  • I have zeroed out meid and esn and read meid and esn and it worked. However, when i try to write meid i get an error saying "Error response received from target". What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciatedx10!!! Thank you.

  • There's nothing illegal in possession the tools mentioned here. And the whole process no more illegal than flashing your own ROM if it's done with phones you physically possess.

  • THIS METHOD IS AGAINST UNITED STATES FEDERAL LAW....IT IS CALLED HANDSET CLONING.... IF YOU FOLLOW THIS METHOD SPRINT NEXTEL CORP. AKA THE OWNER OF BOOST WILL CATCH ON AND YOU MAY BE SUED AND COULD RECEIVE A RATHER LONG FEDERAL SENTENCE.

  • @peryuta ?

  • @addicted2money615 what method is legal to use a boost mobile service on a sprint phone

  • @chrisprattmt if you follow this method you are changing the SPRINT DEVICES MEID AKA THE SERIAL NUMBER **THIS IS THE ILLEGAL PART IT IS CALLED CLONING REFER TO THE FCC AND THE Wireless Telephone Protection Act of 1998.USING A SPRINT PHONE ON BOOST IS NOT ILLEGAL IF YOU GET THEM TO ACTIVACTE THE MEID THE PHONE MANUFACTURER PROGRAMMED INTO THE SPRINT PHONE. FURTHERMORE IT IS TECHNICALLY AGAINST THE LAW FOR YOUR COMMON PERSON TO POSSESS QXDM, DFS CDMA TOOLS, AND ANY OTHER SOFTWARE TO CHANGE AN MEID

  • @addicted2money615 thankyou sir :). ah. so changing the MEID is illegal. and also the use of the software to change the MEID by a consumer. but, if the carrier will accept the phone openly then its ok. am i right?

  • Good work. I follow all your step i got phone/text working with 3g but no mms and internet. I try everything again again but i don't know what i am doing wrong.please SOME ONE CAN HELP ME Thanks. SAMSUNG EPIC TOUCH S2

  • Hi. I have the new Galaxy S2 Touch. My phone I want to use as a Donor is the Epic 4G...

    which was clowned from my old Incognito. Is it the same process to Flash my Epic 4g

    to My Epic touch, as was the Incognito to the Epic 4g? or do I need some different STEPS

    or Drivers???

    Thanks.

  • How do I tmyphone to even register that its hookedup to a computer it does nothing am I missing something? MY donor phone that is.

  • can u use a mirro to flash to boost

  • How do you do this for Virgin Mobile?

  • i fixed it! ok so after you do that error 16 will come up on phone.

    then you should let it repeat itself untill your transfered to a tech support person from boost (dont worry NOT sprint) and they will help you step by step.

  • someone please tell me how to get rid of Eror 16!

  • oops.... it only fixed 3g

  • i fixed it! it works!

    ok follow all the steps and when you done go back to writing nvitems to phone on cdma workshop. when it propmts to keep setting press ok. the phone will reset and do OTA activation, be patient then you get the green light. you should also wait for the updates and stuff because those are important and whaever you do do NOT tamper with the phone while it updates!

  • I am not even getting the port numbers when I plug either my epic or the incognito. I installed my epic driver and I think the incognito driver too. I say I think because once i hook it up to my pc through USB, when I go to Tools and hit "Connect to PC" I can browse my phone on my PC. Same thing for epic. I click "Connect USB" and it appears on my Explorer. However, my device manager shows neither ports so I'm completely stuck. Please help.

  • i cannot connect my com port in the target port in qxdm, there are no ports listed... only says disconnect.i can only find my com port in the gps server port. why??? ive done soo good so far now this..PLEASE HELP!!

  • @SuperSilvermaster i got it working... the only thing now is that i have no 3g!!! anyone know any good directions for getting the 3g working? i do have service in my area too by the way.... if my epic is turned off can i turn my incognito back on if i have to?? thanks

  • Please help!

