Hi! I just rooted and installed CM7 (stable) onto the Incredible. I tried activating the phone via the onscreen activate button and also by dialing #228, but after it says its been "activated" and to wait for at least 15 minutes to go into effect, it still isn't activated. then when i try to use the phone it tells me something BS about connecting to an operator to make a collect call.
i THINK i need to manually program and activate the phone, but i'm not getting an clear instructions on how to do it properly. can anyone here help me with this please? thanks for your time. cheers...
I would go back to the stock Rom to activate.

Reboot the phone and try again. Press *228 on the dial pad, then option 1 to reprogram and enable 3G. Although it says it takes 15 minutes, it should work instantaneously. At least, this method worked for me. Good luck.
Certain that you are entering the right credentials for the google account tied to the device?

if i go back to the stock rom and activate it (assuming it worked), what happens when i flash CM7 back onto the phone? does it still retain its activation? or will the "activated status" go away because i wiped the data/dalvik/cache?
Activation shouldn't go away unless you deactivate the phone through verizon. I've flashed different ROMs and I don't have to reactivate my phone.
cool. i'll figure out how to revert back to stock tonight. i hope there's a "how to". thanks.
Download this:
http://dougpiston.com/files/RUU/bui...and-2.15.00.07.28-hboot-0.92.0000_PB31IMG.zip
Rename it so it's just "PB31IMG.zip" (make sure your file extensions are un-hidden, so you don't inadvertently name it to "PB31IMG.zip.zip"), and make sure your SD card is FAT32.
Now boot into HBoot, and it should detect the file automatically after a few seconds and ask if you would like to apply the update. Press Vol-Up for Yes. Let it flash.
awesome. thanks! i'll give it shot tonight when i leave work.
still no dice
well... tonight i installed the stock image. i'm still getting the "please hold while we transfer your call to an external operator" after activating (whether it be via online or *228). i noticed that there wasn't even an option to activate via on-screen after installing the stock software, with the CM7 ROM it would show an activate button after rebooting.
a few minutes ago i just reflashed S-ON and reflashed the stock image. it's still doing the same thing. something is up with the phone i guess. beyond my know-how and capabilities. the main reason i put S-ON back is so the phone can be sent back to Verizon. i'm thinking its gotta be a hardware issue if i've done everything you guys have suggested.
thanks anyways, guys. its not my phone, but a friend that i was trying to do this for. makes me glad i'm with another carrier where instead of activating, i just need my SIM card. hopefully i'll have better luck with the replacement they send.
Has he talked to Verizon about the problem? A similar thing happened to me with a phone that's ESN wasn't clear (ebay - ended up getting refunded). The phone wasn't reported lost/stolen or anything?
the hasn't been reported lost/stolen. and the phone has been with the original owner.

[SIZE=+1]Q1: How to Root and Unlock bootloader.[/SIZE]
There is a Guide
[SIZE=+1]Q2: FreeGee, Unlocking, Bootloader, Freezing, Stuck on LG/4GLTE screen problems?[/SIZE]
If FreeGee for some reason doesn't work, and/or softbricks, you have three options:
1. Use the "mako" unlock. This is now the preferred method. Mako unlock will show a "Google" logo on bootup. The other unlock shows the LG logo, but has potential to softbrick.
2. If you have LGNPST you can use teeny bins
Need info on LGNPST or need it? Here In "Additional Section".
Or in the irc. Here
3. LGFlashTool - Unbricking and Firmware flashing
This is a new option. (Repair Center Thorough) It seems to only work if your bootloader is locked. (It will show **971 which is not our model)
If you're stuck at the "4GLTE" screen: To get to stock recovery - Power off phone. You need to hold power button for about 20 sec to get it to turn off. Then press and hold vol down+power - The LG logo will come on, then the capacitive lights. Immediately let go when the capacitive lights turn on. It takes a few seconds to work. Data wipe/Factory reset. Reboot.
If you're stuck at the "LG" screen, Or the LG screen flashes, then goes black:
Make sure you are powering off the phone by pressing and holding the "Power" button for at least 20+ seconds, then release.
Press vol up+power should get you into Fastboot.
And if you happen to reboot into STOCK recovery and the power button will not select, use the "menu" button on the capacitive lights (far right when holding it) to get it to accept your commands.
LGNPST does not like USB 3.0 ports. Use USB 2.0 ports.
If you can get into download mode, use LGNPST. Use the ZVB/ZVC bin file.
If you can get into recovery, flash a ROM
You might have to do a battery pull
You will need a Torx T4 for the bottom screws, and a 00 Philips for the battery connector. Just be very delicate, especially when disconnecting the terminal.
If you get the Secure booting error. You have no recovery installed. Or you removed apps without being unlocked. You'll need to use LGNPST to fix it.
You can also go Here for more help. ie ADB Sideload
If all else fails, go to the IRC.

[SIZE=+1]Q3: If your battery is dead, stuck in a bootloop, and won't boot unless on a charger.
Plug your phone in for a couple hours with a wall charger. If it stays off, great. If not, press and hold the power button for 20+ sec. That will turn it off. Plugged or plugged in, not sure which. Try both.
After a couple hours take it off the charger and boot into recovery. Vol down+ power release when capacitive lights come on. This should get you into "Stock" recovery. Which is what you should have if unrooted.
Then use power button to go down, and "factory reset". Use the capacitive menu key, far right key, to activate the reset. It should boot up. If not, turn it off 20+sec and charge it a couple more hours. Unplug it, then turn it on.
[SIZE=+1]Q4: Lack of memory/SD space?[/SIZE]
On stock based ROM's, delete "logcat" in internal SD.
On CM based ROM's, look in /mnt/shell/emulated/0 for "logcat" and delete.
[Size=+1]Q5: "0" folder showing up on SD? "TWRP does not see files"[/Size]
If going between CM Roms and Stock roms, keep both. Copy root to "0" folder. Easiest way
[Size=+1]Q6: Brightness won't increase? Or says too hot?[/Size]
Problem with LG. Deal with it.
Here's some info on it.
[Size=+1]Q7: Demigod crash/Kernel crash?[/Size]
Reboot, all is well. LG Problem.
Here's some info on it.
[Size=+1]Q8: Stock Wifi tethering apps.[/Size]
With ZVB and ZVC Stock it'll only work 1 per reboot. Meaning either Wifi, OR Wifi tether per reboot. Sometimes it'll require 2 reboots as Wifi will turn itself on two times. Check this before using Wifi tether.
I use "Wireless Tether for Root Users".
Settings are: Generic ICS/JB (Wlan0), Wifi encryption checked. No other settings changed.
There is also a TrevEmod version in these forums. I don't know those setting for sure.
[Size=+1]Q9: CM and AOSP issues.[/Size]
4.4 To install KK Roms, you will need the modded TWRP or CWM recoveries. Those can be found Here
To restore any nandroid ROM backups, you need to use the recovery the backup was made with. ( If you backed up using 2.5.0.0 then restore with it. If you're using the KK 2.6.3.0, it will not restore a 2.5.0.0 backup.
4.2 has Camera issues. Read in the thread you are using for the fix.
4.3 has the Camera fixed.
[Size=+1]Q10: When using JB, Stockish or CM based ROM's, you MUST use the ZVB/ZVC radio/modem.[/Size]
In stock it's 1690. In CM its 10646
Here
Here
[Size=+1]Q11: I've lost EFS/data/phone service[/Size]
Hopefully you'll be able to fix it by updating Profile/PRL. Settings>System Updates
To update profile/PRL you need to be on a stock ROM. So if you are running a CM based ROM, You will need to Flash/Restore a Stock based ROM, update profile/PRL, then go back to your CM ROM that you backed up in TWRP. Hopefully.
If you've lost your EFS, then you better hope you've backed it up in TWRP, Freegee, or autoprimes-Create flashable zip for EFS. Which is this file
If you didn't heed all the warnings posted all over, then you'll need to go Here for starters. This has all the information to help you, but be warned that it can be a complex fix.
[Size=+1]Q12: Can't get GPS lock on CM based ROM's[/Size]
For this, you will need to go back to Stock Based ROM also
If you are running a CM based ROM: Flash/Restore a Stock based ROM, get a GPS lock, then restore, or flash back to CM ROM.
Another new option is to Flash/restore your EFS. Seems to be working well. Here
[Size=+1]Q13: How to force getting ZVC update notice / Disable update nag screen. How to Manually update to ZVC[/Size]
Force Update - Go to Settings>Apps>All>Google services framework - clear data. Then go to Settings>System Updates - and update profile/Prl, Update LG Software.
Disable nag screen - Edit the build.prop - theres 3 or 4 references to ZVB. Change them to ZVC
To manually update to ZVC. Here

Thanks!
It's nice having this all in one place. Thanks!
Ok, long story short, after the Sense 5 update, the Bluetooth was completely messed up for me. Not only did the "Visible to All Devices" option never stick with each consecutive toggle, it never seemed to work or pair correctly with any other device and required me to constantly un-pair said device and re-pair it. This plagued me for a while till I was playing around with the Bluetooth configs in the system while working on my ROM. What I did was essentially edit the configs to make the settings stick.
IMPORTANT
When I tested it on my ROM, I lost the ability to make Bluetooth "Only Visible to Paired Devices" and could only switch between "Visible to nearly all devices" and "Never visible" or something similar. However, when I created a flashable zip and tried it on ARHD, everything worked fine with no missing options. Remember, anything could go wrong. I ended up with missing options, you may end up with crippled Bluetooth altogether. Always make a backup or have a ROM zip lying around to reflash in case of emergency
What does this MOD do ?
1. Makes sure toggles such as "Visible to nearly all devices" sticks after toggling Bluetooth On/Off
2. Fixes any Bluetooth issues when switching Bluetooth On/Off such as device connecting errors like I faced
3. Less issues when using A2DP (doesn't require constant un-pairing and re-pairing to make it work like it did most of the time)
Intructions
1. Download the ZIP
2. Make a backup (unless you have the balls to go through with no backup plan )
3. Flash the ZIP
Optional - 4. Wipe dalvik cache & cache
5. Reboot and enjoy
Download MOD
Download Rollback zip to undo chnages
Uses in other ROMs
ROM devs and chefs alike are allowed to use this MOD in their work. You don't need to drop me a PM or anything, just give credits and link this thread in your Changelogs to avoid issues with my MOD cluttering up your ROM thread.
Notes
1. I made this MOD to solve a problem I faced with Sense 5. It has solved my problem, it may solve yours too if you have the same. If it doesn't, refrain from posting negative posts here.
2. This is the first time I've attempted tampering with the system configs to such a degree to fix a problem such as this. If you feel there are ways I can improve on this MOD, please feel free to advise me or give suggestions.
3, If you face any issue, be patient with me. Like I said, this is my first time attempting something like this and I only succeeded by sheer luck.
I will get around to making a rollback zip for this MOD to save you guys the time and trouble of making backups till then, hope this helps
I would like to try this as A2DP usually fails to connect for me. I have to open up bluetooth settings, disable media streaming and then re-tick it to get it working which is inconvenient.
Could you upload it to a site that I don't have to sign up to to download? Thanks
Done

Added a rollback zip. Flash it if you want your old bluetooth back
Thanks mate but I flashed the zip and sadly it didn't fix my connection error. Do I have to delete and re-add my bluetooth adaptor? I didn't get chance to try this earlier.

Sadly it hasn't worked. Same problems as before. Slide the phone onto the car cradle, bluetooth turns on and phone audio connects but not media. Slide off and back on again and all connects ok... most times.
NO matter what Rom I put on after this happens there is no network,,wireless works fine and so does the roms. Right after I rommed the ASOP latest nightly I called to make sure it was working fine and it was..Let ggogle put all my applications on and update them and went to bed,..When I woke up there was no network...So i used recovery and used 3 or 4 of my backups but none of them solved the network problem. I opened up backups to see if there was a file missing and I cant find any...Im willing to send some $ if someone can help me. By the way this has happened 3 times before but all sprint guys do is get me another phone and Im afraid thats going to be stopping soon..I just need to find out why this is happening so it doesnt happen again..thanks

Sounds like a problem i had before. It is your baseband version. To fix you need to flash a stock/ish rom. In dialer do ##786# it will reset everything. Once you perform hands free activation you should be back up and running. After that make sure you flash a good mc2 baseband. After that you should be fine.
Quick question. You are on sprint and only flashing roms for the sprint phone? I have this happen when working on a couple ports from other note 2 variants.

Steps to hopefully fix your issues. Read through and download and copy all links to external sdcard before starting.
1. Perform a backup of everything (rom, internal sdcard)
2. Flash this twrp file from your current recovery http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/t0ltespr/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0ltespr.img
3. Under reboot options choose reboot recovery
4. Now in twrp choose wipe/format and select data, system, cache, and internal scard (/data/media)
5. Go back and select the data wipe option then type yes
6. When done go to reboot menu and reboot recovery
7. Now install Billards back to stock mc2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769 but do not reboot and do not wipe anything
8. Now install this to gain root (do not use twrp's root option) http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1584076&d=1356201390
9. Now you can reboot. The red light will come on and phone will display weird stuff then reboot.
10. Now it will take some time to boot but you will be on stock mc2 with everything updated to latest mc2 setting.
11. Dial ##786# phone will reboot
12. Dial ##"your msl"# and change both number sets to 10 0's once done phone will reboot
13. Do Hands free activation. If that does not work dial *228 and let that run if phone does not reboot reboot it yourself.
Now if everything went according to plan you should now have full service. Since this updated everything to factory stock mc2 you will need to install a custom recovery again. Also the mc2 baseband provided with the rom has always been stable to for me. Since I am flashed to cricket I had to reflash the phone everytime this happened to me but thankfully I flash it myself so it was easy.

Do have IMEI under about phone/status? Does it display your number or anything?
Sounds like you need to Odin flash a stock firmware with tz, param and modem..With a pit file so it flashes to the correct partition..
I'm on Verizon and this happened to me..lost everything under status..I flashed what I stated above and it fixed everything. .
If that doesn't work flash your KIES image and after re root and unlock your phone:thumbup:

Did you try and flash the zip I posted? It sets your carrier partitions! It is for the Sprint Galaxy Note 2...I've used it...it works. Just saying it couldn't hurt to try.

What about flashing the mk4 rom of your choice, then flash the newest mk4 modem..? I have the file if needed. Works great!

the phone is only 2 week old with the latest kit-kat installed from them..I think I read somewhere that if you go backwards to and older rom like mk2 it screws the phone up because of the knox??? anyway yes I flashed it but honestly Ive done so many things ,so many times,,,every modem, mk2, mk4, rooted , unrooted , different recovery...I even got the note 2 toolkit updated donated version...nothing is working,perhaps the order in which i do these things may be off but when the phone is supposed to reboot it doesnt , when its supposed to show a number it doesnt..actually the more I do to it the worse it gets..It will go into recovery and odin mode, but some of the things that were sure fire arent even working...Yes as long as still have the phone i would try it can you send me a link for those files..thanks
Rooted Sprint Galaxy S6 on Lollipop 5.1.1 with Teamwin recovery

Sporadically lags a bit everywhere, but I cannot receive incoming calls. I use another phone to test and it rings on the calling phone several times, goes to my voicemail and THEN rings on my phone and of course can't be answered. It just hangs there all greyed out until I hang up and takes like 20 seconds for the phone app to disappear. Other times it doesn't even ring at all on my phone. I can make outgoing calls.
The Sprint support guy took me through re-provisioning the phone with some dial pad codes, he did something to the SIM card too , I've uninstalled Drupe (which has been great) and reinstalled it. Tried both when on and off the phone. No difference
Wiped both the cache partition and the davlik cache.
This started a couple days ago when the phone rebooted ITSELF without my touching it and then booted back up into an error that said "Unfortunately, NetworkSystemProvider has stopped.". Couldn't do anything. Tapping OK made it go away for half a second and it was back. A friend of mine managed to get some Sprint specific thing either disabled or yanked and the error went away. Everything seemed to be fine. I'm not sure when the phone issue started exactly or even if it's related to that situation or not. I just noticed today that someone was calling me and I couldn't answer. (I do most of my communications online and don't get that many phone calls, but the ones I do get are very important)
Oh yeah, I reseated the SIM after an error saying there wasn't one after the Sprint guy sent some info to it and that went away.
i am at total loss here. The Sprint guy of course wants to wipe the phone. That would be a monstrous drag for all the reasons you guys already know for a phone that has been working great for over a year like it is.
Please be my new hero and tell me what to do if anybody knows. I have good PC skills and SOME with Android, but this is beyond me.
Thank you SO much.
It also keeps re-sending me old txts
The Sprint store gave me a new SIM card and that didn't fix it either. Restoring a TWRP full image restore from April didn't fix it. A factory wipe in Teamwin recovery didn't fix it. Same exact symptoms no matter what I do.
Ring ring ring ring ring on the calling phone, it finally rings on mine, but is already in voicemail on the calling phone. Once in a GREAT while it will ring just a bit earlier on mine and it will flutter between being greyed out on the answer screen (all the options like speaker etc) and eventually connect the call after a second or two. Nobody I can find has ever seen anything like this. This S6 was working absolutely flawlessly for well over a year.
It also appears I am not usually getting incoming txt messages either, but I am getting only certain old ones repeatedly. Sometimes old voicemails too. It's almost more like it's a remote server issue somewhere.
I hate to say it, but it sounds like your phone is failing and will need to be replaced. But before you do that, here is a relatively easy thing to try:
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...uide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862
Using Odin, flash the latest firmware. You are at 5.11, the latest is 6.01. That will restore you to stock OS, take away root and TWRP, but you'll be able to restore those. You shouldn't have any data loss.
Once that is done, go to Settings and System Update and then Update PRL and Profile. See if that solves it. If it does, you can quickly Root and Recovery again.
Good luck!

How do I prepare the phone for the new image if I have Teamwin installed?

TWRP (or Teamwin if you like) won't be an issue. Download Odin on your PC, download the zipped TAR file in the first post of my link. Extract the .MD5 in the zip to the same directory as Odin (you don't really have to, this is just convenient. Install the latest Samsung drivers to your PC, make sure that your computer recognizes the phone. Put the phone into Download mode. (Hold the Volume Down, Home and Power buttons at the same time.) Plug the phone into your computer. If the com light lights up in Odin, you are good to go. Flash the TAR using the AP slot in Odin.
This sounds like a lot, but it is easier to do than for me to tell you. But WAIT! In my linked post, there is a video that will walk you through it all!

How easy is that? The only thing that Tim says that is no longer true is that data won't be wiped by default.
OOPS WROTE THIS BEFORE I SAW YOU REPLIED LEMME LOOK
I'm sorry man. I'm actually a seasoned PC support guy. I know I'm being a pain. I don't have muich experience with these phones though and it's been 14 months since I flashed this one. I don't know what most of that means over there.
I don't have the regular recovery. I have Teamwin. There IS an ADB side load function in there. Is that what I use in place of the regular download mode? If so, won't that leave Teamwion on the phone since that's what I'm using? Sprint won't give me another one while it's on there.
How do I know if Odin is seeing the phone? It doesn't appear to act like it knows my phone is attached to the computer. Does it have to be in download mode that I'm trying to find out how to get into here
Forgive my abject ignorance please.

Here is where I'm lost. Holding the three buttons does not give me an option for download that I can find. It puts me in the Teamwin interface.

Could you be holding the Volume Up button, not the Volume Down button by mistake?
Doesn't matter. If you are in TWRP and you select "Reboot" one of the options should be Download. That will do the same thing for you.
You can also install something like this (if you are rooted) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jc.rebootmanager
And one last thing. You need to have your phone in Download mode to be seen by Odin.
Oh goodness me!! I AM A MORON!!
I have been using the volume UP and other two buttons. Not down LOL! For Pete's sake. Aren't I jist a ninny :angel:
Let's try this now

Yes, that's what I was doing
It is restarting now, but didn't actually erase anything. It looks like it just upgraded to Marshmallow. However, I am being barraged with txt messages so maybe it fixed it. I'll let you know. Thank you very much for your patience.
That fixed it!!! The phone works!!! I didn't even lose any of my data or pix or contacts or anything.
Now all I gotta do is get ROOT back and TWRP reinstalled.
Thank YOU sir!! The other fella too. His instructions probably would have worked if I had pressing the right button.

Yep, those are done and now installing adaway. Thanks again very much. I wouldn't blame you for finding it hard to believe after this, but I actually do have substantial computer skills overall, just not with these phones

No worries, I'm not judging.
I am really good with PCs, Windows and Linux. Good with Android. But Apple devices? My daughter had to show me how to use my iPod.

It looks to be all good now. Thanks again very much.
What I don't understand is why a known good TWRP recovery from months ago didn't fix it, but an OS upgrade did. You'd think that both should work or not. Its' the same phone and a full backup from when it worked fine. Oh well. I'm just glad it did work.
X-Posed?
While I have you here. You don't happen to have a guide for installing X-Posed on this phone do you? I have the zip installed from TWRP, but when I go to install the APK from within the OS I get what you see in this screen and the guy who's guide I was following doesn't respond. It occurred to me that koop1955 might know. Thanks. Even if you don't.
