I currently have my rezound unlocked and s-off with a straight talk att sim card, running liquid rom (most current). I have used CDMA workshop to edit nv values that would supposedly get 3g working (no-go). At no point since I have had the rezound on straight talk (even before nv edits) have I been able to send or receive sms, or receive phone calls. I can make outgoing calls and have edge data. I've tried fifty different ROMs and as many or more different "3g fix" hacks, to no avail. I have used probably over 100 different APN settings as well. I am (slowly) downloading all the files I need for a complete downgrade and update (my rez is my only source of internet right now), in hopes that doing that may have some influence in getting things working properly.
Edit: Forgot the most important part, if anyone has any thing that they think may work, please share. I'm willing to try anything at least once.

I think the bands are the problem so no software can fix hardware problems
I don't think you read my entire post. In not really concerned with data speed, what I want is SMS, MMS, and to recurrence phone calls. Which it should be able to do without any modification.

If on "stock ROM" it should work without if on other ROM flash this if it doesnt connect automaticly let it sit for a while if it still doesn't reflash
Are you on AT&T or T-Mobile StraightTalk? Have you tried the SIM in another device? The reason I ask is because if you can make an outbound call and get Edge data, that is all you really you need to receive a call and send/receive SMS. MMS is a little more complicated but until you can get the voice and SMS working, I wouldn't even worry about MMS. But I am going to be honest, this sounds more like a SIM or Straight Talk setup issue than a phone issue.
@REV3NT3CH is kind of the expert in using domestic GSM on the Rezound... maybe he can chime in a little bit on this.

Luck?
I am not sure I understand why all this is necessary... there are two simple prop.build tweaks that need to be done to get GSM to work reliably with most JB/KK ROMs, if you look in the first or second post of ROMs like Vanir and Evervolv you will see a GSM.zip that you can flash to make these changes for you, some newer ROMs make these changes for you on the fly (or so it appears, I do not have a Rezound any longer). This is typically all that is required to make it work, although some NV edits might be needed to tune the radios for better reception, it should have basic functionality with minimal changes.
Make sure you on the latest Hboot and radios, wipe thoroughly, and flash per dev's instructions and look through your ROM thread for any GSM specific settings or changes that need to be made (if you can't find any, ask in the ROM thread to be sure).
I have to go back to wondering if you tested this in a AT&T phone to make sure it works, because this sure sounds like a SIM or activation issue with Straight Talk to me.
It may very well be an issue with straight talk. I used the att sim from their byop kit and don't have an att phone to test it on. I'm still trying to get all of the files downloaded to do a full factory restore to make sure it's not something in my device that's the issue.

I have downloaded the file, but still haven't gotten a chance to flash. I'll update here as son as I get a chance.
So I tried about three different gsm fix zips, including the one Aly3n posted. None of them worked. I have only two options left. Full factory downgrade and restore, and calling straight talk to see what they have to say.

Did you dirty flash your ROM between each GSM patch flash? If not you didn't have a good starting point for each attempt because your system partition had been modified with each flash...

you let the customizations run... thats why.
Your phone is 'stuck' on Sprint's network until you relock, flash back on the Verizon stock ROM, and get a DMU/data reset.
The first part is easy, but getting them to do a DMU reset for your data (if you even need it, which isn't clear at this point) is kind of a pain in the ass from what I've heard.

Once you let Sprint's customizations run, they stick until you undo them by reflashing to a Verizon ROM (Stock with all the settings and stuff)
Does it say Sprint instead of Verizon Wireless wherever your phone indicator is? If so, you are on Sprint's Network...

You may still be stuck with a Sprint PRL/PRI or whatever.
Um, if I can find a way to export mine, I can upload it for you to import...
P.S. customizations on custom roms like DCD should be allowed to run, as they don't contain carrier-specific information, unless noted to have so.

