Hey guys! So I moonshined and got S-OFF on my phone. I first backed up my factory ROM after I wiped all the data so I would have it to go back to in the future if needed, this was done through clockwork mod. So I first tried using the NOS M7 ROM, didn't like that as the home screen seemed too Window's 8 phone like to me. I then tried the CyanogenMod 10.1, I noticed that my phone was only getting 3G data at this point. I was using my wife's new Galaxy S4 that was getting 4G as a comparison to mine. We were traveling through town so it's not a tower based issue, as her phone showed 4G.
I then tried to switch to viperDNA1.3.1 and I had all sort of issues with it. Heck this morning it would not even show me my alarm notification when it was going off to shut the phone up. I had to power it off to silence it. It even stopped showing the notification bar on the top of the screen and I couldn't even do the drag down thing to see notifications and settings.
So today at work I downloaded RageDNA to see if an optimized stock app would work for me, no change..... I even formatted my sdcard to blank it and the did an adb push to transfer the ROM.zip back to my phone.
SO.... between each app I would launch into ClockWorkMod and 1. wipe dalvik cache. 2. format system. 3. wipe data/factory reset. 4. choose the zip from the sdcard (haha like we really have a true sdcard) and wait for the install and then launch into the phone and do the basic setup to get the ROM working.
HELP!!!! (me crying) I am afraid I did something to my phone during the flashing that jacked up the radio causing 4G to be broken. Is there something else you need to know from me to help me out, please let me know!
**********UPDATE**********
I double checked all my phones settings with a coworker who also has a DNA, but still S-ON. Everything is setup the same for settings on the APN's. I even recreated a duplicate APN that used the specified "LTE" network instead of the one that was defaulted on both of ours "unspecified". No change, even rebooted.
I also restored my CWM backup I did before making any changes to my phone via switching ROM's. The only difference is the fact that their network typeshows "LTE" where my shows "eHRPD". I am going to look into seeing how to reflash the radio to see if something got corrupt.
If it comes down to it I am going to reset my phone back to S-ON and reflash everything that I can find that I can do.
*********Resolution*********
After reflashing my radio, I did not get any 4G signal any more, I know Verizon towers were down for 4G near my work so not sure if they moved over to the towers by my home as I only live 10 minutes from work. So only after being at work for about an hour my 4G signal started on it's own without anything done by me today.
So as I was on the path to trying to take it back to stock I followed the guide that Phaded posted for getting back to S-ON http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293919. I had a few issues with that, as it turns out my phone was not showing anything about being "LOCKED" after running his first set of commands. So I pressed forward after talking with Phaded on this situation. I had even flashed from my CWM recovery back to the stock recovery (also notice when running the RUU that it flashes the recovery.) I ran the RUU and then got the 158 error then had to flash the HBOOT. After that flash the phone showed "***Tampered*** & ***LOCKED***". I then proceeded to run the RUU and it completed at that point with no issues. Then the last few DOS commands for fastboot and back to Locked and S-On. I updated back from 1.15 up through 2.06. Also doing so that made me realize you have to step from 1.15 to 2.04 and finally 2.06. So far the 4G is still working. I will keep it stock for a few days to ensure no further 4G issues then I will be moonshining again!!
Just a guess, you may have to flash the boot image. If so the directions are in the install directions for Viper

I just tried to restore my CWM files from prior to any ROM changes. So far I have 3G data, but I tend to get 3G more so at my house than 4G, so not sure if anything will change.
I am wondering if the SIM card could have anything to do with this issue as well.... could a ROM have written to the card and caused it to not read the 4G data, or whatever is on there.
I also see that my phone's network seems to be "eHRPD" not sure if this had anything to do with it or not.
I double checked all my phones settings with a coworker who also has a DNA, but still S-ON. Everything is setup the same for settings on the APN's.

U need a new SIM card. 99% sure that's ur problem. They r free from any Verizon store. Give it a shot before u go thru the hassle of going back to s on and stock.

if you download from the play store this app (its free) https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEwOSwibmV0LmFuZGlyYy5sdGVvbmZvZmYiXQ.. open it and scroll down what does it say under set preferred network type? that screen has more crucial settings then the normal one. if you running viper in viper tweaks its the first option under misc. If you need help ill put up a pick when i get back. someones borrowing mine cause they stepped on their phone lol.
EDIT: also if you are running viper 1.3.1 you should download ind flash after the normal rom the ota update(the one that says 1.3.1 to 1.3.3.

