So I think I'm going to switch over to Metro, since it has good speeds in my area, and Sprint keeps messing with my bill.. and well I'll save half my phone bill too!

I just want to make sure that this guide is the most current method, and I want to fill in the blank of getting the phone setup to Metro in the first place. Do I need to go in to the store and have them setup my phone, or just sign up for a plan with them and then change all the settings in my phone as described in the OP? I want to keep my Sprint number so I will have to cancel my plan same day with Sprint, but idk if I need to setup the phone in some other way before I go into the store. :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdiaz33685:
yes, u have to go to a metropcs store that will flash ur phone first....

get the evo drivers, then follow the steps on the OP....

goto http://www.whiterabbit.org/android/ and use the calculator that will be ur password for data....
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1mp4c:
Couldn't I just buy one of the cheap phones from them, and then push the info to my other phone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jaysmi32:
does these setting only work for the evo or can i use them on my et4g?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1mp4c:
From what I have read, any CDMA phone that you can get into the diag for, can be done, but the actual steps vary from phone to phone, but it is essentially the same.

I am curious if you can sign up for an account with Metro, to get the Phonenumber@metropcs.com account, and then just use the listed guide and programs to input all the settings needed. Then call Metro, and have them add ur phone onto their network. I know Sprint will switch your phones by just calling in and u give them the number under the battery. Is this possible with Metro?

I am probably going in circles with the metroflash thing, but I am curious with all the access to the phone settings, what they flash to the phone that is only possible by them? I know "only metro/houdini can do it" but what is "it" that they are doing that cant be done with the programs listed in the OP? sorry to be a broken record, just need a clear answer :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] cbernardo13:
Bloody,

I just want to say thank you. First of all, I learned to flash phones from your tutorial, and 2nd, I use your metrodroid on every evo and it is a snap to flash and get mms on any evo. I wish there was one of your roms for every phone. But just wanted to say thanks for your help and hard work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] thinkjoey:
I would like to second this

Took me a million tries and I was on the verge of pm'ing you for help...then i got it...somehow ahah

well it works and i am super stoked about it. 3G not popping up...but that may be because I am not in the area - updated my prl and all that

it has been an adventure. thank you for your guide!

Evo 4G to Metro No MMS or NET

I have used your Tut. before Bloody with no problem. I have had my evo sent in for repair so had the old Metrodroid wiped. Now im lookin to load the NEW metrodroid but after doing so, there is no MMS or Net. went threw provision steps etc still nothing. Data wont work on wifi either!! After repair sprint updated my phone so changes are different from long before.:(

Usin ClockworkMod 3.0 gingerbread recovery

And HTc Sense ROM start before adding Metrodroid.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
data's been going up and down since yesterday so hopefully this will be fixed soon
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrguru2011:
Will it work if i go back to the old metrodroid 2.2 instead 4.0? MMS and DAT?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
If ur dying for data switch to prl 3018. I believe 1x still cinnects fine.

Hey guys. Considering trading my evo for a win7 phone. My screen is about gone and microsoft has the smoked by windows phone promo. Can win7 phones, HTC arive/trophy or lumia 710 for example, function fully on metro? this is kind of a time sensitive issue since the promo ends (supposedly) on the wednesday. any help would be appreciated. Figured this would be the place to ask. Sorry if it's out of place. (bloody, i originally posted this in your metrodroid thread. i forgot about this one. my b)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViciousxGaruda:
I've did Exact same setting of what you have put on your screen shot... Should I Wipe Data/Factory and Dalvik-Cache again and reboot into recovery and flash MetroDroid 1.0 again? And Youtube seem to play only 3-4sec and then it would stop with error saying it couldn't play...
[EVO 4G Android Development] majestic999:
Vicious i had try to get my web to work trying this out 3 times.. But no luck :(...

Some people say that your MSL is that on from SPC click READ? it is?

or that website calculates it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViciousxGaruda:
it's on the website, it calculate the MSL for you with your MEID/ESN.... go to this site h t t p://w w w.whiterabbit.org/android/ ....... "unspace the www and http" and type in your MEID/ESN after you calculate it it will show you your MSL under "MetroPCS MSL".... your can find your MEID/ESN (I used the MEID)in the QPST in the upper right corner, type that in and it will show your MSL, after you got your MSL from the MSL Calculator site copy the MSL and paste it as you password in the "PPP Config" Tab for both "UM" and "AN" in the QPST... hope this help, ... I'm also New to Android World ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
i really dont understand how some people could have so many problems with this lol i mean they are the exact settings and rom i used and i have everything working nothing different about my phone. only other thing you guys can try is like i said before try out another rom and use the autostart app from market and the script from Tolken419 in the droid eris android dev part of xda forums and if that doesnt work idk what else will.
[EVO 4G Android Development] majestic999:
haha bloody... Yeah i got no clue why it doesn't work with my phone...:p
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViciousxGaruda:
...

