I have a HTC hero with mobi pcs, a hawaiian regional carrier that runs off they own towers and no big parent company (verizon, att,etc). My question is that if I flash to a new rom does the rom get rid of the prl and all the information to connect to the certain network I'm on. The hero is laggy and since the updates go thru the carrier with android I doubt my lil company will update us.
I have checked google n whatnot but when someone asks a question like this the thread always goes into another topic and the original answer is not fully answered. Thanks ya'll!
PS. Cdma network so I thought this would be the right catagorie to post lol

cant answer for sure...i BELIEVE a sprint based rom would mess with your service somehow. definatly dont flash fresh2.0d, which DOES affect your pri
sorry i cant be more of a help.
are you rooted? and if so, what recovery?
after my last response, i vaugly remember reading another thread similiar to this. ill link you tomaro
It shouldnt mess with connection. Since im pretty sure a rom doesnt mess with the radio on your phone.
If you do root your phone and get amon-RA-v1.6.2 you can make a nandroid backup. Which is a backup of your entire rom. You can have that to always go back to.
Use DamageControl 2.07.2.. If your connection doesnt go threw right away, then go to setting>about phone>Update Profile and Update PRL.. Both would fix your connections with your carrier.
If that fails to connect, then just nandroid back to your defualt rom.
But im 95% sure it would work.
MAKE sure you do Backup/Restore>Nandroid backup

Now I see the ways to root a non Sprint hero with the sprint ruu then choose don't change Pri, flash to sprint ruu and root it that way. I don't like the idea of flashing it to sprint.LOL. what would be the best way to root it?
There is a way to Root non sprint heros.
I think you have to ruin an SD card, but IMO it's worth it.
ALSO
There is a 1 special ROM for NON Sprint Hero's. I really can't for the life of me remember what its called....maybe "Unsung Hero" or something like that.
But it does not mod PRIs or PRLs like some of the Sprint Roms do.
You can search on "Root Non Sprint Hero" to come up with the how to root with a "Gold Card"
Then you can search for
"Non Sprint ROM"
and get that rom for NON Sprint HEROs.
OK OK. Mahalo for everyone speedy reply! VERY HELPFUL!
Now I wonder how to get sprevovery or clockwork on it to do a full backup Oh the stock/unrooted rom. Like as how for I dump this rom so I can recover it later, maybe even with the pri /prl within it in case anything goes wrong. You guys are effing great, so much knowledge here!!!!
My friend got this phone off Ebay and I have it flashed with CM7 rom. He's trying to be it working on Page Plus and they say he needs to get it working on Sprint first with a stock rom?
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get this working on Page Plus instead of Sprint?

Actually is not a Stock ROM but any ROM which you can get in to EPST or DIAG Mode so PagePlus can program your phone manually.
That's what I did to hero to works with my carrier.
if its sprint branded, it needs to be flashed back to stock with an ruu. if you dig through the hero cdma forums, you will be able to find it. if not message me, i just dont have the link handy. im pretty sure if you click on my name and look through my posts, somewhere in there i posted a link to it.
from there you can use epst to program it, did pageplus accept the phone's esn? if so then once its flashed back to stock sprint rom just take it to their store and they should be able to very easily get it set up with data, calling etc.
I recently unlocked my sprint htc one and im trying to use it on tmobile, everything works, i even get 3g data but the big problem is that the network settings doesnt automatically choose the tmobile network and it disconnects way, way to often, when it disconnects i have to manually search for the network every time as it wont select it automatically. I think that whats needed is a Sprint gsm rom for it to work as it should or maybe a flashable patch. if anybody has the knowledge, i would appreciate it. big thanks!!!

The print htc one is a world phone, just like they make roms for the rezound from verizon, which is a world phone as well or the droid 3 global, they make botch cdma roms and gsm roms. So now we need a gsm compatible rom.