    I followed your instructions, I have 3G working great, wifi works great also, I have sr1final on it, I have not been able to get to text nor voice to work, i guess this phone is not activated, i only got the OTA Activation once and I cancelled to make sure I had 3g, but it never came back. I did factory reset twice and same thing. Any ideas?

  • @yumaxbox I sent you a message. Hope that helps! Good Luck!!

  • My flash worked on my epic but I now have no 3G data. phone keeps giving me a sprint error message.. invalid user. no going to boost for the data? ideas?

  • I want to thank UGC for this video, although it's missing certain things but easy to figure out. Also I wanted to thank xcollazo89 for helping me out and getting my Epic working 100%!! I now have a full working Epic on Boost Mobile!!!

  • Got the fix for the "Error 16" message. Anyone who needs it, shoot me a message. It just worked for me, so it should definitely work. Would have pasted it here, but it was too many characters and, so I couldnt.

  • @xcollazo89 hey man i need the Error 16 fix

  • @xcollazo89

    i need your help OTA isnt working and i think i screwed up my phone please help.

  • @smackthedevil17

    i'm also getting error #16

  • Used this guide, followed everything step by step, and now I got the whole "Error 16" thing. Damnit

  • @xcollazo89

    Same here. I will continue to try. Please let us all know if you got it to work and how. I will do the same.

  • @Aflores140 ... I am having the same problem... Followed it step-by-step even reset the phone, retried a few times. I must be doing something wrong, idk.

  • @DJLarBear

    After several of retries and resets and so on....I finally got passed the activation process. My internet is working but Voice and text is not. When I try to make a call, I get "Error Number 16....." Texting just fails to send. I wish I knew what I'm doing wrong, or if there are steps needed to be done that I did not do since the video failed to indicate certain steps needed to follow but I figured them out myself.

  • I followed the instructions completely. Got the 3G icon as well. However, I cant get passed the activation process. Without the activation, I cant use the phone at all. It tells me "Your activation could not be completed. Please try again later. If the problem persists, you may need to contact Customer Service". How can I fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • @aflores140

  • YOU MUCH HAVE QPST AND QXDM OPEN AT THE SAME TIME WITH THE PORTS CONFIGRED IN QPST CONFIG. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY FOR THE TARGET TO SHOW THE COM PORT YOUR PHONE IS CONNECTED TO IT. LIKE THIS POST SO EVERYONE CAN SEE IT. YOUR WELCOME.

  • @hishee1 Thanks I was going crazy trying to figure out what was wrong.

  • Comment removed

  • So if I follow this guide, I will get 3G on my Epic?

    Also, does the donor phone need to be already activated, or do I

    activate the Epic online afterward using the donor phone's information?

    -Thanks.

  • @mv829 since you got your epic on boost can you help me with mine? When I turn on my phone I get a sprint hands free activation, but after 5 minutes it says it can't be activated, what did you do to get it activated?

  • ok so after i wrote to phone and everything, rebooted my phone, i got the "welcome to sprint" but it said that my activation could not be completed, what do i do now?

  • WOO! never mind i fixed it i diddnt add my comport for my Epic in QPST

  • ok so im officially screwed, i think, when i put in the 16 code, it said it was correct but my SPC was 000000, i messed around with it and i "think" i changed the SPC to 123456 because it said "successfully changed SPC" so i think i dodge a bullet there BUT when i open QXDM, options, communications, all it says is DISCONNECT

    am i screwed? it will not show my COMPORT, but it shows up in the GPS Server Port

    can someone help?

  • @ToonSxO YOU NEED TO OPEN THE QPST CONFIGURATION and enable the port.

    

  • @dyc92 ... Hello there I am new to this site and would like some help. I recently installed QPST and I cannot get it to work when I connect my phone. It does not open the program. I think I may need to change my ports but I do not know how. Can you please lend a hand?

    Thanking you in advance.

  • @undergroundcentral does a hard reset effect the flash

  • no, the best donors are the incognito, the rant and the blackberries on boost, because they get 3g. if u use the mirro for example, ur gonna be stuck on 1x. even tho the epic or evo or watever ur flashing can get 3g, the system thinks ur using ur donor so itll olny send u wat ur donor can use.

