I would like to use the leedroid 7.0 roms on my verizon htc 10. the main issue that i'm having is that , when I flash the rom my data isn't working right , right on the first boot up. this is where the problem mainly effects me. i have 2 step verification on my google account and i need my data and sms to work in order to finish the login process. i am not able to get code/email because network not activated. is there a zip i can flash after i flash rom in twrp , so that i can have the verizon apns and all that good stuff , .i love the leedroid roms . this is the only problem that keeps me from using it. would we be able to add the verizon option in aroma installer under network options to make it more easy to install? Would be a amazing implement and helpful to all us verizon devices. thanks leedroid.
You need to format your data. There is a problem with roms and encrpytion that stops the radios from working, and the only way to fix it is to format your data. I would suggest going into twrp, backing up your internal storage and then wiping your data.
I may be wrong, but im assuming you flashed the rom with no encryption, rather than WITH encryption (which is recommended).
Possibly the cause of your problem.
Its also worth making sure you know what firmware your phone has (MM or Nougat) and flashed the rom with the correct firmware setting. MM firmware is 1.95.401.X and Nougat for US is currently 2.28.XXX.X (it may be slightly different, but it will be around here somewhere)
I have tried encrypted and unencrypted , I do full wipes as i think its better than doing a dirty flash. I also format data and flash leedroid rom. The only way I could get it up and running was to bypass the setup initialization by modifying/deleting the apk from the zip file (Rom) completely. I have no issue with the radio not working , due to encryption status. Once I get in the rom with the modified zip . I can go straight to network and change it to ( global ) and the radios work , but it had slow network speed ( I do not have poor reception in my area) and numerous sms delivery errors. I am mainly trying to find a way to flash a zip in twrp to have radio working with verizon network upon (startup). Or the best option would be to have leedroid incorporate it in the aroma wizard in recovery for when all verizon users flash the new nougat roms on their devices, it fixes this no data on startup problem. All help and replies are much appreciated . Thank you
I've been trying various ROMs over the last few days on my VZW HTC 10. I only tried LeeDroid once (with the US Unlocked provider selected) but was unable to get any signal at all. I would love to get on LeeDroid, but i can't seem to get it to work on Verizon.
Just out of curiosity would the Viper10 Verizon script work on LeeDroid? I'm running Viper10 5.3.0 with the Verizon provider selected and all the features seem to be working, including Advanced Calling.
I will look into viper ROM and see if I can grab the Verizon data from it and use it in leedroid , just to see if it works . Thanks guys for your help
I have looked into viper rom but i could not figure out what to extract and put in leedroid rom. not that advanced yet lol

Viper ROM is completely independent of Lee's ROM. With Viper you would place the zip file you downloaded into the root of your SD Card, boot into TWRP, wipe, then install the Viper ROM.
I played around with LeeDroid on my VZW HTC 10 today and actually got everything except Advanced Calling to work. In fact I can't even find those settings in the ROM. I had to select Sprint as my provider and I was able to get both Cell & Data signals. My bet is that the Advanced Calling features are part of the build.prop changes, but I could be wrong and will probably dig in deeper tonight.
I'm still very new to this kind of development, but hopefully can leverage my comp sci/dev background to figure something out.
I would suggest going to the verizon thread and using this rom
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...m-perfumewl-m60-dev-edition-unlocked-t3442969
Not as fancy as leedroid, but its a nougat rom, specific for verizon, and our current MM Firmware. We will get nougat one of these days.
Maybe @LeeDroid can bake in the verizon parts in his next nightly
Still waiting on my VZW guys pulling a patch together unfortunately, would love to support you guys!
You could try the US Unlocked option & change to.telephony.default_network to 10 in build.prop

Yeah, i played with that ROM a bit yesterday. Its nice if you want Stock, but Stock is boring. Also Viper10 is fully functional on VZW, like I said above.

