Help collect call problem after rooting

ElectricDevil · Jul 26, 2011

Hey i was wondering if sombody could help me out.
i just rooted my LG optimus M using this guide LG Optimus M Root 2.2.1 rootd0wn
everything seems to be working fine except when i try to call a number the operator says "to make a collect call or a lanline call press 1 to buy a prepaid card press 2"

Before i rooted i was making calls fine.can anybody help me out?
thanks a bunch

Did you install a custom recovery when you were done? If not that's why you don't have service more than likely

You might want to try switching to a different ROM. If that doesn't work then you should go to a corporate MetroPCS store and ask about it.

I will pm you the links to all of the ROMS for this phone.

thanks for the roms mikenly but the problem is still there.it still says push 1 for a collect call when i try to make a phone call.
im guessing it has something to do with MS690ZV4_26-root.bin, MS690ZV3_36.scr and 3017nam1.prl with LGNPST to root thats when i lost it when the phone rebooted.

Hmm. You might want to pm Joneidy. He will know what to do and is always willing to help.

thanks i just sent him a message.btw i just found out my phone is on a service called 'American roaming'? when it should be on metro pcs.
Im thinking my phone got flashed to another carrier thats not mine

Edit: is there a way to maybe flash it back?

I don't believe that's why. Its because you have no signal. When you have no signal your phone goes to roaming and picks up the closest network. Whenever you get signal then it will go back to Metro.

is there anyway to get it out of roaming and pickup my metro pcs signal?

try going to Settings>Wireless & Network Settings>Mobile Networks

First see if you have National Data Roaming selected- If you do uncheck it
If not go to System Select and check Home only to force it to be on Metro's network.

Hope that helps you

i tried that but it doesnt seem to do anything.any other solutions?

Try to dial *228 to update your prl file and then reboot after update

Yeahh. Your prl could be outdated. We're at 3019 so go to Settings>About Phone and look at your prl number. Anything under 3019, then you should call *228. Say "Roaming list" immediately after the Spanish prompt. Then say "yes". It will download the latest prl roaming list.
