Hello all,
I used to have CM11 M12 on my SPH-L710. when I first installed it, I didn't have MMS or LTE. However, I fixed it using this fix from MopedRyder: http://androidforums.com/threads/mod-universal-lte-virgin-mobile-apn-fix-wip-cm-aosp-4-4-x.840298/ and I fixed the MMS with the fix from moonknightus on that page. However, when I flashed liquidsmooth v4.0 to my phone, whenever I flashed the MMS fix, the phone would not boot. Does anyone know how to fix this? It says it should work with all AOSP ROMs. The LTE fix works, but not MMS.
This problem persists on Android Ice Cold Project v8.0. Using Hangouts as the default messaging app allows MMS to work, but stock messaging doesn't seem to want to work with Lollipop. Anyone know of a fix?

You shouldn't need the MMS fix on lollipop, I didn't. Everytime I try to apply the MMS fix mine would not boot either, but just applying the APN fix allowed me to send MMS's in the default text messaging app. I'm on Boost Mobile. Have you tried flashing a TouchWiz ROM on there updating PRL and profile and then flashing the lollipop ROM? If you try this make sure you wipe internal SD each time.
Yes, I have tried it without the fix. However, the message wouldn't download. I cleaned up the phone before a new flash using the feature in PhilZ touch home recovery. I haven't tried flashing a touchwiz ROM to update anything. I'm pretty happy with using hangouts as the default messaging app, but is there any other advantage for updating PRL and profile? I've configured my ROM the way I like it. Will making a Nandroid backup, flashing the touchwiz ROM, and restoring the backup allow me to have the updated PRL and profile?

Updating the prl and profile will just make sure everything is up to snuff and communicating with towers and provider, in Philz make a nandroid, wipe cache, wipe internalSD, wipe to install new ROM. Flash TouchWiz ROM, update prl and profile, go back into Philz, wipe everything including internalSD, restore nandroid.
Thanks! Do you know where to get a good touchwiz ROM?
Wicked S5 is the best TouchWiz ROM I've run:

Make sure you can send and receive MMS on there before you go back to Liquid. That way if there is something you need to do per carrier instructions if it doesn't work, you'll have access to dialer codes.
Thanks. I'll get around to checking it, but I'm a little hesitant to because everytime I would recieve an OTA (before I rooted/installed custom ROMs), my phone's coverage would stop working, and I'd have to contact Virgin Mobile and reactivate my phone. Now that I've burned those bridges installing ROMs, I'm a bit hesitant to do something like that. Do you think this will happen again, or is that a stock only problem? Getting stock MMS to work now isn't a high priority (I'm fine using Hangouts), but I figure I'll have to update my modem, PRL, profile, or something else sooner or later, and I'd like to figure this out.

Burned what bridge? They don't care, it's your phone, you bought it. If you have ANY TouchWiz ROM and you call to trouble shoot a problem you can use dialer codes if need be.
I was under the assumption that once you rooted or installed a custom ROM you were on your own. In that case, I'll install a touchwiz ROM with no worries!

You're really on your own with AOSP ROMs, keep in mind if you go the route with WickedS5 AND need to call VirginMobile, don't use the S5 settings, use the normal one, if you read the thread you'll see what I'm talking about

For some reason, my phone randomly has lost the ability to make or receive phone calls. Any time i try to place a call, it simply says "call ended" before even attempting to dial. I have not made any major changes to the phone recently. This seems to have happened out of nowhere. Data and text messaging work just fine, but phone calls won't.
My phone is rooted and I have the leaked Touch Wiz Jelly Bean rom installed. Also using CWM recovery.
I have tried pulling the battery for 10 minutes, and I also wiped cache/dalvik then did a system reboot through recovery, to no avail. Is there anything else I can try? Would prefer not to have to do a full data wipe if possible. Unfortunately I can't even call Telus (my carrier) to ask them for advice, due to this problem.
Is your IMEI# intact? Maybe try a new SIM card? Go back to stock to see if that fixes it. (I know you said you'd prefer not to wipe.)
Just to rule out any ROM related issues you could always make a full backup from recovery, then full wipe and flash back to stock and see if the problem persists. This way although you did wipe you can revert back to you current setup in a matter of minutes like nothing ever happened, if the problem is not fixed by going back to stock.

