It appears that 4G doesn't work with FreedomPop and most custom ROMs. It seems like either custom roms are detected by FreedomPop and disactivated from 4G, or (more likely) most ROMs have the wrong 4G information wrong for FreedomPop.
It could well be that most roms incorrectly detect the FreedomPop 4G network as Sprint. I know a similar problem exists with Credo Mobile, in which case changing the APN network information solves the issue.
Moreover, on reddit someone claims 4G works on cyanogen 7 but not on later version. Maybe that could help solve the issue?
I'd be very happy if one of you could help me figure what is wrong, or if you got 4G to work with a custom ROM on FreedomPop.
Solved!
Basing myself on the Boost Mobile APN fix, I made a new fix that should give 4G/LTE to FreedomPop users.
Download the FreedomPop fix here.
Just download the fix, put it on your phone, boot into your recovery (I suggest Philz), select Install Zip, and install the fix.
This new fix, compared to the previous one has the benefit of providing an extra APN (n.f6.ispsn) that should give superior performances. Moreover, the fix should be more robust, being based on the Boost Mobile fix instead of the Ting fix. Finally, it will also display "FreedomPop" (instead of Sprint) as your provider.
The previous method is also listed here in case it is of interest to you.
Previous method:
I found a way to get 4G on FreedomPop with Cyanogenmod 11! Just follow these simple instructions:
1. Download the Ting APN fix for Android 4.4 on your PC
2. Unzip the Ting APN fix somewhere.
3. Replace the apns-conf.xml file in system/etc/ directory of the unzipped Ting APN fix with this file: http://www.mediafire.com/view/25xozc3p6okf8zw/apns-conf.xml
4. Re-zip the Ting APN fix (with the modified apns-conf.xml), and put in on your phone.
5. Boot to Philz recovery, select Install Zip, and install the modified Ting APN fix. Voila! 4G/LTE should work (make sure to enable it in settings/mobile networks!)
Note that this will work on the S3, but may not work on other phones. To obtain proper apns-conf.xml file, I recommend you flash to 4.3 stock rom, and copy the apns-conf.xml file from /system/etc/apns-conf.xml file of your android and use that instead for step 3.
Freedompop phone to a Sprint Account
Hey guys, I have a nice Freedompop Galaxy s3 that came straight from FP rooted with their proprietary ROM. But the FP ROM is designed to use VOIP to make all calls and seems to do away with any actual cdma(?) dialer altogether. It's a nice phone for $200.00 and I think I'd like to keep it. But when I tried to activate it on my Sprint account, they get an error on their end and don't recognize it.
This question is for you hardcore developers out there. How can I completely reprogram it to a rooted sprint firmware with a dialer and activate it in place of my older HTC 4G LTE. But also "save" the FP ROM for restore if it won't activate. I have til October to return it, so I thought I'd play.
You should also know 1) that FP definitely runs on the sprint network and seems to work exclusively through their 3g/4g lte service (hence the proprietary ROM and no solid phone connectivity); 2) this galaxy is marked as "refurbished" (in pristine condition) and has no Sprint logo on it all (they asked me about this on the sprint chat site); 3) the battery drained pretty fast and the phone would get warm (my HTC never had these issues, though it seems to be common among s3 owners); 4) but all that being said, it's super fast (cf. to EVO) and I think I might enjoy the upgrade at this price.
Thanks for thinkin on it.Masterhanger

If I understand the issue, you got yourself a FreedomPop phone that you wish to activate with Sprint (NOT with FreedomPop)?
If so, I see two potential issues:
1. Your phone IMEI is with FreedomPop, and thus no longer recognized by Sprint. You'll have to ask Sprint to get your IMEI back, if possible.
2. You are using a FreedomPop ROM, and that ROM doesn't allow Sprint activation. Hopefully the actual phone is the same as the Sprint version and only the ROM is different. If you go to Settings and the model number is SPH-L710 then you are probably good. Try installing a Sprint stock ROM and then activate. I strongly recommend you backup your entire phone (including boot and efs) before you do that through, preferably through Odin - but be warned that you may hard brick your phone.
Works, but no sprint optimizer, profile update, or PRL
Hey Merudo,
I really appreciate the fix, thank you for that! However, as you can see in the title, there is no sprint optimizer, profile update or PRL update. That is really important stuff as the networks changes and upgrades all the time. Is there any way that file can be included too? Maybe I'm missing something, but the Tink fix said that there should be a sprint network update for the profile and PRL next to the CyanogenMod updates in About phone in the settings, but I never saw that when I put that on my phone. I have a Galaxy S3 phone I bought from freedomPop, but I absolutely hated the Samsung ROM so I wanted to flash CyanogenMod and now I'm having problems. I hope you have some ideas or can clear things up. Thanks again for the fix, and I saw your post on CyanogenMod site about this, that would be awesome if they did put this file into the ROM!

