I would like to know that too
If you really want it on verizon you could ask an authorized verizon retailer to basically do this same thing for you. they love signing people up this way as they get to pocket the normal phone subsidy ($250 on the evo).
does 3g work?
metro 3g...
doesnt metro pcs use sprint towers?

Well you can pretty much get Verizon coverage from that other thread using Altell's towers. Too bad ping gets raised, but hell... way better signal and speedtests

Congratulations buddy!
Thanks a hell of a lot for giving us this how to guide. I really appreciate it
Just had 3 questions:
1) Are you getting 3g data in Atlanta or is it just Edge?
2) What plan did you sign up for at MetroPCS?
3) If you decide you don't like MetroPCS, how do you reverse this process back to Sprint service?
Thanks again for figuring this out

that probably depends on the tower coverage for the specific geographical location ...
i see the directions mention HTC Hero a few times. has anybody confirmed this works on the EVO?
Lol, I just spent all night trying to figure this out and you have made it very easy. Thanks. The Diag Drivers link doesn't work but I am sure we could find it somewhere else.
I do have one question. Do you still need to have a Metro PCS dealer add the ESN to their network?

Yes the ESN needs to be added to Metro's inventory. I had them add it and wallaahhh!
What works and what doesn't?
Can you list what works and what does not? I'm particularly curious about a stable 3G.

Right now talk, text and web are working. Still working on MMS. However I had great 3G reception here in Hotlanta.

I see... so for $50/mo (contract free) I can get the the same things that Sprint is offering me for $80/mo. When you minus the extra cost to buy the phone full retail $449 vs $199 on contract you actually saving about $570 over a two year period...
Hard choice
3G unstable
I have tried many configurations and no matter what I do, it seems that the "mobile network" connection is not stable. It will go out periodically and say "connection failed" or "turning on". Can you verify that you are not having this issue?
Also, this obviously does not bypass the WAP proxy which is used by Cricket. This means that other protocols, such as those used in navigation software and YouTube, are going to be blocked by the proxy server. Does anyone know a way around this?

google around for the droid eris cricket tutorial. that has the proper method to set it up, and it works on all other cdma htc android phones.
i believe it is posted on howardfourms under the cricket section.
I myself was wondering if it was the same because I flashed my evo to cricket the same way just off of flashing know how....going to try and see if the Eris method matches what needs to be done to the evo and will report back
ok im trying to use cdma but i cant get in diag mode i tried ##diag# and all the other ##diag combinations but cdma can connect to the port it just wont read or cant even send spc
You want ##PROGRAM (##7764726). SPC code is 000000. Make sure phone is in CDMA mode.
thnx for the help but it still wont read it or wont even send spc and yes i used 000000
Is there any kind of diagnostic mode/secret menu that I can access on this phone when in GSM mode? I promise I won't go in and do anything too stupid, I just want to see what I could do if I was smarter.
Camera key + power up then connect the USB to the computer. Go to device manager -> ports and you will see your D2G
Note to admins: Please move this thread to the thunderbolt section, as a new member I can only post in this section.
No one was sharing this technique, only trying to sell it.... I work in the cell phone/tech industry too (hxxp://benjamincomputerrepair.com) but if someone is competent enough to do it on their own, why not let them instead of being a jew?
note to admins: THIS IS NOT INSTRUCTIONS ON MEID CLONING, this specificly tells you to use noones meid except your own so this is not considered cloning by any means!!!!!
First of all, be sure to write value "01" to NV ITEM 0855 (I used DFS CDMATOOL) on both modems to enable QPST.)
Follow the directions in this post to change your MEID to the 9900 MEID that appears on your 9k modem (in nv_only mode, NOT the A100 meid in ruim mode). I used DFS's write button (after zeroing out and rebooting) instead of the "requestnvitemwrite meid 0x00#####" method. This post describes the A0XXXX MEID for some reason, but I used my 9900 meid.
POST#29426 in the Full Flash thunderbolt thread
How to Full Flash Htc Thunderbolt (Almost)!!!!!
You can skip the QXDM part and just use DFS to write 0 as your meid first, then write 9900 MEID (from your 9k modem) to the phone's normal diag port.
Also, DO NOT use any MEID other than one already found on your phone, or else it is a FEDERAL CRIME. No, im not joking, its call cloning and its VERY illegal.
amft from cricketusers.com said:
If you connect to the 9K diag port in CDMA WS 3.5+ and read you should get an actual MEID, this can then be used as the MEID on the account.
I would suggest doing this before the Data settings above.
The problem comes in because the Thunderbolt has two radios (hence the two ports) and the 1X and/or Voice radio only has an IMEI.
If you use QPST EFS Explorer you can add a directory named 'opensesamedoor' and it will unlock the NVM folder, this allows you to copy NV item 0 and 1943 to your desktop (drag & drop) and then delete them from the phone.
Use a hex editor to edit the two files changing any numbers or letters to zeros. After editing the files you can right click in the folder and add them back from the computer.
After a manual reboot, open QXDM and type 'RequestNvItemRead Meid' if it shows zeros type 'RequestNvItemWrite Meid 0x00XXXX' <-your Meid.
Reboot manually and your Thunderbolt should have it's actual Meid under the About Phone menu.....
I'm not responsible for any damages to your device.
I haven't tried the conversion method but I'm sure it works too.

