Get a few logs of it please? I'll do some test tonight. Im going to try and get the wife's L720 for a few hours and crank up the android machine.

My suspicions are that its something simple like an incorrect string in the build.prop or .xml file some where but we'll see.

Hey can you try the NG2 modem and post log results also? That would help narrow some things down

In fact anyone with a L720 running OK3 or NG2 modem want to post logs. That would be great
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Kjricker:
What app do you prefer logs from?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Ph3ar.:
If your wife's sph-l710 has an L modem , especially an ok3 or Pi2 and you install this rom or vanir on it you will see exactly what's happening . The reason I haven't tried to flash an old modem is because you guys with a Tband and the ok3 are working ok whereas sph-l710 isn't . I wouldn't actually say it's broken because for that brief partial second when the indicator lights up it does have bars of signal . It pulses on and off from the on . I can log stuff tomorrow but tonight we have some meetings to attend . I hope you can flash hers and see it . Thanks

edit : I did just flash the NG2 modem but it's exactly the same behavior . No difference so it probably doesn't matter what modem she has .. thanks

Im also a Sprint L720 user and have tried various Roms, modems, and any other "fix" I could find but nothing seems to work....

I came across this older github CM patch that might explain the problem... sonething about it bouncing between GSM and CDMA.... but i dont know if it was ever applied or in use ????

I'll dig into the code and see what I can find. Hopefully tonight. I'd like to see this ROM succeed
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Ph3ar.:
I don't know either but this device works like a champ on MM so it has to be something since nougat in the way things are setup is all I can figure .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Ph3ar.:
I'm certain it's upstream with Lineage since other N roms for this device exhibit the same exact behavior .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] manfromgta:
This patch is promising but also not merged. As noted in patchset 7:

Patch Set 7:

What happens if a device declares

telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=1

when they are using gsm? This is the case on kiwi (could be my

bad or vendor's bad) and op3 at the very least (can't blame me on

that one).

>

Reading the code it looks like this will cause these phones to

think that they are on cdma but I haven't tested it myself either.

A lot of qcom devices do that because qcom ships common device

trees with that in there and OEMs neglect to remove it. It's

probably the best property to use, but we're gonna have to all

remove that property on non-CDMA devices

We should be removing that property on non-CDMA devices. It is (as has been said) a leftover from upstream Qualcomm.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Ph3ar.:
Don't we need this device to declare cdma though since it is cdma and not gsm ? Since the Tri-band is working do those use gsm at all ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] EatStatic2525:
Exact same problem manifests on OK3 and 720T.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Mavrikmeercat:
I made a script.sh that edits build.prop to add the correct strings for CDMA.

telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=1

ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Sprint

ro.telephony.default_network=8

ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=310120 <--- points to /system/etc/apn.xml with numeric tag of 310120

also points gsm operation if it exist in build.prop to same apn.xml by:

gsm.sim.operator.iso-country=US

gsm.operator.numeric=310120

gsm.operator.alpha=Sprint

.zip replaces /system/etc/apn.xml with edited apn.xml (by: MVNOSlayer) for Sprint only apns instead of the non-working apn.xml that is compiled with CM/Lineage

.zip replaces /data/eri.xml with edited eri.xml to display Sprint in quick settings and notification.

Anybody want to test?

must be on sprint network with SPH-L720

not

Boost, virgin, freedom, or ring+

in recovery,

leave your /data alone

wipe /system

wipe /cache

wipe /dalvik art-cache

install OctOS-N.zip

install gapps

install Sprint_CDMA-APN_L720.zip

reboot to system

if they work then ill make one for every mvno but we must get sprint first
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] ewilley2008:

Just Finished flashing... Just sits at the Boot Animation
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] strive53:
Mine booted..it took awhile but the same problem with signal is still there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Mavrikmeercat:
Thanks guys. Would you try clean flashing

Wipe /data

Wipe /system

Wipe /cache

Then flash Oct

Gapps

Then my zip
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] ewilley2008:
Just finished trying that.... did a full wipe and it did finally boot after awhile and same cell signal bouncing on and off.

I'm on the newest PL1 baseband if that makes any difference
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] strive53:
Thats how I flashed it. Clean install in the order you said. Appreciate you looking into to this for us.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Mavrikmeercat:
It shouldn't

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Mavrikmeercat:
Any of you guys running stock rooted sprint ok3 or later?

