I've been trying to find the files so I can flash my Evo 3D over to boost mobile but I'm not having any luck finding the files can anybody give me some assistance on finding the files or a possible walkthrough? I was inspired by this video on YouTube.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4tkrtzBjss&feature=youtube_gdata_player

actually you are wrong... the law states that you can not change the esn of a phone period...
In an Order, the commission adopted a rule (22.919) requiring that all cellular telephones for which type acceptance is sought after January 1, 1995, must be designed such that the factory-set ESN can not be reprogrammed. At the same time, the commission stated that it considers any knowing use of cellular telephone with an altered ESN to be a violation of the Communications Act (Section 301) and alteration of the ESN in a cellular telephone to be assisting in such violation. The Wireless Telephone Protection Act (Public Law 105-172) was signed into law on April 24, 1998, expanding the prior law to criminalize the use, possession, manufacture or sale of cloning hardware or software.
The cellular equipment manufacturing industry has deployed authentication systems that have proven to be a very effective countermeasure to cloning. Authentication supplements the use of the ESN and MIN with a changing encrypted code that can not be obtained by off-the-air monitoring.

How do I backup all of my flashed Boost mobile settings?
You folks seem to be a very knowledgable crowd, perhaps you can help me with this.
I just purchased an Evo 3d and had it flashed over to boost at my local boost store. Upon picking it up from them he went over a few things, most of which made perfect sense like not updating certain things because it will set me back to sprint but the one thing that did not is he said no hard resets. Problem being most if not every custom rom either automatically or advise you to do a factory reset from custom recovery. How am I supposed to flash my precious cyanogenmod with that hanging over my head lol? So I've been trying to learn how to flash using cdma workshop and qpst so that I can copy/backup all of the already flashed Boost info so that if things go wrong Im good. Also I hear some of the non-SENS based roms require little workarounds to keep data and mms going which also would probably require a copy of the Boost flash info. Things like the AAA shared secret and HA secret etc.
Any insight to this problem would be most appreciated!

Hard reset and factory reset are different. The factory reset option won't interfere with your boost service....After you flash a new rom all you'll need to do (w/every flash) is ##data# go to advanced scroll to mms url and change it to http://mm.myboostmobile.com or if you're not on a sense rom I think you can go to messages- settings-MMS-connection settings and change the MMSC field to http://mm.myboostmobile.com
That should be it...remember boost uses sprint's network so there is little to worry about as far as compatability.
Lastly to backup your boost configuration..get QPST and use that to read your phones current configuration (network Info) and then save it with qpst and you should be fine.

Mr. louforgiveno: First off thank you for the quick and diligent reply. Pertaining to backup and restore using QPST; should my phone loose its boost flash I would press "Load from File", select the previously saved QPST data file and then press "Write to Phone" and it will restore me to boost mobile settings?
I flash/wipe anything I want from recovery and I have a boosted 3d. I guess it wouldn't hurt to have a qpst backup but have never had anything happen to my boost service from flashing/wiping. I use apn backup n restore to restore boost mms settings after a flash, easy as cake. Ics u can't restore apn involves alil more work prior to flashing I believe. As far as the factory reset within the rom, idk, haven't come across the need to use it...

Lost flash after updating to 2.17 w/o HBOOT 1.50
So it finally happened, I lost my flash. Everything was going fine, even downgraded to 1.4 hboot using recent XDA method, but after that I saw an updated firmware without the 1.5 hboot update by xHausx and used it thinking it would be fine since all the other PG86IMG and RUU's have flashed perfect.
As I posted earlier, I backed up and everything with qpst and CDMA-WS but after restoring from backup it looked like it put everything back (it even said BOOST at the top) but I was wrong. When ever I try to dial out it tells me my account cannot be validated and of course I have no 3g either due to lack of service.
I've looked over every setting using every # code and I cant seem to find anything wrong with the configurations and APN restore does nothing.
I was very paranoid about modding a flashed phone at first so I was very thorough, besides backups I also took many notes on the info the # codes and qpst/cdmaWS provided before making any changes at all.
Which makes me ask if the fact that QPST keeps changing the ESN is creating and issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Where did that joker come from?
Here is a thread I started and had closed about ESN: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1685610
That explains it enough. Flashing to another carrier does not change the ESN. Boost, Cricket, MetroPCS allow non-carrier ESN's on their network, that's why flashing is allowed. You can technically flash a phone to Virgin Mobile, but, here is where the problem is: Virgin Mobile does not allow non-Virgin Mobile ESN's on their network.
Did that idiot get banned?

So.. I might be the only one experiencing this but i haven't had any data since i flashed asop newest rom... re-flashed, called vm, bought the new $199 phone, called again and they told me to wait 48 hrs..? Has anybody else experienced this dreadful b/s?
Thanks!
Did u have data before you flashed? Was your phone activated? What recovery are you using? If I recall correctly, in the ROM thread there are a few suggestions to getting it working again; such as going into emergency programming mode or something like that, as well as re-flashing the stock ROM, activating, then flashing.
Have you setup the APNs after flashing?
I use a tool called "APN backup and restore".
If the APN is already installed and not working, try switching to airplane mode and back.
If it is not installed, you will need to set it up either through you service provider or manually. (I don't know what your carrier is).

