i know he didnt use a donor because there was no other phone around him. and i guess issues like this is what i get for having someone else do what i should have done. well i guess my question is, if i get me a donor, is it possible to reflash using the donor even though i already have my boost acct set up with whatever esn etc. he has programed for this phone? and if so could you assist me in the procedure?
[EVO 4G General] stanglifemike:
I could be mistaken, but i believe a donor phone is absolutely necessary! That's the only way of accomplishing this. Basically, Boost thinks the donor phone is what you are using. You're righting the ESN from the donor phone to the phone you're wanting you use. Once finished, both phones are actually active on your Boost account. You just power off the phone that you aren't using at the time. This is the only way I've ever heard about using a non-Boost phone on a Boost account, an I've done a LOT of reading about how to use a non-Boost phone...

well unless he had the esn memorized he didnt use a donor, like i said there was no phone around him other than mine. im just trying to figure out how to fix the mms. everythign else im fine with. just cant send pic msgs. i can receive but not send them.
[EVO 4G General] stanglifemike:
Yea, probably just had the ESN written down and brought it along with him.

Ill help but you would have to start from s:ratch if you have all software and everything should not take more than 15/20 minutes after you move your number to the donor and make sure you have 3g data either way let me know thanks

I see alot of people finding all their nv items, but I cant seem to read/save all mine... 466 and one of the 119#'s says access denied in the file it creates :( Any tips? I can retrieve everything else from the phone and write everything else, the AAA password and the HA are all i need from the NV files and I cant get them :(

EDIT: On my galaxy ruush
[EVO 4G General] RomBus7er:
hmm

you dont reaally need to write these files as far as i can tell, as long as you can open the originals in a hex editor you can find the information needed inside them ( the ha/aaa passwords) and write them in manually using QPST later on. Although when i used the open sesame door method i just put the extracted nv files in there that way by right clicking and hitting add file from pc.

flashing my htc evo to boost mobile

Ive been at this for 3 days and could really use your help. I had text and voice working but no data so I figured that I had the wrong AAA pasword entered. I've took your advice and did ##786# reset and entered the 32 alpha/numeric password for nv 466 but now the ota activation will not

activate it says error. I dont know what I am doing wrong I have all the files needed and all the programs

Thanks in advance for your help

I've been told both ways and dont know which one is correct

and the AAA password for profile 1 is in 1192 correct

I have a samsung replenish and i am trying to use it as a donor phone. However, when i try to read the NV item, the 466 NV comes with access denied. I sent the msl code and it presented me with device has been unlocked.

Also, i tried to get the AAA keys and when i send the command Requestnvitemread ds_mip_ss_user_prof it gives me and error has been received.

Rom, rom, rom

I just aquired an HTC Evo 4g. I have a Samsung Galaxy Prevail with Boost Mobile that I would like to use as the donor.

My first question is about ROMs. I saw a site that listed ROMs that work with the Evo flashed to Boost Mobile. Is there a limited amount of ROMs that can used with this phone while being flashed? I saw that there are Kitkat ROMs for the phone for non-flashed users. Can I just put Kitkat on the phone and then flash it to Boost Mobile?

Can't write NV Items

I decided to buy a guide due to the age of the OP (the actual post, not the person) & the fact resent post said there was an easier way but I didn't have the knowledge to follow what was being said.

Anyways, I used a purchased guide and the below steps to get it play nice with my Prevail, everything went well until it was time for me to write the NV Items to the Evo, using NV-Items Reader/Writer I get an error "<file name> is not a valid nv-items backup file" (tried adding .txt extension, still no luck)

I then tried accessing it through QPST - but the folder I'd need to access (IIRC "NVM") has a red circle with a slash....

FYI - I can call from the Evo & leave a voice mail on our home phone & it shows up with the proper phone number but won't actually ring a phone. Evo is confirmed for having correct SPC, ESN & MEID.

Any ideas?

