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.

I was kind of worried that was the case. I just ordered a refurb unit just in case.
isnt the VS980 supposed to be unlocked for GSM use ?
I am in India at the moment...i have 3 Verizon G2 phones...SIM cards work fine on 2 of them...On the third one...it does not detect the mobile network...sim is detected ,coz it gives no alert...and when i search for networks...the networks are shown...it just doesnt connect to the network...the sim cards work fine in other phones...in the other G2 phones and in a HTC DROID DNA...so its not the sim at fault....
Have tried multiple SIM cards from Vodafone/Loop Mobile/Airtel...none of them work on this particular phone..
When i search for networks...im getting networks...but cant connect to them...most times it shows error while searching for network...
What can be the problem ?
Please help me out...otherwise will have to send the phone all the way back to USA...
if i am right... verizon phone is unlocked to all US carriers only....try to verify if its globally unlocked
EDGE/GSM (850/900/1800/1900), HSPA/UMTS (850/900/1900/2100)*
those are the frequence bands it support.
India support 900 1800
So technically it should work..
try *#06# to check if it shows imei number and other is to try to unlock phone

I got 3 Verizon g2... 2 of them work fine with Indian sim cards.
The third one is facing this problem.. I thought the IMEI was lost.. But IMEI is still intact and dame as that on the box.. Also Verizon g2 has no unlocking system as it is already unlocked..
That ink which u posted says it is unlocked for us carriers.. And not that it cannot be used outside the US.. People use it in UK, Australia.. Mexico.. Germany.. To name a few..
It seems the efs partition is corrupt but I don't know how to fix that as I have no backup..
Also if it wasent unlocked the sim won't be detected.
When I search for networks, the networks show.. It just doesn't connect..
The problem exists only in one of the 3 phones..
Ok then install custom rom and try with that.
I can recommend you for cloudy g3 rom. Best one out there
If your phone is not rooted and no custom recovery then open towelroot.com from your phone and install apk and it will root right a way
Then install rashr flash tool from play Market and install twrp recovery.
It's the easiest methods to install custom recovery and root I can recommend.
I hope this will work for you and don't forget to setup apn setting if data plan not working

Fixed for me. I rooted the phone. I installed the cloudy rom, based in the D802 version of LG G2, now, the phone works perfect. No issues at all.
I suggest change the rom and try other software.

Upgraded my VS980 to lolipop and after a couple of days same thing happened to me. I am in Pakistan btw. Sim is working fine on any other mobile. Have tried restoring to stock nothing happened. One thing i want to add is when i change my location sometimes for a couple of minutes, network do appear. But it does not makes call or uses data then it again gets to emergency calls only status... Phone is no better then i web browser now.... Help needed
Also not connecting (But it detects networks)
I have an lg vs980 and I was using it with H2O wireless and later I changed to Simple Mobile. I'm living in Puerto Rico. The phone was working all right and, suddenly, one day it was always displaying 'emergency calls only'.
I did factory reset, then I reflashed stock lollipop and it was like nothing happened, keeps displaying 'emergency calls only'.
Then I found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394689 and applied the patch but didn't seem to resolve the problem.
As a last resort I tried flashing cm 12.1 and before first boot applied the patch from the cited thread but no result, keeps displaying 'emergency calls only'.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem?
Hello guys/girls,
I just got my Nexus 6 yesterday from Amazon and bought a new nano sim instead of my micro.
I immediately did a bootlocker unlock, root and twrp install and flashed chroma rom.
Everything went smooth the only problem is my data does not work.
I tried Catalyzm rom, I tried factory image from 5.11 up to 6.0.x, same issue!
I tried to flash different basebands, also APN reset/settings.
It says 'T mobile on top and it seems to be recognized.
Model is Xt1103 and currently on factory.
I'm out of ideas, anyone can help before I shoot this phone back to Amazon?

I tried to flash different basebands, also APN reset/settings.
It says 'T mobile on top and it seems to be recognized.
Model is Xt1103 and currently on factory.
I'm out of ideas, anyone can help before I shoot this phone back to Amazon?

Seems to me you have a data connection, but no access to internet. Big change it has to do with settings. Does your wifi-internet work?
or ..... Your new sim card ! Does your provider something that blocks internet?
Yes, Wifi works like everything else. I get the message 'Sign into the T-mobile', once i click on it, it takes me to u.web2go.com with message: 'Your data plan does not work on this device' lol. My data has worked with any other phone.. Messing with APN has brought me to LTE but that !!!!! mark is still there.

Sounds like a plan issue. Call T-Mobile and see what they have to say about it.
APNs would only help you to get a connection. If their servers aren't allowing you to access the internet (what it sounds like) you won't be able to do anything from your end to bypass that.
Just an update. I went to T-Mobile they switch my SIM and it worked. bleh. Happy I can keep this phone /closed
just and update went to T-mobile got a sim switch and it worked. /closed
6 months ago I sold my Nexus 6 to one of my friends and he has been flashing ROMs with no problems.
A few days ago he started having problems at the setup screen after flashing a new ROM. The ROMs all get stuck on the "checking connection...." screen. I had him bring me the phone and I flashed the newest factory image and put the phone back to 100% stock, booted up and same issue. I was able to pull his sim card (Verizon) and get past it finally. We ended up thinking it was a sim card issue so he went to Verizon and got a new sim card activated and popped it in. Flashed Chroma and Pure Nexus ROMs and got the same issue, stuck on checking connection. He has pulled the sim card out and tried flashing the ROM's also and gets the same issue now. I'm not a fastboot noob so I know the images are being flashed correctly. I've tried going back to older factory images and get the same problem. Anyone have any advice or know what could be causing this?

"checking connection" only happens on verizon, so im going to assume its a verizon issue.

I guess I never noticed that. I use AT&T, but never pay enough attention. Verizon seems to be ok in the area though.

I tested by resetting my Verizon Moto E and it breezes right past that screen. I'm really puzzled by this.
I figured out what's causing the issue. He somehow lost the IMEI of the phone. When I had the phone I always kept an efs backup but I deleted them all. I've flashed all kinds of factory images and it won't come back. When I do a *#06# the IMEI shows all zeros so I know it's software fixable. Just not sure of the exact procedure I need to follow.
