[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] E01010100:
That is correct - I've never run the nightly. However, I have been using 10.2.1 for over a month now without any issues before this texting problem started and it is weird that when I try to go back to earlier versions I continue having the issue.

Actually... now that I think about it... the problem didn't start immediately after failing the encryption. It started after changing my recovery setup from CWM to TWRP after reading a recommendation that encryption might be more successful using TWRP. I just set my phone back to use CWM so I'm going to try another factory reset/re-install CM10.2.1 and see what happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] yooeee:
i did upgrade to TWRP 7.0. Never messed with encryption.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] E01010100:
Nope... after flashing latest version of CWM through ROM Manager and then doing a factory reset and re-installing CM10.2.1; I still can't send more than 1 text message to myself.

Is it possible that something could have corrupted my sim card itself? Isn't the smsc number read from that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kevin M:
Ok, that's something. I haven't flashed TWRP but I did loki_flash a new version of CWM from fitsnugly about a week ago.

It's possible but I got a new SIM from Verizon and it did not fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Good question... I follow this thread and was wondering what modems everyone with this issue are running. Surge just uploaded a new modem , MG7 , which does have AWS enabled... May be worth a shot.

It'd at least be something I'm sure noone has tried yet.

I'm probably grasping at straws here as this problem you guys are having is just plain screwed up!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lv128:
Targeted

Having read and participated in this thread and two others with the exact same results from everyone, I can pretty much sum up the facts, as I see them:

1. This is not related to the modem or baseband

1. I've tried 4 different modems on my i535 s3. No difference.

2. This is related to ALL versions of CM and AOSP which means anything built from AOSP and not a modified TW rom will have this failure

2a. The problem started for me on 2/16 at 5PM while I had been using 10.2 for close to a year. CM11 and encrypted text is not the culprit.

3. This is a targeted effort by verizon to track CM/AOSP users, otherwise they would not be closing the tickets on everyone who calls to report the issue; especially once they find out roms are involved.

4. The Verizon NRB tech told me that it was a 403 SIP Protocol error which means that after the first message squeaks through it flags future messages from that handset (or from the header that the AOSP handset is sending) to be denied for routing. And this only effects SMS because SMS does not use the standard internet data lanes, which is why MMS works flawlessly on the affected devices.

4a. If you wait exactly 2-4 hours, the "ban" expires and you can once again send one message, I've already confirmed this myself. After that message gets through the ban renews for your handset.

Now onto speculation:

Verizon is likely trying to target modified handsets for other reasons, for example: people who have modified handsets use more cellular data historically either through tethering or just more available apps and they cannot control the flow of data with any type of bloatware trash that they (very likely) install on the factory handsets.

If this isn't fought against, the next step will probably be kicking off any modified handset once they perfect their detection methods.

Several people have reported that their calls to verizon to open trouble tickets has resulted in the ticket being closed for "modified software" without any action on their part. They did it to me as well but I jumped through a number of hoops to have them reopen that including getting a "replacement" handset, which I immediately installed CM on and called to do testing with, which added to their confusion because they think that the stock handset is at fault (at least on my account)

Solution:

Mimic the touchwiz header for sending sms onto the AOSP kernel, which means a special kernel needs to be built for verizon devices, or a kernel patch.

The solution goes beyond my technical ability, so I'm at a dead end.

:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DreamFX:
I agree with you totally. Same problem as you but only with my Note 2. My HTC thunderbolt and rezound work great with latest CM 9 and 11. So to add this to the confusion it seems it's only Samsung phones :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lv128:
To add to the speculation, it could very well be that having a rooted handset caused them a number of problems with rogue apps mass texting

and this was a very "Technical Support" method of handling the problem which they implemented without thinking how it would effect other users, so this reinforces the need to file trouble tickets with Verizon regardless if they close them or not, considering it's Samsung only that seems to be affected and I haven't seen a single report from anyone having this problem on a CM rom on another maker's handset, they probably only targeted samsung CM because that may be where the problem originated?

This is the devil's advocate theory for anyone who doesn't want to buy into conspiracy against the rom modders. And as I type this, it does sound more plausible than my other theory. Either way, the solution is the same.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
The tethering aspect/ unlimited data is interesting too. I agree now that you Guys summed it up a bit more, as I'm on Liquid Smooth and don't run any tw ROMs and I don't have this issue so I trust what you guys are saying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dwitmer1989:
Hey guys I'm fairly new to this discussion not because I haven't had the problem for long but because I just went back to tw for a month (round of applause please). At any rate I read somewhere that someone uninstalled a bunch of Google stuff and got their SMS function back. So I decided to try texting without any gapps installed. Funny thing is for me it actually worked. Even weirder is then I installed the slimmest gapps package I could find (pa micro) and I actually haven't had a problem since. I'm on one of the latest cm nightlies and have had no problems texting for over a week. This wouldn't probably go along with the developments but if a couple people wanna give this a try and see if I stumbled upon a workaround have at it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] E01010100:
Very thorough and makes a lot of sense.

