I figured out what makes it work....

You must change the two proxies at the bottom of the Advanced tab under the ##3282# command. They must be port 3180 and address proxy.metropcs.net

Anyway we can change this within qpst, or make the settings stick while flashing roms?

Or automate it using the u2nl autostart thing?

That's the key to getting it to work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
ah k so mms is working just by changing the apn....k well ill release a beta rom of it soon. i wont gaurantee it will be super great since their still working out the bugs on the port but it should work ok =P
[EVO 4G Android Development] nsteger123:
Would you mind tellling me how you get data working on aosp roms/ports?
[EVO 4G Android Development] willpowermusic:
I am on the MIUI rom ....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
ill make a zip soon for people dont have to figure it out for them selves or install my roms
[EVO 4G Android Development] nsteger123:
That would be amazing. I switch roms a lot :)

attention everyone let's make the donate button busy

and make that metropcs.apk.zip file a reality
[EVO 4G Android Development] egzthunder1:
Most of the stuff in this guide still cannot be done via flashing a rom (you can only do the last part with the rom), but all the stuff with QPST... you'll have to do that by hand.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nsteger123:
Any progress?
[EVO 4G Android Development] willpowermusic:
I'm on the MIUI rom. I can't watch any videos or access the internet from the stock browser, Skyfire, or Dolphin over Wifi (I can over 1x, but no video). I can access the net from Opera mobile, just no video. Kind of frustrating. Lol. Do you know how to get it all working? I know that's a lot....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tibedabeeto:
When you switched to Metro, did you have to buy one of there phones first then do this guide? or did you just get the plan on the Evo? Just trying to figure out how I am going to switch once my plan ends.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nsteger123:
You just need it flashed at a corporate store, no need to buy their phones. They will set up the account after it's flashed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tibedabeeto:
So they flash it, I get my account, then I do this guide? Also does the $40 month plan work with this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] egzthunder1:
As nsteger said, you will have to take your EVO to a Metro store that can do flashing (MetroFlash). They will scare the hell out of you by telling you that the device may no longer work for other carriers and that the features you enjoy on other carriers will not work with Metro. Basically, this is a load of BS. The device can be flashed back to whatever carrier you want. It is simply a matter of re-provisioning your device yourself and using the correct PRL (you may need to get a new A-Key, but I am not 100% sure of that).

Sorry, I digress. Just take it in, ask them to flash it, and that you want new service with them/port your old number. The whole process will take roughly 45 min to 1 hr depending on how fast/slow the rep is. Once you are done with that, you can follow this guide. Word of the wise, you will walk out of the store with Sprint service. The guy at metro will likely test the device to see if the flashing worked, but you will likely lose service within a couple of hours (they will blame it on the portability thing if you carry your number over). Ask the rep in the store to provide you with the MSID and the MIN since you will likely need these numbers to program the device by hand. If you don't do this, I can guarantee you that you will spend over an hour on the phone jumping through Metro customer service reps who will keep transferring you to a different person asking you to power cycle your device or to do *228.

Rant...

Edit: The lowest plan you can get is the $45. They would force you on the $50 but they claim that most of your features will not work, so they have to put you in something that you won't complain :rolleyes:

@Bloody,

Please update the first post as we discussed a few pages ago with the corresponding eris zip file by Tolken
[EVO 4G Android Development] Haze69:
Lol some of that is true but not all, I work for metro, you can have your evo on the 40 dollar plan, and is what I'm on (if the rep says different, he's just trying to get paid more on the activation). Having the 45 or 50 would be pointless as those features are for metro phones. Since we have flashed phones gps and email will still work on the 40 even though it says its on the 50 dollar plan. The only benefit you could have on the 45 is the screen it which is a caller id which gives you the callers full name even if there not in your phone book.

Edit: don't expect to leave the metro store with internet and all the features, you will only leave with talk/text. You will need to follow this guide to have internet and picture mail.
[EVO 4G Android Development] willpowermusic:
Can anyone help me?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tibedabeeto:
Thanks nsteger123 , egzthunder1, and Haze69, that was the information I needed to be confident to make the change when the time comes. I appreciate the comments.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sayasinh:
I'm new to this android stuff I've been a iPhone user since the beginning and still currently am,but the unlimited talk and text of metropcs is great so I'm using both,this is a great guide but I was wondering u stated that the market doesn't work on metro network only thru wifi,well I've been using market just fine without wifi,anyone else have that ability?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Haze69:
Yes, ever since metro came out with the lg optimus android, market will download on 1x
[EVO 4G Android Development] willpowermusic:
I reset my phone and everything is finally working the way it should! We'll see how long it lasts! Lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViciousxGaruda:
I thought the same.. after I read this I try and it work...2mb app live wallpaper take like about 5min for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] egzthunder1:
All that was true for me... it may have just been my luck I guess... but I appreciate the tip on the $40 plan. The guy at Metro that did the activation (who charged an extra $10 for the flashing... total of $20 when the site clearly says that it is $10) said that the lowest I could go would be a $45 plan, which didn't make sense at all to me.... now, thanks to you, I understand why... :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
ill be coming out with zip scripts soon for all you have to do is use them on anyrom u want to use. give me a few days though maybe tomorrow lol

