[Q] Can't Make Calls, But Have 4G LTE Data - HTC Droid DNA

Here's my story: About a year and a half ago, I used my phone upgrade on a Droid DNA, but swapped back to my old flip phone to avoid having to pay $30 for Data and just keep the phone for the Wi-Fi access and other epicness. About a year ago, I decided to try out beaups' Moonshine s-off so I could start putting custom ROMs on it. Unfortuately with my luck (probably bumped the cable) it failed halfway through the moonshining process and made my phone really glitchy with force closes (and deleted all my data, but meh..). Fortunately, I went to the Moonshine IRC and they were so Awesome! They helped me troubleshoot my issue, guided me though making an Ubuntu Live CD, and used TeamViewer to get my phone back in working order. I will always be extremely grateful for their help!
Fast forward to today: I finally decide I want to go for the data plan, so I call up Verizon and go through the process of getting the phone service back on my Droid DNA. Unfortunately, after the whole process, the phone won't make any outgoing calls or receive any incoming calls. However, I still had 3-4 signal bars and I could surf the internet on '4G LTE'. I figured the ROM I had installed was no good, so I tried out 3 other ROMs and all of them had the same issue. I decided I would restore the phone to my first TWRP backup (from right after we solved the Moonshining issue), however even that gave me the same results.
TL;DR - I am rooted with s-off. I cannot make outgoing calls or receive incoming calls, however strangely enough I have 4G Data.
Under 'Phone Identity' in the settings, the Model Number, IMEI, Device serial number, SIM ID, MEID, and IMSI numbers all show up. But the Phone number only shows "0000000000".
I assume that the issue was always there after I had done the moonshining, but never encountered it until I decided to actually use it as a phone.
I'm not sure what I should try from here. Any help or assistance you can give me is greatly appreciated, and Thank you!

I would call Verizon. Sounds like something on their end. Have them reset your network. Try to take out the sim and reinsert.
HTC DNA
LG Optimus G

Unfortunately, that's not it. I went through the whole process of getting the phone service back on my Droid DNA up to level 2 support.

Sounds like the radio is messed up. 4G is data only, the partition for voice and sms is 1xRTT or EVDO. Back everything up to your PC and run an ruu, then after the ruu completes, run "factory data reset" from bootloader. That should hopefully fix your radio issue.
Be warned! Ruu will erase everything on your phone and return it to stock (you will keep unlock and s-off though, so you can flash custom recovery and flash your Rom again). You could try to restore your nandroid, but it may screw up your radio again.

Sorry for the delay. I actually hadn't tried an RUU yet, so I got the '3.06.605.4' Sense 5 one from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612740 and tried running it on my Windows 7.
Unfortunately it didn't work and gave me a message saying:
"ERROR [158]: IMAGE ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again."
I actually think the drivers may be messed up on that computer (adb and HTC Sync won't see the phone connected, but sometimes I can transfer files). I have a new windows 7 computer that I've never used before, but I can't seem to find the right drivers/tools that I would need for the RUU to work properly this time. Would you happen to have links to them, per chance?

Be connected to activestink.
(even if your device only boots to the windows splash screen activestink can still connect enough to load this 1.2 bootloader)
Run TitanUnlocker.exe from first folder
FOLOW THE ON SCREEN DIRECTIONS EXACTLY
INCLUDING THE UNPLUGING AND PLUGING BACK IN PART
Be patient and be sure that it is complete.
Then without disconecting, or restarting your device
go to the second directory and folow these directions...
While stil in bootloader mode run ROMUpdateUtility.exe
Follow the onsreen directions.
When your device boots up - LET THE VERIZON CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN.
Enjoy being back on Verizons service.
Now go load whatever roms you feel comfortable running.....
You may need a different bootloader for some roms.

I let the customizations run after loading the SPRINT 3.35 Rom updater on my XC6800, I don't think the problem was loading the rom, but letting the damned sprint customizations install instead of a quick reset.
*
I have tried a hell of a lot to resolve this and am convinced that at this point it is going to take a verizon stock rom - the whole thing - to start from scratch and get back from the evil grips of those sprint towers (you sprinters would think the same if in our shoes)...
*
Unfortunately I have not found everything to piece together an entire orig vz rom.
*
The first bad thing that the sprint customizations does is resets the MSL, so now instead of using 000000 as always, you have to find "GetSPC", run it giving it your ESN (under battery) to find out your new "sprintized MSL". This causes you to use sprints towers for everything, add to the fact that it loads a sprint PRL and you are now "stuck on sprint".* when you dial *228 you get a sprint recorded voice that this number is not valid.
Having a xv6700 laying around I was able to set nearly everything in EPST back to where it needed to be (see screen shots)- that got me making calls (roaming) but no i-net, and no *228...
*
Called Data tech support for a aKey, they gave it to me, that didn't work.
*
Dl'ed a vz PRL from http://www.corolada.com/prl/
That got me to be able to connect to vz by dialing *228, but no love, it says "sorry call cust serv...".
*
Went to a corp VZ store and looked at all the settings in EPST changed a couple more, that didn't work.
*
Spoke to the lead geek in charge there and fessed up, he said that it was because of the MSL code change, that *228 sends the 000000 “service sub lock code” to unlock the SPL (EPST) and if the code is different, it will never connect to *228 right (well maybe after they open up their network more, but that is at least months away).* So I said what if I was with sprint and wanted to "convert"? He said they would need sprint to set the MSL to 000000, which would likely be done by sending it in to sprint, then sprint sending it to HTC (I'm sure we can come up w/ something better).
*
After leaving, I received a follow up call from my escalated trouble ticket, and the girl reset my “DMU keys” that finally got me to have i-net (still no *228 love though).
*
So now I am at a OK place, everything works but still roaming, place and receive calls, received network texts from cust serv, and have i-net. However I didn’t want to go through all the set up on my phone just to hard reset anyway so I started off on a quest to find a legit vzw rom.
People keep saying it's posted here, or there or everywhere, I HAVE TRIED everyone I have found and have NOT been able to reset the radio to Verizons peramaters.
Any help out there as to finding the STOCK VERIZON RADIO or best the whole stock verizon rom package?
for those who need help getting the EPST setup I will post the current settings I am using in screenshots.
** I will update this post to reflect the best solution if the thread gets cumbersome.
I used the stock Verizon ROM at:
ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/CarrierRoms/Verizon_Stock_ROM/VZW_Passworded_Ruu_signed
I had a similar type issue and I'm working fine now. You'll see a solved post from me with a GPS issue. Hope that helps.

Here is a repost of my earlier posting on this subject. This will resolve your issues if your Verizon phone has been "Sprintized" or help you restore your phone before returning it to Verizon.
To set your phone back to the default Verizon ROM, do the following:
Download all necessary files 1) Titan Re-locker 2) Stock Verizon ROM 3) ROM Update Utility
Unzip/rar the Stock ROM and the RUU (unrar using WinRAR) ****DO NOT UNZIP THE RELOCKER**** (it is a self extracting zip and will run properly as is)
Place the Ruu_signed.nbh file in the RUU folder
Hard reset your phone by holding down both softkeys, hitting reset, and pressing R (just for good measure)
Connect your phone to your PC and make sure ActiveSync is connected
Re-lock your phone by running Titan_Relocker.exe
Place the stock Verizon ROM in the RUU folder
Run the RUU by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe
For good measure, let the Verizon ROM complete its setup.
I'm doing this from memory so please let me know if I missed a step so that I can update this post.
I hope this is helpful.

Was running 2.3.2 w/ the 3.27 radio. Just updated.
Here were my steps:
Performed hard reset
Connected phone to PC and made sure AS was connected
Ran the Sprint updater
Upon reboot I forced phone into bootloader mode (did this while HTC screen was beginning to appear)
Cooked ROM in DCDs Kitchen...added several options
Ran updater
Notes:
Never had to run *228. Phone and internet confirmed to work correctly. Syncing w/ AS right now, configuring Exchange AS.
Will report back more later, but so far so good.

