Hell ya brah, works wonders. The micro SD slot doubles as sim
I think no need to put any sim
it is a matter of to configure ur sim card on the phone by defending the sim data on the phone.
I am not sour about it
thanks

I'm willing to overlook the fact that this made no sense because you refrained from using all caps.
Also, no. It won't work. The Evo PHYSICALLY LACKS == DOESN'T HAVE the required hardware to communicate with GSM radio towers.
In summary: No.
Why do I have feeling this was just plain lame attempt to promote that site?

Just on the slim chance you're serious...
1.) No
2.) It's a hardware issue first, then a software issue afterwards (if you really wanted to tear it apart, install your own GSM radio somehow, and then figure out a way for the software to read from it...). But if you knew how to do that, you probably wouldn't be asking this as you'd be way more skilled than most of us on here.
3.) No...IF there is a way to unlock it on it's existing hardware, it would only work with other CDMA carriers operating on the same frequency as sprint's bands.

There ya go As far as ROM's, it depends, the sytem ROM's can often be installed on either technology, however, the Radio ROM's are technology specific.
OT I don't think this was the case, but I hope the apparent rudness to him wasn't because he is from Iran, remember, it's their leader and their government we have issue with, not the people Give him a break, his English probably isn't that great. OT

I can only speak for myself but I didn't even notice his flag until you pointed it out. I want to apologize if my reply to the first reply seemed rude in any manner. I believe in judging people for who they are an not where there from or the color of their skin. This forum is for all and I hope we all agree with that.
this will save you a few seconds of googling.
An over simplification - they are two different technologies for mobile phones in the world i.e. infrastructure on the mobile providers side.
(1) CDMA -Code Division Multiple Access - e.g. largely used in the USA
(2) GSM - Global System for Mobiles based upon TDMA ( Time Division
Multiple Access) - e.g. largely used in Europe
I found the original answer to this funny but would have loved a simple answer - would have saved me 2 minutes googling

Wrong thread.. This belongs to General.
And to answer your question - not that I know of. You might try searching google for companies that unlock it, or you can just try calling tmobile and telling them that you are going out of the country for a while, and they will unlock it for you (if you are persistent)
thanks for the soo fast reply
sorry for the wrong forum post...
I already know that i can get the unlock code from t-mobile, ebay or the unlocking companies ...
I just saw so many phones that can be unlocked through apps and i thought this might be the same case for G2x
thanks again

Call uscc support if you want your number changed.

Should this even be posted here? Also judging by the poor wording your phone has a sim card where as the mes does not. So you are crap out of luck as the mes is a cdma phone to begin with.

##8778# and you will get it
Hey, you guys! I've been stalking these forums for a long time and now I have a problem where I will need your help. Now, before I get slammed for it, I've searched these and other forums for what I need, I've Googled for hours and hours on end, I've emailed people, and I still can't find a fix to my problem. OK, enough complaining, here is my problem: I bought a Nexus S 4G a few months ago for only $120. I planned on getting it flashed to MetroPCS through their MetroFlash program. I went to their corporate store, and they said they couldn't flash my phone for legal reasons, but they directed me to a man who could flash my phone. I go to him, and he wants $150 to flash it, I say hell no and decide to do it myself. I'm regretting my decision now because ( A.) CDMA Workshop is hard as hell to learn ( B.) There is almost no support out there for this phone.
Anyways, I want to know, has anyone been successful in flashing their NS4G to MetroPCS at home? If you have, please enlighten me! I've been brain-****ting myself to make this work. Right now I'm stuck at the part where I write the ESN. I can read ESN, but when I try to write it, it says "Failed.. ESN has not been changed." I can read/write everything else, except for ESN. I have unlocked it through the SPC and the Internal Security Password. Another issue I'm having is that when I try to read the memory, it gives me an error message saying, "Process is stopped. Phone does not answer" "Process is stopped at: 0000:1000"
This process is too hard, and I call on the great minds of XDA to help me out! Please, all and any information will help! I will love you forever! Thank you in advance!
Edit: I'm using CDMA Workshop 3.8 Trial Version by the way!
Edit: I forgot to mention, everything in this thread is hypothetical and for educational purposes only.
For legal reasons xda forbids on esn hacks. I don't know where you would get help on this but post it if you find something.
Did you search youtube?
Why do you need to change the ESN? That's illegal anyway.
You can follow the Cricket instructions over at howardforums.

Yes I did, and I messaged several youtubers, but sadly no one wants to help me without charging me, which sort of defeats the purpose of doing it myself.

I need it to transfer the ESN from my MetroPCS dumbphone to my Sprint Nexus S 4G. I'm trying to get the NS4G to work on Metro. Also, can you please link me to or help me find those instructions? The search function over there is weak and I can't find anyone who has information on flashing a NS4G. Thank you so much for guiding me in the right direction though!

I agree, the basic process is universal but right now I can't find help for my issue, and even in forums for phones other than the NS4G, I can't find anyone experiencing the same problem. I could use any and all the information I can get right now, because the NS4G doesn't have any readily available simple tutorials for it to be flashed to MetroPCS. There are tutorials for Boost, Cricket, and PagePlus, and I have tried following those, but run into problems with those as well. I'm at a dead end and need help
You don't suppose to change your ESN. You call your carrier and Activate the ESN on your carrier, all you really need to do is load Metro PCS prl.

My friend has an EVO flashed to MetroPCS. I thought it was neat. There is also a thread where someone went to craigslist to find a person to flash an Epic 4g. You may find something there. Keep us updated, please. And if you figure it out for yourself, more power to ya
i'm looking to do the same thing but not to MetroPCS... i have another carrier i would like to flash to but it's a new carrier and there's NO INFO online for flashing to them... and they're online so i can't go to their store to flash this... what info would i need to get this ball rolling??
Just pay to have it done by someone who knows what they're doing. I got my NS4G flashed for $40 including 1st month of service.

Lol I had a forum member help me out with this almost step by step to the point where he helped me get everything working except data,, but I had to eventually go to a guy from Craigslist to get data working. I wish I could give him credit but he wants to remain anonymous. You know who you are! Anyways, I feel terrible for not keeping you guys updated I'd like to make it up to you guys by helping you guys flash your phones or anything related to phone flashing:thumbup:

It's referring to a "Service Mode" in CHINA that is an alternative to W-CDMA. "TDS" is just the short version of "TD-SCDMA."

I wouldn't worry or get angry though. No need to rage quit here.
