flash to metro pcs

Damn man I guess nobody check their messages anymore, but anys ways I got everthing done still no internet, so whats the deal

WHO BESIDES THE OP HAS ACTUALLY HAD ANY SUCCESS?
[Fascinate General] haroldg90:
yeah i am also trying to flash a cdma hero and i dont know how to use sdk, not too familiar, but im up for it. any video tutorials any1? this sucks dude, i really wanna learn how to do this :( i have a phone and i cant even use it.
[Fascinate General] AlexFG:
Did you use a custom ROM or just the standard ROM?
[Fascinate General] AlexFG:
I've tried a few different variations of this method and it doesn't work. At least not with the standard ROM. Also the PPP username and password kept resetting itself back to verizon after reboot so I'm guessing we're gonna need a modified NV-Items file to fix that; the one from whiterabbit doesn't work on this phone.

[Fascinate General] euklid:
I had success flashing to metro with everything working. for the ppp settings to stick make sure you use qspt 2.7 build 215 and the m.ip settings with build 355.
[Fascinate General] Jamal1410:
how did u get mms on it?? because i cant get it on my fascinate everything works except mms
[Fascinate General] euklid:
I uploaded apn file for metropcs with apn restore app.
[Fascinate General] m4f1050:
You have that xml file? Or a link to it? I'd like to try with new ports, I didn't even have to install AUTOSTART for web to work...wonder if mms works with just the apn.xml....
[Fascinate General] euklid:
Here's the link to the xml file just make sure you change it to your info. Before restoring.

[Fascinate General] m4f1050:
Thanks! I just checked it and it has "Verizon" as APN and APN NAME, have you tried changing these to something like "MetroPCS" to see if it breaks? It is a Verizon phone after all so it might need it to stay "Verizon"? But if you can test with "MetroPCS" and see if it works let us know, thanks!!

Metro PCS Files and Support .apk's

Hi can someone send me a zip please of the Metro PCS Files and Support .apk's
[Fascinate General] euklid:
The apn name doesn't matter.
[Fascinate General] beeroatsnp90x:
does someone have a copy of their qpst settings?
[Fascinate General] euklid:
You no longer need these files..just flash your m.ip and ppp settings with qspt.
[Fascinate General] Jamal1410:
can somebody help me. eplaining step by step on how to fix the mms on flashed fascinate to metro??
[Fascinate General] BenitoB:
Im having trouble getting mms to work on my samsung fascinate, can you give me a staep by step, i copied and pasted the apn from the last post on page 3 with my info password as metropcs, i tried created shortcut to mms using anycut, but it force closes when i try to open it
[Fascinate General] euklid:
Just edit the xml file with your info..and download the app "apn backup and restore" delete current apns and restore the apn using the xml file you edited.

MIN, MDN questions

Hi all,

I am very new to Android. I have some dump questions about MIN and MDN. How can I get these numbers? I did some Google search. SOme said that MIN and MDN are the same (my 10 metro PCS number). Some said that these two are different and I need to call metroPCS to get them?????

Another question is about how to add these two number into qpst? in CDMA tab, there is directory #(I guess it will be MIN), so how about MDN?

Thanks a lot for your help.
[Fascinate General] akaruna:
MIN is a number you have to get from ur service provider. just call and ask them what it is. MDN is ur mobile directory number (ur phone number)

directory # in qpst is ur MDN.

Edit: oh and its also a great idea to know what ur CDMA home SID # is, so ask the customer service that too :P
[Fascinate General] akaruna:
AnyCut

ok so, i was having some trouble finding the dial up networking- considering that it wasnt where you said it was lol.

n e way, i dl'd anycut and starting creating shortcuts randomly. (yea yea yea, i know i could have messed it up. lol but thats what these great guys came up with odin for so :p ) if u cant find dial up networking then dl anycut from the market and go to

new shortcut

activity

scroll down to the d's and click on the 2nd data. make sure its the second one.

open the data shortcut and scroll down

and viola there is dial up networking :P

hope this helps n e one out!!!
[Fascinate General] beeroatsnp90x:
Does someone have a copy of this xml file for apn backup and restore? the link is dead.
[Fascinate General] Deathscreton:
Same here. Link is down. I won't be getting my Galaxy/Fascinate till next month, but thought I'd do some early research.

