Straight Talk Sprint Galaxy S3 Sch-S960L Everything But 4G - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Everything works but 4g. I can't get the apn settings to save. Im guessing it may be due to this or being stuck on nd6 radio. Info on custom roms for this device are scarce but some say they have working 4g on cyanogenmod roms. So far ether downgrade to stock 4.1 touchwiz or stay with the newest stable cyanogenmod and lose 4g. If the straight talk model would have gotten the kitkat update like samsung said it would i wouldn't have the problem of needing nd8 for touchwiz 4.4 but id still be using a cm based rom always been enjoying cm since my g1 . if anyone has any info on how to get working 4g it would be verry helpful. I have apn backup from the stock rom just cant edit them on cm 11

T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 SGH-T859 which rom?

Hello, I have the "4g" flavor white back T-Mobile version of this tab and with there being different flavors of the 10.1 I am not sure which rom to use. After rooting the phone and getting revovery installed CM downloaded and installed the wifi version of the rom. I thought I found the nightly thread of the tmo version but revovery wouldn't install it saying that the build version was wrong. So I have gone back to stock until I can get this issue cleared up. I think my build prop may be wrong in the device because com.phone.android force closes on boot on the stock rom (I think I need to reinstall stock). But I am still not sure which flavor of the rom to install. I want the CM ICS.
I am not new to installing and using custom roms. I have been doing this since the MT3GS and have been using CM on that since Froyo. I am currently using MT4GS and currently have the CM ICS alpha 4 on it. I am just a bit confused at this point since it is not cut and dry.

I have this one on now There are also CM9 nightlies on the CM site I believe but no issues with this other than camera. There is a camera patch also that makes the back camera work.

Here is the thread with the camera patch.

Not sure why not many people help on this device it's a very nice device and works great on the T-Mobile network but anytime I ask anything no one ever really answers.
This thread will help you get started

Thank you very much!! I think I have the wrong recovery installed which is causing all my issues. It is seeing my device as a wi-fi only device and not a tmo device.
I just got home a few minutes ago, and I had the wrong recovery installed. I got the right one in and everything is going swimmingly so far. Thank you again!
I wish there were subforums for every flavor instead of everything all mixed up. It makes it confusing when you are dealing with 80 different versions of the same device.

Kernal issue or ROM issue?

I have a Galaxy S2, I9100, original, I had the LoS Kernel from early on, and I have had recent troubles upgrading. I've upgraded to Dream Kernal, Siyah Kernal, and several other kernals. The phone boots when I load each individual rom, however, several services fails to load.
Am I missing something? I haven't updated this phone since it first came out, and after months of "update messages" from Sprint, I've decided to update it and I'm having difficulty. I've got CWM downloaded and I've used CWM to update each rom and kernel. If I could get some direction that'd be great. I just want the latest Android version and some type of superficial visual ROM ontop. I am generally very okay with each ROM, just upset that the current kernal leaves me with a failure of signal, causing me to reboot.
Update
I currently have Kernel version 3.043-rc1-Siyah-Dorimanx-V5.78-SGII-PWR-CORE and AOKP Version ThunderBolt Rom JB by ALHuessein Mohammed and Android version 4.1.1. . My Build is ThundrBolt by ALHussein Mohammed and I can't get any of my active services to work. Wifi doesn't work, sending texts doesnt work, surfing the internet doesn't work. Nothing. I get the phone to boot, but nothing comes of my boot. I have tried several different kernels, and different ROMs, but none of them seem to fix the issue of standard services working. I'd appreciate some help with the issues. My CWM version is 6.0.1.2-Siyah. I'm pretty confused on the whole matter.
As far as my knowledge goes, the Kernel is like the underlying infrastructure, and the ROM is like the OS. I don't really know what I've done to **** this **** up, but it's no longer functioning as a regular phone. I've used ODIN before, but seeing how I have CWM, I figured it wasn't required. Any help would be appreciated. Even setting my phone back to stock, since backing up my phone through CWM didn't actually do anything, since I can't restore back to my previous version.
I'm in dire need. Please assist.

So no one has any idea why my phone boots, but every active service fails to load? I guess I'll have to call this one a loss.

hey ma8 first and foremost u should have patience here on XDA.
bumping Post like this will lead u knowhere and people will simply ignore the same for sure
now coming back to ur issue what i would suggest u is this before jumping into kernel flashing thing have u checked in the ROM thread of the one ur using for what kernel people r using there r any kernel related post in that thread.
if not do the same first (search that thread for post that r similar to ur issues).
also u can try the latest Siyah kernel v4.1.5 and see

Several contradicting pieces of information here that I've bolded.
The I9100 is a GSM phone. Sprint is a CDMA network. The I9100 won't even work on Sprint's network.
When I google for "LoS kernel site:forum.xda-developers.com", the first result I get is for this, which is an Epic 4G Touch kernel.
These things tell me you are not in the correct forum for your device.
The Sprint variant for the Galaxy S2 is the Epic 4G Touch, and that forum is located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281

Yeeeahh. I had searched Samsung Galaxy SII, and I was led here. I had forgotten that my particular phone was an Epic 4G Touch. Thanks for the direction.

