Any possibility of adding a feature to dump all NV items, like CDMAWS has? I'm curious what's lurking inside.

i made a metro pcs calculator this weekend and will be added it to the tool in the next few days,in the meantime you can pm your meid and i will calculate it for you,DO NOT POST IT IN PUBLIC,and you will need to google for your local sid,it is just some digits 1 to 5 of them.

Ok so you plan to update the tool within the next few days? Is this the version 2 we have been hearing about? Should i just wait?

As far as my local sid goes the only thing i could come up with is 6503? I guess thats the Default now?

@gotanmp3 it will already dump the entire nv. that feature is just disabled in version 1,it will be enabled in version 2. there will be a new upgrade late this week (we hope)it will be kinda like a version 1.5 (if you will) that will have auto commcenter patch and user selected auto bundle injection

version 2 will be comming soon but not this week.

chaoticmayhem65
07-30-2012, 02:09 PM
ok sorry for the dumb questions but what exactly is auto commcenter patch and user selected auto bundle injection? Will it make it easier for dummies like myself?

And on your tutorial you say you have a big list of prl's for download here in the forum but i cant find them. Could you possibly link to them and maybe give me a heads up on which one i might use. Im on Metro Pcs here in Stockton California.

Rich which SID and PRL can you recommend for MD, VA, DC area? It is AWS market.

07-30-2012, 03:18 PM
One question. For a Sprint iPhone 4, do I need to get the SPC before I use the program? Or do I need to set the SPC to all zeros following one of the tutorials available before I can use the program?

Thank you

tigran80
07-30-2012, 03:19 PM
It has to be zeroes on cricket network.

rich hathaway
07-30-2012, 04:22 PM
no it doesnt need to be 0's to use the tool



Cricket PRL's ([Only registered and activated users can see links])
Cricket SID's ([Only registered and activated users can see links])


Metro PCS PRL's ([Only registered and activated users can see links])

Metro PCS SID's ([Only registered and activated users can see links])

for cricket aws markets use only 35668.prl

Thank you Rich & tigran80 for replying back.

I am going to use Metro PCS in the South FL market.

So, I don't need to find the SPC to flash the phone right? The tool will do all the programming, including for talk & text provided I have all the info?

Thank You.

a rich will you be going down on your price of iphone flashing now that cdmatool is now flashing 2 iphones for $100 ????

rich hathaway
08-01-2012, 10:33 PM
no i wont,they contact me asking me to raise the price to 100 with them.i wont do that,i wont get into a price war with them either. our tool is far superior.but if it is worth it for you waiting for hours/days for credits and having to fight with security errors and disonnects then reconnect then disconnect to save 15 bucks then your a dfs customer not a iphonecdmatool.com customer.

if you have used the tool then you know you can flash in 2 minutes,i never even did one with dfs in less than a day because of credit and other probs.

choose for yourself. oh and i am a located in the U.S.A.:kiwi-fruit: ...

Abee,

No you dont have to remove the "metro flash talk n text" from your account. Actually you can go down to the $40 plan and you will still get everything unlimited. Everything will work fine with no problems

Thanks!

I am stuck on 4g verizon 32 gb, did all things as normal. comcenter patch, cricket bundle and iphone cdmatool. I keep getting phone is not activated yet and there is no cricket on the banner just 3g. Any ideas where to start.

rich hathaway
08-02-2012, 05:17 PM
kirk,uninstall the bundle and the cc patch then reinstall then reflash and after you reflash,read the phone again to make sure that everything sticks,pay special attention to the 1x and 3g passwords.

for some reason the bundles on amos repo do not always work. if you still have trouble pm me.

I'm on the fence on getting it. I own a store, and I wanna get this right. I can take a Sprint OR Verizon iPhone 4 OR 4S and put it on Page Plus OR Revol, AND get Talk, Text, Web, and MMS?? I can do a Verizon iPhone to Page Plus no problem, but I want to make sure I can do a Sprint. Say I get a customer in here, how long would the whole process take? Could I get set up and do the 1st one within a hour???

