[Q] Not receiving texts after flashing Synergy RC2

Hey guys! I have recently installed the Synergy RC2 ROM and since the install have not been receiving most of the texts that have been sent to me. A few will come through but not all. I have tried updating the radios but not sure if I have there right ones or not. Any one have a solution to this problem?

Sprint was having some text issues the past couple days but I think they're largely resolved now. Calkulin has a thread in the development section where you can get the latest radio bundle, I'd link it but not at my computer currently. Also try updating your PRL and then Profile after you get the radio package flashed. Also make sure you're using Amon_Ra for recovery. Good luck.

Thanks for the info. I just flashed the latest radios from Caulkins thread right before you responded and also updated the profile and prl. Ill have to get some text convos going before I can say if it worked.

Try another reboot as well, then attempt to update the prl then profile. If you still get error then just try later.

Modem breaks wifi in ICS

I notticed that my baseband was EL29. I was supprised that it wasn't causing trouble since it's GB and I was running CM9. I was under the impression that things worked best when modem and kernel were matching.
SO I updated my modem to FF18 and the Kernel/Recovery to TWRP 2.2.1 with FF18. Once rebooted, the WiFi was broken. (can't even turn it on). So I tried FF11 and still no go. I even tried going back to EL29.
No matter what I do, I still don't have WiFi. It's very frustrating. This is pretty much the first time in 2 years with multiple phones I've been completely stumped. anyone have any advice?

You running cm9, You can't use the update profile and prl in settings. There is a work around (google is your friend) on how to do it. But I believe thats the issue. every time i flash a new modem I do update profile and update PRL. you could flash to a TW ICS rom update profile and PRL and the flash back to CM9

Can you re-post the link, I was unable to find that page. Also, where can I find a TW ICS rom? I don't see it on the wiki custom roms database.
Thanks,

Weird I havent had that issue on my phone im running FF18

You should start at the ns4g modem thread..... everything you've asked here is answered there... except maybe going back to cllean gb... if on an ns4g modem you won't be able to run any tw roms with it... but you can flash back to an epic modem pretty easily...

And I do believe that JB partitions different than other MTD ROMS and an Odin would be required to go backwards.

If you can type a response, you can type in the search box.
Or you could go look in development for the thread labeled NS4G modem patch. It's been in the top 10 for at least 2 weeks.
Or you could go here:

Which I linked from (gasp) my mobile device!

Seriously... your phone doesn't have google??? And just so you know... I don't even own a computer right now, so that's no excuse... I do all my posting and searching right from the trusty old epic 4g....

I installed the Nexus S 4G modem on CM9.1 using CWM5. It was a two-step process: install actual radio from .zip and then apply a patch to CM9.1 from .zip.
The KL2 radio is attached--I downloaded it from the Nexus S' forums, I think. The patch was available from the Epic Dev forum. The thread with the CM9.1 patch also had patches for other MTD ROMs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842037
When in doubt, restoring a CWM flash backup and using Odin to reinstall a Samsung modem returns you back to square one.
Today is my second day on the NS4G KL2 radio. With EC05/FC09 and CM7, the GPS was flaky and often refused to lock but battery life was stellar: with CM9, GPS just flat didn't work and the radios sucked the battery >5% an hour on idle. With KL2, GPS locks in the same indoor location within 5 seconds and the battery usage looks equivalent to CM7's, which for me was the best of all ROMs for battery life.

Well, things haven't really *changed*. The initial warning to use ODIN was just to be safe. But I ran through all the scenarios this morning to see what would happen and determine an easier solution.

Installing a modem

Hi everyone,
I was hoping someone could shed some light onto one quick question about installing a new modem. I'm on CM9 w/CWM. I currently have the FF18 baseband modem.
Which modems am I able to install from the wiki page? There's a list of TONS of them and I'm just trying to figure out if I'm able to try any of them or if my particular phone requires particular modem drivers (since it came with FF18). I hope my question makes sense.
Thank you

You can try any of them except FK09 and FK23 -- those are meant for the TW Jelly Bean builds. I used FF18 for some time but I'm on FI27 now and it seems to be a-ok.

If you are gonna try different modems make sure to update you PRL and profile. Which CM9 doesn't support. Use the FF18 temp boot.

Thank you for your response, Mac of York. I want to try the FI27 modem you're talking about but it's not on my list. The list of modems I'm looking at is http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II/SPH-D710/Modems. Did you get yours from somewhere else? And is this a page of modems where I can go out and install whichever ones I want except the ones for JB builds?

Hi,
Can you explain this a little more? I'm on CM9 and you said I need to do a PRL and profile update but CM9 doesn't allow this? What's the FF18 temp boot/how do I perform this?

OK, CM being an AOSP type ROM doesn't support dialer codes and PRL / Profile updates. The temp boot which can be found in the dev section. Allows you temporarily boot into FF18 stock TW ROM for one boot up. (This us to do the PRL/Profile update) next time you boot up it will be back to CM9. This way you can change you modem and be able to make sure its running correctly (PRL/Profile).

Not to insult your intelligence, just trying to help, but is your 3g/4g toggled to on in your settings and or pulldown? And try flashing stock jellybean Rom and modem and update your prl and profile(unless you've done that already)

Yeh i downloades stock jelly bean from samsung and nothing metropcs prl latest prl is 3033 and yes 3g is toggled :/

Probably need to check your QPST settings again bro, I'm on CM10.1 like you and my 3g works fine AFTER flashing alt-carrier data fix.

I haven't messed with Metro since last year when I set up my wife with my a Sprint S2 on Caulkins ROM. I recall having to mess with setting manual APN settings to get data to work.
Is that still the case with these newer roms?

Not really, APN settings these days are usually in regards to getting MMS to work. I do recall losing my Metro flash while flashing ROM's around on my Droid 2 back in the day. Not sure if there's any situation in which the Metro flash could possibly be wiped with the Epic 4g Touch but that might be a thought to keep in mind. Good luck!
