Okay First I have to say Hi! haha anywho I just bought the Droid 2 Global and I am rather confused, I bought it from a guy and he had cricket on it, but it doesn't have any internet or at the very least it wont let me connect to the internet(He still hasn't canceled his service on the phone) it has a single 1x up top that seems to be pushing out but not receiving anything....I don't know if this is an issue of it not being fully flashed or perhaps he just didnt pay his bill an I wonder will it get fixed once I get it turned on in my name, for some reason I doubt it, so how do I find out if the phone is fully flashed or just half flashed and if it is only half can I change it to full myself? And also with this phone what type of ummm system I guess should it be running because when I took out the verizon simcard it said switching to CDMA soooo yeah kinda confused any help is appreciated and also if I go on a head an root this will it mess with anything need for me to fully flash it, if it's not fully flashed already?
The issues your having isn't a matter of needing to be flashed. The phone sounds like it's been deactivated. You need to activate it on your service now for you to be able to use it.

Well the thing is it's still activated in his name I can send text and call just not get on the net
Maybe he didn't have a data plan...

Bingo. You have no way of knowing what he did or didn't have, thus at this point you have no idea what really is or isn't working.
Why are you complaining about not being able to get on the internet on a phone activated in somebody else's name? You should have it properly activated in your name with the correct plan and make sure the balance is current then complain if it doesn't work then.

Hey troll, why waste your time posting? You are of ZERO help to anyone. I fkn hate annoying trolls like you.
First off, if you are still on cricket, cricket is CDMA only, so sim cards are a no-no.
Second, if there is only a 1x up top, the culprits could be POOR RECEPTION first, or if not, a bad PRL file, which you can update easily by hitting *228. It could be a damaged radio, it could be a ****ty ROM. I flash crickets all the time, err I mean droids to cricket, and usually people pay the least amount of money they can to flash their $300 to $600 phones, ill never get it.
If its a cricket rom with a green iris on boot, then you're in trouble. That's the worst rom PERIOD.
My adive to you, without being liek the TROLL above this post, is to get the phone in your name first, and then find someone who knows what they are doing first, unless you are really dedicated to fixing this yourself.
If you want to ride it solo, then start from a clean wipe, and reflash the PRL, flash a new ROM, reset your APNs, and get on the 55 plan. So you don't worry about autostart and running .sh scripts at startup.
Good luck.

I fail to see how he was "trolling" since he said the exact same thing that we were saying. Old phone that I have that are now deactivated still show 1x, but will not access any data. Hence, that is the most likely culprit.
1 sentence answer = no help

I don't know, I kind of agree with the others. How can you know what services are provisioned on the device if you haven't procured service for it. I work in IT and we deal with alot of phones and when we deactivate phones we experience the same thing.
been searching for 10+ hours and no luck or solution.
i was on gummycharged ep1f/ep1h rom and everything was working fine until today.
i don't know what triggered it, but my phone just restarted and then lost all signal.
after searching and looking at phone info, i found first line under baseband version shows "unknown".
tried flashing to every possible roms out there using odin and it would not bring the phone back to life.
funny thing is i have no problem w/ 4glte service, which allows me to surf and download but no voice service.....
do i have no choice but to go to verizon for replacement phone?
thank you.

yeah I'd take it into them, sounds like some hardware got fried.. however I'd probably try to flash a froyo rom for whatever good it'd do, if they somehow can check baseband and it shows GB your warranty is void and they will not fix or replace it
blazing through on my VZ Droid Charge 4G
found this over in the Galaxy s 9000 forum (wc8 posted it)
Mine now works fine
so what was the cause - still no idea
so what did help - rebooting the phone couple of times without the sim inside
heads up !
worth a try and not my fault if something blows up...
Begin minor rant:
Isnt it sad that we (everyone including devs and XDA as well as casual helpers like me) have to put that final line in there so they dont get blamed/flamed if things get f'd up?

