I finally got around to flashing EP4D last night and every since I have no 3G/4G data. I tried several flashes with no luck. I tried to revert back to what I had still no data. I tried to go back to EE4 with pit file and still no data. i tried to flash just modems and still nothing. Took it back to stock EE4 and allowed to update to EP4D and called Verizon. They reset something and had me reboot and call #882. The message says you are successful..... NO data still. Took it to store and they said it was defective but because the water strip had a smudge from when I had the battery out it will not be covered under warranty. I have ODIN'd and CMW numerous times with this phone and never had an issue. I don't think it is defective as it was working fine before and everything still works fine now except no data connection.
Any ideas?
not your fault. 4G is dead across the country.

There is a major nationwide data outage going on right now. It started in spotty places last night and spread throughout the day today. They finally acknowledged it about an hour ago. Wait until all this is over before assuming anything about your phone.

Most likely do to the 4g outage. The only way you would lose your data from an Odin flash is to check the EFS CLEAR box on Odin. So as long as you didn't do that, I wouldn't worry about it. Your data should come back!

They had some issues with some of the central switches in which they weren't authenticating SIM cards correctly.
Data connections (1X, 3G CDMA, and 4G LTE) are authenticated using the SIM card so if they have issues authenticating SIM cards data connections won't be established. Phone calls and SMS messages, though they use CDMA, that is authenticated via the IMEI code which is unique to the phone and that they have no issues authenticating so that's why people can continue to make phone calls yet have no data.

I lost all data on my phone today but was able to find a fix incase I am not the only one
I have been running Liquid Rom and I have not changed anything for the past few days but suddenly lost all data 3G and 4G.
Verizon support was no help however I was able to fix it by doing the folowing.
Dial ##778#
hit Call
Hit Edit Mode
Type PW of 000000
Hit OK
Hit Modem Settings
Look for REV A and hit it
Select Enable instead of eHRPD
select ok
Hit Menu
Hit Commit Changes
Restart
Got Data Back and am still able to do Voice and Data at same time.
I was told there are some problems with verizons new eHRPD network which is supposed to be what handles Voice and Data Simulcast but as I said I can still surf and talk at the same time.
Just posting incase anyone else runs into this problem.
Update... Verizon sending new phone as I am tired of not having 4g I will post more when I get it
Already done.

i just wanted to visit forums and post my findings. Yesterday i lost all data on my device and i tried everything to get it back. I am rooted and after a flashed a kernel everything just dropped. i could only make phone calls and that was it. i tried switching roms, kernels, data/factory resets(including wiping cache and davlik) and with no avail i was stuck. i tried the ##778# method and eventually got 3g back but this should only be a temporary fix because you can lose 4g alltogether and may not be able to simultaneously use voice and data(on other threads i've seen one person say he has been able to i think that may be this thread). this method is known to verizon but is not condoned by them. Anyway what i had to do was take my device back to stock, no root, with s-on, and factory reset my device in bootloader in order to get my signal back. I since have re-rooted and restored a nandroid and everything is still working, so if you run into this issue and it is not on verizons end, this may be your only option. yes it is pita, but so far it is the only option other than the ##778# method and that should not be a permanent fix. here is the back to stock method by jcase

Verizon sent me a new phone. I set the rev a back to ehprd on my original phone then removed the battery and sim and placed into new phone and instantly had 4g back. So just to see I put battery and sim back on rooted original phone and to my surprise 4g was back. Will post more after I run it for a while. Perhaps the sim needed reprovisioned?

