Device keeps entering "Emergency Callback Mode" for no reason - Hero CDMA General

I have an HTC Hero that keeps entering "Emergency Callback Mode" for what seems to be no reason at all. It mostly happens as soon as I answer an incoming call but also randomly in between.
This mode kills all data conenctions and prevents outgoing calls for 5:00. But, even if I say cancel, or wait the 5 minutes, it still stays on and I have to reset the device. It usually resolves itself after 45 mins or so. It happens once or twice a day.
I have researched the issue on google and I have found very little information about this problem. On some phones, this mode is enabled immediately after calling 911 to allow rescuers to call you back and locate you via GPS. I have never called 911 on this device.
I am currently running Cyanogen 7.1 RC2 ROM but I had the same issue on many different ROMS I tried so its not related to that.
on baseband 2.42.01.04.27. Maybe I should try downgrading it? How can I do that safely?
I really don't want to try reverting back to a stock ROM...
EDIT:
I think I posted this in the wrong forum, mod please move, sorry.

Hmmmm........so a complete doesn't solve the issue? And when you say ''sense'', does that mean with sense, it doesn't happen, but with the other Roms it does?

Try updating your radio to the latest .29
Yea its Me Again With the
Modified Hero

I just upgraded to the lastest baseband and it's still doing it.
I also figured out I can trigger the problem immediately by going to mobile network settings and changing my roaming preferences.
I should probably not that I recently repaired this phone and used QPST service programming tool to copy settings over from a touch pro 2 to the Hero. Could there maybe have been a wrong setting from the TP2 that is affecting the CDMA on this phone??

Just did a PRL update. No luck...

Did a succesful over-the-air profile and PRL update. Same problem...

Sounds like it. Is there no way to put everything back to default manufactured settings?

I am considering using a stock RUU to completely wipe the phone to factory settings, but am trying to exhaust all my other options first so I won't have to re-root it and set everything up again... I'm almost at that point though.

!!!!!!!!!!!
FIXED IT SUCKAS.
Did a ##786# which reset all the CDMA settings, then re-did my NAM and data profile settings and it works. Go figure. Doing the ##786# on this phone also retained nearly everything including meid, baseband, recovery, and ROM. All it did was fix the problem. Awesome.
I still have no idea what was causing this to begin with, it was driving me crazy. Hopefully this thread will be helpful to someone else who has the issue.
On a side note, how dumb is this emergency mode?? So you call 911, then you can't call anyone else after that?? What if you need to call your wife and kids to say you love them one more time?! Haha.

Awesome!!!!!! Glad it's fixed. Now I'll just star this just in case it happens to me.

Incredible doesn't detect 3G

Hey all,
I got the July 27 leaked Froyo and went ahead and rooted to 2.2.
I have noticed a pretty serious buggy issue regarding the phone not detecting a 3G network so when I'm away from my wireless router, it only shows bars, no 1X or 3G.
I have two options at this point, one of which has done me no good. Perhaps someone can help me.
Option 1: Downgrade back to Android 2.1. (More on this later)
Option 2: Try and find a way to keep this version and get back on 3G.
Lemme explain: I tried placing the PB31IMG.zip on the SD card and going through recovery to return the phone to stock. Each time I attempted this, it told me the version was old and it failed. Is there a workaround on this or do I need to find a different stock ROM?
I used unrEVOked to root the phone and have not been trying to do any frivolous additions or subtractions. I just wanna be back on my 3G. Any and all help would be HIGHLY appreciated.
Thanks!
Did you try *228 and update your PRL?
Yes. It did not help.
Always have 3G coverage where I'm at too. So more than likely phone is issue unless a tower around here is down (which I highly doubt).
Toggle Airplane Mode on, then off.
JC
Sadly, toggling airplane mode has done nothing to help either.
Upgrade to the 8/1 version...see if that helps.
JC
Try shutting the phone off, then powering back on. Or possibly that combined with an airplane mode toggle. Also make sure your mobile network is on in the settings for wireless networks. This problem was common with the first leak. I have not had it happen since switching to the second leak of 2.2.
Considering the missing apps and media in the 8/1 Leak would it be ok to do Sky Raider or should I just try the 8/1 Leak done by aiccucs?

I believe mrozzeh also gave a link to the full version of the 8/1 leak, if you are concerned about missing apps/media...
Doing that update has not helped me.
I guess I'll have to go down to 2.1 again. However, as I said, it won't load the PB31IMG.zip. It says the file is old. Any ideas?
Stupid question....you did upgrade the radio right?
Yes. Radio is the 2.x baseband.
I would be VERY finicky to update that again as I do NOT want to brick my phone.
Ok, it seems I have found a bit of the issue that is causing it. My phone number and IMSI are not detected as my current phone number. Is there a way to program this or is it an issue where I'll have to have it reprogrammed by the local Verizon rep?

try a *228 and option 1 so the phone is reprogrammed. then do a test call to your vm(*86) and make sure it connects, you should not see the 3G symbol, when you end the call, the 3G should be displayed...give it a whirl
This did not work. There has to be a way to program the phone number into the phone. Any ideas?
i've been having this same issue... messing with airplane mode and rebooting a few times got it to fix... *228 and option 2 worked sometimes. just loaded up Adryns new evo hybrid rom, working fine so far (the problem was rare, maybe twice a day tops) and did *228 1, we shall see!
To no avail on these. I think I'm going to have to see a rep tomorrow and see if we can get the phone number (my actual phone number) programmed back into the phone. I think that's a VZW thing as I'm sure they won't run me through the methods to program a phone number.
I hate that I have to go back to Big Red over this, but it is important for me to have this phone up and running. Besides internet, I have NO other form of contact.
3g issue
I had the same problem and so have many others, I flashed Skyraider Rom and problem is gone so we know its not a buggy radio, I don't think there is a fix right now, but I've never seen a Rom so stable as the new Skyraider, so you might wanna think about flashing that Rom.
Coincidence. I've heard the same with my roms, from both ends of the spectrum. Its for sure a buggy radio, and how it interacts with Froyo. Once we get a 100% Froyo ready radio, I doubt we will ever hear about the issue again.
This is the first I've heard of someone not being able to get the 3G connection back at all. Is that what you are describing? I had it not turn on, then come back after a *228/2 or power cycle - but it always came back on. Just curious but are you on an Alltel plan by chance?
Can you make calls Contra? Did you pay your phone bill?? Are you wiping all data before flashing? Try the full second leak that they added to that post. I've been using it and haven't had the 3G drop in two days now. I just took that rom and removed a handful of apps I would never use. It's working quite well.

[Q] Error sending/receiving MMS "National access coverage not available."

Hello,
Lately I have been unable to send or receive text messages that contain pictures or videos. The error message is always the same "National access coverage not available."
I called Verizon, on Thursday of last week (1-13), and the technician was unable to figure out the problem. He escalated it to the next level and said that someone would be contacting me in a day or 2. Well it's now Wednesday (1-19) of the following week and so far, nothing!
Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, what's the fix? Any help would be appreciated, especially since Verizon has been no help at all!
I'm using a Moto Droid2 ver, 2.3.2 Rooted and OC'd @ 2.25Ghz
Thanks,
Scott

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, it didn't work. I updated it waited the 15 minutes. When it didn't work I rebooted the phone figuring maybe it needed to be refreshed or something, (long time windows tech, reboot fixes everything!) but still nothing. Just that same message.
I get the exact same error when sending or receiving MMS 50 percent of the time with the first initial try... *228 does not fix this.. verizon cannot fix it either...
OK, got tired of waiting for Verizon to call back. On the phone with 2nd tier support now for about the last hour, so far nothing.
Mine started doing that on mms after using juice defender app and I had to do a factory reset to fix it.
OK, got finished with the Verizon tech, who was very helpful, but we still could not resolve the issue.
She removed and reloaded my data from the server, switched me to another IP address and did a few other behind the scenes things but nothing worked. She suggested doing the factory reset, but I'm ready to give up troubleshooting this issue yet. If all else fails, then I guess I will have no other option.
Since sending MM text's in not a huge part of what I use my phone for, I may just wait for the next release of the software and hope that fixes it.
In the mean time I'll just keep playing with settings and searching Google and the message boards in the hope that someone can come up with a fix that doesn't involve having to wipe it.

