Anyone seen the firmware for the M9 that supports Marshmallow ? It's definitely out there as some users are running Marshmallow ROMs....
Any leaks ? Any news on official release ?
Is this what you are looking for?

No, that's not for Verizon plus it's a full ROM/RUU.

Yeah, I have been wondering the same thing. I figured something would have got leaked by now. Or at least some info...

The Marshmallow ROM for Verizon's M9 is still in the testing stages. Based upon my current build, I'd guess late testing stages, but don't quote me.

Oops! Sorry...
I believe Marshmallow firmware is only out for the dev / WWE devices.
VZW will most likely be the last variant to the update to MM, so don't hold your breath waiting on it.
FYI - I'm running the latest Candy6 (an AOSP-based Marshmallow ROM) on the most recent VZW firmware and it is running flawlessly. I actually thought I was enjoying sense until i went back to AOSP!

Is there a thread for that here at XDA, in the VZW section ? I've used CM-based ROMs for years but the only one I've seen for the M9 didn't have VZW support (yet).
The Venom team, and a few others, do have a test build for Verizon from HTC. However sharing this build would mean violating an agreement between said testers and HTC/Verizon. This, in turn, would mean no more early test builds would be released to them. This is not what any of us want.
You, and I, have Verizon M9's. We understand our devices are not the same as International/Developer... and thus we wait, patiently. Our turn will come.

Yep there's an XDA thread, but it's over in the general M9 section, here ya go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/rom-t3265048
The thread title still states it's CM based, but they recently rebased on AOSP for Marshmallow. Most recent build is labeled as an alpha, but it's working great for me.
So to confirm, Verizon is actually testing a marshmallow build?

I'm working my way through that thread. When it was first started, it appeared that there were a few critical things not working properly, like non-system apps being unable to read the external SD card. When they switched to AOSP, it seemed to improve things, but it's still not clear from that thread.
So..... since you're using it and also on Verizon, what doesn't work ? I've seen people release ROMs with non-working cameras, can't make phone calls, and other crazy s**t. I'm all for helping if I can, but I still need a functioning phone !!
I've got the ROM zip and GAPPS downloaded on my phone ready to go....

Honestly everything is working great for me on the build from 01-08, nothing is broken that i can tell. Data, wi-fi, gps, bluetooth, camera, flashlight, SD card, calls, texts, all are good to go. I haven't tested IR blaster as I don't use it for anything. And you will not have advanced calling/VoLTE available as far as I'm aware. But all good otherwise. :good:
I did see another VZW user reporting some issues on the same build like not getting a GPS lock, and their network incorrectly showing as Sprint and losing service whenever they drop to 3g or 1x coverage. But I have not had any GPS issues myself, and can't speak to the coverage issue as I live and work in an area with pretty solid LTE coverage and have had no problems.
I saw the one report of a GPS issue but multiple people saying they have no problem, so I brush off that "issue". I do have advanced calling enabled but no one I call does, so it doesn't matter. If I'm not mistaken, both ends need it enabled (?). Either way, it won't stop me.

I never had a gps lock when I went from sense to aosp. That was my problem. Switching from LTE to 3g and 1x because of fringe coverage , and having it read sprint pcs was just odd. Other than that, it's a great rom
No problem with GPS here. I just tried it for the first time with Google Maps and it showed my location spot-on. I also tried GPS Status and got a fix on 15/20 satellites (inside).

locks super quick too. Once i went and flashed a sense rom, got my lock, then went back to aosp, all was good. Do me a favor, download 4g switcher from the play store (its got a red power button logo). Since your in good 4g coverage. in this app, goto the dropdown menu that lists the radio bands (CDMA/EVDO/GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto is set by default) select CDMA auto (PRL) (this will force you into 3g mode). Then see if you see either 3107 or sprint PCS as your coverage. Then try to browse to a webpage or something on the 3g, i couldnt get data to work in that mode whatsoever. Then at least ill know if im sane. Thank you
Don't need an app for that - just dial "*#*#4636#*#*"
It shows "Sprint PCS" when I switch to 3G mode. I'm not going to chance any data roaming charges though... Sorry
Did you toggle Settings, Cellular Networks, Data roaming to 'on' ? It's off by default. That could be why you couldn't browse on 3G.

