Looking to sell my TP2 on boost currently. What will the person buying the phone have to do to get it working on their account? I know I'd turn my phone off for starters. Do they just give boost the ESN that was programmed to it and edit the MSID and such in the EPST? Or am I missing something?
Nobody have any ideas at all?
I got my answer from the guys over at PPC. Might as well just stay over there! You guys are no help at all.
I would only assume that since the Dec is already entered into the system, even if the phone's service was turned off you wouldn't have much of a problem, but you never know what your going to run into. I've had to switch back and forth between my TP2 and an old moto krzr, but that was from within my already existing account. If you find out the correct answer I would appreciate it if you would let me know. Thanks.

The other day i found the Galaxy s and dont use android cause i have a HD2 but was wondering if there is a way to reflash the phone so everything gets deleted off it, was gonna possibly give it to my brother or sell. I know Verizon uses CDMA as a band but is there anyway to use it for tmobile? Dont think so but someone might know more. Thanks!
whats up with posting two threads?
I would find the number or person that it belonged to and return it to them. Thats just me though. If I lost my phone I would like someone to do the same.
Hi, I have a Sprint HTC Arrive that I want to use with Boost Mobile, so I was thinking that I could possibly change the ESN on the Arrive to match that of other device that I used to activate my Boost service. Can anyone point me in the right direction for how to accomplish this (if its even possible)?
I have already have QPST & CDMA Workshop 2.7, and have confirmed that I can successfully connect to both phones using both softwares.
Hey,
I cannot be of too much help here as I live faaaar away from you, but I once searched the web and I can assure you that there is a way to unlock the phone from provider perspective. Just adjust your keywords and Google will do the trick
Cheers
thanks.
I search a lot of keywords:"change esn","htc arrive change esn","htc T7575 esn/change esn...",what's keywords to search? pls point me.
ESN swapping may be illegal in some areas. it may be possible for u to get it activated under boost if u do not tell the reps what phone it is.

