Verizon, flashed rom, lost service?

I just flashed my phone to OMJ's custom Verizon, now I have lost all service. Any advise on what settings I am missing?
Or is this a call into Verizon to do something? If so what do I say?
Thanks,
Scott

well hopefully when you updated the radio with a different rom you didn't let the customizations run.
if you did everything correctly you may just need to activate a different phone on your plan, get all your services working on that phone, then reactivate your xv6900, do the *228, remove battery thing and hopefully that'll work for you

No did not let the customizations run. It all went smooth. I did find this message....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416908&highlight=verizon
So I am calling Verizon....
Is there a way to not have to call Verizon? Will this happen with EVERY flashed ROM? Or is it only when you unlock with IMcoke's utility?
What a PITA!
Scott

Well, I hope this thread can help others...
I did have to call Verizon to reset. Now the gal who answered did sound cute, but it took 20 minutes of her reading her scripts until she escalated me to 2nd level support.
10 minutes there and they did the A-Key update....
So all is working..
But more importantly, what causes this? Will it happen with every ROM or just the first you flash?

I know I have to call in every time I Master Reset my stock XV6900 so I imagine it's the same issue with a new flash as well. Something about this phone makes them manually update it on their end I guess.

You should only need to do this if you update the Radio. But, I've flashed two radios to date, and only on the first did I need to call VZW. I've flashed quite a few ROMs and had to call maybe twice.

I helped a buddy upgrade his Verizon XV6900 radio to the sprint radio. We ran into all kinds of problems with his phone. No internet, phone searched for thirty minutes and when it got a signal would sometimes randomly shut off. We fixed everything by logging onto the Verizon website and activating one of his old phones. We took the battery out of the touch before hand because two signals equal no good. We activated his old phone for about ten minutes and then reactivated his touch. Everything worked fine afterward. He had a new akey and I believe his dmu keys were reset. Hope this helps, but activating an old phone on the verizon website is a bit of a pain.

Thanks for the info everyone...
Hope this helps someone else out.

um.... what if I did let the customization run? after I used the Sprint Radio Upgrade. Does the phone now think it's a Sprint phone? It won't even let me do the *228 anymore. Someone mentioned having success using a radiorefurbish.exe? does that make sense?
Thanks!

I'm no pro, but re-flash, and make sure to soft reset before the customizations. Not a big deal.

I have the same problem with internet. I too accidentally let the first flash run customization. I then re flashed the phone with a bunch of different roms and still cant get internet working, nor *228. I can still make phone calls just no internet. Can someone recommend with a link a good rom for verizons xv6900 that would solve this problem?

You left some important details like,
The ROM & what exactly the error is.

Well the first rom was the oem sprint rom. I did this mostly for the gps function. The error is when i try to use data it says its dialing #777 then after about a min or 2 its says it could not connect. Ive tried entering my username and pass as someone suggested, but i actually never had one there before so I didn't see how that was going to help. Needless to say it didnt. I also have a problem when i try to use *228 to update my phone. It says it failed. Im mostly concerned with internet atm. By the way i really appreciate your fast reply!
I also ran the verizon carrier cab as was recommended in some posts but no dice there either.

First, if you haven't done it yet, enter the username and password. After you flash a new ROM, the fields are blank, but the internet will work, but at some point, it will start to fail becuase of it being blank.
If that doesn't solve it, I suggest flashing a new Radio and ROM, I personally suggest using one from OMJ. I'm currently using his 3.09 Clean ROM, and it runs smooth. And after using the aGPS hack, something you can do after you resolve this, I get a faster GPS lock inside my home or office, than someone with an in-car model.

which radio do you suggest Ive tried 3.42.30 and 3.42.50 both give me same problame. Im flashing omj's 3.03.01 clean as I type this.

I'm using 3.42.50 right now, and so far it works great.

ok so then I have both radio and rom installed and still no data. any further suggestion? Is there anyway of restoring verizon data setting to original defaults? I think the sprint rom must have changed something specific to the data settings. Ive tried everything to revert them back with no luck

What's the link to the ROM that you originally flashed and run the cusomizations.

