[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
really not sure what the best procedure is for getting your esn added to the DB.. i would think any 3rd party metro store would be able to add it into system... as well as some people on craigslist. just look for the cheapest option.

once your esn ins in the system.. you pick a plan.. program in your phone number and msid (##SPC#) as well as write a metro PRL to the phone... and thats it for working talk/text. thats the "basic flash" most people do. only thing you cant do yourself is add meid.

and then you will eventually program data. the steps for evo 3d should be very similar to epic. other than how to get the phones into DIAG mode.. what to manually add is the same across the board... tho your username/password will be unique to you. (ppp password is based off esn.. username will be based on phonenumber).

i believe metro has recently added 3G in SOME areas.. so theres a small chance youll have that. and as for 4G... see my epic 4g touch thread on how to edit wimax settings...

ive said enough.. you should be able to take it from here. :)

edit: as for being "stuck" with a custom metro rom.. youd have the option to reflash anything youd like.. but the custom metro settings would probably no longer work. it would suck to pay for a custom rom that you end up wanted to switch out anyway(since it wouldnt be updated like he rest of the roms). i say pay the $10.. 15..20.. whatever it is to have esn added to the system.. then do the rest yourself.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] raj7065:
If you search on ebay. There is a guy that can add your esn to metro for $25. Then you can flash your own custom rom, but you would have to setup your own data. If you search around, there are threads about how to setup data for metropcs around the web.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Godswrath:
Ran outta thanks, I'll get you tomorrow :P

I looked it up on ebay and there's only a couple up atm and they end up being a lot, ie the cheapest is $20 but then they charge $25 shipping lol <.<

Luckily, the local guy I found on Craigslist (there are actually a lot independent metro stores in the area advertising actually) will add ESN and get talk & text working for $35. So it's not a bad deal. From there I'll get the rest working myself.

Although I'm gonna ask him about his MMS method, if it involves a custom rom I have been contemplating getting it. I been researching and it looks like all I have to do is backup the custom rom with nandroid, and I can flash to whatever rom I want, then I can always revert to the custom rom if I really want MMS working again-- if I'm unable to get it working myself.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Godswrath:
My used Epic 4G Touch arrives in a few hours!

First thing I plan on doing is a full restore and then installing EL13+CWM. After this I'll get take it to the independent Metro store to get it flashed over to Metro. Then I'll make my first nandroid backup.

Question- By making the nandroid backup I can always revert back to the Metro data settings my guy configured, right? (In the case they get deleted through rom flashing).

Can I see all the settings he configured by reading the values set through CDMA Workshop? Would this include everything needed to make the phone fully functional on Metro again (outside of the possible custom rom to make MMS work)?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
nandroid wont restore data settings... but you wont need to as 3g data profiles(as well as talk/text) stick after new roms. only a ##786# full reset will wipe those settings.

you should be able to see most if not all settings with cdma ws/qpst service programming.

1. Phone number/msid has to be programmed.

2. Metro PRL Flashed

3. after step two you now have talk/text.

4. Program in 3G Profile 0/1.

5. Program PPP data profile.

6. Done. Only thing I skipped is MMS.. which will most likely be covered by a custom metro rom.. tho maybe you could take the mms ap out of the custom rom to use... but im just guessing at this point.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
You can change your meid. ##YOURMSL#
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
yes it is possible to change an meid... but i'm not sure why ##MSL# is mentioned... the two are not related.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Godswrath:
Hmmm... I'm stuck on this step :

USB Storage Mode is OFF - [Drag down the notification bar and tap on "USB Connected" - should be off by default]

When I click on USB Connected it just sends me back to Home. Any ideas?

(Step 1 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342728)

EDIT: figured it out, had to re-install drivers and change the default location to 32-bit

Nope, still no go... Hmm Maybe I'll uninstall drivers and reinstall them. Problem is my PC isn't recognizing phone as a drive, just a device.

Yeah I dunno, gonna give up installing EL13+CWM for now and go get it flashed.

I think the problem is, when I connect the device I get "Samsung Mobile MTP Device Failed"

I downloaded the Samsung USB/Android drivers [USB/Android] and have Kies installed (Kies can't even recognize it though).

