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...
Begin minor rant:
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?

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.

I just bought a phone the guy who made no mention of the fact that it was rooted when I bought it. What is worse is he mentioned that his GF worked for Verizon, which did not seem to mean much at the time. Knowing that here is what i'm dealing with.
I was in a rush when I checked out the phone as I had to meet another person to pick one up for my wife as well. It's the sch-i575 in white 16gb. After having a minute to look at the phone it turns out he had Paranoid Android flashed and the phone was rooted. CRAP! Not what I was looking for and he was not upfront about it. The incredibly strange thing was that with NO SIMCARD the phone was getting 3g signal! I spent all night trying to unroot \ undo what he did. I managed to use ODIN to get back to the stock rom although I think it's still a rooted one since I still have the super user app. I got a sim card from verizon but since it was rooted I did not bring the phone in and when I tried to activate later it would not activate. My wife's by the way is working flawless and when I put my sim in her phone it works fine as well. I had to put the sim in my wife's phone and it activated there. Here is the crazy thing, with or with out a simcard the phone makes calls and has 3g internet only but when I make a call it uses HIS NUMBER!! I'm not sure what the hell to do, what could have he done? Any ideas? Please all help is appreciated! I did not think this was even possible for the phone to function w/o a sim. I'm worried about taking it in to Verizon because of the funkiness. Ty again for any insight...

I thought the I575 was an old slide phone. So A. your in the wrong section of the forum since this is Verizon's S3 or B. you mentioned the wrong device number? I saw phones before working and running on networks without sim-cards but that was years ago. If it is an S3, you sure it's a Verizon device? Also since you see 3g....can you browse around in the browser or make a phone call?

Yes, it's a galaxy s3 16gb in white. It looks like currently I was using the tar66 using ODIN. I'm reverting back to the bone stock one now. As far as the models go isn't the SCH-I575 the Verizon version of the S3?
I'm waiting on the stock unrooted rom to take through ODIN and will report back. Thank you for taking the time to try and help.
Ohh, yes the internet works and when I make phone calls with or with out my sim in it makes calls successfully but the other guys number shows up. What the heck did this guy do to the phone!

You are obviously absolutley correct. I'm frantically trying to figure this out. I have flashed the stock rom and don't have super user anymore. The problem persists with the guys number.
Could he have flashed a custom kernel and modem or does reverting back using the stock rom cover all that ?

I just double checked and I had the I535VRLAG1 version, yours is the I535VRALF2 in the link you posted trying this now. The crazy thing is that it even says that the sim is activated with MY number! but the calls are still comming from him. I even tried wiping the device and clearing the cache. I also tried to JUST flash the modem with VRLG1.modem.tar.md5 and nothing :\. Waiting on the file from your link to download and will try that.
Is it possible that this is being caused by something on Verizon's end? The phone ( with out the SIM ) is registered to him somehow? I know this is not normal but because his GF worked for Verizon could they have done something funky?
Yeah its definitely possible its from something she did to the phone but most likely nothing from Verizon's end. Does the IMEI number under status match the IMEI number under the battery?

Yes IMEI is the same in the OS as behind the battery.
The curious thing is that on the same screen in the OS where you find the IMEI there is also a field called Network and it says " Unknown"
It also has things like:
Eri v : 5
Mobile network type : EvDo-rev.a:8
The thing I keep coming back to is how is it possible for this phone to make calls\ have data with out a sim?
Starting to really think I got cheated
Cheated? Sounds like you have free Verizon service.

Just did and the same thing happened. I went to the Verizon store and the guy there had no idea and got me in touch with tech support from the store. They were dumbfounded and flat out said that what is happening is impossible. "It's impossible to make\receive phone calls with out a sim unless they are emergency" I harped on the fact that I am making phone calls as one of their other customers and that this is a big deal. In the end since I had the insurance and extended warranty they will ship me a new phone.

