I've been flashing roms and noticed my gps wouldn't work yesterday. flashed a couple other roms today and I can't get 4g signal, it just keeps saying H. should I be flashing a modem after each rom?

edit: I restored a stock backup I had before I started flashing roms and my 4g lte signal is back, no more H icon. what could be the problem? or solution?
[LG Optimus G Pro] bor3d2damax:
What's your carrier?
[LG Optimus G Pro] deadenz:
at&t
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
It's probably not the modem. CM/AOSP ROMs don't even flash modems. If you look, there are no basebands in the .zips. Not only that, but there's a growing body of evidence to suggest that modem/baseband flashing does not work at all via CWM/TWRP anyway.

Probably it's related to the RILJ.

The Open Source RILJ isn't as optimized as the stock one, and when you flashed back to stock, you got the stock RILJ. You baseband didn't change.
[LG Optimus G Pro] deadenz:
so would that mean I should restore my stock backup and then flash the rom I want to install? does flashing rom after rom complicate things at all? or is there a way to completely start from scratch kinda like restoring the stock backup

this is on the instructions to flash cm 10.2 "Make sure you install this MODEM. Without it, you'll have a phone that never deep sleeps. ever." is this true with all roms or just cm 10.2?
[LG Optimus G Pro] bor3d2damax:
You can go back to complete stock using the lg flash tool. But idk if it'll help.

[MENTION=1224686]deadenz[/MENTION]
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
That's for AT&T customers, and I think why it works is that it hooks into the part of the custom RILJ that is optimized for AT&T.

I'm not on AT&T and I've never had a problem with deep sleep, with or without flashing modems, and either way, the modem never actually changes.

I keep a clean stock CWM backup both on my PC and my internal storage on the device.

I frequently bounce between ROMs, but I always restore to stock before doing so.

There's a lot of strange behavior with sd cards, directories, etc. when doing so, however, because the recovery creates a mnt/storage directory that cannot be seen by the PC when running custom ROMs at all. You have to do an adb pull to backup from the directory. It's a PITA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
This is an port of Sky Note from our sister AT&T Note 2 variant.This ROM is developed by seanzscreams and wouldn't have been possible to be working on our Verizon Note 2 without the hard work of runandhide05 along with several others. Keep in mind that while this runs pretty well there are naturally bugs so be forwarded. I'll try to keep this updated as more bugs are found but so far from my time running this it's pretty smooth with a few exceptions.

I want to give thanks to lacoursiere18, scoobiesnack, runandhide05, WarlockLord (if I forgot to add your name let me know) for the hours of frustrating futile attempts to fix sms and for the logs and ideas that were passed around which eventually led me to the right fix for sms.

AngryManMLS originally started this port so if you like this rom be sure to give him a HUGE thanks for all of the hard work he put into this. He has moved on now to help on other projects and I will be continuing the development on the port.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chiefsfan69:
Just to maybe help or just to give a heads up but i have been able to backup and restore this rom multiple times with success. Not sure if the op just needs updated our not on this?!? Thank you for the rom and thank everyone who is helping to make things better...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Thanks for letting me know. I'll update the main post.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheLoonyRebel:
Oddly enough I was never able to restore properly. It would just boot loop on me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
I just tried it and it did take forever to get past the boot screen but it finally came up. It is odd that some people are having trouble and others aren't. I may look into the boot.img , I will note that I did my Nandroid with note 3 features installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] runandhide05:
Just so I can follow... Looking good guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheLoonyRebel:
Yeah I think I had it sit for close to 10 minutes then gave up. Tried on R8-2 when I had the Note 2.

