Ok this might be a stupid question but I had my Mogul flashed to Boost Unlimited. And I want to put the new 6.5 flash on my Mogul, but not know if one flash will mess with the other has stopped me from doing. So please tell me it will be safe because I don't think I can reflash back.:confused:

as long as its a 6.5 rom thats compatible with boost you should be fine. is there a 6.5 version of the rom you are running now?

i found the best results using a mogul on BOOST CDMA is to NOT FLASH TO BOOST (JUST FIND THE ROM YOU WANT HERE AND FLASH IT you will be better of as there was no boost mogul ever and you will run into programing problems see when i do my sprint phones on BOOST CDMA I NEVER FLASH THEM being that the boost is already sprint so when you enter the esn in the system they will know it's a SPRINT phone anyway the only problem you will have with the phone are picture mail and maybe the GPS and TV and thats only because the GPS&TV are postpaid so when you use them threw a BOOST CDMA HANDEST you are getting the service free but it is for a LIMITED TIME ONLY as they will find out sooner or later and then it just stops working but when you flash one of the many (dope ass custom roms from AMJ) all that will be remedy as you can get different GPS and TV also the picture mail can be fixed also as it is just setting that need to be tweeked by taking the settings out of a BOOST CDMA handset (i recomend the W385) thats what i use and my picture mail works perfected! anyway if you need help just ask

not exactly no trobles but thanks for mentioning me i appreiate it! and like i said i found it's best to leave it all sprint as the BOOST FLASH tweeks it to BAD most of the time you end up with TALK&TEXT ONLY!

well you got your work cut out for you as SPRINT will NOT PORT YOUR NUMBER DIRECTLY IN as they are trading you to there same service cheaper price so when you go to port your number in they will tell you it is not eligible to port in but i have a fix for everything (at LEAST for situation) now there is the easy way and there is the hard way 1(the hard way) is to port out to another company and when your number shows up as there's then port back in and Bada Bing Bada Bang you got your number/numbers (but remember this could take up to 10 days as sprint will not get off there KEISTER to RELEASE YOUR NUMBER (also depending on your number there is a 50% chance you can loose or at least thats what they like to tell me) ok the 2nd way is to go buy the WALKIE TALKIE iden service (get the cheapest ones i425=$29.00) DO NOT PUT THEM ON THE $50 unlimited plan JUST PUT A TEN DOLLAR CARD ON THEM AND USE FOR 2/3 DAYS AND THEN CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE and tell them your family does not like the service and ask them to migrate you over from IDEN(pre-paid nextel) to CDMA(pre-paid SPRINT)but this is costly although in the end you'll be paying 600 a year plus tax versus what your paying now also you can keep your TP and your mogul but the blackberry will have to go as only the talk and text will work the internet WILL NOT WORK as it runs on a different system


PS the 3rd and easiest way(sorry i forgot to mention) WOULD BE TO JUST SCRAP YOUR OLD NUMBERS and take the NEW NUMBERS and just let all your friends and family your number changed update your contacts your good!

BUT JUST A WORD FROM THE WISE YOU MUST LIVE IN ONE OF THE 13 STATES THAT BOOST SELLS THE BOOST CDMA SERVICE if not i can help you!
 
I am actually looking at switching over to Boost.....I need to go by one of their stores and find out if CDMA has hit my area yet or if it is still just IDEN..(I am in Denver)...I can be patient....Currently I am on Cricket and have been able to write a couple of ROMS etc for them for Mogul, but if i can get to "Sprint"/Boost service and NOT have to do all the work for the same functions, I am good with that!

thanks for all the insight SDWZ!!!!!!!!!!

there isnt a boost rom per say... you have to make changes to the way the phone is setup manually..... the best guy to talk to for that is sdwyz, honest guy and im sure he would do it for you for a small fee....

I'm almost ready. I just bought a Mogul on Ebay and I should be picking up my c290 on Nov. 1st. I'm currently using an i9 on Boost IDEN, so I'll be porting over my number to c290 and then about 10 days later I'll switch to the Mogul. I just need to figure out what ROM I'm going to run on the Mogul right now. Eye candy is cool, but I'm going to be using it for my Real Estate business, I'm hoping for heavy connectivity so I need a lot of push email, texting and flash internet stuff.


I'm thinking a really clean and stable 6.5 ROM that will hopefully allow some kind of GPS integration as well. Probably Skyfire will be the browser of choice, because my Multiple Listing Service requires login in a flash frame. The reason I leaned toward the Mogul was the IR port. I can open lockboxes with it and it saves me from carrying around a electronic key.


Any advice on settings or recommended ROMs?

I think I can flash this soon and play around with the phone before I activate service, right? Will the WiFi work without a phone plan?

As you can tell, I'm excited about this new tool slash toy.

And kaos rocks because I don't think he even has a Mogul anymore, but he keeps cooking some sweet ROMs for us poor folks. I was goofing off with the stock ROM today and it's really geared towards using the stylus. I'm looking forward to a more "finger friendly" GUI.

I'm already catching the disease. I'm dreaming of a Touch Pro2 ever since I saw you showing off Goku's RSS ROM. I don't feel I'm ready to drive that bad boy (and the wife will have a fit if I brick a phone that expensive!)

I don't think Boost wants to activate the newer smartphones. I've heard of a few people getting TP2s online, but so far no Palm Pres, no Heros, ect.

I'll learn the ropes with this Mogul and when I get some deals closing, I'll see if I can sneak the Touch Pro 2 past the wife.

do you live in DENVER if so boost cdma will work for you but you will have to give them a different address to get hooked up i can list all the states if you need but dont sweat it as the BOOST CDMA GETS COVERAGE WHEREVER SPRINT DOES AND THATS EVERYWHERE EXCEPT MONTANA & WYOMING so you just take the shit number there gonna give you like LA or Vegas and then you call back and hope they got a area code in your state and city ( they do but because of marketing issue with there parent company SPRINT) they cant give out certain area codes! thats why they only sell the BOOST CDMA in 13 states anyway if you need help let me know

Dude, that's just sick. So there isn't even a custom ROM for it yet? I don't know what the best deals are on it, I saw 1 that hadn't had a bid on Ebay for 250. I just think it's a bit borderline to have Boost connect that up. They don't seem to want the newest phones fully using their Sprint network.


Man, I would be LOVING that phone though....
