Moto E 2015 CDMA (Sprint, XT1526) custom rom frustrations and woes!

Okay, so I wasted 7 hours last night to find out that CDMA surnia (XT1526) has no good custom roms that support LTE and wifi tether working.
My XT1526 (Sprint/Boost) has following problems.
I started with fully stock, OTA updated Lollipop 5.1, Sprint Moto E 2015 (XT1526).
For my preparation, I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and rooted.
1. Wifi tether is not working for XT1526 Stock OTA Android 5.1 rooted.
a. Before root, tried tether_dun_required 0, but still no data coming through even when hotspot is connected.
b. Rooted and tried Wif Tethering. Same, hotspot works but no internet access for my computer.
c. Tried methods here promising that it works for XT1526. But doesn't work for me.
d. Tried custom roms to see if they have Wifi tether fix embedded.
2. There is no single custom rom that has LTE working.
a. Latest CM12.1 has problem with XT1526 CDMA LTE connections.
b. I was getting no data connection. But I was able to make a call.
3. Tried going back to stock firmware 5.1 Lollipop.
a. Tried that fastboot commands but even it says successfully flashed, I get bootloop.
3. Went back to stock firmware 5.0.2, retaining unlocked bootloader using guide here.
a. Now I am not receiving OTA for 5.1 as I did when I just bought the phone recently.
b. Everything else works. LTE is connecting fast and reliably.
c. Wifi Tether is now not evening tuning on. Says I need to have hotspot plan with carrier.
d. For Stock 5.0.2., tether_dun_required 0 doesn't stick. It reverts to 1 when rebooted.
I am planning to try again with root+custom recovery while at 5.0.2.
Now I am downgraded to 5.0.2 and wifi tether still not working!!

XT1526 (Boost) works fine out of the box on all CM/CM based roms as of late September. It's the Sprint and VMU variants that are still being worked on. @superR over at AF has deodexed and debloated official firmware that runs fine on both Boost and Sprint devices along with a flashable hotspot fix.

Oh having debloated official firmware would be nice.
I tried to search for superR's post in XDA but couldnt find the rom for surnia.
Can you tell me what AF is? is that a website?

AF is android forums, I'm pretty sure. When you go to that website, just type in moto e 2015, under the rooting section, you will find the ROMs. Good luck!

Thanks for the info

If you're trying to tether it to your computer for a Wi-Fi signal the easiest way is PdaNet do a little searching you'll find the unlocked version out there for download

Is anyone successfully running Nougat with Verizon?

I want to use Nougat on my HTC 10. I have the verizon version of the phone, but don't mind converting to any other version if necessary (or just easier) to move to Nougat.
I've been reading for days, but can't find any solid, complete information on how to do this, or really if even possible. I've found lots of pieces of the puzzle, but nothing that lists the steps, or requirements for making this work.
If you know how to get a Verizon phone working on Nougat firmware and have a working phone and data, I'd love to know EXACTLY how you managed to do so. If I can't have advanced calling right now, that's okay with me, but I do need a working phone and data at a minimum.
I've installed PMEUHL_2.28.401.9 firmware and LeeDroid_ROM_Nougat_HTC10_R21, but had to change the phone to SuperCID 1111111 to get it to install. I also had to change the firmware packages' android.txt file to have the MID match the phone (MID2PS650000).
I have everything running, but have no phone or data, so I'm stuck with wifi only at this point.
I don't mind if I have to wipe the phone again to get it working (I'd rather not), so long as I can use the phone on Verizon again.
Is it possible I just need to flash the verizon radio at this point, or do I just need to start from scratch?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Have you tried formatting data?
In TWRP > wipe > format data > (type) yes
(do at own risk, it won't hurt anything, just will wipe your internal. you ARE warned)
------------------
Side note, Advanced Calling only works on one ROM, and that is @santod040 amazing port found here
I run SuperCID all the time, It's suggested to do 22222222 instead of 11111111 but not a biggie at all.
I run Verizon firmware with multirom. I have my stock ROM as primary (this is a must) and then I can flash any N ROM as a secondary.
I have ICE N ROM, Leedroid N ROM, Santods ROM, AOKP MM and CM 14.1 all loaded up and working great with data.
----------------
As for what you want,

You could wait a little bit longer for it to be released. It's not far away.

