Anyone on metropcs with evo shift?
whats your set up like,
what rom works well with a metropcs shift?
also any problems with mms web, howd you go from fixing the problem qpst?
currently have a 2.2 rooted metro shift, was on GB before root with no mms tried fixing using bloodykiller86 method and it was a no go..
only talk txt web.
Try THIS THREAD see if it helps you with what you need.
I have actually paid to get my esn added to metros database (this is the easiest way otherwise you will encounter indefinite adverse opinions and it is plain annoying)....after u get your esn added to metro by either a metro rep or an authorized person or whatever, i followed blodykillersk' method and worked like a charm.....i am running gingerbread 2.3.3 and fully rooted .....
......
my mms is not working! I thought it was but apparently not........Ill see if I can figure this out.......
Update PRL / Profile see if that helps.

I got mine fixed. I'm gonna see if the guy that helped me will let me work on a .zip that you flash to your phone to get it to work. I tried everything too, but nothing worked. Do not do anything like use apn backup or anything like that. Let me just check with him to see if we can get a completely working zip. The one he gave me had to be tweeked a few times, so he just needs to work a few bugs.

Hey, Fdx, I appreciated all the effort you and everyone else put into trying to get it to work. You honestly have to make so many changes to so many different things that unless you had metro to test out the tweets, there's no way you would figure it out. I'm just glad we finally got it working and we can help everyone else with this ongoing issue.

Here is the STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE:
You need to have your eVo Rooted.. Like always I am not responsible for anything that you do to your phone. Period.
Big thanks to MIUI Dev Team, Bloody, Token, Triton, Ztahoez and anybody I am forgetting.
This will get Cricket or Metro working on MIUI or other ASOP ROMS.
If you want MIUI to work on Cricket or Metro follow these instructions. You can also use these same method for any ASOP ROM.
I use cricket and I am not on Metro so I cannot confirm this method works for Metro, but it definitely should.
CRICKET USERS
Step 1) First you need to change APN using APN BACK UP & RESTORE .. Install Apn backup and restore. Open Apn backup then delete Apns. Then restore the cricket.xml or metro file you saved.
Step 2) Download Bloody's ASOP mms web script zip .. Flash it from recovery. If you did it right you will notice mms app is now missing. But don't worry it will be replaced in the next step by a different one.
Step 3) Flash Token's cricket eris mms zip from recovery.. and waaallllllaaaahhhh
You will end up losing the original MIUI mms app but your phone will now have mms capabilities.
If you like my post, please be sure to thank me.

No offense to the poster this is great stuff just IMO I would have posted links so that others can give feedback and confirm or deny whether this works which I am sure it does.
Why are we left in the dark here. Can you post links to test to see if its working?
Roger!!!!!!!! sup yo, im sure it works but the OP I guess doesnt want to take the time to link the files nor does myself as I profit from this kinda stuff and I dont want the world to know. Also, everyone chimed in but no one posted links I wonder if they profit too.
what do u mean that when you flash my zip the mms.apk is missing....it shouldnt be atleast
It deletes the miui app .. so in order for it to work right I flash the cricket Eris mms zip. It replaces the missing apk.

you know what i think i get what your saying now lol but see mines does delete the mms.apk from MIUI but it replaces it with another one. and token419's cricket zip for the eris just loads the correct APN along with stuff for people who are not on the android plan. So i can actually make a AOSP fix for you guys now since i know whats going on lol

Hey Bloody, I know you said that the MIUI mms was closed source, but if you could get that one to work... that would be awesome. I really like that mms app.. I hope you like the write up and if you think I can improve anything here .. lemmeno
oddly enough i have a flashed evo to metro and i can flash any rom and my mms/web always stays i have never had to reflash the mms pack and i just put miui on

Speaking of Sense Roms, it has been said that the 3.70 Roms are pretty Cricket-friendly... No need to replace the MMS.apk.
BTW, thanks for the write-up and links. I have been wanting to try the VaelPak Rom, and this should make it possible.
Yea for sense roms.. all you change is the default.XML using root explorer then flash Eris zip .. and everything works on your eVo. It does not change the mms app.. it only gets your mms to work.

This link will take you to the STOCK full NOT ROOTED update to gingerbread. Seems to contain new boot, hboot, radio AND wimax. Do not flash until a dev says its rooted or you will probably lose root and be screwed until someone roots the files as installed, considering the size of the shift community, that might take a LONG time..
http://www.multiupload.com/QWJH3N3YEE
Good luck to you all.
BIG EDIT: Got tired of waiting and tried to flash the file. Says error 7, so its probably corrupted. Dont waste you time!
Nice
BTW, I thought HTC wasn't locking their devices no more

Im no expert on figuring out if youll lose root, but its not something you should risk in my opinion.
Nice Quicker the Devs get it the better.

This is bad news for me.. I've been putting off sending in my Shift for a replacement. I'm worried if i do now it will be shipped with Gingerbread and won't be able to root. Luckily my issue isn't any thing too major.

Anyone else have luck downloading it? I've tried 5 times and keeps getting corrupted.

I have an Epic, and my wife has the Evo Shift. The sprint tower in our area recently got struck by lightning, and in turn dropped our signal from all bars to no bars. Sprint says it'll be a few days at least for a fix.
What I'm wondering is what the accepted verizon PRL is for use on the Evo Shift. I just pushed a modded verizon PRL to my Epic, which the 'modder' has termed 00001. It was essentially a modding of the most recent verizon PRL in a way so that it won't show up as roaming to the phone, eliminating the extra steps to make a call and such. Of course, sprint still sees it as roaming. Can this PRL be safely used on the Evo Shift, or is there a more commonly used and accepted PRL version? We desperately need tower coverage for the interim. Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks.
P.S. Your CM7 nightlies on the Evo Shift rock! That's what I'm running on the wife's phone...
Firstly I'm sure you know you will have to restore a sense rom or flash one to change the prl,there is another way using qpst but not recommended cuz it can screw your phone up. Any way go here to this thread over in the hero forums and get in touch with oostah or Bierce they are pretty good at what you want to pursue.

