No more waiting for 2-3 mins on every boot or getting wi-fi errors for international users.
This will only stop handfree activation all other services will be active including the lock screen.
Just delete these 2 files from system/app folder using rootexplorer after rooting.
SprintOMADMConnMOPlugin.apk
SprintOMADMConnMoPlugin.odex
Let me know if u have ne problems.
UPDATE
Ok a little update got a better way of doing this for GSM users, no deleting ne files but requires you to have your six digit SPC/MSL code.
Get hold of cdmaworkshop 2.7
Boot Photon into BP Tools mode.
after connection to correct port in cdmaworkshop.
Other Menu
R-UIM menu
set this option to R-UIM only.
Write reboot and your good to go.

Ok thanks nice post.But how can j install a custom rom (Alien) without Sprint activation?
Living in Greece using,best android device with stock rom.
Just an update for everyone who has applied this. I tried to update OTA today to the latest version and I got the error as described in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18389195&postcount=18
Need to find these files somehow to apply the updates.
I did very easy thing, since i tired to wait sprint activating. Root your device, go to /system/app/ and delete all files that are starting with sprint****. Reboot after that. You ll see how quickly your phone will work at all!

I would suggest not to delete the files, but rename them instead. Adding a .bak or .save is ok. This way, when an android update comes, you will not run into problems cause the installer can't find the stock distribution as it is supposed to be. Before the update, just return the files to their original names and the update should go smooth.

recenlty after updatin to latest OTA
i keep losing signal, and my phone switches to CDMA on its own

I'm sorry if this was posted somewhere else, but I searched and nothing came up. When you root your phone does that mean you no longer can receive over the air updates? Or is that only if you have custom ROM's installed? That being said, is the ROM that you install to gain root access considered a custom ROM? Sorry... I feel like a n00b but I had to ask. :] Thanks

If you are rooted it's usually a good idea and easier to flash a ROM that includes the update already. The developers get a hold of the source codes a few weeks before VZW actually pushes it to your phone and you don't have to wait for jcase, unrevoked, or whomever to find a new way to root if the ota breaks root access.
Hope this helps"
I was searching the same thing earlier bro and this is the answer I found.
Does this mean if I don't delete bloatware and just freeze it, then I can still get the updates? I read that article and I didn't see them answer whether or not getting an OTA update would take root off. Thanks for the response!

No the point is if you root, have SU, and/or a custom recovery, the update will fail.

Good deal. Thank you for the info.

So if I'm reading this correctly, a corollary is that if you intend to root but haven't, its likely a good idea to do it before the OTA is pushed, or else you'll have to wait for the developers to figure out how to root the new one?

More then likely any important updates/fixes/etc will turn up in ROMs anyways.

try this it works
only difference for you will be lines 4 and 5
look for your current ro.build.fingerprint and change it to the current update...
oh and also don't forget to delete the update from your cache
If you are comfortable editing the build.prop then follow these directions.
Directions:
1. Use root explorer and navigate to /system
2. Mount as r/w
3. Long press on build.prop then click on Open With then Text Editor
4. Find the line ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/SCH-I510/SCH-I510:2.3.6/GINGERBREAD/FP1:user/release-keys
5. Change FP1 or FP5 in that line to FP8
6. Press the menu button on the phone and click on Save and Exit
7. Mount back to r/o
8. Reboot phone

do I change the FI to something else? if so this change will not brick my phone? this is my only cell connection to outside world.
the download system update that wants to install is a FL24 is it because the phone knows FI the FL will not install?
You could just rename otacerts to otacerts.bak and then rename updater.apk to updater.bak.

what additional info do you need from my phone, that will make this a more sure ok to do for sure no worries ? what about
what disconnecktie recommended "You could just rename otacerts to otacerts.bak and then rename updater.apk to updater.bak"
is that safer, not sure where to find those files? I am doing titanium back. but i do not want to go through the hassel of reloading everything back on the phone.
Either way will work but the otacerts and updater both just catch ota information when it is sent out. You aren't deleting anything so it is impossible to brick from it. The otacerts is in /system/etc and the updater apk is in /system/app or course. Use a root file explorer like es file explorer and mount system as read/write.

so do I wait to see the update icon? then do the process
and to be clear the process is?
go to /system/etc then rename otacerts to otacerts.bak save it
then go to /system/app then rename update.apk to update.bak save it
how long does that change last if they are pushing the update wont it just come right back?

