I am having weird problems getting this to work. Last week I messed up my usb port on my phone. GPS has always worked fine on my phone. I've been using the Telus server for months. I got a new XV6800 from Verizon and put the same version rom and radio that I had on the original one with all the same software. I did the aGPS fix and now it doesn't work. On my original phone as soon as something would access the gps hardware it would make a data connection or activate the connection if it was already there. This phone doesn't make a data connection at all. No matter what I do it will not make a data connection. Made the registry and QPST settings exactly the same as the original phone. I even put my battery in the original phone and ran a gps tool and it tried to make a data connection. What could be going on here??? I am out of ideas.
Can you get a data connection with IE. If not you need to do a hard reset and then try again.
My friend had an XV6800 AND got a new one from Verizon a week before me and has the same exact problem. Yeah, I can get a data connection fine with IE. GPS just doesn't initiate a connection anymore on this phone. Its like it doesn't even try to use agps. The only differences I could find are these. Not sure if this matters:
New Phone
PRL Version: 51433
PRI Version: 2.03_002
Old Phone
PRL Version: 51345
PRI Version: 1.35_002
Are you running the stock MR1 or MR2 rom
Nope, using the same rom and radio that I used all along on the old phone.
DCD 3.2.6
Radio 3.42.30
isn't there a verision cab file you have to run to fill in the network and password info to access the data network?

I never said I was having an issue with a data connection at all. I fixed the issue already. The new rom that the phone came with had a PRI version that blocked GPS. I had to flash an older Verizon radio and rom and then flash the new radio and dcd rom to fix it. Phone is fine now.
I just flashed my Sprint Mogul 6800 with wm6.5 build 21501. Google maps worked perfect yesterday. Today google maps can't find a gps and tries to connect with the internet sharing connection I setup last night. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

From what I've read in the Upgrading section even if it came with MR1 or MR2 you must first flash to a stock Verizon ROM that is PRE MR1, then flash your custom ROM, then set up your aGPS settings in QPST and then it should work fine again.
Hope that helps.
EDIT: It may be a pre-GPS (no GPS support) Verizon ROM that you need to flash with. I don't have Verizon so I am no 100% sure.

Don't know if it helps in this case... But I had the same problem today... I used my GPS 2 days ago and then for seemingly no reason I could not get a lock today. I soft and hard reset 3 times with no luck. About 30min later I remembered that I installed one of those stealth programs (in case you lose or get you phone stolen you can sms your phone and it will send you the GPS coords of where it is) so I uninstalled it and Voila! I had a lock in seconds. Is it possible that you are getting a compatibility issue with a program that you thought nothing of at the time of install?
Just a thought, hope it helps
What program were you using??

Not sure if you were asking me, but if so it was Smart Phone Tracker 1.37.0.0

The GPS will lock... but takes forever and is not using data to do it.
I have checked and double checked everything, but its exactly as the wiki says it should be.

my xv6700 radio=none .
I want to use mtty to backup the radio from another xv6700,and then update this xv6700. but I can not backup the xv6700 radio with mtty. please help me!
thanks
why back it up? go to ppcgeeks.com and sign up and you can get all the roms from there. The newest is 1.41. I just did it like 2 days ago, at my house I got maybe one bar, now I get 3 atleast. It was a great update.
because one of other damage the radio, it is radio=none!
so I want to use the miniSD backup a normal radio to replace the bad one!
thanks
Forget this post, look at the one below.
Oh, and the miniSD would have nothing to do with it. MTTY is on the comp so it would save it to the comp, and to the best of my knowledge you can't flash an Apache from the miniSD card.
Go here, only thing I could find on getting your ROM back (hard reset), amazing what searching can do:

He already has the radio. He just can't put it all together apparently.
try esn repair procedure.
No, once the radio is no longer showing on on the booting process it is gone, It is a hardware issue and not software related. I dont care how many times you flash or with what ROM you flash with. The radio is gone and it is not coming back. I worked my azz off on a device with the same issue. I re-flashed my own ROM, I flashed with an OEM ROM. I copied files from a working 67 to the bad 67 and nothing. I used SPB Clone from a good and working 67 to the 67 with no radion and still nothing.
Believe me it is dead. What you guys are failing to read is in his first post his radio on bootup says "none". That means hardware failure, I.E. DEAD.
Go get a replacement from a claim or ebay.
IF, i said if, esn and checksum of $SYS.ESN are wrong its the same situation but radio should flash. im gonna mess around with the one i already have, its on the same situation. ill let u know if anything.

