Please help, I am stuck at 60678. Most times when i try to update the PRL from the phone it fails, occasionally it says that it succeeds, but when I reboot, it is still at 60678. I have contacted sprint twice now, and each time they try to reset and reactivate without success. They always end the call by saying they will force an update which should occur within the hour...it never does. Is there a process to manually update to 60680? I am rooted.

I've seen this happen a lot, and it happened to me. If it won't update, your phone isn't properly activated in Sprint's network. Sprint doesn't know how to fix it, either. They have to just give you a new phone.

yeah just don't let them tell you it's normal. they were like "oh yeah it says failed if there isn't an update".
Idiots.
So what's the benefit of 60680 vs the previous prl? I'd hate to take a phone back because of something like a prl update issue. I know how to manually upload prl files using software on PC, so I don't see it as a big deal.

not being able to update prl/profile is a big issue, you really should take it back

guess you better restore a backup before you played with that avast stuff....you really don't need mobile security if you only install safe market apps.
what should i do in this case?

If you don't have a backup of Viper or another ROM before you started mucking, you might try searching and learning about RUU.

Well, if you completely ran the RUU and updated to the latest, I can only think of two things:
1. Your phone is blacklisted
2. Your phone hardware is damaged.
It could just be a coincidence that you flashed apps and ROMs prior to it dying. Relock and return to your vendor is all I got...

I work for tmo, quick question, how long has it been since you got a new sim card? You want to get a new one every year or so. Just make sure you go to a corporate store and not a branded retailer. I don't trust those guys. And if the store has one in stock, ask for a sim made in India. By far the best reception. Either the rep or you will have to cut it to micro though, it's a standard sized sim card.

Hey guys, so I was running MIUI for about 3 days when all of a sudden after class one day my phone literally wouldnt receive or send texts or calls and when I tried to call something it said no data available...I tried everything, I've wiped data/cache/dalvic, restored a backup, flashed a stock radio, a rooted radio, and even used odin to flash back to stock. My flash counter was never incremented, my bootloader is relocked, I even installed the latest Verizon update to ensure I wasn't rooted anymore. I don't know what to do, can somebody maybe help me? I'm lost and I don't wanna go back to my old phone, any help at all would be more than appreciated...
You have lost your IMEI, fried your SIM, or just need to reprovision your SIM. I would try the reprovision first, but it will wipe all of your data. You can do a search and it will give you the dialer code.
That sucks man. I cant help you with your radio problem but if you unrooted and updated through verizon successfully cant you just take it back. It should still be covered under warrenty. i hope you get it figured out, Good Luck.

Also I have checked my phone info and my phone number is still there as well as my IMEI, I don't know what happened. If my bootloader is locked, flash counter is decremented and I'm back on stock can take it to Verizon safely? also how do I tell if my bootloader is locked and flash counter is decremented when im not rooted? just to be sure

I am having the same issue as you are, but it seems everyone gave up on you. Did you ever resolve your issue?
hi everyone. I need some help here with my At&t Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. I had my phone unlocked and work on T-mobile GSM fine but I only got EDGE for data. I then flash it with with a T-mobile radio according to the instruction here at XDA forrum to try to get 3G/4G. after flashing the radio the baseband in the phone showed "unknown" and I lost both GSM and EDGE. the phone even didn't recognize my SIM card,I don't know If I did something wrong.
Here How I did
1. I flash CWM 5.8.x
2 I update to CWM 14.x.x touch version
3. Root the phone with SuperSU busy box
4. Flashing tmo_SGH-T989_VK1.zip radio
5. No signal.
It seem to be the radio I tried to flash didn't go in correctly. BTW I still keep the stock ROM form At&T (ICS 4.0.4)
Any one have experienced the same problem like me ?
Thank you very much for helping me out.
Just so I'm clear, you flashed a T-Mobile Only Radio on an A T&T Sim card? Check your APN too.

