Donor as in another active 4g boost/sprint phone, then yes...... but does not have to be your phone.

I used my brothers ET2 on sprint again it does not have to be a boost phone, I got his permission to use his 4g mac who lives in another state cause you dont want to run the chance of having both phones running 4g on the same tower.

I used another ET2 cause since both are the same phone there would little to no issues if anything came up, but I am pretty sure any active boost or sprint phones that run 4g would work cause all you need is a active 4g mac.

I have heard people doing it that way, and getting results.

If J7 gets online sometime today he would verify how to correct the issue.

Ok, i've switched the esn a few times.. now i have voice and txt but no data.. unable to update profile, unable to update prl..

lol.. im at a loss.. I dont know what to try next..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jm1080:
With the new Boost ROM that sextape released, will flashing to boost with the epic 4g from sprint make the voicemail work, update profile, update prl, etc. Will all that work since it is on Boost ROM? I had my epic 4g touch flashed to boost, but since I had to warranty it they reset the flash back to sprint. I put the latest Boost ROM on it and the phone is basically boost version now, has all the boost bloatware, boost firmware, etc. I want to flash it, but want everything working like if it was directly from boost (I know the 4g will not work because donor is incognito). Has anyone tried this? If so what were the results? I assume much better 3g and signal, please post!

I just flashed a galaxy s2 to boost using a ~2 year old samsung rant as a donor but it was more difficult than expected so I'm saying what worked for me. With exception of using cdmaDevTerm to pull the rant's spc what I did was pretty much follow the steps in j7jman's guide on google docs. I could call and recieve texts but data and sending texts would not work for me at all. The settings in the M.IP tab of QPST for the donor phone were very different from what was in the guide. Using either set of settings wouldn't work and updating the data profile would always fail with an unknown error. I flashed the phone with the stock boost galaxy S2 rom but that didn't do anything for me at that time.

After some frustration I stumbled upon this back on page 7 of this thread:

I was able to easily pull NV_Item 25 from my rant using cdma workshop and write it into my galaxy S2. After performing a factory reset using ##786# the galaxy S2 performed activation and I had the common network error 16 that I had to talk to someone about. It works now and data is a little slow at ~100kbps down but I'm not going to complain much about that.

I thank you guys for writting this thread and especially peryp9 for bringing up NV_ITEM 25 which I hadn't seen mentioned elsewhere.

EDIT: Data was only being slow that night and my fastest is ~1100 kbps but my average is around 400 kbps.

flash Galaxy S2 to Boost (Using Mac Computer)

Where can I get the download to perform this on a MACBOOK PRO?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gadgetdaddy:
I've never had to have nor ever used NV 25, and haven't had problems to activate, update profile and update prl.

Your only 100kbps, because your at 1x, not 3G. You may have been able to do the Activation, but your profile was not updated, therefor you don't have 3G.

They say it can be done but they also say the best phone to use is sanyo. They both have issues if u ask me but so far they are right with Sanyo you have to unplug a few times for it to read.

If I purchase the S3 as an upgrade on my legacy plan online will it come not activated? It sounds like that is the case ... I just want to verify that it will not ruin my legacy plan when I turn it on.

Or do I need to call to have the ESN removed from my account first? I was thinking it didn't matter since I do not want to sell it, I just don't want it to "try to activate" but thought you have to call or activate specifically online. Any comments are appreciated.

Please Help!!

Hi i want to start by saying that i really dont like to bother with help posts i rather read as mushes i can and find the answer my self but i got to a point that im really frustrated anyway heres my problem,:

i have gone through out the step by step guide and after all i get 3g working but no voice service, every-time i try to make a phone call i get a recording saying error 16 .... but the weir thing is that i can browse the internet with the phone using 3g service, i dont know if is because i skipped activation or what,

please any ideas would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Read the thread, this has been answered many many times. Call sprint and ask for the error 16 department.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MuDDuQ:
Stay on the line after the message and an operator will come on and say I see you are having trouble making a call and ask if there it another number they can call you on to fix the error say no they will ask you a few questions tell thim that your phone is a incognito or whatever your doner is they will tell you to turn off your phone for 30 seconds then turn it back on and it will be fixed

You can get this error from time to time if you turn on your doner again after it is fixed so just leave the ooner off after its done and you should be fine

What about flashing Sprint Galaxy S2 (d710) 2 work with the old Sprint (Legacy) Plans

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could assist with flashing the Galaxy s2 (d710) from sprint to make it work with the old sprint legacy plans. (by installing on it the ESN of a Samsung Rant, LG Rumor Touch or Sanyo incognito).

it should be a very similar if not the same process but for some reason i cant get it right.

for starters, my windows 7 PC won't install all the proper drivers needed for this procedure. i have tried downloading the Samsung Galaxy s2 driver package and USB drivers from multiple sites but for some reason it wouldn't properly install and my CDMA (3.9) won't detect it in the ports.

