Howdy. I updated my phone recently to Virus's release of that latest OTA of ICS. I also ran his modified firmware updates, which updated my hboot to 1.58 . Everything ran fine. Wiped the phone and did a restore of my old CM9 backup. Bootlooped. Wiped and installed Virus's OTA again now it has no signal. wiped factory/system/cache/dalvik again, installed ICS OTA and again no signal. Cant even do initial setup, all it wants is wifi. Bars have the X on it.
Bummer. Cant figure it out. Any help is appreciated. I did get that VM firmware awhile back, never had any major problems from it.
Another goofy thing thats happening is sometimes when i try to boot into recovery that PG86M file (or whatever its called) trys to load.
I keep deleting this file and it comes back. Really annoying.
Any help is appreciated, phone is on the ground crying.,.

Have you tried updating your PRL/Profile?
That might help. If not, it could be your VM firmware acting up.

I tried to update PRL and it just checks for update for 5 min; and says connection could not be made. Getting absolutely no signal. VM firmware didn't mess up much for me after initial flash monthes ago. But I certainly suspect something now..
Thanks for the suggestion. Any other ideas why someone night be getting no signal
Phone is crippled. Don't lookforward to giving it to sprint with this VM banner on my phone. Lol. Crap...

Really not could have done it. Tried new radios, tried booting with the latest firmware again.. no success
im taking suggestion on anything that could help here.
UPDATE
Through Fastboot feature I loaded the 2.08 RUU. STILL NO SIGNAL WTF?
Yesterday i ran 2.17 RUU to take the OTA and i had to Flash my phone again to another carrier on Mexico. MDN, MSID, PRL, and all that info was erased to 0's and i had to use CDMA Workshop to get SPC again(yes, it changed too) and after that to program my phone with QPST again to get signal.

I'm right here with you on this issue. I've tried just about everything to get signal back but its a no go. Happened as soon as I flashed the firmware with hboot included that virus posted. Everything went fine except when it booted back up I had no signal (disconnected because service is unavailable). No roms that i flash will change this. I even ran an old ruu and updated all the way to ics from stock and no dice. Reflashed hboot 1.4 with revolutionary so i could restore my venomrom nandroid, but still the same. Frustrated. Do I need to use qpst or cdma workshop to try to do something? I'm not real familiar with either of those, but feel like I'm out of options now...

Wow, interesting that your getting it too. Did you ever flash that VM Firmware? This is worse than a brick LOL. im jumping on peoples wifi when i can to even try to use my phone. PM if you find a solution else where. Im about to put a bounty on a fix, if this doesnt get resolved.
I dont even know what CDMA workshop or QPST is, but im willing try anything.
Yes, unfortunately i flashed that firmware but thought id correctly done some method of getting it back to normal. I dont have the banner and im on the 1.53_vin pri. Just seems that mynetwork is all cleared out. Ive tried to reset my espt using ##786# but it fails due to the radio not responding.
Im still looking and will keep u updated.

Hey thanks for the suggestion. I tried going through the steps to force hands free activation, but MSL Reader gave me 000000. LOL this phone is fudged up. I welcome any other suggestion, or perhaps MSL Reader showing 000000 means something?
Also ive heard of people flashing new PRL's anyone know where i would find those?
Same here, msl is reset to 000000. It seems that doing a ##786# reset would fix it and return everything the way it was, but it always errors out. No phone all wknd has been frustrating. Guess I need to return to stock and s-on so I can take it in. Of course, when the te h looks and sees my 1.53vin pro I'm pretty sure he'll know I messed things up myself. Gonna play dumb and say this is just was happened after the its to ics. Ugh.

Ugh, bad luck brother. Still no remedy my way though I've talked to virus and unknownforce. I'm still holding my breath that the official ruu will solve this, though lord knows when that will surface. Will update if I make any progress...
man that sucks..thanks for replying man..i hope i can get it fixed..ill keep checking this thread
Y'all should try flashing the 2.17 RUU make sure have a shipped Hboot and turn s-on through adb in that order or you will brick it. This is a last resort because you will lose root until you do junoputbear wire trick or Hboot downgrade but if you don't have a phone to use you have nothing to lose...
Edit: try unknownforce VMware removal tool in sticky..if you flashed the VM Virus...

Thanks for the advice. I actually have flashed every RUU known to man I think lol. I went way back and flashed and did all the updates until I was on ICS again, and still no luck. Problem with the VM removal tool is that you need to have your MSL and this issue resets the device MSL to 000000.

Also, I tried manually updating the PRL through ##775# with the .prl file on my root, but it didn't take. It locates the file and then tries but throws a no radio signal error or something and doesn't change anything.

