Not getting a cell phone signal at all on my Captivate. very rarely I get it and it stays on until I reboot for some reason, or sometimes goes off on its own. No problem with wi-fi or anything else.
Have had Gingerbread 2.3.5 - KK4 (official) for a long time, and did not have this problem. Here is what I did:
Installed Cyanogenmod 9.0 (ICS 4.0.4) on my Captivate that had the stock Gingerbread KK4. Also installed the gapps-ics package from 29 April 2012
I did this after rooting, and installing clockworkmod.
Even updated it to Cyanogenmod 9.1, but have the same issues.
More detail on it:
- The cellular radio shows no signal, but Wifi is on fine.
- When I press the power button, I see the power off and reboot options, including one that says "Airplane Mode is ON", although it clearly isn't since Wifi is working
- A couple of times, I rebooted into recovery, and did a "repair permissions" and rebooted, and it got a signal, but does not happen always
- Once the signal is on, it stays on for the whole day, but goes off again after a reboot
- Turning Airplane mode on and off does not help
Is this a modem issue, that seems to be a popular problem. It's almost as if there is a software bug that fools the phone into switching off wireless radio
Please help me fix it, or share successful fixes
I had same problem when I went to helly bean then back to remics-jb I flashed back to stock then back up to what I wanted it fixed the problem so I think its the modem.

KOROCK is right
So were you able to fix? I had a similar problem as well; I made the mistake of putting cm9.1 on and it bricked because I followed the instructions that popped up when I thought I had flashed it correctly. I tried everything; this is my daily driver so I had no choice but to find a fix, and find it fast as my clients were unable to get a hold of me for a few hours.... Anyways, got a little off track; but did you fix?

A little search/reading goes a long way.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
KK4 is what you'll want to go back to stock but I highly suggest you read this before you do anything http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266
Also, before returning to stock, you could try flashing a different modem.
Check to see if your baseband is still there. If it said "Unknown", you need to restore it. CM9 is supposed to have the modem.bin file included though. Check to see if the /radio folder have modem.bin in it, if it does, and the baseband still say Uknown, then manually delete the modem.bin, do a wipe and reflash a CM rom that have modem.bin included.
If Baseband is still there and still no signal, then check to see if IMEI is corrupted or lost (if its null or doesn't match the back of the phone). You can either copy over the efs backup folder if you have one and "fix permission" in CWM. If not, then you need to ODIN the phone to stock to fix it.

The other day I updated my phone to 2.3.4 using odin. after that I had a horrible wifi signal and i kept losing my data connection all together. So I flashed back to Froyo 2.2.1. I am so confused because my phone kept force closing, I did a factory reset and it stopped but it says my kernal version is 2.6.32.9...is that normal? Also how do I go about flashing a good rom to my phone? The way it is now it is soooo slow which is why i updated to the 2.3.4...any information would be helpful as I am ready to throw my phone out the window.

Which 2.3.4 ROM did you flash via ODIN? KG4/KG6 both show less wifi signal but I actually haven't seen a difference in speed. I'm on this one right now:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1187293
The way to properly get to that is by doing the following:
1. ODIN
[ROM-Leak][ODIN] Gingerbread 2.3.4 T959VUVKG4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183413
2. Then boot up like normal and wait for it to load up into the system.
3. Turn off your phone again (shutdown) and put it back into download mode.
4. ODIN this to get CWM+Root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194032 (use the ODIN version)
5. Keep lagfix disabled via the voodoo menu in recovery after you flash the CWM+root+Voodoo EXT4 package in the link in step 4.
6. Boot into the system. It's up to you, I flashed this

Some people have had issues getting onto EXT4 partitions while on a gingerbread ROM. I had a few issues myself. Needless to say there are several places to read about how to get EXT4 working on all partitions if you want to.
Best of luck, hope this helps.
Well to be completely honest, I don't know anything about partitions. All I know is that I updated my phone and then all of a sudden I had a horrible wifi connection and my data connection would just drop out all together and say "searching". I would have to reboot my phone 2 or 3 times to get it working again. What is a good rom to update to? Is have the kernal build that I do going to be an issue?

Hello All,
I am a avid XDA reader and follower. I don't post allot, but do allot of reading and tooling around. That being said I have read and tried many different option for my issue.
Device: I9020T on T-Mobile US
Issue: "Baseband Unknown" / No Cell Service
-Under Settings/About Phone. My Baseband version = Unknown
-My signal bars are greyed out with a small "X"
-Everything else works, wifi, camera, ect...
When in FASBOOT the following is listed:
-Product Name: Harring
-HW Version: REV 11
-Bootloader Version: I9020XXKA3
-Baseband Version: I9020XXKD1
-Carrier Info: EUR
-Serial Number: This matches the on on my box
The issue started after I installed one of the latest KANG builds of CM7 nightly builds. I also had flashed [KERNEL] [gpl] NS/NS4G Trinity (E)UV and OC 2.6.35.13/.14 BFS .404, CM7 + m(any) roms.
This combo had been working good for at least 8-10 hours until I was listening to music through PowerAMP, when all of the sudden the music sounded like a CD skipping. The screen was unresponsive and no buttons or combo of buttons did any thing. I hesitated but eventually had to pull the battery.
When I powered the phone back up it hung at the trinity boot logo and just froze. After several reboots with the same results, I resorted to flashing a different ROM through Recovery. That's when I noticed the issue at hand.
As I was typing this I noticed it was strange that fast boot listed my carrier info as EUR??? Is this maybe because I'm currently running [ROM] Gingerbread Peter Alfonso (GPA17)? I flashed the ROM listed for my phone.
Anyways here is what I have tried:
-Flashing a NANDROID of stock 2.3.2 through Recovery
-ADB/Fastboot flashing the various radios for my model
-Flashing radios through Recovery
-Flashing ROMS meant for my phone with radios in them
-Even found everything I needed and used ODIN to get back to factory fresh!!!
So sorry for the long post but I am out of ideas and am thinking it my actually be a hardware issue.
Thought I'd throw this out to you all and see if there are any ideas I may have not tried.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or advice.
can you install a stock rom back onto it? There is a baseband selection mode that you may have to do.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
1. Go to Dialer. Dial *#*#4636#*#*
2. Go to Phone information. Choose the preferred network to
"GSM Auto PRL" or "CDMA Auto PRL" or whatever you have.
3. Scroll down, deactivate and activate Phone Radio.
4. Press Menu button.
5. Select Phone frequency, then choose your country.
6. In the previous menu push the Home button to go back to Homescreen.
7. Reboot.
(By Brainmaster)
Ive had to run this a few times depending on radio and rom.
after many trials I am sticking with rooted stock.
Wow that is defiantly a menu I have never seen before.
It doesn't let me select any of the preferred carrier option. When I tap on GSM auto (PRL) it just closes and defaults back Unknown.

Ya, I think it is. RIP Nexus S. HTC Sensation here I come.
after you select gsm auto you hit the menu button on your phone then select the carrier. I know its not labeled what it is on the walkthrough but its similar. not phone frequency but like signal or something. then yuo jsut select usa.
reboot and it should find whatever your service is on its own.
have you tried going back to stock rom? I used this version to go back when i thought i bricked out my phone and its been great. I think my friend used it too but he wont admit he used somethign i gave him.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I have the same problem as the OP and I think this is exactly what I did wrong.
I wasn't paying attention when I updated Cyanogenmod and I chose the Nexus s 4G instead of regular Nexus s.
Ever since then my baseband has been "unknown" (except in fastboot, where is shows as KB3 (which I updated to as one of my attempts to fix it).
I have gone back to stock, no change. I have updated the radio, no change.
I have no idea what else to do. Does anyone have any ideas??

I've wiped user data/factory reset a few times now. Is there a higher-level format option that I should be using?
I thought for sure that going back to stock (based on these instructions - theunlockr.com/2011/01/20/how-to-unroot-the-nexus-s/) would work, but no such luck.
I find it perplexing that the baseband shows in fastboot, but nowhere else. *#*#4636#*#* shows radio off and network type unknown, settings/about phone/ shows baseband version unknown.
I tried different methods that I've found online over the weekend, but nothing has brought my radio back.
I am certainly open to suggestions!
I'm going to provide as much additional information as possible.
I have a Nexus S I9020A, running on Fido (Canada).
My initial problem stems from when I updated to cyanogenmod 7.1 from 7.0. My first (and likely biggest) mistake was not making a backup. Oops.
I think I accidentally chose "Nexus S 4G" instead of "Nexus S". As soon as I did that, I stopped getting any cellular voice or data connection (wifi continues to work fine). Under Phone Information, it said it was a Nexus S 4G.
The phone locks itself into airplane mode now. When I try to turn airplane mode off through the settings menu, it hangs. When I hold down power and choose "turn airplane mode off" it seems to work, but then I still get no signal.
I have pushed it back down to stock. It now remembers that it is a Nexus S (not 4G), but it didn't help the baseband problem.
I have tried to reflash the baseband. no effect.
I called Fido and got them to "repush" the SIM card. No effect.
I am humbly appreciative of any and all help that anyone can provide!

