[Q] At a loss - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

if Sprint, Virgin and Boost won't claim this phone and say that it is not in any of their databases, who else sold Sprint branded phones? I just want my MSL to move it to StraightTalk and all I have gotten is a headache. At least I know my ESN is clean..but this phone is driving me nuts!! Any ideas?

Your phone is the HTC EVO 4G LTE, correct?

Would love to, but I have no idea what rooted means.. I'm scared to change any settings on this phone right now not knowing what changing those settings may cause.

Your guess is as good as mine.. what is rooted?

You can download the app "Root Checker" from the Play store. It's fairly self-explanatory. Also, you might want to take a look at the guide in the link below:

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.

He's actually a great developer over in the wildfire s section. I ran his sense 3.5 Rom and his 2.1 and they're great. He's also helped me out through pm trying to fix some stuff. Thanks jmztaylor! And welcome to 3d world, did you get your 3d yet, or is it even out for VM?
About your poll, I pay sprint for service but my phone says Virgin Mobile because I was one of the few that had to flash that red hot VM firmware leak, but ill be back to all sprint soon.

You're a bad troll and you should feel bad. Look up bloodrain's posts if you want to be a troll.
Also OP, are you talking about Firmware or actually have bought it on VM?
IDK about you but if I'm going prepaid I'm going to go to a GSM network that runs on a good carrier like ATT.

Jmz, I flashed my sprint evolution 4g to my virgin mobile account.
I thought the Evo 3D came out just about a year ago on Sprint, perhaps 13 months. Why would anyone break contact with a year to go to move to VM? I'm sure I'm missing something here.
I recently bought the Sprint branded Evo V 4G but that's not the users you're looking for.

Do you need a donor to flash 3D to vm now that the firmware is out?
EDIT: And does it have to be a smart donor?
How's the service for Virgin Mobile? This divorce is going to cost a lot of money. Trying to cut back on everything just to stay afloat.
I installed the VM firmware the first day we were told that it had to be installed to run freeza's ROM, but I have not had many issues like others. And after flashing the nocturnal release, I cannot find anything on my phone that references VM.
How do you flash to VM? sorry if that's off-topic
On Sprint here. Worst customer service, limited signal, great price. Lol.

(Solved)Ruu and re-provision?

I'm stuck in a pickle where my phone won't roam anymore unless i go in to do some manual switching on things. From what I'm told the fixe is to ruu and re-provision to fix it. Of course though nobody is elaborating on exactly what the re-provisioning is? Anybody hook me up?
I'm s-on and unlocked

It's either activate device in the settings menu or call Sprint to have them re-add the phone to their system, basically start fresh from the networks perspective.

Ok so I'm having this same issue. I cannot get my phone to roam with data! I used the 11115 prl for a while and after the radio update I haven't been able to get my phone to roam correctly! I've done a full reset, reprovision, etc.... Nothing seems to be working! Help!

update help

So I am going to try meanrom now that swg is no more. swg has been great but I am still on 2.06 and its time to upgrade. I know I need to upgrade my radios but I dont know how to tell what radios im on or where to get the newest ones. I am rooted s-off (lazy panda).
So i guess I am asking if anyone can link me to the new radios so i can flash a new Rom. Also i assume they just get flashed by recover like everything else. Should I update anything else besides the radios?
baseband = 1.02.12.0427
Go to the link below. Use the first link under 'Firmware Downloads' in the OP. Rename the file PJ75IMG.zip, place it on the root of your external SD card and load it through your bootloader. Delete the file off your SD card once you've finished updating. This will update your PRI and radio to the newest versions.
