Hello xda. this is my first post so I apologize in advance.
I spent about 30 min reading post trying to find one to match and did not find anything.
I have a HTC Evo 3D that I want to put on to boost mobile. I'm wondering if any has herd of this working yet. or are we all playing the waiting game?
less important details
I will not be doing this my self. I know some who says they can. I just wanted to be sure that its possible before I pay and put a small risk into it. the esn is clean as well
any thing with post i should know is welcome and I will be more than happy to fix it as soon i know about it
i just got one myself clean esn and i can find readable addresses ??? pklease advise
Have you asked the company its self? Boost is a Sprint company and uses CDMA. If they say no then I don't know if the temp root would allow the carrier unlock or you may be able to use QPST and program it.

Thanks for.the reply but boost will not activate this phone I have to have the readable addresses so I can do my thing if anyone knows please addvise thanks
You cannot "flash" a Sprint android device to boost. What you are asking to do is illegally clone a esn/meid of a boost mobile phone and illegally change the esn/meid of the ego 3d to that of the boost phone... This is a very gray area you are treading at best

I did this for someone last year with their EVO. It's technically illegal, due to cloning, but the info is out there. Good luck.
Have u tried to have them activate the esn WITHOUT telling them its not a boost phone? Do u have cricket in your area? Theres no need to clone the esn unless boost refuses to accept esn's of non boost phones

IM NOT THE ONLY ONE TREADING but thanks for the heads-up just trying to my thing thats all this is a non-profit venture aka solo=mine thanks to all and its only a matter of time
ya id rather pay sprints monthly bill than break the law... (funny how id rather break the law then pay for music tho )
the friend i talked to said he has done it before (with the 3d), and he just called sprint up not boost. i know this person has tech know how and i trust him about 95%
but there is that little voice inside my head says its easy to run with my phone....
$25 for 45 a month with out breaking the law and risk losing my phone
or~ $90 and put it on sprint....
does this sound worth the risk to you guys?
also my shift key is "broke-ish" am going to have a grammar lecture if i get a little lazy?
its a minor annoyance to get it to work and just don't have time to really fix it atm
I went with my mom to MetroPCS and the dude there had an OG Evo 4g flashed to MetroPCS. He claimed he still had 4g but that's total bull****.
I had my og evo on metropcs....i dont know how true it is that its illegalbecause metropcs itself will flash almost anycdma phone to work on their network.
To the last poster, that dude was full of bs. The evo has internet/data, mms, text, voice. No 4g is possible because metropcs has lte and evo is wimax.

If I am not mistaken it should be no different than putting a OG Evo on Boost since all they are doing is changing your ESN to a workable Boost Mobile CDMA ESN -higher end phone. Make sure you check what phone they are using to change your phone to Boost. A crap phone gives you crap internet connection.

why you say hes bull**** it's very much possible, illegal yes but here's how one will get 4g
get a working 4g phone (one that is active with sprint) and backup wimax keys and copy the wimax mac address
then take the nonworking phone in his case metro one and restore the good wimax keys to it; then change the mac address to the good one
so.. before you call people full of **** do homework
edit
now about the 3d; problem is it has a mechanism that detects memory reads / scans and then locks the memory from being read thus the reason you have no readable memory scans

Wouldn't that require someone to still be paying a sprint bill to remain active on the 4g? Maybe I missed something.

yes you are correct it will still require someone to pay sprint or clearwire
but if you have a family member who has and 4g account you could use theirs and what most people don't know is that the 4g(data) can be used by both parties at the same time not esn/meid thats different subject

Ive heard talk about "cloning" a ESN to a hpone with a bad esn. I have a Sprint LG Optimus S, and I need to use it with BoostMobile. Boost uses the sprint network for thier service, so transferring the phone should not be a problem, I just need to know how to get it "cloned" correctly. If anyone is able to help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks from Ohio!!!
While I cannot go through the exact process I will say cdma workshop. I know for sure you can use that to help. Maybe qpst? Definitely google will be your best course on this one. Just remember to type in either qpst or cdma workshop in your search

The problem with that is a lot of folks sell the donor phone to someone and rip em off. Which is why it causes a lot of issues for folks. Legal issues and stuff.
Sprint may never clear a bad esn. But if its due to a payment I'm sure if you paid they would work something out.

OK here is the full guide on how to get your Razr fully flashed to Page Plus Cellular.
I'm assuming you know how to get your shared secrets using a donor phone. I will not touch the topic of using a donor phone to get your shared secrets.
If you don;t know how then google it. This guide will show you how to get full 3g, talk, text and mms.
The thanks button is to the left and so is the donate button. This guide took time to make. Enjoy! If you have any question leave a comment.

