As the title says, I am on T-mobile now with my D850. My phone is currently unlocked and rooted using stock rom.
the last phone i flashed a custom rom was with my htc one x and frankly i forgotten all the little details and never bothered because it took a lot of time. i know i need bootloader unlocked to install a custom recovery to flash the rom then back up, install gapps, etc etc. I don't have time or the patience to relearn everything.
I got interested in learning that CM11 is available and i checked out the CM website and was surprised to hear all i have to do is install the installer on both my phone and PC and boom, everything else is automated. This is what i want to try. Here are my questions:
- do i have to manually install any apn, radio, etc. things of that nature to get the proper t-mobile network signal for voice, LTE data, and text messaging?
- is an official D850 released so that once i install, i can simply keep up to date into CM12 via automatic updates through the software? (one click update OTA)
- do i need to make a titanium back up or will all my apps and settings stay when i flash CM?
I appreciate any and all answers. I have not unlocked bootloader via bump yet. but my main worry is will i have to custom install/input all the t-mobile apn and radios because that will require me to manually find and install and risk messing things up.

You just need to install Bump! And a backup is recommended in case something goes wrong, as far as connecting to tmobile all you need is the APN, i have a D850 and i live in mexico and CM11 and 12 work fine with just the apn, also everything will get wiped except for pics and music if you dont wipe internal storage

errr i am not comfortable with adb to install bump! would the automated installer on pc and phone do all this for me? i guess i can try? i just love how CM installer does everything for you. also thanks for confirming all i need to do is input the APN which i'm familiar with when i had switched to t-mobile after i had unlocked my phone. lastly will i have to install gapps separately? Thank you so much, i wish i didn't have to use adb to bump!

Dont need to use adb, just download flashify from the play store, does it all by itself, very easy, the automated installer is just for the rom, you need a recovery first, the gapps should be installed at the same time as the rom, but ive never used the auto installer, i would flash it with the recovery, i like to things manually
Just to let you know that with every AOSP ROM with a T-Mobile Sim you will get a kernel panic if using LTE. I have the D850 but using a T-Mobile Sim. I have to have it on 3g instead of LTE. No ones been able to figure it out I'm guessing because there is only one or two of us using a T-Mobile Sim with this phone. Bummer huh

May ruin other ROMS after this

Well then have you thought of changing carriers? It is a d850 for Att ..... Does it kernel panic on stock Roms ? You might just be **** out of luck cause I'm pretty sure everyone here uses Att. I use straight talk with no issues. You have slim choices..... Change carriers. .... Quit using T-Mobile if you are unhappy with the custom ROM and LTE kernel panics. Or buy a T-Mobile g3..... Lol suck eh... But just telling you what you need to hear.
Or maybe if you are ballsy try to see if a Dev for T-Mobile can help you with this cause I'm thinking that may be your beat bet cause none of us use T-Mobile. :thumbup::beer:

Kind of long, but it's just a difficult explanation, please read and try to help me. Thank you.
Okay, so I have a really weird problem, and I can't seem to fix it at all. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my Sprint Motorola Photon Q, and had no problem with data loss, then I flashed PAC Man Rom, and everything went fine and it flashed but then I noticed that I had no data. No 3G, 4G, or 4G LTE, the phone lost network signal, but what was weird is that I could still receive texts and phone calls.
So, then I read that wiping the Dalvik and the regular cache would fix it, and it didn't. Then, I also tried flashing a different ROM which also didn't fix it. I RSD back to stock firmware and the problem was gone. I even tried rerooting and just installing a different ROM but, it still had the same issue, so I just went back to stock again.
Can someone please help me fix this? I've looked everywhere and I can't really find anything to help me out with this.
Thank you in advance.
Is your provider Sprint as well...?
I'm not sure, data works here on custom ROM's... which version are you flashing? Have you tried CM11?
There's some new device unification going on, the newest KK builds are going to be under the "moto_msm8960" device instead of xt897...
No I haven't tried CM11. Where do I find the IMG for it at?
I have Flash Wireless, which is Sprint prepaid. I have tried CM11 and still nothing. I don't understand what is going on....I'm getting real frustrated because I want to put a good custom ROM on my phone....

