How to flash Galaxy s2 - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I bought a phone for my mom for christmas and when I tried to activate it the sprint rep told me that the the phone is still activated on another account. So now Im trying to sell it for someone who needs it for Metro or Boost. But people are charging $60+ to flash it. Now , Im already going to lose money , I just dont want to lose more by flashing it for $60. Anyone know how to flash it or if theres anything I can still do to this phone to activate it on Sprint.

#1 there is a lot of info in the general section if you search. How-To's and such.
#2 this is the dev section. Please ask/PM a mod to move it into the Q&A. *beat me to it*

How about this guy's guide?...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073003

just youtube qbking77, all answers you need should be there.

Post it on Craigslist without flashing to metro. I'm sure someone that can flash it themselves might want it. Some retail stores,whom flash to metro, also buy phones.

That's why you don't buy phones from crack heads.

Google Chris41g Boost Epic 4G and you'll find a guide to Boost.
Works on this phone and will work for other carriers as well if you know the missing pieces.

[Q] semi-broken epic, clone to bad esn epic?

So I bought a bad esn epic and a boost phone and successfully cloned the boost phone to the bad esn epic. So I have two epics right now (one for each ear?). As you can see in my other completely unanswered post I was debating whether or not to sell the new one.
I've decided to stay with sprint for a bit longer but I want to keep the replacement phone they sent me in the box. Unopened that is!
My original epic has a busted battery connector which I have bent a bit so it will stay on as long as I don't jar it, so I can read data off of it with CDMA workshop etc. The busted battery thingy is why Sprint replaced it for some cash of course.
So I want to clone my epic over to the bad esn epic. I can't figure out what I'm missing, I cant get the 3g to work (I haven't even tried the 4g). I'm sorta following the epic to boost instructions but I must be missing something.
Is this just copying the thing over in CDMA workshop?
Help please?? Pretty please? With sprinkles on top?
(I have to beg 'cause no one answered my other q )
super-grassy-ass in advance. I hope..............

Can't talk about that in here. It's against the forum rules.

dude it's my sprint account to my sprint account and my epic to my epic. Just like my epic to my boost account from my boost phone.

Doesn't matter, it's still about cloning an esn.

Hey, if you are an admin, then just close the thread.
If you are not an admin, why are you offering responses that don't have anything to do with my question?
If you're correct the proper people will handle it. In the meantime perhaps you could troll another thread.
There are threads about flashing your phone to a different carrier, that's allowed. Cloning esn's just isn't. I think there was a thread in q&a within the past week or so.

Another useful response, eh? I did do a search, but of course it's possible I missed the thread you're talking about.Thanks for adding posts to the thread though, that should generate some help for me. Or for you

And your telling me that would help how, exactly? You may not be trying but I think you are succeeding. Do you police your neighborhood and make citizen's arrests as well? You may be right but wtf?
You're right, you win. I'll leave your thread now.

Why would you post this instead of just going away? Are you one of those thread trolls that also needs the last word?? I'm having trouble figuring out any of your motivations here except verbosity.
And while I stand by my comments, I apparently got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning. :-(

Actually, the way I see it by both my thread count, and thanks count, I clearly present some value to the Epic forum. You on the other hand, decide you want to flame back at someone when they are just nicely informing you of the forum rules, like a good member of the forum would. There was nothing mean or trollish about my first post in this thread.
Wow, I see you changed your OP. Guess something I said must have been right.
No esn cloning. Please, instead of fighting with one of our arguably best themers, ask somewhere else. A quick google search pulls up the info you want. You obviously have not exhausted all your resources before asking here.
Here's a useful response.
We don't allow discussion of esn closing.

Sprint Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys, just opened my new Sprint Samsung Galaxy Nexus and got it activated. Any word on any roms that are going to be baked up for the Sprint version? I see there is not an appropriate section yet. I know this is somewhat of a question, but I think other might be looking for this post when they open their phone today too. Thanks!
ditto
You Sprint folks need to learn where to post. Sprint is CDMA...but questions, etc. need to be posted in the appropriate forum.

