I have Tmobile unlocked version that I'm using on AT&T but I cannot get visual VM to setup. I downloaded the apk and installed it but when I try to set it up, I enter the password and after that it just hangs. Nothing happens even if I keep it going for 10 minutes.
Any suggestion?

Ok, so I rebooted my phone to just get a fresh boot, and when it booted back up, it displayed an error on the lock screen saying "PUK code is locked. Please contact customer care." I am running the leaked ICS RUU 3.11.605.22 with a locked bootloader.
Has anyone seen this before? Is this an error with the ROM? Or is it even an error with Verizon's 4G LTE? I have gotten an error about my SIM card on my XOOM and Thunderbolt before, but both are currently fine and working, as is my Rezound after another reboot. I am just curious to know what exactly had happened.
I attached a screenshot of the error message.
Thanks in advanced to anyone that has any information.
The SIM can't be unlocked. I'd first try powering down, remove/reinsert the SIM, and try again. If it comes up again, you'll need to contact VZW and get the PUK code for your SIM. If that doesn't work, you'll need a new SIM.
Of course, all that assumes that the "ROM" you're using isn't simply screwing things up.
Well, after this error did come up, I powered down and booted back up with no issues. But like I said, I am using the leaked ICS RUU which could very well be messing with something.
So my mother-in-law has a Straight Talk SGH-959G. She needed to get it SIM unlocked, so she took it to a phone repair shop where it stayed for about a month. He successfully unlocked it, but the wifi didn't work, so he said he would fix it that day. When she got it back it still didn't work, so she gave it to me to fix. It looks like he installed an at&t rom, because it shows the logo when it boots up. However, the first thing that shows up when the phone turns on is that it is an i9100.
I figured the wifi would work with a different rom, so I installed this one (5.0.2 CyanideL for i777) and it works amazing. But every time it turns on, it asks for the SIM unlock code and doesn't recognize the SIM card. I tried a few different apps to get the unlock code, but none have worked.
Any ideas? Do I need to get it from another source, and if so, does anyone know someone that sells unlock codes for straighttalk phones?
Thanks!

If you didn't know, the rom is fairly new so bug like this could happen. Secondly, the rom is for i777 only, you have SGH-959G which they are not exactly the same. '
Try using this rom instead (if liquidsmooth has problems): http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2-att/development/rom-carbonrom-sgh-i777-sgh-959g-t2845008
or this one (use this one first): http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../rom-liquidsmooth-v3-2-sgh-i777-959g-t2865888
Sorry for taking so long...
Neither of those worked. They both optimized the apps and then rebooted to an infinite boot animation.
Hi guys.
I have a Moto E2 (2nd) Verizon model xt1528 which is locked to Verizon.
I got this device to try and unlock it with gsm services, when i got it i simply factory reset the phone using the recovery to start from scratch. all went well, but here's where the problems starts:
The initial Activation screen says the sim inserted is not Verizon's, which is fine..i pulled it out and continue the setup using WiFi, the screen which says "Checking info" is runing for a few seconds then displays "Couldnt sign in" (cant establish a reliable connection to the server, and wifi is working properly i might add) etc'.
If i go back a screen, it allows to input the first and last name, then it gets to the Google services checkboxes, i hit next and then i get a crash saying "Unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped".
I tried frp bypass using this video just to get to the Developer options:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4sQ73IoHQc
But when i get to the part that i need to share the text using Message app, i cant find the message app in the list. if i click on Hangouts, i get another "Unfortunately" crash.
It seems everything in the gapps system is faulty.
I tried:
Reinstalling to the latest firmware available (XT1528_SURNIA_VERIZON_5.1_LPI23.29-17.5_cid2_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml) using Fastboot. all went well and no errors. (bootloader is locked, cant unlock it without getting to Settings)
I tried to bypass the activation with simcard/without
I tried getting to the settings by any means that i can think of, nothing works, it seems google apps keep crashing and because of that, the setup screen itself is crashing.
Can anyone think of a solution to this?
Anyone?
So, I have a couple 2nd gen Boost Moto E's. Upon every boot, I am greeted with the Activation screen... which attempts 5 times and fails (is this normal to fail on brand new devices? what gives?). Regardless, I only want to use these as wifi-only devices... I'm able to get around the activation screen by waiting for it to fail all 5 times, but it is super annoying and comes back after every reboot. I also tried unlocking the bootloader and wiped out the stock rom and installed CM13.... but I also get a similar "activating" screen within CM13. If I remove the SIM, I get a similar nag screen about there being "no sim card".
Is there some way to actually complete the activation.... or just permanently make the "activating" screen go away? Would prefer to know the solution for both stock and CM13.... or if not, just a solution for CM13 would be great.
Try wiping out data,cache,dalvik,system and then flash any rom and open or banks gapps. Or if nothing works, flashing the firmware would work without any issues!

By the way, you are not required to purchase airtime when completing the online or toll-free activation process.

Yes this is completely normal on the Boost variant of the xt1526. The device is attempting to provision your UICC card, update your PRL, update your Profile, and thus provision your device for voice and data services, when progressing through the activation screen sequence. In order to successfully attain activation, you will need to either (1) complete the activation steps on Boost Mobile's website, or (2) complete the activation steps via Boost Mobile's toll-free activation phone number. Whether completing the steps online, or by phone, your xt1526's MEID and ICCID numbers are synced in Boost's activation database. Therefore, when you then power up your phone and enter into the activation screen, the TCP packets sent from your phone to Boost's server will now be recognized by the system and you will get a "passed" versus a "failed" activation status.
Hi all,
Alright so this is going to be a long post. So I recently flashed my phone to the U1 firmware, I currently have an unrooted Verizon Unlocked Samsung S9+. I wanted to switch phone carriers over to Visible (subsidiary of Verizon), here are the order of events that occurred:
1. Visible's website says that my device in not compatible using their IMEI checker, there is a solution that was found on reddit about flashing the device on the U1 firmware.
2. I flashed the device on the U1 firmware using Odin and the Visible SIM card worked as expected. No issues with the flash
3. Data/Texts etc.. are all working as expected. Except for Voicemail.
When I try to check my Voicemail, it is acting as if it's still on the Verizon Voicemail system. It says "Welcome to the message management system, please enter your mailbox number". No one can leave me a VM either because of this. I tried several different combinations of numbers, including my full 10 digit cell number and last 4, to which it says "XXX is not a valid mailbox number", which would be because my number is no longer active on Verizon, so it's unable to access it. Which makes sense. The Visible Customer Care team tried the following:
1. Provisioning my VM multiple times
2. Take out SIM card, turn phone off for 1 min, insert SIM card again, and toggle airplane mode for 30 seconds
3. Reset network settings
After numerous days of troubleshooting with them, eventually they said it was because my device isn't compatible, ok, I can't argue with that. I have not seen anyone else experiencing this issue that had flashed their phone to U1 firmware.
After trying all of this with them, I eventually factory reset my device, hoping that might do something. That still did not work.
My questions is, is there something I missed with flashing the U1 firmware? Why is it still using Verizon's VM system even though I flashed it to U1? Is there any way to fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated, and please don't hesitate if you need any other information.

Please check your voice mail settings in your phone app. See my screenshots.
There you should select the correct service provider and the Visible mailbox number.
