Flash Sprint HERO TO METRO PCS

Well I know this has been discussed but never in it's entirety. I would like to put together a how to but won't be able to until my girlfriend signs up for metro. But here's what I got First thing you'll have to get your msl (look in my signature). Second you'll have to get the prl from here (these guys have a pretty extensive list of prls including cricket and so fourth). Place that on the root of your sdcard. On your phones dialer push ##prl# . A menu will come up saying "enter code", enter you msl. Then a menu will come up with one choice "update prl". Click it a new menu will come up called epst. Click on folders and choose sdcard. Now push the back key to get the keypad to go away. there will be a selection with a prl file click that and then press okay. It will go back to the previous menu. Click menu and commit modifications. It will ask if your sure then click ok and then it will reboot. Check your prl to make sure it went through should be good.
Okay gonna post this for now if you already have metro on this phone please do a nandroid and post it and i will do a more thorough guide I'm not done with this by far
Note to self ##data# /dataprofile/dsa server = remove this to stop downloading sprint stuff

so im guessing by far u meant u wouldnt finish this by far

Well I wish this was complete.

dude just go to metro pcs they will do it for u and yes when i was rhinking about doing it he said daTA will work and u qould have to pay the activation fee anyway on your firsts months bill so please stop bumping threads

Thank you captain obvious but if u knew any better you'd know Metro will flash only to enable Phone calls and text, no data.

Just wondering if we can get a list of who is rock solid and when we can start seeing some data sets?
I for one bought HL not for the d20 stuff but for other games like L5R or Palladium and so forth.
Heres hoping.

install (UNKNOWN SOURCES)non-market apps option is now available in settings!!!!!!

*FOR US DELL STREAK ONLY*
This works on stock 1.6, NO ROOT REQUIRED.
In the phone menu dial *#*#307#*#*.
something will flash on your screen for a split second
now you should be back @ the dialer screen.
go to your applications drawer(where all apps are located)
next to email app, you should see an app titled "EMList"
press on "EMList" app.
once the app opens scroll to the BOTTOM OF THE LIST
the very last option says APP_SECURITY.
press APP_SECURITY, then then turn on option to
'UPDATE UNKNOWN RESOURCE PROPERTY"
Press home button
Go to settings, Applications,
NOW LOOK @ YOUR TOP OPTION!!!!!
This worked for me as I downloaded swype from the website with no problems.
I have a US OFFICIAL DELL STREAK....let us know if this works for all models( UK & FROYO BUILDS)
You can unintall EMList now by dialing *#*#308#*#*. Power off device then turn back on, and Voila, its gone
Now everything is as it was before
Kudos to member xda member MONEYTOO for getting me into the EMLIst menu.

might want to add that this is for US at&t gimped streaks as not to confuse people

Yeah, I was going to change the title to reflect that, but it was too late. I have added it into the top of post, so hopefully that helps.
Isn't this option available on the Streaks on your side of the world already?

Will this really work without messing up the phone?

It has worked for me without any discovered flaws thus far....1hr.
I even removed the EMList app and the unknown sources options remained available in Setting menu. I restarted my phone to see if the option would still be availbale after a power down & its still there.
If you have any problems after perfoming this method, you could do it again and uncheck the option to enable the unknown sources.
Its your Streak, your Call. If I discovered any flaws, I would not have posted this. I appreciate my Streak & hard earned money used to purchase it. I assume everyone else does too, so I would not set out to harm people's Streaks......

lol eh? what do you mean it worked for you bud? uk streaks already have the "unknown sources" option by default.....

I followed your direction to a T. However, EMList does not uninstall when i press *#*#308#*#* .
Otherwise, the Unknown Sources option now works on my stock Dell Streak, which I confirmed by installing the Trillian beta.

Scratch my previous post. EMList did disappear. It's all good now.

This works great! Good find!!!

No problem, just helping U.S all out. Hopefully Dell doesn't patch this in the Froyo update.

