I just flashed my wife's Sprint Diamond back to the eyecandy Gadget ROM. It's been a problem with this ROM that the PRL update/profile update is not functional. So I used the manual update.
I downloaded the PRL files from both Diamond sub forum and TP2 sub forum (newer), first of all, I assume PRL files are not device specific, is that right?
Anyways, then I dialed #775, input the code and get to the PRL update interface, I specified the file path that leads to the PRL files I put in Storage card, then hit "OK". A msg popped out asking if I want to update the device, I hit "OK", then the phone shut itself off instead of "rebooting" according to all the PRL manual update instructions. I had to press the power button to get the phone powered up, and then when I checked the PRL version, it remained unchanged.
I tried both the PRL from diamond and TP2, also tried putting the files in phone memory as well as strorage card. Results remained the same.
Can anyone help me out? TIA
Try with QPST

Me too,
Have you try to update PRL via QPST???
Note: I had problem find one QPST that pass my antivirus software and that works with HTC Touch Diamond from Sprint. I guess I'm missing something.
I am deployed to Afghanistan right now. I ordered a brand new XT862, rooted it, and installed safestrap 2.10 and cm-9-20120815-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip. That worked beautifully.
Unfortunately I am having problems getting the radio to work. I would set an APN but then sometimes it would just not appear in the list. I would set it again and again, then sometimes all of the APNs would appear in my list until the radio failed. After flashing, formatting, and reflashing several times and having the default Verizion access points finally pop up out of nowhere in my APN list, I realized I never "unlocked" the phone. I am using a Roshan SIM.
The weird part is the radio would work for a period of time. First for several hours, then it would start failing more and more frequently.
I found the XT862-5.7.906-SAFE and flashed it, hoping it would ask me for an unlock code upon booting, but no dice. It just went into "Global" mode. I am testing right now to see if the radio stays stable.
So, I am wondering if these instructions:
Guide - Unlock XT862 for T-mobile/ATT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406812
will get me to the unlock code screen, and once unlocked, will my radio problem disappear when I reflash CM9? My Internet connection is painfully slow here in Afghanistan so I only want to download what I know will work.
I do have a second XT862 that I had unlocked, then rooted and flashed CM9 to and it is working very well on Roshan out here.
Thanks for your help!
While running the XT862-5.7.906-SAFE, the radio cut out and I got a BP paniced message. I couldn't remember all of it before it crashed completely, but it asked to connect the USB for debugging. While the screen was flickering, a window popped up asking if I wanted to switch to GSM.
The radio doesn't seem to be stable even with this firmware.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
The radio cut out again, so I tried switching it from global to CDMA and then to GSM to see if I could get it to reset.
It told me there were no GSM networks available, and then asked to switch to Global.
I hit ok, then it told me that the SIM was invalid...
I'm a noob to this phone stuff, but this just seems crazy.
It seems it's definately the phone, because I swapped the SIMs in my two phones and the problems persist with the new one. My functioning phone continues to work fine on the chip designated for the problem phone.
Did you flash the 883 radio?

No, I haven't yet because I didn't know if that was going to solve my problem or not. Downloading is a challenge for me right now, too.
I don't know if not unlocking the phone before flashing CM9 caused the problem or if it's something else entirely that I am missing. I will want to have the phone usable in the states again. Will flashing the 883 radio give me any difficulties there?
I've went back though the steps that I did on my other, working phone and [edit] not unlocking is [/edit] pretty much the only difference.
I'm probably going to try to download the 883 radio stuff tonight when I get home from work and give it a try.

Unlocking the phone MUST be done on stock firmware. The XT883 radio is only required for using US GSM networks, such as AT&T and T-Mobile. The stock XT862 radio (after unlock) supports foreign SIM cards (and of course Verizon's Vodafone SIM).
As I recall, CM9/10 normally has issues with the GSM radio, if you need your phone, I suggest flashing a ROM based on a stock GB system, such as Maverick (4.0 version, 4.5 has a battery drain issue with an overclock script) which is based on 906. I tend to keep the phone on GSM/UMTS mode, as "Global" also turns on the CDMA radio, which utilizes more battery. The APN only matters for Data/MMS without the proper APN, you should still get talk/text/signal (no EDGE or 3G icons, which indicate data connection).

I didn't update the radio on my working phone to 883. It has been doing just fine on Roshan Afghanistan and AIS in Thailand. In the states I use Verizon, so I don't think GSM is a biggie.
So, I have to get back to stock and unlock, then go through the hack process again. I figured I probably did. So before I try to download this file, do you think the 1-click SBF here:
[xt862] .906 1-click-sbf.exe + tools [10-8-2012]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686911
will do the job? If not, do you know what will? I'm still running XT862-5.7.906-SAFE. I do have Blur_Version.5.6.890.XT862.Verizon.en.US.zip but I don't know how to install it. I'm still learning all of this stuff. Would RSDLite do it?
I wasn't very specific when I talked about the radio, sorry. More or less the voice connection would stop along with the data. It was just weird that sometimes the APNs would show up in the list and sometimes they wouldn't. When they did, it showed multiple from when I tried entering them several times. I don't know why it would write the changes but not read the list.
When about five Verizon APNs showed up and none of my Afghan APNs showed up, I realized I must have needed to unlock the phone. When I hacked it I just assumed it wouldn't have to be unlocked. I figured I WAS unlocking it. LOL!
Thanks everyone for your help.

If you were on the 906 OTA, the one click EXE would work, no programs required. Connect phone in bootloader > run the exe > The phone will flash. In Global mode, when you check the APNs, only the Verizon ones will show, you MUST be in GSM/UMTS mode for your own APNs to show up. Also, if it's occasionally in and out, I wonder if the connection between the SIM and phone are bad, like a shake or movement will break the contact. (Which when a SIM is not present, only the Verizon APNs will show as well and would prompt for global mode)
Try taking the SIM out, cleaning the contacts, and placing it back in. If the sim seems loose, try slipping a single thin piece of paper behind it to make sure it's getting full contact. Otherwise, it might be a hardware fault.

I'm currently running the SAFE version found here:
XT862 5.7.906 Update FXZ DST
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554916
It doesn't say that it's an OTA. I'm still running safestrap 2.10 with it. That's why I was curious if that might work. I also have that full BLUR download already. I tried installing it using safestrap, but that didn't work. I'm assuming because it's not supposed to. If I can get that installed and it works I'd be happy. I have to remote into my server at home, download there, and then FTP over here at like 6k/sec. Am I correct in assuming I'd install that full BLUR image with RSDLite?
I haven't had any issues with the SIM from the bad phone in my good phone, and everything feels tight when I put the SIM in. I've tried cleaning the contacts a bit. I haven't tried putting something in there to hold it tighter yet, though.

The Droid 3 does not require RSDLite, as it has fastboot. Which is able to flash certain parts alone instead of the whole system (or the whole thing together) it's easier than RSDLite and can make modifications without losing everything. That's how the XT883 radio is flashed without modifying the system.
The one click method would fully flash it as if you used an SBF in RSDLite. If you have safestrap enabled on safe; make a full backup with recovery, then disable safe-mode. You'll then reboot into your stock system, unlock there, then enable the safe boot again, restore your backup.
SIM unlocking is for good, no amount of flashing, updating, etc will revert it. If the phone DOES get service with the sim, then it's already unlocked.. if it's occasionally cutting out, that's a different issue.

Holy shinto! I didn't know it saved that! I figured it was gone!
So I disabled safestrap, then it kept telling me com.android.phone had stopped. I'd force close and it would say it again. I went back into safestrap, did a factory wipe, rebooted and now it is connected in "Global" mode again on the stock 5.6.890.XT862.Verizon.en.US. It was looking good for a while, until the phone just rebooted itself.
I put my other SIM in the phone, booted back up and it worked for a while until the signal dropped and the phone gave me an invalid SIM error again. So, it's given me an invalid SIM on two different SIMs now in stock and flashed ROMs.
The SIM is in there tight. I couldn't get a piece of paper in there. I cleaned the contacts again, but they don't look dirty at all.
I put the original SIM back in there, it booted up, never got signal, and rebooted itself again. It doesn't have signal now, and I assume it's just about to reboot itself again.
You think I got a bum phone? I didn't test it at all before I started hacking it.
Also, if I do the *#*#4636#*#* while it has no signal it tells me my IMEI number is unknown, if that helps. If press the turn off radio button, it does nothing.
[edit]It also tells me pretty much everything (MEID, IMEI SV, SIM ID, ect...) is unknown if I go into About Phone>Status[/edit]

That happens if either; Airplane mode is on, or you have an incorrect build.prop, have you modified it in any way? Also have you tried making a backup and turning safe boot off?
Also; If the zips are still on your SDCard, try reflashing your rom to make sure you have the correct build.prop.

