let me try this again...i had swyped this long answer and then press the back key and lost everything!

anyways...what i meant about editing with qpst was that I had followed about 2-3 different guides with different instructions on qpst settings for metropcs. everytime I tried your guide (countless times now!) i would recheck the qpst settings.

for the mms, i tried sending with the oem app as your guide said. it looked as if it had sent. went ot the loading screen and then i got a notification on the top bar saying message sent failure. i opened the message thread in handcent and it showed the mms but with a red x on the side, saying it had an error sending. i tried sending through handcent and like the guides said, it sent a file that is the right size but not an image. when being sent an mms i dont get a notification or an error...nothing. this was all tried while having WIFI off.

for the email i've tried both the oem app and k9. both send and receive over WIFI just fine. but not on metro's network (i get ssl handshake i/o error). if i try to verify incoming/outgoing server settings over metro's network i get an error, but not if i do it over wifi. this is to try to access hotmail, which has a pop3 account because i was using it just fine on MetroPCS's Samsung Code (WM 6.1 phone) before. i have a bookmark for hotmail.com that works over metro's network, but reason i wanted k9 to work is i prefer/almost need PUSH email. this was working, as i said, with the Samsung Code.

i tried both v3 and v3.5beta of token's flash. with v3.5beta internet and weather wouldn't update. with v3 internet, weather, and everything else i said up there works.

so, should i guess i'm going to try changing my password to my msl again and see how that goes.

in the meantime see if anything above stands out as a mistake on my part of what i'm doing...

i just installed the program you suggested for voice mail....i'll check if it works and get back to you.

There going to my homeboy that owns a metro store said they are its going to be an android phone made by kyocera I do believe
[EVO 4G Android Development] xboxhacker:
Yeah, its going to be the same phone Cricket has...

@Max_Pain:

Just be clear, you did push the MMS.apk from the bottom of the OP to you phone, right?

All i can suggest is to wait till metro get its android phone, then try to get your self on the android plan.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
Yes I did.i just tried everything again but using my msl for password and same result

No email our mms over network

My only last question would be about qspt settings. Are the passwords supposed to always be blank when I read from phone? Is the tethered nai in um supposed to be metropcs like your guide says or my number@mymetropcs.com like some other guides say?

[EVO 4G Android Development] gazla1978:
I am patiently waiting on 2.1 with solid working Sprint Rom however I do want the 2.2 FOROYO but I am not confident to use 2.2 due these unresolved issues. Hopefully some geek will cook a 2.2 rom for Metro and CriCket if not assuming this problem will be solved after metroPCS drops their first droid phone to the market.

PEACE.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jogitoxxx:
thanks, I got MMS IN/OUT with handcent.....using rom echOS.9
[EVO 4G Android Development] rarcangel84:
Thanks

Thanks to everybody, i have been reading this post for the last couple of days, and i was wondering what would i need to do, I am located on South Florida more specifically on Miami, anyone from that area i would be nice to get some feed back. I am in the proces or buying the new HTC EVO wich is abou $380 brand new. before i make that big purchase i just want to make sure i can get it working with Metro i this moment dont care much about MMS but i do use alot of texting, so my question is, using this method would i be able to setup an out of the box brand new EVO to work on metro service if not what steps should i follow remember it would be a Brad new out of the box, also what would be the best rom i should use for metro? i would like to have any useless sprint APPs thanks :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
Hey. I'm in miami too. I have my evo working on metro as well.

Following this guide I have text in and out, internet and data apps working, obviously calls in and out and voice mail notification. No mms and email through pop3 works when it wants to. Follow the instructions here and you will have at least that much working.

Remember if it's a brand new phone you're going to have to get the esn into metro's database somehow...that's the hard part...everything else is relatively easy.

For roms I've had ava froyo v6 and now I'm on omj v3.1 and I think this one is pretty good.

Let me know if you got questions I might be able to offer some insight since I just went through the setup phase a couple of weeks ago only :-)

UPDATED OP

More info on voicemail notifications added....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
I had tried your original suggestion downloading the voicemail notifier app and it worked....putting in this vm.apk file made it not work? IlL keep trying and report back...

Swyped from an HTC Evo on MetroPCS...
[EVO 4G Android Development] xboxhacker:
LOL!!! OK, so you deleted the "Sprint_VVM.apk" then added the "VVM.apk"??