I found a fix on XDA forums right here. Instead of 'asia' I input north-american into the gps.conf file. For those of you that don't want tolook for the file, I have supplied the gps.conf file for you to download right here. Post responses with how well this works. Works 100% of the time for me nearly instant locks on all gingerbread ROM's I put on my device.
If you are downloading my file, simply use adb to push it to /system/etc/ and you are golden.
**Warning|Disclaimer|Blah Blah**
If you brick your phone I am not responsible ... yadda yadda, ya'll know the drill.
thank you! that did solve the problems i've been having with the latest cm builds.
Wow! Thank you so much! I went from a 2+ minute lock to a <20 second lock.
I did find a method to make this adjustment simpler. I used root explorer, available in the market, then simply copied your 'gps.text' file to system/etc. I then deleted the gps.conf file and renamed gps.text to gps.conf. Finally, I rebooted and opened maps, enabled gps, and waited for a lock. Then, after I was locked I did one final reboot and behold, locked in less than 20 seconds.
So, maybe not simpler but it can all be done without adb, straight from the phone.
Nevertheless, thank you, thank you, annnnnd thank you!

Did you guys use his file or make your own? Mine already said North America but was missing the extra servers.
skulnik, is your phone s-off? I can never make that kind of change with root explorer. It acts like it did something, but it doesn't. Same with ADB if the phone is on.
I read on another thread that apparently if you are s-off, you need to go into recovery, mount system and then use adb to push the files.
I am not sure this worked for me though, once I got the file in there, nothing much changed. I used the old fix which involved putting the cm6 gpslib.so file into the system/etc folder. Using both, I seemed to get a quick lock.
I made flashable fix for myself that includes both fixes and the wifi fix (just in case) and things seem better on both CM7 and the xm rom based on CM7.
The extra servers is what made the difference for me. Glad that this is helping. I stopped using cm7 for the longest time because GPS wouldn't lock for me. I loaded the xm7 and is was so awesome I just HAD to find something to make GPS work because I rely on it all the time. Downtown San Antonio is very easy for me to get lost in and MapQuest was never reliable.

I used a different file after reading his method. However same concept of replacing the config file. I'm just rooted without s off. Another method to replace the file is to mount via clockwork and use android commander to push the file. FYI after this i now I get an accurate gps lock in under 10 seconds.

Thanks! I used the southwest file and I am getting real fast locks, even indoors. I wonder if I need to keep a northeast file for when I travel east.
Just want to make sure i get the steps right, all i have to do is unzip the .zip file, put gps.conf in platform-tools folder for android sdk, run adb and type "adb push gps.conf /system/etc/" right? It's been a while since i did any sort of work with adb, so i don't want any major goof-up.

You could do that or a more foul proof method would be to use android commander. Just mount the system in clockwork plug your phone in "assuming you already have adb, jdk etc. Installed" and push it that way. Android commander is pretty much a gui for adb... also could push it in terminal emulator if you were feeling adventurus. hope this helps. Android commander is most likely going to be the safest method for you. That way you can easily do a backup of the file. Though I would do a nandroid backup just to be safe.

hmm can't imagine why it would be different for you. Did you push the correct GPS file for your location & confirm that it took the change /view the file after you pushed the file/rebooted your phone?
Yeah, took the midwest file & moved it to the system/etc folder & removed the old file., did it all w/ root explorer rebooted the phone & everything... got the same performance as I did before, 2 min or so for a lock. Then consecutive, immediate locks as long as I didn't leave the maps app alone for too long.. @ one point I wound up using gpsfix to actually get a damn lock, it was so bad....
I'll just have to settle for slow locks.

Hmm. I wonder if it's a hardware or driver problem. One thing I did want to note; I had tried using the latest version of root explorer to replace the file, mounting the system as write, etc prior to using adb. The result showed the file as being replaced however after rebooting to confirm changes the file was back to default. It might be worth double checking the file to confirm that the replacement actually took. If not possibly mount the system in clockwork and push the file using adb.
Hmmmmm, good call, I DID make sure to mount the system as r/w as opposed to r/o but I didn't chk to see if the file got overwritten by the system on restart (if I'm understanding you correctly?).
I'll try it again, this time using adb...

You don't install system apks, you push them to /system/app, or drop them in there manually with a file explorer that has root access (root explorer, es file explorer, et cetera). User-installed apps live in the /data partition.
Make sure you have the matching settings.odex in /system/app as well.

So after updating to Android JB 4.2 I can no longer write to the ' SdCard/Android/Obb ' directory.
Can anyone confirm if they are having this problem too? Is it due to this stupid and annoying feature that google has now implemented that they wish to check all .apk files before they are able to be installed? I turned this off in settings but it seems that it turns itself back on again after every reboot?
I cannot write to the directory from my PC via USB cable or even through a root app despite the phone telling me that I have -Rw access to the folder and all of it's subfolders etc.
I even tried writing via Linux but it doesn't work either... even if I try and force a write.. plus I cannot access the internal memory when the phone is booted down...
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
Think you need to have root Explorer to write to obb

Before upgrading I could write to the directory from either my PC or Root Explorer or Solid Explorer. Now I can't seem to write to it at all. So it's not that unfortunately...
R: [Q] Can no longer write to Android/Obb in JB 4.2?
As far as i can remember u can edit the obb directory even without root....but i'm an android kinda novice.
Try another file browser from the phone (the one from rhythm software is very good).
Might also be that problem with directory permissions that get mixed up to which clockwork mod always refers to (they have an option to fix directory problems).
Android, i have noticed, can get corrupted easily, have you done some serious modding to your cel phone or just root and small patching?

