This is for 4.3 AOSP roms.
Boost: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yu7swfntbuki6x8/BoostMobileMMSFix4-3.zip
Virgin: https://db.tt/7FRhsoXp
This seems to be hit or miss with VM. I have had people verify it working on the first 4.3 build of DU. You tell me. I know some people use this with Roam Control from the market as well.
Cricket: https://www.dropbox.com/s/96y7kebx7zs70zp/Cricket_JIG_Fix_4_3.zip
*Note- for cricket to work, you'll need to replace your current mms.apk with the one supplied in the JB folder (don't forget to set perms to rw-r-r), and manually edit your build prop to change the MNC from 120 which is sprint to 016 which is cricket.
*Creds to @t0xicdr3am for helping figure that one out.
I'm only really supporting boost mobile as I get hit and misses with VM and cricket in terms of people telling me they work for them. I don't have either of those services to test, so I cannot support them, however I will leave them available for you to try if you wish- use at your own risk.

Like I said this is for 4.3 AOSP roms. I just edited the APN version and added the correct proxy, so the updater script still says the same thing when flashed, however the file name makes it distinct so you don't confuse it with the old fix for prior versions. This is an edit of the old fix.

Yeah ill most likely have VM and Metro out in a couple of days. Maybe cricket.
Two infant daughters and work plus having to do this from my phone...
Edit... OK. I won't be doing metro or cricket. They require emulators. I don't have a computer setup to decompile binaries right now.

I applied this to mine, I'm on VM running Hood Pope cm10.2, and I'm pretty sure it stopped my data from working, but I did notice that I received an MMS when I wasn't able to before.

If it stopped your data you wouldn't be sending mms.

lol, as I posted that, I realized that. I suppose I don't really know what caused my lack of data connectivity. I'm going to play with it more this weekend.
Bump for Cricket fix.
I'm running dirty unicorns with virgin, and my data was also cut when I flashed this.
However, I was able to send one picture to myself right before the data cut indefinitely.

I have others who are using it with no issus specifically on DU??? I can't replicate anything as I don't have a VM phone. Sorry. You're free to avoid this if it doesn't work for you.
I know he changed some stuff in the second build of 4.3 that came back with issues concerning data and a few other things. If anybody else has VM let me know if this stopped working.
I'm running hood pope, and I'm able to download mms, but 3g doesn't turn on when I open apps that use it. I haven't been able to pin point when data starts and stops yet. There's definitely been some kind of change concerning the data.

If you are getting data and able to send MMS and receive it, then this isn't screwing with data. This is verbatim the same exact fix with nothing but apn vversion changed to what 4.3 uses. Its the same format as the included stock apnconfig file but with tje ports and proxies and so on changed to meet the demands of vm.
Did you guys wipe cache and davlik?

I was able to recieve mms, and saw that 3g works, but now it seems data only works when I download a mms.
I just dirty flashed it, didn't wipe either of the caches. Would it be best to do it before or after applying this, or both?
The only thing I can think of with my limited knowledge of how these work is that there was some fix in hood pope that allowed for data to work where other roms didnt have data working, and this changed that. But I don't really know enough to be able to speak with confidence about it.

Wipe wipe wipe. I go as far as fixing permissions sometimes. With my limited knowledge I'm guessing if there is an issue its what you just mentioned or if caches weren't wiped, apps could be dependent upon old configs of data that are cached.
Or I absolutely could have botched the VM fix. If cache wipes don't work I'll get the latest hood pope config and edit that. I'm no developer haha. I'm just a dude with a text editor on his phone and 7zip. I've deved a ROM before... But maybe I'm rusty.
Yeah I just dirty flashed it too. I'll try it again in the morning and be sure to wipe everything. I'll let you know if it works out.
Need to fix the MMS for my cricket on 4.3, is it working for anybody yet?

Okay so yesterday I wiped both caches and flashed it, mms was working, I would get "3g" to show up over the signal bars whenever it was downloading a message, but whenever I opened an app that used data, it would say that there's no network connection.
I restored, flashed again and it is the mms fix that causes the data loss. If you could edit the Hood Pope's apn, that would be awesome!
This does fix mms, but does something to the data, too.

