Yes, you can flash it to boost. If you search, there are several threads on it.
Yes you can flash Sprint phones to Boost but if i were to flash a phone, id flash it to Cricket Wireless but thats just me

I not sure what frecuenquies Verizon works with, but there's no chance to change that even with rooting or flashing a new radio....

I figured as much since Verizon is CDMA and ATT is GSM but i wasnt sure if there might just be some sooper sekret way to do it that i wasnt aware of
The HTC Thunderbolt is the closest resembling phone Verizon has to the Inspire.
Yeah but she already has the Incredible 2 and we cant afford to just buy a 500dollar phone just wondered if there was a way to unlock the Inspire to work on Verizon and her account if there isnt its cool ill just have to listen to her *****in about her Incredible then not listen to what i tell her to do on how to fix her problems LOL

Cdma and GSM are not compatible, ever. A quick search would tell you that

I flashed my NS4G to Boost... it was a long and agonizing road, but I think i finally got it working correctly.
my phone is currently 100% stock with gingerbread 2.3.7
since this was such a stressful flash, i'm kind of worried about "not fixing what's not broken"...
however, i'd love to re-root it and flash a custom ROM. Will doing this mess up any of the modifications i had to do to get calls, text, and data to work?
(they were all done in QPST)
I'm not going to do it until i have confirmation... so let me know and ease my mind!
thanks

i also have a nexus 4g on boost. i've just about had every kernal and rom on this board for it (both gingerbread and ICS)
i hope that helps.

so a standard rom flash will retain all boost settings?
yes.
keep in mind mms fix only works on gingerbread as far as i know.
the APN can't be changed on ICS roms.

If you use voice dialer and say "open APNs", it will let you edit the apn. Does this not work to get mms working?

what you are talking about can not be talked about as it is illegal to change the esn and meid all all other device identifiers that are registered to the fcc. Each phone has a unique id to it that is represented to the fcc. I have also been talking with Boost employess and area managers and boost is getting ready to kick off the users who have "flashed" phones on Boost that do not belong on boost. This is going to be done as Boost can still tell what type of phone you have other then the esn / meid as the device still sends out certain other device ids to the network when you use certain programs. Also by trying to send updates to your phone sprint can request the system information from your phone that can tell them the actual make and model and firmware and all that you are running. And you thought carrier iq was bad...
if you wait a few months or so the evo 3d will be on sprints virgin mobile with ics included and sense 3.6...
Boost mobile will be getting the HTC Evo design 4g soon as well...
i myself dont understand why boost is going 4g when sprint is going lte... but another stupid move by sprint.
does anyone have a link to a how to flash my nexus s 4g to boost? I'd really like to do this. cant afford sprint anymore...
I just bought from Verizon the Nexus Prime and truthfully I hate paying out my arshe for nothing. So can someone explain how I can get and use another provider like Boost. I know the with Metro Pcs I can "Flash" my Nexus but then I loose the web and many other features which I don't want to loose. Truthfully I don't want to sacrifice anything I just want to use my Nexus through Boost. The question is, "Can I and if so should I r00t my phone?" Thank you for helps.
I don't know about the boost thing but some people know how flash to metro and have the web and messaging.

almost all verizon phones are GSM network phones, Boost Mobile runs on a CDMA network so I have never heard of flashing between networks (I could be wrong).
I have an EVO 4g from spint which is CDMA, I found it fairly easy to flash over once I got SDK setup but its different for everyone. You need to root to do this and I recommend doing it even if ya dont flash it. Please don't try to hold me responsible for what happens to your phone I just wanted to give you some info. seriously you need to google it alot before your sure you can flash between networks. here is a link to flash to boost mobile

this is a evo 4g method so you will need to research if your phone isn't the same which I assume it isnt but this will give you an idea whats involved and the steps. As far as rooting you can find that anywhere on xda for model specifics. Hope this helps

I have "rooted" the Nexus and relax it was so or to easy to do, I would never hold anyone at fault because a hacker is suppose to be able to accept defeat but I rooted it in 45 seconds. Thank you for all your help, now I need to find if I can flash it to Boos. Last question, "If I flash my Nexus to Metropcs does it have ALL the funcionality as it does with Verizon?
if you flash it correctly or someone does it for you, most of your features will be there...I know a lot of people complained they didnt have data or MMS after but thats because the flashing wasn't done properly. You cannot "flash" to t-mobile, you can "sim unlock" a GSM phone to work on t-mobile but it would have to be an AT&T phone, not verizon or sprint since they will only pick up their respective frequencies within the states.

Did you ever end up flashing you phone to another network
sent from my rezound
Rom: BAMF ICS v1.1
kernel:sebastinFM
I've never heard of flashing between networks such as GSM and CDMA. I may be mistaken, but im pretty sure you can't.
First of all, sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum or if it has been asked somewhere already, but I was not able to find it anywhere though Google and searching through this site.
Anyways, I was wondering if it is possible to fully and effectively unlock a AT&T S3 to use on the VZW network. I know vzw has a secured cdma network that only allows approved devices but with all the great devs out there, is there some wah to do it? Thanks for any input !

I don't think you can do that as Verizon uses different lte bands and two its cdma network even tho it uses a sim! I could be wrong but I know it can only work the other way round but thats only on 3G tho

I have the same problem except the other way around...I want to convert a Verizon one to att. I already flashed a AT&T rom and have working voice and data, but only 2g which is so slow, I don't even remember how I lived with it. I'm thinking of just buying a motherboard from the att one and sticking it in my Verizon one. Does anyone know if the motherboard has the part I need for the radios, or is the radio separate?
Sounds easier to try to do a trade on Craigslist or something.

I've also running on EDGE connection, which is horrid, but livable. Due to thaat I'm running a T-Mobile network on a Verizon S3.
hello, ive searched to find an answer so I apologize in advance if this question has been answered.
I have not rooted and installed a custom rom in a few years, reason being is I use a at&t microcell at home and at that time, the phone I had would not pickup the microcell as a primary signal. my question is, with the lg g3, if rooted and custom rom installed, will that interfere or take away from the phones ability to connect and work with my at&t microcell?
id like to get rid of this stock rom its making me sick already, thanks
I've run every rom available to us and have not had any issue connecting to the micro cell with any of them. Flash away
