How is this possible? I've tried to read through a few tutorials for it, but they were mainly geared towards MetroPCS and I didn't fully understand it. Can anyone help me out?
not going to happen.
Boost = iDen network
They have a CDMA network through Sprint as well.
Anyone? I know it's possible since others are doing it, I just don't know how.
I've seen it done before, seriously no one is going to tell you how to do it, you'll have to search yourself, I've tried to do EVO on Verizon, it's been done, there is nobody who will give me a step by step because it's how you do you say not traditional to do this. Sorry man I am no help. just google it. you'll find better results.

I've been searching for a few hours, I cannot figure out how to do it.
Someone else was just asking about this. I posted a link to a guide there. That might get you started.

Thanks for the advice, but I'm not sure if that would work. That tutorial is several months old, and no one ever tried it for the Evo or as far as I can tell any Android phone.
Honestly, there is no easy way to do it. That link I gave you is by far the easiest way to do it, but like you said, no one has confirmed that it works on the EVO. The method is not OS specific however, so it shouldn't matter that you are using Android.
Since you are trying to get your EVO on Boost, I assume you already have a boost account, so why not try it? If you don't already have an account then you should probably give up because the cost and expertise required to do this might not be worth it to you.
If you are not afraid of highly technical and highly illegal work, then I suggest you start researching how to clone the esn of the boost phone you already own.
I do not own a boost phone yet, I'm interested in this because of the cheap pay as you go plans. .30c per day for unlimited data is pretty nice, in my opinion. As towards the cloning the MEID, IF I were to do this, would everything work correctly such as gps, web, voice, etc?
Everything should work correctly, except for some sprint apps, but I haven't tried it so I can't say for sure. From what I've read it won't work on pay as you go, you have to buy the $50/month unlimited plan.
Sprint ETF + Cheapest unlimited Boost phone = $200+80= $280
You would save $20/month with boost, so after 2 years the total savings versus keeping your Sprint account would be only about $200 max. Not worth the hassel in my opinion, but maybe having no contract is worth it to you.
Ah, that sucks. If I could get it on the pay as you go it would definitely be worth it.
Open the original phone in QPST (Service Programming)
Open the cloned phone in QPST (Serivce Programming)
Go tab by tab and try to match everything us as much as possible
if the cloned phone has a feature enable in Service Programming I've learned best to just ignore it and only clone everything from the original phone
Okay after that... what to do.. You need to get your HAA and AA keys copied over, I have the steps to do that as well in QXDM but the htc Hero doesnt seem to work with these steps or the vx9100 that I have... so the only way I can get it to work it to put a different phone on your network, then turn off the original phone and turn on the clone and then transfer the clone back on to your network, when you change the phone back and *228 it, it will write the Secret keys needed to get data,
and last but not least you need to get a prl that is made for your network. I have the latest prepaid prl for verizon.
If anyone can tell me how to fix my PRI that would be great!
I bought an evo from someone from Craigslist and it wouldnt activate. Sprint told me the ESN was not correct.
So i did a ton of research and i know i cant even ask certain things so i am trying my best to word this correctly because i am not 100% sure how i can even ask for help with this.
After doing a lot of reading i figured out by using CDMA WS 2.7 that the ESN and MEID dont match whats on the sticker under the battery...which finally made sense to me why Sprint wouldnt let me activate it.
I dont know where to go from here, i am stuck and ready to just dump it back on Craigslist to sell to someone who could either fix it themselves or is willing to deal w/it for whatever service its setup for.
So before i give up i was hoping to reach out to this community for help. If you cant post it because it would infringe the forum rules then please just PM me. Any idea's would be helpful or just some good advice besides throwing this thing at a brick wall. Thanks folks.
I'm pretty sure you got scammed into buying a borked phone. Would probably sell it back on craigslist, honestly obviously
I've seen Evos with bad ESN's sell for a pretty penny on eBay. They can still be used outside the US and can be flashed over to MetroPCS or Boost Mobile here, so it is still not completely useless.
From what I know, the only way to get it to work on Sprint is to know someone in Sprint who will be kind enough to add the ESN on your phone to their database so it can be activated. A co-worker of mine had a Verizon Blackberry Storm on Sprint by doing this a few years back, but he had a family member that worked for Sprint help him out. For all I know, this can't be done anymore, either.
so you dont think i can repair it back to the stock one thats on the sticker under the battery ?
i have been doing a lot of reading and i figured i would give it a shot since if its bad i have nothing to lose.
So far i have the ESN zero'd out 0000000
Meid i cant get because i only found 9 locations, i am not sure where the 10th one is hidden. I am only guessing from what i read that its in 10 locations and thats why it hasnt worked yet.
Using CDMA 2.7 do you know how i might be able to scan to find the last MEID location ?
First off, did Sprint say the Meid that is labeled under the battery is bad? I can only think of two reasons why someone would change the esn/meid. The phone's meid is bad or the person wanted to run an EVO on the $30/month Sero plan. I'm the latter.
Before you go any farther, go back to the Sprint store and find out if the meid under the battery is usable on Sprint. If so you can change the meid back to stock but it is going to require some reading and some effort on your part. CDMAWS 2.7 will not work on the EVO, 2.7 can not do meid #s. Since the esn is all zero's I'm betting the guy botched the job and tried writing the new meid/esn but did not find all the addresses. When you try to change the meid you have to zero out all the meids and all the esn (don't be confused if you see the term pesn. A meid phone calculates an esn based on the meid # and this called a pesn. Essentially pesn and esn are the same thing), there are approx. 16 memory locations you have zero out. If the phone has froyo on it, there are 1 or 2 address that are really hard to get to show up when you are doing a memory dump. You will have to run several dumps until you are no longer finding new memory locations. Rolling back to 2.1 would make it easier.
Go to mobile-files.us. There is a lengthy thread on changing the meid/esn on the EVO. Hopefully the person didn't wipe out your 4G certificate too, I think I read here on XDA that there is away to restore your certificate but I never had to so I never followed the thread.
You aren't completely screwed, think of it like you bought a fixer upper. Even if your stock meid is bad, you could always barrow one from your previous phone but you will not have 4G.
Good Luck, I hope you don't get discouraged and try to find another sucker. It just plain s*cks getting duped. I've been down that road before and that's what got me interested in this aspect of hacking.

