So, I have a couple 2nd gen Boost Moto E's. Upon every boot, I am greeted with the Activation screen... which attempts 5 times and fails (is this normal to fail on brand new devices? what gives?). Regardless, I only want to use these as wifi-only devices... I'm able to get around the activation screen by waiting for it to fail all 5 times, but it is super annoying and comes back after every reboot. I also tried unlocking the bootloader and wiped out the stock rom and installed CM13.... but I also get a similar "activating" screen within CM13. If I remove the SIM, I get a similar nag screen about there being "no sim card".
Is there some way to actually complete the activation.... or just permanently make the "activating" screen go away? Would prefer to know the solution for both stock and CM13.... or if not, just a solution for CM13 would be great.
Try wiping out data,cache,dalvik,system and then flash any rom and open or banks gapps. Or if nothing works, flashing the firmware would work without any issues!

By the way, you are not required to purchase airtime when completing the online or toll-free activation process.

Yes this is completely normal on the Boost variant of the xt1526. The device is attempting to provision your UICC card, update your PRL, update your Profile, and thus provision your device for voice and data services, when progressing through the activation screen sequence. In order to successfully attain activation, you will need to either (1) complete the activation steps on Boost Mobile's website, or (2) complete the activation steps via Boost Mobile's toll-free activation phone number. Whether completing the steps online, or by phone, your xt1526's MEID and ICCID numbers are synced in Boost's activation database. Therefore, when you then power up your phone and enter into the activation screen, the TCP packets sent from your phone to Boost's server will now be recognized by the system and you will get a "passed" versus a "failed" activation status.

Hello everyone. I have one Hero100. I have the code for unlock but the phone has failed to unlock. It's locked on orange. When I enter the code , I get no service on the screen. and when I restart it, it asks for the unlock code again. How can I go about this? Its a bit strange.
sounds like orange gave you an incorrect code...
you have put a NON-orange sim in when you try this, yes?
if it fails again, go back to orange and ask for the correct code, as they have the wrong one.
The code is working. When I put the Code I get a successful msg but it wont pick up the network and also when it restarts it asks folr the code again.
The same
I have got the same problem.
I have got that unlock number but after unlocking phone, there is no range at all and info 'no service', but i am able to use 'Sim Toolkit'.
Where is a problem???
hi i'm having the same problem code is gud and it works but after that it says no servic. and when i restart or put any other sim again and turn on the phone it again asks for the code . whats wrong plz
I think not so many people have seen this phone.
I am also having this issue. Simlocked to Orange got my code and put it in and it was successful then it just stays on the 'unlocking sim' screen.
Been using HTC with windows mobile for years but decided to try android. Am I doign something wrong as I cant seem to access any phone fucntionality without putting a sim in then I get this problem we are having.
On a WM device you would still be able to access everything without having a sim in- just using it n PDA mode
, I am having the exact same problem. I have a HTC hero from orange as my contract phone. I have bought the unlock code from from swift unlock (ebay) and entered the code when prompted. The phone says the network is unlocked but the I can't get any network service, and if toggled the flight mode on and off or switched the phone off and on it will ask for the code again. If I put the orange sim in everything is back to normal. I even tried to hard reset the phone and have a fresh start while the unsupported sim is inserted but the same happens again with the addition of a message "unlocking sim". I thought the code was wrong or something, so I got the code again this time from a high street shop and it was the same code. So nothing is wrong with code itself. The guy at the shop told me that he has great problems with unlocking this phone as some seem to accept the code without any problems and others have this no service issue and he doesn't know the reason for it. I am thinking of flashing a new firmware and radio and see what happens, but this will be probably tomorrow. Sorry for my long post, but I wanted you to know that there is nothing wrong with code itself.
Yeah I dont think there is a problem with my code either. Im new to android but have been a winmo user for years, I havent rooted my Hero yet (only got it today) but that was going to be what I try next: root then network unlock.
Let us know what happens when you flash yours.
Possible Solution
When i unlocked my phone i thought the exact same thing, that it hadn't worked - it said no network, something something about my sim, etc. Later on though, I went outside and it was working. Unbelieveable i thought. Turns out when your in an area with no reception (my house) the Hero decides to boldly make sure you know that it's not getting any signal by giving you big scary messages
So once you've entered the unlock code, let it load up the UI fully, turn phone off, and then turn on again and put it somewhere you definately get a recpetion
Anyway this might answer your problems, then again might not.
Thanks for the suggestion but I dont think that is the problem in my case as I do get reception. Although for me once I have put the unlock could it it says success (or whatever) then goes to saying 'unlocking sim' it doesn't atually load up any interface.
Out of intereset where did you (all) your get your unlock code? I got mine from Unlock Now, anyone else got a code from them and can confirm it works?
Hi, I have flashed the new modaco 2.2 rom, and inserted the unsupported sim, but sadly with the same exact result "no service". I then flashed the latest radio from modaco, and repeated the steps but this time after the first time you put your unlock code it will say "no service as usual" but if you try to toggle flight mode on and off the phone will prompt for the code again and then it will greet you with a no sim is inserted or so, so it seems with the new radio the phone doesn't even detect your sim. If I put the orange sim everything is back to normal again even with the new radio.
Hi there, I think I may have messed the phone up a little, such as this MMI error message which comes up so I can't use speeddial, or any other # code for that matters, also I can't disable call forwarding, and a few other things.
This must have been the result of rooting, etc. Is there an easy way to get my phone back to how it was (basically how it would be straight from the manufacturer, no root at all, just exactly how it was when I first bought it brand new?), bearing in mind I have also flashed it 3 times?
Cheers.
it might help if you said what you flashed it with? Details.
But if you are just wanting to flash back to stock, here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Read, and follow the instructions. They are very clear.