I was running CleanRom 4.5 and installed the 4.5 keyboard and clock and all of a sudden I lost my network connection. what is weird is the 4G works fine. I just can't receive or make calls/text messages. Does anyone have any idea what may be the problem? I've returned my phone to stock, cause I'm thinking I'm going to have to take it back to Verizon.

Yeah, i dont know what caused it to happen. I didn't even really notice it wasn't working, cause I never lost data. i've always had 4G signal. i just can't make phone calls or send texts. at one point it did say mobile network not available, but now it just doesn't make calls at all. the screen looks like its making the call, but you do not hear any dial tone or anything. For sure it was working yesterday because i was on a four hour call last night. Just stopped out of nowhere today.
I had the same issue the other day. Did you backup your IMEI/MEID info? Check and see if they are still there in about phone, also check your ERI and if your network is listed.

I just got back from the Verizon store after spending 2 hours there. It did seem like it was an IMEI issue. They mentioned my phone having a different number than what was on the phone itself and they could find no way to correct it. The verizon tech support that they called were insisting that it was a network issue and not a phone issue, so they opened a trouble ticket to try and resolve that. they said 24-72 hours to get it resolved. luckily, the store clerks and managers thought support was full of it, so they decided to overnight me a replacement phone anyways just in case, even though they were told not to. so hopefully the new phone fixes the issue. I'm just glad that they helped me out because I didn't buy warranty or anything on the phone so they probably could have flat out denied me. Fingers crossed that all is good in a couple of days
I did back up my IMEI the first time I rooted the phone, but since they're helping me out, I'm just going to wait for the new phone and hope that that fixes it.
I had the exact same issue I just call this number
*2767*3855#
If that doesn't work flash back to stock lock the phone do the number again

Take out your battery and look for the IMEI number that is listed underneath it. Write it down. Then boot your phone back up and go to settings, about phone, status, and make sure that the number your wrote down matches the IMEI number on the phone. If it doesn't, then you'll need to restore your IMEI and probably repair your ERI.
Read this thread. It explains how to repair them both:

I had this exact same problem yesterday. I noticed it occurred when I left a 4G area. I couldn't connect to the network anymore and it prompted me to switch to global mode. My IMEI number on the back of my phone matched the number in the status too.
The way I fixed it was by doing an nvrestore in terminal emulator. You need to have a backup in place in order to do this. I believe you can find more about it in the IMEI thread in android development. It should be the first step and they'll probably be able to help you more there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852255
Also, I'm running Clean Rom 4.5, stock kernel, and the vrlg7 radio.

Thanks - will try this out and let you know if any success.
My phone was on clean rom 5.0, Loved it. Everything worked great for 2 months. 3 days ago I flashed CM10. Worked alright. Then flashed MIUI (pre-most recent update). Also worked fine except for some screen flickering. Decided to go back to stock. Did a nandroid restore and when it was finished I had no data or bars period. Restarted the phone to no avail. Called Verizon. They assumed my simm card was fried. Then I went and got a new simm card. They tried to activate it to no avail. After changing my PRL from 00000 to 15154 they were able to get 4g on my phone. It's a little slow but it works. Still no calls and text.
My phone number is 0000004548. Any ideas on fixing this?

This is my next option. Will it help? Come on xda, I have faith you can save me! Thanks all!
Still no luck
I completed the guide in the first post. No dice. I got everything sorted out, My phone number is now correct and all but... I cannot get signal still and I cannot boot into recovery. Weird. Any advice would be great! I'm sure others are in my spot.
Is your imei intact? I also had this problem prior to flashing miui. What I did was go back to completely stock, there is a guide somewhere here, make sure you backup all your data. Once you've boot up to stock, you have to dial the re provision code which is *2767*3855# , it will wipe all your data I believe, then reboot it should work then. After that just reroot unlock flash roms. I hope it works for you. If you've lost your imei you have to do something else which a guide is written on here, but I'm pretty sure you haven't lost your imei.

