I've looked and looked but couldn't find an answer.
So my sister has a evo 4g that has been unlocked/flashed to work with metro pcs and she whats her phone to look and feel different.
She saw that my sgs4g is running a different rom than the original and was wondering if her evo 4g can be like/similiar to my rom?
can a evo 4g metro pcs setup be able to flash different roms without losing the metro pcs setup?

Just make sure you Nandroid back up and use APN BackUP from the market to back up your current APN settings.......once you do that, then flash away!
If anything gets messed up, just restore both of those things and you should be good!
I agree, I did the same thing on Boost mobile and I didn't lose anything. Just don't flash PRLs or any radios and you should be alright dude!!!
Thank you so much for your replies! I'm going to try it out will update in the morning. =D

Where is the most legit thread for putting the evo to metro pcs?

Ok guys, I know I searched but using the app didn't bring any results... anyways is it possible to get the epic on cricket? I posted a similar topic on another forum and someone said it wasn't possible due to my area. Now I'm going to go on a limb here and call bull. Since when does it matter what area you are in for a phone to work? Cricket uses sprint, and this is a sprint service area, so no worries there. And its not an AWS serviced area either. So again, no worries there. So how can I get this guy on Cricket? Reason I want to go Cricket instead of Boost for example, is because I want to avoid ESN swapping if at all possible. Any one have any suggestions here? Thanks guys!

There is a full walk through on here to flash to cricket/metro pcs with working mms as well. Have seen it in the epic forums, just not 100% sure where lol.

Hello, I have Sprints version of the Galaxy s2 and would like to totally switch plans/service to Virgin Mobile...I have seen online elsewhere that this is possible but no direct directions on how? I would prefer Virgin but Metro PCS or Cricket would also do if they would function properly with the phone. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
There have been quite a few threads around here regarding flashing over to metro, but I haven't seen anything about virgin. Do a search for metro flashing and like I said youll find a few different threads.

Its only possible by rewritting esn as virgin is owned by sprint and each virgin esn is scanned in their system

i tried running search on flashing metro but the only useful info i got was for using another phone model...anywhere i can find model specific flashing info for the SPH-D710? the only experience i have with flashing is taking my old galaxy from froyo to gingerbread using odin...guessing i would need an actual guide if one exists? thanks for your help!

You sure can. I have the exact same phone on Platinumtel prwpaid which also runs on the Sprint network. Just rewrite the ESN as stated above...

I have a sgs2 and cdma workshop on my desk top...what do i need to do to get it to work with virgin mobile?
I know ive seen some post about it. As for the esn I know for the Epic 4g if I remember right I think you needed an old virgin mobile phone for the esn
I know iv seen some saying the sgs2 disnt need a "donor" phone..but i heard sonething about changing something for the 3g to work i just dont see video or info how to get the esn to virgin...i have cdma workshop but not sure what to do with it..lol
There's a guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1404270

I have a quick question: is it possible to flash BACK to sprint after flashing to virgin mobile? This is with an epic 4g touch that had a clean esn.

Yes, it should just be a matter of reversing the process you used to flash/pgm your device to VM... Assuming you did retain all of the relevant data from your original setup...

Does anyone know if you need to flash the virgin mobile version of android 4.1.2 onto a sprint epic 4g touch in order to use Virgin mobile or can you just use any of the sprint roms and just swap the info out from a virgin donor phone.
thanks
Gentlemen, I would caution you on discussing the changing of ESNs here in XDA. As I'm sure you know, flashing this way is now illegal and talking about piracy and the like in the threads is frowned upon by the mods. Just trying to help. Good luck!

Is there anything you can do to make my inc work on metro pcs network?
I just gave my friend my old inc because i have no use for it after i upgraded to rezound, and he doesn't want to get verizon because of the contract. He went to metro pcs and asked if he can joing their network with my inc, and they told him that he has to go somewhere and flash something on the phone for $80, and then they can do it.
and so i came here to ask around, maybe i can do it myself somehow

Well you need a donor phone already activated on metro. You then need to use a pc program called qpst to change the esn and other network settings of the inc, to the esn and network settings of the donor phone. You then need to flash a metro prl to the inc. This is just to give you a general idea of what needs to be done and what you will need. When i find the actual guide i will post it here for you.
EDIT: I cant find the thread on xda, but from looking around google it seems all you need to do is flash a metro prl. This will allow metro to connect to and program the inc with the correct network settings. You still need the qpst program to change the prl, and you also need to find a metro prl. I want to flash my inc to straight talk so i am going to be doing some serious googling on the subject.
