Currently, I have the OG EVO on Boost Mobile and it works great but I'm ready to upgrade and wondering if the EVO LTE will be able to be flashed to Boost Mobile. I did all the work myself so I'm more then capable but I'm wondering if the process is any different with this phone. I realize it hasn't been out long but any tips would be great.
There is an Evo LTE on Ebay right now with a bad ESN that would be a candidate for flashing to Boost.

I have already put 3 HTC EVO's on my account so I know what I'm doing. Already have my HA and AAA passwords and all that good stuff saved. I want to know if the process for the EVO LTE is any different from the OG EVO. The way I have to do it is scan for the memory locations in CDMA workshop, cancel out all the ESNs/MEIDs in QDXM and all that stuff. Can you do that on the EVO LTE or is there a different way?

i would love to know this information as well.
search you tube HTC EVO LTE Xtreme Flashed to Verizon prepaid $50
they say they can flash to verizon prepay, boost, cricket
im sure its easy to do....
Actually on the Evo 4G and Evo 3D (which I've flashed both) you don't even need to search for MEID and ESN locations, you could use QPST Explorer to clear out the 0 and 1943 nvm files and that'll clear the MEID and ESN off the phone... WAAAAY easier, that's not totally all but I don't wanna get crap for posting how to change MEIDs lol but I would love to know if that'll work on the 4G LTE because that would be the easiest way to do it. If you don't know how to do that method PM me but that's what I'd really be interested in.

Yeah I tried with build 366 haven't tried 264 ill give it a shot and let you know
UPDATE: No luck with open sesame method in build 264. It unlocks the num folder but 0 or 1943 do not appear

Nope. T-mobile is GSM. Sprint is CDMA.
It wont work with tmobile but maybe you can get it to work with metropcs or even boost.
Although I hear there are some legal concerns about doing this..

You can't. T-mobile needs SIM card slot, Sprint does not. You could get the sensation, a replica with out 3D and half the amount of RAM.

It's not called unlocking for Metro, Unlocking is a term used for GSM Phones.
You are wanting to FLASH to metro pcs. From what I know there is some CDMA workshop trickery involved, and I believe you DONT need to be rooted for it to work although I could be wrong. Also btw ROOTING ≠ UNLOCKING
Metro is garbage, if you want the best, pre paid , its page plus, 45- buck a month with unlimited talk text and 20mb internet but best part is it uses verizons service

I got my Evo LTE in and wanted to know if it is capable of being flashed to work on verizon. Family member has a verizon account and I wanted to get my phone (EVO LTE) added to their account.
I saw a video on youtube showing it was flashed to verizon prepaid but I wanted to do it for post paid. Also that video was a sales ad and not a how to. Is this even possible since its a new phone?
Most likely yes but I doubt if LTE works. This phone is currently flashable to cricket, metro PCs, and boost mobile.

Ya its technically compatible, if you can jump through the hoops regarding their ESN datanase. However, LTE will NOT wotk, there's no need to guess. This phone is compatible with 1900MHz LTE, Verizon uses 700MHz (one of the reasons it achieves such great penetration).

Sure if you want 3g speeds then yes you need a Verizon donor like the fascinate. Plus you need a cheap Verizon prepaid phone. One that's not activated yet. You can a fascinate that's currently active just have to back up its settings so you can restore it when your finished with it. But the prepaid phone needs not be activated

Do you have any more information about how I can go about doing this?
It's is possible it would require a reprogramming of the DSP. This has NEVER been done other than MTF.
If someone can obtain a similar phone with the SAME chipset on Verizon it could be cloned.
Don't hold you breath, but I think all LTE chipsets are capable of the entire spectrum meaning it's software.
Any word on this?
I'm also looking to switch to Verizon and I don't like any of the phones in Verizons line up
Would Verizon be able to do this for me or is this something that I have to do

Of course, I myself am currently flashed to Boost with the device. They flash easily to other carriers the same as previous htc phones. Yes the LTE won't work. Metropcs has LTE and although they are both cdma they use different frequencies and airwaves for LTE so you'd have to settle for 3G at least for the time being.
does it flash easily or do you have to do bad juju with the numbers?
It's pretty easy just search for EVO 4g LTE boostmobile. I recommend to flash to Verizon prepaid

nice to see another person using an Evo and going with Virgin
i have an Evo 4g and just figured out how to get it connected to CDMA workshop. Was able to get my spc.
The problem with this whole thing is my donor phone had its usb data connection disabled by Virgin prior to shipping, like they do with all their cheap phones. i have the mdn, msid, meid...and as far as esn goes i still dont understand if esn is the same as meid. I dont even see anything in cdma workshop that says mdn or msid or meid
I might be on board too. Damn divorce has got me cutting a lot of corners. What is your actual total monthly payment?
As Title. I have Sprint Evo 3D 4G, I want to use it for Virgin Mobile. Is it possible of doing so? Will that affect my Virgin Mobile cheap plan? Thanks in advance.

CDMA phones can't be "unlocked" like GSM phones can. CDMA phones are identified by the MEID number, and Sprint has a database of these numbers and what brand they are associated with. So they will see you are trying to activate a Sprint-branded phone and Virgin and reject it. Changing they MEID is possible but is illegal in some jurisdictions (Missouri comes to mind), so I won't go any further.
Or you could call up Sprint and ask very nicely if they'll activate it for you anyway. But don't be surprised if they say no.

They work perfectly fine on virgin mobile. If you want to get MMS working your gonna have to flash an HTC EVO V ROM. Not sure i can like to another forum but theres a EVO V forum at android forums. Make sure to back up before you flash. The first time i flashed a ROM the ESN changed back. Just the ESN so it was a quick fix.
