I have an unlocked and rooted XT926 and have been successfully installing roms on this regularly until the 4.3 roms have come out. Each time I install a rom that is based on android 4.3, they install and work but cannot detect the SIM card. It is like the device doesn't see the card at all.The selector is always stuck at NV and switching to RUIM/SIM does not stay set.
I can install 4.1 or 4.2 based roms just fine, either from a backup or by doing a clean install and have the sim card detected and data connectivity, just not any 4.3 based ones. Can anyone suggest a cure?
Resolved
I was able to resolve this. I had originally rooted back in December from stock with motochopper. That was apparently my problem because after I re-rooted using the Razr HD Utility version 1.21 all is fine in the world now. Let the flashing begin......

So my XT926 is running the latest PacMan ROM but I am restricted to 2g data. When I unchecked the 2g only box, the phone doesn't even register. I am using the Pacman GSM rom. I am using Net10. UMTS works with the stock rom but i thing i still need to do some digging to get it to work with the AOSP rom
Does anyone know if the gsm network for the xt926 works with later builds of cm 10.2 or cm10.2 based roms?

I was just in Spain and tried to use a Vodafone SIM card in my Verizon xt926 (CM 10.2 ROM). The phone was set on Global and it detected the SIM card, but could not find any network. Updating the APN list did not work either. Sucks, thought the xt926 had international radios.

It does. The problem is with the ROM. Stock ROM works great internationally.

I have brought an unlocked version skyrocket from at&t. Since I stay in India, we don't have a 4G and it's shame to say not even full 3G coverage here as of yet.
My question is when I move into 3G coverage area I see 4G instead of 3G and I feel battery drains quite fast during data usage under 3G (or 4G for phone). So I heard in Roger version of skyrocket and some custom roms allow switching off 4G completely ( 4G/LTE/HSPA+). So does cyanogenmod 9 allow such feature to disable 4G connectivity which is not there on at&t rom? Anybody who has already flashed CM9 on at&t skyrocket can reply so I can root this device and go for CM9 or other stable that allows such feature.
Thanks.

Into the topic,.. yes u can switch 2g/3g... you don't need to root ur phone... u can flash a recovèry using Odin.. then flash the custom rom... u get root if the rom is pre rooted... if not u can flash su... I'm using sky ics now but I'm unable to switch network mode.. people say it might b radio prob..
Pls post back if u succeed with cm9..

Yes, CM9 allows it. I'm on TeamChopsticks' CM9 and the option to switch is available in the Wireless and Networks setting.
However, do understand that you need a RAT unlocked radio. That's actually what allows you to switch to 2G on the skyrocket -- having a RAT unlocked radio. You can find a list of radios in this thread.
Hi!
That's what I was about to say: if I understood correctly what I read, having a ROM that allows you to choose between network modes (LTE/HSPA/GSM) is not sufficient. Your radio should also be unlocked -- like Rogers' radio. Changing the settings in your ROM when you use a locked radio -- like AT&T's radio -- would have no effect.
I've tried using this feature in CM9 and it doesn't seem to work. It was noted on their list of problems but I don't know if it was ever resolved. I have an unlocked RAT and I still can't get it to work right. Somewhat annoying because during the day I'd like to have it to save battery, but basically I gave up on trying to get it to work.

Sorry that doesn't seem to work. That may only work in Touchwiz based OSes, but in CM9 it's not doing anything.

I know it works on my ROM (EMBRYO) always had this feature since I travel to India it works perfect. You need to be SIM unlocked and a RAT unlocked RADIO (like any Rogers RADIO NOT ATT)..

You mean I need to unlock my phone in order to get this to work? I didn't have to fully unlock my Nexus 1 to do it. Is it different with the Skyrocket?
No you have to use a rogers radio rat unlocked isn't the same as unlocking the phone

Huh? I guess I must have worded it differently. You need to be SIM Unlocked AND have a RAT Unlocked radio, to change the preferred network mode (at least on I727)...sigh..

odin to rogers stock flash rogers stock ics modem first. Then root and install cm9.
If that doesn;t work try the same process just use rogers gb
the att modem does strange things with network selection. It works for me when I dont use automatic network selection

I tried doing the ODIN with the Rogers ROM and it kept failing. I had to then install a custom recovery and then flash CM9.1 and it still didn't work. Before trying this I tried another ROM (Embryo) to see if that could toggle and it couldn't either. :crying:
Just flashed dhackers CM10.1 6/29 build. I have a xt926 Verizon phone, but I live in australia and use a telstra sim card. Normally I just change apn settings for data and everything is all good. With this ROM there is no way to change APN settings in the settings menu. Even brought APN up in voice dialer, changed settings like normal and still cannot get data. Is there a fix for this?
Use the xt925 version. You flashed the cdma version which doesn't use sim cards.