This is true. The people at verizon did this to my phone once when I had the same problem.
been searching for 10+ hours and no luck or solution.
i was on gummycharged ep1f/ep1h rom and everything was working fine until today.
i don't know what triggered it, but my phone just restarted and then lost all signal.
after searching and looking at phone info, i found first line under baseband version shows "unknown".
tried flashing to every possible roms out there using odin and it would not bring the phone back to life.
funny thing is i have no problem w/ 4glte service, which allows me to surf and download but no voice service.....
do i have no choice but to go to verizon for replacement phone?
thank you.

yeah I'd take it into them, sounds like some hardware got fried.. however I'd probably try to flash a froyo rom for whatever good it'd do, if they somehow can check baseband and it shows GB your warranty is void and they will not fix or replace it
blazing through on my VZ Droid Charge 4G
found this over in the Galaxy s 9000 forum (wc8 posted it)
Mine now works fine
so what was the cause - still no idea
so what did help - rebooting the phone couple of times without the sim inside
heads up !
worth a try and not my fault if something blows up...

Isnt it sad that we (everyone including devs and XDA as well as casual helpers like me) have to put that final line in there so they dont get blamed/flamed if things get f'd up?

Had the same problem with my Fascinate. After a flash I lost all 3G and phone capabilities. What I did was reset my phone line with the esn of an old phone I had lying around. Go to this thread. It will show you what you need to do.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051543. I took mine to Verizon, and also spent hours with tech support and, to no avail. This esn swap did the trick. Good luck.
did the stuff you were flashing include the radios? like this one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172182
or this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111486
yes, all the roms i flashed had full radio from ED1, ED2, EE4, EP1F
none worked....
i'll try to search and see if esn method works that someone mentioned above.
keeping my fingers crossed....
currently, phone is @ stock ee4 unrooted w/ no baseband for cdma radio.
if anyone else is having same problem, do not run esn swap!!!
it will cancel your unlimited data and there is no way to bring it back.
thank god i read it before i tried it....
phone still no go with unknown baseband.....
HELP?!?!? PLEASE?

i called Verizon and had them do it over the phone. In other words, they moved my line to a dummy ESN on their end and some random number to my phone and then switched it right back, all while my phone was off, so when my phone was turned back on it got re provisioned on their network, which fixed my 3G data issues......but i dont think this is the OP's solution. When i had that problem I had phone service, just intermittent or no 3g data is all

You won't lose your unlimited data unless you switch to an ESN that is not a smartphone. I have switched my line a couple times and still have unlimited.

I am not sure abotu this (not saying it is wrong but I never tried) I say take the 20 minutes on the phone with VZW and let them do it...
UPDATE
took it to verizon store twice, got sim cards replaced twice at two different locations.
still no go, rep recommended me to contact replacement center.
talk to tech for and hour trying to figure it out,
the tech announced that my cdma radio is fried.....
so i asked when i'll get the replacement and he said sometime on tuesday.
and i asked if i could use my really old LG non-smart phone for time being and he said i'll loose my unlimited data and moved to 2gb tiered data plan...
so i guess i'll be out of service until tuesday....

Hey I believe ya, I am just in the better safe than sorry frame of mind when it comes to the unlimited data structure. It does make sense though since i did switch from the fascinate to the charge without losing it
they told me this will only work if you went from smart phone to another smart phone.
however, if you went to non smart phone and then smart phone, you'd lose your unlimited plan.
I'm surprised this couldn't be fixed with a software flash. I came from a Samsung Epic and this was a regular occurrence on at least one of the Gingerbread leaks. Happened to me at least once - used ODIN and reflashed the whole shebang (full TAR with modem) and got it back up and running.
i wish there was an easy fix like you said.
then i don't have to wait for them to send me replacement device and also saves me from hassle of reapplying invisible shield. the maximum protection kit is pain in the ass to apply.
i've flashed with every single rom+radio out there in many different order with both odin 1.3/1.7/1.8 and samsung pstlite.
i've also tried flashing radio only and still no luck.
I did an ODIN flashed Gummy_GBE1.9RC1 Rom and then did a CWR flash of the MinimalGummyGBv2.0 theme over. When I went to My Verizon to switch over from my Incredible 2 to my Charge but only the SIM card registered. So now I can access 4G and get online but I can't make phone calls or send SMS/MMS over 1X or 3G.
I called Verizon they said play the waiting game. I've waited for 24 hours, activated my Incredibe again (successfully) then tried the Charge again, multiple times, (different SIMs) with no prevail, still only recieving 4G.
I just flashed the EP1W modem, and got the same results as before...
VZW then suggested a wipe... Took so long to get it the way I wanted it. lol
Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen or heard about it before?

