hi to all evo 3d xda members i just need i little help with my problem,, this is what happen today,, i buy a htc evo 3d brand new in box but when i tried to activate in sprint store they says is bad esn i buy from craigslist ,, and the same time i call people who flash sprint phones to boost and they say they do for 190$ first month free i see a few evos flashed to boost and works good but i dont know if evo 3d works the same or if this people can really do it ,, thanks for the advices in advance
It is possible to do, but it's also illegal. I suspect you wont be getting much advice from these forums.
Maybe search a little in the Evo forums for a guy who used to do it and PM him.
Get your money back for the phone.

You're a victim of Craigslist. Who ever sold it to you must've stole it or something and sold it to you. Get your cash back. Next time call the seller get the hex number then call sprint and check it b4 you buy

there is no getting your money back from craigslists though.
My EVO is flashed to Boost and it rocks, if you want some info send me a PM and I can point you to the right direction.

Contrary to popular belief, it isn't illegal. What's illegal is copying somebody else ESN/MEID and stealing their service with it. Copying an ESN/MEID that you already own is not illegal.

Hate to state the obvious, but contact the person you got it from and get your $ back. Tell them that they have 24hrs to contact you before call the local PD. The EVO 3D is well into felony theft levels. Probably not something they'll want to mess with.
Who in their RIGHT mind would buy a phone off of CL w/ out first calling to make sure it can be activated??
Just do what they did put it back on craigslist and sell it to some unsuspecting person. Just kidding don't do that.

Nevermind...
I'm damn near ready to flash my evo 3d and my other evo to boost since Sprint still has no useful 4g in the Metro Detroit area.

Hello,
CL really is the Wild West. Every Phone I have sold, including my EVO 4G, I have urged the interested party to meet me at the Sprint Store and Activate it right then and there. For those who choose Metro PCS (who seem as though the will Activate anything) or Boost, at least they know they can go back to Sprint if they choose.
I am really sorry for both 3VO Buyers getting stolen or somehow misappropriated Phones. It makes it that much harder for legitimate Sellers to get their Phones Sold.
Cheers,
JJ
does it have a bad esn cause its been lost or stolen or just shows not clean for activation and attached to someones account? you can check on checkesnfree.com if its been reported lost or stolen PM me i may be albe to help you out.
still noone able to verify it can be flashed to boost yet?

maybe he just could not keep up his sprint bill!!
so either help this guy out with the info he needs or don't post useless information i love xda but there are a bunch a wannabe
lawyers&prosecutors on here always assuming some one
is trying to do something illegal,selling a phone that
sprint has blocked the esn on for not fulfilling
their contract is not illegal,and if the truth be told the OP knew this and does not want to be or can not be with sprint and just wants to flash the phone to a cheaper unlimited plan,so if you are going to post in his thread at least try to
be of some help instead of insisting he return it!!

That is incorrect. Even if you own the ESN that you want to change it to, it is illegal. That doesn't mean people don't do it, but it's still illegal. Modifying that part of the phone is a federal offense.
ok I know changing/mimic'ing an esn is illegal as per the fcc regulations but do you actually "change" the esn when flashing to another carrier that doesn't use contracts and whatnot? cricket, boost, etc.
hey guys i recently bought an evo 3d and i want to know hot to flash to boost and transfer info from my evo 4g.... can anyone help, is it possible???

Why would you take the Thunderbolt from Verizon to Metro PCS???
That makes about as much sense as trading a '67 Z28 for a KIA...
Why make the step down?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
since the thunderbolt uses a sim for 3g/4g, I don't think anyone has gotten data working on metro pcs/cricket, etc. only text and voice. Seems like a waste of an expensive phone...
Well like i say , i got it as a trade, also if i can use it on metropcs i can save some money, i know data is slow bla bla bla with metro, is like the evo if i put it with boost is the same thing as sprint, i save 25$ and i use 3g, so yea im looking for help no bragging

Yes, please explain how this would work. I'm interested, but leery of the process.
I came across a guy about a month ago on craigslist that worked for customer service. He claimed that he could credit your account the full price of an amaze, gs2 or whatever phone you wanted. Then you would order the phone with the credit. THEN pay him 150 to 250 depending on what you wanted. Could be same here. Could be something else. Proceed with caution is my advice.
We should start a thread over at sensation forum for everyone to switch to the better amaze lol

Yeah I'm just going to close this because something is shady indeed.
XDA is not a source for such activity.
Ok. So I'm not an experienced flasher, I have rooted one of my phones a long time ago but haven't done anything with my EVO 4g LTE. So my problem is that I couldn't pay my bill... Long story short, I want to flash it to a prepaid account. Is that possible where I think I have a bad ESN? Also does the phone need to be rooted? I have seen a few guides and videos but they don't mention either of my question. Also what would the best service for this phone be, and the easiest way to go about doing it now with no service on it currently.. I would really appreciate any help I have been out of work for a while now and can't afford to have it on Sprint regular service! Thanks anyone in advance who can shed some light on this for me!!!
Thanks
Fabiana

I recently purchased an HTC one max, after making sure it was for the sprint network and verified the esn was clean and clear. After trying to activate it via built in program.... No luck. I kept getting an error code saying I need to call sprint directly. I called sprint and after talking to a few different reps, one finally had an answer on why I can't activate the phone. I was told that the phones
wi-max id was not in there system, and they needed to do a "click it ticket". Does anyone know if there is a way around this, or a fix to get this $600 dollar paper weight on the network? Please let me know, and thank you in advance.

why cant you just take it back to Sprint, and have them fix/replace it?
Because they are trying to pawn it off on HTC because they are retards and can't figure it out lol
