I tried everything I could before coming here.
Today, phone was working fine. Decide to root and install cyanogen. I used Odin and installed CWM. I then made a back up of my rom with CWM. I used a dual boot type thing to keep the stock rom along side cyanogen. After getting installing new rom and gapps I see my phone is roaming. I try calling *228 to activate it. I press 1 and they say my phone can't be activated at this time. I go back into my stock rom, and its still roaming. *228 does the same thing. I restore from my backup. Still roaming. I now have done a factory reset and still have the problem.
tl;dr I can't connect to my phone network.
This is a us cellular phone/network. I noticed when I call anyone including the *228 it says verizon wireless. I don't know if that means anything

Hi everyone,
Just switched to 3 Mobile UK from Virgin with my Droid Pro and having a very random issue ... I cant make any calls. I can receive calls, write sms, receive sms, use the internet - the whole lot, but I am just not able to make any calls whatsoever! What happens is that when I dial, you can see the seconds counting up sometimes, but there is no sound whatsoever. I popped the SIM into my old HTC and that works just fine. I was wondering what the issue was for that?? I am trying to force the phone to stay on 3G only as I feel that, even though I have UMTS only selected in settings, it wants to make calls using 2G which 3 (being an all-3G network) obviously doesnt support. Any ideas of what the issue could be?? I started playing around in the hidden ##program menu but there is no option to play around with GSM settings, only pointless CDMA/EV-DO stuff ...
Anyone got an idea? I should say that I am running the latest OTA Gingerbread ..
P.S. It also crashes when trying to make a call .. just FYI
Why dont you flash back to Froyo 3.8.7 and see if the updated Radio image from Gingerbread has not spoilt anything in the phone?.
But be careful and do not do the mistake I did. First go to recovery, restore froyo backup and then flash sbf. That should have you booting in less than 10mins. If you do not restore froyo through recovery then RSD will not recognize your phone. Even if it does it will not flash the SBF.
All the best. Report back.
I think that 3 have an agreement with some competitive carriers to use their networks when a 3g signal is not avaialble. Maybe you phone sees this as roaming. It's a long shot but try turning roaming on. You never know.
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA App
I just really wish there were some more options to play around with the basebands on the Droid Pro ... now I have resorted to doing a factory reset and starting fresh, and now the damn thing cant even get any signal whatsoever ... When looking for available networks i am only able to find the normal 2G networks (Orange, voda, O2 and T-Mo).
Right ... so using Recovery, u mean the mode you enter using the update.zip?

P.S.: There is so many ways of doing this .. could you point me to a guide that worked for you? Also, could you go into detail when you mean to restore the froyo backup. When flashing the updates I didnt make any backups if thats what you mean. The Recovery mode also only shows a few options like wiping cache, data, applying update and so on ...

What i meant was to restore a nandroid backup from ClockworkMod. It is the droid bootstrap you install. You go into that restore froyo backup and then pull battery. Then click RSD on your computer load sbf and connect your phone by holding volume key to enter bootloader. Once this happens the sbf will flash then you can easily boot to froyo. If there is a problem in booting then just pull battery again and enter stock recovery by holding keys R+M and powering the phone and do a data wipe. Let me know how this works.
If these dont work then we can try to flash radio images from other motorola phones. I remember flashing an India radio image for my defy when I came to India and then going back to europe radio image when I went back to europe. It should work however that will be a last option.
Hey.. well I guess 3 just wont work with that phone, the limited settings for GSM/UMTS make it virtually impossibile for force 3G calling and disable 2G. I am switching back to T-Mo where I know it will work...
What happened was, that due to my extensive modifications to ##program settings, rooting and some GSM apps I was running, my phone decided to pack up yesterday morning and give me the red M of evil -- so I went thru the whole process of sbf flashing and now I am back on a 3.8.7, after updating from 2.26.2. Maybe you can explain just for better understanding what the benefits are of doing the restore thru bootstrap as you explained?
I recently try to flash golden eye (tmobile) rom to my samsung galaxy s4.
I used this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363523
however once i finish flashing the rom I realize my internet connection kept dropping so I try calling tmobile to make sure if that area had coverage. Well there came another problem...I could not make calls not even to customer service. Then my brother told me he was calling me and it kept going to voicemail.
So I used clockwork mod recovery to install goldeneye.
After this issue I used odin to install the stock firmware and then I re rooted the phone to install triangle away and delete my counter and repeated the process by using odin to install stock firmware to unroot my phone.
And I am still having the problem of not being able to make or receive calls and worse my internet connection drops. :crying::crying::crying::crying:
How can I fix this problem the phone load regular just my connections to my network is not there
I had an issue with Alliance rom. It went from wifi to 4g and I lost the prl and other stuff (said unknown). I only had wifi.
I was able to Odin back to stock. It took like three times as it would not move past the activation screen.
Now, on stock, I flashed TWRP recovering using ODIN, then used the CF root from Odin also. Phone restarted and while I have the 4g logo, I have no phone and the information is missing again (PRL). I do get wifi.
I just used Odin to reflash stock and it is still doing it. I also used the imei tool to restore what I had backed up (EFS). Can anyone help? What is going wrong?
Edit: Phone restarted with root BUT now I cannot make calls (it says roaming) and I am missing the prl and other things again. HOWEVER, I can use wifi, and 4g and no texting also.
If anyone has a clue I'd like to know, thanks.

I actually could not find the stock modem. I DID solve it.
1.) Odin back to stock. It will freeze on the activation screen.
2.) Remove sim card after shutting down.
3.) It will get past that and connect with wifi.
4.) THEN clock on roaming to turn it on with sim in.
5.) Phone will then contact US Cellular to "activate and program." It will finish after a few minutes.
6.) Restart and enjoy
In case this happens to anyone else. Thanks for the help (lol). I've had a Droid Eris, HTC DNA, and a Droid Bionic.
Hello,
I have an international version Nexus 6p. While I was in Panama I accidentally removed the OS using TWRP, after rooting. I reinstalled the latest OS, TWRP, root, and used a custom ROM. I was dumb and didn't back anything up.
I couldn't make phone calls or access the internet with my phone on the network I used there, but I could with WiFi so I chalked it up to the ROM. Removed that and did a fastboot factory reset. I still couldn't make phone calls or receive them so I figured it was the network in Panama.
When I got home I still can't make or receive phone calls. I can text, and access the net but the service is very unstable. I am using cricket wireless, and I know it's not the service because the Sim was in my gf's iPhone and worked perfectly, and my friend has cricket and his is stable and works perfectly. I am running the latest Android 7.1.2 and would love some help with this issue.
I have tried flashing a new factory image, erasing modemst1 and 2 through fastboot, changing bands, using a different Sim card, factory resetting in general.
I have not tried another ROM (read somewhere that chroma would fix the issue, but don't really wanna jump back to 6.0.1 unless I have to).
Thanks for any help.
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(?).

You need to get the Sim card part # that ends in 446c. I got mine at best buy for 10 bucks and it's currently working well with Sprint.

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
