pretty much just add esn to database...activate the account with that esn and then follow my guide and use either my roms or my script on a Sprint OTA based rom
I get the drivers installed then don't get anything else. I guess I'm gonna have to fork out $70 for a remote flash. Damn.
No need just go to a regular Metro PCS store, not an affiliate, and they charge $10...Follow Bloody's guide very easy take 30 minutes as long as you follow everything step by step.
lol. had a numberswap on the account and was entering the new number instead of the old one! I had to reformat my netbook with win 7 for the drivers to work. then I was able to connect on port 3. I have voice and text now, no data. I read about tolken's zip but It's not working for me.
Help please!!
Just use the bloodykiller86 guide and his metrodroid ROM easiest way to get DATA to work...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795182
followed the guide to a T. The local metropcs guy don't flash phones. I told him "I saw on the internet" right, and he started saying youtube. I told him, "no, xda" he said well if you think you can hack that **** go ahead and try. My text were all out of order with the metro droid roms. CM 6.1.1 - MetroPCS Edition made that strait. but with no htc sync you have to use WiFi. Well, I don't know how to set the evo up for a PPP connection but I think that's a whole other thread. Autostart.root. The tolken's zip file flashed. no go for the mms. I live in Mt. Pleasant MI. I'm sure a lot of people up here would be thrilled!
and I followed blood's guide several times, thanks. That's what's got me this far. Thank you blood! CM 6.1.1 - MetroPCS Edition is so nice. If you might be able to help me, I got yahoo messenger and mIRC.
where are you from before you even waste your time. I paid 20 and went through all of that to find out I cant even use my Evo on metro because its dual band and i wont get service in New York.
Mt. Pleasant MI
who would I ask? metrotecks don't know nothing. less than I do anyway.
if that's the case I don't want metropcs in Central Michigan. Boost/Sprint has the 3G's In Mt. P but I would have to know how to go back to sprint. Would flashing an old IMG do that?
I looked but couldn't find a way to make the epic work on metro, is it even possible, if so how?

It is possible as I have seen it running... you could try and go in to your local metro shop and ask if a rep there can do it for as this is how my friend if florida got it done... from my understanding not all of them will and most will not care if they mess something up so beware... I used to have the link to a video on how to get it working on boost but I can't find it at the moment but once I do I will send it over. Can't imagine its too different just switching a couple things up

I'm on Metro. I however deleted the outdated Metro Rom I use to have since I'm no longer in Metro's coverage, I now roam 24/7 on stock EI22 using 1x roaming.
I do recall what it was though.
The begnning of my signature is what I had running with the Metro rom. It ran init. Scripts, it had autostart.root, was on EI18, and it had iptables.
I had taken my device to a place that was an authorized MetroPCS dealer for 75$. You may find a place that does it near you, just check craigslist. Walking into your average store, or even corporate store won't resolve the issue. Before anything, first and foremost you need the ESN of your epic added to Metro, which can be manually input with authorization, or by 'flashing' the phone as another device. Its def possible.

Most metropcs guides are outdated, keep that in mind, you also need the spc code for the password in order for mms and wap to ever work.

Ok, I already searched the dev forum and this one and I get no results for THIS phone to THIS carrier.
I have an Epic 4g from Sprint (the first one that came out, not the touch) currently flashed to cricket and all is well with that flash, but I want to. Flash to iwireless. The iwireless I'm talking about is the one that uses the sprint network, not the one that uses t-mobile.
Can anyone help me with this?
I know I may have to flash back to sprint to do this but I don't see a flash anywhere for iwireless.
Ok, since no ones answering how about this,...
When I get my iwireless phone, can I use odin or something to copy files and settings etc, from it to my epic?
The only hurdle I really see other than the flashing is getting a rep to activate it on their system.
Am I better off just um....(star wars attack of the) "blank" ing it?
Sorry. No one here uses that carrier so all are unknown. You may be the first. You would use Titanium Backup to backup and restore 3rd party apps. Unless it's the same hardware
Running the same firmware then you cannot restore system settings.

I don't know about US carriers but most of epic user outside US use cdma workshop or qpstn to make it works on different carrier
Here is a link to the thread for this fix. It works for all carriers even when not on cyanogenmod. This is not my file so please thank the person who made this.

Ok, by the responses I think I wasn't entirely clear what I am trying to do....
I have an Epic 4g, that is flashed to Cricket... everything works fine.
I now would like to flash it to a different carrier, iwireless which is a sprint mvno.
I do not see a tutorial to flash it to iwireless,... WHAT DO I NEED to do this?
I now have two iwireless phones, one is a sanyo something... the other is a samsung factor. both are cheap phones.
Is it just a matter of calling up iwireless and begging them to activate my epic's meid/esn on my account?
or do I need to flash prl and stuff? if so, since there is no tutorial, are there settings in the phones that I have already activated (on iwireless) that I can go in with cdma workshop or whatever, and copy to my Epic? and THEN call and tell them i got a phone and try not to let them know what it is?
please note, I DO NOT NEED ANY DATA OR TEXT, just talk. I use Google Voice but call latency is HORRID, which is why I need a paid service for calling, and NO I'm not gonna just get another phone cause.... there is nothing quite like my epic, I'm sure many will agree, AND this carriers android options suck anyway, my options are, sprint express, sanyo zio, kyocera milano, htc hero, lg optimus, samsung replenish. ... see, my epic HAS a keyboard, and it is the best keyboard out there. aside from the stratosphere.
All the flashing guides are pretty universal. It should be a very similar process for this new company.

