Never mind I found it here is my eri.xml file where do I change it at?

Eri.Xml is a good way when I had s3 but after i upgraded to s4 it doesn't work for me.

Right I have an S4 running 4.4.2 and there is no eri.xml in /data and when I copied one that I downloaded It didn't change anything.

Questions and Help issues belong in Q&A and Help sections...thanks!

I have the exact same issue. It says Samsung everywhere it should say sprint. I can't even complete the hands free activation. But data and voice is working. I no longer have sprint zone either. I checked the carrier name in a signal app and it said chameleon. How can I change this. Maybe then I can connect to sprint network so this error will stop bugging me. Thanks.
Another thought, has anyone ever deleted the build prop. and did a software load with Odin. Maybe that will rewrite the correct items back into the phone and sprint may reappear. I don't know. Just a thought. I tried load full NC6 from sammobile today but that didn't fix it.

S4 4.3 ROM - Australian LTE

Hi,
I tried posting this in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341162 but as its a developer thread I had no permission.
Post #2 has LTE as working, just wanted to ask if anyone in Australia can confirm that LTE is working?
i installed the ROM and so far have only got 3G but my iPhone 5 has LTE with the same network (Telstra) in the same place
BTW thanks to HazAnwar for that thread :good:
I haven't tried that ROM, but I did try a 4.3 ROM and from memory LTE worked ok. You might have to edit the /data/property/persist.radio.lteon file, set the content to "true"

Thanks for your reply omniwolf, my data folder is empty
EDIT: was able to access the /data/property folder but there is no persist.radio.lteon file
possibly it's in a different location on 4.3, do a search for LTE or LTEON on your device

Thanks for your help omniwolf but i couldn't find it anywhere, since the official 4.3 update has been rolling out hopefully there will be an updated ROM, so I might wait and see if thats the case

[Q] Sprint GS4 SPH-L720T Tri-band get MSL Code??

has anyone had any luck yet on acquiring MSL code on the new sprint galaxy s4 triband. I've tried adb shell getprop ril.MSL method and tried using cdma tools anyone know if a method that works?
You'll likely have to try this:
Hello Sprint, please give me my MSL.
As of now I believe that is the only thing that will work.
thanks,

Successes?
This Utility works fine on the SPH-L720T, I believed I used when I was rooted.

Apparently they have "criteria" now for giving out the MSL and the couple of reps I spoke with stated they won't... effin' sprint..anyway, hope he gets lucky and gets it.. if not...
there is a SPCutility.apk floating around that I used (s4- 720, not T though) that might work too..I"m not sure if the apk posted above is the same one or not, but might have a second option if it isn't..
here's the links to it..

It works perfectly on my L720T running on NC6 4.4.2 ... I can retrieve it MSL correctly.
Thank you.

I just called sprint yesterday and told them I wanted the msl code to make sure all prl settings were correct because I was getting really bad signal. They confirmed my meid number and gave me the msl code without any hassle. I would give that a go.
Edit: right now I'm rocking a Verizon prl and getting far better signal at my house

Anyone have any luck in finding a way to change the MSL on the L720T? I'm on NG5 modem. Knox is such a pain to deal with.

[Q] Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337M) says NO MOBILE NETWORK (HELP!)

Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum so please excuse me if this is the wrong place to post this. I'll start from the beginning. I bought a Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337m) from somebody in my city. They said the phone originally worked with Rogers/Fido, but that they switched the logic board on it so now it works with Bell/Virgin. The thing is though, when I put my Virgin Mobile sim card in the phone, it won't let me send texts or make calls. I checked the IMEI and it's not blacklisted or anything.
It says No Service and has the little circle with a diagonal line showing up in the notification bar and when I try to send a text, it says No Network Connection (No signal found for mobile networks). I find it weird because I still get a notification saying that I have an unheard voicemail.
I've tried resetting the phone multiple times. I've also tried flashing both the Bell and Virgin Mobile Lollipop firmwares and that didn't work either. To be honest, I'm not sure how to tell which one I would need to install. I noticed when trying to flash the Bell firmware, that the phone kinda skips to a black screen quickly every time I close an app. I'm assuming that would mean it needs the Virgin Mobile firmware.
That still doesn't fix the mobile network issue though. If anyone could help me out, I would GREATLY appreciate it!!!! Here is a bit of info, I'm hoping it helps. If you need anything else, please let me know.
Model number: SGH-I337M
Android Version: 5.0.1
Baseband Version: I337MVLUGOC4
Build Number: LRX22C.I337MVLUGOC4
Also, in the "Status" menu, I noticed it says:
Service State
Voice: Out of Service / Data: Out of Service
Not sure if that has anything to do with it or if that's normal. Again, if you have any suggestions, PLEASE let me know. I'm super desperate as I can't afford to lose the money I paid for this. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Coincidentally my girlfriend has a Galaxy S4 of the same model and with Bell/Virgin. I opened up the ABOUT DEVICE menu in both phones and the only other difference I noticed is on hers it says:
SE for Android Status:
"sepf_sgh-I337M_5.0.1_0013"
And mine says "sepf_sgh-I337M_5.0.1_0009"
Does that have anything to do with it maybe?

Install this APP and add all screenshots pls .
Okay, will do. I will post the screenshots in about 20 mins. I rooted the phone, installed CWM and am in the middle of flashing the latest firmware again. I forgot to enable USB debugging before flashing originally and I wanted to install CWM to wipe the cache. No idea if that would make a difference but I've been up all night trying anything lol. Thank you for the reply though, will post the screenshots in about 20 mins.

All seems correct but I think your device works for Bell Mobile (BMC) only but NOT for Virgin Mobile (VMC). Try to use one BELL simcard for verify it.

In all my experience, Bell/Virgin are always interchangeable. Same with Telus/Koodo and Rogers/Fido. I tried putting a Bell sim card in though just now and it still has the problem. It doesnt load any of the signal bars or anything. Oddly enough, when there is no sim card in the phone, the bars show up?

Since it was from Bell, would flashing the Virgin Mobile firmware somehow mess it up? What are the exact steps I would need to take to try to reset it back to stock settings? I'm wondering if I'm missing anything. Or if the APN settings have anything to do with it? I set them to default already and tried adding the Virgin Mobile Canada apn settings as well

How to root the T-Mobile Note 7 using the sprint leaked firmware.

Here's how you do it: Follow the EXACT SAME GUIDE FROM THE SPRINT NOTE 7 SECTION!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-note-7/how-to/root-super-leaky-bros-sprint-galaxy-t3447202
To get LTE to work again just add the T-Mobile APN (not that hard).
Also, you might want to freeze all the "Sprint OMADM" packages with titanium backup once you're rooted (will cause less of a hassle everytime you boot. I understand the devs in the "all things root" thread are holding this from you because they want to fix wifi calling but I think giving you root at all will tie you over for now. Also, I'm having problems downloading the gear VR apps with this so it's related to following this tutorial.
Thank you so much to the developers who made this possible for the Sprint note 7 and for everyone who brought this to the other variants (the T-Mobile note 7 was the easiest imo). It's a little funny to think that this whole time it was this easy and we could've been rooted all along. *If you really need the T-Mobile firmware rooted so you can enjoy wifi calling I've been working on something for a few hours but it's not ready.*
T-Mobile APN: https://bestmvno.com/apn-settings/t-mobile-apn-settings/
Edit: YouTube video added.
Here's the APN information for T-Mobile if you need it.
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-17581
I thought it was going to be a quick video tutorial
If you're wondering why the model number ends with a "P" is because it's sprint firmware, silly. Your model number will appear as that. In the video you can see I am on T-Mobile. Yes, I do have a T-Mobile note 7. You can find some of my posts of me waiting for my note 7 in Charlie's waiting room thread.

It's literally the same thing as rooting the sprint note 7 except you need to add your APN and disable a few packages. Not that hard.