TP2 - No Network when 3G Enabled :(

Hi Guys,
not sure what do do, ive tried updating Rom (currently running latest Energy Rom) although had this problem before updating to the latest, previous was a few months old.
Also updated/changed the Radio version - still nothing.
basicaly - whenever i enable 3G - my phone drops the network connection, whereas for the last 18months not had a single problem - nothing has changed as far as im aware..
Anyone had this or got any suggestions on what to do ?
VODAFONE.
my problem happens all the timel; ie i cant get a 3G connection, when i select to enabke 3G it just drops network totaly, cant make calls, text etc etc.

I actually just starting to have the same problem... Are you on Vodafone in the UK? My problems started yesterday evening...

I've been hearing a lot about this lately. I think it has something to do with Vodafone and Orange combining network coverage. Try the following to see if it works. Make sure to back up your stuff first.
task29
Flash Stock ROM/Radio (they should come bundled together)
task29
flash custom ROM
boot and then hard reset.
See if this fixes the problem.

Yeah Vodafone UK! - My problems started Saturday Evening, between Sat Evening and Sunday afternoon (after i'd flashed and changed the 3G setting) - i then got a signal...
Ive tried enabling the 3G Since, and it just drops out!
Might try FLashing the Stock Rom - any idea where i can get a standard rom/radio ?

Did all that, used the _HTC Touch Pro2_RUU_Rhodium_S2_HTC_Europe_2.07.401.1_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.91" ROM from HTC site, then reflashed with "Energy.RHODIUM.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Nov.19" but I still have the same issue
Vodafone and Orange? I through it was Orange and T-mobile that were merging? Every time I turn my phone back on or come out of flight mode my clock move forward 1 or 2 hours... If I don't change the time, the coverage work but if I set it back to the normal time, the coverage stick only on GMS mode... weird and weirder...

I did, but except from the shock of saying such a poor interface the problem were the same... I got the "HTC Touch Pro2_RUU_Rhodium_S2_HTC_Europe_2.07.401.1_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.91" ROM from http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=250&cat=2&dl_id=913 my own S/N didn't work so I got "ht95tll00196" from the web. Didn't make it any better though...

Stock ROMs come with the stock radios. No need to flash a radio separately.

I haven't heard anything about T-Mobile. Vodafone and Orange aren't merging. They're sharing use of their cell network. Meaning customers of both companies are going to get increased coverage throughout the country. I've been seeing lots of posts about how this is affecting users negatively on the networks, though.

definitely Orange and Tmobile sharing coverage in the UK, I haven't heard about Vodafone:

your link didn't have the Vodafone stock ROM, on the HTC website it would be http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=250&cat=2&dl_id=797 but it's the 1.86.161.1, seriously old...
another day and my data connection doesn't even turn on anymore... No more disconnect from the network tough, just greyed out E connection...

You are correct. I had it backward. It was T-Mobile that teamed up. I didn't check the link I gave as it normally has each ROM for each carrier, so I generally just link it by default. The 1.8.6.161.1 is the latest ROM from Vodafone. You don't need to keep it on the device, you just need to have it return everything to stock conditions and move on from there. It's like working on a fresh, clean slate.
Man, I'm off my game today...

[Q] Data issue

So I have, I think, a pretty unique issue. Was hoping maybe someone else has had it, or has any ideas.
First of all, my G2 is perm-rooted and currently is running the Virtuous Sense ROM. My data is slow/non-existent. I can see it change from 3G to H depending on where I am, and there is full bars, but the down arrow rarely lights up. The up arrow, however is always blinking or lit up. If I am trying to load a page it just sits there blank for a minute or so, then randomly the down arrow will light up and it will load real quick. But there is no consistency, the down arrow comes and goes....
I have this same problem running CM7, VillainROMz with Sense and Now this Virtuous ROM. I am thinking since it is following me that it is not ROM specific. I have tinkered with a few different APNs, to no avail either.
Somebody please tell me I am not SOL with a bad radio chip or something.

