I have a Verizon 6900 and made a mistake flashing to OMJ.3.09.01.Custom. During the intermediate step when I flashed to the Official Bell rom to update radio, I allowed it to customize and am experiencing problems with the phone. I understand there is no original Verizon rom to roll back to. Anyway out of this situation?
Thanks

If you put your phone in airplane mode then run radiorefurbishe.exe/refurbish through a command prompt then reboot and then do the *228 update option 2 and you should be fine.
How do I access the command prompt to run the radiorefurbish?
bump.. just curious
I did the same exact thing. I successfully restored my phone by doing the following

Afterward you will need to hard reset your phone and use *228. Then probably call Verizon and have them re-authenticate your phone.
I picked up an AT&T (US) Atrix off craigslist that had an issue where it would show 'Sim Unlock' everytime you tried to use a SIM card, even one from AT&T. I purchased a SIM unlock code, but when I entered it, it would immediately report the request was unsuccessful (like it wasn't really sending out the request). I tried three different SIM cards, two from T-Mobile and one from AT&T and always the same issue. The previous owner of the phone had also purchased an unlock code (which matched the one I purchased), and tried to enter it over 20 times.
After digging through all the forum posts, I found two people that had the same scenario and were able to finally resolve it. In both cases, the person was able to fix the "unlockable" phone by flashing the radio (usually through at least two different versions).
The phone I have had standard OTA 2.3.4 (4.5.91) with radio N_01.77.30P. It works fine on WIFI, nothing else is wrong with the phone. It was not rooted nor was it boot unlocked.
Here's what I did to fix it...
I unlocked the boot loader, installed CWM, and rooted it (all stuff from the standard guide in this forum). I then did the following sequence:
1) wipe cache and flashed radio N_01.100.00R_gb_retail_22sep2011.zip
- tried the unlock code, failed immediately
2) wipe cache and flashed N_01.77.33P_can_bell.zip
- tried unlock code and it worked!
3) wipe cache and flashed N_01.77.36P_usa_att_.zip
- just wanted the latest radio
(Radio zips are all available in the forum post labeled 'Atrix RADIOS', http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339047)
Now I am able to use both T-Mobile and AT&T SIM cards without any unlock messages. Phone works perfect!
Also, I think this shows that there is no hard lock on the Atrix. The previous owner entered the unlock code at least 20 times, and I did it probably 10 times, and yet after this process, I was still able to unlock it (with that same code).
Thanks to those who posted their working scenarios in the sea of postings on failures. I would have never resolved this without those nuggets!
P.S. I think you could even fix this issue without boot unlocking/rooting by just using SBF radio flashes, but I wanted to use CWM instead.
Although I never had the problem you experienced, I am glad you posted this. More people need to post how they solved it too. Good job.
MAN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
I OWE YOU MY LIFE!!
Six months with a unlockable atrix ended yesterday!!!
These steps truly work!
thanks again!

The problem is that I have been unable to find these radios anywhere. Every link I have found is broken, as people are generally interested in "the latest and greatest" radio. Does anybody have access to the radios listed above? Especially the N_01.77.33P_can_bell.zip Thanks in advance for any help!
Wow
I just wanted to say thanks for your post I've been going crazy with this whole unlocking situation and your method fixed it!!
cant find the radio... link broken
N_01.77.33P_can_bell
cant find the radio... link broken
Awesome solution
Thanx so much for this solution man. You are a life saver. Hats-off for figuring it out that it will be solved by flashing a radio file. I wonder how you ever thought of that. Brilliant.
Thanks.!
Thanks.
I working excelent.!
Hey all,
So, a little backstory: I got this HTC 10 from Sprint not too long ago, and little did I know that I would be stuck with Sprint unless I reflash the phone firmware. (after research, asking HTC and Sprint, I received misinformation from reps stating that the phone would work on Verizon with just a carrier unlock issued over the air). Moral of the story: don't rely on customer service :silly:.
Fast forward to now, and I have rooted (temporarily to run Sunshine), S-OFF'd (using Sunshine), changed the CID (for Verizon), and flashed the newest Verizon RUU that developer Dottat kindly posted here.
That worked, full LTE, but then whenever the camera or GPS were accessed by any application, the phone would freeze with a black screen (though it seemed something was still running in the background, as notification sounds would still play, and I could exit by pressing the home button and waiting about a minute). After this, I tried flashing the Viper ROM just for kicks, but then the cellular radios only functioned with 3G coverage (no LTE in a coverage area), and GPS was still broken (the camera issue was fixed with this flash for some reason).
Unfortunately (or maybe not), I am pretty sure /system has been wiped multiple times. I also ran
Code:
htc_fastboot erase modemst1
htc_fastboot erase modemst2
after each install of a new ROM, then performed a factory reset from recovery (just a factory reset, nothing more).
Now I went ahead and used an official ROM from HTC's website in an attempt just to get full functionality working on any carrier. I flashed the USA unlocked variant (and changed the CID to BS_US001. MID is still 2PS650000), but now I am experiencing more missing functionality. The camera and GPS are still missing, and now the SIM card is not detected (when entering the access point names dialog, a message pops up stating that there is no SIM, or SIM error when I am using an activated AT&T SIM). When I enter the test menu (*#*#4636#*#*) and select any option for network mode other than what is default (LTE/CDMA), the new option won't 'stick' (it returns to default after a few seconds).
This sounds to me like there is stale firmware on the device from a previous flash, or that the firmware for these core peripherals is corrupt. Is there a way I can get these devices working again? Or am I now stuck with a bricked device ? I do still have a backup I took of what was installed stock by Sprint (all except for /data...but I don't need that partition, right?)
EDIT: Mods, I am terribly sorry! I meant to post this in HTC 10 Q&A. I don't see a way to delete a thread, so hopefully we can move it.

