[Q] What will I need to get EVo working on my CDMA netowork.

Hi, I am currently in bermuda and I am stuck using my iphone... I would rather use my EVO. The CDMA network in bermuda is called Cellularone Bermuda.
www(dot)cellularone(dot)bm
I am asking what do i need to get my EVO working on that network.
it's 800mhz.
What other information what I have to find out and how could can i put it on their network.
Thanks.

bump? halp

Call them up and ask them to change your ESN. You'll need to get that from inside the phone under the battery (IIRC). There's a chance they won't do it because it's not their phone, but that usually is only between Verizon and Sprint. Smaller CDMA markets will sometimes do it.

ok, thanks! and what do i do with the ESN?

anymore help?

You give your local carrier the ESN and ask them to activate it. They may not be able to.

if they add your esn, thats all youll need (that and a reboot) theyll activate, youll reboot, and you should be all set.

ok, so i just went there and the phone seemed like it accepted my ESN and it made a "conversion" of it or something so it SEEMED like it was on the network but it stayed roaming.. i reread and she didnt restart is that imperative to it switching networks?

Also is the EVO locked to sprint? or is just as simple as an ESN? IF so do i just put a new rom to unlock it? which rom?

still looking for answer

After they get your ESN swapped over, you should do a factory reset ( you need your MSL for that, lookup those procedures).
THEN. update your Profile and PRL. You may get by without the factory reset if you just go do the Profile and PRL updates.

Ok So I call sprint and get my MSL.
How exactly do i do a profile and PRL updates?

hey thanks for reply. So i went back to the company got my esn switched over again and tried the prl and profile update that didnt work. So i did a factory reset and tried again it didnt work for some reason it keeps trying to connect to sprint network. the customer rep said the phone moved over to the network sucessfully. any clue? i got error 67 and error 1012 the second time. it's just keeping the sprint information in

Activating rooted Evo 4G on Cricket

I have a rooted HTC EVO 4G with Jiminy V rom installed and was going to flash with CDMA workshop, but before that I went to cricket to ask for a new line( I wanted MIN/MDN numbers). I have never been a cricket customer before.
My question, How do I open an account with a flashed phone? The guy at the store simply looked at my evo and said he could't do it. Am I suppose to use the model number of a cricket android to pose as mine in their database? He said he couldn't open an account without an esn of a cricket phone.
Thanks for any response
-edit-
I guess I need to have an existing phone line in order to port over the information and plan onto the EVO phone.
Is this correct? anyone

they're just being lazy and also want you to buy their stuff.(they tecnically dont support that phn cause they dont sell it and dont have a working rom on it)
you can activate online, over the phn. or goto an authorized dealer. (not a cricket corporate store, if they're the ones giving you trouble)
you need to fully flash your phn for cricket. and with cricket, your min/mdn numbers will be your 10 digit phn. number.

Yeah, thanks I ended up being able to activate with the android plan. Only problem i have is that the calls are sometimes sent directly to voicemail without my phone ringing and since there's no visual voicemail for cricket I miss calls for hours/days

[Q] How can i change from verizon to a carrier in India?

Hi, i just bought the phone off ebay about a week back.
through a contact my dad has in Reliance(carrier in India), i have somehow manged to get my meid registered., the phone has been rooted and is running stock sense 2.0 ROM. every time i go to wireless&networks and set the network selection to home only, i get no signal. putting it on automatic gives me a roaming sign on the network bar. dialing *228(while roaming is on) brings me to a reliance answering machine(?). after choosing my language, it tells me that my phone could not be activated.
please help. many people have manged to do this but im not getting any response from them.
thanks, Sid.

Dial ##778# and change settings manually. The code is 000000. You will have to change Home SID to the SID for Reliance and change MDN and MSID. If your old phone worked, easiest way is to change the settings to match your old phone.

I've tried dialing ##778#, but nothing happens. just takes me back to the dialer. should i change my ROM?

How about ##7764726#?
If neither will work, you might have to flash to a stock ROM. Both should definitely work from a stock ROM.

yeah, that didnt work either. flashing to a stock ROM. will post back if it works. thanks, Sid.

just recovered the stock ROM and ##778# works! ive also manged to get the prl from my carrier, but i dont have my old phone. i can probably arrange the the MID no.s etc, though. Also, i dont have to change the ESN, do i?

