I was hoping someone could help me out.
I have the XV6700 for Verizon, but I want to have it work on Metro PCS.
I have tried looking on the site but I haven't been able to.
I sometimes over look things so I was hoping someone could help me find what I am looking for.
Thanks!
I have a need for help:
I have a EVO 3D (not a year old, not insurance) that die, can't star, I mean! dead, I don't have insurance, I am a year into the contract, quit working, got really hot yesterday, and this morning won't start (3/5/12). some one let me a Samsung S from Verizon, I call Sprint (they just to) if they could flush it from Verizon to Sprint, but they said no!
Any suggestions are very welcome, I don't have a phone at the moment, and I can't buy one, has any one have a way to use this Verizon phone (Samsung S) to make it work on Sprint?
Thanks
PS. if this is in the wrong place SORRY!
Let me also stress this thought, I am not very familiar with some of the terms you are going to replay, and I haven't done any thing of this nature, so if you suggest something, keep that in mind. I am eager but limited in knowledge.
you can only flash phones from sprint and verizon to boost, metro pcs and cricket...those are the only ones I heard of. You cant flash sprint to verizon and vice versa.
It is possible but wont be easy. Search around a bit. There are some threads on how to flash phones to boost and virgin mobile which will have a somewhat similar process for sprint.
flush phone
Expand on you replay please?
Remember I have a Samsung S (Verizon) that I like to convert or flush to sprint.
thanks

Like i said browse xda and other sites regarding flashing cdma phones. You will need tools like dfs cdma, qpst, and others to change the phones meid, mdn, aaa and ha keys and adresses, etc. Its not as simple as flashing a rom. You need to pull all the old value off the evo to flash to the samsung.
Also stop saying flush, its flash.
Alright, here I go. So there is this new company coming out that is offering $49/month unlimited everything without a contract. Now, they have a list of phones that are compatible with their service via a SIM card you buy from them. They are running on a GSM network and they say that Verizon and Sprint phones will not work because the are CDMA. Now, would it be possible for a rooted Verizon or Sprint phone to work? I'm thinking it would be because you can change what type of network you're on with a rooted phone with quite a few different apps. It's also possible for people to buy a Verizon phone, root it and run it on T-Mobile or ATT.
I'd like to believe doing this is possible but obviously you experts on this forum know way more than I do so I thought I would ask here.
Thanks
No, not possible. CDMA uses different technology. Even if you have an unlocked Verizon Iphone, it will only work overseas, not in the United States.

Damn, that sucks. I was really hoping it was possible to do. This company also has a great compensation plan for bringing in new customers and I was really hoping to use this to my advantage.
Thanks for the reply lowandbehold
you are able to buy a rooted T-Mobile compatible phone on Ebay from reputable sellers. what network are you trying to hook up to? it seems like a very good price.

The company is called Solavei, which runs on the T-Mobile network. Yes, it's a very good price. It's also a great opportunity to make money.
If you want to take a look at what they have to offer I created a site with information bestcellcompany.com
The reason I was asking the original question was because if it was actually possible to use a rooted Verizon or Sprint phone on the Solavei network, it would be pretty huge and I could use that info to my advantage.
Thanks for the replies guys :laugh:

I was looking for a nice way to get the info to the guys here about, "solavei.com/marathon2422" as i am an avid user of omega roms on my S3 gt19300, and used lots of roms on my gt 19100, i was hoping maybe to "payback" some of my use of roms and info and help from here.
This is of course only good for those in the USA.
I have heard mention of people flashing modems to switch their CDMA carrier but haven't seen a specific how to in the Verizon Galaxy SIII thread, is this possible with the verizon s3 to sprint? If so how? I am fairly familiar to rooting and flashing custom roms.
Maybe thishttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787677 has something to do with it?
Same idea as this?http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235104&highlight=sprint

People here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41196913#post41196913 seem to have found a way but still not tutorial...
Its illegal. The reason you wont find a guide on here is because it is illegal, because the only way to do it is to use spoofing, which is ILLEGAL. Good day.
Illegal or not (and it is), you wouldn't get LTE 4G. Verizon is on different frequencies and use a SIM. Sprint, as I've read, is the only S3 without a SIM in the US.
Your best bet is try to find someone (Craig list?) that might want to swap. If not, sell yours and buy a Sprint model on eBay.

thanks for the info everybody! I found a business that'll do it for me. although it would be cool to learn how... just for educational purposes
Besides the software programming are all HTC M8s the same? I've unlocked mine and soff wanted to flash a GSM ROM to convert it, would it be a true GSM phone? I'm just asking cause I believe the phone has a programmable radio and isn't locked into only CDMA but could be wrong. Thank you.

I have wondered the same, but I imagine the verizon m8 and the sprint m8 are the same hardware wise, and I think if you removed the cdma components then they may be the same as the at&t & tmobile versions. I seriously think like you it is the software that makes the carrier version, but the cdma part for verizon and sprint could be added hardware.
Overall I think the verizon and sprint versions could be completely carrier changed to at&t or tmobile.
There are guides on xda that tell how to unlock the other bands of gsm some report success and many report no success. Most of the posts are for people wanting to convert the verizon m8 to tmobile. A good amount report success but they say they have to toggle airplane mode quite a bit to force Lte connection.
I have seen a lot say when installing a rom such as viperone they chose to install it as the tmobile version and they report this helps.
Many keep asking can they flash the tmobile firmware to their verizon m8 and no one seems to know probably because their is a good possibility they will brick their verizon m8, so no one seems to be willing to chance it with good reason.
I think this subject is actually losing interest with devs because of the m9 due out in weeks, so honestly I would not expect to see anything done on this for the m8 unless its working on the m9 that they crack how to do it and find out it applies to the m8 in the process.
I really wanted to do this myself because I wanted to convert to a dev edition and get updates direct from htc and get to ditch all verizon software completely which would have been awesome

Well I have phone insurance and extended warranty so I don't care if I brick mine, I have been working on converting it to a GPE regardless. I'll let you know the outcome. Im looking forward to the M9 as well. I am still planning on keeping my droid turbo.

There are differences - in the the partition layout in the NANDs, so it's kind of risky to try it out. Every ROM, RUU, OTA, Firmware, Radio etc. you install have instructions for writing in particular partitions. And they are a lot, i've seen devices with 78 partitions. So that is the big stop i believe. As far as i know there's no other differences, i mean it's easier for HTC to differentiate the phones by making 3,4 or 5 versions with partition layout needed for carrier specs, than producing 5 or more SOCs. Hardware manufacturing is a costly process. So long story short 99,95% chance of brick.
i know that the board with the charging port on it is different for the Verizon version. i broke mine and it seems like all the part suppliers only have the gsm/sprint version. they all have the part labled with the H/K model number.
So what happened?

If your asking if i was able to get it repaired yet? The answer is no. I've still been unable to get a source for the part. everyone only has the one with only one antenna connection on it. Now the question i have is what dose that 2nd antenna do.
