Ok... i have a phone programmed on my network (VZW) *228 , 1 and *228 , 2 done. Data is working. Messaging is working. The only problem I have not accomplished, is getting the Roaming Indicator to go away... and when people call... I get the roaming message. I looked at the EPST compared to my other phone.... and it looks right. What's missing?
Bump......
There has to be somebody that has an idea on what the PRL / PRI should be in order to get rid of this Roaming issue.
There is a site that shows all of the latest prl's for all carriers...I just tried to find it for you....I know it is over at ppcgeeks....if I find it I will post it back....just changing the prl should fix it....

I've done that... something like colorodo.com/prl... whatever. Did that... and also let the Verizon *228 , 2 load the latest PRL. It's newer than the one on that site. Still says I'm roaming though.
PRI : 2.00_003
PRL : 51056

May be dumb question but did you go into the phone settings and check them...

As I said in the first thread.... I compared as many settings as I could in EPST to my actual Verizon XV6800... and they match. That's what's confusing.

This is why you're roaming. This is not a Verizon PRI. You let some other carrier's customizations run. You need to flash back to stock, let VZW customizations run, then upgrade again. It's the only way. Your data may not work either after you flash back to stock, so you may need a DMU reset.

I was afraid of that. The ERI keeps erroring as well when I try to write "4" to it.. GRRRR...
I'm still trying to get this to work... but with VZW Stock 2.09 and radio 2.13 (because the normal method with the 1.30.60 just says no radio)... and the customizations ran... when in the main screen of WM... it still says roaming. I'm guessing because I haven't programmed any settings yet... IE... phone number.... SID... etc.
Edit:
Ok... Somethings not right. Even after running the stock verizon... letting it "Customize" and then updateing to the latest DCD... In QPST there is still SPCS in the NAM settings areas.... and the roaming is still showing.
Also, If I do a ##eri.. to load the eri.. it gives me a write failure. and.. when I do a ##7764726... for ##Program.. the ERI
reading... fails.
PRI still reads 2.00_003
Is there a way to "ERASE" the device and start over? That way the correct ERI/PRI will be loaded?
I guess because the GPS Radio/Rom from sprint is what ran and did the customizations.... a Verizon Base Non-GPS radio/Rom customization isn't erasing the Sprint data? Even after verizon Customizations... QPST says SPCS.

Nobody????
If you havent already try this, Id suggest re-flashing to the stock vrzn ROM. That may fix your problem, but Im not sure, as I am just taking a stab in the dark.
I've had to do it before and it pretty much returns ur phone to how its "supposed" to be.

Been there. Done that. It's a Sprint Mogul. So, the Base system information that gets retrieved after the flashing is done, is all sprint. That's what I want to edit. If I can get the Verizon stuff in the ERI/PRI... I'd be good to go. The phone works as a verizon phone. Text/Data/Email... etc. It just shows roaming.
Ok... I was hoping the new update would fix it. I ran the vzw update on UtStarcoms site... let it update the PRI... and It still says I'm roaming on my Cloned Mogal to Verizon.

Are you unable to make or receive calls? What ROM were you running before flashing GSB? Did you do a full data wipe before flashing GSB?

FYI if this helps, or even if it doesn't, you can see the MEID number underneath the battery. I find that you usually have to use the HEX version on Verizon's website. I don't know if this will help you, however, because flashing ROMs does not affect activation status.
Is this the number you're looking for?

i was running the factory default phone, i wiped everything and flashed the rom i linked on it, i can receive calls, voicmails, texts, mms, the internet is fine, but its not connecting to the towers near me, its picking up off different towers and the person at verizon said i need to change the SID number to 30730 which i know what one to change and i know where it is, i just cant access that part of the phone to change it because i dont know what program number to use.
flash the official RUU and start fresh possibly can fix the problem and re-root then flash new rom

