dang good work!
thank you for taking the time to write up a guide! awesome stuff.

yea people kept asking in my rom thread and theres never a guide that explains it in detail so i wrote it up lol thanks =P

im stuck on that MEID/ESN cuz my QPST windows its too small.. cant see all that numbers for that ESN

Wow an evo 4g for metro ? Lolz. I wonder if youll get 4g. Great posting

Ok i did everything right now....
Just installing metrodroid 1.0...
I will let chu know whats that result... in a few mins...

majestic if you go back to cdma workshop it will show your esn there and then just use that =P or if u go to settings>about phone>Phone Identity it will show you meid there

Well we get it working on MetroPCS but we'll never have 4G since MetroPCS will be getting LTE not wimax lol..hopefully they'll atleast update all their markets for 3G =D

Well i dont have that 67 error no more...
But i still have no web or mms.....
haha im like about to give up lol...

results
what plan do you have? you have to atleast have a $45 plan, and you sure your on metropcs because everything here works fine for me

I think i got that 40 dlrs.. but i dont think that has anything to do with it? it is?
cuz it gives you txt call web mms included it...

should be working just fine then. what area do you live in?

When you say reboot you mean turn off your phone turned it back on by holding down Volumen & power.... then set recovery...
Now
Wipe Data/Factory and Dalvik-Cache
I think here is where im having trouble...
I do see Wipe Data/Factory
But i cannot find Dalvik-Cache ALL I SEE IS CACHE PARTIONS?
so what im doing wrong Bloody...

ahh your using clockwork recovery i dont know much about that recovery. i use Amon_ra theres a thread for his recovery and its very easy to flash in fastboot

Ok let me download it... then i will let chu know hows that metrodroid does after that...

Ok i did everything now... installing metrodroid..
Lets see if it works now... haha

k let me know..if it doesnt work then idk why it wouldnt should work just fine

Well it didnt work for me haha
If someone else does this and it does work pls shared

try using any other sense rom and install autostart from market and then flash the zip from one of the other metropcs guides i forget which one. if that doesnt work then you account must not have data setup correctly

When you dial ##DATA# you dont need to modified there nothing?