Can you go to settings->about phone->baseband version and tell me what it says? You might need to flash an updated radio. You can find them here.
If that doesn't work, try going to your dialer, and dial *#*#4636#*#*, go to phone information, and set network type to "wcdma preffered".
If none of those do anything, you can always try the general clearing your cache in recovery and running a fix_permissions in terminal.
The last thing I could think of would be if you didn't pay your bill then your provider might have cut your service, or maybe experiencing an outage in your area.

Baseband version is 12.28b.60.140eP_26.03.02.26_M.
I will try the other suggestions and report back, I really appreciate the help.

the wcdma setting is already as suggested, and wipe of everything was done when I first noticed the problem. As far as the new radio, I will need to do a little more studying. Is there and easier way then what is in that guide you sent me the link too? I have never used adb. Wish it was easy like flashing a kernel through cwm.

This is embarassing.... I had an HD7 for two whole days to try out WP7. Some sucker wanted an HD7 and happened to have a G2 so I traded him.
Tmo still thought I had the HD7. As soon as I updated my phone on their website and rebooted the problem went completely away.

[Q] htc desire won't connect to a network

Hi,
Two days back my htc desire suddenly lost connection to the mobile network. I now get a small cross on top of the signal bars and "no service" written on the notification bar. Sometimes this changes to "sos".
The wifi is working fine. t
The only problem is voice and data over the mobile network.
I tried a lot of things:
reboot
flashed a new radio
complete wipe/ factory reset
flashed a new rom
But to no avail.
A strange thing did occur though, at a mall, my phone suddenly started working for a few minutes and then went back to the same state as before. This same thing happened last night too.
I am unable to understand this and request all of you to help.
current status:
Phone: htc desire amoled
s-on
bb: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
miui 17.15

Ring your provider.

How to solve this? I tried flashing to CM7 and its fine.
So I assume the problem would be the ROM
Any solution to this? Patches or something?
I would love to continue on using MIUI
Thanks all
Regarding the above problem.. had the same thing... what i did is this..
on dial pad use *#*#4636#*#*
then goto phone information (first one)
scroll down you'll see "set preferred network type"
mine was selected "WCDMA" I changed that to "GSM Only"
Since then no problem of S.O.S has come to me
I am sending it here because I am unable to post in the forum... something to do with minimum of 10 Post.. Hope this helps

Guys thanks for your replies.
I have already done the *#*#4636#*#* bit and it hasn't helped.
Regarding the rom, I was originally on cyanogenmod 7 when this problem started. I re-flashed CM7. Didn't help. Then i flashed miui. the problem remains.
Although I would like to add that over the past two days, at two different locations, I have been able to make one call and recieve one. How this happens, I don't know.
Still trying to figure it out but I just read elsewhere on this forum an exactly similar problem being faced by a few people during the last few days.... so keeping my fingers crossed.
Ah! and one more thing, I have tried sim cards of almost all operators and none work in this phone.

Same problem here aswell,
me too tried every thing,
but non of them helpfull..
Still searching for help

This may seem like a dumb question, but the people experiencing this problem, are you in the same country/region?

A little update in my situation:
I visited another city for an hour yesterday and the phone latched onto vodafone in seconds and worked like a charm but as soon as i got back to base, it was back to its dead state.
This is a really confusing situation because, one moment it seems like its a hardware problem (since none of the operator's sims tend to work in it while in delhi) and then sometimes it seems to be a network problem (as it seems to work just fine in some areas)
Guys, please.... please help. This is so frustrating.

guys i'm still waiting for a reply.... doesn't anyone here have a solution to my problem?

Install cm7, then full wipe and then install freshly your new rom.
I did that way and after that was network connection back.
Sry my bad english!
Sent My Desire.

i understand your frustration, im here just to tell u, i have a different situation which no one has any solution, ive googled and spent 1 whole F()[email protected]((U)#($I)(#U$)(U#)($U day but no one reported the same issue as me..

Hey this worked but only partially. Now the phone does latch on to network at most places except two: my workplace and home.
And in some places it shows full signal strength but calling is not possible.

[Q]Please Serious tech help! cellular data radio unresponsive

Look i normally dont ask for to much help ive been around a bit know more then the average bear. I also fix hardware.
My problem is my data radio will not switch on from any attempt:
Attempted solutions:
Dialed
*#*#4636#*#*
Will not switch on from that screen
Did the obvious and switched on and off airplane mode
Replaced the entire build.prop file with a very stock build.prop after flashing stock jelly bean
Repeated steps for all stock firmware
Newest attempt wiped the entire system partition through recovery forcefully bricking the phone. I have now flashed the original stock e980 stock 10p tot file still no luck
My phone is completely unlocked fully rooted.
I've replaced the data permission files.
And I know its not the SIM card because the SIM card is in the phone I'm using right now which is an LG g2 unlocked which is for sale by the way.
And if it is a hardware problem I have not found any related video or thread to help me find an exchange where the radio is on this thing
Help me please if anybody has any idea?

Cool no help, hey moderator can u move this to thread that may get more help that would be awesome

i came looking around here because my g pros radio stopped working sometime last night while i was asleep and was about to make a thread asking for help, but seeing as how you haven't got much i doubt i would either. but ill give you a little info on mine, will it help you out at all? not sure. but i know it might make me feel a little better.
I flashed Vanir 4.4.4 last week coming from Beanstalk 4.4.4 cause beanstalk was getting buggy from all the ugly mods i subjected it to. so all was well with Vanir till i woke up this morning and had no service, no calls, no network, AND even if i connected to a wifi network it seemed that i couldn't get any data from it. I tried flashing madmacks modem cause who knows, maybe thatll help, but it diddnt. So then i flashed a different kernel and changed TCP protocols cause who ****ing knows, but it did nothing. THEN i restored my older Beanstalk 4.4.4 backup sure that it would work flawlessly but guess what, same problem. Now that im back on Beanstalk i went to the "Network Operators" option under "Mobile network settings" and selected ATT, which is my service provider, i can now make calls and texts but still no data, when i did this on Vanir it did not help. So i started messing with my "preferred network type" and realized i have data on 2G, but not 3G or LTE. Im gonna take a wild guess and say that maybe if you flash your phone back to 100% stock your radio should start working again, as much as i dont want to, i might end up doing that as well.
tl:dr
similar problem, i dont really know ****, easiest option = go back to stock, hope it works.

@Fant0m3 @alb-o
Have you guys checked if your rom shows your imei?
I have had this problem twice. My IMEI disappeared and I don't know how.
Your symptoms match.
If that's the case you could take it to a repair shop and they'll fix it in a minute or two. Or, you can check around xda.

thats a good point, when i was looking around XDA earlier i saw a few mentions of it but diddnt see anything very specific and was late for class so diddnt have time to look for too long. strangely enough mine actually started working normally again after i kept switching from 2G to 3G to LTE, which is great. but if i would've known that info earlier i could have checked if my IMEI disappeared while my radio still wasn't working, i assume it probably did.
after searching around more i found this thread that talks about it and how to prevent it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857054
thanks for the help g0at1, hopefully this helps out the OP if he hasn't already fixed the problem, or anyone else that comes across this.

nope
I've flashed back stock numerous times even flashed other versions such as e988 and back again if u dint know how to do that just change your build number in your build prop file...I've tried everything I am downt to antenna cable SIM reader or cell radio.. If radio I might as well just give up cause I can't find one for sell anywhere...I'm not so pressed as I'm using the LG g2 and it's so fast stable and a bit slimmer I think I'm gonna keep it but I would like to fix it and sell it though...... My symptoms are mentioned and all tried fixes are there. Imei is read carrier is not WiFi is received but there is an X above the data bars phone is fully unlocked as well

This may help also but it does not read my imei when the SIM is not in hmm maybe I will rework the imei code and get back if that works. I will keep updated when fixed and with solution
