ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=MetroPCS
gsm.operator.alpha=MetroPCS
gsm.operator.numeric=310027
Save and exit
With Root Explorer it will rename the old one build.prop.back DONT DELETE!!!!

No Luck Either
I have done all of the steps listed in the instructions and using anycut, but cannot get a web connection.
I am on ICS 4.0.4 on Samsung SPH-D710 from Sprint and am on MetroPCS for talk/text.
Tried different settings such as mmsc and plspictures, and different MSL codes.
Any suggestions??? Frustrated!
thanks!

I do not understand why it is stated to not touch the MNC and MCC. On the setup settings it is required to enter these fields, it will not accept 'no value' in the fields.

I have mine figured out. It took some time but got it working. The above mms fix listed here only worked for my GB and not my ICS, in fact, it screwed with my web access. I have two Sprint Epic Touch S2 flashed for metro-one EL29 GB and the other FI27 ICS. I am not near my pc where I have the files and I think I wrote down the steps. My FI27 is rooted and I had to use Odin to flash a zip file that made my mms work. I will come back later today and post how I did it.

I tried the Epic 4G Touch flash and it did not work. I am using the
FI27 firmware on my SPH-D710

You used the ics zip? You may have to reboot once after flash also clear cache and dcache also go into dialer ##data# msl code and check to see if it changed apn settings to metro. You can also use anycut to check after flashing zip if when you open apns in anycut it says metro pcs then changes have been made.

Sorry I haven't posted the links, still visiting relatives for the holidays. I will tomorrow for sure. If someone hasn't posted a solution. For me, I didn't use anycut, did not make changes by inputting changes either, just flashed a zip file and that's it. I do have my S2 rooted and have a custom recovery installed.

I have done all of this too. I may need to re-do everything. OR...it could be the Sprint files re-setting everything.
There is also a better program than QPST: http://www.cdmatool.com/Download
it is called DFS and works on all windows platforms. It is designed very well and does everything.
I will let you know if I figure it out.

ROM Manager Problems
It appears that the issues are stemming from ROM Mgr and CWM.
Even with these installed, I cannot install from SD Card. Is there a different way to do this?
Or a better ROM Manager program?
I have never had issues like this on other Android phones.

I would not recommend rom manager just hold vol up and power your rom should have cwm recovery with it if not go to development and find the one that matches your build and flash that way.
If you give me your current build I can link all you need I would suggest a jellybean leak just pm me will walk you thru

Here is how to get mms working for metropcs, ICS, FI27. This zip file is for the FI27 on ICS, I haven't tested it on other ICS versions or custom rom. I am using the touchwiz rom. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES- PLEASE DO SO ON YOUR OWN RISK
To check what build number you're on:
Settings/about phone/Build number (last four)- this one is for FI27
BACK UP YOUR PHONE IF YOU HAVE CWM OR CUSTOM RECOVERY
Sorry that I can't give credit for this zip file- I know I found it here on XDA- please let me know or give credit to the OP of the zip file.
Your smartphone has to have CWM to flash a zip file. If not, I will include the files necessary to get Custom Recovery. If you already have CWM or Custom Recovery just flashed the zip file "Epic4Touch-credomobile-ics-mms-testfix-signed"- place or move this file onto your sd card or internal card
Flash a zip file, power off/press power button and volume up at the same time/install zip from sd card/power button/choose zip from sdcard/find your zip file/power/reboot
How to install Custom Recovery (CREDIT: kbking77)
Must have Odin installed on Samsung S2 and rooted.
1. Put AGAT FI27 REPACK into your Samsung
2. Start Odin (on your Samsung), it will ask if you want to install add on-
3. Click on Kernel and select where you installed the AGAT file in (internal or external)
4. Once you find the AGAT file, select it
5. Click flash firmware and continue when asking about your battery, if it is under 50%
6. A warning telling to continue at your own risk, press continue
7. Another dialogue box pops up with MD5 signatures have been detected, press check
8. Your Samsung will restart, wait until it boots up completely and then power off (power down)
9. press and hold power button and volume button up at the same time until the Galaxy logo pops on
10. your now have the ability to flash, update…
Hope this helps you get MMS on your metropcs flashed S2- mine is still working.
Update: I removed a zip file that did not work. The working zip file is below.

