If anyone needs help, PM me on XDA, HowardForums, or Mobile-Files. Im on hofo more than anything, but I will try to check here every so often. Also, I dont think it was listed(I just skimmed it), but make sure you set the phone to mobile+simple ip and NOT simple ip only.

Yes, it must be changed. Otherwise you will get intermittent connection.
EDIT: BTW, I really wanted to clean up the guide, but hofo wont let me edit it. But any new info we discover is updated on my tutorial over at mobile-files.

okay well feel free to take this and run with it on a new thread in HF as well as my link to the Megaupload files.

Yes. Plus I have the Motorola Evoke $15 html plan and I get about 625 kbps down and 500 kbps up on average.

Just adding a little update, I now have Android 2.2 installed, and the flash still works great. However, you will not be able to adb remount, so its recommended to either use Root Explorer or mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system in adb shell.
Also, the tutorial on mobile files has been moved to premium, but hofo still has it open. So any updates will be on howard forums, just have to read the thread.

Any way of getting it back?? or even using my current phone
which I have a htc touch pro, how can I find the MIN from that
phone and place it on my droid??

Nevermind,
I called alltel and they gave me mine.

Try PDAnet (in the market)? I know it allows free tether but you cannot get to HTTPS sites...so you wouldn't be able to check your banking or e-mail...but it may give you a limited solution.
Why not just root though and get this without the hassle?
Yeah I'd just root and get wireless tether app. No harm in rooting and it's simple. Never tried what he suggested above but no harm in trying right? good luck
3G Mobile Hotspot - the app that comes with 2.2 build by default, seems to work fine and free. Tested it successfully. I should mention that I'm rooted, but it never asked for superuser, so should work un-rooted as well.

Yep, that's my understanding. I'm not sure if it was the same app on 2.1, but it would ask me to subscribe to Verizon paid service when I'd try launching it before. So I just deleted it.
This version works just fine right out of the box, I don't pay for their tethering service.
I think I'd be more positive about this once you get your bill.

The 3G Mobile Hotspot isnt free, when you connect, and load a page it ask you to call customer service for the service...
Weird, sorry for misinformation then. I didn't get any prompts at all. It just started working. I'll have to check my bill then.
I just tried it another day again out of curiosity and thought I'd clarify after my previous confusion. It might help someone...
What happened was that I connected just fine using Verizon default app (hence my previous comments), but when I tried going online in the browser, it brought up a webpage offering to sign up for their tethering service.

It's best to learn yourself, because that way you know what happens to your phone.
I no longer root other people's phone or mod it in any way. There is always that .00001% chance the phone would brick. I would feel horrible if I broke somebody's phone.
Not to be mean either but people come back to me for "Tech support" Blaming me that there phone isn't working properly because I "Rooted it" for them.
Also.. it's really easy to do. I mean all you have to do is:
-Get samsung drivers
-Put phone in USB Diagnostic Mode
-Run the Noobnl one click root.
Your done.
Like Pjames said.. Believe in yourself and have confidence.
Bomix is right. And its SUPER easy. If you have windows 7 you might have a smig harder time. I had to run the program 7 times to get it to finally connect and do it. But that just required double clicking it to try again. Also restaring the phone and then running the program when you see the sprint logo worked for me. But anyways, you really can't get easier than this, when I had to root my nexus one it took me forever with all the software, and dos cmd commands.

In WM there's always the settings/program that I was paranoid about having wrong.
No... you don't use the Sprint hotspot app. This mod integrates a wireless Access Point feature/capability directly into the phone.
After installation, a new item appears in menu->settings->Wireless & networks -- "Mobile AP".
Select it, and turn it on with the checkbox. Wait while it configures everything in about a minute, then look for it with any wireless device and connect same as any AP. The device will now have internet access via your Epic.
This solution beats any other simply on account of the Infrastruture Mode implementation; however, the tight integration directly into the Android system beats the app approach too, for my tastes.
The SSID, DHCP server address range, and other wifi router/AP parameters are configurable.

just keep in mind this mod only works on stock/odexed ROMs, which if all you are doing is rooting, you have. if that is too much then you can get wifi tether but i think the market version still doesnt work on the Epic (correct me if thats changed).
the working version is here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
but you have to go to settings > applications > check unknown sources to install a file downloaded from non-market source.

