Alright guys.
I am usually a person that never seeks out help of any kind and I am more of a contributor and I always try to help others in whatever they need, but for once, I do seem I am stock. x.x
The ROMs works great (Aside from the front camera and data which is already known.) I do know a lot of people got their phone (meaning the ACTUAL phone -Make calls, text, etc-) by doing a full factory reset either by flashing the phone in download mode using the LGMobileSupport Tool or using the provided KDZ firmware files. I flashed my phone both ways (meaning, I tried on and it didn't work then tried the other after a while of using it and it did not work either.)
I cannot get any signal on my phone (Aside that one time I went out and I got a few bars, but couldn't make calls or text aside from calling *228 for programming.) One time, I messed with the network mode settings and managed to receive one text and calls, but I still couldn't send one or make a call.
When I look at settings, I see that service state is "Out of Service" and the mobile network state is "Disconnected". Also, one thing to note is that I did restored back to a backup I had (BrokenOut) and temporarily installed LauncherPro to access the MetroPCS Hidden Menu. When I looked at the Prgoramming, my MDN, MIN, and Home SID where all 0. It is as if my SIM card got completely unprogrammed. To me, it is the only logical expalnation since flashing back to complete stock (even directly through the LGMobileSUpport Tool) should have fixed it right away. With this in mind, I am inclined to believe it must be something that is not natively part of the phone itself, such as the SIM.
If any of you find a solution, please let me know.I have been without a phone for almost a week. lol A good start is trying to port the MetroPCS Hidden Menu APK since it seems to be set to work only on GIngerBread. NOw, I did try using the MetroPCSHiddenMenu.apk from the LG Motion 4G and placed it in my system apps, but it did not work, probably because the Motion 4G runs on ICS and CM is a modded JB.
Ok. DieandGo:
I did the same thing to my phone (zeroed info). 4G was still there, surprisingly but NO phone. Not even *228. I managed to bring my phone back to life, enduring a horrendous Saturday night QPST 2.7 battle trying to force PRL 3032 back to my phone. YOU WILL NEED SPC CODE FOR QPST!!!
First, go here and download PRL 3032:
MetroPCS Latest PRL and HTC EVO: New PRL Released [3032]
Second, download QPST 2.7 build (I have build 366). I also forgot the link, but it's easy to find anyway. You may try using LGNPST, but that POS wouldn't even pick up any info on my phone except that I was running ZVA. No Go.
Configuring QPST to route your phone to the server is the biggest hurtle. I borrowed this from XDA, this is actually the most detailed way I found to fire your phone up in QPST config as well as flash the PRL:
9.) Open "QPST Configuration" from PC (Start Button > type QPST into search bar )
10.) Select "Add New Port"
11.) Uncheck "Show Serial and USB/QC Diagnostic ports only" and the port your phone is currently plugged into should pop up. Select it and hit OK
12.) Make sure the port your phone is plugged into is highlight and on the menu bar click "Start Client" > SERVICE PROGRAMMING.
13.) Hit OK, as the only device showing should be your phone.
13.) A new window will pop up. Select the "Roam" tab. Near the bottom of the window click "Read from Phone" and input your MSL Code here.
14.) Hit the "Browse..." option and find the PRL you want to flash to your phone. Hit OK and press "Write to Phone" You will get an error, which is normal.
15.) Reset your phone, this is important and it happens automatically on HTC Sense ROM's for the changes to take effect. IT doesn't happen automatically on CM/AOSP ROM's so needs to be done manually.
I had to try flashing PRL 3032 repeatedly because of failure errors reported by the phone. Try once, try 50 times. Don't read phone from service page, go right to roam tab where the PRL flash tool is, launch a PRL sneak attack without reading the phone data, try anything. You will know when it finally accepts the PRL, phone will immediately reboot and cut off of QPST server. If and when it finally reboots, it will still have no SVC. Do a KDZ flash with VV3, then factory recovery with PWR and VOL- and see if that finally does the trick. It may work for you, it may not but we can hope!
OH, AND: The CM10 open phone settings already entail most of what MPCS has in their hidden menus. If you want to be able to access those menus without repeatedly having to enter your service code, download the Elixir2 app. VERY useful, access any hidden menus and read every function and operation from every corner of your phone. BE CAREFUL with changing ANY settings, most importantly TELEPHONY settings, you may KO your radio again, BE WARNED!!
So there you go. That's all I can give, adderall is wearing off, gotta report for grunt duty in a few hours. May the force be with you, Hollah back if that helped any, or if it didn't, or if you need help with anything above, HMU with a PM
