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.

I don't know about Verizon contract but prepaid is highly possible. It's been done the og 4g and 3d.

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).

would you be able to help me out? I dont have a donor phone. would this require just a verizon donor phone? would I be able to use a used donor phone? One thats already activated on an actual account (fascinate).

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

so i hard bricked my vibrant and im sending it to mobile tech videos next friday and i wanted to know if its unlocked if it would work on virgin mobiles network because i currently have them. either way im un bricking it but they offer unlock services so i was gonna pay the 10$ extra to do it cause i love the phone. if not ill use it as a play phone for games
Edited: I gave the wrong advice. I was thinking Straight Talk. You were asking about VM. I believe below poster is correct, and since VM in the USA uses a CDMA network, then it would effectively be impossible to use your Vibrant with their service.
Virgin mobile in the US is a cdma network so you cant use a vibrant with it unfortunately.

Your options for service other than T-Mobile are at&t, straight talk(uses tmo and at&t but its cheaper) simple wireless and depending on where you live there might be other providers . Make sure its GSM and it will work but that doesn't guarantee 3g service. That depends on which frequency bands the service provided uses for 3g services. I have a captivate (at&t sgs1) unlocked and use my second tmo line, I don't get 3g on it because they don't share the same 3g frequency bands.

Basically you have to look into the htc deluxe for Radios/Ril cdma/ lte/gsm, then kernel, and software. Provider must have cdma in order to be porter to from DNA ....look like the HTC Butterfly is the match
Here more Info http://androidforums.com/droid-dna-all-things-root/728576-htc-deluxe-root.html
Yes, the carrier is cdma. They used to be in bed with sprint. Last march they split the sheets and climbed in bed with Verizon. I would go with Verizon but they do not have any native infrastructure here so I cannot even sign up with them....like I said, the only game in...uh.....town. the town I live in has al of 250 people and the closest city is only 50k.....nice to live out in the country but it does have its drawbacks.

Fellow Okie, I'm in OKC. Couldn't you drive into Enid and hook up with a Verizon store? Coverage looks good in your area. In any event, your local pro company is bouncing off of somebody's towers. I'd think that if you can find out who has the best towers in your neck of the woods, you could go into the nearest big city and get on their system.
Just a thought - You're living that dream, so you would know better. Good luck!
I meant to say provider, not pro company....lol. and yes, the only towers out here are owned by Pioneer. Sprint roams on them and Verizon uses them as an extended network. Att and tmo also have some stuff here but the the speeds are so slow. I cant sign up with Verizon because there is no Verizon owned towers here. I can't get Sprint until I'm in Enid, though they have their LTE up and running there....very vast when in town but can't even make a phone call when I'm at my house in Ringwood. So Pioneer is the only game here. Just been waiting for them to have a decent phone to make the switch. I hope the DNA development is compatible with this regional carrier version. I have been rooting and playing with different roms for years, will be unhappy if I will no longer be able to play with my phone.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Also, as of March 2012, Pioneer and Sprint went separate ways. Everything north of I40 and west of I35 is dead to sprint now. Been roaming ever since. Now Verizon uses Pioneers stuff for their extended network. By virtue of my address, I am unable to sign on with any carrier except Pioneer......so much for the American ideal of no monopolies...lol

I have a DLX with SU. The bootloader can be unlocked at htcdev. I tried to fastboot TWRP using the butterfly 920e version of TWRP, which did not work. So i tried the DNA version of TWRP and it worked.. Then i just flashed the su_busybox file and I'm rooted. I'm fairly sure the revone method will get you S OFF,, I haven't done it yet,, because the 4.2 software update is just around the corner. But in my opinon,, HTC DLX users should follow DNA methods, other than getting superCID. Which you don't need to do.

"Flashing to Straight Talk" can vary, depending on how you want to go about it... Straight Talk has two types of service, CDMA and GSM, both of which will work on the Rezound to a varying degree.
The CDMA mode is as @mjones73 mentioned, and it required a donor phone to clone the ESN/MEID from to be activated. This will use Verizon service in 3G mode, which is kind of slow (about 600kbps in my area at best) but it will work. The practice of ESN cloning is... umm... questionable though technically possible.
The GSM mode requires a stockish global mode ROM, and a T-Mobile or AT&T SIM card from Straight Talk... Voice and SMS will work out of the box, MMS and data require a little tweaking. There are a few guides out there but @REV3NT3CH is working on a guide to get AT&T 4G on the Rezound... yes, I said 4G! I believe he also has/had 3G working on T-Mobile service with Straight Talk as well. Be patient, those guides will be coming soon, I know he is working on them and they should be ready soon.
I can help anybody flash their phone to straight talk PM me

4G on Verizon (CDMA/LTE) will likely never be possible unless Verizon has a serious change of policy.
4G/LTE may be possible on an StraightTalk AT&T SIM, @REV3NT3CH keeps saying he has it working and will be putting out this step-by-step guide, but so far it seems just like a vaporous apparition.

