Cannot receive SMS from AT&T after root

Hello all!
I've had this issue since I rooted my phone (with NAND unlock using Toast's method) back in the beginning of June. I noticed this issue IMMEDIATELY after rooting since my girlfriend is on AT&T. Recipients on AT&T can receive my SMS just fine, but I cannot receive theirs (I have tested multiple phones on their network)! Other carriers seem to work just fine as I have tested most of the popular ones although haven't tried T-mobile, could it be a "my phone versus GSM" issue?
I have wiped and factory reset my phone numerous times, used multiple roms including the rooted stock 1.32-1.47, OMJ's 1.4-1.7, and currently am on Baked Snack 9.6. Out of an act of desperation, I accepted the 1.47 OTA update before root with no avail. After all of this I have noticed one thing staying the same... The PRI Version 1.34. I know there is no current way to update this back to the stock 1.40, and too be honest am not really sure if this could even be the underlying cause of this issue because what does roaming have to do with receiving SMS on my home network? I've had multiple people tell me that they have had no such issues, and searching the boards shows me that this is definitely an isolated issue.
If anyone has any advice, information, or even has this issue as well please let me know! Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Call Sprint, sounds like a network issue, not a phone one.

Well, after several phone calls and tickets later, I have now found out that the AT&T messages aren't even hitting Sprint's gateway (the front door of data). It's odd because the tech rep is able to see my messages out, but not able to see the ones sent back. This leads me to believe that it is in fact a network issue, and has absolutely nothing to do with my phone. He clarified that even if my phone was broken he would still be able to see the messages at the gateway, but they aren't even getting there. There is nothing more that Sprint can do because they can't reference something that doesn't show in their systems; so I'm being forced to call AT&T... I have already gotten the run around from both sides stating, "well it's definitely an issue on their network".
I'm not really sure what else to do, it just seems so strange that the very same day I rooted my phone, I stopped being able to receive their messages. The only thing left for me to do is try and get a replacement phone? and if I do that, do I root my phone again and risk being burdened by this issue again? I know one thing's for sure, after having a rooted phone for almost a month and a half, there's no way I'm staying stock!

Getting a new phone won't help you, it's definitely AT&T's network, or whoever owns the bandwidth connecting their (AT&T's and Sprint's) networks. Simple as that.

Thank you drmacinyasha on your quick replies!
I'm hoping to get my girlfriend's account information soon so AT&T will actually help me; I'm just worried that they will say the same thing Sprint has told me. I know it's as "simple as that" to state where the problem obviously lies, but I'm not sure how simple it will be to get a hold of someone who will actually be able to fix it.
My girlfriend is able to send SMS to other people on Sprint just fine, so I'm confused by the fact that this has only happened to my number.

3G Disappears

So my Inc has been acting up lately, I've got 3G when I turn the screen on, but as soon as something tries to use the internet (sync, browser, anything at all), my mobile network instantly drops, and when it reconnects, it goes and reconnects as 1X. I've tried going completely back to stock (the 2.1 rom), and it's doing it even there..... Anyone have any ideas?

wish I knew how to purposely do that since my 3g reception sucks yet yours is doing it on it's own

But I don't want it to. Reception in this area in general does suck, but even the places I ALWAYS get 3g aren't working.....

So I called and spoke to verizon. I have to bring my phone into the store, so they can inspect the damage to it, to see if I qualify for a replacement. If I don't, then I either have to buy a "certified replacement" or suffer with no 3g. They apparently think this is an exceptable situation. I'll be going to get the boost phone with unlimited calls/texts/web before I pay verizon 135 dollars a month to not even get unlimited. The Android phone isn't as good, but **** verizon, no way I'm buying a new phone because this one crapped out.

Can always find a used one online if it comes to that; DINC's aren't too expensive anymore.

When you say you tried going back to stock, do you mean the RUU? I'm pretty sure doing that brings you back to the stock radio, but I would double check that, and also make sure you don't have any apps that might mess with your data connection.

I had this exact problem last year. I ended up having to RUU and return it for a replacement because I was within the 1 year free replacement period. I returned it with S-OFF and got a new one that I've been using ever since.

I'm apparently still in the one year period. And yes, I did the FYI executive and without loading ANYTHING it won't stay on 3g. I'm talking bare phone, no apps, no accounts. It did work slightly better though. I won't be going to Verizon until tomorrow, so I will try a few of the newer radios I guess. I've always been partial to 7.28.

If you go to CM7 you can actually switch to just 3g I'm pretty sure. I know there's an add-on for JuiceDefender that does something about 2g/3g for aosp roms.....