edit: sorry it will sometime this weekend just been busy with school expect something soon =P
[EVO 4G Android Development] DeANgelo130:
Will this work for HTC Hero?

I have a Hero that's flashed to MetroPCS. I followed the provisioning guide exactly and all the settings are correct, however it still refuses to connect to the internet. Will any of these roms correct the problem or is there something else i may possibly be missing. I rooted the phone and its currently running a Cyanogenmod Froyo build. Any help would be much appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
u need to get the autostart script from the Droid Eris android dev forum...look for Token419's thread for MetroPCS and Cricket zips....all u need to do is flash that zip over your rom and then download autostart from market. might need to do 2 reboots but after that u should be good =P
[EVO 4G Android Development] V1cmlb:
Any update on this?? im on metrod. V2.0 rite now everything works just fine thanks for u work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] willpowermusic:
Hello. How do you get the zip scripts, and what do they do? My internet still doesn't work...wifi is fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
Ill be releasing scripts tomorrow I promise as for u..try my rom after following my guide and u should be good
[EVO 4G Android Development] willpowermusic:
Ok, I obviously don't know much about this stuff, lol. Where do I go to get your rom, and do I need to wait until the scripts are released? Sorry for bugging you, thx for your help!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jackelmatador:
Look for the MetroDroid Rom, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=795182, just updated to v2.0 in order to get this to work though you MUST follow the steps in this guide first.

If you can't read the SPC just use 000000 hopefully that helps you out some
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
i put an SPC reader in the latest version metrodroid just know that you will have to do a battery pull because it locks up the phone but u get the code though
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
scripts are out btw check out my rom page
[EVO 4G Android Development] willpowermusic:
Bloody, don't mean to keep bugging you, lol. Where do I find your rom and guide? I have no clue what to do on here! :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] chefchuck:
Will, everything you need to know is in the wiki, and the first post of the first page. I'm not trying to be rude, but if you can't read past the first post, you may be in over your head. Proceed with caution, make sure your phone has full root before you attempt to continue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] willpowermusic:
My phone does have full root...I'm gonna try out this process. I'm just not familiar enough with the forum to know exactly where to go (rom pages and things like that)
[EVO 4G Android Development] akkasca:
Hey bloody does this same process work for a evo on the highest h boot or do i have to downgrade and if so how? Im using the new unrevoked for the new hboots also.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
yea its fine the hboot unlocking is just for root and roms =P
[EVO 4G Android Development] akkasca:
Thanks some guy was telling me something about kernel and problems i was scared ill break the phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
well if u do it wrong u can lol...but easiest way to root and unlock your phone is with Unrevoked3 its pretty much idiot proof i say and its quick. after it gets rooted what i usually do is get rom manager from the market install the latest clockwork recovery because it makes me and then i go to the bottom install alternative and install Amon_Ra's recovery. ive been using them forever and i hear they have less bugs but which u want its up to u =P
[EVO 4G Android Development] DoubleOThrowed:
thanks for the guide
[EVO 4G Android Development] Marchena:
Will MetroPCS LTE 4G run on EVO Wimax 4G? Can anyone confirm?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Phyllip J FRy:
Thanks for the guide. Quick question.

I am doing this for a friend of mine (I have a Rooted EVO on Sprint), that is on MetroPCS. I had them flash the phone (metro corporate store) and then I rooted it. It is now telling me the account can not be validated please call customer service. Was I supposed to Root the phone before having metro flash it?

The EVO still shows MetroPCS instead of Sprint
[EVO 4G Android Development] rye sabral:
this is my first posting here.sort of a noob to most of this but evidently i seem to be able to follow instructions because YAY i works great!! thank you bloodykiller for this fabulous tut.cant seem to get the miui rom to work though.just hangs on the white evo 4g splash screen.the metrodroid is great though.thank you.will donate on next pay day 4 sure!!happy happy flashing all!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Phyllip J FRy:
I am having some issues with this.

I followed the guide completely, but I am getting an error when trying to call stating "Welcome to the American Roaming Network to make a collect call, press 1......"

