Not sure which mod did it but currently us the us cellular 2.2 rom and my stock backup rcv txt but no mms. miui and cm7 don't get text or mms.
I really like cm7 and want to keep using it however no mms is terrible and no text is a deal breaker.
Tried one radio update to an older stock with 0 effect and restored my apn list with a stock one from my carrier (mobipcs, Hawaii only) also with 0 effect.
Any ideas on what might be wrong?
Also one more piece of info...
One of the Roms I installed was in the form of an exe that flashed the us cellular mod and unrooted the phone.
I appreciate any input or ideas.

I use a small carrier here in Hawaii called MobiPCS, they carry the HTC Desire. It's an awesome phone however they are slow as hell with updates. They are still stuck on 2.1. For a while i used the no radio USCC pre rooted 2.2 update but decided i wanted some custom rom awesomeness... First i installed Cyanogenmod 7 on my phone and all was wonderful until i noticed i was unable to receive SMS. Sending was no problem but people weren't able to send them to me. Reflashed the rom and still encountered the same problem. Tried Oxygen and MIUI but still was unable to receive SMS. Sadly for some odd reason my 2.2 backup was corrupt and now I am stuck back at 2.1 as the link for the 2.2 upgrade is now down
Just wondering if anybody had any ideas how to fix the SMS problem or if they had a copy of the pre rooted 2.2 uscc no radio update.
Im having the same problem with in coming text, been asking mobi about the carrier
info. there is a fix but you need cdma working software and need to flash it to the phone from a computer. its a big undertaking. but they also said theres a couple places in town that unlocks phones that maybe able to do it for you. One place is at village market the dvd place there they also sell unlocked phones...but if you want 2.2 they will give it to you at mobi i have 2 desires they did it no problem.
i have a stock g2 (T Mobile) running the OTA 2.3.4.
my problem is when i send an MMS to someone else, my phone says "Converting to multimedia message" and the reduces the file size significantly... to the point where the other person receives it blurry. Anyone know a fix for this? maybe some APN settings i can change? i have searched up but everything i found was relating too rooted devices with such and such roms, nothing for stock.
Hello all. Been a computer geek for 25+ years, and an android geek for a little over a year. I have done numerous flashes on Continuum, Fascinate, Nexus, and various other phones. I cannot seem to get a "clear and defined" answer on this question:
I have a TOTAL nandroid backup via ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.1.2
I have a TOTAL system & app backup via Titanium Backup Pro 6.0.1
I am rooted with Chainfire's SuperSU v1.34
Phone
Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 SPH-L710
Android Version:
4.1.2
Baseband Version:
L710VPBMD4
Kernel Version:
3.0.31-1130792
Build Number:
JZO54K.L710VPBMD4
Hardware Version:
L710.14
I did ALL the OTA updates from 4.0.1 to 4.1.2 prior to PagePlus flash. Had phone flashed to PagePlus with 100% working 3G, text, talk, and MMS. IF I flash a custom ROM (ie: CyanogenMod Nightly build, MOAR, etc...) will it render my PagePlus inoperable or require reflashing to PagePlus with every custom ROM flash? At $50.00 per flash that can get expensive. IF it DOES screw up the PagePlus flashing, can I just do either of the previously mentioned backups, and have my PagePlus flash settings magically re-appear? Or will it require a visit to my local PagePlus retailer for another flashing? My previous phones didnt require "flashing to PagePlus" since they were verizon phones and can be updated by simply dialing *228 or *22890.
Short answer: No
You don't lose your phone number when flashing roms, right?
APN settings may need to be modified manually though for MMS, etc

I knew you didnt lose your number or carrier settings when you flash a custom rom to a verizon based 3g phone (not sure about verizon 4g LTE phones tho), since PagePlus uses verizon towers, and to update roaming capabilities, and PRL is easily accomplished by the *228 or *22890. BUT when using a Sprint based 4g phone, if you flash a new rom, or go backwards to an older oem rom, I was under the impression that EVERYTHING goes back to the default Sprint settings, and that the PagePlus side of things is forever gone. But noone can give me a definitive YES or NO on this, and at $50 a pop for mistakes can get expensive quickly
I have flashed the following Verizon phones with with "multiple" OEM & Custom ROMS with NO problems: Continuum SCH-I400, Fascinate SCH-I500, Droid X, HTC Incredible, HTC Vogue Touch (installed android instead of win 6.x), Verizon Nexus SCH-I515 . None of these required anything other than OTA programming to work 100% with Page Plus (except the Nexus which I could NEVER get on PagePlus no matter how hard we tried).

