Nope would not work. If you really want a evo and your friend will sell you his then you would not need to sign a two year contract. The two is only required for people who buy a new phone or upgrade there phone and do not wish to pay retail price

the thing is that sprint doesn't a have plan where some one can buy a phone at full price and use it on a month to month deal or do they and i just cant find in on there webpage like with Verizon i bought a droid when they first came out but paid full price but used it mouth to mouth does sprint have somethink like that
The Evo on metropcs works great for me for the $40 a month price, though you'll have to get the esn added through houdini in a non-official manner so to speak. Search craigslist and there'll be a ton of adds of people who can add the evo to the metropcs network.
Virgin does not allow flashed phones on their network (sprint). Now you can flash evo to verizon, cricket and metropc and other verizon based providers. Cricket is nice because for 55 you get android plan with everything unlimited and it runs on network that evo was designed for.
Nothing is impossible in our world.
Anyone out there dedicated and financially capable of trying? lol

You'd be wrong if you sincerely believed this.
Works with $25/month plan perfectly...
so if i went to the virgin mobile website and under swap phone.. i could enter the evo 4g serial number that it ask for.. it would transfer over to the evo 4g then ? i ask because i had a rumor touch and when i got the intercept i just clicked swap phone and enter my SN and went well with he transfer.. now i want to transfer the intercept to the evo 4g.
You had the Virgin Mobile Intercept though, not the Sprint one, right? It doesn't matter that they're technically the same network. They use different databases to check ESN numbers. You'd have to buy an Android phone from them (get the Optimus V, it's cheaper and better than the Intercept) and spoof the ESN of the Evo to match the other phone's. Make sure only one is turned on at a time though or the ESN will be banned, and since they'll have the same ESN neither will work!
Is it illegal? No. You're not scamming anyone. You'd still be paying the same amount of money. Plus, you own the original phone with the ESN you'd be copying, so it's not illegal.
I think I know what thread you are talking about, does data work on the phone as well as voice?
I've heard of people getting talk and text working but not data, so far with the evo.

You can find out what the data settings are on howareforums, in a thread called How To: Flash a phone to virgin mobile, but they won't tell you how to change an esn.
Some people thinks it's illegal to change esn # so we aren't allowed to tell how it's done on most forums.
If you look around online and youtube you can find out.
If you end up getting it working let us know.

Don't be afraid to go ahead and hit the thanks button
Also would you mind uploading your install zip for others to use so I don't have to build it.
edit: everyone say thanks to constrictor25 for putting this CM7 build together for you guys based on my tutorial.
CM7 for evo with working MMS: http://www.mediafire.com/?vovq9qtl3naa74z5
Extract the following files from your CM7 rom: apns-conf.xml, build.prop, and framework.jar. (winrar works well to extract and overwrite files in a flashable rom)
Well basically you need to open the apns-conf.xml file in notepad and overwrite the apn settings with these:
<apn type="mms" apn="0" mnc="490" mcc="311" carrier="Virgin Mobile US" mmsport="81" mmsproxy="205.239.233.136" mmsc="http://mmsc.vmobl.com:8088/mms?" port=""/>
Then change the build.prop, from:
CDMA_CARRIER_ALPHA := Sprint
CDMA_CARRIER_NUMERIC := 310120
To:
CDMA_CARRIER_ALPHA := Virgin_Mobile
CDMA_CARRIER_NUMERIC := 311490
Then open the framework.jar with winrar (found in system/framework). Remove the classes.dex and decompile (here is a link how to: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=709037)
Replace the cdmasmsdispatcher.smali with the one I will attach to this post.
Then recompile the classes.dex and replace it back in the framework.jar.
Overwrite the apns-conf.xml, build.prop, and framework.jar in the cm7 rom you will be flashing. Wipe system, cache, data, & dalvick cache (might want to back up as well to restore data ) and flash.
This should work with cm7, not sure about other roms.
No problem, glad I could help the community out. Like I posted above this, it should work for CM7. Not sure about other roms.3Patches and a rom
Flash these just like a rom (wipe Dalvik and cache at most).

Dark/Light1 Patch

This is based on AOKP but not identical. I have been having MMS issues (even with my OV), so I can't test it. It was a request, so here it is, it may or may not work.

Harmonia 2.06 for Evo4g on Virgin Mobile Rom
This is based on the CM 7.2.0 RC1. and seems to run well.

If you know Harmonia, you know what to expect from it. This is really just a private build for me/us, since it's patched for Virgin's mms.2I'm searching through several threads to try to piece together everything I need to add Evo to VM. Is there just one full tut from A-Z to help? I am working on rooting and unlocking now. But as far as CDMA workshop, FPS, QPST and others, which one is really needed?
I used Harmonia on my Optimus V, loved it but I'm kinda anti-stock ware look but it ran really smooth. I will try out the CM7 version for 4G when I get this phone set up, if ever.
You will probably need QPST/QXDM to write the MEID of the optimus to the EVO. And then you will probably need just DFS CDMA to read and write the old NAM and DATA values to the EVO. You might need LGNPST to unlock the Optimus for reading though.2