Yep IMEI is still there. Anyone have any other suggestions before I wipe and flash back to stock? I'll try a new SIM card if wiping and re-flashing doesn't work.

This seems like a good idea, I think I'll have to go this route... thanks.
Okay so I did a full backup using CWM, then wiped everything. Attempted to re flash the stock rom but ran into an issue and decided to try a different rom instead just to try it out.
Dialler worked fine on the new rom, so that was great news. Then I attempted to sync my contacts and everything with my Gmail.... But nothing was there. Apparently I somehow lost all my contacts!
So, freaked out, I immediately reverted to my Cwm backup, which thankfully restored everything. Just for the hell of it I tried the dialler... And it worked! So.... Yeah I have no idea what exactly fixed my problem in the end, but I'm just happy its working.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

Sounds like the dialer app was borked somehow, might want to look into those sync settings though. I had an issue one time where the contacts i added to my phone were saving to the phone and not as gmail contacts. To check you can just log into gmail in a broswer and look at your contacts, make sure they are all there. If not you can go to your contacts on your phone, press menu and export to a .csv file. This will move all contact info into this file and you contacts will be blank, at this point simply find where you saved the .csv and import the contacts which will give you the option to make them gmail contacts. Then all you need to do is go into gmail on the browser again and delete and/or merge the duplicates.
Okay so I left my phone as-is for the past couple weeks until earlier tonight. I made a backup with CWM, then I attempted to flash a couple new roms. Did a cache/dalvik/system format/factory reset before each rom installation, then made sure to format cache/dalvik and fix permissions after each installation attempt. The roms installed fine and everything was working, except I lost use of my dialler again! So I reverted to my backup, but the dialler problem has persisted, just like I described in the OP. The way I "fixed" it last time, was to restore my backup....but that isn't helping this time...
Anyone know what else I can try? IMEI still intact, getting mobile data, wifi, MMS, etc... just can't make or receive calls again.
I should also mention that I a while back, before I tried rooting/installing any custom ROMs, I made a backup of my EFS folder on my phone... should I attempt to restore this?

I was running latest paranoid android and I wiped cache/dalvic cache after flashing Cerberus in recovery and when the phone booted up it was asking me to Activate (sprint service) my phone. I've never seen this with flashing roms and was wondering if this is a known issue with flashing roms on the S3 or something that can randomly occur from time to time.
Anyone have experience with this before? I had been running Paranoid Android for less than 24 hours but initially didn't have any problems whatsoever.
Itll do that sometimes depending on the rom. Usually does it after a factory reset and installing a cm based rom. Its just asking you to add your google account... you should be fine

This didn't have anything to do with my Google account. I guess I should have been more specific, I mean that my phone is deactivated on Sprint's network as in I can't make phone calls and all the info is missing in about phone. Phone number, PRL and such. I am flashing back to stock right now and hope this fixes it. Will probably give paranoid another go but this doesn't sound like a common issue because I haven't been able to find anything by searching.
When you get back to stock it'll probably reactivate itself. If not (although you can do this regardless just in case), ##72786# in the dialer should set you straight. If I'm not mistaken the screen you're referring to should be gone when you boot stock regardless. Its a bug. Doesn't work for a sprint phone but still buried in the rom
Ahhh... could try manually flashing your modem after the install too

Soon as I flashed the stock rom it tried to activate and initially failed and prompted me to reboot. Second attempt it was successful and then I immediately flashed back to PA and it is working. Going to give it another shot and keep the stock rom on my sd card this time in case I get stuck in a pinch.
I jumped the gun, phone activated fine but signal drops in and out randomly and will not connect to 3g. Just reflashed to stock again and everything seemed fine but signal was still back in and out. Checked under status and PRL read "0" tried updating to no avail so did the dialer code and it did the activation and all is right in the world again, or at least for the moment.
Just trying to figure out why when I flash Paranoid all my settings just disappear
*edit*
Just flashed back to PA this third time after fully making sure that the phone was working and had 3G data and all was right with the world (my phone). Will update if it goes South again but as of right now the phone is behaving properly. Maybe it just wasn't working right the first time and I didn't notice since I was on wifi. Only thing that keeps me from thinking that is I didn't get the Activation message until 12 hours or so after I had flashed and had been using the phone. /shrug
I still think flashing a modem in recovery after installing PA would yield a poisitve result

