Be connected to activestink.
(even if your device only boots to the windows splash screen activestink can still connect enough to load this 1.2 bootloader)
Run TitanUnlocker.exe from first folder
FOLOW THE ON SCREEN DIRECTIONS EXACTLY
INCLUDING THE UNPLUGING AND PLUGING BACK IN PART
Be patient and be sure that it is complete.
Then without disconecting, or restarting your device
go to the second directory and folow these directions...
While stil in bootloader mode run ROMUpdateUtility.exe
Follow the onsreen directions.
When your device boots up - LET THE VERIZON CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN.
Enjoy being back on Verizons service.
Now go load whatever roms you feel comfortable running.....
You may need a different bootloader for some roms.

I let the customizations run after loading the SPRINT 3.35 Rom updater on my XC6800, I don't think the problem was loading the rom, but letting the damned sprint customizations install instead of a quick reset.
*
I have tried a hell of a lot to resolve this and am convinced that at this point it is going to take a verizon stock rom - the whole thing - to start from scratch and get back from the evil grips of those sprint towers (you sprinters would think the same if in our shoes)...
*
Unfortunately I have not found everything to piece together an entire orig vz rom.
*
The first bad thing that the sprint customizations does is resets the MSL, so now instead of using 000000 as always, you have to find "GetSPC", run it giving it your ESN (under battery) to find out your new "sprintized MSL". This causes you to use sprints towers for everything, add to the fact that it loads a sprint PRL and you are now "stuck on sprint".* when you dial *228 you get a sprint recorded voice that this number is not valid.
Having a xv6700 laying around I was able to set nearly everything in EPST back to where it needed to be (see screen shots)- that got me making calls (roaming) but no i-net, and no *228...
*
Called Data tech support for a aKey, they gave it to me, that didn't work.
*
Dl'ed a vz PRL from http://www.corolada.com/prl/
That got me to be able to connect to vz by dialing *228, but no love, it says "sorry call cust serv...".
*
Went to a corp VZ store and looked at all the settings in EPST changed a couple more, that didn't work.
*
Spoke to the lead geek in charge there and fessed up, he said that it was because of the MSL code change, that *228 sends the 000000 “service sub lock code” to unlock the SPL (EPST) and if the code is different, it will never connect to *228 right (well maybe after they open up their network more, but that is at least months away).* So I said what if I was with sprint and wanted to "convert"? He said they would need sprint to set the MSL to 000000, which would likely be done by sending it in to sprint, then sprint sending it to HTC (I'm sure we can come up w/ something better).
*
After leaving, I received a follow up call from my escalated trouble ticket, and the girl reset my “DMU keys” that finally got me to have i-net (still no *228 love though).
*
So now I am at a OK place, everything works but still roaming, place and receive calls, received network texts from cust serv, and have i-net. However I didn’t want to go through all the set up on my phone just to hard reset anyway so I started off on a quest to find a legit vzw rom.
People keep saying it's posted here, or there or everywhere, I HAVE TRIED everyone I have found and have NOT been able to reset the radio to Verizons peramaters.
Any help out there as to finding the STOCK VERIZON RADIO or best the whole stock verizon rom package?
for those who need help getting the EPST setup I will post the current settings I am using in screenshots.
** I will update this post to reflect the best solution if the thread gets cumbersome.
I used the stock Verizon ROM at:
ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/CarrierRoms/Verizon_Stock_ROM/VZW_Passworded_Ruu_signed
I had a similar type issue and I'm working fine now. You'll see a solved post from me with a GPS issue. Hope that helps.

Here is a repost of my earlier posting on this subject. This will resolve your issues if your Verizon phone has been "Sprintized" or help you restore your phone before returning it to Verizon.
To set your phone back to the default Verizon ROM, do the following:
Download all necessary files 1) Titan Re-locker 2) Stock Verizon ROM 3) ROM Update Utility
Unzip/rar the Stock ROM and the RUU (unrar using WinRAR) ****DO NOT UNZIP THE RELOCKER**** (it is a self extracting zip and will run properly as is)
Place the Ruu_signed.nbh file in the RUU folder
Hard reset your phone by holding down both softkeys, hitting reset, and pressing R (just for good measure)
Connect your phone to your PC and make sure ActiveSync is connected
Re-lock your phone by running Titan_Relocker.exe
Place the stock Verizon ROM in the RUU folder
Run the RUU by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe
For good measure, let the Verizon ROM complete its setup.
I'm doing this from memory so please let me know if I missed a step so that I can update this post.
I hope this is helpful.

