Ok, i have my LG revolution on verizon prepaid which we all know that i can not use 4G with so i do not have a sim card for the 4G to activate, which whats happening once i flashed gingervolt2.0 onto my phone and i can only make emergency calls, but my texts come through fine, but only as a notification and then i can respond. can any one pls help? will i have to put my stock rooted 2.3.4 back on the phone or will i be able to recover a piece from within CWM to make it work again?

Have you tried this? http://m.androidcentral.com/bypass-activation-screen-your-android-device
This will bypass the activation screen allowing you to get to your settings.

So when you get to the part to enter a pin... a mobile hotspot popup shows telling to contact att... and closes the process.
Has any one been able to connect to it?

I am having this same issue. I have spammed the connect button and gotten it to work, but that's all. I don't know if disabling the tethering guard would work or not, but that would require root. I just got the phone yesterday, so I haven't had a chance to root it yet.
ok just got off the phone, 70 min later, and she told me that they submited a case order that will "put their top scientists on it". (my words not theirs lol)
i will be contacted within 48 hours with an update, she said.

When you do the three finger swipe or click on the notification, it will take you to the media output menu, I have gotten it to connect by clicking clicking on the panel that says media link device. Normally, when it tries to connect, I get the message that says I need to contact AT&T to allow mobile hotspots, but sometimes after I click cancel and immediately try to reconnect, I am able to bypass the message and it connects. This is rare, so no, I would not say that it is working. I tried configuring the media link with my mobile data turned off, but for some reason, it appears like it is required.

yes stock... 1.26.502.10... media link > 5.19.103.1
Phil over at AC says his works fine but his firmware on the media link is 5.19.102.1

Off topic but i hope you at least grabbed your unlock token just in case they block the ONE...
Any new news on this? I had the Media link since Day 1 and it's used primarily as paper weight... Folks should start receiving their back ordered media link and will be suprised that it does not work.. I hope a work around is around the corner
Hello everyone,
I am somewhat new to android phones, as I just got an HTC One 3 months ago. I successfully rooted my phone and installed the Android revolution hd rom for Jelly bean 4.2. Recently whenever I try to use my data it doesn't work, even though I have a good amount of bars. Also I have not been able to receive mms messages and pictures, they just say "message not downloaded, generic network failure". Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Whawhasiscumba

Go to settings > Mobile Data > Access point names and see if theres anything there. You may need to log onto your carriers website and download APN/MMS settings.

Ok so I entered in all of the APN information, and saved it. Is there a step I missed because it unfortunately I still not working. I noticed that I had some other APNs in my list and I was able to select one of them to use. Should I be able to do the same with the one I just saved?

Try typing *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer, click "phone information", then go down and set preferred network type to "gsm/wcdma/lte auto" That's what worked for me.

I just tried the phone information, unfortunately no luck. Thanks though. When I rebooted my phone today there was a notification that popped up that said "sim card inserted, tap to complete setup". I tapped it and a list of my "providers" popped up but at&t wasn't on the list.Is this the source of the problem?
I'm not sure, I've never seen that. Have you tried taking your SIM card out and putting it back in?
You could always call att, ask to get transferred to tech support and have them enter the codes for you. Maybe they got messed up somehow? Idk...

Both the Sprint HTC One and One MAX could be GSM unlocked by following this method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2608910
Can anyone try it out and see if this works on the new One as well?
nice signature bro
I tried it, but it did not work. Hopefully someones has better luck then I did.

Did you get the vDm Client stopped working message before you tried to unlock the phone. Also which SIM card did you check it with. Just asking because it takes me 2-3 tries to get the phone to unlock on the One MAX. It's usually because the Omadm-SPCS file we change doesn't stick. You can check that by comparing the sizes of the files after reboot. Here is what I have found to work.
Change the file using ES/Root Explorer.
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Go into 'phone information' and try changing the network mode to WCDMA preferred. You will get the message 'vDm client stopped working', thereby indicating that the file has been changed successfully. Sometimes even after that it used to take me 2-3 complete retries to get the phone to unlock.
If you have the time do give it a couple of tries and thanks for doing this. Will help a lot of people if we can get the confirmation of this working out.

I tried the same method have not had any luck, anyone else?
Did you do anything different from what I did.
Is the phone supposed to restart by itself? Mine only freezes for a few seconds in the simand does not reboot. I reboot manually but still does not work. Anything else that you did different from the instruction? Your help will be appreciated.
Greetings,
I moved your thread to Q&A all questions should be asked there.
Thank You,

I fixed this by going into the service menu and hitting "NV rebuild"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not talking about no LTE like some have reported, I have absolutely not service. No data, no voice, no 2G, no 3G, no edge, nothing. My unlock code came in tonight, I punched it in, it said successfully unlocked, and I'm stuck.
1. Device is not blacklisted. IMEI is clean. Phone status still has IMEI and baseband info.
2. I've tried multiple APNs and restarted after selected each.
3. I have bars, but no service is reported. If trying to make a call, it says "not registered on network."
4. I called AT&T to do anything on their end. Whatever they did didn't change anything.
5. I've tried searching for networks under "mobile operators."
6. Tried a factory reset.
If anyone can help, please let me know. Thanks.
Edit: My sim came from a nexus 6. Everything still works fine after putting the sim back in there.
Can u give more detail on how u fixed this? Thanks!

With help from your thread about the secret menu
I had initially gone in there about a week ago to see if there was any option to unlock like in previous models. I was trying to be careful not to change anything, but I guess I must have messed something up. Somewhere in there there is an option of "NV Rebuild." I don't remember exactly where it is at and I don't want to ever go back in that menu again :laugh:

I haven't gotten around with it yet. The last time I tried, I got the Security Exception. For now I just bear with it, I boot my phone and do something else so that I won't notice. haha.

Mine never does that. Does it succeed? It must succeed to not pop that up.
One thing I've learned the hard way several times, is if you have AdBlocker running it screws up Activation, Update PRL etc. But you should be able to turn it back on later.
If it is failing activation even with adblocker off try activating with WIFI connection up.
You can also try ##72768# but be warned if it does not succeed you will have no voice or data. I recommend doing this only with a solid Sprint Signal 3G or 4G, but WIFI will work too.
If you call sprint, 99% sure that's the first thing they will try.
If you are using GSM in another country there is an app you can freeze. Look in Sprint M9 forums, this is asked all the time on how to kill it.

I'm on GSM in another country. I tried methods described before to turn it off before, but I ended up bricking my phone. If I started to be bothered by it again, I might try freezing it. Something I noticed though, I didn't notice the Activation prompt on my recent reboots recently.
For the information of all...
Dont try remove or Rename "LGStartupwizard.apk" remove this APK cause Bootloop and stuck at the "LG Security Error" and the only way to go back to life the G4 is flashing TOT file
cheers!
It might be wonky activating because your on a gsm network with a CDMA based phone.
