I don't have metro but I would assume so. Might be risky though unless you can find the original metro stock ROM out there somewhere in case you brick it.

Is anybody else having random shut offs? I'm not talking about reboots, this is a full shut off. So far my avant has done it twice today.
[General Questions and Answers] JaCkO-MaYhEm:
Has anyone updated to G386TUVU1AOD7, and tried to use j03lpr86's tether fix?

Does it work?

I am only asking, because I'm thinking about flashing, but not if it cuts off my tether without a fix.
[General Questions and Answers] redsfan27:
Is this for T-Mobile? I've never had any issues with the stock tether app, which doesn't count towards my tether usage for some reason anyways.
[General Questions and Answers] JaCkO-MaYhEm:
I'm on Metro, but I've used a T-Mobile ROM before. Metro hasn't updated their firmware yet to allow for the proper use of VoLTE and Band 12.

Long Story, short version.

Backedup everything... duh.

Flashed to latest T-Mobile OTA for SM-G386T (I have MPCS SM-G386T1)

Newest baseband...

VoLTE enabled

Tether not working

Switched back to MPCS Stock ROM/Baseband

VoLTE not working

Tether Working

Oh, and of course MPCS support doesn't have a damn clue on what to do.

WiFi tether router is better. It's a paid app but it's well worth the 2.50 it costs. If you go to the avant root forum on android forums and find the thread called "avant free tethering" you will see instructions for setting it up in post#2

[General Questions and Answers] Bobby Tables:
Nice. I'm kind of on the fence about switching ROMs, though, because once in a blue moon I find Wi-Fi calling handy. But having alternate ROMs available is never a bad thing.
[General Questions and Answers] D-FUSE:
You could always use Google voice for WiFi calling
[General Questions and Answers] JaCkO-MaYhEm:
I USB tether to my router, and it gives everyone in my house internet access.

I called T-Mobile, they understood what I was talking about... go figure. They also said there was nothing they could do... and wouldn't even offer any advice. They said MPCS SHOULD have their own TECH support line... but they don't.

I called MPCS again today, to show a friend what I go through... I told him the first thing they're going to say is... "Let's do a network signal refresh."

Sure as sh--... that's exactly what they said... and he died laughing. I told MPCS if they don't pull their heads out of their a--es... I'm taking my business to T-Mobile, where I can get VoLTE all day... and not have to worry about my internet connection getting interrupted when I'm tethered.

I have a desktop, no wifi for it. I either tether directly to that, or my router. WiFi tether is of no use to me.
[General Questions and Answers] Masterchief87:
Yeah I guess tethering to a actual WiFi router is much better. I bet you get way better signal strength with that than you do with the weak a** WiFi hotspot.
[General Questions and Answers] JaCkO-MaYhEm:
Actually, I do. lol.

I use way less power doing so, the phone runs a LOT cooler, and charges at the same time.

The only down-side at the moment is... the lack of VoLTE... which is killing me. Everytime someone calls... my connection drops, I lag, etc... then I'm on 4G (HSDPA+) connection speed.

[General Questions and Answers] Top Nurse:
Where can I find the CM rom for the Avant Metro PCS?
[General Questions and Answers] JaCkO-MaYhEm:
Actually, MPCS, if you haven't noticed, runs off of T-Mobile's network, which has VoLTE.... so actually, any VoLTE capable device will do.
[General Questions and Answers] Masterchief87:
There is actually a system apk that has VoLTE in the name so the avant must be VoLTE capable. Its just a question of whether you have enabled VoLTE on your device and whether MetroPCS/T-Mobile supports VoLTE in your area.
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
The Avant is only $100 (new, not refurb) through the 20th. Makes me kinda wish I didn't just spend $70 on a GS4 and $30 on a new battery, case, and TGSPs. Obviously, the S4 is the better phone, but I still want to have a phone with band 12 when/if it ever comes to Tucson.
[General Questions and Answers] Bobby Tables:
The Avant is definitely VoLTE capable (even with the older ANK3 firmware). If you're in a VoLTE area and connected to LTE, it won't drop out of LTE during a call. It doesn't have Wi-Fi handoff capabilities, though - as far as I know, only the iPhone 6 and UMA-equipped Blackberry handsets have that.
[General Questions and Answers] JaCkO-MaYhEm:
MetroPCS' version of Avant does not go to VoLTE unless you're on the newest T-Mobile ROM... and with that, you can't tether. There's some bull**** in there that won't let you tether if you disable the security checks... idfk.

