I am currently using the Synergy RC-2 rom and MMS is working on my device. Did you flash a certain theme or the Sense 3.0 carousel? It's been reported on several occasions (in the Synergy RC-2 thread) that people who are having problems with MMS either used the Sense 3.0 carousel or a particular theme that I cannot remember the name of.
I had the same issue with RC1 when I restored MMS via Titanium Backup. I wiped data, dalvic and cache and reflashed the rom. MMS works fine until I restored via Titanium. Once restored it failed to work again. Hope that helps.

Yeah I used titanium backup and restored all my apps. That could be it.. will reflash and try again without titanium. Since theres no thanks button on mobile, thank you

I wanna see if there are other possible fixes for this. My findings is that I flashed Synergy rc2 fresh after complete wiping. Ran rvswiper...whatever its called. Then flashed ROM.
The first thing I did was try sending a mms and go into gallery. Both have SD card unmount. I know they are related but I can't seem to figure it out.

Hello, I am lost and can really use some help. I am rooted with CWM, I have flashed EL26 kernel and I would like to flash either wicked sensations or blu kuban rom. My question is what happens to all my data, like my contacts, apps I downloaded, etc.? Would I lose all that in the new rom? I did a back up using my backup pro and I also have done a phandorid back up in CWM. I really want to flash but I am scared of losing everything. Please help...
Also, which rom do you all think is better for me, blu kuban or the wicked sensations?
Thank you all so much for your help!!!
titanium backup apps, dl some sort of SMS backup if you care about that, and as long as your contacts are synced with your Gmail you'll be fine there as well... as to romreccomendations I can't help you there I switch between mijjhzs goodness, aokp and cm9 myself and love em all...also since you've done a nandroid you can always flash back to el26 and restore if you lose something crucial, but you shouldn't as long as you back everything up

Having seen anything about this. In my cwm folder I have backups and a folder called BLOBS which is almost 4 GB. Is this safe to get rid of if I want to delete all my backups and make new ones? Just looking to free up some space but don't want to destroy my phone.
Thanks to anyone that can help.

Blobs are where your data is stored when you make backups on clockwork recovery. It is safe as long as you don't need any of your backed up data. You can also transfer your backups to pc by dragging folders into pc.

Just go into CWM and delete the backups you don't need.

Before I backed up my stock rom and flashed my current one (PACman) I updated my profile just to make sure that I was good to go for a while.
Does the profile updates/PRL updates done in stock stay once you wipe everything and flash a new rom? I'm wondering because I don't get quite the signal strength that I did in PACman that I did on stock and I have no way of updating my profile inside of PACman. But, if profile updates don't stick after a wipe, what good does it do to go back & forth?
I really wish a dev would come out with an apk for each major carrier to update profiles.
Yes it does stay. When changing modems you should update again though.

So, just restore back to my stock backup with my current modem and update...then, restore back to my PACman rom backup?

Correct. And it would stick through the flash

Can't Update Profile
I just recently installed a JB 4.2.2 ROM from rootbox and have been unable to get my profile to update, so in turn have been unable to connect to 3G. When I got to About Phone -> Sprint System Updates the update profile option dials *22805 which never activates my phone. It just dials the Sprint customer support number.

Well, I just flashed my recovery and it won't boot past the S2 logo now. Did I miss something?
Okay, more questions!
I tried restoring my nandroid I made after rooting/kernel/ICS modem and it appears to restore correctly in CWM and then it won't get past the S2 splash screen. I did it first without wiping/factory reset and it was a no go, and then I was duh...and wiped/factory reset then restored the stock nandroid...still no go.
What am I doing wrong? In the meantime, I just restored a PACman nandroid and that went just fine and I can use my phone again.
I've been trying to find the answer myself, but the only thing I've found is that the stock recovery has to be restored on the same version of CWM it was created on. How do I do this since CWM updated itself to v6?

You flashed the EL26+CWM kernel to make the original nandroid correct? then just flash that kernel (with PC or mobile odin, doesn't matter) and then restore the nandroid.
BUT, you can skip this if you want to stay on PACman. @bilgerryan has an app somewhere in the forum that attempts to add the sprint update functionality back in to AOSP. Almost everything is broken (including PRL write and Update PRL OTA), but Profile update works without a hitch.
ALSO, take a look at the gps link in my sig. I have a link in my OP there for how to set up multiboot on the Epic Touch. That way you can multiboot into EL29 to do things like GPS lock, PRL update, Profile update, dialer codes, etc.

Okay. Yeah, i want to stay on PACman but only need to update my profile to help my signal. Okay, I will try to find that app. My PRL is up-to-date so yeah...all I need to do is update my profile, but I'm with Virgin mobile. However, I did flash the FL24 modem (sprint). This will update my profile with VM?
I decided to just try your first fix where I reflash the EL26+CWM5 kernel and flash stock nandroid. After I'm done updating things and want to go back to PACman...I simply reflash the PACman zip (to get back my PACman specific kernel) and once restore flash a backup to get all my apps & things back, right?

Well, that didn't work for me. :/ I reflashed the EL26+CWM5 kernel in mobile odin and then restored the stock nandroid. This gave me the S2 splash screen and just sat there. So, I guess I have to find that app you spoke of.
Okay, I found it, and followed all of the instructions to the "T" and when I click on Sprint System Updates, it simply makes a phone call to Sprint with a voice menu. :/
Update: Okay, I see it is also in the app drawer, but the only thing that currently works is the MSL retrieval.
Sigh...
Download the kernel or the rom and just flash over your restore. Your eecovery is bundled with a gingerbread kernel. So the backup you made is trying to run a gingerbread kernel. Wont work. If you flash the rom over your nandroid it will boot. You will have all system setting restored though. It sucks. But it worka.

I'm feeling a bit dumb now...
I don't quite understand the first part of what you are saying. I do understand that my nandroid cannot run without the GB kernel I made it with. So, I did reflash the GB kernal with mobile odin and then went into CWM and restored the nandroid...still didn't work.
Am I misunderstanding?
Yes. After restoring the nandroid flash whatever rom you were on again. Do not wipe. So I believe you are restoring pacman. After your restore pacman. Use the same recovery, and flash the same pacman rom again. Basically you just need the pacman kernel. Not sure if there is a aseperate kernel somewhere. But flashing the rom over top without wiping anything will restore the kernel back to what its supposed to be.

Oh. Hmmm. But I made the stock nandroid with the EL26 kernel. I don't need that one in order to successfully recover my stock nandroid?
I think we are talking about two different things. I am NOT able to restore my stock nandroid. It gets stuck at the S2 splash screen.
Okay, new approach...
Recommended TouchWiz based ROM that I can update PRL in?
Why is that when i flash a kernel on a compatible rom it boots to the samsung note 2 logo for a few seconds then it just sits there black?, no progress is ever made, only sitting there black. when i decide to restore to the fresh nandroid backup i made before the kernel flash it always corrupts it somehow and i cant restore to it, always gives me an error at the restoring data part . Its for the tmobile note 2; please and thanks for the help

we need more details. rom, recovery info?
I currently am running slimkat rom 4.4.2 on my note 2(tmo), when I flashed Perseus kernel on my phone I was using a regular debloated 4.3 rom but still went black. I have CWM, when I flashed everything was good(booting up never past the black screen) when I went to recover back to my fresh backup it starts off good but when I gets to recovering data it sits there for a few minutes and then it gives me an error "error recovering from backup". I wish I had more to say but I'm writing this from my phone

make sure you are on the latest version of CWM. I don't know if perseus is still supported. I would give agni or devil kernel a try. also flash your rom then boot it up. Then reboot back to recovery and flash the kernel
Thank you, I'll give it a try in a few
Edit: sorry it took a while to respond after flashing one of your suggested kernels; I flashed devils kernel and it worked great no black screens, absolutely no problem at all