Too funny that you pointed me to that app, I just found another one LTE Settings.
So I tried your app also and they had the exact same data listed. So here's the screen shots I took from my app I pointed to. My phone will connect to 4G only and only if I choose "LTE only" if I move it to something else either by changing it through the OS settings, or changing it through this app, it goes back to getting 3G service. So at least this tells me my phone isn't broken, just some setting is F***ed up somewhere.
I have tried Global and CDMA/LTE settings with it always showing 3G.
yup that's freaking weird lol swing by a VZW store and get a free sim card since yours seems like it might be messed up what happnes if you flash something like crpalmers kernel though? your boot image might just be all screwed up. his latest version is June 24th.

Yeah weird! I just used the DNA Toolkit v1.0.5, I flashed the 2.06 radio and after it rebooted and what not, I went outside (as I have bad service inside this house) and now 4G won't even connect. Not sure if it's the towers, as the one by work went out around noon today.
So as it's a kernal and not a ROM how do I do that, just the same install from zip file in CWM? Do I need any certain ROM for it? As right now I have the factory one that I backed up with CWM when I did S-OFF. (it was a blank fresh factory reset)

if your using viper it supports only 2.04 as a base for its radios i believe. like I said try flashing crpalmer's one this one http://d-h.st/hu7
OH also yeah your towers by you could be experiencing maintenance try driving to somewhere else id say at least a mile away.

I flashed palmer's and no change. I just texted a coworker who lives about .25 miles away to see if he's getting 4G.
Again right now I'm on the factory ROM.

does the factory restore work like your cwm one i mean?
Click on Mobile Data in your settings, and make your 'preferred' network LTE/CDMA.
I had the very same error with the stock phone, and once I switched it - I started getting 4G almost everywhere.

I don't think you would notice the change instantly. You will see in a few hours, especially if you go somewhere, you will be getting 4G - or if you restart the phone.
Further, what you can do is flash the radio.
Here's the file you need to flash: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9yd_oFytDSzUjRpLTZhSFEwWnc/edit
That is a Verizon radio, and it works also with other providers.
Use fastboot to flash:
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img

When I was at work, I compared a coworkers DNA and he was getting actual LTE signal. So don't think it's that with the eHRDP thing that I keep seeing. But yeah it looks like a "cheaters way" to get their CDMA hardware to work with LTE. lol
Sorry, I feel like a tard and not really following what you are talking about with the "factory" thing. If you mean in the hboot the factory restore, it takes you to the CWM recovery to do that factory restore. Plus the ROM restore seems to almost go through CWM as well, but does it automatically. I'm going to do a full wipe and set this thing back to factory settings. As when it's broke and not working, best thing to do is start fresh.

okay if you do it from hboot it wont do anything cause now cwm will stop that from running but that is the same as running factory reset in cwm, thats not what im talking about though when you first moonshined then booted cwm after getting it, did you run a backup of your factory(stock) ROM? if so it would be in sdcard/clockworkmod/backups it also would have been about 1.5-2GB's. you could also try the radio.img amer is taking about as well, that you need to flash with adb though in fastboot as he stated.

After I noticed my 4G issue, I restore my CWM backup. Yes the CWM backup is what I restored and I am running from right now. It's size is 1.39GB in size.
I will do the radio flash right now.
Not sure which forum this should be in so i'm asking it here. Apparently, I can't activate my new sim card for the 4G unless i'm stock, unrooted, locked bootloader. I guess I jumped the gun after I got my phone, but before I got the sim card and rooted, unlocked, etc. I think I know the steps to take to get it back to compltely stock, but I want to make sure.
I think I need to run the script and relock the bootloader, then flash the stock RUU file.
Is that correct? Is that the correct order? Am I missing any steps?
Thanks a bunch for any speedy repsonses because i'm in a bind right now and have to get this resolved by morning.

