My personal favorite froyo rom,

Instructions and recovery are in the post, if you need any help post back or pm I'll check my phone when I'm at work in a bit. Also as a side note, have you gotten MMS to work? I got data up and running but MMS atm I can only receive and not send.

No I tried many different roms. Apn do stick because I can make it so I can't receive anything as far as mms.

Yeah, I too used go sms but I would really like to get it working natively .
The EB01 is the only baseband that allows the settings to stick, I flash phones all day. I just haven't tried going from flashed to Custom ROM also, only PAID CDMAWS works. I've tried everything and finally just paid $100 a month for the software. Btw, ty for the ROM's I haven't looked yet, I've done CWM, but never voodoo. If you want my settings I'll gladly post them. Everything on my phone works, talk, text, data web, mms, and metro apps from the handmark site.

Both of the pages suggested come up as error 404 page not found.
Also even if your phone is fully flashed on the fassy, you must use either stock sms, or, a sms app that allows you to fill the mms settings.
I'll post the settings tomorrow, I'm very tired, long day at work.

IDK about kernel manager specifically but it shouldn't affect the flash I flashed the PBJ -50 and -100 kernels all the time when I was on EF, I believe EF 3.6 comes stock with the PBJ -50 kernel from imnuts.

Why would [email protected] work? On my APN I have set as [email protected] but aside from that and password, the mcc mnc and mmsc are the same.
So if I flash a kernel it shouldn't, theoretically, mess with my Metro PCS radio flash?

Again I flashed kernels time and time again, never once did it mess with the actual flash. Just in the last week I have flashed the kernel about 9 times moving from roms. So no, but again I never user kenel manager always either Odin or CWM. I work grave so I'm about to go to bed but I'll check the thread when I wake up and thanks for the settings in advanced.
Wait, it says I'll go from cwm, to voodoo, I know nothing about voodoo. Will this ROM work on EB01?

Actually, if I go to this and get voodoo, how can I get back to cwm if necessary?

Okay folks, if somebody could bring my issue to the attention of anybody who knows what to do about it I would appreciate it.
My issue is twofold:
1)I'm still getting random reboots with RandomROM Thunderhawk 3.3 despite the posting on the thread that says (NO MORE REBOOTS) Is there anything that can be done about this?
2)I checked my baseband version and the modem is still EC05, is there a way to flash or ODIN an EI22 modem for this ROM without getting a black screen when the icons should come up? Could this also be what's causing the reboots?
Thanks for anybody's help that is willing to give it.
Are you using a custom theme? And you have to flash the stickied modem delta. If you are using a theme, I would blame that.
Sent from my ICS NookColor using Tapatalk
I was using thunderhawk too and I had some reboots but onlyyyyy on the lockmod version. When I flashed the regular one I had no problems at all
And for basband I would probably try this
Nandroid backup
Flash "ec05 to ei22" its somewhere in the development section I believe
Reboot
If that doesn't work then a fresh new start is what I would Recommend
Odin back to stock
Root
Install cwm
Flash "eco5 to ei22" modem
Flash thunderhawk 3.3 (without lockmod if you could live without it)
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I got the EI22 modem here and flashed it in CWM and it worked well. Only problem I had with thunderhawk is the lockscreen mod, and I'm having data issues on wifi after the phone's been on a while.
I was ec05 but when I flashed the Thunderhawk and it changed to ei22. never had a problem. Got a wild hair up my butt to flash the shadow kernal 1.0.6. Never been happier. no reboots, wifi works perfect, and very responsive. running a live wall paper and still get awesome battery life. give it a try
I saw several posts from folks having some wifi-4g interaction problems...switching back and forth causing one or the other to fail...is that a common problem to all 3.3 users, or are most people not seeing it? I want to give this a try, but I use 4g (at work) and wifi (home) everyday, so I'd like to see how common that issue is. I'm currently on Mostly-stock with Nubernel's latest released kernel...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
So...bummer. I guess I answered my own question...I installed Thunderhead 3.4.3 and sure enough... I have wifi and 4g problems. Seems like going back and forth between the two causes issues...had it fail going both ways today. On a positive...man, that ROM seems pretty nice and his new install process rocks...was seamless going from Mostly Stock...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
You could always try a clean install with doing a factory data reset in CWM and wiping Dalvik, flash ROM, check to see if stuff works, then do an advanced data restore from your last nandroid. If you stll have problems then the best bet is to set everything up fresh after the clean install.

