Root MetroPCS EVO-ALL INFO HERE+[ROM] Metrogenmod 7.1

[regenarodrigue]

I have a few questions.
One I had my evo flashed to metro pcs and when it was done my prl read 3019 and at the top of my screen it had the 3g icon. (it was pretty fast)
this past weekend I got stuck on the startup screen and it kept looping. So I downloaded the necessary files to flash metrodroid 2.2 and that fixed it as far as the loop goes.
But now I am only getting the 1x at the top. after pushing the new prl3025 any suggestions???
Also when I send a mms the only thing the other person is getting is a link for go sms how do I fix this so that I can send mms?
thanks in advanced for any help
Here is a screen shot what my 1x is getting
1x photo, picture, image on Use.com

There is certain roms that will show 3g no matter if you are getting 1x they will still say 3g. Your new ROM is probably just showing your true signal. If your in a 3g area try some of the other prls.

 

[regenarodrigue]

I will try the other prl's.
After I had my phone flashed,I still had the stock rom on the phone. I even had to root it after the flash.



I tried all prl's and it seems the best one is 3025. I have friends that have lg optimus and are on prl 3019 and their signal says 3g

 

[mteezey]

Yea its seems like metro branded phones have president over flashed phones. I personally can't get my phone to connect now that 3g is everywhere by me. But when it was first popping up I would connect here and there. I've tried evry setting from all the guides here and xda. And no 3g even when I have an ascend in one hand with 3g and mine on 1x in the other hand. And both phones on the same prl. Jds guide on xda has seemed to be pretty helpful for everyone with evos in Florida. I can't remember but thought you said you were in Tampa. Just keep tryin you should get it back.
Sorry that Tampa thing was a different thread I think

ok heres the deal i got a sprint evo 4g with a bad spring esn. i want to use it on metro pcs.
its running 2.3.3.
I know i can take it to some guy and pay them 80$ and they will supposedly get it working but this seems like fun for me to try and do it on my own and i'd rather save the $ as mr. obama is not helping me out.

I have been reading up online
1. I need to have the ESN "activated" on metropcs first before i can do anything? is this true? and if so will the metropcs store do it for? is there a charge? And will they activate it with it being a bad spring esn?
2. Do i need to "root" it, and if so why what does the rooting do? any instructions on how to roo it?
3. Is there a "flash" that needs to be done after rooting? and if so why? what does the flashing do? where can i download the latest flash?
4. also i've read of concerns of not being able to get or send mms or use the internet, is there something besides rooting and flashing that i need to perform to get everything to work correctly?

sorry for all the noob questions but there just no real answer that i can find on what steps need to be taken to port over the evo 4g to metro.
thanks in advance!

Yes you have to get esn added. You can try to have it metroflashed by corporate store then program web mms yourself. Not sure if corp stores will do the bad esn thing though. The op has links to everything you need once your esn is in metro database.

welcome to the forums!!!!!!!!!!!!
i would go here:
[ROM] MetroDroid v2.2, AOSP Web & MMS Script - Updated Scripts UP! Test My Minions! - xda-developers

and flash the sense 4.53 script. this should allow you to send mms not sure on data though.

also i would read the op for this thread. there is a ton of info on there on how to get data working. also there are some suggested roms that will work for you.

 

[mikekelso421]

Exactly what ocn said. Buy from my experience the gingerbreak sense mms fixes don't work.for me at least. Can't speak for others.

It also sounds like you didn't provision your phone either. No web =no MMS. So follow the "how to provision guide" first.

 

[aaaphonerepair]

Thank you guys for the fast reply. I got the Roms from the OP. I had MetroDroid2.2 Rom before switching to Smooth N Sexy sence Rom I did the data fix and everything worked except for Pandora radio and YouTube. Do I have to do this fix every time I flash a new rim?

Thanks again,

Thanks again,

Under bloodys zip files there is a fix for the streaming issue. ##data# then change the 2 that he says to change.. they should be 0.0.0.0. After u change those,back out and your streaming YouTube and Pandora.

I still think this thread should be a sticky. Lol :maybe one day:

in that same link there is a data provision guide that will give you net. Then the scripts will fix mms.make sure your data settings are set to bloody guide and you will have data frim thatvpoint on. My internet has stayed no matter what rom i flashed even 3.5 roms. Scripts dont always work for some though. SOS SNS both work with the 4.53 scriot . Good luck

This might sound crazy or maybe im just lucky. But ive been flashing the 3.0 script that mdiaz33685 has in his sig (xda). Then flashed the 4.53 script without wiping. I dont know why i decided to try it i just liked the way that script flashed a little better. I noticed that one actually changes the ro.cdma.home.operater and other ro. files plus removes the gsm home op files from the build prop. Nothing against bloody cuz its still his script that makes it work but his make no changes to the build prop that i could see so i decided to combine them. That worked for me on kings and with the 4.53 on sos im running right now.