This is the zip file I flashed on three S2 phones (4.0.4) now, mms working. Sorry I can't give credit to the OP, I know I found it here on XDA. If you know the OP, please let me know or post name to give credit.
Update: Credit for this outstanding zip file goes to Oakieville

[Q] Ran Down grade, Revolutionary, boot loop, what I did-where I am-No T-Mobile Servi

Update: After the end of this post when I re-installed the Factory Rom. After letting the phone sit for an Hour powered up I got Service. I wish to run a custom rom and will return after to let everyone know how things went.
I used the Guide [GUIDE] Comprehensive S-OFF/Root Methods found in developers forum. to down grade the phone from .98 to 97.
Then using that Guide ran the revoutionary step
It was so long ago (24hr and hundreds of forums) I think I had a boot loop issue at the end step of either Down Grading or Revoutionary.
Thinking Though what I had Done during the process I realized I never had a SD card installed. (No Part of the guide did I see it said be sure to have #mb Card installed.
To stop the Bootloop I found my way to recovery mode and reset factory defaults.
Then reran the guide again.
this time I got stuck here
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.sh --undo This will reboot your phone one more time, this time fully stable and will boot completely. Continue once fully booted.

Found my way to Recovery and Reset Factory Defaults
Well Now I thought I would exsplore the Recovery Menu abit because it felt the I had a rooted phone with S-off and for all practical was Ready.
Using This Guide [Reference] Droid Incredible 2 GSM Roms, Patches, and Unlocking help. it was time to unlock the SIM card for use with my T-mobile provider.
Purchased Lock code unlocked and all is well (not quite)
I have no service Voice, data, No bars. SIM card is detected.
Looking back to The Rooting process Why Could this Be? during the Revolutionary step each time the phone reset and was stuck on the white HBOOT screan doing nothing. At the end of the Forum I found that the Raidio needed to be flashed. I Renamed the file 1.09.01.0312_vivow_Radio_PG32IMG.zip to "PG32IMG.zip" on the root of the SD. Then on this step HBOOT look as if it used the file and installed.
Now Still No Service.
Lets try a Custom ROM
I installed Cyanogen 7 (cm-7-20130301-NIGHTLY-vivow)
Still No Service.
More Searching lead me to Setting the APN I did so with the Following settings

What Thread or forum am I not finding to get this phone running on T-Mobile? Do I need to call T-Mobile with details of the Unlocked DI2.

Did you choose GSM in the songs instead of CDMA? There's a course you can put into the dialer if there is no option in your roms settings for this though I don't remember what it is
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app

Yes I did choose GSM. Had to to even get the APN options. Well I did get it all to work as Updated at the top. Must had been me not being patient and letting T-Mobiles system register the device or something. Installed Cyanogen 7 and after entering the APN stuff the phone went on service right away.
The key answer here I believe would be patience.

Lg phones apn type grayed out

I have an at&t e980 and im on straight talk updated to 4.4.2 kitkat. When i went to put my APN settings back in the APN Type was grayed out and i couldnt send MMS. I found the solution on the Androud Forum site but cant find the link it was under the g2 forum. Basically you have to be rooted and install SQLite Editor and go to data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases then click on telephony.db and then carriers. Delete all of the APNs but the one listed as LGE DEFAULT and then the Straight Talk one change the apn type line from "default" to "default,mms,supl" and then make everything else match what the other says as far as the values that you didnt input yourself then save and reboot and it will be changed and editable from then on. I dont know if anyone else will need this and my instuctions may not be clear, but i figured an answer is better then no answer. any questions just ask ill do what i can to help

Thanks for the info.. but a couple of things:
1) Should there be only two APNs left after deleting the AT&T APNs ? LGE Default AND Straight Talk only ?
2) You say "and then make everything else match what the other says" ... what are you referring to ? What other? LGE Default APNs should be the same as Straight Talks ?
Edit: Nevermind.. I've tried editing the APNs every which way but I came up empty.

Ok there should only be the two APNs left and all the values other then what you can already edit in the normal settings should match the lg APN if I can I'll go back and see what the values are and post them up here

First thanks to Firebourne for posting this fix.
i had this problem too. and followed what the op suggested and the apn type would just revert to "default,dun" and not be editable when done. after an hour of messing with it i was finally able to get it to work. Here is how; follow the op's instructions and change the type to "default,mms,supl" then also change the value usercreatesetting to "0" (no quotes, of course) that setting survived a reboot and mms is working correctly and the field is editable in the apn settings..
here are all of my settings as seen in sqlite editor

I tried and changed it about 12 times before I was able to change the AT&T APN and edited as StraightTalk. Eventually I was able to send MMS..even to an iphone friend.

