I have my Evo 3D and I decided I wanted to flash a ROM on it.
Basically I rooted it and went to flash a ROM on it, and ended up deleting the dalvik cache and cache.
The bad part is, I forgot (like a complete idiot) to do a Nandroid backup.
Is there any way to come back from this?
you could just run an RUU and get back to stock.
btw what problem do you have while flashing new roms?
deleting the dalvick cache and cache dousnt matter, it automatically creates it.
If you haven´t backup up your previous rom, then you cant recover it... that´s why it´s called a backup..
So whats the problem?
I think i read it wrong. do you mean you want to restore your previous stock rom + data? if so its not possible to restore the data without a nandroid.

That works even though I can only see the bootloader screen / TWRP recovery screen.?
And my problem was that I had an error while trying to flash room. I might have done it wrong.
But I just want my phone to work. I dont need my apps or contacts etc
.
Not sure what the problem is either. If you delete the dalvik turn the phone back on and it automatically recreates it. No problems what so ever.
It sounds like you flashed or tried to flash a ROM without doing a full wipe. However I'm not sure.
Perhaps you could tell us in more detail the problem and what you would like to do and we can help ya..

I know that you are trying to help, but all I wanted to know was how to make it back to normal. But seeing as I did it incorrectly, I could really use the help.
I did not do a Nandroid backup.
What I did was try to flash the rom without wiping my phone, like you said.
Then I selected the option of clearing both cache and dalvick cache.
Then tried flashing rom again. Did not work.
I am sorry I cant recall what the error was when doing it, but I will let you know when I try again in a second (if it doesnt work this time.) [ I also found a different tutorial and would like to give it a try.
There isn't a way to get back to the same state your phone was in before wiping it since you did not do a backup. If you are gsm then find the gsm RUU. If CDMA then find the CDMA version. That will get you back to the stock version but it will be as if you just turned it on for the first time ever.
It would be easier to just download a different ROM and put it on your SD card then flash it. Although it won't be stock...
But before doing any of that just boot recovery and do a full wipe. Then reflash the ROM you were trying to install.
I got back to stock with RUU. Then I figured out how to successfully back up and flash my phone with different roms.
Thank you for all your help.
Good luck in your flashing endeavours! Its addicting.
I actually am having an issue. I am trying to flash a rom on my phone and it says im extracting boot.img with a progress bar on the bottom. The progress bar seems to be staying at one point and not moving.
He said something about naming something to PG86IMG and wasnt clear to me what to name PG86IMG.
Any speculations?
Edit: was impatient.

Are you still s-on btw? Since i saw you had problems with boot.img
Try gaining s-off, flash hboot 1.49.0007 and all of your flashing problems will be gone!

I tried the wire trick. Couldn't get it to work. Maybe because I used speaker wire which isnt a sold wire but strands. Do you think that makes a difference?
As long as there is a connection all the way through, no. Keep in mind i tried 20 times or so, you have to get the timing right.
Take another look at the demo vid and try again, if you're not sure about the wire, use a paperclip with some tape around it. (tape is important, you don't want your skin to touch the metal)

I did the wire trick about a week or two ago and I couldnt time it just right so I just continuously tapped the SD card metal holder dealio with the paperclip about every second and it worked the fourth or fifth try.

So I flashed one of those no sound AOSP roms, I instantly nandroided back to my Synergy #318. When I did it told me "System not responding" "Force Close" I figured bad nandroid. Super wipe and reflashed 318, I went through set up and then I get no 3G no Phone, here is a screeny of my about phone.
Do I reflash the radio???
EDIT...re-flashed radio and still get the same sh#t
I have a backup of my WiMax in clockwork form, flashed over to clockwork recovery, creating a backup to replace current WiMax with the one I have saved (Original).
EDIT...That broke the MD5 and would not allow a restore of WiMax
Trying a RUU now
Looks like the RUU made me a shiny new BRICK!!!
Bootloader is stuck here, its been like this for over 8 minutes.
WTF is really going on here
I followed this return to stock thread HERE
Well after 15 minutes I said F it and pulled the battery. Apparently it didnt do anything as far as the RUU goes because it booted back into my ROM. It stills says "Process System is not responding" Force Close or Wait.
I flashed synergy once and I had the Samething your showing... Everyother ROM I flashed all the info would show up. Sometimes on synergy it was just blank. So are you able to flash any roms?

