Activating Sprint Smartphones on Boost's network

Has anybody purchased a Sprint Galaxy S4 and successfully activated it on boost's network,, I know it may not be allowed, but I see a few articles online about calling CS and trying being polite, and you might get lucky after a few try's.
 
i have not seen a guide specifically for the s4 as of yet. but here is a guide that you can use as a base:http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/460035-evo-4g-boost-mobile-guide-evo-3d.html. it is for the htc evo 4g but the idea and how to use cdma workshop is there.

please make sure to read the disclaimer at the top of the thread.

that is about all i know.

edit: here is the disclaimer:
Mod Note: By following these instructions, you are confirming that:

1) You legally own the device being flashed and the donor device.
2) Both devices have clean MEIDs (meaning the service provider has not cancelled service to the phone for any other reason than customer request).
3) You will transfer the sticker from one device to the other to ensure that the phone has the correct MEID. A heat gun or hair dryer will make this easy.
4) You will not sell your donor phone.

Doing anything other than the four criteria above is illegal and any discussion about it will be removed.

unless you want to buy a 4g donor, is it even worth it? or you will only have 3G in the end. if you want that route.

I wonder if one bought the S4 outright from sprint, without activating it on sprint, if Boost would consider activating it. But that would cost plenty for an S4, phone service doesn't mean that much to "me" to go a route like that. But to each their own. Good luck!!
