I gave my Father my verizon Thunderbolt--he is using Page Plus for his service, so we needed to flash his phone.
It appears to be successfully flashed using CDMA and QPST, as far as I can tell. Phone does not have a SIM Card inside.
SMS-works GREAT. Receiving and sending texts just fine.
MMS- Not working. Not sure why.
Data-not even concerned. My father is not interested in the internet or anything else but calls and texts for that matter.
Calls-NOT WORKING! This has become such a thorn for me. When I go to make an outgoing call, it "freezes" in the dialing stage. When I try to call the thunderbolt, it gets a fast paced busy signal.
I've redone the flash several times, not sure what the problem is. I'm thinking it needs any generic SIM present to make calls--am I correct on that?
Thanks!
I had this same issue. How did you acquire your donor phone's info?
Just wanted to update--fixed the problem.
Put a T Mobile SIM card in, and it works PERFECTLY. The lock screen does state that it needs a SIM card, but when swiped unlocked, it works fine. Totally worth it!
Flashed HTC Thunderbolt
I have the HTC thunderbolt flashed to PagePlus with full talk, text, mms and 3G data using CDMA, QPST and DFS. And without using a donor. Also used a T-mobile non-activated sim card.
When I flashed the ThunderStick rom to my thunderbolt I no longer needed the sim card and got rid of the sim card message on the lock screen.

Thought I would never hear from you again. Text only @347.946.1477
is it possible to have a phone flashed badly or wrong? My Samsung Galaxy S4 was originally a U.S Cellular device, but was flashed to Verizon Prepaid. I basically have NO 3G. If and when the icon pops up, the minute I try to search or do anything it disappears.
My phone calls are fine, but my data is averaging 1X to nothing at all. Sometimes I cant even get a picture message out. I is driving me nuts, Especially when your paying for a service you cant use.
Was it possible that it was flashed wrong or bad? or is this something else. I have been trying to get it taken care o by Cricket King (ebay) but I think they think its on my end.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Should I have it re flashed
Hmmm....I'm not a developer, but I do troubleshoot. Are you using Verizon SIM card? I believe once it's active and inserted you should have full functionality.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
I'm no Dev either, but did you set up the APN settings right? I would assume since it was flashed to a different network you would need to set it back up to work on the Verizon network. As for what those settings are I'm not sure. I've always been on Verizon and haven't had to mess with that stuff

Usually it ends up just being the APN's or the sim card. Since these phones are already unlocked it doesn't take much to get them going on another network

Well the guy who flashed it said he would probably have to change the PRL? Does this sound right?
NOTE** I am not using a SIM card (I don't believe ) Does this sound right? It was originally set up for U.S Cellular, bit was flashed to Verizon prepaid

Well I don't know about the PRL much myself. I know my sprint s4 needed the prl updated from time to time but that's sprint.
And your sure your not using a sim? I'll be honest I'm not really sure about switching carriers and all that. Just from what I've read on here I've seen many people do it fairly easy.

You must be using a SIM card because both U.S Cellular and Verizon need a SIM card. But to update the PRL type in your phone *228 and it should come up with a message saying it has been updated. Even though 4GLTE devices automatically update. Also, I would go into Settings, Connections, More networks, Mobile networks, Access Point Names, and make sure there is a green dot next to Verizon.
I plan on getting an M8 and ditching my iPhone 5S, but i've read various posts about mms not working on the M8 with straight talk. I was wondering if anyone had a working solution, because the ones I saw on here worked for a few people but not everyone. I'm not opposed to rom flashing, s-off ect... Thanks for reading

If the user has selected the "AT&T SIM" on Straight Talk, it uses the AT&T network, and does not require SIM unlock.
If the user selected the T-Mobile SIM, the phone functions (voice call, SMS, as well as cell data) wouldn't work either without SIM unlock.
The fact that only MMS is the problem, indicates the issue is with the APN.
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.

After updating to lollipop it wont even register on the att network after a factory reset. I flaahed back to 4.4.2 with lg flashtools and still nothing. Also rooted and then installed snapdragon rom and no luck either. Any ideas anyone?

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
I want to use my old S4 on Cricket wireless since I'm leaving verizon. I was wondering if this phone would work if I just popped my Cricket Sim in and if not what would I have to do to get it to work with LTE data SMS mms and calls. Thanks in advance!

Call Verizon, if your Verizon contract has been fulfilled, and if the imei is clean they can unlock it.

Thanks for the advice. Turns out it's actually already unlocked. I put in a T-Mobile Sim and it changed the apn automatically.
