I know most of us here use the 3VO on Sprint and some on Metro PCS and Cricket. I am going to be traveling to India for a bit and I was wondering if I could flash the 3vo to a local mobile network in India and not have to pay Sprints $2.79 talking fee.
I've googled a bit and found that people have activated their phones on Reliance CDMA but they do not say how they have done it.
So does any one know how to flash to Reliance CDMA ?
what's a 3vo? is that like a car?
Idk doesn't sound like an easy task, do they have gsm over there? Probably be easier that way

You do realize that once flashed to another network won't be able to flash back to Sprint due to their policies.

Nope. T-mobile is GSM. Sprint is CDMA.
It wont work with tmobile but maybe you can get it to work with metropcs or even boost.
Although I hear there are some legal concerns about doing this..
You need to buy the EVO 3D from Rogers Canada

Don't go with Tmobile unless you have to, I have had some bad experiences with them.
Tmobile = FAIL!
Sorry,
You can't. T-mobile needs SIM card slot, Sprint does not. You could get the sensation, a replica with out 3D and half the amount of RAM.

If you search the forum a bit you can find threads on how to do this. I'm sure I've seen a thread or two on metropcs and evo 3d.

yeah i saw it too. but i think you cant get mms on it thru metropcs. i hope i'm wrong. i'd love to move from my $55/month (taxes included) on tmobile to $40/month with metropcs. i'd be happy.

I know this must have been answered before but I am not able to find it . You are a senior member can you kindly answer or point me in the right direction?
What are the steps to unlock my Sprint EVO 3D and use it with MetroPCS?
Does rooting mean unlocking?
There seems to be two types of rooting soft and hard, which rooting is required or unlocking?
Thanks

It's not called unlocking for Metro, Unlocking is a term used for GSM Phones.
You are wanting to FLASH to metro pcs. From what I know there is some CDMA workshop trickery involved, and I believe you DONT need to be rooted for it to work although I could be wrong. Also btw ROOTING ≠ UNLOCKING
Metro is garbage, if you want the best, pre paid , its page plus, 45- buck a month with unlimited talk text and 20mb internet but best part is it uses verizons service
Which in my case tops any pre paid plan by a milestone

lmao...what good is that when u got no data? not only that but PP needs a verizon esn.....if there was a way to change the esn on the evo 3d u think people would pick PP over boost? metro roams off of sprints towers. u can actually load a sprint prl into any metro phone and it will work. anyhow metro is great cause u get unlimited data, even if its slow u still get data and all ur apps work. yes you can flash the evo 3d to metro pcs, its same as flashing any other phone. u need cdma ws to change the passwords and all that stuff the m.ip and the ppp. i sold my last evo 3d on metro pcs alsmot fully working...mms is not working. im getting another evo 3d in 4 days ill see if now with root theres a way to get mms. all apps work on metro pcs.
google: flash evo 4g to metro pcs and its the same settings. u will need cdma ws 3.7 its worth buying it
U can get unlimited data for more money.

Can this be true?? How can we then roam from tower to tower??
I know my Epic was able to be used with boost mobile, virgin, etc. I wonder why the Photon is not? Hmm..worth looking into I guess.
Out of curiosity, how probable is a usa gsm unlock, I would gladly switch from atrix to photon.

i agree with this
The USA GSM towers are blocked from being used by the photon. And other CDMA towers are used for roaming.

As far as I know not the Sprint Version as far as the gsm Evo 3d I don't know. The radio's don't work and I don't think even if they did Verizon would allow it like the little guys do (coughs boost cough) Even so the Boost network is Sprint's that they pay to use. I do know that Verizon PRL works on our phone but it counts as roaming and sprint will give you the boot for using it too much. I only use it when I visit my father as it's the only way I can get a signal and use it SPARINGLY until the wife and I drive home.
No, you can not.

I think technically speaking, the CDMA EVO 3D will operate on Verizon's 3G frequencies. WiMAX will not work through a Verizon account.
In order to get the device to operate mainly on Verizon and be registered to a Verizon account would be another story and process .. not sure Verizon would support or faciliate this process, let alone allow.
Hope that helps!
Thanks for the responses. Looks like I will jus get a new phone lol =)
Redd3VO
No worries, if you're getting a new phone w/ Verizon I'd say sell your Evo3D for about 250-300 on ebay/craigslist and then wait for the Galaxy Nexus.
Or the Rezound.
Or the RAZR.
Some nice phones are comin' out on VZW this coming quarter...
AND they just updated their data tier plans; doubled every plan's data for the same amount of moolah.
I got my Evo LTE in and wanted to know if it is capable of being flashed to work on verizon. Family member has a verizon account and I wanted to get my phone (EVO LTE) added to their account.
I saw a video on youtube showing it was flashed to verizon prepaid but I wanted to do it for post paid. Also that video was a sales ad and not a how to. Is this even possible since its a new phone?
Most likely yes but I doubt if LTE works. This phone is currently flashable to cricket, metro PCs, and boost mobile.

dont need it to work on lte. 3g evdo is fine. i can get 2mbps on that and thats more than enough for now.

Ya its technically compatible, if you can jump through the hoops regarding their ESN datanase. However, LTE will NOT wotk, there's no need to guess. This phone is compatible with 1900MHz LTE, Verizon uses 700MHz (one of the reasons it achieves such great penetration).

Sure if you want 3g speeds then yes you need a Verizon donor like the fascinate. Plus you need a cheap Verizon prepaid phone. One that's not activated yet. You can a fascinate that's currently active just have to back up its settings so you can restore it when your finished with it. But the prepaid phone needs not be activated

Do you have any more information about how I can go about doing this?
It's is possible it would require a reprogramming of the DSP. This has NEVER been done other than MTF.
If someone can obtain a similar phone with the SAME chipset on Verizon it could be cloned.
Don't hold you breath, but I think all LTE chipsets are capable of the entire spectrum meaning it's software.
Any word on this?
I'm also looking to switch to Verizon and I don't like any of the phones in Verizons line up
Would Verizon be able to do this for me or is this something that I have to do

Is it possible to use the incredible 4g LTE on the sprint network??? Just got this phone from a friend and got it rooted and everything. Was wondering if I could use it for my network which is sprint for a few weeks before I go out and buy a iphone??? My phone is trashed so I was gonna try and use it as a temp until then.