  • @rosa2008pr ok i understand that its best to use the incognito or rant etc but if i jus for NOW want text in talk can i use a boost Sayo mirro as the donor phone

  • @gwinndontrell u could, but u cant use this guide using a mirro because the numbers used to get the nv items from the donor are for the incognito not the mirro, every know is different

  • will the boost samsung rant or sanyo juno work as donor phones?

  • @facebookwiz long as it's a CDMA you can use it as the donor phone.

  • What is the process for changing the phone number on the epic after I've followed your guide? I think I have to call in to request this so I just want to be prepared if they ask me to do anything on the phone to make the change.

  • How Do I find my 16 digit password for a sprint LG Optimus S, that is the only part im stuck on, I know my SPC, I dont know if that helps

  • go to xda forums. directions are in the epic 4g forum under android development. should be a thread on the first page. this is to get the data working only. any discussions about flashing to boost will get you llama'd.

  • Great video! Thank you!!!

    I need a little help though. I think I did everything right, but now I'm not getting a 3G icon (or data) but calls and texts work. Any help would be appreciated!

    And thanks again for sharing the info!!

  • I am looking for information on doing an evo 4g

  • I followed the video and after i wrote the NV items that I save from the dummy phone, the epic rebooted and now its stuck in airplane mode...no com ports...nothing

  • hey what's up. do u know how to flash htc evo to boost mobile?

  • If I get a cdma phone can i do my wifes phone also or will i have to get a seperate boost phone for her?

  • CAN I DO THIS WITH A SAMSUNG EPIC BUT INSTEAD OF BOOST MOBILE CAN I DO VIRGIN MOBILE? I HAVE A VIRGIN MOBILE LG RUMOR TOUCH FOR MY DONOR..WILL IT WORK?

  • Do i need a clean esn on my epic?

  • @freshkidnyc06 Yes you do.

  • HELLO, CAN YOU HELP ME OUT WITH MY EPIC, I CAN COMPENSATE. SAGGIT2@YAHOO.COM

  • awesome guide. im going to try this with my spare epic.

  • question my cousin found an epic phone and would like to flash it. his concern is weather it matters if the phone was reported lost or stolen would it still be able to be flash under that stauts???

  • @clue465 No he can flash it, the dummy phone needs a clean ESN that's all.

  • @undergroundcentral "No he can flash it, the dummy phone needs a clean ESN that's all."

    I have one with a bad ESN. Is it worthless, or is there some carrier that I can flash it to?

  • Hey, i really need to know... I wanted to unroot my phone so i could update my firmware to 2.2, would this reset my entire flashed phone? will i have to redo this entire process if i unroot my phone to update my firmware?? Thankxx -Mariahhh

  • @mrose61692 No the flash has nothing do with the firmware you can update as you please.

  • @mrose61692 YES JUST FLASH WITH ODIN...

  • can you use any boost phone as a doner, (an old school flip 4 example) or there is specific ones?

  • @cisroecisroe The phone has to be CDMA, the phone you have I think is iDEN.

  • for some reason i installed the drivers from samsung but i cant see the com ports... -___-

  • I looked on your blog but couldn't find your video on getting the EVO on boost

  • All the links to the files and drivers are on my page on my videos. No need to google for broken links.

  • Message me to get ur HTC EVO on boost mobile $50

  • everything workng now but ONE thing ... I CANT SEND MMS...... i can receive mms, i have 3g internet speed, gps working like a charm , no more error 67 ... but i cant send a danm pic ........ help? ...

  • @carsalbuja running oficcial froyo 2.2 by the way , cleaned asp mms i.p adress and i still dont get mms to work....

  • i have my HA and AAA matrix's on qxpd right in front of me but i dont understand how to read the HA one , does match . help please!!!

  • when i try to write 1192 and 1194 it said 0 byte loaded sucessfully

    any thing i can do??