I have not yet tried the CM11 ROM, but I plan on doing that today.
[General Questions and Answers] Cobra11Murderer:
Watch out baseband has changed it might still not work as far as tethering is concerned
[General Questions and Answers] JaCkO-MaYhEm:
Yeah, I tried that one already. I have the SM-G386T1, MPCS version. T-Mobile's ROM would work perfectly if it weren't for the lack of being able to tether.

I'm just tired of calls interrupting my internet connection. lol.

Can I root the T-Mobile prepaid Galaxy Avant without a computer and just an app?

[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
Chainfire Auto-root trips the KNOX counter. I don't think another root method exists.

Nope.

[General Questions and Answers] DMedina559:

To my knowledge, no Samsung has a KNOX reset method. Just the earlier Triangle Away for older devices like the S3.
[General Questions and Answers] Cobra11Murderer:
There was someone that said they could in this thread and achieved that but idk what post it was
[General Questions and Answers] codyedmonson:
Knox as far as I know is a switch that gets flipped or a fuse that gets cut and that's how it is known if Knox is reset

Buy a second-hand cell and has imei changed, I want it back to normal and free. Someone help me? And I got the one with the box but you can not make it work the avant Model
[General Questions and Answers] Masterchief87:
In the us it is illegal to change the imei, ESN, or meid of a phone unless you are refurbishing the device and it is not stolen. This exemption only applies to businesses.

Also, this phone does not like it when you play around with efs. I already soft bricked one while trying to backup and restore efs. If you try to change your phones imei by flashing the modemst1, efs, or modemst2 partition from a different device you are very likely to turn it into a media player that eats your battery like crazy, will not get calls or data signal, has no imei number, and won't shut off until you pull the battery or it dies. Take it from someone that learned the hard way. Don't **** with the phones efs partitions or try to change the imei number.

---------- Post added at 12:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------

Also, don't ask people for a backup of their efs partitions or for help with changing your phone's imei. You will only succeed in further agitating everyone.

Sammy kernel booting hehe
[General Questions and Answers] Bobby Tables:
Well, now that I've carrier-unlocked my Avant and moved it to my secondary service on H2O, I've decided to take the plunge and root it.

Installing TWRP went smoothly. However, my advice regarding rooting: Don't let TWRP install the SuperSU installer. Download the flashable SuperSU ZIP directly, and then install it via TWRP.

I tried the installer approach, and:

1. the Play install option failed, and

2. the TWRP install option would download it, not tell me where it downloaded it to, and I couldn't find it in TWRP.

Just downloading it directly worked like a charm.

Followed the directions below exactly. Got the Passed from Odin. Got SuperSU installed. SuperSU has SuperUser Enable. But Root Checker says that root access is not properly installed on this device.

i have sm-g386t, 4.4.2, KOT49H.G386TUVU1AOD7 build.

Any ideas?

Instructions:

1. Go to website: autoroot.chainfire.eu

2. Download package for SM-G386T (donate to be a community member)

3. Unzip it.

4. Open Odin3-v.07 on computer

5. Turn off phone.

6. Hold Down Vol, Home, and Power, simultaneously.

7. Press Up Vol to accept

8. Connect phone to computer via USB

9. Confirm that the message in Odin says "Added"

10. Check box for PDA and click on PDA, to select the file "CF-Auto-Root...." that is in the unzipped folder

11. Click Start

12. It'll restart the phone on its own. Odin should say "Pass!" on the upper left.

13. When phone on, download Root Check and run it to confirm that its been rooted.
[General Questions and Answers] codyedmonson:
The better way to root the phone is install twrp and then flash the updated SuperSU.zip fro. Chainfires website. It installs the latest binary and app to /system/apps/
[General Questions and Answers] thebrenda:
I just want to be super user so that I can use unlimited wifi tethering. I do not want a different ROM than stock.
[General Questions and Answers] Blu8:
TWRP is a custom recovery and flashing the supersu.zip just roots your phone, you're not installing any custom ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] Bobby Tables:
In addition, TWRP is extremely useful for another reason: backups. You can back up your system either to internal storage or (better yet) SD card, which can be very handy if something goes awry, or you later decide that you want to play around with custom ROMs.
[General Questions and Answers] D-FUSE:

OK, so I set SuperSU settings to have Access -> Default access -> Grant. Now Root Checker says that I am rooted. I did not understand how SuperSU works.

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

When I launched SuperSU it asked if I wanted to reset the Knox counter and I said Yes. It said SUCCESS. No idea how to check it though. How do you check the Knox counter? Also, cannot you use TriangleAway to reset?
[General Questions and Answers] Blu8:
To see if you've tripped Knox (if you installed TWRP you did) you have to boot into download mode, it's on the upper left hand corner. As for SuperSU, it can't reset the knox counter, what it asked was to disable Knox because it can cause problems if you're rooted.
