I rooted my Captivate last night using Super One Click and the Youtube video from MobileTechVideos. I installed Titanium Backup and uninstalled all the bloatware along with Tethering Manager to allow for mobile hotspots. However, this morning I discovered I now have no 3G access and can only access the internet via my wireless network. I haven't come across anything online to suggest how to fix this problem. I've tried restarting my phone but this didn't work. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
try to write *#*#4636#*#* in phone dialer and choose Phone information or sth like this.You can find wirless preferences there. in "preferred network type" set WCMDA preferred

How do I save this preference? It's reverting back to the default.
so you have some error in rom or radio. you should flash radio first to some matching to your spl(hboot) and try to change this value in phone inf. again. What value is default and hold in preferred network type?
btw When I change this in my device, phone is reconecting.

The defualt is GSM/WCDMA auto (PRL).
I'm not exactly sure how to do what you're saying. How do I go about flashing radio?
You have to download android sdk. this pack include fastboot.exe(if you have win). it's flashing terminal working with hboot(spl). start your phone by pushing I/O btn and camera button(to spl),and connect device . system will search drivers. you can find them in sdk tools folder (C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver) . if drivers will install corectly, you can flash radio. in command line (start menu>run write cmd) write cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools and enter. next write "fastboot flash radio <location and name of radio>" (fastboot flash radio c:\radio.img)
Olso you can flash radio from recovery,from option flash from zip, if radio is packed to zip and signed. you can find this too.it's beetter flashing i think. I wrote abt this at the end becouse I forgot
I know that I can made much mistakes in my posts. sorry for that . my english is not very well ...
trololololol tenchar!
I humbly submit this to be stickied
ok whats the PRL number? just curious as i have 31400 right now.

I dod appreciate you pasting this writeup but please make sure you do the proper searching and information if your gunna do it. Thanks
prl number is 4399 and I did see that guide but he never clarified where the MIN went. Notice I had commented on problems I had before figuring it out. I clarified the steps needed and included a working .qcn file to keep it simple and easy. So you dont need the pictures

I have yet to find a comprehensive, easy to understand guide to flashing the HTC Evo to Cricket. I have learned this from trial and error. If there is a good guide out there then please post it. Lets Begin
Things You Will Need:
1) Htc Evo 4g
2) Root www.unrevoked.com
3) Crickets $55 Android Plan
4) A Windows pc (x86 or x64)
5) HTC Diagnostic Drivers(attached)
6) Cricket Nation Wide PRL(Attached latest as of 3/21/2011)
7) CDMA Workshop http://www.cdma-ware.com/workshop.html (the Demo Is all You Need)
6) QPST 2.7_355 http://www.mediafire.com/?giv1y4qd02k6y63
7) MSL Reader (Its in the market)
8) You must be smarter than the average bear
The first step is to root the phone. I recommend unrevoked.com
One more thing: I highly recommend using that genius deathsled's cricket rom located here-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784776
HOWEVER Any rom will work to an extent. I will post a mms fix for gingerbread roms as well
Now for the guide
1) Call cricket and set up the plan, have them program the phone into their system(Make sure to mention that you have a flashed phone) and get your MIN/MDN numbers from them you will need them. Then Install msl reader to get your msl. Write it down
2) Unzip the drivers to your desktop.
3) Plug the phone into your computer(select charge only) and dial ##DIAG# and DM Command Service should come up on the phone. Your computer will try and locate the HTC Diag drivers and fail. Install them manually through device manager.
4)Install QPST. After you are done open QPST Configuration. Click add port and select the one that says surf.
5) Leave qpst open and extract the CDMA Workshop Demo to your desktop. Open CDMA Workshop.
6) On the COM Settings part select your phones port and set the Baud Rate to USB.
7) Click Connect, then Read. When prompted enter your msl
8) Click the “security” tab under SPC type in your MSL code and click SPC> Send It should say Phone unlocked
9) Then replace your MSL code with all zeros 000000 and click SPC>Write
10) Restart The Phone
11) Dial ##DIAG# once more
12) Open QPST Configuration, make sure your phone is still listed, then Click Start clients> Service Programing
13) In QPST Click "read from phone" then click the "CDMA" tab
14) I have also included a qpst file open it through qpst now
15) Go through all of the tabs and add your number wherever you see all 9s
16) On the cdma tab where it says imsi_s put your MIN
17) Then go to the roam tab and under preferred roaming load the prl(extract it to desktop)
18) Click write to phone
19) Install APN Backup Restore after phone reboots from market
20) Create a new text document and paste this to it (make sure to edit it with your number!)
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<apns count="1">
<apn name="CDMA-MMS" numeric="46605" mcc="466" mnc="05" apn="mms" user="your10digit#[email protected]" server="NA" password="cricket" proxy="wap.mycricket.com" port="8080" mmsproxy="null" mmsport="null" mmsprotocol="null" mmsc="http://mms.mycricket.com/mycricket/mms.php" type="mms" />
</apns>
Rename the file to apn.xml
21) Open apn backup restore, click backup apn , the put apn.xml into the APN Backup Restore folder and restore it. Reboot
22) Your done! Now enjoy your new cricket phone!

