Need Help, No Service, after installing CyanogenMOD 10.1

No Service, after installing CyanogenMOD 10.1
Tried following the steps outlined in this post but do not feel totally comfortable in saying I did it correctly as that post is not specifically for Incredible 2's and the instructions are not very clear.
I can obviously follow instructions, as I have gotten this far issue free. But his foggy instructions and the lack of files specific to this issue for Dinc2's make fixing this a little tricky.
Has anyone else seen this issue on a dinc2?

No other users have had loss of Cell service (No reception, zero bars) from Cyanogenmod 10.1?
Or said differently, Borked Radio's...

Not that I know of
One ROM @ a time....VIA ELECTRICITY

Last night I did a Factory restore from within Clockwork, then downloaded an un-rooted stock rom from this site (very bottom rom) dropped it on the root of the sd card and renamed it to PG32IMG.zip and rebooted to install the stock rom. (This will NOT remove s-off, see results of the reinstall picture below)

After this the phone rebooted a few times and I figured it was just not working so I went to bed, then woke up did some stuff and then went to supper with the family. after we got home I picked up the phone and noticed that the phone had reception bars, so I did *228 and it started to initiate the activation and it actually started the process, but I hung up.
I then proceeded to re install clockwork recovery. after this was installed, the phone just boots over and over, did this for about 15 minutes before I pulled the battery and re initiated a Factory Reset from within clockwork. after rebooting from this factory reset, there was no reception again. so I then pulled, from the vzw stock zip, the file named recovery_signed.img and placed it into the same directory as my adb & fastboot files, pulled the battery from the phone, rebooted into hboot, chose fastboot and ran:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
After boot loader rebooted, I selected bootloader to get back to Fastboot, chose recovery, rebooted into phone which was once again re-boot looping. Will try more after work tomorrow, too tired right now.

Last night, cleared the caches out several times each, then factory restored twice in a row, then installed clockworkmod, reinstalled the "andyBONESTOCK_5.10.605.9" image, then, re installed the radio image "6.01.605.05 OTA 1.09.01.0312" twice in a row. Still had no service.....
Went to work, got home and the friggin thing has service.... wtf
So I reboot the phone and now it has no service..... Anyone have any ideas?

Problems solved. Must have had a corrupted radio file. Found a different source, installed, all is good.

which radio, from where, link?

I tried the .320 radio here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134451
and it bricked my phone, HBOOT (revolution), said invalid, then installed it and the phone was bricked. Took forever to recover even HBOOT and then revolution and that was reset plus Android SDK, adb.
Used ChillyBean's 10.1 , May 9 13 build date, plus Kernel from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315062
But the audio for phone calls can give no sound at all. Bugs seem to be in services, like one audio driver doesn't release the audio, or turn it off so it cannot be turned on when the phone call is made, or some audio routing problem from the call (radio) to the audio HW (any, speaker, mic, bluetooth, headset).
I can tell it is this because if I turn audio on/off before the phone call enough times I get back the actual call in progress audio.
I'm using 0.312 but the last thing to try is the radios but the ones at the first link are at minimum corrupted.
I also don't get the overall source tree for CM10.1, I thought you had to have a build for specific HW vs. taking just the nightly? Is there a build tree for DINC2 from the CM10.1 nightlies?
The current no sound during phone call is a real bug and not specific to my HW, something isn't releasing or turning on or routing the audio via the 3GGP/CDMA call path. Dunno the actual path in HW for the voice communications.
This should be in dev. thread but the system won't let me post due to newbie status.

Well, I eventually got only a few roms to work without issues to my liking.
The one I am using right now, is the one I first got my phone back up running issue free, that is Team Venom Presents ViperINC 1.3.1 Sense4.1...
The radio inside the ics firmware listed at the very top of the 1st post for Team Venom Presents ViperINC 1.3.1 Sense4.1 is where you get the ics firmware.
I am almost 100% sure the Android Harpoon Repository has the radio I am using now as well as several other roms and kernals, all of which have had NO ISSUES for all that I have tried.
Hope you get things working correctly. and make SURE, to correctly get the radio and or Kernal files installed correctly, you simply rename the firmware ZIP file, that has all the .IMG files inside, to be named PG32IMG.zip and place it in the ROOT of your sd card and reboot to it. do this AFTER you have installed the rom. And YES, it takes some time to get things working corectly immediately after installing the firmware PG32IMG.zip file, so BE PATIENT, go take a poop, eat a meal, get some poontang. when you come back, all should be good.
And though it may seem stupid... Put the back cover on your phone, so your antenna connections are complete.
The when your all done, things show promise, connect your phone to your PC and open windows explrer and delete that PG32IMG.zip so it doesnt repeatedly install over and over.

