Back to Sprint from Cricket (or Boost) - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

My neighbor has a E4GT that was originally on Sprint that was flashed to Cricket (I think). He said he give it to me for $50 since he got an iPhone and went to AT&T.
I wanted to check if there's any way it could be flashed back to Sprint. Seems like a good deal if so.

Assuming it was on cricket it probably has a bad esn.. So the first step would be to check the esn status of the phone, which the code can be found under the battery. Call sprint and ask the status of it.
Even if it can't be activated on sprint its still a steal at $50.

[Q] About phone trading

How does one go about trading phones with another person? For instance, if someone were trading an epic for an evo, then they have the evo from the person trading, how do you go about activating it for your own account? Won't the traders info still be on the phone, etc? Any clarifaction for be great, TIA.

Umm if I'm correct u both will need to call and.deactivate Ur phones and reactivate the traded one. If I was yall I would just meet up at the sprint store to trade. But imo the epic is crap
You need to do a factory reset to put phone back to stock with no personal info,, just like you would get it out of the box,, you would need to call or go to a sprint store and say i would like to swap ESN numbers with these phones.. after all that your golden!! Ha

Thanks for the responses, that cleared things up. I was just curious about how trading went down.

When I traded my epic for my current EVO(thank God), me and the lady went to the sprint store and let the people there do it. They had to put my account on another phone, put hers on the epic and then put mine on the EVO. Took all of 10 minutes or so.

Sprint and Me

Ok, So I am incredibly unsatisfied with Sprint's service as of late. I purchased the Epic 4g Touch and experienced the dreaded "Loss Of Service" bug frequently. I was within my 14 day return limit so I went into the Visalia California Sprint Store to swap out for a different model (namely the Evo 3d which I traded in for the e4gt). I also signed 5 of my friends up with sprint as well and 2 of them got the e4gt and had the same exact issues. They convinced me to try a replacement and assured me that if it still experienced that bug I could return it within 14 days of receiving the replacement phone. The replacement phone was worse than the one I had originally and lost service every hour. I missed several calls from work leaving my employer under the impression I was angry and ignoring her and almost cost me my job. So I went in to the Visalia California store yet again to get a replacement model. I spoke with the same woman that convinced me to get the replacement model (She was also the manager) and she stated that the device was out of its 14 days since the FIRST device and that I couldn't get a different model (see what she did there?). So I went home and called Sprint off of another line and spent 4 hours total on hold. I hung up and called Sprint tech support and after running tests and walking me through updates and such the rep spoke with a manager on his end and concluded that I needed a different model of phone. He stated that he would note that down in the ticket and to go into the Visalia California store and they would give me a different model. So I went in to the store and spoke with the manager yet again. This time after reading the ticket she became rude and uncivil stating that the ticket says "customer needs to try a different model of phone" and that they didn't have to provide it for me and that even if it did, corporate cannot make them give me a different model. The whole time I was civil and polite but my frustration was building. I drove an hour to the Sprint store in Fresno only to find out that Visalia had to handle my case and that they could not even replace it with the same model. So I found a man on craigslist and traded it for a Nexus S 4g. I plan on paying out my contract asap and switching to Verizon. They know how to treat a customer.

Call account services, and speak with a manager. They should be able to escalate a claim. Or at least do something more for you.

Account services was the first call I made. they would transfer and drop me. This literally happened 12 times.
Wow that's crazy. Sprint is actually really cool here and if there's notes on your account the corporate store will always honor what they tell you on the phone. They even replaced an Evo with a bad speaker that my buddy had bought at an "authorized retailer" AFTER his 30 days were up.
I'd fight them so hard on this. Look for any sites that rate local businesses and flame that chick like there's no tomorrow. Also threaten and follow up with a complaint to the BBB. You don't have to take that treatment from anyone.

I already traded my phone to someone else so I doubt they will do anything for me.
But yeah I will report them. didn't have to deal with sh*t like this with the big red
Yeah probably a little late since you traded for a nexus. You could have at least sold the e4gt to pay the early termination fees and just left sprint.

And yeah I needed a working phone asap so at the time it seemed the best option. I can pay the fees I just refuse to. I tried to pull that card and they transferred me to a manager which i was conveniently disconnected from in the process.
Wait what the hell? Verizon and AT&T both limit your data now? WTF I cant do that God they are sooo lucky I need a phone. So I get a choice between sh*tty customer service and sh*tty cellphone service... I can't live in this world anymore
T-Mobile and Sprint have the best customer service IMO. But if T-Mobile is absorbed by AT&T... game over.

