take the battery out and place it back in. (don't turn the phone on). plug in the usb and keep holding the camara button, when Odin recovery shows up press the volume up button.

if you dont know how to use this be careful I dont want people talking shite for killing their phones :)...

Im making a Settings file that will bring back 3g and MMS,Market and all the goodies without going hack crazy
Dont forget to say Thanks Ass*ole ;)
 
i finally got the data servies to work after weeks of trying the steps in this forum.

Thanks for the help all, but i suggest you explain everything in detail. the reason why it wasnt working for me. was that the userid in the pip-an and um tab wasnt clear, i was putting my name instead of myphone@mymetropcs.com

now i just need to do the mms to work.
 
You guy's (DevTeam members) are awesome! You guys saved my sanity! Thanks a million percent. Everything you said worked like a charm, the MMS never went down so I didn't need to do that part anyway. Everything Works!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
 
@Yodel215 how did you get the mms to work? or how did it already worked explain cause when i upgraded the mms doesnt work so i had to downgrade

I just never got around to programming the MMS from the tutorial. I checked my phone to see what was to be after the "MarketAccess" app (the last step in the tutorial before programming your MMS), and all is well. This thread worked wonders for my bricked admire.
 
could someone still using the 2.3.6 upgrade please upload their startup and shutdown sounds, as well as the coresponding .qmg files for the animation type files for start up and shut down? i can help you locate the files if you need, they should be in:

/system/bin/samsungloop
/system/bin/bootanimiation

/system/media/bootani.qmg
/system/media/samsungani.qmg

/system/media/video/shutdown
all shutdown.png files

/system/media/audio/ui/shutdown.ogg

/etc/poweron.wav

I'd be forever greatful to whoever can help. i want to see if i can get rid of the annoying metro startup and shutdown S***.

thanks
 
If someone have a working 2.3.4 OS in the android can you do this for me.

get me the prop name for that holds the MetroPCS name in it.

How to do that....
1-Enable debug mode in your phone
2- Download and install the phone driver from Samsung (I think most have it already installed)
3- Download Java JDK and Android SDK (no need to download anything after installing Android SKD)
4- Copy the link for the ADB utility in the Android SDK folder (In my case it is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools")
5- Go to Start-->Run or in the Search box type "CMD".
6- The command prompt will pop up ... type "cd" follow by space than paste the link of the ADB folder .... hit enter, this should get you into the adb folder
6- type "adb shell" and hit enter (this should get you connected to the phone by the adb utility)
7- If you want to use the ADB with root privileges type "SU" and hit enter and from your phone click on "Yes" To allow the ADB to have root privileges.

** Now Type "getprop" and a list of properties and their values should show up .... I am looking at the property that contains the MetroPCS values... it should be next to operator.alpha ... I also would like to know the operator.numeric and the operator.iso-country

Thanks

note :::: to copy things from the CMD right-click with the mouse and select "Mark" after that select the text from the CMD and hit "Enter" than you could paste your selection anywhere.
 
i have mms and market and calling but no data. i trying to connect to qpst but it doesnt see my phone, please pm me
 
I remember using this, even if samsung releases this for metro, i wouldn't recommend, eats up battery toooo much. removing bloat ware + adding the speed tweaks is almost the same thing..
 
Nope its all really piece meal ! 2.3.6 is still not 100% carrier and samsung compatable. i
don't think any one here would accept this as a new phone release from any carrier, Even metroshite>>>>
 
Lots of great information here . I want to root and move a Cricket Samsung SCH-R720 Vitality ( same as Samsung Admire so I've read) to Page Plus Cellular ( Verizon MVNO ) . I think that there is enough here to get me started ( noob )but I would like to have a quick summary of what to do specifically for setting it up on Page Plus Verizon MVNO (voice, mms, data)- Thanks


 
i have a rooted samsung admire from metro and i cannot send picture messages, it'll keep on loading.. i think that i had mistakenly took off something i needed on there.. HELPPPPP :(
 
For the texting can we use copies of the 2.3.4 and put them on the 2.3.6 would that work? if so does anyone have the files?
 
copy it to your sd card. start your my files program, click on it,let it install and it will be in your apps drawer. then you can run it from there or put it on any of your desktops if you want.