Thanks for the support @LeeDroid. I'm gonna do some analysis between various build.prop files in both LeeDroid & Viper10 to see if I stumble across anything interesting. I might try to peek at the various Verizon specific stuff that Viper10 has to see if anything there might be useful too. Once I can post in the Dev Threads I'll move my findings there, but until then I'll be posting anything I find here.
Guys.. I have just added Verizon support to my SVN for testing, Its R62.
If you want to give it a blast, you can manually check out or use one of my SVN zippers..
Let me know how it goes, more at www.leedroid.co.uk

I'm excited! Gonna try using one of the SVN Zippers. Gonna flash when I get home from work.
I guess I'll post the little bit of info I found while poking around in the build.prop files.
The only interesting settings I could find that seemed to relate to VZW Features that are missing from LeeDroid are the following:
ro.ril.vzw.feature=1
ro.config.svlte1x=true

A cursory warning that this rom has A2sd installed; so, one will definately want to format their sd card [and particularly /sd-ext] correctly. I recommend [for this rom] ext2 on /sd-ext not over 1.5 gigs, no swap, whatevers left or you prefer to set for fat32. Also, though written in, you might want to dl and install A2SDGUI from market; link to guide for it and Links2SD found later in thread.
This is a rebuilt nandroid backup from dsixda's Android Kitchen. Be sure to do a nandroid and do NOT flash this on any other model wildfire s [A510c ONLY]. 2.3.4 as is stock to US Cellular, added everything including busybox, A2SD, and su, If any devs would like to pull it apart and meld your kernel in, go for it. Again, make nandroid. Should have full HTC sense 2.1. Download Link2SD from market for some space savings, and don't say I didn't warn you to nandroid [three times].
Also, as with any new rom installation. I recommend doing the following in your recovery: a factory reset [which wipes your data and cache] and advanced clear dalvik cache. If you do those two things, you usually don't have any transference issues; Superwipe is also a good alternative primer for wiping.

Thanks
So many I can't remember them all.
eoghan2t7 - for his work developing s-off [w/o xtc clip]
GotsOJ - for being the first to document his s-off experience (was very helpful).
alquez - for his work on the Unoffical CWM Recovery and port of CyanogenMod [which is where I'll be spending some development time next (kernel editing)]
dsixda - of course for his kitchen
jikantaru - lots of sense development for the Euro-side of this phone
simonsimons34 - for making Superwipe marvelc edition, once supplied w/ idea and src links
PoGoP - for contribution of files and being first tester
Works on Virgin Mobile as well
Although this will have US Cellular branding (and apps). So far everything I've tried works on VM USA too. These guys got HTC FM Radio and WiFi hotspot native and not as gunked up. Still need to test some stuff, but so far its nice. This Rom as my other one does not include radio.img; which, is probably why it works.

Tested network,sms,mms,fm radio, WiFi (and hotspot)... All working. Amended OP.

so does this mean that I could potentially use the other custom roms around here and just not include the radio.img file?
on a side note apart from what I just asked, any way to include data2sd with this rom so that you could use one of the sd card partitions for internal storage?? Similar to how [ROM]Wildfire S -JikantaruROM XE™|Sense2.1|DATA2SD|HighQuality & Performance 10-30-11 uses data2sd.

Probably could. Apps2sd does the same thing for me; Just download a app like Link2sd, let it flash the script [according to the partitioning of your personal sd card], reboot and voila... All apps and dalvik vm can be moved to sdcard.
Most of the other custom roms are written for GSM phones and most marvelc flashers have reported wifi, data, bt, etc not working [major flaws]. You can get calling if you backup your APN info [APN backup & restore - app on market] but no data... you won't keep the rom(s) longer than to test it... no PRL data etc [important for us CDMAers ]. Short answer... not yet. I know of one dev universalizing his rom... but as of this writing, not yet. Only mine and simonsimon's roms work for marvelc as of this writing.
Rob
yea, I'm already using link2sd, but after moving everything possible, or linking everything possible, it still only leaves me with like 20mb of internal storage. with the rom I mentioned earlier, using data2sd, it would basically install the rom directly to the sd card, and use the 2nd partition as the "internal" storage. making the internal storage around 700+mb available.
There's this one gps app that I am dying to try, just to see how good it is myself, but it tells me that theres no room to install the maps This is after the app itself is moved to the sd card, and with about 20mb available. That's part of the reason I would like to have data2sd on this device.
At least that's what I have discovered so far, btw, im still a n00b to android phones. so im not totally up to date on all the diff apps and what they all do, so please correct me if i am at a wrong assumption.

