Hey so i'm really new to rooting phones. i bought this phone rooted from a guy and it updated it to 4.2.1 so it's way nice. he deactivated his service with Virgin Mobile and i was to activate mine. i dialed *228 and got a message that my account could not be validated; i recently paid my bill so i knew that wasn't an issue. i went to a dealer and he said that he has to manually change my phones MSID or something like that but doesn't know how to do it on a rooted phone becuz it's different than stock. i'm rooted on cyanogenmod 10.
Please Help!!

I feel your pain. I was overeager, and S-Off/Rooted my phone right out of the box...which the procedure had me flash the Harmonia ROM....now I wish I hadn't, because whenever I flash the stock ROM, I get boot loop. Can anyone tell me what I have to do to get my phone activated...maybe not exactly the stock ROM, but perhaps a modified ROM that works for VM's activation?

Hi Guru's,
Ya week I was in India, I tried to configure my phone as GSM by following below instructions given in below link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809314 , but for some reason its not working so I restored it back. Today I came to US and am trying to make a call using verizon sim unfortunately its not activating instead asking me to enter the credit card details to make a call and I see triangle on signal.
So I reached out customer service, all they saying is phone is in activate state and should work!!! I am not sure what to do, I rooted and unlocked and running CleanRom 2.1
Any help is appreciated.
My friend had a issue like that and he unrooted and went into a store and they replaced his sim and everything was fine. Have hou tried flashing back to stock?

Hi guys, 2 days ago I got this phone off-contract, and I can't update it. At start I filled it up with a bunch of software to check it out, and today I did a soft reset, as I read that it can't help if you can't get an android update and I wanted to get rid of all the stuff I installed.
Thing is, when I go to "check for updates", it says my device isn't registered. I tried 2 soft resets so far and no luck.
Any thoughts on "how to register"?
Thanks!
Register the IMEI by calling ATT (611). You should be able to do the same with its MVNOs too. You can only retrieve the OTA by using one of the two.
Also you can bypass the 24hr nonsense by calling customer service, then asking them to push it from their tech department.

Errr... I got it from a Cellphone shop here in Serbia, I'm not sure where they acquired it, or from which operator it is. How do I find out who I need to call/email or whatever?

My bad, I assumed you had the H950 (att logo on back). If you're using an international variant, which I believe is H959 the method is probably different.
Yeah, sorry I'm still not familiar with model number but it's an international version.
Any idea is welcome
EDIT: Seems it's a H955.

When you removed stuff did you use root at some point? Also are you updating over a wireless carrier or WiFi?

Nope, I never rooted the phone, never used low-level access on it. Just tried apps via Google play that don't require root. Even than the phone didn't want to update, and it still doesn't want to do it. I also installed LG PC Suite and tried to update the software via it, but it doesn't work either.

Ace,
I have H950 on T-Mobile network, unlocked, rooted, 5.0.1
How can I update it to 5.1.1?
Thanks

Okay, you'll need help from another member with that model. Anything I say will be based off of my time with the H950, sorry mate.

1. Unroot
2. You can use H950PR ROM or go official ATT route
3. There's a thread on PR / if you want ATT's 2 5.1.1 OTAs you'll need a gophone SIM ($2/day), ATT MVNO, or a friend's SIM
4. You can wait patiently for weeks or call 611 while using their network
5. Ask the rep to be transferred to tech support, then tell them you need an update pushed
6. They'll push it if they're knowledgeable, you'll get 11x
7. Repeat following day for 11z

Sure, no problem. If we don't get an answer and I still won't be able to get that update automaticly, is there a way to flash it with a newer version downloaded from xda?
You can flash the 5.1.1 kdz file.
Just to tell the end of the story, I returned my phone since it couldn't be updated to 5.1.1, I got a H-955A which didn't have any issues with that.
Hi, I am going to explain something, but I know it would not make sense to you guys.
My friend who has a Samsung Galaxy S2 SM-T989D, got that phone from a friend, and I pluged the phone to my computer. The phone was with a cellphone carrier called Telus (In Canada), and the phone got bricked because I was trying to load a JellyBean rom on it because my mom used to have that same S2 (got it from the store, not from my friend shane friend) and my moms old S2 (same model number and everything) had Jelly Bean on it. 4.4. something. Anyways. Shanes phone got bricked and I found another software to flash on his phone and I used ODIN, and not his phone looks like its with T-Mobile (a US carrier). My question is, that, Since his phone was carrier locked with Telus before I flashed a rom and bricked it, does that mean since his phone looks like its from T-Mobile locked with T-Mobile? Does flashing a rom change the carrier of the SIM???

i have never seen a rom change the sim itself.
if you manage to flash another carriers rom, as it seems you have, and it doesnt brick your device (fairly common), the phone is going to report the new carrier because its coded into the rom.
Hey guys.. I got a 930P that I recently picked up. It's unlocked andI put the newest U firmware on it from sammobile.. I put my T-mobile SIM card in there and nothing.. No signal.. Has a good IMEI, sees my-mobile number but doesn't associate with the network at all. Calling t-mobile was no help, they told me device is bad.. I also tried flashing latest 930T firmware also - same deal.. It sees T-Mobile APN settings but won't connect, period.. Anyone have suggestions before I return this device? THanks

Do you get WiFi at all?
i did, yeah. wound up returning the phone because whoever sold it did something fishy with it, although it didn't show up on any blacklists
I have a Sprint Unlocked LG V50. Can I flash stock ROM on it with no network lock to make it work with any network?
Especially Metro/ TMobile
If so.. where can I get this ROM and how do I make sure I have the right one?
I want to know the same thing. So dumb that its sold as an unlocked phone but still wont work with other carriers.
My V50 sprint unlocked was working with mint mobile after editing the APN but ever since I updated to Android 10 it no longer allows me to ad an APN, Delete one, or edit.
I thought this thread was going to be really helpful but after trying everything my APN settings are still grayed out. Sprint, LG, TMobile, and Mint mobile (my provider) all dont have any idea what to do about it.
I have already tied "##3282#" and got my correct "Service Code" from the Ebay seller to attempt the what l1lpiggy says to do in that thread, but that didn't change anything, APN settings are still greyed out.
Iam also using LG V500N SK Telecom korean version and i was able unlook bootloader but was not able to install stock firmware.. Let me see wheather i can try custome Rom..
Is there any option to update to stock by stock in zip format after unlocking bootloader like how we install custom roms..

What was the error message you received?
Where's the "mod" on this forum. This doesn't belong here.

This phone is dead. I'm welcome to any and all posts here just to know that there are people who still use this phone.
I went back to the V30 just because of how abysmal the development is here.