Yes, first thing to do is to check if your IMEI is intact. Also check your ERI (it should be set to 5).
Just a heads up, the re-provision code @Watoy mentioned only works on early build stock ICS. You can use the code in Root66, so my advice is to Odin back to Root66, which is available for download from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762204
If your IMEI and/or ERI is not intact, the following tool and guide will bring you back to life. You will also need to be on stock ICS for this, and I again recommend Root66 because many users need to perform the re-provision code after performing all of the steps in this guide to complete the process:

I'm attempting everything you two mentioned right now. I'll let you know how it turned out. I have already done each of these things but this time I'll follow the order (if that makes sense...)
Network - Unknown
Signal - -95 dBm 2 asu
Mobile net type - 1xRTT:6
in service
roaming
disconnected
phone # - 0000004548
Min 0000004548
PRL - 1
ERI - 5
IMEI - 990002068950862
IMEISV - 00
Definitely boot loops for days after flashing stock.vzw_root66.tar Any other ideas?
Alright. Flashed stock.vzw_root66.tar and it bootlooped. I pulled the battery after ten minutes and went into recovery and f/d reset. Network unknown. Signal strength and network type is the same. now service state says in service. Mobile network state still disconnected. PRL changed to 15173. phone number is correct. MIN is 3194421067. ERI is still 5. MEID now reads DEC: 256691456608999046 HEX: 0x99000206895086. IP address is now unavailable.
Can you read all that?
Okay I got the reprovision number to work. Going through that now.
I FIXED IT, Thanks to ya'll.
Now use the dialer code listed earlier

I don't know if I should make a new thread about this? What do ya'll think?
Flashed stock.vzw_root66.tar. Bootlooped, pulled battery, factory /data reset in recovery.
Then dialed the *2767*blah blah. And tada. Everything works.
Post links so I can buy ya'll beers!
Dead serious. I just dropped it 2 feet onto carpet and there is a small crack above the menu key. Phone is a goner. Black screen and all. I still claim this endeavor as worth it, hopefully it helps others out. Off to buy a $40 droid x on craigslist. ugh
Again, Thanks!

That sucks all that work to break it. I think it's like 170 for a new screen from Samsung installed.

Really? That's not too bad of a price. I thought the screens were going for close to that on ebay, and that's without installation obviously.

A quick look at the thread you linked to, it looks like you need to be back on an ICS ROM (at least for TW) to use the factory reset/reprovision(?) code, after repairing the IMEI.
The key to make it all work together seems to be this order: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33609227&postcount=160

You didn't miss anything, you just need to do that re-provision code. Flash back to this, do the re-provision, and you will be back to normal. No other way about it unfortunately.

This just saved me! Thanks a ton, sorry about your phone though. Just fixing the IMEI and ERI didn't work for me, I had to reset with the code
Same Issues
I suffered from no sms and no calls, reflashed root_66 tar from odin, then reprovisioned with *2767*3855# and i got sms and calls back but was stuck on roaming with it always trying to get me to install dual clocks, i figured it was a sim card issue as my imei was proper and everything was as stock, i took it to local Verizon, they installed new SIM for free, but it did not fix the issue. With a few kind words and pointing out the extras i spent on accesories, i ended up getting into the Note II. Keep In Mind i was still in my 30 day worry free, but for the SIM card it didnt matter, he did not look up that info till he told me he was going to replace my device if the SIM didnt take. I STRONGLY advise to approach them with kindness, i also informed them it happened when i kept toggling connection when transfering media thru the usb cable, i figured the heat and constant connect/disconnect fried the sim, they never asked if i tried to download any off market apps or anything along the MOD lines. Hope this helps anybody that may need it.. i did follow step 5 of the guide everyone references about rooting jellybean(root,custom recovery,stock), sorry new to forums and havnt figured out the linking yet, but once on the stock file with this name,( COMBINATION_I535VRBLK3_I535VZWBLK3_381038_REV09_user_low_ship.tar)everything read stock except my binary count, but i heard this is only an issue if sending to samsung as verizon reps are unaware of binary counts and odin and stuff related
