if its not getting signal i recommend maybe flashing a new modem, JI6 Modem?

A new modem may do the trick. ^

Mr orannge he actually bought it off craigslist list from a guy who turned out to be a t mobile employee and it was his personal phone so I doubt its stolen. And I did I flashed axura, r14 then put stock back then the ji6 update. None worked and no rom will the guy said its blocked. I just want to figure out wut this means and how to fix it for him

I believe I have the latest software from moto ....it ends with MR1
Correct me if Im wrong
Problem. Is when I make or receive phone calls I get no audio what so ever....only fix I have found is rebooting the phone
I have read a little round here. Sounds like im not the only one....I also have another photon as well. From a different store...my girl and I both have one.....hers does the same thing
Sprint told me this was a known issue and the problem is with Motorola software and are waiting for a update
I read somewhere bout a oem software upgrade that u could manually dl and install ...and further read that they already started implementing in a OTA ....my phone says its up to date...am I tight. Do I have the newest software? ??
If I do I have the newest software ....well the problem still happens....a few times a day....super frustrating

Purchased a Note 2 off Craigslist... need to Rom it but have questions

The phone has superuser on it already. I downloaded ROM manager to check the recovery and it has CWM and TWRP. Is it safe to install custom roms or is there other steps that I need to take? The baseband is vraljb.... Android version 4.1.1
Thank you in advance.

If you can boot into the custom recovery, you can flash a custom rom.
Great idea I will try that. Thats why you guys are the best.

If you do an insurance job and get another phone. They don't ban your original for weeks. So he could activate it. But it's still on a list to be banned.

If its legit, then you got a killer deal. The cheapest GN2 that I've seen was $350 but it had a cracked screen. I see some for $200-250, but I am sure those are scams. The next time you buy a Verizon phone, call *611 and verify the ESN status before handing over money or trading phones. A legit seller will not mind at all.

Sms error on sense 5 4.2.2 stock.

Hi all I am getting this error when sending sms messages. It happens at random times. I have contacted Verizon one time and the rep said they haven't seen this before and have no idea what the issue is. I contacted htc and they also said they don't know and want me to pay to send my phone in. I refuse to send it in because I'm fairly sure this is a bug in the sense 5 update. Here are some screen shots of the error.
Is anyone else getting this error, or has anyone else found a fix for it?
Thanks in advanced.

I also get the same error on viper and stock.
I'm going to try a new sim card even though I think it may be something different.
I have tried just about everything and spent 2 hours with HTC to only be told that they don't know what the problem is. So no one knows...

Its vey annoying restarting your phone 80000 times a day.
Yeah it is. I'm chatting with Verizon now and see what they have to say about it. At this point I'm ready to Chuck this phone at them. It's an amazing phone when it works. Did you only get this error when you were on sense 5?

Are you using the stock messaging app or have you seen this error with 3rd party ones too.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Got off support with Verizon and he basically said it looks like a software bug and I can send you a replacement device. That makes 0 sense because if it's a software issue it's still going to be present on a replacement device. They basically said I don't know what I can do for you so that's some pretty ****ty customer support but what else is new from Verizon. They could give a **** about their customers.

Well I didn't start getting the error tell I RUU my device back to 2.07 and updated to 3.06. I use stock.
Sucks for me I don't have insurance on my device.
Yeah I don't have any as well but I'm in my warranty for another 9 days. However I don't think it's hardware it's looking like a bug in the sense 5 update. They both offered to repair my device and I won't go that route because I know nothing is wrong with it. So for now I guess I will have to use a 3rd party messaging app and wait to see if I get any errors.

Most people are probably on custom roms so they aren't experiencing it. Or maybe it doesn't bother people enough to report it. It was just happening to me so much I got fed up and contacted support but they proved useless so I guess I'm just going to have to use a 3rd party messaging app until they fix it if they ever do.

Store can't control it. POS is normally locked down until release date. It would need to be a company decision.
The CS reps have no clue what is going on. A supervisor just told me most people won't receive them this week. I think he had no idea.
Sounds like not.
If I don't have mine on the 11th I'm gonna ask for a credit.