I used to use that app, but removed it long before this started happening. I wonder if it left behind some orphan files that are somehow in there wreaking havoc?
Since the problem still existed even running the phone in safe mode, I would think that would not be the case, but anythings possible.
my phone does the same thing with same message... if i try again to download message it will usually come through, but if it happens on outgoing message it will never go through

That's the thing. Since so many people are having the same or similar issue, I just find it hard to believe it's not something on Verizon's side or with their software. This many people screwing up their phone's in the exact same way all around the same time just seem a little suspect to me.
Mine happened 6 months ago. Just reset it and see what happens. All your apps with reinstall by themselves.

This is great!
So, I just finished the factory reset (which DID fix the problem) and was starting to configure all my custom settings when the Verizon tech I spoke with called me back. She said that she had just spoken to Motorola and they said it was a known problem with their phones! They are not sure what it is yet, but they are working on it. In the mean time, the only thing they can suggest is to reset the phone as a work around!
I asked the Verizon tech if there was any kind of documentation about this that she could send me, but of course there isn't. And there's also nothing on the Motorola site about the error either, at least nothing I could find.
While it doesn't make the situation go away, it does make me feel better knowing what the root of the problem is, sort of. Only problem is, there is no guarantee that it won't happen again.
i turn airplane mode on then off... works for me
Im having the same problem. I even reflashed to stock motorola, still does it. I noticed if i hold down on failed pics or tap download a few times it works. The problem seems to be triggering the data on and off from the send button.

Yes, I had heard that worked for some people, and I did try that but it still didn't work. Even so, that would only be a work around and not really fixing the issue.

Interesting, since I did the factory rest I haven't had a problem. If it happens again, I'll be sure to check that.

Nexus S total network loss.

So my girlfriend's Nexus S has been losing the entire voice and data network and going into no service mode, no biggie at first, just cycle airplane mode, then it went on to rebooting because you would select airplane mode from the power off menu but it would not check the box in the wireless settings menu.
After the reboot the box would show checked and airplane mode could be disabled and the service would resume. The the phone started getting stuck in airplane mode and not even rebooting it would bring it out the first few times, then it got to the point of resetting the phone, a wipe cache/data reset didn't fixed it. So off to T-Mobile for a new sim card. Rebooted the network immediately. And as of last night its back in full force and now not even a new sim will resurrect the network.
Have tried wiping, reflashing stock 2.3.3, new sim again, multiple resets, had to get an toggle widget to get it out of airplane mode and still a dead network, all this time the network in the *#*#4636#*#* menu showing unknown and is not able to be changed and reverts back to unknown immediately, OEM specifics settings button is greyed out and you are not able to disable the radio either.
While I'm going to call Samsung on Monday and I guess send the phone off, I worry about mine because it too does it but only once a month or so, but I do constantly have issues resurrecting the phone from airplane mode at times because the box will not be checked in the wireless settings menu but I can see the airplane instead of network bars, problem persists with reboots sometimes.
I also would like to add that even when the box is not checked in the wireless settings menu for airplane mode, if you click it it just hangs forever and will try to select but never will and stays grey like its turning everything off, but if the scren goes off its like you never tried.
Has anyone else seen this? I have seen a lot of people with data network issues or having to reboot to get voice network back but nothing as bad as I'm experiencing.
Both our phones are and have been completely stock and unmodified.
Thankfully we still have her Vibrant and in case I need to send mine in my Nexus One.

This over-writes the radio firmware, you should give it a go!

Is that true? I am just on the verge of calling samsung. My phone won't connect to or display any available networks, and is pretty much now dumbed down to a small tablet. I've tried everything except another persons nandroid backup. I've been told to stay away from flashing another persons... but I'm really desperate.
If you could provide me with a backup, that would be awesome.
I'm having identical problem.
It was working fine yesterday, look back to it and now it's got no mobile network, nothing. Just the no bars and cross symbol. I've tried wiping dalvik cache, reflashing the radio, wiping data/factory reset, reflashing the rom, restoring with a backup (Backup of when I first rooted the phone) and still no signal. Nothing has worked..
Anyone got ideas on how to fix this issue?

Can you search for and view available networks?
This sounds like the CM7 powerwidget problem (3g/2g) I used it and I loss all network, phone process will crash every second, however if your phones are stock I can't think in anything causing it.
For CM7 you'll have to reflash and delete userdata or edit the sql database for the providers and change a value to 0, but you need root.
When I went to *#*4636.... my preferred service was "unknown" too, but now it is OK.
Try to dail:
*#*#4636#*#*
and find your network information.

