He does seem to be getting closer, good job rixter, I'd rather show my appreciation with a capacity to lend a hand but I have none than I am aware of, so thanks go to you man, it would be nice to have a few more capable people to take some of the load, I think hexacode is wearing himself out on this one also, I think he's putting a lot of time and work into a few aspects so thanks go to him, [MENTION=3508760]heXacode[/MENTION] don't push yourself too hard, you gotta focus on yourself and your own battle to man, take it easy on yourself, you deserve to be a little at ease these days.

Its a hobby for me and helps me take my mind off that stuff and I also enjoy android projects. I also received great news that I'm winning the battle against cancer so far. Great Christmas present. Thank you for your kind words and being so considerate of others.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
No problem bro, glad to hear the good news, hopefully there's more to come, as long as the work you are doing on this is helping you that's good, just don't overdo it, even mentally wearing yourself down can make you vulnerable in your battle, mentally is where most of the battle is fought by you yourself.

No rush, enjoy yourself, we are functional for now so pace yourself and piece it together a little at the time, our own roms will be nice but theres no reason for just a couple of guys to do all that work all at one time, that's too big of a load, I wish I had the knowledge to take some of the load off of you guys but I wouldn't even know where to start. Kick back and relax and don't burn yourself out.

I now have stock messaging sending and receiving MMS on CM12... It was so easy I feel stupid for not doing it earlier
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
Enlighten me please sir?? we would love to know I'm sure we'll all feel stupid! Lol!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
Of course you'll need a SIM card inserted, go to your APN setting and enter the following values

Name - Verizon

APN - internet

MMSC - http://MMS.vtext.com/servlets/mms

MMS Port - 80

MCC - 310

MNC - 012

Authentication type - not set

APN type - internet + mms

Click save and restart

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
I tried it on CM11 but couldn't get apn's to stick. This is the first time I've tried with CM12 tho. I should've tried it the first time it was installed just to test the simple things first

It has been working on 3rd party apps, but now I have stock messaging working. I'm flashing another phone right now.

The new phone started on the H2, I've used Odin to flash the H1, rooted with cydia, installed Mastamoons CM12 and lp gapps. I'm now waiting for it to boot so I can insert the apns and test it on this one. I've also inserted a brand new Verizon 4g lte sim card

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
It's because they deunified the d2lte branch, the tree isn't even being updated to build with anymore so all CM12 & future builds are back to device specific builds d2vzw, d2spr,d2bst,etc. The d2att & d2tmo have been merged into one now d2gsm, but all the others are separate again

How do I go about getting a verizon 4g SIM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
Go to your local Verizon store. They charge $50 for a brand new one. I inserted it and was able to use CM12, but I had to dial *228 option 1 to get the apns onto the card. After they were on the card I made the changes and I now have what use to be an H2 phone working with everything but the stick camera

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ScottDB:
Following are my results of trying five various ROMs on a StraightTalk SCH-968C with the H1 baseband. I DO NOT have a SIM card available, nor do I have a friend or family member that I can borrow one from, nor do I intend to buy a new/used SIM card. I'm using CWM 6.0.4.5, which works great on this phone. I need to have both MMS messaging AND the camera working, because I use both of those apps, and that's what we seem to be having issues with. MMS was tested sending and receiving with another StraightTalk CDMA phone (a Motorola Moto something...) Disclaimer: If you try to duplicate my efforts and end up bricking or otherwise screw up your phone, I will not be held liable. Your results may vary...

I first tried CyanogenMod 10.2.1 (cm-10.2.1-d2vzw). Unknown network, Mobile network type: CDMA-1xRTT, in service, Disconnected from mobile network, unknown phone number, unknown MIN. That's all I checked before shutting down the phone. Two days later, I boot up and there's no cell service at all. Wiped it off the phone. This is the only ROM of the five ROMs in which after I restored the stock ROM from backup, I still had no cell service. I had to go into 'Settings', 'Back up and reset', and do a 'Factory data reset'. When the phone rebooted and the reset finished, the cell service was restored.

I also tried CyanogenMod 10.1.3 (cm-10.1.3-d2vzw). After install, I had cell service, but "no data". The stock messaging app didn't work with MMS. Chomp SMS - kinda... Some MMS messages were sent/received after a delay of 10 minutes, some were sent/received after a re-boot or a force-stop of the stock messaging app. Neither the stock camera app nor Open Camera worked. (Can't connect to the camera.) Three strikes - this ROM is history.

I then tried AOKP (aokp_d2vzw_jb-mr2_milestone-1). Get this: the stock messaging app worked with MMS messages! Once again, neither the stock camera app nor Open Camera worked. (Can't connect to the camera.) The camera wouldn't work, so off it goes into the bit-bucket...

