I am having issues getting other rom's to work. I have flashed lineage to my sprint samsung galaxy s5. I have the twrp bootloader installed and thanks to skillsoft tool i was able to get it to actially stick. I did not like lineage primarily because it has issues with lte and my 64gig sd card ( my 16gig worked though despite being significantly slower) So i tried moar rom by downloading it doing a wipe and installing zip. I let it sit for 40 minutes but it stayed on the samsung screen. So i thought ok maybe its the rom, i downloaded aj's a8 2016 port v2 did a wipe and installed it as a zip, same thing. Is there an issue going from droid 7 to these other rom's?
OK, So i was wondering if this is just me. I dont see much mention about this problem browsing the threads. Course i could be missing it. So despite not really wanting to i brought my phone back to factory. The LTE connection came right back which was relieving i thought maybe i screwed something up royally. So i re-installed twrp and flashed ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.4-20161121-kltespr figuring maybe its something with the neugat based roms. I still cant get my phone to connect with lte. I switch it to lte prefered, nothing. Switch it to 3g and i can connect. Back to lte still nothing. I am clueless as to what might be going wrong other than maybe its the modem driver?
The factory rom i used was G900PVPU3BOK4_G900PSPT3BOK4_G900PVPU3BOK4_HOME.tar.md5
Any insight on this would be very welcomed.
Well I am a bit confused on this. I took the stock rom and extracted the NON-HLOS and modem bin files. ( thank you 7zip allowing fools like me with windows to do things linux is often used for ) from the stock marshmello rom which i downloaded and previously flashed to my phone and verified it connects with lte. I made a tar with both of them and flashed that via cp on odin and i still can only connect with 3g. I am really not sure whats going on with this.
Ok Turns out not knowing what i was doing basically created a LOT of extra work for me. I use a 3rd party mvno called tello which is great for low cost low usage customers like me. I finally stumbled upon this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/tello-apn-settings-t3409432
Added the tello apn and whala worked like magic, didnt even have to reboot. I had to do this with it set to global. For whatever reason when its set to lte i couldnt add and save a apn. Once i added the apn then switched to lte whala lte connection.

I'm new to flashing custom roms and what not. I used odin and flashed everything to the point, csc, modem,pda,pit the rom works awesome but i cannot for the life of me connect to the internet. the 3g icon or h icon wont' show up. in the status it says my network type is gprs and i'm roaming and my mobile network state is disconnected.
I'm with fido, the phone is unlocked i have never had trouble with data or anything until i flashed to a custom rom.
Anyone have the same problem or suggest how to fix?
Data Conn. Issue
Hey mate,
Have you gone into 'Settings', 'Wireless and Networks', 'Mobile Networks' and then 'APN settings' and entered your appropriate settings?
That should fix it if you define the correct access point.
Alex
hey man, yeah i did all that stuff, went in there, found my carrier, put in all the apn settings i can find and still nothing. when i put data roaming on then i get data and the edge icon comes up.
Hey dude,
That sounds strange, flashing custom (or even release) roms is never a guarantee especially with weaknesses in the way that ODIN communicates with your phone, What I would do is Re-Flash your stock rom through ODIN then use the "quick" install method from Darkyy.
I am running 5.6 like you, and I had issues doing it through odin (I kept getting random FC's), additionally, the rom; if installed from CWM will keep your apns and apps e.t.c. along with many settings and configs from the base rom you're using before the flash.
That is the best advice I can give you.
Alex
My config is a follows:
I9000 International
16gb SDHC
500HZ Hardcore Kernel
Darkyy 5.6
Whats the process for reverting back to stock 2.1 eclair rom?
Did you keep a record of your firmware version before reflashing?
If not, you may have to ask someone on here what your base firmware was.
Are you familiar with using ODIN? (The software used for reflashing)
Alex
I am having same issue to...I used 5.4 from Darky and it works well...same with DocRom 4.0 works and the next 5.1/6.0 don't work.
Both Darkys and DocRom are based some JPX....which seem to be root cause..
I've have the same problem. Tried eveything but still didn't work. So went to Samsung Service Centre to have my SGS firmware refresh. I notice after the refreshed same issue of data com missing. Told them and they when into the SGS to select the telco operator setting selection. Now data com. working well. Anyone know the SGS handset setting code? I want to reload to Darky's v5.6 again.
hi folks
i have the same problem... my provider is a virtual provider in the network of our biggest provider here in austria. i was using doc's rom based on xwjpa firmeware and everything worked fine without enabled roaming options.
since doc's rom is based on the newer releases (xxjpx, xxjpy) i' only able to use data connection if i turn on roaming. it also shows me that i'm in a roaming network. i guess the cause are the xx firmwares. xw and xx are european firmwares but i do not know the differences between them. maybe someone has more information about the differences? currently i'm using xwjpa firmware because i don't want to use my phone with enabled roaming options.
hey um i'm having the same problem and thought replying here would be better than starting a new thread.
well i installed the rom without having any idea of what i was doing *stupid idea* so i didn't take note of my original firmware.
i didn't use odin to install the rom just clockwork recovery and the rom and everything installed fine except my data network. i can get signal, call, receive the only problem is i get no data transfer. any help much appreciated. if anything can someone help me step by step to reboot my phone to original?
just for future travellers
Sadly this isn't my own gem, but yeah. hold the power button down, wait for the shutdown menu, above the airplane mode there is a data network button, and it'll most likely say "de-activated" if nothing else has worked. Its ok to feel like a chump, I did after rehashing the hell out of this phone for a few days ( the wifes phone, my phone does exactly what its told. )
Anyway, yeah, this will probably be the reason for the lack of the icon "G", "3G" or "H" where it should be.

