[Q] flashing and data - HTC Droid DNA

I'm on my second DNA I moonshined both phones and a week ago I flash the cm10.1 and had no data ie. Couldn't make a call couldn't text. Internet and everything worked after flashing cm10.1 it stuck on the first screen the "activating" screen so I flashed my backup which is the ROM it comes with out the box. And had no data there also.. Android 4.1.1. Sense 4.1+. Verizon exchanged my phone lucky for me. So i moonshined again and s-off and rooted. But scared to flash again in case this happens again. Coming from gs2, galaxy nexus and gs3 I haven't had to mess with bootloader at all. I guess where I'm going is what do I do if this happens again. I see a option to reset from boot loader? Will that fix the issue if it happens again. Is there something I'm missing before flashing?? I want to flash newtoroots sense 5 ROM just scared. If someone can provide some info on where o went wrong gladly appreciate it.

If this happens you can try the reset from bootloader but of that doesnt work you'll have to do revones return to stock method. There's a thread. Pretty much flashes the RUU (stock everything) and flash stock bootloader. Its not hard. I did this the other day to put my phone back to stock for my replacement.

Sometimes That happen when a Rom like a JB 4.2.2 required to wipe the System in addition to the normal wipe/factory reset. so if you tried
to activate the phone which you already have activated (most skipp activation) the SIM Card reset (someone else said fry) and your location and phone number get lost. so RUU fix all the troubles, but now you can safe flash NOS 4.1.2 very stable normal wipe. is good idea keep in your computer a Stock Restore Backup file. Reset from Custom Recovery won't fix the issue, has to be from Stock Recovery.

Based on the info you gave none of your issues should be caused by the boot loader or moonshine, sounds like a ROM side or kernel side issue. The radio mode may have been switched when you flashed Roms. It should be on CDMA/LTE when on Verizon and WCDMA/GSM when on gsm/Sim. Not sure how APN settings are managed within CM non gsm im not sure there is even an option to edit them. These settings (radio/apns) deal with how the phone connects to the network. Voice and text should provision automatically on stock android, not sure how to manually provision. On Sense based Roms as long as a compatible version of EPST is running one can use special dialer codes to manually provision the phone for connectivity as well as access other helpful settings. From sense *#*#4636#*#* would be the code to reach the Phone Information containing the radio mode switch I mentioned previously.

Thanks for the replies guys. Yeah on jb4.2.2 that activating screen is usually passed right by for a quick second bit some how my phone got stuck on that screen. Oh well its rattled me to the point of not flashing lol. Just rocking nova launcher with some icon packs. Might try sense 5 ROM tonight. Wish me luck! Lmao

If it happens again go into boot loader and just do the reset option? Is that it do I need to have anything else? Thanks again for the reply

RUU (after Stock Phone Reset) is the only way to Recovery from this, this happen to me once, what happen
-Operator Network Change (u can only have Internet)
-APN Setting Doesn't matter if you change it a least it be edited . Unknown Network and Mobile/network type unknown
-Phone Info state Phone number 0000000000 Zeros, Min Unknown, PRL 00000, Meid zeros,
-Restore from you back up out the box: does not work or doesn't restore Call and Text ( this is the problem) Phone doesn't know your location
then u are having internet only 4g like in a Roaming State.
-Flash or push new Rom same Doesn't restore (call/text)
-Factory reset from a custom Recovery Doesn't restore as well

to skip the activating screen you can touch the four corners of the screen in this order
top left
top right
bottom right
bottom left
this will bypass the activating screen
once you're in the rom in cdma subscription change it to the other setting, I stopped using that rom so i cant lead you through it
the aosp roms made my screen flicker so i went back to sense 5
good luck

This Sucks Verizon actually exchanged my phone In store considering I don't know how to ruu or what that is I haven't flashed anything on this new phone to afraid of the same **** happening again. Damn! Is this a cm10.1 thing? Or a android 4.2.2 thing? Is it safe flashing sense based roms ? This is kind of a nightmare for me not flashing anything.

You can safe flash NOS_m7_v3.0.2_VZW_zip , if you have TWRP recovery, just wipe normal factory reset, don't do advanced/ system wipe as most guys recommended, never wipe Storage phone people get stuck without OS because erase everything . I Flashed doing just factory reset on TWRP. I recommend wait for AOSP Rom get most stables soon coming leaks from official Verizon Wireless for the DNA/One. sense /GPE edition
RUU is the Factory image /setting original HTC/Verizon for DNA so when you RUU it revert anything to factory out the box phone
The RUU thing you have to read this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293919&highlight=flash+radio
Edit: Remember do always a nandroid Back up first before flash any Rom so you can easy restore your original Rom if something goes wrong.

I use clockworkmod safe to use? Never used twrp. And I always make a back up that's what's weird. When I flashed cm10.1 and it couldn't activate thought it was odd so I flashed my back up and that was affected also no activation. Anyways. So your saying if I flash something to wipe data/factory reset but don't go into advanced? Just wipe dalvik?

Accidentally Updated After Rooting

Hi,
I accidentally updated to Gingerbread on my Thunderbolt, and I forgot I rooted my phone, by the time I remembered it already had a blue android and an explaimation mark. So I did some random crap, and probley made it worse.
First I did the vol down power thing went to factory reset it loaded CWM v4.0.1.4
I wiped cache patition
Dalvick cache
and Battery stats
then I wiped data/factory reset
It loaded like it was brand new everything seemed fine till I updated and did same thing so I wiped the data again and now it keeps auto updating so I have to keep my internet off
and it's annoying as crap
I'm a noob so I don't understand stuff
should I go ahead with this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009423
I couldn't understand it and if your not rooted why would you unroot I don't get that part...
Do I still have root?
What does flash exactly mean?
Current Specs (I don't know what to give but I'll guess)
Thunderbolt
Top says
Mecha XD S-OFF
HBOOT 6.04.1002
eMMC-boot
Android Version 2.2.1
(tell me if you need any other info)
Should I upgrade to gingerbread any way
Download a customer rom, put it on your sd card and flash it in CWM. I'm running BAMF forever and like it. There are plenty of roms to choose from. This should stop the update. After running the rom if you decide you like stock better you can flash the stock rom back and take the update. You will loose root.
Pull the update off the SD. It will stop flashing it

I had a friend who's phone auto updated and is stuck on the htc boot screen. Will deleting the update off the sd card work also? Her phone is not rooted, just hoping to save her from having to replace it.
And how do you forget you rooted your phone?
If pulling the update off the sd what do i need to look for
i have a similar problem
my wifes phone is rooted though. it had a stock rom and she autoupdated
now i can only go to recovery mode.
is there a way to fix this and save the stuff on her phone

1) The phone will not boot all the way up?
2) is the recovery stock or CWM?
3) do you have a recent back up made?
4) do you have s-off?

1. it boots up all the way, turns off after 10-20s each time, regardless of what action i'm taking
2. cwm recovery
3. no backups recent or not
4. i don't know if i 'have it' but when i load hboot the status is 's-off'
Does it crash or shut off? Maybe a hardware problem?
It powers down the normal way.

If you clear the cache, the shutdowns will stop.
But the OTA will download again, and in a few days you will have to repeat the process.
A custom ROM fixed me, but now the same thing poped up.
May go back to stock .... trying xdabolt, but in the process lost my data.

What am I looking for on the SD card to remove?
sounds like you still have s-off. Anything you are trying to save like app data is gone if you do not have a back up. I would down load a customer rom or even one of the rooted stock versions with the latest OTA and flash that with CWM recovery. Be sure to clear cache and dalvick wipe first when you flash it. There are RUU you could use to return it to stock, but you will lose root. I'm running BAMF forever 1.0.9 and like it. Play around with some roms and if you don't like them use a RUU to restore you back to stock. Most important is make sure you read up on things first.
Hey I endded up just unrooting using this video
(can't show video url)
(Search how to unroot on youtube you should see it by nat3mil and I think that's only if you have revolutionary)
and I guess the video would work too.
If you restored to factory settings using power and vol down buttons and wiped the data in the revolutionary thing, and then followed the video...
phones working now and the video's idiot-proof
just posting this if anyone else needded to unroot

unrooting is good and all, but if that happens again, just look around for the newest ruu and find a rooted version. most ruu get rooted that day... heck i had 2.11.605.5 rooted b4 verizon released it (the 2nd leak, the one WITH working vm notifications) thanks to eris of course. then you'd be up to date, stock, rooted... all you'd have to do is wipe dalvik, cache, and system... keep the data (if coming from sense 2.1 rom) and you'd be good.
i don't mess with sense 2.1/3.0 hybrid or 3.0 roms anymore, for this very reason. a ton of incompatibilities between the roms and framework, causing you to have to wipe data when switching... what a pita! i haven't wiped data in months. keep the data always to make life easier...
if you have problems, use clockwork's "fix permissions" and reboot. problem not solved? then retry rom installation WIPING EVERYTHING, then at least you tried to keep your stuff. titanium backup is great for backing up apps + data, so you can import the data back when you're stable on the new rom... just restore the apps + data for the necessary apps, and app only for the stuff that doesn't mnatter... never restore system apps + data for roms with severely different basebands or from completely different roms. unrooting won't be necessary next time
I had my phone half rooted, OTA came and I selected to defer, well I forgot and now I have the security warning.I tried flashing through the bootloader on my SD card the stock file and I still have the security warning. I use my phone as my internet source so it's been a big PITA. The phone starts, goes to 1x, then 4G, then restarts over and over.
Won't load into recovery, won't factory reset, using HBOOT USB and the command prompt the device isn't recognized.
Right now its as follows:
S-ON
1.04.0000
1.16.0223r

If the phones rooted you can prolly get into recovery VIA hboot.
If its not rooted you can prolly find a ota ruu and flash it in hboot. U can do that if its rooted too but ull lose root. Or if its a locked s off there's methods to roll back to factory and turn s on. And yes delete the orig update off the card

[Q] CM9 Alpha 13 - Can't activate service

So I flashed CM9 alpha 13(after wiping) but can't get service to activate on my phone. Same problem I'm having with alpha 9. I use the activate button when it starts and it tells me it failed. Under "About Phone" and "Status" I can see that the My Phone Number setting is wrong so is the MIN.
When I call my carrier to manually activate, the short codes they give me to manually input this info do not work.
Anybody else had this problem?
Go into Sprint Zone, and try to manually activate.

Ok, so I wiped... Flashed CM9. Rebooted. The activation call failed, so I called sprint to manually activate again. They asked me to punch in ##971912# which is supposed to pop up a dialog screen where I can manually input MIN etc but did not. Not sure what to do.

I had this problem as well. I've also bricked my phone flashing an electrify pudding by mistake on my photon. My fix after fixing my boot loader issues was: I reverted to completely stock. Then I called sprint and had to reactivate my phone. After getting everything working and having a secure connection for over a day I then flashed cm7 to make sure that would work. After it did I did a says wipe and wiped everything else. And flashed cm9 then went into recovery wiped and flashed again. Then I flashed gapps and boot up. After booting up I went back and wiped again. And then used the phone for about twenty minutes and wiped and flashed "all" again. It was a long drawn out process. But I have had none of the issues that people are having on the forum. Battery life is great after calibrating. 3G is almost as fast as the 4G I had. Never have a single reboot or battery pull. Wifi and Bluetooth bead on perfect. I'm new to xda but not development. I'd post my success in the forum, but I'm not yet at ten post.

I tried reverting to stock as outlined by qbking77 but every time I sbf'ed the file as instructed I lost my recovery. The 'Unlocked' notice disappeared as it was supposed to but once I did that I couldn't get any recoveries to stick, stock or CWM, until I "re-unlocked" the phone with that sbf. Even then I couldn't get the stock recovery to write properly.
I'm pretty new to all of this. I unlocked my Optimus S and tried a few ROMs on it before I settled on Reborn Rom, but that's about my only experience with these things. I'm not incompetent(I hope) when it comes to this stuff, but it's definitely a learning curve. I'd like to master the whole process though so I can delve into the dev side of things a bit.

A combination of what you and FanBoy suggested. First I wiped and flashed Rocko ROM. Got the phone to activate. Then I wiped. Flashed CM9. Wiped again. Booted up and verified service was active. Wiped again, Flashed CM9 again, wiped again, and flashed gapps v3.
I really don't know what the problem was to start. I originally tried to flash CM7 and couldn't get signal at all. So I flashed MIUI with the same issue. Finally I flashed CM9 and had signal but couldn't activate. So the problem wasn't tied to CM9, but I honestly have no idea what I did to lose signal/activation or to gain either of those back, but my phone does work now and I've successfully flashed both CM9 and Rocko without the loss of signal or service and have nand backups of both since my biggest problem originally stemmed from not having a nand backup of my latest working set up.
I think I hear the ice cream man!

Most custom roms disallow communication from what ever it is that allows you to activate with sprint. I noticed that porting in sprintzone.apk often doesn't work and you can't activate with the dialer because it requires communication with sprintzone. So you need to flash to a rom that allows activation and then work your way back up. Glad to hear you got it working.

[Q] Suddenly roaming with full bars and triangle on top

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.

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.

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

Where can I find the right GLOBAL RUU for my phone?
So I flash the RUU twice one after another. Delete the zip? and Boot and do a factory reset?
I would appreciate any links you can forward me to for the Global RUU!
:victory:Thanks in advanced.
It used to be here:

But I just read today that all those mirrors are taken down.
Check the Developer section in the Vigor Shipped RUU thread.
Here's the link from that thread:
http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Vigor
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.

I am S-On. Its so weird I cant wrap my head around it.
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:

Could it be because I don't have an SDcard? My phone doesn't read SDcards anymore, so I'm using only the internal storage.
Thanks again!

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

Although the problem wasnt solved I still appreciate everyone's help on the matter.

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.

[Q] CyanogenMod broke voice service on all ROMs

Here's what's happening:
I have a Galaxy Note 2 (i605) running Stock MC3 firmware. Everything is functioning perfectly. Then, I decide to unlock / flash cyanogenmod. After unlocking, everything still functions fine. After flashing cyanogenmod, my note will still connect to 4G, but will not send SMS, MMS, or phone calls.
No problem, I think. I odin back to stock MC3. Perfectly stock, same exact issue. How is it possible that something changed by installing cyanogenmod "sticks" through an odin-cycle?
Please someone help. I'm not enjoying having such an expensive paperweight.
Same exact problem here... trying to figure it out.
I had a similar issue on my s3. I had to use the unbrick files for Odin instead of the stock ones. It fixed it for me. Except my issue was I was stuck in roaming.
Sent from my KitKat note 2
ugh, now I'm stuck in roaming after using Odin root66
If you are on a stock rom go to settings > backup and reset > factory reset. Let the phone reboot on its own. When it reboots run through the setup and it should be working again once you finish. That's what worked for me.

I did that 3 or 4 times and it didn't work for me.
Exactly which stock odin flash did you use? I used root66_VZW_stock_system
I did not use Odin. I just flashed back to cleanrom and did the factory reset from settings not from recovery. Also I am using cwm and not twrp just in case that may make a difference.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk
I went back to stock, did the reset and got the radio working correctly after that. then rooted again. so annoying. bad CM10.2 bad!!
Just in case anyone else is like me and didn't thoroughly read this thread...
You must factory reset from the settings option, NOT FROM RECOVERY.
I'm not clear as to why that makes a difference, but after I Odin'd to stock and ran CASUAL, I kept using ServiceModeShortcut to toggle the modem, then rebooting into recovery to factory reset. Never worked. Then I reread this thread and realized I needed to do it from the settings menu instead. Worked first time! :victory:
What a stressful few hours. Totally thought I wrecked my phone...now, it's clean and ready to install a ROM. Think I'm sticking with Beans for a while :good:

[Q] DNA texting and calling issue

So, I used Moonshine to unlock and root the VZW Droid DNA, and after it was all said and done, I installed CM11 with the KK Gapps.
Normally, I don't have an issue with this kind of thing, but I could call and text after for approximately two hours, then it just stopped.
I now can't text at all, and when I call, it says something about needing to go to an external operator on VZW's service,
but what gets me is that I still have LTE, I still have data, I can browse the internet, I just can't call or text. I'm baffled.
In settings, in about phone, it says it's connected to service, it isn't roaming, it has all connectivity and even shows me my number.
Why could this be? I really need this phone to have service. Thanks to all who help!

Same issue here. All data works via LTE (status bar icon turns blue) but without SMS or phone ability. Traveling on business this week I noticed poor connectivity and ran the *228 #2 option to update my roaming coverage. I thought that was the cause, but it may not be if others are experiencing the same. I can reach Verizon activation if I switch CDMA mode to automatic (goes to roaming) but activation cannot complete. Seems like we need reprogramming for some reason but I doubt Verizon will want to assist us with customized software.
Wise people of XDA, please help/advise us confused souls.
Verizon DNA, Moonshine, TWRP beta, CM11 (no difference with stable CM10.2.1).

This is the same method I used to get mine working again.
Something happened to my radio partition, it was showing my phone number as 000-000-0000 and would not recognize the SIM. Too many ROM flashes. Hahaha. This will rebuild all the factory partitions.
Worked like a champ for me.

I'm sure this is a silly question I'll find the answer to immediately after I hit "Submit", but... I've found the Sense 5 deodexed ROM mentioned in similar threads but how do I know which recovery download to use? 1.15 or 3.06?

Scratching my head. Nothing sees the phone via ADB though the drivers and software appear correct. I'm able to flash TWRP through Flashify and Flash Image GUI but it doesn't seem to like any of the recovery options above. Selecting Recovery from the Moonshine HBOOT screen brings me (eventually) to a red "!" triangle over a phone. I have the option to reset through Sense 5 settings or Moonshine, but my guess is that just makes things worse/does nothing without the correct recovery. Any ideas?
EDIT: Small gains - computer sees the phone if I reinstall CM10.2.1. Not that it fixes much...

After a day or two of use I have lost LTE and a second reset has not brought it back. I have had past sporadic SIM card error messages upon boot of fresh CM installs but assumed it was normal. Connectivity would eventually resume but I'd nudge the card tray anyway. 3G seems strong & solid - thoughts/suggestions?
