I have a virgin mobile s3 that I just updated to 4.3. I then flashed the newest sprint slim bean rom. Everything works good but i get no 3g or 4g.
I tried using the apk backup and restore tool to do the fix on this site but my phone cant backup or write the apks it says it has no access but I have enabled root access as far as i know. I am not even sure if this is the right fix...
Dialing ##72786# doesnt do anything, it doesnt trigger an activation or reboot.

Sounds like your APNs are not set for Virgin Mobile, I have done some searching, too many different sites list too many different APNs for Virgin Mobile. I would say to call Virgin Mobile and see if they can help you set up your APNs correctly. Your MMS probably doesn't work either?

Ok here's the scoop.. I have a Sprint EVO 4G and I am using Metro PCS I have flashed it and have had mms and 1x working on it since day 1 I first started with metroid 2.2 and moved to Cyanogen nightly I have also had it working on Miui and for some reason when I flash. Synergy or the kingdom red that's in rom manager they all use the 3d 3.0 sense I first get this upfating thatvsays hands free network updating and when its done it breifly says 3g but the web doesn't work and that quickly goes away and leaves nothing. I did breifly try the verizon hack with the prl which gave me verizons *2 but no 3g so I put the metro 2004 prl back using the ##775# and got my metro and phone back not sure if this effected anything but thought I should mention it. I HAVE GOOGLED my ass off with no reward. Please someone help me I really want to use the synergy RC2
Thanks

oK sorry for the title come to.find out it is all sense for me now it use to be I had a 1x no matter what ROM I used and at first was always sense now I can only get it to breifly say 3g if I update the pro but data web still does not work at all I also tried all the web mms packages to get web going with no success.
I don't know if this works on Metro PCS, but you could try updating the profile in the phone and see if everything comes back.
Under Gingerbread, it is System Updates -> Update Profile.

sadly, the one thing you likely don't want to do. is a restore. lol. back what you can up. for texts I use "SMS Backup & Restore" AND OMG IT WORKS GREAT!
but anyway, find a restore point and just keep going back one at a time until you find one that works.

I don't think I am familiar with restore points. Is it like Windows system restore? I would gladly do it! I also.want to mention I put the method sense Rom back and it has the 1x data working perfectly so I'm not sure where or what I lost but the one thing I can hypothisise is it might be an apn issue I can't seem to make the metro alms stick or they don't show up not sure but I looked at the alms on the metrodroid Rom and It was not there either on the other domain they have 2 Sprint1 apns
I hope you installed RA and did backups. FULL backups. lol. you did backups right? I won't even flash a wireless N fix without doing a full backup.
Hello there, I have been in the search for a perfect 4.4 ROM to work, I seem to be at an impass..
The 2 that I have tried, and Quite enjoyed so far are the Omni ROM and the Cyanogenmod 11
Both roms have the same issue, I cannot connect to a 4g LTE Sprint tower. I know the LTE Towers are working, My mom has the same phone, Sprint Note 2 and I have Mac's Rom on it and is picking up a very strong 4g Signal, yet my phone which sits literly right next to it, Refuses to get any 4g.. I drove around, went to known working areas, Never once did I snatch a 4g signal.
I played with the settings, it is set to LTE mode, I even tried Flashing as a fresh Install..
I tried flashing a Stock rom, but for some reason after it installs, and on boot up the phone does not work. I get a blank screen and literly nothing. I have to pull the battery to get it to turn back on. At that point I have to either Re-flash or restore a backup through CWM.
Any help would be appreciated, I miss my LTE Thanks
Same issue here. Not sprint though...
In cm11 set your mobile network type to cdma+lte/evdo or global. See if that works.
Next you can try to flash a touch wiz rom and do a hands free activation, verify lte works on the touch wiz rom, then flash to CM11 and see if you can connect to lte.

I have tried setting it to both. Global shows no signel what so ever on anything, I currently have it on cdma=lte/evdo and I just get a good 3g signal..
I might try that one out, Which is a good touch wiz rom to try and do that with ? I dont think I even tried a touch wiz rom yet

Personally I would recommend doing this:
Backup everything to your PC (both internal and external)
Delete the contents of the "0" folder on your internal card. If you use ES File Explorer, you'll need to enable root access, and then while in the app hit the menu button. The left menu will slide open and you'll see "Local".... underneath that you'll find the "0" folder. The problem is the way CM and Touchwiz mount the file system - they don't do it the same way. So when you do a factory reset in CWM, it doesn't clear out one of those folders. (I found this thread helpful - especially posts 2 & 4) I had major data problems on CM10 for 2-3 months, then I found this out.
After you do that go back to stock. Make sure you download the keep root file as well.
To play it safe, once stock, I highly recommend entering ##72786# in your dialer. The phone will grab the latest prl and update your profile. Whether or not you want to update the software (incl modem) is up to you, but I'd rather not get into the knox world.
Verify working gps. (I prefer "GPS Status")
Then go back to CM11.
I will try that out thanks

