This is by far the strangest problem I'm facing with my Nexus S
I've two SIM cards from two different networks. one is GSM 900 and anothe is GSM 1800
Both the SIMs are perfectly ok and functioning very well in my Nokia X2.
But one of the SIMs (GSM 900) is not getting any network in my Nexus S.
Interestingly I've been using this very SIM (GSM 900) in my nexus for last one month.
Just to give a background, I'm facing this problem when I flashed the latest 2.3.7 stock ROM.
I tried flashing other ROMs aswell...Currenyly I'm on MIUI...but no Luck ! And Yes, the Other SIM is working absolutely fine with my Nexus and fine with both the ROMS !
Please Help !
If I'm not mistaken I believe 2.3.7 is an update for nexus s 4g models only and not GSM. That is a very good chance as to why your network doesn't work.

But it was Getting network. And My other SIM is getting network in that OS.
BTW, I've flashed a different ROM (MIUI)....No luck with the new ROM...
frequency base band problems perhaps ?
Yes, its Reading 1800 SIMs but not 900 SIMS.
all what you said so far indicates that the problem was caused by the new binary.
it seems the hardware is working fine.
what is the software version of your phone?
download an official version of Nexus S and you'll be fine.
tell me what you see in the "about phone"
Android Version: 2.3.5
Baseband Version: I9020XXKD1
Currently I'm in MIUI. Searching for the official version of 2.3.4

2.3.7 is for the cdma nexus s 4g not a GSM model. Try reflashing the correct radios for your phone.

I've tried Flashing Radios. But Yet its the same scenario !
Getting network with a GSM 1800 sim. Not with GSM 900 SIM (Unfortunately this is my official number)
Can anyone suggest the exact stock ROM for my sns. I tried to search here in XDA, but not finding the exact one.
the sticker in back says my SNS model is GT-I9020
Some files may stuck in /system partition when you flash something, and good idea is to format /system from CWM recovery (you can find it under mounts and storage section) and flash rooted flash rom from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664.
It's always a bad thing to flash something that is not meant for your device.
Formating /system before you flash stock rom. Hope that could fix your problem too, but I'm not sure . Just a suggestion ...

I've flashed this from Google
http://android.clients.google.com/p...206299fe6.signed-soju-ota-121341.da820629.zip
Now my about phone looks like this :
Androd Version : 2.3.6
Baseband: I9020AUCKF1
Build No. GRk39C
Yet, its not getting network.
Should I take it that I've lost my Nexus.
Thanks for you reply Tenhi.
I tried formating Everything ! and also Flashed the Stcok ROM (NSGSM-GRJ22-deodexed-KD1-rooted)
But no Luck.
Interestingly, today I found that the set is getting network in Some places, mostly where the network strength is very strong. And functioning very well with GSM 1900 carriers. But facing the problem with GSM 900 carriers only.
Isn't there anyway to get back to Factory Settings or something like this...?
Don't know what else to say. Apparently the NS4G 2.3.7 ROM changed something permanently, and you can't reverse it with flashing another ROM/Radio/Kernel. Unfortunately I don't have any more suggestions . Hope you will find a way to fix it ...
Yet to get a way to fix it.
Strange problem I'm in.
Now looking for a nandroid backup. (Downloading this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059914)

At this point I'm loosing hope...

I had one Stock ROM backup (2.3.3). I flashed it today. Which updated the Radio to KB3 also.
But the problem persisted. Then I took the offcial update to 2.3.4 using the push update.
Yet the problem is not fixed. Not getting any clue on what happened !
I've tried two different operators who run GSM 900 and its not getting network with them.
But There is no problem with GSM 1800 operators. Its running smoothly with GSM 1800 SIM.
Alhamdulillah, the problem has been solved.
A OTA update to 2.3.6 has solved the problem for me.
First I flashed 2.3.3, just after flashing it prompted for a update to 2.3.4 and a day after it prompted for a update to 2.3.6.
Which eventually solved the problem
Thanks for your help guys.
The reception used to be very good before flashing the customized ROM.
I have flashed the recommended radio, and from the phone-setting-aboutphone, it is showing the correct version: 10.58.9035.00u_10.15~~~~~~~.
I have sensation 4g with Telus Canada (phone unlocked from Bell Canada).
Anybody may have some ideas?
Thanks

See what happens after using RIL files, then reboot.

You downgraded via rom manager using the stock images section? I believe that is a tmo image with a tmo radio so you'll probably need to flash an att radio for it to work or flash a stock ATT image.

I flashed back to the other ICS ROM I was using before and no cell service. Everything else works but just no bars or internet via the towers. It reads theres a sim though. What do you think this is? I think the hardware gave

Hi everyone,
I am experiencing some problem with regards to network signal on my phone. I bought it openline to all networks here in the Philippines.
The only weird is that I only experience this problem when I'm out of the city. Then I try to insert my sim on other phone (ex. Nokia) and it has a network signal and it is consistent to have a signal.
I already call customer support for my provider and they cannot see any problems with regards to the area I was reporting to and also just I think because my sim is okay to other phones and it has signal on my sensation when I go back in the city.
Your inputs and suggestions is a very big help.
Thanks.
...just to add.
I experience it to stock GB and now I'm root to ARHD 6.5.1 and still problem is not resolved.
Thanks.
Tried installing 3.32 radio? I'm also on Globe and I've tried that version of ARHD and had no prob whatsoever. Some more info will help like HBOOT ver etc.

Thanks but Im currently using 3.32 radio.
Android version : 4.0.3
Sense : 3.6
Kernel version : 3.0.16-gda3fdfc SebastianFM #1
Baseband version : 11.69.35004.00U_11.22.3504.07_M
Build number : 3.32.401.5 CL309896
im having this problem as well. when i insert my sun sim card its fine, but when i insert my globe sim, sometimes it's no signal / limited service , sometimes its ok. weird.
I am using ICS for 3 days.the reception is weeker than GB.my rom revolution 6.
who else have this problem ?
specially official ICS .do you have reception problem with offisial rom ?
it look likes its only my problem.so whay should I do for this problem ? any solution ?
Oftentimes the radio has a big factor on reception. If you flashed a new firmware package (which you undoubtedly did if you're running ICS now...) then chances are your radio file was overwritten. I would suggest digging through Google to find a radio file optimized for your carrier FOR ICS. You also want to make sure it only has a replacement radio and nothing else tagging along with it, otherwise you may have to reflash your ROM afterwards. Good luck to you!
thanks for reply.
what If I install ICS OTA ROM ? Do I need to reinstall radio ?
next question theres is a ICS untoucked rom in revolution hd forum.Is this rom exactly htcs rom ?
or could you please send me a link of official htc ics rom ?

The Radio comes with a firmware package as opposed to a ROM, so just flashing a ROM won't fix that.
Android Revolution HD is a very nice ROM, if you like the Sense UI and don't want to go for AOSP like OpenSensation/CyanogenMod 9 then ARHD is your best choice. The main difference is it gives you the latest version of everything as well as many tweaks and enhancements for it to run smoother. I don't have any links for plain unmodified HTC update packages.
As for the CID, you want to flash a Radio/Firmware based on the CID you have. The only exception is if you are SuperCID, but you still want to flash the one that matches YOUR carrier. Radios are all different. If you used Orange UK for example and I gave you a Radio for T-Mobile US it wouldn't help at all.
