When I said the legality is questionable, I meant using ESN/MEID cloning to switch it to another CDMA carrier.
GSM SIM swapping between phones is completely legal, and done often.
[Q] How do I flash a Verizon HTC Rezound to straight talk.

How complicated are theses edits? I have no experience with doing build. My experience is strictly with rooting. I've rooted 2 Rezounds, a droid x2, LG Lucid, and my Nexus 7 (2012). Custom roms on the Nexus 7 and Rezound plus the Rezound is s-off.

He is hoping to get it working on straight talk this weekend. Is that possible and how much time will I need to dedicate to work with you on it? Thanks for all the quick replies and all the help. I really appreciate it.

That would be unbelievable awesome if we could do it Saturday night!!! Would it be faster on a Chromebook or a laptop? He has a Chromebook and I have a really slow laptop (Compaq Presario) Windows 7, 1 gig of ram with lots of programs the kids put on there that slow it down lol
I pm you. Thanks again

1Found this with the search function, it's from last year, not sure if it's still accurate.
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1975953&highlight=straight1"Flashing to Straight Talk" can vary, depending on how you want to go about it... Straight Talk has two types of service, CDMA and GSM, both of which will work on the Rezound to a varying degree.
The CDMA mode is as @mjones73 mentioned, and it required a donor phone to clone the ESN/MEID from to be activated. This will use Verizon service in 3G mode, which is kind of slow (about 600kbps in my area at best) but it will work. The practice of ESN cloning is... umm... questionable though technically possible.
The GSM mode requires a stockish global mode ROM, and a T-Mobile or AT&T SIM card from Straight Talk... Voice and SMS will work out of the box, MMS and data require a little tweaking. There are a few guides out there but @REV3NT3CH is working on a guide to get AT&T 4G on the Rezound... yes, I said 4G! I believe he also has/had 3G working on T-Mobile service with Straight Talk as well. Be patient, those guides will be coming soon, I know he is working on them and they should be ready soon.1
Sorry, I meant a phone with Straight Talk service using Verizon towers.

I'm actually working on a pure gsm kitkat for the rezound....i can also second that right now it doesnt work from straight flash....requires a few build.prop edits and to enter a special menu just to get calling and normal texting to work...data was hit or miss with the 4.4 on the main dev thread...i will also second that using a sim card for straight talk is much less of a hassle than actually flashing the carrier to your rezound and depending on the flash youll never be able to change your rom again without breaking the flash....i use their att version of their sim as tmobile has less likely of a chance to get 4g to ever work on the rezound.....i have gotten it to work with a certain model of their micro sim and sim adapter with a mass multitude of nv edits....1
no the highest you will get currently is 3g....however i am working on the NV edits (which is required to even get the 3g in the first place) to get full 4g which is only obtainable via the att micro sim and micro sim to normal sim adapter....also you will have to edit the apn settings to get data....same would go if you were to flash it....which just getting a sim is cheaper