Activate a new account with a 2g iPhone. Do the activation thru iTunes and select unlimited data, wait a week it so and switch your sim to the phone you want the unlimited data on and call care and update the imei .

The exact same situation happened to me with my Nexus S 4g. I will give you a heads up...its an absolute hassle.
Reason is that Asurion flagged the phone ESN as "lost/stolen"
It took almost a week between calls to Sprint and Asurion to get the matter solved.
Good Luck.

1. you shouldn't tell them you found your old phone. they might want it back
2. you can't use your phone on spint anymore. but i heard it can be used to flashed on boost mobile
3. you can sell it on criaglist as a bad esn phone. people will still buy it. or you can donate to one of our developers on xda.

You can try to activated...but if assurion flag the esn as lost or stolen it's not going to work with sprint no more you can try to remove the flag but most then likely it's not going to work...you can try to sell it on Ebay for cricket...

In my past experience from earlier this year I lost my phone at the Airport. The airport ended up finding my package after like 3 weeks... I had reported it lost, so i got a new phone (Evo 3D). The ESN on the lost phone was clean for activation. I ended up playing it safe and selling it on Craigslist when I went on a trip like across the USA at new york lol! far away from Oregon.... Anonymous style to keep it freshly away from me.
If you processed the claim through sprint they will lock the esn specific to that phone from use. If you called assurion directly they don't always follow policy and may not have locked the "lost" phone.

Being that u called asurion plus sprint its definately flagged. Next time just deal with asurion and leave sprint out of it. Asurion wont flag the esn unless u say its stolen. With my original epic i had a friend slap it out my hand by accident and i couldnt get sprint service center to fix it and it was only 2 days old. I was tight so i felt like why should i send it back if im coming out of pocket anyways? So i went online filed a claim put that i lost it and gave it to my friend so he can try it out. He activated it no problem but decided he'll stick to his evo. Now my bro has it and even got it fixed free by sprint when they started the in store repair thing. Too bad sprint ended that in like a month. My bro still has the phone on his line tho lol
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
If you have the account owner(you or your gf) call sprint they can verify you were the purchaser and pull the flag off of it if you're nice, they will just pull up the esn to verify it was indeed the device you originally purchased and lost and then clear it out I've had it done a few times in the past when I've lost devices, actually had my evo flagged as lost twice and removed from my 5 year old hiding the damn thing up inside the couch where i couldn't see it and then I'd find it a few weeks later when I'd.move the couch to vacuum under it or once he stuffed it down into the back seat of the car and my wife found it when her purse spilled and her wedding ring fell in the same slot between the bottom and back of the seat. Just be warned its a bit of a hassle and may require calling several times til you get a rep willing to do it for you

This is how I get all my new phones... You can hook it up no problem. An esn swap on you EVO line is all it takes.
As soon as you file the claim, it becomes the property of Asurion. In every replacement box they send out, they give you a return envelope to send your old unit back in case you should find it again. Technically attempting to reactivate or sell it would be insurance fraud if they decide to pursue it. Its better off being flashed to another provider that doesn't care where an ESN comes from.

^^^^ Wow went through the whole thread looking for this guy and not till the very end did he pop up.... LOL
@OP, this is what you do- hold on to your phone or you can sell or donate to one of the developers in here if you are a chronic flasher. Most of the posts in here are spot on. If you only contact Asurion then your phone wont be flagged by Sprint since apparently the two don't talk all the time.
I am sitting on two phones that I purchased from people who thought it was a bad ESN but I have since turned one on to Sprint and the other I had checked and its also good.
I let the kids play with them, an Evo and a Evo 3D - I just made up a Google voice number for them and while in the home they can call all their friends or whatever. Then if we go out I just turn on the Hotspot and they can get market apps or make a call while I control everything. Also they can watch netflix - whatever it takes for a dad to get some PEACE and QUIET!

Straight talk

Does anyone use the DINK 2 on straight talk and getting 3G
check ebay, you can remote flash your phone
there are listings on ebay where they will flash your phone remotely. You need to have it rooted and a data cable. i saw classified ad saying they did samsung phones for about 25-35 bucks. I texted them and they could do inc2 as well for 35 I even ordered the phone from walmart you need for the esn. I received it and was researching online and really think straight talk's big issue is cutting you off for going overboard on data usage. In some cases people lost their numbers.... I just activated my phone on page plus it $55 and only 2gb of data which could cause me issues. I downloaded a data usage monitor and have been on wifi since the port. I guess I can see how it goes the first 30 days and always try straight talk at a later date. By the way I was on Net10 before i switched to page plus on an att phone and it was awful. Verizon is so much better in my area. so i bought an inc2 on ebay and took the plunge... Hope I helped.
From what I read, this phone does not have the correct frequency to get 3G service on straight talk, so much for being a world phone.

