Possbile to use Droid X with Boost or Virgin? - Droid X General

Hey-
I am considering buying a Droid X used from Amazon. I want to use it with a prepaid plan from either Boost Mobile or Virgin Mobile. Is this possible? What other carriers beside Version can I use with the X. I know it's a CDMA phone so I won't be able to use it on AT&T or T-Mobile.
Thanks!

Can the DX be connected to CDMA WS or QPST? If so I may be able to help flash to Boost. I have flashed many other phones (including verizon phones) but have not done a DX yet personally.

If anyone could get this going, that would be great!

The Droid X cannot be flashed to GSM carriers such as ATT or T-Mobile.
However, the Droid X can be flashed to carriers such as Cricket via QPST and CDMA Workshop.
Edit: The Droid X also cannot be flashed to Sprint even though it is a CDMA carrier, they use conflicting radio hardware. So theoretically you could have voice and text, but not data.

Boost and Virgin are both CDMA carriers

Not possible! They use their own esn numbers.

It can, but you need to create a serial port for it using the program HW SERIAL PORT.

Bad idea. HW SERIAL PORT - is the hardest way. you just need to turn on the phone with camera button pressed and connect to PC. Then install the drivers from this topic for the device Diag Interface.

How long would it take for you to do it remotely to my DX and do it for BOOST

Sorry, but I live in Ukraine and in my country mobile operator is Intertelecom, CDMA UA, Peoplenet. And because of this I do not know what settings should be done for BOOS. I just described the way how easily connect your phone to the PC, to program the phone via QPST or CDMA Workshop.

I know all the needed boost settings, if you need help shoot me a pm

Those are CDMA providers. A GSM phone like the sensation is not compatible.

You aren't going to find a prepaid provider with a 10gb cap.
Red pocket (an AT&T MVNO) caps out at 1gb
H20 (another AT&T MVNO) offers 2gb
Straight talk (not an option for you...but, they also offer a T-Mobile BYOD SIM) that is more lenient on throttling than the,AT&T side.
There's Simple Mobile (T-Mobile MVNO), but they throttle as well and their speeds suck.
There's more that I haven't listed I'm sure but those are the ones I can name off the top of my head.
@Mr obvious: if switching phones was an option or, something he/she wanted to do don't you think they would've mentioned it.

It's Mr. Obvious! And he didn't say anything about switching phones or not. It's an option.

Well your user name fits.
I go by what people ask for/say in their posts/questions and don't assume that anything else is an option.
I wouldn't switch my phones to join a carrier. I'd just switch carriers. Which is EXACTLY what he was asking.

Not only is the TMO sim from ST more lenient than an AT&T-compatible sim, the speeds are much better. In fact, even on EDGE I get better speeds than when I had 3G with the AT&T card. With the re-farming of the 1900 PCS spectrum, I'll have HSPA on my non-AWS phones. A win-win in my book.

[Q] Verizon Nexus 4

Ok guys, I'm almost sure this has been asked before and if so just link me to the post because I cant find it. I currently have the HTC Rezound and am seriously considering a Nexus 4, I cant quite seem to find a definitive answer saying weather the nexus 4 works on Verizon and if so how well. I thought it would work fine just have to deal with HSPA+ instead of LTE, I do live in the US not Canada (lucky bastards) so yeah, Please any help would be greatly appreciated.
Verizon runs off CDMA and the N4 does not.

No, the Nexus 4 WILL NOT work on Verizon's network. The Nexus 4 is a GSM Sim required phone.

Just get the Droid DNA. Its as close as you can get to a Nexus 4. But you can wait for the next nexus device coming out later this year. Rumor has it that it will work on all major u.s carriers.

As far as I know, their is no restriction on devices with this plan. So you should be fine with the Nexus 4. AT&T would be another story.

Just activate the SIM with the Nexus 4 and when you have to pick a plan, just choose the 30 dollar one on the website. No voodoo or black magic needed, T-Mobile doesn't care if you use this plan with your Nexus.

Google Play N4

Can a Google play purchased N4 get black listed?
If so will it be on att and tmobile only or all gsm carriers?
And even if it did get blacklisted I can just get another motherboard and use that?

It would be blacklisted to whatever carrier that did it.

If I remember correctly, att and tmobile share the same database for blacklisting. Anyway, if it has a bad imei, it won't work in the usa, for all carriers.

It has a good imei I checked it and its unlocked.
If I buy it and the seller decides to report it stolen, can it still be used? The user said he has tmo on it, but bought the phone from Google. I'm on att, am I out of luck?
I don't plan on using it on att, its going to be used on Straight Talk

If you plan to use it on att, and he reports it stolen to tmobile then yeah, it won't work

How can a nexus 4 get blacklisted if it's from play store anyways? You pay full price for it so it's yours. I understand if it is from T-Mobile then it can get blacklisted if it paying it in payments.

no idea but i think it would too much work for Google to do that and I highly doubt they would bother with it. Just pray the person doesnt report it. If so, be ready to move to another country to make it work .
