Depends on how you flash the phone over to Metro PCS. From what I'm lead to understand from reading.

I was thinking of taking it to them n have them flash it

You'll have to ask them when they flash it for you. Wasn't aware they were doing the flashing again.

I take it you did a factory reset?
there are a ton of ways to fix this, but you should take this opportunity to flash a new ROM and upgrade to gb. Follow fbis251's GB starter pack and flash Valhalla, icbinb ki1, or audiophile. Then try again. keep your Tmobile Sim card in while you Odin. if you are still getting the same problem...I can walk you through the long way

Yeah man I did a reset and odin already it didn't work I call tmobile I regret calling they don't know ****. All I know is that I think we have to set up the tmobile network manually tell how man I'm a quick learner.

Sounds like the radios got messed up because of a possible bad flash. Try re-downloading Tweakstock v1.4.zip and reflash in CWM. If that doesn't work, ODIN back to stock and then install Tweakstock. That's my best guess.

Your radio probably screwup. You need to Odin the factory stock image and the PIT file. Download PIT file and factory image from here, then ODIN to your phone.

Another thing I can think of is make sure 4G is working in your area. If that doesn't resolve the issue then give Verizon tech support a call and they can reset your phone ID on their side. (This is same as when you bought your phone and tried to register and it's not working, but they can reset and it should work after that) unless you have hardware issue.

If you still can't get it to work Odin back to original stock and take it in to the Verizon store and play dumb. It may be a little dishonest but it's worth not having a phone with no ability to call, text, or use data.

Haha, try flashing the actual radio itself-if you look somewhere they have it as a separate file, in the same thread with the stock stuff. My radio has also mysteriously gone kaput before and that's always what fixes it.

That's one thing I didn't try.. But we called for a replacement, and they sent him a brand new moto droid 4 on accident, and there letting him keep it.. He's happy. Ide sol rather have a charge, but the droid 4 is by far in my opinion the best phone moto has ever released

What about the maxx? It's basically the same besides no keyboard, larger amoled screen, and about double the battery.

You need to be running a rom that lets you put the phone into "modem" mode so you can reprogram the PRLs and what not.
I used this guide

Nvrmind...I didn't have the drivers....but now I had it flashed over to cricket but all I have is talk and text. No data at all. I was supposed to get a new number from cricket but when I call someone its my sprint number...I know it needs to be programmed, but what would cause it not to program? Would it be that I flashed a different radio awhile back ago? He said the prl was the newest...are the prl and radio be the same thing?

ok so finally I have my phone flashed to cricket, what all can I do and not do? are root, recovery, roms, scripts all still in play? Im assuming since im with cricket now that radios don't work...am i on the right track?

Maybe people who can answer are just a little busy, just saying...
Or maybe people just have no idea how to help you because you're the only one who is having safestrap issues, if you can't get help here I suggest trying to use Google to attempt to find someone who is having the same issue.
I would assume being out of space would give you problems.