I have safestrap turned off and it appears I am running on stock? It says I am running 5.7.890 and not 5.7.906. There is a Superuser icon in the all apps, but I think that is from where I rooted it.
I rebooted and all the numbers came back... for now.
I don't have airplane mode on. I tried to turn it on after reading your post. It caused the phone to reboot. Once rebooted, it came back up in airplane mode. I turned it off and it is connected again, for now.
I haven't messed with the build.prop that I know of. I only rooted, installed CM9 several times, formatted everything several times in-between those installs, and most recently flashed that XT862-5.7.906-SAFE.zip.
And before I even finished this post it rebooted itself on me again...

Alright, did you put the sim in and get the unlock screen to put in the unlock code? 890 is alright to be on, that's what my stock system is. I would suggest staying away from CM9/CM10 as they are unstable when using GSM networks. Either stay stock or flash a ROM based on Blur (I suggest MavRom 4.0).

It never asked me for an unlock. It just immediately put the phone in world mode.
I literally did this with the phone.
1. open factory sealed box
2. root the phone
3. install safestrap
4. format all partitions
5. install CM9
6. install SIM
7. repeat 4 and 5 serveral times
8. install 5.7.906 hoping to get an unlock screen in order to possibly fix radio issue
9. start this thread.
Now, I did steps 4 and 5 over and over again over about 2 weeks off and on while I tried to figure out what was going wrong. Like I said, I am running CM9 very successfully here since August on a different XT862 that I did unlock before rooting. I installed a KANG build, not a KEXEC.
The amount of times your device seems to be rebooting makes me think there is something wrong with it.

Hm... while in unsafe (stock) the unlock screen should have come up. It will not on other roms, as for global mode, that is a default setting, without unlock, will only work with the verizon vodafone sim that came with the phone. Reboots can be either hardware, rom, or app problem. You can try a factory wipe and see if that helps the reboots. Trying to find solutions without you having to download more.

Hi All ,
My apologies if there is a solution to my problem in another thread. I have spent countless hours looking for a way to unroot my Sprint HTC One because the Sprint network can't seem to activate it until I do. Or I need to figure out a way to force the Sprint network to accept my MDN and MSID which can "sometimes" be problematic with rooted devices. It might be easier to just unroot and see if that helps getting the phone to properly activate.
Other than the network connectivity issues, the phone is fully functional. Just cant make calls or send texts.

I've tried everything I can think of to get my device unrooted, but none of the RUUs work due to being on hboot 1.55 s-on or having an older firmware version (1.29.xx or 1.39.xx.)
Is there any method I can use to get completely back to un-rooted stock rom with, relocked boot loader (know how to do that part), stock recovery, etc?
I've looked at so many different threads and google searches and all say you need to be s-off and run RUUs of versions that will either cause my touch screen to not work or worse. If anyone can help me it would be amazing and I would be much obliged.

Ah yes! The 3.04 version wasn't available the last time I read that post! I can confirm that the other that using the 1.29 and 1.31 versions caused serious issues for me and my phone. This post is actually what led me to learn about the issues due to different firmware and file structure between new and older versions.

Noticed that the phone is unable to update PRL correctly. Version will switch from 00000 to 1 to 55016. I am also unable to commit changes to any EPST settings (which is the first thing sprint tried to do). MDN and MSID both currently say 'no' and I can't update.
I'm having the exact same issue with everything working fine but no calls/texts.
I flashed the Guru reset for 3.04 but still no calls/text.
Any other solutions?

Try the following:
Full wipe. Flash the newest stable CM.
Go into Settings > More... (under Wireless & Networks) > Mobile networks > CDMA subscription:
Confirm the following settings:
Network mode = LTE/CDMA/EvDo
CDMA subscription = NV
After you confirm these settings, switch the network mode to CDMA/EvDo only and then back to LTE/CDMA/EvDO.and give it a minute or so, you should see 3G/Phone availability come back. You can test this by dialing a number. You should be able to make a call, or at least get the default Sprint "device is not activated" recording. After confirming this, you can do another wipe and flash back to a stock ROM. You should now have mobile network connectivity back. You may need to Activate the phone again and update the profile/PRL to get back to 100%.

