I've hard reset it like advised and haven't installed any 3rd party apps.
After I wait a few hours, the phone will start to respond, but will be significantly sluggish.
I believe I should have posted this in the general section (Not sure, I'm fairly new to these forums)

I think it's time you bring it to your local Verizon store and show them. Tell them "Look, I turn on the phone, and I can't use it!" I'm guessing they're smart enough to realize you need a replacement because that's not normal. I'm sure they'll give you another replacement.
If they don't, flash a ROM and see if it works. If everything works with the custom ROM, then it was obviously a Verizon stock ROM flaw (which I doubt since this doesn't seem common).
Yea, I had to pay for my first replacement ($50)
I hear the official 6.5 is out, where can I find that?
Also, I don't know the first thing about flashing phones with custom ROMs

Pshh.. they gave you a faulty one now, so you shouldn't have to pay for the next replacement!
Officially, WM6.5 for the TP2 is for the Unlocked GSM European TP2. It's only for GSM networks, though (you have CDMA, so you can't flash that!).
Custom ROM flashing: I learned from a pictorial. Just follow everything! Always flash a CDMA Rhodium/TP2 ROM (you can find those at PPCGeeks) to your Verizon/Sprint/Telus TP2.
Most ROMs are not going to be suited for your phone (keyboard), so some fixes are found here.
Some of the famous CDMA ROMs are MightROMs and EnergyROMs. Find one that suits you!
*CDMA = Sprint/Verizon/Telus
GSM = Unlocked/Tilt2/T-Mobile* ROMs are made specifically for one network, and a particular device. So, never flash a GSM ROM onto a CDMA phone, and never flash a TP1 ROM to a TP2.
Good luck!

Actually, the US Cellular TP2 also comes with 6.5. If you don't have a US Cellular phone though, you still can't flash it and will need a custom rom.
Wow, you guys are extremely helpful over here.
So I should flash it, or ask for a new one?

I heard about that. However, like you said, it wouldn't be great with a Verizon phone since I doubt there's an official ROM floating around (there would be a ROM dump on PPCGeeks) but why would anyone want a stock ROM to replace a stock ROM?!

Ask for a new one first because we don't know if the issue you have is due to faulty hardware or software. If it's hardware, a new ROM can't do anything. If it was software or firmware(ROM), then a new ROM should be able to fix it.
If you ever need to return the phone and it has a custom ROM, you will have to re-flash the stock ROM found at thewingster. You will then have to follow the steps to return stockSPL (very bottom of the post). If you don't do these return-to-stock steps, Verizon wouldn't accept it!
Got my new one in the maill today, for free.
Thanks guys.
now.. should I flash? I want 6.5 badddd

I'm guessing wait 'til the weekend arrives. Use the phone hardcore! If anything goes wrong with it for the next few days, at least you can return it again.
If you're truly desperate, I guess you could flash!
lol there's hardcore ways to use our phone? I thought it was bad-ass all around.
Is there an ETA of when Verizon's TP2 6.5 is suppose to arrive? I thought it was December/January :\
It's out... check out the thread over at PPC Geeks.
Got it. Thanks
Hello;
I'm wondering if people could post their status for the data so that those of us who don't have data have something to tell Rogers.
My status is that Rogers won't do the Network Refresh - I've called and spoken to about half a dozen people (both in data and not) and there is obviously a memo as none are willing to do it. I've requested escalation but have not heard back.
They are insisting that even if the refresh did work, it could also revert and no longer work -- can anyone confirm whether or not they have lost data since getting their refresh?
They have also told me that they can't do the refresh for technical reasons, they've told me that the refresh won't do anything since the tower won't communicate with my phone until I put their update as it won't be compatible. So basically I'm getting the run-around ... no surprise.
I'm also on a "master ticket" which they claim only have 40 people on it - seems to me that this board has more than 40 people, so maybe there's only 40 of us that are modded and can't otherwise get data.
I'm on 1.6 now, but obviously if I can't get the data back I'll look at CursorSense32A since from what I'm reading here that seems to be the only one that reliably works w/o Rogers intervention.
Here's my current details:
Firmware version 1.6
cyanogenmod 4.2.13
Build DRC92
Baseband 62.52S.20.18H_3.22.20.17
Kernel 2.6.;29.6-cm42
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

What is from development in your post?
Hello 5[Strogino];
My apologies if this is in the wrong area: I put it here as this thread Rogers Mandatory Update is here as well. I did look to see if there was another forum and thought maybe "Software and Hacking General" but it says no noobs and as this is my second post I'm pretty sure I qualify.
I'm really just trying to get a single location where those of us who are/were affected by the mandatory update can post our current status. The original thread has a lot of people posting a lot of different scenarios and there is a lot of time covered in that thread so it's difficult to tell if people had it working, lost connectivity etc.
So with that goal in mind, can you suggest an alternate location for this thread and either maybe you can get it moved (as a sr. member?), or I can repost it there.
Thanks.
I had no data for almost a week. I then upgraded to 6.35.10.18 Radio and 1.76.2007 SPL, and then installed cursorsense rom.
My data returned within about 36 hours.
Lee
Flash the 6.x radio and 1.76 end SPL and then this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592856
It has the rogers radio.When data returns, you can revert to 3.xx radio.

