Converting EVO 3D (Sprint) to Virgin Mobile? - HTC EVO 3D

I recently obtained an EVO 3D from Sprint and successfully flashed it to Virgin Mobile. I got SMS and Calling working, but Data keeps cutting off every minute or so. I know its not permitted to talk about ESN changing or cloning, but I would like to know if anyone has gotten their EVO 3D working in Virgin Mobile with data constantly working?

You would think by now when people end their topic with a "?" that it should probably going in the "Q&A"

Moved....By the way if your going to use a ? in your thread title then i would hope you would think that it belongs in the Q&A section

I figured it would get moved, but since most people that answer questions about flashing and mods usually post them in the development section, I figured I would give it a try and post it there. My bad

I'm sorry I'm asking this, but what ROM are you using? Maybe that's whats messing up my 3G

I used the stock ICS Rom for a while but now I'm using Cool ICS.

Thank you, with your suggestion my 3G started working correctly! Also, I don't know if you have actually found a solution to the MMS, but my MMS is working with this ROM Patch, its in another forum, but I'll still post the link just in case. androidforums.com/evo-v-4g-all-things-root/600667-patch-sos-m-vmshooter-mms-patch.html

Thanks. Did this patch work with the stock ROM or cool ics ROM?

Actually it worked with the SOS M rom only, but if you want to I could ask the OP to tell me how he managed to fix the mms in the rom.

Yes please. That's would be awesome. Thanks

nice to see another person using an Evo and going with Virgin
i have an Evo 4g and just figured out how to get it connected to CDMA workshop. Was able to get my spc.
The problem with this whole thing is my donor phone had its usb data connection disabled by Virgin prior to shipping, like they do with all their cheap phones. i have the mdn, msid, meid...and as far as esn goes i still dont understand if esn is the same as meid. I dont even see anything in cdma workshop that says mdn or msid or meid

I might be on board too. Damn divorce has got me cutting a lot of corners. What is your actual total monthly payment?

Is there a Post on Flashing to Ntelos or Frawng wireless?

Flashing Prl is easy...but I need nv items
3G is not working only talk and text
Can anyone point me in the right direction

I never even heard of these carriers. If I was you, get a phone that works on them, get CDMA master...read the setting in the software once you get it set up and reading the phone. From the other phones setting...put into evo 3d...this will take care of your question
I was thinking about that. Ntelos runs on sprint's. Network ..wonder if ha and AAA password is needed...

[Request] PRL 25004 Download

Can anyone give me a link to the 25004 prl, also how are you speed on it?
Can't help you with the .prl file, but how you going to install it?
The new evo doesn't support ##prl# like the old one did.
There are already ways to install PRLs via CDMA Workshop.

3g While on Call

First of all if this is in the wrong section I'm sorry.
Today I was tethering through tether app in flex's rom my phone and I got an incoming phone call. I wanswered but noticed the data was still working on my computer and I did numerous trials all confirmed working. So here's the question...is this a feature we just didn't know about that can indeed be unlocked by our talented devs here. Try it you'll see

That's called svdo and this phone supports it. Even stock.
Very sorry buddy but this is old news.
It's SVDO. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653145

The LG Viper has this as well, as will other new Sprint Android phones.
Lol wow I had no idea. Looked like a fool but love my phone even more now!!! Guess mods can close this.

Flashing to Virgin Mobile - Mostly working - Need help!

Hey guys, having a bit of trouble that I'm hoping someone can help out with!
I've managed to flash my 3D over to VM somewhat successfully - I have data working properly, text messaging working, and MMS working, however I have NO calling. Original error is "Your account could not be validated" until I send a text message, then it switches to "Error 16". If I try to call someone again immediately after error 16, I get the original validation error.
I already have the MDN and MSID set to what they should be, which is the most common issue I've seen gone wrong.
If anyone else has any insight, I would very much appreciate it!

Thanks for the link, it looks like it might be the issue, but will it work with it being flashed to VM do you know? The phone was my old phone before I got the LTE, so it's also been deactivated from my account before switching to VM...

Call them and they will fix the error 16 via virgin mobile
can u post the method u used to get it on virgin mobile? a meager search on google resulted in people posting how it was impossible to get on virgin with a sprint phone.
Good luck man!

dealing with the same issue here. Have some threads on my flash here but cant seem to get past this error 16.
will call virgin in morning and bs them and tell them i need a refresh on my kyocera jax....really an htc evo 4g
Error 16 is caused by 2 devices using the same ESN, both active for a moment. I have found that if you do an ESN swap to another phone and the back to your flashed ESN, you'll be fine. BUT NEVER EVER HAVE BOTH POWERED ON AT THE SAME TIME (unless you blank the ESN on the donor phone, of course!)

Is it possible to unlock Sprint EVO 3D 4G for Virgin Mobile

As Title. I have Sprint Evo 3D 4G, I want to use it for Virgin Mobile. Is it possible of doing so? Will that affect my Virgin Mobile cheap plan? Thanks in advance.

CDMA phones can't be "unlocked" like GSM phones can. CDMA phones are identified by the MEID number, and Sprint has a database of these numbers and what brand they are associated with. So they will see you are trying to activate a Sprint-branded phone and Virgin and reject it. Changing they MEID is possible but is illegal in some jurisdictions (Missouri comes to mind), so I won't go any further.
Or you could call up Sprint and ask very nicely if they'll activate it for you anyway. But don't be surprised if they say no.

Should I finish the esn swap first then flash rom? or the other way round?
I see many of the custom CDMA roms are based on Sprint. Does they also work on Virgin Mobile?
What is the stable daily using ROM you are commending?

I'm on MetroPCS and all the Sprint ROMs work for me, they should all work for you too (provided you're flashing CDMA ROMs)

They work perfectly fine on virgin mobile. If you want to get MMS working your gonna have to flash an HTC EVO V ROM. Not sure i can like to another forum but theres a EVO V forum at android forums. Make sure to back up before you flash. The first time i flashed a ROM the ESN changed back. Just the ESN so it was a quick fix.