This is incorrect. The XT926 is an LTE device and most certainly has a SIM card. The fact that you cannot edit the APNs is a bug.
All I know is every time I try an xt926 rom I can't edit apn's without multiple extra steps and when I flash an xt925 rom it works right away.

I'm confused here. So if you need to be able to edit APNs manually (e.g., for international travel), you have to flash the VZW XT926 with the firmware for the Global XT925? Doesn't that render the phone's radios useless while in the US? Obviously this isn't a problem for the OP since he is in Australia and doesn't care about the VZW radio bands. But for the rest of us who travel....?
-- Dan
Well if someone is on Verizon they wouldn't need to flash anything other then xt926 because the network is already setup for Verizon. As opposed to any other network the xt925 is a better option.

I am also interested in this. Although, I live in AUS now, it is just temporary and I do have a verizon account that I suspend while I am oversees. So when I come back to USA and switch to my verizon SIM card will I receive signal or will I have to flash to xt926 ROM? I would assume I would still get signal since the network mode selected is LTE/GSM/CDMA so it should pick up the CDMA signal. But i could be wrong because I had this selected on the xt926 version and didnt get data in australia. (But I had network and was able to make calls so it was just an APN issue.)
Also, if the Verizon SIM does work with the xt925 build, what are the advantages of using the xt926 build over the xt925 in the first place?
The xt926 build is for the strictly Verizon phone while xt925 covers everything else and possibly Verizon. I don't know because I'm on att.

OK. Thanks.
I was just curious because if Verizon does work on xt925, I don't see why anyone would want to use the xt926 version and lose access to global functions and APN settings. (never know when you might need them.) Unless of course xt926 is providing some sort of extra Verizon support or functions. Would be interesting to find out.
The xt926 has some stock Verizon apps built in.

Has anyone been able to get the Droid razr HD or razr maxx hd on Pageplus on kitkat with working 3g & mms?
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using XDA Free mobile app
Not that I have heard of. There is a thread on Howard forums about this very issue. After root and bootloader unlock was available, I upgraded to 4.4.2. I could not get 4.4.2 to work with the old methods. Tried writing a 4.0.4 modem into 4.4.2 and it would not work at all with the KK update. I have heard that you can flash a CM 4.4 rom after you have everything working on 4.1.2 and will still have PagePlus. I have not tried this approach yet. Others more knowledgeable than I, have not yet gotten PagePlus service with the stock 4.4.2 yet.
Jackie
I've been trying everything I can think of but no luck yet. The best I was able to do is take advantage of the bootloader unlock. Downgrade to 4.1.2 stock. Flash the ics radio driver. Get page Plus working. Install twrp then flash cm11. there are several 4.4 roms made for the 3.0 jb kernel. But now even cm builds are starting to build on the new kernel+bootloader and do not work with the ics radio.
Tapatalk'n it from my XT907 (MoKee 4.4.4) on Page Plus Cellular.
And I was loving the new setup to kitkat.

There was a post over on Howard Forums by Milo1946 about the Mokee 4.4.4 rom having the ability to set NV only mode from the rom itself. It is under Mobile Network settings. I don't know anything about this rom. Has anyone tried this and if so did it work to get onto PagePlus?
Tried it, no good
Edit: to elaborate on this. The setting is on all the new cm11 builds but it seems to have the same problem as editing the setting via dfs. It'll always revert to ruim on reboot unless running the ics radio.
Thanks thewraith, I guess we are stuck on 4.1.2. I have heard that Verizon is going to allow LTE on their prepaid. There is some talk of that filtering down to PagePlus. If and when that occurs then will go back to KK.

Yeah that would be nice but I'm not holding my breath waiting for them. The jb bootloader cm11 builds work very good, the only issue I experience is the screen dimmer bug.. It'll sometimes get stuck a bit dimmer then I'd like but it's not that bad. If I ever get the time I've been considering pulling in the source myself to tinker around

The only reason I am looking for it is that I need to update to kitkat and get the 4.4 boot loader so I can get the latest version of CyanogenMod. any other way to do it would work to but It needs to be for the XT925 Not the XT926.

You're flashing the wrong one. There is a jbbl version for your device for CM12. Even though i'm on an AHD, i'm running your device's CM12 (925's CM came out first and i've been running it since its release)
