[Q] Difference between m7, m7vwz and m7spr roms? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

different roms same result--stuck at start up

like the title says ive tried all the roms in the development forum and i keep getting stuck at start up the only one that work is the sprint shipped rom
i think it all started when i tried updating roms to MaxSense UI Style found in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649841
i tried to update by the internal memory method, then it got stuck in the touch logo start up screen and since then the only rom that gets pass that screen is the stock sprint rom
any help will be greatly appreciated
Make sure you have a HardSPL version for CDMA or you will not be able to use custom roms on your device.(Assuming you are on CDMA since you posted this in the CDMA forum) Also make sure you have the correct Radio for your CDMA device, each carrier has their own radios for you to flash.
yea ive flashed my phone with custom roms before so everything should be good in that department atleast, i have no clue whats the issue tho, phones unclocked
o WOW....so i just flashed an old custom rom i was using, and it worked.....
anyone know if now its like a requirement to use MTTY to install the new roms that are out? and if it is would the task 29 command that re formats your phone delete whats on your internal memory too? that would be horrible might just keep this rom if thats the case
I never used MTTY to flash. And I flashed about.... 5 different roms to my phone last night(New roms). Maybe thats why I can't get a data connection? I called up sprint to get my PCS Vision username/password but he wouldnt give it to me and made me press dialer codes to try junk. but the unlock code had changed so we couldnt unlock that part. Anyways the phone is about... 2 years old and I have TEP on it, so they are sending me a BRAND NEW Sprint CDMA Diamond Touch. Will it have the same data issues if I flash custom roms on to that one as well? Do I need the PCS Vision info for Sprint?(Only connection is #777 for Sprint but no idea if I need the login settings)
did you tried installing the original shipped Rom for your phone? or maybe a custom rom made for sprint?
would be good to find the login settings just in case idk
I installed a custom rom MADE for sprint. when the phone starts up it does some sort of..... "Hands Free Activation" but always fails on the data part. saying the PCS Vision username/password is wrong when dialing #777.
I still cannot find out what my username and password would be without calling up sprint AGAIN. They are sending me a new phone and everything, but they have some sort of procedure to get it activated and make your data work I am guessing when I receive the new phone monday/tuesday.
Flash back to the stock ROM for sprint. 2.00* and activate, after that is done, you can flash to whatever ROM you want. I had to do this for my Diam500 and once it activated, I installed Moonscape's ROM and everything works perfect.
I've also never used MTTY nor have I had to do many of the suggested methods of what others' have said. I simply installed WMDC for Win 7 x64 Enterprise, updated all the drivers for my phone, unchecked "fast USB sync" on the phone and voila, I can flash anything.
Just my $0.02
try keeping the dial number #777
all other settings with everything blank
no password

I'm not new to this...

I guess I'll get my flame retardant suit on here goes:
I can't seem to get data enabled on my device. I have trouble shot everything possible so I called sprint dreadfully, but since my phone is rooted and running a custom ROM they can't help till I re-vert. I have tried all ways of re verting and have simply failed everytime.
1. How can I revert to non rooted or how can I get the closest to stock so that I can try to enable data on this device?
2. If anyone has any idea why my data isn't working (I have tried profile updating as well as msl codes through sprint also simply enabling mobile networks) I'd be much happier
This is my father's device and I just to get the data flowing.

