OK, a long time ago, I did a manual update on my EPIC 4g (sprint). I am thinking that is why I am unable to download the update through the setting tab a week after the update came out. I know everyone has it now. I have no idea what update I did on my phone last year... but I havnt been able to get firmware updates from sprint since them. I'd kinda like to have this one.
Does anyone know of a link that has this update, I can load to my SD card and execute on the phone? I just want to be able to reboot to the new ROM, I dont want to have to hook up to a PC and load it that way. I need a rookie, easy way to do this.
Thanks!!!
You most likely have either rooted or removed at least 1 pre-installed application. That would cause the EL30 update not to install. You can find the .zip file in both the General and Development forums.
If you have rooted or removed any pre-installed apps, then the stock .zip file won't install for you. You would need to make sure you're on a custom kernel for your current build (most likely EC05 or EI22), get CWM 5 installed and then install one of the near stock roms in the Dev forum.
Yea, it was so long ago, I dont know if it is rooted or not? I have been away from this stuff for quite a while and have completely lost touch. CW5? is that an app that I can install directly from the SD card? Also, does the dev forum have ROM's that I can install from SD as well? - sorry for all the questions!

Yes... you would know it if you clicked on it. Just don't start a new thread there. Read, and it'll all make sense.

Go to your Settings > About Phone to see what your baseband, kernel and OS build are.
Yes the dev forum has kernels and roms available for you to flash. Google search "QBKing77 youtube channel" to get how-to videos for doing everything.
Baseband = your modem version. This is completely independent of your kernel and OS and can be a different version from those two.
Kernel & OS build = these must match in build #. Example would be EC05, EI22 and EL30. Some custom kernel's do not include the build # on the About Phone screen, but stock would.
CWM = ClockworkMod Recovery. This is a custom recovery tool that allows you to flash custom roms, kernels, mods and themes.
Easiest way to see if you're rooted is to look for the application Superuser in your application list. If it's there, then you're most likely rooted.
is there a way to unroot this handset and allow the sprint update to come thru? If not, what is the name of a good (stock) gingerbread ROM? There are a ton of them over on the dev side and honestly I dont want to mess with he clockwork stuff. Im kinda pinched for time.
I did find the CWM5 zip - i assume i can run that directly from the SD card, then apply the new ROM.
no superuser... know that I think back, I dont think I did root it. But I dont know why else the carrier update wont work?
ok, I just looked @ the current version(s).
BASEBAND: d700.0.55.DK28
KERNAL:2.6.32.9
BUILD: FROYO.DK28
so, what is going to be the easiest way to get this to EL30?
I am almost done bothering you guys - I promise!
Odining the el30 stock package and flashing an ec05 modem and then flashing the ec05 to el30 delta
Ill offer to do it for you in a little over 15 minutes if you'd like via teamviewer

The modem is if I want to tether - correct? If I dont want to tether, then I dont have to flash the modem portion ?
No the modem is what allows for reciveing signal
Usually the most updated modem allows for better signal

Thoughts?
I've been noticing that there doesn't seem to be much activity around the Sprint Version of the HTC One. Correct me if i'm wrong. I did manage to get the recovery changed and the device rooted.
Recovery didn't go too smoothly because i didn't realize there was a different TWrp for sprint and i assume the same goes for clockwork. I tried using both and wouldn't work until i found a very brief mention of a sprint TWRP file that ended in wls.
I really wanted to try the Revolution HD ROM but quickly noticed that it seemed like most all version of the htc one are supported except the sprint version. There is a v9.4 but i have yet to find it.
Question: Is the sprint version that different from the others? That difficult to work with? or is the interest just too low?
I was thinking i'd try to have this thread (easily searchable for sprint users) with some quick info on how to deal with those devices. Though i will admit i'm not that skilled in software mods. Just a member of the community that appreciates all the work you guys put in on all these devices and supporting the freedom we enjoy to use our devices as WE please.
If anyone want to join in and commenting about Sprint specific devices and issues.. feel free.
Sorry the sprint version tends to lag behind others because of the cmda chip. Since all international leaks are probably going to be from gsm models, they are only going to be usable on gsm versions of the phone. Until someone leaks a cdma version of 4.2.2 there's not much we can do.

