I have a samsung epic 4g for sprint. it was given to me by a friend who works for samsung. I havent registered the device with sprint yet. I was told that the device is locked for sprint. if i root it can i use it with other cmda networks??
its a brand new device running Eclair. I want to upgrade and root to FROYO!!
please help
Its possible. There are a few threads about t-mo and cricket and boost mobile
Tmo and cricket are gsm...
You can flash it to metro pcs or boostmobile and get 3g
Not sure about verizon tho
Also, I think you'll need MSL's and stuff

Possible to flash/use SPH-D710 on Virgin Mobile instead of Sprint?

Hello, I have Sprints version of the Galaxy s2 and would like to totally switch plans/service to Virgin Mobile...I have seen online elsewhere that this is possible but no direct directions on how? I would prefer Virgin but Metro PCS or Cricket would also do if they would function properly with the phone. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
There have been quite a few threads around here regarding flashing over to metro, but I haven't seen anything about virgin. Do a search for metro flashing and like I said youll find a few different threads.

Its only possible by rewritting esn as virgin is owned by sprint and each virgin esn is scanned in their system

i tried running search on flashing metro but the only useful info i got was for using another phone model...anywhere i can find model specific flashing info for the SPH-D710? the only experience i have with flashing is taking my old galaxy from froyo to gingerbread using odin...guessing i would need an actual guide if one exists? thanks for your help!
Look up a program call qxdm I believe or cdma workshop u have to rewrite nam and prl if u wanna go to metro then connect phone and dial ##8778# or #8778# and switch phone option to modem need any help shoot me a pm

You sure can. I have the exact same phone on Platinumtel prwpaid which also runs on the Sprint network. Just rewrite the ESN as stated above...

I know iv seen some saying the sgs2 disnt need a "donor" phone..but i heard sonething about changing something for the 3g to work i just dont see video or info how to get the esn to virgin...i have cdma workshop but not sure what to do with it..lol
There's a guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1404270

I have a quick question: is it possible to flash BACK to sprint after flashing to virgin mobile? This is with an epic 4g touch that had a clean esn.

Yes, it should just be a matter of reversing the process you used to flash/pgm your device to VM... Assuming you did retain all of the relevant data from your original setup...

Does anyone know if you need to flash the virgin mobile version of android 4.1.2 onto a sprint epic 4g touch in order to use Virgin mobile or can you just use any of the sprint roms and just swap the info out from a virgin donor phone.
thanks
Gentlemen, I would caution you on discussing the changing of ESNs here in XDA. As I'm sure you know, flashing this way is now illegal and talking about piracy and the like in the threads is frowned upon by the mods. Just trying to help. Good luck!

How to flash to another Carrier (Cricket,Metropcs,Etc)

i wanted people To see it work but there is still more to the puzzle like data I'm sure this was not the only way to write a prl to the phone and can't wait to get my hands on another one as the one I had was a customers dat had took it to 3 cricket store already and was giving the run around about how its impossible to flash it took all of a hour to get it talk and text flash with a little more time I'm sure I could have got data
Could one potentially use part of this to safely change their PRL only? i.e. putting a corporate PRL on the phone?
EDIT: It seems to have worked.
Yes You can use this To put any prl You want even tho u rename it test it still Will show the verison in about

Whoa, what happened to your original post?
So even though this is a 4g lte phone, it is able to be flashed to metropcs? Currently i have the evo 3d flashed to metro and I wanted to get the galaxy nexus. But I wasn't sure if the sprint version could be flashed or not.

It is flashable to metropcs? I read somewhere that the sprint one is a qualcom based phone. How do you know forsure? They said it has the qualcom sticker in it when you buy it
It can be flash to metropcs
Sent from my SCH-I405 using Tapatalk 2
If i was to buy a sprint galaxy nexus and go to any metropcs, they would be able to flash it and get talk and text with their program of houdini? or you have to use a different program in order to flash it?
As of right now no houdini Will not work You can check there website tho

Metro PC's is a joke
You are better off looking on Craigslist find someone who has a store (preferably)
Why?
Because even in the event they do do it you will probably only get talk and text.Usually no mms or web
An independent retailer will most likely get the job done better.

How would you get the ESN into MetroPCS's inventory if there's NO MORE Houdini and being that it's a ESN beginning with 99XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX?
PM if needed! Thanks!
Sph-L700 sprint galaxy nexus
No one can flash this at all. Is there/Will there be software? So that it can be flashed to cricket. This is what I wanted. Now I guess I will put the phone on craigslist. Any insight.
What about another phone similar like nexus s
I have been kicking myself for a week now trying to get a Nexus on cricket and I have been getting nowhere. Its their international phone and it works when I put a sim card in it from AT&T and T-Mobile but no such luck with Cricket.
Sorry about the hi jack. But the site video said if I can't find the exact answer that I'm looking for I should find one close to it and post it in there.
The phone is mod GT: i9020T Google Nexus S
Thanks in advance.
You can only flash a CDMA phone to Cricket or MetroPCS the i9050T is a GSM phone.. if it uses a sim card it wont work...

i seen it and looked thru it didnt see much about boost 4g also it almost seemed like i wouldnt need to use a donor phone
Well you do indeed need a donor phone. When it tells you to input the meid it means the donor phone meid into the gn2. If you need help I would suggest asking there. Couldnt hurt.

I too love my Note 2. I used my Boost Mobile S3 (working 4g) as a donor phone for my note 2. Everything works but the 4g! If you can tell me how to get the 4g working I would be ecstatic... Until then, I found a company (Voyager http://www.voyagermobile.com) that will allow me to take my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to their network (uses Sprint Network) for $43.00 a month UNLIMITED everything...($45 after taxes) hard to beat that price. And you don't have t mess with your phone!

o wow nice ima check that link out yea good thing i made this sucks no 4g with boost :/
I've been using my s2 flashed to Boost for a while now. I love the s2 but was ready for 4g. I bought a Boost mobile s2 with a broken screen from Ebay. fixed the screen and activated the phone. Problem is that only the 4g works. No voice, text or 3g. I get a connection error when trying to update profile or prl. Boost tried but could not help me. The 4g works great though but without voice, it does me no good. Any ideas? Is it possible to flash voice only to the phone and keep the 4g?