*GINGERBREAD FIX*
1) Using root explorer, go to /system/app and delete mms.apk, then put the included mms.apk into /system/app then open and install it.
2) Using root explorer delete EVERYTHING located in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ then put the telephony.db file provided in that directory.
3) Reboot
4) Profit
*UPDATE*
If the above method doesn't work try the following in conjunction with the above.
1)Flash attached cricket_eris_web_mms_v10.zip
2) Install autostart from market
3) Reboot and select yes at the su prompt at startup
Let me know if that works. If not I will flash back to CM7 and do more experimenting.

if your on the android plan u shouldnt need autostart cuz that was to direct web access through a proxy to make it work

This guide is intended for Telstra One XL users in Australia Only. If you are not using this handset then please leave this thread now as this process MAY NOT work for you as I have no way of confirming.
Recently I have seen an increase in the amount of questions on what we (Telstra users) need to do to Root and/or Unlock the Bootloader on our phones. This guide is intended to have all of this information in one place so that all Telstra users can have a quick reference point to this info so that we don't clog up the forums with many posts.
I am not to be held responsible for any problems or paper weights that you may have/create while using these methods. In saying that, these methods and tried, true and tested by many users here on the XDA forums. Any problems that you may have can be posted in this thread or in the Q&A sections of this forum.
Now onto the good stuff....
To be able to install a Custom ROM onto your Telstra HTC One XL you DO NOT need to root your phone (unless using Goo Manager to install recovery but more on that later.), all you need to do is Unlock the Bootloader and then install a Custom Recovery through fastboot.
If you have any questions about the below processes then please post in this thread so that we can assist you with all the information that you need to know.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to get Root permissions - 1.81 Only
Please note: Root is only achievable if your software number starts with 1.81. To check this go to Settings > About > Software Information > Software Number. If the version is 1.89 then you will not be able to root your phone.
1. Go to the HTC Website and download HTC Sync Manager from here. Once installed ensure that it is not running. You can do this by going to Task Manager (Right Click Taskbar > Start Task Manager) > Processes > Then end the HSMServiceEntry.exe and htcUPCTLoader.exe processes.
2. Download the attached onxr.zip file that contains the files required to Root your phone.
3. Create a new folder on C:\ Drive called Android and then extract the Zip file into that location.
4. Connect up your phone to your computer using the USB cable that came with the phone.
5. Enabled USB Debugging. Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging
6. Make sure the phone is in Charge Only mode by pulling down the Notification bar from the top of your screen, pressing on USB Connection Type and selecting Charge Only.
7. Browse to C:\Android and find the correspodning file to your operating system:
Windows - root.bat
Linux - root-linux.sh
Mac OSX - root-mac.sh
8. Wait for the script to finish and your phone to restart once or twice.
9. Once the phone completes it's reboots open your App Drawer and confirm that the SuperSU application is present. Open the app and click Ok to update your SU Binaries.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Unlock the Bootloader
1. Before starting browse to here. Download and install HTC Sync Manager but do not start it.
2. Also download the attached adb-fastboot.zip file on this post and extract it to C:\Android\. You should now have adb.exe and fastboot.exe files in this folder along with some .dll files.
2. Go to HTCDev.com
3. Click Register at the top of the screen and setup your account.
4. Once completed browse to http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions.
5. Unfortunately we cannot remove the battery so start from Step 2 and follow all the way down to Step 4 then click 'Proceed to Step 5'.
7. Scroll down to Step 6 as we have already extracted the ADB and Fastboot file, then click 'Proceed to Step 8'.
8. Follow the steps on screen until you have your Device Identifier Token. Place this token into the text box provided and click 'Submit'.
9. HTC will then email your Unlock Code to you. Once you receive this file save it to C:\Android\ with the other files from earlier.
10. Follow Steps 12 and 13.
11. Your device now has an Unlocked Bootloader.
12. To relock your Bootloader to run an RUU, simply run fastboot oem lock from command prompt.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Install TWRP Custom Recovery
Please note: This step can only be attempted after Unlocking your Bootloader. If your Bootloader is not unlocked then you will not be able to complete this step.
1. Browse to the TWRP HTC One X (Evita) webpage.
2. Download the latest TWRP recovery img under the 'Download Recovery Image' section of the page. Current version (2.2.2.0) as of 29/08/12 here.
3. Download the attached adb-fastboot.zip file on this post and extract it to C:\Android\. You should now have adb.exe and fastboot.exe files in this folder along with some .dll files.
4. Turn off your phone.
5. Hold down the Volume Down button and then the Power button until a basic text menu appears on your screen with a white background.
6. Using your Volume Up and Down Buttons and your Power button as your Enter button select 'fastboot' from the list of options. If you have HTC Sync installed correctly your screen should now say FASTBOOT USB.
7. Click on Start > Run (Windows Key + R) then type: cd C:\Android\
8. Then enter the following command. Once this command is entered it will copy the recovery to your device and flash this custom recovery.
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-evita.img
Note: The name of the recovery file will change when a new version is released. If you are using Windows 7 the best way to ensure the name of the file is correct is to type the first few letters and then press the TAB key on your keyboard.
9. After the recovery has been flashed to your phone successfully you will need to select reboot from the menu on your phones screen and then recovery. This will reboot your phone into the TWRP Recovery mode, from here you will be able to flash ROMs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to install a ROM using TWRP
1. Download the ROM you would like to Flash to your phone and copy it across to your SD Card.
2. Reboot your phone into Recovery.
Stock ROM: Turn off your phone. Hold Volume Down and Press the Power Button for 3 seconds and then let go of the Power Button but keep holding Volume Down until the white bootloader screen is show. Once here select Recovery from the list on screen using the Volume Up and Down buttons then using the Power Button to select the recovery open.
Custom ROM: You may be able to reboot into recovery from the Power Menu, otherwise use the above method.
3. Create a Nandroid Backup. To do this you need to press the Backup button and select only System and Data. Name your backup with the name of the ROM and the date you are doing the back in case you need to restore this backup at a later date.
4. As a general rule of thumb before flashing a new ROM I do the following. (You don't have to use this method, you may be advised to use a different method depending on the ROM so please check their install instructions.
Go to Wipe. Then wipe in the following order:
Cache
Dalvik Cache
System
Factory Reset
5. Go back to the main TWRP screen. Select Install
6. Browse your SDCard and find the ROM .zip file and click on it.
7. Swipe to install.
8. Follow the prompts, if there are any, for the ROM you are installing.
9. Once the install has finished then select Reboot to System.
APNs
You may be required to enter in your APN settings if your not using a Telstra Based ROM. To enter these APNs go to Settings > Mobile Network > Access Point Names > Menu > Add. Once entered in make sure you select the orange radio button to enable the APN.
(Internet)
Name: Telstra Internet
APN: Telstra.wap
Proxy: 10.1.1.181
Port: 80
APN type: default
Leave all other fields unchanged
(MMS)
Name: Telstra MMS
APN: Telstra.mms
MMSC: http://mmsc.telstra.com:8002
MMS proxy: 10.1.1.180
MMS port: 80
APN type: mms
Leave all other fields unchanged
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tweaks
Build.prop Edits
After installing a Custom ROM that isn't built for Telstra Users it is suggested that you add the following edits to your Build.prop file:
Code:
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=24
ro.ril.enable.amr.wideband=1
To make these edits you will need to install a file explorer like 'ES File Explorer'. Once installed ensure that it has root permissions and that the File System is mounted as writable.
1. Browse to /system/, long press on build.prop and select edit.
2. Find the above entrys and ensure that they are the same as above. If they don't exist then enter them as they appear above.
3. Save the newly edited build.prop.
4. Reboot your phone.
Note: The wideband change will not work on CyanogenMod 10. We have submitted something to the issue tracker here to try and get this resolved for us.
Telstra One App
The latest TelstraOne app is now available on the Google PlayStore here.

