I don't know what happened. Or why it won't work.
When Safestrap was originally finished, I installed Hyperdrive without a problem. An update came, I downloaded and installed. It made it so I couldn't use HotSpot anymore. So, I figured it was the Rom, and I installed Jellybean Rom. I didn't like it. I tried to install the original Hyperdrive I had, and once its installed and reboots, the lights come on for one second and shut off. Downloaded the newest Hyperdrive, same issue.
The instructions say wait for 10 minutes. I did, and longer. (Range usually 20-40 minutes)
Last night I wanted to try again, (downloaded newest hyperdrive. I have sloooooow internet. Took 5 hours to finish). So, I tried installing today following the instructions, same issue. It installs and says everything is fine, reboot, safestrap pops up, loads normally through that, and the lights are on after like it starts with Stock, lights shut off, phone stops working.
When this happens, the phone does not respond to anything. Power does nothing. I waited 45 minutes the 3rd time trying to reboot after install. The phone will not turn on, respond, or anything unless I pop the battery out and put it back in. I can get back into Safestrap that way.
I really want to use Hyperdrive, but it just won't reboot for my phone.
I do have the Verizon i545 version, ME7, Safestrap, Rooted, and newest Hyperdrive Rom. Used the Safestrap Kernel, but the phone locks up.
I've tried default settings, different Rom settings, (2gb and 3gb), removing almost everything from install, adding what I want, adding what I like, etc. No combination of settings will let me phone boot into Hyperdrive.
Any thoughts?
Are you completely removing then re-creating the slot when trying all these flashes?
Are you flashing the ME7 kernel module.zip ?
I redo the rom slot each time and act like it's the first time.
And i can't install the module... Tried multiple times but it fails almost instantly through ss.

Have you tried to re-download the module? Preferably on the computer then transfer to your ExtSDCard with the ROM.
So... The one I downloaded to my computer failed, but the one I did with my phone worked.
Still the same issue. Won't boot past the SS message.

While you were trying to install did you notice if zip signature was checked if so uncheck when you install and uncheck when you install module other than that don't know what else to say. When i first started i found that to be my problem.
The zip signatures were not checked. : /

And I've tried the older version Hyperdrive with the new ME7 Modules, still won't work. I can't understand because everything says it was successful and ready to go, but it just doesn't.
Also double checked my i545 version, it is still ME7 and not the new one. The new update is pushy and wants to be installed more aggressively than the ME7 did. Highly annoying...

Get off 3.62 and go back to 3.6 if you can. use root uninstaller to get rid of the current SS and shut down normally. ( all in stock rom ) reboot to stock recovery and factory reset. put the 3.0 SS back on and install twrp through that and reboot fully. then you can go into SS and reboot to recovery and you should be good
EDIT: go back to 3.6 SS not 3.0 haha
EDIT 2: always wipe even after you just created the slot and flash the modules with HD10 and advanced wip the dalvik and the cache only. and chill for 10 and boot her up..... and make sure you didnt accdentally get the dreadful OTA!!!

I promise you this makes no sense....and I think there was something wrong with the stock rom...only thing I can conclude. I did a factory reset and bricked my phone. I can't even get into Safestrap now...whatever the issue was with the custom rom is now the issue with the stock rom. So, i'm just going to wipe my phone and start over from scratch as that is the only available step. Ill let you know if it fixed the issue or not.

Did you have 3.62? my buddy did and his phone wouldnt let him delete it! crazy. i dont like 3.62 but i was running HDrls10 like a champ. not a single issue. With the me7 base i want to say i didnt even flash the modules over it but i cant remember. but basically ( by what i wrote down) you were going to start from scratch anyway.. there is a better root out now anyway. use the dialer codes and get a REAL factory reset!! There are a lot of people that arent digging the 3.62..... it was causing bootloops for a while but there are def still some lingering issues i think.

