I went to Virgin Mobile a few weeks ago and got the Evo v 4G. I miss using the Evo 4g LTE and a friend said it was possible to flash the Evo 4G LTE to Virgin Mobile. Is it possible to do so, if so please post a link. I've spend a while trying to find anything on it but can't find anything. Thanks
yes its possible not the same device but principal is the same
That URL didn't work for me, but this did:

Anyone done this successfully? If so how were the results? Acceptable with this carrier?
Good. Systems were upgraded in my are, so actually better than ever. Fast

Wondering if anyone has confirmed this phone on Boost mobile, would love to use it at a cheaper plan then Verizon.

Doubt it would work.
I'm pretty sure you can't flash a phone with a sim card to another provider. Atleast not with pageplus here.

The SIM is just for LTE though. Not too sure how that would limit the CDMA part from working. The OG Inc was able to go onto boost. There's a thread about it in the Inc general forum.
Not saying it would work, just wondering what would inhibit it from working.

You can flash it and it would work just fine on any CDMA network.
You need to take it to someone that knows how to reprogram it by writing the NVs.
Once you do that you won't need the LTE sim card.
Its real simple. Trust me.

I stand corrected. Apologies.

You'd lose LTE obviously but 3g would still work.

Has anyone successfully ported a Rezound over to boost mobile.

If you wanted to go to like T-Mobile or sprint, then there might be interest.

He's actually a great developer over in the wildfire s section. I ran his sense 3.5 Rom and his 2.1 and they're great. He's also helped me out through pm trying to fix some stuff. Thanks jmztaylor! And welcome to 3d world, did you get your 3d yet, or is it even out for VM?
About your poll, I pay sprint for service but my phone says Virgin Mobile because I was one of the few that had to flash that red hot VM firmware leak, but ill be back to all sprint soon.

You're a bad troll and you should feel bad. Look up bloodrain's posts if you want to be a troll.
Also OP, are you talking about Firmware or actually have bought it on VM?
IDK about you but if I'm going prepaid I'm going to go to a GSM network that runs on a good carrier like ATT.

Jmz, I flashed my sprint evolution 4g to my virgin mobile account.
I thought the Evo 3D came out just about a year ago on Sprint, perhaps 13 months. Why would anyone break contact with a year to go to move to VM? I'm sure I'm missing something here.
I recently bought the Sprint branded Evo V 4G but that's not the users you're looking for.

Because you can get a 3d off contract. Many people "flash" sprint phones to virgin mobile

Do you need a donor to flash 3D to vm now that the firmware is out?
EDIT: And does it have to be a smart donor?
How's the service for Virgin Mobile? This divorce is going to cost a lot of money. Trying to cut back on everything just to stay afloat.
I installed the VM firmware the first day we were told that it had to be installed to run freeza's ROM, but I have not had many issues like others. And after flashing the nocturnal release, I cannot find anything on my phone that references VM.
How do you flash to VM? sorry if that's off-topic
On Sprint here. Worst customer service, limited signal, great price. Lol.

Does anyone know if I purchase a Sprint HTC EVO 3D without a plan, will it work on Virgin Mobile's network? I am thinking about picking this one up:
http://www.cowboom.com/deal-of-the-day.cfm
I'm sure there is a way to do it, you would have to talk to somebody at virgin mobile first. Their evo is the exact same one on sprint so it won't be that hard. Only difference is firmware

There is a way but it involves a dummy phone and esn switching but that's illegal so stick to trying to talk to virgin mobile to get u on there system

Hey guys, having a bit of trouble that I'm hoping someone can help out with!
I've managed to flash my 3D over to VM somewhat successfully - I have data working properly, text messaging working, and MMS working, however I have NO calling. Original error is "Your account could not be validated" until I send a text message, then it switches to "Error 16". If I try to call someone again immediately after error 16, I get the original validation error.
I already have the MDN and MSID set to what they should be, which is the most common issue I've seen gone wrong.
If anyone else has any insight, I would very much appreciate it!

Thanks for the link, it looks like it might be the issue, but will it work with it being flashed to VM do you know? The phone was my old phone before I got the LTE, so it's also been deactivated from my account before switching to VM...

Call them and they will fix the error 16 via virgin mobile
can u post the method u used to get it on virgin mobile? a meager search on google resulted in people posting how it was impossible to get on virgin with a sprint phone.
Good luck man!

dealing with the same issue here. Have some threads on my flash here but cant seem to get past this error 16.
will call virgin in morning and bs them and tell them i need a refresh on my kyocera jax....really an htc evo 4g
Error 16 is caused by 2 devices using the same ESN, both active for a moment. I have found that if you do an ESN swap to another phone and the back to your flashed ESN, you'll be fine. BUT NEVER EVER HAVE BOTH POWERED ON AT THE SAME TIME (unless you blank the ESN on the donor phone, of course!)
I recently obtained an EVO 3D from Sprint and successfully flashed it to Virgin Mobile. I got SMS and Calling working, but Data keeps cutting off every minute or so. I know its not permitted to talk about ESN changing or cloning, but I would like to know if anyone has gotten their EVO 3D working in Virgin Mobile with data constantly working?
You would think by now when people end their topic with a "?" that it should probably going in the "Q&A"
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
Moved....By the way if your going to use a ? in your thread title then i would hope you would think that it belongs in the Q&A section
I figured it would get moved, but since most people that answer questions about flashing and mods usually post them in the development section, I figured I would give it a try and post it there. My bad

I'm sorry I'm asking this, but what ROM are you using? Maybe that's whats messing up my 3G
I used the stock ICS Rom for a while but now I'm using Cool ICS.

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?
