So my gf just got this phone on metropcs. I'm just wondering which roms and kernels apply to her specific device once I root and s-off it. I'm well versed in flashing roms and whatnot. I've got myself an epic 4g on cm7 with mtd partition mapping. Just wanna know if ill have to do anything with QPST or anything else. So any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance!

Is the phone gsm or cdma?
Because you have much less options if it's cdma
I own the exact same phone. I'll help ya out.
First, your gonna want to head over to HTCDev.com and unlock the bootloader. Then, head over to here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074445
and download the MetroPCS RUU and flash it through Windows. (Make sure drivers for the phone are installed!)
Once you get the RUU up and running, head over here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?832o9otiu6713m8
and download insink71's custom MetroPCS ROM. (Has a2sd support, and is rooted!)
Afterwords, you can install a custom kernel to overclock. I reccommend Mindh4x8rs OC kernel.
You MUST flash the RUU before you can install insink's custom ROM! Hboot MUST be updated to 1.10.0000 for the ROM to play nicely, and the only way to update hboot is through the RUU.

Well thank you very much She's finally letting me root her phone cause shes sick of having to uninstall apps to install new ones. I just wanted to make sure I didnt **** anything up considering she cant afford a new phone to replace it if it was to brick. So again, thanks!

I have the Metro PCS version of the WFS too and I am having some issues with rooting the phone. I am at HTCDEV website looking for the ruu for my phone. The ruu on the site is called 'Metro PSC'. I have my phone connected to my computer and I ran the Metro PSC ruu and I get the model ID number error. Can someone please advise me on what I am doing wrong?

Can't you get into recovery at all? (Assuming you used unrevoked you should be able to).
Then I'd do a full wipe/reflash from there.

RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe
you need a froyo.
1) Please post in the correct section first [Q&A, not DEV]
2) There's a selection of pre-rooted stock roms available via SEARCH at the top
3) Flash via renaming to update.zip and sticking on the root of your SD card
3a) If fails, name it pb99img.zip and do it via voldown+power
How you lost root rights and delete this directory? I think to you need Froyo release RUU

You don't need stock 2.2.1 to install apps2sd or use mobile hotspot. I would advise you to post what you're actually running, and what your goal is and also to read more. If you're rooted the only reason to go back to stock, is to send your phone in to T-Mobile for repairs. Otherwise...

If you modded your MTD, then change it back to the stock configuration, because Sense requires much more system space than CM6.

Hey People,
Just got my phone back from HTC service (had the 3 vibes issue). Looks like they actually fixed it since my screen protector was still on.
Here is where I am at, I have sucessfully Unlocked the bootloader using HTCDEV, and have also succesfully S-off the phone.
In the HBoot it currently shows:

Did you first try out Temp root and then Did the Permanent Root...???
See this thread, This may Help you

I am trying to do a Permanent Root.
I will try a temp root.
Also I did use that link even though Super tools states that it is rooted when I check the phone with Link2sd it states i have not been granted root access.
Mine did the same thing! I didn't have root but had clockworkmod on my phone, so I just flashed a new Rom with root and my phone wad rooted, superone click would not respond while trying to root. If I were you I would flash a new Rom called team blueridge 2.1 by simonsimons34, its a stock rom for virgin mobile but the bloated ware is gone and has a overclockable kernel so its fast, its the closet to stock, hope this helps!

Im glad you got it rooted!
The FIRST thing you need to do is make a back up of your system in clockworkmod, to do that boot into clockwork mod and wipe dalivk cache and back up system then reboot.
To flash/install any rom follow these steps
-Download zip from the link given
-place zip into your SD card
-Boot into clockwork recovery
-Wipe cache, Format cache, Format system and Data
-Install zip from SD card and choose the zip that you download
-once done then reboot, your all done
Thanks everyone for all the help.
I finally got everything going.
Just took 2 or 3 tries.

All roms work with philz 6 but if you want latest AOSP based rom like CM11 or other you need the latest Philz to not geting any error. And the latest work with the Sense based roms to. You know the rules here I can't recomend ROM try them all and take decision lastest AOSP is JB4.4.4 other sense is 4.2.2 it is your decision and don't forget to make nandroid backup before install new rom
Thanks for all your help Thant, managed to get Beanstalk up and running with a backup

Hi Everyone,
I have an Australian HTC One M9 with Telstra (carrier). ATM it has Marshmallow installed, and firmware version 3.38.x, but I would like to downgrade the firmware to 'M9_3.35.617.12_FullStock' (International Version). I would like to do this in order to install the Viper ROM. For me Viper ROM is the 'bees knees' (Aussy Slang for F**king GREAT!). I understand that Viper will not run with the firmware that I currently have installed (both through the XDA forums, and from personal experience; developed by attempting to install the ROM). Is the ADB / fastboot method, outlined in the link below, a safe way to proceed?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/firmware-t3068243
FYI - My phone is S-OFF and Rooted...
Any advice or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Davo
Just tried a couple of firmware..."Patience, you must have patience!"
Ok, so patience is a virtue, but apparently...not so much one of mine! I just tried to flash a couple of the firmwares that I had in mind - unsuccessfully - and below is a screen cap of my results!

Did you change your cid and mid to match the firmware you're trying to flash?
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA Labs
You should change cid to supercid or something that lets you flash the international (European) version aka 3.35.401.12. You can flash whatever you like with this fw without running into issues )

SuperCID allowed me 'to turn the corner'
Thanks guys, Roobwz in particular; my phone is now SuperCID. I have also successfully flashed 3.35.x firmware ('M9_3.35.401.12_NoWipe_TWRP2871b1.zip'). I made the decision to use the 'htc_fastboot' software rather than 'standard' fastboot. Even though the flashing completed successfully I did have to issue the same command (through htc_fastboot.exe) twice - in between rebooting the phone - please see the screen shot below.
I am now running Viper ROM...but will all the effort be worthwhile?
Glad you figured it out
Skickat från min HTC6535LVW via Tapatalk
Could anyone help me out? I flashed Android Revolution HD on my verizon HTC one M9.
I accidentally did not set my CID or MID to superCID. CID is at VZW__001
Could that be the cause of me not having service anymore? Boots up fine but just no service.
Been lurking reading everything...just can't figure out how to go back as my backup got corrupted somehow. Verizon files seem like the holy grail I've yet to find... Please if anyone knows anything shoot me in the right direction. I never had to do this CID stuff flashing my old HTC Incredible.
Hi coldbloodio,
Phone service was definitely an issue for me, until I performed the SuperCID and then flashed the appropriate firmware. The correct firmware was not possible until I had SuperCID, and without the correct firmware I could not receive any signal using a custom ROM.
Good luck.
Davo
