I have been looking around alot. Could someone tell me if the Boost mobile version of the Epic Touch 4g touch is the Exact same as the sprint version? It comes with ics out of the box but i want to root,install recovery and get jellybean. Is it safe and is it the same process for rooting or is it completely different?

I too have a similar setup. I flash every rom that comes out. Only thing that will give you problems would be the epst settings.
If you were to flash a verzion rom, chances are the apn and epst settings would b set up for their service.
You can dial ##778# to edit these settings . I dont know Boost mobile's ESPT settings.

how did you get a dinc on boost. thought they had to be sprint phones with clear esn's?
Yes how did you do this i would love to ditch Verizon and head to Boost. I would save 50 plus bucks a month!

So nobody knows of any roms to use w/ incredible on boost mobile?
you can find one on ebay, the sellers id was everythingcellular i think, or you can find someone off ebay,google,craigslist to flash it for you, you need a donor phone, the 2 ones i was told about were samsung rant and sanyo incognito, you get your service activated onto a donor phone and the person flashes it.

Did you try flashing anyone of this odin one clicks? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252
Can't tell what you exactly did to flash on verizon so why not just start back fresh on sprint? Ofcourse backup your stuff first..
I had a Droid X from Verizon that I had flashed to boost. If I wanted to flash a rom I had to put the rom I wanted on the phone, then have it flashed to boost. My point is, flashing anything rom-wise would have made it a Verizon phone again. Like doing a factory reset. If you did a factory reset, it'd load sprint stuff again.
Odin safe recovery
Wipe data, cache, etc.
Flash a modem (maybe not necessary but I'd do it)
Flash a rom
Enjoy.

Friend gave me a new S2 today, never been turned on or activated. Didn't ask any questions.
So my question is, should I unlock it? Is unlocking it free?
Whats the easiest method to root the phone with?
What kernel & rom would you suggest using?
P.S. I'm not going to be using this as a 'phone' I'll be using it more for entertainment purposes like gaming and videos & such, looking for a rom with the most amount of free ram & internal memory available.
Thanks.
p.s. It's a boost mobile phone, SPH - D710, Samsung Galaxy S2
yes you can use it for free if your mot using it as a phone. As for the rom, I like CM10 or PARANOID ANDROID.

Before you start playing around with it make sure you are up to date on how to safely flash with this.
Learn which kernels are safe - I use Agat63's repacks but there are other options.
There's a sticky on top of the General forum that has the rundown.
And this phone cannot be "unlocked" as there isn't a SIM for it.
You can flash it over to other CDMA carriers if you want - I'm guessing it is a Sprint phone flashed over to Boost. Boost just got it so I can't imagine someone plunking $500 and just giving it away.

Boost is sph-d710bst same model number with bst added in the about phone on the firmware, I believe the box/label under battery still says sph-d710 but don't quote me on that.

Yes, u just need to download the USB drivers and Odin to your PC, boot into download mode vol- & power, and flash a rooted rom, or kernel+recovery. If you go the kernel/recovery only route you'll need to flash su.zip and subin.zip thru recovery to gain root. Alternatively you can download a rooted Odin one-click package and run it from your PC while in download mode to gain root. No-data versions retain user data the others wipe and install clean. When using regular Odin your files go in the PDA slot and uncheck f-reset

Same thing, first it was the Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4g Touch then sprint dropped the branding back to Samsung Galaxy S2. Just make sure you only flash things labeled as Sprint Galaxy S2, Epic 4g Touch, SPH-D710, e4gt don't flash anything for any other variant unless you like fancy looking door stops

Ok so quick re cap, Odin roots my phone, putting my phone in download mode allows me to flash a kernel & rom, the bootloader is unlocked but I'll still have to pay if I want it flashed to another CDMA network, correct?
Download mode is for using Odin, boot to download then connect to PC via USB. U flash .tar files thru Odin PDA slot, you can either flash a full rooted tar or just a kernel/recovery, the recovery is packed into the kernel on this device so it changes when the kernel or rom is changed. If you want to flash aosp/cm based roms I highly recommend using el26+cwm5 from chris41g so u don't brick. Flashing to other carriers you can either pay someone to do or do yourself with a little reading and software downloads, your options are boost(if its a sprint version if not its ready for boost) pageplus, virgin mobile, cricket or ting depending on what's in your area that works good. Check out the stickies in general, q&a and development and get familiar with tools and terms before starting so you don't run into an issue mid way thru rooting/romming

Sweet thanks, I actually put this phone on craigslist hoping someone would trade me something. It's appears to be a cool phone but I already have 2 xperia plays. Worst comes to worst I'll end up keeping it for entertainment purposes, I'd like to connect it to my TV and play Mario Kart 64 with the sixaxis controller app - considering the xperia play doesn't support TV connectivity or whatever the technical term is...
Get Project X it's the deal

Okay so I have a sph-d710vmu with virgin mobile. I flashed the epic 4g touch Goodness rom and since I have had no service. Also my ESN is not showing in the settings and neither is my phone number. I have tried restoring, new roms, fix permissions, and everything else I have read up on. Everything I try to find on unroot for this phone is for the Sprint Epic 4g Touch, has anyone else ran into this problem, and did I cause it by flashing a sprint rom to a virgin mobile phone?
Um what about this?
yea I tried that one rwilco is my main source for all my tars and zip files, but it still didn't help. I still have no signal, no imei, no phone number under my settings, about phone. but thank you for just trying to help me.

A sph-d710 is the same whether it's sprint, vm, or boost. Flashing a sprint rom will work on vm, you just have to change the mmsc url. Have you tried flashing a jb modem? And all the epic 4g touch unroot stuff you read will work on your phone, because that's what you have. Good luck!