How to Flash MOTOROLA DROID to Cricket: 2.2 Froyo FULL apps,web,mms

Flash Moto Droid to Cricket / Metro full apps, web,mms.
This is my attempt to recreate the solution from Howard Forums
i may have missed a few steps along the way but here it goes. as of 08/02/2010 - make directory now for 2.2 roms
FILES FOR FLASHING TO CRICKET (U2nl,PRL's,Autostart,SPRecovery,NV items)
Special thanks and credit should go to
SyZtyM (i recreated his thred for XDA)
gijoey1980
Tracphonejunkie
whiterabittorg
To0
Insaincain (For the nv items. You are a legend, and credit is due where credit is due**AS read from SyZtyM)
Admin (For all sites. PERIOD)
You will need:
1. CDMA WS 2.7 (google)
2.Harware Virtural Serial Port this is the demo good for 14days
3. Motorola A855 USB drivers (These are the 32bit Drivers)
4. Cyanogen Mod Rom from Rom Manager in market
5. SPRecovery
6&7.Autostart.sh & U2nl from whitrabbit.org (thanks to whiterabbit). Save autostart.sh and U2nl in C:\android\tools\.
8.download Autostart (Root) from Market
9. NV items from http://www.whiterabbit.org/android (u must generate this uniquely with you [email protected] i have included a generated [email protected] for sample or to replace x's with you MDN
Step 1. First step is to make sure you have the drivers installed on your computer, and you also need to have Android SDK installed on your computer.
You will need to root the phone, key here is to make sure the kernel you load supports iptables.
Step 2. if you need to ROOT: follow the guide
than download Rom manager over wifi from MARKET, proceed to flash clockwork and download and install cyanogen 5.xx rom, and google apps..wipe data etc.
Step 2.1 if first fails. get RSD Lite 4.6 (google), Power on phone holding down the up arrow and pressing power, this will put you into bootloader mode.
Open RSD Lite 4.6
Flash the SPRecovery_ESE81.sbf file with RSD Lite.
this should just flash the recovery if not download a rom like SMOKEDGLASS unzip and put in folder on SD named Nandroid
Once the phone is completely rebooted into rooted android, power it off.
alternately u can install BuglessBeast froyo v 02.1 from alldroid.org then skip to these steps below
Hold down “T” on the keypad and power on phone.
Plug into computer and open HW Virtual Serial Port (your drivers should install and connect etc)
In HWVS set the IP address to 192.168.16.2 and the port to 11008, choose the com port 10 click connect. (For this tutorial we will use COM10)
Open CDMA WS 2.7 and (go to settings tab and deselect NV Enabled) then connect to COM10. if you dont deselect you will get PHONE FAILED ERRORS
On security tab send SPC 000000. (msg says phone accepts blah blah blah
Go to tab labeled “Other” and write prl. For Cricket EVDO, 6499(new service plan) and 38515 is recommended.
Go to NAM and enter MIN ex. 615-555-5593 (usually different from your actual phone# and MDN(your mobile number ex. 615-555-5551 and click write.
Goto “Memory” tab and click write under NV items, find the downloaded NV items you got from here
for example you must generate the NV items by inputing your MDN([email protected]). box opens telling you to save them as .txt and select them with cdma 2.7. (Thanks again to insanecain)
It should then say, 12 NV items were successfully written to phone.
Go to Main tab and click mode reset.
You can now close HWVS and CDMA WS and open cmd.exe on your computer.
if you have QPST open it on the com port 10 read your settings. under MIP mip2,,PPP(Um,AN...etc it should say [email protected] etc in the right columns....in the bottom box password may need to be written to phone, just type in cricket for both Um and An, cricket is the password.
Also select mobile ip+simple ip under MiP tab
select write to phone
Once phone reboots go to the market using WI-FI and download and install Autostart root required
Open the Voice Dialer on the phone and say “Open APNs” and click open.
Click on the Verizon and edit everything to match below:
Name - Cricket
APN internet
Proxy wap.mycricket.com:8080
Port 8080
Username [email protected]
Password cricket
Server wap.mycricket.com
MMSC http://mms.mycricket.com/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy wap.mycricket.com
MMS Port 8080
MCC 310
MNC 004
Authentication Type PAP or CHAP
APN type <Not set>
Now click the menu button and click Save.
Before starting the next step make sure you have the u2nl file in your this folder c:/android/tools and also that you have you autostart.sh file in this folder c:/
Now go to command prompt and type the following commands,
cd c:\android\tools
adb shell
mkdir /data/opt/
exit
adb remount
adb push c:\android\tools\u2nl /system/bin/u2nl
adb push c:\android\tools\autostart.sh /data/opt/autostart.sh
Now:
adb shell
chmod 0755 /system/bin/u2nl
chmod 0755 /data/opt/autostart.sh
adb reboot
Now, once your phone has rebooted, you should have working web, mms, app, gps, and all. If you don’t go back and check all the steps to insure you did everything exactly right.

you need to be more specific with wat u deleted?? which rom u ran? etc where did u get it flashed? most likey u went to a metro dealer, to get it flashed, METRO sent out a update a 3 weeks ago (7/06/2010) that DISABLED ALL Dealer added ESN's from Hoodini. so u may just be out of luck. i will search to see if thats been fixed or worked around.

Grr
This is a great! Thank you for the instructions!
I am having one problum tho, and its very annyoing!!
When i first turn on my fone everything works internet+MMS+GPS+TXT+CALLS everything!
then when i recive or send a text or call (Anything that has to use 1X i think) I loose Internet+MMS and GPS
the only way it comes back is if i restart my fone!
dose anyone have any ideas? did i do somthing wrong? Please help.
I have a idea i know its possible on some phones to switch it so texts use 3G insted of 1x. Could i switch that on my droid?
Oh and im running bugless beast 2.2
good tutorial im just stuck at the step its written a little unclear im a moto newb unfortunately
""if you have QPST open it on the com port 10 read your settings. under MIP mip2,,PPP(Um,AN...etc it should say [email protected] etc in the right columns....in the bottom box password may need to be written to phone, just type in cricket for both Um and An, cricket is the password.
Also select mobile ip+simple ip under MiP tab
select write to phone""
i have downloaded cdma 2.7, nothing was stated about qpst in the necessary tools but i downloaded that too afterwards, and its not clear where i should go at this point after the initial reboot. are these directions for cdma2.7 or qpst? help???
................... bump
Hello sorry in advanced for the newbie question. My Moto Droid is already flashed to cricket. If I wanted to manually install 2.2 would I have to start with all steps or just from the 2.2 install?

