I went back to a recovery which was my stock phone works now. Thanks, guess Ill try and flash the stable and not the nightly.

Do you have a imei number? Menu, settings, about phone, and status. Your imei number would be there.

Droid Charge Stuck In Some Kind Of Test Mode

So I'm trying to fix a phone for someone but I can not find a way. Basically the phone says the IMEI is all 0's and even if you put a sim in it has a O with a line through it instead of service bars but still shows the 4G icon. Also it has all this stuff written on the screen that I've attached pictures of. Going into the settings says all 0's for the IMEI. I've tried factory resets and using ODIN to flash stock but no luck, I've thought of just restoring the IMEI but not to sure that would solve it

Yeah it looks like you need to restore the IMEI. Worth a shot

EFS is wiped and needs to be reprogrammed. Did this happen randomly? You can take it to Verizon and they can fix it as long as the device isn't blacklisted.

Yea pretty much they brought the phone to me one day like this. The person who owns it isn't tech savvy at all, doesn't even know anything about rooting

Doesn't Tweaked reset that? Could have swore I saw something like that when Odining Tweaked 3.
(~: Tweaked out on Peace :~)

Can you get the phone to download mode? If yes you can get the phone restored to original settings. Based on this picture your kernel might be messed up. It is just a guess.

Did you flash back to stock or have you always been stock unrooted? Try the basic stuff and clear caches, then try power off and remove battery...very unusual problem.

Did a little research and seems this is a bug on various Samsung products look at this and see if it helps http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35732 . One common fix people applied was to root the phone and than deleting all contents under/data/clipboard/*and then restart phone, copy/paste works. Another temporary fix reported was a factory reset.

MMS wont work- is this a known issue with flashing?

the only roms im switching between right now are GalaxyMod, and CleanRom
but cant get a photo to send to someone via messenger.
Did i skip a step? or does this sound normal that it doesnt work on these roms?
or maybe is there a known fix?
thanks

just tried my restore of GalaxyMod, no luck on 4G or Wifi
HOWEVER .. i was sending my wife a pic to test. I asked her to send me a pic, and i got it ... as soon as i got hers, mine went through to her. But then the next pic i sent didnt go through.
So its like her sending me a pic opens the MMS network or something lol
Any ideas at all? Im at a complete loss

Go back to stock see if it works then

Try MMS with other people other than your wife and then do the same from her phone,that will rule out if there's any network congestion in your area.

I just tried on both 4G and Wifi, but it wont go through. Just keeps spinning. Damnit!
Is there another way to reprovision without going back to stock and returning to VZW?

Very interesting ... when i go to send an MMS and it doesnt go through, it just keeps spinning
if i leave it spinning and then restart the phone, it sends
but then i try to send another one and it wont go, unless i restart phone again
What the friggggg

If someone sends mms to you does it download?

Weird stucks on 4.1.2

Ever since I uploaded from 4.0.3 ICS my phone has been getting "stuck"... The screen gets crazy if I touch it, the other buttons won't respond. The only way I seem to fix it for like 2 minutes is by locking it and unlocking it... When I bough it, it came with 4.0.3... Since then I moved from ROM to ROM...
4.0.3=>4.1.2
4.1.2=>4.2 Cyanogenmod
4.2=>4.1.2
4.1.2=>4.0.4
4.0.4=>4.3.1 BeanStalk
4.3.1 BeanStalk=>4.3 PAC
4.3 PAC=>4.3.1 BeanStalk
4.3.1 BeanStalk=>4.1.2
I left cyanogenmod because I didn't liked the look of my phone and because I wasn't able to play some of my favorite games.
I left BeanStalk because the camera.app kept crashing and forcing reboot.
I left PAC because the keyboard wouldn't show up and I wasn't able to finish the set up.
I left 4.0.4 because some apps were too new for it.
On 4.1.2 I get a lot of times stuck, but in other ROMs (even on Stock 4.0.4) the frequency of stucks were less...
I'm sorry for my awful english. I am from Argentina.
I'm really freaking out because each day my cellphone gets stuck even more!

Flash back to stock and if you still have problems it's probably a hardware problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26056924

I am on stock. I placed 4.1.2 without any name because I was trying to say "stock. Not a custom". But if it worked before perfect on 4.0.3. How is that possible? I mean my phone fell a couple of times but from by bed... I don't think it would harm it a lot since I have a carpet...

Oh sorry I didn't understood before. Maybe it's screwed but the thing is that in BeanStalk it didn't got stuck but I wasn't able to use the camera. Also it didn't got stuck in PAC but the keyboard wouldn't show up and display error messages all the time. I might go back to 4.0.4 since it works better than 4.1.2 (in my case).

Move all your files(pics,movies,music etc) to your computer. Format everything and try Odin again. Make it like the phone was new right out of the box never used. Troubleshoot from there.

I think it's cache/data from previous rom that was causing your full "stuck".
