Hello everyone. I have metropcs service and an Audiovox Verizon XV 6700 phone. I read on this site http://flash-ppc6700-xv6700.neaturl....-MetroPCS.aspx on how to set it up. i got all the up to the esn part. all i was going to do was clone my phones esn since i already had the service. the thing is the phone is a samsung spex and i cant find the esn number. its not on the back. there numbers are to long . is there somewhere else to look? please help. also i got the prl on the phone but it still says verizon when i boot.

oh and one thing, my phone says HTC Inovattion or something like that. Not Apache, but its an XV6700

somebody please help

If the ESN isnt under the battery then I would suggest going through is software interface and settings to look and see if it can be displayed on the screen. Apache or PPC6700 or XV6700 are all the same, Just different carriers.

On the samsung if I remember correctly you should be able to go to settings and info to fing the esn

The Spex uses a MEID code instead of an ESN. The MEID format is newer than ESN--there are more digits in each MEID, too.

If you have an ESN-based phone on your account now, you might be able to get your 6700 to work transparently, but AFAIK it's not possible to emulate a MEID phone with an ESN one.

Good luck.

Hmmmmmm... Thanks for the info. iguess i either keep the crappy samsung or the great XV6700. Since metroflash is not in the Philly area I guess i will be looking for a new carrier. anybody know which metrophone uses esn?

Will Metro accept your 6700's ESN? If they will then you can just update the PRL with a metro one. Did you ever get it out of bootloader?

any old metro phone will work, they're using meid becuase they ran out of esn's

i used a samsung r400, cloned, updated prl, and called metro, told them i hard reset my r400 n had them "over the air program"(automatically programs phone) it and i was good to go
