I bought an HTC Evo 3D on eBay. I took it to a Sprint store to activate it. They said it had been flashed to Boost Mobile.
How does one flash an Evo 3D to Sprint?
I think you would need get the original ESN or MEID. Its on the boxing of the phone I think. Its going to be a lot of work though. Resell it or get a refund if that wasnt mentioned.

Hi everyone. I currently have an HTC EVO 4G and I am in the middle of a two-year contract. I really want the HTC EVO 3D though. Am I able to trade in my EVO 4G and get the EVO 3D for $100 or do I have to pay the full price?
Text 'upgrade' to 1311.
I did that but it said that I couldn't upgrade till may 1st 2012. is there any way at all that I can buy the htc evo 3d?
Just sell yout evo on craigslist and make more money that way than get the evo 3d

I'd love to do that but if I'm still in the middle of my two-year contract, aren't I not allowed to do it?

Sure you can sell it. You could sell it and then activate a cheap $20 Sprint phone on your account if you wanted to. Just sell the Evo, and put it towards the cost of the 3d. Or you could get in touch with Sprint's customer retention and see if they'd be able to push your full $150 upgrade through for ya. They did for me, as I was also in the middle of my 2 year contract. They pushed the 150 upgrade for me, and I was able to get the Evo 3d for 199. Good luck.
Just go to a 3rd party Sprint store and ask the guy to back date your contract, that's what I do and I get upgrades whenever I want
I was in your position, I bought out of my contract for $75 so I could buy @ full upgrade pricing, gave my EVO 4G to Sprint for $150 through the buyback program & bought the 3D for $199. All billed to my Sprint account.

You could try this

And then this

Then sell your current phone and you could end up making money while switching to the 3vo

Seriously? Have you even looked at any of the suggestions? Who the f*** knows how much you will end up paying, or receiving.
We have no idea. Full price of the EVO 3D $549.99, price w/2yr upgrade $199.99. Price you receive from selling your current phone (?). Read the previous posts, use the info contained within, call Sprint. Help us to help you.
Do a little reading, try and help yourself, at least a little bit. Here's a link to my post about 3 posts back, read the links and you will find your answers.

Works for me. I pre-ordered my Evo 4G LTE the other day to replace my Evo 3D. My teenage son is on Virgin Mobile with an LG Optimus V now, so maybe I'll be able to upgrade him to my EVO 3D once I get my EVO 4G LTE.

Why are you upset about it? VM is getting an old phone, rebranded. It runs ICS, but that just tells me that our official release is not far off.

Not mad. Just upset. Im surprised they didn't do any type of trade in your ed get xxx.xx money for it towards the new one
plus, they retired it within a year. that sucks
Ok so ill start from the begining i had problems getting my extended battery to work and i took it to sprint and they claimed it had been the battery which i know it wasnt so he diagnossed it and broke my charging port and framed me for it. so i called htc corperate and got my phone sent in and repaired for free of charge i get it back 1 week later and try to activate it and it fails i take it to three diffrent stores and finally one calls sprint and they determin its a gsm mobo in the phone so what htc did was replaced the motherboard with a gsm one therefore declining my possibility to get the phone activated so i call htc and they claim its a serious deal that ive been without my phone for two weeks and its broken upon arrival.
so what the Rma escalation center ron cosman is trying to do is send an email to corperate and the repair centre to get them to do an advanced exchange to get my phone replaced with an overnighted delivery on the replacement phone.
Seriously why would htc Do this if they know its an cdma,
lol faill
and as a reimbursment for the time being which was them fiddling with my phone for 1 week there gonna send me a free white htc evo 3d battery door
Doh. Silly HTC. Someone didn't check / think.

I heard someone got an upgrade from Desire to Desire S once from a HTC repair. Shame you didn't land yourself a new phone... Could be there are no comparable 3D phones...

After all that, I'd be demanding an EVO 4G LTE.
Yea, that makes my phone/replacement debacle seem not as bad. A battery cover isn't much for compensation though.

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:

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

Hi Everyone,
I've been using an HTC Evo 4G for a while now on spring and my mom just bought a new phone to replace her HTC Evo V on virgin mobile. The Evo V is the same as the EVO 3D on sprint, it even has the same spring branding on the top right. I tried to setup the Evo V on my sprint account at home, in a store and by calling customer support. The sprint store said I needed to call support and they could do it but support said it couldn't be done. So I ask you, is it possible to use a virgin mobile HTC Evo V as an HTC Evo 3D on sprint? If so what steps do I need to take in order to have it activate and work either at home, in store or through customer support?
There is only one way to do it, and as far as I know it can't be discussed on xda. So pretty much no.

That is not always true. Check with Sprint and see if they will activate the ESN. Virgin Mobile will not activate any non-VM ESN Phones so that is what cannot be discussed, but some carriers do not care. You can log into your sprint account and see if the ESN is available for activation or go to a store and ask.

Is this to activate the Virgin Mobile Evo V on sprint or to get the sprint Evo 3D working on virgin mobile? I need to get an Evo V from Virgin Mobile activated on sprint. Thanks for your reply!

I already have. I tried to do it on m computer and it didn't recognize the phone when I put in the DEC. I went to the sprint store and they said they couldn't do it there but that if I call support they should be able to take care of it. Called support and they said it couldn't be done which has led me here.
