Hi all. I could use some help with this issue I've been having. Basically, about a week ago, I went on a trip to Colorado and at the same time had an issue with my data through VM. After talking to them, I had to change my service plan. Since then I haven't been able to maintain any kind of connection with VM; it reads no service a lot, even in places I've never had an issue (home, school, practically everywhere...). Before I deal with VMs customer service yet again, I wanted to see if there is any issues with my phone/rom/kernel and any updates to either I could use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510/help/how-to-treat-sd-internal-storage-t3029186
I used this guide to root my phone and install all that stuff in order to use my sd card as my internal storage. So, could there be some issue with that wHich could cause me to not be able to get any service? Is there anything I could do on my side to determine if the problem is with my phone?
If the issue lies with VMs network, are there any updates to the kernel or roms with newer versions of Android that I could use and still use my sd card as my main storage? Side question: on any rooted device, could you do the ad card as main memory thing with the apps, Apparted and Link2sd?
Thanks anyone who can help me out.

Tap settings and then scroll to the bottom and look for either software update or about phone and then look for the option to select PRL update, do that and then go back and do a profile update in the same spot as the PRL update and then reboot the phone.

Yep, I've tried that one. But for the sake of thoroughness, I tried it twice more to no avail. Any other tips/tricks?

Flash this via twrp and let me know if it works.. After you flash this wipe the cache and dalvic cache too then reboot.
Edit: Are you running the stock rom or something else?

Alright, tried that, too, now. Still a no-go.
I'm not sure if I have a custom rom, but I don't think so. I just followed that guide, and I believe it only needed me to install a custom kernel. This thing acts weird. I'll pick it up and unlock it, and it will have 5 bars, but then quickly jump down to 1 then no service. As I'm driving to class, I'll have 4-5 bars but when I get to school, it's gone. It feels like whenever there are WiFi signals, I lose my service connection, if that helps.
Thank you so much, btw.

Hmm, definitely going to try this tonight. I've now tried to revert to my stock image, and things just haven't gone well since then. So, since I've already removed or backed up all data, should I just wipe everything (data, system, boot, cache, dalvik, etc), flash root, flash custom kernel, then restore this rom? That way, everything is fresh with no chance of interferences?

No flashing anything the boot/kernel is already in the folder just wipe and restore no using custom kernels there's already a custom kernel in it. It already has root access you do not even need a computer to do this just download extract and move the modded folder to twrps backup folder and restore. This is a full custom modified CyanogenMod 11.. Not stock rom at all.

Okay, wow. I really like this, man. It's really slick. But, sadly, I'm still SOL. Sometimes there is a connection with VM, but it goes away quickly. I've really appreciated your help, but the problem seems to lay on VMs side, or there is a physical problem in my phone preventing it from maintaining a connection.
Im going to try to deal with their customer service and see if they can do anything. In the end, the phone only cost me $50, I guess. If I get it worked out, I'll post what it was about so you may be able to help the next guy with the issue, lol.

Lol that's definitely gotta be VM's side then.. I'm on VM to but let me ask you a question... Is that a pay as you go, like 1 monthly payment or is it prepaid? If it's the monthly payment then ask VM to reprovision the phone but restore back to your stock backup before calling.

It's their $35/month unlimited plan. I just got off the phone with them after 1.5 hours, so not that long, lol. They claim there is a cell tower being worked on, and everything should clear up in 48-72 hours....and yet I can't get a stable signal 20 miles away at school, so it sounds like a rote answer when they have no clue. On the other hand, my wife's S2 barely gets a signal, too.
They are going to comp my for the 2 weeks it's been down, tho. If after this weekend there isn't any improvment....wwell, I'll figure something out, I guess.

The "Cell tower being worked on" is just an incompetent fools answer because they in fact have no idea what the problem really is. What carrier does your wife have, VM to?

Lol, I've figured that one out when they told me that a couple months ago, I called back the next day and asked about the tower and they told me there was no record of any tower problems. Yeah, she's on VM also, with a Samsung S2, completely stock. When I check her signal, she has a connection, but it's low, around -100 to -120 dba.