Spelling and caps are important....

try this:

>adb shell
#cd system/app
#ls

ls will list the directory....

Make sure the Sprint_VVM.apk is gone and added the VVM.apk
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
I didn't have the sprint vvm file...i may have deleted it when I deleted everything sprint. And yes the VVM.apk file is there...i didn't adb push it but copied it with rootexplorer (paid)...does it make a difference?

[EVO 4G Android Development] xboxhacker:
it might... try ADB!
[EVO 4G Android Development] rarcangel84:
Oh thank you very much it would be of great help, This will be my first time flashing a phone i have Unlock before but the procedure is obiously different maybe we can contact each other i really want this phone to be working so it would be nice to get all the help i can get thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] gazla1978:
drink all day play all night lets get it poppin i am in Miami Beeeeeaaaccchhh.. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
worked! i did adb remove first and then adb push and rebooted. right away it told me i had voice mail waiting. went and deleted them. had my girl leave me a voicemail and 15-30 seconds after she hung up i had a new notification:D

now if we could figure out MMS and email!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Salpula:
So I posted another thread mention I messed up somehow in moving to metroPCS. That post is here: xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8069188&postcount=251

In short, I am on 2.2, SMS works, internet doesn't (ok for right now), but when I make phone calls or dial *228 I get verizon messages. Please read my other post if you think you can help.

TIA
[EVO 4G Android Development] gazla1978:
your PRL is flashed to Verizon you need to flash that to MetroPCS so how you do that follows;

How to flash MetroPCS PRL:

You need "CDMA Workshop" or any PC software that can read and write to your phone's NAND by comport.

1) Download MetroPCS 2001 PRL from this site to your PC's hard drive somewhere.

2) Enable the diagnostic mode on your phone by ##3224#

3) Start CDMA Workshop on your PC and you'll be on the "Main" tab which contains the connection settings. Under COM Settings (AT Mode) you'll have to change the Port to the COM Port your phone is on. Leave the Baud rate at 115200 and then click Connect.

The status bar on the bottom will say something along the lines "Connected to COM5 port successfully". Now you'll need to navigate to the Security tab and under SPC type in 000000 in the box. Next click SPC -> Send. This will unlock the phone for editing. A dialog will pop up to let you know as well

Finally we need to head on over to the Other tab where you'll find the PRL section. I would recommend Reading the NAM1 out of your phone before you do anything in case you need to restore the original settings.

After you've saved it flash any METROPCS PRL from the PRL files you saved from the link given above.

After flashing, quit CDMA Workshop and it will ask if you wish to send Mode Reset to the phone to apply changes (this restarts the phone) say yes and watch the Droid reboot.

VOILA ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] xboxhacker:
Sounds like your phone ESN is still on VZW and NOT metroPCS...

@Max_Pain:

Ummm ... i just thought of something... do you have MMS on your account? You can call and find out, or hit a shady metro store they will tell ya...NOT the corp store.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
just talked to my long time family friend who always hooks us up with plans for metro. she says i have the $50 everything plan, including mms. she also is adamant that i'm not going to get mms working because i have a flashed phone.:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] xboxhacker:
Just the kind of friend your need!!! WHne metro get its andriod plan out, you can have her "force" you onto the android plan. This should fix almost all problems... just as the android cricket plan did for those guys.

The only problem the rest of us is actually getting onto the plan without buying the android phone...LOL
[EVO 4G Android Development] Salpula:
Thats the odd thing, it is, and then I payed to activate the account using this MEID, unless the MEID is not enough. I did not have it programmed using houdini however. Is that required? I basically just searched for what the settings for metro PCS should be in qpst service programming, set them to that, and I started getting texts. The only thing is they gave a different MIN and MDN, I suppose I could have screwed up in trying to get those in the right places, but then I would expect texts not to work either. I went to this ghetto metroPCS place that had no idea what to do with an EVO. I suppose this is getting off topic at this point. I realized probably shouldn't be posting about this here since I haven't gotten voice working yet.

No matter what I set the SID to (or where I set it), if I put in ##33284# (##debug#), it always shows my SID as being 8. WTF is up with that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xboxhacker:
You need to have the ESN added to the metro inventory, thats what Houdini would do, but Houdini wont work with the EVO. So it sounds like it has not been added. If you dial *228 and it does not say "welcome to metro" its not been added. If its in the inventory... *228 will work.

