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

Fully restore your phone using my Fast / Easy unbrick method, just search the general section. (All it does is restore your phone to complete stock.)
You can try other stuff, but this method seems to fix most issues that aren't "easy" to fix.
I will try this method.
But I want to know if there are something can be changed or flashed other than this rom.
I want to fix my phone's network.
It not work on cdma , gsm or wcdma.
I flash xt883 rom, but nothing happened.
Can i flash radio? Change hardware setting.
who can tell me.

You don't need the xt883 ROM in order to use the phone on any foreign gsm. The phone must be unlocked by Verizon, then you need to flash the xt883 radio.img, then edit/replace the build.prop. I would flash back to stock first, since the xt883 is a weird ROM, but you probably don't have to. There are already plenty of threads where the explanations have been given, so look around: search Verizon D3 on T-Mobile, D3 on AT&T/T-Mobile, etc.
You will have to turn off 'automatically select operator' in settings and choose manually the one you're using. T-Mobile users will only get edge and below, while AT&T users will get 3g.

I'm not sure what is wrong with your connection, but mine has problems sometimes where the phone will not recognize any available gsm networks. It's sometimes like this after I reboot my phone, but if changing my settings doesn't work, rebooting again will usually work.
Is your phone unlocked by Verizon? Did you flash the xt883 radio.img since changing your ROM? Did you replace your build.prop file with the tweaked one? I will try to find these resources for you if you still need them, but you should be able to find them by searching if you haven't already. After doing these things, you just have to reboot then go to your settings and tell it to prefer gsm. On T-Mobile, you wont get umts. On AT&T you will get gsm and umts.
In settings, you need to select wifi & network settings -> mobile networks -> network mode -> then choose gsm/umts, back to mobile networks -> under gsm/umts settings, click select network, then choose gsm only for T-Mobile or automatic for AT&T, then click operator select, select network and choose your operator. Select automatically will have a check box next to it and you should deselect it. I didn't have to put in my apn settings, because my sim card provides those automatically.
If these settings tweaks don't work for you then I really have no clue what will fix it because it is likely that something else is wrong. I can't be of much more help without seeing the device. I would suggest to keep playing around in settings and just use your head to see why it's not connecting. If you are getting voice and text service on your carrier, data shouldn't be a problem if your settings are done correctly.
Good luck!

Have had my phone for about 4 months now. When I first got it flashed to work on PagePlus, I decided to try a custom ROM on it. Since it was flashed to work on the Verizon network, I figured a Verizon ROM would be the way to go. After the flash, the phone would not connect to the cell network anymore. I went back to the stock ROM and everything worked fine again. Since then, I've only tried Sprint based ROMs and haven't had any issues.
Just wondering if there is a reason why a Verizon ROM would not work in my case? Can't figure out if I did something wrong with the flash or if a Verizon ROM won't work since the phone was originally a Sprint version.
I didnt think it mattered, because Verizon has a white list... meaning even if you do get a verizon rom on there it still won't activate since the IEMI is not on verizons database.....
I'm not looking to activate the phone with Verizon, I'm already with PagePlus (which uses Verizon towers) and the phone works fine. My question was more about should I be able to flash a ROM geared for a Verizon phone? Seems like I should, but last time I tried that, something didn't work out right. I've been using Sprint based ROMs since then and the phone is working fine (with PagePlus as my carrier).

No, it won't be possible to flash a Verizon ROM since the mount points are different. Plus, I've already tried asking and the answer is no, sadly.

Thanks for your reply..I can see the sim menu as well..without installing cricket rom...I think there should be a way that it will work on gsm networks..I searched all the forums..I did not find any..

So far none, many groups are working on this issue. For example, have a look at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510/help/virgin-mobile-htc-desire-510-gsm-t2965839
I currently have the m7vwz. (Which is disconnected)
I plan on flashing to CricKet.
My question is , When it comes to software ( ROMS ) What exactly is the difference between the M7 Variants ? I have heard someone mention mount points? I know that the APNs are going to be different , but what else is there ?
( Since my phone has been disconnected, I have flashed Viper ROM from the M7 thread. No issues . I only use wifi )
Once I complete flashing my phone over to CricKet, Would I still need to use the m7vwz Roms ?
Also, On most HTC phones I was able to dial ##775# or ##3778# in order to get to the NAM programming options. I've tried many roms, and I am still unable to get to these menus . I understand I may need to flash a patch to get to the DIAG menu, if so Where might I find the correct one?
Once I flash over and get my ROM Tweaked, Ill share in case anyone else may want to flash over to CricKet .
Thanks in advanced