[Q] Unrooting HTC One running 3.04.651.2 with hboot 1.55

Hi All ,
My apologies if there is a solution to my problem in another thread. I have spent countless hours looking for a way to unroot my Sprint HTC One because the Sprint network can't seem to activate it until I do. Or I need to figure out a way to force the Sprint network to accept my MDN and MSID which can "sometimes" be problematic with rooted devices. It might be easier to just unroot and see if that helps getting the phone to properly activate.
Other than the network connectivity issues, the phone is fully functional. Just cant make calls or send texts.
I am running this ROM based on benny's system dump: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467607 so my device information is:
Android version - 4.3
Sense version - 5.0
Software version - benny's 4.3
Kernel version - [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
Baseband version - 1.00.20.0913_3
Build number - 3.04.651.2 CL251863 release-keys
I've tried everything I can think of to get my device unrooted, but none of the RUUs work due to being on hboot 1.55 s-on or having an older firmware version (1.29.xx or 1.39.xx.)
Is there any method I can use to get completely back to un-rooted stock rom with, relocked boot loader (know how to do that part), stock recovery, etc?
I've looked at so many different threads and google searches and all say you need to be s-off and run RUUs of versions that will either cause my touch screen to not work or worse. If anyone can help me it would be amazing and I would be much obliged.

Ah yes! The 3.04 version wasn't available the last time I read that post! I can confirm that the other that using the 1.29 and 1.31 versions caused serious issues for me and my phone. This post is actually what led me to learn about the issues due to different firmware and file structure between new and older versions.
I'm downloading now. Let me know how it goes!

It's a bit dated, but I am going to try this method if I can find a 3.04 RUU. Note, he is doing this to an S-On phone, which is what we have. So it SHOULD work:good:
Nothing against the first method I posted, but I'd much rather do a RUU and get a clean slate...
There is no RUU for 3.04 yet ( that I know of)...
this is your best (and pretty much only) option: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46565593&postcount=27
Did you ever find a way to resolve this issue? Also did this start after flashing Cyanogenmod? I have the exact same issue and it seems I have exhausted all available resources. Currently have the following setup:
Android version - 4.3
Sense version - 5.0
Software version - 3.04.651.2
Kernel version - [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
Baseband version - 1.00.20.0913_3
Build number - 3.04.651.2 CL251863 release-keys
Noticed that the phone is unable to update PRL correctly. Version will switch from 00000 to 1 to 55016. I am also unable to commit changes to any EPST settings (which is the first thing sprint tried to do). MDN and MSID both currently say 'no' and I can't update.
I'm having the exact same issue with everything working fine but no calls/texts.
I flashed the Guru reset for 3.04 but still no calls/text.
Any other solutions?

Try the following:
Full wipe. Flash the newest stable CM.
Go into Settings > More... (under Wireless & Networks) > Mobile networks > CDMA subscription:
Confirm the following settings:
Network mode = LTE/CDMA/EvDo
CDMA subscription = NV
After you confirm these settings, switch the network mode to CDMA/EvDo only and then back to LTE/CDMA/EvDO.and give it a minute or so, you should see 3G/Phone availability come back. You can test this by dialing a number. You should be able to make a call, or at least get the default Sprint "device is not activated" recording. After confirming this, you can do another wipe and flash back to a stock ROM. You should now have mobile network connectivity back. You may need to Activate the phone again and update the profile/PRL to get back to 100%.

Hmm. That's pretty much the issue that I had except 4G/Wifi was working and 3G/Call/Text didnt seem to be. You might try switching the CDMA mode to SIM and then back to NV to make sure the setting takes. I know CM can be really finicky with network changes.

You may need to flash a stock rom and manually enter you MDN and MSID using the epst menu
no luck
At this point I have not had any luck solving this issue. I used Guru's reset tool as well and believe the problem is the radio firmware. I spent a good deal of time on the phone with Sprint support and with a surprisingly competent technician in the store. He tried to work with multiple different systems they have available to get the phone to recognize the Sprint towers with no success.
He said that the phone just isn't recognizing them in any way and commented that a phone that isn't activated will still show bars of service because the phone gets the signals from nearby towers, but just doesn't know what to do with the signal until activated. In my case, all I see is the "X" above the signal bar graphic.
If you're experiencing the same issue as me, there is nothing Sprint can do to make the phone recognize their towers based on the conversations I've had. I saw my options as:
1. Wait for an RUU to come out or something like that
2. Try out different ROMs - jjmckaskie suggested the newest CM, but I would think others might be worth trying as well. Basically anything that uses different radio firmware
3. Get a new phone - This is the option I've gone with. Since my phone is running a stock ROM and the guy at Best Buy where my insurance is from, didn't check the bootloader (would have said "tampered" and "unlocked"), he assumed I never voided my warranty and sent out for a refurb. This may not work if your insurance is through Sprint though. I'm not sure how thorough they are.

