Alright so I am writing this thread because I was having a hell of a time flashing back and using other phone's guides until I finally figured out the exact steps.
PREREQUISITES:
QPST 2.7 or higher (google this yourself)
Sprint PRL 60690 https://www.dropbox.com/s/udvajb1sthntvts/60690.prl
your msl (download msl reader from the play store)
dial ##3242#
common sense
1. open up QPST and select your phone (I will not bother with teaching you how to figure out the com port crap since there are so many guides for it already)
2. go to the roam tab and load the prl then click write to phone write your spc (msl) and press ok
3.then when the phone restarts dial ##3242# if diag mode does not automatically pop up
4.then go to the M.IP tab and select the profile and press edit, it should say [email protected] or something similar, change it to [email protected] and press write to phone
5.go to the PPP tab when the phone reboots and go to the UM subtab and replace the user ID with [email protected]
6. Go to the tethered NAI box and write [email protected]
7.go to the AN subtab and go to the user ID tab and write [email protected]
8.write to phone
9.when phone reboots dial ##3282# and press edit mode, write your spc, and press data profiles then menu at the top right and press restore defaults.
10.When phone reboots it should be ready to be activated on sprint

That is what I used and it worked, just make sure to do EVERY step otherwise it won't activate, I wrote this guide as soon as I got mine activated.
Do any of you know how likely it would be for someone at the boost store to flash my sprint EVO 3d to boost?

I would just use the same guide as the sph-d700 as that was my original phone and it has the same info(and I'm getting it back today) but where it says to connect with usb and press tethered modem just put it in diag mode instead and go on with the instructions, the boost store will not flash it so don't even waste your time

I tried to fix MMS not receiving, tried the APN rout, and managed to mess up my mobile connection. I've been searching threw forums but nothing helped so far. All my phone says is searching for service. Any help would be greatly appreciated. i've kept searching and from what i can find i may have a bricked radio, help.
mobile network type, UNKNOWN:0
service state, out of service
my phone number, unknown
MIN, unknown
PRL version, unknown
hboot, 1.15
S-off
Try this
From the Home screen, tap Phone
On the phone dial pad, enter ##72786#
On the Please Enter Password screen, enter the 6-msl & tap OK
At the SCRTN screen, press Menu and tap Reset
When the EPST message appears, tap OK
On the next message, tap OK; the phone will then clear internal programming and reboot
After the phone reboots, it should
"no guarantee" connect to the network and begin hands-free activation.

No after the reboot it just started like regular nothing special.
Do you have fastboot enabled ?? If so uncheck it. And try it again.
Also you can try this
On the phone dial pad, press ## followed by the 6-digit msl#. Example: ##123456#
You will see the Service Program screen; tap Edit Mode
Tap Mobile Directory Number (MDN) to select
Select the number key on the virtual keyboard, enter the 10-digit MDN, then tap OK
Tap MSID to select
Select the number key on the virtual keyboard, enter the 10-digit MSID, then tap OK
Verify you entered the correct MDN and MSID then press the Menu key
Tap Commit Modifications
After the prompt appears verifying updates, tap OK or let the phone reset automatically
After the phone reboots, tap Menu > Settings > System Updates > Update Profile to update the data profile.
Your "mdn" is your full 10digit mobile number.

Why don't you try instead of waiting for a user with a locked phone to read your post it may be a long wait .Or a Google ask may return an answer .
jje
You don't even have to google it or ask here, ask borrow your friends SIM card, better yet from different network operator, and insert it into the phone, you will know

Hi. It really helps if you explain what you actually need along with more details about the phone.
What update are you on - Build version?
Have you modified the phone at all?
Are you referring to flashing as in installing the android system or flashing as in trying to program it for another CDMA network?
Are you looking for an official or custom rom?
I think you are looking for this though:
USCellular SCH-R970 (Galaxy S4) under 4.3
Open Dialer enter *#22745927
When Enable/Disable Menu comes up tap "Hidden Menu Disabled"
Select "Enable" on Popup
Press Home button
Open Dialer
Dial *#0808#
When PhoneUtil Opens Select PDA
Tap Qualacomm USB Setting
Select DM+Modem+ADB
Tap OK
(Remember after flashing to return and put phone back to MTP+ADB)
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ______________________________________________
USCellular SCH-R970 (Galaxy S4, S5) 4.3
Dial ##DMMODE#
Tap On
(Remember after flashing to return and Tap OFF)
If that isn't it, then provide the needed details so we can be on the same page.
i still need your help please

the last info you gave me was great but i think i must have missed a step because i got into debug menu screen but afterwards i couldnt get antane
signal so i did factory reset so i could try process again but now *#22745927 does nothing can you please help me?
I'm not clear on what the issue is, so not really sure what to suggest. Are you saying you can't get access to USCC's network? No talk, text, web, etc? Without any details on what you've done to the phone or what you are trying to do, there's not much anyone can do to help.
still need help

yes i couldnt access any network at all. at top of screen where antanae bar was susposed to be just had a circle with a line thru it. i factory reset it
so now i have signal but no other sim cards work in it. if any other sim card is put in it. it gives invalid sim message. i havent did any other thing to phone. just trying to get back to debug service menu. the code you gave me before worked the first time but now it does not. i just wanted to network unlock the phone so i could use it on different network
Well there's your issue. You can't unlock that one for use with other networks. You can do it on the Sprint version, but no one ever figured out that one.

Witch firmware did you try?
I had mass failures till I flashed the newest update (NK1)
So if finally downgraded this too 4.1.1 So i can use service mode. These are the steps in service mode.
1. Type *#197328640# and it brings up the factory service menu
2. Select (1) UMTS
3. Select (1)Debug Screen
4. Select (8) Phone Control
5. Select (6)Network lock
Right as i click Network lock i get zero options.. theirs supposed to be something like this..
6. Inside the Network lock menu, Pick option (3) Perso SHA256 off
It isnt there can someone please help me out with this. Im so stumped i just bought this phone for my att service but this is Us Cellular. Any help in the future will be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
No one ever figured out a way to do the unlock on that model. I'm sure it wasn't for lack of trying. Have seen plenty of other thread requests like this that were never solved and the phone has been out for awhile now...
