[Q] Unlocked, now a question about ROMs - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Good afternoon. First, thanks to all the developers for all of the work that they do. I really appreciate it. On to my questions:
Using the unlock guide, I'm now using my Spring S4 with a Straight Talk At&t Sim card. I flashed the JFLTE GPE Rom back in February, if I'm not mistaken. I have even updated the ROM, using the OTA updater. Lately I was getting very choppy playback with any music player and I kept having a recurring issue with my network. I would have a pop up asking to sign into the At&t network. This only started happening with the latest update. But since I had this ROM for a while, I figured I'd try something else. I flashed the latest GAMER 5.1 ROM, specifically for the Sprint S4 (L720) and didn't get any network service at all. I thought I lost my unlock. So I flashed back to GPE got my service back. I was under the impression that I could flash any ROM because my phone was unlocked. My first question is, with my unlocked Sprint S4 using a Straight Talk At&t sim card, what ROMS can I flash and keep my unlock? I tried to flash a At&t ROM, but the flash fails and states that the ROM is only for JFLTEATT and that I have JFLTESPR.
Would this happen if I was trying to go to Lollipop 5.1.x from 5.0x? Do I need to stick with only Sprint ROMS?
Also after all this, when I went back to GPE, I can no longer send any texts. I have tried all of the Straight Talk APNs, but keep getting At&t error code 96 when attempting to send a message. Any ideas on what could be causing this issue?
This has been going on for about 4 days now. It's been that long because I have been reading and reading, trying to see what I did wrong, or what I need to do to fix it. Please help. If anyone wants to help, but needs more info, please ask and I will get back to you asap.

Have your tried a non-AOSP ROM? The stock ROM?

I have not tried either option. I didn't want to try an option (stock) that might take away the unlock because right now I'm limited to using my work laptop and cannot use anything that will need "administrator" privileges. I can't even run Odin without the system blocking it. I will try a non AOSP Rom when I get home tonight. Thanks for your help and I will get back with you.

Hey, I have updated the ROM to CM12 and go into the Phone Info menu (*#*#4636#*#*) and I see where it says LTE/CDMA and I can change it to LTE/WCDMA, which is what it was in the unlock sequence. It will show the service switch over to At&t (Straight Talk At&t sim) and even show my number. However this doesn't stick and it reverts back to LTE/CDMA showing the provider as Sprint. Is there a way to make it stick? What is causing this? Its as if it knows it's unlocked but can't hold onto it.....I will try a non AOSP ROM as soon as I can get to my laptop . May I ask why you think that would work? I'm not doubting you, I'm just asking because I'm curious and really wanna know what would be different.

AOSP ROMs are notorious for data problems. Touchwiz is what was made specifically for your phone, everything just works. I'm just saying that will be an easy way to see if the ROMs you are using are the problem. There are custom Touchwiz ROMs that pack a lot more punch than ugly old stock.... like mine- Wicked X

Ha! I swear I was just looking at your thread for your ROM. The exact same one! I noticed that tag/picture and was thinking, is that the guy who has been helping me? Maybe I should try that one. I'm dl'ing now. Thanks. I think I found out the problem or at least some type of solution., even though I still can't seem to send any messages. In the Mobile Network option, I changed the Preferred network type to Global. Then in that same Phone Menu option, the LTE/WCDMA option actually stuck. I have data and can make calls, just not able to send messages. This was with the official CM12 Rom for jfltespr. It wasn't working earlier on this Rom, so maybe there's hope. Like I said, I'm dl'ing your Rom now and will install in the morning. Thanks and I really appreciate this. I will let you know how this works out.

Yeah WCDMA is AT&T.

