RingPlus provisioning on Cyanogenmod - Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE

hey guys,
I'm currently running CM13 nightlies and want to do a clean install without flashing over my current setup. is there any way i can retain my provisioning while flashing a new cm build? i tried wiping and installing a new nightly build. everything booted fine, but the phone was not provisioned. even after flashing mvno slayer, the phone wouldn't register to the network.
I have to flash back to stock and then flash cm if I want a fresh install?

Provisioning *should* persist through flashes... unless you're changing providers.
I was able to get my device provisioned for Sprint on stock when I used it, and then was able to flash any ROM I wanted. Never needed to go back to stock, but I always stayed on Sprint.

technically it's ringplus (updated title), but I don't think being an MVNO makes the process any different. So if I wiped and flashed a new CM build but couldn't get the phone to register, what can I do? Trying to avoid going through the whole process of RSDlite back to stock and starting from complete scratch...

I'm not following - was it working before, and the act of updating the ROM to a newer build of CM broke the provisioning?
Never heard of that before, but have you considered it's the update? Have you tried restoring a backup? You do have a backup...?

Yes, everything was working fine. I wipe, then flash a new build of CM, but it doesn't register with the network. Restoring my backup has everything working again. It's just that the rom has been quite sluggish and I wanted a fresh start. I don't know if it was always like this or because of an app. That's why I'm starting over

Just try to clean wipe the working ROM, see if that works.
If it does, I'd say that update of CM is the issue.

Did you ever find a solution? I am having the same problem. If I install the latest CM 13 the phone no longer connects to the cell network. Stupidly, I did not do any backup, so the only option I have to go back to the stock ROM. With the stock ROM the phone connects to to the network with no problem.

What about flashing an older build of CM13?
What were you running before you flashed the latest CM13?

To answer your questions, I was running CM13 I can't find older builds of CM13 that work. The only ones I find are relatively new.
I managed to get voice to work. I still don't have data. These are the steps I took. I am not sure all of them are necessary. But at least now voice is working.
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Click on the 3 vertical dot menu on top right
Select Radio Band -> PCS (1900 MHZ)
Back button <|
Set Preferred Network Type to LTE/CDMA (auto PRL)
Back button <|
Back Button <|
Settings -> Cellular Network Settings ->Preferred Network Type -> CDMA+LTE/EVDO
Settings -> Cellular Network Settings->CDMA subscription -> NV
Reboot

OK, now I got 3G data.
I changed
Settings -> Cellular Network Settings ->Preferred Network Type -> CDMA/EVDO/GSM/WCDMA
Reboot
Now if I could only get 4G without losing voice I'd be all set. Little by little...
---------- Post added at 05:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 AM ----------
If I go to Settings -> Cellular Network Settings ->Access Point Names, I get a message that says "APN settings are not available for this user". Is that normal? I seem to remember I had a list of APNs.

I've got the exact same problem with the CM13 nightlies on Ting. I've tried a bunch of them all the way back to April and can't get LTE to work on any of them.
If I go back to the stock ROM, it works fine. If I go back to CM11, it works fine.
I don't know if its related or not, but in the SatStat app, it shows a bunch of dashes under LTE and some long numbers like 21474 83647. This line disappears and reappears every few seconds while the app is open.

If it works in CM11 but not CM13, then something changed... Please submit logs to the CM maintainer (radio logs will probably be necessary). Of course make sure the correct settings have been applied.

Following this procedure allowed me to use Voice, SMS MMS and internet (both 3G and 4G) on PAC-ROM and builds of Cyanogen Mod up to and including 12.1. I have not tried 13.

Net10 APN Settings?
I am giving you how I went from point A to B in this post. My next post will be the correct settings for my new Sprint mvno: Net10.
After getting voice, data, sms and mms working in the rooted stock ROM, I install the xposed framework for Android 4. Reboot
Open Play store and install "Hidden Android Settings" and "NoHiddenPasswords". NoHiddenPasswords is an xposed tool, but does not show up if you do a search in the xposed manager app. Open xposed and Enable NoHiddenPasswords. Reboot.
Back-up your tweaked Stock ROM with TWRP.
Install Cyanogen. When Cyanogen boots up, go to Settings-"Mobile Networks", my educated guess is that the settings for
Data enabled
Data Roaming unchecked
Battery Saving Mode unchecked
Preferred network type: CDMA+LTE/EvDo
System select - set roaming mode to Home Only
Set CDMA subscription to NV
I can at least confirm those work with the two mvno's I have used: Red Pocket & Net10.
The first thing I tried was to the same settings as I showed in my prior post.
I tried changing 8.e. to ##########@net10.sprintpcs.com. Then I tried ##########@sprintpcs.com. Neither of those worked, so I knew I needed to find the value using some tool in the Stock ROM. I googled Android APN settings app, and found "Hidden Android Secrets". It has a APN settings viewer. When I looked at the ones in my phone, I saw some password fields that it would not show me without the help of NoHiddenPasswords.
Then I used Notepad++ on my laptop to copy the information shown in each access point in the stock rom on my phone. I did a new tab for each access point.
It seemed pretty obvious that at least 8e would need changed.
I tried changing 8e to ##########@net10.sprintpcs.com
I then tried ##########@sprintpcs.com
Voice works & SMS worked, but no data nor MMS over 4g.
I notice that none of the access points in my stock ROM has any reference to n.r6.ispsn. There is one with an APN n.t9.ispsn. That is very similar so I changed 8.b. to that. Miracle, I now have LTE data!
Unfortunately, though, the MMS is till not working over LTE.
In my stock ROM, there is one and only one APN with APN Type: default,mms
BTW, there is no space after the comma in the stock ROM, so I changed that.
I merged its values into my APN.
This did not kill my data; so, I tried sending and receiving MMS. Tada, that's it.

