Metropcs Flash FAQ's

[fred_dj]

Due to a huge increase in the PMs i've been receiving I decided to post here some links for the search lazys:

The famous question: " How do I flash my mogul to MetroPCS? "

Well, I wish the answer was easy. But in a few words, Metropcs will not flash the mogul for you and it will not Activate a mogul into their network even if you say that you have it flashed already. ( Unless you are a lucky one to get a nice Metropcs Employee that will do it for you )

How does it work ?

To have the mogul activated on Metropcs network you need:

1- Your Mogul's ESN entered in Metropcs' system under your account.
2- Basic Settings in your Mogul entered the right way ( NAM, SID, Etc... )
3- The Latest Metropcs PRL in your phone.

Most people get stuck in step number one, because just a few people got their phones LEGALLY activated with metro. Like this one here: http://www.howardforums.com/showthre...57&page=1&pp=1

What most people do is Clone an existing and active Metropcs handset to the mogul. That is NOT LEGAL. That's why we do not discuss STEP NUMBER 1 here in this forum. A lot of people ask why dont we "share the knowledge" , well that's why. The fact that we do not discuss this here doesn't mean that this is not possible... remember Google is your best friend. Also this post here may give you some hints: http://www.mobile-files.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=54188

Now, for those who got Step number one done, read these posts:

There are some other tweaks and settings for your mogul to work with metro, so feel free to ask here and ALWAYS SEARCH.

It's very important to understand why it's not so clear how to flash your mogul to metro. It's because it may involve ilegal procedures.
