Freedompop working on LS990 with CandySix 3.2 MM. - Sprint LG G3

I finally got Freedompop working on my ls990 Sprint phone. In the end its not too hard if you're already setup with twrp or some other boot recovery and used to changing ROMs.
So I'm gonna skip all the how to I put a ROM on my phone stuff. I'm assuming you know if you're here.
Install SIM first.
1. Download CandySix 3.2 Official MM.
2. Do a wipe of all partitions except your internal and external storage.
3. Install CandySix.
4. On first boot skip the cellular activation. You will need your WiFi connected at first opportunity.
5. I go ahead and setup my Google account. Up to you.
6. Go to Settings>Cellular Networks Enable Data Roaming.
7. Preferred Network Type: LTE / WCDMA. I tried a bunch of other options with mixed results. It never really worked right until above settings.
8. Go to Access Point Names. Choose Freedompop.
9. Go to Network Operators. It will do a quick search. Freedompop should be listed among some others. Choose Freedompop and it will try to connect and should show success or unsuccessful. If it doesn't back out of it, cycle Airplane mode on and off to reset your radios. Give it a minute and try again.
That was all I did. Well it took me all day to figure it out but it shouldn't take more than an hour or so.
Also very important. Only App from Freedompop you actually need is the Messaging app. That's how you actually make calls and texts. It's VOIP.
If you download the app to manage your account it doesn't quite work. Never could find my device, just says try again later. This is very minor as you can just manage your account online.
That's it. Have fun.

[SOLVED] Mobile connection and SMS stopped working after messing with ROMS

Hi guys,
few days ago I've decided to move forward with Fusion Update 7 ROM to Fusion Update 8. Procedure was about normal beside the fact I had also purged SD card. Upgrade went well, but:
I cannot get mobile connection
No SMS can be sent
No matter which ROM/RADIO I had flashed after my previous move everything beside those two is working. So I can get WIFI connection or receive SMS, I can also call and receive calls.
My configuration:
- Hardware: HTC HERO GSM (white)
- Recovery: AmonRa 1.7
- ROM: FROYO_2.2_elelinux_v2.2 (at the moment)
- RADIO: 63.18.55.06OU_6.35.15.01 (at the moment)
Additional info:
- SMSC is set correctly (checked using *#*#4636#*#*)
- APN list is correct
- rollback to vanilla 1.5 ROM from RUU not helped
- other SIM cards from other carriers work the same way
I trying to get some debug information using adb, but only thing I can find is that ppp connection is missing in netcfg.
Do anyone know how to initiate Mobile Connection through adb shell ? or anyone get similar problem before?
Thank in advance,
Problem solved. During messing with ROMS my SIM card must been somehow damaged.
After more tries with other SIM cards my phone started to work finally.
You are missing the correct apn settings for your mobile data and also missing or have the wrong SMS service number, have a search on the forums here, or Google and you should find them. Always worth backing these up or writing them down, as not all rom's have necessarily got all providers son's included.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
Thank you for fast reply.
I checked those before:
SMSC:
- refreshed with *#*#4636#*#* and those looks correctly for my carrier
APNs:
- there where missing fields in APN config which I've updated according to carrier configuration
Still nothing had changed.
I assume that it must be some kind of config that do not change between ROMS.
(I will update first message with those info.)
Did you checked with an other SIM/carrier?
Yes I did.
Effects where the same.
I've also rolled back to vanilla 1.5 ROM from RUU. Nothing changed.
It must be some kind of external configuration that is not changed via ROM replacement. Can this be true?

[Q] Flashing to Pageplus

I'm following the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575749 for flashing the evo 3d to page plus from sprint. currently i have the phone rooted with s-off running meanrom. under the instructions it says you need to enter the MSID on the phone and if you don't have it to call your service provider. I called page plus and they say that they can't give me a MSID without the phone being activated on their service. I'm not sure what to do next. Do I give them the new ESN and have the change the service and then will they be able to give me the MSID or is there another method to do this?
Thanks for any help.
Edit: i'm currently on page plus with a old lg 9100 and the phone i'm trying to flash is a sprint phone that has never been activated.
second question: the apn backup and restore app says that APNS cannot be restored or deleted on this device because android 4.0+ does not allow 3rd party apps to write apn settings. what should I do to get this to work. i have the phone rooted with s-off currently running meanrom. should i put a different rom on there?