Yes, it happens with all roms though. It never gives me signal, phone signal or 3G/1X signal. It says looking for service, but service never comes.
I installed aosp again, it offers better info in about phone. this is what I see, not looking good for the home team
In the aosp rom I flashed I found a update-binary, I will upload below. This is what F'ed me up! Can someone tell me how to open this, so I can correct what is wrong and re-flash? I ran aosp through rom kitchen and mustve hit convert to update-binary. Now I am F'ed!
I know you can't connect to data but Can you connect to wifi? Are you on 2.3.3 or 2.3.4? Hausx (sure I didn't spell it right) posted in CDMA the individual components..... Try flashing each one and see if that helps and maybe try going to 2.3.4 if not there. I'd stay away from hboot 1.5 or you will have to do htcs method to unlock which I'm thinking should definitely work.

I can connect to WiFi, I also tried the radio already. I also tried 2.3.4 and 2.3.3 this sucks ares!
EDIT...I found the thread, gonna try flashing them now! What about the factory reset within the rom, using dialer ##778# I think? Would that maybe help, get the hands free activation going maybe? Thing is if you look at that picture it is not even reading PRL
New radio/PRI did not help, what could keep phone from reading this info off of it? I just did a reset from within rom, that didnt help either.
OPST does not read my phone anymore either
OK, I tried RUU again and it went through! I had 2 things labeled TP and it bypassed the first one, and updated the second. I am rebooting now so we will see if I get signal back. If not at least I am at stock for warranty!
And NO GO! Same Process System is Not Responding! If I wait the phone reboots. What the hell can be happening here?
Now I did a factory reset and the phone boots, then re-boots during the set up process.
Sort of sounding like you may need to give Sprint a call and see if they can have you manually re program it over the phone or something. I'm not sure how you'd go about un-doing whatever it is that you updated that caused this. It sounds like something you'd need to mess with using EPST ## codes.
Did you just try the radio and PRI and not the full RUU? if the forced factory data reset through ## doesn't work and the radio didn't..... I'm wondering if trying to root it via htc website wouldn't fix it. Very wierd situation you have here

Tell me about it! I got a replacement coming. I tried all I could, somewhere I F'ed something up with the partitions is my guess. Something in the Update-Binary changed a location of partition, or the size. For now I got my back up Optimus S online, really missing my 3D already! lol
anyone have any DEV stuff they need a tester on that may brick, hit me up.
Okay guys, I have an HTC Evo 3D CDMA that is somewhat unusable. All I did was root the phone and in a few days the phone just wouldn't start up. It gets stuck on the HTC logo. I've tried getting it into download mode to flash a new stock firmware (but it didn't want to), I've tried to put the .zip stock firmware file onto the sd card to "install zip from sd card", I've tried to put the update file on the sd card to install it through "hboot", and even factory resetting it, but it still would get stuck on the logo and fail to boot up. I've tried just about everything I can think of, or find on the internet. Any other suggestions or solutions?

I made the mistake of flashing one of the stock roms derived from RUU which was a big mistake since it flashed the hboot I no longer have revolutionary which lead me to not being able to fastboit anything. I can get the adb to.connect to the device while in recovery with system mounted. but that's pretty much it. If i install a custom ROM when I reboot revolutionary will see device but not ling enough to.root and install the drivers. Just setup your pc to use fastboot otherwise you might do the same thing I did. After two days of searching trying different things my fix was going and buying a new phone last night.

If you relocked your phone "fastboot oem lock" and installed a stock RUU, this should have brought your phone back to stock. This wasn't the case?

When you root your phone, never accept updates unless you unroot your phone and go back to stock. Are you on hboot 1.5? I would suggest finding a rom that you want to flash (I recommend Myn's warmtwopoint3 RLS1 Deodex). To do this go into fastboot USB and load the custom recovery in the folder you downloaded to root your phone "fastboot boot recovery.img" (recovery.img should be replaced with the name of the CWM***.img file in that folder. This will give you full access to write the kernal and install the rom). Your issue is only likely kernal related so unless you do what I just mentioned, you wont have access to write a new kernal.

Does it still show hboot 1.4? According to the instructions, after the PG86IMG.zip installs, you need to go into fastboot and type "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3"
I think your probably just doing something wrong. Pull your battery out, put it back in, hold down volume button and power to boot into bootloader. Explain to me what you see. You should see fastboot on the top and you should be able to press the power button to enter fastboot and when you plug in your phone it will show fastboot usb. If this isnt happening I'm very curious as to what is.

Thanks for the help everyone!
Hi everyone. The only reason why I wrote this status was because I rooted the phone for someone, and gave it back to them in working order. Then about a week later, they came back to me with that problem and I tried to fix it. But with no success as I stated above. They threatened to sue me or take me to small claims for this problem which i didn't even start. Talk about assholes. Anyways, they gave me the option of paying them 350 which is half of what they bought the phone for, or having me try to fix it. If I do fix it, no need to pay, but if I don't then I'd have to pay the full price which is 700. So I've decided to just pay them the 350 to shut their mouth, get my ass out of trouble, and get on with my life.
So yea, I guess I won't be needing this thread anymore. I really want to try fixing it to save me money, but I don't want to risk it. And yea, I know how much of an asshole they're being. But oh well, shows what kind of people they are.
Were you paid initially for services rendered, when first "working" on the phone? Did you make mention any guarantee/warranty for "work" performed? At any time was this person/persons aware of such forum/s which clearly express "do this at your own risk"?

Just read the OP again. You only rooted the phone, didn't install a custom ROM? Also, after rooting it, the person whom you rooted the phone came to you after a week, not a day or two? In that time frame who knows what they tried to do. Also, someone mentioned a kernel issue as the most likely culprit. Are you able to get into recovery, volume down + power/recovery? Can you get to the bootloader/HBOOT screen? If you get anything other than just the bootloader screen, you may still salvage it. Any progress?

Did you check the SD card for anything that you didn't put on there? Sounds like you were scammed to me. Give me half now or try to fix it and if you can't you have to pay me full. Something doesn't sound right with that. Sounds like they didn't want to give you enough time to dig to deep into the phone. Did you check to see if it was even the same phone? Did you charge them for this service originally? What was the reason why they wanted root access?

I don't remember what I did and didn't put on there. So I can't use that as a way to back myself up. And I honestly started thinking that it is a scam, but again, it is kind of is my fault for not taking extra precautionary measures to protect myself in the event that this thing happens. Yes, I did charge for the service. And they didn't say why they wanted it rooted. And even if they are scamming me, I'm just glad it happened sooner so that I could learn from it and prepare myself for the future. As for the money, I am bummed that I have to pay them, but God knows who's the better person and what kind of people they are so I'll let God deal with them.
I have the same issue, sort of. A friend brought me his Evo 3D for me to work on.
My friend 'rooted' his Evo3D through some steps up on youtube that claims root for the 1.5 hboot with S-ON. He then later DL Rom Manager and flashed the freEVO ROM. Now its only useful for WIFI, connected media/google talk/phone dialer/contacts do not work, they all say 'Could not launch the requested activity.'. I have tried factory resetting but it resets to the same issue, cant flash any other rom since there is no actual recovery.
Any ideas on how I can make this thing work

it wont load past the HTC screen..
flashed WARM-3.5-evo3d-unofficial-r100.zip
from sdcard.
had down a factory wipe initially.. tried clearing dalvik cache again but still cannot get past htc screen. ugh
correction i flashed to r119.zip
Did you wipe system as well? How long are you giving it at the HTC Splash screen before you decide it's frozen? I haven't been keeping up to date with the Warm train lately, so I'm not sure if there have been any issues with the builds. I know back in the day, sometimes the build bot that myn used would bork a build from time to time and it wouldn't flash. Have you tried flashing any other builds, or just r119?
yes i did a complete wipe initially.. flashed.. got stuck at screen.. i left it there for 2-3 mins with no response.. just hovering at the HTC screen. I have not tried flashing any other roms as I wasnt sure what if any adverse affect this may have on the current problem

Before you go any further in trying to figure it out, I would let it sit at the HTC screen a bit longer than a couple minutes. I've had it hang there for 5 or 6 minutes on certain sense roms that I flash, especially on the first boot. Give it a solid 7 minutes or so, and if it's still hanging there..then yea it's stuck. After that, I would simply try flashing something else and see if it works. Perhaps you got a bad download as well, maybe try re downloading it.
suggestions on how to move rom to sdcard if phone isnt booting hence PC isnt seeing the drive?

Transfer it to the SD card from recovery. I'm not sure what recovery you're on, but every recovery has the feature to mount the sd card from within recovery. It's like USB MS Toggle or something to that nature. In TWRP 2, I think it's under the 'mount' tab.
Did you just try turning it on again yet, and seeing if it will eventually get past the HTC Screen? Again, it could take a bit more than 2 or 3 minutes on the first boot.
EDIT: And yea, you should be able to get back to a stock ROM no problem, or at least get back to a functioning phone, lol. Did you make a nandroid of your stock setup right after you rooted, before you tried flashing warm?
no i didnt make a nandroid backup sadly. im letting it sit for 10 mins before i give up on tyhis version
I don't think that ROM will boot as I'm pretty sure it has no boot image in it. Joelz was doing some stuff on the later builds and removed the bootimage.
Go into the thread and look for Vin's post. He is on the front page or on post 2. He has been the one updating the ROM for Joelz. the last version I knew of was around 01/12 or so?

Yeah, I read his post too fast. I didn't realize he was flashing Sense 3.5 version. Vins version is really nice and clean, he's done an excellent job helping JoelZ and keeping the ROM alive.

Transfer it to the SD card from recovery. I'm not sure what recovery you're on, but every recovery has the feature to mount the sd card from within recovery. It's like USB MS Toggle or something to that nature. In TWRP 2, I think it's under the 'mount' tab.
Did you just try turning it on again yet, and seeing if it will eventually get past the HTC Screen? Again, it could take a bit more than 2 or 3 minutes on the first boot.
EDIT: And yea, you should be able to get back to a stock ROM no problem, or at least get back to a functioning phone, lol. Did you make a nandroid of your stock setup right after you rooted, before you tried flashing warm?

What recovery are you using?
It should be Toggle USB or something like that
i used my wifes phone sdcard to bypass the problem. that flash got me to a loading phone boot now. thanks! but i'm apparently not connecting to sprint. lol. go figure..
fwiw im using twrp 1.0.3
Ok, now you may have to call them ask to have your data reset. There is a specific thing to ask for. It's in the threads on how to root the Evo 3D.
Ok, I looked around and cannot find an answer that works for me for this issue. I am wondering if it has to do with my phone having S-Off? I am most likely wrong, but i have to know whats going on. No matter what I try, I cannot get My Rezound to go from GB to ICS, ANY ICS BASED ROM for that matter. I checked MD5, Tried with battery door both removed and attached, with or without the SIM card inserted into the phone. The phone boots up almost 100%. I get a message saying "Updating Android" and it says its updating or doing something to 160 apps, the system then reboots, when it gets past the 4G screen again, It says that the boot was completed, I have no signal, i checked on the service type and its correct, tried a factory reset, and still nothing, the system just continues to boot loop over and over again, and when it boots up i cannot get past the Activation screen where it says that the phone is trying to contact Verizon to Auto Activate. I can go back to GB easily, and that works %100. Any and all information would be useful, Only reason why i think this might have to do with S-Off is because my first Rezound was S-On and worked just fine going to ICS, while this new one has S-Off and is just not cutting it.
If you have s-off the rom image could contain a radio update. That could be getting you...also data is off by default in some ICS ROMs.

so what would be recommended in this type of situation? I know its not the data being off thats causing the issue, because when i boot up i dont have a signal at all, and the lock screen instead of showing VZW banner it says No Signal. Would the Radio being an issue also cause boot loop issues?
Did you put the battery cover on the phone ?
Edit saw that u did sorry ...
Sent from my Dinc... I mean Rezound
Only thing i can think of is that the ICS rom you flashed has data off automatically, and requires you to keep pressing the home button until it passes the activation screen.
Also make sure your battery cover is on like yojoe600 said, your antenna is connected to the cover and without it you will have no signal.

this is just sooooooooo irritating. all that i have tried, this is kinda depressing. One interesting thing that i did come across though. When i flashed the BAMF GB, and tried to go from rom to rom to rom, i didnt get any MainVer error.... Dont know if thats just because S-Off allows you to go from one to another freely, or if its just not taking these updates.....
S-off has no mainvar issues. Try putting the gb radio into a PB zip or whatever the resound uses and flash that and boot to see of you get data then

hey guys, its not just data, the phone is bootlooping on him.
I know several people have s-off devices. You might try looking over on rootzwiki as well. Maybe a dev with s-off can help.
I am one of those people with an s-off and I have had no issues with it but I also updated to the ICS radio AMD have no issues so I'm not totally sure what not working with yours