The I tried OmniROM 4.4.3 - (omni-4.4.3-20140620-d2lte). The stock messaging app wouldn't work with MMS, but Chomp SMS did. And as before, neither the stock camera app nor Open Camera worked. (Can't connect to the camera.) This ROM goes into the bit-bucket too.

Last, but not least, I installed SlimKat (Slim-d2lte-4.4.4). The stock messaging app didn't do MMS, but Chomp SMS did. And guess what?! - the stock camera worked great! I was going to keep using this ROM, until a couple of days later when I was trying to install some root-required apps, the ROM didn't recognize that my phone had been rooted. Root Check didn't even recognize that the phone had been rooted! So I once again had to wipe and restore my stock-ROM backup.

In summary, I can't get any of the major ROMs to reliably work with the H1 version of the SCH-968C. When a ROM is released that is specifically for this phone and all features will work AND it doesn't require a SIM card, I'll gladly try it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
I've tried all of those ROMs at one point and have never had an issue with the camera until CM12. MMS has also worked for me on all of them for me. I didn't have any MMS issues until the builds were unified. I'm now on the latest unofficial CM12 with working stock MMS and camera working via open camera
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] matt_man:
Got a brand new Verizon sim from eBay for 6 bucks used over the air programming and am now able to select and edit APN. Default messenger now works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Have you tried different ROMs to see if you get the same results, I think that its going to vary from ROM to ROM, it would be nice if users that have a new(not used) Verizon SIM and have done the initial programming of the card on their device would post their results here then some things could be narrowed down to give the ones trying to figure out how to get around this issue a better idea of what they have to do and where they need to be looking to resolve this issue on future builds.

Do diffrent sims make a difference?

I'm an old assembly language programmer and microprocessor programer. I've read this and the original thread from beginning to end.

My interest in this thread is that my wife has the H1 SCH-S968C and I would love to upgrade it for her. It's stuck at 4.1.2.

I'm just spit-balling here but 4lte is not everywhere. When the 4g signal is not available, the 4g chipset must have 3g built into it. I would think a single device with all capabilities would be easier to manage than having a 4lte sim fall back to depending on 3g CDMA. The lte mods must have CDMA also built into it for phones that can upgrade with just a sim, at least at this point in time. This makes me wonder if just the presence of the chip, in the slot, makes these mods semi work. As if a switch that says 'Yes I'm present' but that as far as it's use goes in our phones. Let me know what you think. I'm on par with you all now and am just starting to research. Great work all of you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Does it have to be a new Verizon SIM when its OTA programmed? I have three brand new unused ST SIMs from a BYOP pack, would OTA programming one of those work? Would it program the correct APNs the way the Verizon does?

---------- Post added 6th January 2015 at 12:16 AM ---------- Previous post was 5th January 2015 at 11:47 PM ----------

It seems from what we have tried that the 3g capability is there in the lte ROMs but our problem is that when the device goes to find its APNs when on 3g data it isn't looking in the right place. The ROM has 3g built in and our devices have the correct APNs stored in system but the ROM does not look there. I'm sure that the 4g devices that the ROMs are built for have 3g built in, but it seems like on the 4g devices that the 3g is in a different place on those devices than it is on ours and has no problem locating them on their native device but when it looks in the coordinating location on our device it doesn't find them. I wonder if the APNs that are stored on our devices can just be placed in the same location on our device as it is on the 4g device instead of rebuilding the ROM. In other words on the 4g device, when there is no lte available in the area the device has to operate in 3g but to do so it has to be manually switched. The earlier builds of the ROMs had this switch function but they don't now so how do the 4g devices switch to 3g on the new builds? If there is no switch function in the new ROMs then it probably works on an automated switch that is preset to look in the right place or the ROMs were changed to reference the SIM at all times for APNs when needed instead of its system(this would explain why the manual switch is not built in anymore and would also explain why our devices have to have the SIM, because no matter what, the ROM looks at the SIM for APNs).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
I'm not sure if it has to be Verizon or not. Do you know which ST sim cards you have? They're not all the same. I have tried the T-Mobile and AT&T cards from ST BYOP and neither of them worked. Both of them locked my phone because they weren't compatible since they are GSM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Damn, that's the ones I have
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
Do like matt_man did and check eBay... $6 is cheap enough and he's able to run this awesome ROM now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Yeah, I'm going to. Just impatient, stock is killing me, I have several new ROMs downloaded and ready to try, I haven't flashed them yet because I'm kinda anal about having everything work as it is supposed to, I know we have workarounds but that's not enough for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
There are several ROMs that have everything working, maybe not kitkat or lollipop, but there are many other options

Great Artical on CDMA

This read is a very good read. I'm just now trying to digest it along with the difference between CDMA vs sim and CDMA with 4G lte sim capable vs. 4G lte sim phones. I'm also learning how to post. Hope this works and I don't get in trouble. You net to fill in the dots and missing forward slashs

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Yeah I'm just starting to learn about CDMA phones using SIMs to regulate 4g data. I know that in the past that SIMs were only GSM not CDMA and that phones and carriers were either CDMA or GSM, not both but now its different, phones can be switched between CDMA or GSM networks.