[ROM][2.3.7]Compiled CM7 for Infuse - Nightly Builds

UDATE: Uberamd has a nightly build system up now. Read on for the link to it!
Since uberamd stopped updating his semi-nightly builds of CyanogenMod 7 for Infuse back in November, I kind of took it upon myself to post updates to his thread. Well, it's up to 82 pages and it's getting pretty cluttered. As such, here's a new thread that I'll keep updated with CM7 builds for Infuse.
Now, the most important thing I want everybody to remember is that LinuxBozo is the man when it comes to CM7 for the Infuse. Uberamd is the man behind the nightly compiles and build system. Credit for development should go to them and other Infuse developers, as well as to the CyanogenMod developers.
I've been using CM7 on my phone for months now, and I can say that it's completely worthy of being a daily driver for me. The only thing that doesn't work fully is Bluetooth, and since that's mostly just the audio stuff (which I don't use anyway), I consider this to be a complete ROM. Your mileage and needs will, of course, vary. Having said that, keep in mind this is NOT an official CM7 build.
Directions for flashing (shamelessly copied from uberamd's post):
Ensure you have both root and CWM. See the reference post if you do not have both of these.
Copy ROM .ZIP to SD card
Shut phone off. Hold Vol Up + Vol Down and Power on device
Wipe Data and Cache (Wiping data will remove your installed applications and settings. You have been warned!)
Flash CM7 zip
Reboot. You will get stuck at Samsung screen. This is normal.
Pull battery, and reboot into recovery (Hold: VOL+ VOL- Power)
You should now be in ORANGE -OR- BLUE CWM
Go to "mounts and storage"
Select format /system
Reflash CM7 zip
Don't forget Google Apps as well. You can get the gapps easily using Rom Manger -> Download ROM -> Scroll down to Google Apps). Google Apps download link is also at the bottom of this post
Reboot into CM7 goodness, made possible by LinuxBozo
Please remember that I am only compiling and uploading this ROM. For changes to CyanogenMod, view the changelog or LinuxBozo's CM7 source post. PLEASE search that thread and this one before posting. There are a great many questions and answers at both places, and odds are your question has already been answered. Searching is your friend, and your responsibility!
Every time you flash an update, you will have to flash Google Apps. I recommend keeping this on your SD card at all times so you can just flash it after you flash an update.
Nightly Builds: http://stevemorrissey.com/android/roms/infuse4g/CM7/
Google Apps: http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
Google Apps Mirror: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
SD Card Settings:
By default CM7 will mount your internal SD card as /emmc and the external SD card as /mnt/sdcard. Since this is not how any other ROM works, and since it's probably not the preferred behavior, you will likely want to change this. You do so by going into the CyanogenMod settings under Application and checking the "Use internal storage" box.
Single APN Settings:
I got this from a thread in general a while back, and it's always worked perfectly for me. This will keep your data connection from bouncing in and out and will also allow you to get MMS.

Please let me know if there's anything you think I missed in this post. I'll be keeping it updated and I want it to have the most relevant and useful information possible.
The only problem I am still having is data dropout when opening the market. The market has been updated to the most current one.
I cant find the specific post about how to do an apn fix, but if anyone can either link me to that or instruct me on how to fix that it would be greatly appreciated because I love this rom.
thanks

I modestly undervolt my phone, and I have fantastic battery life. That's always been the case with CM on my phones. Consistently better than anything else I've tried, and I've tried lots (as I'm sure anybody here can imagine!)

Do a fix permissions through CWM yet? Did you restore anything other than apps with Titanium Backup or anything? I know that's been known to cause problems in other CM builds.

Did you backup/restore your apps with TiBu? You have to be careful how you restore them or you will get FC's.

Hmm. After I flashed most of my apps were still on my phone. Now that I check, I'm getting FCs on almost all of them.
How do I just wipe the slate clean? Load CM7 onto a fresh system?

