I'll cut to the chase.
I'm on Verizon currently mulling a switch to Sprint as a money saver.
Strongly considering the Evo as I can get it for a penny on Amazon.
Owning an Incredible and a NookColor, I know just about everything I need to know about rooting, blah blah, etc.
Just one question, on Evo ROMs, is 4G actively working? Say CM7 for example?
and is the root process the same? Unrevoked or am I out of the loop?
Yes, you can use unrevoked.
And yes, 4G works in cm7.

Ahh..not really. The latest Gingerbread update broke unrevoked. Currently there is no root exploit for the updated firmware. It's been that way for about a month. Many have confirmed that new Evo's are being shipped with 2.3.3 so until an exploit is found, if you get a new Evo you will not be able to root it.

Is there progress on rooting the 2.3.3 EVOs?
I'm hoping by some means Amazon would ship a Froyo EVO.

From what I hear the unrevoked team is working on it, but no ETA and scant information has been revealed. I'm waiting on a root to be discovered as well so I can exchange mine due to a few bright spots on the screen, but they are tolerable vs. giving up my rooted phone.
little bit more info for you then what others gave trying to look out for XDA peeps

not that i am aware of due to the fact none of the HTC 2.3.3 phones have been hacked yet. Maybe you could sell your vzw phone and buy a rooted evo off here or ebay or maybe craigslist. If you do tho gotta get the number checked to make sure its able to be activated on sprint and not black listed. Or if you wanted to you could get the evo 3d (which there has been strides on is being worked on very diligently so that it can be rooted.) I know you probally dont want to spend 200 but if you ported your number before 7/23 you can still get 125 credit.
http://www.sprint.com/landings/portcredit/?ECID=vanity:switchtosprint
also i beleave sprint will buy your phone at the moment for 72 bucks
with their buy back program which would leave you with a while 3 dollars you would have to pay for the phone. BUT I would suggest you do this very very soon.! hope you go through with it and enjoy if you want to check out the evo 3d many top devs have moved and some will probally move sooner or later just about the funds.
https://secure2.sprintbuyback.com/c...onid=2BEA87BD9605B2DCB255C5F7903FCEE3.server1
let us know if you joned sprint back here in the evo forums hope this helps you out man!
(ps if you are a member of a credit union or AAA ask if they have any eligble discounts or for your work to reduce your bill)
Spend the extra money and buy the 3D. You will thank yourself in the long run.
So I hear Sprint's network kinda blows, any info on this?
I know it's no Verizon but is it acceptable, gets the job done or downright miserable like AT&T?
I think it gets the job done but it is depends on your area also. I can watch netflix and tether and i have no complaints about it.

If I end up getting an Evo off of Wirefly or Radioshack, is it safe to assume it'll be updated to 2.3 and not rootable for the time being?

If you get an evo with 2.2, you can use unrevoked, if 2.3, there is no root for it yet and you'll be stuck. As for CM7, everything thing works, except MIUI, because it has no 4G. And I thought I was Marino.

I think you shouldn't cancel your Verizon plan just yet, the EVO is a great device.and probably one of the phones to have a lot development going on , but Sprint network might not be your cup of tea , I love my EVO even tho I trade it around for some other phoned in the past lol , but Verizon kick ass out of Sprint in las Vegas , specially in 4G. You just might want to get a thunderbolt for Verizon on Craigslist just make sure to meet the dude at the Verizon store to make sure is clean

I would try and stay local man, if you can't drive to get it don't do it. No offense to anyone but I don't trust anyone on the internet and they shouldn't trust you.
As for activation, I was told that having CM on the phone can sometimes cause issues updating the PRL for the switch so you might have to odin it back to stock or flash a different ROM. I went to stock because I was worried about having it on a leaked build. However, with that said, the Evo I got was running a rom with a very custom boot animation (Fresh) and the rep mentioned how cool it looked and asked how he could get that.
yes.. I would stay local... for both party's saftey.
you can call it in to get it activated...
or you can do it online.. by creating an account with sprint.
from what I know.. I dont see why it would matter what ROM you might have on an EVO. the ESN is all that the carrier needs.

