No service after firmware update

So I updated my firmware (I was already superCID'd) and then when I loaded a new ROM I had no service. I have tried many different ROMs, radios and the such but have had no luck. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I had issues on mine as well, after reflashing it seemed to behave much better. I had a good download verified by md5, the first flash was successful by every indication, but my signal was non-existent or crap at best. After the reflash it just started working better. Give it a try!
Edit: To clarify, I mean to reflash the firmware, not the ROM. I had deleted the P58IMG file from my SD so I had recopy it over to reboot into bootloader to flash it.

I tried that but it did not work, I dont think it even recognizes that I am on T-Mo because in the settings it says that there are no network operators and all of the network settings are blank.

Have you done a factory reset? I had the APN settings grayed out after flashing a rom. I had to simply go and perform a factory reset and start from scratch. DO NOT ERASE YOUR SD CARD. And make sure you have a rom to flash after you reset your phone.

I tried that but it didnt change anything. I am starting to think it might be something with the SIM card or the phone reading the SIM card because in the settings it says "Please insert SIM" and Wi-Fi calling says "Reading SIM" the whole time.

Do you have another SIM to try? The TMo stores usually are helpful with stuff like that.
Still though, this sounds awfully familiar. I do remember reading something similar about the SIM not being recognized a couple weeks ago when the ICS ROMS first came out but can't remember what threads. Do some forum searches on missing SIM, SIM not recognized, stuff like that and see if anything looks helpful.
Edit: Can't seem to find it now. The only other things I can think of to try is to power off, remove the SIM, power up, let it boot completely, then power off, replace the SIM, and power back up. If that doesn't work, I would try flashing an appropriate RUU from here. Be careful to pick the right RUU for your area and carrier. To flash the RUU, just connect the USB plug from your PC to the phone and doubleclick the RUU exe file to start. It should find the phone and do everything necessary, firmware, radio, partitions, etc. and put you back on a stock ROM. You can flash CWM or 4EXT recovery and then whatever ROM you want.

The one I remember reading about, the guy replaced the Sim card and it fixed his no service issue.

Yes I remember replying to that thread as well. That guy bought that phone on craigslist or something and used his old sim, not the sim that comes with the phone itself.
Go to a tmo store/kiosk at the mall and ask to test out a different sim for the phone and see if that works.

[Q] AT&T HOX - Restarting Issues?

My One X restarts when I'm in the Google Play app and while using the built in browser. It seems to be data related... Also I get no error or anything of that nature, it just freezes (stops responding to any input whatsoever the capacitive buttons don't respond either) and it just restarts and goes through the HTC and AT&T load screens. Any ideas as to why my phone keeps restarting after a bit of use on the market, browser, etc... I've sent in my original phone thinking it might've been defective. Turns out the one they sent me did the same thing. Mind you they sent me a refurbished one. So I don't know if its a problem isolated to the original shipments of HOX's since I got mine via a pre-order and this is probably the same batch since the AT&T rep said they had no new devices to ship to me as a replacement.

Any ideas?

I've gone through a few HOXs and have never had a single reboot on any of them. My suggestion to you would be to wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik) and reflash your ROM.

How exactly would I go about doing that. I used the clockwork recovery mod on my Aria back when I had that. But from what I understand the HOX doesn't have that yet and attempting to use ROM Manager or anything that uses it would brick my phone.

We have clockwork mod and TWRP recoveries. I take it you are on a stock ROM then? Are you rooted?
Oh, and never use ROM Manager. Ever.

Yeah I'm rooted (on the stock ROM) and I managed to get my bootloader unlocked.

I take it you haven't flashed any mods right? I'd get clockworkmod flashed on your phone and then wipe and flash CleanROM SE. It's very close to stock, perfectly stable (I haven't had a single force close except for one youtube one a long while back right after flashing), and it has some great mods and tweaks. If you are still having reboots, then I would RUU back to stock, see if they are still there and if they are, get it replaced.

Radio
If your issues were mostly data related its probably a radio issue. Be sure to flash a new radio. If I'm not mistaken most roms don't include the radio. I like the latest AT&T as well as 1.88. Much better than 1.73 or 1.85. you can flash it just like a rom if it's in zip format. There's a thread in development with radio In the title. Normally first page.

I had this exact problem. EXACT. Does it happen on WiFi only? try turning it off.
EDIT: this happened to me on two different HOXs, one just after i updated to 1.82, and the other, stock from the store on 1.85. I was able to narrow it down to the fact that our home wifi was unprotected with a hidden SSID. as soon as we changed it to WPA it worked fine, and continues to.