I recently upgraded to Cyanogenmod from the vanilla android of my Sprint S3. I've had no issues with it since I've gotten it running until suddenly today it refuses to send text messages. It receives them just fine but for some reason refuses to send? I found another thread on this but it just confused me more and seemed to be talking about non CDMA phone (an Italian Evo 3d) and it doesn't make sense for my issue... yet it seems to be the same.(Reference)
Synopsis:
1. I could send and receive fine for an entire week til today.
2. I can still receive texts but cannot send them.
3. Sometimes it will send a single text through? That could just be a fluke.
4. Turning it off and back on didn't help.
5. It says Error Message 34
Thanks!

You could try fixing permissions, or backing up your current ROM, flash a touchwiz stock one (rooted of course), and updating your profile/prl. If that doesn't work use the ##7282# or something like that (look it up please, I can't remember the code right now) in the touchwiz ROM. Those may fix it.
Don't forget to backup!

Well shoot. I did everything, backed up and all. On the stock rom I got everything working normally. I then went into CWM recovery and installed Cyanogenmod 10.0 again. And lo and behold, I can only send messages if they're 1 page. Anything more than that and it gets an Error 34: Network not responding. I don't know what to do? Could it be Cyanogenmod? Because that seems oddly specific...
Thoughts?
Since you can send single-page texts, it's probably a setting in the messaging app. In my messing app, there's an option to spilt messages, maybe try that.

No setting for that in my messaging system :\ I'm using the stock Cyanogenmod 10 one, should I consider a different system?
Well, I just installed a more recent Nightly from CM and everything is working. Irony at its finest: The "Stable" mod has problems and the nightly is flawless.

Hi all,
I recently rooted my SPH-l710 that was updated to 4.3 using this method: http://honai-android.blogspot.com/2013/11/how-to-root-galaxy-s3-sprint-sph-l710.html
Everything worked well and then I flashed the CM11 ROM (snapshot) and again, everything was working well, I could make calls, send and receive text messages and had mobile data. This afternoon, I found out that I had not been receiving text messages, I could send them and people received them, but when they replied, they never came) through on my end. I rebooted, nothing changed, then I did a factory data reset, again, same issue. Then I flashed this stock ROM (deodexed): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541900 and still had the issue. After installing the stock ROM, I updated the PRL profile and I'm still having the issue. At this point, I have no idea what else I can do the fix this issue and I'm hoping someone here can help me.
Thanks in advance.
Did u try reflashing the modem? If that doesn't work its something on sprints end.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
I'm shocked that root method even worked for you...did you update your profile as well and then reboot the phone when on stock rom? might wanna get back on the stock rom and try...other things you may wanna try when all else fails, reflash back to completely stock 4.3 which you can do by using my guide in my sig for bricked phones, which you're gonna need to do if you have to go to sprint for it, they won't touch it rooted
I did not try flashing modem, I was under the impression that the modem deals with data and since I had no problems there I didn't bother with it. I did try rebooting after going back to stock rom, but that didn't help. When I first installed cm11 I was having problems with getting Google Voice to work, but I restored the back up a CM 11 when I first installed it and tried google voice again. This time it works and I'm able to send and receive text messages and access voicemail through the app so as long as I don't come across any more issues I'm happy with how it is now. I appreciate all the pointers and if I ever have to go back to stock, I'll refer to this post, thanks.
Hello all!
At the request of Santod, here is a separate thread to discuss the SMS issue some of us are experiencing with his 5.0.1 GPE ROM.
The original ROM thread can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...m-google-play-edition-lollipop-v1-00-t2963841
For some of us, flashing this ROM makes sending SMS messages work intermittently. Some experience that only the first message successfully sends, then all subsequent messages fail. Personally, I've tried flashing v. 1.02 three times to no avail. My most recent attempt was after re-flashing updated firmware and radios.
Let's figure this out!
As an update, it would seem that disabling both cellular data (In Settings -> Data Usage) and setting the preferred network to 1x (In Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> More -> Cellular Networks) seems to stop SMS from failing.
I've attached screenshots of my current settings.
Perhaps this helps!!!

