Hey guys,
I'm looking for a little help here. My Skyrocket seems to be having radio/modem issues.
Instead of having a symbol that displays cell signal, I have a circle with a line through it. This is true with or without a working SIM inserted. For baseband version it says "unknown".
I've tried flashing to stock and that didn't seem to make a difference. I got this phone second hand so I don't know if the previous owner tried to flash an incompatible rom and borked up the radio firmware possibly?
Any thoughts about what I can try?
That all depends on which method and tar you used. Some tars dont come with the radio. and with the wrong radio on a rom you will get a RIL mismatch and no signal

So I'm unsure how it got to its current state. (meaning the circle with a line through it) To return to stock I used the K0nane tar that's in the sticky in the dev section. I don't know if that has a radio in it or not but flashing that didn't seem to change things.

That doesn't have a radio in it. Look in your "about phone" and tell me what your baseband and android version says.
After that I will probably say to flash the sammobile tar...
Also, Did you have the correct plan added to your service when you switched phones?
baseband version = unknown

Right..
Assuming your plan has been provisioned for the new lte phone, I would flash the sammobile tar in odin
I'm going to give that a try. I suppose I'll just search for sammobile?
The SIM i'm using was provisioned for my previous Skyrocket. I ended up trading that but used the same sim in my new phone. So, I'm assuming the SIM/my account should be proivisioned for LTE since I never had AT&T change anything on their end.
And just to clarify, this doesn't really seem to be a "no service" type problem since its as if the radio isn't even recognized by the hardware.

Right, seems to be a ril mismatch.
Factory reset and then flash the sammobile tar

I'm downloading now. I'll report back after I flash.

Lol, I appreciate the helpful info in your reply. Just so you know, I don't seem to be having the same issue as any other post that I've seen. Unlike the other posts I've read, I don't have "no sim" or no signal, or no LTE. My problem almost seems like an issue with the SIM slot itself. I think I can rule that out because I've actually replaced the SIM slot with a known good SIM slot. The other reason I think I can rule this out is because I am unable to access the radio related content from within the service menu. Unfortunately I don't think there will be a :oof:: that fixes what I have going on. (I wouldn't mind being wrong on this)
So I flashed the sammobile tar (multiple times) but no luck. The baseband version still reports as "unknown". What's more, my phone reboots after about 15 or 20 seconds. Very odd. Any other thoughts on things to try?

Flash the stock rom and radio and radio then dial #*2263# and click automatic. Then wait a minute or so and see if it goes back to showing the bars.

I'm going to try the multiple suggestions I got and report back. I'm also attaching the "screen shots"
Hopefully the attachments are here
I flashed EFSFix through CWM and then SAMMOBILE tar through ODIN. No luck, but ODIN did take about twice as long as it did the first time I tried flashing the sam .tar. Same symptoms, circle with a line through it and phone reboots itself after about 20 seconds. The baseband version still reports as "unknown".
I flashed back to stock through ODIN, flashed CWM with ODIN, and then flashed EFSFix again. Same exact results as the first time.
Next I flashed back to stock using ODIN, and flashed UCLE2 ROM through ODIN. Flashing this causes the reboot issue to go away, but the radio issue remains. (I thought to try the UCLE2 ROM because that's what was loaded when I first received the phone and the phone wasn't rebooting itself then)
I first used the one click method to originally put a custom rom on my skyrocket. I used the I727UCLE2_OneClick-5FCC9DECF4915ED1C0CD7F42799C3783.exe file, and it worked great. Then, I followed the instructions for the "SKY-ICS 4.2F-4.5 (UXCLF3 Base) 6/25/12 OFFICIAL (4.0.4) ICS AT&T/ROGERS SAFE" rom. I followed them to a T. The phone reboot, everything looked great.
Only, my phone now says to insert a sim card.
I dial *#06*, and it says IMEI null/null
I've searched and looked at numerous threads, but I couldn't find any that helped me.

First I tried the stock at&t kj2, then I tried ICS UCLF5.
There is a fix for that... but first try to shut down and pull battery, sim and sd card for a while.
I now know how important the efs folder is... you know, that folder that's now missing all those files on my skyrocket.
We live, make mistakes, and learn from those mistakes.

I did, for 15 minutes.
I chickened out and restored it to the factory firmware using kies, and it fixed it. Where did I go wrong? I probably used the wrong radio file. I'm still learning. What one should I choose for at&t lte on my skyrocket?
... and next time, I'll backup my efs folder BEFORE i do anything like this.

I have used all the ics radios. UCLF5 seems best for my area. ruxlf3 was pretty good as well.

I don't want to get too far off topic on this post, but what exactly is the difference between all the different radio files? Perhaps there's a thread that explains this.
All is well now. I followed the steps again, and it worked this time. I used the ICS UCLF5 radio, and my lte fired right up!
Thank you for your help!

