CyanogenMod 9(or 10) +boost mobile

I got a question: Is CyanogenMod 9(or 10) compatible with boost mobile, would i have ability to call and use 3g?
[EVO 4G General] picklerick:
boost site says its 3g capable
[EVO 4G General] youngchris29:
Yes
[EVO 4G General] eljean:
Next week I will try to gain 4g by using a Evo 4G Design from boost as a donor. I will post my results!
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
I must have been thinking of another phone, maybe the rant.

sorry,

---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 PM ----------

That will be interesting, I believe you would have to clone the mac address of the donor.
[EVO 4G General] kalehua4791:
Will be watching for this one......have a few customers that like the evo 4g but hate the POS DESIGN.....
[EVO 4G General] cbucz24:
Wow that's a lot of money to use as a donor phone!

As in sprint though, its using the same towers. Make sure you have 4g coverage before trying that. I don't have 4g except for 30 miles away...

To see the real coverage, I've pulled it off the sprint website as boost and virgin doesn't show squat.

I'll take AOKP anything ;)
[EVO 4G General] eljean:
Who said anything about keeping it? I'm buying it and I will test it out if boost 4g is truly significantly better than boost 3g I might not return it. Or rebuy it another time

Stuck on Round 5

I want to ask, Im already have rooted htc evo 4g with CM9 on it. Do I need to download AUTOROOT W/2.15.00.11.19? Is it possible to change my current baseband to the one i need somehow else? my baseband ver is 2.15.00.05.02? And will i still able to flash the phone on CM9?
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
Yes you can, the deal with changing basebands was to get known memory locations for the esn and meid change, Now however it is known that the evo 3d method works and is so so much easier and quicker. there is no need to downgrade the baseband.
[EVO 4G General] vpetrov177:
and also a can not complete this step:

b/c i doesnt have a sprint account on my htc evo 4g, what i need to do?
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
I am unsure exactly what your asking,

The ##3424# is on the phone, if your using a stock or sense rom that access the phones internal diagnostic mode so the phone shows up on the computer as a com port, which is needed to use any of the pc programs that access the phone, such as cdma workshop, QPST, and QXDM.

Also your evo does not need, nor should it be attached to a sprint account.
[EVO 4G General] vpetrov177:
well, im using custom rom, how to make it visible as com port
[EVO 4G General] vpetrov177:
Still Sprint

so i did as you said i followed evo 3d guide(without dealing with basebands), but at the end my htc is still got Sprint provider, but now i able to use 3g internet, but cant call, whats wrong?
[EVO 4G General] Klown80:
does it say something about not authenticated or something like that if you try to place a call?
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
He did not have the esn changed yet he got it now the sprint thing was just the banner not a problem
[EVO 4G General] xisleet:
will this work for the HTV evo 4g lte?
[EVO 4G General] drozee78:
i have been reading through the pages of posts and i see this can be done with a droid x. i searched whether any donor phone can be used and according to the thread that's a yes it can. what i am not clear on is whether the donor phone has to support 3G in order for 3G to work on my droid x? i can purchase a motorola theory that i can use as a donor phone. they are on sale today at boost for only $29.00. before i bite the bullet i wanted to make sure this phone would work as a donor. thanks in advance for any help

OP thanks so much for all the work you put into this thread. it has the most complete details i have found anywhere on the web. you are :angel:
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
Theoretically it will work for any phone, but remember you will not have lte on boost network.

No The donor has to be 3g capable to get 3g speed on your phone, doesnt matter what your phone is evo or droid x if the donor is not 3g it will present to the network as none 3g.
[EVO 4G General] drozee78:
thanks for the answer going to have to look for another cheap phone i guess. :(

any recommendations? no one has the rant or icognito around here
[EVO 4G General] vpetrov177:
ebay

there always some on ebay

i bought 3 incognito on ebay auction for 30-40 $ each

just make sure they got clean esn( message to seller)
[EVO 4G General] xisleet:
ok now one more question, i understand the doner phone has to be 3g if i want 3g speeds but does it have to be the same os? like could i take a 3g samsung factor and use that to flash the evo 4g lte to boost? does the doner phone have to be a rant or incognito or can i use any boost phone, also does the boost phone have to not require a sim card, because i know alot of boost phones have sim cards.
[EVO 4G General] yknujssab:
Slow speeds