LOL.... I'm try keep switching rom...lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] majestic999:
which rom work for you Vicious can you posted a link so i can try it too... :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViciousxGaruda:
Bloody's Rom work and this work, h t t p://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=698136 dl the OMJ v3.5 blue sapphire Rom(I used that one) the only thing that doesn't work is the Youtube, idk why tho.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViciousxGaruda:
I also downloaded TubeMate app, so i can download youtube vids since I can't stream youtube. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
the thing is that sometimes it will work. metropcs internet is so slow that it will cut off stream. its only around 100k at max but you mostly get around 76k. unless if your in the of MetroPCS's 3g spots which are only 2 areas in the country your stuck with close to dial up speeds until they upgrade
[EVO 4G Android Development] majestic999:
Thanks im gonna be busy for a while... :)... after i get everything done i will posted back in here see how it went :)....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
hey there is one thing i want you to try if it doesnt work ehh its not going to cost you anything. in QPST go back to service programming and go to the system tab and theres a part that says SID and NID double click on that and a window pop up. change the values to SID - 4139 NID - 65535. Let me know if that makes a difference k
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViciousxGaruda:
Ooo, Well, It never worked at all for me... I guessed you got lucky to even view some vids :D Man.... My old Touch Pro 1 can watch youtube on metro, i don't see why this can't...
[EVO 4G Android Development] majestic999:
ok bloody im downloading that other ROM meanwhile...

:)

I will let chu know how it go... give me a min..
[EVO 4G Android Development] majestic999:
1+ Question... on CDMA TAB should i put that same on both of them or just one? cuz i see CDMA2 as well...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
well touch pro is WM6 if i remember correctly while this is android lol..i had the same prob on my eris i would get a few secs off b4 it got stuck and then it would just close saying couldnt play file lol. streaming media on 100k isnt exactly that good lol..even edge is like 200-300 lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViciousxGaruda:
there's couple of that should I just change the 1st set?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViciousxGaruda:
lol, I know that why it's kinda hard for me to switch from WM6 to Android :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
you have a few sets? hmmm thats weird i only have 1 set... how many profiles do you have in your M.I.P. tab....there should only be the profile 0 and 1 if theres any more that have any info in them that maybe the prob. be sure that you selected profile is set to 1 aswell
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViciousxGaruda:
nope, it didn't work:(

i still haven't been able to find a clean download yet

any info is much appreciated and thank you in advance

theyre all going to be classified as having a trojan because its cracked. its normal. not all trojans are bad
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
theyre all going to be classified as having a trojan because its cracked. its normal. not all trojans are bad. though you really dont need it anymore. just use the msl finder in the market and you bypass that step
[EVO 4G Android Development] eyeamfresh:
Yeah I just used the mel reader and proceeded with qpst. Which is very useful after Metro does a half ass job flashing your phone and leaves you with no SMS, no MMS and no 3g!
[EVO 4G Android Development] eyeamfresh:
Also they installed metroid V4 and I never could Get tthe SMS working on it. So I went back to decks 1.3. Which honestly I always prefer aosp over sense.

have a metro phone wanted to move it to new evo4g

but not working, used the same number and have 50$ contract
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrguru2011:
Did u pay metro to flash it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrguru2011:
To be honest you should explain more in detail what you trying to do.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iMystery:
So I have my Evo 4G that is not activated. My contract is about to be done in a month and I want to cancel it so I can use the number I have from Sprint and use it on MetroPCS. What do I need to do in order to use that number and my Evo on MetroPCS? Do I have to go to the store and have them do it? And add the esn to the database? Or can I do all this by myself and just get a plan with them? Thank you for any further information.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrguru2011:
Go to coorporate store for esn and number flash over then you have to come read to provision
[EVO 4G Android Development] iMystery:
So I called the corporate store and they did confirm that I just have to take it to them and they will flash it for me for $10. My question, when you say flash, does that mean they will change the ROM I'll have when I take it to them? Or will they just basically activate my phone and not touch the software? Thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mexigga:
No, they will not flash a rom. Metroflash is their method of using houdini software to add your esn to their database.

