Hi everyone,
I am a noob in this flashing world, but I am willing to devote my time to this. I am looking to get a nice phone to use at Pageplus. I found a good price for Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (Sprint version) ($145 total for a brand new one) and I am wondering if its even possible. This is a phone without any kind of contract to Sprint but I am guessing it is locked to be used only within Sprint network (correct me if I am wrong).
If you guys think that is possible, I am willing to devote my time (and money ofcourse) to make it work. I am pretty sure I will need help from you guys for silly questions and I hope you will go easy on me and looking forward to learning the process.
I am not exactly a newbie in terms of technology and actually code for a living, so hopefully this should not be a very difficult journey but I'll need all your support in this endeavour.
Thanking you in advance

Hi, all. I picked up a new GSII from USCC a few days ago and I wondered what exactly has to be done to port CWM and/or roms from the E4GT to our phone. I'm hoping that the process will be fairly simple since our GSII is identical to the E4GT, excluding the WiMax radio.
Bear in mind that I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 before you give me Windows answers. But any and all help is appreciated. Your positivity could be the help I need to become a real dev.
Until you guys get a kernel source drop (Sammy's too busy violating the GPL... again...), it'll be difficult to know what is and is not actually different.
You may get lucky and it'll primarily be a kernel swap and maybe a RIL swap - but not guaranteed.
Source has dropped on Samsung site https://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=list&menu_item=mobile&classification1=mobile_phone under SCH-R760U. Anyone give us some help on this, I'm also willing to give some porting a go, just need a little kick in the right direction.
Okay first of all hi this is my first time here so I apologize if this has already been posted (most likely has..).
I'm not a very patient person when It comes through reading forum threads hours after I've woken up.
Anyways~ on to my question.
I am looking into purchasing my very first Android (yay!) so of course I've done very extensive (sorta) research on the different OS versions and phones. I've come to decide that I am mostly interested in the new-ish ICS version of Android OS, however I am on a very tight budget for phone buying (I'm talkin' non-smartphone prices here...). I have decided to go the roundabout way and get an older (cheaper) phone off of ebay and root it to get the OS I want.
Now here's where I need some help, I am mostly interested in the Huawei U8652 (aka at&t's Fusion) and HTC Mytouch 4G Slide (PB65100). I would like the ICS ROM for either (preferably both :good and the Stock file in case I mess this all up.
Any pointers, links, and/or guides would be of great help! :laugh: and I will definitely credit you if it works without a hitch :good:
Please note that I will not even attempt anything until I have located the stock files so I dont end up with a dead phone.
Thank you so much for reading, and in advance for your help. :victory:
Side note: I am also open to advice on better phones that are not as new that would be better than the two I am looking at. My basic needs in a phone are a good camera, decent speed concerning apps, and wifi (of course). I am not a very patient person so laggy/glitchy/buggy phones are not welcome, thanks! :good:
me too..same question
Hello my mom owns a Sprint Galaxy Nexus. She has been using the phone on Page Plus for the past couple of months. I set it up for her using this guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696621.
I have recently acquired a Samsung Fascinate from my cousin. I wish to use this as a donor phone since the Sprint model only gets 2g without the 3g keys. I have searched for guides on how to extract the keys and use them on the Nexus but they are not written specifically for the Galaxy Nexus which uses dfs. All of the other guides are tutorials for different software. This has been bothering her for the past couple of months because 2g is painfully slow. I would really appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction or helping me in any way. Thank you so much for taking the time to view my thread.
Anyone out there??
Really? No one knows how to help me or even point me in the right direction? I realize that I may have posted in the wrong forum and someone is welcome to move it if it gets me help. I want to activate her phone but she isn't willing to accept 1x.
Really??!! THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP
Wow, I should say kudos to me for my thread getting 154 views and NO replies.:victory: There are hundreds of people on this forum that flashed their phones to page plus, some even used donors, but the one thing they all have in common is their initiative to help others.:laugh: Thank you all for the invisible, magical insight!:good: Hopefully I can learn from the MOUNDS of responses I have to sort through.:fingers-crossed:
Recently I've been looking into upgrading from 4.4.2 to at least 5.0 or latest but I rooted my phone so o.t.a no longer works. Rather than fixing that I decided installing it as a rom would be better in my case but I only have relatively basic knowledge of how all that's done and I don't feel like searching around the Internet and ending up with a half baked tutorial that will end up bricking my phone so if anyone knows how to safety do this help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
