[FIX][ Sprint VVM ]

Hey guys
This should fix the Sprint visual voice mail on some roms.
Zip files below are
Sprint VVM Fix.rar
Are the files you need to merge with your rom and do a fresh flash.
update.zip
This will should work ( if you can reprovision your phone. )
For sense roms after you install the update via recovery and reboot,
you need to dial ##786# go to menu/reset and enter your MSL number.
Non sense roms you may need to call sprint and have them reprovision
Your phone. Remember this still may not work with your particular Rom !
oh yea, the little counter still doesnt show over the widget
on how many voice mails are un heard, working on that!
show some love and hit the thanks button.

Dude, totally works on MIUI

Sprint VVM has always worked on MIUI.. just have a titanium backup of Voicemail with at least one stored message on it and back it up. Then restore on your fresh MIUI install.. Go into phone settings and change your voicemail number from *86 to your actual phone number.. done..

does it work with boostmobile too?

Why/how did this thread just get moved from the Themes and Apps subforum to Dev forum?
Not hatin. Just dont understand why it moved.

It was, until about 2 months ago. Then it would provision, maybe work for a day (This is by flashing it in GAPPS) then stop working.
This method seems to work fine right from first Boot after flashing the ROM

Tried every fix to get visual voicemail to work on my MIUI ROM but get the 'Unable to play message' error every time. I want to give this fix a try but need to know how would I go about merging these files into the ROM? Any help I'd greatly appreciate

I have the files broken down as to where they would go inside the Rom,
Open up your rom up with either 7zip, or winrar, navigate to the \system\bin folder
open up the zip file I posted the same way, and drag the 3 files from inside the bin folder to inside your roms bin folder,
now do the same with the file inside system\app folder, move that file inside your roms system\app folder,
say yes to any prompts of do you want to add these files to the zip, that may pop up!
Also remove any older versions of Sprints VVM that may be in your rom
Close off 7zip, or winrar, and re flash your rom.
After your phone starts up for the first time, go in to apps and light it up for the first time,
it will set its self up, and you should be able to view micsausages after that!
I'm having this moved over to themes and software side of the forum.

Well I'm glad it was here for a while, since I rarely go to the themes section

I appreciate you taking the time to give me a step-by-step guide to get this working. I'm an owner of a Mac so will see if using the built in zip/unzip feature will work. Also I have everything else working perfectly and don't know if I want to reflash the ROM to have to setup everything again. Was anyone able to make this fix a flashable file yet by any chance?

I posted a flashable zip file on the op
but you will need to reprovision your phone for this to work,
once you flash via recovery and reboot, you would need to dial ##786# menu/reset and enter your MSL number.

Yes HipKat, how'd you get this fix to work on MIUI? (Oh btw lionedas I'm a she )

I'm running EnergyROM 2/6/2012.
I tried every fix in that thread and this one to get Sprint VVM working and nothing worked. It has something to do with VVM setting itself up when the phone hasn't been provisioned correctly or something related to that. Steps #6 and #7 below are not possible in EnergyROM that I can tell.
This is what I did (took ~15 minutes, after 2 days of f*&^ing with it):
1) nandroid everything on my phone.
2) Boot into recovery
3) Flash FreshROM -- this has a baseline working VVM.
4) Boot clean, setup, but DO NOT launch VVM
5) Settings... Update PRL
6) Settings... System Update
7) Launch VVM and verify it works.
8) Do not update VVM
9) Do a complete Titanium backup of VVM (w/data)
10) Boot into recovery
11) Restore everything from nandroid in step #1
12) Reboot normally
13) Use Titanium to COMPLETELY delete VVM (w/data)
14) Use Titanium to restore VVM backup (w/data) from step #9
Ben

I should add... the above fixed VVM for me.

