OK, I think this is how this works, Boost Mobile towers send out a constant signal 24/7 which is why whenever you call them to set up your phone they always tell you to push ##72786# because this catches it. Paid CW is good I think that's all i used. Take your donor phone, Desire whatever, and read everything with CW and save the files. Then plug in your m8 to CW and write all of the Desire files to it. Also manually input any other info you have. If your service on the donor is already active (which it should be before you start any of this) turn off your desire at the same time you reboot your m8 (never have them on at the same time). When the m8 reboots dial ##72786#, if nothing happens call Boost and tell them your not getting any service for some reason. I think i had to also factory and network reset mine and just leave it on for a while. I think everything took me about 2 days and then when Boost Mobile's signal recognized it or caught it, they sent everything straight to the M8. BoostMobile ID app and everything it just started downloading like I had just activated a new phone and my Sprint M8 became a Boost Mobile one.

*Oh and try dfs cdma-tool if you need info you can't find with CW you can use the demo one.

Is there anyone that can help get my M8 back working on boost ? I did it once but recently it stopped working and I was going to flash again and the MEID isn't writing. So I see most of the info from the donor but not all and can't activate. Getting error 16.

    Error 16

    Okay so I did what you said, but now I'm getting a wicked error 16 message. Normally I would just stay on with customer service and they would have me power down the phone then turn it back on in a few minutes and the error would go away. This time that hasn't happened at all. I loaded a boost prl into the phone manually but I still haven't had any luck. You have any suggestions?


    Hi People some of you are having problems with error 16 from sprint or boost when you flash or reset a phone, well i have a direct number that you can call, but make sure you have the exact name on the account plus the phone that you are using he direct phone number is 1-877-492-9605... Don't forget to thanks for this research that will help anybody...... no one had this information?

    Does the m8 need to have the s - off in order to flash it? Mine is already rooted and unlocked, but having issues with w7 reading the port and cdma etc reading it. Firewater didn't work, any way to get the s - off without using sunshine?

    1. S-off is not required to flash it. Check your cable and drivers.
    2. As of now, if firewater is not working, sunshine is the method left.
