You'd have to have the stock SBF file to flash back to stock. I think Yay had it in one of his threads.
rooted, unlocked, and running homebase 2.1 with the 4.3 update when it started...now im on yay's newest .sbf update....still no change...i dont know how to do a hard reset without being able to access the settings menu on the phone...it doesnt even load to the home screen...just stays "contacting network"...i do have a signal..

What recovery have you got now if you've flashed the latest sbf? Clockwork or stock?
If stock follow this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1267740
If Clockwork recovery then get into it and clear all user data/factory reset

SBF has not been working for myself and many other xda members... how can you use sbf to solve the problem if it won't work??? Has anyone successfully used it on the Photon? I am familiar with SBFing, but not on the photon... I know that it is the same, but it could be faulty sbf files... anyone have any tips?
The same problem
I have the same problem. I use my Photon in Russia with gsm sim card. At first everything was fine, the phone was looking Sprint's network for a long time, then gave an error that "can not be activated", and loaded on (works fine). But now, always looking for the network. And do nothing. Wipe and flashing other roms do not help.
Any ideas?

did you relock the bootloader in fastboot or by flashing the sbf file?
What file are you using to relock the bootloader via fastboot? The lock file is an sbf and has to been done via RSD.

I figured out hot to get over contacting network... just power and vol down and select Boot-Android (no BP) this will boot you up with no modem, so activation fails, select airplane mode, restart.
When it restarts it will say that the handsfree activation cannot be done with airplane mode on, just hit ok and move on.
When you get into the homescreen just turn off airplane mode. so everything is on now. the last things i need are the settings to get this working with 3g now, because i can get voice and 4g to work.
If 3g doesn't authentificate you cannot update your profile, therefor no 3g data and if you start a profile update you will get into the same loop of Contacting Network...
Also in RSD Lite my phone has a nice field that says:
Phone Type: Engineering (0000000000000000000000000000).. check the attachement

If you can get the file to lock via fastboot I can see about keeping the oc kernel.

I dont recall the exact name of the apk, sorry

that's not the issue. the issues is that it isn't authentication with the 3g, 4g works, voice works.
I need to make it authentificate with the network so i can update the profile and PRL. My PRL is 51079.
Can anyone post the 51082 prl. I want to see if that does anything.
I hate to do this but a real fix is to call sprint and ask for
Msl
Esn
Min
data profile username and password
Then go to dialer
type ##data#
Edit accordingly
Reboot
update msl
Update profile

I tried to set my photon up for GSM while i used a nexus s 4g... now i didn't know how SLOW the nexus was compared to the photon so now i'm trying to make the photon my primary again. I flashed the KDDI radio but never even got it to work with any of my sim cards (never got any phone service) but it always recognized the different carriers i tried out. Now i tried to SBF back to stock to retain my service but that was a no go and i tried RSD'n 3 times -__- now i'm not sure what to try out

im not getting any error.. i'm able to sbf its just the radio is sticking to the kddi one. I'm using 2.3.4
Have you tried factory reset from the stock recovery? When you get to the screen with the triangle and the Android guy, hit vol up and down and a menu will pop up. Factory reset from there and re flash the sbf

there is no sbf for kddi.
As I've learned, custom ROMs don't traditionally come with radios so, flashing them (meaning the custom ROMs) won't affect whatever radio is currently on the device - you have to do it manually to upgrade/downgrade if that's the intention.
Where can i find the sv1 198_7 radio from peetrs

I had the same problem till I ditched TWRP for CWM. My I717 seems to like ClockworkMod better. Just couldn't get TWRP to flash the modem correctly. *#06# will give you the "Null Null" IMEI message if you have the same problem as me. Use Kies to recover and initialize the device, its under "Tools". When done you will be on JB with proper IMEI. Flash CWM through odin and go from there.
**EDIT**
Turns out that the problem I was having might have been because of outdated modem files. The issue is resolved for me with the modems at the following link. 4g lte has never been this fast before these drivers. Fast and stable, be sure to give the OP a thank you.

I've been having the same issue. I started with Stock, went to CWM ver 6, CM 10.1. Decided to flash a modem, and then it would say unknown baseband / no phone number / no IMEI. After trying many modems and restores, I have restored through KIES back to factory as of now.
If anyone has an idea, it would be appreciated.
I live in Florida the only way I get 4g LTE is with stock modem...I used to have the same issue...so I just keep it stock...

I did the .165 update 2 weeks ago and since then i have not had 4g in an area i always have before and my fiance with same carrier has a strong 4G signal. I was on 1x data for a few days but managed to get 3g back with a sim card and few resets...phone works fine other than that.
installed no apps recently such as battery saver etc.
I've tried fastbooting back with rsd to 9.8.2O-72_VZW-16 build.
tried a fresh fastboot to .165
Tried wiping system cache in recovery.
global networks set to cmda/lte
tried cdma/lte/evdo and a few others.
Tried flashing cm10.2 rom with safestrap
safemode still only 3G.
I replaced sim card.
hard reset and factory reset from recovery mode.
Im at a loss im not sure what else to try. I cant get a replacement although im eligable for upgrade but im grandfathered into an unlimited data package that they want to take away if i do that.
I believe its a corrupted radio file issue but im not sure. I assumed rsd would fix that.
I was on phone with verizon 8 hours over 3 days and finally the guy there recommended me to just use fastboot files. He was pretty cool.
Motorola doesnt want to talk to me at all and blame verizon for there update.
I was hoping someone could recommend anything else to try. I hate not having 4G. Spoiled i guess. So I decided to ask the real experts and the most helpful community XDA. Thanks in advance.

U can call your provider and they may push you a new prl. Have u tried powering down. Remove sim. Power back on wait for no sim to show. Power off. Put sim back in and then power back on. If that doesn't work then u can get a new sim from from carrier and that should fix your Perl update

I really need some help. I have used the stock NAB from Frezza to upgrade from MJ4 on my SMN900P. I flashed it step by step added CF root set by set. I also flashed TWRP set by set. But now i have a phone that will not get the mobile connection. I have a red X on my signal bars. I don't know what to do but i have been looking and looking. I wonder if some how the modem got messed up. If so do you think i can flash the NAB modem to the phone and restore the service.

Have you tried reflashing the tar through Odin? I would download a new copy first. You may have had a corrupt download the first time around. This is just a guess but you never know. It can't hurt to try. The worst thing that could happen is you will have to root and flash TWRP again.

I am having the same problem too. I haven't been able to fix it either. Im guessing id have to rebuild the efs. Also does anyone know the msl for a device that has no esn meid or imei? I tried the correct MSL's I programmed and none work. Someone please help I am a noob here and phones are kinda new to me. I'm computer savy though, so that has helped quite a bit.

Seems like we've all encountered this problem when it comes to flashing our phones from Sprint to another company because I've recently needed help fixing my 'red x' when I updated to KitKat. And I have to use the MJ4 modem as well, the NAB doesn't work.
Does anyone know what the problem could be, & why our phone only works on JellyBean modems?
I'm thinking because they found a way to lock the modem to only work on sprint. I'm going thru the same.