from my understanding, cdma networks calls and text dont go through data connections, so when u place a call it will switch only to bars and no 1x/3g.
MMS and web will only work when not connected to a call ( i think thats what your stating??) ive never had a problem with data connection not coming back to phone after a call.... hopefully i answered your questions? and gps shouldnt be bothered at all that may be a rom issue. try a few roms other that bugless beast thats basically a stock ROM look into lithium mod or Chevyno1

hello, lets see i believe this was originally the instructions to get the data working. so you needed QPST to enter in the passcode "cricket"....it just depends what rom you have. if you flash a rom and your data doesnt work then u will have to enter those settings in qpst. after entering those your data should work.

you should be fine with the NV items. after you flash 2.2 dial 611 (you may need to reflash PRL, and then from there i would give your phone about a 2minutes to see if any 1x/3g show up. if not commence with the instructions lol.

thanks for the reply, well i had all but given up on my droid dreams and i figured out on my own that they were QPST directions but were missing this important piece. QPST 2.7 WITH A OLDER BUILD LIKE 264 WILL NOT CONFIGURE THE DROID,IT GIVES AND ONLINE ERROR. YOU SHOULD USE AN UPDATED VERSION. I ENDED UP FINDING 2.7 BUILD 323.
Also. its unclear as to why in the adb commands we have
adb push c:\android\tools\autostart.sh /data/opt/autostart.sh
Now:
adb shell
it may be obvious to some but if Now: is an actual command it wouldnt work. so im assuming it isnt, and pretty much adb after that point is irreconcilable.
no matter what the droid never left the verizon network needless to say, and i havent recieved any input as to where i could have gone wrong, everything else was flawless up until the Now: part basically then i had to piece together adb. even tried without the now part and didnt succeed.
i did this and everything works. only problems is it 1x all the time; how to i get 3g?

edit mode
enter 000000 ok
goto advanced
scroll to RTSP proxy address and HTTP PD proxy address and change them to 0.0.0.0
hit back twice and now try youtube it should work!

Minus the rom would this procedure be pretty much the same on say a Motorola Droid X?

Kind of. Motorola is a little different, The big differences are the APNs would have to be imported differently and You would have to flash NV items to get 3G. Oh and you have to use HW_VSP to get it in to cdma ws or qpst. But it is basically the same. I know how to do droid X's of you need help
I am getting a droid 2 global so I will make a tutorial for Motorola devices next.
as as far as HTC devices running Sense this will be pretty much the same.
Hope this helps
You wouldnt have the settings for pocket communications would you. I know they merged with cricket but service still remains pocket for the time being. Thanx in advance.

Very nice how to thread.
Thanks trying your tutorial now. I noticed that the links for anycut and apn backup are the same. Will let u know if it works
Ok I followed your instructions to the letter and I cant get any internet... My 3g icon will flash for a second and that is it...
any help?
i get an error box after i do everything, box is titled NV write errors, under nv item it says "NV_UE_IMEI_I" and uder status it says "NV_READONLY_S" i dial *228 and it goes to cricket but doesnt activate phone, do i need to call CS to add esn change? everything seemed smooth until then. help will be appreciated.
Isn't the Cricket, MCC=310 and MNC=16? Since you said you work at Cricket.
i do everything as instructed, 3g is there, dial 611 and cricket answers, but the stupid stores cant activate it for me, saying they need a programing code, what are they talking about, can someone please guide me how to activate this thing? thanks

The error is normal. Happens to me but no problem. You need to do an ESN change.
Hey if I was the op I would make clear where the min/msid goes..that is what tripped me up Got it working now though thanks for the tutorial
OK, so i complete to step 16. However, after writing to the phone, it never reboots. Any suggestions? Am i supposed to manually reboot?
So I need to have already signed up with cricket to go through this tutorial? There are several parts in the instructions where you have to put your cricket phone number, so I assume you must have signed up with cricket first, how exactly do I do this? I have to give them my MSL number or something?
Also, will these instructions work using one of the ROMS found here (apparently I can't post links until I've made 8 posts, I'm speaking of some ROMS cooked up ztahoez) ?
Finally, can I use pay-go (as in the pay per day you use plan) with this flashing method?
Thanks for any answers.
Hey If I do this can i flash another cusotm rom and will it still be flashed to Cricket?

i mean yes it will be flashed to cricket because your PRL is for cricket. so essentially yes. but all the web, apps, makret, etc wont be if you flash to a new rom.
There are ways around that tho(that thread will get ya going)

make sure you have a SENSE rom so they can do there stupid thing with the ##codes# otherwise yes just go in an say you wanna do a ESN swap. they will say ok is the phone flashed? then they will ask ARE YOU SURE..you did it so you know it is.
why cant i get the cricket market?
phone works great. no probs except i cant get the cricket market place icon. and thus cannot get the cricket store, back-up, web, etc...
Could this be a flash problem?
i *228 and it says programming successful. *22808 does not work.
right now im running myns warm twopointtwo. unrEVOked3.