"Hi there, I first of all rooted my previously straight out of the box T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 using the xwkdd_insecure.tar (with Odin and SuperOneClick - I am a complete noob by the way, but this seemed to work after I followed a YouTube video), so that I could then unlock it to use 3 Mobile (in the UK) which I am on - I had bought this phone brand new and sealed from eBay (someone's unwanted upgrade). I then went on to using the free ChainFire sim unlock app, however I soon discovered that after all my phone can't have been locked in the first place as I just got a 00000000 code, never had to enter that and my sim worked having not previously tested it... Then I went on to flash it by using this file first - I9100XWKE7_StockKernel.tar - after seeing another YouTube video to purely debrand it but this only got rid of the yellow ! logo which appeared after rooting it, that is all.
So I then went on to using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064894
in order to debrand it of all T-Mobile stuff, such as the T-Mobile logo and trademark tune which came on after switching the phone on, and get it like a standard sim free/factory unlocked phone if you know what I mean. I used this file as mentioned in the link - I9100XWKDD_I9100XXKDH_I9100XEUKD1_HOME.TAR
The latter part of the guide goes on to entering #272*<IMEI># or something like that, but I have tried that all of the other alternatives and all I get is "USS code running" and like 2 seconds later the error message
"Connection problem or invalid MMI code" appears. I basically can't enter anything in my phone dial with # or * or whatever. What is wrong?
I have also noticed that whenever I call someone a message saying "Conditional call forwarding active" appears, but then proceeds to make the call okay. I have tried to disable and fiddle around with the call forwarding settings, phoned my network provider, but again, error messages come up.
What exactly is wrong and how can I fix it - I am a bit of a noob with all this....? It is surely something to do with all that stuff I have mentioned. Please help me as I honestly don't know how to go about fixing this. What is the most straightforward thing to do which will stop these messages?
Last of all, I flashed using the following, my phone seemed to be auto-rooted as I never had to root again? I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1.tar
Thanks in advance."

