down to it, do you think a wipe and install of latest CM will fix it?
very much doubt it is rom/radio related as it only happens with certain numbers, if after checking that nothing has been blacklisted then you could try a full wipe reinstall, doubt a cache wipe would help, i am fairly certain that some numbers have been accidently blacklisted though
Sent from a htc desire z
Att might have messed up somthing. What did they change to get voicemail working? I would recomend using googlevoice if your not already. Also check too see if you have any numbers forwarded to the old voicemail. Your wife may have had custom settings for a few people? I've never owned an iphone so im not sure of the options. All forwarded calls get handled by att so changing roms wont fix it. However your phone can add/change blocklists and forward numbers. Good luck!

You guys are good! Just got a hold of her and she gave a big "oooops!" when she saw me and her mom were blacklisted. Actually, seeing as how it was just us 2 I bet it was purposeful ;P
As far as att and iphone goes, they have special backend services to handle iphone voicemails etc. She's still on the iphone data as its cheaper but on a regular voicemail setup. She's limited to 2g speeds but I heard that's due to the bandwidth used by att and on the G2?

I installed the OP's file on my Boost E4GT, installed without issue. Received the provisioned text, but the vvm doesn't seem to be working for me either. Thoughts?
Boost said the evo design is the only phone thats gonna have visual voice mail right now... Im gonna buy a evo design and use it as my donor and see what happens.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
I doubt it's dependent on the donor phone. My guess would be the actual phone.apk. The way Boost handles voicemail notifications I'd different from sprint. I'm guessing if a patched phone.apk was used in conjunction to this, it would work. I'm on ICS now or i would try one of the patched phone files floating around here.

I have a patched phone apk on a thread I started, gotannp3 patched it and I have been working on patching others, the patch currently works only on el29 base roms, I was on blue cuben ics, but flashed back to do some more testing.. So does some one have the boost vtt from the design I will take a look at it, I currently get native voicemail so I want to see if the patch works in combination with the vtt, might have to edit some smali code a little.. Is that the correct apk in the OP, can someone confirm....

MMS Checked

Native Voicemail Checked
VVM unchecked
I didn't do any of this, so at this moment I'll like to thank all the great Dev's here on XDA for their hard work and guidance because of you people like me have their phones flashed to Boost Mobile. I know and believe some one out there will get the finally piece working. Thanks in advances
Anyone have any luck?
I have a sprint e4gt that i have flashed to boost and installed the stock boost rom from the gal s2 bit im still not receiving any voicemail notifications or visual voicemail.
I was under the impression that voicemail notifications were handled by phone.apk but being that im using the boost apk im not sure why its not working.
The only thing i can think is.. When playing with earlier vvm apks i installed a sprint one. Perhaps using a sprint apk will sign you up on sprints vvm and break it at the account lvl?
Not sure what to try next. Anyone have any input?