Howdy Folks!
I recently got a SGH-I927 that is locked to AT&T.
I have read what I believe is all the relevant data about how to do the things I want, and I think I have it down, but I want to make sure I have everything exactly correct. I still have 6 days left with Virgin Mobile before I have to have all this done.
What I want to do...
Root
Back up my EFS
Update from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4
Carrier Unlock from AT&T so I can use a T-Mobile MVNO.
So my question is- is this the best order to do things in? I know I have to root before I can Unlock the phone or Backup my EFS, but I notice that there are two different methods for Rooting. I can root before I update to ICS or after. Does it make a difference? Which method is easier, which one is more reliable/safer? I also noticed that Unlocking the phone after updating to ICS requires an extra step, so that would be another factor.
Kies seems to be working, and when I plugged my phone in, it offered to update me from 2.3.6 (Baseband Ver I927UCKL1) to 4.04 (Baseband Ver I927UCLJ3), so it doesn't seem like updating will be a problem.
Are there any major issues with version two of the ICS update? I have read a lot of people that had issues with the first version of ICS that got released, and I know AT&T pulled it as an OTR update, but haven't heard a lot about version two. The people who have it are you satisfied with it? Did anyone prefer Gingerbread?
Thanks in advance for any help, and sorry if these questions have been answered already, I really did read through a LOT of information before posting here, and haven't seen these answered.
You don't need to root to unlock the phone. You just need to insert a code you buy from a seller on the internet.
I'm running the ULCHJ version of ICS and it works fine. I experienced the same GPS issue i had in GB, but the same fix worked it out and it I'm totally happy with it.
I can say, hope i won't regret, that there's nothing i should fix so far. Some minor issues were fixed as soon as i went through, I'm quite satisfied with this ROM now.

hi dark blaidd, welcome to glide!
if i were to do it over again i would backup my efs via adb on my computer before rooting or anything.
i used fastgsm to unlock my phone which is a codeless way to unlock and i suspect its how i lost my imei
certainly get a code and use dmans uclj3 deodexed rooted as the stable rom.. then you can use es explorer to modify sirgps.conf and gps.conf to get your gps working. before i switched to cm10.1 JB I was running it with no issues and instant GPS lock in all apps.
I will likely switch back as I have a new hands free stereo for my car that I would like to legally take advantage of
let us know if you run into issues you will need to do a few searches.

I can't believe I am about to say this, I have spent the last two years on custom ROMs, but I think I am fine with stock for now. The ROMs for the Glide look promising, but I MUST have Camera and Bluetooth, so I will probably wait until those issues get ironed out. There is also a chance that Samsung will update us to Jellybean, they just released an update for the Galaxy S2, so it's possible.

Don't bother with ICS, the official ROM has issues and we never did much dev at that level. Go to CM10.1 once you have the ICS bootloader.

About that... AT&T phones, even once unlocked, cannot use UMTS or HSPA+ on T-Mobile's network. It's a physical limitation of the radio. ONLY do this if you already KNOW you will be happy with EDGE.

I'm in same boat here I guess. Just ordered a Glide, looking forward to having a physical keyboard again since my TP2 days. I was checking out the ROM options, found the link for "Stock UCLJ3 Rom" and it looks like that is the way go, other than maybe just staying stock... I need Bluetooth, Camera, GPS, and Tethering to work, so I guess I won't be messing around with anything fancy.
So don't do any OTA upgrade at all when I first get it out of the box? Just back it up, then root, and install UCLJ3 via CWM? Is this the best choice?

There is not and never has been GPS problems that actually affect normal use. I don't know where people are getting that from. There's some anomalies in the data returned, but nothing that's actually used by the location API.
Bluetooth itself works, but there are some audio layer problems that interfere with headsets/earpieces and the like. (TBH our whole audio layer is a mess right now.) Stuff like OBEX and tethering should work fine.
Speaking of audio layer issues... there's still a longstanding bug where if userspace (i.e. an app; normal cell network phonecalls are fine) opens the microphone, audio output is corrupted. The biggest problem caused by this is the other person is basically unintelligible when calling in Skype. That and Bluetooth audio routing are really the only big problems we still have.
The camera was fixed months and months and months ago. I discovered the original fix even. There was a problem with audio in the video recorder that has now been solved recently.

