Hey everyone. I'm having a problem with my network after going into the test menu (*#*#4636#*#*). I'm hoping someone can help me out, and hopefully this will also help others in the future that have the same problem. I haven't seen any other discussion about this for this phone. I am on Verizon Wireless and have a Droid RAZR MAXX HD.
Background: I was helping a friend re-enable 4G LTE on her HTC Thunderbolt, which the store had disabled for her when she first got it because 4G was not yet available in her city. I figured this was done in the test menu, so I went to it from mhy phone to help her set similar settings.
The Problem: Stupidly enough, because I love tinkering with things, I pressed the menu button (...) and pressed the "Set GSM/UMTS Band" button. My two options were "USA Band" and "Cellular". I panicked a bit, then thinking, decided to select "USA Band". When I did that, I was on Verizon Wireless, and I get LTE data. However, I can't make or receive phone calls. My phone won't ring (though it "rings" for the person trying to call me and they get to my voicemail). If I try to call someone else, it hangs perpetually at "dialing". Setting the band to "Cellular" gives me both LTE/1X data and phone calls, but now I'm perpetually stuck on "Extended Network", which I can only imagine is U.S. Cellular in my area.
Normally, this wouldn't be a problem. I can make and receive calls just fine, data works OK. However, I'm afraid that when I travel and (what I think is) U.S. Cellular, I'm going to be in trouble, and not be able to make or receive phone calls. I need to fix this before I travel. I understand that doing a factory reset or SBF to ICS will solve the problem (please confirm if this will fix it?), but that's my ultimate and final solution. I'm not rooted right now so I don't have the luxury of backing up my app data and text messages, and would like to find a different way to fix this first if it exists. I'm hoping I didn't permanently screw up my phone. Any help is appreciated.
I would just backup your phone using my backup or my backup root. Rooting your RAZR HD maxx is very very simple.. I would backup using my backup and restore back to stock ics using matts utility (Google it) and then root, then protect root using ota root keeper from the marketplace and then protect root and unroot in the app. Then install the ota update from Verizon. Then re enable root in the app and make sure to update binaries in superuser. That is very important. Then just protect root and unroot and upgrade to jellybean. Then your problem will be fixed and you will have root on jellybean. If you need me to list it in simpler terms and help you through any of the process, just message me bud. Good luck!

Instead of rooting the device, you might just do a factory reset to resolve this issue... Saves your warranty and rooting won't fix the radio misconfiguration.

A simpler set of steps are:
1. Backup my phone phone
2. Download matts utility
3. Restore back to ICS using the utility
4. Root using utility
5. Push OTA root keeper app using utility
6. Protect root and unroot
7. Install over the air update (OTA)
8. Enable root and update binaries in app
9. Protect root again and unroot
10. Install JB and re enable root
Rooting is definitely worth the benefits and restoring back to stock firmware is very easy if you need to return it under warranty. I have never had a case where they rejected my warrant because I was rooted. They all go to a factory and are just sbf'd back to stock anyway and repaired hardware wise. I wouldn't worry about it buddy. And another note, all the employees of my Verizon store have their phones rooted and even encouraged me to root mine for obvious reasons. Good luck buddy.

Thanks for the detail, itsdubai. I am aware of how to root, and I had my phone rooted on ICS and I used Voodoo OTA RootKeeper. The step I flubbed was not using "temp unroot". That caused me to lose root even though I thought I had protected it. I wish I had done it correctly the first time because then I wouldn't be so concerned about having to do a factory reset or SBF to ICS. However, the My Backup suggestion has definitely alleviated some of my concerns. The loss of text messages and other unrecoverable data was my biggest issue. I hate losing my app data but I can stomach that.
Do you or does anyone else know about this particular "Set GSM/UMTS Band" problem, and are we 100% sure that a factory reset or SBF back to ICS then OTA update will for sure fix the problem? Is there no other way to fix this without doing one of those things? I imagine that this configuration is set on the ROM somewhere and that Verizon just didn't leave an option to have the right bands active, so I'm just trying to make 100% sure that refreshing the ROM like this will fix it. Even with My Backup, setting a phone back up from factory is frustrating.

I had similar issues when I was playing with a Droid bionic. The only solution I found to fix the signal was to reset to do a factory reset... I saw out actually reset some BP code which I found was really interesting.

Just warning when you play in this setting ... some phone and baseband ... is not restaured with a full restore or reset...
( by exemple the pantech burst ... go to wcdma mode only ... switch back to default with lte... lte never working ... some friend have same problem with different phone ... )
Same problem

Recently i also got into the same situation and the other day i had an early morning flight to catch, so i was in a hurry, i seeked all over the net but didn't got any solution other then flashing the ROM again which was a headache. Here i get you the solution of the same without formating the device !!
Boot your device to bootloader !! Execute following comands these worked on Motorola devices but will work on other too !!
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

Hello,
How & where to run these commands for my OnePlus 2 ?
For OP2, there is a Toolbox which runs in DOS on PC.
Am I supposed to put my phone in Fastboot mode, & then run these commands on the DOS based toolbox ?
Actually, I tried to change Radio Band of my phone, which resulted in one of my 3G SIM not getting detected !
but other LTE sim, is working fine though.

Hi, i have the same problem with my Xperia M4 Aqua. I stupidly pressedat the "Select Radioband" option and moronly select "USABand". Now my phone can't make nor receive a call and only runs in LTE Network.I have read some forums that suggested me to install the MTK Engineering and I have tried to download the MTK Engineering Mode, but it won't also run in my phone, it says that my phone isn't supported. Now i've been so confused.
Is factory reset my device is a wise option and can fix the problem?
did ne1 say chnge it back
Use somthing like xprivacy or that, mine has gsm umst or auto, its in settings using the app root or not, :crying: :good:
Hello all,
Me and My Wife both have New Photon Qs, Mine has been rooted, Custom Recovery and all that on the newest stock rom.
Hers it completely stock, she moved to upgrade it to the newest release last night the upgrade went off without a hitch however not when she calls out she gets an audible error "Error 16, Switch 321" and Texts Fail to send, how ever 3G works, 4G not available in out area,
I kept both of our MSL codes and compare settings, nothing different except the obvious, Also forced a Reactivation on her phone ##RTN# this did not work either.
As she is still well within her 14 day return, and 30 sprint warranties, should I have them swap this phone out?
Sprint was not much help in this Matter
Try to force a PRL update.
Then I would at least have Sprint look at it.

yeah, after the update, phone service can fail. when she makes a call, if she stays on the line the error should redirect her to Sprint Tech who SHOULD be able to fix it and tell her to reboot the phone. i went thru that 2 or 3 times(messing with my phone and re-updating ). i think i tried manual methods but to no avail.
Thank you both for the replies, I have Forced the PRL and just forwarded your message yogi2010, to her to have her try it as I am at work

cool, that should do the trick. i just remembered she will have to provide the account PIN or answer the security question to authorize the reset.
She has all security info, I guess as of this morning, after leaving it off all night, she can make phone calls again, just not Text
I was having issues on my rooted verizon galaxy s3 running beans version 15. I would get a circle on data when tethering. I went back to root66 learned my IMEI and ERI were set to zero and now they are at 5 and the correct things...I have data I've had it 4g LTE that is and can tether just fine. I'm using my phone currently to ask this question. I cannot dial or send texts...on beans it just says dialing with no tone on root66 it would say no network available. My # shows my service is there...when I click LTE/CDMA in network it says searching and I hit ok. I don't know if that means it needs to search first or what...I really don't know what to do I have searched all day and done everything I know to do and now I'm just lost. I also did *228 and it said my sim wasn't registered then I rebooted and did it and it worked....so no clue what is going on.
Under phone status my phone said Service State: Out of Service when on root66 but now it says In Service. Still don't understand this.
Mobile network state: connected in root66 it was trying to connect randomly.
Phone #: Correctly displayed
Prl and ERI Version: 15211 and 5
Device State: normal.
Everything seems good : (

I'm having the same problem. I haven't yet gone back to Root66, because that is going to be a major pain (really REALLY don't like using ODIN and haven't found a flashable zip to use from CWM), and my phone has had trouble staying connected to a computer ever since I took it out in a snowstorm a few months back, so I'm nervous that doing stuff via ODIN is going to end poorly. This was after I flashed to Carbonrom 1.7, which is Android 4.2.2. Initially I got stuck on the activation screen, with no phone number, nothing, but after I switched my CDMA subscription mode from NV to RUIM/SIM, I got the phone number and PRL version back. Phone number now appears correct, and PRL version is 15223. IMEI still reads 0, though. I had an IMEI backup from back when I first flashed from ICS to JB, but restoring it doesn't seem to have any effect. I'm going to keep looking for a flashable Root66 zip, and if not I'll see if I can get something to work via ODIN (or see if I can maybe get the AOSP modem solution thing to work though the script I found didn't run) and report back. I don't do a whole lot of phone calls, and data is working fine, so it's not a hugely pressing issue, but I do want to get this solved ASAP. If anyone's got any thoughts or input, I know we'd both appreciate help. In the meantime, I'll press on and we'll see what happens.

I had an issue installing carbon rom too a while back but just went back to stock and then redid everything from there...this is my first time encountering such a huge issue that I can't solve on my own. Everything seems FINE now..IMEI everything was repaired and fixed. Odin takes around 12-15 minutes if you wanted to try that...How did you change your subscription mode? Maybe there are some things I haven't tried yet....if so I'd like to know how and where.

System Settings>More...>Mobile Networks>CDMA Subscription.
I had issues with Carbon 1.6.1, and flashed back to 1.5, which was great except that occasionally normal-pressing the home button would start registering as a long-press until I rebooted. Decided to try Carbon 1.7, then this happened. As I understand it, though, whether or not your IMEI gets borked is a bit of a matter of chance, not necessarily ineptitude on the part of a ROM's developer team. That's why you're encouraged to backup your IMEI before any serious system modification. Dunno why my backup isn't working, though... that part is what's most annoying.

That you can do. There are multiple guides out there for completely resetting back to stock, for situations like needing to return a phone to Verizon and wanting to erase any trace of your fooling around with OS components. For me, I seem to be completely unable to connect the phone to computer via USB, so ODIN is completely out. Thinking I might bring it to Verizon and see what they can do. I've currently got it on JellyWiz RLS13, which is based on the stock TW JB OTA, so hopefully that's close enough that it won't throw any flags for them and they can do some magic or something and reset the IMEI.
Ok, first of all I'm an old veteran at flashing ROMs. Secondly, I know about the SIM card reset, where I restore my phone to factory settings and enter a number in the dialpad (can't remember it, have it written down) to reset your network connection. The thing is, I have a few hours left at work before I'll have time to attempt that, so I wanna explain this issue to the community and see if there's an easier option.
So, to start, I have been running the 01/02 build of Bean Stalk 4.4.2 for a few weeks now with no issue. I'm also on the latest modem, VRUCML1, which I again have been running for a while with no issue.
Today I decided to try out some newer builds, so I made a nandroid and then flashed the new Carbon 4.4 build (01/19). This was when I had my first network issue, where it had me stuck in roaming even though I was in my home. So, thinking the ROM may still have some issues, I switched to a newer build of Bean Stalk (01/17). While I now had mobile data back, I found that my phone was unable to send SMS.
I finally restored my nandroid, yet now I find that this problem is still persisting. I flashed the previous modem, VRBMF1, and the problem still persists.
The weirdest thing, though, is that even though it won't send SMS, my mobile data works fine. I'm able to browse the web at full LTE speeds, but not send SMS.
Edit: After a recent test, it seems phone calls won't work either. So my phone seems to be handling the LTE functions well enough, but is having trouble with the CDMA/EVDO part of the antenna.
Anyone who has any advice, please help. Like I said, I'm inclined to do a SIM reset, but won't be able to until much later tonight.

Go into About Phone -> status check your IMEI and PRL and such are they still there?

My IMEI is there, it was the first thing I checked. I did the whole IMEI backup thing way back in the beginning with this phone.
IMEI wouldn't explain the problem anyway. I still have 2-3 bars of LTE at all times, which I wouldn't have if I didn't have my IMEI. For whatever reason regular phone communications (SMS/Calls) won't go through. Since I know that Verizon still routes those communications through the older CDMA/EVDO network, I'm assuming that's the source of my problem.

Sure just make sure things don't get corrupted, if everything is still in order then you can reset sim, worse case call VZ and they can reset (re-provision) the sim for you. Happened to me twice and VZ solved them in both cases.
The problem i had i couldn't recieved calls. Everything worked fine..
I ended up getting new sim card then the employee dialed *73 then my fone was back in action

yeah I figured that would have to be the answer from the beginning. Have to Odin back to stock first, won't be able to do that for probably another 3-4 hours because of a work meeting that's about to start, so I figured I'd ask around.
If anyone has any other ideas, I'm open to them. Otherwise I'll reprovision tonight and report back.
The data/sms issue isn't odd... sms and calls are on the 1x protocol, data is on the LTE/CDMA/EvDO, so if you can't send sms, you can still use data.
Have you tried flashing one of the stock-based roms and seeing if the issue remains? I've encountered that before where stock is fine, but CM/AOSP roms have a wonky issue and *some* people report after doing so, they can get data/calls working on the custom roms. Unfortunately, my resolution there was to cab (LG device) back to factory image.

Flash back to stock, or a stock based rom with stock messaging. Try to force the message through. My messages stopped sending on aosp messaging and was persistent through rom flashes. I eventually forced it through using touchwiz messaging.

I flashed CM 10.1 (CDMA version) the other day and since then, phone calls haven't really worked. I can make outbound calls, but can't really receive inbound ones. When the calls connect, I can hear everything on the other line, but they can't hear me at all. I managed to reinstall Sprint Zone, and the network test shows Voice fails, and tells me I need to update my profile. The funny thing is, my data network works better than on the stock ROM.
Onto tried solutions:
CM 10.1 doesn't have a menu to update profile or prl, and the methods in the forums and on the web for manually updating PRL are way above my head. Special dialer codes like ##3282# don't work at all. Got off the phone with Sprint Customer Care this morning, and even though the lady was nice, she pretty much told me I'm SOL. If ANYONE has a solution, or at least a temporary fix for making calls, please, for the love of God reply. I'm really freaking new to this and lost all my backups somewhere along the way, so restoring it to pre-flash isn't an option.
EDIT: Finally figured out how and successfully flashed the factory FXZ for 4.1.2. Problem Solved.
You need to do any/all PRL updating before flashing a custom ROM.
Reflash stock, get everything working there - update your PRL, make sure voice works (inbound, outbound etc). Then flash a custom ROM.
Also, I recommend something newer - CM10.1 is really old at this point. CM11 is pretty stable, even the nightlies - although note, they are all built under a unified device name, look for moto_msm8960
