i was thinking the same thing if u find out email me or pm me chumba8@gmail.com

Hopefully my experience will help you guys. When the palm pre first came out I picked one up and took on the task of getting it over to Verizon. The first hurdle was the software on the phone, had to unlock it, change the prl and edit some other nv-items.  The biggest hurdle is getting Verizon to add your MEID from the evo into their database, which is extremely difficult.  A social engineering task really.

I wasn't able to get them to add my MEID so I repaired my MEID if you know what that means.  It's nothing I'll speak of on here, but google it.  And that was how I got a palm pre on verizon, with a bit of spoofing.  There were still issues with data provisioning though.  Don't know if this would be easier with an android phone since the OS is easily masked. 

Can you elaborate as to why you won't speak of it here? Googling MEID it was pretty easy to find some examples of what's going on here. Is this information somehow gonna cause Verizon to bring the rain or something??? I don't know what you mean when you say repaired. Does that mean you replaced the MEID on said phone with an MEID from a "valid" verizon phone??? 

  any cs you call can submit a ticket to add the esn into the system you just have a good excuse or reason. when i switched from alltel to verizon they had problems putting my storm back into the system because i had it on alltel. So what imma try with the evo is telling them its a htc incredible that someone tried to put on cricket and that is probaly why the esn isnt showing in the system anymore. as far as programming your gonna need qpst and the spc code.

Not sure why we need someone from VZW to do anything. I activated 2 sprint Touch Pro's on verizon without talking to anyone. I loaded the proper PRL and made the necessary hacks, then used *228 to activate them. I couldn't activate through their website or with customer service, but *228 did not give me a single hiccup. What's different with the EVO?

Has there been any more info on this? I loaded a Verizon PRL on my EVO and was wanting to get the MEID added to the Verizon network. Thanks!

Here is where I got the PRL from:

What I ended up doing was calling up Sprint, getting the MSL.

1) Put that file on your SD Card (probably root)
2) Dial ##775#
3) When asked for the passcode put in the MSL number.
4) You will then be in a screen to update the PRL, after finding the PRL from the card, hit menu to commit the changes.

Your phone reboots, you are now on the Verizon Network. if you were to dial *228 you get verizon setup. the problem is that the MEID is not in the system you cannot activate the phone. Even with the supposed *228 option 3 does not work.

Which is why i'm looking for someone that can add a MEID to the system. If you know of someone that can, let me know.

bummer but it sounds like SOL for all those evo people... anyone wanna give it away :D j/k sucks the evo had to go to such a bad nw... at least from my experience in the south MS, AL, GA, SC, FL the Sprint service is spotty at best... Good luck gents I hope you all get it sorted I fear however you are as I said SOL... :(

you will probably need to do what a previous poster did - change your meid to one of say, you motorola droid. this way the esn is already in their system, and it will look like you are simply doing a service update to your phone.



Verizon recently changed their OTA options as well, just option 1 and 2 - no more 3 to switch phone. 1 also instructs you that your old phone MUST be off - however i have switched several phones with both of them being on so who knows.



in todays day and age, i wish anyone luck getting ahold of a verizon rep to add a non-verion esn to the database - just not worth it to blow your career, i know i wouldnt do it.



the much safer and worth while route is changing the devices esn to match an existing verizon phone - note that this is illegal and should only be swapped with an esn of a phone that YOU own. in doing this route, note that you actually must keep your other phone powered off at all times or verizon will probably be tipped off to two separate phones with the same esn trying to connect to different towers.



i wish you the best of luck! and i hope you are successful - if you get in a jam, a number to reference is 866-221-4096 - 1 for english, enter your phone number, 3 for data team. these guys should be the tier 2+ tech support and will most likely be the fastest way to someone who could force your non verizon esn through - especially if you threaten churn nonchalantly lol

Hopefully no one will get mad at this post but i had a couple questions and figured this is the best thread to ask them in.



What does DMD stand for?

Is there a high cost/long waiting period/ Some other siginificant reason why one would not submit the device for opendevice testing (which i thought was a fairly quick 3 weeks process) to get the EVO on the network. I mean from all the PR crap I read about verizon last year it sounds like as long as the device isnt malicious or in anyway harming the network and has the correct technology (which is 850/1900 CDMA-2000 1xRTT / EVDO) then it should pass right? 





Can people in the know shed light on these two points?
