[EVO 4G General] RoadRAGEN:
IMO this is a poor written guide, as it doesn't tell you in much details on how to find your ESN and MEID with QXDM it just says to scan the addresses, it doesn't explain what row what colum to look in for it or anything or if only part of the ESN/MEID is going to be in the address. This guide can be very hard to understand for some and more information on how to actually zero out the ESN and MEID would be very helpful.
[EVO 4G General] weinerwad3000:
Actually i posted several esn locations. if these don't work the go to cdma workshop and go to the security tab unlock the phone. then under esn drop down to universal ram method and scan. those are your esn locations. you may have to toggle airplane mode.
[EVO 4G General] weinerwad3000:
just click on the esn when you find it change to 0s and click write.

Quick question over here. I traded in my Evo 4G to get an upgrade, but my wife (who is currently considering boost) really wants an Evo4G. How sketchy would it be to pick up a phone from Craigslist that is on Boost?

u can use any rom on an evo on boost. the only thing is that u have to reflash it to boost once u flash the rom....after that u can flash any rom without having to flash everything all over again, it worked for me.
[EVO 4G General] SheWolf88pr:
the problem with that is that u need a boost mobile phone that is already activated (preferably the incognito) and then flash system files and use the esn from that phone to flash it on the evo. u just cant buy a boost mobile ready phone, it has to be flashed by someone.
[EVO 4G General] seankk:
i can agree i pay 45 for unlimited for everything, but my thing is when im in a spot where 4G works and is found the phone connects regesters signal strength and assigns a IP BUT no networ connectivity as if there was no data im curious what needsto be chaged in the WiMax settings in te ## menu anyone have any ideas or solutions, but im loving my boost evo its awsome, everythign else works fine 3g is blazing fast and no issues with the phone, i found a combo zip (flashable) here in one of the threads thats does a radio, wimax, pri, nv everything update but not sure if that would make things woorse. please if anyone has ANY feedback on 4g working on a boost 4g shoot me a pm or just post for the community, im in NY if it matters, g'night
[EVO 4G General] seankk:
also need a 3g CDMA boost phone to utilize the MSID from i used a incognito and it worked fine. but again it would be 3 parts, first find the evo, then have or find a rant or incognito there are only 3 phones on boost i think that u can do this process with(i used the incognito with NO ISSUES at all) then 3rd and last find someone who can do the flashing and msid swapping n such. its soooo worth it i love mine, good luck with your conquest heh also u can use a phone with a bad esn or good doesnt matter (the evo i mean)
[EVO 4G General] seankk:
damn should have did a multi quote at this rate to answer your question No there arent specific Boost roms used for the the evo, after the MSID swap and the phones workgin u find any rom/kernel that catches ur eye, i used evo deck which was a nice rom but using synergy as of now, i think ppl are getting confussed due to ppl saying flash to boost, so deff not no specific rom needed to use a evo on boost

hope this helped

Hi Yalls.

Im a newbie here, and i recently change my boost account to the 50 unlimited and bought the Prevail, my self i dont like the prevail its too small but only got it because i like android OS, looks like boost discontinued the i1 but oh well.

here is my thing, the prevail runs with android which i like but i do not like the phone, i like the evo but its a sprint phone.

Here is the kicker i just dont get, the prevail box saids this.

Nationwide Sprint Network

CDMA series

If the EVO is a sprint phone and also a CDMA phone none the less, why is it that one cant not just switch devices if both of them are controlled by sprint and both of them are CDMA series phones.

I just dont get it, how is sprint and boost going to contradict them self's by telling people you cant switch from a CDMA to another CDMA and both being from a Sprint Network.
[EVO 4G General] weinerwad3000:
The reason is because they have contracts with eachother to only allow certain phones on their network. If evos were just allowed on boosts network no one would bother with sprint. Sprint feels they can charge you more because they have better phones.

Please help!

i have an Evo 4g with 2.3.3 new

i did your steps and found that i have a totally different set of ein/meid address, all good i found all of them well close... cdma keeps crashing rangecheck error after going so far i can successfully see all 0's on my meid list but looks like im still missing an ESN address.

Last two issues are when i reboot phone everything i zeroed out is back again

i tryed the post under yours fiddling with the mips and ppps still no luck

lastly when i do the send request to see all 0's for the meid i then attempt to write the new meid and i get a read only syntax.

to sum it up can you please try to answer these three questions...

1. how do i find the last few esn addresses with cdma crashing

2. how do i get the 0's to stay after rebooting the phone

3. how do i get past the read only error in qxdm when writing the new meid

THANK YOU, i was trying to figure this out on my own but it looks like you are the guy to bother!

Amen!
[EVO 4G General] weinerwad3000:
Before you can change the Meid you have to zero it out and the esn. What I do is scan the addresses in cdma workshop then scan again in airplane mode then in qxdm zero them out then again in airplane mode then again with airplane mode off then once more in airplane mode for good measure then reset the phone.

If your phone resets when scanning either your doing it wrong or you need to downgrade your baseband

Hey guys...