OK, so then just the random app microphone and bluetooth issues still remain... So you still say it's worth it? I'm leaning towards the debloated rooted stock as I'm just lazy and want everything to work.

Official ICS was something of a ****storm, as Samsung never did get it to work quite right. There was a myriad of weird keyboard issues, intermittent radio problems, and come to think of it, I think I know where the GPS thing came from... official ROMs have lethargic GPS if you're not on AT&T. I'd say 99% of power users with a Glide are on one build/variant or the other of CM10.1 because it's the most problem-free ROM that's not, ugh, Gingerbread.
The primary value of official ICS to us was the kernel sources and RIL blobs -- the last few critical bits and pieces we needed to make our own ROMs and properly connect them to all the phone hardware.
I'd say, once you have everything backed up:
Flash official ICS UCLJ3 (for the bootloader and baseband)
Flash CWM over the top of it
Use CWM to flash the current CM10.1 build and gapps. Call it good.

Might as well, as if it happens to be UCLJ3, well, it just did Step 1 for you, and if not, well, it doesn't matter either way.
You don't really need root for any of this since our bootloader is unlocked OOB.

I only home that you switched all these ROMs with clean installs. Did you?
Of course
yea same here got a gnex on eBay having trouble getting it going ..looks like I'm going to an old ROM that my other gnex runs and at least has data connection

maybe broken driver ~ reflash kernel with wifi driver works for me. ( changing rom didnt change anything to radio/driver setting)

rom can affects data coverage from the Rils files (in libs). usually continuously using 4.3 rils right now cause google doesn't update for gnex. gnex roms still on progress in this. CM & slim update the coverage issues so far. dont know wt others. sorry if im wrong..

I dont know what carrier you are on but when I was using my Verizon Galaxy Nexus, every ROM I flashed usually had no data on first boot. I got in the habit of rebooting the phone before I even went through the setup and after that, data had no issues. It was a known thing. Toggling airplane mode and 3g/LTE was also known to cause issues at one point. So if you clean flash, boot up and let it sit for a few seconds before going through the google setup. If data doesnt automatically connect, reboot right away. It should connect fine after that.
Yeah I'm on Verizon now. Hopefully making the switch to T-mo in about a month. The problem is not that data doesn't connect at all, the problem is that it will drop out and never come back. I live in Boston and in the subway I will lose the signal underground and it will never come back. Also my office is right in the main downtown area and I barely get a 3G signal no matter what. I know my signal strength isn't part of this problem. It's the data connection somehow becoming disconnected and staying idle that is stopping me from staying on KK.

Since you're on Verizon check shiny Rom. The guys there have done a lot of tweaking to improve data.
The reason data is problematic is partially since the gnex is no longer supported and the toro variant has had no officially android release since 4.2.2 and the ril and telephony stack have changed how they work with cdma in both 4.3 and 4.4. I believe the toro uses a bit of an older radio. Is this a problem when you disable 4g as well?

I've gotta say that Shiny ROM is just about flawless. I've never had issues getting or keeping a data connection when there's signal. I'm using the FK01/FK02 radios from 4.2.2 and the 4.2 bootloader.
I'll give my little testimony here: a basic stock rom will get you farther than a fully-featured one. I've heard the expression "mo' features, mo' bugs" and that seems to fit quite well. I'm not aware of any features in any rom that you can't get from one xposed module or another, so that's what I've been doing. I'd say give it a try and see if your data issues are resolved for good.
Shiny has always worked fine for me. I run latest everything.. bootloader, radio. CM I think worked fine for me but was ugly. Paranoid Android seems to have some connectivity issues.. I wish someone could solve this data issues. Maybe it is time to leave my nexus behind Just been waiting for another verizon nexus

wow.. lot of roms tested. that pretty brilliant idea for solving this. just use the best. data networks really different for each country.
* i found out a different in apn setting wt different rom. slim rom only captured 4g by my local provider (APN). when im tried asob its give choice in Apn setting ( 3g /4g). my country not fully h+ at several area. so changing to 3g got better network (better low than nothing)

