So my phone was @ EL29. I decided that when I was updating from CM9-alpha3 to CM9-alpha4 that I'd also go ahead and update my modem. I updated CM9, and it rebooted fine and was still working.
Went back and Odin'd the FE16 modem, and it rebooted. Once it booted up, I got a 'Activate your phone' page stating "A special call needs to be made to activate your phone service. After pressing 'Activate'... " but this doesn't work (The number or code you dialed is incorrect.)
From what I can tell, this is because ICS doesn't support the ## dialer codes? I did some searching, but couldn't come up with much. I found this post in the modem thread, which links to a "multiboot" ROM for the Epic 4G (not the Touch) that boots a stock ROM off the SD Card and doesn't affect the current running ROM, which lets you do things like Update PRL / Update Profile / etc.
Is there anything like that for the E4GT? Or am I going to have to wipe, go back to GB, re-activate/update profile/update prl on stock, wipe again and go back to CM9?
Another option is to program your phone through QPST, but you might find that to be just as troublesome as flashing back to stock.
A quick search pointed me to this thread for QPST. Doesn't seem too terribly difficult (except that I'm on a Linux box, might have to do some fun VirtualBox emulation to get it working on a Windows VM).
Technically I lied when I said I flashed the stuff using Odin... actually used heimdall, but it does the same thing.
What's funny is my data is working 3G/4G with no problem. If I try to place a call, it immediately hangs up. Trying ##72786# gives a recording that "Your phone is not yet activated. To activate, press end and call customer service"
Service is through ting (who uses Sprint's network)

i actually had something like this happen about a week or two ago. I used heimdall on my mac to flash a new modem while on an AOSP rom, and was told I had to activate the phone. I couldn't figure out anything to do except restore a TW backup and activate then restore back to my current AOSP setup. I never experienced having a modem flash de-activate the phone, but this was the only time i ever used heimdall, usually use Odin on windows.
Odin back to a stock ROM using a one click, Odin a stock modem of your choice and check clear phone efs, and boot up and allow it to reactivate.

First I tried extracting the packages from the OdinOneClick to use heimdall to flash it back to stock. Ended up in a bootloop on the Spring 4G screen. Brought up a Win7 box and used the oneclick on Windows to get back to stock. Reactivated, reflashed the FE16 modem. Now back to CM9 I go.. oh well, all fixed
Thanks ya'll

Good going JLM!
Btw Revamper, I think any of the one-click flashes both the stock modem and kernel along with the rom so you don't necessarily have to flash a modem right away.
Edit: Also, what's the 'clear phone efs'?

It does but you can't clear phone EFS. that clears all sprint data and forces your phone to activate again.

Did you do a full restore or a data preserve?
Edit; if you did a data preserve, your phone will act funny when coming from a ROM. You should do a FE16 full restore if you haven't already, it will reset all your phone settings to factory, but it's the best option when coming from a ROM.

If you're worried about modem speed, FE16 to me is the best modem since FC18.

So my friend rooted his Evo with Unrevoked. I verified s-off.
He copied a PC36IMG onto his SD which turns out was some 2.1 rooted stock ROM. After doing that his phone could not make/receive calls/text or connect to 1x/3G/4G. Basically an expensive phone that has no phone functions. Everything else works (WiFi included). He flashed http://link.geekfor.me/rootedromzip onto his phone from http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc...vo-install-clockwork-recovery.html#post165998.
When I looked at it, he still did not have a custom recovery so I flashed Amon RA PC36IMG. Full factory wiped data/cache/dvalik. Flashed Synergy RC1. Phone still could not make/receive calls and was getting Error 16 when trying to call. Called Sprint and they reprovisioned phone and fixed calls and texting. Noticed his phone is stuck on 1x and cannot connect to 3G when my phone next to his works fine. Did not test 4G yet since I have poor 4G coverage in my area. Cannot update his profile - just sits there like something is happening but it never completes.
What are his options here? Is it a bad radio or something that we can fix? Can we flash a stock rooted ROM and regain 3G? Remember, no nandroid was made unfortunately.
I would try flashing the latest radios just to be sure. And tell your friend to always make a nandroid backup to avoid this problem in the future.
Well his first time flashing. I think he mistakenly thought the PC36IMG as a custom recovery but it was actually an entire ROM.
Didn't have a chance to nandroid. I'm instructing him how to update newest radio combo and seeing what happens.
Update: Flashed latest combo radio. Updated profile and PRL. Still stuck on 1x even after reboot. Is he hosed? Does Sprint have to do something on their end to fix his EVDO? 4G isn't working either by the way.
Update 2: Wimax Keys Checker - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joeykrim.wimaxkeys says that RSA Key is present. Relieved that he didn't lose his RSA key. Just can't figure for the life of me why he can't connect to 3G or 4G. Not sure where to go from here? Maybe trying to flashing latest stock rooted RUU? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110733
Bumping for some attention.
Hey, happened to me a couple of times, it will come back. Maybe wipe everything again, have you tried ##data# and entering msl key, wait... Have you updated his data profile in settings

