    Default Having a hard time trying to flash sprint BB 8530 into metro

    Hey guys.. first let me say great community you guys have here!!! Let me start by saying I'm as green as I could possibly be at this. My problem is the following I bought a BB 8530 (sprint) to flash it to Metro PCS, I have added the ESN into metro's network already now all I have to do is flash... It seems pretty simple Im able to load PRL files. but im not successful dialing 611 and getting metro I get some lady telling me that cannot locate my service provider... (if i load the sprint PRL and change SID it goes back to sprint) so its loading the prl. now im in the NEW YORK. I wonder if that has anything to do with it... but im not able to get anything nor talk nor text out of this phone.. can some one help me or point me to the right direction. I have reed a lot of post here I apologize if the post is out in the forum.
    Thank you before hand in any help provided.

    my settings
    ##000000
    MDN (10 digits metro number )
    IMSI_S (10 digit metro number )

    From your handset

    ##000000 send (Thats if your handset SPC is 000000)

    Go to:

    REG ID

    Change REG ID to 2004

    Use 2004.prl

    3011 is AWS


    SID = 6503
    PRL = 2004

    Uncheck NAM Lock

    Home Only
    CDMA Only

    Make sure Reg id is saved to 2004 or handset will automatically revert back to Sprint

    once you change reg ID, to save click blackberry menu button and choose save in menu options. phone will reset. Also be sure that you wrote PRL in both NAM 1 and NAM 2. You might also want to check to see if your device has an IT Policy on it.
