Hi, guys im having some issues and would like some expertise. Okay so i have an s4 the model is m919v but the model is unrelated to the problem. I was running custom roms and have been for a few months and i have a phone that has a locked sim. I heard from someone that i can flash an older version of my modem and get the service menu to unlock... point is i did it and it didnt unlock BUT THATS NOT MY ISSUE. I decided to then revert to stock because my phone was being really glitchy after i tried the unlock. Now i restored my phone and got a custom recovery installed a custom rom that was working flawlessly before is now also being glitchy the same way after i tried to unlock it,
These are some glitches im experiencing:
1) phone app is taking a long time to load and it doesnt type in numbers fast
2) when i call someone it just freezes and i cant go to the call screen
3) no notification sounds coming from my phone it just vibrates but doesnt ring
and im sure a few more
IM SURE THESE HAPPENED AFTER I WENT INTO THE SERVICE MENU AND TRIED TO UNLOCK MY DEVICE.
Someone please tell me what i can do to fix this because ive already reverted to stock once.

I would Odin back to stock firmware. Start over with a fresh install of the latest stock firmware available for your device. Then root, install recovery & backup stock rom so if something weird happens you can restore back. Once this is done, then it makes since to do a custom rom. Good luck.
i have searched for several hours now about 12 for a fix and this makes no sense to me so i'm thinking this thread may help or just piss people off idk how forums work any way
after installing this lollipop ROM(link) everything was working perfect very smooth very few bugs almost perfect. i flashed back to unrooted stock after this and now i do not have an imei or a network but i can use my data..... i have tryed the following fixes
1. turn it off and then back on again.....
2. re flash the stock rom with odin
3. use efs professional backup then restore with adb
if i go back to the lollipop rom that i tested i have back the network but my wifi will not work on this rom -.- very confused about what is going on and do not want to risk re flashing the radio if that will brick it
any ideas?
Hello so I flashed a rom and it decided to put me in a bootloop after trying everything couldnt fix it and i really didnt want to lose a chance of getting my pictures back etc so i made a backup even though i had a bootloop so i then restored and flashed rom again and was fresh again, Then tried restoring to the backup and went to a bootloop again which i expected is there any way to get my files back really need the pictures sentimental value..
Im sorry if whatever i said or did is not smart I checked everywhere but couldnt find a direct solution so wanted to try here. Thanks in advance!
if you changed bootloader & Modem then try stock bootloader & Modem.
Hello everyone.
N910W running stock Samsung firmware, 5.1.1 Lollipop.
I had my phone rooted a few months back and decided I wanted to try a Marshmallow rom. I created a backup of my pre-rooted device a few days prior, so I wasnt worried.
The rom I flashed for some reason would not allow me to use my carriers network, but only other networks. So i restored my unrooted backup.
Now whenever I try to root my phone, I get a bootloop. Every method I've tried so far (TWRP flash and ODIN, pretty much) has produced similar results. I could find the original samsung firmware for the device and flash it over and start from scratch, but I don't want to lose my data if I don't have to.
Halp. Send halp.
thanks guys.
P.s. i tried using the search, but this is either a unique problem or the search bar sucks.
Hi guys. I very narrowly (somehow) managed to recover from almost bricking my phone.
I successfully S-Off'd my phone, and previously successfully installed TWRP. I tried to install this ROM:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...m-perfumewl-m60-dev-edition-unlocked-t3442969
When I tried the to flash the ZIP for firmware and for the ROM, the firmware wouldn't install. I tried some other stuff and basically almost bricked my phone. Some how got it to suddenly start being able to use the htc_fastboot commands (????????) and was able to start installing the zip for stock... but it ran an error, I ran it again and it froze... then I forced my phone to reboot and somehow I'm back to having a stock system. No clue what I did.
My question is, can I take a software update on my phone normally (to 7.0) , and then install just that ROM? Or so I need to flash the firmware separately with a command line command? I just don't want to give myself another heart attack tonight. Current firmware version is 1.82.605.6, not rooted, don't believe my recovery is TWRP right now (but I know how to install that one).
I'm just looking for root access and the ability to remove pre-installed Verizon crap (VZW Messager, My Verizon, etc). Thanks guys.

I recommend you install this one instead:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...m-1-85-605-9-aroma-root-root-debloat-t3529732
Follow instructions in OP...or:
1)fastboot flash FW w/o Boot w/ TWRP (htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU, fastboot flash zip...)
2)htc_fastboot reboot-bootloader
3) Finally, go into recovery-- backup and flash ROM (choose root w/ Magisk and debloat)
Thanks, I figured out why it wasn't working before. Used official TWRP, thats why it wasn't working. Wouldn't have thought that'd made that much of a difference.
New problem though; something I really would like to use the Google versions of contacts and dialers. Trying to flash those just made my phone app unusable. So I turned to LineageOS but it REFUSES to boot. Hangs on their little vertical line with a moving circle. Found out AOSP roms don't like VZW firmware? Flashed global firmware, updated through WiFi as much as possible, and then ran into issues with radio, even though I flashed the VZW one. So I reverted those changes, am going through with what you said above to have a working phone (after not having one all day), but any advice on getting Google dialer and contacts? I'd like to use LineageOS but I couldn't get it work at all.

You've got to read OPs, search threads, etc. Some ROMs work w/ our phone, and some do not. Check out the latest versions of ice and leedroid. Your most likely want to grab the SVN versions is the official versions may not yet support Verizon N firmware

I have been doing a lot of searching, but I've found so many different, conflicting sources of information. For example, one website told me to install LineageOS, was to be on latest Verizon OTA and just normally flash it; that obviously didn't work.
So from what I can see, our choices are Viper, Ice, LeeDroid, NuSense and the one you linked. I'm going to try out LeeDroid... out of curiousity, is there any reason, for example, LeeDroid or Ice haven't posted in this Verizon section with links to their ROMs?
*Edit Two* Dialer wouldn't work out of the "box" so to speak, so I had to go to Phone settings at the bottom, there is a menu called Calling Accounts. Had to go there and tap Receive Incoming Calls... why is that disabled in the first place..? But that seems to be an issue going even as far back as the Nexus 5. But that's how you find the option in the HTC 10 for anyone who comes across this issue too...
Not sure why your having issues with the flashing. Are you doing a full wipe? Not just factory reset. Going from stock to lineage requires a complete format of internal SD card. On the stock roms, most will ask if you are still on marshmallow firmware & are working fine. Again, we need more info on what firmware version your on, version of twrp& how your wiping your device. Most AOSP roms work, but no advanced calling
LOS ROMs will work without issue IF you have flashed the US unlocked firmware at some point in time. This is the only information that we have found from a VzW device with LOS booting and VzW device without. We started a thread awhile ago and is the only known method we currently know of to get LOS booting. Also works for Sprint users.