Don't like Google Maps eh? I have a hard time justifying adding (or even trying) an app over 10mb... Google's apk limit I think is 25mb for the market. That being said, I am working on a custom marvelc rom that I will release with option for Apps2sd or data2sd etc. flashable zip mods and release the rom without them. [this would mean your practice would be full wipe, install rom zip, install [your choice of mod] zip, etc. I might even look into this guy that wrote some roms for the G2 ILWT or something like that... he had a lil text script you could modify...[makes it all one command]. Either way, it will be a new thread when I release the custom rom. Won't be immediate either; I'm 40 and move like a turtle. I am shooting for a release before Christmas though. [looking at everything inc. compiling 2.3.5 kernel and seeing if I can get that running on our cdma's, possible sense porting [true 3.0 if it works], etc.]
The best system file size scenario you will see is with an AOSP rom [like CyanogenMod]. A couple devs are working on those type roms for the marvelc (simon[2] and alquez). I'll assist where I can, but stay out of their way. Alas, I catch myself rambling yet again.
Looked over Data2sd... It basically uses your sd card as your data partition, but most prefer DarkTremor's A2sd still. Just hard to get rolling sometimes. I did post a mini-guide on it over on the VM USA stock rom thread here.
i know this device is sort of "old hat" i have a question, the rom from this OP works well on uscc wildfire s (cdma) one thing i dont understand is how come the rom reflects "virgin mobile" carrier brand on lockscreen, and notification pull down, also in settings/network/operator name...
will someone please explain this to me.
i do not see much uscc support for this device, rightfully so. i have yet to flash a rom for a510c that reflects the uscc official "get your phone back to stock roms" am i missing something?
Well there was a uscc dev early in the game, but to answer your question, the rom probably touched my phone. I know you guys have had an update.. as has vm usa and metro. Unfortunately, going back and updating.. their could be a possibility of ten different hboots (for the three carriers, that I know of [original, htc unlock, update1, [update2-only metropcs]]). Also, the newest ones aren't as easily hackable. For uscc there would be three possible hboots, and these provide a base. If you would like to get back to stock entirely, use football's RUU. I paid for and he agreed to release these for all marvelc carriers. Otherwise, I could do something now without it touching my phone Early on, had no RUU and little way to test otherwise.
Rob
PS Thank you for letting me know. And your post counts toward interest. So far, the guy [Pogop] who shared his nandroid has pm'd me.. but I guaged interest as low; and thus match my priority for uscc specific development. But you've raised it from a 1 to a 2 If it gets to 10 it gets done right then.. but I got a list of tasks. Sadly those under 5, I have not been able to make time for despite my best efforts. If any other uscc users would like Team Blueridge attention, now would be the time to chime in with a +1

Nice to back to fully working ROM.. cannot find any customs that work with my model :/
Thanks very much chap..

Fixed! Was my own fault regarding the market apps, figured it out...
safe to install OTA System Updates?
Hello,
This question refers to this ROM which I installed a week ago...
I have flashed this great, stable Stock Rom to work with my Marvelc Wildfire s, which took me forver to find and I'm very happy with. However, I have now got a notification stuck on the bar telling me there is a System Update available. My first question is; IS IT SAFE TO INSTALL THE OTA UPDATE OVER MY CURRENT ROOTED ROM? If so, is there anything I should know prior to doing that?
My second related question is; If it is not safe to install the update, or uneccessary, unimportant or just a plain nuisance, how do I get rid of the notification that will not clear and prevent them from appearing in the future?
Thanks in advance for your help!
I don't think you can update it, you don't have the original HTC recovery that came on your phone anymore...if you don't want that message to pop up go to settings-->about phone--> and somewhere in there there's an option to turn the update checker off. sorry I don't know the exact menus I've been using cyanogen since august.

