Guys - heres a new one for you (well nothing turned up in a search anyways)...
I'm rooted my Rogers Dream following the excellent instructions here on XDA. Prior to rooting I also had the device SIM unlocked by code.
I never got the chance to test out if the SIM unlocked worked, but putting in a foreign SIM appeared to work.
Anyways I went to New Orleans on business and decided to take the Dream with me.
When I powered on the phone with the Rogers SIM in NO, the device kept crashing and wouldn't register on a US network. Something about Android.com terminated unexpectedly. The phone would then go back to the lock screen and I would put my SIM PIN in again, and repeat the process.
Same thing with a AT&T SIM. The phone was useless in the US. I thought I screwed up something with the rooting.
However I came back to Toronto, and the device is fine again.
Any thoughts?
can't really help you out. All I can say is when I took my rooted phone to the US last week and it worked without issue while roaming. I hadn't unlocked the phone yet so I don't know if it'll work with an AT&T sim card or not.
I have an Rogers Magic being used in California without any problems. I just purchased a Rogers Dream, so when it gets here I'll test it out.

Did you have your phone on all the time or did you turn it off at least once?
Maybe I should just restore my backup and try again.

Thanks - let me know if you root it first - then take it to the States.
Appreciate it.
Looks like I can reproduce the problem in Canada by putting in my AT&T SIM.
The exact error message is "The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

I just threw my AT&T sim card in my phone and got the same error on boot up as well as when I was doing a network search.

A search on the exact error says to do a hard reset. I've tried that and so far it seems okay.
But it seems like these two applications do not behave with a rooted Rogers Dream:
"Toggle Settings"
"SMS Unread Count"

1. Press Home.

The phone will then perform the factory reset.

Did you try calling AT&T? Perhaps it's an outage of somekind.
Maybe you run out of smss If you tried on another phone with your sim card, and still couldnt send texts, then its not you phone...as Binary100100 suggested, call to AT&T.
I'm on Tmobile but my daughter was using my g1 and could not send any texas, but they were being received. A wipe seemed to be the fix. Not fun but it's been working fine since.

Had similar thing happen to me. Of course tech support was useless but I managed to figure it out. Ends up my message centre # got screwed. Find out your respective message # and enter:
*#*#info#*#*
into the dialer. It will open an info page and at the bottom you can reenter the #. Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Etienne

Mornings,
Does any one have data connection issues in the UK on O2? Tried hard resetting restoring... but the HD2 won't connect... have also tried looking on the o2 web site for update (can't find a thing...)
So it look as though for some reason at 4:24 my HD2 decided to either kill itself or there are data connection issues.
Any advise is appreciated
Thanks
Neville
Same for me on O2, cannot connect at all this morning, on 2G or 3G...

Mines back on now.
All back by the looks
Hi.
I am having a problem with my network connectivity. I get the "Emergency calls only" message in the notification bar and I am unable to make or receive phone calls or messages. Wifi works though. When I restart my phone, I have connectivity for about 30 seconds before it disappears again. I have done a factory reset and upgraded to the marshmallow firmware, but nothing worked. My sim card works in another phone, but with another sim card in my P8, I get the same issues.
I am someone that always tries to fix something before throwing it away, but this repair might just be beyond my skills.
Does anybody know what the problem might be? Any assistance will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

No. I have had it for a few months and it was working perfectly until Friday.
And I also don't have a guarantee, as I am not the first owner of the phone.

I did. I just found out that I have to take my phone for repairs. The sim card reader has apparently gone bad according to the local cellphone shop. But thanks for the assistance anyway.

Looks like you erased the EFS folder. Do you see a Mac address in about the phone?

It's meant for diagnostic purposes to test the phone by trained personal, not for the general public unless you know what you're doing.

I doubt it was your objective but it looks like it's your end result.
There's a lot of new posters in these forums who have done stuff thats screwed with their phones. XDA is brilliant but it's not magic.

Tbh after I'd asked I kinda thought it may be something like that. I'd be gutted if I screwed up to the point of having an unusable phone.

Well... I'm no expert... But it sounds like you bought a phone that is meant to be an upgrade to someone's contract, so it comes paired/tied to that contract's phone number, he/she probably didn't want to upgrade, so they sold it to you... After you reset it, it needs to be set up by the original phone number/sim card it came paired with... So the solution is probably to contact the person you bought it from and explain the situation... See if there's anything they can do to help you...
I bought the G6, and so I gave my G4 to my kid brother after factory resetting it... When he was setting it up... It requested that He would login with the previous google account that was being used on that G4, which was mine... So I had to login, and then he could set up his own account and the phone as his, now the phone is tied to his account... I believe this is an anti-theft prevention or something like that... Only mine was tied to my Google account, and yours seems to be tied to the networks sim card... When you reset the phone with that code... I believe you resetted it to the very original state where it was still tied to the networks no. with which it was supposed to work with... Maybe if you had resetted it from the settings menu, it would still be ok.
Anyway, those are my 2 cents... Hope it helps!

Contact the person you bought it from... And maybe ask if it is possible for you to mail them the phone, so they can set it up with the sim... Then, you'd switch the account... Or take it to an LG support center, and explain the situation, show them proof that you bought it... They can probably wipe it clean... Or you can also try flashing an unbranded network fre .kdz firmware file, that is compatible with your model... That might "detach it" from the original sim card it is requesting... It's worth a try.

Currently I'm another one victim of the same problem, and I'm outside the USA also.
I wish to repeat unlocking of the phone, but I couldn't find the code to show me the window, where I have to input an unlocking code.
2945#*933#, 2945#*71001# or 2945#*20001# do not work for me (no any reaction from the phone).
Does anybody have some more ideas?

Thank you for the reply. Is it something like what lmiked told about, or another action?
Where can I learn about steps I have to perform to do this repeat unlock using Gcpro or an other boxes? I've found that it is the bootloader unlocking tool. So do I need to do some next steps after I have unlocked my bootloader?
Currently I am able to go in phones bootloader and I see the option to reset the phone to its original state (done, does not help) and to flash some files from flash card. But I don't any files to flash.

Where can I find unbranded network firmware file and which tool I have to use to flash it to the device?
You bought a Sprint locked device, this one can only be sim unlocked to work internationally, that unlock is done by Sprint as far as I know.
The bootloader on this phone is not unlockable, and the firmware cannot be changed. You might want you return the phone if the seller told you it was unlockable/etc., because it isn't.