And for those who are wondering why the change in things here's my post from the previous thread...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chiefsfan69:
Well sad to see you go but thank you for bringing this over and sharing the goods. .. I think the will be good things for this rom

---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 PM ----------

By note 3 features you mean air command? I'm just making sure I am not missing some features lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Yep , air command. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Well I have a note 3 also so I guess I'll see you on the other forums also. Thanks again for this rom it got me started on trying to make a custom rom of my own.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drarkanex:
I backed up my entire phone... with my usb otg cable.. formatted the int sd card and ext sdcard. Then loaded this rom. Flawless other than no sms.. but sending as mms works. However how can I set it to always send as mms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chiefsfan69:
OK cool Thank you, yes I've got air command working here also. Wierd though cause I've been able to backup and restore like 3 or 4 different timHaes to and from this rom. The one thing that I can't get working on this rom is any handwriting? It won't let me pull up the handwriting pad at any time at all?

---------- Post added at 08:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

I don't know that you can? But if you do the "add slide" it will convert it everytime. The extra step is just a minor inconvenience until we can figure out the fix
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Well people I have some good news and some bad news. I have the dialer working the bad news is I can no longer send MMS. I'm still working on it and hope to have it working in the morning. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
You mean to dial in a call? If you go to *#*#4636#*#* and choose LTE/gsm/CDMA as your preferred network and then toggle airplane mode on and off , both dialer and MMS should work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
That never worked for me. Now if I can just get me MMS back I'm golden :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Okay , well let me know when you get it working and I'll either fix a flashable patch or just update the rom if possible, to include your fix :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] real0325:
I didn't get to try them, did the note 3 features work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dawiseguy77:
Do third party SMS apps work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrownla:
Did you find anything enlightening in the radio log I posted?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krazykrivda:
Not much to go off of in that log for me. I'm comparing the build.prop over other 4.3 roms that I have running on the note 2, and seeming like there are a lot of things missing.

Not much progress on my end though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Can you PM me what you found missing in the build prop please?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrownla:
Deleted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Ok I have a question? Is SMS sent over 4g or is it still on 3g and with this ROM do we even get 3G?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Sms over ims is what is supposed to send sms over 4g. 3g is present on this rom but only if you choose evdo only :what::what: of course this breaks everything else radio wise and gives you no signal bars. Of course this means you still cant send sms because instead of just checking for the 3g ipv4v6 to be open it also checks for signal.. its a catch 22 at the moment..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Anyone want to test the next sms patch?

https://copy.com/O8qBCDWdzBD18bPM

After flashing - reboot then open a terminal emulator, type su - grant superuser access, then type fixsms.sh

Let me know if anything happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krazykrivda:
few things:

I think the command should beshould be

/system/fixsms.sh

sqlite3 is not installed on the device in bin

I'm not sure your script has proper permissions

UPDATE:

I manually added sqlite3 binary, and chmod 775 on both that and your script, it succesfully rebooted.. but still SMS failures.

this was all done on the most current version posted in OP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Okay, yeah I noticed the same thing on my end :/ it was worth a shot though. Thanks for testing it and pointing out my mistakes :sly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krazykrivda:
No problem... (just making the notes if other attempt)

You can add the given chmod to your install scripts and ad sqlite3 if you wanted

Side note:

*#*#4636#*#* menu, if you run the top PING command you should not see the failures we see.

Attaching a screenshot of another 4.3 rom on my note2 of a successful run....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
did you guys looked in framework2.jar under

apktool\baksmali\classout\com\sec\android\ims
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WarlockLord:
This is my old preferred_network_mode patch for my MIUI rom. Why would it fix SMS?

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------

SMS sends over 1X, not 3G/EVDO
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
At this point in time were trying every possible key until we find the right one. And the #1 thing I've learned since ive started working with this rom port is consider everything.. even the least expected. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krazykrivda:
what can you tell me about framework2.jar? I'm not familiar with this, nor am I seeing it on the other ROM i'm comparing against.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WarlockLord:
Try setting it to 5 rather than 8. This will give you 1X only (No LTE/No EVDO). I don't think Verizon has enabled SMS over 4G yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Can you give a list of what the preferred network number correspond to? I would like to try the network mode lte/cdma/gsm/evdo but it doesnt give that option ..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WarlockLord:
* The preferred network mode 7 = Global

* 6 = EvDo only

* 5 = CDMA w/o EvDo

* 4 = CDMA / EvDo auto

* 3 = GSM / WCDMA auto

* 2 = WCDMA only

* 1 = GSM only

* 0 = GSM / WCDMA preferred

8 is CDMA/LTE if I remember correctly. Above that, I have no idea.

