Dont know if this is true but read this On Craiglist in orlando can this be true?

didnt let me post link so I copy and pasted : REf .craigslist.org/mob/2989184840.html

and it said :

My phone has been ringing off the hook today.

Because all the internet was cut off on all these flashed phones. Well here is a news flash.

Metro sent out a memo to us last week. All phones that have been flashed by non official metro pcs stores are going to be dead in the water starting this week. That means if the esn in your settings does not match the back of your phone. It's a gonner.

If your flasher used whiterabbit.org or a metro spc code for your data..... done...

If you got flashed at cell bros. MAC Droid. Or any other non metro store who is not authorized done....

This was the first wave. Metro is building cases against stores that flash and are not metro pcs stores as well.

If you were flashed and your phone is not working. I would demand a refund I'm just saying its only fair.

If you want your internet back you have to come to a real metro store.

Boost mobile I hear is doing the same by sending authentication keys to the phone that change each day. Meaning flashed phones are dead.

Don't believe it Google it.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vyrus69:
If Metro is mad that people with flashed phones have full data and mms, then they are the only ones to blame since they offered the flashing service. Don't reel someone in with an offer and as soon as they come cut them off. That is really bad business practice, and what is pudding me off more is that the closest phone in their lineup to our phones specs is $200.

Good morning everyone,

Don't be alarmed, So what Metro is having some data outages? That does not mean were throwing off flash users without even letting them know. Maybe they are getting rid of houdini? That means no more new flashed users, But were already in their system. The Data averages are happening on all phones currently, Metro branded, and flashed, so I think this is all a big coincidence. Let's wait it out to find out what happens.

There's a lot more to it that setting that to auto for those of us in markets that aren't connecting. My how I wish it were that simple. I've cloned metro phones and tried a million different combinations of data settings. Different profiles different shared secret passwords and still nothing. As long as you have followed the guide in the op you will get 3g from first boot if you are in a 3g area. Also all roms made for a cdma phone are automatically set to cdma auto prl. Imo its more along the lines of metro putting there evdo connections out over 1700 mhz signal which sprint phones do not have radios to support. Browse the thread a little from pages 80-100 u.should be able to find a lot of the tests I have done with modifying apks from metro wildfire amongst a lot of other things.

Updating my PRL does absolutely nothing still getting 1X sppeds, is it just Metro?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revized:
After reading what people say here , I am sure no matter what area you are in if you have a flashed phone you will be only able to get 1x no matter what you do, until some figures out the real difference between metro branded phones, who knows they may be able to receive 3&4g based on their esn/meid whatever you want to call it now. I am in an area where anyone who has a official metro brand android phone paying whatever they charge for 3/4g speed they get it. Unless you are in the outer city limits where the coverage area is not 3/4g. I can sit here all day changing setting and prl's all day and remain on 1x, I am sure the flashed phones are just stuck on 1x like I said until someone either hacks or finds out the real way , then that would pave the way for flashed phones to get 3/4g. I see so many pages of people posting about it and others saying if you are in 3/4g area you will get it And I don't see anyone who has it. All evidence is that you can sit right next to a metro android phone and they will be at 3/4g and no matter what I do they have it and my flashed phone will not, I have tried droidx, HTC 4g, Droid milestone etc doesn't matter. I am not saying give up trying, it just the bottom line that we are not able. Until another way is Made known. I wonder if someone repaired an esn of a metro android phone to their flashed phone and checked that way what would happen. i bet a few Metro pcs employee that know why have read through this thread and chuckled more then once. :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gruvytune:
Not so!

I had mine flashed at a local place because I did not want to go through learning on my own. When all done I was running 3G on a Fascinate. Indicator showed 3G but was not really as fast as it could be (170kbs downloads). So, stupid me not knowing the ins and outs of flashing did a *228 and prl rolled back to 2044 and was stuck on 1x with speeds of 30kbs.

Being a Sunday could not reach the place that did my flash, so I called metro and they refreshed my phone. no change.

Then another sickeningly polite tech support people me that metropcs only offers 1x and 4g and nothing in between. That was pure ignorance. and then after a few minutes of just talking to her I was left with absolutely no data, no mms. Perhaps she cut me off completely from internet?

So I then using qpst tried every newer prl and cant even get back to internet.

No change. still no data.

Then called a real tech support person who nicely really tried to help me with some obvious intelligence. But I quickly realized another issue (I was ignorant of) the guy who flashed my phone put in an ESN of a different phone because in their system they could see I changed phones but they had my new phone listed as a Samsung Freedom, so obviously can't be listing a Verizon Fascinate in their system? At that point I thanked her and immediately got off the phone not wanting to incriminate myself I suppose?
