Help, I'm a n00b at customs ROMs
I had cm-10.1.3-RC2 ROM on my Razr HD but I went back to stock for a reason: No service.
I couldn't get any service on my phone while using that ROM. No signal at all, SIM card was on the device and data was checked.
I googled but the answers I got were from other devices and ROMs so I can't be really sure.
SO anyway, I want to know if there's any way to fix it. Or if there's another ROM that doesn't have this problem.( I tried LiquidSmooth and It didn't get past the boot animation)
My internet connection is slow plus all the work of switching ROMs is exhausthing for me so I haven't tried to download any other ROMs fearing that it will happen like it did with LiquidSmooth.
Did you use the xt925 version or xt926?

I was using the XT925 version
But nevermind, I ended up downloading the PAC-Man ROM which gave me the same problem but at least I could make calls and texts. But to fix the data issue I downloaded an APN app from the play store which gave me the APN setting for internet connection(My old APN settings didn't work,weird) and It worked.
I am now enjoying my PAC-Man ROM with data service. As for the LiquidSmooth ROM, I think It was stuck on the boot animation because I forgot to wipe the data.
BTW the app is called "Offline SIM APN Database"

I previously had CM10 (experimental) and was having issues with crashes so I decided to flash a new ROM on my device.
I then chose to flash onto LiquidSmooth 4.2.1. After playing around in Liquid, I found some bugs and decided to look for a new ROM to flash.
I chose to flash to CM10.1 Nightly, which I know has data issues. I wiped pretty much everything prior -Dalvik, formatted my SD, formatted system, and whatnot. After my first boot, the phone could not finish "activating the network"
Right now I cannot send/receive calls or texts or have data. I have a small "R" at the top of my signal bars where 4G usually is. I have tried dialing *#*#4636#8#* and made sure LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) was selected.
Would flashing to stock ROM resolve this issue? Or what could be causing this?
Thanks in advance

I flashed back to touchwiz. I have 4G capabilities, but still no phone service. Should I still try flashing an unofficial CM10 and setting CMDA sub to ruim/sim?

I just flashed the latest slim bean to my Vzw RAZR HD and was wondering if it was worth switching to the Xenon? What do you all think?
I miss my voice text, is their a way to get that back??
Slim Bean is a great ROM and I don't mean any disrespect. If I could figure out how to get voice text/keyboard back I will do it.
Thanks for any ideas.

I really enjoyed slim bean but after trying xenon latest I plan on using for some time. Some people including myself are having a random blue flashing screen but they are on top of it. Having my camcorder on 4.2.2 and the new halo feature is sweet!

Hey what is the best way to flash from 4.2.2 to another rom? Im not able to get Safestrap to work on 4.2.2 for some reason.
Thanks for any help man!
I use TWRP from mattlgroff utility 1.20. I think he has 1.21 out now.... Is a must have!

I like it too. Somewhat... Im on the XT926 though. But I am having a few issues. My network shows up as 3G when I know im in a 4G network area. Also my screen brightness is non adjustable, and I cant seem to flash anything else.
Do you know what is the best way to flash from a custom rom to another? Clockwork seems to not support the HD.

Most developers tell you what to use in their descriptions which is usually TWRP.

Clockwork usually works flawlessly. Did you install it correctly?

My wife's got an XT925 non-rooted.
Helium was my go-to app for backups for non-root users, but since Motorola phones are no compatible (Motorola's fault) I need another solution. She has a lot of games on her phone and doesn't want to lose her progress.
Thanks in advance.

For a non-root phone?
Well root it? That's the only way apps can backup system type data.

I was trying to avoid that, but it looks like it's my only option.
I was hoping there was a RAZR HD specific alternative to Helium.
Why avoid rooting it? You can always unroot after backing it all up if it's such a big deal.

It's my "wife's phone" and she's paranoid or something. I've root/ROMed every phone and tablet I've owned, but this is her phone and it's an argument I'd just rather not have.
She's on 4.1.2 (I'm pretty sure it's the June OTA update) so I have motochopper ready, can you please link me to the un-root thread? I haven't seen it.
If you download super su after your rooted there's a unroot option within the app. There's also a few other apps made to just unroot in general. Search the play store.

Thanks for the info.
I got the phone rooted, and I backed up her data, but now I have a new problem.
After the factory reset through the Settings menu, I am in a boot loop where the phone looks like it's trying to pull a firmware update.
Two steps forward, one step back.
Why did you do a factory reset? Flash the stock rom with rsd.

I did end up having to use RSD to flash the stock ROM. After the factory reset the home softkey stopped working, and no notifications were showing up in the pull-down-from-top thing (whose name I clearly forgot).
We got an unlock code, but couldn't actually unlock the phone because it was giving us a "SIM is perso locked" message instead of a "oh that's a foreign SIM, please put in the code" screen. XDA and YouTube both seemed to say that a full reset was in order to get it working. It did, but everything else got ****ed up. RSDL fixed the rest, but it turns out the phone was NOT compatible with her new cell provider afterall. :\
I have been trying to help a friend out who has Net 10 and wants to buy my old Skyrocket for cheap. I ran the Net 10 sim card in the skyrocket with the stock samsung rom that you need to unlock the network lock for free. After verifying that it worked by making calls and recieving texts and data we then began to talk about upgrading to a newer Rom. Well after upgrading to Cyanogen 4.3.1 the problem first began, then it happened again with Cyanogen 4.2.2, and again with this Embryo Rom. I have done everything to the T and its just getting ridiculous that the APN will not save. No matter what I do, as soon as that APN is finished I click save and its gone. What do I do.. I am running the ATT JB Radio that the Cyanogen Mod threads recomend for the 4.3 rom to work. I have not flashed anything other than the recovery, radio, and roms. I am using CWM btw.
Anything?

This isn't a solution for your issue but it may (or may not) offer some insight.
my girlfriend has a glide and when I put cm on it the apns would randomly disappear. Same with pa. the phone came from stock gb. Flashed stock ics and haven't had a problem with it yet.
I would first like to say I'm pretty competent in reading instructions and the "how to's"
But recently every time I flash a rom, my mms stops working either right after a flash or up to a day later.
Also the wifi and data don't seem to stay connected, they just randomly drop.
This goes for any rom I flash, any help or ideas would be awesome.

I'm not too expert on these topic but I would say it has to do with the radios, since you're having problems with data, wifi and MMS.

I did a full restore and wiped everything possible, then went through the motions again. If I stay on a 4.1.2 rom, it doesn't seem to effect it at all, but once I flash 4.2.2 or higher is when it starts happening again. I guess this is what I signed up for once I started flashing lol

Have not tried that one, have you tried CM or Liquid Smooth? Just to see if the problem depends on the rom, and not the Android version.

Stick to 4.1.2 Roms, I respect all the work the devs do on newer versions but am more than content on this one.