Great work, well written mate, I'm sure it'll help a lot of newbies.
Only thing I noticed was the software version of 1.85 - Telstra roms start from 1.81 then jump up to 1.89.
1.85 was more AT&T if I'm not mistaken.

Would you be running CM10 by any chance? I haven't managed to get it working with it yet.
If it's a sense rom it should appear in the app drawer as soon as you copy it over.

Mac...?
Hi guys, thanks for the info. I'm on a mac, do you guys know of any tools to use to unlock my XL?
You can unlock the phone (assuming you bought one from Telstra) by going to HTCDev. You'll need fastboot to complete the process though.
(Unfortunately xda doesn't allow me to post links here yet, but googling should take you to the right place)
Thanks, I managed it. The instructions are quite windows based but it was simple enough once I worked out that the process is mostly OS agnostic if you exchange fastboot for fastboot-mac and use terminal on OS X. Using CM10 nightly, like it.
Thankyou worked a charm with a couple of exceptions.
I installed aokp_evita-jb-rohan-build3
Working good over the weeked
APN I automatically had 4 APN's come up one of which name Telstra internet wPortal which had you settings so I selected that.
Telstra App It appeared fine after doing you instructions but only after rebooting the phone
Couldn't test 4G as I live outside coverage but work inside, 4G didnt appear inside the coverage zone this morning and this was when I edited the Build.prop and
after rebooting, nothing, blank screen and I left it a while, tried a couple more times to boot and it appeared to be dead. Had an original backup that I could restore. Will test again later
Will have to find out what the missing 4G issue was after reinstalling

The best APN i have used on an AOSP rom is the one without 'w/Portal' in the title.
As for the build.prop edits, I can't confirm if these actually do anything in AOSP. I'm still yet to test this out myself. I assume that the HD Voice edit will work but I doubt the that HSDPA change will work.
[EDIT] question solved

Thanks for the guide!
How different is the One X AT&T to the One XL? e.g. can we use the "One X All in One Kit" to unlock the One XL bootloader?
What are peoples opinions on custom ROMs? The One X has Android Revolution HD but there doesnt seem to be anything earth shattering for the XL due to a far smaller userbase. Are the stock ROMs with root good enough?
Anyone flashed this latest Telstra 2.40 radio here
I had terrible signal using that, gone back to the last one.