Hey Mike. I hate to bother you again, especially since I've been reading how much you've been dealing with other people, so I think I know how to do this, I just would like to run this by you to make sure I have it right.
I'm going to try to have VM replace my phone, so I need it back to looking clean.
1) So, I need to relock the bootloader first. I first "fastboot oem lock" in cmd, then.
2) I DL the RUU from HTC's site, specifically the VM 1.49.652.3 file.
3) While still in fastboot usb, I run the RUU repeatedly till it completes
4) Go back to hboot and do a factory reset.
Thanks man. I've tried to read things through, but I want to make sure it'll be clean if they do replace it.
Edit: Wait, I just saw someone said to input "fastboot oem rebootRUU" then run the RUU.

Just relock the bootloader then flash the stock recovery and then run the RUU from the PC but you don't need to factory reset after that because the RUU is the reset.

I've searched for half and hour and looked through XDA's suggested topics before, so I apologize if this is a beaten dead horse.
I've had a problem for a while, I believe when my phone (CDMA HTC Hero) was stock, then through Fresh, CM6 and now CM7 2.3.3. at least 50% of the time I try to answer an incoming call it immediately "boops" at me and hangs up. Additionally, at least 50% of the time I have to send/dial a number more than once for it to connect. It will ring, click off a few seconds and "boop", hang up. Often the person on the other end will tell me their's rang once but when they picked up I wasn't there.
Now adding to this oddness, unless I go through a tunnel I almost never drop a call once it's active. Adding more wierdness, I found out my sister who also has a CDMA HTC Hero (rooted so I could add wireless tether but otherwise still on Sprint's 2.1 stock) experiences the same sort of conditions.
Is there something I can solve here or is it just an anomaly I continue to live with for another couple months till I upgrade? Thanks to this forum and the developers I've managed to remain happy w/ my phone for 2 years because I get to make it "new to me" every couple months (more and more often, it's addictive) but I feel it's showing it's age and I'm ready to upgrade.
Thanks, Travis
have you updated your PRL and such recently?? sometimes that causes phone answering wonkiness..
I often say I know just enough to be dangerous
.....a search tells me the PRL is my phone's list of local towers?...... I haven't intentionally done this ever. Do I need to somehow flash back to a stock ROM (avail. in here?) and then restore my current after I "update PRL" or has 2.3.3 added this feature and I'm just missing it.
Thank you for the help, sorry for current ignorance

yeah.. there are plenty of stock based roms floating around here.. nifinite has some of the best..nandroid your current setup, flash a stock, then go to settings update PRL/Profile, after everything updates, just use your nandroid to get back to your current setup..
easy as pi
Nandroid equivalent to my CWM backup I assume?
I'll search to find stock based (those the sense ones?) or point me to one if you don't mind.
I'll happily do this 3.142 times if it corrects this minor irritation

pull the battery.. hold down power and home, will boot you to recovery.. wipe everything then flash the ROM again and reboot, that should fix..

Hi, My friend recently enlisted my assistance with his phone. He has no 3g signal, the phone can't make calls, and apparently Sprint was having trouble activating it even though it has a clean ESN. It appears to be rooted, and has a custom ROM. I tried installing an EXE to flash me back to stock, but I dont have the correct driver I suppose. I intend to continue reading as I have been for the last 2 hours. Does anyone have any guidance? The old phone number from the previous owner is loaded. Is that halting activation?
Thank you!
I also try to connect it to Wifi. It connects, but wont let me access a web page. It halts about halfway through loading. Radio issue?
Go to this link and download the files and name it HERCIMG.zip and then put that on the root of the sdcard. Once its on the sdcard, shut down the phone. Now turn on the phone while holding the down volume button. Once it verifies the files, press the trackball to confirm the install. Once it is done the phone will reboot and be restored back to stock. Once its stock, have your friend call Sprint and retry activation. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804692

Does it Already have a Custom Recovery? If so try Downloading a Different Rom, and be sure to Wipe Data/Cache/DalvikCache!
Also try the Fresh Rom, and Update the User Profile!

