I have heard different things from people about flashing roms and losing boost flash. I however have flashed every single rom there is many timesover through odin and cwm, and the only thing i ever had to do with the new rom is restore my boost APN.

I have a epic 4g on boost with everything working fine. I want to transfer this phone onto my wife's account, I have the donor incognito also. What would be the easiest way to do this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] weinerwad3000:
You can probably turn the epic off and turn on the donor and call them and put a different phone on your line. Then call again to get the donor activated on your wifes account and turn the donor off and turn on the epic. You may need the AAA password from the donor. If you try this let us know if the AAA password changes. I want to know if it changes depending on the account, the phone, or if it just changes everytime regardless. It would be a little helpful.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BrianFX:
I searched the thread but couldn't find an answer on this.

Is the Epic compatible with Boost's $2 Daily Unlimited plan?

Secondly, is the Epic compatible with Boost's 20¢/minute Pay as you Go plan? (if the Epic is cloned as a non-Android phone compatible with this plan, i.e. the Incognito)

I'm only looking to use my Epic sparingly as a travel device. The $2 daily unlimited would be a great solution. However, since the $2 plan has to be deactivated or switched in order to not be billed every day, it would be great if I could swap to the 20¢/min paygo plan when not using the $2 plan (rather than deactivating entirely).
[Epic 4G Android Development] weinerwad3000:
As long as the donor phone works on those plans I don't see why not.
[Epic 4G Android Development] LargePrime:
The EPIC is not compatible with Boost at all.

IF you use a donor and change the settings of an EPIC so that the network sees the EPIC as the DONOR, the the network only "sees" the donor, not the Epic. Then, what ever the donor could do, the EPIC can do. (except re-provision a new account, of course)

I point this out to help your understanding of what is happening.

Epic touch 4g

Im still trying to get some help to put my epic 4g touch on boost with my incognito that i used to hook up my epic 4g.. My main question and concern is about the NV items.. Is all of that the same for all phones, or all android samsung, or... Any help WOULD BE GREAT. Thanks. PM me if you would like, I would greatly appreciate it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] weinerwad3000:
What do you mean? Do you mean the nv item numbers?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BrianFX:
Thanks, that was my logical understanding too, I just wanted to confirm it here.

Upon further investigation, it appears flashing to Cricket Wireless is a better solution for me. Their $2/day unlimited plan is only billed on days you actually use network services, no need to call in every time to turn the plan on and off (which presumably I'd have to do with Boost's $2 daily plan).

I'm surprised there isn't more interest in flashing an Epic on Cricket vs Boost. For those not needing tons of minutes (or using GV), their $25 plan is priced with the same features as the old Virgin $25 (now $35) plan.

Will be interesting to see if the Epic can also be flashed on Republic Wireless' just announced $19/month unlimited everything plan (which uses the Sprint network).
[Epic 4G Android Development] T-980:
I'm looking to do this to my Epic. I read through these instructions a few times and I'm alright at flashing roms and stuff on my phone so my question is...is it as hard as it seems?
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
If you have a working incognito that gets 3g, and a working epic and you get working copies of all the software, cdma workshop, qxdm and the other one then it is really easy.

1st find the youtube video and follow the instructions in the pdf that it links to so that you get the epic connected

then follow these instructions to get the 3g working.

The hardest part, if I remember from months ago, was finding the software that cleared my anti-virus checks. I think I found a torrent that worked in the end.

I remember getting the spl for both incognitos I did this with was more time consuming than the instructions led me to expect. I never ended up uploading the whole file to my computer to do the search, but when I got more than half of it, I searched that and did find the six digits.
[Epic 4G Android Development] T-980:
Once I get paid I am going to try and buy an Incognito off of Craigslist in my area for like....I think $20. I know this process can be time consuming but what scares me the most is screwing up my epic. I just want to save money.