I think these are the things you will have to change:
MDN is your full phone number including area code. In the US, this is 10-digits.
MIN1 in the US is typically the 3-digit area code.
MIN2 is typically the 7-digit local number.
MIN1 and MIN2 can be different than the MDN, but that's very rare and usually only happens if you've had a phone number change.
MNC and MCC will need to be changed for your country.
MCC+MNC+MIN1+MIN2 = IMSI, which is the the subscriber identification for your cell provider so you need to get those 4 settings correct.
Home SID will need to be changed to Reliance.
I think MCC, MNC, and Home SID you should be able to get from any working CDMA phone that successfully connects to Reliance. Maybe get it from a friend or family member's phone. MDN, MIN1, and MIN2 should be the only things unique to your phone.
No, if your MEID is registered, you don't have to change it or the ESN.

hi this is vivek i also have a droid and it also has the same problem but the meid is not registered and it is rooted and has a stock rom but when i dial ##778# it juz come to the dailer so what shud i do pls help me out

MEID will need to be registered. There's really no reason to proceed if it's not, because the network won't see your phone.
##778# sometimes doesn't work on my phone, I often have to reboot it and immediately try ##778#. Oh, and you have to hit Dial after entering it. It will ask for a password, and that's going to be 000000.
However, without having your MEID registered, you won't get anywhere.

hi, make sure you get the a key. im having trouble getting that. last piece of the jigsaw i guess.

Usually a fresh activation doesn't require an A-Key, but if you change MDN/MSID too much, it'll trigger a security lockout in the fraud detection system, and then you will need the A-Key to reset it.
I don't know how it is with Reliance in India, but with Verizon in the US, you have to call a higher level tech support person to get the A-Key. One way to get around that, is to have the ESN/MEID on your account changed to a different device, and then change it back.

I'm trying to reactivate an old Boost-flashed Sprint EVO, can't activate

I have a flashed Evo that I used for one month on Boost mobile. I canceled that account and ported my number to Verizon PP (not important). Today I tried to port my wife's number from Sprint to Boost and use my previously flashed EVO as her phone. The number was ported successfully and the account is active. However, I cannot get the phone to work. I've tried zeroing out my MSID and MSN to initiate a hands-free activation but that doesn't seem to be working. I cannot make phone calls or access the internet without Wi-Fi. The phone is rooted, obviously, and I'm using a stock-like Sense rom that allows for the ## codes to work. Any ideas? I've spent most of the day searching, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

##786# will do a hard reset and will initiate OTA activation on a stock rom. If your rom is based off of a sense rom it should work if it has the EPST codes working. Did you try manually programming in the new phone number and MSID? (##123456# 123456 should be your MSL) you can get that info off of your acct on boosts site. Also, go to about phone, and make sure that MEID matches the MEID listed on your boost acct. As long as you have correct MEID, MDN (phone number), and MSID, talk and text should work. Also as a last thought what PRL are you currently on? It may not be connecting to sprint/boost towers if you still have a verizon PRL

[Q] Sprint Galaxy S3

Ok, so I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 [SPH-L710] that I want to flash to Page Plus.
I've looked through Google, and have it working CDMA - 1xRTT
For the life of me, I can't find a way to get it working on 3G
Every conversation goes to: PM Me
[but the Convos are about a year old...]
Or use a Donor Phone
[But my MEID won't Stick...]
I have the SPC Code, and the 16 digit passcode for my SGS3
[and for the donor phone, but I hear you can get it working with no donor phone]
PRL: 53269-page-plus-sprint-phones
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Pretty sure you should edit those pictures so they dont show your MDN (phone number), MIN, and MEID.
The few people who know how to get 3g without a donor don't want to share, so you will need a donor to get the keys or find somebody willing to get them for you.

Got it!
Ok, so you have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3, [SPH-L710] and you want to Flash it to Page Plus?
[I'm assuming this will work for ANY carrier, but we all know what assuming does...]
Take it to dealer and have the MEID activated.
Flash the PRL of carrier you want to switch to, restart phone.
You'll also need to change the SPC on the Phone to 000000
Here's the trick, you need another phone with the dial pad open and ready.
hold the other phones speaker to the mic of the S3
Dial *228 on the S3 you want activated.
When it asks you to press 1, press one on the other phone,
The S3 will hear the dial, and proceed to program it for you.
[Back in the day if you recorded the tones that were made from a payphone after paying, you could play it back,, it would hear the dial, and think you paid, when you didn't]
Now Flash a correct PRL [I have provided a copy I used for Page Plus]
No Roaming Signal
