Evo 4g on virgin mobile

since virgin uses sprints tower would it be possible to use the evo on virgin because im think about buy a used one from a friend and i dont want to sign a 2 year deal

Nope would not work. If you really want a evo and your friend will sell you his then you would not need to sign a two year contract. The two is only required for people who buy a new phone or upgrade there phone and do not wish to pay retail price

the thing is that sprint doesn't a have plan where some one can buy a phone at full price and use it on a month to month deal or do they and i just cant find in on there webpage like with Verizon i bought a droid when they first came out but paid full price but used it mouth to mouth does sprint have somethink like that

Try going to a Sprint Corporate store and asking.
PROTIP: Bestbuy is not Sprint Corporate.

The Evo on metropcs works great for me for the $40 a month price, though you'll have to get the esn added through houdini in a non-official manner so to speak. Search craigslist and there'll be a ton of adds of people who can add the evo to the metropcs network.

so in other words, yes it's possible as the cdma radio hardware is the same,
however some people who are not lawyers think it's illegal to change the ESN
even though you're not stealing any service.

Protip: Sprint bought Virgin last week. They already had 51% share and decided to purchase.

Virgin does not allow flashed phones on their network (sprint). Now you can flash evo to verizon, cricket and metropc and other verizon based providers. Cricket is nice because for 55 you get android plan with everything unlimited and it runs on network that evo was designed for.

Nothing is impossible in our world.
Anyone out there dedicated and financially capable of trying? lol

You'd be wrong if you sincerely believed this.
Works with $25/month plan perfectly...

You had the Virgin Mobile Intercept though, not the Sprint one, right? It doesn't matter that they're technically the same network. They use different databases to check ESN numbers. You'd have to buy an Android phone from them (get the Optimus V, it's cheaper and better than the Intercept) and spoof the ESN of the Evo to match the other phone's. Make sure only one is turned on at a time though or the ESN will be banned, and since they'll have the same ESN neither will work!
Is it illegal? No. You're not scamming anyone. You'd still be paying the same amount of money. Plus, you own the original phone with the ESN you'd be copying, so it's not illegal.

I'm using HTC Evo on Cricket now, and next couple weeks I'll try to make it work on Virgin base on what I did to transfer from Sprint to cricket. Just change the prl ,ip .........I'll see

Google it and I found the prl from the thread called : How to flash a phone to virgin
Good luck everybody .

I think I know what thread you are talking about, does data work on the phone as well as voice?
I've heard of people getting talk and text working but not data, so far with the evo.

Hello, So I have an intercept already and just bought an EVO, how do you spoof the esn of the evo? I really need your help guys! Thanks.

I got the email, but I've never done it.

evo
thanks for the reply. I would appreciate anyone elses help!

You can find out what the data settings are on howareforums, in a thread called How To: Flash a phone to virgin mobile, but they won't tell you how to change an esn.
Some people thinks it's illegal to change esn # so we aren't allowed to tell how it's done on most forums.
If you look around online and youtube you can find out.
If you end up getting it working let us know.

[Q] Can I flash my Dinc to Metro PCS?

Just wondering if this can be done and if I will be able to add any custom Roms to it once is on MetroPCS. I looked on craigslist to see if there were any local Flashers but could not find one here in NJ or NYC
What's the story?
I lost my phone a while back, got a replacement and someone called me a month later to let me know they had found my phone.
I have been using it as a mini tablet, adding different roms, letting my 2 year old girl play with it, etc.
Heard it can be activated on MetroPcs which its a lot cheaper than Verizon. I could either cancel my current contract or see if I can transfer it to my wife who's contract is about to expire.
She needs a new phone and this might just be the perfect solution as she could take my Verizon Dinc

Not Sure, But It Probably Has A Bad ESN Now, I'm Almost Certain But I'm Not Saying It Does.
Metro Is Cheaper But Their Service...Sucks
If It Has A Bad ESN You Won't Be Able To Transfer It, There May Be A Way To Unlock It But I Have No Clue

Even if it has a bad esn with verizon, metropcs should be able to activate it - that is if you can find someone to do it. I have seen people here in the tampa market with incredible and i have seen posts on craigslist to have it done for $50-$100 so I know it is possible. Talk and text on MPCS is great for the price but internet is going to suck!! Kind of a waste of the incredible's awesome power!!

can anyone please help me how to flash incredible to metro pcs

In Atlanta you can go to the Metro store on Beaver Ruin. They charge $60

u can't flash phone in NYC to metro its not gonna work
sorry for the bad news

[q] sprint galaxy note ii bad esn help

I was looking to buy a sprint galaxy note 2 with a bad esn. I was told that it can be reflashed to work on boost mobile. The phone is apparently still sealed in the box. This is the response I got when I asked how the phone could have a bad esn if its still sealed in the box. "Hey Jason the esn is bad because I got these through upgrades. I tried to cancel my contract after but they refused to let me without paying the termination fee. If you're interested let me know be cause I have 2 people in the city that wants it and I'm just too lazy to travel." Im wondering whether this is legit or whether I should stay away? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Boost is owned by Sprint, so is Virgin Mobile. Don't buy them if you don't want to waste the money.

They don't use the same esn database and you have to use a boost branded donor to get a sprint branded device on their network.

If it is a good price, then buy it, the esn does not matter cause it is in the sprint data base as being bad and you are not going to activate on sprint.
Anyway the sprint bad esn is going to change via a "donor" which you need when going to boost so again that takes care of the bad esn issue.

Is there a particular donor phone I need to buy? Does it matter if its 3g or 4g?

It would need to be 3g, boosts 4g is WiMax which the note 2 does not support so 4g would never work.

go incognito, cause mostly all flashing docs are based on the xfering files from the incognitio.....just remember you will only have 3g, as you know the N2 does not have 4g wimax and there is still no hack as of yet to piggy back on sprint LTE network.
there are cheap incog phones on ebay, also you can just buy the files needed (NV and ESN) I think like $30 which is also all you need if you dont a phone.

Any help you can give in terms of either of those options is appreciated. I simply figured its an easy way to make a few extra bucks. Nothing major just $30 or $40. Where do I find these files? And in terms of buying a phone, I saw a 3g boost phone for $20 on ebay. That would be sufficient?

well the simple way out, when I put my GF on boost was just having CDMA workshop, I bought version (3.9):
I bought the (nv and esn) files from ebay, loaded them up to a S3 called up Boost activated a new account since she was new to Boost. They had me dial ##msl# then enter the phone numbers in the proper places, reboot and that was it. It was up and working, also make sure you change the mmsc to http://mm.myboostmobile.com so that your mms will work.

What do I search for to find these files on ebay? Does it even make sense for me to do this? Is there $ to be made buying phones w a bad esn and flashing them to boost mobile?

I dont know if buying files and phone and flashing then selling might make $$$$$$$. Example note 2 bad esn +/- 450 after if you were going to just do N2 you would need to sell for about 500 to 600 if you want to make a little something....and that is a lot of $$$ even I would pass. Now if a person brought over a N2 or any sprint phone and you put it on boost for about 100...... ten phones 1k easy money and that can be a day or a week...still good $$$, even if it is a side job. Of course - $$$$ for buying the files I think still pretty good.

Usually flashed phones fetch more than non flashed phones, especially when the carrier they're flashed do doesn't offer them.

I can buy a sprint galaxy note 2 w bad esn for $420. U think after all is said and done its worth it? Even if I only made a quick $40 or $50 im happy. U think I could do that?

sure you can, it is really not that hard like Evil stated, non boost phones that come from sprint are worth it and people will bite, now that the S2 is on Boost it is not that much of a high demand...people want S3 and Note2 on boost...even EVO's...etc.

Fak! Not worth it. 420? You can buy a xbox360. I would be at the most is 150 $.

so then how do i go about flashing the phone to boost? what do you think is
the easiest and most effecient way to do it?

if you are going to do it as a side job, then it would be worth buying CDMA Workshop(3.9) that is all the software you need. It also helps the dev a lot which is always good and you get free upgrades etc......
1. buy the files
2. load them up to the phone
3. call boost activate
4. change the mmsc
that is it.....pretty simple.

Help moving from Sprint to Boost with back story

I have no idea how to do it but I need to get my note 2 from Sprint to Boost Mobile. I can live with no 4g. There is no 4g in my area and barely any 3g. When we get 3g it barely browses the web heh. Im just tired of paying 100$ a month for a useless brick when I could be paying 60$. I am not an advanced user. Is there any way to get my phone onto Boost? I hear some people say you need to get an ESN from a boost phone ect.. I would rather not have to spend 100++++ on a crappy throw away phone.. Everything I find is extremely technical. I can flash roms and follow directions fine. Thanks in advance.

Look on craigslist in your area for someone that knows how to activate it on boost. I paid 25 to get my note 2 on page plus and only 55 a month for unlimited calls/text with 2 gb data.

"Yes" you need a Boost phone for ESN/MEID and NV files purpose......the incognitio which you can find on ebay for 20-30, is the phone of choice for its easy info xfering.
You can go what d12 stated and find someone in your area, that can do it for a fee...etc.
or
You can spend time studying, rereading....the flashing to boost thread.....over and over again and again.....that is what I did to understand what was being talked about. It made life much easier when I flashed over to boost.....after you have done a few it is really not that hard.
Your story was why I switched over to Boost and never looked back same shoes just different location....in just a few more month I will be at 35 a month.