Sprint HTCEVO 4g LTE w/ Replenish donor

As my titles states, I'm trying to use a clean (successfully and most recently used on my account) samsung replenish as a donor phone to migrate my Sprint 4g EVO to Boost mobile. Trying to deal with sprints website gave me a headache, I imagine their service is comparably bad or at the very least expensive... At any rate, I believe i can reasonably follow this guide, but have a few questions.

Can I perform the required tasks for full functionality with unpaid (not pirated) versions of CDMA or other freeware?

Will these roms make my quest any easier?

Want to migrate my Flashed EVO4G to new non flashed EVO4G

I have an HTC EVO4G that's got hardware problems so bought another used one and wanted to migrate over to the replacement. Can I use my old one as the donor and just go through the normal steps? I'll use Titanium backup to transfer everything over when finished.

Brand new to the forum so not sure if I'm posting in the right place here and searched for related threads but found nothing about migrating one flashed phone to another same.

Thanks for any guidence
[EVO 4G General] woodz93:
Necro posting - posting in a thread that is old... just a heads up, some xda users will flame you for that!

Yes it is the same process - when you say your old phone, you are referring to your broken EVO4G? Your broken flashed phone is essentially your donor phone.

Props to you for still rocking an EVO 4g. I haven't had to flash a phone in a year or so. Any reason you are sticking to EVO4G?
[EVO 4G General] PDXdrummer:
Want to migrate my Flashed EVO4G to new non flashed EVO4G

Thanks a bunch for all that. I was having trouble navigating the site to post my question. Maybe I could go ahead and delete my post since I've gotten my answer. I liked this model and bought another locally because it was a good deal and thought I'd be safe with the flash to boost, unsure of other models and no clue which to choose. Funny thing though is I just tonight picked up a Sprint Galaxy S2 Epic for $50 mint condition so will be attempting to flash it instead so I think the same question applies and am thrilled to know that I can use my previous phone as the donor. Will be rooting it and am new to the roms so might ask if you have an Idea of which I should put on it? Hope I've got my lingo correct, probably really pushing it now bringing another model into the thread. Again I'll attempt to remove all this.
[EVO 4G General] woodz93:
I wouldn't bother trying to delete it, don't sweat it, just a heads up.

I remember my Epic Touch 4g. That actually was the last phone I flashed before finally giving up on Boost Mobile. Loved it, though as time passed it was apparent I had to move on, I'm now using a OnePlusOne phone on ST. Why don't you try getting a hold of a Galaxy S3 instead? (If you're using WiMax it's going to be shuttered by the end of the year). Though honestly I think getting LTE to work on flashed phones hasn't been done yet, but search the forums though, they might have figured it out. Reason I suggest the s3 is that the s3 has a custom 5.1 rom available for it. Though you can buy a Moto E straight from boost for 100 and have the latest Android, that phone really doesn't compare to the s3.

Most devs have moved on from the EVO4G/ET4G nowadays, it had its glory days. Not to mention a lot of MVNOs actually sell good phones now and phone prices continue to drop, which explains why I haven't flashed a phone in ages.

I used a sprint Samsung rant. You need to use a Boost Esn(you can find them on the net) to activate a line via the web. Then call in with your moment Esn and tell them your other phone is broke. They will activate your moment for you. Just tell them its a boost phone. Once its activated, then start with the guide in the OP.

Honestly have you heard of anyone being charged with the crime? it is pretty obvious there is nothing wrong with what we are doing as long as it isn't to damage other people in the process.

The law was intended to keep people from stealing other people's phones and adding on charges to their bill.

People are making a business out of this type of work and you are still on the illegal bandwagon..open your eyes and see the difference of what we are trying to do and what is really illegal.

Question about activating boost phone

So the first step of this guide is to activate Incognito on boost. I want to use 'Pay as you Go' plan. So I chose this plan to activate my Incognito on Boost official website. I saw there are add-ons(optional) during activation process:

1) 0.35/day unlimited wireless web.