To my knowledge, the ROMs do not alter any activation state of the phone* - that stuff is held in a hidden partition (the "mfg" partition, I suspect) in the flash memory chip that are never touched by any of the usual ROM flashing operations. That's why you can change ROMs and maintain the same activation and PRL data from ROM to ROM. So, I don't know why your phone's tower association would have changed if was working correctly before flashing a developer ROM.
*The only exception to this is if you perform a factory reset with the stock recovery on the phone - that does clear the activation state of the phone. The "factory reset/wipe data" menu entry of the custom recovery doesn't touch activation data or PRLs, though.
If that's what happened, then you might have to temporarily revert to a stock ROM - just don't use the factory reset procedure on the stock ROM before you re-root the phone. (BTW, you could certainly use the March 2011 OTA stock ROM - installing it won't overwrite your custom recovery, so you can simply do a nandroid backup/restore to get back to your current setup - no need to "re-root" if you do that.)
There's probably something I don't understand about the situation you are describing, unless it has something to do with towers that were acquired from a different carrier (Alltel?) by Verizon - under normal circumstances, your phone would prefer to connect to the best signal within it's home network, assuming that there are not other problems that prevent that from happening (such as call congestion through a certain tower). Perhaps the towers you want to connect to are actually considered to be "roaming" by the PRL you have on your phone, and that's why the more distant VZW towers are chosen?

i will try this but before i do i'll try to explain a bit more, when i call the normal eris programming number, it tries to actually make a call instead of giving me the option to go into edit mode, now when im on the stock rom i can do it but as soon as i flash any other rom on it, it doesnt allow me to do so. i had a rom from a droid 2 on it and when i used the droid 2 programming number it worked just fine and i could edit the info. hope this helps clarify a bit, and thanks for the help

^This sentence confuses the crap out of me. I read it 5 or 6 times, and have no idea what sequence of operations you performed. I only have a vague idea that you can't get something to work.
If you can't access the EPST menu, how can you see what the settings are?
Here is what everybody has said so far (basically the same thing, but in different ways) :
- The EPST menus are generally not available in custom ROMs, especially any of the AOSP (Froyo/Gingerbread) ROMs. You need a stock, or near-stock ROM to be guaranteed that they will be available
- The same thing is true of "secret dial code menus". They don't exist in custom ROMs, unless those custom ROMs are nearly identical to stock ROMs (that is, directly derived from a stock ROM).
If you want to try it, you can flash either a RUU or PB00IMG.zip file - these operations flash a "nvram" file (*.nb0), which conceivably resets PRL and other non-ROM settings. After doing that, and fooling with EPST using a stock ROM, you will need to re-root.
As I mentioned, you should not run a "factory reset" procedure on your phone after you have configured what you want (with EPST) when there is a STOCK recovery on the phone.
Beyond that, I'm sort of mystified why you are unsatisfied with a phone that appears to be working normally. (What application are you using to determine cell phone tower? Are you inferring that from location services (Google Maps) with GPS and WiFi location services turned off?)