Are you still giving out this bull**** advice?
HERES THE REAL SOLUTION
1. Call Customer Care *611 : Say cancel my service to get to a rep without saying anything else
2. Tell them youve updated to the newest rom and that your data isnt working ( they shouldnt ask any questions really just tell them it was from the website)
3. They will perform a resend to switch which will disconnect you from the call
4. Reboot phone and you will have data
NO NEED TO FLASH ANYTHING
5. Have Data faster than what the above solution is telling you
I can confirm this works on both rooted dreams and magics as i own both and have friends with dreams
data has not been lost once
If customer care gives you a hard time request their manager
The manager should coach them to do the data restore or hell do it himself
If the manager is a douche and wont do it (sometimes this happens)
just tell him u want to cancel because of this
they should be able to do it to prevent you from canceling your service i would think
honestly ive never had a problem finding a rep to do it in 5 seconds
just hang up if you get an idiot and try again ;P
Customer relations and customer care and the escalation support group all have access to the network refresh
If you want a manager they can resend to switch
If you want to cancel you are transferred to customer relations
who can resend to switch
AND the people that you talk to customer care can too
If your talking to tech support they are retarded
The customer care policy from a senior customer care agents mouth " Our reference says to do the resend to switch to refresh the network to restore data"
hey alan090;
I've been trying that for a week -- I'm sure this worked earlier, but this 'hack' appears to be closed. They seem to know not to do this both in the regular wireless as well as the data divisions.
Has anyone installed cursorsense and not gotten their data back?
Question #2:
Are people who have data via network refresh still getting the texts and calls to tell them they need to update?
On Amon RA's 1.6.3 Donut ROM. Had no data for about 24 hours, used the live support and got it back with a network refresh. Have had it even since. Never flashed the new radio or any new ROM. Still getting texts and calls though, quite annoying.

We all know a network refresh can get our data back. However, we don't know if it is a permanent solution. Rogers can disable phones that have the old radio again any time they like.
On top of that, getting someone to actually do the refresh is a major PITA, something I certainly am not willing to do. Calling in repeatedly to get someone who will do it is not my idea of fun.
I'd prefer to update the phone to the radio they are looking for, and then I can load on any rom I want.
I'd suggest you don't put down others suggestions, especially since they seem to work for everyone. We know the refresh works, and this method works too.

The refresh is permanent and is the PROPER method
If the Radio works thats just luck
I KNOW agents personally in customer care
I just chatted with them last night
and This is what needs to be done
Changing radio and rom for the data back is too much work even if it does work
The network refresh works for everyone
This method has not been 100% conclusive since people have flashed it and it still does nothing to bring data back

Flashing the radio is the conclusive way to bring radio back.
If you have any idea who bcrook is you would give some credit to his advice, because he is one of the ones on xda who knows his stuff about the technical aspects of things.
After flashing the radio image, I have not received any more texts or phone calls from Rogers.
Flashing the radio is very simple. You just have to make sure you do it right. I also received a network refresh, but flashing the radio is the permanent solution.
So yes. Do your network refresh. If you can, flash your radio too.
So for those who upgraded to CursorSense basically needs to stay with this ROM forever? I like this ROM but I'd like to be able to upgrade to some version of 2.x in the near future...

Ive had people on the same radios from day one with their data back
VERIFIED never touched the rogers radio and *gasp* still have data
notice you had the resend to switch as well as the radio? do you think if you didnt flash the radio it would not work magically? no it still will
you can still use the stock 1.5 image with no updates to ANYTHING and get your data back
think what you want im just trying to help you guys get your data
spend 24-48 hours waiting before you actually follow what I said to get your data back as the radio step is completely unnecessary
Oh BTW regarding those texts and/or phone calls
so dont feel special because they stopped sending them to me on my v3 radio too
Alan,
I manage 15 or so Rogers phones at work, and the only people who got texts and calls about it were our dream and magic users. The other 11 or so people did not get any messages.
Rogers would have identified who to alerts/disable by either:
a)IMEI on your account
b)doing a scan for certain phones.
"a" is much more likely, as otherwise they would pickup non-rogers customers who happened to be in a Rogers area when the scan was done.