I live 2hrs south, I could buy it or trade my daughters curve and throw in some money. PM if your interested.

I thought we were able to stick with our upgrades man I might end up doing the same thing too, I want the nexus and I think it be out late April beginning of may, if the phone gets past the timeline it will interfire with evo 3D most likely June (iPhone face off ha ha) so I'm hoping is sooner then later I love my evo but the nexus s is really good looking device a bit smaller, better screen and hummingbird will be good for another year or so

If you pre order the nexus s won't you get it as upgrade price... Since you can't really pre order unless you are eligible for an upgrade?
This way you can lock in the price of nexus s, and use the upgrade before they take it away?

Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
This may be off topic, but I too fell into your situation and had to upgrade to my Evo before the April 1 deadline. I was able to jump in the best buy buyback program for free.
So this is what is spurring my question. When I look at what the retail price for phones on bb.com compared to sprint's retail prices, bestbuy is almost $100-200 more. (e.g. sprint Evo $450/ BB Evo $600) Has anyone tried to get them to pricematch sprint when buying a phone at retail price? If you go to bestbuy's pricematch policy the first FAQ is
"What is considered a local retail competitor? "
and the answer is ....
"A retail store located in the same market area as your local Best Buy store."
The reason I ask is this. On the same web page there is a link for a New York Price Match Class Action lawsuit about a similar situation where an individual bought a camera from Best Buy then found the same camera at a "local" camera retail shop for less and BB wouldn't price match it. And this individual one. (Reference the Decision and Order Document. The conclusion is on the bottom of page 31)
Note : There is more to the story, but this is what started the wheel turning in the lawsuit. I recommend reading that specific document thoroughly so you can see how scandalous retail can be.
I can understand not matching contract prices, although in the past they have for me. But in this case we are talking "retail" price. I have up til August to get 50% for my Evo ($300) and I was thinking for future sake how i would attack the upgrade. I could either do an ETF (about $180) and lose my mobile #, but pay contract price ,or I could just cash in the Evo for the program and buy phone at retail.
Has anyone had any experience with this situation with BB?
To the original poster...if you feel this may derail your thread, just PM me and I will remove it. Thought maybe this may bring some light for purchasing your next phone.
Sprint notified me via letter today that I would no longer have service after the 5th of July. I moved out of Sprint's service area around September of last year and knew this was coming eventually. I am actually shocked it took so long .
As sad as I am to leave Sprint and my Evo; I must move forward!
That being said, what phones are on the horizon? I will probably switch to Verizon because they still have unlimited data. I'm not adverse to prepaid as those services have come a long way in the last few years.
I am liking the Thunderbolt, as it is the most similar to our Evos.

Hey dudes. Well, getting the itch for something new. After having my Epic 4g for over a year (and the fact I'm a phone whore) thinking of switching from crapola Sprint to Verizon. Network has been crappy to say the least in the last months. I've tried a multitude of roms, themes, but can't seem to shake it. Be that as it may, anybody in the same boat?
Any suggestions on what to get? I've been seeing the Prime talk and all, but who knows how long that will be before it comes out. I was looking at the Bionic, being that I can't upgrade to the Epic Touch, and again the crappy Sprint network. Any other suggestions?

