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

really no difference if rooted or not, you still use the same method.

you only need one donor, the guide was talking about 2 different donors to choose from.. as each have a different method to grabbing the files and things you need from the phones.

Cool, thanks for the clarification
 
Okay , Although My Phone Is Fully Flashed To Boost Mobile Its Still Not Rooted , I Downloaded The "Root Checker" App And It Says My Phone Dont Have Root Access , Its Weird Because I Thought In Order To Flash A Phone It Have To Be Rooted , & I When Power Off My Phone & Go Into Recovery Mode This What I See From Top To Bottom:

Hmmm....I would've thought the same thing looking at the info there.
Do you have the superuser app?
Perhaps download a "root only" app and see if it works.:confused:

Edit: such as this app:

Did you boot into recovery and flash a rooted rom file or the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip file?? if not then you only unlocked the boot loader but haven't yet rooted the phone.

goto
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...ooting-dummies-guide-gingerbread-edition.html all the info you need is there..

btw you do not need your phone to be rooted to flash it to boost.
 
i may have found my problem though im not sure.. i can't seem to get the active profile to stay on 0 it keeps changing to 1 any idea's on how to get the settings to stick??
(i've tried writing it to the phone but when the phone reboots it sets the active profile to 1)

I have also tried manually setting the active profile in ##3282# edit mode and pressing commit changes but after the phone reboots the active profile is setback to 1 :/

to the people who got this working did you have the active profile set to your esn@sprint or yourname@boost profile?

That is normal actually.

Do you have working voice and txt? What about working web and data 3g?

yourname@boost profile is the active profile

nah, nothing is working and im not sure why.. check out the previous page (page 4) im not sure whats going on.

can't get it to hands free activate, can't get it to update profile or update prl. tried flashing a boost prl and sprint prl still nothing.
 
Quick question please:

I have a sprint Evo 4G which was flashed using an Incognito and still working but, screen is broken

I lost the Incognito donor phone

Can i use the info from the HTC to flash another replacement
htc?

Can anyone tell me how to?

I have all the SW but, do not know how to extract the info from the
htc.

Thanks a bunch

jon
 
I also have a Sprint Rant which I can use IF I cannot use the info from the HTC

IF I can use the info from the HTC then I will be willing to give the clear
esn info from the Rant to anyone that needs it

Yes you can extract the info from the evo, its actually very easy to do so just follow the guide for the incognito as the information to pull is all on the evo you have.

what is your donor phone?
when are you around I may be able to help if your schedule is ok.

Could I use a samsung transform ultra instead of an incognito or rant?
You need to find out if you can get the HA and AAA keys from it for starters if so then yes you can.
 
I am actually just now learning how to do this and bought a guide, which came with software, WinHex, QXDM, QPST 2.7 And, CDMA Workshop 2.7.0 ( not sure if this is the correct because, in the guide they are using 3. something

Can i use the 2.7 version?

Thank you again for the help

Jon

We'll have to set a date and time to be on so we can talk.
Message me a day and time you are free and wouldn't mind helping me out..

Thanks alot for your time and offering to lend me a hand I really appreciate it.

Hey Panic, just curious if you may have overlooked setting the active user to the correct one when you do the final steps in Service Programming? May want to double check that, after you write the nam files it will make the user which ever was active prior. You have to manually change it to what you want.
 
im pretty sure you got the right ha and aaa. i can't imagine it giving you a false one regardless of the system quality (i could be wrong) the only sure way is to grab it agian and see if it matches. did you write your nam1 and nam 2 to the phone yet?



hey pokeemonn!! sorry bout not getting back sooner!!
i have not been logged in for a while now! and i lost my list of scans!
anyway good for you zeroing ur evo!! it is pain!! but my last scan i got like 3 codes of each meid and esn! but they worked to get me zeroed!!

Some of you noticed that we took this thread down for a few days. The reason was that the legality of the thread came to question. The Moderator team had to discuss it and a decision was made to keep the thread active, but give a disclaimer. The disclaimer must be adhered to. The sticker must transfer to make it legal, for instance. The donor device must be the two listed in the thread, as well. Any discussion that does not fall in these lines will be removed.

Thank you for your cooperation!
