Root [ROM] CTMod 3.80 (04/01/13)

OK, one more thing. Bloodawn, I may need your advice on this after all.

As you know, I fixed my corrupt PRL (which, for the record, was #21095.) Using the free DFS software, I pushed PRL #25005 to the phone this past Sunday, and it worked like a charm

Well, some time today at the office, the phone slipped back down the 1x roaming hole. By itself.

At least now I know how to fix it. So when I got home, I plugged in the phone and "read" the PRL using the DFS software... lo and behold, it reverted back to 21095 all by itself!

And this time I didn't touch the manual PRL update at all. I know better. This happened without any human intervention, while my phone was sitting at my desk, plugged into the charger.

Now that I know how to fix the problem, it's easy enough to do. But I sure don't want to have to push a new prl every 2 days if I don't have to.

Is there any way to stop the rom for pulling the corrupt PRL by itself? I imagine this is what's happening to the other people who are experiencing the problem.

By the way, I just downloaded alogcat, thinking that if it happens again, I might be able to catch the log entry for it. Not sure if this will be of any help to you, but I'd be happy to send it on to you when it happens again.

Thanks Bloodawn (et al)

the prl will always update itself depending on your location so it can access the towers in the area your currently at, and I don't think theres anyway to stop that. I think all the prl updating stuff is on the cdma partition (except for the manual update button in settings which just forces it). so its not the rom making it update itself.

what probably happened is that prl you keep getting updated to is probably using a tower sprint is working on which is why your losing 3g.
 
I'm having the same roaming issue starting a couple days ago. I have not updated my PRL at all, it just started roaming 1x all by itself.

My wife has an S3, which works fine.

We live in the Mid Ohio Valley, near West Virgina, if that helps.

i can kinda confirm sprint is working on towers, mostly data related no voice should be affected, its happening to some ppl on the GS2

I'm in southern California. We're expecting to get the LTE upgrade sometime within the next few weeks/months, so it wouldn't surprise me if they're working on towers. Like you, my wife's phone works absolutely fine (LG Optimus), which is kind of baffling.
 
Loving the updated CTMod. HKtoolbox seems to work as intended with the OC kernel installed over CTMod 3.8. Is the DSP manager something the stock version has? I have been using gonemad music player and it works just fine, no problems. Maybe you could elaborate a little on it. Thanks for everything.

the DSP Manager is a equalizer I ported from CM7. is that what you wanted to know? it should work with any music app.

Correct me if i'm wrong, can you stop updating by,
u can access hidden menu, LG Hidden Menu: *#*#4636#*#*
Select Phone Info
and under "Set preferred Network type:"
select CDMA ONLY or EvDo Only

on Mine currently selected "CDMA auto(PRL)"
 
just noticed my marquee has been on for 6 days. its nice to have the lockups fixed.

in other news: I saw a marquee for sell on ebay with CTMod on it last night. was kinda cool lol.
 
No problems at all with the newest version of Ctmod running the oc kernel. Looks like you've got this baby dialed in Bloodawn. Beautiful piece of work bro.

Battery life is good too. I got almost 24 hours on one battery yesterday with minimal use. :thumbup:
 
sorry guys Ive had a lot of crap going on lately not much time for online, everyone got huge pay cuts at work (50% of our pay is incentive) I lost $5 an hour, some guys lost over $10 an hour so moral is down along with production, so longer hours. This is what happens when your in a non union warehouse. :/ (SYSCO Corp., FYI)

But anyway, yes the 3.80 is running magnificent for me! I couldnt believe it one day I looked at the uptime it was like 5 days! Ive been getting 36+hours lite use on a single charge! AMAZING! Thank you!

I Think I Got It Back Working. I Wiped Cache :)

Bro, whenever I'm having an issue like that, I always wipe the cache and the Dalvik cache and see if it helps. If that doesn't work, I do a factory reset and flash a new copy of the ROM. CTMod is supposed to wipe the cache and Dalvik cache when it's flashed but I always do it manually too before flashing the new copy of the ROM. Fixing permissions is another thing that I want do. Then I'll see what's up and hopefully the problem is not a problem anymore. lol :p:D

If the problem still persists after I've done all of that, then I'll post that I have an issue. As you can see by my past posts, I vary rarely post that I'm having any issues. lol

Following the steps above will usually solve most simple problems that people have. ;) :thumbup::vroam:
 
I had to do a battery pull today after 5 days of moderate usage. The phone froze like it used to do under the previous versions. I was using dolphin browser, and having and issue with closing an ad in the browser when the phone locked. I'm guessing it was the browser and not the rom, but thought you should know. If it happens again I'll let you know
