Confused...

Okay I read thru all of this ENTIRE thread twice & i'm okay with the instructions on flashing it to Cricket but I read there was plenty of problems like MMS or web not working or whatever. Now could someone put the full directions to make everything work on Cricket in order? :confused:

Also, do I already need a Cricket account to do this & can I download different roms/upgrade os & it not affect the flash? Im sure im not the only noob wondering these also

Help plzz cant get internet to work on my evo??

I followed the tut step by step 10 times but no luck.

when i open my browser it says no network connection..

I have damage control rom i have anycut , autostart.sh.

did all the steps with cdma and qpst but still nothing..

any idea what could be wrong. I have an evo fl to metropcs...
[EVO 4G Android Development] nsteger123:
After you have finished the CDMA and QPST stuff, you will need to take a look at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=730289

How i get it working is:

1. Install Autostart (Root) from the Market.

2. Turn off wifi and data.

3. Reboot, unlock and wait for the Superuser to ask for permission and hit allow.

4. With wifi and data still off, go into recovery and flash the v3.5 zip in the thread i posted above and reboot. Then you can turn data on, and test it.

**If it doesn't ask for permissions, uninstall and do it again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kipster3001:
I cant flash the zip file because rom manager doesn't support it another way to do it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nsteger123:
You can extract the files and do it manually by using the 'what it does' part in the thread. It should support it no matter what though, make sure you toggle verification ro off though.

ok so the DEV wont help or respond to if this works or not. i did everything in his steps, so now i want to know how to add a cricket phone number to the phone. i dont want to waste my money on getting cricket and the stuff dont work. he has not responded to my email or PM. i would like to know this works. the dumb people on you tube always say the did it and they show it done but they dont show how the phone was flashed to cricket. i would like to see a vid of this being done to an evo and getting it activated with a number.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amlavor:
need a little help here as well

trying to get it to metropcs

Ok, I have rooted my phone with unrevoked.

Have the metrodroid 1.2 running.

But here is what's happening

Did all the setting on the post 1.

but when I go to write to phone on QPST it gives 2 error, one about the port it is connected to and the other about NV ERROR WRITING...blablabla

It does make some changes on the phone though, thats what I dont get.

then what I did was i loaded the metropcs 02001.prl.

My phone goes into roaming mode with the triangle by the antenna bars.

when trying dialing for instance *611, *228 or what ever number...

it says two things American somethings or goes direct to Verizon...

I do have the esn and a phone number for that.

Just the EVO does not read that network...

Anybody know what is going on

Thanks a lot....

Got it working yesssss!!!!

Yes everybody after 4 days of trial and error I got it to work. I want to thank all the people that put this tut together you are Genius, Thanks very much....

Here's what i did different instead of using "metropcs" for password you need a MSL for metro you can go here to get it by entering your esn .whiterabbit.org/android and when editing profile with qpst look at the (HA shared secret) and the (AAA shared secret) click on (enter text string) and put the password there too you know the one you generated.

One last thing make sure that QPST resets your phone when you write to phone!!!!

All done Hope that helps somebody....

See the thread I started here for more details:

No, you take it to Metro first so they can do the MetroFlash. It will cost you $10 if you want a new number (plus the first month payment) or $20 if you want to keep you old number. When they put the phone on Metro, you need to fix the GPS, MMS and web.
[EVO 4G Android Development] roloracer:
I have a couple of questions and I apologize for any dumb questions.

My friend wants to buy a use Evo and wants me to do all the rooting and setting it up for him since I've been in the XDA game for a while and he has no clue about modding phones, but he has metro and I've been searching for info on all of the stuff I need to get this done for him. My first question when you take the phone to metro for metroflashing , can you still flash custom roms after taking it to metro? what does metro flashes? radio for metro? I've never had a cdma phone so I'm a bit confused to the matter of flashing for the network.

I would appreciate any help or any direction that someone can give me , thanks.:)

EDIT! Nevermind, my friend is buying a Sony Xperia X10 instead, so I guess I'll go to that forum and start again, thanks.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mteezey:
You will have to have your esn added to metros database first. There is two ways you can do it. Search craigslist and find someone or go to a local store i would stay away from corporate some wont do it. Once you get talk and text you can program the data to get web and mms
[EVO 4G Android Development] jj972:
Could I maybe call and have metro add the esn or do they have to physically do all this.. ..(told my girl I could do it all from home and can't lose this bet lol)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mteezey:
I don't think its possible to do on your own. I maybe wrong but it's a pain to add esn to metro. There is no harm in trying. However I have seen info that the Houdini software is floating around online somewhere if you can get that you just might be able to. Still not sure if that gets your esn added never seen the software. It might even your odds a little on that bet though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] RawkinRex:
Houdini is a CDMA phone provisioning and conversion package. The software connects to Houdinisoft servers to do the flash, it requires flashing tokens, usually 1 per activity, so the software is a pay per flash system, not likely you are gonna be able to get your esn onto metro without having a houdinisoft license and flash tokens. Look around for a store to do it, be careful, as some stores charge upto 60 bucks to metroflash you.

How can I add my esn to the metroPCS database, I have fully rooted Evo with the metro v4 rom, and along with this flash to metro. i took my phone into metroPCS to add the esn and they said that the esn wasnt on their server when i specifically asked the guy to put the esn into the database. After I told him i wanted it to be put in he told me there is no possible way to do so. So then we seen if we could flash it because the way i flashed it was completely impossible he said. So i let him proceed to flashing the device and houdini was not able to do the flash, he called support and they notified him that they have troubles with flashing rooted devices, they come out completely messed up.

Yes, but you're also on MetroPCS. Sprint's coverage may not be great, but it's definitely better than MetroPCS. Oh, and using Sprint, you can hack the phone to run it on Verizon. To me, that's worth the extra $30/mo.

evo on metropcs or cricket

the anycut/bettercut method of setting up web will only get web browser. no apps, market, gps, instant email, or any other feature on the phone that requires internet access like friendstream. there is a way to get full internet feature working on metro / cricket tho ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ap3604:
See I am much, MUCH too greedy for that ;)

Every time a newer phone comes out that is better the one I currently have, I end up selling my current phone on Craigslist/eBay and use the money to upgrade. Its a MUST that I am not tied to a 2yr contract so I don't have to pay an ETF each time I upgrade.

Currently I have a Nexus One on a $50/mo Even More Plus plan and I want to upgrade to the Evo BUUUUUUT... I only want to pay $50/mo contract free so that when the next big thing comes out I can sell my Evo and repeat the process :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ap3604:
Thanks for the heads up about anycut/bettercut.

How did you get full internet working on Metro then?
[EVO 4G Android Development] wastingoctober:
Sounds like you end up spending quite a bit buying and selling phones! But since you save a good amount with your monthly plan, I suppose you can justify it.

The Evo is amazing. Everything runs super fast. Battery life is miserable (about 8 hours with moderate usage), but I haven't had a chance to run more battery-friendly ROMs yet.
