How to flash to another Carrier (Cricket,Metropcs,Etc)

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.

It is flashable to metropcs? I read somewhere that the sprint one is a qualcom based phone. How do you know forsure? They said it has the qualcom sticker in it when you buy it

It can be flash to metropcs

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!

Sph-L700 sprint galaxy nexus
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...

verizon radio on Sprint GNEX

Hi,
It may sound weird but can i flash verizon radio over sprint one?
Wanted because the sprint radios are giving me very less speed.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Yes, I believe you *can*. But it will not work and may brick your phone. So, don't

But the reverse is true, read somewhere that you can flash sprint radio on Verizon and its working fine.

Huh. I may be wrong then. Well, make sure you've got TEP and give it a go

Waiting someone to throw more light on this. Dont want a paperweight

PRL
I have heard of many problems actually flashing radios to SP GNEX. However, i am running a custome VZW PRL on my SP GNEX. Pretty simple process and much better coverage and data speeds. The instructions for that can be found in these forums.

Sprint galaxy nexus on straight talk?

I just started rooting and flashing and all that and finally found my msl because I was told you need that to edit your data profile. Now before I experiment with putting my phone on a straight talk plan, does anyone know if this is actually possible and if so does anyone know step for step how to do it? I've been looking for a few months how to do it but never found anything that sounded like it would guarantee anything without having a sim card. So it's either straight talk or an 800$ bill to pay with sprint. So any pointers would be really appreciated.

Um im pretty sure straight talk is gsm only.....

Yes its possible.. ST will actually walk you through what needs to be changed and edited to get it working on ST if i were you id do it with a verizon GNex for better service

Alright cool, thanks.

Also, do I only need to buy the service card or do I have to get a phone too?

OK i don't why your listening to this guy... You cannot use a sprint nexus or a Verizon nexus on straight talk since they are CDMA phones..... straight talk uses T-Mobiles and ATTs network.. You will need a new phone

Straight talk does operate as both a CDMA and GSM MVNO. That being said, the average consumer is indeed going to be limited to their GSM offering.

It is possible to get on straight talk but it will not be an easy task. You will need a donor straight talk smart phone to flash over to the galaxy nexus.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

So really it will just be a matter of changing all the id's like my ssid msid and all that to match up with the straight talk phone right? Because I've been under the impression that all you have to do is have your msl and edit your data profile to match the phone that has the service you're trying to get. I've just never heard of it being done with a sprint phone.... This idea sounds almost nightmarish all the sudden

I have flashed several sprint phones to virgin mobile. Its no easy task and requires software that's not easy to come by but it is possible. Check out a thread by autoprime on the subject.

Exactly what he said has to be flashed and basically you need a cheap ST smartphone to sacrifice

[Q] Sprint -> Verizon

I am looking at buying a "Sprint" Galaxy Nexus and I want to use it with Verizon.
Will I have an issue with 4G if I do this?
Eventually I'm going to put Ubuntus image on it and want to make sure the hardware will work with Verizon totally so I can submit bugs and such.
Thanks

Not sure of the specs on both I know there are some differences in both. But I do know you gotta make it quick because unlocking phones will be illegal on this coming Sunday

Re: [Q] Sprint -> Verizon
No, it won't work. The hardware is different.

Re: [Q] Sprint -> Verizon
Why don't u just get a Verizon gnex and use it with Verizon.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

OK thanks for the information. I'll just stick with the Verizon model then.
I am going to use the Ubuntu OS coming out for them next month, and this is the prototype phone they will use.

Re: [Q] Sprint -> Verizon
Years back, verizon allowed sprint touch pros on their network, but now neither sprint nor verizon will allow any non carrier locked phone on their network. You'd have better luck getting Pepsi to put coke in their cans.

And the Verizon Gnexus went on EOL yesterday. So good luck trying to find a new one

Verizon - Have a new phone coming - can I just pop in my current sim and go?

I am currently on Verizon, with a Galaxy Nexus. I bought a Droid DNA off of eBay (really good deal), and want to know if I can just pop in my sim card, and go. I know the sizes are different, so I can use a sim cutter, and go to town on it. When I was checking the ESN with the Verizon rep, they said I would need to call to activate the phone. I've read on the interweb you can swap sims on 4G phones with no issue. So, much like everything on the interweb, there is conflicting information. What's the good word?

Actually both the DNA and gnex require micro sims, so it should fit right away. and yes, you can just pop in the sim and wait for it to recognize, but do it on the sense ROM before gaining s-off and flashing roms because I remember reading that cm doesn't have a certain file or something that prevents you from activating it when you run a custom ROM. Anyways, to answer your question yes

Verizon would need to activate because they use cdma and only use approved devices on their network.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Well Verizon exclusive devices like the droid DNA are pre-approved, and as long as it was sold by Verizon period, and is a 4g device, then you can swap sims all you want.

But this seems to contradict what is on Verizon's own website:
http://support.verizonwireless.com/faqs/VZAccess/4g_sim_card.html
Can I use my Verizon Wireless 4G SIM in more than one device?
Yes; the Verizon Wireless 4G SIM card contains all of your subscriber information, so the SIM card is portable and can be used in any Verizon Wireless-certified 4G device. All usage will be billed to the account associated with the 4G SIM card.

I'll find out for sure when my phone arrives in the mail, and I'll update this thread.

I took the Sim card from my wife's stratosphere and put it into my old droid charge and it worked just fine. All I had to do was wait for it to recognize the Sim.

I'm sure your right. I was just basing my answer on my years of sprint service. Never had Verizon 4g.

I left sprint for verizon a little over a year ago. I have had no remorse leaving. Not to get too far off topic, but the only real benefit to sprint is their unlimited data. But since you can't connect to their network, or it's slow as hell, what's the point?

Got my phone today. Popped in the Verizon 4G sim from my Nexus, and my DNA read the service with no issues. I did not have to call Verizon to swap the phone.
