need help for cricket internet!!!! asap

as i stated in an earlier post i have what once was a telus issued htc touch p3050 which i have been informed is the same as a 6900. i took my phone to a local phone flasher and was given back a partially flashed phone. to make outgoing and recieve incoming phone calls the phone works great!! however when i try to connect to the internet... i follow all the setup rules of the wap.cricket.com, [email protected], and port 8080 etc...
when i try to connect it tells me i have a bad username or password.
the phone attempts to dial the #777 too.
ok now here are some mitigating factors i should tell u about...
-when i soft reset the phone i get an alltel slash screen even tho the phone operates on the cricket network.
-when i go into the settings to futz with the internet settings i also get choices for an alltel phone.
-and as told earlier by a few folks i checked in my pst settings and my phone is in fact already on the simple ip settings...
please help!!!!
i really want and need internet!!!
i would be willing to try and reflash the phone with another rom but i can't get the qpst to recognize my phone... cuz it only allows me to open one additional port in addition to the two that already exist...i keep getting a port busy error...
thanks in advance!!!

you realy need to just flash it yourself with a new rom... check your radio (3.35 & up) and then switch to one of vetvito's roms. after you flash it remember to set the phone todiag mode (##3424) so qpst will see it. you might need to change the port via the device manager. make sure you have the drivers you need (ppc6700 drives work fine)... Do ur *228 stuff after you change the spc to all 0's. if ever in doubt ##778 to check your epst settings. for internet, setup ur modem & proxy in the connection manager. be sure to use your real number and "cricket" as the pw. This is not a full walkthough, but the just main points you need to touch on.
good luck

make sure all ur epst settings are correct...check and see if u have the newest prl uploaded 1050 i believe is the new evdo one...also go to select networks in the connections/connections/advanced and make them all to the one u want to connect through

do u know where i can get the new prl. i installed the 1040 and its only 1X

Cricket on HTC Apache PPC6700
I have the PRL loaded. Internet is a b*tch! Every time I do a soft reset, the sprint connections come back. Then I have to delete the Sprint one, and goto the wap.... whatever whatever site to get it on the internet. And its only 1X. Here is a link to PRL's. http://corolada.com/prl/
If ANYONE out there is willing to make me a Cricket rom for my 6700 Apache, you will be my best friend. It would be nice to not have to load a random PRL every time i hard reset my phone and mess with connections forever just to get slow as heck 1X speeds. If you can, just make a rapidshare link to the exe. Helmi's WM6 rom is bad and doesn't work right. And I don't know how to use BuildOS and my friend has used it several times on his VZW apache. But it won't work right for some reason. All I am asking for is a rom or cab or something to get internet to work. i don't even care that much about mms. even tough it would be nice

@tbananaz: Go to Howardforums.com under the cricket forum and looks for To0's V2 ROM for the 6900. You might have to PM him for it. Out of the box its has everything for cricket aside from changing a few things under EPST. The easiest way to get your phone working with everything with Cricket.
@disturb3d1: Your best bet for the 6700 would be to build a ROM for yourself for Cricket. Download PPCkitchen and make one. Its pretty straightforward and has everything including Crickets OEM info. So you don't have to mess with any other carriers settings.
If you any of you need help let me know. 8)

A "Pro" Flashing my Epic 4G to Metro

Bought an Epic 4G Touch and found a local guy on craigslist who's going to do a full flash to MetroPCS. I'm wondering if anybody has any suggestions as to what questions I should ask the guy. I'm new to this whole thing, this is my first smart phone, but I'm a quick learner.
From what I understand from my research, he's going to have to flash a custom rom on it in order for the phone's features to be fully operational. Is it important I find out which rom so I can perform my own updates, or is it going to be obvious what he did simply by looking in the settings?
Am I going to have to avoid OTA updates? Or do I just install Rootkeeper to get the updates?
I also assume that by doing this I will be stuck using the custom rom, right? Or as long as my ESN is added to the Metro system I can change it to any rom I can find that is fully operational with Metro?
Is there any other vital information I should make sure to ask for in case I need to configure anything in the future?
Would it be smarter for me to just ask him to add my ESN to metro and then flash it myself? (If I can find a guide online-- links, anybody?)
Feel free to add any information that you think might help!
Thanks in advance.