So I've had root (stock Froyo) on my TB for a month or 2 now and really like being able to take off the bloatware and maintain consistent backups with TI and pull back a recovery with ROM Manager.
Over the past 2 weeks or so the damn OTA has been forcing its way into my phone, literally!!!
Every so often I would open my phone and it would be in process of DL a Firmware update. I'd pull the battery and restart and give me a server failure error and I was able to continue wihtout error.
All other times it would give indication that Verizon was trying to do something and I would reject it. It would disappear for a few days and reappear with the same 3 selections. I would always reject.
Then one day, as mentioned previously, I noticed my phone was in process of DLing a firmware update.
I thought I caught it in time, but then it kept happening.
I guess yesterday was the last straw VZW had with me rejecting their update and it was forced on. I was then stuck in a boot loop. It would start up and run some processes, get past the SD connection and then hang for a minute then return to a shutdown.
After this I decided to run the Deodexed 1.70 update and the Radio update.
Sat down last night and started messing with it.
Ran the Deodexed through HBOOT and nothing really happened. Did not process as I would expect or had seen when I set up ROOT originally.
So I then ran the radio through HBOOT and this one ran as expecxted asking me for the next step to run the install.
Seemed to work fine and the phone rebooted without a problem, that is until I saw my phone had 'No Service' on the lock screen and the little [x] next to the reception bars.
I tried running both files again through ROM Manager and received the same result.
What I noticed is the following;
Yeah I switched my Tom's and I had no data connection. This is what I did.
Step 1. ##778
step 2. Password 000000 ( six 0's)
Step 3. Tap on edit mode
Step 4. Go to modem settings and scroll to Rev.A (I was on eHRPD so I switched to Enable or whatever the first option is. If your oh enable switch it to eHRPD I did this setting when I didn't have connection a looong time ago)
Sounds like you successfully flashed an MR2 radio but you are still on MR1 (1.13.605.7 indicated by your screencaps) thus no service.
Assuming your recovery still works, flash the 1.70.605.0 rom via recovery.
bloated: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160374
debloated: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161251
If your recovery doesn't work, reflash it then flash the rom.
As you see in the screencaps, you should see 1.70.605.0 under build and software.
The OP's issue is a common one. Rejecting updates is a sorry way to retain root.
First, the 1.13 RUU that was flashed after rooting via ADB was NOT intended to be retained as the long-term solution. Please take a look at this radio link. As you'll see, RUU 1.13 is OLD. I believe many are under the impression this is the firmware that was on their device pre-root, and it likely wasn't. Most started with RUU 1.66 or 1.68. By running that post-root RUU, you're running firmware that is significantly older and less efficient than just about anything out there. And it WILL continue to attempt an auto-update until you fix that situation.
If you like your stock ROM, flash the RUU 1.68 rooted ROM but keep your radios. An even better idea would be to flash the RUU 1.70 ROM and radios since they are the most stable and efficient Froyo releases out. Of course, flashing a real custom ROM would be the best solution, but I know some people like bone stock or have some irrational paranoia about custom ROMs.
Check the Access Point name
Someone else had a similar problem. He realized he had no Access Point Name assigned. (Menu/Settings/Wireless & networks/Mobile networks/Access Point Name)
He wasn't able to reset it from the menu/reset option on the APN page, but was able to add a new APN with VZWINTERNET as the Internet name with the same settings as the non-working APN. Once he had the new APN enabled, he had data access.

Not this case since from the pics, the OP never actually flashed a rom that would work with his radio anyway as I mentioned above.
All -
I apologize if this has been answered - I couldn't find a relevant post by searching...
I have HBOOT 1.50, am rooted, and am running Supra ROM 2.1. I've hit "update profile" and "update PRL" at least 3 or 4 times - and each say that they were updated and the changes applied - but the number never changes.
So - I have 2 questions:
1 - the phone says I have PRI 1.24_003 and PRL 21083 - are those current?
2 - assuming the answer to number one is no, how do I update them?
I should mention that the reason I'm trying to update those two (and I realize there is some debate whether or not it'd help) is because 3 times in the past 2 days, my phone has been sitting on my desk where I typically have 4-5 bars and all of a sudden I get a voicemail notification. The phone never rang. It's happened too many times in a short period to simply be an anomaly.
As always - any help is greatly appreciated -
That's the latest prl.. you're updated.

