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!

I don't understand, you said everything works perfectly. So it keeps saying to activate or what's wrong?

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

Okay just checking the problem. First, there shouldn't be any flashing to go to tmoble just putting in a sim. Si to make sure you are truly stock Verizon, follow section 1b here using the official download.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34891181
Also check in your phone status to make sure your imei is still there and correct. If not

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?

warranty. If you've done nothing to the phone at the time it broke, changing sim card, and cleaning the contact points do nothing.
Shes broke.
I spoke with ATT warranty center and they are saying if your phone is not able to read sim card it's not covered by warranty.
Not sure what to do now.

The fact that it is a H/W defect on the phone. at&t should cover it. Thats bull**** if they dont. at&t would send you a new phone, and when you get that one you'd send your broke one in. samsung your out a phone for longer.
I'd be calling a manager at customer support in the warranty section. but Im an asshole, and if i pay good money for something, I tend to get my way when a device has issues that are not my doing.
Good luck man.

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.

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 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.

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

So i bought a samsung galaxy note off a guy on craigslist about 3-4 weeks ago and today i noticed i didnt recieve any calls or texts from anyone, so i checked my phone and could get a signal at all, so i reset the phone to factory using kies and now it says, Phone Not Allowed MM#6 and i cant connect to any network
someone please help and tell me what i can possibly do to solve this issue
I did a little research and it could be a few things... Either you've gave the carrier the wrong IME number or the phone was reported lost or stolen by the original customer... I would call the carrier the phone is for and ask them. Also if the original owner hasn't paid his phone bill the carrier can lock the ime from being used... I've heard a lot of people buying phones on Craigslist like that...

I have reset the phone to factory state = no fix
tried a different tmobile sim = no fix
tried calling att to see if blocked = not blacklisted so no fix
called T-Mobile to see if blocked = not blacklisted so no fix
tried to install custom rom = no fix
tried to restore phone thru kies = no fix
tried my sim in my GF's phone = my sim works perfect
im out of ideas and idk what to do!

so it's an AT&T note and you're using it on Tmobile right? have you tried an AT&T sim? If you don't have one available to you, I think you can go into an AT&T store and ask them if they can do a quick check for you. Be sweet, apologetic for using their time, maybe send your gf in to flirt with them a little they'll more than likely give you a hand.

I wouldn't say it's a dumb questoin, I've forgotten simple things like that myself so it's easy to overlook. Good call.

not a stupid question, i did not say if it was unlocked or not
but yes it is, i received the unlock code directly from ATT so im not sure on how to fix this, if the ATT sim works then i will just sell it as an att phone
What modem is showing in the phone ? (needs blaze modem for TMO, if it's an ATT device)
And are your APN settings correct ? (needs the TMO apn's)
Two nails in the coffin for service if not correct.....
just brainstorming....g
And sometimes the network around you has a brain-fart. Sometimes those problems go away within a day.
Everything seems fine I restored it to stock thru kies, but I went to att and tried a live sim and it worked like I should its for some reason only T-Mobile Sims that don't work ugh!

Try to unlock it again. I'm using my At&t branded unlocked Note on T-Mobile with no issues.

When I have a T-Mobile sim in it doesn't give an option to unlock again

thank you for your reply but i have tried these steps and nothing worked, i just cant understand why tmobile would block the phone if AT&T (which is what service the phone is purchased from) and other GSM carriers have not blocked it at all, just very fustrating!

isn't that second link one of the OPs threads?
Unlock is permanent. Getting t- mobile to work on the at&t version is hit-or-miss.
Its just weird that I had this phone working for over a month now and no problems what so ever till now, and its only T-Mobile Sims that are locked out

Have you tried a newer t mobile sim card. Some phones don't play well with the old tmobile sim cards.
