Houdini Steps to flash Touch Pro to metroPCS

[earmbrust]

So I'm trying to find the steps and requirements for Houdini to flash a Sprint Touch Pro to metroPCS. Apparently, the guys at the store near here are totally unable to get it to flash to metro. So if anyone can layout the steps for me, that would be great. That way, I can take the instructions and the phone in to these guys to have them do it.

I don't want to know about reprogramming (MMS, WAP, etc) but actually using Houdini to enter the ESN into their system and whatnot.

Thanks in advance!

Are you kidding the dealer doesn't know how to Metro flash or is the phone just having issues.
Have you read through the Metro forum on HoFo http://howardforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=335 if the issue has ever came up those guys would definately know. Not saying nobody here would but HoFo's Metro forum is full of good info geared for Metro PCS.

They didn't even know how to get to the three color screen, or what a "hard reset" meant. No, I'm not kidding. (Sadly. Very sadly.)

Since I don't personally know how to use Houdini (never worked with it) I can't tell them what they need to do. I know this probably sounds crazy, but for some reason people around this area seem to be technologically inept. Thanks for the heads up about the HoFo metro area. Didn't realize there was one. I'll copy/collect the information I find, if I find what I'm looking for. Hopefully it can, but won't need to, help someone else down the road.

As per houdini's instructions for programming before houdini program will recognize device.

• Set Phone In DIAG mode before Provisioning.

  • (For Verizon and Alltel)
  • Press green talk button to bring up Dial pad.
  • Enter ##3424 then press "Green Talk Button" on the bottom left of the phone.
  • Load Drivers if prompted, files can be found in Downloads section of the helpdesk.
  • (For Sprint)
  • Enter ##3424# instead. Then follow instructions above.

There is no need to be rude! I was just wondering if anyone would help me do it. And its not a touch. Its similar to a blackberry.