It would seem to me that AT&T did something to this update that makes the phone only work properly on their network. Why else would you not be able to edit APN types? If it was a mistake then this is one big @#$%^ mistake and they need to get it fixed in a hurry.

Ok. So I said the hell with it and went ahead and rooted. Now im trying to do this but it's SOOOOO unclear. Someone needs to clear this up and give proper instructions. I did what the OP said to do, the settings stuck, but pics still wont go out. This is frustrating to say the least. Can someone please step in here and clarify this? Following the OP, I have only two apns( LG default and my straight talk) I edited the straight talk with the default,mms,supl line. What do I do with the LG default!!!!!!! People are talking about editing the AT&T apn but the OP says to " Delete all of the APNs but the one listed as LGE DEFAULT and then the Straight Talk one change the apn type line from "default" to "default,mms,supl". OK!
I have NO idea WTH you mean when you say "and then make everything else match what the other says as far as the values that you didnt input yourself". Ummm...What?
EDIT: Ok. I got it working. Don't "delete" anything. Just change two values in your Straight Talk APN. Change the "default" to "default,mms,supl" and "usercreatesetting" to 0. THAT"S IT! Again, DON"T delete anything!

Need some help here

Okay I have figured out my problem I had flashed the 20 G version of 4. 4.2 KitKat and in so doing it was not letting me edit so I flashed back to 4.1 .2 did not root my phone set my APN settings and allowed the phone to update from the phone's software update once the phone was updated to the new 4.4.2 KitKat from at&t I rooted my phone and used to the SqLite editor to go in and change my settings now my picture messages works... I did not delete anything I only changed the two settings that were mentioned buy one of the commentators in the section

Solution for Android 4.4.2 (Build E98020G) on Straight Talk (AT&T LTE)
I tried every solution I could find on the web (and xdaDevelopers) for changing the APNs on my rooted LG Optimus G Pro E980, but at first, nothing worked. Eventually, I came across this solution and created a walkthrough (see my updated thread on the topic):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-pro/help/guide-set-straight-talk-apn-rooted-t2807611

Finally an answer WITHOUT ROOT
It is possible to change the APN type without SQLite or root. The guys at my work figured this out. It is kind of a tricky workaround, but this is tested and working on LG Optimus G Pro, G Flex, and G2 with the MMS issues.
1. Go to the APN Settings and reset them to default. After that you should only see the AT&T APN
2. With the SIM card in the phone open Mobile Networks (get to the screen where you can click on Access Point names.)
3. DO NOT POWER OFF THE PHONE FOR THIS PART! On that screen and with the phone still on, slide the SIM out. You should get a prompt asking to reset the phone. DO NOT RESET THE PHONE.
4. After the prompt click on Access Point Names. There should be no APNs here. If the AT&T APN is still here go back to step 1.
5. Now you need to create a new APN whit the SIM is removed. The APN should be as follows:
Name: Straight Talk MMS
apn: tfdata
user: (blank)
server: (blank)
password: (blank)
proxy: (blank)
port: (blank)
mmsproxy: 66.209.11.33
mmsport: 80
mmsc: http: // mms-tf. net - This is spaced for Junior User restrictions. Should be no spaces.
authtype:none
type: mms
THE APN TYPE SHOULD ONLY BE FOR MMS. DO NOT PUT ANYTHING ELSE IN THE "TYPE" FIELD
6. Now with everything typed in DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING. If it is correct you can save this APN. Once it is saved there will still be no APNs on the APN page.
7. Pull the battery and put the SIM back in the phone.
8. Go back to the APN settings and DO NOT open the APN you just created or it will reset the entire process!!!!! If you did everything right the Straight Talk MMS APN you just made should not have the selection bubble. If you have a selection bubble on the Straight Talk MMS, go back to Step 1.
9. Make another new APN as Follows:
Name: Straight Talk
apn: tfdata
user: (blank)
server: (blank)
password: (blank)
proxy: (blank)
port: (blank)
mmsproxy: (blank)
mmsport: (blank)
mmsc: (blank)
Mcc: 310
Mnc : 410
type: default
10. Save this APN and select it. You should get LTE shortly after that.
That's it! If you want MMS without root this is the only other workaround I know of! This was tested on multiple Optimus G Pro, G Flex, and G2 and is working! Hope it Helps.

