Would be helpful to know what all you have tried... Have you tried this?
Dial ##3282#. Tap edit and enter your MSL. Tap Others and go to the MMSC URL. Change this URL to http://mms.metropcs.net:3128/mmsc
I use to have a MetroPCS rom but I accidentally deleted, however I do recall what was where. As the above poster said, make sure the mmsc url is in ##Data##, and about yu getting everything else working, was that by using iptables? If so, not all roms support that. And if you never used iptables the first place, that may be your issue at hand here. MMS traditionally does not require 3g data, but for it to work on epic, it does.

I can aide you on the password, it used to be metropcs a long time ago, its now a calculated unique code from your meid, there's an app that tells you what your calculated code is if you look for it on the market. I would link you but the latest market with the google +1 feature doesn't have a share button anywhere.. its called MEID converter.

I plan to switch to HTC ROM after I unlock my phone thru imei.. folks.
I plan to use the following files HTC_S620_WWE_1.27.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship for the ROM and RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly for the bootloader.
Is this the latest/greatest ROM from HTC ?
Is it possible to switch back to the Tmobile ROM incase I need to ? Any special instructions for how to go about doing that ?
Thanks, . Appreciate all the help ..
U actually dont need to imei unlock ur phone, u can actually just use the excalibur update spl from jocky http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329605 . After u do all of that stuff u can load any rom that compatible with the Dash/S620/S621. I have used this method and flashed my phone with the HTC ROM, and the Rogers radio and it is way faster than the t-mobile rom, and more reliable. The only thing is that you need to manually install office mobile if u want it on ur phone. U can switch back to the t-mobile rom if u dont like it the same way u switched to the htc rom. One thing to remember about the HTC rom, is that u need to manually configure ur MMS settings, here a link for that http://tmobileuspublic.wdsglobal.com/mms?ispId=&mmsId=&wapId=&contractId=235&countryId=37&networkId=90&bearerId=5&phoneId=1426&manufacturerId=41&mobileNumber=&incomingServerId=. You also need to configure ur edge settings too, but u can do that with the same link i provided. Good luck, and im sure ull definitely like the HTC rom way better than the t-mobile rom
Unfortunately, the HTC rom is not as efficient as the T-Mobile one because it actually has multiple language packs. That's what I noticed. Right now, I am trying to find a way to rebuild ROM packages using BuildOS.exe and CreateOS.exe but no luck.

Thanks for the good info..
I have already got my phone unlocked thru imei_check.co.uk folks.
Do I still need to run the boot uploader or I can directly proceed to update the HTC ROM ? (HTC_S620_WWE_1.27.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship ) ?
If I understand correctly, since i want to keep the option of reverting back to Tmobile ROM (for warranty reasons, in case I need it !), I need to use the boot loader you mentioned.. Please correct me if I am wrong
Thanks

I was succesfull in installing the above ROM, now when I go to Settings -> About .. I see the following "Windows Mobile 5.0 with Messaging and Security Feature Pack.."
Should'nt this say as Windows Mobile 6.0 ???
What am I missing here !!
Thanks
My mistake, I installed the 1.11.405 ROM which i think is wm5.
My copy of wm6 ROM 1.27.405.XXX is corrupt. Not sure from where I installed, if anyone is aware of some download area, appreciate if you could let me know .. Thanks
Ive got one problem with the HTC rom...
does anyone happen to know how to change the keypad to be US english? ive got the locale and language set to english (America) but if i go to use the (@) sign, ill get the english pound sign...or what ever its called.
also, i cant seem to access the windows folder from my pc any one know what i need to do to get it?
Use the search function to locate a file called eT9.Excalibur.0409.kmap
You may think to tinker this file. I installed the HTC ROM and observed that the '@" was being replaced by the pound currency symbol.
I eventually switched to Rogers ROM (downloaded from Rogers website) and all is fine now.
Thanks !
Search the forum for this info, it's been asked an answered previously.

i found it right on the rogers.com site. apparently the link that was turning up as an error had a part that i just had to deleted and it worked. this is the link:

Couple of questions about changing ROMs
please indulge a NOObie to the change process..
Situation...
I have a TMobile Dash that I upgraded to the official WM6 from TMo. It is SIM unlocked direct from TMo (traveling overseas and asked them to provide unlock codes - they complied).
Now the Questions...
1) If I change the ROM to Rogers WM6, will I lose SIM unlock?
2) Is the Rogers ROM that much better than the TMo one? (posts I've read indicate its the best one out there for WM6)
3) Can anyone tell me what functionailty I will lose moving to the Rogers ROM? (I've heard voice command, but what about long press keys provide "alt functionality", etc??)
Thanks so much in advance if someone could starigten me out here..

