CM11 is great, but the libraries it's got appears to be heavily targeted toward CDMA mode and less so GSM. If you're a traveler or want to use your device with AT&T/T-Mobile, you'll want to install this patch which loads the AT&T ril onto your device. Without it, I couldn't receive any incoming calls and calls I placed couldn't be hung up (I would be stuck at the "hanging up" screen).
This patch is just two files (libril-qc-qmi-1.so and libril.so) pulled from the AT&T version (jflteatt) of CM11 (specifically, this version: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/53825/cm-11-20140104-SNAPSHOT-M2-jflteatt.zip).
I'm overseas right now, so I'm only able to test GSM mode, but it's working just fine for me now. If it's not enough for you, you might want to try the two other changes suggested here: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-2362
To summarize, they are:
Set telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0 in /system/build.prop
loki_flash the jflteatt CWM with jfltevzw aboot - see here. Note that this is specific to MDK, so don't do this if you're on any other bootloader. Let me know if you want me to create a flashable version of this possible fix.
I didn't need to do either of these things to get it working for me, but you may need to do the first item if you want LTE (I'm currently in a country without LTE, so I can't test).

I see above that the flashable zip files were removed due to being broken. Are the ones attached good now? Also, these are AT&T files so will they work the same way with T-Mobile service since its fixing the issue with GSM and is not carrier specific?
If so, I'll give it a shot tonight. Thanks!

No. Attached files are no-good; I've now removed them. I made a mistake in building the packages that'll likely brick your phone. I quickly removed the links while trying to fix my own device but forgot to remove the attachments. I'll repost when it's working properly.

I just tried the fix in the CM thread - stuck in a segfault loop
Now that I've unbricked myself, I've updated the zip packages and they should be usable now.
Lesson learned: mount partitions by name whenever possible! I'm lucky I didn't blow away anything that I couldn't recover from. I was just unlucky that it was a partition not normally included in odin reset tars.

So to recap how this is done, please correct me or agree.
If someone was installing CM 11 for the first time, they would:
1) Download the CM rom.
2) Download the GAPPS they prefer.
3) Download your 2 zip files for GSM ril provided in this thread.
4) Flash into recovery (assuming they had a custom recovery in place already)
5) Wipe data/cache/dalvik
6) Flash ROM, Gapps, and the 2 GSM ril zips you provided. (I prefer to flash Gapps after the first boot)
7) Reboot and watch it boot up.
8) Calls should work (assuming the correct apn settings are in place)
Agree?

Almost!
(2) is optional and can be done later. There's no dependency here.
For (3), you only need the GSM flash package. The cdma package is provided if you want to revert.
For (4), a custom recovery is a given, since CM can't be flashed on the vzw s4 without it
For (6), flash only the GSM package.
For (8), calls should work even if APN settings are broken.
The two things to test for is:
1. After you've placed a call and are connected to the other party (i.e. the call timer starts ticking), you can successfully hang up.
2. You can receive an incoming call.
And to answer the carrier specificity question -- I'm testing this with Taiwan Mobile, so it's most definitely not carrier specific.
I guess this would have to be re-flashed after each nightly update that is applied?

I haven't worked with nightlies, but I suspect the answer is yes since nightlies are full images and not deltas.

I just tested with a fresh install of the 2/5 nightly. I wanna have your baby. Works perfectly, thank you!
It worked!
You have solved a problem that so many people were having. It works!!! Thank you for contributing. Now I'm going to spend time manually packaging a ROM with this and the apps and features I want.
Thank you!!!
Thank you. I'm using my Verizon s4 on T-Mobile and you saved me the trouble of doing this manually every time

With the latest comment on the linked Jira thread (and a correct APN), I think that I have an AT&T SIM working in my Verizon S4 without this mod. Does anyone else have this experience? (I should note that I flashed the GSM zip from OP three days ago, but I have since wiped, installed Hyperdrive ROM, wiped again, and reinstalled CM11 without flashing the GSM zip.)

