Root [ROM][ALPHA] CyanogenMod 10 for the LG Connect 4G MS840

^^ OP updated too and as it says on the OP my wiki gets updated first, goo self updates when I upload. ;)

I got a LTE:13 mobile network type on my wifes Connect yesterday on 0317 but still no data yet. Its either not fully reading the uicc card or apns for some reason yet IMO.

I'm going to see if any other version makes a difference. I know that I'm striking a point of redundancy but I as a programmer know that sometimes doing things over and over isn't necessarily insanity as much as aiming for perfection. If some people are getting network signals, and some aren't then it's a fair assumption that it's something software related, and may not have anything to do with the microsim being read at all.
Afterall, if it were having issues reading it we wouldn't even be able to get past the lock screen.
I'm following under the presumption atm that perhaps, just maybe one version will work for my phone while another may not.
It's a goof presumption, but it's a theory, so we'll see.
I'll update as soon as I can on whether anything changes, even in the status menu.

well unlike stock, I have CM set so you can get past the lockscreen w/o a sim, my dev connect doesnt have a uicc card in it at all. ;)

Yea it could be something really really simple we're overlooking. The lucid bunch have full data, so its prolly more build.props or apn's holding us up. ;)
 
Okay, so a small update.
I decided to give the 17th's version a try again, and did a full factory wipe, dalvik, and cache wipe after, then installed the 17th from zip.
After it initially booted it went STRAIGHT into the settings i had before (weird) so I installed rom manager, then looked around for a way to get into debugging mode to get cwm touch on the cm10 (which I've yet to find a way to do...HELP!)
anyways, I rebooted, and NOW I can make calls, but still have no mobile data, so it's DEFINITELY something fishy going on with apn's more than likely.
The first time I ever tried CM10 I used the 17th update on fresh, and it worked fine, but no data, so I tweaked it, rebooted, and killed my data, and call ability, then attempted to go back to my backup that used touch, and apparently used the wrong version, soft bricked my phone, then went from vv4, to zva, then back to the 17th where it gave me the weird user settings issue...
Perhaps this is just my connect as it does have some weird issues - but I don't believe it would be.

Yeah, I've got debugging on, but there's no option for internet connection vs the standard charge, etc. that I've seen, so my ADB won't push through for some reason.
Perhaps I'm overlooking something as I'm no longer familiar with CM's UI

not needed, I am using adb like a mofo, so I know it works lol

trying to figure out cm-10.1 atm ;)
 
weird, I can't get mine to go through at all. Keeps sticking at successfully created service...no bother, I'll figure it out as I always have ^_^
Continue your work, you're doing a damn fine job so far.
If I can be of any assistance, feel free to let me know.

Any differences in the "RIL properties" section between the system.prop in PG's cayman repository and, say, stock or black plague's build.prop? This particular section is identical to the working lucid rom right now and smells like it needs to be changed slightly for another carrier.

unless you know how to compile, code, etc, just test the piss out of em and maybe experiment like you (you all) been doing and report back.

I may create a irc channel if anyone is interested in parking and working on this.

I haven't ever had the time this year to get into the android os like I'd like to, so compiling isn't really a choice. I do, however have a shitload of knowledge in java, and basic android os, and with my background in programming it's pretty simple to stare at source, and figure out what might be causing an issue. (I've done everything from game hacking to game programming, disassembling, network hacking, and security testing, and even network tower, and phone hacking, and more)

I'll definitely continue to test it and see if I can get anything going for a verbose log. I'm not sure if there's a way to do anything like that with android (never found a reason to 'till now so if there is, please let me know.)

Normal logcat
Code:
adb logcat
Logcat for just radio
Code:
adb logcat -b radio
kernel errors
Code:
adb shell dmesg
 
Just some feedback from my testing real quick. Downloaded the 0317, and i had service, 1x. I mean it would come on and off, but it was definitely there. Used the internet and what not (logged in through my gmail on the playstore, downloaded SpeedTest, sweet speeds btw, even updated my fb :P) . But still no MMS, i tried all the combos of the signals (LTE, CDMA, LTE/CDMA/Evdo, etc) and yeah no luck with sending a Pic. I did notice though that whenever you changed the type of signal, that by turning off the mobile data itself and then turn it back on, it would turn on the 1x (as opposed to it magically turning on, on its own) ? Idk, just throwing out some observations. Oh and i had 1x whether it was with LTE or CDMA or whatever....

Idk if anyone else has tried the GPS yet, but i did, and it couldnt locate me at all...

One last thing. So i put the signal settings back to LTE/CDMA/Evdo, with mobile data on, and did a restore of my backup, without wiping anything other than cache, and well i got my backup running with no hiccups, data working and everything =)

what were your speedtest results?? Might actually be getting 3g speeds even tho its showing as 1x. MMS is a apn thing, once I/we get it seeing/using the Metro one we'll prolly be golden on that.

I do being the NV/RUIM option is how people have been fubaring their service, myself included on my dev and wifes connect. I removed that option so it stays on NV.

Let me know what buttons to press to take a screen shot on the phone, and ill reflash 0317 to show it to you =) (cauussee... i cant remember the exact numbers haha)


EDIT: NVM, haha figured out the button combo, hang on though. Flashing it as we speak, ill repost once i get a pic

I dunno the button combo, but in settings > system >power menu > you can enable it to be on the power menu. ;)
 
Moses try flashing VV4 firmware and see if network comes back, and stays. Worked for PG and a few others. When I lost my network, I threw a bunch of hail marys and finally got it back with VV3.

Sorry to sound like a noob, but do i flash that via the LG Updater software?

Edit, nm. Found the images at http://www.lg-phones.org/official-stock-lg-connect-4g-firmware-rom.html

My next question is do i flash that then CM10 with my data?

Also i think my phone is MS840, no MS840V, so i don't know if this will work for me.

You can flash VV3 or VV4 on an OG Connect. Look for sammyz's firmware/unbrick guide in the Connect ATR forum. You can flash a .cab firmware file with KP-500 tool or use the unbrick guide method of converting cab to kdz and flash that way.

OG Connect? Does that mean i CAN flash it to mine?

Sorry for all the questions, I have been running BP1.2 since September-ish so i am out of the loop.

edit: I flashed vv4 and now i am stuck at the MetroPCS screen, is this when i pull the battery?

"OG" is a method of saying original, so yes, you can. I ran the vv4 on my OG ms840 just fine.
HOWEVER, note that the vv4 version as far as I know couldn't obtain root access, which means no CWM recovery.

Aaalright. So here come the pics =)

1. Showing that i have signal with LTE
2. Showing that i have signal with CDMA (and still 1x)
3. Proof of being able to download something (with Speednet being the test dummy
4. My results from speednet (btw, i changed back and forth from CDMA to LTE to evdo and what not, they were all staying in the same range speeds, ssooo i dont think its really changing from LTE to CDMA...)
5. Just a btw, im still not able download from the link you provided PG =/
6. Haha just a small typo on your OP :p unless.... everything IS working??? :p



Weird thing is, i lose signal when i lock the phone..... i unlock it, i wait a few secs or i change the settings and its back...?

ok, so i am flashing vv3 now. So do i then reroot and then install CM10?

I feel so bad for all the questions.
