I purchased to EVO 4G LTE for myself and want to give my EVO 4G to my daughter. Will need to take it into Sprint and have them port her existing number over.
Can anyone tell me if they will do this on a rooted device?
Or should I install a base ROM and unroot before I take it into Sprint.
Rooted and running Derp3D v1.1.
Any advice is appreciated.
you could do it tru their website its called esn change
From my powered Shooter.
Just call them takes 10 mins and they don't have to see anything. Just make sure they have you change the number and voicemail number in the phone or she will have problems.. its ## something but they will know ..

Like the others said, call or do online. You must preserve Derp3D

Hey, I'm thinking about getting a Droid Incredible. I know it's gonna be a lot of work but how should I go about unlocking it to work on sprint. That's assuming sprint will accept the phone and let me activate it..
I've heard of it being used on Cricket, never Sprint. Not sure man, good luck though.
thanks, I'm probably going to need it. Better start looking into cricket lol
Or metro pcs, the only way to get sprint to work is if you have someone on the inside that can activate phones

hmm. Too bad I'm too young to work for them, maybe I can go there on an internship and make some friends
Can you just change the esn to a sprint esn? And then change 68992737495 settings and yay?

So I'm buying an Epic 4G Touch from someone who flashed it to Cricket. They had Sprint then flashed to cricket for some reason and then went to Verizon. Would I just have to ODIN the most recent version on to have it back on Sprint or what needs to be done?

i have no clue what ur talking about man lol. flashing carriers? lol. all i know is that cricket runs on sprints network. its a prepay phone network i think, but i have not a clue about flashing carriers lol
I have flashed my E4GT in the other direction, from Sprint to Cricket. You need some information that I don't know how to find, and then you need a program called QPST to apply that information.
Here is a link to the tutorial I used to do the flashing. I don't have any idea how to do the reverse; apologies.
Hope this gets you on the right track.
Download the latest version of CDMA workshop and flash a Sprint PRL. Google is your friend
Has anybody ever flashed there epic 4g touch to boost mobile or cellcom or straight talk?
If so is it worth it and how?

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

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.

both my donor phone and the epic 4g touch that i have wont respond to cdma workshop. i dont know whats wrong, but i cannot not get them connected to any port. its asks me for port number but when i go to device manager it doesnt show up, i was wondering if you can help me out since you had some success already flashing your phone.

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.
....
i wanted people To see it work but there is still more to the puzzle like data I'm sure this was not the only way to write a prl to the phone and can't wait to get my hands on another one as the one I had was a customers dat had took it to 3 cricket store already and was giving the run around about how its impossible to flash it took all of a hour to get it talk and text flash with a little more time I'm sure I could have got data
Could one potentially use part of this to safely change their PRL only? i.e. putting a corporate PRL on the phone?
EDIT: It seems to have worked.
Yes You can use this To put any prl You want even tho u rename it test it still Will show the verison in about

Whoa, what happened to your original post?
So even though this is a 4g lte phone, it is able to be flashed to metropcs? Currently i have the evo 3d flashed to metro and I wanted to get the galaxy nexus. But I wasn't sure if the sprint version could be flashed or not.

If i was to buy a sprint galaxy nexus and go to any metropcs, they would be able to flash it and get talk and text with their program of houdini? or you have to use a different program in order to flash it?
As of right now no houdini Will not work You can check there website tho

Metro PC's is a joke
You are better off looking on Craigslist find someone who has a store (preferably)
Why?
Because even in the event they do do it you will probably only get talk and text.Usually no mms or web
An independent retailer will most likely get the job done better.

How would you get the ESN into MetroPCS's inventory if there's NO MORE Houdini and being that it's a ESN beginning with 99XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX?
PM if needed! Thanks!

No one can flash this at all. Is there/Will there be software? So that it can be flashed to cricket. This is what I wanted. Now I guess I will put the phone on craigslist. Any insight.
What about another phone similar like nexus s
I have been kicking myself for a week now trying to get a Nexus on cricket and I have been getting nowhere. Its their international phone and it works when I put a sim card in it from AT&T and T-Mobile but no such luck with Cricket.
Sorry about the hi jack. But the site video said if I can't find the exact answer that I'm looking for I should find one close to it and post it in there.
The phone is mod GT: i9020T Google Nexus S
Thanks in advance.
You can only flash a CDMA phone to Cricket or MetroPCS the i9050T is a GSM phone.. if it uses a sim card it wont work...
Quick question.. Is it possible to switch numbers that are on the same family plan? My dad Is letting me use his upgrade to get the S3 and I'll give him my S2 but we want to keep our current numbers. Do you think sprint will switch our numbers?
yes its called an esn swap. Tell the rep.

This can be done online from one of the options on Mysprint.
Yea, when my daughter broke her phone I was able to stick her number on my old Moment till she got a new one... np
