Flashing to Boost question - HTC EVO 3D

So, I am selling my and my wife's E3Ds and the person who wants to buy them wants to know if I can flash them to be used on Boost. I just did some quick Googleing, but only found people who said they did it but no information on how.
Is this something that is doable and worth my time? Has anybody around here done it?
Side note, I tried searching but when I do my app FCs. :-\ Idk why...
Thanks in advance.

Yes it can be done. Is it worth it well that's up to the user. Google search it and you will find all you need. FYI none of the guides you will find will be complete you have to read between the lines.

Yes it can be done, but the process usually requires a Boost CDMA Device, to get the account started etc, etc here is a tutorial at youtube.
youtube . com/watch?v=YKNij__qnL4&context=C4ed6835ADvjVQa1PpcFNWXJOX-Us_xgNsD4ANVTCsVRs9O6FxTas=

Ended up selling them to someone else who didn't need them on Boost.
Thanks anyway though.

[Q] (Q) How do I fix "Firmware upgrade Encountered"

Ok so this is my second Note 2. I am not new to rooting or anything. The first note 2 I had it was really simple, this one is giving me problems. I wasn't sure what software it was on so tryed the first method for unlocking the bootloader. And now Im getting this message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again". I have tryed to restore it to stock via the methods stated in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207 and its failing at sbin or whatever. The phone will go back into download mode but it fails everytime I try to restore it. I am at a loss here. Please help (p.s I try the 2nd way to unlock the bootloader, seeing as how it might be on the new ota, it still didn't work. Thanks in advance!
Try flashing the alternate restore in Odin from imnuts thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040264

And what happened to your 1st Note? Bet you bricked that one as well, yeah?

Ya so I traded the first one via craigslist for a very good deal I couldn't pass up. With that being said I was not aware there was software update for the note 2 so I didn't check the software version because updates are far and few ...... Thanks for your comment douchebag it really helped! its people like you who are ruining xda. I asked a simple question, I have fixed it via trial and error....

I don't know. Maybe sending me a PM telling me to go @#$# myself, in addition to what you said to me in quote one. All over you bricking your phone because you were too lazy or stupid to check the about phone?
I don't know, man. Your story is shaky - at best. Good luck. Heard droidstyle has a guide that will fix darn near anything. Heard it fixed an iphone once.....heard.

Well honestly some people need to get over themselves let alone "senior" members like yourself...if I knew the answer and if i was too lazy or stupid how did I figure out to come to xda and ask a simple question. Why would my story be shaky? I tryed to explain my problem as good as I could..what is the purpose of making up lies.haha If anything that would only hinder my quest to find a solution.
You didn't check to see the software version of your phone before you went and grabbed a file that modifies your phone.
Did you ever stop for a second and think "wait a min..."
Google "alternate restore xda".

Ok the first note 2 I had was so easy root and then unlock...I didn't remember exactly what I did when It came to the note 2. even though I read through the instructions this most recent time. I know especially with an expensive phone like the note 2 to be very careful. I knew eventually I would figure it out and I would get some help after reading through the many forums on xda. I took for granted how easy it was and thats why I temp. bricked my 2nd note 2. This 2nd note 2 is working fine on eclipse based on the latest ota now. Sorry for being an ass, but I was just trying to solve a frustrating problem, like the ones Im sure you have come across.
Understood. We can move on. We're good.
I believe Kintwofan will come on here shortly and say "use the alternate restore zip". I wasn't trying to humiliate you. I wanted you to remember what you did so you don't do it again. I bet you'll always check 'about phone' now, right? Very important, my friend.

Going by your other post you are already unlocked and rooted. That is the main step you needed to accomplish.
Before doing anything, do research. There are guides everywhere on how to flash roms. YouTube has hundreds of videos that have step by step instructions on what to do.
Research so you have an idea of what is going on, then come back here and ask questions you have. It makes everything a lot easier for you and for people helping if you have a general idea of what is going on.

I think you need to be a little more clear on what you are trying to accomplish. Are you trying to just flash a rom? Or are you trying to use a Verizon I605 on another network?

Honestly you need to look up everything you can about flashing because the more you know the less chance you have of screwing your phone up. Research, read, read, read, if you have questions ask them, then flash or do whatever you want to do.
You can ask for help but you at least need to do your research and reading, otherwise it makes you look lazy.

If that's what you are trying to do, the other thread you posted in has everything you need. Go back there and actually read the information. To me, it looks like you want to be spoon fed everything. That isn't going to be useful down the road when you screw something up and have no idea what to do.

