go back to stock 2.1 update the app from there, then backup the .apk (astro file explorer has a tool that allows you to do this) then install it in the other builds
which file is it in? I can't find it
its called com.core.apk or something like that im not sure where it hangs out

Yeah, it's something like that in system/app
sprint_core.apk in /system/app there may be an odex. i always rm NameOfApp.*
if you delete the apk it may cause problems(maybe. didnt for me but has for others). you also wont be notified of vm's. youll have to call to check. on a 2.1 rom, that is. thats how it worked for me anyway.
personally, my vm isnt working on my new device. like it never set itself up correctly. if anyone should happen to have a link to some instructions to set this up, that would be fantastic. I hate calling the silly people at sprint. thank you

Flashed your file...same issue...delay in setting up voicemail... Flashed and restarted. Even tried rebooting. No go. My activation message is stuck in the undelivered box.

it didnt work. i removed the original, flashed yours. still have the undelivered message, the activation message. nothing is working, i cant figure it out. and when i called sprint, they reset my vm, so i lost messages and had to set up everything again...
FYI to Impaler, your VVM version in your sig works for those in areas where an official update has not rolled through yet.
Don't know if you are aware, but Sprint recently updated the VVM software to version T.5.1.0.48 (here in TX it was updated the last week of October). Note that Sprint CSR will not be able to help you reset it unless you are on a Sense ROM. Period.
Two options to fix on your non-Sense ROM... there is an updated .apk floating around on these boards (might need to PM someone for it). Get it and install via your file manager.
Or...
Other way is to nandroid your current ROM, then flash a Sense ROM like Fresh's most current. Then, update your PRL and Profile, then go into the VVM and press Menu and update Sprint VVM.
Then, either try to nandroid back to your original ROM and check to see if that does it (haven't tried that, but it might work)... or else... yes, you will need to pull the updated com.coremobility.app.vnotes from the Sense ROM and install the pulled .apk into your new ROM.
Hope this helps.
mr. implaler, I have used yours for the last weeks successfully, so thank you. I just ran into the same problem with the mandatory upgrade, and it is an update i did before I rooted my phone. the VM did work this morning on MUIU but i loaded MYN and that is when my issue started.
Hope someone can firgure it out
thanks again implaler

I had 9016 in the blocked texts list. Hope this helps you.
Excellent...let me add to this...
I suppose using variations of ROMS that don't include VVM and block 9016 caused this issue.
You can unblock 9016 by going to your account online, under "My Devices," then "My Preferences." Scroll down to the "Limits and permissions" section. You will see the "Block Texts" link there.

Ok cool, well glad it worked for a few people
Running Beanstalk.
Have been having intermittent issues with mobile data, so I'm sadly familiar with toggling Airplane mode, changing the CMDA subscription, rebooting, etc. in order to jog mobile data into working again. Lately have been having a weird, sporadic problem with people I call only hearing static on my end, so I chatted with Sprint, got to the point where they suggest typing the code to reset/update PRLs into the dialer, and bailed.
Then, in my infinite wisdom decided to try flashing a Sense ROM, proceeding with the manual PRL update/reset, and then wiping and restoring my Beanstalk nandroid.
Now I can't make or receive calls or texts at all, no matter what I do. Have tried all the old toggles. Have tried a complete reflash of Beanstalk. I'm beginning to worry I seriously borked something up.
Is anyone familiar with this kind of situation? Did I screw up, and if so, how bad? Any solutions anyone can think of? I'd be most grateful for any and all help. Thanks guys.

Okay here is what you can do, there is an app floating around these forums that can allow you to manually write the prl, find that, and then use a stock prl for sprint. I believe this post will help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2296167
Let me know if that helps.
Oh and also yeah flashing a different rom wouldnt help because they do not contain any of that information, in fact i think all the carrier information is stored in a different partition for this exact reason -so they cant be easily overwritten.
I build the Beanstalk here and haven't come across that issue yet. Do you have a backup of your original stock ROM? You need to get back to straight stock, like out of the box stock. From there, you can update your prls or anything else OTA-style, check your functionality, then redownload the Beanstalk ROM from here, do a full wipe(no internal data), install the fresh DL, Gapps, fix permissions(PhilzTouch 6.0.3.3 only), and reboot. Should be good to go and should only need to toggle airplane for reboots and occasionally for the wifi. Let me know how it goes, either here, on the BS thread or by PM. Good luck....
If you have no original back up(after getting back to straight stock, MAKE ONE), then use Bigdaddy619s threads on getting back to stock. After that, then follow the steps above.
You should always make an original back up of stock directly after rooting and unlocking. ALWAYS

BMP - Beanstalk rules - it's definitely my fault. If I have a back-up made just after getting S-OFF, would that work?
matinm90 - thanks for the info...that explains exactly what the problem I'm having is.
I'll try these solutions out and post back. Thanks again guys.

Your welcome and yeah it should defintely work, just make sure you use the right prl
Worked!
I think what I'd originally goofed was not immediately rebooting after the prl update, since the Sprint lady didn't mention that step (or maybe I didn't hear her). This time I immediately rebooted and data came back, and then I was able to flash BeanStalk and stay functional.
Many thanks to both of you!

I think there are many more qualified than I to do that. But I will try to devote some time this week to finding drivers, lollipop SDK for windows, etc. Then, when I get the phone unlock it and record all the steps. Then (if successful) post them. Hoping all the while that someone else beats me to it.
Well for one thing you won't need to download the SDK at all.
Just get this: [TOOL]Minimal ADB and Fastboot Just tested it on Windows 10 and it works fine.
I searched for N6 drivers and couldn't find any. Motorola has a "software & drivers" section but it's empty right now.
No TWRP yet, either.

