Thunderbolt SIM won't activate? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently sold my thunderbolt that was flashed and activated to page plus, all i changed when i activated it on page plus was the MIN and similar numbers like the addresses. The person tried to activate it with verizon but it didn't work and they tried 5 different sim cards and it still didn't work. What is the reason? I reset the phone back to factory setting but never got a chance to change any of the info back to normal like the MIN, PRL, etc. What I also did was change the EVDO settings to the [email protected]. Could any of this be a problem with it being activated back on verizon?
EDIT: I've looked and people talked about using RSD or putting the latest RUU back and it should be able to get activated easily? Wished i did this before so i wouldn't have to refund the buyer.

He will need to get a new Sim, call Verizon and tell them he needs a master reset. I had the same problem with my bolt because the guy I got it from was on page plus and not matter what they did it wouldn't show my phone number. It would help if you put it back to stock unrooted first.

Yea the buyer caught me off guard with the quick buy so I couldn't do what I wanted exactly before selling it so i took the dive anyways. But they told me they can't even get it to activate and tried 5 different SIMs. It wouldn't work at all. Is this what happened to you? I was looking around and there's RUU files that can put the thunderbolt back to factory settings including the flashed information. What does the Master Reset at verizon do? Basically like the RUU option right and not like a factory reset like i did?

I used an ruu to go back to stock. It took me almost a week to get a tech to do the reset. They don't like to do them because it is possible to get a bad ESN phone on the network this way. You need too let them know that you are rooted and also tell them that the phone was being used on another network before you got it. The warranty is void anyway so it doesn't matter if they know. Just talk to customer service and tell the tech you need a level 3 or a supervisor. Explain to them what is happening and they can help I promise.

Thanks! So the RUU won't get it back to be ready to activate on verizon just from that? You still need to ask a tech to do a master reset?

Yes because Verizon can only strip the page plus number from their system using a master reset. I only suggest going back to stock because they will ask you to do a factory reset. This is a part of their process and you have to do it.

Makes sense, thanks! I didn't think it would be a problem going back to verizon since page plus shares the same network. Anyways the buyer decided to ask verizon to send a new 4g sim card and she'll try again later in the week. I'll go ahead and tell her if it doesn't work explain to them that the phone needs a master reset since it was used on another network. Hopefully it'll be smooth.

Np. It should work unless Verizon black listed the phone.

Hmm.. The buyer got a new sim card and tried again but said it still didn't activate.. Apparently they even resetted it and it still didn't work. ESN is clean and I had it on page plus so it's not black listed

[Q] Do I need to unroot my Thunderbolt to have it activated?

I just bought a Thunderbolt, and decided to root and try some ROMs out before deciding to make it my daily driver.
Now that I'm ready, I need to take it into Verizon to get a SIM card, and need to know if I need to unroot it, or if I can just flash a Sense ROM (doubt any Verizon employee would know the difference).
Thanks!

I had lots of problems when I tried activating while I was rooted. I had to unroot, lock the bootloader, and have a Verizon tech do a master reset on the phone to get it to activate.

Is there any way I can perform this master reset myself?
No. You have to be on the phone with the tech and do a factory reset at the same time. You should first try to go back to stock and activate it normally. You will need a new sim probably.

I took a rooted HTC TBolt that was loaned to me into the Verizon store a few weeks ago to have it activated. I did get a lecture about how the warranty was voided by rooting (it wasn't under warranty any longer anyway), but they activated it no problem.
I traded a Droid charge for my tbolt and called support and had it switched to my account. It was s-off and rooted and it worked just fine. I know its a little different than op but i think you will be okay.

[Q] Activating a Thunderbolt on Alltel

I have tried a few times getting this answered, but never actually got an answer. I'm on an Alltel Smart plan, vzw has not engulfed the Alltel stores in our area. I've seen in posts that other members have gotten them to work on other networks, Alltel included, and I was just wondering how the whole process works? I've tried just switching it out with my current plan. The calls and text work, but not the data. Do I have to call vzw to unlock the sim card and that's all, or is there something more to it? I've looked and looked, and all I see is that it's possible, but not how to do it exactly. You can tell me it's possible to travel to the moon, but until you tell me how to build a rocket, I will never get there.
I don't think the data will work with alltel.
You can give Alltel a call and see what they say
The posts here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115840 suggest that it is possible, which I couldn't see why they wouldn't since the CDMA should still work, but I tried it once before and got nothing. I'm just curious if unlocking the SIM card would do it, or what I do have to do to get it to work.
I'm on an Alltel plan and I had no trouble activating the thunderbolt on my plan.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
Did you have data working on it? What did you do to get it working? Was it unlocked, or did that not matter since the SIM is only used by the 4G?
I'm going to have to go in extra early to work and phone it in, since my current phone is dead, and I want to have as much info as possible going into it.
Everything works just fine. The plan has nothing to do with the service you get from your phone. When Verizon bought Alltel they bought their towers as well so everything that worked with Alltel was transferred to Verizon.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
Tried phoning it in, to no avail. They asked for the MEID number. I thought it was the same as the EMEI number but wasn't sure so I played dumb. Got me nowhere since they couldn't find the model number of the TBolt in their system. And since the Desire's Number starts off A100 and the TBolt's starts off HT12, I can't pass it off as a desire? And they seem to be rather persistent on it being an alltel phone...
If your trying to activate this on at&t it will never work. The radio is a totally different band than the Verizon network.

Thanks for clearing that up. I had no idea..... The desire sim will not work in the t bolt. I don't see how the t bolt could ever work on Alltel without being able to activate it with a sim in it. Call Verizon and talk to them about it. They should be able to transfer your account to Verizon no problem and send you a sim so you can activate the phone.

Alltel, which you have verified was working on Alltel. They just keep giving me the runaround on activating it since it's not an Alltel phone.

The desire does not have a sim since it is only 3g capable.
You said earlier that you had your tbolt working on your alltel plan.
I don't want to switch to verizon.
Don't you love how people state that they have done something and do not provide a link or info to backup what they said could be done? People, if you say that you got something to work where others have not. Use a little common courtesy and provide some info. Otherwise you are either misleading or teasing some one for no good reason at all.

All i did was call Verizon and had my plan from Alltel grandfathered over. How freaking hard is that to do? Is it that hard that a guide is really necessary? He will need a sim for his t bolt and the only way to get one is to have Verizon give him one.

You nor anyone ever said that you grandfathered over to vzw. It is not my plan, it is my parents and as they prefer to stay with alltel since they are cheaper, I don't really have that option.
As the post title says, I need to get the phone ACTIVATED on alltel, not grandfathered into a new plan. I've had the phone and text working on it before, I just needed assistance on getting the data to work on it if possible.
Posts here on the boards state that there are tbolts activated on alltel, but none state HOW. And since there is a sim card involved, that is all I'm trying to figure out. Is it possible as others' posts' suggest, or am I just sol until my contract expires in a few months?
I couldn't get the t bolt to activate without the sim. It will show a no sim error on the lockscreen and won't let data through. That is at least what I experienced. I would try talking to reps on Verizon and see what you can do because I bet if you get the right person on the line they will figure something out.

Thank you. If I can get data to work, it is preferable, and since I was told in the first link I posted that a lot of members here had it, I thought I would try it. But I haven't gotten anywhere with anyone .
That link doesn't seem to work, it's error'ing out on me. I guess I'll just have to settle for call and text for awhile. Thanks tho, and sorry if I came off a bit harsh.
No big deal. The only way I've seen ( I have googled his by the way) is by getting your plan grandfathered over to Verizon.
You can't do everything without the sim in a t bolt.

I got a phone that was previously rooted and keeps rebooting

Ok so I had a international galaxy note that was a little beat up and I wanted a new evo lte. So I posted a ad on Craig's list to sell the note or trade for a new evo. A guy hit me up to trade today and we met and did a trade. Well the evo seemed to be working fine at first. But now it keeps freezing and rebooting. I did a factory reset to see if that solved the problem, and when the phone rebooted I saw a splash screen that said team winning. So I think the guy tried to root and messed something up. Is there a quick and easy way to flash or back to normal without bricking it ? or should I just claim it gets stolen,pay the deductible and get a new one? Any help on getting this back to stock would be great. It's in great condition but literally freezes and reboots every few mins.
Look in the dev section for the ruu.

Well what you are saying is insurance fraud and don't think you can talk about that here.
I would flash a stock ruu if I were you and test your luck. At the end of the day you bought/traded from a 3rd party that was not retail and have to deal with your own decisions.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
See if.u have a recovery installed by turning the phone off and loading into the bootloader by pressing and holding power + volume down at the same time..if so I guess u could attempt to unroot with a stock ruu
Didn't mean to mention the insurance thing if talking about that is against the rules. My apologies. When I enter recovery the teamwin recovery screen comes up. Also at the top of the phone it says unlocked and tampered or something like that. So should I just try to flash the stock rui? And are the instructions in the dev section? Thanks for all the help guys. I have flashed stock roms on my og evo and my evo 3d but never a custom Rom.
You can't flash an RUU. Just flash a regular ROM and see how your phone works.

Ok. How would I be able to tell if the phone is rooted? Like I said when I go into recovery it says tampered and then unlocked. Does that mean it's rooted? And if so can I just load a stock rom on it ? or should I watch the how to uproot video and run the rui? Thanks in advance for the help.