OK I have a question. My 3g speeds seem to be all over the place. Daytime seems to be the worst. Kind of sucks because the daytime is when I need 3g, in the evening I'm home and I have wifi so don't really need it there. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
any boost phone that uses a sim card is not a cdma phone and will not work, You can use any cdma phone HOWEVER you need to be able to get the info from the phone and some company's have it locked and 1 the phone is not popular enough for people to have figured out how to unlock and extract info from or 2 the phone just doesnt have the specs to make it worthwhile.

The guide lists the 2 main phones people have used, though one of them will only get 1x the incognito is the easiest and has 3g thus its the most popular.

here is a post with several known donor phones

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

Speeds are dependent on the traffic the cell network sees, obviously during the day there are more people using the network.
[EVO 4G General] yknujssab:
I know, it's just so sloooooow. :crying:
[EVO 4G General] gmzombie:
Had anyone used the prevail as the donor.? Only reason I ask is I'm having radio disconnects with the current incognito and can get a prevail cheap. I figured maybe it might make out better by having info from and android vs a flip. I have tried everything and it is on 2 phones. One is rooted with s off and the other is gingerbread stock.
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
yes the prevail is able to be used as donor, the process is similar just a few differences.

how ever when you say radio disconnects I am unsure what you mean, the incognito once you pull the info is never turned on so it would never matter if it worked again or not.

if the evo is disconnecting then your donor will not matter it would be trouble with the evo.
[EVO 4G General] gmzombie:
I would say its the EVO to but I have 2 of them doing the same thing. Unless there is ist a problem with the EVO 3d
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
no people have used the evo 3d just fine before, could you be specific on what its doing?
[EVO 4G General] gmzombie:
What do u mean specific. I've had these flashed for a few months. I have the meanrom 2.6 with hboot 1.57.5757 with the anthrax kernel 3.0.5 bit this also has a problem with the stock unrooted flashed and it does The same thing. I used the efs flash method.
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
when you say radio disconnects what happens, what happens right before, and after? Also what are you doing at that time? You talking on the evo and it just hangs up? or something different.

specific details may help figure out why.
[EVO 4G General] Klown80:
Are both Evo's flashed with the same incog info and turned on at the same time? Or did you mean you tested the Incog info on both phones separately and each still had the same problem?
[EVO 4G General] eljean:
I have included a small list of suitable Donor Phones that will give 3G in the first post.

These phones are

-Sanyo Incognito

-Samsung Rant

-Samsung Prevail

-Samsung Replenish

-LG Rumor Reflex

-HTC Evo 4G Design (Even 4G if you fix Mac Address...)
[EVO 4G General] kolosus:
Hi eljean. You probably dont know me but I've come a long way since I first read this thread by you. Thanks. I'll try to visit this thread more often and help out when I can... Awesome place this.

You'll also notice that I was there when the list of possible/working donors were given by gotanmp3... and that I got banned from hofo for spamming. Never really found out what happened there.
[EVO 4G General] donutkidd:
Ok this may be a dumb question but correct me if im wrong... it is required to root the first and then after being flash I am still rooted right? There isn't a way to be flashed to boost still using there services and not have root right?
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
You can flash to boost with out being rooted however you may need the new cdma ws to complete it if your not rooted
[EVO 4G General] donutkidd:
Ok so if I flash then root will I lose flash? That was my man concern..and thanks
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
No the flash process affects the nv part of the phone, which is not affected by the rom part of the phone.

If the flash is done correctly you can change roms, or kernels with no loss of boost service.

Re-Flash

I have a EVO shift flashed to boost, using an incognito which was done by someone else. My Evo Shift just broke and i want to reflash over to a EVO 4G. Can I reflash like this using this guide. Is there anything i need to know? TIA
[EVO 4G General] woodz93:
Is the instructions revised and shows how to enable 4G if you have a Design as a donor? I'm waiting for a broke one on ebay to use as a donor for my boosted Shift... I know, what am I thinking I but I wouldn't trade a bigger display / front facing camera for a hardware keyboard.. i'm old school like that :cool: Not to mention evervolv's work on JellyBean for Shift is coming along nicely...

