Evo On Boost

Is there any I can use evo with boost mobile. I know a lot of people question this, but please. Prepaid is the only way I can have a phone. Thanks

nope sorry

Have you tried going into a boost mobile store (authorized retailer only, not corporate) and asking them to activate the phone on their network? You will NOT be able to purchase one from a sprint store unactivated and bring it to boost. You will not have 4G service, if you do a lot of people are going to try this and it will get fixed, so dont tell anyone if you do (except me).
A boost authorized retailer would love to do this for you because then he can pocket the normal subsidy on the phone which would be sold to you. Call a few authorized retailers and ask them to do this they should know how and be very willing.

boost is owned by sprint they would not allow evo on boost network

The easiest way to get a sprint phone working on BOOST isn't by calling them its getting a BOOST CDMA phone and activating an account or switching your Iden account to the new CDMA phone. Once you have that done you need to have the MSL code for your SPRINT phone and just reprogram it using your MDN which is your BOOST cell# and the MSID thats given to you by BOOST when you activate your phone. Once thats done the phone resets itself and your done, I did this myself and have had my Touch Pro2 working great since Feb. As far as the EVO i want to get it too so it should be the same with the exception of 4G which isnt even available in certain areas like here in NYC yet anyway but everything would be workiing norally in 3G and being that SPRINT owns BOOST i sure they'll be getting 4G really soon. Motorola already has an Iden android phone for BOOST so newer phones and way better service should be comming along too. I had my phone with SPRINT and now that im using BOOST i have the same service with a way better plan and for much less. So if i have to pay BOOST an extra $10 when they get 4G then so be it and i'll have a better plan with the same service instead of paying SPRINT at least $100/month with taxes&fees. Only disadvantage BOOST has is they dont offer a equipment protection plan other than that its much more economical

One sold on ebay for ~USD$1200
The only way to do it I know of is to change the MEID to one Boost would except.

Flashed EVO on Boost
my Evo is flashed to boost but my phone keeps getting a Data call error 67 when i try to update my phones data profile and PRL my phone also send calls striaght to voice mail when my mobile data connection is enabled Does anyone know how to fix this?

I imagine it won't grab the update/prl since it wants to get it from Sprint, but you are running Boost. When you are using data, all calls will go to Voice Mail, since CDMA doesn't currently support voice/data simutaneously. You can try to uncheck DDTM mode, this will interrupt data and push the phone call through. It will disconnect your data connection and resume it after terminating the call, however if you were downloading or doing something else, it won't automatically resume the download.
Menu---> Settings---> Call---> DDT Mode (uncheck box).

My phone doesn't have full data connection my phone wont stay on the internet when i receive a call and when my wifi is on my 3g connection gets disabled how do i fix this? does anyone know how to fully flash the EVO to run off sprint 3g too?

So wait.
You are complaining about the phone doing EXACTLY WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO?
You did do at least SOME research before buying this particular phone, correct?
And what do you mean "flash the EVO to run off sprint 3G?"
That's what it does stock!

Actually thats not what the phones suppose to do cause i know there's a number of people that actually got their EVO's to act like a smart phone on boost and not disconnect their data when calling. Did you do your research? i was actually hoping that someone who knew how to fix the problem would respond rather than someone with just a mere comment that says nothing.

Not possible.
There exists no CDMA service in North America that allows simultaneous DATA and voice.
In theory if you had a good 3g connection and was doing VOIP it could look like you were doing both

[Q] International roaming block

Sprint service is crap where I work (outer areas of Detroit), so I am using Roam Control for when I get near work. Most of the time I get a tower in the US, but every once in a while a Canadian Tower appears.
Sprint has told me to update the PRL (done 01115) and has tried to block the international roaming (didn't work), so now I am here to ask the experts.
Is there someway to prevent locking onto an International Tower?
I am running Syndicate Frozen ROM with Emotionless Beast Theme (which deserves more thanks than I could give, since this is how I figured out I was on international tower).