Nope. Sits their 'searching' but nothing shows up.
In, *#*#4636#*#*, it gives little to no information. Just says nothing for current network and for GSM disconnects it has,
Sate: DvInactiveState
disconnected with last try
at 9:59AM
fail because No Error
And that time never changes, stays at 9:59AM.
As my above post suggested, I've tried doing a factory reset and reflashing. I don't think I use CM.. I flashed with Oxygen 2.1.6 (using it's kernel) but I restored to Oxygen rom and trinity kernel after it didn't work.

Ok, it'd be great if you worked something out. I'm so glad i'm not the only person with this issue!
Anyone had any breakthroughs? *hopeful*
I wouldn't call it a breakthrough but I got somewhere!
Ended up putting a extremely thin piece of wire into the external antenna port at the back of the phone. Wasn't too keen on doing this, but my phone now has reception isn't stuck at the dreaded -113dbm.
The reception isn't good, but it's enough to send texts and have calls.
Although the area needs quite good reception for me to receive anything, and it's extremely sensitive. To get 3 bars in a place where I usually get full bars, I have to be outside. While inside it's reduced to none or 1 bar, which is enough to send/receive texts and a sort of lagging phone call (did a few tests). As mentioned before extremely sensitive. The phone seems to like it better when it's up-right. In the middle of the CBD at Brisbane I get full reception and 3G, which is fine but in the places where you usually get 2 bars, you get no signal at all, unless you're outside.
So this is hardly a fix. I will most likely be sending it to Samsung to get it actually fixed. Either that or get it fixed the same day and pay probably close to $100 so I don't have to wait 2 months waiting for Samsung to twiddle their thumbs.
Thats awesome! But I'm going to post mine off to Samsung USA tomorrow, which will take forever considering international shipping. Where could you get it fixed same-day? I'm going to try this wire thing
So it can't be a software issue, but maybe the rom overloaded the antenna and fried it or something? I'm glad we've got that far.

Its more serious than that my friend! Thanks anyway
I got a quote from a place in Brissy called "FixMyMobile" and they said if they can fix it, it will cost $99. Although I'll get quotes from different places (if I find them) and see what they charge however I don't think I will be able to get cheaper, most likely around the same price..
So I may do that to not wait the ridiculous time it will take to get it back from Samsung.. Not sure on places in NZ though.
Yeah it seems like a hardware issue definitely. I eventually reverted the phone back to stock everything and it still happened, so that there shouts hardware issue.

[Q] No longer receiving sms in stock messaging app

Using stock sense and sprint/gv integration and i can receive texts in gv as well as send them from the stock messaging app and gv.
i've contacted sprint on the phone a couple times and got to the highest level tech support and they couldn't fix it. also tried the sprint store and they just want to give me another evo. they have one on order, but i'd much rather keep my rooted evo! the new one will likely have 2.3 installed stock and i'll need to wait for root.
this really doesn't seem like a hardware issue anyways, seems like it's a network side problem.
i've made sure sms forwarding is enabled to my mobile number on gv, tried factory and hard resets multiple times. tried unintegrating and reintegrating my sprint number with gv.
the weird thing is even when i'm unintewgrated and using just vanilla sprint i don't receive texts at all. i can send them, make and receive calls too but never does a text come to my phone.
there doesn't seem to be anyone else reporting this problem i8n my area.
phone is rooted, stock rom, the problem started after iu hard reset my phone. i was hoping a hard reset would fix some buis i was experiencing with the GB update. i can't say for sure this was because i hard reset, buit it's a huge coincidence that it happened at approximately the same time. i can't think of any logical reason the hard reset would affect my sms this way.
btw i installed a rooted version of 2.3.3 as well as the latest combo radio pack. that was over a week ago though and this issue just cropped up yesterday.
hopefully this post wasn't too jumbled and i gave enough info, any ideas?
edit: crap, should be in the Q&A forum, please move if necessary :/

sprint is ordering me another phone, hoping against it being a refurb, though then i likely have to wait for a new root method for gingerbread.
preferably they'd get it working on my current evo. i really think it has to be a network issue.