The deal with the wifi/4g issue is that 4g will show 0.0.0.0 for ip, baseband, and dns if used after wifi in most cases. This is on official releases of 3.3 and newer. If you turn off wifi, reboot, then turn on 4g it should work. This is oviously annoying. Random provided me with alpha builds of 3.4 and 4.0, and the issue was squashed for me. However, the issue still persists in 3.4.3 official release according to some reports. I have limited access to 4g and can only test on certain days.
Thunderhawk is in a transitional period right now, and 3.4.5 should be released today. Random is hopeful this might solve some issues, including the dialer issues some are reporting with the 3.4 official builds. After that his focus will be on 4.0, which is EL30 based. Consider anything from 3.4 on a beta, and only run it if you want to help find bugs. Obviously you don't mind reporting or I wouldn't be replying lol. Just follow the threads and wait untill it looks stable enough for your usage needs.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Thanks! I certainly wasn't busting on Random's work...and I know he has limited access to 4g for testing, so that makes it harder for him to verify these things. So
I absolutely saw what you describe going from wifi to 4g. Going from
4g to wifi, I had wifi that wouldn't turn on at all (error when trying to enable), and, like you and others have mentioned, a reboot resolved both cases. I will hang out and see if he pushes out a fix soon, and just eagerly await 4.0. If it gets too annoying, I'll restore to my
Mostly Stock... Hmmm... Is there an issue restoring an rfs backup if I am now on ext4? Heh...

Just installed the latest 3.4 revision...I think...Heh. The update was so fast its hard to tell!

And...confirming...the wifi/4g issue persists. 4g ip address is messed up on the first connect after being on wifi...reboot resolves.

I have no idea why this seems only to be happening to my phone... I get zero 4g despite my phone showing 4g. I have updated profile and prl in tw... I have tried twrp and cwm. I just can't get 4g on a aosp ROM. Any help would be appreciated. Both screen shots show speed tests in the same place while I was at work.
It's been known that aosp in Many cases causes this. My last phone epic 4g touch was the same way. Flash stock rom and data speeds back to normal

I have had issues with aosp when I would dirty flash. I'm currently running Carbon and 4g is running great. Just try a clean install. Could also consider that we are mostly on nightlys and unofficial releases. No telling as of yet but I'm getting pretty good speeds on Carbon

I always do a full wipe before I flash a aosp ROM.. I seem to be the only one on the forums having this issue. the only thing I can think of is a bad modem. Haven't found a flashable modem so I may unroot odin stock and reroot and see what that gets me. I only run aosp roms on all my phones...this is killing me

From what I understand we can't flash modems yet. Are you on MDL or MDC? I have had issues with the modem on TW after unrooting on MDL, but they were fixed when I reinstalled the update from Sprint.
Not really sure how the radios interact with AOSP, but could have something to do with the differences between the update.
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.

Not sure what happened but the error is back
I flashed a rom before then I switched back to the other rom (which I am sure 4G works fine with this rom). After I did these swapping, 4G data network is no longer working (Only 3G, even I set preferred network to LTE/CDMA). Anyone has this problem before? Is it something wrong with my APN setting? Most of all, I want to fix it!!! Thank you
Solved: I updated prl and profile in a stock ROM, everything works perfectly now.

I was on a ported ROM with only 3g. I did not do a backup before I flashed that ROM, so the APN app method would not work for my case. I am trying to go back to completely stock to see if I can solve the problem.
Go back to stock and do a Profile update and a PRL update.
