Thank you for the response Mr. Hathaway...

That's too bad... Boost is really big where I am and the only remaining prepaid carrier that offers a truly unlimited plan.
Even though their data performance leaves much to be desired.


Since that is out, I am wondering if you might be kind enough to help me in my quest for knowledge in another area?

I have searched but can not find information suitable for me to understand.

At present I am seeking to gain an understanding into the application of AAA and HA keys.

What I mean specifically is, as an example, the guys selling dead ----- phones on eBay with good ESN's.

If you use just a good (you have and own a dead ----- phone) ESN and MEID, how is the data packets
authorised on flashed phones?

Where do the AAA and HA keys come from to program the phone? I was told from someone that Boost
is the ONLY carrier that does NOT push AAA and HA keys to the phone on activation. Any truth to this?
(I know you said that you do not work with Boost but I thought you might still know)

Would I just pull the keys from the phone to be flashed and use them? That would mean that I would
just flash the phone as normal with appropriate carrier data and activate?


I'm not even sure that I am conveying my lack of understating correctly but please note that any advice,
tips or knowledge you would be kind enough to share about AAA and HA keys would greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and consideration,
John
