Root Evo 4G to Boost Mobile Guide/Evo 3D

Keep on trying and make sure you have the correct drivers installed. CDMA workshop can read the Prevail. You can get the NAM 1 and NAM2 files from it. You can also read the memory.

Yes, of course. The Samsung Galaxy Prevail is an Android 3G phone by Boost Mobile. And mine is already rooted and I know the SPC and the password, etc.. The only problem I am having (and other reports online say the same thing) is that CDMA Workshop does not want to read the NAM 1 and NAM 2 entries of the phone, even after the phone has been unlocked by the SPC. I'm just wondering if there is any other way to go about getting the information off the phone....

I am flashing a HTC Evo shift to Boost mobile using a Samsung Rant and have some serious problems.

I managed to use the "open sesame" folder to change the ESN and it has been sending and recieving calls/texts.

However, the data is not working and I tried EVERYTHING. I have the correct HA and AAA passwords for both profiles and tried setting them to no avail.

I noticed here you said you don't have to mess with NV items. Does that mean I can keep the factory sprint 465, 466, 1192 and 1194? How did you go about this?

Also, not sure if I am reading this right but, did you change the SPC on the 4G phone to that of the donor phone?
 
I am now getting close to the end. and here says:
RequestNVItemWrite Meid 0x00A0000000000
how many digit should I put here.
in your attached pdf file, it says 0x0A000000000000.
these two are different, which one should I follow?
and I check the back side of my donor phone incognito, the MEID HEX shows
A000001290F728 14. what is the right format for me to type into command.

I tried type in
RequestNVItemWrite Meid 0XA000001290F72814. but it always error. does it must have 16 digits start at "Axxxxxxxxxxxxxxx".

would you mind to help me on this matter. many thanks for your great help.


Round 10 (EVO 3D)

Now you can write your MEID/ESN of you Incognito to your Evo 3D, In QXDM type the following commands. (Replace the X’S with your meid

Password 01F2030F5F678FF9
RequestNVItemRead Meid (this will display the current Meid)
RequestNVItemWrite Meid 0x00A0000000000 <-Meid/HEX ID from your donor Incognito/rant
RequestNVItemRead Meid (This should now display your new Meid)
RequestNVItemRead ESN (This should now display your correct Esn)
You are now done close QXDM.
 
following,
now has serious problem. I write into the meid and esn, but with the wrong number. Now I cannot see the file 0 and 1943 anymore by EFS explorer, and cannot zero the MEID and ESN.
what shall I do.
thanks,
 
hey been lurking for a while but I have a question/problem.

CDMA Workshop can find and connect to my phone but QPST and QXDM do not recognize it on port10(QXDM finds it but under GPS Target) I have tried to update the driver and roll it back, I have made it up to the point to search for my MEID and both programs worked no problem. I came back last night to finish it up and it was no longer finding the phone. Any help would be awesome, thanks!
 
Hi I need help please. My friend bought a htc evo 4g sprint to flash to boostmobile and he was using CDMA workshop used a incognito got the spc and everything changed then he hooked the evo up got the spc and went to rewrite the nv items did so then the phone reboot for some reason and now the phone is in boot loop. Tried to reset with sprint stock and it goes through the whole thing then reboots and its still in bootloop. The computer recognizes the phone in fastboot but won't reset it. When hooked up to computer and put in hboot the computer pops up a android 1.0 tag in the bottom right side of computer but won't do anything. Theres no recovery just goes to bootloop again. I need to know of there's a way to reset back to stock. It's rooted with clockworkmod and s-on. Any info would really help. Thanks in advance.

When you change the meid you will also need the use the HA and AAA keys of the new donor so yes you will need to go through all the steps.

And for the new cdma ws you will only find the new one Here
 
Anyone able to connect to the Incognito via CDMA Workshop but not able to read it? I noticed the front keypad slowly flashes and was wondering if this has something to do with it. I could use any help as my pc that has xp on it is super glitchy and is actually working at the moment, I have been trying to do this for a week!

It takes time...I kept going in circles trying to get them, only to reboot and there was still a few there...I used this to finally get them to all zeros

How to scan MEID locations in CDMA workshop 2.7 - xda-developers

Its a long process, but I can see this is the most foul-proof method. This is as opposed to trying everyone else's memory locations in attempts at finding them.

This finds "your" locations, all of them!
 
hey guys! i'm doing my first flash!

well i tried it already!
only gave me 8 codes for the esn and only 2 found my esn (reversed)
but still cannot zero out my esn!!
is there any other method of doing this!!
i have os 2.2 radio 2.15.00.09.01 wich i downgraded from 2.15.00.11.19 hw3 prl 60678
pri 1.90.003 kernel 2.6.32.17
 
I am curious, when it says zero out all ESN and MEID numbers does this mean only as a whole string of numbers or does it mean partial strings as well? Also having trouble converting the addresses from WinHex to QXDM, any help would be great!
 
Does this require a "smart phone" as donor? My friend has a Boost flip phone (no idea the make/model) and if I upgrade from my evo I might give it to him to use on boost.
 
ok! hey guys i followed the instructions on how to put the evo 4g on boost!
i kind of got stuck on the zeroing part! but after trying everything out there from
downgrading from radio 2.15.00.11.19 to 2.15.00.01.09 nothing was working for me!
i had to upgrade again to radio 2.15.00.11.19 and then did a bunch of different scans! and finally i was able to zero out both my esn & meid!

now i wrote the donnors (incognito) meid to the evo and on qpst followed the editing part of prof 0 and prof 1 and active user to 0 wrote to the phone and then rebooted by itself and during the reboot the screen on my pc popped a screen saying the mobile reported the follwing errors while writing nv!!!!
error nv_ue_imei_i nv_readonly_s
well i let the phone finish rebooting itself it does show my incognitos info! but i get no 3g!!!
i went back to qpst to redo the last steps a few times i noticed that everything looks good! expept for the active user 0!!!
it wont stay on 0 !!

any help with this issue would be appreciated!! thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!
:confused::confused::confused:

Any phone will work to get talk and sms texts but for 3g you need a 3g capable phone as the donor.

a "smart phone" is not a requirement though.
The one that everyone uses because it is easy to use and gives 3g is the sanyo incognito. but other phones will work however if they are a 1x phone you will be limited to 1x speed.
