Hello,
I am currently in the middle of no where New Mexico where all the towers are Alltell (sorry if the spelling was incorrect). This is not so much an issue of reception, but an issue of I am apparently unable to activate my phone over these towers.
I upgraded my phone to the newest Eclipse but was never able to activate due to the Alltell issue and was forced to flash back to stock froyo. I sent my phone to verizon (took a week) so they could reactivate it and upgrade it properly to gingerbread and all.
Here is the issue, they returned it reactivated but still on froyo...if I connect to wifi and allow the OTA update will I need to reactivate again? Because I can not and I would be without a phone again for week.
Thank you for any help or suggestions.

If u take an OTA it just upgrades ur system and android version.
U should not have to reactivate again.
U would only have to reactivate if u sbf/data wipe afterwards.
I have taken OTA many times after sbf to froyo and never had to reactivate once I was already activated.
U will most likely have to take two OTAs to get to 2.3.4. If u are on 2.2.2.
the first one will take u to 2.3.3 then reboot (I do it a couple times to make sure system is settled in) then take the next OTA to 2.3.4
There should be no need to reactivate after OTAs.
I am 99.999% certain of this as I have never had to.
I am sure someone else will confirm this for me.

What's Verizon say the reason they didn't put Gingerbread 2.3.4
on your phone? Why they put 6 month old OS on phone I have no
idea.
Anyway I've had 2 OTA update's and have not had to reactivate again.
Hope this Helps
Use the thanks button when someone helps you. (ITS FREE) and Its just nice to see
I dunno
Do to my work, I am unable to leave NM for a while, so I sent the phone to my parents, so that they could bring it to a verizon store.
They told me the associate activated and upgraded it, but obviously the associate lied to my parents who are not tech savy. I absolutely can not stand the morons working in those stores.
Anyways, I really appreciate all the help. Thank you all!
Ed
So I am assuming u went ahead and took the OTAs and they went fine without having to reactivate?
nope
Actually since I am roaming, I need to leave wifi on to update, however, it is not giving me the option to update nor is it prompting me to update...
I give up lol

You mean that when you are connected to wifi and you go to settings>about phone>system update
it doesn't give you an update? That doesn't sound right at all....if u are on wifi it shouldn't matter at all if ur roaming(I would think)....
Hy Ed,
I had a problem getting the last update also just
got it on 11-13-11.What exactly is it saying when you try to
update going to (settings/about phone/system update).
Let us know ok

Check and make sure u don't have "social applications sync wifi only"
apparently that caused problems for someone...was that u img?

Hy buddy, your right about that. I Don't believe that would
effect Ed if like he said he's on wifi. If that setting is checked it
should work but I never tried to update over wifi
wifi update
The "system updates" option under "about phone" is simply greyed out, thus I cant force it to check for an update. This is due to the phone roaming on Alltell. I have no idea how I can get it to look while on wifi. I have access to slow wifi out here and I left it connected all day, but I have yet to receive a prompt to update and it is still running 2.2.2.
Ed
Ed,
I just though of something Verizon ownes Alltel I'am not
sure if you new that.
{In early 2009, Verizon Wireless acquired Alltel, although the Alltel brand will remain until it is gradually phased out through the middle of 2009. Alltel was a large regional CDMA carrier offering service in 33 states, primarily in the south, midwest, and west. In 2005, the company acquired Western Wireless, a smaller carrier that operated under the Cellular One brand with service in 19 western states.}
So I don't know if that's the case is Verizon trying to tell you it's Alltel responsibility.There is no Alltel .
Something is not right system updates is greyed out. I mean I could put phone in airplane mode & it's not grayed out. You are able to make calls and use internet I assume. Are the call connection's good, internet speed ok ?
The setting that ashclepdia and I were talking about go to (settings/Battery & Data manager/Data Delivery/Social applications & make sure Sync over Wi-Fi only is unchecked.
Hope this Helps
If this was helpful, be sure to press the thanks button!
maybe change settings for data roaming to home only and see if u can get it to take update over wifi?
just doesn't seen right thagit wont even let u look for an update..
has to be SOMETHING u can do to get it.

