Looking to put a better rom than the stock, bloated one that came from US Cellular. I'm in the states, and every working rom I find seems to allow calls or data and can't connect to my network. What's the best rom to run on my phone?
Bump, anyone? I read somewhere I need to flash the radio to get it to work, but I don't know where to find the file for the radio to be flashed. I wouldn't mind using the cyanogen mod even with it's horrible tearing issues if I can get the phone to actually work.

I am Having The Same Problem With My WS I am Also On Us Cellular And Would Love To Hear If There Is A Fix For This yet
curious
US Cellular is CDMA, right? If so, you want to look into PRL rather than radio. Stock radio should be fine... PRL [if your downloaded rom supports it] is what will get your data working I think. Also, when you guys power up into hboot does it show marvelc or marvelct? If either of you two care to, pm me and I'll try to work a rom up fot you.

Working up a test rom for US Cellular. Will send it to my contributor first to test; If all goes well, I'll start a thread over in the development section for you guys.

Hey guys... tested the "stock" rom I made for you guys, and it works on VM USA as well. I don't suppose anyone would be brave enough to test the VM USA one on their US Cellular phone [of course make nandroid before test, then flash back to it on conclusion]? It sucks really; VM disabled FM Radio and Wifi Hotspot [which I am re-enabling for a final release on that thread... but I think I'll build on your rom... It's just cleaner. Probably will make a debranded thread so the "stock" threads can fade down the development thread. So ideas of what you guys would like to see?
ie
Odexed and/or Deodexed?
Apps that should be added?
ie Terminal Emulator, Adobe Flash [full to replace lite], WiFi tether, etc.
Bloat you'd like removed?

Tested the Vm Rom on my us cellular worked fine. Was weird seeing the Vm boot up. But like u said no fm n WiFi hotspot on it sux. Now as for wut I would like to see for a new Rom. Data2sd would be nice I know I have seen that after awhile it starts to lag a bit. But I would still like to have the option to use it or least test it. Unbranded. Deodex. All the stock uscell apps can go cuz I never use em anyways but if Ur building off my original Rom I think the only uscell app I hadn't removed already was tone room deluxe. And like I had said to you earlier once I get going on my own Rom and get better at it. We can just go hog wild

I bought a new Boost branded Samsung Gs3
It was 4.1 out of the box, but when I activated the phone it forced 4.3 on me.
The phone is rooted..(did it myself!)
I also used the "DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_KNOX_REMOVAL_SCRIPT_V1.0.zip" right after rooting....
I can' t see any knox related files on the phone.
I haven't flashed any roms yet, but wanted to.. Just didn't want to hard-brick the phone.
Can I use any sprint based rom?? Do I need to be aware of anything....I would like to try this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2321867
Thanks all in advance..

You won't brick as long as you don't flash a tar file that downgrades the bootloader, since you took the OTA update. You can run almost any Sprint rom, but you will have to remove asserts from the ROM itself to keep from getting status 7 errors, due to Boost having slightly different radio(mk5). Try THIS link, it has some ROMs already modified for Boost. The second post explains how to remove asserts from ROMs not listed plus AOSP and CM based ROMs. I grabbed AOSB from Sprint forums and followed directions to remove asserts. Worked perfectly except for you can only have 3g and MMS or LTE and no MMS.
hello everyone, my HTC ADR 6350 (incredible 2) is working weird whit the GSM network wich is the only one i use, everytime i flash a 4.2.2 rom the signal strenght is showing a weird Value (screenshot attached) if i configure a APN i lost completely the network connection and have to flash again a rom.
i tried flashing the lastest radio, changing rom but nothing works, the only rom that is working fine is the stock.
waiting for suggestions.
sincerely yours Mase.

Hmmm, what (customized) Rom version are you using? I still have two DI2 - retired from CDMA duties but running GSM on Sense-based GB ROM and they are working nicely for our needs. One is on T-Mo USA network and the other is on AT&T network.
Have you tried a different GSM ROM at all? Some of the newer 4.x ROM are nice & cool but not ready as a daily, IMO.

