I was connected to MetroPCS flashed and running a stock Sprint ROM 1.9____. Please help? I was trying to go with a newer rom to see if it would speed up the phone but now im worse off. Would I be able to fix this by going to something like Juicy 8 ROM because on HTC site it says DO NOT go back to an older version once ROM 2.0 has been installed.

This is the upgrade I did.

EDIT: Phone is unlocked and verified at bootloader screen.

EDIT2: I went back to my OLD stock Sprint ROM regardless of what it said on the site and STILL no service, though when I get into the Phone screen it shows MetroPCS on the upper left corner and also in the upper phone management tabs in the service tab.

EDIT 3: Got the Phone now working on Juicy 8 no worries but STILL no service. I really hope I don't need to get re-flashed I don't see how I could've messed that up.

Hi, if you are a metropcs customer and flash a shipped Sprint rom from HTC site, it will probably screw up your network settings and they will need to be manually inputted. I unfortunately am no expert on this but there are some threads out there about getting data/calls working for metropcs. Hopefully someone with metro can chime in with some solutions. I am confident you can get this set up again properly.

by the way, tried to pm you but it said I could not send you a pm for some reason? strange. something about your settings do not allow pm to be received. just wanted to let you know.
