Evo Shift 4g Unlock for use on AT&T? - EVO Shift 4G General

Is it possible? I looked around a bit but am not really sure...

Not even remotely.

Basically the sprint and verizon phones use a radio technology called CDMA while at&t and t-mobile phones use GSM. It would equate to using diesel fuel in your gas car or vice versa. Incompatible technology.

I see...thanks for the help, makes more sense now =-]

nevermind 4g, but you would never have 3g, 1x, or phone calls. Nothing you could do.

Isn't the desire on att..

Wouldn't God smite you for taking a Sprint phone and putting it on AT&T even if it were technically feasible? AT&T is the devil.

Get an attic, the shift has a kinda of sucky slider. And atrix is like gold in the hand

Now what is this attic you speak of? Is it also on AT&T?

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...

Att 4g or 3g

Is there anyway to run the mytouch 4g on att without it only being on edge network?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Pretty sure thats a no since the radios are built for different frequencies.
Unfortunately no, the radio in the Mytouch 4G only supports At&t's Edge Network.
probably not
iphone supports only EDGE on t-mobile network, so I assume the hardware designed for phones are only available to the network they were originally made for
if you want to run a MT4G on att go buy a desire HD. same unit but the radio's work on ATTs 3g network. thats basically the only way.

thats pretty much true there unless the phone is running quadband HSDPA. which is very rare nowadays. tmobile just kinda sucks cause they are running a rare HSDPA band while ATT runs a more mainstream. i buy phones from taiwan (HTC headquarters) for my family to use on ATT and their 3G is flawless.

Could you elaborate more on the Taiwan connection? I'm using this device now but would rather go back to the mt4g. Yet considering the match level of chess these companies are playing I need a Bobby Fischer type of device, of which seems to not be available in the YouEss

It's quite simple. all the phones from Taiwan use the same 3g signal as att here for their smartphones. So you can buy phones from there and they will work perfectly fine on att networks here.

Its been a pretty known fact that they have had issues with interference from the get go but keep saying they know how to fix it. Funny that still now they haven't gotten it worked out.
yeah those GPS are a real issue
I were Sprint I wouldn't sign a deal until they can prove those are fixed
They will fix it. They have plenty of spectrum to do trial and error.

Your not wrong. Evo does not have a LTE radio to recieve LTE signal. But, by the time LTE is up all us phone nerds will be drooling over the new Evo 5d with quad core proccessor, 7.1 surround sound, adreno 2,000 and LTE/Wimax radio's. ( A boy can dream right ;p)

This, Wimax is quite the joke in terms of building penetration and connection. When I look on the Sprint map I have 4g service available, I can't even connect to the **** outside let alone inside. Hell it's so bad I don't even care if custom roms/ports don't have 4g because I can't use it.

What to do with old Evo?

Does anyone know what I can do with an old Evo in terms of prepaid stuff? It's got a clean ESN, and I've got a relative on a shoestring budget that would love something like this, but they can't afford contract prices.
Thanks.
Google is your friend.
It can be flashed to any company using same towers. Boost, virgin, etc.

This is incorrect on multiple levels.
Firstly, straight talk is a GSM carrier, which provides MVNO service for At&t, as well as t-mobile. The evo is a CDMA phone, which is compatible with that network.
The service that you're thinking of would be page plus, which provides verizon service in a mvno environment. The problem is that to use page plus, one must have a valid verizon ESN, which the evo does not have.
The evo must be used on a sprint mnvo, such as ting, or cricket. Virgin mobile will *not* work with the evo, as they require specific ESN numbers outside of the sprint general database.
It is possible to put an evo on page plus, straight talk, boost, and a few others. Straight Talk has gsm phones as well as cdma phones last time I checked. I haven't personally flashed an EVO to page plus but I've seen them. I have an EVO currently on boost, almost anything is possible if you put your mind to it! I
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I think Page Plus is probably the best route. I had a Droid X on it. I have flashed an Evo Shift before to page plus. I don't think 3G worked but i use WIFI mostly anyways. I then flashed it to a Mexican company Iusacell and gave it to a friend that lives down there. Never got the 3G to work though it was a tough phone to flash.
I've know a few people with EVO's on Boost Mobile. They're really happy with it.

HTC One Developer Edition

I have one, but I cant connect it to Verizon. Does this phone is working in Verizon CDMA network ?? If so how can I achieve this ?? Phone also missing the IMS (MEID Verizon version). Please help.
VZW generally will only activate a phone they sold you one branded with VERIZON.

When I have purchased phone, I saw the MHz its supporting, which is Verizon range from 800 to 1900.
PS Anybody knows the programming menu code for HTC ONE ?
The developer version is a gsm device and Verizon operates a CDMA network. They are incompatible and the phone will not work.

Its not a cdma phone. Wcdma is NOT the same as cdma. Its a different technology. And even if it were, it ISN'T, Verizon won't activate non Verizon phones on their network. Way to spend some good money on something without knowing how it works....

Better put your One up for sale, while it's still hot. Or, think about changing your wireless provider.

Just switch to t-mobile, it's not worth paying what verizon is charging you. Then you can even keep your HTC One.

Its not a troll, I'm not so smart in this type of technology. In my mind it was very simple WCDMA is Docomo, which goes way ahead of regular CDMA, and Qualcomm made an support from WCDMA to CDMA2000, thats why I cant understand why Verizon CDMA don't want to support it.

Their service, imo, is not worth their prices. T-Mobile is catching up, and catching up fast. Unlimited everything for $70, no throttles, caps, nothing, and LTE is some areas already.
