Has anyone flashed one of these bad boys to Cricket? I own a Vibrant and got a bad ESN Fascinate for my GF to flash to Cricket lol. Just want to hear any success stories if anyone has already done so
No one has flashed it to anything yet, we're not there.
Does anyone know the # number to call to edit NAI and DUN NAI, MIP profiles, etc?
Does anyone know how I would go about flashing the PRL? Would I boot into Download Mode?
I've almost cracked it... Got 3g showing up. Talk/text work... flashing PRL was the easy part. Pages don't seem to load though. Hopefully I'll have it fully functional very soon
I have managed to fully flash the Fascinate to Cricket. It is on the Zio's $55 plan and gets full data, no proxies. At first I called and asked for the $55 plan but it didn't work because there are multiple $55 plans. I had to call and lie, saying that my phone was the Kyocera Sanyo Zio and that my data didn't work. They then had me give them the ESN and changed my phone to the Zio and my plan to the Zio's plan.
Everything that works: talk, text, receiving MMS, and web.
The only thing that doesn't work is sending MMS. I will probably figure out how to fix this, though.
If anyone is interested in fully flashing a Fascinate to cricket I can post a tutorial... Just reply or PM me if you are. Not gonna bother if no one is interested.

To get the ESN added to the MetroPCS system you need to find someone online that can do it. I think the going rate right now is $50 bux and includes a free month of service. Just check the Buy/Sell section of Mobile-Files.us or Howardforums.

Please don't bash the noob. The story starts, I got this Eris off eBay and had it flashed to metro pcs for $65. Before i left the guys house everything worked (call, text, mms, web). I saw it work and it looked like a good job. Got to work and wanted to play and set up my new phone. The 1x at the top of the screen hurt but what the heck its $40 bill. I surfed and set up my g-mail all good. I could not set up my hot mail so i took a break. Got back to my phone playing and the 1x at the top is gone. No more web or mms. Calls, text, wifi all work. I tried clicking the Mobile network and it just says turning on, but it does not. I taped and re-taped every setting and 2 days later still the same. So if someone could help me I'm willing to learn. My only other shot is to go back to the same guy with my wallet open. Please guys don't let that happen.
Firmware version 2.1
Base band version 2.42.01.04.27
Kernel version 2.6.29
Build number Evil Eris v3.0
Software number 2.20.651.1

I have another ? maybe someone that already has a metropcs flash can answer this. If i go to settings/ privacy/ factory data reset - will it erase the 2.1 os Root and metropcs flash. I was woundering if that would fix my no web no mms problem or would it turn it back to stock verizon. many thanks....

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730289&highlight=metropcs
Yes and thank you I did see that post. It just went over my head a bit. I ended up calling the guy that flashed metro for me with no problems. He was real cool (no charge). He told me metroPCS changed some settings server side. So 20 min later and I'm back online. He is real tight with his info cuz this is how he pays his bills. I did ask him about the reset through settings and I'm glad I did. His answer is it would remove the internet and mms part of his work.
Please help!`
I called the people that flashed mine and they want to charge me to fix the issue. Does anyone know how to fix this issue but in layman term? Please?????
I'm sorry but i don't know. This past weekend after my internet and mms went down I was checking craigslist. I saw more than a few post saying your internet not working $20 and we fix. So i guess my guy told the truth that metropcs had changed something. Good luck to you look around and find the best deal...