Anyways, I wanted to bring back up the ESN thing again. I recently (recently being nearly a year and a half) flashed a PPC6700 to MetroPCS and had that ESN of that phone added to their inventory. I was wondering, since they can add ESN's and get those working, what if I just used the ESN that is already added? Since I won't be using my PPC anymore once I get my Galaxy/Fascinate working, that should be okay right? I mean, the ESN is just a number that you enter into it via software QPST correct?

A quick answer is much appreciated. :D

EDIT: I'm hoping to keep the same number, which I already have. So the ESN should also be okay to pair with that number if you get what I'm saying?
[Fascinate General] jenisiz:
Doable yes...illegal debateable. I would explain how but there are those who use this information wrongfully.
[Fascinate General] Deathscreton:
Well you know why I wanna do it, would you share it via PM? If not, I understand. Lol, I'll take my chances and try to figure it out if myself if you can't. XD
[Fascinate General] rafgonzales:
can anyone pm me the links or where or how to get the metro pcs files and apks...please bros..thanks!!! really need it... (sorry for forgetting, that i already read that you no longer need this files) tnx anyways
[Fascinate General] rafgonzales:
Can anyone help me, i've done every step as is, i am trying to flash a rooted fascinate froyo ed01 to metro pcs. And still to no avail :( i dunno whats the problem, and i've repeated the steps several times already and still nothing happened, i was able to change my mdn, not sure with the min if it was changed though but anyway, my phone status show changed phone numbers, but in network it still says verizon, i called to metro to have my meid added to their system but they can't seem to add it, they told me my phone was still not flash. Please help. I've been trying to flash this phone since last saturday :( any help will be greatly appreciated!!!!
[Fascinate General] GavinMazey:
Im getting my fascinate tomorrow and wanted to flash it to metro. I have a few questions though. Do i need a existing metro account in order to do this? And If i want to flash a custom rom will it overwrite the things that were changed to get metro working? Thanks for your help
[Fascinate General] surda:
got everything to work but mms, tried using euklid xml file using apn backup and restore still didnt work, is there any other way to get it workin?
[Fascinate General] impuresoul2k3:
Thank you so much!

I couldn't figure out how to get my Fascinate programmed to cricket (I had all but the data through apps, but knew I needed the autostart stuff like I had on my droid) since I couldn't run the mkdir command.
[Fascinate General] wtfcr0w:
I was wondering if anyone had these metro pcs files available. I know this is an old thread but i have been searching for days and havnt found a better solution to flash my phone to metro. Also... I have tried to find "Dial up networking" in wireless settings and cannot find it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
[Fascinate General] shanerbaner82:
Bcrowie go to this site to get the autostart and u2nl files the other 2 can be found on the market. I am kinda in the same boat I have talk and text getting mms and web is .... I have been trying to for 16 hours straight if that tells you anything. i just paid $108 to cdma-ware for the full registered version of cdma workshop so i can write the nv items and hope and pray that works. I figure it is a nice thing to have the full version of cdma workshop anyway.

I could not find Dial up networking FOREVER one of the posts said to do this and it worked for me. Go to the market download anycut go to anycut and click activities scroll down to DATA there are a bunch of them click the second one and it will make a shortcut onto your homescreen. Click it and scroll to the bottom dial up networking.

The other thing is this i dont know if Dial Up Networking is needed to write things to your phone or not. I could be wrong but while I couldnt find it I was able to do quite a few things and got talk and text to work.

**usbui set both items to modem that is how my computer recognizes my phone as a com port. works like a charm everytime. If anyone knows a way to write nv items with dfs I think that would help me a bit. I tried and some stuck some didn't. I am going to try to find qpst 215 and see if the ppp stuff sticks if I have any luck I will let you all know. PEACE!
[Fascinate General] BennytheReaper:
@shanerbaner82

Does that cdma-ware work?

I got the demo version but it didn't help.

I have qpst 215 if you want it.

I think I have everything done except getting esn into the system.

I went to two stores today and the idiots there couldn't do it.

*228 doesn't do it.

It says it's already activated but it's not.

I did use DFS and it worked, but qpst also worked for PPP, MIP and all the other crap.

Seems endless. Qxdm seems overly complicated and people seem scared to explain it. I'm scared to mess with it. Maybe if I had a practice phone.

Since I showed my girl the phone she's been on me about throwing her crap admire away and using this.

Damn.

@bcrownie

I have those files if you need them.

@shanerbaner82

I just got it to work!

I did the nv items with DFS. If you can't figure it out I'll walk you through it.

Too busy celebrating right now!

No MMS yet, but I did save the Metro Apn settings yesterday, I just forgot what I did!

UPDATE:

Finally got mms working fine.