Thank you for this though. I'm trying to read up on everything as much as I can so I won't mess anything up when the time comes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] weinerwad3000:
Why wouldn't you just turn off your AntiVirus? Most of the programs used have been cracked so we can get it for free and shows up as a virus even though its not.

Can anyone tell me how to get back to sprint stock? is it possible? Everytime we have a storm in my area, the phone goes on roaming and we cant make calls, if you try it says "Welcome to Verizon Wireless" lol. Anyway, I want to put this back to stock to sell, please help. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
I don't want to go back, but I'm curious about this also.

If I had to, I'd follow (in reverse) the youtube instructions and make sure the MEID matches the sticker in the back of the phone.

Then there is a code that can go into the dialer that will restore factory settings. I'd look that up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leviuqse:
To everyone..please this thread is not for MEID discussion or modifications, this thread was already deleted once because of it (actually, the mod misread the guide)

as for it to have the epic back to sprint, IF you didnt back up the original aaa and ak keys from the stock epic, you will not get the data to work anymore..those keys are GONE for ever

i already talked about this somewhere in this thread, verizon usually does a DMU reset to give you new keys to your device, or something like that..not sure if sprint does the same thing but im sure they are capable of doing that...

I would just recommend, after getting back to stock except the aaa & ah keys and original profiles, to take it to a sprint store so they can see your data is not working and fix it
[Epic 4G Android Development] Moritzio:
Which User ID should be used in this Active Profile?

[edit]Nevermind. I checked another phone and saw which was active.[/edit]
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
You know far far better than I do, but I thought the aaa and ha codes were set and could be reset by over the air activation. Earlier this year my profile name changed and an OTA for the Incognito set new passwords and got 3g back. Then I transferred the pwds to the epic and it works now.

If OTA doesn't set the user profiles with the passwords, what does it do?
[Epic 4G Android Development] T-980:
I have a question about all this.

I'm going to be picking up an Incognito next week for the soul purpose of flashing my epic. I was also offered a Blackberry Flip but turned it down because I wanted to keep my phone rooted for tethering (homework at work) and to flash every now and then. Will changing the rom every now and then and playing with my phone mess with anything?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ma$etas:
flashing a rom wont mess anything up besides the mms but thats easy to correct just follow step 18 (if i remember correct) on the op.

and when you say messing with your phone it depends on what you mean by that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] T-980:
Sorry, I should have been more specific.

I just like to change Roms every now and then (messing around being maybe flashing a rom but nandroiding back to my previous one).

Right now I just installed 2.3 and hoping to stick with it, but after the flashing process is complete I wasn't sure if it was unstable when it came to flashing roms, modems, etc.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BrianFX:
Wasn't sure what you were referring to at first, but now I follow, 50c/day unlim data on the pay as you go plan, not too shabby.

Looks like I'll be porting to Boost after all. Cricket only mentioned a daily plan only in their FAQ (nowhere else), phone CS said to check the store, store was clueless. I guess they got rid of it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] LargePrime:
It sets the user profiles and passwords. But sprints system requires the phone to identify itself with its ESN and AAA password before it will be authenticated on the network first. That takes place before OTA.

Think of it like this, your phone has 2 ESNs, The ESN, and the AAA. The ESN is the PUBLIC Identifier, and the AAA is the secret key identifier.
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
Oh. So if you had the original AAA password, what steps would you take to go back to Sprint?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SocialReject:

Thinking of making the switch from Sprint. Would love to cut my bill from $50 down to $15.

Sanyo Icognito is usually $60 - $100 ... possible to post instructions from a phone that's cheaper? Would also love to pick up a Galaxy S II / Epic Touch with a bad ESN.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Syst3m Deadlock:
I got my used incognito for $35 with free shipping from eBay. I've seen a decent amount of them for that price on eBay. Some that were in less then perfect condition were even cheaper.