Hmm. That's pretty much the issue that I had except 4G/Wifi was working and 3G/Call/Text didnt seem to be. You might try switching the CDMA mode to SIM and then back to NV to make sure the setting takes. I know CM can be really finicky with network changes.

I've tried everything I can think of to get my device unrooted, but none of the RUUs work due to being on hboot 1.55 s-on or having an older firmware version (1.29.xx or 1.39.xx.)
Is there any method I can use to get completely back to un-rooted stock rom with, relocked boot loader (know how to do that part), stock recovery, etc?
I've looked at so many different threads and google searches and all say you need to be s-off and run RUUs of versions that will either cause my touch screen to not work or worse. If anyone can help me it would be amazing and I would be much obliged.

You may need to flash a stock rom and manually enter you MDN and MSID using the epst menu
no luck
At this point I have not had any luck solving this issue. I used Guru's reset tool as well and believe the problem is the radio firmware. I spent a good deal of time on the phone with Sprint support and with a surprisingly competent technician in the store. He tried to work with multiple different systems they have available to get the phone to recognize the Sprint towers with no success.
He said that the phone just isn't recognizing them in any way and commented that a phone that isn't activated will still show bars of service because the phone gets the signals from nearby towers, but just doesn't know what to do with the signal until activated. In my case, all I see is the "X" above the signal bar graphic.
If you're experiencing the same issue as me, there is nothing Sprint can do to make the phone recognize their towers based on the conversations I've had. I saw my options as:
1. Wait for an RUU to come out or something like that
2. Try out different ROMs - jjmckaskie suggested the newest CM, but I would think others might be worth trying as well. Basically anything that uses different radio firmware
3. Get a new phone - This is the option I've gone with. Since my phone is running a stock ROM and the guy at Best Buy where my insurance is from, didn't check the bootloader (would have said "tampered" and "unlocked"), he assumed I never voided my warranty and sent out for a refurb. This may not work if your insurance is through Sprint though. I'm not sure how thorough they are.

As a last resort you could also try the hard reset code from your dialer by entering ##72786# . You will need to be on a stock rom. You will also need your MSL code (you can usually get this from Sprint support). This will reset EVERYTHING so be mindful. It will also force a hands free activation/Profile/PRL update after the phone reboots which is sometimes useful.

I still took it to Sprint just to see and they fixed it. Downside is my GPS and LTE is messed up again (Me trying to fix those things is the reason all this happened in the first place) but I'd rather not have GPS than not have phone capabilities on my phone (And LTE in Los Angeles is garbage anyway). I think I'm gonna leave my phone alone for a while tho, lol.

Looks like I am going to go this route. I hit ##72786# and it takes me to SCRTN screen. I'm guessing I just hit menu in the top right, then reset? Then it will prompt me for my MSL code?

Yup. I actually dont remember if it does a full wipe, or just forces an activation/profile/PRL update. But either way it's worth a shot.

Sounds like you solved your issue, but for anyone else having trouble....
I re-tried GURU's reset and it worked. The first time I downloaded it over the 4G network. I also downloaded the OTA over the 4G network. My radio has been giving me fits ever since. Finally, I downloaded GURU's reset over WIFI, then made sure the OTA downloaded over WIFI, and my phone is like new again! No radio issues, everything is perfect. Hope this helps some people...
I have a HTC J ONE HTL22 and a few days ago I lost my network signal completely. Contacted my network provider everything was good,bought a new sim tried that and still no network. The day I lost it I went into the service menu #*#*4636*#*# and into Phone Information and was just trying some different network settings. I clicked select radio band...and I saw Euro Band,Japan Band,US Band ,AUS Band ,AUS2 Band. I tried US Band to see the result and than i lost that menu ,now I only see Automatic, Cellular(800-MHz Band) and PCS(1900-MHz Band). When I try Automatic it says Unsuccessful. The other 2 successfully work but don't give me my network back? I've done a factory reset and still nothing changes. When I manually search for a network,it comes up blank. before it showed Bell,Telus,Rogers etc. So it's defiantly something with my radio.
My cell is UNLOCKED, S-OFF, CID-11111111, HBOOT-1.54.0000, RADIO-1.23.11.0829 and CWM installed,running stock 4.2.2. So I'm wondering is there a way to reset my radio or any help on flashing a new radio? Thanks

Thanks for the link. Today I tried to install a new radio through CWM. I pick the zip to install and after a few seconds it says complete...I reboot and my radio never changes. I've tried it through CWM and Rom manager. Am I doing something wrong?

