regarding aosp.

I am on AOSP have tried numerous roms. I have discovered through the *#*#4636#*#* that by switching to CDMA that messaging works and LTE is disabled then obviously. Im on OCTos now and can't send messages via LTE mode only CDMA. Quite bothersome to be honest but OCTos is awesome. Im curious about the digital roaming that happens as well on nearly all AOSP roms except for OCTos. Loved your roms on the S3 bthorne can't wait to see when you fix this phone up. Stoked as hell.

hey bthorne how do you have it still as L720T after flashing AOSP. I lost that status after flashing CWM touch.....I know i have the L720T it states it on the back of my phone. Im going to flash the stock firmware and see if it returns then and wait around until further development occurs. That is unless you would like for me to test some things for you?

Sean

How would I extract a system dump without a recovery I'm rooted but stock 4.3 went back to stock last night until further development occurs. I've used adb via cmd prompt in the past. If you know the commands I would need to do I could provide it for you.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] sean82007:
hmm....sorry I never got back to you yesterday. So like when I go to adb remount and mount the system to push the parted binary it states error: device not found. Even after I kill server and restart it again.

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------

can i do what that link you posted says under a terminal on phone itself to get what you need? For some reason as soon as I adb remount or get into adb shell it automatically causes my device to not show up then......If i can do this from the terminal then I can get it for you.

skipped ahead a couple steps and did the dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 of=/sdcard/system.img command after being in su and awaiting results right now.....hopefully this is what you need. According to cat/proc/partitions it is the system

....damn the system.img it created is 2.7gb does that sound about right. Will this have all my information on it? Can I PM you the link to it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Dubbsy:
Yeah the system partition is huge. That's why I don't care for Touchwiz. And no, your info will be in the data partition. Thanks for pulling the files. It will help Rich and I iron out the kinks in the device specific files. I have couple ideas yet for the APNs and eri for the refresh. I built refresh again today. I'll be changing the APNs for it tonight or tomorrow morning again for bthorne to test.

Talk about an unfortunate name... Sprint couldn't come up with anything besides jflterefreshspr... :rolleyes:

If any TriBanders want to get involved in testing hit up bthorne for the invite. He's really the only reason the team even knew there was a triband refresh version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] sean82007:
Okay,

here is the system.img that I had extracted using the dd if and of commands. Its 2.7GB

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bykv9nCfVw4aSENuRGkzQ2x6QzQ/edit?usp=sharing

I have messed with the APNs and such and on all AOSP roms 4.3 or 4.4 the only way to get the messaging working is by going to dialer and *#*#4636#*#* and then setting it to CDMA only. Then obviously LTE is lost. Other than that thats really all the info I could give on getting maybe somewhere. If anything else is needed feel free to let me know, I tend to have a good amount of time on my hands.

Im willing to test. Im sure bthorne already anticipates that because its only been about 10 of us on this forum thread lol.

I have a rooted L720T... I forgot which rooting method I used, but I'm willing to try flashing roms to test but if anything happens to the phone, ie bricking ect. Then I will need instructions to walk me through it. I've only flashed a custom Rom once on my galaxy s android a long time ago
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bthorne79:
You will need a custom recovery right now the only recovery available is for 720 which works but its for 720

No functional ROMs for 720T

So there is no custom ROM that works with 720T right?

Now I'm confused. What is the "digital roaming" and how do you know when the phone is digital roaming vs regular roaming?

I thought the "analog roaming" was gone, or do I really have no clue of what is going on. :confused::confused::confused:

If you use a 720 ROM you will lose Spark.

Can't help you with the digital roaming, but right now there are no 720T custom ROMs that I'm aware of. I do recall one person saying he was running Sac's on his 720T (thereby losing Spark), but nobody else I've come across...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] frukyyy:
I run Sac's and it's great. I don't see much difference between sparks and LTE, maybe because I didn't use sparks much since I put Sac's about a week after I got my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] JerryGNYC:
And you have a 720T? Did you get it with 4.3/MK5? What did you use to install a custom recovery?

Spark radios/antennas will use (combine) the bandwidth from the different LTE frequency bands that Sprint has, to give you faster Internet access. If your LTE speeds are good, and you're good... doesn't matter! :good:

NAE MODEM

Guys there is the new OTA NAE modem by sprint floating around, is this for 720 only or for Ts as well. I wanna flash it but many are reporting issues with WiFi and reception. Any thoughts?

My understanding is NAE supersedes MK5 so it should work on Ts.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
That is for the L720 not the L720T. You will mess up your phone if you flash it. The NAF OTA is rolling out now for the 720T, be patient.

Thanks! Since I'm on sacks, I have to get back to stock to get the update I guess?

The NAF update may not work for sacks because the rom is for 720's not for 720Ts.

Am I right?

In other note, I'm seeing 720T threads popping every day or so. Can the OP merge one single 720T thread since there is very few of us?

I tried flashify as suggested below, didnt work for me. I installed twrp for L720 using ODIN. Worked fine but I get the "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" message when booting into recovery. It still generally boots into recovery but sometimes (once) it stuck and i had to pull battery. So I'm not sure I would recommend the L720 twrp even though it works for me, it seems like a crapshoot whether or not it will actually enter recovery.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bthorne79:
Looks to be the stock ROM. Welcome AuGmENTor. Not many people know/understand the difference between the spark and nonspark yet to me it seems to be a unbranded S4 with capability to use all bands of LTE.

Any KK ROM for 720T?

Ok got NAF and rooted successfully. Now any one who knows a stable ROM for 720T. I know that I'll lose sparks but LTE is good enough for me. I know SACS was good for 4.3 but so far they still resolving issues with 4.4.2.

If testers needed LMK.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] AuGmENTor:
TBH, I was asking just so I could flash the update of the stock ROM. I don't even have 4G connectivity in my area, so I really don't care about spark either. There's a LOT about this phone that I don't know about (ie, spark, LTE, SIM card? What is THAT for?) I wish there was a page that broke it all down for the dim witted.

I'm not looking to flash a ROM that has all sorts of buggy stuff like BT issues and data problems. The stock is fine once I get all the crap off of it and tweak it the way I like. That's assuming that flashing one of these doesn't get rid of root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] VandyCWG:
if you dont care about Spark, just check out the Dev forums. have a good nandroid backupand just try the Rom of your choice. Sacs, CM, etc would probably work, Try them, if they bootloop, nadrouid back, and try another one.

Just report back your findings, so we can share in your findings.

FYI, I do not believe that there is a NAF tar file for use to upgrade via ODIN.

I used ODIN to set me back to stock 4.3 (MK5) and then loaded NAF onto SD card and flashed via stock recovery to 4.4.2.

After that, I rooted via ODIN (CF Auto Root).

What's NAF? So confused!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] JerryGNYC:
Now, if I've got this right (still a Sam-noob) - in this case, it's referring to the 4.4.2 (KitKat) update (firmware) to our 720T devices. If you've updated a 720, you'd have NAE. I'm still running 4.3 on a 720T, so I'm on MK5. In some cases (context sensitive), it will refer to your modem/recovery version.

Go to Settings / More / About device - and you'll see your versions (scroll down to make sure you see everything).

Yup and it will resurrect again in few, ate least that's what it did for me. Report how it goes since you are staying on 4.3 because I'm not liking KK. I got to NAF mainly because of the OTA notification and since I was on 720 ROM the carrier was trying to push NAE OTA which if selected by mistake would've messed up the 720T.