EDIT: 9 is LTE only
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krazykrivda:
tried this, stlll no luck in sending SMS

I'm seeing network type "LTE:14" where I usually see "LTE" (in device info accessed from *#*#4636#*#*),

also the Ping Hostname (www.google.com) if failing. I believe if we solve for these 2, our problem is solved
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WarlockLord:
you're still getting an LTE signal after changing the network mode to 5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krazykrivda:
Yes, unless that is due to accessing the testing screen causes a reset?

is changing the setting via your script effecting the same variable as set by this menu?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WarlockLord:
Yes, it is directly changing the network mode in the SQL database. Opening 4636 or PhoneInfo will likely reset it.

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ----------

We should be pulling libs and settings from the Sprint 4.3 leak, not the AT&T 4.3 leak. I'm gonna play with this tonight when I get home now that I have a Windows laptop to work with. It's not easy to repackage roms on a mac.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krazykrivda:
whats the best way to ensure changes have taken effect after a reboot?

And yes, i've mentioned this somewhere in terms of the Sprint v AT&T updates
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WarlockLord:
Use root explorer to open the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db file, go to the secure table, and look for preferred_network_mode and make sure its set to whatever you were telling it to be changed to 5,6,7 etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WarlockLord:
WHOA. Either that's the wrong table or they changed a LOT in 4.3. I'll flash when I get home and take a look.

Does a full, non differential 4.3 leak exist for sprint?

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

I agree that some things are missing from build.prop that are probably important. Where is LTEonCDMADevice? I know that's not exactly what its called, but I don't see any reference to it in build.prop
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krazykrivda:
Can someone who is willing to work through some things with em and is currently on this ROM msg me?

going to do some compare and contrast of a few things, and it is too tedious to flip back and forth roms.

Also, after looking at the secure table on various roms... they are all drastically different and I have several running fine without the edits contained in the smsfix most recently posted that makes edit to secure table in com.android.providers.settings
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WarlockLord:
I'm flashing now. Get me on google if you want a more immediate response. tonydileone@gmail.com
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
ok I have working sms :) uploading now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krazykrivda:
please share how you fix. It's driving me nuts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WarlockLord:
Does it relate to SecTelephonyProvider, SecMms, and Framework2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
I disassembled the OTA patches from the sprint OTA leak and grabbed the RIL files and the and made a few build.prop edits.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WarlockLord:
I'm guessing we'll also get 1x and 3g from those ril files
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Looks like it to me, of course im still testing everything..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krazykrivda:
sprint - the key to happiness!

Looking forward to that update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
its far from bug free, i notice right off the bat that wifi isn't working but sms is. I know we will have this thing fully functional before the Vzw ota. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krazykrivda:
neither wifi fix solves your wifi problem?

Have you tried any s pen features yet (drawing, s pen keyboard, etc)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kuchar09:
Congrats on finally figuring out SMS!! I'll have to give the new update a shot when you finish it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Im trying the kernel fix now, Spen features works when you flash the air command zip.