Your MEID, is basically the ESN, just a newer version with 56bits rather the 32bits for the old ESN. I think you got scammed?

They gave you a new MID MDN? Your MDN should be your acutall phone number.

The QPST setting are for data connections
[EVO 4G Android Development] louforgiveno:
evo was added to houdini compatability Aug. 21st, it should work http://houdinisoft.com/helpdesk/approved_handsets.pdf
[EVO 4G Android Development] Salpula:
I don't think I got scammed, I may have messed up a setting somewhere. The SCM used to be 0x2a now its 0x3a. No idea how it changed. I have a metro store with houdini that is supposed to update to support the EVO and then they will help me. I also think houdini does a little more than just add the MEID/esn to metro, otherwise, why would they need a 3rd party app for it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] meinstein1987:
i must have screwed something up somewhere in the midst of doing this but i followed step by step and now wireless is not working as in i can not go on the market with wireless or browse the internet also i have not went to a metro store to put it on metro which i will b 2 morrow i guess i would be wondering if somebody could post pictures of the correct settings in qpst i mean beacause in another guide i read that you change all the ip address is to 0.0.0.0. i'm just not sure if i did every thing right maybe somebody can who has done it and have it working just reload qpst and screen shot their mip settings and ppm settings just a suggestion to new people because i'm not sure if i did it right but did follow step by step

Sent from EVO App XDA
[EVO 4G Android Development] chavonbravo:
You know that there are people selling the service of doing everything, loading esn and programming with all working, talk/text/internet/mms, for almost the price of loading via hoidini at store? better to get it all working as it should if you don't know how to do it yourself. Just saying.
[EVO 4G Android Development] meinstein1987:
It's not hard to follow directions but I'm just saying pictures would be nice as I read 2 guides 98% was the same the other 2% added detail just saying on a working phone with this screen shots would be nice for future followers
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
idk if u guys know this but after pushing the Mms.apk from the incredible instead of using half of handcent and msg app i use chompsms and it works perfectly...also for those of u on CM6 it also works on CM6 when u push the apk and also it doesnt give that problem with the smil.xml
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
from what i've heard what they sell you is a stripped down AOSP-type rom. everything works on the evo...but it's not 2.2 Froyo with Sense...

my phone was bought from someone who had paid to have it flashed...it came with a Bugless Beast rom and MMS was not working. i've since flashed a bunch of times with a bunch of guides and i'm now up to date with 2.2 but still no mms...and i dont think i'd rather pay to downgrade and have mms than have the latest software without mms!:)

so you're on metro using the incredible mms.apk from this thread and it works for you? i dont understand why it works for everyone else and not for me. i tried chompsms and i also got a message send failure like i do using the stock message app as suggested here. i've flashed that mms.apk several times, flashed different roms, flash token's file, both v3.0 and v3.5 beta, and nothing. no mms and no pop3 email :mad:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
well sometimes mms settings for metro depend on your location what city are u in? and also your settings are prob not correct in qpst cuz my mms is working perfectly and ur adb pushing it correct?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
i'm in Miami.

my qspt settings are as suggested in this thread. can you share yours? password, tethered nai, anything else i should know for the qspt settings that might have been overlooked?

the first time i deleted the original mms.apk and mms.odex files and copy/pasted my file using paid version of root explorer. that made it so the messages app wouldn't even show up in my phone at all, even after rebooting. then i deleted the mms.apk file i had copy/pasted there, and then i pushed the same file using adb and rebooted and then it showed up on the phone.

i tried sending how it's recommended here and the phone behaves well (i.e. gets stuck on loading screen after trying to send mms) but eventually gives me a generic message sending failure...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
well which rom are u trying to use currently one with sense or one without?

edit: check your messages
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
right now using OMJ v3.1 as per OP's suggestion...i believe that is a sense rom? i'm not really sure which roms are sense and which arent?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
thanks to Bloodykiller86...i dont know what setting made a difference but after he changed some stuff on my qpst file now i can officially receive MMS messages!

still can't send, but i'm not the type that sends anyways. yay for one more step in the right direction:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] myluvcandle:
are you receiving with the original Mms.apk or the one from the incredible posted on here?