I have flashed it on CM10 1006 and it worked ok but its not working well on 1007 or 1008 (doesn't even appear to install correctly).
I'm using a TMOUS One S S4 vers and I've rooted and flashed the TWRP recovery. I want to use my stock ROM or one as close as possible to stock and unlock the APN settings so I can get wifi tethering to work. I'm currently on the UnKnown ROM, as it is pretty much stock, but the APN's are still locked. I tried the following tool from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33747241
But it still didn't work for me. Is there another way to get the apns unlocked besides a custom ROM?
If you are using the mod I made would have to use the manual method of installing it into system.
The flash didn't work I am having trouble getting a flashable zip of it.
But if you use TWRP recovery file manager to copy it over with the instructions and then factory data reset (thats important so the system reads the settings again) and then setup the phone it does work on the 2.35 tmous stock rom.

Thanx for the reply. So I'm assuming you're talking about method #2 in that link. It would be great to use with the stock TMOUS ROM, but I'm having some issues implementing it.
1) Is there a tutorial on how to do the manual method? When I go into TWRP file manager, I see the "system" folder, but there is no "framework" folder there. Also, I'm vaguely familiar with chmod commands. I get lost at "chmod to 644." I know a few fastboot commands to get a recovery flashed from a directory but that's about it.
2) I have issues getting into recovery consistently. This may be a completely different issue but, the instructions I saw said to flash the ROM and then reboot recovery. Then flash the mod to fix the wifi. When I try to reboot recovery, my phone usually starts booting the ROM for the first time. I have to hold down the power button for 14 sec to shut it down and try to get to recovery again. It takes a few times for me to get there. I don't know if this causes problems with the fix being able to work because the ROM is starting to read on 1st boot?
Thanx again for the reply and I'd appreciate if you could shed some light on the manual method.
Nevermind. I figured it out once I played around with TWRP. Very nice recovery and great mod. Everything is working correctly now on the stock ROM. Thanx again
FYI for others: Once you copy the "framework-res.apk" file to your storage card,
1) You have to go into TWRP, mount,
2) Mount the SD card and system by putting checks next to them
3) Goto home screen in TWRP and goto advanced
4) Select file system and navigate to SD Card and find the "framework-res.apk" file where you saved it
5) Select the file and then select "move"
6) Now navigate back by pressing the "up one level" at the top of each list until you get to root.
7) Now find the "system" folder and then the "framework" folder.
8) Select....... can't remember, but there's and option to move it there. It will confirm.
9) Select the file "framework-res.apk" in the directory you just pasted it to and select chmod
10) Type in 644 and select done.
11) Go back to the home screen and select "wipe" and "factory reset"
12) Now reboot system. Done.
APN's are no longer locked.