Update us on your progress.
If it works, consider hitting the thanks button - at the very least the guy in that other thread - I know I thanked him - his info saved me from going crazy!!!
I had working data (3g/LTE) on any touchwiz, but not on CM. It turned out that I had some corrupted data that wasn't getting deleted upon a factory reset. After I cleared out that data, everything was fine.
Hope your phone is back to normal!
Finally was able to download everything and run the tip, Thanks a lot dude! That helped and that did it ! I got 4g Back and everything is all peachy!!! Thanks again!
Hey guys,
I am trying to get my Galaxy S3 working on the Freedompop network with BYOD.
I flashed to stock firmware:
MD4_update_FULL_Odex.zip
because the MSL code (##786#) that I was supposed to use to reconfigure the radio to Freedompop's network, did not work in CyanogenMod.
In the stock firmware, the code worked, and I got cellular data and voice. However, when I flashed back to CM, the Sprint icon is orange, and I don't have data connectivity any more.
This is the version of CM I flashed to:
cm-11-20140708-SNAPSHOT-M8-d2lte.zip
Any ideas for what could be wrong?

Same with Carbon, but in carbon if the preferred network is 3G, or 1x, it will connect to those networks but it will not connect to LTE. I also noticed that in carbon it connects to LTE and 1xRTT instead of LTE and 1x800. Also does anyone know any possible way to go to 4.1.2 stock (from stock 4.4.2 KK)? I am also on FreedomPop btw.
Found A Fix
I searched a bit and found a fix, that didn't work at first but worked if you use it a specific way. It's the APN causing the issue. This was found out by user Merudo here on XDA. The fix is to do this:
1. Download a Ting APN fix .zip
2. Go on the ROM with working LTE (stock) and take it's apns-conf.xml (it's in /system/etc/) and copy it to the computer
3. Replace the apns-conf.xml in the Ting APN fix
4. Copy to phone with ROM and Gapps
5. Flash it in right after you flash your rom and gapps (e.g. 1st flash your rom then gapps then the APN fix)
6. Reboot and setup and it should work.
Again Kudos to Merudo for figuring this out.
Anyone get note 3 working on here? I'm on boost now with on 3g.. wondering if I can flash just a uicc card to freedom pop lte??
So as the title states I have the virgin mobile a5_chl variant and after flashing cm12 (build 05052015) I can no longer (or at least hardly ever) gain LTE signal back, no matter what ROM im on. It comes across saying I have no service and no signal and I can't text or call when trying to use LTE.
I have done the following to try and fix:
1. flash apn fix (obviously)
2. restore stock backup
3. try a different rom
4. completely RUU back to stock.
I believe the issue lies somewhere within the HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk but I'm not 100% sure about that. According to any thing i've found the HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk is the "vDM client" that allows for profile updates (when i try to do a profile update it either says vDM client has stopped responding or the the profile update could not be completed). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk but that only provided a fix once and when i rebooted my phone I lost signal again.
I'm pretty much at a loss as to what to do as virgin mobile gives me the usual run around that they are "having tower issues" so I'm hoping maybe someone on here can help out. If you need any further information please ask and I'll provide, I tried to be thorough when creating this thread. Thanks for any help.
BUMP / Can someone from VM USA upload a copy of the HtcOMAD_SPCS.apk it can be found in system/app/HtcOMAD_SPCS. It would be very much appreciated if you could
Same exact issue

Really weird been using cm12 worked well. Tried carbon worked perfectly! I went to bed and woke up no signal no data no anything . tried everything you did.
EDIT: just realized 3g also dose not work! in serious need of help. USA Virgin mobile phone. Rooted S-off. Currently back on carbon backups/new roms do not work. i get no service can only use wifi.
:crying::crying::crying:
I downloaded and installed NOBLE Note 7 ROM for a 910F. It installed and booted. Everything worked except the WIFI and Cellular. I Odin the radio from our phone but that didn't help. One of the VZW data fixes got me wifi. It's great rom and very stable.
Is there anyway to get the cellular working on a ROM that was made for a different 910???
Kinda surprised the data fix didnt work, you might have to go into the Mobile Networks settings and change the mode, or maybe even change the access point names.
