You have done fairly well, but I think you need to follow this guide.

You just follow the section for enabling web.
also you dont need to dial anything to get it into a setting.

HOW TO: Fully Flash an HTC Droid Eris to Metro PCS (Tutorial v2.0)

when you connect your lg phone with debugging enabled it is ready to go get the port # if you dont have it lgnpst will tell you the port.

Are you sure the web part of that guide is compatible with the Optimus M?

Thank you so much new optimus! I'd rather get help from you than metropcs customer support. "Can i get your 8 digit pin?" NO I NEED HELP......

When i need to put my phonenumber@mymetropcs.com do i need to put # after my phone number or is that seperating the # from the @?

Not sure if you got it already but you dont put # in there.

it should look like this, this is a made up number sorry if it is actually in use.

if this turns out to work we need a posted guide with a sticky!

So this does not work?

No putting the prl from another carrier does not work, unless your part of that carrier, such as boost mobile and virgin using sprint prl.

they are all sprint running on sprint towers so they will be compatible.
metropcs is not part of another company so they will not have compatible prls.

 

[DreamRaider]

But how do some people report putting Verizon Prl's in sprint phone's for better signal?

 

[new optimus]

Roaming agreement, sprint phones though not boost mobile or virgin can roam on verizon and if you live in an area with more verizon towers you should be able to connect to them.

well, for me it didn't not work, used a sprint prl n provisioned a la the eris link earlier in this thread, n had service but no 3g icon.
unfortunately my fon crashed so i LGNPST'd back to stock n didn't get around to reprovisioning or whatever using prl3026 in place of sprint prl
on another note, i think *228 reverts everything, so im gonna try this again...

Hello, wuite monkeying around. If the new 4g towers are up and running in your area, just dial *228 and set the roaming option up. That will install the NEW 3026PRL for you.
