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....

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.
Scott
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.

Well, I just browsed through the thread at PPCGeeks, I saw you just asked there too, but this is the best thing I've found:

I have been running the nightly Cyanogen 7 (most recently I was on release 4) and I was having issues with my market application crashing everytime I tried to update apps. When I installed the latest Google apps linked from the Cyan nightly thread and rebooted I could no longer get a data connection at all. My wifi works fine and I can make calls, but data won't connect at any speed. I've tried fixing permissions, wiping data, switching radios, and reloading older roms but I haven't had any luck so far. The APN seems to be correct, but I tried following some instructions on manually inputting APN info and that didn't help either.
Does anyone have any ideas?
You say WIFI works fine -- you can surf the web etc using WIFI, but not through phone Data?
Call your provider -- perhaps they need to reset your connection, verify your IMEI or something...
Thanks for the suggestion. I called T-Mobile and they did their resetting or whatever it is that they can do on their end, but no luck. The rep I talked to suggested getting a new sim card because mine is a couple of years old and it might have failed. I'll give that a try next and see if it helps.
you seem to have two problems.. 1. you cant get market to act nice and 2. you are unable to use the phone without wifi? is that correct?
tmo may be correct about the sim card with regard to your data issues.. that makes sense..and they do fail. But your market problem has nothing to do with the sim card. i use market all the time without a sim card on wifi.
Ugh! So it turns out that the entire data network in my area happened to go down at a time that coincided with me rebooting my phone, leading me to believe I had screwed something up. I don't know why the TMO rep didn't know that, but the guy at the store I talked to seemed annoyed that they kept sending people in for new SIM cards. He said I was like the 20th person to come in for that.
Thanks for the replies, it seems my problems are resolved.

That's really funny lol. I remember being able to ask CS people at Sprint about network outages and they could tell me. T-mobile CS has been able to tell me before too lol.
You have to ask tmobile customer service if there are any outages, otherwise they don't tend to check until they cold-transfer you to the android support team. As far as the market issues, to access the market with tmobile you do need a mobile data connection. If I turn off data and only have wifi I am unable to authenticate market. You'll notice when accessing market either your 3g or H symbol will show up for a few seconds.
Oh well at least it was only an outage

Hello,
I have a Galaxy Nexus with the stock ROM. Rooted running 4.0.2. I had Market Enabler running to switch to the T-Mobile Network. This setup had been working fine for a couple of weeks now. All of a sudden today, after I visited the Google Play store online for some reason I can now no longer make phone calls!
Market Enabler will not load any longer at all. It doesn't force close, I just get a blank screen. I tried removing it's root permissions. Then clearing the cache and deleting it but no good. I tried reinstalling it, no good.
Anyone have any ideas? I've tried rebooting the phone a couple of times and no help either!
I've tried restoring from backup using the Rom Manager to the original and still doesn't work!
I'm kinda bumping so that I get help!
phone calls are not related to market enabler..
what else u did on ur phone? we need other infos
sms works?
ur phone show signal?
3g works?
or only calls doesn't work?

Thanks for replying. Nothing works, no SMS, no 3G. Wifi does, but nothing related to the "sim". The network signal comes and goes, but I can't do anything related to it.
If u go in settings - info about ur phone, can u see ur baseband radio info or there is some "unknown" ?
That would mean ur efs partition get corrupted probably, which is not good sometimes

got an old phone to test your SIM?
Rooted&Unlocked Nexus can't make calls or SMS; connects to internet ok from network
I'm having a similar problem. Got the nexus from a friend and tried to activate it on my phone line and the Verizon tech reps say it looks like the activation is "stuck at the switch". Checked the ESN (clean), checked authenticity (ok), not on a lost/stolen list... can't figure out what the issue is.
Any suggestions? this has been pretty frustrating...
A bit of background:
- Did a factory data reset (wiped devlik, data, cache)
- Getting 4G signal; can connect to the internet/sync data
- 3 new SIM cards attempted in the past 3 days; currently on 1 for the past day
- Tried *228, updated roaming; can't activate phone (says call a rep)
Try a factory reset. A friend of mine had an issue about making phone calls on his Galaxy S II and a few reboots made the phone talk again.
Alternatively, shut down the phone, pull battery for a few hours. Put battery back in phone, boot up. Sometimes things get a little FUBAR'd and battery pulls can solve some problems.
still not working...
Looks like things went through the verizon switch....but still can't call or text.
Would unrooting fix it? Did a factory reset again and pulled battery and sim... unfortunately no change
Running CM11 on PagePlus. I cannot access the Internet. I was able to at one time. Thought it was the Rom so I flash CM10.1 and Stock rooted rom. I reactivated the phone after the installs. Every time it says the network is connected but I cannot connect to the Internet or send MMS. Starting to think it is the phone. Any ideas?
More info:
IP address is applied. Able to ping ip address but not some other known ip address. Traceroute does one hop to 66.174.216.161, which seems to be a Verizon ISP. Might try playing with apns-config.xml. I had tried the one I had when it was working previously but did not seem to change anything.
I'm new, but had similar problems

I'm not sure the MMS issue has been resolved, as of yet. Last time I check the Development thread it seemed like there wasn't yet a fix. Someone will correct me shortly if I'm mistaken, I'm sure.
The data problem you're having is one that I struggled with for a couple weeks in CM11... I don't know how much help I can be, because I'm not really sure what ended up actually fixing it for my dINC. All I know is that I spent about three hours dirty flashing and restoring from nand backups, sometimes the full backup and sometimes just partitions. I also threw in a *228 somewhere in there. Anyways, Through persistence, and sheer dumb luck, I finally have a pretty stable data connection, as long as I don't use the mode switcher in DUbattery(that seems to mess 3g up until reboot).
sometimes it helps to toggle airplane mode on then off.
Thanks for the tip. I toggled airplane mode on and off. I could then load google in the browser but it would not do anything after that. I have a new inc and an OG Evo coming in. Might have to retire my inc for the kid to play games on. My wife is using and OG Evo with no data or mms problems on 10.1 and I am sort of digging the larger screen. Also might be able to help zach with troubleshooting cm11 for the evo (supersonic).

Glad to know it was not just my phone. I am back on your 2/17 build and was worried there was some leftover firewall stuff even though I wiped everything except emmc and sd-card before the flash.
On another note. I have that other EVO coming in so should be able to load up CM11 and do some logging for you.
So I switched mobile data off this weekend with the silent profile and when I switched it back on using the default profile my data worked.

I'm glad you found a fix! On my dINC, I don't use the profiles, and mobile data crashes randomly. After flashing the March 23rd build, it has gotten somewhat better, but it always seems to skip out when I need it most... specifically.... when I use Google voice search to either dictate text messages or navigate to an address(delivery driver). the latter is especially frustrating, because I only use the navi when I'm already out of the store and can't find something, so no alternative available. Sometimes, even when the 3g symbol is full in status bar, I'll push the voice button and it will say, "cannot reach google *** etc" :crying:
Hello all!
I am having constant data issues all day where I go to use an app that needs it, it says that no data connection can be found or something. I turn the radio off, turn it back on and then it works. It's a good work-around but it does get very annoying. I've tried multiple 4.4.2 roms but no avail. I tried a different kernel but I couldn't even use the phone. Any ideas?
Same for me; I'm rooted now but it happened before root and after the JB ota updates. Annoying but otherwise I love this phone
I think this has been a known issue since ICS (I could be wrong though).
If anyone knows a fix that would be cool (I have GSM google play gnex)
My issues started late last night, lost data connection and it didn't come back. On my way home, it connected then lost again at home. Went to Verizon today and they couldn't figure it out, said possibly the radio is taking a crap.
On my way to work, it connects then gone. I tried flashing the radio, pulled battery, booted without sim, formatted cache and delvic. I have tried everything and think it's the end of the line for it
I've been rooted since the day I got it and had the issue once a while back but it straightened out and has been great since.
Certain CyanogenMod ROMs have trouble with the Network Modes sticking. Which carrier are you using? For my carrier, I had to have the correct APNs set to get 4G and MMS working. It might be that this is the problem in most cases, especially when the phone switches between 4G and 3G in spotty areas.