The Mms.apk posted here activates my sending and receiving with chompsms or just receiving with Handcent but the OEM messaging app stays on Loading forever..

What do i do?
[EVO 4G Android Development] myluvcandle:
Is the MMS working with the OEM messaging app or the Mms.apk posted on here?
[EVO 4G Android Development] whodat105:
i forward all mail from hotmail, comcast,etc to gmail then i dont even need mail app on the phone. you need plus mail on yahoo to forward but i just use the yahoo app in the market for that.

Upgrade

I already have my HTC with Metro and is working with yhis tutorial but i am on froyo 2.1 i was wondering if i uodate to Froyo 2.2 i would loose my flash and also what would be a good rom you guys would i advise me to get.

once again THANK YOU, BTW i am in MIAMI (dade conty)

:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] psychobilly:
Ok im really loosing it, aaggrrh... I cant get a data connection through metropcs only wifi works but no data connection i followed all the steps to the tee. I have tried omj latest rom and now i have the latest fresh rom it has the proper prl and cdma and qpst settings i have flashed and wiped completely several times but i get no data other than wifi i tried everything im running froyo with the latest radio, i am able to make and receive phone calls as well as text messages but no data at all. I have any cut proxy settings everything but i never have seen the data icon come on ever.... I am not really that new to this as i previously flashed my HTC Touch with data,web,mms working perfectly and had it for like 3yrs now i am trying to upgrade but this evo is giving me a headache... I have carefully reviewed every little detail and setting carefully but nogo..... Anybody else having this issue????
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
i'm having an issue with the voicemail notifier.

it only seems to work after rebooting the phone. i'm assuming that means my task killer is killing it? i have it set to ignore voicemail notifier and there's the listening service running all the time....yet it wont notify me until i reboot the phone?:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] BIGWORM:
You're better off without a task killer.

I, for one, used to be all about them, but they're not critical to phone performance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tritron777:
I wonder if anyone has generic VVM.apk and mms.apk. I have the latest fresh rom and none of the included applications work. I pushed them and virtual voice mail does not show up. Is the phone being provisioned by sprint ? It seems that there is link to <function name="ua_profile">

<set name="single">

<item name="value">http://device.sprintpcs.com/HTC/APA9292KT/3296515.rdf</item>

It seems that zio points directly to google.

If we remove this from default.xml would this make data errors go away and mms work ?

In customize\mccmnc.xml gives this <item name="mmsc">http://mms.emome.net:8002</item>

<item name="user">*</item>

<item name="password">*</item>

<item name="type">mms</item>

On my htc evo i get unable to resolve send address what application can tell me what is going with mms ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] darth_vato:
Is this possible to do on Stock 2.2?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xboxhacker:
we use custom ROMs because they are rooted and mostly all sprint stuff is gone. As far as i know the OTA update for the EVO is still not rooted....but i haven't checked a while :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] oOflyeyesOo:
Is it not posted in the Dev section as rooted?
[EVO 4G Android Development] oOflyeyesOo:
So, 3g works with this correct? And what are the speeds compared to when they are on sprint, any different?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tosh1:
Hey guys I finally got mine working on with this and MMS working as well. I used the ChompMMS in the app store instead of Handcent and make sure that you do the adb commands or else it wont work.

I tried to just push it there with Root Explorer and it never worked. As soon as I used the ADB commands in a couple minutes things just started downloading and sending from my past attempts...

Using ROM Virus ROM RC1.1 with carbon theme...

Good luck guys!!!

is it possible to flash back to sprintpcs after having flashed to metropcs? if so, how do u go about doing that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigdatl:
Thanks again for the great work guys.....particularly to xboxhacker for the nice write up. Quick question...if I need to return to Sprint service, what must I do? Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigdatl:
Return to Sprint....

I just flashed my buddies phone back to Sprint. Basically, you need to reflash the Sprint stock rom and take it to Sprint. I told them I needed to update the PRL, and they reflashed it for me.

Cyanogen

Hi, I'm thinking about getting an evo and switching to Metro.

I have two questions

1. Has anyone tried this with Cyanogen Mod, if so how well did it work?

2. what are the 3g speeds like?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
bloodykiller86 has a great cm6 rom out with all features working on metropcs. So it works. I would recommend downloading one of his roms rather than trying to get things working on your own.

As to your second question...there is no 3g speeds in metro. You only get 1x...