I'm pretty sure being unrooted is not a requirement. Just install this ROM and boot the phone with your SIM inserted. It should activate fine.
OK. I will try that because I am having a heck of a time getting activated on my CM rom. Even had a Verizon tech trying to help me for over an hour.
I see that ROM requires me to flash a new boot.img. When I rooted, the directions said to flash dirtyracuns Hboot. Will flashing this one effect anything? If I change ROMs, do I need to flash DR hboot again?
Thanks for the info...

Boot and HBoot are two very different things. Flashing different boot images will not affect your engineered hboot.
You definitely don't want to talk to vzw reps if you're running cm. The more tech support requests they get from users running non-official builds, the less likely they will be to ever allow phones with unlocked bootloaders on their system.
Turns out my problem was from a borked radio. Being new to this, I didn't even know that could happen. Saw mention of it in another thread when I was just browsing around. Thought maybe that might be my problem so I followed the directions for fixing a borked radio and got connected right away. Boy this forum is helpful. Thank you.
BTW, what is the best network setting to use if I am in the US only, Global, LTE\CDMA or GSM\UMTS?

I am having a similar activation problem. What did you do to fix the radio? My problem started a few days ago.
I found the RUU for just the radio and applied it. No change. I get a LTE signal but the phone doesn't know it's own number and thinks it is roaming.
I followed the steps in this thread to restore my radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45476579#post45476579
Unfortunately, I never was able to get the radio to work with any of the CM based ROMs so I have ended up using a stock based ROM. ViperLTE. It is an excellent ROM and works great, but I got the phone recently so that I could run CM ROMs. Had I known I was going to have so many problems, I would have waited until February when my upgrade date came up and got one of the newer phones. I guess I still can, but I'd hate to waste the money I paid for this phone so soon.
sim issue
Turns out my SIM was actually bad. When you looked in the about, the SIM id number didn't show up. It had worked under 10.2 stable for several weeks before it stopped working. It had gotten worse over a week or so. At first a reboot would fix it. I did a clean flash of CM 11 at this point. After replacing the SIM the id number showed up but still couldn't make calls.
The problem went away after restoring a CM 10.2 back that had worked. I then did a dirty flash of CM 11 over it, with the kit kat gapps. It all worked out fine. I am speculating that a clean flash of CM 11, might not work.
Like a dummy I think I deleted something I wasnt suppose to. I tried flashing artmod using philztouh recovery (latest). when I went to flash artmod it was giving me a status 7 installation fail and was talking about needing 5 args but only having 4. so I went back to the mounts/storage and started formating everything except the sdcard and sns but I formated /firmware and tried formatting /persist. Now my phone only boots a few roms IE>...CM 11 M4 and Mokee but the wifi is not turning on at all and there are no sim apn's....I cant use mobile data or wifi whatsoever...I have tried manually entering any apn's I can find to no avail. I should of never used philztouch when I have no idea what formatting /firmware would of actually done to the device....Im guessing I need to return to stock using LGPNT (which is another thing I hope the file itself isnt huge b/c I have a ****ty ass wifi connection that im pulling from air)...I have done just about everything I can possibly think about doing to include trying to restore TWRP roms I had previously back-uped.....Just sat on the vanir boot screen carbon rom doesnt boot whatsoever either nor do PACMan....Im now back with TWRP with efs/sdcard/KK support. I havent changed radios or anything....Can someone please give me a hand so I dont have anice shiny brick

I think that just means you have the mako bootloader. Mine says the same thing and I've never converted.
Have you tried restoring your efs partitions? You can if you have an old TWRP backup, or freegee, or they might be sitting on your sdcard.
Maybe flash the at&t jb radio after restoring efs.

since 2 weeks ago, my phones data would cut off randomly and change between having 2-3 bars to 4-5 bars. having full bars gave me no data, while having 2-3 bars did. its very annoying, and i don't know what to do. ive also notice when having more then 3 bars on the signal icon, while trying to transfer data, the arch's that appear showing that its sending signal on the 4glte icon would act funny, and not completely present all 3 arch's before switching sides. HELP!!!