Can you please tell me what framework I am on? Is that the same thing as hboot. I am currently on 1.06 and I see 3.16 under hardware information. Is that compatible with your mod?
INTRO:
The mission of this thread is to make some potentially important information available to all users that have the SCH-S968C(All Tracfone carrier models) that has been gathered over the last year and a half for flashing CM/CM based ROMs on the SCH-S968C .
Though this information is available in many other places, I'm collecting it all into one place to try and make it as painless as possible for everyone with the SCH-S968C. This guide is a long one and has many steps but I've attempted to make it as straightforward as possible for those that are new to rooting and flashing.
BACKSTORY:
Starting from some time in 2014 there have been a lot of users with the SCH-S968C that have flashed a CM11/CM12/CM13 or CM11/CM12/CM13 based custom ROM and didn't have mobile data(3G) or even no cellular signal after flashing and were like:
"OH MY GOD! WHAT DID I DO!?"
Then they would start flashing other ROMs or flashing back to stock to straighten the issue out, only to find that didn't help and none of the typical or expected solutions would correct the issue. Many were flashing modems and swapping system files in an effort to get data working, all of which ended with either a non-working device or a bricked device, do not try the things they tried, that is not the fix for the situation.(if you are one of the ones that lost signal and can't get it back even on stock, I'll discuss the fix for that in TROUBLESHOOTING at the end of this guide).
THE REASON:
These users would have no signal after flashing because unfortunately, these ROMs are built for the Verizon S3 SCH-I535 but the SCH-S968C can flash them(it actually has the SCH-I535 Verizon motherboard with 4G disabled in the hardware, making it 3G only). The Verizon S3 is a 4G/LTE device, Verizon uses a CDMA 4G/LTE SIM in their 4G devices to regulate 4G data. This SIM requirement is built into the ROMs themselves. Even though the SCH-S968C is a 3G device, this makes these ROMs require a CDMA 3G/4G/LTE SIM when flashed on the SCH-S958C to receive at least data(some of the ROMs even require it for cellular service also, not just data).
The discussion of all of this about the SIM, what has been tried to bypass the SIM and the things discovered to leave the SIM and get everything working at its best can be found in THIS THREAD. Most of the issues and fixes for the KK and newer ROMs, all the troubleshooting and fixes associated to getting working data/MMS/SIM correctly configured along with restoring if you have issues can be found in the linked thread, mostly toward the end and not so much the middle.
***PREREQUISITES***
]1[-Rooted Galaxy S3(SCH-S968C) obviously, lol.
]2[-(Optional)If you're going to use PC to do your downloading and moving files then you'll need the "USB drivers for Samsung phones"(install on PC), download: HERE
]3[-ES File Explorer installed, download: HERE
]4[-Terminal Emulator installed, download: HERE
]5[-TWRP Manager or Flashify installed.
]*[ Download TWRP Manager: HERE
]*[Download Flashify: HERE
]*[(Optional)For those that manually download the .img with a mobile browser, it will be in your download folder, those with PC download it then transfer it to the device where you can find it, flash it with Flashify. Download TWRP .img: HERE.
]6[-CDMA 3G/4G/LTE SIM(absolutely MUST have a SIM or you won't get mobile data/MMS to work), below is a list of SIMs that should work and the results of using them, you'll need a micro SIM or a full-size SIM trimmed to fit micro(a nano SIM with adapter to fit micro will work as long as it is a CDMA, not a GSM SIM).
]*[Previously activated Verizon 4G LTE SIM.($3-5 on eBay)
(results are APN settings are accessible and mobile data/MMS works correctly)
]*[New, never activated Verizon SIM
(most users with a new SIM have working mobile data(3G) but have had issues accessing APN settings to get MMS working, some have had no issue accessing APN settings, some users with a new SIM also had a random dialing issue that would dial a *2289X number, the cause was never identified, this issue doesn't happen with a previously activated Verizon 4G/LTE SIM).
]*[Straight Talk BYOP CDMA 4G/LTE SIM(not the AT&T/T-Mobile SIM, those are GSM and won't work)(I haven't been able to verify if there is a difference between used and new ST SIMs but mobile data should work and if APN settings are accessible you should be able to get MMS working, hopefully users will post their results here with new and used ST SIM).
]7[ (Optional)-Titanium Backup installed, download: HERE
***PREPARING BEFORE FLASHING***
***NOTE***For the users that don't have a PC to do their downloading and file moving, I'll provide instructions for using ES File Explorer to do everything.***NOTE***
***NOTE***You can use your PC instead of ES File Explorer for everything EXCEPT copying /efs, this step will be done using the device to keep it simple for those that don't have PC and because PC method to pull a copy of /efs is a bit technical for the average user, I will only be explaining for using ES File Explorer.***NOTE***
]1[-For steps later in this guide(and for general purposes), you'll need to enable Root Explorer and mount R/W in ES File Explorer. To do this open ES File Explorer and tap the menu button.

