[GUIDE] How to fix "Domestic Roaming" on Sprint (and other) Nougat (and other) ROMs

One of the issues with running the latest Nougat ROMs on this device is that they all say "Domestic Roaming" instead of "Sprint" and also display an R instead of 3G, 1x, etc on the signal display. After much research, I've found out it's that the phone doesn't recognize the tower as a Sprint tower and thus assumes you're roaming. The fix for that is in a little file called eri.xml. What I did was take the file from this OP (all credit goes to him) and modify it a little to get it working properly (it only had three of the four needed Roaming Indicators). I've attached my modified version to the OP of this thread, but here are the steps if you want to create your own. Note that this can be done on a PC or on your phone directly. You will need root! (but since you are most likely needing this for a custom ROM, you probably have it).

If you are just using my file directly:

Download the file and copy to phone if not downloading from there.

Copy and paste the eri.xml file to /data using the file manager of your choice (must be able to browse using root).

Change the permissions on the file to 777 (ie to Read Write eXecute for Owner, Group, and Others).

Reboot phone.

If you are going to make adjustments:

Download the file.

Unzip the file and then open eri.xml in a text editor.

Open up this list of Roaming Indicators from this Github eri.xml source

On that site, use your browser's find feature to search for your carrier. For Sprint, there are four of them (0, 1, 99, 123).

In your text editor, edit RoamingIndicator="#" to match your carrier's roaming indicator number and edit EriText="Sprint" to match your carrier's name. Note that you can change the name to whatever you want and it will scroll if it's too long (or so I've read).

Repeat step 5 for all the roaming indicator numbers for your carrier.

If you need to add extra ones, use copy and paste to do so.

Make sure that NumberOfEriEntries="#" matches the number of entries you have when you finish.

Save eri.xml and copy it to your phone if it's not already there.

Copy and paste file to /data using the file manager of your choice (must be able to browse using root).

Change the permissions on the file to 777 (ie to Read Write eXecute for Owner, Group, and Others).

Reboot phone.

At this point, you should see Sprint as your carrier and no more R on the network meter in the status bar.

I almost didn't create a new thread as I didn't do much, but I wanted to keep all the Q&A and troubleshooting in one place and not clutter the other threads. Plus, I wanted to expand upon some of the steps on what you have to do. If you have any questions or need help, please let me know.

Works for me, thanks a ton!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] clarkkentdroid:
Tried this; got "Changing permissions was not successful. Please note that some file systems do not allow permission changes." Please help!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
The only time I see something like that is if the file manager isn't root capable, it doesn't get root permissions somehow, or the phone isn't rooted. What file managing app are you using? I did this successfully using Solid Explorer File Manager, although I'm sure any other one that gets root would do.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] clarkkentdroid:
I used root browser on Resurrection Remix. It has Privacy Guard which asked if I wanted to grant root browser access, and I granted it. Root browser asked me to install busybox, which I did. I moved the file to /data successfully. However, it still didn't gain permission successfully.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
Hmm... I looked and that's the exact ROM I tested it on. You'll find my post on the first page and yours is on the second. I don't think I installed a different su program like SuperSU. Two ideas:

1. Make sure you give Root Browser permanent root access.

2. Try a different file manager. I used Solid Explorer with no issue. If you don't want to buy it, try other free ones first. I think MiExplorer (I think that's its name) is free on XDA and is nice.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] clarkkentdroid:
Thanks for the suggestions. I used solid explorer and it seemed like it worked. Permissions were still 777 after reboot, but I still don't get mobile data. My network says "Sprint" instead of "Domestic Roaming", at least.

Changing roms doesn't help, correct?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
Not getting mobile data is different than what this file does. This just fixes the displaying Domestic Roaming issue - it's just cosmetic.

I had no data issues on that ROM. The One m7 lacks some of Sprint's LTE bands and well it's Sprint, but that's not a ROM issue. Maybe try flashing back to a Sense ROM and updating Profile and PRL and then flash back to RR.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Yankee14:
Your GitHub link to the list of roaming indicators seems to 404.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
Thanks! I've fixed the link to a similar one. The original link was the same file as this one and both only seemed to include Sprint. But, you can find Verizon there as well. As for others, you may need to search to get the right numbers.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] TalyWhackin:
AFter having a similar issue, and switching to Solid Explorer, I was able to change the permissions on the file, however it's still showing up as "Domestic Roaming". File is in /data and shows permissions as "777 -rwxrwxrwx"

Any help or ideas?

Thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
Are you on Sprint? Also, what ROM are you running?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] TalyWhackin:
Yes I'm on Sprint. Just installed Resurrection remix 5.8.2
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
I think I tested on that one and it worked. If you followed the steps completely (restarted?), then I'm not sure why it's still telling you "Domestic Roaming" unless you truly are roaming.

Problem is, my m7 isn't activated anymore, so I can't really verify that nothing's changed with the ROMs since I tested things. Although they shouldn't have since I don't think they've been updated (I'm pretty sure I tested on 5.8.2 or RR).
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] busindree:
Hi everybody, few months ago I bought this phone second hand, and since than, I didn't receive any software update. Now I was waiting Nougat, but I realized reading around, that, with the version I have now I won't get any OTA (probably the previous guy did something) Now my question is, how I can fix it? I have no idea if my phone is brand or not. Can I put a different version on it? i'm new to modding world, so I would really appreciate if somebody could help me with this, step by step. Thanks in advance!
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] Kifivierito:
Hello! The first thing you need to do is enter in "manufacturer mode" so you can see wich OEMINFO (zone of the phone. Could be Europe, China, LA....) you have.

You must dial in your phone * # * # 2 8 4 6 5 7 9 # * # *

· Option 3. Network Information Query and then

· Option 4. Vendor Country Info

There you will see, if your version is C900 as you explain:

Vendor: Your network provider (in my case Vodafone).

Country: All

And if you wanna have a European version (C432) you must see:

Vendor: hw

Country: eu

Once you have that info you could start with the flashing part. I'll try to help you find the wright post so you can perform it yourself without the problems that I found...
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] busindree:
Thanks for your reply! In my case

Vendor: wind

Country: it
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] Kifivierito:
Ok. Now you must search for a Stock ROM thread that's called Stock Roms (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68105813&postcount=159) There you can see that the original stock rom that have your mobile is VIE-L09C113.

The next step it is to decide if you wanna stay with a branded ROM version or if you want to debrand it and change to one that have Nougat like C432 (Europe).

To do the debranding process you need your bootloader code (which Huawei can give you if you google it) or use SRK Tool. With SRK Tool you can debrand it with or without code. Without code I think that changes your IMEI (but im not completely sure about this).

Just search the P9 Plus forum and you will find lot of threads about debranding and updating from C900
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] busindree:
First problem im unable to get the bootloader code, i'm following [YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6VIe2uXyoU[/YOUTUBE] this guide, i log in no problem, but when i click on Unlock boatloader it send me back on the log in page, i tried already hundreds times :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] EngelP:
1. Please, ROM "BLU_D140T_V20_Generic.rar" is for the Dual SIM model "BLU Dash JR TV D140T"

2. Is there any CWM Recovery for this model of BLU JR TV D140T?

3. To Rotate this model, you can only do it with the KingRoot, all use the KingRoot, I want to use the SuperSU, but it seems that this phone or KngRoot does not allow it to be changed by another SuperUser once installed, when I try to change it The KingRoot for the Super SU, kills all the Binaries of the SuperUser KingRoot and does not let me update those of the SuperSU.

I hope you can help clarify the doubts. :confused:

Thank you... :rolleyes:

I received the notification to upgrade to 7.0 this morning and as I was downloading I was notified I did not have enough space. After making space on my phone the notification does no show nor do I get the suggestions in the "System Updates". Whenever I try to update it tells me "Your device's software is up to date." even though it is still running 6.0. What do I do, I've tried a hard reset.

I have an unlocked Moto Z Play, the update already rolled out for me but once tried to download and install I didn't have enough space for it, so it bugged out on me and I'm stuck on 6.

Also, noob question, how do I flash 7.0 onto my moto Z now that I have the right files?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] rile1564:
So if I side load this to update my RETUS to the December patch, I should get the notice for Nougat OTA, correct? I also assume this doesn't unlock my bootloader, nor do I need it unlocked?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] timster01:
I'd imagine you would get the upgrade prompt for Nougat after loading the December patch.

Sideloading an OTA doesn't require an unlocked bootloader and won't unlock the bootloader.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] pineapplefun101:
So a little update, I side loaded the December 1st update OTA onto my Moto Z play and im still having the same deal where it wont upgrade to 7 it still notifies me that "Your device's software is up to date." under System updates. I tried to side load the Nougat OTA but it kept coming across as an error and a fail in installation right around 45% each time, I've tried around 3 times. Any other suggestions???