I think that your best bet is to enable the Roaming Guard.
Now I would advise you download ROAM CONTROL (http://www.appbrain.com/app/roam-control/com.vuvuzela.roamcontrol) and force the network to HOME ONLY and that might work out for you
Let us know.

I have and use Roam Control so that my phone will work at/near work which I want. I would say 95% of the time at work, I am on a US tower. I am just looking to prevent the other 5% from charging me International roaming charges.

When I am using it, it is on Roam Only.
When Emotionless Beast said "International" instead of its usual "Emotionless Beast" on the lock screen, I would think that somewhere in the programming it the phone knows where it is at, and am simply wondering if there is a way to block data while on international.

Not sure what it is all about. The last link in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13153111 talked about this PRL, so I manually loaded it.

Bumping, since my phone is seems to go into International roaming anytime I am at work now.
Staying on Sprint Network only is not something that I want to do. After paying a lot for the 4 phones I have with Sprint (and the fact I do not leave the US) I do not think I should have to pay for the Canada Roaming addon.
Sprint told me update the PRL ("to one that is greater then 64" was actual quote from the rep) and this will end me getting an International tower.
My PRL does not update automatically (don't know why, maybe due to Syndicate Frozen rom), so I manually updated to 60676 and still get the international tower.
Does anyone have any other ideas on what I can do?

If it is only at work you are concerned about maybe you can talk your boss and Sprint into setting up an Airave there so you won't roam at all.
Do you BONSAI?

Didn't think about that. I will have to talk to them about it.

So after many conversations with Sprint and many bill adjustments, we came up with the solution of turning off Data while roaming on my phone. This still allows me to be contacted by texting and voice.
Allthough still not happy that International towers cannot be turned off completely, at least my kids are able to get a hold of me.

Leaving sprint, want to keep my E4GT, what are my options?

Sprint has sent me a termination letter for excessive roaming and cutting me off July 3. This is probably for the best because my new job has 0 sprint coverage (deep inside a building) and i've been roaming on verizon for the last 2 months while at work. Anyway, I do love my epic 4g touch and while there are other phones that are now "superior" I'd prefer to keep it if possible.
So my quesiton is:
What other providers can I use with an E4GT, and how much work does it take to switch? (Flashing, odin, etc). And also, what would I lose in terms of 4g/3g/MMS, etc I'd prefer prepaid services like boost or cricket but of course, I don't know if they have coverage where I work but having all options on the table would be helpful!
Thanks in advance XDA!

I think it can be flashed to metro pcs, boost mobile, and virgin mobile. There's a couple threads around here giving you exact instructions in how to do so so check those out. I believe you'll lose 4g except with metro and everyhing else should be good.

Virgin Mobile is launching their 4G WiMax service at the end of the month. Something to look into.

Page Plus (VZW) is really your only option as the rest of the MVNO's listed here are Sprint. So same/no service.

Best off selling it and getting a new phone honestly.

I thought it varied by region for the reselling companies?

You can flash it to anything cdma. You would need a donor phone though. you would most likely only lose wimax.

Ok time to give it to you raw..... (No Homo!) This is what you need to do my friend, go to google type in prepaid services and your zip code. See what pops up for your area then make some phone calls to them and ask them about their service in your area. Secondly you can then go to all of their respective sites and check out the deals. You may find like mentioned that selling the phone and purchasing lets say a T-mobile branded Galaxy 2 and using Simple Mobile may work better for you.
I understand trying to ask your fellow members but honestly what we are going to tell you I am sure you already know. Lastly, check with others in your area and see if one of the other big 3 work extremely well in your area that you desire the coverage and then check out their prepaid services
T-Mobile - Simple
AT&T - H2O
Verizon - Page Plus
Sell your phone for $250 purchase another Galaxy 2 for around $300 or work a trade out with someone.... Time to do some homework my friend... Get close with Google...
Happy searching!

if u get good boostmobile covarage in ur area then flash it to boostmobile

So it seems the only cdma carriers that use/resell verizon are pageplus and of course, verizion. Can an epic 4g touch be flashed to either of those?