I have metropcs flash and a hard reset (factory reset) does turn it back to stock verizion. I had to go back to the metropcs store to have it flashed again.
My Motorola Droid NO INTERNET or MMS issue
I had my Moto Droid flashed in mid September and everything was sweet. Internet worked great, google maps, picture messaging. the key is that I had to get the flash done "underground" becuase Metro PCS stores don't flash in a way that facilitates internet and MMS. So anyway, by the 10th of Ocotber, the internet was gone. I tried all kinds of restarting and re-configuring settings...to no avail.
When I called Metro PCS customber service, they told me that since I wasn't supposed to have internet in the first place, they removed it. He said that I would have to purchase a metro pcs phone, if I wanted to have the full service again.
Then, I called the Metro store owner who had linked me with the underground setup in the first place. I asked him about this issue and he confirmed that Metro PCS had, on the 1st of October, begun eliminating internet from non-Metro phones. Apparently (my opinion), no one is buying the ridiculous low-qual phones metro has to offer and so they want to lash out and force people to buy their phones.
I say they either get better phones or they lose a lot of customers. Yes, it's only $40 but is it really worth all the hassle.
There are tons of internet repair services for $10-$40 on craigslist, but does anyone know how long the fixups last?
All of what you say maybe true. But I'm not sure. The reason I say this is 1) Metro PCS is getting ready for 4g. 2) When I log in to my account at Metro the phone listed is one they sell. 3) now this one could go either way - my guy does agree with you but says it rarely happens. I.E. he is a hacker. My thoughts not really he has had more time to play with phones no more no less... Now as far as luck goes I got you beat. :-( My internet turned off in less than 15 hrs. Now the $40 bill yes you get what you pay for, so I will take the 1x. But anyway it goes and no-matter who is right I will keep my fingers crossed.
How do you return to pre-flash status?

Eris MetroPcs
You do not need any special ROM for the Eris.
Just use the available Android 2.1 ROM that is the normal ROM update from Android/HTC. File on the web: PB00IMG
Install that file. Then use Token's Metropcs v3...not v3.5 beta! Also install u2nl and Autostart. Download from Market.
You need to set all the settings on the phone via ##778. YOU MUST HAVE A FLASHED MetroPCS Eris!! Make sure the MNC is set to 27...not 12!
For the Eris, there is no need to use QPST or CDMA Workshop like everyone says.
Password is your MSL from whiterabbit.
cheers

With my bill going up and companies like metro PCs going down, which carrier would be the best to switch to both in price and service? (days, possible 4g)
Bump? Anyone?
it can be done, but as of right now as far as I know, there is no way to get the msl/spc code unless the phone is active. or you can pay someone get the code for you. Once you get the code you can then put the device in diag mode and flash a new prl for the carrier you want to use. I have flashed many phones to cricket and the photon can be flashed.

Could this method work to flash my Photon over to cdma boost?
So far people are telling me I can't flash it, but the iFix store in the mall says I can flash to boost or metro. Please enlighten me. They said they charge 50. Is it possible and well I get 4g or anything? If so also, which company should I go for?

yes you can flash it with other carries i have mine working in IUSACELL (México), and i have 3g working too you just got to rewrite some nv items so the data configuration can be saved. You need your msl code in order to program it with cdma workshop
I have no idea how to do that I would have a company in the mall called Ifix flash it for me, just not sure which company would be best in Florida on the gulf coast. Metro, boost, cricket, simple mobile. Or if they can unlock the gsm portion?
I have my photon fully flashed to cricket, I paid someone $35 for it, took them like 5 hours but its working perfectly.

I am waiting for the esn to be added to the database.
I should be able to get internet working on it, and maybe mms.

But so far i have gotten my msl/spc by using radiocom like here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365058&highlight=msl&styleid=16
then after that you just have to add the esn here
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270915486238
then after that you have to change the msl/spc to 000000 with cdmaworkshop or qpst. But i cant get qpst to work so ill let you guys know once i am ready to do that part.

