Ready to sell this phone... tried everything I know how to try... Dev Edition Verizon S5, CAN'T UPGRADE from stock NCG. The most I can do it root... any ROM I flash is nonfunctional on Verizon's network with NO SIGNAL. Replaced SIM, flashed modems, etc etc... I think I'm just not sure how to do it with a dev edition... seriously feel like I'm missing a step. Would like to start from scratch. Does anyone have a stock image of a G900V Dev Edition I could work from, since I'm starting to think the one I've been working from is somehow the incorrect version. Thanks!

I would but I'm trying to avoid locking the bootloader, if possible. Didn't intend on having a developer device, but now that I do, I'd like to try to maintain it's use as one. Bought this phone on swappa, seller didn't give any indication that it was a developer device. Now I'm concerned he did something to it prior to selling that is causing me difficulties. I don't think I should be having these network difficulties, but there could very well be something I'm supposed to be doing with the modem that I'm just unaware of. I figure if I can get back to the way this phone was when it was new (when the original seller bought it) I'd at least have a clean slate to work with.

I don't think so, but thanks... I think that's the same device firmware that the retail version comes with, which will lock my bootloader. I've actually considered just flashing it anyway and saying the hell with an unlocked bootloader, since I didn't really intend to have one to begin with and apparently there's nothing I can do with it, anyway (none of the unified builds work on my device, anyway) but this is a last-ditch effort to preserve it if i can, and I'm hoping some dev will be willing to help me diagnose my problem.

It's not like there's a ton of development going on for Dev edition. I'm loving the retail version of the phone just rooted and running some Xposed. Like it so much, I went out and got one for the wife too and I paid full retail for both to keep my old unlimited data plan. Hers I just left out of the box stock. Will be interested to see how Lolipop looks when it drops to her phone. Sure hope we keep root with Lolipop, I use the heck out of my hotspot, to the tune of about 70gb/mo ...

I'm far from a developer, but this may help. I also bought the phone without realizing what it was I was getting into and had similar problems flashing the Optimal rom on my dev edition s5. I could flash but phone would hang on the activation screen with no signal. I eventually succeeded. As near as I can recall this is what I did:
I dirty flashed Beantown 4.4.4 rom (twrp) over my 4.4.2 stock firmware. then flashed n12 firmware (included stock kernel, and modem) from dev edition make an update .tar thread (odin) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56604757&postcount=2). I did a factory reset after flashing. Switched to art. Flashed optimal with clean reset, but did not flash kernel. Later flashed koontsez 4.4.4 kernel. Still running Optimal
Good luck.

Had marginal success using this method... Have been able to maintain a 3G signal, but no LTE after first boot. Rather, when I first booted, I had LTE and thought I was good, but since my first reboot, I can only get 3G and nothing I do can get it back so far.

This happened after I flashed the update.tar (with aboot.mbn removed) and I have note gotten LTE back. Is there something I can do with my aboot.bak that I'm missing?

Newer ROMs don't seem to have the correct settings for the Ting APN. Make sure the network type is strictly CDMA/LTE and in particular that the APN Type is set as both DEFAULT and as mms (default, mms).
Hey guys, hoping someone can help me out here.
I'm on the "Ting" cell network using an LS980. Resurrect Remix ROMs worked well for me up until the 5.3.8 update (5.3.7 was the last version that still gave me cell data). The new 5.3.9 also causes issues and the SIM card even completely locks itself at times as it attempts to contact the network.
I just installed the latest Blisspop nightly ROM and am having the same issue. I know that older LiquidSmooth ROMs were also working properly for me aafter I used one of them as a Plan-B from Resurrect.
If anyone has any ideas as to what the issue could be please let me know. I'm going to try tinkering with my radio files soon and see if I get anywhere.
Bumping. sorry but this is getting really frustrating. I tried flashing the ZVC and ZV8 modems and it didn't make a difference.
ZVC modem actually crashed my phone (running Blisspop 2.2 latest nightly, stock kernel, TWRP 2.7.x recovery) after attempting to flash the ZVC modem without clearing the cache/dalvik afterwards.
I've now restored my phone to factory, stock ZVE ROM and rooted using StumpRoot. I'll be putting on the TWRP recovery soon.
If anyone has any ideas as to why I'm having radio/modem/signal problems on any Resurrect ROM past 5.3.7 and with the new Blisspop please let me know. I really want to get back on a non-bloated, up to date ROM.
>tfw
Bumping again. My phone is actually having a few other odd issues now after having to go back to stock with the ZVE .tot and re-rooting/recovery...
I'm still mostly concerned with the data signal though. I'll sort the rest out myself.
PLS SUM1
Ayyyyy Lmao
previous to this day everything had been running smoothly, but now since i flashed the 39a bootstack to try out a new 5.1 rom on my vs980 i seem to have lost my LTE connection. how would i correctly repair this? i head flashing a stock rom would repair some sensors, would i leave the 12b bootstack on it, flash a stock build, then flash back to say, beanstalk? previously running liquidsmooth but they seem to have taken their lollipop builds off the server...
I have the same problem - flashed Cloudy ROM, kdz back to stock but now I don't have 4G. I'm about to just try a new SIM card and see if it went bad, because I saw LTE for one day a few weeks ago and this all happened back in January. I've reset APN's and did all of the tricks but no luck so far
Literally just got it to work a few minutes ago. As of this morning had NO service whatsoever, ended up flashing the rooted 39a lollipop stock I found here in the forums. I had to remove my sim card, boot the phone, then restart it with the sim card in place to get back to working order
So do you think it was a bad baseband or bootstack? Or just a faulty download from the start?
might be a baseband issue, but then again i havent really gotten a solid answer from anyone.
and just flashed to AoD rom tonight and lost LTE again. maybe it has something to do with aosp incompatibility? i know there have always been issues with cdma network of verizon, maybe it came back fresh with the lollipop update.
and i despise the stock roms... i would not be happy if thats the only way to fix this.

If you haven't try dialling *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone information and in the drop down menu select the proper mode for your carrier. Worked for me on VS980 using T-Mobile

Can you share the settings you use with Tmobile? I just flashed the 27A kdz and getting connectivity issues with Tmobile.
I have read a fair amount here, but I'm not getting entirely relevant info and am hoping for some help.
I THINK I have finally found the place for stock roms. sammobile.com???
Now a bit of background.
I bought this phone used a few days ago. When I had a look, it is already rooted, which I'm fine with.
It is running 4.4.2. I'd like to upgrade to 5.0.x. Gotta friend with the same model. That's what he recommends.
I can live with 4.4.2 if I have to, meaning if I can't upgrade.
Since this is new (to me) I can live with losing all user data. Only thing is my wifi password is long and random and a pain to type in, but that is about all I'll suffer.
I had removed some apps using debloater, mostly just to see, but have since restored them. Then tried to update, got the message, which essentially says "you've got a custom rom. No updates for you".
I know the phone is unlocked, but not sure if factory or by unlock code. Does it matter, and if so, how can I tell?
I know the previous owner had a fido sim, and I noticed some bell apps on here. If I've read correctly, that doesn't guarantee this was originally a bell phone. Is there any way I can tell? Right now I have no sim. I can shove in an old speakout sim that is deactivated.
So anyway

I've downloaded ODIN, but not a ROM yet, since I'm not positive who's I should use.
Also, I had gone thru the guide to enable AWS. That seems to work, as it would take the sim at the wind kiosk. I'd like to keep that, but if I have to redo it, that is fine.
I trust it is not a good idea to upgrade to a "stock" 5.0.x by just flashing roms?
Thx for any help.
ok, another question. I just registered at sammobile, but they don't seem to have roms for the S4??? Are they hidden somewhere? Where can I get stock roms, if not there? Thx
Nevermind. You have to type in the device name. It just isn't on the pulldown list.
Another question you might find stupid.
If I update to (for example) the Bell Roms, do I have to have a valid Bell sim in order to do an update?
Well maybe 2 stupid questions.
I still have to use triangle away for flashing back to 4.4.2 don't I? I read somewhere that they (meaning Samsung) expected the count to be > 0 at some point but I don't remember at what version, and I can't seem to find it again.
So what do you guys do? Flash it a couple of times to get the count right?
If the phone is sim unlocked, it should remain permanently unlocked regardless of whether you flash custom or stock ROMs.
The easiest way to get to stock LP would be to flash the stock LP rom via Odin from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-I337M/
Before the first boot with the LP ROM, the phon should be factoru reset via stock recovery.
Doesn't really matter whether you flash Bell, Rogers, or Telus. The hardware used by all 3 carriers is the same. The only difference would be in the apps that are installed with each stock ROM.

