Mobile data : Disconnected - Verizon HTC One (M8)

Hey everyone. im in a little bit of a pickle right now and could use some help. so thanks for reading.
just bought an M8 from swappa. previous owner was using it on T-Mobile. he had venom rom flashed. i downloaded the newest one of it and flashed that. i have not been able to get Mobile Data. phone calls, and texts work on Global. but im not able to get online unless i use WiFi. i just did RUU to 4.4.4 and I still have the same problem. any help is appreciated.
edit: when i switch preferred networks to LTE, it doesnt come up with anything and says to switch to global.
thanks
edit 2: went to the vzw store to try a new sim card, still nothing. it all has to do with the Mobile data setting, but i just dont know what to do.

Set it on global. Under cdma options go in and hit the Verizon one to put a bullet next to it. Reboot to boot loader. Make sure you have stock recovery flashed and perform a factory reset.
Edit...and to verify this IS in fact a Verizon m8 right?

Good news is you definitely have a vzw phone and all information there is correct. Let me know the outcome of the above process.

Please Help - Unable To Find Network

so i tried to update to the latest radio by using the following:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "dd", "if=/tmp/radio.img", "of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "dd", "if=/tmp/modem_st1.img", "of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p25");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "dd", "if=/tmp/modem_st2.img", "of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p26");
this left me with no data or network connection and also baseband was unknown.
i then took the firmware.zip from the OTA and did:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Now i am showing latest baseband but my MEID is missing and it says i cannot use this phone without. Can someone please help me fix this issue.
Edit: After rebooting my MEID has come back but i and not able to connect to the verizon network. no bars just a X. It appears no network can be found...
While looking in Network setting > Network preference > I do not see anything verizon related. just vodaphone and F SFR GSM/UMTS

I would reflash this firmware file:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407587377
Then flash whatever kernel you want to run, via fastboot
Then Reboot and wait 5 minutes. If it still doesn't see service go into Settings>Mobile Data and make sure Preferred Network is "Global mode" and then reboot and wait again.
EDIT: also, since you flashed the full firmware package you should probably go ahead and flash TWRP while you in fastboot flashing the kernel

You can set LTE/CDMA in there as well, but you don't want GSM/UMTS assuming you're using Verizon.

I've got tons of options in there but I'm not sure specifically what they all do. None of mine appear to be selected...that being said, if that was all the issue was down to you could do a full wipe of data/system/cache in recovery and reflash your ROM to eliminate that as a possibility.

Sprint SM-G900P Wont get signal from Metro PCS.... HELP PLease

Hope someone is up for a challenge.
Yesterday I went to Metro PCS to port my number and phone to them after using Sprint for 15 years.
They told me it was locked and I need to have it unlocked.
So I came home and found a guy on here to do it for me, Unlock.
I went back the lady registered the phone and sim and made a call to her store number and it rang.
I went outside and tried to call my wifes phone to make sure it would work and it tells me its connecting to Sprint network and I need to enter a credit card# to use it.
I went back today and they entered the APN info. and spent an hour with customer service and couldnt fix it.
They told me to wait 2 days and see if it would come on later in the week after they looked at their system.
HELP i need my phone.
what OS are you on? many stock OS's wont let an APN change stick, so itll revert back to trying to use sprint towers instead of the t-mobile stuff youre entering in the APN settings. Who did the unlock for you? If youre rooted, i suggest the marshmallow version of the resurrection remix ROM as it has all the APNs built in and all you have to do is select it. I use H2O wireless, and it had it listed in the APN choices.
did assadnow2k do the unlock? or stifilz?

As to who did the unlock here he is
http://www.mitchwalkerservers.co.uk/ 2016/07/ sprint.html
As far as what Os am i on I have no clue. I use whatever one they have posted for the MOAR 7 flash.
Please can you provide a website or instruction.
I know how to flash and install stuff sort of.

so i just need to install MOAR 7.1 and change the settings in it?
ive even had it to where MOAR wouldnt allow me access to the area where you edit the APN, all you need to do in those instances is dirty flash (reinstall the ROM without wiping anything) and reboot, then itll again allow you access to that menu and youre off to the races again. Ive been down your exact road several times my friend

yep. youre far better off that way. The stock ROM isnt too friendly with APN changes. Ive been using GSM on my G900P for about 10 mos now via several different MVNOs (cell service resellers like straight talk, boost, cricket, etc ect) and the stock ROMs just arent the best for this. Also, the best unlocking service out there that ive ran into is http://www.idoneapps.com/ They just know exactly what theyre doing, and have the moderators that provider the backup for their product that can guarantee that itll work. They rock.

NO!!!! dont extract it. Boot into recovery, select backup and restore, make a backup, select factory reset, select install, select your zip, let it install, boot. itll take like 10 min to boot the first time and itll get pretty hot

Can someone please confirm if this clears existing data? I thought Odin doesn't work in this case because of the locked bootloaded on Verizon?

Yes, it probably will. If you are that worried about it, backup your data first. Odin will work even with the bootloader locked. Locked bootloader does not prevent you from loading official firmware.

What app can we use to back up all data like apps sceen layout ect... since we don't have root on Verizon, I know we can't use titanium back up because we don't have root bit is their a similar app to do what that does

Not sure you'll be able to preserve that. I was referring to user data, not system data.

Helium or My Backup Pro, but they are limited without root, which means some data can be restored, but not all.