Did you ever figure it out? I also use an Epic 4g and google voice, and i would like to flash to Iwireless as well. I don't have a phone for that carrier anymore so I haven't been able to try.
Im sort of new with flashing a phone to a different carrier. ive done everything from rooting and custom roms but never this...
im considering buying a samsung galaxy s3 for verizon, but i need to know if its possible to flash it to sprint and if so, how to flash it.
ive seen different posts and different websites saying u can go to sprint and ask them to activate it... i doubt that will ever work. i just want to know the steps to flashing the phone from verizon to sprint (maybe like a software or a set of steps?) --- before i buy the phone...
if anyone can help id really appreciate it.

I haven't seen this done yet, may be easier to just but a Sprint one.
Your issue will be the radios Verizon goes off a different bandwidth. And unless you get the developer edition, you have to deal with the locked boot loader bs.

How did you get voice and text? I have 3g but no voice or text which is really crazy
will never have lte service
correct me if i'm wrong but i've been reading that the LTE from at&t version and sprint aren't compatible so that would lead me to think that a verizon phone on sprint would never have LTE

Seems to be working OK. But I have slow data issues on Prl 53000. It does show that I am on Evdo Rev A. I did just get a roaming data notice too. Something about too much roaming data. I'm on the stock LJ7 rom and rooted. Also, when I dial 611, still goes to Sprint. What am I doing wrong here? New rom?

Very nice video.
I have the same setup. With stock and rooted LJ7 ROM and Baseband. When I dial 611, I get Verizon. Phone and texting works fine, but I can't get 3G to work. I tried to replace the 53000 PRL with the 1X one and still the same. I'm getting "No network connection. No signal found for mobile networks".

Hmmm. Sometimes, what fixes it for me is to just reboot the phone.
Otherwise, sounds like something didn't flash over correctly. I always try and make sure that when flashing, I check the log and see that its successful / complete. If not, you'll end up with issues.
One issue I had was my phone number wasn't showing up when going to About Phone Status in Settings. It only showed the last four numbers. Reflashing worked fine for me.
And other thing. Did you follow the instructions about going the web on the gusto 2 first? I had to actually pick a website and try to open it.
Good luck!

You need to call verizon tell them your phone is not receiving text, and no data. Have them to reauthenicate the account and maybe you will get data then...... The problem with flashing to Verizon Prepaid is one wrong move and account gets locked out.........

You didn't write something correctly or missed a step. dial *228 on your phone. It may not let you dial the one or the two so just hang out and it will program your phone for you also then write the 53000 prl. I promise that if you follow the video exactly you will get 3g data unless you live somewhere that doesn't have 3g data.
I also want to touch on vipers comment about getting locked out of service. I'm constantly saying this but I'll say it again. I've been on verizon prepaid myself for over a year now. I'm currently on the 35 dollar plan. I haven't had any problems with them at all. I've also flashed several of my friends phones to VP and they haven't had any problems except for one guy every time he gets drunk the next day I have to rewrite his aaa and ha password (still can't figure that out) but no one has lost their account.
What do I think is happening to these accounts? Nothing I believe these individuals are people/businesses who get paid to flash phones and don't want the secrets out there and this is probably killing there business. People get concerned by problems and start to wonder about that. For instance a few years ago I was working for this small cell phone flashing company and flashing to boost started to kick off. Well we didn't have everything set up like this other company did so when someone came in we had this rumor going on that this guy who had his cell phone since they first came out, lost his number because boost found out and then he went to their shop and threw brick through their window.
Saying somthing like that to a customer we already had wasn't really targeted to him\her. But to any friends of theirs that questioned them about their service believe it or not but people like to talk. Especially about bricks being thrown through windows. I didn't stay long with that company but it's an example.

I was I've through all of your posts (takes about ten minutes) and your xda repoire at first is to just ask a bunch of questions and then you started to sell yourself as a cell phone flasher. Then you found out how to pull aaa keys and refused to tell anyone and blamed it on cdma workshop not being free. You can still show the process and I'm calling you out on that and the fact your trying to scare people into not going to verizon prepaid. You may fool some people but you don't fool me.
Hmm.. I must have misunderstood the *228 thing in the video. But anyways. Now that I did *228 thing, I'm stuck with the roaming indicator. Does that matter? I plan on flashing another rom and hope it changes it. Also, how does doing *228 affect the phone? It was working fine earlier and I even clocked 3G speeds at 2.7mbps.
Thanks

You can call me out all you want, I have done several phones while members watched and seen the keys pulled in. I have not tried in no way to scare people from verizon prepaid. I flash to them myself, but you are dead wrong if you do not think that a account will need to be reathenicated sometimes. I have nothing to prove to you but only offered a suggestion to the guy having issues (now my comment was seen that way by you, I have no idea) . Anyways good luck to you in your venture as I am way above arguing this with you. No one is fooling anyone here but you..... I don't need to sell myself, proof is in the pudding bro.......

I know your gonna read this because curiousity will bring you back to see my rebuttal. It's how life works. I'm not saying that you can't pull the aaa keys what I'm saying is that you refuse to share the knowledge of how to do it. You made a thread to talk about it but really I believe that you made that thread to make a profit. There is free software to record your screen and there is also hacked software for camtasia there is no excuse not to share especially on xda.
You probably won't respond because you don't want to share this info and pretending like you didn't see this post is probably better than trying to come up with an excuse because there isn't one.
I reflashed the phone again slowly making sure I follow each step of the video and also did the *228 on the phone. After I disable Wifi, I still get "No network connection. No Signal found for mobile networks."

Hmmm.. I never had a problem with the Sim request. From my understanding, you probably still have the Mobile Network set to LTE. That should be the only reason why it's looking for a Sim Card.
I also noticed a different PRL after activating on Verizon.