I laugh a little every time I see someone post about *22899. *22899 does NOTHING different than dialing *228 option 1. It simply overrides the prompt and is used by Verizon during activation or troubleshooting so they can dial it and put the phone down to work on other stuff.
For some reason, people think it's like this secret magic fix and it absolutely is not.
Hi, I recently switched from AT&T to Straight Talk. Whenever I have the AT&T SIM card inserted the phone runs fine, but as soon I put in the Straight Talk SIM card, the phone reboots randomly. This happens 4-5 times a day.
APN is set to StraightTalk ATT (att.mvno). Are there any other settings I need to change?
Any input is appreciated!
Clearly nobody knows, or else they'd have responsed in your first thread.
Do you think you would eventually get a response by asking over and over again? That's not very nice.
Honestly, yes I did think that I thought my original post was maybe in the wrong forum. Sorry if it offended you.
Sounds like a bad sim card
I had a big problem with random reboots and rebooting when heavily loaded. Turning off zram took care of the reboots when heavily loaded (I could recreate these reboots) but I also would experience 3-4 random reboots a day. Replacing my sim card eliminated the random reboots.
That makes sense actually. I'll try another SIM card and see if that takes care of the problem. Thanks for your helpful answer! On a side note, what is zram/ how do I turn it off?
Zram is swap space, the faux123 kernel supports it. It is not enabled by default, so it is unlikely you have it enabled.
Hmmm, I just started to notice a pattern. It seems to reboot - often not always - when I have an incoming text message. The phone reboots, then a text message comes in. Not always, but about %50 of the time.

For anyone having the same issue or looking into getting service with Straight Talk, here is the answer:
Straight Talk does NOT work with the Atrix 4G.
That is the answer I received from a Straight Talk rep, and of course based on my own observations after trying out several different SIM cards with several different providers as well as different ROMs. I'm a bit surprised as most ROMs (at least the 3 or 4 ROMs I have tried) have pre-configured APN settings for Straight Talk - but the results are what they are. ATT and TMO SIMs work fine (no reboots), just Straight Talk gives this issue.
Thanks again for your input!
Atrix4g works fine with straight talk
We have one ATRIX on AT&T and one on ST. Both work fine.

There is no reason to be surprised. Most custom ROMs come from a common base. Even if a specific phone happens to not support some network, nobody is going to filter it out, there is just no sense to that. You just can't assume something works just because there is some data related to it.

Interesting! The ST REP asked me for the IMEI of my phone, and then said the hardware of my phone was not compatible. I will contact them again and see what information I get this time.

Don't listen to 80 percent of what Straight Talk reps say because they're typically old Filipino ladies reading out of a manual. I'd know because they sound like all my aunts. lol
What is a Kernel and how do find out which one I have? I have installed multiple ROMs since I rooted the phone a couple years ago but don't remember changing the Kernel, I just always went with whatever ROM I was installing so I assume it is the default Kernel that came with the ROM. In this case I am using MROM Olympus and have also tried Neutrino when I began getting this reboots with the ST SIM.
As for APN settings, I have tried a couple different ones, right now I am using the ones that can be found on the ST website:
NAME straight talk
APN att.mvno
PORT 80
MMSC http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS PROXY 66.209.11.33
MMS PORT 80
One of the patterns I have noticed is it happens a lot when I use the GPS and am driving around, so it could be either something zram related as suggested by tamruin or something to do with the phone switching towers. Another pattern is incoming Text Messages, often my phone reboots and once it is booted up again a text message will arrive, but this happens only 50% of the time. The rest of the reboots seem completely random, or at least not in a pattern I have been able to detect.
Basically, a kernel is responsible for making sure your hardware and software work together. Since you are using MROM, you are more than likely using their kernel. I've had my share of experiences with different ROMs and they were never in my favor other than cyanogen. I also typically had issues when it came to overclocked kernels or anything other than stock.
Your APN settings are on point.
Here's some steps I would take until one of them workout for you.
1. boot into clockwork recovery and wipe cache and dalvik
2. try a different kernel until one of them workout for you. you can find them in the development section.
3. install a different rom, I would suggest installing a stock-based rom to first to see if your phone will stop rebooting. Nottachtrix is the most stable rom i've used so far.
Let me know if any of this works.
Good info, I really appreciate the help! I will install nottach tonight and report back in a couple days after test driving it as well as trying different kernels if I continue getting those reboots with the new ROM.
No problem!
I believe there is a Nottach 2.1.0 out. Use the at&t kernel first and I highly recommend the ics theme. Lol.
Good luck!

