THIS IS ONLY FOR VIRGIN MOBILE USA OR SPRINT
Now that thats out there here we go:
A prl is the file that tells your phone what towers to use, and virgin mobile doesnt get to use all sprints towers, however you may use them if you were to connect to them. This is what increases your data, especially in a 4G town.
follow this exactly as I say!
You must download QPST, the prl file, an app on the phone and be rooted:
1) download this on the phone "THE APP"
2) Open the app, and accept the superuser request.
3) Tap read MSL
4) Write down your MSL, youll need it
5) Go to the phone app, dial ##PORT# and hit on, then select.
6) Enter your MSL and click ok
7) Plug into a computer and download HTC diag drivers attached to this thread
8) Go ahead and google and download QPST
9) Download and unzip the attached 60681.zip
10) Now for fun, If anything confuses you, google it.
10B) go to the device manager, and select the unknown HTC device, then update driver. then browse>let me pick from a list>have disk>go to downloaded unzipped folder>choose the appropreate folder for your OS type>click the driver. Now open, next, yes, close. Right click HTC Modem, and go to Properties>Advanced port settings>see what your COM port is
10C)Open QPST CONFIGURATION and select port. then add port, here you type the port your HTC MODEM is on.
10D) Your phone will now show up, and you will click start client>service programing
11) click your device and ok.
12) DO EXACTLY AS I SAY NOW! NOTHING ELSE!!! NO LOOKING AROUND!!!!!!!
13) Click read from phone, Give it the MSL you wrote down
14) Now click save to file
15) Click roam
16) Click browse where it says file and in that you put the 60681.prl you downloaded AND unzipped
17) Write to phone. THIS WILL RESTART THE PHONE, BOOT MAY TAKE A WHILE DONT PANIC
18) Enjoy faster internet
i cant find the app needed to do this.. ??

Qpst is on sourceforge and the msl reader is in the market.

The above instructions do not work for me, maybe cause im on cmp? dunno, but i cant even get past step 5, nor find my driver
is there a different way? i have my msl, htcdiag, and q.. have all that.. not getting it done

The code can only be input on a stock Rom. And go to the HTC site and install HTC sync for our phone (under the downloads section for our phone) ant that install will also install the driver.

Need help ASAP. Can't make or receive calls CM10

Guys,
I made a call to sprint today to complain about my 3G speed. The lady I talked to did something to my phone and now when I try to make calls it says my account cannot be validated.
I called them again and she tried to help me by asking me to punch ##somenumbers# but because I'm on CM10 this proceedure does not work.
I did a hard reset on my phone but could not activate it.. How can I fix this?
Thanks

Try this but I seem to recall that there is a separate one for CM10 and I can not locate it so not 100% sure.

This option does not exist in CM10... and I can't find it anywhere online. Sprint rep can't help me either cause I'm on a ROM other than stock.

I will test it either tonight or tomorrow depending on real life and get back to you. If you can't wait Odin back to stock and fix it for now then put CM10 back on. Just make sure you do a nandroid and you will be fine. Although your current setup might be corrupt and you will need to run TB or MBP for data only.
EDIT: I tested I already had v3 on my sd card and it worked it even updated my prl. Get the one that I posted which is v3 then d/l the upgrade and follow the upgrade instructions.

You could flash a ns4g modem via odin, then use the ns4g modem patch for cm10 with then gives you the option to update profile and prl in settings

