so i recently read a thread on howardforums on now to root virgin mobile's samsung galaxy sII. i just got one for christmas and wanted to try it out. apparently i used the wrong kernal when flashing it over to my phone using odin as they specified. so when it was done i attempted to turn the phone on and all i got was the samsung galaxy sII logo and a yellow triangle. i have tried every way i know possible to get this off of my phone. i even went as far as to research repairing this problem using the siyah kernal. i can longer start my phone i can however get into download mode and recovery mode. i have tried to do a factory reset over ten times but it doesnt work. the only other thing i can think of is to flash the original stock firmware over to the phone and hope for the best. does anyone A: know where i could get the original firmware for the phone. i've got it running on Sprints stock firmware at the moment which works fine except i cant get MMS msgs and when i follow the tutorial to add an APN or adjust my APN settings. i don't know why people have told me that it is also know as the samsung epic 4g touch someone explain that please. my model is the SPH-D710. the way i went about getting this sprint stock firmware was i went to samsung mobile and flashed the sprint firmware for the SPH-D710 on my phone thinking since Virgin is a relative company that it would be the same. but now my issue is that when i turn the phone on it loads up the sprint logo instead of the virgin one and it now has all the stock sprint apps instead of virgin ones. andddd. the most annoyhign of them all. i cannot get MMS messages to download no matter what i do. i've tried searching online for what to do i have found this Menu>settings>wireless and networks>more...>mobile networks> press menu> press ADD apn...etc etc. the issue for me is i get to mobile networks and hit menu and it does absolutely nothing at all. i have downloaded numerous apps like chomp sms. go sms pro. hancent sms. nothing helps. though this sprint firmware is fine for now. i'd love to know where to get the stock virgin firmware Samsung Mobile doesnt seem to have it. if anyone knows where to get it i'd appreciate the help i know i am posting in the wrong forum. i'm pretty much a noob at this. and now that its got sprint firmware on it i dont know if i can take it to a sprint store to have them fix it especially since my phone does say that it has been rooted in the past when i go into download mode. but however it does say i am running stock at the current moment....someone please help!! (( all i wanna do is get this phone back to Stock and use it that way. anyone who can help i will be in great debt to you!!!!
basically i need the stock virgin firmware and samsung mobile doesnt seem to have it unless i'm not doing something right. which is possible considering i ended up downloading the sprint firmware by accident and flashing it onto the phone. all i want is to put this back to stock and to continue using the phone from stock
The SPH-D710 is Sprint and that's how you got the Sprint firmware. Also known as the Epic 4G Touch. Yes it is a Galaxy S2 also for some odd reason but any firmware you get will need to be for the Epic 4G Touch. Check that forum out and see if there is any firmware there but I've never seem non-logo'd firmware from Samsung although there may be some.

i'll give it a try. so you're saying that i need firmware for an epic 4g touch because thats the virgin firmware right?
No, Epic 4G Touch (SPH-D710) is Sprints Galaxy S2 and if you download any stock firmware, chances are It willl be Sprint logo'd. Not sure if you'll find much in the virgin firmware for that model unless someone has ported it which would require root more than likely. Look around here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281
I'm curious as well to see if there's Sammobile firware and I'll be looking also, but you said you don't even have recovery from data wiping and restore?
A Virgin Mobile build in the link. Can't locate Garwynn's XDA post to link so I'll leave this here..

MoHoGalore...that seems way too complicated for me to even attempt (the build you sent) i already messed up my phone once messing around with rooting. all i'm looking for is a stock virgin .tar file for this phone so i can flash it over with odin and be done with it. either that or if someone could help me figure out the MMS problem that would work too. i do appreciate you trying to help alot though . there's obviously something wrong from when i rooted to when i put the 'sprint firmware' on. because as i stated earlier i can't get the menu button to bring up ''add apn'' under mobile networks. if i could accomplish that though i woulnd'nt be sure of what settings to use. virgin's or sprints? or neither? im suprised sammobile doesnt have firmware up for this model. i hope they put it up soon if at all. that would make life sooo much easier. anyone know a way of contacting them directly about this issue?

What I linked was a one click build that was done by Garwynn. I however don't know your mmsc settings to properly give you advice on setting back. What I was trying to tell you, without telling you, is if you flashed and broke settings, flashing back to the Virgin build should put you back.
Only other thing I know is finding a Virgin user that can read and give you the correct settings to set apn back.
Garwynn may know more since he knows a few users.
Is there a way to enter what addresses you need using ##3282# from your keypad? I honestly don't know much about what addresses are needed but take a look inside your firmware settings and go from there to get your mms back. You will need your msl to do any editing. Look under view-others-mmsc url and see if you have an address.
Maybe someone can chime in on the exact address.

if i had a virgin user to give me the settings i cant even add an apn when i go to menu>settings>wireless and networks> mobile networks>menu> add apn...when i hit menu under mobile networks it doesnt bring up any options. so i think flashing back to virgin is my only real choice aside from buying insurance. accidentaly dropping and braking the phone and sending in for a replacement. and going from there...