One last question then... As previously mentioned, I have Hboot 1.50. A few days ago, I flashed Supra 2.0 then 2.1 directly from TWRP recovery. I'm reading from several different places that I was supposed to flash them from ADB - is that accurate? In other words must *all* ROM flashes involve ADB if on hboot 1.50? Additionally, I didn't flash a kernel - I just assumed stock kernal was fine - is that not the case? And last: is it possible that a miss-flashed ROM is causing my phone-signal issues?
Okay that's like 4 questions.
I should point out that my phone *does* work insofar as it boots into android and can make/receive calls - all seems normal and functional - just the issue of a sudden voicemail with a phone that never rang.
well as for your prl it will say updated and whatever even if it doesn't actually look like it changes anything. it still writes the new prl. some roms work just fine with stock kernel. although it tends to mess up if they are different versions like having a 2.3.4 rom and have a 2.3.3 kernel. I am not sure about your rom you have flashed as I have not used it. the reason youbwould need and is for installing the kernel. I just use joeys app to flash my kernels tho.
Sometimes you have to update it manually to have the system register the change.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but did you get this figured out on your phone? Mine is doing the exact same thing since recently updating to 2.17.651.5. I updated the radios at the same time -- I have the same PRI and PRL versions you mentioned in the first post. Thanks!
EDIT:
I used freeza's update which updated me from 1.24_003 to 1.42_003. Since then, I'm able to receive calls and text messages again. Posting here in case it helps someone else. I used the update found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21374142&postcount=131.
Hey guys! So I moonshined and got S-OFF on my phone. I first backed up my factory ROM after I wiped all the data so I would have it to go back to in the future if needed, this was done through clockwork mod. So I first tried using the NOS M7 ROM, didn't like that as the home screen seemed too Window's 8 phone like to me. I then tried the CyanogenMod 10.1, I noticed that my phone was only getting 3G data at this point. I was using my wife's new Galaxy S4 that was getting 4G as a comparison to mine. We were traveling through town so it's not a tower based issue, as her phone showed 4G.
I then tried to switch to viperDNA1.3.1 and I had all sort of issues with it. Heck this morning it would not even show me my alarm notification when it was going off to shut the phone up. I had to power it off to silence it. It even stopped showing the notification bar on the top of the screen and I couldn't even do the drag down thing to see notifications and settings.
So today at work I downloaded RageDNA to see if an optimized stock app would work for me, no change..... I even formatted my sdcard to blank it and the did an adb push to transfer the ROM.zip back to my phone.
SO.... between each app I would launch into ClockWorkMod and 1. wipe dalvik cache. 2. format system. 3. wipe data/factory reset. 4. choose the zip from the sdcard (haha like we really have a true sdcard) and wait for the install and then launch into the phone and do the basic setup to get the ROM working.
HELP!!!! (me crying) I am afraid I did something to my phone during the flashing that jacked up the radio causing 4G to be broken. Is there something else you need to know from me to help me out, please let me know!
**********UPDATE**********
I double checked all my phones settings with a coworker who also has a DNA, but still S-ON. Everything is setup the same for settings on the APN's. I even recreated a duplicate APN that used the specified "LTE" network instead of the one that was defaulted on both of ours "unspecified". No change, even rebooted.
I also restored my CWM backup I did before making any changes to my phone via switching ROM's. The only difference is the fact that their network typeshows "LTE" where my shows "eHRPD". I am going to look into seeing how to reflash the radio to see if something got corrupt.
If it comes down to it I am going to reset my phone back to S-ON and reflash everything that I can find that I can do.
*********Resolution*********
After reflashing my radio, I did not get any 4G signal any more, I know Verizon towers were down for 4G near my work so not sure if they moved over to the towers by my home as I only live 10 minutes from work. So only after being at work for about an hour my 4G signal started on it's own without anything done by me today.
So as I was on the path to trying to take it back to stock I followed the guide that Phaded posted for getting back to S-ON http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293919. I had a few issues with that, as it turns out my phone was not showing anything about being "LOCKED" after running his first set of commands. So I pressed forward after talking with Phaded on this situation. I had even flashed from my CWM recovery back to the stock recovery (also notice when running the RUU that it flashes the recovery.) I ran the RUU and then got the 158 error then had to flash the HBOOT. After that flash the phone showed "***Tampered*** & ***LOCKED***". I then proceeded to run the RUU and it completed at that point with no issues. Then the last few DOS commands for fastboot and back to Locked and S-On. I updated back from 1.15 up through 2.06. Also doing so that made me realize you have to step from 1.15 to 2.04 and finally 2.06. So far the 4G is still working. I will keep it stock for a few days to ensure no further 4G issues then I will be moonshining again!!
Just a guess, you may have to flash the boot image. If so the directions are in the install directions for Viper

I just tried to restore my CWM files from prior to any ROM changes. So far I have 3G data, but I tend to get 3G more so at my house than 4G, so not sure if anything will change.
I am wondering if the SIM card could have anything to do with this issue as well.... could a ROM have written to the card and caused it to not read the 4G data, or whatever is on there.
I also see that my phone's network seems to be "eHRPD" not sure if this had anything to do with it or not.
I double checked all my phones settings with a coworker who also has a DNA, but still S-ON. Everything is setup the same for settings on the APN's.

if you download from the play store this app (its free) https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEwOSwibmV0LmFuZGlyYy5sdGVvbmZvZmYiXQ.. open it and scroll down what does it say under set preferred network type? that screen has more crucial settings then the normal one. if you running viper in viper tweaks its the first option under misc. If you need help ill put up a pick when i get back. someones borrowing mine cause they stepped on their phone lol.

Too funny that you pointed me to that app, I just found another one LTE Settings.
So I tried your app also and they had the exact same data listed. So here's the screen shots I took from my app I pointed to. My phone will connect to 4G only and only if I choose "LTE only" if I move it to something else either by changing it through the OS settings, or changing it through this app, it goes back to getting 3G service. So at least this tells me my phone isn't broken, just some setting is F***ed up somewhere.
I have tried Global and CDMA/LTE settings with it always showing 3G.
yup that's freaking weird lol swing by a VZW store and get a free sim card since yours seems like it might be messed up what happnes if you flash something like crpalmers kernel though? your boot image might just be all screwed up. his latest version is June 24th.

Yeah weird! I just used the DNA Toolkit v1.0.5, I flashed the 2.06 radio and after it rebooted and what not, I went outside (as I have bad service inside this house) and now 4G won't even connect. Not sure if it's the towers, as the one by work went out around noon today.
So as it's a kernal and not a ROM how do I do that, just the same install from zip file in CWM? Do I need any certain ROM for it? As right now I have the factory one that I backed up with CWM when I did S-OFF. (it was a blank fresh factory reset)

if your using viper it supports only 2.04 as a base for its radios i believe. like I said try flashing crpalmer's one this one http://d-h.st/hu7
OH also yeah your towers by you could be experiencing maintenance try driving to somewhere else id say at least a mile away.

I flashed palmer's and no change. I just texted a coworker who lives about .25 miles away to see if he's getting 4G.
Again right now I'm on the factory ROM.

does the factory restore work like your cwm one i mean?
Click on Mobile Data in your settings, and make your 'preferred' network LTE/CDMA.
I had the very same error with the stock phone, and once I switched it - I started getting 4G almost everywhere.

That doesn't work, I have tried that like 30 times with no change.

I'll try the factory restore in the ROM and see what it does. (haven't setup the rom due to the lack of 4g)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17145857&postcount=2 found this and it seems like your towers might be experiencing something if they dropped from pure lte to this. like some equipment has failed and it has dropped to a lower communication lvl hardware wise. EDIT: when i meant factory i meant in cwm going to restore and restoring your whole backup(snapshot) of the factory rom that you made not in the rom itself.

I don't think you would notice the change instantly. You will see in a few hours, especially if you go somewhere, you will be getting 4G - or if you restart the phone.
Further, what you can do is flash the radio.
Here's the file you need to flash: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9yd_oFytDSzUjRpLTZhSFEwWnc/edit
That is a Verizon radio, and it works also with other providers.
Use fastboot to flash:
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
Original thread of the radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236633
PS: This is the original verizon radio.

When I was at work, I compared a coworkers DNA and he was getting actual LTE signal. So don't think it's that with the eHRDP thing that I keep seeing. But yeah it looks like a "cheaters way" to get their CDMA hardware to work with LTE. lol
Sorry, I feel like a tard and not really following what you are talking about with the "factory" thing. If you mean in the hboot the factory restore, it takes you to the CWM recovery to do that factory restore. Plus the ROM restore seems to almost go through CWM as well, but does it automatically. I'm going to do a full wipe and set this thing back to factory settings. As when it's broke and not working, best thing to do is start fresh.

okay if you do it from hboot it wont do anything cause now cwm will stop that from running but that is the same as running factory reset in cwm, thats not what im talking about though when you first moonshined then booted cwm after getting it, did you run a backup of your factory(stock) ROM? if so it would be in sdcard/clockworkmod/backups it also would have been about 1.5-2GB's. you could also try the radio.img amer is taking about as well, that you need to flash with adb though in fastboot as he stated.

After I noticed my 4G issue, I restore my CWM backup. Yes the CWM backup is what I restored and I am running from right now. It's size is 1.39GB in size.
I will do the radio flash right now.