Has anyone tried this yet, not sure if it will work but its woth a try.
its my vvm backup but with my info removed, you might be able to just add your info to the file and then do the backup.
Someone give this a try.
with the titanium backup I posted below edit it for your info,
use open archive from in 7zip. find com.coremobility.app.vnotes-20111231-152250.tar.gz
navigate to data\data\com.coremobility.app.vnotes\shared_pref
take out just cmconfigstring.xml and edit it
edit all the parts I removed with my info, and replace them with your info,
parts to look for in cmconfigstring.xml that I removed are
>username only, No @sprintpcs.com<
>your 10 digit #<
>[email protected]<
>10 digit MSID<
there are like 5 or maybe 6 places to look for
do not leave spaces, and or dashes inside it should look like this >6165551212< and >username01< and >[email protected]<
save file and place back in, say yes to 7zip saving,
place the entire titanium folder on your sd card, and do a backup of voicemail app, install the Sprint vvm 5.1.60 from below, and before you start it try and do a backup of data only.
please post any results.

I did the first step. Copied the files to the ROM before I flashed it, then when I got booted, opened VVM, it checked account successfully then sent myself a msg and it came right through

[Depreciated]Boost Stylo 5.1.1 ZV5 Custom Rom v1

I personally Tested this
Attention if you try this and end up with a brick or your device transforms and tries to destroy you; it's not my fault you did this not me. So just read all of this thread not just the O.P (and read the O.P more then once) to get out of a bind if you reply with "the thread is too long i wont read it please help" don't expect anything short of "there's a search bar use it"
Okay well now, you must be on ZV5 in order to use this system.img
since we of the Boost LG G Stylo don't have the privilege of TWRP because of a pesky locked bootloader and now real way around it....i have edited and tested this stock ZV5 System.img
the things it comes with is Busybox installed (you still need to download the app)
Viper4Android working without having to disable SELinux
rooted and debloated (for the most part)
edited build.prop
Make sure you have a Windows PC
Download the LG Drivers from here
Download this rooted-ZV5-system.img
Place downloaded img to your external SD via adapter or through your phone
Now place SD back into your phone
Reboot your device into download mode
Download this folder and unzip it to your desktop:
Run ports.bat from within the extracted folder, to find your correct port (use the one with: LGVZANDNETDIAG1)
In the LG_Root folder hold shift and right click and choose open command windows here
Type
Code:
Send_Command.exe \\.\COM3
(Make sure your COM port number is correct, it varies)
Type
Code:
dd if=/storage/external_SD/rooted-ZV5-system.img bs=8192 seek=42816 count=327680 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
you will see a flashing _ line instead of the # let it do it's thing you will know it finished when the # shows back up
Type
Code:
LEAVE
and press enter and let your device reboot

Thanks thats what I went with a few hours ago, worked just fine ive been linking the apps through Link2SD now.

Is there an actual features list? I see you said debloated and build.prop edits, I was just wondering what it was exactly that was removed and what edits you did? I just used your root method today on my boost stylo 5.1.1 and it went perfectly! I want to use this too, but don't want to mess anything up. DO I need to factory reset or anything first? Or do I just follow the instructions in the OP? Thanks for all your hard work dude.
EDIT: Did you ever upload V2? Should I just use your guide for adding xposed? There probably isn't much different than a stock img I am guessing?