Photon to Boost or Virgin Mobile
I'm also interested in finding out if a Photon can be flashed to Boost or Virgin Mobile. My Photon has a bad esn because I didn't pay the bill. I just read on Cnet Sprint is giving WiMax to Boost and Virgin Mobile (http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57...to-bring-wimax-to-boost-mobile-virgin-mobile/) which makes my Photon valuable to me again. Are there any updates on this subject? I have searched the net for cdma flashing software and it's a tad expensive and complicated (for me). Plus, I like to flash rom's and themes so I don't want to end up having to re-flash because of a ROM I used.
I had posted this elsewhere but here's what you guys need to know before proceeding.
To clear things up and put this to rest, here's some things you need to know about putting the Sprint Photon on other carriers.
Will not work on GSM in the United States
May work on Boost (requires you change/clone the ESN, illegal)
May work on Virgin (requires you change/clone the ESN, illegal)
Any method that requires you change or clone the ESN is illegal
May work on Cricket (Expect 4G to not work and expect it to take a while to get it to work right. grey area)
May work on other smaller CDMA carriers like Alaska Communications (see notes on moving to Cricket)
Both Boost and Virgin are subsidiaries of Sprint and flashing to them requires breaking some laws at a Federal level.
Your best and legal option is to leave CDMA altogether. If you are pleased with the Photon then getting a good condition used Motorola Atrix and having it unlocked for international service would be you best bet. You may still run into issues where certain features like data may not work with certain providers. I have been told by others that have done it that on the Atrix it's simply having the right APN settings.
Discussion of this nature tends to be frowned upon by the moderators due to the legality of the subject so don't be surprised if the thread gets closed.
help flash motorola photon to metro
Im not too good with touch screen phones yet. I just got one through sprint and got an account its a motorola photon. My first question can I switch and flash over my phone from sprint to metro? Second questions will i still get the internet? Third question does anything need to be done before hand such as example: account must be 0 balance. What would I need to flash? Is it hard to flash it? Can you explain in detail how to flash it. I just got an account and phone with sprint but when i seen the bill per month after i got home and baught the phone I was mad! Can I switch it over if I just got the account literally its 2 days old...please email me [email protected]

Your phones bootloader is locked. All most impossible to change.
If your off contract you can switch your Photon to ting real easy.
Ting is cheap if you don't use cell data , use WiFi were you can find it.

Expo Mobile will activate sprint devices without flashing. I am on their $35 unlimited talk, unlimited international text, and 500mb LTE data. Everything seems to be going good.
Google voice call forwarding does not work but the app does. People can call your Google voice number and it will still ring your phone. You can still make out going calls and it will display your Google voice number. What doesn't work is if someone calls your original cellphone number and it rings 6 times it will not forward to Google voice.
Sprint Voicemail app works.
4G LTE works great and i get 10-15mbps just about everywhere I go. Expo also has 24/7 customer care, most prepaids are closed after 10pm.
If you have a bad ESN this will not work the only other option you would have is either cricket or page plus and you will only get 3G data. Small price to pay with having a bad ESN.
Ting is very good too if you need google voice to work. I herd that they support it.
Okay I have searched entire site and no information what so ever. So here goes.
I have a Motorola Photon - Rooted thanks to forums.
There is a wireless service here in Ohio with CDMA phones called Revol Wireless with a month-to-month unlimited talk/text/web plan. But their phones are trash and are allowing other CDMA phones to be flashed to their service.
Corner stores all over columbus, with cell phone vendors inside, are flashing Sprint phones with bad ESN's to Revol Wireless.
I took my phone in ti multiple stores. Revol supports the Motorola Photon but wants to charge me $40-$60 JUST for the flashing service on top of the inital $50 monthly service fee.
Now, if I wanted to spend $100+ on a new phone I would just hit craigslist for a GSM unlocked.
Does ANYONE here know HOW I can do this without having to pay some over priced carry-out?
I can provide little information to get you started on the how-to...
Here is what you will need:
Rooted Android
USB data cable
Android drivers
HW Virtual Serial Port
CDMA Workshop 2.7 or 3.x higher
I have seen there is a simple "One click process" through software called Houdinisoft but they also charge a ridiculous amount of money for even a 1 time key.
But all over the internet I see people (those who know what they're doing) doing this process manually with no fee's.
Please help me save some money. -_-

To make the phone work on there network all you really need to do is flash their prl to your phone and have them add your esn to their network. That's all that is really necessary. You can find plenty of info on prl flashing. It may be tough to find their prl. I think if you just get your phone to roam on their network with the esn added you can *228 to update it?