(coming from DCD 1.70 and radio 2.13)
1. Load Olipro 1.20 unlocker (my phone was re-locked after 1.70 ROM)
2. Flash radio
--Reboot was stuck on verizon screen after radio- entered bootloader mode by pressing power+camera, and inserting stylus for reboot. Entered bootloader successfully.
3. Cooked verizon-based rom from DCD 3.0.0 kitchen
4. Flashed ROM
This brought me to the new radio and rom, BUT... when disconected from the desktop, entered the dreaded constant reboot situation, so...
5. Reattached to desktop- this stopped the rebooting. Established activesync.
6. Loaded Olipro 2.40
7. Removed connection from desktop. Removed battery and after reinsert, hard reset device.
8. Ran *228,1 and then *228, 2. Soft reset after each
9. Working great for phone and text. Will play with GPS and report back (yes-- I will enable Location On!)
Thanks DCD for your great work and suggestions along the way here and in the radio thread..

So to summarize your steps minus the failure follow my directions but if you don't have Olipro 2.4 installed already, do that first. OH, and I didn't need to run *228.
My data speed didn't test so well...gonna see if running a *228 helps.
Edit: HA! As I expected...running *228 jacks me up again. Looking for signal. *22802 kicks it back into signal.....looking into it some more.

your solution is finaly correct - I am uploading the needed files to megaupload so ftp issues don't keep causing problems for people.
I am stuck at the verizon white splash screen and I am trying to get my phone back to stock. I can not establish a connection to my PC via active sync. It there a way to get my phone connected, or is my phone Brick'd now?
Thanks

Press camera+power+soft reset
This will take you to the boot screen and you should be able to continue. You should have relocked your bootloader, right?
If so, just go ahead and flash the stock rom.
EDIT: Dont panic. If you are at the Verizon screen your phone is definitely NOT bricked. There are HUNDREDS of cases exactly like your and HUNDREDS more posts telling your exactly how to fix your problem. Search and you shall find.
Even before you actualy get into WinMo even though activestink is not really connected - it is able to connect through and re-flash the bootloader - it took a while to figure that one out for me too...

The moral of the story is, don't let Sprint customization run!
I did and had heck for 2 days. After flashing and re-flashing. i finally got back to original vzw rom, but data still didn't work, even after talking with tech support.
I took my phone to a local vzw store and they were able to fix it.
30 minutes later, I had the dcd3.01 rom installed and everything working perfectly.
Next big rom update, I will wait for others to screw up before jumping in.
....
plz up date the wiki with this
I did that same thing a month ago. Ran the damn Sprint Radio/Rom package and was stuck on Sprint towers. Even going back to the stock Verizon rom didn't help. I manually loaded a PRL and finally had phone calls, but no data. After many hours on the phone with Verizon giving me AKEYs, refresing towers, releasing stuck data sessions.... They finally sent me a replacement phone. Nice to see this issue has finally been resolved.
vx6800 bricked
I am new here but I need some help.
I have read and reread all the various posts but cannot get past the splash screen. During startup, at the bottom it, i get R 1.30.60 and D 3.35. It appears my problem is mismatched ROM and Radio version. However, trying to get back to stock rom, my device is not even detected by activesync and no matter what I do, I end up getting error - device not connected.
Thanks

I got this problem fixed with the help of an uncommonly smart tech support agent.
My first problems started when I accidentally put the sprint rom on my phone and let it boot.
I just called tech support about three times before I saw this post and they couldn't help me and they even did a DMU key reset without my knowledge and that didn't work. The last guy I talked to told me to bring the phone back into the store that I got it to get it replaced. Not wanting to do that beings that this was the last phone the store had in stock, I did one final search on google and found this site. After reading this post, I called back in to ask them to do a DMU key reset. The tech support agent then informed me that they already did a DMU reset and it obviously didn't work. He then wanted to try "something". He asked me to take the battery out of the phone and leave it like that while he put me on hold. I was on hold for about 3 minutes and when he got back on, he asked me to get back onto the phone and asked me to boot the device up again. He then asked me to dial *228 and let the phone reprogram. After I did that and it rebooted, I was able to use data. Whoohooo!!!!
I asked him what he did for my own personal benefit and he informed me that he actually temporarly removed my data package from my plan and reaplied it. But it was important that the device was turned off while he did it. Hence, the removal of the battery. I was very pleased with this guy. I thanked him profusely.
I'm posting this for the benefit of other people who are having problems with their data package after installing the sprint rom.
I haven't posted before, but I have a pretty difficult problem.
I tried installing one of those Sprint ROM/Radio setups on my phone, and like a dummy I let the customizations run. So here's what I did:
1) I flashed back to Verizon stock using the relocker and stock radio/rom. Once completed, it still shows roaming.
2) Then I used *228 option 1, then option 2, and the roaming icon goes away. Oh yeah, I also get the message "we are currently unable to authenticate your phone". No problem, not going to do anything else yet until I get a ROM/Radio combo I want.
3) Then I flashed the unlocker and (insert ROM/Radio combo here). I've tried most of them, following the compatibility list posted on this site. Most version of DCD's, 5067 (or whatever the # is), and radios 3.35, 3.37, 3.39, 3.49, etc. Once I get everything set, get a new A-key, I'm still roaming. The bottom line is that it doesn't matter what I use; the phone goes back into roaming mode. I then tried *228 option 1/option 2. *22899 does not work at all. I've tried to have them do the DMU resets; that doesn't seem to work. I've downloaded and installed new PRL files; that didn't help. In addition to roaming, my data isn't working either. I gave up and reflashed back to stock using the posted procedure.
4) Go back to step 1. I'm somewhere in this endless loop as we speak.
I can't fix it. I've followed almost every recommendation on this site. Verizon is sending me a new phone. In the meantime, I'd like to continue to try to fix this, but I don't know what else to do. Can anyone help???? Thanks.

a. she had me do everything i had already done (*228), reset username and pass...etc.
b. after 30 mins and at last resort, she removed then readded me to the system (reprovisioned, much like when cable internet modems go offline) SUCCESS
remember only use files from post one of the ablve link, others on here, ppcgeeks, smartphonejunkie oddly didnt help!
Now im back up to Rom 20226 radio 3.42... man im hard headed, but i have a kewl phone again!!!! hope this helps!!!!

quad,
i am waiting (24 to 48 hrs )for their network team to do.... something to my phone, possibly the DMU reset. My tech wasn't able to do that on her own. I'm wondering if i can get a regular tech to do what they did for you....when you say they removed you then added you to the system, not exactly sure what that means
I'm Jealous.....
EDIT: BTW, my data connection settings won't keep a username and pwd stored....keeps dropping them every time after i put em in

PPP Connection Error

I'm sure the answer to my question is somewhere in this forum...but no matter how I search...it does not reveal anything I can use.
I recently upgraded to DCD 3.2.6 with the .50 radio and SPL 2.47 and used the Verizon carrier cab
My data connection fails every time I try to connect. I get the message PPP Connection Error.
After reading a few post within the forum...it was sometimes suggested to re-run the carrier cab which I did about four times...it tell me that it successful but still fails to connect.
I then called Verizon and they where unable to resolve my connection issue...so they are sending me out a new phone...oh I'm using the XV6800 Verizon.
So...what should I do now?
See if somebody can help me to get my data connection working and tell Verizon not to send out a new phone...or reset my XV6800 back to stock ROM and go for the new one...which of course will probably have the new stock ROM on it...which will not allow me to install a custom ROM.
Any suggestions?

what do you have for your Data Network Connect? #777 and then you need name, password, and domain. I don't remember what those are off the top of my head but need to right or you will not connect. You do have a data package from Verizon, sorry I am in support and have to ask all the simple questions as well as the hard ones. Also have you tried to reload the radio ROM and the DCD ROM again, with the Verizon CAB of course? Most of the issues are cleaned up with reloading the ROM not the carrier cab. Also make sure that your data connection icon in the Comm Manager is lite up or on.
Verizon Data Tech Support ran me through some setting which one of them was to make sure I had my phone#@vzw3g.com and the pass of vzw set correctly...which I did
That still did not work...when that did not fix the problem...he went no further...and said we need to send you out a new phone.
I'm in the process of downloading the ROM radio again and going to try the procedure again...