xv6800
Was running 2.3.2 w/ the 3.27 radio. Just updated.
Here were my steps:
Performed hard reset
Connected phone to PC and made sure AS was connected
Ran the Sprint updater
Upon reboot I forced phone into bootloader mode (did this while HTC screen was beginning to appear)
Cooked ROM in DCDs Kitchen...added several options
Ran updater
Notes:
Never had to run *228. Phone and internet confirmed to work correctly. Syncing w/ AS right now, configuring Exchange AS.
Will report back more later, but so far so good.

(coming from DCD 1.70 and radio 2.13)
1. Load Olipro 1.20 unlocker (my phone was re-locked after 1.70 ROM)
2. Flash radio
--Reboot was stuck on verizon screen after radio- entered bootloader mode by pressing power+camera, and inserting stylus for reboot. Entered bootloader successfully.
3. Cooked verizon-based rom from DCD 3.0.0 kitchen
4. Flashed ROM
This brought me to the new radio and rom, BUT... when disconected from the desktop, entered the dreaded constant reboot situation, so...
5. Reattached to desktop- this stopped the rebooting. Established activesync.
6. Loaded Olipro 2.40
7. Removed connection from desktop. Removed battery and after reinsert, hard reset device.
8. Ran *228,1 and then *228, 2. Soft reset after each
9. Working great for phone and text. Will play with GPS and report back (yes-- I will enable Location On!)
Thanks DCD for your great work and suggestions along the way here and in the radio thread..

So to summarize your steps minus the failure follow my directions but if you don't have Olipro 2.4 installed already, do that first. OH, and I didn't need to run *228.
My data speed didn't test so well...gonna see if running a *228 helps.
Edit: HA! As I expected...running *228 jacks me up again. Looking for signal. *22802 kicks it back into signal.....looking into it some more.

your solution is finaly correct - I am uploading the needed files to megaupload so ftp issues don't keep causing problems for people.
I am stuck at the verizon white splash screen and I am trying to get my phone back to stock. I can not establish a connection to my PC via active sync. It there a way to get my phone connected, or is my phone Brick'd now?

Press camera+power+soft reset
This will take you to the boot screen and you should be able to continue. You should have relocked your bootloader, right?
If so, just go ahead and flash the stock rom.
EDIT: Dont panic. If you are at the Verizon screen your phone is definitely NOT bricked. There are HUNDREDS of cases exactly like your and HUNDREDS more posts telling your exactly how to fix your problem. Search and you shall find.
Even before you actualy get into WinMo even though activestink is not really connected - it is able to connect through and re-flash the bootloader - it took a while to figure that one out for me too...

The moral of the story is, don't let Sprint customization run!
I did and had heck for 2 days. After flashing and re-flashing. i finally got back to original vzw rom, but data still didn't work, even after talking with tech support.
I took my phone to a local vzw store and they were able to fix it.
30 minutes later, I had the dcd3.01 rom installed and everything working perfectly.
Next big rom update, I will wait for others to screw up before jumping in.
....
plz up date the wiki with this
I did that same thing a month ago. Ran the damn Sprint Radio/Rom package and was stuck on Sprint towers. Even going back to the stock Verizon rom didn't help. I manually loaded a PRL and finally had phone calls, but no data. After many hours on the phone with Verizon giving me AKEYs, refresing towers, releasing stuck data sessions.... They finally sent me a replacement phone. Nice to see this issue has finally been resolved.
vx6800 bricked
I am new here but I need some help.
I have read and reread all the various posts but cannot get past the splash screen. During startup, at the bottom it, i get R 1.30.60 and D 3.35. It appears my problem is mismatched ROM and Radio version. However, trying to get back to stock rom, my device is not even detected by activesync and no matter what I do, I end up getting error - device not connected.
Thanks