OK, I was never good at following the bouncing ball and I am starting to confuse myself.

Please advise if I have this correct: Presently I have build build "mpns24.104-49-4". Software Channel "retus", Securtity Patch Nov. 1st 2016.

I now need to sideload "Blur_Version.24.221.12.addison.retail.en.US.zip

MPNS24.104-44-16" to update to the December Security to be able to OTA update to Nougat?

If this is correct can I rename the update or does it need to carry this name to load correctly?

Or am I missing something? Thanks.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Fargo_Zoidberg:
Don't assume you'll get the OTA for Nougat just because you have the Dec patch. The March 13 date was never an "official" date anyway. Just a rumor.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] rile1564:
The date wasn't just rumor. Republic Wireless commented on the unlocked Moto Z Play. Below is the link.

Understood, just want to make sure I am set up correctly to get it when released. I do not want to be waiting with a Nov. Security patch and never going to get it because I did not properly side load the December patch.

First, that's not an official statement from Moto. Secondly, "if all goes well" basically gives them an out if they want to delay it as long as they want.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] T4rd:
Same here on my wife's Z Play; RETUS model on T-Mobile and only got the November patch so far and I've been manually checking it for updates for the past few days.

Hopefully she'll get the update today now that I see you all are getting it. It's odd that others are on a December security patch though on the RETUS (I think) models. I wonder why we never got that? I saw another commenter on a tech blog post a screenshot of his Z Play on T-Mo with the December patch as well. Doesn't make any sense, but it's good to know that you don't have to have it before going to Nougat (as some above have suggested).

My HDX boots but won't go past the animated Kindle Fire logo.

I can access (stock) recovery and do a factory reset (which didn't help at all, I must add)

I tried draining down the battery (still didn't help)

The bootloader is locked, no custom recovery, stock ROM.

My N6 is still waiting 7.1.1 OTA, surprisingly, security patches come on schedule, but almost three months after release, OTA is not coming. Yes, I know I can sideload it, but one of the reasons I decided not to root it was not losing the ability of OTA updates.... any hint?

Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kvk026:
You can flash the stock rom and you will receive OTA . Unlocking bootloader dosen't mean root.

You WILL receive OTA updates just do as follows

1. Unlock bootloader

2. Flash latest fastboot images

3. Lock bootloader - optional.

Make sure you don't keep TWRP recovery. It isn't that good for installing OTA packages via system update.

Please follow the guides if you don't know how to do them. Download the latest one named 7.1.1

Press thanks if i helped :)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgeridoohan:
[MENTION=4766284]Pocket_rocket[/MENTION] Just a warning though... Unlocking your bootloader will wipe your device.

Use the full OTA image instead. I believe there's no need for an unlocked bootloader then.

https://developers.google.com/android/ota

Edit: a word of caution... If you decide to sideload the OTA, it's not a bad idea to keep your bootloader unlocked. If anything goes wrong along the way, you can then fix it.

And about the update issue. Are you on AT&T? They haven't approved 7.1.1 yet...

Edit 2 (I just woke up, gimme a break :D ): If you use Android Pay or anything else dependent on SafetyNet, you can't keep your bootloader unlocked (without further tinkering) since that triggers SN.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mega23mac:
Hi Didgeridoohan, Mine is now NBD92D (AT&T version and update thru OTA) but I don't see any AT&T logo on the back and my city(HK) does not have any AT&T service. Do you have any idea on this(Actually my Nexus 6 is from Australia).

In addition, if I keep sideload the OTA image N6F26U will cause any problem(except the Android Pay)? As you mention that Google does not approve any 7.1.1 AT&T version(Just tried to sideload N6F26U, it said can't install over a newer version).

Thanks so much in advance.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pocket_rocket:
Yes, but I am too lazy to reconfigure my phone after wipe. Tons of apps, accounts, tweaks etc.

No. I'm on Vodafone (Spain) but I purchased this phone right on Amazon, so no pesky carrier should be acting as a man in the middle, I guess...

I mean, the phone runs decently well, but, given the fact that 7.1.1 will be the last update for this model, I want it. I wonder if is just a matter of patience or there is some other issue that is preventing my phone to get the OTA.

Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandip_909:
I have the same issue, m on NBD92D, which seems to ATT only, but there's no AT&T in India. I tried sideloading N6F26U, but it didn't work. Any idea how I can get 7.1, apart from waiting?
