So what'st the best modem to use right now? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I've been using NH7 with a stock Kit Kat rom but this ****ing TW rom is **** and keeps crashing. All of these outages are costing me. I know I'm going to either revert or switch to a different rom tonight but does anybody know if the modem sucks too?

Modem is probably the best so far , as far as the crashes something is probably borked somewhere , flashing the stock firmware will probably fix your issues.
After flash resist installing any junk apps or games and run phone with stock apps for a while and verify that you have no more issues .
Rooted stock / debloatted is pure and simple with no issues .
That's all I ever run.
Pp.

Thanks for the heads up man. I'm going to switch to a GPE edition rom and see if things get any better.

Having Wifi problems

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if anyone else has had problems with their wifi not wanting to turn on,
I've switched roms, I've went back to factory. Everything i can think of. So If anyone has some experience with this,
Or ANY clue whats wrong, Please let me know.
Thanks!
Why don't you tell us exactly what did you did when it stopped working
Nothing really, Just normal use on Stock when poof it didnt work anymore. I rooted and used custom kernels/roms to
try and get it back working. But it hasnt worked yet. I think It may have been after an OTA update from ATT. But that shouldnt linger after a full wipe, would it?
reboot your modem and router at home..
That Didnt work, It doesnt work on any wifi network. The phones wifi will not enable.
what does your baseband say?
Baseband is I317UCAMC3
ok, that is ok...what rom and kernel are you on?
Rootbox's 4.2.2 Rom with its default kernel. But this issue started happening on Stock, non rooted. And has persisted all the way through 3 different roms so far.
Ok, this is supposed to be only for the gt-n7100 version but it sounds real familiar and if it's a bug in jelly bean it could be your problem. Either way it shouldn't hurt to try.

Since we do not have a stock UCAMA3 Build to flash via odin, what build are you flashing to return the stock build ??
Are you downgrading and taking the update ??
We need more information..... as a step is missing I believe. ..g

[Q] One problem or another

I am trying to find a fully functional rom. I have tried numerous roms and run into 2 or 3 of the same problems. What I need is working ? . Working Wifi. Working Camera. And working GPS. Most of the roms have given me a problem with the camera. For instance, I take a picture in a dark place and when the flash goes off I get a black screen and there is no display I am forced to pull battery as the phone will not reboot after. I have not had wifi or bluetooth problems in a long time so I can not comment on that. I recently tried Liquid Smooth's 4.4 rom and the camera works, however GPS will not work unless connected to WIFI which does me no good if it won't navigate. Has anyone found a rom out there that is fully functional? I do not have service on my device, which is d2spr by the way, so mobile data and 4g are not needed. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
If you want fully functional with no additional stuff except what you want, just use stock odex, latest firmware is NJ2, If stock untouched is giving you problems then you may have a messed up internal memory or something.
Wicked S5
Phone is Completely Screwed
So i flashed a MK5 Modem on my L710t due to the fact that my wifi and data were not working ... I though it would fix this ... before that on some roms, the wifi would work, but the data didn't ... and vice versa with other roms ... Carbon and LiquidSmooth to be specific. I can't seem to fix it .. so i tried Unrooting back to all stock everything ... and no matter what tar file i use i get a FAIL in Odin ... i tried three tar files and even tried the 1-click.exe. got an EPIC FAIL ... i tried flashing a stock MK5 deodexed rom because i had flashed a MK5 modem and the damned rom wouldn't boot ... I really just want to revert to a stock Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III with 4.4.2 and an N8 Modem or whatever modem it came out of the box with ... CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME ...
please and thanks
Thanks. It was a pain in the butt to get it installed as I had to update to ND8 but I think this is is quite functional and what I was hoping for will see in a few days how the system reacts but so far the camera works and i am bout to test gps. So thank you for recommending the Wicked S5.

