Virgin Mobile and my Evo 4g

Not going in to detail, but if anyone has any knowledge on how to, please hit me up. If you are going to post "its illegal", save it. Because honestly, I dont give a rats ass. Thanks.

It's against the law. lol

Just out of curiosity, how is it illegal?

Here is the short version. To unlock cdma phones, you need a donor phone to get the esn, meid, ect, and then clone them in to the phone you are unlocking. I guess cloning the ESN is illegal. And thats a must to unlock cdma phones to run on other carriers. I dont really know if its illegal since I own both phones.

I know a PRL code is needed... okay, I think a PRL code is needed. As far as I know b_randon14's mod spoofs it. Whether this is a functioning PRL code or not, I do not know.
As to everything else, you know more than I do already.

I can tell you how but I forgot which thread, so I would have to be digging through a whole forum section...

Also intrested in this...

Try looking in HowardForums' Virgin Mobile USA site (under Sprint Prepaid) if you haven't already. Their information is very good, although it doesn't go beyond anything too "illegal." I would recommend it as a starting point though.

I know how to get it flashed over except i don't know how to get picture mail working. I have a few ideas but no funds to try them out. If anyone has an Optimus V or Samsung Intercept that they are willing to mess around with I'd me more than happy to try to help.

You realize that even if you get the Evo 4G activated on Virgin Mobile, it's not going to be "4G" anymore?
I would wait until the EVO 3D comes out for Virgin Mobile, and until we actually have WiMAX setup and working (if it's available in your area).

I've had my evo for almost 3 years and I've never been able to use my 4g. The towns I've lived in had 4g but it was only one strip through the town and I didn't live in the area that actually had it. Only time I was able to use it was once in Las Vegas and it just drained my battery so its not even a big deal that you lose 4G. Sprint is abandoning 4G anyway and going to LTE.
Here is a link that should help everyone get their phones on Virgin.

It's nowhere near illegal or that hard to do. I've been using my sprint Epic Touch 4G on Virgin for a few months with no issues (many people have done the same. As long as you are actually paying for the service you use and not cloning someone else's phone, you're legal) . Yes I have no 4g but all the high speed web activity I do is at home on wifi. There is a step by step guide to do it. Just search "epic 4g to virgin" on these forums. It's not simple for someone who doesn't hack their phones but anyone who's had to jailbreak an iPhone should be able to do it. It took a couple of tries for mine to take as I missed a step. Be sure to follow the guide exactly. Google "epic 4g to virgin" and select the guide from groovypost.com if you want a concise guide with screenshots.
Virgin just lanched some wimax devices so i hope we can tap into that pipleine as well. Now to get 4g working...

[Q] Could someone please make a Hybrid Sprint/MetroPCS PRL?

I have an Evo 3D fully flashed to metro and I heard your internet is a lil faster with a sprint hybrid prl and a possible way to use the 4g. There is a hybrid sprint/cricket prl but not one for metro. If someone could make one for me or give me a guide on how to make one would be highly appreciated.
Thank you!!

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

Any one?

Ok I started off with the latest metropcs prl, then what I think is the latest sprint prl. Then using QPST, Start Clients, RL Editor (RL=Roaming List=PRL=Preferred Roaming List), Then File, Concatenated PRL, Join.... Then I selected the 9033.prl as the first and 25006 as the second. Joined Successfully. Then I used Service programming to send the prl to phone. Use this site to generate SPC code http://www.whiterabbit.org/android/. Surprisingly I went from 1 or 0 bars where I am to like 3-4 bars. I was shocked that it worked. I made a call and it worked fine, but I have to test more for sure. Another thing, I used the Galaxy 3 prl. Also my phone is the Huawei Verge, on the 25$ a month plan. This is their most basic phone and does not support even 3g, so I'm curious how it works on a real phone with 3g/4g/lte... HAVE FUN.
Any questions, email me at [email protected]

[Q] How do I add APNs on Verizon Galaxy S3 running 4.1.1?

I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535) running Android 4.1.1. I was told by Verizon prior to moving to England that, with this version of Android which unlocked the "world phone" capabilities (GSM), that I would be able to use my phone abroad with a new sim on a local network.
Fast forward a few weeks, and I am in England with an Orange sim in my phone. I have no problems with voice, but I cannot access any data services (I have no trouble receiving texts, but cannot send them - I think this is a problem with the sim though). After searching around the internet for a while, it seems that the solution to my problem would be to add the Orange APN settings to my phone.
HOWEVER, Verizon's version of 4.1.1 does not allow you to edit APN settings! When you go to the APN menu, there is nothing displayed and the only settings option is to Reset to Default.
The closest thing I've found to a solution is here, but it's a bit out of date as the method isn't for 4.1.1. I'm a bit wary of rooting my phone and installing a rom, as I've never done anything like that before.
Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing that might be able to offer a solution? I would be willing to root my phone if necessary, but I'd need to be directed to a pretty explicit noob guide for doing that :silly:
Thanks!

