[Solution] APN fix for TracFone (Straight Talk) variant when using custom ROMs - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I have a TracFone (Straight Talk) Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 variant. (SCH-S960L d2tfnspr) Whenever I used a custom ROM made for Sprint devices LTE/Data and/or MMS never worked properly. This is because the APNs the SCH-S960L uses differs from the standard Sprint APNs. It was extremely difficult trying to figure out what the APNs were since the TracFone APNs floating around on the internet are for Straight Talk BYOP. (AT&T and T-Mobile)
Finally I discovered a solution. Someone else in my household uses the same model phone but theirs is on stock TouchWiz. Using APN Backup and Restore I backed that phone's APNs.
Now for what I did after backing up the working APNs and for you need to do to fix your phone. You're ROM must support root access. While I'm not quite sure I believe you also need a custom recovery. (You probably have one already since you flashed your custom ROM) So I would recommend using CWM or TWRP. This may be necessary to convert a user app into system app.
Once you have this download the file I've attached. Do not rename it since the app you will be using requires it to be named that way. Go to the Play store and download HiAPN. You will need to give it root access and make it a system app. It will prompt you to do so. The reason it needs all these permissions is to access the APNs. Once you've done this use the restore feature and select the file. The file you downloaded must be in the folder for HiAPN. ~/HiDroid_Net/HiAPN Once this completes, check that the Network Mode in your settings is set to LTE/CDMA/EvDo. HiAPN may change it to a GSM mode which is incorrect. Then just go ahead and restart your phone. The final step is demote HiAPN and remove it if you choose to. It's requesting many permissions and it's partially in a foreign language. (What you need to do is in English) You can use an app like Titanium Backup to remove it since you can't the normal way because it's currently a system app.
I truly hoped this helped you since it helped me. Feel free to ask questions and I will answer them to the best of my knowledge.

This thread has nothing to do with your question, mate. But you can install Xposed on any rooted phone. After you install it, the Xposed app will have a list of modules, although not all modules will work with all phones. Nandroid backup before anything.

This is cool. But why not just flashing any att rom and just changed the build.prop from d2att to d2tmo? I have done it multiple times with no issues and flashed em out of the box

AT&T Galaxy S3 is the same 99% hardware than the T-Mobile Galaxy S3. Same as the Sprint and Verizon S3's.
Porting CDMA Galaxy s3 needs to do more work other wise you will have bugs but it will still boot.
But its been done several times and like I said I have flash several TW roms to my T-Mobile S3 out of the box with no problems at all.
i concur.... but thanks for sharing.
anytime
Besides bro, flashing a rom doesn't change ur modem, unless it's included in the rom zip and devs don't do that unless it's a firmware update for that particular carrier and comes with it. Most separate rom from modem even then..but thanks for trying to contribute to us all

SGH-S970G has an Unlocked Bootloader!!! Can't flash radio.

First off, I apologize for posting this in the T-Mobile section, but there is not a TracFone S4 section so I'm posting it here in hopes that other pre-paid S4 users will find this. I've managed to root, install custom recovery, and flash a T-Mobile rom to my TracFone S4.
Basically, what I've done is tricked the phone into believing it's a T-Mobile version and installed the TMo TWRP. I've tested this on a SGH-S970G without issues. I don't have service on it yet. I'm hoping to find an unlock (with the help of others) and be able to use this on other GSM networks.
I'm not responsible for what you do but if you'd like to try it, here's the steps:
Root your phone. I used Kingo Root - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473747
Change your build.prop so that it reads as a T-Mobile S4. I used Root Explorer to navigate to /system/build.prop. Change:
ro.product.model to "SGH-M919"
ro.product.name to "jfltetmo"
ro.product.device to "jfltetmo"
Remove the quotations.
Reboot your phone so the changes will take place.
Install GooManager from the Play Store. Click menu, "Install OpenRecoveryScript", and "Yes" on the menu prompt. Your phone will download TWRP Recovery and flash it to your phone.
Click Reboot Recovery in Goo Manager and make a backup of your stock rom.
Download a TW Based 4.3 T-Mobile rom. Here's a stock deodexed one that seems to work nicely - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545711
Enjoy your awesome phone!
I've also tried to install a T-Mobile and/or AT&T radio without luck. Here's that thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324667.
I've tried flashing the radio through Odin, Mobile Odin, and TWRP. The Odin flashings fail and the TWRP seems to flash successfully but when I reboot, the old modem is still there. Using this tutorial, I've also pulled the modem for anyone who'd like to try to modify it or otherwise figure out how to change modems on this phone.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21738380/modem.bin
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21738380/NON-HLOS.bin
I'm attaching a screenshot of my current build status.