Edit:

Devil2 kernel wifi fix is confirmed working :) (ill try to build this kernel into the next build)

Also knox is completely removed and the rootloss problem has been fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Dude you're awesome great work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dieseldane:
Great work. Way beyond my capabilities but cant wait for the new flash for my note.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] runandhide05:
sure enought, replacing the sec-ril fixed all my issues on the release i have,.. not a single bug that i can find now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WarlockLord:
I'm curious, just for my own knowledge. How did you turn the sprint patch files into usable files?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
R9x link is now live - Im already working on updating the base to R9Z :) let me know if there's any bugs you guys find.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
You just need to decompile one of the patch zips (I used sprint / rooted -"MC2_to_MK4_Update_Rooted") , the sec-ril is not hidden in any *.s files within the patch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kmthomas2009:
The rom u have uploaded. Do I need to flash the wifi fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
On the R9X build I would suggest using the Devil2 kernel I linked in the install instructions, that should be all it takes to get your wifi up and going.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kmthomas2009:
Alright thabks. Been following this post for a while. I needed sms so soon as I saw it was fixed I had to hop on this. Thanks for yoyr hard work and everyone who contributed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] odean14:
Please port this over to the sprint version please!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shellie03:
Thank You for your work! It is greatly appreciated!!! I can't seem to download the air command link. It asks for a decryption key when I try to download it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheLoonyRebel:
Gotta say amazing work stvn1337 and company. Makes me kinda wish I still had the Note 2 so I could play around with the recent fixes and what not. Still happy to played a part in bringing this port over to our Verizon Note 2. Enjoy everyone! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RemnantKing2:
I've read the past two pages and I just want to make sure once again before doing anything. Forgive me.

With this latest build SMS is workiing, and for WiFi all that needs to be done is flash the devil kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Okay , I'm fixing to update the link for the rom and you will no longer need the devil kernel or to flash the air command seperate. Keep an eye on the main post for the update shortly. It is base R9z. :)

Edit:

R9Z Link is now live
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RemnantKing2:
Downloading now, you basically answered my question.

As excited as I was when this first came out, SMS was mandatory for me since it was my ony form of communication.

This is exciting lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] monkeyass408:
yay. Im totally jumping on this. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] moosiemooses:
Have 4G but no signal bars. Also tiles are missing from noti. bar.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
This is the only bug I've found so far. I'm working to patch it now. In the meantime just be aware that you still have signal, the icon just isnt showing you how much signal at the moment.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
And for the tiles problem try updating to the newest R9Z build that I posted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] moosiemooses:
You sir are a machine!:thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shellie03:
WOW! Thank you Thank you Thank you! :)

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!

Oh did I mention thank you? :D:D:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kmthomas2009:
Trying to go into about device force closes settings. Is this a known issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Im not sure, are you using build R9Z. Its not force closing when I go into about device. Anyone else seeing this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
[MENTION=2310748]stvn1337[/MENTION] thanks for all your work with this ROM. I think this has jump started a lot of people learning on how to mod a ROM. I for one have learned a lot. I know none of my efforts had any real effects on the out come but this was a great learning experience. Thanks again for letting us all come along for this ride. You got a fully function version up 3 day before release great job :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kmthomas2009:
Im on the x version. Downloading z now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Thank you, and if you will read through the main thread you will see that your efforts did help get this rom fully functional. Thanks for your dedication to this rom, and I hope more people, including yourself, do start modding and developing roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] runandhide05:
Care to share the air command zip?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Logik77:
I installed with TWRP, got stuck on the google boot up. Did a battery pull and now stuck on the boot screen "galaxy note 2". Won't do anything else, any advice?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Let me know if you have the same problem on R9Z

Also note that I forgot to change the build info to reflect R9Z in about device, it still shows R9x.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RemnantKing2:
How long did you wait? I believe it was said it could take up to 10 mins on first boot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Try this link : https://copy.com/Vw6nXRyZTnkJdKl8

Also the R9Z build already has the air command and other note 3 features cooked in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jewnersey:
wifi still wont work for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
That's correct it could take up to 10 minutes on the first boot. If it still doesn't load after about 10 minutes I would redownload and try to flash again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Logik77:
Sorry, I must have missed that. I'll do it again and wait.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Okay if you haven't used Odin to flash the 4.3 parameters previously , you may need to use the devil2 kernel in the r9x install instructions to get wifi to work. Of course the Odin Method has proven to be very low to no risk. Your choice on which one you want to try.