htc arrive
you need to use cdmatool to change the imei not the esn. however if anybody know the htc 16 digits password for sprint. just like the samsung 16 digit password then we will be able to get this done. unfortunaly you will not be able to change the imei unless you have this password. cdma workshop 3.6 has a new htc feature but i dont know how they did it unless they send the password before they make a change. again i can not find this password and i dont even know where to find it. if anybody has a tutorial or any idea where this password might be please let me know.
Hey Guys,
I tried searching, but I have no idea what I'm really looking for. I bought a used HTC Evo 3D that was used on Sprint, and switched onto my Alltel Plan. I have the MSL code that I got from CDMA Workshop, and the phone has phone, sms/mms, and wifi, but no mobile data.
The mobile data still tries to connect to the Sprint Network. How do I get it to communicate with Alltel's? Does it have to do with PRL Files or APN"s? Maybe some of the settings in the ##DATA# prompt?
I don't fully understand this stuff, and I don't really know where to go or what to look for, so I apologize if this has been asked before (most likely) or if this is in the wrong section.
Can anyone at least tell me what I need to look for to get this working, if it is at all possible? PRL's, APN's, Radios? Am I able to pull any of it off of my old CDMA Desire?
Just throw me a bone in the right direction. I've been at this for a week now and I'm just going in circles.
I think I got it:
APN's are used for sms/mms
PRL's only deal with which towers you use for calling
Radio's are what I'm looking for to get my mobile data working?
Which brings me to my next few questions.
Does it have to be a carrier specific Radio?
Does it have to come off of the same type of phone, or at least from one of similar hardware structure?
What would be my chances of flashing a foreign radio onto my phone?
If I'm going to be paying for the mobile data, I would really enjoy being able to use it
Still no luck getting it to work. Still no luck getting a reply here. Surely someone here has something valuable to say, one way or the other.
I want to know if the Sanyo Juno can be used as a donor phone when flashing to Shift to Boost Mobile? Or does it HAVE to be an Incognito or Rant? I thought it only had to be 3g. The only reason im asking is because on the back of my Juno it says QUALCOMM 3G CDMA. Unsure exactly what that means but I always assumed my phone was 3g
Also instead of creating another topic, what i've been hearing is that Flashing my Phone to boost is a much harder Process then if I were to flash it to Metro PCS or Cricket.
Personally I'd rather have Boost since that's what I like, But what about the performance if I were to Flash to either Metro, Virgin, Cricket or even Straight Talk? Do any of the other carriers have a clear advantage over Boost? And I dont mean their network in general but more along the lines if I were to have an EVO Shift Flashed to anyone of them. Which is the best performing network to Have on EVO shift?
Just throwing this out there. I don't know where your at as far as Flashing the device. Whether you want to do it yourself, or don't care if someone else does it. I know around here where I live there are several BOOST Mobile places that will Flash the device over to BOOST for you. Fully functioning with MMS, SMS, Data, and calling features. IDK what they charge, or if they do mail order. But I'm sure if you check there should be someplace near you that will do it for you.
I just recently came back from San Antonio so I know what you mean. There is probably a phone place on every single corner that will flash your phone for you. And cheap too. Like 20-30 dollars. But right now i'm in Ashtabula Ohio. Which is basically Bumblefuck.. I wouldnt mind paying someone else to flash it but people really try to charge something ridiculous like 70-150 dollars depending on if I need a donor phone or not. That's honestly the only reason why i'm tryna figure this **** out myself because I feel that price is a rip off. IDK though, I might try cricket instead because i'm hearing that's much much easier to flash too
Have you checked HERE? You may be able to get better info, or leads.
Yeah a couple people directed me there. I read the whole thread. But it seems to me it's more about helping the original poster get his MMS and Voicemail working on his phone that's already flashed to Boost mobile. Doesn't really explain how I can go about Flashing myself.
This guide Here explains how to flash to boost. I followed it pretty good all the way to the point where I had to flip and change my esn/meid.. That's where it got confusing and I stopped as I didnt want to damage my phone.
And most of the guides I find are nearly a year old or so. So they all say that the only phones that can be used as donor phones are either the Incognito or The Rant. Meaning for me to use Boost I would have to buy either one. Which brings me back to my original question of Is the Juno capable of being a donor phone as well?
That I don't know. But I know there's a thread on how to put the OG EVO4G on Boost. It gets a lot more traffic than the Shift one. Maybe someone can point you in the right direction there. Also a quick search came up with THIS, and THIS THREAD.
hello all i am new to the fourms!!!
i am trying to get my p6201 setup with att DataConnect in the US. I went to the store, and they were unable to set it up becuase it was being recognized as a phone per its IMEI. They told me to call att 800 customer support number to try and set it up since they have more options.
i called them, and they did set me up with that DataConnect plan, however, they are having trouble activating my plan. So, i can't use 3g as of now.
i've been transferred to 18 different people there and i have to wait until monday to speak with sales dept. again.
my questions are:
1: has anyone else experienced this?
2: the phone is unlocked, or at least it said it was in the description where i bought it. do I need to flash a different firmware for it?
3: any advice on how I can get it working? or else i will need to ship it back
ty all in advance!

bump, no members welcome new people to fourms? can anyone please provide some insight to this question? ty
I have had 6200 on att since novemeber (voice and data), and I will never tell them I have it.
I've heard of some people having great luck with them.
will you be using this for data only?
at&t can be really dumb when it comes to these things. How many were marveled/amazed at your Tab? I think there's been a few others with similar issues to yours.
the key, i believe is finding the right helpful person/rep.
your firmware and baseband should be fine, and you should be unlocked as well.
what are your APN settings?
where are you using this device? in USA? what is the coverage in your area?
do you have a store in your area you can go to? the ones in my area are usually open saturday and sunday, if you have time drop by and try to find a helpful person. TIP: explain your situation but dont give them name/number until you trust that they will help and not try to tell you that you cant use it, etc..