It will come after root but google needs to post the factory images first.
Also of you download the google SDK then tap build number 7 times to enable Dev options you will be able to check he box that says allow OEM unlock. Then it's just a quick fastboot command

It seems to work even without checking the OEM unlock in developer settings. I forgot all about that and ran fastboot unlock the second I opened the box and it worked without any issues.

Yeah but TWRP took a week or two to get on the Nexus 9 after it was rooted so it will be a while. I just want root so I can install a new camera app that I have to manually move.

Someone else did that without hitting the box and they got a softbrick so you got lucky. It's dumb that they added that extra step but I'm glad it's still unlockable.

Its up to you but only yours has the full stock flashable rom. I think if people always read the OP's, then there won't be problems. Seems people don't take the time to read OP anymore but just jump in and ask, "How do I flash this". I usually now just ignore those post especially if the info is in the OP. Personally, I think all the threads serve their own purpose and each one is for different things.

39A no longer has the internet connection. Make sure in Developer Settings you have USB Debugging checked, and use MTP mode. That will activate Debugging mode.

There hasn't been much talk around here about the download booster since G900AUCU2AND3 was the latest firmware about 6 months ago. You'd have to downgrade back to NCE and do some other tweeks before you can get that running without losing your GPS or Camera. There is a guide somewhere around here for that. So on lolipop right now, no.
And that nova launcher tweek doesn't really work either like some people claim. It only unhides the feature but doesn't get it to actually work.
I had it working on 4.4, was just wondering since like you said theres not been much talk.g900v has it so maybe port it from there?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
It worked in XDK but that was based on a g900f rom which is why I assume it worked. Perhaps I'll need to do this to get it working again. I'll try to look into it but I have so much on my plate I can't promise anything yet.
Ahh download booster is in AllianceROM which I'm running right now. So this seems to be the case. Just wait patiently. It'll find its way back eventually

It worked in XDK but that was based on a g900f rom which is why I assume it worked. Perhaps I'll need to do this to get it working again. I'll try to look into it but I have so much on my plate I can't promise anything yet.

There hasn't been much talk around here about the download booster since G900AUCU2AND3 was the latest firmware about 6 months ago. You'd have to downgrade back to NCE and do some other tweeks before you can get that running without losing your GPS or Camera. There is a guide somewhere around here for that. So on lolipop right now, no.
And that nova launcher tweek doesn't really work either like some people claim. It only unhides the feature but doesn't get it to actually work.

This Link was the original guide to install Download booster. I'm sure there are updated methods to installing it, so you should search for those. (I followed this guide, but had some issues so I just stopped using it.)
Anyways, follow the guide all of the way to the end. Then open up Rom Toolbox Pro, or similar app. Locate RTBP's app manager, then go to the Settings.apk, tap on it, then go to "Advanced Freeze"
Scroll down until you see Download Booster, tap on it to Enable. (It is disabled by default.)
Reboot phone and it should work... for a little while. For whatever reason mine keeps turning off. I guess I should have used the files that were updated for 4.4.4.
Common sense would indicate this (but I'm lazy) but if I had to guess, Just download the 5.x version of the files indicated in the guide above and then enable download booster in the advanced freeze menu. It will probably work then...
Hope this helps.
P.S. I'm pretty sure you won't have to downgrade. But if you do, I suggest that you refrain from doing so. In the end, it will only be an @$$ pain.
P.P.S If someone wants to smali these files on the 5.x firmware for AT&T I'll see if I can edit/recompile them for download booster. After that I will need the 5.x Download booster.apk and I will try to write a more comprehensive guide.

Make a backup before you do anything
1) Just follow the link I posted earlier, with exception that the files come from a more recent ROM (i.e 5.0).
2)Be sure to copy/install them to the correct location.
3)Then use whatever app that allows an "Advanced Freeze/Unfreeze" and Unfreeze the Download Booster.
*****Example*******
I have Rom Toolbox Pro, so I would open it. Then tap "App Manager." Then scroll down to "Download Booster," tap on it, then tap "OK" to enable.
Then I nav to the corresponding folder, rename old files to "services.jar.bak" and so on, Then paste/move/whatever the new files into the directory.
*****End Example*****
Once again, I should point out that I have had issues trying to use this. The booster would randomly crash, and other times it would just disable the Activity completely, I'm not sure why it did that though... So I just gave up on this until I can find the updated files.

I have the notion to agree with this statement. My Idea was to take a peak at these files and then add the necessary lines to the AT&T packages, to help ensure compatibility. Then bundle in the DB.apk and viola! (Or, at least in theory it should work... right?)
I just need to find the files in the first place. If you can somehow provide a link the the VZW files, I can try work on it... no guarantees of any kind though.

I had some issues with rom toolbox, so i replaced the services.jar with this one https://www.dropbox.com/s/vziudszmba2l9zm/services.jar (I did backup the original) and rebooted, planning on finishing the process with rom toolbox on boot, but i got stuck at the AT&T logo screen until the battery died, i'm not sure which file you were referring to, but i either used the wrong one or you need to activate download booster immediately after replacement of the file, either way i'm going to have to reflash so anyone else be advised. Didn't have a backup sadly, worse things have happened though.

One of the reasons why AT&T has the download booster disabled is because it's not fully compatible with their software. I got mine working a while ago, but had issues with private mode, hotspot, gps, and camera. It just made the phone too unstable, the reason why the original poster as well as the others from that thread got away from it. It worked best on NCE, but after upgrading, there were too many issues that were never resolved.