]4[-Tap "Mount R/W".
]5[-Your list of partitions may be different than mine but generally you want all partitions EXCEPT firmware-mdm set to RW as shown in screenshot. Tap OK when done.
]6[-It is recommended to make a NVdata backup to protect IMEI then save a copy of your /efs folder before flashing custom ROMs. IMEI is very easy to lose depending on what you flash and the order you flash it in with this device.
]*[(RECOMMENDED)Comprehensive guide to backing up IMEI/efs HERE
]*[For those that don't have a PC, open the Terminal Emulator app and type:
su(press enter, grant superuser/root permission if prompted)
Then type:
reboot nvbackup(press enter, the device will reboot).
]*[This saves NVdata/IMEI to be restored later if flashing wipes IMEI, instructions for restoring posted below in TROUBLESHOOTING).
]7[- It is also recommended to save a copy of your /efs folder on your extsdcard, we will use ES File Explorer. Open ES File Explorer and take note of what your extsdcard is labeled as and remember it, you'll need to know this later, then swipe from right to left to go a page over.
]8[-Tap the / symbol.
]9[-Press and hold the /efs folder to highlight it then tap the "More" button at the bottom.
]10[-Tap "Copy to"
]11[-Tap the arrow at the top left(what it says will be different depending on the ROM you're using).
]12[-Remember the name of your extsdcard? Select your extsdcard.
]13[-When you get to your extsdcard, tap "OK"(Those with PC can now connect to PC and save a copy of /efs on PC, you may have to enable MTP in the USB options that pop up when you connect device to PC to grant the PC access to device storage).
]14[-Open Titanium Backup(grant superuser/root permission if prompted while using Titanium Backup), backup all apps/data/settings you want to keep(Follow the guide I linked to determine what you want and what is safe to restore after flashing a new ROM, some things won't restore in a new ROM without causing issues), instructions for using Titanium Backup HERE.
]15[-To simplify moving files and to keep everyone on the same page when finding your files when you flash them we will create a folder on extsdcard and name it ABC(or whatever you want as long as you know which one it is), this will make it easy to find in TWRP when you flash your ROM.
Open ES File Explorer and select your extsdcard.(Those with PC can use PC to do this)
]16[-Tap the "New" button.
]17[-Tap "Folder".
]18[-Name the folder "ABC"(or whatever you choose) then tap OK.
]19[-Download the KK/LP/MM d2lte or d2vzw ROM(s) of your choice and store it/them in the folder you created on your extsdcard. You will find ROMs, custom recoveries, custom kernels and various other mods that can be used on the SCH-S968C in the links below.
]*[ROMs+other mods: HERE
]*[More ROMs: HERE
***EXTREME CAUTION***(DO NOT use anything that says STOCK/STOCK based or TW(TouchWiz) in its name, nothing that says firmware or modem, nothing that mentions Safestrap Recovery or Flashfire, locked Bootloader(BL). All of these things are specifically for the Verizon SCH-I535 and will almost certainly lead to hard bricking your device if you attempt to use them.***EXTREME CAUTION***
]20[-Download the appropriate Gapps for the ROM(s) you chose and store it/them in the folder you created(the version of Gapps you need should be mentioned wherever you get your ROM from).
]21[-Charge battery to full.
]22[-Now you're safely prepared to start the flashing process, proceed to the next steps.
***FLASHING TWRP***
It is recommended to always use the newest version of TWRP available for best results. If you already have the newest version then skip to FLASHING YOUR ROM, if you don't have it then follow instructions below.
To make this easy for those that are new or don't have a PC, we will use TWRP Manager or Flashify to flash TWRP, or by manually downloading the TWRP .img(linked above) then flashing it in Flashify.
***FLASHING WITH TWRP MANAGER***
]1[-Open TWRP Manager(grant superuser/root permission at any time while using TWRP Manager). Tap "Device Name".
]2[-Scroll down the list and select "Samsung Galaxy S3 Verizon d2vzw".
]3[-Tap "Recovery Version to install".
]4[-Select the newest version available.
]5[-Tap "Install Recovery".
]6[-The .img will download.
]7[-When the .img downloads it will prompt you to verify the partition to flash to, verify you have the same thing and tap "yes".
]8[-When the .img finishes flashing, you will be prompted to reboot to recovery, tap "yes".
***NOTE***Skip to BACKING UP YOUR STOCK ROM if you used this method to flash TWRP.***NOTE***
***NOTE***If you've tried this and you're having issues with this method, refer to the method below***NOTE***
***FLASHING WITH FLASHIFY***
]1[-Open Flashify and tap "Recovery Image"(grant superuser/root permission if promoted while using Flashify).
]2[-If you manually downloaded the .img(linked above as an option in PREREQUISITES), tap "Choose file", then select it from your download folder or wherever you stored it then skip over the next two steps below this one for downloading the .img in Flashify.
If you haven't manually downloaded the .img, skip this step and go to the next step to download the .img in Flashify.
]3[-Tap "Download TWRP".
]4[-Select the newest version available.
]5[-The .img will download(it will be downloaded in /flashify/recoveries/twrp/ folder if you ever need to find it.
]6[-When it downloads or when you select the .img from storage, it will prompt you to flash the recovery.img, tap "yup".
]7[-After it flashes, tap "Reboot now".
]8[ Proceed to BACKING UP YOUR STOCK ROM.
***BACKING UP YOUR STOCK ROM***
]1[-When you are booted to TWRP, if you are still on stock and you haven't made a NANDroid backup, make it now by selecting the "backup" option before you flash anything!(Very important step)
]2[-Tap "Select Storage".
]3[-Select your extsdcard(Micro SDCard), select OK.
]4[-The default partitions selected to backup are fine, swipe the slider to confirm, this NANDroid backup can be used at any point in the future to restore the device to stock if you have issue or ever want/need to.
]5[-Press the Home button in TWRP to return to the Main screen and proceed to FLASHING YOUR ROM.
***FLASHING YOUR ROM***
]1[-While still in recovery after making your stock NANDroid, remove battery cover and insert SIM then replace cover.
]2[-Tap "Wipe".
]3[-You'll see "Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik(not including internal storage)" at the top, swipe the slider to perform the wipe and wait for it to finish.
]4[-Tap the Home button in TWRP to return to main screen, select "Install".
]5[-Select "Up a level".
]6[-Select "external_sd".
]7[-Select the "ABC" folder you created(or whatever name you chose for the folder, scroll down the list if needed).
]8[-Select your ROM.zip.
]9[-Tap "Add more zips".
]10[-Select your Gapps.zip.
]11[-Swipe the slider to confirm the flash.
]12[-After flashing, tap "Wipe cache/dalvik".
]13[-Swipe the slider to confirm.
]14[-Tap "Reboot System".
]15[-Wait for the phone to boot(It will take 10-20 minutes to fully load), when it boots into Setup Wizard, stop and watch the status bar Network Signal icon, wait for the device to detect the SIM, when the icons shows a signal(and 3G if you're lucky, if you are not getting any 3G then just get on WiFi to finish setup if you have WiFi or if you don't have WiFi, skip setup and go on to SETTING UP DEVICE AND SIM, you can sign in to Google to finish setup after you get the SIM and APNs set up), then go through Setup Wizard to set up the device and sign in to your Google account. When you're in the phone, continue to setup steps below.
***SETTING UP DEVICE AND SIM***
***NOTE***Your system settings may look different depending on your ROM but the settings should be the same or similar, find the settings described wherever they are in your ROM and set them to what is posted.***NOTE***
]1[-Go to System Settings>About>Build Number.
]2[-Tap build number at least 7 times quickly to enable Developer Options(you'll get a toast message saying you have enabled development options).
]3[-Go to System Settings>Developer Options.
]4[-Set Root Access to "apps and adb".
]5[-While still in developer options, verify USB debugging is on(neither is needed for setup but turning them on now prevents potentially confusing issues later).
]6[-Open your dialer app and dial:
*228(if your SIM is a Verizon SIM), press send, this programs the SIM, hangup when done.
OR
*2289X(if your SIM is a Straight Talk SIM(or any other Tracfone variant CDMA SIM). I can't confirm the actual number, I haven't used this SIM), if your SIM is a ST BYOP CDMA 4G/LTE SIM then this number should program the SIM, I can't confirm that though, if it doesn't we'll have to hope someone that used ST 4G posts what they had to do, hang up when done.
]7[-Go to System Settings>Mobile Networks(tap the words, not the toggle switch.
]8[-Set Preferred Network to "3G".
]9[-Set CDMA Subscription to "NV".
]10[-Select Access Point Names.
]11[-Then select one of the existing APN sets on the list(any set, it doesn't matter, do not create a new set, you have to edit an existing set or they won't save, your list won't look the same as mine).
]12[-Edit the APNs using either set I have posted, the Tracfone set should work on all Tracfone network variants. Change only the values listed.
]*[Tracfone APNs, enter the name of your Tracfone network Carrier variant in the Name value(These APNs are for all Tracfone devices including BYOP devices).
Name: (Your network variant)
APN: tfdata
Port: 80
MMSC: http://mms-tf.net
MMS Proxy: mms3.Tracfone.com
MMS Port: 80
]*[Verizon APNs(these will also work on the Tracfone variants since they are on Verizon towers).
Name: verizon
APN: internet
MMSC: http://MMS.vtext.com/servlets/mms
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 012
APN Type: internet,mms
]13[-When you've entered the APNs, tap the menu button.
]14[-Save the edited APNs, the set you create might disappear but they are still there and will still work as normal.
***NOTE***If you flashed a 4.4+ ROM first and now you want to go up to 5.0+/6.0+ and you have working data, now would be a good time to reboot to TWRP to flash the 5.0+/6.0+ ROM and Gapps like instructed in the above steps. When you get them flashed, do these same steps to make sure everything is set where it needs as you go back through everything.(or dirty flash with no factory reset, only wipe cache and dalvik after flashing and ONLY as long as it is an update to the same ROM you are using, for example, CM11 to CM12 or AICP 5.0 to AICP 6.0, hopefully dirty flashing will let you keep APNs configured in some of the newer ROMs that don't give access to APN settings instead of having no way to change APNs in your new ROM, also, some of the ROMs don't have the settings built in the ROM because they have World APNs so shouldn't need the settings configured)***NOTE***
]15[-Reboot the device to reload settings.
]16[-After the device reboots you should have working mobile data and MMS(You can sign in to your Google account now if you had to skip it in setup), install Titanium backup using the copy of the app you placed on extsdcard then open Titanium Backup and restore all the data you backed up in Titanium Backup, reboot after restoring data from Titanium Backup.(You will need to go to System Settings>Security>Unknown Sources and turn it on to install Titanium Backup if you're installing from a copy you manually saved, or you can install it again from the Google Playstore)
]17[-Remember to set Root Explorer and mount R/W in ES File Explorer as described in PREPARING BEFORE FLASHING section posted above before proceeding to the next step.
]18[-Once everything is set up the way you want, mobile data/MMS are correctly configured and all data is restored from Titanium Backup, you can boot to TWRP and make a new NANDroid backup of your custom ROM with everything working, this can also be used to restore later if you have issues. Remember, at this point you should have a stock NANDroid backup and a custom NANDroid backup if you've followed the instructions, either can be used when/if you need it. Reboot after making the new NANDroid backup.

