can you tell if this version of the update is different from the tmobile ota? would there be a difference if we just used the method of updating with the tmobile version that we already had? besides the bloatware obviously...i mean i would rather wait for someone to make a flashable zip of this since i am on metro, but if it doesnt make a difference and if nobody makes a zip, does it really matter?

 

[viperdink]

Its 6.0

MetroPCS/g4stylusn_mpcs_us/g4stylusn:6.0/MRA58K/161201338a17f:user/release-keys

My wife and I both have MetroPCS phones.

Mine is rooted. Hers unrooted/stock.

I flashed the T-Mobile kdz and updated to MM...I do not have Advanced Text Messaging.

I just update my wife's phone to MM last night and she has the Advanced Text Messaging....so far, this is the main difference I see. Also, I cannot change the shortcuts on my lockscreen...she can.

Thanks Viper.....A user in XDA did a de-bloated T-Mobile MM "stock" ROM but I'm not sure if it is working. Still a long process even with the zip file.

At least someone is trying....Seems like no active devs for a custom ROM for this phone.

The biggest issue for me with Metro Stylo + Tmo MM was Wifi issue. As some people experienced, I too had choppy Wifi connection so I had to use 4G wireless for internet surfing then eventually went back to Karana Rom.

Its been only few hours but it seems like Wifi works much better on Metro MM imo.

I've been trying the oem unlock. but it keeps telling me there is no fastboot internal or external command. It's driving me nuts.

 

[DB225]

ok, I finally figured out what was going on. ADB was installing on my PC, but fastboot wasn't. I'm all good now.

So, you did this on the Metro MM update?

 

[ghet2rockuu]

yes

Make sure you are using the real kingroot. Lots of fakes in the playstore

 

[jahunt78]

i have the kingroot from them for the stylo that was linked here in another thread

 

[jahunt78]

weird i think the 4th time the root took

 

[jahunt78]

upon a manual rooboot i got a modified message and just boot loops there, so down grade again.

does it matter if i set the date/time while i was charging? i was at like 65% and figured i'd give it a shot but its saying its up to date...hopefully when i get to 90-100 something pops up...
