hi chris,i have an htc evo 4g and tried to flash it to cricket using all your steps but i was unsuccessful,the only thing i acomplished was getting the cricket 3g internet to work so now i managed to get the htc evo esn in the verizon database (friend) and he told me it was ready for activation but the catch is that the evo is not able to be programmed through 'over the air programming.' it has to be manually programmed,i figured using Qpst,i have the MIN and MDN that my friend gave me for Verizon,i just do not know what to put for the verizon password or the phrase after my phone number,i.e. "myphoneNumber@????????" for Qpst,please help,thanx
