[Q] Roms unable to activate after installation

So I installed clockwork and then installed an unlocked bootloader, after that I booted into recovery and installed cm 10 and gapps after I wiped data. Once that all finished I started the phone up I was already activated and stuff like that, but every time I would restart it would bring up a screen talking about activating my phone, and it never did anything just sat on that screen.
So I looked around and saw a post with someone having the same issue, and someone told them to wipe data and clear dalvik cache, so that's what I did. Once I started it back up, I had to go through the setup process again, this time it stopped and activated my phone, but it fails every time.
How could I fix this? I also tried installing cm10.1 and Liquid and neither of those would activate either.
If all else fails I will do http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867253 but I'm afraid that won't work correctly either..

Had the same problem after flashing the Carbon rom. Try going in settings>More>Mobile Networks>Preferred Network Mode. Select CDMA / EvDo auto. Reboot.

Ah that fixed it! I didn't have to activate either, it just started working.
Oddly though I tried dialing *22890 and it failed to activate.

I do have another question though, when I reboot it still seems to come up with the activation screen. Any idea how I can stop that from happening?

[Q] Phone stuck when turning on

Over the summer I rooted my Droid Razr HD phone and recently have been trying different roms to use and finally found one I liked (Liquid JB official). After being out late one night my phone died because it ran out of battery. Once I got home I tried plugging it in and letting it charge for awhile before turning it back on. When I finally tried turning it on my phone got stuck on the red Motorola "M" symbol. I let it sit for almost 30 min thinking it was just trying to load everything but this never changed. Is this usual for a rooted phone not to be able to turn on? It seems to me like my phone is not able to find the boot up file for the rom? Any help would be great I really would like to go back to using a different rom.
This problem has also happened to me using other roms to like Beanstalk and Eclipse and happens whether my phone dies or I shut it off or just reboot it.

thats defiantly not normal. you should wipe everything 100% clean and start over, also updating your recovery to the latest version. during the wipe process make sure you wipe "data-media-/sdcard" too (NOT external sd, unless you want to and have things backed up).
also, its extremely bad for the battery to let it run down to the point where it shuts off. its only a matter of time, repeatedly doing that, before you plug it in and it will not charge no matter how long you leave it on for.

When I am installing a new rom I wipe Dalvik Cache, System, Data, and Cache each three times and then I also Format Data Three times. Is this what you mean my wipe everything 100%?
Also I am currently running TWRP v2.5.0.0, I have found a newer version on twrps website but when I go into Rom Manager and check for updates my phone does not come up as a possible clockworkmod Recovery?

In all likelihood, this is not a LiquidSmooth issue. I would suggest a clean install as the previous posters suggested. The latest stable version of LS is now at v2.10 for Android 4.3
LS 2.10 must be installed as follows, according to the devs:
New Flashing Instructions
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
format /system
Install ROM, NOT GAPPS YET!!
Reboot system, first boot may take a few minutes, don't panic ;-D
Setup your phones settings, anything that isn't Google related
or let your phone sit for 5 minutes
reboot back into recovery
wipe cache and dalvik
then flash gapps
reboot and enjoy

For the xt926, the download page for LS 2.10 is here: http://d-h.st/users/jsnweitzel/?fld_id=15202#files
gapps 8/13 or newer are supposed to be used with this ROM. dl from here: http://d-h.st/users/jsnweitzel/?fld_id=21058#files
The official ROM page is over at G+ https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/117452480298315341829, if you have any additional questions.
Give it a whirl, and let us know what happens. Good luck.

you are wiping very well, i was just confirming you wipe everything possible short of the external sd.
the wipe im talking about in twrp is wiped when you wipe "data", the one where you have to type "yes" before it will wipe. in cwm, in the formatting section (i forget what its called), there is an option that specifically says "data-media /internal sd" or something close to that.
as for the latest recoveries, here is a tool by Tucstwo that i have been updating lately http://www.mediafire.com/download/2o061zcmzlaycb5/Razr_HD_Recovery_Flasher_V8.rar
also, twrp 2.5 doesnt have all the selinux bugs worked out, you need 2.6.3.0, which is in the above utility.

[Q] Bad Motherboard?

Alright Guys so I'm having some issues with my Infuse 4G.. I purchased this phone like a year ago on ebay for $40 with a cracked screen. since it was an emergency i had to buy it. I flashed CM10 and everything worked excellent. one time, I dont remember the reason i had to go back to stock (GINGERBREAD) and once I flashed it (MAYBE I DID SOMETHING WRONG?), the phone kept on freezing, the screen would go black and the lights at the bottom was the only things i could see. Sometimes it would restart by itself, sometimes apps would stop responding at a soft reboot I did wipe/factory reset, wipe cache & delvik cache on recovery before doing anything. So basically the errors would usually say
SORRY!
ANDROID.PROCESS.ACORE STOPPED RESPONDING UNEXPECTEDLY. (this is not the actual message, but something very similar)
SORRY
GOOGLE PLAY.PROCESS.STOPPED RESPONDING UNEXPECTEDLY.
And so on.. so I had to do a soft reboot again to get the phone working again. If i go to FROYO, the phone would NOT let me set up a password, and when i pressed the power button only the option (POWER OFF) when some other options like AIRPLANE MODE, SOUND PROFILE should be visible. So on Friday, I flashed the new CM11 and still the same issue occurs with the GINGERBREAD one.. it freezes, lights light up at the bottom and restarts I did a GTG'S Ultimate Unbrick and no luck, So its been really annoying because this is awesome phone, I wanted to ask for any suggestions? I would deff appreciate any of your help as is driving me nuts..

[FIX] [4.4.2] - [4.4.4] GPS Fix + Fix after Custom ROM Install's *Samsung* Kit Kat

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DATA LOSS / DEVICE MALFUNCTION(S)
Have You recently Lost Data (and/or) GPS After Installing a Custom ROM to your Samsung Device?
THIS SHOULD*** Bring Your Data / GPS Fix / Location Services Over Cellular Network Back after Installing a Custom Rom and losing these abilities.
This MAY*** also work to bring Data/GPS back on a Stock ROM as well!​​
You will Need;
USB Cable
PC
Device
Stock ROM for your Device (Search Google for "*Device Name* Stock Rom")
ODIN v1.85
***BEFORE RUNNING THROUGH THE STEPS BELOW BOOT INTO *CUSTOM* RECOVERY (not stock) and WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET, WIPE THE CACHE, THEN GO INTO ADVANCED AND WIPE THE DALVIK CACHE. THIS IS A MUST. RINSE AND REPEAT 3x, AKA DO A WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET, WIPE CACHE, AND (ADVANCED) WIPE DALVIK CACHE***​
Step 1: Download your Device Specific Stock Rom
Step 2: Download Odin v1.85
Step 3: Put Device into Download Mode (Power Your Device OFF, Hold Volume Down, Power and Home Key **if your device has a home key that is**)
Step 4: Run Odin v1.85
Step 5: Plug the Device (now in download mode) into your PC via USB Connection
Step 6: **Don't Uncheck F.Reset Time, Don't Uncheck Auto Reboot
Step 7: Click the PDA "Button"
Step 8: Select the Device Specific Stock Rom file you downloaded in Step 1^
Step 9: Hit the Start "Button" and Let the Stock Rom Flash
Step 10: Turn Device on to Get a GPS fix, and test your Data Connection!​
After you have run through these steps ^ let the device reboot (or power it on) and check to see that your Data/GPS is back online. Test Google Maps, Test Picture Messaging, Test Internet Function through a browser, Download a file through a Browser etc.​
Once you have verified that Data and GPS are back online, go ahead and Re-Flash a Custom Recovery through ODIN, Obtain Root, and Re-Flash Custom ROM (as you did to prior to Data/GPS loss)​
**FOLLOW THE SAME PROCEDURES STEP BY STEP TO RE-FLASH CUSTOM ROM**
Personally I did this with a Sprint Galaxy S5 from Vanir Rom to Stock then back to Custom OS (PAC Rom), as well as a couple other Roms. I had lost LTE, DATA, and GPS!​
This may be an old school method... It is old school because it works! :fingers-crossed: Don't be Lazy and Enjoy all your Custom Android Fun!​
***Like, Thumbs Up, Donate, Whatever ya feel like, SHOW SOME LOVE IF THIS HELPED!!***​

Thanks!
I've encountered a similar issue with my Galaxy S2 (T989) running AOKP ROM, WildKernel, and TricksterMod to overclock. I'm not sure where the issue came from, but it will find my initial location, but then stop working right once I start trying to drive (when I use maps for navigating). I wasn't sure if this was an app issue, since I installed Micro G Apps, but then updated the Google maps etc. on the Play Store (does that cause problems?).
I'm interested in trying your method, but I don't want to lose all the data on my phone...

Just wanted to bump this thread up a little, and confirm that this works PERFECTLY.
Was getting a 0 fix in GPS Test on the 5.0.1 GPE ROM. Flashed back to stock (make sure you use the same baseband version that your phone is currently on), finished initial setup, switched GPS to DEVICE ONLY, opened Maps, let it locate me, immediately shut my phone off. Went back into Download mode, used Odin to flash TWRP, flashed the GPE ROM again, booted up and opened GPS Test again. With my HTC Nexus 9, I usually get about 15 visible satellites, with a lock on around 8-10 of them. On my SPH-L720T, I had 32 visible satellites, and was locked onto 24!! GPS was accurate within 6 feet. For anyone that knows anything about GPS, within 6 feet on a phone is ridiculously accurate.
Thank you for the fix. The only issue I had with GPE ROM was the GPS not locking on. Now, it is a 100% PERFECT S4 ROM. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE FIX!!!

In settings>Status Bar, make sure heads up notifications are on. Then, in Display&Lights, check DT2sleep, DT2wake, and Prevent acc. Wake-up. Then, in profiles, make sure the lock screen option has system default set. If that doesn't work, wipe cache and dalvik in recovery. If that fails, I would try flashing the rom again. If you've recently gone from KK to 5.0 or something like that, you might need a full wipe (data, dalvik, cache) so back up anything important beforehand. Good luck!
