I flashed the htc pro 2 from sprint to metropcs. i can call 611 to metro customer service. metropcs can not activate phone because imei is invalid or the esn is invalid. need help to activate it. thanks.
Yeah that is metro for you. Metro won't activate a phone that they themselves can't through houdini.
Go to craigslist and find someone who owns a store and could do it for you.
Here is a list of providers that can help, courtesy of berry_lthird of howardsforum

Hi all..
I am at a loss.. I am a GSM guy and not too familiar with CDMA stuff.. Right now Cricket is running a special where one can get unlimited talk & Txt for $25/mo... That would be perfect for my son... I went to the local cricket store to talk to the sales rep (he wasn't that knowledgeable it seemed).. but he said in our market I need a tri-band phone to work.. I am inthe Milwaukee/Chicago Region.. Anyone know the story here? I don;t want to but a Touch PRo ot Touch, flash it, and then find out it won;t work... Thanks in advance
I was not able to find a thread showing the steps on how to flash to metro. I already unlocked my cdma and I am going to put Myghtyrom 032310. How can I flashed to metro without having to go to a Metro store? Oh, I forgat to mention that I already have an old samsung connected to metro, so do I need to do what is called, clone the phone? If so, how? Thanks in advance:
find a store locally that flashes blackberrys and have them add your TP2 ESN to the metro network and activate it onto your account. I paid $150 in Orlando FL to have them add the ESN after I flashed the phone to Metros network myself. U will have to go to a store to have it done legit. BTW i dont think anyone is gonna help u clone a phone because that is illegal

You need to pay a Metro store to have the ESN added.
As the prior member stated, cloning is illegal and not supported.
Some people will advise you to go to a metro pcs corporate store...but 90% of the time- they either don't know how or don't want to. Your best bet is finding a dealer store... I found one on craigslist in my area. It is legit. Metro store reps aren't trained well. The dealer i found-flashed it and added the ESN for me.
You can also try this online services that will do it for you...
This site is reputable- found many ppcgeeks members recommend it.

for $65, you get WEB,PIC,GPS,TET,APP
well go clone phones then smartypants
No need to clone smartphones to metro. Waste of money and NOT worth the trouble. You can flash it yourself and then take it to a store that will add the ESN onto metro's network. I flashed my HTC Mogul myself.

I have an optimus-s I have rooted with clockwork I then flashed reborn 2.2.4 rom
I am trying to flash this phone to boostmobile can someone help me from here?
I had this phone with sprint so the esn is not stolen or lost, I replaced it with an EVO 4g and i am giving this phone to someone with a boostmobile seek and so I figured I would try and flash it over for them being neother of us have the extra 100 buck to throw away to the cell retailer to flash it for us, I have cdma programs that gave me the optimus-s msid, spc, psc, and all that stuff but thats as far as I want to go with out some sort of information so I don't brick it before i give it away.
p.s.
I did call boostmobile and the rep said they could do it but some functions may not work, I did call sprint and told the rep what exactly i had planned to do with the phone they did in fact give me the spc code ad some other six digit code, the boostmobile rep said the phone would have to be flashed for the boostmobile network and to ask a boostmobile store to complete the job but they said it would cost almost $100 with tax to have them flash it.
Hey everyone...
So I received my One at 5:30 today from Mr. UPS. It's a beautiful phone. The performance is jaw-dropping. But, like many others, I was hit with the LTE problems on AT&T.
AT&T whitelists certain phones that have been approved to use their LTE network. If you sign up for their service with a non-supported IMEI, they boot you back to HSDPA. I don't have a donor Galaxy S 4/5. HTC One M7/M8, LG G2/G3, etc., to use the IMEI to access the LTE network.
So, I'm extending out to all of you here on XDA. I've opened up the XDA-Exclusive Invite List. I'm donating all 5 of my invites to the community. Does anyone have a spare AT&T LTE-capable phone that they'd be willing to give me the IMEI for temporarily? This isn't a scam...I don't even know what I'd do with an IMEI other than use it to get my OPO on AT&T's LTE network. Please, help me out. PM me if you have a donor IMEI. Thank you all so much in advance. This is a huge favor that you'd be doing me.
I used one from the demo phone at best buy and it has worked fine so far. If I get in there tomorrow I'll try to get you one.

That is freaking brilliant....
I'm sorry @treChoy, but discussing about IMEI trading and / or changing is against xda rules. So please don't do this in open forum.

Hi all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy 4 that I got with a 2 year contract with Verizon. That contract is up and I like the phone very much. I saw that I could save a lot of money with Ting as my carrier (Ting.com) and bought a SIM card from them. I followed all of the Ting instructions, but working with their support staff apparently they have issues working with phones that did not come from Sprint or Tmobile. I can make calls with my phone through Ting, but texts do not work and when I call voicemail it gives me an error. This error might be because the phone is still calling the Verizon service for voicemail, which is cancelled.
If I root my phone (never done it before) can I bring it back to the manufacturer settings before Verizon put any software on it? If so, what software/ROM do you recommend to get it back to factory settings. I think this is my only chance to get Ting to work with this phone. I don't want to have to sign up with Verizon or ATT and pay activation fees.
I appreciate the help.

Hi, thanks for using XDA assist!
The problem here is that Verizon is a GSM carrier and Sprint is CDMA.

Thanks for responding. Actually Ting has deals with Tmobile and Sprint so it works. I am GSM and the phone says Tmobile at the top now, so I dont think that is the issue. Do you know if my idea regarding rooting will work?

Unfortunately, I don't think that will work. I know from repairing phones, that phones built for Verizon have different internal hardware than phones built for Sprint. While it may be possible that I'm wrong, and your phone might be successfully ported to Ting, I feel it is highly unlikely.
I think you should contact Ting customer support and get a definite answer before proceeding.
