I recently joined this site and i have 2 Sprint Galaxy S3s that i'm looking to Flash to a prepay service. The wifeys and mine. I have searched all over this site for a complete guide to make this happen. I don't have a donor phone so it would have to be a plan that doesn't involve using a donor, if that's possible. Like i said i'm new to this but i really want to do this. I have a lot of patience and i want to learn. I live in PA so the main prepay i hear about is Boost Mobile(i have had before and truley would like to be on), Straight talk, or page plus i guess. Or if someone would be able to remotely help me out would be great. I've seen many mail in sites but the wifey doesn't like the idea of mailing our phones out. Plus no luck of local flashers that don't charge outrageous money. Any help would be great, Thank you.
First answer for you and any user is to read and study all previous posts about stuff on this topic. Using the search feature is a huge advantage too.
XDA is a sight for developers, development, and learning said development - it is not a support site.
Thread Closed.

Well guys, what forums are there for the Dash? I have been lurking around this one, modaco.com, and qusers.com. Any others I should know about?
howardforums.com is still the most active forum for the excalibur i've seen so far
under the htc, wm smartphone, and t-mobile wondows mobile subsections
Agreed, and I have yet to see a Excalibur specific forum similar to Qusers.........yet
dashusers.com...I'm working on it...need some moderators to help me out though.
I just joined Dashusers. Good to see it. I'll help if you can use me.
Thanks a lot for the support guys. I have been working a lot on getting it setup right. I am having trouble integrating the forums with it as my hosting service is being a pain in the butt. I am thinking of switching to another service altogether.
Whatever happens, it should be at least functional in a couple a days.
I finally got the forums working. You guys will need to re-register.
Thanks again for all the support.
Cool - I'll take a peek!
dashsmartzone is out there too.
There is also a forum started up called forum.dashsmartzone.com. It has a couple fairly technical Dash moderators targeting the finer points of the Dash.
Just wanted to say this is the BEST site on the net I know of for everything there is to know about HTC's like my 8125.My first post here was a dumb question that I had.It only took a few minutes to find perfect answer for it.I've only been playing around with upgrading my phone to WM 6 for a few weeks.When I came to this site...That has changed.I want to learn as much as I can about my 8125.I would like to replace the housing myself when I feel that I can do it myself.So that's it...Thanks to all mods and members for tons of info.
LOL
Glad there was already a thread for praise.
I had an Apache for quite a while before I learned just how amazing that phone could be. Now, I'm on to my Titan & am loving it. If I had to use the phone in its stock form, I'd probably hate it. With what I've learned the phone can do, I love it... and what I've learned, I've largely learned here.
XDA-Dev is fabulous.
Thanks to all!!!!
Welcome to Paradise! And of course Happy Flashing to all the new members!!
I Agree
What can I say...
This site is awesome, however I have also found that you get back what you put in.
Still consider myself a relative newbie but working on that thanks to XDA Developers
i've recently read an article about mobile phones and the scene in a local computer magazine and xda-devs was mentioned as the legend, bible, and all those super-uber-extra-mega praises.. ^^
Without Xda-Dev my diamond would be dead (or maybe just sold
Just have to sign up to thank you guys.
I have been five year Palm but had to jump due to a move to 3G Japan.
After two days I was about to smash my Diamond into little pieces, it was so unresponsive compared to my Palm.
Then I stumbled onto this site and was reminded why it is I chose winmobile, despite it being spawned from the beast.
It's because of you guys, the hackers and tweakers, tirelessly tinkering until perfection. If it wasn't for the tweaks and the utlities (like gsen) my diamond would still be a source of frustration than the delight it has become.
Once I get my finances in order I am definitely going to paypal some cash somewhere. I would super keen to donate to anyone making a system font manager, something that can cleanly link and unlink fonts.