Um.. Typo maybe? Maybe I didn't read that right?
I'm on Verizon and I get 4g fine.
Maybe you meant GSM won't get 4g, or that Verizon phones won't get 4g on different networks?

to answer all the confusion....the htc vigor (rezound) has all the bands to support it...they are just locked by default in the nv....its alot of hex coding and as i do get 4g i also noticed a few errors....like it confusing certain roms to default and do a weird lock and defaults back to cdma only after a few hours of usage on 4g....the reason for its delay on release is kitkat development
As far as gsm goes I didn't even hafta do anything I just popped in my sim card to stock and I could do calls texts yes both sending and receiving (but this is on T-Mobile gsm which should be similar) I haven't found a ROM yet (I'm on PAC man right now) that I can't get everything working on it without too much trouble (I don't have a data plan but I can get MMS to work which works through data)
Edit: (I couldn't get Gsm working on the 4.4 ROM) but that's it

I'm actually working on a pure gsm kitkat for the rezound....i can also second that right now it doesnt work from straight flash....requires a few build.prop edits and to enter a special menu just to get calling and normal texting to work...data was hit or miss with the 4.4 on the main dev thread...i will also second that using a sim card for straight talk is much less of a hassle than actually flashing the carrier to your rezound and depending on the flash youll never be able to change your rom again without breaking the flash....i use their att version of their sim as tmobile has less likely of a chance to get 4g to ever work on the rezound.....i have gotten it to work with a certain model of their micro sim and sim adapter with a mass multitude of nv edits....
OK been thinking about moving to straight talk with my Rezound. I'm already rooted with custom rom cm10.2. Can I just put in an AT&T straight talk sim card and get 4g coverage? If not are there steps I can do to get 4g working?

no the highest you will get currently is 3g....however i am working on the NV edits (which is required to even get the 3g in the first place) to get full 4g which is only obtainable via the att micro sim and micro sim to normal sim adapter....also you will have to edit the apn settings to get data....same would go if you were to flash it....which just getting a sim is cheaper

No... why would you think that?
Now, if you do something like cloning a MEID/IMEI number, that might fall into a different category, but "flashing" a Rezound to Straight Talk (or most other carrier) involves little more then enabling some of the features and changing a few settings in the phone that are hidden, disabled, or limited by the default carrier.
I think part of the steps to flash the Rezound to get 3g coverage is to have a donor phone and clone it. So you're saying the cloning part would be illegal? What if you own the donor phone and the Rezound outright?

So, you mean move it to Straight Talk CDMA service, not GSM? Different ballgame... ESN/MEID cloning for fraudulent purposes is clearly illegal, doing it yourself for devices you own is a very grey area, the law isn't as cut and dry, if you Google the question of ESN cloning you will find widely varied answers but nothing cut and dry.
I know people who have done it successfully for exactly the purpose and situation you describe and haven't had an issue, but at the same time if Straight Talk/PagePlus or whoever decided to push it, they could say you are performing fraud and possibly violating their terms of service as well since the device ESN is not just a radio identifier, it also is assigned by the manufacturer and registered with a specific device and specific capabilities.
All in all, its your call...no where have I seen this discussion come a black and white answer.
The difference with using SIMs between devices and ESN swapping is clear though and ruled not illegal as the capabilities and service are tied to the SIM and not the not the device itself, as although carriers may require the devices IMEI number for provisioning their services and prevention of fraudulent activities.

I have a friend that wants me to help them get a Verizon phone working on straight talk and I want to make sure I'm not about to unknowingly do something illegal. That's why all the questions. Thanks for the help. Next question.....if the phone has gsm settings they could just switch to that for service and everything is legal? Also what kind of data speeds can be expected? 2g, 3g, or 4g (yea right!!!)?

As I said, the legality is questionable... Its not black and white.
The Rezound is a Global Phone and has GSM capabilities to an extent... 2G/Edge is possible on all US GSM carriers, 3G/HSPA is possible on AT&T based networks with a compatible ROM. 4G/HSPA+ is marginally possible with a LOT of modding, @REV3NT3CH is kind of the master here on that. 4G/LTE is not possible on any non-VZW carrier.
That being said, the Rezound's GSM radios are not tuned for US carriers, so signal strength and data performance suffer.

Hey guys, I am having a bit of a problem.
I had a Motorola Atrix HD, before I got the LG Optimus G(E970). I always had LTE here at work, matter of fact, most everyone else still has LTE here.
Since I got the Optimus G, I can't seem to get anything but HSPA+, on any rom/stock I have tried. I've tried a lot, and none seem to work.
I have a question. While writing this out, I thought of something. When I first got the device it was on 4.04. I don't have ATT, so I couldn't get the OTA, so I flashed a 4.1.2 stock rom through CWM. I swear I had LTE When I first used this phone, as it's pretty obvious on stock (4GLTE) next to signal.
Would me flashing that rom, instead of upgrading it via OTA, or that LGNSP program cause issues?
I also would like to point out, no matter what radio I flash, it never actually changes.
I've tried all the "tricks" to get LTE to work for T-Mobile, the service menu change, the *#*#4636#*#* menu. Nothing seems to change it.
If anyone has any insight on this, I would definitely appreciate it.
A lot of people have talked about having problems getting LTE to work on the T-Mobile network...have you tried hybrid modems ? The thread is somewhere around general subforums I believe...

Yea, I think that may be the problem, they don't seem to be flashing, as my baseband isn't changing at all. Is it safe to use a factory image after unlocking the bootloader?
I'm not 100% sure about that. I've never done that so I don't wanna tell you yes. Than you screw your phone up. I (think) you'd be safe doing so but I doubt that will change the fact of you not getting LTE...
