an odin will NOT even touch the esn of your phone. so you wont have to reflash but maybe reconfigure a little.
boost is ran off of sprint. having the operator name to sprint instead of boost mobile is fine, although you need to change your apn to mm.myboostmobile.com,

I would leave my phone alone if I found out I couldnt even post in the right forum.... Thats just me though.

Yea service is great depending on where u are u get fast 3g. But it didn't cost me nothing I just got a boost incognito make sure esn is clean and any et4g bad esn or good it doesn't matter. But to flash it its free if you follow the guide I'll look for it and post you the link

Sweet thanks bro.....I just moved to shawano wi. And the sprint servise sucks.
So I figured I'd flash to different carrier,but I have to see what boost coverage is here before I flash lol.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yea that's true check how sprint is over there since boost uses sprint towers.
And good luck if u need any help pm me and I'll try 2 help u as best as I can. Because after I flashed the phone I got error 16. Also its recommended u use the incognito.

If you dont get good sprint service chances are you will get even worse service with boost. Boost mobile is a sprint company and runs off sprint towers and has no roaming.

hey there i need help flashing my samgsung galaxy to boost i followed the video and the post but when i get to the drivers for the samsung it wont install i have a sph-d710 and the download is for a sph-d700 and i tryed to get the drivers for mines but it wont show up in my ports but everything else is all right
Hoping I can get some help! I have a Sprint S2 on Boost for my pop. had someone flash it for me. worked perfectly. now i have no data. I am 99% sure I know what is wrong but don't know the KEYS to fix it.
OK from the top. everything worked. but a few hours later voicemail went poof. dial into vmail says invalid number. Grrr nothing I do seems to make it reset then I remember that changing ESN resets voice mail.
SO I activate a boost android phone. it activates fine but no data. it did not "activate" right (boosts end I assume) anyway the automated support provides instructions if you get no data as a last resort kind of thing if you tried everything else.
it has me punch in a ##xxxxxx# string and the phone reboots and intiates activation and data comes on! yeah.
Voicemail is now working again as well.
OK so I swap ESN back to the flashed S2
voicemail properly resets. its working now. calls and text are working but no data now.
I think I know what I need to do. I need to do some similar ##xxxxxx# thing (no its not ##MSL# tried that already) to get it to reset the data connection like I did on the other phone.
BUT .... HOW do I do it? what is the ## code I need to do this on the S2? I can't use automated help since that system "THINKS" I have a different phone so the instructions are wrong (sanyo 3810)
so what I need is the ## code or whatever the procedure is to force the phone to reset its data connection and get 3G back.

[Q] Using the EPIC with BOOST MOBILE?

Sorry for asking (i know it's one of those annoying questions):
I was wondering if I can buy the Epic 4G and use it with Boost Mobile.
A friend wants to sell me his Epic (he is moving to an iPhone), but I don't want to commit to Sprint. I would rather do a month by month.
THANK YOU !!!
Yes but you'd have to buy a donor phone for the process. Its a process of flashing and you have to know your stuff before attempting to do this there is a guide on here if you search for "epic 4g flash to boost mobile" should bring you to the guide.

What? I meant that Boost has had the Galaxy S II on their site.
If you want a Boost modem you can flash the tar in Odin, there was a leak on here.

Anyone that has an actual Boost phone will want to BOLO for FI22.
Source dropped which confirms it will be next OTA.

Yes, the hardware is identical, just re-branded. The fact us sprint users can flash the boost firmware ensures the possibly.

I'm not sure if the system will work like that. I think depending on the donor phone. The system creates a working 4G for your phone. For example, if you used a normal LG 3G based phone. The system does not register you as a working 4G phone. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks. That makes sense actually i was just thinking that since the official boost one came out it would be a way to get us on 4g

that is exactly correct. the donor must be 4g. sprint imei codes will not activate on boost or that is the story they are telling to sell phones
i actually flashed mine to boost and have so much truble... first of all my brother has sprint airave and that interferes with my phone. cant text make nor receive calls. it only works when i leave the house.. the bad thing is that i work under some apartment buildings and someone has an airave which is bad for me...
Does anyone knows if there is a fix to this..????

There should be no reason you to have issues at home because your brother has sprint. I have many friends that have boost that come over a lot without issues. Perhaps something on your settings are wrong when you flashed it.

[Q] Boost Native S3 - flash to Pageplus - help...

Hello to all.
I attempted to flash a Boost mobile native galaxy s3 running 4.1.2 to Pageplus last night. Got voice and text working fine, however, cannot get data up and running, even 1x.
Loaded Pageplus Prl, and tried to *228 to no avail. Also tried manually change the settings in the paid version of cdmaws, under the 'evdo' section.
The S3 thread was closed, so I thought I would post here, and see if anyone could point me in the right direction? If this is the wrong section, please advise, and I will be happy to post there.
I also read that there is a way to obtain 3g without using a donor, and I thought it may be similiar to sprint to boost flashing using wifi, but that did not work either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Be well.
Anyone???

the reason nobody is really willing to help is because its a drawn out process ive been flashing phones to pageplus and verizon for years and what happens is after its flashed if you dont pay your bill in a timely manner your data will stop working. and guess what the LAST PERSON TO WORK ON IT IS now MaRrIed to that dam phone meaning that all subsequent issues get blamed on the last person that touched it. i wont even do it for free anymore due to [a holes] acting/feeling entitled

I tried flashing my daughter's S2 (sprint native) to straight talk, as I forgot to check the esn prior to buying a network access card. And wouldn't you know, it was a bad esn with sprint.
