Hello XDA,
Well I just wanted to let people know that most of the Rom's made available for DInc2 are amazing, Problem I've noticed they aren't compatible with Metro Pcs, in no rom was i able to successfully put the phone in Diag Mode. or OTA download Metro Pcs PRL file, so what i came to fine out is STICK with stock version of DInc2 rom, Unless someone here know a better solution to fix this issue?
Issue I found:
*After Successful flash to metro pcs then update to custom rom will lose all connection to metro pcs, and cant download PRL Files.
pcboy, do you have any updates on this? I'm looking to move over to Metro as well and I don't want to buy a new phone. I've read that using Houdinisoft to flash over will work but I won't have access to the internet - that's really not an option.
I also saw you posted in the developers section and I tried replying to that but I can't. You stated you were having some FC issues, have they been resolved yet? Was your brothers internet working? If so what did he/you use to flash? Which rom are you running? I'm currently using CM7.
i plan on doing this in a few days. i have had many other phones from other carriers flashed for metro and the only thing you need houdini for is to get your esn in their database. im sure there is a way like it used to be where you would just have to load something like qpst and load a prl on.
Hi all,
I'm looking under about phone and i don't see anything about update profile or prl? Does anyone know how to get to this?
Thanks.
i've wondered this since acquiring the PRIMOC but have just assumed there isn't a way on VM. It was so easy on Sprint/Gingerbread, Eclair, or Froyo, at least with a Stock ROM
you probably figured it out by now but if not...search xda for the latest prl for your carrier, put it on your SD card, and then use EPST to update it. I think the code was ##775# (have your MSL ready).
To update profile (this assumes you are still on virgin mobile), just *228. If you flashed it to another carrier... PM me
If your phone's ROM is the official ruu ...
Phone inside usually upgrade information ...
However, if you use the ROM production ...
You will not havethis option ...
I have the same problem with my old phone Cricket which was active before they went to AT&T. I'm trying to use it for qlink but theres nowhere to 'update profile'. Can someone plz help me.
I have been trying to find a for sure answer but can i do a system update if my phone is flashed to cricket or will it change my cricket flash as well?

If you're talking about Settings: System Update: Update PRL / Update Profile / Update Samsung Software / Update Firmware, don't do it.
I updated my PRL and it sucked down the latest Sprint PRL. I had to put a cricKet PRL back on the phone to fix it.
I tried the Update Profile option and it sucked down all of the information from the previous (Sprint) user, including their phone number (NAM), their mobile network settings ([email protected] instead of [email protected], etc.). I had to re-flash the phone.
It did allow me to update the Samsung software and it did allow me to update the firmware without incident, however, I am running a Sprint ROM. If you are running a custom ROM (including rooted Sprint ROMs), I would not recommend using any of the above menu options.
Hope this helps!

I'm posting a new thread because nothing I've found has come close to answering my questions, so I appreciate any of you bearing with me here.
I've been running a custom ROM originally downloaded from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910947 thread, using an older version than they currently show. I'd really like to post in that thread but since I just registered I cannot post in dev-forums.
I've been running a custom 4.1.1 Touchwiz ROM, rooted, modified PRL, TWRP, etc. for quite a comfy while now and everything has worked great. Stable, fast, all that good stuff. Info:
Baseband version
L710VPLF9
Build number
JRO03L.L710VPLBJ7
Kernel
LJ7 variant
Modem
LF9 (works better than anything I can find in my area, paired with custom PRL. 300MB roaming data cap for those of you interested....I racked up 16.5GB one month when I was tethering while roaming....got that letter [then got WiFi]).
So what I really want to know is why am I receiving notifications for an OTA update, and if I'm happy with how stable the build I'm working on is, should I even bother trying to "fix something that isn't broken"?
The OTA update popped up as a notification so I checked it out, and it's advertised as 157.6 MB. Has anyone in similar shoes see anything similar pop up? Is it a 4.1.2 update, and is it worth ****ing with? Or should I be happy with what I have? Is this a reflection on my marriage?
Happy to provide any other information needed...regarding the phone.

It's MB1. The newest OTA. As far as roaming, the new modem may help you. But you can also search the threads and install the modem seperatley from the ROM. If you don't want to see the notification for the update, the are a few ways to stop it. You can let it download and install, it will take you out to your custom recovery and fail. You can just reboot your system in the update notification will not come back. you can also freeze system update using Titanium Backup this should also stop the notification. and if you're looking for the latest and greatest, there are plenty of options out there for custom ROM's. There is a couple of MB1 ROM's already up and there is a bunch of MA6 ROM's up as well, which is the variation right before and MB1.
And to answer the question of why you are receiving the update, it is because the system update component of touchwiz, which is still active in your ROM. However it does use the stock recovery to install, so that is why It will fail when it boots out to your customer recovery.

Thank you for your timely reply, it was informative and appreciated. I have WiFi at work and home and almost everywhere else I go, or at least decent 3G speeds, so I'm not inclined to update the modem. I guess what I want to know is if MB1 or whatever the latest and greatest is really has any significant improvements over Jellybean builds. If you think any good custom ROMs are worth checking out, I'm happy for links and/or more input :good:

I'll chime in here.
If you want to see the effect of the updated baseband on your 3G speeds, I'd say just flash the MB1 baseband and try it out. It's in the thread you originally posted, titled "MB1 Firmware/modem/baseband update." If you find it's slower than what you currently have, just flash the old baseband. All the old baseband files are located in the same post, just under the spoiler tag "OLD VERSIONS."
As far as upgrading your ROM, I typically am a fan of the "latest and greatest" things (as are a lot of people are here on XDA). But I understand your desire for stability (I just spent an hour this morning trying to fix mms on my phone, for the fourth time in two weeks). That's the great thing about Nandroid backups. If you flash a new ROM, realize it's not what you wanted, you can, in one easy step, return to what you had before. I'd say try out the MB1 Freeza ROM (v4.1.2), and if you really don't like the update, restore your nandroid of LJ7
Hope this helps!
I have recently rooted my US Cellular G3, and now want to update it to Lollipop 5.0. If I use the regular LG Mobile support, will it get rid of my root? If so, can anyone post a flashable ROM that is just stock 5.0? I downloaded the 5.0 KDZ for the US Cellular phone, and extracted the System, Boot, and Modem.imgs, but the system.img isnt flashing correctly, leaving it soft bricked(Thank the lord form backups). If anyone know anything or could help me I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

Sorry, Im new to posting on the forums
I'd say use ADB to push the IMG files but I'm not sure if the lollipop root method would work on USC variant. I don't see much about that variant on the forums and I actually don't think I have seen the USC model # listed in any ROM topics here
