Ok, I have a X, I rooted the added gummy 1.8 then flashed to metro pcs with mms and internet. Recently updated to gummy 2.5, lost my internet and mms. I am not paying another $40 to do this when I can probably add it myself. anyone know how to do this please include detailed instructions! thank you for your time.:confused:
 
I'm not very familiar with what you're talking about. What is metro pcs? And what did you have to pay $40 bucks to get?
 
Metro pcs is a carrier like Verizon or sprint. I took a Verizon phone and made it a metro pcs phone. It cost $40 to do it, seeing I lost Internet and mms it will cost another $40 to get it put back on, but I know it is just some basic programing. I dont want to pay $40 every time I flash or update ROM.
 
I think you might be the only person that uses metro pcs.

I have heard of it, and seen it. Not popular around here.

Without having your DX working on their network, I suspect they have to load a special set of Cell tower codes and locations. My understanding is this is called the PRL.

I am new to CDMA networks but GPRS has a similar issue.

I suspect MetroPCS towers and network loads this info to your DX when you paid your $40 the first time. Might be able to get them to do it again for free, since you are a current customer. Just tell them you did a factory reset and now it doesn't work.

If that won't work I don't know how else you can get the list updated. Without getting one from another MetroPCS customer.

Guesses on my part. But I think that is why your phone is lost. The DX is a VZ device and anytime you reload to stock, it has a VZ PRL on it.

This is the minor limitation of not having a SIM card. ON GPRS networks, the different SIM card prompts the new network to request an updated list.

This is how you can get a Iphone on the T-mobile network but you lose 3G data (wrong frequency bands). Well as long as its not a 3Gs or a 4G.
 
I don't deserve too much praise, I was reading a thread at xda and realized that might help OP. Accidentally on purpose. haha
 
The link ended up being just a little helpful, this is what I really needed
You will need:
-CDMA WS 3.5 (2.7 will work) GOOGLE
-Android SDK http://rapidshare.com/files/38466371...04-windows.zip
-Root Explorer (optional) Android Market
-Hardware Virtual Serial Port http://rapidshare.com/files/38466156...ngle_3-1-0.exe
-Motorola A855 USB drivers http://rapidshare.com/files/38465759..._bit_4.2.0.zip (32bit Drivers)
-Autostart.sh and U2nl (thanks to whiterabbit). Download precompiled arm binary. Save autostart.sh and U2nl in C:\android\tools\
Android - whiterabbit.org
-Autostart (Root) from Market
-NV Items from whiterabbit.org
First step is to make sure you have the drivers installed on your computer, and you also need to have Android SDK installed on your computer.
You will need to root the phone, key here is to make sure the kernel you load supports iptables.

Root and ROM: Please Root and flash a ROM before you start this tutorial. If you flash a ROM after you may lose your settings. I recommend Adamz or Bugless Beast because I have confirmed these settings to work on these ROMs.

Now that your Droid is Rooted and has a custom ROM, let’s get started.

NV Items:
Go to Android - whiterabbit.org, enter your10digit#@mymetropcs.com as the login string, click 2.7 or 3.5 depending on which version of CDMS WS you have then click generate. It should download a text file. These are your NV items.

Hold down “T” on the keypad and power on phone.

Plug into computer and open HW Virtual Serial Port

In HWVS set the IP address to 192.168.16.2 and the port to 11008, choose the com port you wish to use and click Create COM. (For this tutorial we will use COM5)

Open CDMA WS and connect to COM5.

On security tab send SPC 000000.

Go to “Memory” tab and click write under NV items, find the downloaded NV items and select them.

It should then say NV items were successfully written to phone.

Go to Main tab and click mode reset.

You can now close HWVS and CDMA WS and open cmd.exe on your computer.

Once phone reboots go to the market using WI-FI and download and install Autostart (Root).

Open the Voice Dialer on the phone and say “Open APNs” and click open.

Click on the Verizon APN and edit everything to match below. If there are no APN’s create a new one:
