Can anyone tell me what the most current Sprint Stock ROM is for the TP?
Mine shows:
1.03.651.4
If there is a newer one, how do I find it?
Should I change to a different ROM?
P.S. NOOOOOOOOOOOOB!
that is the newest one that i know of
I got Stock Sprint Rom of 1.03.651.3 =/
Mine came like this...
I haven't done anything to it (much) in the week I've had it. I don't even know where to check for ROM updates from Sprint.
I've been looking at the Juggalo ROM though. The only problem is I'll have to load Windows in Boot Camp or Parallels to make it work. We only have Mac's
Go to www.sprint.com/downloads to get information on updates. There were none posted when I just checked.
Yeah I just checked as well. Nada.
I think I'm going to Sprint tomorrow to whine. We dropped two iPhones (with early termination) and came to Sprint. Now I find features of the phone disabled.
What are the differences between the Alltel/Verizon/Sprint versions of the TP?
The only difference between the .3 and .4 is that the .4 had a fix for a very small provisioning issue with data.
Sometimes after data programming info was pushed to the device, the device would get stuck in Active Data Profile 0, making it not work correctly on the net. It required the MSL to be able to switch into active data profile 1, which is what you use to actually view sites, use the web, etc. etc. (profile 0 is reserved for OTA provisioning and such)
So at this point no matter what you have on your phone, its the "newest", sans one tiny little issue that the first batches of Pros had. Hope this helps clear up any confusion

I had this problem with mine. Had to call sprint and set it up manually. Scored on getting my MSL thou
I've screwed with mine so much in the last few days that I just hard reset it. I'm going to see what I can come up with at Sprint tomorrow and go from there. I want my friggin light sensor to kill the display on a call.
Adv. Conf didn't work...
Diamond Tweak didn't work...
Reg Edit didn't work...
Irritated at best...

have you tried g-light ?
Yeah I tried that, and unless I'm overlooking something, it didn't work for me. I want the display to go black when the sensor reads low lumens.
I couldn't get it to set the backlight to 0, or read lumens between 0 and anything. It always reset itself to 1.
Any ideas?
So here it is, April 8, 2009 and my Pro is 6 months old, and still NO ROM update?
Does anyone know if Sprint is working on an update for the Touch Pro?
(Bump) i curently have 1.03.651.4

Hey all,
OK, Like most other people using the Sprint Stock ROM on their Touch Prio and the Sprint MMS Official CAB, I was experienceing delayed sending (sometimes hours) and delayed receiving (woul dnot receive unless I physically opened the MMS app)....
However, this CAB seemned to fix it on my Sprint Touch Pro with STOCK ROM...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3281937&postcount=8
It appears to be Arcsoft MMS for another region/platform (sony Ericsson Xoeria X1). When you install it, there is no apparent app, and there are a few reg entired - that's it. Don't sweat it.
So, Install the above CAB then soft reset for good measure - then uninstall it right away. Whatever this installed, altered, and/or left behind caused my TP to send within a minute or two, and receive just fine....
(Backround info:
I installed this just thinking it was another version of arcost to try on my TP - After installation, I couldn't find anything other than a few files that it placed on my phone, and then I deleted it because I knew it wasn't like the other, functional, installs... Then BAM, perfect sprint Pic Mail 100% of the time there after....
Seems to be 100% fixed - finally!
Can you guys try this as well and report back. I want to see if this was just a fluke...
Thanks,
Matt!
Has anyone else tried this? There is an Arcsoft MMS specifically for Sprint here in the forums as well.
Mine takes forever to send too and am thinking about trying this. But the last time I changed my picturemail crap I had to spend an hour on the phone with Sprint to have them reset my PM account.