So wait, let me get this straight...
Upgrading to the files they are looking for is "bull**** advice"
The REAL solution is calling into Rogers, threatening to cancel your account to get a network refresh?
I myself called Tech Support and Customer Care for about a week asking for a network refresh and never got one. The days that I did, nothing happened when I rebooted my phone. Eventually I just upgreaded the Radio to 1.76 and installed the default Rom (But I still have access to fastboot for future flashes). Withen about 36 hours my phone had data again.
Threatening to cancel you account is a stupid way to get data back. It's an equivilent to throwing a tempertantrum because your mom said "No more cookies unless you do your homework". Screw doing the homework, cry and tell them you'll run away is the REAL SOLUTION
I have searched and only found the posts in separate threads talking about the loss of Sprint TV, and most have not been addressed within the threads. I had Damage 2.1 ROM installed and lost Sprint TV after nearly a week. States I need to be a Sprint Customer to use this app.
I switched to the Fresh 2b ROM last night and had Sprint TV working. This morning I get the same message I am not a Sprint Customer.
I have updated the Build.prop file to show the 310120 and Sprint thinking this might help. Just curious if anyone out there with more knowledge than me has a fix for this. As I stated in a thread post, the TV on the phone is a great kid distraction at times when I need it. That and I like having everything I am paying for working.
Thanks
Interesting, I was thinking about flashing my ROM to one of the custom 2.X roms, however if this is the case I may just wait a while. Although I don't use Sprint TV alot, jniiya is right, it is a good kid distraction to have on your phone... Then again TV turns kids in to zombies.
I can run Sprint TV just find using damgeless, and I'm able to stream with no problem. I did have to restart my phone after I installed it though.

It's not a problem of getting on the phone. I have had it installed from day one with both ROMs. It works for a while, but then it gives me the error of you need to be a Sprint Customer to use this app.
I am thinking since these builds are based off the Eris it is sending some type of info back to the Sprint servers show it as a Verizon phone. I just can't figure out what it is since I have changed the build.prop file, and I am not familiar enough with these systems/codes to dig around and think of another place it would be sending back info as if it were Verizon.
This is not like a deal breaker with me in anyway. Just trying to figure it out for the future.
Thanks for reading the post.

Exact same problem here. It works for a while, then I get that error message. If I uninstall and reinstall Sprint TV (pick your favorite method), it works for a while again, but after minutes, hours, or a day (no noticeable pattern) I get that error message.
I've posted on it in several threads about this topic hoping to find a fix. People have told me to edit my build.prop file. I keep trying, but I'm new to this, and every time I try to add the lines below I have problems. The phone freezes during boot up, and I end up having to do a nandroid restore.
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=310120
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Sprint
Several threads on this forum and others say this (or variations on it) will solve the problem, but it locks my phone up. I've tried with the =, without, with spaces before and after, and at various places within the file. I wonder if I'm doing something really stupid because I don't know exactly what the formatting is supposed to be. If anybody knows of a tutorial on build.prop, I'd be thrilled to use that, but I haven't been able to find one.
Been working fine for me. Running Fresh 2.0b2 since Flipz released it.
Not to hijack, but have you tried the TV.com app? Something like that I think I uninstalled it, but I thought it was actually better than Sprint TV...
Yep, I went back to 1.5 Fresh because of Sprint TV. Sprint just got ESPN and the NCAA tourney should be on. I am crossing my fingers that Sprint releases the update in the next week or so.

No problem. I am also using damage 1.0, however, I see references to pancake (and cupcake, bikcmp) in my build.prop file. I was surprised by that. Is that normal? I did do a wipe (wipe data/factory reset) before I installed damage. In fact, I wiped before going from pancake to fresh 2.0 and again before going from fresh 2.0 to damage.
If you can post the build.prop, I'll give it a try and report back.

Sorry for the late post. I just pull it from my phone. Attached is the build.prop from Damage 1.0. Again I do not use SprintTv or have it installed so I do not know if it will fix it. You have to rename the file to build.prop and push it to /system/.
Ok so I'm watching ESPN all day long at work, and I turn it off so I can get ready to leave work.
While on the subway I try to access it and I get the "You must be a Sprint customer to view Sprint TV" or some crap like that. I'm like ok, maybe because I might be roaming on Verizon network its not letting me. So I wait until I have a good signal and try again, same error message.....
I tried restarting phone, disable and re-enable mobile network, and checked to make sure I wasn't roaming. No Luck.

I'm on SchizioPunk's Epic Experience Rom (DI18)
I have read on his Thread about him working on EB13 for Samsung Epic Phones, while I do realize some of his Rom Updates require Wiping your device, I'm a bit curious on how upgrading to his latest Cooked Rom, (when he releases it) Would Affect my Phone.
I am not with Sprint PCS. It's with Metro PCS. Got my phone "Fully" Flashed at some pretty shady place, I know for the most part, the info needed in case I had to re-input my Mobile Network's Info, but I am not positive wether or not upgrading to his latest cooked rom will require re-inputting all my Carrier's Data all over again, as, I have already stated, is not the default Carrier that came with it..
Please don't post over Titanium Backup, I'm pretty squared away on backing up as a priority. A response would be greatly appreciated.
do u have mms working with this rom?
Sorry for the old reply
Yes, EVERYTHING is working, MMS, GPS, heck even 4G will work if I pay for it using my debit card. (I have already and I tethered it.)
hm...everything working...
LOL @ Crazysnid
You saying just that wasn't either helpful or necessary, obviously you're trying to reach 10 post count -.-
I am posting this here because I received an error message stating that I could not post in the development section. Kabaldan had posted that a universal build was available now for the Photon Q and wanted feedback from those that tested it. I wanted to respond but since I can't in that thread I will do it here and hope he finds it. Anyway, I have installed the universal build and for the most part it works great. The only two issues I have are the same two issues I have found with the official cm10.1, the nightlies of cm10.2, as well as all the other custom roms that are available here for the photon Q. Those two issues are as follows:
1) I am unable to connect to my cellular companies network. I am connected through Sprint. What I want to connect to is CSpire's network since that is the company I have my cellular service with. I do not know how tomake that happen.
2) I am unable to send or receive picture messages. So I have followed the suggestions from other users and tried Go SMS, Chomp SMS, and Handsent SMS. If I have those installed I can receive picture messages, sometimes. It is not everytime but most of the time. But even with those 3rd party apps I am unable to send pictures. I have actually had one sending for an hour and half this morning. My phone kept saying "sending..." so I finally stopped it.
Now I am not sure if the two are related or not. I have read where others have had success sending and receiving witht he 3rd party apps. So I am thinking it is maybe because I am not connected to my cellular companies network. Of course, as far as I know that may have absolutely nothing to do with it. If anybody knows, I would be grateful for advice on how to fix this. Otherwise I can't get the full benefit from a custom rom. Thanks in advance.
1. Is not an issue with the ROM at all. Make sure it works on stock before going to any aftermarket ROM's.
2. If you don't have service, how can you send or receive MMS? Cart before the horse buddy, get your cell service issue sorted first.

Ok, so let me clarify my original post. When I am on the stock ROM I can send and receive MMS. It is when I go to an aftermarket ROM that I am having the issue. I can receive picture messages by using a 3rd party messaging app (such as Handsent) but I cannot send them. I currently do have service. I did not say that I did not have service. I am connected and it says my service provider is Sprint. Sprint is not my cellular company, CSpire is. I can do everything on an aftermarket ROM that I can do on stock ROM except picture messaging. I can surf the web, download apps, watch youtube videos, send and receive email, etc. I was pointing out that my phone states it is connected to Sprint's network and not CSpire's network. I am wondering if there is a difference somehwere that causes picture messaging to not work. That may not have anything to do with it but I am asking so I can rule out all possibilities.

The phone works fine when it says "Sprint" in the notification pulldown in custom ROM's, just MMS is failing? Sounds like an APN issue... I'm not sure you can configure this from the normal settings, you might need to tweak the build.prop to work for CSpire.
Hopefully someone chimes in who has CSpire... I'd say there is a build.prop change needed, which can be made into a flashable zip which all CSpire users can apply after flashing...

You are correct. On stock ROM it says CSpire. And you are also correct in that the phone works fine when it says "Sprint" in the notification pulldown in custom ROM's. And yes it seems at this point that only MMS is failing.
And since I will more than likely screw my phone up if I try to tweak it, I will wait and see if someone who knows what they are doing with CSpire (or knowledge of it) chimes in and offers a solution. Thank you for offering your assistance.
The current worldphone CM 10.2 xt897 build is made for Sprint CDMA/universal SIM modded GSM-UMTS usage.
The C-Spire variant would need at least a few changes to build.prop and different eri.xml overlay.

I'm not positive what these would be. I would also love to see them wrapped up into a flashable ZIP so we don't have to make separate ROM's just for CSpire users.
Shouldn't be too difficult, I just need to know what is different

I assumed that the build came from the original Sprint version and modded to work (or whatever the process was). That must be the same reason the other custom ROM's have the same issue. I appreciate your explanation. Now I know a little more than I already did. Just wish I had the tech know how to help you guys out.

I have no idea how to help but I would be glad to if I can. I will say this.... it might be more trouble than it is worth. CSpire is a very small local company and even though they are still selling the Photon Q online, not many of the stores have them in stock. I only know of one other person who has the phone. So there may not really be that big of a demand for this fix other than me. Everything else works great with these ROM's so I can just use alternative methods for sending pics for now. Thanks again.

lsufan72: To fully support CSpire Photon Q in the new unified CM11 builds should be fairly simple now, but I need to see the content of /proc/cmdline from CSpire Photon Q.