I don't quite understand what's going on here with the My Verizon and and Incredible 2?? you had a Charge that you flashed all that to and then tried to switch phones?
When I was first starting with flashing I accidently checked "EFS CLEAR" once. That was real interesting, it caused me to lose all data services like net connection, but still let me make phone calls. I find it very interesting that your problem seems to be the complete opposite. I figured that one out after a while, but if your problem is with phone calls and texts with data working I don't think my solution would help you.
IMO you should just suck it up and odin back to stock, including the charge.pit file, and see if the problem remains.

Check under phone info and see what your baseband version is.
There is a dumb little problem that I've seen pop up a few times where the IMEI goes missing and the baseband number with it... then this happens...
If the sim card isnt being read at all, as in (please insert sim), shouldnt matter with imei as imei has nothing to do with service. Even with a null/ 000000000 imei, calling, texting, data all works. Its probably your sim card tray.
If your sim card is read, but just no bars, etc, then try reflashing and factory resetting.

I had the same problem a month ago, and found a good handful of threads on it. Most of those threads also reported missing base band and imei. I resolved it by flashing back to 100% stock and starting over. Not saying it'll fix you for sure but it worked for me.

Had a similar issue a few months ago, flashed a different ROM and it went away. Not sure is it was a coincidence but recently upgraded to stock KJ6, everything was fine for a few days then all of a sudden no T-Mobile network/ Manually logged on, crappy signal, white 4G icon, calls dropping, I can hear caller, they can't hear me etc... Figured the network might be swamped due to Thanksgiving holiday, waited a day but it got even worse. My wife's SGS4G meanwhile continues to have great signal- not a sim issue as I swapped hers in to my phone and it still sucked. Called T-mobile tech support, new phone arrives this Friday. They blamed it on the upgrade to VUVKJ6, I wan't going to argue with them as I didn't have the phone insurance (I do on the new one) and they said that because it happened after the KJ6 upgrade it was on them .... it only cost me $20 for a brand new replacement.
I do have to say that T-Mobile customer service kicks ass.
Try flashing a different rom to see if itll fix the problem. The last resort would be resoldering. Try all other options first.

Thanks for the replies. I tried flashing to 100 percent stock and nothing changes. It doesn't matter what I flash to or how many times I restore factory setting and wipe all user data. I always end up with a phone that doesn't detect the T-mobile sim card or the network. I requested an exchange for 20 dollars since my phone is still under warranty... I hope I will be able to flash to a different ROM next time without the same problem.

I seem to be in the same predicament after flashing KJ6.
Spent the whole day flashing different ROMs, to no avail.
Guess my only option is contacting t-mo, and see if i can get a replacement.
Will they know if i updated through Kies, or Odin?
i'm in the same boat. bought my phone unlocked through amazon two months ago and upgraded to stock KJ6 through Kies when tmo released it. worked fine until two days ago. SIM works in other phones, IMEI number looks good, APN settings look good. Haven't tried switching to other builds because all the threads I've seen here at xda and other forums seem to show that doesn't change anything.
didn't realize how much i liked my phone until i went to the backup motorola zine the last few days. bogus.
Before you send your phone back make sure it is 100 percent stock ROM and not rooted. Also, factory reset and wipe all user data.