[Q] Switching Wi-Fi on then off kills mobile data

I have recently had this problem start happening to my phone out of nowhere. I am with T-Mobile, have an HTC Sensation and am currently running Paranoid Android. When I realized I couldn't get data to come back on I tried to revert to a back up that worked perfectly. After restoring the backup the problem still persists. When I do a factory data reset and fresh ROM install the data works fine until I connect to Wi-Fi. When I turn Wi-Fi back off the little H above the cell signal bars will blink every 5 seconds but never fully establish a connection. This is happening no matter what settings and no matter what rom I run. I am completely stumped at this point. Can anyone please help me out? I would provide a log cat but not sure if its possible with a mac? Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide me with useful information.
Some more phone info:
Rooted via Revolutionary
3.33 universal firmware
Paranoid Android V16

Have you tried upgrading to version 17? I would make sure and do a full wipe then install version 17 and see if problem still persists. I'm also running paranoid Android and never had any problems except once when I flashed over an update without wiping, I was having data issues then. Once I did a full wipe my data restored perfectly. I'd give this a try and see how it goes. I know I have this same problem with cm roms but never with paranoid Android. Give it a try with FULL wipe and see if issue is gone. Best wishes

I tried Dragonkors full wipe script followed by flashing v17 this morning, and this same issue is still happening. This happens on my phone no matter what ROM I use, and after full wipe every time. Is there some settings stored on my sd card that I could try to reset to make the switching from Wi-Fi to high speed data network work again? I don't think this is a ROM problem since its happening on all ROM's. Its not how I'm flashing ROM's either as I have been doing so since the Sensation came out. I don't know what is left to troubleshoot this problem, and am kind of out of ideas. I hope a developer on here sees this post, and can make sense of the situation as I cannot.

I have completely formatted the sd card, re-downloaded V17, placed on blank sd card, formatted all partitions except sd card, installed V17.

I think the problem is narrowed down to faulty sim card, something on T-mobiles end, or a hardware problem??
Anyone got any other advice?

I was experiencing this issue on paranoid android also. My mobile data stopped working on v.16, I went back to v.15, then I flashed v.17 and it fixed.
Also, you can try it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34906909#post34906909
Or any other rom. Right now I'm using aokp by frankinstine as it gives me more battery.

The crappy thing is aokp by frankinstine is one of the roms I flashed hoping that this problem would not persist, but it did.
I did a factory data reset, installed the rom, connected to wi-fi, disconnected wi-fi= data dead.
The only way I have been able to make it come back on so far is to: go into settings >dev options>launch tools>connectivity
Inside connectivity settings, I hit Remove Default Route, then Stop HiPri, then Start HiPri in this order and it will make my data connection come to life.
I don't understand why the phone won't connect automatically anymore. This is a pain to have to do every time I leave wi-fi. If anyone understands why this might happen out of no where when no changes were made to a perfectly functioning ROM setup please feel free to chime in. Thanks.

UPDATE:
Getting an updated SIM card solved this problem. Not sure if mine was faulty or just out of date... it was the one that came with the phone when the Sensation came out. Also a guy at the T-mobile store told me they are adding several LTE towers in my area at the moment, so maybe this rendered my SIM card obsolete. Not sure exactly what was going on, but at least I finally found a solution. Thanks to those who posted to help me troubleshoot this strange problem.

[Q] Verizon Galaxy s3 roaming only, not activating

So I'm totally at a loss of where to go or what to even search for.
I have a verizon Galaxy s3 that I rooted and unlocked the bootloader on. I flashed a couple ROMs and now it won't connect to the network. It tells me it is in roaming mode only. I called verizon, but they said to just return the phone because it won't talk to their network.
I've read some things about "triangle away" and I kind of tried that. But it kept telling me that my flash count was 0 anyway. So it didn't do anything.
My IMEI and ICCID are correct to my sim card and phone. I originally flashed CM10 for the verizon s3 and it worked great for a few weeks. Then I tried a couple others and they worked also. Then I flashed the euroskank ROM, and that's when it no longer would connect. I went back to a previous nandroid, and still no connecting.
I don't know what the problem is, or what to search for, or where to go.
Should I try to install a stock rom. I know I keep seeing things about odin and installing the stock rom. Should I do that? That's something I haven't tried yet.

So, I tried reprovisioning the phone with *2767*3855#
And when I did that, it said sorry, your phone is not yet activated.
But I know it is, or, at least was activated. And when I call verizon they tell me it has been activated already. I don't know what to do. I'm thinking of trying to go back to stock

Same Problem
Flashed CM10.1 nightly just to test it out and then boom, no more connection. On any ROM. Scariest part? I have gone through the restore process and am now back to an unrooted phone with out of the box firmware. I believe I will take it back to Verizon now and see if they will give me a new one.

So I don't know if we have the same issue or not. But I got mine working for now. Don't know if I'll run into problems later, but this is how I got it working right now.
First, I installed back to stock settings and radio. I followed the instructions in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
I did the stuff in section 5. Including Flashing a Stock Radio. So I went back to the VRALG1 4.0.4 ROM.
And I did the I535VRLHE radio.
But it still didn't work. BUT, once in stock settings, I did the reprovisioning.
*2767*3855#
And then that finally worked, it went through, and my phone activated. So it works now. Hooray!
But I REALLY really want to know what happened. So I can avoid this happening again in the future. Can anyone tell me what happened, and why this fixed it? And how to prevent it happening again as a flash more ROMs in the future?
Also, SpecePatriot, let me know if that works for you. It'd be good to have more than one source to know that works.

Well that's good to know that you got it back working again. Sounds like it might be just be the ROM and not anything weird that we did to cause the loss of connectivity.

I had the an issue with my phone stuck roaming and this method worked great! Only problem I came across was trying to run Samsungs update for Jelly Bean, Every time I attempted to update my phone would crash and go back to ICS. Luckily I had a back up so I wiped my phone, restored from my previous backup (which had Jelly Bean) and worked without roaming issues!
My input is if your having roaming issues is to use a backup you made before you had the roaming issue. Follow this tutorial above to get your phone back to stock, root your phone, then restore from your backup through CWM or whatever you are using.
I am not too sure what causes the roaming issue but I did notice while looking for networks, my phone found ATT ad TMobile haha.I am assuming what happened was that the Cyanogenmod update I was downloading automatically was set for another carry which changed my wireless settings. I will be downloading nightly's manually for now on lol
Thanks for this fix, Saved me a lot of time and aggression

My S3 is having the same issue after a CM10 modification. Reflashing to a stock ROM fails, wiping and reflashing fails, trying a different rom on cwm fails, no backups to flash to (all result in error). So I stumbled upon this thread, read about reprovisioning, and I took it to mean input the numeric code into the phone dialer. I did that, and nothing happened. Can anyone provide insight on reprovision and how to do it? Google search on reprovision isn't giving me any hints.
If the reprovision is just failing and I've been doing it right, does anyone have any other suggestions? Really hoping my phone isn't soft-bricked with no ability to call/text.

Hey guys, when you provision does it wipe the entire phone, including the SD card? (internal SD card and external SD card)

stuck...
I tried all the above, stock, radios, kernels, codes, ##RTN#, none of it works, my radio works cause i tried 911 and it jumped on roaming and began to make call at which point of course i hung up before letting it connect any words of wisdom... at this point just a tablet for wifi

I have a galaxy note 2 on Verizon. This used to happen to me on CM 10.1 first stages but issue got fixed as the nightlies started. It only happened to me when I sometimes rebooted the phone or when the battery completely drained from 100-0% then when I would charge it and boot the phone it would show me an x and no signal bars. I would have to restore to a TW rom to get it to activate again but going into settings and switching to CDMA/LTE mode. Now I'm on ParanoidAndroid 2.99beta ROM and it still gives me that issue. Hopefully soon it will be fixed.:fingers-crossed:

Thank you buddy,
This helped me get my phone back in working order -- For those of you wondering why the "*2767*3855# is not working is because you are using the wrong flash. You must use "Official VRALG1 4.0.4" - and currently the link is down on the thread - I just googled it and found it elsewhere. I tried one of the other OTA's and it would not work. Also, do exactly as netskull described - even regarding the antenna. When using VRALG1 4.04 - The second i entered the last "hashtag (#)" it popped up another screen which helped get my phone working. I did not have to press send or anything. Kind of sucks that I lost all data on my internal card, but I DID back it up and now I will have to go through and restore. Since some people were wondering -- It did not mess with anything on the external card... It did unroot my device, however, so I will have to do that again as well.
For some reason, flashing the latest MIUI messed up my phone and put it in roaming all the time. Oh well, happy i got it working, and subscribed . Thanks once again Nertskull.

Cant connect to google services.