If you flashed CM10 you shouldn't be seeing "MMS protocol" setting when adding the APN. One question did you dial *#*#4636#*#* and selected LTE,GSM,CDMA only option after you added the APN?

Great! And if you want to make it permanent reboot into recovery and make a backup of your setup. Wipe everything minus system. Then flash a sense ROM wait for it to acquire lte and reboot to recovery again do a factory reset only and restore the backup of cm10 and you should have lte even after you reboot.

[AOKP] Cellular Data Not Working

Hey there, first post and the search function wasn't working so if this problem has been posted elsewhere just let me know.
I just flashed the Sept. 28 AOKP for the A2 along with 4.3 GAPPs and everything seems to be working swimmingly...
Except the mobile data.
I've enabled and disabled data, enabled and disabled airplane mode. Reflashed the firmware and GAPPs and still the data doesn't seem to want to work. I'm getting 5 full bars and for whatever reason it just won't connect.
Anybody else had issues like this?

I've enabled and disabled data, enabled and disabled airplane mode. Reflashed the firmware and GAPPs and still the data doesn't seem to want to work. I'm getting 5 full bars and for whatever reason it just won't connect.
Anybody else had issues like this?

You have to manually put in the APN 's for the ROM
Goto system settings mobile networks Access Point Names and manually input the settings depending upon your carrier the setting will differ...
Google your carrier specific APN settings and input them it should do the trick....:laugh:

Virgin Mobile PRL Disappears From Custom ROM [Motorola Moto G 2015]

When flashing the Motorola Moto G 2015 with any custom ROM (Cyanogenmod, Resurrection Remix, Lineage), the PRL information sticks until a reboot from custom ROM.
When rebooting, the phone has internet access (including Hotspot), however no text messages, inbound/outbound phone calls do not work. The fix has been flashing Virgin Mobile stock ROM in TWRP recovery, programming the phone (##72786#) and then restoring a backup from custom ROM via TWRP recovery. Then the phone will again be able to send/receive text messages and phone calls - until the next reboot.
Would like to know if there is a fix to bypass reflashing stock ROM if phone needs rebooting from custom ROM. This process takes about 15 - 20 minutes. Big nuisance.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Copy this APN (see the attachments), to system/etc and set permissions to 0644 or rw-r--r-- with a root explorer. Reboot. Go to settings>more>cellular networks, select LTE in Preferred network type, and RUIM/SIM in system select. Tap the "carrier settings" option at the very bottom. All the radios will reset and come back on in a few seconds, and everything should work after that. Let me know if you need any more assistance, I'll be happy to help. I've had to deal with this issue since day one.
Edit; You will only have to do this after flashing a ROM, and this includes updates too. It can also be done through TWRP's file manager immediately after flashing before you even boot it the first time, and without root.

Cyanogenmod 12.1 does not have the menu - settings>more>cellular networks. Is this done via stock ROM?
Also, don't have RUIM/SIM in system select. Only 'Home Only' and 'Automatic'.

Try rebooting the ROM without your sim card in. Then put it back and reboot once more. It should reset. I didn't realize you were still using cm12. Those settings are only found in 6.0.1 and up. The apn settings not being visible has something to do with us being CDMA. I think it's the sim cards virgin uses.
You also need to add these lines to the end of your build.prop too. (Not needed on MM+)
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=311490
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Virgin Mobile US
ro.telephony.default_network=8
telephony.slteOnCdmaDevice=1

While waiting for your reply, I copied the APNS-Conf.xml file attached to your original reply to the system/etc folder on phone and rebooted. Inbound/outbound phone calls and text messages seem to be working now. Even performed a backup in TWRP and then rebooted again. All seems to be operating properly.
I did not add the build-prop text you gave in previous reply. What exactly does this build-prop text do? I'm hesitant in adding it as everything is operational - the old saying 'don't fix what isn't broken'.
I was using Cyanogenmod 13, however, I did not like some of the Cyanogenmod 13 apps, i.e., text messaging app. The Cyanogenmod 12.1 texting app has many features that CM 13 doesn't. Also, CM 12.1 seemed to run smoother on the Motorola Moto G 2015 phone I'm currently using.
Also would be interested in knowing where the apns-conf.xml file was pulled from and what all this file did to make everything work again.
FYI, as standard procedure I always mount system and then flash the Virgin Mobile APNFix (which I've attached for anyone running across this thread in need of this file) in TWRP after flashing a new ROM and associated GAPPS , however, it seems that the apns-conf.xml file became corrupt/unusable somewhere along the line.
Your efforts in helping me solve this issue are appreciated.

If everything is working properly, then don't worry about adding those lines. I had to add those and the apn to get LTE working on the older test builds of cm12. As far as I know, it just locks you to virgin. It was likely fixed in later builds of cm12.
The APN I pulled from an older build of cm13. When flashing the older ones, the install process would locate and copy virgin's current apn to /system/etc and rename Motorola's default APN to .bak. (The giant 500kb+ APN with all the carriers found in stock.) It would also add a US Cellular APN. I discovered at some point from poking around enough, that deleting the .bak and US Cellular APNs got LTE working if I reset the radio afterwards.

This is a nice and informative thread for anyone that has the same issues that you and I have had with Virgin Mobile APN's. Hopefully it will be added to Google searches soon.
Appreciate all the help.

Showing 4g On Sprint
Pictures
good news for Sprint users
What's the point of SprintDM and Carrier Provisioning Service if 4G relies on a Modem & APN? The world may never know.
Thanks for this, now Fi users can also get full Sprint access (if they need it).

The verdict is out on whether this works for FI at the moment. Currently it's a guide for straight sprint. If someone gets this working with FI, please post
This doesn't work on Project FI because APN settings are disabled by the Project FI app.

I have an idea for fi, give me a few and I'll post my suggestion. On the road at a red light lol
EDIT: Working on my idea now
If someone with FI, on a lineage base (or GSI) having issues with FI days could PM me, I have an idea I'd like tried before I post it.
Message sent I'm interested in being guinea pig.
Sorry, been sick the past couple days. I got a fi sim, and tried it out. Didn't work
I switched to project fi, this fix does work.
Tried this fix for the GSI 9.0 ROM, using Project FI. Everything else seems to work just fine. Keep getting the message about SprintDM stopping anytime I try to connect to Sprint. Either through Fi Activation or using dialer codes. Anyone else have the same issue?

Yes, Sprint will only connect to 3G as well, logcat said something about missing a Java file ( or class), the file is there so I'm going to open Java file and see if I can figure anything out, don't expect much from me though.

Sprint doesn't even connect on 3g for me, as soon as it tries to connect with Sprint, I get the SprintDM.apk has closed error. Then it switches over to Tmo. I wouldn't even really mind if Tmo worked at all in my area. Hate to go back to stock just for Sprint lol. I was going to attempt to maybe replace the SprintDM.apk in the system files. I noticed the one in there has a build date from 1969.
Not sure if that even matter, might trip up some kind of security. Like when the date on Windows is set incorrectly? Just guessing. Going to stick with the Wi-Fi/Tmo service as long as I can, don't want to end the Pie love affair yet.

I was trying that, it won't install because it's a system app and the uid (not sure on the actual error) is mismatched. Looking it up online suggested either editing manifest xml or clearing odex file from priv app, which I couldn't find a way to do successfully.

I'm just sticking with T-Mobile and Wifi for now. Don't want to go back to 8.1 after using 9. Maybe someone will have a fix eventually, I'm sure that's more likely than Moto actually releasing Pie this year.
Anymore information on if this works with Project Fi? I am on Project Fi and would like to run Lineage but went back to stock for the fact that my data for Sprint and US Cellular were not working. I had to leave my phone on T-Mobile all the time which is not optimal where I drive and live. I need my phone to be able to get data in remote locations through the different carriers. I ran LOS 15.1 Unofficial, Official and LOS 16 Unofficial. None of them had mobile data on Sprint or US Cellular. Only T-Mobile. I tried installing SprintDM in system to no avail.
A thought, I have had Fi since beginning. Now with US Cellular added, it's a must for my area of coverage. I live in a remote (cell wise) area and only US Cellular works. So my Moto X4 is stock until Pie updates for all above reasons. On my Nexus 5X I could not use any Lineage based roms because of the Sprint/Fi problem. From What I have found Lineage went from complete ASOP to some else after 14.X for certain system based files for carriers. Especially Sprint APN's. My knowledge is limited on how or why. Even with my returned Pixel 2 and now Pixel (unlocked Verizon) I have to stay with Google based app+apk's roms to have ALL Fi Carriers switching with out problems. I still can't use Lineage based roms + apks to get Carrier switching to work on my Pixel. So can somebody figure out how to still use original Moto X4 Fi App packages? That may fix it.
I have all 3 networks working with 4G on my phone on the latest version of LOS 16. I had to add in some files I pulled from the latest Pixel 3 Rom. I'm not sure if all the files I grabbed are needed since I'm not an expert by any means but what I added seemed to get all three networks working.
I haven't had much chance to test auto switching because I'm generally always on T-Mo.
I also flashed the NON-HLOS.bin from the latest stock rom as well following the instructions in OP's post. I didn't bother creating the apn.
After rebooting I cleared the data for the project-fi app and let the service re-activate.
Not sure if it matters but I also have the stock gapps package installed.
I'll attach the files I used showing the paths where I copied the files to. I just overwrote whichever files were already there. I would make a twrp zip to install these files but I'm not sure how to do that if someone else wants to take a crack at it feel free.