Well...nothing has worked.
Update for everyone, I was using the older SS, 3.60.
I killed everything, put the original Verizon ME7 Rom on the phone, re-rooted, put 3.62 SS on, (Done like it), installed the HDrls10, Installed the module, (both successful), restarted, exact same thing. Right after Safestrap Enabled pops up, the phone goes dark and the battery needs to be removed and put back in for it to turn on again.
So, I tried something crazy and for whatever reason it worked as far as HD is concerned...but...I went outside of the instructions.
I have the HD rls9 Final. I installed it through SS, used the modded Kernel, (non SS), and restarted. It popped right up in about 45 seconds. (Wasnt working before I reset everything and started over)
I tried HD rls10 Final that way, and nothing.
I will be redownloading it tonight to make sure it isn't the download. (I have slow internet, itll take all night likely.) : /
If anyone is looking to actually uninstall SS (which you need to do to roll back a version) you need to use the commands hashcode has provided. Using Terminal Emulator on the stock side will accomplish that. Read up on hashcode's SS OP.
My phone will not accept HDrls 10....no matter what I try. It accepted HDrls9 without issue, minus the hotspot not working. But it will not accept HDrls10...
Im out of ideas...
EDIT: I downloaded the HDrls 10 rom from two locations, tried both, both failed this morning.

All I can think of is somehow you are getting bad downloads. Have you checked the MD5s to match per the download sites listing?

I just double checked the MD5. It matches the download. How frustrating. Double checked the build, double checked the MD5, double checked install procedure, etc. It flat doesn't work on my phone, and there is no logical reason to it. I tried from a fresh build twice now, doing the rooting and SS install from stock everything.
It locks up right after SS, still.
Electronics hate me, it has been determined before. This is just further proof.
: /
So, I've done pretty much everything feasible. Guess Ill have to stick with an older HD or different rom. : (
Also, hotspot doesn't work HD 9 for me, (nor Jellybeans). I installed the module when I did the rom, but there is no hotspot for one. And two, when I download and use FoxFi, which I paid for to use on the Stock Rom before SS, it will try to turn it on and then it freezes and crashes.
All I want is a non-Verizon Rom with working Hotspot!!!! AHHHHH!!!! Looks like that aint happening.
Well played Verizon...well played. Perahps I should get an international phone and go to another company. Expensive, but tempting.
So, the final verdict for those following -
Hyperdrive 10 - Does not work on my i545 no matter what I tried.
Hyperdrive 9 - Works but the hotspot is glitched and froze no matter what I tried.
Jellybean - Works the same as HD 9
Synergy - Works. Everything on it works, hotspot, install, etc.
Not sure why the others did not work. But, for whatever reason Synergy works flawlessly for my i545. Installed and downloaded the same ways as the others, yet it worked.
: /
I was planning on trying a few others first, but Synergy claims to block Samsung from logging information from my phone. I realize this doesn't stop every company from doing it, but its the thought that counts. lol. So, Im trying this Rom out now. It's no hyperdrive, but it works.
After a BUNCH of tries I finally got it to work!!
I have a Verizon i545 with ME7. I basically started as if I'd never installed HD 9.1 in the first place.
Here's what I did.
