Hey all. I flashed my first rom today and its just stuck on "activate mobile data service". If I press skip, it would be able to make calls but no 3g data. I took out the sim card and still no luck. There is no APN settings on the mobile options. Not sure what to do here.

Call Sprint (using a phone other than your Nexus 5) and ask them to re-provision your data. This happens quite frequently on other devices also after flashing a new ROM with Sprint service.
Just keep in mind that neither Google or Sprint have to support the custom ROM. While they may not know that you are on the custom ROM, I would just put it back to stock and see if it work first.
I found the fix. There's a flashable apn zip for sprint that got me data.

[FIX] Get Sprint Data To Work On Custom Roms.
sent from my HAMMERHEAD neXus
I have the same problem
Hi guys I have the same problem. My sprint Galaxy s4 had a custom rom installed,and sprint told me I cannot activate my phone because of this. Anyhow I installed the factory rom on it. After that they activated it for me, I'm wondering if I can root it again and flash an custom rom again. Please someone help. Would it affect my phone service.
Um this is nexus 5 forum

I have a problem that I was not able to find anywhere here. I am not able to get 4g at all even in areas I know I get 4g in. I have tried changing the mobile networks, flashing the newest radios, reinstalling Rom 3 times and have not been able to fix it. Any ideas anyone?

Right now I am on EHRPD - Verizon Wireless, but I have tried changing it to LTE - Verizon Wireless. After about a minute it seems to change back by itself because when I check it, it is back at EHRPD. Ideas?
APN is VZWINTERNET for both EHRPD and LTE and that seems weird to me.
Did you flash a PRL?

PRL is Preferred Roaming List. Its a file that tells your device which towers to connect to.

Ah I see, but I haven't flashed any of those. I've read in other threads that there's no reason to change from Verizon's rpl. Do you think differently?

Fixed*
I was able to fix* my problem
*I had to factory reset the phone from within the OS so I lost root and possibly unlocked bootloader. Gonna go do that again and try the ROM again.

A factory wipe should not relock the bootloader.

Yea I just ran the unlock app and it showed as unlocked. I apparently am still rooted as well. I thought I would have to root for sure. Hopefully now any custom ROMS I install will show 4G.
Any time you do a factory wipe, all you do is delete all the data and settings, but it doesn't touch the kernel or bootloader, so if you have a custom rooted ROM and you factory reset, you will still start up into a rooted custom ROM, but with all blank settings/apps etc...

So I am a noob but have successfully flashed a few roms onto my phone with no issue. Today I tried to flash cm10.1 and all hell broke loose. I flashed cm10.1 though clockworkmod (now I know that was not correct) and then reset everything and did it though bootrecovery. I also flashed the gaaps and now I do not have data or local cell service. It is showing that I am roaming (like i am out of the country) and asking me if I want the data on and would be charged for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, at this point I have a phone that I cannot use. Thank you in advance

Im in Costa Rica on vacation and I just upgraded my wifes Verizon S3 to 4.1.1 in order to unlock the GSM capabilities of the phone. I placed a Costa Rican sim card in the phone and voice calls work great. I have paid for a data plan on the SIM card, but I can not get data to work.
I was told by the phone company here to set my APN to 'kolbi3g'. Unfortunately there is no option to to add an APN.
I just rooted my phone, and I still have no option to add an APN.
When I go to More settings -->Mobile Networks --> APNs and I click the menu button all I get is "Reset to default". With a rooted phone there has to be a way to set the APN
Any help?
Sidenote- I have a rooted RAZR MAXX, and voice and data work great
Thank you
1. Get apn manager pro.
2. Get titanium backup pro.
3. Install both and then make apn manager pro a system app in titanium backup.
Remember they both have to be pro version for it to work

With or without a custom rom you still have to do this.
Also there is less hassle using a custom rom like clean rom or synergy or beans imo.
That worked!!!! Thank you so much
this is to fix mms messaging on metropcs flashed verizon galaxy s3. place zip on sdcard, reboot into recovery and flash the zip then reboot. once phone boots up go to settings, more settings, mobile networks, access point names. you will see lte-verizon internet apn click on it to activate apn then reboot. once booted back up send yourself a mms message, it may hang on sending/pending if so turn on airplane mode, then turn off airplane mode and all should be good. this was tested on 4.1.2 with verizon sim in the phone. with non-verizon sim or no sim in had to use apn manager to activate apn
extremely huge thanks to mrctony for being so awesome to mail me a test s3 to develope this fix u rock man
Update: now added 4.3 test zip. The 4.3 zip is for DEODEX ROM ONLY pls post results.

Yeah, it might be something with CM11 then, it doesn't happen all the time but I get it quite often since CM11.
I also get 3g data drops, and I have to restart in order to get it again,I hope CM11 fix that soon.
Thanks for your response.

Hey everyone, I have flashed many Sprint variants to MetroPCS but never a Verizon. Is the process the same? Does the SIM slot need to be unlocked?

Verizon phones usually are factory unlocked but that doesn't matter for flashing it that only matters if u want to put it on metropcs gsm. As for flashing its basically the same but verizon u will prob have to enable hidden menu and when u flash connect to it send spc and set it to nv only then reboot then reconnect write prl and flash as normal

I have an unlocked G2 from Verizon, rooted. 8 have all the carrier settings in place, but I have a couple icons on top of status bar that I want to go away. Do I need to install a TMO ROM for that? There is a SIM card symbol, the roaming symbol and what looks to be the GPS, but the GPS is off, slim assuming it's the global symbol. Any help would be nice.. thanx...

I think most of us understand the different carrier bands.
The phone itself is unlocked. So it supports GSM. The question is mostly is there a ROM that will give an equivalent support for the ROM to act like the GSM tmobile ROM
Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
did anyone figure out how to get t mobile rom properly loaded onto verizon g2? I been working on this for a while but it doesnt even let me flash it. gives me error message could not open zip.
You can try doing this.
All models are the same hardware with some minor difference. CDMA VS GSM has nothing to do with flashing roms.
What I would do is get cloudystock rom and unzip it. Inside of it you will see a folder named variant. Get copy all those files from your variant folder and paste/replace on a tmobile rom with 7zip.
There you will have a tmobile rom with all the requirements from your model to work.
Let me know if this helps. Good luck
