In regards to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680567
I'm running into some issues at the moment- I had originally tried this on one of the cleanroms, but have since moved to SlimRom, everything else in the Rom works fine, but the data is now VERY spotty. When I look in the data settings it shows the "CDMA+LTE/EVDO Auto", but it functions as though it is LTE, CDMA- that is the data modes I see are either 4G or 1x, I NEVER see 3G anymore regardless of location. However, if I try and change the data settings to anything else (CDMA (Auto PRL) for instance) it just immediately resets the value/entry to "CDMA+LTE/EVDO Auto" regardless of the entry I select.
Any help/advise would be appreciated- is there a radio etc I can/should reflash? I'm root + S-ON, I have not gone S-OFF yet.
Thanks!
Make a nandroid of your setup, run the ruu your on and clear storage in bootloader
Ok- I'm still having the same issues- this is what I've done-
1. Took full TI Backup
2. Relocked bootloader
3. Loaded 3.14.605.10 RUU from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703539 (added to SDCard, loaded via Recovery, with reboots to get all parts)
4. Unlocked via HTCDev
5. Loaded TWRP 2.2.0 via fastboot from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613576
6. Ran Factory Reset, and cleared cache in TWRP
7. Flashed Slim 1.7 from TWRP from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704212
8. Mounted SD card to USB via TWRP and copied over PH98IMG.ZIP from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704212
9. Rebooted to bootloader and loaded PH98IMG.ZIP
10. Rebooted into ROM
11. Attempted manual -> Dial "*#*#4636#*#*" but it does not bring anything up at all
12. Loaded LTE SwitchIT utility from market which brings up radio selection screen
13. From Radio selection screen attempted to change to CDMA (Auto PRL) but will not actually change
Please advise
So, another observation- it appears there is just no 3G at all. I can get it to stick in CDMA Auto mode, but only goes to 1x. From some googling it looks like the tooltip had similar issues at times that could be resolved via he ##778# screen. However, that does not appear to work/exist for the rom I'm on.
Can someone please tell me how to get to the epst menus for this release, or the best method for going back to stock? (hoping I can get o hose menus from here) thank you

Yes what he says. Run the RUU and the next thing you do is go into bootloader and select factory reset (or whatever it says there). Many people have repaired corrupted radio partitions by doing this.
Before flashing your favorite recovery/rom perhaps it is wise to use the ruu and see if your data is ok. If satisfied that it is, then flash away!!!!

Relocked the bootloader again and ran the 3.14.605.10 RUU same results. Was able to go into the ##778 menu and adjust the Rev.A settings, but that had no positive change. Reverted it, and still having the same issues. I can get either 4G or 1x, but no 3G whatsoever, and if I try and select "CDMA auto (PRL)" it just immediately switches to "CDMA + LTE/EvDo Auto" Additionally, if I try and turn off LTE via the Mobile Network Settings from LTE/CDMA to CDMA Only it won't hold the settings. I can get it to stay in "CDMA Only" via the Phone Info settings, but it will only go to 1x.
What else can I try? Could something possibly be going on with the SIM? What else can I check?

Did you perform the factory reset as I suggested after you flashed the RUU and before you did anything else? Don't know if that is the prob. though. The only other thing I can think of is to make sure your back cover is on tight and that all the antenna contact are out so they make contact when the cover is put on.

Did not do the factory reset, but will try that next. Back cover is on well, and I have a good strong 4G signal, just like I can get a decent 1X signal, I just can't get it to switch to 3G
EDIT: Just reloaded the RUU and did a Factory Reset from Bootloader and everything seems to be working now! I'm off to re-load Slim and cross my fingers. Thanks for the help!

Are you unable to make or receive calls? What ROM were you running before flashing GSB? Did you do a full data wipe before flashing GSB?