Ok , so i tried this, and as i thought not much happened, more of the same. No real help at Rootz either sadly. I need to find me an S-Off Dev.... lol
On a side note, how would one go about flashing a different recovery.img on an S-Off device, do i have to adb it, or can i do it on the fly? If so, how?
Last thought...did you try the bootloop fix? ##whatever after booting without the battery covery etc...?? There' s a full thread on it.

yeah was about to give that a go, but the system seems to shut down before i get to the phone portion. I'm having to use the Emergency Call option to get to the dialer since the phone sits on the Self Activation Page.

what you mean more info, my original post was pretty clear, dont mean to be snappy or anything, i could try to give more info maybe. I've tried all the "fixes" and so far nothing works. ALL AND ANY ICS BASED ROMS are not staying stable on my phone. They get stuck in what i think is the data bootloop, but i cannot access the dial pad other than through the Emergency dial pad, i input the *#*#4636#*#* and nothing comes up, i try without the battery cover, and without the SIM card as well (Also have tried Various combinations of SIM and Battery Cover removals and inclusions). The device has S-Off, and is Unlocked with DevUnlock, and has Perm Root.
Like I stated in my initial post, the leak may contain a radio update that your phone(and the network) isn't ready for. We wouldn't get that update because our radios are locked and only a signed update from HTC would install it. I'd say back down to GB and wait it out...or post in the thread of the ROM maker and ask them about the radio.

When I say more info, I mean don't describe every symptom... tell us specifically what you did. Every ICS ROM is unique, like for example I last installed newtoroot's Senseless 4.0.3 ROM. In order to use it, I had to flash a ICS Kernel, I used the fastboot method. Then I could flash the ROM using AmonRa Recovery, and it would boot and operate effectively.
That's the kind of specifics we need, so we can follow your steps and identify possible error points, if any.

Definetly more descriptive lol thank you for the breakdown infact. In that case, last one i tried what the ICS Sense Redefined, and I tried to use the fastboot method for the Included Kernel as well, but that didnt work at all, what ICS Kernel did you flash to get it to work? a Pre-Packaged one? When installing, I did a full wipe (Both the Amon Ra Factory Reset option and the SuperWipe that is in the Dev Forum) installed the Rom, went into the Bootloader and did ADB CMD of fastboot flash boot boot.img and thats about it.

That is the one I used. If you're having issues with fastboot flashing the kernel, you may want to throw the PH98IMG.zip onto your external sd-card and boot into HBOOT then hit vol up to install it that way

ok, i'll give this a shot really quick and do through ext. sd. thanks for the link btw, you've been extremely helpful. let ya know how this goes for me.
I think i might have got to comfortable with my phone and possibly screwed something up in the process.
I recently have been Installing and Removing various ROMS on my phone so I can find one I am happy with and stick to as a DAILY.
I recently deleted from the SD Card all the folders in it besides DCIM, MUSIC, and my own Media. I figured its just an SD Card even if I removed it the phone should still operate. But I haven't touched anything Internally on the phone itself. Just always making CLEAN installs before installing ROMS under Amon Ra WIPE ALL. Which it skips my SD.
So for some reason now I have no Mobile Network on my phone it says its Disconnected. It also shows Full bars but with a TRIANGLE
over it now. I want to go back to regular data. I have a Nandroid Backup of my HTC Rezounds FACTORY ICS Build. While it help if I reverted to that? and started over with the ROM I like?
Have you tried long pressing on Mobile Network in settings and seeing if you it shows LTE/CDMA?
It does, and it is selected.
Take a look at this.
I found a way to take it off of ROAMING. In system select I switched the CDMA ROAMING MODE from Automatic B (I think it was) to Home.
I have a feeling it has something to do with a rom I installed last night. MIUI it might have change some options in the phone internal system
to thinking its not in the US. Im running stock ICS HTC at the moment from my NAN backup of Amon Ra. But at the moment its showing FULL SIGNAL BARS
& then seconds later no Signal Bars with an X over it. The verizon wireless rep told me that I was connecting to their SERVERS. I can also make calls but only under Automatic B settings in Roaming.
Im not sure what to do at this point. I wish there was someway I could reset the phone SIGNAL OR DATA OR CONNECTION SETTINGS or radio or something. o DEFAULT. I even reset back to my NANDROID Backup and WIPED all before I did that and I was still having the same problem. It doesnt make sense to me unless its a TOWER near by that is Out of order.