I scanned using Cdma Workshop

Got my addresses

Opened Qxdm

Zero'd out all the ESN's/MEID (only found one MEID?)

Reset the phone.. and seen it didn't work. So I thought I would run back through and double check I zero'd everything out.

What I found was.. Qxdm didn't write and/or my EVO didn't take the changes. And now The "Write" button is "greyed" out so I can't try again...

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Trouble flashing to Boost/restore my meid

I'm having a similar problem to a previous post. Mine had the meid zero'd out when I got the phone. Trying to restore it to what it says on the sticker beneath the battery. I'm familiar with both cdma workshop and qxdm so I know I'm using the correct procedures. Can't seem to get that dam esn to stay zero'd , or to write the meid once I've got it at zero. Once I've got esn 0x00000000 in qxdm, I try to requestnvitemwrite meid 0x00A100000.... and I keep getting the same response all 15 or 20 times I've tried: "Error response received from target". And if I reboot the phone, the esn comes right back. I've tried the airplane mode thing, done a million scans in cdma workshop so I know I've got all the locations, I always send the spc first, tried downgrading baseband, I just don't know what else to try. I know I've got to be close, so I can't just give up now. Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G General] weinerwad3000:
After you're zeroed out restart the phone before trying to add the new meid. After restart ##786# to make sure its 0ed out. Are both the meid and esn written to 0. If you restart the phone and the esn comes back then you missed an address. Its not easy to get every address every time. Refer to this guide if you can't find your addresses. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1394155

If you simply can't write a new meid using the above command use the capital letter as opposed to all lowercase for example: RequestNVItemWrite meid 0xA10000000000000

Leave out any 0s that may come in front of the meid.

I'm having troubles here switching my evo to virgin mobile.

That's all the addresses I could come up with, I'm not finding any results searching those though. Idk if theyre supposed to be in 0x00 format or whatever, but I can't figure this out for the life of me. Hopefully someone can swing thru and help before I go out and spend $100 on a program to change the esn for me.

[EVO 4G General] New Optimus:
what base band are you on? drop to the 2.15.00.09.01 as it seems easier there is a list of most of the locations and you wont have to toggle airplane mode to find any.

or if your phone hardware is before version 4 drop to the 2.05.00.06.10 and using qmat you can have it all done for you by a script.

But make sure you got the right radio (2.15.00.11.19) or you wont have access to those memory alocations.

email me if you guys need help downgrading to the right radio. spinsat74@gmail.com

P.S.

Every EVO is different though so if you have issues finding all ESN/MEID, try this:

Open up cdma Workshop, connect and send spc.

ESN tab

click read and click the drop down bar and select “Universal Ram Method” then click Write and Scan for addresses.

Input “00FA-00FF on the 1st scan on the second scan search 0108-01D7.

Memory tab

Memory/Eeprom, start address put 00FA:0000 size 99999999, leave work with eeprom unchecked then click on the read button below it. (This will read all memory between 00fa and 00ff.It will stop when it hits the unreadable area but that's ok. Save the file like scan1.bin.

Then open up Win Hex to find all your Meid and ESN locations (in reverse of course) in your hex editor each address will have a offset where it found it you need to use a hex calculator and add your starting address to that number to get location of you Meid or ESN

example"""

say you found an Meid at offset 2B710 in your hex editor on your 1st scan which started at 00FA you add 00FA0000 + 2B710 which gives you FCB710 which is actually 00FC:B710 you just add the 00's in front. (You can load up windows calculator in scientific/HEX mode and add the offset and location together to give you the area to search for in Memory in Qxdm. do that for all ESN and MEID locations you find in each bin file.

If you are currently unable to place calls and you have heard the Error 16 message, please attempt to place another call and follow the prompts to contact a Customer Service Representative, who will be able to assist you."

I did this and it worked...DO NOT TELL THEM YOU'RE USING THE EVO IF THEY ASK YOU WHAT PHONE YOU HAVE, MAKE SURE YOU TELL THEM YOU'RE USING THE DONOR PHONE (Incognito, Rant, etc)...they will also ask you questions about your boost account like the password or date you signed up with boost just to authenticate account...

After modifying my phone to work with Boost mobile, I am unable to get wireless tethering to connect to the internet. I am able to get internet 3G access by using the browser on my phone, but when I use wireless tethering my computer is unable to get internet access. Anyone have any idea what setting might be interfering with this? I have already tried multiple ROMs and all have the same problems. I have also tried multiple wireless tethering apps, none of them will give me internet access (although I can connect to the wifi access point just fine and I am assigned a local IP address via DHCP (192.168.x.x).

Yes it does show up on my computer but I am unable to actually access the internet. I tried on many ROMs both Sense and AOSP and it doesn't work. I think it's something to do with something in the phone's configuration.

This is what I see on my laptop and I am unable to browse anything on a browser and ping fails:

On my phone...using the WifiTether app I think, I was able to see the data speeds, and it showed that there was a bunch of upload occurring (35kb++), but there was no download occurring (stuck at 1.5kb). Not sure what to make of that.

So i tried to just activate my ESN on boost and it said it was already on the network... which is kind of what i expected since they are on the same network.
