Sprint Hero ESN change?

Anyone make it into the back end of the phone yet?
I have a Mogul on a SERO plan. From what I have read the Hero will not work on a SERO plan. The only way i see around that is to put the Mogul ESN in the Hero. Has anyone been able to edit the ESN of the device?

Probably won't happen for quite a while, if at all. You're better off getting rid of SERO and negotiating for some discounts off of your plan honestly.

You do realize modifying the ESN is illegal right?

bump......

it is not illegal in every situation. if you are not causing fraud by the action of cloning the esn, I do not believe that it is criminal (i.e. if I take my old sanyo backup phone that I no longer use, clone it's ESN to a sprint HERO, then use the HERO on my SERO account, I am not being fraudulent as I am using my own ESN on my own plan). my view of it anyways.

i'm also curious to learn how to do this. Though i read that the ESN is encoded in the hardware of some phones, can this be the case for Sprint Hero?

ya im curious too. ihave touch pro and want to use android on my sero. sprint is being a dictator and saying that I cant use a particular handset cuz my plan doesnt pay them enough money? hey i have unlimited data/text 500 min. i dont need another frickn plan.

Retentions will give you 2 options... Everything Plus Referral OR switch to everything data see if you get a corp discount; Retentions can no longer just give everything away or do this and that just because you feel you deserve it. Also the HERO, PRE, PIXI, instinct are ESN locked to require a specific plan. (Everything data, Everything Plus Referral, or a business plan) Your better off with the Everything data 450, get the any mobile anytime and yearly upgrades rather then 22 months.
As to the person looking at cloning the ESN from their old Mogoul or even the LG on BOOST, that is fraud. You are looking to do something against the Terms and Conditions of your agreement. Not being under does contract does not mean that you are not obligated to abide by the terms and conditions of Sprint. Make the Jump drop sero, Get more perks, and your life will be easier. Plus you get a discount every 12 months!

negative, cowboy. EPRP or everything data with my corp discount would cost $30 more a month. That's $360 a year. Cash money in my pocket beats a "discount" every year - blows it out of the water, really. I have everything I need in my SERO 500 plan for $30 a month, I'm not under the illusion that more is better.
I'll try my luck with an ESN swap before bowing to "the man".

So has anybody got HTC Hero on Boost Unlimited CDMA?
I need to know because im trying to get a Samsung moment on Boost. I try to access the xda page from above and i dont have permisiion. Is it possible to activate an Android phone on Boost CDMA with data and phone call working?

the xda thread i made was deleted by the mods, i had a good easy to follow step by step guide however the first link i put up which was where i got the info from has finally been updated and now has a guide too, it isnt as detailed as the one i made but u can get by...

now...... I can confirm I have an HTC Sprint Hero on boost Mobile CDMA service and i still havent figured out how to get EvDo to work but 1x data works just fine for me, only problem is visual voicemail doesnt work, so u either have to just call vociemail every now and then to check your messages or get google voice to get notifications on your phone
goodluck

[ANSWERED]T-Mobile Data Plan?

Now, I know there are lots of threads on this already and I took a few minutes skimming search results and didn't find this answered.
Basically, I was hoping to switch myself to the $10 internet plan on T-Mobile rather than paying the $25 internet plan. I bought my phone unlocked from Google.com and not subsidized through T-Mobile. However, when I asked to switch to the other plan, they asked me for my IMEI number on my phone.
Has anyone else been asked for their IMEI when switching to a different data plan? Do they actually have a database of the existing N1 IMEI numbers or are they simply trying to build one? Would I be better off grabbing an old Razr and giving them that IMEI then switching back to my N1?
Lots of questions! Haha.
Anyway, if anyone could shed a bit of light on this I would very much appreciate it.

No, a few months after the initial G1 release T-Mobile caught on to the "scam" and closed the loophole. You have to have an Android data plan now or nothing.

Hmm.. I was under the impression that this was solely for subsidized phones which they already had IMEI's for.
So, in the end, you're stuck paying the extra cost for the Android version of Web even if you bought it unlocked then huh?