To clarify, here's what I did:
1. Wipe data and cache.
2. Install latest CM11 nightly and gapps.
3. Boot and confirm that everything is working.
4. Add the letter "U" to the build.prop line that said "ro.telephony.ril.v3=newDriverCall" by default.
5. Reboot and confirm that Verizon LTE still works.
6. Power off, insert AT&T SIM, power on.
7. Choose LTE/WCDMA/GSM in Mobile Network settings and select a working APN.
8. Get H or H+ icon in signal bars and use speed test to confirm the blazing fast 0.10M down, 0.13M up.
9. Place call to my Verizon number, check voicemail, and hang up normally (I didn't get stuck at "hanging up").
10. Place test call from Skype to AT&T number, pick it up on the S4, and hang up from the S4 normally.
Thanks!

Are you running CM11 nightly or the snapshot?
FWIW, I tried "ro.telephony.ril.v3=newDriverCallU,newDialCode" from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50036251&postcount=1591 and it caused a segfault loop on bootup.
Given all the issues getting CM11 working well, I'm probably going back to stock MDK 4.2.2; it's still less bug-prone than CM11 is
I'm using the CM11 nightly. I didn't add the part after the comma to the build.prop line.
I am very grateful for this! I searched and searched for days for a way to fix my dialer not letting me hang up a call after switching to Straight Talk AT&T. Now if I could only figure out how to get 4g LTE instead of just H+, I would do backflips! I appreciate your post immensely!

Hi,
First post on XDA so bare with me on this.
Have flashed my TELUS Note 717D with a few different ROM's over the last few days. With the news that Sammy will be pushing out official ICS in the next week or so I am trying to get my Note A$S back to stock including the correct radio file.
This is where I have come unstuck. I have all the correct files but for some reason I can't get my LTE back. Yes it was working prior to my loading new ROM's and also after I went testing. Had the soft bricking issue yesterday & managed to get that resolved but since then no LTE nada.
Loaded the full TELUS recovery (found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585440 ) and then the TELUS kernel.
Still no LTE. I have the GB & ICS radio files & now can’t get the recover to load any zip files as I get a error at the first screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mike
I went thru this yesterday... i
I flashed the ATT stock rom/system from these boards, then downloaded the three part Telus file..when assembled its about 1 Gb...
After flashing ATT, I cleared dalvik, flashed the Telus stock.. Then i did a factory reset, and i was back.
I'm still running a non stock modem file.. But all is functioning.

Can you confiem that you have LTE? do you have the isp.telus.com apn too?

still having issues
I can flash the AT&T ROM with no problems using odin. when I reboot into recovery I am getting a error that wont allow me to use the power button and select the reset option.
The power button works because I can press and hold to reboot the phone but the white triangle with ! mark is in the moddle of the screen. With out that I am unable to do the resetting & clearing of the cache.
Any thoughts?

Yeah.. Unfortunately my skillset definitely into the "knows just enough to be dangerous" category..
What 'recovery' is currently in the phone? Stock recovery? A CWM type recovery? I ask because I had an issue once previously where the power button wouldn't let me select items.. but I was able to use one of the four soft buttons on the bottom front of the phone to execute the same command. Once it was the 'home' button.. on my current recovery software it's the search button oddly enough.
What happens when, from the phone dialpad after a normal boot, you key : *#2263# ?
Do you get the Band preference menu?
What's selected? What happens if you pick 4 (LTE) and then 7 (LTE ALL) ?
And have you done a factory reset on the phone after any of these flashes? (I didn't see where you had so I askl)
Lastly -- in the SETTINGS / WIRELESS & NETWORK / MOBILE NETWORKS menu.. do you have "NETWORK MODE" menu item that the stock Canadian i717 device has the AT&T device does not?
I'll add here as a postscript.. it may not matter ... if the update includes an updated radio file.. all this worrying over it may not much matter once the update comes?
knoxster said:

I have CWM v5.5.0.4 installed which works but wont let me installed the radio file. Bombs out with errors.
When I flash the TELUS stock GB Kernel, I get the standard recovery which wont even let me see the radio file.
What happens when, from the phone dialpad after a normal boot, you key : *#2263# ?
I thought this was a At&t thing only? But that said I did try to the number and got a recorded annc saying that is was not a valid number.
Do you get the Band preference menu?
Yes I have the correct options and its set to use all the HSPA types & LTE too.
And have you done a factory reset on the phone after any of these flashes? (I didn't see where you had so I askl)
Yes I did the reset to factory in CWM after the At&t ROM flash and after I loaded the TELUS ROM too. I did had to load a different kernel to allow the CWM recovery but then installed the TELUS stock kernel after.
I'll add here as a postscript.. it may not matter ... if the update includes an updated radio file.. all this worrying over it may not much matter once the update comes?

