My gf just got the s3 for sprint. I have verizon. but she had a iphone and got good signal but now shes on the s3 she gets no signal at work. i updated the pri and profile but nothing helps. anyone know what i can do? thanks!
The Signal is dependent on many variables. Switching Carriers would be one of the those. It may that her previous Carrier had better coverage there. If she is Rooted, you could try a different Firmware / modem combo. If she is not, then the only thing you can do is Update PRL /Profile as you stated you alraedy did.
A signal booster helps tremendously! I had great coverage with my previous carrier but when I switched to Sprint I wouldn't get hardly a single bar, if any, in my condo. I installed a booster at home and problem solved!

It all depends on whether her device is Rooted or not ? If it is I would first check what the Baseband is currently. It will give an indication of what to do next. Also if her device is Rooted you may want to check out THIS thread.

its not rooted atm but will be when she lets me use it lol. thank you!
Your welcome. If it's not Rooted, and she will not let you yet. At least make sure it is on the latest OTA.
You may have 4g coming your way! My signal was completely abysmal. Now I have full 4g.

Make a Nand Backup. Flash a TW Rom. Turn on WiFi, and Update PRL / Profile. Check to see it worked. If that doesn't work. While still on a TW Rom go to the Dial Pad, and dial ##72786# .

Hi,
I wonder if I need to update radio. Are there some important changes? I bought Galaxy Nexus a haf year ago, rooted and flashed a custom ROM. I do not know if it is worth, And if so, which one shall I choose? I have GSM. I went trhough a post where there were so many of links for radios and just somehow did't get which one I should choose.
Please, can you give me a really brief advice? Thank you!

The latest is FH05 and if you took a 4.2 ota then you should already have it. Personally, I see little difference in signal strength and reliability. However, I have noticed that 4.1.2 based ROMs don't like the FH05 radio very much. Regardless of the ROM I'll randomly lose all service sometimes and have just generally odd things happen. Works fine on 4.2 based builds though.

Thanks. Sorry for the misinformed OP. I read your initial post incorrectly.
I have a Verizon galaxy nexus currently running apophis's build of the Aokp with linaro. This newest build is 4.2.2. I started having service connection issues after flashing his previous build which was my first 4.2.2 Rom. I also had changed Pimp my Rom settings but have since changed them back. If I'm on a call or my phone is just sitting there it will sometimes just drop service. Sometimes it reconnects, most of the time I have to restart. I don't know what it is. It didn't happen to me before I flashed a 4.2.2 Rom. I don't know if it is the Rom or the pimp my Rom settings I had or what.

In the Verizon dev subforum, stickied at the top, is a radio thread. Download the latest radio, the one for JB. Make sure you check the md5 sum before flashing.

Thanks for the reply, this has been pretty annoying. I realized my phone has trouble switching from one tower to another. I found the sticky. Should I just flash the radios for 4.1.1? That is the newest version they have for JRO030.

Yes, afaik those are the newest radios available to us and the ones I am using. If those end up not performing for you, you may want to look into some of those hybrid radios that people use, but I cant help with those because I have no experience with them.
Make sure you check that md5 sum before flashing.
Hey, So I was wondering which custom roms I should be able to try out now...I recently switched my Sprint GS3 to Pageplus..It's using Verizons network...Do I install Sprint Custom Roms for this phone or Verizon's version of custom roms for S3..Thanks in advance

Good question, since it was originally Sprint I would say Sprint, but you'll need a Verizon prl for data to work... take that with a grain of salt though cuz I could be wrong
Just make a backup and try some roms, worse thing that will happen is a soft brick, then Odin to the rescue! Just don't flash an international version Rom, that will hard brick you...
After you find out, let us know so we can let the next person know also, thanks! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Thanks for the reply flash, I agree about not using international roms for these phones, although I haven't tried any, I was able to see through some digging around that they generally don't work out...I flashed Sprint's version rom along with a sprint-verizon hybrid prl which is looking good so far..txt, calling, data and mms all working
I installed the phantomblaze 2.1, 5176 prl and finally flashed the TPR-MB.zip to get rid of the OTA updates pop up..5176 prl gets rid of the constant roaming notifications, that's why I chose to flash that prl for anyone that comes in looking..did a lot of research and the forum was very helpful..If anyone finds themselves in a similar situation, feel free to msg and I can help u out through the process..I am still curious to whether verizon roms would work if anyone has any experience with that, please share..thanks

I have tried three different ROM's so far on my SGH-T889 (Note 2).
First, the latest MIUI ROM, which is aesthetically pleasing, full with the usual tools, but a little buggy. The most important thing is that the it deals with my low T-Mobile signal (in certain areas) very well. This seemed to be the case with when I used the MIUI Rom on my Galaxy 1. With the MIUI Rom I am able to get H and H+ data connection in certain locations when other Rom's I can only get an unusable Edge.
Second,
I used the latest Cynagom nightly Rom which is really nice and some cool features but did not perform well with my weak signal in certain areas and was missing some of the features I have seen on some of these Rom's.
Lastly and currently I am on the Jedi-X Rom which is a really stable ROM with all the customization tools built in. But again, it does not work well with low and weak signal in certain areas.
Is there a place where I can find all the different .zip modems to use with these Rom's above for experimentation.