No, what got you in this situation was using the wrong build that broke your mmsc settings. You asked for virgin stock. That's in the link.
So to recap, if flashing broke settings, flashing stock will correct. Then all you have to do is unroot.

Lets try this again..
Flash the firmware from that link.
Install supersu from play store.
Launch supersu.
Go to settings.
Select full/permanent unroot.
The End.

Ok, So I am a total noob here. I know nothing about rooting, etc. The problem is that I have a galaxy note 2 but its the SGH i317 model. I'm getting low signals and they often seem to drop. However, when there is zero coverage, I see full signals but those are just for emergency calls.
I have come to know that there might be a problem in the modem. I need to know how to install a modem. Do I need root access to do that or can I do it on my current stock condition phone? Plz help a noob and dont expect me to know the meanings of all the difficult words of android terminology

What BaseBand are you on?, and Android Version? (>>> Go to Settings>>>About Phone There you will see your BaseBand Info)
Sorry for the info on how to find out, if you already know, you never know just how "New", total noob is.....
Did you buy it New or Second Hand? Are you using an At&t sim, or somthing like Straight Talk? Also might be the Sim Card, try a different sim card.
It is also my understanding that you do infact have to be rooted to install a new modem, I would however try some basic things first like trying a new Sim Card.
If you do follow through with rooting be sure to read all you can about rooting in general, I will give you a link to how to do it in this thread, but make sure you read it, then read it again. I used this method three days ago, with no issues, it really could not get anymore simpler, there is also a step by step video.

I'm not sure if your using the same device, but if your on the latest modem then. You might want to try to change your apn settings!
And another way is to unlock your phone when you get to your destination then purchase a, SIM from there pop it in your phone. Bam done should get better service than roaming! If that's what you were on?

Im using a SIM from Egypt. I adjusted the APN settings that were sent over the network. Still no improvement. My signal strength changes depending on where my location is , but usually when im indoors its the worst.
i have Note 2 ATT, i am having network connection problem. i can't connect to my ATT network connection . i get circle with line in middle.
i took my phone to ATT store and they tried changing the Sim card and even updating my phone to the latest update, but it did not work.
i tried downgrading my phone to stock Rom when i downgrade the phone. it seems to work fine for five minutes or so i even made a call after one call it started showing same circle with line in middle. i tried flashing all different Rom, i even tried re flashing MJ4 modem. nothing seems to work.
i research to find a solution but i didn't find any solution to this problem. right now i am on Sky Note Air 4.3.
please help me i appreciate for any help.
EDIT: i flash back to stock Rom 4.3 with rooted MK6 bootloader. just to see if it makes any different on my networking problem. And still have issue with not networking data.

Try flashing 4.3 rom from scratch (wiping dalvik cache, data/factory reset and cache partition) ? May be this will help fixing problem
If you want you can try Stock Rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891
Also make sure you have an APN set. @Bajanman has compiled a list of several AT&T APNs in his thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172110

They are not hacking my friend...
Have you verified that your IMEI and EFS folder are normal ?
And have you verified your APN settings for your carrier ??
You mention flashing several roms on the device...
The items I listed will help you determine if any damage has been done....and also help you get service again...
All are knowledge you must have to prevent bad things from happening...
If your carrier did an official update to 4.3 while the device was rooted and running custom firmware....then you absolutely need to start fresh to clean the device up again...
Are you getting Knox errors or force close issues ??
Basically....in order to help you we need a detailed status of the device...
Software version....kernel version ....and baseband.....
The information is in settings/about phone/....and will tell us how best to proceed....g

Reading your first post, ATT flashed your phone to the latest update??? And changed the SIM? And that didn't work?
Why did you leave the store when your phone didn't work?
They told me they can't do nothing about it and the warranty was voided too.

Interesting. I'm asking questions I guess really dont matter.
But why was warranty voided, or was it expired?
Again more confusion.... Just wondering why they changed sim, flashed update, then told you to hit the street with a broke **** phone.
I can understand not replacing it, warranty whatever.
I took an Atrix2 phone into the shop, no working data. I had called tech support, they had OTA refreshed it, didnt work. Set me up with tier 2 tech support, more resets. Nothing.
Went into store, got another sim. Turns out it was simple. I had turned off the data plan awhile back until I was ready to give it to my daughter.
Got online, picked a plan. Data lite off.
Point is they worked with me to find the problem on a phone that was 2-3 years old.
You probably should follow me how to in this section and flash the stock 4.1.1 and go from there.

