So I have a rooted LG Thrill 4g with clockwork recovery mod on it, and it was running the latest Thriller rom. Its on the AT&T network (booo!)
Unfortunately, I turned it off and tried to boot into the recovery by holding volume down and the power button (I have done this once before and it worked just fine). But this time nothing showed up; the phone didnt light up and there was no vibration, even if I tried to turn it on by just holding the power button. It is COMPLETELY unresponsive to normally turning it on. My guess is the device maybe had not entirely shut down when i tried to boot the recovery, possibly causing it to loop and brick itself?
Anyways, I got 2 new lg thrills from AT&T (didnt root them this time) and with my sim card in either of them, both tell me no sim card, emergency calls only. However the sim works just fine in a AT&T crap-phone I got for 20 bucks at walmart, thats not 4g or anything.
AT&T will send me a new sim card soon, but if anyone knows why my old sim card isnt being recognized, or how to unbrick or unroot my original LG Thrill I would be eternally grateful. I have to give it back to AT&T soon and if they find out it was rooted, they will probably charge me the full price of the phone *GASPS* Please help me out guys if anything comes to mind, thanks!
Anyone help me out?? ^^^
I am in the same boat as you. i rooted my thrill and everything was going good. I powered it off and tried to cut it back on and it wouldnt cut on. So now it is unresponsive. Ive posted many threads asking for help and no on e will reply. Nothing. So I dont know whats going on. But my guess is we dont have any help on this topic. Many people and there bricks or they are stuck on loading loops but I cant even get mine to cut on.
Hey I have i747 Galaxy unlock. I bought a sim and it was working until i got home. When i got home the signal totally dropped ..When i got the school it picks up back again at certain parts of school. How can i fix this. I am not a techy . so i would need a step by step guide. I have already rooted the device. I am in Jamaica an di bought the ohone in the States and unable to send it back. What should i do.
I already tried to pulling the battery and removing the sim.
I tried changing to GSM only
I tired restoring the phone and nothing works
my friend was also trying to flash a modem on but it deletes the efs files. he said he tried to back up the efs file and it still not working.
i am in a corner here
It's an H950 from the $250 ebay deal. I am on ATT service and the phone worked fine at H95010d
I contacted ATT customer service and had them pushed OTA software update to me. The first agent pushed H95011x to me, and things went wrong since then.
The phone cannot read the sim card (but no missing sim notice), baseband shown as unknown, if I press the "status" under the "about phone" page, the screen will flash black then go back to the about phone page.
Then I tried a factory reset. The phone started normal as if everything was fine, it just works on the first boot after the reset. But once I restart the phone, it went back to the same situation as above. I tried many times and the whole process is highly repeatable.
After that, I contacted ATT again, had the H95011z pushed to me, and it did not change the problem. Replacing sim card does not help, either.
Then I tried to get to those recovery methods on the forum, including installing the LGE mobile device drivers. But then under download mode, the phone (LGE Android MTP device) is shown as "this device cannot start (code 10)". Thus I was not able to perform fix with the tools.
I am kinds of stuck in the middle. Any help and/or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

I am having exactly the same problem. I also replaced the SIM card, but instead of trying the 11z version I tried the rooted 11x version without any change.
As you wrote, a factory reset will restore the ability to make calls until the first reboot. For data, there is no APN listed. Manually inputing the APN info will cause data to work perfectly, but all APN data is lost/missing again on reboot.

I've sent the phone back for an exchange, and the new one is coming tomorrow. Just noticed your reply.
So there is no fix for this? Or is there a problem with the ATT OTA update we should be aware of?

This may not be a widespread issue, so there might've been an issue particularly with your Flex (maybe corrupt file?). I've used 11x/z without encountering this.

Feels nervous when finding others had the same issue.
Just want to make sure if there's anything i should know of before dealing with the new unit coming tomorrow.
quick report:
Received the exchange. Seems new as the last one but does not contain the ATT sim as the last one did.
Tried update with date changing, for like 20 times no luck. Chatted ATT service to push the two updates (11x and 11z) in, one after another. Gone through the process without problem, and seems working fine now.
So, it may be device dependent or case specific. Thank you for your input.
I also had to send mine back. It's sitting on my front step now. The strange thing is that the email telling me the phone was being sent back only listed a speaker problem, which I did not have and never mentioned. We'll see.

Are you an AT&T customer? I can not get the update to come OTA, whether with an ATT valid SIM or a different SIM. I also tried calling and because I have a business ATT line, I got business support and the lady was clueless about pushing the update to my phone from her end.

What time of day are you calling? I found calling during east coast business hours got me the right people. Ask the agent if they can do a google search from their computer, when/if they say yes ask them to search for H95011x or H95011z. The first or second result should be the AT&T page that explains the update, once my rep had that info things went MUCH better. (I just noticed for me the first result is my post on this forum LOL)
I got my Flex 2 back and LG did nothing to fix it. The repair said "fixed speaker". I never said anything about a speaker. After a couple frustrated calls I had to send it a second time. The second time, it was returned "no problem found". The phone is unusable as it can only be used after a reset and before a reboot or power off. More fun with LG later today. Ultimately, though, the reps don't give a crap; I couldn't even get the last rep to increase shipping speed, even though they failed to repair it the first time.
So I bought this phone off ebay..said it was NEW FACTORY UNLOCKED.
Thats fine, I received it and did a reset on it.....and it hung on the samsung splash screen....I found someone posted the odin files (THANKFULLY!) And got it to work, but I could t flash them all, I had to only flash the AP. So im stuck, the phone doesnt always get 4G and just goes to H+. In LTE areas..whats up with that? It's an att phone on the att network.. How can I reverse this?'i love the phone but I want it back to its normal state....thanks in advance.
Edit: it does mention something about dm-verify error, check DRK...?
Oh snap, just thought id compare the IMEI, since someone said it sounds like someone changed it and they were right! The imei in the glass on the back does NOT match what the imei in the settings says..one IMEI is good...the other says LOST/STOLEN.
Time to open up a dispute. Thanks for the tip. Cant believe they can get away with stuff like this...
Go to best buy and have them flash the stock firmware
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using XDA-Developers mobile app
Ok this is a long one. I have an unlocked Samsung S7 Edge running SM-G935U firmware (G935UUES4BQG1).
This morning both my wife and my phone stopped being able to call out but everything else worked. After much suffering (2hrs+) it turns out that disabling and reenabling google voice (which is no longer supported by Sprint since WHEN??) fixed it for her.
However for me after a ##78726# to force reprovisioning, my phone is stuck w a notification saying "Checking Device Status..." from Sprint OMADM. Nothing progresses on the phone and customer support is saying nothing is happening on their end. We've tried all sorts of things to no avail.
I'm thinking that there is something about the unlocked phone that Sprint's provisioning process doesn't like.
In the meantime I've got a very expensive tablet with zero cel services.
any ideas??
BTW been a customer of Sprint for 19 years. Amazing I keep putting up with this.
also
not sure if this is relevant but in the past I had to self configure my APN to get data/LTE working.
I tried using the settings here https://apn.gishan.net/settings/1429_21_sprint_apn_settings_for_samsung_galaxy_s7_edge.php
but it didn't help the provisioning standstill issue.
I have the same issue going on with my sprint Samsung s9+. Wondering how to fix it? It keeps saying its checking device?
I have a s8 Active here in China Sprint model. I removed SIM and went through set up then i put in my sim. Everything is working. I forced stopped that app and everything seems to work. I'm sure it will come back on reboot however. I'm ok with that.
