Does anyone know if the Moto xoom will be flashable to boost mobile or metro or cricket like how the samsung tab is
Great question. I don't know the answer but the question is can any Verizon 3G work on Sprint/Metro(same company). You don't want Cricket. My quick look makes me think the odd's aren't great. But I think the EVO was fully ported to MetroPCS.. so maybe.
I don't think a verizon phone can work on sprint and vice versa. If metro works on sprints networks then a sprint phone could be flashed to work on it. It has to do with the wireless technology in the device. Plus, even if it was the same, I doubt sprint would activate it.

I doubt it honestly
My research showed that in some markets Metro has a program in place for reprogramming Sprint and Verizon phones for use on their network. However, I suspect they won't do it for a product like the XOOM.
I hope that someone figures it out. I am partially hopeful, I just bought a 11,000mAh battery for my EVO so that I can tether for hours at a time. Testing it right now with everything turned on, streaming tversity video to the phone for hours and barely drained the external 30%.
I'm honestly fairly ignorant on the matter so if I sound stupid give me a pass..
But..
If the hardware could do it, isn't it 'just' a matter of which 'radio firmware' is being used? (with regards to porting to a different carrier)
Motorola Xoom
Hey everyone, hows it going. First I would like to thank everyone here for all your hard work on these new android devices and helping people like me figure out problems to how to get these devices working.
I just got back from the store where I picked up the new motorola xoom. I've noticed that its on verizons service, but would like to know if anyone can point me to the proper direction as to how I can get this device working on crickets network.
I have a droid x, droid 3 all working on cricket data, mms and all working. next task is to get this xoom working on crickets data... any idea's as to where I can start off...
I'm not finding any informaiton about this device at all for flashing. I found someone who claims that they can root there xoom, ... its a start, but not really wanting to do that without consulting the professionals first.
please note that this is not my first go around with custom roms or rooted gingerbread roms. also please note that I'm aware this rom is the hunnycomb rom.
any help is much appreciated .... sorry about the spelling and thanks for all your help in advanced.

If by the new Xoom you mean the XYboard, it is not yet rootable. The original Xoom is rootable and has a number of awesome roms and overclocking kernels. Take a look around the forum and you will see many wonderful things. I'm sorry that I can't help you with getting your Xoom to run on the cricket network...

I must have the original then, I just got finished rooting the xoom. I do have a Sim slot that has a clear card in in, just in front of the microSD slot that says "replace with 4G card after system update"
So seeing as how I got this tablet rooted.... lets see if I can get it working with data, .... any help is appreciated

No Problem.
HOW TO FLASH Fascinate to Straight Talk
OK I already see that I am gonna get blown up with PMs about flashing to Straight Talk and how I did it.
First you must have a Straight Talk phone of your own if not I can provide you one.
PM me for more details about that.
You are going to need the 16 digit password:
PM me for that as well.
Then you will have to the MEID and switch it to the Fascinate.
NOTE<<<<<YOU MUST THROW AWAY THE STRAIGHT TALK PHONE AS IT IS ILLEGAL TO HAVE 2 PHONES ACTIVE AT THE SAME TIME.>>>>>>
I am not responsible if you break the law. This is your warning. I flash phones for a living, MetroPCS, Boost Mobile, and Straight Talk, and this is how I keep my hands clean.
Then once you do that reboot the phone and dial *22890
Let the phone activate and reboot.
Once it reboots make a call to anyone. It should ask you to hit the number "1"
Do so and the call should go through
Then hang up and you should have working Data.
Nothing else test everything and don't forget to thank.
Enjoy!

So how on earth do you expect to make a phone call without actually being connected to something ? Without being connected to SOMETHING, then you're on your own, literally !
congratulations for making such a dumb thread as your first post without thinking a minute about it.

Congratulations on your first post. To appreciate your very useful post that can benefit the community, i have thanked your post. This is so that members can click on your profile, click on 'Find all thanked posts by betrayer0177 ' and view that wonderful post of yours. And oh yes, maybe you should start a new thread asking on 'How to make an Evo 3d from air'. Maybe your intelligence is spatial, so i will just describe how to make a call without a SIM. First, power up your phone(yes,in case u r asking-battery is needed),switch on your wifi(this is done via the touchscreen,not via some telepathic drugs) and install one of the apps in the link.(http://www.androidauthority.com/top-best-free-calls-android-phones-voip-19829/)...fiy,you have to download the app from the market.for example, for 'Fring',type in 'Fring' in the search bar using your hands,not your dickhead.Then install it. Use the app for your calls.And if you also dont have any wifi in your house,try to search for unsecured networks or tap on a public wifi.Good luck and once again, thank your for this excellent post.You have enlightened our day and wasted about 5mins of our lives.

Your best bet would be to pop into a T-Mobile store and ask for a Pay As You Go SIM to use with your phone. Use that to tide you over until you get your new phone.
Or use a landline!
Why not use snail mail?

well,i seriously admire you Dirk.Sorry for mine and a few others' damning posts,but clearly,this guy's request is like demanding a time travel machine.Its not possible in this world. He says he doesnt want to use any form of networks...wth!!...anw i helped by describing how to make free calls using wi-fi...if that doesnt cut it for him,i dont think anything will.but again, I hope he gets the point and uses something like Fring or a prepaid card.
As this has finally received a sensible answer....

Perhaps we should create a sticky regarding typical first steps most users might want to take?
Such as APN settiings, rooting, what NOT to do, etc?
My Gnote is comnig in the am. what are the first few things new GNote owners want to do? Maybe we could create a list, and if so, would it be the same as the SGS2?
Thanks,
Jason

I imagine it would be the same.
Only thing I can imagine different is,
If you are a lefty, you probably want to switch the stylus setting to left handed.

I am, and it runs on t-mobile just fine. on EDGE.
I just made another crazy long post regarding my attempt to turn on the 1700 band.
Short version - it didn't work, and it also stopped reading my sim card as well until I did a factory reset on my phone.

Man, that sucks. I've been waiting for this phone to come out for a while. Was hoping for it to work on tmobile. Hopefully samsung will come out with a version that can support tmobile 4g.
I've seen nothing to suggest they will release to the US market at all, and several things which say they won't. I wouldn't hold my breath on this one.

It should be fine just call sprint to see what u need to jump on intl lines and you may have to find .apk for the intl settings I don't think he added in on that ver. ?

Or do the international unlock yourself. Takes less than 5 mins (did it on 3 Sprint GS4s now) and buy a Sim that will work in Paris.

hmmm, do you have time to elaborate slightly...what are the benefits of unlocking myself...im down with that for sure, but would like to know what the advantage is to that, versus me finding the intl .apk and just calling sprint? thanks Daniel!

You get it done right away. As opposed opposed to Sprint who you have to be on the phone with for 20+ mins. And the ota unlock that they send doesn't always work. So you would have to call again for them to resend it.