Everything else works fine.

I have yet to find a comprehensive, easy to understand guide to flashing the HTC Evo to Cricket. I have learned this from trial and error. If there is a good guide out there then please post it. Lets Begin
Things You Will Need:
1) Htc Evo 4g
2) Root www.unrevoked.com
3) Crickets $55 Android Plan
4) A Windows pc (x86 or x64)
5) HTC Diagnostic Drivers(attached)
6) Cricket Nation Wide PRL(Attached latest as of 3/21/2011)
7) CDMA Workshop http://www.cdma-ware.com/workshop.html (the Demo Is all You Need)
6) QPST 2.7_355 http://www.mediafire.com/?giv1y4qd02k6y63
7) MSL Reader (Its in the market)
8) You must be smarter than the average bear
The first step is to root the phone. I recommend unrevoked.com
One more thing: I highly recommend using that genius deathsled's cricket rom located here-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784776
HOWEVER Any rom will work to an extent. I will post a mms fix for gingerbread roms as well
Now for the guide
1) Call cricket and set up the plan, have them program the phone into their system(Make sure to mention that you have a flashed phone) and get your MIN/MDN numbers from them you will need them. Then Install msl reader to get your msl. Write it down
2) Unzip the drivers to your desktop.
3) Plug the phone into your computer(select charge only) and dial ##DIAG# and DM Command Service should come up on the phone. Your computer will try and locate the HTC Diag drivers and fail. Install them manually through device manager.
4)Install QPST. After you are done open QPST Configuration. Click add port and select the one that says surf.
5) Leave qpst open and extract the CDMA Workshop Demo to your desktop. Open CDMA Workshop.
6) On the COM Settings part select your phones port and set the Baud Rate to USB.
7) Click Connect, then Read. When prompted enter your msl
8) Click the “security” tab under SPC type in your MSL code and click SPC> Send It should say Phone unlocked
9) Then replace your MSL code with all zeros 000000 and click SPC>Write
10) Restart The Phone
11) Dial ##DIAG# once more
12) Open QPST Configuration, make sure your phone is still listed, then Click Start clients> Service Programing
13) In QPST Click "read from phone" then click the "CDMA" tab
14) I have also included a qpst file open it through qpst now
15) Go through all of the tabs and add your number wherever you see all 9s
16) On the cdma tab where it says imsi_s put your MIN
17) Then go to the roam tab and under preferred roaming load the prl(extract it to desktop)
18) Click write to phone
19) Install APN Backup Restore after phone reboots from market
20) Create a new text document and paste this to it (make sure to edit it with your number!)
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<apns count="1">
<apn name="CDMA-MMS" numeric="46605" mcc="466" mnc="05" apn="mms" user="your10digit#[email protected]" server="NA" password="cricket" proxy="wap.mycricket.com" port="8080" mmsproxy="null" mmsport="null" mmsprotocol="null" mmsc="http://mms.mycricket.com/mycricket/mms.php" type="mms" />
</apns>
Rename the file to apn.xml
21) Open apn backup restore, click backup apn , the put apn.xml into the APN Backup Restore folder and restore it. Reboot
22) Your done! Now enjoy your new cricket phone!

*GINGERBREAD FIX*
1) Using root explorer, go to /system/app and delete mms.apk, then put the included mms.apk into /system/app then open and install it.
2) Using root explorer delete EVERYTHING located in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ then put the telephony.db file provided in that directory.
3) Reboot
4) Profit
*UPDATE*
If the above method doesn't work try the following in conjunction with the above.
1)Flash attached cricket_eris_web_mms_v10.zip
2) Install autostart from market
3) Reboot and select yes at the su prompt at startup
Let me know if that works. If not I will flash back to CM7 and do more experimenting.

if your on the android plan u shouldnt need autostart cuz that was to direct web access through a proxy to make it work

[Q] QCN Files to test?

