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.

Armenian, thanks for the reply.. but is page plus available in new york? and is it $45 a month with taxes included? please tell me more.. thanks !
Hello, I'm checking out the "bay" to find an used Evo 3d with clean esn.
I found one that it's perfect for me but it's only for Sprint networks (CDMA).
I have tried to check if it's possible to port an Evo 3D CDMA phone to other network with one of many IMEI online unlock services.
Surely you'll know this better than me... so I ask the great Xda-dev community to help me know if this is really possible before I buy the phone.
Thanks in advance for ANY reply and sorry for my bad english.

If you are trying to use it on a gsm network, it is not possible whatsoever
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
Only networks other than Sprint are Boost, Cricket, Metro PCS. Dev forum has plenty of information on how to get the phone to work on those networks.
Many thanks. So the only chance I have to get a working evo 3d in italy I've to buy a GSM one...
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA
Wasn't there a suggestion that you could remove the wimax part, solder in a sim card sold, and then flash gsm software?
Personally.. I'd just sell the evo 3d and get another phone.
There is a way to get it on Verizon from I have heard. There was some members that had it on Verizon.

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.

dont need it to work on lte. 3g evdo is fine. i can get 2mbps on that and thats more than enough for now.
I wasnt able to find the software on here though. anyone know where? I google but didnt find anything.
I can get you the names of the software I used to flash mine to cricket. Your gonna need a Verizon prl.

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

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.
is it possible to use the evo 4g lte with vigin mobile carrier?? if so can anyone give me a push in the right direction on how to unlock it so that it can be used wwith virgin mobile thanks
Some body has to know if this is possiblr or not please help need to know asap please thanks everybody