First off I'm using an unlocked S5 on straight talk's LTE network, have been for about 9 months with no problems. I've talked to support twice and they reactivated networks and all that good stuff, and when none of that worked sent me a new sim, which I have just activated and it still didn't fix my problem - so I'm finally bringing my issue here.
Last week I decided to update from phoenix rom oc4 (I think it was oc4) to optimal rom og5 (15-5). Anyway I was hasty in flashing and messed up, so just went back to stock ncg > root > full wipe > flash firmware, rom, kernel, firmware again just to be safe. The rom works fine except I seem to have lost my data connection. The 4G icon still shows, but it's not filled in - as you can see in the screenshots. To make it even more strange, when I check the network and sim card in apps like Advance Signal Status and Sim Manager, I still seem to be getting a connection to 4G but there is just no data flowing. The only error I can see is in phone info, when I run a ping test, I get PingIpAddr: Fail: IP addr not reachable which you can also see in the screenshots. It would appear this is my problem but I don't know where to go from here. I'm going to start flashing different versions of modems, starting with oc4 to see if that helps. Then I'll probably try different roms, but I've flashed other roms trying to fix this and even restored the backup to when it worked and it still didn't fix my problem. Did I wipe my IP address or something maybe? I am in CDMA/LTE mode, and the vzwinternet apn is selected.
For starters try to put the apn settings for your carrier and if not sure call them and ask them to email you the setting
I fixed it, went back to stock ncg instead of ni2 and that worked. Weird.

OK, *FIRST TIME POSTER HERE* so please excuse any unintentional ignorance of rules or etiquette.
I'm just super excited to get this phone working the way I like it, and it's all thanks to xda so I was moved to create an account to express my thanks AND hopefully help a few people back.
How? Well after reading through pretty much everything I could find on the N910S here and elsewhere, it seems that no-one (yet?) has been able to confirm a working mod that meets the following:
1. N910S Exynos Korean version
2. Some kind of custom English only ROM that removes the Korean characters from keypad and other network-apps
3. Removed bloatware
4. Easy-to-follow, how-to guide
Seems there were quite a few ppl who wanted the same thing so I just want to let you know what I did to get it working.
*PLEASE NOTE* Everything contained in this summary was found through over a week of tedious reading, research, trial & error. BUT in the end all the necessary information was contained, or linked to, in xda forums. It's just that all the relevant information and files were scattered over many different threads and topics. I'm just collating it all here to hopefully make it easier for the next person to find.
Background info: I'm technically competent but relatively new to phone modding - I've only rooted my HTC E8 before this to remove bloatware. This is my second project. I live in HK and started with a completely stock OEM Note4 N910SKSU2DPK2 after a factory reset. I then did the steps below in order (not including many failed attempts and re-starts, of course) These are just the broadstrokes of what I did, if you need to know how to do each step in detail then please search the forum. It's quite clear and there's no need for me to repeat it here anyway
As it's my first post and I'm in a rush to leave the house soon, I have not bothered with screenshots or links - I'm happy to provide if someone can tell me if the preferred method is link to the thread where the info was found, or you just want a link to the files I used. Again, they were all found through links in threads on xda anyway but I'll have to spend some time to find them again as I didn't bookmark them. Also, if you want the files someone will have to tell me how to upload them here. The filenames/packages are given in [brackets] so maybe you can just search for them?
0. Reminder to backup your phone and data first!
1. Root - was really easy using CF AutoRoot [CF-Auto-Root-trelteskt-trelteskt-smn910s] Just download to your PC and package includes Odin, which for first-timers is the official Samsung software used to flash to your phone.
2. Download:
- ClockWorkMod [n910s-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.1(1113).tar]
- SuperSU [SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip]
- C Mod ROM [C_ROM_N910s.v2HNY.zip] (the site is Korean-based but google translate of the page was enough for a non-Korean like myself)
- N910S DPK2 modem file [N910S-20170114T050808Z.zip] The original thread had links to every modem variant they knew of, so should work with other S/L/K variants BUT of course I haven't tried them.
3. Copy files for SuperSU, CMod ROM, and DPK2 modem onto an external SD card and insert into your phone.
4. Put your phone into Download Mode (from power-off state, hold Vol Down + Home + Power)
5. Run Odin on your PC, connect phone. On Odin, click <AP> and select CWM file. Do not check or modify any other options. Click <Start> to flash CWM recovery to your phone.
6. Once it's done, disconnect from PC, and restart your phone into the new custom recovery mode (from power-off state, hold Vol Up + Home + Power)
7. Choose Install from zip and select the SuperSU file from your ext SD card. (I think this step may not be strictly necessary as it's part of CF AutoRoot, but SuperSU is always handy to have anyway)
8. Reboot into Recovery mode again (available in Advanced menu)
9. Install zip - now choose the CMod ROM file. Reboot into system and have a look around the new UI. It was at this stage that I noticed two things: my HK carrier SIM was not recognised, and as the ROM boasts some Note 5 features the Always On Display function would cause my Note 4 to not be able to wake up once the screen was turned off (manually or via time-out). I had to pull out the battery, restart phone, go straight into Settings -> Display and turn off the Always On Display functionality.
10. To fix the SIM card not recognised, reboot into Recovery Mode again and Install zip - choose the DPK2 modem file (or whichever version your phone's modem is). Restart phone, wait a few minutes and SIM should now work.
*ONE REMAINING ISSUE* Even tho my SIM is 4G/LTE, it seems to be connecting at HSUPA only. Could be reception, I'll check later. But I believe there's a way to select different LTE bands through secret codes or menu, not sure but I'll try that as well later and update if it works.
That's it - hope it helps! Thanks for reading, and don't forget I'm new to this AND a first time poster so be kind in comments/questions please