Have you tried a full factory reset? What build of software are you using?
my software number is 1.12.502.18. I have not done a hard reset yet. what should i do to prepare so that I can get back all my apps and pictures and stuff after they are deleted?
Connect to computer,copy pics,music etc to folder on computer,google playstore will have all your apps available for download. You should be able to flash stock recovery and a twrp backup of current stock rom and then update phone via ruu's available,1.12 i think is a very old build as for att device there is a 2.23.502.3 ruu

you lost me so i flash stock recovery but im not sure what you want me to do after that. more like im not sure how to do that.
Search forum for 2.23.502.3 ruu or flashable zip(If you have a sdcard). Copy all your pics,music you want to save to computer. Reboot the phone after this is done connect it via fastboot usb in bootloader to computer,run the ruu.exe

i cant seem to fully flash to stock recovery. i flashed to stock, tried to update since i still have 4.2 but when rebooting it went straight to twrp. i figured it worked because i wasn't even able to search any updates before i tried going back to stock.
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img is the command from bootloader
i get a failed image error bootmagic check failed when i try to flash to stock.

i flashed the lastest version for my cid which is cws__001 which is 1.58.502.1 . and it seemed to work, but when i checked the software version i still have 1.12.502.18. i also checked for lastest updates and it said im up to date.
Have to flash the firmware as well for that build,as i said you should be able to run the att 2.23.502.3 ruu.exe file thats posted,that will put you up to 4.4.3 and make you ready for the official 4.4.4 due to be released 12/15
If my Droid Incredible 4G LTE is connected to Wifi, it disconnects from Cellular Data. When I leave where ever it is connected to WifI, it won't connect back to cellular data. I have to turn off Wifi, then reboot the phone. I haven't tried something like switching to Airplane mode, I will try that. Has anybody else seen this issue? The phone is on Straight Talk Veriozon network, so is using SIM card for 4G LTE and CDMA for voice.
Are you stock?
No. Probably would help to mention that. S-OFF, partitions swapped and rooted CM 1.2.1 FWIW, this was happening with CM 11.2 before the partition swap. It wasn't happening before I did S-OFF and flashed CM 11.2 but I was also living in a different location for several months. It didn't start until I moved to where I am now.
I would try to do a clean reflash and see what happens.
I will think about that but I did a clean install when I did the partition swap and flashed the new ROM. I'd rather not do that again and have to set the phone back up again.
Today it seems to be better, I moved from Wifi to out and about and it switched to LTE properly.

I may have to try the reflash after all. The problem's gotten worse and now as of yesterday and today a reboot of the phone isn't getting me cellular data back. This did not start until we moved to a temporary place where I get voice service but not data at home. So the phone spends a lot of time on Wifi and not in a place where it can get data. So I'm wondering if the Verizon network is somehow forgetting about the phone or somesuch. At my old house, it was connected to Wifi but the data network was always available. The phone is S-Off with a custom bootloader and recovery. Assuming I wanted to try, can I put the stock ROM back on it without undoing all that?

If you want to go to stock, you will have to reverse the partition swap.

That part I understand. What I should have asked was "if I want to go back to the stock ROM, do I need to undo the custom recovery, relock the bootloader, go S-ON, etc? Any other ROMS besides CM I might try? That could tell me if it is the ROM or not but, again I did not have this issue until I moved to an area where I can get voice, but no data.
You should be able to remain s-off. here are the stock packages if you don't have them, http://android.cmphys.com/stock-fireball/

Thanks. I will grab a stock ROM. I really like CM 12.1 (and the swapped partitions) though. I was able to get the phone back to cellular data this morning while I was on a chat with Straight Talk. Why a reboot worked then but not the 3 other times I have no idea. I'm also wondering what happens the next time this happens if I go into APN settings and change it to one that doesn't work, then change it back.
Over looking at the stock ROM downloads I see a link to this patch:
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/93484/
The ROM I am running now was built on 05/26. I see a newer CM 12.1 ROM dated 06/12 that contains that patch so I will flash that ROM, probably next week. I'm on call this weekend and don't want to risk bricking the phone.
I'm running the 6/12 build and it seems happy. I only run my Fireball on WIFI since I switched to AT&T and have a Nexus 5 for my primary.

Ive thought about getting a new phone on a GSM network but where we are building our house I can't get a ATT signal there, so I'm stuck with Verizon.
