I was curious. Now that the evo has been rooted is it possible to somehow activate it on the sero plan?

No. Rooting a phone does not change how it shows up in Sprint's system. If it did, they would void your warranty because rooting is frowned upon by Sprint. That's why you have to put a stock ROM back on before taking it in for servicing.

What does rooting your phone got to do with sero? Once the system reads that esn number it will recognize that its an evo.

SERO is not possible on ANY Android. Root, unroot, downgrade, put new ROM on it, as long as phone's running Android, you are not putting it on SERO. Only exception is WinMo phones running Android port.

Basically, any new phone coming out will NOT work with SERO.

Think of it as owning a car, but changing a transmission from Automatic to Manual. It's still the same car as far as your insurance sees it.

It's illegal since it counts as fraud. Although it's stupid if you own both devices. And all these carriers should be prohibited from requiring special accounts for each specific device, especially if you purchase the device off contract.

It would have been legal is not for those ppl who tried to do scams by capturing people's ESN's and then cloning it and selling fraudulent phones..this is why it was made illegal...you'd have 50 phones all using 1 account...

The only legal way to do it is if you can convince an HTC employee to do it >.>

Explain bars and clubs. I can buy a 24 bottle case of beer for $25 in Costco, or I can pay $8 per bottle in a bar.

You have choice. Either do A or B. You cannot get B with same conditions as A in many cases.