EDIT: I downloaded and read the manual and didn't see any 4g instructions. I read here on XDA a lot of people doing it various ways so if there's a definitive guide i'm all for it :)
[EVO 4G General] Klown80:
Do you have the Incognito?
[EVO 4G General] lgood:
Yes I have the Incognito.
[EVO 4G General] kolosus:
If you have the original donor phone then there is not fancy trick involved. Retire the phone that you do not want any more. If it is broken all the better. Pull the info off the incognito. Reprogram some other phone. If you get stuck somewhere let us know.

We are many, we are legion. We will help you.

PS: On a side note. Anyone have any clue as to how Sprint calculates the aaa key for profile 0? That is my holy grail right now. Hiya Klown80!

MMS issues and 1x

Hey guys, I'm back with some questions.

First question is about my MMS. I can send most of the time. I receive them, most of the time I can't open them. I have done the ##data# to make sure it say mm.myboostmobile.com. I have tried the advanced settings on gosms, apn config, and nothing still.

Second question is why I'm getting 1x at times. 3g works pretty good, but every once in a while 1x pops up.

The one thing that confuses me is that I have a total of 4 EVO's on Boost, but mine is the only one with these issues. When mine is showing 1x, the other 3 are on 3g. They get their mms just fine. I have checked the settings and all seem to be the same. Help
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
You can try profile update in system updates
[EVO 4G General] yknujssab:
I have updated the profile before and nothing. :(
[EVO 4G General] gellybelly:
what about updating the donor profile? then reflash.

I am having that issue with mine sometimes also, doesnt always happen but it does, and usually just ignore it or pull the battery. One day last week I just couldnt get away with that 1X lol
[EVO 4G General] Aftrburnr:
What kind of speeds are you getting from boost?

Hi all,

I'm considering flashing one of my EVO 4G to Boost and was just kinda curious, anyone doing any speed tests with their EVO's flashed to Boost? What would be some average speeds you're getting? I was at a Sprint store in Phoenix not long ago and installed speedtest.net app on a display EVO 4G LTE. Ran a few tests and it was only averaging 300kbps on the downloads. I know there are variables involved. I did read earlier on this thread where some were saying they were getting slow speeds & I thought that was pretty slow also so just wanted to compare and see if this is about what speeds I can expect?

I'm on CricKet at the moment with a flashed EVO 4G. I'm usually averaging anywhere between 400kbps-2 megabits late at night.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
It really does depend on where your at, signal strength and quality, my personal experience, in Jacksonville Fl is varied at home (where there is a ton of pine trees that block signal) its anything from 122kbs to 600kbs but 1/4 mile down the street and over most of jax its 800kbs to 2200kbs
[EVO 4G General] gellybelly:
yep I just ran a couple tests, in Carson Ca (south of Los Angeles) 11:05 pm got 122k down and 800k up, second test at 11:07 was 122k down 400k up, third test right now at 11:09p was 528k down 506k up, 4th test at 11:11p 139k down 201k up lol
[EVO 4G General] yknujssab:
Fixed mms

Well I, actually my son, figured out the mms problem. For me it was custom launchers. Not sure why a launcher affects mms. I reinstalled MikG 3.11 and kept the "stock" launcher. Now I can send and get MMS. Thought I would share this, maybe some one know why the launcher messes it up.

qxdm port not reading evo for right and cant downgrade baseband

my evo has baseband of 2.15.00.12.19 and can not downgrade. also diag port will not show n device manager or n qxdm's target port but will in gps
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
is it stock rom? if so did you dial ##3424#?

The dialer menu will not work on AOSP roms, including decks and cm7 roms though there is a work around for that if that is the problem.

using adb you can open adb shell, on the computer with the phone plugged in, the debug option has to be checked in the phone.

type (or copy and paste)

echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/usb_composite/diag/enable

this will allow the computer to see the phone as a com port.

then

echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/usb_composite/diag/enable

to turn off.