Anyway, thanks Rob, I did what was instructed with no issues, hopefully it prevents those stinky updates. I don't know why I would want to update anything while I have everything just how I like it.
You may want to add "Working with the US Cellular A6230" to your description as I know many folk are looking for a 'working' rom...
Cheers!
no more USC logo on boot...
Hey... I fiddled a bit more with this and got a few apps loaded and working great... still no problems with this ROM...
Fixed OTA Updates as per insink17's instructions...
Have excellent, phone,data,gps,sms,mms etc...
removed or froze much of the remaining sytem apps that were chewing up battery/ram...
added some nice live wallpapers...
and best of all, got rid of the US Cellular bootanimationimage and can now add any boot animation I like! (Have a smart little glowing Droid on startup at present... cool!)

I am having a huge issue with getting data to work on my HTC One X international. Any rom i try, aosp or sense, as long as its based on android 4.0.3 can get data to work.
But any rom, aosp or sense, based on android 4.0.4 and all 4.1 roms except 1 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784185 ), i cannot get data to work.
I do know how to manually input my apn because every rom i use except 1 jellybean rom, i have to manually provision data. the one jellybean rom from tripnraver just works. i flash the rom, reboot, and data works.
the newer sense based roms using android 4.0.4 that i really want to use, there is nothing i can do that will make data work. i have posted a thread on xda about a month ago and it didnt get much attention. few guys gave some ideas but most was stuff i already tried.
if someone could look at the jellybean rom and see how the apns are tied into it and maybe tell me how to incorporate the file into a sense rom i would just be so excited. thanks for reading

Are you sure that your antennas are working fine? Might be a hardware defect.
First you'd probably want to relock the bootloader and run the RUU to eliminate software issues.
thanks for replying i appreciate the help. i know its not hardware cuz of all the roms based on android 4.0.3 that do work and the one 4.1 rom that works. as far as the ruu. im on softbank in okinawa japan. should i use one from asia or similar? and when you flash an ruu do you loose root?
edit: duh you loose root. my bad. relock the bootloader and run ruu. you think thats my best bet huh? im a custom rom junkie and this is really being a thorn in my side! lol.

You will lose root when you run an RUU, it is a way of completely wiping and reflashing the device to stock configuration to try and eliminate any possible changes that a custom ROM might have done to the phone's software that is otherwise inaccessible. Once you run an RUU, you can easily unlock again and then flash a custom recovery, then flash a ROM to test if data works.
I'm not sure about the specifics of Softbank, but as long as they use standard GSM/UMTS/HSPA+ protocols you should just need to put in the proper APN (Make sure it's also the right MNC and MCC, I believe those affect your ability to connect.)
do you think my issue has something to do with my CID? i was over reading throught the ruu thread and saw people having issue with certains roms or ruus and it was pertaining to cid. maybe 4.0.4 hasnt been officially released my my hox and just am stuck on 4.0.3 for now? im definitely shooting from the hip here

The tutorial for Rooting and all these ROMs present in android development section, are they the same for the T-989D Canadian version? Flashing them would work?

