Can anyone assist me with how to flash CDMA devices over to boost? I am a dealer for Boost and having inventory challenges, however I have access to unlocked CDMA phones but need to know how to activate them. Any assistance with this is greatly appreciated!

Any one out there that can help?
Heh, CDMA devices are locked to their carriers bud. Even if it were possible, most carriers are going to give you a 'WTF' response. It's not as simple as unlocking an HSPA/UMTS phone as the internal hardware has to be reprogrammed with different carrier codes. This is not something a provider will do over the phone.
there is 4 nv files to copy from a cheap boost phone and write to evo or so of course you need to read all info from boost .so you can finish the program once done you have now cloned phone

cricket activates others carriers cdma devices all the time,its really not a big deal. if boost allows other carriers phones,you prolly just need to program them in a similar manner.
i know cdmaworkshop can be used to change meid,min,etc. but i dont know for sure thats the best thing to use.
hopefully someone has an answer,id like to know it as well
I currently have a clean sprint tp2 cdma that i had bought used online and i also have an account with boost mobile. i have read and studied many of the techniques from this site and others. My problem lies with the boost cs rep. they will not for nothing activate this phone and i am getting extremely frustrated with this step. I wanted to know if anyone could help me with what to say or how to go about talking on the phone or anything that would help so i can get my tp2 working on boost network. Thank you in advance
I have a few question about PRLs, answer what you can or all if you are able if you want
1) I have a ns4g flashed to boost. Can it run on a Verizon PRL?
2) Im on a sprint PRL atm should i switch to a boost PRL to get my data to work?
3) Do different PRls affect my data speed and reception bars?
Thanks
Im in another country but ill see if i can answer it
1) Boost, referring as your carrier, you cant run verizon because it is a totally different company. Its like putting your car keys for your car into your front door. It simply does not match. boost only works for sprint mobiles btw.
2) Yes you should. Since i said boost only works on sprint mobiles. Boost is....well reviews say it is a faster/better "extra" carrier. it is reccommended to get some expert to flash your phone for you or you know what your doing so your phone will work on that network completely, not just talk or text but everything.
3) You need to know which PRL's (preffered roaming list) you need/want. Some area's just dont work.You need an expert, or the person you got your boost mobile from.
Hello guys, I am new to Motorola phones and I have this one that I wanna flash to boost, it's from Verizon. Can some one help me please or post a link to a thread. Thank you.

There are two ways to do this.
The easy way: buy a Sprint compatible smartphone.
The hard way: buy a Sprint compatible smartphone.
Good luck.
Couldn't you just drop a Boost PRL on there?

Will that magically change the radio transceiver from VZW's 700MHz to Sprint's 800?
I don't know anything about flashing the phone, but from what I have read, Verizon uses CDMA 800, and I think only uses 700 MHZ for LTE.
I am pretty sure both Verizon and Sprint use the same frequency for regular CDMA.
Sprint's network won't see your phone unless your IMEI is in their list. Boost furthermore usually won't even activate Sprint phones, they usually only activate phones that have their name on the back of them, and therefore are in their MEID whitelist. Your Droid's MEID is not on Sprint's list, it's on Verizon's. Of course, like in some other guides, it is sometimes possible to change the MEID, but that's shifty business and could get you into serious trouble, so I wouldn't delve too far into that.
If you want to verify that your phone is indeed compatible with Boost, you could drop a Boost PRL on it. Your phone will show always roaming, and dialing *611 will bring you to Sprint's customer service instead of Verizon's. (But their customer service will boot you because you're not a customer.)
