Freakin "Preparing Network Notification" on TW ROM - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Need help with annoying on going problem with"Preparing Network Notification" in status bar on any TW Rom I flash for, It's been gping on for about a month now (MF9 or MJA) Always clean install/flash.
symptoms are:
NO Data on CDMA/LTE mode. Data will turn on in CDMA mode only.
Cannot "Update Profile" from Settings in any network mode, when I try to update profile I get a pop up that reads"session already in progress, please try again later"
Things I have tried to fix problem with no solution are:
wipe cahe/dalvik cahe after Rom boots up.
Fix permissions in recovery.
I used Odin to reset to stock MF9 -[ROM][ODIN]SPH-L720 MF9 (MF9 Modem/Kernel/Bootloader/ROM-Rooted) from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2486134
Called Sprint they did Dialer Code ##72786# to reset, it rebooted the phone, then it should have performed hands free activation***Hands free activation never came up.
So I'm stuck with 3G only, anytime I flash a new TW ROM.
The Funny thing is, If I restore my TW ROM Back-Up from Recovery or Flash PacMan(AOSP) everything works fine.
I appreciate the help.

I had the same problem last week. Ended up getting a replacement phone under warranty as Sprint said it's a phone problem. My MSID kept changing on its own.

MyTouch4G + MIUI = no more mobile data connection?...

I've searched the internets and can't seem to find any help with this problem...
This is the second time I've perm-rooted my HTC Glacier (had no problems the first time), and I decided to flash a custom rom to it for the first time...
MIUI, to be exact...love it, it works great...except for the part where it completely shuts off my data if I reboot it a second time or it turns off after I ...
When the phone starts back up again, MIUI will claim to have "updated" itself, and all that jazz...but when I look up in the title bar, there's no data signal whatsoever, as if the device allowing you to accept mobile data is completely shut off...it's just gone...I still have a phone signal tho, with some bars...the only way to fix this is for me to wipe the user data using the Custom Recovery thing, flash the Froyo factory reset, then re-install the custom rom...which is a pain in the anus...
I rolled back to Froyo before rooting, then perm-rooted and flashed the custom rom following the guides provided on unlockr.com, if that helps...I'm not even sure if it's a problem that's specific to the rom I have, but can anyone help me out with this?...
Re-download the ROM and verify the md5 if it's available. Reboot into recovery and format system (mounts and storage menu in clockworkmod). Then wipe data/factory reset. Then flash the ROM. If that doesn't work let us know.
Check your APN settings.

[Q] Is it possible to go 100% stock with update

Here is my problem. I would like 100% stock with update.When I first got the phone I rooted with motochopper and installed SPH-L720 OUDHS Recovery. I tried ForceRom 1.0, but went back to my original Nand. Everything worked fine. I used odin to go stock and factory reset data and cache, im good to this point. When I install the sprint update I get the error "Prevention information: This device has detected an application attemping" blah blah blah. Also when i try turning on WiFi the error message pops back up. I checked and the phone is not rooted. I have tried every back to stock thread in these forums. One thing I found in settings: about phone: Status: device status: This still say's custom, even after all the attempts to go stock. Thanks for you help in advance.
How to unroot Galaxy S4, restore to stock and reset the flash counter
Or you can go to the Developer's section and find some threads about restoring. The security thing sounds like you still have Shabby's custom kernel installed. (I could be wrong.)
But the official stock MDC rom from Samsung includes the official kernel. I've restored a couple of times with the official ROM, and I was always back to the original stuff, including kernel. To completely restore, you can always also do a factory reset from the stock recovery (after you flash back the original rom). It will wipe all your data and settings, of course, so be warned.
Edit: A Local Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40947712&postcount=6
Also, I forgot to mention, but after this, you'll either just have to wait for Sprint to push the MDL update to you (since you say you want to be updated), or go find the thread (in dev section) from crawrj (I think him) about how to install it manually; but I think that will require a custom recovery, and you are trying to avoid customizations, so...
I have done exactly what the video posted said, even wiped data factory reset. The problem is after i install the OTA update I get the error message and my WiFi does not work. When I try and turn on WiFi it keeps popping up the error. Unrooted I should not get the error and WiFi should definitely work either way.
(At this point, then, this is somewhat like the blind leading the blind, so hopefully a more seasoned ROM manipulator will respond soon to help fix ya up, but until then...)
Maybe you can try crawrj's "Wipe All" script first before flashing the stock ROM? *shrug* (Link: [SCRIPT]Wipe All Zip)
I mean, if you wipe everything and then flash the stock ROM, I would be puzzled as to why something you installed before the wipe would still be lingering around to mess up your system. Again, though, I make no claims this will fix you up--it probably won't. Just throwing out ideas until someone more knowledgeable comes along to help you.

I had same problem when following the steps to return to stock after flashing custom kernel, Wifi wasn't working and was getting nagging Update and Information notifications. However I did notice after flashing Stock rom via Odin when checking 'about phone' that the Broadband Version was still MDL while Software Version did revert back to MDC. I was also under the impression that flashing the stock rom would restore stock everything, including Broadband Version back to MDC. However wasn't a big deal, I went ahead accepted the OTA update, which downloaded and went through the install process. Afterwards I went ahead and flashed ForceRom 1.0 and the 1.1 update, followed by flashing shabby's custom kernel to get Wifi working. I'm now completely happy with my setup, no nagging notifications and showing Software and Broadband Versions running MDL with shabby's custom kernel. Been running smooth for a couple of days now without any issues..
Figured it out! Had to reset the Flash counter with triangle away in order for the Device status to become official. Then i did data factory reset then flashed the stock .tar with odin. I installed the update on the phone and Viola! device official and everything is stock and working. Thanks for the help.
Good info, there, about Triangle Away. Glad you sorted it out!

