[Q] Unroot to Transfer number?

Does anyone know if we need to Unroot this phone before we can transfer a number on to it?
I bought the new HTC EVO LTE and I want to give this phone to my daughter who has a Samsung Moment (still). I will unroot if I have to but just wondered if anyone already knew or tried this.

Historically yes. On my Evo 4g and Hero they had to be running stock for sprint to change the number. Unsure on E4GT but better to take it in unrooted just to be "safe".

You'd probably be OK as long as its on something stock touchwiz even if its rooted.

No you don't need to unroot if you do it yourself. Make sure both phones are turned off and the "new" phone has had a factory reset done beforehand. You can do it yourself online on sprint's site if you log into your account. If you have problems, you can get online chat with customer service too. Don't tell them that anything is rooted and don't act like you know a thing or two about phones. It shouldn't be a problem as long as you are on a mostly stock gb rom. This is in case they need to tell you to enter a code in the dialer screen to do a reset or change primary or secondary phone numbers or other misc things. No sweat.

Ok, here's the thing. I dropped my SGS2 into a drink. it was 99% covered. pulled the battery dried it off and it was buggy for 2 days but now every thing appears to be ok.
except it won't let me Factory reset/wipe data.
the option is there but when I select it, the phone just boots me out to the previous screen.
it does let me wipe the cache...
I even re-installed the Recovery and tried again.
side note: after the drink incident the yellow triangle went away on it's own.

Download an app called "Get My MSL", and write down the 6 digit code that app kicks out.
In the dialer enter ##786#, and this will take you to the reset screen. Hit menu, then reset, and enter in the MSL code they gave you. This will do the same as a data wipe / cache wipe, but will also clear your NVRAM, which is where your programming info is stored.
You can perform the device swap on your own on Sprint's website.
You will never need to unroot your phone.

No unroot needed like others have told you but you just need to be on a stock rom so that the ## codes will work when you are prompted to use them. Other than that you will be fine I have done it a million times online and never unrooted to swap esn

Everybody's on a custom rom in here...LOL

I was running Android Syndicate. I downloaded a stock ROM. and tried to transfer via the Sprint web site. Everything was fine until it told me I needed to pick a new phone plan.
I then opened a chat window and the associate transferred the number and add the the $10 fee to the account instead of picking a new plan.
my daughter is setting it up now and is very happy.
thank you all for your help and I hope this helps anyone else in this situation.
I now have an HTC EVO LTE so I will not be checking back in over here. Have fun!!!

Why mobile odin and then flashing el26cwm is simple and agat has made it pretty easy to get his nicely themed stock rom working on your phone. Hey do whats safe for you but I would say most are on custom roms in here especially with the loads of choices now out there for us.
"To each his own though"

Help! Phone not bricked, but won't boot.

Ok wasn't sure if I should post this in Q&A or Dev... but since it's a question:
"Can anyone help with this?" ..
Here's the situation.
Sprint Galaxy S3.. using Blazer ROM 1.6
Team Epic Recovery (non-touch), don't recall exact version
Everything has been fine the last week or so.
I changed 2 things earlier today:
1) Using NFC Task Manager, I enabled "NFC during AirPlane mode" after which it asked me to reboot. I did not at that moment...
2) I modified build.prop to change the default alarm ringtone.
I also did not reboot as I was about to make some other changes...
Since I'm at work, I got sidetracked, but noticed something since the phone was on my desk face up. It suddenly rebooted on it's own.
No big deal, I had thought... except it never came back on.
And now.. It won't boot up at all. I cannot go into recovery either!!
I CAN go into download mode... so I did so and tried to reflash recovery.
Still unable to boot up or go into recovery..(Phone flashes the samsung logo , then disappears forever).
I'm attempting to download the stock ROM via the toolkit and see if that will fix things, but without recovery I'm pretty sure nothing is going to work.
Has anyone seen something like this before? Where it will go into download mode but NOT recovery?

Try flashing the stock tar in odin if nothing else works.

Just flash the stock tar ur downloading in Odin. Ur fine even if you managed to Bork recovery as long as u can still get into dl mode ur ok

I've haven't seen this problem on the Sprint variant yet but it definitly sounds like it's fixable
Like others have pointed out, since you can get into Download mode fine flash the Stock Odin tar file found here
When you boot up I would consider doing a data wipe (Factory Reset option in Settings>Back up and reset) but that's up to you

Yep.. that stock ROM fixed it... now to 're-root' and reapply my ROM... fun fun fun.
I'm thinking that the build.prop change must have caused it.. will be testing that over the weekend to be sure

So far all is working and I didn't even have to wipe the data (actually couldn't at first because I couldn't get into recovery hehe) , and I'm guessing the build prop must have been because I did it on the device, and 'maybe' I hit a stray key or something.. usually I edit at home and push it to the phone but I was in sort of a hurry.
WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!
As I watched it attempt to boot up each time, I kept coming up with different excuses to try to tell the Sprint store

i flashed the .000001 prl and i lost service using dfs tool. i saved my original but i guess there was an error while saving. I was trying to revert back to original so i flashed the stock rom again and it didnt do anything i figured it has nothing to do with the rom. could someone help.
p.s i tried flashing different prls and when i go to about phone and status it still says 1

i reverted to stock rom and ran the prl updater and its still not working.