Well, strange issue here that I'm going crazy over. Recently I've rooted and such but run stock Rom on my one s. I downloaded a google play patcher and freedom apks to check them out and suddenly lost connection whenever I would open google play store so I knew right away it was a result of those apks. I uninstalled them and tried again with no luck. I then reinstalled google play store apk and cleared all the data/cache with still no results. At this point I decided to back up my important apps via titanium backup and did a complete factory reset. Setting my phone back up it asked me for my google account to synch contacts and such. Full signal 4g and full signal WiFi both fail to connect to google. Aside from trying to flash a new Rom and try I'm at a loss. I don't want to use a custom Rom I only want root access on my phone. Does anyone know how I can fix this ? I know the google patcher and freedom jacked my phone up and I do intend to avoid them for good now. Thanks.

Reset wont work if the patcher patched an apk. If you got TWRP or CWM you could try flashing gapps to see if that works.

Thanks for the quick reply ill try to figure it out. Would gapps be on already or do I have to go find it somewhere?

Get gapps here and make sure you get the right one.

Thanks again but how do you determine which one? I run stock Rom. Those appear to be for cyanogenmo. Would I need to flash that beforehand? I'm not experienced really in doing any of this and I know its not your problem so I really am quite thankful for the assistance. The only thing I've done is unlock bootloader, flashed TWRP and installed superuser. Flashing other rims I wanted to avoid as I'm content with the stock and didn't want to move away from the familiar. If its the only way to recover my google access then ill have to though I guess.

If its 4.0.4 then use the one for CM9 and if its 4.1.1 then you want the CM10. If that don't work and don't want custom rom the you need a RUU to get it fully stock.

Well phone told me 4.0.4 so ill give it a try. Thanks again, ill report back if it worked.

Well, I downloaded, booted recovery, flashed it, rebooted and now all the google apps just force close so I can't even get the connection error. I'll try flashing a Rom later or the ruu. If anyone has any ideas much appreciated.

Did you clean cache and dalvik-cache after you flashed it? You also need to clear the data for the google apps (done in settings -> apps in the phone) alt. factory reset it.

Yup already done. Both actually, I cleared the data/cache in the settings and I did a factory reset twice. No luck. I'm going to attempt flashing a custom ROM if I can find one that is actually decent but most appear to have issues with WiFi or something that'd drive me nuts. flash the partition patch is recommended like with the viper but after readying 20 pages I have no idea still wth they're talking about.

As far as I can work out, it seems the wifi issues is mainly with t-mo devices. Ive never had any wifi issues on mine with hboot 1.14.

I have a TmoUS HTC ONE S S4. Not entirely sure what hboot is. Like I said i'm still kinda new but I did read enough to see that there's WiFi issues so I don't want to push it. Ive been reading through all the ICS ROMS and half seem to be outdated and broken.

If you want an ICS rom, go with ViperS 1.2.1. Great rom
hboot is listed in the bootloader.

Viper is the rom that's apparently having wifi issues from what I read where it says to flash the partition or whatever and I couldn't find out what they were talking about. I'm checking out some JB rom now called jellybam, if I can manage to install it hopefully it works out. As for the hboot thing still no idea lol I'm honestly not going to try to figure it out. I simply want my phone with root access and working google again I don't want a custom rom at all but I apparently have no choice

Try Viper 1.2.1 and if you have issue then there is a TrickDroid thats T-Mobile base so it should be fine there.

I've successfully flashed Viper 2.0 and have access to google again now finally. Only issue is that sine I had the 4.04 update my wifi no longer works so I have to figure out how to fix that. There's flashing of something but I have no idea what he was talking about as he simply said that and provided no links or explanations.

You can't fix it without upgrading to JB which you can't yet or downgrade the Hboot, so you better off trying Viper 1.2.1 and see how that goes for wifi.

xD exactly the reason I didn't want a non-stock ROM lol Honestly after the headache I'm just going to keep what I have. I thought the H signal was pretty much the G network but it turns out that it's fast like my normal 4G which it keeps bouncing between 3G and H. Makes no sense to me but as long as i'm not down in the basement I should have 4G signal. All this flashing and having to reinstall everything and update blah blah just isn't worth the trouble and effort. I have half the mind to revert back to stock rom and just reroot and leave it there hopefully working.

I think this is the best time to do it since you not settled with it yet and I like I said there is T-Mobile TrickDroid so you wont even lose wifi calling and also pretty much stock.

For some reason that didn't work either. I relocked bootloader, reflashed stock Rom and rerooted. Everything works again, thanks again for the help though guys. This thread can be closed now.
