[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taikyosan:
Enable roaming. I'm surprised day one update can not be skipped. It shouldn't show if you dont connect to wifi. Whom ever is next to get theirs, try not connecting it to wifi. You should get a warning saying some/most features won't work but still be able to bypass it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kachaffeous:
Went into service mode and it was defaulted to LTE + GSM, changed it LTE+CDMA no change, also tried roaming mode. I never saw the Verizon option like the other guy did (maybe b/c I skipped activation?)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr_w:
Try rebooting after every change you make. Thanks for doing this for us.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taikyosan:
I don't know what could be different. Booted device, added sim, tried to activate, sat there for minutes, took sim out, added it to wifi, got the prompt of day one update. Tried to skip but got other prompt about things not working so i backed out and did the update (wish i didnt do that.) Put sim back in, go to screen to select operators, let it do search, Only T-mobile, AT&T appear at first. told it to search again, and this time 311 was added to list. Moved phone closer to window/door, restarted phone (it wouldn't come out of search for operators prompt) this time got verizon wireless on list. selected it but it just goes back to searching for operators. tried selecting it again and it got stuck and searching for operators. restarted phone and tried selecting it again and got trying to register on verizon. times out and goes back to searching for operators. get notification that verizon wireless network unavailable.

again i dont know what could be different, i got my nexus 5 from first batch shipped that friday. I might be near a band 4 tower but i doubt it as my city is not no were near cities listed of band 4 activation. sorry, middle of work so have to type fast, may be some errors in spellings and/or grammar.

If you want to drop the modem files in it that'd be helpful. If it doesnt work you could odin back to stock.

I also get the "Verizon Wireless" option under Available Networks using my Gnex sim. When selected it says "Registering on Verizon Wireless...", but doesn't complete. I get Verizon and AT&T as options using the Gnex sim.

I did make a TWRP backup before the mandatory patch. However, the patch removed TWRP and deleted my backup... WTF?

ODIN back to stock? Shouldn't that be "fastboot flash radio radio.img" using the radio image here:

I'm tempted flash the G2 radio.... I just don't know if the Nex5 radio.img has been tested.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr_w:
I just meant, try the g2 modem, if it doesn't work, flash the entire odin file (includes the original n5 modem) to recover your n5 back. Should be fairly painless.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taikyosan:
Wouldn't fastboot of the stock image from Google do the same thing? just asking as I know how to do that. But I'm not overly familiar with Odin.

Actually I think you are right...been a while since I did that with my GNEX. SHould have the same results. I can walk you through ODIN if you like.

I just thought of something else. Log onto your verizon account and go through the process of switching your device. It'll ask you for your imei. You've got nothing to lose ... I'm going to try it when my phone comes in.

So you guys are bending over backwards to get the device to work on BC4???? You do realize BC4 is deployed when they run out of spectrum on BC13 so it's deployment is going to be fragmented at best. That and it's at such a high frequency that building penetration is going to be significant compared to BC13. I'd be surprised as well if you get it working correctly with CSFB so I'm doubting voice calls will work.

But hey, if you guys have nothing else to do and can get it working then great!

if someone did flash the g2 modem and it didnt work would they be able to push the correct one back through fastboot

or is it bricked?

There are two types of people in this thread:

1) Those willing the flash the G2 radio, but aren't sure if they can return to stock.

You may want to invest in a JTAG if you routinely try and flash random builds and run commands on your UE without knowing anything.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr_w:
You would just adb push the modem file. Test it. Then if it didnt work fastboot the original n5 file.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallingd0wn:
I don't think the modem is the problem anyway. The device already has the correct CDMA bands so flashing another modem would potentially only grant you the main VZ LTE band. One of the posters here was able to see the VZW network but couldn't activate. I'm guessing he was in an AWS area. If that's they case, the device technically had everything it needed hardware-wise at that point to connect. I'm betting that VZ has these blacklisted to prevent registration. They did make a point of saying that the N5 would not be on VZ during the announcement. I'm sure that was for reasons other than not having the right numbers in the spec list.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Right exactly. The Galaxy Nexus could be subjected to Odin as well, but that's because Samsung made it, not because it's a Nexus.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ardiross:
It has nothing to do with VZW blocking the device. If band 13 would work on the phone you would be able to activate it with VZW, with no problem. VZW is not allowed to blacklist any devices that will work on the portion of band 13. This was said by the FCC when they purchased this band. This however is not the case with band 4. So anyone that sees VZW on there list of networks is only seeing it in band 4 and VZW is allowed to block devices in that band. I know they aren't allowed to block any devices in band 13, because I've seen an non VZW router activate on the network just by pulling the SIM out of a working phone and putting it in the non VZW router. Once it activates it will work on the LTE as well as the 850 CDMA. So if someone could get band 13 unlocked it will work.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallingd0wn:
They may not be able to block on band 13 but they CAN block on the CDMA side.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ardiross:
They can, but they haven't yet. Once it's on the LTE it's allowed to access CDMA, but if you try to activate it on CDMA only, it will be blocked.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallingd0wn:
If that theory is correct, then anyone that's covered by band 4 should be able to activate the device as is.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ardiross:
No. They are allowed to restrict devices on band 4. The part of band 13 they purchased from the FCC is the best for a bunch of reasons, so the FCC stated they aren't allowed to restrict devices on it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fafafooey:
They can 100% block the Nexus 5 on BC 13! If you actually read the law you are bastardizing "Title 47 › Chapter I › Subchapter B › Part 27 › Subpart B › Section 27.16" you will see they can block a device for the following reason "As required to comply with statute or applicable government regulation."

