[Q] Can't send/receive calls or texts after screwing with PRL

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.

Reinstalling ROM from scratch and if that doesn't work then running ARU.

What's ARU? I did try reinstalling the ROM from scratch and it didn't fix it.

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!

No service on virgin mobile Desire 510 suddenly

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.

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.

Noob needs major help. TWRP Bootloop Unable to Factory Install

I have been experiencing certain issues w my phone and decided to do a factory reset.
Originally i was getting the TWRP loop when my celluar phone provider was trying to push an update.
Well after doing the factory reset, it went into TWRP. I"m not sure why, but that's where I am. I currently do not have an OS installed.I tried downloading a purenexus_shamu-7.1.1-20170215-OFFICIAL rom through some thread that I read, hoping to get a rom installed (excuse my terminology)
The system updated the partition, flashed itself, but still boots into TWRP.
I was at times able to get into the Pure rom? But then it had no apps. not even google play for me to use to download more apps.
Can someone pls provide a step by step of what to do to get me back up and running and disable this TWRP program permanently?
Thank you.

Well, the question is:
Honestly... Did you ever read the PureNexus thread?
Check this post for a detailed install (Google apps links in first post):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61653759&postcount=4
If you want to start fresh, just flash a factory image of your choice (I advise the latest)
Follow this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/guide-flash-factory-images-nexus-6shamu-t2954008
Backup your datas first...
Don't flash userdata partition if your phone is not a 32GB model...
Also, don't mess with your phone unless you read enough and know what you are doing otherwise you could break it for good...

i was able to install it and get the gapps running
the problem is it didnt fix anything
i still cant really work the dialup unless it is via bluetooth. (am forced to reboot to be able to use the phone during a call)
my front facing camera still does not work.

Follow the guide posted above to get it back to stock. There shouldn't be a calling issue on that rom. Must be something janky during the flash process. Just get back your phone e to stock and see if everything works.

XT1803 European Firmware

Hello,
I'm hoping to return my XT1803 to stock , and I'm just wondering if anybody knows of (or even just a Nandroid/TWRP backup) a link to download the European version of the stock firmware for the XT1803?
The official firmwares on the Firmware Centre Website that I've had a look at (and all of the download links that I've seen), are all for the US version, unless I'm just being an idiot and these would work too (but then it would be the wrong baseband?)?
Many thanks in advance for helping.

Well, if you skipped flashing the modems and fsg partitions, nothing should have changed as far as radios and bands.
I could only suggest resetting network settings - there's an option in the os for that, but I can't remember where right off (I'm running 8.1 and is different in 7.x), but it is there.
If that's a no go - factory reset the device.
If that's a no go restore the bu of what you had and be happy with it.
A second to last resort would be flashing the entire stock firmware you have, including modems and fsg, and see what happens. Just make sure the flash is successful - it should say okay after each command is run.
The last option would be to see a moto/Lenovo (whoever) service center and have them flash the stock firmware.
Personally, I would stay with custom roms, but the state of custom for this device right now is questionable at best. There are enough of them, but I have little confidence in most of them - very few work 100% but the few that do are decent enough.
Ps - something I have seen is a loss of imei when going back to stock (not by me - I've flashed stock a few times and no issues, but I have xt1806). Check that.

That is what I thought in regards to the radio, so I flashed the one from the firmware as a what's the worse that could happen, but it has made no difference, except the signal is now much worse, I did try resetting the network settings but it hasn't helped.
I did want to stay with a custom rom, but I was unable to find one I liked, as you say, the custom roms for this device are questionable and most of them are not polished.
I normally use my phone as a hot spot, and I really need the extra speeds that 4G gives, which is why I'm looking to fix the issue if possible.
I did have a look to see if there's a service centre near me, but I can't see one, so I may just wait to see anybody is able to provide me with the correct firmware (or even just the modem and fsg would be excellent).

I normally use my phone as a hot spot, and I really need the extra speeds that 4G gives, which is why I'm looking to fix the issue if possible.
I did have a look to see if there's a service centre near me, but I can't see one, so I may just wait to see anybody is able to provide me with the correct firmware (or even just the modem and fsg would be excellent).

Did you back everything up in twpr - including efs partition after unlocking?

verizon data

hey, i haven't rooted a phone for personal use since kitkat came out, so it was weird to see cwm and supersu outdated and crusty. anyway, i did my research and bought this phone to play with. these are the steps i took:
unlocked bootloader
flashed twrp
flashed magisk and rebooted
flashed aokp, gapps, then magisk
watched it fail to boot according to plan
wiped and flashed aosp extended, gapps, and magisk
set it up and put in a verizon sim card
so everything's good except for the random weird buggy stuff. my only problem is that i can't get service above 3g. like an idiot i didn't test the phone out before i rooted it... i'm going to try my backup then maybe different roms, but does anyone know anything? i tried search and didn't find anything helpful.

I use Straight Talk, which uses Verizon, all is well with mines. I never had to backup EFS or anything when I first rooted my phone but maybe that's a good Idea for you to do. Return to stock xt1806 April patch. And take OTA updates and backup efs after you reinstall twrp. Than flash your custom ROM. Is you don't have the speed you need then restore efs from twrp. Also make sure your didn't use all of your data on your plan [emoji39]

well i made the backup using defaults for twrp but i guess i didn't do it right and it can't boot now. any way to fix this?
edit: i mean, now i wipe and restore and the phone won't boot. i'm not bricked if i install the rom back. i don't even need anything fancy, just root access, lte data, and a 64-bit os.
i'm sorry for needing extra help. i did a week of research before i got the phone and thought i had all my ducks in a row.

Just reinstall twrp and try flashing another ROM. If not return to stock and rerooted. But take backups of efs while doing it

I kinda did the exact same thing as you - unlocked bl, installed recovery, installed custom rom & then inserted Verizon sim...and I got the same result: no 4g.
You can try other ROMs and you may get lucky(I know I didn't get that lucky) but I ended up having to fastboot flash full stock(no need to relock bootloader) & let the Verizon sim register with the network. Once you boot into stock & see that lil 4g/lte icon you're good to go & can root, reflah twrp, rom, etc.
I think it's just a Verizon thing. Verizon making things difficult for custom software? No way - never - get outta here with that They do have the best service though. A lil pricey, but reliable AF.

i will try again. i found a post for the stock rom so i'm working on flashing it now. thanks very much for your advice and patiemce.
edit: ah thanks, bob. yeah, i have a habit of opening the box, glancing at the warranty, crumpling/disposing of it, and getting to rooting without much forethought.
uck, sorry but i'm searching for the stock us firmware and can't seem to find it. the one was an ad and everything i can find is for international or india. i know i messed up when i took my backup so i'm already kicking myself.

I had issues going to Verizon with custom roms. The fix was to flash stock, was all good after that. Just skip the erase modemst1 and t2 commands.