Maybe you need USB debugging enabled by going to Settings > Applications > Development
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Godswrath:
Thanks, but no go. Have debugging checked. (I followed the tutorials to the letter)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
youre trying to root?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Godswrath:
I successfully rooted with the full restore, what I tried to do next was install EL13+CWM and I noticed 2 things:

1st) I can't get past this step: USB Storage Mode is OFF - [Drag down the notification bar and tap on "USB Connected" - should be off by default - pic] (ie when I tap on "USB Connected" it just takes me back to the home screen.

2nd) I continued with the tutorial since it says it should be set correctly as default, but then when the E4GT automated rooting package (not to root, but to install EL13+CWM) it hangs saying "Waiting for device to be connected"

When looking for an answer I discovered this:Why is the install stuck waiting for device to be connected? which gave me some ideas to try, although I've tried all of them to no avail.

I should note that when I go to start->run->devmgmt.msc this:

Android Phone
SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface

Modem
SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem

isn't listed there, like it says it should here.

I think I'm going to try to reinstall all the drivers again... Should I do this before or after connected the phone? (The first time I installed the USB/Android drivers from the tutorial before connecting my phone, but I notice after connecting the phone windows goes through the automated process of installing drivers)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Godswrath:

http://androidadvices.com/enable-usb-storage-android-devices/

It was so simple, lol... To my own defense this wasn't anywhere in the tutorials :P

Thanks again for the help guys :o

EDIT: Well, looks like my problem is still here, the E4GT automated rooting package still hangs searching for device to be connected.

EDIT #2: Omg... Finally figured it out. I thought debugging was enabled (it shows a freakin' check mark) but it has to be a green check mark apparently...

Weee installed CWM, now to create a nandroid and start flashing! ;) Think I'm going for Calkulin's rom with the ICS Theme
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Godswrath:
Another question!

Hey guys, question:

I got 2 E4GT's flashed over to MetroPCS, both are working fine, but one of them gives me this error on bootup:

Error 67: Registration failure. Your Sprint data service username
and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again.

Any ideas? Aside from the nuisance, it hasn't seemed to cause any hindrance to the features. The other phone has never given this error, though. Both are running on Calk's rom. Thx guys.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
if its only at bootup i wouldnt worry too much. its just the firmware trying to get a sprint connection and it failing.. since youre connected to metro. i would check ##data# > view > data profile/username.. compare whats listed for the one thats working to the one thats giving the error. are they both the same? if not, make them the same and perhaps you can avoid the error. if they are the same... its probably some little data setting somewhere that the phone doesnt like and likely not worth the hassle of poking at it more. like i first said.. the error at boot really isnt a huge deal. if it was a constant error that kept popping up then its something to look at.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbaybay:
Hey man, if you feel like it could you post a detailed tutorial of each step you took specifically for the E4GT > Metro? That'd be helpful for others trying to do this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Godswrath:
Thanks again, Autoprime. They are actually both @sprintpcs.com usernames, but the usernames aren't the same. I'm not with the 2nd phone at the moment, but when I get home I'll change it to the same username as mine and see if it removes the error. Thanks for the tip.

And yea, I know I'm being anal lol... If it were my phone I would live with it, but it's on my sisters, so wanna try to figure it out for her if I can.

I actually found a local guy on Craigslist to flash em over for me (he set em up fully functional minus MMS). BUT! You can check out this thread, I have heard other members were successful following this tutorial to set up their MetroPCS data on the E4GT:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1303507
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
if making them the same doesnt work... replace the sprint profile with the profile of your profile 0 username. which would be phonenumber@mymetropcs.com

im pretty sure youre seeing that error because the sprint username is still trying to connect and failing.

keep me posted!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Godswrath:
Dang, no go! I was optimistic it would work. First I tried the sprint username from the working phone, still got error on reboot, then I tried the 10digitphonenumber@mymetropcs.com and got the error on reboot again.

I wonder if it's something the MetroPCS guy programmed incorrectly? Maybe I can pass by and ask.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Isriam:
profile 0 is for cdma 1xrtt, profile 1 is for 3g. you'll need to make sure you have both set correctly.

flashing to any cdma provider is simple. put the esn on your account, put a prl on the phone, and program the phone with your MDN/MIN.

data is easy also, once you set profile 0 and 1, the only thing left is your MMS server id.

you can run any rom, any cwm, any kernel. your radio settings are kept seperate from any rom settings.