{GUIDE} Flashing the SM-935U firmware onto your Verizon S7 Edge and Rooting

Alright here is a guide to installing the unlocked S7 Edge firmware onto your Verizon S7 edge. I will also be giving some tips on setting up specific parameters to get the best battery and performance towards the end of this guide. A list of credits for all the folks who actually discovered and wrote about all these topics will be at the end of the guide as well. All credit goes to those guys!!!!
I am not responsible for anything that occurs to your phone. Period. Use this Guide at your own risk.
Part 1: Installing the 935U firmware
WARNING: YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA ON YOUR PHONE (except SD card)! BACKUP EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU START THIS PROCESS.
Before you start, make sure you have the Samsung phone USB drivers installed. If you do not have them installed ODIN will not recognize your phone. Here is a link to the drivers installation package: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...G_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.45.00.exe
Note: I personally had success with this version of Odin: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6a2xg2frrin92o6/odin_3.12.3.rar?dl=0 (MD5 - 9C878DB69273148F01910D1CBCB1ABBD)
However another user couldn’t get it to work and used this version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hfe8zn2adnwdtuw/ODIN .zip?dl=0 (MD5 - 136E707B39C2E4CDC47820C68065CD5C)
How to install:
Step 1. Put your phone in download mode. You do this by having the phone off and pressing the power button, the home button, and the volume down button at the same time, holding them until the download screen comes up. Sometimes there will be a prompt that says press the home button to continue to download mode. In that case press the home button as well.
Step 2. Flash the 4 files in this zip (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24588212152304771)(MD5 - BB4D013B3B6D7638484A4B0F56953BFA) to your phone using Odin, all 4 of them at the same time. Unzip the files into the folder that contains your ODIN installation, or a folder where they are easy to find. Open up ODIN and put the BL file in the BL slot, AP file in the AP slot, and so on. Then flash all 4 at once.
I have flashed the U firmware multiple times in experimentation and at one point the flash failed. I simply forced the phone to reboot into download mode (by the normal method listed above) and tried reflashing. It went through just fine. So don't panic, just retry.
Part 2: Rooting the U firmware
NOTE: This guide is mostly taken from an excellent guide already made by @Argyrus. The only reason I am posting it here is to keep the flow of the overall guide together.
First off download these files (https://www.dropbox.com/s/x4yymhbthn6nmqp/Root Files.zip?dl=0) and extract all the files to one main folder. Make sure all the files that are in the "SuperSU-v2.76-S7QC" folder are moved to the main folder.
- Folder named "SuperSU-v2.76-S7QC" contains the SuperSU and thing needed to root the phone
- ADB Setup EXE called "adb-setup-1.4.3.exe", needed to install ADB and the Drivers
- Special patched Odin that skips the SHA 225 called Odin PrinceComsy.exe (Mainly for AT&T) including an .ini file named "Odin3.ini"
- file named "Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR", this is the engBoot for the phone that will allow rooting
NOTE: Some users have experienced endless boot loop; this seems to be caused by using a package disabler that disabled certain services. If you used one and end up getting an endless boot loop try wiping the cache and factory reset the phone.
1. Install ADB by running adb-setup-1.4.3.exe (select YES to all options, especially system wide ADB)
2. Make sure to put your phone into downloading mode (Power off--- Hold Down arrow + Home + Power button)
3. Open up Odin and click AP and mount Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR, then flash it
4. Once restarted put the phone into USB debugging mode, if it is not already enabled (need Developer options for this)
4b. To get developer mode, go to "About" then tap "build number" about 6 or 7 times
4c. Go back to settings and you should now see developer options, turn on USB debugging
5. Now back on your PC, double click on the file called "root.bat" (it should be in the main folder with ALL the other files, aka no subfolders)
6. Wait for the CMD to finish and then your phone should restart
7. Once your phone has finally restarted you will notice that SuperSU was installed and root should be working, download root checker to find out for yourself.
Part 3: Implementing all the Verizon specific fixes (enable Verizon volte, fix wifi password saving issues, doze issues, cpu issues, VVM, etc.)
1. Download the Verizon s7 edge fix zips (there are two zips that will be flashed together in a certain order) (File 1 - http://dl.psouza4.com/android/S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip)(File 2 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591023225178488)
2. Use Flashfire (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.flash&hl=en) to flash both zips, keep the standard options that are already selected in Flashfire. Arrange the zips so that S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip is flashed first, and Verizon_VVM_Volte_Wifi_Calling_G935U_Fix.zip is flashed second. It will auto reboot after flashing both files.
3. Profit
Also it is always a good idea to change all the animation speeds to .5, which you can find under the developer options. This speeds up the phone visually, providing for a faster user experience.
Part 4: Setting up xposed and additional battery life saving tools (optional)
These are some steps that I have taken to see great battery life results. Feel free to try them out and see if they work for you.
1. Install xposed using Flashfire (only use the modified xposed zip below or else you will have serious issues)
Here is the modified xposed zip to flash through Flashfire (https://www.dropbox.com/s/67aujyog5...arm64-custom-build-by-wanam-20160709.zip?dl=0)
Note: It takes a while to boot after flashing this due to the cache rebuild. Do not panic, let it do its thing.
Also you will need to install the Xposed apk to be able to use Xposed: (https://www.dropbox.com/s/euqp5ofg32gjspj/XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk?dl=0)
2. Install Greenify (xposed module) and enable all the additional features (donate only), including aggressive doze. Add any apps that are running in the background that seem to be battery hogs and enable auto-hibernation.
I also went through the system files and removed or froze any Samsung files I did not want with Titanium. But that's just a personal preference of mine, I'm OCD about files I have enabled on my phone lol.
Note: By request I have posted screenshots of all the files I have frozen, as well as a screenshot of all the apps I have greenifyed. I decided to Greenify more apps than disable this time to see if I get the same battery life as disabling everything. Time will tell.
That's about it. Hopefully this is helpful to us Verizon users who are trying to comb through multiple forums trying to find all the pieces to the puzzle in regards to flashing and rooting the U firmware. I am simply putting everything into one guide, along with any additions which I learned from my personal experience flashing and rooting my S7E onto the U firmware.
If there is any questions or comments hit me up, i'd be happy to help anyway I can.
Cheers!

