What does the roaming notification mean? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hey xda I have a question I flashed cm and gapps I wipe cache/data/dalvik cache before. after the phone booted up but I had no signal. I'm not able to make calls or send txt messages. On the notification bar I get a message saying I'm roaming I called Verizon and the rep said the SIM card is dead and need a replacement. Is there Another way to restore service with out a new SIM card? I'm forced to have to Odin my phone back to stock and take it to Verizon.

You need to at least Oden back to stock and see if that helps at all, however if you just happen to have a Verizon sim sitting around you should give that a try.
What firmware are you running? What kernel?

I'm having the same issue I'm on MDK build and I flashed back to Oden. I took the phone to Verizon they replaced the sim card but no luck. Any Ideas??

yeah when i was talking to them i told them all about the problem and that i tried all the soft resets hard resets etc. and they looked at the phone imei and if i wanted to get it replaced by tmobile i'd need to ask the person i bought it from to transfer the insurances but i didn't save his number. so they said the only other option i had was to call samsung, and they did like a factory reset and it still didn't work.
i got ya just trying to help i hope you get it worked out and everything

ODIN back to stock ROM. Back up your apps using Titanium Backup, and copy that folder to your computer.
That way, when you get a new phone, you can have all the apps.
Or use ROM Manager, back up, get those files to your computer, and flash back to Stock ROM.
but idk for sure. Just trying to help.

Help! Cannot make calls or send sms

I flashed a custom ROM and after deciding I didn't like it I restored a factory stock ROM and every since all hell broke loose.
At first I had no connection of any kind whatsoever no matter what ROM or modem I flashed.
Then I dialed ##72786# and it seemed to have restored all connections.
Went to bed.
Woke up with only 3g working and nothing else. No calls and no sms.
Flashed a bunch of ROMS again including factory stock and no dice.
Spent 3 hours with Sprint Customer Service and they could not figure out why my phone cannot make calls or send sms. Kept activating and programming my phone with zero result
When making calls I would get "error 16" and the "your account could not be validated"
Please help! I am ready to sell this phone because I don't know what else to do.

I heard people having problems restoring a NANdroid from CM9. What version of CWM did you have? You tried a full odin restore? If so, try a return to stock odin restore with clear /esn checked in odin and see if that fixes it.
Update profile?

[Q] unlocked rooted i717, won't read sim

I have had this phone unlocked for several months now. It worked just fine on tmobile edge. This morning, I wanted to upgrade to 4G, and went to this forum and rooted with odin3 1.85 installed tmob stock boot, and tmob system then flashed blaze modem. No sim. Flashed uvlg3modem, no sim. Flashed all the available modems, no sim. Factory reset, no sim. emergency calls only. did have the android process.acore has stopped, but after the factory reset, went away. Went to tmob store and got a new sim. Still does not read a sim. Was working just fine until i rooted it, and flashed the modem. I have searched the forum until i'm ready to smash this phone. any help????
How long did you wait before you freaked and started flashing different modems? Do those modem files have att i717 anywhere in the file name? Flash the T-Mobile again and do not flash a radio. What happens?

After the first one didnt work, i went on and flashed all of them one at a time. the thread stated that if one didn't work, flash the others. And, no, they were all tmob. I have flashed blaze and uvlg3 twice each. I did blaze before I installed the tmob system on odin
Just flash the T-Mobile one and no radio.

how do i do that? I have the uvlg3modemfori717 zip file on the phone now. i also have vkltest, and icsblaze all zip files. do i drag it onto the phone, and flash it like before?
could i have lost my unlock? I paid for a factory unlock, $20 and sent my imie number. They sent me a code to unlock it.
Just use Odin to reflash the T-Mobile system and boot. Then let the phone start with sim in and see where you are at with a signal.

so use oden and put the tmob system in pda again? what about the stock boot? that one too?
ok did that, and still, says no sim card emergency calls only. still have the uvlg3modemfori717 zip file. did not reflash it.
I don;t know it this helps, but the phone is showing 4 bars right next to the battery, like it's picking up a signal. when i go to settings-more-mobile networks insert sim card to access network services. I have my old tmob sim and a new one they gave me yesterday.
Do you have bone of the att modem files? Try flashing the att modem file and then see if you get service again.

Unlocking is permanent.
You should test your sims in another phone - they can go bad.
You should return your phone to stock and test your verifed sim card - the sim card slot can go bad. Its a warranteed repair, but only if you have a stock rom.
tried to take it back to stock, now, it says that calendar.process has stopped, and goes through with other things until it just freezes.
Are you flashing after wiping everything in cwm? If you are having issues with things crashing, factory reset should take care of the issue.

I seemed to solve the no sim issue, however, it is running really slow, and different processes keep stopping. system process, android process, ect. I have installed the att stock files and went back to the tmob, and that still doesn't fix the issue. I can't get into the settings through the phone to do a hard reset, everything fails before i can get there. the process com.android.phone has stopped. idk what the heck is wrong with this thing. all we wanted was to get 4g. man, i really screwed this thing lol.
Ok, heres whats going on now. I have fixed the sim issue, and the process issues. I reset my phone to factory. Now this is what i have on it:
tmobile system, stock boot, and icsblaze modem. I have 5 bars, and pick up tmobile, on 4G. Factory reset and icsblaze modem were the keys. I had the uvlg3 modem but it was causing my phone to crash. So, I deleted that modem, and put on the blaze, 4G works great. Thanks for all the help.
You are welcome. Its not always an exact science. I also had issues with different modems and always had to return back to stock Tom image.

Flash Note 2 back to verizon

I am trying to purchase a verizon note 2 from a guy, but he used it in Guam on IT&E telecom. He had to change the SPC and used it solely on CDMA while there. I'm trying to get it to work back on the VZW 4g network, but can't find a great guide on getting it back....
Can anyone help point me in the right direction to get it to recognize the verizon network again? Putting a SIM in just sits at the activate screen and never activates..
Verizon checked the ESN and it is clean.
Thanks

I'm supposed to meet up with the guy later and that's what I'm going to check. If it is set to that... what is the next step?

I wish I could help you more bit that's the only thing I can think of. Me personally I would just take it to Verizon. If it has a clean esn they should be able to activate it.
By the way when you meet up, it's under settings/more settings/mobile networks/network mode.

No worries, thank you, I didn't think to check that the other day... I did take it to a corp verizon store the other day, they checked the ESN, but they no longer do in store tech support, so they couldn't reflash/whatever needed to be done. the guy just kept burning SIM cards trying to get it to activate and it wouldn't...

If it has the latest update, VRAMC3, then all you have to do is flash the Root66 or alternate recovery ROM. If that doesn't fix it I would suggest flashing Root66 with the NAND Earase checked.
If its on VRALJB or VRALL4 then you can flash the VRALJB or VRALL4 .tar's in Odin and be done with it.
You need to read Droidstyles guide in the Android Development section, it will explain everything you need to know about going back to stock, its in section 1B I believe.

As long as it is indeed a verizon note 2 flashed to another carrier then odin will get you what you want.

Have you tried a factory reset?
Or toggling the data modes?
If neither of those worki would return the phone, as it wouldn't be the sim card which only affects 4g.

This just happened to me a few days ago. I used Odin and flashed the latest image. Then I did device reset under settings. That brought it back for me. All data on the internal storage gets erased though. If all that fails, you can use one of the code in the pictures attached. That should work. Hope it helps.

You dial them as if they were phone numbers, in the dialer app. You can also copy and paste them in there (easier if no computer handy)