Thank you

Yes currently with our tool you can program a VERIZON or SPRINT iphone 4(NOT 4s right now) to ANY CDMA carrier with our software. So yes pageplus and revol is no problem. We do have mms bundles for both. So you will definitely get talk, text, web and mms no problem.

Did my iPhone 4 on metro working today on Metro PCS. Talk, text, & web works. Thanks to rich and the easy tool.

But the mms is not working. I tried changing the APN settings after installing TetherMeAPN Editing from the source cydia.myrepospace.com/fernas/ and following Mikedragon's post. But it's still not working. It gives me an error message. Do I need to something else? Is there any commcenter patch Metropcs carrier bundle I can install for it to work?

I tried getting help through Skype, but the status is offline all the time.

If anyone can please help me make the mms working please. I would really appreciate it.

Thank You

SOLD!!!!! I do have 1 more question though. I'm gonna flash my iPhone 4 to Page Plus. Is there a fee if I wanna flash the same phone to Revol or do an esn change for a customer?

1 more thing, can I flash it to Page Plus WITHOUT a MDN and MIN, and when I activate it dial *228 or *22890?

Ok guys sorry if I sound like such a newb but this will be my first iPhone flash. I have a Verizon iPhone 4 I wanna flash to cricket. Im not currently on cricket so could I call cricket to add meid and then just use *22804 To get talk n text working then use this tool for data ? Also which of the unlimited plans should I use ?

rich hathaway
08-03-2012, 09:58 PM
@blue..write your prl from wherever you have it stored.

@richdarula cricket will not add that meid if you tell them it is a iphone,so say it is an evo or something,it needs to be on the 60z or adr1 plan

Los Angeles CA, metropcs with verizon iphone 4 ios 5.1.1. After using the tool, I get web but not 3G and mms doesn't work on wifi. *My download speeds are 31-77 kbps, and my upload speeds 1-97 kbps. I used many combinations of MNC, MCC, SID, and prls including SID 6503 and prl 3026. 3G was not activated successfully so there's no 3G symbol only the "o" shows up on the status bar. Can someone direct me to a possible or a complete solution? Thanks

auto carrier bundle support is being added now,and will hopefully be ready in a couple days.it will give mms,facetime,hotspot.for metro 3g is not possible in all areas.but your mnc,mcc should be 31000 for the usa. if you are still having trouble,hit our live support on skype (iPhoneCDMATool.com)

Ok well that makes sense then. So what prl should i be using? I used the 02004 EVDO from the forum here. I just kinda guessed at it cause i didnt know what to use and my data speeds are slow. I did however get my MMS working by installing tetherme and editing the Cellular data network settings.

So do i just re-run the tool over to flash it to the 3030 prl?

And also i notice there is a "write prl" option to the left of the tool and then a "write" option on the right hand side of the tool. Are we supposed to use both of these? And if so in what order?

rich hathaway
08-06-2012, 09:05 PM

chaoticmayhem65
08-06-2012, 11:00 PM
just use the prl button once you select the prl it will write it for you
Ok so what happens if i hit the other "Write" button to the right after i already hit the "write prl" button? Cause thats what i did. And why are my data speeds so slow?

rich hathaway
08-07-2012, 12:00 AM
the "write" button on the right is to write the values in the boxes above it.so ya if you didnt have the correct values in those it would screw up your data.so just reflash it if your not sure.you can afford to use the tool again cuz its free for that phone :)

08-07-2012, 01:07 AM

So basically the write button on the right is to be used after you have flashed the prl of choice to the phone and you want to write all the correct settings to the prl?
But anyhow i have it all working and i am now using the 3030 prl which now gives me the 3G indicator in the status bar but my data speeds are still incredibly slow. What type if speeds should i be seeing?