Thanks! This is similar to some other threads I saw on the android forum (and elsewhere on XDA).
I'll try this when I get home (and get to a reliable wifi signal).
Wow! I haven't looked at my post in a wile. Hopefully you all are getting some resolution to these issues. I ended up calling Samsung and they agreed to fix my Nexus under warranty. They replaced some parts that I can't remember off the top of my head, but it should arive at my door tomorrow!!!

Hmmm bad news... my efs folder appears to be empty. Now what?
A very frustrating day... Thought i would have it fixed pretty quick, alas....
My efs folder is empty. I guess that explains the lack of radio, but it appears that i might need to send the phone to Samsung to get the efs reflashed. Is there a way to write it back myself? Ill look tomorrow i guess.
Here is some more info:
I just tried to update to 2.3.6
Clockwork mod is giving me an error message:
Assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "crespo" || get prop("rp.build.product") == "crespo"
E:error in [filename]
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
Not sure if that helps but it's another piece of thepuzzle hopefully.
*sigh*
So it appears that I need a backup of my /efs folder in order to fix this myself (which I do not have).
I know what my IMEI should be, however I have no idea if it is even possible to take someone else's backup and alter it the proper IMEI.
I fear my next option will be to submit it for repair at a Samsung repair shop (and be without a phone even longer )

You could flash back to stock firmware and try again. If the error persists then the files are probably not right for your phone.

The files the OP pulled are for his phone based on the baseband shown. It looks like it may be related to the OTA update that came through recently.

That explains it, the OTA update includes a slightly changed kernel (based on what I saw in the diffs) that is likely causing your WiFi issue. Can you try applying motorhead's kernel from here and see if WiFi starts working? I know it is not a full fix, but it should get your wifi back to working while motorhead and I coordinate on getting a stock kernel that can be flashed from CWR put together.
YEEEEE HAAAAWWWWW

Camera, BT and sound, seems like everything works.
Can't imagine why not a "Full fix".
Thank You !!!!
Says there is an OTA update, after it downloads, I get tossed into CWM bootloader 6.1.1 and the update doesn't get applied.
All I do is choose 'reboot system'.
Also I'm getting ...

We really need a custom ROM for this great device, no bloat, no AT&T updates, no AT&T bloatwares, No CIQ, No City ID.
I would be HAPPY to PAY for a custom ROM and have it delivered two weeks from last Thursday. Jellybean?
Someone like me who chooses a rugged phone may not be into all the bells and whistles, so a basic stripped down

The lag is a noted issue, along with the WiFi shutting off randomly and intermittently. I'm researching these issues as much as I can to find a fix, but I can only do so much so fast .
I was going to start a new thread but then I found this. I too had the issue with I the wifi turning off and the screen lag. After reflashing the no bloat Odin image and the 1.1 kernel my wifi turns on, but does not find any networks. It just searches then shuts off? Any ideas? I wonder if the stock kernel being worked on would fix this or if there is something else wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I sent the rugby smart to SAM to have it completely reloaded. when it comes back, i will try to make a back up much like i make an image of a hard drive...if that's possible.
For my PC, I have an image of this existing hard drive. If i pull it out and put in a BLANK hard drive, I can write the image to the new disk with all my apps installed...I use that feature often with my pc's and others...for mine, I frequently make a new updated image and delete the oldest one.
Once I change the bootloader, is it possible to get it back if I backed up with with Kies?
You guys are in luck. Kernel1.2 should be out shortly with the lag and wifi fixed . I'm waiting to hear back from another tester, but so far ut's proven stable. I've only had one error pop up, and that was after running pretty hard.
Motorhead1991, Is this for the Samsung Rugby Smart?
How much of, if any, overclocking??
Can you also tweak a non-overclocked version without "City ID" app, "Carrier IQ" app and possibly no AT&T bloatware??
You rock for everything thus far
No overclocking just yet, but I'm giving it hell. On the bright side, Kemonine and myself are currently treading in uncharted territory for this device (see if anyone gets my reference)
And to answer your question, yes it'll be for the Rugby.
iam not sure
thats a good question

After a day of use, it seems very stable and even more efficient.
That is great news! Can't wait to test

Yeah, it actually did hurt to ask that one.
So after flashing the following new odin images
•Stock boot / kernel:
•Stock Boot + Stock Recovery + Stock System:
•Stock Boot + CWR 6.0.1.2 + No Bloat System:
My WiFi still turns on, searches for a while, finds nothing and turns back off! I have no idea what to do next. Any ideas?

