VM is a subsidiary of Sprint. I've been running Sprint roms on my VM GS3 since I got it. If you dial ##72786# on your dialer it will re-activate the phone for you to get your data working. This is the first I've heard of the WiFi issue. Very strange since this is made specifically for Boost/VM.

Edit: Replied kind of late last night. What firmware are you running. If you are running NDC bootloader this rom should work fine. If you are on ND8 bootloader you will need to flash kernel located here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29426212

Same goes if you are running NDC bootloader with Sprint rom.

How do i flash the modem? It is not a tar file or anything. Odin won't see the file for the modem..

Please someone respond asap i can't get any signal from towers due to the modem not working..

Thanks

Flash it in a custom recovery like Philz or TWRP or see if there is a tar file inside the zip.

Modem file not working

Hi there I am having a issue with getting the modem to work. I had to roll back to version 4.3. I am wondering if the issue with the modem not working is because the phone is a Tir-Band SHP-L710 L710TVPU0AOH1. I have read just about all of the post related to the modem issue and did not see any post with a fix for the Tri-Band phone. Has anyone out there run into this problem and got it fixed? By the way the phone was originally on 4.2.2 and in my infinite wisdom I decided try and update to Lollipop 5.0. When I tried to restore my backup the phone just boots and all the apps force closes. I guess that TWRP backup is corrupted. One more thing the NDC "L710VPUCNDC_L710SPTCNDC_L710VPUCNDC_HOME.tar" update fails in Odin for some reason.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Dude, ndc is not for the triband. That causes all kinds of bad things. You need a .tar for the triband. Oh1 or nf4.

The triband never had 4.3 so trying to flash that can hard brick you. If it didn't brick you, thank your lucky stars.

The reason you borked after trying to restore back to KitKat after lollipop is because of the way lollipop encrypts internal storage. You gotta read up before you go flashing.

To restore your KitKat backup, first you have to wipe internal storage (data/media) so make sure your backups are on your external sd card.

After you wipe internal storage your backup should work fine.

Only odin .tars for the triband, oh1(triband version) or nf4. DO NOT odin ndc, nd8, or nj2. Definitely not mk3 or mk5 (4.3) or you risk a hard brick.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rstanford2:
Modem file not working

Thanks for the reply. Well the flash gods must be watching over me because I am working on the mk5 4.3 that was out there. I did do a lot of reading (two days worth) and nothing I read covered tri-band and I was already in a pickle with not being able to boot all the way to the desktop. That's what I get for not asking first when I couldn't find any info on this model phone before trying to upgrade it. Wiping cash, data, system, dalvik, and internal did not work unless I need to restore first then wipe all that stuff. I do at least have an external sdcard installed though so I am good there. Samsung does have the version 4.3 for this phone but Samsung Smart Switch will not let me update since it sees that I am already on 4.3. It working so I guess I will leave it alone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rstanford2:
Modem file not working

Well I was able to find the stock ROM to bring this phone back to stock using Odin. I am going to leave it alone since I now have a Note 4 to play with. Thanks for all you help everyone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] remotehugger:
ok - running Wicked Barebones on my VM S3 - I want to take it back to latest stock build so i can give the phone to my daughter - can you throw me a link to what id need to flash please - thank you !!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
If you're already on NDC, or nj2 baseband, you can just wipe and then flash this ROM. Or if you don't need root, and want pure stock, just Odin flash the NDC .tar from here
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] remotehugger:
could I just flash this rom, do what I need to while I have root, then use something like root switch to turn root off ? my daughter really liked likes to play Pokemon Go -
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Not sure how thorough Niantic made the root check in Pokemon go. You can try. But a Odin flash of the stock .tar is a better bet. If you don't have a pc with odin, flashfire app by chainfire may work.