For NuSense ROM do we still need to install with data unencrypted? I assume so because I don't think TWRP is updated for Android N. Thanks.

I'm on the new viper 4.3.1 which is N based without upgrading firmware. everything working pretty well and has great tweaks and theming. Give it a shot.
wifi calling and video calling seem to be bugged but the advanced calling is active for hd voice
id do it this way until Verizon updates, itll be soon.

Might just stay on MM, Idk I'm torn. If NuSense has VZW features working bug free I'll give that a shot

On the Downloads tab of the HTC 10 TWRP thread, there is an unofficial version of TWRP v3.0.2.7 which supports Nougat firmware. If you're still on Marshmallow firmware and use a Nougat ROM on it, you still might want to use the official TWRP v3.0.2.6.

You can be on the phone, and at the same time, use data?
Ex: GPS while using the phone or browsing play store while on a call

Just because the LTE icon is there doesn't mean it's working. Try making a call and browsing the play store.

When I was running N I couldn't browse the web and be on a phone call simultaneously. Also, HD calling and video calling did work for me. This was on LeeDroid N and I also tried Viper 2.4.0 with the same results.

Viper Nougat 4.x.x works perfectly fine on VZW Marshmallow firmware, except no advanced calling (wifi calling and VoIP).
Make sure to choose 6.0.1 firmware in the last option of Aroma to have fingerprint scanner working, as well as mobile data. (if you are on MM firmware!!) ROM does NOT install firmware.

Advanced calling is bugged on HTC's end, and will be until either an incremental official update or until a fix is found. TL: DR it will be bugged in all roms based of HTC N.

But advanced calling works fine on test N ROMs on the Verizon 10, so you'll just have to wait for the OTA to drop.

I dont know about you guys but I've got a notification from Verizon saying 2.28 is ready to download. Hopefully its not much longer until everything is working perfectly.

I think you're probably running a custom Rom and seeing the notification for US Unlocked Nougat.
It's not a notification from Verizon at all.
There is no Verizon 2.28 Nougat update... It will not be 2.28.605.x when it's released.

Correct, that's what I was saying as well.
As the current Nougat Vzw test builds are not 2.28 and aren't typically of the same number as other variants anyways...

Moving to Magisk Nougat

Hey guys, I'm stock, rooted, s-off with magisk and I'd like to be on Lee Droid or Viper Nougat with working Magisk and Verizon features. The way I'm reading their guides, it seems I would have to be on Nougat firmware for that. Does that mean I can convert to US Unlocked Nougat with updated firmware, then to Lee Droid or Viper Magisk and pass safety net while having nougat and advanced calling and such?
Thanks guys

I'd love to know the answer to this as well. I don't have many friends using Verizon, so I don't use the Verizon features much. I'm just kind of tired of Verizon being slow with their updates. For some reason I keep being stupid and buying Verizon phones despite the long updates for 4 different phones that have been on Verizon. :/

you guys have to flash the US unlocked RUU and then flash the Verizon radio for it to work. From what I've read you'll have the features you want. But since I haven't personally tried I cannot be 100%. there is guides on how to do this.
IMHO, I would wait for Verizon, it is always best to use your carriers firmware. It wont be much longer even though itll feel like a lifetime.

I'd love to get a confirmation on this as well. I can say however from my own experience that running VZW firmware with viper10 4.x.x ROM that everything works great EXCEPT volte (HD calling/ advanced calling features) I'd like to mention to others who are experimenting as well that I can format data, flash 3.5.0 and have volte back up and running no problem. My theory is the issue lies in the VZW firmware being a MM version. My next step is to flash the nougat RUU, flash the VZW radio, and then the viper nougat ROM. I'll share the results once I get the chance to do everything. Again if anyone can chime in on this method that would be greatly appreciated.