Hi ColdHot,
Sadly, profile/PRL update on custom ROM is a problem on all Sprint providers (Including Boost, Credo, FreedomPop, Ting, Virgin Mobile, and Sprint itself).
As far as I know, no custom ROM has built-in support for profile/PRL update for any of these providers.
I believe most people deal with the issue by switching back to a stock rom each time they wish to update profile or PRL. I personally switch back and forth between two full backups I make with Philz Touch Recovery.
Please do tell me if you ever find a better way!

OH MY GOODNESS THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN!!! I've seriously tried everything to get my 4G to work on my cyanogenmod infused freedompop (although its a sprint deivce) even by inputting my own apn's I found on the web. I was seriously even considering switching back to sprint just because 3g speeds just weren't cutting it. This finally did the trick. Thanks so much!
So ur fkashed to boostmobile with a freedom pop lte card in getting 4g lte? And boostmobile 3g and voice??

Wicked X on Freedompop
I was running Wicked Sensations when I switched to FP. Nothing but headaches all around. Couldn't place calls off wifi, no 4G, PRL or Profile updates. FP support was useless at trying to resolve.
I then switched to Wicked X and the phone is running smooth. Optimizer, 4G, PRL and Profile updates are all working fine. I'm getting better battery life than my wife's phone we just purchased from FP running their ROM. Seems to be a good ROM so far for FP service.
Thanks, Merudo.
For anyone wondering, I applied this on a 5.0 rom on my S3 and it seems to work great.

thanks for your information,
can you set the messaging (from freedompop) as defaulted dialer?
I tried the cynammod rom, when I used messaging app to dial the original dialer alway launched out, it is very annoying, so I have to flash back to freedompop rom.
has 5.0 the same problem? thanks!
New Fix Disclaimer
Hey Merudo,
I may get an S4 to use with FP and noticed your old fix had a disclaimer that it may not work on non-S3s. Could you clarify if the new fix has the same disclaimer? I see your comment in the .sh file says it handles universal lte builds but just want to make sure before purchasing otherwise I'll probably just go with an S3.
Not working... loosing my mind=(
I just moved and should be looking for work but, instead, I'm loosing my mind trying to make this work on my Sprint S4 running and, albeit, weekly build of CM12. For the love of god, has anybody figured anything out with that? It's really hard to network when I have no way of getting back to people. Not to mention how much I just spent on this phone.
Please help
I haven't been able to get any APN fix to work for freedompop on any Lollipop rom on my S4.
I get 3G without applying any fix, and either nothing happens, or I can't connect at all when using one of the 3 APN fixes I found.
Not sure why they don't work.
Can't seem to get data 3G/4G to work.
Can't seem to get data 3G/4G to work. When I disable wifi, I lose my Sprint(Freedompop) connection. I cant connect to the internet, etc.
I've tried these so far but nothing worked for me:
Universal_vmu_ApnFix-v.R2.zip
Freedompop APNs fix.zip
I love how fast this ROM is and want to make it my daily use phone.
Is there a specific process for getting it to work? Just want to make sure I'm not missing something.
Any advice/help is appreciated.
Freedompop (Sprint) SPH-L710 (Samsung Galaxy S3)
CM version 12-20150120-UNOFFICIAL-d2spr (lollipop 5.0.2 unofficial)
Baseband version: L710VPUDND8
EDIT: Is there a specific way to install to get it to work or? Or any other info I can provide that will help?
My current install went like this: wipe cache, wipe devik, factory reset, install CM12 ROM, install Freedompop APNs fix.zip, install gapps-1p-20141109-signed.zip, install Freedompop messaging, confirm registration, disable wifi, and no 3g/4g.
030415 Edit: My issue is resolved! I dialed *#*#4636#*#* and the TESTING screen came up immediately. Under "Set preferred network type:", I switched it to: LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) in the dropdown menu. I then turned off my WIFI, and LTE immediately showed up! I tested going to a webpage and it works!! I cannot thank you (shakim24 and XDA) enough!!! Turning the WIFI back on is a little tricky and requires some patience, but it will come back on. :good: :victory: :highfive:
Works for Nexus5 CM12 weekly
I am using multi rom with stock as the primary rom. I used that to update PRL and everything works as expected without any modifications. However, the CM12 data settings did not work without the FIX attached in this thread.
What ROM?