It's a little more involved than that, but getting the prl on the phone will make talk and text work.. But that's about it. If you've never flashed a phone to another carrier and cant follow a tutorial online you might as well pony up the cash and have someone else do it. I've done lots of sprint and verizon phones flashed to cricket and it can be time consuming depending on the phone. A tutorial online to flash to cricket would be very similiar to what carrier you're trying to flash to, but you are gunna need all the carrier specific information for you Revol. I've never heard of them.

I can admit im in over my head. I root every android phone I have ever had. I have jail broken every ipod I ever had with 0 casualties because I find an online tutorial and follow STEP BY STEP. lol
But there is no tutorial anywhere for this.
Im VERY good at following directions but you guys arent giving directions you are giving steps of what needs done. Not how to do them. Im sorry I AM a noob that just reads tutorials. I dont wanna take a crash course on this phone lol.
I have a evo eg that I flashed to straight talk. I am now getting "unable to authenticate your phone" when trying to make call after re-filling my minutes.
I have tried the *228 and it states activated. I called straight talk tech support and had them reset the account.
I got my text and 3g back but i still can't make call.
I have looked at all setting and I am getting anywhere.
Any ideas?
Do you have the latest radios? I am not sure why you would flash to straight talk but you will be spending a lot of money paying to replenish your minutes. These phones were not meant to be on cards. I would suggest you flash your phone to virgin mobile or boot mobile. Boost offers a 50 dollar a month plan for unlimited everything. I know this is not the answer you were looking for but you are cheating yourself with prepaid cards. Smartphones are not meant to be on prepaid minute cards. My suggestion is to get boot or vm.

Thanks for the reply. Boost mobile uses sprint tower, so no deal there. I don't know about virgin mobile. The phone has worked for the last three months but when I last re-filled, I reactivated on the site.
The next morning I was getting the message.
I had looked at the settings and had straight talk support reset the account. They state that it is authenticating to my number.
I can call the *228 and progam the phone and it programs. the site states that it is activated but no calls.
I am now able to text. gps is working and 3g is working but can't call out or in.

Straight Talk only cost $45 a month for Unlimited Talk and Data
Sent from my GNex while laying in bed
So you know im in a wireless family.
I work at T-Mobile Corporate in Redmond, And my brother in New Jersey at verizon.
I personally use an optimus G SPRINT on Verizon Prepaid, Not that I dont like the T-Mobile speed, But lets be honest coverage sucks.
So the 1.5 to 2.5 MBPS nationwide I get on verizon is better. OK Back on point.
So my brother tells me Verizon is actively trying to combat the MIFI flashed to verizon prepaid, On mulitple fronts.
They have contacted ebay, and ebay sellers have been suspended.
And here is the one that sucks for all of us that use verizon prepaid.... They renew and send a new AAA Key every 4 to 7 days.....
And may also resend or renew the A-Key.
What that means for you if you are a verizon prepaid user and have a flashed phone but not the donor...... You sadly are screwed.
But I'm going to give you an easy fix, I have had to do it now twice.
You can also use QPST build 355 works for me, and copy all the data from the gusto to the other device.
Sadly my brother said they are not doing this targeting phone users, Verizon is not stupid they know people flash phones.
But they are targeting JETPACK and MIFI users.
He says in recent weeks they have seen Prepaid accounts that are using over 80GB of data a month on these supposed GUSTO's
So naturally verizon is now cracking down, This is similar to what Sprint and Boost Mobile did with ERROR 16.
Just giving you a heads up, And to flashers who flash the MiFi devices, Verizon is actively searching Craigslist and eBay, One eBay seller is now being sued by verizon and they found him on Craigslist in Salem, Oregon.
Just be careful, I use about 15GB a month on my Optimus and dont have any issues, Beyond having to reflash the info using the guide above once a week or so.
I also have seen less AAA resets when I keep the ROM Stock, And more resets and having to reflash when I got to a custom rom.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the write-up. Customers have been asking about this. So every 1-2 weeks? And nothing the customer can do without a reflash? Which phones do you use for donors?
This really only affects the mifi users. I keep a backup of my aaa and other passwords and they haven't changed in over a year. If for some reason you do have an issue dial *228 and it'll update for you on your evo 4g lte. Also I know I'm the pot calling the kettle black but mifi users use alot more data then any one else. I personally don't use them.