Actually i'm using Pac-Rom 4.2.2 from chilly, the thread says that 4.2.2 are suitable for daily use, the phone is working nice but i dont have signal bars (i can recieve and make calls, send and recieve messeges) i tried some patch and other GSM tweaks, using the Stock (or any Stock Based Rom) is working completely fine but i cant stand Sense even the 4.0.4 leaked Rom works fine i haven´t tried another ICS Rom.
another detail using the *#*#4636#*#* menu the radio turns on and off if i try to set the APN.
thread of the Rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049902
Both VZW and HTC dropped the balls in supporting the Incredible 2, leaving it behind the times in GingerBread land, and some of the most active & best XDA-developers have since moved onto other devices for their primary daily use.
We are no longer on VZW or CDMA and switched to Nexus 5's running latest KitKat - but, since we still got two DI2 in relatively near new conditions, I continue to play around with them with GSM carriers.
There are a few stable & solid 4.x custom/ported rom that run nicely on DI2 and they are a good match for GSM services - the newest ones released recently/this month are in alpha/beta stages and not solid/stable enough. If you are having issues with yours, I suggest switching to & trying a different one instead - there's nothing wrong with Sense Rom and if it works, that's all that matter for me.

Not that I know of & I certainly don't recall discussions about it, way ahead of its time or arrival then in 2011-2012. Maybe the Jelly Bean ones could - to play with Xposed, I run back to our Nexus 5 and they are great for customization on our custom Rom.

Hello everyone. I have a Verizon M8 (unlocked/S-off), and I have switched to AT&T.
In order for my phone to work, I loaded ARHD (great ROM, btw), as the ROM I was using while I was on VZW did not want to play nice with the AT&T SIM card.
Everything is now working except for WiFi and LTE.
Based on what I've read, LTE on AT&T ain't happening on my device due to lack of frequency band support. But the WiFi problem is likely related to firmware, and therefore (I assume), fixable.
Here's my question: is it possible after I SuperCID my phone, to install the WWE firmware to fix the WiFi problem? Or will this brick my phone?
Thanks!

If your phone is from V you should stick to Verizon firmwares and kernels. There may be exception, but as far as i know Verizon and Sprint phones have other differences from GSM variants, not only firmware and/or kernel etc. Yes, your device can be used WW, but i'm pretty sure you cannot convert to full WWE. I went so far that i used QPST configurator and RFNV manager to unlock all the bands of my phone and yet i can't get LTE to work. I do hope someone here prove me wrong, but for now i'm happy i can use my phone in eastern Europe.
Thanks for the input. I was afraid of that. So I guess I'm stuck until new VZW firmware gets released, and then maybe my WiFi will work?
I guess I could look for a ROM that is using a different base and try that.

WiFi not working could be kernel related. What kernel are you running - stock or something else. I'm using lunarkernel+viperrom.
When i read carefully, you didn't mention on what firmware you run ARHD
3.28.605.4

Well, it's the right one for the job. My guess is kernel is causing non working WiFi, but i could be wrong. Did you tried some custom kernels?
With Lollipop 5.0 available for international variants such as the I9505, is it possible to simply flash that official rom, along with a U.S. modem to the SGH-m919?
I have read threads where CUSTOM ROMS are compatible with both the I9505 and M919, but not the stock I9505 rom already available.
Am I missing something obvious with this question because I know I am not the first to think of it. After comparing hardware specs of the two models, only the CPU looked different.
Has anyone successfully done this or has anyone done this and then needed a dozen workarounds only to get below par functionality? One of the reasons that I have not flashed to all of the current custom roms, is that each has "no Bluetooth support yet" or "Wifi calling not working." I truly respect the work of the modding community, as I can not do what it does, but I just do not want any more never ending workarounds simply to makes calls and texts. Flashing a rom? Yes. I run both T-Mobile and Metro versions of the latest M919 firmware/software.
Thanks much.
Bluetooth worked for me. WiFi calling will not work either way, no matter how official. Needs to be T-Mobile firmware. I think there is a guide to flash it in general thread if you're interested. I wouldn't do it

Thank you very much. I have spotty coverage where I live. I go from 4G LTE to no signal 20 feet from my house. I wanted to try Lollipop without using a custom, buggy rom. Many of the custom roms look fantastic and feel snappy but the list of "not working" and bugs to be fixed in next build is simply not worth it to me.