FYI if this helps, or even if it doesn't, you can see the MEID number underneath the battery. I find that you usually have to use the HEX version on Verizon's website. I don't know if this will help you, however, because flashing ROMs does not affect activation status.
Is this the number you're looking for?

i was running the factory default phone, i wiped everything and flashed the rom i linked on it, i can receive calls, voicmails, texts, mms, the internet is fine, but its not connecting to the towers near me, its picking up off different towers and the person at verizon said i need to change the SID number to 30730 which i know what one to change and i know where it is, i just cant access that part of the phone to change it because i dont know what program number to use.
flash the official RUU and start fresh possibly can fix the problem and re-root then flash new rom

To my knowledge, the ROMs do not alter any activation state of the phone* - that stuff is held in a hidden partition (the "mfg" partition, I suspect) in the flash memory chip that are never touched by any of the usual ROM flashing operations. That's why you can change ROMs and maintain the same activation and PRL data from ROM to ROM. So, I don't know why your phone's tower association would have changed if was working correctly before flashing a developer ROM.
*The only exception to this is if you perform a factory reset with the stock recovery on the phone - that does clear the activation state of the phone. The "factory reset/wipe data" menu entry of the custom recovery doesn't touch activation data or PRLs, though.
If that's what happened, then you might have to temporarily revert to a stock ROM - just don't use the factory reset procedure on the stock ROM before you re-root the phone. (BTW, you could certainly use the March 2011 OTA stock ROM - installing it won't overwrite your custom recovery, so you can simply do a nandroid backup/restore to get back to your current setup - no need to "re-root" if you do that.)
There's probably something I don't understand about the situation you are describing, unless it has something to do with towers that were acquired from a different carrier (Alltel?) by Verizon - under normal circumstances, your phone would prefer to connect to the best signal within it's home network, assuming that there are not other problems that prevent that from happening (such as call congestion through a certain tower). Perhaps the towers you want to connect to are actually considered to be "roaming" by the PRL you have on your phone, and that's why the more distant VZW towers are chosen?

i will try this but before i do i'll try to explain a bit more, when i call the normal eris programming number, it tries to actually make a call instead of giving me the option to go into edit mode, now when im on the stock rom i can do it but as soon as i flash any other rom on it, it doesnt allow me to do so. i had a rom from a droid 2 on it and when i used the droid 2 programming number it worked just fine and i could edit the info. hope this helps clarify a bit, and thanks for the help

^This sentence confuses the crap out of me. I read it 5 or 6 times, and have no idea what sequence of operations you performed. I only have a vague idea that you can't get something to work.
If you can't access the EPST menu, how can you see what the settings are?
Here is what everybody has said so far (basically the same thing, but in different ways) :
- The EPST menus are generally not available in custom ROMs, especially any of the AOSP (Froyo/Gingerbread) ROMs. You need a stock, or near-stock ROM to be guaranteed that they will be available
- The same thing is true of "secret dial code menus". They don't exist in custom ROMs, unless those custom ROMs are nearly identical to stock ROMs (that is, directly derived from a stock ROM).
If you want to try it, you can flash either a RUU or PB00IMG.zip file - these operations flash a "nvram" file (*.nb0), which conceivably resets PRL and other non-ROM settings. After doing that, and fooling with EPST using a stock ROM, you will need to re-root.
As I mentioned, you should not run a "factory reset" procedure on your phone after you have configured what you want (with EPST) when there is a STOCK recovery on the phone.
Beyond that, I'm sort of mystified why you are unsatisfied with a phone that appears to be working normally. (What application are you using to determine cell phone tower? Are you inferring that from location services (Google Maps) with GPS and WiFi location services turned off?)

My network settings switched to gsm, they should be "cdma", im sprint cust and live in US. Ill change setting back to cdma, as soon as I back out 1 screen then go back in the setting will have auto changed back to gsm. I tried to do a recovery and phone would not load recovery (fail). I have found out that the install_recovery.sh file is nowhere on the phone. I just tried unlocking bootloader which was successful and then flashed cwm 5.0.2.7photon3 and sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198-7-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US. Also cleared phone a few times and anyway booted up then and it was still auto switching itself to gsm after Id change it to cdma. Im stumped, could anyone help me, or does any1 possibly have idea what might be causing this. I also tried flashing radio from "halfevildruid" thread, that did not work either. PLEASE HELP, WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THANKS. I hope I posted in correct place, sorry if not. I looked around for quite awhile so it would be in correct place.
*#*#4636#*#*
Select "Phone information"
scroll down to "Select preferred network type" and select CDMA Auto (PRL)
Reboot
Q-In settings/about phone what is you PRL?
Q-Which radio did you flash?
Also install_recovery.sh removes CWM on every reboot and replaces it with stock recovery. So do you want a locked phone or unlocked phone? If you want unlocked then you do not want install_recovery.sh.
Have you tried to flash the stock sbf and starting over?
Lokifish Marz I will get info and post back shortly, thanks for the quick reply.