[MENTION=589932]Rixter[/MENTION], I've got a guy looking for a lollipop ROM for his t mobile S3, I asked mastamoon if his CM12 would work for him, he said it was an ununified d2vzw ROM but he also said he thought it would flash but the user would have to use the GSM RIL blobs from the CM12 thread, how is that done, you're the first one I thought of to ask for advice on it, is it complicated?

The rib-blobs are a flashable zip. You'll need to download the ROM, gapps, and rib-blob and flash consecutively

Hey man there's a few LP ROMs for the d2tmo in the tmo s3 thread, also the d2att ROMs will run on the d2tmo with no problem d2att has the most ROMs available d2tmo is GSM, d2tmo & d2att are the same phones different carriers all he has to do is change the lines in the updater script from d2att to d2tmo. I've done it many many times b4 & it works fine, after he boots into the ROM it will report as a SGH-i747, he can change it with a build prop editor. A lot of d2tmo users do this all the time because there aren't many LP builds for d2tmo. Its pretty simple and its won't mess up his phone, if he needs detailed instructions let me know. I'd stick with GSM ROMs if I were him, but that's just my opinion
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cresch07:
So does that mean I shouldn't use anything other than d2att or a unified rom? You said the blob is a flashable zip, where do I find it? Is it included generally when I download the ROM?

I got my Verizon sim card today. Put it in, did the *228 thing, followed Kenny's instructions, but it's still not saving APNs. I tried editing one of the APNs that was on it, and when I pressed save, it deleted it. Maybe cause I'm on CM11 still? And when I tried sending an MMS, it kept switching to the phone app and dialing *22899, which is the ST phone programming number. Weird.

This guy is having the same issue on CM12.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] giveerapearlnecklace:
Just wondering I've read this thread front to back but I did not see mention of it did you guys ever get cm12 to stop asking for a sim? I managed to last night with a heavily edited build.props and swaping out every .rill file I could find. Phone will no longer ask for a sim card but data was still not operational I would have liked to have dialed *22890 but the dialer for yhis rom won't even attempt to work without a sim, still workin on that and I have some other ideas but I feel like I'm getting somewhat close to sim free roms once I can nail down excatly what files need to be swaped/edited the one I want badly is rild.libargs the stock rom bprop refernces it @ -d/dev/smd0 but there is no such directory...... or at least I can't find it yet.

I'm also lucky enough to have 2 sch-s968c phones so I've been keeping one stock for comparison especially good so you wont set a wrong permission phone bootloops if you do easily and every time u copy a file all the permissions change

I'm sure this has probly allready been done but lemme know if I'm on to something here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
They might get you quicker if you give them a mention by attaching @ to their names like this [MENTION=6321832]giveerapearlnecklace[/MENTION]. I'm curious, why is your dialer not sorking without the SIM, it should be working without the SIM, the SIM was only to get data working
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] giveerapearlnecklace:
I think its just the ROM the dialer would not work without sim before I modified anything doin some last min tinkering now can confirm only files that need to becswaped to disable sim are rild and sec-rild I gtg for now I have work early but ill mess around some more later

Trying to get some last min cat logs with sim disabled really interesting stuff but I have to flash back to stock before bed I need my phone to work lol

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Scott:
AS the name implies this is a stock rooted Android 5.0.1 Lollipop ROM!

The one we have been waiting for!

Features

100% Stock

Rooted

Busybox

No other edits

FSTRIM on install

Powered by SuperSU

Notes:

Should update bootloader. It is attached as a ZIP file but is not flashable! You need to fastboot flash it. For those in windows I have batch file in there along with ADB and fastboot.

First boot is a loooooooooooong time! About 5 to 7 minutes!

You must be on TWRP 2.8.1.0+ for this ROM to Flash properly!

Troubleshooting

If you get no status bar reboot to recovery and clear all cache. If that doesnt work try flashing the factory image then flash TWRP again and then this ROM.

Getting Symlinks failed during install? Make sure /system is unchecked in TWRP mounts

Problems with internal storage? Look at THIS POST for fix by [MENTION=5094871]freakzapster[/MENTION]

Root not working right? Flash newer SuperSU by [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] but play store update should be fine!

Please hit the Thanks button! Its easy to do and you will feel better for doing it!