1. Double check that your device is rooted. I used Root Checker Basic. I actually re-rooted my device just to be sure (I venture to guess it might have been unnecessary) and it worked.
2. I used a 4GB SD formatted to ex-fat and put the HD RLS10 AND the ME7 modules .zip file on it (Both on the SD)
3. I then booted into recovery.
4. Make a new ROM slot.
5. Name it whatever you like.
6. When you go to flash HD, hit the add zip button and select the ME7 modules.zip
7. When HD gets done flashing UNCHECK the "Reboot" box up top and then hit the reboot tab at the bottom right.
8. It will automatically flash the ME7 modules next. When it says 'Successful', then reboot.
9. Give it a few seconds and hopefully it will work for you as well. Good luck.
Latest installable version for Me7?
What is the latest installable version of HD for verizon locked Me7 bootloader, i currently have rls10.0 installed and ive tried 10.1, 10.2, and now 12 and none of them boot up.
Related
So here is the issue. I have a verizon note 2 sch i605. I have had it for a few months. I used the casual method to unlock the bootloader and install a rooted rom. From there i installed jedi x rom since it was the best i could find at the time. Didnt really like any of the other roms out there, especially ones without touchwiz. Makes no sense to have a note 2 without s pen functionality right?
So i kept jedi x for a while. And in my searchings a month ago i saw it had a new version. I also saw a new version for jellybeans which i sort of liked before, and a jedimaster rom. I figured id try both since i am a flashaholic.
I went to install the jellybeans rom and it installed fine. Rebooted and it got to the galaxy note 2 screen (first screen) rebooted, and went right back into twrp. I figured it was strange. So i wiped dalvik and cache and rebooted again. Same thing. Strange x2. I then did factory reset, wiped dalik and cache. Same. I gave up on jellybeans figuring it was a bum rom.
After that i tried installing jedimaster. Installed fine. Wipe dalvik and cache. Reboot. Same issue as with jelly beans... strange x13... not sure what was happening, and figuring it had nothing to do with the roms, i quit on the new ones.
I then went to to new version of jedix titled jedixv12. I wanted to see if it would dirty flash, so i tried it. It did just fine. Wiped dalvik and cache. Rebooted. Booted up perfect. In playing around with it i noticed that superuser was gone and supersu replaced it. Opened supersu and it informed me there was no superuser binary! All my old apps still had permission, but no new ones could gain... weirrrrrd. So obviously that rom would do no good. I then wiped everything and fresh installed the rom. Worked fine again. No superuser binary still.
Ok so that rom sucked. I tried then to go to jellybeans from this new version of jedix. Still same problem.
So heres the question. Am i doing something wrong? I have flashed other roms to this device many times. I actually went from jedi x to jellybeans when i first got the device rooted! Now it wont? I can not flash any new roms to my device. I am stuck with jedi x for good unless i can fix this! I have no idea what the problem is since another version of jedi x installs perfectly and boots. It just seems like my device wont let go of jedi x.
Please help if you have any ideas. I am open to anything. I have exausted my knowledge base and i would like to pick yours now.
Also... looked around the internet and i cant find anyone with this issue at all. Not even close.
You may want to install twrp again, but this is just a blind suggestion. I seemed to have this problem before. Do you have check md5 selected in twrp?

