[Q] Flashing the Samsung Epic 4g Touch to verizon prepaid? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hello there, I would like to apologize in advance for any mistakes in this post. I am new to xda-dev. I got an epic 4g touch currently working on PagePlus and I've been looking for other prepaid carriers that allow unlimited data. I did a little browsing on YouTube and came across a video of the galaxy s II ( epic 4g touch) working on the Verizon prepaid with data, mms and everything else working. Of coarse they had a link to a website that does remote flashing but they charge over 60 dollars for the service. I've gone to several dealers and they only offer me PagePlus and Revol wireless. I am a little tech savvy and understand my phones settings. Is there any way or "guide" i can flash my phone over to the Verizon prepaid wireless without having to pay a big amount of money for it?
Thanks in advance. :good:

Pm me. i can help you out

epic 4g touch
I would like to know how to do this too. I have spent so much time trying and I cant get the HA AAA keys to stick.

Is this just an issue of rooting the phone, or is it more than that?

[Q] HTC EVO 4G - Verizon wireless service, data working? few questions

Hey Guys, Me again anybody have talk and data working on Verizon service? i got data 3G nice and fast way better then sprint. but talk has a akey problem i assume. which isnt a big deal cuz i use it mainly for data. just want to know what the deal is. verizon cant fix it OTA and i know why but has anybody else done this??
thanks alot fellas
You need to call Verizon and ask for a new AKey, obviously you got around the fact that the Evo technically isn't in their database.
Once you get the 26 digit A-Key, plug the first 20 digits into the AKey calc in CDMA Workshop. Add the ESN and make sure the the checksum is the same as the last 6 digits of your 26 digit AKey.
It will calculate a 16 digit Hex AKey and you write it to your phone. Boom, done....now your phone is authenticated and you're ready to rock!!!
By the way, I could use the Data settings for Verizon, I have talk and text working on my Evo 4G on Verizon but not data, PM me if you can share. THANKS and GOOD LUCK!!
thanks for the info brother, check your pm
Good info, thanks guys. Just out of curiosity what ROMs are you running on your vEvos? Did you have to mod the roms in any way to get them up onto verizon?
im running the MikG-v3.0-signed Rom its gives me the best access to ## codes. i have to be able to set Diag mode. some of the other roms dont have support the codes.

I too have a EVO on Verizon with data not working
the mic g rom seemed to be based on sprint kernal and had me roaming for it to work..... it got so late last night I gave up
any ideas ? any custom verizon based roms yet ???
please someone pm me with a solution
it was actually super easy to "port" the droid Incredible rom to the EVO back when I first started making the Jiminy rom.
All I had to do was swap a couple files/drivers for the hardware buttons/lights and replace the dINC kernel with an EVO one and the rom was ready to go. The hardware between the two devices is practically identical.
that would give you a rom designed for the Verizon network.
Actually, with that said, any dINC rom could be ported over using the same techniques for using an EVO on Verizon.
Help ! I am in the same boat, I have an EVO on Verizon and the internet stopped working.... Whats the best rom to run ? As the stock factory one always said
the phone was roaming...... I am really in a jam on this one
Have you tried doing it via WiFi?

[email protected]
pretty soon they going to start selling phones that can be used by any carrier without the need to flash or root...Phone Security methods have failed dramatically. and now cell phone carriers are doing away with imei locks, by 2014.. Its true now that if you sign up with sprint or verizon with a lost or stolen phone that they wont turn your service down with the phone but offer service at an extended fee.

I guess they make more $ sending u a replacement phone and activating the stolen phone for a new user... they make $50 to $100 on insurance claim, then whoever wants to get the blocked phone turned on they charge $50 on top of whatever other fee

I'm a sprint customer and my who is on verizon wants to use my old Evo 4g because his phone is all beat up and he wants a newer looking phone. You mentioned that you didn't have data working but text and voice was working. Did you ever get data to work? and maybe you can share the steps you took to get the Evo 4g on verizon because refused to help him in adding the ESN to their database.

