Im on Boost too. They all work, you have to choose the one you want to try.

Seeing as how you have boost, you probably don't have 4G. And if you don't have 4G...every rom under the sun would work for you.
Look for a thread title- Full WiMax Settings... Good guide to add 4g

There is a way to add 4g? And here in Texas my signal is not all that great. Dunno why. But yes pls show me where to get 4g on this sucker

If you want 4g on this phone you need to subscribe to a wimax service and a change the wimax realm and wimax Mac address to match that of the modem you have activated on that wimax service.
Here is some more details:

All I did was get a 4g mac address from a friends Epic Touch on Sprint and kept the realm to sprintpcs.com since it is a sprint mac address and I was good to go.
Could I use my Mac address from my clear 4g modem I have at my house? I never connect to the wifi so maybe?

Yes you can but as long as you have active service. But both devices can't be connected to the same tower at the same time.

just edit the mac leave all fields as default and that is it.
If you have a mac from a different carrier then sprint, make sure you use the proper realm for that mac

I thought you were alright,
Ok did you follow the dir from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447615
This is how I did it, I d/l the derp.zip, then unziped it, took the CT file and replaced the CT in the system/apps made sure the permission were the same as the one that got replaced. I have root explorer so it was easy to copy/paste and set permissions.
Reboot phone
Then I dialed ##DEBUG# or ##33284# entered my msl, went down to ( WIMAX CT ), tapped ( Open Device ) waited a few for the info to load. After that I entered my mac using the format xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx hit (set). Then backed out all the way to the home screen.
Reboot Phone
If your Realm is not the same from the carriers mac then of course you need to change it.
dial ##3282# tap (view)/(WiMAX) enter MSL, tap (REALM) if you dont have the 4g radio on then Realm will be blank, if you turn it on just back one screen and reenter the (REALM) and it will be there. If you need to edit tap the menu on the phone and a window at the bottom will pop up (WRITE Rlm) enter the info save back all the way out.
Reboot Phone
Again these are the steps I did other might have a different way.
Good Luck, It took me awhile to understand the process also, so don't give up hope.

Is there any way to boost my 4g signal? Its around the corner , im just not close enough..thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
As far as I know, no. Not unless you get a clear module, which is like your own hotspot, but you have to pay for it per month. Also people have had issues with the signal being lost/weakens when going from outside to inside buildings.

You could try aluminum foil.
Actually, there is way to adjust your Wimax setting to allow it to pick up weaker signals. You need your MSL code. Do a ##3282#, go to edit mode, enter the MSL code, go to Wimax, and find the "WiMAX_Entry_RX(RSSI)(dBm) and adjust it from -89 to -95 and continue in small increments until you find a sweet spot.
I got this from a thread on here that another member created. I tried searching for it to post this but I couldn't find it. I take no credit for figuring this out.

Yea, that's right......AOSP roms lose EPST functions. Being a Sense user, that totally slipped my mind. However, he has not mentioned if he is on an AOSP rom, so it may still help him.

to get wimax/4g working you need an active sprint 4g account then you need to backup the working 4g's wimax partition then copy the mac address from the working 4g phone and put both unto to nonworking 4g phone.
for my understanding not sure but if can test; i hear that you can succesfully use both 4g devices at same time

After spending the evening trying to figure this out I got it down.
It works, but only one device can be on wimax at a time. I tried this yesterday with a EVO on Sprint and an EVO on Cricket. Flashed the wimax.img from the Sprint EVo to the Cricket EVO and 4G worked. Maybe changing the MAC address on a phone would allow two devices to use 4G at the same time?
I'm no expert, but the wimax.img created from a Nandroid has the MAC address in it. If you could figure out how to HEX edit the MAC address from the wimax.img file, I'm pretty sure you can change a wimax MAC address.

It does that scanning of different channels either because of authentication failure or because it can't find an evdo signal. It is just scanning the different frequencies defined in the PRL.

i have old droid x from verizon but its not activated my nephew use it to play games on it will that help ?
hey @brooksyx is there a guide hat you can post on how to flash to pageplus ?
yeah what I would suggest doing is activating the droid x phone to page plus and pulling all the number and then zeroing out the numbers on the droid x. However I don't if this can be done on a motorola phone because they have real tight security. Samsung and LG phones have been the easiest to get access to the needed numbers. So I would check before you activate the droid x.
I would recommend buying something like this and using it:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-ALLY-Ver...ell_Phones&hash=item3f1b7c8950#ht_3634wt_1163
I can provide you with the correct software to unlock it to read the numbers.
As for a guide it will be somewhat similar to this:
