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

[MopedRyder]

Gonna work on it a bit today - Ill post some test fixes. I dont have 4G LTE in my area so I can only test MMS and 3G connection.

Bad news no root access after. Root.zip if you look at forum which direction it told you.

Its impossible that my fix impacts root.

Ok stayed up to late again.

Can someone on CM10.1 or 10.2 try this one:

CM_D2VMU_APN_FIX-v1.1.zip

Give it a good 10MIN before you try to send a MMS. It may take 5-8min just to see the 3G and internet to show.

Please report back

...If it works Ill clean it up and post the CM fix.

This version gave me MMS on eclipse ROM(4.3) thank you couldn't test 4g cause my town doesn't have 4G

Not sure if it makes a difference, but when I put my mobile data mode as "LTE/CDMA" I don't even get 3G (or any data). But when I switch it to CDMA only, I get 3G after it reboots.

I have the same experience with the latest release candidate version of CM10. I could be totally wrong but I have a guess on exactly what is happening. I live in an area with weaker coverage where on stock my phone would occasionally switch over to 3g and drop 4g. On CM with your mod if I am on EVDO/CDMA I always have 3g. When on LTE/EVDO/CDMA I got 3g to come up once but most of the time I have no data connection. This leads me to believe that my phone knows about and trys to connect to the LTE but something goes wrong in the process. I have no idea if this is helpful or not but it can't hurt to share.

the menus are often broken for us. dont mess with the menus. do a buildprop esit to set default ntwork mode to 9 or 8 those are your only possibilities of getting 4g and though 8 is cdma/evdo/lte it doesnt work on the boost force we have to use network mode 9 which by all logic seems wrong but works perfectly

 

[junkie2100]

oh and cm has root built in... no options to select to my knowledge just has it enabled and everything

 

[TronXiix]

Yea kinda confuse with the root. But yes cm mod APN and MMS works if your not on WiFi :/ and if your WiFi you have to flash it over again

For some reason when I set it to 9 it would no connect - but 8 it would. Then again I was real tired lol


NEW TEST FIXES

Ok next round for testing. I ended up making different versions for TW and AOSP ROMs.

AOSP VERSION Release1



TW Version Release 1


I tested the AOSP version on 4 different 4.3 ROMs. CM10.3 and PA ROM didnt connect, but Slim and Eclipse both had 3G and MMS.

TW version was updated due to some errors and things I learned from the AOSP version.

Please report back. The AOSP may seemed to have a lot of un-needed files and its prob correct. Im just trying to get a good working base before I start removing cruft.

 

[MopedRyder]

In the end I may have to produce to different (possible 3) fixes. One for touchwiz (TW) ROMs and the other AOSP based.

 

[PieFromTheSky]

I switched the default network mode to 9 in the build prop and nothing changed. I still get 3g in EVDO/CDMA mode and no network connection in CDMA/EVDO/LTE mode.

 

[killaphatboy]

The new tw fix worked for me, but not until I updated profile. 4g and 3g both work. Going to test sms and mms later. You are awesome! Thank you for your hard work and dedication!


Edit: sms works, but mms fails to download and other recipient doesn't receive the mms that I send.

Edit again: reflashed moar and tw fix and had 3g and mms both working. Just couldn't get vm to work.

 

[iMaYG]

its working for you in cm?

 

[killaphatboy]

No, I'm on MOAR ROM.

Ok Its a good start then thanks

CM10 correct?

Im having issues with any CM based ROMs for some reason. Slim / Eclispe (AOSP) seems to work.

Yes, I am on CM 10.1.3-RC2-d2spr which is android version 4.2.2. I flashed your original mod and 3g and MMS work great in CDMA/EVDO mode. The only thing not working is LTE.

Edit: I should add that I did not flash any kernel over the CM kernel. I flashed the ROM, gaaps, and the first fix you released only.

That helps. Just confirming you mean version 1 in op?

Yes, version 1. Thanks for your continued efforts on getting everything working. I would love to see fully functional CM10 on our phones!!!

Is there a specific reason why this wont work on 10.2 (4.3), like is there something fundamentally different in where the files are stored or how the fix works? I'm not completely android/dev savvy, just curious.

 

[iMaYG]

ahh not lte? I'd rather have LTE over mms

Yes.

CM / AOSP ROMs are not from Sprint or Samsung. So the use of proprietary drivers are gone.

Also with almost all the ROMs they are built for Sprint phones on Sprint network. We are trying to run Virgin Mobile on Sprint firmware on Sprint networks.

As for APNs our phones don't list Sprint or Virgin Mobile as our carrier. It uses a proprietary system called chameleon.

So in order to work it's kinda like a hack to say we are a Sprint phone, but with Virgin Mobile credentials. You make it list itself as a Virgin mobile phone and the network won't id you.

CM / AOSP / TW all seem to connect and read the APN file differently.

Hope that helps

 

[TronXiix]

has anyone found good cm10 working? might go back see if cm10.1 rc 4 working?

see if the new mod update works

 

[MopedRyder]

ALL

This now turned into a work in process. Any input you have would help. I wanted a unified mod for all ROMs but after a lot of bashing head on keyboard I need to divide and concur first.

To that end Im planning to work on 3 different fixes. CM based / AOSP Based / and TW Based. My plan was to focus on one to at least get 3G and MMS working then move to the next. After all 3 done Ill then try LTE. Trying to get working LTE is going to be difficult - because I don't have LTE coverage. Ill need help (testers)

Because I think I'm close to the AOSP based fix Ill need it tested. Im gonna be busy with home stuff this weekend so not much work on it. Once it works on my phone or reported to work (at least 3G and MMS) Ill post it as a release in the OP. Ill just add the next fix (keeping each successive) for all to try.

AOSP and TW based posted. AOSP (Slim or Ecplise ROMs) need retested and report back. If it doesn't work with LTE switch to just CDMA/EVDO (3G) and reboot and check again. Changing it in the settings may not really do anything in the background - but try it anyway.

Thanks

TW Release 2 posted. I booted up MOAR ROM and had 3G, sent and recieved MMS, phone call made.