Damn. I'm glad there's SOME way around it, but hopefully a more convenient and more permanent solution comes along soon. This is the only ROM on any phone that I've been 100% satisfied with. Well I mean, it was perfect until I started having the SMS issue.
OP.
Can you pull a log cat after you sent 2 messages before the work around. i wonder if i can see something that i can help with. lmk

Sorry if the log is a bit of a mess (never pulled one before).
Two messages were sent on a fresh boot, one succeeded. One failed.

Problem Flashing Stock recovery
I'm having the SMS problem. I tried the method of flashing stock recovery and then factory resetting. I flashed the stock recovery and it seemed to flash ok, but when I go into bootloader and select recovery, the screen goes blank and then after a bit, an image of the phone appears with an red triangle and exclamation point on it. So I can't get into recovery. I reflashed TWRP recovery and I can get into that fine, but when I flash stock recovery, it still doesn't work. The stock recovery I'm using is https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712472879
Any ideas?

You don't need to do anything else with the stock recovery. You have to have it in order to do the stock factory reset. After you do the factory reset go back to twrp and flash the ROM again.
Well add me to the list of people having this problem. Setting it to 1x network only also allows me to send texts temporarily until I turn it back on LTE. Has a reset with the stock recovery been working for many people or was it a new idea that you decided to try greiland? Has anybody else restored their text history with titanium backup? I did and am wondering if it is a problem. I went from a fresh flash from 4.4.3 stock with all of the OTA firmware so I'd be surprised if it is something that requires a factory reset.
Also what recovery did you guys use? I flashed it with 2.8.1.0 and I had to do it twice before it would let me boot.

Stock recovery factory reset did not fix it for me.
---------- Post added at 11:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------
I'm doing the stock recovery reset based on Santod's advice (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55930057&postcount=1553). There's a lot of discussion about it towards the end of his Lollipop thread and his GPE 4.4.4 thread.
It just started happening to me within the last few days. Only thing I've done to my phone right before it started happening was I upgraded to Santod's GPE Lollipop V1.02 edition (dirty flash from 1.00) and installed the NuK3rn3l V2.00 kernel. The other thing I did was I restored an old Titanium backup of my SMS messages from a 4.4.4 backup. Maybe that hosed things up? But I've done full wipes, stock factory resets since that and it won't fix it. Only thing that fixes it is restoring my nandroid backup of the [ROM][4.4.4] NuSenseSIX-ART Edition that I had before upgrading to Lollipop.
This may have already been suggested but using an alternative texting app like Textra doesn't work. This is getting so freaking frustrating.
For me, coming from a fresh flash on mdmower's TWRP 2.7.1.2 and not restoring any messages (I don't use Titanium or any app backups) still presents the issue. App doesn't matter (I've tried stock messaging, Google Messenger, and Textra).
There is a logcat a few posts back that I pulled when the issue occurred as well.
Just an FYI from my experience thus far!

Have you tried the factory reset with the stock recovery too? I've thought about it but its a lot of work to do if it isn't doing the trick for anybody else here.

I'm in the same boat. If the stock recovery fix hasn't worked for others, I wonder if it's worth the work.
I think I'll give it a try as a last ditch effort if the logcat I uploaded doesn't yield any insight into the issue.
Not saying Tibu is or isn't the cause of the problem.
But my gut always tells me folks with this issue did just that.
Restored messages with tibu.
Are there residual side effects that continue to booger you up once that's been done, even after a full wipe?
I don't know, but restoring messages with Tibu is about the worst thing ever and has always, always, always created issues.
I won't even touch Tibu personally.
Haven't since a bad experience years ago, and never will again.
It causes more grief then it saves me.
That's my opinion on Tibu...