Just one tidbit.. You can't flash *any* rom because your phone is unlocked. VERY important you know this.. Unlocked has to do with carrier and your sim. Unlocked means you can use it on any network.
Roms are typically made specifically for certain phone models and their varients..
Just keep this in mind

Thanks for confirming this. I looked through quite a few pages on the Domestic Sim Unlock Thread to find where I asked that particular question and read quite a few pages afterwards but never saw a reply to my question. What's crazy is that I did see people who said they unlocked the L720 and said they flashed t-mobile Roms. I also recall that they were having quite a few issues with their service as well though. But when I tried to flash At&t roms, it stops during the flashing process and won't let me go any further.
Last night I downloaded quite a few rom (Sprint specific) and flashed them. After playing around with each, I was able to get data and calling, but my messaging is still not working. I've tried several different messaging apps (Google messenger, hangouts, Textra, Go SMS) and none are working. This leads me to believe this is a bigger issue. Is there anywhere that this feature might have been locked again, if that is even possible? Thanks for replying and all of your help. I appreciate it.

Helloo!

I tried to install your rim earlier and the flash kept failing. I'm going to try again when I get home. Couldn't figure out what I was doing and forgot what that Status 7 meant. All I remembered was that it wasn't good. I got it back to stock, no extra steps to get data and calls, but still no messages. No matter what app, apn, etc.
Edit: I've installed your Wicked Rom and it's beautiful!!!! Fresh, clean, and quick! There's one issue for me.........and I'm sure it's not your Rom, but I still can't send any SMS/MMS's. This is frustrating beyond almost any issue I have ever had with a phone.

Once again I was explaining the difference but yes there are certainly times where other varients Roms will work on different phones but has nothing to do with unlocked sims.. Just have to be careful and confirm it's ok first.. Sometimes need a custom kernel.. Usually phones that are really similar will work.. ie I'm on Canadian note4 but it's the Tmobile Roms that work (with kernel) or my old S3 it was AT&T Roms.. So may variables but nothing to do with unlocked or not

Thanks for the clarification. Let me ask you, could a kernel cause problems like this?
Also, I just saw in another thread that going to 5.1.1 would mess with voice, data, messaging possibly. But if this is what happened, why would this stay an issue after I changed Roms, but especially since I went all the way back to stock??? I know this is something that you may not be familiar with, just reaching and hoping that I can get some help with this issue. I'm banging my head against the wall trying to get text/mms back. !

[Solved]
Hey, I've solved the issue through a few steps. In the Phone Info menu (*#*#4636#*#*) I saw a bunch of things that I really didn't recognize. I Googled each one and eventually came to SMSC. When I hit update, I kept getting an error. When I hit refresh, it gave me "4", 129. After googling it and really updating it, I got my messaging back. I don't know, but it seems like going up to 5.1.1 really messed with some things for my phone. Thanks for your help everyone. I really appreciate it and I hope this may help out others who come across this same issue.

[Q] Data Drops During Calls. Please Help.

Hello guys. I have the n900t, I am now running tweaked s5 base n4 style v6.0. And I run alot of n9005 ROMS as well. With that said here is my issue. For only the past few weeks ( month tops) every time i make or recieve a phone call my data drips down to hspa. The second i hit call and right before my phone rings is when it happens. After my call the data takes a very long time to jump back up. This is a new issue and i have no idea what it is. However, i did flash back to a stock ROM and the issue was solved. And i forget which rom it was but it was soley TE based and there were no issues. I did try to flash a modem but it didnt take. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Or can anyone suggest a fix for it.
Thank you for your help.
bump.
Still having the issue. I tried to flash a new modem and it just failed anyway. Dont know if I should try a radio. I just cant fivure out why this happened out of no where. I was fine no matter what ROM I was running. Now...this crap. Please guys, 40 people saw this, can SOMEBODY please help.

1) Quite strange - your picture suggests you are on Verizon yet you comment about a N900T in the forum for the INTERNATIONAL Note 3. On what network are you? Are you aware that there might be network-specific factors involved which could only be visible for other users on exactly the same network in exactly the same region?
2) Try stock ROM (with corresponding stock modem) from a location with very good signal.
5 he physical device is an n900t, however, I am running as of now, the hyper drive note 5 port with n4 UI. When I do flash back to a full stock TW ROM all is good, A FEW TW based ROMs seem to be OK. Like this one, the calls do not affect the data signal. But most ROMs do effect it in that way. You said that it shows I'm running Verizon?
But I am very curious why all of the sudden I am having this issue. I have never had it before. Except with a few specific AOSP based ROMs. I just can't figure out what it is that's causing it. I have done vigorous wipes of the phone to no avail.
And I am in Philadelphia so there really is no place that is actually bad reception (except in the susubways of course...lol)
And thank you for your reply.

1) Your avatar mentions Verizon for some reason.
2) If it is all OK with the stock ROM then it is a problem with the custom ROM, ask in the specific thread for that specific ROM. Most likely it has something to do with the modem and the corresponding RIL.
So when ever a new ROM is flashed the modem is flashed as well. Unless the dev says otherwise?

re flash help need
long story short tried to root my at&t varient s7 edge and ended up breaking my phone and there are tons of random little things wrong with my firmware and every time i try to reflash it, it fails and i have the right firmware files it wont flash thow can someone pls help me
I'm not too sure where to start. The S7 Edge on rogers is my first android phone(minus the note 7), and it's been a long time since I've tinkered with anything but a default OS. Last time I was installing custom roms it was on a HTC TYTN. I know I have a lot to learn before I attempt anything, but I'm having a tough time finding the information. Is there a "safe" as in wont damage the phone way to root? Is there a way to put it back to stock if i need to have warranty work done? If both of those criteria can be met I think I'm interested in doing some reading on the root process. I'm just not sure where to start. The main reason i want to root is for ad blocking, but I'm sure as I read up on the topic i'll find other things i'm interested in.
Thanks for your help.
I'm getting a G935FD (S7 Edge, Exynos, dual SIM Asian version) here in Europe, mostly due to a huge price difference. Heard the updates are coming out slow for these models, so can anyone confirm that a ROM from any S7 Edge can be flashed with no issues?
I'm thinking of Samsung ROMs only, so no Knox-tripping and updates still working.
Backup
Hi, I would like to try several ROMs, but I hate having to set up the phone again and again. i use Titanium for the apps, which is great, but it still takes a lot of time to go through all the settings and the setup of the edge screens.
Can those be backed up and restored in any way, too? Especially the edge panel settings would be a big help.
Why do I have 3 x Phone apps under System Application's- shouldnt it appear once? confused.
S7 Bricked
I recently (successfully?) rooted my phone, but couldn't make phone calls or texts so I tried factory resetting it. The factory reset worked but I still had the root and I couldnt make calls or texts, so I tried multiple times to unroot it through Odin and it said it worked on my last attempt, but now my phone is stuck on a black screen and a blue LED pops up. I get no vibrations or feedback from my phone. I've tried all the combos to reset, down home power, down power, power home up, home power, all of them. My only hope is to let the phone die of power and recharge it and see if it will work. Does anyone have any ideas? When I plug it in to my computer it wont detect it either.

Did you try flashing official firmware onto your device thru Odin to get rid of root? Oh wait, computer won't detect your device....I guess that won't work. Do u have snapdragon or exynos s7 edge?
I have an international s7 edge g935f rooted. After root I noticed that Google play movies won't load any movies. If I go to netflix, the movies work. I saw a post about removing a file in system/vendor/lib but I think it was for earlier phones and earlier software. I can't find that same file on the s7 edge. So I was just wondering if anyone had or has a fix for this because I have been searching for a few days now and can't find any other threads on this issue. Thanks in advance

