Sorry if this has been asked but searching google and the forums has turned up nothing conclusive. Is it possible to use the EVO on verizon (3g only obviously), or is it still locked to sprint? Thanks!
From what I understand it roams on Verizon when they have coverage and Sprint doesn't.

I think what he is asking is whether or not he can get it unlocked to use on Verizon services.
Im new to CDMA, so i would hesitate to answer this, but i just wanted to clarify his question.
Isn't the incredible verizons evo?

Simple answer: No, it won't happen.
Hard answer is: it could...illegal ways that cannot be spoken of on this forum. And the likely hood you will have everything working right on it...slim...data has always been a pain when you move carriers.
VZW Evo is the Droid Shadow, or Droid 2, or w/e its going to be named. Which probly wont come out to late June, or early july.

Is Droid x capable of this? I have a feeling not... just saw the commercial for the first time.

My understanding is absolutely not.

Correct. To my knowledge, Verizon hasn't launched any device capable of that yet. I know the service is on track for a December launch.
I wouldn't worry about it. Unless you live in NYC, LA, Houston, etc., you won't get LTE until around 2013. We'll all have new phones by then.

Tru. By then will have 12inch screen phones. 4 core processor and 3d options.

I thought it was launching in all the football cities...
Expect 4g start to roll out in the first quarter of 2011. From what I understand, February. Once rolled out, it will be the most comprehensive 4g available in the US. Verizon has more more towers and are being retro-fitted.
i thought i saw somewhere that the software updates WOULD make the droid x capable with 4G LTE. i could be wrong. will try to find where i saw this

The closest thing you're going to get to an epic on the verizon network is the fascinate. It's not as good though (no front facing camera, physical keyboard, or led notifications (even though they have BLN mod))
I convinced my girlfriend to buy one.

This.
Although, I'm not certain that we can discuss the specifics.
Suffice it to say that it would involve obtaining a donor device, altering MEID numbers and doing some 'programming' w/ a tool such as CDMA workshop (paid version) to get data working. Beyond these 'cliff notes'.. I'm not at liberty to discuss this.. (I had a samsung moment on Boost CDMA for a while and also put an HTC hero on Boost CDMA for my wife ... neither device was allowed or possible to activate w/ conventional methods LOL)
Just sayin'
And just to be clear you wouldn't have any flavor of 4G...

Is it possible to flash the sprint nexus 4g to Verizon? If so, how?
Thanks
The short and simple answer is no. If you want the long detailed version look around xda as this gets asked a lot in other cdma phone sections...
Sent on the go from my android device using Tapatalk
Oh ok thanks. I figured it could be possible since the verizon iPhone was able to flash to sprint. I guess the nexus is different or something.
i would imagine using tools there available online you could in theory get it going on verizon and maybe even get 3g but 4g wouldnt work for sure

I have a verizon prl flashed. It allows my nexus to roam on the verizon network at all times. It increased my dl speeds from 300k to 2mb per second.
You still need sprint service though.

Could you post how you did that? I would like increased 3G speed and coverage. 4G is fine in coverage areas for me. 3.5-5 down avg

Nope..it's highly possible ..check YouTube and eBay. People even got step by step and so on. So I know it's possible.
I was hoping to do the same thing. Technically it seems like the Sprint ones should be possible.
I poked around the forums trying to find a general answer why this wasn't possible but didn't find any real concrete answer. Can anyone explain why it's not possible or point me to a post that does?
Thanks
Possible, yes. Legal? Not so much.

The fact that its illegal is why your not going to find a how-to on xda.

Why would it be illegal?
Root your phone and then download roam control.

I dont think you understand what the OP is trying to do. He doesn't want to roam on Verizon, he wants to get a Verizon plan and activate his phone on Verizon. That requires falsifying your IMEI and no you cant do that with an app from the market.

Google is your friend, OP.

The hardest part would be getting VZW to add the devices IMEI into their database, impossible, no, but very difficult.

You guys are really... nvm.
Its the radio chip thats bond to your stupid gay american cariers.

Hey Guys,
Great deal on Ebay; there's droid incredibles that are refurbished (in B+ condition, I assume that it means near perfect but still a little handled)
for $105. Not a bad price for a phone.

The ebay description claims that it is locked to verizon,
I have never owned an CDMA phone so I don't know if XDA has ways to make it unlocked for any CDMA carrier
you can get it on other CDMA carriers (Cricket, Boost) pretty easily using EPST, but you cannot get it on any GSM carriers.

so using EPST you can flash the phone to work on any CDMA carrier around the world? Provided they Activate your handset on their n/w ?

Very hard to believe seeing as how Verizon was on it, next day T-Mobile gets updated and where is Sprint at?? The Sprint Galaxy Nexus was updated before any carrier, which was awesome but now the Moto X update to Kit Kat, not a word any where. I so wish my contract with Sprint was up because after being a 16 year Sprint customer, I am ready to jump ship with these fools. The network gets worse and worse everyday, it seems. It should not take this long for our Moto Xs to be updated!
Why are people still on sprint? It's no cheaper than any other carrier, and it has the worst signal. I get if you're stuck in a contract, but there are some that willingly sign a new one with them.
Could be Moto holding the update until a bug fixer is available for the rest of us. There are some bugs in Kit Kat that need attention.
Dude, US Cellular doesn't have it either... Doesn't matter how much we try. When it comes it comes.

If you really want to get involved with participating previews of the update you have to join the Motorola Forums... Here's a link to help. (Must go back to stock if rooted. I believe stock unlocked boot loader is fine too) link: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/77d4221775 Joining this though and participating involves rules like here. Fightclub rule number 1?

Some people are experiencing hissing noises during calls that seems to only affect Sprint Moto Xs; other carrier Xs don't seem to have the issue and other phones in the same area of service for Sprint also don't exhibit this issue. This could also be a source for the delay.

Ouch...anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 months later than the other 3 major US carriers. That's almost as bad as historical Verizon status.

Good Lord I'm not even furious, I'm just taken aback. I'll be contacting Moto and Sprint to get some more solid info too. Honestly I would rather have a nice build of kit Kat than one with bugs!