The connection is fine, and I can copy to all other folders no matter where. EXCEPT for this folder..
I am 99.9% sure that it's due to this annoying new Android Guard thing in the settings that asks to scan everything. Even if I turn it off, I bet that it still has some sort of affect. It's probably just denying all writes from outside an accepted source..
This really angers me. I don't want my phone to have ANY directories that I cannot write to. Especially seeing as I have to often copy files back and forth from this folder when I make updates to the 2 games I am developing..
There was no problem before updating to 4.2 and this Android Guard thing.
I'm willing to try all suggestions.. Thanks
are you using the leaked 4.2.1 rom from samsung? or a 4.2.1 aosp rom?

I'm using Android HD Revolution. It's apparently an 'official leaked' one with just the 'improvements' that Mike etc. do.
Thanks also for your reply. I'm trying to keep my device current so I can stay on top of releasing updates, but I really can't do that if I can't fix this issue. I've put it off for awhile now but it's really stalled the development process /tear

If you mean using ARHD 30.* that is not official, that is the leaked version of 4.2.1, that mike has tweaked
Before flashing ROMs, read changelists carefully please:good:
Ok well then I missed the play on words, it's not 'official' but it's a leaked version. Mike, or whoever updates the thread doesn't usually provide a very verbose changelog.
So I take it that absolutely no one here on XDA has any idea as to why I cannot write to this 'specific' area in my partition?
I have the same problem with Galaxy S4. I rooted the device but this didn't help.
I have tried loading files to obb in Windows 7, ES File Explorer, AntTek Explorer - but no results.
Edit://
I solved my problem using AntTek Explorer (root) and the path is next:
Device root/storage/sdcard0/android/obb - then I had permissions to copy files there.
I hope it help.

Thankyou very much my friend!
I forgot to write back. I solved my problem by just wiping my device and flashing a new rom. It ended up being a rom issue. No problems now.
hello there,
wondering if there is anyways to copy obb files on galaxy s4 without root?
or even make the app read obb file from where else ?
buy the app

Search youtube for-How to move OBB file to Android/obb! Android 4.2 Phone! ..
Hope that helps..
reading changelogs doesn't help the problem..
and @leijonasisu probably it would've been bad flash.. but before i say that you should change rom and check once again.. you gotta see if there was any write protection to the specific folder.. so try using an FTP client, if you still cant get access, then you gotta change the rom and try again

Sometimes we can use them by copying apk to data folder. Just copy the apk file to "/data/app folder and sey the permission. And reboot.

Hi very_lie, need specifics, what method are you using- ADB? Are you rooted? What app- is it compatible with your device, app store(play/aptoide) will tell you yea or nay. Assuming you are rooted, use a good file manager, go into settings of the file manager, give it root permissions, and change mount system folders to writable, they will be read only originally. Find out where the app needs to go. For example, earlier today, I replaced talkback app because the version that came with custom ROM force closed. Google came out with an update recently that works for me. In file explorer, went to /system/app to find out what its called- talkback.apk. Downloaded v. 3.5 from aptoide(be careful), renamed it talkback.apk. go to /system/app, deleted older talkback.apk, go to data/dalvic cache and delete system @ app @ talkback.apk @ classes.dex Took renamed apk, copied it(from sd), just long press on the file and options come up, select copy. Navigated to /system/app and paste it there. Reset permissions, again long press hit permissions, will probably at rw-rw-rw, change to rw-r--r-- read write, read, read. Reboot. Upon reboot, may say android is upgrading-all is good-dalvic cache is building. Now with certain apps you will want to delete its data- in /data/data. For this app didn't need to. Also some apps can't be put in /system/app. On my phone HTC Evo 3d, ones like facebook, Twitter, translate and other google app can. Ones like Skype n dropbox cannot- they forced closed and can cause others to misbehave. So open up your app n see if it works. Go back into file manager, /data/data and make sure your app's permissions are rwxr-xr-x. Hope this helps, follow this same format when putting"forcing" app on data partition- /data/app

I revived the topic after so much time to thank the contribution that helped me to reinstall a service that I uninstalled by mistake in my Note8.
Thank you very much!

I've got a old version of APK editor pro , that I can use . Version 1.00 to bypass any install errors .. don't ask me how to get it though. Regards :angel:
Of course I could also have flash stock firmware again but I needed a simple solution to use the media I had available at that moment, only two Note 8 (mine and my wife's to extract the apk) and little 3g signal (when I had) to find a solution.
I appreciate the recommendations after having solved the problem but the object of my post was to thank for the help, the rest are anecdotes.
Regards