Hello, and sorry for filling up the forums here in the Q&A. I really need some help, It is quite urgent. I am losing work, and all this stuff. I am running Amon Ra, and CleanROM 4.1
My phones keeps rebooting, randomly. Even if I remove the back cover, sim card, and SD card. I can't touch the dialer, If I do. BOOM, reboot. I will get 2 minutes to mess around, them reboot. Sometimes 2 seconds. This is very annoying. Should I flash a different Rom? GO back to complete stock? Flash this? Flash that? I need a professional answer here guys :/
Is this the first Rom you flashed? Did the problem present immediately? The more details the more we can narrow down your problem.
I have flashed countless amount of roms, this starting happening when I flashed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1556183 Ever since, everytime I power up my phone, I get like 30 seconds of usage then bam, reboot. I tried different roms and everything, It could be a problem, I've also tried Rez Rom, Or just ICS. I have tried a battery from my T bolt and got farther, but still got rebooted on. My SD card, both external and internal are wiped, everything, I mean everything I have wiped individually in amon ra recovery. Could it be my SIM Card? It says SIM CARD IS NOT AVAILABLE, After 10 seconds I get a weak signal, then when I go to dialer, it reboots.
Did the SIM card go bad? The rom could be the culprit, but how? I have flashed 3 different roms since. (Senseless clean rom 4.0, Clean Rom 4.1, Rez Rom 3.2) What could have changed? I haven't used my phone in 6 hours or so. Should I go into verizon to get a new SIM? Should I fear that they wont service me due to my unlocked rezound? I have tried everything. My next step is to flash an old rom, to see what happens.

Holy hell, it's crazy in here tonight. There are three people with a similar issue running around right now.
You did install the new RUU right before installing this ROM? If not, your solution is right here.
If so, do it again.
If you've done it again already, give some more details as to when it started and what you did right before.

Ha, never mind. You just have two threads on the same topic. Bad form, sir! No flaming from me, but that sort of thing gets some folks around here PISSED.
I am very sorry. How do I check the RUU Version? I don't remember flashing one before flashing that ROM. I don't really know, but does the PRL have something to do with this? I think I have accidentally messed with that by NOT being on that new RUU leak before I flashed the rom, so with that being said, the other new roms, I have to be on that new RUU ( 3.11.605.22 ) to have the rom stable, and not rebooting? Correct? Thank you for your guys help!

No prob here. Just warning you! Some of the old hands around here get tired of us noobs (I was a green horn not too long ago myself).
Boot into your bootloader, the newest HBOOT should be listed as 2.21.0000 and the date is Mar 11, 2012. If those are off, check out that link I posted. If you don't remember doing it (it's a PITA) you probably didn't do it.
No matter what though, if you can't get the phone to stop rebooting on you, you should RUU back to stock before trying anything.
When you unlock, make sure you flash the newest version of Amon Ra, because 3.14 has some issues with the new firmware.
Go slow and it'll be fine. For the record, in the instruction I sent he mentions that it may hang on the HTC screen for a couple minutes the first reboot.... it hung for almost 20 min when I did it. So don't get impatient!
Good luck.
Not trying to scold anyone here but next time read ALL the threads about it before trying to update to an RUU and 99% of these problems will just go away

No doubt, dude. Personally, I study my ass off before I do something that could kill my $500+ pocket computer. But I don't mind helping out those who skip the important parts.... some days anyway!
Running the new RUU is a nerve wracking ordeal, no doubt! You have to be patient and run everything twice. Patience is the name of the game!

bad logic to go by, some things brick if you run twice, AKA Froyo radio on the Inc
Hey guys! Just updated to the new version of Amon Ra. I am currently waiting for the new RUU to download. In the meantime, can someone give me a link or tut on how to update HBOOT? I'm currently on 2.11.0000 OCT 6, 2011 and cannot seem to find the new version. Thank you so much for putting up with me guys, means a lot! Sorry for the people I offended with my lack of knowledge! Forums are new to me, looks like I got some brushing up to do!

Umm, if you check, the new leaked firmware usually needs to run twice. Once for the bootloader and once for basically everything else. If you are running things twice and getting bricks, you are doing something wrong.

When you run the RUU, it will update your hboot to 2.21 in the process.
Ok, I'll keep you guys updated! I'll give it a go!

Just want to make sure you have the process down before.you start...
Once the RUU is downloaded, you will lock the boot loader, put the renamed ruu on your SD, run the RUU from the boot loader (don't try to flash it like a rom). You will then have to unlock and reflash that new among ra.
Then rock out. Just follow that step.by step closely for the RUU. Its kind of a weird process.