Well, I have the same CWM .. I can't flash any of the supposedly flashable CWM modem files.. errors out part way thru. Weird.
I'm uploading my Telus Stock image that I used to Google drive.. I'll pm you the link once its up.
Sent you the links.
Also -- I managed to get the Bell Radio CWM file loaded on my Telus device from the thread located in this forum. (STOCK BELL thread)
There is now a Rogers stock thread and hopefully they'll have a Telus thread that will have a modem file that loads as well as the Bell one did. I can't imagine the differences are that great.

Huge thanks for your help here. Flashing the BELL LTE radio file has now enabled the LTE in my telus note.

Yay!... See? Occasionally the blond leading the blind .. something good can come from it!
Plus I managed to get my modem back to stock as well .. I was using that T769 modem that was tweaked for Note use.. and all the Telus CWM modem files I would try to flash in ...just errored out.
I talk to Rogers and apparently there's the 401 sim that's not lte capable. They told me to go back to the store to get the 403 sim with lte capable, maybe that should help fix the problem. I'll give an update tmr once I get the new sim.
Does anyone know where I can find the Rogers radio or modem file? I found the radio but it says installation aborted when I try to flash CWM. I flash the Rogers modem file and the log shows me a installation success but it's i717M which is Bell, not Rogers. Can anyone give me a proper Rogers working link? also, apparently Radio and Modem is the same thing, it's just people playing with words, or I'm I getting it wrong? Thank you.

Upgrading to CM12 Lollipop
Hi, I'm trying to upgrade to Lollipop from this ROM and at first while flashing the CM12 zip i encountered the error "This zip is intended for gee, geeb" etc. So, I tweaked the updater-script and removed the assert and ran the script which installed the ROM but I'm unable to install the Google Apps. I tried with all gapps packages (minimal, micro, full), but none of them works. Can you please help me out?
Does this have anything to do with build.prop? Even though I flashed the fix to show as ATT e970, the CM12 updater-script identified this device as "geehrc4g"??Also, build.prop has some lines like
ro.com.google.cliendidbase.am=android-kt-kr

Do you know where can I find the exact build.prop for e970 (Kitkat)?

Hi, just wondering how everything functions on the e971 with this rom? Flashing roms is new to me and am so bummed to finally receive word from Rogers there will be no official update for this device which is in my opinion unacceptable buying a flagship device and getting only 1 update for it 6 months later when the phone manufacturer has updated it, I'm done with them, anyways some help would be appreciated as I need my phone to function properly, I am on official JB 4.1.2 from Rogers, I have unlocked the device to be used with any carrier, now I am planning on rooting using the zv9-zvb universal root method, i was then planning on unlocking bootloader using freegee and then using freegee to install cwm phils touch and then gonna install this rom, anyways are those the propper steps and if I so will all functions of my e971 work as they should with this rom?
Also if i need to go back will it be as easy as downloading paulicats rogers 4.1.2 zip and using cwm to install it and revert back? Any help would be greatly appreciated and if your ever in my neck a the woods I'll buy ya a beer. Thanks.
Working fine for me
This is my first android device so I was attempting this for the first time, I was on Stock JB. First I Rooted the phone(universal root kit), unlocked its boot loader(app from playstore), was taken to cwm, tried to flash the ROM it didn't work a status 7 error occurred, then I flashed philz recovery, flashed the ROM again and its working fine.
I am new to this android world so this may sound noob but is there a way to backup my apps only so that I don't have to re install them every time I flash a new ROM. (Will be trying a lot of roms from now).

I tried it by installing zip via cwm recovery but it says error in zip.
Flawless Installation
I just installed this ROM on my LG Optimus G E971 and the entire installation was simple and flawless. Prior to this ROM, I had [ROM][5.1.1] [GEEB] [Mako base] Unofficial CM-12.1 which is a great ROM too, however, I wanted to try something that was based on stock. I have the latest version of CWM for LG Optimus G E971.
This is how I installed the following ROM:
1. Downloaded the ROM onto my phone
2. Booted into CWM recovery
3. Wiped data/factory reset
4. Wiped cache Partition
5. Installed ROM
6. Rebooted
Once I have used this ROM as my daily driver for a while, I will get back and share my opinion and thoughts about it.
I stumbled on to this rom and I must say it is very good. There are only two issues I am having that hopefully someone can help me out with. The first issue is an annoying data network setting prompt that happens when I boot up which tells me that I will incur additional data charges. There is a setting under mobile networks that is checked called "ask when data connected" Whenever I try to uncheck it it reverts back to being checked. The second is under access point names. There are two other apn there that I cannot delete for some reason. Does anyone have any ideas how I can resolve these issues?