I think I have reflashed properly. I'm downloading the update (probably to 5.0.1??) via phone now, but I noticed after I started that I have the warning triangle. So maybe the update will not install when it is done. I'll know in a couple of hours I guess.
So I should have run triangle away BEFORE the reflash? Or are you no longer supposed to run that? Or is there some android version after which you are no longer supposed to use it?
Thx
Well, phone seems to have updated to 5.0.1, which is what I wanted. With the update, the warning triangle is gone also.
So thanks again for your help. I guess I'll be on to other things here.
I'm really going to die soon. I spent the whole day trying to restore my IMEI as I don't have the original box (bought it second hand just the phone alone) and did not have EFS back up prior to flashing.
So, the whole mess was when I flashed Dorimanx for D800 instead of my variant which is D805 (my careless mistake, the title of the page was really confusing). Ever since, I lost my IMEI is shown as 0 or null so does my baseband. I then flashed ResurrectionRemix, PowerG2, etc. but still unable to get any mobile network connection.
I've tried reverting to stock KitKat firmware but to no avail. I've flash other modems as well with no success. I've even tried the QST NvManager switching from Windows 10 to 7 and re-installing the USB drivers numerous times still no luck. I followed so many forums and watched endless youtube tutorials none of them can fix my problem.
I'm really desprate, please help me.
how can the tile be confusing.? even qhen you go to download page theres all the variants. was kernel really the culprit of this.? am not really sure that kernel would damage imei and baseband i think flashing bootloaders do. twrp wrong rom. ect. you should post this in the q&a thread. i know some have restored imei.

Dear @raptorddd
Thank you for your feedback and I'm sorry. I did not blame the kernel as in whole context but rather my careless mistake and take note I suspected my problem was flashing the kernel for the wrong model variant so it was not actually Dorimanx's issue, no offense I even admitted my wrong-doing.
Anyway, after reading your reply at least there is a light to my answer. I will do some more research on bootloaders for my exact variant because most of the threads found here are for D802 International while mine is Brazil (Latin America) although I'm from SEA.
I was very happy when I see 6.0 MM on this frakenstein device but now I have this network problem making me sad. It's like having an old car with a new engine but no wheels. Please help.

I don't know how a kernel can wipe your imei. Have you changed roms succesfully before? Have you used ioroot on it? Ioroot makes efs backups automatically. That would help.

@raptorddd @Art Vanderay
I figured out. My phone is actually the D802 variant. It is obviously shown at the back of the case and when I open the back case, the model number is also printed just underneath the battery D802. I thought it was D805 because when I bought this phone it was already rooted and running PowerG2 and the model shown at the About page was D805. This is why I started looking for stock firmware for D805, TWRP D805, Dorimanx D805, and everything D805. So, when I downloaded ResurrectionRemix 6.0 MM, that was when my phone started to act weird but I'm very sure it was not RR issue as well. I wipe all my partitions without making any backup just before I started flashing things. I've done this 1000 times with no problem and this is the only time I got it wrong. I've tried flashing the bootlader changer aroma, then KitKat bootloader stock and still no IMEI, the phone number shown as unkown. I now got back my baseband because I flashed the KitKat baseband.
I'm going to start all over again today, and I'm getting all the files for D802 instead and will let you guys know if I can restore my IMEI back. Thank you for your participation on my thread, very much appreciated.

I'm sorry, I have a soft-bricked phone right now with no spare phones, so I don't have WhatsApp at the moment but thank you really for your effort and offer. Can you explain on the forum instead of TeamViewing so others that have this problem and reading this thread can solve theirs? +1 for you.
YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I FOUND THE ANSWER ALREADY. Please ignore the caps, this is just to show you how happy I am.
I've spent approximately 48 hours to figure what the heck is going on.
What I did was:
1. Flash stock firmware Brazil KitKat D805 .kdz through LG FlashTool 2014.
2. Use ioroot25 to root it via adb.
3. After rooting, download AutoRec.apk for KitKat and install that.
4. Download TWRP bumped latest and flash it to replace AutoRec's old version of TWRP.
5. Flash Dorimanx KitKat 10.9 (at the time of this post) or latest.
6. Flash KitKat stock baseband and modem for 20d.
After rebooting system, everything is ok. I got back my mobile network now. So happy!!! I'm requesting the moderator to close this thread as my question as been solved.

I'm not sure also. The back case written as D802 and just below the battery also written as D802. But when I tried to go back to stock I was unable to use D802 firmware but only can use D805 stock firmware. I'm now on Google Edition 1.3 the model is written as D802. When I try to flash stock D805 firmware I can't get through already. Im not sure why but as long as I can use the phone right now, I don't want to bother so much about that.

So far, Google Edition 1.3 is the best/stable among all other ROMS that I've tried like Power G2, RR, etc. Nice battery life, 100% in the morning and came back from work still have another 30%-40% (usage mainly for WhatsApp, Facebook, internet browsing occasionally, no movie/music/games-just COC once or twice). This is the most straight-forward ROM and the closest to Stock Lollipop from Google without any other 3rd party apps and bloatwares. Very stable, no FC, great camera, and knock code gestures (flashed additional QuickMemo+ which isn't included by default). Awesome!