I need a copy of /system/etc/apn.xml and a copy of /system/build.prop

Mine is slightly different because I'm on boost. Need a sprint copy

How to use GSM networks on the L720

If your using a SPH-l720 and want the use GSM networks with this rom (T-Mobile, AT&T, FreedomPop, etc.), you just have to flash the "jfltexx" version of this rom. By default it won't let you flash it because your device is a jfltespr, in order to flash it, you have to edit the updater script to trick it into thinking you have the right device.

To do this, download the "jfltexx" version, then extract a file called "updater-script" from "\META-INF\com\google\android", open the file using notepad, then paste this

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "jfltespr" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "jfltespr" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "jflte" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "jflte" ||

Over this

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "jfltexx" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "jfltexx" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "i9505" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "i9505" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9505" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9505" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "jgedlte" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "jgedlte" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "i9505g" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "i9505g" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9505G" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9505G" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "jflte" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "jflte" ||

Now put the updater-script file back in the zip, replacing the existing one, now you can flash it and have GSM working with data on your L720.

If you want I can attach the file already edited and ready to go into the zip.

I am running stock rooted OK3 with Ting on Sprint. Would that be of any use?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] zilla1000:
Thanks for the info. Following the instruction to create and install the .zip using jfltexx on L720, using Freedompop International GSM SIM. Booted without problem, however, it did not detect the SIM card; the SIM card does work on Huawei GSM phone. Any suggestion ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Zen00:
So I tried using the 7.1.1 ROM, updating from 6.0.1. I had the same problem with no data connection, so I tried all the different weeklies you have available, they all had the same issue. So I decided to return to 6.0.1, now however, the sound doesn't work on my device. I've tried multiple wipes, even restoring to a stock ROM to see if that would help, but it doesn't. Additionally all sound applications run extremely laggy whenever I open them, eventually crashing. Any idea why this is happening?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] sonic0504:
This only works on the Samsung Galaxy S4 L720 (Don't know about the L720T) that's unlocked for domestic carriers.

If it's not unlocked you can follow this guide to unlock it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] petejones71:
Thanks for that. I do get cell service with this method, but I don't get data. L720 on RingPlus using the Buzbee APN fix.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] sonic0504:
I got data by manually changing the APN settings without flashing any fixes.

I've tried everything I can to the extent of my knowledge on CDMA. I can't get a stable data connection on the l720.

Really I can't find anything in the OctOs n source that looks wrong. It looks to me like its something upstream lineage for 7.0 that is the problem like others have suspected but I really have no concrete proof of what is causing this. I only have a few speculations.

Sph-l720t

Ok3 baseband.

Can't send texts. Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Ph3ar.:
It's almost like this rom is for Triband and the L720 is the one needing the refresher version , In marshmallow the rom was for l720 and The T model had the special needs . I say this because t-model works .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Mavrikmeercat:
No, in testing the l720t I've found that it does have in and out data issues. It's just not as bad as the l720. There are issues in both. Its not anything to do with octos itself. The problem lies in the lineage code or aosp release.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Ph3ar.:
Ok , I was saying that from the few post where the Triband users seemed to be having success . When you reported it was good enough for a daily driver and the only issue was with BlueTooth I just assumed the T was good . Your right about it not being octos because Vanir does the same thing . If Lineage doesn't support the S4 then it might not get fixed .

Problem after flash with recovery

I can't Access to twrp recovery, it stucks in a black screen till I pull the battery, what can I do?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Ph3ar.:
I assume your pressing up volume/home and the power key at the same time until the samsung logo comes up, right ? Or is the samsung logo even coming up ? If it's not , are you able to get the phone into download mode by pressing volume down/home/power key all at the same time ? Try that and let us know . If you can at least get into download mode then you should be able to recover the device .

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] kilroo:
Tried dirty flashing over the latest OctOs-M release. It loaded up for me...once. I think I had the same data connection issue that everyone else is reporting, plus the next time I rebooted it got to the screen with the four circles tossing a ball around and just sat there until I gave up (I'm guessing that was probably the "you can't dirty flash from M to N, stupid" bit, or maybe I did something else screwy). Based on what I saw, though, I'm really looking forward to being able to use this. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] elbiatcho1:
I've tried the remove sim "trick" that I've read on other threads.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] canodroid15:
OK folks, here's the deal. A lot of devs are & have been working on jfltespr trying to figure out the data issue. From lineage to DHO over at vanir/commotio to us at OctOS & I'm sure peeps in between. For whatever reason, the triband seems to work fine for most carriers. We know that it is an upstream issue in lineage. We know its being worked on. In the meantime, we will continue support for the device. Just know that unless you have the triband its likely not going to work. If you do have the original L720 (NOT the L720T) & you have fully working LTE then you are among the lucky I guess tho in testing I haven't seen the original L720 work & certain L720T models aren't working like the Boost branded model. We will make a note in the OP & continue to put out weekly builds. Once & when the issue is fixed we will all know I'm sure. Until then please use these builds as beta testing & if you get a build with fully working cellular data on an original L720 model please let us know. We have testers testing diligently 2 to 3 times a week. If we get it we will update this post! Thanks for your support & understanding!

