Verizon Droid X to Boost Mobile

Is it possible to root and flash this phone to work fully on Boost Mobile (Text, Web, Calling, MMS, etc)? Boost can flash sprint phones to work with the service, but seeing as this is a verizon, how would I go about getting this phone ready to get activated with Boost either over the phone or in a store?
Thanks!

I am wondering the same thing as well.

Any Progress?
I even bought the full version of CDMAW to try to use the same donor phone I used for my HTC Evo 4G - and no luck (Cant make the changes I need to make) Any ideas. I won't get into the details as I am sure it will start irrelevant babble about Federal laws and such. I am not responding seeking moral guidance, Simply a sharing of ideas for educational purposes.
Has anyone been able to activate a Bionic on Boost? If so point me in the right direction.
Thanks,

Incredible on Sprint

Howdy everyone,
I got a verizon incredible that will be used on sprint. i keep reading other posts where people complain about roms with sprint remnants left over.
are there any roms tha ALL of the sprint provisioning apps are still in he rom?
my main concern is setting up data.
can anyone recommend a rom that is made for sprint or at least a rom with as much sprint remnants as possible?
thanks in advance

No ROM is made for Sprint because the DInc community is primarily on Verizon. However, you can try the port of the EVO Classic, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399512&highlight=classic
It might have some Sprint stuff leftover.

When the GB OTA first dropped it had a few Sprint remnants, the market had a Sprint link instead of a Verizon link and the build prop listed the wrong screen size and had a few mentions of Sprint. Verizon eventually fixed the issues and all the dev's updated their ROM's so finding that first original OTA will be tough as no one is around anymore and really not worth finding as it had so few Sprint things in it anyways.

Wait are you saying you want to use the incredible with sprint service, or use the incredible with vzw service but a sprint phone ported rom?
To the best of my knowledge the htc incredible will not work on sprints network, as the inc is a cdma phone and the sprint network is gsm. I could be wrong about that though.
If you want to use a sprint ported rom, your bes bet would be to learn how to use android kitchen and port a sprint rom of your liking to the inc. Its not likley any already ported ink rom arround has all the correct things needed to run on the sprint network.

And the Inc has almost the exact same hardware as Sprints EVO and that is where a lot of our kernels were coming from.

hello again,
sorry if i wasnt clear, i am using the incredible on sprint (currently voice/txt works but no data) so i was wondering if there are any roms for the incredble that are already setup for sprint? i know it is not a native sprint device, i was just hoping maybe someone had put together a sprint rom.
anyone else using an incredible on sprint? any advice on getting data working would be appreciated.
thanks again

No clue on getting it to work on Sprint, and I haven't personally seen any sprint ROMS. I'm surprised you were able to get it working on sprint. i thought they checked for ESNs before activating it. Perhaps fool around with the APN settings.

You are the first person I've ever heard of using the Inc on Sprint and there are no Sprint specific ROMs here. There is a thread on a ROM for MetroPCS and Cricket and I don't know if it would be of any help to you as it was only a WIP (work in progress and never finished).

you didnt tell me you were getting into this
only the 1x will work no 3g
but its not a bad little setup
its similiar to doing a boost flash if you dont have access to the secret stuffs
use opensesamedoor method
CDMA WS paid will give you some stuff too
you also wanna grab the profile 0 and 1 AAA and HA keys with DFS
once thats done you can slap them on your "fashed" Inc and get her done
man
you gotta PM me more often about this stuff i Love it
BTW
you should just go with the dinc2 you can set that up on sprint in about a hour

What did you need to do to get sprint service working?
I have an old incredible and LG ally that I would love to be able to activate on Sprint in the event that I manage to brick my epic 4g touch (which is an imminent possiblity what with the unsafe recoveries we have available...) were you able to do this solely from home or did you need to get a Sprint tech involved?
All the Sprint and Verizon techs I spoke to about this said that they are not allowed to activate off-network phones, and that their jobs aren't worth me having a cheaper phone (can't really blame them.)