The message means just what it says. The phone has detected that you installed or changed some system files that it doesn't like. And is exhorting you to go to a service center and let them return your phone to 100% stock.
We would know a lot more and could have given you a lot better advice had you provided basic and critical information such as which S5 model you have and exactly which files you tried to write to your phone. Since you didn't provide those crucial details, we have no idea what is really going on. Presumably you wrote the wrong firmware to the phone or botched a rooting process.
Without any details, all I could suggest is that you use the Odin software to write a 100% stock firmware file the phone, followed by a factory data reset. This will remove any user files or changes and should resolve the error message. Then you can redo whatever you were trying to do.. root, update, etc.
.
Flash a different kernel made for your device, that is also a kernel error. good luck.
Actually, you need to provide a little more info, like what base are you running and so on. Complete questions will yield complete results.
Could this also be an indication that somebody has injected wiretap/spyware software on your phone? Interestingly, I recently went through a separation and within a week following the separation, my phone began to lag (became very slow), would shut down spontaneously, had less memory space available (without any evident source for the cause of a memory reduction (and with a 64 gb SD card)), and on two occasions, producing this message with an exclamation point contained within a yellow triangle immediately after a spontaneous (not user initiated) reboot, and those reboots occurred with more than enough power to operate (one time at or around 50% and the other at 11%).
Also, soon after I noticed the issues with the phone, I received a T-Mobile "Emergency Security Update" notification. It was not mandatory. I proceeded with the update. Then, within a week thereafter, I received another, that not only stated that it was an Emergency Security Update, but was mandatory, and further provided notice that to ensure that my device had not been compromised, the security update was necessitated.
A question of interest on that note, is whether or not the breach (wiretap & spyware software - (vendors available on-line)), occurred only at the device level, or whether or not it modified the SIM. It would seem, if in any event, the above did occur, that a hard reset, probably three times over, and a new SIM would be in order, if for no other reason than diligence in trying to ensure the integrity of the device and SIM (privacy/protection).
My Phone: G Note 4 (32 GB Internal / 64 GB Ext.)
Any thoughts?

i have the same error my phone is galaxy S6 Edge SM-g925T after actualization send for T-MOBILE i have that error.
Hi guys.
I have a Moto E2 (2nd) Verizon model xt1528 which is locked to Verizon.
I got this device to try and unlock it with gsm services, when i got it i simply factory reset the phone using the recovery to start from scratch. all went well, but here's where the problems starts:
The initial Activation screen says the sim inserted is not Verizon's, which is fine..i pulled it out and continue the setup using WiFi, the screen which says "Checking info" is runing for a few seconds then displays "Couldnt sign in" (cant establish a reliable connection to the server, and wifi is working properly i might add) etc'.
If i go back a screen, it allows to input the first and last name, then it gets to the Google services checkboxes, i hit next and then i get a crash saying "Unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped".
I tried frp bypass using this video just to get to the Developer options:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4sQ73IoHQc
But when i get to the part that i need to share the text using Message app, i cant find the message app in the list. if i click on Hangouts, i get another "Unfortunately" crash.
It seems everything in the gapps system is faulty.
I tried:
Reinstalling to the latest firmware available (XT1528_SURNIA_VERIZON_5.1_LPI23.29-17.5_cid2_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml) using Fastboot. all went well and no errors. (bootloader is locked, cant unlock it without getting to Settings)
I tried to bypass the activation with simcard/without
I tried getting to the settings by any means that i can think of, nothing works, it seems google apps keep crashing and because of that, the setup screen itself is crashing.
Can anyone think of a solution to this?
Anyone?
Hi all,
Alright so this is going to be a long post. So I recently flashed my phone to the U1 firmware, I currently have an unrooted Verizon Unlocked Samsung S9+. I wanted to switch phone carriers over to Visible (subsidiary of Verizon), here are the order of events that occurred:
1. Visible's website says that my device in not compatible using their IMEI checker, there is a solution that was found on reddit about flashing the device on the U1 firmware.
2. I flashed the device on the U1 firmware using Odin and the Visible SIM card worked as expected. No issues with the flash
3. Data/Texts etc.. are all working as expected. Except for Voicemail.
When I try to check my Voicemail, it is acting as if it's still on the Verizon Voicemail system. It says "Welcome to the message management system, please enter your mailbox number". No one can leave me a VM either because of this. I tried several different combinations of numbers, including my full 10 digit cell number and last 4, to which it says "XXX is not a valid mailbox number", which would be because my number is no longer active on Verizon, so it's unable to access it. Which makes sense. The Visible Customer Care team tried the following:
1. Provisioning my VM multiple times
2. Take out SIM card, turn phone off for 1 min, insert SIM card again, and toggle airplane mode for 30 seconds
3. Reset network settings
After numerous days of troubleshooting with them, eventually they said it was because my device isn't compatible, ok, I can't argue with that. I have not seen anyone else experiencing this issue that had flashed their phone to U1 firmware.
After trying all of this with them, I eventually factory reset my device, hoping that might do something. That still did not work.
My questions is, is there something I missed with flashing the U1 firmware? Why is it still using Verizon's VM system even though I flashed it to U1? Is there any way to fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated, and please don't hesitate if you need any other information.

Please check your voice mail settings in your phone app. See my screenshots.
There you should select the correct service provider and the Visible mailbox number.