Thanks you for the reply Lokifish,
I hope I am replying back the correct way ( hitting the quote button), anyways I have now got the cm 9 6282012 installed on phone and seems to be working good except my phone is still set on gsm and when Im going to apn's there is no info there it is blank. I went into phone info #*#*4636*#*# and change the setting to "cdma auto prl" and reboot the phone and its still on gsm. I have noticed something in the forums, should I flash the beta 3.1 cm9 file? (which I have not done, but I have flashed the gapps file though) and if so should that be done after flashing the cm9 6282012?
by the way im running cm9 and I go into settings/ about phone/ I don't find any prl. nor do I find it in the *#*#4636#*#* either. Would greatly appreciate any help please
still stuck

1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_6-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf Anyways I had tried this file but didn't have any luck.
As of now I have cm9 installed and running except for my sprint cdma network, I do have wifi. but in apn settings it is just blank.
I have a question along the same line. I recently rooted my mopho, keep having an issue installing bootstrap recovery. It seems to continually load when I try to install recovery. Also superuser keeps denying access to system recovery install. Idk if it had to do with the continually loading or if it's a separate issue. I even went in and allowed access with no help still. I'm tring to keep 4g, so I'm staying locked for the time being. Just such a pain, coming from htc evo 4g & 3D.... Never again will I buy moto. Should have done some research before buying. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a safe way to RUU and re root my phone. I messed with some settings in the *#*#4636#*#* menu (the bands setting) and I was told the only way to make the settings not lock me to the bands I check would be to RUU or factory reset.
My goal is to be rooted at the end of the day!
Any help is much appreciated
I may be wrong, but I think if you reflash a rom those settings will be reset. I don't think you need to run the ruu.
Hmmm, I'll do some poking around after work this evening and share what I read on the forums. I think these settings are stored on a part of the device that doesn't get wiped when flashing to a new ROM. Much like (if not exactly the same) as where the PRL and Profile information is stored.
You should be able to reset that setting by doing a wipe from the ##786# menu, assuming you're on a sense rom. (Ran into the exact some problem myself)
Just type that code into your dialer, hit the Menu? button at the top right, tap reset and enter your MSL and you're good to go. The phone will reset itself and reactivate with Sprint.

What exactly does this code do? Will this factory reset my phone? I don't want to do that because it might make me lose root, right?
If you're running a rooted ROM, it shouldn't make you lose root. I ran it many times on the Stock w/Goodies ROM with no ill effects. It reboots and runs a script that erases data/cache (basically a factory reset) as well as resetting all the Sprint stuffs, including that band thing you were talking about.
It doesn't touch system, so the rom itself and root aren't affected.

Running CM10 Stable - current config:
UNLOCKED (HTD Dev)
S-ON
HBOOT-1.19.000
RADIO-1.12.11.0809
Since flashing CM10 this weekend, my mobile data has gone in the toilet. Network/"no connection" errors and gray bars way more often, despite not changing a thing about my radios. Weirdly, if I turn on wifi, it seems to improve my reception as well (as in, I'm not on a wifi network - just the act of switching on wifi somehow gooses network performance, but only a little.) I haven't done better than two blue bars since I did this, and I've only seen "4G" once. I used to get far better than that.
Checked Settings, everything seems fine. Thoughts? More data needed?

Thanks - do I need to re-lock as part of this, or simply flash Sense, re-provision, re-flash CM? Just want to keep this painless.
You don't relock
(n00bish question alert) Is there a way to re-flash Sense from a .zip with TWRP? Trying an ICS RUU executable linked elsewhere in this forum and I keep getting "Error 155". Will anything Sense-like work, or does it have to be stock?
Any sense-based rom will work...and you're exactly right: grab the zip and flash through twrp. Make sure to do a nandroid of your current rom first so you can restore after you're done.

