First Touch Pro2 on MetroPCS! - Page 4

I finished all the steps, and *223/*611 both show MetroPCS, but every time I start this thing up it keeps putting up a message about a failed data call. I know it's sprint screwing with things, but does anyone know how to kill it?

There is a final step... There is a service on the phone called CM_Guardian that is continuously resetting your connection to Sprint settings. Remove this. Sorry, meant to put that in the walkthrough. I believe To do this, set the following key in the registry:

HKLM\Services\CMGuardian
Flags = 4 (it's a DWORD if it doesn't exist.)

They also said if I flash it to MetroPCS and later decide I'm not happy with Metro that I WON'T be able to flash the phone back to SprintPCS.

It seems from this thread folks are figuring ways to make the phone more operational. Has anyone gotten the GPS and MetroPCS web surfing, email, etc. to work?

Is it true the phone can't be flashed back to Sprint if I don't like the Metro PCS service?

Anyone out there who could make my phone fully work on METRO PCS for a fee?

Thanks in advance!

ALL FEATURES BUT MMS ARE WORKING!
As for flashing to sprint, I can flash it back to Sprint within 10 seconds. That's how easy it is. All you have to do is change the PRL Back. Where do you live? Anywhere near Atlanta? I'll do it all for a fee.

For this I wish I lived in Atlanta! I'm in LA

CMGuardian was eliminated already, and another check shows it not in the registry and not running. I followed the instructions here:

Quote:

1: Download Dot Fred's Task Manager and goto services. Stop the CM_Guardian. Then Highlight it and find it in the registry. Once in the Registry highlight CM_Guardian and remove the complete directory.

I have attached an image of what I'm getting.

did you find any type of iota file we need to delete? Btw, I think im close to cracking MMS, only thing I'm trying to figure out is that it starts running this page that says device configuration, which is what I think is hindering it from being sent, any sugguestions how to turn it off?

I have the dealer plan on mine, in an area where I barely have 1 bar of reception I'm getting 118kb p/s which I found out by using dslreports mobile speed test on opera browser 9.5
