i have two phones that where rooted and flashed using the same procedure using the cm 4.0.4 ROM but one lists ROGERS twice in the notification area. the only differences between the phones is my apn settings are mnc 720 and the other phone is mnc 72.
my phone that uses mnc 720 has a custom apns pushed to it with the correct settings.
did a search but couldn't find an answer so i'm reaching out to the community for help on this one.
Thought i should make it clear the stock CM 4.0.4 phone(mnc 72)is having the issue
Did u try reselecting rodgers under the mobile networks in settings give it a shot. Or u can always reset the apn, or wipe and reflash
never had to select rogers under networks on either phone. i had done it at the time cause it was one of my thougts too but to no avail. removing the apns still shows double rogers. replaced the apns-conf as a test on a new wipe didn't work. wiped and reflashed i think 3 times so far no avail.
Do you have a theme installed?
Happens on first boot after doing a wipe and re-image with CM4.0.4 nothing installed whatsoever its driving me crazy
i have got the same problem i posted it here...my mnc is 404..i have only tried cyanogen's roms and this problem exists on everyone of them
I recently flashed Darkyy's Gingerbread v8 and I cannot receive a 3G connection.
I have selected and unselected the "use packet data" and "data roaming" options as well as downloaded an app to turn on data connections incase it was needed, however still no luck.
I have WiFi connection, signal for messaging and calls.
Any help appreciated as I cannot find anything anywhere

Do you know if it's safe to do a factory reset? Will this just take me back to 2.1 eclair?
It will not reset to ur stock firmware it will just delete all apps and settings. Did u check if u have any entries under settings/wireless settings/mobile network/access point names/ ? If not u should go on ur carriers page and resend the mms / internet settings.

did you create the APN entry in Wireless settings?
Shrooms and Allgamer - No I havent got anything under APN.
How do I go about that?
(currently searching google - for some info)
I managed to find from my providers website the details for the "Internet" APN my 3G is working thanks for your help.
My WiFi is broke now though. Im presuming this is something to do with settings as well, if anyone knows why this is happening.
I am connected to the network I just have no data coming through.
Thanks
1. NEVER DO A FACTORY RESET AFTER INSTALLING A CUSTOM ROM! - Doing a factory reset will unroot your phone leaving a ROM/files installed on your phone that would only survive if the phone was rooted sometimes causing major issues.
2. Check to make sure you still have your IMEI. Use SGS toolbox (free) From the market. If you don't then use search on xda as there is a fix
3. It might be a modem issue. Try another modem from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9724862&postcount=14434 *If you are a bell, fido customer* or use a carrier that runs the 850 band then you should try to follow the instructions I have posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10533852&postcount=2525
Let me know how you go
Sorry I've just fixed it, I remembered I installed and APP called DroidWall and I never selected it to use WiFi...Sorry my fault.
Thaks everyone for your help, learned alot about my phone.
Just flashed the new gingerbread rom. Works great but it doenst recognize my sim card or network. I have att tab. Any help to restore it?
Did you remember to download the Modem package too? That's what I'm guessing.

Did you flash the version with the bootloader? Any whiteline issue on boot?
No I didn't download or flash a modem do I need to? I flashed the one with the bootloader. No whiteline I noticed.
I flashed with bootloader, tried 2 different modems, and no network. wifi works. tried flashing back to stock and everything went crazy. While I was using Odin, I STUPIDLY, plugged in my Captivate to charge without thinking, causing Odin to fail and I got the "phone - ! - PC" Icon.......talked about scared! Ended up using Roto's ATT stock image and Odin to get it back running again,barely. Now I get CRAZY lines when I boot (like if you tweaked the cable to an LCD screen), can't see Recovery screen....total craziness. Still no data. so I flashed back to OverCome Gingerbread ROM following his instructions, still no data
UNTIL
I swapped the SIM card with my phone. I suddenly got data on my Tab, but data would not function on my phone. Seems like the problem follows my SIM. Background: I also had a weird issue before hand where I couldn't open the Market on Cellular data without killing the data connection on Stock Rooted.
Thought I'd share.
EDIT: oh, and I can send text messages without issue.
Go to Settings, Wireless & Network, Mobile Networks, Access Point names and make sure you have one called Broadband (assuming you are on the ATT monthly data only plan)
If you dont, create a new APN and name it Broadband & make the APN Broadband as well. Just leave the other options and save it & select it.
I think by default it comes up with the ATT wap.cingular APN with doesnt work with the Tab Data plan.