This is outstanding. Thank you so much!
I've yet to go through the whole process, as I want to set aside some time to prepare everything, etc. But I was wondering whether you'd be willing to share a list of the packages you froze or removed with Titanium. I am also a minimalist when it comes to what files I keep around on any device. If you'd prefer to share via PM, that's fine too. I know those kinds of lists elicit a variety of reactions from a variety of users.

Quick question
I already rooted us8ng adb
-So to flash U firmware
I use regular Odin for that
-Then is modded Odin for Eng g935x_qc_rooted_boot.tar. is that right?
- then adb and root.bat?

Yea it actually does not matter that you are rooted. You are basically starting over from scratch by using ODIN to flash the U firmware. So start at the beginning and follow all the steps and you should be good!

No worries! I leave aggressive doze off because I use Force Doze to control doze instead. It does a much better job than Greenify at dozing quickly, as long as you use xposed to manage it. Force Doze screws up auto rotate and auto brightness bad if you don't use xposed settings in it.

All files (except the U firmware files) have been uploaded to my Dropbox and posted with md5 info. The U firmware has also been updated with md5 info. If the mediafire link ever goes down for the U firmware I will share a Dropbox link to that file as well.

I am getting 5 to 6 hours screen on time with medium to heavy usage (navigation, maps, streaming music, YouTube, Tapatalk, internet browsing, etc)

Hi, I need help with one of the step to root the phone. So i was able to flash the .tar file on the phone using the custom Odin but I couldn't flash SU on the phone. Whenever I tried to run the root.bat file the cmd return this:
C:\adb\super>adb wait-for-device
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Please help!

Thanks again for this. So, If I have the actual unlocked phone which already has the U firmware, I can skip a few steps and just root, do the cpu fixes, etc., right? The only thing I don't like about this phone is lack of voicemail notifications since the U firmware is stripped of that function.
Or is it better for me to perform all of the steps knowing I can flash the full U firmware to get back to the original state if I have to?

