hey wats up.. i have a metro flashed eris running 2.1 and its rooted everything works good.. but i want to update to the 2.2 thats out for the eris.
if i do the update will it mess up the Metro Flash..
I just did the same thing. MOST Roms will not adjust any Metro Flash settings. Talk/Text should work after a fresh Rom.
However, be aware of any OTA Sense Roms and FlashBack Roms. They WILL revert your phone back to Verizon settings. I made this mistake twice.
--EDIT--
I would also recommend downloading APN Backup/Restore from the market, and backing up your current APN settings before flashing a new 2.2 ROM just in case your settings get wiped.
thanks i did the update and its great only thing now is that my mms dont work internet works great..

Hi,
I got my sprint touch pro flashed to metro pcs, then I flashed it to mighty rom 6, and it was working all good for a long while. After I saw all these new roms coming out, with newer manila I decided to flash a new rom, and I read that it is better if I flash the stock rom before flashing to a custom rom, and so I did. After I flashed to the stock shipped sprint rom the phone stopped working, and after I flashed the custom rom, nfsfans B14 rom, the phone still doesn't work (I can't call or receive calls). I have installed the carrier cab for metro pcs, but it doesn't work, and anyways, as far as I know it only takes care of the internet, right?
Did I break the phone, or can I do something in service mode? Do I need to get it flashed again?
Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You!
In case somebody would fall into the same situation, I had to get Metro PCS' PRL file which I had to update in ##778# settings, and now it all works fine
Alright I have unlocked my bootloader flashed cwm recovery, flashed 2.3.4, flashed Navalynt's Mod, rooted my phone and data does not work.
I have tried restoring the apn and rebooting ~not working.
I have tried readding the apns from here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054164 ~not working
Followed the directions including flashing the new radio here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142835 ~not working
Does anybody have any ideas or maybe a forum thread I may have missed.
I really like the new version and sofar have no problems other then this data problem but unfortunately this data problem is a deal breaker for me so I guess If I cant get it working gonna have to downgrade.
Anyways I hope somebody knows what I need to do.
In the mean time I'm gonna go ahead and start over and try again.
Thanks in advanced!
i have had some weird issues, i found that resetting apn to defaults and flashing the new radio while on 2.3.4 helped my data situation, now when i first came over to the new rom, i backup up my apn list, but it shouldnt matter, have you gone through and manually put in the settings and rebooted
I figured out what the problem was. I flashed the experimental version of Navalynt's Mod. When I started over with the process I noticed that the file names didn't match up. After flashing the right one it works like a charm.
Thanks anyway for the speedy response.
Got hit with this too. Tried every which way to get APN's working. Set defaults, choose one over the other, manual vs auto, and even APNDroid.
Reflashing 1.83 SBF now and going to try OTA 4.5.47 before anything else. Like most other Moto users I'd rather have a vanilla experience and/or CM7. At least I enjoy taking proper ownership of my hardware
Ever since I got a PRL update from my carrier, I have had no luck whatsoever with having data on any of the ROMs I tried flashing which include CM7 Nightlies and THS ICS. Even after following droidstyle's guide to key no luck. Anyone have any info as to just how important PRL updates are or what their connection is to my problem? Thanks.
normally the sd card is the culprit for issues with flashing cm7 & cm9 based roms... especially if your getting cant mount errors.
Would you recommend I try clearing my SD card of everything besides the ROM itself before installing? And would it somehow lead to broken data?
Could have been when your prl updated it updated something else along the way. Or just doesnt happen to work with your phone. For example i flashed a galaxy s and had to use a paygo prl as the latest i had on my phone wouldnt work for it. Its def a possibility that something with that update caused ill effects.
What exactly have you tried? Flash back to stock ? Data doesnt work still with new prl? ?
Yup...pretty much droidstyle's guide word for word as far as flashing back to stock and installing CM7 or CM9/ICS.