its pretty much about manually programming in your data settings 100% correctly. anyone can add an meid/esn into their database and program in your phone number(##SPC#). if you research online you can find the exact settings. i dont believe metro uses wap anymore so that certainly makes things easier.
you should be able to use ANY rom and be able to call/text/use data. the only issue you will run into(maybe.. i dont use metro) would be mms. mms sometimes is custom built for a specific phone/carrier. when you see metro/cricket custom roms.. thats generally the big modification.. the mms. you may get some little edits here and there.. changing the word sprint to metro etc... but otherwise thats pretty much it. as is.. the epic 4g touch can be manually programmed with any cdma carriers data profiles for 3g.
if you dont care about mms.. its a 100% no brainer.. take the time and do it yourself. if mms is a must.. do a little research to see if others on metro got mms working.. there will be people talking about it somewhere on the internet.
and just to add.. if u do use a custom rom for metro.. you will be stuck with that rom(unless its a freely available custom rom.. but those are rare these days.. most are sold on cdma forums for lots of $$$).

I will preface this with I've never done this before so I don't know the outcome. That said, at least in my area, the 4g is not compatible with lte, metro doesn't have 3g but 2g rttx1 should work. I don't know about you but if it were me, I wouldn't do it. That's like putting a restricting device on a Porsche so that its top speed is 30mph. 2g is practically dial up speeds. Do what you will though...

Thanks so much, great information. Question- Do you mean I can add my own ESN into the Metro Database myself? I thought only Metro reps could do that (independent ones for under the table).
As for the rest of the data settings, when searching for this information online, do I need to look specifically for Epic 4g Touch, or the data settings will be the same no matter what phone?

Actually I don't care about mms, as long as I can do regular text messages (sms). Does this mean that if I don't care for MMS I can actually get the Epic Touch fully operational on the stock rom?

So I couldn't re-flash it to a different rom? It's not "reversible"? (If it is possible- would I lose all the Metro data if I changed the rom?)
Thanks for the help, I've been Googling around like crazy trying to find more info, but not finding a lot. I probably should of gotten a more commonly metro flashed phone, lol. I'll keep looking around and see if I can find any guides, if I find one and can do everything myself I'd rather go that route (not to save money, just to be able to troubleshoot any issues that may arise in the future).
Edit: I've found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8395950 that looks like it might be exactly what I need to do (up to step 28), and someone on this Epic Touch Forum recommended another member to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1303507 but it's for Evo 3D, so not sure if it would work for the Epic. The guide starts off for phones already "flashed to metro with text and talk", though. I think I still need to pay the "Pro" to get my ESN added to the Metro Network? Are they able to add the ESN to the Metro Database and get text/talk working without flashing a custom rom?
Sorry... so many questions. I'll give lots of thanks =(
EDIT #2:
Think I got it now. Looks like I will need to get the phone Metro Flashed through my guy for talk and text (I can ask if his MMS/Web method involves a custom rom, if so I'll pass) then I can activate web (and MMS I guess) myself through these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1303507
At this point (correct me if I'm wrong) I won't be locked into any custom roms and I can freely upgrade to any freely available rom (ie CM7) without affecting my Metro settings?

really not sure what the best procedure is for getting your esn added to the DB.. i would think any 3rd party metro store would be able to add it into system... as well as some people on craigslist. just look for the cheapest option.
once your esn ins in the system.. you pick a plan.. program in your phone number and msid (##SPC#) as well as write a metro PRL to the phone... and thats it for working talk/text. thats the "basic flash" most people do. only thing you cant do yourself is add meid.
and then you will eventually program data. the steps for evo 3d should be very similar to epic. other than how to get the phones into DIAG mode.. what to manually add is the same across the board... tho your username/password will be unique to you. (ppp password is based off esn.. username will be based on phonenumber).
i believe metro has recently added 3G in SOME areas.. so theres a small chance youll have that. and as for 4G... see my epic 4g touch thread on how to edit wimax settings...
ive said enough.. you should be able to take it from here.
edit: as for being "stuck" with a custom metro rom.. youd have the option to reflash anything youd like.. but the custom metro settings would probably no longer work. it would suck to pay for a custom rom that you end up wanted to switch out anyway(since it wouldnt be updated like he rest of the roms). i say pay the $10.. 15..20.. whatever it is to have esn added to the system.. then do the rest yourself.

If you search on ebay. There is a guy that can add your esn to metro for $25. Then you can flash your own custom rom, but you would have to setup your own data. If you search around, there are threads about how to setup data for metropcs around the web.

