Immediately after the release of the Sprint update, I tried flashing Insertcoin's ROM which asked for activation of the phone. I am in India intend to use my phone on GSM so, the process could not complete. I switched to Renovate 7.0. The problem is, now I am unable to flash any Sprint specific ROM on the phone as the phone keeps trying to activate and would not go past that screen. I am able to flash international ROMs with Sprint support like Elegancia, Renovate or Viper but not Sprint ROMs. Please let me out of this problem. I am desperate to try the Rage One ROM and other ROM variants.

After downloading the rom.zip open it and go to /system/costumize/AAC/default.xml and find the line(near the bottom) sku_id 10
Change that value to 42, save update archive and flash the ROM. I think it's a base bug, cause that activation screen should pop up, but after a few min it should go away daying unable to activate. Anyway after changing sku_id you should not have problems

Thanks. Will try this and report.
No joy for me. Still stuck at the activation setup in Badboyz ROM.

like the title says ive tried all the roms in the development forum and i keep getting stuck at start up the only one that work is the sprint shipped rom
i think it all started when i tried updating roms to MaxSense UI Style found in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649841
i tried to update by the internal memory method, then it got stuck in the touch logo start up screen and since then the only rom that gets pass that screen is the stock sprint rom
any help will be greatly appreciated
Make sure you have a HardSPL version for CDMA or you will not be able to use custom roms on your device.(Assuming you are on CDMA since you posted this in the CDMA forum) Also make sure you have the correct Radio for your CDMA device, each carrier has their own radios for you to flash.
yea ive flashed my phone with custom roms before so everything should be good in that department atleast, i have no clue whats the issue tho, phones unclocked
o WOW....so i just flashed an old custom rom i was using, and it worked.....
anyone know if now its like a requirement to use MTTY to install the new roms that are out? and if it is would the task 29 command that re formats your phone delete whats on your internal memory too? that would be horrible might just keep this rom if thats the case
I never used MTTY to flash. And I flashed about.... 5 different roms to my phone last night(New roms). Maybe thats why I can't get a data connection? I called up sprint to get my PCS Vision username/password but he wouldnt give it to me and made me press dialer codes to try junk. but the unlock code had changed so we couldnt unlock that part. Anyways the phone is about... 2 years old and I have TEP on it, so they are sending me a BRAND NEW Sprint CDMA Diamond Touch. Will it have the same data issues if I flash custom roms on to that one as well? Do I need the PCS Vision info for Sprint?(Only connection is #777 for Sprint but no idea if I need the login settings)
did you tried installing the original shipped Rom for your phone? or maybe a custom rom made for sprint?
would be good to find the login settings just in case idk
I installed a custom rom MADE for sprint. when the phone starts up it does some sort of..... "Hands Free Activation" but always fails on the data part. saying the PCS Vision username/password is wrong when dialing #777.
I still cannot find out what my username and password would be without calling up sprint AGAIN. They are sending me a new phone and everything, but they have some sort of procedure to get it activated and make your data work I am guessing when I receive the new phone monday/tuesday.
Flash back to the stock ROM for sprint. 2.00* and activate, after that is done, you can flash to whatever ROM you want. I had to do this for my Diam500 and once it activated, I installed Moonscape's ROM and everything works perfect.
I've also never used MTTY nor have I had to do many of the suggested methods of what others' have said. I simply installed WMDC for Win 7 x64 Enterprise, updated all the drivers for my phone, unchecked "fast USB sync" on the phone and voila, I can flash anything.
Just my $0.02
try keeping the dial number #777
all other settings with everything blank
no password
My friend got this phone off Ebay and I have it flashed with CM7 rom. He's trying to be it working on Page Plus and they say he needs to get it working on Sprint first with a stock rom?
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get this working on Page Plus instead of Sprint?

Actually is not a Stock ROM but any ROM which you can get in to EPST or DIAG Mode so PagePlus can program your phone manually.
That's what I did to hero to works with my carrier.
if its sprint branded, it needs to be flashed back to stock with an ruu. if you dig through the hero cdma forums, you will be able to find it. if not message me, i just dont have the link handy. im pretty sure if you click on my name and look through my posts, somewhere in there i posted a link to it.
from there you can use epst to program it, did pageplus accept the phone's esn? if so then once its flashed back to stock sprint rom just take it to their store and they should be able to very easily get it set up with data, calling etc.
So I have an HTC One, it's running the latest Android Rev HD version (4.4). Recently my contract with Tmobile expired and I got a Lycamobile sim, along with an unlock code. I'm used to the network unlocking procedures, but for this HTC One, after I\ve typed in the code it says successful, rebooting, but doesn't reboot, simply freezes itself. After a while, it's responsive again, but it's showing the window for the unlock code again. I've tried putting the unlock code multiple times, each times is successful, rebooting but then again freezes and fails. What am I doing wrong? Is it the ROM ?
Probably. ARHD was based of dev edition. US carrier versions aren't out yet. So you better try with a stock 4.3 ROM

Ok so I had a similar issue with my AT&T HTC one. First of all make sure you don't have a security lock screen enabled (basically make sure you don't need to enter a password to get into phone). Secondly I turned my Wi-Fi off just in case (so the phone wasn't connected to the internet). And make sure you are on a sense based Rom (I was using sky Dragon Rom).

Ok, so do I go back to stock with the RUU or can I use ARHD 4.3 ?

You can use the latest ARHD 41.0, when the phone is unlocked this only changes the allowed sim
Look at this

I was able to use my unlock code on ARHD. I tried several times at first with similar results. The method that worked:
1) insert foreign sim
2) enter unlock code
3) wait until it freezes on "rebooting"
4) manually turn off the phone
5) remove foreign sim while phone is OFF
6) turn on phone
7) place foreign sim back, HOILA!
APM

I'm probably late to this thread but, the exact same thing happened to me on an HTC One S running MaximusHD. I tried a number of things and found this thread by google. I finally figured out the issue. If your ROM has APM, make sure you disable it if you can. The APM option menu was causing the hangup and it worked fine after I disabled it.
Hi everybody
Actually I am not fresh or new to this kind of unlocking, i made many successful processes, but now i am facing a very strange situation, i had an HTC One for sprint updated to the latest sense 6 , i performed all the unlocking steps successfully, and i get it unlocked.
the problem starts when i inserted the local SIM card, it recognize it and ask me for the network setting, and when i am trying to do the last step (changing the network to GSM) it refuse !! and keep put the network to Automatic mode and tell me no network available!!
i tried almost everything, downgrade to previous Viber ROM ( sense 5.5) S-off , update firmware, etc.. with no hope
maybe i pressed something is the API menu by mistake which caused me all this problem,
any thoughts or ideas will be highly appreciated
today I made the same thing with m8 , same situation, any help pls

Honestly.. I'm thinking it has to do with the firmware. Try method #3 here. If that still doesn't work, try it again for good measure.
I had same issue. My phone is s-off. The way it works for me was going back to 4.3 and i did the method with sim unlock helper. After that i restored my 4.4.2 sense 6 stock rom and unlock works but no mms o data (data 3g and H symbols shows!) I went back to 4.3 and used google to search how to fix gsm connection. You will find a tutorial from here. (Xda) I used cdma tool. Btw...you need to find your MSL code ....that tutorial show you how to do it. Good luck!
To going back to 4.3 i just flashed a 4.3 rom from reckvery. Look in development threads.

Hello, I got a HTC M8 HK unlocked from the following post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718150 3 months ago the phone was working without any issue, then sunddenly the signal went gone and I place the phone on airplane mode then I deactivated it. The signal recovered pretty fine.
Then a couple of days ago the phone refused to receive/send calls only 3G is working, emergency calls are working so I assumed that the GSM antenna is working fine since I was able to place a emergency call.
Im still using the stock ROM 4.4.2 recently I updated the software to 5.0.1 to see if the problem can be fixed but nope... The issue stills there.
So if any one was able to replicate or is having the same issue can guide me in order to recover this.
I'm going to flash the following radio to re-attempt the unlock procedure again.
1.12.651.17 Original Stock ROM
Thanks for reading!
Cheers!
I would run the RUU for the 5.0.1 update to make sure your firmware is up to date. If you only updated your software but not your firmware you're going to have issues. If this doesn't fix your issue I'd try ##72786# from the dialer and do a reset from the menu once it comes up, and, if all else fails, run ##3282# from the dialer and then reset from there. You'll need your MSL code for that last one. You can get your MSL code from Sprint or by using the MSL reader app from the Play store. RUU's can be found in OMJ's RUU thread in the development section.
Hey thanks! I will do that when I arrive home!
The problem will be that I need to get back to 4.4.2 to perform the unlock again, since this is the Harman Kardon edition from the Sprint.
Another thing that is kind of funny that I have full 3G connectivity downloading at 3MB/s
HBOOT: 3.16.0.0000

Well my friend it didn't work sadly
Now I'm going to try to convert my HK to a simple Sprint M8 to check if the radio versions interfere, I was watching a lot of comments when you change the radio it affects everything, since Sprint only wants to keep them running on their network the modify this one as well. So I will use another version to see what happens.

Not sure why you'd want to change versions, as the only difference is the ADSP firmware. The radios are the same.

Well to be honest I'm a noob on this topics, well I converted the device to M8 directly from sprint and the same history only 3G data but no calls, also I modified the settings of the bands with QSPT same result as well. I'm going to migrate to 5.0.1 and follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59462305&postcount=4293 to check what happens. I already also changed the nano SIM to the same operator... But it's really curious to me... Why he's able to deliver a emergency call on the GSM network... If the antenna is damaged it should allow this type of calls at all...

And at the end nothing worked... Only Data is active... No GSM calls... I gave up... XD