This work great, I am still on the stock 1.6 on the USA streak.
Just loaded swype and all is good.
thank you

awesome find!
Adding this to the wiki!

Worked like a charm! Great find!!

Worked for me!
This worked for me. Thank you very much!

This worked for me. Thank you very much!
You are welcome sir!-)

Work for me too.
Thanks for the tip

No problem buddy

how to get the profile and prl working when it says unknown error

this is what i did is using adw launcher long press on home screen then select custom shortcut then press pick your activity then press activities then scroll down till you find system updates its a green circle with a white check mark press that then scroll down to [OMA DM Settings(.dmhiddenmenu.OMADM_Settings) it will create a new icon on the home screen press it. when it opens press server address type then press ipv4 then press ok. no more errors wooo hoooo

I think that worked. I used LauncherPro, but the idea is the same. i don't get errors any more, just a note that says no updates available.

Did everything up until changing the server type (did this through similar menu settings in launcher pro btw), and then decided to make sure it was still giving me an error before doing the tweak. Went and checked and it hasn't thrown me an error once. So it might just be that Sprints has straightened things out on their end.

I'm thinking the same thing. It doesn't error for me either, without the tweak.

Holy CRAP! Mine said the same thing without any fix after 2 months of errors! I was going this morning to swap my phone out!!!! Yeah!

I got my replacement phone yesterday and now it doesn't give me an error when trying to update profile/prl. I'm pretty sure it was on Sprints side though

im not sure if it was on sprints end or not but it worked for me. my samsung epic is on boost mobile and all my other phones it worked. i hope its all good now

I believe sprint pulled the 60677 update due to problems, and that is what was causing the update profile/prl problems

677
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Yes, just got "PRL updated" and radio reset and still 60676. Had 60677 a week ago when Sprint pushed me to 76.

Yeah I've been on 677 for a while now. I went last saturday to the repair store hoping to get another phone. That didn't happen. They said it's the programmer's fault. They said there isn't any updates and instead of the dialog box saying no updates available, it says unknown or internal error. I asked him then to try it out on his epic sitting on the desk in front of him. He said he could try it but nothing will happen because he's rooted and running a custom rom......
Anyways, I didn't do the suggestion from the OP and tried updating before changing anything and profile didn't come back with any message and prl came back with no updates available.

im happy to be able to update profile because i flashed my phone to boost mobile but had problems with data authenticating after i played around for a month with this i found this solution so now my phone also completes a hands free activation. i flashed a different modem the error came right back but i did the trick again and the updates work. go figure i cant figure it out

[CDMA NS4G] [Q] Evo PRL hack - work for NS4g

I was going to try this hack but ##775# does nothing on my phone. Does anyone know if this works and what dialer code to use?

You can push any prl you want to the phone. Since we have diagnostic access thru *#*#8778#*#* then hit "modem" on the bottom selection. This will allow qpst to recognize it. If on windows 7, go to device drivers and look under "modems" to find your phone. Open properties and look for COM. It will have a number. Then open qpst. Hit "Add Port" and input what COM you saw. Prl will be under "service programming". Hit "write to phone", and finally browse to that .prl file.

WITH BOTH QPST AND CDMA WORKSHOP, I AM ABLE TO READ THE PHONES SETTINGS BUT I CANT WRITE TO IT. woops, sorry bout the caps.
anyway, when i click write, some things write and others dont. then when i click read, the banner is recognized as google even though it reads sprint on my phone still. often time when i click write in cdma workshop, it tells me phone is requesting spc, spc is required.
update: it seems that the sci and access overload class have stuck to the values that i chose. however, the main goal for me is to alter the banner to read 'Google'.
any input is much appreciated. thank you!

extract this and put the eri.xml directly in /data and give it full permissions. If using rootexplorer, check all boxes under permissions. Reboot. Should say "Google" now. lemme know how it goes.
you can also adb it by: chmod 777 /data/eri.xml