Try stock first
I have found that the best "stock" cwm flashable rom (i.e. it always works when I want to flash back to stock) is the one shown in the 4th post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30540799#post30540799
If you need the stock webtop, it can be found in post #2 of the same thread.
Ok, so I'm still getting reboots with the Nottach ROM (stock ATT kernel). Not as often, but still too many when I'm trying to use my phone as GPS. Interestingly enough it seems to reboot more often when I'm using GPS.
I'll try the Gingerbread 2.3.6 (4.5.141) Stock Fruitcake tamuin suggested also, see how it works.
I also got a TMO SIM just to see if I got reboots with it too, but I still need a "SIM network unlock PIN" (PUK?) I think I need to get that from ATT. I thought as long as the phone was unlocked I'd be good to go, but apparently that's not the case. I wonder why I didn't get that message (to unlock the SIM card) with the ST SIM card and if the fact that the phone is not SIM unlocked has anything to do with my reboots.
The straight talk sim by default is technically an at&t sim, although you can get a t mobile version. I'm sorry to hear you are still getting reboots. Was the sim card purchased from straight talk as an individual sim card? Or was it taken from one of their phones? Reason why I ask is because I used to have their Nokia E71, and other users were taking their sims out of their Nokia to put them in an iPhone. The only time I remember a reboot issue with any of my straight talk phones was only with my Nokia. So if the sim was taken from, (let's say the same Nokia) , then that may be the cause of the reboot issue. It has something to do with the voltage requirements of the sim card.

Also since after purchasing their straight talk BYOP sim cards, I didn't recall having any issues with my Nokia rebooting, when I would use it after dealing with issues with my atrix.

So to make a long story short, for the past few weeks I have not been able to send sms. It happened all of a sudden and with no changes to cause it. I can send mms, receive and make calls, but no sms. Took it to Verizon yesterday with the thought in mind that I had a faulty simple card, they tried another one and nothing. Factory reset, nothing. Spent two hours watching them try tthe same things I did. Then they gave up and said to refer to samsung. My question is, is this a software issue? And will rooting and throwing a rom on do the trick? Also is there a root method for after the 4.3 update at the moment?

Check to see if you are on Global or CDMA/LTE/EVDO

I was having issues receiving MMS messages and set this from global back CDMA/LTE/EVDo and that fixed it.

Did you try a factory reset???
Hey bud... had the same issue. Over and over for quite some time (since before owning the S4).
Only real fix was to reset the phone (stock, rooted, or custom rom)... only to have it crop up later, again and again.
Last call to VZW and the girl had me swap my SIM and get a new phone, this was while I was on vacation and when I got home, the phone hard bricked on the MJ7 update. So I am not sure what is what and not even sure if it will crop up again. I haven't seen the issue for a few weeks though.
I do have a little, non scientific, theory on this.
Everytime I have had this occur that I can recall, I was traveling from my home. Maybe 100 miles or more. VZW messaging (web) never got any of the messages and the VZW rep can see the messages come into their system and the system believes it is delivering the messages. This also occured with the GNex.
I am assuming that one of two things are going on here.... something is messed up with my provisioning (and your's maybe) or there is an issue with handoffs.
A friend of mine went through the same thing until I did this:
Turn off the radios one by one including: bluetooth, mobile network, and then do airplane mode. Make sure you're on the CDMA/EvDO/LTE settings instead of global. Reboot the phone. Turn off airplane mode, and then turn on your mobile network and give it about a minute. Then try sending SMS.

Last call to VZW and the girl had me swap my SIM and get a new phone, this was while I was on vacation and when I got home, the phone hard bricked on the MJ7 update. So I am not sure what is what and not even sure if it will crop up again. I haven't seen the issue for a few weeks though.
I do have a little, non scientific, theory on this.
Everytime I have had this occur that I can recall, I was traveling from my home. Maybe 100 miles or more. VZW messaging (web) never got any of the messages and the VZW rep can see the messages come into their system and the system believes it is delivering the messages. This also occured with the GNex.
I am assuming that one of two things are going on here.... something is messed up with my provisioning (and your's maybe) or there is an issue with handoffs.

Tried it. Nothing, I agree there has to be something wrong with the handoffs.

A friend of mine went through the same thing until I did this:
Turn off the radios one by one including: bluetooth, mobile network, and then do airplane mode. Make sure you're on the CDMA/EvDO/LTE settings instead of global. Reboot the phone. Turn off airplane mode, and then turn on your mobile network and give it about a minute. Then try sending SMS.

Damn ... I was hoping that was the ticket. Your phone might need to be provisioned. *228 to make sure it has updated PRLs. Failing that, you may need to call up VZW.

Not supposed to *228 our phones. Something about possibly frying the sim? Read and read and read.

