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 need to buy the EVO 3D from Rogers Canada

Don't go with Tmobile unless you have to, I have had some bad experiences with them.
Tmobile = FAIL!
Sorry,
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.

If you search the forum a bit you can find threads on how to do this. I'm sure I've seen a thread or two on metropcs and evo 3d.

yeah i saw it too. but i think you cant get mms on it thru metropcs. i hope i'm wrong. i'd love to move from my $55/month (taxes included) on tmobile to $40/month with metropcs. i'd be happy.

I know this must have been answered before but I am not able to find it . You are a senior member can you kindly answer or point me in the right direction?
What are the steps to unlock my Sprint EVO 3D and use it with MetroPCS?
Does rooting mean unlocking?
There seems to be two types of rooting soft and hard, which rooting is required or unlocking?
Thanks

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
Which in my case tops any pre paid plan by a milestone

lmao...what good is that when u got no data? not only that but PP needs a verizon esn.....if there was a way to change the esn on the evo 3d u think people would pick PP over boost? metro roams off of sprints towers. u can actually load a sprint prl into any metro phone and it will work. anyhow metro is great cause u get unlimited data, even if its slow u still get data and all ur apps work. yes you can flash the evo 3d to metro pcs, its same as flashing any other phone. u need cdma ws to change the passwords and all that stuff the m.ip and the ppp. i sold my last evo 3d on metro pcs alsmot fully working...mms is not working. im getting another evo 3d in 4 days ill see if now with root theres a way to get mms. all apps work on metro pcs.
google: flash evo 4g to metro pcs and its the same settings. u will need cdma ws 3.7 its worth buying it
U can get unlimited data for more money.
I've done my old EVO 4G on page plus, everything works.

EVO LTE on Boost Mobile?

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.

You can I flashed mine to cricket but you have to use a different program

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.

"Okay got build 264 to recognize phone...albeit weird phone number (my base number maybe)..
picked a generic phone but read/write works..."
See if build 264 works. Anyone try the open sesame method yet?
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
Yes. Same results with build 264,301,355 and 366.
Nor will new files via sesame in dfs tool work.
However I'm only rooted still locked.

yeah looks like only option is to get the paid version of cdma ws and use build 264 to write HA/AAA

Is it possible to unlock Sprint EVO 3D 4G for Virgin Mobile

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.

Should I finish the esn swap first then flash rom? or the other way round?
I see many of the custom CDMA roms are based on Sprint. Does they also work on Virgin Mobile?
What is the stable daily using ROM you are commending?

I'm on MetroPCS and all the Sprint ROMs work for me, they should all work for you too (provided you're flashing CDMA ROMs)

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.
