    Guys, I am a Storm guy, but I need help with the Tour my Dad just got.

    He's on Sprint, it's a Sprint 9630.

    He traded an older 8330m for it on CL. However, this 9630 had some things done to it to start flashing it to MetroPCS.

    We got it working for calls and texts.

    There is no browser, or any BIS info. I have no service books in the phone. I tried updating the provisioning, it doesn't do anything.

    The PRL I have in the phone is: 20233
    This is apparently the MetroPCS PRL.

    I have updated the phone to the Sprint official 4.7.1.57.

    For the life of me, I can't figure out what the **** is wrong. Sprint is showing it to have the correct info, but obviously it is wrong. However, they are showing it to have a provisioning problem.

    So....help?!?!?!

    Did you wipe it clean and start fresh? Resend the service books?

    sounds like it flashed, no longer usable on sprints network you can try resending the service books from the bis site, www.sprint.blackberry.net. see if that helps, if not im sorry. thats why i do not buy off craigslist.

    My dad just called me. It now is updating the profile. It received service books (some say Verizon?)

    He has 1XEV

    Still trying to get the browser...

    Also, if it was officially flashed, wouldn't it not call or text?

    BTW, no money changed hands...just an even trade.

    Strange that someone would trade an 8830 for a 9630 even up.

    Ok...officially, this is weird.

    It is running on Sprint for voice, but somehow it is using VZW for data.

    Ideas?

    Wow, I didn't think that was possible. Use it a while and see how your billing comes in. Hmm, the Tour that jumped the shark...

    Metro doesn't have 3G yet (1XEV)....so that's weird.
