Don't know what happened but my MoPho is stuck in GSM/UMTS. How do I get it back on CDMA??
I'm a MoPho-er
a/s/l?
What you running?
If stock you need to sbf.
If not stock you can change the settings in the aosp hidden menu.
*#*#4636#*#*
Select the operating mode you want in the phone info menu.

Dumb question. What is A/S/L?
Stock/rooted.
*#*#4636#*#* is set to cdma only. will not provision to network.
Do you have a sim card in? Try the sprint sim card. If you do you should be able to switch in settings.

Done it with sprint sim in, sprint sim out, hard reset, etc. Right now it's a brick. I'll sbf and if that don't work I'll take it to the store.
Well it's working again. This issue required an SBF to fix it. It kinda sucks that you can't get off GSM and back on CDMA any other way. Looks like there is an issue in the MoPho's software that Moto/Sprint didn't think about.
On my WinXP system I just couldn't get RSD to work without a hassle, so I gave up on it. Now I have a Win7 machine and RSD setup and ran like a pro!! SBF via RSD was a snap!!!
Now all I have to do is get all my apps set back up.
That was just for the lulz. A s l is old speek for picking up people on chat rooms and such. Age sex and location. I was basically asking you what the status is of your phone. You gave no details. Glad you got it fixed. I went through the same thing.

The Thunderbolt is the first phone that I have rooted so I am still new to this. Can I still use the Verizon *228 to update roaming or will that mess up something since I am rooted? I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Shea
*228 doesnt work on the thunderbolt..it runs off a sim card...there has been talk that trying *228 may negatively affect the sim..your more than welcome to search...
Read somewhere that you actually can't hit *228 on the Thunderbolt--phone won't allow it. Haven't tried it myself though...as stated its supposed to screw up the phone.
Update roaming
Is it unnecessary to update the roaming on the TB?

I've tried it a couple times. It doesn't do anything. You hit 'send' and it just goes back to the dialer screen. Phone still works flawlessly.
If for some strange reason you are able to get *228 to work you will fry your SIM card. Don't do it. You thunderbolt is designed to update your roaming list (also known as PRL) every time it boots up. Hit a new city? Just reboot the phone and you should be good to go.
from what i have been reading and understand, the thunderbolt auto updates the PRL (roaming capabilities) upon boot if and updated one is available.

My co-workers phone service got cut off recently, and after it was re-connected, she lost 4G. I had her on Synergy 255 and had the latest radios I found which was CDMA: 1.48.00.0906 LTE: 0.01.78.0906. Even when I updated her to Synergy 262, the problem persisted.
Anyone know what might have happened, I know the recent OTA update for gingerbread has been giving people problems, is it possible the OTA update problem also affected her phone since she was already in gingerbread?
I just put BAMF Forever 1.0.7 on her phone, and it's still only able to connect to 3G, is the problem on verizon's side?
Check your settings in say an app like LTE on/off make sure she is in LTE mode or cdma/LTE

tried to put her on LTE mode only a few time before, and she can only get 1x speed.
Unroot it, return to stock with the full RUU and see if its busted. If it is you probably have a bad radio in the phone...I had to send my first TB back a week after I got it for this reason.....
Customer service was very helpful believe it or not, just make sure you tell them you have already done a hard reset on the phone, done the OTA's and 4G still doesn't work. The will ask you your build number, etc. to make sure it matches what's "in the system".
So just return to unrooted Froyo, do any and all upgrades to get it current, if it still doesn't work you should be able to get a new phone.

I'm hoping I don't have to go there, but it seems I'm not the only one with the problem, since I found some people with similar dilemma on the radio thread.

Sim card
Another idea is that the sim card is dead.
Verizon 4G sim cards can't be reactivated once their deactivated, this happens when you try activate a 3G phone on verizon from a 4G phone, the sim will be dead in 24 hours, I'm guessing the problem may be the same here, once the SIM was disconnected in the system, it can't be reactivated.
Unfortunately to get a new sim, you'll still have to return to unrooted stock to get support from Verizon, but I expect the phone itself is just fine.
Verizon employees are still somewhat inexperienced dealing with these 4G sim cards from what I've seen in stores, so they may have failed to account for that when they reactivated the service.
That seems more likely to me than the phone just happened to break when the service was disconnected.
Did you ever try just flashing another radio? It's worth a try. I would try flashing the radios from the 1.70.605.0 build.

You we're exact on the mark about the sim registration. I told her to replace the sim. And sure enough it worked after it was activated. Glad I didn't I have to resort to going stock and unrooting... She probably would've beat me up...

So after reading through all the posts about flashing my phone to ics from droidstyle's post, i ended up trying to flash my phone from 2.3.5 (which I was not able to update normally by my crappy carrier) to one of the ics roms. Which ended up giving me zero 3g access. My question is are their specific files i can pull from a working Showcase with the latest carrier supported os, to put on my phone after i flash it to ics to get it to access 3g again? My problem is all these roms and what not tend to be based off verizons phone the fascinate. Which as far as i can tell are almost identiacal except a few differences. I dont have verizon as my carrier but a little kansas based one called nex-tech.
there is a 3g data fix.zip floating around here somewhere in this section...thats what u need.
*edit found it

So that'll fix it? Ur awesome. I tried searching about 3g but I couldn't find anything

go to rootzwiki and download the stock eh09 or ei20 package then follow the going back to stock part of the guide.
ok, so after all that i still dont have 3g access. Tried reverting back to 2.3.5 but it wont give me my 3g back at all.

most likely you will have to call your carrier and have them do a esn swap or activate a old phone on your line then switch back.
I went down to the office and they did a swap of a phone they had in the building. No luck what so ever. My girl friend and i have the same exact phone, minus a small hardware update between them. Ive completely erased all of my phone and flashed a generic showcase rom and updated through their website. They programmed it and all that jazz but no luck...
phone info
hardware version 1500.05
firmware version 2.3.5
Baseband version S:i500.05 K.EI20
Biuld number SCH-I500.EI20
If u need any other info im happy to do anything to get this damned 3g back

You want an easy fix? Activate it on a Verizon account....
I'm not trying to offend you, but Samsung created it for Verizon network...you might be able to program it to work on another, but you might not...idk
DROID DOES, Apple did...like I forgot when
Well the phone is a Nex-tech phone, that is where i bought it from. That is the local cell phone provider here. Its worked flawlessly rooted for almost 6 months. Then i decided to try and get ics on it and followed the guide droid so awesomely wrote up for everyone. It didnt work so well for me, because Nex-tech is some random generic cdma cellphone provider.

I had a Sprint Epic for a brief time but live in an area where it was using Nex-tech's towers since Nex-tech is part of Sprint's roaming alliance. I was running custom Froyo roms from XDA because there was no official Froyo release at the time. After a few months it had the same problem with losing 3G. I spent two hours on it with Sprint's tech support and never got it to work again. They even sent me a refurbed phone and it failed right out of the box. They wanted me to drive to the nearest store to have them activate it, which was 1 1/2 hours away when it should have been able to activate thru Nextech's system. Needless to say I ate the ETF and got a Fascinate.
My theory is Nextech has some kind of black list that shuts off data on phones it thinks are roaming for an excessive amount of time. Maybe switching to an ICS Rom designed for the Fascinate might have triggered that.
Good luck with getting it working. The main thing that keeps me from going back to Nextech is their lame tech support and huge repair times instead of refurbished swapouts. I keep hoping when Nextech's contract with Sprint is up next year maybe Sprint will come out here.

Well to start with, I am from India and used many handsets with Reliance CDMA. In past, I have used Palm Pre and Pixi, HTC EVO, EVO 3D, Samsung Fascinate, Epic 4G touch, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, etc. All handsets were fully configured to work for Voice, SMS and 3G/Evdo data.
Background:
To get any device running on my network, the MEID has to be registered with the network, PRL to be uploaded, PPP and HDR user/pass has to be injected and it starts working. Procedure remain different from one device to another but majorly the above has to be done.
My network has Rev:a EVDO service besides 1x.
The problem:
The problem is with EVO 4G LTE is that I am not able to getting Evdo/3G signals.
Observations:
As soon as I turn on the phone, the network starts to show 1x-RTT instead of EvDo-rev.A:8 which appears on my other phone. The place where I am is well covered by EVDO/3G network so I dont think problem from that side. .
What I tried:
1. Correctly configuring the user/pass using DFS and QPST.
3. Uploading RCDMA PRL using CDMA WS, QPST and DFS.
4. Downgrading radio version for all available radios.
Earlier I felt that due to radio version, the problem is arising but I have tried with all the radio versions but the problem is still there. So now I feel that due to something is preventing the phone to connect with EvDo network.
Looking forward to you guys to diagnose and solve the issue!
Few screenshots:
These are screenshots from 2 phone, left one is mine which is stuck on 1x and the other one is fascinate which has Evdo working. Let me know if something can me made out of it. (My Country code is 404 00)
Any help guys....

I have confirmed once again from my service providers and my line is working fine, so something is wrong with the phone only. Guys, please help me.
Have you tried ##SCRTN# ? Type that into your dial pad. You will need to know your MSL, which you can get by downloading an MSL reader from google play.
If that doesn't work then try unrooting and relocking your phone. If it's still a no go, then take your phone to a Sprint S&R store. Make sure it's at least relocked before you take it because they will most likely want to try flashing the phone with their RUU which it needs to be locked to do.
If that doesn't work for them then they will need to replace it because it's most likely a hardware issue. If you don't pay for TEP then you'll have to pay $35+tax to have them do that.
Have you gone into the dialer settings and changed the frequency to either of the two options? If so, you need to be on the PCS band where Sprint gives their 3G. It's normally on automatic but after changed, it is NOT easy to get back to automatic.

Unfortunately, I am not on Sprint. I want to understand how can there be a hardware fault when the radio works well on 1x but not on 3G? Also, all other things are working fine for me.
Seems very illogical to me!

Hey guys,
I have had this Droid RAZR for a while, It was a Verizon contract phone then after the contract was up I flashed it to Page Plus 3G. Well I went ahead and bought a S3 and no longer need the RAZR. I sold it to my girlfriends brother, he is on Verizon contract. I put the SIM in and it didn't change things like the SID, PRL Version, etc. I went through the phone turning on the 4G, using ##7764726, entered SPL, choose 14, sim type back to commercial, turned bbpanic off, the back to menu, choose 06, next, next, change network mode to LTE, CDMA, EVDO, AND GSM. The 4G data works, however when I attempt to make a phone call I get a message saying "welcome to verizon wireless, your mobile number is either not active or not working".
I hope someone can help me. I surely don't want to make my girlfriends family mad as many of you could surely understand. A happy woman=a happy life. Okay, thanks guys.
Can I use a RTN (Return to Network) ## code to make this happen? I've tried the one for my Galaxy s3 but it doesn't work on the RAZR.
Just use Rsd lite to flash it back to stock thats it.