I am in NO WAY affiliated with any of the ROM developers mentioned below nor am I a developer at all. I discovered this by trial and error and decided to share with the community. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU BRICKING YOUR DEVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything mentioned worked for me and me alone. I will NOT guarantee it will work for you. I cannot offer any support concerning why it will not work for you and NEITHER DOES THE DEVS AND THEIR VZW ROMs!!!! SO DO NOT CLOG THEIR THREADS WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THEIR ROM WON'T WORK WITH YOUR SPRINT NOTE 3!!!!!
THIS IS FOR 4.4.X ONLY!!! I am currently on NC5 baseband so I have no idea if it will work with NH7. It should, but again, I can only speak for me and my setup. SMS, MMS (with 3rd party app to send possibly) and GPS all work for me. Calls are working as well.
EDIT: Ok folks, I have decided to go ahead and post the how to anyway even though I have gotten no response from any of the devs of the Verizon ROMs mentioned below. I assume they are working on new projects and do not have time to mess with this discovery. They also do this for free and have lives to live just like the rest of us. If at any time they want me to remove this I will, purely out of respect for what they have done for all of us. With that in mind, THE DEVS HAVE NO TIME TO SUPPORT THIS SO PLEASE DO NOT CLOG UP THEIR THREADS WITH QUESTIONS RELATED TO THEIR VZW ROMS WORKING ON SPRINT DEVICES!