[Q] Epic touch 4g ESN

I bought an S2 on craigslist (probably sounds familiar) for $100 only to find out that it was too good to be true. The phone wasn't stolen (I later confirmed this with sprint), but the jackass didn't pay his bill. Anyways, I'm somewhat familiar with rooting (rooted my E3D), so I was curious what steps I would have to take in order to get this bad boy working (sorry someone else was irresponsible sprint, but I'm not). I have a couple of junk sprint phones laying around the house, so I'm ready to experiment. Also, does anyone think it would be possible to flash it over to US Cellular? Any advice would be appreciated!
Flash it to Cricket or Metro, it's not getting activated on Sprint until the bill is paid.
I think Boost mobile is another option too.
There are posts here and there about porting the E4GT over to third party carriers, some are very detailed. Search for 'E4GT Boost Mobile' or whatever carrier and see what comes up.
---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------
Or you could resell to one of the developers here so they can test software without having to fry their own phone.

I doubt it. I didn't have to search hard to NOT find a single thing linked to this phone and US Cell so bets are that they are not a CDMA carrier.

I found this on multiple sources; US Cellular (3G - CDMA2000 800/1900 MHz)
I'm thinking it would be possible since they're on the same frequencies, but I'm a noob when it comes to flashing.

Got me there then. But, there still isn't any information concerning porting a Sprint E4GT over to US Cellular that I can find. Unless you can find a howto guide out there somewhere, it's going to be next to impossible to do. Maybe somebody will chip in here and let you know.

The lack (ok, extinction of) results on google is what prompted me to post on here. Glad it's got some attention, hopefully someone has a solution for me...
Please tread very lightly when talking about flashing cdma to another carrier. I know it can be done and is done everyday but talk about esn spoofing and such is illegal and can not be discussed on xda.
I know someone has a blog relating to the matter.. but linking or discussing the matter is forbidden on xda..

i would like to know as well, having a nice phone on verizon prepaid for unlimited talk and data for $50 would be the cool. i would switch from my 0g 4g metropcs $25 mo. unlimited 1x in a flash. get it,flash
i wondered about this a while back when i first seen verizon had unlimited prepaid, i called everyone to get the details and low and behold verizon prepaid xustomers service said you can only use the ones they allow you too use and they are non android phones. lol figures they want the prepaid people from otjer carriers to switch and at the aame time not lose any of their own android paying cuatomers. paying like $125 or more/mo.
Hey if anybody knows please tell me how to get the HA and AAA passwords from the Pantech Caper without the newest CDMA Workshop PM Me
Sorry guys i just edited it i meant without the newest cdma workshop PAID. I only have the cdma workshop 2.7.0 cracked
Best place to ask those questions is in Howard's forums thats the place to be at.

What he said there is a guide in the page plus fourmunder handset technical page 14 will get you 3g if follow that guide
Thanx you guys that will help with the data but all i need to know is can i u QXDM to get the HA and AAA shared Passwords from the Pantech Caper
Ran into an issue with the Caper. I would appreciate 64-bit drivers for windows 7 on the caper i already tried the Verizon access manger way. Or do i need to downgrade to 32-bit?
I wouldn't think the caper is a 3g phone, I flashed mine using a LG revere and got the keys by using a fascinate.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Lol even that way I'm stuck at 1x so I gave up and used the fascinate with the 50$ plan its so much easier but if u pm me on how u are getting it working I would greatly appreciate it
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Do any NVItems need to copied from the Caper for it to work. Does anybody have the full guide?

Donor phones to flash evo 4g to BM

Hi guys, I'm about to cancel my Sprint account and root the evo to boost, the incognito/rant are no longer on sale except on eBay. Which of the newer cheapest phone from Boost I can use as a donor???? I am afraid to get a used one from eBay thinking it might not work. Thanks in advance.

