Hello, I don't intend to make this too complicated, but can I finish the flashing work before activating donor phone on boost? I have not finished my current plan yet, so probably won't really need the boost service right now. But I want to try to follow the instructions to make my evo ready for future use. If that's possible, can I use evo to activate boost, since it has the donor phone's identity, i.e. MEID..

Another question is... Assume flashing is done, what if I turn on both my donor phone and EVO, will Boost service detect any ESN conflict? Will both cell ring if there is a coming call? Thanks.. Just curious..
[EVO 4G General] eljean:
U gotta can switch the MEID and ESN but u can't put in the MDN or MSID or HA and AAA passwords until u activate the phone. And if u turn on both phones nothing bad will happen and yes both will ring and its really annoying. Maybe after a while boost will see them both and probably call U or something, I'm guessing.

can you pls clarifiy on this after i load script how do i get it to save to the phone and remove the esn /meid number??

I know some of you are saying you can do things with like ##3282# but i am rooted with cyanogenmod so i just have to use the terminal emulator. i go into super user mode and enter like

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

Just to get the phone to pop up under a com port since i cant do ##xxx# to get phone into a mode you know... so is there a command i can type in to get the over the air going or?

Please i really need help on this.. no INTERNET on a Evo is depressing as h3ll (btw i had eveything working on my other boost mobile account so the phone has worked before) THANKS

Yes what New Optimus said, he knows what he is talking about because I have learned alot from him!

Hmmm. Thats a new one to me. I have seen Error 16, 1012, and 67 but never 1016. Roms do not matter on the OG Evo when it is flashed to boost other than changing the MMS URL so they work. I have flashed just about EVERY rom there is out there for the OG in the 3 years I have had my beloved Evo. AAA and HA keys are on a different partition from the rom. They should not be affected by flashing roms unless you did something wrong. It kind of sounds like a bad flash to me. Do you have the "other" phone still? If so I wouldnt mind helping you double check all of the info
[EVO 4G General] tigron:
I still have the donor phone. I would appreciate the help checking the info. In the meantime I will work on doing the suggestions mentioned.

[EVO 4G General] tigron:
I started over a couple times and get stuck trying to get authenticated. I thought I really had it once and boost said it probably wasn't authenticating because there were towers down in my area.
[EVO 4G General] 9h0s7:
Boost always says that whenever anyone says anything about their service, the old the towers are down and/or being upgraded excuse.

So they straight up told you no Boost phones can be activated in your area?

Call up the Boost store closest to your location and ask them if they have had any problems activating phones.
[EVO 4G General] James L:
Wow you are using a really outdated method to flash phones if your still having to write the ha and triple a keys and prl.

I flash phones to boost in under 25 minutes.P.m. me i use a way easier method and i don't do anything but write the nv items and swap the meid and esn.Than i do handsfree and everything works fine.Dialer codes will not work on any non sense based roms.

I have a evo 3d rooted s off jupunut bear custom ics hboot 1.5858. current rom is smooth criminal rom.

I also have a evo 4g rooted and s off running cm10
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
If you can get the nv items from your donor phone, but not all donors can. also if your phone is going to get 3g data it has to have the donor phones network identification key, if you only want voice and text but not mms the ha and aaa wont matter.
[EVO 4G General] JUSMEJOSE:
Same here I been the exact same methos as you lol less than 30 minutes fully flashed evo ... you really dont need the donor phone nor the nv item ( evo 4g, shift 4g, 3d) everything is just copy and paste :)

How do you figure that what I posted may I ask? I have CDMA WS 3.9 so I just do the first unmentionable step then ota activate. I do not write NV items nor pro 1 info, sometimes it is necessary to write Pro 0 in order to get data working (this does the same as pushing the NV item to phone, but as New Optimus said, you can not pull NV items from all phones), other times you just connect to wifi and it will do it all itself, but I can activate it in Boost in about 10 mins regardless. Try buying the paid version of CDMA WS and it is much much easier than any other method I have found, way faster than using EFS explorer!
[EVO 4G General] JUSMEJOSE:
I just reset the evo and then put the donor phone into airplane mode and copy the msl&meid into the evo and re-boot phone and ota activation and finish usually take less then 30 minutes
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
That will give you basic talk and text, and usually well under 30, probably under 15 mins.