This started a while ago. Even using Handcent I can receive MMS but not send it out. It says that they have been sent but they never get received on the other end. It worked perfectly until I flashed to FC24, and I just installed CM9 thinking it would help but it didn't.
It's a SPH-D710 on Sprint network
I already tried deleting the telephony.db file clearing data/cache and rebooting. That didn't help. I found a BoostMobileMMSFix.zip but I'm assuming that won't work for me, even though they were describing the same problem. So I'm a at a loss. Any help would be awesome. I saw references to a ##DATA# method for this problem but couldn't actually find out how to implement it.
Thanks a lot
I can't imagine that I am the only person out there on the Sprint network that this has happened to. Hopefully someone will be able to shed some on the situation soon.
Question---- if I updated with the BoostMobileMMSFix.zip... would it do something horrible to my phone? Or would it simply not work? Is it worth trying?

Hi, a similar thing happened to me recently on my phone and it turned out that because it is a work phone they changed the settings for my phone to block outgoing mms. Is your phone a work phone? Have you tried restoring your nandroid backup (I assume you have one) of your original ROM and checking to see if it works on that? If it doesn't then its something on the carrier side of things :/
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Well I don't think it's something on the carrier side of things, because it started happening IMMEDIATELY after I flashed out of my stock ROM. Unfortunately, I don't have a nandroid backup because when I started this endeavor I was such a NOOOB and I did it hastily.
Could this be an NVRAM issue? Would it be worth resetting that? If so, can you tell me how please?

So I just went all the way back to EK02 and still could not send MMS. After a few Sprint auto-updates I'm in ICS again with FH13. Still no MMS. I tried to update the APN settings (while I was still in CM9 before I flashed to EK02), but I don't think I did it right. I updated the settings to what I found here (http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-sup...86-fixed-sprint-mms-problem-apn-settings.html) but that did not help. Every time I saved it I went from having Sprint listed in the APN settings to having nothing. In other words, it disappeared. Currently thinking I will just stay here till I figure it out. Maybe call my carrier (which is actually CREDO, but it's on the Sprint network)... could be something on their end, right?

Good call on that one. I assumed since they're on the same network they'd use the same settings. They don't. But I still have a problem. I am on CM9, so I can't use a third party app to restore APNs.
I found CREDO's settings here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824916
However, the list of parameters in the xml there does not match the settings I can modify in the APNs manually in CM9 (accessing it through Voice Dial). Is there another way to restore APNs in CM9? Or can I some how flash backward to Gingerbread, restore, and then flash back without changing the APNs?
Please help, I feel like I'm getting so close to figuring this out!
EDIT: brooksyx -- your link goes to the same post on a different site. i didn't see that before i found the one here. Thanks for searching for me!

thankss Bannjio for your reply. are u on boost mobile too? also are you using stock ICS FH13? cuz ill be honest i never tryed updating the profile or PRL to see if it fixed the problem. and now since i couldnt send MMS iam running the older gingerbread EL29 where my MMS works fine.. but if i can find a Fix for MMS to go back to FH13 ill be happy.cuz i do remember doing something like what you just told me but on my old EPc 4G . now since this a second generation of the Epic Touch i dont know if it is he same story. i just dont want to redo my phone again toFH13 and update the PRL or profile and endup with the same thing about no MMS again.. thanks
No problem, I can see not wanting to reflash only to have it not work. I am on sprint not boost mobile, and on a custom rom not stock fh13. However, the problem arose for me when I switched from an ics rom back to a gb rom. Mms didn't work on the gb rom until after I ran prl and profile update.
If you end up giving that a shot, be sure to let us know how it goes. Sorry I can't be of more direct help.

I not clear on what you're asking. I'm running a doexidiezed stock MC2 rom. I see there is a Hotstop toggle in the settings for Wireless and Network. Since I don't subscribe to Sprint's hotspot service, I don't know if it works or not. I use Trev E Mod's WiFi tether instead.
Don't know about the zip file you seek.

If you used the same download to flash both phones I would just reflash the one without hotspot. If you used different downloads then I would redownload then reflash. Phones can be very individualistic and quirky. What doesn't take in one flash will take in another and what works on one phone won't always on another. Just ask any of the Devs putting out ROMs
As to the zip you are looking for I have a copy and you can download it here.
so you have two different phones. I assume both on MetroPCS. Are they both SPH-L900 (the sprint GN2 variant)? Did you have the exact same rom on both? You're leaving a lot of out, and we're having to guess on the info that's needed to make a good suggestion.
My initial though, is the rom suppose to have the hotspot? It's possible it was removed.
And even if was there, I have no idea if it would work. one, I don't know if Metro offers hotspot service. two, I'm not sure where the hotspot would try to go--metro or sprint.