This is one great site, it is a wealth of info and has got me on my marry way so I thought i best say thanks before I left
THANK YOU
Hi. My name is Joe and I just signed up here within the last few days. So I want to take this time and introduce myself to you all.
I live in Washington state of the U.S. 15 minutes South from down town Seattle. My wireless providor is Verizon.
I'm not sure why but ever since I went to see Depeche Mode August 10 and I lost my phone I have become interested in phones. It took me loosing mine to become really interested lol. So since about August 12 I have been researching phones to replace my lost one. I have learned a little along the way and I hope to keep learning.
Well I hope to get to know some of you as friends online and I hope I can keep learning and eventually in some way help others.
Joe

Hi buggs1a !
Welcom to the Site. I hope you'll learn a lot, and then you'll be capable to get a nice WM device and flash it at your convenience.
For everything you need, first step is reading the stickies in the top of forums, and the Wiki (that's the place where you can search into an encyclopaedic mode of the forum, where people posted articles about "what is" or "how to")
And I hope to find you at the Kaiser section, flashing ROMs and sharing what you enjoy. - yes, that would mean you finally get a kaiser or Tilt as your new phone.

Welcome to XDA mate. As Orb stated above I would advise you to check out the wiki for your particular device and read the stickies in your phone forum (top few threads in each forum - called stickies due to them being stuck at top of forum, and they are usually filled with useful info)
Also, moderators are here to assist, so feel free to ask a moderator for help if needed

[pointless boring intro, feel free to ignore]
Hello everyone, I have been following this site for a while, and I recently made an account so I could give feedback while I beta tested some ROMs. Well I can't post in the developer section yet so I thought I would ask a question or two.
[question]
So I searched the forums (I tried to be thorough but I am on the app so I may have missed the answer to this) and after being unable to find my answer I come to you community!
Does anyone know of a way to get a Samsung Epic 4G to work on Virgin Mobile? I saw some small discussions but nothing concrete.
I am curious because I have Sprint on my dad's plan (for I am but a poor college boy), and he sometimes forgets to pay the bill. I would like to get my own plan, but can't afford more than Virgin Mobile's $25 plan, but I love my Epic and VM is lacking the high end devices I crave.
So if anyone has any information on this, I would appreciate it. A tutorial would be nice, but I also want to learn, so even if a feasible means is not available, perhaps an explanation of why not is available. Also, if this is possible, what would I stand to lose if I did this?
Thank you for any future help.

I can't seem to find any info specifically on google or XDA towards this, so maybe Virgin Mobile isn't that popular to us high end phone techies?
Unfortunately I have no experience with this, but it has been done for the Boost network, so I suppose it could be possible. Check out this video on how to port it to Boost, maybe it can put you on the right track to getting on Virgin Mobile:
Switching to Boost
Again, no promises, but you wanted info.
Thank you. I believe I read somewhere that if you buy a Samsung Moment, and activate it on Virgin Mobile, then flash the Esn of that phone to the epic, it will work. I will check the video and see what I can come up with.

i highly doubt it seeing as the EVO isnt a gsm/SIMCARD (att, tmobile, simple) phone... its all CDMA/NO SIMCARD (sprint, boostmobile, cricket, metro, pageplus, etc) So u are able to unlock programming and activate to another CDMA carrier...whole other ballpark
To the best of my knowledge, no. The Evo has no simcard, so you can't unlock what it doesn't have. Just for future reference, this type of post should go in the Q&A forum rather than here in development. XDA tries to keep threads in here limited to active ROM development, ports and How-To guides. You will also get a more thorough answer to your questions over in Q&A, since people with knowledge will be in there looking to help with stuff like this. Posting in the correct forum will also keep your blister count down as you won't be getting flamed by the forum trolls. Hope this was at least a little helpful!
Pierceye that was awesome explaining how these forums work instead of blasting the guy. Way to often people around here are quick to jump someone's ass, some of us around here haven't lost our decency and remember we were all once new here.

Thanks twice! Trying to encourage a bit more civil attitude. Seems a shame to drive new people away before they even learn the ropes. No new people means no new ideas=Bad for ROM development!