I forgot it in the original post. If you get a minute, could you take a look at it and tell me if it sounds reasonable to you? I have never used QPST. I dl'ed it tonight and looked around a bit. I am pretty much a beginner. Rooted the Droid X. Bought the original droid after the locked bootloader experience. And now the NS4G because the freedom. I was able to unlock and root it -but my 3g speeds are terrible and I was hoping to find a way to increase them. Anyways - you have been very helpful and any more pointers would be great.
thanks

Ok so I got this figured out. Well - I didn't get it figured out. I read some other stuff by people that got it figured out. Here are links to the information...
Post #1
post #5
Warning I was unhappy with the results and when I tried to update my prl from settings (supposedly the solution if you wanted to revert) --it said my prl was successfully updated but the prl version # did not change.
so be careful if you want to do this.

I did this with my Nexus and I did a prl update on the phone, rebooted and the prl didn't change under the "about phone" settings but when I dialed *2 I was back on Sprint's network again. You just need to flash it back manually if you want the numbers to change.
This is a really easy tutorial to help if anybody needs it.
I got the information from different places and used words from
people in this thread, I just refined it a whole lot more...
**The "**" represent tips.**
**I Have attached all the files needed for this tutorial except for the phone drivers
and such. A few prls and notes are avalible to download from this post and all have
been organized in folders and tested by me and all of them work, some better than
others**
**BE CAREFULL, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU SCREW UP BUT IT WORKED FOR ME**
Follow the steps to force roam on Verizon, Using "QPST_2.7_build 323":
(1) ~Dial (*#*#8778#*#*) then change "PDA" to "MODEM" on the bottom selection.~
**This will allow the QPST program to recognize it.**
(2) ~Plug your phone into your computer.~
**Allow a minute or two for your computer to install any drivers for your phone.**
(3) ~Go to the "Device Manager"~
**You can use the Windows Start Menu Search and type "Device Manager", and click on it.**
(4) ~Look under "Ports (COM & LPT)" find "SAMSUNG Mobile Modem Diagnostic
Serial Port (WDM) (COM##) ... The "COM##" write it down, or remember it"~
**If you can't see it in the name, then right click and open "Properties"
and it will say under the "General" tab."**
(5) ~Then open the program "QPST Configuration"~
**It's under the "All Programs" list in the Windows Start Menu, inside the QPST folder.**
(6) ~Click "Add Port" and input the "COM##" you saw and close the window.~
(7) ~Open up "QPST Service Programming"~
**Also under the "All Programs" list in the Windows Start Menu, inside the QPST folder.**
(8) ~Click into the "Roam" tab.
(9) ~Click on "Browse" to get to the "#####.prl" file you downloaded then Click "Open"~
(10) ~click "Write to Phone."~
(11) ~Enter the service code (168132) and click "Ok."~
**At this Point your phone will reboot and you have your new prl.**
(12) ~Dial (*2) press send and listen to who's network your connected to.
(13) ~Dial (*#*#8778#*#*) then change "MODEM" back to "PDA" on the bottom selection.~
(14) ~If you want to go back just download the newest Sprint prl from:
https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=eabe29f3770d8d15&id=EABE29F3770D8D15!678
OR,
**You can do a prl update in the phone settings and reboot(Not 100% sure if that works)**
**I have also attached the newest Sprint prl at this time(6/21/2011) feel free to use it**
The stuff below is just for informational purposes.
(BIG WARNING!!!, the Manufacturer reset will erease EVERYTHING!)
**If you want to go back to your old prl DO NOT!! use this method**
{-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------}
To do a manufacturer reset, Dial: (*#*#786#*#*)
To set your preferred network type, Dial: (*#*#4636#*#*)
MSL/Service code: (168132)

Dude. We know how to do it. We need the right drivers. For some reason the ones that work for most don't work for all. PC differences most likely. Someone find me the drivers!!!!

