So I flashed my friend Evo 3D to cricket. Here's the weird problem.
My friend had this old flip phone, so I got all the info I needed, flashed the phone, and now the Evo 3D connects.
This is the weirder part:
I send text: old phone gets text message
I call: old phone and Evo 3D receives call
Old phone answers and Evo 3D hangs up. Normal talking, no voice issues
Evo 3D answers, old phone keeps ringing. Evo 3D can talk, but can't hear other person using Evo 3D. On my phone, I can hear what my friend is saying on the Evo 3D and they can hear me. If old phone answers while Evo 3D is talking, the Evo 3D hangs up and the old phone connects call.
Any answers? Do I have to wait for the phone to fully move over to the Evo 3D? This is so unusual. LoL!!
U cloned the phone .... U shouldn't have changed the esn or the meid cricket would have added them they don't care turn the flip phone completly off and see what happens u can't have both on at the same time that's what happens when u clone a phone whatever one the tower sees first recievs the call cloneing is also illegal just an FYI

What are you talking about!? I watched the tutorial to flash your phone to cricket, and after that, this is what happened.
I NEVER even touched the ESN. So getcho face!! Thank you. Oh and it's not illegal to flash your phone to another carrier.

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

if it was that easy he wouldn't be asking bro! it's not as simple as you paint it! i can flash any android to boost with fully 3g and 4g using clearwire if anyone that is attempting to falsh the evo 3d and has any progress let me know i'll like to s hare my knowledge
how in barnacliville do i do it!
##72786# should work and it wont erase your data...
##786# will reset the device and your data
##3282# and you can go to data profile, menu and then restore.
you need your msl for them all - i can help with that if you dont know how
or lastly you could call sprint haha
EDIT: you can also go to Home page - Menu - Settings - system updates - And then try update profile and prl.
After I got s off, my phone automatically activated itself......then, when I made a phone call, sprint security intercepted my call, and asked me to verify my identity.....and then told me their system didn't recognize my phone!!! They told me to power down, then up in 30 seconds... Funny thing is that I was surfing with no issues prior to the call, ur I thought I'd share that with you guys.
What's *228 then?
I beleive it used to be used for hands free activation. I know it is still used to activate cricket phones but currently it does nothing for sprint phones. at least none that ive tried it on haha

Yes. It was all good. Check down the line in this forum area for a guy that posted a thread about his phone not working after s off. Same ****.
CAN YOU FREAKING IMAGINE HOW MANY EVO 3D phones nationwide are causing security interruptions, all coincidently?????? Sprint is like, " Those Damn XDA mother fu#$&%$!!!"
haha thats great. someone was making a comment earlier about calling htc and sprint and saying they did an ota and now they have s-off and are running android version - custom rom name- haha. it made me chuckle.

yephtcevo3d said:
the problem with sprint phones on straight talk is the choppy data connection. no one wants to help with how to get true 3G i can help with getting 1x and flashing the phone over but who knows how to access true 3G SPEEDS?
GUYS i have a theory....it just came to me. this is my theory.
1. since its a sprint phone the data settings dont get OTA programmed.
2. so you take a VZW android and take the ST esn and *22890 after the evo was programmed.
3. use qxdm to pull the keys. and transfer them to the evo.
im getting another straight talk line to test this on soon so ill let you guys know.

Actually no...The nv items, where the keys are stored, are locked. You need to unlock them, then you have access. The 3d is a beast to flash data, but it can be done if you have the right idea. I know cause it took me like a day to figure it out and ended with me bricking my phone and having to restore it lol
have u figure it out
I need help

Hey All, I'm new to these threads, but I do lurk around and read most posts. I'm having an odd issue with my phones for the past 3 months and no one knows how to fix it so far. I have an EVO 3D phone and I gave my old EVO 4G to my wife so we are on a family plan. So, about 3 months ago we suddenly started to have an issue where if someone calls my phone (EVO 3D) it rings on both mine and my wife's EVO 4G phone. If someone texts my phone it also goes to both phones. My wife cannot call me from her EVO 4G to my EVO 3D phone. When she dials me she hears a automatic message to enter my V/M password. I've been trying to get this resolved with Sprint for the past 3 months and all I get is run around and hang ups. I got to the point where I know I need to speak to a technical manager over at Sprint, but I can never get one on the line. Also, both of my phones are not rooted. I did a factory reset on my wife's EVO 4G, but that did not help. I don't want to reset my EVO 3D as it will bee too much of a pain to restore all my apps and settings/Data.
So, has anyone ever had an issue like this before and if so what steps did you take to resolve it?
I appreciate any help I can get as this is quite annoying and pretty serious as my wife can't reach me by calling me directly, she can only text me and even then it does not always go through.

Find a corporate store and take both phones with you and explain to them. With the phones in hand, they should be able to fix it. Or it could be a google voice issue if you set that up.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Thanks for moving the post in the right forum, I wasn't sure where to post it originally. Also, I tried uninstalling Google Voice and tested, still the same issue, so that wasn't the problem.
Thanks for the suggestion though. =)

Try going into the DATA menu ##3242# and doing a data profile reset on each device. You won't lose anything, it will just go through activation again. Have had to do it on my OG EVO 4G that I sold to my neighbor. When doing it on one fine, have the other completely powered off. And vice Versa.....let me know if that helped....

Tried the data reset
I have done that Data reset several times while on the phone with
Sprint techs. that's didn't resolve anything. Thanks for the advise guys. Any other ideas?
I say msid. Call them and escalate to someone that isn't a dummy. Then tell them to assign new msid's to each device. It's worth a shot.
Sent from my Google Nexus S 4G via XDA Premium
Actually they tried that too they had me power one phone down assign new MSID and reboot. Done that on both phones still same issue. This makes me thing they got something crossed on their end. Figured I'd post here to see if anyone has ever seen such an issue before. =)
The device MSID values are not correct. Please check them in the data menu or in the about phone menu. Confirm with the Sprint that the numbers on the back end are the ones being pushed out to the devices when doing over the air activation.
I have a HTC Evo 3D that has been flashed to Boost Mobile from Sprint, the donor phone was a Sanyo Incognito. Everything seems to work sms, mms,internet( really slow like 56k),android market, and phone. But what I have noticed is that when I go to update the software, PRL, or any type of system update it seem to bring up error 67 (data call failure). How can I resolve this problem that is bothering my device.
Probably won't work cuz ur not on sprint. Root ur phone and change everything yourself.

Umm that's like never going to work because your on Boost.