The reason you don't get the option to check for system updates is because you haven't registered/agreed to the moto terms during the activation. I can suggest some things for you to try but I don't want to chance it if your stuck in NM for a while. If some settings are changed/reset you might loose data connectivity until you go back into a vzw area.
Why does it have to be OTA? Why not just grab one from here?

Is it just me or is anyone else unable to roam on verizon towers after the new rom/radio upgrade (3.16/3.27)? I get a recording while roaming "Welcome to Verizon Wireless, We're sorry, we're currently unable to authenticate your phone, Please try your call again. If you continue to experience problems please hang up and dial #8899 from your wireless phone"
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
What PRL do you have?
I never tried making calls but I don't roam on their towers anymore when it comes to data. I just get the triangle and 1x and no web browsers will let me connect to any sites. I kinda just gave up on it since I only needed it in the DC Metro.
I can roam with the new rom. im using prl 60610 and data roaming works as well.
kind of ironic because it didn't work before for me
1X roaming works on Alltel and VZW with 60610 and 3.x ROM here, but EvDO roaming is a no go on Alltel, even though it works fine with 60610 and 2.x ROM.
I guess you are not the only one having the problem. it's a no for me for both prl 60610/60611.
However I am only having the problme at home. I can roam onto vzw at different locations (voice and 1x data) $%^%^&#!$#@!$
People say it may have something to do w/ a-key which is blank on my phone ...

Using PRL 60610. I downgraded my phone back to radio 1.40 and it worked fine but it will not work with the new one. I guess roaming had to be given up for GPS.
Problem Solved. Seems like Sprint's System wanted to do the PRL update themselves for record purposes because after I got the rep to shoot a new prl (60611) roaming worked. I then downgraded to 60610 (best one for me) and viola it stuck. everything is working now.

Ok, so how did you fix this again? Can you give me the current setup of your phone or the steps you took to get to where you are?
Here is what I have done so far:
- Flashed from 2.17/1.47.1 to 3.16/3.27 and got the no Verizon roaming issue you described.
- Figured it was an issue with the new ROM, so I then downgraded back to the stock 2.17/1.47.1 ROM from the HTCAmerica website. (The downgrade wiped all my settings for MDN and MSID) However, the issue persisted.
- I updated the PRL to 60611. Still no luck.
- Called Sprint, who initiated an over the air PRL update of their own to 60611. Still no Verizon roaming. Sprint says they are "investigating" and will get back to me, whatever that means...
The only other thing I can think to do is to downgrade again back to 2.09/1.40.
Also another question, when you view ##778#, does your phone show anything on the "A-Key" page under the "Authentication Key" setting now that you have roaming working? Mine is currently blank, and I have read a couple threads talking about needing to figure it out, but those users all seemed to be Verizon customers. I would be interested to find out if Sprint customers have that setting or not.
This issue is driving me nuts, and any help is greatly appreciated.
Call sprint technical support and tell them you need an "HLR Reload". If they don't know what this is, ask to speak to someone who does.

Wow. Genius! Got Sprint technical support on the phone and asked for the "HLR Reload." The guy knew exactly what I was talking about and was able to do it right away. I am now able make calls and get data while roaming (currently using 2.17/1.47.1).
Thanks again!
glad to know it worked

edit2: whatever reset sprint did at their end seems to work. voice/1x roaming is working now, still no evdo though.
Still wont work for me *sigh*

