[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] StifflerServices:
I know this probably belongs in the general thread of Q&A but do to me wanting to upgrade my Sprint S4 to a TW based "Lollipop rom" ect. but before i can or want to, Can someone explain to me what is the deal with bootloaders not being or being locked on Sprint vs Verizon phones. I have both V and S s4's and when i go to update my verizon i have to follow the MDK install instructions yet on Sprint there is only "make sure your running or on "This specific OS" to install. Main reason i ask is if for some reason I want to restore back to MF9 on Sprint, Can i do so without any issues as with Verizon, if I were to upgrade to a stock OS past MDK do to most 6.0 you need to upgrade to latest stock OS to install the rom. I have not been able to unlock the sim for domestic on my Sprint yet and would like to do so and I want to have that option when i have time, I just really need the updates that come with newer software as it is my only form of wifi (hotspot) at home, plus i want to be able to record calls that MF9 stock does not have. I hope this makes since to someone. Basicly i want to be able to revert back to MF9 if i need to without issues if I need to upgrade to a OS that locked us out from downgrading like verizon has done. I know it might be ilgal but i would also like to swap my verizon s4 to sprint as it has more devs producing latest roms (like on Note 5 and S7) but also would love to use the Verizon as a second line to my sprint so i can leave the sprint phone at home for wifi unlimited data for the family. Thanks in advance and PM me for info that may not be possible here. Thanks for your help.

My WiFi not working ...my mobile Samsung s4 i9500 L720 waiting for good reply..........
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bilgerryan:
i9500 and L720 are two different models. You're wifi probably isn't working because you're not on the right modem. You need to be on the OK3 modem.

Or if you're saying you installed that rom and now you don't have wifi, it's because it's not for your phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Aman gee:
Thanks for reply.......which ROM you post @ 1st page its works very well at my system with out any error......but when I install this ROM....http://xdaforums.com/gala...gwoQoa5e1wmC7Q.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bilgerryan:
That rom is not for our phone, it will never work for you. There is a Note 5 Port in the Android Development section of this forum though. Stick to ROMs for the Sprint S4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] someandroidguy:
Good so far, seems as if I have a few quirks not really sure if this is on my end. I flashed the OK3 rom and a old NG2 modem so I can keep my GSM Unlock. This does work, only problem I noticed with this rom is that you have to remove com.samsung.android.securitylogagent if you don't want that annoying message that says unauthorized action restart to fix or something like that. If you get that message uninstall the log agent.

modem

so user dsjxxxxx is saying he used 'AP' in Odin to flash the modem.... but shouldn't we be using PHONE/CP?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] kdraw44:
He is using a newer version of odin, probably 3.09. They changed the button labels but the function is the same. Go to http://www.samsungodindownload.com/odin-tutorial/ and check it out.

I see they still need to update their illustrations to the new version also.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jskull:
Got through the installation, but noticing some issues: can't get into google account settings without crash (see attached). Problem may have started after updating google play services, but cannot be sure. Will likely try wiping and installing again. Should I be installing the ROM and kernel back to back? Or reboot then kernel? thanks

Edit: uninstalling updates for Google Play services fixes the crash, but apps like Gmail won't run without the update.

Edit: finding out this may just be a Google/Samsung bug unrelated to the ROM. Will try installing xposed framework now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bilgerryan:
Google account crashes are because of Google Play Services and is a known issue across many devices. Uninstall updates, set up your accounts and reinstall updates.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jskull:
yes, I figured out you can add accounts normally and then adjust sync options by accessing settings through the stock gallery app, which saves the effort of constantly uninstalling/reinstalling play services. :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Bunjman:
No Luck

I installed the Rom as directed. I then installed the kernel as directed by dsjxxxxx in this thread and then the modem .md5 using Odin3.10 as directed. Everything appeared to install successfully but alas No WiFi. Phone/Data works better (reception) than ever.

I have since wiped and reformatted, rebooted everything and reinstalled using these and slightly different methods with no luck.

SPH-L720
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bilgerryan:
The modem is what didn't take. Reinstall with Odin, but make sure Auto Reboot is off. Also pull battery before going into Download Mode, it helps sometimes.

[MENTION=4310299]bilgerryan[/MENTION] , or anyone who could help out , I have my spirnt s4 on octos mm 6.0.1 (CM13 build) and usuomg straight talk instead of sprint. I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME, get my data working correctly. Everything else is PERFECT. But my LTE IS NOT WORKING. APN SETTINGS IS GONE. I would like to flash back to this ROM.

1) is flashing back to 5.0.1 from 6.0.1 possible?

2) can I flash back to another firmware? (If so what are my options)

3) can I flash another modem? (If so what are my options)

4) I'm pretty sure my bootloader is unlocked, since I've successfully installed CWM, then I installed TWRP. Also flashed CM13 and then the Octos MM ROM. Both have lost the option to edit APN for some reason.

I HAVE tried texting "APN" to 611611. But it says service is unavailable. I saw a post saying "boost/sprint universal SPARK" But I remember seeing something saying not to.

Please I need some help. I am only getting 1 bar (2 bars MAX) Of 3g when I usually get 4g Here at my house.

Is it as simple as just flashing another modem ? Or will I have to do some work on it? I'm so lost.

Thank you to anyone willing to help

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] imcarloslol:
hey could you link the thread you went to ? . ive seen something similar but it was different than wht you said, but from what i saw it was on a "newer" LTE version called spark or soemthing that the s wasnt capable of using.

youre good , im just glad someone actually replid to me. i seem to be invisible on forums for some reason.

so you have no idea if it should work on sprint? if i were to go ahead and try to flash it i should just back up and if something goes wrong, restore right?

i have the stock deodexed ok3 rom. i was thinking i could flash back to it, and backup the APNs but when i downloaded the app , it said its not supported in andorid 4.0+, any ideas? thans again
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mattzeller:
Yes, absolutely make a backup in your recovery just in case, makes thing much quicker to recover from disaster.

I just flashed OctOS MM, booted the ROM, told me no Sim present, booted to recovery and flashed the MVNO Slayer (it does have a Sprint selection) booted the phone, it again told me no Sim is inserted and to reboot, I rebooted and when it came back up I had LTE.

I had the exact same problem.

for linux/heimdall users, attach the phone in heimdall and read its pit. save it then open in heimdall. get this op's modem file, rename the file to a tar so you can extract the two files. modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin.

put the modem.bin in the MDM section and NON-HLOS.bin in APNHLOS

flash, it will reboot cause you got the box checked, and you are golden.

Everything seems to be working great in the rom including xposed except for switching selinux to permissive as I wanted to install Viper audio

Ive tried the mode changer apps and used terminal commands but it stays at enforcing. Did I need to flash a different kernel or is there another trick to change it to permissive mode?

After restart supersu in the samsung logo takes 10 or 15 min. wipe everything again and reinstall rom, without kernel, just put wifi and went to update supersu resulting in the same problem, it takes 10 or 15 minutes at the start and says optimizing android every time.

You need to wipe cache and dalvik cache in recovery after removing system apps. It will do that one more time and then it should stop.

Hey everyone. I'm having problems on my Moto X pure edition with Gmail. Running stock marshmallow no root. My messages are not coming through until either the phone gets plugged in or I reboot or I open the Gmail app and pull to refresh. If I check under settings, accounts and google, the Gmail sync is constantly syncing, with the two little arrows next to it. Anyone else having issues? Seems to be happening since the mm update sporadically, but it's getting worse recently. I'd like to know when I have an email!
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] countryfolk07:
It might be because of doze. You may have to go into the apps battery settings and disable the battery saving profile for it. Not sure what the technical term for this is, but it's a marshmallow feature.

AOSP Issue Tracker

Most of these reports are from Nexus users (of course). However there are several reports from other devices such as our moto X Pure phones.

I have almost the exact problem. It is not Doze causing the issue. To be fair, no one has a clear solution.

A reboot often clears my notifications up for a few days before it starts again.

i've been having the same exact issue lately with my moto x pure. i've tried cache wiping, app data clearing and everything only thing i havent tried yet was a factory reset. Temp i've installed an app called Synker which has a tasker plugin for me to have my email resync every 25 mins. Hopefully google fixes this glitch asap. even older versions of gmail arent working tried uninstalling updates to the app still nada.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason2678:
I've run into this before on an older device. That was on lollipop so I'm pretty sure doze optimizations interfering with sync aren't the issue. Clearing app data, and uninstall/reinstall (gmail wasn't a system app on that phone) couldn't fix it. I'm not sure what the trigger was, but whenever this happened a clean flash seemed like the only way to fix it so a factory reset ought to do it too. It always seemed like a problem with sync. Removing your google account and then adding it back might have a chance to refresh gmail sync and get it to behave again; I've never tried that - just occurred to me now.

I've since switched to Inbox for gmail and I haven't seen this issue affect it. They're similar, but I prefer the Inbox UI over the gmail app too.

Hello, I am new to this site and the whole BA experience. I got my sx66 about a week ago and decided to upgrade the ROM to 1.33.51. Yes, from what I've gathered from reading it is also a little out of date, but I was trying to start out small. Well, at some point things went terribly wrong, everything seemed to be well, when all of a sudden my screen went blank and I was left with a screen that just says serial at the top and v 2.07 at the bottom. I have left the battery off for about 20 hours now, waitting on the backup battery to die(from what I understand my phone may be stuck in bootloader mode and this should fix it) Well, I just got home from work and the phone still says the same thing if I put the battery on. Any help or suggestion would be appreciated or even just a "Hey, your phones gone" would be as well, just curious to know what to do. Thanks!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] mr_ding:
Yes, you're in bootloader mode. It's now ready for upgrade.

If you put it in cradle, it will change from 'Serial' to 'USB', run the upgrade and do the (Record,Camera) reset with 'no,yes,yes' and press 'Mail' button.

Most of these are in the Wiki.