A MOD should move it soon.
I am not the best here, but hopefully can be of some help.
I would just superCID, save a step for flashing RUU's.
So, when you flash the Verizon RUU, does camera work?
(if you RUU and only have 3g, wipe the modems to get 4g back)
If your trying to use the phone on Verizon I would do the following:
1) Change your CID to Super, 11111111
2) Flash the US Unlocked RUU, http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html#unlocked
3) After it fully boots, reboot into the bootloader & flash the Verizon radio, http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-10/how-to/vzw-how-to-unlocked-model-vzw-t3376743
4) Make sure the Preferred Network is set to Global, Settings>Mobile data>Preferred Network
5) Get to the secret menu *#*#4636#*#*, and set the preferred network type to "CDMA/EvDO/GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto"
I use a Verizon model with the US Unlocked firmware. As far as custom ROMs, some work with Verizon's network and some don't. I'm sure theres a workaround but I've stuck with the US Unlocked firmware, and just use Xposed for any tweaks/mods.
If your trying to use it on AT&T and the radio from the US unlocked RUU should work.

I just got an LS997 V20 and so far I'm really liking it.
However, since I'm using it in the UK, I needed to network unlock it. after doing this, I hoped that I could use my simcard, however (as you can see in the added image) it still shows a simcard error. the simcard works, however since in my other phone its being recognised.
I think I read somewhere that the sprint ROM blocks simcards that aren't Sprint. I tried to unlock the bootloader and fastboot, but haven't been able since I accidentally installed the latest updates. is there any solution available or so that can fix it without needing root or the bootloader unlocked? I really want to use this V20 as a phone and not as just a camera and mp3 player
Is there any way to fix it?

If you have updated your phone to August OTA. Then you will be left with no other option than to purchase a sim unlock.

I'm in the same shoes as you..Got my phone updated till August bought a remote unlock but didn't work.
I don't know whether phone unlocks no longer works on LG LS997.
Has antoje found a solution to this? I also have the same issue
i know I posted earlier about a different issue, sorry for spamming the board.
I have a T-Mobile 1+6t with 9.0.15, i have been searching and tinkering all day and am still very confused about how to do this. From what I've seen, it is definitely possible, and every guide i've looked at is very simply laid out but i keep running into issues. Firstly, I have successfully converted to international version using the MSM tool. I thought this would be enough for my sim card to work but it is still not working. Now I am reading a bunch of other things about sim unlock and bootloader unlocking. Sorry but I am a noob at all of this. Can anyone point me in the exact direction in order for me to get my AT&T sim card working in my T-MOBILE 1+6t?
So my information is : TMOBILE 1+6t converted to International, running 9.0.15, and need to get AT&T sim card working.
What Ive done so far: converted to international.
What am I missing?
Before the conversion, you needed to get the carrier unlock code from TMo.
If you have not done that, you need to convert back to TMo firmware, get it unlocked from TMo, use the unlock app to unlock. After that you can flash the international firmware.

is there a way around that? before i converted, i did see the unlock app and tried to use it but it said the device is not eligible. I called t-mobile and they said they'd send me instructions to unlock. But i am not totally sure if the phone is paid off, it was my gf's ex's phone who i don't know and she doesn't want to talk to
Right now i am trying something else - from the guides i've gathered, you need to be on 9.0.11 to unlock the bootloader and need the bootloader unlocked to unlock the sim, so:
I am downloading the files to downgrade to 9.0.11 international, unlocking the bootloader after that, then using this guide to unlock the sim. will this work?
There's no workaround.
If someone stole my TMo op6t and tried to use it in another network, he or she can't unlock it, as I own it and it may not have paid off.
Actually you can follow this guide ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/guide-sim-unlock-t-mobile-version-type-t3915269 ) to remove the Sim lock. In essence you'll convert it to international, erase the two modem files containing the Sim lock info, revert it back to the TMO version. Apply to OnePlus for your unlock token, wait a week to get it, then unlock bootloader. End result is a fully bootloader and Sim unlocked phone. Or if you're not interested in unlocking the bootloader you can skip the last part. You'll still have an unlocked phone.

Hey I actually successfully followed this guide last night and am now typing on my 1+6t international w/ unlocked bootloader + sim unlock. I unlocked the bootloader using a different guide. One question: will updating my phone affect this sim unlock? Because I know you need 9.0.11 to unlock the bootloader, and you need an unlocked bootloader to use this sim unlock guide. I know there is an update available, Is it safe to update?

The Sim unlock sticks permanently, I've updated several times after doing the SIM unlock both on the TMO version and the international version and have had no issues at all. I flipped back and forth between the two trying to decide which I wanted to run. Stuck with the international just for the more consistent updates.
