Root Sticky Request for EVO ON METRO PCS!

lol granite!

i understand the need and the want to have a sticky for this, but we can only have so many stickies and we have a lot as it is.

what you can do if you want to help out, is to create a guide on how to flash over to metropcs and what are some good roms that will work. and that way i can just bookmark your thread and refer people who are having issues to this thread (well not this thread). i unfortunately do not have an experience in it so i will leave it up to you. or somebody else who is willing. like you said this could come in handy.

Ive noticed alot of people flashing EVO's over to metro pcs.Most EVO related topics are leaned more towards sprint related issues.i think it would benefit ALOT of people if there was a sticky thread for the "METRO FLASHED HTC EVO".please support this to help keep this forum as organized as possible.thanks everyone!

You do realize when you flash the HTC EVO over to Metro, you are only getting a 1x CDMA Android, right? LTE and Wi-Max are incompatible. So, you will end up with a 4G phone that is no longer 4G.

Also, you can only flash the EVO over to CDMA in Metro markets where the "regular" CDMA frequencies are used. This excludes New York city and handful of other markets where Metro uses AWS. Metro's own phones have those frequencies built into the chipsets, but phones flashed from the major carriers do not.

Yes I'm fully aware. I'm also aware that my bill is like 50 cheaper than anyone else's bill who was sprint. 3G is really not fast enough for me to spend an extra 50 or 75 a month for faster data. Plus a minute limit. F all that noise. 1X is fine by me. Especially when my bill is 45 a month.
