Help with programming to Metro PCS!

[code_red2424]

Can someone please help me. I purchased the program, I have added my meid to metro pcs inventory, I have tried prl 3018, 3026 and I still have no service. After writing prl, I dial *22804 and update the roaming list, when I try to dial a phone number it tells me my phone is not authorized for service. I have called metro pcs customer service and they said the phone is activated on my account and needs to be programmed. Any ideas why my service is not working?

I've moved you post to a new thread in hopes it will be seen easier.
How are you writing the PRL and have you contacted iphonecdmatool support via skype?

[code_red2424]

I have tried to write prl using the iphonecdmatool and I have tried to do it manually aswell. It seems like the prl is sticking but no service.

[rich hathaway]

to check the prl navigate to settings\general\about then tap on carrier until you see prl.

i am just seeing this,i can help you but really it needs to be on skype i am iPhoneCDMATool.com on there.

Ok got it to work. Went down to metro pcs, they looked at it and couldn't do anything. Asked them to try and change the service back to my old phone and then back to the iphone again, and tada I got service. Got text, talk, web, mms all working. Thanks for the help.

have you used the tool?

[cesaim1]

I was having the same problem, all you have to do is activate your old phone and then put the service back onto the iphone

So I'm planning on getting my Sprint iphone 4 to work with Metro. I just opened my Metro account with an old phone and ported my number over. All I have to do is add the esn to the database (found a guy on ebay does it for $43), and then all I need is buy your tool and I should be good to go? Sorry, I'm a noob at all this, I'm usually good with hacking and such, but all this is over my head, I just want it to work. Thanks in advance for a response.

[rich hathaway]

well you will need some carrier settings,but thats pretty much it

So big thanks to Ty for walking me through getting the Metro setup on the Iphone. The program works great, phone works great, and it's cheaper than we were paying monthly for the droid that wouldn't hold a charge!!

For those who are trying to figure out the password situation for metro: it is the MSL/SPC code for your specific phone. Prior to Ty's assistance, I had the correct password which I retrieved from this site: CheckESNFree.com - The worlds only free instant online ESN checker! ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) but my PRL didn't stick, so it wasn't working correctly.

having a hard time getting data to work, should the pass have hex checked off or not?

[dantheman0721]

I have everything working except MMS, but it's not a problem with the program, I can't get ota to work for Metro to activate it. I have Skyped with you guys and can't figure it out. Anyone else have this problem? or anyone have any ideas. Eveytime I try to OTA, it says "I'm sorry, try again later", and I'm in a Metro market.

I have been trying to Skype all weekend and couldn't get an answer. Is there a known issue getting ota to work on Sprint iphones using Metro? And if so is there a fix?

[rich hathaway]

we have been on skype all weekend friend. what is your user name on skype and i will get ahold of you. and yes the sprint phone has ota disabled in 3 places by default.the bundle fixes it but if your phone wont activate then you can kinda get stuck.

[dantheman0721]

My Skype name is dantheman07210721

I just sent another message. Would love to get this resolved. Thanks Rich.

I need help. anyone mind helping?

I used the tool. I now have talk, text, and 1x data. But not 3g or mms. (which probably depend on each other). This was a vz iphone 4 now on metro. Since the username and pass are the same, I don't see how I would have 1x but not 3g. However, two problems persist.1. I am having a hard time figuring out what to put in the akey field. I used that converter tool on the forum, but it spits out a DEC akey. Should I be using that tool, or is there another way to get it like calling metro?2. I am unable to OTA. Which means I get that nagging screen telling me the phone isn't activated yet. Is there a way to fix that?

[rich hathaway]

do not mess with akey,you dont need to write anything to it,it for advanced users only and not used for general flashing.
you will need to ota to get your phone activated or if you are on 6.0 redsn0w will will hacktivate for you,otherwise you will get no mms or carrier logo.

Hello: can anyone help me out, i need the 1038 prl and thnk you.

[rich hathaway]

if you need a metro pcs prl use 3026,most people get along good with it. if im not mistaken 1038 is a very old cricket prl not metro.
