So I did the unlock and put the new sprint rom on it. I then loaded the prl, changed the msl to all 0's. I called verizon to change it from my juke. They told me the esn is not in there database, she had to submit a form to try to get it changed, it will be some days if they do it at all. Is there anything I can do to get this to work on Verizon without them trying to add the esn and it possibly getting denied. I would like to get it up and running today. Does anybody have a way to fix this, that is in noob terms. Thank you in advance!
Yes, you can supercid it and then clone your existing esn onto it.

ok I attempted to clone it to my existing juke phone that I have active on verizon. When i change the esn I get no signal. Even when prl is loaded. When I change the esn back to the stock esn, I get a signal, but verizon won't activate that esn, they called me back and said its a sprint esn and they couldn't activate it. Man I am pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. Can anybody offer some help, or post the steps they used to get this working?
any help would be great

vzw hasnt fully made their system open yet. they wont accept an esn that they didnt sell. so no sprint esn will be activated. the only thing you can do is change the esn, but since that makes you not able to get a signal, seems like you might not be doing that right...
i don't understand what im doing wrong
You're not doing anything wrong. Verizon WILL not activate any phone on their network that doesn't have a Verizon ESN. The mogul will run perfectly fine on the network, but because it has a Sprint ESN, they will not activate it. Now...if you're trying to clone the ESN of an existing Verizon phone, that's a whole different story and is quite illegal.
I don't believe that cloning the esn from a juke will work -- because VZW knows the phone type by the esn. It seems that you would need to use an esn from a junk mogul
give it a try?
the phne should at least get a signal from that esn though. It gets nothing! Its like I'm in a no coverage zone
i just activated my sprint motoQ on verizon. they did not question the sprint ESN at all.
flashed a vz image and vz prl, and all is good.

is it possible to use verizon phone for sprint? Then use your rom?

I would love to know this. It would cut my bill by about 75%.
Asking the experts...
I have been reading and following the titan for some time and are ready to purchase. Looking at Verizon vs. Sprint for new device, Verizon is way more expensive. Looking at eBay there are many for Sprint and next to zero for Verizon.
I would like to bid on a "clean ESN" phone for Sprint, then activate on Verizon. Possibly even activate on Sprint for some time then switch. (I have under 2 months left on my contract).
I have found a few that are NIB for a seller and asked for the ESN. He states he gives them only to the winner. I say red flag, but does he have a security issue (I could clone it??)?
And from above, could I do the double activate or if Verizon says it is clean only do it there?
Thanks.
I am also trying to do this. I have the cracking 6800 package, followed the instructions and was able to get the cid to all o's, although i am stuck in CDMA workshop and cant change the ESN because i am not sure what port to connect on( i have tried all them no luck) Anyone with any ideas would help me out alot. Also if the phone is currently unlocked with 2.4 loader but has the sprint 3.35 radio is it safe to flash to a stock verizon rom? Do i need to even do this? I have flashed with a custom rom then selected verizon as my carrier but in EPST config it still shows SPCS.

SHOW OFF.......lol

I have a Thunderbolt that I got activated on Verizon. The 4g works, but the reps keep saying that the 3g side was flashed to cricket. I can get texts, but 3g and voice calls are not working. Anyone know how to get this thing back on Verizon?
There is a post in Development that you could read on.
Can you link me to it?
Look here & then just search for what you need

I have a cricket flashed thunderbolt, and I dont know if on verizon *228 send works (it doesnt on cricket) but if it does than this is an easy fix, should be able to load a verizon prl using cdma workshop to the phone and update. if not it will be a little bit more involved but should be easlily doable
Does anyone know yet if the Evo 4G lte is flashable to metropcs yet? I have checked houdini and it is not listed, but usually there is a way of flashing a phone even if it's not listed. Thanks
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's not possible until there's s-off. Otherwise no way to change radios for another carrier.
You are able to flash an htc without it being s-off. The only thing that changes when you flash it to metropcs is the prl. It changes the phone to run with metropcs prl's, so that you are able to call and text and use data and such.
edit:I'm not sure if a radio change is needed or not...
You should have no problem flashing to any of the CDMA pre-paid carriers.
Guess I learn something every day. I thought nand unlocked was required to change carriers.
Regardless, if you do get it flashed, you won't be able to use the LTE portion of the evo lte, just 3g, 1x and voice.
yes you can mine its flash to verizon prepaid $50 unlimited no LTE but verizons 3G is fast
For some reason, after flashing 4.6, my EVO LTE has decided that when it's in Sprint Only mode, I get no service, when it's in Automatic, I get Verizon 3G, and when it's Roam Only, I get Verizon 3G.
Any ideas? I've flashed PRLs 12124, 24006, and 25006, and it's the same thing for all three (with the exception that 12124 gets 3G roaming and the others are 1x)
I've already updated PRL and Profile normally, no give. Did a service reset, also no give. I'm starting to think Sprint might just be down...
Great, this is your chance to get out of Sprints contact without getting a ETF.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I actually figured out what's going on, so I have a fix if you're stuck on 1x:
First, go do a TWRP backup. You should always do this anyways.
Second, find your MSL using MSL Reader.
Third, you need to do an RTN restore (this wipes everything and then forces your phone into an automatic activation with Sprint). You can do this by hitting ##RTN# in the dial-pad and then entering in your MSL
Once the phone has restored to factory settings and then activated, you can go back into TWRP and restore your backup
This worked for me when my phone was having issues. It may or may not work for you.
Anybody know how to tell which carrier my DNA would be flashed to? I bought a phone online, and I've been having a hell of a time trying to activate it on Verizon's network. The previous owner did not wipe his data before giving the device to me, and I noticed that there were apps that pertained to PagePlus. So I have a suspicion that this DNA might be flashed for PagePlus and not Verizon. Is there a way to reflash this device back to Verizon network or am I just screwed?
If the ESN was modified than you need special software to restore it. I'm not an expert on this but I've had lots of phones flashed. All the software and the data profile can be restored from the phone but restoring the ESN takes a bit more. What's more is without the box or the original ESN tag it will be hard to know if its been changed or not.
