I flashed my phone to a newer version of CM 12.1 that I found here:
http://android.cmphys.com/cyanogenmod-fireball/
it was an attempt to fix an issue with my data network. This build included a patch for the Fireball Radio. A few hours after the flash, I tried making a call. I have a signal but the phone says "Cellular network not available". I've restored a backup of the previous ROM, wiped cache and reseated the SIM. Still having the same problem. The phone is Straight Talk/Verizon using CDMA/LTE. Before I ditch the phone, is there anything else I can try? Would going back to stock ROM change anything? I've not touched baseband, etc unless they are port of the ROM I installed. I like the phone but I also need one that works.
Try returning to stock http://android.cmphys.com/stock-fireball/ or search for the ruu here to see if that helps. And make sure you have the most updated firmware 2.19.605.2.zip

the phone is s-off boot loader unlocked and partition swapped. I know I have to reverse the partition swap. Do I need to relock bootloader, etc or will the stock ROM work after the partitions are swapped back?
Trying to update firmware, I am using these step
Reboot the device to HBOOT: adb reboot-bootloader
Enter the OEM update mode: fastboot oem rebootRUU
Flash the firmware package. cd to the directory containing fireball-firmware-2.19.605.2.zip and run:
fastboot flash zip fireball-firmware-2.19.605.2.zip
Wait for the process to finish
Reboot the phone: fastboot reboot
I get to step 2, and my laptop says it is waiting for device. am I supposed to do anything on the phone or just wait?
Just swapping partitions back should work.

Do I need stock recovery? I was hoping to just update the firmware and see if that fixes it. Do I need stock recovery to flash stock ROM and/or the firmware?
If I remember correctly the ruu command requires the stock recovery.

ok thanks. I can;t hurt the phone any more than it already is.
I figured it out. I'm in Linux and had to su to root to get fastboot to flash anything. oddly, the reboot commands just fine when I'm not root.
So, were you successful getting your voice connection back?

No. And it doesn't appear I was successful at flashing firmware either. The phone still says I am version 1.5 I tried flashing stock recovery then repeating the firmware flash. I am going to be looking for a new phone today.

I replaced the phone today. I am on call tonight and tomorrow and needed a working phone. I could use a land line but it would be painful. thanks for all the help. I spent some time on the phone last night with Verizon. I'm wondering if either they figured out the phone was unlocked or its just older so they flipped a bit somewhere to keep it from connecting. I could also try a GSM SIM and may keep the phone for if I ever travel international.
Yeah, Verizon is slightly fishy that way, on mine two days before my contract was up my LTE just stopped working. Good luck with the new phone.

I had to reset mine to stock, relock it and return it on warranty, apparently there is a known issue with the sim card slot or tray or something. On my third now, debating whether to unlock and try again. No matter what I flashed on it, RUU, stock roms, anything, I couldn't get it back working right. Always had the roaming. New sim card didn't work either.
So your gonna have to do some work to get it back to stock and proper relocked, and then request a new phone from verizon.

The thing is I get the triangle but I got it back today by messing around with the sim card.. IMO this seems like an issue with the sim slot.. If u go back to stock let me know how that goes.. As of now I have 3g but no 4g and honestly I haven't had 4g on this phone since I got it 3 days ago

Ruu back to stock, I had the same issue and had to do this to get it working again. You do NOT need to go back to s-on to run the ruu, but you do need to be running the stock hboot, so if you are on eng hboot make sure you flash back. .torrented has links in his signature for the ruu and the hboot

How exactly is this an issue? Seems more like a cosmetic thing. Plus, your carrier could be renting towers from another carrier causing the phone to think it is roaming while it actually is not.

I don't think this has anything to do with renting towers. The same thing happened to me while I was flashing the GPE rom for the DNA. I spent two days trying to revert back to s-on and stock out of the box. Finally figured out how to do it. Next I took the ota and the triangle disappeared and showed 4G LTE.
It means your are stuck in roaming. You'll have to adb install stock hboot. Run the RUU. Let it boot. Once that's installed, you'll have to go into hboot and do a factory reset. After that, get the two OTA's. Then install custom recovery and your back in business. I've done it three times that I remember, maybe more, with success. If the first time factory reset don't work, so it again. Promise it will work. You don't have to lock or relock...

I have the 'triangle' problem on a moonshine s-off DNA, but ADB doesn't recognize the phone, I only get "list of devices attached" and blank. It will connect in fastboot, but I've tried 3 computers, multiple usb ports, installing and updating drivers, etc. The device shows up in windows attached by usb and I can drag and drop files- any ideas? I am NOT a programmer by the way, so have been trying to rely on step by steps. Is there a way to fix it without adb? I guess even if I have to go back to box stock that will be better than no phone!
Also, the other things I've read do say you have to lock the bootloader in order to flash the stock hboot and run the RUU.
Thanks in advance-

Planedoc, thanks for that, nogo however...when I tried to manually install those I got a Windows (7) error message saying "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64 based systems."
I did try to install Koush's universal drivers as well via the exe he provided, and it still didn't recognize the phone in ADB, and then every time I plug the phone in it tries to install it's own drivers again, currently the DNA is showing up in device manager with device name: HTC6435LVW, Device type ortable devices, Location: Port_#0004.Hub_#0005, and driver files \Windows\system32\DRIVERS\WinUSB.sys and \Windows\system32\DRIVERS\WUDFRd.sys
Maybe I'll try my wifes macbook tonight and see if it shows up there.
So, I used Moonshine to unlock and root the VZW Droid DNA, and after it was all said and done, I installed CM11 with the KK Gapps.
Normally, I don't have an issue with this kind of thing, but I could call and text after for approximately two hours, then it just stopped.
I now can't text at all, and when I call, it says something about needing to go to an external operator on VZW's service,
but what gets me is that I still have LTE, I still have data, I can browse the internet, I just can't call or text. I'm baffled.
In settings, in about phone, it says it's connected to service, it isn't roaming, it has all connectivity and even shows me my number.
Why could this be? I really need this phone to have service. Thanks to all who help!

Same issue here. All data works via LTE (status bar icon turns blue) but without SMS or phone ability. Traveling on business this week I noticed poor connectivity and ran the *228 #2 option to update my roaming coverage. I thought that was the cause, but it may not be if others are experiencing the same. I can reach Verizon activation if I switch CDMA mode to automatic (goes to roaming) but activation cannot complete. Seems like we need reprogramming for some reason but I doubt Verizon will want to assist us with customized software.
Wise people of XDA, please help/advise us confused souls.

Scratching my head. Nothing sees the phone via ADB though the drivers and software appear correct. I'm able to flash TWRP through Flashify and Flash Image GUI but it doesn't seem to like any of the recovery options above. Selecting Recovery from the Moonshine HBOOT screen brings me (eventually) to a red "!" triangle over a phone. I have the option to reset through Sense 5 settings or Moonshine, but my guess is that just makes things worse/does nothing without the correct recovery. Any ideas?
EDIT: Small gains - computer sees the phone if I reinstall CM10.2.1. Not that it fixes much...

The ruu won't root or put a custom rom on your phone. The ruu will erase your phone completely and put it back to the way it came out of the box on the stock rom. In your case it will be the newest update that's the ruu I suggest using. It's very easy to do just follow the instructions on the computer screen. Hopefully it can fix the issue if it doesn't it probably hardware related and if that's the case and your within your one year warranty try and get a replacement. But we can cross that bridge when we get there. For now get the newest ruu which is 3.0.6 I believe from here.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B32gqnbh2ZecYTlvV1dlZTVRS0E/preview?pli=1
That is the direct download link. The ruu needs to be run on a Windows computer I recommend Windows 7 and have the phones drivers installed for it to work properly.

Hey guys, after flashing the firmware and the RUU twice using the link provided the Wi Fi is working but it's still acting a little funky here and there. Earlier this morning, the phone rebooted when I tried to turn on Wi Fi. After it booted up, I was able to turn Wi Fi on/off several times and it worked perfectly.
Any chance that putting cyanogenmod or something on there would fix these intermittent glitches?
What would I do for a bootloader and root?
Newbie here, did some reading last night but there's so much.
If you look in the original development thread you will find it. Go to the website download the one for the DNA and then follow the guide. Once you achieve soff you need to flash a custom recovery. I recommend the twrp 2.6 beta it seems to work when flashing all the kit Kat roms I haven't tried 2.7 yet but if your feeling adventurous you can try that to. To flash a recovery you need to put your phone in fastboot and then use the command fastboot flash recovery and then you have your recovery on your phone. Then you can flash what you want. If you want to do this and need any help direct message me and I can help you out.

OK, I decided to take a chance and reboot the device. I'm back in fastboot mode so I'll try the RUU again.

Unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone so any internal data I believe isn't there anymore. Reboot back to fastboot and try reflashing the recovery. Also HBOOT info would probably help. Just keep calm. It'll be okay.

if this was my phone i would be a lot calmer, but this is her only phone, and she uses it for business. the samsung rooting is a million times easier, and without a single problem. i have done dozens of them, and NEVER had any issues. i don't understand why htc makes you do the bootloaded, which is a monster process all to its own, and then puts you through so many trials and tribulations to complete the root. when i root a samsung, all the information is still thereso i assumed it would be the same on any android device. as you can imagine, i am bugging to lose her all her info.
ok, so i reflashed recovery using the cmd prompt, and it flashed ok. then i loaded supersu. no problem. but then when i try to load the stock htc rom, it says it can't find md5, and reloads into a white screen with green htc on it. that's it. it goes no further. anything you can tell me to help get this thing up and running?