Page Plus Mystery Solved?
First off..... sorry for posting in the "general" area with a question. I'll try to be more careful in the future......
Second.... Answer to my own question, and for anyone else in the "not knowing".
I bit the bullet yesterday and flashed 3 custom roms. Cyanogenmod, Miui, and MiBox, and then flashed back to my nandroid oem 4.1.2 JB I had 100% working Talk, Text, and MMS on ALL 3 roms, as well as the oem.
So, the answer to my question, YES, you can flash custom roms without losing PagePlus flash. I did NOT do an Odin flash, but I did do a factory reset, and still had all my settings intact.
Thanks to all the helpful people who gave opinions/pointers. Your work with the devices is GREATLY appreciated!!!! Keep up the good work.

I'm hoping you can help me with my similar question. I have a used Verizon Galaxy Nexus (SCH-I515) that I successfully programmed to use Page Plus. (I have no idea what I actually did, but I was able to follow the instructions I found online with no problems.) It's currently running JB 4.2.2 and Paranoid Android 3.6, and I'd like to get JB 4.3 on it.
I don't really understand flashing and all that (for instance, what ODIN is or what the ramifications of different operations are), and I can't seem to get an answer to my question.
Ideally, I'd like to get JB 4.3 on it (either stock/rooted or using one of the stable ROMs out there (CM 10?)), AND I'm hoping I don't have to reconfigure all the settings I've spent the last two weeks setting up.
Any insight? Thanks!
I have a Sprint HTC M8 , S-off and bootloader unlocked. Also have super CID, with latest Sprint Firmware. Whenever I flash an AOSP Lollipop ROM, I can never get MMS to work. I have tried getting an APN app, and manually setting it. I have used hangouts and the stock messaging app. I have MultiRom, and a GPE ROM works perfectly fine. I don't understand why AOSP will have issues with MMS. I could have sworn I seen Sprint users have success with it. My Profile and PRL are all up to date too. Any help would be great! I really want to run some Lollipop goodness!
Does anyone know where to get hold of the UK stock ROM.
P2a42_S056_161130_uk
Made the rookie mistake of not backing up before change to the stock Row rom.
Could do with this too, the Row rom is proving to be really buggy and unstable despite factory reset. I've read it's difficult to downgrade though?
4GB Super Voice
I would also like a copy of this, I think the stock firmware contained settings for 4G Super Voice which made 4G reception better. - three.co.uk/Discover/network/4G-Supervoice
I am finding myself on HSDPA allot more since going to the ROW ROM.
On the stock Three firmware there were no settings for VOLTE/4G super voice.
I flashed the ROW firmware and it been running really well. No crashes, no bugs and the 4G reception is very good.
There are also now settings inside the network settings for "Enhanced 4G voice" or something along those lines which is VOLTE/Super voice.
However it doesn't appear to work and it still switches to 3G to make calls.
Because the UK is better than the ROW rom? They are the same with the only difference than the stock Three UK rom has a preinstalled bloatware!
My only reason is that my LG urbane on aw 2.0 connected fine with that ROM, But does not seem to the ROW Rom.
If i could get a resolution for that i would be happy, but can't seem to get any other advised than reset both and try again, which has been done a few times.

Which bloatware?
All I found were the 3x Three apps. My Three, Three in Touch and another one which I can't remember (Three suggestions or something).
They can just be uninstalled if you don't want them.
I need this too as my device has to go in for service. Anyone have access to the stock Three UK firmware?
The nougat update.zip file in developer section is an official firmware i was using it for about 2 months untill i rooted. Now i am using the Nougat deodexed version which is also the same rom but with a few tweaks here and their and all bloat removed and i seem to get volte in even more locations now.

Thanks, but the Three UK FW is customised. need this version installed before I send for service.
oh sorry i didnt realise it was for sending in for service what happened?
Actually, I have resolved the issue now but I still would like the FW for the future if anyone has access to it. As for the problem had: I foolishly set the band to USA in the service menu. This made it impossible to make calls or connect to a 2G/3G network. I tried resetting the handset, rolling back to MM, upgrading back to N but nothing resolved the issue until I came across a post earlier today on an old Moto thread. A simple modem erase using ADB resolved the issue. All back to normal now. Phew!
Anybody got a link to this firmware ?