I currently have my epic 4g touch flashed to straight talk 45 unlimited on Verizon coverage way better than sprint faster data far as 3g goes around 1.5mb a sec and signal is awesome

Awesome! How hard was it to flash it to straight talk? Any links would be helpful! I've never done a flash to another carrier so i'm not sure how hard it is exactly. So so far to get verizon coverage I can use:
Verizon resellers that work on an epic 4g touch (flashed):
Page Plus
Verizon Prepaid
Straight Talk
Sprint resellers
Boost Mobile
Cricket
US cellular?
MetroPCS
Virgin Mobile
If any of that is wrong let me know.

I flashed mine to Page Plus. Followed this guide, talk text and data work, but I am still working on removing the hidden Sprint APN settings to get MMS working.
It might seem a little intimidating, but it was pretty easy.

If you dont have a donor phone thats ok, but dont expect to get full 3G speeds without it. If you use the vzw password, you get 1x data. At least I am not getting raped on the monthly fee, so I can save up for the S3 and will probably move to straight talk.

question is, if he had to roam at work because Sprint obviously did not have tower close enough, then wouldn't Boost be a waste of time because you can't roam with boost, or virgin mobile for that matter, meaning he would just not have service where he works.

Thanks for that link, its awesome. I will likely go the page plus route though after googling the new phones im on the fence now, lol. The Galaxy note may be coming to t-mo as is the SIII. I don't want to spend $700 on a new phone, but if I can get $275 for my E4GT i'd be willing to pay maybe $500 and just eat the difference. I have until about June 20 to make my decision. At this point it'll either be new phone or page plus / straight talk flashed E4GT. I am pretty sure sprint doesn't set my ESN to bad on my epic just because they are booting me. If they do I'll be pretty irate.

if 4g is available in your area you can purchase a modem for it (clear wire, time Warner,net zero,etc) and use its MAC addy on your et4g as to still have 4g, I'll edit my post when I'm on my laptop to link to the thread with instructions to do that....

Letter of death workaround...
Have the same issue, you may want to try and port to Google Voice, terminate your Sprint account this will automatically happen once a port takes hold of the account number. Let the account terminate; start a new line of service from one of the big three or back to yellow shortly after.If you love the E4GT, go back to yellow the next cycle with a new bis/indiv. account and port your number back. Not happy or locked into the contract just prl flash back to the reason you most likely got terminated and then go over to big red when the SIII is released. Done and done... you'll keep the same phone if on yellow with little loss, and no ETF...

Can you explain what you are saying more for me? im getting kicked off due to a roaming issue on the 18th (tomorrow) and this is my business number so i need to keep it, however the 2nd line is fine on yellow which doesnt make any sence since its a business share plan so they told me that i can keep the 2nd line but will need to go to another carrier with the primary, dont care for limits on data so verizon seems like my only option but are you saying to take the number back to yellow after switching to another? cause they told me i could try after the new carriers 2 year contract but cant gaurentee ,,,but i thinkk that might have been a wink wink in the conversation from the yellow lady. i wouldnt mind switching to ver. prepay with my E4gt just to keep things smooth for now so if anything can you point me to a thread to do this (preferably wo a donor but i do have an old verizon prepay, its the one that flips both regular and landscape style, so would this one work as a donor, it has been activated before tho....thanks

Run Sprint Note 4 off Verizon Towers

I know at one time this was possible to run a sprint phone off Verizon towers without having to do much to the phone. Is this possible still? I am way up north and I do not have great service and would like to do anything I can just to get better service

It used 2 be possible buy using certain verizon prl that would keep u in roam mode on verizon all the time but they have been kinda of forgotten or lost in the mix..i would search search and google for a while to find them they used be like 00001 00002 if i can remember also as far as i know i think freeza rom is the only one u can easily switch prl because it has prl write for a option but u may be able to do it the computer way search again thats all i can remeber .. sorry i just earsed those old prl from my sd card not thinking i would have a use for them. But many used them so they would get kicked off sprint for way to much of off network roaming, that might be the reason for them being hidden deap in the search world