Your probably not authenticated on the VZW network. Its miserable when that happens. DO you have a spare phone around? If so activate that phone against your phone number. Wait five minutes and activate the 6800 again. I do it all the time. It will resolve this issue. There is something called a "group password" you are missing. Only VZW can put that in by re provisioning the phone.
There tech support never catches this. IF you have to, call them and just tell them you need your AKey reset. You will get transfered to a security department. They will walk you through a bunch of crap then finally reset your AKEY. You should be able to authenticate as you as you dial the number that lets you program the phone. Cant remember what it is off the top of my head. ##xxx

After reading a few post within the forum...it was sometimes suggested to re-run the carrier cab which I did about four times...it tell me that it successful but still fails to connect.
I then called Verizon and they where unable to resolve my connection issue...so they are sending me out a new phone...oh I'm using the XV6800 Verizon.
So...what should I do now?
See if somebody can help me to get my data connection working and tell Verizon not to send out a new phone...or reset my XV6800 back to stock ROM and go for the new one...which of course will probably have the new stock ROM on it...which will not allow me to install a custom ROM.
Any suggestions?

You can revert to a stock pre-gps ROM. There are instructions to do it somewhere. From then you skip the VZW update and just follow the normal path. I have done it with my phone a 100 times. Thats how I know about the authentication issue you are having.
I do have another phone around here...I might try that
I have just finished re-installing the radio ROM and the 3.2.6 ROM...installed the Verizon carrier cab
ran the *228 option 1
waiting for the phone to reset.
I'm just wondering if I'm following the correct procedure upgrade the phone...
I used the Wiki...but it appears to be as organized as my home office...
so I'm not sure where the best tutorial is to follow upgrading the phone.
Edit...that's was a no go...same issue
Not sure what you mean in your last post...care to elaborate a little on that?
I also read somewhere that if I activate another phone...and then re-activate the 6800...its possible that I will loose my data plan associated with the 6800...
I guess I would have to call them or log into the account and re-add it...
Just an update...
I Spent about 45 minutes on the phone last night with Verizon Tech Support.
I called them back after ready your post above. I asked them if they would reset my Akey, but they wanted me to go thru a few other troubleshooting steps first.
finally at the end of the conversation...the girl on the phone said that the Verizon system is getting an A-Key from the phone and since its getting one...it can not be reset...
So...I'm getting a new phone anyway...
I guess its not all that bad...I have been seeing issues with it locking up on me when I was on the stock ROM...
Thanks for the suggestions...time to go find the thread that will put it back into stock status...for shipping back to Verizon.

I've been through that thread already
However, I'm just going to wait until the new one arrives and try again...
make sure your settings for your data connection do NOT have anything under domain. also, under Connections --> Advanced--> Select Networks, make sure that Verizon Wireless is selected for the first option. i havent heard anything about this for a while, but if this is happening when you try to send or receive an MMS, it can't hurt to make sure your X-VzW-MDN key is set to your 10 digit phone number (HKLM\Software\Archsoft\Archsoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\wspheader)

The first part of your message was checked by me and Verizon...just to make sure...
When I had everything installed and running after the upgrade...MMS was not even available...only thing I had was SMS and email.
I had to install that GC mms/sms cab file to get MMS back on the phone...and that did not even help.
As for the last part of your post
I know that's a registry key...but how do you get to it to check.
Also...just for sh**s and giggle knowing I'm going to be sending this phone back to VZW when the new one shows up...
After converting it back to stock radio, ROM and SPL
I used the official VZW MR1 ROM update and flashed the phone with that...same issue, unable to make data connections...
Thanks for all the support and suggestions...

I had the same problem and when I switched to my old Razr and then back to the XV6800 then ran the carrier cab it worked. It may have took 2 tries (switching back and forth between phones). I did have to reselect a data plan when activating the 6800. I also may have run the carrier cab a few times. It took a lot of messing around but I finally got it to work. I guess if your getting a new phone none of this really matters though.

Killed my Titan?

Alright, i just received a warranty replacement phone and was in the process of setting it up. It had the latest MR2 ROM installed on it. Went ahead and loaded SPL 2.40 and DCD 3.2.6 ROM, left the shipping 3.37 Radio.
The problem started when I did the aGPS walkthrough. As soon as I wrote the settings to the phone and reset, the phone stopped making or receiving calls. It just gets stuck on Dialing.... then either says Call Lost or Call Ended. I tried reloading the backup I made of QPST settings and still no luck.
Did manual provisioning, still no luck. Spent 45 minutes on the phone with Verizon trying to diagnose after I flashed back to MR2. They're sending me another replacement. I just don't want this to happen on the new one.
thats normal .. (well some what) .. all you need to do is *228 or call support
to do an over the air Auth .. basically your A key or Auth info. is miss match ..
*228 sometimes fix this .. if not just call support .. . tell them you did a hard
reset to clean up space on the phone and it no longer make calls .. they will
re-send the A key and other Auth info to your phone!! not a big deal your phone is ok
Thanks for your quick reply. The phone won't even complete a *228 call. Every time I try dial *228 it gets stuck at Dialing.... until it says something like call lost.
Verizon reps tried a couple things and ended up replacing the phone instead. How do I avoid this next time? Is it really necessary to downgrade to the 2.09 ROM first? Thanks.
What are you trying to do with the phone by adding a custom rom? If you don't downgrade before going custom then standalone gps won't work. I imagine you accidentally changed a setting in qpst that you weren't supposed to. Or maybe you have discovered a new problem with going custom from MR2 without downgrading first. Not many people have messed with MR2 since Verizon messes everything up. I would just recommend downgrading before going custom to make sure the Verizon troubles and removed from the phone.
Thanks for the help. I think this is an added problem from not downgrading. I have done the aGPS fix on 3 other titans the exact same way and never had a problem. But now, even the QPST backups don't work.
Ok. This is as CONFIRMED as I can make it since I received another replacement Titan and was successful this time around.
If you don't downgrade to the old ROM and bootloader and then upgrade and do the QPST aGPS, you will loose your ability to make or receive phone calls beyond repair. You WILL have to swap out your device.
If you downgrade first, everything works normally.

[official]-[help] experiencing problems after rooting s-off?

Has anyone had any problems after using the revolutionary S-OFF guide? I am currently 3 days into a problem, I havn't had much time to work on my phone because I've been so busy but this is my first step of getting down to the issue and I will post my solution when I find it.
ONLY problems I am having...
1. I cannot send/receive texts
2. I cannot make/receive calls
What's working...
1. Data/internet is working 100% with no issues(this is kinda weird)
2. Everything else is working fine
What I've tried so far...
1. Wiping all data flashing numerous different roms
2. restoring a nandroid backup
3. using QPST Tools to flash my Sprint data back up(I backed up my Sprint settings with this)
4. I was using PRL 01337 and even flashed different PRL'S
5. I went to menu>settings>System Updates> and updated PRL and profile
6. I dialed ##3282#>entered my MSL>Edit settings and changed my proxy to 0's(user name and all other info is correct I assure you)
7.Dialed ##MY_MSL_CODE#>edit settings> My phone number and MDN number are correct and I even changed a number then changed it back, hit menu, then commit modifications so it reboots.. still nothing.
8. I updated the most current radios
9. Everytime I go into recovery to try flashing again I check to see if im S-OFF and I am still S-OFF. I know I rooted correctly and have the recovery installed correctly, I am using TWRP V1.0.1
10. Just flashed the latest ViperRom, Once again Data works great but when I call or text I get an error code.
Error codes received:
-When sending a text I get "SMS ERROR - Radio Interface Resource Shortage"
Cause Code: 62
Error Class: 2
-When I make a call it rings a few times then says "
Solved...
Here's the most simple solution to fix your Talk, Text, & Calling errors after you have rooted to s-off. Not everyone experiences this issue, but if you run into it your in the right place. This is what we like to call a "Data refresh". It wipes ALLL your sprint connection settings, reboots, and goes through a "Hands Free Activation".
Step 1. Get your MSL(Master subsidy Lock). Since root is available now, this is very simple to get! Just download MSL READER from the app market after you are fully rooted to S-OFF.
Step 2. Dial ##72786#, enter your MSL code.
Step 3. Press Menu, then "Reset". Your phone will reboot and will go through a hands free activation. You now have a fully working 3VO S-OFF.
(Note: In step 3 when I told you to click reset, keep in mind this does NOT reset your phone and all your personal stuff, apps, etc. will still be right where they were before you reset it.)
You need to stay on the line when making a call. Let it reach customer service and say that you encountered an error 16 and they need to reprovision your profile on their end.
It will require a battery pull, so you may need to call from another phone.
That will fix your text/call problem.
Bluetooth headset pairing issue!
I'm trying to pair some bluetooth stereo headphones and my phone isn't recognizing the new device. It is able to connect with all the previously paired devices, but it won't recognize any new headset devices. I've tried pairing it to two headsets (one of which I unpaired and tried re-pairing) without success. Please help! THanks....
Thank you sooooo much!!! Tried calling Sprint 3 times to fix that...
Edit: didn't work. Radio interface resource shortage still. Grrrrrrrrr!

