Request: METROPCS ROM for Samsung Epic - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys can anyone please try to make a rom for metropcs that will have everything working like internet/ picturemail just after flashing the rom and updating the APN ????
i am willing to donate to whoever willing to help making this happen
thank you guys

You don't need a rom,. And all of the information about the carrier and device is not inside the roms. You should probably take a look at other threads about changing the phones carrier.

this should help some

i have set all the settings needed with the correct calculated password for metropcs web through qpst.
ipushed the u2nl, telephony, apn, autostart.apk, autostart.sh, but still not working.
i have the 3g bars going up and down but can't connect.
i tried 4 different rooted roms including stock but still i can't get it to work.
i even tried the metro3.0 and 3.5 patch that was made for the eris but still no go.
what else do i need to do?

there is got to be a way. There is guys charging $70 to flash it to metro.

I have never seen an epic 4g in metropcs with web working, and as long as I know, there is currently no know way to do it.

Holy thread resurrection Batman!!!

Moved to Q&A.

I was wondering if anyone could post a walk through on how to flash the Epic 4G to Metro PCS? Seems like the only phone that doesn't have one. I don't care how, video, text, whatever. I'm trying to save myself $140 bucks.

try this

[REQUEST] Wifi Calling Patch for AOKP/CM?

Okay, so my mouth has been watering over AOKP since it came out. I love the build, but I can't use it at my house due to its lack of Wifi Calling. I've tried pulling the apk from stock Touchwiz, but to no avail. I didn't expect that to work, but its all I could think of. Would it be possible to create a patch to flash on AOSP ROMs that would allow for wifi calling? I've seen it implemented in CM7 on the HTC Espresso, (a device where the last official HTC release was froyo) so I have a little hope. So I'd like to ask kindly, would someone please help me or work with me on a solution? I have google voice, but it doesnt support MMS, so I cant troll anyone with my meme app I pretty much live in Deliverenceville so reception is a joke on any carrier Thanks in advance. I really appreciate any help.

I tried Groove IP, Google Voice, and Sidecar.. but none worked as well as teh Tmobile version.. if anyone knows of an app that could do the job.. please let us know!

No Data on cm10

Hi all Got a little issue here running cm10 just flashed from ics looks great runs smooth great job guys but here is the problem no data? I have my epic 4g touch flashed to metro pcs I went thru the instructions several times have wiped everything started over numerous times but still no data. The icons don't come on or anything. At this point I am stuck I have pretty good knowledge on how things work around here if someone can take a moment and point me in the right direction I would be very grateful. I saw another post on no data on cm9 and claims doing a nandroid back up from previous rom then flashing the restoring works but that did not work either was very brief in what he had done so description wasn't very clear. So that I can get a good reply this is exactly what I have at this point: SPH-d710 phone Android ver.4.1.1 Baseband Fh23 Kernel ver. #.).15-cm-g4471ee1 [email protected]#1 CyanogenMod 10-20120901-unofficial-d710 Flashed metro pcs with everything working talk txt web mms. Again Thank you all for any help in this matter these guys do some great stuff and would like to use this software. Keep up the great work guys.
To get data working on non-TW ROMs you have to replace a few files in the ppp folder. I don't have the Metro PCS files though, I only have the Cricket files

Sorry for the REALLY late reply.
This is the thread that lead me in the right direction: http://www.cricketusers.com/sprint-samsung-galaxy-sii-epic-4g-touch/32209-web-cm9.html
And this is the post with the flashable zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22162851&postcount=10
It says it works for "alternate carriers" but I'm on Cricket so I'm not sure if it'll work for Metro PCS. You can give it a shot though. Let me know how it goes.
Trying it now thanks will keep you posted on what my findings are thanks again for the pointer fingers crossed.
Was a no go thanks tho hopefully one of the developers will be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks again
Maybe look through this thread? (http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...-evo-all-info-here-rom-metrogenmod-7-1-a.html)
Edit: You could try the AOSP web script from this thread also (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795182)
I have the exact same problem but am now on blue kuban for the same reason... if you find a solution let us know i might try cm10 again
I will do some research and update you all on the outcome thanks again for the info
Ok looks like I may have to go into qpst and edit my internet settings but have ran into a snag on cm10 cant get the program to recognize the phone if I could get it to pick up the phone then I can reedit the settings for my data to work but like I said at a snag. Will update as soon as I can figure it out or something changes on the rom to access the modem. Any help would be appreciated.
just flashed cm10 will try something out also after thursday when i have time after school