Nope. I have everything checked that was checked originally. I have changed nothing. As i said before, it used to be fine, and is fine when installing fresh copies of jedi x.
I havent tried reinstalling twrp. But i cant see why that should be an issue since it installs things fine.

Are you sure you are on the latest TWRP 2.5.0.0?
Also, in superuser you may have an option to update binaries.
But it sounds like your root might be borked and a complete and fresh unlock/reroot might not be a bad idea.
Also, as already mentioned. Are you verifying the md5 is good on your rom downloads?

The issue with superuser only happens when i install jedixv12. It is fine on my rom that i use right now. SuperSU is the problem i believe. It says that it cant find the binary and cant install one. Basically says screw you you arent rooted. But as soon as i revert back to my original jedi x rom it is fine.
I dont check md5 but i have downloaded the roms multiple times so i am pretty sure that one of the downloads should have been good. I am attempting to install a new recovery to see if it fixes my issues.

May not necessarily need a new recovery, maybe just make sure you're on the updated one. Are you still on the twrp version included with casual unlock? If so, it is likely out of date. If you aren't already aware, you can just install the goo manager app from playstore, tick menu, then install open recovery script and it will flash and bring you current

I was on the original one that came with casual. I just updated to the newest using rom toolbox pro.
Just as a weird side note... i updated and tried to install jellybeans again. After the install it says "your device does not seem to be rooted. Install supersu now?" I swiped to install and it just rebooted. Then same thing as before. Stuck at samsung galaxy note 2 screen then restarts itself and goes back to twrp. I am soooo confused. Thinking about trying to use cwm see if it makes a difference.
UPDATE:
Tried cwm. Same results. Obviously not a problem with recovery. Very confused.
*READ BELOW FOR A GUIDE TO FIX*
I've had my note for over a year now and i have had it rooted pretty much the entire time. Never any problems with it up until recently it started doing this thing where it would keep restarting. It would boot up and less than a minute later just restart. Off and on for a few days it was doing this. I was still running 2.3.6 at that point. So i decided to push 4.0.4 via odin since kies didnt support the firmware. Everything was working fine for a few hours then all of the sudden "the ring of death" showing me no service. Went through the phone and noticed it was saying there is no sim inserted. Tested sim on another phone. Works fine. Since then ive figured out via kies i can recovery and update firmware. Tried that. No Bueno. Now im to the point where im on 4.0.4 with no service. I've scoured through forums trying all kinds of different things, pushing different roms and modems via odin and cwm. Still no bueno.
Baseband version
Unknown
Kernel Version
3.0.8
Build Number
IMM76D.UCLF6
If anyone can give me ideas im willing to try them out.
Thanks.
I got it working so heres a direction for anyone else who has this issue!
Replaced Sim&SD card reader-No fix
After flashing all kinds of roms & modems still same issue saying no sim inserted.
Do a hard reset through your settings.
Flash cwm and put the radio from this link on your sd card. Use cwm to flash the radio.
Flash rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261598 via odin.
The first try i got an error during flash and got stuck on the software download error screen.
Reflashed the JB rom.
After its flashed flash clockwork recovery.
Enter cwm and do a factory reset. Clear cache. Clear dalvik cache. Reboot system.
If you get service, turn off phone. enter cwm and do a backup.
Reboot system.
It should be working.
If not restart and make sure to do a factory reset through your settings in the phone before reflashing rom.
Got the Phone up and running for about 30 mins.
After battery removed it reverted back to no sim card inserted.
Kept reflashing rom until it worked again.
Flashed cwm.(ClockworK recovery mod)
Deleted cache, dalvik cache
Backed up via cwm
If it reverts back to no sim after that restore using the cwm backup.-it worked for me
Now for the tricky part, my phone was getting crappy service...
So heres what i did to fix it.

I believe I've read something like this before. I think they fixed it by starting over from scratch. Try returning to stock thru Odin. Then root and flash rom of choice.

GB stands for Gingerbread which was the first version of the OS that came with the phone. I believe the number was 2.3.6 (you can take a look in the about section in the settings and it'll tell you what you're currently running). ICS is Ice Cream Sandwhich which for our phone was 4.0.4 i believe. Jelly bean just came out today which you can use Kies to upgrade to and that I believe is 4.1.2. The numbers don't really mean a think, just the classification of what the OS is so if your phone reads something else (say 2.3.4) assume your phone is right and I'm wrong. I can't remember OS versions to save my life haha.
But you can use Kies to do an emergency recovery and I THINK it'll install Gingerbread. that's where I'd start, then test it, and then move to ICS and test, and then move to JB and test. I know long tedious process, but sometimes it's necessary. Imagine how fun I am to talk to on the phone while troubleshooting a computer :laugh:

what I use to migrate, and I between roms at least once a week with a full wipe because I rely on my phone being stable.
SMS and call logs: SMS Backup + (saves your call logs and sms to your gmail account. Makes a label for it and everything, pretty sweet. You can also restore from it. it takes about an hour for me to restore at 7000+ text messages).
pictures/media: stored on SD card
apps: if rooted and rommed I use titanium backup and run 2 sets. those which I want to keep my data like sms backup + to make restore easier and those I don't care about the data like google voice. If you're stock, just remember to check the little box in the beginning saying backup this phone to google (or something like that) and the next time you have to restore tick the box that says restore from google (or something like that) and it'll reinstall your apps. Mind you not the info, but it'll give you a head start.
As with your issue with installing roms. If you're using CWM i highly recommend switching to TWRP, not saying it's better in fact I like CWM better, but TWRP is the best for our roms and phone. If you have no clue what I mean by CWM or TWRP, read the all info sticky about how to rom thy phone.
I hope that helps.
Thanks OG. Yes, I know CMW and TWRP. I used to switch ROMs a lot. Finally stuck with Collective's latest (the orange one) pretty happy with it except that it's major glitch seems to be reboots whenever an app updates. So I figured unchecking auto update in Gstore should handle that.
You're saying I should try rooting w Odin again, install Superuser, then use TWRP to flash with? I'll be happy to read another 4 hrs of posts/stickies if that'll get me sorted out. I don't expect people like yourself to spend your day helping me. I'm very thankful for your tips here.
I've poured thru the "All things Gnote" threads and Noob Guides. They can be confusing as they always link out to many different threads. There is hardly ever a "Here are the steps 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Thanks again OG.

No problem always happy to help. since you're used to this sorta thing you don't need to use odin again and reroot. What you can do is either install TWRP through CWM using this file here:
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/sgh-i717/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-quincyatt.zip
Or you can install Goo manager, click settings and select Install OpenRecoveryScript (though that's only 2.4.4.0 the link above is 2.5.0.0)
That should change you over to TWRP. and like always do a nandroid backup and then flash to your heart's content!

i have the same issue.....i kn0w its n0t an hardware issue....my ph0ne is fairly new never dr0pped and this started happening 3 days after i p0rted black star jb alpha
I have this same issues ive tried flashing everything ive tried a new sim and replaced the card reader.
What works consistently for me if to flash the latest modem everytime i have to reboot or boot the note. Its my daughters phone now and she drains the battery regularly if it boots after charging or it needs to be rebooted for whatever reason it will come up with the no sim card error. If i flash the modem thru recovery it will work for that boot but only as long as I dont reboot or shut the phone off, then i will have to flash the modem again.
Not fixed
All. This is not fixed. I am having the same issue and if you follow the guide, it works for a day maybe regardless of what rom is loaded or what modems. Has anyone found a real solution to this yet??
i717 running stock GB or ICS or JB roms...
Thanks!
I have the exact same issue. Replaced the sim/sd card slot and still no dice ): Flashed to stock and back. Nope. Still won't work

I'm having the same problem. There seems to be no set way to get it back to working. Basically any reboot of the phone produces a no sim card error. I have tried flashing the modem through recovery as it was mentioned that will fix the problem. That did not work for me. What does work, sometimes, is one of the following:
1. Full wipe and reinstall
2. Restore backup from Recovery
3. Fix permissions
I just keep doing one of the above listed and eventually it works. However if the phone reboots then it's back to the carousel of trying these options to get it back to working.
I'm running Padawan JB V2
I honestly have no idea what's causing it. I haven't tried to fix permissions before to fix this issue, but if I go into recovery and install the modem again and reboot, it works fine for a while (and by a while, I mean like a few hours at max).
Just started having this issue, myself...after flashing Tmo_SGH-T989_VKL1_radio_ATTNOTE.zip modem on my phone...restoring from a prior backup...
Restoring a backup will not change your modem.
I have had many phones and never had as much trouble than this phone is giving me. Every rom that does work when I flash them don't have any wifi or service. Even when I install gapps it is like it skips the setup and goes straight to the home screen.
I just came from a bionic and didn't think it would be much of a change to make this phone run like my bionic did. I have tried recreating rom slots with fresh installs and wipes on several roms, most of them cm10 based and even liquid smooth wont even install which is the rom I love the most. I have looked for several fixes but nothing seems to be working.
Is there something I am missing? Do you have to unlock the bootloader on this thing or something? Any help would be appreciated.