Getting root is easy with the toolkit linked. Should you have any questions you can read the thread or search galaxy s3 toolkit on YouTube. Just keep in mind some videos are outdated and that you have a Verizon cdma galaxy S3 running 4.1.1.

Search this same thread and the APN fixes are here. There is also an APN fix in Note 2 forum that should work. Once you change APN should be good to go with Orange. Say hi to my Uncle in Birmingham. He on Orange also. Cheers. :laugh:

What ended up being your solution?
I'm going to Italy tomorrow with a Verizon S3 and APN settings are locked. The phone is rooted and I would love to be able to use a local SIM on data!
Thanks in advance.

No solution yet. I'm going to look at the link above when I can get some time to sit down and focus on it. Hopefully it fixes it.
BTW, although it's billed as a CDMA phone, it is able to operate on GSM as well. That's the whole "world phone" thing that Verizon has been talking about.

I understand it's a world phone, but I wanted to drop that in because I wasn't sure if the Toolkit states "CDMA" under the device selection screen. I know the Galaxy Nexus or Razr Toolkit specifically stated CDMA. I just didn't want you to accidentally pick the wrong one. After looking at screen shots of the Toolkit you shouldn't have a problem it doesn't mention CDMA only Verizon is stated.

Unable to add APN.

Hey there,
Sorry for going there, but I have not been able to find a fix for adding in the APN on a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III. I have it on Cincinnati Bell at the moment, and have it rooted. I have voice and text, but not data. I have used the APN Manager Pro to see the APN that I need to use, but for some reason it will not use it or be able to edit it? Any thoughts?

Yes.
Get titanium backup pro and make apn mgr pro a system app.
You should be good after that.
This is confirmed working on Vodafone Italy and ill post results from China and hk in about a month

And please spread the word on this.
Spiting Verizon is my new favorite hobby.

I have a very similar problem. I have a Samsung S3, not rooted, but unlocked from Verizon. I have been in Kandahar for a month or so. My SGS3 with a local provider will make and receive calls great when coverage is there. My problem is, I can only seem to text local here not back to the US, or get email and no Google Talk. I went to the shop where I got my card here, they told me that Verizon needed to unlock my phone. I know it is unlocked but I made the call home, Verizon told me what I already knew. I went back into the store, once again, next they said Verizon needed to unlock my APN? I called again, finally I got a response from Verizon saying that Samsung needs to release the patch so Verizon can unlock it. If anyone knows of such a APN patch I would greatly appreciate it. My lap top screen got cracked during a patrol so doing all of this and email is quite the B!tch! I have always had success with this forum and hope it will continue. Once I send my lap top back home to be warrantied, I will not have any way of getting the usual business done for at least a month. I'm trying to hold off on the lap top until I can get my phone fully functional. I do not have internet connection on my phone, just my computer, I guess that is the APN, that is still locked. I could do all of this if I had WiFi, but it is not allowed here by the company that provides internet. They do have WiFi in some areas, but it is always bogged down with everyone else trying to use it. Also, I am not too sure if I want to attempt to do a root, the internet service here is very slow. Thanks for your help. Please remember, I am atleast 8 1/2 hours ahead of you, so response time will be delayed.

[Q] (Q) Can a LG Spectrum 2 be flashed to Page+, Boost, or used on GSM?

I bought 3 LG Spectrum 2. Now I want to see fi I can flash them to page plus, one to Boost Mobile and unsure of the options for the 3rd (Possibly use it with a GSM sim)
From what I have seen this forum is frequented by some of the brightest.
Any ideas?
What I have tried.
CDMA Workshop 3.9 (full Legit version) copied IMEI from Boost handset (purely for educational purposes) both with the LTE sim in place and without LTE Sim. To the best of my recollection it restored it back to VZW and connected and would make calls. No change. (But when I logged back into my verizon account one of the Spectrums was no longer represented by the picture of the handset just the phone number)
I have switched the RUIM only to NV Only. and nothing. Any advice, recommendations.
If this is not appropriate for the forum please let me know and I will gladly remove it.
I have seen many places that prohibit discussions of handset modification.
If anyone has info how to flash a LTE handset to use with pageplus or Boost I would like any advice where to start looking to learn how to do it.
Thanks Everyone.. Have a great Summer.

Freedompop Settings?

I have been working on porting my old evo v 4g to an evo 4g via cdma tools etc. That is done however the problem is that I am not sure if it is working completely because I get 1x service so far and the data profile appears to be partially updated. I was hoping that someone with the freedom phone could help me by posting all of there data profile settings excluding anything personal; Such as the first part of the username or phone number. Please help and thanks.

Come on someone has to have the freedom pone or phone on freedompop. At least post something.