I am currently using the latest Philz Recovery so I cannot say for sure if using TWRP will cause this not to work on your device. I don't think it will matter, but to be safe I can only speak for Philz Recovery right now.
If you are on TWRP and want to switch to Philz (many have suggested doing so regardless if you try this or not) keep in mind Philz is not being updated now ( I think ) so the latest build for KitKat is 6.12.9 as far as I know and can be found HERE for the N900P. If you don't know how to change recoveries you probably shouldn't be trying this at all. Research it and you will find out how to do it. Or ask around. You will also need to use a 3rd party MMS app possibly to send MMS messages. On Eclipse it seems to work using the stock Messenger, but on Alliance I had to use Textra to send MMS.
Step 1: BACK UP YOUR CURRENT SETUP!!!! I cannot stress how important this is with ANY ROM flashing or file changing. I have been caught with my pants down before and it really sucks when you have to Odin back to stock because you did not do a Nandroid backup. That is the main purpose of having a custom recovery like Philz or TWRP or CWM is to completely back up your device. Most or all offer EFS backups as well. Also keep a copy of said backup on an external device in case you accidentally wipe your EXT card. Don't think it's not possible, I have done it on other devices because I thought I was cool and could wipe real fast and flash.
Step 2: Acquire the stock kernel for your build/baseband ( Mine is NC5 ) in a flashable .zip. The NCS stock kernel can be found HERE OR you can use Lean Kernel 3.10 ( which I am using) that can be found HERE. MAKE SURE YOU GRAB THE HTLESPR version!!!
Step 3: Download the Verizon Touchwiz ROM of your choice. I have successfully tested this on Eclipse and Alliance. Eclipse can be found HERE Make sure you use the correct build ( 4.4.X ) because it needs to match your baseband. In other words, if you are currently on 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 use the same ROM build that they offer. Eclipse 2.0.1 is what I am using. Alliance ROM is HERE Those are the only 2 I have tried thus far. Experiment if you dare, but the others should work as well ( in theory).
Step 4: Grab the flashable app APN Backup and Restore provided HERE THANKS TO FREEZA!!!! You will need this to get the Sprint APNs on your device. More on how do do this later.
Step 5: Take a deep breath. While still on your Sprint ROM, update your PRL and Profile for good measure because those options will not be in settings on the VZW ROMs. Relax, it will be ok.
Step 6: Boot into recovery, do a full wipe like you would any other time flashing a new ROM. Flash the ROM of choice, then flash the Sprint kernel of choice. If you do not get any errors, reboot system and wait...........and wait some more. It will take a few min for either ROM to boot. If you see the Eclipse or Alliance splash screen (boot animation) you are probably ok. Do not panic at the 3 min mark and shut down. Just let it do it's thing. You should eventually see the beginning setup screen. If after 8-10 min you still are seeing the animation it probably is in a bootloop. It may not work but you can simply power down and boot back into recovery and restore your backup, or try again flashing the kernel first, then ROM, then kernel again then boot into system and wait again. Just use some patience.
Step 7: If you made it to this step, congrats, you have booted a VZW ROM onto your Sprint Note 3. But we have more to do. After you set up wifi and gone through the setup menu you may see some Verizon related errors pop up. Just ignore them for now. Those apps can be frozen using TiBu after completely done as a cleanup measure. Boot back into recovery ( On Eclipse you will have to do this using vol up/home/power buttons because there is no 4 way reboot menu. This can be added with Xposed and Wanam later as well). Flash the APN Backup and Restore app ( this could also be done when you flashed the ROM I suppose) and reboot. which will put the APN backup & restore app into your /system/app directory and the SprintAPNxXML file onto your sdcard. Once done installing, boot back up and launch the application, Ignore the warning screen you get from first launch, then press menu and select "Disable ICS check." Once done, exit the app and load it again, then choose "Delete APNs" and select yes to the following prompt. Once done, go ahead and tap Restore APNs, and select the SprintAPNsXML from the prompt and select no to the duplicate check. IF THIS DOES NOT WORK THE FIRST TIME- Move the app from /system/app directory to /system/priv-app/ directory and change permissions to rwx/rwx/rwx and reboot. Then try to Delete APN, then try to Add APNs using the provided SprintAPNxXML file in the app. This will add Sprint APNs.
Step 8: Go into settings/more settings/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names and choose the appropriate one for your area. I chose APN2 LTE Internet n.ispsn. You should now have data icon showing. This worked for me, hopefully it worked for you. I have seen it switch between LTE and 3G so I know it is handing off correctly. Make sure Network Mode is CDMA/LTE/EVDO as well. I haven't tested on the road yet, but will tonight. But it has been working flawlessly for me on local towers.
Step 9: You will need to add Sprint apps you were using, including voicemail. Install Titanium Backup and freeze Verizon related apps if you want. Also you will notice in settings your phone will show to be a N900V instead of N900P due to the Verizon ROM. Don't panic.
Step 10: Profit! At this point you should be able to tinker with the ROMs according to what the threads offer. I know Eclipse has it's own app to customize some things. But Xposed will work as well. I have no idea if Hotspot works or any of that stuff, I do not use it. Alliance has a ton of customization settings and apps built in, including themes. Some minor tweaks haven't worked, but most have. Eclipse has actual AOSP functionality baked in. ENJOY!! I will try to answer as many questions as i can, but again, please DO NOT clog up the threads of those great ROMs with questions, the devs do not, as far as I know, support this method and will not be able to help you with your Sprint device.
EDIT: When you connect to your PC via USB for the first time you may have to toggle MTP on and off to get it to be recognized in Explorer. It will most likely say N900V when you get connected. Also on Alliance a couple of Verizon apps will try to install on your PC. You can cancel them.

MUCH THANKS!!!
Sprint side: Freeza for the APN Backup and Restore app as well as all you have done for the Sprint Note 3!! LMMT for the NC5 kernel thread! Phil3759 for Philz Recovery for the N900P
Verizon Side: Nitroglycerine33 for all he has done for the community. My first attempt at flashing was an Eclipse ROM. Cannot say enough about what he has done! Beanstown106 for the hard work on all the Verizon devices and now along with Team Alliance they continue to dominate!
Multiple Devices: Imoseyon for his great Lean Kernels!! I have run them on every device so far. They just get better and better.
All the devs on all the devices deserve a huge thanks from all of us! Without them none of this would be possible!!
this would be cool to know, and give us more choices at ROM flashing time
Is it me or is XDA running real slow today?? Even on Tapatalk.
Anyway, so far I have SMS, MMS and GPS working smooth. Really was simple. No need to decompile or change the ROM itself. As long as the bootloaders match (4.4.2 to 4.4.2 etc) it works. Thanks to an earlier post by Freeza dealing with APN restore everything works thus far. Really hope Nitro gives me the go ahead to create a thread or at least post a how to with links to his site. If you want real AOSP feel on a TW ROM, Eclipse is the way to go. I ran this all the time on my VZW Note 3.
Also will be trying the same with a couple of other VZW ROMs I once loved as well. Stay tuned. :good:
Looks like I will have to post the How To here anyway so I am testing another VZW ROM now (Alliance) and if all goes well I will add the directions to this thread in the OP.
All the way to Chicago and back with no data issues. Have a hard time believing nobody knew we could do this.

