ok so i just sold my galaxy s3 boots mobile phone to someone and i need to make sure it can easily activate on sprint.
i know that sprint and boost are on the same tower and use the same freq. but i was just wondering do i need to change any prl's to do this or is it as is? i have been thought some other prl's before for other reasons and a believe i put it back on sprint or boost prl.
the esn is clean

hey im curious to know if the evo on boost uses the same prl as sprint users?
and if so can some one try to flash the verizon 0001.prl on their boost evo phone to see if it works...
im thinking about getting the samsung galaxy prevail by boost but i know they use sprints data and in my area all i have is 1x....
thanks guys!
It's a pain to flash back to a sprint rom just to update the prl so I'm going to assume some things here. Boost mobile users can't roam on verizon like sprint users can which tells me that using a verizon prl will not work. But maybe someone less lazy will try it.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I didn't know if anyone knew if you could take a Sprint branded EVO Design 4G phone and put it on Boost Mobile. I wasn't sure if they had some database of what ESN's are Sprint EVO Design's and what are Boost Mobile EVO Design's.. does anyone know? If so, if the Sprint EVO Design has a bad ESN on Sprint, would they activate it?
Yes interested in this as well.
I have an evo 4G and was wondering if you can just call boost when your term is over.
Would love to save the hassle of 'donor' phones and related processes.
message me for detaill i know he can do mostly any sprint phone
im currently running gs2 epic on boostmobile i can even say i get better 3g loll
also w 4g
I tried to call boost mobile customer care and activate an EVO 4g(not the design 4g) and all 4 times the took the DEC then told me that they are aware that people want to activate sprint phones on the boost network but an not compatible. (which isnt true) I told them that it was the new EVO design 4g and one time i told them it was a sprint branded phone evo.
chodey big balls

yes im wondering this as well but just want to know about the design. I have a 3d but I want to get a design for.my fiance if I can provision a Sprint design to boost without a doner phone.y
I understand what your asking.
No, I don't think you can use any Design, it has to be from Boost.

Afternoon everyone. I have a question I was looking for some help or direction on. I have 2 phones on hand one is a Samsung Galaxy s3 sprint version and the other is a LG Viper 4G Lte sprint phone. I bought the galaxy with the thought I would use it on one of the sprint resellers that allows bring your own used sprint phones like Voyager. They can activate all old non active Sprint phones. I bought that galaxy as the esn was clean but had trouble getting it on and come to find out its a clean esn but the phones imei is listed as active to an account still meaning I can not turn it directly on untill the last owner gets a new phone on contract to kick that one out or until the fill contract length it was subsidized on is completed which is about a year away still. That sais the old sprint branded LG viper I have is completely clean and not active on an account. My question and thought for educational purposes is can I simply just swap the imei number from the good to goo viper to the galaxy 3 and then be good to go or is that imei alaos attached to the esn? In that case Is it possible to swap all the info from one phone to the other including the lte 4G and then just turn it on that way? The viper I checked with Voyager mobile and they can turn it on no issue on sprints network. I want to use the galaxy on Voyager which is sprint but I would like it to have full lte 4G working. The Viper is also Lte and could be the donor. What can I do as far as options like this since Im using 2 sprint lte phones and will keep these on sprints network...? Thanks for ideas in advance.

No ideas or thoughts on this?
Hello, I recently picked up a Sprint S3 on craigslist that had been flashed to Cricket. I was interested in using to phone on Boost or Straight Talk.
I have been searching the internet for hours and I still haven't found the straightforward answer I was looking for.
First I made sure the IMEI numbers matched on the phone's software and physically on the back of the phone. Check.
Next, I used ##786# to restore phone back to Sprint specs.
Next, used DFS CDMA tool to update from Cricket PRL to Sprint PRL. (with the intentions of activating as a BYOP through the Straight Talk network, as the phone has a clean Sprint ESN. However, I guess BYOP through Straight Talk requires a SIM??)
So, the ultimate question.. is it REQUIRED to clone an ESN from a Straight Talk/Boost phone for me to activate my SPH-L710 on their network?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Sky

I'm not seeing anything on Verizon prl 59421 on XDA.
have you seen ? [GUIDE] How to manually change the PRL on the Sprint Galaxy S III by elfhater
Questions about this device should be asked in Sprint Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting or a related thread
I have seen it before but cdma workshop freezes up and the device disconnects from the com port until i unplug and plug it back in.
and would any mod who happened by please move this post to the right section. I thank thee in advance for doing so.

Moved.
I personally use the 56xxx series PRL on my Sprint devices, it's a Corporate PRL and allows you to roam on Verizon 3G.
I'm not 100% sure if a Verizon PRL will work on a Sprint device, unless it's been modified in some way, but that's above my pay grade lol.
Here is also a good thread for finding different PRL's