08-07-2012, 09:34 AM

Well at first i didnt have the 3g indicator in the status bar when i used the 2004 prl. Then all i did was change the prl to the 3030 and the 3g logo appeared. I wouldnt quite call it 3g though cause its slow speeds. But it works and i also got mms picture messaging working.

Im still waiting on rich to confirm all my settings are correct though, so i wouldn't follow in my footsteps to closely yet.

08-07-2012, 08:49 PM
What exactly would you like to know?

Well I just wanted to know the steps you took to get 3G. If I upload the prl first then write the parameters or if I write the parameters then upload the prl, in either way I still don't get 3G. My speeds, UL and DL, are around 100kbps and there's no 3G on the status bar. Only the "o" is showing. So I was just wondering how you got it to work but I guess it doesn't mater in my case. Thanks any way.

Thanks any way.

Ok well first used the read option to populate all the fields and then i corrected all the info as needed. Then i used the "write prl" option and selected the 3030 prl. After it finished i hit the "write" tab to the right of the tool and let it finish. Then i just hit disconnect and that was it. I still dont get 3g speeds though, even though it says 3g.

And im still a little confused as to weather we hit the "write prl" tab first or the "write" tab first. Or if we are supposed to even use both of them. And if so in what order.

So what prl are you using?

08-07-2012, 09:24 PM
the order you write them should not matter, also make sure you have the correct password and that you are not writing it in hex

Well to be honest with you i think i pretty much have it all figured out and yes the tool is easy to use once you figure out all the settings. Im pretty sure i have all the settings correct and the phone seems to be functioning well despite the slow data speeds.

Ok thanks. So all settings look good? I did as much research as i could and was pretty sure i got it all correct. I've tried a few prls out and did some speed tests but they all seem to be pretty much the same. What type of 3G speeds should we be seeing on metro?

what does it mean when i get failed to access mobile service?
and before this i was able to write information to iphone, talk and text worked fine but no data.

i originally flashed this phone with dfs when they launched. web was working fine. I reset the phone to get rid of all the previous owners information. After that i reflashed it but i could never get web back on. sprint's activation failed keeps popping up but i still get serive.

I tried to flash with your tool Rich but I cant get web. Should I restore it and reflash it again?

hi rich,

i am getting the same problem as quoted above, the pop up saying "iPhone is not activated", ask me to ignore and retry.

using the software can get most of the functions to work, but it doesn't seem to fix that activation pop-up problem.

also, with cricket, i think the MMS is not going to work as long as the phone has that activation pop-up (no authentication activation).

what can we do?

also i quick question, can NV item 0 be changed? no matter how i change it, it always bounce back.

thanks for your time!

try the ota if it doesnt work and the phone wont activate after the tool,then you probly will need to do a full DFU restore then reflash.

nv item 0 is hard coded in the phone and cannot be changed by simply writing that nv item.

no bro,it enables mms,logo,hotspot and depending on the carrier,facetime and imessage and auto installs the correct commcenter patch without having to have wifi and add repos then install pkgs,and it does it all with a single click in about 5 seconds. so its kinda a big deal.

Sorry man i didn't mean to imply that it wasn't a big deal. I was just curious what it was. This is all new to me so im still in the learning process when it comes to CDMA iPhones and flashing to other carriers. Im used to working with GSM iPhones which seem to be way simpler, just pop in your sim and edit the the carrier settings if needed.


So i have data up and going and mms working. If im not mistaken i believe facetime also works. What else am i missing?

@rich. I can't get web on sprint iphone that keeps wanting to activate. I tried pageplus and metro pcs. I was able to flash a different sprint iphone to pageplus with web. This one was previously activated with sprint pcs. Do you think the difference is because of the previous activation status. Already restored it a couple of times but still it keeps asking to ota. It keepngs failing ota. What are your thoughts on this?