I don't think that applies to CDMA
Hey guys,
I think I've reached the point where it's time to call in the cavalry and see if anyone around here is having the same issue; there appears to be a plague going around on the Verizon network, specifically in the Pennsylvania area, preventing people from sending SMS, but still receiving fine (and 4G works fine too, for the record). MMS still sends / receives fine, but I'm unable to send SMS. There are tricks to allowing a single SMS message to go through which involves toggling Airplane mode on / off every. Single. Time. People have also had success with turning 4G off completely, using the CDMA band after a reboot at which point they can send *several*, but still end up with the same issue.
The only solution I've read about that FIXED it is by reverting back to complete stock from VZW. Performing factory resets, using other ROMs, etc etc...doesn't work. I'd REALLY rather not do this and, frankly, would rather use 3G / toggle Airplane mode for texts than use Sense and get off of my ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560831).
People from other device forums on XDA are having the same problem; the ones I've seen that are active discussions are the Samsung Galaxy S III & IV. They're mostly CM ROMs *as well as* AOSP ROMs in general.

SIM card replacements are a no-go, and the recorded instances seem to be in the 717 / 570 area codes, mostly. Now I DO know that VZW released an OTA update for the One recently, and I'm relatively confident that would fix the issue, but I've no idea why. I'm thinking perhaps they dispatched new radios? I looked around a bit and couldn't find any flashable zips of radios extracted from the latest OTA, that's the next step I'll be trying once that download finishes.
So is anyone else having this issue? Any word on fixes?
The newest firmware from the latest OTA can be found in the 2nd post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319
If you've already flashed the latest firmware then I'm not sure what to tell you... maybe ask your favorite rom developer to take a look at the latest OTA in regards to this issue?
If it has the stock rom and OTA update why not take it to the store and let them look at it. Something might be wrong with your account.

Hey guys,
I think I've reached the point where it's time to call in the cavalry and see if anyone around here is having the same issue; there appears to be a plague going around on the Verizon network, specifically in the Pennsylvania area, preventing people from sending SMS, but still receiving fine (and 4G works fine too, for the record). MMS still sends / receives fine, but I'm unable to send SMS. There are tricks to allowing a single SMS message to go through which involves toggling Airplane mode on / off every. Single. Time. People have also had success with turning 4G off completely, using the CDMA band after a reboot at which point they can send *several*, but still end up with the same issue.
The only solution I've read about that FIXED it is by reverting back to complete stock from VZW. Performing factory resets, using other ROMs, etc etc...doesn't work. I'd REALLY rather not do this and, frankly, would rather use 3G / toggle Airplane mode for texts than use Sense and get off of my ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560831).

Those area codes for all phones on aosp roms are not working right now. Since 2/20/14. Has nothing to do with HTC or their firmware. I'ts a bizarre Verizon 4G issue. I am in the 717 area code with a Note 2 with the issue. I have seen others with S4 and S3. Verizon is aware of the issue and is working with another XDA member to fix it. To date it's not resolved.

Thanks DreamFX; I've been following this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658572&page=6) lately as they seem to be the most on top of it. I can't believe Verizon has let this issue go on for so long, but given that it seems to only be relevant to those of us with AOSP ROM's, I guess it makes sense. At least I'm still able to send texts, if not only through a silly process of toggling airplane mode on / off. Hopefully it gets resolved soon...

I'm getting this too, just started for me today from what I can tell. Driving me bonkers but, Airplane mode toggle totally works for me. :cyclops:

Whoa, that's weird. I really thought it was isolated to the 717 area code. It's getting pretty crazy...I've been dealing with this for a few weeks now and my patience is running thin. Unfortunately it's not like we can just report this to VZW because all anyone would tell us to do is "restore to factory", which simply isn't a solution.