Pretty much--don't know what to tell you I bought the phone outright since I didn't want to kill my plan to be forced on the N1 T-Mobile individual plan for at least 4 months...and I was forced to go onto the $25/mos plan from my $20/mos BlackBerry plan.
EDIT: They didn't ask me for what my IMEI number was though. In T-Mobile's system it will probably say I still use a BlackBerry device

The IMEI numbers update automatically in the system on a 2 day lag. So whatever phone you use today will reflect in their system on Saturday. As far as the $10 data plan, it will not work. It should say something to the effect that "you don't have the proper provisioning" or something like that. Basically your eating up too much bandwidth. You obviously had enough money to buy a Nexus 1, but won't pay for the premium data plan? That's the same thing as buying a brand new Ferrari and asking your friends for gas money to go out? At least I see it that way

And, as far as buying an N1 and not paying for the premium plan, the premium plan is great as long as you have a job to afford it. When you get laid off, not so much.

I am currently using a 5.99 plan on my nexus. fast 3.5g internet for really cheap price. it works just fine. they have my imei. they know I am using the internet like that but they don't do anything about it. by simply putting in the epc.tmobile.com apn you'll get full internet on any plan. but this only works for the nexus. no other android phone can use this because tmobile provides the phones not Google.

From what I have been able to find out, if you had the old $6 T-Zones, you were able to be grandfathered in when they cancelled the service. The cheapest net they offer now is the "Phone First/Web2Go" internet which is $10 a month. Essentially the same thing just 4$ more.

Good analogy. However, people don't get rich by spending money. If you can find a way to pay less, you do it. Some people made a financial stretch to afford the N1 and now cannot afford to pay for a premium data service.
Data service is data service and should not be dependent on device. At least I see it that way.

Hey, I'm all fur finding ways to pay as little as possible.
But let's not pretend an extra $15 is breaking the bank.
Hello, I just cancelled my cable TV after realising u rarely watch the 200 channels available.
And all the network channels i can get using a $15 pair if rabbit ears.
HD, .5.1
Next to go is the phone. Experimenting with magic jack this month.
All I want to pay for is high speed internet.
I'll save at least $120 a month

I think the grandfathering is BS because when I first got my G1 I had T-Zones on my old v3 and they made me switch to the newer data plan. To clarify, they had to do it because of activating the phone, so I don't know if you just buy it outright and don't tell them it could work.

I got my phone unlocked. I didnt give them my IMEI, they automatically know it once your sim card is in the phone. Ive had the 5.99 tzones plan for a while now, but this article should help you out http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/5381...ed-data-for-5-99-works-wiphone-and-nexus-one/
edit: this comment by a user might also be helpful.
"as an alternative, i was able to set this up without customer service's help. this was more than a year ago when I setup tzones to work on my treo 650. the trick was that i had an old phone sony ericcson t300 that i had purchased back in 2000 or 2001. I keep it around because if i have an emergency where my phone or my wife's phone stops working i can transfer the sim card quickly to a working phone to make/receive a call. So here's what i did:
setup my sim card in the t300.
make a call or send a text message; long enough to let the t-mobile servers detect that I have switched phones.
log in to t-mobile.com
verify that my phone is now detected as a t300. if not, click on the "not my phone" and change it.
next, adjust service plans, t-zones appears on the list.
add tzones to your billing cycle. make any additional changes you need to make.
save the settings.
change your sim card back to the original phone.
setup the phone for t-zones service"

T-mobile has two data plans.
1) Data plan
2) Sidekick data plan
They have a ton of different pricing for number 1) , the $10 smart web, the $15 dollar smartphone plan, and the $25 android plan.
(I'm not even including all the grandfathered plans like t-zone/t-mobile shadow/blackberry,etc)
The point being they are all the same, they use the same servers, they are all unlimited, so If you can manage to get any of those plans on your bill you will have full 3g/HSPA speed internet on your phone, regardless of what phone it is.

