Don't find out the hard way that the roms in this forum won't work with a sprint galaxy nexus. You will have no cell radio access with them. There is no way currently to get back to stock.

This is pretty common knowledge...but let me ask you this, to flash a custom ROM, you must have a custom recovery...did you nandroid backup before flashing?

Can I root?
I had expected the Verizon ROMs would have incompatible radios, but will the root methods and other recoveries/mods work?
Yes I did but it got wiped on accident while flashing roms. It happens and I am sure there will be a fix soon. But quite a few other people have done this.

That doesn't help because the modem is irrevocably flashed to Verizon's version, and we don't have any Sprint radios to recover yet.
If you did flash a Verizon ROM on your Sprint Galaxy Nexus, flash the TWRP recovery, then place this in your Nandroid backup folder and restore.
When Android boots, update Profile & PRL in the About screen, reboot, and data should be working again!

Roms do not contain radios, so yes it would help.
Umm you can flash a nandroid of stock. But the thing that also breaks this is the kernel.
OK , but still a reflash of the rom (every rom includes a kernel) should set him back to good. Period. Needs a stock rom to flash then will be be fine. This is much ado about nothing.

There will be a separate Dev section just like there is for Verizon and GSM now.
But seriously how would you ever think that a Verizon ROM with no changes would just work on a Sprint GNex?
Im just running stock rooted tw. I just got the ics update pushed to my phone and I want to update. I know it won't fly because of cwm recovery. What's the best way to upgrade to ics from here?
I one of these days when ive got time I will be loading a custom rom. I dabbled with cm9 a bit, but what I need is a stable rom that has a good strong radio and GPS. So that's why I'm hanging with stock for now.

Why not just use SFHubs FF18 One Click, no data then run this to disable the OTA msg if you continue to get that?
To get your CWM Recovery back, just use the Autoroot to install CWM for FF18..

Why would you be in the wrong section?
And according to sfhub, and others, having root alone should not prevent the update. Though some have said it's failed.
The latest OTA is said to fix swype, and that's it.. But that's just a matter of clearing swype cache.
Why not try the update? Everyone is having their own experiences, bad / good battery life, phantom reboots, lockups, great reception.. etc..
Why not try it out? You can always change it..

I ultimately tried it, but I'm screwed. I edited my Droidsansfallback.ttf to get soft emojis for my phone. During the update it stopped and said something about the file. I think it meant it was unverified. It also had a string of letters and numbers after it (DroidSansFallback.ttf, be7fksdsk1333, 340dj3045, etc). I'm re-downloading the stock rom in hopes that it will fix everything, but I chose no data wipe so I don't know.

Give an update after if you don't mind.
Are you going back stock el29 for the OTA or just using the ff18?
Did you make a backup of droidsansfallback prior to editing?
:edit: I'm wondering if you had the update still in cache and went with a stock ttf and tried replying the update. I don't know if a fail clears it out of cache though..

It's going to take an extremely long time [or a place with better reception] to download this. If someone could just send me the ttf it would be awesome.
I'm going back to stock rooted EL29. If I get another issue, I'll enable temp root. I did not make a backup of DSFB, unfortunately.

Personally? I would root and use a custom recovery to flash a nicely built rom. But that's what I would do.
I can either get you the update zip, and some links are still active to the latest OTA, or you can go custom.

There are plenty of custom ics roms in the Dev section. And el29 is 2.3.6 btw depends on what you want, aosp(cm9, aokp) or tw(blu kuban, goodness, venum ice, etc) lots of choices, I personally only use aosp roms and exclusively aokp out of the choices.

Crawrj still has his link active. Very recent update and you can use the stock recovery to use as the update. Just say the word of you don't know how to boot into recovery and apply. No need to rename but you can of you like, just name it update.zip and place into your sdcard.

If you're using the link from the post above you, no, its not a full wipe. That is the ota file.
You'll need to boot your phone into recovery and apply the update.zip option.

I have been on ICS since the update and although i like the interface i have been having nothing but problems. i ended up backing up with titanium and doing a reset of the phone, still having issues although not as much with the wifi.
phone freezes at time, wifi needs to be refreshed at times, phone runs slow and somewhat choppy (removed live wallpaper to help relieve.), when i click on apps there is like a fading delay transition into the app. Oh and battery will not last more thank 5 and a half hours... and that is with light to no use.
I am no thinking of going with a custom rom ( i am rooted with oden). what rom should i go with that will give a similair look to ics but without all the problems.

