I am wondering if I run an RUU back to stock. Will I revert it back to Verizon I mean if it changes the baseband and radio and puts stock firmware on it then in theory would that not work? I just don't want cricket I am a Verizon user.
You've got the right idea. My understanding is that after RUUing back to stock, you'd need to do a factory reset from the bootloader, preferably with a Verizon SIM already inserted. Note that I haven't done this myself, just read on these forums of others who have.

I ran the ruu and did the wipe data in recovery as reventech suggested and then went into bootloader and factory reset. The only sim I have is an old one and I am not sure if it works, The only one I have is my mini sim other than that for my DNA and now when I dial 611 I get call has been lost out of service., I use to get cricket. However, I deal with lots of phones and with any verizon phone it normally goes to verizon dialing that now it wont call any numbers just drops calls. Any ideas?

after thee ruu.exe did you let it activate via verizon....which requires an active verizon sim to be in
that's what I did wrong!

I actually ended up selling to a friend and he wanted cricket so I quit screwing with it. What I did not do was put an active verizon sim in I only had a micro!

I flashed the ED05 stock package posted in the dev forum. Everything went well with the flash but when I rebooted, the phone went to VZW for activation and now I have no access to data network. Any ideas how to fix this?

I took a look through the forums and didn't see anyone else lose 3g with this package. Try a *228 and if that doesn't work, flash a different radio (ED04 or EC09) and try to *228 again. Can you make or receive calls/texts?
Worse comes to worse, reflash the ED05 package or flash a different ROM/stock package.
I had that happen once did a few reboots and started working all on its own. It was not with ed05 though.
If you flashed the ED05 with the SamsungPST and you lost data service you have two options (both verified to work)...
1. Login to My Verizon and swap your phone number to some other phone, activate it (*228) and then swap it back to your Fascinate.
2. Call Verizon and tell them you are not getting any data (but voice works ok) and that you would like your keys reset.
I have the same problem, ill try calling verizon tomorrow :s
I've actually tried different things now:
Connected to wifi, if I go into my verizon it says:
Your Mobile Number could not be validated, Please try again later.
When I try calling verizon, it says that my phone is not authorised.
When I dial *228 it unlocks successfully the phone, reboots, and then nothing!!
Help ??
Also I have tried going back to older versions, trying different roms but no data no where
Listen to pentafive. He's posted how to repair. Worked for me.
Update... It looks like you don't even need to *228 the other phone. Just get an ESN/MEID of some other VzW smartphone (that isn't currently activated), swap it on MyVerizon and then swap it back to the Fascinate. Then *228 your Fascinate.
Ok I called them and it worked, thanks everyone .
It was my first verizon phone so I could not try with another one.
Does anyone know why this happened ? To avoid it happening again ?
I am having the same issue. I have voice but no data. I don't have another Verizon smartphone to swap and the tech-support didn't know what "resetting the keys" meant. I am getting a replacement but I'd still like to know how to get this fixed in case it happens again. Thanks.

I recomend using odin instead of samsung pst! If you insist on using pst look up the official vzw stock ed05 thread in the dev section by pentafive. He has directions on how to keep from losing data when using pst.
I had the same proplem. No Data. I call verizon they had me pull batt waite five min replace batt reboot and i got my data working again.
Works
After asking if Tech Support could reset the "keys" for my phone, which they had no idea what that was, I asked if they could activate a different phone on my account then reactivate mine. He told me that would fix the problem if it was a network level problem (which it was.) He ended up resetting the data connection on the line and after a reboot my 3G was back. So, if Tech Support has no idea what "resetting the keys" means have them reset your data because the problem is a network level problem, not a phone level problem.
Also I used Odin and still got the lost data connectivity, so keep that in mind.
My co-workers phone service got cut off recently, and after it was re-connected, she lost 4G. I had her on Synergy 255 and had the latest radios I found which was CDMA: 1.48.00.0906 LTE: 0.01.78.0906. Even when I updated her to Synergy 262, the problem persisted.
Anyone know what might have happened, I know the recent OTA update for gingerbread has been giving people problems, is it possible the OTA update problem also affected her phone since she was already in gingerbread?
I just put BAMF Forever 1.0.7 on her phone, and it's still only able to connect to 3G, is the problem on verizon's side?
Check your settings in say an app like LTE on/off make sure she is in LTE mode or cdma/LTE

tried to put her on LTE mode only a few time before, and she can only get 1x speed.
Unroot it, return to stock with the full RUU and see if its busted. If it is you probably have a bad radio in the phone...I had to send my first TB back a week after I got it for this reason.....
Customer service was very helpful believe it or not, just make sure you tell them you have already done a hard reset on the phone, done the OTA's and 4G still doesn't work. The will ask you your build number, etc. to make sure it matches what's "in the system".
So just return to unrooted Froyo, do any and all upgrades to get it current, if it still doesn't work you should be able to get a new phone.

I'm hoping I don't have to go there, but it seems I'm not the only one with the problem, since I found some people with similar dilemma on the radio thread.

Sim card
Another idea is that the sim card is dead.
Verizon 4G sim cards can't be reactivated once their deactivated, this happens when you try activate a 3G phone on verizon from a 4G phone, the sim will be dead in 24 hours, I'm guessing the problem may be the same here, once the SIM was disconnected in the system, it can't be reactivated.
Unfortunately to get a new sim, you'll still have to return to unrooted stock to get support from Verizon, but I expect the phone itself is just fine.
Verizon employees are still somewhat inexperienced dealing with these 4G sim cards from what I've seen in stores, so they may have failed to account for that when they reactivated the service.
That seems more likely to me than the phone just happened to break when the service was disconnected.
Did you ever try just flashing another radio? It's worth a try. I would try flashing the radios from the 1.70.605.0 build.

