Hi,
I have a Verizon GS3 that was originally running 4.0.4, VRALHE. I rooted, updated the baseband to MF1, and installed RLS16 of HyperdriveROM, so I could get on 4.1.2. I had the option to go GSM or Global, but when I put in my MetroPCS sim, I get nothing. It prompts me for Global, but I cant make calls or send sms. I also put in the APN and no data as well.
After that I installed CyanogenMod 10.1.3. and am still having the same issue. I have an IMEI, it doesnt appear to be lost, and I have tried the phone info app, as well as trying to go through the secret menu, the network lock menu was blank when I was on Hyperdrive, and now the code to bring up the menu doesnt even work on Cyanogen. Any ideas on what I can do to unlock this phone? I've searched similar posts, but none of them seem to be exactly like my issue. Any response would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I recently got a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 from my girlfriend which was locked to T-Mobile (it had been a contract phone). My contract is on Orange so I flashed an insecure kernel in Odin and used Samsung Quick Root to root the phone. I booted it up and managed to unlock (though i'm now not sure if this was a full unlock or some kind of soft-unlock, I don't know if that's even a thing - I used an app called "Galaxy S Unlock"). Anyway I tried sending a text just to make sure and it was fine. I decided to install CyanogenMod (latest version on the website), I did and all was fine. Then I was prompted to update on my phone so I did, halfway through it crashed and - being an idiot - I turned off the phone. After that I could only get as far as the Samsung logo when trying to boot and after that it would return to a black screen.
I did some Googling and decided to flash back to a stock ROM which worked and the phone booted fine. Now however, the phone asks me for the SIM unlock code (making me think this was a soft-unlock) yet I still get bars of signal but if I try to text or call I get the "Not Registered on Network" error. I've tried adding Orange's APN manually but it won't save, everytime I press save and go back into the APN it's blank. I've also tried to select the network using the "Select automatically" as well as trying both Orange and T-Mobile in the network options and simply get an "Unable to connect. Try Later" error. I've also tried to update through the phone and it says it's upto date. I'm currently running Android 4.1.2. The Baseand Version is I9100BVLS4 and the Kernel Version is 3.0.31-889555 with Build Number JZO54K.I9100XWLSY.
Could anyone give me any advice as to what to do? Thanks!

The Galaxy S unlocker mods the EFS folder and putting it back to stock might have messed up something. I would re-root and re-do the unlock. hope you have a copy of the original EFS partition before you started or that the app made a backup for you in case...
After months of being stuck on my Verizon Moto G with a locked bootloader, I finally managed to obtain freedom via the recent update to the SunShine app from jcase. My phone was having some issues prior to unlocking, and it took me several hours of labor and installing/reinstalling things to finally get TWRP and any ROM going properly. I've worked with Android tablets and custom ROMs before, but this is my first time on a Verizon phone.
I managed to get the N5X ROM installed and running, but I couldn't seem to resolve issues with data/mms, which I presume are APN related; trying to enter new APN settings in that ROM wouldn't save for whatever reason, either. For now, I'm back on an optimized stock 4.4.4 image until I can get that figured out.
My question: Is there any list of custom ROMs that do specifically work with a Verizon CDMA/XT1028 Moto G? Does anyone have a guide to getting these ROMs working on Verizon prepaid service, including any APN adjustments that need to be made? Thanks.
Followup: Still trying to figure this out, but the N5X ROM will give me working data if I enable Data Roaming. I've attempted to update the PRL for Verizon via *228, but the phone status still shows as roaming even though my PRL has been updated, displaying my network as T-CDMA 64. Is this simply an issue with my phone not properly identifying roaming/non-roaming due to the custom ROM? Verizon has the best coverage in my area, so I want to make sure it is connecting to the proper towers (and I'm not ACTUALLY roaming). Thanks.
I have a boost moto G XT1031 flashed to Verizon XT1028. I upgrade the bootloader to 41.19 and flashed CM12.1. Everything was fine except that I couldn't make outbound calls. After reading a post about someone with similar situation, I flashed KK 4.4.4 radio XT1028_Verizon_US_CDMA_390.81.01P.zip. But after that all my information under SIM Status and IMEI Info were lost. Now it just says NO SIM Card.