Problem solved, unrooted. That was the problem, thanks for nothing!
I have this problem on my S7 edge after I did the auto-root, my recovery resets everytime and I can't make system changes I think this is because of the Samsung write protection is there any way to disable this write protection I tried mounting inside TWRP and also mounting with Root Browser but nothing happend
if i factory reset my rooted phone through twrp, does it remain rooted?
in case i mess something up super badly (which i will), will factory reset through twrp maintain my root?
Hi,
Does anyone know how to find out the region\country from the firmware info? I have a dual sim version purchased from ebay UK and wanted to know where is the phone from.
If I flash a different region FM via Odin would it trigger knox?
Thx

Can someone help me out. I flashed Nougat on a clean s7e using the Home CSC from my country (not the included CSC which was BTU). Now my original CSC is missing when I checked Phone Info, I performed a factory reset and used Smart Switch Emergency to flash the original firmware but its still blank. How would I go back?
Its a s7e unlocked TPA Pamama
thank you
Question regarding root & warranty:
If I root, I lose warranty. But does this mean that they will also refuse any hardware repairs? Like for example, if my display has problems or my home button doesn't work anymore (i.e. hardware problems not related to software/root).
Is someone gets random reboots?
After 1 month of use I had one. Phone been in standby on desk...

Can i still recieve OTA updates even KNOX tripped? I flashed the wrong file during the process of rooting it but then flashed Nougat beta stock to unroot to it. Thanks!

Help with MotoX Pure on Verizon. Only has cellular data, no voice/sms.

I purchased a used Moto X Pure Edition on Swappa. The phone was rooted, but the seller flashed it back to stock (as far as he told me). I was hoping that I could eventually get the OTA for nougat when it came out, so he assured me that the phone was in "stock" condition.
When I received it, I went to a verizon corp store and got a new sim and they activated the phone on my account. I see 4G LTE and data works great, but when attempting voice calls it says "no cellular network available". SMS messages don't send. I called verizon tech support and we changed some settings around, but it never worked. Guys at the corp store had no clue. The sim works fine in my old verizon galaxy SIII.
Someone on a reddit thread suggested that I check the firmware. It currently reports as: 24.12.18.clark_retus.retus.en.US.retus Does anyone know if this is correct? Is there anything I can do to get this working, or once it's rooted is it really impossible to get it back to stock, or has the seller somehow screwed it up during flashing?
Thanks!
UPDATE: It seems to be fixed after re-flashing the factory image from motorola. I used MPH24.49-18_18 from this page: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images#
I'm on VZN - was rooted running CM13 then Slim Rom then went back to stock (PITA) So it can be done ( my firmware : 24.221.4clark_retus.retus.en.US retus) but why would you want to go stock? I only did thinking we were getting Android N soon but that doesn't seem to be happening. Root the phone and throw a custom Rom on it. You will be happier. Have you checked the network type? and the APN?

I've switched the network type (global and then LTE/CDMA). The APN that is default selected is Verizon Internet. But, I've tried all the other APNs as well.
I'm worried at this point that I'll never get it to work with voice, whether it is rooted and rom'd or not.
Try Flashing to CM 13 or Slim6 both worked for me.. Please dont hate me for asking.. you sure you have the sim in the right way? I know this try is tricky

Not hating. I'll take any help I can get. Yes, I'm certain I put the sim in correctly. Cellular data works, and the phone shows as being on the Verizon network, just not voice enabled.
I'd rather not root and flash at this point, as I'm likely going to return it as non-working. Unless someone has any other ideas?
Well, I guess I fixed it. I reflashed the factory image from this page: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images# and the sim is reporting voice and data, and calls and sms are working. I'm not sure what image the guy that sold it to me flashed, but it was obviously wrong or he didn't do it right. Thanks for the help!

[Guide] Cricket - Get Marshmallow! (6.0.1) - HTC 626s

Unfortunately, Cricket has apparently decided that our phone isn't worth an update. However, with a little knowledge, you can get it up and working in no time.
Thanks to @nightbreed813 for the original debloated MM ROM. Thanks also to @noaone for his tips. Without them, I'd still be on Lollipop.

I've had this ROM installed through this method for months, and not had any camera issues.
Think this will work on tmobile? If not i can try it just tell me what i need to save and stuff if it dont work.

**Bump**
Hi, thank you for providing the instuctions. I flashed the rom to my 626. Unfortunately I'm not able to connect to LTE on GSM band. I guess this is because it is a Sprint Rom that's designed for CDMA network technology ?

I see no reason why it shouldn't; Cricket is on AT&T's network. Still, make a TWRP backup just in case it doesn't work out, for whatever reason.

No, as long as you have a 626s on Cricket, it should work. (Besides, I think Cricket is running on CDMA anyhow, though I might be mistaken.)

It's actually a 625 from Cricket that I'm using but it's considered to be the same as the 626. Cricket is using ATT's GSM network. I really hope I can enable LTE connectivity.

Well, that's probably what your problem is. After following the instruction outlined in the post (on my HTC Desire 626s), I've not encountered this. If everything else is the same beyond that, it's the only option.
PLEASE check that you've followed the instructions perfectly, especially steps 4 &8.
If you're 100% sure that you have, it may just be that the 625 on Cricket is somehow incompatible here.
At any rate, I can only help with what I have, and I have a 626s. If the exact same methods that work with my 626s aren't working on your 625, I can't do too much. Sorry...
If I can help anyway otherwise, let me know.

I used a Cricket 625 with the 626 ROM. Worked fine with the AT&T (StraightTalk) SIM.
A word of caution: this phone has very little room for much of anything. The stock ROM completely fills up the phone after all of the updates download (under Lollipop). This ROM gives you a bit of extra room, but not much.
I'm very happy with my no-ad Moto G5+ from Amazon. At $219, it's an incredible value. The bootloader is unlockable, and it's fairly "current" with nougat on the phone. Oreo is already in the pipe, and you can always switch to more custom ROMs after the Oreo updates quit coming.
With all of security issues plaguing phone users, old phones that can't keep reasonably current need to gracefully fade away.

Exactly the reason why I would like to run Android 6 on this phone so I can use adoptive storage
I also have trouble opening the APN settings after flashing this rom. Most of the times the phone shows me this "Select your carrier" screen. When I select my carrier (Telfort), internet works but after a reboot I have to choose my APN again. Anyone knows how to get rid of these preset apn settings ? (I tried these instructions for editing the build.prop to get full access to the APN settings. All suggestions are welcome, thank in advance !
I think I used a ROM called "AdvancedStock626_V5.zip". It's a bare-bones ROM, and I was able to manually set the APN.
You have unlocked your phone, right?

Yes, the phone 's bootloader is unlocked. I assume you mean this rom:
Is that Lollipop or Marshmallow ?

Whoops! I was wrong on which I flashed. My apologies....
I couldn't get the Advanced stock to "recover" with TWRP. Instead, I installed the debloated Sprint_Stock_MMDB from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/de...-flashable-stock-htc-626s-debloated-t3293602/
I had LTE, or at least I thought I did. Everything seemed to work with my StraightTalk (AT&T) SIM.
Maybe this Sprint Rom doesn't support European LTE frequencie, I bought this 625 phone from Cricket last year when I was in the States. I see that I'm 3.5G now which is fine by me. One thing that concerns me is that the data roaming icon is greyed out. I'm flying to another EU country next week, does this mean I don't have internet abroad? I modified ro.com.android.dataroaming=false in build.prop into true, still can't select data roaming. Anyone know how to fix this ? Appreciate all the help!