It does have Clockwork mod, I'm assuming the previous owner installed a ROM, ran into this problem and bought a new phone instead of tinkering. I was directed here from SDX where I have learned some of the ins and outs with my Samsung.
I flashed a team heroC 2.3.4 which is a cyanogen I believe. It booted up fine, and is running but didnt fix my issue. It didnt wipe /System so the issue might be hidden in there? I doubt the end user will want to modify, etc. Also, I've noticed when people enlist me for these projects I also receive the complaints and am expected to do something about it.
I'll give this a shot, and then re-root, and keep trying. In the end, if I dont get it fixed I have a free hero to play with.
Thank you, and +1 to ya.

My phone has -s ON, that seems to be halting this process. I am trying to find the proper driver for this phone now. I have Windows 7, I have it plugged in, I run RUU and it says there is a USB connection error. I don't see it in Device Manager, nor do I see it try to trigger on my PC as a device.
If I rename the HERCIMG to update, and install as sd card/update.zip Will that cause an issue?
I will await a response in fear of bricking.
In Hboot it says can't find Hercdiag.zip
Other Hercdiags
and HercImg.zip
It appears that I have Hboot 1.47.0000
Would renaming to Hercimg.zip do the trick?
In this particular Zip I have:
androidinfo.txt
boot.img
Hboot 1.47
NV MFG
Radio 2.42
recovery.img
Splash
system.img
user data.img

I am s- off now if that makes any kind of difference. I guess I will keep flashing different things until I can get something to work.
I was able to log into a google account over wifi, but still no 3g icon. I flashed the Gapps because all of those were missing somehow. I really wish I could get that HERCIMG to work. It also says Im missing Hercdiag, etc too. So maybe thats the issue?
I have radio 2.42.01.04.27
Is there any further detail I can post that may help us narrow down the cause?
I wish I had the correct data cable so I could use the RUU method. I'm assuming thats why the phone isnt triggering my device manager. (If it wouldnt have the same issue with HERCIMG.zip anyway)
Its gotta be something retarded that I'm overlooking here.
When calling Sprint for activation, the code entered into the dialer wasnt triggering the response necessary for activation either.
Would flashing stock recovery fix the Hboot issue. Maybe the Hboot file is corrupt? I have re-downloaded 3 times, but from the same mediafire host.

Actually now that you are S-OFF put the HERCIMG.zip onto your sdcard and boot into your bootloader. Don't worry about the others missing. Those are irrelevant. Boot into the bootloader when your phone is off by holding volume down and pushing power button. Then when asked for a confirmation press the trackball.
I made some progress. I formatted my SD card to FAT32, It was FAT before. Copied the file over, was able to flash that HERCIMG file.
Once I got logged in, it appears that this phone has been flashed to REVOL. So I guess I have more homework trying to switch it back to Sprint? It has the Sprint Programs installed, and Sprint boot screen.
It has a revol lockscreen, and the carrier in "About Phone" is listed as Revol.
What now? booo... Am I SOL?

The only way to flash back to Sprint is illegal and I don't even know how to do it and if I did I wouldn't do it cause it's illegal.

Thank you for letting me know that it is illegal. I am likely not to look into the issue further. If I do, I will not post about it. Thank you again for your help. At least I learned a bit about HTC vs. my Samsung in the guidance I received here.
If someone knows of a non-illegal method, please PM me.
Running Beanstalk.
Have been having intermittent issues with mobile data, so I'm sadly familiar with toggling Airplane mode, changing the CMDA subscription, rebooting, etc. in order to jog mobile data into working again. Lately have been having a weird, sporadic problem with people I call only hearing static on my end, so I chatted with Sprint, got to the point where they suggest typing the code to reset/update PRLs into the dialer, and bailed.
Then, in my infinite wisdom decided to try flashing a Sense ROM, proceeding with the manual PRL update/reset, and then wiping and restoring my Beanstalk nandroid.
Now I can't make or receive calls or texts at all, no matter what I do. Have tried all the old toggles. Have tried a complete reflash of Beanstalk. I'm beginning to worry I seriously borked something up.
Is anyone familiar with this kind of situation? Did I screw up, and if so, how bad? Any solutions anyone can think of? I'd be most grateful for any and all help. Thanks guys.