[Q] dinc replacment

What's a good replacement for the dinc

I am waiting for the Nexus 4 to get back in stock. Going to run the BYOP Straight Talk plan on it. :good:

funny thing is that if you ask that question on a Dinc forum where people are still actively using and developing for the Dinc, the correct answer should be......another Dinc! lots of used ones on eBay for under 60$. Unlocked, Rooted, overclocked and running a better OS than Stock plus EXT4 fix makes this device still a usable device today.
but on a more serious note, me using the Dinc is tied into a couple of factors-that I am on Verizon and probably staying that way but might go to one of it;s derivatives like Pageplus Cellular. this keeps me in the CDMA/3G world for the time being so any replacement would have to be compatible.
seems like this question gets asked alot-what are some 3G VZW compatible phones out there? can you take a VZW phone and bring it to Straighttalk as easy as you can with Pageplus Cellular?

I am currently on Pageplus and don't have any complaints. I have looked around for a newer CDMA phone and the prices are crazy. The Nexus 4 is the best deal I have seen but I will have to switch to Straight Talk as it is GSM only. I don't think there is an option on Straight Talk to bring your own CDMA phone.

yes, that is my understanding on Straighttalk as well-they support sprint CDMA phones with some flashing or modification but it;s not easy. They want to push everyone to GSM.
So do you have a Dinc on pageplus? how is that working? was there any complications with getting it working on their service?

Pageplus has been problem free for me. The website can occasionally be a pain to deal with when purchasing more minutes is my only complaint. The Dinc was a breeze to port and everything worked without any setup. If you need any info on Pageplus, go to http://www.howardforums.com/ and look up Pageplus. They have lots of info.

I have two Dinc's on Page Plus currently, no problems at all, OTA programming was all that was needed. I've activated a bunch of phones on PP over the years, for myself and for friends, and compared to the hacking you used to have to do on 'feature phones' to get WAP access working, Dincs are super easy. I've also done a few Droid X's and a Droid X2, also with no issues. Currently, newer phones, in addition to being quite expensive, are also 4G, which makes them a pain to activate on PP and usually requires some significant hacking. Definitely do your homework before buying a 4G phone with plans of activating it on PP.

It depends on your plans. If you plan on sticking with Verizon you could go with the Samsung GS3 or the Note 2 (I think Verizon has the Note 2). If large screens aren't your thing you can go with the HTC Incredible 4G or Motorola Razer M.

just switched my GF feature phone on Pageplus Cellular to a Dinc I bought on eBay running CM10.1. happened easier than I expected as I was able to do everything via live chat without holding forever on the phone. text messaging seems to work including notifications. have it on the TNT 1200 plan, lets see if that will work for a month.

Cinci Bell SGH T999 Compatibility ??

Greetings! I am a new SGH-T999 owner, not through T-Mobile but through Cincinnati Bell. My previous device is the Sprint GS3, which I Rooted, Flashed, etc extensively, so I have some familiarity with this stuff, but there are some differences between the 2 devices that I have questions about.
My new device is a Cincinnati Bell SG3 SGH-T999 with T999UVDLJA stock ROM:
Is it reasonable to believe this is a T-Mobile variant and I can follow procedures and use ROMs listed for SGH-T999? For example, any reason I can not use the some of the preRooted ROMs, root66 or the Unified Kit as long as I pick the SGH-T999/UVDLJA?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey Jay,
As a former CBW user, I can say that you can flash TMo things and be fine. All you have to do is adjust the APNs from TMO to CBW. Go to the CBW support page, here is a link directly to it.
I used to have a Motorola through CBW and it borked out on me and they gave me a Vibrant as a replacement. I used my thumbnail to scrape off the Cincinnati Bell Wireless logo only to find a T-Mobile logo under the glass. I called bafoonery and then started to flash ROMs like it was my J.O.B.
A few things I suggest is to make a Nandroid of the stock CBW ROM (probably overwritten with scripts from a company called Ultramobile) and then put it on your PC just in case you have some warranty issues down the line. Also, if you ever need anything locally, just hit me up. I am pretty savvy at this and sometimes another set of eyes help.

ps- I would be intersted to know what your SpeedTest readings are if you could share them. Since we are in the same city and CBW and TMo share bandwidth, I would like to see the difference in speeds.

[Q] Help to root a Straight Talk GSIII?