How do I restore it? I have tried to use DFS but after CM12.1 was installed the PC won't install COM ports for the phone so it can't be recognized by DFS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
UPDATE: I managed to install stock KK 4.4.4 and now I am back to be able to receive calls, but not making outbound calls. Also, I can now connect to it using DFS. But I have no idea what to change in DFS. My phone #, MIN, MEID are back, but my PRL is wrong. It's 61010 but I think it's supposed to be 5xxxx something. Also, Network is Unknown and Mobile network type is Unknown. When I dial *228 it says "the number or code you dial is incorrect, please check the code and try again."
Since now I can use DFS, what can I do to make it work on Verizon/PagePlus again?
Thank you.

byrneout420, if you are still having the same problem, this is how I got mine working again. I have another Moto G so I use DFS to save its PRL file to the hard drive, then connect the broken Moto G, and load that PRL file to it. After that I was able to do *228 to restore phone function. Eventually I got CM 12.1 installed and everything works including 3G. During the process, I made MIN, PRL, MEID, etc. disappear again several times, but I never went back to DFS. I just reflash the radio zip, and flashed it several times in a row - I saw this on the forum where someone mentioned to flash the radio zip several times to make it work.
Hope this helps.
I have a sprint gs5, i rooted it, flashed a modded verizon rom for verizons gs5. Boots up no problem. A couple processes stopping occationally. But otherwise seems to be working. I put my sim card in and it said the phone was activated and features updated. But its not my phone number. Its the phone number of the previous owner. I am trying to work on the programming but the programming codes you dial in the phone app do not seem to function. Just calls and says the accountcant be verified. Pretty sure its still sprints network talking as well. I did go try to add apn's but after hitting save they dont show on the list.
Sprint samsung gs5 with verizon rom and philz recovery flashed with ODIN
Rom currently installed: OptimalROM_15_odex-edition_bigbot96
Was not rooted or modified before i got the device.
Also the tutorials said thAt su would disable knox but that never popped up in my experience.
Boots i to recovery fine. Boots into system fine. Does not seem to accept programming codes. (Maybe they are differentforverizon?)
Safestrap apk installed but is blank when opened other thAn title bar.
Busybox and su both installed and work. Titanium bu installed and works.
I havent tried to contact verizon about anything yet.
Can anyone help me with the network programming?
I have qpst on my pc and the phone is detected. Reading about the spc and stuff like that but according to the pc the spc is all zeros already, i read that they are different on non vzw devices.
Maybe in over my head, just getting frustrated.
Will try to get some screenshots of the about phone details asap
If the phone is still using the previous owner's phone number, start by doing a factory reset in recovery. Then let us know what happens after it boots into Android.
Greetings, I have created an account in order to seek help directly.
I received a LG P920 phone already rooted on ICS 4.0.4
At this time mobile networks worked and the phone was able to make calls and such. I did a factory reset which led to a recovery-loop so I followed this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228269
I then obtained CWM 6 using this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144738
And finally decided to flash Cyanogenmod 11 unofficial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-3d/development/rom-t2929971
It was at this point that I realized I couldn't connect to networks at all, thinking maybe the ROM was faulty I went for the official CM10 rom (the last nightly available on cyanogenmod), but that did not work either. Tried returning to ICS (v30a) but I couldn't connect to networks.
I've searched a lot of guides to recovering mobile networks but the catch is that most of them talk of lost IMEI numbers, which my phone hasn't lost. I looked into using LG flashtool aswell but all links are broken, be it for the software, the crack or the dll I need to have.
I'm at a loss right now, most of the guides I've seen here are for different purposes other than just getting the mobile networks going.
The SIM card works on another phone. Also, when trying to enter the password it will at times accept anything or not accept anything at all, even if it's the right code. If I search networks, they will be found but I'll just get 'Can't connect to this network right now'
My Baseband reads LGP920AT-00-V30a-EUR-XXX-APR-04-2013 and I'm currently on CM10
update: I have been informed by the previous owner that this phone hasn't been SIM unlocked, which is probably the problem here. Obviously this wasn't going to be so easy as I obtained the code and attempted to unlock it, but for some reason the process was unsuccessful. guess I'm still lost
Thanks in advance