As others have stated, you really should do it yourself and learn. Unless of course you dont ever plan on getting another phone that you plan to root. Most of the guides on XDA offer wasy instructions and have (some) members that will be patient and offer you assistance if you need it.
It really isnt that difficult with the guides and instructions some have posted. Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798067. My 12 year old nephew followed that post, and with minimal questions rooted his phone on his own without any issues.

Internet really slow on x

Hey I just flashed my droid x to cricket and the internet is really slow. On the top of phone it says 1x and little arrows under that. Isn't there supposed to be a 3g symbol there instead . Is it supposed to be like that. How can I make it faster. Any ideas. Also if I flash cm6 will I loose my full flash
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
looks like a poor signal issue to me does the phone work better in a diffrent area of town ?? or outside ??.
Its my understanding c6 is not for the DX you should check it out a bit better.
Cricket phones being on a different network may not work as well with a lot of the posted Rom's. Is the SBF for a Cricket phone different ?
Just some quick thought about your issues,hope they help...
Wat is the SBC? No i had the zio from kyocera before this one and it was pretty fast. Actually it was super fast on the web compared to this one. Could it be maybe the Guy who flashed it for me didn't flash it right.

A SBF is a system boot File. it contains boot up file, programs & system files and may contain phone (radio) files for your particular network which is Cricket. Most of the info here IMHO pertaind to Verizon.
I would search around in a thread that pertains to Cricket and SBF files and Roms.
Even though you have a DroidX thing are different with system files etc.
I just cancelled my wireless broadband service with Cricket after 4 solid months of crap for service. They were going to get the problem fixed for 3.5 months in my area.
I fixed it a couple of days ago. "CANCELLED THE SERVICE"....
Do you have an appropriate PRL file for Cricket? If not, that can be the root of some of your problems..
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
How would I go about getting a prl file. I never flashed a phone so all this is new. Does any one no of a good rom that I could use without loosing the full flash or any way to get around that
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
The person who flashed your phone did not do it properly and you do not have authentication for the EvDO(3G) network for your carrier. You only have 1X authentication so you are limited to 144Kbps.
You need to go back to that person and get them to fix it.
I do not recommend trying to fix it yourself unless you understand how to use software that can access the NVRAM and fix the data authentication items required for EvDO access on Cricket. The phone is setup to default to Verizon data authentication and rewrites those values to the MIP profile every time the phone boots. That has to be fixed in exactly the right way for it to work on Cricket and for those values to persist after a reboot. That is what they did wrong.
There is no SBF for Cricket because these phones are VZW exclusive devices.
Oh and SBF= Single Binary File that contains all of the code groups for the various partitions in the device's flash memory.
Ok so ur saying it is PR isn't or is possible to get evdo
Sent from my Droid x using XDA App
Yes, it is possible and is done frequently by people who know how.
You paid to have it flashed once I assume and you should have them fix it for you.
There are many threads about flashing to Cricket on many forums that explain in detail what you need to do. It is not an easy hack for a novice, unless you want to do a lot of research and find and learn to use software like CDMA Workshop or QXDM.

HTC evo on straight talk

okay so here is my question.
lets just say i got straight talk to activate my evo (no more info needed use you imagination)
1. would the data work
- i know i would have to get a verizion prl there is some on this forum.
would those prls work?
- i know verizion uses a-keys to authenticate the phone would *22890 work?
2. does sprint use a-keys?
3. i know that the radios are compatiable to use verizions towers.
4. would i need to change the spc to 000000?
- as i know that all verizion phones use that spc but does straight talk?
5does straight talk have data/mms format like [email protected]
any insight would be helpful?
im not stuck on straight talk open to boost virgin mobile im mostly wanting data
Sorry to bump an old thread but I've been playing with such things recently myself... Any luck?

I had my evo on straight talk but no luck with the data settings. Scoured the internet forever. Also was unable to read settings from straight talk phones using cdma workshop or qpst because of the USB lock. A passcode is required on the phones themselves for service programming.
If you have anything on this I would appreciate it!