Lol well most everyone on here with the Optimus V will be on Virgin Mobile.
I had a problem like this - tried everything - reloaded old nand ... etc. A person on another board suggested installing a data switch app and turning it back on. I thought this was crazy but I did it (desperate) and it worked.
Sorry did not know that you have Optimus V. Any way most service providers have some way to send you the settings files. Some through a service request page online or an SMS no. To request the settings from.
I have seen a link on customer support of samsung the gives you manual settings for all networks around the world, I just can not find it now.

I'm having the same problem with my Optimus V, and looking on the interwebs it seems to be a known problem, that possibly affects all of Virgin mobile smart phones. I just end up going into settings and turning off/on the data connection. This always fixes it, until the next day or so when it happens again. Pretty frustrating. The LG forums even admit it's an issue and posted on this thread: LG forums about data issue but no actual fix as of yet.
And I'm actually still running stock on it, so it's not a custom ROM issue.
I have an Evo 3D GSM the thing is I can't get the mobile internet to work, wifi and internet pass through is working. Tried different roms, different radios, apn settings, hence everything I could find worth trying, but no joy. My carrier says there is no problem from their end. I am pretty helpless now. So I request for some help here...

When you said APN settings, did you mean you deleted the APNS which came with the rom and manually typed the settings of your network and maybe then rebooted to see if it worked??

I did find a few apks but I am hesitant to push any of it into my evo because in all the cases I have gone through they use it to get higher data speeds specially on sprint network. One, I am not on sprint and two, I am not having any connectivity at all. Ain't concerned about the speed yet. Can you be kind enough to guide me as to where I can find more info about this?
Btw thanks for taking out time and helping me out.
I have the cdma apk but I'm not sure if I works the same on the gsm. All the apk does is allow you to enter the diagnostic mode on your phone. The codes I posted earlier are codes/numbers you need to input into your dialer in order to access the diagnostic menu. Some roms have the newer apk that doesn't allow for the code to gain access so some well quite a few rom developer's include the older apk to allow the user to access the diagnostic menu. Make a backup of your current epst apk and place it on your sd incase you would like to revert. Then you can try out the apk you have found. Or you can download a gsm rom who has the older apk and extract it from there. This was what I was going to do just to be on the safe side because as I said I'm not sure if it's a difference between the cdma apk and the gsm apk. Then you can either push them to /system or if you have root explorer to can just c&p the apk and change permissions then reboot. As long as you have made a copy of you current epst.apk you can always revert back. Also as long as you have a nandroid you just restore.

I recently purchased an HTC Evo V 4G on Virgin Mobile. Otherwise known as the HTC Evo 3D (it even says Sprint on the case.)
I'm having this problem where seemingly at random I will attempt to make a call or a text and it won't go through. My signal bar will suddenly drop to 0 and when it comes back I am unable to do anything. No data, calls, or texts will go through. I am then forced to restart my phone (with Fastboot off otherwise I need to take out the battery) to get it working again. It's hard to notice when this happens unless I notice I'm not getting any texts back. At that point I call my voicemail to see if it works.
Was this a problem people had with the phone on Sprint? Is this new to VM and caused by that? I'm not a new VM customer either. I never have problems like this. I don't know if there's conflicting apps causing weird behavior, it's something on VMs causing the behavior, if this is a known issue, etc.
Any help or guidance I can get will be much appreciated.

I'm not sure about the error but I have had weird things like that (not same) happen to me since flashing the vm firmware from the leak and using an ics rom. Going to airplane mode and back usually helps me, might save the trouble of restarting.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
Same thing happening here!!!! I flashed the vm firmware so I'm guessing it's that
I've tried airplane mode to no avail.
I'm on Virgin Mobile... I wonder if it matters that I have a Sprint labeled phone? I assume that VM users are getting old stock of the EVO 3D and they didn't want to bother re-branding until they ran out. Which means that I'm in nearly the same situation: I have the EVO 3D flashed with the VM ROM. Maybe that's causing issues?
Try one thing, I believe I fixed my problem for now at least. Dial *#*#4636#*#* , go to phone information, scroll all the way down and the preferred network mode should be set to "WCDMA". Change it to "CDMA auto (PRL)" then restart your phone. If you are already on the one I'm telling you to change to then I got no idea. I was getting the exact same error codes as you and that random service drop, haven't had it since I made this change. Let me know how it goes

the same thing happened to me, and i flashed back to the sprint firmware using the firmware recovery thread, and that seemed to fix things, however i don't know what flashing sprint firmware is going to do

##3282# from dialer
go to edit mode and enter msl(use msl reader from market if ur rooted, if ur not rooted u will have to ask sprint for it)
hit menu at top right corner of edit screen "reset"
This will re-provision ur data profile with Virgin Mobile and clear out any hodgepodge. But if u bought the phone from VM and its doing that I doubt a data profile restore will fix the problem. I had the Sprint 3d and flashed the VM ICS leak and it caused the same problem for me and most of the other Sprint users that flashed it. I think it has something to do with how ICS interacts with the carrier network (radio interface daemon) hence the "radio interface resource shortage" error. Once once the developers realized the VM firmware was not need to flash ICS, it worked flawlessly with Sprint firmware.