as a fello n00bert my self.. i switched from tmob wm6 to the rogers and i find the rogers much worth it than the tmob rom..
as for ur questions..
1)i dont think u would lose SIM lock b/c ur messing with the CID and not with the SIM and hopefully u still have the SIM unlock code tmo provided so that should unlock ur phone if it becomes locked (that if u flash it with jockyw2001's progs)
2)to me its worth it.. i havent restarted my phone for 2 days and i still have 15K+ KB in memory
3)no u wont lose the "long press key" function but then again there will be a shortage of progs that came standard with tmo wm6 like the OZ IM is not available on the rogers rom and the voice commands but u do have voice tags... plus u will have to reconfig the settings to tmos network..
hope this helps and for any false info i may have given.. sorry but thats how ive seen it and how i know of it from my own experience

dude u gotta be more clear.. u say u have tmo wm6 or the rogers? cuz from wat i understood was u have tmo then rogers and now u trying to flash a rogers over a rogers.. but as to flashing the rom follow the steps in this thread. the first post... for me it worked like a charm.. flashed my fone in under 15 mins on the first try.. but i do warn.. READ CAREFULLY.. to me thats the most important thing that every1 under estimates.. read the instructions carefully and u should have a successful flash..
as far as the OZ IM im not sure if u can get it back.. maybe some 1 can provide u with the files from a Tmobile rom for it to work. or u can try a 3rd party program like agile or IM+.. me personally i dont like the OZ IM so i use ebuddy.com or a program called SLICK.. and with the rogers rom in order to sync to a computer u will need active sync 4.5 i believe. u should be able to download it directly form microsoft website for free(thats wat i did)
hope this helps
So does the Rogers Rom also have the VOIP already installed or do you still need to follow the instructions in the other post to re-add the VOIP function? This would be the deciding point on if I need to switch from the TMobile ROM to Rogers!

well im guessing active sync is active sync.. but u still need to get past the CID lock which u would have to pay to get unlocked according to your fones IMEI or you can use the the process jockeyw2001 posted with his program and the sda unlocker which is the way i did it to my dash..
this is the link and the process i used which in 15 mins after CAREFUL READING got me the rogers rom into my tmobile dash:

Vista uses an update to Activesync called Device Center. It provides the same service as Activesync.
This is a newbie question and I may not have searched correctly but...
I am currently using a T-Mobile Dash that has been uprgaded to T-Mobile's WM6 Rom that was offered on their website. It originally had a previous version.
If I follow the instruction to flash the device with the Roger's Rom, and I end up missing functionality, can I simply follow the instructions again and re-flash the T-Mobile WM6 Rom upgrade on top of the Roger's Rom? I want to make sure I can go back if needed before I go through the process!
I also have my unlock code from T-Mobile because I travel overseas so if I needed to go back to T-Mobile's Rom once I flash it over to Roger's Rom, will I need to re-apply the unlock code?

yes u can flash back to the tmobile rom
I previously updated my Dash to the Rogers ROM but now I am going back due to a number of issues I've encountered. The biggest being the constant locking after I applied the App unlock and the AllowCertificate. Also, when I received calls, the call would cancel if I had another person on the line. Anyone else have these problems? I also could not take my calls off hold if they were placed on hold.

since the day i have installed the rogers rom i have not had major problems with it. everything works fine n i dont do constant restart on my dash. as a matter of fact i restart my dash every other day n it has never locked up.. sorry to hear ur having problems with it.. but to me the rogers rom is really woth the flash from the tmobile stock rom
ok well i just made up this list a while ago to help someone out, and have ended up giving it to quite a few ppl now, so i figured i might as well post it here under an appropriate title for all to easily see and access.
i know dharvey wrote a great tutorial, and that there are prob others, but..what the heck. plus this is pretty quick and easy, though i cant say that it is as full and thought out and great as dharvey4651's (thx man!)...
IMPORTANT!!! ONLY SPRINT users follow below steps 5 and 8-11!! Altell users can follow all the steps except step 5 as long as they use a different ppst.exe, not the one mentioned below.
"#1- Backup all pim info and anything else you might want.
#2- Ensure you are currently running your carriers original official oem rom (os and radio) (if you have never flashed it at all then dont worry youre good to go).
#3- Unlock using imcokemans 2.31 unlocker (this for gps roms)
#4- run the sprint leaked rom.exe (here, close to the bottom where it says "original rom")
#5- SPRINT ONLY:allow all customizations to complete and run (i know - it takes a lil while)
#6- flash to desired rom.
#7- after she's all booted up, hard-reset.
#8- download and run cab from here (altell users run your own ppst stuff on the same post, non-sprint and non-altell users SKIP TO STEP 12): http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=282955&postcount=139
#9- allow soft-rest.
#10- navigate to \windows folder and run ppst.exe
#11- allow soft reset.
#12- allow boot-up, customize, restore pim info etc...

didnt use unlocker
I just ran the leaked ROM upgrade. It found my phone and flashed it. I never ran any of the SPL unlockers. Should I be worried about not being able to unlock later, or have trouble flashing an 'Official' release?

hey nope you'll be just fine, assuming that you arent going to flash to a custom rom. what is your current spl? you just will not be able to flash a custom rom until you unlock.
what happened to the link for the leaked rom ????

just read my post! so who is your carrier? when you say 2nd gen, it makes me think your touch is gsm...is that the case?