Yea,
I have tried every Arcsoft release under the sun and, as many others can confirm, none work properly on the Stock Sprint ROM.
Therefore, I am using Sprints official PicMail app. The app is fine, howeve,r it tends to take hours to send and receive picture - making it pretty much useless.
The fix i discussed in the 1st post of this threas uses an arcsoft installation/uninstallation that actually fixes the sprint pic mail app.
I have already confirmed from others that this works.
I don't forsee any issues at all trying this fix - especailly due to the lack of files installed - AND the fact that it is immediately uninstalled.
Let us know,
Matt!
so wait ur going to have to explain this better.....
Do we have the Sprint Picture mail Application on still installed on our phones when we install Acrsoft? ..ur not making much sense in ur instructions

Ok,
a) Make sure you have the newest version of Sprint Mail installed on your Touch Pro
b) Install the cab from my first post to your device (main memory)
c) Right after it is installed, go ahead and soft reset.
d) UNinstall the cab you just added (arcsoft)
e) Soft Reset
f) Enjoy your Sprint Pic Mail better because the lag is gone!
Make sense?

I have a question is it just parts of the program left behind after uninstall or registry tweaks because if its registry tweaks wouldnt it be easier just to post the tweaks.
just want to let you know that though i dont know whether installing and uninstalling the arcsoft cab fixes anything but it has been confirmed to me from sprints top tech that they have been experiencing picture mail problems nation wide. and everything seems to be ok for non black berry users now, just want to see if other ppl are having better luck with the picture mail since last night.
i would just like to be able to use it. only one person told me she got my pic( she has a blackberry) but other than that no one else gets my pics!!!
i would love to fix this
didnt work for me and i followed all of killerQ's steps.
well i tried it both ways and i actually got my mms alot quicker.. Thanks
It may be a stupid question but a bit annoying to me.
There may be a frequent case which you want to take pictures while you have chats with your friends. However, I just discovered that Galaxy SII won't be able to do this. In certain extend, it is a limitation in terms of multi-tasking.
Is there any ROM or other ways to let them work at the same time ?
I have the same problem and it makes me very sad ...
I use the Head Set and would like to take some pictures and send them via E-Mail while I use the phone.
Any hint would be nice! Thanks in advance!!
I too have this issue/question
It's blocked in the s/w. Just like not being able to use the camera with the battery below 15%, The latter was changed in a recent update to only not being able to use the flash below 15%. In other words, it's not a flaw, it's a "feature."

I figured as much. there is no reason we shouldnt be able to talk and snap a pic. i drive a taxi and am on the phone most of the time with other drivers and have to hang up if i see something i wanna take a picture of. does anybody know if there might be a workaround? Im fairly new to android, was pretty handy with winmo registry stuff, dont know how to tweak android yet

I'm guessing it's blocked because the phone still supports video calling over 3G on networks capable of it. One of the devs might be able to change it in a cooked ROM. Quite a few undid the 15% camera thing.

Ok so today out of no where my phone just stopped talking calls, cant make calls, i can recieve texts but i cant send them. I also cant open my text inbox.. for example if i click on a contact inside the inbox, it just says loading and the green icon just spins and does nothing..
i reflashed my same radio i used thinking it was a problem there, but it hasnt fixed anything..
also i noticed that on my lock screen right above the time it does not say verizon wireless anymore, it just shows the time and date.. it used to say it above the clock.
im running bamf and have loved it for quite some time now, until this just happened..

You say you don't see VZW on the lockscreen. Have you check to see if maybe your phone is roaming or out of service area?

haha I can see the reply being "I fixed it.. Had to mail my first born child to Verizon. Phone works again.."
On a serious note, that is odd that it just randomly happened. Did you flash anything new or remove anything?
Somehow one of my lte settings on my banf menu changed by its self.. so it was one of the settings where their was no 3g or 4g and no service either, like the 4th from the top..
either way the phone works again now because i use the cdma auto/prl (i think) one so i always use my phone in 3g, but the internet hasnt came back on yet.. i tried the first choice and the 4g one (cdma/lte auto) or whatever it is and i cant get 3g or 4g..
can anyone recommend me a good radio to use. my phone just has 2.3.4 and bamf gingeremix on it, if i have to be more specific i can to try and narrow the best radio for my phone.. i guess i might as well ask what is the "best" Radio?
What are the significances of the different ones? like range or service quality.. thats the only thing i dont understand..