Hi peeps,
you might have seen that i only have about 10 posts, i used to be a "only in need to download a ROM user sometimes"
I've had several devices (iMate SP5, HTC Diamond, HTC Touch Pro 2 [Even to native android])without any problems... Until now... My Sensation...
As you might have seen my last post was regarding a Flash that seemed to have done something wrong and my device is in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode...
As i already surfed the web during almost a full day and night, i am just going to ask for it, cause i didn't found it on my own...
What's the plan?
As i am still able to use QPST, it offers me the possiblity to restore a QCN file...
problem is... i've found none on the internet...
I've seen a post here stating that someone could provide one, but was a bit afraid cause it has the EMEI etc right hardcoded in it...
I can promise this in return of getting a QCN file:
You get my official address + phone number (spare phone in use atm) prior to get in touch with eachother whenever you want (GMT+1 zone here, want to be able to still sleep a bit )
What will i try to do:
I am going to figure out, together with the person who provided me the QCN file, which info is from the phone itself that dumped the file, where can i retrieve that info (is it on the box, or do i need to take notes promptly to flashing before it bricks and so on...)
What will i offer afterwards:
Apart from a smile on my face cause my phone will work once again (still got 1.5 years of warranty, so if it fails, i still be able to send it to HTC support), this might be the sollution that is needed to get bricked phones back towards a heartbeat... If we have a success, we will make history in Android Phone Recovery! This might provide XDA with a tool to get even bricked phones back, towards a basic ROM or so... very small and fast to flash, so there is a way to get rid of bricked phones...
I will write a manual on how to do it, with credits to the peeps who've helped me out with info, files etc...
And prior to the manual, on a daily base a post here so you can all see what progress i am going trough...
Thanks in advance
Youry (this is my real name btw...)
The programs & Drivers
This post is for the people who are already in the "bricked phone" mode: QHSUSB_DLOAD mode named
In attachment you can find the QPST program and the needed drivers.
Greetings
This post is for those willing to help me out
First and for all, THANKS!!!
In attachment you can find every file i will be reffering to in the manual how to get the backup made.
HOW TO SETUP QPST FOR USE WITH YOUR PHONE (credits to fowenati)
disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
Make sure your phone is plugged in, has debugging ON for the whole time of this manual.
1. Temp Root yourself using whichever method you prefer (This seems to work great for lots of people)
2. Get your MSL using MSL Reader from the Market (free) OR Call Sprint to get your MSL OR Get your MSL using CDMA Workshop (which I will not go into as It is a different subject and not as easy as the aforementioned) (Official market page of MSL Reader)
3. Get QPST and install it (found in attachment)
Put your phone in diagnostic mode by punching in *#*#3424#*#* in the dialer through out the whole rest tutorial, if it goes out of diag mode, just put it back into it by going to Dailer and punching in *#*#3424#*#*
4. Download HTC Diag Drivers Both 32and 64 are in the zip (found in attachment)
5. Install the QPST Drivers for your system (32bit or 64bit)
- A. Go into Device manager (from control panel)
- B. Find HTC Diag or HTC Diag Modem (along those lines)
- C. Right Click it and select update driver
- D. Select Browse computer for driver software
- E. Browse to the folder containing the drivers your downloaded in step 4 and then select the folder for your Windows version (32/64, if you don't know go to my computer and select properties)
- F. Click Next, it will install your drivers
6. Once your drivers are installed your device should be recognized and read as HTC Diagnostic Interface, followed by the port it is located on. Exmaple: COM5.
7. Open "QPST Configuration" by Start>All Proggrams>QPST>QPST Configuration
- A. Select "Add New Port"
- B. Input whatever port your phone is connected to (eg. "COM5" as mine was, without the quotes) in both the port, and label boxes.
- C. DESELECT The "Show Serial and USB/QC Diagnostic Ports only"
- D. Click OK
8. You should see the new added port and its state as ENABLED, if it is there, continue
The phone is now ready to make the backup i need
HOW TO DUMP THE BACKUP
1. In the already opened QPST Configurator program you open the "Start Clients"-menu, and choose "SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD".
2. You will notice that it doesn't activate the correct port normally seen, so click the "Browse"-button in order to select the right port and press the "OK"-button.
3. Open the "Backup"-tab.
4. You will notice that the box of QCN File is empty, click the "Browse"-button, give the file a place and a name, in order to find it after it is done.
5. Press the "Start"-button
6. from here on you will contribute i guess, cause i am not in the possition to know what will happen...

I've used the info of TrevE a bit in order to find the thread wich said how to get a HTC in DIAG MODE connected to QPST...
All we need now is a QCN Dump file... So if anyone would like to help us out? It might help you out when you ever have a situation which is now stated as a bricked phone!
I'm even thinking about buying a second phone in order to do it myself... (and to have a smartphone which works, sold my backup a month ago, so i'm back to a non-touch, non-smartphone atm...)
are you sure it will work? sensation store files, data and partition in 3 chips, baseband chip, nand and emmc, i think QPST it's not enough... (or we need a newer QPST that support emmc phones too)
and actually revskills doesn't support "write" for our chipset
i think we should ask to guys working/near HTC, they can provide us leaked ROMs, with not recovery files?
If everyone is just asking if it will work and never tests it... we'll never know, i am waiting for a dump file so we can try it...

