If u have your phone provisioned already, (which it sounds like you do... You have data, right?) go back to that link I posted with the metro apns, and you will find a ton of cdma/dfs settings to get 3g working. Again, jd, the guy who runs that site it VERY helpful and actually helped me get 3g here in atlanta.

MMS should be working, you dont need to flash anything else. you could try wiping everything and flashing it again. just make sure you wipe everything :)
 
I have tried to reflash 3 times! Wiped data, cache, and dalvik. Everything pretty much without wiping the whole phone. And still everything works like it should but sending and receiving MMS? any thoughts? I could really use the help! Thank you!
And yes my data is on! It is still set to S-off. I just can't figure it out :'( help please! ? ? ?

im running metrogenmod 4.5 right now and everything is working perfectly (including mms) i did have a problem with sending screenshots but pictures send perfectly.
if its still now working you can flash any other rom. im always running sense 3.5 roms and have mms working, all i do is flash mms fix and it works perfect.

That's what I was looking for was the right fix but the ones I tried didn't work. I also didn't know sprint mattered lol

well this rom is made to have mms for metro without a fix but i like the look of sense roms so im running a sense 3.5 rom and i flashed the mms fix and everything works perfectly.
and oh yea it doesnt matter if you have sprint thats why its called METROgen mod and thats why kelso did not give a warning on the OP :p

Gotcha. I was under the impression that the metropcs mod changed some of the MMS settings from sprint to metro. My bad.

I was just playing. It does matter. I got the thread confused with the other metrogen mod thread where he has the metro and sprint version and he writes a warning saying to only flash metrogen mod if you have metro. My bad lol
It does change the values. If you are on sprint there is kelsomod which is kelso's version of cm7 for sprint

Yea kelso has another thread where he has a metro and a sprint rom and I thought it was this one.
Ri25tch you are on metro right?

I found the Kelsomod and is working great! Thank you! No I am on sprint. I was under the impression that it did not matter if I had sprint. but I was wrong :-) but I had a quick question about its kernel. I found and flashed tiamat for it but when I go into my settings and look at my kernel version it says 2.6.37.6 cyanogenmod g0799e00. Shouldn't it say tiamat or something?

If you installed the kernal correctly, the kernal should be different/labeled differently in "about phone" what is your process for flashing? What recovery do u use? Amon ra is greatly recommended over clock work mod.
 
Simply boot into recovery,
1) wipe cache, wipe dalvik (wipe both twice to be sure.
2) Flash kernal (some people wipe cache/dalvik after kernal flash in addition to wiping before the flash)
3) reboot.
Go check 'about phone' in the software u should see updated kernal

I tried both clockwork and manually flashing. Neither worked. when I flash my roms they stay in my downloads file. what it make a difference if my kernels are in my downloads ? my process is the same as my Roms. create a backup. Wipe my caches. flash the new one and reboot.
 
When you flash a Rom you should be doing a LOT more wiping than when you flash a kernel. Caches aren't enough for a Rom.

Try redownloading the kernel