[Q] GN2 Will Not Connect back to Verizon Network

Hey guys,
I ran the Suckit Verizon boot unlocker exploit, and it was successful. At which point I used TW Recovery to flash Android Revolution HD 8.0 (N7100 ROM). My phone wouldn't connect to the Verizon network, saying I did not insert the proper SIM card. I found this strange, but realized Verizon locks their network to international phones. I then used the Verizon Toolkit to flash back to stock recovery and ROM. After doing so, I still had no luck in activating my phone.
I called tech support (now having stock everything) and they told me it was likely my SIM card. After spending 2 hours at the store today, it is clearly not the SIM card. They have no idea what the problem is...
When I flashed Android Revolution, I wiped my efs. Could that be the problem? Is it possible to flash a new EFS or COM3? I have no clue how to reactivate to the network..
Anyone have this problem? I did a search on both Suckit Verizon and the Verizon toolkit thread and no one appeared to suffer from this. Please help! Any solutions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Will update if those guys at Verizon come through.
Definitely has to do with wiping my EFS and not saving it. Under Settings > About > Status IMEI is unknown as well as all other carrier info.
Can someone send me their EFS or is their a way to restore the EFS without having backed it up?
Flash the full Odin restore image and that should fix the problem. Note, it will wipe your data and re-lock the bootloader, but it should at least connect to the network again.
If the stock Odin doesn't work since your imei is unknown this may be what you need, but listen to imnuts first

Flashed stock rom. No luck. Now I have to root back, as one of the prerequisites is being rooted. Will get back.
I kind of had this same problem right after I rooted/unlocked and before flashing any ROMs. I was getting signal bars but kept getting a cannot connect to network error every time I tried to place a call. I called customer service and they "reset" my account, whatever that means but it still didn't work. Started driving to the Verizon store and decided to try one last factory reset and it started working! An IT guy at my work said the account reset plus factory reset got my device sync'd with Verizon signal again. Don't know if what he said is true...don't know why it worked...don't know if this will help you but I thought I would share my experience. I know what you are going through so good luck!

I had almost the same problem using MIUI for AT&T's variant. I was able to get most functionality back by accessing the hidden menu and doing the ##RTN#, but still cannot get 4G LTE back. Maybe this will help you get started too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36163537
According to the OP instructions - which I have done entirely correct. Put phone in Debugging, Went to Qualcomm settings in Hidden menu and set to "RMNET + DM + MODEM" , connected to the proper COM port, clicked the READ on top, however when I go to click the second read to populate the information -> Says cannot set device into DM mode.
The instructions and accompanied video do not reference having to place the device into DM mode at all. The fact that I am getting this error message is also a unique problem.
Anyone know what this could mean or how to fix it? Could it be due to the USB Qualcomm settings not "taking or shifting", although it does confirm that I changed by saying "Saved"
Also, can Verizon Wireless sync my IMEI in store if I bring the original box with the IMEI barcode on it ? Can they flash / scan it to the phone?
anybody?

I know with a fact that the stores do not carry any flashing software for any smartphones. So there is nothing they can do.
