Stumbled upon this so I thought I'd share it here in the Rezound forum.
Seems to still be working after the new year started... don't know how long it will last.
The offer is for certain phones and someone made an app to make it very easy to make it seem you have those phones even without a rooted phone. I know most of the people on here are rooted by now though. Perhaps this works on rooted phones too, or else just search and you'll find a thread about doing it on rooted phones.
Thread by the app maker with link to download here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1413382
Since this is still working here's what you can do if you have a rooted phone. Change the following values to this:
ro.product.model=VS910 4G
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE
Then change them back afterwards, so save the originals.
Full instructions here:

Make sure you have an account setup @ Box.com first, all this app does is enable to 50GB storage.
Its setup and everything...I installed the apk on sdcard installed it and tried to log in and it said log in error
Thanks. Upgraded with no problem and confirmed =)

Worked for me a couple days ago. If you get the login error double check your info. You can login to box.net to confirm it worked in your account settings, it will show you your allocated memory.

Many thanks!! Just worked for My wife and I
Nice to see it's still working!
Just worked for me, thanks!
App still worked for me! Great find!
I found this Box APK that does the work for you. All you do is enter your username/password in and it adds the 50GB to your account. I'm currently not rooted and it worked. It gave me a login error but I checked my Box account and it shows 50GB. Once you use the app you can uninstall it.
I found the APK over on AndroidForums: http://www.mediafire.com/?6uzjl6hjtxtindl
If this is not allowed here please remove the download. Hope this makes it easier for some of you.
That's exactly what I posted except I gave the link to the app creator's thread.
Still working ;-)

Ok i just bought a new Optimus one p500 today.
So I've just started checking it out.. but one thing i noticed was that the default android twitter app doesnt allow me to log into my account.
Even though the Username/password were right, it keeps showing "Invalid Username/password" message..
i tried m.twitter.com from the native browser and that was able to log me in .. right now its just the android twitter app..
any1 else faced this problem?

Update your twitter app using the market

Oh, and should i really root my phone.. Right now its got 2.2.1..
so should I root and install a custom ROM now itself, or use the phone for a week or more, and then decide?

Well, i rooted and installed a custom rom on my phone three days after purchasing it... But I had done my "homework" a few days before, learning a bit more about Android.
Take your time and do what you want, but I do believe you won't regret rooting your phone

Regarding root, I'd say exactly as you. Take a little time and read about custom recovery, root, roms, 2.2, gingerbread, froyo etc. See development section for such knowledge. Everything is there!

Just some clarification - I couldn't use the Sideloading Wonder Machine to install this as it is already installed on my phone, so to get it to install, just push it to the phone or put it on the SD Card (internal or external), and use a file explorer to install it. It will ask if you want to install over the existing app, and obviously you want to.
Works like a charm! And by charm, I mean slow as crap right now, but that's cool, it's not even supposed to be out yet.... Thanks Kenn!

interesting. i hadn't heard of this issue before but a quick google search lead me to this thread which has a seemingly logical solution/directions: Music Beta by Google: A Must Read For All Root Users!. i haven't tested it personally but it seems very feasible.
to summarize the answer from the post linked above:
Just log into the desktop version of Music Beta by clicking here, go into settings, and then you'll see a place to manage your devices. Just remove the multiple device entries from the list, and then... presto!

i'll have to check my own account for this as i would imagine any android user who wipes their /data often when switching ROMs might run into this issue.
hope the solution I linked to helps!

