10. Spc code can be obtained through cdma workshop or by using checkesnfree.com Get Spc
11. Look for roam tab and there will be an option under preferred roaming to search for new prl locate it and select write it will ask for ur spc code again

note I'm not responsible for bricking ur phone I've done this before and familiar with the software even though this quick tut should be noob friendly
 
Is this safe? If it messes up can a nandroid restore fix everything?

its safe as long as you follow steps provided and dont venture within qpst and start changing random things within the program

im running stock so im unsure if nandroid restore will work in case u misread or fail to follow instructions

again ive recreated the above steps couple times and had no problem everything worked smoothly

if you do something to your programming a nand restore will not fix it, So as he says dont mess with anything other then what is listed.:D

it says session terminated and wrong spc and its not

when you get your spc from the site maker sure its meid dec
press far left left key this will get u into settings
select about phone > status
and look for meid dec
when entering meid on site make sure metropcs option is selected

when does it say session terminated?

did you get the spc from the checkesnfree.com website?

did you at any point change the spc for your phone?
was the phone new when you got it.

like new optimus said if phone was bought new spc should be same as checkesnfree.com but, if bought used there is a possibility previous owner changed it, most users change spc to all zeros but that may not be the case
