Droid Charge Stuck In Some Kind Of Test Mode - Verizon Droid Charge

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.

Just to give an update I tried tweaked rom and odin to stock but neither worked. What did work was odin to stock BUT I checked Phone EFS Clear and all is well now. Thanks for all the help guys

[Q] Odd sounds while in a call.

While the phone is dialing out or while in a conversation, it makes sounds like someone is breathing. I know it sounds weird but sometimes it sounds like a toilet flushing. I dont know if someone hacked my phone or if its a hardware/software thing. Just curious if anyone else has had this happen to them. Also im running octane 3.0 and this did not occur when i was on stock unrooted. Thanks in advance!

I had that problem with my last Galaxy s 4G and my new one. I don't recall having the problem when I was on Froyo. I had the problem just this morning when placing a call. It lasts for a second or so then goes away. I've no idea why it happens, though.
Anybody know how to fix it?

Pretty much any of them. People generally use a different modem to get better data speeds in their respective location.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
It could be your sim card. If the sim card has connectivity issues, this sound is known to happen. Switch out your Sim with someone else and use the phone. if the sound happens on the phone with someone else's Sim, then it is your sd card. remove the sd card and format it on your computer. Then, with the sd card still removed, do a factory reset and make a few calls with your actual sim in the phone; without adding your google account. See if it persists. place the sd card back in the phone and add your account, buy don't add apps until you've tested it out. After a day (my recommendation), add one app at a time. make some test calls because you could dl an app with a virus, which can be causing connectivity issues.
Good idea with swapping the modem. I haven't tried that one. Thanks for the suggestion.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Interesting ideas about the SIM & SD card. I'd be curious to know if/why either of those would cause that weirdness.
I'm going to try the KI3 modem a bit later. I'll report back after some testing.

Indeed they can. I flashed KI3 via CWM earlier. Check out FBis251's [Odin/CWM] Modems (10/29/2011 added KJ6 modem) page. There's a link to his CWM-flashable modems.
Stephen, yes, i confirmed with one of my friends in google. Weird, isn't it?! I tried formatting without my sd card in and the problem stopped. Idk, lol.

Sounds like the radios got messed up because of a possible bad flash. Try re-downloading Tweakstock v1.4.zip and reflash in CWM. If that doesn't work, ODIN back to stock and then install Tweakstock. That's my best guess.

Your radio probably screwup. You need to Odin the factory stock image and the PIT file. Download PIT file and factory image from here, then ODIN to your phone.

Another thing I can think of is make sure 4G is working in your area. If that doesn't resolve the issue then give Verizon tech support a call and they can reset your phone ID on their side. (This is same as when you bought your phone and tried to register and it's not working, but they can reset and it should work after that) unless you have hardware issue.
ace5198 said:

If you still can't get it to work Odin back to original stock and take it in to the Verizon store and play dumb. It may be a little dishonest but it's worth not having a phone with no ability to call, text, or use data.

Haha, try flashing the actual radio itself-if you look somewhere they have it as a separate file, in the same thread with the stock stuff. My radio has also mysteriously gone kaput before and that's always what fixes it.

Can rom installation fix network problems on stock ics?

First post
Anyways, Ever since I've upgraded to ICS, I've been having serious cell-related network connection problems on my tmobile iemi-unlocked atrix 2, mb865(NOT Wi-Fi connectivity problems.) My signal is constantly going from 5-1 bars (several times a minute) in places where I previously experienced a solid 5 bars with gingerbread and my (also unlocked, on tmobile) iPhone 2g. Also, my carrier logo is disappearing and reappearing many times a minute as well. (Even when I have 5 bars.) Sometimes , I just get a red triangle with a white cross inside of it where the bars should be.
Sometimes, these problems are temporarily fixed when I enter airplane mode for a few seconds, then exit it. But within 15 minutes of exiting, I begin experiencing the same problems. Other times, they aren't fixed through entering/exiting airplane mode , and I have to reboot the device.
My question is, will installing a rom perhaps fix these problems? Since my network was fine on gingerbread, it's obviously not a hardware problem. I'm rooted, of course (but before rooting I experienced these problems as well.)
I obtained the iemi through at&t and not a shady third party unlocking business, if that makes any difference.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Well it can't hurt to try a new rom.... wait it can haha but yes sometime even a factory restore can fix a lot of random issues. My buddy was running stock gingerbread on his phone and it had a messed up usb port. I then put CM7 on it and it worked magically so it is a possibility. I am currently running numa and it fixed my wifi issue where it would randomly turn off. But I think a good old factory restore could maybe fix it,
Try changing network selection from automatic to either 2g or 3g..it worked for me on my searet ota..

Well it can't hurt to try a new rom.... wait it can haha but yes sometime even a factory restore can fix a lot of random issues. My buddy was running stock gingerbread on his phone and it had a messed up usb port. I then put CM7 on it and it worked magically so it is a possibility. I am currently running numa and it fixed my wifi issue where it would randomly turn off. But I think a good old factory restore could maybe fix it,

Alright! I guess I'll try the restore first. Do you think it'll wipe my unlock? And I have titanium backup, so after I restore I can just restore things from it?

I tried, and selected T-Mobile. It then said 'registering for tmobile'. I backed out though because i got scared i was screwing something up. Am I supposed to see this?

When you change your network it is normal to get a message like this..you can go ahead..

I believe your unlock will be there still. I could be wrong though. And if you have a sdcard it will be unaffected by the factory restore and new ROMs. But its a good idea to back it up every blue moon. And yes you can get your apps and app data back with titanium backup. Make sure it stores to sdcard and the same with ROMs.

Yes, but, if you unroot, they're not going to know.

I guess. Does the warranty last for a year?
Also, I backed up to titanium, did a factory reset, and restored from titanium. I still have the same problem. Could I possibly freeze some apps (using Gemini app manager) that involve the sim card? Would that avail to anything?

Yes. At least in my country the warranty is for one year. But, if you bought it the phone with the two year contract i think, the warranty should last two years.
And the other thing, i have no idea man. Sorry. I never experienced that, and i don't know what happen there. But, my advice is that you must go to the warranty and try.

I see :0 since I'm not even a customer of at&t, would I still be able to reap the benefits of warranty? And I don't have the receipt or anything (as I said, I got the phone from a trade with a friend.)

Can I install ics leak #1 over my stock ics? And then go back to stock gingerbread, where I didn't have any problems? I've searched and found that a straight downgrade from stock ics to stock gb will brick you, but leak #1 to stock gb is fine :0

No! You will brick your phone. OTA ICS bootloader is not the same as leak #1. Try another FDR but do NOT restore from TB.

Thanks! Should I try to flash a rom and see what happens, before doing another reset? If so, what's the best rom in terms of performance and least bugs? (I don't really care about it looking cool, etc.)

SCv7 is really good and fast.

So just to be sure of the process:
1)download link under the 9/26 update to root of SD card
2)enter boot menu
3) install it from there? :0
Sorry I'm kinda confused by this rom stuff (I read the noob guide, but still.)