PLEASE HELP!:crying:

Thanks a lot!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pitbullmommy45245:
Do you have to have a donor phone. I dont know anyone with boost lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Lol I don't think you understand how this works. You don't borrow someone's phone and give it back to them. You need to buy a phone clone the phone over to your epic touch and then put the donor phone away and never ever turn it on!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 123ablack:
What happens of you turn on the donor phone by mistake?

Reason I'm asking is coz I successfully installed the ESN of my Samsung rant to the epic 4g touch (d710) and I got voice and text on the d710 but no data at all:(

I didn't do this for a boost phone though. I have the old sprint plans where smartphone like the epic 4g touch (d710) are not allowed. So I changed the ESN of the d710 with and replaced it and imported all the settings from a sprint Samsung rant (which is 3G btw) and loaded them to the d710.

I did everything through the paid version of CDMA WS. Everything seems to be transferred over to the d710 but still no data..

Here is the error I get:

Error 67: Registration Failure. your data service username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again

What am I doing wrong here?

PLEASE HELP!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
You will get error 16 and voice calls won't go through. If you don't get data its a problem with your data settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] naucrx:
Urg, what am I doing wrong...

So, got me a "donor phone" ... Kyocera Hydro, and a sprint E4GT that I want to clone. I tried running the steps from the video but when I load Device Manager in Win7x64 I see no "ports" and in CDMA v2.7.0 the Kyocera phone will not connect on any of the 25 COM ports that show up. Do I need to do this on Windows XP 32 bit or something older?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Sounds like dialing ##3424# will put that phone in diagnostic mode, but you will need the spc/msl first.

Will custom rom wipe away the flash?!

After much trolling around the forum and using guides I finally decided join for I'm sure I'm going need little more support.

Well I managed to successfully flash my phone over to Boost everything is working perfectly. I searched and searched and this as close as I got to my answer. Just wanted feedback on people that installed a Custom ROM AFTER flashing their phone over to Boost.

Will the new Custom ROM wipe away this flash?!

I did backup using ClockworkMod Recovery after the flash to Boost; if anything goes wrong will my backed up stock rom have the Boost flash?!

I'm rooted on the Stock FI127 and I'm getting horrible battery life and I was wanting try a Custom ROM see which will at all help me. I'm a noob but I wanted go ahead and start experimenting with Custom Roms see what works best for me. Any input will be much appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
A custom ROM will not touch your radio settings. They only thing it will change is the APN (used for MMS) which an easy fix.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] naucrx:
Ok, I kind of have a problem with the Kyocera phone though, the screen is messed up from when my girlfriend dropped it and I can't do anything with it because it's blank. It plugs in and will connect to a computer though, just can't do anything that requires the screen.

I have another donor phone I could try it with (LG Venice), but I guess my question is mainly does the process outlined at the beginning of this thread still work, are people using it successfully? I have not been able to get anywhere with the process. I've rooted and flashed custom roms on phones before, so I'm somewhat familiar with what I need to do, but this time it's just not going smoothly from the guide and the instructions. Can anyone offer some assistance or point me in the right direction?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] naucrx:
Well, I'm stuck and not sure what to do, CMDA workshop won't connect on any COM port, and Device Manager won't show any COM ports for either of my donor phones or my Epic4GT so I don't know which one it should even connect to.

Running Win7x64. I've installed device drivers on my PC for all 3 phones I'm trying to work with.

What am I doing wrong here?

Do I need an older version of Windows, or is there somewhere else I can find the COM port info and/or get CDMA to connect to the phones?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
So I read through this thread and have one question... What happens when you turn on the donor phone after the process is complete? I am assuming that something triggers a scan and boost will basically permaban the E4GT from the network. Could someone enlighten me on this?

no port in QXDM

I've been able to get this close but no cigar. Already know how to flash, I normally flash evo 4g to boost, thinking this is similar I thought I would jump in and try it out.

I got the donor (incognito) and pulled the four NV items, and I was able to open QPST and copy the requested info. After resetting the Epic, I opened CDMA and got the MSL. But when I opened QXDM I wasnt able to get to the phone using Options-Communications-Target Port, it didnt give me any port to open. I reched device manager and it was still hooked up fine port 67, but still wouldnt connect. So I have no where else to go from there. Tried reinstalling drivers, rebooting, unplugging, etc, still no go.

Now I do have CDMA 3.9 so I am wondering if I can complete the process without using QXDM, just not sure where or what to follow, have an idea but not for sure.

Has anyone tried it without using QXDM or QPST? If not what else can I try if QXDM wont see the open port?

thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
You need qxdm to correctly flash the ESN.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unknown Zone:
you can do every thing via CDMA 3.9 (pull NV from donor/load NV files also write MEID, get MSL) there is no need for QXDM anymore or any other software. I do it all the time.