You can't fully unlock this phone. Even with unlock code after the phone restarts you have to enter the code again. The radio does not allow it to be permanent. TracFone would need to either upgrade or apply some sort of firmware update to allow the phone to accept the unlock permanent. I've tried is 100% pure stock and still does the same thing. You are able to use normal but as soon as you restart is locks again. January 2015 is fast approaching, so am waiting as to what TracFone will do to fix this issue, otherwise people are going to complain.

I am on a stock unrooted ND8 4.4.2 rom. Tried to update the odex version from my external sd card and it failed. I checked the MD5 and it is correct but the error message is that the "footer Is wrong" and "signature verification failed". What am I doing wrong or does the native hotspot odex file not work with a stock unrooted ND8?

You have to be rooted and using a custom recovery like Philz to flash the hotspot mod or anything else but an official update.zip made to work with the stock recovery.
Use Odin on a PC to flash the latest Philz recovery tar.
Technically, you could flash it with just a custom recovery without being rooted, but someone else would have to answer (or you'd have to test) if it would actually work without being rooted.
You should proudly ask this in the mod's thread.

Thanks for the quick response... I rooted and applied the hotspot mod and everything is working great now.

I've been using PDANET+ FoxFi without a problem. 4.4.2 Stock Rooted.
Which adjustments in the configure option need to be made? I installed the app and am rooted, the app loads and says a network is set up, but doesn't show up anywhere. Thanks

Just grab the Philz recovery that ends in ".tar" and use Odin to flash it.... Or you can just extract the services.jar from the Hotspot mod and replace yours with it with a root browser, set permissions and reboot.

Short of a Nandroid restore, is there a .ZIP to flash that backs this out?
Also, has anyone tried this on v5.0.1?

Thanks, worked great on the N910T3 on 5.1.1
I don't get this actually. what do I benefit of disabling Knox ? can I install TWRP and flash a rom without knox detecting it now ?
Link doesn't work anymore. How does one find the .zip for disabling Knox? Is rooting possible if that second to last step is done a different way?
don't care for knox since i have no need for it. thank you!
Can I use this on a Samsung Galaxy J5 with stock 5.1.1 ?
Does this also work on a Note 3 Neo with stock 5.1.1 ?
Thanks ? ??
Please can i use it on my note edge 6.0.1?
I have Edge S7 T-Mobile with TitaniumBackup Pro vs.7.5
I have first backed up and froze and then completely uninstalled blow listed packages. I after freezing Knox, I found out through the GSam that all or some were still running behind the scenes. As you are aware, Knox is an enterprise security system that impacts the overall performance and slows the system down. It also has a significant impact on the battery consumption and battery life.
I am not responsible for your actions and if you do so, make sure you know what you are doing. Make a complete backup of your system before doing making changes via TWRP. I have downloaded ‘Stock Edge S7 SM G935 T ROM (G935TUVU3APG1)’ from https://samsung-firmware.org/ prior to doing this due to the fact that TWRP does not support Snap Dragon yet. Moreover, I have SOFT BRICKED my phone at my 1st trial !!!
p.s. Your version numbers might be different from mine. I uninstalled these files two weeks ago. Also, you might have different packages based on your provider's settings.
SOFT BRICKED: I have forgotten to freeze the “Frozen” apps, listed below prior to uninstallation of Knox and Kies

So last week my note started to receive the networksystemprovider error and the only way I can get it to stop popping up every 5 seconds is to freeze it, but then I cannot receive any text.

What are you currently running? Stock rooted OG5 with initial release of Beastmode?
You should remove ItsOn if running custom kernel- unless you know how to remove it. I've seen ItsOn try to repeatedly to activate itself- but can't with custom kernel. It prompts or forces reboots with no end after the user factory resets in recovery when leaving fragments of ItsOn in internal memory.
I don't know what you want to do but there's many choices:
If you're looking for customization on lollipop, checkout Moar 2.1b One day marshmallow will have a ported ROM of this caliber or better.
If you're looking for stability and maybe something a bit faster, try a marshmallow custom ROM.
Just a couple of examples. Find a ROM and follow the OP install instructions closely. That most likely means using the stock tar flash in Odin to update to suggested update and turning off automatic updates before the update nag starts. But don't go back any farther than OG5 with Odin; the bootloader won't allow the older stock tars to flash.
I was actually to go to stock marshmallow but with root like I have know. I have never been really into trying all the different roms I just want to have root for the Hotspot. I tried to look through the thread but I just get more confused.

Which thread is confusing? Hotspot, update and root (aka stock tar thread in general forum) or custom ROM threads?
Which hotspot method are you using or prefer? I believe the non root method requires a do over on each boot. Don't use much at all but I prefer permanent myself for the other benefits custom services.jar provides.
That network error is caused by ItsOn not being fully removed and the custom kernel not supporting it. If you use stock kernel, you could leave ItsOn intact but some consider it a privacy and battery liability: unneeded bloat and potentially problematic.
