No signal or data

I'm not skyraider Zeus preview and have no no issues till last night. Now all of a sudden since last night I have not been able to get 1x, 3g anything and signal drops. Have multiple lines on verizon and the rest of the phones are fine. Really don't want to change roms but will if I have to.

Have you tried to just reload the rom on top of what you have now?
Have you tried to restore a backup?

Okay I just restored a backup of liquid gingersense and same problem... Starting to get a bit scared.

Alright flashed the brand new GB radio from "someplace." Still have same problem. Sometimes I have full bars but no 3g and can't get calls tried to test and calls don't go through so my phone is kinda pointless... I'm really panicking I need this thing...

When you installed the new radio did you also install the LTE radio?

Honestly no clue how would I be able to tell? I've installed nearly every radio and never has two separate radio files.

There are not two separate radios to install. If you downloaded MR3, it will work if you're on a GB Rom. If you're on a froyo Rom then you need a froyo radio.
Also check to make sure your battery door is completely attached. Your antennas are in the door and it must be attached.

Were you running a leaked radio when you had this problem first off?

I was running the OTA MR2 radio since release never had any problems then last night out of nowhere it just happened. Have been scrambling ever since.

Went back to MR2 radio now since I know it's not a radio issue. Battery door is completely sealed. Checked to see if the metal was bent in any way and it's not.
EDIT: Every time I reboot it gains bars back for a bit but no 3g. I've tried calling during this period to no avail. Then it looses bars with just an x over them. The one thing I am thinking is there any possibility that the sim just died...

Did you check your mobile network settings? Are you on LTE only mode possibly?

As goofy as it sounds, when I first rooted my TB awhile back I completely lost signal then was able to pick up 1x and that was it. I did a factory reset on the device (as instructed by VZW), and it actually worked. Nothing else had been done to the device besides a root, no one else could figure out what exactly went wrong, but the wipe restored it back to "factory" root and it worked perfectly.

No LTE/CDMA. I have done like 30 factory resets lol. Called Verizon to make sure there was no outage. I'm getting a new device (Not refurbished shockingly) over-nighted. The big bummer is having to reroot and such, but hey the guy was nice about it and everthing so no complaints. I can live without it for one day. Thanks for all your help guys!

No data connection for the second time. Phone killing sim!

I am getting no data connection at all and I'm in a location where I get 4g normally . This is the second time it has done this. No matter what setting I change or reboots I do nothing helps. The first time it happened I took it to Verizon and they replaced the sim card and then it worked just fine until today just a few days later. So today I did a factory reset back to gummgummycharge 2. 2. 1 root. And I'm still not getting any connection to ANY data.
What should I do? I'm not all that great with rom's and what not. Please feel free to ask any questins. I Cnt check this from my phone anymore :-(
Ill do anything I have to to fix this even if it included smashing it with a hammer to get it replaced by insurance!

This doesn't matter. Pulling sim during flashing was for older phones, and it isn't an issue now.
If it keeps frying sims, it's probably a defective phone. Reflash to stock, go to Verizon, and get a different one.
Sent from my Droid Charge running Infinity Beta

I thought this was just me. I've gone through 2 phones and finally requested a new sim yesterday. Never had issues with either phone until I flashed the new rom.
I've just re-flashed gummy 2.0 after installing the new sim and I'm curious to see what happens.

[Q] No 3g data! Verizon sending replacement, need to delete traces of root!!!

