I'm using mine on Virgin Mobile which requires more changes than metro,and it works fine after ODINing to DL09.

You can update anything you want... ROM, Radio.. ETC... everything for Metro settings are stored in EEPROM.

Flashed and Odined diff radios,roms,kernels on my Fascinate and I'm on Cricket which is very similar to Metro ...everything still works

Wiping date and cache wont erase the metro flash?

cm10 internet problems.

I recently installed cm10 on my new s4 but the 3g speeds are really slow. WiFi is slow too. I saw a forum with the same problem with the HTC one. They said it was a problem with the baseband. Any help would be great because I'm not a huge fan of the stock os even though the internet runs great on it.
anyone know of any basebands that work. I would appreciate any help

You could always try to go to a Touchwiz Rom, update the prl and profile, and then flash back to cm10. I've heard that can speed up data a bit
You also could try flashing the MDL modem with Cm10...that might help as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338919

I don't think updating in the stock rom will have any affect since the internet on the stock rom runs fine. It's only after I install cm10 that the internet starts to bog down.

I did the odin thing and now my stock rom can't use wifi. When I enable it it says an app is trying to get certain permissions and wifi immediately gets disabled. It tells me to reboot the phone and I do so and same problem occurs. I did come to find that when on cm10 the internet does work but the play store and pandora only work on wifi. I get connection errors on 3g with those two apps.
Try to flash a custom kernel or flash a different AOSP ROM.

Not sure why the kernel would affect it. I was trying to find an aokp version that would work for sprint but couldn't find one.
It could help the WiFi issues because when my WiFi wouldn't work I flashed a custom kernel and it would work.

Oh you mean for the stock rom? I don't want to use the stock ROM if I can get the play store and Pandora working on cm10. The stock ROM is saying its a security issue and not just an error with the WiFi so I don't think that would help. The problem started after I installed the modem in Odin.
For both I also recommend checking out that ROM it seems like what you want in a ROM customization, AOSP, and the stabability of CM. Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2312063 if not check the original android development section it is filled with great AOSP roms similar to CM or better.

There is many cases that aosp roms/kernals have slow data speeds. The epic 4g touch was one. All aosp or touchwiz roms with non stock kernal had poor data speeds. This phone may be different. Im running tw rom with kt kernal and data speeds are the same. The prl/profile thing is huge not being able to update it in aosp can cause problems.
I installed pacman ROM and the gapps and Google play immediately stops working and a message pops up every 5 seconds and the internet won't load. I got Google to load once and that was it. I had to switch back to cm10.

I get this message on every ROM I install now unless I restore my cm10 ROM. When I restore my stock ROM WiFi don't work.

Flashing custom rom- does it wipe modem?

I recently switched from rogers to wind, and to do so, I needed to enable the two extra frequencies for penta band, which I have already done.
This said, I worry that if I flash a custom rom, it will wipe my modem and I won't be able to connect to wind's network anymore.
I do have a backup of the original via QPST, but would like to know before messing anything up.
Thanks!
Flashing a Rom does not touch the modem. It may mess up your apn settings though so if you have problems make sure they're set up correctly.

[Q] Boost flashed no 3G when on custom ROM

My S4 is flashed to Boost Mobile. Whenever I install a custom ROM I get no 3G or 3G appears for no more than 2 seconds then its 1X. I nandroid backuped to stock and same problem so then I installed a Stock Deodexed NG2 Refitted ROM and right when this ROM boots Boost ID pops up it installs apps and puts it to my boost homescreen setting and my 3G and everything works fine. APN settings are the same when I switch ROMs so I have no idea what the problem is. I want to install a custom ROM like NegaLite but I am stuck at this point.
Have you tried using an app like apn backup and restore?
What are your apn settings on aosp? Are you on the latest modem firmware?

Right now I am on NG2 4.4.2 Stock deodexed NG2 Refitted ROM. This is the only ROM that my 3G works. My 3G worked on stocked rooted then I went to Negalite didn't work. So I nandroid to my stock rooted and 3G didn't work anymore so I tried this ROM i currently am on and it works.
My apn settings are all Sprint APNs and everything works fine and when I flash a ROM my APns are still the same but 3g is ****. I tried using APN backup and restore on this ROM it lets me disable ICS Check but when I install a different ROM that doesn't work so I can't use it. I even tried moving it to the system. I appreciate your reply

Are you sure it's true 3g on the refitted ROM. Sometimes it shows 3g but its really 1x. You can check under about phone status. 3g normally works for me as soon as I flash..no need to add apns. I only have to edit mmsc in APN settings to get MMS.
That's what usually happens to me. I installed Sac's ROM and everything works and I actually really like this ROM so I'm going to stay on here. I'm still trying to figure out how to remove this data stat notifiation or something on the top right and also how would I remove a NO SIM notification since I'm on Boost now I don't need a SIM

Lost data trying to Install LeeDroids Nougat

I was on Santod040's Perfume Port 1.96.617.20 8.0_g CL801953 release-keys with the 1.85.605.8 firmware. Backed up everything in TWRP. Downloaded LeeDroids latest stable version then formatted my SD card in TWRP. Then installed LeeDroid unencrypted with MM firmware. Had no data, so i then restored my backup. to Perfume and now i get no data still.
Prefered Network is LTE/CDMA
APN is set to Verizon Internet
Not sure what else it could be

Tried Global and I wiped the radio then reflashed new radio and latest MM firmware.
The weird thing that worked was re formatted my SD card again then installed LeeDroids MM Rom Encyrpted. and then i got data back. Re formatted SD then installed Nougat switched to global and now i'm golden.
Thanks for suggestions though

Appreciate this heads up!
Thought I booked it, but luckily didn't.
MM firmware. Multirom.
stock VZW MM ROM, AOKP MM ROM and Leedroid N ROM. All working great, just no VoLTE or Wi-Fi calling on N ROM.

yea, i wiped radios, ruu'd.. all of the things. I couldnt get any advanced service back, new sim, ruu, radio wipe and i was good to go. My thought on it is, if people want to switch CID, install stock nougat, turn advanced calling off prior, i think it will make life easier in the long run

Good thinking. ATM, it may be worth the trouble (depending on how long Verizon will be :laugh since the only thing that really are giving up is HD Calling, and I haven't personally confirmed that I have it working on my current setup anyway. Honestly though, I am very happy where I am right now, N is running great and a reboot brings my to stock ROM if in a quick pinch thanks to multirom (how is this the first device I've used this on:silly

Boost Mobile only working with stock ROM?

Hey, I'm using Boost Mobile and I've been trying to update to a custom ROM, but every time I do so it's just detected as a Sprint SIM card, which forces me to have 3G. If I reflash a stock ROM, support comes right back. I've already tried backing up my EFS and persist with the stock ROM, then restoring it after installing a custom ROM, and nothing changes. My IMEI is still intact, so why would a custom ROM not let me use Boost? Does it have something to do with APNs?
I remember using a Virgin Mobile phone with custom ROMs back in the day. If I remember correctly, you had flash a separate file after the ROM to get LTE support. I can't remember exactly what it fixed, but I do know it did the same thing you're experiencing if you didn't. Sorry I can't be more help.