I'm pretty sure that if something can be flashed on T989 (T-Mobile), it can be flashed on T989D (Telus/Koodo). I understand that the are just some small differences wrt access to download mode and recovery. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2079776

I have a T989D on Koodo which I've been messing with quite extensively, and yeah, everything is basically the same. The download/recovery mode linked above is the only major difference.
One thing of note, if you end up messing up the device and need to fully reflash from Odin, the t-mobile stock may not work. I tried over and over to recover from what was essentially a brick (ultra, ultra slow) and it just stayed that slow, even though it did seem to boot and connect and everything. It was totally unusable, however.
I found a different one that did work however, I can't seem to find the post anymore but I'm sure you'll be able to get it if you need it, there seem to be others out there with the same name, but not quite the same filesize. That shouldn't really matter as you'll doubtless go back to a custom rom anyway, the point is just to get you back to something that works.
For reference, the name of the one that worked for me is "SGH-T989_UVLH1_Stock_Odex_zipaligned_signed.zip" and it's 422 MB. This post seems to have a Koodo stock zip as well as the T-mobile one, it's about 100MB less but again, that really shouldn't matter so long as it's Koodo.
Hopefully you'll never need to use it, but I just wanted to let you know that even if you have to recover and some files don't seem to be working, keep trying, because the correct ones are out there! Just may need to search a bit for 'em

I'm tried searching but it would just bring up roms based on T-989D. Just need a quick confirmation before I root and flash. Thanks.:angel:

A few more things SGH-T989D owners may want to be aware of:
1) This is an excellent resource: [ROM][Stock]T989UVLI4 (4.0.4) ♛ T989DTLLE4 (4.0.3) ♛ T989DTLLG2[ODIN][TWRP/CWM]
2) You might want to search and replace all "T989" with "T989D" in build.prop
" " replace all "TLLG2" with whatever radio your new ROM is using.
If you're on Koodo you might want to assign that to the ro.carrier property
3) If you've got a data plan with you might want to search the web for your carrier's apn info and insert it into "Settings|Wireless & networks|Mobile networks"
Note: This stuff is optional in the sense that your stuff is probably going to work if you don't make these changes. I haven't always updated all this after switching to a new custom rom, but I did notice that I showed up on the Telus network as a T989 as opposed to a T989D on the Koodo network. Really they're the same network but ... I don't know. Maybe I just over think things... I do like the fact that when I plug my phone into the computer or go to the play store or whatever that my phone reports as what it actually is and what radio it uses etc. I don't really care that much as long as my stuff works and I have access to apps that are appropriate for the hardware I'm using. YMMV.
Note2: Most of this info can be gleaned from your stock rom's "CSC" folder and build.prop file. When I have a little more time I'll write this up so its more understandable for those new to flashing Roms. Just wanted to mention that there are a few other tiny, nearly insignificant differences btw the T989 and T989D so that the OP and/or others can address these points if they choose to. At least not be surprised if it looks as though they're using data on a network with a different phone.
Note3: Maybe the only thing that matters is an imei number from your SIM. I don't really know. Be glad to be "told" by anyone that knows. I just know that these things are different even if they don't make a bit of difference in practice.
Re:Koodo SGH-T989D
Hello I'm new to posting on the forums, sorry If I've missed the answer to this question already!
I have a Koodo SGH-T989D that I got in September, before that I was using a non smart flip phone . So I'm quite new to this whole rom business, but even android/ smart phone os in general.
I've been able to flash many roms in the past couple months and have a good understanding of what it is i'm doing. Never had an issue I couldnt fix myself actually, so I've never made an account.
This latest problem has me puzzled though, I've totally lost data connection on my s2x while using any radio. I use SGH-T989D_TLLG2_Koodo_radio but I tried UVLI4 just to see.
However I did change a few things up from my usual routine to flash 4.2.1
1: changed twrp to 2.4.1.0 from 2.2 cwm flashable zip
2: moved all my zips to sd card and formatted internal memory(to eliminate possible issues)
Before this I was using twrp 2.2 and only doing a clean install, not formatting internal sd without any issues or instability.
I've been on [4.2.1 | 4.2.2] AOKP :: jb-mr1 :: build 3 and very impressed with it, except this one issue.
In the thread there is a post that refers to getting data working with koodo, so I think its an apn/proxy setting. I just am not sure where I would have to change these settings.
Just restored a recent nandroid backup and everything works fine.
Can anyone help me out, any insight or tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Check here for Koodo APN settings: http://koodomobile.com/en/on/switch2koodo-step-3-c.shtml
Go to settings > wireless and network, more... > mobile networks > access point names > then hit your options button > New APN > enter the details found on the page linked above.
Hope that solves it for you.
Re:Koodo SGH-T989D
Thank you so much, worked right away!
The reason I didnt just look up koodo apn settings is because I had no idea what they were.
And Until now I've never had an issue.
Is this something to do with aokp 4.2 or is it because I formatted my internal storage?
Since mid December I've tried out about 5 or 6 roms just to see how they compared to stock. And all I have to say is wow!
Thank you to all those who make this possible, it really is a great community.
I was on stock koodo rom and unrooted until december because my charge port stopped working after like 3 months...? So I went looking for info and I was brought here, haven't looked back since.
When to check for proper apn info?