Example:

My friends GF got a ET4 from ebay and wanted to be on boost (new account). She bought incognito NV files and MEID off of ebay $30. I loaded the NV files and wrote the MEID then I reset ##786# the phone to start fresh before calling boost. Then I called boost to ported the number from sprint and close her sprint account. Boost had me dial ##MSL# and programed the phone numbers. Rebooted and updated PRL/Profile and all was well.....that was it....or course you need to change the MMSC to http://mm.myboostmobile.com for mms to work. All of this was done via CDMA 3.9 no other software.

if you pulled donor NV via CDMA 2.7 you need to load using 2.7
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gellybelly:
yeah, like I mentioned I use CDMA to do Evo flashes, so figured this cou;d be similar, and by reading it does, but it took me back to the 2.7 days lol, I quickly bought 2.8 full lol

hmm seems simple enough, I am doing this for a friend who has a BM account currently with an Evo I flashed.

great thanks, I'll try it out later today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unknown Zone:
CDMA 3.9 is awesome that is all the software a person needs now days.....if you run into issues after you load the NV and MEID....just reset ##786# the phone and tell boost you had data issues and you reset the (donor) and lost alll your setting and need to reactivate...they will go to the process and reprogram/reactivate ...etc...update PRL/Profile and that should do it.

Good Luck :cool:

Probs with MBAM?

Hey guys and gals,

I've been reading and watching vids for a few days now and am ready to flash my phone. I downloaded CDMA ware from the mediafire link in the beginning of this thread. MBAM says it's a Trojan and won't let it run. I CAN disable it, but would prefer not to. Anyone else having a problem with this, or know of a way around it? I would also take the word of a venerable member of this site too :laugh:

Dunno if you guys have heard of cricket but I flashed my Epic Touch to cricket and pay $45 a month for unlimited everything. I had service all over new england, in Colorado, and even in Alaska. Paying almost half the price of Sprint and no real difference in my opinion.

It was a breeze flashing this phone to cricket too. I just followed the guide on cricketusers forums. However I don't have mms working but there are people that have figured it out.

You may want to Odin it back to eg30 as that was the first OS on out I believe , and im on my epic touch on boost and I refladh roms and do full data wipe odon restores and the only thing I ever have to fix is my apn settings with apn backup and restore , as for 3g speeds mine are usually horrible but once in a while I end up i. An area where I get good 3g speeds it might just be the fact that I live in a overcrowded valley but thats also why I need a 35 dollar a month phone bill haha

A-KEY and SSD_A & B might be required for a full transfer

I'm not sure if Sprint is keeping track of all these invalid account errors (error 16) or if they'll actively monitor your account afterwards. Whatever you do, don't blame me or this website for the info. It's here only for educational purposes.

Far now I transferred 3 Epic Touch phones to prepaid plans, and 2 of them got the initial "error 16 ... your account could not be validated" so I had to stay on the line and Sprint rep asked a few questions, then they restored the accounts to normal...

For the 3rd one, I managed to get the A-KEY and SSD_A & B from the donor (LG phone) and it worked without having the validation problem. I didn't figure out how to retrieve the A-key from a Sanyo Incognito, but there's an easy way to do it for all LG smart phones. I won't give you details, but I can tell you that your favorite search engine has all the info you need (no software purchase necessary, it's mostly done with the demo version of DFS, after you unlock the LG phone with a specific DLL file). Note that I've seen there's an option to calculate the A-KEY for any phone, but I didn't put the time to figure out how to use it.

For the third transfer, I used an LG Optimus V as donor so now there's an Epic 4g Touch running on Virgin Mobile USA for $35/month (calls, web & text messages work properly, but MMS is broken b/c I don't have all the correct settings and apk's).

Right up until I get to the "Write to Phone" in the M.IP Tab.. it goes smooth.. When I hit Write to Phone.. I get an error saying the phone's ESN has changed... I hit Okay,, the phone reboots..

I get an error 67: Saying my Sprint Registration or password fails.. something along those lines.

Any advice?

Okay.. I got everything working (Thanks a million Ken).. except MMS. When it says, enter ##3282# blah blah.. I get there, enter my SPC, click edit, advanced.. then where it tells me to scroll down to where it says "mms.sprintpcs.com" it's not there.. there's not a single place where it says that.

Is it something in QXDM, QPST, or somewhere else I'm missing data? There are a lot of areas "home NID", HOME SID, MCC, MNC, ACCOLC... Each one just has a few numbers.. there's not place to edit the mms.sprintpcs.com to the boost one.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mschmidt33:
Anyone?

I started over with this tutorial (guess I had the wrong one) and the "sprint" and "boost" ha and aaa numbers have a lot of zeros... very frustrated, just want my phone to work.

It won't activate.

I stayed on the line and a sprint rep cam on about the error 16 and she asked for my sprint password and answer to a security question. I first gave her my phone number and name then she could not help me anymore without the password.

Very upset right now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peryp9:
This is a simple one. First of all, you will have 2 sets of HA and AAA passwords. Use the SPRINT account as Profile 0 and the Boost account as Profile 1. Also, you need to IGNORE the zero's at the end of each profile !!! YOU NEED TO ENTER THE HA AND AAA PASSWORDS AS HEX, NOT AS STRING.

Your "error 16" problem can be solved with your account's password, the one that you use for logging into the BoostMobile.com ... It may also be the same password you're using for accessing your voice messages.

I cannot help you beyond the steps I posted above...

It could technically be any phone. But if the flip phone doesn't have a 3g radio then you probably won't get 3g speeds.