To get 3g write the profile 0 takes less then 5 mins and update profile couple mins web works as well and depending on the rom in use change the mmsurl to the boost one and mms works too.

Asked this over in the evo lte forum but didn't get anything. Is it possible to use a boost force or HTC one sv as donors with working lte?
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
You can not use lte unless the donor and the phone your using have lte and even then you will have to find the settings to make it work.

Same goes for wimax your donor phone needs to have it.
[EVO 4G General] strive53:
Should have been more specific. I own and use a evo 4g lte flashed to boost. The boost force n HTC one sv r boost lte phones. Was thinking bout getting one n using the boost force or one sv as my donor. I'm guessing this is all new because boost just released lte phones but got me wanting to taste some lte!! Just trying to pick the communities brain to c if it was possible. I know lte is based a gsm technology n really wouldn't know how that would work...

Problems with HTC EVO 4g to Boost

I'm a self-admitted noob at phone flashing, and I'm hoping someone can help with my problem. I have an HTC EVO 4g which I'm trying to get on boost using a Galaxy Prevail as a donor phone. As anyone who knows these things knows, the prevail will not surrender the NV items 466 and 1192 to CDMAWS. I captured the entire memory file using the terminal emulator file. I searched everywhere I could find and could not answer how to get these into the HTC. One site suggested that only the 466-1 file was necessary. I first copied that file into the HTC's memory with QPST. No go. I figured that there might be necessary data in the other 466 files, so I copied all 6 (466, 466-1, 466-2, 466-3, 466-4 and 466-5) into the HTC memory. Although I'm a noob at phones, I've been playing with computers since the dinosaurs invented them. Anyone who wrote any BASIC files knows that everything has to be the right case, the right character and in the right place. I think I've done that with all the other items, and everything I can, I verified with QPST, QXDM or CDMAWS. Today, I tried for the umpteenth time to set it up on Boost, and...nothing happened. I appeared to have voice, but no data. I'm not sure about text. Aha--I had read about ##727862# to reactivate a used boost phone. I used that, and got the SCRTN screen, which was then supposed to cause a restart. It didn't. I manually restarted the phone and got a seemingly endless PRL Update message, with occasional Error 67 messages flashing like fireworks on the screen.

Please, somebody help a noob out. Thanks just for getting this far reading.
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
There is a easy way to get the nv items from the prevail, however since you have the nv items I wont go into it.

As you know the nv items are in binary and to read them you need a hex editor. I used winhex. Open item 466 and you will find a 32 character alphanumeric number that will be the AAA for profile 0

What I have done and had it work perfectly is after the meid change (which it sounds like you have) open the dialer and dial ##786# Then hit menu and reset the phone will reboot and go back to blank factory settings, (not your personalized android, just the nv items) when it restarts it will try to activate, cancel the activation and put the phone into dm mode open QPST service programing read from phone enter the phones spc and go to the mip tab, open profile 0 at the top it will have NAI and it will likely be the original meid@sprintxxxx Change the meid to the donor phones meid and then enter in the HA the generic sprint number, which is posted multiple times in the guide. Then in the AAA put in the 32 character number from the nv item 466, no spaces. Then you can write to phone and it will restart. Now it will try activating again but check to see if its in dm mode as it may stop activation if it is. once its out of dm mode it should activate and data will work.

Sorry for the lack of capitals and punctuation in a hurry today.
[EVO 4G General] tech128:
The first post in the thread is right on the money with the list of donor phones, except that if you look, you cannot find any guides to read the nvitems from the LG Rumor Reflex.

All the other phones I was able to find guides very easily. So I figured it out myself (as usual).

To start with, you'll need to get the SPC for the LG Rumor Reflex. The easiest way to do that is to simply add it to your account. It will tell you the SPC. There are other ways to get the SPC, but they looked much more complex.