  • @tipimambo : You didn't save the files correctly from your donor phone. Power off your Epic, power back up your donor phone and put it in flight mode as fast as you can for good measure, then resave the 1192 and 1194 files, then try again. You can open those NV files with wordpad so you can what they look like. They should all four look similar. In your case, the 1192 and 1194 are probably empty.

  • @johnnieboi1978 no the 16 digit security code is not the same as the epic if u haven't found it yet I can tell how to get it

  • @011jackson how do i find the 16 digit code for a IG optimus on sprint

  • @011jackson i need to know how to get the 16 digit code for my optimus s

  • Thanks a lot! You kinda directed me to mobile giles and in combination between that as few hex calculators and xda im fully functional! Error 67 was my bane, but I think you fixed that! Thanks again!

  • @johnnieboi1978 I actually got a blackberry curve for sprint off of ebay for like 6 bucks, then convinced boost to activate it, and finally got full 3g on my epic

  • Comment removed

  • Can someone give me a step by step instructions on how to put the htc evo on boost i am willing to pay

  • to everyoneoffering to pay... there are plenty of ppl you can send $100ish to flash your epic or evo to boost. honestly the epicis the better phone anyway. better screen (i said BETTER not bigger), best keyboard out, faster processor takes hdmi video also and WILL get froyo this month prolly. if not the froyo leak is pretty stable.

  • @ScottyDsntKnow yo you got your epic on boost? if you do when you buy apps does that affect your bill? and i ordered my epic on ebay and i want to clone my incognito esn over to my epic *or w.e this tut tells you to do* but i want to root it and load the viper rom, does loading roms fuck up your phone since its on boost? im so confused if you could help me that would be great

  • please do the evo it would be of great help to alot of people would appreciate it if not please help me help im willing to pay for help

  • do you have a guide for the sprint htc evo yet

  • where can i get the Cdma workshop?

  • last night I finally got 100% functionality from my epic on boost. you need an oldedr version of voicemail notifier which is on xda. mms is easy on both eclair and the froyo leak. nice to finally have it to where someone borrowing the phone would have no idea it is not on Sprint.

  • To everyone having issues with voicemail notification, download Voicemail Notifier from the market. Its no visual voicemail but you will know you received a message.

  • Good basic guide to get the Epic onto boost as far as the ESN/MEID etc... goes but bad as far as getting the data working. Also fails to mention a few minor steps but not too hard to figure out.

    Got the data working easily enough via instructions at a forum I belong to. You have to go back into QXDM and pull your AA/HAA profiles from both phones and then manually input them in QPST as well as match up your M.IP and PPP configs.

  • Respond to this video...  Hi, would you please give me the instructions on how to get the 3g data to work, or a link. I got the eipc 4g to work as far as making phone calls but not the 3g data. Would really appreciate our help. Thank you.

  • i can't get the QXDM to recognize the Epic.. what did you do to solve this. I even tried other versions and none work. I am using Vista business 32bit

  • @Lynch2800 Gotta add the port first in QPST or it won't see it in QXDM or CDMA. Either that or it is because you are using Vista. I tried to do mine on 7 and nothing would load up so I had to go over to my Parents' house to use their old Pentium 4 with XP SP3 lol.

  • @scottyd035ntknow : It works on Vista. You have to add the port in QPST. Those steps are left out of the tutorial writeup.

  • all the links are mess up bro :-(

  • how do you put An Evo on boost mobile...please

  • Very nice tutorial any idea when you're going to get that Evo tutorial going.

  • Hey, I have a Moto RZR as the donor. And i have a Samsung Fascinate with a bad ESN. They're both verizon phones. Now my problem is that the Moto wont boot up. Does it need to boot up? can i just get the ESN on the back of the phone?

    Thanks!

  • Will this work on a LG Ally?