I have rooted z1 compact jb 4.3. I just want to ask what governors are supported with this stock kernel? I want to know if what governors that will actually work. By the way is there other kernel for jb aside from stock? Its very sad that development here is not active unlike the z1. Considering they have same hardware, it adds to frustration that no one cares much for this device

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Luther Blissett:
Hi everyone, I know there's some telephony authority here who can answer my question... so I flashed this great rom for my A701, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2600954, all is fine except for a minor annoyance: if I enter airplane mode and then put the tablet to sleep, when I go to unlock I'll find my carrier's name correctly displayed under the unlock ring. But when I turn off the tablet, still in airplane mode, after reboot it will say "invalid card", and will do so until I turn airplane mode off. I guess this has to do with the new radio driver libraries (libhuawei-ril.so, used as a workaround in this rom), as if rild is now unable to validate the sim card at boot if the radio is not active. In fact, it says "invalid card" instead of "no service". What gives? Any workaround?

P.s. I'm anal, I know.

UPDATE: so it looks like the solution is right here:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/64059/

Only this is for CM 11, and I have no idea how to get that patch or if it's compatible with 10.2.

Mr. Pawit, could you be so kind as to help push CM 10.2 for the A701 one more step towards perfection?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Aetherworks:
This was the main reason I was thinking about rooting my phone, but despite being tech savy enough to fix all my own issues on my PC, I am intimidated as hell by most of the rooting guides I've found here, so I'm hoping someone might be able to steer me in the right direction without rooting...

Basically, I hate the ugly stock Samsung Calendar app, and I've been using the Google one available through the Play store since I got the phone. Since the update to Kit Kat, though, the Samsung Calendar and the Google calendar seem to reset their settings every time I reboot the phone. It annoys me enough that I want to root it and uninstall the damn Samsung app, or if that proved impractical (for all I know it's not just protected without root but integrated into the OS) flash a custom rom and give a big middle finger to TouchWiz in general. So what I'm asking, in my own long winded way, is there something I'm missing that is making them go back to the way they were when I first updated that I can fix without root, or am I just going to have to hunker down and try to make heads or tails of what exactly odin and safestrap do and why the directions on one thread talks about having files on an external SD card even though I can't seem to find any reference to what files are supposed to be there or when I need to install it?

[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
Somehow, my gallery is showing the same pictures twice. Not all, but many. If you long press, and click details, the picture name and location for the two are identical. I've verify that only one copy is on the SD card. I've tried clearing data for the gallery (via the app menu in settings); I also tried deleting /data/data/com.htc.album (which had some database files, oh, I should note I have root) as well as deleting all .thumbnail directories. I figure there must be somewhere that I'm not looking.

Here's a screenshot:

2014-06-07_00-39-43 by oryan_dunn, on Flickr
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
2 photos

How about first backup all your pictures to your PC so you're sure to have them, disconnect from PC, then try delete ALL of them through Gallery.

Maybe there's a backup on your ext_sd and that's why?

Here's something web-wise that might apply (google):

http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/43311/im-seeing-duplicated-images-and-videos-on-gallery
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
I saw that, but I'm not on JB, and the path given in details for each image is identical. I do have a backup, I'll see what happens when I delete one of the two. As you can see, I've got several thousand pictures, so I'd rather not fix this one at a time, esp since I'm going to be flashing a new ROM soon. I just want to try to figure this out. There has to be a way to reset the gallery and get it to rescan my SD card fresh.
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
delete all

In Gallery Album view then settings, I find option "Select Album" allowing me to tag each and every album to delete all at once.

However my gallery in ICS CM10 may be different than yours.

If your images are synced to the web is there a chance that they show up as the second images?
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
Yeah, it's the stock HTC Gallery. The only option in settings are "Perfect Pics" options. There is no way to delete full albums through the gallery. They are not synced to the web. The details dialog for the images show the exact same details down to the path, filename, everything, for duplicate images.
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
I deleted one of the pictures, and just deleting one, made both disappear from the gallery. Copying back that single file, there is only one shown. So, looks like it is definitely a goof up in the gallery database. Now to just figure out where it is on the filesystem.
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
view

Up top on the left, see if you can switch that view to Album. Then check the settings about Selecting Albums.

