i really like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...t/rom-sprint-ok4-stock-tar-file-odin-t3262667 but there have been updates since then that add security the OK4 has actually improved LTE and general signal for me.
I have one I'm working on, it boots but I keep getting a fc with car mode.

I'm currently on a custom kernel and rom for 4.3 but I'm having terrible battery life and I'm tired of flashing new roms to get the same result. As for some of my friends that have a verizon S3 phone, they get better battery life and don't have all the problems that I continue to have.
Is there a way to go back to complete stock and let my phone do the OTA update and not have to worry about this phone anymore?
I know I must sound crazy for wanting my phone to go back to normal, but I'm tired of having all the problems and trying to find new roms to have them fail on me, even though everyone else seems to be having good luck with them.
So again I'm a Verizon S3 on 4.3, Baseband VRUCML1. Ktoonz kernel on CleanRom 8
So, I'm buying this to replace my evo 4g and I was wondering how I would go about using a custom ROM for this and having the apns and data working correctly.
I plan to activate it on Ting.
To be a bit clearer, I want to use a custom ROM and I want to be sure that it'll work. So first, can anyone on Ting confirm that they're running a custom ROM (preferably KitKat) with no problems?
And I assume I'd have to activate the phone first, then install a custom ROM. Would I have any problems doing that? Would the apns be messed up? Or should everything be fine as long as I activate the phone and update everything on stock before installing a ROM? Reason I ask is because I know some Roms don't allow the *#*# thing needed to activate a phone on a new network.
Thanks!
I am using mine on Ting. I had used my first Q as unrooted stock JB, which worked pretty well for a year, but then it reached a near--bricked state where it wouldn't boot past the yellow Sprint screen. I couldn't resolve this in a timely fashion, so wound up buying a second Q which runs stock ICS, but failed to download the stock JB update.
In the meantime, I unlocked both phones' bootloaders, and tried a few kItkat ROMs on my original phone before settling on CM 10.2, which is a JB ROM. I then switched my Ting activation (back) to this phone. The lack of #*# commands isn't really a problem with respect to re-activation, but it is a problem with respect to PRLs and (perhaps) APNs. I recommend Ting activation and a PRL update prior to installing your custom ROM.
Like others, I would like to learn about a stable kitkat ROM where bluetooth, wifi, and phone data/sms/calling all work reliably. My other primary requirement is the ability to play DRM'd downloaded Amazon Prime Music, which didn't work on the kitkat ROMs I tried, but does work on my JB ROM.

Guys, I've been all over the site the past couple days reading posts and I haven't figured out if what I'm trying to do is possible I just flashed my first custom ROM - Gummy - KitKat 4.4.4 on my GS3 Virgin Mobile. All is fine but I have very weak cell reception - 1 bar most the time. I saw on some posts that it's hard or impossible to update PRL/Profile on AOSP ROMs. Which is it? Do I really have to flash back to stock and update then flash back to custom ROM? Is there a way to fix this issue without doing all of that?
Hello!
I am currently rooted and running the latest COI5 firmware. My signal quality has greatly reduced since upgrading to this firmware. I have attempted to Odin the BOH6 modem/radio file. Once doing so, I get an X on the signal, and baseband version shows "unknown." I then Odin the COI5 modem and I have service back, crappy service, but service never the less. When I have BOH6, I would have LTE, now I have H+. With BOH6 I would have H+ in some areas, now I have EDGE.
Anyone have a suggestion on how I can get back to BOH6 and/or how I can make my service better?
I was trying to play Madden and I keep getting kicked for not having a network connection when it fluctuates from LTE to H+ to UMTS to EDGE.
Thanks!

Not sure what the cause of your issue is but this is what happened to me. Since I rooted I've been running jovy23's stock modified deodexed ROM. Jovy's ROM does not include the modem so when I updated from BOH6 to COI5 I was using BOH6 baseband for a day. When I got home that night and updated to the COI5 modem I had no network connection at all until I toggled WIFI on & off.
My network connection is working just fine on COI5. I personally can't tell a difference from BOH6. I haven't seen anything other than the LTE & 4G symbols since I got this phone. I know I'm not helping much but just wanted to share.

I appreciate your response.
It just seems that in my area, I'm receiving much weaker signal reception with COI5.
A trick that worked on older models is to flash via odin, however uncheck the option to auto restart. Instead manually power down the phone then reboot straight back into download mode and flash again.

I'll have to try that when I get home from work.
Thanks!

Tried it. Same thing. Crap.
Thanks for the tip though!
This rom works well except for the following: (any help is appreciated, while waiting for Lineage os 13)
Wi-Fi will not turn on, so I have been forced to use LTE, not that I'm worried about data usage. Though my Fiber at home is much faster.
Apps fail to download or fail to update. I'm guessing this might have to do with mass use of LTE data restrictions on trying to update.
@jpenberthy, ive only had this phone for a month im building a custom stock rom its not my first , but its heavily tweaked and modded i also had troubles when installing the other roms so im at it doin it again heres the link check it out https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3584649
