Help Trouble restoring meid....HEEELLPPPP

nope, its out the box, and recovery is gone.that link you gave me was pretty cut and dry but now I gotta re-figure out rooting hahaha
easy way gingerbreak, then do the adb thing with custom recovery.
if you have any backups of your sense rom it just a matter of restoring at that point.
make sure you dont have your nand backup on your sd card when using gingerbreak as it may format your sd card

OK got my bars, root, and recovery (no nand backup :(( i know) Still no service though
when you went through the get web working did you make sure to put the 10digit#@mymetropcs.com and your spc as password?
there are multiple places those need to be, and you need check marks in a few places, they dont mention on the tutorial but is shown in the pics


Also I noticed for what ever reason the username, before I changed it always had 10digit#@aeee.mymetropcs.com
Those extras are not supposed to be there.

you and me both, ill fool with it in the a.m if I dont get it
ya if it is just the min number and all your web stuff is done you should have it set. its not too bad the info is entered the phone reboots and you should have 3g if your towers have it enabled.
I hope they do, thats alot of work you did for nothing otherwise. well not really its good learning experience and you never know maybe they will bring it to you.
either way please post if you get the 3g icon, trying to keep an unofficial listing.

Ok woke up, called in to work. And got back on this. Where Im stuck now is I have signal but still no service. Cant make/recieve calls. No web or anything. MIN and mdn still arent right.


EDIT- Using cmda I put in my phone numeber so now in settings i see my number (min is also my number) but still nothing except now under mobile network state it says connecting and then disconnected

the MDN and MIN are different numbers, 10 years ago they were the same but not any more, I think its to limit the ability of cloning.
I would check to make sure if yours are the same its the first I have heard in 10 years.

if you have cdma workshop you can change the min and mdn through that, though I am surprised that ##626* didnt work, how about ##7764726690, see if that works, if not put a # behind the 690