As a last resort you could also try the hard reset code from your dialer by entering ##72786# . You will need to be on a stock rom. You will also need your MSL code (you can usually get this from Sprint support). This will reset EVERYTHING so be mindful. It will also force a hands free activation/Profile/PRL update after the phone reboots which is sometimes useful.

I still took it to Sprint just to see and they fixed it. Downside is my GPS and LTE is messed up again (Me trying to fix those things is the reason all this happened in the first place) but I'd rather not have GPS than not have phone capabilities on my phone (And LTE in Los Angeles is garbage anyway). I think I'm gonna leave my phone alone for a while tho, lol.

Looks like I am going to go this route. I hit ##72786# and it takes me to SCRTN screen. I'm guessing I just hit menu in the top right, then reset? Then it will prompt me for my MSL code?

Yup. I actually dont remember if it does a full wipe, or just forces an activation/profile/PRL update. But either way it's worth a shot.

Sounds like you solved your issue, but for anyone else having trouble....
I re-tried GURU's reset and it worked. The first time I downloaded it over the 4G network. I also downloaded the OTA over the 4G network. My radio has been giving me fits ever since. Finally, I downloaded GURU's reset over WIFI, then made sure the OTA downloaded over WIFI, and my phone is like new again! No radio issues, everything is perfect. Hope this helps some people...

Need help. Sprint Activation.

Immediately after the release of the Sprint update, I tried flashing Insertcoin's ROM which asked for activation of the phone. I am in India intend to use my phone on GSM so, the process could not complete. I switched to Renovate 7.0. The problem is, now I am unable to flash any Sprint specific ROM on the phone as the phone keeps trying to activate and would not go past that screen. I am able to flash international ROMs with Sprint support like Elegancia, Renovate or Viper but not Sprint ROMs. Please let me out of this problem. I am desperate to try the Rage One ROM and other ROM variants.

After downloading the rom.zip open it and go to /system/costumize/AAC/default.xml and find the line(near the bottom) sku_id 10
Change that value to 42, save update archive and flash the ROM. I think it's a base bug, cause that activation screen should pop up, but after a few min it should go away daying unable to activate. Anyway after changing sku_id you should not have problems

Thanks. Will try this and report.
No joy for me. Still stuck at the activation setup in Badboyz ROM.

Problems Flashing International ROMS on N910T

IN the past, we have been able to easily flash roms made for International phones on TMO Devices.
The S5 was the best because the two phones were nearly identical and you could flash any international ROM on a TMO PHONE>
That is not the case now with the NOTE 4 and I hope someone can figure out a fix.
I flashed ECHO a new rom on Inrternational today and at first it wouldnt boot - so I switched the Boot Image with a TMO Kernel Boot Image and then I was able to flash - unfortunately DATA did work. (WIFE WORKS FINE)
When I tried to add my APNS - the eror message I got was 'Insert a Valid Sim". So I am at a a loss and hopeful that someone who is smarter than me can figure out what we need to do to flash International ROMS on N910t.
Aside from having to change the Kernel to a TMO Kernal - something else has to happen so the SIM Card is recognized. (after flashing ECHO, when I went to About Phone/Status - there was no IMEI number listed - which is, I am sure, at the root of the problem)
(FYI - I tried inserting a APN XML from a working TMO ROM and that didn't help at all) that was the only thing I could think of - obvious that I am not a dev, right?
So anyway - I am hoping someone has some ideas and can figure out what we need to do to make this work.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Just a guess: the rom you installed included a modem? AFAIK, you really never want to switch modems from the one you have from your carrier. If you have a nandroid you could try restoring your old original modem from it if that is the problem.