Once you have the SPC, you need to open the diagnostic port on the LG. This is done by dialing ##PORT#

Enter the SPC and then you can enable the DM Port. Now you will need to install diag drivers for the LG. You can get the driver here:

http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/c...leDriver_S4981MAN38AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.8.1.exe

Now you will need to get the DLL file and a copy of LG Download. The dll file you can find on google (for the moment anyway):

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=LG260BPT+dll

Second page, the one that says gem-flash

Now you need a copy of LG Download. Since the download is questionable, I won't link it here. But I can set you on your way:

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=LG_Download_program_v1.6

I used the 1.6.0 version.

Once you've installed LG Download, do not open it or connect your phone yet. We need to prepare it.

Open the directory c:\LG Electronics\LGDownload

Create a folder called Model. In the Model folder, create another folder called LG260BPT

Put the DLL file in the LG260BPT directory.

Now you can open LG Download. Give it a few secs or so to load. I find that the program itself is very temperamental / shoddy. Crashed on me lots while I was trying to make it work.

After it is loaded, click on the DLL button at the top with a check on it. It is called check for select dll file.

Now click on the box to the left of it. It is called select DLL file.

You should have a window open called Model List Dialog. Click on tri-band, then double click on the LG260. Click ok.

Now you can connect your phone to the computer.

If it does not detect your phone, you may need to go into config and select the port your diag port is on.

Once it detects the phone, click on nv edit on the left. Click NV edit start. It will ask for your SPC. Enter it.

After it reads all the items, it will print some kind of an error.

Now open task manager and kill all the lg processes. Should be only 2. LGdownload and RunOdDll

After you have killed the processes, then you can open the port up in DFS / CDMA Workshop / QPST and read your nvitems!

** Update **

I used 1.3.9.0, but 1.6.0 is much better. It works under win8 32bit at least, which 1.3.9.0 did not. It only worked in xp.

Which phone? If it's the htc evo you will have to do a few things.....first of all in settings enable usb debugging and then go to the dial pad and enter ##3424# and then I am hoping you have all the htc evo drivers already installed on your pc......then it should let you know on which COM your phone is connected......

[EVO 4G General] 92cb7accord:
Ok. First I obtained the meid and spc from my donor phone which is a Samsung Galax Rush.

I could not get the nv items from the donor phone but as I have been reading I dont actually need them now-a-days

I saved the Nam1 and Nam2 from my donor and flashed them to my Evo with CDMA Workshop 2.7

I then flashed my SPC from my donor phone to my Evo which it took and have tested and works

My Evo shows my boost phone number my "username"@myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com

I cannot get it to take my MEID for the life of me. I have not done an ota activation either on the evo.

The Evo is Rooted which I know doesn't matter.

I could not get the AAA and HA Shared passwords if those even matter anymore as well from my donor.

I can turn on my Evo and get error 67 but I get no data/voice/mms of any kind. I try to make a phone call and I get an error about not being able to call that number or something.

My donor phone is on Airplane mode or even off at any time.

I think i'm going to just buy CDMA workshop 3.9 then could someone help me out easier? I realize 2.7 is way outdated and there is a much easier way with 3.9
[EVO 4G General] gellybelly:
hmm sounds all backwards to me, SPC is needed first to unlock phone, you did this AFTER you wrote NAM1 and NAM2, supposed to be done BEFORE. lol

Maybe thats the reason you couldnt get the NV files, next time try entering the SPC code first then unlock the phone, once thats done then go to memory tab and read NV items, then go read the NAM files, then do the rest. remember when you hook up the evo, you have to do the SPC unlock again, then write everything. send me a PM if still need help.
[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
Ok first, using cdma workshop 3.9 would help, you can get more information from it and it will easily change the meid/esn but remember this Without the profile 0 AAA 32 alphanumeric characters you will not have any data or mms.

So on your donor phone you better do some reading and see if you can pull the nv item 466 through efs explorer( part of QPST) or get that AAA key some other way.

Hello, I'm trying to flash my Sprint HTC evo 4G to boost network. i do have a donor phone from boost network which is the "Marquee". I have unlocked my bootloader, and rooted my phone. I flashed to MikG. I keep google guides, and i have read a lot of forums, guides, ways to do it.

What I want to do is keep my same number from my old service(it is still active) and put it on my new service(boost mobile). Could I get a list of software needed to do this? Where can I get the necessary drivers? And kinda give me a run down of what i need to do to complete this transition. My phone data is: HTC EVO 4G, Sprint Carrier