I called and had them do this, but i had no luck. Still no EVDO roaming in places where there should be. I can make and recieve roaming call and data roam in 1X but evdo is gone. This is on both the 60610 and 60611 PRL. EVDO roaming worked on both PRL's with the 1.47 radio and 2.17 rom.
Any more ideas?
well I thought I didn't have these problems, but now I'm not certain. I don't think I've ever been able to EVDO roam on verizon, at least not sice I started paying attention which was already after moving to a 2.17 with 1.40 radio and orginal PRL. I know verzion has evdo in this area, but sprint doesn't. Maybe there is no agreement here for evdo becuase of that? I guess it couldn't hurt to try this trick and see if I get it.
I found more problems using 3.16. I did encounter the roaming authentication error. So I called, got the HLR reload. That made things MUCH worse. Now nothing works. My MSID and whatnot are all correct and I see signals, but can't make calls or data connections. Sprint tried some things but nothing worked. I'm going to do a hard reset and see what happens.
Sprint was surpisingly willing to work with me knowing that I am using the test rom though... but in the end still suggested I revert to an official rom when nothing worked out.
Anyway, not sure I'd reccomend the HLR reload on the 3.16... try at your own risk.
holy crap
sorry to hear that
if you get it figured out, lemme know what fixed it.
I suspect sprint just hit the wrong button. I hard rest... still no dice, but I noticed that dialing *2 does work.. normal numbers and network don't. Seems like an authentication issue. I doubt seriously it has anything to do with the rom, but I just flash 2.17, casue otherwise I don't hink I'll get far with sprint.
Now when I try to make it call it tells me the phone has not been activated. (with 3.16 I just got the call end dings imeediately)
SO when I fix this and flash back to 3.16, will I dare to try this again after roaming gets broken again?... tough call.
Edit... still need to fix MDN and MSID in the 2.17 .. more soon.
Edit: fixed MDN and MSID in 2.17... now having the same problem as in 3.16... ding ding ding... no call. Looks like I have to call sprint again.
ON the phone with sprint now. Have rebooted for them a couple of times. This guy is still stumped and he doesn't seem generically ignorant.
I started a new thread for my issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1881522#post1881522
You might want to read it before doing any HLR updates in 3.16 though. I'm on my third rom today and a few hours with sprint tech and I still can't make calls.
(EDIT
SOLVED... see above thread. It seems they messed me up badly when they did the HRL reload... however.. it doesn't have to be done badly... at least now we know the fix if it happens to someone else.. so don't let my experience stress you too much. Now to upgrade roms again.
and voice roaming works now..
Roaming not working
ahhh!!! after the upgrade, i cannot roam on vzw...
Called and spoke to several reps... no one knows what HLR Reload is... according to them turning the phone off and taking out the battery for a few minutes will force the HLR reload....
I don't know what to do.... These reps are impossible to deal with.. Anyone have any suggestions?
I just received the following text message from Alltel:
"FREE ALLTEL MSG:
Update your phone May 18:
Dial *228 + SEND, option 1, wait for msg,
turn phone off & on.
Visit alltel.com/systemupdates for more info."
and after doing that my cell signal sucks, on an average i get 1-2 bars.
I was on another forum asking for help, and i was instructed to try an older PRL that didn't help, and i was told to try going to
Go to Start> settings > click on phone >
services tab > select "Network Services" and press "get settings" button
and clicking on "selecting roaming only"
that didn't make the signal any better or were the signal used to be.
I think it has something to do with Verizon and alltel merging.
can anybody think of anything else that might help before i call tech support and see what they can do for me
Thanks Chris
not sure how to help but i didnt get that message and im on altell to. I won't update if it does tell me to
it was an update from alltel..... i only get 1-2 bars about 75% of were ever i go
well this whole thing sucks !....my best buddy usually calls me every night on his way home from work, he hasn't called me all week.........so i called him tonight and asked if he has called me this week.......ya been trying to call you all week and it goes straight to voice mail with out even ringing....
and Ive been waiting back on a job offer, wonder why the company hasn't called me back yet..
im ****ing pissed !
*228 and option 1 is to activate your phone.. try doing it again and if that doesnt work try doing the update ur phones roaming service option. What PRL is your phone running (settings -> system -> device info) mine just updated to 30040 from 30039 what fixed many signal issues at my apartment. you can roll back ur prl also if you wish but you would have to find some one with the previous prl. too bad corolada stopped updating their site http://corolada.com/prl/
anyone want to off load 30039 or upload a copy of the prl file i lost mine - also any one want to offload and uplaod 30040 and i can see what towers they removed
Make the loooooong storie short, after talking to 8 different techs, the 7th sent me out a refurbished phone, telling me that MIGHT fix my signal problem, and if it doesn't we will go from their, well i got the new phone yesterday and lets take bets on how great the problem was fixed..............back on the phone again with advance tech, thier sending somebody to drive thru my neighborhood to check for signal problems, and i will get a call or text from alltel on the solution to the problem.........so wince the 15th of this month till the problem is resolved, tech said 7-10 days, the MOST signal bars Ive had is 3 once....i told him, you ARE going to credit me my account from the 15th to when ever i get satisfactory cell signal, since my parents have be loyal alltel customs for close to 10 years or you can eat from contract !
Ya im in a great mood
well as far as updates on the problem, i had some lady from alltel call me and pretty much ask for the same information that Ive already given, We will be sending somebody out thru your neighborhood to see if their are tower / signal problems and we will get back with you, lady i can save your guy gas money and tell you their is a signal problem !
and what about me not having a signal or at the most 2 bars of service since hte 15 of this month and still having to pay for the signal lose, im not paying for a phone that can only be used as a boat anchor, ummm sir your going to have to take that up with customer service,
ERRRRRR
UPDATED !!!
called tech support to get an update on my claim ticket number, to see whats going on with my problem..............Please just wait, we are working on the problem....ERRRRRRRR
SO everybody that has had signal service since the 15th of this month, suck a nut
just put on a older PRL they usually release a new one 1x a month recently so u might be f-ed for about a month
i tired that after like the 1-2 day and a couple days ago and nothing.....
Thanks for the advice tho