I have an at&t e980 and im on straight talk updated to 4.4.2 kitkat. When i went to put my APN settings back in the APN Type was grayed out and i couldnt send MMS. I found the solution on the Androud Forum site but cant find the link it was under the g2 forum. Basically you have to be rooted and install SQLite Editor and go to data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases then click on telephony.db and then carriers. Delete all of the APNs but the one listed as LGE DEFAULT and then the Straight Talk one change the apn type line from "default" to "default,mms,supl" and then make everything else match what the other says as far as the values that you didnt input yourself then save and reboot and it will be changed and editable from then on. I dont know if anyone else will need this and my instuctions may not be clear, but i figured an answer is better then no answer. any questions just ask ill do what i can to help

It is important that once you have entered all the info for the new APN, you must press the menu button and select save. Then one you are back to the previous screen, select the radio button next to your new APN to select it.

Yes, it worked on my LG Optimus G Pro
I agree that's one helluva clever workaround...tried it and got the custom MMS APN setting in as described, then got the selectable ST APN as described into the phone as well. The first couple of times I tried to send an MMS it was still stuck in the proverbial Sending loop going nowhere - but then it decided on try number three to go through...weiiiiiiiiiird indeed.
I may still end up rooting and changing the APN database...this is a deliberate attempt by AT&T to block carriers like Straight Talk from having MMS functionality...a very subversive workaround to the prospect of Congress passing new unlocking legislation. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall when the managers, engineers and the lawyers discussed this little scheme. I have some lawyers of my own I'm gonna run this one by - yes I'm talking to you AT&T and whomever else was in on this little collusionary party - I hope LG didn't sign off on this little scheme...would be interesting to know if the KitKat updates anywhere else in the world disabled APN's in the same way. The Hill isn't going to like this much when they find out, nor The White House.
Thanks for the non-root suggestion, strange as it is. For those of you trying this one, it took several reboots before the MMS messages started working correctly...I was about to give up and re-root, and bingo, it worked. What a kluge just to try and block functionality...naughty naughty.

Worked perfect on LG G2
Dude...can't Thank You enough for sharing this!! Got it to work on the first try (after rebooting) exactly as you described for an LG G2 on Straight Talk.

Thanks for posting this!!!
The woman has an LG G Pro on ST and hasn't been able to get picture messages for a while now until I came upon these instructions.
I didn't follow the instructions exactly, I had the mms apn and the defualt apn added before putting the sim card back in and it still worked.
Default option got picked up w/out me even having to change to it.
Again, thanks a bunch for posting this friend!!

Hey guys,
I did the fix last night but after a restart and a few hours later, the phone didn't get mms service again.
I checked the apn and the "mms" apn , the "type" got reset back to default instead of mms.
I know I followed the instructions a little differently my first time around but the second and third time I followed the instructions exactly but still got the same results after a few hours.
Anyone have any suggestions? Location service seems to be messing up too..

It also didn't work for me. I've tried a lot of settings and tricks and I just can't seem to crack it. I'm on a locked D800 (AT&T G2) with KitKat Modem, Mahdi ROM and a "new" Straight talk AT&T micro sim.

Carrier Information: T-Mobile

Hey,
just for Information (I dont even know if this is the right place for this ^^):
If you think about activating your (german T-Mobile) Fire Phone - after activation the old (micro) SIM will be deleted.
But you can order an adapter to fit the nanoSIM into your old micro or normal SIM-Card-Slots.
Cheers,
Xerx

Update:
I tested my Fire Phone with a SIM today.
No luck: Phone calls work but mobile data wont acivate. So its pretty useless atm.
Trying to get this working.
Cheers,
Xerx

I got the same issue on my FirePhone with Congstar (which still uses the T-Mobile network). I am using 3.5 because of root access.
My guessing is that Amazon implemented the UMTS/LTE frequencies - which are used outside the US - later on with Fire OS 3.6, which is the official one shipped on release in Europe.
As in my information 3.6 is the only OS version which contains the main european languages (they even broke some of their apps if you use them with non-US-accounts).
Could you provide info about on which Fire OS you're running?

Got it. I also found out about the workaround for this issue, thanks to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56037652&postcount=57
The APN settings are just missing, to our luck it's nothing with the drivers as i mentioned before.
Setting up the APN for T-Mobile (others might work too, if you unlocked your phone):
1. Go to settings -> Mobile Network -> Select a mobile network operator(advanced).
2.Select "Access Point Names" -> "Add an Access Point Name"
3.Enter your network operators details, as for T-Mobile it goes:
Name: T-Mobile
APN: internet.t-mobile
proxy:
port:
username: t-mobile
passwort: tm
4.Save and activate the APN(you'll have to scroll down)
5.After a minute, the registration on the network should be complete and mobile networking now possible.