I flashed T-mobile radio on AT&T phone not SIM card. I lost my original AT&T Radio and new T-mobile radio didn't go in, now the phone doesn't read my T-mobile SIM card. I cannot access mobile network to check APNs without a valid SIM card since the phone doesn't see it.

I finally understand the problem the phone simply doesn't accept the radio. I flashed the new radio and turn out the original radio was removed and new one didn't go in. when i flashed a full stock ROM the original radio came back. may be the ROM and radio have to be compiled together.

Uh no you have to flash the modem before the ROM to get a good flash from what I've seen. Also I think almost every radio exempting maybe gingerbread radios as I haven't tested them should work on every ROM exempting maybe tw based.

The Rom or radio can be flashed in any sequence. The order they are flashed in has no effect.

Fixed that for you. You forgot to mention that you have to hold your breath while you wipe dalvik 3 times, cache 6 times, factory reset 2 times, perform a backup and then flash a kernel from a different device.

Use Kies to recover it... it works

help, please!!!!
I'm not really a newbie, but haven't really had an android in my hands for a while and EVERYTHING IS SO DIFFERENT!!!! I have a gs3 (sch-s968c) which is the galaxy s3 available from straight talk. I wanted to reserve power and take out all the bloatware, so I attempted to root it, using Odin. I tried it 7 times so far and it has not been successful. Now when I enter recovery mode I keep getting a screen that says:
odin mode
product name:sch-s968c
custom Binary download: yes (7 counts)
current binary: Custom
system status: official
qualcomm secureboot: enable
followed by: "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again"
Here's the issues: I did not ensure that I had the correct drivers and didn't have kies set up (new to kies). I can not find drivers for this exact model, and the computer is not recognizing my phone when it's plugged in (no opportunity to explore phone files)
Right now I have the sd card out (it came from a sorry explanation for a droid from straight talk (lg optimus, I think). I CAN STILL, HOWEVER, GET INTO DOWNLOAD MODE.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

I've lost service as well. I rooted using the Impactor method. Root was successful, I downloaded and successfully flashed the latest version of CWM Touch Recovery, then I flashed the newest version of BeanStalk ROM. The phone wouldn't get passed the "Select Language" section without bootlooping. So I pulled the battery, booted back into Recovery, wiped and re-installed my Nandroid backup. After I restored, my phone wouldn't receive service or data. Also, under About Device/Status, the network now says Unknown, Mobile network type says Unknown, Service state says Out of service, and my Phone number also says Unknown. How do I re-register my device back onto the Straight Talk network?? If I install CM 10.2 will that fix my issues? Or am I at the mercy of the Straight Talk Customer Service gurus? Is there anyway to manually program my device back onto the network?

This APP is asking for a SIM card to be inserted into a GSM phone. MY phone is the CDMA variant that doesn't use a SIM card. Is there any other way to get this phone registered onto the network? I guess I'm about to call Straight Talk to see what their tech support (if any) can figure out.
If it helps any, My Network says Unknown, Service State says Out of service, Mobile network state says Disconnected, My phone number says Unknown, the MIN says Unknown, PRL version is set to 1, IP address is Unavailable, and under device it says Modified.

at home, i have the packet for the BYOP plan, and in it is a QR code for both GSM and another for CDMA versions.. This is supposed to take you to download an app that will up your settings for you.

Might be worth trying to set your settings to that to see what happens.
I know when i flashed CM10.2 and CM11 on mine, the data settings worked without me having to change anything.. so that maybe something worth trying.
No luck with anything. I believe my problem was flashing a native Verizon TW ROM, instead of just going the AOSP route. Maybe the kernel or the modem/radio conflicted with it somehow, kicking it completely off of the network. What is the PRL supposed to be? My PRL is set to "1". I'm thinking that could be the reason it can't see the network.
Is there any way to either manually program the phone onto the network, or either reflash the stock kernel or radio?

There isnt really a way to program the device manually...but might i make a suggestion? try resetting the phone. now that you have the nandroid restore done, try going ahead and doing a factory reset from the settings. Surprisingly it helped my issue.
