LTE issues with Ting

My LTE was working fine till a month ago when suddenly it stopped working. I was running cm 12.1 from Antares one (august nightly build). I tried reinstalling the current cm rom nightly with cwm, optimized cm12.1 from jdc team but still nothing (with both cwm and twrp).

Right now I am downloading the rooted stock rom from (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-sprint/general/rom-100-stock-l720vod2-5-0-1-t3105760) to see if I any internet with that. Being a noob I am little confused with all the kernel and baseband versions. My current baseband is L720VPUFNAE and kernel is 3.4.110-Allucard-PWR-CORE. Also I have TWRP recovery right now and I plan to flash with odin. Are these all compatible?

I have a Samsung S4 (SPH-L720T). I had read that installing xposed would cause bootloops on Samsung lollipop. I couldn't find if this was resolved. I'm trying to install on a stock rom, rooted. Is there a definitive method for installing Xposed on the S4 with stock rom?

Black Screen and No Recovery

I went back to stock on my Sprint SPH-L720, from CM 10.1 to KK using the firmware from sammobile and Odin. After rebooting, all I get the notification bar and the two light-up buttons on the bottom. I wanted to go into recovery, but with Vol up + power, I get a line in the upper left that says booting recovery, but then it goes blank and will not do anything no matter how long I hold them. Only after releasing does it just boot up. So my problem is I can't see anything on my phone and I can't do even a factory reset. Thoughts? And thanks in advance.:confused:

Update modem with TWRP?

I have a 720T that I was able to successfully upgrade to CM12.1, however the modem version is still at OA3. I tried to update the modem through Odin but it gives a FAIL! (Auth) message. I think that it thinks that I'm trying to downgrade the version of Android which of course it won't do.

I thought I would try to update the modem to OK3 using TWRP but I can't seem to locate the modem file as a ZIP. Also, assuming that I come with a ZIP file is what I'm trying to do going to cause an issue?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bilgerryan:
There are no such thing as modem zip files. It's better to just make a nandroid backup, flash full firmware, flash recovery in Odin, restore nandroid.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] doraville:
Thanks for your response. Since CM12.1 is Android version 5.1.1, I was unable to Flash OK3 using Odin since it is Android version 5.0.1. I get a FAIL! (Auth) message, I assume because I'm trying to downgrade the version of Android.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bilgerryan:
Then flash a TouchWiz ROM before using Odin. Once you've made your nandroid backup of CM, it will be easy to go back. Also make sure your backup is on the external SD or backed up on PC because Odin someone's wipes the internal SD.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] doraville:
OK I will give that a try. One more question if I may: do you know if there is a compelling reason to update the modem from OA3 to OK3? Should i just leave well enough alone, it's seems to be working fine? Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bilgerryan:
They don't release any information on the modems, but i think the Lollipop modem is smoother (better hand off between WiFi and data and more stable LTE), I'm still on OH1 though. Sometimes if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you aren't having any problems it might not be worth it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] doraville:
I live in a fringe area; I have to use a high gain antenna and an amp just to get LTE and even then it's marginal. If the newer modem works better it would be worth the effort. I'll save it for a bad weather day when there's nothing else better to do. :)

Hello,

Please, need help.

I hope I put my concern right place now.

Here is my problem.

I bought used a Galaxy S4 Sprint SPH-L720T Lollipop under 5.0.1 to use in Benin, west Africa. The phone worked well but there are three days my son seems to have made improper handling including a reset in firmware update he said, and after this manipulation, the phone no longer recognizes any SIM card. "Invalid SIM" is the message i got since.

I would then ask if there is a possibility to unlock SIM myrself.

I read somewhere that it is possible on android 4.4.2 so I'd like to know if there is a possibility to downgrade from lollipop to 4.4.2

Thank you

Hi there, this seems to work for a lot of people:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-sprint/general/l720-l720t-gsm-unlock-att-tm-t3189063

I used a modified version of this method pieced together from 4 or 5 different forums. This does work for the 720t triband. Which I have. I was on lollipop 5.0.1, didnt work at all, not able to do any unlocking. I used odin and found a stock 4.3 or 4.4 kitkat rom tar and flashed it. Then I flashed the mk5 modem, and did all the unlock procedures. Then I flashed the m919 tmobile rom and got lte working. Then I flashed albe's s6 port for the regular s4 (non-tri band) and its still working great. I had to go back into the service menu (couldn't do it through the dialer (*#*#0011#*#*), didn't work (or maybe it did, I forget), I just found an app on the playstore that working searching "secret codes"). Once I got into the service menu, I did the same steps as the link above, and then I switched the radio back to lte/cdma/gsm (*#*#4636#*#*) and everything works again, perfectly, i'm using a tmobile sim in this sprint ls720t.

Hope this helps, hows the weed in Africa? :)

Hello guys, i am in problem and meed littlebit help from you guys...

I did update my phone to latest version via odin and i cant root it now, or even cannot install any recovery( always giving me fail error on odin when i try cf.auto.root or twrp recovery) thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bilgerryan:
Uncheck auto reboot and f time reset in Odin before flashing recovery and after it says PASS, wait 30 seconds and pull the battery and boot directly into recovery. From there just flash the latest SuperSU zip. Also a FAIL in Odin is caused by 3 things: a bad port (on phone or PC), a bad USB cable, or you are trying to flash something that is not meant for your device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] iamdofus:
i tried untick f.reset and auto reboot with no luck at all :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] 2WhiteWolves:
Do you have Developer Options on plus USB Debugging check? Also, did you run Odin as Administrator?