You should be good, I had two replacement refurbs as early as last week and they both had 3.7 on them. Watch for the sunspot on the screen when it boots initially (bright white spot in the lower half towards the middle), both of the refurb replacements had the bad screen. You can't see it if it boots all the way..you'll have to go to a bright screen to see it but it will just get worse to where you will see it all the time. Finally the rep gave me a NIB 004..also 3.7. Just make sure they don't update it, I would ask if you could do the activation as well so you can look for the screen issue on initial boot. Good Luck! Guess I didn't have to quote due to it being right above mine...lmao
Think they'll give me any trouble if I turn in my phone still rooted? I don't feel like unrooting it, not to mention if the new/refurb doesn't fix my issue I'm going to keep my current evo anyways.
I mean they've already approved me for the replacement.
I had the same problem
I had the exact same situation happen last weekend. All I did to fix it was to flash back to a Stock Sense 2.2 ROM, Update Profile/PRL, and then open EPST and Reset Data connection using THIS little tutorial.

Ya..did all that and then some to mine..no dice. But good advice. Hardware issue won't be solved by software no matter the method I found out. Believe me..even went as far as unrooting and seeing if stock would be the same..it was.
The unrooting process is very easy and with the replacement coming in, why not. Sounds like hardware anyway. Here is what I did to go back and forth:

doesn't seem like hardware at all to me though. and if that's the case and I unroot and end up keeping this phone i just shot myself in the foot by locking my bootloader.
i wish i would have had them try activating another phone today to see if another phone would be able to receive the texts.
No need to unroot! Go to voice.google.com, click on the "gear" icon to go into Voice Settings. Find your gv/sprint phone number, click Edit and check the checkbox for "receive text messages on this device." Hit save, and enjoy.

that's only the FIRST thing I tried, along with unchecking, rechecking, removing integration, readding it..twice! and about a dozen combinations of applying settings, checking and unchecking boxes and finger crossing.

Apologies, but you didn't mention that you did this in your post. Had no way of knowing that you've already tried this.

I actually did in my first post, though that post is a bit of a mess I realize, it's hard to really put everything I've already tried in any neat order.
No worries either way, any suggestions are welcome at this point.

MikG INC 3.0 ROM on roaming

I had downloaded 1 of Mik's roms a while back (version 2.0.1 to be exact) and saw this 3.0 as his latest work on his website so figured I would give it a try. I see that he is aware that there are still remnants of this ROM that was made for Sprint EVO devices apparently, but I'm having a unique issue.
Whenever I attempt to make a call it alerts me that I am in roaming mode (which I double checked and i have it checked OFF so my DINC will dont roam) and if I would like to continue anyway. When my lock screen comes up it says "Verizon Network" on top and I am receiving and able to send text messages just fine. I have not seen anyone else having this issue in the forums and the last thing I want is to receive a higher bill from Verizon at the end of the month because of a new ROM. Also, the alert is simply annoying.
Please help.

Sounds like you need to update your prl. You do this by dialing *228 and selecting option 2.
I forgot to mention that that's the first thing I did. I even accepted the alert and went with it anyway knowing it wouldn't take but a minute. It programmed the phone successfully.
Still occuring obviously.

Hmm not sure then. I know sprint ported roms tend to be touchy on the verizon network. I gave up on using them after synergy rom awile back, because my data connection would constantly break, requiring a compleete ruu and factory reset to get it working again. Just flashing a new rom wouldnt fix it.
Have you tried flashing the .0808 evo radio. I know it works on the incredible and mabey since its a sprint ported rom the evo radio would work better, or mabey not just a sugestion.
Its in call settings or wireless and networks. It's called roam guard. Unchecked it and you'll be fine.

I actually had to turn ON data roaming to check off Data Roam Guard. It didn't work. But out of desperation I checked OFF Call Guard and that fixed it. Maybe that's the option that you meant. Either way, the alert has stopped and my outgoing calls no longer give me that message while I have roaming OFF.
Thanks for the replies.

Doing this on sprint ROMs have a tendency to break data. I don't recommend doing this. Also other development don't recommend it either. If you start having data issues, you may need to go back to stock, redo *228, the reflash what you want. I'm currently running my port of MikG 3.0 and have not had the warning. I did what you have done and its fine. I've made sure that the NETWORK thinks we are in fact Verizon, but the ROM somehow thinks we are Sprint.

Yes. Sorry. That's what I meant, my girlfriend had more attention at the time then my phone. We all know where that goes.