Wifi usually fixes itself after reboot, but for no-service I dont know.. Are you flashing correct version for your Razr (xt910/xt912), or flashing GSM patch if you have xt912 on GSM network?
Not to be redundant, but how ARE you flashing the ROMs? I've never had issues with connections (so long as I am using the applicable google apps, I have had to revert to a release or two earlier for proper operation in the past). I wouldn't recommend flashing ROMs via RSDlite, if that's the route you're taking. BMM and Safestrap (The latter can be achieved with Matt's Utility, it's what I use) are better options. Using a different partition on the internal storage, and retaining Stock rom. I never had any issues with Avatar (CM10.1 based). I'm about to try out AOKP. Good luck.

Well I have been using safestrap since I used it on my Bionic and I am already familiar with it. The one that is bugging me the most is not being able to flash LiquidSmooth 2.9. (I am on SS 3.53 btw) Also I am using the XT912 and already researched the difference between 910 ROMS before flashing.
When I try to install it the error comes up saying:
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found
Warning: no file_contexts
set_perm: some changes found
E: error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard-ext/Liquid-JB-v2.9-OFFICIAL-spyder.zip
Error flashing zip
I just wonder, if that thing is saying that the zip is meant to be an update for an existing version of LiquidSmooth. But on goo.im there is only 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9.
I've never seen that error (but I've been wanting to try LiquidSmooth, maybe I can duplicate the problem). I know with AOKP, I have to install on romslot2. For whatever reason. Have you tried any other slots besides 1?
EDIT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2222535
The installation instruction for LiquidSmooth 2.9 say to install on RomSlot3, and only RomSlot3. I'll give it a whirl on 1 and see if the error is duplicated, but it shouldn't effect the install, regardless of the slot #.
http://goo.im/devs/liquidsmooth/spyder/Liquid-JB-v2.9-OFFICIAL-spyder.zip
This is the mirror I used to get the ROM.
Installed on Slot 1 without errors. Flashed gapps, wiped cache, restarted- wouldn't boot.
Wiped and deleted Slot 1
Installed on Slot 3 without errors. Flashed gapps, wiped cache, restarted- Success!
I never could duplicate the error you had, using the JB Liquid Smooth I got from goo.im
Also, for what it's worth, in the "Issues" category on the LS link from above, it said there was an autofix that would correct the wifi connectivity problem. Mine would never fully turn on wifi on first boot. Rebooted, worked perfectly. And the CM style setup went off without a hitch.
I also used goo.im to get mine. I tried all three versions of it but no success; all three got the same error code. I am wondering if the version of safestrap I am using is causing the error.

Just threw out the version 3.5x of SS I was using. Going to try 3.11 and see how it goes. Man, I hope this works, I just came back from using an iPhone for the last two months after letting my brother have my Bionic because they couldn't flash the iPhone on his service provider. I guess if it doesn't work I will be happy having android back nonetheless. Just want something other than motoblur.

So I scrapped 3.5x for 3.11 and the install went perfectly normal. Accidentally installed the wrong gapps package and had a force close assault from hell. Redid it with the right gapps and everything is up and running now. I am so glad to have it running and ready to set up now. Thanks for your help guys!
Before continuing reading, please keep in mind that the problem I am asking support for was already solved for my own. What I want to know is how did it happen. For prevention, you know.
It all started when I flashed the Black Box ROM 2.0.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1834915) It flashed normally, without any problem. But, since it lacked the Xposed Framework, I installed it manually, downloading from its thread, and choosing a full install. Using the Framework I downloaded Gravity Box and the Youtube Adaway, before downloading Youtube. Since the modules needed a reboot to work, I rebooted. And this is when the bad things started to happen.
The ROM did not start. It went through the BlackBox logo, but when it appeared that the SIM unlock was going to pop up, then the phone turned off. This happened many times. So I decided to do a full wipe and install another ROM. The problem was that the phone didn´t allowed me to access the recovery.
I was using the PhilZ Touch 6, but when I pressed Volume up+Menu+Power it did not work. The only thing that worked was the Odin Menu, and I got stuck at it, I couldn´t get out the Odin Menu. So, seeing that the phone wasnt going to work anyways, I flashed a 4.3 stock ROM through Odin.
As I suspected, the ROM got stuck at boot, and got a bootloop. So then I flashed another recovery, and flashed good ol´ CWM. And It worked..for a while. The phone would shut down after some seconds. So then I tried to flash TWRP, but it lasted about one second and then the phone shut down again.
Since I was using Odin 3.03, I downloaded Odin 3-04 Moded Edition, from the Modem thread, and then reflashed CWM. In this time, it worked without failing, and I could do a full wipe and flashing an old Cyanogenmod 4.2.2 ROM, finally solving the problem. The day after I flashed Ultima ROM and at the moment it goes fine, without any problem. Which is weird, because it too uses Gravity Box and Xposed Modules. I even installed new modules, rebooted the phone and it works fine, without any problem.
What I want for the people here is that someone explains to me what happened, because the BlackBox ROM looked gorgeous and I wanted to give it a long try. And because I spent an entire night solving that problem, and well, I wont sleep in peace until I get to know what happened to that bastard

OK first black box already has xposed in ROM control settings.. so maybe because you manually installed it it may have caused conflicts... Don't know why you got a recovery bootloop... but maybe due to same problems... And I am also using blackbox 2.1 and so far it is fantastic...

Partition structure on these phones is very fragile, one bad shutdown can corrupt one or more partitions at the same time. I'd suggest the combination of mods applied caused the kernel panic, while data was being written.
Subsequent events read like normal solution to corruption, it shouldn't happen again but best to apply framework mods one at a time.

Hmm, I don´t remember that the BlackBox 2.0.2 had any Framework...thats why I did a manual installation. But I will try the new version 2.1. Hopefully the problems may have been solved.

Interesting. So I have to apply mods one by one? Or can I add multiple mods because corruption has already been solved?
On a side note, when I boot the phone the red exclamation mark that used to appear has disappeared. Does that means that I somewhat reseted the flash counter to 0?
I have just recently tried to install the official cm11 images for my g3. They worked fine. Then, when I installed gel x-posed settings and activated it, I would get said error. It would pop up again and again. This would lead me to reflash my ROM. Then, I do not know what happened, when I would flash a ROM, I would get the error from the start. I eventually fixed this error. But then, when I tried to upgrade the nightly, I got the error again. So I flashed the ROM again, and let it sit. After a little while of perfection, the error came back up!
Here's what I have tried:
-reflashing the boot.IMG (unzipped)
-clearing cache (recovery)
-clearing Sim tool cache/data (said they were non existent when trying)
-reflashing stock, then reflashing cm11
I really want cm11 on my g3, but with these issues, I don't know whether I can now.
Any help would be appreciated!

CM Nightlies are working perfect for me with no errors. Here is the process I went through:
I am still using TWRP 2.8.0 which is the version I installed when I originally Bumped! my phone.
I downloaded CM and Gapps to root of my internal SD storage
I chose to Wipe in TWRP
I chose Advance Wipe
I picked every option except for Internal Storage and External SD Card/Storage
I then Wiped
Out of habit, I do this 3 times (don't ask why, I just do it from when I had older android devices)
I then go back to wipe main screen and slide to do the standard wipe, 3 times
Yes, this is probably overkill!
I then go to install in TWRP
I install CM, then I install gapps (using the gapps that are on this list: https://itvends.com/gapps/
Yes, the date of those gapps are a little older, but that is what worked for me per OP'S instructions
I went through setup of my phone, fixing APN, Setting WIFI to USA, signing into Google after first loading into Rom instead of signing into Google on first bootup. Did a reboot
Installed Xposed, and the modules needed, reboot
I never received any error
I have done 3 nightly updates so far, as of 11/30. I am sure 12/1 will be ready in an hour or so.
I always click on about phone, download said update and let the process do its thing automatically, walk away and the phone is ready to use
Still no errors whatsoever. In fact, this has been the first version of AOSP I have used for the G3 with 0 errors. It is perfect, for me - No issues.
Hope that helps.