Any ideas? I have a Plain Jane rooted TB that has been stuck in 1X despite (in order):
- rebooting
- pulling battery
- restoring a known good saved ROM from ROM Manager
- toggling enable on RevA
- installing jcase's rooted 1.70.605 OTA and MR2 radio
- factory reset
I am in midtown Manhattan. I should have stellar 3G/4G. Is there anything left to do but return the phone to VZ?

You should check your settings and see if your mobile network is on(obvious answer and I feel like you have probably done that). Make sure you dont have any apps that are turning it off i.e. juicedefender or any other apps that control your mobile network. It could be the ROM you are using so try and use your stock ROM and see if you get 3G/4G in that. Make sure your SIM card is in properly. I do not know if that will be an issue but it could help. Also along with ROMs make sure the ROM you are using is friendly with the radio you are using. I can not think of much else. Google it too and search this forum or others that might help too! Good luck.
The simplest and most obvious possibility that still has to be asked: Do you have the back cover on the phone?

I had the same problem you did. I used Bamf 3.0 and flash the newest leak radio. My phone all of the sudden the next day dropped 3G. I went into the VZ store today and told them my sim card died and they gave me a new one. It working now, so I said unroot your phone like I did and get a new sim card. Make sure you update to their newest software before going into the store.
Seem like alot of people on the forum are saying they are not getting 3G/4G lately after the new radio that was out. I got my radio the day it was leak.

Thanks. But I had my problem before I flashed the new radio. I've been using the original plain jane root from back in March. It worked two nights ago, was stuck in 1X the next morning.
Since I now have the new OTA stock is there an easy way to get it out of root or should I just follow the sticky instructions and go all the way back to original ROM?
Instead of taking it in you could also just give them(verizon) a call. I know they can see if your phone is rooted from there and many verizon workers have theirs rooted and might be able to help you!
Yeah mine worked 2 days ago too but yesterday it died I was using bamf for a while now. I flashed the radio before that too, all of the sudden it just dropped. The guy at VZ store told me that never happened before that a sim card just die like that.

Thanks, but I spoke to VZ last night. The rep was nice and all but said the factory reset should fix the problem (it didn't) He said the next step would be to replace the phone. I might call again tonight to see if I can bump up the tech support ladder to someone more knowledgeable. Still hoping someone here could help me out.
Like I said, I had the original plain jane root that everyone did back in March when the phone came out. No reason for it to suddenly get stuck in 1X the other day.
Ive had that problem twice now. The first time my 4g antenna stopped working for whatever reason. I replaced the battery cover and it worked again for a few days. When it stopped again I called verizon and they sent me a new phone which is probably what youre gonna have to do.
So... VZ is next-day mailing me a new phone. I wanted to exchange it in the city but they said once you have the phone for more than 14 days exchanges have to be done by mail. Still, I'd love to know why the phone died.
I recently called sprint via line2 on wifi about how I no longer get Verizon roaming (I make a phone call and a verizon message pops up saying can't auth code) when in northern Pennsylvania but I used to before I got s-off and flashed gbsense deck rom .2 I called sprint they blamed my phone but I flashed rooted latest update to my moms Evo shift she's having the same problem any ideas guys(and girls)?
I'm kind of confused but it sounds like you want to roam on a Verizon tower and now that you can't you cannot make any calls? As for the Sprint rep don't worry about it unless your talking to advanced tech support they really don't know what their talking about and usually just don't have the correct answer. It sounds like when you were on deck's sense rom you got better coverage maybe because the rom had an updated radio and your stock rom had an outdated radio...not sure, have you tried flashing the latest radio to your phone? Also try a data profile update followed by a PRL update on your phone when inside your home and see if that helps your signal.

