Hello guys, i've searched the forums but could not find a definite answer, i would like to know if there's anyone here who can help me flash my wife's phone to Metro PCS, i know there's a lot of places where they can do it but they charge way too much, i was wondering if anyone here has come up with a way to do this easier and cheaper, i know i can go to my local store and pay them to do it but i wouldn't be able to use text or data services, i know there's a way to flash the sprint phones to work fully on the Metro Pcs network, if anyone has any knowledge or can point me in the right direction i will really appreciate it.
Thanks Guys,
Cheers,
Walter

I'm new here and I'm hoping someone will be able to shed some light to my question. I have sidekick Lx at the moment, and I've been looking for a way to use my sidekick data plan to work on my unlocked Htc P4351? I've searched for a lotta hours and i can't seem to get any answers. If there are anyone here who could help me out, I'd greatly appreciate that. I didn't want to have to change my sidekick data plan because I'm only paying $19.99/mo.
how do you expect to use a phone's dataplan with another phone? you wanna switch the sim cards? if so, and if the P4351 is unlocked, it shouldn't be a problem to just switch sim cards and have it work.
Yes, i want to switch the sim card from the sidekick and put it on the p4351 and be able to go on the net. I have tried to mess around with the settings, i found on the tmobile website but nothing seems to work, unless i'm doing something wrong.
I just purchased an unlocked lg eve off of ebay and the biggest problem i am having is setting the apn for at&t 3g. At&t cant even help me! Does anyone happen to know what i should set it to for 3g access? Help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Im new to this kind of stuff and have no clue what im doing. I found where I put the APN settings in at but dont know where to get them. Im not even sure if it is the APN setting that I need. I have edge but the LG EVE is suposed to have 3G on AT&T.
I've used the search tool. I've hit up Google. All I'm finding is: "No. There is no way to root this phone." I was just wondering if any of ya'll have found a way to root this phone? I talked my mother into getting one with the intention of saving her some money on her wireless card by tethering. I tether with my CDMA Hero and it works great. If there is no way, we will have to take the Galaxy S back and she is already in love with the phone. I'm a Cellular South customer if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance guys.
I want to know if the Sanyo Juno can be used as a donor phone when flashing to Shift to Boost Mobile? Or does it HAVE to be an Incognito or Rant? I thought it only had to be 3g. The only reason im asking is because on the back of my Juno it says QUALCOMM 3G CDMA. Unsure exactly what that means but I always assumed my phone was 3g
Also instead of creating another topic, what i've been hearing is that Flashing my Phone to boost is a much harder Process then if I were to flash it to Metro PCS or Cricket.
Personally I'd rather have Boost since that's what I like, But what about the performance if I were to Flash to either Metro, Virgin, Cricket or even Straight Talk? Do any of the other carriers have a clear advantage over Boost? And I dont mean their network in general but more along the lines if I were to have an EVO Shift Flashed to anyone of them. Which is the best performing network to Have on EVO shift?
Just throwing this out there. I don't know where your at as far as Flashing the device. Whether you want to do it yourself, or don't care if someone else does it. I know around here where I live there are several BOOST Mobile places that will Flash the device over to BOOST for you. Fully functioning with MMS, SMS, Data, and calling features. IDK what they charge, or if they do mail order. But I'm sure if you check there should be someplace near you that will do it for you.
I just recently came back from San Antonio so I know what you mean. There is probably a phone place on every single corner that will flash your phone for you. And cheap too. Like 20-30 dollars. But right now i'm in Ashtabula Ohio. Which is basically Bumblefuck.. I wouldnt mind paying someone else to flash it but people really try to charge something ridiculous like 70-150 dollars depending on if I need a donor phone or not. That's honestly the only reason why i'm tryna figure this **** out myself because I feel that price is a rip off. IDK though, I might try cricket instead because i'm hearing that's much much easier to flash too
Have you checked HERE? You may be able to get better info, or leads.
Yeah a couple people directed me there. I read the whole thread. But it seems to me it's more about helping the original poster get his MMS and Voicemail working on his phone that's already flashed to Boost mobile. Doesn't really explain how I can go about Flashing myself.
This guide Here explains how to flash to boost. I followed it pretty good all the way to the point where I had to flip and change my esn/meid.. That's where it got confusing and I stopped as I didnt want to damage my phone.
And most of the guides I find are nearly a year old or so. So they all say that the only phones that can be used as donor phones are either the Incognito or The Rant. Meaning for me to use Boost I would have to buy either one. Which brings me back to my original question of Is the Juno capable of being a donor phone as well?
That I don't know. But I know there's a thread on how to put the OG EVO4G on Boost. It gets a lot more traffic than the Shift one. Maybe someone can point you in the right direction there. Also a quick search came up with THIS, and THIS THREAD.
Hi I'm noob to this site and I don't know anything about modifiying a phone so I need some help I bought a Korean samsung galaxy s3 shv-210l
I have service with red pocket but I only get data on G no 3G i don't know how to get it to get 3G or to show the calling numbers and have a problem with texting too I don't know if my settings are incorrect or is there anything else I need to do I was thinking may be if I root the phone than I may have better luck but I have no clue how to do that either so if any body have some sugestions I will really appreciate it very much.
Hello friend,
I just like you found my self with the same issue. I bought my phone over ebay and I'm pretty sure they seller knew that the phone was defective. At any rate I've read 8 similar cases in the internet about our phone not being able to connect to 3G, I went overseas and it was even worse it wouldnt even register in the networks.
from what I understand its a defect, and you like I are unlucky enough to have it. If you can return your phone I would recommend you do it, as others here have no issues with theirs. If you do happen to find a solution pls post it here I will spread it around to those affected. I no longer have the handset lost it in a trip and bought a note 2.