  • HEY WOULD THIS GUIDE WORK ON THE HTC EVO AND YES GUYS THE MIRROR DOES NOT WORK ITS NOT 3G

  • Comment removed

  • The Driver that I found, that worked for me (Incognito and Juno) will only work on XP sp2 (min). Search for "SANYO USB Modem SY06 " .. The driver for the Epic 4G that was listed, worked without fail. *****THANK YOU U.G.C ********* for the tutorial. worked great. I did have to download another version of QZDM (ver 3.9.19) .. I sould mention that I was able to get a COM port with the JUNO, but did not use it as a donor.

  • I found the way to get iinternet working!!!! FINALLY see the 3G icon!

    Too much info to post here...if someone know where i can post it message me

  • @TheSPoTHNiC how did you get it to work? and does the android market work? if you where to buy an app would it show up on your bill? thnx man im so close to getting this phone put on my boost account

  • @ToonSxO...(or anyone else having problems) send me your email and i will send u the steps to get 3g and internet working

  • @TheSPoTHNiC hey whats up i have a samsung transform its already working on boost but the 3g or picture mail not working, hope you can help me

  • @ToonSxO .... The first time I completed (or so i thought) the process. I did not receive the 3g signal either. I went back with the Epic and reloaded the 4 files that I got from the donor phone. (465-466-etc.. ). After doing that, I closed the CDMA program which reset the phone ... BAM!!!!! 3G !!!!! ... but no Android Market place. Could not connect to Google servers ... I then reloaded the same 4 files and closed CDMA (resetting the phone) and ... BAM .. APPS available.

  • @por356s : I think you have to tell CDMA to reset the phone when it prompts you to do that when you close it down. The tutorial writeup doesn't mention that so if you don't do that at first I think the NV doesn't take effect. I had the same problem and followed your steps and BAM! I got the 3G icon, but still no internet.

  • @ToonSxO I can get the Sprint Football, Navigation, Nascar.... But not the TV or radio. But I don't really need that. One other issue that I am having is, I do not get voice mail notification since the phone is set up through sprint. ??? I check it manually every day. Everything else works !! YAAAA

  • @por356s glad u got your phone working.

    FYI...u can get Google Voice and theres an option for it to handle all your vm

  • Calls and sms text working...NO 3G, DATA, WEB! Please Help.

    Thanks

  • well look i have a lg optimus s for sprint iv done all the steps and i still can get the the data working all i have working is phone calls and sms i cant get data working what so ever i hd the 3g icon pop up then go away can you or anyone help plz

  • Same thing phone making calls without 3g yet, I've tried to update the profile but keep telling me connection error also I never saw the profile in 6:09 like that in mine was nothing in that line (M.IP line) and I'm sure I used 0 profile, I thing we just need the correct numbers on the user profile so we can activate the 3g on the phone..the question is who knows those numbers? or how to update the user profile 3g from the cdma workshop? thanks

  • Dude you're awesome I'm so happy that I can even donate you some money, you just avoid me the hassle to dhip my phone to Atlanta, Chicago, New york, Detroit or Miami and I did it Myself!!!!! I followed all the steps to the letter only thing I can't have the 3g activated I don't know why can you please help me??? Thanks Bro U R THE MAN!!!!!

  • I appreciate the video, but i need your help... i have a w385, its not 3g abile, but i have it on good authority that you can use this phone as a donor... any help is appreciated

  • What is the cheapest boost phone with 3g?

  • @sicfukc I've seen the sanyo incognito at Sams Club for $59

  • I am unable to find the Port Tree in my Device Manager, I have an HP TouchSmart 300. I tried to go to the BIOS and see if it was disabled but unable to find there either

  • @mrbndcksaint420 : I don't c what d HP Touchsmart 300 has 2 do w/anything, & nothing in the BIOS is going to help you (you don't need to go to the BIOS anymore, hardly ever, not since about 10 years ago). To get to device manager, right click "my computer" or "computer," go to "properties," then find "device manager." I thought the ports would always show, but I just checked mine and it's not there, but it is when I have the phone hooked up. Put your EPIC in ##8778# and maybe ports will appear.