I have the same issue! Went to bed on Thursday working fine, woke up Friday morning and was having this issue! I tried everything but restore the stock. I updated the radio, did a complete wipe and flash virtuous 3.2 rom as well as ##778 and modifying my settings to find a different tower to use. The tower modification seemed to help a bit, but in certain areas!!
Verizon tech said the same thing that I should take it to a store and have them check it. I do have insurance on it, so it won't be bad paying 50 and getting another one. But my concern is that I won't be getting the AMOLED screen. I had my phone pre-ordered and love it. Not even a scratch on it because I had it protected since I got it.
Where do you live?

My problem was actually fixed. I tried the RUU a few times. What fixed it was going into HBoot and doing a factory restore. It made me deactivated my phone after booting up, but my phone has 3g again. I tried updating prl before that with no luck. So try that, see if it helps.

I actually just returned to 7.28, after using the newest Inc Gingerbread Radio, and got stuck on 1X as well. A simple toggling of Airplane mode On and Off fixed it for me.

This happened to me just a few days ago. Mine happened because I did a *228 on my Inc running an Evo rom. I did the RUU fix posted in this forum and it worked.

They deflashed my flashed BoostMobile EVO4G

Ok so I know I did the ultimate no-no with a flashed phone. BoostMobile tech support tried to update my profile. I know I shouldn't have done this. I called both Sprint and BoostMobile tech support for help. My Sprint EVO 4G, flashed to Boost, was being blocked by my boyfriend's Sprint Airave. This is the 2nd EVO4G I have had flashed to boost. The first one (lost forever!) was flashed for over a year, we had the airave then too with no conflict issues. Lost phone. Bought new one (sprint) had it flashed. Now it tries to use the airave.
Differences:: New phone is rooted with Synergy RLS1. Old one was not rooted and had stock ROM on it.
New issues:: CONSTANT notifications about voice mail update. (never had that before). Attempting any kind of call results in error from Airave. I understand WHY! I just want to Stop the BOOST-SPRINT communication and make calls like I did before.
Anyway, I told them the AIRAVE problem, and told them I had custom ROM, ROOT and FLASHED phone they said "No Problem! We know what to do". they screwed the phone up and then accidentally dropped the call. So here I am after days of searching, reading, contemplating, still without phone service. Booting the phone results in loop of ATTEMPTING HANDS FREE ACTIVATION. and many times while on. Under settings, System Updates if I click on update profile it says.....Previous DM session is working now please try again later.
Will I have to go through the whole flash process again? Since I just did this 3-4 weeks ago there isn't much I need to save on the phone. I have all the versions and settings numbers from the phone but just didn't know which ones to post.
Frustrated, Aggravated and Completely out of touch with the world!!!

I would have never gotten to days. After a few hours of no success, I would have just started over

yes I do appreciate the advice. And in moving forward that is the best choice.
Also in moving forward I am hoping that some of the senior members might have comments as to why the almost identical phone was now being blocked by the sprint Airave and getting the constant Sprint notifications of updated voice mail. Surely there is a way to shield the phone from the airave. Other than calling Sprint (no results) or calling Boost ( wrong results) someone has to have figured out a way to stop this.
Any speculations, suggestions, or comments?

What kind of donor phone did you use to flash the Evo?

That I do not know. I have not been able to reach the person who flashed the phone. I will ask that when I reach them. btw I have the original boost phone that was associated with my account before I flashed the first time. That was the donor then, I think. And I was thinking that I should re-register that phone before I flash back again with this 2nd phone. Is that thinking a valid thought?

I found the type of phone. I logged in under my account and it says the current phone is Sanyo SCP-6760 Incognito. I can use the account to change the the phone back to my original handset that I used for years and was the handset I used to fllash to the first EVO I had.

