Why is it you're not worried about Verizon having the MEID in their system? That is all you should be worried about. If it is not in their system, they will not allow the device on their network.

I can have it added.....so back to my original question.......can it be done??

I'm sure there's a way, you just won't have 4g. May need msl. Just use getprop to get it

Of course its Possible i have did for 2 Carriers in India why not Verizon, get your MEID added and be in touch be me.

If you can have it added then I think you're going to have to find out through trial and error, as not many have that kind of access. Let us know how it goes.

if i could do it id take my epic to verizon how do i do it!

Make a donation to suzook to get added to the system, lol.

As far as I know, I remember some people said they could call in and say they were an Alltel orphan - but since it's been a while since the merger I doubt that still works.

need a link

i have it on vz network, talk and text work fine, but data is a no go, i have tried the same methods for cricket...but stillno go. im hoping someone can point me in the right direction

Verizon won't stop you from using a Sprint phone, but they won't help you, either. Assuming the software radio itself isn't the problem, you're basically going to have to wait until there are AOSP kernel and Android builds for both the Epic and Fascinate, then figure out how they differ and hack an Epic build to incorporate the changes in the Fascinate build. Then copy over Verizon's own apps for things like voicemail.
If you need a new radio, all bets are off. AFAIK, radio firmware signed with Verizon's key won't install on a phone expecting Sprint's cert, and vice-versa. Unlike Android itself, the radio firmware is very, very encryption-locked, because it's basically impossible to get a phone with software radio past the FCC if it's not (unless you're only planning to sell it to licensed ham radio operators, and have the means to enforce it). I'm not sure whether it was possible to reflash Sprint WinMo phones to work on Verizon because the radios used the same firmware, because the radio firmware was signed by HTC in both cases, or because someone found a way to defeat the protection.
You'll probably have better luck if you try to get 1xRTT working before EVDO. I believe there's a small difference between the way Sprint and Verizon's EVDO works (one that's entirely due to software and not insurmountable, but might be the reason why Sprint phones doing data roaming on Verizon seem to be limited to 1xRTT, assuming it's not just a business decision by Verizon and/or Sprint to allow Sprint users to only roam at 1xRTT.

Has anyone been able to solve this? I have my epic for sale or trade for a verizon phone with no offers... So I'm curious if I can just take it to verizon with me.. since its bad ass..

I fixed the data not working on an epic flashed to cricket by changing the msl to 000000 and dialing *228 so maybe try that. If you can manage to find a cool vzw tech rep get them to go into switch view in acss, go to the data section and uncheck the box that requires validated shared secret data for data use. I would help you myself but I no longer work there. Directv has better benefits I wish you the best of luck bro.

if someone has a phone active already, they can extract the shared secret and write it to the Epic.
No radio firmware or ROM will make it work or not work.
lots of sprint phones are active on PagePlus. They will activate almost any CDMA device. PagePlus is a vzw MVNO.
I've said enough.. any more might be breaking the rules

I'm tryin to figure out how to do the whole entire thing from the beginning.

we're not allowed to discuss that here. it's against XDA rules.
I'm sure there are many here that could give you a description of what needs done via PM or something, but we can't discuss it in the open forum.

It suddenly became against the rules to discuss using phones on different carriers? This is no different from discussing bringing a T-Mobile phone to AT&T and making things work -.- Sure there's no SIM card in this discussion and the technology is different, but that's it.

It is not against the rules. Only making a phone with a bad esn work is.
But this is a question and belongs in Q&A

[Q] Incredible ROM for sprint - HELP Please

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

Working On A Guide For Flashing Incredible 2 Over To Straight Talk

Hey Guys,
I'm currently working on a guide for flashing a Incredible 2 to Straight Talk Service. I've hit a huge snag though. If anyone with experience with CDMA Workshop can PM it'd be greatly appreciated. When I get the phone completely flashed over I'll happily help anyone else flash their phone over I don't see paying 50 - 100 dollars for someone to flash it when I can figure it out and use the flashing cost to pay for service

Sorry I did not realize i had a reply to this posting. Well I know how to flash the straight talk prl to the phone and etc... I just can not get Incredible 2 to be recognized by CDMA workshop which is a major part of getting this phone running on Straight Talk, since straight talk doesn't allow phones other than their phone on the network.

Yeah, Ik the feeling bud I've been trying to get my phone running on Straight Talk for ages, as soon as I figure it out I'll help ya out!

Wish I could help because I'd like to do this as well. Hope you get the help you need.

I hope so too... cause the only other option for me in the area if i want to use my Incredible 2 is cricket and the service, stinks around here.

I hear you. The least expensive, seemingly reliable, option I have found is $50.