Perhaps that's the issue. Did you check your APN settings? Is it using Sprint's network?
Hi all, I aren't a new user but have attached my Google account on this log in so....meh.
I understand that from update 4.4.3 and upwards many N5 users experience loss of their mobile network where switching to aeroplane mode then back again is the only way to rectify this? I was fine until I recently swapped to Virgin (UK) which uses the EE network, ever since this my calls go straight to voicemail unless I manually select the provider myself.
I was having a whale of a time with CM11 and only found out this issue after tearing my hair out for a couple of weeks but it is something I cannot have because I need my phone to be available *always* due to issues with my mum. So what I have now done is backdated my system to 4.4.2 which seems to have worked *but* I now get the system update notifications which I have dealt with but I now seem to have messed up the Play Store
Is there any one solution for this problem where I can have everything actually working as it should? 4.4.2 stock seems to run a lot better and seems a lot quicker in all honesty, quicker than even CM11 than is the gods honest truth.
Please help I dearly love this phone and need it to work for personal reasons and I aren't in a position to buy another right now (quit joib to look after mum etc) have I tugged at your heart strings enough yet?
Flash 4.4.4 but flash the 4.4.2 radio then?
On my carrier in Australia, I've never had a single drop issue, on all versions of the radio.
I live in Ohio and my connection is awesome with ATT. The only problem I have with network is my house and church. Lol Everywhere else like work is awesome. I think the network you choose is the major player in this. The phone itself is great on network.

Factory images. Then use fastboot to flash it while in bootloader. Link to tutorials are in the first link of my signature.

To 100 % prove it to myself I did the stock system updates, first to 4.4.3 then to 4.4.4 straight after I rang myself from a landline and it went immediately to voicemail. I then tried to install Cyanfox and that fails on the set up wizard as did liquid
linaro, both using the correct gapps and several versions.
So my next try is an older CM M3 iirc because I think doing the radio thing is a bit beyond my skills Lethargy

As the title states, my bluetooth isn't working on the Stylo after LG Bridge flashing the 10j update. The reason I flashed in the first place is because like most of us I got the phone home and went to root it and the first method soft bricked it. Ended up using LG Bridge and the most up to date kdz from the brick thread and was able to root it using another method. I was wondering 1) has anyone else had this problem with the 10j firmware and 2) if so what have you done to correct it? I rarely use bluetooth so it's not a huge issue but it is a feature I would like to be able to use. Thanks in advance for any help.

that's weird try redoing the KDZ or Reflash using either my Full V10j update/restore or @GameTheory. Full v10j Update,
That GameTheory ROM, I've been wanting to try it but since this is my daily driver I have been hesitant. Any random crashes on that thing? I start vacation after work today so I'll have time to mess around with this thing for almost a week.
Edit: The other one I've been thinking about using is the one by @TURBO2012 to try and stay as stock and stable as possible

Either one of those roms are stable. GameTheory's rom is pre-rooted and exposed is also pre-installed along with an audio program.
Turbo's rom is very lightweight and fast but it's barebones by design.
Either one of these roms are better than stock so you can't go wrong whichever way you choose.
Good deal. I'm somewhat nervous about going so barebones with TURBO but I've heard a LOT of good stuff about it. The GameTheory CM ROM, too. I think I'll end up trying both...