I looked up something that flashes through CWM called alt carrier data fix...apparently for cricket users...thought it would help for my phone...from the flashing on/off 3g it just basically went dead...so that didn't work...
I'm looking for a way to get my Huawei M835 updated to CM7 or something more up to date than Froyo, but I need to be able to keep my data connection and MMS working on Cleartalk's network. What would be the best way to get CM7 or something like it fixed where it'll install with my current carrier's settings, such as the APN, baseband, etc? I'm not very experienced yet with ROM modding, so I'm unsure where to start, especially with this finicky phone which I've already had replaced twice.
The problem before is that nobody at cleartalk knows the APN settings, so after I tried out a few custom roms, 3G and MMS didn't work at all, and my baseband version had been changed by one of the roms I had tried. Neither Cleartalk nor Huawei have the stock ROM to flash the phone back to a stock Cleartalk phone, so I was screwed. This is the problem with obscure carriers.
Is there any way to extract that data, all the carrier settings, baseband, and other necessary data and slip that into a Gingerbread rom like CyanogenMod?
I know this phone sucks, but one of the Gingerbread custom roms that I played with before worked pretty well, but it messed up all my carrier settings, I didn't have voice or data connection, and was saying to insert UIM, mine's a CDMA phone.
tl;dr I really want Gingerbread but don't want to screw up another phone, need MMS and 3G working. What do?
hey guys
i have a hauwei m835 and i will like you to ask to get an official rom ics or ginger bread and ill like if you can ak to get roms too
Hey guys, I'm not new to rooting or flashing ROM's but I've encountered some issues. Basically, I was on an early JB Rom and everything was working fine but it mostly was in roaming and would go from 2-4 signal bars.
I backed up and have attempted to flash:
PACman
MIUI 2.11.23
As well as CM10 by joker and AOKP CM 10.
Every flash I end up with no signal bars and no roaming, also following all install instructions in the threads.
I have tried flashing with and without prop tweak, i have even restored the backup all with the same results:
Empty signal bars, occasional R for roaming, every call says mobile network unavailable.
I have also fixed permissions, and have tried to flash via TH3Bill CWM and TWRP recovery... what am I doing wrong? The backup isin't even working!
I wouldn't know off hand, but here's something you can try while waiting for a more professional member to come to the rescue.
System Settings> More>Mobile Networks>System select>Home only
What's your current PRL, APNs?
if it was me I'd sbf back to stock and see if I had signal then go back and try a custom rom again

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Before sbf'ing if you have a back up of your stock ROM or any ROM that has the update profile/prl setting in it, restore that back up and try updating your profile/prl then wipe/flash your new ROM.
I usually have this problem when I switch back to my Photon from my ET4G, but updating the profile usually does the trick.
When I restored my old backup, I had the same problem. The only fix I could find was on MIUI and selecting automatic netowrk before flashing options chooser. Any other rom would make no changes on automatic or home only. I am going to try a fresh install and if no luck will sbf today. I'll keep you guys posted.
Thanks!
**EDIT** Does it matter if I use Th3Bill's CWM recovery or TWRP? I have tried both with similar results. I jut noticed CWM is usually posted with the ROM builds... does it makes a difference? If so, what should I use?
Normally both work just fine, as long as you're using one of those two
I spent too much time flashing roms and wondering why they wouldn't work right, when I was using the stock CWM
I think It's just my opinion but I have preference for bill's cwm
Having this exact same problem. Did anyone figure it out?
No Radio/Signal
I recently flashed the latest MIUI.US V5 3.4.5 for the Photon provided by Th3Bill. I am familiar with the process of applying ROMs. I tried to go back to Beanstalk, JB, and ICS and could not recover the radio signal. I even restored a few backups with the same result, no signal. I flashed the MIUI V5 3.4.5 ROM back to the Photon and it worked flawlessly. Can anyone please help? I would really like to get off the MIUI ROM, it does not appeal to me like the standard versions of Jelly Bean that Th3Bill has produced.
