Need to Flash my Evo 4G for the Carribean Will Pay $$!!

Hello Peeps
I'm gunna b going to the island Antigua soon in January and would like to know if there's anyone out there that can flash an EVO 4G so I can use my phone while im in the islands. FYI: im gunna b there for quite sum time in case ur wondering
P.S. Also I heard there's a service called lime that's offered there i know this is a cdma fone and that only GSM phones work there I'm not retarded, I'm also aware that CDMA fones are no good there but I would pay u if u can find me a way , like I always say when there's a will there's always a dam way.

You answered your own question. CDMA phones are no good there. There is no way around that.
On a side note, PLEASE use punctuation and spelling correctly. It doesn't make you look very bright when you talk like that. It could be just me, but I find stuff like that REALLY annoying. ._.

Instead of paying someone for a solution that won't appear anytime soon, why don't you just spend that money on a gsm phone and buy the sim cards for service over there? Is it the 4G service that you want or the wifi tethering you were hoping to utilize?

When I went to Antigua this year I bought an unlocked Blackberry and took it down with me. Just buy a prepaid sim while down there. I was there for 2 weeks so I don't know if you will find it worth your while.

Do a search for a VOIP solution in these forums. I remember reading where someone went to Belize and was able to mod their EVO to work there. Similar situation to yours.
To the lame people who commented that it's impossible: Advancement is only made when it is believed that there is an answer and that is possible. Then you have to keep searching until you find that answer. Don't expect it to be handed to you. Saying something is impossible without trying is just plain lazy. Let go of your mother's tit!

I always use brightroam.com whenever I go overseas.
You can rent everything and have a blackberry or cheapo phone already setup to use over there. It's signficantly cheaper then getting service when you arrive. They mail you the phone, you set it up and take it with you. Plus you can always google coupon codes w/ them. "15AEREWARD" gets you $15 off.

Even with VOIP he's regulated to only WiFi which is a pretty shoddy solution. But hey, that might be good enough for him.
As far as saying it's lame to think it's impossible, unless you open the EVO and physically change the radio, and then update the software to reflect that change, it is. So sure it's not 100% impossible, just impracticable and almost impossible. But hey, now I know who to go to when I want my XBox 360 to play PS3 games.

Lol @ thetakara yea it may be annoying but dis ain't no english class, @ sombdy I like ur enthusiasm im behind u 100%, lmao let go of ur mother's tit lol, i'll look into dat website rutter09. as for bb...yea blackberries not my thing but mite as well go 4 a gsm fone

that has got to be the dumbest response i've ever seen.. str8 up its impossible, regardless of how lazy you think ppl are.. it was an easy call.. its the very reason u havent seen iphones on the verizon network.. its not possible. we're talking two diff technologies (cdma vs gsm) in antigua, all cell companies are gsm..

So don't pursue running cdma on a gsm network. You can run a VOIP hack. That has been done. The point is I see people respond frequently with "that's not possible" when the truth is they just don't know the answer. People are hacking their phones to run on Verizon and boost mobile. What if people had said "that's impossible" before someone found the answer? Pretty dumb.
The point of my post was that it is not constructive to say that it is impossible. The reason for these forums is to help each other find the answers we need.

lol......that's a funny and accurate analogy.

Considering your grammar errors and complete arrogance when called out on those errors, I sincerely hope your reasoning for going to Antigua for an extended period of time is not for the purpose of attending medical school.

You are correct. It can be done.

Move along. Nothing To See Here. Please Delete this thread.

*renamed title because some people are just dense*
IF and only IF you are CURRENTLY eligible for the $75 upgrade, the 12 month mark since your last registered upgrade, you can get your upgrade pushed to a full upgrade THROUGH ACCOUNT SERVICES ONLY.
How? Call in, tell whoever answers that you want to cancel, this will put your account at risk getting you to Account Services, and then tell them that you wanted to upgrade but you can't now and want to know if they can reset your upgrade eligibility.
Follow my instructions. If you are not yet eligible for $75, it WILL NOT WORK. Period. Not even if you are one day away, IT WILL NOT WORK. Can't be any clearer than that.
To clarify because some people are seriously dumb: This is an OFFER that Account services has for a LIMITED TIME for qualified customers. Qualified means 1) at risk AND (not or) 2) currently elig for $75. Both. Not either, it's both, that's the program rules.

Lol! Fail...

Acc Serv are the ones who do these kind of things.

and no I'm not teaching anyone how to scam Sprint cause that is what it is.
like i said, it didn't work for me anymore.
only did it cause i was 19 and didn't want to pay $600 for a phone. lol

Why don't you get a full unlimited plan with sprint (minutes and data) and pay that for three months. That should make you eligible for a full upgrade. Did this like in Jan so bout time the evo 3d comes out I could grab it. Sprint changed their upgrade policies but you have to fall in certain guidelines for you to be eligible to get a new phone at no cost every year. If you don't fall within those guidlines you only have to pay so much for the phone you want

You know. These scams are hilarious. I have been dealing with Sprint a few years now and you only get something done with the right person and the right words. Scamming and POSTING it on an open forum is just stupid. As big of a corporation these cell providers are do you not think they don't pay some poor soul to read around on forums? As fast as these things get posted they correct them.
I have a relative that works for Sprint and I have talked to them about these types of things. I'm not blowing smoke, they seriously read forums such as these to see what people are trying to pull off.
Now as for rooting thats a thing that 85% of people are doing. They know they can't stop it and they know that you can do certain things to a phone to make it not power up or constantly boot loop so if you got the TEP then they are gonna replace it. However if they catch on then your screwed.
With no disrespect I would seriously stop wasting your time posting this and attempt to get the 2 minutes of your life back spent reading these threads.