Actually this forum is specifically for Verizon CDMA. I'm sure a new forum will be started specifically for Sprint.
Doubt it. They are too similar. There is no reason to split the forum for Sprint.
I say a special forum for sprint would keep things less cluttered and less confusing I don't see any harm in it ...
Just a thought ..

unless everything that works for verizon will work on sprint, it defiantly needs a new section

Well in the general sprint galaxy nexus thread looks like everything works except phone service LOL
So a new forum would be nice, but i guess they could just fix a minor something in these roms and put up a sprint version.
I just think it would be less cluttered and crowded if we each had our own section, to discuss whatever..
And how is this Development?.

FREE $50 from Best Buy if you upgrade this year!

OK......... So I know I am about to break the rules but I hope the mods will let these threads linger for a while before moving, merging and locking them....
Soo I just wanted to let everyone know that there is only 6 days left to register to get a FREE $50 gift card if you plan on upgrading this year or even if you maybe sorta kinda think you might I say go ahead and register. I personally did not here about this last year until it was already over and was pretty pissed I missed out. There is no commitment so no worries if you never get around to actually upgrading later in the year.... I love my S3 but I am a tech geek and love to have the best newest phone out. I told myself the S3 would be my first 2 year phone BUT..... well you know. So anywho here's a link to the page (it's also in BestBuys main page at the moment) I'm all for saving $$$ and I am sure you are too so please take the time to get this offer if it appeals to you or someone you know... Good day to all and feel free to click thanks if you like saving $$$!

Which is why I started by saying.. "I know im about to break the rules"... How I see it. If someone was handing out $$$ and all you had to do was show up. Would want to be the one person who didn't know about it until all the $$$ was gone? I'm just trying to help people out... Sorry if it really bothers you that much, no offense intended.

I'm not offended, this has no place in the dev section. The one you posted in general isn't breaking rules(I don't think).
I know but I just wonder how many ppl like me who look at the general section about once a year... Idk maybe we need a deals and discounts subthread..

I haven't ranted in a while but this time it's due..
I really don't get you.. You start threads all over so there is no excuse for you not knowing that Questions go in Q&A. You must know the rules (at least somewhat) because you harped on Garwynn and I for going off topic.
It's people like you that tick me off. And I hope you don't come back with a reply like "I'm just a kid" since we have 13 year olds here who are developers.
You have started threads and people tell you to use the search function and you would have found your answer. Hell, you don't even look outside of the E4GT Section.. Just like your question on deodexing.
You've asked for help, I tried to advise on other issues and you completely ignore what I or any other very helpful replies you've had.
So to answer your question, here's the last spoon I give you. Congratulations, you've made the second person I've used the ignore button on.
Figure it out from here..
i searched the topic and cant find it. btw i meant to post in the Q&A. sorry about that. also im sorry about not listening to your advice on the GC01 thread. there was just no other way to explain it. and i would like a mod to please move this thread to Q&A.

Yes it can be done. It will require some foot work and very heavy reading on your end.
All the info you need to do it can be found (directly or indirectly) in this thread.

How to unlock my GS3 T999L (LTE Version)

any can help me to unlock my phone?? This Galaxy is from T-mobile. please any helpp!!
Have you read the T999L Info/FAQ and the Unlock threads? If a way is found itll be in both. Ive posted a potential way numerous times in both threads and only one out of several people claimed it to be working, so I highly doubt it is. (Other guys was probably already unlocked).
So youre probably gonna be stuck with paying a few bucks for a code online or trying to convince T-Mobile to give you the code.
Also, dont take it the wrong way, but there is already an unlock thread. No need to start yet another. Just like the other ones that got started people will start asking questions here that have already been answered several times in the main unlock thread.
Sorry I didn't have the answer you were looking for.