Ok well first used the read option to populate all the fields and then i corrected all the info as needed. Then i used the "write prl" option and selected the 3030 prl. After it finished i hit the "write" tab to the right of the tool and let it finish. Then i just hit disconnect and that was it. I still dont get 3g speeds though, even though it says 3g.

And im still a little confused as to weather we hit the "write prl" tab first or the "write" tab first. Or if we are supposed to even use both of them. And if so in what order.

So what prl are you using?

I have used these PRLs:
3018, 3022, 3026, 2027, 3028, 3029, 3030.

In combination with these SIDs:
6503, 6504, 6509, 5037, 5007, 5109, 5023, 5097, 5167, 5199, 4815, 4273.

And in combination with these IMSIs:
31000MIN and 31166MIN.

Here are some of the speed results I obtained with some of these parameters. But when i used the other parameters, the results were very very similar.*

SIDs all with IMSI=31166MIN and prl=3029.
6503 - 104/123 kbps (UL/DL)
6504 - 101/87*
6509 - 104/100*
5037 - 83/121*
5007 - 99/122*
5109 - 80/114*
5023 - 55/92*
5097 - 102/125*
5167 - 80/77*
5199 - 89/1171*
4815 - 60/115*
4273 - 103/75*

Conclusion:
There's no 3G data in my area.
Or metropcs uses different username and password in this area for 3G and 1X data.
Or . . .

I'm currently using prl 3029, sid 6503, and imsi 31000min since it doesn't make any significant difference on speed based on the combinations of parameters I used.

Do you get the 3g logo up top in the status bar. I have the 3G logo but as far as speed goes i think the 3g is very spotty and depends on what area your in. At times ill get speeds up to 1mbps and other times ill get slow speeds ranging from 100-200kbps. But to be honest with you usually i get slower speeds and rarely touch the 1mbps mark. And i do notice at work my speeds are better. Maybe its just a metro thing but then again ive never had another phone besides the iphone on metro service to compare it to.

rich hathaway
08-09-2012, 12:30 PM
this should get your speeds up some for most metro markets. use this new username format and post your results here so we can compare guys.
write this for 1x and 3g and you may try also just write it to 3g and leave 1x user the same as you had it to see which provides best speed.

I don't get the 3G symbol on the status bar only the "o" symbol is showing there. Based on my results, I am getting 1x speeds. I do have an HTC metropcs branded phone with sonic speeds maybe 30x faster than what I'm getting with my iPhone. So this tells me that metropcs should have 3G speeds in my area but I am not getting them.

I only get the 3G symbol if I have 3 bars of signal or more. 2 or less it goes to the circle.

The 3G symbol only shows for me when I custom load any prl eg.3029 or 3030 but i noticed when my iPhone auto converted back to 2004 it just had the circle up top with no 3G symbol anymore... So u guys might want to check in your settings to make sure it's still the same and nothing changed :) once I reloaded the 3030 prl the symbol was there again

who really cares about the 3G symbol when the speeds are 1x or slower regardless?
I would settle for the circle up top if I had good speeds.
has anyone gotten a legitimate 3G speed off this tool?
because I for one have not.
either metropcs 3G is a joke or something is not set correctly.

rotor pilot,

Nothing is wrong with our tool friend. It all depends on metro's network in your area. Alot of florida customers have super high 3G speeds. Some customers in PA have 1x. It just all depends on the area and sometimes the prl your using. The best 3G prl I would suggest to use is 3026. Our Tool does NOT dictate 3G speeds. Its a programming tool. 3G is dictated by the network, towers and MetroPCS.

Thanks!

I do think there is something preventing higher speeds for some reason. (thats not my job)
I know there are legit Metropcs users around here getting 3G speeds on their Metro phones. (same towers, same location, same signal strength, just metropcs phones)

Other sprint iphones that show sprint pcs on top of phone that i flashed to metro and pageplus hat web working. The ones that want to ota and fail, wont get web when i flash it.