I used QPST to do this phone, and others, just ignore that.
Hey Nevell, you got a way to do a razr on ics to pageplus yet? I have seen a few tutorials but they seem to all use the newer paid version of workshop. Is it possible with just qpst if I am on ICS Razr?
I am still using the phone on verizon, but called page plus and they assigned a number to the esn and gave me a SID number when I told them it was on Verizon but I was planning on flashing it to page plus soon so I think I am able to get it to page plus...not sure if I need to do something else.
If ya have some time I would gladly donate for some help. I can purchase the full cdma workshop also if needed, I just want to get this to work so I can save some bucks on my VZW bill. I'm pretty knowledgeable with this I have attempted a few times and would like to make the switch from VZW asap as I am month to month, but no luck while using trial cdma workshop or using qpst on ICS Razr.

Yes I can get it to work. Most of my ICS customers are getting 3G but some of them only 1x. Guess it depends on the mood your phone is in.
I would definitely need 3G. I see some guides that say solid 3G on ICS but they seem to only work with paid version of workshop.

Dial*#*#4636#*#* go to phone information then scroll down to network type and make sure it's set to CDMA(auto prl) if it is then set it to CDMA only. Hit turn off radio then turn it back in and wait to see if days kicks in.

Thanks will try it in the morning. Will let you know how it goes. Also got 1x working with the sim in if that means anything. I normally do sprint phones to ppc. Theese 4g verizon phones are a whole new ball game for me.

Go to haward forums there is a full tutorial there that works perfectly. Not sure what the hell is going on over here and why they are deleting threads. ??
So if you set the phone to cdma only on custom ics roms will it get rid of the sim card notification or do you need a blank sim card?

I know this has GSM bands, has anyone gotten this working on ATT or T-Mobile, and if so, do you get HSPA + or is it just edge?
Just EDGE. It only got the 2100 band for 3g m, no 1900 for att nor the 1700 for T-Mobile.

im on an at&t sim on the rezound getting the H and on occasion H+.....requires alotta work to get it this far and works from 4.0 to 4.3 roms
Edit: Also to the users saying that there is no other bands just thought id let you know the rezound untouched doesnt have these bands....however it does have all bands usuable in the device they are just locked via hex code in NV... im still looking for the proper code for full 4g / lte and to fully unlock the Rezound and it just not being "globally unlocked" for edge speeds only. as stated i have gotten H+ on att to work but very buggy as something in NV still needs figuring out....its alotta hard work...however normal 3g (H) on att is fully usable and possible currently

I'll probably buy a DNA this weekend or next week. The only thing stopping me are it's battery life and lack of SD slot (vs. S3 right now). I also want to flash the phone to PagePlus but there are NO guides on this. I have flashed my Rezound to PagePlus though so I have the necessary PRL files. My question is though, to manually flash the phone to P+ so call, text, mms and 3G work, would my steps really be as simple as: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45181878&postcount=2
Also, could I just follow Nevell's guide on flashing the S3 using the DNA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40464646)?
Thanks guys!
Bump.
So my first post was seriously flawed as I was basing this off of a Samsung Device (but HTC devices also vary too).
Would I be able to utilize the Rezound tutorial for PagePlus at all (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900163)? I've been looking around at everything but I haven't come up with anything yet.
I know there are users who've flashed their DNA's to PagePlus and have gotten text, calling, and 3G to work (don't know about MMS, but I can do this myself). Also would I need a blank 4G LTE VZW SIM card? Or would I be fine without it as the DNA is natively Verizon-based (so I wouldn't need a 3G donor phone)? For my Rezound I only need a SIM card (it's a GSM one) in it to get 3G / MMS to work.
Any help guys?

No. I did order the phone and it should come next week. I'll just flash the phone myself. I figure it can't be as hard as the Rezound was for me the first time (granted, my Rez had some serious hardware issues).
I'll write a guide for PagePlus when I fully flash my phone. The only issue I would have is getting 3G to work. I am confident that I can get MMS to work though without the need for GoSMS or any of that (depending on the ROM).
I'll post it next week or the week after.
flash to prepay
hay bro iv been looking into it my self the DNA is an unlocked phone for cmda or for gsm so instead of flashing to page pluse just buy the $10 sim kit and bam there it is. ill be doing this this weekend my self so ill post again on it when i do it but there should only be miner setting changes that need to be done after the sim is in and activated HTC DNA is UNLOCKED.
I actually just flashed my DNA to PagePlus successfully today. I only bought a Verizon Micro SIM card for $5. I'll write up a guide tomorrow.