I did know all that. Just wasn't sure of they could still tell I didn't do it through Kies.
Anyway, just contacted T-Mobile, and my new phone should be here Monday.
Awesome customer service.
My t-mobile exchange phone arrived and I upgraded to latest GB via Kies and then I flashed Dr. Honks latest kernel and everything works. No network or sim problems.
I am really happy with T-mobile customer service too. My phone arrived only 3 or 4 days after I requested an exchange. No questions asked.
From what I have been reading on the forums, it doesn't matter if the phone was upgraded via kies or flashed via odin. The phone just has to have 100 percent stock
Damn having the same problem,no sim card detected.No baseband,no IMEI.Went stock via Odin,nothing.Went to stock Froyo and still nothing :-(
sgs4g, same problem...only mine im sure is the sim tray. this was a refurbished phone i bought from craigslist, brand new.
stock froyo, gb, rooted ocataine, doesnt matter- every few weeks it would say insert sim..
Now im just gonna call and tell them it happened after the upgrade because it was there faulty phone to begin with.. now how can i go back to perfectly stock? and does that mean i should send it back on froyo or gb?
I've had/am having this problem. I brought my phone to the UK and I had this issue when I tried a new carrier. 3 weeks ago I was able to plug my phone in to the charger and then put it in airplane mode and out and I had no issues until I tried a 3rd carrier today and now the issue is back and my previous fix isn't working. Because I'm not using T-mobile and bought the phone off of a friend I'm hoping I can find a way to fix this without sending in my phone because that really isn't an option.

Glad you found the battery fix, I have stated that fix in a couple of threads, and started a thread called No carrier signal + IMEI problems = Take out your battery, but it has been pushed down like 3 pages cause no one comments on it.

The link you posted is no good, can you tell me where it was at? Also what are all of the steps to get SIM or IMEI working again just the remove SIM and Battery for 10 Minutes?
There are a lot of people who flash custom ROMS on Telus, Rogers, Wind and T-Mobile who have this problem and if what you are saying works then that needs to go viral. What is strange is that some have the issue same ROM and Phone and others don't it's a hard issue to try an troubleshoot to say the least.
Any more info on this subject would be awesome bro.

Hi guys,
First off, yes, I am definitely in a LTE coverage area.
I was in Europe recently and use a few different carriers over there. Prior to my trip I was on LTE pretty much 24/7 rarely venturing beyond into 3G territory. When I got back and inserted my VZW SIM the phone wasn't connecting to the data network. I tried looking up how to activate and my friend told me to dial *228. I now see that doing that from an LTE phone is a bad idea. It activated my phone and I now have 3G data, but I cannot get LTE anywhere.
Is there a way to fix this or did I kill my SIM by dialing *228 and need to get a new one? How can I reactivate my SIM for LTE?
Edit: I spoke with Verizon techs who tried resetting my connecting from their end. I noticed that the PRN went from beginning with 53### to 15### which cursory checks tells me that it should be good for LTE. Still nothing by 3G.
I then went to a Verizon store, and they gave me a new SIM. The phone gave no appearance of activating and the data network would not connect at all. Texts / Voice calls worked though.
My next step was to restore the phone from a nandroid backup done prior to my trip when everything was working fine (including LTE). It restored, and I had data, but again, only 3G.
So next I performed a factory restore. The phone booted back to the initial 'welcome' screen. The first screen said 'activating your phone' and after a minute... 3G.
At this point I don't know what else to do. Should I try to return the phone to a fully stock state?
I'm running Digitalhigh GPE, and I know I'm a few versions behind, but I'm on the latest baseband.
Bump. Can anyone help? It's killing me being stuck on 3G. I've tried upgrading to GPE 5.1 and back to 5.0.1 with no changes.
Do you think I should try to return to stock? How do I even do that from where I am? I would need the stock ROM, kernel, radios, and recovery right?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I would start by re flashing the full set of radios in Tigerstown thread...
In your Network Settings > Mobile Data > Preferred network, there's several different modes there ( LTE, global, 3g) I'm not 100% sure if you even have access to these settings in GPE?
Edit: Simplest way to return to a stock rom to test...
I'd say nandroid backup (just in case)
Wipe data and cache in recovery. I also do a "Factory Reset" just for the heck of it. Do NOT wipe internal memory or ext SD. Otherwise you will loose anything else on your phone such as pics, downloads, etc.
Then just download a stock rom, or really any Sense 6/7 Rom and flash it. There shouldn't be any more to it.
Before you do anything though, I would definitely reflash the full firmware set to knock that out of the way.