Ran outta thanks, I'll get you tomorrow
I looked it up on ebay and there's only a couple up atm and they end up being a lot, ie the cheapest is $20 but then they charge $25 shipping lol <.<
Luckily, the local guy I found on Craigslist (there are actually a lot independent metro stores in the area advertising actually) will add ESN and get talk & text working for $35. So it's not a bad deal. From there I'll get the rest working myself.
Although I'm gonna ask him about his MMS method, if it involves a custom rom I have been contemplating getting it. I been researching and it looks like all I have to do is backup the custom rom with nandroid, and I can flash to whatever rom I want, then I can always revert to the custom rom if I really want MMS working again-- if I'm unable to get it working myself.

My used Epic 4G Touch arrives in a few hours!
First thing I plan on doing is a full restore and then installing EL13+CWM. After this I'll get take it to the independent Metro store to get it flashed over to Metro. Then I'll make my first nandroid backup.
Question- By making the nandroid backup I can always revert back to the Metro data settings my guy configured, right? (In the case they get deleted through rom flashing).
Can I see all the settings he configured by reading the values set through CDMA Workshop? Would this include everything needed to make the phone fully functional on Metro again (outside of the possible custom rom to make MMS work)?
Thanks in advance.

nandroid wont restore data settings... but you wont need to as 3g data profiles(as well as talk/text) stick after new roms. only a ##786# full reset will wipe those settings.
you should be able to see most if not all settings with cdma ws/qpst service programming.
1. Phone number/msid has to be programmed.
2. Metro PRL Flashed
3. after step two you now have talk/text.
4. Program in 3G Profile 0/1.
5. Program PPP data profile.
6. Done. Only thing I skipped is MMS.. which will most likely be covered by a custom metro rom.. tho maybe you could take the mms ap out of the custom rom to use... but im just guessing at this point.

yes it is possible to change an meid... but i'm not sure why ##MSL# is mentioned... the two are not related.

Hmmm... I'm stuck on this step :
USB Storage Mode is OFF - [Drag down the notification bar and tap on "USB Connected" - should be off by default]
When I click on USB Connected it just sends me back to Home. Any ideas?
(Step 1 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728)
EDIT: figured it out, had to re-install drivers and change the default location to 32-bit
Nope, still no go... Hmm Maybe I'll uninstall drivers and reinstall them. Problem is my PC isn't recognizing phone as a drive, just a device.
Yeah I dunno, gonna give up installing EL13+CWM for now and go get it flashed.
I think the problem is, when I connect the device I get "Samsung Mobile MTP Device Failed"
I downloaded the Samsung USB/Android drivers [USB/Android] and have Kies installed (Kies can't even recognize it though).

Maybe you need USB debugging enabled by going to Settings > Applications > Development

Thanks, but no go. Have debugging checked. (I followed the tutorials to the letter)

youre trying to root?

I successfully rooted with the full restore, what I tried to do next was install EL13+CWM and I noticed 2 things:
1st) I can't get past this step: USB Storage Mode is OFF - [Drag down the notification bar and tap on "USB Connected" - should be off by default - pic] (ie when I tap on "USB Connected" it just takes me back to the home screen.
2nd) I continued with the tutorial since it says it should be set correctly as default, but then when the E4GT automated rooting package (not to root, but to install EL13+CWM) it hangs saying "Waiting for device to be connected"
When looking for an answer I discovered this:Why is the install stuck waiting for device to be connected? which gave me some ideas to try, although I've tried all of them to no avail.
I should note that when I go to start->run->devmgmt.msc this:
Code:
Android Phone
SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface
Modem
SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem
isn't listed there, like it says it should here.
I think I'm going to try to reinstall all the drivers again... Should I do this before or after connected the phone? (The first time I installed the USB/Android drivers from the tutorial before connecting my phone, but I notice after connecting the phone windows goes through the automated process of installing drivers)

<face palm>
http://androidadvices.com/enable-usb-storage-android-devices/
It was so simple, lol... To my own defense this wasn't anywhere in the tutorials
Thanks again for the help guys
EDIT: Well, looks like my problem is still here, the E4GT automated rooting package still hangs searching for device to be connected.
EDIT #2: Omg... Finally figured it out. I thought debugging was enabled (it shows a freakin' check mark) but it has to be a green check mark apparently...
Weee installed CWM, now to create a nandroid and start flashing! Think I'm going for Calkulin's rom with the ICS Theme

Another question!
Hey guys, question:
I got 2 E4GT's flashed over to MetroPCS, both are working fine, but one of them gives me this error on bootup:
Code:
Error 67: Registration failure. Your Sprint data service username
and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again.
Any ideas? Aside from the nuisance, it hasn't seemed to cause any hindrance to the features. The other phone has never given this error, though. Both are running on Calk's rom. Thx guys.

if its only at bootup i wouldnt worry too much. its just the firmware trying to get a sprint connection and it failing.. since youre connected to metro. i would check ##data# > view > data profile/username.. compare whats listed for the one thats working to the one thats giving the error. are they both the same? if not, make them the same and perhaps you can avoid the error. if they are the same... its probably some little data setting somewhere that the phone doesnt like and likely not worth the hassle of poking at it more. like i first said.. the error at boot really isnt a huge deal. if it was a constant error that kept popping up then its something to look at.

