(Request) Missing MSL Need Sprint Radio/Baseband - LG V20 Questions & Answers

I was on the stock rooted rom for the LS997 not the US996 variant I flashed the Lineage rom for it and since then my baseband was different and my device has forgotten its MSL code. So if someone could please upload the stock radio/baseband zip you'd be a life saver. Without this I get data connectivity but no call or sms abilities. Thank you in advance.
PS. if there is an easier way to fix this do leave it in the comments section. Thanks.

You will need to flash a stock rom.(the sprint NSS rom will work) and update your profile/prl.

I'm currently on the NSS rom. Sorry I signed into google and it put me on a different account. I've tried updating PRL and Profile many times I've just been unable to connect to sprint due to lack of an MSL, a tech said that's the stock baseband in a zip will fix it. I have a different baseband than all the other LS997's.

Alright update #2 I've got data working still but the device has forgotten it's msl and sprint gave me the number. It doesn't work in the dialer code and even worse I can't check for PRL and Profile updates or even software updates because the device only works on sprints lte network as if it were a gsm device. I have a different baseband than any other sprint V20 and would really appreciate some help.

I NEED LG V20 (LS997) MSL...i dont have sprint account!

[Q] Flashed LG LS970 & LS980 3G Connection Problem

Hello. I flashed a Sprint LG G2 to PagePlus. The Flash goes well and All my items stick. But the problem is the connection is unstable. I'm noticed with both the LS970 and LS980 the same problem happens. The mobile data will first connect with 1x then to Evdo. Then the network will disconnect. I flash phones to pageplus all the time and they all have 3G - EVDO. But the unstable 3G is crazy. It will not stay connected. Why are the new LG phones like this? Has anyone encountered this problem and found a solution? I look forward to people's reply because I know a lot of people have run into this problem. Thanks in advanced.

Hello. Absolutely! That's my personal phone! Just make sure when you flash it, you leave the SIM card in the phone. 3g data works, mms, etc. Good luck.

The flashing method is same for all phones. Doesn't matter what kind. I'll give you a good starting place. Viper32 has a forum on here helping people with flashing. And there are plenty of forums with a ton of info. Good luck.
this g2 has been a nightmare for me. i have gotten used to samsung just flash and forget about it, only thing break flash on them is ota. this g2 though..... :/
I'm having same issue. unstable 3g
Sprint probs
What happened with mines is similar but I had the att variant
So I flashed mime to sprint and it worked but only on their 1x network and 3g towers in order for 4g to work and there new spark network I had to get a Sim card and pop it in and boom 4g LTE worked the sec I put it in

No. Call history has nothing to do with flashing. The only way you can lose call history is if you factory reset the phone or you personally delete the call history yourself.

Actually its a known issue with this phone, that it looses its call history when flashed.
It has something to do with the Stock ROM release
I have the same issue.
Also I get a "MIP : 89" error sometimes.
Also, I have a system update downloaded waiting to install but not sure if it'll kill my flash so I've been scared to hit the button.

Is your phone the LS980? I had a customer who updated his LS980 this past week and I had to re-flash his phone. You'll probably have to re-flash as well.

Freedompop N900P help

Hi all,
I have a freedompop ( they use sprints network) Note 3 N900P. Since the phone uses the sprints network indirectly, I am not sure which roms I will be able to install. Also the phone comes with lollipop; can i use the cf-root app? It says that it only supports the 4.4 bootloader, but the phone is running 5.0.(not sure if the bootloader was updated).
I would like your advice.
Thanks in advance
The Faqs show that phone as a Sprint model so i would expect the Sprint forum to have the answers .

No one replied; I can confirm that it already has twrp installed. The only thing I am curious about is if the roms in the general note 3 threads will be compatible.
USUALLY any non-exynos rom will work. I'm on ringplus. I just add my APN and done. Tried using Music of life LP rom, though that one is tricky to add apn because it's greyed out with the SPR csc. Use the XAS csc to get apn to work. I'm now using darkera13's s7 edge port which gave me no problems editing my APN. I'm assuming the s7 edge port in this forum might have a similar experience.
Oh and the sprint section was no help for me. I had to figure it out on my own.

