Verizon, flashed rom, lost service?

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.

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.

error code 128 data call failure

This has been happening to me for the last couple of days. Out of the blue my phone will pop this error: Data call failure. Error code 128. Unable to establish wireless data connection. I have done some research on this error message and most of the things I found had to do with using the phone as a hot spot. I am not using that feature. I am using a custom rom that I have had on for a couple of months now. Nothing has changed on my phone. I have tried updating the prl and then updating the profile. I have pulled the battery and left it off for half an hour. None of the other phones on my account have this issue. It is particular to my phone only. Is it this something I can call sprint about and they can reset or do I need to flash my radio again or take it in to sprint?

Had the same thing happen to me today. Called sprint and they said there was a data issue going on in my area. I say its rubbish but whatever.

That's been happening to me all day today. I thought it was maybe the kernel I installed today (more freedom) but after seeing this maybe it was the earthquake on the east coast causing problems with the network?

I have been getting these errors all day today as well.

i've been getting it all day... I thought it was kernel

I keep getting that error to. Thought i messed up my phone. Guess it was the earth quake, That **** was crazy though, never felt one before. Anyway after it happened i lost service on my phone for like 2 hours, kept getting beeping noises when i would try to make a call.

Sorry to hear others having this problem as well but I am glad that it probably isn't my phone. I would hate to get my evo replaced with a newer one that can't be rooted.

I know running CM7 right now and getting no 3g speeds right. Lame. But I got wifi though.

It can be rooted! These Dev's don't let us down, come-on man.

This started happening to me after the earthquake. In NYC

you mean Virgina? But yes, the last few days especially today after the quake. Ivebeen getting it alot.
I just had to reinstall synergy because it started freakingout saying that my andriod process had stop working, and a media process stopped working. was driving me insane.

Yeah know issue with Sprint call tech and do ctms ticket and maybe prl update or maybe * 18. The issue may be cleared by now .

Just the last couple days? I been getting these errors on and off for months now... before I rooted, and bricked my phone, so I'd say it has something to do with sprint not having enough bandwidth... or something like that anyway....

data call failure error 128
My Evo 4G started getting this Data Call Failure Error 128 last week (Wed), also only when I unlock... It is only a message, but everything works fine afterwards. It would happen about 5 times a day.
Then I went to Mexico for the weekend (3 days) and was roaming over there. Not once did the message pop up. Everything was fine, roaming data, text messages, phone calls. Thought everything was fixed. Came back on Monday and once I was on the Sprint network, started receiving the messages again on unlock.
I updated PRL and Profile and everything. That didn't stop it. Tried changing from Sprint to automatic roaming and that didn't really do anything. I thought it was a couple of apps i had (like Green Power that turns off data and turns it back on) but uninstalled it and the messages kept popping up. Tried enabling always-on data and that seems to work but that drains the battery faster than usual. Been searching all android forums looking for others in this situation and it seems like only a Sprint/HTC issue (Evo 4G, 3D and Shift). This is getting very annoying. It happens about 5 times a day.
My wife thinks that it's Sprint fixing and adjusting their network getting ready for the iPhone rush.

Wow, glad to know that I'm not the only one. I think that I had somehow did something wrong with my phone. I keep on getting these Data Call Failure - Error Code 128 messages several times a day. I tried reflashing a new rom, then doing it again. Must not be the rom, but Sprint. Annoying!!!!

it was just a sprint issues

Also cannot call the *2 or the *4 automated lines to sprint, get a busy signal and pop up saying "network is busy try again later", but can get through to sprint on a landline just fine. Apparently I cannot connect to what the sprint tech says is the "automated lines". I continue to get the error code 128 repeatedly, whether on wifi, 3g or 4g, and Sprints only "remedy" is to do a factory re-set which I have read has not affect.

That happened to my previous phone too. I had to reboot my phone 6-7 times to get connected. And sometime, I didn't receive call unless I keep the phone awake. T-Mobile sent me a replacement, but I had to pay $20 for shipping and exchange fee. My new phone has no problem so far. There are a few complain on T-Mobile Support site about the same kind of issue.

update to my question
I found the problem. I had (wifi calling only) on because I was low on minutes hopes this may help someone else

Since 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 update I'm being throttled or something. ..

I have the sprint Galaxy now 2. I purchased it 2 months ago and since day 1 I have been getting download speeds of 6-17Mbps and upload 3-9Mbps. I installed the 4.1.2 update and now all of a sudden my download is 1Mbps if I'm lucky and upload l less than 250kbps. Plus my voice signal is 1 bar when before it was minimum 4 bars at home. I called sprint and they said they are upgrading the tower in my area but that tower was done 4 months ago. It's something with 4.1.2 update.
Anyone else having simular issues? Anything anyone can suggest?
Phone is rooted foe wifi tether running stock ROM.
Any help greatly appreciated!
S.Wes M.

Still SLOW 4G LTE after 4.1.2 update.. PLEASE HELP!
Have tried to Force Stop the Sprint Connection Mnager, Went in through The phone dial pad and Dialed: *#0011# and turned Powr Save Mode "Off" . JUST got off with Sprint again and we went through all the regular troubleshooting tips as normal, which I have already done at least 8 times since 3AM this morning! They stated they opened a service ticket and if still no good by 72 hours they would give a credit to my account and maybe do a exchange of my phone to see if that fixes the issue. I am tempted to do an unroot and a fresh install of the Stock Rom 4.1.1 and the re-root and just keep denying access to the system notice I get every 5 minutes telling me that there is an update available.. :~/ ANYONE else have ANY suggestions I am ALL open ears. Just REALLY frustrated because it was ALL working perfectly and at this point I am tempted to box this phone back up store it in my closet and go back to my Evo 4G... :/ Thanks in advance everyone!

[Q] Question regarding sprint apn settings [mobile network not available]

Hello thanks in advance for anyone who can help with this question. Ive been all around xda and other forums as well and cant find a solution to my issue. I had "the peoples rom gs317 on my phone for a wile and everything was fine. Tuesday night I went to the official nightly of cm 10.2 (I've flashed a nightly of this rom before with no issues) and after that I've lost voice and text. Possible related to APN settings maybe? When I try and make a phone call I get "mobile network not available" and when I try and send a text I get a similar message. What I do have is data I still have my LTE/4G connection. Tried flashing different radios and roms with no luck. Tried the APN fix below with no luck
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794956
Finally went back to un-rooted stock rom and went to the sprint store, they seemed pretty surprised because under phone status/info it shows no mobile number and PRL 0000 The crazy thing is in the sprint store I had no data signal (dumb sprint coverage)l so they said it has to do with the crack on my screen?!? and my cellular chip may be bad??? I said thats seems odd to me given the screens been cracked for 6 months. They ran the phone with their diagnostics machine which I thought would fix it but nothing. I'm now at home and my data connection is fine again. Should I try taking it to a different store? Any thoughts/solutions would be much appreciated.

Have you tried to reactivate your phone, you'll need to be in a touchwiz rom and then dial ##72786#

Wow that dialer code didnt work before I took it to the sprint store! Now it DID. Thanks jdelano! I can make phone calls and text now! Only thing is now my data is gone. any thoughts?

OK everything works now. Started getting a switch error when calling and did a CLFS refresh listed here:
