I have installed at least 2 different roms and still can't fix the dialer bug. The numbers are not recognized by any operator on calls, it just doesn't don't anything.
Does anyone know any solution or at least know how to come back to stock? Razr M unlocked bootloader

Thanks, maybe a last question, If i flash my phone Using RSD lite will it Sim lock for Verizon Only? Mine is a Sim unlocked (Verizon Native) version, i use the phone in SouthAmerica.
Sorry if it is a dumb question, but better be sure

how can i check that? it came i with SIM UL and Verizon official firmware, then i UL'ed the BL and installed severals rom without losing SIM unlock, so i think it is ok
Do you have a contract with Verizon or do you use your phone outside US?

What are the bands used for GSM by your carrier?
The phone is factory SIM unlocked, meaning that it will accept any SIM, but if the bands for your carrier are the same as US GSM, you need to use the method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166542 to open up those bands...
Also, if you haven't already, you'll want to edit your build.prop for GSM use. I'm probably gonna write up a guide on how to do it here eventually so I have an easy link to point to.
Also, FWIW, you won't really get an improvement on stock if you're having connection problems. If anything, stock will lock you down more because Verizon is annoying...

The GSM band used by my Carrier (Virgin Mobile Chile) is GSM 1900, also i've never edited build.prop since the last time i did for illusion ROM and it didnt work, giving me a softbrick.
The problem i'm having right now is the DialPad, it wont work at all in calls, in any Custom ROM i've installed so far... i dont know what am i doing wrong? since i dont see that bug very often over here

wait... what do you mean by dialpad?
Do you mean the dialpad that you can access in-call? Like to "press 1 to continue"?
There should be a button on the bottom-right to access that... just tap it and it will appear

haha yeah i know that, the thing is i can tap them all and nothing will happen, for example: press 1 to access your account ... then i press 1, and nothing... i can actually spam numbers and nothing, its like pressing nothing at all even when i cant literally have my screen full of numbers actually dialed.
I hope u can understand my explanation

If so use keys to get to bootloader & select recovery.

Hi there, new to the forums posting but I read here constantly. I have an sm-900w8 note from Telus in Canada. I was running a custom rom before and decided I wanted to go back to stock before the Kitkat release. Anyway, I flashed the rom from sammobile.com that was for my phone (the link said it was for telus and the file even ends in TLS). So I flash it using odin and everything is perfect, the phone reboots and odin is finished. After that I decided I wanted to clear all my data and apps off the phone as well so I did a factory reset. The next time I turn the phone on everything is working (wifi gps ect) but I can't get on the network and it says I don't have a valid SIM. Also I notice the app packages from telus are not the correct ones and one of them is labelled Bell. So I am guessing the site has the bell firmware for telus as well? This doesn't matter to me but I do need my network running. Do you think it would just be a modem problem? Any information would be GREATLY appreciated guys!

The first and most important question: Do you have a backup of your EFS folder?
If so, you'll be happy. If not, prepare for the worst case scenario.

Seems you have installed a carrier FW on your device and it has SIM LOCKED it. try flashing another.
EDIT: @donalgodon - it's only really EFS when it boot loops and shows Android process not responding etc :good:

Well, that's not exactly accurate. The phone can boot with a corrupted EFS, but you will get no network access (and no IMEI number.)
It's happened to me, so I know it's possible. It's a common symptom of the OP's issues on Samsung devices.

Yeah I am sure I'm not in dire straights yet and lucily I have my backup phone to use for now. I am wondering though, sammobile is the most legit source for stock firmware around, do you guys have any suggestions? Or can I possibly even try just flashing a new modem through odin? (I have never done this but seems easy enough)

True, however, OP states that it was Telus FW that was downloaded and flashed...but it's showing BELL.settings, So the probability of it being EFS is low, it's sim locked the device via the BELL firmware more than likely. Reflashing the correct or unbranded firmware will indeed fix it

Well Sammobile isn't immune to mistakes, but it's rare it happens, they're genuine enough.. You could try the modem, first thing I'd do is test the back up and see if it's the downloaded ROM that has cause the issue.
And yes, you can flash the modem via Odin.

Carrier: T-Mobile

If there is written Bootloader unlock allowed: YES, then you can proceed futher for bootloader unlock proccess,
If there is written Bootloader unlock allowed: NO, then your bootloader is hard-locked and you can't unlock it, it's impossible to make it unlockable.
If there is written Bootloader unlocked: YES, then congratulations, you've unlocked your bootloader!
If your status is YES and you want to get tutorial, how to unlock it, quote my message and I'll reply regarding your question.
Hope I helped
The C6606 has a non-unlockable bootloader. You can look in the service menu as explained above, but it's definitely permanently locked.

Well that was a waste of $130 then. What about root, recovery and ROMs? Any hope for that?
Got rooted by using TowelRootv3, now to see if TWRP can be installed and such. I'm guessing the locked bootloader just keeps me from flashing kernels on this phone right?

You can use XZDualRecovery.
Yes, you're correct. You cannot flash custom kernels so can't flash any custom rom that requires a custom kernel, such as CM, AOSP etc.

Data and wifi are fine. I've never used wifi calling since I have unlimited talk and text and have cell service most of the time and don't really care when I don't and wifi is not available when I have no cell service. I know I no longer have wifi calling apps or what not. I finally have no t-mobile junk on my phone. It is nice.