Have you flashed the page plus prl yet? If so you need to call them and give them your esn number. I believe the msid is for if you want to port your number over first before you call page plus. If you followed the guide to a T up until the apn part. Even though apps won't allow you to write to the apn, its ok because all your gonna do is delete and restore. Put your phone in airplane plane mode. Delete your current apn, click restore apn chose the page plus one. Disable airplane mode and reboot. I hope this helps you.

thanks, for the input. i'm going to try this a little later today.
so just an update for anyone who might stumble onto this thread. I figured out the steps: (Thanks Jsparta26)
After I flashed the prl, I called page plus and they activated the ESN. The MSID was the same as my phone number. Phone still didn't work, so i reflashed the PRL and then the phone was working. I didn't need to delete the APN, it was just working after. Now phone works for calls and 1x data. no MMS yet, got to figure that one out.
thanks for the help.
Your mms is also included in the apn file. Try the delete and restore method to see if works for you

I'm getting the message: Unfortunately APSs cannot be restored or deleted on this device because Android 4.0+ does not allow 3rd party apps to Write APN settings.
The Options in the Program are: Backup APNs, Restore APNs, Delete Backup Files, Delete APNs, and Donate.
Not sure what to do from here.
Ignore the part of backup, delete and restore. I was able to do this with an aosp rom and should work with a sense rom. You just cannot write to the apn file. Make a backup of your original apn, delete the current one, then restore using the page plus apn file and reboot. It should work. If not then manually copy it the apn file with a file explorer into your sdcard and take the page plus file and paste in the original location of the file and reboot. Let me know if that works.COLOR="Silver"]
---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------
[/COLOR]Which app are you using? Well if it don't work then I have another solution. Do you happen to know the settings of page plus's apn settings? Also do you know your msl code? If so, then open up your dialer and type ##3282# and punch in your msl code under edit. Once your through click on advanced and scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click on mmsc settings. If you know the settings you can manually input the settings in their correct spots. Once you do that hit commint changes or modifications at the top of the screen and hit reboot

I think I figured it out. In the settings for the program there is an option for "ignore ICS". i selected that and was able to delete and restore. looks like mms is now working, but it still shows 1x data.

yeah, 1x not so good.
Well I am glad that you got mms working. Not sure about the 1x signal, it could be a cell tower issue, not enough cell towers or that page plus's network is low priority. Have you flashed the latest page plus prl?

plenty of cell towers here, so that shouldn't be a problem. i'll try and flash the other prls and see what i get (right now i'm running the one from the main thread included in the rar). in the main thread i think there were problems with people not getting 3g. if i can't solve it with the prls, i'll have to comb through that thread for a solution.
Thanks for your help.

No problem. Just keep this in mind. Check to see if your radios are up to date on page plus's firmware. People used to have that problem when they went flash happy with the vm ruu ics leak back in may and messed up their phones with the dreaded 1x signal. Just something to think about. Good luck.

FIX for unable to add APNs (tested for LG G3)

For some reason I was unable to find this anywhere on the internet but managed to fix it myself, so I'm writing here to document it.
I have a T-Mobile LG G3 (model LG-D851) and after rooting, something happened that made me no longer able to add APNs. On top of that, there were no APNs registered on the phone, so I was unable to access any form of mobile data, although telephone worked. T-Mobile's technical support wasn't able to find the solution either. (In retrospect, using Titanium Backup to restore telephony data (messages etc.) likely corrupted my APN database).
Basically what was happening was in Settings -> Networks -> Tethering & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names, it said "No APNs", and selecting menu -> New APN did nothing; no menu appeared or anything. Basically I didn't have T-Mobile's LTE APN registered and I couldn't re-add it.
I tried a lot of things to fix it, but the solution was actually very easy (requires root): in the root directory, go to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ and notice the "telephony.db" file. This is an SQLite database that has the APN data in it, but in my case it was corrupted. I simply renamed the file, then rebooted my phone (actually, the phone crashed ) and voila! LTE was working good as new on restart. The system detected the file was missing and created a new one with default settings; that is, with T-Mobile's APN already inside. "Add APN" also works now.
Maybe someday this will help someone else in my situation. Basically, be careful with Titanium Backup, haha.