Ok, here's my issue for some reason, for the last three weeks or so my phone dropped my data connection, i live in a 3g only zone,
i called verizon to see if they could fix it, they gave me a trouble ticket but nothing was resolved, i took a trip to ontario, ca, and my 4g worked no problem, but when i tried to switch to 3g, to see if it was fixed, the data never came on, I got home and my friend stopped by and he has a Thunderbolt to i asked if we could switch sims to test it out, my phone miraculously got data back and his also had it so i done know whats happening, i switch the sims back and again my phone had no data, at this point i am seriously confused as to why the data worked on both phones when we swapped the sims.
and then, a few days later my my 3g data came back, i was glad and thought verizon figured it out, but then 3 days later it dropped out again, i call Verizon again, and they told me my issue was not necessarily resolved,
This is what the rep told me:
"Our network engineers have identified the issue as a coverage problem, there is a site plan for your area but due to budget cuts it will come around in 24-36 months, as of now your best solution is a network repeater."
Seriously? months...
anyways i argued with the rep that this wasnt just in my area it was anywhere that ive gone and i have another phone of the same exact model on my plan that does not have this issue.
the rep told me that they would send me a replacement, to see if that would fix my problem.
So in reality I have 2 Questions,
First off, Any ideas on what i can do to try to get my 3g back up?
and second, if it comes to this, How can i make sure that my phone is completely free of any trace of root,
I plan on flashing the All-in-one EE4 stock rom (no root) and letting it update itself through the ota and wifi to ep4
will this do the trick?
i just don't want to be charged what could possibly be the full retail price for my phone.
My Current setup:
ROM: Tweakstock 1.1
Kernel: Imoseyon 4.0
V6 Supercharge (just installed today in hopes of keeping my phone) from Zeppelinrox
3g Turbo Charger (also installed today in hopes of bringing 3g back) from Zeppelinrox
new phone well be here on monday so i need to know how to do either of these within 6 days
*forgot to add that this also happened the day right after the ota for Gingerbread hit my phone, and now that i think about it, the other Charge I have on my phone plan has not chosen to install the Ota because its on a ROM that she wants to keep

update
flashed EE4,
during the setup process it showed the 3g in the notification bar, but no activity, got to where it asks for gmail, couldnt set it up until i connected to wifi, then 3g dissapeared,
turned off wifi, and 3g never came back,
went to Settings>About Phone>Status:
Network: Verizon Wireless
Signal Strength: -85dBm
Mobile network type: eHRPD
Service State: In Service
Roaming: Not Roaming
Mobile Network State: Disconnected <------ every now and then it flickers to connecting but changes back almost immediately.
will update to ep4 through ota to see if that does anything

Try going to a store and getting a new SIM.

Weird, flashed tweakstock with its own kernel and v6 supercharger, then this morning my data is back again

Well since its pointless to try and troubleshoot my 3g now, i am still considering on swapping with the phone they sent, mine is a little scratched (very minor) so how do i make any previous mods invisible to vzw?

SamsungPST is what they use at Verizon stores to flash Samsung devices. Not sure whether it has any difference from Odin as far as flashing goes, but you never know.

Good point and will do

ok this is what i did,
1. installed a brand new 2gb sd,
*the "certified" phone came without sd, sim(obviously), battery or back cover, and it arrived with ep4 installed*
2. loaded ee4 stock rom and charge.pit using samsungPST,
3. checked the repartition box and left the rest unchecked, and flashed it.
4. rebooted and skipped activation steps,
5. connected to my wifi and let it download ep4
6. installed ep4
does this leave the phone 100% stock now?

Yes, sounds like you did a thorough restore job, you'll be fine.

Here what I did to return my phone:
Use Odin to flash pit file and OTA original(can be found on this site). took my sd and sim out (Verizon reps told me to do so). Wait for new phone arrived then send back the old one.That's it.

Sim card not allowing connections? [Help]

Flashed a few roms on my phone and never bricked it whats so ever. It shows the IMEI, how ever it doesnt match the IMEI it have on on the back of the phone. The phone came with 2.2.1 Froyo and i upgraded it with ODIN using KJ6 2.3.6 GB rom. I can connect to wifi and such. It's not the sim card cause it works with all my friends tmobile phones. I get bars on the phone with the sim card in it. But when i attempt to make a call it says "Not registered to Network" i went to Settings>Wireless and network>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names, i went there to do the APN Manually i tried setting it to Default and it didnt help either.
Anyone know's how to fix this?

Alright , Im giving it 20mins. Hopefully it works. It's been too long and i'm starting to give up on this phone.

