Network and IMEI problem.... - Motorola Photon 4G

Hi all,
Currently I have 2.3.5 in my photon and now I've installed custom CM9 ROM....after installing that the phone works fine and the performance also good but the actual problem I faced is it showing error in mobile networks and IMEI number and any other system related info is displayed as "unknown". And I've tried *#*#4636#*#* to update gsm.... but that also showing "unknown" .i don't know what to do.... I tried CM10 also but the same result.....and also I tried older version 2.3.4 ..in that also same problem...some body please help me out of this problem....pls

why dont you try miui rom based on jokersax cm9 the aroma edition also has options to choose the network also,
i had tried that rom but that also has issues related to data i gets disconnected after a while.
do a clean install wipe system data cache and then factory reset and then wipe dalvik cache and then try installing this rom

Tried that also its also having the same exact problem.... other than 2.3.5 os all others having same issue...there's is a solution for this but I don't know that...

couple of questions and an issue....
when installing the deodexed stock say writing 1.3 kernel,is it the 1.3 kernel or stock? just the roko install script?
the file size is so small was wondering if it has webtop? or if since i installed lokis webtop it will have webtop once i install it?
the issue im having is no data service tried several of the usual methods to get it working but cant seem to get it to grab a signal. the weird thing is in seetings menu says i am connected to sprint but i have no 3g icon and no web page or data service loads.. idk if is just on my end or what but wanted to bring it to light in hopes maybe you knew a way to get it working..... btw
thanks for this once i can get it fully working will use it as a base for my roms from now on was looking for a completely stock deodexed rom for my base hoping i found it... i know there is a thread with the system and framework from stock deodexed but couldnt get it to boot so... as for me happy to see this up
Yeah data still not working downloaded it again last night tried flash this morning flashes and boots just no data
I didnt have data issues last night can somebody else that had tried it confirm
As far as script its the stock 1.0 kernel

I tried the unlocked deodex first and data plus wifi were not working. I didn't look at data much. Wifi said obtaining ip address, but never connected.
The odex version works. I rooted it with the photon-torpedo, and worked fine. I'm restoring my data with titanium backup as we speak.

[Q] Help! MIUI Install

My Photon is rooted, unlocked, CWM 5.0.2.8, Running CM 7 NIGHTLY 7/22. I wanted to switch to MIUI 2.7.27 Official Port for the Photon. Downloaded the Zip and GAPPS for the ROM, Nandroid Backup, Cleared Data/Factory Reset, Formated /Data, /System, /Cache, Cleared Delvik Cache and The Flashed The MIUI zip TWICE... went REALLY fast only showed MIUI Logo froze and then said rom completed. Flashed The Gapps and Rebooted... it stayed on the Motorola logo with Unlocked on the top for a whole day... i really want to switch to the MIUI Rom.... what am i doing wrong?
miui uses an installer that requires a rom to be installed on the phone. you wiped the system. don't wipe anything before installing. you can do that in the installer.
there are three files to flash. base, options then themes. it's a great rom. you'll enjoy it.

Bump... Anyone?
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
The zip on miui.us is only the ROM. You should be able to flash it but you have the wrong version of cwm. You need to have either jokers recovery v3, twrp, or cwm 5.0.2.7. 5.0.2.8 is from ROMmanager and doesn't work for any ics roms

Why don't you flash a rom that you can flash from CWM and then flash MIUI?
You could reinstall CM7 or AOKP.
Once installed run the MIUI installer (without wiping anything before starting the installer), and then install Gapps. You should then be good to go.
Also, I think you should spend some more time reading about what you're doing. It seems that you may be on the edge of not knowing what you're doing. I'd suggest (at a minimum) the first 3 posts in the MIUI thread should be understood in detail before doing this again.
In the stated version of cwm or do I need the old one

I'm not sure. I run AOKP. I think if you've got jokers revision 3 of CWM that you're fine.
I'm on 5.0.2.7-photon3. I think you're one release newer, but make sure it's joker's version and you should be alright.
Check out qbking77 on YouTube. He has install vids for most of our roms.

From your wording it sounds as if you flashed the GSM patch & rebooted before you flashed the rom. If that's the case, you're booting into an empty partition. You have to have something on the safe side to boot into before attempting to power up into that side.

On GSM you ONLY can boot DHackers Roms with Safestrap. Regular Roms won't boot.
You have to use Boot Menu and convert the Rom.

:good: I tried HSD-Pilot's way and rom works correctly now. :good:
Do these steps:
convert nxrom by boot manager(thick all parts specially the last one)
download eclipse gsm patch and put it in SD card
go to recovery
do full wipe(data and cache)
install the rom
install the gsm patch TWICE
reboot
after long booting do first initial setup and reboot.
you will find everything works perfectly.
Will try. Just a question about Safestrap: is it ok that when wipe data and caches in safe mode, i got my unsafe os factory setted?

When you wipe data on safe system your non-safe system won't get touched. So when you toggle back to non safe, all your apps and settings will still be there.

You where asking about safestrap (Safe & Non-safe)
But i guess you used BM and didn't format the Webtop partition. If you did it, then you have to many Apps installed, because the Webtop only got around 1,5gb Space. If you need more then you have to use your Main System for the BionX Rom.

WiFi broken and can't read SIM after flashing virtuous rom?

To add into relations to my other post the reason I had to restir is cause the Virtuous Rom booted and WiFi woild not toggle on and keeps saying insert SIM.
??
I was only trying to install a good stable gsm Rom that would initially work well with apn settings seeing as I use the droid DNA UNLOCKED on T-Mobile.
I can't figure a way to keep the apn settings set after a reboot they default
So I read flashing a global gsm Rom will auto save the apns and theyll stick.
Any insight? Any good Roms that will do this for T-Mobile
And any reason or known reason on the re insert SIM issue after flashing a Rom
this is a noted problem from what I've read ,but with no Straight forward reason or solution.

When you unzip the file there should be a boot.img file you will need to flash in fastboot. the command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then once you do that, boot into recovery and reflash the rom. Wifi should work.
According to both Verizon and HTC, there was a known issue with the phone software and not being able to read the SIM card. It happened to mine about ten times every week until an update was released to supposedly fix it in February. I still get the error from time to time, but far less than I did previously. If you've rooted and flashed a ROM prior to February, I would suggest making a backup and restoring the phone back to stock. Once you've done this, do the update to the new firmware and then reroot and restore from your backup. This should, I think, fix most SIM issues.