Downgrading back to kitkat

Well after being plauged with all kinds of issues on various 5.0.x ROMs I think I'm ready to head back to kk. Everything from Bluetooth issues to dropping calls to message duplicates to no messages to no group MMS and everything in between has occurred on my poor G3. I'm just wondering if there's any issue with downgrading. Right now I'm running a rooted stock 20B.
If anybody has suggestions of a super stable 5.0 ROM I'm all ears but I've tried CM12 (nightlies) which I had the most faith in and then the stock thinking "there's no way this could be messed up". Clean flashed them both multiple times and still having an array of issues.
Sorry for the rant just frustrated right now with a fantastic phone because I had to go and mess with it lol
Cheers
Well anything other than stock is based on CM. So bluetooth is basically useless on those roms if you use a headset for calls. If one rom has an issue than most likely they all will so I generally stay away.
Stock 20b has been just fine for me though. I would suggest a kdz to 20b if your still having issues. Are you using stock messaging because the issues could be with your 3rd party app with texting issues?
Its basically CM, 20b or 10r. If you can't get 20b to work right for you then your best bet is to go back to 10r and be done with it till 20c is released.
I pesonally don't use CM based roms due to the camera and bluetooth. Too many issues with those yet.
I might kdz to 20b and see if that helps. I was reading about that last night. I've tried all messenging apps including stock. No luck. I've messed with the APN settings and then gone back to stock. No luck. Kinda banging my head against a wall here lol. I'll probably kdz tonight when I get home and fingers crossed that'll work. Thanks

I am in the same boat as you. I wanted all the bells and whistles of the CM12 roms but so many problems.
Planning to throw in the towel and get the Note 4.
I am currently on LP xTreme v1.0 and everything works on it so far. (Bluetooth, Wifi calling, Messaging, LTE sticks)
Did have a minor hiccup when sending SMS while connected on Wifi but it hasn't lately.
This will have to do for now until I go back to Samsung, they seem to have a lot of nice roms over there :crying:
Good luck to you.

krowley3 has released his version of LP rom based on stock LP. i have been running his v3.5 (kitkat) since it came out as I see no enhancements and too many issues with LP roms that have been released since. I will probably try his new LP version out in next week or 2 myself. Judging by the past year almost of running his rom...absolutely no issues and the most stable experience I have ever has with a custom rom...
Thanks for the info... Maybe I'll give that a shot before heading back to good ol KK

Unless you backed up your efs in twrp the modem will stay at lollipop. That is the only way to get back the KK modem. But hopefully others can chime if there is an alternative way that was recently discovered.
just flash the 10r kdz and it will take u back to stock and just re-root.... what i did..

Need help on Flashing a recovery for sprint L520

Someone showed me the thread with the 12.1 cm rom and the .img for the recovery is it okay if I use flashify to put the recovery on my phone instead of using odin after rooting? Or does someone have a .tar recovery for the L520 in a drop box somewhere? also do I need to update my firmware before flashing a rom? I think I'm on firmware na7 on 4.2.2
it's fine, trust me use flashify. Odin doesn't flash .img files. No, you don't need to update your firmware, it's going to be flashed over anyways.
Seemed to work fine. That cm 12.1 rom still working okay for you?
There's a few little annoyances but it's working okay otherwise. I get an exclamation point by my bars sometimes and have to reset the apn to fix it. GPS has some issues so it's become more a roadmap than actual guidance and I can't send mms but that's not really an issue as I have unlimited data and can just facebook messenger as a workaround. I hope that these issues get fixed but I understand that alot of 5.1 roms have issues with the exclamation point thing and even some unrooted 5.1 phones have the problem. It would be nice to see a fix for these issues but I don't see anyone making any more roms for this phone and the guy that made this rom seems to have landed a job with cyanogenmod and is too busy to update this rom. What a shame but at least I have 5.1 now.
Hmm I suppose I'll stay at 4.2.2 till I feel like flashing 12.1 thanks for all the info. You don't have any overheating issues or random restarts right? Also how does the GPS not work well?
No overheating or random restarts. All things considered its a pretty smooth rom if just a little incomplete. I only tried using the GPS once and it came up with my location and the route for where I needed to go but when i was driving along the GLS was not updating my location. It may have been just a one time thing, idk, I havent needed to use GPS since.
Cool do you know a way to go back to stock if I don't like the cm 12.1 rom?