Thanks for the input, guess I will check that ROM out. Been trying to get a recovery installed to no avail.
His ROM has TWRP in it. Install XZDual Recovery, back everything up and follow his instructions. I like his ROMs the best because there is no need to flash the kernel separately. My last Z bricked its self about 3 reboots after flashing a stock kernel with the flashtool.

Nope. Your ROM version is android 4.3 right now. Flashing the new ROM will update the necessary stuff. On first startup you might see messages like updating NFC drivers and so on.

Hmm. I never needed flashtool. If you are rooted I believe there is one that you download the app, install it and have it install the recovery.

Ill look for the one I am talking about when I get up if you have not found it by the. It will be in the dev area here.

Don't worry about it, get some rest. I got everything going now. Just needed the ADB files (not fastboot) and I got recovery installed, making a backup and will be flashing shortly. Thanks again for all your help man!
This is why I asked about data. After flashing the ROM, I had no data at all. I didn't know I had to manually add the APN myself.
Also, none of those ROMs contain a radio that has a baseband that allows T-Mobile LTE. If you're on T-Mobile, you're stuck with 3G or H+. So it looks like I'll be sticking with stock from now on.

Hello guys and girls. I successfully unlocked the bootloader of my SM-G900V and now I'm on the most smooth CM ever.
I live in Brazil, and here we don't have the LTE bands that the Verizon's S5 uses. So I tried unlock additional bands using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059.
Guess what? Didn't work.
It occurred to me that the problem could be the modem firmware, so I tried to flash modem from the others variants, and.... nope. ODIN's flash fail, and the download mode screen says "SECURE CHECK FAIL: modem" (something like that).
I almost made an attempt to flash using dd, or recovery, but decided to ask first.
Honestly it's hard to find a flashable zip of any version of modem.
I already made a backup of modem partition, in case of anything goes wrong.
The only LTE band I need is the 7.
My questions are:
Does anyone tried this before?
What is the risk to flash a modem firmware from other variant using dd/recovery?

Unfortunately it will not work. I've already tried before unlocking the bootloader. I'm now on CM13, and they does not have a hidden menu, only stock firmware (or port). Plus, when I accessed the menu on stock firmware, the B7 option said something like "not supported". Probably because the software is modified by Verizon.

Some clarification: Galaxy Tools by Idoneapps is a tool for changing various APN and hidden settings on the S5. I couldn't find an official link, but I have a direct link to the AndroidFileHost download. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347804710
You can probably find the band and APN settings yourself easily enough, but I'll do some experimenting and update when I find the options. It isn't the easiest UI.

Yesterday I tried to flash modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin from another device using "dd". The flash was ok, and the device did turn on without problems.
I tried the baseband of these three devices: SM-G900M, SM-G900P and SM-G900T.
But... no LTE for me.
I'm still looking for a way to do this.
I have the Verizon varient and was able to set the APN to exactly to what my unlocked moto x pure is. It works perfect with at&t.........so far. I guess it's all about the APN since the sim is unlocked.
Hello, my G4 Plus reads IMEI 0 when *#06# in ROM, but I can read the correct IMEI from fastboot getvar imei and can see my correct IMEI in /proc/config/imei. Any help to restore my IMEI is appreciated, I will be happy to provide and test any information as needed.
Also, I can connect to my carrier, but I cannot use voice, data, or SMS. Sometimes it drops to no service.
Would anybody happen to know how to enable RNDIS + DM + MODEM mode on the G4?

At least if all fails you have a so much better chance being in the US; you could resort to service centers to change board. I don't have that option.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If so I'd go to TWRP and flash the stock 93-14 N backup that's floating around somewhere on XDA.
Also, make sure to flash the radio and fastboot corresponding to your stock ROM version.
If you don't fix your phone though I'll take it

Hello, my G4 Plus reads IMEI 0 when *#06# in ROM, but I can read the correct IMEI from fastboot getvar imei and can see my correct IMEI in /proc/config/imei. Any help to restore my IMEI is appreciated, I will be happy to provide and test any information as needed.
Also, I can connect to my carrier, but I cannot use voice, data, or SMS. Sometimes it drops to no service.

Did you make a imei backup Image the first time?

I think the IMEI isn't erased. I had the same issue last month. There are different types of firmware(custom roms are based on them too) and they doesn't notice the IMEI If you flash the wrong one. So I would recommend to flash the right and if you do not know the right, try every (I suggest to test the Indian one first. In most cases it is the solution).

Unfortunately no, I didn't know of such a backup method at the time.

When you say 93-14 N do you mean the Nougat ROM or a firmware for the modem?

Yes, the N ROM that can be restored through TWRP.
By all means, also try flashing stock Nougat through fastboot.

I have a Nougat OTA waiting for me on stock. Will that be sufficient?

I'm in the same boat as you dude, I've tried everything from flashing non-corrupted HW partitions to flashing a whole lot of old custom roms to see if I can get my IMEI.
Check this thread for more information, some things may work for you: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/help/moto-g4-pluss-model-changed-to-g4-lost-t3496912

That's not good idea to flash all available firmware. It can be old firmware and flashing old firmware (downgrade) can damage lots of things on your device.
First tell us which device you have and if your your phone is g4plus and not changed to normal g4. FingerPrint working correctly ?
Try "fastboot getvar all" command check if it shows your IMEI somewhere, and post result here. ( if it shows IMEI, then tell us and remove it and post.)

In my case I flashed all firmware included in android 6 (it's stock) from a custom android 7 build. I know it's an old thread but I'm still open to suggestions and hoping to fix this.
To make more sense, I downgraded from 7 to 6.
