Well, I was trying a few roms a few days ago and later i decided to go back to stock, I accidentally let the customizations run, and it went back to verizon, but i flashed the 0068 (or something like that) PRL file to the phone using EPST, after that I dialed *228 and updated the PRL to 02004 (latest MetroPCS PRL file), but i still cant use it, (i realized just 5 mins ago, 2 days after prl flashing -_-) I called the customer support just now and they said they just reset the device and I should shut it down and restart it, so anyways my question is:
I can't use my phone, I cant call, text or use web, and no one can call me, it says service not activated when i try to connect to the internet, and I cant use my voice mail either(LA 01 message something error) What should I Do?
Thanks guys.

The only thing that comes to mind would be for the VZW customizations to actually modify more than just PRL (but mess with other EPST settings as well). Just to confirm, did you have your phone working on Metro before this?
yes, it was working perfectly, even the mms and web were working :|
EDIT: I can call *611 and *228, oh wait i think i said that in the first post...

If you had 2.31 installed, the device should still be unlocked. Try running a hard reset/flashing another rom and see if that helps. I have a feeling that you will need to go into EPST and play with your MSID and MIN values and a few other things as well.

I hard reset on stock rom and didn't let the customizations run, then flashed 3.42.30 (alltell rom i think) and with out resetting the device I just put the nfsfan's rom in the sd card and flashed that, it still didn't help, can someone give me the settings for the PST.
Thanks for the reply

3.42.30 is a radio and not an actual rom. My guess would be that, unless you have them stored somewhere else, you will need to call Metro and ask them to help you re-program the phone. Couple of pointers:
a. Don't tell them that you have a Vogue (let alone a Vogue running 6.5) since they have little/no experience with WM devices.
b. Using BAFMSL, get your MSL from your device (you will need this to unlock and edit the EPST parameters. My guess is that you read the ESN to the Metro rep, who calculated an MSL, which of course did not work (here I am assuming that the ESN on your device has been cloned from another phone)).
c. What you want to get out of the rep are the numeric parameters for:
MIN (normally your phone number)
MSID
HomeSID
Don't assume that he/she will be able to guide you through the editing process because they simply won't know how. A simple "yes, go on" every time they tell you to change something will suffice. Just make sure you write the numbers down in a piece of paper.
Do this and get your numbers. If they are any different from the ones that are currently loaded, then your issue will be solved.
Just thought of one other thing. You said you went back to stock Verizon. Which radio did you have before that? And what radio did the Verizon rom take it to?
well, I had it metroflashed, and i can't do it again as i don't have any money now (only 15 years old xD), it has original ESN, does this change anything?
and btw, i can edit the epst, (the code is six 0s) or i may be wrong )

Nah, Metroflash via Houdinisoft does two things:
1. It will add the ESN into Metro's database and will link it to your account.
2. It may provision your phone. I say may because I have seen, more often than not, that Houdini fails to provision any device that runs WM.
Asking you again about the radios. What radio did you have prior to flashing to Verizon stock and what did the stock flash the radio to?

Yes, I was asking because I was afraid that you went below 3.xx.xx on the radio as this has been known to cause issues, including leaving phones completely useless.
Did you get the parameters from Metro as I suggested earlier?
well I got rid of the phone, as the representatives were not helping me at all (I talked to 5) so I am just going to buy a LG rumor touch (virgin mobile) and my other choice is Tmobile G1 but can I get it without a data plan?

Only if you buy it without contract (the G1, that is). Sorry that you couldn't get it to work. I am sure that it was only a matter of re-programming the device.

I bought a G1 from someone off of ebay and he said it doesnt recieve signal. I figured I could buy and maybe fix it. The radio is not updated but they wiped the phone before I got it, so now im stuck at the google account sign in with no service. Does anyone have any ideas or do I just need to call up HTC and send the phone in for repairs?
thanks and God bless
try to go through the process of rooting the phone... That may fix some of the issues
but how can I root the phone if i cant get pass the Google account screen? Ive done the bootloader already...nothing happened....i flashed to crb43...that worked but it still didnt solve anything....ive tried to update the radio to the newest but it says "no signature (5 files)"...verification failed. Is there anything that I can do?

what do you mean can't get passed the account screen?
like you try to sign in and you can't?
If you still can't sign in, try using a different ROM like TheDude's and try bypassing the sign in. Maybe you can get it to the main screen and try running some debugging tools and such.

yea cause i dont have any service cause the phone doesnt get any signal....like thats how i bought it..something is wrong with the radio (i guess)...like i just want to use a different ROM that you can skip the account process on so i can ROOT then try to upgrade the radio to see if it will work....but dont you have to have ROOT in order to flash stuff?

well if you are trying to create an account from your phone with no signal, just to sign up on a computer.
the screen does give you an option to skip the sign in process.
what build are you on?

Only for ADP1
op: Look in the dev forum helpful threads sticky for a link to activating w/o google account. Also, as a previous poster said, you might want to just do the whole rooting process. Downgrading to RC29 will revert both the radio and android build.
The official OTA CRB43 includes the new radio. If that's what you flashed and it didn't help, flashing the radio isn't going to cure your issue.
Haykuro's IonR2 also gives you the option to skip sign in.
hmmm so i guess i just need to call up htc CC and make up some bogus story saying that cupcake fried my radio....cause i cant even get signal...
i actually had 2 bars last night... so i was able to sign inn and use wifi...but it just randomly cut off....and i wiped my phone....without thinking
so i guess ill give htc a call
Lost signal now at RC29 w/old radio
But I cannot figure out how to proceed. I have been rooting modding for a year now and suddenly lost my signal while the phone was just sitting on my desk. loaded recovery still didn't work, went back to RC29 stupidly and now cannot get newer ADP build loaded because I cannot login past account screen and my Adb isn't working because my phone is not recognized via USB. Is there a secret to that pre-account login? Thanks for any help I have a $400 paperwight right now.
You should be able to enable wifi and login to google. I just went through this process since I don't have any service on the sim i'm using in the g1
--fg
what was the selllers name o ebay. i did the same exact thing and when i got it i updated everything and nothing worked.. i sent it in to htc cause it was under warranty. i told them the truth and its been repaired just waiting on fed ex to deliver it. they replaced the main board and antenna wire
similar problem
sorted: the issue was sim card being faulty.
i recently got an old UK G1 from my brother.
It keeps saying 'no service'. I have downgraded it to RC7 for purpose of rooting but it still says 'no service'.
I was able to bypass initial registration process using adb.
The phone is connecting well to wifi. It is also able to search 'available networks' but does not connect with tmobile.
I have asked for another sim card (it will take a few days to arrive) thinking that the problem is related to sim card but could i be wrong?
Is this problem related to hardware?
Is it possible that wifi, bluetooth and searching network works well and still the hardware is faulty?
what are your thoughts?
Ok so I flashed my phone to metropcs but after seeing that this phone needs an steady connection to use it 100% .. I switched to Sprint, so they are going to send me some crappy phone this week, then I will attempt to activate my HTC hero .. take in consideation that I use it in metropcs, will I need to change some settings? Tower ? PRL?
Thanks
Wll i need to Flash to stock?
Your best bet would be to use the RUU here on the site and restore the phone to complete stock so activating it on sprint will not be trouble.
You can try to activate it first but i doubt data etc will work with sprint if it was flashed to metro PCS
will flashing RUU would set everything to default even the settings that i changed in Qpst / ##3282#???
Just RUU it back to sprint, it should restore the prl's and everything else without problems.
Go to the sprint website and do a ESN change to your hero whenever you are ready and click on manual configuration, it'll give you your MSL. You can use that number to restore the phone back to factory defaults. ##786# I believe is the code to reset the phone to factory.
Yeah I just checked. ##786# (Menu) (reset) (msl) ok.
Ok Thanks so much...Last question what RUU should i USE? there are 2 available 1.56.651.2 and 1.29.651.1... I am thinking in 1.56 but I want to make sure.
Ok I flashed to Stock...but It still on metropcs network...How can I configure it for sprint?