ROMs now support Advanced Calling with Magisk.
now just need vzw nougat.

Did you do anything special when you installed the ROM? Could you tell me what steps you took installing it? Just wondering if I'm missing something. I have the latest VZW firmware installed as well. Are you positive that advanced calling is working? I notice that when you make a call the data signal icon will remain on the status bar (unless you go into venom tweaks and change it to anything other than the stock icon, then it will disappear) but there won't be any traffic and I can confirm it by trying to load a web page.

So this is the last intermediate step to getting the extra verizon functions to work? Im assuming once androidkitchen is fixed to set the values properly, we should be able to build it in directly?

That's what it's looking like to me. With some work it is possible to get ROMs working on MM firmware with VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling. Santods rom has had this for a little bit and now with this new information, if one was to say combine both, the outcome is great. But I'll leave that to those more experienced than myself, but it is possible now thanks to all these brilliant minds.

Is the magisk files in the magisk repo?

Even better. Didn't realize that 4.6.0 was out, so I don't know of the change log.
Wasn't bragging by any means also.. Was just stating that it works, and was sure smarter devs would get it soon.

I can confirm that the viper 4.6.0 upgrade does fix volte for vzw devices running mm firmware. The changelog says only working for non magisk version, I suppose that's due to no nougat firmware/RUU released from Verizon yet. If that's a deal breaker your gonna have to wait, otherwise make sure your running the supersu only version. I upgraded from 4.5.0 and it works perfectly. Something I've noticed over the last few months with all the flashing I have done is that if you go into the hidden network info screen, if it shows 3107 for your carrier, it won't work, if it says Verizon wireless as your carrier, then everything is working as it should. Thanks for the update in the rom guys this is GREATLY appreciated for the hard work.

[Q] No 4G on custom roms after leaving the Q Beta

I decided to roll back to Pie for a bit so I can enjoy some bug-free experiences and try to test the Pokemon Masters. I've tried to install HavocOS 2.7 Offical GSI and also the official ASiP for the mata.I'm on boost mobile in the US and it seems that neither have the correct apn. For HavocOS, where it says your carrier in the notification bar, it read 310000 and only listed Verizon apns. ASiP said boost, but none of the apns worked. I also tried adding boost apns manually, which still wouldn't let me access 4g. Only 3G. I also tried changing the network type through the settings and through the *#*#4636#*#* menu. I can't figure it out but really want to use HavocOS (or any custom rom really). I'm tired of stock Q for the moment. Any suggestions?
Quick edit: 4G works on stock July Pie release and Q. Also stuck on 4G on LOS 16.
Edit 2: I got back to Pie by removing myself fromt the Q beta using the app and used a fastboot img to roll back. All is fine on stock every time. I've even tried switching out the system.img and replaced it with the HavocOS img in the fastboot package. Installed and ran smooth, but still no 4g no matter what.

No luck. Sending this from my 3G only Essential on HavocOS.

My carrier showing 31000 3G means its trying to connect to Verizon... That's why. I can't figure out how to fix it though.

I am on ting CDMA(sprint structure). Stock ROM shows as boost, los shows sprint. No update prl/profile available in los. Using los w/ microg. /e/ had the same problem, also couldn't read the phones number. Battery is so much better, and I am on WiFi most of the time, so I am sticking with it for now. Stock ROM started freezing, gapps giving lots of problems, the reasons I switched.

Is there a way to enable the hotspot feature?

I'm using the ATT device with Google Fi Oreo firmware. Everything is working mostly ok except the hotspot feature. I read that it only works on ATT and T-mobile SIMs apparently. Is there a way to enable it? Either via some third party app or Xposed module?

Flash to GFI/NA Pie and you'll have hotspot. Hotspot is borked on Oreo at least 10h version.

Good to know. Pie was unreliable in other ways so I downgraded. I'll keep it in mind.