Simple Mobile 4g working on different roms

ok someone gave me a sim unlocked i717 ....he had simple mobile in it but had never used the data i bought a simple mobile sim and activated the best plan they have for it...i change the ROM to The Collective props to AOCP used you on my epic 4g touch for sprint loved it just needs to be updated on there anyways i looked up saurom to get the 4g to work correctly on this phone and was thinking why dont i just do a back up and flash the modem on my current rom with TWRP recovery 2.4.4 and gues what it works no problem and heck its an ICS modem http://multiupload.biz/jzy15q1jphfx/989%20Leak%20based%20ICS_MultiUpload.biz.zip.html
is the one i used any questions feel free to ask or comment
There is no such thing as an ICS or GB or JB modem. Those modem updates were released at the same time as OS upgrades.

[Q] Difference between the i9200, i9205 and the l600

I have searched and searched and couldn't find any information on the differences between these galaxy mega devices. What I have seen is people saying "don't flash a i9205 or i9200 rom to a l600 device". And my question is what makes these devices so different that would cause them to be bricked? I've seen some AWESOME roms for the i9205 devices and would love to flash it to my l600 with the twrp recovery, but also want to know what differences if any would there be in these devices? The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that the l600 is factory locked to CDMA, but of course with other awesome people here at xda that can fixed. So other than that, are there componet differences, or perhaps drivers that are specific to the i9205 that aren't correct for the l600? I have my l600 running on GSM network with lte even at times, but i'm stuck on the 4.2.2 rom as well. That's why i'm asking this, because if the difference is just the bands used, then I would think that it would be ok to flash a rom for a i9205 galaxy mega to a l600 galaxy mega. Also, would the custom rom touch my modem messing up the changes I made to the band selection? Thanks!

I'm stuck on 4.2.2 because i chose not to let it update, plus my phone is rooted so the ota updates don't work. But i unlocked my phone so that i can use my att service with it. updating the mega with the ota updates updates the modem and bootloader with knox which doesn't allow for flashing custom roms.
I want to bump this thread because I too want to know the answer. The L600 I have is only being used as a tablet, so as long as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth work I could care less about the cellular functionality.
Nobody?
If your phone has recovery installed. Why don't you add mumtirom, and try flashing the ROM as a secondary and see what happens. If it works, you're golden. If it doesn't, you didn't lose anything.
Multirom doesn't support SPH-L600

can't get network signal after installing Darklord

Hello. this is my first thread any help is really appreciate it. am not advance phone user in anyway but i do have some understanding about work around and tweeking a bit.
my phone is the galaxy note 3 sprint version and still with sprint software version is (N900PVPUEOK2) model # is (SM-N900P) last night i installed the TWRP V. 3.1.0.0 bootloader (i think that's what it called) and from it i tried to install the Darkloard ROM this is it exactly the one i tried (DarkLord.Note7.Full.Port.V1.0.edit.Ufo71) it didn't work at all it was stuck at some point and the device restart so i change the TWRP to V. 2.8.5.0 and it did work Darklord installed perfectly then flashed the kernel (DarkLord-Kernel-Note7-hlte-eur-V1.0) the device worked with out netwrok signal and keep giving me the com.android.phone app not responding Erro message over and over i tried to fix and did all the process again and again still same exact problem then i flashed this fix (Updated_DarkLord_Note7_REPACKED) still same exact problem no signal tho the phone work perfectly but even when i go to network search no network appear... i even tried and flashed the Darklord same version i have (not sure if there is another) i flashed it from stock bootloader or the lollipop bootloader without the TWRP and again it did work but no signal. and same error message.
sorry TL,DR maybe but can someone please tell me if there is any version of the Darklord Or any Note 7 or Marshmallow ROM that can work on my Galaxy not 3 sprint without problem would really appreciate it...
when all didn't work i had to get the TWRP boot and flashed the Android 5.0 back to my phone and it work perfectly now. i still want the Not7 features tho if anyone can help.
cheers
Unfortunately, that happens on every s7/note 7 port due to the roms being meant for gsm. The workarounds are a pain and are hit or miss. One sprint user got this one working: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ormaaurora-t3540520/post71187917#post71187917
There's also this one in the sprint section: https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...sprint-users-rejoice-darklord-modded-t3498912
I'm on a gsm service now and I love using any rom from the note 3 general section without issues.

Hi, @yzar78 Exactly which Araymod did you flash? I have the same phone and service as you (Sprint Note 3) and I flashed the Phronesis v5.1 Note 7/S7 Edge rom and suffered the same problem. No network signal. Wifi worked great. Internet, bluetooth and all, just couldn't call or text. I'm a newbie, so any and all information is appreaciated.
Thanks again!

Thanks for the useful information. I've suffered the same problem after flashing the Phronesis v5.1 Note 7/ S7 Edge rom. Going to check the suggested forums now.

I'm Having the same issue.
does anyone know the service mode dialer codes?
The phone is currently set to gsm, but I'm hoping like in older roms we can switch it to lte/cdma
