[HOW-TO] GSM and Lollipop - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

In it's current state, Lollipop ROMs crash/hang/reboot when trying to use the GSM network on the N900P with a ROM made for it (hltespr branch).
The solution:
Flash TWRP for HLTE
Download a rom for HLTE
Flash the rom in TWRP
Flash GAPPS
Install Messenger from the Play Store for texting to function
Testing and confirmed working on the latest CM12 nightly. Have H+ on T-Mobile.

Umm... Either you are missing a step here... Or you are not explaining correctly.
I am a GSM user, and Lollipop roms crash at the modem level... Due to not being able to use the newer basebands of course. You are saying that in order to make it stop crashing, to download the lollipop rom, and flash it. That is the thing that causes the issue.
So if you could please help me with this confusion, just for the sake of the topic, I don't really care about actually getting it to work

Think he means 1st flash stock then custom rom?

Until just recently, i was on lollipop using att. I was on the MI3 firmware as needed for the gsm domestic to work. All i did was start on stock 4.4.4 flashed the baseband needed made sure it was working on the stock rom then i did a dirty flash on over the stock rom. Had to use titanium back up to wipe the apps that continued to fc. After i got all of them it work like a charm. Just switched back because i wanted a more stable rom.. so stock for me until lollipop stock is out.

What is the need to root cm? It is an already rooted custom rom. Just go to developer settings and enable root..
Resurrection Remix
I've Moto E2 4g LTE with SKU version XT1521. I've been looking for many custom roms lately to update it to Android nougat. I reached the conclusion that Resurrection remix rom is stable (if I download official version of it). In addition, I only found nightly versions of other custom roms in which I'm least interested.
Now my question is.... Will my phone still remain VOLTE ie., will I not be needing Jio 4g voice app as I'm not needing it now; for calling, even after flashing RR?
I am in need of Moto-xt-1521 firmware for 6.0/mpi24.65-39-4/3 to unbrick my phone. It would be great if anyone can provide me with this version of the firmware.

Rom Question. S6 Edge - SM g925Z Japan Softbank.

I Have the SM G925Z Version of the galaxy s6 Edge [Japan SoftBank]
I See many Roms that say "Works with many g925 Versions !" but the Japanese Z Version is never listed anywhere.
only the F T U V P etc etc versions.
If I use TWRP 2.8.6.0 to backup my current Rom, can I try these other Roms and safely return to my Stock Rom
if cell or wifi service stop working? If I try 5.1.1 Roms, I can not return to 5.0.2 roms?
Can I use TWRP to install a 5.1.1 rom that I download, even while my current Rom is 5.0.2 ?
or can I only install Roms using Odin Flash tool ?
My ZTE Warp phone was able to install Roms from downloaded Zip files with TWRP.
But I am not 100 % sure about the process.

First the s6 edge is a different style of device. To install 5.1.1 roms on the device you have to be on 5.1.1. Same with 5.0.2. Yes you can try any rom from the s6 and the s6 edge rom so long as you flash a special kernal for your device that makes the rom work on your device. If cellular data does not work, revert to your nandroid backup of your origonal os and flash another rom and you'll be good if that one works. Just repeat if the roms dont work or if you get tired of it then just stick with your stock rom which should be your nandroid backup.

Thank you. I can understand this, except for the kernal part, please explain.
How can I backup my current Kernal so that I can return to my Stock Rom backup.?
will a TWRP Nandroid backup do that automatically ?
how do I install the correct Kernal? with TWRP ?
for example, from the ROM installation , it says
[5]Install Zip from storage
[6]Flash The Capsule ROM
[7]Flash arter97 kernel
[8]Flash SuperSU
[9]Reboot
Im assuming 5 means, copy the rom to the phone, 6 means use TWRP to install,
so flash the kernal after the rom ? with Twrp ?
how can I backup my kernal first? so that I can return to my 5.0.2.
and last question, you said I need to be on 5.1.1 to try 5.1.1 roms.
the Japan SM g925Z is a 5.0.2 rom atm, they never updated to 5.1.
most of the roms I see are 5.1.1
Does that mean there is no way to upgrade to 5.1.1 while on 5.0.2 ?
or does that mean, if I flash a new TWRP and 5.1.1 Rom, I can just never return to 5.1.1 ?
Does TWRP Mean Kernel ?
maybe that is what I am missing.
I already have a working TWRP.
some roms do not mention flashing kernels in the installation, some do,
does that mean it does not matter? or does that mean that the installation guide is terrible and people are going to brick ---- if they dont know about it ?
Im not exactly sure the difference between kernel and Rom.
To answer your first question, the nandroid backup you do in twrp backs it up because it is a required portion of your rom. Which also answers your second question as yes.
The answer to your third question is you have to find a flashable zip of a custom kernal for your device. You can also try restoring your boot from the nandroid which contains the kernal and if that one doesnt work flash the custom kernal zip.
Next i need a link to the rom your trying to flash to check it out.
The only way to install 5.1.1 roms is to be on that android version. The reason is that android uses an sdk platform and 5.0.2 uses sdk 21 and 5.1.1 uses sdk 22 so those are incompatable with each other.
No way to update that device to 5.1.1 unless it is released for that device or unless the hardware sources are released for aosp roms which may be a while where samsung has not released them yet due to the new Exynos processor that they recently created.
No twrp is your recovery but it backs up your kernal with the backup.
Those roms are for specific device varients and will work without installing a kernal because the kernal that it needs is for the devices they are meant for.
The others that say install kernals are ones that didnt have the kernal put in the rom zip.