Ok, was on the road when I had wife reply...lol.. When you rebooted the phone,did you wipe cache,and dalvik. Then try updating profile? It sounds weird,but has worked for me,without even updating profile. I have had no coverage before after flashing a Rom,also,did just that,and it came back. If rsa keys are present,that is good. If you would be kind enough to reply,whether fixed or not,would appreciate it,anyway,gonna move on...

Did he try updating his profile & prl
Sent from my criffvo
Updating profile and PRL doesn't work. It keeps attempting to update but it is never successful.
I haven't had a chance to get his phone to just try reflashing a new ROM or stock ROM to see what will happen though.
He says using ##data# and entering his MSL code and changing EVDO to automatic doesn't work either.

I would start over again ... wipe completely with Calkulin's "fomat all" zip and flash a rooted stock rom like xhausx. Once the phone boots up, call Sprint and have them walk you through provisioning everything. Once all is well, then move into whatever custom stuff he wants.

You took the words from my mouth!
Is he Flashing the RUU's or just running them through the computer? Normally, you sync your phone or through hBoot and then start the program, try flashing stock Froyo and then factory reset once flashed, it helps clear out traces of old roms etc. If you need anymore help feel free to ask, I would be more than happy!
I don't think it worked.
Calkulin's Format, flashed Odexed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133379.
It showed 3G but I think it was misleading. Wiped and flashed to evodeck and it went back to showing 1x. My phone has 3G showing on evodeck next to his so he definitely has 3G coverage.
I guess it's just time to call Sprint for a re-provision? Does it have to be on a Sense ROM for them to reprovision?

you dont need Sprint to provision, just get your MSL code and do it your self plus I would do a search for people who may of had similar issues and see what they did. Now if that does not work then why dont you check what your network settings are.. See if its set to CDMA(Auto) I remember my Touch Pro I could of set it to 1x maybe something is getting stuck. I think its in ##3282 you check it and I also remember an app on the market called network that did it for you as well.
If that does not work then flash 3.70 radios and then a 3.70RUU and start from scratch.
He already tried ##data#. He can change his EVDO to automatic but it doesn't stay that way.
Alright I don't know how I fixed it but it's fixed.
Just cannot get 4G now. Wimax keys are present. It keeps scanning and cannot get connect. Previously could get 4G at these locations.
I am running EVO as donor/target phone, my is only 1x speed, no matter which rom I try
Synergery, Mik, Stock-Rooted, differ kernal, different PRL, check the data profile Automatic, Try restore but can not cat automatically update, still need to go qpst to update my profile. I have been working on this for two weeks. I went back to my orig phone, it show ev most of time, the speed is must faster than my evo. Searc all over from goole, still no luck, Anyone any idea to try

i know this post is somewhat old. but Making a back up wont take hardly and extra time! always always make one unless you have 100% reliable roms already backed up.
I have had this problem before, with no clear resolution, but I think I have narrowed down the circumstances.
When I am running stock or stock rooted, I have full sms capability. When I flash a ROM, I lose it. I have had full capability on it with custom ROM's but not anymore. Sprint told me it's probably a network thing, update prl, profile etc.. That doesn't work.
I always use Calkulin's format all tool and I always stick with Gingerbread ROM's.
I do no use GVoice, at all and I refuse to. The one time I tried, and it allowed me to receive texts but phone calls wouldn't work.
I found this thread -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284092 --- but it gives me FC's and I think I even lost root with it. It didn't solve my problem so I flashed after 5 minutes with in.
Any suggestions?
Personally what I would do is one click Odin back to stock el29. Odin a modem of your choice with clear phone efs checked, and allow it to reactivate with Sprint. Then try a ROM again after updating profile. Do it at your own risk of course. Clear phone efs wipes your nvram. NVRAM contains lots of low-level settings for your phone, including your Sprint phone #, Sprint data login, etc. It reactivated fine for me but SFhub said that it didn't work for someone else. Good luck.

See if you can get into recovery, if you can then reflash the rom and see if that helps
I recently purchased a T Mobile SGH T989 off of Ebay. The seller said the phone was used but in good working condition. When I got the phone, it looked good and had little wear. I went in to settings and preformed a reset to defaults and put my sim card in to test it. The phone seemed to work fine and I tested it for about a week with the stock T Mobile rom. After a week everything on the phone worked and tested out ok. I reflashed the phone to the latest stable version of Cyanogenmod. After first boot and at the home screen, the phone never connected the T mobile service. I re flashed the Cyanogenmod rom thinking something went wrong the first time but again no service. I ran clockwork recovery to the restored the stock rom and immediately get 4 bars or service. Reflash Cyanogenmod rom again no service..back to stock phone works fine. Puzzled I went back to my old phone and decided to call T Mobile support, I read the IMEI off the back of the SGH T989 to the service rep and they told me this phone was part of a business plan that was overdue and was blocked (aka blacklisted). When I rebooted the phone and looked in system info the IMEI had been altered. I reflashed to Cyanogenmod and the phone has the same altered IMEI number as the stock rom but no service. I guess I am confused why it would work with one rom and not the other. Is there something more the governs network provider access? Is there something else I can do to get it to work?
The Ebay seller never said anything about bad IMEI, so I am going to ask for a refund and send it back if I cant fix it...just a better part of a day wasted messing with it only to go back to a Mytouch 4g.

Do I boot into clockwork and perform a darkside wipe and then install the radio from zip?
If I go back to the stock rom will there be any ill effect?

You can boot into CWM and wipe cache, dalvik cache and flash the radio. And you can always go back to the radio you have now. To find out which one you have now look for baseband version in settings/about phone.
so i bought a T999l a few weeks ago had it unlocked, rooted and activated with my existing t-mobile account. For some reason my 4G never worked with them and after several calls they said because my phone was modified they couldn't help me basically. I started with some of the roms from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2308514 but ended up going back to stock or prob trying to go back to stock because it still says its modified in status of phone. so i was back to 4.1.2 with uvamb7 kernel. I ended up trying sim cards from different carriers and found out that 4g works with at&t sim cards. so the other day i joined aio and finally had 4glte for the first time on this phone. As the days go by though i started noticing it wasnt keeping 4g or 4g lte when i was moving around. As a matter of fact i have to force it to go 4g or lte by either restarting and getting lucky or by using *#2263# and switching sometimes several times from only lte and gsm to automatic or all lte basebands (which gives me lte but i cant make calls or receive calls apparently) and then switching to automatic. Basically if i get lucky and its getting 4glte on automatic it will be fine until i move to a area where there is no lte then its gone until i force it to go lte again even if i get into a area that has lte/4g. Its like its not automatically detecting its in a 4g/lte area, it just stays on edge until i force it. I then tried the 4.3 rom at this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48399478. I sort of got it working but i think i might have been using the wrong kernel because whenever i restart the phone it doesnt load past the galaxy sIII splash screen. If i dont restart however it works but same issue i have to force it to detect when its in a 4g or lte area. So since that wasn't working too well i went back to the stock 4.1.2 setup. So im thinking is this an issue with my antenna or something? I'm still learning this phone so any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

i found a t-moblile 4.3 firmware update last night and flashed it using odin. Seems like its not rooted anymore since i'm getting the stock recovery now. I assume wipe cache partition is the same thing right? so i did that and restarted the phone. 4g lte came right up. I make a call and it drops to 4g which is fine considering before it would drop all my data during a call. Here is the thing though after the call it shows full 4g for a couple seconds then no bars, nothing. No data no network and it will consistently do this . im starting to think this phone is possessed
Stop flashing stuff. Odin to stock (4.3 if you have ever flashed 4.3 via odin, 4.1.2 otherwise) and bring it in.
Also, make sure you use the right firmware, or you will hard brick. If you have never flashed 4.3 via Odin, use MB7. If you have flashed 4.3 via Odin, use MK4.
No amount of flashing random stuff will fix your nv data.