Wow, how lucky am I

Long story short, I changed my cellphone to N1 last month from my old Nokia 5800 XM with the unlimited $15 data plan. Not surprisingly, they forced the $25 dollars smartphone data plan on me soon after I swapped the sim card.
But considering I use wifi mainly on my phone, I called today to downgrade my data plan to the $15 200mb tier as the option doesn't show up in my online account feature section. And apparently, the lady on the phone doesn't know her business too much. She asked me what phone model I was using several times and asked me if it's a smart phone. I had to articulate word by word "google. nexus. one." to her so she could put it down. Before that, she just assumed I was using an iPhone, lol. And also she sounded quite confused about the data plans AT&T has. After some long wait on hold, she cheerfully told me she successfully changed my data plan to $15. So I logged into my account and surprisingly found out the feature of my data plan is:
Data Unlimited: Quick Messaging/Basic Phones
AT&T Recommends $15.00 N/A Unlimited Current
Didn't the honest me just tell her that I was using a nexus one and it's a smart phone? I guess she really doesn't know too much about phone tech even though she works as a customer service rep for AT&T. But I don't blame her for that. Well, even though if somehow in the future they find out there's some mistake and revoke the change, I wouldn't mind because I don't use that much 3g data anyway.

I wouldn't go out of my way, but if that force you to upgrade or realize the error just know it's the correct charge.

Wow you got an awesome plan that is hard to get anymore. Nice

Not a bad plan! Hopefully it will last...

yea i hope it lasts for you too. hey guys on a side note. is that whole "Google charing you on your phone bill" option in place already? because im buying apps and oddly enough, my AT&T bill is coming up $10-$40 dollars extra for the past 3 months
also....since we both got AT&T.....you happen to have her rep number? i wanna call and try to get her so i can try my luck with her

Oh everyone, I guess I spoke too soon. This morning I found out they changed my plan to $25 again. I guess it's the system automation.
I called them again and this time the Guy there apparently know I'm using a HTC phone. But still he couldn't change my plan as he needed me to call from another phone to get the IMEI number. I guess I'll try to call again then.

Yeah that's what has been happening to everyone else. The system automatically sweeps accounts and puts the correct data plan. Oh well.

Not if you're on an old att "blue" plan
* Orig att wireless, pre cingular

best of luck in getting it changed, I was tempted to jump to iphone 4 but would like to have the unlimited data. On local carrier I have the nexus one with a $14.99 unlimited data & unlimited text, tough to find another carrier that can do that.

[Q] Just upgraded and got 4G unlimited?

Hi, I just upgraded my N97 to the G2 and got the HD7 free on black Friday.
I didn't have a data plan before, but when I look up my service it says I have 4g unlimited? I can't seem to find the service fee for it either.
I don't want to get a surprise at the end of the month and be hit with a $30 data plan.
Should I be worried?
The Rep told me the upgrade is only for the phone and does not affect the plan.
If I did get free 4G service then WOOT!

highly doubt it. when you upgrade, they change your data rate plan to the required one for your device. you're most likely going to get charged for it

thanks,
My brother got the HD7 and he had the 5.99 tmobile web plan, does this mean he lost his tmobile web plan forever? We he don't plan on keeping the phone and plans to go back to his Milestone.

For tmobile I know that if you upgrade a phone to a "data service required" model, YOU WILL NOT NEED A DATA SERVICE TO USE IT. They pull that bs to get more money out of you on the upgrade offer. All you need is a sim card for the phones designated provider. I know this because I handle the phones in the family plan for my family and have seen nearly every situation and outcome. Every 2 years each of us has a phone we get an upgrade for that individual line. We do not take upgrades always in turn and in the past have bought these "data plan required" phones off craigslist or ebay. They still work. If you use the data without a plan you will get charged out the ass. Luckily you can restrict yourself from doing that just incase you can't remember not to. You will also not lose the web features that are registered to your sim card. If you have the edge package (the cheaper one) and stick your sim in another phone, that phone now becomes "edge" enabled. Same goes for 3G package unless you put it in a HSPA compatible phone, then you will have the HSPA capabilities. Kinda nice that they aren't charging a jacked up fee for their new data service, but my connection locally sucks for it anyways so go figure.
One other rule about tmobile that I like is that they grandfather you on certain things. For example, I pay a flat $55 monthly for unlimited minutes/texts/data and they no longer have this plan available but since I've had it for the last few years, I am an exception to any plans they have now and that makes me a happier camper.