I don't beleave it was removed from rom cause its on one phone but not the other I have wiped everything on both phones before flashing the rom several times this makes no sense to me also reguaedless of be on metro the hotspot app will not go to sprint it will go to metro or where your internet is programmed to (m.I.p. and ppp) ofcouse u have to unlock the hotspot in services.jar for it to work but that's not a problem I have done this many times and flashed hundreds of phones. I honestly am not even interested in the hotspot working just wana know y its on one phone and gone on another
well, that's definitely a quirky situation. Not a clue. I assume it was there with the previous ROM? You may have to format the phone, not just wipe the divack, cache and system. Something from the previous ROM and the new ROM may not be playing nice and somehow is still around despite the wipes you've been doing. Although, I don't think this is the likely scenario, it does occur here and there.
I'm not familiar with all the things involved with taking a phone to a different carrier. I know has more work than just a new ROM.

Im not sure wat is was but I downgraded to jc then back to mc2 and now its there. Changing carriers takes so settings chages in the nam programming for your mdn, min, mcc, mnc, sid also m.i.p. and ppp for internet and changing the prl. The mms is where people have trouble at for the most part just changing prl will give u talk and txt ( after dealing with getting your meid into the carriers inventory )
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
sounds like something didn't get removed when you went from whatever to MC2. At least you found a solution.
I didn't think switching carriers on the phone was the most difficult thing to do. I just knew there was more than just changing ROMs. Since I never looked into switching carriers seriously, what I learned about was more casual. I just know it's more difficult with Sprint having the built in SIM cards compared to other phones that do not.

Try flashing a different ROM and see if your data comes back. I just had this same issue with one of my S3 phones... no matter what ROM I flash I get no service. I am actually calling AT&T tonight for a warranty replacement.

Should be able to find them right on here, just search for your phone, your carrier, and whatever plan u have. I use straight talk, so I have to make a new APN everytime I flash a new ROM, its no big deal though, only takes a couple minutes...
I had a similar issue once. It turned out I had the ATT apn selected but not the ATT LTE one. Once I selected the lte one it worked (and it still worked when I was on 3g.)

Hi all,
I have been hunting around for the last three days and cannot find a unified answer as to why MMS does not work on my i747. No MMS function is kind of a deal breaker. I have changed APN settings a number of times to no avail. Switched from PA to CM and back no wipe and full wipe etc and still no dice. Does anyone have any solutions that are repeatable? If so I would love to make it known.

Does everything else work? Like phone calls, texting, and cellular data? If so, more than likely APN related. Who is your service provider?
Yeah. Everything else is fine. Sms is good and quick. Data speeds are tip top. Mms messages just stall out at "sending" I use ATT in Colorado.

Well if everything else is working properly, then I'd almost bet it's APN related. Double check, and make sure everything is entered properly, periods,spaces, capitalization. If so, and it still doesn't work, did u make a backup of stock before u ever flashed a custom ROM? If so, restore it and see if they work. Also, have u updated your modem?

Can you receive mms messages? Because I recently couldn't send picture messages, but could receive them. Turns out picasa uploader had some corrupt data. I would make sure that app isnt frozen or accidently uninstalled
Some of the newer ROMs have issues with resizing the image being sent - it is larger that AT&T will allow. I don't remember what thread it was in but someone mentioned that there was a change made to the mms.apk that caused the issue. They posted an APK that they pulled from a ROM from June (I think it may have been a CyanogenMod nightly).
--edit--
I think it was polobunny that posted it. I'm too tired to look for it but his post in reply to fastest963's post on a possible CyanogenMod resolution to the issue in the thread listed below.

I had that same problem with Slimbean. I sent them a logcat and the fix had something to do with "the lack of hugemem for kernel".
Not sure if this is applicable, but this guy posted a fix on a thread for MMS issues on a 4.3 ROM. Perhaps worth investigating?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44956784
umm...
what carrier are you? bell? rogers? ect...
i run pac on bell and get mms fine.
I had the same issue as the op. I use the app handcent SMS app from the play store and that fixes the issue sometimes. I was on cyanogenmod 10.2 when I had the issue.

So it looks like I was suffering from the ATT/cm photo resizing issue that was referenced a few replies back. The most recent nightly addressed it and it seems to work well now. Going to try to send a bunch of pictures of various sizes to verify its functionality but it looks like people with ATT and i747s should be on an even playing field on CM. I wonder how soon paranoidandroid will have this update.

I have had this issue on almost all ports and CM roms. Compounded by living in a poor service area. The only consistent fix for me is what Bruce Lee suggested and use a 3rd party sms, I like GOsms personally. Actually I like stock better so I turn off notifications in Go and greenify it until I need to send a pic.

I dont think I've tried again after fixing permissions so ill try that. Thanks. If its that easy, I'll be both happy and pissed that I didn't try that. I noticed earlier in this thread someone said something about the picassa uploader. I usually freeze that app, and was just searching for what it does. If you don't mind me asking, are you aware of any issues that may cause in sending MMS? Seems to only be involved with uploading to an account, which I dont have.

Only problems I've had with MMS are as follows:
"Sending" bug - either fix with "Fix permissions" in recovery, or just using a different mms.apk from a ROM it did work on (4.3)
APN settings - only happened once on a 4.2.2 ROM, don't remember which
Never used picassa uploader, or froze it (I don't use TiBu). But recently with the 4.3 ROM's I've tried fixing permissions is all it's taken for me. Just to be safe I've made it a practice to Fix Permissions 3 times before rebooting, also clearing cache/dalvik

Ok. Thanks. I just noticed newest CWM doesnt have fix permission so i did it through scripter. Only tied once though. It didn't work with that one try. I have also tried pushing new mms.apk but no luck. Ill try a couple more fix permissions and try again. Always nice to have new oprions for this fix so thank you again for the response.

No problem, but the newest CWM doesn't have it? I'm using Philz CWM ported by blackwing (somewhere in android dev), it's under advanced options for me. Which MMS.apk did you try?

I'm currently using novaGen ROM cm10. I tried different MMS.apk from his mrom and also a couple themed aosp apk's I grabbed from somewhere. The weird thing is, I use cool tool to monitor data sent and speed, and I can see data slowly going out but they never complete. However gosms worked on the first try. I used TW ROMs like Goodness for a long time with the same results. I also just got a new s3 cause my IMEI and or my hardware got borked and I lost my backup, so ive eliminated the phone as the issue. I do live in a tough service area but still after 45 min it fails. I get around 25% signal strength. I have tried in a better area in the past but not too recently. Same results.
A port of the Nexus 4 port. This is from the international forums, but it is gee-based so should work for us. Thanks go to @Kevinjoa

The link takes you to the OP but the ROM is in a comment on the second page. Also the dev states that this is an alpha, should we be linking to it here?
Also he says it's for geehrc. That's not gee. Gee is geehrc and geespr. Geehrc is strictly international. It might work on the ls970 but probably not. I'm going to try and mess with it anyway. But just realize what you are getting into before messing around. Might erase efs. If you're smart you have a backup everywhere.
I just want people to be aware of development going on in the international forums. See also discussion at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2807660, people are running this on LS970 though I myself have not yet flashed it
I don't want to link to that specific post because that is only release 2, he is already up to release 9. Obviously proceed with caution.
It's actually working. I'm using it right now on sprint to reply. It took a long time to boot. And once it does when you get past all the attempted update force closes you have to change mobile networks to 3g or it will APPEAR as though your efs is gone. Once you change to 3g (or possibly LTE, I don't know because I have no access) it will connect to sprint. I made a call but haven't tried data or texts yet. I just wanted to post results. It runs smooth and looks great.
EDIT:
Seems no matter what I tried, data would not connect. It also would not "stay" on 3G, it kept reverting to global. It did however keep my settings.
Keep in mind that was release 2. I did not realize when I downloaded it that there was more releases but I decided to give it a shot anyway instead of jumping to the newest right away (since I already downloaded 400+MB).
this is exciting, we already nearly have android L...just another testament to how awesome our community is

This one is slightly different than any other stock ROM I have tried to make universal. They basically ported a stock rom to GEE. Everything is working, wifi, calls, texts. The only thing I can't figure out is 3G. If you have 4G it's worth testing. I have absolutely no way to check 4G. I know 3G won't connect and upon fresh boot you have to connect to some sort of network and there are an amazing amount of FC's for update service. I think it's because I can't connect to something. I am at work now and have no access to wifi to even get past the setup, so I cannot get to settings and change mobile networks to 3G. There is no skip option. You have to connect to something, if you choose skip for mobile network then you have to connect to wifi or it will not pass setup.
I strongly suggest everyone give it a shot since there is nothing special like the KK that you need to do. I was even able to flash it on MultiRom. It will flash from any recovery and does not wipe any partitions. The kernel it uses works (but might have something to do with the lack of network). I am not sure. It could be anything until it is narrowed down.
@engine95 There is even options to update profile and PRL, though they don't work right now (for me).
Have you tried messing with APNs to fix data? I am on stock rooted ZVC, and even so I had trouble with MMS over LTE/eHRPD until I manually added an APN. Plus it breaks again if I update profile.
@dopy25 that's interesting. There's an international 975 Rom I was messing with where mms works but nothing else. Lucky has everything but mms.
I picked up the G3 yesterday but I'm still looking at getting KK working for the gee.
I think the apns might work from the G3 or maybe even the KK G2. No root for the Sprint G3 yet so I can't pull them. The G3 has GSM built with it. Lets hope it'll work with KK and L.

I have not, but my next step is to use an apn config file that I have and try it again. The one I have never fails me. (I am at work and on borrowed time )
I did compare them and the only difference is that the one that comes with the rom has more lines and the information that is extra is some cdma Sprint lines and some lines for Cricket. I figured those would be more updated but I can see how they would get in the way.
EDIT: the APN file I had caused the same issues. I am going to try to get setup using wifi somewhere and look at the mobile settings on the releas 10 and find out if anything has changed. I hope the dev that made this port doesn't get turned off he's doing some great work.

G3 is GSM and CDMA capable? Is that one of the new things Sprint has going on? Someone at my work told me their new S5 (I think) has a sim card. I didn't believe him but hey if that's more than one person now I guess there's more to it.
The problem I have is that I get no mobile data network, so i do not know if MMS works or not. Texts, calls, and wifi work. I should have tried sending MMS last night when I was home and on wifi. Would the APNs be different? As in an update in network settings or something? I can DL a G2 rom and pull the apn file from it, or ask for it in one of their threads if you think it would make it any different. The one I have is from an optimus G rom and has always worked for 3/4G.
I have not had a chance to mess with lucky or any of the fixes you posted.

Try an earlier release. I had everything but mobile data working on release 2. I would suggest either trying that one if you have access to 4G or trying another one.

It sure does connect to WiFi. Like a champ.
I ran it for a bit but had to switch because I wanted data when I left home haha.

This gets me 3G through the Airave, have to wait till tomorrow to test LTE.
Each time you switch from WiFi to mobile data, you get a flurry of update FC's. If it also does that when switching towers it will probably not be usable for me at work.
Right now my home button has stopped working, and the swipe to pull down settings is also stuck somehow. Anyone seen this or have ideas how to fix?

The APN zip gets data working including LTE. My issues with the buttons and settings pulldown were fixed on a full wipe and reflash. Wiping system cache and dalvik only and reflashing was not enough. Looking good.

Are you able to get data at boot, or do you have to get through setup using wifi? I can't seem to get data at all, but since I am at work I have no access to wifi to get to the settings to change anything. It won't let me past data setup of some sort. No skip.
I just now wiped EVERYTHING (except internal sd) 3 times then installed the ROM, then flashed the sprint.zip, then wiped data, cache, dalvik. And it booted ok, but I still have no data at all. I press skip and it forces me to choose a wifi network. I even tried connecting to one that I knew needed an extra login just to pass the stupid setup and I still cannot.
YUM!
Looks so nice clean I'll be looking forward to flashing it all day at school tomorrow
Gsm to cdma port
Alot of new phones will be gsm/cdma. Sprint and tmobile are in works of merging companies and what better then to have a phone that runs on both?
As far as porting goes i know a guru who might be able to help with porting from Gsm to Cdma i have seen him do many roms @cj360 just might need some test subjects.