reverse the steps you took to configure it for metro pcs you should have took notes on what the stock setting were right
The thing is I did not do it myself.. i took it to a store and they "flashed it"
so take it back to that store and tell them to flash it back
I might do that.. L( do you know the SID NID for Sprint? or the settings? that make a phone be in one network or another?
[REWORDED]
My Phone:
...Make: Dream
...SIM Card: Unlocked
...ROM: CyanogenMod Latest (as of Jan 04, 2010)
...Other Applications Installed: PhoneFusion
...Service Provider: T-Mobile
When Issue Started: 1 week prior
User's Phone:
...Make: Samsung (unknown model)
...SIM Card: Locked
...Service Provider: AT&T
-----
Issue: User cannot call me. It rings once and then disconnects. User can call any other T-Mobile phone in my area. I have no other issues calling or receiving
-----
Troubleshooting steps that have been performed:
...Turn off both phones for 2 hours - fail
...Take out SIM card and put back in - fail
...Kill any call forwarding on phones - fail
...User goes to AT&T store and receives new SIM card and phone - fail
...Checked for possible billing issues or blocked (banned) numbers - fail
...Wiped back to factory defaults (with the original ROM included that had the telnet vuln) and followed the steps to upgrade back to the latest version of CyanogenMod rom - fail
* Fail means it did not successfully resolve the issue of me not being able to receive the user's call
Anymore troubleshooting suggestions?
Maybe the att user cant call tmobile users or their phone is messed up?

dilemma - is a problem offering at least two solutions or possibilities, of which none are practically acceptable.
I would try another rom. As recently as yesterday my friend had a problem with his hero (CDMA) where he was unable to sent a text message to his girl friend. I fixed it by rooting and installing a custom rom.
First, I would unroot and get the tmo OTA update and see if it works (you could also try the custom stock rom with root here if you don't want to.
Second, try a different rom and make sure you don't install any applications.
Third, what SPL do you have, and radio for that matter.
Upgrade to the 26I radio in my sig to make sure it isn't something that easy. Remember, if you flash the nbh file it will downgrade your radio as well.
If all else fails, I would try the 1.33.2005 SPL, be sure you meet the requirements both board type and radio before flashing.
Hey Evilkorn,
Thanks for responding. Ace had posted that comment before I reworded the post. I will admit it was kind of confusion.
I am actually not sure of what I have other than CyanogenMod 4.2.12. Is there someplace I can go to find which version I have. If it would be easier to start from the beginning, as far as rooting and then updating everything from the factory defaults, I wouldn't mind. Time to me is not as important as getting the issue resolved.
I just saw on the homepage of Cyanogenmod.com that they released 4.2.13. Wonder if that would fix my issue. CM Updater isn't finding the ROM update yet so perhaps I should manually download and flash.
only thing I could suggest tell your friend to block the call (*67) and make sure that the caller isnt blacklisted, open the contact and select edit, make sure they arent checked to send call to voicemail
I went through the same thing a month ago, after it was all said and done...By mistake, I blacklisted the friend(which it turns out, can be easy to do if you have "fat fingers" when answering a call lol)
AT&T had thought the same thing. Actually, I just upgraded to 4.2.13 and it fixed my issue. There is a good chance that if I wiped ALT+W and then re-applied the previous .12 CyanogenMOD ROM that that could fixed my issue.
I never really though it was the ROM since I could get a hold of everyone else. How odd.
Thanks for all your help!
I currently have a sprint HTC Vogue and I am trying to flash the Verizon PRL onto it so I can use it on the PagePlus network. Everything I have seen says to dial #775#, but when I do that, my phone just tries to dial the number. I was using NSFAN's rom, and I even tried other roms and it does the same thing. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

Which rom are you using now? If you are flashing a custom rom, more than likely you have a folder called "Phone Codes" somewhere in the Start menu. In there, you will have one that is called PRL. You have to have the MSL code to change this value though.
Get the PRL that you need and dump it somewhere in your phone. When you open the PRL program in phone codes (and you enter the MSL code), simply tap and hold where it says the PRL version and click on "Edit" (or whatever option you get), look for yours, and presto! Save, exit (you will be asked to soft reset).
Hope this helps.
Thanks. I have the MSL. I am flashing the official Sprint WM6.1 rom right now out of desperation, but I can put whatever on there. Do I need a custom rom in order to use the "phone codes" folder?

To get it in folder format, yes. But if you are going for a stock rom, then simply use the codes and you'll be in good shape.

When I flashed my Sprint Vogue for Verizon usage... I first had to flash the newest stock Verizon ROM (You can find it on NuAngel's goodies page at the bottom! Yes the radio change one!), then flash a Verizon PRL to the phone. Nu told me I would have to reunlock the phone afterward, but I didn't need to.
I was then able to dial *228 and program the phone! After the phone was programed, I could finally flash ROMs onto it and still have working service. This phone didn't like NuVogue 5 (even though most of NuVogue's development was done on this phone.. wtf). Nu cooked a Verizon specific NuVogue 5 and it worked a bit better, but I remained on stock until I was able to cook my own build (still working on, I have plans on posting it after conferring with Nu and stealingz some of his ideas).
I can update the phone roaming via *228 only with the stock Verizon ROM (does not work on ANY cooked ROMS I have tried!!), but because the phone still has a Sprint PRI (feel free to message me instructions on switching to a Verizon PRI, cause I haven't found them yet), I get the roaming triangle. I used the latest moded PRL found in this thread here (51831) and I've been great ever since.
I try to avoid Carrier generic ROMs (or cooking my in development "XevRev" [tentative name] as generic) since they reflash the PRL, which is just a pain in the butt imo. I plan on trying NuVogue 6 when Nu and I go to hang at his place sometime this coming week, I want to see if its improved over the previous release on this phone. Can't explain why the release ran so waked out in v5 on this phone..... anyway...).
*links removed because I haven't been validated by the mods. I recommend site admin get a Stop-forum-spam (Google to find since I can't link) plugin for his vB forum. XD It's a lot easier then manually chasing down spam.. trust me.*
So I have been using MetroPCS on my Moto G5 Plus since I got it. Well today I went and activated my device with the Sprint network... It wasn't working when I left the store, and I told the rep how it was modified (using RessurectionRemix 5.8.4 Final), that I would work on setting it up.
Well, so far no success in activating it... Have tried changing network mode to CDMA/LTE and messing around with dialer codes, still can't get anything besides "emergency calls only."
Anyone have experienced getting this phone activated with Sprint?
Note: they did tell me they didn't have the exact, or "recommended," SIM card for my device, and that it was a secondary option they used in the system(?).

I am using that SIM, got it working when I reflashed stock. Did not work again when I restored RR, at least fully, as I was able to get data to work minus SMS/calls.
I'm on Sprint. No issues with any Roms.
You need to be on a stock build for the initial setup, because the custom roms remove all of the PRL stuff. Once it is setup once, flash whatever you want.

It doesn't stick after I flash a custom ROM
That's really odd. I don't have that problem...
Make sure you have APNs on the custom rom. I saw a problem a while back that the custom rom didn't keep the APN for some reason, and I had to put it in manually. Different device, but same problem.

Can you tell me what your APN info is? I have data and calling working now, but no LTE option (see screenshot)
I have mine set to global.
I had this same issue with my s6, and I ended up having to factory reset the phone, and redoing the PRL update, and the option finally came back.
Just to follow up, I was able to get full LTE and calls to work by flashing stock ROM, updating PRL, and by then it was provisioned on the Sprint network.
As it stands now, if I reinsert my MetroPCS sim card, it is provisioned for MetroPCS no problem, but I do have to reflash stock again each time I want to provision for Sprint.
So thats how I am going to run things for now, by making backups and getting it provisioned using stock before restoring.
this worked for me

theres an ap on the play store called apn backup and restore. install it on stock rom . b4 using it u need to go in system/apps and move the apk to system/priv/apps once moved changed permissions to r-w-r-r. after that a quick reboot and open app change setting to disable ics check and do a backup . once finished do the same thing on new rom and mine works flawlessly. im on boost which is also on sprint network. good luck hope this helps