Okay, thanks for the response.
So, the modem used in the MIUI Rom is from the list of stock modems in the link you sent?
and I am assuming that these can all be flashed to any Rom I decide to use?

ROMs do not include modems. The modem you are using if you have not flashed one is the one that you had when you were on stock.

So I guess I have the latest modem because before I started flashing Roms I took the Over the Air (LTE) update.
Hi,
I have the older Tmobile Note 2 firmware. I have it VERY customized.
BUT i want LTE.
Is there any way to update to LTE and not update the other phone firmware?
If i flash an "updated modem"....does that mean I will get the LTE without the firmware update???
Sorry if this sounds stupid...im a newb
Thank u in advance.

Hopefully the member who answered my question can answers yours.
I wonder as well if the latest modem would give you LTE on your old stock Rom.
If it did, would the icon for data connection indicate it? Wouldn't the icon for LTE be built in to the Rom?
I guess you did not want to take the Over the Air update sent your phone from T-mobile?

I have a Rooted/Customized stock rom. I recently learned of the LTE update. Because im rooted, I updated my firmware via Kies.
I HATE the update. my phone is slower and EVERYTHING i had customized is now FCKED up.
I wish I could ONLY update the LTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it possible to update ONLY the LTE .... and if so ... with the 4G LTE notification get updated as well?????

That is funny. Before I started flashing Roms on my Note 2 I took the Over the Air update and Google play and everything worked great. I mean, LTE is only is certain locations right now but eventually I imagine you would want that latest modem (that came with the OTA update) because it is what allows you to have LTE.
I just flashed the latest modem while on MIUI. It took a second to register on the Tmobile network but it's working great.

Why it would depend on the ROM. From what I know the ROM wouldnt interfere with the modem. Usually, I just flash what ever modem I want and everything works fine.
Anyway, if I am correct then you guys can just download the LTE modem (UVBMD1) and flash it through your custom recovery (CWM/TWRP). And you should be fine and your data should be intact. Just make sure you do a nand back-up.

You both are correct. You can just flash the modem and not touch the ROM and you should get LTE. But if the ROM you have does not have the icons for LTE it won't show you getting LTE

rwilco.com has some solid links for the tar.md5s. I bought a prepaid sch-i545 (verizon s4) and it had its own weird rom for it, even said a different build # in the about phone section. I flashed the stock i545 rom in odin and its now a regular vzw S4. The same will likely hold true for the L710

are you able to get LTE with the aicp ROM also on the wicked s5 2.2 when it says 4g does that mean LTE? Also I'm trying to get one of the roms working on the sprint mnvo Iwireless.

Yes, the 4g icon does mean LTE. I'm running a ROM that my friend compiled and where I live there isn't sprint LTE and I'm using a at&t sim in my phone
Is there a APN fix or something to get LTE working for aicp? So far its my favorite other than only 3g data working. Also if I switch to LTE it says in the sim status that voice and data are lte. Just no mobile connection.

Right now I am using aicp mm. Only problem with it is occasional lag and the lte not working. What Rom did/do you use?
Thanks for the awesome help. I think I'm sticking with wicked s5 2.2 for now. It looks like it just seems to work and has the added bonus of being able to over clock and underclock a little. Ran into a few annoying bugs in aicp that's known but not fixed yet. (No 4g and forced into speaker phone)

I'm on nd8 and I don't have any issues flashing any rom or weirdness with features not working. My daily driver is a g900p and the same issue with the most recent baseband exists there too. I'll drag my L710 out and see what's what on it. Gonna be a lil bit tho. Household stuff to attend to
oops, im on MK3!! Ive run tons of ROMs on this baseband and havent ever had an issue. I dont have sprint LTE where i live, but ive been to places where there is sprint LTE and this baseband/modem/radio version has worked perfectly. The newest baseband isnt always best
there are many posts saying exactly what you said. Just they said nj2 was working fine and ah1 baseband doesn't work well. Also I'm not sure if you can downgrade firmware after mk something.