As for running without gapps, I tried that and it didn't work for me. I also tried google hangouts to send sms but failed. I think because it routes to the messaging app.

I'm going to revert to my stock rooted Verizon and see if things work.

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

Weird.....

so I put my phone back to stock and now it thinks that the phone is encrypted! 0_o

I cannot get past the pin prompt because all the passwords I tried failed. When I throw CM on it no pin is required but if I put it back to stock a pin is requested. I don't understand why. I've tried factory resets and I never had a pin/encryption while in stock.

Not sure what to try now....

I'm going to download/install LiquidSmooth and see what happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AnTiDoWn3r:
If Verizon really is targeting ROM makers, I'll be switching very very soon. We pay them hundreds of dollars a month for their service, they should have no control over what we do to our phones.

In other news, I'm going to try the nvrestore method this afternoon. God I can't stand touchwiz.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] E01010100:
Can anyone recommend me a different kernel besides the cyogenmod one? I'm trying to find one to see if switching kernels will make a different sms message to get by Verizon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
I'd give KToonsez a shot.. It's truly an awesome kernel

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] shadowhero:
Has anyone got either of thse games working on root?

i just get a black screen then it exits to home when i try and run it.

i've currently got SM-P605 running on hanspampel rom.

I installed the APK n copied the opp files to android/opp/

and i don't have xposed installed.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] moabizzi:
Cant share info like that on xda, goes against forum rules.

But ur failing the license check.

Id recommend the SNES emulator.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Duly.noted:
OP didnt say he downloaded the apk illegally or that its a rom he stole. Its an apk that didnt work for some reason. He could have easily pulled the install files from another device he owns on which he payed for the game. And root check could be keeping something he paid for from working. While he may have gotten it illegally its rude to automatically assume that he did so. lets be more friendly.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] moabizzi:
Ok, no need to be robin hood, but moving files doesnt need to be done if he alreqdy owned the game. Save files move over with an issue, but its the license check which is screwing him over.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Duly.noted:
Not if he had it on another device. Save files wouldn't move over automatically. Not trying to robin hood lol. Just saying you are probably right about the license check though. I also believe some games have root checkers. Op could try to use wanam to hide root from it and see if that works.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] neothunder:
I have both on my rooted 605, and they both work flawlessly.

To those stating that he could have transferred them from one device to the other: Since these games are referenced as compatible, he can re-download them on his 605. I have them on both my Note 3 (also rooted) and my Note 10.1 2014ed. (yes, I know, it's useless, I need to uninstall them from the Note 3...)

On the other hand, while these Final Fantasy work without any problem, I've never been able to see anything from Drakerider, also from SquareEnix. It seems they have discontinued support since android 4.3.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] DFStormbringer:
"OBB" files are nestled well into the android OS file tree becuase its mainly registry and DMR verification files which are installed during the APK process....

save files.. character files and extra game data files are almost ALWYAS stored either in secondary memory.. or external data sections in directories named after the game or the developer itself.

this means.. YES>. admitting that they are having to transfer over OBB files when the APK installs them automattically is him in an indirect way admitting hes a stolen APK.

and likly an outdated one with bugs for newer versions of android OPS which are fixed on newer files.

robinhooding or not.. regulations are there to prevent said developers from attacking and shutting down the website for illegal behavior.. no matter what the views of the individual poster or moderator might be.

all it takes is one person crossing the line tothe point one person decides to press a lawsuit.. and XDA is shut down.

simply put.. if he has the legit version off of google play its already giving him an option to auto update.. and as weve seen for other 1.1-2014 users.. the games work fine for the tablet... he onl yneeds to update through google play and play his heart out.

if hes having to transfer the registery files.. then the likely scenarrio is its NOT a legit copy.. is vastly outdated.. and hes byond our help becuase were not alowed to doscuss how to get hacked/stolen files to function.

As i describe, phone is in bootloop and both of the volume keys are not working. I can't get into CWM. I tried fastboot but, i can't do anything in there because of broken buttons. How can i save the phone?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
Strange, why it is in bootloop, were you doing anything at the time?

A few things I can think of:

- Repair your volume buttons, look for a youtube guide. It's useful to have your volume buttons working anyway.