Delayed Texts and Unknown Carrier with Custom ROMs (7.1.2 / 8.1) on Verizon S5-G900V

So I have posted before without any replies and am still seeking help...
I know there are others out there in the same situation as me:
On an Unlocked VZW bootloader
On Verizon Wireless 4G LTE in the US
Trying to run a Custom ROM on their phone
But for some reason, I seem to be the only one who has a random delayed texts (both SMS and MMS) issue (by 1-15 minutes) on these forums. Sometimes on Custom ROMs the texts come in normally but other times there is a long delay and it makes having a conversation with people very difficult and irritating. There is NO text delay on rooted (Magisk) QL1, the latest Samsung stock TW S5 6.0.1 ROM, and I have gone back to it since I have no more ideas left to try.
What I have tried:
AEX 5.8 (Oreo 8.1), Havoc OS (8.1), Lineage 15.1 (Latest 8.1), crDroid 3.8.5 (7.1.2), MoKee (7.1.2), AOKP (7.1.2)
Changing APN settings to include the MMSC http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms and leave blank which is the default on Custom/Stock ROMs
Changing APN settings to match the stock VZW settings exactly
Flashed new VZW APN files from an ltefix.zip file I found on XDA
Changing CDMA to be Home and not just Automatic
Changing from Global to CDMA/LTE+EVDO
Went to the Verizon store and got a new SIM card
Booted up without SIM and powered off; then inserted SIM and booted up again
Tried different Modem/Non-HLOS versions like QC2 and QL1
Went into the secret *#*#4636#*#* Phone menu to see what differences exist between stock and Custom ROM settings
Added some lines from the stock VZW Build Prop to Custom ROM Build Prop
Removing HD Voice/VoLTE from my Verizon account
Avoided installing any apps after flashing a Custom ROM to see if the problem remained
Nothing worked! Still get Delayed Texts trying everything I could think of, except when on the stock VZW ROM. Custom ROMs may boot up showing my carrier as Verizon Wireless, but then after some random amount of time will show the Carrier as either "Unknown" (7.1.2) or "Roaming Indicator Off" (8.1). It is usually at that time when the Delayed Texts issue arises once the phone loses its lock on Verizon.
This makes me think it is a Verizon Band issue where for some reason not enough Bands are available for my phone to use on these Non-Verizon Custom ROMs. Or it could have something to do with VoLTE being active on my account at one point (I turned it off on My Verizon to try to combat this problem). Or maybe something to do with how we all unlocked the bootloader in the same way.
But what I don't understand is why I am the only person with this issue since I am pretty sure there are a lot of people on Verizon with CID 15 on Custom ROMs who don't seem to be mentioning this problem!
Any thoughts on how to fix it? Could it be a matter of augmenting the Bands my phone has access to on the Custom ROMs?
Thank you very much!

When you are on stock you are seeing the verizon lte correct? It not showing unkown?
I have a CID 15 I can try and see if that one is having an issues. it has an older lineage rom on it but it should still work for a test.

Yes, stock shows Verizon as the Network in Settings/About Phone/Status and Verizon Wireless as Carrier and LTE as Type in the secret phone settings page I get to through the app Advanced Signal Status.
Appreciate your assistance in testing Lineage on your CID 15. Since no one else seems to be complaining I have a feeling it will show as Verizon as you'd expect. Feels very lonely on my island lol, but at least rooted stock with Xposed is livable for now.

Thanks for trying! Assume you waited a while with the S5 in Lineage before responding because mine will start as Verizon but then after 1-30 minutes will switch over to Unknown.
Yeah I recently came across the same post in my research on this. Seems like most of the people who used that guide weren't able to do anything with their modem like call or had missing SIM card messages. I have always had the ability to call except when I debloated the stock ROM too much lol! I am hesitant to start deleting modem files and find myself in worse trouble than I am in now when stock works perfectly (aside from the lagginess).
Besides this issue with Lineage Oreo, I also found AOSP Extended Oreo to be a huge battery hog because my phone ran HOT (but maybe it's related to my main modem? issue). On stock, I almost never find the thing getting warm, it's just not as smooth as Oreo is. I am going to let S5 Oreo mature further and improve on the battery performance before going back to it I think and just stay on working stock for now. If I had concrete evidence that my daily driver could be fixed without any risk, I might consider following instructions.
Appreciate your assistance regardless since no one else has really made any suggestions!
Thank you!

