I went from stock to rooted, TWRP, S-off, CM 10.2. The first time I tried it, the phone immediately required activation. So I went back to a stock rooted ROM performed the activation and then went back to CM 10.2. I tested calling, Data, and text everything worked. 2 hours later I tried to place a call and the phone wanted to be activated again. Everything I've found referring to this issue says going back to stock and activating before flashing the ROM fixes this problem. Any ideas?

So... I can't get my phone to activate on CM9 beta 0.3.3. Now, before you say anything, I have tried restoring by backup I made of stock before flashing the rom for the first time, activating, and then flashing CM9, but when I boot after flashing, the device is not activated anymore. Is there a step that I am missing, or does my phone just dislike me?
Thanks for any help in advance.
It's fixed. I restored back to stock, activated, wiped, flashed 0.3.1, checked for activation, flashed 0.3.2, check for activation, flashed 0.3.3, and it was still activated. Kind of a long process... but whatever works.
I achieved s-off using moonshine a couple of days ago.
I then proceeded to flash CyanFox CM10.2 and found it a bit more beta than what I wanted and only used it for about a day.
I then switched to NOS google play edition which I loved but came across an odd error when installing certain apps. Something along the lines of "Cannot access SD or Storage".
I then tonight decided to switch to ViperDNA as I was now looking for a desensed version of a ROM. After installation I noticed that I couldn't get a connection to Verizon and the APN info was not right. So I decided to flash the rom 2 more times with no eval.
Next I installed Carbon and found that I had the same issue but this time the AOSP (I think) setup that says "Welcome" would come back with "Could Not Activate Your Phone".
I then researched a number of things and could not get the cell service to connect.
I read that deactivating my service was the issue and that I would have to back to a stock rom. I am not to sure of this but I then flashed the Stock Rooted 2.06 ROM and then started receiving 'SIM Card Not Found' issues. My SIM card was removed and then reinserted and the device rebooted still nothing.
I then read elsewhere that flashing different radios might help but the only thing that I can across was the 1.01.04.0308 firmware which is the same that I have. I decided to fastboot and try that anyway.
So hopefully I have done enough research where you folks won't call me a noob. But help?
Thanks
So I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293919 to go s-on and back to stock and still nothing.
I then decided to set a APN and go the data working but the voice and sms doesn't. Any thoughts?
Thanks Again
Fixed
Well after I flashed RUU, I did a factory reset from the settings menu.
I think that flashed the old radios for me. I would like someone to confirm that this is what fixed it.
So...I was on CM10.2 and decided to try out Carbon. I used the latest TWRP recovery, wiped everything, and installed. I then installed the custom gapps, then got careless and installed the other .zips on the custom gapps page. I wasn't paying attention and thought they were required.
I'm S-ON so I did the fastboot flash boot boot.img from the boot.img in the Carbon zip.
ROM worked great, though, I was at home and had the wifi connected. I guess I didn't realize that the mobile data wan't working.
I noticed it yesterday at work and thought it might be a ROM problem. So, followed the process above and installed the 4.3 version of LiquidSmooth, Paranoid, and finally Revolt.
I couldn't get my mobile data to come on to save my life.
So, I just relocked it and RUU'ed with rezound_AndroidPolice_4.03.605.2_PH98IMG.zip (I had used this once before and it worked, before re-unlocking and playing with various roms)
I make it through all of the setup...still no mobile. The notifications bar *shows* three bars, but, the Mobile Network entry in Settings says "Turning on"
I've even tried a factory reset...everything on the phone works except the mobile network.
Anything else I can try?

check you sim card. i might be a goner. you can take it to vzw and they will issue a new card.
EDIT:
if you are on the stock rom could try this. pull the sim out, boot the phone. it will give you a sim error. turn off the phone and place sim back in
I had android 4.4 Omnirom on my phone earlier today and yesterday. Today there was an update for the nightly. I decided to download it and updated through the recovery as a normal update would've. However, after waiting for almost an hour for the android is upgrading prompt to go away, I figured it was stuck in a boot loop. Well it turns out it more than likely was so don't say I'm impatient :d. So I forced it to shut down and it rebooted, but it didn't get past the Omni logo for almost an hour as well. So I decided to downgrade to the previous nightly. That didn't fix anything. After that, I tried to restore to cm 10.2 but it wouldn't let me for some reason. So I figured I was screwed. I downloaded Odin and attempted to restore to the stock rom. Well, Odin failed. So I was literally desperate and out of nowhere decided to try to downgrade the kernel. I attempted a downgrade to AJK 4.9 mic swap and it worked. So I installed MIUI after that (I'm too lazy to try adb) and it loaded up fine. I was so happy that at least something worked. After that I noticed the back and search buttons were not functioning. I decided to restore to cm 10.2 and it worked. Everything SEEMS fine but I'm not too sure if everything is. Can anyone tell me if my process is correct? Or if I messed up everything
Thanks!
I had to wipe the caches after i flashed the nightly to get it to boot.
The CM nightlies didnt work for me either. Something about the build.prop in Omni calling my phone both the ATT and ST version of the phone. I did what you did. Flashed AJ 4.7 i had, rebooted the Recovery, and Nandroid restored.
I liked Omni and ill be back but that battery life right now Ugh. Good luck Entropy and Co!
I'm sure people were getting pretty tired of hearing about the radio issues when people flashed cyanogenmod (ie, LTE worked, but no SMS, MMS, or voice calls, odin didn't fix, the only solution was to factory restore from WITHIN a TW ROM). After waiting a while for things to calm down, I'm ready to try to install Cyanogenmod again but I am naturally hesitant.
Has this issued resolved itself? I'm running rooted and unlocked MC3 with CWM installed. I heard somewhere that flashing the MJ9 radio BEFORE Cyanogenmod 10.2 / 11 fixed the problem?
I would really appreciate any input or personal experience here!
As far as I know, the issue has not resolved itself. I tried flashing the newest CM 11 a couple of days ago (I think it was the nightly build on the 22nd), and I still had the funky radio issues. However, I tried this, and it fixed all the radio issues with CM 11 (and any other Android 4.4 ROMS - I'm running Slim ROM at the moment)... Here is my post from another thread.
Hey all, I got it working (the data/network connection that is), with a little effort. Here is what I did in sequence...
1) Reflash the ORIGINAL VRALJB image via ODIN. I used the one found here. You want to make sure you get the one that replaces EVERYTHING, i.e., NOT the alternative restore.
2) I set up my phone and used it normally for about four hours. (This may or may not be necessary, I'm not entirely sure. I also rebooted the phone about five times during that time frame.)
3) I unlocked and rooted the phone via the method outlined here. After that was done, I installed CWM 6.0.4.3 via TWRP (which the unlocking process installs).
4) I then installed CM 11 and the respective Google apps. (I first did a backup, then a factory reset, then cache wipe, then dalvik wipe. The next thing I did was install CM 11, then Gapps.)
5) Restart the phone and success!

The reason why I found out that this method would work, is that I tried installing CM 11 on my dad's phone. He has had a TW ROM (Beans build to be exact) since the phone came out. And he has been running the stock VRALJB radio. With that said, I figured I would try flashing the stock ODIN files to restore my phone back to the VRALJB. (I think I was running the MJ9 prior to this) That worked, and the SlimROM has been working perfectly ever since!
[Also, if you wanted to check out SlimROM, you can find a link to it here.]
Still looking for some more feedback from users! Anyone successfully flashed CM 10.2 / CM 11 from MC3 without problems / fixed the problems?