Thanks
so should I call the rep at the store back and tell him to remove the 4g unlimited?
I never had a data plan before the update, but my bro had the 5.99 plan.
or should i switch to a dumb phone and remove it myself?
thanks

You will NOT be able to keep the phone if you want to cancel the data plan. Tmobile requires the data plan as a part of the deal on the upgrade. I have a hard time believing this wasn't made abundantly clear to you before you upgraded.
Sent from my HTC Vision

That's what I heard, but I kept asking the Rep, Will the upgrade add or change anything to my current, plan and he kept saying no. And he assured me that the upgrade is only for the phone. He told me the Data plan is only for new subscribers.

Ray as much as I would like to say woohooo for you, it is a well know problem with T-Mo Reps...They hay no clue what they are talking about! I would check your online account in the next few days, but you may not see it until your new billing cycle. These folks really suck at getting their fact straight!
Anyway, i hope that ou do get what you wanted, and keep us posted on the long term outcome.!

I find that no one ever knows what they are doing. I upgraded to the G2 and was very happy until the website said that another data plan was added to our contract for 30 a month. I've had a data plan for quite a while and it was 25 a month. When we called Tmo, they said I had to have that data plan on top of my old one to keep the phone. They were obviously mistaken but refused to do any of the leg work to get it fixed. I had to make calls to Best Buy and Tmo many times to make sure that it was fixed. Sorry for the rant, I just find it hard to believe that anyone has gone through this process smoothly when it has been a huge pain in the ass every time I have upgraded a phone.

I checked online and i saw the $30 data plan. I knew it wasn't going to be free, but oh well.
Do you guys know if i could change it to the $15 data plan?
thanks

I would recomend to anyone getting phones on contract.... buy the phone outright and all the plans become cheaper. Once gou have a contract you loose all your bargining chips. If i have a problem with my service i can call them up and say fix this or i cancel. They will quickly transfer me to a level whatever rep that has the power to change anything oon my plan to keep me happy. Just an fyi if you dont have the cash to buy the phone tmo has a plan that you pay them 20 a month till it paid off no interest. Even going that route monthly rate is still less then being on contract.

Reps will generally tell you whatever they can to make a sale. The rep outright lied to you when he said it wouldn't require a data plan.you should've asked for it in writing.
All subsidized smartphones require a compatible data plan (except the Nokia Nuron) for the life of the contract.

He didn't say I didn't need data, he just said he wouldn't add or change anything. He just never mentioned I will need a data plan.
looks like my bro won't be getting his 5.99 tzone plan back.

Not a chance. It's a term stipulated by the contract in order for you to get the discounted price. All spelled out in the terms and conditions paper you sign.

On the G2, you can just use the "My Account" app, "Plan and Services" tab - it will show you up to the minute info regarding your plan, details, and monthly costs. Nothing is free, but TMo is as close as you can get in the US.

What happen is for some reason when upgrading 2 lines only the first one gets the "unlimited 4g" I ran into this problem a few days ago. The system doesn't automatically add the web on the second device(the "free" one) So the customer leaves the store with out the internet of the second device. Now unless he went into your account and changed the tzone package then you should be fine. But in the case that he did just call customer care and have them put the old feature on. They will be reluctant to do so and say that it doesnt exist anymore but they keep all of the plans in the system. Reps just dont like to go into the system and find the package. Hope this helps.

"Business Reasons" gets you Unlimited Data!

I bought my Atrix on launch day after having left ATT the previous June for Sprint (Evo). Before leaving I had an iPhone 3GS with unlimited data.
I called ATT yesterday to see if a simple phone call could restore my unlimited data plan instead of having to do the iphone 2g sim card trick. Long story short, I now have unlimited data again! Here is the key piece of information that I learned.
If you EVER had unlimited data, call ATT and kindly explain that you have a BUSINESS REASON for unlimited data. It will have to get approved by a manager, but I was specifically told that "business reason" is the key words you need to use to get the switch approved.
FYI: When I left ATT the first time, we had two phones on the account. One of the numbers, my wife's, stayed on the account. So, we technically didn't quit ATT for that year since my wife stayed with ATT. Not sure if thats relevant or not.
Good Luck!
EDIT: My "Business Reasons" were that I am an IT consultant and use my Atrix for remote access to clients. The CSR was very understanding and the manager practically auto-approved the change. I don't know for sure if having had unlimited data before is required or if simply having business needs for more data are enough. Anyone else care to give it a shot?