Gingerbread 2.3.3 installed modem does not work
AT&T monthly pay as you go. What modem.bin do I load? Where can I get it. Is there any additional setup instructions?
Follow my instructions above and flash the JK3 modem fromt this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069727
Mine keeps saying insert sim card to access. So how do I get it to recognize the sim?
Please anyone with some help? Can I store back to original att froyo and just wait for official upgrade?
Have you guys entered in your APN settings for ATT Broadband?
I am also having a strange radio issue. I am using an ATT Tab with Overcome v2.0 Beta 2 and the JK3 modem. 3G data works great until I try to access the Google Android Market. As soon as I do it drops the 3G connection and wont come back until I reboot it. If I dont go to the market or only go to the market on WiFi it works just fine. I also verified that the same behavior happens with the JPZ modem..
My theory is somehow ATT is blocking Gingerbread Tabs from going to the market using their SIM card. Therefore I think maybe I need to edit my build.prop to spoof them. Can anyone recommend which values should be changed? Can anyone think of anything else that could cause this? Can anyone reproduce this issue on their ATT tab?

You used the bootloader patch app, right?
Reinstall the stock 2.3, then the root, then overcome. Follow the overcome guide, this time put the modem.bin in the phone slot in odin. There is no other fox for the wiggly lines. If you don't reflash everything, you can't get into recovery mode.
i cant get into the network settings as it tells me to insert a sim. I tried to flash the modem as well with no luck.
ok so I turned on my tab to play with it a bit and I had data! It was an H and seemed to work. When I restarted the tab it stopped working and said no sim again.
1) The Gingerbread rom has a modem with it that works fine on AT&T.
2) Did you leave your sim card in while flashing?
i did leave my sim in while flashing. Should I have it out? It seems the tab only recognizes the sim card every so often. Not all the time. Any way to flash the sim recognition part?
Could you please post how you flashed your att tab so I can follow it? Thanks.
I spent the last few days on my phone learning all about flashing Cyanogenmod, the differences between SPH-L720/SPH-L720T and wanted to put everything I learned about my experience in one thread as it is pulled from countless sites.
I have the Boost Mobile Galaxy S4 SPH-L720T, rooted, flashed CM13(unofficial) with LTE Triband aka "Spark" working, confirmed.
Here is what I know:
1) Sprint Mobile and Boost Mobile are all on the same frequency's.
2) jfltespr Rom for the SPH-L720 also works on SPH-L720T. It's only a Rom, zero difference between the "T" version and regular in terms of the OS, the "T" is hardware.
3) The difference between SPH-L720 and SPH-L720T hardware wise is that the SPH-L720T can receive multiple channels for downloading on the LTE network and the SPH-L720 can only do one, This is the "Enhanced LTE" or "Spark" you hear about.
4) For Boost Mobile, Installing the jfltespr Sprint build for the SPH-L720 or SPH-L720T will not work out of the box. You need to flash the Universal_Boost_APN_Fix-R2.2.zip. After loading in the CM Zip, zip this as well. If you forget, no biggie go back and do it after. This will fix your APN's, label your carrier correctly, which in turn allow you to use LTE, MMS, Triband aka "Spark" (You will not see the spark spiny thing, but it will work, keep reading). Also, side note you may need to wait and/or restart your phone a few times after you are set up with CM. Basically your phone needs to send info to the carrier tower and it all needs to sync up. Mine was fully working in under 20 mins. It's like when you activate a phone for the first time is all.
5) To verify the Triband or "Spark" is working download LTE Discovery App. The Triband or "Spark" Network runs on 800mhz Band 26 for voice, 1900mhz Band: 25 for Up/Down Data, and 2500mhz Band 41 for Down Data but at a higher DL rate. See these articles for more details, Sprint Network Explained, Frequency Faq's
UPDATE: I changed a setting in the MMS, turns out Boost Mobile requires a Username for mobile data to work correctly. This is now Ver. 2.2.

Hi there. What do you mean by "zip this as well"? Do you mean upon fresh installing CM we should also add the "Universal Boost APN" zip at the same time (in TWRP for example)?
I am guessing my issue is totally different, but thought I would ask anyways. I have a Samsung S4 on RingPlus (not Boost, but still an MNVO on Sprint). I have CM12 installed. everything works great except MMS. I can send normal text but cannot send (or receive) photos/multimedia. It complains about APN settings. I have a fresh CM installed so I'm willing to try anything to trial and error this thing.
Thanks for any ideas.

You can flash at the time you install the rom to save the APNs as default, or you can zip any time. However, if you flash after the install your default will be whatever CM's where.
This zip may not fully work for you then, but I did do some googling for you and found this below, if those apn settings work, let me know and I'll try to make a zip for you for future roms and quick flashing