All radios work differntly with each thunderbolt. best way to test is run each radio for a few days and find the best one for your individual phone. Best of luck
Since your running 2.3.x you will need to make sure you load a MR2 or greater radio. I don't think Froyo radios will not work on GB. I'm no expert on any of this yet still learning the ins and outs. I remember reading that on one of the forums I frequent though.

Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with my Note 2 when connected to my Sync system in my Lincoln MKS. I'm able to pair successfully, stream music, make phone calls and it works just the way it should, but when I try to choose the text message option I receive an error message stating that "Text messaging is not supported on the phone currently connected by Bluetooth." Well, ok . . . except it is. I know the phone has the correct blue tooth profile on it to allow SMS to be displayed on Sync, and I know Sync has worked correctly before because it worked perfectly with my Droid RAZR MAXX. I really miss this feature, it's not the end of the world but it's really aggravating that this phone has the necessary profile, Sync has worked correctly in the past (I'm pretty sure it's up to date, that's the one thing I'm still needing to confirm but I would think that if it worked with the RAZR it would work with the Note 2) and yet here I am with no capability of texting. I contacted both Samsung and Ford even though I really look at this as a Samsung issue, and both were useless, though Ford didn't suggest I hard reset my phone (and I still don't know why I humored Samsung on that anyways) but if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
FWIW the text feature didn't work on the Galaxy Nexus either. This points to an issue on the Samsung end. Hopefully it's not a hardware limitation on the Note 2.

Ugh, that's annoying, I wasn't aware of that. It's just so strange because all the pieces are in place - Sync requires MAP, the bluetooth profile loaded on to the Note 2 includes MAP - but clearly something is putting a stop to it. This is the only negative I've found about the phone so far and it's not worth returning it over, but man is it annoying.

Yeah, no, it really doesn't. The only request I get from Sync during the pairing process is for phone book and call history. I've unpaired and re-paired the phone multiple times to no avail. Glad it works for you, but "trust me," it doesn't for me.

Works for me in my 2012 Focus.
Worked on my Galaxy S3, too, when I ran it stock.
Also, it wouldn't have worked on a stock Galaxy Nexus because MAP is not part of AOSP. Some ROMS did have it built in, though.

Trying to find helpful information on the SYNC side is frustrating. MyFordTouch vs SYNC with navigation vs plain SYNC. Then throw in the different software versions for each hardware version and on top of that trying to decipher which ones are capable of a software upgrade.
Maybe Samsung and Ford finally collaborated on the 2012 models? My F150 is a 2011.

Check out this link http://www.ford.com/technology/sync/#check-compatibility as it will have the compatible phones for each sync system. I understand you have everything setup properly and its not working but its my understanding if the phone isn't listed on the compatibility list then more than likely it wont work. I would also check online once this phone gets a little bit older in age to see if Ford updates sync to be compatible with this phone and a lot of other new ones that have been released. Hope this helps

Sorry but that other dude was just annoying me and not helping me in the least. It's fine to not know the answer, but just admit to it and/or don't post, preferably the latter. Unless you have the same car and phone, what worked for you is completely irrelevant to what will work for me. You at least have a suggestion, too bad it didn't work.

Yeah, I don't think of this as a Ford issue but they are making it unnecessarily difficult to rule them out. I have a 2010 Lincoln MKS, picked it up in June, and there's no way short of taking it to a dealer to know if Sync is up to date or not. Fortunately (uh, I guess . . . ) for me I discovered a pretty nasty transfer case leak when changing the oil the other day, so the big girl is heading to the dealer on Monday to get that sorted out and I'm just gonna have them make sure she's all up to date on Sync, TSB's, have them figure out why I get these intermittent squeaks from the stereo, just get her all in good shape. For the record, here's the facts I am certain of:
FACT: I have a 2010 Lincoln MKS with Sync in it.
FACT: My previous phone was a Droid RAZR MAXX.
FACT: When the RAZR MAXX was connected to Sync, the text message feature worked perfectly.
FACT: My current phone is a Galaxy Note 2.
FACT: I am able to connect my Note 2 to my Sync without issue and am able to make phone calls and stream Google Music over it.
FACT: Here is what I see when I choose text messaging on the screen.