? Team OctOS ?

lots of reading about gsm and cdma settings and trial and error...

I dont even know why it works on a cdma device... and it still doesn't solve it completely I think... because for me I cant go into the Cell Settings menu, if i do it closes and the cell connection disappears saying no sim then i gotta cycle airplane mode to get it back

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Mavrikmeercat:
I did try those too in testing but I had the same issues as you where if the signal dropped out or I changed from WiFi to lte it wouldn't connect back and I had to toggle airplane mode to get it back. Sometimes it wouldn't after airplane mode and I had to reboot completely to fix the connection.

Cellular Network settings crashing after build.prop mod

Just thought I would give this a try. After adding the Gsm line, I DID NOT comment out the Cdma line, and now, I can go into Cellular Network settings, and access all the sub-settings, including APNs, until I try Carrier Settings, then the settings app crashes and I lose mobile. Turning on Airplane Mode for 15 sec then turning back off restores mobile/LTE. On past ROMs, Carrier Settings usually says "No carrier settings available" (or something to that effect) for me on Sprint.

Also have been testing switching wifi on and off, and LTE consistently takes over when wifi is turned off.

Hope this helps some with the debugging. :) Thanks again, ewilley!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Ph3ar.:
Carrier settings has been broken on every rom I know of and a lot of devices for a long time . It's not anything new and certainly not for this device alone .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] ewilley2008:
Good catch .... leaving in the cdma line fixes the cellular network settings, that's one edit I don't think I tried.

And like you i haven't had any problem switching wifi on/off since I added the GSM edit

Could anyone please explain how to update the ROM via OTA and don't loose Google Play services? I saw a notification about new update available, tapped it, but nothing happened. So, I downloaded the new rom via team OctOS website and did install via TWRP, unfortunately, after rebooting Google Play services were vanished (everything else was OK). So, I have to do a hard reset and install ROM and Gapps from a scratch. I don't have the issue with other ROMs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] manfromgta:
Follow the instructions posted in the OP for flashing. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] manfromgta:
Thanks guys for all the feedback for signal. We are still working on it. It's close but not quite there yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] godjango:
Do you mean the instructions?

Basic Instructions:

Download ROM .zip file and MD5 file, and grab your favorite Open Gapps package

Reboot to Recovery (Note: Use Reboot to Recovery from Power Menu, Hardware-based boot to recovery, or adb reboot recovery - ROM Manager or similar software is NOT supported)

--- TWRP is the ONLY recovery Team OctOs uses - We do not support flashing on CWM ---

Factory Reset from TWRP

Flash ROM and GApps .ZIP files

Reboot

Sorry, if I don't get it, but do I need to do all that (factory reset, ROM, gapps) every time to install new update for the ROM? Can I simply install update without loosing my data? I know I can do a backup via TWRP, but it's so frustrating to do it for every new update. On other ROMs, including LineageOS, I can simply install new update without any wipes. Thanks for your help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Ph3ar.:
You can try flashing gapps again . Wipe cache , dalvik cache , flash gapps . Might get you gapps back without having to wipe data , give it a shot .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] godjango:
The thing is sometimes it works, but often I have to setup account again, install new apps, re-enter all logins/passwords, etc.. BTW, how do you guys update the ROM? I didn't have issues with other ROMs, but this is the only actual and relatively stable ROM on Android 7.1.1 for SPH-L720. Thanks for your help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] kilroo:
I am also a Ting mergee from Ringplus, and I find I still need to use the Ringplus APN settings from MVNOSlayer V4...the Ting settings don't work. You might try that.

I suspect that Ting somehow took over the APNs themselves as part of the deal to try to avoid requiring all the migrated users to do Profile/PRL updates, but that's just speculation.

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 AM ----------

I can usually dirty flash:

Back up (of course)

Flash the latest weekly

Flash gapps

Flash MVNO fix (just in case, really)

Wipe cache/dalvik

And go

...That's all one trip to Recovery. That actually even worked for me going from OctOS M to N (on the second try...not sure what I did wrong the first time). I never assume a dirty flash is going to work, though, even on the same version.

I haven't tried the OTA yet because I switched over this week. :silly:
