I have been trying to figure out how to edit mutimedia settings in the ##3282# menu so that RTSP port is 0.0.0.0 and proxy is 0 by default when the rom installs.
if anyone can help me it would be much appreciated
You first need to make sure you're installing a touchwiz based rom, since CM7 and MIUI roms don't have this hidden menu. Next, you need to find you MSL Number. You can either call Sprint and hope you get a representative that will be nice enough to tell you or follow these instructions
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/sprint-epic-4g/135422-easy-way-get-your-msl.html
After you get that number, simply type ##DATA# into your dialer, go to edit, type in your MSL, and navigate to Multimedia to change the proxy. Note that most custom roms have this already fixed so it might not need to be done. Good luck anyways
Hi there every one I have been flashing phones to metro PCS for a while now But this is my first How to. I'm going to show you how to flash your sprint/Verizon Galaxy S3 to metropcs or cricket, with 3g data working.
What you'll need:
DFS demo mode will do. But if you can, make a small donation.
Samsung drivers. Just download keys from http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
metropcs Prl 3032 from here http://metroprl.blogspot.com/
WARNING!! YOUR PHONE MUST BE IN METROPCS INVENTORY IN ORDER TO GET SERVICE, YOU CAN FLASH YOUR PHONE ALL DAY BUT IF YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR ESN IN METROPCS DATA BASE THEN YOU WON'T GET SERVICE NO MATER WHAT YOU DO. UNDERSTOOD?
One of the first things you'll need is to get your phones MSL number, this is the number you'll need to get access to your phones secret menu. The method i am about to show you was discovered by billard412 this post, http://metroprl.blogspot.com/ if you have a verizon your MSL is 000000
Now lets get that MSl (you must be rooted) download terminal emulator or the, Get my msl app from market. Now on your dial pad type ##3282# now you'll have a screen with vie or edit click on edit, now open terminal emulator or the app, if you are using terminal type: su then enter---now type-- getprop ril.MSL then enter you might get a nothing back or you might get the number.
ps: if you are on JL13 you won't be able to get it downgrade your base-band.
if you didn't get nothing back go the the screen that asks for your msl and type any 6 digit number when it sais wrong code go back to the terminal and re type the comand and wala. If you use the app same steps just whith the app.
Now that you have your MSL open DFS, now go to your phones dial pad and dial *#7284# and select qualcome USB Setting, now select the last option DM+MODEM+ADB and plug in your usb to your pc. I normally open device manager to see what port my phone is, I sugest you do the same.
Now that you know what port your phone is on DFS click on the port tab and select your port now find the MSL or SPC space and enter your MSL then hit the play button to the left, now that your phone is unlocked we are ready to make changes.look at my images so you can compare.
Click on the programming Tab
Now hit the read button and change the MIN number MIN D , SPC, and MND number for the one provided by metropcs.
Now look to the right is the PRL section click on the load button look for the prl the click on the write button, now on the reset button and your phone will reset, I like to do it one step at a time. Now test out the PRL by going to settings about. or just dial *611 from phone and you should get metropcs. If you didn't, make sure that the mid has changed.
Onece you have that Down re hook up your phone to DFS like before click on te program tab and now on the Data tab. Change settings to match my pics and to get your password use this http://www.whiterabbit.org/android/ to calculate your metropcs MSL just type in your ESN . Once you have it hit write.
Now click on the mobile ip tab and hit read change setting to match pic in the AAA and the HA put in your metropcs MSL ,then hit both of the write buttons, and then the reset button, wala your almost done.
next step set data setting within the phone to stream youtube, Pandora and other multimedia apps that need streaming with in cricket or metropcs

MMS: follow this guide by Max_pain: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875760 you will need a file from there make sure to thank him.
This is the biggest hurdle, which very few people have successfully gotten to work. It is not a perfect solution but it works very well for us.
Download the following Zip file (not flashable):
Follow these instructions carefully:
1. Download and install Titanium Backup. You will also need the PRO version, so you'll need to shell out a couple of bucks if you don't already own it. It's well worth it anyways.
2. Download and install APN Backup & Restore from the Market.
3. Open APN Backup & Restore, ignore the ICS warning, and click on "Backup APNs". Exit out of APN Backup & Restore.
4. Place this folder in your SD Card.
5. Copy MetroPCS_MMS_Send_APN.xml from this folder to the APN Backup folder in the root of the SD Card.
6. Open Titanium Backup, go under Backup/Restore, and find APN Backup & Restore, press and select "Make system app."
7. Open APN Backup & Restore, ignore the ICS warning, press menu, and disable ICS check. Exit APN Backup & Restore.
8. Open APN Backup & Restore again, and now there should not be an ICS warning!
9. Click on "Delete APNs."
10. Click on Restore APNs and select "MetroPCS_MMS_Send.APN.xml".
10a. Press Ok after selecting the above.
10b. Press No when you get the message asking Yes or No.
11. Using Root Explorer or a similar app, copy the SecMMS.apk file from this folder to your /system/app/ folder.
11a. Make sure you are in R/W mode and click Yes to overwrite existing file if you get the message.
11b. Make sure to delete/overwrite any existing SecMms.apk from the /system/app directory. You should only have one SecMms.apk file.
11c. Make sure to delete any SecMms.odex if you're on the stock or an odexed rom.
12. Set permissions to RW-R--R--
13. Reboot.
14. Open the Messaging app and under Settings make sure to check (enable) "SMS split".

i tried this and dont know why my s3 keep saying Sprint and it dosent receive calls o text...
Can you please please help me if i do something wrong
Working Talk Text and Data
I literally got my talk text and data working 2 min ago. I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 that I now am using on Metro PCS.
What I did,
Step 1.
Install Samsung Drivers
Install Kies (To update: I was on 4.1.1 now I'm running 4.1.2)
Step 2.
Root Samsung Galaxy S3. I used Casual one click (It's literally one click)
- Google search key phrase 'root verizon samsung galaxy s3 casual one click'
Step 3.
Now you should have SuperSU
Download
1. APN Manager- I have APN Manager Pro
2. Titanium Backup
Step 4.
I used Titanium Backup to uninstall all the Verizon bloatware, and overall junk I don't use. With removing bloatware click on backup/restore then select and hold APN Manager Pro (or whatever) and select convert to system app.
Step 5.
If not updated to 4.1.2, do so. - You'll need to have the ability to add an APN, only possible with 4.1.2.
I bypassed setting the language etc. with the four corners technique. Google Keyword: 'android four corners trick'
Step 6.
I went out and activated a MetroPCS plan, and got a simcard. At this point I could make and receive calls and text, but no data or mms.
Step 7.
From APN Manager Pro I clicked insert new APN. this can also be done from settings -> More settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> More options soft key: Add new access point. (Updating from phone settings in my opinion is simpler)
Step 8.
New APN
Name: "fast.t-mobile.com" (You can put whatever you want)(without quotes)
APN : "fast.t-mobile.com" (without quotes)
MMSC: "htetep:mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc" (without quotes.Sorry i think you understand what i mean, please put in the letters and not htetep)
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
make sure APN is enabled is checked
Everything else has 'Not set', my APN protocol also says IPv4
Step 9.
Close settings completely
Go back to settings --> Access Point Names to make sure it is still there. Select it if not selected already.
Step 10.
Power off
pull out battery and sim card
wait 10 sec
power on
Step 11.
Enjoy data and mms.
Thank you guys for the instructions, I think I'm about to do the same for my Verizon S3.
But before I do, can you guys post what kind of speed you're getting on the new Metro(GSM)/T-Mobile 3G network?
I remember MetroPCS original 3G on CDMA was horrible and I just want to make sure the Verizon S3 won't suffer the same faith.
Thanks again in advance for you input!
Has anyone tried this with either JB? My phone is on the 4.3 update and I was wondering if it will work.

Your post is very promising to me since I'm looking to do the exact same thing and not looking forward to the complicated process detailed in the OP. I have a few clarifying questions I hope you don't mind answering for me:
1) Are you limited to 2G and 3G only, or are you able to have 4G/LTE connections?
2) Sorry to oversimplify your method, but boiled down, it sounds like you accomplished exactly what I want to do more or less by simply rooting, debloating, and changing the APN settings. Is this accurate? (Yes I've read your post all the way through five times+, I get there are certain important details to follow, but is my summary correct?)
3) I get the feeling you won't be able to answer this one, but worth a shot: Do you have any idea if this will work if the Verizon S3 came with KitKat (4.4.2) installed? Exhaustive research tells me it's impossible to downgrade android versions from this version.
Thanks for sharing this, and hopefully any answers you can give me. I'll be updating my post on whether or not it works for me when I try later
You are correct, root + debloat, change APN settings. When I had the phone I was limited to 3g speeds. I was still able to use maps, and surf without pulling my hair out. Although, most everywhere I went had wifi so I just ended up using that. As far as number 3, I am not sure. I no longer have the phone. Does the APN show up in network settings now? Could you just try the settings above? You could check if casual one click supports 4.4.2. If it does, you could give it a shot. I didn't have to use it, but if anything goes wrong use ODIN to restore your phone.
My sprint Samsung s3 has no card slot, and I'm with metro, can I use this method and get my metro plan on my s3??? Please need help!!!
Got a few questions specifically regarding the new aokp JellyBean rom for the Epic, and I thought I'd post them here since the original thread got shut down:
1. Is there any way to get the "enter" button to not send messages in the SMS application?
2. Is there any way to prevent the "mount your USB storage!" popup from coming up every time the device is connected to a computer?
3. Back on the samsung based roms, I was able to to type ##debug## to get to a menu where I could force 1xrtt mode for extremely low signal situations. In the new rom, I found you can get to that same menu by typing in *#*#debug#*#*, but any screen prompting for the msl code is now impassable. I know my msl code, but it gives me a "modem error" no matter what I type and asks "modem exception occurs", to which the only option is "yes" (clicking it just closes the application).
Any way to get around this?
Thanks

1: press the function key before enter.
2: No idea.
3: Have you tried using voice search to access the menu? Also, you could buy ROM Control for this.

Sorry, I should've been more specific. I was actually aware of this, but I was hoping that there would be a way to change this functionality on the stock messaging application so that I don't have to hit the Fn key to get the enter button to do what it's supposed to do.

It's not that I can't access the menus, it's that some parts of the menus prompt for my MSL code before I can access them, and for some reason, typing in my MSL code (000000) doesn't do the trick anymore, it just gives me that "Modem Error" and lets me know that a "Modem exception occurs". My only choice in the dialog is "Yes", but that just exits the menu completely.

I actually do have USB debug enabled already and a widget to easily toggle it off for use with computers that don't have the driver installed. I see the popup upon USB connection with USB debug enabled or disabled.

I'm not sure if you're saying your MSL code is 000000, or if you were using zeros as placeholders. If you are saying that your MSL is 000000, that would be very unlikely. To get your correct MSL, use a Terminal Emulator of your choice and type "su" and press enter, then "getprop ril.MSL" press enter again and you should see your MSL. Also, you wouldn't happen to be using a NS4G modem, would you? I'm not too sure on ways to fix this, because it hasn't happened to me.

Good question - My MSL is, as a matter of fact 000000, (I even doublechecked with the terminal on the off chance that something changed it) because I changed it to that to make it easier to access in CDMA workshop, qpst, and qxdm back when I was working to clone my old phone's service so that I could continue using my sprint sero $30 unlimited data plan.
As for the modem, I am still using the stock Epic EL30 modem. Would this be causing the problem? And if you don't mind sharing, which rom and modem are you using? What happens when you dial *#*#DEBUG#*#* at the dialer?
Thanks

Like I said, I'm not sure what causes the modem exception error. I'm using Effsi's 0611 build of PACman ROM with didhiy's 0606 nitest, and the NS4G LF2 modem. And when I dial that, it prompts for the MSL, I put in my MSL and it goes to the debug menu with no problem.

root needed on some/most
hidden menu needs enabled too
to enable hidden menu when rooted
i used ES File Explorer to edit the following file (mount read write / and /sys (unmount after edit. i thin you only need to mount / read write
/efs/carrier/HiddenMenu from OFF to ON (note the caps)
ES File Explorer has built-in text editor so use that.
when editing the file make sure not to hit enter key. just use backspace to delete OFF then type ON and save. dont hit enter. (you might be able to but dont if you dont have to)
these are codes that i have been using on android 4.3 and up stock roms
some i have used in past roms
please hit like button if you find it usefull
did lots of testing and these are codes relevant to flashing.
there are tons more codes but these are for technical stuff and you have to be very careful

If you have root and xposed installed then download (x tether) from xposed and enable it in modules.it works flawless.
Do you have your msl or a way to edit your apn?
With msl:
1. Dial ##3283#
2. Go to edit, enter your msl
3. Go to apn settings
4. For bot your LTE and EHRPD apns, scroll down to APN TYPE and add ",dun" to the end. After doing each one make sure to hit save.
5. Your done
Apn editor
Do step 4
If you don't have either, ask your carrier for your msl or find a way to get it.

My msl is 000000 and I am not on sprint...my phone is unlocked and use CDMA internationally and I didn't have these apn settings.
I activate the EVDO by using DFS without using apn settings.
so the wifi hotspot doesn't work for me except that if there is a specific MOD to be done to SecSettings or SystemUI and works in Marshmallow for our sprint device.
