According to this guide you do need a donor phone.

Hi a friend of mine wants to trade his Epic 4g Touch for my Evo Shift. I'm pretty sure it's worth the trade but before I do I wanna know what's possible on it first.
What all carrier(s) can the Epic be flashed to?
What's the best performing/fastest carrier available?
And is the flashing process easy?
Thanks in advance

First he's either trading off a bad device or doesn't understand his E4GT is superior in all ways to the Evo Shift.
Get the ESN and call Sprint to make sure it's clean.
Make sure he hasn't damaged it in any way, internal or external.
There are several Galaxy SII's so check the model number. Ours is SPH-D710 which I think can only be supported by Sprint, although it seems like there's a post somewhere about flashing it to Boost and US Cellular. (Found the links)

Keep in mind phones that run on Sprint can not run on AT&T or Verizon networks. (I stand correct, thanks booksyx) apparently it can be flashed to Verizon.
Flashing on this phone is super easy so long as you read and follow all instructions and when in doubt, ask questions. There are several incredible ROMs currently for this phone of both Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich flavors. Read in the development section to see for yourself.
The post above me has many incorrect statements.
The epic 4g touch can run on almost any CDMA network. I currently have mine running on Virgin Mobile. It can also be flashed to boost mobile, cricket, metro pcs, verizon, etc.
They key to getting it working on those networks is to have a donor phone where you can extract all the NAM keys, esn/meid, and data keys and flash them to the epic 4g touch. Really isnt to hard once you have all the keys to write them.
My epic 4g touch has everything working on virgin mobile. Calling/SMS/MMS/3g/Wimax. However you will have to go elsewhere for a wimax solution. Best part is I only pay $25 a month for all this!
The ESN is clean and it's also relatively new. Not 100% sure what the exact model is but i'll find out when he gets off work.
The whole reason he's making the trade is because EVO is his favorite phone. He was going to trade me his iPhone 4 for my EVO but then I found out that even if I flash the iPhone 4 that Data and MMS dont function fully. So I didnt want that.
But If the Epic is that much more superior that makes me want it more now, as long as I can get it fully functional on a prepaid service that is.
I wasn't aware there was so many different versions. Because he didnt tell me it was an Epic, all he said was Galaxy S II. So I ended up posting in the wrong forum. But his is Sprint though so everyone said it's an Epic 4g Touch.
That's good that it's relatively easy to flash. I personally prefer boost, but whatever is fully functional and runs the fastest
*Edit
Does every carrier require a donor phone to Flash to?

Many incorrect? lol I see one (oh make that two, didn't know that about Verizon) and that's why I said thinks like *I think* as in I'm not 100% sure, just going on what I've recently read here on XDA.
Thanks for clarifying that though.

You need a donor phone from Verizon.

Ok and what a do with the donor phone?
Research what a donor phone is, and that will bring you all the information you need to know.
Sent from my Blu Kuban powered Epic (4g lol) Touch
or just pay 50 buck to a buddy of mine he will do it all you need is a usb a phone a working computer
If you have metroPCS service in your town, you can also flash it to metro- text, talk, mms, web, gps all for $40 a month. I also think you can for cricket as well. Both are pre-paid carriers- no need for a donor phone.
Thank you for the help,but I will glad if you send me a tutorial in how to flash it to Verizon,due to there is not metro PC or cricket in my area just Verizon prepaid.
Epic 4G Touch
Hi I flashed my Epic 4G touch to Verizon prepaid but It keeps saying roaming whats up with that everything Is working perfect but it says roaming witch probably is not a good thing??
Since the Epic 4G Touch is out for boost now is it going to be pretty straight forward or will i still need a donor phone? I have never flashed a phone before amd am a bit wary. I'm currently paying $80/mo for limited service and would like to move to Boost. Every tutorial I've read about flashing to Boost are almost a year old and outdated, can someone point me to a more recent tutorial? I am rooted and using calkulins ICS rom if that matters. Thanks in advance!
*edit* I guess I should elaborate on what I meant about outdated, I meant that the tutorials were made before the epic 4g touch was available for Boost. Anyways I've already had my sprint service disconnected due to it being on my now ex-girlfriend's plan.
I currently have an unactivated HTC Droid Incredible 2 with a good ESN that is rooted with S-off and would like to use it as a donor phone for PagePlus 4G to 3G programming. Does anyone know how to repair the ESN for this phone. I think it's possible to do this with DFS. Please PM me. Thanks.