Ususally associated with radio upgrades; but rather than get too particular, its good practice to check the apn info after any ROM upgrade. If you think about it, any of the hercules upgrades are going to be the same across the board for any given update. Where they're different is where we want to pay particular attention. In this case, carrier specific information.
Hello everybody!!
My friend gave me his Virgin mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 to root and install a custom ROM on. I have install the latest TWRP recovery, and flashed the Super SU. I am not rooted on stock. I was wondering how to go about installing a custom ROM. I think that the Virgin Mobile and the Sprint are very similar, but I noticed something on the ROMs posted in the development forum. For example, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2750674 shows that it is meant to work on versions with NJ2 and ND8. My S3 here has NJ3. I am wondering what this means. I have NJ3 on my S3, and I was wondering that meant. Does it mean that it is different version completely, or does it mean that it simply says that because it is Virgin Mobile and is still pretty much the same thing? That being said, would that ROM work on my S3 with NJ3?
Thanks everybody for your help and development to make this community awesome!
Okay, well I installed it anyways. It works great, but I need to find the APNs for Virgin Mobile. If someone can point that out to me, I would really appreciate it. Virgin Mobile US internet.

Here's the APN fix. You flash the zip in a custom recovery: http://androidforums.com/threads/vi...rgin-mobile-apn-fix-wip-cm-aosp-4-4-x.840298/ My Virgin Mobile SIII is on NJ3, and the APNs work fine. NJ3, ND8, etc is just the modem. AFAIK it allows for connecting to the network, and newer modems have better connections. Any d2spr ROM should work fine on Virgin Mobile SPH-L710 (NOT SPH-L710T, be careful) if you flash the APN fix.