I had no clue! I knew the devices were very similar but figured if it were possible to use VZW ROMs across devices, I'd have started months ago! Thanks for the How To, I'll be giving it a shot this evening. Cheers! :beer:

Vzw lte b4 on/off
are you able to get new LTE Bands (4 ,13) so that n900p can operate on verizon network on MVNO?
or are you able to VZW LTE B4 ON/OFF to enable band 4 on?
This sounds awesome! Thank you for posting! I will have to try this out this weekend.
Latest one I tried was vn Rom 7.2 and Norma beta 6 both good.
Sorry these 2 are not Verizon but are for 9005 and they do work.
Anyone flash T-Mobile roms on this phone?

Ive flashed this rom selecting the tmobile version in aroma runs with no problems just no data and messaging
I have just recently tried to install the official cm11 images for my g3. They worked fine. Then, when I installed gel x-posed settings and activated it, I would get said error. It would pop up again and again. This would lead me to reflash my ROM. Then, I do not know what happened, when I would flash a ROM, I would get the error from the start. I eventually fixed this error. But then, when I tried to upgrade the nightly, I got the error again. So I flashed the ROM again, and let it sit. After a little while of perfection, the error came back up!
Here's what I have tried:
-reflashing the boot.IMG (unzipped)
-clearing cache (recovery)
-clearing Sim tool cache/data (said they were non existent when trying)
-reflashing stock, then reflashing cm11
I really want cm11 on my g3, but with these issues, I don't know whether I can now.
Any help would be appreciated!

CM Nightlies are working perfect for me with no errors. Here is the process I went through:
I am still using TWRP 2.8.0 which is the version I installed when I originally Bumped! my phone.
I downloaded CM and Gapps to root of my internal SD storage
I chose to Wipe in TWRP
I chose Advance Wipe
I picked every option except for Internal Storage and External SD Card/Storage
I then Wiped
Out of habit, I do this 3 times (don't ask why, I just do it from when I had older android devices)
I then go back to wipe main screen and slide to do the standard wipe, 3 times
Yes, this is probably overkill!
I then go to install in TWRP
I install CM, then I install gapps (using the gapps that are on this list: https://itvends.com/gapps/
Yes, the date of those gapps are a little older, but that is what worked for me per OP'S instructions
I went through setup of my phone, fixing APN, Setting WIFI to USA, signing into Google after first loading into Rom instead of signing into Google on first bootup. Did a reboot
Installed Xposed, and the modules needed, reboot
I never received any error
I have done 3 nightly updates so far, as of 11/30. I am sure 12/1 will be ready in an hour or so.
I always click on about phone, download said update and let the process do its thing automatically, walk away and the phone is ready to use
Still no errors whatsoever. In fact, this has been the first version of AOSP I have used for the G3 with 0 errors. It is perfect, for me - No issues.
Hope that helps.