Still having a problem, You know any other solutions? I don't wanna have to pay for a new phone lol. If you do can you have it in FULL DETAILS. Cause i want to make sure i have have every thing correct.

I got all day to try to fix this. I don't want to try reflashing things cause i don't know if i can mess it up or cause more problems.

So.... you have flashed a few ROMs..... meaning you have at least ONE nandroid back up from when the phone worked?
If you do... you are good to go. If you don't..... good luck to you. You have what sounds like a generic IMEI.

Well i don't, didn't know i have to. So in other words it's impossible to get this phone back on?

I had the same issue with my phone, it just wouldn't stay on Network, and the SIM would go back and forth from being recognized or not. I flashed back to stock and it still didn't work. The ten minute battery pull was suggested in another thread and a few people swear it works. Mine played up before this was suggested so I never tried it.
I had the same thing happen with my wifes phone and all I could link it to was the Kj6 modem...see link below. I reflashed the whole ROM and it came back.
With my phone I just called T-Mo and told them that since I upgraded to 2.3.6 via Kies that my phone wasn't working properly (Technically true, but a little stretch). I flashed Bhundvens 1click to stock, factory reset, etc...etc... then paid $20 and got a replacement phone via UPS in about 4 days.
I not saying you are having the same problem as I did, but it sounds very similar.
As a side note, the replacement SGS4G (refurb) they sent me absolutely blows my original handset out of the water when it comes to signal strength. I get solid 4G speeds of 5MB+ in my house, where before I only got patchy edge. I was amazed at the huge difference in performance between two supposedly identical handsets.
I hope you can get this remedied without an exchange, but you should be able to get a new one for $20 as a last resort.

Back ups are suggested all over this forum. Now you know. It is not impossible... google 'generic imei' and look at the dozens of ways people have had success and failure trying to remedy it. There are a ton of threads in the SGS 4G forum alone.
And whether you fix it or get a new phone... make a back up of your efs folder FIRST thing along with a nandroid back up. It will save your ass if this ever happens again.

Problem with MMS

I've had a lot of problems with receiving and sending MMS lately.
As always, T-Mobile has been no help and has said everything is working fine on their end.
When i try to send it just says "sending and never does anything" and i usually don't get people's pictures.
I've even tried to change ROMS and still have the same problem. I'm currently on the ICS AOSP one.
Any help?

Did you lose your imei when flashing? That is typically the only reason to not be able to send texts if you have service otherwise.

Are you sure that you have your data turned on? MMS won't send or receive without it

and yes my data is on. When i try to send it says "sending..." and never does anything (has said it for over 12 hours now) in the mean time ive done other things using data such as web browsing and using apps. So i know my data works.

Factory reset/data wipe. It sucks to have to set the phone back up but Im sure it will help.

Whenever that happens I send an mms to myself. Somebody from t mobile said that would fix it, maybe in the my touch 4g forum, had no idea why though. Something worth trying at any rate

I actually just did that yesterday. Didn't solve the problem. I also reflashed AOKP. That didn't work. I restored to a backup of Milestone 6-1. That didn't work. I reflashed KJ6 modem. That didn't work. I flashed KG4 modem. That also didn't work. So far the only thing that seems to give me some data is running it on 2G only. I think on Monday, I'm going in to get the phone exchanged for a new one, and I'll just do a fresh flash right out of the box to ICS from stock GB. (Of course, following all the directions.)

I'd thought about doing that, I guess I'll try it right now, since I've got time. Would I be able to just install SGS Kernel Flasher and flash AntonX's kernel from that after using Heimdall to stock rooted?
EDIT: Sorry I'm kind of hijacking this thread, but I Heimdalled back to stock, but I'm still having the connectivity issues. I have full 4G signal, but data is crawling to the point where the connection times out before I can even load anything. When I set it to GSM only (EDGE), I can get data, but not the 4G speeds I'm paying for. Reverting to Plan A and getting it replaced on Monday. (I hear it's possible it's a SIM card problem too...) Thanks for the help though.