Yours looks different from mine--mine has a text drop-down menu where you have an icon of an album.

And I was using the on-screen buttons--Home, Menu, Return, Search, when I said to use the Settings, it was the Menu button on the bottom of my phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
In the screen of my screenshot, menu key doesn't do anything. Up a level, at the album view, I get a settings menu, but the only options are for Perfect Pics.
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
delete all

Can you do it through HTC Sync, or perhaps an after-market file utility--alas the File Manager that comes with CM10 allows me to wildcard search "*.jpg" and shows them all in a list, however at that point didn't allow me to select them all at once to delete all at once, just individually.

However, my images are stored in DCIM/Camera/ and I have those folders on both my int and ext sd.

Your camera settings may give you the option of where to store photos--possibly there's a "both" option, idunno.

The free app Quick Pic that I use gives me the option to select all my photos or albums at once and to delete them at once.

Maybe that is the easiest solution.
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
I really appreciate you trying to help, but I'm almost sure the issue is the database the gallery creates. I've been using ES File Explorer to try to find this database and delete it, to force the gallery to re-parse the entire filesystem. I'm positive that the database has duplicate entries for the same file. Deleting and restoring pictures external to the gallery app has no effect. Deleting the pic from the gallery causes the gallery to remove both entries in it's database, and when I add the picture back, I get only one, as I should (which effectively cleans the db for that one particular file). This database has to exist somewhere, it's just a matter of finding and deleting it.

I submitted a question to HTC support. We'll see what they say.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
Maybe it's not your device.

Maybe it's just syncing to a cloud storage.

I know that my brother's girlfriend's Motorola Xoom was sending pictures directly to her Google+ account and she didn't like that. It took me a while to figure out that's what it was because we'd delete all the pictures and still they'd show up.

Maybe that's what's happening to you.
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
The stock gallery isn't that smart. On the main screen, you can select to show pictures from local storage, Picassa, Flickr, etc. But these show the same path for each duplicate "/mnt/sdcard/ext_sd/DCIM/100MEDIA".
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Why not just try "Quickpic"? Better than stock IMO.

Quickpic
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
I could use a different gallery, but just as an exercise, want to figure this out, since it has to be solvable. I'm going to flash a new ROM soon, so it really doesn't matter, I just want to solve this, since it seems like an easy problem (figure out where the gallery db is and delete it).
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
database

Possible it doesn't keep a database, just scans each time, and is listing the same photo under two headings even though same path?
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
It may not be a database proper, like a SQLite database, but there is definitely some sort of cache that it builds. If I add a huge directory of pictures, open the gallery, it takes a while to parse through it all. Subsequent times opening the gallery, the pictures/thumbnails are available instantly.
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
db

Good test.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Thumbnails

Thumbs are built and kept in a folder under DICM. there is most likely a process that scans the folders for pics and then makes a thumb if it doesn't already have one.

Thus there are actually two copies of pictures on your phone. One is full sized and the other is a thumb size.

You can copy all the pics off your phone to one folder on your computer, then delete all the photos from your phone and then copy them back from your computer.

If you have thousands of pics, I'd back them up anyway. dont want to lose some great pics...
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
Yeah, I've tried deleting the .thumbnail folder to try to get the gallery to rescan. Say I have 1000 pics, and I add a folder of pictures with a 1000 more, the first time I open the gallery, it shows 1000, with a spinning wheel. Eventually, it'll populate with 2000 pictures. And you can tell it's creating thumbnails. If I just delete the thumbnail folder, when I open the gallery, it immediately shows 2000 pictures, but it'll slowly recreate thumbnails. That's why I think there has to be some other cache somewhere, and in my case it has duplicates in it.

As for backup, I have a Synology NAS (with 1TB RAID1 mirror) that all of my pictures are backed up to, and I use the Synology DS Photo+ app to instantly backup pictures as I take them to my NAS. Once a month, my NAS is mirrored to a 1TB USB drive.
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:

Yeah, some of those thumbs did look pretty good.