If you see the esn and meid from CDMA write it down and call and activate with those numbers, should work.

Thanks, i think he had it programmed for something else like maybe cricket or something, i see a lot of them listed for that, he told me the ESN was good and i checked on a site that checks them and the one under the battery is good.
SO i would have activated it over the phone already but they wouldnt because they said it wasnt a sprint phone... i didnt want to make it their problem and i didnt know what i was talking about at the time as far as asking them for help to fix it.
I also dont want to just dump it back on someone else. I would like to finish the job and get this phone working correctly. I always feel better when i learn how and why its done.
right now im basically stuck after finding 9 of the MEID locations to zero-out. If i cant use CDMA WS 2.7 do you know what program i could use before spending a bunch of money on software ? If buying a new phone will end up as much as software it wouldnt be worth it for me ya know ?
The Evo has OS Version 2.2 and Radio 1.36. Do i need to change either of those before going any further ?
I used a combination of Motorola QPST/QXDM and CDMAWS 3.5 (I bought this when I was playing with the Pre. Can't be shared with others because it checks their servers to verify if that PC has been registered with that user lic.). I used CDMAWS to search for meids and esns. Used Motorola QXBM to change the scm, zero out meids/esns and then write. I also used QPST to match the programming info with my donor phone. The thread at mobile-files mentions how other people dumped the memory locations without having a paid version of CDMAWS.
Even if you went out and bought CDMAWS, my experience is that CDMAWS can not change the EVO's meid on it's own. Maybe some CDMAWS experts can do it but I could not. So don't spend your money on that thinking it will be your savior. It's a great tool for doing programming and working on older phones but it seems to struggle with the newer stuff.
Future Lesson:
When buying a Sprint phone on CL meet up at a Sprint sure and make sure they can activate it in the store. Once successful you then pay the dude.

No one flashes the Galaxy Nexus to any other carrier. Why would you send your phone to someone who claims they can?
And you realize the T-Mobile version is $399 but you paid $350+100+100 for a Sprint one..?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
stopped half way through... wall of text ftl.
Sprint model can't be used on any GSM carrier, and has yet to be flashed to any of the Sprint MVNO's either.
Coulda just bought a used GSM model for $300-$350 (even $399 brand f-ing new) and been on your way, using on T-Mobile / AT&T for less than Sprint.
Yup, you screwed up somehow. You do realize there are 2 different versions of the phone? CDMA (sprint, Verizon) and GSM (everyone else).
Obvious
Lol where to begin... Okay so yes it is obvious that there are 2 types of Phones CDMA and gsm I know the difference, not sure where the thought of me trying to flash a CDMA phone to a gsm network came from but your out in left field on that, gsm uses a sim card no meid or hex number so the phone would only need unlocking for use else where I have a sprint nexus and I'm trying to flash to metro or boost both CDMA carriers this guy in Florida says he can and has done it but like I said I'm skeptical lastly idk why you would add 350 100 and 100 and say that's stupid, did I anticipate the guy walking out the stOre to report it stolen? No did I anticipate the recommended guy off google to no be able to flash it ? No , please use common sense over rushed ignorance also please do a craiglist search find me a slightly used nexus for tmobile for 350 I dare yaaa lol a 32 gb at that nope they are 400+ granted im in the hole for more then that but had no anticipation of any of these events taking place otherwise I'd have scored a new nexus for 350. Lastly I simply asked if its possible to flash which the only answer close to my question came from someone who somehow out of reading my story thinks I'm arogant enough to believe sprint can be used on any network which as I know well is not the case... All I want to know is, why am I seeing intf2 what does it mean this phone as well as most should be flash able it's a very simple task once the phone drivers read correctly, I just wish someone could give some real advice vs talking to me like I'm an idiot I'm hurting lol I got burned on a phone then on google and now xda the fail safe is bashing my post as if I just bought my first smart phone I flash Ron's and Kernals regularly I've flashed an Evo to boost but my little gnex driver can't be found ... Why