We don't do recomendations on XDA. Such threads are forbiden because they ALWAYS revert into hapless arguments over what the 'best' rom is.
Truth is there is no best rom. Only the rom that is best FOR YOU. You will have to read the ROM threads to narrow the field down and try a few yourself.
Although the odds are VERY strong that whatever ROM you had for AT&T is available in the T Mobile version as well.

When you say you switched to AT&T I'm not really clear on if you just switch to AT&T software or if you actually used it on the AT&T network.

I'd say flash a stock rom in Odin to do a full restore to factory. See if that clears your issue. If it does it's probably safe to reroot it and go back to a custom rom of your choosing.
I'm asking this question because the current build of CM13 for the N910V is underdeveloped at this time and I was wondering if I could flash CM13 for the SM-N910T or the sprint variant without any modem issues, etc.
Do a nandroid using TWRP and try it out. I've been testing different ROMs myself. I don't care for ASOP. Kind of ugly and useless without stock Samsung Apps. But I have tested MIUI, and a few other stock based ROMs found in the international Note 4 forum.

Just backup your EFS, Modem, and Boot partitions for sure. If you get a successful flash, immediately use TWRP to restore those partitions and you should be golden. Might also have to edit build.prop to avoid Play Store issues.

Has anyone tried a Sprint TW rom 6.0.1? I may give it a whirl and see if it works.

what roms are available to flash?
Hi there,
I find myself in an unusual(i think?) situation in that I have the verizon Note 4 but i live in Ireland. Now while the phone is sim free for the most part, Data does not work here without a verizon plan obviously and it would have to be a roaming plan so I would'nt even think about purchasing one. So i've been waiting for an opportunity to root my N4, now that there is a method I'm just wondering if I would be able to flash a stock Irl/Uk rom to my phone, or another rom that would allow me to have data and spen features. I would like to find out if this is possible before I attempt to root. My phone is on 5.1.1 and is the BPA1 version. Any help much appreciated, thanks.

Pending you could add the correct APN for whatever carrier you will be using, you should be fine. I purchased 2 of these devices nearly 2 years ago. I'm on Verizon prepaid and my wife has been on T-Mobile every since.
Funny thing is I didn't have to set her APN manually. The phone did it automatically the day I put her SIM in. Now she doesn't get the full potential of LTE speeds and MMS is a bit kwonky, but it works.

Thanks for the reply,
do you mean add the APN settings after i've rooted? I'm intending to flash the vodafone 5.1.1 IRL Stock Rom if it's possible, I already tried adding the APN settings and it does not work(unrooted) due to bootloader being locked and like i said i would need a verizon roaming plan to be able to use data. So if I get root and flash IRL vodafone stock rom, will I still have an unlocked phone or not? I'm not an expert in this but I would assume the phone would then be locked on the vodafone network yes? Or would it remain unlocked to any network? So just to be clear, what i would like to know is 1. will I be able to flash a stock rom from Vodafone Ireland once i'm rooted 2. If I do manage to flash Vodafone stock rom, will the phone still be unlocked or locked to vodafone? Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

Unlocked sim and unlocked bootloader are different. The phone is sim unlocked from the factory and can never be sim relocked (for lack of a better term). So to answer #2, the phone will not be locked to vodafone.
For #1, I seriously doubt you could odin a stock vodafone rom to this phone and even if you could I'd highly discourage it. If the file contained a bootloader, it would lock the bootloader and could potentially brick the phone. I would recommend unlocking the bootloader, flashing TWRP recovery, rooting (or flash a rooted rom), and add your APN's. If the stock rom is blocking you from adding APN's there are hacks to get around it once rooted. I used to use an app called APN Manager that you install as a /system app that would let you change APN's as you wish.

Any Touchwiz rom should support the S Pen. I believe the Paul (5.1.1) rom does. There's a Note 5 rom that should support it. Just stay away from CM13 or any AOSP roms and you should have S Pen support.

Not such an unusual situation hello from Ireland also a proud verizon note 4 user myself. Meteor and Emobile for me. Data works fine. Let me know if ya need any help.
I am also curious about this situation. I got an awesome deal for my 910v; brand new unopened for 280usd. Only problem is T-mobile sim doesn't get service, and it seems people have lost T-mobile service after upgrading to 5.0. So now I'm stuck with my aging S3 and this brilliant phone just sits there. Fingers crossed that johnboy sees some good results T.T
