Well the thing with Boost is unlike Verizon they dont push data keys to the device upon activation the keys are programed into the phones at the factory and they never change. There are only a few phones that you can use that will give you real 3g with the sanyo incognito being the phone of choice.
The big issue with Boost is that if you want to seriously flash you have to have a lot of incognitos and they are not cheap (30 - 45 on ebay) and the big problem is that its hard to find quantity as wholesalers dont what to sell 20 or 50 they want to sell 5k at a time so you have to come with cash but wholesalers are the only ones you can get decent prices from.
So once you have the boost phone - however you get it - you simply activate it and then read all the keys off it just like you would with your Verizon fascinate after you activated it.
There are a lot of guides on this you can google but i hope this helps you understand whats happing a little better

alot of guides flashing to boost on google ive been searching for weeks with no luck,,,
Yea I am in the same boat, with the way verizon is now going what is the point in paying someone to flash it when you have to keep sending it back might be better just to do it yourself. I know there are some heavy hitters out there that make a living off this, so I think that this is why for the most part this is some what kept quite. Plus there is the actually cost of buying cdma workshop that seems to deture other but at the cost of the phone and software thats almost around what you pay someone...
Hopefully someone can bring some more light on these little guys

The little guy?
We remote flash these for 69.00 and that includes the boost 3g ..... which will cost the little guy 35.00 so the little guy spends another 40.00 with a big hitter! I don't think that is to much to ask to get it done right. I'm not the only one out there charging decent prices for flashing a lot of real flashers are but the guys who have been around a while have seen solutions shared to the "Little Guy" who then take our solutions and then turns around and claims we don't know what were doing and that they came up with the solution and are the real flashers!!!!!
Little guy!!!!
The little guys pay us to flash their mifis - guys who want to learn so they can become our compeditors ask us for solutions
Guys who develop this stuff spend a lot of time - Time = money
So if you want to know how to flash the mifis to boost spend the time or the money and once you do you won't be posting it for free either!
This solution is for sale - BECOME A PREMIUM MEMBER AND FIND IT or start development on it - start posting what you have done so far and what you think works and what you think dosnet work. Other developers are more inclined to point you in the right direction if they see an ongoing effort on your part. If your just waiting around for the solution to pop up that's realrly going to happen.

Hi elisa...Well the thing with Boost is unlike Verizon they dont push data keys to the device upon activation the keys are programed into the phones at the factory and they never change.

Couple of questions if I may please?
You say above that Boost does not push the data keys to the phone. You also mention that the preferred d phone is the incognito. I believe that both Sprint and Boost used the Incog. Are you saying that only the Boost Incog will have the preset Incog data keys?
If so, I just ordered a couple of Sprint Incogs to work with because you and others have recommended the Incog for flashing to Boost and did not mention that one would be preferred over the other. Where does that leave me with the Sprint version?
Pull the AAA and HA's off the Sprint unit and use them on the phone that is being flashed or what?
Thank you for your time,
John