If you have the t999L it has warranty... Hasn't been out long enough for warranty to run out
Bring it in to your carrier (tmo?) And have them reprovision it. It sounds like bad nv data, and unless you have a good backup, the carrier is the only one that can fix that.

I have the same problem, I paid 15 dollars to the unlockpros.com to remotely unlock my T999L. they did unlock it but now 4g data in t mobile is gone, it freeces, on aTT I get 4G but it goes on and off.
I spoke to them and they tried to fix it remotely, the 4g finally appeared again on t mobile network but then after restart same problem again, no 4G data on t mobile,
does anyone has a full NV data backup that I can use to restore?
will a NV backup from another gallaxy 3 work on mines??
hope someone can help.
Don't use anyone else's nv data, major problems if they turn their phone on ever, and legal issues.
Just Odin the root66 mb7 full restore. That will put you to 100% stock, but with root. You can then use triangle a way to reset the flash counter and modified status, then bring it in to tmo. Make sure to tell them not to update you, or you are stuck with the new bootloader. They might update you anyway "for your convenience", just FYI.

Anybody ever have issues with apps? I first had an issue with the stock messages app not allowing me to send out texts to a single person. Been having this issue for about 2 months. Have been in touch with T-Mobile repeatedly and they reset the signals and everything each time to no avail. Last rep I spoke with said to bring it in to a T-Mo store and get them to change out the SIM (in case that was the issue) and get them to do a back-up & reset. That too did not help. Eventually I downloaded the Google Messaging app and through that I'm able to send out normal person to person texts again but not through the stock app.
I've also got issues with apps having updated versions yet the updates aren't available in Google Play Store for me to download. For example, on June 27th, NCP Mobile came out with version 1.8, but it's still not showing. I've been in touch with the National Consumer Panel, and they say as long as I'm running Android 4.0 or higher (actually running 4.3, rooted- stock ROM) I should see the update available.
I've also been experiencing issues with Perk apps (namely Perk Browser and Perk Search & Win) not allowing me to sign in via Facebook or with email and password. Password reset links almost never get sent. The 2 times they did finally send me a reset link it directs me to the Perk homepage also on which I cannot sign in. I'm in touch with them regarding these issues too.
The last app (as of right now) that I am experiencing problems with is CSI: Crime Scene. The app doesn't allow me to connect to facebook to play with friends like I do when I'm on facebook.
I'm having an issue with connectivity, please help if able.
1. used CF auto root method from this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/sp...uide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862 when I went to TWRP it would say recovery is not seandroid enforcing, but would go on to TWRP anyway.
2. made backups
3. connectivity problems started. could make and receive phone calls in certain places. dropped phone calls and went straight to roaming with unstable connection.
4. reflashed stock firmware from Koop1955's post
5. noticed I still had connectivity issues even when back to stock
6. reflashed twrp and root
7. still have connectivity issues
8. not able to activate through hands free activation or dialer codes.
9. can see sprint then it goes away. will get LTE in other places

I have MSL code and looked at ##data#. All bands are enabled on the LTE front. Would placing a new SIM card work? or should I try going through more advanced diagnostics? The phone works and makes and recieves calls as long as i'm not in a bad spot. The thing is, there are ALOT more bad spots and it shoots me to roaming in the same area my fiancee has LTE and good reception. Same phone, same service. Any way this information can help?

Providing you have your MSL # do the ##data# menu, and make sure you have all of the LTE bands enabled. Carrier aggregation too. Other than that not sure what to recommend besides a trip to a Sprint store.

I had to get the phone repaired about a month ago. They placed a new daughter board completely on it. Could this affect it after flash? I had no problems with reception before root and twrp so I didnt think this would be relevant but maybe you guys know how to check if that is where this issue is coming from.

Doing a wipe via TWRP and then flashing the TAR should return the phone to stock state. Since the problem happens when you are unrooted and back to stock recovery (as well as when you are rooted and running TWRP) it seems likely that it is hardware. If I were you, I would do another wipe (System, Data and caches) then Odin the latest TAR and bring the phone back to where the repair was done. Tell them that you took the latest OTA update and the phone failed and that they need to fix it.