[Q] Need help getting an EVO on MetroPCS...

Hi all,
Thanks for a least looking at this thread and providing feedback. So here is my situation.
1. Bought EVO 4g from a friend who bought new phone and transferred his phone number from Sprint to Verizon so the phone does not have access to Sprint's network.
2. My wife has a crappy MetroPCS phone I would like to replace with the EVO 4g.
3. I have all the software that has been talked about in many threads here: diagnosis drivers, cdma workshop, prl, and a few other things which I can't remember.
4. I have rooted the phone with S-OFF and currently running MetrogenMod 4.5
Q1: Does the phone need to be on the Sprint network in order for me to get the phone working on MetroPCS?
Q2: After reading all of the forums it sounds like the phone will magically work on MetroPCS' network, but something tells me I'm missing something?
Q3: How do I get my wife's phone number transferred over to this phone? It seems I can only transfer the current phone number that the phone has even though it is not mine.
Thanks again in advance and I apologize if these questions have been asked before, but I did not see any.
Jamdev12
PS: Ok after reading and getting familiar with this stuff it seems there are two ways of doing this, but I rather get some expertise from someone first :
1. Easiest method. Call MetroPCS and request an ESN swap. Since I own both phones I don't foresee this as illegal and I've heard of people successfully getting this done.
2. Hardest method and possibly bricking the phone. Call Sprint and request MLS number. Then use the software that is available to get ESN from old phone and write it to the new phone. If done right, the new phone will act and connect as if it were the old phone.
To all, am I correct in the above assumptions?

You shouldn't need to call sprint for your msl..search the play store for "msl reader". It'll save you that hassle anyways. ....Did a quick search and found this guide over on af.. http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/538899-guide-metro-pcs-donor-flash.html .. I flashed to boost so thats the extent of my experience. Hope it helps.

Hi nrvlljr,
Thanks for the encouragement. Unfortunately it did not work for me. For some reason the phone is unable to log into the MetroPCS network as my old phone. One thing that confused me about the instructions was to save the nam1 and Nam2 data for my old phone because not once after that did I use this data to reprogram the new phone. All it says is to replace the ESN and meid numbers in the nvm folder and reboot.
Next I tried the MetroPCS tutorial in the developer forum to get MetroPCS working, ROM and everything without success. I'm able to connect via roaming, but not on my current phone number.
Anyways, if you or anyone here has any ideas, I would gladly appreciate it. At least the phone is not bricked, yet.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, so after more fiddling, I was able to get Data working, but no talk and text. To get data working, I had to run DFS to import the latest PRL from MetroPCS into the phone. Once I did that and rebooted the phone, 3G started to work, but still could not get Talk and Text to work.
Then I did the worst thing that I could have done, I think. I order for me to get Talk and Text working, I took the phone to a MetroPCS. Well, I let them run the phone through Houdini and now Talk and Text work, but I can't get 3G to work even though I have a plan that has Talk, Text and Data and I have reloaded the MetroPCS PRL in the phone.
Has anyone ran into this problem? Would I have to get my phone off the MetroPCS database in order for me to get 3G running again? Any help would be gladly appreciated.

Hello, I, new here..
I have literally tried everything i have read from forum to forum, post to post, from installing DIAG drivers to QPST, apn, anycut, everything i have found and cannot make my EVO to connect to the web. My sister had this phone fully working (except 4G) and now that i transferred it to my account i make calls and text but not MMS or WEB. less 3G. I am very frustrated but willing to keep on reading instructions if anyone would be able to help!!. Thank you very much and you guys are doing a very great job. miraculously i am obtaining knowledge i never even though it existed! unfortunately havent being able to solve my problem.

What kind of phone did you use for the donor flash? I had this problem with my old evo 4g. I had it donor flashed from a freeform 1. Even though I was paying for 3g the evo didnt get it. I assumed it was because my freeform didnt have 3g so the ESN being read by the network on my evo didnt require it to send 3g data. Just a guess

[Q] Flashing evo to boost wont activate no phone #

Hello everyone.
I am a noob so please be gentle Ok here goes. I believe i have pretty much got my phone flashed. Meid and esn all took spc also took, By took I mean the Evo has the info from my donor now. so on the last step where I reboot it said it should do a hands free update, but when it tries it keeps saying unable to connect to network. So I tried just for the heck of it to dial 611, and see if I could get boost care. All I got was the same message I got before I began the flash. I assume it is a sprint error. something about error code 16 . Also I noticed when I was checking the phones meid ect that under phone number there is justt Zeros with 24 at the end I believe. So if anyone has any info on what I should do next thank you in advance.

I am a noob so please be gentle Ok here goes. I believe i have pretty much got my phone flashed. Meid and esn all took spc also took, By took I mean the Evo has the info from my donor now. so on the last step where I reboot it said it should do a hands free update, but when it tries it keeps saying unable to connect to network. So I tried just for the heck of it to dial 611, and see if I could get boost care. All I got was the same message I got before I began the flash. I assume it is a sprint error. something about error code 16 . Also I noticed when I was checking the phones meid ect that under phone number there is justt Zeros with 24 at the end I believe. So if anyone has any info on what I should do next thank you in advance.

Is your wifi on? If so, turn it off and reboot. I had this same problem when switching my EVO over to Ting. The wifi conflicts with the radio trying to switch carriers.

Yeah the wifi is off, but thanks for trying. I called boost and gave them the bit about having issues, and they said they reset system, but who knows. If I try to wait after the code when I try calling out it just disconnects me. Right now I deactivated the donor, and will reactivate it when I get a answer that may work.

Sounds like a pain. Dunno about Boost Mobile. Never tried them. When I switched over to Ting the wifi was the only problem I had. Best of luck man.

As long as you are positive MEId is correct you should be able to do a ##786# reset, changing SPC/MSL to match donor is not needed btw. If you are still not able to do an OTA activation after ##786# , then you can always manually enter the needed info to make voice and text work. Just press ##123456# (123456 is your MSL) select edit or whatever and then in first pop up enter your phone number and in second pop up enter your MSID. Then hit ok and phone should reboot and voice and text should work then, if not let me know and I will help you get it up and running.
Hope this helps...

Thanks for the info I will keep it in mind for the future. I sat down at my other pc, and redid the whole flash, and it worked this time. I had 2 numbers backwards I think. Now how do I know which root I need to do? I see there is a couple different ones. Thanks for any info in advance.

Yes I have Read Those several Times. But its a No Go. (Samsung Replenish & Htc Evo ) Are The Phones Im Working With.
I Have All The NV Files But When I enter them Into The Phone It Does Not Work.
I Had The Phone On With A HTC Touch Pro 1 but just activated it before I knew about getting the ha aaa first. So I only Had 1X. But When I Turn the Pro Back On I Couldnt get the Evo To Work Again. So I Switched To the Samsung But it never has Activated the Evo Since.
Im Wordering if I should Go back to stock RUU Then Put in all The Ha aaa's The Try The OTA Again.

Well I Did manage to get my evo working, it still has some bugs... For some reason the phone goes to a sleep mode or something and when someone calls me it goes straight to voice mail, also I don't receive my text messages sometimes for 20 to 30 mins or hours after someone sends them. i can make a call & Then it seems to work right. I have had a few times where when I tried calling out it didn't seem to work either, I think it would go to there voice mail or say this call could not be completed or something. ( It doesn't do that very often)..
It Seems Like It has this problem of losing the network after I switch towers from one town to another or when I plug it in to a computer or charger but not for sure.
My internet seems to work always weather 3G or wifi though 3G sometimes is really slow untill I reboot my phone & seems to pick up for a while.
Thanks

Sounds like you might need to update your PRL. (either automatically or manually). Have you done that yet? You should update your data profile also while you're at it.
pm me if you need more

I having a similar problem with my phone, my phone does show 3g icon however I m only getting 130kbps. I been reading all over the internet until I found this post that shows that AAA key is phone specific and if not configure phone get stuck on 1x. I think that I might have changed this value by mistake, not sure, question is where can I find out the correct value for my Evo? Phone is flashed to carrrier in Dominican Republic, voice works fine. Carrier will not provide much help. Also if any one can advice of correct data configuration for this phone, what type of credentials I need, just to double check data configuration, as I stated carrier customer service will not provide much help. I am using DFS tool to update PRL, etc. Really appreciate any help on this!!!!

Well one solution would be to swap handsets on your account with your carrier to a phone that you'll be able to read all the required info from. Then read and save. Then write the correct info onto your Evo and switch handsets back. The downside to this is it requires you to have another phone... But it will work.