Hey guys.
I've gotten many PMs and replies on here asking how to get everything working on our Evo 3Ds on MetroPCS.
Here is how I got everything working on two Evo 3Ds on MetroPCS. I didn't come up with any of this information, I just put different files and guides together and it works for me. Hopefully it will work for you.
PROVISIONING
First start by following bloodykiller86's Provisioning Guide STEP BY STEP.
The settings are the same across all devices. Following the instructions on the guide (for the Evo 4G) will get you set up correctly on the Evo 3D.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD METRODROID. That rom is only for Evo 4G. After you complete step 28, come back to this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8395950&postcount=1
Now you should have voice, text and internet working.
3G SPEEDS
MetroPCS has upgraded their towers in most areas of service to include 3G coverage. If your area doesn't have it yet, it probably will get it soon enough.
You need to have PRL 3022 or newer for this to work.
So here we go,
Latest MetroPCS PRL
1. Download the file.
2. Copy PRL file to the root of your SD card.
3. Open your dialer and dial ##775# (if nothing happens, download this EPST.apk and push it to /system/app/ with permissions set to RW-R--R--).
4. Put in your MSL code (if you followed bloodykiller86's guide above it should be 000000...if not, download MSL Reader from the Market and it will give you your MSL code).
5. Click on Update PRL
6. It will take a while, but eventually it will show you the prl file that you placed on your SD card. Click on it, click on OK.
7. Now press the Menu button, and click on Commit Modifications.
8. Reboot your phone and now you will have access to 3G service if its available in your area!
NOTE: some roms do not correctly show the difference between 3G and 1X service. I used SteelH's SteelRom line of Roms and they always changed from 1X to 3G depending on my service.
MMS
This is the biggest hurdle, which very few people have successfully gotten to work. It is not a perfect solution but it works very well for us.
Download the following Zip file (not flashable):
download
Follow these instructions carefully:
1. Download and install Titanium Backup. You will also need the PRO version, so you'll need to shell out a couple of bucks if you don't already own it. It's well worth it anyways.
2. Download and install APN Backup & Restore from the Market.
3. Open APN Backup & Restore, ignore the ICS warning, and click on "Backup APNs". Exit out of APN Backup & Restore.
4. Place this folder in your SD Card.
5. Copy MetroPCS_MMS_Send_APN.xml from this folder to the APN Backup folder in the root of the SD Card.
6. Open Titanium Backup, go under Backup/Restore, and find APN Backup & Restore, press and select "Make system app."
7. Open APN Backup & Restore, ignore the ICS warning, press menu, and disable ICS check. Exit APN Backup & Restore.
8. Open APN Backup & Restore again, and now there should not be an ICS warning!
9. Click on "Delete APNs."
6. Click on Restore APNs and select "MetroPCS_MMS_Send.APN.xml".
6a. Press Ok after selecting the above.
6b. Press No when you get the message asking Yes or No.
7. Using Root Explorer or a similar app, copy the MMS.apk file from this folder to your /system/app/ folder.
7a. Make sure you are in R/W mode and click Yes to overwrite existing file if you get the message.
7b. Make sure to delete any duplicate MMS.apk or mms.apk from the /system/app directory. You should only have one Mms.apk file (notice the capitalization changes in the three files I mentioned).
7c. Make sure to delete any MMS.odex, mms.odex, or Mms.odex file in /system/app.
8. Set permissions to RW-R--R--
9. Reboot and enjoy.
Notes:
Open the Messaging app and under Settings make sure to check (enable) "SMS split".
I use Handcent to send and receive the MMS messages. Try your own messaging app, and if it doesn't work, you can always use Handcent.
As of this writing, you must not be connected to a Wi-Fi network for the messages to download or send. You can have Wi-Fi on but not be connected.
If you have a better way of getting this done please send me a message.
VOICEMAIL NOTIFICATIONS
As far as I know, and from my personal experience, the Sprint VoiceMail app does not work with MetroPCS.
I use the free app Voicemail Notifier and it has always worked reliably. It is no longer in the market, but you can
download my modded version here.
not flashable, extract to your sd card and install as a normal app.
OPTIONAL
You can now uninstall APN Backup & Restore and MSL Reader.
To send and receive 3D images, use TwinPic 3D. It will work over WiFi or over 3G.

Click to collapse
On Tron, and most other AOSP/AOKP ROMs, the phone no longer identifies itself as a "Verizon" phone, so Verizon specific apps don't work... Some of them you can side load and will work, others will not or will only work partially since most of them require other Verizon specific apps and services to be running on the phone and I don't know of any AOSP ROMs that have those services loaded. Check the various APK repositories and try to install, but to be honest it's only a 50/50 chance it will work.
This is the reason that we generally use Ultimate Backup (or Titanium Backup, My Backup, etc) and Nandroid images, and Google cloud based services and do not use Verizon services on custom ROMs.
Alright, fixed the issue, went into my build.prop and changed "ro.carrier" from "unkown" to "verizon" and aloud me to download it.
