Re: First Touch Pro2 on MetroPCS!

I'm in oakland, and was able to update the prl by hand by dialing ##778 and going into epst. I have a vzw tp2. but, I've gone to two different metropcs shops, one being a corporate store, and they can't the ESN into the metro inventory.

when I go into EPST, I dial "000000" for the security code, so I think I already set that MSL if I'm not mistaken.

however, I can't get the phone to come up on diag mode by dialing ##3424, nor ##3424#, nor ##3424##. nada. I was thinking that would help houdini load the drivers necessary the phone to be recongized, because I was told the tp2 wasn't being seen by houdini when the usb was plugged in.

My guess is this: at the beginning/middle or end of Houdini running it won't say "PASSED" until the MSL is verified at 000000. Since we are tricking it with TP info, it probably isn't writing that part correctly and so it fails it at the end.

By us doing it manually it does everything else and when it finally checks the MSL and sees that its at 000000, then it passes it and therefore passes the ESN into METROPCS inventory.

Let me try and do this on my TP2 I just got, if it works anyone in the Bayarea and I can point you to my source as well.

In the meantime thanks for the info all...