***Troubleshooting***
]1[-ISSUE-You've tried flashing a CM12/CM13 or CM based Lollipop/Marshmallow ROM but you are getting a bootloop.
]A[-POSSIBLE FIX- Did you wipe data/wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache before/after flashing then rebooting?
]B[-POSSIBLE FIX- When coming from stock to Lollipop or newer it is sometimes necessary to do a clean install when flashing the ROM, to clean install, Boot to TWRP, select "Wipe".
]*[Then select "Advanced Wipe".
]*[Then select "System" and "Data" partitions(do not select any other partitions). Swipe the slider to confirm the wipe.
]*[Tap the home button and continue by flashing ROM and Gapps normally as posted in FLASHING YOUR ROM above.
]2[-ISSUE- You flashed a ROM and lost Signal.
]A[-POSSIBLE FIX- Check Network Settings to verify you're set to 3G and NV, if you flashed a custom ROM before this and had working data then flash back to that ROM and check network settings in that ROM also.
]B[-POSSIBLE FIX- Check System Settings>About>Status>IMEI and verify you still have IMEI. If you have lost IMEI then follow steps below.
]*[(Recommended)-Refer to the Comprehensive guide to backup IMEI/efs to restore IMEI HERE
]*[-Open Terminal Emulator and type:
su (press enter, grant superuser/root permission if prompted)
Then type:
reboot nvrestore (press enter, this will restore your IMEI)
]*[-Restoring the nvbackup using Terminal Emulator erases the backup from where it was saved so you'll need to make another NVdata backup using the same method described above in the PREPARING BEFORE FLASHING section.
]*[-Copy your efs folder back to its location on your device(overwrite the existing file if needed), reboot device.
]3[-ISSUE- You flashed a 6.0 CM/CM based ROM and now your PC sees your device but isn't seeing your device storage.
]A[-Possible fix- When device connects you'll see a notification in status bar, pull down notifications and open options, select MTP.
***NOTE***THIS THREAD(linked above also) discusses various issues when flashing these ROMs and using SIM, remember to patiently read through it if you have issues and you'll probably find your answer, the issues and fixes are spread through many months of posts so it's not going to be a fast find, but with diligence to suffer through the agony of reading posts you'll most likely find your answer***NOTE***
Hello. Nice guide here. Only problem I have is APN settings not accessible with cm 12.1 and a new ST SIM card. Tried to visit link for different ROMs and everything on fixin SIM/MMS, but links are broken.