Had the same problem with my Fascinate. After a flash I lost all 3G and phone capabilities. What I did was reset my phone line with the esn of an old phone I had lying around. Go to this thread. It will show you what you need to do.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051543. I took mine to Verizon, and also spent hours with tech support and, to no avail. This esn swap did the trick. Good luck.
did the stuff you were flashing include the radios? like this one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172182
or this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111486
yes, all the roms i flashed had full radio from ED1, ED2, EE4, EP1F
none worked....
i'll try to search and see if esn method works that someone mentioned above.
keeping my fingers crossed....
currently, phone is @ stock ee4 unrooted w/ no baseband for cdma radio.
if anyone else is having same problem, do not run esn swap!!!
it will cancel your unlimited data and there is no way to bring it back.
thank god i read it before i tried it....
phone still no go with unknown baseband.....
HELP?!?!? PLEASE?

i called Verizon and had them do it over the phone. In other words, they moved my line to a dummy ESN on their end and some random number to my phone and then switched it right back, all while my phone was off, so when my phone was turned back on it got re provisioned on their network, which fixed my 3G data issues......but i dont think this is the OP's solution. When i had that problem I had phone service, just intermittent or no 3g data is all

You won't lose your unlimited data unless you switch to an ESN that is not a smartphone. I have switched my line a couple times and still have unlimited.

well if you are stock ee4 unrooted I think you are golden. Take your phone to verizon and have them deal with it.

I am not sure abotu this (not saying it is wrong but I never tried) I say take the 20 minutes on the phone with VZW and let them do it...
UPDATE
took it to verizon store twice, got sim cards replaced twice at two different locations.
still no go, rep recommended me to contact replacement center.
talk to tech for and hour trying to figure it out,
the tech announced that my cdma radio is fried.....
so i asked when i'll get the replacement and he said sometime on tuesday.
and i asked if i could use my really old LG non-smart phone for time being and he said i'll loose my unlimited data and moved to 2gb tiered data plan...
so i guess i'll be out of service until tuesday....

Hey I believe ya, I am just in the better safe than sorry frame of mind when it comes to the unlimited data structure. It does make sense though since i did switch from the fascinate to the charge without losing it
they told me this will only work if you went from smart phone to another smart phone.
however, if you went to non smart phone and then smart phone, you'd lose your unlimited plan.
I'm surprised this couldn't be fixed with a software flash. I came from a Samsung Epic and this was a regular occurrence on at least one of the Gingerbread leaks. Happened to me at least once - used ODIN and reflashed the whole shebang (full TAR with modem) and got it back up and running.
i wish there was an easy fix like you said.
then i don't have to wait for them to send me replacement device and also saves me from hassle of reapplying invisible shield. the maximum protection kit is pain in the ass to apply.
i've flashed with every single rom+radio out there in many different order with both odin 1.3/1.7/1.8 and samsung pstlite.
i've also tried flashing radio only and still no luck.
I just bought a phone the guy who made no mention of the fact that it was rooted when I bought it. What is worse is he mentioned that his GF worked for Verizon, which did not seem to mean much at the time. Knowing that here is what i'm dealing with.
I was in a rush when I checked out the phone as I had to meet another person to pick one up for my wife as well. It's the sch-i575 in white 16gb. After having a minute to look at the phone it turns out he had Paranoid Android flashed and the phone was rooted. CRAP! Not what I was looking for and he was not upfront about it. The incredibly strange thing was that with NO SIMCARD the phone was getting 3g signal! I spent all night trying to unroot \ undo what he did. I managed to use ODIN to get back to the stock rom although I think it's still a rooted one since I still have the super user app. I got a sim card from verizon but since it was rooted I did not bring the phone in and when I tried to activate later it would not activate. My wife's by the way is working flawless and when I put my sim in her phone it works fine as well. I had to put the sim in my wife's phone and it activated there. Here is the crazy thing, with or with out a simcard the phone makes calls and has 3g internet only but when I make a call it uses HIS NUMBER!! I'm not sure what the hell to do, what could have he done? Any ideas? Please all help is appreciated! I did not think this was even possible for the phone to function w/o a sim. I'm worried about taking it in to Verizon because of the funkiness. Ty again for any insight...