Recovery Experience
Step 1 - Unlocking Boot Loader
I used the Revolution HD thread as a start point. It is very detailed and easy to follow. It directed me to this flashing Guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618... The bootloader process is easy and pain free.
Step 2 - Flashing to a more advanced recovery
The guide doesn't suggest which to use. I went to the Device essentials (sticky thread of the forum). The choices seem to be TWRP and Clockwork ... (if there are more feel free to suggest). Unfortunately this didn't go as planned because I was unaware that the recoveries for a sprint device were different ... So for you ... if you are using TWRP you must use the recovery specifically for Sprint devices .. currently the file name is "openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7wls.img". I will try to find a link or anyone can volunteer it.
1. The first thing it allows you to do is save your current recovery. I was unable to do this because i had the wrong recovery and by the time realized it i had tried to flashboot flash. However, you can flashboot boot .. which basically allow you to load the recovery and save your current recovery. then you can flash and replace your recovery with the new one.
That is it.. that is kind of where i am at for now. I haven't flashed a ROM .. and i will say i am having some difficulty with both "superuser" it keeps asking to update but then fails and Wifi Tether .... so i'll return with answers to that when i find them.
Hope this helps someone

SuperSU worked and then i tried Wifi Tether and it started to work as well .. FYI "settings for Wifi Tether" that i use

Now I just need the awesomest best ROM .. any suggestions!?

@houstonn was originally developing but stopped in June due to computer failures which is being resolved soon. His last build of 6/29 was on 4.4 sources and required the modem of stock 4.4.
The current builds supplied by @ayysir and now @jakew02 are on 4.2 sources which would require that specific modem.
Which ones exactly not sure as I am not familiar with every carrier version only sprint.

It has been stated in the ROM thread multiple times that you must use a 4.2 STOCK JB MODEM for best compatibility. Any other modems you guys use is solely at YOUR OWN DISCRETION. @MeestaAytch they should know what to use at this point but thanks for clarifying again for those who don't want to search before posting :highfive:
@jakew02 no problem. I know it's tiring repeating the same information but from what I've seen in my time using XDA.... It'll never change.

A few bugs
Hi,
The thread is too big for me to go thru it post by post so I'll just make a few questions and hopefully I'll get some answers. I flashed this ROM and it was working flawlessly. I only found very few bugs like not being able to set up multiple recurrent alarms because the app would freeze and there was another bug but I can't remember. The problem I find frustrating is with the text messages or SMSs. At first I was not receiving SMSs. Then I was receiving them but I couldn't send any. I returned back to stock VS98024a and I'm still having the same problem but at least I'm getting a pop-up when "General problems: cause code 96". I have googled this several times in several ways and can't seem to find a solution, not even on the Verizon site or help app on the phone. I need help with this please.

Please state exact filename and order of wipe/flash.
Just tried the test build for D802. Booted at LG logo for a while then screen turned black with 2 red lines and one green vertical line. I was so sure I was gonna get the permanent black lines but then again I read that the damaged screens are caused by already faulty hardware under high heat.
Anyways, I panicked and then I restarted the phone by pressing power + down. Then I got the weird boot sequence like everyone above describes and it boots into the OS. Thank God I got no black lines! However it wasn't stable for me as the phone rebooted itself twice within the span of 20 minutes. I'm going back to 13/10 build for now.
Any d802 users flashing latest twitter released rom can you please report here if jdi or lgd and whether or not weird logo appeared?
I'm on jdi and had weird logo appeared after clean flash. I did not let the rom boot and reflashed previous version without further problems
FYI, houston's latest works great so far on the VS980. Clean flash, using RenderKernel R24.
So i have the vs980 and i currently have xdabbebs rom on my phone, but i want to try PA. Can someone explain how to flash a rom over another rom, or is there something else i should do. i tried it once by flashing with twrp and it just hung on the lg sreen. luckily i had a back up

Migrating from one ROM to another is for me like this:
1. Nandroid backup
2. Wipe all except sdcard (yes, wipe system)
3. Flash new ROM
Be sure to always have a Nandroid backup!
And always check what baseband (aka radios or modem) your new ROM is requiring.
-___-
If you are UPDATING your current ROM, I.e. flashing a new build of let's say paranoid android, you can flash the updated file right on top of your old system. That is called DIRTY FLASHING and it's actually risky, so please, always do Nandroid backups!

Peace
Thank you for the reply. I tried doing it the way you suggested again and i get the same results. I wipe everything that is necessary and when i try to install the zip it immediately says failed

I would;
Update my custom recovery to the latest
Download recommended baseband, to be on the safe side
Redownload the ROM
Check the md5-checksum

Flash the recommended baseband, better safe than sorry
Never give up
Peace

You have to enable root access first. It's not enabled out of the box.
Navigate to "about phone" in settings and tap the build number a bunch of times util it says that you have enabled "developer options" then back out of "about phone" and goto "developer options", scroll down to "root access" and enable.

Not sure if you found a solution yet--but try deleting all the APNs except for ATT phone and ATT lte. Then reboot. Select LTE (recommended) if not defaulted to already. And you should have improved signal after that.