Root PK1 with working LTE and voice/mms/hotspot

OK so after reading a bunch on rooting the different firmwares I went ahead and gave the root a shot on our 935P running PK1. It was successfully rooted and runs with no lag whatsoever, no reboots, and LTE is working as well as voice and MMS. I did not make any of the needed files I just found them on XDA and put them to use. Please make sure you thank the devs for this would not be possible without them. Here are the steps I took:
1. Download the following items on your Windows PC:
A. ADB
B. Odin found at http://www.filedropper.com/princecomsyodin
C. Stock PK1 TAR
D. The engineer boot.img from the thread labeled root 10/25 found at http://www.filedropper.com/samsungg935xqcrootedboot
E. The SU install package from same thread found at https://download.chainfire.eu/970/SuperSU/SuperSU-v2.76-S7QC.zip
2. With phone in DL mode use Odin to flash all 5 items of stock PK1 TAR. Let phone boot up and activate on the network.
3. Download Package Disabler from Play store and use it to disable the following items:
A. Bootagent
B. Carrier Setup Wizzard
C. Chameleon
D. Com.android.carrierconfig
E. MobileInstaller
F. SAE
G. Samsung DM Phone Interface
H. Samsung DM service
I. Setup Wizzard
J. securityLogAgent
4. Power off phone and start in DL mode
5. After installing ADB open up Odin and click AP and select the engineer boot.img file
6. With phone in DL mode connect to PC and flash boot.img through Odin (once complete phone will boot up)
7. Once phone boots up run the Root.bat script. After a successful run the phone will reboot and SuperSU will be installed.
8. Download build.prod editor from Playstore
9. Use build.prop editor to change the following 3 items:
A. ro.cdma.default_alpha from chameleon to sprint
B. ro.cdma.default_numeric from 310000 to 310120
C. ro.build.characteristics from Chameleon to Sprint
10. GoTo settings, security, other security settings and turn off automatic updates.
11. Reboot
12. Install Wireless Tether Router from Playstore
13. After install open and set desired broadcast name and password DO NOT change anything else.
14. Turn your phone's Wifi on
15. Hit Enable Wifi Router and grant SU permission when asked.
Your 935P on PK1 is now rooted with working LTE, voice, MMS, and hotspot.

thank you very much for your help. i confirm that this solution works on PL6 stock and everything like you said is working. This is what i did.
i followed everything you listed except 3 things.
1) i needed stockfile for PL6 and when unzipped i used 4 files . for the csc file i used home, so it preserves data.
2) for part I i didn't know which wizard setup, lol so i disabled both.
3) i also added securityLogAgent. to the disabled list, because i kept getting that notification that if u click it. it reboots and gets rid of root.
thank you once again, and once again this is working on PL6, just make sure u download PL6 stock

What update are you referring to? I'm assuming 7.0? Any idea when it's coming out?

I got the update yesterday.

Could you link which package disabler you used? Some of them have been removing some of the packages that you can disable (im guessing from pressure from samsung).
Also, what did you do to get no lag?
Thanks!

How'd it go? Looking to do this on PL6.

Hey guys. Im having some problems with this method because of ADB.
I flash the boot.img but once I run root.bat it goes though everything fine until I get to the line "adb install -r SuperSU-v2.76.apk" an error appears from adb saying "Error could not access the package manager. Is the system running?"
Ive tried making it the specific path. ex: "adb install -r /sdcard/Download/SuperSU-v2.76.apk" and stuff like it. (Im also not sure if its installing the apk from the file on the phone or the folder on my PC.
Any help would be appreciated. Running PK1 S7 Edge Sprint.
on top of this my phone just vibrates and lands at the Sprint LTE screen while it doesnt do anything. This is probably the problem. But I have the same version as #1 so whats the problem?

Hello, i am currently running PJ2 on my samsung edge, do you think i should use the root method for pj2 or take the update to pk1 and then root?thanks in advanced

I can confirm pk1 method works. Not sure about root on pj2.