Sprint Wi-Fi Hotspot Mod?

Has anyone gotten this to work on the S9+ yet? I don't plan on activating mine until it is, and was hoping the same thing that worked on S8's would on this model as well.
Ive tried the S 7 Edge mod Here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/hotspot-bypass-nougat-ok-t3563446)
but it makes the "you havent subscribed to hotspot" message come up (have to factory reset to get it back)
Sucks because it didnt even count data toward it. I think it has to do with OREO and wording changes in the CSC.
You keep looking and I will keep trying and hopefully we will get this going

Thank you
This is what worked for me. My Shortcut Master Lite program had the APN greyed out. I followed these instructions to a T!
This..............
1) Dialer App, ##3282# (DATA)
2) Edit
3) Sprint MSL for mine is 000000
4) APN Settings
5a) "APN" and "APN protocol" should be editable. Make a minor change, save your APN.
5b) Then change them back, save the APN again. Do this for each APN you want full access to.
6) Open the Shortcut Master Lite and open LTEFunctionalityTest
7) Open LTE APN Setting
8) If it's greyed out, close everything and then restart from #6.
9) Edit APN Type, add ",dun" to the end.
10) After you finish editing, save, and you should be good to go.

just factory reset if you wrote to the global settings with ADB from the old MOD. the language is different in the build prop.
the ONLY way to get the build prop back is a factory reset. we are working on a new ADB method now!

[SOLVED] Mobile data exclamation mark

Hey guys,
I wanted to make a post about this issue as I spend some time searching the Internet for a solution.
My girlfriend had this problem on her OnePlus 6T but I understood later it wasn't related to the phone.
What happened was the internet connection didn't work except for some apps like WhatsApp and Messenger, and there was an exclamation mark next to the mobile data icon.
This indicates that the internet server cannot be reached, and this issue can have many causes from what I saw on the forums.
So the aim here is to list all the possible causes and the associated solutions, instead of posting on a 2 year old thread.
#1 You have used all your data
This was actually her problem, and I'm glad I saw a guy asking this question on a forum because it is so obvious we don't think about it.
And I suspect this is the most common issue, with some people saying the problem disappeared a few days later. So in this case you know what to do!
#2 OTA update issue
Apparently an update can reset the APN (access point name) settings and make the phone connect to a server that is not configured to provide internet
1. First go to settings
2. Mobile Network Settings
3. Access Point Names
4. Open the three dots on the right hand corner
5. Reset to default
6. Reboot
If it still doesn't work make sure your 'APN Type' field contains at least "default,supl".
Next option is to enter manually the APN settings, for that:
1. Find a webpage from your carrier explaining which settings to enter to configure the APN
2. Go to Mobile Network Settings/APN
3. Click on the "+" and enter the settings
#3 Unknown issue
Here are some other possible solutions to the problem:
Change preferred network
1. Go to Network settings
2. Mobile network
3. Change the preferred network to 3G
4. Wait until the exclamation point disappears, now it should work on the 3G network
5. Switch back to 4G
These methods have not provided results from what I've seen, but if none of the above solution worked you may want to try!
Clear the GPlay services cache
1. Go to settings
2. Applications
3. Google play services
4. Memory usage
5. Clear cache
Clearing Cache
1. Power down the phone.
2. Wait until the device is completely off.
3. Then press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time.
4. Continue holding these two buttons during the initial OnePlus splash screen.
5. When the OnePlus logo goes away, you can let go of these two buttons.
6. And then wait until the phone boots into Recovery Mode.
7. If you have a password set, you will have to enter the pin to decrypt(basically unlock access to storage) here.
8. Tap on the language of your choice.
9. Tap on the Wipe Data and Cache option.
10. Tap on the Wipe Cache option.
11. Tap the Yes option when asked to confirm.
12. Wait for the phone to clear the cache partition.
13. Then tap on the Reboot option to restart the phone.​