I knew the first thing I should have done is root this phone... especially since I'm coming from an Optimus V that was rooted 90% of the time I had it if not more.
Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it!
I tried getting my MSL and was unsuccessful. Is this something phone specific or account specific? I found my MSL from my last phone since that's rooted.
I don't know if it's caused by ICS, my Windows setup, or what but attempting to finding my MSL was a hassle this time around. I can get pretty far into the steps but since the guide isn't written for my phone there seems to be something I'm doing wrong. I read through hundreds of comments and tried everything I could, too.

If u asked them for it and they wouldn't give it to you just tell them you are having problems getting your phone to access data and send texts with the network and can they walk you through how to reprovision it. They should tell you to dial ##3282# and enter a code. That 6 digit code they read out to you is your MSL. Write it down.

#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
Nothing seems to be working unfortunately. I've tried every method, read every comment, and tried anything I could. Thanks for all of your help. I realize that not many other people have this phone on VM but thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I will likely end up rooting when I have the time.
I was playing with the *#*#4636#*#* menu in CMX and changed my band to Australia. I then lost all connectivity but wifi. I figured I'd just nandroid back to my fully functioning CMX - I was wrong. After restoring the nandroid, the phone still won't connect to anything but wifi.
I then saw this post and flashed meanbean to use the Sense dialer.
None of the instructions worked! When I try to ##786# reset all my data, the phone will do its thing and then boot back up into meanbean and ask me sign in to my accounts.
The DEVICE_PROVISIONED=1 doesn't exist in my build.prop as seen in this post so I can't use the simple method. :crying:
Any help is greatly appreciated. I only have wifi while I'm at work, so in 5 hours I'll be screwed.
EDIT: Almost fixed it! I nandroided back to CMX and tinkered with some more advanced settings. I figured I can't hurt anything more than I have. It's now connecting to the network and 3G, but says it needs activated. Finally, progress!

...or move to Australia.
Seriously, I have no clue other than what I just read in the threads you posted. I hope you're able to get it figured out.

Thanks guys, I did get it fixed. Once I got some sort of connection reestablished I needed to activate the phone. I called Sprint customer service from my work phone and they refreshed all my data/connections. That allowed me to connect to the network, but not use it (if that makes any sense). I then downloaded the deodexed stock rooted JB ROM from here. After flashing that and booting into it, it said "hands free activation" and then starting updating the PRL before asking me to set up my accounts.
Hopefully my story helps anyone who gets caught up in this issue.
One more thing, upon reinstalling my cmx nandroid, I checked the build.prop file and it had the DEVICE_PROVISIONED=1
I changed it and that's how I got the phone to reconnect to the network (still no use of the signal though at that moment). That's when I flashed to the stock rooted ROM and everything was fine from there.

Hello. Im having problems with my Evo. 3g data isnt working. virgin mobile refused to help me because the guy i was talking to is either untrained or an idiot. but anyways i just activated my phone again after it was cancelled. i didnt have it activated for over 5 months or so so it got cancelled and i was provided a new number. before i activated it on virgin mobile again i was thinking of going to metro pcs for their 40 dollar everything plan. but didnt because i was unsure. I did change settings in qpst to match the settings of metro pcs phone settings/data settings and when i changed my mind i tried to flash it back to virgin mobile i messed up a lil and had to do the ##786#, menu, reset thing, to get my virgin mobile original settings back, so now the phone is activated but data is messed up. it dosent load pages or work period. the 3g arrows flash every once in a while but then stop. and i am on meanrom v4.5. just flashed back from jellybean the liquidsmooth rom. i am not quite sure what the problem is but i think the data settings are incorrect. when i go into ##data# settings in data profile it shows ""[email protected] . it seems everything else is mostly correct as far as i know. so if anyone can help me at all with data settings or anything else i would be very appreciated.and yes i tried updating profile/prl stuff and nothing. but thank you for any help at all.
Do a google search for flashing phones to virgin mobile. Does not really matter what phone the flash instructions are for as long as it is an android phone. Then compare the settings to the ones you have on your phone and make any changes needed.
Oh and next time before you change anything with qpst make a backup. With qpst you can read all the info from your phone then back it up tk your pc. Then if you ever need to go back you just open the saved settings and flash them over.

Ya I did that and all of the posts I found have outdated information. I called virgin and they told me to wait 24 hours and the problem will be fixed and that my programming information was correct. I'm not sure if they were telling me the truth or not but I had this problem before and switching to profile 1 fixed everything. This time its not working because profile 0 and profile 1 are exactly the same. I don't know what to do at this point. I was hoping someone with an EVO 3d or EVO V 4g working on virgin mobile could connect to qpst and give me pictures of their exact settings minus their account information and esn/meid numbers whited out. Since VM won't help me the only thing I can do now is ask for help from someone else.
seems like my 3g is working now. i flashed back to liquid smooth kit kat. wierd because i have used meanrom before on my account. so i guess it was meanrom messing things up. thanks tho.