the hboot is 2.10.0000
and the rom is: Download 3.16.651.3 Stock Firmware with root for HTC Evo 4G LTE (Flash with TWRP after factory reset)
when i try to flash it, it says, "no md5 file". then just goes to the white screen and stays there.
but i am willing to flash any rom to get it up and running. i have no problems getting into bootloader or recovery.
top of my fastboot screen says:
******* tampered
******* unlocked
jewel PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.10.0000
RADIO 1.13.11.1105
OpenDSP-V33.1.0.45.1128

man, i don't even know what ruu is? we don't have that with samsung phones. when i wiped the partition, i just tried to load the twrp and then the rom.
so i'm guessing you want me to flash: Novitious_Jewel_4.3_Sense5.5_N1.zip - 831.88 MB
do i just flash it like any other rom, or do i have to do something special for this ruu?
It's a normal rom but you saying HBOOT 2.10.0000 tells me that someone updated it. Before you started the process was the phone Android version 4.3?

i think it was. and yes, it was upgraded today. i spent quite a while unlocking the bootloader. that took forever. then i tried to root it. but had a problem right in the middle of that. when i went to mount the int sd card, it said nothing was there. then it told me i needed a decrypt password. so i was told to wipe everything. so i did. then reloaded twrp and supersu. that is where i am now. man, i just want to get this thing up and running again, no matter what rom or anything else. this is not my phone, and she uses it for business. she needs it as soon as possible, and i know so very little about htc.

Well since it was updated you need a rom that is built on the new layout. The link I have you is for a rom that should work fine for you. It is sense 5.5 and personally I love it. Hopefully your friend will too. Just dl and flash. Also you need a modified twrp recovery from Captain_Throwback.

Either of the twrps listed in this thread should work. Fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img. personally I would rename the recovery to either twrp or recovery and make sure it is in the same folder as the fastboot files. Or if you are s-off put in a zip fodder after renaming to recovery.img

ok, i got them. i'll go give it a shot. i really appreciate all the help, i'll hit your thanks bar many times.
update: i hit your thanks bar for every post you made in this thread. thanks again. hope it all works.
man, i can't believe i went through all the things i went through, and i am right back in the same boat i was this afternoon. i renamed and flashed the custom recovery. i then flashed the rom, and when it looked like it was doing everything right, and starting to load the rom, it took me right back to the prompt "Decrypt Storage". type password to decrypt storage.
30 attempts remain before device data is deleted.
how can i get past this thing? i wiped everything there was to wipe on this phone.

i got so mad about the decrypt thing popping back up, that i went into wipe and did a full "format data". now the decrypt message is gone, but the phone will not recognize the internal sd card. the only place it shows up is in advanced wipe area, and i can wipe it individually, but in the other areas of the phone, it doesn't show up. for instannce, if i try to usb mount, there is no internal card, so it will not show anything. so how do i get this internal sd card back? i can't flash anything right now because it isn't recognized.
two other questions, should the int sd card be formatted in fat32 or exfat? and is the rom you gave me odexed or deodexed?
UPDATE: so i finally decided to use the root folder to flash the older twrp, and it worked. then i was able to see the internal folder again. so i tried to reload the supersu, and rom you suggested, but when it loaded up, it took me right back to the "decrypt storage" message. so i tried to reload the newer twrp, you suggested, and the int sd card is not recognized again. so i am guessing i have a lot of miss matched software on this phone, and maybe that is the reason i am getting this message. any idea how to determine exactly which ones are out of place? in the mean time, i googled the decrypt storage message, and many people have been through this also, but i haven't seen a fix. so i will go back to your friends site, and try the other twrp for now.
UPDATE2: i just decided to relock the bootloader, and ruu it back to original. i hope this works. i was able to relock the bootloader, and i am in the middle of ruu'ing it now.
UPDATE3: yeah, i've got it back up. so glad to get this thing running again. i wish i had of understood what you meant by ruu before, i would have saved myself a lot of grief.
the fact that, while setting things up for the first time, this phone will not let you skip accounts, and just get into your phone is crap. you should be able to set the accounts up at your whim. and even if you try to set a new account up with htc, the code the phone gives you, will not work on the htc site. even if you keep generating a new code on the phone, the site will not take it. what the hell is that? this entire experience with this phone makes me appreciate having a samsung much, much, much more than ever before. htc needs to get their head out of their ass, and stop making everything so difficult.
Based on a quick read on this thread, the problem appears to have been an incomplete update to the new layout. The HBOOT got updated, but the image doesn't appear to have been flushed again to update the data and system partitions fully, and then the ROM booted to ensure everything was initialized properly. That would be the way to fix it going forward.
Also, you can skip through all of the account setup stuff in the ROM - I'm not sure what you mean about that .
FIXING
It's been awhile since I got to play around with roms, and I have a couple questions. I'm rooted with 5.01.
1. Am I able to flash this from 5.01
2. Is this prerooted or do I have to go through the prices of changing to developer mode and re rooting?

Huzzah! I'll be giving this a go!
I couldn't get it running. It flashed and booted but kept giving me an error that my SIM was removed and it needed to reboot. I let it reboot several times with no change. I took the SIM out and it stopped the error but of course there was no way it was going to work for calls like that. I attempted to flash the beastmode kernel and it wouldn't even flash.