---------- Post added at 07:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 AM ----------

Though I have to ask why do you want to downgrade?

You do not need to to fix the esn, use the evo 3D method it works and is much easier and quicker.

1) Does boost work with youmail?

2) does the over the air activation method work with boost? By simply working on profile 0 aaa key and not touching profile 1?
[EVO 4G General] gadgetdaddy:
1. NO youmail will not work with boost.

2. Yes
[EVO 4G General] trim81:
Thanks for the reply.

It's a shame that youmail don't work.. Sucks actually.

1) what is everyone using for voicemail notification on boost then?... Specifically for sprint epic touch

2) does boost require a specific prl? Or any sprint prl will work?

3) I've done many meid repair on sprint, but boost is new to me.

For sprint, I never turn on the donor for activation. Only copy aaa key from donor and insert it into new phone. I take the over the air activation on repaired phone.

Will this process work the same for boost? Or is it an absolute must to turn on donor (incognito in my case) and take the ota first?

-- thanks in advance for help-I plan to port (migrate) from sprint to boost in about 2-3 weeks when contract is up, so arming myself with knowledge first
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
normal voicemail notification works fine here.

any sprint prl works, I use the newest business prl on mine seems to get better connections and speeds.

That process should work however some phones do not seem to accept ota activation I dont know why. I have 2 evo's one a hardware 3 version and one (the one I use) a hardware 4 version. my v3 will ota activate no problem but not my v4.
[EVO 4G General] trim81:
Normal voicemail, on a gingerbread rom or ics?

... And which phone are you using?
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
I am using decks gingerbread rom. the phone is the evo 4g.

Whatever you do dont pull the screws out and pull the back off lol, the charge port will fall out. Only way to repair is to re-solder the charge port, there's a guy on ebay that will do it for half a c note, I've done a few myself to my own parts.

[EVO 4G General] Klown80:
Since you have profile 0 info you just need to program it into Evo, (leave profile 1 alone) and update profile. IT should write the profile 1 for you (you might need a wifi connection for it to work) It has been a while since I did it that way but it IS possible to get the network to write pro 1 for you. Kolosus taught me this a while back but I havent needed to do it in a while..
[EVO 4G General] jewfish:
I would hold off on flashing your phones to Boost. SPG will be announcing soon that they will be letting Sprint phones activate on a Boost account. If you are a pro flasher, sell your donors! QUICK, before they are useless haha.
[EVO 4G General] trim81:
Any source to this?
[EVO 4G General] AlpineMan:
This is correct. You can either do "Update Profile" or zero out your MDN and MSID and run the Sprint Zone app and click on "Activate Device" to force the update profile. You do this via Wifi.

Large contract companies do not just let you use your phone on prepaid services. this statement is wrong on so many levels. IF THIS WAS TRULY THE CASE, WHY DO A CONTRACT AT ALL?

they will never just let you use any random sprint phone on boost or virgin.

Hi, I'll be trying this tonight for the first time and I am a bit confused on what method to use.The Evo 3D or 4G

I have the Evo 4G so should I fallow the guide posted on post 1 and just substitute this round 6 for the original round 6 ?

Also my Evo is already unlocked so would I skip this round?

UNLOCKED

SUPERSONIC EVT3 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT2.18.0001

MICROP-041f

RADIO-2.15.00.12.19

I read almost every post in this topic and I think I'm just getting mixed up with peoples problems and what actually need to complete this.

Thanks to anyone in advance that can help me out with this and other question I might have.
[EVO 4G General] Klown80:
Use the round 6 above your post.

Does not matter if you are unlocked or rooted for that matter, neither has to do with flashing to boost. Those are for customizing your phone, everything from installing custom roms to installing apps that require root privileges. If you want root search for the "how to root hboot 2.18" thread, it is also possible to get s-off if you downgrade too, first step to root would be to unlock bootloader which you have already.

If you need any help or advice or get stuck shoot me a PM, it isnt that hard really once you know what all you need to do! :)