Sent with Swagger
[EVO 4G Android Development] iMystery:
So I just got my Evo flashed into Metro. I'm just wondering if I can flash to a ROM? Or will that mess with the Metro flash? Thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chainsaw5001:
It won't mess with the MetroFlash pe se, but i think what you're asking is will you lose features such as web and mms. The answer to that is yes. But thats what this thread is for. After you flash another rom depending on which one you may have to change some settings and/or flash one of the mms scripts in the op to get those features funtional again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mark.albarran:
I Have a BB 9330

can anyone direct me to a forum on how to flash it to metro.. im using this method with cdma workshop and qpst to alter the settings to metro.. but i know there are different things im suppose to do knowing its not an android... thank you in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] atljatl:
You're in the right forum. You're reading the right thread. Go to the first page of this thread. All info is there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViciousxGaruda:
Can this guide be used with any other phone like HTC Evo 3D?? After provision it do I just need to flash MetroDroid Rom? In the first post it say MetroDroid v1.0 but in your other thread "[ROM] MetroDroid v4.0, MetroPCS MMS Scripts, ICS Script is UP! (5/8/12)" You have MetroDroid v4.0 link... Should I use that This thread MD v1.0 or the other MD v4.0?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdiaz33685:
metrodroid is for evo 4g not the 3d.. :(

but the provision will work for you phone... :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViciousxGaruda:
Dang....But Thanks...lol. so the provision should work for Data and MMS? Or is there a .zip I have to flash to have Data/MMS? (For the Evo 3D btw)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdiaz33685:
the provisioning will get u data and mms also 3g if its in ur area,... as long as ur phone is already in metropcs database..

go to bloodys other thread on my signature, that is where his rom and mms scripts are located.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViciousxGaruda:
I see his script but does that only work for Original Evo 4g or Evo 3D as well?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdiaz33685:
I would have to say the scripts should work for the 3d also.....

It doesn't look like the instructions are specific to one phone.

Shouldn't it be the scripts alone that are built for a specific phone?

can someone please help me out here..

I have my evo, in perfect working condition, already rooted and what not.

Running cm7

I want to give it to me niece who is already on metro.

What does it mean, in the instructions, must have evo already flashed to metropcs.

???

I called them up and they are acting like I'm stupid, saying that cannot be done.

can u reupload the rom or a mirror cause the link isnt working for me
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
You have to open it on ur desktop
[EVO 4G Android Development] mexigga:
Don't get them confused by asking them to flash anything. They should know what "metro-flashing" is....It is where they use houdini-soft's program to add your Evo's ESN to their database.

What should I enter for (your phone #)@mymetropcs.com if I don't have a Metro PCS account or plan but I'm trying to flash my Sprint Evo 4g to work with Metro PCS so I can sell it to other Metro PCS users. And do I still follow this process if I do not have a Metro PCS account?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mexigga:
You need to have the esn added to mpcs. Otherwise, the evo will not work regardless of what you enter.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jackfrost909:
I'm just wondering if anything has changed in this regard? My Sprint contract is ending and I'd liek to consider MetroPCS as an option.

Will the evo simply not work or will it work part way? I'm in Brooklyn mostly but get around the 5 boros and more so I'm concerned with my whole general area. Any insight on NJ, if you have any, would be great too.

Everytime I try to open CDMA workshop with 7zip it says: "Error while loading target or timeout problem! Control main file and retry."

What does this mean? I've tried many different links to find CDMA workshop but have no luck. I have everything else. This is the only thing holding me back now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrhanky89:
I think I'm kind of screwed.

I didn't know about MetroPCS' automatic PRL pushing so I got downgraded once again. I also didn't know there was an option in DFS or one of those programs to disable the updates.

Problem is....my charging port on my evo 4g has progressively gotten worse and now it won't even connect to my computer via usb. It is not a driver problem. One of the contacts probably got damaged or fell off. Last time I had a similar problem where it would only charge and not connect via usb, but wiggling the cable in the port helped. Now it doesn't.

I also tried to connect to qpst/dfs with a com to ip program to do it over wifi but it didnt work. And yes, I enabled adb. Has anyone gotten this to work?

Any other ways to update the prl manually? From the phone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mexigga:
Sense based roms should allow you press ##775# to change prls. Try that. If you get your port repaired, there's an option in dfs to stop ota updates...

using DFS CDMA Tool, under the Programming Tab>NAM Tab> Go to the box labeled Detail: and unclick Otapa, then click Write.

Lastly, Restart your phone
