This post is about as helpful as
I have a can of beer, but its empty
Pls describe your issue:
rooted? s-on or off? rom? kernel? is your phone activated?

Dial *228 and select option 1

Yes I am rooted. I'm using cm9. s is on. my kernel is [email protected]#1fri oct 7 10:52:52: cst 2011 ,but yes I am activated I think on my verizon account it says that I have this phone but I don't have any service but I have 3g i dont get it...

I'm having the same problem with my htc incredible. I have 3G but can't make calls or send texts (can't receive calls or texts either). My phone is rooted and i had the evervolv rom installed on it for about 2 months now. I tried flashing another rom but I have the same problem (tried salvage-mod). I'm wondering if this had anything to do with some apps i removed (I used titanium backup to remove evervolvs email app, the evervolv browswer and evernolv news/weather). The phone worked fine for 3 or 4 days after i removed these apps and then this happened. But I don't think this is related but just thought i would mention it.

I hate to be redundant but have you tried calling *228 and reprogramming the phone? If so and it didn't help anything, could you post a little bit of information about your phone? We know you are on evervolv and rooted and I'm guessing you're using clockworkmod recovery but what is your baseband/radio? Any other relevant information you can think of would also be helpful so someone can help you

Yeah I am running CWR.
Baseband: 2.15.00.07.28
Kernel version: 2.6.37.4-cyanogenmod+ [email protected] #27
Build number: GRJ22
I tried called *228 and reprogramming but it hasn't helped. I was thinking about going back to a stock rom and calling verizon.
When I try making a call, the green bars become grayed out. I will hear about 3 or 4 rings before I get a message from Verizon saying my call cannot be processed and they give me the following code: 11 switch? 179-3

You need to call verizion and have them reprovision your phone. I'm 90% positive its a problem on there end. I would go back to a stock rom first (RUU), but keep s-off or you will be in for a lot of work rerooting.

well, I don't think that this is necessarily the problem but you might want to consider upgrading your radio. It is easily flashable through hboot and can considerably improve your call quality. The one you're using now was designed for and released with froyo and when you downgraded to root you also downgraded the radio so perhaps that is a problem?
You can get the radios from this address:
http://dinc.does-it.net/Radios/
You probably want 2.15.10.07.07 as it is the newest radio that was designed for the dinc. (released with gingerbread 2.3.4)
Just make sure you check the MD5 before flashing because a bad radio file could brick your device.
EDIT: cmlusco is right, that is what you really need to do. I always avoid going to verizon myself because I have no interest in them trying to tell me how i somehow did something wrong by rooting it.

What do you mean by check the MD5?

Click to expand...

I still maintain that like cmlusco said you should go ahead and RUU back to stock and talk to verizon about it but it is still good to know what an MD5 sum is.
An MD5 Sum is a string of numbers that is unique to every file. You check the MD5 sum to make sure it matches the original MD5 Sum which is usually provided by the developer or host of the file. For example, in the case of the radio:
if you go to this page you will see two files: http://dinc.does-it.net/Radios/2.15.10.07.07/
One is called PB31IMG.zip and the other is called PB31IMG.zip.md5
If you click on PB31IMG.zip it will download the file to your computer and you can then transfer that file to the root of your SD card to be flashed.
If you click on PB31IMG.zip.md5 you will see a string of numbers/letters which make up the MD5 sum for the PB31IMG.zip file. For this file it is:
617E6969061DCBC3CA613FA6D02565F0
You then want to make sure that after you download the file or even better when it has been placed on your phone that the file has not been corrupted during downloading or during transfer to your phone. This can be done by using an MD5 checker which can be downloaded from many places online for your pc and there are several MD5 checkers available in the market. You basically just want to make sure the string of numbers found online on the dev site or the host site is the same as the one generated by the checker

So i tried the radio and it didnt help. I'm going to do the RUU now. Is this the link for that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227279

Should be able to use any of them. However they will prompt you with ota updates after you boot to get to either 4.08.605.2 or 4.08.605.15 if its been pushed to you yet, or mabey both.

So i flashed the RUU and called verzion. they refreshed something on their end and now i can make calls and send texts. thanks for all your help

The unrevoked3 recovery flash tool wont root my phone. Would going back to an older RUU like 3.26.605.1 help?
I made sure security was off (S-OFF) when i did the flash with the first RUU. Also hboot still says S-OFF so i dont think this is the problem.

If your s-off all you have to do to root is flash cwm recovery thru hboot http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip and then flash superuser through recovery http://dinc.does-it.net/SuperUser/SuperUser_3.0.7.zip .

[Q] Baseband Unknown, Signal Drops

Hi, i'm from Brazil and i have a Gnex from UK, and it's unlocked.
When i was at 4.0.2, everythings ok, but after the OTA update to 4.0.4, i'm having some problems if the data is turned on, and the option 'only 2g' is checked the signal is good, but if the data is turned on and i have 3G connection the phone lose signal, and baseband shows Unknown.
My Gnex is Yakju, and i have flashed the 4.1 (JRN84D) from here with baseband I9250XXLF1 and 3.0.31-ge8de0e2 kernel ( on the post shows that's a stock kernel ). And the problems still here.
More info about my Gnex on fastboot mode:
Product Name: Tuna

HW Version: 9
BootLoader: PRIMEKK15
Baseband: I9250XXLF1
Sorry for my bad english, but i can't use 3G connection and i need to recive emails, etc
If anyone can help me, thanks! :laugh:

I'm not 100% sure but I think your kernel maybe be the Developer preview kernel, the official is 3.0.31-g6fb96c9, you could try flashing that? It's what I'm running with 4.1.1 and it works fine.

The 4.1.1 is available from OTA, but when i press to install the phone reboot then enter in CWM and shows a message that de update was found, try install but give me a erro message that failed, i'm a new user on android, my phone was an iPhone.

No, when de signal is dropped i had to take battery out from phone, wait 5 or more minutes than put it back! If i put it back before i have the baseband unknown message on Config > About Phone. And this happens only if i have 3G signal, i see many people saying about signal issues after OTA to 4.0.4 and if i still with "only 2g" selected i don't have signal drop or disable the data, then i don't have any problem

If it's the status 7 error it's because OTA's require stock everything I think, including recovery.

Not sure if it will fix the problem, I think it's in the kernel you have as that's where WIFI is managed, however you could try and if that doesn't work change the kernel.
Instructions on how to update to official 4.1 are here however if you want to then accept the OTA afterwards when following Method 1 do not delete/rename /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and CWM will be overwritten by stock and you should be able to accept OTA's.
Note: If you don't want to lose your data then you could try skipping the "Wipe data/factory reset" step but do that at your own risk, I skipped it and it works fine though.

a "different" kinda phone problem(?)
I looked through most all of these forums and couldnt find anyone with the problem im having. Not sure if it's me or what...
My problem is that when I flash some roms, my phone doesnt work. (yes im on sprint and only using toroplus). Well, yesterday, for most of the day, everything on my phone worked. When I got up this morning, It hadnt charged, and I lost my dialing again. Some ROMs I flash start off. When I go to settings> about phone> status under "Network" it says "unknown" and under "service state" It will say "no service" then checking on "Moblle Network State" It'll say "unknown"", sometimes my phone number shows up, sometimes it doesnt, Most times I cant make outgoing calls and when anyone calls me, it does a half ring and directs my callers straight to my voice mail. Is anyone having this problem too? And if so, how did you fix it? It frustrates the hell outta me and I think I should just go back to ICS although I dont want to. HELLP!!! :-/
Thanks,
Ridge

P.S. I forgot to mention that Im on a Sprint phone and that Im running Houng81's AOKP Aug1 version Baseband: fg01, the kernel that came with the ROM, Ive even replaced them a few times and nothing does any better. Forgot to add this to my prior text LOL sorry, that just gave me away as a n00b huh? HEHE

Doing the OTA might solve it since it will update (i think) your bootloader to lc03, you still on kk15. If it doesnt, use fastboot and update manually. To run an OTA with cwm installed, you need to download the update.zip from dev section for the OTA you want to run, but do it through cwm (like flashing a custom rom).

I read in another forum that the "factory" folder is the efs on the Gnex, and maybe my phone was with this folder corrupt, if i get a backup of another Gnex thats everything is working and restore to my Gnex will be resolve the problem?

Thanks for this post. I bought my mom a sprint gnex for mothers day, and sprint is pushing a 26mb ota. I put TWRP on her phone and rooted. Do I need the stock recovery to do the update, does the update break root?
Sorry, not familiar with Sammy or nexus devices, I've always used HTC. And the nexus forums are kinda hard to navigate because of the way it's split up.

Did I hose my Sprint Gnex radio?

