All right. I want to be a little clearer about exactly what I've done. I was in a hurry to go to work earlier and I think that I was a little vague.
I'm following the tutorial and I'll explain in detail how I responded to each step:
1: Check your Windows\startup folder for "HTC_CM_Guardian.lnk", which is a shortcut to Windows\HTC_CM_Guardian.exe. If the shortcut exists delete it. If not then you probably have a newer Sprint ROM which doesn't have the shortcut to launch that application. It is still launching it in some other way however and I have not been able to figure it out from searching forums and the web. The general consensus is to replace the file with a dummy file that I've attached (extract from the zip). Download the attached file and replace "Windows\HTC_CM_Guardian.exe" with the dummy file which will prevent it from running.
I checked my windows folder, but I'm using Juicy 4.3 and I think that this file is not included in the ROM. In any case, it is not there.
2: Rename the following files and folders:
Windows\iota.exe ---> windows\iotaOLD.exe
Windows\iotaconf.txt ---> windows\iotaconfgOLD.txt
Program Files\IOTA ---> Program Files\IOTAOLD
Once again, these files are not in my windows folder. I'm not sure what effect these files have on my connection, but I was unable to edit them.
3: Open your phone and enter ##778#, select "EDIT" and enter your unlock code.
I did this with no problem. My unlock code was just 000000.
4: Set the following values:
M.IP Settings:
MIP_MODE = Simple IP Only
M.IP Default Profile:
NAI = yourtendigitphonenumber@mymetropcs.com
Home Address = 0.0.0.0 (just delete the values and save)
Primary HA Address = 0.0.0.0 (just delete the values and save)
Secondary HA Address = 0.0.0.0 (just delete the values and save)
Security:
HDR AN AUTH User Id = yourtendigitphonenumber@mymetropcs.com
PPP USER ID = yourtendigitphonenumber@mymetropcs.com
PPP PASSWORD = metropcs
My number is 972-781-8284, so I used the following:
M.IP Settings:
MIP_MODE =
Simple IP Only
M.IP Default Profile:
NAI =
9727818284@mymetropcs.com
Home Address = 0.0.0.0 (
set to 0.0.0.0)
Primary HA Address = 0.0.0.0 (
set to 0.0.0.0)
Secondary HA Address = 0.0.0.0 (
set to 0.0.0.0)
Security:
HDR AN AUTH User Id =
9727818284@mymetropcs.com
PPP USER ID =
9727818284@mymetropcs.com
PPP PASSWORD = set to
metropcs
5: Goto Connections and delete any existing connections and setup a new one using the following settings:
Number to dail = #777
Username: yourtendigitphonenumber@mymetropcs.com
Password: metropcs
Domain: (Leave Blank)
Select Proxy Settings and enter the following values:
wap.metropcs.net port:3128 (http)
wap.metropcs.net port:3128 (wap)
wap.metropcs.net port:443 (secure wap)
wap.metropcs.net port:3128 (socks)
I changed my settings to this:
Number to diall =
#777
Username:
9727818284@mymetropcs.com
Password:
metropcs
Domain: (
Left Blank)
I set my proxies to the following values:
wap.metropcs.net port:3128 (http)
wap.metropcs.net port:3128 (wap)
wap.metropcs.net port:443 (secure wap)
wap.metropcs.net port:3128 (socks)
So I click on the new connection and select the "Connect" option. It tries to connect and then it says that my username and password is wrong for #777. I try to go on the web and it won't connect. Also, when I go back and look at the connection, it deletes what I entered for the http option in the proxy settings. The other 3 settings are still there (wap, secure wap, and socks).
I'm not sure what else to try. I used the *228 option and updated my PRL firmware. It still doesn't let me connect. Please help!!!