I used es file explorer to edit the apns-conf.xml file at /etc/apns-conf.xml

I tried a bunch of different configurations and I'm not sure what affected what exactly.

Cause this didn't fix mms, at all or right away.

UPDATE:3/24/12

Yes I did this on another Fassy without messing with build.prop or apns-conf.xml, and the following made MMS work.

Very simple.

So I used anycut to make an Apns shortcut.

The Apn was blank as I deleted the verizon one and somehow the metro one I had that didn't work anyways.

So this got it to work.

Click menu, new apn.

Name it whatever, I named mine 'cheese', any nonsense will do.

Then I put '1' as apn on the next line.

Go down to MMSC and put-they won't let me post it cause I don't have enough posts yet!

I'll post it later.

Then make sure it's this:

310

012

and on the last one choose 'mms'

Leave all other crap blank!

Press menu and then save

Reboot

This worked!

Seems to easy to be true I know.

Anyone need help, I'll help.
[Fascinate General] wcsc12:
I know I'm thread necroing but I was wondering about the files to do this as well. I've got a Mesmerize and was wondering if you can use these same files to do to the same thing. Also, I noticed in an earlier reply it was stated that these files were on the "market". Do you mean the Google Play Store?
[Fascinate General] tspherix:
No longer need the support files?

Is there a newer version of QPST or will the one originally posted do the magic without the Support files?

Thanks in advance.

(Also, If anyone does still happen to have those support files, can you please Send them to me?)
[Fascinate General] FerociousAndroid:
Questions flashing this phone that already has an ICS ROM (MIUI). What do you use to get into the **87284 ? I tried it but not doing anything. Can I use and ICS ROM or will I have issue.

OR

Just flash to GB, reprg to Metro PCS and put ICS? Has anyone done this?

Thx
[Fascinate General] FerociousAndroid:
realized since I switched kernels the above access number doesn't work anymore.

-Not sure about the existing account after flashing to Metro...

-Flashing a custom rom over your flashed Metro worked for me...

Did this last night on my GF Fassy. She paid someone to metro it. She originally had an ICS rom but they couldn't access the cfg menus to program it so it was flashed back to stock VZ GB 2.3.5 EH03 (CI500_VZW_EH03_GB_CM.tar.md5 w/ atlas_v2.2.2.pit).

After flashing to Metro do the following:

>Put your phone in DownLoad mode

>Use Odin3 v1.85 to DL cwm-recovery-ALL.tar (red one) for EH03

>Reboot into CWM

>BACKUP via CWM

>Wipe Data

>Install SuperClean3 Milestone2 (sc3_milestone2_full.zip)

>Reboot and everything seems to be working.

Love SC3! Next I will be trying the KGB Kernel =)

On my phone I will do a fresh install of stock VZ GB 2.3.5 EH03 (CI500_VZW_EH03_GB_CM.tar.md5 w/ atlas_v2.2.2.pit) then install CWM and SuperClean3 ms2 before I flash to Metro. Can someone PM me MetroPCS support files?!
[Fascinate General] Dmcd7782:
are there any mac osx files available for download?

I'm having trouble finding cdma workshop for mac

thank you
[Fascinate General] beyondthecosmos:
I have a full flash now thanks to you guys. took me hours just to find download and understand the programs and files, not to mention the months of forum-crawling newb-style. Thank you.
[Fascinate General] wrkrbee:
still valid?

:confused:

I have read through all 5 pages of this post and I'm a bit confused. I know the post is a bit old (2011), but I'm wondering what is the actual steps that need to be taken. Read a post about not needing the Metro PCS support files, but don't understand what is really needed despite reading and searching. I also can't find anycut in the google store. I can find several icon packages for it, but not the app itself.

If someone can simply help me understand what has changed, and what is needed for that change, it would be great. I have a Galaxy S Fascinate on Verizon that I want to flash to MetroPCS. Going to use a working MetroPCS phone for any donor numbers.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] laser979:
I've had it for a while now and recently flashed the rom with the latest update from HTC which was Sense 2.1 I think. It's a little sluggish but I've been seeing nightmare posts about others using droid roms and having major issues with the Rhodium.

I'd like to find something that runs a little smoother and takes a little load off the ram.

Any suggestions?:confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Doubtful RAM is the issue, but the Sense 2.1 (rosie) build hasn't been updated since April as I recall. Check out this build. Newest reference build, just grab the appropriate startup.txt.

