[Q] Stuck On Roaming i605 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I recently flashed cm10.3 nightly on my vzw note 2. I did a full wipe and upon the first startup, my phone has been stuck in roaming mode. My phone shows the correct IMEI and my correct phone number, but is showing unknown network. I have tried a factory reset, restoring an older nandroid and finally relocking and going back to stock via ODIN. Any ideas what has happened and what I can do to get back on the verizon network?

did you ever get an answer to this? Same thing happened to me.

You have to Odin back to stock. Then once you are back on stock, go into settings and factory reset the data/device. Let it reset and reboot on its own and you should be set

All you need to do is load a touchwiz rom and do a factory reset from settings

[Q] Need to Revert from ICS to GB, need clear answer please!

Hi Guys
I flashed the leaked ICS but hate it. Can I flash to stock GB via Odin? What about the baseband versions etc.., would it matter?
Sorry, I read another thread but it's unclear and I want to avoid bricking. Thanks
As far as what I've read you can flash stock from Odin or even use CWM to a previous nandroid of gingerbread.

If you got your Note from AT&T, simply flash this stock ODIN:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
I went from ICS back to Gb cause I missed the tethering and it was easy. Just make sure you clear the caches and all should be well.
Thanks.. I was worried of the different baseband would have any adverse effect, but it doesn't sound like it will. I'll give it a try.
I Odin'd back to stock and I'm in a world of ****. My phone cant do anything, it just gets stuck on every swipe and reboots about every 5 minutes. Does anyone have any ideas?
Mines fine..only baseband is different, phone works.
Before I Odin to stock, I booted into recovery, factory reset and wiped cache. Odin, then booted into recovery and performed another factory reset and wiped cache again.

You get it figured out? I did the same thing. . My old apps still there. I can tell it is gingerbread, but nothing works now. I hope you got your figured out!!
When I boot into recovery I get the screen that tells me to use the up and down keys and when I choose factory wipe, and press power button, nothing happebs. If I hold it down eventually the phone shuts off. When i restart it, nothing changed.

I had to revert from ICS to GB yesterday and, even tho I am on Telus, I had success by flashing the pda-odin-att-stock.rar image
I can't post links .. I'm too new. But literally.. google what's bolded above and you will find the hotfile link.
It replaced everything (including the recovery) ... FULL system image. Solved everything and brought me back to 100% stock.
So yes, I lost my root and my CWM recovery software.. but it got my phone working again.. I can reflash CWM and re-root as I need.
After the install, wipe cache, factory reset etc.
I too flashed the stock ATT rom but like the previous poster, it gave me a phone which started up but wouldn't work. When I tried to get into recovery mode, it went to a screen with the recovery mode stuff at the top, but with a yellow warning sign in the middle and some words about manual mode, and it would not let me do a wipe or reset.
Here is what I just did that did work.
I flashed the recovery-i717-cwm-b4.tar file with odin. This worked and allowed me to get into the "proper" recovery mode to do a wipe and factory reset, as well as a cache wipe. I then reflashed tieh the stock ATT rom, and my phone now is back to stock.

You have to wipe data/factory reset when you sbf to stock or you'll boot loop. Go to recovery like you would with cwm, and when you get the Android with the triangle, press Vol up and down at the same time to get to stock recovery. Factory reset from there and reboot.

Stuck in roaming mode?

Basically when I tested the miui jb Rom and nandroided back my data went into roaming mode. I cannot get sevice on my phone and I don't know what to do. Help would be appreciated.
Assuming you've already looked at your network settings and ensured those are right.
Are you s=on and forgot to flash your kernel back?
I had an issue pop up like this on my rezound and had to take it to Verizon, no amount of ruu'ing or factory resetting helped, hope you don't have that issue!
You have to flash the stock recovery and do a factory reset. It will wipe your data and internal memory so back it up.

what ROM are you using? If its an AOSP based ROM, try setting the phone mode to CDMA only, then go back to GSM/CDMA/WCDMA/LTE and you should go back to normal.

No i'm running Newts One xxx. I have already tried switching the network settings to no avail. My phone is also s off so it's not a kernel problem. Gonna try the factory reset from stock recovery and see what happens.

Factory reset with a custom Rom

I'm having a problem with my Sim card activating, and the VZW tech told me to wait a while to see if it finishes and if not to go to the boot loader and do a factory reset. I'm currently running the EclipitcRez Rom from Hawk, so what does the factory reset do? Is it going to put the stock Rom back on or is it going to leave EclipticRez there and just reset some other things? Or should I just not do it at all.
Thanks!

It'll keep the ROM. It'll basically just erase any settings / apps you installed. All it really does is reset back to the stage where you first flash the ROM and perform the setup wizard.
They did it to my GNexus when I had to go in when my 4G wasn't working on it. I had flashed a ROM jsut before going there, and they did a factory reset on it, and it just wiped it back to the Setup Wizard.

Right on. Thanks for the reply. What I actually did was went to recovery and flashed the stock plus Rom from MicroMod and started fresh. 4G is back up and everything is running again. :highfive:
No problem, lol, and that works too I suppose.

[Q] flashing and data

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

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.
additional I keep a Original Back up on my Computer.

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?
