hey guys
so i looked around and couldn't find much on EVO V 4G, the Virgin Mobile version of the EVO 3D. it has ICS Sense 3.6 and the bootloader shows 1.57. so i was wondering...has anyone rooted this phone yet? i'm thinking of trying HTC Dev cause that seems to be the only way? and also, if i manage to unlock and root my EVO V 4G, do the ROMs for EVO 3D CDMA work for it? it should right?
my EVO V 4G looks exactly like a EVO 3D, it even says "Sprint" in the front next to the HTC Logo. doesn't show any sign that it's VM unless you turn it on and it shows in the carrier text.
Any help is much appreciated, thanks

There are guides on both android forums and android central on how to root and Rom it but it is basically the same as rooting the evo 3d.

Hi guys,
Can anyone give me any sort of instructions on how to flash a Sprint HTC Evo 3D over to Straight talk ?
I have the Sprint CMDA HTC Evo 3D, Revolutionary rooted, downgraded HBoot 1.50 to 1.40, S-OFF.
Thanks

You cannot.
Straight talk runs on att network so you need a gsm 3d phone.
There is no way to flash cdma to anything but boost, cricket, maybe metro PCS.
The x515a evo 3d would be specific for att bands, x515m for USA T-Mobile bands.

I would also be interested in this. I just need to know what would need to be changed. Also, there are plenty of "paid" flashing services that use straight talk for the evo 3d. I also happen to own an active CDMA straight talk phone. Im using the crappy flip phone because I am uncertain what settings need to be migrated.
I have the msl # for my phone, so I can access the menus. I am not asking for instructions, just simply 'The PRL needs to be changed, etc. etc." maybe a quicklist ? I love my evo 3d. Help ?
I am also absolutely positive that my current straight talk phone is CDMA. Maybe they have access to a couple of diff. networks ?
If you are not comfortable putting this into a reply, PM me. I am uncertain what they are, but I know there are some boundaries.
I am also a fairly competent engineer, so there would not be any "hand holding" necessarily.
Using qpst it can access all secret programming of phone, there are about a dozen changes done with that program, then finding compatible prl, MSID #, usually ask your provider. It's like your phone number, but not, usually next area code over.
Pull up some YouTube vids, saw it IS possible. Odd cause str8talk in west is using Sims, anyways google always taught me, take guide for OG EVO, same process.

Nevell posted earlier in his thread that he flashed the evo shift to straight talk. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27079247 should be close to the same for the 3d.
I'm digging around and it appears that the hardware in the EVO V from Virgin is identical to the EVO 3D. Will ROMs for the 3D work on my Virgin Mobile EVO V device?

Yes, there are roms built specifically for the evo v over at android forums and vmroms.

I am acquiring this week an Evo V 4g (Virgin Mobile Evo 3d), I'm wondering if all ROMs for the device are for the Sprint version. I notice that many ROMS that are ICS have "Sprintified" in the subject, or something similar.

There are no roms built specifically for the evo v here in xda. You can find roms built for the evo v on android forums and vmroms.

The reason the Roms say Sprintified is because the dev took the Virgin Mobile leak and converted it for use on Sprint. You need one where this has not been done, which is not available here.

You can give a try to flash Mwakious3Drom (sense 3.6)
Sent From HTC EVO 3D loaded with Mwakious3Drom v16.2 + JiMz-Pac Statusbar v3.0.16s
If it's the Virgin Mobile Evo V 4g then any Evo CDMA rom will work. Just make sure to fully hack it, s-off recovery hboot root etc..I personally have the Evo V 4g but refer to it as the Evo 3d b/c that's what it is other than the sim card lol. IMO I like Negalit's BlueRom & Team Dirt AOKP 10.1 with JellyedToast kernel.