I have a HTC Vogue (100) w/WM6.1 that a friend gave me and have been considering Flashing over to MetroPCS. I know the phone will do talk/text and even though MetroPCS says no DATA, I see people have enabled that as well with flashed ROMs. So now i'm just a bit confused as to the proper steps to take:
1) Do I unlock/flash the phone before or after MetroPCS flashes it to their system?
2) If MetroPCS assumes no DATA do I have to convince them to put me on a DATA plan anyway in order to set up DATA?
Sorry for what may seem to others as basic knowledge but I could quite figure this stuff out - information overload.
Thanks,

As long as you're putting a WinMo ROM on it, it shouldn't matter which one it is.

I'm sorry. I don't understand how that answers my question.
You can flash the ROM before you bring it to MetroPCS if you want. I don't think it matters to them what ROM is on the phone for them to activate it, as long as it's a Windows Mobile ROM and not Android.

Successfully flashed the imcokeman 2.31 bootloader and flashed the ROM as linked to above by egzthunder1. No problems so far as I can tell. I have not been to MetroPCS to activate it yet. The only thing i've played with so far is GPS but I am not getting any satellites. I did change the Settings->Personal->Location to ON from 911 but still no go.

Actually, it does matter because Houdini soft will likely not recognize anything above 6.1 (phone codes simply will not work from a custom rom with a custom skinned dialer). If you successfully unlocked it, there is no need to re-lock it or anything like that. Just flash back to stock, and then take it to MetroPCS. Once the device has been configured, you can switch roms. This is necessary because most MPCS customer reps are not familiar with any of these.
Thanks for the info, that's what I was looking for. Now to just locate that stock rom and away we go.
Thanks again!

Just a quick update. I downloaded .40 unlocker and the stock Verizon ROM and successfully flashed my Vogue back to stock. It did hit a hickup erroring out at 8% on the first try but the software was able to recover correctly. I don't recall the exact error but I know it has to do with the USB connection. When I unplugged/replugged the phone it didn't switch back to the USB connection (on the phone), it stayed on Serial. Second attempt worked perfectly.
I still haven't made it to MetroPCS to flash the phone yet though.
I am on the 3 Network(UK), my phone is branded, no lagfix, no root, im on froyo 2.2 oficial upgrade through kies.
Can someone please give me a simple step by step guide on how to upgrade to the JPY 2.2.1 firmware please, i have the 3 button recovery option btw.
Thank you in advance.

I'd go for a custom rom jpy based like docs or darkys and install through clockwork or you can go to samfirmware to download jpy and use odin to flash it up to you or just do as above and use patcher but jpy is definetly worth it.
The first time i tried the kies patch utility i got a messags saying there were more than 1 phone folders which threw me a bit, but managed to sort it in the end.
So now on ....

Hi Kayno
Set the "Enable Spoof" to True
Set "Spoof product code as" to XEU from the list
Then click on the Write Regstry button in the bottom right
Thats all you have to do, then voila when you start kies and connect your phone you should have a popup saying a firmware upgrade is available.
Good luck

Also did you save the Rom through Kies. Was a bit confused when i read this part on the Kies Registry patcher thread.
By the way hows your experience with the new firmware been so far. Is 3G and WIFI working correctly. Have you tried the app market. Hows the overall speed of the phone and is gps working better now.
Sorry for all these questions but i just wanted to determine whether the risk of updating is worth it.

No, i didnt save the Rom, 3g and Wifi are working fine but you will lose the My3 app because you will be basicly debranding your fone(if you are on contract), but if you start the default browser it takes you direct to My3 .
Havnt tried GPS , dont use it tbh.
The speed of the phone is so much smoother imo, im so glad i upgraded.
Hope that helps

Jaytwo,
My installation failed. Did you manage to flash it on the first go. I did exactly as you said. The thing is it finishes downloading in about 15 mins then fails installation. I also had the multiple folder detected problem. I clicked on ok on the registry patcher to delete the folder and re-started keys with the sgs connected.
The phone disconnects and after about couple of minutes is says Failed to convert to upgrade mode. Please try later.
Does anyone else know how to fix this? Am i doing anything wrong
thanking you in advance
Yes it flashed first time for me.
When the phone disconnected did you do anything?
I noticed when i flashed that the phone disconnected but i didnt touch anything and left it to carry on, it took a while but all went well in the end.
Try flashing again, just to check do you have the 3 button recovery option on your phone?

Hi Jaytwo,
I have not touched the phone when it disconnected as i remember from a previous upgrade to Froyo from Eclaire when it disconnected and then reconnected before completing the upgrade.
I have the 3 button recovery i checked it. The wierd thing is the phone did not reboot to downloading mode where the yellow android digging man picture appears. The phone stays as it is. I wonder whether samsung changed anything recently.
kingconnought, on the main registry patcher thread also mentioned he is experiencing the same problem.
Can anyone else help.
Thanks again
I dont understand why your phone will not go into download mode as that is part of the flashing process.
Try doing a factory reset through settings on your phone, then try flashing again, apart from that im not sure what else you can do apart from flashing thru odin?

LOL... This will be my 5th time.
By the way i thought il tell you this. If you ever want to for God knows whatever reason re-brand your phone to 3 then select the H3G product code and it should Flash your phone to the latest 3 branded Froyo which is JP5.
If i have to resort to Odin then i might as well wait for 3 to update their version to 2.2.1 as im too scared to Flash via Odin as there is too many risks associated with it. Or who knows Samsung may decide to release another version which might work.
Thanks

It was 5th time lucky thanks to your recommendation to factory reset the phone. i factory set the phone again after upgrade and it is taking off like a rocket. Still yet to check everything but i have lost access to My3 as you said. I will let you know if i can manage to get access again.

Hey all, i got this serious problem.
I've flashed most of the cutom roms right after buying the phone but at some moment i decided i wanted to return to stock again as the phone was behaving weird. I did, was a TNL 4.3 dutch stock rom. After some months i began to encounter no reception problems, it first started once a week for a whole day then it was 3 days problems 1 day reception. I then decided to flash a new 4.4 custom rom to see if it solves the issue but it didnt, i tried to flash a 4.3 rom and then the no sound/black screen/ phone dialer freezes started to occur. I flashed the 4.4 UFNA1 modem, it still persists, i flashed the nightly 4.4 rom and reflashed the UFNA1 modem twice (which was done correctly) and i still have no sound etc... What am i doing wrong here? I feel terrible as i also have no warranty left ofcourse.. Btw. I tried flashing to several stock roms by ODIN which coused the program to freeze and the phone went into a bootloop, which could be fixed by just flashing a custom recovery, and after that ofcourse a custom rom.. Very strange! Someone has an idea??
thanks

Hey, didn't i just flash a modem? Which fixed the sound/freeze bug etc? What if i reflash another (4.3) one and get that old problem again? (im on 4.4.2) I tried selected gsm/lte/wcdma settings manually, the phone was totally dead. My little brother who owns exactly the same phone and carrier (tmobile) have had 0 problems with his phone, he never touched it though and only recently upgraded to 4.3 by KIES. I tried switching out sim cards and my card worked on his phone, but his card didn't work on mine.

(im on 4.4.2) I tried selected gsm/lte/wcdma settings manually, the phone was totally dead. My little brother who owns exactly the same phone and carrier (tmobile) have had 0 problems with his phone, he never touched it though and only recently upgraded to 4.3 by KIES. I tried switching out sim cards and my card worked on his phone, but his card didn't work on mine.

We already fixed the Sound problem and Im sure that signal Dropping issue can fix it easy just flashing a different modem/ or setup the right APN.
Hey all, the XXUFNA5 modem helped out great, untill today where i'm getting no reception at all again.. i'm on the Google Edition 4.4.2 rom prerooted for about 3 days. My speeds and reception were great before this and had no sound/freezing issues aswell. Anybody know what to do?? If i look in the REF modem topic, it's not showing any new modems? Am i missing something? Thanks in advance!!!

Come on guys, not one reply? This is urgent, need some help!
I'm having this reception problem ever since I got this phone from my friend overseas I tried everything flash stock ROM ,change modems, flash custom roms and still no signal I tried different Sim cards also, I'm guessing maybe something is wrong with the main board? So I just gave up and started using it as a media phone alone
Sorry I'm a noon, don't do all those font sizes and colours and pictures aha but basically... I've been on CyanogenMod for about a year now and have never had WiFi issues. Been using cm12 nightlies for most of this year with no problem however, after updating my nightly the past two days I've been experiencing WiFi Drops happening every min and a half or so. So annoying. I've used Wifix apps etc, no luck. I've reverted to old night lies I used to run without any problems however the problem stays. I've consider flashing back to TouchWiz to see if that helps it but I really don't want to
Can someone please help me. My phone is on contract and my bill is overdue so I won't have mobile data until it's cleared (around June) so if I don't have WiFi, I'm screwed.

Have you tried flashing a new modem? This generally fixes wifi (and sound issues if there are any)
I barely know what a modem is haha but if that's the case, I'll try today.
Here you have a list of modems. Read the topic as it also has some info and the flashing guide.
You need to go to sammobile firmware checker and input your phone model, country and carrier. Then it will show you the correct firmware for your country and carrier. Based on that, download the modem. Make sure you get the latest modem. If you can't find the latest modem on the linked thread, there was another thread with all the latest modems, but I can't seem to find it anymore.

I'm on 5.02 CM12, I downloaded the latest modem for my GT-I9505 which matched the firmware code for a 4.4.2 S4 however still no luck ffs. This is really annoying, i don't know how my WiFi could jist shut off on me like that :/. Looks like I'm going to have to buy myself a new phone then. Can't use my mobile data for a couple months as my carrier has blocked me until I pay off my bill and now with my wifi disconnecting every 2 mins, I basically cannot use the internet. So frustrated.
I've flashed new nightlies, changed baseband versions, factory reset my phone and still no luck. What makes things worse is i cannot see any other threads with people in my postition so help is so minimal :/. Annoyed is an understatement.

Hi mate ,
Try flashing a new modem it never hurts but wifi is kernel control , see what kernel you had before when it was working good ,check if it was changed in the las upgrade... reflash old kernel again or try a different one

Go back to stock firmware if you haven't updated the bootloader.
If it works fine on stock, then re-root your phone and try again with CM12.

Hi ,
yes can still flash an stock rom....but why you do not try first
flash a different modem
flash a different kernel
If every thing else fails flash a stock rom, what model S4 do you have I9505?

I flashed a modem *read above* and nothing's happened... I even tried flashing WiFi fixes and it hasn't done anything
I didn't know kernels could fix a WiFi problem, I might try that.

Check and see i if power save is on , if so switch it off
Dial *#0011#
This will take you into the Service Mode
Press the left bottom key new menu will show
Select Wifi... Once in the Wifi settings , turn it off...
Do you have to refresh the password? just in case check this
Go to /system
Open the built.prop
search for ro.securestorage.support
If it says true , change to false
Save and reboot
Also if you are skill check the antenna cable inside the phone..maybe is just loose

Grrr... Power save is off
When I dial that code, the phone does nothing...does the fact that I cannot turn on my mobile data stop me from dialing this code? Also, does the fact that I'm on cm12 and not on touchwiz stop me from using this?
& I have no password on my phone and there was no ro.securestorage.support ... I found this "ro.wifi.channels=" if that helps?

The code should work maybe is because CM , well last option would be to flash a stock rom and see how it goes........how you know power save is off?
BTW in your wifi setting there is no proxy ? did you try to delete settings and do a new one?

Damn really didn't want it to get to this, will I lose root access too?
Isn't power save automatically off in the settings? It gives you the option to use it in low battery
& I don't know how to check if there is or isn't proxy. What do you mean by deleting settings?

If you updated bootloader then you can't go back to kitkat roms. Only the 5.0 lollipop roms. But Samsung hasn't released the official update in all countries.
If it still doesn't work, even with official firmware, then it might be hardware related. Maybe even your wifi router.

Hi, i'm going to flash lollipop touchwiz onto my phone using this http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/android-5-...-s4-lte-how-manually-install-via-odin-1492230.
Anything i should know/do before doing this?
Did you flash an alternate kernel?
Wifi issues are often kernel related. Not always...but often.
