im pretty sure it is possible i know a dude that say he does them but wont tell me how he wants 100 dollars yes the sim has the progrmming but if you connect to cdma workshop change from ruim only to nv only
you can program everything and write prl but in nv only the meid wrong this phone has meid pesn and imei in nv only meid shows as wat is really the imei and esn is different in nv only oh and if you take the sim out before you program it has no signal but after you write prl it does get signal i can dial out and all and when i program everything sticks my problems is i dont know how to get it on metropcs network the meid is not really a meid number its 990000832785887
I didn't think of changing it to nv, let me look into that meid, I've seen a weird meid on a previous phone I cloned, I wonder if its similar..

No offense but why do people want to take nice phones and gimp them on MetroPCS? The service is garbage. If you want prepaid, then get it flashed to PagePlus if anything (many times you don't even need to flash anything, it will just work after activating and programming OTA). There are a couple decent phones on Metro (LG Connect or LG Esteem, namely), it's easier (and probably cheaper) than getting a Verizon phone finally working on their network properly.

Well from previously working for MetroPCS, i can honesty say there are some area other carriers don't have any service in that metro does because they have their own towers, and if there in MetroPCS 3g coverage then i don't see how they would "gimp" there phone plus if they wanna pay 1/3 of there monthly price on Verizon i don't see why not..
An alternative people could use is unlocking there bionic and use a prepaid gsm carrier like simple mobile.

Simple Mobile is also pretty terrible (I am a Simple Mobile dealer myself). Does Metro even actually have 3G? I remember when their 4G LTE started (which from my testing is slower than Sprint's 3G coverage), they only had 1x and 4G, but no 3G.

Yea they've put 3g up almost everywhere they have coverage. They used to only have 1x which was terrible

I'm pretty sure my ESN is bad. I did a similar thing but still have the ESN on my account for Verizon. You can just unlock it and it will work assuming the SIM card slot will unlock.

If you hurry up and spend the $6 to get the GSM slot unlocked. If you can find a SIM card for T-Mobile or AT&T it will probably say it didn't work but that's just because it's locked until you flash the Chinese radio.

I can confirm this. My D3 had a bad ESN when I got it, but after removing the carrier lock and flashing the Chinese radio.img, it's working on T-Mobile no probs.
Then... Can I buy a DROID 3 with BAD ESN in EEUU and use it in SPAIN witout problems?
I think I must:
Unlock it
Flash radio.img

Wife and I just bought a Motorola droid bionic, Been reading that it is possible to put on the h20 wireless network. I have been messing with the phone all day. I finally got pass the setup at the start, First I was getting "this sim is from an unknown source" error, I bypassed that now I am trying to determine if I am able to take it to h20 wireless or not. I don't want to forced to pay the $80 a month w/verizon.
Phone is Verizon Droid Bionic,
I have the h20 sim, but i get the above error.
I have found a way to bypass the setup as mentioned above, I forgot to mention i have a "no Sim" error now" Would this be because of H20?
Trying to solve this A.S.A.P my pageplus plan expires 2mrw, then i will have no phone.
Any ideas?:angel:

The process in its self is not that difficult but different bionics seem to have different results.

I'm on page 12, I am very confused on where to even start for 1. I know its not as simple as popping the sim card in and it working. Good thing is i have both an h20 wireless sim and at&t sim so i can go to either. But i prefer h20 so i can return the AT&T phone.
Would it be too much to ask for some step by step help with this process? My wife wants to return this phone and get another one, But were both disabled and can't afford to put any more $ out so i've been reading 4 the last 2hours.
Thanks in advance.
In my opinion not enough is known yet for the bionic to be a reliable gsm phone. When I had mine on AT&T it got a weak signal. My friend is on AT&T and a lot of times he would have a good signal and I wouldn't have one at all, and like I said earlier different bionics seem to have different results. I read in that forum that on person had like 1 out of 3 that the mod worked on. If I were you I would sell the bionics and buy at&t phones. But that's only my opinion.

Update
Ok, so I was playing with the sim card.1. this is my first phone ever with a needed sim card. So i was playing with it thinking i might have put it in backwards or something.
so my guess i did, no i am no longer getting a grey ANT with red circle, i am getting no signal and when i attempt to make call i get the following error " outgoing calls are restricted by FDN".. In my mind this is progress to me.
But what is my next step?:good:
Thinking about it

Anyone tempted? I love my one and the only upgrade you get is more megapixels and a fastest CPU but not by much? Stock android I guess by recent cm builds have been rock solid for me. I'm still considering it though nevertheless lol. Other peoples thoughts? Also phandroid confirmed that sprint let out a statement regarding this activation.

I believe you would need to order a SIM card for lte connectivity. They don't have them in brick and mortar stores

Cant you just remove the one from the ONE and insert into the Nexus 5?
I think you can put a sim in it from your One.
What I want to know is if you get one from tmo, will it work on sprint? If I put a sim in it...?

My next guess was a NSA tag..
We have an older LG Phone that my son uses to play games on. It does not have service, he just uses it with the wifi. He gets a similar message.
LTE: ESM-0 EMM-19
EHRPD:1
MIP : 67
Any ideas on how to get rid of it?
Thanks,
Id bet its just a way for the friggin cell phone folks harassing us to pay them money to keep phones on and avoid the constant bull ****! Just more gain for the money folks and more bull **** gain for us the ppl that have 20 non service cell phones to have to be hendered by these fools wanting more money. Id bet theres is no end to the message. Unless you pay them more money!