I've gotten mine, always used incognito, from craigslist. Doesn't matter what condition the phone is in as long as it powers up and can connect the usb port. I've done it with the Evo and the E3D. I want to try one of the Galaxy phones next but haven't gotten my hands on one. Good luck.
I've done two now with the incognito and their both working fine.
Technically you could use any 3g phone, it just may be harder to get all the info you need since most of the directions are for those 2...
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks guys, so I won't matter if the incognito has been used as a donor before?? does it has to be an incognito from Boost or any other carries who might have sold it.:good:
It has to be from boost. And it can ONLY be used as a donor once at a time.
Meaning, say a buddy uses it to flash his evo. If he's still using it, you can't.
So if your buying one, make sure its a clean esn and activatible.

Just change the phone number on the Incognito it will assign new HA/AAA information.

But that doesn't matter. When you clone the info to a new phone, its always going to use the same unique numbers. The HA/AAA are only the passwords needed to access the information.
The esn/meid are unique and only 1 phone has those numbers. Its like a network mac address.
So no, you still can only use a phone once at a time. Otherwise, I could sell just the numbers off my phone all day long.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2
I'm not talking about multiple people using the same information.
I'm talking about generating new HA/AAA information so at least he would know there's no way for some else to have it like the guy he bought it from.
By activating the phone you know if its in use or not.
He wouldn't be able to even activate the phone if someone is even using the MEID or ESN.
Can't you just call boost with your evo's ESN and they'll put it on their network? No need for a donor if so.
Some people claim they have but their official policy is against it, most have said they've been denied and I haven't even tried.
They can tell what ESN is coming from where Boost and Sprint ESNs are not considered the same in their systems.

To my understanding after reading a few blogs is that you can't do that, it will seem doable because is basically the same network(Sprint) but aparently is not possible therefore the need to flash.
Update
Just to update there are some other phones that can be use see this.
I was able to get a brand new incognito from a Sprint Store in VA, I spoke to one of the managers and they're getting rid off all the old boost mobile phones, I got mine for less than $30 they can even go lower If you buy in bulk, I thought about buying them(they had about 20) and reselling them on CL but didn't do it(not enough cash).
Anyway I completed the flash and now I am using my 4G Evo with boost, I am down to $25/month, I got the Pay as you go plan $.50/day unlimited web + $0.20/minute call. Works great for me since I don't use the phone to make calls, mostly text and web. Running ICS ROM of course with no 4G, I was paying about $93/month with Sprint.

Suspended Note 8.

I am on Verizon Wireless. My wife has the Motorola Moto Z Droid, and their is a known battery issue with the phone. The only way she can use her phone is if it is connected to the wall. So her friend gave her, her Verizon Note 8. However, upon testing it is suspended. Is there anyway to get around this such as new firmware, rom, etc? I wouldn't even mind taking over the payment's, but i'm not sure if that can happen.
Thanks in advanced.
EDIT: The Verizon Galaxy Note 8, that was given to us, is suspended from Verizon's network due to not making payments (i believe) is there anyway I can get it activated on my plan? When I check the IMEI on swappa, it claims that it is clean. However, when i tried to activate the device on my account it said it was suspended. I am trying to figure out if there is anyway to get around this..?

its the same thing as when a car note payment or payments aren't payed as agreed, they attempt repossession but in the case, they suspended until payment agreement or plan is resumed. best just to call and face the music. I have found that when you seemingly face the issue, they just want an attempt for you to contact them, hence the outcome is better than any legal ramifications. I assure you that attempting to switch carriers with throw a flag because current carrier must release you first then all else will work out
Verizon suspended acct
Call Verizon and tell them you bought the phone from a pawn shop but are unable to activate it and see what they say. maybe they can take the lock off for you. Doesn't hurt to try. All they can say is no.

that's very sad and wrong for someone to present a smartphone because they got suspended, and it sounds like a sad ethical issue more than technical. only until prior carrier lifts the suspension will it become able to activate enough to get it working. Whoever the carrier will need to lift it first. Its the same thing as putting a BOOT on a tire for parking tickets.

i had an overseas account breach my cable tv acct and slapped 6000.00 of iphoneXs in my account, and all were SUSPENDED, virtually unable to transmit data or activate. The fbi investigated and caught them. my issue was a breach, this issue here is easier to resolve and hopeful OP doesn't have to pay to lift suspension.
