so i flashed my htc touch vogue with nsfans rom, i went to metro pcs to add my phone to my line, they couldnt get the phone into programming mode through the dial pad, so the associate asked if i could revert the phone back to original settings which is fine i can add the original sprint rom, butt when the phone is activated can i flash back to the custom rom and if so will all my metro pcs information be there so its still a usable phone, again any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you to all who are on these forums helping out folks who need it
Good to Go
Once activated, you'll be able to continue to use your phone when you do switch to the newer ROM.
GO!
thank you very much
The only reason you will have to reactivate your phone would be if you change your radio. Other than that, as long as you don't mess with the radio, you won't have to reactiviate/reauthenticate your phone.
got the phone workin with metro pcs, flashed the new rom nsfans 6.1 now if i could figure out the settings to change to get my internet working i would be in great shape, i must not understand this and think im going to have to have someone walk me through it but again thank you to all

I have recently updated to the Alltel GPS Rev A Rom. I have not been able to get the GPS working on my phone (Bell Canada Network). I am going to keep trying but I am wondering if I were to go back to my ROM that I downloaded specifically for Bell, how would I do that? I have been told it is difficult to Flash back to a previous ROM. I am also a little nervous, when I connect to the internet on my phone instead of connecting through the BEll network. It says it is connecting to the Alltel network. Will this affect my billing? Maybve I should flash back my original ROM and wait for a Bell official release. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
It is only a name on the connection. You are still connected to bell.
It takes a few minutes to get a lock....it is not uncommon to wait 2-5 minutes.
For myself, I use the 3.35 radio and I get my connection within 2 minutes most of the time with google map and igo

If you're getting paranoid seeing the AllTel Logo, just flash it to JD's 6.1 ROM and that will solve your problem. When it comes to the GPS, just make sure you followed all the instructions right for the GPS settings and for sure that will fix it. Just add a little patience with it.
With my Bell Touch everything is running smooth and awesome! its really worth doing the ROM upgrade!

Thanx for the advice, I actually ended up finding a ROM made for Bell at PPCgeeks (I don't remember the link). works like a dream. And again you were right, it was just a matter of being patient. I let it sit for a few minutes and it started to pick up my location. Thanx for you help guys!!
Questions from a Newbie!
This is the first thread I have found that pertains to The Bell Network here in Canada. I have the HTC Touch and from what I have been reading that it IS possible to get the GPS feature activated in the Touch. My concern is I dont want to pooch my phone as I dont have a regular home phone...the touch is all I have. I want to unlock this feature but I need someone to walk me through the steps. It would be nice to also have someone post likes to the files that I will need to unlock the GPS on my Bell HTC Touch.
I hope that someone will respond and take the time to explain this to me...thanks in advance
Help Please
I think I may have pooched my Bell HTC Touch. I updated the ROM....however it was a Sprint ROM v 3.03.651.2 and the Radio is 3.42.30. It works perfectly as a cell phone but I can not connect to the internet to surf. When I try using INternet Explorer it says ...connecting to Sprint PCS....and it does not work, I tried loading the correct ROM for Bell ( v. 1.19.666.1) ....but it will not let me do it.
Can anyone tell me how to fix my phone?!! ARGH!!!!
I upgrade my 3450 and my phone when going to start all the time make restart in the begin (smart mobility )logo
Maybe somebody know why
Thanx
It is just from the type of ROM you used. I have flashed my device and it has come up with Sprint, and Alltel logos. Does not mean anything, just that you used a ROM designed for those networks.
Hope that helps.
Hello everyone.
I have a Sprint EVO 4G and it has S-OFF so I flashed it to 2.2 and used Rom Manager to put the stock 2.3.3 rooted deodexed onto it then went to Metro PCS and had them flash it over which they did for $10 then the guy could not get into the NAM setting to put my new phone number ect into the phone. He said usualy all they have to do is 000000 to get into the settings he called the metro techs and they said to reflash it which he did anyway by the end of this he asked me if I knew how to get into the settings which is what brings me here. He refunded my activation and kept the $10 for the flash. I kinow if anyoine can help me it's you guys. Thanks
Adam
OH YEA & P.S. to save another thread should anyone have the answer to this and I get this working on Metro (calls and texts only) can you either direct me to a thread to get the internet 3g and MMS working or give me the steps. Thanks again

I had this happen to me the first time I tried to "Metroflash" my Evo. I went to three different stores thinking it was the operator, not knowing that when I flashed and rooted the evo, metro pcs could not set it up on their Houdini system. I went bare bones via hard reset (stock rom) and voila, metro got it on their system.
I followed this guide by Bloodykiller after it was rooted. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795182
Again, this is what worked for me. Hope this helps.

Hey. I have an Ntelos Showcase also. Unfortuately I accidenly flashed a US Cellular ROM onto it and screwed it all up. I have an NTELOS or supposedly NTELOS rom back on it now but cant get data to work. Can u do ##data# on your phone and look to see what your user name is? i think its phone#@ntelospcs.net but im not sure. Any settings you can gather for me would be appreciated! or even if u know how to make a rom image from your phone so I can flash back onto mine.

Can someone point me in a direction on how to flash phones to ntelos i know u need cdma workshop and the other one qpst or whatever and u need the prl and meid i think it is but im still not sure what all to do! i am on limited income and need to go to pre paid right now i have a sprint evo 4g id like to start with that one! also is it pretty much the same for every phone? so if i figure out the evo 4g will the other phone i buy for my girl be the same? are lte phones different to flash? Thanks to anyone who will help me!
i recently flashed my samsung epic 4g to metro pcs and everything works except for mms (even the internet). the phone is also rooted but i am afraid to put a rom on it because i heard that there is a chance it could lose its flash. i am running android 2.3.5 and gingerbread.ei22. is there a metro pcs friendly rom out there?? thanks
From what I have heard, flashing another rom causes the phone to lose its MetroPCS flash. I hope someone can prove me wrong as I am trying to flash my Epic over to MetroPCS as well.
Also, out of curiosty, did you use this guide --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192128 to flash it over to MetroPCS?
yes
that is the guide i used, but you will still need to add your esn to metropcs's inventory. how? idk. but i ended up paying to get it flashed. they should knock a few bucks off since you did most of it. oh and if you follow the guide correctly and get it flashed by a store you shouldnt pay for internet just get regular talk and text because when i got mine flashed thats what they did and i still got internet for free. mms doesnt work though. hope i helped
edit: i also heard you can make a backup, flash the rom and if you dont have service restore and never do it again but im to afraid to risk losing it. if you try it (i dont recommend it) and it works please send a link to the rom. Thanks