Yep that's what i need, a backup of a working phone, so i can see if it gets the phone back to life or not... afterwards if it worked, we can strip the file down to just hboot + CWM or so, so we can get it very fast done when this happens to a phone

btw, which sensation do you have, op? xe or regular? would it even matter at that level? mike (the revolution cook) compared partition dumps from xe and reg sensation here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
ill give this a go tonight if i can or if not ill do it on saturday its always good to know theres a way back from a brick. I would also try pm'ing someone like adamoutler to see if this might actually work just an idea

8. You will notice that the last number is added automatically this is done using the Luna Algo and is a checksum number.
9. Once you have typed your IMEI click on "Repair" in the IMEI section, once the repair is done your phone will auto reboot.

How To Upload ERI using Revskills
Manual Method / How This Works
The IMEI part is complex and I wont go into detail on that at all. If you dont have access to a windows machine, then I'm sorry but most of the avail tools that will allow you to repair IMEI is going to be Windows based and you can use a virtual machine. Not with my tool but others. This is mostly going to be focused on the ERI it self.
The ERI is binary file that is stored on the QCOM chipset, this is the primary file the "Radio" and the device use in order to determine certain functionality of the device.
This is stored as /nvm/eri_0 on the QCOM's EFS. You can use QPST EFS Explorer all though it will probably crash, or some other EFS explorer for Qualcomm chipset's.
I have uploaded the original eri_0 file to this forum. All you have to do is download it. User QPST or Bitpim, Revskills, and upload the file to /nvm/eri_0 you can leave it's permissions as 666 or chmod the permissions to 777 your choice the phone will read it either way.
The /nvm/eri_0 that is uploaded to this forum comes from a stock s3, although its the same ERI file Verizon has been using forever. Thats all this tool does. Simply fix's the IMEI and uploads a good eri file to the correct directory.
Questions and Answers
Q) Do I need to do anything special first like back up any part of my phone or anything ?
A) No, as long as you can enable diag port you can restore your IMEI, just look on the back of your device under the battery for your original IMEI. I STILL ADVISE YOU TO BACK UP using this method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852255
Q) Can this change IMEI?
A) Its purpose is not to change IMEI doing so is illegal and any talk about changing the IMEI will be reported and you may be banned. I advise against it as it could cause unknown issues.
Q) Can you share how this works.
A) No, sorry my position, my family and my job comes first and this would put me in a bad position.
Q) Can you just tell me in pm.
A) No so dont bother asking.
Q) My phones says Roaming and show roaming icon will this fix it ?
A) Yes this should be able to fix that issue, it does that by uploading the ERI back to the QCOM chipset.
Q) Should I / Do I have to donate ?
A) No, you don't need to donate, and I don't want you to fell you need to. Your donation could go to something else EFF, Adam Outler, XDA, Poor kids in any country, some other foundation. If you feel you would like to donate to me you can, I wont stop you and I wont ask you to.

Have to make sure it works as intended lol. I'm not to worried as I know I can restore from it.

edit: I looked into the app, and you have problem with kernelbase.dll
Ok one sec ill recompile again, one reason i really hate C# haha i think i know what it is
Please re-download should be v2. I forgot to compile a dll with it, so should work now.
sweet dude...yea looks like a faulty dll. Nice program though...I deleted my esn/meid/iemi to see if I could restore earlier today and figured out how but one program would save a lot of steps. Many thanks.
Edit: works!!

We sure its just a graphical glitch?
Sorry if this is a stupid question. Flame me if you must.
Is it possible to port this to another device or edit to make it compatible. I personally don't need it, but anyone with a lost imei would find it immensely useful. As you can see from my sig I have an att galaxy s2 skyrocket. Thanks for your time.
In case you were wondering this thread showed up in the unread list when I opened the xda app

Mike on XDA,
It's possible but it would have to be written for that device, meaning I would have to have test device or some way to check stuff.
Damn, this is legit man. Thanks so much for making this tool. I have yet to lose mine, but I'm sure it'll happen at some point.
Much appreciated, booted up just fine on win8 rtm. This is the stuff legends are made of haha.