I did everything exactly as you did, including the 3 wipes, also out of habit. I too however, get the same error with the latest nightly. It starts popping up as I try to add my Gmail account at the initial setup. Previously, the 'unofficial' builds did not do this to me. This is the only rom that does this, I have tried them all out. I have yet to try to flash a different gapps package to see if that makes a difference. Apparently I dont get the data issues with cm12, but get phone issues with cm11.
I'm a bit relieved to see I'm not the only one having this problem. Been updating every night to see if maybe it's fixed, but I still get the same error. Didn't happen on the first nightly I flashed, though. It lol seems to be happening at random for me. Sometimes I'll set my phone down for a couple hours, working perfectly fine. Then I pick it up to check something and I suddenly start getting that error. I've tried every "solution" I find and none of them work for me. Even thought it was an issue with reading my sim card because when I get the error, it shows that my sim card isn't being read. But I still get it when I take it out. A normal factory reset doesn't fix it either. I have to do a complete data format to remove the error.
I found a quick little fix where i make a backup earlier in the day and just restore it whenever I start getting the error, but it's still very annoying.
Same issue
Hey bros,
Same thing here. It's a baseband radio issue. Notice in settings under About Phone it says 'Baseband Version: Unknown'. Either TWRP is flashing over our baseband (not likely, calls and texts can be made before the error message attacks come), or CM11 has some issue on certain builds with reading our SIM cards. I think having an official 10B or 11C flashable baseband radio to install at the time of the ROM install will fix this problem. Waiting on CM to patch the code will take too long. Let me know if you find one of these basebands or can find out how to extract it (from file manager or somewhere?) as I have not been able to find this info on XDA or anywhere.
EDIT: I FIXED IT
I'm a new member, and XDA won't allow me to post links..... look in the OP for JasmineROM (all credit to author for posting this 11C modem and fabulous stock LG debloated ROM) under downloads, you'll find the 11C modem. Download it.
1. Place 11C modem.zip on external or internal, whichever you want. I prefer external.
In TWRP:
2. Backup, unless youre livin' life on the edge.
3. Wipe it all except for external (or internal, if you prefer to flash from your internal storage)
4. Add to Install zip que in order:
a) latest CM11 nightly
b) 11C modem found in JasmineROM OP of main thread
c) GAPPs of your choice (I like nano PA GAPPs, and just install whatever else i want after)
5. FLASH
6. profit
7. PHAP
I have heard the 10B radio works great too. holler back and post results between the 2 stock radios for VS985.
Please hit thanks, as I am new and want to be helpful, where possible. Please share this so others know that we can overcome this nonsense.
CM11!!! Phappin' so hard right now!
Got it again.... totally blowed right now. maybe reconfig APN to match VZW and it will work?
Thanks for all the responses, it currently seems that the problem is cm11. I will probably wait for a stable build. For now, I'm using an unofficial cm12 ROM. Thanks for all the help!

Are you using that PA GAPPs package that's in alpha? I think i'm going to give up and go to 12 too... I do know that the first official nightly of CM11 doesn't give me any errors, but Trebuchet is so buggy it won't take widgets. Had to download Nova
It makes me cry. My phone lasted through the night. Woke up at around 7 and it was fine. Went back to sleep and woke up at around 8:30 and I was crushed to see the problem happening again. There doesn't seem to actually be anything thy triggers it. :/
Yeah I think I'm gonna just try out cm12 and see how that goes.
Double check to make sure the phone isn't running in art. That fixed my problems! Xposed and art do not work together!![emoji2]
Im getting the same error on my phone usually a few says after using any of the nightlies. When i go to make a phone call it gives me the force close and doesnt stop. Ive since moved back to stock hoping someone had more info on the issue. My phone was not using Art but I did have xposed installed.
This is an unlock phone use on T-mobile network. This is what I did, and hoping someone give me some advise what is wrong.
Phone is on original JB rom:
1 Rooted the phone
2. install freegee and install the twrp
3. Boot into recovery mode and update to twrp 2.8.1
4. Boot into recovery mode again Wipe data, advance wipe: cache, davik cache, system
5. Install CM12 zip and gapp zip
6. Reboot the phone
My phone boot to new CM custom rom OK: showing LTE connected to tmobile network. Everything is working EXCEPT calling and receiving call (there is no air or audio when pick up call or calling out)
I have try the whole procedure 3 different times even re download all files but no luck at all.
My question is did I do something wrong or do I need some other files in order to get it working.
Please advise!!!!
Tks
You did not list that you performed a backup of your stock ROM with TWRP before flashing CM 12 (or that everything worked fine on it). You need to restore your EFS data from your stock ROM after flashing the custom ROM.
Without your EFS data your phone does not have critical info to operate.

I can flash the phone back to original JB without any problem. My question is after flashed the CM 12 I have no audio on both ends for incoming and out going call. I still can text using data ... except calling.
Any idea? Do I need to flash some extra special file along with the rom zip file to get it working?
TIA
IF you have restored your EFS from the TWRP backup of your stock ROM after installing CM 12 and have the problem after completing that, which your reply does not indicate, I would suggest flashing a modem file separately though it is redundant.
A couple of variants can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45602845&postcount=4 . The first and last are likely stock modem files. Not my post and cannot vouch for linked files but they appear okay.

That sounds like an issue with your APN not your modem.
See if it matches what your carrier recommends for your area. If it does try something else. Remember to save changes you make as you exit the APN configuration settings.