Pretty bad with computers, toaster ovens

and technology in general so I was gonna pay the twenty or thirty dollars to have one of the people that advertise in these forums do root my phone. Any longtime members have any feedback? Or recommendations there was at least two groups advertising in the rooting xdaforum last night...thank you.

Don't. I don't know a heck of a lot about your phone but I've seen this stuff go around and often you are wasting money
Of course this is just my opinion and take it how you'd like, but I know it can't be to hard to follow directions for most everyone and I'm sure there is clearly written guides to do so. Just go to your phones forum and seek a guide and read up. Ask for advice when this fails
And again just my opinion here but if you can't root your own device chances are it shouldn't have root access. What I mean by this is that you will have a greater chance of bricking down the road if you don't learn how to do things yourself, I see it all the time, so do yourself a favor and learn about your phone before it becomes anything more than stock, or else you have a high chance of having it be nothing more than an expensive brick
Feel free to ask more questions and I'll do my best to help, also feel free to tell me to mind my own business, either way...

Hell.,I need you in business brah. I found it to be solid advice and what I thought was the smartest route anyway. The learn about your phone argument is the truth. It's like Yoda, then you, then the Dalai Lama. I appreciate your wise words and will now trek down the path less taken for me. Wish me luck brother. And thank you!
PS any good video instructionals on YouTube you recommend over others.Little more of a visual learner ya know...long lists of written directions gives my ADHD the ****in fits! Thanks again.

Thanks, I'd be willing to send you a video link but not sure your phone, HTC one?
I'd just go to you phones forum and look for the stickies in either general or dev section, should be all the info needed to root and often a link to a YouTube video if its complicated

To be honest. If you dont can root your phone than you maybe let it be. I mean: with root you can kill (brick) your phone if you dont know what youre doing. If you do it yourself (maybe with some guidance) you will be willing to learn and search so it will be easier for you.

[Q] Just got the phone

I just got the S4 from a contract upgrade. Soo I have a few questions I can't seem to find from the search engine.How do I know if I can root or use safestrap? Also is this http://www.spigen.com/brands/samsung/galaxy/galaxy-s4/galaxy-s4-case-slim-armor-view.html a good case if anyone has it?
Everything depends on your build number.
Chances are you have either mj7 or mk2.
Everything you will need is in this thread just make sure you read very thoroughly and understand it before you try flashing anything.

there are several threads here concerning safestrap that you can easily find with or without the search function and I believe there are several youtube videos as well.

Well the issue I was having was a overload of information. I couldnt figure out if I needed safestrap or not. But that also could of been an issue of my common sense not working and not wanting to brick it. Since this seems alot diffrent from my rezound and Incredible. But yeah verizon.
Also josh how bad is the customer service doesnt really matter since I bought it just wanna know what I may run into.

[Q] Note 3, possible unlock? NOT A TUTORIAL

OK, Hello XDA fellows,
I am trying to put together some information, and had an idea come to me about the NOTE 3, Mine is the sprint variant, N900P.
There are hundreds of threads that say yes and no on is it possible to use on GSM. I have come to realize that unless UICC is unlocked then you cannot get GSM (USA Carriers) to work.
My question lies in why can you "bypass" uicc on other phones but not this one?
I ask this with knowledge about the LG G2 unlocking procedure listed here>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729370<
Is there anyone currently trying to duplicate this method on the sprint(or any) Note 3?
please be gentle in any responses, I am no n00b, but am not an advanced hacker either lol.
any input on this would be wonderful, or maybe any suggestions that I could use to "tinker" with my note3.
I hope this might spark enough intrest to try out things on the sprint note 3 again.
well its sadly to say that there is noway to unlock uicc even with a professional unlock boxes (good job Spirnt :good: ) , if someone has any solution that can unlock my n900p and make it work on gsm so i can give him upto 50$ or even more, if someone can. if anybody has some solution contact me in pm. or reply here
RE-Stating what was meant
ok maybe no one has realized what I was asking.. I want to know can anyone help me do the same as what was done for the LG G2...
If i can read the code(what programs are needed in windows), and I can get the roms from the Tmobile version, then maybe I can replicate that on this phone. I would be willing to use my phone as the test subject, and from there would post my EFS when I am done, as well as a custom made rom for it like the G2 Rom
Please PM me if you have ideas, or comments for me, if you are also working on it, please let me know what you have done, both in progress and failures.

Not to be a wet blanket .......
It's my understanding that the code that would need changed can only be done "over the air" by Sprint. And to make matters worse the code is encrypted, so with out the key it can't be done. All so a LG and Samsung phone code is so incompatible that I don't think looking at it would help. Just changing the settings APNs Radios etc. won't help us use a different Sim card.
Keep thinking!