Hi All. I just recieved my touch last week and like the phone alot. I have flshed my old phone ( old I-mate PDA) a few times with files from here and it worked great.
But with the Touch you guys are talking about different kinds of touch phones. Where do I check what kind do I have. I am from South Africa and use MTN as my SP.
Will I be able to use the GPS ( Seen it in other threads)
Thank you for your help

im....not really sure. being on a different continent i dont think it would work the same, unless you were able to find a separate radio only rom for your carrier, in which case you could flash whatever rom you wanted (w/o letting the cusomizations run on first boot), then flash your carriers os only rom, then be good to go!

google and download pim backup
actually...you could just synchronize with active sync, and have it sync your contacts, calendar, and files?
new PPST direct link
This post should be a sticky!!!!
This works perfectly except for the fact that the link to ppcgeeks on #8 is busted. What is missing from that link is the file for ppst.exe. I beat my brains in trying to get the stupid gps to work before I finally realized what was missing from my install.
Here is the PPST file from sprint that you do in fact need to make the gps work great. I lock onto the gps sats in about 15 seconds, in my house, to about 9 of em.

flashing cmda phone different from gsm?
Hi All,
I just got my new sprint vogue to replace my t-mobile wizard. I flashed my wizard extensively over the past 2 years but I'm not sure about the Vogue. How does a cmda phone retain its network settings and network contact info if it is flashed when theres no sim card? I'm not talking about PIM info but the info the phone uses to identify itself and communicate with the network.
thanks
Lotus
This worked great. It was my first time flashing and following these instructions everything worked out well and I get locked into satellites with the gps very fast. Thank you.
i have a couple questions. 1st is i have a sprint touch flashed to cricket if i were to install this rom will all my cricket settings stay intact or will i have to reflash to cricket? 2nd does this rom include WM6.1 along with gps, and rev. A?
thanks for any help.

i must say that im not exactly sure how. but i can say that...it just does. if you flash a different radio rom...then you can be in trouble if it is not for your carrier. but we are discussing os only roms here and the network settings are therefore not really affected
and ps for you too, dont allow any files named "ppst.exe" to be run, unless you are sure they are for your carrier

ok so..no specific rom is being discussed here. this is just a how-to for what/e rom you want.
and no you should not have to re-flash to cricket as long as you only flash an os-only rom, a rom that does not have a radio included, and you never allow any files named "ppst.exe" to be executed.
but most all the roms that you can flash using these instructions do have 6.1 with gps and rev a yes

HELP: when i try to load the v3[1].02.rar it asks for a password?????
if i use spb backup to restore in the last step, will that screw things up, since it reinstalls programs, etc as well????
I have had consistent issues flashing this s3 sprint to boost mobile.
My main two questions are where is the general knowledge you guys have about qpst , qpxt, dfs and cdma workshop coming from ?
I mean there are 10 + guides on the sprint s3 to boost BUT all the guides to not explain a thing. Neither do any other guides for other flashes. The are only explicit directions. Which I have followed and consistently get errors no matter the variable that I change ( different roms mainly ).
I have searched the internet from morning to night trying to find answers and it seems this giant ball of knowledge about these programs is either hidden or not there for some odd reason.
Either way I can post up screen shots of the errors if that would help.
Or does someone know 100 % of a current working guide?
Any help will be much appreciated as I agreed to flash a phone after only rooting 4-5 phones and being very knowledgable of that area assuming from all the threads on how to flash phones interpreting them as a "doable" task but this is some deep stuff.
I retract my statement about being able to post screen shots as I do not have the required 10 posts yet. I am not that knowledgeable about quite a few things on this site so looking to learn a lot.
I am assuming I can still send a link to the screenshot via PM for anyone feeling crazy enough to help. :good:
99428813
And now after trying flash a few different roms I am getting a new error in dfs - get sec code cds error. That is after sending what has previously worked as the spc. Does the spc change ? I would presume it doesn't.
This should steer you in the right direction.

Thank you for the post! I did try that one. My phone at this moment will not let me get passed the put your password/spc in portion of the guide.
I actually purchased the Galaxttoboost.com guide and it worked well on the incognito side but the galaxy side it failed.

You have to downgrade your rom for the old password to work. I forget how far you have to downgrade, maybe 4.1.1? I don't remember but that is what you have to do. I am also not sure if there are any implications if you have knox in your bootloader. There might be, read up on that.

LIF_update_FULL_Odex (4.1.1).zip (
Per the galaxytoboost.com guide this is the needed rom to access msl info and is whats currently downloaded. They did specify another rom to use with QXDM that I just noticed. Is that normal?
And I just found out that under baseband version ( where the label for what bootloader I have ) it says unknown.....

The new rom yielded the same results. No msl via the get my msl app or no response via getprop ril.MSL in terminal. Same response in QXDM as well. When I put in password and the correct 01f..... password for the 4.1.1 it displays the error - RequestItem - Error response received from target.
What would make my phone completely unresponsive to these programs????
so ive had the SPH-L710T version of the S3 and i have seen many questions online about rooting the device

SO HERE WE GO.! i bring u a way to root ur device
GOOGLE -------> [srsroot] i cant post a link cuz i havnt posted 10 times yet so sorry about that
aperently i was the first one to use this program to root my phone because my device showed up on the list after..
