To use any sprint phone on boost, other then the few older non androids that are in boost esn database, you need to start with a donor phone that is already boost branded.
I could really use some help getting my evo to boost. I've pieced together all the necessary steps as far as I know and I can't get activated. I get an error 1016 and account can not be authenticated.

lol, nice thanks for marking me.Bam, and then sprint knows what you are doing when they have to fix your error 16. They can't/aren't doing anything about it yet, but I am glad that I know I'm not on that list so no possible future repercussions. Just saying........

Did you have mobile service after root, before u flashed Rom.
My guess is you lost your AA and HA
Keys, this could happen if wiped system before u flashed a Rom. If you made a backup of your system I might be able to get it back

yeah well thats a problem.I know those keys are for data 3g, but im pretty sure if you know your msl keys and you go into ##your_msl_number_here# edit mode
and enter your msid, and phone number that might get you back up and running as far as phone service. and im pretty sure ##data# you can edit other stuff in there you may have wiped out.
Did u get it squared away

Are you sure it isn't error 16? That is what it sounds like. Does it say that at the end of a message when you try to make a call? If so you need to log into your boost acct online and swap out handsets then swap back and that will clear the error 16. If you do not have an extra boost phone PM me and I will help you do it.
Hope this helps and good luck!
lol ah well glad it worked out for you, thats why I stick to my own roms, I know there boost friendly to.no still have no service i was able to change the number but i was able to get my msid from boost and still same issue
update and its what we call in the computer tech field a id10t error but in my defense who would of thought a battery cover made a difference well it does when your phone wont activate unless it has the back cover on it due to the 2 metal prongs on the cover the connect to the antenna to complete activation so after putting that on and changing my msid and number in the phone all is now working perfectly my lovely rooted heavenly rom htc is finally free
You were a big help I will donate to the cause on pay day and i would love to learn more about rooting and the capabilities i have so ill be trolling the forums and asking questions but i owe you my phone is my life since i do business over itlol ah well glad it worked out for you, thats why I stick to my own roms, I know there boost friendly to.
enjoy

I'm pretty sure It's a 1016 that comes up when trying to text or update profile and prl. The voice when placing a call says can't be authenticated and doesn't send me to a boost rep. Is there a certain Rom that works best to get things going ? I'm running midnight 1.5.3 right now.
yeah you need to have correct epst.apk for the dialer codes to work thats correct.Stock rom with dialer codes, works the easiest. but any rom that includes the dialer codes should work.
check your meid make sure its exactly what the donor's is. if possible go to boost website and update handset, change to a different esn, even a none working phone. just as long as the esn is valid. 5 mins is usually good enough, put your donors esn back in. This will allow the system to refresh/reset.
At that point try the ##768#, reset then cancel the activation and put in the correct profile 0 info and reboot let it activate.