Yeah, and at least with straight talk its on verizon so we know it'll be reliable, it unlimited everything and we get verizon data speeds all at 45/month which is a lot better than the 103/month i was paying on verizon for 450 minute, unlimited txt, and unlimited data.

From what I gather reading about it, ST unlimited data on the $45 plan is actually capped at ~2GB.
An alternative on the Verizon network is PagePlus who announced they are upping the data on the $55 plan to 1GB beginning this month (was scheduled for the 18th but may have been pushed back to the 25th).
Edited to change the PP plan from $40 to $55/mo. Apologies.

Yeah even with it being capped off its still the best choice for the price, and even throttled speeds aren't to bad on ST.

I can probably help you guys out if you are still interested. I do not have the incredible 2, but I have done this with another android phone.

Sometimes it takes 72 hours to get 3G, IME. Are you using a 3G capable donor phone? If so and you wait that long and still don't have it, call ST support and tell them you aren't getting 3G speeds, without mentioning the swap of course...

I'd hate to revive a month old thread but I did come across this guide for flashing it for Cricket. If someone could adapt it for StraightTalk that would be awesome!

I'm getting about sick of the Verizon service in my area. I'm about to can my contract for good, but I like my DInc2 a lot. I'm running cm9 4.0.4 and its truly incredible now. Does anyone know if the straight talk sim cards will work with the GSM radio in thus phone on any rom?
I'm tempted to get one to try buy I just wonder if someone already has...

it will work just fine for text and talk but the internet will be slow because the phone get only 2G Edge so that's the only problem if u don't care about the speed it will be fine for u

I have the Droid Incredible 2 Global on the Straight talk Network through the Sim Card.
The only problem is I can only get Edge network. Any ideas on how to get the 3G?

Your issue will be the radios Verizon goes off a different bandwidth. And unless you get the developer edition, you have to deal with the locked boot loader bs.

correct me if i'm wrong but i've been reading that the LTE from at&t version and sprint aren't compatible so that would lead me to think that a verizon phone on sprint would never have LTE

[Q] dinc replacment

What's a good replacement for the dinc

I am waiting for the Nexus 4 to get back in stock. Going to run the BYOP Straight Talk plan on it. :good:

funny thing is that if you ask that question on a Dinc forum where people are still actively using and developing for the Dinc, the correct answer should be......another Dinc! lots of used ones on eBay for under 60$. Unlocked, Rooted, overclocked and running a better OS than Stock plus EXT4 fix makes this device still a usable device today.
but on a more serious note, me using the Dinc is tied into a couple of factors-that I am on Verizon and probably staying that way but might go to one of it;s derivatives like Pageplus Cellular. this keeps me in the CDMA/3G world for the time being so any replacement would have to be compatible.
seems like this question gets asked alot-what are some 3G VZW compatible phones out there? can you take a VZW phone and bring it to Straighttalk as easy as you can with Pageplus Cellular?

I am currently on Pageplus and don't have any complaints. I have looked around for a newer CDMA phone and the prices are crazy. The Nexus 4 is the best deal I have seen but I will have to switch to Straight Talk as it is GSM only. I don't think there is an option on Straight Talk to bring your own CDMA phone.

yes, that is my understanding on Straighttalk as well-they support sprint CDMA phones with some flashing or modification but it;s not easy. They want to push everyone to GSM.
So do you have a Dinc on pageplus? how is that working? was there any complications with getting it working on their service?

Pageplus has been problem free for me. The website can occasionally be a pain to deal with when purchasing more minutes is my only complaint. The Dinc was a breeze to port and everything worked without any setup. If you need any info on Pageplus, go to http://www.howardforums.com/ and look up Pageplus. They have lots of info.

I have two Dinc's on Page Plus currently, no problems at all, OTA programming was all that was needed. I've activated a bunch of phones on PP over the years, for myself and for friends, and compared to the hacking you used to have to do on 'feature phones' to get WAP access working, Dincs are super easy. I've also done a few Droid X's and a Droid X2, also with no issues. Currently, newer phones, in addition to being quite expensive, are also 4G, which makes them a pain to activate on PP and usually requires some significant hacking. Definitely do your homework before buying a 4G phone with plans of activating it on PP.

It depends on your plans. If you plan on sticking with Verizon you could go with the Samsung GS3 or the Note 2 (I think Verizon has the Note 2). If large screens aren't your thing you can go with the HTC Incredible 4G or Motorola Razer M.

just switched my GF feature phone on Pageplus Cellular to a Dinc I bought on eBay running CM10.1. happened easier than I expected as I was able to do everything via live chat without holding forever on the phone. text messaging seems to work including notifications. have it on the TNT 1200 plan, lets see if that will work for a month.