Some work better than others depending on your physical location. They are all leaked, except the Rogers one which is official.

Good to know. Thank you.
I'm having a similar problem. After getting my stock Skyrocket I installed the one-click UCALC4 that I had read about from the sticky. Shortly after, I have no 4g or mms and the phone doesn't see the sim card, but I can still see my phone number and IMEI.
Everything works fine when I turn on the phone, but after about 30 seconds the icon at the top turns into a circle with a slash. Occasionally after booting it will work for a few hours but not often.
After flashing different radios and trying to revert to a stock 2.3.6 the problem persists. Eventually I installed the one-click UCLE5 ICS and it worked fine for all morning until I left for work and while I could make calls, neither party could hear the other. I got into my voicemail once but after that I had the same problem as above.
Right now I rebooted a couple of times and it has been working fine for about three hours. I keep trying to produce the symptom but no luck.
I am thinking of rooting and installing the cyanogen mod but before I do that, I want to make sure that I can go back to stock if I need do. I have been looking around the wiki and the forums but I couldn't find anything on going back to stock on the SGH-T959W. Can I just use the method which is shown for the T959V?
Stop.
You do not want to flash these roms. Search this forum for your model there have been a lot of bricks and discussions on your model.

I see that I should not flash bootloaders which I already know not to do. I also see that the T959V is the same as the T959W (except for the difference in preinstalled apps and also the fact that one is Verizon and the other is wind) which is why I was wondering if the going back to stock tut will work for this model.
Ok. I wanted to avoid disaster. The one click should bring you back to stock. Just be careful with everything

T959V is t-mobile, T959W is wind. There is also T959P which is telus, and supposedly there is a T959N, but no one has come forward on that one. The telus phone is very different from T959V and T959W.

getochkn is working on getting the OTA update from wind and should be getting it soon.
I'm also working with him to extract the bootloader files from his phone so we can get a back to stock oneclick like we do for T959V.
I hope that helps.
Ahh thank you!!

Yes, as of now, there is no way to go 100% back to Wind stock. You can go back to T959V stock, which for all intensive purposes is the same, +/- a few stupid bloatware installed apps, but nothing that serious. The 2 things are the bootloader, which I am trying to get from Wind, will not much success but I keep emailing and calling and hopefully someone sooner or later will get sick and tired of me and give it up. The second, is the modem, which LB6 (I think) that only appeared on our Wind phones. The T-Mobile KD4-KJ1, etc modems all work fine, so it's not an issue, but I have a second SGS4G that is stock, that when I am ready to upgrade that one, bhundven is going to help me preserve and extract the modem, so we will have the modem, so a one-click back to stock with our modem replaced in it would get you 99% stock, again the only diff being the pre-bundled app's. I only used 1 click to root+cwm mine as you have to flash again and click bootloader to actually flash that, so if you don't do that, you can then explore any of the ROM in this section only on your phone.
You seemed to have done your reading, asked your questions in a good manner, so keep it up and ask or even PM me if/when you're ready and I will help you. Sadly some people don't read and jump in and end up with a bricked phone and it's hard to want to help someone who just randomly flashes stuff to a $400 phone because they watch a youtube video.
Do you research and reading, asking polite, informative questions and you will get help.
............Now on to read the thread of the guy with the T959W phone, showing a picture of it, with the tmobile logo, meaning he flashed the bootloaders and he's stuck in a loop. lol. There is someone who didn't read, jumped in, and may have a bricked phone. We can replace stock apps, I will have the Wind modem soon, but unless Wind gives me the kies tar, we will never have the bootloader.

If you dump your bootloaders, we will have t959w bootloaders. But do what I said in both PMs I sent you. (the second one gets the PIT the right way)

Thanks for your help! I'll think I will wait till you get the bootloader. Don't wanna do anything major with the phone in case something goes wrong and then I can't go back to stock (when something goes wrong I mean like hardware wise where I would need to get it sent in for repair and then wind will see that it is rooted and modified). But I can wait. I have another tablet that I can play around with in the mean time.
Thanks again!

