This phone (GT-i9100) is a GSM phone. From what I know, as of right now, MetroPCS runs on a CDMA network. You cannot flash a GSM phone to work on a CDMA network. It's impossible.
Only Galaxy SII variants that already work on CDMA networks (like the Alltel or Sprint ones) can be flashed to MetroPCS, as far as I know.

Does anyone know if the SGS2 unlocked will work with H20 sim card and get 3g and 4g or what about Crickett Wireless...I live in the USA
For H20, the international one as well as the AT&T one will work just fine (no need to unlock for the AT&T one). The T-Mobile one will work as well but only 3G Using the 1900mhz frequency but you'll need to unlock of-course.
As far as I know, the Galaxy SII from Sprint (Epic 4g Touch) is the only one that will work on Cricket's network, but you have to flash it to work on Cricket. I don't know the specifics though. You'll have to research it.
flash to cricket
does anyone have a noob proof walkthrough on doing a full flash from sprint 4g version to cricket?

No i9100 user would have a reason to have one. Why don't you try the epic 4g touch (SPH-D710) forum.

MetroPCS? Will this phone (specifically the GT-I9100) even work on their network? I thought they were a CDMA carrier?
EDIT: hold up. You say "about to get Galaxy S2 I9100 switched over to metro"... does this mean you already have the phone and are switching to Metro? Or did you order the phone and are waiting for it to arrive, and plan to switch to Metro?
Your profile says you are on T-Mobile USA. If you ALREADY have a Galaxy SII on T-Mobile, you probably have the SGH-T989.
If you DON'T already have a Galaxy SII, and you've ordered the GT-I9100, and want full use of 3g/"4g", you will HAVE to go to AT&T or H2O, or any other GSM carrier that may be regional to your area that uses the same frequencies as AT&T. Or, you could stick with T-Mobile, but your mobile data speeds will be limited to Edge.
MetroPCS uses completely different cellular transmission technology, and the GT-I9100 will not even pick up a signal on their network for voice, let alone data.
EDIT 2: For that matter, if you have the T-Mobile variant (SGH-T989), that one won't work on Metro either, for the same reason.
Well it's both I'm picking up the phone after work and I plan to get it flashed to Metro. I was told that the phone is the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100. I'm doing it for my girl who already has Metro. I have seen other user selling Galaxy S2 already on Metro so I know for a fact that they have the Web & MMS working, I just cant find it for myself! Thanks for the reply by the way!

Who ever told you "Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100" is wrong. There is no such thing.
The I9100 is the international model that operates on GSM.
If it's from Sprint, they meant the "SPH-D710", not "I9100".
You are better off asking in this forum. Someone there may have experience flashing a Sprint variant to Metro.
It's not very likely that anyone here in the I9100 forums is going to be able to help you, sorry.
I think he posted the wrong model>>>>> What Carrier has Galaxy S2 model I9100???? I think sprint model is Sphd710!
Thanks for the Help!!!!

If he said it's flashable to Metro, then yes, he got the model wrong.
NO carrier in the US carries the I9100. It is the international model. But like I said, it works on AT&T for voice and 3g/"4g" (which is what I'm using), and T-mobile USA for voice and Edge.
Hello Everyone
I don't know if this has been asked before, but I searched and found no answers. Basically, Me and my dad want to switch from Rogers to Mobilicity (which uses the 1700/2100 frequency), so we went to the mobilicity store and tried my dad's galaxy s2 lte (rogers version) with the mobilicity sim card, and the phone didn't detect mobilicity's network (it goes into Rogers roaming mode i think). So I started looking around, and I found this advertisement on Kijiji Calgary about modifying the S2 LTE to work with Mobilicity's frequency. So, Is there a way I can convert/modify the phone by myself to work with the AWS 1700/2100 frequency? I assume the phone has to be rooted first if such thing is possible?
Thanks!
I don't think so as it's HW related.

i have the tmobile version (SGH-T989) flashed to the Rogers radio... and now i'm able to connect to RoBelLus
and when i'm fed up w/ their high prices, I can just flash back a Tmobile radio and go with Wind/Mobilicity
it works for the ATT Skyrocket & Tmobile version of the S2 ... i'm not sure if it will work with the Rogers one... do some research, you should be able to do it
PM me if you some help researching... if i can't get u the answers, i might be able to guide you to the right threads
For my phone listed in title, am I able to work this onto a wireless carrier such as Wind Mobile? I'm not sure if the phone itself will work on their AWS network. Wind says they use 1700/2100. I'm trying to unlock my phone and see if this will be a useful move.
Link (for my phone specs AFAIK): gsmarena.com/samsung_vibrant-3416.php
Note: I know it's the vibrant model, but in Canada they renamed it differently for no reason.
It seems that I cannot get any straight information whether Verizon galaxy s4 works with Metro PCS. After all update to 4.3 and rooted, I try different carriers sim card such as tmobile, att, they all work fine both voice and data, but when I try Metro PCS sim and set APN correctly, phone does not have any network. Does anybody have any idea? If so, do I need to do full metro pcs flash? Please advise.
I have a Note II. It was an AT&T phone but I had it unlocked. Seems to be OK on Metro. I used the T-mobile APN epc.t-mobile etc. Download speed depends on location I've seen up to 33 down and 18 up but mostly a lot less. Although they are using the t-mobile infrastructure the phone doesn't work as good as my T-mobile Note 1. The signal is spotty and phone service is inconsistent. I paid for a month so I will see.
Sorry i can't help your specific situation but it seems to work with T-mobile so I don't see why it wouldn't with Metro PCS.