I thought the I575 was an old slide phone. So A. your in the wrong section of the forum since this is Verizon's S3 or B. you mentioned the wrong device number? I saw phones before working and running on networks without sim-cards but that was years ago. If it is an S3, you sure it's a Verizon device? Also since you see 3g....can you browse around in the browser or make a phone call?

Yes, it's a galaxy s3 16gb in white. It looks like currently I was using the tar66 using ODIN. I'm reverting back to the bone stock one now. As far as the models go isn't the SCH-I575 the Verizon version of the S3?
I'm waiting on the stock unrooted rom to take through ODIN and will report back. Thank you for taking the time to try and help.
Ohh, yes the internet works and when I make phone calls with or with out my sim in it makes calls successfully but the other guys number shows up. What the heck did this guy do to the phone!
Our model is the SCH-i535

You are obviously absolutley correct. I'm frantically trying to figure this out. I have flashed the stock rom and don't have super user anymore. The problem persists with the guys number.
Could he have flashed a custom kernel and modem or does reverting back using the stock rom cover all that ?

I just double checked and I had the I535VRLAG1 version, yours is the I535VRALF2 in the link you posted trying this now. The crazy thing is that it even says that the sim is activated with MY number! but the calls are still comming from him. I even tried wiping the device and clearing the cache. I also tried to JUST flash the modem with VRLG1.modem.tar.md5 and nothing :\. Waiting on the file from your link to download and will try that.
Is it possible that this is being caused by something on Verizon's end? The phone ( with out the SIM ) is registered to him somehow? I know this is not normal but because his GF worked for Verizon could they have done something funky?
Yeah its definitely possible its from something she did to the phone but most likely nothing from Verizon's end. Does the IMEI number under status match the IMEI number under the battery?

Yes IMEI is the same in the OS as behind the battery.
The curious thing is that on the same screen in the OS where you find the IMEI there is also a field called Network and it says " Unknown"
It also has things like:
Eri v : 5
Mobile network type : EvDo-rev.a:8
The thing I keep coming back to is how is it possible for this phone to make calls\ have data with out a sim?
Starting to really think I got cheated
Cheated? Sounds like you have free Verizon service.
Roll with it. If you really want a bill you can have mine...

Just did and the same thing happened. I went to the Verizon store and the guy there had no idea and got me in touch with tech support from the store. They were dumbfounded and flat out said that what is happening is impossible. "It's impossible to make\receive phone calls with out a sim unless they are emergency" I harped on the fact that I am making phone calls as one of their other customers and that this is a big deal. In the end since I had the insurance and extended warranty they will ship me a new phone.

Hello guys,
After loosing my HTC ONE X on the street a week ago, I bought from some guy an almost brand new GALAXY S3 without knowing it is a VERIZON version.
I live in Israel so i had no idea what is the meaning of buying a device that will work only on Verizon network, we only have GSM here.
The guy i bought it from also had no idea what it means as his father bought it on the US and brought it here wishing to sell it as he had no use in it.
Without realizing the mistake I've made, I then made another one, Taking out the VERIZON SIM CARD and giving it back to the owner!
I thought to myself... well... that's his SIM CARD, not gonna be using that one...
Well, i got home to find out i'm in trouble with this deal I've made, i searched for a way to unlock it for GSM networks and i saw that here in XDA someone made it possible.
As i started working on it i had to download from Google play an application, when i was asked to pay for it i saw it's running on the old owners google account, so i decided i don't wanna pay with my credit while he might get the receipt for it and i figured i should do a Factory Data Reset for the phone and start from point zero the whole process.
Sadly i had no idea i'm doing another big mistake because when the phone finished the reset it asked for a VERIZON SIM CARD in order to run, well you know where that SIM Card is - back at the previous owner and i'm not even sure i will be able to track him down again.
I wish to get this device working without any traces of Verizon, maybe beside the name on the back panel of the device.
Now that the device won't even run without the SIM, what should i do ?
Thanks in advance,
Ohad.