?????????? Why not just wait till your eligible or pay full price ?

if u want to bypass CS & go straight to retentions/account services, call 877-775-4886....I don't even waste my time w/ CS anymore unless it's something minor.

I had an issue where sprint claimed i signed up in 2007 when in fact i signed up in 2001, which would only get me a $75 upgrade ...after enough complaining they set both of the phones on my account up with 150 upgrades... Perhaps i should have pushed harder lol

*sigh*.. this has been kinda known for a long time now.. along with the folks on the Sprint side..
very, very RARELY will you find and speak with an individual that you can attempt to scam your way into getting perks anymore.. mostly because of morons that can and have abused the system.
YMMV.. but for the most part.. stuff like this doesn't succeed often.. and i've seen people accidentally cancelling all the way.. losing their account... even when they had a grandfathered plan that they can now never go back to.

I was on the Boost network for over 3 years. I only switched to Sprint to get the EVO and because I am on a Employee discount plan.
You can not call up Boost and say, I have an EVO here is my ESN. I guess that might be unethical, but thats debateable. You simple do not tell them what kind of phone it is. Once you have established service with Boost, with one of their own phones. A person might call up, tell the Boost CR that their old phone broke, and that they acquired a replacement phone. Simply tell then the ESN number, they will type it in, some CRs will notice its a Sprint phone and send you on your way without adding it, others will not and they will add it. Some phones will work, others will not, I do not know why.
As to why the hacking and such, I think there are people out there looking to make a buck. Some people will pay anywhere between 50-100 to get this done. I did it myself by simply calling. My phone was never cloned, nor did the ESN go bad. Like I said, I was able to put my TP2 back to Sprint when I switched back. I originally bought the TP2 off ebay with a clean ESN.
* About the hack or Boost systems, well I would guess, there might be a few rogue Boost CRs who do this on the side for a fee. Therefore, implying there are hacks that need to be done in order to charge.

Anybody else really bored...

Anybody body else really bored since they can't root? I use to flash something different two-three times per week on my hero...now i'm bored.
Don't get me wrong. I enjoy the phone for the most part and it's a HUGE step beyond my hero. If I could have my upgrade back I would get something else...sadly i'm poor and don't want to shove out the full price or buy anything off ebay (i've been banned from there since 2003...long story).
Anyways...just venting...feel free to post whatever if you're bored.

Yep me too I busted my old EVO
Now with a 2.3.yea .............. Now where are my waffels........3

bored aswell, the only thing keeping me cool with the evo is the free xtended battery sprint gave me
1d 5hrs 39mins on stock 2.3 with moderate use on the first charge, can't wait to see how long it lasts once I break it in and flash a new rom

Free extended battery? Good for you haha. I just ordered a cheapo extended battery off amazon...we will see how that works.

Why don't you just get the 3D or something? It's rooted now, so you get a better phone AND the ability to play with ROMs. I know I wouldn't be waiting around for the EVO to be rooted if I had the opportunity for a better phone...

I talked to sprint and they said that since I used my upgrade I couldn't return this phone and get the upgraded price again. Can't afford the 3d
Let's GOOOO Mountaineers!
EDIT: Sprint customer service people are hit and miss. By email they told me I would not be able to get the upgrade discount again...HOWEVER...I went onto the chat feature and they told me I could. Wow

Yeah I had the hero too .I love my OG evo and I herd teamwin or something like that was working on root for the EVO4g..

It's pretty sad that people think Qualcomm support is dead because I left. I'm nobody special. I can't believe nobody else has posted any ROMs other than squid2 and one guy just trying to spread around his donation link more trying to make money off other peoples work basically. I'm going to pm a select few of you guys with a link to somewhere we can do this on our own terms. I know you guys all probably think I'm a ****, but I'm really not. I got pissed because I very calmly and nicely responded to someone's comment, they responded back ending with "take a xanax", I took offense and reported them and I ended up with 2 infractions (my first ever) that I didn't quite understand. One was retracted after the fact. But anyway, don't worry I didn't go far.

I would jump in, but I had to cut my home internet for financial reasons. I have the CDMA version so the current ROMs weren't of use to me yet. I feel kinda useless right now, lol. I might be able to go to an unlimited plan (another $15 a month) instead of my current 10GB. Just setting up my new phone (and wife's) used most of my data. I'll figure something out. Thanks for laying so much groundwork bro.

I hear you. I had to do the same thing being laid off for a while, waiting for a call from my union hall to go back to work. Also why I haven't acquired another E4 for testing, and can't have my phone down so I don't miss a call. If it wasn't for my unlimited plan with boost, I wouldn't be doing much right now. I can build a ROM way faster than I can upload it. Sometimes I go to a near by coffee shop and have a cup or 2 and make use of the free WiFi.