Anyway 2 questions.. i'm running bonsai on my epic on cricket..

anyone ever find a solution as to why USB disappears? is it bonsai?

i've tried different cables, pcs, os's. grr.. really sucks i can't connect to

it any more.

question 2, is there a way to modify my H.A. manually?
[Epic 4G Android Development] LargePrime:
Put the NV items back and put the "thing we cant talk about" back. Factory reset.

[Epic 4G Android Development] caileb:
Unless you use Google Voice + GrooveIP. Speaking of VOIP, how is the voice quality over 3G?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrkevo3000:
I've noticed from my experience that it depends on the device, calls over 3g by way of voip on my galaxy tab 7 OG were lousy, but when I use an actual phone like the evo or sg II epic touch they are great, I think the samsung note will be a real game changer looks like a hybrid, half phone and half tablet, but all in all I think calls over 3g voip has improved alot, if that was what you were referring too!

Quick question; I woke up this morning to the Gingerbread update prompt, and haven't installed it yet. I haven't because I wondered if it'd mess with my Boost Mobile flash settings if I updated?

I know I'll obviously lose root, etc. I'm just worried about my Boost settings.
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
I'm waiting until the GB roms are much more stable and there are a variety of roms that all have had CIQ removed, GPS fixed, tethering fixed, video chat fixed and are stable with new releases coming out that don't fix anything, just make cosmetic changes.

I figure that will be in a month or so. Because I'm happy with my phone now, I'm not in a rush or prepared to take much risk to get to gingerbread.

In a month or so, I also won't be one of the first Boost customers to go to GB.

As far as I understand, you'll be able to restore the APN the same way as under ec05 froyo and the phone will be fully functional after that.

I also believe that if you're rooted, have CWM and are able to make a nandroid backup, then worst case you can always go back.

But I expect that you'll get voice immediately and if you were to lose 3g, you could turn your incognito back on and redo this process in this guide.

It shouldn't be a problem, but I personally am waiting.
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
It seems from a tutorial that you can put an epic on cricket without going through a donor phone.

Im using an HTC Diamond, HA is "secret" and I can get the AAA for both 0 and 1 profiles...and the NAI is MEID(hex)@hcm.sprintpcs.com

I have an EVO working fine, it even provisions fine all I do is program the MEID@hcm.sprintpcs.com and the AAA and whalaa.., 3G 1.5mb/sec speeds...

EDIT: On the EPIC it was on EvDO Rev-A until I tried to use the internet, it then switched to 1xRTT...! Meh... Anybody wants to trade EVO for this CRAPIC?

EDIT 2: I figured out what the problem is.... Instructions need to be fixed, on step #15, under PPP Config, instead of CHECK EVDO->1X it has to be UNCHECK and that takes care of 1xRTT speed, it has that so it provisions I am assuming... After it provisions it switches it off..? Can somebody confirm this?

I wonder if the "verizon dmu reset" method works, change your phone to a non-smartphone with a voice only plan, and then the next day change it to the epic but this time with a data plan included this will provides your phone with the correct ha and aaa in verizon.

if you got all 0s it might be possible to extract it, phones that dont allow to extract the aaa or ha will give you something like "not permitted or nor allowed"

Use code ca3p-1207 and get 3% off if you buy over 20$. I get the 50$ refill (best deal) and let it ride until it is about to expire in 90 days and then add 20$ to stretch it another 90. Also you has voice money for backup, if you have an emergency call and VOIP is sucking.

I got a problem.

I got all the information from my Incognito to the point where I'm supposed to turn it off and never use it again (unless my Epic is off). I dialed the super secret service number or whatever it is (with the pound signs), put both options on 'Modem', plugged my phone in and CDMA workshop won't read it. It always says the COM port isn't there.

Here's what I did: I went to my mom's house to use her PC since she has XP still on there. I went through all the steps, got the info from my Incognito, and decided to switch over to my laptop for the Epic portion so I could go home and finish. Is that my problem or could it be something else?