Yeah, I was gonna say, anytime you need to know what donor phone was used to flash your phone..just log into your Boost account and click on "Update Handset" this will tell you exactly what phone is on your account aka used as your donor phone. It will almost always be either the Incognito or Rant. ((But anyone thinking of flashing a phone, should never have this problem because you should always have physical possession of the donor used on your account..there is not one single reason why the person flashing your phone would need to hold on to your donor. Period. So always make sure that you ask for , and receive the donor phone used to activate your Sprint phone)))
That being said...Unfortunately, your phone is going to need reflashed again, and you definitely did not need to activate the previous donor on to your Boost account. You just needed to contact the person who flashed your phone and (hopefully) he still has your donor phone and will be able to pull your passwords (profile info ) out of it again and write it to your Sprint phone. (Like you already seem to be aware of) when your profile was reset, that meant that it did not match what was on your flashed Sprint phone. You'll need to (first activate the donor that was on your account before you just switched it to your previous one) and then update the profile (on that donor) and then put it on your Evo and you'll be good as new...OR just reflash your phone all together with the donor that you just activated on the account.
As far as the Voicemail Update issue...I have noticed this being pushed constantly to the Sprint phones also(including my Evo LTE on Boost) , I honestly don't believe there is a way to stop it. It doesn't really bother me anymore it just sits in the notification tray all the time. I imagine that eventually Sprint will stop pushing it to their phones. If I do ever come up with a fix for it though I will be sure to try and look this thread up or pm you with it. Good luck with getting your Evo back online...and word to the wise..never call Boost for anything if you have a flashed phone on your account...First off they will trouble shoot it as if its the donor phone..Second, their standard protocol is to Update the profile, and/or Factory reset the phone, either of which will interrupt the service on your flashed Sprint phone.

Seems to be working OK. But I have slow data issues on Prl 53000. It does show that I am on Evdo Rev A. I did just get a roaming data notice too. Something about too much roaming data. I'm on the stock LJ7 rom and rooted. Also, when I dial 611, still goes to Sprint. What am I doing wrong here? New rom?

Very nice video.

I have the same setup. With stock and rooted LJ7 ROM and Baseband. When I dial 611, I get Verizon. Phone and texting works fine, but I can't get 3G to work. I tried to replace the 53000 PRL with the 1X one and still the same. I'm getting "No network connection. No signal found for mobile networks".

Hmmm. Sometimes, what fixes it for me is to just reboot the phone.
Otherwise, sounds like something didn't flash over correctly. I always try and make sure that when flashing, I check the log and see that its successful / complete. If not, you'll end up with issues.
One issue I had was my phone number wasn't showing up when going to About Phone Status in Settings. It only showed the last four numbers. Reflashing worked fine for me.
And other thing. Did you follow the instructions about going the web on the gusto 2 first? I had to actually pick a website and try to open it.
Good luck!

You need to call verizon tell them your phone is not receiving text, and no data. Have them to reauthenicate the account and maybe you will get data then...... The problem with flashing to Verizon Prepaid is one wrong move and account gets locked out.........

You didn't write something correctly or missed a step. dial *228 on your phone. It may not let you dial the one or the two so just hang out and it will program your phone for you also then write the 53000 prl. I promise that if you follow the video exactly you will get 3g data unless you live somewhere that doesn't have 3g data.
I also want to touch on vipers comment about getting locked out of service. I'm constantly saying this but I'll say it again. I've been on verizon prepaid myself for over a year now. I'm currently on the 35 dollar plan. I haven't had any problems with them at all. I've also flashed several of my friends phones to VP and they haven't had any problems except for one guy every time he gets drunk the next day I have to rewrite his aaa and ha password (still can't figure that out) but no one has lost their account.
What do I think is happening to these accounts? Nothing I believe these individuals are people/businesses who get paid to flash phones and don't want the secrets out there and this is probably killing there business. People get concerned by problems and start to wonder about that. For instance a few years ago I was working for this small cell phone flashing company and flashing to boost started to kick off. Well we didn't have everything set up like this other company did so when someone came in we had this rumor going on that this guy who had his cell phone since they first came out, lost his number because boost found out and then he went to their shop and threw brick through their window.
Saying somthing like that to a customer we already had wasn't really targeted to him\her. But to any friends of theirs that questioned them about their service believe it or not but people like to talk. Especially about bricks being thrown through windows. I didn't stay long with that company but it's an example.

I was I've through all of your posts (takes about ten minutes) and your xda repoire at first is to just ask a bunch of questions and then you started to sell yourself as a cell phone flasher. Then you found out how to pull aaa keys and refused to tell anyone and blamed it on cdma workshop not being free. You can still show the process and I'm calling you out on that and the fact your trying to scare people into not going to verizon prepaid. You may fool some people but you don't fool me.

Hmm.. I must have misunderstood the *228 thing in the video. But anyways. Now that I did *228 thing, I'm stuck with the roaming indicator. Does that matter? I plan on flashing another rom and hope it changes it. Also, how does doing *228 affect the phone? It was working fine earlier and I even clocked 3G speeds at 2.7mbps.
Thanks

You can call me out all you want, I have done several phones while members watched and seen the keys pulled in. I have not tried in no way to scare people from verizon prepaid. I flash to them myself, but you are dead wrong if you do not think that a account will need to be reathenicated sometimes. I have nothing to prove to you but only offered a suggestion to the guy having issues (now my comment was seen that way by you, I have no idea) . Anyways good luck to you in your venture as I am way above arguing this with you. No one is fooling anyone here but you..... I don't need to sell myself, proof is in the pudding bro.......