Did you clear the data, cache and delvik cache first? The only reason I ask is because I made that mistake trying to "test a flash" before I lost all my stuff. Remember, you'll only have the space for the micro Gapps without re-partitioning.
Also, the Boost APN fix didn't work for me, nor the other 9 or so that I tried. Then I came across an old thread where I made a fix for the APN on my old Cyanogenmod setup with my L720 piggybacked off the work of mopedryder. , and I'll be damned. Still works even on my replacement L720T.
Not sure why, but this isn't working with the "Official" build.... Looking into this..
Yea, I was having a bear of a time with the MMS and APN stuff. It looks like they pushed some changes that messed with the "Boost APN fix R2 and also my old fix. What I found works now was hand editing the apns-conf.xml file to just the basics. Nothing but a boost apn and a very cdma apns just in case. Flash rom, flash gapps. After it booted, I copied that in to the /system/etc folder over the old one with file explorer, fixed permissions to match the old file and boom... MMS and LTE after reboot. You can give it a try if you want. Just unzip and copy/paste where I said. Let me know what you get if you try it. Also, let me know if you can edit APN settings while on wifi with this. Just curious. If it works, we can throw it in a flashable zip to flash after gapps.
MMS and LTE working!
I used the flash link provided in this thread Universal_Boost_APN_Fix-R2-2.zip This got me LTE, but still no MMS.
I followed the instructions in the last post, but they didn't work. I kept trying, and had no luck...this was before trying the flash file above.
After getting LTE, I decided to see what I could find inside of the apns-conf file. I checked out the settings and then did some searches for APN settings and found that the line for APN type was potentially misconfigured, so I edited it manually in the apns-conf file, because I REALLY didn't want to flash my phone for the umpteenth time. I also changed the bearer number to "0"
The previous type was: "default,supl,mms,dun,fota"
The type I found through apn.gishan.net was: "default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hipri"
Once I changed that in both lines that the type appeared in and changed the bearer numbers to "0" my MMS started working, as well.
Hope this helps someone out there so they don't have to search as long as I did.
Sprint Samsung Galaxy s4 moved to Boost Mobile
Icky Samsung system, I will not miss you.
Hi everyone, kinda new to the S4 forums. (not Android dev) my current daily driver is a SPARK on boost (running cm13) and my wife has the L720 also on boost. So given that I have the rare opportunity to dig into both activated devices and collect all the radio/modem/APN data from them in order to help this thread and maybe actually contribute something instead of just lurking and reading
So after about 3 weeks of digging and testing and comparing, also trying the edits suggested above on what works for them I have found the proper network settings in the apn-conf.xml. my attempt was to get them as close to the stock ok3 apns as possible and they are very close. MMS works great, LTE shows up right after boot. I also found that after flashing Unerversal_Boost_APN_fix.zip, sometimes mobile data (LTE) would not come back after WiFi was on and then disconnected like when l left the house for work. Toggling airplane mode did no good. Only a reboot would get LTE back. That problem seems to be solved too.
I also took apart the Universal_Boost_APN_fix.zip provided in the op, studied and compared it to stock files and my ok3 modem logs.
In the fixprop.sh, the
sed -i 's/ro.telephony.default_network=.*$/ro.telephony.default_network=8/' /system/build.prop
Command sets the build.prop ro.telephony.default_network to =8
But in both L720 and SPARK, stock boost ok3 the network is =10 so I edited that.
Also I found that
sed -i 's/gsm.operator.numeric.*$/gsm.operator.numeric=311870/' /system/build.prop
Makes the build.prop call for the apns with the numeric tag =311870. but in the apn_conf.xml the apn numeric tag was = 310120 so I just changed the apn to =311870 so now the build.prop will set the right apns on boot.
Something else I found when reading modem logs from both the L720 and the spark is that in the spark, the modem actually calls for
ro.product.name=jflterefreshspr and ro.build.product=jflterefreshspr from the build.prop
I never could find out why it would need that ( and I tried) but my deductive reasoning tells me that it must have to do with initiating tri-band traffic somehow on the network. It only happens on boot but never after that. The L720 ok3 modem does not call for a name from the build.prop at all. So I added commands to the fixprop.sh to change some of the values to the =jflterefreshspr SPARK name and =L720T in the build.prop as well.
Of course, that makes the install.zip proprietary and not unerversal anymore and L720 users would need there own version so here's what I have guys.
All credits go to the original creators of these scripts. All I did was make a few changes.
Flash cm13, gapps(or not), then the APN.zip and reboot.
Note: You might notice after a reboot that the carrier will display as "sprint" but toggling airplane mode then displays "boost mobile" don't worry, it's just a display issue. network and mobile data work with no issues. I think it's something in cm13. started happening around 07/09 nightly
Sorry for the long drawn out post!! :silly:

Will this work with other ROMs as well, or only CM?
I want to flash Wicked X, but I'm on boost.
The apn.zips should work on any AOSP ROM.
Not for TouchWiz ROMs
You don't need it for WickedX.
WickedX will install BoostID and set your apn settings right after it boots the first time just like stock boost ROM. After all, it is just the stock Samsung firmware with a bunch of mods added to it.
AOSP(CyanogenMod) is NOT Samsung firmware. It is compiled completely from a different source which is why the .zips are needed
If you're running CM13 stock, CM doesn't use muppets, with my build I did, so might be tempted to do a build soon, might not, truth be told I kinda gave up because of how much of a pain in the ass CDMA and MVNO's are becoming.