Either that or they didnt modify the kernals in the rom zip to the specifacations that they wanted so they fixed it and posted the kernal.

thank you, that does explain alot.
I am not sure which Rom I should try. None of them actually say sm g95z.
Which roms would you recommend I try first?
I am not sure any will work, they all appear to be 5.1.1 only.
which means my 5.0.2 system can not test any of them.
or more specifically, if I upgrade to 5.1.1, and they fail to connect to wifi or cellular, then I can not return to 5.0.2 I guess.
Do you know of any that are 5.0.2 ?
those should be safe to try I guess.
I just want to get rid of the 500 retarded A-- Samsung apps that auto update.
I dont need Sfinder X_x, I dont need quick connect, I REALLY dont want virus protection from samsung clogging up my performance.
I have read about build.prop tweaks and updates, but the sm g925Z version did not get 5.1.1 updates, so those fixes do not work.
I do have Root access already, but with TWRP 2.8.6.0 (Because its said that it doesnt trip knox).
but I can not un-install these fkn bloatware apps, even with root access.
This appears to be a 5.0.2 Galaxy S6 Edge Rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...edge-g925fxxu1aocv-v1-0-deodex-aroma-t3102974
but it says G925FXX, my phone is G925ZZ
I should be able to test it, and return to my g925ZZ TWRP backup pretty easily right ? since it is 5.0.2 ?
Just to confirm for other people.
I tested the VNRom 5.0.2 for G920F
it ran like S--T.
I used TWRP backup to go back to Stock 5.0.2 just fine.
no problems.

Hello, Have you found any compatible rom?

Updated to 4.3 EFS went from v1 to v2 and can't get signal on custom roms

Hello!
Phone Gt-i9300
So i was happily using omnirom for 1 year until my motherboard died last week
so i ordered a new board. i installed it, it was on 4.1.2 unlocked, and i decided to update it without making a efs backup! so dumb!
So i installed a 4.3 Stock ROM, no signal so i had to install
-Patched XXUFMJ9 kernel
- Patched BUUGMJ3 modem
So i can use my phone with no problems in STOCK....
BUT. I hate STOCK..
I have tried to flash omniroom 4.4.4, but it says unknown baseband, uknown imei.. i tried installing omniroom and then installed again the patched modem buugmj3 and ofcourse nothing happened...
So.. my question is.. Am I forced to stick with this TouchWiz Rom? or is there any way for me to do something to get omniroom detecting my signal?
Oh something i was forgeting.. before i updated to stock 4.3... i installed first omniroom.. but i decided to update to stock 4.3 because i was getting signal but it could take 1 HOUR for the phone to get the signal.. and from there signal would lose at any moment.
anyone? i read the FAQ and did this
Q9: I'm sure I've correctly flashed an SGSIII ROM with the right CSC for my network but why can I still not make calls?
If your phone was running an Android version less than v4.3 before you flashed a new ROM then you may need to install a patched modem and, if you upgraded to a newer stock ROM, a patched kernel too such as the zuluman modem FW/kernel. You will usually not need to install a patched kernel if you install CyanogenMod or a CM-based ROM. A number of kernels and modem firmwares patched for Android 4.3+ are available here.

need some advice

Hi my step son has this phone running blisspop 5.1.1 I want to update his phone to marshmallow. Can I just flash the latest cm 13 or should I odin back to stock and update that way then go through the rooting process? Im not sure if the bootloader and radio and kernel should be updated the stock way first.
I do know with my note 2 I could just flash the latest cm and flash the radio seperate. But this phone is a little foreign to me.

Currently all the CM-13.0 based ROMs cannot boot with the official marshmallow bootloader. So it would be better to just clean flash the latest CM 13
Good thing I asked. I'm sure the cm team will figure that out at some point. It's actually the reason I asked because I remember on my note 2 going from JB mr1 to mr2 Samsung implemented Knox and sxrewed up everything. Dam girls phone was stock so I did the over he air update this morning. Oh well she doesn't really care anyway.
it's not like you'll wait long for CM to work with the latest bootloader https://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/146515
EDIT: it's not like you cant update either, just install CM13 WITHOUT updating stock (which will include the bootloader), aka if you're G900TUVS1FOL1 or older, then CM13 (marshmallow) should work as it has been for the last 5 months

No data on sim slot 2 in Custom ROMS

Hi. I have tried every custom ROM from CM13 to Exodus to Slimrom. In none of the ROMS can I use both the sims. The sim for which I choose data services, the other sim gets no signal.
Is there any fix for this?
If you are trying to use 4G VOLTE. Cm13 rom yet does not support it.
Try with cm12 or miui