I extract and I get several files? None of them being .tar files. Does anyone have the 4 files to flash in odin? Am I the only one who didn't get the 4 files mentioned when extracting the Md5? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You have to go in odin and select PDA and then add the entire md5 file! If you don't want to do it that way, then you have to download a zipping app like 7z or similar and create the .tar yourself.. Which is pointless unless you're planning on flashing 1 file like the boot.img for a reason or other.. The md5 file has all of the files that need to be flashed there's no need to unzip the files. Just flash as is!
If you're downloading from the OP then you need to unzip the file from the .zip because you can only flash .md5 or .tar.

Try flashing a modem only file then which is for that signal.. Also boot into recovery using the 3 button combo and clear your Cache after a flash..

I've cleared it after flash and no fix. Does anyone have a modem file I could use. Does it have to be from the same firmware version?

Is it an actual Verizon phone? And do you know for sure that it's Verizon? Go into settings then about phone and tell me what model it says. If it says other than SM-N920V then it's not a Verizon one.. You can only flash firmware for a specific carrier.. Also check the APN settings too.. And about the modem no you don't have to use the same exact one from the same firmware version you can try a different one however I don't think that'll fix the problem.. Try checking the APN settings first.. Also if you just dropped a sim card into it without first giving Verizon the IMEI then it's not gonna work! You'll have to give them the IMEI and if the IMEI is bad the phone will never work at least not with Verizon.

It is indeed n920v clean imei through verizon prepaid. It gets apn through SIM card which is accurate I have signal T all times and internet/mms work. However when I boot my phone or randomly every so often it will say 'searching for service' throughout the day while still full having signal. During this time I don't receive calls/messages/internet notifications and it is stuck that way until I notice it and dial my voicemail which it then displays "Verizon wireless" and then all notifications come through.

Maybe try using this downgraded version from my Android File Host and flash it using odin but before flashing take the sim card out and after it's done flashing immediately do a factory reset by holding the power and volume down button and after the screen turns off and then back on select shut down and then boot into recovery and do the factory reset after it's finished put the sim card back in then turn it on and go through all the setup and see if it works.. Let the phone charge some first don't try doing this at 3% battery cause if it shuts down in the middle it can brick the phone. Not likely but it could.

No data using unlocked AT&T Samsung S7- HELP

My apologies if this has been dealt with elsewhere, if so please just point me where to go...
Last week we switched to T-Mobile from AT&T. I had AT&T unlock all 4 of our phones. That was done successfully.
So my wife starts using her S7 and she can make calls and text just fine, but she calls from work saying she has no data. Hmm. So I call tech support. They have me change Access Point info several times, but still no luck. Tech guy "escalates" things to "Engineering" but we haven't heard boo from them.
I was tinkering with the phone and recall Airplane mode can sometimes kickstart data issues, sure enough, if I turn Airplane Mode on, then off, I get full 4G LTE signal and we can surf. But the minute I reboot the phone, we lose data connection until I do the airplane trick.
Note that all of our other phones have no issues like this, and yes, tech says all phones show having full access to data.
So has anyone had this issue and successfully fixed it? If so how? It's driving us crazy.
Thanks in advance.

Ok it's actually easier to give you instructions on the main thread but first I need you to make sure you have access to a computer unless you are actually using xda so assuming you are near your computer when you have time back up your wife's phone with smart switch, here is a download link http://www.samsung.com/us/assets/Smart_Switch_pc_setup.exe
Matter of fact I got a call from T-Mobile telling me to try to "flash the software" and use the Smart Switch to back things up. I downloaded the Smart Switch for PC but when I tried to open it, it wouldn't install, gave me some weird error message.
So once I get the phone backed up, can you point me to how to flash the T-Mobile software? I'm crossing my fingers this is fairly easy since I'm not much of a tech when it comes to deeper smartphone tweaking (ROM's this and that lol).
Thanks for your help folks. I just want a smooth running phone vs. giving T-Mobile $30 more a month for an identical phone.

So download Odin from here http://samsungodin.com/download/Odin3_v3.12.3.zip and then here is tmobile firmware http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=F3096555AECD11E6B04AFA163EE8F90B
Thanks for the links, do you (or anyone else) have a detailed list of installation instructions? Teach me like I'm in 3rd grade.

Ok first put your phone In download mode by holding down volume down+power+home until you see this
Sorry, posted too soon here is what you will see while in download mode
So am I downloading both those files above to my PC, or to the phone? At what point to do I put phone into Download mode??
I guess the big question, what are the odds that this bricks her phone?
thx
And then in Odin you will see 4 tabs BL AP CP CSC click on the BL button next to the message box and select your downloads folder do this for the AP CP and CSC as well and click start

The bootloader is locked so you can only brick your phone if you unplug it while it is flashing also you may have to use a modified Odin program so if you need it let me know
So to confirm the steps:
First backup my phone using Samsungs software via my PC then..
Download the two files you posted earlier TO MY PC.
Open Odin and get the folders situated..
Plug in the phone to the PC and set it to Download mode
Let it do it's thing..once done I should have the full T-Mobile software and no more AT&T junk?
Sound correct..if not, please fill in any missing steps.
Much appreciated.

Thanks, so how would I know if I need a modified Odin program??
How do I make sure I have the correct drivers? Assuming I need those loaded to the PC(?) BEFORE I start all this process?

Use this link to download drivers http://developer.samsung.com/common/download/check.do?actId=698
So have you done this same thing to an AT&T S7 with full success? Just wondering. My wife won't let me hear the end of it if I brick this phone. LOL

I believe so. I got it to finally flash but it will lock up on me and can't allow su rights to certain apps they will freeze the phone. I did the wipe of the cashes and factory reset then flash still acts funny and can't get rid of half the bloat ware

I finally got 7.1 working with 3g. Not 4g though.
When I try to edit APN, it lets me go in, but then I can't save it.