Ok, you don't have to ack like I'm a such pain in your tucus, I spent alot of my time trying to type up such a detailed post that wasnt even meant for you but the whole XDA community. Give me more info on your pc, what OS are you running? I'm pretty good at figuring these type of things out, like what drivers are you looking for, are you even rooted yet? Did you even download the Android SDK. You didn't give enough information for me to help you. I want to help you but I don't have to help you! I could be spending time with my family right now but instead I'm trying help one particular ungratefull person. People respond better to humble kindness than to irrational comments. PM me when you get you get some real questions, and information to at least some of my questions.

Rooted? What's that? And what is Android SDK? Sorry. Wasn't trying to seem ungrateful either. You should go spend time with your family

He's not ungrateful, just frustrated like me and many others. Yes we are rooted, yes we have ADB installed (we unlocked our phones) we just can't get our phones to show up as a modem, no matter what we do.
I'm running windows XP, many are running win7. I have yet to try my win7 PC as a test
I originally used the PDA.net drivers to get ADB to work. I wonder if that is part of the problem?

yea none of us can seem to get step 4 to work

what is the phone supposed to be set to originally?
when i open that its on WCDMA preferred, then it switches to unknown by itself
*edit* i just checked my evo (deactivated) and its set to CDMA auto (PRL)
*edit* so i tried to change it to CDMA auto(PRL) then rebooted and its back to WCDMA preferred
and just how much of EVERYTHING will *#*#775#*#* erase?
*edit* i found out and it did nothing to help

*#*#8778#*#* not working for me after GJR90 update. Just me?

I haven't done a prl hack before, but my prl or profile will not update, everytime time I will update it, it always fails and when prl update fails its a big issue. I dont feel like going to sprint and getting another phone...well.. atleast not yet. so I'm gonna try this method and see if it works. So I was wondering, which prl do you guys use? I've heard some xda members say that when they hacked a prl it didn't give them any service. What specific prl is best?
Sorry for not using paragraphs ..
My data sucks real bad, I'm on 01115. Any suggestions would be good.
Thanks xda members.