Uh, this is from freeza? It's his thread that you are following but for the sprint note 7. It turns out it flashes perfectly on the T-Mobile note 7 with no problems and you can add the T-Mobile APN to fix LTE (that's what worked for me).
He leaked the firmware, we're toying with his work (well I barely did anything as you didn't need to do much different for the T-Mobile variant). But yes, I can see why you'd wait for the official ONLY if it is based off of T-Mobile firmware.

WFC and VoLTE might be a bit of a ***** since sprint doesnt offer it and we are using the sprint image the frameworks might just simply not be there.

It's fine, it's root. Better than nothing. You can always use a Google voice number for the meantime if you really want to. We can always make a T-Mobile flashable ROM and flash it with FlashFire.

You need to make a folder called "sun7". Then extract all the contents of the zip you download into that folder. Wherever ADB is installed that folder needs to be in the same directory. Or if ADB is not in the same location provide the path.
Example: adb.exe push C:\pathtofilehere /directory/guide/tellsyouto/pushfoldercontentsto

How to get WiFi Calling and VoLTE with T-Mobile or MetroPCS in USA with F/FD Models

Ok so I've spent the entire time this phone has been on the market (march 2016) trying to get WiFi Calling and VoLTE working on T-Mobile or MetroPCS in the USA. With the Note 7 ports I had some luck and when Nougat finally came I needed to figure it out again. so here's what you do. First download the file Attached to this post, and you're going to need
Super stock ROM from Tkkg1994
Or
this ROM from ambasadii . Will this work with other ROMs? Well i've tried it on Superman and it didn't work but I think it might have to do with those ROMs being DeODEXed maybe not I don't know. I understand the difference but not why, so bear with me. If you get it working on other ROMs let me know.
Unzip the file attached and move it onto your phone somewhere, it doesn't matter where as long as you know where.
OK so now wipe your phone and Flash that ROM, I chose BTU CSC i don't think it matter though. NOW DON'T Reboot.
Go to the main menu in TWRP go to File Manager now you'll notice that the folders in that zip look like your /system/ right? so just cops the folders and files and then paste them in their respective folders in your /system/
I shouldn't have to say this but don't copy the priv-app folder and paste it or any others that have more files and folders that the one you're copying. but you can just copy and paste the /system/csc/ folder
when all those files are in their respective places just reboot the phone and you should be good to go.
I hope this makes sense, finally we can have WiFi Calling AND VoLTE AND be on Nougat AND live in the USA
ATTENTION: THE ZIP FILE ATTACHED IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP YOU NEED TO EXTRACT IT AND PLACE THE FILES YOURSELF IN TWRP'S FILE MANAGER.
I'd have made it a rar but I have a Mac and this is easier.
This works in super stock by tkkg1994 too which is deODEXed so..... https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/rom-superstoc-rom-v1-0-aroma-t3496520
Bro thank you. Worked for me.

Opened some of the CSC XMLs and there is a all kinds of references to T-Mobile. I wonder If this can be modified to apply to a G930F S7 running Nougat [ambasii ROM] on AT&T.

Does at&t have wifi calling? The volte will probably work but I think T-Mobile has a very different wifi calling than everyone else which is why is so damn hard to get it to work on these phones. But I could be wrong.
You can try the Note 7 port CSC changer by tkkg1994 might work.

Got it to work. Was having difficulty originally but I guess after install rom, you have to go and mount the system partition before you can copy the files. Thanks again!
I use the T-mobile support package from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/sm-g935f-nougat-t-mobile-wifi-calling-t3514431
It has worked with every Nougat Rom and is TWRP flashable. I currently use it with King of Nougat v8 and have wifi, volte and video calling capabilities.

The stock contacts app crashes, so I just replaced it with a custom one which still works fine. I'm still able to make and receive voLTE calls. Do you know why the stock one crashes? Can I fix that by just copying the files from here? OP could benefit from some bullet points or something, this guide is a little confusing.
Please provide a way to get Volte on galaxy s7 SM-G935T model...I haven't found any dedicates way to do it...please help
