So I've searched all over the net for info on this, but I can't find any solid guides explaining how to do this. I am trying to get a rezound on to boost mobile, but I'd like to learn how to do it for any phone (specifically Android phones). So any information regarding this will be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Flashing the phone to another carrier usually involves, APN changing, chipset programming, and other modifications. While there are similarities in the process for each phone and carrier the exact process is different for every device and carrier. I would recommend taking a look at this guide as well as this guide if your interested in learning more about carrier programming.

So, I am selling my and my wife's E3Ds and the person who wants to buy them wants to know if I can flash them to be used on Boost. I just did some quick Googleing, but only found people who said they did it but no information on how.
Is this something that is doable and worth my time? Has anybody around here done it?
Side note, I tried searching but when I do my app FCs. :-\ Idk why...
Thanks in advance.

Yes it can be done. Is it worth it well that's up to the user. Google search it and you will find all you need. FYI none of the guides you will find will be complete you have to read between the lines.

Yes it can be done, but the process usually requires a Boost CDMA Device, to get the account started etc, etc here is a tutorial at youtube.

Ended up selling them to someone else who didn't need them on Boost.
Thanks anyway though.

It's possible somebody could come in and mention the pros and cons of learning some specific way. But everybody learns in different ways. Just head to Amazon and pick a book that looks interesting to you. Don't worry about how other people learned it. Just jump in and get your feet dirty.
You may find some useful information in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...andriva Linux 2010, OpenSUSE, and others! (?)

What I normally do is root so that I get cwm to make band backups and I can use fancy apps that help for further steps.
Unfortunately you'll have to read 1000s of posts about kernels/roms and how to use certain tools.
I'm no expert myself,but the more I read,and like watching you tube videos,the more I learn.
Also,you've got to tread carefully if your phone is still under warranty and you need to send it back....lol

Ok just to be clear: I am not asking what people think is the best method, please take a look at the questions
If nothing goes wrong with the delivery I will receive a Samsung galaxy s3 tomorrow . Since I want to root it I have been looking for available methods.
With some googling and looking around on xda I found several tutorials (of questionable quality I might add. Is it so hard to link to developer pages instead of a mediafire link that might be outdated a month later? ) and methods.
So far the most common methods I found are the following:
- The Samsung galaxy s3 toolkit
- Chainfire's CF-ROOT
At first glance cf-root seems the most straightforward method. I am however wondering if there are any drawbacks, for example; I see some issues with cwm listed and also no busybox(isn't this included in most roms and shouldn't I be able to install it from the market as well?)
The toolkit seems to be the most feature rich and to me it looks like the third rooting option is the most complete one. However I am not able to find a nice summary/manual for the toolkit, it might be so user friendly that such a thing is not needed but in my experience such a thing never is. It also seems that I end up with factory default phone with this method?
So my questions are basically as follows:
- Are there are big differences in the methods I found?
- Which method is preferable?
- Any drawbacks I should know about? (I know about the flash counter)
- Am I overlooking any better options?
P.S.
I am not new to rooting and custom roms. Just new to doing it with samsung phones a HTC Desire has a slightly different rooting process.
The rooting toolkit is so easy. Idiot proof

cf all the way, flash counter can be reset by using triangle away then flashing stock,

I repeat again...cf is the best method, safest, cwm issues are generally with 6.x.x.x, the whole #1 of the toolkit is one big instruction book....and all this can be found and deduced by searching and reading, I did...Why can't you?

I did gather indeed that the toolkit is indeed a....toolkit and can be used to flash cf-root as well if I wanted to. But the toolkit also includes a rooting method.I am having a hard time actually finding any factual data about the workings of the two methods and their differences.
by now you could have rooted and tried a couple of roms

Really tnx for reading... I am getting my phone tomorrow and I am doing some research in advance (like stated in the op) and make a educated decision. I do appreciate the help but I am really trying to find as much information as possible. And so far not a lot of people can give me any factual information about the differences and all I get is "method X is the best because it worked for me!" Which basically only answers the question what method prefer but not why they do so.
So for people overlooking it these are my questions regarding cf-root and the toolkit:
- Are there are big differences between the methods?
- Any drawbacks I should know about? (I know about the flash counter)
- Am I overlooking any better options?

Yeah it seems really easy to do, a lot easier than my desire 2 years ago
But the same goes for the toolkit, so I am still looking for someone who can explain the structural differences between the two methods of rooting and the results.
Hi, I've came across several posts online about people using their incredible on the straight talk service. I have the cdma workshop already, qpst & other software even a remote access program. I really would be thankful if someone could help me with doing this? I know its possible because theirs people that will do it for a fee. It would mean a lot if someone could point me to a step by step guide or just help me in general? Thank you so much.