[Q] Tmo T999 No 4G

Hello,
Obviously from my posts I'm new posting, however, I've been reading the forums for a while now and have been a huge fan at the massive support of devs and other helpful people. My question, and I've tried searching hi and lo on this site and others to get an answer:
I rooted my phone about 2 months ago and kept ROM, kernel, etc. stock until about 1 month ago when I flashed CM 10.1. Everything was awesome, loved the layout and the customization of the ROM. About 2 weeks ago, I lost 4G/H+ coverage, and voice service was sometimes spottier than usual. Wifi was and is still fine, but anytime I left and wifi network, I was immediately given EDGE speeds. I ran speedtest.net and the display is accurate.
I tried searching a couple of sites and I read that flashing a different ROM could fix the issue. I flashed Wicked which again was a great layout, but didn't fix the 4G issue. Lastly, today I followed an unroot thread and unrooted my phone. I didn't reset my counter with triangle away because I didn't think that was an issue in the lack of 4G. And I didn't want to dig myself any deeper on possibly bricking my phone. So now, my phone is stock (minus the counter) with ROM, kernel, and recovery. Any tips or suggestions?
Something to note: When I tried flashing CM10.1 the very first time, I received an error 7 message on CWM recovery. After reading a couple of posts on here, it looked like the workaround was to remove the first line of code on the updater-script file in the zip. Doing so made the ROM flash without any hiccups. Or were there?
Again thanks in advance for taking the time to read my post.

Look under imei, is it still there or is it 0.

Its not really bad, but its not great. It means you lost your imei, it just happens randomly when flashing a ROM (no one knows why, it just rarely happens). Its not the ROMs fault, it just happens.
If you haven't made a backup of your imei, then you'll have to restore/inject the imei so that you can use 4g again. I'll have to look for the threads that explain how to do that and I'll post them for you.

I wouldn't worry bout it. Unless you get lucky it can take a lot of searching and piecing info together to find all that's needed. Imei restoration can still be found, but a lot isn't too clear. Data restore after imei restoration is not so easy.
Also, one or two of the important threads are gone. If you ever need help with this issue, you can just pm me.

And thank you too Doc! I'll post my results in case anyone else has this problem. I'm certain this will work. Thanks for the future reach-out invite as well.

Hey Doc, does everything in the video I posted restore 4g or does it just restore the imei? If it doesn't restore 4g, could you please post here or pm what steps are needed to get 4g going again?
I would just like to have a copy of everything just in case something goes wrong with my imei backup, If I end up losing my imei.
Edit: Hey keeeoh I removed the video (thank you Doc for the heads up). If you need the link to it, just let me know and I'll pm it to you. Once again, thank you Doc for letting me know.

Well, Success!!! Needed to do a couple more things but both of you were able to get me back up and running on 4G.
Dakine - Already got the video, so thank you anyways.
Doc - Finished those steps, for some reason I can't PM you so if you can PM me again to let me know what I need to do avoid this in the future, as I'd love to go back to a rooted phone.
Thanks again guys!

Awesome! Glad you got it working again.
Next thing is to create s n on-device backup of your nv data. This should only need to be done once, as you can't delete or overwrite it with common methods. It is also preventative so you shouldn't ever see this issue again.
Two methods
1. Install Andromizer and backup nv data
2. Install and open Terminal Emulator and enter this:
su
reboot nvbackup
That's it. Your phone will reboot and create the back up. If you do ever need to restore just enter this:
su
reboot nvrestore
Note: you cannot make copies of this as its stored across several partitions that are not easily accessible.

What were the "couple more things"? My IMEI was wiped when I installed CWM and I had no signal showing at all. I have restored my IMEI and it now connects to Edge but it does not connect to 4G as it did. My wife's phone still gets a good 4G connection so I think it is the phone. I have tried wiping it, installing Cyanogen and have now reverted to Samsung factory UVDMD5. Everything about the phone seems to work great except it has no 4G. Tried changing APN type and forcing WCDMA -- no luck
Thanks!

Low 2g and 3g but no 4g
I also can never get 4G in the metro. Even right next to somebody with the exact same phone and same T-mobile service who gets it fine.. I had flashed Synergy ROM and now S3Rx (stock kernel) but no improvement. My IMEI is valid, the Mobile Network type is shown as: GPRS:1. It shows the APN as T-Mobile USA (epc.tmobile.com). Baseband version is: T999UVDMD5.
I don't know anything else to check. Sure would like some ideas.

Test with someone else's SIM card. Or call T-Mobile as it sounds like it may be an account issue. Odin back to stock. If it still continues, it could also be hardware.