Here's my situation, I'm in the Dallas area, and have never seen a 4g connection.
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my stock ODIN'd image, after having a JB ROM for a bit.
Thinking (first mistake) I muck up the radio I flashed FD02:
fastboot flash radio radio-LTE-FD02.img
fastboot flash radio-cdma radio-cdma-FD02.img
The Baseband/Kernal/Build look fine to me (?), [Screenshot attached].
And
In Settings/ More / Mobile Networks, I still have LTE/CDMA.
So, here's what looks strange, in Phone info (Dialer>*#*#4636#*#*> phone information> ) , under:
Set Preferred Network Type:
Here are the options (i.e. no LTE options) :
WCDMA Preferred
GSM Only
WCDMA Only
GSM auto (PRL)
CDMA auto (PRL)
CDMA only
EvDo only
GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
Unknown
Question - Shouldn't there be an LTE/CDMA (prl) and LTE Only option?

Weird. Mine reads the same thing. I have been trying to find the FG01/FG01 files because that was the baseband before flashing a new rom. I'm You think the radio has something to do with it because the FG01 is supposed to be the latest version?

[Q] Can't Connect to Mobile Network after Custom ROM Flash

Hi all, so I'm in quite the predicament. I can't seem to reestablish a mobile connection via Verizon at all since I've overwritten the stock ROM with Cyanogen. I have Inc2, now loaded with CM7, awaiting some help.
First I unlocked the bootloader and flashed CWM Recovery.
Next I flashed Build 4 CM10 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934288 <--check it out here.
I couldn't establish any network connection whatsoever. So i wiped and flashed CM9 with the hopes it would be more stable. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932573 <--again check that one out.
Again, no network connection. Lastly, I reverted to CM7 (because it was the last stable release directly from Cyanogen). http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Vivow_Info <--looky here.
I've searched far and wide, trying everything possible. From simply switching on/off airplane mode to manually typing in the Verizon APN. I just can't establish network connection now...and the kicker - I forgot to backup the stock ROM so I'm currently stuck. Please help
This thread may be of some help. Didn't do me much justice however. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691017

Bumping. Somebody please help...Also if anyone has a stock ROM they could share, that'd do fine as well. I'm curious if stock ROM would re-enable the radio (if that's the actual problem).

Have you tried changing your mobile network? Settings > more> network mode

Been there. You can try different radios from here, but BE CAREFUL. Take the following precautions:
Because you're on Verizon, only download 'x.x.01.xxxx' radios.
After putting the ZIP file on the SD card, verify the MD5 hash to ensure the file didn't get corrupted during download or during transfer to the SD card.
Plug the phone into your charger before installing. You don't want it shutting off during install.
Don't flash the same radio that your phone already has installed.
If all else fails, try the stock 2.3.3 RUU from HTC. If you can find a working download link to that, please share.

I've tried everything in the books. Manually setting my APN according to the Verizon settings. Also did trial and error booting and rebooting each network type to no avail.
A few things I noticed in the CM9 ROM (maybe bugs?):
The preferred network mode typically defaults to GSM/WCDMA upon reboot
The APN I create often disappear upon reboot.
Mobile Networks>Network Operators will either search endlessly or sometimes find both AT&T and T-Mobile as options, both of which won't actually connect as I have a Verizon SIM.
And in response to Slinkwyde:
To verify the MD5 hash, what needs to be done more specifically? (I'm learning as I go ) Did flashing a radio do the fix for you? I'll try this suggestion and post results.

Yes, verizon sim card. I'm in the USA. And I believe I am supposed to be using GSM but I don't fully comprehend the differences between each type. However I have tried setting each type in system settings>mobile networks with no data showing at any point.

And in response to Slinkwyde:
To verify the MD5 hash, what needs to be done more specifically? (I'm learning as I go ) Did flashing a radio do the fix for you? I'll try this suggestion and post results.

Yes, flashing a radio worked for me. The simplest way would be to use an MD5 checker app. Use the app to make sure the file on your SD card matches the MD5 value given in the radio thread I linked to.
One more precaution: Don't ever flash the same radio version that your phone is already using. That caused problems with the original Incredible and might also cause problems with the Incredible 2. To see what radio version you have, go to Settings and look around in About phone, Phone info, or something to that effect. "Baseband" is another word for radio.

Short version: For Verizon, you want CDMA with EvDO.
Longer overview: CDMA vs GSM, and what it means for the Incredible 2
Verizon Wireless and Sprint use CDMA. AT&T and T-Mobile use GSM. CDMA is popular in the United States, but around the world GSM is far more common. All GSM phones use SIM cards, but most CDMA phones don't. The two kinds of CDMA phones that do have SIM cards are world phones (phones with both CDMA and GSM) and LTE phones (faster data speeds).
The Incredible 2 is a world phone (without LTE) and comes with a Vodafone SIM for overseas travel. This Vodafone SIM also has Verizon Wireless branding on it. The Verizon Wireless company is jointly owned by Verizon and Vodafone, a European carrier based in the UK. Verizon world phones have to be unlocked to use AT&T or T-Mobile, because Verizon doesn't want their customers switching to a competitor.
SIM cards make it easy for GSM users (not you) to use their carrier account in another phone. They can just swap the SIM. For CDMA carriers (such as Verizon), swapping service to a different phone requires contacting the carrier.

