[Q] Help: Can't finish Flash to metro - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi... i just finished rooting and trying to flash my HTC EVO over to metro pcs. all was supposed to happen smoothy but sadly it didn't. The problem is when the metro pcs people try to program my number into the phone using ##000000# it won't let them access that menu. They told me i might have to factory reset then try, but then i would lose all my info... I'm running 2.3 ota, is there anything i can do to get my phone working with metro...plz plz plz help....mind you this has been going on for two weeks now and i have spent to much money trying to fix the problem...thanx

Google MSL Finder or Locator and use that to determine what your MSL is because it is not the 6 zeroes.
Once determined, you can provide it to MPCS or change it to 000000.
Hope this helps.

Help cant get pst settings for cricket...

Okay I have a Sprint Touch pro 2 I want to flash it to cricket, I have already ran the Hard SPL unlocker which then enabled me to flash various different ROMs onto the phone. The problem is that I cannot get the SPC to be all 0s so that I can get *228 to work on cricket. I already called Cricket and they have switched the phone over. I have also already installed a cricket carrier cab. I attempted to run the same protocol in Ryan mogul's thread using the BAF MSL Grabber but it wont work. Can someone please tell me what I am missing here. I have searched everywhere and nothing has proven helpful.

[Q] Get 'Unauthorized' when trying to make calls, will not OTA

I am using the Jiminy V Rom on Cricket
I am unable to OTA or make calls on the Cricket network. when I try and make a call I get 'Unauthorized' and when I try to OTA (*228) the system says 'unable' at the very beginning. I have done many EVO's to cricket before, and I have checked and double checked all my PST settings, my MEID/MIN/MDN/PRL particularly.
Even when OTA doesnt work , I can always get voice/text working on virtually any other phone by manually programming the MDN/MIN/Home SID & PRL.
My cricket home SID is 4923 & I am using PRL 32200
I have even loaded a working evo's PST settings into this phone (via QPST, read from one phone, write to another), and get same results even after making sure the MDN/MIN & MEID are correct.
The symptoms are exactly the same as if my MEID is not in the cricket system, yet I have triple checked them (and I had someone else program another phone with my MEID and that phone OTA'd and made calls on Cricket with no problem).
Some other data for consideration Android 2.1, build Baseband 2.15.00……007.25 kernel 2.6., Radio 2.05.00.06.10, HBOOT 0.79.0000 SHIP S-OFF
I have also tried factory builds 2.2 (3.26.651.6) and 2.1, (Baseband 2.05.00.06.10,Build 1.41.651.1) with same result. Note: they did not change the PST.
Is there a factory build which will put everything back to Sprint or should I consider updating the HBoot and /or Radio?, I assume the programming for the OTA is done in the Radio?
I am stumped.
Bump, If anybody can help me with this, its been driving me up the wall for two weeks now.,
Have you tried flashing an RUU and updating everything from there? If it isn't the MEID then it might just be your phone having a glitch. Flash it using RUU and let me know.
how do you reset PST/NAM (SPC,MIN,MDN, Etc) to factory?
I have tried RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe , hboot goes from 0.92 to 0.79, radio from 2.15 to 1.39.00.04.26, and android from 2.2 to 2.1.
But the pst/nam settings remain unchanged, mdn,min, sip, nai, etc are all cricket. even the SPC is still unlocked at 000000. ANd the S-OFF flag is off, Shouldnt the RUU's re-root the phone?
Is there an alternate way to run the RUU, I have tried putting the phone in HBOOT usb mode, then run the RUU but with three different batteries it tells me they are too low (under 30%).
Should I be in Hboot mode to run RUU? (I have been running it from the PC with the phone booted up.
To answer a couple of my own questions, none of the RUU's reset the EPST whether they where loaded from the PC via the .exe method or from the SD card PB31IMG method.
I found a reference to ##786# and found that yes that does reset the EPST (including the SPC) back to factory.
So I figured maybe the problem would be solved, so I updated PST for cricket (MDN,MIN,SID,PRL) and tried again, still no OTA and still 'Unauthoriized; when I try to make calls.
I am starting to believe I have a hardware problem, but how can most of the phone work and yet it have (apparently) problems transmitting MEID?
Seems like no interest here or everybody stumped. I am willing to pay some one to help me resolve this. contact to my email or post here, I will certainly let the forum know when I resolve this. Thanks