2) block international dialing capability

My question is: do I have to select daily unlimited web add-ons at the activation process? If yes, do I have to pay 0.35*30=$11 per month even if I won't use data every day?

My intention is to use data once or two every week, 'cuz I have wifi access most of time. If I only pay when I need, my data fee would be $1 or $2 instead of $11 every month.

So is it okay for me to select '$0.35/day unlimited Wireless Web' or not during the activation process.
[EVO 4G General] LargePrime:
Add web option, activate phone, get data working, shut web option off as needed. It may take some time (~24h) to restart.

Honestly, Boost is the last of the unlimited data, prepaid You might think that alone is worth a few extra pennies for them.

~10$ a month for unlimited calls, text and web. They earned every penny.

Galaxy prevail donor for htc evo

This is not a guide just help towards getting the things you need ex:nv items, spc, your 16# password "wich is samsungs default... all this information was reasearched from xda and android forums took alittle to information that wasnt there talk to people more experienced and tested to see what info worked what didnt... hopefully this info helps someone able to evo to boost with galaxy prevail as donor.... then maybe they can make a more clear full out guide for people to use... there arnt much guides out there that works 100% or that you dont have to pay for and is password protected lol.... maybe the new version of cdma workshop can read the prevail to write all the necessary codes and numbers to program the phone....

first you want to root your prevail... google works great for this aslo check http://androidforums.com

next step you want to download a android terminal... free on android market!

now go to android terminal and type

su

getprop ril.MSL

your 6# spc then should pop up

now to get nv items go back to your android terminal

su

dd if=/dev/stl5 of=/sdcard/cdma.rfs

then plug ur phone to computer with usb, turn storage space and copy the cdma.rds file off sd to desktop and use the magic iso

to extract to destop open the cdma.rf file you extracted and go to NVM folder then open the NUM folder and copy the

465, 465_1, 466, 466_1, 1192, 1194 files there the ones that you need...

ha and aaa pass are stored in the nv items, you need to use a hex editor to veiw the nv item you want

NV 1192 - SPRINT AAA KEY UNIQUE TO EACH PHONE this is the important one

SPRINT and BOOST HA KEY is always 73 65 63 72 65 74 (hex to ascii = secret)

I am not sure which NV item has the Boost AAA Keys, but doing a profile update gets it loaded on the phone

the 16 digit password for the prevail is samsungs default pass...

01f2030f5f678ff9

aslo found once evo is flashed to boost if ur having mms problems... heres the fix

Dial ##3282#, edit and enter your EVO's spc then scroll

down and on change the MMSC URL to “mm.myboostmobile.com” .

and again thanks to all the people that took there time to explain this information...

if anyone comes up with updates to this please share!!!! also you can PM me.....

I am stuck at the step of zeroing all MEIDs (I have successfully zeroing all ESNs). It seems that not every phone has the same MEID/ESN locations as the guide shows. I found 8 out 9 all MEIDs. The last one at 0x01D636C1 was not found. So I guess the problem lies there.

I use WinHEX in the hope of find the remaining MEID locations which is read from Memory/EEprom begnining 00FA0000 with offset 999999999. However, it stopped at address 00FEEE54. So I cannot access memory bits at address like 01xxxxxx which the last MEID may reside..

Another point I observed is that, after I zeros those 8 MEIDs, after rebooting the phone, these 8 MEIDs will come back....

Please tell me how I can find the rest MEID starting with address 01xxxxxxx.
[EVO 4G General] egzthunder1:
Calm down there, sport. We cannot have guides on serial number changes on here and that is the end of it. Whether I did it myself or not is none of your business. When I did it, I had to look around various forums to find one guide that would work as xda did not have the info for obvious reasons. I asked the op to simply remove the bit about changing the serial out of his guide. Provisioning your device for data and whatnot is ok, and quite frankly, that is the hard part on this, to get 3G to work...

You should seriously consider reading my previous post again. I am not removing this guide for the reasons you are stating. This site could potentially get in legal trouble for stuff like that. That is why I am taking it down.

Now, quit it already.