SGH-i337m and Cyanogenmod 12.1
Hi. I recently flashed my Samsung S4 to Cyanogenmod 12.1 using 12.1-20150426-NIGHTLY-jfltexx. Although it is working fine overall, I am having trouble maintaining Bluetooth connectivity. After reboot, the connectivity is ok for about an hour and then drops. And when it drops, it doesn't turn back on again.
Is there any way to fix this problem?
Also, is there a newer update that is compatible with SGH-i337m? I have received the latest updates of nightlies on my phone, but when I go to install them, the installation aborts.
Lose SD Card functionality with 5.1
I flashed the 12.1 05062015 nightly and have been experiencing intermittent access problems with my SD Card (external 64MB). Checking Storage, the SD Card sometimes disappears but the menu still shows an Unmount SD Card option, suggesting that the OS knows the card is in place. And sometimes unmounting followed by mounting brings the SD Card back to life. Other times, however, unmounting does nothing and a restart is required to enable functionality.
I also tried to move some apps from the phone to the sd card in Apps and while these moves appeared successful (i.e., the button for "move to phone" was highlighted and the move to sd card not highlighted), Root Explorer now cannot locate them and the moved apps no longer appear in the Apps listing.
The SD Card worked perfectly with KitKat so I don't believe the sd card is the issue. A Google search shows numerous concerns involving Lollipop and sd cards but none of the solutions have worked.
Wondered if anyone else with an AT&T Galaxy S4 has had this problem and if there is a solution you can point me to.
Thanks.

First off I just want to thank you for your hard and excellent work. I have been using MOAR for quite some time and it has been great. I am switching to the BS free ROM - it's almost exactly what I want. I was curious if you could add back the Samsung Email App with Exchange Support and also the S6 Keyboard. I have to run the standard email app for work, and could not find a seperate source to successfully install on BOG5. I was able to get the S6 Keyboard sepererately and installed, but who wants the ugly S5 KB preinstalled anyway?
Thanks!

Hey how you guys doing? Thanks for all your hard work jkruse.
I'm having issues. I flashed back to stock NCG, I've rooted, installed busybox, installed safestrap, installed flashfire v0.21, when I go to install the no BS 0G5 deodexed rom using flashfire. I do the following steps I select the firmware first then the rom finally the kernel. Once it flashes and finishes it just freezes at black galaxy s5 boot screen it stays there and doesn't do anything. I've checked all md5 checksums verified them again just to be sure they checked out correctly. I'm no noob I've been flashing roms and rooting since I had my Droid X back in the day. If you could point me in the right direction, your help would be greatly appreciated and thank your time.
Are you flashing the firmware as a zip or firmware package? The firmware flashable file includes the kernel, and it needs to be flashed as a zip, not a firmware package.

Do you tap "Flash firmware package" or "Flash ZIP or OTA" when you select the firmware?
I select firmware for the firmware part

flashing back to stock yet again, this time i did the ota flash zip on each i selected rom first, firmware, kernel, lastly theme. it flashed everything but refuses to get past the black galaxy s5 logo it did something new this time it hangs and boots to recovery.
Your phone keeps bootlooping every time because you keep flashing it incorrectly. DO NOT flash it as a firmware package. DO flash it as a ZIP or OTA.
I will make it much more simple. Boot into safe strap, then tap install. Install BOG5 firmware, then install the BS free ROM. When the install is complete, tap wipe Dalvik/cache, then tap reboot. Then wait 7 minutes for your phone to boot into awesomeness.

Alright I'll do that now, thanks for your time. I really appreciate the help.
I've never had issues flashing the way I have been until earlier today.
Forgive me, I misread your last post. I see that you flashed as OTA last time. I haven't had any issues flashing with FlashFire, but I have heard of some people running into problems. Try using safestrap and following the steps I just posted. Also, you do not need to flash the kernel, because it is included with the firmware.

Alright I'm doing so now, I'll report back, thanks again!
I may know why you are running into issues now that you hadn't before. On previous builds, JK would use an actual firmware package and separate kernel. The BOE1 firmware contained a bootloader update that prevented downgrading, so it needed to be modified, and was no longer an official firmware package. Since then, he has made the firmwares flashable as a zip. You are probably familiar with the older method of upgrading the firmware, which is why you've never had an issue before.

Just reflashed and started fresh, now it's working and also the themes are aswell. No more issue's.
Looks like I've ran into another problem, wifi tether keeps getting force closes when trying to use foxfi tether app. Maybe i have to copy some files from a stock 0g5 ROM? Using the google deodexed version.

First off I just want to thank you for your hard and excellent work. I have been using MOAR for quite some time and it has been great. I am switching to the BS free ROM - it's almost exactly what I want. I was curious if you could add back the Samsung Email App with Exchange Support and also the S6 Keyboard. I have to run the standard email app for work, and could not find a seperate source to successfully install on BOG5. I was able to get the S6 Keyboard sepererately and installed, but who wants the ugly S5 KB preinstalled anyway?
Thanks!

How and what exactly did you do to get the S6 keyboard installed and working? I've tried and haven't had any luck. Also, it is the one with the emoji to the left of the spacebar right? Thank you in advance