After obtaining root from the OP I downloaded the current stable SuperSU 2.79 flashable zip. I flashed it from FlashFire. I received a security warning. Custom binary blocked by SECURE BOOT (boot.img). I then flashed the OP engineer boot.img in ODIN. this fixed the update binary issue, woot, and rebooted again fine.

I also got this to work on the third try on pj2. The first two were one hundred percent my mistake as both times I missed something very plainly stated in the OP. I would say to anyone experiencing difficulties to read over the threads where the OP files originate. That's what allowed my bone head to see what I was doing wrong. I can't believe I finally have root and hotspot! Thank you for all the hard work folks!

Oh man. Do you even know how much you helped me out. I have succesfully rooted 7.0 on my s7 edge. Will post tutorial soon, much credit to you sir you are awesome.
Edit:https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/sm-g935p-spr-root-nougat-7-0-data-t3568780

I can confirm this works 100% on PK1. Thank you so much

Any of you have any tips on fixing the lag? I love root but might go back due to lag and battery drain

Can someone please save the 10.5.8.IN55CB OTA from T-mobile before updating?

Since T-mobile hasn't posted it, I'm surprised no one has saved off the update for others to download. If anyone gets the notification that the update is available PLEASE save it (plug it into your PC and select file transfer) off the device and provide a link to help the rest of us out.
Much appreciated.

I forgot to add this: Where in the internal storage would/should I look? I need to back up my phone anyways, therefore, this is a perfect opportunity.
Thanks.

After it downloads you should be able to say "wait to install later." It should be around 360MB I hear. If you have an app that shows file sizes it should locate this as a large file on your device. Like Free Cleaner and File Manager, from the PlayStore, if you go under Memory, go under large files, it should show you the location. Then go there and zip it up and save to another directory like Download. And then upload to Mega.nz or another file sharing site. Thank you for helping!!!

i needed the TMobile modem if one of you guys could share that it would help

i am uploading it right now. I am in desperate need of a persist.img from tmobile device. some how I managed to delete my only copy and my backup to the cloud I guess never was completed. if you could do this for me I would be ever so grateful. ill have the update in about 10 min

Quick update: My phone keeps rebooting after downloading the update and lands back into the tmobile splash screen and into the home screen.
What am I doing wrong? Reason being this is that I'm trying to preserve this OTA myself as well.

This is exactly what I need as well, just the modem.bin or NON-HLOS.bin whatever is on the modem partition. I suppose there is a way to pull from adb as well. However, not knowing what is in the OTA makes it quite difficult to see if there are mulitple modem partitions.
Go to system / build number / click it 7 times (it should say you are now a developer), the enable USB debugging. Trust the computer you plug it into (it will ask you on the screen of the phone), then type:
adb pull /dev/block/by-name/modem NON-HLOS.bin
Something like the above should work and save to your fastboot directory,where ever you ran the ADB command from. Then you can zip that file up and upload and we get all the new modem bands.

my problem is i use TMobile and changed to eu and global my 4g is 120mbs 5g 44mbits it was 198 i needed it to test if it changes you fastboot flash modem_a or(b) i could use someone who has TMobile modem backed up in twrp i can give everyone img then

i think i found issue with 5g nr is turned off i used settings database editor to change from 0 to 1

Would this help with 5g speeds? Also I have already updated, but I plan to keep my TMobile 8 stock so I'll try to get whatever files you guys need. Currently at work though.

see where i flashed modem

i have 10.59 what file do you need i dumped it

Do you have to be rooted for it to actually save? I followed that app's instruction and gave permission via ADB but it doesn't seem to save for me.

I figured that would probably be the way. Just wasn't sure does too the fact the app Setedit made it seem like it would save if you just gave it permissive over adb. No rush on you doing that though. Not sure if I'll be investing into all of that yet. I don't mind stock enough to modify yet.

Ok so where's the OTA download link?

T-Mobile variants don't give you the wait option it restarts immediately. Also you can't get to where it saves the update anyway without root. There's another way of doing it and we are waiting for it to be pulled