Have you tried this rom. It indicates it has MAP support but from CM so maybe it won't work. I'm trying the same things on my Nexus 4 with Ford Sync/Touch. I can live without it, but it sure is hard to sit next to my husband with his iphone which does work with MAP. My Sync software doesn't even have the same settings (that I've been able to find) as the manual shows: "Advanced phone options; Enable MAP." Good luck. I have made requests on several Google threads that they re-instate their previous BT stack which apparently had MAP working before the latest updates.

I almost wish you hadn't pointed that out to me, haha, but I'll flash it in a day or so when I get a chance. I wanted to keep a Touchwiz ROM so I could keep S-pen and particularly multi-window, but I don't really use those features as much as I thought I would when I got the phone, so maybe it won't be the end of the world to not have them.
The whole situation is really puzzling, every piece of documentation I've found states the Note 2 has MAP support out of the box. My vehicle is a 2010 so it's the pre-MyFordTouch, but I have checked with Ford and they've stated it supports MAP, and what REALLY boggles the mind is the Droid RAZR MAXX I had prior to the Note 2 worked perfectly with it, so it's not like I'm asking for something I simply can't have or that hasn't worked before.
Making the situation even stranger is I had a loaner vehicle while the car was in for service, which was a 2012 MKT with MyFordTouch and it worked absolutely perfectly with the Note 2 for the few days I had it, text messaging and all. It's different software than on my 2010, but now I'm not sure who's really to blame, Samsung or Ford.
Oh well. Maybe Motorola will step up with a 5.5"+ screen and a MAXX battery when it's time for me to get a new phone in September and then I can have all the things I want in a phone.
my toro never was able to show SMS messages, and even my stock note 2 couldn't ... got rooted, and put CarbonRom, no joy. Using Jelly Beans ROM. If I get an SMS on the phone, I might see it... just flashed it this morning cause CarbonROM (as of 19 March 2013) didn't have a working tether (without third party software).
Showing SMS texts isn't a deal breaker for me though... sorry your phone doesn't work. I will say Ford Sync has been pretty awesome for streaming audio, and phone calls though. I had heard from my dealer that I shouldn't update my SYNC in my 2010 Fusion Hybrid, as there have been further issues with the software updates. The dealer suggested that there were updates that could be applied (as opposed to the failed 'at home' updates that I attempted to apply with no luck). And I don't want to fix what really isn't broken.

So I was able to successfully get the DEMO LG Wing I bought off of ebay. (Model LMF101V) Flashed. And despite being told these didn't even have a modem in them, I am able to get 5G with a Tmobile SIM now. *I believe these were originally Verizon demo's, but I am not sure. I am missing storage, which I have seen was a problem with other LG demo models. However it appears the SD card is working, so this is not a huge deal to me. (It registers 8GB instead of 256GB) I know the storage is actually there, because prior to flashing, I was able to access and use it in the demo mode.
I was wondering if anyone could help me get the biometrics working? The hardware is present and the phone does detect a fingerprint reader, but when trying to use it, it never registers any finger prints. *It does not accept or reject, the screen changes to indicate my finger is touching the glass, but nothing happens as far as registering my fingerprint goes, it just does nothing. I do not yet know if the 50% charging limitiation is still in place or not, I will update when I find out. I am assuming this is no longer an issue.
Not bad for $180 now that it has service. I accomplished this by making my own modifications to LGUP, I will be honest, I am a newbie when it comes to this stuff. So I was poking around and changed a few things here, a few things there, and I could not tell you specifically what I did that made this work. The phone still does not show me an IMEI number. (Just a 0 in place of it.) I dont want to break the rules regarding changing IMEI's, but since this would be more like restoring the IMEI, maybe the mods will allow us to discuss potential fixes to that issue.
Interesting this demo unit. What is the firmware showing in the system menu? Could you update to any newer firmware? Or could you unlock the bootloader / flash another official fimware?