Thanks Akinraze

Your post helped me so much. I've been working on the phone all day because it said there was no service. Turns out since I was working on it without the back, since I needed to go into fastboot so many times, the antenna wasn't completed. The signal in my house turns out to be just weak enough for it to barely show up with the back on. Thanks again.

FreedomPop activation - reset necessary?

You all likely heard about FreedomPop's new beta this week featuring a "guaranteed 500 MBs of data, 500 text messages, and 200 anytime voice minutes for free each month."
http://www.freedompop.com/byod
Our phone is one of the supported models.
After you sign up, which involves giving them your phone's MEID and getting a new phone number, you're instructed to dial ##786# (which just ends in a dialing error for me), select the "reset" option, and use the MSL that they give you (which may be wrong, btw, so check it) to reset the phone and reboot.
Clarification: OK, so I discovered that the format is as follows for this phone, but I'm looking to avoid it: *#*#786#*#*
I don't want to reset my phone, however, and no one can explain why it's needed. Ting doesn't need it to activate:
https://help.ting.com/entries/25654386-Activating-a-BYOD-Phone-with-a-New-Number
Why does FreedomPop and is there any way around it? Surely there is.

Hmm. I just set up an account, gave them my MEID, updated profile and PRL and downloaded the app and didn't have to do any kind of reset whatsoever.

I think I've now seen those other instructions, where they say to do a carrier wipe (*#*#72786#*#*), system update, profile update, and PRL update, so I tried that but was met with an immediate roadblock: you can't do those things on CM. So now I have to temporarily go back to a stock ROM. Sigh.
First, can you at least confirm that data will work on 3G? Because that's all I have in my area.
Second, if I do go back to a stock ROM and make the above changes, will a Nandroid of my CM, later restored, wipe out those changes?

Well I am on TouchWiz (Project X) so probably. Idk about restoring a nand as this is my first day on it. 3G works great, seems like it uses Sprints towers (they mention Wimax on the website). So I would say flash back to TouchWiz, set everything up, make a backup and then try restoring your other backup. I would think after you're all set up you should be good because everything is done through their app. Kinda like Groove IP but with real service included.
PS- I didn't even do the carrier wipe

There, these are the instructions I got via email

I ended up going this route to update profile/PRL, and it worked:
http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/2012/05/temporary-stock-e4gt-from-emmc.html
One unfortunate thing is that when you update profile, it forces a reboot, and when you reboot doing the above you go right back into CWM. So you have to install the ROM again just to get back in to GB so that you can also update the PRL. No doubt there's a better way of going about this, but I don't know what it is.
Anyway, once you've done that, you can intentionally go back to CWM and put CM back on. Nothing is lost in the process.

Could I get some help in figuring out why my epic 4g touch, which was on a Sprint account until 3 days ago.. and working fine... was not able to activate thru freedompop's website.
It said that the device was not supported. Anyone have an idea why this would occur?

Due to MSL-related issues or something else, they rolled back the devices that they're accepting. It is just a beta. As of 4 days ago, this was the list:
http://slickdeals.net/f/6449794-fre...voice-text-data-plans?p=63469084#edit63469084
Believe it or not, Facebook seems to be their primary support outlet, so perusing messages there should give you more current information. If you send them a private message, they're also good about responding. Fortunately, I signed up on the first day (which is not activating, btw), and that must be enough to bless you for later activation, since I only did that this weekend (after our device had been temporarily dropped from the list).

Oh, OK, so the order apparently doesn't matter. I might have tried that but I didn't know that the original order would ask for a reboot, so it was too late.

Install backup of Sprint Update app?
I'm hoping to resurrect this thread, but if it doesn't work, I'll start a new one.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 SPH-D710 that I'm using on FreedomPop. I've been able to successfully activate it on FreedomPop and get calls, texts, and data on a stock rom. I'd like to use Cyanogenmod 11, but I haven't been able to get the FreedomPop activation to work. I've tried flashing a stock rom, doing a prl and profile update, then flashing CM again, but can't get it to work.
While tinkering with the phone I had an idea: If I backup the Sprint Update app that updates the profile and prl on a stock rom with Titanium Backup or Root Uninstaller or something similar, can I then install the .apk that's generated on a CM install? I've tried this, but haven't been able to get it to work yet. Anyone with more knowledge have any ideas on this? I could post the apk I generated, if that would help.