I got this problem fixed with the help of an uncommonly smart tech support agent.
My first problems started when I accidentally put the sprint rom on my phone and let it boot.
I just called tech support about three times before I saw this post and they couldn't help me and they even did a DMU key reset without my knowledge and that didn't work. The last guy I talked to told me to bring the phone back into the store that I got it to get it replaced. Not wanting to do that beings that this was the last phone the store had in stock, I did one final search on google and found this site. After reading this post, I called back in to ask them to do a DMU key reset. The tech support agent then informed me that they already did a DMU reset and it obviously didn't work. He then wanted to try "something". He asked me to take the battery out of the phone and leave it like that while he put me on hold. I was on hold for about 3 minutes and when he got back on, he asked me to get back onto the phone and asked me to boot the device up again. He then asked me to dial *228 and let the phone reprogram. After I did that and it rebooted, I was able to use data. Whoohooo!!!!
I asked him what he did for my own personal benefit and he informed me that he actually temporarly removed my data package from my plan and reaplied it. But it was important that the device was turned off while he did it. Hence, the removal of the battery. I was very pleased with this guy. I thanked him profusely.
I'm posting this for the benefit of other people who are having problems with their data package after installing the sprint rom.
I haven't posted before, but I have a pretty difficult problem.
I tried installing one of those Sprint ROM/Radio setups on my phone, and like a dummy I let the customizations run. So here's what I did:
1) I flashed back to Verizon stock using the relocker and stock radio/rom. Once completed, it still shows roaming.
2) Then I used *228 option 1, then option 2, and the roaming icon goes away. Oh yeah, I also get the message "we are currently unable to authenticate your phone". No problem, not going to do anything else yet until I get a ROM/Radio combo I want.
3) Then I flashed the unlocker and (insert ROM/Radio combo here). I've tried most of them, following the compatibility list posted on this site. Most version of DCD's, 5067 (or whatever the # is), and radios 3.35, 3.37, 3.39, 3.49, etc. Once I get everything set, get a new A-key, I'm still roaming. The bottom line is that it doesn't matter what I use; the phone goes back into roaming mode. I then tried *228 option 1/option 2. *22899 does not work at all. I've tried to have them do the DMU resets; that doesn't seem to work. I've downloaded and installed new PRL files; that didn't help. In addition to roaming, my data isn't working either. I gave up and reflashed back to stock using the posted procedure.
4) Go back to step 1. I'm somewhere in this endless loop as we speak.
I can't fix it. I've followed almost every recommendation on this site. Verizon is sending me a new phone. In the meantime, I'd like to continue to try to fix this, but I don't know what else to do. Can anyone help???? Thanks.

ok i am BACK!!! WOOT|WOOT
here is what i did.
Using the files from post 1 of this thread as no others i tried worked!
1 hard reset
2 ran relocker
3 ran ruu utility
4 allowed cust
5 ran *228
finaly no triangle (raoming icon), but not data
6 called VZW CS, explained i had done a hard reset, BLAH...BLAH...DUH...DUH... not sure why this is happening
a. she had me do everything i had already done (*228), reset username and pass...etc.
b. after 30 mins and at last resort, she removed then readded me to the system (reprovisioned, much like when cable internet modems go offline) SUCCESS
remember only use files from post one of the ablve link, others on here, ppcgeeks, smartphonejunkie oddly didnt help!
Now im back up to Rom 20226 radio 3.42... man im hard headed, but i have a kewl phone again!!!! hope this helps!!!!
NOTE: i was not able to use ##778 to manually program!!!!! so if you have a good tech, this may give him clues to your REAL issue.

quad,
i am waiting (24 to 48 hrs )for their network team to do.... something to my phone, possibly the DMU reset. My tech wasn't able to do that on her own. I'm wondering if i can get a regular tech to do what they did for you....when you say they removed you then added you to the system, not exactly sure what that means
I'm Jealous.....
EDIT: BTW, my data connection settings won't keep a username and pwd stored....keeps dropping them every time after i put em in
I Rooted My Photon About 3 Days Ago And Now Want To Try Out A Few Roms... However If I Mess Something Up I Need The Latest SBF For The Motorola Photon. I Have An SBF File But It Doesnt Seem To Be The Latest... Does This Matter Or Do I Need The Newest... Will My Phone Automatically Update Itself To The Newest SBF?

hi i need help. i recently flashed 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154...sbf using rsd lite to my photon. however after flashing, i lost 3g, GSM, umts connections. i cant get any signal with my photon even when manually selecting networks. were using a SIM card here and the phone doesn't seem to recognize the network anymore aside from sprint. it kept on trying to activate the device but to no avail. i really need your help guys. thanks
Try doing a factory data reset, I had an issue with 4g not working after doing a nandroid backup with the bootstrap. Doing the reset fixed it.. Here are some simple directions how to do it.
1) Power off phone. Then power up holding Power and volume down button
2) Screen will come up with "Fastboot" press Volume down and cycle through till you get "Android Recovery" Press Volume up to select it
3) Wait for the Triangle / Android
4) Press both Volume up and volume down ... A menu will pop up..
5) Press volume down and select "Wipe Partition" by pressing power button to select it.
6) Tap volume down to select "wipe data/Factory reset" again tap power key toselct.
Once done tap power key when done using the "reboot system now"

Great... now i dont want to reflash
Your reflashing should be fine. I have flashed several times since and other than that odd anomaly with the connectivity I havent had any issues since.
Sounds like all you want is the most recent SBF, flashing it via rsd is straight forward.

Now does reflashing fully reset the phone? Remove root? Will i need to reactivate the phone?
Flashing will remove root, you will have to re-root afterwards. Use the method you are familar with, torpedo, one click root.
Activating will be done over the air, OTA.
You should as a precaution get your MSL., MIN, MDN = phone number.
MIN can be found Settings---> About phone ----> Status..
Getting your MSL you can either call Sprint or you can extract it via methods in this thread..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365058
So if it does fail to register OTA you can type ##MSL# and then input the MIN and MDN manually.
still not working
i just did a factory reset just as you've instructed but it's still not working. i live in asia and our telecom company here uses 3G. when i tried to review the phone's Sprint settings it says that the 4G and 3G is not activated. could this be the problem because the lost its activation after flashing to stock sbf? im trying to activate it via OTA but it always fails(probably because we don't have Sprint here). how can i activate 4G/3G back again overseas? thanks.
First off sorry I was of no help.
I am in the US let me see if I can find a few people who I can get you in touch with. You can PM them and chances are they can better answer your question or get you in touch with someone who can answer your question...
try getting in touch with the following through PM.
thundercles I think he is helping with the GSM lock and may have a better answer for your questions.
I know you will need some more information about the carrier you are trying to get the phone to work with. I would suggest checking for the APN information for the carrier you are trying to work with. Check the howard forums and or do searches for APN and the carrier.
Check out this thread since it deals with people using the photon in foreign countries. Chances are good you can PM any of them directly and get answers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1244836
Either way if you do get a resolution to your problem please post how you fixed it in this thread so that the next guy/gal can see some of what you did to fix the issue.

Also is an SBF have all of the Stock Applications? or do i need a all in one Zip File???
i want my phone the exact way i got it...
I also need the stock update.zip..... thx
Too many asking differing questions.
Bradley, the sbf will have the stock applications no need to get anything else unless you are going for something specific like deodexing.
Inputing the information is simple once you get your six didgit MSL, either from calling sprint, or using the method from the thread I linked to you. Calling sprint sometimes you will get someone who will not get you the MSL. Sometimes recalling them will get you someone who will give you the information.
I gaurantee that the method from the forum does work, it just takes a little patience but eventually you will get your MSL. I suppose either way will work but getting it from using the radio com program will be more rewarding since you can learn something about the phone.
I would suggest even if you do get the MSL from sprint that you for ****s and giggles use the other method. Always good to know how to get the number incase you misplace it.
Okay inputting your information is easy once you have your 6 didgit MSL. You will input it into the dialer as if you were going to make a phone call.
example msl = 123456
##123456# into the phone dialer.
Soon as you do a field will show up where you can input your information incase the phone fails to OTA register. Chances are good you will not need to do this. Good luck
Now as for the DR. I am unable to help him further since he needs to supply more information about getting his phone to work. I pointed him in the right direction and who to ask.
---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------
Brad, there are other things the msl is used for. If you were to input ##data# into the dialpad it will bring up a set of fields that you would need the MSL number to alter the contents.
There are reasons for doing this editing the multimedia field proxy information can speed up and smooth video streaming. Enough about this get your phone working first and then mess with this stuff later.

Bradley, the sbf will have the stock applications no need to get anything else unless you are going for something specific like deodexing.
Inputing the information is simple once you get your six didgit MSL, either from calling sprint, or using the method from the thread I linked to you. Calling sprint sometimes you will get someone who will not get you the MSL. Sometimes recalling them will get you someone who will give you the information.
I gaurantee that the method from the forum does work, it just takes a little patience but eventually you will get your MSL. I suppose either way will work but getting it from using the radio com program will be more rewarding since you can learn something about the phone.
I would suggest even if you do get the MSL from sprint that you for ****s and giggles use the other method. Always good to know how to get the number incase you misplace it.
Okay inputting your information is easy once you have your 6 didgit MSL. You will input it into the dialer as if you were going to make a phone call.
example msl = 123456
##123456# into the phone dialer.
Soon as you do a field will show up where you can input your information incase the phone fails to OTA register. Chances are good you will not need to do this. Good luck
Now as for the DR. I am unable to help him further since he needs to supply more information about getting his phone to work. I pointed him in the right direction and who to ask.

Brad, there are other things the msl is used for. If you were to input ##data# into the dialpad it will bring up a set of fields that you would need the MSL number to alter the contents.
There are reasons for doing this editing the multimedia field proxy information can speed up and smooth video streaming. Enough about this get your phone working first and then mess with this stuff later.

Ok so all i need is the sbf? I dont need the update.zip?
Ok how do if ny ohone has build 6 will flashing build7 cause issues and what is the difference?
Sorry im new to android
Corect no need for update.zip
198-7 is an unoficial release, it was leaked. It is however the build that almost all current roms stem from. If you plan on playing around with pseudo-roms such as jokerskinny 4G then you will want to be using 198-7.
198-6 is latest OTA push.
For more information dealing with all things moto read the consolidated posts here created by Lokifish.

Ok.. When I Try to flash with RSD LIte i get the error chipset 53 not supported any help?
What version of RSD lite are you using? Also what OS version are you using??
Hello again, I really think I messed up this time as I was trying to unlock my phone (alt carriers). I followed directions off a vague website and didn't realize it wasn't for my specific device. Any who, this is what I did.
Hidden menus were already enabled..
Dialer "*#0011#"
Menu > Back
Menu > Key Input "1"
Debug Screen > Phone Control > Network Lock
Selected PERSO SHA256 OFF
Went back to the main menu
Common > NV Rebuild > Restore Backup
Ever since doing this regardless if I revert and turn SHA back on I have data, I can text but cannot place a phone call and I get bumped off network once and a while. Any idea how I can revert these changes?
I have already factory reset / reinstalled the Rom from scratch. No change and my next step would be odin but I was hoping to avoid having to go through all that.
Any ideas?
Thank you all in advance,
Colton 22

I have also confirmed that doing an Odin I still have the same issue. .. Should I contact vzw and say my headphone jack is bad? Downloading Stock ot a update now which I dont want to do... Lock the phone down ...
[SOLVED] I have been able to revert changes to ServiceMode
I had to Odin back to stock (before root).. I used the No-wipe method offered from my phone.
secondly I actually updated stock OTA software (process failed so it didnt work ^_^ )
- (dont think this step is needed however i did it and it didnt change me to any new version. Still on MDK thankfully)
Factory reset from within system settings and allow it to delete all local sdcard data doing so,
Problem solved. Just working on getting back to my full custom status now !
ALSO FOR INFORMATION
After calling Verizon and asking if they could walk me through the process of unlocking my phone's sim card for othercarriers i was informed that the Verizion GS4 is already unlocked and shouldnt need any alt methods to do it. Just change Mobile Networks to GSM and shut down. Insert new SIM and power on.

Yup. It's not locked from the factory since they can't. I don't know what you did to your phone with the config rebuild from some random backup, but it's apparently not good. And all this to unlock something that wasn't locked in the first place. Sad.
The backup wasn't a random one, it's generated while in service mode called the 'golden backup'. There is speculation it was meant to be the script to unlock the phone but this proves that wrong. All seems well so far but I have read of others with this same issue after following the first result on Google about unlocking the GS4 (not vzw specific).
I don't understand how this could be classified as sad though. Sad would involve ignorance, not acts from being naive.
Best regards,

"Sad" as in getting and acting on bad advice. It's sad that there's so much info out there that doesn't tell people when it applies and when it doesn't, leading folks down the wrong path. YouTube is full of that kind of noise.
Indeed it is and the more popular the phone is, the more half truths are available. I do hope this post helps others who had the same issue.
When I started this I was with
Hyperdrive RLS13 OCd UVd Xposed on KToons Kernel.
Take care all and know your sources ha! Lesson learned.