The Nexus 5 doesn't have FCC certification for BC 13 so it is against FCC regulation to operate the device in BC 13, so they can block them.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ardiross:
I stand corrected. They can block a device for that reason, but the question is will they? This is also assuming they have a way to look up all the IMEI numbers to see if they are FCC certified or not.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragn4rce:
God I wish I could help you guys out. The suspense of reading and seeing ideas shot down one by one is killing me!

I need to buy an N5 but I dunno if my dad will allow me to leave the family plan for T-Mo.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fafafooey:
Yes, they do..

http://www.gsma.com/technicalprojects/fraud-security/imei-database

"When allocating IMEIs to a device manufacturer, the GSMA stores some basic information about the device. This information includes the manufacturer name and the model identifier of the associated handset and some of its technical capabilities (e.g. frequency bands supported by the handset, etc.)."
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ardiross:
Let's just hope they don't. :)

Some one please try and flash it. I would, but I don't have much experience on flashing phones.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack584:
I think the new goal should be to get band 13 working. Weather it be by flashing the G2 modem, or some other way that some genius can figure out.

After all, somebody was able to get LTE working on the Nexus 4.

If we can ever to get to that point we may be able to get somewhere with activating it on Verizon, based on the comment that Verizon can't block any devices that work on band 13.

If that won't get it to work, it's probably unfortunately the time to put it to rest and wait for what ever project that Google is working on with Verizon to come out next year.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteChallenger:
this is correct, however, it is not why verizon can block access. verizon can restrict access to its cdma network, so any device that has support for verizons cdma bands is at there mercy, this is why blocking the nexus 7 is a violation of c block rules as it can olny access vzws 4g lte network. this is also why if/when vzw completely retirees the cdma network and move to voLTE, they will have to allow non verizon branded devices as they with mandated to by the c block agreement.

will they is not even a question. Verizon's system is set up so no proactive measures are needed to block any device. Everything the blocked from activation by default until Verizon approves a device and add a specific series of esns to its device database. Technical specs don't matter in the slightest.

On that note there are some possible work arounds. The nexus 5 supports CDMA bands 0/1/10 these are the same bands Verizon uses. Voice calling, check. The G2 uses the same SoC as the Nexus 5 it sounds plausible that the Verizon G2 radio could be flashed, thus adding band 13 support. LTE, check. There is a ESN Verizon has internally for device testing. From what I can tell a device can be active in vzws system using this ESN and a legit SIM card number and the activation process dose not verify the actually ESN of the device. So theoretically full service on Verizon with a nexus 5 may be doable. But there is at least 1 FCC violation in there, maybe an other federal offence if actually changing the imei is needed (not sure about the specific legalities), but then again xda isnt exactlly about following the rules and i have no idea if this is something the fcc would actually come after you for.

I believe I have a solution

hi every one, just got on this board....its great!

Now back to the issue msn messenger.

Paying to activate messenger? no need for that, it is already installed correctly, so in fact you already payed for it.

Now how to solve the problem: the problem mostly lies in your gprs settings: if you take a look at your gprs settings in your connections.

there should be a username and password installen (both are mostely your operator: so for instance if your operator is t-mobile, password and username are "t-mobile").

I know this sounds rediculous, because even if internet explorer works fine with the standard settings, for the protocol used by msn a password is needed.

Good luck!! it worked for me and many other users I know with a mda vario/ qtek 9100

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
ODEX VERSION:

for those who don't want the screen animations or other tweaks,

this is a stock odex mj4 with the hotspot activated.

not a flashable zip. unzip.

works while keeping knox 0x0

just use a file explorer or adb to copy files into system/framework.

make sure r/w permission for /system is set.

rename old files or make backup first.

Edit.

If renaming the old files you must change the ending or your phone will hang.

So file.end becomes file.end.bak

Or file.old or whatever.

Services.jar to services.jar.bak is ok.

Services.odex to services.odex.bak is ok

Not fileback.end

Services.jar to servicesbak.jar is not ok and will hang your phone.

If you leave the .jar or .apk or.odex on your orig file it will still try and load. Causing a bootloop.

This can be fixed with adb. Look at pages 5/6