My quadrant standard is at 2800 (which is mos def not the highest score but its a legit 2800-2900) and my linpack is at 26.5 on average. And its a daily driver I save battery by using an app called 2x battery, it kills the data connection when the screen is off, it helps a little. I. Don't believe in profiles on voltage control or set cpu.

Hey,

I would personal wait right now the galaxy nexus is an amazing phone its going to have ICS and it will be one of the first phones on sprints new lte network, I am sold. But I would really just wait to see what this year has to offer phone wise before you get anything.

remember if you are a rooted user who likes flashing be sure to check an see what developer support is out there, the evo is one of the largest developer supported phones so if you switch there isnt going to be the same development and support in the community as that of the evo.

Good luck!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] webin:
The only one I know of so far it is Terminal IDE, but its definitely not the graphical development environment you are looking for. Its a text-based Unix/Linux shell that includes an android compiler for programs you write in a basic text editor. Download it and run through the usage tutorials, but then keep on looking and hoping. I'm right there with you.

I was planning on using the remote desktop application (splashtop hd I think) to remote into my development machine running Windows / Ubuntu to do some programming. I just picked up the Prime last night so I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
I'm able to deal with C, C++, Java,Perl, Python, and Ruby for general development on my system; haven't installed Haskell, SML, CLR/.NET, or lisp stuff yet but assume it'll work. I also have *most of the Android SDK running natively on my tablet but not working smoothly yet.

For on device Android dev, you should probably just look at the aforementioned Terminal IDE app.

You can also use SSH, Splashtop, VNC, RDP, or Telnet to use as a terminal. At work we usually use SSH to a development server even though we have powerful workstations, so I frequently use an Android ;).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] foboi1122:
Spidey how are you doing your C/C++/Python development on your prime? Are you just using the GCC compiler? or with an IDE? I'm quite interested
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dpwhitty11:
I write c++, and I use C4droid. It's in the market, and cost a couple bucks, but it works very well. It does c++ as well as c, possibly more but not sure.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
I use a Debian chroot and BTEP. I go in and use a tmux session (I compiled a modern version from source) and use VI IMproved; you need sth like dtatch, screen, or tmux, cuz BTEP doesn't always multitask well. Except for the chroot, this is how I do development on PC's as well and always have (Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Linux). IDE's like Visual Studio and Eclipse have little value to me, except for tools like Microsoft's tool chain (used by the VS IDE).

And yes, I do use GCC, usually. I should also try and rig a cross compiler to Linux/X86 and Linux/x86_64 sometime but I'm lazy. Ditto for CPython.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darth_suicune:
He's asking for something that can be used ON the prime, not a PC. It'd be really nice to have eclipse or anything similar available for using with the prime. Having at least the SDK would be of help.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
Unless Eclipse is tied to x86 to strongly, you should be able to run it on the prime, but via the VNC/X11 thing. A native one is not practical for a project that scale. Bigger still is the issue of local development: running X11/GUI apps locally for testing is not fun but at least Android stuff is possible.

This thread is also making me think of how many newbies I've seen that try to write the next MS Word or Quake using an IDE's builder tool, before they even grsdp the languages syntax :-/. Then get frustrated and either give up or continue to fail.

Android 2.33

Build 3.0.1.E.0.88

Verizon

Just got the phone a few days ago. I want uninstall all the preloaded games and remove the rest of the bloatware that I saw in another thread.

After removing the bloatware I want unroot and incase of OTA updates.

It's my first android phone and am pretty worried that I might brick the phone.

1- Which method do you recommend that I use to ROOT and Unroot with the 2.33 update?

2- I have a 32GB card on the way can I copy the contents of the 8GB card to the 32card with no repercussions?

Sorry for silly questions, it's my first new phone in 6 years and man Android is amazing. I wish NANOSTUDIO was available.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hogwarts:
Use cola rom if you want all the bloat and everything gone

cola is only 55 mb.

I would use Doomlords root tool that includes busy box

& yes you can just copy / paste the whole card contents. wont hurt a thing

Also you cant OTA update if you remove ANYTHING so just forget that idea.