Anyone know of a way to get my Radio Bands back? or any other service number codes to possibly reset the Radio. Thanks

This might be of a bit more value. It seems the prior link was for a different HTC One model. Above link is for M7. Check it out if you still need a radio/baseband.
I also realized your phone is a Japanese variant...I dont know if that makes a difference or not in compatibility, but I wanted to mention you could try using ADB to flash the radio/baseband instead of using recovery. I think you could also upgrade your firmware,which usually includes the baseband. Good luck...
Thanks for reply
Nothing help
flash radio through fasboot and TWRP does not matter
Same here...still no luck yet. Still have no network. Makes no sense why the radio bands cant be restored!?
many service centers, many ROMs nothing help
I have a Note 8 N950U that was originally on ATT. It was bootlooping and I got it to work somewhat by flashing the ATT_N950USQS4CRE1_ODIN firmware using the moded odin file. The phone will boot and all seems to work but it will not work on a cellular network. It shows the "no network connection" error and the airplane mode switch is highlighted as if its on but it is not on. I've tried resetting the network settings, reboot with airplane mode on, etc. I also have tried several different working sim cards and all do the same. The phone does recognize the sim because it sees my phone number in the settings.
I recently reflashed the device using the N950USQS5CRG9 firmware, and still have the same issue. the device boots and all seems to work except the cellular network. I also tried different APN settings as well.
I seem to be having trouble with other firmwares because odin will just error out on me. These are the only 2 firmwares that I was able to get to flash. So is this a firmware issue or a hardware issue? I would really like to get this device to work if at all possible. So, any and all help is greatly appreciated.
TIA to all!!!

What version of the bootloader are you currently on now? And did you flash a CSC file from AT&T and then do a factory reset in recovery mode?

I am currently on N950USQS5CRG9 bootloader. And yes, i flashed this CSC file, CSC_OYN_N950UOYN5CRG9_CL13949550_QB19107689_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT, which I believe is an ATT file. I did not do a factory reset in recovery mode after the firmware flashing. The device was factory restored prior to flashing though. THanks for the help, I've been messing with this for a week now...Thanks again.

Try going from CRG9 to N950USQU5CRIA because that could fix the problems.. Download the update.zip from the website put it on your SD card and then boot into recovery mode and select flash update from SD card and let it do its thing after you select the update file.. You have CRG9 still and you'll be able to flash back to it too if you have to for some reason.. The website is here put your model of phone in from the dropdown menu(Note 8) and then the next dropdown menu select your CRG9 firmware and it will give you some updates but take the latest version that's N950USQU5CRIA not the old ones after it flashes try a factory reset again!!

OK, went through and did exactly what you said do...the update went through and finished, the phone rebooted, and then I restarted phone and did factory reset, and I went thru the setup and the update did take, but still same issue. Tried 2 different sim cards that work in other devices and still no network connection and airplane mode is still highlighted as if its on. No signal bars just a 0 with a / slash through it.
Any other ideas? Really do appreciate the help. TIA!!

Try this.. From the home screen, tap the settings icon, scroll down until you see General and select it, scroll down until you see the reset option. Select reset. You will be taken to the reset screen. Select Reset Network Settings, if your phone is password protected, enter your code. You will be taken to a new screen confirming your selection.
And the last idea I have is that you have a hardware issue if the above didn't work and there's something broken internally and you need to go to AT&T immediately and have them either replace that phone or call Samsung because there is a 1 year warranty on the phone for free from Samsung and they'll fix it and return it so long as it's not from something you caused, like water or dropping it and breaking it.. Also, where did you get that phone from? Is the IMEI clear?

That's one of the 1st thing i've tried before anything else. It says it resets successfully, but does not fix issue.
Unfortunately, I got this second hand...It worked great until it started boot looping, so returning it, isn't an option. I guess the baseband chip
got messed up some how. Anyways, thanks a million for the help...it was much appreciated.