Tampered means rooted, Unlocked means bootloader is unlocked. Just load another ROM zip on SD card and flash it in recovery after doing factory reset, cache wipe and davlik wipe. Might be OK after that.
Thanks for all of your help. I will try to run the ruu or flash another rom after work today. I really like the phone and hope that that fixes the problem. Thanks again.
Use TEP on that. I have done that with my past ebay/craigslist phones with no problem. I bought them and then they ended up having hardware issues a few weeks or months after I bought them. When Sprints' techs ask me where I got the phone, I tell them Craigslist or eBay. One of them told me "That's pretty smart" when I explained how I bought a used phone and put TEP on it.
One of the reasons I love TEP is they don't care where the phone comes from! :good: :good:
If you can verify the power cycling while a service tech is present you shouldn't even need to pay a deductible
I would flash the Superwipe than any ROM of your choice. I like Stock with Goodies.
Just get a ruu and run it from your pc. That will get you back to complete stock. Use it stock and see if any issues come back up. If they still do then worry about fixing it. But I think you should be good after ruu
Thanks everyone for the help
I installed and flashed mean Rom and that seems to have cleared up the problem. Thank you to everyone who helped. I think I'll run this rom and see how I like it. if I have any problems with it I'll just go get the ruu and run it. I read in the forums that I have to relock the bootloader before I can run the ruu. How do I relock it? Thanks again.
I believe it's from adb:
Fastboot oem lock
Stop me if im wrong, but from what I read you could only add TEP within 30 days of a newly upgraded line. So im not quite sure how you ended up adding TEP on a use phone without a line upgrade.

Whenever I have bought phones outright or from off the net they have always just transfered my insurance from the line that I activate the phone on. I had a Palm Pre and bought the og evo from Sprint for full price. They simply transferred the insurance. As soon as I activatedthis Lte evo I got a message saying my tep went up from 8 to 11 dollars. And when I talked to the rep she said that the insurance transfered over.
Unfortunately I have to take this phone to the repai center tomorrow. I loaded mean rom on it and it worked great for 20 mins. Then it got stuck on Chrome and the screen wouldn't turn off. I came home relocked the phone, ran the ruu, and unrooted the phone. Still randomly reboots and resets itself. The guy at the sprint store said if they can't repair it and there is no sign of physical damage or water damage they will just give me a new one.
Yeah insurance transfers to a new device even if it's not "new"

Hello everybody, this is my first post although ive been here for some time.great forum. I am sorry if this is in the wrong section but i have looked every where and cant find anything to what im going thru? I recently traded my galaxy s3 for a note 2 on verizon that was flashed to tmobile and then reflashed to verizon. Everything works perfect (i am even typing this from the gn2) except this phone absolutely will not activate on verizon network. I spent 3 hours in a verizon store and also on the phone while in the store with a verizon tech, he tried everyrhing even multiple sim cards and told me that there were now too many orders aginst the phone and that it should clear up by morning. I did what they said and tried again in the morning and it still wont activate im afraid i just traded for a junk phone but samsung told me they can reflash it if i send it to them but that will be a week or more without a phone, is there anybody that can help me or at least point me in the roght direction? Thanks alot guys!

Hi, yeah if i put the sim card in it just keeps trying to activate, it will even make a call to verizon and youll hear the voice say "please wait while your phone is activated" then makes a beep noise and hangs up. I can only use this over wifi no verizon network, no 4g or voice. My network says unknown in settings also. Activation just repeats itself until it finally gives me the mwssage "were sorry we are having trouble activating your phone please call*********** from a differwnt phone. Thanks

This is sounding more like a network problem then phone. Try this may seem weird, but unlock and flash a couple ROMS. I've seen people say that they had a similar problem and it went away after a flash. He specifically flashed AOKP
I would also re flash the modem specifically

Ive done that the tier 2 tech finally just called samsung and got them to tell me they will repair it since it is still under the 1 year warrwnry but I have to send it to them, im just afraid they may find out that the fella I got it from flashed it to another providor (thats what he told me anyway and had to flash back to verizon) and then tell me to pay alot of money, I do have ins from verizon on it but they dont seem to wanna go thru that since I got it from another person. Also 99.00 is cheaper than what samsung would charge I would think?

Lost LTE

Hey guys I have been rooted for a while now but on Sunday I crack flashed a bunch of 4.2 roms and lost connection to 4g. I have replaced my sim card and re flashed the radios but I am now stumped. When I get home I will probably Odin back to stock but if you guys have any suggestions I would appreciate it.

go into settings/more settings/mobile networks/network mode, then toggle lte/cdma and see if it brings 4g back up. If that don't work you can try a factory reset, still nothing then odin back to stock.

did you get a new sim from vzw? i know you said that you "replaced" it but was that with a new or used sim? also might want to power device off and make sure the sim is seated properly.
also are you getting 3g, 1x, or any data at all?
I finally got it guys thanks.

how did u fix it?
After all of that fighting the system, changing the sim, reloading stock the sim holder is sort of wide and the spring forces it just a bit off of the contacts I adjusted it just a bit rebooted and got 4g back. Always check the stupid things that it could be first. Lesson learned for the 10th time. Though I checked it multiple times before resorting to a system restore so who knows what caused it.
Always check outside before working your way in!

Interesting. .. Did you get a replacement? Reminds me of when my girlfriend tried the dna... She would drop it or tap the phone and the sim card would disappear from the phone lol.

Nah I'm not going to give up my phone for a refurb unless I absolutely have to.
