Since I can't yet post in the Development forum, I thought I would share a couple things here.
First, seems there is a bug with the *228, 2 PRL update. The automated system will confirm that the Roaming has been updated, yet the screen still shows as failed, and it takes a hard reboot to get my signal back. The first time I tried, after the reboot, my SD Card was hosed, it took a format to get it back.
Tried a second time, same thing.
Second issue, seems as though Backup Assistant and Setup Wizard are not on here, thankfully I've backed everything up with TI, but it would be quite nice to have those two back.
Thanks!
I've never seen that bug happen and I have done the PRL update a few times on CM7. Maybe someone who knows more could help you with that bug which I've never seen.However, backup assistant is a Verizon only feature and it wont work on CyanogenMod, only on TouchWiz-based ROMs and stock. The setup wizard should work after flashing gapps.

Interesting problem that I suddenly have after installing rom. First I have been installing just about every rom has come for the last 6 months. Today I installed latest Carbon ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2310695 today and it installed ok, but upon booting for the first time, it got stuck the setup right at the beginning where I press the language (English). It just sat there and didn't do anything. I tried reinstalled the rom, and it did the same thing.
So I assumed a had a bad download, so I went to restore my daily driver backup rom (Zone sense 4 rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2116509). But now I have no mobile data or mobile connection at all. I get a triangle next to the bars and whenever I restart phone I get this message "Global data roman access is allowed. Significantly higher charges may apply". I have never seen that before.
I have tried removing sim, toggling all mobile network options (CDMA, global, roaming, etc.) and I still get no connection at all. Any ideas here? I am on Verizon.

Thanks. I did that and it worked. Any thoughts on how to avoid that in future aosp roms? Did I do something wrong or is it totally random?

Its apparently random. I've had it happen twice, once back non CM10 when it just got RIL going, and a build ago on Carbon.
I'm going through this right now. I rru'd and can connect to 3g and use the data but no texts and when I try to make a call I end up with a Verizon message saying my number is inactive. Everything works fine on my backup phone. So its not a problem with Verizon
Edit... I'm going to ruu again and factory reset before booting because I think I remember seeing that posted at some point

EDIT 2.... re rru'd still having problems it will not make calls and will get 3g data when set to roaming which it seems to be on with the triangle above the signal.
anyone know the Verizon apn's i only have verizon internet in my apn list.
Edit 3 All fixed. i was factory resetting in stock recovery to no avail but a factory reset in sense itself worked

Not sure what you mean by "original radios"...
Knowing what rom/radio/kernel combo you are trying or have tried would be helpful.
Chances are after trying that many roms, that your wifi has died.
I have seen it happen to other Thunderbolts after quite some time as well.
Also make sure that you are wiping everything, (including data if you aren't) when switching roms,
or you can have old wifi configs hanging around messing things up.
Like I said though, more info would be helpful, and chances are that your wifi has decided to stop functioning on a hardware level.

I mean the combo radios provided by HTC and your combo radios for the T-bolt.
I have flashed ICE ICE BABY V1.12 ROM, LIQUID-ICS-MECHA-MR2V7 ROM, MECHA-ICS-702.605.10710RD-ODEX-Debloat ROM and the backup.I have flashed all roms properly following their own instructions.
The Sprint version of the G3 came out of the box with the ZV4 firmware, which is supposed to include the WiFi Calling app and toggle switch in Settings and Quick Settings, but of course there were a few quirks and some of us were left without this feature. No matter how many times you tried to update firmware or factory reset the phone, that app just would not appear.
Turns out after seeing this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/help/wi-fi-calling-t2827818), I was not the only person having this weird problem. Other issues that went along with this were having the stock LG boot logo and sound for startups and shutdowns instead of the Sprint Spark splash page, plus a missing Sprint Zone icon in the app drawer. During initial provisioning, it's like the phone skipped a step and did about 99% of what it was supposed to do, even installing all the preloaded Sprint bloatware.
Well, the fix is simple but I can't take credit for it. This post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54442210&postcount=28) in the other thread by bitbyter57 led me on the right path. Looks like a few users even returned their devices for new ones, but this is not necessary at all.
All that needs to be done is contact Sprint to get your MSL number via chat or just tell them you are having issues and would like to do the ##RTN# factory reset. Once you are in this menu, go to the "reset" option and input the MSL and confirm the reset. The G3 will reboot a few times and lead you through a full provisioning and setup, and all the missing features will now work.
Hope this helps!
Thank you so much for showing a way for how to get the MSL. I have been looking all day with no success until I found your post. I now have WiFi calling back along with the boot/shutdown logo. Thanks again.
Doh Rereally?
Thank you for this information.
Do you think with the lollipop update that the wifi calling witll be fixed?
I spent a good amount of time setting my phone up the way I like it. I guess i could reset it, ...is the wifi calling worth it?
Just curious, I had the same problems...no boot etc....I got my G3 about 3 weeks ago.
thanks any help would be appreciated

Yes. You can try ##UPDATE# sometimes that works, without erasing data

I backed up all my data before I did this. It erased all my apps but other data was still on internal storage. Images download folders extra.. backup anything you don't want to lose.

It's hard to know if Lollipop will fix this bug, but I wouldn't be surprised either way.
Honestly, if you don't need WiFi Calling because you have a good cell signal everywhere, I wouldn't reset everything and start over. I did mine because I didn't have anything set up yet, so it was easy to just get the process over with in case I ever need WiFi Calling. I did try the feature and it works well, but since then I just leave it turned off.
Thanks a lot : ) worked like a charm
i had to call sprint 3 times before they gave me the msl code, i was suggested 2 other ways of "activating" my device, just be persistent and nice if they dont give it to you right away
Thanks for this fix! @engine95 pointed out this same fix, and now WiFi calling is working great. I work in the lower level of a 5-story building, and my battery would drain by 50% by the end of the day while my radio struggled to find a signal. Now my wife can bug me at work without me having to run upstairs on my breaks! :good:

Worth a shot rebooting my phone, getting the msl code etc....

I updated my phone earlier and I just got done putting it back but now I am stuck not having the wifi calling and sprint stuff/logo
I wanted to do this before I re-rooted and added all the stuff I want

In the dialer.
Try ##72786# first.
If that doesn't work, ##RTN#. but you'll need your MSL for that one.
Thanks, I think the letters threw me off, called sprint since i needed to do the ##RTN#
Sent from my LGLS990 using XDA Free mobile app
Is there any other way? Could it be added to a custom rom to flash? I'm worried about loosing the ability to root and this wouldn't be worth that. I had sprint try to set it up for me and they activated it on my account. Did the ##72786 thing now I have the apk file on the phone but it won't install. There are a couple other wifi calling apk files that are there as well. Can you flash an apk file to force it to install?

Wifi calling is in every stock Rom we have. I don't know why it doesn't activate on it own. I've LGFlashtooled a few times and every single time I have had to ##RTN# to get it back.
After that, ever stock Rom has had it working for me when I flashed it.
If you've never activated it, it won't install on any stock Rom either. Unless you ##SCRTN#, which hasn't worked for me, or ##RTN# the flashed ROM.
I wished I could do something about it, but I can't.

Ok, so if I did the ##rtn# and my phone was zv4 to begin with does it revert to zv4 cause I flashed zv6 odex already? Then I can get wifi calling set up and use stump root, install TWRP and restore my backup? I guess I am not sure what those commands will do to the phone. This is crazy, almost too much hassle., kinda ticked off it didn't come ready on the phone.

You're thinking into it to much. Lol
If you already flashed ZV6 from this forum, then you already have root/unlock.
If you don't have wifi calling, then just ##RTN#. But you need your MSL to do it. When you do that it'll reset everything and you'll start from scratch. So you should try ##SCRTN# first and see if that works.
If you update OTA to zv6, then you can not root it. And you'll have to revert back to ZV4.
Edit. Make sure to back up your EFS first!

I tried ##scrtn# a few times and it didn't work. The Sprint rep walked me through it the first time and I played with it a couple more times hoping it would work, but no luck.. I'm rooted zv6 now and backed up my EFS using TWRP. I didn't take the OTA update, I got the zv6 ODEX version in your other post.
So, If I get my MSL and do ##rtn# I worry about that start from scratch thing. Does that mean the phone will be like it was the day I picked it up, before I stump rooted and twrp'ed? Or does it mean it will be like I just flashed your ZV6 rom and had to re-set up the phone the way I like it but I didn't need to re-root or install twrp.. I'm sure I'm thinking way too hard when it's probably really not that difficult, my apologies for being thick headed. :silly: could be cause it's late. Anyway, I'm on duty tomorrow, if we are slow I might get to work on this. Later

Do this to backup/restore EFS. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56058409&postcount=1
You can follow this to get your MSL. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54912206&postcount=4 Or call Sprint but they might hassle you.
When you do the reset, you will keep root/unlock. You'll just have to set everything back up. I think, and I might be remembering wrong, but once you have Wifi calling enabled, I think you can restore from a backup and retain Wifi Calling.
If that's was wrong, you'll have wifi callng on the other Roms until you use Flashtool.
Hopefully that makes sense.
Worst case scenario:
Flash any ZV6 Rom
Get through the preliminary setup, then do ##RTN#. It'll reset everything
Good to go.
You can still flash any other Rom, and you'll have Wifi Calling.