You we're exact on the mark about the sim registration. I told her to replace the sim. And sure enough it worked after it was activated. Glad I didn't I have to resort to going stock and unrooting... She probably would've beat me up...

I've had my Atrix 4g for about 10 days, never rooted or bootunlocked or anything like that, it's still 100% retail from AT&T. I've just made phone calls and fiddled with a few apps.
Today I had the bright idea to plug my old tmobile sim card into it thinking it'd boot right up and I could go into the settings and copy off some of my old contact numbers, I could always do it on older less than smartphones. Well it came up asking for a Sim network Unlock PIN. I didn't know what that was so I just took it out and put my old AT&T sim back into the phone, thinking it was just a failed endevour and that I would just go on about my business like it had never happened.
Well upon booting with the activated sim card the phone came with and the one I've been using... Much to my dismay, it's STILL asking for a Sim network Unlock PIN, I haven't the slightest idea what that is and I can't get past it unless I boot the phone up with no BP, then I can get into android and fiddle around on my wifi and do that kinda stuff but the Network Provider bars won't light up, it's like it has no idea who my cell provider is even though the at&t sim card is in it!
I'm at a loss, I called AT&T and I went into their store, but the most they could do for me was give me an 8 digit pin that didn't work and I found something on motorola's site that said something like 4digits of 1's and that doesn't unlock it either. They even gave me a new sim card at the store, and it's still asking for the Sim Network Unlock PIN. It's as if MOTOBlur has went ass up I did a factory reset after the new sim card, and yet it's still asking. I haven't the slightest idea what to do. AT&T said they'd just replace the phone and of course I'd probably be out of a phone for a couple weeks.
I'd be glad to try some troubleshooting if someone is willing to work with me.
Matt
bring your phone to a local at&t store and ask for a replacement.
Luckily they dont' have any in stock as they only have the atrix 2 in stock nowadays, so once again without for a couple weeks
Ya, I didn't think anyone would be able to help me here, other posts relating to this topic have gone unsolved as well worth a shot I guess.
It was posted elsewhere flashing a different carriers radio and then unlocking worked. Then the user was able to flash the newest radio for his carrier.

I would love to flash, but I don't suppose I'd get another try if I accidentally flashed the wrong file...
I just wish I could flash it back to the way it was when it first came out of the AT&T box the other day...
I found someone who had a tmobile account and had them call for me using my imei number and they've requested an unlock code from motorola, so I'm going to wait for that and see what happens...
I still feel like there should be some kind of way to flash back to an original firmware someone might be able to copy off from an out of the box at&t atrix.
Are you sure you're not looking at the Motoblur account login?
positive, says Input Sim Network PIN and it stays resident regardless what sim is inserted.
It is kind of funny how the factory reset doesn't actually reset it back to factory conditions

All factory reset does is wipe the data partition, which would put it back in a "factory like" state.
i bought a new DNA from soemone. he used it once hated it so he sold it to me. i am still on a 3g phone. and i had a 4g sim card that was able to get activated. BUT, i could not ever get my DNA fully activated. it never would show my phone number on the about screen. it was all zeros. after about 2 hours with tech support, 2 sim cards (that i had already), 2 factory resets they are trying one more thing, shipping me a new sim card. they dont think it is a hardware issue since i do get a 3g signal, i can recieve data but cannot make calls nor get them...another strange thing is i can get texts but cant send them. the techs (2 different ones) think it is somehting with the "system"
the ONLY thing i never told them was right when i got the phone, i used moonshine to get s-off and installed a custom rom....would unlocking teh bootloader etc BEFORE i activated the phone cause this? jsut to be safe i restored to 100 stock LOCKED so when i get my new sim i will be able to try from scratch
anyone else ever have this issue? i wish i would of activated it the say i got it when it was 100% stock..
thank you
Moonshine should have no affect of activating your phone.

Are you on a custom rom? I have had problems on other phones if I was running a custom ROM and then switched sims - the new sim/phone number wouldn't activate.

I have had issues activating a phone that was rooted with Verizon- Verizon could not activate my phone until I went back to stock and un-rooted
I have a strange problem. I bought a Verizon LG G3 from someone and I put my att straight talk sim card in it after verifying with verizon that the imei is clean. It works fine until you restart it then it has no service. It will still have global selected as well as the apn setting I entered. If I make it manually search for networks AT&T shows up but when I click on it to register it to ATT service after a long delay it says it cannot. Also if I select cdma there is no verizon signal either which it had before. If I factory reset it, it will work once more until I power it off and restart it. I've tried clearing the cache partition as well as updating from kitkat to lollipop. Same problem. I have it set up the way I like it now and really don't want to factory reset everytime my battery goes dead. Any ideas??? Thanks in advance, Mike
Another thing I noticed is there is a sim card icon at the top with a ? in it. It is there even when the phone is working.

Get a straight talk verizon sim that way it works perfectly and you will get 4G LTE.
They sell kits at walmart just make sure you get the CDMA 4GLTE kit
Verizon doesn't have good service here. The phone also doesnt show verizon signal anymore like it used to.

Straight talkvzw is the best in my opinoin but if you must have ST Att then I suggest trying a different sim. You have to use a 4G SIM in it so if you don't have a 4g Att SIM it won't work. After you get the SIM make sure you activate it then switch to gsm mode under mobile network settings. Then download the straight talk data settings app from the play store and follow the instructions.
GSM mode: settings/ tethering and networks/ mobile network / network type : global>gsm
