My brother is thinking of getting an EVO 3D off ebay and it has a bad ESN but he wants to use it with Virgin mobile would that work or once it's a bad ESN it doesn't work with any provider?
Need to switch it with a new one... Which is illegal. Though I do have a broken virgin Android phone with a good esn

A Bad ESN shouldn't activate ither way :-/

Some providers will allow and network compatible phone on like boost. Virgin only allows web from phones they sold, so whether it's a good or bad sen does not matter. It has to be one in their system. As mentioned, you'd have to change the esn which is illegal. Possible yes, illegal yes.

I have the sprint S 3 but there's no 4gLTE in my area, would I be able to get the international version and use that on the sprint network? Cause lte is the reason you can't use the quad core right?

The international version doesn't have CDMA radios.
Lte will be rolling through the country later on. Get the quad if you don't want to wait til that happens

No no no, it won't work. Sprint uses CDMA radios, the international has GSM radios. You misunderstood.
Sprint is cdma but LTE is GSM technology. Just to complicate things.....

I so agree with you!!! I want to go to ATT or TMobile because they're GSM Networks but Sprint is giving me a crazy deal that I could never drop.

In much of the US CDMA coverage is superior to GSM coverage. I almost never do not have at least CDMA for voice. When I was with ATT on a GSM phone that was definitely not the case.
Well maybe TMobile is better. I find with Sprint. I only get service in about 60% of the places I go

What would my phone be worth? I took the official ics firmware zip and had no cell signal after. Even took it to a guy I know and he couldn't fix it. Everything works even wifi just gets no cell signal at all. Got no answer about what it was in multiple forums but ppl did try to help me out . What would it be worth? Anybody want an evo 3d tablet? Lol

That could be a problem for Devs.
However, I'm 90% sure you can fix it.
It says you flashed it to Cricket?
Why not try flashing it back to Sprint?
Lol an RUU would flash back to sprint. Believe me..I've flashed phones..and i took it to someone who has an actual HTC dev account. Nothing worked. Like the other Guy said. I think my radio burned out. Unless its something like if you flashed a GSM firmware to a cdma phone. That's the only thing that might compare

I was talking with my friend the other day he is an AT&T regional manager and he said that unlocking my photons gem radio and buying service with AT&T was a federal crime. I do not believe it is but can someone give me some better info on if it is or is not?

Lots of people unlock their radio for AT&T, no one is in jail yet.
I think he just wants me to buy an ATT phone
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
either he is woefully ignorant or he is lying to you. If he is lying to you, than he is not your friend.
Well he it was illegal because of ESN writing but unlocking the GSM radio does not write an ESN correct?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
1. unlocking GSM radio is not ESN writing
2. ESN cloning of another phone you own and have not activated is not illegal (i.e. you are not using 2 phones with the same ESN on a network)
3. ESN cloning of a phone you do not own for the intent of stealing signal is illegal.
Hmmm do GSM networks even use ESN's?

The talk more than that is frowned because changing the ESN in any way is ILLEGAL. Doesn't mean it can't be done though. Just will not find it on XDA because this is a Law Abiding Oraganization.
OK well thanks for the info
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Figured it out the 3d I bought from cl was flashed to boost so is it still illegal to return the ESN to original (flash back to sprint) ?

Are sext photos ever filtered/blocked by either Sprint or iPhone/ATT? I've noticed some things don't get through.
No, not that I've noticed. In an effort to answer this question without making any blatantly unfunny pre-pubescent jokes, I leave you with this. It's possible that it's just a failed send on their side.
Also, boobs. Like....so many boobs.