This was a news article a few weeks ago. AT&T wants to win any customers back.

I was able to get mine back just by asking for a supervisor, no reason needed.

Yea,........that didn't work so well for me. I have been trying to get mine back for months now. I even went as far as giving them the feature code for it. Just blew me off. Talked to two different supervisors.
I called and left a message with the AT&T office lady that called me about when I complained about the HSUPA. I am hoping on Monday, I can talk her into giving me it back. (with a little HSUPA thrown in the mix).

You won't get HSUPA, that's a software update on the phone, not on your account or anything to do with the towers near you. Good luck getting it back though!

Yea, I am aware of that......she is the one that called me when I complained about the Atrix not having it. I figure while I call and ask for an update on when we will be receiving that, maybe I will hit her up for putting the unlimited data back on for me as a good deed for not giving us HSUPA right away.

I can confirm this did not work for me :'( back to 2g trick for me, if only I can find someone to let me borrow.

I really hope this works. Def will try tomorrow cuz I use to have unlimited data for my iPhone but when I switched over to the Attic they forced me to get rid of it! Blower!

If you had unlimited data for your iPhone and switched to the Atrix and maybe were told by a rep in an AT&T store that for some reason you couldn't keep it, you were fooled. I'd go back into an AT&T store.... possibly a different one, and inquire about it. I had a whole mess to go through when i activated my Atrix (ordered it with one of my parent's upgrades, so i wouldn't have to pay full price).... and at first it was activated under my mom's number.... so they had to reassign her iPhone to her number, then when they assigned the Atrix to my number, she showed me the overview of the services for my phone number, at which point i noticed that it was no longer under the unlimited plan. She called someone, and mentioned this to them..... and they changed it over on their end. I guess they might have a way of looking up whether or not you actually did have it previously.... but either way, you SHOULD have been able to keep your unlimited plan. I think even when i thought about pre-ordering it online before it's release, it had the unlimited data plan in the list and auto-selected.

I thought that was the case. I called AT&T and told them that I use to have unlimited data and told them that I usually go over 2gb before my cycle is up and after talking to several reps, they finally reactivated it! Thanks a lot for this thread because having only 2gb of data a month was really starting to aggravate me...

HAHAHA! I hate autocorrect on this phone sometimes.... #FAIL

That's why i like Swype. type Atrix in manually.... and it remembers it. TADA!
Not to mention after a few uses, it's easy as hell.... and quite often more accurate than the multitouch keyboard. so used to typing really quick with my ex-iPhone 4 and having auto-correct fix some minor mistakes..... then going to Android's multitouch keyboard which seems to have not much of any autocorrect for most stuff.... found myself using the backspace button rather often.

what did you do to get this done? can you give us some details?

In his comment on the previous page, he said when he bought his Atrix, he was told he could not keep his unlimited plan, which was a lie. That's it... Plain & simple. Not some workaround... Just fixing a mistake by an ill-informed representative.

Unlimited data plan for Atrix with tethering? Is it possible?
Hi - I just moved from iphone 4 unlimited data to Atrix 4G and was told that, in order to add tethering, I couldn't have unlmited data anymore. Does anybody know if there is a way around this? I wanted to add tethering so i could get rid of my dedicated USB modem (and the $60/month charge) and, hoping to see 4G speeds sooner rather than later on the atrix, an Atrix Hotspot would give me better speeds than the USD modem.
I know you can go unlimited iphone to unlimited Atrix but can you do that and have tethering? Any advice would be appreciated.

Only way to tether and have unlimited is with one of the workarounds. Not exactly sure what they are though. unlimited + tethering from AT&T themselves would be like voluntary network suicide.