Hi all,
I have been guided to this section regarding my Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy SIII because it's model number indicates it operates through Sprint. It is a SCH-S960L. I have had it for about a week. Came with 4.1.2. Does anyone have any information on how I can root this phone? I have searched everywhere and can't find any solid info about it.
I thank you ahead for any guidance you can give!
Lisa

Rooting for all S3 is pretty much the same. The thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38172219 has almost all the answers to questions you will have. #2 thing mentioned is rooting it will take you to the guide with video just watch the video several times read everything it's rather simple in less than 5 minutes you will have it rooted and custom recovery installed.

Thanks for the response, Ed. I haven't heard much other info about rooting this, so I appreciate the info. Really don't want to brick it, but I also am anxious to get rooted and set it up the way I want it....

Actually I think ST runs off Sprint. This was what I was told. I have this model as well. Please correct me if I'm mistaken. There isnt much info around about the SCH-S960L

you might be right but i remember a commercial saying that you get t mobiles national coverage... but you may be right

ST runs on the Sprint network.

actually, i looked it up and it appears it uses all major carriers... its a part of tracfone which makes it a subsidiary of a subsidiary... but tracfone has contracts with all major carriers

I was able to confirm this phone does run through Sprint, and got it rooted using Skunkape1's excellent rooting directions in the Sprint SG3 forum...

Yes the S3 through straight talk runs on sprint.... if you rooted, did you use a rom?

I bought my wife and daughter these phones through straight talk. The box had the red verizon map on it, and the network type is LTE/ cdma. I'm on regular verizon and can get LTE, but they can't.They stay on 3g most of the time. Sucks. But I am curious if you were able to find a rom to run after you rooted it? I'm not really satisfied with straight talk service. Family seems to have a lot more dropped calls than me. Anything that can make these phones more bearable would be nice.

Straight Talk doesn't "run" on T-mobile. Straight Talk is a Tracfone service, which depending on the specific device, runs on a variety of towers through a variety of companies. Verizon and At&t are the most commonly used towers.

Well, I finally gave up and put my family back on Verizon. Weird thing was when vz sales rep was swapping numbers, he put the straight talk phone info into the computer and it said the phone was using sprint and some verizon variant network for data.

Was wondering if anyone has ever found a rom to run on this phone. Friend wants the phone, but rooted.

I'm running everything (flashaholic) on my S960L. After I bricked I got it back to life and have been happily flashing since.

Yeah, I'll probably just sell it to him and be done with it. It's a shame straight talk didn't work out for me. Might have better coverage in a city. But where I live, it's crap.

Now on Verizon
The FIRST GS3 offered by Straight Talk WAS on the Sprint network. But after S/T got absolutely blasted by upset customers (and POTENTIAL customers) they finally pulled their heads out of their butts and now they offer a CDMA-V variant...that's VERIZON for those who don't know the codes. There is a code on the lower left corner of the packaging that will say CDMA-S (Sprint), CDMA-V (Verizon) and GSM which will be either T-Mobile or AT&T (not sure of the codes after the GSM as I'm not familiar with those, but the person in electronics would (should) know if you ask).
So now you can have one of the best phones on the market, behind only the S4, on Verizon's network. I got this phone the day after the Black Friday sales, and it still rang up at the sale price of $299. I was prepared to pay the regular price of $399 so you can imagine my surprise and delight when it rang up at the sale price. So what if it only has 3G. I constantly hear people complaining about this fact, so they can either have their 4G LTE on Sprint and get no coverage, or have a contract and pay 3 times what I pay, or have one of the best phones out there with 3G and $45 a month for everything unlimited on the best network with no contract. The choice seems obvious to me. And I'm an ex-Verizon contract customer. Our bill was just too high. I'm happy to pay more for a phone with no contract.
Now, hopefully somebody can answer my question...would it be the same process to root this phone as the one on the Sprint network? Is there any possibility you could screw up your phone with no chance of recovery? I would like to root my phone but I do not want to be in a situation where I'm looking at my phone with a blank screen and no way to recover, or it won't turn on or it changes to Japanese...etc...you get what I'm asking. If there's any risk I'm not going to do it, it just wouldn't seem worth it to me. But if it's something that it works or doesn't and no in between then I would like to try it. Thank you for any advice.

Wow! Great advice