The "world phone" part of the Inc2 was in reference to it working with the Vodafone service. A world phone does not mean that it will work everywhere you go in the world, all carriers operate under different frequencies. If you buy an unlocked GSM phone you have to make sure that it will work with the basebands of your carrier or else you may end up just getting Edge speeds instead of HSDP or HSDPA+.

I had sprint for years and noticed their service was getting worse in DC Metro area, went to Outer Banks, NC and couldnt make a call this past July 4th. I went to the Walmart to buy a temporary phone so i could work a bit while vactioning. The nice woman in Walmart said get the cdma-v Net10 phone (samsung proclaim) it will use verizon towers and that is really the best service around here. So i bought the phone used it a few days and ported my number to them. the one problem was that samsung phone was plastic and the earpiece sort of distorted the caller so I got an old att inspire 4g and bought a sim card ported my number to the sim card device (att) and couldnt believe how awful the service was. WOW, it stunk. I started reading up knowing I wanted Verizon service which in my area is far and away the best so I found Straight Talk and Page Plus could use verizon android phones and get the good service. I chickened out of signing up for Straight Talk only becaus I have heard of all the people getting service turned off so I signed up with Page Plus 55 plan which allows you to use the Verizon phones without flashing a new ESN. It works great but I am using the wifi now becaus the 2 gb limit could be an issue. I am going to give it 30 days to see how the data issue works out and if I am really having to change my habbits will probably try flashing to Straight Talk. So I am interested in seeing how it goes with someone on this forum instead random internet sites.
I have been checking into having it flashed, I think it's the best way to go, I'm going to hold off for a while before I decide to pay and get out of my contract.

Are you getting 3G?
Also you said Samsung Gusto, I see these are expensive at the verizon website, the Gusto 2, but they sell the gusto phones on ebay cheap, 20 bucks, better than 200.
This thread has some valuable info.
The gusto 1 is new for $20 at wal-mart and so is the gusto 2 and both get 3g if they didn't you would get only what the gusto got in data.

So yes I'm getting full 3g speed to use as my data and for my WiFi tether. The incredible2 doesn't act any different when its been flashed I have both mine and my wife's rooted we change custom roms all the time. Just make sure after the gustos esn sticker is placed in you incredible after the flash is done then snap the gusto in half cause if someone else trys to activate the gusto it throws a red flag up let's Verizon know you cloned the gusto to another phone so I break them into a few pieces so they can't ever be used. I hope all I said has and will be helpful to you all.

At least TRY to help.

Basically I bought a phone from a guy off Craigslist.
I asked for the ESN before purchase.
Called Sprint, was clean+clear and ready for activation on ANY account.
Bought phone.
Sprint says the phone is still tied to an account, and they cannot do anything unless I have his permission.
The guy I bought the phone from, when I was on my way to get it. Texted me and said, call this number when you get there.
So I did.
6-7 hours pass, I call, no answer. I text, says its some 70 year old person and to quit texting them.
I have his E-Mail, phone numbers all that in the settings>status
Cops won't do a damn thing. I'm just in the air.
I could be that guy and re-sell it to someone who was as stupid as me.

I have a Sprint S3 which I am using and is active.
I wanted to buy a Note 2, I found a guy to sell me one.
I asked him for the ESN before I went to buy it. Called Sprint, was clean and ready to be activated.
Met up and bought the Note 2 for Sprint.
Sprint now says they cannot do anything to the phone unless the owner gives them permission too.
Guess I'm just screwed for using this on the Sprint network.
Cricket said $75 to flash, and 60 a mo for service.
Or, I could be that guy & re-sell it on CL and screw someone else over.
Then just go buy a new one.
You could be honest and resell, someone might want it for cricket. There's no need to pass along any BS.
Yeah its your mistake. You should have gone to a sprint store or at least called sprint on the spot to activate it before you pay.

Yeah, talked to a Sprint manager that I know and she said he owes Sprint like $305. So, its on Craigslist now. Posted it as a flashable phone. Thanks guys..

a GS3 flashed to cricket on ebay sells for MORE$$$ then a regular GS3 that was on Sprint or Verizon
Cricket dont sell GS3's so people with cricket love that phone and will pay $$$ to have it work on their network