Modified LGUP - Chip Erase was the only option that would do anything at all. So I first flashed a Verizon ROM and then a Tmobile ROM. Both lifted all all the limitations placed on the device. The only thing that did not work was the fingerprint sensor, but its there... so there has got to be a way. That and it wont show an IMEI number at all after that. Yet at least with Tmobile, that doesnt appear to matter.
Please direct me to the steps or page that will explain how to do what you did to remove this demo crap. Thanks in advance.

There isn't one. I figured this out on my own.
Have you played with a Velvet 5g? I just got a retail mode one.
I got ahold of 2 V60 demo units. I believe they are the Verizon ones? Anyhow i removed demo limitations to allow use of the device again, battery is at 50% llke most, and its supposedly missing the modem as i cannot get any information in Phone Information for the cellular bands etc.. It would be nice however to get them working IF they are present.
I don't see how your velvet has the modems unless perhaps it was specific verizon ones which these devices were rumored to have the ability of a full device (modem and everything else) once flashed to different firmware.
If you could walk back through what you do (i know im guilty myself of forgetting to write things down) and try to remember exactly what all you did this would help a lot on these demo units. I see a people wanting to convert them more these days since the phones are getting more hi tech. 5-7 years ago and so you could covert these,, Before that demo phones.. well they were all real. Was never an issue getting them cheap and no need for converting.. Wish it was like that today!
Any updates on this? Local used phone stores want $450 starting, I see a handful on eBay for anywhere from $120+, non-demo ones average around $350+. I'd like to get one that's unlocked (currently on Sprint/TMobile) but likely gonna be switching to AT&T. I see a lot of phones that say unlocked but I don't know if they're truly unlocked and/or how to do it myself if they're in fact not unlocked. 10+yrs ago I used to bake my own ROM's and whatnot but nowadays it feels like Spanish to me so I don't wanna buy the wrong phone and have it not work (demo issues) or not be able to easily switch providers.

The lg velvet retail modes do take the korean firmware. Everything works even 5g. Battery works 100%.

Yup i was able to flash the lg velvet retail modes with korean firmware. 5g even works with att. Hotspot isnt even locked like it would be on stock att firmware. Im really loving these lg velvet retail mode phones. If you can find them cheap get one.

Is there any chance you could share what you did to get this working? I've been trying to flash stock firmware to my Wing but haven't had any success. All of my attempts have either caused LGUP to crash, fail, or "successfully" flash but never actually do anything to the phone.

Dont use the gui tool. Learn to flash from terminal and you will be set.
I could never get the tool to work outside of the cmd promt.

Alright, I'll give that a shot. Any specific firmware I should go for? I have the Korean and Verizon, not sure which is better. This is a Verizon demo unit, btw.
Edit: If you could link me to the terminal version, that would be appreciated.

Just search xda or reddit on how to use lgup in command prompt. Ive been successful with the korean firmware.

I personally cant wait until firehose comes out for the lg velvet. I have a few of those. They work great on att 5g. Almost feels exactly like my s20 ultra in my hand. Too bad lg stopped making phones.
Terminal version worked perfectly! The korean firmware works and seems to be fully functional, although I will have to do more testing. I may try flashing US carrier firmware at some point if it's compatible (probably T-Mobile as I use that), but for now this is fine.
Been using the phone for a few days now. It's largely been fine, however the fingerprint sensor doesn't seem to work as the OP mentioned. Still, if anyone has a demo device, it's much better then using the gimped firmware it comes with.

Tried without downgrading the firmware (if that's even possible- I don't think the Wing came with Android 9). ( #*462633*#100# ) got me into the service menu, did the fingerprint test and now it recognizes me putting my finger against the sensor, but tells me "Cover the entire sensor with your finger" every time.
Edit: To be clear, I'm using the latest Korean firmware. I'm not sure if downgrading it would work, since as far as I know it's all Android 10.