the solution is to have adv tech support reprogram your phone...
I don't want to reprogram or turn my phone in so my mom is ditching root and giving it in
Reprogramming your phone takes just a few minutes your don't have to turn your phone in

LOL just call sprint and tell them you are getting error code 16 when you try to dial out which in turn they will re-provision your phone takes all of 2 mins.
Sorry im kinda noob at this whole thing thank you so much for not being a bunch of a holes about this cause my mom wouldn't stop bothering me about not getting service you guys were SO much help thank you ffor you're time everybody (im also new to the forums)
I had the exact same issue a couple of days after rooting. As previous poster said just call sprint and tell them your getting error 16. Re provision does the trick.
yep had the same problem after s-off....just call and ask to have your phone reset on the network.
after a battery pull you will get roaming again.
I was flashed to ROCKO unlocked, and decided that I want to update my sprint stuff cause I wasn't able to on any custom stock ROM, it would stay on "Contacting Network" when I would try to update. So I SBF'd to 198_7 and unlocked again, and I am still not able to update my data profile or prl, still the "Contacting Network". My phone is activate, it just can't update profile/prl.
If I recall correctly, you have to have sprint push the profile update to you. I've read that people, who do stuff like switch roms get flagged in every their system. I think it was something asking the lines of security precaution. I'm pretty sure once you call, they can get your profile updated, then you should be able to update your prl.

^This exactly. Give sprint a ring. If thats still a no go try letting it activate and update through the Sprint Zone activation and updater app.
Thanks guys.
Would I have to lie and tell them that I never root or unlocked the bootloader/flashed other ROMS?
I've looked everwhere in Sprint Zone, and can't find the updater.
I personally have just told them that I was doing an OTA update and it had an issue or something along those lines lol they wont question too much, or atleast never have for me
IDK, I have trouble lying when it doesn't make sense lol. Could I mention that I'm trying to develops apps and need certain permissions etc. ?

I believe 198_7 is the latest official one.

I was flashed to ROCKO unlocked, and decided that I want to update my sprint stuff cause I wasn't able to on any custom stock ROM, it would stay on "Contacting Network" when I would try to update. So I SBF'd to 198_7 and unlocked again, and I am still not able to update my data profile or prl, still the "Contacting Network". My phone is activate, it just can't update profile/prl.

It's activated(able to make calls, 3g, etc). It's either flagged like a previous poster has mentioned, or something about PDS partition, from doing all the SBF'ing flashing different roms etc.

Similar Problem Updating Profile/PRL
I am unrooted and for some reason when I go into the Sprint Zone App it tells me there is a Profile and PRL update but if I choose either it gets stuck in "Contacting Network" and all I can do is reboot.
I spoke to Sprint and they made me out an "eTicket" to take to the nearest Sprint "repair" store but I am without wheels at the moment and kinda hoping someone might know whats going on.
The lady I spoke to said that these was a problem with the nearest tower to me, that it was operating at 3/4 efficiency, and that may be why I can't get my phone to update? Has anyone been told this before and is this something that could be the problem or is it just BS?
She said that most likely I would get a replacement when I could take my phone to the Sprint store.
Someone had a similer problem in another thread and a got a reply from someone asking what their H/W version number was. On my phone under H/W version it says unavailable.
Why would that happen and if I could somehow fix that might that be the ultimate fix to my issue?
Any help would be great...This is really the only problem I'm having. I really like this phone. It is a beast. Being in a 4g area is pretty awesome and being able to get constant 8-10 Mb (outside) is worth every penny. In my house during daytime hours I can only get 2-3 Mb but thats pretty damn cool.
If the camera was just a little bit better at taking low-light pics, this might be one of those "near perfect" phones in my opinion.
By the way, everyone that contributes here is awesome. I love this community and all of XDA.
Thanks