Hey,which GPS software is good for G.Tab??Beside the stock GPS provide by TAB??
[Galaxy Tab General] ajrogers111:
I have a tab on order but haven't gotten it yet. However, I have used copilot live on my g1, original mytouch, behold 2, and on my vibrant, and it works very well. It isn't free, but you download the maps to your sd card, so the gps works whether you have a data connection Or not... even in airplane mode.
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
I use NavDroyd From the market. It costs about $6 USD but well worth the money. Its not as feature filled at the big name packages, but serves my purposes well. It includes global map that you can download regions partially or in full. My only complaint is that it doesn't have street address info to search on, so I plan ahead and do it in Google Maps, then set a pin to the address in NavDroyd.

Another minor annoyance is it doesn't navigate you down one way roads properly. I found out the hard way in Manhattan last week :)

I still love it though. It gets updated often and keeps getting better.
[Galaxy Tab General] cmloo:
I beleive for asean region. . . PAPAGO X5 is the only one good to go. However the navigation seems to be a bit out for our Tab. It brings u all over the place instead of a straight road. I am wondering why becos on another Android device it works well. All settings are the same
[Galaxy Tab General] n-j-f:
I've tried CoPilot and Sygic Mobile Maps 10 in the UK and CoPilot wins hands down between the two. Sygic does not scale properly on the Tab and isn't designed to use the soft keys for Menu etc. CoPilot looks excellent on the large screen.
[Galaxy Tab General] piero60:
try sygic aura 2.o its work perfectly on gtab
[Galaxy Tab General] n-j-f:
I didn't realise Aura was now available for Android. I might take a look at that.
[Galaxy Tab General] Technomancer:
I got Copilot Live 8 working last night. Looks quite good but it is rather slow, at least feels slower than on N1.
[Galaxy Tab General] ajrogers111:
Just saw that copilot live has done special pricing for thanksgiving... north american version is 9.99, and the usa only version is just 2.99(i paid 29.99 for my copy of the NA maps 2 years ago)... I went ahead and bought the usa version last night even though I already have the north america version for my vibrant so that I can run one on my tab when I get it, and still be able to use the other on my vibrant... I've been happy with it on all of my android phones so far, I hope it runs as nicely on the tab...
[Galaxy Tab General] sanderh:
tested copilot on the tab yet?
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
I saw this too - since I'm heading to Florida for a few weeks early next year, I bought the USA version. I've been using Copilot since it came out for Android and I think it's fantastic. At that price, words fail me!

[Galaxy Tab General] kuplet:
Hmm can you use paypal to pay for Co-pilot?
[Galaxy Tab General] alwayslearning:
I've been using Navigon in the US and it works very well on the tab
[Galaxy Tab General] sedde:
Now that you guys mentioned GPS programs for the tab, i will be going to the states for a month and a half ( yes really good vacations ), and since i am based on greece, i want a gps program that i can pre-cache maps on it without using my data plan since we all know that roaming charges are over the roof.

So i was watching closely at Google Maps that a user called Brut, modified and it supposedly run pre-cached maps on all zoom levels 0-14 from andnav and you can even download the tiles and put them on the sdcard and have them.

Well i dont really wanna bother the dudes at his thread because its somehow 300+ pages, and i wanna ask if someone else used it because i am gonna try it and see if it works.

Any help is appreciated.

I'll be trialing Aura, it comes with a free 7 day trial.
[Galaxy Tab General] Segnale007:
I am also trying Aura, so far so good. I think I am gonna purchase it ..
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
Copilot USA is $2.99 in the Market!

Just buy it whilst it's that cheap as it won't stay at that price for long (Thanksgiving sale).

[Galaxy Tab General] TX2000:
i use aura and it is working well. i use it @ Puerto Rico and the map is up to date
[Galaxy Tab General] sedde:
It can pre-cache maps and use turn-by-turn directions ?
[Galaxy Tab General] vs2:
Strange thing happened to me.

I just got a german SGT and D/L latest firmware (via kies - XXJK5)

I installed a Navigon .apk that I found somewhere and it automatically D/L'd and installed all the maps for Australia and NZ for free. Nice app as well.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
It doesn't use the internet at all - all the maps are downloaded to your SD card.

It's a full commercial turn-by-turn navigation solution.

Igo My Way for Android

I used the Igo8 on my dedicated GPS for years. Great Program.

I have used Copilot for years on WinMo, but only Google Navigation on my EVO. Tried to buy, download and install Copilot Android from market to Gtab, but it won't activate (throws error at end and tells me the trial period expired????).