Okay here is what you can do, there is an app floating around these forums that can allow you to manually write the prl, find that, and then use a stock prl for sprint. I believe this post will help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2296167
Let me know if that helps.
Oh and also yeah flashing a different rom wouldnt help because they do not contain any of that information, in fact i think all the carrier information is stored in a different partition for this exact reason -so they cant be easily overwritten.
I build the Beanstalk here and haven't come across that issue yet. Do you have a backup of your original stock ROM? You need to get back to straight stock, like out of the box stock. From there, you can update your prls or anything else OTA-style, check your functionality, then redownload the Beanstalk ROM from here, do a full wipe(no internal data), install the fresh DL, Gapps, fix permissions(PhilzTouch 6.0.3.3 only), and reboot. Should be good to go and should only need to toggle airplane for reboots and occasionally for the wifi. Let me know how it goes, either here, on the BS thread or by PM. Good luck....
If you have no original back up(after getting back to straight stock, MAKE ONE), then use Bigdaddy619s threads on getting back to stock. After that, then follow the steps above.
You should always make an original back up of stock directly after rooting and unlocking. ALWAYS

Thanks, both of you.
BMP - Beanstalk rules - it's definitely my fault. If I have a back-up made just after getting S-OFF, would that work?
matinm90 - thanks for the info...that explains exactly what the problem I'm having is.
I'll try these solutions out and post back. Thanks again guys.
Yes, it should as long as everything worked then. Driving right now. Try it and let me know. When I get home I'll help however I can.

Your welcome and yeah it should defintely work, just make sure you use the right prl
Worked!
I think what I'd originally goofed was not immediately rebooting after the prl update, since the Sprint lady didn't mention that step (or maybe I didn't hear her). This time I immediately rebooted and data came back, and then I was able to flash BeanStalk and stay functional.
Many thanks to both of you!

has any one been having any trouble with their wifi on their nexus 6, randomly the wifi toggle will stop working the toggle will be off and it still says "Turning Wi-Fi on..." i've booted into recovery and cleared cache and rebooted the phone and it worked the first time and it's been acting up again and this time clearing the cache isn't working does anyone else have any ideas without doing a factory reset.

maybe try just flashing the system img, then wipe cache's again before booting. if that doesnt work, its may be time for the dreaded fdr.
I've never been into flashing system img & fdr? It's just sad because I had the same issue before also losing signal with my device. Til I got a replacement and the replacement device is starting to act up also.

my only other suggestion would be to re-flash. you could try just the system partition, but if it were me i would just go all in for full clean flash.
im sure Simms will get on me for saying so, but you can just grab wugs toolkit and be done in 20min or so.

I've never flashed before i know from what i hear its really easy for Nexus devices. but i'm just curious what would of caused this like from my first N6 since December and it acts up now in Sept and having the replacement N6 acting up the same way.
Is it rooted with mods or completely stock? If stock, try deleting the saved wireless networks..

these random issues usually come from a corrupt file, either by an update or some other means. its hard to impossible to pinpoint the cause usually.
if you never flashed before, its best to read up on it a bit first. wugs walks you through the steps, from downloading the files, and drivers, to the flashing. its not foolproof, but if you follow the lead of the script, its not hard to figure out.

well i have before but that was so long ago and that was for my MyTouch and HTC Sensation but that was years ago. Now I know things are easier but I've never really been into flashing and the only reason I did back then was for updates and different version of Sense UI but since I've been using Nexus Devices I didn't have a need or desire to actually flash. Pretty much I'm a NOOB! :laugh:
but I don't see why wouldn't a factory reset fix it. even if it was temp.

a factory reset only deletes data, it does not restore any of the file system to its original state.

clearing the cache is always a good idea, i think i suggested that earlier.
i dont know how to explain well what cache is exactly, its not part of the file system, its more like temp data storage i believe.

def of cache from google
"In cell phones and networks, a cache usually refers to a memory storage area in the phone or network that stores copies of information that is likely to be needed in the near future, so it can be accessed faster."
i dont know how to flash with a chrome book, if possible. sorry

thats pretty consistent with what i said earlier. these type of issues frequently arise after updates. files dont update exactly right and something gets corrupted.