Ok, so go back to HTC Dev.com and just re-lock? Or is there a tool I should use.
Besides that, I got a great feeling this is going to work!
Blah, it seems I have ran into a problem. The file for the new RUU I downloaded was corrupt. Anybody got a download link to the 3.11.605.22? Thanks.

Nope! Got my phone working as new! Updated and everything!
YOU GUYS ROCK, THANK YOU.
I had the exact same problem with my phone two days ago. You have to upgrade to the stock ICS first to update the RUU and junk, then re-flash Amon Ra, then install Cleanrom 4.0 or the dev version.
So I hate to be the frantic guy screaming for help cuz im normally pretty savvy at all this types of stuffs. But........
ZOMG [email protected]#[email protected]@[email protected][email protected]%!!
Im stuck pretty hardcore here. Allow me to give you the run down:
Was on Clean Rom Dev Edition. the newest version. ICS and the lot. But I wanted to try something different. Devil toast. When I tried to install the CM9 rom I got bootloops. I did some reading and found out this could be because I was S-on with hboot 1.50. So I found the JBEAR method for achieving s-off. It said I had to go back to stock so i tried to install a stock rom. didnt work. bootloops non stop. I tried a few different versions. odex, deodex blah blah blah. non of them worked. i only got bootloops. So I decided I would try and reinstall the Clean rom. That worked. I was able to reinstall it. I still wanted to try and get back to stock so I Got the RUU EXE and gave that a try. I only got errors and was unsuccessful at the RUU. So i figured what the heck I will try and do this with the rom i am already on. (since it says that it can work with some custum roms) gave it a try and got the still sober error a few times. I have tried about 5-6 times now with no luck. the phone wont boot into the rom. only the bootloader/fastboot. when i try to load CWM it wont mount my sd card so i can try installing a rom. if i try and power on the phone normally it just goes to a black screen with the word "juopunutbear" hanging above a phone. What should my next step be XDA friends? what can I do to get myself out of this situation. and wind up with soff and some devil toast!?

Boot your phone into fastboot. Plug it into the computer. Open up your command prompt and change your directory to whatever folder you created when you unlocked your bootloader. Then type fastboot oem lock. After doing this, you should be able to install your stock ROM either form your phone or via RUU on the computer. Let me know if you have any problems.
So heres the Update:
I finally got the phone jbeared. and installed jbear hboot. flashed devil toast and got no service or wifi. everytime i tried to connect to wifi the phone would reboot. did as mush reading and digging as i could to find out if anyone had the same prob. couldnt find anything. and wanted to go to bed for the night. so i just flashed back to clean rom dev edition because i had no problems with it before. but now I cant send or recive text messages. my data works fine. but no SMS at all. i get sms errors everytime i try to send one. i used one of my friends phones to send myself a text and i didnt receive it. what do you think the issue is?

Try reflashing the radio (PG86IMG.zip). Put it on your SD card, and boot into bootloader and follow instructions.
I never quite understood what radio I should use. How do I go about finding that out?
again sorry for being a noob.
So I tried reflashing the radio. No luck. Im still getting errors. "radio interface resource shortage" when I press details it says "cause code: 64, error class: 2" recommendations from here? I have tried updating PRL. nothing has worked so far.

If you are on sprint and on a sense Rom , dial ##3282# click edit mode, enter your msl number (if you don't know what is your msl number, download msl reader from play store or anywhere and install it on your phone, it requires root access) then data profile then hit menu button and click restore . Your phone should reboot and it should do the hands free activation......
And for the issues you are facing , are you wiping every partition (except sdcard) before flashing a new Rom? and before doing s-off were you flashing boot.IMG manually from fastboot after flashing ROMs?

Installing MSL now. to try that. I will update you once i have done it.
And yes. I wipe everything from the mounts and storage section except the sd card. as well as dalvic cache, and cache partition. in CWM befor flashing a new rom. and the way I have been flashing roms is from this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17660133&postcount=1877

try changing active profile from 0 to 1 in data profile to get data working again....
if data starts working , try updating prl and update profile too.
Is there a way to IM you?
Also, none of that worked. data is still gone. no activation. I just tried reflashing the rom. didnt work.

