Hello, Ive been searching and reading all day and can't find a way to flash the HTC Evo 3d to Boost Mobile. I just bought one a few hours ago and it will be here in a couple days. I would rather not buy a tutorial or pay someone to flash it for me. When I had sprint I rooted and flashed my HTC Hero without any problems but that was easier to find info for. Could any please point me in the right direction. Also can it be done without cloning the ESN... would like to keep it as legal as possible lol.

Hey guys,
I am planning on buying a htc hero on ebay and putting a virgin liberty sim in (Virgin £18+ Unlimited data). However, it is much cheaper to get a htc hero that is locked to orange of t mobile.
I have seen a few threads around saying it is do-able, and some people seem to have problems. Basically i am asking if it is always possible to unlock these phones since i don't want to end up with a very expensive paperweight?
On my last phone (htc tinitiy) it was possible to unlock it via flashing, is this possible?
Thanks!
no DIY yet
there are companys that will give you a code...at a price off course
use search in these threads....or try ebay
i have moved your question to Q&A
thanks, i dont mind paying the price, is it 100% guaranteed to unlock though? obv as i have said i don't want to end up with an expensive brick!
I heard with some of the newer Orange Models that unlock codes don't work, however, Rebelsims do work.

Hello everyone,
It's been awhile since I was last here on the forum. I would appreciate it if anyone could help me out. I purchased a Sprint Touch Pro a year ago and was able to successfully convert it over to Verizon (loved the extra RAM). But I've moved on to another phone (and provider) and was looking to reset the phone to its original Sprint condition to sell on eBay.
So the question is this... what is the easiest way to convert my phone back to its original Sprint radio and firmware? I can't lie, I've forgotten most of what I did when I originally converted the phone. The only thing I see on the Sprint website is a link to the HTC website which gives you a maintenance release to the existing software. I'm guessing that's a no-go as I don't have the original firmware on the Touch Pro. I did some searching on the forum and wasn't coming up with much. I know this has been done before, but I guess I'm not pulling the correct terms.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Simply unlock it and flash back the Sprint stock rom. Tutorial on my signature.
I had given up on trying to do the same thing with my old touch pro when I read that I'd need some original keys that I had never written down. Is that not necessary? I'd hate to re-sell it to someone who would have to jump through special hoops to get it activated on sprint.
A little help... possibly?

Ive never had to flash to another carrier, however, I believe that the #'s you are speaking of will be updated with the Radio... Soooooo.... Unlock the phone via the unlocker, then flash the stock sprint rom (which you should find in the stickies) and the rom should flash the radio, if you prefer, you can then go in and flash your radio also.
Hope this helps.
Has anyone had any success in getting the Rogers EVO 3D to display incoming caller names that are NOT in the contacts list. Those of you on Rogers know what I am talking about.
I was told by Rogers and Best Buy prior to purchasing it that it would work and a phone call to tech support after buying it that it should work. I called tech support again today and the guy first said yes, then after doing some research he said "he googled it and it looks like Androids don't support this" so he really knew nothing about the phone and had no info about it.
I need to return this phone ASAP but I want others to confirm that it also does not work for them as well just so I know it isn't something with my line.
Works for me, have had the phone for 3 hours now and have gotten calls from outside the people on my contact list.
And you see their name and number displayed?

Anyone else?

I have never had this work on a cellphone on any carrier, I mean you see the number, but not the name: At&t, Rogers, t-Mobile UK, etc.
Rogers seems to be the only carrier that supports the feature, it costs $2 extra per month. if I place my sim card in my Nokia N97 it works and apparently it works on almost all Samsung phones.

I have seen a few people in the forum with Roger listed as their carrier and saying they have the 3D but I still have not heard anyone positively say that incoming name display works or not.
The feature is really important to me and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

grrr, now I am really upset because someone PM'ed me 1.5 hours ago saying they DO see names form unknown callers but I returned my EVO 3D 3 hours ago!!! I can still go to the store and get it back and return the SGS II I bought but have not even used at all yet but I really need full confirmation
Please help, I am in a desperate situation where time is very limited for me and I must act quickly.
Anyone and everyone in Canada with an EVO 3D on Rogers please verify for me that this feature should work, Rogers has no clear answers on this and I really love the phone .
hi i have bought htc evo 3d gsm from mobiles.co.uk in london. and i think it was sim free. i have been using it for some time but from some days i have rooted it and lost my official or shipped rom. and i regret it coz none of roms out there are good enough for me every1 is either buggy or watever.i am tired of reinstalling a different rom twice every day due to a different reason. so please if some one could share the rom i will b very greateful. i have been looking for it all over but cudnt find it.
I've had the htc evo og, 3d, and now (today) i'm getting the 4g LTE. I wondered in the past when i've rooted those phones i've used all sorts of different methods. However i've never used the HTC way to unlock/root the phone. I saw today where there is a 1 click root but it uses the HTCDev method. What is the diffence between the two? I am SLIGHTLY considering the S3 (both phones look nice) but will the HTCDev root keep me from being able to return the phone? Just wondered if anyone could give me any insight on this.
