are you in a sprint service area? try rebooting the phone. find a good spot where you should have the signal and hope for the best! if you get a signal dial *228 to activate it.

Try this
Go to dialer and type *#*#4636#*#*
Go to phone settings and try different settings aside from cdma auto (eg cdma only or evdo only) and then reboot it in that setting
Once rebooted switch back to cdma auto and see if your fixed.
If that doesn't work you can manually change prl
So mess around in these setting and a solution should be there.

no phone number... interesting.. maybe it needs to be factory restored with an SBF. it's obviously not programmed though. what did you do to it? before trying to activate it? was it purchased this way?

No i had it for awhile at first it said failed to boot 4 and so i fixed it with this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798145
And thats how i was abke to fix it i flashed all the stuff it asked to and now it says no service but better than being brick is there anything i can flash to be able to get it to work on sprint towers

Im on 2.3.5 and so i know my options are limited but i am rooted

Uhhh, if you know the esn number from some other form: tools like cdma workshop cam help you restore it. The only thing is not even stores have this software so you will just have to search around for esn editor. WARNING tools like this can be seen as illegal because tools like this can be used to duplicate phone identities.

please list everything you have done step by step.
seems you might not have the proper modules.

I flashed the electrify spf file then flashed the photon stock rom from the description and then flashed that file in the description with bootstrap and then flashed the spf (also in the description) then flashed that last file woth bootstrap all the files i got were in the description
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app

Wats esn #? And msl #??
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app

Just to be clear as this can be a little tricky
1 flash full electrify sbf via rsd
2 flash 2.3.5_254_13 sv2 boot, recovery and cdrom image sbf via rsd from here
3 root
4 install bootstrap recovery
5 install stock locked rom 254_12 or higher via bootstrap
if you are still getting no service try step 6
6 install photon radio via bootstrap
if these steps are follow all should be well
is your wifi functioning?

Ok do u know were i can get all thiae files and yes im currently using wifi to be able to use my phone
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app

Oh and tge phone not recognizing the serial number im guessing
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app

OK well if your WiFi is working sounds like your modules are installed correctly my guess is you need to install the proper radio.

Ok so i was trying to get the msl # and i got this ??? Nothing so it seem like the phone is completly wiped no serial number no imei number nothing is there something i have to flash to get all of it bak ? And wat radi do i need to flash

Problem. Is when I make or receive phone calls I get no audio what so ever....only fix I have found is rebooting the phone
I have read a little round here. Sounds like im not the only one....I also have another photon as well. From a different store...my girl and I both have one.....hers does the same thing
Sprint told me this was a known issue and the problem is with Motorola software and are waiting for a update
I read somewhere bout a oem software upgrade that u could manually dl and install ...and further read that they already started implementing in a OTA ....my phone says its up to date...am I tight. Do I have the newest software? ??
If I do I have the newest software ....well the problem still happens....a few times a day....super frustrating

Photon reprogram code?

Is there a reprogram code the update profile is acting up......
Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App
the only "reprogram code" I know of is to send it back to sprint. I have the same problem daily. just look at my other post. but obviously I got one of the bad patch of phones when they first came out. Even though I just got it last month........so yea either a replacement or just get another phone.
Try a hard reset. That seemed to work for me.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Can you modify code in the build.prop? I was getting update popups to install the latest ota because I am running alien ROM. I changed the build in text editor and I don't get the update anymore.

Sprint to Verizon flash

I recently flashed my EVO 3d from Sprint to Verizon. While rooting the phone I forgot to backup my nanodroid. I installed a ROM that at the time I didn't know it didn't work with s-on. I thought I soft bricked it. I paniced and I installed the latest RUU. Doing that took my Verizon off the phone and I had to get it reflashed. My question is if I change Roms which I tend to do every two weeks will that take my Verizon flash off my phone.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
You changed the ESN of your verizon phone to your Evo3d? That what your saying?
When you flash the new rom no you won't loose the carrier flash you will only lose the mms and web setting only if you change the prl u will lose the carrier flash

You can absolutely change roms, you just have to go and edit the mms and 3g settings after.
How do you do that?

However you changed it in the first place to get it to work on Verizon.
So the answer is no I can't change Roms. Im trying to avoid having to do the Verizon thing again because they gonna charge me .

Again, you can ABSOLUTELY change roms, you just have to redo your 3g and mms settings after. It should literally take you about 1 minute. Just write down the settings you have now.

Charge you for what? If you're already flashed to Verizon, then you are paying verizon, correct?
I didn't do the 3g and mms settings. Where and how do I adjust them?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Okay you can change roms but regardless if your switching from sprint to verizon your gonna have to change the mms and Web setting because each carrier had specified Inet and picture setting there's no wary to avoid this unless you look for an APN file for each carrier and just enable it when you switch roms or carriers
But there is no way you won't have to change the setting when you flash to a new carrier every 2 weeks just google APN setting Verizon or sprint using the model type of phone and then use APN back up and restore to modify mms and Web but do it research first or else u will end up with neither of the 2 good luck

I did that once and had to sbf back to stock 198_7. I am not sure since you are on 2.3.5. Have you tried a factory restore from the bootloader menu?

(Request) Radio Hard Reset dna specific

Is it possible that somebody who knows about epst.apk give us a hand with a tutorial for radio hard reset and prl update dna specific. It seems tutorials for Evo and other htc devices do not work with dna.
There is a lot of returned phones to vzw just because issues related to radio and it seems just a prl update would fix them.

What benefit is to be gained by a PRL update? I thought that concept went away when LTE came along.