Thanks but i was able to track down the previous owner and get the verizon sim card.
I found away to use it on GSM but still im very disappointed because im not sure there´s a real way to remove any trace for the verizon stuff installed here and there are few errors like it is connected to the provider but it says no verizon sim card connected.
and im not so sure all the device's frequencies are "open" for my provider.
I was wondering if there's any option to burn an international galaxy version to the device and it will bypass all of these issues.

Why don't you just flash CM10 or similar to get rid of all the VZW stuff.... that's what I did.

Not sure how to do so, but either way i'm not sure i will get the device working completely normally with my local SIM card on a gsm network, without bugs, without asking me to put a verizon sim card all the time, without having any option to update the device...
I dunno, i thought i could easily get this Galaxy version to become unlocked completely and get it running like all the other guys around...
Unless anybody here have a good recommendation about what should i do to overcome the verizon and networks issues, maybe i should just sell this guy on ebay and get a normal version...
Do you think this would be a smart move to do ?
Beemer - after you flash the CM10, do you still need to unlock the device and do you still get issues running on other than Verizon providers or do you enjoy a device that is similar to the worldwide versions ?
Thanks,
Ohad.
If you flash an international ROM on a Verizon S3, your phone will no longer power on or do anything useful. That's why it will become a paperweight. Flashing an international ROM on your Verizon S3 is one of the easiest ways to make it useless.
International=quad-core us=s4 processor, very different guts.I'd listen to the ppl on this forum, unless you want to end up with a paper weight.

but what about the other issues ? what do you guys recommend to do with the device ?

Know it works on Touchwiz roms. It may not be in AOSP based roms.
Well, i flashed CM10 successfully, i was able to receive and send SMS before with the Stock ROM, and also to make/receive phone calls but i had sim card issues and errors and also some unwanted Verizon apps and stuff.
After updating the device to the latest Verizon version, i couldn't make phone calls, just receive and i could send and receive SMS.
Now that device runs much faster on the CM10 and i can make/receive phone calls but i can't send SMS.
*UPDATE: I have updated to the latest CM10 version, now i can't connect to the provider at all... no internet/phone/sms at all.
SOS
Ok, Im going to try a different tactic, i saw some people tried flashing At&t Roms on their verizon devices and they done it with success.
So far i tried doing it twice, one time with CM10 ROM for at&t, the 2nd time with stock at&t ROM.
I've tried doing it through CWM.
Both times i got an error while installing... it just didn't move on.
Luckly i had the CM10 for the verizon Zip file over there aswell so i installed that ROM again just to get the device running.
Any ideas how to flash the AT&T ROM on the Verizon Device ???
So I just derped pretty hard and hard bricked my Galaxy S3, which means I'm probably gonna have to send it to some jtag service to fix it. However, I don't want to be without a phone in the meantime. Is there any way I could use my old droid incredible in the meantime? Such as some way of reactivating it or temporarily switching service to it while my gs3 is repaired? I'm on Verizon. Thanks.
Your best bet would probably be call verizon and ask about that. You shouldn't have a problem, you should be able to walk in the verizon store, explain the situation, they'll do the ESN swap and out you go.
Had a broken blackberry storm and they switched up the ESN without many questions. This was about 2 years ago.

Bricked his GS3, needs a temporary phone while its being fixed. Wants to use his Droid Incredible. Wants to know if he'll be able to use it for the time being.
Hope that helps.
P.S. Verizon phones are CDMA so in a sense, yes they are network locked.

I would assume so. I got the phone from Verizon as an upgrade from my old dinc. Basically what I want to do is use my dinc in place of my gs3 while it gets repaired. I did a bit of digging around and it seems that I can just change the phone associated with my number online. However it seems that some people have issues with switching between 4g and 3g phones, which is what I would be doing. Does anyone know any more about this?

Just like m24red said, tell Verizon the situatuation and they should get you squared away.
Sent from a Galaxy device

Yeah, I already managed to get my device switched online. Currently rocking the ol' dinc, hopefully I can get the gs3 repaired soon. Thanks for the help, everyone.