I agree with you. I have the same problem where Im at. I can not get 3g. I have been in the metro corporate store looking at the metro phones get 3g and 4g with no problems wondering why mines cant. i know ALOT of people at the corporate store. So today they gave me a phone that gets 3G to experiment with. Me and rich going to see if we can get this problem sorted tonite. I know its not a problem with the settings or tool. Like I said, MANY of our customers get 3G. Its just in some markets 3g wont pick up. Hopefully by sunday we'll figure this problem out

Do a *228 and just update the roaming list and it will activate the phone again. If for some reason that doesnt work, contact me or rich via skype support and we'll get you sorted. Dont worry this is a simple problem you have.

the problem with that sprint phone is the ota is disabled bt default in 3 places on the phone.what you can do for now to get it activated is dl the cricket bundle (cc patch first) then ota with metro,then uninstall the cricket bundle,that will get rid of the cricket logo for you.

I know you're probably sick of hearing people begging for the MEID repair solution, but I'll mention it again: Ting (a Sprint MVNO) has absolutely no problem with discussing that sort of thing on their official support forums. I'm sure there are actually people there too who would like to be able to use an iPhone. I'm personally not impressed with their pricing, as it's geared more towards light users, but I've gotta admire them for embracing BYOD customers.

In other words, if you're looking for a place to post it - I'm sure they'd welcome it.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion, the reason I asked it that way is Revol is a small regional carrier which gets no solution love anywhere.

now guys,no fisticuffs in the iphone forum lol. its all good with revol.i made a bundle for revol and it has been tested and confirmed working,so throwin a little revol solution love yer way bro.damn did i just say that? it sounded really bad..lmao

Question for Rich or any other knowledgeable mind. Why is it that i let my phone sit for a few days unused and i noticed today that the 3g indicator had disappeared from my status bar and the prl reverted back to 2004? And i also lost my APN settings under cellular data network.

you mean the sid reverted back. sounds like it carrier updated,they do that. but no worries flashing is free for it cuz you already paid...just plug it again and make it yours in like 2 min. lol

SICK TIGHT!
works like a charm
Picture messaging at last...lol
what about Facetime and iMessage? when I turn them on they say waiting for activation. Then it says activation failed.
??ideas??

& just an update I was able to break my record on 3G speed.
I had full signal strength & got .56mbps DL .31mbps UL.
not blazing by any means but I use this feature most for email & gps features

Thanks for the new tool Rich & YDiddy

Update-
for Facetime & iMessage I have the "waiting for Activation" message.
however, I tried both and they both work.
I facetime called my buddy no problem & Imessage too.
just need to figure out how to get the activation to go through.

For those of you that dont know or havent heard:

The NEW tool has been officially been released. The new tool now features WORLD EXCLUSIVE one touch programming for mms/pic msg and cc(commcenter) patch installation. With one touch of the "Install Carrier Bundle" button, the tool will install your carriers mms bundle and commcenter patch within 20 secs!

ydiddy
08-16-2012, 10:13 AM
Oh I forgot to mention, when you use our tool to flash the mms bundle, the manual programming feature via the keypad is enabled. All you have to do is dial ##777 then talk, and the you can then program your MIN and MDN via the keypad. Please remember the spc code is 000000.

Enjoy!

Ok but this would be quite annoying if you sold the phone to someone who has no clue how to even use a computer much less use this tool.

Ok well i just used your new updated tool and it works like magic. Phone works great! but one thing i did notice is that after the carrier bundle flash it changed my sid to 2004 vs the 6503 i was using. And i Notice under cellular data network the APN setting for "Cellular Data" and "MMS" is blank when before i had it set to "metropcs". Despite all this the phone works good, data and mms. Should i be concerned about the sid and change it back to 6503 and should i edit the apn settings back to metropcs?