try making a call and you will be redirected to sprint for activation. if that doesn't work, try restoring data profile once again and then make a call
no luck. "error #16 switch 531" is what it says after ringing once. then hangs up. doesnt redirect me. tried up the same thing multipule times. no luck.
can you contact sprint from another phone? tell them about your activation issue.....don't tell them you s-offed your device .
Yea. I will call them tomorrow when I get off of work. Any advice on that I should say to them. like what caused the malfunction, ect...?
check if this helps support.sprint.com/support/article/...e-wh164052-20110615-165318?&INTNAV=SU:DP:HDIB
So, here it is. I flashed the OTA RUU shortly after it came out, and restored my nandroid backup of viperrez 1.0.3
Since then, I can't receive any texts or many phone calls. My phone says I still have my signal intact (cdma/lte). First time i heard that, it was from my sister. I thought it was her phone, since her droid 3 sucks. Since then, my mum and 2 of my friends have said the same thing. Do I need to re-do the RUU before I reflash the rom? Or is this something that I can fix without reflashing anything? Any and all help is greatly appreciated

I would suggest re running the ruu then flash the ROM. Its best not to restore a nandroid from a previous firmware as that can cause problems. I hope you can get this fixed

Yeah restoring a nandroid from older firmware causes issues.
There is a patch to undo the changes of the old firmware patch, but I would personally just start fresh.
Sent from my NeoMax Rezound
I noticed late last night that my rezound downloaded a system update. I was half asleep and wasnt sure how to stop it, so I ignored it assuming it woulnt work anyway since I was rooted. I woke up this morning, send 2 texts and boom my phone restarted. It started trying to install the update. It looked like it said there was an error but I couldnt read it before the phone rebooted again. Now I am stuck on the white HTC screen. Ive been reading around all morning trying to fix this, all I can find is that apparently I was supposed to relock the boot loader after I rooted? Which I dont think I did. Can someone please help me get my phone working again?
Are you S-Off?
And were you running a custom ROM of any kind?

Im not sure what S-Off is? I rooted, but only really use it for my screen shot app and wifi hotspot. No custom ROMs
Most likely no.
When I go into H Boot, I noticed that it says PH98Diag is missing, no image. Is it possible that the verizon update just deleted those files and all i need to do is put them back onto my phone and it will be usable again? If thats a possiblilty, where can I grab these files from and what folder do they need to be put into?
ALso I just realized HBoot says S-On
RA- Vigor- v3.13 is what I have also.
EDIT:
I was thinking about it, and since Hboot was saying it was missing the image, I thought maybe installing a rom would fix that. I grabbed Scotts clean ROM and went threw the install on it. After doing this the phone now starts up, and everything seems normal EXCEPT: There is no connection, calling or data. How can I fix this? Im so close to having a usable phone again, just hopefully this last little bump in the road.... I double checked with Verizon and its nothing on their side that is keeping me from service....
If you can get into hboot you can run/flash the RUU and get yourself back in action. It will put you back to stock. You might have to relock your phone if it is still unlocked.
Hello. I have a photon that was rooted and unlocked and all that. The thing is it somehow got the newest Motorola update. The question i have is can i reroot it. I would love to be able to run a different OS than just the stock one. Can someone help me here or do i have a nice paperweight
yes you can re-root it using the torpedo method. but unfortunately no unlocking at this time

What he means is, you need to be unlocked to install a custom rom with custom kernel and you can no longer unlock. You have two rom options while still locked, but both are based off the blur you already have. You can still root, though.
from what I understand you can use boostrap recovery to install ROMs. i've yet to try it myself but others have used it

Only roms without a custom kernel assuming you are still locked while using it.

Yes I'm referring to your bootloader. The gsm lock you are referring to only exists in the united states.
thanks for the info guys, well i did get the phone rooted and super user restored, see the thing is the phone was flashed and programmed for page plus, its still running on page plus service but i had 2 problems one being the nag screen to activate the phone for sprint and its constantly in roaming, i called page plus and they say yeah that will happen and no i wont be charged for it, i would be all happy if i could get the roaming off, i did however get rid of the sprint activation by deleting a apk called SprintOMADM,apk. now im not totally sure i need that apk or not but its gone now and i have no nag screen to activate it, it still makes calls just fine but im not sure im totally getting all my incoming phone calls or any notifications for voice mail, any sugestions on how i might be able to get rid of some of this stuff, like i said it was flashed rooted and unlocked before, i did use when i first had it that remote squad software but now it says it cant even read the phone, i was also told by them its probably that awsome new update 2.35. thanks alot again for your responses and ill keep popping in and out of here to see more responses
well disreguard the last post, I had some app downloaded on my phone used to flash roms... well basically what happened i restarted my phone and the app booted before the phone started and it said flash rom from zip file so i selected one that i downloaded here, and thinking it wouldnt work i selected it and hit ok, well it worked alright now the phone says Failed to boot 2, and just shows starting in RSD mode, now im screwed, I shouldnt have done that, I figured it was locked and wouldnt work now the phone is broke how can i get it back just to stock the way it was or am i totally screwed