Are you back on CM10 again withOUT network issues now? I loved CM10 but had the same issue and jumped on another ROM. Might wanna go back.
Hey guys! So I moonshined and got S-OFF on my phone. I first backed up my factory ROM after I wiped all the data so I would have it to go back to in the future if needed, this was done through clockwork mod. So I first tried using the NOS M7 ROM, didn't like that as the home screen seemed too Window's 8 phone like to me. I then tried the CyanogenMod 10.1, I noticed that my phone was only getting 3G data at this point. I was using my wife's new Galaxy S4 that was getting 4G as a comparison to mine. We were traveling through town so it's not a tower based issue, as her phone showed 4G.
I then tried to switch to viperDNA1.3.1 and I had all sort of issues with it. Heck this morning it would not even show me my alarm notification when it was going off to shut the phone up. I had to power it off to silence it. It even stopped showing the notification bar on the top of the screen and I couldn't even do the drag down thing to see notifications and settings.
So today at work I downloaded RageDNA to see if an optimized stock app would work for me, no change..... I even formatted my sdcard to blank it and the did an adb push to transfer the ROM.zip back to my phone.
SO.... between each app I would launch into ClockWorkMod and 1. wipe dalvik cache. 2. format system. 3. wipe data/factory reset. 4. choose the zip from the sdcard (haha like we really have a true sdcard) and wait for the install and then launch into the phone and do the basic setup to get the ROM working.
HELP!!!! (me crying) I am afraid I did something to my phone during the flashing that jacked up the radio causing 4G to be broken. Is there something else you need to know from me to help me out, please let me know!
**********UPDATE**********
I double checked all my phones settings with a coworker who also has a DNA, but still S-ON. Everything is setup the same for settings on the APN's. I even recreated a duplicate APN that used the specified "LTE" network instead of the one that was defaulted on both of ours "unspecified". No change, even rebooted.
I also restored my CWM backup I did before making any changes to my phone via switching ROM's. The only difference is the fact that their network typeshows "LTE" where my shows "eHRPD". I am going to look into seeing how to reflash the radio to see if something got corrupt.
If it comes down to it I am going to reset my phone back to S-ON and reflash everything that I can find that I can do.
*********Resolution*********
After reflashing my radio, I did not get any 4G signal any more, I know Verizon towers were down for 4G near my work so not sure if they moved over to the towers by my home as I only live 10 minutes from work. So only after being at work for about an hour my 4G signal started on it's own without anything done by me today.
So as I was on the path to trying to take it back to stock I followed the guide that Phaded posted for getting back to S-ON http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293919. I had a few issues with that, as it turns out my phone was not showing anything about being "LOCKED" after running his first set of commands. So I pressed forward after talking with Phaded on this situation. I had even flashed from my CWM recovery back to the stock recovery (also notice when running the RUU that it flashes the recovery.) I ran the RUU and then got the 158 error then had to flash the HBOOT. After that flash the phone showed "***Tampered*** & ***LOCKED***". I then proceeded to run the RUU and it completed at that point with no issues. Then the last few DOS commands for fastboot and back to Locked and S-On. I updated back from 1.15 up through 2.06. Also doing so that made me realize you have to step from 1.15 to 2.04 and finally 2.06. So far the 4G is still working. I will keep it stock for a few days to ensure no further 4G issues then I will be moonshining again!!
Just a guess, you may have to flash the boot image. If so the directions are in the install directions for Viper

I just tried to restore my CWM files from prior to any ROM changes. So far I have 3G data, but I tend to get 3G more so at my house than 4G, so not sure if anything will change.
I am wondering if the SIM card could have anything to do with this issue as well.... could a ROM have written to the card and caused it to not read the 4G data, or whatever is on there.
I also see that my phone's network seems to be "eHRPD" not sure if this had anything to do with it or not.
I double checked all my phones settings with a coworker who also has a DNA, but still S-ON. Everything is setup the same for settings on the APN's. I even recreated a duplicate APN that used the specified "LTE" network instead of the one that was defaulted on both of ours "unspecified". No change, even rebooted.
I also restored my CWM backup I did before making any changes to my phone via switching ROM's. The only difference is the fact that their network typeshows "LTE" where my shows "eHRPD". I am going to look into seeing how to reflash the radio to see if something got corrupt.
If it comes down to it I am going to reset my phone back to S-ON and reflash everything that I can find that I can do.
U need a new SIM card. 99% sure that's ur problem. They r free from any Verizon store. Give it a shot before u go thru the hassle of going back to s on and stock.

if you download from the play store this app (its free) https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEwOSwibmV0LmFuZGlyYy5sdGVvbmZvZmYiXQ.. open it and scroll down what does it say under set preferred network type? that screen has more crucial settings then the normal one. if you running viper in viper tweaks its the first option under misc. If you need help ill put up a pick when i get back. someones borrowing mine cause they stepped on their phone lol.
EDIT: also if you are running viper 1.3.1 you should download ind flash after the normal rom the ota update(the one that says 1.3.1 to 1.3.3.