Ok nice. Will try it the next days thanks

I dont have a fire phone, but i was able to get good service coverage by using the attached apn config file (must be rooted; rename/replace the old one in /system/etc/ and reboot) using a tmobile sim in my verizon note 2; the file is from another thread here on xda and has APN data for most major carriers around the globe.
..curious if this works for this phone, as its a pretty good deal for an unlocked phone right now (was hoping to see more ROM developement when i came here though).

Rogers Canadian i317m Note 2 no LTE on DN4 v2.2-LTE AGNI purestock Kernel

I have an i317m Canadian Note 2 on the Rogers Wireless network.
I flashed the DN4_v2.2-LTE Rom onto the phone using the instrucions found here "[ROM][4.4.4]DN4_2.2(Ditto Note 4) for SGH-i317, i317M, T889, N7105 By the E-Team". I also flashed the newest PSN_AGNi_pureSTOCK-v4.4.7_N7105_4.4.x_AROMA kernel.
When switching the phone on all works well other than I am only able to get 3g and H+ networks. I have tried adding the ROGERS LTE network to the carrier list but it does not work. I also tried flashing the PSN_AGNi_pureSTOCK-v4.3.9_N7105_4.4.x_AROMA kernel; In case the version change may have affected it. Still only able to get 3g and H+ networks.
Been looking through XDA Developers forums for hours trying to solve this. Any ideas would be most appreciated

Did you check your apn settings?

Select Save. Ensure the new APN is selected from the Access Point Names screen.
I also tried removing the CORE APN (the non LTE) one just to see if the phone was auto switching away from the LTE network. I do not get a signal at all If I do that. MMS, texting and cellular calls are working fine.

Does changing modems help?

I tried to reload the newest rogers modem (for the i317m) and that didnt seem to help.
I also have another quick question. I have the newest version of TWRP installed. I am unable to reboot from TWRP by using the "shut down' or "restart" command. It just brings me back to TWRP.
If I reinstall the AGNI kernel and use its REBOOT command after installation the phone reboots normally. Should I redo the phone with the stock (but rooted) ROM/MODEM/Etc then try to reinstall DN4?
Ill give it a go when I have time later. Will post back to see if that fixes the problem.

YES! Got it working.
I started with using stock recovery mode to perform a factory wipe.
In order to make sure the lack of LTE wasnt something hardware related completely reflashed the i317m (Rogers) back to stock (4.4.1) everything. I did this using ODIN 1.03
I then used the auto root made for the i317m and flashed it with odin. Root was successful.
After the root I then installed RASHR through google play. Using RASHR I flashed TWRP Recovery version 2.8.5.0 . This solved the original problem with TWRP being stuck in a loop no matter what "restart" option I went to. Only way out of this originally was to flash the AGNI kernel every time.
With TWRP Recovery I flashed the DN4 LTE-V2.2 rom. When trying to boot this It just got stuck on a black screen. I took battery out and rebooted into TWRP recovery. I then flashed ANGI Pure Stock Kernel v4.3.9 (not 4.4.7). I restarted and the phone booted correctly. I was able to get WIFI and everything but LTE. I then updated the to DN4_2.2.6-LTE. The changed network icon to 4g. I tested the connection and it was still connecting to only HSPA+ Rogers towers.
The trick was after this. I tried many different settings for the Rogers LTE APN netowork. NONE of them would work under DN4_2.2-LTE. Finally, now running DN4_2.2.6-LTE I was able to find the exact APN settings. Pieces of this APN was taken from many different forums.
Here is the APN setup that is currently working for me:
Name: Rogers LTE
APN: ltemobile.apn
Proxy: not set
Port: not set
Username: not set
Password: not set
Server: not set
MMSC: *h*t*t*p*:*/*/*m*m*s*.*g*p*r*s*.*r*o*g*e*r*s*.*c*o*m* REMOVE ASTERISKS. ONLY THERE AS I CANT POST EXTERNAL LINKS YET.
MMS Proxy: 10.128.1.69

MCC: 302
MNC: 720
Authentication Type: not set
APN Type: *
APN Protocol: IPv4
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4

Hope this works for anyone else needing it!
