i was wondering if its possible to have a nandroid of a metro rom and also have a nandroid of a sprint rom and have them both working? and if its even possible to just nandroid back to each prespective network ?
Flashing roms wont change your network. As someone who has rececntly had my Evo switched to Metro i know this for a fact. Adding and or changing networks requires provisioning your phone to work through the respective network using programs like Houdini,QPST, and CDMA workshop. Hope this was helpful.
is it easy to switch back and forth
No,because the only way to get your phone working on metro is to take it to a metro store and have them add the esn to thier database. After you do that,i dont think even flashing a stock sprint RUU would get it fully back to sprint as some deep programming has been changed in the metro flash.

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
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

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.
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
Hey everyone,
So I recently ran into a weird situation with my Rogers Samsung Galaxy S3, I went to the Rogers store to get a LTE sim card. After activating the sim card and putting it into my phone I realized that I was only getting Edge. I'd like to point out that I was getting up to H+ (or 4g) before I purchased this new sim card.
Anyways, I looked into this problem and I determined that I had lost my IMEI. So using QPST and the QCN generator, I was able to get my data connection back. However, I did noticed one slight change. Before, my phone used to show 4g and now it says H+. To my understanding, these two are the same thing. Please correct me if I'm wrong. As for LTE, I believe it shows up as 4g on my phone.
My first question, is there any way to get my phone to show 4g for H+ and LTE for 4g? --> which to my understanding is the normal set up for the GS3.
My other concern is that I would like to know what caused my IMEI to be lost?????? What are some possibilities?
I am rooted and I was using Drew Garen's Jellybean M7 rom. Just before I purchased the new sim card, I flashed back to Rogers stock rom. That is all I did! I've done this many times and I've never had a problem with my IMEI.
Thanks everyone for your time. If you can help out in any way I'd greatly appreciate it.
For all I know, flashing ROMs randomly cause you to lose your imei. No one really knows why (correct me if you can). There's a thread sticky somewhere that links to a tool to restore it.. Best of luck
one way to lose your imei is flashing att modem on Canadian i747m but
flashing back the right modem should give you back your imei if that's was what cause you to lose it.
Is there any way to get my phone to show 4g for H+ and LTE for 4g? --> which to my understanding is the normal set up for the GS3.
On stock Rogers gs3 you should see LTE when connected to it. Try doing a factory reset afrer flashing the stock rom.
I had the same experience.I had no clue how it happened cz i didnot flash any custom rom apart from jellybean bell leaked rom(my s3 is Bell).Anyhow you will have to manually restore imei if its not already backed up.There is a tool for it and to get Hsdpa working as well.

Is it possible to restore the imei if you did not back up already?
Yes its possible. You need to reinject your IMEI (found behind your battery). You can do this using QPST and the QCN generator. Theres a list of instructions on this thread

So I have an S3 from US Cellular, and I want to flash it to PagePlus. I've read a couple guides already trying to make sure I have everything in order, but I want to make sure of one thing; Is it possible to get 3G service with a flashed phone without using, uh, less-than-legal methods, like donor devices? I want to keep everything on the level with the flash.