Can you tell me what ROM you used, because I have not been able to find one for my S3
Should I download the fix from the attachment or on the link?
They seem to be different.
UPD: one in attachment seem to be better (more settings in the apns-conf.xml)
I'm also attaching another version of this fix with even more APNs for Freedompop. It equals the setup that came with original FreedomPop ROM
i am having same issue and none of these PRL's work. Can you tell me which fix you used before modifying the settings in TESTING menu

You can only make/receive calls when Data is enabled? It doesnt work via wifi? While data is turned off, open the Freedompop Messaging app and see if indicates that you are registered. What happens specifically when you try to make a call? (what errors or messages do you get)
Hi All,
It is my request that if you have not tried this or witnessed it first hand, do not reply. I've siphoned through entirely too many threads with those quick to respond no only to have the "no" be proven wrong within the same thread.
That being said: Project Fi
Officially only supported on several devices. The biggest feature lost to those who do not use a supported device is the ability to switch between networks. While I'm still on the fence with rooting my S9 (assuming I'll have to), one thread I found with several confirmations seemed a bit promising to keep the roaming feature.
Editing build.prop to reflect a Pixel 2 allows the device to be activated. While several individuals confirmed this works to activate, none have confirmed whether the roaming feature works as well. Theoretically, it should. Others have lost this feature because the IMEI of the 'surrogate' phone is whats being registered. Makes sense since Sprint (and I believe US Cellular as well) is like Verizon in that they register the device vs the sim (Of course more complex than that, just typing through the logic).
Therefore, if editing the build.prop allows you to activate Google Fi then theoretically the IMEI of said device should also be registered and should work. I'm looking for confirmation on this. There's also a big question about the ability to edit build.prop without rooting and implications on KNOX, Samsung Pay, etc which is why I'm hesitating. Just looking for this first bit of information first.

Are you talking in terms of just activating service? if so, i have a vzw s9+ and i switched to fi, just flashed to xaa and popped in the fi sim. no problems.

I read here on XDA that Google Fi would be able to be activated on other devices and I'm almost positive the S9/9+ were included. You wouldn't need to edit build.prop or anything. You wouldn't get automatic network switching though since that's a hardware / firmware thing from what I remember reading. The service itself would work and you wouldn't need a surrogate phone to make it work initially.
Whether that's live or not yet I don't know. Rooting any Samsung device past the S4 or S5 I believe trips Knox permanently. That's also assuming you don't have a u965 / u960 device, which can't be unlocked / rooted.

Can anyone help me get my One Plus 7 Pro working on Visible wireless. I know the phone isnt officially supported by Visible yet, but there should be a way to get it to work. Even if i can just get data only to work on the phone that would a good start.
I am willing to try any modifications that may need to be done.
Thanks in advance.
so maybe first i should add, i get this message when sim is inserted "sim 1 no provisioned" but the sim works in my iphone x fine
Have you tried updating carrier settings? Also the Visible Wireless app must be installed as Activation happens through the app on Android.
I have the app and I can't update carrier setting when the Sim card keeps says not provisioned
Technically there is no reason why it should not work. Visible uses the VZW network. The issue is they can exclude devices and you won't be able to get it provisioned.
Were you ever able to successfully get the OP 7 Pro working on Visible?
It's A Go!
Ask and you shall receive! Latest update adds Visible Wireless support for the Oneplus 7 Pro.
I've a VoLTE/VoWiFi activated Telstra/Boost SIM that's confirmed to work fine with both stock-standard Moto G 5G Plus & iPhone 11 Pro Max, delivering those features in Australia.
Rog Phones in general & Rog phone 5 in particular are known to lack VoLTE/VoWiFi features with all of the Australian carriers. ASUS Zentalk forum has a few threads about it. (Of course, I too escalated it there for any official help, but none will be forthcoming anytime soon, from what I understand ). I'm genuinely in need of VoLTE at work due to terrible 3G but decent 4G there; and at home in need of VoWiFi due to terrible 3G but excellent WiFi backed by snappy fibre Internet connection.
My phone is an ASUS_I005DA model with build number WW_18.0840.2106.86. Neither "4G Calling" nor "Wi-Fi calling" settings are visible by default, but upon dialling "*#*#3642623344#*#*", those options become available. Though those features can be activated/toggled (and they stick around till the next reboot), they actually don't really make those features work (i.e., phone still drops down to 3G when making phone calls; similarly, calls simply don't go through WiFi, as is proven in airplane mode with WiFi on). This I understand is due to lack of .mbn files for the modem to support Australian carriers in general, Telstra in particular. (I gather that with previous Rog phone models, by injecting .mbn file(s) into the modem image, folks were able to get VoLTE and VoWiFi working in Australia.) I'm essentially looking for precise/tested/proven steps to accomplish just that but on Rog Phone 5.
This is where I've had it both boot loader unlocked & the system rooted with Magisk, in preparation for undertaking any and all such steps.
Has anybody been able to successfully access modem (i.e., Qualcomm Snapdragon X60 modem on Snapdragon 888 SoC found on this phone) from Windows or Linux systems for this sort of work? If yes, especially for Windows, what drivers did you use? (name, version info & where to download them from would greatly help) What additional software did you use on the Windows computer end (such as QPST) & on the phone end (such as QCOMDiagMode.apk & what version & from where was it sourced please?) etc. would be of great help.
A dumb question: Would it be at all possible to flash modem with updated image (incorporating the necessary .mbn file(s)) from within Android itself? Or Android itself doesn't have ADB to help with such tasks?? Just curious as I'm fine to work off either Windows or Linux end.
Thanks in advance for any useful guidance & direction.
The most likely answer would be to find how they made or picked the files with the 3 and try to make or find parallel 5 versions. The files should be compatible with fastboot (mbn is one of the extensions they use for firmware images).