When it failed on me, I tried a different Odin, it worked.

Hi,

This phone is rooted and I have had a few different ROMs on it when I bricked it a few months ago. I forgot what I Did to have that occur.

Now I am taking some time to fix it and after reading this thread was able to flash NAE ( from SamMobile)with Odin 3.07 with no issues. Upon re-boot, nicely, I saw the Samsung banner, the little swirly thing around the Samsung banner, just like old days, but now the screen is still on the banner for nearly an hour.

When I pull the battery and go into the recovery module, the android guy is laying down with a red triangle. But when I re-boot, I get the same thing as I mentioned above.

I know when I flashed the GPE ROMs, they took a long time to do whatever they were doing. Is this the same case or did I do something wrong?

Many thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bilgerryan:
Try flashing a newer firmware, that may be your problem. NAE is very outdated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Yellow_Hornet:
Thanks for the quick reply.

Actually, I got NAE flashed but the stock ROM was not working. So I ODINed TWRP then installed a GPE ROM, and all worked fine.

Now I am on Android 5.01 and very happy.

Thank you again!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Yellow_Hornet:
Argh!!!

OK, first, the phone has no service which is fine because I wanted to get it working before buying one. WiFi works and from what I tested everything else does with the exception of audio.

Since there is no service, I can't call it to find out if the ringer works. I installed both a newer GPE and an older version, no go. I was trying to play a song as well as listen to a station on TuneInRadio. TuneInRadio steams, no sound. Music errors immediately saying it something like "...stopped working"

I tried with headphones as well, same results.

Any ideas?

Oh, the version of GPE allows you to select various components and the audio I selected was cyanogens module.

Question:

Can I steal the phone dialer from a different model, different ROM and replace my dialer program? I'm running Wicked X 10.9 on a Samsung SPH-L720, I have another phone that uses freedompop's dialer program its a kyocera hydro not sure what android version except its stock and rooted. Was hoping I could make a update.Zip with titanium backup and. Somehow make a apk? I'd prefer a freedompop ROM that was the same model but I don't have access to one. Or maybe just replace the files in the wickedX.Zip with the update.Zip files for the phone programs.

Yes I'm using freedompop on both phones. Any hint on how to proceed?

L720 signal

I have an unlocked rooted L720 that i use in Cuba. Compilation number is KOT49H.L720VPUFNG2. The celular signal it gets is weak, in some areas it looses coverage. We use GSM 850/900 bands only, not 4G not LTE not anything else. This is a real problem here in Cuba, mostly with Samsung unlocked branded devices. International models work better. Im wondering if upgrading the modem and the system if necesary would solve this issue. Maybe replacing the modem with one from the international model (I9500, I9505, I9505G, I9506) would improve the signal strenght. If someone can provide me any advice or info ill appreciate it.

I just grabbed an S4 for my son. It's a factory refurb from Sprint so it has the latest software and firmware updates. Safe to say he's already annoyed because it's not what he's used to. Anyway he asked about rooting and I said I would if I had a chance to research it. I've done this a bunch of times with several phones already. The last being an S3. So far I'm not seeing any root tutorials and the one app I saw people are saying doesn't work. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you.

I could really use some help. Up until last week I was on Optimized CM12.1 and then suddenly all heck broke loose. Since then my wifi won't stay on or connected, bluetooth crashes endlessly (it used to crash once every few days) and on top of that whenever I reboot my phone all my calls and texts go straight to voicemail until I place a call. I was on OD2, I have now upgraded to OK3 to try and fix it as well as trying Wicked X, CM13, Optimized CM13, AOSP CM13, and Stock Rooted OK3. All have had about the same issues with the stock being the least problematic. Any idea what's going on with my phone? Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bilgerryan:
Go back to a Touchwiz ROM and type ##72786# into the dialer, it will do a network reset, and update PRL and Profile. If you could tell me the specific problems you had on Wicked X then I might be able to help you more. Have you tried Odining the stock firmware? The full firmware, not just the stock ROM, it sounds like something may be corrupted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] trendicoff:
So when I was on the rooted stock I did the network reset but so far no real change, I will try it again.

As to wicked X, it was the same wifi turning off on its own constantly and bluetooth crashing. Can I try wicked again on the OK3 modem? The post isn't too clear.

Any idea where I can get the full stock firmware, I can't seem to locate it with a basic search here. Thanks!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] trendicoff:
Thanks for all the help, I figured I'd give you and everyone an update. Here's what I did:

Odin flashed back to complete stock (OK3) - still had no Bluetooth and spotty wifi

Odin flashed Stock again - no change

Rooted with Chainfire and flashed TWRP

Flashed CM12 last stable - no wifi and crashing Bluetooth

Clean flashed Wicked X bare bones - Decent wifi, no Bluetooth

Clean Flashed CM13 Optimized - Decent Wifi but continuous Bluetooth crash

Froze Bluetooth share with Titanium - perfect wifi, no Bluetooth.

So, not my preference to lose Bluetooth but I'll take it over an unusable phone.