Even if you are able to use it with tmobile, go to settings ->Mobile Data -> Network Mode and choose GSM/UMTS only
tryed that

The only thing I can think of is to download a gsm Rom and swapout the boot.img and see if it will work. But that's just me taking a guess at it, I'm no developer or anything

Don't flash any Rom unless it's sprint compatible. Intl/other carrier roms have different mount points and will make your phone reboot/drop service with only fix being RUUing

Absolutely not. That's your one-way ticket to RUU-hell land. It's not just differences in the kernel, but also in how the internal storage is partitioned. I'm pretty surprised that even with GSM/UMTS you're having trouble. Anyone know if the stock PRL for the Sprint ROM might be interfering (i.e. the phone is trying to search for one of Verizon's CDMA towers first)?
If anyone wants, just send me the updater-script from a GSM ROM, and I will change the mount points to be for Sprint. Like that you can flash the GSM rom. However, I would like to know if there is anyone brave enough (with S-Off) to flash the firmware bits of the GSM phones (radio, adsp, rpm, and maybe the sbl*; not the bootloader and recovery).
The radio.img is the most dangerous thing... But I think getting the GSM f/w on the GSM-unlocked Sprint phone will be a good thing. Unless, anyone knows that the radios are different? I know the mount points are different, but does anyone have any info on the firmware itself?
Anyway, just let me know if you wanna try to flash a GSM rom, I will update the mount points for you.

I was playing around with qpst and on service programming on the umts tab system there is an option "preceded network selection" and is set to limited, I try changing it but it won't let me write to phone, I think that's what sprint did to limit connection of gsm in USA
ill try it

Be careful messing with radio's, that's one thing if you get wrong will kill your phone forever, you must have a 4G enabled phone (M7_UL) have a look for this in the bootloader and also a 4G enabled sim, your network provider will provide you with one if your paying for a 4G service.

I have the m7_UL, I currently have 3 apn settings available. Two are for lte other one is straight talk. I set the phone to lte as the preferred signal. I also received recently a 4g plan with 4g.
I'm going to try my family's sim cards, they run on 4g.
Tried mine on their phones and theirs on mine. All sim cards run on 4g. What could be wrong with my m7?

custom rom could easily be the fault, unstable or corrupt lib or system files etc, go back to stock to be sure.
EDIT: pulled from post 1: All basic functions should be intact. But DO expect there to be bugs. This is an early build.
I'll give it a go

Lots of people in that thread cant get 4G working, open the thread from your original link and in the search this thread box just type 4G, you'll see all the problems, read a couple of pages myself, its a very buggy rom ATM.
If your looking for a 5.0 rom then you could try DU or AICP. Both last i knew had LTE working in them. CM12 is not gonna be the most stable at the moment.

i'm running stock
4.3
sorry for delay
got back to running a modified version of T-mobile's stock rom, I got 4G speeds and even Wifi calling, my camera was not working for 2 years and this rom seems to have fixed it too. I am very satisfied at the moment, here is to hope that the non t-mobile Lollipop update comes with 4G capabilities as well.
here is a link to the rom I installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499452
I currently have the m7vwz. (Which is disconnected)
I plan on flashing to CricKet.
My question is , When it comes to software ( ROMS ) What exactly is the difference between the M7 Variants ? I have heard someone mention mount points? I know that the APNs are going to be different , but what else is there ?
( Since my phone has been disconnected, I have flashed Viper ROM from the M7 thread. No issues . I only use wifi )
Once I complete flashing my phone over to CricKet, Would I still need to use the m7vwz Roms ?
Also, On most HTC phones I was able to dial ##775# or ##3778# in order to get to the NAM programming options. I've tried many roms, and I am still unable to get to these menus . I understand I may need to flash a patch to get to the DIAG menu, if so Where might I find the correct one?
Once I flash over and get my ROM Tweaked, Ill share in case anyone else may want to flash over to CricKet .
Thanks in advanced
