so i was on cataclysm from the beginning and everything worked great. I flashed stock 4.4.4 cause i want to use just xposed with a nice vanilla rom. everything works great except i cant get or place calls. i have sprint lte full bars, can get data and everything send texts/mms, go on facebook, dl stuff, just no calls. wifi or not doesnt matter either. everytime i try to place one it just sits on dialing and i lose all bars and then says can t make call, no connection. once i hang up the bars and lte come back.
I have noticed my network ends up on global sometimes instead of LTE but even when i switch it to LTE it still doesnt work. i have updated prl and profile too. Any ideas? thanks
EDIT: yeah i still cant seem to fix it. I was going to go back to a 4.4.2 rom but for some reason it fails in twrp everytime now... :/ but this is the exact problem i am having in this thread https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/Or6_6zCtBwc
seems like it might be sprints fault

Install 4.4.4 using fastboot. And after make sure you are using the latest version of twrp.

Personally I would flash the factory images again just to rule out software being the issue, if it still happens then I guess RMA or whatever.

yeah i'll give that a try. weird thing is this happened only after i flashed 4.4.4 from cataclysm 4.4.2. i am waiting to hear if an RMA fixes the issue since someone else is already going that route. it sounds to me like it might be sprint

I doubt it is sprint causing this, or it would be all over these forums. I'd definitely install 4.4.4 via fastboot it'll give you the newest radio and the stock recovery. I'm betting this will fix your issue. Then just use fastboot or flashify to install the newest twrp, and flash su in recovery. If this doesn't fix it, it's a hardware issue.

thanks ill try it out when i got a spare moment. now that im thinking of it this all happened after i updated twrp, so could that be the root of all this you think? because i used the twrp app to update it instead of flashing, and i noticed it has been acting extremely weird lately.
You might check your APN settings. I had issues with MMS after flashing 4.4.4.

I think the boost mobile universal APN fix for Samsung will work. I wish I had a link for you but I am on my phone ATM . If you can't find it via Google send me a pm tomorrow and I will give you a link. If you look in my androidfilehost account it should be in there somewhere mixed in with my cm builds for kltespr.

Not 100% sure what you mean, but some Odin packages do not contain every part of your system so there may be things that don't get overwritten. If you saying what I think you are, then you probably need to find a different version of the Odin package to flash that will restore all the parts of your device.

Well if you did some more research you would see that it's your kernel causing problems. I won't tell you what kernel to flash because that would be too easy.

Try skyhigh kernel 2.1 and you're laughing. [emoji5] [emoji5]
I'm having that same issue. I rooted using the guide on here, using Oden, TWRP, and the Noble root Kernal. The phone is only rebooting while making phone calls. It usually happens right around 1 minute into the phone call. I have searched on here and tried coming up with something onew google. From what I have read is it something wrong with the kernal? Just hoping someone can point me in the right direction on how to correct this problem, and is all that needs to be done is flash a different kernal? If so what kernel should I use. Sorry for hijacking your thread, just didn't want to make another one asking the same question. Any help is greatly appreciated
It's a kernel issue, guys. Flash a different one and you should be good.
That's kinda what I gathered, just wanted to verrify that was the issue before I went screwing around and messed something up, thanks for the reply though.
What kernel should we try ? I'm on a tmobile note 5
Well I'm running forever Loco rom no mods except for what comes with rom as stated b4 I have went back to stock backup and still the same problem if anyone who posted in the thread would be so kind to tell me which kernel I should try would be gladly appreciated

If you don't know what you're doing then you should do plenty of research... You shouldn't ever "screw around" if you don't know what you're doing. Keep reading and learn how to properly flash everything before you do this stuff or else you'll end up with a fancy paperweight.

You need to flash that file through custom recovery. You have to download it to your phone then boot into your custom recovery to install it. Just follow the directions on aryer97's thread where you downloaded the kernal.
Hello, i have a Samsung Galaxy S6 U.S. Cellular. Sm 920R4 i believe. Anyways, i was trying to flash TWRP Recovery. When after i did, my device rebooted and took me to the TWRP recovery screen. Expected. But my Touchscreen wouldnt work. So this happened 2 days ago but im still trying to fix it. i decided to try some different versions of TWRP. Well, one of them worked but it reversed my touchscreen. So i managed to get into my os, BACKWARDS. I have been using everything backwards including the keyboard and its driving me nuts. I attempted to flash my stock recovery and stock firmware via odin. Odin says "failed" every tiume i try to flash it, so i moved the zip to my s6, and it still doesn't work. if fails. I dont know what to do. Someone, anyone, please help me. I recently tried flashing a rom and it turned out to be the rom that makes the s6 look like the s6 edge plus. Well, i didnt copy down my imei or serial number before doing it. So i cant use smart switch. I really need someone to just help me out. Even if its just a tweak or something to flip the screen back to normal. Someone please help me. BTW, the secret codes havent worked for me to update the screen. Maybe im doing something wrong, but at the moment the phone doesnt have service

This might not work If you have modified rom, or you will waste a lot of time reverting to stock and back.

How do you mean that they don't work? Nothing happen when you dial them? Do you have custom ROM or did you unabled or uninstall any of the sistem apps?
How about the twrp app. If you have root access you can change the version of twrp

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.

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.

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.

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..

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.