Is there a charge for phones previously binded to re-program with updated tool?

rich hathaway
08-16-2012, 03:32 PM
@cm i wrote that sid because it would be impossible to know what sid everyone is gonna need,so for ref on phones u do from now on,it will not write the correct sid so flash the bundle first,then write the phones settings,also you do not need the apn name or i would have put it in there for you.if you "mess" with it,it will only "mess" it up.it writes exactly what it needs,no more no less.and actually i hid the cellular network data tab from everyone for this very reason cuz if they can see it they are gonna be to tempted to mess it up then call me or ty on skype for support. you only see it because you have tether app. but you know the old saying "if it aint broke..."


@jrtran no extra charge for previously binded devices

First off let me start off by saying I'm a complete noob at flashing, this will be my first time...
okay so i bought the tool not knowing iPhone 4s originally from sprint was not supported yet. so of course when i connected it, it said it was unsupported. thats what i get for not reading enough.
My question is how long till the 4s is supported? Im sure this has been asked but i kind of told my 62 year old dad that it was up and ready to go which is why he dished out the money fast.. OOPS! i just don't want to disappoint him and have him lose out on $75. If and when there is a new update do i have to repay an "upgrade fee"? and one last question... to get the meid to cricket do i just use an online converter and call cricket to add to his acct? sorry, again, I'm such a noob!

carrier information update = new carrier bundle = no more old carrier bundle

where'd it go?
i forgot to put that back in there,i will correct it and ul corrected bundles.
it will take a couple days to get it all done. but its not your phones problem,it was mine.
i will let you all know when it is fixed.sorry this is still a work in progress guys.

I have the same problem where Im at. I can not get 3g.

I just flashed a Boost Transform Ultra to Metro PCS yesterday, in the Orlando area. I don't know if it's different in other markets, but here the M.IP settings are (from an official Metro branded phone):

Active User - 0
Mobile IP Behavior - Mob IP only
Initial Registration Retry Interval - [BLANK]
RFC2002bis MN-HA - [Checked]
Registration Retries - 2
Deregistration Retries - [BLANK]
Pre-lifetime-expiry - 30

Mobile IP Profile 0 is configured as:

[Only registered and activated users can see links]
[Only registered and activated users can see links]
HA Shared Secret - A unique 16 character (as written) text string of uppercase letters and numbers (this is probably wrong/missing on phones that aren't getting 3G)
AAA Shared Secret - [6 DIGIT SPC], as text
MN-HA SPI - 103
MN-AAA SPI -103
DMU Public Key ID - 41
DMU Mobile Authenticator - [Blank]
Rev Tunnel Preferred - [Checked]
Home/Primary HA/Secondary HA Address - All 0.0.0.0

It's probably that HA password that's spoiling the party. If Metro won't/can't give it to you, the only other method I can think of for getting it onto an iPhone would involve methods y'all aren't keen on. :dispirited:

[QUOTE=rich hathaway;38157]carrier information update = new carrier bundle = no more old carrier bundle


Rich,
do you mean to ignore the update to maintain/save the carrier information the tool put on it?

and with metro - is there a way to get the visual voicemail working?
before when it was in the bottom tab, when you hit the icon it just dialed my voicemailbox. nothing came up on screen for playing the message, calling the person, etc.

that is not it.we have that value for that pass correct and it has no effect.and we cannot set the gateway to mip only,it must be mip/sip,even though the metro phones use mip only.

yes ignore the update,they are bad unless you just like using the tool and reflashing.lol
vvm will not work with metro,they do not support it. only carriers that have official ip will support it and not all of them. i will add vvm to a few of the bundles for carriers that support it.

yes right now there is sid bug that we are fixing.so what this means is you need to load the carrier bundle first then write the prl and flash the settings to the phone. if you write the bundle last it will reload the incorrect sid over your freshly written sid. this is possibly your issue. so just plug your phone and check your settings.no need to re-write the bundle again,rather just ck your settings.