Your problem has different symptoms from mine (the threadstarter), it sounds like your prl is incorrect. If you have a correct prl & sid (these can vary for the market you are in , in Phoenix the SID is 4923 and I use the old nationwide non EVDO PRL of 1040) when you dial 611 you will get Cricket, regardless of your ESN/MEID being registered with Cricket, if this doesnt work do not go further. Find a PRL/SID that works (sometimes changing CDMA connect from Auto to Home only can help) . Also make sure MNC/MNC are set to 310/0. Country code/Carrier I think.
Once you get 611 to connect to Cricket, *228 (OTA) will connect to cricket, if It disconnects you before the music starts playing and says 'Sorry....' it is most likely your MEID is not registered correctly with Cricket. In Phoenix *228 always works on EVo's as long as SID/PRL/MEID are correct,
The message you are getting about a credit card required means you are connnecting to some other carriers network (usually Verizon) which is transferring you to someplace to allow you to make a call even though you are
"not authorized" on the network. Go back and check 611 & *228.*228 will load the correct prl for your area and rate plan, check after it runs to see what was loaded. It will also most likely overwrite EVDO settings including MIP, Sip, NAI, etc.
At this point your phone should work, talk & text.
I had the same problem and I look all over. I wanted to unroot and remove jimmy v rom. I was think that if i update to the new update that it will fix it self and i was right. First I had to remove the jimmy v rom, so i got ruu to update the htboot and that let me update to the new 2.3.3. It fix it self and f***ing A.

Can you be more specificwhat you loaded and what versions of hboot where involved? I downgraded to 2.1 (with RUU) and hboot .79 and it did not resolve problem.

[Flash] Galaxy S3 Sprint to Metro Pcs

Hey Guys,
I have a sprint galaxy s3 that i would like to flash over to metro.
Tools i already have:
CDMA Workshop 2.7
DFS 4.3.1
QPST 2.7
QXDM 3.12
i got these in a zip online saying it was the package needed to flash sprint galaxy s3 over to metro pcs. I have no clue where to start with these, i've tried to search the forums and found several tutorials but i'm confused. Some say i have to change my imei to esn and some say i have to an MSL number.
Please help, i'm a first timer at flashing but i've rooted a few galaxy's. I don't want to pay $85 to $100 to just flash my phone.
Any help (Step by step) will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!:good:

i have flashed my sprint s3 (SPH-L710) to Virgin Mobile USA which i think will be like yours (CDMA)
all i can say is this
there are quite a few different guides out there (boost, page plus and even cricket)
virgin mobile and metro pcs are a little different but not much.
you are going to have to do research and alot of trial and error.
you will use a mixture of all those tools you listed above to get the results done
i know may way around these apps now and which ones can get certain things done and which ones report wrong info.
i still can not even change my SPC code to a new code like 000000
i see lots of guides on how to do it and i follow them to the letter and they do not work
i then asked for help and no one says anything
the info is out there you just have to read

You have to have Metro put your MEID in their database.Not many Metro stores will do that for you. But there are a lot on the internet that will. They usually charge $10.00. Just look on craigslist for shops that flash phones to metro.They will be able to have your # put in the database.
I hope that is the answer you needed and that I've understood your question right.
Also, you shouldn't even have to go in to a Metro store to have it activated. Once the correct #'s are in the phone and the MEID is in their database it should program like any other when getting activated.

Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 MSL code lookup

OK so here we go I have stock rooted the s3. This is more of a blog or log of what Ive done so far and if anyone has better updated info then chime in.
I am trying to unlock my sprint phone for use on straight talk network. Nothing I have done so far has let me have internet access on the phone.
Im looking for the MSL code to unlock the phone. CDMA workshop did not work It wants me to input the spc to read it lmao.
First I rooted using the chainfire method. http://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-xda-developer-tv/
Then I used Triangle away to make the phone look like it has not been rooted.
Im downloading SDK tools now to follow the instructions in the thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391165&page=2
I have android version 4.4.2 so I may have to downgrade to 4.1.x and follow the thread to reprogram my MSL then upgrade again.
Any IDEAS?!???!?

I went through this a few months ago. Just call sprint and have your imei# and meid# ready. Tell them you need your msl code because you are going to be traveling overseas. They are now required by law to give it to you although they will not assist with unlocking your phone for a new carrier. Or theres an app that works for some people. Let me know how it went
I tried calling sprint they want the phone number associated with the phone to access account info and I bought phone offline.... no idea what the phone number was.

Change PRL??

Hi everybody!
Straight to the point. I've been spending the past days trying to figure this out, with no luck of course.
I just got this cellphone, and I want to change its prl to a local one (I live in Dominican Republic).
I have done this before with a couple of LGs, this is my first HTC phone, and in the past I used to finish this in less than 5 mins, but now, after installing drivers and such, I'm stuck at nowhere.
I have used CDMA Workshop, DFS and QPST. I got my SPC/MSL and my PRL file, but when I write in successfully, first it doesn't reboot itself when I close the program like it supposed to do, so I restart it myself, but the changes wont stick. No matter what I do or how many times I do it, the PRL I overwrite on the phone wont save.
I read somewhere that you need to use NV Item for HTC changes to be saved, but I don't know exactly how to proceed. I do have NV Item for a couple of LGs when I tryied to save its data, but I can't seem to find HTC One M7 Verizon NV Items.
In the end, I'm out of options, I have no idea what to do next.
By the way, I want to write in Tricom PRL which is a CDMA Carrier in this country.
Thanks in advance, and I hope someone out there has the answer for this.
