I had been going through flashing withdrawl due to the lack of roms for the XT925 and decided to play around and see what worked. Installing XT926 roms is no problem with safestrap but there were always thing not quite working; only 3G speed and no wifi being the main ones. I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2107662
but replacing the two files wasn't enough so I played some more and had success!
Getting LTE: Enter *#*#4636#*#* on the dialer and select "Phone Information" scroll down and make sure "LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA" is selected under "Set preferred network type:". DO not change anything else here unless you know what you are doing! DO not change anything else here unless you know what you are doing!
Make sure "Global" is selected under "Network Mode" in your Mobile Network Settings. Now enter your APN manually. BOOM you has LTE. I had to keep resetting from GSM/UTMS to "Global" after a reboot, this is fixed by the build.prop changes and factory reset.
Add or change the following lines:
ro.mot.ds.fastdormancy.disable=true
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0
telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1
ro.telephony.default_network=9
ro.ril.def.preferred.network=9
ro.mot.eri=0
ro.cdma.home.operator.isnan=0
then I removed every line that had "cdma" in it (except the one above)
Now the default_network setting will not be changed unless you factory reset after and if the rom does not have your apns "on file" you will have to fiddle to get data to work on a reboot. This is fixed by replacing the apns-conf.xml file found in /system/etc/ with one that has your carrier setting or editing the existing one.
Note: I tried doing an advanced data restore through Safestrap/TWRP and the connection on boot issue came back. Restoring with Titatnium worked fine
Getting wifi: you need a root browser for this. Back up your original ones by adding ".bak" to the end of the name. Download the zip attached (no it is not flashable, I don't have that expertise) and extract it to your phone somewhere. Copy the Set1 (cfg80211.ko & wlan.ko) files to /system/lib/modules then copy the Set2 (cfg80211.ko & prima_wlan.ko) files to /system/lib/modules/prima
Fix permissions and reboot. (I don't actually know if all four files are needed, just that it works when they are all there!)
"Wifi still isn't working!?" Compare the permissions of the new files to the old ones (you backed them up right?).
Getting rid of "This SIM card is from an unknown source:" delete VzwPhoneService.apk from system/app
Tested with "Foot Through The Floor", "wWidow" and "fusionHD" with safestrap.

Observations:
Everything works flawlessly now!
I am not responsible for you borking this process and by extension your device, always have backups to save yer arse if you do. I have messed things up many times with many devices with no sweat because I consistently backup.

Re: How I got XT926 roms working on my XT925
So far the only issue I have had is that the data will not reconnect after WiFi is turned off. A reboot does fix it and sometimes I will have to toggle gsm/utms back to global after the reboot. Not a big deal for me as I only use WiFi at home but it could be aggravating. I'm going to see if there is anything I can change in the build prop and/or more lib files to copy.
I've really been researching all over to bring it all together... So a work in progress, but definitely usable as a daily driver!

I was able to fix the data disconnects through some build.prop changes and added it to the first post. I'm still going to look and see what else can be tweaked but I'm very happy at the progress!
Added a bunch more tweaks to make the data connection persist reboot and make everything run as it should.
i can also confirm wifi worked perfectly after following the instructions on the main page i didnt have to chang apn's the ATT ones were already there then again when i flashed this rom i never wiped system just factory,cache,dalvik
So say i didn't back up the files.. Anyone know the permissions? lol

It won't let me Chang permissions? And there's not another folder inside of modules?

You need to mount the folder as R/W to change the permissions.
What rom are you trying to use?
How do I do that with root browser? Change permissions? Because that doesn't work.

In my experience, Root browser lite has been pretty useless for me as a root browser...try ES or Root explorer.
How do I change permissions with that? and I'm still missing the prima folder.

Long-press a file then click "Properties", then click "Change" next to permissions.
What rom are you trying to use? I've been told that the CM10 for XT926 has a different file structure than the other roms that I've had success with. If you are trying to get CM10 on your Atrix HD you are better off using the one for the XT925:

You need to change the permissions for the file after moving it. The "change" won't happen for you because you are trying to change it in your sdcard storage.
OK got the permissions changed then moved the files and rebooted and still nothing. But there was no prima folder inside of modules to put anything in.
Sent from my Atrix HD using xda app-developers app
If it's CM10 then yes the file structure is different. CM10 for the XT925 should have working WiFi for the Atrix HD without changing anything.
So I can't get WiFi Woking? I have 2 cm10 versions one only lte works and one only WiFi works.
Sent from my Atrix HD using xda app-developers app
I haven't played around with the CM roms to know how everything goes together.
I'm guessing you got lte working on the XT926 version but no WiFi and no lte on the XT925 version? On epinter's CM10.1 there is a bug that the signal won't show but the lte DOES work:

Hi, I installed mortify rom, everything works well, except that I'm unable to get any voicemails. Currently I'm on FB15. when I clicked the VVM, it says: " account verification error communication with the voicemail to text server has timed out. We will continue to verify your voicemail to text account status in the background. voicemail service will not be interrupted while we verify the account status."
I tried to send a composed message to [email protected] , unable to send.
if I click settings-> check for update, i get "general failure. please try again at a later time."
any ideas? thanks in advance!
Either clear data in the voicemail app, or restore it from a previous install.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
tried both, didn't work I even wiped cache, dalvik cache, and reflashed again.. same problem
Did you try it from a clean install? Factory wipe data, cache and Dalvik, reflash, sign into Google, and try VMM. If it works then you can start restoring things, but no data.
sigh, tried the factory wipe, dalvik, cache wipes... reflashed again, still not working
however, I managed to get google voice to work lol now, how do I uninstall the stock VVM?
Was gonna suggest Gvoice next..lol. Also visual voicemail plus in the Play store. Using root explorer or ES File Explorer delete vtt-sprint.apk from system\app directory.

Try the two files on this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19270912
And 3 or 4 post down from that one is another file. One is an app updater and the other is a sprint extension file. Push these through to system app. And see if that works. Kennyglass helped me with this way back then when vvm wouldn't connect and prl and profile wouldn't work.

Well anytime I use stock rom the wifi wont connect. And when I was unrooted it still wourent connect. Im using royal glacier n I like it but wifi cant connect, only when im close to the wifi router it does.but miui and sense roms connect perfectly and being far away. Ive use apps like wifi fix and stuff from market and still wont work. And I googled build prop wifi fix and dirent find answer. Ands its not the kernel cause ive used a stock rom with tdj kernel...so my question is how can I make it work? And my problem is only with stock roms. Any way with the build prop or an app or tweak? And it connects only when im next to router but disables when im more away. Thanks

Try these steps:
Restart the router by unplugging for 10 seconds and then powering it back on again. (I'm assuming it's not a router issue but sometimes this can simply be the cause)
This may be a bug in the ROM or an error during the installation, so I would re-download the ROM, verify the MD5 sum.
In CWM, backup the current ROM. Do a factory data reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache, go to mounts and storage and format /system. (this is to ensure there aren't any files lingering on the phone)
Flash the ROM, and after the flash wipe cache and dalvik cache (just in case.) Reboot.
If you're still experiencing WiFi issues it's most likely is a bug in the ROM and I would contact the developer of the ROM for a fix/workaround.
If you want to try, you can download the Kick Ass Kernelizer script by Zepplinrox found here:
Kick Ass Kernelizer RC7
After you have the script on your phone, install script manager from the market, err, play store
Navigate to the Kick Ass Kernelizer script and tap it. On the dialogue the pops up click 'run as root' and run the script.
Follow the on-screen instructions and choose if you want I/O tweaks.
After this, in order to make sure the script runs, there should be a log somewhere that would tell you
If it isn't running from your init.d folder you may have to navigate to your init.d folder at /system/etc/init.d
Find the script usually 98 something Kernelizer. Click it and select Run at boot as well as run as root. This should fix that issue if it's not running.
And if the kernel tweaks there don't help you, it's a bug. Contact the developer or switch to a different ROM
Wow thanks for all that help!