Then dial *#*#4636#*#* and set your mode to CDMA/LTE EvDo auto (settings may vary for different roms/people), and under wireless and networks, your mode to CDMA Only and roaming to Automatic.
I'm using 45722.prl
You must set your APN's correctly! And to remove Verizon's restrictions on your APNs, I deleted "mandatoryapnlist.txt" in the EFS, I also deleted the LTE folders in my EFS.
BE SURE TO WRITE ALL SETTINGS TO BOTH MODEMS, and put your 9k modem in HDR mode, and the normal modem in CDMA IS2000 mode.
(use
cdmatool.com
DFS CDMATOOL and QPST EFS Browser (google "QPST 355 mediafire" without quotes to find a direct link to QPST (should be first result)
From there you follow the any normal flashing tutorial, except for the changes I mentioned above.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU F*CK YOUR SH*T UP, OK?! FOR ALL I KNOW YOU MIGHT BRICK YOUR SH*T BUT YOU BETTER NOT BLAME ME.
edit: I know your MEID may have appeared the same/similar before, but for some reason doing this stops your 9k meid from switching.....
Heres a little treat, MR2.5 MDM9K Patched for 3g, I patched it myself with a hex editor, but credits go to either some chinese dude who posted this fix or the guy who posted this in the thunderbolt thread at cricketusers.

I have been able to get 3g and calls and text working but call will drop and are breaking up. I was only able to get the nvm folder unlocked on the regular diagnostic modem with the a000 meid but not the 9k modem with the 9900 meid and was wanting to know if thats why my phone is acting the way it is.
I have tried using cdma auto prl and cdma- lte/evdo auto but still doesnt help. When I bought the phone it didn't come with a sim but had a few around and I have to have them in in order to make a call but the signal keeps droping in and out and very choppy. In order to unlock the 9k modem do I have to have the original sim? Any help would be awesome cause I am stumped right now and out of options
Help 3g

Thanks in advance.

Picked up a Verizon HTC One M8, tried to use x3jailbreak's Sprint HTC One M8 guide but had no luck getting it to work since the Verizon phone doesn't seem to expose ##DATA# and some other things needed. Reaching out to see if anyone has a guide on how to do it, happy to offer a $50 bounty myself for a guide with fully working 3G and MMS, etc..
It can be easily flashed to any carrier.. All you need is DFS and change from only ruim to NV only option and flash the desired prl and then use *228 to program it over the air.
You don't need to access ##data# just use ##3424# to get the phone into diag mode.
I have successfully flashed a phone but having problems with 3g.. The 3g icon appears but won't connect to the net