i decided to call T-Moblie and talk to them they told me to take it to a store and get it dianogsed and they will call to get it replaced since it is the 64GB and stores don't have it.... I just want the Wi-Fi to work even though i don't use it all the time but still.
I've recently tried flashing pixel experience and various other roms via twrp. However, Everytime I load the phone up, I either have no service, data, or sometimes 3g briefly. When I try to go to carrier settings I get a ".com.android.phone has stopped." Error message, any advice on how to fix this?

Obviously you haven't done a proper clean flash. I've flashed every rom available and no fcs. Only time I've had signal trouble was with att(gsm). Never lost signal, would just go from 2 bars to none then back again, but never lost signal.
Oh, search pe thread for my name to see the correct way to flash.

I don't know what to say. I boot into twrp, wipe dalvik, cache, system, data and then I flash the rom. Once I boot, I have the service issue. Could it be not flashing gapps?

1 - gapps has nothing to do with signal
2 - you seem to flash like most others here, I don't, and don't have issues they do.
3 - info was posted, follow it, or don't. Up to you.
4 - Best of luck!

Can you link the thread that you were talking about how to flash properly? I can't seem to find it. Sorry if I came off as brash, was just a little frustrated at my own mistakes.

Sorry man, but I'm not much of a spoon feeder - give a man a fish etc etc.
Get some sleep - relax - tackle it tomorrow - maybe without the frustrating you will find what you need to see (it is right there).
Riddle me this - a rom is a rom and as a rom a rom can be found in the ___ section. Simple isn't it.
Have a good night!

Hey, after decrypting my phone and using the method you posted in the pe thread to flash roms, I am still getting service problems. I've also noticed that anytime I have tried to open carrier settings on the phone, I get a ".com.android.phone has stopped." So I cant update the prl at all. I've seen people post about modifying the APN settings but I thought that was irrelevant on sprint. I'm honestly out of ideas.

Well, when nothing helps, it's time to go back to stock.
Get firmware for your location - different firmware (modem especially) for different markets.
Don't use any "tools" or .bat files you find here and flash with fastboot - do 1 command at a time and note results, (remove sim before flashing and reinsert after you've booted into stock once).
See what happens. Sometimes things get messed up enough to where flashing stock is the only thing to do. That'll really clean it out.
I had a real funky issue when going from att to vz. Spent hours with straight talk trying to sort it out (had 4g but no calls or texts). Flashed stock - popped sim in - bang - everything working, and has been ever since and I've flashed them all, some several times, still good.

When I first got my xt1806 I didn't load a Sim card in it when I powered it up, I immediately unlocked the bootloader, installed recovery, flashed a ROM and just used WiFi for a few days with no issues. But once I did put a new Sim in it I noticed all I could get was 3g - and with every other ROM I installed all I could get was 3g no matter what I tried. The only solution was to fastboot flash back to stock, install the Sim, power it up, & let it "register"(send a text or make a call & also verify 4g works) with the network. I'm not saying you did the same thing I did, but the fix should be flashing back to stock.
*Copy your internal memory somewhwere before you reflash stock in case everything gets wiped.
*I'm on Verizon btw, so my experience may or may not apply to Sprint.
Sprint problems with 4g
I know this isn't my thread but I shall try anyway. I have the Sprint version of the g5 s plus. I have tried every way of flashing a rom that I can think of (all wipes rom then gapps magisk, magisk then gapps, rom and no gapps or magisk, etc.). I cannot manage to keep 4g after flashing. I have backed up my efs with twrp and tried restoring it. Nothing. I've used fastboot to flash nhlos erase modems1&2 flash fsg. I tried *#*#463whatever to turn it back on and nothing. I've checked all settings and tried all things I know of. Still nothing. The only way I can get/keep 4g is by using stock rooted which I hate. . Is this just a specific problem to my type of phone or is there something I'm missing? Is there a different firmware or modem I could use or something? Any thoughts or ideas would be great cause I'm stumped.
