Lol!!

Well I'll gladly test anything once I get the phone. Should have it shortly after July 1st

 

[Bulldogz1097]

yeah but if this fails i dont want to be eaten by a crocodile haha. and plus im a noob so i got a question. would the radio help with the sms not sending or is that because of the root?

 

[funkylogik]

i think crocodile would hurt too
Theres no noobs on this site bro. Noobs dont even think to use android forums :beer:

Different modem/radio firmware will make your signal and data speeds better, worse or the same but this thread is for peeps who have flashed the wrong one on their phone and want the right one back. If you havent changed yours, you dont need this one

 

[peter counias]

Will your backup work after installing your modem ? With the sprint modem I keep getting check mds5 mismatch!

 

[peter counias]

Has anyone tested this in Odin ? I tryed with mobile Odin an got can't find partition in file !
Will this happen on the PC ? Guess I'll find out later !

I did accidently put in a sprint stock rom but my data still worked so I believe I wont need this I think haha. I then restored a backup to vm

 

[redrunner1985]

Anybody think flashing this will fix my problem of not being able to send sms?

 

[TheBritton]

What previous steps did you take that led to you not being able to send text messages?

 

[redrunner1985]

I activated it through the phone. I've rooted it trying to fix it. It was doing it before that. I've tried a factory reset (before rooting) updatibg the prl and pulling the battery for 2 hrs. Nothing worked.

 

[funkylogik]

Have vou flashed anything else? Maybe post a screenshot of "about phone" :thumbup:

 

[Austrie]

I need screenshots of 'about phone' in Settings on stock. I need baseband/radio version info.

 

[Austrie]

Never mind my last post, I think I found the way to flash sprint ROMs and get back to working stock.

 

[peter counias]

Has this modem file work for anyone yet?

 

[Austrie]

Well when my pal XAL2 try to flash it, it failed in Odin. So, no, it's not usable at the moment

 

[peter counias]

Is there any way for me to get back to stock virgin Mobile rom or not yet ?