Guess they might have changed the dialer codes

[FRP] LG Stylo 3 FRP Bypass - Tracfone LGL83BL

[FRP] LG Stylo 3 FRP Bypass - Tracfone LGL83BL
This phone was hard at first to figure out due to certain areas being framed in for me for whatever reason. However after Hard Resetting a few times I was able to get where i wanted to start. This tutorial is based off a handful of methods from research I did. It works perfect for this model. There is no hardware methods so this must be done manually.
I'm hoping you have some experience manually removing FRP already before reading this. I'm trying to keep it short and simple. I suck at videos but maybe I will get around to making some eventually one day.
Steps
1. HARD RESET your phone. Make sure you do this before starting the next step.
2. Connect to wifi and go back to the start and get into accessibility mode. Enable Global Context Menu by making an L shape on the screen. Goto TalkBack Settings. Once you are in press both volume keys to suspend Talkback. Scroll down to the bottom and select Help and Feedback. Click on where it says About Switch Access for Android (if this is framed in a window then hard reset and restart again). This should take you to the Help section with About Switch Access for Android at the top with a youtube video at the bottom.
3. Click the youtube video and click the share button (arrow at the top right). This should show you a box with the link highlighted. Double tap this to open up YouTube. Once youtube is opened click the share button at the top right once again and this time you will be presented with where to share to. Click on Gmail. At this point pause and create a hotmail account on another device or use one of your own if you have it handy. Yahoo did not work for me so I stuck with hotmail. Forward on into gmail and select hotmail, fill out the information, and forward on until it says Take Me To Gmail at the bottom. Click this and then click the top right 3 dots and goto settings. Click the top 3 dots again then click manage accounts. You should be in settings now.
4. Scroll down to Fingerprints and Security and click this. Goto Phone Administration and disable Android Device Manager. Next goto Apps section of Settings. Click top right 3 dots and select show all apps. Scroll down to Setup Wizard, you should see 2. Disable/Force stop and clear cache/data on both. Now scroll up to Google Account Manager and repeat previous process then onto Google Play Service doing the same. Restart your phone.
5. Suspend TalkBack by pressing both up/down volume buttons and go forward in settings until you get to wifi. Disable wifi. Follow through until you get to the EULA. Scroll down in this box until you see the Heading OptOut. This next part can be a little tricky. Tap on where it says [email protected]. A box should pop up at the bottom if it doesn't double click or click and hold. I had to double tap the area and hold before it would appear. In this box click Gmail and when prompted enable Google Play Services. After this you should arrive back where you were at OptOut section of the EULA. Tap the email again and it will take you into Gmail. Click the top right 3 dots as you did before, repeat earlier process again, and get into Settings. Go back to Fingerprints and Security and enable Unknown Sources. Next turn on wifi.
6. Go back on settings then goto Apps. Scroll down to YouTube and click it. Click Notifications then click the top right icon ( i ). Next click About then click on Google Privacy Policy and forward into the browser. Now you are going to download some apps and install them. Download these 3 apps and install/open each during the process. The apps are Sidebar / Quick Shortcut Maker / Shortcut Master Lite. Open up Sidebar by using two fingers and swiping over from the left side of the screen. Once it slides into view add all 3 apps except for sidebar to it and also add Settings. If you want to pause here and pick up later thats fine as sidebar will be able to be used even if the phone is rebooted.
7. Now click on settings and goto Apps, tap 3 dots, select show system apps and now you are going to Disable/Force Stop and clear cache/data of all these apps. Google App / Google Backup Transport / Google Calender Sync / Google Contacts Sync / Google Drive Promotion / Google One Time Init / Google Partner Setup / Google Play Services / Google Play Store / Google Services Framework / Google Text-To-Speech Engine / Setup Wizard (both).
8. Now pull into view the Sidebar and click on Shortcut Master Lite. Click on the top right 3 dots and click search. Type Setup Wizard into the bottom search field and click search. Now click on the first Setup Wizard link that shows. com.android.LGSetupWizard.SetupHomeInit and click launch.
9. You should be back at the setup screen. Forward through until you get to wifi and shut it off.
10. Now comes the last but fun part. We are going to crash the Setup Wizard. Go back to the start screen of the setup wizard and repeadtly go forward and back until the app crashes and do this until you see the home screen (remind you of iphone glitches? ha) it WILL work just have to do it many times. Once you get to the home screen, go into settings and enable developer mode then get into developer mode and enable OEM Unlock next goto Backup and Reset and reset your phone. DONE. Enjoy your phone now.
EDIT:
Here are easier more precise instructions for this last step:
Press [ARROW ICON]
Next [SKIP]
Then [NEXT]
Press [SKIP ANYWAY]
Then tap 3-4 times quickly on [BACK KEY] where you should end up on "Welcome Screen"
Repeat the above steps another time or 2 if it has not worked yet. It will! Sometimes it takes a try or two!
Alternative to Step 10. Click on quickshortcut maker from your sidebar and scroll down until you see Home and click it. You should now be past the setup wizard and onto your Home Screen. Not done just yet. Click on Shortcutmaster Lite and it will bring you to your Home Screen. Now you are officially past everything. (Pretty sure this method doesn't work for the LGL83BL but I figured I would mention it incase it just didn't work for me for w/e reason). Go into settings and enable developer mode then get into developer mode and enable OEM Unlock next goto Backup and Reset and reset your phone. DONE. Enjoy your phone now.