I looked at reviews on the Stratosphere, but it's not looking to "Next Gen" Best Buy told me that they would match the price of one I saw on Amazon Wireless at 130, so I can't wait for payday

hi all. last night i flashed cm10 (epinter). loved it for an alpha. but than today i went to the mall cause my wife wanted to buy some stuff, meanwhile i passed my time to bestbuy mobile. she was eligible for an upgrade device. and i discovered that i could trade my beloved atrix 4g for a value of 150$. long story short I added 50$ (+36$ activation fee for att suckers) and ended up with the SGS3. bigger and better finally true.
almost a year with atrix 4g have been amazing. would never forget the first bootloader unlock, the first cm7 flash, the first miui emotions... cm9 and cm10 last night. thank you very much all the developers and testers all the community.
specially many thanks to cyanogen and the team, turl, stevendeb, epinter. thank you guys.
keep up the good work.
150? I know what I'm doing tomorrow

If we don't get ics, then this is the first thing I'm doing tomorrow.

You're gonna love the GS3. I upgraded about 3 weeks ago. Screen, speed, and ICS are awesome. Touchwiz is also much better than Motoblur (although I've already started using Nova as my launcher).
That said, my daughter is loving the Atrix and lapdock that I handed down to her. Such an awesome phone that I couldn't part with it as long as someone in my family could use it.
There are a few areas however that the Atrix still beats the GS3. The Atrix bluetooth radio is better. Hooks up faster to my car, and has significantly better range with my headphones at the gym. The cell radio on my GS3 also flips between 3G and Edge more than the Atrix did (sorry, no LTE in my area yet). Also, I'm sad to say that the Atrix has better battery life too.
So, bottom line is that the GS3 is an awesome phone (really love the camera too), but the Atrix still holds its own for an older phone. Gotta love all the choices we have with Android!

Our company has 4 atrix's... 2 are stock blur and 2 are ics/jb and afaik there are a lot less dropped calls/freezing/glitching on the stock blur roms than the experimental kangs. The only complaints with android 4 is the camera problems! I sure wish motorola would hurry up and release ICS or a lot more people are going to jump ship.
I know I'm eyeing the SGS3. Itis pretty much guaranteed to get updated CM builds., I don't give two craps about Touchwiz, though. The only thing holding me back is that, specs wise, it's not a huge upgrade from the Atrix. So I keep thinking it's probably not worth the upgrade cost.

The GS3 is too big for my liking. Even my SGSII I wish would have a smaller form factor sometimes as well. Atrix with a TPU Case IMO is the perfect size for a cell phone.
If the next Nexus phone has the same size as the Atrix, plus had MicroSD support. Oh man... Yeah that would hold me over for a LONNNNNG time...

Will they just take any atrix? Even one with cm9 and stuff, or would I need to flashback first?

Yea, did you have to buy a phone from them for them to buy yours? Could anybody just walk in and sell them an Atrix for 150 outright?
I'm gonna give att a call tomorrow and see what they say about this. Hopefully I can trade mine with a skyrocket without giving them any extra money.

I'm using my atrix on AT&T right now without a data plan. Unless they just did a straight swap on phones (kind of like what Microsoft did with their promotion a little while ago), I'm guessing I can't do this.
You can always sell on eBay or Amazon. That'll net more than a bestbuy trade in

How do you not have at least the minimum data plan? I dont use any data each month (all wifi) but still have to pay them for it.

Bhavin above said hes on att with no data plan
And on another note, the atrix is by far the "crappiest" phone on the market. You're obviously not familiar with the Motorola flipside that att STILL sells but can't even get a proper recovery and is forced to stay completely stock, although rooted, if you want a proper working phone.

when i went to bestbuy mobile i had jellybean (epinter) rooted and bootloader unlocked. they couldn't believe their eyes.
i asked them if there will be any difference if the atrix was unlocked. they said NO!
I must say that I actually bought the atrix from them, so they searched for the receipt on their system and found it.
dont know if atrix 4g bought elsewhere can be trade in on bestbuy mobile.

Were you elegible for an upgrade? Can anyone randomly walk in with an atrix and walk out with any phone?
Sent from my Nexus 7 CM10
No parting
I dont think I will be changing to any other phones mainly because of the fingerpring scanner. Its the best and unique feature. Since I have had it, its fast and easy login. If the Atrix 3 the fingerprint scanner, than I might be next..