It does not fry the sim anymore it just puts you in a 3g prl, after a week or to or after you cut your phone off it will auto update back to 4g prl

mb use odin and re-flash the stock rom? I never seen/faced issue like this but would like to help to find the solution, just in case I might deal with such thing later.

Don't know if it will fry the SIM, but *228 will tell you the your phone is already provisioned and it will fail.

Just wanted to give this a bump to see if someone has any ideas
another bump. samsung doesn't want to send me a replacement and suggest i find a loner phone to put my sim in while they have it for over a week. i can't do that. Rooted the phone and put a rom on it to see if that would do the trick and nothing. Any suggestions before i argue with samsung?

It is a known Verizon network issue. There is people way above the front line staff working on it. They don't tell the front line staff this because since it's just limited to aosp and they only support stock, unrooted phones they tell people there is no issue. They could send you ten replacements phones and they all will do the same thing. It's not the phone, it's not the AOSP rom, and it's not your sim card. It's a bizzare issue that makes all aosp roms ever made not work in certain areas, mostly central pa but others as well. There is another xda user working directly with the engineers providing me updates. I will let you know when we find out a resolution.
Here is my thread which is for the Note 2 with the same issue. There is also links that others have posted in my thread with the exact same symptoms since 2/20/14.

I have been recently having an issue where no matter what rom i go to i get no data connection above shotty 3g. I can facebook and it will error no connection same in browser and snapchat. when i send mms it flashes 3g and fails to send mms unless im usuing liquid build 11/10 on wi fi. Pac everytime i install fc at startup. Slim i can barely get 3g. Validus is about the same as slim. And of course all the 5.0 builds (minus pa, because i havent tried it yet) i get no solid data. I tried flashing the 11c modem and changing apns. Any suggestions?

How would i test that?
Are you flashing these Roms with your Sim removed? Also what is the signal strength in your area??
There are radio diag tests that can be done to assess your problem as well I believe in the Service menu

Not sure you can. Carriers usually don't charge for a new one. I would just get a new one from them and asses things after that.

I flash with my sim in. And if you could point me in the right direction i would appreciate it. I dont mind trying to test. But im a little lost. Currently im running pa 4.4.4 beta and i can get mms to work and what not. I still just get 3g. And it will blink. Ik its more cosmetic but i dont understand the numbers instead

The only way I'm aware of to test the sim would be to flash back to 100% stock and see off the radios work properly there.
You could call them for a new sim. They will likely have you do a bunch of useless stuff like FDR. Just lie about anything that would reveal root or modifications. When nothing they try fixes the issue, they should mail you a new sim, when you say its not convenient to stop by the store, that's why you called. Worked for me before anyways.

Thanks! Good to know
Getting a new SIM isn't too hard. I usually flash my phone back to stock though before I take in. Yeah, it's a pain, but easier than arguing with them in the store.
The last issue I had was my SIM wasn't reporting my device ID correctly. On my Verizon account page, it said that I was using a non-VZW device! This was on my Droid RAZR HD. Apparently, the SIM card got corrupted somehow. Not sure if flashing CM12 on my RAZR HD was the culprit, but the tech support guy on the phone said that the SIM card was sending back a garbled device ID and that's why it happened. He said just go into a store and get a new SIM card if I wanted or he could mail me a new one.
I just went and got a new one. Then, I upgraded to the LG G3 and got an entirely new SIM card. Too funny.
Okay people, here's the deal. I have tried running multiple versions of multiple ROM's, everything from 4.4.2 bases up to 5.0.2 (CM11-12-nightlies, SkyDragon v20-v40.1, Renovate 5.0- r341- r349, LeeDroid, Broken, MaximusHD, etc). When I flash a ROM I download the ROM and gapps if applicable, perform a Nandroid backup, move Zip files to the phone's memory, always preform a full wipe, sometimes twice just to be sure, and follow the Aroma or TWRP installer promts, and finally, if given the option after finishing, wipe the dalvik/cache. On 99% of these ROM's everything works fine, with the exception of being able to add/edit VPN's and the ability to receive incoming calls. After flash I can receive calls for a few days 50% of the time, then nothing. Some of the ROMs, ie. CM12, won't even show a cellular connection. My cell signal is fine, it's showing 4G LTE, but calls just go straight to voicemail, UNLESS I happen to be talking on the phone when a call comes in. In that instance it allows me to transfer to the incoming call without issue. Last night I got so frustrated that I relocked the device and ran the stock AT&T 4.4.4 RUU. Of course everything is working fine now but I really hate this stock ROM. Here's my current set-up:
Unlocked, rooted with SU 2.46, TWRP recovery 2.8.50, 4.4.4 Firmware, S-on (I CAN NOT S-OFF, I'M POOR ), H-boot 3.19.0.0000, OS/Software 3.42.502.1, Radio/Baseband [email protected] Does anyone have a fix for this or know of a ROM that mimics the Lollipop OS look/feel that works with essentially a stock AT&T M8?? I think I've been as detailed as possible but the device is Gold, if that matters HELP?!?!