Is that 5 1/2 hours on screen time or total battery life?
And there are several Stock "look and feels" in the Dev section. As with any Rom, YMMV. It's just a matter of taste and all anyone can really suggest is reading through the threads and seeing what appeals to you. Read through in it's entirety to get known issues, compliments, fixes, adjustments, etc..

number 1 rule... read the OP and install instructions before flashing anything.
I'm fairly certain the install instructions say make a nandroid back up. If you don't know what that is, you need to do research before flashing.
But if you didn't make one then your screwed. You need to Odin back to stock and start over.
Sent from Pluto.
You should always make a backup of your current Rom within your custom recovery before you flash a new Rom. Try searching on Google for the application Odin that you use on your computer to restore to stock. You need to return to stock to update your profile.

Flash to stock with Odin. From there do a ##72786# in the dialer. Then if all is well, MAKE A NANDROID, and reflash cm10
-sigh- wouldn't it just be easier to restore a nan backup of stock of someone else's for him? Most rooters do it. If one of you could upload it and have him download it and flash it he could do what he needs to
i already make the phone back to stock as i got it 3 times... flash it iinstall cm10 and keep on having tht issue. .... as soon as i install cm10 i start having issues on the phone. i have flash different cm10 nightly see maybe tht was the problem but no... still same issue
OK I got the phone flashed over to Page Plus. But for the life of me I can't get into EPST ##3282#. No matter what I do the keypad dialer will not open this menu.
YouTube & Play Store will not work over data.
I'm on Freeza stock MD4 rom . Stock phone keypad
I googled and I've read that the ###3282# code was blocked in the MD4 update. So I'm assuming that I need to flash a rom that was b4 the MD4.
Could someone please tell me what rom I'm looking for?
Or unless someone knows a different way to get into EPST?
Thanks a million

My SPH-L710 was flashed to pageplus 4 days ago. What i had to do, was go to a stock, unrooted rom, let them do the flashing process, and then restore a nandroid of a different rom. I do not suggest rooting the stock rom after the flash, because it broke my wifi. I did a factory reset using Philz CWM, i wiped the dalvik cache. I rebooted the phone, rerooted, and rebooted. Still no wifi with stock MD4 that was rooted using the GS3 all in one tool.
I restored a nandroid of The Peoples Rom, and Mother of all Roms. My calls, texts, and 3G data all work with both roms. I do not know about MMS, because i do not use MMS. TPR and MOAR are both prerooted ROMs.

This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099 has a stock MD4 that also resets your flasg count. Not that the second part matters in this case. The ROM is confirmed to be stock, unrooted, and MD4 update. No surprises like messed up features or random reboots. Its a clean MD4. I would suggest making sure you have a nandroid for whatever ROM you want to use as your daily driver. So, nandroid your daily driver, go back to stock, and then restore your nandroid. Thats that i did. my talk, text, and 3G work. As far as i know, switching ROMS DOES break MMS. Of you cannot live without MMS, im afraid youll have to remain stock as far as i know. The person that flashed my GS3 wrote their own software, and has years of experience in the business. I am not saying he knows every trick, but ive been told that it is impossible to properly flash the GS3 while it has a ROM with certain custom features, or OC/UC.
Thanks, I done flashed like 4 different roms since the Page Plus flash and everything still works sms/mms/3g on each one. Her daily driver is Cm10.2 on this phone.
The guy told me if I flash a rom avoid firmware as that would wipe or corrupt the Page Plus flash. And he would charge me to have a refreshing.
He got everything flashed except he couldn't get into the ##3282# to program whatever he needed to in there.

But I get home and flash a stock unrooted rom via recovery hopefully to see if the ##3282# works if so then take it back so he can finish

That's correct. If your data doesn't work you'll have to change your APN settings since most of these ROMs are for the sprint s3 and not the boost mobile. I flash ROMs a lot and sometimes the data work so I won't have to change my APN. If you need help with that I can help

My phone is still fresh in box and locked for that matter (only upgraded to JB 4.3 OTA). I would just like to unlock it for NAM configuration any help? Do i realy need to flash a sprint rom first?
version (*#1234#)
AP: L710VPUBMK5
CP: L710VPUBMK5
CSC: L710SPTBMK5
PLS HELP ME UNLOCK THIS DEVICE
I really don't know how to unlock a phone but I wouldn't mess with your phone since you did the OTA update to get 4.3. You have Knox now and that's bad to have. You can mess your phone up and void your warranty if you do anything with that knox