No, I never could. For that you'll have to try sprint-based roms. Personally, I've gotten a signal just fine without updating prl.

Probably APN. Find out what your cell provider's APN settings are and make your own.

The phone get APN form provider, also i added it manually, but can't get 4G.
I think the problem, is that the phone is sprint and 4G work only in USA, right ?

oh right you're not in the US. If the bands aren't supported then you won't get the data. I don't believe a cdma phone was the right choice to use outside the US. Have better odds using a gsm phone.

flashing back to g930v from g930u

Quick question. I want to flash back to g930v version because I don't get phone reception with g930u version for some reason.
I'm currently onG930U-APL2 and I heard I need to flash G930v of the same revision otherwise I will not be able to boot up. But I looked at https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G930V/ and I don't see any APL2 versions for G930V. Which one can I flash? Can I flash the 7.0 version?
Thanks!
It's not the same version you have to flash, it's the same or higher bootloader version you have to flash. You can flash Nougat. Before going back to Verizon firmware, did you enable Verizon APN in settings on the U-firmware?

I did enable verizon APN setting. I only get LTE data but no network connection. Not on verizon phone service per se, I use Boom Mobile which is a verizon MVNO. I tried their APN settings as well, but it still didn't give me cell service.
Oic. You aren't the first person that has had that issue. I guess I should stop assuming that everyone using Verizon firmware is on official Verizon service lol.

this odin writes to userdata? So it allows full carrier switch? That's huge if true
so how does this work when its time to get an ota update? do you need to flash back to att and then flash to the unlocked equivalent or can you just take unlocked ota's to update the phone?

You do not have to ODIN back. It will update normally. It was pulled from a US Cellular Device which was sold unlocked. I have the Canada version also with the built in Caller ID to identify unknown numbers with the Samsung Smart Call feature. and you do not have to program the APN. Yall let me know if you want me to upload it along with instructions.

I have a Sprint S8+
Have tried flashing over it with this ROM and a Verizon ROM.
Both flash worked completely n ODIN but when the phone reboots, it is still Sprint.

I have the Verizon variant and downloaded the Canadian version, and flashed that over completely the regular CSC, not the home_CSC. This was using the prince comsey or whatever version of Odin, and I let it reboot after. During the setup I did the same thing the other guy mentioned where you only set a pin, and select yes to boot the device with your pin. Once I got through the setup I turned on dev mode, and flashed my stock FW, which was Verizon. I selected all files and chose the home_csc from the Verizon package along with the VZW AP, BL and CP files.
Flashed them all over and let the device reboot. Once it turned on it took a minute or so to get LTE and service in general but it worked.

Thanks so much for this! Just for clarification the Unlocked US Cellular version does not have Smart Call only the Canadian version does or am I reading it wrong? Just trying to figure out the difference and which one would be best for my G955U.

The Canadian one is the one with Smart Call
So this makes an att phone unlocked to any carrier?

Just an update but I tried the Canadian one on my device using the home.csc. Notice it does not have a UMS. It worked! The Canadian version is super clean! I am on AT&T, besides for the known things like wifi calling. Are we missing anything by not using the US Cellular version?
Thanks again, it just seems like the US cellular version wouldn't take for me but I am now happy and bloatware free.

Can I completely delete Sprint from my Samsung Galaxy S7 edge?

I have an "unlocked" SGS7 edge that I bought from a friend and he had it with Sprint. I tried using on AT&T network but it asked me for an MSL code in order to be able to change the APN settings to the AT&T ones. I was able to get the MSL from someone who know more about phones than I do. After this, I am able to use the network and data from AT&T but it still has some features blocked because I can't get past the "Hands Free Activation" from Sprint. These features are the hotspot and voicemail among other.
So my question is if I can completely delete Sprint from my phone by flashing the AT&T firmware for the S7 edge onto my device.
All help is welcome.

Read the back of ur phone if it says 935u then it's an unlocked version.
Use the xda samfirm tool put
Model SM-G935U
Region ATT
It will download the most recent firmware from samsung servers.
Set to auto
Flash the files in that zip with odin.
