[MetroPCS] flash rip-off - General Topics

<<PLEASE NOTE>>​ I am NOT endorsing this company.​I just saw this ridiculousness on another forum (where I reported it as SPAM) and wanted to pass it on. These prices are outrageously high (Ex: $100 to flash a VZ iPhone4 and of course no data/mms) and I'm hoping other people who are trying to flash over to Metro aren't getting duped by these types of companies:
Below is a link (sorry if you have to cut and paste it) to phones they have in their inventory. they are already flashed to MetroPCS and are for sale (for waaay too much money)>> Go ahead and click the "FLASH" tab towards the top of the screen to see their prices for flashing a phone over to Metro

Also, I hope this sort of posting doesn't violate forum rules. I'm really just trying to help others who don't know any better.

If they're on XDA chances are, they know how to flash a phone.

I can understand why you would make that assumption. However, as you are aware, in the past 4 or 5 years, a few things have changed:
1) the number of Android users has greatly increased
2) the number of MetroPCS users has greatly increased and, along with that, the number of novice users wanting to flash high-end devices onto the mpcs network
3) XDA has gained many new/novice members (of which I am one)
4) doing a simple google search for "flashing X-phone to metropcs" will yield a number of XDA threads (netscape navigator used to provide a free search engine, but i haven't used it in many years)
For those reasons, I felt it was appropriate to post the thread. If a mod finds this thread unacceptable/simple/useless/etc.. I will surely understand if they decide to delete/lock it. No hard feelings.

A few things I found...

Decided to take a crack (lol pun intended ) at a couple of things the other night, and stumbled across something interesting - HTC's internal bidding system.
And what I've found are parts that they are buying for whatever models of phones they're working on/thinking about working on. I saw parts for an HTC Touch Pro from 2005, parts from the HTC Magic from 2006, etc.. Well, I found parts, as of the other day, for the 'HTC Incredible', so, they must be working on it.
Also, I found reference to xda-developers.com inside of an actual bidding-slip for reference to the models that they had listed - I thought that was pretty damn cool.
I've highlighted different model names and such, and the reasoning I pointed out the Bahamas and the Memphis are so you can see that the models are not always only listed on the right-side of the screen, too.
Here are some screenshots for you all:

Wow, nice one! This could be really useful for us here at XDA.
You "found"? How about you share the account?

Found...well I didn't want to come right out and say that I brute forced it once I found a valid login.
How about I share the account?
How about you share me an rma account with cdma access and I will

Just wanted to bring this thread back up, because now the HTC Incredible is official, and is being released on Verizon.
I wonder what phones I could find info. on if I were to look now?
Just found some more models to wonder about.

Doubt about bootloader

Hello,
I'm interested in the Sensation, but i've readed the problem about the bootloader. My question is: do you think we will have an unlocked one? (official or not)
The custom recovery has saved me a lot of times
And how much time do you expect? (1 month, 1 year,2,never?) [i know it's a difficult question]
Did you even read the headlines of the other topics in here???

We could answer but unless we have an insider at HTC leaking info or are a developer it would all be purely speculation. You'd have a better chance at guessing how many grains of salt are in a shaker accurately than guessing when they will have it done.

Yes, but there are one saying that they have said that they will unlick it. Another saying the first one is a fake and another one with intructions about flashing one ROM using clockmodwork, but clockmodwirk uses a custom boot (i think). So i really didn't understand it.
It's more easy when you have been following the news for a while than just arrive
Sorry for the inconvenients
HTC have not made any statements on which current devices, if any, will get their bootloaders unlocked, so we don't know.

What is going on? And what in the
hell do I do about this?!?!?!?!
I already own "Smart Keyboard Pro.apk"
but I want to purchase it to support the
developer of this awesome app.
I have always made purchases from the phone. The web purchase and install of apps has never worked right for me. Have you tried from your actual phone?

Please keep all question/help based thrwads in the Q&A section. Thank you.

I hate to say this but no one that has any idea what they doing to begin with would trust that. There are many so called places like that over the internet. Just do your research and you will be fine.

ok enough of this. This thread has runs its course. Dont believe everything you read on the internet.

Hello...World?

Just wanted to take a second and introduce myself... to myself??? I made the transition to android last week after packing an iOS for the past few years even though I really wanted to get android so that I could design/implement/build/deploy my own stuff directly to the phone without having to jump through apple shaped hoops. My background is .net/delphi (daily) and java (every so often) so I figured I should be able to hit the ground running. However, before I start doing anything I wanted to run a few things by you all just to make sure I have read and understood everything as I should have.
I just got my AT&T GS4 and have verified using *#1234 that my firmware version is indeed the latest crappy "MF3" type, and as such I am left with two options (1) Root my phone without "loki-doki" ( i.e. the only way to revert changes/bad ROMs ) and pray or (2) dont...
I've seen a few posts of people confirming the root process works via the SD card, but then what? Are there any ROMs that are stable enough that you would recommend to someone who absolutely can not afford to brick their phone?
Any helpful advice will be greatly appreciated as I'm looking forward to start contributing to the cause as soon as possible.
thanks,
xda_n
