    Can I flash my MetroPCS Huawei Ascend to Boost CDMA?

    I was wondering if I could flash my CDMA Huawei Ascend to either Boost or Virgin. I've had boost (8330 curve) in the Dallas area and never had a problem with talk/text or 3G. Is this possible?

    Thanks for the response, but could you explain why it's not?

    Because the ESN/MEID of your phone is not allowed on the system.

    Lets just pretend

    Lets just say that Boost did a flash similar to the metroflash on the phone and the esn/meid was good would it be possible to reflash it myself and root the phone and still have it be on the Boost / metro networks?

    No because the ESN of the Ascend is not valid on Boost.