Upgrade broke the GPS

Hi all, I have a note 2 shg-i317 that was originally on Bell in Canada. It was unlocked and the aws mod done to it, I use freedom mobile, aka T-mobile in the states.
I was running a Rom for the past 3 years Slimfast 4.4 and liked it. I had tried Nugat on another phone, thought I would try the [ROM][7.1.2][OFFICIAL] LineageOS for N7105
I did the upgrade, broke the root, could not get a few things working, so I decided to restore the Slimfast backup I had just made (complete including modem etc) and everything works except the GPS.
GPS for me is huge, I use it a lot. I cannot lock on to 1 satellite now. Before i was able to lock onto a minimum of 16 in about 30-45 seconds, if outside.
I really dont care if I can get to 7.1 at the moment. I need my GPS back - any troublshooting for getting GPS to work on this phone?
James
I would try to flash the original stock for your phone and country from sammobile. com
Gps should work normaly then. If not your hardware is broken. If it works you can always flash your data back from your Slimfast rom.

Crap, I am posting here, because I did it again. Again not sure how. I tried to run Reserection, and I guess that messed up the GPS.
To put the original stock rom on.. I have to do that through ODIN? I dont remember how I fixed this last year.. Sorry.
Hope somone can help I need the GPS.
James
ps. Used odin 3.09 to flash the original rom... still no GPS
You flashed the latest 4.4.2 room?

The Rom that I flashed to try and restore the GPS was I317MVLUDNF1_I317MOYADNF1_BMC (mine was an originally BELL phone)
But that did not repair the GPS from me flashing resurection.. I THINK did it. I flashed an android 6 and an android 7 rom. (Mokee) but tried to go back to my Slimfast.. and the GPS was now broken.
Basically what I did a year ago.. somehow I fixed it then.. but cannot remember at all how I did it.
James
The note 2 sold by Rogers, Bell, and Telus are exactly the same model and stock roms from these carriers can be cross flashed.
Try flashing the stock ROM twice in Odin with a factory reset in between each flash.

Do you mean boot up the rom.. run the reset in the rom? or flash.. - load TWRP back in.. WIPE.. then FLASH again with odin?
Thanks for helping btw.
James
I have backups (complete all partitions) of my rom.. Slimfast 4.4 from 2-3 days ago.. when I tried this. SO.. if I can get the Factory rom to restore the GPS.. how can I restore the backup.. I saw somewhere that the EFS partition could be left out and that might help? dont restore the modem? how??
James
I meant flash with Odin, boot into stock recovery, factory reset, flash again with Odin, boot into stock recovery, factory reset, and boot into the stock ROM.
Nope, still no GPS lock.. I have the flashing circle (always had) and it will not lock.. I read about where people go into a service mode and rebuild the NV? .. I assume this is something that Mokee or Reserection did.. not sure how.
Any other ideas?
James
what about using Odin or TWRP to put different modems in? does the modem effect the GPS?
tried this.. does not seem to. grrrrr wish I knew how I fixed this.
James
I assume there are no loose wires. Does it get a lock when using wifi? Not sure what else to suggest.
Not sure about rebuilding NV.
No.. I broke it with playing with custom roms.. Liniage was last year.. I did not try that this year.. but tried both android 6 reserection and android 7 Mokee.. and I am pretty sure they messed it up.. I am also pretty sure there was something I did .. easy like load an old STOCK rom and it fixed it.. I was then able to put my slimfast 4.4 back over it and it was fine. Unfortunatly .. not enough people still using this device.. I will have to have patience I guess.
James
So I have tried differenct stock roms, but I think the issue is ODIN will not restore code from a rom image that is HARDWARE based. I wanted to use Samsung smartswitch but they disabled the part of it that allowed you to factory reset the phone, this seemed to work for several people. Many have also reported entering a code and going into a service mode.. there you can do to a menu that will rebuild hardware modules back to default. But I have not been able to get into that mode because it seems to be a touchwiz only option, and I cannot find a factory rom that is touchwiz based for this model.
What needs to be done is a true FACTORY ROM image.. that would revert all software and hardware back to original, but I cannot seem to find that anywhere.
James
The only factory roms that I know of come from places like sammobile.com and they are all based on TouchWiz which is Samsung's launcher.
So guess what? put Ressurection back on.. and the GPS is back.
I cannot get it to work in any KitKat based rom.. but now anything Marshmellow up.. works.. HMMMMMM
James
