Ok. So I'm not an experienced flasher, I have rooted one of my phones a long time ago but haven't done anything with my EVO 4g LTE. So my problem is that I couldn't pay my bill... Long story short, I want to flash it to a prepaid account. Is that possible where I think I have a bad ESN? Also does the phone need to be rooted? I have seen a few guides and videos but they don't mention either of my question. Also what would the best service for this phone be, and the easiest way to go about doing it now with no service on it currently.. I would really appreciate any help I have been out of work for a while now and can't afford to have it on Sprint regular service! Thanks anyone in advance who can shed some light on this for me!!!
Thanks
Fabiana

As far as I know not the Sprint Version as far as the gsm Evo 3d I don't know. The radio's don't work and I don't think even if they did Verizon would allow it like the little guys do (coughs boost cough) Even so the Boost network is Sprint's that they pay to use. I do know that Verizon PRL works on our phone but it counts as roaming and sprint will give you the boot for using it too much. I only use it when I visit my father as it's the only way I can get a signal and use it SPARINGLY until the wife and I drive home.
No, you can not.

I think technically speaking, the CDMA EVO 3D will operate on Verizon's 3G frequencies. WiMAX will not work through a Verizon account.
In order to get the device to operate mainly on Verizon and be registered to a Verizon account would be another story and process .. not sure Verizon would support or faciliate this process, let alone allow.
Hope that helps!
Thanks for the responses. Looks like I will jus get a new phone lol =)

No worries, if you're getting a new phone w/ Verizon I'd say sell your Evo3D for about 250-300 on ebay/craigslist and then wait for the Galaxy Nexus.
Or the Rezound.
Or the RAZR.
Some nice phones are comin' out on VZW this coming quarter...
AND they just updated their data tier plans; doubled every plan's data for the same amount of moolah.
i switched to sprint from tmo recently. so far i love it. i have owned a g1, moto cliq and hd2 and have always rooted my phones with no problems. im a little wary of rooting my photon as i still dont understand very well how cdma works vs gsm. my question regards activation. how does one go about activating a recently rooted cdma phone without having to pay for the activation fee? with a gsm phone all thats needed is inserting the sim card. but what about cdma un general or sprint in particular?
many thanks.
ps: i did my research but found no clear answer.

activate it on sprint.com after logging into the account.
First, call Sprint and ask for them to remove or credit the activation fee, If you don't succeed at first, try again. I went through 4-5 reps before I got my activation fee waived, call telesales, if they are not willing to credit it, ask for a free accessory.
To Root Your Device:

This link is to the AIO Root for the Photon. Follow the directions, and root. Your phone will reboot many times during this process, do not unplug your device.
Also, please join the Motorola Photon 4G XDA Fan Group, click on the link on my signature for more information.

Tho if the phone is already activated before rooting, you won't have to reactivate after.

many thanks. i was under the impression that everytime you loaded a new rom it had to be activated again.
thanks again

If may have to activate it but only a one time charge when u first buy or setup ur phone
The phone activate is more like a network registration

unless they changed it online activation is free.

The only difference between GSM and cdma is network technology and radios. The root procedures and theories after it are all the same regardless of the network type.

I would just like to mention that the one click root method mentioned above didn't work with clockwork recovery at least for me anyway. If you have any plans of flashing roms and kernels to this phone in the future you may want to follow the guide that qbking posted here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwRjFrzClBs and here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfJJ0h4d-80&feature=relmfu
big thanks to qbking for these I would've had a hard time rooting w/o his help.

You can get some one here to do it remotely by accessing your PC cuz alot of it is done on the PC....i never recommend sending your phone off for it because it voids warranty and if they did anything it won't help your cause
if it's unbranded i could do it remotely, or i can give you the YouTube video i used because the evo 3d was the first phone i rooted myself and alot of it is automated instead of typing commands

Maybe I should offer a service to do it

Hi guys, I want to buy a HTC Rezound & keep my pageplus service. Just wondering if anyone been successful activating it on Pageplus with everything working (Besides 4G)?
I'm coming from a Droid X2 & The community is great but it's also pretty much dead since the bootloader is locked.

Are you happy with your page plus service? Do they really use the verizon towers? Thats what I have been told. I am looking into switching to them. There is a company near my home in NH that will unlock phones and you can get any service on them. I am seriously considereing it......But am a little leerey about it...I need my phone for work and home so I must have good service. They told me it would be $100-150 to unlock my 4G phone. They are not 100%sure they can do it yet, so if they can;t theres no charge.
I was thinking of just getting a regular used 3g smartphone on craigslist and setting it up with pageplus...just to see how the service is, before cancelling verizon.....sound like a good idea or a bad one?
Thanks

Can you show me to one of these guides, and is it possible to do it without first activating a phone from the preffered carrier

Generally, no. You need to buy one of their phones first. Unless you go to page plus or cricket, both carriers I have no experience with. Here's a guide for vzw prepaid.