It should work fine, i'm using a t-mobile rom on metro without issue and without changing or doing anything whatsoever.
Worse case scenario you would need to change your apn settings to t-mobile which is simple.
Time to backup and flash then, here's hoping good things await!
Edit: It won't save APN settings and when I try to select a network to register it on I choose T-Mobile RAT:LTE and it comes back and says "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network"
The APN settings I tried are: T-Mobile APN epc.tmobile.com Proxy- blank Username-blank Password-blank Server-blank MMSC http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc MMS Proxy - Not set MMS Port - 80 MCC -310 MNC - 260 Authentication type - not set APN Type - Not set APN Protocol - IPv4/IPv6 Roaming APN Protocol - IPv4
Another update, I re-flashed the ROM from @GameTheory and then I went into the full restore thread by @DrakenFX and flashed the T-Mobile bootstack and everything is currently working wonderfully
Hello everyone,
I have a Galaxy S3 S968C on Straight Talk. I successfully managed to root it by flashing the newest version of TWRP and installing Superuser and so far I have not run into any problems.
But, because Straight Talk does not provide android updates (I'm still on 4.1.2), I'm really hoping to get CyanogenMod working. I've heard that there are some problems with getting the d2vzw version working on the Straight Talk phone, but I've also heard that people are using CM on this phone.
Could anyone who has experience with this phone please give me more details on what problems exist and if there are any solutions??
Thanks!
I was in the same boot as you until yesterday. I managed to install the latest nightly build of CM 12.1 for d2vzw (cm-12.1-20151204-NIGHTLY-d2vzw.zip) okay.
If you want the radio to work, you need a SIM card inserted. If you want mms to work, you need a used de-activated Verizon 4G SIM and you need to edit an existing APN. (A new SIM card will continually dial out trying to activate , so you need a used one)
There's some more about that topic here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516498&page=57
I haven't activated the phone, so I don't know if mms is working for me. But I did try starting that activation process and that proved that the cell radio was working. (use *288 for activation, that's Verizon rather than StraightTalk's *22890)

I haven't played with it too much, but so far, so good. WiFi, Camera, GPS all working okay. Just make a backup of what you have now before flashing CM. That way you really have nothing to lose.

There is Marshmallow CM13 now for d2tfnvzw. Its still a tad buggy but @invisiblek is getting the builds more and more stable. 6.0 OctOS will be coming very soon as well. There is still good stuff for the future for the S3, enjoy it when you get a chance to try it at its most stable.

To all who are curious...im curently running the latest feb nightly marshmallow build on the s968c..after rooting the phone and getting a custom recovery the first thig you wanna do is make a nandroid backup...this have really saved me from bootloops and bad rom images...then if you wanna try the lollipop or marshmallow cm builds you have to have a sim card..im actually using an old att sim card. The oy thing that i dont have working is mms send and recieve. I just havent set the APN's yet.
The workaround for me has jus been to send and recive pic messages on my email acct..and since its the straight talk s3 i get 3G data...when you first boot into the rom or after a reboot go ahead and toggle the airplane mode toggle and let jt sit for lime 2 mins and then toggle it off and it will get the 3g data going. If you dont it will randomly cycle thru roaming/no sim/and 1x data. And i dowloaded google camera from the play store because the front camera stopped taking pics though you could see the picture..this was working but after a nightly update it stopped...like i say google camera works 100%...
Absolutely everything else has been workig and i have found it to be exceptionaly stable..Matter of fact daily driver for me.I have been using the official cm D2VZW nightlies.
Thanks for the information!
Just curious, have you noticed any significant changes in battery life compared to.CM12 or even the original 4.1.2?
Sent from my SCH-S968C using Tapatalk
I have..with 6.0.1 I'm noticing significantly better battery life..its better than stock 4.1.2 and better than cm 12..they have also reinstated the battery setting tile to allow you to select power save/balanced/performance.

Nice! I should definitely try CM13 out soon.
I'm really liking it..I've tried a couple other ROMs like Liquid smooth and hellfire but keep coming back to C.M. lol...I'm really liking the new theme engine as well..
Hi, when u guys said that you have to have a sim card inserted in order to get the radios working(which I'm assuming covers calling, texting, sending mms/pic messages, data, (You get the point) ), are you guys talking about a straight talk byop sim card or a Verizon (3g/4g(I don't know what they use)) sim card?
Thanks
Also, can you use any custom recovery and any custom rom that can be used on the Verizon gs3 version work on this ST gs3 version as well?
Again thanks
I recently tried CM on my phone and I used a sim card from Straight Talk. SMS and calling worked fine, but I couldn't get any data.
I didn't have much time to fiddle with APN settings, so I reverted back to stock. If anyone has more info on getting data to work, I'd like to know.
As for other ROMs and recoveries, I really don't know, I'd assume that some work, but TWRP and CM are the only ones that I've tried.