You cannot flash it to boost or virgin or any other network. Its just not been done.
You can find a GSM nexus for $350 no problem (just checked my local CL and found 3 under $350). They're $399 brand new...
I just find it absolutely hilarious that you'd buy the phone without first 100% knowing that you'd be able to flash it to another carrier... and at that, why would you waste your time and money and get locked to a BS carrier like Boost or Virgin? You can get prepaid AT&T or T-Mobile plans for the same price, but with an unlocked device and a better network. Just baffling.
I'm new, but I have scoured the site and can't find what I'm looking for.
I have a Samsung Juke with a Verizon Wireless plan. I have a spare HTC Incredible that I want to replace the Juke with. Unfortunately when I talked to Verizon they said that if I switch to the Android, I have to purchase the data plan. I'm cheap, and I don't want the data plan as I have WiFi wherever I would need data.
I have already rooted and ROMed the phone using ClockworkMod 5.02, and Stock+.
Is it possible to configure the Incredible to clone the Juke, and just turn Cell data off?
If so, how?

I have mine activated with pageplus. Same network (prepaid coverage) and way cheaper
If I understand it correctly, you should be able to switch phones without getting a data plan, as long as you don't buy a subsidized phone (2 yr contract). Go to a store and tell them u just wanna switch phones, and don't have any need for data. This may have changed with their new data rules. If they FORCE you to use a data plan to get mobile access on a phone you own, that's a scam and you should switch to something like what funone46, pageplus
I appreciate the thought to switch to another carrier/plan, however I am situated with a 2 year contract that is up in October this year. Then I'll switch the Incredible to Boost and all will be well. In the meantime, I'd like to swap the Incredible in for the Juke, but I need to know if I can situate the Incredible to receive the calls and texts that would normally hit the Juke.
I know I can do this with the Incredible in place of a Samsung Incognito on Boost, but can I do this with the Incredible in place of a Samsung Juke on Verizon?

It is probably possible, but im not very familiar with it. You would have to use qpst to grab the esn and settings from the juke, and then use qpst to put the esn and settings on the incredible. I think i know how to do it in theory, but have never actually done so and am not positive if it would even work.
As I said before, I'm new. So I'm not familiar with QPST. I've already downloaded the installation files, but the screen shots look a bit complicated and I wanted to consult before I ventured that far. If I had someone giving me key assistance, I'm game to try it out. As I've said before, the Incredible is an extra phone, so I don't care about screwing it up.
I would be very grateful if you could give me a step by step, even in theory, but if you aren't comfortable, is there someone that you recommend?
Once Cricket fully flashes my sprint SGS3 am I no longer allowed to do custom roms? Or is is the baseband and stuff that is only important?

Ive flashed multiple devices over to other carriers, roms i wipe almost every other day just because im a *****. but the settings area flashed onto the phone. in CDMA,QPST ect the most youll have to do is go through reprogramming your phone with a pound code. take care to pick a service and flasher that can get the internet working. nobody wants a brick or partial flash.

Thanks heaps man, that's what I want to hear haha, I was freaked because I cant stop flashing but 55 a moth for everything really helps lol. I dont want any other phone so it's good to know I get the best of all worlds! As for the cricket flash its gonna cost me $70 i feel like thats a rip off but I want everything to work on this phone so im kinda torn as to try myself or just have a store do it for that insane amount lol
As long as its a FULL featured flash, then itd be worth your time. personally i was thinking more so along the lines of pageplus/straight talk or somewhere in that area. when i was using my Epic4gtouch i used almost 10gb of data on straight talk and i didnt get the discontinuation notice that people said i would. i think its just along the lines of being a smart user. but if they say they cant get 3g working for you for 70 bucks then its a no go in my head..check on ebay for remote flashers some of them do it as cheap as 50 dollars good luck!
How do you activate the Samsung Galaxy S3 after being flashed.
What do I have to do to activate the phone once is fully flashed?
I already have a line activated with Cricket and the new phone is fully flashed with the MIN, MDN, PRL and all the other info.
The SPC remains original as it can't be changed to Zeroes.
Do I need the 18 digits DEC IMEI number? ... Will I have to dial *22804 ... Please advice.