Also works on: LG Aristo MS210, (more to add soon)

how many times?
I have tried several times and nothing happens and my phone is exactly Tracfone LGL83BL I hope you make a video soon

It's trial and error. Just keep going back and fourth quickly and eventually it will work. You've got to be quick about it in order for it to work.

hey man, I made an account just to get help from you. I have the same problem as the guy before. Ive done all the steps correctly and got to the very last part about crashing the setup wizard. I have done it very quickly many many times and nothing seems to work. And even when it does "crash" it just opens right back up ;/

I will try to get a video up showing you what I am doing. There is pretty much nothing to it. You push forward till it errors hit ok. Go back then forward, hit ok, go back and forward. Even try going back to the beginning then all the way forward. Go back and forward through different pages of the setup wizard. Trial and error. This DOES work. Trust me. I have used it to bypass multiple LG devices so far.

Still have been too busy to edit the video and get it online. Here is another approach that *should* work. Just try pushing forward as fast as you can until you hit the error then hit ok and keep going forward. Do it quickly.

I don't have it online. I have been far to busy so I've not had the time to get around to editing it. The method is pretty simple. You shouldn't really need the video but again I understand everyone learns differently. I have noticed there are some similar ways as mine on youtube so you might find something there. In order for mine to go up I have to 1) edit 2) add sound 3) add watermark and ad's and then get it up on a youtube channel of mine I haven't entirely finished. I would just post it but I want to get the most out of my videos when i can.
Which part are you stuck on? Maybe I can help you some.

I understand completely and thanks for you're reply.
I have downloaded the LG bypass tool.exe and when I put the phone into download mode and select phone that I have nothing starts. Then I have tried the other method which is getting to a browser on the phone through the privacy statement then searching for and downloading the bypass tool straight to the phone and then I cannot find the downloaded file on the phone to extract & run it.
I'm no expert at this sort of thing but I know a little bit. Do you think rooting the device would bypass it or a new SIM card. What should I try next bc in really kinda stuck now that all info I've tried had failed or doesn't work for the LG stylo LS-777.
Thanks

You will end up doing more than just running a file to bypass it. You will have to kill running processes etc then crash the Setup Wizard. You won't be able to root it because you can't get USB Debugging enabled. New sim card won't do anything either. If you follow my method i'm sure you will bypass it. =]

Thanks will try it. Do you have an idea when your video will be ready?

Not too sure. I haven't had a while free from work yet.

So before.... long before I do this, I would like to verify that you bypassed the FRP and were able to get /su? if so we could really use some photos from your (yet to be released video) as verification... if so this is amazing but man that's a lot of steps for something to go wrong. I'm really wanting to try it. 75% of my rooting has been done on Samsung which thanks to chainfire was literally "1 click" that came sometime after the whole adb shell push /su and that good good stuff. I'll wait for your reply before I take the plunge.. its my only device as of right now so I really don't want to screw this one up rofl. Anyways thanks so much!

I have the metro pcs version of the stylo3 (lgms450) and I'm having a very difficult time bypassing the frp. So far, your method had gotten me further than any other but I'm stuck at the eula page. The email address is not, does not and will not highlight nor will any box appear at the bottom no matter how many times or the configuration of me pressing on that email address. I get a little haptic feedback but nothing else. Any ideas?

Well FRP and Superuser, rooting and what not are all different things. What we are trying to accomplish here is FRP Removal via manual method not needing root on the device. I will release the video within a few days. Don't laugh at the quality as it was done with another phone and didn't really think it would take on enough for me to put online so I didn't go for professionalism. Hey it works though and you might have to pause time to time as i go through quickly at times but you will see.
This method hasn't screwed anything up for me so far and the way it is done really in theory shouldn't. Any mess simply factory reset and it is ready again. If that fails you can flash the firmware and all will be well.

Hmm. I need to try to get ahold of that model and try a few things. All my stylos went out to customers. I might have some ideas on how to get you around all of that. Just need to test them on something similar. Have one in mind, if a friend still has it i will take a look.

@kryste1 Thank you! I figured a straight through text tutorial might help better as some of these videos are hard to understand for a lot of reasons.