SOLVED flashed the zip on Paranoidandorid 4.1.1 works like a charm thank you your awsome have a nice day :laugh:
Found a answer
Ok boys and girls I found the stepping stones to how to make this work now mind you I am still working on it. This is what I have done thus far I went to playstore downloaded apn shortcut as soon as it hits your home screen you can click on it and change your apn settings to whatever carrier you are on then I went to my dialer and typed as follows *#*#4636#*#* this opens a window if you scroll down some you will see it say something other than cdma what you want there is auto cdma (prl) as soon as I did this the data came on now Im not in a good signal area but it came on it only showed 1x tho I do not know if that is because of my area. If anyone can test that and let me know we might have made progress and if I am doing something wrong feel free to tell me what it is. Again any help in this matter is greatly appreciated and if this helps don't forget to say thanks lots of long nights trying to figure this out. :good:
Ok figured out
Finally success the only issue is I'm only getting 1x I flashed the alternative carrier fix then I went to the dailer and typed in *#*#4636#*#* then scrolled down and changed the setting to cdma prl auto and data started working so now Im trying to get answers on 3g coming on sorry took so long to figure out Im still learning myself if you guys need the link I can post it if necessary. Also when you go in and change the setting to cdma prl auto you mayhave to click it a couple times for it to stick it may change itself to unknown just click it againg to cdma prl auto again til you get the data going and then it will stick. If this helps don't forget to say thanks
Lol didn't realize we were on page two didn't see your post I guess my question now is is your 3g working?

[Q] Virgin Mobile MMS fix for JB Roms?

I'm just tryin to ge a feel if there's an actual demand for a VM MMS fix... or even if one is actually needed.. a friend of mine had trouble with a sending and getting mms when on AOKP JB or Cm10... so we (mostly him) cooked up a fix it's proven to work... so my questions is:
How great is the demand for it? are there alot of Epic Ported to VM users out there in need of such?? Please reply and we are more than happy to share this with anyone that needs it.
P.S. if there's a dev with a little more experience on writting scripts and such I could really use a hand to turn this into a zip... instead of a really long Tut...
I am flashed over to MetroPCS.. I would love a mms fix for my carrier. If you have any tips that point me in the right direction .
Anything is appreciated.
Thanks

heck yes there's a demand for it! X-)
i'm running mazdas aokp (with an htc evo v) and anytime i receive an mms, instead of receiving it from the sender, it receives into a "group thread" that contains the sender and myself. its cluttering up my sms screen and is just obnoxious. i've verified my apns and dont really know what else i can do about. i'm about to read the rest of this thread and see if there's any more info.

[Q] NEW VM Samsung Galaxy S2 ROm ICS

Hi I know that virgin mobile just released the Galaxy S2 4g, but is that rom ICS 4 available to download anywhere?
I've been looking for it. Also can anyone comment on whether it would be compatible with the Sprint Epic 4g Touch?
Thanks in advance.
I'm fairly sure sprint, boost, and virgin roms are interchangeable I know sprint and boost are and am 99% sure virgin is as well

I installed a sprint rom on my vm gs2 and now mms is not working, if you find a link to the original virgin mobile rom please let me know!
They are interchangeable but you have to change the MMS setting to match their respective carriers
Plus on vm and boost roms there is no roaming option or automatic rather

I guess I'm chickenshlt compared to you, you don't mess around, jump right in the water. What's the worse that could happen, right.
I suppose someone will eventually release it or leak it.
Exactly why I'm looking for it, sorry to hear your about your predicament.
From one of the threads on this forum, To have mms working, you need a patch that is available for the cm9 and cm7 roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491189
Virgin mobile uses some type of proprietary framework for the mms.
Too bad you didn't backup your phone with AGAT Recovery.

You don't need a framework from an aosp ROM to use mms unless you're running aosp. Trying to combine aosp framework on a touchwiz ROM is brick city.
You just need to know the mmsc url for the carrier you're on and change it on your device to run any number of the various custom roms on this device.
Giving out potentially dangerous information is risky anyhow, especially when that information is wrong. It's a very bad idea, it could cause someone to lose their device.
Please be sure you know the information you're giving out is correct.

You're right I don't know what the hell I'm talking about most of the time, Agreed.
But I never said to use a aosp patch on the touchwiz rom as you mentioned. simply stating that cm9 has a patch.
That the touchwiz roms don't have.
I personally don't like CM9 or CM7. But using the gingerbread,ICS,jellybean or whatever I never was able to get my mms to work properly.
Probably cause I flashed a sprint phone to virgin mobile and it was missing some vital info from the Rom somewhere may be the 1192 file or other that holds something that the mms relies on. (only guessing don't scold me please!!!)
Anyway I basically had enough of virgin mobile/sprint spotty coverage where I live and switched to T-mobile and the T889 phone which is a million times better for me.
So Good Luck to all and best wishes.
