So my girlfriend walked into a sprint store to activate my old evo 4g. The sprint guy was cool, saw that it was running miui and showed her that his personal phone was also running miui. He said he couldn't activate the phone though because it was rooted. She said he tried three times and it wasn't possible because it was rooted. Anyone else had this issue? Thanks.

A rooted phone shouldn;t be an issue but the fact that you're running a custom rom is. You're gonna have to go back to a stock rom in order to activate.

So, a rooted stock ROM should still be able to activate?

yes you just need a rom that has EPST, so you can update the data profile and use the dialer codes. Once it's activated on your number you can flash whatever you'd like

How can you tell if it has the EPST.apk?
Easiest way is go to the dialer and type ##3282# if a menu opens you have it

yes i'm rooted and i already tried going to back to stock, didn't seem to fix anything.
OK so if u went back to stock u should take it to a sprint store and tell them that it just started to happened and u did a factory data reset and nothing changed.

that isn't changing your radio band, so i'm guessing that you didn't try it. it's a pretty stupid idea, but who cares as long as it works, right? dial *#*#4636#*#* and click on phone information. then push menu, select radio band, and choose USA. otherwise, take it into sprint lol
This happened to me today. Flash to a stock rom (if you aren't already) and update your profile and PRL. Did the trick for me.
Good luck

i can't update my prl or profile. it just says cannot update please try again. i did a complete back to stock unrooted and still no luck.
So I was rooted and had MIUI running when all of a sudden my radios stopped working. I gave up on trying to fix them because every method i found here didnt work. so i went back to stock, decremented my flash counter, and even passed 2 updates successfully through Verizon. should i be okay to return it? is there any other way they could tell that i rooted it?

your devices data should be fixable...restore imei(if it shows all zeros) and then reprovision your device with dialer code *2767*3855#
if you already attempted this then yea it sounds like the device is ready to be returned.

Amen. If you don't back up your IMEI now before any more ROM flashes and you lose it again in the future you will have no one to blame but yourself.

So guys. I got my VZW GS3 flashed to simple mobile today and it works I got G internet signal and mms and such. But as of now for some reason. On white backgrounds on any app the screen flickers. So it's running bonestock a ,vzw Rom ,do I download Roms for T-Mobile gs3 ? Since simple mobile uses tmobile radios. Or do I still download VZW gs3 Roms and set the apns and such? Will I lose the flash?? Not sure if it was flashed to work or that they unlocked the baseband..
Any advice would be great!!
Im thinking if you paid money for your i535 to be flashed to Simple Mobile... you should ask for a refund.

believe me, i wouldnt do this. My father insisted in switching in order to save a ton of bucks at the end of the month
Were you running BoneStock before the flash? It has been my experience that each S3 is differently when it comes to custom ROMs. A ROM that works for you may not work for me, even though we have identical phones.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
You must stick with SCH-i535 ROMs. Especially SCH-i535 kernels and modems. Most ROMs made for other models won't even flash due to self checking Updater-Script. But kernels and modems do not have this check and you will brick if you flash them.

Gotcha, Ill stick to Verizon S3 roms, hopefully i dont lose the flash, not quite sure if they unlocked the baseband though, Global settings should work if i flash a CM10 rom correct?
and by that i mean setting my mobile network to Global and inputting the simple mobile APN?

You should be able to use the simcard when you change the settings to GSM only. I've tried a T-Mobile sim in my i535 both in Bonestock ROM and CM. Didn't test the data, but text msgs and calls worked fine. I used the phone info app to change settings.

I have a new N5 and its unlocked and rooted. I get LTE just fine on the stock rom but when I flash any custom roms, LTE doesn't work. Even when I restore my backed up EFS on the custom rom, LTE still doesn't work. Anytime I nandroid back to my stock rom, LTE works fine. Any ideas or help will be appreciated.

Did you flash Sprint software? It could be the APN.
What sprint software? forgive me im new to this. I did make a backup of my apn of my stock rom and restored it when i flashed a custom rom, but it didn't make a difference.

I think there's some extra APKs you need to add to custom ROMs.
I fixed the issue. I unrooted and returned my phone back to stock. Then I found a sprint. Zip that you flash with custom roms and that worked.

There is no custom sprint software this is a Google phone.

Check the APN settings. On AT&T I have to tweak my settings to get LTE instead of H+.

Its a zip to flash after roms that sets the correct APN settings for sprint. I can't remember the thread I found it in though. But it was for the same issue I was having with my LTE/3g switching.

The reason I am searching through posts is this: my 3G works fine. But when it kicks over to LTE... Nothing happens... In a minute or two I may get 4 mbs or something pretty good and then nothing again. I need it to actually work. My wife has the same issue on her S4 and she is stock. It switches over to LTE.... Nothing. I have LTE off mostly. Steady slow 3g is better than no progress on LTE.
update profile
Should provide the correct settings in the custom Roms assuming the creator added the update profile features. I know cm does

I have the LG G3 on a custom Rom for Tmobile. I'm switching over to At&t tomorrow and taking the phone with me. Can I just install a stock based rom over my tmobile stock rom or do I need to follow a method. Please and thank you for any support or point in the right direction.
Its Rooted with TWRP installed already.

Yes you can. But roms don't affect what carrier there on.

Yeah the rim does not affect the carrier. Why where you running a D851 rom on a D850? Wifi calling?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You dont really need to do anything as TM and ATT use the same LTE bands and share IMEI databsae info. I had a TM note3 that I used on ATT until I got a G3. The ATT sim will register you on the network and you'll want to make sure you have the correct APN settings ( The ATT store can do it while your there or can tell you what's needed) The only issue I had was the TM modem didn't always get great signal and wouldn't place calls in some areas. Not sure of G3 but ATT modem wouldn't flash on my note 3 via odin or otherwise... Cheers!