What rom did you flash and what little application did you use to flash it with? You're probably not screwed, we just need a bit of information on what steps you took.

well when i got that awsome update 2.35 from my son clicking yes to it, i tried just about any roms to get the phone back, first it was the electrify rom which i later find out dumb mistake on my part, anyway now and i mean right now i flashed the phone with rsd lite using the electrify rom 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.5-4.5.1A_SUN_USC_19.0-19-release-keys-signed-USC-US..... from there i rooted the phone using the torpedo method, then i installed busybox and i forget which method i used but anyway it was all done in fastboot, once i got all that installed i downloaded a apk file system recovery which is MOTODX2_Bootstrap_signed.apk. plugged in the charger and booted up the system recovery or the bootstrap which ever you call it, and went into advanced and did a dalvik wipe i even hit fix permissions, i then hit go back and did a data- factory clear wipe, then went into install zip from sd card and i first used MOF.2.3.5.ish,v1.4.zip and that installed fine the problems i had was sometimes when i would do that i would get failed to boot 2 screen but i just used the unbrick zip that i downloaded here if anyone wants the name or link let me know, anyway.. once booted up with the MOF ish zip it would load fine but wouldnt save any settings or find any APNs or connect to any wireless networks in my house, but the wireless problem was clear it said error on it, so i knew the problem on that was it wasnt working derr. So this story is getting long now. anyway i then rebooted and turned on the bootstrap slash system recovery utility, and i installed first 2.3.x_libmoto_ril.so_198_7.zip and it aborted the install and failed. i then tried the next one in line which was 2.3.x_libmoto_ril.so_254_12.zip and that one installed fine so i rebooted and i got the failed to boot 2 screen and i did the unbrick sbf file on rsd lite and it booted fine, though still no saving of the settings and no wifi no cell service and no text or anything, I kept RSD lite open and i tried one more thing, 2.3.5sv2_198_7_radio.sbf and flashed it, the wifi for the house started working and i started getting bars on my cell service yay, well atleast i thought yay this is after weeks of not having a cell. well i thought all is well im done and fixed. NOPE im not fixed when i try and dial a number or even activate my phone i get nothing, no dial buzzing sounds like you get normally, no any kinds of sounds the call eventually times out and says called failed retry or cancel the call, i hit retry and i get the same thing. i even tried flashing the radio to 2.3.5sv2_254_12_radio. when i used that one it would save settings but i wouldnt get any cell signal or anything. so im back to square one. I need help. this phone is about 2 steps of getting thrown out the window. I just strated working again and i need this phone to call back customers and i cant afford a regular carrier so im on pageplus the phone was originally flashed through remote squad and worked great until i let my youngest son play a SNES emulator on it and it exited out of the program for some reason and it wanted to do the system update and he hit yes and it installed and screwed up everything. All i want now is to get the phone back to somewhat normal, I can use RSD lite, CDMA workshop, QPST, DFS 4.0.0.5 and a couple others if need be i can download anything i just need to be told what files i need and what i dont need to get the phone back to normal, cuz if i dont get this phone back to normal im just going to not get another pageplus card and throw the phone away and ill be back to not being able to work. thanks to all that has responded to the post here i really do apreciate the time you all have taken to help. sorry it took so long to get back to any of you here but i still need urgent help here badly please and thank you for your time to read this i hope i gave you all the info you needed to help me
I just write this.
Calm down, read the 2.3.5 sv2 custom sbf thread one more time and start from the beginning with unbrick steps. Everytime you do that process, you will understand it more and more and your phone will start to work again. Believe me.

Wow - just Wow. Unreadable. You are truly fortunate that someone actually read that and offered advice.
yes it was a long post, yes it was all jumbled together, anyway i did all the stuff recccommended and it works. the only problem im having now is, its still not lockig onto the right cell tower or something here where i live.
I Have tried Remote Squads Full Flash and other ways of manually programming it and for some reason I cannot get it to lock onto verizon towers, its like it has me permenantly locked onto sprint. when i drive down the road about 8 miles or so i can go down at the sheetz in my area and I get locked onto a verizon tower there but as soon as i move from that area I lose it and it goes back to sprint towers, I talked with Pageplus and they told me some stuff about what SID and NID i should have in but im not sure if the info was correct they told me they didnt know pennsylvavnia all that good but here is some numbers to try .. im about to melt this thing
Try roam control.