Hello Doc, I tried to pm you, but never received a reply, maybe my message is blocked.
I hope you can help me find cure for my phone!
After regular update of CM 10.2. using CWM my phone stopped connecting to 3g and 4g, I checked with T-Mobile and no problems on their end. I thought it was a failed upgrade reinstalled CM 10.2, didn't help. Then I totally reformatted Internal Storage and Installed LiquidSmooth 2.3.7, same thing, only EDGE data. Then I thought maybe I have to unroot and go back to Stock, and this time unrooted, upgraded baseband to the latest version, then installed Stock JB 4.3 but it didn't fix my problem. Then I came across this info about missing IMEIs, and there it was IMEI was showing Unknown at one point and now it is showing 0. I tried to follow some guides about nv_data.bin but my EFS folder doesn't seem to contain that file, it actually doesn't have more than that when compared to other user's screenshots.
At this point I rooted my phone again using TWRP with SU and De-knox and installed CM 10.2.0. Still EDGE only and IMEI showing 0.
Please, help! I can email screenshot of About Phone Status Page and EFS folder if you need.
Thanks!

Doc,
I just purchased a T999 on eBay with this same problem. When I got the phone, it had CM installed on it and had no IMEI (IMEI=0). I put it back to stock 4.1.2, still no IMEI. I did IMEI repair using Z3X box which worked, now IMEI is normal. Problem is that it always stays on EDGE network. I'm sure this is something to to with the phone and not something else. I have a couple of other T999's available to use to test SIM card, location, etc. and all other T999's I've tried work just fine. Only this one that I had to restore IMEI.
Can you please give me some advice?

[Q]What went wrong with my Liquid Smooth ROM?

OK ofcourse as all noobs do when they start a noob thread they state that they are a noob... Well I am a noob. and I need help as we noobs tend to ask for. I Apologize but I have done a fair share of reading and before I go of and destroy the phone further I wanted to give my own thread a try.
ok...
So I got this ATT GS3 everything was cool from the store but I wanted to reverse Apps (I Tinker with code here and there). Which would require a simple root. Great... Followed the Simple self explanatory TUT "How to root your phone without tripping the flash Counter". Started doing my thing blah,blah,blah. should have been satisfied. (Here is where the Noob Kicks In). Saw how sick the liquid smooth rom was. loved the look was just tired of stock. so I did it. flashed the rom (No Backup whatsoever just exported contact list :crying At a first glance I was in love still doing my thing.... then I started noticing the glitches (mainly video related). got a newborn and could never just bust out the camera and play proud daddy. So I decided to go back. this is where the big problem Happened. My PC doesn't recognize the Phone via USB(I've tried 4 other computers). Ive read atleast 10 threads and they all say I should go in the dialer but no one has a custom ROM. So Now I cant even debug apps on my phone. I don't know what to do?
From 4.1.2 to Liquid Smooth 4.2.2
Please Help
Sorry if that seems long.

Yes Using Odin would be a dream but my PC does not recognize the phone.... so IM stuck. there is a ODIN App now does anyone think I should give that a try?. Like I sed I just don't want to make things worst. all suggestions would be helpful

Do you have android debugging checked under developer settings? If no, try that. Had that problem awhile back and that cleared it. Also, have you tried using another USB cable to connect to your computer? Also have run into problems connecting to the computer because of that. Mobile Odin might be your only option if you can get it on your phone. Just search and read carefully.

ok so I used mobile odin to flash the stock image back on the phone... For Future reference After you flash stock image you go back into the phone in recovery mode and wipe all data (Cache,Dalvic, Factory Reset) I had a crazy issue that side tracked me for about 45 minutes. I got a Flashing Samsung Logo. just put it like this I was already on craigslist looking for another phone. anyway USB debugging still doesn't work but. atleast im back to stock incase I gotta deal with Samsung or AT&T I can prolly slide through

Weird.
When you connect your phone to your computer does it charge? Ive had this problem recently and the phone would charge while connected to the computer, I just couldn't use mass storage. Buying a new cable fixed it though. I'm at a loss.
Maybe now you're on stock try the dialer commands you mentioned in the O.P.. If you haven't already.
Anyway, good luck. if you figure it you should post what you did.

You lost your IMEI number
Hopefully you have a complete backup that can restore it.
If not, flash the stock Rom and search on this forum how to restore the IMEI.
It is not easy, so good luck.