- If you don't want to hardware fix, I think you could potentially try fastboot commands to flash 4EXT recovery. CWM is useless as you can't navigate inside CWM with broken volume keys, and 4EXT is better anyway e.g. for partitioning sd card.

- Setup adb and fastboot, and flash the 4ext recovery.img using fastboot. (Get into fastboot by "back+power")

- Try to boot into recovery with by forcing a reboot: "fastboot reboot-bootloader" to get back to bootloader screen

- Press power to select "reboot", or try your luck again volume key to get to recovery.

- Then "adb reboot recovery" no guarantee this will work as never tried it.

- If you get to recovery, make a nandroid backup. Then try to reflash the ROM without wiping anything, see if it boots.

- Last resort is to flash an RUU and s-off again to get it booting, but the volume button issue will remain.

Eventually if you install mildwild or similar ROM again, it's best to flash the ROM on a smaller hboot, as you're still on stock hboot and wasting a lot of space.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
There is a way to boot recovery using fastboot, so basically setup adb & fastboot using eddies guide then get recovery.img (4ext as pb99img in my sig, just extract the file) put the recovery.img in ur fastboot folder on pc then boot ur phone into fastboot (back + power) plug in ur phone to pc then open command window n type

fastboot boot recovery.img

That should boot u into recovery

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B10shock!:
To start off, I have rooted my phone using the tutorial using the GB27 Jelly Bean kernal through Rwilco12's Android Forum

(Shout out to rwilco12 for the guide)

I am this far, and I have installed TWRP Manager from the Google Store.

I want to install ROMs, but I see a lot of threads and warnings about 'Don't use JB modem!!!!'

I would like to get a full understanding of not using JB modems, because I have 4.1.2 on my phone, and wonder if that is what they are referring to? And if so, what is an alternative OR what ROMs do not need JB modems?

Also, are there any extra steps in between rooting the phone and flashing a custom ROM, because I want to be sure that I have a way to recover in case of the infamous 'brick' shall occur, or something of that nature. Thanks.

Any advice/criticism/references is encouraged! :good:

I've been reading these forums for two days now and I'm just add confused as when I started. If I get a new device that comes with the current 12b update, I see root is available, but very Unclear about recovery - all the threads op's are vague and misleading. Any clarification would be appreciated. 2nd: of the plethora of roms available, is it true that the rom itself must be updated for the 12b firmware? That's the jist I'm getting, and how on earth do you know if they have been? It's all very confusing and Unclear. I'm coming from the beautiful unlocked bootloader if the vzw galaxy s3 and our important threads are grouped into guides and updated regularly. Understanding the basics is easy with the s3, but I'm truly questioning if I want the g2 now (I'm a flashaholic) - so confused!

you might have some problems with 12b and installing recovery root your phone install an app called freegee and select twrp or cwm i like twrp but i think both work i had one problem when i backed up stock rom stock freaked out and asked for a decrptyion code reboot fixed that so some have reported problems one thing if your going to root install a custom rom because if lg pushes the ota to your device if its rooted it will brick it cm11 is a little unstable but if you can look past some bugs its a great experience

I DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY if you brick your device ROOTING or modding your device has risk

oh and have fun with cyanogenmod
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5019868:
Personal Experience

Just got a replacement 12B G2, this is what I've noticed:

-Installing root/recovery is still fairly simple on 12B.

-No problems with flashing roms either (tested both TWRP and Philz Touch).

-But KERNELS will throw you a curve ball. 12B requires a separate loki patch from the older builds. PAEK refused to flash in both recoveries (assert failed: run_program("/tmp/loki.sh ==0) until I found a user-patched workaround kernel. After that it flashed fine, but it required some digging.

Right now AOSP is nowhere near 100 percent stable on the VZW G2 and probably won't be until LG gets their act together. Just something to consider. Best of luck!

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RonDutt:
cdma workshop (paid) or dfs will let you flash it over with voice+text and 1x data (with some luck). 3g will *not* work until someone figures out how to update the mobile IP settings (HA and AAA keys). I spent a good month doing just this-- manually reviewing every single nv item that I was able to dump. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like 3g will be a possibility without more people getting involved (or just straight up not possible).
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpuspeed:
Can you please stop posting this misinformation. It is possible. I've been using a boost moto g on pageplus w/ 3G data for the last week. The means to do so exactly are known to the professional flashers and they are keeping it secret. Frankly I think its probably rather straight forward if you have the paid version of cdma workshop and have flashed phones before.

also you should be able to get 1x data with the free versions.