Hey guys I'm new! Nice to meet all of you.... here are some things you can do to make this great rom even more functional on the r800x.
1. WIPE YOUR SYSTEM ENTIRELY... Data, Cache, Dalvik.. the works. Install KA12 first, followed by doomlord's wifi modules (I used the most recent test release for the 2.34 verizon upgrade and they worked like a charm.)
2. Let the system boot up.. you will most likely get some kind of error, or it may take you to the setup screen... either way, at this point, return to CWM, and wipe your dalvik cache. Next Install the CDMA patch 9 (I used the non-modded version)
3. Install google apps, and any other KA12 zips you desire to flash. When you are finished flashing, clear both cache and dalvik.
4. Now install KA13 over KA12 system meaning DO NOT DO THE FACTORY RESET.
5. You may want to reflash the wifi modules, I do not know if it is necessary, but I did it to to be safe.
6. Reboot the system, and complete set up.
7. Using root explorer, go navigate to the system apps directory, and find a phile called SEMCtelephonyservice.apk (or something very much like that).. make sure root explorer is set mounted to R/W and then simply click on this app, and open it with the APK handler or simply click install. It will tell you this app is already installed, and you are replacing it. Say ok. Now go and try your dialer. You should only get one force close after making a call now, and it should go away forever after this... No more phone force close yay!!
8. While your in system apps folder, go ahead and delete the USBconnectivtyux.apk (or something like that) ... don't worry.. this has no effect on USB connectivity at all, it still works fine... and guess what.. NO MORE FORCE CLOSE WHEN YOU CONNECT USB!
9. With your wifi connected, go to the play store and download a free app called APN manager... install it. Once you have opened it simply import the APN settings for verizon onto your phone, and reboot your phone. Once rebooted,(you can turn off wifi now) open up your mobile network settings, and make sure you have mobile network data enabled... I allowed national roaming, I'm not sure if you have to.. then click the APN settings... you should see Verizon in there now. Make sure to click that circle to turn on those APN settings.. This will get your sms/mms up and running.
10. Finally, to get my 3G icon to show up I had to redownload the SETDNS app... I got the pro version... and when I enabled google DNS, I immediately got a 3g icon in my status bar. The second time I ran through this, I did not immediately get a 3g status icon.. If this is the case for you, just simply toggle airplane mode after setting the DNS, and your 3g should eventually kick in. If you do not get a 3g icon, my understanding is that your data works even though you can't see it, however you will have trouble downloading apps.
Thanks dude.

Help needed with the playstore it's a general android issue not with installing it on ouya had no problems with that
I have an SPH-L720 flashed to Virgin Mobile and cannot get data to work on any 4.4 ROM. Currently, I am on CM 10.2 and I must manually change the APN because they have the wrong MCC and MNC. I use APN Backup and Restore and manually update the apns-conf.xml with this:
<apn carrier="Virgin Mobile US" mcc="311" mnc="490" apn="0" port="" mmsproxy="205.239.233.136" mmsport="81" mmsc="http://mmsc.vmobl.com:8088/mms?" type="mms" />
I would really like to get data working if anyone knows what I need to do differently on kit kat?
Thanks
I guess there's nothing to do? I am unable to write APN settings on any KitKat ROM so far.

If you go to the play store and search for APN backup and restore, they have instructions in the app description that may help you. Good luck.

What Baseband are you on currently? I know that the mja modem update finally allows you to edit your apn. Who flashed the phone over? There aren't a ton of flashing experts on xda, my experience is that Howard forums is a better resource for finding flashing solutions.

If you have a voice dialer app you should be able to open apns through it and then write them!! I'm on a jflteusc and I use sprint Roms often on 4.4 and write the apns everytime this way!

Hi,
I have no data on SPH-L710 after flashing cm11 nightly and it works well when I flash back to any Android 4.3 firmware.
It seems like same problem as you guys encounter.
Also I have exotic carrier its ukrainian PeopleNet so I tried APN settings following the carriers guide:
Code:
<apn name="PEOPLEnet MMS" numeric="25521" mcc="255" mnc="21" apn="#777" user="25521*min*@wap.ua21" server="172.25.10.10" password="wap" proxy="172.25.10.10" port="8080" mmsproxy="172.25.10.10" mmsport="8080" mmsprotocol="null" mmsc="mmsc:80" type="mms" />
<apn name="PeopleNet" numeric="25521" mcc="255" mnc="21" apn="#777" user="*mdn*@people.net.ua" server="null" password="000000" proxy="null" port="null" mmsproxy="null" mmsport="null" mmsprotocol="null" mmsc="null" type="default,supl" />
I wonder how does this settings affect EVDO connection? I belive 4.3 uses PPP settings from NV items
Is it enough to set correct mcc\mnc as my banner says I'm still on "Sprint" ?
Is there a way do debug the problem, like PPP logs?

I wanted to add on to this. I have the same problem as the OP does. I had to do one additional thing to get these steps to work.
After rebooting, the app kept crashing when I tried to open it. I went back to the apk in /system/app-priv and installed the app again. After doing this, I was able to open the app and restore my APNs successfully.
