WAP
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. NOTE: This file is what resets your Sprint connection to its default settings despite editing these settings. Disabling this file by deleting or replacing it is critical. You may need to use a program such as Resco File Explorer or another File Explorer utility to overwrite/delete/rename Read-Only or ROM files.
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 NOTE: renaming the IOTA folder is probably all that is needed however I found the files as well and renamed them for good measure and haven't had a problem.

3: Open your phone and enter ##778#, select "EDIT" and enter your unlock code.
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
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)
6: Back in the "Connections" screen where you have two tabs at the bottom of the screen of "Tasks" and "Advanced", go to Advanced, click on "Select Networks" and select the name of the connection you just setup. Example if you leave as Sprint then choose that one as your internet connection and do it for both settings.
MMS
MAKE SURE YOUR WEB IS WORKING PROPERLY (ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS) AS YOU CAN'T HAVE MMS WITHOUT WORKING INTERNET!!!!! Remove/Uninstall any existing MMS composer you have attempted to setup. Also a good idea to remove any registry keys it may have created that are left behind after the uninstall.
1: Install Arcsoft MMS version 5.0.70.24 from Verzion. Too big to post here and I'm a bit nervous about the whole 7 day ban thing so you'll have to find it on your own. Google for "GC VZW Arcsoft MMS 5.0.70.24" and you should find it for download.
2: Open your Messaging and click on the SMS/MMS option.
3: Click on "Menu" and select "MMS Options" then select the "Servers" tab.
4: Add a new server with the following settings:
Server Name: metropcs
Gateway: wap.metropcs.net Port number: 3128 Server address: http://mms.metropcs.net:3128/mmsc Connect via: SELECT EITHER THE CONNECTION YOU SETUP ABOVE OR "The internet" Send limit: 399K
5: Click "Done" and then set the new server as default.
6: Using a Registry Editor edit the following values: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader]
DELETE KEY -> "X-VzW-MDN"
ADD STRING -> "X-metropcs-MDN"="XXXXXXXXXX" ( Insert your 10 digit phone Number )
ADD STRING -> "X-DEVICE-MIN"="1XXXXXXXXXX" ( Insert your 10 digit phone Number WITH the 1 in front of it )

Hope this works, If I helped, hit the thanks button...
I've tried to follow all of these directions and I have gotten the internet to work twice, but those 2 times were days apart. The biggest problem that I am having is finding the files that need to be changed. I am unable to locate the htc_guardian file and I am also unable to find any of the "iota" files. Is there any special program or tricks to find these files. Can someone please help me with this, I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND, everyone makes it sound so easy but I just don't see it. I have a htc touch pro, and using mighty rom 4.8.