Well, I read your thread yesterday, but I don't really know an answer (which is why I hesitate to respond). I can only guess here.
What I can say, although I'm not a user of CM12, but I believe the hboot you have and radio should be fine with CM12.
However, I have seen some folks using Euro based ROMs having some issues (primarily on LTE it seems) and not getting voice calls, like you.
So as you somewhat guessed, AT&T's network is probably to blame (at least that is my guess) in that some feature of the Euro based ROMs (possibly build.prop?) doesn't play well with AT&T's LTE network. It wouldn't be the first time something like this has cropped up. It seems that AT&T likes to do some (frustratingly) unique things in build.prop from just about every other carrier in the world, that causes headaches on custom ROMs. So if your are hell bent on using CM12, you might try to edit build.prop at least to start, if you are comfortable doing so.

You might try a GPE ROM that supports 4.4.4 firmware, and see if the result is any better.

Yeah, and build.prop might not even fix it. I think AT&T also messes with the signal icons, which screws up some stuff as well (believe it or not).
But you can't possibly be the only one on AT&T trying to use CM12? I have to think this is a known problem.

Whats really insane to me is I was running CM12 perfectly fine on my AT&T branded M7 months ago with the same exact setup. Obviously the 4.4.2 updated to 4.4.4 as well did TWRP and SuperUser but those are the only changes other than the device. Oddly enough, Renovate's nightly releases based on Lollipop work fine. No issues at all, and I'm getting better signal than on the official 4.4.4

Maybe AT&T made some specific changes to the radio for Voice Over LTE (VoLTE) in the latest M8 OTA, that isn't playing well with CM12? I know VoLTE was implemented in the OTA, so this is certainly a possibility, now that I think about it.
Unfortunately, if that is the case, downgrading the radio isn't allowed with s-on.

dBm and dB. Yeah the VoLTE thing is the only thing that I can think of. I mean they were lethargic in getting 4.4.4 pushed out bc of it not wanting to play nice, and I'm assuming that's the issue with 5.0.1 siiiiiiiiiince we're the only carrier without it. Still.

That is odd, I would not think the same radio with a different ROM would yield better signal in dBm.
I went through the same thing yesterday,. The difference was that I was running ViperOneM8 ROM (and really liked it). I contacted the Venom support folks and they indicated that they are aware and that it's the new AT&T HD voice (VoLTE) causing problems and there is no solution at present. Weirdest thing, I was able to receive calls... but only when I was not on the LTE network. The ROM would not let me select my network. I got some error when I tried that.
I relocked bootloader, ran RUU... then tried installing "HTC_One_M8_Lollipop_5.0.1LRX22C" which I ran in the past with no issues. I was unable to receive calls with this ROM as well. However this ROM does allow me to select between 2G, 3G and 4G (LTE) cellular networks and as long as I selected 2G or 3G, I receive calls just fine. Selecting the LTE option forces all calls directly to voice mail.
Until this gets resolved, looks like I am stuck.

It may work for your setup, but it did not work for me. The Venom support team would not even waste time troubleshooting (understandable) since it was a known issue/limitation.

Dude, I'm not talking about a Venom ROM. I'm using the ROM found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/rom-leedroid-one-m8-l-v1-0-5-t3019102 LeeDroid has it working fine but ViperOne, SD, Android Revolution, CM12, etc all had the issues you're complaining about. Try it and then thank me. Make a nandroid backup. Worst case scenario? You waste a few minutes and can say "I told you so"
To make this as plain as possible, if your device is on the current AT&T issued 4.4.4 release, LeeDroid's Lollipop/Sense 7 ROM WILL WORK FOR YOU!!
