I see quite a few evo with bad esn. Can I pick one of these up and activate it? Can I do it by spoofing the evo into looking like my hero, I know 4g would not be a option if so?
Thanks
im not gunna be the last to say this but changing ESN is not a good idea. this thread should stop right here.

Oh, if there's a legality issue to it, I will not be messing with a damn thing like that! Thanks for letting me know!
Lol, yeah esn spoofing is a pretty big to do for whatever reason.
does anyone know hot to unlock a sprint cdma htc hero 200 to work in any carrier?
That's a forbidden jutsu.
there is no legal way to do it so thats why xda cant help sorry man.
As they said this is a big no-no. Please read the forum rules.

Either pay to have someone do it or do a google search. It's not that hard to do it, but we can not discuss how to do it on XDA.

I don't believe it is illegal to unlock a Sprint phone to work on another carrier per se. It would depend on the carrier. For example, my carrier, while not promoting it, does not discourage the unlocking of Sprint or Verizon phones for use on their network. Several of their authorized repesentatives will do it for $40-$50. They advertise on Craigs List.
Now it is a different matter to mess with an ESN, or unlock a non-sprint phone for use on Sprint. But unlocking in and of itself is not illegal.

I agree with the rest of these guys but I've been on both sides of the river with a T-Mobile G1 GSM(Global System for Mobile Communications)which use SIM cards and now have an HTC Hero200 CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access) which DO NOT use SIM cards. As far as I've ever know or researched,only GSM phones could be unlocked directly from the manufacturer. I could be wrong but I'm not sure,just giving my .002. When I use to have my G1 through T-Mo,I was leaving for the U.S.Army to go to Kuwait,I called T-MO and told them I need the unlock code and that I'm traveling overseas for the U.S.Military and they gladly gave me the unlock code. I had to insert an AT&T SIM card into the phone and then it brought up the screen to enter the unlock code. Once that code was entered,the phone was unlocked to use around the world.It would run on the networks from other countries but not pick up great signal,that all depends on what frequencies the phone runs on. As far as unlocking a CDMA phone I've never heard of it being done but I could be wrong. If it is possible I don't know how. It IS NOT illegal to give info on unlocking phones though, here in the U.S. we have a great thing called FREEDOM OF SPEECH and FREEDOM of INFORMATION. Wish people would remember that instead of saying they can't talk about it,they can talk about whatever they want,it's in the Dec.of Independence,Bill of Rights,etc. That's coming from a U.S.Army soldier. I know the laws,I deal with JAG. Hope you find this info interesting,but sorry I could not help you!
Yea but here on xda we have a thing called rules. The army has them as well.

Not real sure if actual freedom of speech applies to a privately held website.

Indeed, you can give whatever info you want as long as you're prepared to suffer whatever consequences happen to befall you. In any event, we're off topic now.

Both of you: I asked around a lot last week and I was told to go to a Corporate store because they are the only ones who can get into that part of the database and edit it. Apparently it costs some money, idk how much.
Thanks for the replys so far, but I have done all of the above as in so far as to go to the corp store and dial 611 and 228 infront of them, and hello hello hello lol played and nope will not add the esn from the phone in person or at the dealers(any corp or private). The only guy I found here where I live wants 90 bucks to add the esn :{ any other ideas I have a eris running fully flashed and loaded but its not doing it for me any more. Ok thanks for any ideas.

Well I suggest that you keep looking on craigslist or something because that seems like your only option now... or just save up an buy the LG Esteem... $350 but well worth it... epic phone. Good luck man :/
Hi AtmosFEAR I could get one of the esteem but I just looked here real quick and I didn't even see a sub-forum for them :{ whats up with that ? I went into the corp store again tonight and I got someone who said if the phone is flashed they could do it so dial 611 and they here metro so he takes the phone and goes to scan the esn and nope. Not flashed by Houdini so no work. Now can I go and buy that program and flash them my self and will it just add the esn for me into metros database or ? Because I would like to flash the phones also for cheaper then the guy here and make money my self :}. Ok any insite thanks for help

Like he said just get the Esteem, it's worth it and xda will soon, along with other forums & developers have a CM7 Rom for it soon enough. It's also supposed to get Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) so it's a good bet, I'll be getting mine this weekend

Now also does the esteem have root and all yet or what can we do with the phone out of the box as far as modding to to make it mine :}
Thanks guys
O just got done taling with my buddy in the revo irc (link in sig if you wanna talk to him)

Haro|Prime> O haha. I'm in the app can't see dates. Also, spc how much dec work does the esteem have? Do you know? I know you are making a theme for them and they have cwm but that's about it.
<Haro|Prime> Dev *
<spc_hicks09_> mt just put out a rom for them, Gingersteem. they have 2 kernels, one that can oc to 1700 then ours (their version) that can oc to 1500. someone else made the one that can oc to 1700
<spc_hicks09_> i think that's about it
<Haro|Prime> OK thanks. Guy in the DROID forums is trying to get the DROID on metro and someone entwined the esteem. I told him I would get dev info since I guess they don't have a forum yet
<spc_hicks09_> oh ok, yeah they got about as much going on as we do lol

Like I said ^^^^up there. Just come on over to the Revo IRC and you can talk to someone more knowledgable then me. mt is mtmichaelson and he is in there but not talking at the moment idk if he will be on at all tonight but he is on a lot so you might get a chance to talk to him about the ROM and kernels and such. Hope I helped
Thanks again and i will hop on the irc a little later night time soon here. and maybe i will sell the droid and the eris and get the esteem sooner but i would have to just flash the prl for verizon back and sell the eris to some one for what flashed to metro already and i can hook them up with mms and the net with it. i just dont know how much the 2 would be worth

Depends on who you ask. Personally I will never get rid of my og droid I adore that phone. It popped my android/smart phone cherry and is just a brick of a device. Just will not die. I have dropped/thrown that phone so many times and it just comes back for more lol

Obviously no one wants to be involved in this thread so please stop bumping it. As stated before bad ESN phones are generally either lost or stolen.
Sorry to disrupt the bump party but, let's keep discussion of blacklisted devices off XDA. It seems you answered your own question in the OP anyway.
