Hello and thanks for reading. I have a LG Optimus S running on Boost, I couldnt find the proper forum so I figured the Optimus V would be as close as I could get. I bricked mine, and got it back going flashing a new rom to it, but my IMEI / ESN and pretty much everything else is wiped / zero'd. I have all my info fixed but the IMEI and ESN now. I have it written down, but I cant find where in the memory it is to fix it. I have been using CDMA WS, but I just cant find the memory addresses for them, any help would be greatly appreciated.
So, question is: Where can I find my IMEI and ESN in the memory of my LG Optimus S (LS 670)?
optimus-s
could you tell me how to even get the optimus-s to change to boost?
I switched my sprint plan up with an evo and want to give the optimus-s to someone on boost , both of our accounts are good and my evo my optimus-s and their boost seek all are paid for and in good standing all three esn #'s are clean no stealing done.
This is where I am at with my setup:
Optimus's
rooted with clockwork
wiped and installed new rom
running reborn 2.2.4
obtained spc# and metro psc#
I updated the mdn and msid
and thats as far as I can find on the internet
sent u private message

First off, sorry for posting here, I am not sure where to post since there is no Optimus S thread. I am a third day Droid convert, and I have successfully rooted my phone and bypassed the Sprint ID (phone is not currently activated) I do have WiFi in my home, etc etc. I have been trying to use the various info I have found on Flashing my phone to work completely with cricket (especially since NONE of the local cricket dealers can flash it without bricking the MMS). Unfortunately, all of these guys are speaking greek to me. I have downloaded and installed QPST v2.7 build 3.0, and I have managed to set my SPC to 000000 using the CDMA workshop. Now, I have NO idea which PSL's to use for non-roaming, and no idea where to get them, and most importantly, I am completely lost on what I am supposed to be doing beyond this point. Can anyone help or redirect me to a more thorough walk through that does not assume I have any skill at programming droids?
Thanks in advance.
Here are the links I have been studying.
(Error420, not the guy selling his fix)
What are the MSID/MIN, Where do I find/install a cricket CAB or ROM and what is god's name is a PST/EPST?
Are all of these supposed to work on my LG Optimus S also?
Hi, I dropped my OV and it is randomly restarting or just shutting off itself so i took out my old optimus S and flashed it to use with virgin mobile. Texting and calling is working on the optimus s on virgin mobile, but I can't get internet/mms working with VM on the optimus s. It keeps popping up code 67 can not connect to data. I changed the build.prop to VM instead of sprint, prl is 60667 i believe. Also under about phone > status > network it still shows sprint. Could i flash IHO on the optimus S, would that fix apn settings? Right now im running Ggrom on the optimus s w/ custom kernel
nope.
you're probably not going to get 3g/1x data, or MMS, working, since your s has a different radio setup than the v.
you can't get a flashable v radio (boooo LG and VM) so there's no real way I've read to fix it.
My knowledge base comes from flashing a Sprint firmware (includes the sprint radio.img) on my old OV after there was no other way to unbrick, and lots of research about trying to get the data working again on it before I finally overflashed it (and now it no longer even lights up when plugged in, much less from the power button, no emergency mode, nothing.)
Dead as a doornail.
So VM activated an optimus S ESN on your account?
Interesting. Didn't think they'd do that. LG's online system at least can recognize the phone model just from the ESN, I'm surprised VM would activate that S!
search AndroidCentral for "change mip ppp settings optimus v" for a little more information.
If anyone has more experience with this issue than bigsupersquid, I don't know who it could be. Trust what he says above, he went through months of trying to get that OV working, and posted tons of relevant info about his experiences.
i flashed the ov esn and meid to the optimus s is why i was hoping i could use a OV ROM since the phone thinks its a OV. I have done some reading and people say they have ran the new screen stock ov kernel with an optimus s rom and everything was working. I'll play around with it and let ya know if i figure anything out.

there is also some info in this thread but it's kinda long. look towards the end.
Hi all
I wanted to ask all of you a question and see if you can guide me to the right direction. I have a virgin mobile Optimus V running bumblebee rom with clockwork mod. I wanted to upgrade my phone on virgin mobile to something newer and wanted to convert my LG optimus V to the Sprint Network. Is there a safe way to do this, and if there is is there any instructions on how to get this done the right way.
Also i might be wrong but not sure if the LG optimus s uses a different screen, but just looking for tips and how to tut.
Plus has anyone tried adding this to the sprint network and will i be able to add it once i convert it. do i just provide the SN of the phone or do they need anything else that the V phone don't have.
thanks for all your help
best regards

