How to Flash MOTOROLA DROID to Cricket: 2.2 Froyo FULL apps,web,mms - xda-developers

Browse those and read, read, read.

You could always see if metro pcs would flash it for you. I know that in arizona cricket will flash it over to their system for you.

Hate to bump an old thread, But I recently got my droid to actually keep a charge and im wondering what directions I'd have to alter to make it work for metro? I know I found some metro instructions awhile ago but I cant find them now. Unless im thinking about the 3g instructions.

try this thread, I don't have metro pcs


HOW-TO Provision Motorola Droid Pro to Metro

The only thing thats stopping me from doing that one is that its droid pro, Also my indulge is not in service. But thank you, I have one question though. My droid is rooted to 2.2, And most guides are for 2.1 Will this affect it at all? I havent used my moto droid in forever.

oops, missed the pro part, you'll need someone with more experience to answer the 2.1 to 2.2 question

Damnit, I wish there was more info on this.

Found this.

This is to clear something up... Please read Carefully..

There is a huge difference between flashing and having your phones esn added to MetroPCS.

Flashing your phone does not mean the esn is automaticly added to MetroPCS.

1. Flashing the phone Consists of Modifying the phones settings inorder to work on the MetroPCS network.. This includes modifying the prl settings, wap settings, the mip settings, and the mms settings of your phone.. Just because you change these your self does not mean that metro pcs will automaticly add your esn and your done..

2. ESN adding is done through Houdini.. This is the only legal way to have your esn on MetroPCS. Flashing your phone yourself will not get your esn on metro's network not even if you can dial *228 and get the customer service line.. There is no legal way other than Houdini to add your esn to metros network..

If you take it apon your self to Flash or modify your phone you should realize that you will still have to pay to have your service acquired through metro pcs.. The phone must be Houdini Flashed an allowed to enter Metro's esn data base and billing data base..

MARKETS THAT DO NOT SUPPORT THE METRO FLASHING:

Understandable. I recently heard metro has been shutting down the MMS service of flashed phones, Is the internet service going away too?