Yup, I thought so too. Just cropped up between 10a and 11a PDT. Like you said MMS is fine, simply affects SMS. And yes, restoring stock is simply not an option. Going to TMobile, however, is totally an option that I'm considering more and more often......
EDIT: AND SMS began sending properly (without workaround) for me around 8p PDT last night, just tested and still ok. RESOLVED!
EDIT EDIT: Issue now persists....sadface =[

IM getting it now. but not exactly the same. phone freezes without warning and I have to toggle airplane mode and restart to get it to unfreeze. this happened after the last OTA update. I am going to a custom ROM until I don't read anything about this for a while
Hello,
I have flashed Madhi-ROM 4.4.2 yesterday night and it had LTE working properly. Today, I ran into an issue where it would no longer connect to data at all. I have reflashed the stock rom and updated profile and prl then reflashed Madhi-rom 4.4.2 and at the screen "Activate mobile data service", it just keeps running and occasionally make a call to activate mobile data which ends up failing. I don't know if this is a common issue, but I'd like my mobile data to work. Other than this issue, I think its a very nice rom. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

oh okay
Seems like some people have been having 4G connection issues not only with Mahdi but other Roms as well.
Here are some of the suggestions:
Toggle Airplane mode for 10 seconds then turn off
Dirty flash ROM again
Return to stock and update PRL then reflash custom ROM
Keep data connection at 3G and live with it
You can also try flashing and comparing the Gee version vs. the ls970 version
It's hit or miss with this phone. No rhyme or reason for no consistency for such a basic requirement
I'm sure more experienced members will offer more suggestions
Hope this helps
Yeah, LTE is extremely sketchy on AOSP ROMs, Gee or LS970. Since the connection is just so inconsistent, I've found that the best thing to do is, as listed above, toggle airplane mode on/off, reflashing, or just sticking with 3G. 4G works flawlessly on stock LG ROMs though.

Thank you guys for the help. I tried all the fixes above with no luck. I have reverted back to the stock rom since I rather have my mobile data working than run an AOSP rom.

I believe I've struck gold with the latest Dirty Unicorn ROM!
Everything works: 4G, GPS, yes and even google calendar.
At first, I could only get 3G then one of options was just to simply display 4G instead of LTE in status bar then viola, 4G!
Probably just coincidence but I am one happy dude!
Might want to give DU a try

I may give it a try sometime later. My phone works perfectly with the stock rom at the moment.

Have you tried SuperNexus? Honestly heard nothing but good things about this rom as long as the installation instructions are followed exactly. LTE, GPS, Bluetooth, and battery life are all working from what i've heard, you might wanna give it a try.

I will definitely give this one a try.
Hello, I would like to preface this post by saying I'm a complete noob to XDA Forums and custom ROMs as well. I've know about XDA Developers for years, just never been much of a tinkerer when it comes to Android, I just prefer stock.
Well recently, I bought a used LG G3 because the deal was just to good to pass up. It was my first time using a ROM other than stock and it was utterly disgusting in comparison. I hated it so much I installed my first ROM ever, and it was Candy5 for I heard CynogenMod stopped supporting the LG G3 is some capacity. Well, I've been using it for a while now and made it look as close as I could to stock, there's just one problem.
I recently enabled Wi-Fi calling on Ting. The device was a Verizon model, but I purchased it unlocked, and activated it on the MNVO Ting. Well, it wasn't working so I was wondering what's up. I read that you had to enable it within the devices settings, but all guides were not specific to the custom ROM I had installed, and even following along as closely as I could, the option for Wi-Fi calling wasn't there. I've read that if Wi-Fi calling doesn't appear, your device doesn't support it. But, everywhere I've read, has been consistent that Wi-Fi calling is supported on the LG G3.
So, I ask you long time tinkerers, do you know how to enable Wi-Fi calling within the Candy5 ROM? Does it just not support it? I even used the neat search feature within the settings app and couldn't find a switch for it. Please help!

Yeah WiFi calling won't be an option on AOSP ROMs... Its cooked into the stock software (for at least t mobile) and only works on stock based ROMs. There was a developer that tried to use the code from I BELIEVE the nexus 6 and adopt it to our devices but it never got pushed through. If you want WiFi calling/VolTE, stick with stock ROMs.

Ah, I see. Hopefully some day it would be available on custom ROMs. Using the stock ROM is not even worth the gloriousness of Wi-Fi calling, and that's really saying something, because my room is a complete dead zone for reception. I have to walk out on my porch every time I want to place / receive phones calls or SMS texts.

Yeah I completely feel your problem. Over at my house (which is in the maybe 10 minutes from the main bay area) there is NO reception, only when you walk down the street is there reception. When I was on Verizon I got their WiFi booster thing... Now that I'm on T mob, I use WiFi calling bakdd info their ROMS
