Root [Virgin Mobile] [OLD]Sprint to Virgin Mobile LTE/MMS FIX [OLD]

[iMaYG]

I'll try this over the weekend

 

[macknificent1]

I tried moar v6 and was able to send mms but not download...4g also worked

What kernel are you using? I tried v6 and have different results.

ROM: MOAR v6. Tried with the KT747 kernel and default installer choice for MOAR.
MMS: Sending & receiving work once I set CDMA only.
LTE: No
Calls: Yes
Internet: Yes, 3G only after setting mobile data mode to CDMA only.

 

[peter counias]

Not in a 4g area will be on Friday I'll let you know!!

 

[TronXiix]

hey for tw.apn mod v2 is they're way to fix 3g and data because when i connect to wifi and then turn off or be leaving somewhere my data is disconnected and i have to keep flashing the mod v2 zip for hyperdrive

 

[TronXiix]

Yeah I don't know ow which cm10.2 your your on? I tried nightly version bit but error with the keyboard :/

Do you know how to bypass the asop launcher with moar rom going back to mg2 rom. I'm going to test out touchwix ink mod

Did you use my fixes for it? What one?

I stayed with the stock kernel...I tried to edit the apn myself but the options are all grayed out.

 

[macknificent1]

I used the tw fix version 2

 

[killaphatboy]

I used the tw fix version 2

I got the same result with tw fix 1(3g, 4g, sms, and mms sending works, but not downloading mms), but no 3g or 4g data with tw fix 2 for me(didn't try mms).

 

[MopedRyder]

I got the same result with tw fix 1(3g, 4g, sms, and mms sending works, but not downloading mms), but no 3g or 4g data with tw fix 2 for me(didn't try mms).

Ok so fix 1 may be better for TW - good info

 

[MopedRyder]

I posted a Universal CM + AOSP Fix in OP

If you are running a AOSP ROM please try both the AOSP R2 and the Universal and tell me the differences. Im mainly interested in LTE.

AOSP ROMs - Slim / Eclipse / Jellybam

I don't think the CM or the Universal will have LTE but please test them.

I don't know. It seems hit and miss. Tw fix 1 works for some ppl, while tw fix 2 works for others. I manually pulled and edited my apn's, then placed it back. Rebooted and had no data. Reflashed each fix and had no data with any of them. Reflashed to mg2 ryder to get data again, then flashed back to moar and had data and everything working except vvm without flashing any fix. Even had mms downloading. Unfortunately, I tried to flash another rom and haven't been able to reproduce the same outcome.

 

[atrickpay]

Going back to stock kernel killed wifi for me.. Still no 4G on TW fix 1 or 2 on my phone. Blows my mind that all of these phones are getting different results from the same fixes. Makes me think I did something along the way that borked it. Perhaps I should go back to stock and start over.

I had to update profile to get 4g, but only worked on moar with tw fix 1 for me.

I had to update profile to get 4g, but only worked on moar with tw fix 1 for me.

Interesting you may have something there.

 

[atrickpay]

Very interesting, didn't think of that. When I go to update profile on fix 2 I get the 4G icon for a few seconds before getting a connection error, and then no more 4G. Flashing fix 1 now to see if I get different results.

Edit: Same error. "The profile update could not be completed. Please try again later. If the problem persists, you may need to contact Customer Service. ErrorCode: 6)Connection Error"

 

[MopedRyder]

Frustrating because I flashed MOAR 5 with version 2 and got 3G / MMS both directions / Internet / good call quality.

Yet it doesn't work for others

Flashing a new fix never worked for me. I always have to flash fresh for any fix to work.

 

[atrickpay]

Ok i've got 4G success. Will test MMS shortly, here's what I did.

1. Wipe data / factory reset
2. Wipe cache
3. Flash MOAR 5.01 and select to not flash a kernel
4. Boot
5. Reboot into recovery
6. Flash KT747
7. Boot
8. Reboot into recovery
9. Flash TW fix 1
10. Boot
11. System settings > System update > Update profile

No more, no less. Thats what worked for me. Thanks for the help everyone

Edit: MMS downloading does not work, sending works fine.

If this might help, here's the APN backup with working 4G and MMS send.

[MopedRyder]

Change the two entries toward bottom: (should be 2)

From:
apn="n.vmu.ispsn"

To:
apn="n.ispsn"

Reboot and try again please.

 

[atrickpay]

Noob question. What file do I do that to? To make that APN backup I just used the APN Backup & Restore app from the store.

My /etc/apns-conf.xml file appears to have no occurances of "n.vmu.ispsn" for some reason.

Here's my apns-conf.xml file. Looks different than the one that backup app made.

[MopedRyder]

The one that had n.vmu.ispn is the TW (Touchwiz) versions. CM or AOSP did not.

Post #146 had it toward bottom.

 

[atrickpay]

Well thats strange, I definitely flashed your TW_D2VMU_APN_Fix-R1.zip and my apns-config.xml doesn't have it. Does the profile update mess with any of that stuff?

On another note, just rebooted and 4G is gone =\ Profile update didn't work this time either.

Edit: I realize I may have been confusing. Both those xml were taken from the same build of my phone, minutes apart without making any changes. I'm not sure why they varied. Maybe the fault is with the app I used to create the backup. My 2nd xml is copied straight from the apns-conf.xml. I don't know where I would even make the edit because the first xml was just a backup, placed on my SD card.