What did I do wrong?

Here are my settings:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
Your most likely having that problem because your MDN or MIN is incorrect
[EVO 4G Android Development] vasiaeva:
cant install cdma workshop said file wasnt found:confused:tride 5 times different files
[EVO 4G Android Development] Phyllip J FRy:
That is EXACTLY what it was. I contacted another member on here and he gave me the information I needed. I contacted Metro and they gave me the MSID and MIN. I did ##000000# and updated it. Rebooted and viola. It worked.

Thank you so much.
[EVO 4G Android Development] designmanfx:
Help guys

Hey so first time poster... member for awhile.

Ummm had problems with Tmobile so dumped my HD2 (running android) and found a Htc EVO that was already flashed for Metro.

Called from the phone and opened an account without any problem. $40 plan... I have a couple of questions that i really need some help with, it might be simple fixes. So before i list 'em, thanks for the help in advance!

1> The old owner google account cant be removed without it being restored to factory default... Question: If i bring it factory settings, will i lose all the flashed stuff for the metropcs? Is there another way to remove his account and use mine without this? (( I tried to add my account (wifi) and then remove his but it says it cant be removed without reverting to default ))

2> The phone works, SMS works, wifi and youtube works ((wifi only)) When i try to connect to "Mobile Network" it just says, "turning on..." but nothing happens.

3> When i called MetroPcs to see if Internet/Mobile Web was on my plan the guy basically told me it wont work because they dont support the device. However, everyone here and the previous owner was able to do it.. so is there something particular i need to say to them?

And lastly (that i can think of right now) if i got the new android 4g plan for $60 does it really go a lot faster? hjmmm thoughts?

Thanks again in advance for the help guys!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
It doesn't connect to mobile network because it's not setup right. Follow this guide and also root ur phone with unrevoked3 its very simple many guides on it then either install my rom or use my script and there u go =P

And no it wont go faster. No other phones than metros phones work on 4g because they use different frequencys also unless u live in a 3g area ur screwed on crappy 1x which is capped at 144 kbps sigh =\
[EVO 4G Android Development] designmanfx:
Thanks Bloody Killer... If it wasnt set up properly how did the previous owner have it running and everything? Either way... im trying my best to avoid having to root and do the whole things myself.

Too bad about the capped speed...

Umm so if i reset the phone to remove the previous owner account.. will it lose everything so far? I mean at least right now the phone itself is working. THANKS!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
If he had everything then the phone has already been rooted and why would u avoid it? Root makes ur phone better =D plus basically u have re provision ur phone for ur number so just follow my guide. Easy way to check if its root is to turn the phone on while holding vol down while booting if it says s off ur good to go just go into recovery from their
[EVO 4G Android Development] designmanfx:

[EVO 4G Android Development] designmanfx:
Okay, here is my update... i got brave last night and did a factory reset and low and behold it didn't revert to sprint but metro... i.e. was still able to dial out, txt etc.. so gmail default thing is over with! Hope that helps someone, somewhere.

Blood... dude ive been trying to do without having to ask again... Im doing this guide (windows 7, 64bit) And no matter how much i tried, i cant get past Step #14... It always says "There was an error enabling COM15. The port may not be working properly or may be busy. (-2147647259)"

Ive tried for hours... rebooting.. re-installing ... CDMA does work... it does show HTC MODEM in Device Manager...

help?!! thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] designmanfx:
Got my nerves up and tried to boot from Metrodroid.

[ROM] MetroDroid v2.0, CM 6.1.1 & MIUI - MetroPCS Edition

Getting so frustrated.. took my time and followed the instructions and i dont see any changes after the flash. My apps are all there but funny i see notifications on my SMS windows (had them before the boot) but now when i click it, it says "The linked program is no longer installed on this phone"

MOBILE NETWORK still doesnt work..

I installed <<<MetroPCS Evo Sense 2.2 MMS & Web Script>>>
[EVO 4G Android Development] willpowermusic:
could you send me the cdma link you used? Isa that a legal question to ask on here?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
yea i read your other post and since u couldnt get past step 14 u cant get the rest done...the 64 bit driver is a hit or miss sometimes...what u can do though is find a 32 bit comp with any version from XP to 7 then u can finish the steps to get you mobile network. Internet wont work til all the settings and put in
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
yea sorry i cant talk about pirating stuff...if u have any question about this please PM me
[EVO 4G Android Development] dcc0011:
Can you link Tolken419's mtropcs wev and mms zip? I must be searching wrong because I can't find it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] designmanfx:
thanks Bloody! I just got to a windows 7 32x computer so ill be trying it right now.

