For an HTC One V with Cricket (yes, because of budget issues). I still plan on keeping the EVO, and will even donate it to developers of needed. But my question is, besides the One V, what other HTC no-contract phones do you think I would enjoy after all my time with the supersonic? Something I can modify with OC and UV and sound mods. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated and again, hit me up if a dev needs a perfectly working EVO! Thanks.

You'd be better off getting a samsung device, less hassle to root and more development due to the easier rooting. Plus all the samsung devices are selling way more than htc now. Lots of ppl have come from the evolte to the sgs3 or note 2 from terrible reception and lte > 3g/wifi handoff issues where the data just drops out til a reboot.
I like to break stuff!
The cricket service on the 3vo is way better than sprint. My of evo gets 1.5 on 3g and the 3vo usually gat about 2.2 on 3g. Yes rooting is a pain but has gotten easier with a bootable CD ROM. Plus for around 100 for a used one with bad ESN how can you go wrong.

Good advice, I appreciate it. I ended up just flashing the EVO, but immediately afterwards I changed my number on their website and dialed *228 and let my phone reboot, now 3g internet doesn't work at all. Talk and text are fine.

I hope you flashed it yourself. When ever you change your number you have to open qpst and change it in there also to get you data to work. Now before you change anything you will want to make sure you read from the phone and then save that information on the pc. I normally call it whatever the old phone number was. Then you want to make sure you write down the IMSI_S number. It is in the cdma tab. Now go through the tabs and change all the old numbers to the new one. Then go back to the cdma tab and make sure the IMSI_S number is correct and then save that profile. Now write to your phone and once it reboots you will have data again.
I got a one v for my gf. its decent. screen is a little small and dont like the sealed battery. sound is good because of the beats audio. as far as rooting, not sure. she wont let me touch it

And no, I paid forty bucks to cricket to flash. And when I tried to go to a closer one to reflash they said I had to pay 20 bucks or go to the store I initially flashed at. How lame is that?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
Sure you can hit me up here or my email which would be a little quicker to get any extra help you need. I have flashed two evo's and a 3vo myself and helped out on many more. Plus my last girlfriend liked to change her number every few months so fixing that will be a snap.
Email address coming via pm in a few moments.
If you want to, you can keep using your EVO on Ting (a Sprint MVNO). Ting allows you to BYOD and I've brought two EVOs over without any problems. No overage penalties and refunds for what you don't use.
If you don't use tons of data (or are always within range of wifi), it can be very cheap. If you stream movies all day, it'll cost you an arm and a leg, though.
Think of it as the open-source carrier.

I actually was just on Ting, haha, they're good service but too expensive, I like unlimited data.
Yeah so reflashing with cricket to regain 3g and mms is a no go right now, cricket wants to charge me and I can't do that right now. I'll be sure to shoot you an email in my attempts to get my phone working again.

First off,id just like to say,that i own both phones here,And that the S4 is currently off conract.
To adhere to forum rules,i wont go into much detail,
but does anyone know where i can find a reasonable flashing guide for the S4?
I just dropped 108$ on the paid version of CDMA Workshop.
The Donor Phone Is A Samsung Rant.
Not asking for exact instructions,but if anyone could tell me where to look or advise me on the proper ways of going about it.
Ive spent the last 72 hours with about 5 hours of sleep in between trying to figure this out.

I recently had the same problem trying to get my sprint s4 to boost, I called about 4 boost mobile stores a lot of them said it cant be done but I did find one thatwas able tp help. I purchased a new plan with boost and ported my number over. They did a over the air flash through their customer service. They powered off the phone and after a few mins they turned it back on, it no longer had the sprint boot logo it was boost mobile and has been working fine ever since with full lte. Only thing you will need will be a sim card from sprint. if you still have the orginal sim card in it, it will work fine. Hope this helps....
Yeah i had my first s4 put over to boost back around the last of oct. just called gave the dec and it was put right on my account. Bought a black one called to take the white one off and add black one and was told i had to take it to a boost store. Told them that was bs as i did not have to do it with the first one, then she went ahead and put it on my account. As long as your phone has a clean esn it should be good to go.
I have got Sprint S4 and it is stuck on Hands free Activation. I don't have Sprint coverage here so how can I be able to activate this phone? I plan to unlock it and use it with another carrier.
Thanks.
In a another country, yes
In this country, no
If u don't have Sprint coverage there, go to somewhere you get coverage to activate it or call sprint they might give you an airrave

Thanks for the hint. Tried it by renaming activation.apk to activation.apk.bak but the "Hands free activation" still pops up on every boot. I don't get any signal even after unlocking.
to get signal you will need to program the phone.. and for that you can use DFS to input your CDMA network information manually...

I upgraded yesterday and noticed my husband's galaxy box said MF3 so I was looking pretty screwed for rooting/roms. Cue today when I notice that my box says MDL! I am filled with hope! Then I realize with dread that my phone made a crazy noise in the middle of the night and I half asleep hit update. Dreaded MF3 now. Ugh. I feel like the world's biggest idiot and I can't reverse.

Rooting is very different than jailbreaking and more user involved. Don't feel bad. You'll get it down and then you'll be an Android master.

Just say you have some issue with your WiFi and it's extremely weak at your house, but your husbands WiFi strength is full. Basically tell them you have a defective device. They should be able to exchange the phone for you without the restocking fee. If you're brave enough, ask kindly if you could get a phone with the MDL software. If they bring one out that is MF3, ask kindly if they can recheck.
Good luck!

Just use the tutorial that is located in the General section.
Root -> Custom recovery (I suggest CWM) -> Custom ROM.
If you use CASUAL to root, Loki and install TWRP after that is complete, download ROM Manager from the playstore and flash CWM. (I've been having boot issues with AOSP (CM10.1) and switching to CWM helped)
If you want a really simple ROM, I suggest CyanogenMod 10.1 RC2 (get.cm) or you could do NIGHTLIES. Up to you.
Glad you were able to get an MDL version!

A similar thing happened to me. Last night, I was told that there was definitely an update available and that it would come to my phone within the next few hours. It did, but I called AT&T this evening about Knox, and was told that the update has been pulled. According to the rep, they made a statement that "AT&T and Samsung have pulled the update and are looking into issue." They go on to mention Galaxy Gear support, call quality, but that is it. They mention nothing about Knox.

I just dialed 611 and got ahold of, I think her first name was Carol (she was American and spoke excellent English), just tell whoever answers that you want the firmware update that'll take your phone from 4.2.2 to 4.3. Whoever you talk to should understand that, if not, demand to talk to someone else or a supervisor.

Also there is no root or recovery if u are ok with this I will explain more if u need there are a few more steps to it..

Got a hold of ATT they said that they have stopped pushing it out because of too many issues it was causing on some GS4's. Said ATT wa working on a fix and it would be back on OTA as soon as possible so I guess its just sit tight and wait.

They had the same problem with the 4.3 S3 update. Maybe they will include the Profile creator (KNOX) app that they previously excluded when they restart the OTAs.
AT&T Update
I was right by an AT&T Store when reading this, and went in to ask for myself. (I have an S4.) And he said to be patient, and that he doesn't know when it will be available.

Classic "canned" response. It's a good bet the AT&T employee had no idea of what you were talking about.

There's a good chance that's the situation. Disappointing if so.

On the phone with Samsung now. I337 updates have stopped but he doesn't know why. At least I got the truth from Samsung instead of the fellow at AT&T who told me over and over that my phone is up to date and that my gs4 model doesn't get the 4.3 update. A$$clown.