[Q] Voice and Data stopped working - Sprint

Not sure on this way. Running Stable 4.2.2 Google Edition and had 0 problems until a few hours ago. Went out after dinner, tried to google a phone #, but had no data. Rebooted (just for kicks), and still nothing and no voice. Trying to make a call I get "Mobile network not available". I tested using my daughters G3 and worked perfect so I know it's not that.
So, I would like to try 1 of 2 options, open to either.
1. Revert to the stock 4.2.2 and wait till the 4.3 comes around
2. Upgrade to test a newer ROM. I am reading up on the MF9 but a little unsure, if I am running an MD9, can I simply flash a newer MF9 ROM onto what I have?
I don't want to brick this phone, so what's the best way to move forward and hopefully fix this issue.
Thanks

Thanks. Looking here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303917 there are plenty, but as I said, I am still on the MDL ROM, so I would assume pick an MDL touchwiz, no?
Actually I have a blu-Kuban (touchwiz) nandroid, I restored to that backup, and had the same issue. No voice, and the PRL, etc. all failed to update. I am downloading the stock deoxed MDL, and will try a wipe/clean install of him.
Tnx again

I'm actually running Blu Kuban as well and I do not have this issue. Try turning the cell data toggle off and back on. Also, make sure you aren't in airplane mode. I have noticed that sometimes the toggle is on while the airplane symbol will not show in the status bar.

Thanks, but since I did try a restore, that would ensure airplane mode was not the case as I don't use it nor would I have 2 ROM's both doing the same thing. I did do a wipe/restore with no luck, so now going to do a wipe/flash. If still nothing, will have to resort to going to stock and taking it to a local sprint shop!
Thanks

if restore fails.. try ##786# > reset on stock rom. you need your SPC/MSL for this.
if the 786 reset fails.. let me know in about device > status if your phone number is still listed.. and what PRL is shown.

BAM. Worked like a charm. Naturally have all my spring bloatware and such, but I can at least make a call! Not sure how/why that happened, but it did re-activate fine, so looks like were back in business!
Thanks for all the read/replies!

[Q] help wif stuck "turning on"

please help cant get a new phon for another year and this one I almost want to throw in the garbage. Every couple of weeks i get the error saying cant establish a reliable connection for the google play store. Normally I can clear the cache and what not and clear the acount relog in and its fixed. This time nothing I could do that people suggested would help and the last option I had was to restore the phoone. So i restored the phone on the stock firmware for 4.2.2. Got the phone booted up and now my wifi is "turning on" and is stuck there. I've tried a few suggestions of reflashing stock firmware again, clearing ram, rooting the phone. and so far nothing. Please help im getting extremely frustrated and dont no what to do.

If you have flashed the nb1 tar file and you still have problems I'm afraid it's a hardware problem.

[HELP] I keep Loosing all Data on VS980 out of NO WHERE [please read]

I have a LG G2 Verizon Factory Unlocked VS980.... For service I have Straight Talk on a Verizon CDMA BYOD sim. It worked great stock. I never had a problem at all. 4G LTE all night and day, as soon as i put the sim in for the first time and turned it on the first time. Well i then used iroot, and AutoRec to flash TWRP. Stock it was on 24a 4.2.2. I like KitKat more then LP alot so I didnt really want to go to LP. I first Flashed a VS980 boot variant mod CM11 and it worked great. It kept my Data straight through the Flash. It held data for weeks no problem. Well at home I use WIFI and dont every try Data so one day I have no idea Data quit working until i went out, All mobile Data just quit working and i cant even use GPS, only calls and Text, no MMS either. I came home, searched up some APNs and edited it and it came back instantly. I thought that was pretty easy. Then I wanted to test the xdabbeb 2.3.0 because i liked the stock LG KK more then a CM Rom. Data again held through the Flash and for about the same time, 2 weeks, then suddenly one day i go out, goto pull up my broswer for internet and NO DATA. So I went home and couldnt edit a APN on this ROM, Every time i set it to the APN i found i hit SAVE and it just vanished, about 30 times i typed it in over and over. So I factory reset, didnt work, Flashed to 39A and tried LP Roms, Didnt work, Changed APNs on LP roms, Didnt work. Wiped it clean, flashed BACK to Stock 26a via KDZ, Didnt work. Changed APNs on stock, and wouldnt save again like before, It would save until i changed a certian field in the APN. So i went back to CM11 and set the APN, different APNs, Variations, still wouldnt work, So I went back to 28a Baseband, and flashed Xdabbebs KK rom again and again didnt work, but I loaded a Nandroid backup of that rom from the very first time i flashed it when it did work, and that brought my data back! So i sailed smooth on it for about about a week and BOOM, gone again!! I goto the Mobile Network settings and it shows 4G and 1X almost full signals, and LTE on the status bar still, when last time it didnt show LTE or the 4G's.
So, Im going to load this Nandroid again i suppose and see how it works, But what could be the problem? What is Changing settings wise or whatever and how? I am confused as hell on this! Can someone please help me out? I hate resetting my phone all the time, and dont want to make sure i have an OTG and my flash drive with me at all times and all my .apk's on my incase i need a weekly emergency Nandroid restore.