I was able to get advanced calling back on my line. I was currently on Andy Bone's Fluent Rom but I lost my advanced calling feature when I first switched to Neo's Adrenaline Rom.
1) Log into your phones account on Verizon Wireless website, go to manage my apps and features and turn off advanced calling on your line.
2) The message from Verizon says to wait 15 minutes to see the changes take effect. During this time, I downloaded Dotatt's RUU.
3) RUU'd back to stock and then enabled the advanced calling feature on the PHONE
4) I did not restart my phone because it was downloading the OTA (2.xx to be specific). The OTA restarted the phone.
5) Advanced calling was back! Then I took the next OTA to 3.xxx
6) Advanced calling was still enabled, after the 3.xxx OTA, So then I installed TWRP/Root (all in one restart)
7) I then created a nandroid backup of my stock rooted configuration.
8) I then installed Andybone's deodexxed 5.1.1 Rom. (I wanted to install Fluent but I could not find confirmation that it works well with the new FW)
9) Now my phone is stock 5.1.1 with Xposed Modules installed and is running flawlessly with Advanced calling!!
The only reason I cared for advanced calling was because it would cut out my streaming music from Plex and then it would have trouble getting reconnected, now it never disconnects so when I receive calls i no longer have any issues.
Obviously your mileage may vary but I think this is an effective method of getting advanced calling back without having to send your phone into HTC.

Thanks for the post, I also lost advanced calling after a rom flash and have tried a similar process with no luck. I'll try again following your exact steps when i get the chance and report back.
Edit: No luck for me, followed the above steps exactly and still no advanced calling. I'd pretty much done the same before but just rebooted before applying the 1st OTA, tried again in the hopes that letting the ota install first would kick something in. Seems like some folks lose Volte permanently once it's gone with the only known resolution getting a replacement device. Guess i'm one of the lucky ones.
I may play with this some more but am giving up hope, and have not gotten very far with Verizon online support either. They just stated everything looked fine on their end after "looking into it" then closed the ticket, and just getting to that point took 3 different chat sessions with 3 different reps. I asked the last one I chatted with if this must be an issue with my specific device and if it should be replaced, to which the answer was a generic "well everything looks good so it should be working. if you have any more issues call 1-800-whatever" then they ended the session.

I was worried I had lost VoLTE for good, thanks for this. Worked like a charm! I can't stand not having data while in call. lol.

...and this is why Verizon works so hard to lock their phones down. Someone breaks a feature by loading non-VZW firmware, expects VZW to provide support for the phone, and gets mad (!!!) when VZW can't fix an issue of the user's own making.

You got me there, though i wouldn't really say that i'm "mad (!!!)" about losing VoLTE lol, just at VZW's support in general. I did my (very thorough) research before modifying anything on my device, and am not new to modifying devices or software. I was fully aware of the risks involved (including that some folks were reporting loss of VoLTE after device modifications) and pulled the trigger anyways, as the benefits outweigh the possible risks IMO.
But the truth is they don't know why it's broke, and if it could be fixed simply by sending me a new sim or a reconfiguration on their end of the network or something then I wanted to at least investigate. But their support for me has just been plain unhelpful in every way on numerous items, unless you like having scripted responses that aren't even relevant to your question/issue regurgitated to you at every turn.
And why do you have any sympathy in this scenario for the multi-billion dollar mega-corporation whose restrictions are what brought many of us here in the first place anyways? Maybe just playing devil's advocate?

If you're not mad, you shouldn't use the mad emoticon. If you break it, you own both pieces. It's unreasonable to expect them to know or spend any time trying to figure out why modified firmware breaks things. Can you point to someone who's always had stock firmware who's had VoLTE issues which VZW hasn't been able to fix?

more M9 Advanced Calling
If you know for sure that Advanced Calling is enabled on your line and it's not working now:
Just discovered that after 100% stock factory reset, then enable Advanced Calling on the phone, it will work perfectly
on first request. The feature will continue to work fine afterwards if you do not ever use TWRP recovery to do a complete
wipe of everything available to wipe.
To flash custom roms and nandroids (and have Adv. Calling still functioning) , only do the "Swipe to Factory Reset".
Then flash your favorite custom stuff.
Doing more wipe than that ruins the phone for Advanced Calling until there's been another factory reset done
with stock recovery and kernel.

3 M9's on our family account: all 3 S-0ff and rooted.
Only 1 had HDVoice-Advanced Callling working correctly. Could not nandroid the
working system to one of the other phones with no HDVoice to get them running.
Did process above and got the 2 that weren't working to function correctly.
Took the original one whose HDVoice was good, did nandroid of it, did FULL MERCILESS
wipe on it and restored the nandroid. HDVoice no longer worked anymore.
Used dottat's files to restore to factory stock, got HDVoice working instantly,
then nandroided the previous backup that did not yield working HDVoice before, works again.
Now HDVoice works fine on all 3 devices. Proved to me that full wiping took away HDVoice.