So by following steps in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/note-4-sm-n910s-sk-telecom-issues-t2929571/page2 for SKT, I was able to change to LTE Band 3 or 7 (which is what my sim provider offers) and get an LTE signal for data, BUT then I lose voice call functionality. If I choose Band 3 Preferred, it says band changed success, but just connects via HSUPA and I get voice, but no LTE (just like before, or if I choose Automatic)
Can anyone please help me figure this out? How can I get voice AND LTE? Many thanks in advance!
PS - also after I reflashed my modem.bin the baseband changed from N910SKSU2DPK2 to N910SKSU0DPK2. I don't know what this means nor if it has anything to do with the problem I've described above? Can anyone help to explain? Thanks...

Band 3 and 7 are supposed to stick with default settings. I tried it once during my trip to Malaysia and it worked flawlessly. Any chance you might want to contact your carrier?
The trick to switch from 4G-3G-4G works. ATT band 5 preferred

Have you tried switching to 3g only, then switching it back to 4g when available in your phone setting??
I had similar issue with 4g and apparently, this strangely simple trick solved my problem.
Anyway, I tried to download the ROM from the Achonapp but took me ages and I couldn't flash it either. May I know where you got the ROM from?

Tried your suggestion but now it shows No Service
*update* actually I think your "trick" works... After switching to 3G only, it wouldn't switch back to 4G and showed No Service. I rebooted the phone with a different sim and after a few minutes, it automatically connected to 4G AND I now have voice as well! So, all is working properly now and I'm a happy camper. Reboot with the original sim and still works and connects to 4G. So I think you're right it just needed to be "forced" to select 4G preferred. Thanks for the tip!
Yeah I got it from achonapp as well and it took a while - I think I left it going overnight. But the ROM did work for me. If anyone wants the file direct I'm happy to put it up on my google drive if it's not against forum rules etc.
But since then I've switched to miui8 which is also working pretty much flawlessly as daily ROM, but I haven't tested every single little feature of course. If you wanna try it - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70596588&postcount=797
Hoping to get some assistance or maybe even just clarification on this topic...
So, I purchased an unlocked S8 Active with the Sprint branding for use on T-Mobile network. After updating the proper APN settings, I was up and running fine, but wanted to get Wi-Fi calling back, so I flashed over to the latest T-Mobile firmware available at Sammobile - G892USQS3BRG5. Ok, before you say anything, yes, it was stupid to flash a brand new v3 bootloader, but it's done so no going back (to my knowledge). Anyways, flash went fine on Odin 13.3.1, but upon reboot there is the Sprint splashscreen. It even tried to constantly verify the SIM card with the Sprint OMADM app, which I have since uninstalled through adb.
Any chance anyone can provide any insight into this (admittedly minor) issue? I don't really have any major issues other than the aforementioned Wi-Fi calling is gone, and I have to use a third party messaging app due to MMS not playing nicely with the Samsung version. Any help on this would be great, and maybe we can stir up some discussion to help prevent someone else from making the same mistake.
I'm curious where you got the ODIN you used.
I have an S8 Active, but an AT&T version, and need to do the same thing - I want to flash G892USQS3BRG5 onto it for the same reason - WiFi Calling won't work AND I cannot get cell calls when my WiFi is on which has resulted in me missing important calls.
When I tried to flash I got a PIT error using what I think was the same version of Odin (patched).
I'm pretty new at this reflashing stuff so perhaps I did something stupid?
Thanks
