I broke the usb port on my lg voyager and don't have the supplies (if you will) to repair it. Does anyone know if I can do anything inside the phone's user interface and software to sort of flash it to metro pcs? Also, is it true that I can write a prl to the phone via bluetooth? And lastly, if I go to metro pcs and have them add the esn to their database for the $25 the guy at the counter said it costs, will that automatically make any call I make redirect to a metro pcs tower?

Is it possible to flash a phone without plugging it into your pc?

Change Firmware via something other than USB, do you have a JTAG rig?
You SHOULD be able to access the EFS via Bluetooth... that should let you make quite a few major changes including PRL. I'm just not certain about this particular model.
Last I read, metro dealers should be charging $10 to add the ESN to the system. This may have changed though and I guess it could be market specific... anyway, that alone will not 'redirect' all of your calls through Metro.
Back to the USB issue... since you were going to probably go straight USB anyway, skip trying to fix the port itself and just wire up the USB pins to a cable and then after the flash, unhook them. Do you have a different way to charge your battery though? Is it that you just don't have a USB Port to use, are having trouble getting the port off or is it that you just don't have a proper soldering station?Last edited by Guest; 08-29-2010 at 10:19 PM.

the usb port on the phone is broken, I charge the battery in another phone on which the charging port works. What is JTAG? and I'll try it via bluetooth, and no I don't have a proper soldering station.

samsung u310 can be done on the phone, so can some treos and there are probably more. On old phones you can change the sid and turn off the prl and *228 to get the cricket prl and then enable prl and BAM in your face goes a flashed phone!!!!!!!!!!!