My phone is now roaming. If I take it off from automatic mode I have no service.

Your not really roaming it's the phone telling you it thinks that it's roaming due to sprints programing the phone. Turn off all roaming notifications in settings and change settings to allow all roaming. If that bothers you alot then flash the 53000 prl. But now you'll have your aaa keys good

1-2 weeks where do you get that? He said every 4 to 7 days that seems to be at MAX 1 week or Did I miss something? I know the MiFi's i've reflashed last from 24hrs to 4 days max. While other's I know have had no issues for weeks after reflash

First off Thanks for the Heads Up.
the OTA is Pretty self explanatory 1-Programs your phone & 2-Updates the PRL.
There isn't a good or bad choice it's either Program your Phone or if your phone is already programmed & you want to get the latest PRL you press 2(If you have a Verizon Android Flashed you won't get the roam triangle,The triangle is only if you have a non vzw android flashed over) but If any1 is worried about the roaming triangle or it just bothers you I have attached links to 4 different Modded PRL's that should remove the Triangle.
51807 PRL - The 51807 is an older Prl but Good. I know it works on alot of different Phones cause I have Flashed many many phones using this PRL all across the country
59317 PRL - The 59317 PRL is a newer PRL & I have used it but not on as much & not as many Phones as the 51807 just because it's newer. It is a good PRL as well but ymmv where you are with coverage so that's why I uploaded 4 diff PRL's
52979 PRL - I Have NOT USED this PRL
52515 PRL - I Have NOT USED this PRL
I use the 51807 & the 59317 PRL's when flashing phones to Straight Talk, Verizon PP, Page Plus & Next G. You can use these for ANY Carrier that uses Verizon's Network & they SHOULD work. I Hope they help some peps.
I am NOT Responsible for you, your phone, your actions or how you load these to your phone. So if you brick your Phone it is NOT my fault. Use QPST 2.7-366, CDMA WorkShop(use the Paid Version don't b cheap) or DFS to Load these. If you do a Google search you will find all of these
THANK YOU TO ALL THE SOLDIERS PAST & PRESENT!!! IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU

Hi guys my question to yall is how do yall get the *228 to go through everytime I try it it doesnt give me a keypad to select 1 or 2 and than I tryi to dial *22890 and *22891 and nothing it gives me an error message if anybody help I would greatly appreciate it thanks.
*228 will NOT work on a flashed sprint device it will never get data on its own you need to use a doner for that sorry. but to answer your question just dial *228 and leave it alone for like 3-4 minutes it will ota but wont get data
I am seriously new at this so please bear with me. What does one do if they do not have QPST (can't activate/register). I have been trying for 4 months to get my ota data to work. My wifi is fine while at home but when I leave I have no data connection. I can make calls and my gps works. But I have tried everything ##7764726 *#*#4636#*#* get me into settings but I do not know what should or should not be in there.
PLEASE HELP ME,
Beth
7-24-14 Mifis Flashed to Verizon since the 6-10-14 Update
Hello,
Just want to let you all know that we do have the original and so far only confirmed solution for flashing mifis to Verizon at this time. We have the 2200 the LC11 and the 801 and 802 working and are now almost done with the 4510 and then we will be working on the 4620 after that
We also have the solution to fix throttled mifis and prevent Verizon from throttling them again. In fact Verizon can never communicate with the device after the throttling fix is applied. We have this working on the 2200 and will be porting it out to all other mifis.
Once we get all the mifis working again on Verizon we will be working on porting the throttling solutions over to phones
I know I don't post alot on XDA but I wanted to share this information with the whole flashing community rather then just keeping it over at CDMA Gurus where I usually post
You can check out our videos and services via our websites
www.flashedphones.net
www.flashedmifis.net
Also here are our dev links
Hope this helps
thanks
