Hey guys I recently got my phone flashed to metro pcs before I took it I flashed the fl24 stock rom, browser isn't working tho and I want to change the Rom, is it possible to flash a Rom like I used to when it was on Sprint or is there any special instructions because of the carrier?
Thanks!

Hello XDA,
Well I just wanted to let people know that most of the Rom's made available for DInc2 are amazing, Problem I've noticed they aren't compatible with Metro Pcs, in no rom was i able to successfully put the phone in Diag Mode. or OTA download Metro Pcs PRL file, so what i came to fine out is STICK with stock version of DInc2 rom, Unless someone here know a better solution to fix this issue?
Issue I found:
*After Successful flash to metro pcs then update to custom rom will lose all connection to metro pcs, and cant download PRL Files.
pcboy, do you have any updates on this? I'm looking to move over to Metro as well and I don't want to buy a new phone. I've read that using Houdinisoft to flash over will work but I won't have access to the internet - that's really not an option.
I also saw you posted in the developers section and I tried replying to that but I can't. You stated you were having some FC issues, have they been resolved yet? Was your brothers internet working? If so what did he/you use to flash? Which rom are you running? I'm currently using CM7.
i plan on doing this in a few days. i have had many other phones from other carriers flashed for metro and the only thing you need houdini for is to get your esn in their database. im sure there is a way like it used to be where you would just have to load something like qpst and load a prl on.
I have the virgin mobile epic4g touch /gs2 and in an attempt to root it i accidentally installed a sprint rom onto the phone and have no backup. Now my phone looks like the sprint version. Most things still work but mms does not. This is the reason I am looking to install the original VM rom so if anyone could post a copy of theirs and explain how to install it I would greatly appreciate it!!
Hello. I know that there might be a thread for this already, so if you wouldn't mind pointing me to it, I'd appreciate it.
Anyhow, I am trying to flash a custom 4.1, 4.2 ROM to a Boost Mobile Epic 4G Touch. I've done this w/o problems to a Sprint-versioned phone, but all of the ROMs I've been trying for the Boost phone barf on install, obviously sensing that I don't have a Sprint phone.
Any and all help greatly appreciated.
Thank you, in advance.

I was under the impression that if you flash a jellybean rom onto boost epic 4g touch, that was once on sprint, you have to make sure you also flash/use a jellybean kernel and modem, NOT a GB or ICS kernel or modem.
Also you have to manually update the prl. There are threads for manually updating prl.
Good luck

Hello there, I think I can help because I have a Boost Mobile Epic 4g touch phone. Anyways in case if you haven't got an answer yet, the epic on boost is almost identical to the sprint phone, with the exception of the boot up screen, the scroll down window saying boost or sprint, and the boost id apps etc. What matters when flashing Roms is two things..1. First off make sure that the Rom is specified for your device under the model number SPH-D710........ 2. Second check your Android version and Software version. The Android version is simple, if it ways 4.0.x (the x being whatever) you know your on Ice Cream Sandwich, but if it says 4.1x then your on jelly bean. So the next thing to know is your software version which can be displayed under different places (Baseband, kernal, and Softwhere version). Its usually 4 digits, For example FI27, FI18, etc, I have GA10 and am running jellybean. IMPORTANT: Picture texts and other multi media devices do not work after flashing a sprint rom however, there is a simply solution which can be flashed into your phone by a custom recovery such as AGAT. Here is the link to do the trick. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1758735 What that does is change your APN settings to the correct one to your boost device. I've tried many methods, this is the only thing that has worked for me and your do not have to mess with the APN settings or download anything for the market to correct the problem. Any questions and I'll be happy to help

Hey first post on here, but I recently flashed a sprint S3 to metro, and I`m wondering if I can still use the same roms I was using when this phone belonged to sprint? The guy at metro didnt touch my root but he did install some random rom in replace of the one I came in there with..

What's the name of the ROM he installed? Usually if the phone is flashed correctly to different carrier like metro and apns are correct, Sprint roms will work.

Not the same phone but I flashed my Sprint HTC Evo LTE to Page Plus and never had issues with flashing Sprint base roms. The rom should not affect your flash. I even updated the Firmware to the latest and that didn't affect my flash either. Although the guy who flashed my phone to Page Plus said ; never update the firmware as it would Bork my flash. He was wrong

Hi everyone. I have my aunts phone and im trying to give her a new rom. I think she is on stock rom now . Her phone is a Sprint GS3 and she already paid someone to put it on metro. Since its already flashed to metro, can I just put an updated sprint Rom on there and it will work?
