Nexus S on VM?

[dmillerw]

I may have a chance of getting a Nexus S, and I'm wondering if it's possible to be used on VM's network.

Is it?

Theoretically? Yes, if you have the CDMA version, plus a donate phone from VM. Will you want to do it? No. There have been a few people who have ported Evo 4G's to VM. They all said it was the most difficult thing they had ever done and all ripped their hair out at some point in time. Things like MMS and data would probably never work. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, it might have been only the Evo 4G and 1 other phone that could be ported.

Tl;Dr: No.

Tapatalk? from my Optimus V

Yes, it can be done.
Can it be done by you, and legally, that is a different story.

Even if you can find a guide, you are looking at a solid 25+ hours to do, if you are good. If you aren't good at Google and/or no guide, or fail to follow it precisely... Odds are all you will do is ruin a Nexus and possibly even lose your account. As mentioned you WILL be pulling your hair out, and MMS is always a fight every time you change roms... IF it works.



Bottom line is this, yeah you can do it, but you could get in trouble (legally), waste a lot of money, pull your hair out, and if you actually manage to do it, you will be stuck with a phone that will either not have mms or could be unstable and cannot be sold. Depending on the phone, you could also end up in jail over it.

This isn't like 2 years ago when there was little competition and the only decent phone VM had was the OV. You have some pretty decent choices now between carriers and phones, and that was the only reason to even bother tacking such a project. Save yourself the hassle and sell your phone, and either switch carriers or buy a One V or Evo V and be happy with your cheap bill. Both phones are awesome and the Evo V is even comparable to the Nexus.

I figured it'd be a chore, but I didn't think it'd be that difficult. Thanks for saving me from an idiotic decision.

It's easy to put the Optimus V on another carrier though....I helped some people get theirs on MetroPCS.
