I seem to be stuck on the CyanogenMod Boot Screen. It continually keeps displaying it. How would I fix this? Let me know if you need more details.

Did you do a factory reset in a custom recovery?

Assuming you have a custom recovery, you could try the following:
- boot into recovery
- push a rom (for instance: the CM version you have installed) to your /sdcard/ using adb
- flash it
If you have the toolkit install (found in the dev sec.) its gonna be a breeze to flash another rom or the stock nexus image

No idea why they stuck the toolkit on the dev section, it's nothing related to dev.........
And stop using the toolkit, at least learn how it works:

Purpose of me recommending him doing it manually is so that he won't make more threads like this.

Why would he need the model number to fix this problem? The same methods will fix this whether he is on GSM or CDMA Nexus. Apparently you're the stupid one.

It can be a somewhat confusing process, see if I can find an easier method, often harder than rooting or adding custom roms.

You may be better off to find a shop in your area that has experience doing this kind of thing. To me, its not something that can be explained in depth over the internet. I was gonna say, if you've never rooted or flashed a custom recovery/ROM, then this is definitely something you shouldn't attempt. You could seriously ruin your phone.
Your radio, also known as modem or baseband, is what allows your phone to connect to the network for calls and data and such. Think of a computer modem.

I said I was gonna try to locate an easier method for the unlocking process, there is no easier way. I can't explain all this here. Mods don't want this kind of stuff to be repeated over and over in multiple threads. You have to be rooted 1st, then flash custom recovery(TWRP or CWM), then find lg2 modem files HERE and flash it. Then proceed with next steps. Like I said, if have no experience with rooting/recoveries(this is the easy part), then you may not be able to do this. Good Luck.
Hi there, happens to be my first post here. Have installed succesfully Cyanogen Mod succesfully but now my p350 doesnt detect my sim card, dont know exactly why and cant figure it out, I am new to android, would aprreciate any sugestions, thanks there in advance.

Hi there, thanks for the response.
I have installed this Cynogen Mod ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263963
And also this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971158, which has recognized the sim card but still cant use my network.
Been reading a few things and now I feel inclined to try sim unlocking it, but dont know very well which road to take:
# Baseband: I suppose no, that handles radio and gps, no?
# Firmware: I think maybe that can work, but not sure, some info link?
# Editing files like build.prop?
# What about permissions?
Is there a way? Some guy has done it here apparently: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365486, but wasnt kind enough to say how.
Thanks again
Follow this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRTJ0OG0Hzk&list=UULaB0FBE-vYUKyb8qr35D5A ...it MIGHT work..
It actually worked, I was able to change the firmware more than once, but I was able to chan it to official firwares which actually remains locked, changes only the company of use. Now, I suppose the sim to be locked or not to be will depend of the .kdz file of use. Can recommend one that will do the unlocking? Thanks, you have been very helpful.

Ok, will continue to try some differents roms. Thanks for the links, the roms looks cool. I am just trying to find a certain way to unlock it, maybe there isn't an "unlocked" firmware, maybe itsn't possible. That variant that maybe unlocks it has to have a background. Anyway, the lock code for the IMEI unlock seems to be hackeable somehow, if there is a code to introduce that unlocks it, there is a rainbow table that holds it, no? Will continue trying and update if success. Thanks theprakhar for all the answers, good day gentlemens.
Good day, I apologize in advance if this is a duplicate thread
My M8 randomly stopped detecting my SIM card after I installed my dbrand skin (which is weird because it's just a skin on the phone, it's not going to hamper the performance, right?)
I have a dev ed M8 S-On, BL unlocked with TWRP and I'd like to try flashing the stock RUU or firmware for it.
I am not sure where to find those, or how to go about flashing it.
Can anybody help me sort this out? Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Please delete if possible, I found my answer elsewhere.

Can't see how such a skin would have that effect. Maybe the SIM tray got jarred loose a bit during the application process?
Did you try taking the SIM tray and SIM out, then putting it back in?