Did you use some modified version of TWRP? The normal official version can't mount partitions properly. I tried installing it and sh*t hit the fan. I had to use a gummified version of TWRP 2.8.0.0.
Thanks for the reply! I found the same problem, and I installed CWM. I did the APN fix, but mobile data won't work. Do I now have to put the APNs for the data to work?
No, after you flash the fix in recovery, everything should be taken care of. Sometimes you might have to flash it a few times to get it to stick, I suppose. The only thing I can think of to recommend is to make sure you follow the instructions and give the FAQs a read. That should explain evertything you need to do.
As a side note, here's a link to the Gummified TWRP that I'm using, in case you want TWRP (I personally prefer TWRP over CWM/PhilZ). You can just install it using the dd method with a terminal emulator on your phone using the instructions on the TWRP site. It's the TWRP 2.8.0.0.img. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B1mtB5XM-ndHQThQX08xRWFVSzQ#
Thanks for the APN fix for Virgin Mobile. I just updated to CM12.1 on my S3 and had no data until I applied this fix.
Thanks so much, I will give that a try! I flashed it once, and it did not work. I will try flashing it a couple times in order to get it to work.
Are you trying to flash an android 5.1 ROM? Sh*t hit the fan on cm12.1 and all ROMs using cm as a base, and the APN fix doesn't have LTE on 5.1. If you want stability, I'd just go with a kitkat d2lte ROM. This bug is getting worked out, though. They just fixed it on cm, I think
Yep, I found that out the hard way lol. Thanks anyways, I will let my friend back it up, and I will just install kitkat on it. Thanks for your help.
You could also install a touchwiz ROM like wicked s5 for stability, but if you ask me, half the reason to root is to get away from touchwiz
Touchwiz must die.
Hi, guys!
I have a friend who also has a VM S3, and, of course, I told him he could have a way better Android experience if he let me help him put Cyanogenmod on it. He agreed to it, liking the idea of revitalizing his phone, and I went right ahead to the XDA forums to do some research. I came across this thread (obviously), and while it was immensely helpful (thank you everyone who contributed and provided links), it has got some out of date information and a few things gone unmentioned. So, I'll briefly compile a list of everything I know here to save future VM S3 modders some trouble and headache.
1) The latest TWRP (as of right now, it's 3.0.2-0) does work on the VM S3. Whatever issue was there in older versions is taken care of.
2) It is true that one will need to flash the APN fix linked in previous comments. That will get mobile data working.
3) However, in the very article linked, one will also see a Stock MMS fix, because even with the APN fix, the stock AOSP messaging app (in our case, that of Cyanogenmod 12.1) will not receive MMS. However, as users have commented in that forum, DO NOT flash that Stock MMS fix on anything above Android 4.4.4. As I discovered the hard way, it will only result in bootloop, as well as much headache and angst.
4) So, how do we fix the MMS glitch? Directly, there's no way (that I know of/can find). What I ended up doing for my friend was, when installing GAapps, I used the Aroma installer (because why wouldn't I?), and I had it install Google's Messenger app (in Aroma, it's labeled as just "Messenger"), and I had it block the installation of the Stock CM Messenger app. MMS now works fine.
5) Not a fan of Google Apps, or specifically Google's Messenger? Well, I hear Textra is good too. :fingers-crossed:
6) For the comment by @Powered_By_Linux on the issue concerning not getting LTE, I cannot say for certain as I no longer have my friend's phone with me, and I didn't think to test it. However, I know this: the comment was made in April 2015, and the snapshot release of CM12.1 is dated for November 2015, so I imagine it's possible something got fixed in between, as he said. Also, my friend hasn't complained to me yet about any sort of service problems (only praise for his rejuvenated phone), so I'm going to assume everything's working as it should. Also, there are other users in the linked APN fix article also saying their 4G/LTE works.
Again, thank you everyone who commented and provided links, as this thread was of great help to me. Here's to keeping those S3s alive and going strong!
On my HTC One M8, if I use the stock ROM or Android revolution, the SIM card works fine, however if I install Liquid or Paranoid Android, I lose network and it won't recognize the SIM - this effectively rules out "bent card trays" or other similar fixes. (Plus, I already got a new card tray in the form of a new warranty replacement M8 that I tried. No love.)
I tried flashing a new radio to no avail....
If anyone has an easy fix, or any insight into the issue, I'd be eternally grateful. I absolutely cannot stand HTC Sense and all it's myriad annoyances.
Anyone?

Have you tried searching the LS or PA threads to see if this is a known issue? I'm not a user of AOSP ROMs so I don't personally know off hand whether this is the case or not.
You can also try CM12 or a GPE based ROM.
Also, make sure all firmware is up to date (as well as TWRP version), not just radio.
Try searching for network and choos manualy. When i flash a CM12 base rom i must do that.
Tried that... and it works under CM12 too... just not the others that I listed (so far)
Updated TWRP and started over from scratch. Same results - runs CM 12, stock and any other sense based roms without any issues. Attempting to run any AOSP roms results in the no SIM failure.
Dumping it back to stock and sending it back in favor of using the new one they sent under warranty. I'll root this one later and test it to see if it will take.
Same thing on new phone. Gah.