Samsung epic to metro pcs

I need a lot of help. I went to this place and got my phone flashed but I guess they decided they would just stop after getting my epic flashed over with just talk and text. I want web and mms and I'm not even sure where to start to get it. I looked at a bunch of threads but it doesn't seem as though they apply. If anybody can help me out it would be greatly appreciated cause otherwise this phone is useless and I just paid a lot of money for it :/

She is on stock JellyBean from the Sprint Update and I am running CM10 official.
Just wondering when Metro nixed data on flashed phones?
The merger with T mobile isn't 100% yet from what I have read as the good ole government was sticking their nose in for some issue or another.. Even if it is/was official they don't merge till 2013..

It looks like the original poster in that thread got his 3g to start working after flashing a different rom or the one he first used.. I talked with the guy who flashed my phone and he said he still flashes phones daily to Metro PCS and 3G data still works fine for everyone its just the MMS issue he can't get right on some phones. Maybe it just hasn't hit Michigan yet. I do know this though I have 2 sprint phones flashed to Metro PCS and they both get 3G data and the speeds are decent if I am in a decent area of coverage. On the flipside I have thought of going a different route like Virgin Mobile just for the better coverage area around me. Good luck to whatever you find out there. Shinydudes got a lot of good info on flashing the Eic to Virgin Mobile though so give that a try.

Thanks for the recommendation to the OP guys, its not everyday I get some sort of recognition for the guide. that reminds me, I need to re-update the guide's links, they go bad if nobody is actively downloading from it from time to time.
MetroPCS's 3G is blocked in some cities, although I do know it tends to work in others, early 2010, I had my phone flashed to metro before I got deep into programming phones, it got to the point where I reprogrammed it on my own in a state that did not even have metro, and still got it working with a couple tricks up my sleeve, I do recommend my Virgin Mobile guide if Sprint is a good coverage in your area.
Edit: OP, I just noticed that your Epic was metro without 3g or 1x, not even mms? That's terrible!
I cannot guarantee 3g will work in your city, but to my knowledge, the same key for 1x was for 3g (unaware if Tmobile's merger affected it.) I have the mms fix, as well as be able to head you in the right direction to get 1x working and hopefully 3g alongside! What you're looking for is DFS for programming, and the Metro SPC calculator, its an easy password Metro invented unique to each user calculated with their own math formula when you enter your esn. There should still be apps on the market that'll spit that code out for you, just search for metro spc calc, or something along those lines, if you can't find it, I'll look into my files and post the calculator. Also, the mms fix is an outdated script, so I would manually replace files in the root directory of the phone to get it working, it doesn't seem to want to stick on some phones, but it works.

BTW ....Thank you guys for all of your help...i really appreciate all of the advice you guys have been giving

^ That's a direct download link to the Metro SPC Calc from my dropbox.
https://dl.dropbox.com/s/k1n45ef09iw3sg2/DFS 4.0.1.2.exe?dl=1
^ Direct download link to Free DFS Version from my dropbox.
DFS is free programming software, with an optional paid version if you don't want to wait a few secs each time you launch the app, as the free version has a timer,
it's what you need in order to add the spc code from the calculator to your phone, unless you have cdma workshop, which isn't free.
For picture messaging (after you have 1x, and/or 3g working)
If you're running cyanogenmod, it's as simple as changing the apn-conf.xml, and your mms.apk.
using a file i have saved, although i need to hunt for it, i have it somewhere, i'll have it ready once you've done the above.

Okay great THANK YOU !! but now im not sure where to go....i downloaded everything and my dec was 18 digits long but it's asking for 11 not sure what to do with that so i just used the first 11...and well what is the code to send it into programming mode because it wont go with the code suggested in dfs and im not sure what to do with DFS after I do get that step completed.
I am on CM10 official.. probably move to a nightly soon. I am very interested in getting MMS working. I get pictures all the time through text and its embarrassing telling the other party that my badass old phone with newer software than thiers won't send or receive pics.. lol.. I have tried playing with the apn stuff but its a lot different on CM10 for some reason.. I know if I flash stock GB on my phone MMS works.. Thanks in advance for any help here bro.. There have been many days I have read your stuff and think about going the Virgin Mobile route..

It must be done from programming software, although you're just going to be making very few edits, and a change of prl, unless it's already a metro 3g prl, which in that case you'd toggle a setting in the software to avoid it getting pushed via a non-3g prl. This is all theorhetical that 3g will work, as I do not know if metro has blocked 3g in your area, but it will grant you 1x, and then mms with the right settings.