You can find the DE RUUs linked in my thread under "RUUs": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432
With s-on, you need to relock the bootloader with the fastboot command: fastboot oem lock
From there, just run the RUU with the phone in fastboot mode while connected to PC. The RUU is fully automated and self-explanatory.
Also, you can only run the RUU for same or greater hboot/version number than what is on the device (no "downgrading").

Okay so I did exactly what you said to do
Relock bootloader> run the RUU and accept everything once read> let it do it's thing
My main problem before was finding which RUU to run, and if I needed to relock my bootloader because of it's DE status
How about the SIM card? Did you get it working and/or figure out what was wrong?

Yeah, as suspected something went wrong with the firmware and flashing the stock RUU fixed it. I'm not exactly sure why it suddenly stopped recognizing my sim card, but it's fixed now so I'm happy.

Okay so the phone fell today and the simcard stopped recognizing again, but I tried another carrier's sim card and it picks up without a problem. I tried flashing the RUU again (twice actually) and no luck. I do see the network that I want when I manually search for it, but I can't select it on the sim card from the other carrier for obvious reasons.
I have no idea what's going on with it.
I'm guessing my sim card isn't fitting well.
Gonna try to get it replaced in the next few days.

That's probably your best bet, at least as a start. Many carriers will also replace your SIM for free, so its easy to at least start troubleshooting from there.

There is also a trick that sometimes helps, where you put a piece of Scotch tape on the SIM (on the side without the gold contacts) and the extra thickness may help "push" the SIM into proper position (make proper contact). But be careful you don't jam up your SIM slot with the tape, or you can be in a real jam.
I haven't seen any folks have this issue on the M8, but I saw it fairly occasionally on some past HTC devices (One X was my last HTC phone). For that phone, the "SIM tape trick" worked in more than a couple instances.

Actually what I want to do now is try to flash the radio files for the DE and hopefully that will work
But I'm worried about firmware compatibility or rather version compatibility because I know that updates can change certain things and I'm running Insert Coin right now
Though I believe that I should be fine because I am S-ON and flashing the RUU will help me if I ever come to a soft-brick
Please tell me if I'm right before I continue

You can't flash another version's radio with s-on.
EDIT: Realized that you have the DE. But still, if s-on, a radio or firmware will only flash if the file is still HTC encrypted/signed.
Also, wrong radio wouldn't give you a SIM error. You would have at least GSM voice and EDGE data, even with the wrong radio. You just would not be able to connect 3G or LTE.

I ended up trying it just before I saw this reply, and sadly it didn't work at all.
I'm getting "No Sim Card" when I try my main carrier's sim, but my other carrier's sim is picking up without a problem.
So I'm definitely getting it replaced today. The recommended DE Radio update didn't seem to change anything, and my rom still works fine.
Thanks for the advice and help. I'll let you know if a new sim card worked in this case.

Newbie here, I have my MSL number from sprint. I put my cricket wireless sim card in the note 4 and it states that its invalid.
I tried all the standard troubleshooting: Different sim, light cleaning, etc
Called Sprint and they tell me its unlocked and I shouldn't have any issues
looked up my mei on ting or some other website and it says it will work
Just rooted the other day with TWRP, installed busybox
I have done some digging and cant find out how to get my phone on cricket wireless.
A point in the right direction would be appreciated.

Hey if you want to try this, this should unlock your device? I came across this while researching code on my device. As my device is already unlocked, I did not proceed past my posted screenshots.
I'll pm you. If you want to verify it works. I'll make a thread about it.

Ok sorry. That must just reset the device. Sorry i couldn't help.
Did you try that downgrade thread? If so and it didn't work then i would say that paying Idone app would be your best option. That's what i used years ago. I know it cost money but i can vouch that their service and support is great and they stay up to date.
Did you try gt tools?
I did, at least Marshmallow, for some reason I could not flash back to KitKat. Anyway, no worries, I think I am just going to sell it and buy a used GSM one. Thanks a bunch.
