Traded Epic for Evo; Custom ROM not allowing activation on Epic?

Hi everyone. Yesterday I traded my Epic for an Evo (for my own personal reasons - regardless of how FUBAR they may be to you). I love the Evo and everything is going well... UNTIL the guy I traded makes me aware of a small little problem: Sprint says I can't activate the phone with a custom ROM on it.
I guess I must have forgot to tell him to not let Sprint in on the phone cracking, but too late. Now he is saying he needs me to help him put the phone back to stock. It currently has Quantum ROM 1.3 on it and clockwork mod and all that stuff.
Do any of you believe that the phone won't activate with this ROM? If so, do you have any recommendations of how to get this guy up and running - remotely? He lives 40 miles from me and it was a hassle for us to meet up yesterday.

Flash the modem stickied at the top of the Dev page using ODIN and you're golden. Why don't you just call sprint and activate the phone. You don't have to bring the phone into a store.

We did call Sprint and they put it in the system and everything and said it was done. However, the phone never activated

BTW, I am at that page and looking for the stock ROM. I see a couple of 2.1 ROM's, but neither of them seem to be the stock official 2.1

The stock tar is stickied at the top of the development thread, just follow the directions.

I took a chance at the method at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=786266 and it worked perfectly. His new Epic works great and is back to Android 2.1.
Thanks for all your help everyone!

You need to run a sense Rom, sounds like your on an aosp... I ran into the issue with my hero

Last time I checked, the Epic ran TouchWiz - not Sense.

By the way, the Evo is faaaarrrr superior to the Epic in my opinion.

Yes, at sucking, the EVO is faaaarrrr superior I agree..lol
But realistically if your gonna make those kind of statements at least claim why you feel that way >.>

Last time I checked my evo was slow as piss and everything lagged, including the Notification area, App Drawer and the whole 9 yards. On top of that it liked to eat battery like a starving child. Htc needs to learn how to make graphics drivers. XV6800, Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2. The cycle never ends, well besides the G2 of course.

Just saw this too. Awesome. A lot of people, including myself, have posted that we hoped it would be an easy port. I dont think any of us thought it would be THIS quick of a port.
Now that cyanogen looks to be almost beta ready, some decisions to make.... gingerbread or cyanogen on 2.2.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

i wonder if theyd be able to get 4g to work though, being that i think theyre only making gsm nexus s'.
i heard cyanogens team has 4g working now on the evo.

How hard will it be for the 2.3 aosp from the nexus s to be ported over to the epic? The obstacles I can see delaying the port are 4G, cdma, and the keyboard. Hopefully these factors won't effect the development for too long.

Lol I don't believe that is gingerbread. I highly doubt they would have got the radios working if they did port it over.. all that is, is the theme, startup & shutdown animation, and gingerbread launcher (can get in the market I believe) theme and start up can be found over in the theme & app section

sorry. still waking up..

Sense port? Whats up.

I heard about the sense port and even saw it up and running. I really want sense and tmobile doesn't even have a regular running sense UI on a phone. The closest thing is the mytouch 4g or the slide with expresso. I am actually trying to trade my vibrant for a g2 because u can port sense onto that. I really want it. Any word y'all?

Why would the EVO shift get sense 2.1 and the original only get 1.0

I just don't understand why the lesser model EVO got a better sense version guess that's how they are making us want the 3d even more

The only thing "lesser" about the Shift is the screen size. Aside from the name and Sense, they're two completely different phones and the Shift is the more powerful one.

The real question is, what does Sense 2.1 add that the Evo can't handle?

This........

Not that there aren't other posts about this but...
Let's not forget the almighty Dollar!
If they give it to the EVO one less reason to buy a new 3D!

Guess I need to check out the shift I was offered the choice of a shift or ns4g to replace my EVO due to being returned 4 times for warranty they both just seemed built cheap light n plastic feeling ill look at it a little more doesn't seem to be much development for shift either

HTC EVO 4G: Sense 1
HTC EVO Shift: Sense 2.1
HTC Evo 3D: Sense 3
That sounds like MARKETING?

Shift > Evo 4g

What was the original question? This doesn't make too much sense.

Um, yah, anyways. I'm just glad we have devs who take the time to port the updated versions if sense to those who want to stay on the cutting edge...

Now now I didn't excuse any one in this thread of anything

This is actually my 1st time posting sumthin on the forums but i've been rooted for the last 3 months jus 2 lazy 2 comment lol, but all my questions i have usually get answered bouncing aroung from rom to rom and using search and i kinda mostly do that to get around the "passionate" debates that pop up time to time lol anywho everybody have a good nite

Thread cleaned and infractions issued where needed.
I'm surprised by some of the members here posting and quoting such utter rubbish. Some of you have over 1000 posts and really should know better, and try to set an example. Does anyone here really find it productive to troll, and reply to trolls?
Sort it out, and grow up please.

My wife has the shift, she won't let me root it for her but hers has sense 1.0. I've checked everywhere and have not found an update for the shift anywhere, did they get a ported rom that brought sense 2.1 with it or am I missing something somewhere.

My wife has the shift and I don't see what's so amzing about it compared to the EVO. Granted I'm rooted and she's not, but I played with it when she first got it and now only touch it when she screws something up. All I have to say is Mikg, its absolutely amazing.

I think it was leaked awhile back so it should be out soon.

Well, its officially official. No OTA ICS for us

I think everyone knew it wasn't going to happen, but now its confirmed.

I'm not a big fan of sense anyway. I likes me AOSP roms.
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium

I'd like to know what they mean by HTC EVO 4G"+". At first I thought the LTE version but that ships with ICS so doesn't make sense. Anyone care / able to explain?

possibly the europe version not sure.. that's what i thought too..

Evo Design 4G
It's coming to the Evo Design 4G (which has the same radio and camera) next month or the month after, so that's promising for us getting 4G and a good camera on ICS.

The Evo 4G+ is the chinese branding of the Evo 3D. But, if someone got Sense 4 working on the HD2, I think we can get it working on the Shift.

Just because the Shift officially isn't getting ICS, doesn't mean it won't get ported over.

I'm happy with NewSense.

Since day 1.

still on newsense, HTC needs to get a pen and paper and take notes from xda at this point.

I wish newSense could get some of the mikrunny(sp?) 3.5 sense. I like being able to reduce the number of screens.
But, newSense is my current go to rom for prl's etc.
