This is what I did I have LG optimus m
1. Make sure USB debugging is enabled
2. Download USB driver and install on your computer
3. Download 3020 prl or New Prl 3022 Credit goes to LockLady OR even newer PRL 3023 latest prl 3024
4. Download and install qpst 2.7 qpst 2.7
5. Connect phone to computer
6. Open device manager expand ports and make note of what com port your USB device is on
7. Open up qpst configuration if com port is not shown select add port and enter com# (# being the one seen @ device manager)
8. Select service programming (phone must be selected to continue)
9. On the main menu setting tab click read from phone and will obtain phone info it will ask for ur spc
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

yeah no go on 3g in LA area been to burbank sun valley westwood dwntown LA and no 3g showed up
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
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
I did this last night and it was amazingly quick and easy. Literally took less than five minutes after I got the program downloaded. I was ripping my hair out trying to get LGNPST to work yesterday.

THanks for this finding!!
I'm in Irving, TX. I did a couple speed tests before updating (1x) and got this as average:
Down: 150kbps
Up:150kbps
Ping:1132ms
And full bars for phone coverage.
After updating, immediately picked up 3g, but one small line of phone coverage. the results of a couple of tests:
down:150
up:100
ping:360ms
As you can see, I only got noticeable improvements in ping, while loosing phone coverage... I just tried this here, not sure if other areas will have a different result, but I'm going back to 3019.

you can switch between evdo only and cdma only using LTEonoff from marketplace
Does anyone know how to get the recovery mode or an actual fastboot mode with key combos for LG Optimus M? Likewise, does anyone know how to do the type of thing described above from a Mac? Likewise, I keep seeing requirements for USB debugging mode and root and stuff, but that's not possible without an OS on the phone. I'm trying to put an OS on an LG Optimus M without Windows and without an OS on the phone. Thanks,
Sean

The key combo was told so I wont but you can not run lgnpst without windows, you could however run a virtual enviorment, or boot camp and windows. Those are the best options I got for you.

it always asks for spc however if you changed it to all 000's it is set there by default.
As to no signal that sounds strange, unless you got a phone with a bad internal antenna.
When I enter service programming it asks for code.When i click write it does not. But my prl is 3022 now.so it Did it. I get service fine. But no 3g service when I switch to it.I used wiggle and checked the tower. Its only 1x.I used yo get 3g

if you entered the code when you went into service programming you dont need to enter it a second time to write it.
every program is different though I am sure on some you would.

Finally had to learn and make use of this - was backdown to 1x (after having 3G for couple months w no problems) - this tutorial helped greatly - was very easy to use and understand. Thanks soo much ~whew~ as it felt good to finally see 3G again
Was wondering if anybody had their computer/laptop freeze or reboot after last step, "write to phone" using this Tut. The 2xs I did this, my computer froze and I'd have to reboot, but all's good

Would be great......If you could create another Beautiful Screenshot tutorial with the instructions on:

I wll Definitely be linking back to your instructions when people need help
============
1. Make sure USB Debugging on phone is enabled,
2. Download USB driver and install on your computer
3. Download and install qpst 2.7
4. Connect phone to computer
5. Open device manager expand ports and make note of what com port your USB device is on
Load QPST, under Start Clients menu, select "Service Programming".
Click Read from Phone and enter MSL/Spc code (000000).
Then Save to file.(This will save a .qcn and .rl0 file)
Then In QPST, under Start Clients menu, select "RL Editor".
In RL Editor, load your .rl0 file. Go to File, Save As... make sure the type is *.prl and enter a file name.