I know your gonna read this because curiousity will bring you back to see my rebuttal. It's how life works. I'm not saying that you can't pull the aaa keys what I'm saying is that you refuse to share the knowledge of how to do it. You made a thread to talk about it but really I believe that you made that thread to make a profit. There is free software to record your screen and there is also hacked software for camtasia there is no excuse not to share especially on xda.
You probably won't respond because you don't want to share this info and pretending like you didn't see this post is probably better than trying to come up with an excuse because there isn't one.

I reflashed the phone again slowly making sure I follow each step of the video and also did the *228 on the phone. After I disable Wifi, I still get "No network connection. No Signal found for mobile networks."
At first I had the LG2 modem and it keep on prompting for a sim card, so I updated it to LJ7. Still no 3G and I keep on getting the roaming message.
I do noticed however when I got to Settings, About device, Status:
Network = Sprint (shouldn't this be Verizon?)
Mobile network type: 1xRTT:6 (CDMA)
User name = [email protected] (shouldn't this be something like my telephone # @vzw.com?)
Mobile network state = disconnected (???)
IMEI =Old one from Sprint (shouldn't this be my Verizon Gusto 2 IMEI?)
Thanks guys for all your help.

I flashed the MOAR rom and kept LG2 modem. Did you download and flash rhe correft PRL? I also went out for a drive to make ure 3G would appear. I would recommend you do the same and see if it helps.

Hmmm.. I never had a problem with the Sim request. From my understanding, you probably still have the Mobile Network set to LTE. That should be the only reason why it's looking for a Sim Card.
I also noticed a different PRL after activating on Verizon.

Are you sure need to be on LG2? Everytime I flash that modem I get that symbol on the left (sim i think) and no data connection. Shouldn't LJ7 modem work?

network issue and questions regarding update profile

So my wife began having issues with her s3 about a week ago. Couldn't receive our place calls but data worked correctly. My phone hasn't had this issue but I'm rooted running old radios. So we call Sprint and they run us through the usual, update profile, factory reset and eventually we have a phone that seems to work. That only lasted a few days though. Spent said I'd it becomes an issue we should consider reps aching the phone so we go to best buy to replace it through insurance. New phone comes in and best buy cannot get the phone to work. Same issue, data works, no voice/text. Before the new phone I was 80% sure it was network related. Reason being when her phone was having this issue I couldn't even reach her voicemail when I called her phone, it would only give a busy signal. Now that a second phone has the same issue I'm definitely convinced but Sprint insists we take it to a repair center to have them check it out. I decide I want to test my theory and put a touch wiz Rom on my phone, upgrade to md4 radios, update profile, bam, no voice/text, only data. Downgrade radios, update profile, everything works. So off to Sprint we go, about 20 miles north of us. We get to the store and of course they are going to want to update the profile. I test the phone while we are up there and it doesn't work. As soon as I update the profile it works. Does the phone pull the profile data directly from the tower? It's really just curiosity at this point as to what might actually be wrong since my wife's phone is fixed, until the system tries to update the profile while we are home. My thinking was that if the profile data is stored directly at the tower that maybe out tower is corrupted in some way. Sprint reps tells us it is simply die to tower upgrades but it's not an issue of coverage, we have bars and data. The busy signal when trying to call the phone makes me feel like it is a much different issue than they care to recognize.
Sorry for the wall of text but if anyone has a good idea what the root issue might be or who to contact at Sprint that will actually pay attention to what I'm telling them let me know.

You may want to try ##72786# in the Dial Pad. It will do the Hands Free Activation again. The Device will Reboot once. Just let it do it's thing.

Did that a number of times. Same result, no voice but data works. So far updating the profile while on a different tower or downgrading the radios has been the only fix.

One thing that keeps coming back in my brain. Is that you had the same issue in two different devices. I would tend to say the issue is on Sprint's side of things. Did they check your account, to be sure there are no restrictions on it ?

They did and no restrictions. I'm going to try it again tonight but I'm fairly certain I can replicate the issue.
Step 1, flash to touch wiz
Step 2, update to md4, at this point everything will probably still work
Step 3 update profile. At this point I should lose voice/text service while retaining data if I'm correct. And again, if I get within range of a different tower and then update profile it will again work. After updating off a different tower service will continue to work at my house as well. Let the testing begin...
