Only possible thing I can think of is getting a new sim card from sprint and going from there.

I'm trying to flash my EVO to Cricket, does Cricket have to add my phone's ESN to it's network? How do I get them to do this?
Hello? Please?

yes, how else are they going to associate your phone and your account together?
Just call them up and tell them you're adding a new phone.
I'm trying to finish getting an evo to metropcs for a friend. I did everything you need to do to get to the point of "activation". I put a newer Metro prl on the phone that works here in the ny area... but when i try to activate it or even call I get redirected to a verizon operator. The signal bar says I'm roaming and where it should say "MetroPCS" on the lockscreen its says"Analog B". Will an evo on metro pcs even work in the NY area? If not I just wasted a huge amount of time
Did you get the esn registered to metropcs? must I add must be considered coorperate store

This helped me before:

go to settings>wireless settings>mobile networks>system select> change it to home only then also....make sure you still have the MetroPCS prl installed...dial *228 and make sure it says "hello hello hello metropcs" and if it does u might as well update the roaming list...say update roaming list after it says it

I didnt get my esn registered with metropcs because I assumed it was already registered.. Should I go ahead and try to do that, and if I do do you think they will they even allow me to?

If I'm correct the instructions you've provided will only allow me to connect to the towers that my PRL tells me too. Which makes sense since having it set to "automatic" will allow to roam and connect to a verizon tower, due to a roaming agreement between metro and verizon. Thanks for that hint. So I just did as instructed and It says I have no service (the little "x" by the bars.) oh I also followed these steps to re-start a hands free activation:
Steps:
1. Dial ##3282#
2. Enter Edit Mode
3. Enter your MSL
4. Select Data Profile
5. Menu
6. Restore
7. Let Phone Reboot, and Wait and the Hands Free Activation will Start.
and of course It didn't work because i have no service
Damn...I'm at a loss here...
Yep...get the esn set up with metro...
Damn guess I better, thanks for the input. I appreciate it
I realized that the esn on this evo is already added to the metro network.. due to some unmentionable modifications. I simply cant get service to activate the phone..

Did you get it MetroFlashed? You have to add the ESN to Metro thru Houdini. And that can almost only be done at a corporate store. Doing all the provisioning thru QPST or DFS or whatever will not get your phone on Metro, even if you have a Metro PRL.

If using an unlocked DI2 with AT&T sim card in GSM mode, the APN settings should be auto-configured & work for voice & SMS, data if enabled & provisioned in the carrier's plan features - there is no "programming" code to input, unlike VZ's CDMA network using *228

Try to dial ##3282# and navigate to view apn settings, reset to default and it should auto adjust to your sim att phones are a pain with updates if you're not on their Network

Thanks but I have done that and now can't send attachments with texts and still can't edit or add a new apn. The ebay seller agreed to take it back so I will try the att version.

I did get the android 10 update and now the hot spot is not working. I tried using the settings database editor to change the value of the tethering entitlement setting, but apparently it's not working with android 10...Any suggestions or should I just get rid of this att g8 too?