The links work fine for me, try a different browser or something.
As stated in my guide, new, never activated SIMs usually can't access APNs but previously activated ones can, get a used Verizon SIM from eBay for $3-5, they have APNs stored on the SIM, this allows you to edit them.
Or you can try different ROMs to see if APNs are accessible, some can and some can't because some of the ROMs have world APNs built in(these don't have APN settings), the ones without world APNs should be able to access APN settings.

Are the APNs saving when you can access them? If so then a reboot shouldn't reset everything. You have to edit an existing set or they won't save, creating a new set won't save, only editing existing sets works.

Leaving the rest of them won't harm anything, you can delete them if you want but once they are gone there's no getting them back.
In my experience, I've seen better results with a used SIM from Verizon, they are easy to get and cheap for $3 to $5 on eBay.

Typically on this device, when you edit and save they disappear but still work, that's normal for this device if that is what you mean.

After dialing *228 im given the apn list. One of them works from the start with no modifications and is named straight talk. But after rebooting the phone the list will be blank and say apn setting not available for this user(data works but no mms). If i dial it again the list returns and the phones mms works onces again. Im guessing this is the errors you have been talking about but i got the sim card befor your guild.
I will most likely buy another card used but im not much of an ebay user
And im sorry my English is vary bad

The apn it defaults to and works on is basically blank but it works. As long as i dont restart the phone. I have not tested to see what happens over a long period of time, my guess is it will eventually stop working again. But i will keep my phone on over night and see if i can mms in the morning

Wait before you get the SIM. I might can work something out for you. You're the first person to mention getting APN settings back after they weren't available and the first to mention that you lose them after a reboot. Does your data and MMS still work after rebooting?
I'm going to contact some developer associates of mine and see if we can't use this information to come up with a working fix for it, if so, you won't need another SIM but if you'd rather not wait then go ahead get the SIM.
You have me curious to see if there is something useful that can be done like writing a script or something to run at startup to keep your issue from happening. Whether its a script or not there may still be a chance there could be a small breakthrough for this device when using these ROMs.

I am more than happy to wait I'm more interested in the process of getting this to work then I am updating my phone after a reboot and APN settings disappear I lose the ability to MMS but I still am able to use data.
If there is any information I can send you please let me know I am more than happy to send it
I am doing this with the CM 13 nightly build but I'm not up to date this current moment because that would require a reboot

In the meantime, if you want to use MMS you can use Hangouts or a third party texting app from the Playstore, there are several different ones, third party texting works fine, its the stock messenger in these ROMs that doesn't work without the APNs, third party doesn't need it.

Yes, but some of the third party apps don't require the other person to have it.
BTW, if you use the reply button under someones post(if you're using a browser) it will quote whoever you're replying to and they'll get a notification to let them know you replied.
Or if you're using an app to view this form, tap the persons post then tap reply and it will quote them.
This way they know you replied instead of having to purposely come look to see if you replied.
You can also give someone a mention if you want to get their attention by putting @ on the beginning of their name like this @stoneman1924, this also gives them a notification that you mentioned them so they'll know to come look. It makes it easier for everyone if you use the quote system and the mention system. I've quoted your post every time I replied, it gave you notifications that I had replied to you so you could check my reply didn't it?