Too funny that you pointed me to that app, I just found another one LTE Settings.
So I tried your app also and they had the exact same data listed. So here's the screen shots I took from my app I pointed to. My phone will connect to 4G only and only if I choose "LTE only" if I move it to something else either by changing it through the OS settings, or changing it through this app, it goes back to getting 3G service. So at least this tells me my phone isn't broken, just some setting is F***ed up somewhere.
I have tried Global and CDMA/LTE settings with it always showing 3G.
yup that's freaking weird lol swing by a VZW store and get a free sim card since yours seems like it might be messed up what happnes if you flash something like crpalmers kernel though? your boot image might just be all screwed up. his latest version is June 24th.

Yeah weird! I just used the DNA Toolkit v1.0.5, I flashed the 2.06 radio and after it rebooted and what not, I went outside (as I have bad service inside this house) and now 4G won't even connect. Not sure if it's the towers, as the one by work went out around noon today.
So as it's a kernal and not a ROM how do I do that, just the same install from zip file in CWM? Do I need any certain ROM for it? As right now I have the factory one that I backed up with CWM when I did S-OFF. (it was a blank fresh factory reset)

if your using viper it supports only 2.04 as a base for its radios i believe. like I said try flashing crpalmer's one this one http://d-h.st/hu7
OH also yeah your towers by you could be experiencing maintenance try driving to somewhere else id say at least a mile away.

I flashed palmer's and no change. I just texted a coworker who lives about .25 miles away to see if he's getting 4G.
Again right now I'm on the factory ROM.

does the factory restore work like your cwm one i mean?
Click on Mobile Data in your settings, and make your 'preferred' network LTE/CDMA.
I had the very same error with the stock phone, and once I switched it - I started getting 4G almost everywhere.

That doesn't work, I have tried that like 30 times with no change.

I'll try the factory restore in the ROM and see what it does. (haven't setup the rom due to the lack of 4g)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17145857&postcount=2 found this and it seems like your towers might be experiencing something if they dropped from pure lte to this. like some equipment has failed and it has dropped to a lower communication lvl hardware wise. EDIT: when i meant factory i meant in cwm going to restore and restoring your whole backup(snapshot) of the factory rom that you made not in the rom itself.

I don't think you would notice the change instantly. You will see in a few hours, especially if you go somewhere, you will be getting 4G - or if you restart the phone.
Further, what you can do is flash the radio.
Here's the file you need to flash: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9yd_oFytDSzUjRpLTZhSFEwWnc/edit
That is a Verizon radio, and it works also with other providers.
Use fastboot to flash:
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
Original thread of the radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236633
PS: This is the original verizon radio.

When I was at work, I compared a coworkers DNA and he was getting actual LTE signal. So don't think it's that with the eHRDP thing that I keep seeing. But yeah it looks like a "cheaters way" to get their CDMA hardware to work with LTE. lol
Sorry, I feel like a tard and not really following what you are talking about with the "factory" thing. If you mean in the hboot the factory restore, it takes you to the CWM recovery to do that factory restore. Plus the ROM restore seems to almost go through CWM as well, but does it automatically. I'm going to do a full wipe and set this thing back to factory settings. As when it's broke and not working, best thing to do is start fresh.

okay if you do it from hboot it wont do anything cause now cwm will stop that from running but that is the same as running factory reset in cwm, thats not what im talking about though when you first moonshined then booted cwm after getting it, did you run a backup of your factory(stock) ROM? if so it would be in sdcard/clockworkmod/backups it also would have been about 1.5-2GB's. you could also try the radio.img amer is taking about as well, that you need to flash with adb though in fastboot as he stated.

After I noticed my 4G issue, I restore my CWM backup. Yes the CWM backup is what I restored and I am running from right now. It's size is 1.39GB in size.
I will do the radio flash right now.