You don't need the sim card at all then, you're CDMA. If you're not on it already i would recommend flashing the latest ics firmware, it can be found in the ICS leak ROM thread posted by nitsuj17 , it includes the newest radio

Note that he's specifically suggesting that you install the ICS firmware. You don't have to install the ROM.

Okay so what you both are suggesting are to just install the firmware, assuming I am already running the CM9 ROM? Because the firmware includes the radio. And this is done by renaming the firmware to PG32IMG and flashing it through hboot? Would this be an easier course of action than installing a radio alone? My phone is S-ON and if I'm correct, S-OFF needs to be active to install a radio.

Yes, you can install the firmware to get the radio, and the file name needs to be PG32IMG.zip for hboot. S-OFF is generally required for this sort of thing, yes.

Thanks so much guys, you've been more than helpful. Now to get some work done...I'll post results either tonight or tomorrow once I've finished. Wish me luck!

Put the battery cover back on. It'll instantly drop sig. when not installed.

I'm currently trying to downgrade Inc2 so I can S-Off in order to flash either new firmware or radio. I am following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726134 and cant seem to download the necessary RUU 2.3.3 for Inc2. It seems as if the downloads link is dead. Can anybody link to such a file? I cant seem to find one anywhere.
EDIT: Found a stock (or as close to stock I could find) ROM for INC2 >> http://d-h.st/I2g

Also, I may have a potential reason as to why I'm having this ***** of a problem. I originally unlocked bootloader using the HTCdev tool. At the time it was my understanding that the process did not matter as long as the results were the same. However it seems now that using their tool makes it so you can't flash radios and need to extract and separately flash ROM kernels. So does this mean flashing any of the CM ROM's I tried never included the radio portion?
Just stabbing at ideas. Feel free to verify/call me out.

Roms NEVER include a radio, its always separate. something weird has happened to you, I'm sure flashing new radio would fix it for you but you're dev unlocked which is gay Lol. When you flashed the cyanogen ROMs did you pull kernel and flash like you were supposed to, if not i can't believe you got it to boot but that may be a problem also.

If it helps, here is the process that I have used every time I flash anew ROM, working every time (excluding the radio of course.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujFWZbgj6bY
Because I HAD (I actually just reverted back and am currently getting S-OFF to flash a radio) the HTCdev unlock, I manually booted the boot.img after entering recovery and wiping/formatting all the necessary things. Skimming the video might give you a better idea.
However I'm now hoping S-OFF will allow me to reroot, flash CWM, CM9, and of course a radio. Currently in the process of trying to run Revolutionary.

[Q] Flashing ROM on a Boost Mobile SGS3 - Receiving Installation Error

Hello Everyone,
Please excuse me, I am a noob here. I recently purchased a Boost Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3, and I wanted to flash a new ROM onto it.
It was my understanding that the Boost Mobile and Sprint versions of the GS3 had the same model number, and therefore were able to be flashed with similar ROMs.
I have gotten this far: - I was able to root it, confirm that it was rooted, and installed CWM touch recovery v6.0.1.2. But when I downloaded a ROM (for example - TheCollective ROM), I am receiving a "status 7" error, the same error that as on this page - http://highonandroid.com/android-roms/how-to-fix-status-7-error-with-cwm-recovery-on-rooted-android/
After following the instructions, I tried to reflash the same ROM and now I am getting an "installation aborted" error. I couldn't find anything that would work on it. I would be really greatful if anyone can guide me to solve this.
Thank you for your help.

Sprint could have blocked this from happening very easily since Boost runs off of Sprint's towers. Im not gonna guarantee it, but you could try to downgrade your radio to something like LG2, then try to flash a custom ROM, then upgrade your radio back. What baseband does about phone section say you have?

The Baseband Version is: L710VPAMG2.
How could I downgrade my radio to LG2? Is that hard to do? Is it done via ODIN?

Looks like you can't, I'm glad i asked you to post your baseband. That baseband is not in the list of radios for the Sprint GS3. You can take a look HERE. Its probably similiar, but not similiar enough.

I wouldn't, would probably render your phone useless. Seems like I read a thread where Sprint blocked this from happening with an update to Boost GS3s, but I can't locate it. If I find it, I'll post it for you here.
