i have a droid x that was on verizon, it was flashed over onto the ntelos carrier, i had it up and running and was finally almost finished with setting up my daily rom, i had the miui 1.9.9 rom with v6 supercharger script, my apps, blah blah etc. i flashed wugzfresh tether zip and lost 3g , i tried my nand...to no luck.....also tried apn manager and searching for the settings to no luck...my question i want to know is can i flash a milestone x sbf file to my dx??? and or is there any milestone x roms with the correct settings for data and mms? i really didnt want to have to bring it back to the people that flashed it over for me, being that he was kind of expensive and also he told me that if i was to root it that his "software" wouldnt connect to my phone....by the way he used flash to talk.....my calls and mms still work, my prl is 22802. any help would be greatly appreciated thanks for a great forum keep up the good work for all us dx users
Apn backup?
Thanks anyway I ended up bringing it back to the store he only charged me ten bucks though so im happy. I still have a question though. Is apn backup what I could have used to restore my web and sms settings? Or is that something completely different? Thanks in advance.
Were you able to get this resolved? I am more or less in the same boat as you, but I have an EVO 3D that I am wanting to flash. I do however, have an inactivated EVO 4G, that was once flashed over to NTELOS that still is connected to NTELOS in case I need to pull something from it.

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.

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....

Have you looked at this thread yet?
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

Little help for the n00b?
I am a new convert to Android from iPhone, I purchased ATT's flagship model (Moto Atrix 4G) only to discover its all sorts of locked down. I carefully followed instructions, updated to 1.8.3, rooted with Gingerbreak, enabled sideloading and tethering APN with Glad enable, then used the CWM equivalent to flash Gingerblur 3.5. (I learn quick lol)
I noticed that after the install and reboot I had no APN's installed and was not connected to any data network, thus resulting in no data connectivity. I manually installed the APN settings provided here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=193
I am now getting errors such as "no response from the service" and slow connection speeds. 4G is available in my area but is spotty at best. Would a reflash of Gingerblur clear this up? or do i need to restore to stock .sbf and give it another go?
I too am missing APN's and the built in wi-fi hotspot doesn't turn on.
I believe this is an issue with Gingerblur 3.1 and 3.5.
I would recommend using GladEnabler to restore a custom APN

-ISSUE RESOLVED-
I realized after hours of trial and error that the issue went all the way back to the 1.8.3 .sbf I was using, once i restored to a retail 1.2.6 then updated OTA to get to 1.8.3 the issue was resolved. Even after all that I ended up taking my phone back to best buy and exchanging it for the new Samsung Infuse 4G. I upgraded from to the Atrix 4G from the Captivate (which I thoroughly LOVED!) but just couldn't get used to it, each phone is different even when it comes to the same models and my experience with the Atrix 4G can be described in one word...buggy, which is a shame since the Atrix 4G is probably the most powerful phone on the market right now... So I went back to my Galaxy S roots. Thanks for the help anyways, it is appreciated.
Hello all,
I have had no data connection in the last few days. solid signal, but no data. i have done almost everything i can do and still the same result. switched back to Rev.A and i can get 3g "ok", not sure whats up. Any suggestions? I also reflashed the Mr2 radio and no change.
Another thought is my SIM card might have taken a dump. Id be willing to take it into verizon and get a new sim but dont want to unroot, revert to stock. got way to much going on with my phone to just start from scratch again : ( just so i can "try" if a new SIM would work. what would happen if i took my rooted thunderbolt into a verizon store for a new SIM card?. Would they Deny me service?or put a note on my account stating i have rooted and voided my warranty?. Just curious as to what would happen. they would deffidently notice right off the bat because of my sense 3.0 rom, kernal, gingerbread, signal icons,lock ring,signal bars, spash screen, boot animation and sound, etc...
need help guys! thanks in advance! : )
Well I know you said you don't want to but just make a nandroid backup before you unroot and stick it on your pc for safe keeping. Then when you are re-rooted just wipe everything and restore the backup and you are EXACTLY where you were before. Plus with Revolutionary re-rooting takes all of 5-10 minutes.

Talk to the guys there. Get a feel for them... The guys at the shops near me couldn't care less about a rooted device. As long as the software isn't the issue, which a bum SIM shouldn't be, they shouldn't really care. I'd feel them out a bit before assuming unrooting is a must. You might get lucky.
I will send this thread up. This is exactly the problem I am experiencing. The Thunderbolt has perfectly good network signal but data connection is not working. It complains about "SIM card not found" when entering the Settings and APNs. The SIM card is detected by the device otherwise, it's possible to save contacts to it and retrieve them. But 4G data is completely dead.
I visited a VZW store yesterday and received a new SIM card but the problem is still there. I have also tried to reflash to the latest leaked radio without any solution.
The ROM used is the latest Synergy Nightly.
I begin to consider the possibility of restoring the Thunderbolt back to stock and get a replacement but it would be good if this problem can be solved.

Hi
I bought before 1 week Photon 4G
I dont like to try many roms because i am afread it breaks my phone
can you give me the best rom available for the photon
thank you
If you want a stock type rom, this one is very good http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403322 The only problem I have with it on sprint, is that mms doesn't work. I use go sms pro, put in sprint settings and it work fine. If you are using it with a gsm carrier, you can put your apn settings in for mms. No matter what rom you use, make sure to do a nandroid backup, so you can return to where you are.
Does anybody happen to have or is willing to make a Milestone X2 SBF for the Altell network? I am currently running the Ntelos SBF with no data connectivity. Any help would be appreciated.
I need the x2 sbf for alltel also, I can find it for the x but not x2
All your missing is the carrier files for that network. Try doing a more thorough search for the altell sbf or nandroid. That or if you can. take it in to your store tell them you got a bad flash and you just need them to write the carrier specific files to your phone so you can use it to connect again. It's easier and probably faster than having to scour arroud to find it.
Sent from my Milestone X2 using xda app-developers app
I'm pretty sure the Alltel sbf isn't on the internet lol cause I've searched extensively, and I've found/used other SBFs so it's not that I cant find any(though if I'm wrong about this I would gladly accept being proven wrong lol)
And I've taken phones into Alltel (HTC desire for US Cellular and Droid X2 for verizon) n got them to set them up on my account but with both of them the data stayed on my old phone n wouldn't work on the new ones. With the HTC I RUUed it with the Alltel one, with the DX2 i used the Ntelos SBF since I couldn't find an alltel one n figured if it didnt say verizon they wouldn't try the "this is a verizon phone, it wont work. just give up and leave" method lol
Maybe just getting the baseband would work, but finding that's about as impossible as finding the SBF in my experience
One of my major goals in life is getting a phone from another carrier on alltel, just because they say it can't be done lol. I hope someone figures out a way cause so far I'm not smart enough to
Try asking for someone to upload a stock nandroid of an altel phone. Write the ntelos sbf and restore the altel nandroid over top of it. If you don't want it to look like it was rooted do a factory reset and un install the recovery app. After that it should have altel branding everywhere but the kernel which will say ntelos. If you that doesn't give the phone network access try talking to a I.t. Rep and tell them the phone works all it needs is the apns and base band to be updated to their network. I've done before with my phone no problems the problem is getting a hold of the right people who will do what you need