3G only, ST S3 is not and cannot use 4G, period.
I have no service and no cellular network problem on my N5, running dark rom 7.1.2 aosp, with franco kernel ( never had issues before ), newest radio and bootloader. This started happening when i got my new sim card from my provider and i got 4g signal in my area for the first time. I tried manually selecting radio by going in the hidden menu by entering *#*#4636#*#* and i got lte and full bars signal after selecting band 8 ( 1800 hz ) but only for a minute then it went back to empty triangle. Tried selecting 3g only in preffered network, tried manually selecting provider, tried toggling airplane mode on/off a bunch of times nothing works. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated, i love my N5 very much and i would hate to throw it in a drawer somewhere. Thanks in advance

Were you ever able to get this rectified? I have recently been having this problem as well. I have flashed back to ROMs I was previously using and flashed back to stock to no avail. My SIM card works in other devices as well. I really do not want to have to drop on a new phone, but I have tried every solution I have found online to no avail. I think it's fair to say that I am desperate right now.
edit: I found another thread on XDA that I'm looking into, I'll edit again if it works. I'm unsure how it took me so long to find that thread.
edit2: https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...getting-cdma-networks-to-nougat-roms-t3534679 is the thread that I found useful; I am now running Pure Nexus 7.1.2 with a full connection. Specifically, his second comment about installing 6.0.1 stock, backing up the efs, flashing the desired ROM, then restoring the efs is what ended up fixing it for me.

This morning it's not sticking with Pure Nexus, so I'll be trying DarkRom. I really don't want to use a CAF if I can avoid it, but it may become a necessity. Do people on T-Mobile have this problem?

So I've hit a point where I have 3G and nothing else. I can't yet get LTE to work. I'm using LineageOS CAF. How about yourself?

No luck with aosp by santosh m and pure nexus 7.1.2 , can't even get it to connect. I guess my last hope is caf based i will try lineageos caf. All i need is the efs backup from stock? If i can get it to work with 3g i will be satisfied because i did some digging and found out that my network provider which is Vip MK has no lte support for nexus 5 d820 ( my model ) only 3g, but i can't even connect with 3g selected. I guess because this one is for US frequencies it will not work whatever i try but i will give lineageos caf a chance.

I was able to get 3G only to work on my Nexus 5 by reflashing the EFS from 6.0.1; I'm trying right now to see if I can install PureNexus 6.0.1 then dirty flash to PureNexus 7.1.2 with any success. Also, I might just switch to T-Mobile, but I have to wait until later this week for that.
Hi,
LTE band 8 is not in 1800 MHz but first of all you can check your N5 model - US model is D820 and is not supported for LTE on 1800 MHz (band 3). For 1800 Mhz band you need D821 model.
Regards,

To clarify that:
You had the problem with not recognizing the sim or having no service at all. And you solved this by flashing the sstock 6.0.1 backing up the efs, flashing to Pure Nexus 7.1.2 and restoring the efs immediatley after flashing the rom (+kernel+root+etc)?
This solves this mysterious no sim/no service bug, which many (?) N5 owners experience? If this is true, I'd be really happy

It didn't stick. After I lost it I was unable to get it back. I gave up and switched to T-Mobile, where it is no longer a problem. Apologies for not having more testing information. I was able to get solely 3G on multiple instances, but getting the elusive 4G was beyond me.
I've had this problem before in two nexus, one of them running latest stock and the other a customized ROM. I tried to flash a stock ROM image in both of them with no luck. I was pretty sure that the image I was flashing was the latest, so the radio & bootloader should be flashed to the latest versions. But it didn't worked.
Finally I found on a XDA thread where someone was posting only the latest bootloader & radio to flash. I did it with NRT (in Advanced Utilities) and it worked:

I can't remember or find the thread, so I post the images here:
- Bootloader-hammerhead-hhz20h.img
- Radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.2.30.img
I think I had to flash them twice because the first time it wasn't right, but there were 4 months since then and still no failure

Thanks for your input. I'll check that when I have some time. This is really weird as it looks like a hardware problem but if you can fix it with this method it's clearly a software issue...
best regards