Download a new prl (25006) and rename it to TEST.prl and place it on the root of your sd card. Then go into dialer (be on a touchwiz rom) and dial ##3282#, go to view, then prl write. It'll load the test.prl and reboot. Should be fixed then.

Flash the attached one and it will get u back on sprint. update the prl in the settings once ur done flashing my attached one.
00001 is a hacked verizon one which is why you cant use the menu to update. If ur going to use a hacked one use 01337 it works best. 00001 is outdated. the ##3282# method only seems to work when it wants to i dont reccomend it especially for these hacked prls it doesn't seem to like them

thank you for the replies trying it now

i tried both options and neither of them worked its still saying PRL version 1 in the phone status

Just for the record I was having the hardest time getting this method to work at all not realizing the the prl's I had downloaded had to be extracted first maybe its a nood mistake but never the less havent had a problem sense and also data has to be off for this to work or at least it did for me. Hope this helps

It'll fail because his prl is Verizon only.

put the options under mobile network to cdma then write your prl or try cdma/lte then try to write it again that could do it another option is to use hidden menu app then choose efs sync i cant remember where it is exactly another way is to do ##786# hit reset then enter your msl

***UPDATED*** Dialer(##3282#) and power off issue resolved. Download Link updated
This is the official, stock, right out of the box, Boost MD7 in a flashable zip. This will unroot your device, and take everything back to the way it was when you got it. This will not, however, install a modem. Click on this link for the out-of-the-box, 100%, back to stock, TAR http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46366879#post46366879

Flashing Instructions:
This will NOT flash a modem. If you are coming from stock MD7, you will keep MD7. Same goes for whatever baseband you have right now!
1. Download zip to your sdcard

3. Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik
4. Flash zip
5. Reboot
6. Profit
Issues:
Issues:
1. When you go to power off, it freezes, vibrates twice, and reboots. Seems to be a bug with the power off option. ***FIXED***
2. The dialer won't go into ##3282# mode. This is a Boost variant, so changing your MMSC URL in order to get MMS isn't necessary, but just wanted to let those on other carriers know. No solution yet. ***FIXED***
I do not claim to be the expert on anything, especially development issues. If you notice issues, please let me know. And if you have a solution to one of the issues I've found, please, by all means, post it and you'll get the credit. Enjoy
Note: It seems when rebuilding this to fix the issues above, I've lost the "rising orange Bs" boot animation. There's still boot-up sound, and the blue Samsung animation, but no Boost-specific. If you want it, you can get it from the previous build If I get time, I'll add it back in manually, but frankly, I like not having it there, it seems to boot a little faster

That is correct. Just as GC01 was Boost's JB version of GB27 for the E4GT, this is Boost's version of Sprint's MD4. Exactly the same firmware, just built for the Boost Variant.

When I got this phone a couple weeks ago there was very little dev support for it(the Boost variant) That is why I built these and did it as a "devdb" project for that exact reason, to improve it as updates become available. Awesome that you are helping out. Would you mind sharing the official MG2 and I can lend a hand however I can.? Maybe root it., add busybox, deodex, debloat, etc

I am on boost mobile so I'm looking for a way to get the shutdown and bootup animation/logo and sound to boost not sprint....as of right now I have the sprint shutdown animation, and bootup just shows the swirly blue Samsung stuff. If I recall right with boost mobile, didn't the s3 come with a like orange 4g animation on bootup?
I'm not apposed to moving files where they need to be but I don't have any of the files so I will also need those.
Any help would be appreciated.

That's the file I flashed. It has the sprint shutdown animation/logo. I'm on boost mobile.
The name of the file I got from that link is called COMBINATION_L710VPAMD7_L710SPTAMD7_1154085_REV03_user_low_noship.tar.md5---Extract_with_7zip.7z
Extract the zip file, which is a tar file for odin
Open Odin
Connect the phone
The phone shows a com port
Select PDA slot and browse where that tar file is
Select start and it flashes, then reboots.
Unless I need to un-select auto reboot, then enter recovery and clear cache and such and factory reset.......but I thought that's what this did according to looking at the lines, it shows it formats data and clears cache.

This isn't 100 percent helpful but there is something that needs to be changed in the build.prop that will actually enable the proper file to be played I don't know which line it is but that's what I recall somebody saying way back when
Edit:
It's stock for multiple phones so it has all the files for all the phones... I think it's just that boost is not the default setting

Hmmm...MD7 is definitely not a Sprint rom. MD4 is. I'm not sure why it's giving you the Sprint logo. I'm out of ideas...I know I've flagged back to it. If I get time I'll tinker with it some, but crazy busy, so no promises.

4.3 has real bad issues with phone calls for whatever reason it's like it's muffled or the sound is extremely loud and distorted so I'm going back to 4.1.3. So that's why I'm after this project.
I don't mind editing it myself if it's not to awfully hard to do.
I have decompiled and edited apk's replaced icons that I personally wanted to used and re-compiled them for my personal use, so I'm not really scared or a stranger to stuff, just not sure where exactly to start or what file/files to play with, or even where said files are at, or what lines to edit.
Perhaps I could get some help with the file names, and then replace the lines with those file names so they line up correctly...if someone would care to semi-babysit with me .

It's easy to edit. Just a matter of finding the right line and knowing the right variable.
If you don't mind having a sprint boot animation ,then flash it and all will be perfect.

Well for me I don't mind, but returning it to boost, which will in turn send it to samsung......samsung knowing it's boost and it having a sprint logo, might have a bit of an issue with it and it would draw a red flag.
Otherwise I wouldn't even worry about it.
My hopes are that I will never have to worry about sending it in. This is more a "just in case" scenerio

[Q] I messed up...... please have mercy?

Ok so background... I used to alway be android... rooted the works.. used to be really into it... then I got pissed one day at my android after it restarted taking what would have been like a nobel peace prize winning picture from inside a blackhawk... Literally... I almost threw this thing out of the doors from 3000 feet.... so next day i went to iphone. Fast forward 3 or so years...
I got pissed at iphone for sucking and releasing crapy phones without working bugs out. so I decided this time i was going back to android for good....
Two months ago i bought the Samsung Note 4 from sprint through their cut your rate in half plan... ($39/mo for unlimited everything... how could i go wrong?!)...
Took her home and started googling how I was gonna root her and get native hotspot for free.. cuz who pays for that ****... Learned what i needed to know (really refreshed my memory as i have done this in the past...) Flashed myself a new ROM and all was good in the world. Rooted and had my native hotspot.
Well, went to go use private mode and it didn't work. Back to the drawing boards... read a few things read the fine print and the ROM I was using didn't support it. No big deal, just gonna look for one that does... Found one that supports and read the page... well, I decided to do this after working all day and i was sick of being on the computer i just wanted to get it done, clicked the link downloaded the ROM I needed and loaded it.... as soon as it said done I realized... I messed up... I thought i had clicked sm-n910P... I clicked n915p..... quick search shows thats a note edge... so i download the correct one and flash that hoping I didn't **** anything up... WRONG.
Heres the problem.
My touch screen works FLAWLESSLY using the s-pen. perfect response, accuracy.. the works. When i use my finger, it responds.. sort of. The top left of my phone is spot on. as you move down and right, the cursor actually moves FASTER than my finger. So by the time I am 3/4 of the way down and to the right of the screen the cursor is actually already in the bottom right hand corner. Making texting or anything IMPOSSIBLE... now, I'm not a CIS major by ANY means and I avoid technical terms sometimes because I don't FULLY understand what some of it is. That being said, I am a tech savvy person in general, just not so much in the software dept. I'm more of a hardware person...
Question:
Did I mess up the phones HARDWARE.. Like would the digitizer be toasted? i figure that is a one way device so i don't see how that could be the case.. just throwing it out there... or did I fry something else? Anyone have FULLY stock EVERYTHING that i can flash onto this thing... (ROM, Kernel...) I found a stock ROM online to load but it isnt the same one and it didn't fix my problem. No i don't have a back up and yes i know shame on me...
Deets:
SM-N910P
Software Version: n910PVPU1BOB7 - last ROM i loaded hoping to fix the problem....

Use twrp 2.85 for recovery. It's better for me. Read up on how to Odin the stock tar. Should fix it up. Be sure to do a full wipe of everything not on your xternal SD before odining.

I followed the little instructions from the .tar
if by "wipe everything" you mean clearing the cache and doing a factory reset yes.

My advise would be to back up everything with titanium backup to your external card, and start from scratch. If you are on 4.4 right now, download a program called SPCUtility to get your msl number. Load a stock tar, either nk2 if you want 4.4 or bob7 if you want lollipop (my recommendation). Once you load the stock tar with odin, reset the who device by going into your dialer and dial ##786#. It will ask for your msl number and ask if you want to reset. Say yes, and you should be good to go. At this point, when you phone restarts, get to the home screen and see if everything is working. If it is not, take the phone to sprint and let them fix it or replace it. If everything is working, you can root the device, and if you want to load a new rom, you can.

There is literally nothing on the phone right now. i don't care if anything is backed up... the phone was bascially stock to begin with and i have my contacts and everything saved through kies. im on 5.0 i guess technically... can i still get my MSL?
I would have to Root my phone again, load the SPCUtility, get my MSL flash the stock .tar (any idea where i can get a better one? the one i have isn't the stock i knew)... then follow the rest of this?
BTW thank you SO much for helping me out. I appreciate it. A LOT.

The only way to get the msl number is to call sprint but if you just got the phone they probably won't give it to you. So the other option is to flash this stock tar to go back to 4.4. Here is the tar file for nk2 and bob7.

Go back to nk2, root and intall SPCutility and get your msl. Then flash bob7, and then use the msl number and ##768# and reset the device.