I tried this one once when my old sprint S5 didn't have 4G. I ended up with no network at all, I had to do a forget network and reboot to get everything back. I never got that phone fixed I know there is another forum about that issue as well:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/help/galaxy-s5-galaxy-note-3-sprint-help-t3698708
Most people were able to get it fixed by replacing the SIM, but since you did that I didn't mention this post.
UPDATE:
Forgot to ask, have you tried a different messenger? I know it wont fix you unknown errors but I thought I'd ask. Also, when you did the modem update, was it this update: https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/modem-modems-t3154630

Thanks for the quick reply!
You tried the deleting the modems fix or the link in your prior post for your Spring S5? And what is a "forget network" fix -- just resetting all network settings in Android?
Yeah I was really hoping the replacement SIM would fix it but sadly it was a dead end.
I have tried several messengers like the stock Lineage one, Google Messenger, and landed on Textra because it has the most configuration options.
Yeah I tried Odining modems from both the link you referenced and extracting them myself from the firmware. Not sure if this is essentially the same thing as overwriting the modems in the corrupted TWRP modem guide. I am tempted to try this over the weekend after making an EFS backup. Hard for me to believe that deleting modemst1 partitions and not restoring them afterwards as is what seems to be the fix... Does the system automatically rebuild them or something?

So I decided to bite the bullet and run the dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1 and 2 in TWRP terminal and got the "No space left on device" in the output (tried over ADB with the same result). Supposedly this isn't necessarily a bad thing as evidenced https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68532486&postcount=115. Had no problems on stock after doing this (but had no problems on stock prior either).
Then I switched back to AOSP Extended 5.8 (Oreo) and sadly I got the Roaming Indicator Off right away. I tried zeroing out the modemst's again with the same No Space result and back in Oreo got the same delayed texts and Roaming Indicator Off after a few minutes. Dead end, but at least I tried I guess. I am back on stock and my only other thought is to unlock some LTE bands but that may be too technical for me to bother with. Stock works with the current bands so I wonder why I should have to do that on Lineaage.

This bug has been around for awhile and affects all S5s differently and at different times. There are still S5s that work great, who knows if they will ever gets this bug. You may want go to the Lineage post on XDA to see if they maybe able to help you. Maybe something has changed since I gave up on my S5. Good Luck!

My Verizon S5 (this is the working phone) is a CID 15 (I don't have the phone with me right now to get the CID ID), I can look around for the setup I used. It was some months ago when I ran the bootloader unlock and root. BUT! the phone I had an issue with the LTE was a sprint S5 that was unlocked for years before they started locking the bootloaders. This bug affects all carriers, but mostly sprint and verizon.

But perhaps we all are using the same CID and then I can cross that theory off my long list haha. When you get a chance, can you please check the CID of the Verizon S5 you have?

The CID doesn't change, its just the Chip ID of the phone. You either have the CID 11, which you wouldn't be able to unlock the boot loader let alone put lineage on it. Then there's the CID 15 which does let you unlock the boot loader. I never used the CID checker I ended up finding out if I had a 15 by going to this forum: https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/help/to-id-cid-15-loading-app-t3756413
Now, with that being said, could there be some sort of correlation between a CID 15 with a specific version number and the bug? Its possible, I could have a different CID 15 version than you and that one may not be affected. Who knows

Pretty sure this whole unlocking the bootloader on CID 15 requires that you change your CID to match the Developer CID. I know that my current CID is referenced in the thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...locking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909/page39 back when this was all just coming out (and when I first unlocked it using the old method 4 - https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...t/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909). I used to have a different CID that's saved somewhere else.
Any chance you can look your CID to see if it matches 1501004d414732474300bd6d97165100?
Thanks!
