[ROM|Stock Rooted] 4/24/13 Sprint TouchWiz Jelly Bean 4.1.2 (L710VPBMD4) Odex/DeOdex

PRL change success with this ROM?

Has anyone had success with this ROM to change their PRLs?

I've been trying to change my PRL with this ROM after a clean flash, but the ROM won't read it after a reboot.

Even though I'm flashing with DFS CDMA Tool, and reading post flash, that it was flashed properly..
...after the reboot, it will still read the PRL as '1' in the system menus.
Also, when using DFS CDMA to read the PRL after a reboot, it reads it as the recently flashed PRL.
So, it just looks like the ROM can't read it?
Or the PRL is truly not integrated properly, so the ROM reads an old PRL '00001' that I had long ago?
seems weird that the DFS CDMA Tool will read it, but the ROM won't

I have in my head from a few other threads that PRL flashing will truly only work with the stock TW ROM, but it's hit and miss with custom TW ROMs? But the only tweaking with this ROM is that it's rooted upon install? no other tweaks (besides the kernel stuff)?

Any sharing of experience/insight would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Any tw rom will let you change your prl... I have done it with tpr, moar and this rom, but I don't use CDMA tool... Find and flash the prl write enabler, read the directions from that thread and use that method, never had a problem with that

Here's the zip http://db.tt/NJJGibKO flash that.. Then while on a tw rom you can dial ##data# go to view then prl write, then write... Download prl and rename to test.prl and put on the root of your internal SD card before dialing the number... You may or may not need to turn off data before writing the prl... Sometimes it will work with data on, sometimes it won't.. I turn my data off and it works every time first try

I'm not sure if anyone has had this problem or not. I used the search and didn't see much of anything on it. I've been on this ROM for at least 5 months now and love it. One thing i've noticed though is that when i'm in an area with no service, instead of roaming it just shows no service. I've made sure that i have the settings to allow roaming on. My wife also has the same GS3 but is 100% stock and hers will roam and she has service at least. Anyone have any advice on how to make my phone roam when i don't have a sprint connection?

This ROM is 99.99% stock with that .01% being that it is rooted, so it should behave the same way as any 100% stock phone. You didn't give too many specifics, so here is what I would do in general:

1. Go into Settings -> More settings -> Roaming
2. In Roaming network, select Automatic.
3. In Roaming settings, make sure Voice and/or Data is checked in the Domestic section. International roaming is optional, though you can try that if Domestic is not working.

Still not able to roam?

4. Try going to Settings -> System Update and do Update PRL and Update Profile.

Still not roaming?

5. Go to Settings -> About device, make sure that Baseband shows: "L710VPBMD4". If not go to step 6. If yes go to step 8.

6. Flash this:

MD4 Firmware:
MD4 Firmware/modem/baseband update
MD5: EEEAFDBE59CF9C5B492B1A591EC92D02

7. Redo Step 4.

8. If, after this, you're still not able to roam, try typing in ##72786# into the dialer. If done correctly, your phone should reboot, perform hands free activation, and then it should start working again.

If you're still roaming after this, I really don't know how to help past this.

When updating the PRL and profile, should it be done in that order. And is a reboot suggested after updating each one or both, for best results?

Does not matter what order you do it and a reboot is not necessary.

Thanks for all the info, my baseband did show the L710VPBMD4 so i updated my PRL again and Profile and then did the hands free activation hoping it will work. Probably won't know for a week or so until i get into a area without good signal but its a start!

Best of luck to you. I also have pretty crappy Sprint signal in my office, so I tend to rely on roaming or else I'll miss calls/texts during work. I'm hoping that Sprint's new 800 MHz spectrum changes my situation once it's fully deployed, but if I still get no Sprint signal at work after that, I'll probably just switch to Verizon as they are the only carrier that agreed to put a repeater inside of our building.

I just wanted to report back and my Roaming does work now after doing the Hands Free Activation. Thanks for the advice, i greatly appreciate it!

What's the difference between the "MD4 Kernel with Jelly Bean boot animation, adb, and int.d support" and the "MD4 Kernel Optimized" kernel? I've been having not so great battery life on the pure stock kernel and I'm hoping the second kernel I listed will help me with that, BUT if anyone can shed some insight on those two I would like that very much! Thanks!

I means just how they sound buddy one is optimized n one isnt buddy the optimized one is tweaked for a balanced of performance n battery n has all of the features the other kernel the other kernel isnt optimized it just has what it says it has buddy

All I needed was "the optimized one is tweaked for a balanced of performance n battery n has all of the features the other kernel" but thank you for your reply and clarification

I am on Slim 4.3 rom right now and want to return to stock rooted. Can i use the files posted in 1st post and flash via cwm?

Yes

battery optimized kernel

Yes

I have already flashed the md4 rom and firmware.

Can I flash the battery optimized kernel on top of that?

Thanks for the replies.

Same question, does it play nice with TWRP?