Thanks. I'll look over at the hero forums. But I was planning on using the QPST method, so I'll be looking over there with that method in mind. I've used it many times in the past with no issues.
Ok, I tried the sense prl update the other day. I tried every 2.1 sense I could find to do this. On each one I would type ##775 and when I would press the last #, it wouldn't do anything. The dialer would clear itself ready to start over again. I tried mikmik, twisted, etc. I tried to find an original froyo rom but the links to one in the wiki are dead. Anyone suggest a good rom to use or one that works for you? Link me please. Also, if the roms I've tried have worked for you, suggest what may be wrong. I tried the original mikmiks and the wouldn't even load on my shift. Never got past the splash. I really do not want to unroot. Thanks guys!

You need an older version of epst.apk.
I had to do this before and it works, but you need root explorer or adb to push it on the shift. The epst needs to be version 2.1 I believe. I can't attach from this app but a quick Google will come up with it.

First of all I would like to say thanks to the Cyanogenmod Dev Team for developing CM7 & CM9, thanks to the Epic CM7/CM9 Dev team for porting CM7 & CM9 to the epic, thanks to JerryScript for helping me find the necessary framework.jar changes, thanks to the Moto Triumph CM9 team for creating the needed file change, and thanks to Shinydude100 for writing the guide on how to port the Epic to Virgin Mobile.
This fix is for the Epic CM9 port, found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473012
Here is the thread describing porting the Epic to Virgin Mobile:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1404270
Attached to the bottom of this page is an CWM updater.zip for CM9, flash this after every CM9 update you install. If you do a wipe and restore your data flash this fix AFTER you restore your data as the fix deletes the telephony.db file from the data partition, which stores the APN values. This causes your phone to read the apns-conf.xml and write the correct Virgin Mobile values to the telephony.db on the next boot up.
Please report if you have any issues related to MMS or Virgin Mobile stuff. However if they are bugs related to the roms please post in the rom specific thread.

If this fix helps you please drop me a thanks and if you can spare a few bucks please donate to the Epic CM9 developer fund: http://epiccm.blogspot.com/p/about-epic-cm.html
Also people please stop messaging asking will I fix this rom or that rom for you. No I will not! I only use CM9 and dont care about other roms. If you want MMS working on those roms figure out how to fix it yourself. You might learn something in the process.
First! This is awesome.

No problem. Glad its working for all you guys. Tomorrow I plan on putting together a flashable zip that should work with all the nightlies.
One question, did you solve the Dialer Code (ie. ##DATA#) issue that was found on the original Epic 4G CM ROMS?...to my knowledge this was still a no-go...
I wouldn't consider that a bug. More like just a missing feature. Plus one can still dial *#*#data#*#* to view data settings, just can't edit them. But just install clean gb, edit your settings, and flash to a cm rom. Problem solved.
Anyways I made no changers to either of these roms other than edit a couple Java and XML files.

OP, you may want to post a flashable mod, rather than a full ROM, to better keep up with changes upstream. The wholesale kang (beneath your changes) seems a bit unorthodox to me.

I agree. I plan on doing that for future updates. Also it would seem that for most updates there wont be any changes to the framework.jar and build.prop. And the apns-conf.xml will never change. Thought for the initial release would have a whole rom for people just to make things easy. Also I need to figure out how to make flashable zips
Also not trying to take credit for these roms. Hopefully people realize that in the OP.

There's really nothing to flashable zips - just need updater-binary and updater-script. For the script, study other examples.

Sorry can't help you, dont know anything about MetroPCS. My best advice would be to loot at a MetroPCS rom that has data working for another device and compare the files. Also make sure you programmed the epic with all of the correct settings.

I use to have my epic on a metro PCS rom. That was my company before i switched to Virgin Mobile.
The speeds aren't 3g, capped at 1x. And the battery drain for its outdated methods aren't worth having on your epic.
The "data" web/mms was with the use of scripts, and ip tables. It's a dead end, and there's a thread on flashing to alternative carriers for the epic, it has all the info i've known about MetroPCS on the Epic, as well as what another user knew. It's a BIG hassle to get it going on a stock rom, imagine trying to get it working on CM9?
You may be able to get it working, but if you do (whatever year that may be) it won't be worth it in the end because it'll cap at 1x speed, and it won't be worth all your effort in the end.
Thanks, but got it to working on cm9 alpha 3. Apparently the alternative carrier didn't work on cm9 alpha 0. I have internet working on stock rom and I know what you mean about the data speeds but only 3 carriers work where I live, at&t, verizon, and metro pcs. I would switch to virgin but I don't get service where I live. Thanks I appreciate the look out.
Now just gotta find out how to get mms working lol.

Fix for CM9 alpha 4 is up. If you download please post how it works for you and hit the thanks button.
Also I think I am not going to support CM7, because as CM9 gets better and better less people will use CM7. However if you guys want I can post one last CM7 build for Virgin with the current nightly. Let me know.
What is your latest nighlty for CM7? I would use CM9 but Groove IP doesn't seem to work with ICS.
I'm sorry if this has already been posted but I have searched for a few days for this and can't find it. I lost my stock rom for the Shift and was hoping if someone would post the stock APN's please. I'm using Decks CM9 and the MMS isn't working, I've tried the fixes and reflashing but it still won't work correctly. Thanks

See if one of the links I've attached below can help you. If not, you may want to run the 2.2 RUU. Then just start the whole process over. It's fairly simple to Re-root 2.2 .