Yes, I have dumped the wind params and have flashed it without problems. Upon extracting the jpgs from it, there is 1 additional jpg in my params, the Wind one we get. The weird thing is when I flashed the "V" params though, I got no boot logo as the ofsets are different.
Brian and I are trying to put together a package to get it going. I have a stock Wind phone as well still that I am going to dump the GB ROM we get instead, with our default apps, etc, so hopefully in a few days, we should have a FULL restore to stock for Wind people. Having troubles with the modem not flashing though through Heimdall. Can flash one in CWM no prob but that doesn't solve the problem of using a 1-click stock to go back to stock without root, etc.
still searching for stock rom

ARe you sure you have the 959W? I thought the Telus model was the 959P. The W is the UTMS band version of the phone, which Telus doesn't use, so I don't think you have a W.
First off Im new here. Well I haven't posted on xda before, but I've spent enough time reading.... anyway, have an vzsgs3 cwmr bootldr unlocked flashed taste of beans... then wiped flashed slimrom and then nandroid'D stock over that.got the wonderful nonvzw triangle of death.... after that I flashed stock root66 via Odin. Lost my imei in that whole process. Didn't have it backed up either.went through pretty much every post that related to the sgs 3 and imei.Now I have a 4g ONLY device.I also found out that you cannot make or receive calls on 4g and the tower negotiation/propagation takes place over the cdma network. If I restart my phone every time I move to a different tower I can use it on 4g to surf the web. No call or texts ever. If I leave the range of a tower, I get a /0 slash zero for reception. Reboot and 4g is back.This is strictly 4g ONLY.it will not and cannot connect to the mobile network .try to dial out, error: mobile network not available. Factory reset several times. Phone is back to oob stock. I would be tempted to say there is something mucked up in the nv rf items. By flashing and resetting, it would set everything back to stock except the radio FW. Switched Sims with a working one... same. Imei is fixed, about status shows it correct as well as the correct phone number and everything else. Where should I go from here.? Let me know what info u need and ill post it.thx!

No one is gonna reply because you suck at writing stuff out and cant understand what you are saying.
As for your phone, the imei has been restored but the phone is still borked? Did you odin back to stock after all those issues? That would have reflashed your modem. Did you check the md5 on the crap you flashed too?

I would odin back to stock if that doesn't work. Try to instal one of these basebands from the link. I'm pretty sure flashing stock with odin does thatthough. I'm a noob but that is my best guess. Good luck.
There is a tool on here that you can fix your IMEI with, if you haven't already. I would try to reprovision the SIM if you have done everything else.

Since I do not have enough posts to ask on the developers thread, I was wondering what modems i could flash on SlimKat because i have not been able to send long texts. I tried using both the padded modems for newer roms as well as the GB/Froyo modems and i wouldnt get any signal at all and it said that the baseband version was unknown when trying to flash either. Any ideas?
You're in the right forum -- the development forums are generally reserved for active development, not questions about how to use what has been developed. We're a little "sloppy" here because the SGS4G community has gotten a lot smaller in the past few years, but still a good habit to get used to.
@FBis251 maintains a repository of modems, padded for the various ROMs.
Try the various ones and see what works well for you.

Thanks! I tried all of the modems except for the cm7 but when i get more time or when i get frustrated with not being able to send long texts i guess i know where to look.
So i tried all different types of modems and no matter what i would get "unknown" for the baseband version and i would not get signal.

Have you also lost your iemi numbers?
When i reflash the rom (which recovers the modem to kj6) then i would would get signal again so i take it that my imei numbers are still intact. I also have used odin to flash modems before and it always worked with the kj6 rom (with any other modem).

I would suggest using recovery (TWRP or CWM) to flash the padded modem file, less room for error. I use the KJ5 Modem which works for me, had the same issue with long texts on KJ6.
I did try it at least twice on TWRP with the same results... Were you on SlimKat/BeanStalk(4.4.2)?

Yes, Slimkat. Flash the ROM. Then go back to recovery and flash the modem file of your choice. You should be able to then confirm in your Settings-> Status screen. You should see the baseband change, if not there is something wrong.

I flashed the KG4 padded modem and i am still getting an unknown baseband after letting my phone sit for about 5 minutes after flashing.
Did you check to see if there is anything under your APN... Settings>mobile networks>Access Point Names...maybe add it manually if there is nothing there.

I did not, but would anything show up if the Baseband is saying unknown? I am back to the stock modem (kj6) because i needed to get my signal back.
Edit: So the problem still isnt solved, but long texts are sending (before i would get an error message saying failed) so i dont need to worry changing the modem anymore. Thanks for helping guys even though it didnt work out!

Had the same thing happen to me. Kept asking and received the answer that worked for me. Just make sure your CWM or TWRP recovery images are updated to the very latest. Should work. Been testing modems back and forth for a couple days now. Still getting sudden signal drops though. I wondering if T-Mobiles update to their towers isn't compatible with our hardware. Seems coincidental that many had this problem start right around that time. Trying to force us to upgrade devices tailored to their services provided...haha anyways...I'll stop ranting now

Just use a file manager to copy the modem.bin file to /radio/
I tried flashing from TWRP and got the unknown baseband error as well. Manually copied it over and all is well now.
The modem installer zips were written for ICS roms. They might have worked on some JellyBean roms but I definitely never tested them on KitKat. @Dwack has the right method for this though, copying by hand should work fine since that's all the .zip files do.
