My friend and i recently worked on flashing my samsung epic 4g to metro pcs. it is somewhat flashed because when i call *228 the metro pcs jingle plays and everything. however when i get to the option where i switch phones it always tells me that something went wrong and sends me to a human metro pcs assisstant. i talked to the assisstant but i didnt want to tell them that it was a flashed phone. is there something i did wrong in the process of flashing or does it always do that with flashed phones? HELLPP

Hi, so I just found someone on craigslist to flash my phone to metro . he did it with success but he never ported my number to the new phone. after he gave it to me... he said he would help me later on and to call him the next day. but after he helped me he never got back to me so i went to metro myself and ported my number... but metro messed up my settings and i no longer have 3g.
Can someone help me get my 3g back? thanks
Metro PCS offers a service called "MetroFLASH" my local metro store said they can take my HTC EVO and metroflash it to the metro pcs network.
They than said some things might not work properly. When i search here i cant tell what is the difference between "MetroFLASH" and flashing a evo.
(i am a newb)
What i am trying to find is info on what happens when metro flashes a sprint htc evo 4g with "MetroFLASH" and is there any thing that i have to do. thanks all.
Basically, a "metroflash" is not a rom flash at all. It is metropcs adding your evo esn to the network (and configuring other items) so it can work on metro.
Flashing an evo os changing its rom (e.g. operating system).
1. You take the sprint evo to metro and let them "metroflash" it. (adding to metropcs)
2. This gives you text and talk. You will not have mms or internet yet until you root the evo and configure it using bloodykiller69's method (there are others but this worked best for me).
Metropcs will NOT flash roms (unless on the d/l).
Hope this helps.
I was considering flashing my Epic to Metro since my contract is up with Sprint and was wondering if it still works? I called Metro and they said that the phone would be removed from the network within a few months. Is there any truth to this? My second questions is can I run CM9 on Metro? Thank you.
My buddy got a samsung Fascinate flashed to metro, I hear it was sorta similar to the epic. I also hear that CM9 worked out for Metro flashed phones.
So i bought this phone for cheap brand new in box from a foriegn national that purchesed it outright when they got here no contract ( they didnt like it and bought an iphone 5 days later and now i have it). hoping i could flash it over to sprint and upgrade from my e4gt so i can use the beautiful lte in the area.... yeah Rockford. but im currently struggling are there any tips that you guys have or am i screwed...
heres what ive tried. so as i got it i turned it on and it was on 4.0.4 with full signal and working 4g. i used the rooting method that is posted here for sprint gs3's as there isnt one specific for us cellular phones. flashed back to a us cellular kernel as it would boot but claimed no sim was inseterd and boom worked and had root.... then rebooted in recovery and tried to odin a sprint stock rom... failed throws errors. rebooted in to recovery cwm 6.0 and tried to flash some sprint and us cellular custom, stock, and stock modified roms fails checks every time and wont flash. i know 99% of the hardware is exactly the same so it shouldnt be impossible just looking to get this on sprint ... now i have odin the lastest stock update for us cellular just in case it really isnt worth it so i can sell it.... yes i have reset the flash counter and the device says normal device state not modified so that shouldnt be an issue.
on another note my imei number is only 14 digits... isnt it supposed to be 15. when i try and activate it. (assuming i CAN get it flashed to sprint) wont that be a problem. and btw it is the same digits on the box and ive even done the conversion from the meid-dec number and it gives me the same 14 numbers
I don't think USC uses the same LTE bands as sprint so even if you got it working it would be physically impossible for it to connect to the sprint 4G network. May be better off to look for someone to trade with you, or sell that one and buy a sprint version.
http://www.phonescoop.com/carriers/carrier.php?c=12 - according to this USC is on LTE 700/1700, while Sprint uses LTE on 1900.
Damn well it was a nice thought.... Any one want to trade.. Lol well thanks
First i want to thank mrfeuss for this awesome rom it works great!!
If anyone can help-I have a att&t G pro got it unlocked had metro put a sim in it as ive been on merto pcs for awhile
i just flashed mrfeuss's omni rom at first i had no way to make calls everything else worked -text,email,data etc except calls.
i found the att&t tmobile fix and flashed it,now calls are better than before! but in my notifaction panel it says tmobile where it would
usually say metro pcs it also says tmobile is my carrier??
i know they both merged and they use each others towers but am i only on there network now somehow?? i still have the metro pcs sim
so im a little confused here.