btw- i tried to boot a few of the different ROMS about metro and some dont even show Messaging... right now, i got the SMS working back but now wifi connects but it wont work. What a mess... going to give your way a try. thanks! I will let u know afterwards.
[EVO 4G Android Development] designmanfx:
well... 2 hours later, still no go! 3rd computer same thing... qpst - com is busy...

umm also loaded back Metroid 2.0 and wifi is working fine now..so is sms and phone. isnt that ROM supposed to have the fixing to bypass the whole cdma, qpst stuff?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
no u gotta do a few things on qpst lol...oh and u know what....i think i may know your prob..after u connect the phone to the com in DM mode and put the drivers in and find out wat port its on....make sure to only open one program that uses ports at a time...like u cant have CMDA WS and QPST both open
[EVO 4G Android Development] designmanfx:
bloody,

Yea i thought of that too lol after a couple hours. Now im on another 32x win7 laptop and it will only register the phone as "My HTC" or "HTC Diagnostic Interface" tried a few times to uninstall and install from my drivers but still nada. Anyways, i tried to cdma it anyways and it shows COM 6... same thing happens in the end.
[EVO 4G Android Development] designmanfx:
Hey Bloody,

update:

I managed to get it to connect on qpst... cpu #7. did the guide to the T and it wouldnt work... then i looked on the qpst vs physical esn# on rear... two different numbers. Neither worked, i ended up getting MEID Converter and it spat out an ESN number that worked!

So after a long road i finally got MMS and Internet working! THANK YOU!

however... lol the internet is so slow, it wont even stream pandora, maybe it was a pointless battle! lol i'm in Miami/Ft Lauderdale.. my phone says 3G but acts worse than dial up. Any thoughts?

0.15mb down

0.04mb up

from speed test.net lol metrofast
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
wow!....ur geting .15mb down? lol...i barely get passed 100kbps lol..and yea sorry sprint roms always say 3G lol..if u want pandora u gotta use AOSP roms idk why why it doesnt work on HTC roms atm its only the ones that come from sprint for the evo cuz the ported ones everything works
[EVO 4G Android Development] pinkmini:
Sorry if this was asked but Im getting ready to switch to metro and I really like my current setup. Running mikfroyo :) Wondered if I have to use a rom made for metro?

Does this work with the htc evo shift?

I will be getting an evo shift soo and i wana know will this work with it? i need it to be on metro pcs or i cant get the phone and would i be able to use it with their 60 dollar plan with 4g?
[EVO 4G Android Development] V1cmlb:
The only way u going to get 4g on metro is with a metro phone
[EVO 4G Android Development] mpeg3s:
My first question is has anyone gotten 3G speeds on Metro?

Thanks

mpeg3s
[EVO 4G Android Development] V1cmlb:
Theres no such thing aperently theres like one city with that lol who knows where it is
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViciousxGaruda:
Can

The HTC EVO Shift be able to flash to Metro PCS? I saw a Youtube video that the shift was flashed to boost and cricket, but not any news of Shift on metro. Also If it can, can the Shift work with Metrodroid ROM since the EVO is similar to Shift?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViciousxGaruda:
No one gonna answer me?:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] V1cmlb:
Some asked that question and thats what bloody said and hes the man soo guess not
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViciousxGaruda:
Damn.. One more question, can Shift be able to flashed to Metro? I heard it can flashed to Boost and Cricket. I can't find it anywhere if Shift able to be flashed to Metro.
[EVO 4G Android Development] V1cmlb:
Not 100% sure but I think u can check on the metropcs website if that phone can be flashd but u do know ur phone is going to be on 1x right no 3g or 4g

Edit: http://www.metropcs.com/metroflash/
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViciousxGaruda:
yea, i know... sadly my old evo broke and instead getting the evo shift i had to get droid 2..:( Do you know any good forum to set up the internet etc...for droid 2? Having a hella hard time searching..
[EVO 4G Android Development] V1cmlb:
Idk about the Droid just Google it but web should be working now with out having to do anything only thing missing is mms but I think with a phone like the Droid u just have to set up the APN
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViciousxGaruda:
Thanks for your response...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
Droid 2 has the same steps as the droid x =P just skip the part about autostart and the proxy workaround as that is not needed anymore =P

[EVO 4G Android Development] bpqow:
I've done everything on this guide. Have not called MetroPCS but I do have a metroPCS phone #. Used that number in my QSPT settings. When I dial out on the Evo *228 it doesn't go to MetroPCS's customer service. Does the ESN have to be added to Metro's system before i'm able to dial customer service?