So, I've lost VoLTE/Advanced calling on my m9. Not exactly sure when or what caused it. Not all that concerned. I have tried everything from RUU all the way back to 1.33.x and let it do the OTA updates up to MM as well as full wipes from stock recovery at every stage of the process. Or not wiping at all. If there is anything else someone would like me to try, I am more than willing to give it a shot. Would be nice to find a solution even though there probably isn't one except getting a replacement.

Did you remove it from your account and then ruu and factory reset and attempt to add it from the phone again? If you did that exactly and nada it's time for replacement.

Yep, tried that also. I've tried everything that has been posted and maybe even some other things. If there is anything off the wall that you want me to try, I'm game. Other than that, I'm just gonna keep it as I use CandySix which doesn't support VoLTE anyway and plan on getting m10 once it's out in a couple months.

I've had two of my friends follow my instructions to the letter and both got Advanced Calling back.
I read somewhere that the full wipe is what causes the Advanced Calling to break (I'm 70 percent sure I read that somewhere and I am too lazy to find it)
So when you are trying to get it back via RUU and everything I would refrain from a "Full Wipe" and use "Factory Reset"
If all else fails send it to HTC

At what point did you Factory Reset? Or not at all? I am going to try again step by step. I just removed Advanced Calling via verizonwireless and downloaded dottat's ruu version 1.33.605.15 I am waiting for the 15 minutes to be up and I will install RUU via SDCard method.
Any other tips?

So, no luck with getting it working yet. I did the steps exactly, but no luck. I'm still not done though. Like I said, It doesn't really concern me that it's not working, but I'll keep trying to see if I can find a way to bring it back to life in case others have the issue.

I never really factory reset throughout my process.
However, I did RUU from the computer, not from SD card. I don't believe that is the case but if you're trying to replicate my steps exactly that's the only difference.

Potentially bricked? Sprint M9 unable to take OTA

Good evening folks. I am in desperate need of expert advice on this subject.
I imagine that other users have encountered this issue, and this thread may be useful in the future to the assistance of others.
I am rooted, and S-off (as of yesterday). Yesterday, I had TWRP 2.8.7 installed, with stock sense (and sprint bloatware), running android 5.0.1, on firmware 2.11.651.19
*** STILL UNSOLVED*** At first, I was prompted to do a system update (1 of 2), in order to prepare my device for android 6.0. Upon download completion of the first update, and when attempting to install, I am brought back to HBOOT, and the update is nowhere in sight, even when rebooted.
This is a constant loop, and always brings me back to HBOOT.
This is what I have been trying to figure out, and it has got me in an enormous mess ***

Let me describe my problem before I get into detail.
It started when I got my M9, I got it from Sprint, and instantly wanted to root it and install Cyanogenmod 13 on it.
To my mistake, I rooted the phone BEFORE I did the OTA update to Android 6.0
As we know, this is a block based system, and this introduces many difficulties.
I had been running TWRP 2.8.7, and stock sense with all my pre-loaded Sprint crap. I was unable to install cyanogenmod 13 or anything.
This led to much frustration, research, and pain as I browsed countless threads on the XDA forums, downloading many items, hoping they would fix my issue.
Now, for my issues.
The HTC RUU for my phone has never worked, and I was constantly met with ERROR 155. I attempted to re-lock the bootloader, but this made no difference.
Often, when I type in adb devices into the command prompt, I am prompted with something like "you are using a different version than the server... Daemon started.. Then devices: and then nothing. This is what I usually get:

It is obvious to me that if no device is detected, then no work may be done on the phone.
Other times, the phone will recognize, but it seems as if there is no effect on what I am trying to do.
Last night, I paid sunshine $25 to S-off my phone, hoping that it would help me. While the S-off process was extremely easy with this service, my problems are not remedied.
I saw that to restore my phone to 100% stock, that I must complete a RUU with my device, renamed to 0PJAIMG.img, and move it to the SD card.
When I did this, I was still running Stock sence, and was able to move files to my SD card/External SD card.
I went into the bootloader and the phone recognized that I had a "0PJAIMG.img" file on my phone, but I used the wrong file. I used a 75mb file with the firmware, but not all of the sprint things with sense installed. I assumed that since this was the latest firmware, it would allow me to keep Sense and my files, and allow me to take the OTA update to the latest android version
Here are images with information to the INCORRECT "0PJAIMG.img" (that I had renamed from this screenshot) I installed on my phone using the bootloader.
You can see the CORRECT file at about 2GB, and the incorrect file at 75mb.
For reference, Here is what is included in the 75mb file.
Now, I am unable to connect my phone to adb, as it shows up as in the pictures.
I have no recovery installed, so the Stock HTC (and very basic) recovery is there.
I am continuously prompted to install the INCORRECT 0PJAIMG.img that I placed on my phone, and I have no way to remove it as I know.
When I boot normally, I see the HTC One logo, and then a black screen. The screen is still on, but completely black. There is no way to exit this, other than pressing all buttons for 5+ seconds.
I do have the correct 0PJAIMG.img (2gb file), but I have no way of switching these two files, since I cannot connect.
I cannot install TWRP due to no devices showing up in the ADB interface.
When I plug my phone into my computer, I do get the "connected" noise from windows.
Please let me know if I can be more specific. I am going on a trip soon, and will take whatever lengths to get my phone working again.
I have read all relevant threads that I know of, so please avoid re-directing me to another page unless you think I have perhaps missed something.
My end-goal is to have a fully functional HTC M9 with Cyanogenmod 13 snapshot installed. I am on sprint, so I am unsure if I can even use Cyanogenmod. My alternative preference would be the D-Boyz mod to sense.

UPDATE:
I am able to install TWRP 2.8.7.1, and play with that. It seems that when restoring from my old backups, I have the same firmware and OS.
Only now, my radio is bricked.
I have attempted to re-create this, after many painstaking "optimizing apps" runs.
I am currently in a "android is starting"... process.
I will keep this thread updated with information as I progress. I hypothesize that my radio will still be broken.
I am absolutley at my wit's end with this device. I should have never upgraded from the HTC M8. I miss you baby.
I am tempted to take my phone back to sprint. I paid for the S-Off though, and would like to avoid this if possible.
All I want is android 6.0 and CG13.... I'm sick of being annoyed by the "system update is available" notification constantly.
*** STILL UNSOLVED*** At first, I was prompted to do a system update (1 of 2), in order to prepare my device for android 6.0. Upon download completion of the first update, and when attempting to install, I am brought back to HBOOT, and the update is nowhere in sight, even when rebooted.
This is a constant loop, and always brings me back to HBOOT.
This is what I have been trying to figure out, and it has got me in an enormous mess ***

Solved by flashing the ZIP of the RUU for the latest version, placing it on the base of the Phone storage, and naming it "0PJAIMG.zip"

GPS Fix Issues

Is anyone with an HTC 10 having any GPS lock issues? I wasnt having issues for months and months of owning my Vzw HTC 10 but just recently I've been unable to get a lock almost always. I see that my phone can FIND satellites it just can't use them.
Currently rooted and s off, stock Rom with twrp.
I've tried resetting agps and refreshing, I've tried switching between Global and CDMA. I'm not really to keen on factory resetting as I'm afraid a. It won't help and b. I'll have to redo all my work with rooting, sunshine, etc. (I could be wrong about that... Forgive me I'm no expert with this stuff, just know enough to follow instructions to get to where I want to be lol)
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I have a hard time believing there's anything actually wrong with my GPS sensor so to speak especially since it can find satellites it just isn't fixing.

I have not had any issues, i am currently on 1.82.605.6 firmware & deodex base.
1. Have you installed a custom kernel?
2. In the locations settings, have you set the location to just GPS? (shouldn't matter anyways)
3. It looks as though you have a software update? i assume you are running santod rom, which should work anyways.
I would just RUU back to stock, it wont break sunshine. you will need to reinstall twrp & superSU after performing the RUU. then test it stock and go from there.
Good Luck

That's no issue.
Simply backup System, boot and User data in TWRP (well, actually you only need UserData. But if you have them all your safe whenever whatever ^^)
Go to advanced wipe and select UserData, Cache, Dalvik.
Don't select Internal Storage/ SD card this would delete all your data you don't want deleted.
So reboot your phone and setup your Google account again.
Sunshine and root and all that stuff will persist.
If it doesn't help you can easily restore UserData only, via TWRP.
but then you will have to try installing a ruu anyway, which will delete ALL your data.

Sadly nothing seemed to fix it. I did manage to again get a GPS fix but only in some places never the places I did when I first got the phone. It seems like the antenna is just weak all of a sudden. But to be honest I stopped working on it because my Verizon htc 10 was stolen shortly after posting this :/ I've got an Unlocked edition coming next week hoping to test the GPS and see if indeed it was my phone or if the areas I was in are the issue or what.