You always have the option of flashing a RUU and with that putting your phone back to bone stock.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
i would say start from scratch, flash the global ruu twice, pull the. zip followed by a factory reset. thats what I would do, if I was in your shoes.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Or reflash your ROM. If you can do a dirty flash you can just flash over it and I think you won't lose your set up. That should restore any necessary folders/files if that's the issue.
Oh! What about this... Format it in recovery or via your phone in settings. Since there's that option it should put whatever is needed on there.
If you can't tell, I'm just brainstorming here... I don't know what the files and folders are but seems to me formatting it from within the phone should work or why would you be able to do it?
EDIT: I just reread your post where you posted the pic. I guess you probably have more issues than just the ext sd. Probably best to RUU it and get back to stock and start from scratch. Then you know it's all good and clean.
Thanks

You don't need to factory reset after running the RUU, it puts it all back to factory stock anyway. Relock before you run it:
fastboot oem lock
And after it's done you'll need to unlock again and flash a recovery, root, then flash custom rom.

The funny thing is I have a COMPLETE Nandroid Backup of my phone even before I ever flashed my first ROM! (Before this even happened)
I went into Amon Ra and did a CLEAN WIPE. I wiped everything in the internal storage it was completely blank (I check it under My Computer)
I then restored my Nandroid Backup of my STOCK ICS from Verizon and HTC and Im still getting the same error.

Are you S-On or Off? If S-On, your nandroid may have missed a file that is necessary that can only be replaced by flashing a RUU. Just throwing ideas against the wall.
If I remember correctly, a nandroid from S-On can't touch the kernel and coming from MIUI there may be files that are missing or modified.
In that case, you may be able to pull the stock boot.IMG from the RUU you were on and push that to restore the files.

Another funny thing is I've before restored my Nandroid backup when I needed it with a ROM I had that was Unstable and it was working like it should I was back to normal.
Im thinking it has something to do with their towers in my area. But I called a friend that has Verizon as well and he seems to be handling alright.
I just dont get it. Im going to try that RUU flash and see if that works after I eat dinner and possibly relock my phone.

The android police website did have the RUU files but they are .zip only to flash in recovery they where PH98IMG.zip files.
So im not sure what to do.
hey
Im trying to run the RUU .exe files but the arent executing. I double click the .exe files but nothing happens. I locked my phone so now I dont have access to the bootloader =( I feel like throwing this thing in a river:crying: at this point.

Quoted the wrong post this is for the zip files.
You should only have to shorten the name to PH98IMG. All the RUUs I've seen are some longer name (usually the name of the site hosting them_PH98IMG.)
Then just place it on the root of your external SD and boot into Hboot.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Are you still working on this?
You should be able to RUU from a zip file. Just make sure it's named PH98IMG.zip, put it on your card and then boot into hboot. It should find that file and run it. Let it run through a few times, do its thing and it should reboot when it's done.
I came back here cuz I just ran across this post from another thread:

So that guy is using his phone normally without the external card. What happens if you boot up with the external card out of the phone?
I think it has something to do with the hardware on my phone that started not functioning. I did try going into recovery wiping the whole phone wiping my sd card and then placing the zip file in my sd card. I then booted into H boot and from ADB locked my phone rebooted and then it started to read the zip file and reinstalled to factory reset. I let it reinstall the files let it do its thing it restarted a couple of times reinstalled everything needed went back into the lock screen and was still having the same issue till now. But it's okay because I called Verizon Wireless spoke with him on the phone and I still have my extended warranty on the phone and they concluded that it was a hardware issue so I got to replace my phone for free lol

Go to phone dialer and put *#*#3646#*#* then go to phone information. Look for a drop down menu and make sure its on CDMA/LTE Only (or anything really with CDMA and LTE in it, that specific one may not show up on your list depending on what ruu your on.) That changes the specifics of how the radio operates incoming connections. Set your data settings back to HOME and turn off roaming. Lemme know if that works.