It's also going to be an extremely experimental process, so the only tested and proven way will be to let someone else do it first. Hopefully you can find someone else in Australia with the same issue that is willing to put their device up for testing.
Is there a working guide to enable the AsusVoLTE App on Android 11 ?
Mine keeps saying root is not available,
and the USB command to enable PDC mode -
setprop sys.usb.config diag,diag_mdm,qdss,qdss_mdm,serial_cdev,dpl,rmnet,adb
doesnt work for me..
any ideas ?

I've had VoLTE show up on mine from day one with no problems, using Vodafone AU. I don't get VoWifi though - I don't know if that's dependent on your ISP. I use TPG for broadband at home.
That's great to hear! Thanks for your confirmation.
"Vodafone Wi-Fi Calling is not available to customers on prepaid plans" in Australia, according to this: https://www.vodafone.com.au/support/device/wi-fi-calling

Hopefully, official VoLTE and VoWiFi support for Telstra and Optus isn't too far, seeing how unofficial community support isn't ready just yet.
Did you managed to find a way to write .mbn? In AsusRogPhone2 it was easy (via Diag mode, efstools etc, with A10 though), but in AsusRogPhone5 efstools freezes every time at port listening stage, so this methos it's a no go for now, for some unknown reason.
Vodafone in Australia has VOLTE and WIFI calling for Rog 5. I went from Vodafone (had Volte) to Telstra (Had literally nothing, had 10 support tickets with telstra that first month in regards to getting volte, wifi calling and reception issues) said screw it, went right back to Vodafone, and boom had both Wifi calling and VOLTE on the Rog 5. Plus my reception is god tier. Telstra only supports certain phones (literally like 2 series) and thats it. So yeah. Thats how I solved the VOLTE issue. Should have just stuck with Voda to begin with, but wanted to give Telstra a go. Never again. Garbage service.
Just to wrap-up my original request, as of Nov 2021 firmware update, thanks to ASUS incorporating necessary MBN file(s) for Telstra (and Optus too from what I've heard at other forums) in that firmware update, after dialling Enhanced-4G code, VoLTE and VoWiFi functionalities become available in Settings. Toggling those options does successfully activate both of those functionalities on Telstra network. According to what I've heard on Whirlpool, even Optus is now supported in the same way.
Alas, those settings don't stick over a reboot, so what procedure needs to be done after every reboot. Perhaps ASUS will make them stick in a future firmware update.
It's possible to make them stick across reboots on a rooted phone, using setprop tool.
Thanks
Hi,
I've got several devices with VoLTE/VoWiFi capacity (like Xiaomi mi 9T Pro, OnePlus 8T, Xiaomi Mi 9 SE, Google Pixel 3...), but that are not supported by my carrier (Orange France). They only allow it for the devices on this list, according to tests they performed in their lab to ensure there aren't any issues to register them on their network :
https://reseaux.orange.fr/famille/appels-wifi
However, the other carriers in France I tested (SFR and Bouygues Télécom) are allowing these devices to have VoLTE/VoWiFi (I used both sim slots, and I have LTE data access on both. It's always the non-Orange SIM which can make LTE or Wifi calling).
Does someone know how to fake my device model in a carrier perspective ? I tried Device Faker plus and Android faker (on this thread : Android Faker) Xposed modules (on different LineageOS versions with Magisk installed and Riru/LSXposed loaded), but it's quite hasardous to make any random changes, without being sure which one could be effective to change.
Thank you in advance if someone has a solution !
Hi,
I'm sorry to answer so late but i just subscribe to orange, and i have a poco f3, i think this device isn't compatible with this carrier, and i want to know if you find a way to get it work.
Thank you

If the carrier doesn't support the device, there is nothing you can do.
No, sorry, I didn't find anything. It seems all you can do is related to play store, and so on. I was able to fake my phone model to be able to install certificates from my company (for emails sync, through exchange), but that's it. It seems it's handled directly by the chipset, and you won't be able to change that within Android.
A year later, I'm on the same boat. Is there anything new around this?
