Ok I just got my EVO working on Sprint....again.
I got my evo and how happy I was to get it working, I was happy when it worked with 3g internet - the sleepless night and whole day paid off. But I was not content, so I tried to root it. I did and without slowing down I put Fresh 3.2 rom on it.
booom! no 3g no internet lots of frustration. i tried every possible rom I could get on it but no success. finally I got the WWE SPRINT rom from from shipped-roms flashed it - btw you have to get into bootloader, hold down vol down and then fastboot-> bootloader->then start RUU.
SO now I'm with Sprint soft, and after reseting in ##786# and phone reactivated and then I tried update profile-> it went on forever until it failed with 1012. I was getting ready to call Sprint CS, but went it to ##3282# just to check - and wow - suddenly 3g appears. Dont know why, it is magic but I am happy.
If anybody has some insights on what happened to me and more importantly why ? I would really like to know more about how root / custom rom makes evo not connect to internet, perhaps some one with insight knowledge of Sprint CS / and provisioning and how vision passwords work could chime in?
First off you want to make sure you post this in the Q&A forum. Next off I'm assuming since this EVO was a bad ESN and you got it working on a SERO you cloned another ESN. If that's the case I'm not thinking you're going to get much help here, and I wouldn't post that in a public forum. If not you need to give more information on how you got a Bad EVO esn activated on a SERO plan which doesn't take EVO's yet.
Hey, I edited my post. Sorry for the typos. If I;m in a wrong forum - Mods- please move, its my first post - so I apologize.
Can someone help make a HTC Incredible ROM for the Sprint network. I have a Incredible working on sprint and would like the ability to update the Profile info to fix my data issues ... also so it has the right PRL file and other items.
Any help would be nice
Thank You
Would love to know as my friend is looking into getting a used android to pit on boost, would be interested to see if he could use my Inc when I upgrade.
I'm no expert. I thought sprint used GSM, this WIKI shows they are the same Radio Technology(CDMA). I know Evo radio firmwares works with the DINC. Can't say it's impossible, there used to be a cricket rom on here.
I'd repost in Q&A section. Your likely to get closed down and flamed out here.
I think I've heard Sprint won't activate an ESN not in there system

I have VZW Incredible on Sprint, we will not go int details on the forum but my im using ported evo rom, the profile or prl update section in rom does not work however im guessing you can get calls and text msgs to work but you have no 3G?
Next Question is if phone and sms are working did you do it yourself? Because if you did then it makes the process of explaining a whole lot easier.
I was under the impression Sprint blocked VZW ESN
OH they definitely do but theres always a work around
wayne2410 ... yes i did it my self and the Phone works and texting but no data. My thought was if someone can show me or cook me a ROM for the incredible with all of the sprint items built in I can update my profile and let sprint fix the Data on the phone. I have put in the AAA password and everything just wont get data. If you have some other idea to help out please email me.
Thanks,
Jay
Cook an Incredible ROM for Sprint
So is anyone willing to Help me COOK a ROM that is for the Incredible but will sprint base files ... and will this even work after i install the ROM can i update the Profile from sprint and fix my data issues ?
Isn't it easier to just get a sprint phone
Yes it would be easier to get a Sprint phone and if sprint offered a HTC phone that was good without having to pay for 4G i would ... my wife will never use 4g and there is no need for me to pay for it ... but her HTC Hero sucks
Hey jhamady check your email I sent you info that i used t get my Droid incredible working on sprint $20.00 Free and clear 3000 min unlimited data plan LOL
Sprint charges 10th for any smart phone not just 4G. Read up on stuff before you assume.

Will get you info soon
I too am having the same issues, the aaa is in, but no data. If anyone could forward me the directions going around from wayne, I would be extremely grateful. An incredible without data is incredibly frustrating.
Any Luck
anyone have any more luck getting data to work... I am about ready to give in. I still think if we can get someone to cook an Incredible ROM with sprint sys files we might be able to run update profile and let it repair its own data connection but even that might not work.
Recomendations?
I've been looking around through ported roms and thought that would be the best place to start.
If any of you guys using a Dinc on Sprint could recomend a rom that has as much of the "sprint" left in it as possible that would be awesome.
I'm running a Dinc with the EVO 2.15.00.11.19 Radio and EVO 1.90 PRI.
This thing ran awesome for about a month then out of nowhere something when haywire and no amount of revising my settings, COMPLETELY wiping and reflashing everything seems to fix the issue. I'm hoping a rom that will accept a OTA PRL and/or "Firmware" (PRI) update will fix it. If not, then I don't care and I'll find a new phone. ha ha
Anybody know a way to get this phone working with boost? I was told that the Epic 4G "Incognito" way worked but wasn't completely sure.

Don't try...you will be link directly to sprint's fraud department soon as you make the first call after phone is flash to boost mobile. This phone has a micro chip QFN part on it and it collect's information that are conflict with sprint programming codes. It will auto send the log **** to sprint.
Nice to know! but hasn't this phone been flashed before?
can't keep using my OG Epic.

I am wanting to give my wife my evo 4G, we are both on boost already and my evo has already been converted to work on boost. What I want to know is can I just go online and put in the ESN number that is on my boost acount and it will automatically work or will I also have to go into the phone and change the number over, I already have my msl # but I don't know what I would have to change if I did have to change anything. Can it be that easy since my phone has already been flashed for boost and also rooted or would I be better off just buying her another evo ? I want to flash a evo 3D for me and want her to have my evo 4G. Please help !
Unless someone has a better or faster way, I found it easier to just flash your old phone with the info from the phone on her acct now then just put your info into the 3D once you have it. I tried helping a friend swap numbers on a white Evo and black Evo (both on boost) since his wife wanted to trade. I tried to swap the boost phones on each acct first (Unfortunately it gives you new AAA keys when you switch accts) and found it easier to just swap the acct info on each Evo (Hope that makes sense to you, if not shoot me a PM and I would be glad to help.)
+1
Reflashing is the only way.
I think I understand, I can just basically copy and past my esn info on to her acount online and my evo will now be hers with her number with no issues ? Then I can just get an evo 3d and flash it to boost for me
Yup u got it.

I've been a member of xda for a while now. I'm coming from the EVO Shift, and as all phones die, I had to move on. I actually got an Evo 3d, only because it's technically still getting the ICS update but man I really wanted the 4G LTE... My shifty's touch screen ended up dying on me and I had a Sprint Rep replace it. Didn't want another Shift so I had them replace it with an OG Evo.
My plan with it is to obviously root it, but I was gonna flash it over to MetroPCS to give to my girlfriend (cause she's never had a smartphone).
A quick question: Is there a list of ROMs that are compatible with Metro? I've only ran into metro droid.

Look in development, you will see metro next to rom and that will work. Just following the instructions.