I did everything exactly as you did, including the 3 wipes, also out of habit. I too however, get the same error with the latest nightly. It starts popping up as I try to add my Gmail account at the initial setup. Previously, the 'unofficial' builds did not do this to me. This is the only rom that does this, I have tried them all out. I have yet to try to flash a different gapps package to see if that makes a difference. Apparently I dont get the data issues with cm12, but get phone issues with cm11.
I'm a bit relieved to see I'm not the only one having this problem. Been updating every night to see if maybe it's fixed, but I still get the same error. Didn't happen on the first nightly I flashed, though. It lol seems to be happening at random for me. Sometimes I'll set my phone down for a couple hours, working perfectly fine. Then I pick it up to check something and I suddenly start getting that error. I've tried every "solution" I find and none of them work for me. Even thought it was an issue with reading my sim card because when I get the error, it shows that my sim card isn't being read. But I still get it when I take it out. A normal factory reset doesn't fix it either. I have to do a complete data format to remove the error.
I found a quick little fix where i make a backup earlier in the day and just restore it whenever I start getting the error, but it's still very annoying.
Same issue
Hey bros,
Same thing here. It's a baseband radio issue. Notice in settings under About Phone it says 'Baseband Version: Unknown'. Either TWRP is flashing over our baseband (not likely, calls and texts can be made before the error message attacks come), or CM11 has some issue on certain builds with reading our SIM cards. I think having an official 10B or 11C flashable baseband radio to install at the time of the ROM install will fix this problem. Waiting on CM to patch the code will take too long. Let me know if you find one of these basebands or can find out how to extract it (from file manager or somewhere?) as I have not been able to find this info on XDA or anywhere.
EDIT: I FIXED IT
I'm a new member, and XDA won't allow me to post links..... look in the OP for JasmineROM (all credit to author for posting this 11C modem and fabulous stock LG debloated ROM) under downloads, you'll find the 11C modem. Download it.
1. Place 11C modem.zip on external or internal, whichever you want. I prefer external.
In TWRP:
2. Backup, unless youre livin' life on the edge.
3. Wipe it all except for external (or internal, if you prefer to flash from your internal storage)
4. Add to Install zip que in order:
a) latest CM11 nightly
b) 11C modem found in JasmineROM OP of main thread
c) GAPPs of your choice (I like nano PA GAPPs, and just install whatever else i want after)
5. FLASH
6. profit
7. PHAP
I have heard the 10B radio works great too. holler back and post results between the 2 stock radios for VS985.
Please hit thanks, as I am new and want to be helpful, where possible. Please share this so others know that we can overcome this nonsense.
CM11!!! Phappin' so hard right now!
Got it again.... totally blowed right now. maybe reconfig APN to match VZW and it will work?
Thanks for all the responses, it currently seems that the problem is cm11. I will probably wait for a stable build. For now, I'm using an unofficial cm12 ROM. Thanks for all the help!

Are you using that PA GAPPs package that's in alpha? I think i'm going to give up and go to 12 too... I do know that the first official nightly of CM11 doesn't give me any errors, but Trebuchet is so buggy it won't take widgets. Had to download Nova
It makes me cry. My phone lasted through the night. Woke up at around 7 and it was fine. Went back to sleep and woke up at around 8:30 and I was crushed to see the problem happening again. There doesn't seem to actually be anything thy triggers it. :/
Yeah I think I'm gonna just try out cm12 and see how that goes.
Double check to make sure the phone isn't running in art. That fixed my problems! Xposed and art do not work together!![emoji2]
Im getting the same error on my phone usually a few says after using any of the nightlies. When i go to make a phone call it gives me the force close and doesnt stop. Ive since moved back to stock hoping someone had more info on the issue. My phone was not using Art but I did have xposed installed.