I doubt sprint will activate a virgin mobile ESN.
Call them and see if they'd be willing to activate your ESN.
You can flash sprint firmware to an OV, but there's no way to go back to the VM firmware, unfortunately. LG only released broken optimus V firmware files that won't flash.
Yes newbies do use the search button. I am also interested in the possibility of adding my Optimus V to a family plan on sprints network. Anyone have any luck?

Alright i have a Boost Mobile PAYGO account and i do not use data at all. I use WIFI when i need it. I'm currently using a HTC Touch Pro (no data as i said) and also have a Samsung Factor and Motorola W385 just laying around. What would be my best course to take in swapping the ESN and info from 1 of those 3 phones to my recently acquired HTC EVO 3D?
All i would need to do is swap the ESN and MEID since im not planning on using data....right?
Would the HTC Touch Pro be the best Donor Phone for me to use since its already in use and a HTC product?
I have the EVO to 3D guide (for Incognito and Rant) but would just appreciate the help on getting the info from the old Touch Pro.
Any help would be appreciated. Just need guidance guys. Thanks
Any help guys?
All i need to do is swap the ESN and MEID right? I'm not using Data so nothing else is needed......
I just really don't want to make a mistake and kill the "new" to me EVO 3D.
A PM would be fine if you don't want to be part of the public thread. I just need a little guidance. Thanks
Alright i've gathered just about all the information i needed to do this by way of searching google and help from other forums.
I was actually able to get my data working on the Touch Pro so now im thinking of doing the complete swap.
I only have 1 final question. When i go to get the NV Item data from my HTC Touch Pro donor phone do i read and save the data from 465, 466, 1192 and 1194 just like the Incognito, Rant and other donor phones? I mean are those numbers (or memory positions that holds the phone's data) from the Memory universal meaning they apply to any and all Donor Phones? thanks.
Ok so ive been looking around for a few months now since "the incident" for a possible work around and cant seem to find the answer i need. So ill post it here for the infinite wisdom of the users here !
"the incident" was this:
I decided to go with boost mobile for new service (yay!) I bought a kyocera hydro (79$) and activated it. worked great but then i decided to be smart and root it without a recovery for it (intelligent i know right!) I then decided to further my intelligence level by editing build.prop (remember the bit about no recovery?) Well now my phone is an excellent paper weight!
Well a few weeks pass and i decided to buy an evo3d (best purchase ive made all year btw) from amazon that claimed to be boost mobile ready. long story short it wasnt.
The question is this:
can i use my bricked hydro to flash my fancy evo3d to boost? the hydro was activated and has a clean esn with boost it just wont go past the boost splashscreen and when i connect it and try to adb devices it doesnt show as connected tho. Is there a way to get the info i need from the hydro so that i can flash the evo3d to boost or am i stuck with a useless phone and the evo3d with no service?
As long as you know the phone number and mdn (or was it meid..) from the Kyocera, you can clone the Kyocera that way both the 3D and the Kyocera have the same phone number, but i could be forgetting something
Yes u can do it. When using qpst u need to go to nam1 settings and enter directory number as ur new boost number, the there is min number
U need to call boost and ask for it. Then follow the metropcs flash guide for evo 4g.
The biggest ***** for me was changing meid.
Make sure ur using a newer version of qpst
So the open sesame door hack works when
Editing the 0 and 1943 files. Older qpst versions
Do not show those fkles in EFS directory.

Ive been able to succesfully change my mdn and min number via a dialer code ( i got the min # from a working boost phone. Believe it or not i checked several infact and they all have the same min number) :good:
The thing thats hanging me up is the guides a written using donor phones that are working so it tells you how to get the files from that phone to flash to the new devicce. But i dont have a working one but i have all the info for it that i need i guess. so the steps arent matching up. Like i dont have any nv items or w/e from the donor. Am i missing something?

I don't know! Is the hydro 4g? If not it seems like you would be better off to grab a incognito and pull the passwords, swap the ESN and save five bucks a month in the process!!!
