http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP4xR_rmPrU&list=UUxqzz5EkFT8YZpnC9UZR6-A&feature=plcp


2.In QSPT Service Programming under M.I.P tab set the Mobile IP behavior to 'Simple IP' This will allow your phone to connect to 3G when available or 1X when not in a 3G service area.

If there is 3G signal in your area after completing these 2 simple steps you should now have 3G.

If your still having trouble getting 3G and your sure theirs 3G in your area theres still hope, Try forcing 3G by setting your EVO into HDR Mode.

Hope this helps you guys! :D

Steps to manualy setting your EVO into HDR Mode:

*Warning: Manually forcing your phone into HDR Mode or Digital Mode my cause issues like your PRL going into 0000 IF your phone has been MEID repaired. You know who you are so do not attempt this if your HTC EVO was MEID repaired. Only try this if your are sure your HTC EVO was not MEID repaired.

  1. Dial ##3424# (Sets your phone in Diag mode).
  2. Connect your EVO to PC thourgh USB.
  3. Open QPST.
  4. Start Clients>Service Programming.
  5. Read from phone.
  6. Go to System tab.
  7. Set your Preffered Mode to: HDR only
  8. Write to Phone.

Reboot your phone and your HTC EVO should now be forced to connect to 3G!

The reason why I ask you guys to do this by QPST rather than by Advanced Settings is because most of the times you change it on Advanced Settings but it really doesn't change anything.

Although you guys can check to see if your connected to Evdo using Advanced Settings App. Open the app and go into Phone Information, take a look at your Network Type it should now say CDMA- EvDo rev. A!

Hey Guys,

I wanted to make a general thread where MetroPCS users with flashed HTC EVO phones could post their location, 3G speeds, and settings like prl and rom that best worked for them. MetroPCS has recently been updating some of their towers to work with 3G.
This thread is only for users to come and post and compare there speeds so please take your legal issues or drama somewhere else, Thanks.

It should be something like this:
-Location: Miami, FL
-Speed:1766D 532U
-PRL: 3022
-ROM: Swagged Out Stock
-Screen Shot For Proof:
ae8dd44a-8928-1373.jpg


*I want this thread to be user friendly, So NO Trolls Allowed!
-Happy Posting!

Wait... what? Metro has 3G now?

Not sure what it is. Speed test app drops my connection to 1x but when browsing the internet or using wifi tether 3g stays. I was also expecting higher rates but guess it was my location. Still better than my previous peek of 25kbps

Been following this for a while now...

I've been following Bloody's thread for a while and I've seen pretty much all the posts in relation to Metro 3G.
I was wondering if you could either post a quick guide on how to flash the new PRL here, or just PM me a quick guide. I'd really appreciate it.
I've tried flashing the PRL using CDMA workshop, and also by downloading the new EPST.apk, and using dialer codes, but to no avail. I'll gladly post up my speeds once I can get it working. Thanks a lot! :)
My info is
-Location: Miami,FL / Hialeah, FL
-ROM: MetroDroid 2.2

If MetroDroid is AOSP, your best bet would be to do a nandroid, wipe, flash to any sense rom, run epst, dial ##775# and update PRL. Once you are done, roll back to MetroDroid.

Im in Stockton Ca and my Speeds are all over the place ... Ive tried Prl 3022 and 3023 and I get 3g with both... what radio are you on

Just updated my prl..i am also in Stockton...no 3g for me...I have a flashed htc evo (Metro PCS)...


Update: I got it working!
I did extensive search on this. Here is what worked for my flashed, rooted, HTC Evo, Sense, gingerbread....my speeds were at about 96kbps to 129kbps....after prl update 600kbps to 2mbps....

First, the dial key did not work when I dial ##775#- which translates to ##PRL#...someone said on different posts that either an HTC or Sprint update removed this function... so you have to install EPST.apk onto your phone to make it work...I included it. That is only if yours does not work. You also have to know your MSL number to unlock your phone...try all six 000000, if you don't know it, first. There is an app on the Marketplace, search MSL reader- hopefully that can tell you your number. Place the 3022 prl file onto your sd card...i included the 3022 prl. After installing EPST, dial ##775# and it will ask you to enter your password, then tab update prl...then the EPST should load up...it is buggy, you will see it takes a couple of seconds to load up...and if it asks you to foreclose or wait...make sure you press wait...then it will load up. Then it will ask you to find prl, if it's in your sd card, you will see the prl file on the bottom, tab on the right circle input then ok. Then it will take you to update PRL and you can see that the file 3022 is ready...then hit menu and click on the plus to commit modification...wait it is making changes..then the EPST will tell you to reset by pressing ok...you should see a pop up saying commit successfully...if it doesn't reset after 10 seconds...then you reset it manually...that is it...should work....

    3029 PRL!

    I was working on a new customers phone today and came in with an EVO preflashed (talk+txt) from MetroPCS with a 3029 PRL. I will rip it and upload later...

    Here it is, I haven't tried it yet but 3G works on the EVO!

    PRL 03028

    Hello, been following this thread for about 2 weeks. Lots of good info. I just registered so I can post this. Anyways, I have an Evo flashed to Metro. I've done everything but no 3G here in Bakersfield, CA. My wife has a Admire, also no 3G. I was messing with hers today and noticed that the PRL was reverted to 3026. She had 3027 when I had checked it before. So I did the *228 to update. And lo and behold 3028!!! Hopefully I wake up to 3G. Doubt it since I think Bakersfield is capped. Anyways, I hope this helps someone out there.

    There's a lot more to it that setting that to auto for those of us in markets that aren't connecting. My how I wish it were that simple. I've cloned metro phones and tried a million different combinations of data settings. Different profiles different shared secret passwords and still nothing. As long as you have followed the guide in the op you will get 3g from first boot if you are in a 3g area. Also all roms made for a cdma phone are automatically set to cdma auto prl. Imo its more along the lines of metro putting there evdo connections out over 1700 mhz signal which sprint phones do not have radios to support. Browse the thread a little from pages 80-100 u.should be able to find a lot of the tests I have done with modifying apks from metro wildfire amongst a lot of other things.
