on the notification bar where it says verizon wireless are we able to change it?
There is an app for it in the market but its paid

do you know the name of it? its not ninjamorph or metamorph is it? on the DX i can use just the 7zip and hed edition but i did the same on the incredible but there wasn't a verizon wireless section...
I kinda want to know how to do this too. I've read in the evo forum of people using CDMA Workshop to edit a banner field somewhere that says "Sprint", but the field is empty on the D Inc. I didn't try writing anything in though; since it was already empty I didn't want to mess with it.

Qstp to edit your prl file will do it.

I tried QPST just now as well. It has the same result as CDMA Workshop where there is a "Banner" field, but it is also empty and there is nothing else that says "Verizon Wireless" anywhere. I'm afraid to fill something in and cause a conflict with whatever is displaying "Verizon Wireless". Wouldn't want to brick my phone over something small like that.

On the verizon network, that banner is actually sent by the network to our handsets, at least according to all I've read. So I don't think it's possible for us to modify it through any mod of files on the device itself...

Delete all spaces in the above link in order to use it
Scroll down and you'll see the PRL.zip file

Be careful tho. I have heard stories of others running non verizon PRLs, like sprint, (not so much altell because verizon bought them out) which have been caught and have been charged ridiculous amounts of fines for doing so

i wanted people To see it work but there is still more to the puzzle like data I'm sure this was not the only way to write a prl to the phone and can't wait to get my hands on another one as the one I had was a customers dat had took it to 3 cricket store already and was giving the run around about how its impossible to flash it took all of a hour to get it talk and text flash with a little more time I'm sure I could have got data
Could one potentially use part of this to safely change their PRL only? i.e. putting a corporate PRL on the phone?
EDIT: It seems to have worked.
Yes You can use this To put any prl You want even tho u rename it test it still Will show the verison in about

Whoa, what happened to your original post?
So even though this is a 4g lte phone, it is able to be flashed to metropcs? Currently i have the evo 3d flashed to metro and I wanted to get the galaxy nexus. But I wasn't sure if the sprint version could be flashed or not.

It is flashable to metropcs? I read somewhere that the sprint one is a qualcom based phone. How do you know forsure? They said it has the qualcom sticker in it when you buy it
It can be flash to metropcs

If i was to buy a sprint galaxy nexus and go to any metropcs, they would be able to flash it and get talk and text with their program of houdini? or you have to use a different program in order to flash it?
As of right now no houdini Will not work You can check there website tho

Metro PC's is a joke
You are better off looking on Craigslist find someone who has a store (preferably)
Why?
Because even in the event they do do it you will probably only get talk and text.Usually no mms or web
An independent retailer will most likely get the job done better.

How would you get the ESN into MetroPCS's inventory if there's NO MORE Houdini and being that it's a ESN beginning with 99XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX?
PM if needed! Thanks!

No one can flash this at all. Is there/Will there be software? So that it can be flashed to cricket. This is what I wanted. Now I guess I will put the phone on craigslist. Any insight.
What about another phone similar like nexus s
I have been kicking myself for a week now trying to get a Nexus on cricket and I have been getting nowhere. Its their international phone and it works when I put a sim card in it from AT&T and T-Mobile but no such luck with Cricket.
Sorry about the hi jack. But the site video said if I can't find the exact answer that I'm looking for I should find one close to it and post it in there.
The phone is mod GT: i9020T Google Nexus S
Thanks in advance.
You can only flash a CDMA phone to Cricket or MetroPCS the i9050T is a GSM phone.. if it uses a sim card it wont work...
might have been said already but i was wanting to change my prl to get faster data speeds while roaming at home. 1x isnt cutting it! I was reading in another thread something about EPST.apk? maybe for different phones not sure.. Im on cm9a4 and currently use roam control to roam.

Good question... I never thought to ask since it is such a specialized procedure I figured that was the only way to do it. I would love to be able to switch it in and our on the fly. Lol

most phones you can.. but on this one i dont think so, I havent been able to figure it out.. there is no ##prl# and it isnt in the epst program either..
There is no way to change prl from just the phone, sorry.
Korey's thread in general section has step by step how to do it with qpst program.

I generally stick with PRL 01115, which grants 3G roaming in most areas, paired with Roam Control to force roaming if I absolutely need it.
I had a hd2, but I bought my friends tmo samsung galaxy s2. At the moment I can only access the internet through wifi, when I try to go online with just the phone with my plan it comes up.. your data plan does not support this device. Anyway I can get around that and still be able to use my 3g data with this phone or do I have to actually update my plan to 4g for this phone in order to get data again?
Have you tried going into advanced settings and turning off 4g? The settings would be accessible from the phone dial pad with a particular code.... Something like *#0011# I can't remember the exact code but if you poke around for it I'm sure it's been posted before.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
edit. Just thought about it for another second... You would probably have to tell the phone to use edge only. Not sure it would work, but I am sure it would suck. I would look for it in the settings, but if my girl woke up and I was rummaging through her phone I might look like a creep.
Hmm you must be on the old grandfather data plan. TMobile blocks any of their 4g devices from utilizing it. If you want to continue using your old data plan you would need the telus version i think. I know this is true with the sensation and amaze, possibly other phones too...basically any non TMobile branded phone.

In the united states, last I've read, is that they just fine you a hefty fine. And I think getting banned from whichever carrier you were using. It's not like you go to jail. Unless something gas changed.

I would try the different apn people use to get around throttling; in the Hd2 days, data was 3 different packages: smartphone (windows devices), G1 (which would eventually become Android), and BlackBerry; if you mismatched them, your data would be touch and go at best.
Back then it was an easy fix; to do so now, you'd have to have them change your plan to the new ones WHICH WILL EXTEND YOUR CONTRACT LENGTH but will not affect your upgrade eligibility.
The hd2 is still such an amazing phone.
Is there anything you can do to make my inc work on metro pcs network?
I just gave my friend my old inc because i have no use for it after i upgraded to rezound, and he doesn't want to get verizon because of the contract. He went to metro pcs and asked if he can joing their network with my inc, and they told him that he has to go somewhere and flash something on the phone for $80, and then they can do it.
and so i came here to ask around, maybe i can do it myself somehow

Well you need a donor phone already activated on metro. You then need to use a pc program called qpst to change the esn and other network settings of the inc, to the esn and network settings of the donor phone. You then need to flash a metro prl to the inc. This is just to give you a general idea of what needs to be done and what you will need. When i find the actual guide i will post it here for you.
EDIT: I cant find the thread on xda, but from looking around google it seems all you need to do is flash a metro prl. This will allow metro to connect to and program the inc with the correct network settings. You still need the qpst program to change the prl, and you also need to find a metro prl. I want to flash my inc to straight talk so i am going to be doing some serious googling on the subject.