When you flashed via ODIN did it show it was flashing the boot area? In the status window it should tell you which images are being flashed to the device. Can you re-try the stock boot/kernel ODIN image and confirm it did flash the boot image?
That is the only thing that booted. As soon as I selected the image I got a "MD5 checksum failed" prompt. The "start" button changed to the same message but it let me click it and it loads the boot.img. Does that help at all?

I would have posted this in the Sensation Android development area, but I don't have sufficient privileges to do so.
I no longer have WiFi.
I am using the 4.1.2 CM Kang, and I originally had WiFi working with that ROM, but it stopped working about a weeks ago, and I can't get it to come back.
If I watch the Wifi on/off toggle, I can see it blink white for a split second then return to grayed out about once every 5-10 seconds.
I've checked the WiFi settings, and the only thing that looks peculiar is that the region code under Advanced says "Europe," but when I try to change that, it just reverts.
I have tried a factory data reset,re-flash of the ROM, and installing newer versions of the ROM with no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
tried this ?
WiFi will not turn on

I tried to install WiFix Manager, and I followed the directions closely, but WiFi still will not turn on.
The country code always reverts back to Europe in the Advanced WiFi Settings.
I'm on T-Mobile US, running AOKP aokp_pyramid_unofficial_Oct-19-12.zip; a JB ROM; 4.1.2
I previously tried the CM10 Kang for the HTC Sensation, but switched ROMs to make sure that it wasn't issue with the ROM.
To be clear, my problem is not that the WiFi radio never locks to a particular signal, it's that the WiFi radio won't even turn on.
When I go to WiFi settings it just says, "Turning on WiFi...," and never actually turns on.
My best guess was that it had something to do with the WiFi country code, but that's really just a stab in the dark; open to suggestions.
Thanks

Surely, there's someone out there that can help?

In order of easiest and quickest to longest time it will take to do each one...
Install the latest version of the ROM (10/23) overtop of your existing rom (5 minutes)
If that doesn't work...
Do a full wipe and install a fresh copy of the latest version. (15 minutes, with Nandroid backup)
If that doesn't work...
Format your SD card (save all the contents to your computer first) (40 minutes between copying every to the computer and back to the SD card)
NON ROM RELATED OPTION IF YOU ARE S-OFF
Reinstall your firmware as it's possible something got messed up. You will have to boot to recovery after this and wipe cache and dalvik or you will get bootloops. (5 minutes, but a little more involved)
My guess is that the full wipe and fresh install is the most likely to work the first time.

is there a sensation specific guide for this procedure?
Still perplexed
How do I know which kernel and radio combination should work best with my ROM. I switched out to AOKP to see if that was the problem, and I believe I'm using the 3.33 Kernel, but I don't know how to check to make sure it installed correctly.
Had the same problem as you but a full wipe and reflash would bring it back. Seems to be a CM10 problem since it happens with Bruce's and Paranoid roms. Try a Sense rom and see if wifi works.
Is OpenSense considered a "Sense ROM?"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926858
Try that rom, more stable and better performance than all the popular roms.
I had the same problem only option was another room Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_6.8.0 (this is the rom)
so long, and thanks for all of the fish...
I figured it out.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S III. WiFi is working again.
Thanks for all of the help!
wifi cm10
I have tried several CM10 roms. It is as you said about the region code. It reverts back to the original and doesnt save it on the settings
Even though editing db file doesn't work. Actually it changes the country code. I guess the ROM changes it during booting. Because while it boots you can see that the wifi is connecting first then goes off. I have tried several roms. DOnno what the problem is. probably JB both on cm10 and aokp
I have two questions 1) is my only way to fix this to go back to stock ICS using ODIN? 2) Once i get back to that, what do i do in order to get to a working version of JB? is it as simple as trying another ROM? Is it ok to skip ICS and just flash another version of JB?
Background if you want it....
Followed vincon guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1773659
Started with Stock ATT 4.0.4
CWM via odin
baseb: UCLI3
I flashed JB [ROM] [4.1.2] [UCLL3] Stock Debloat to my i727 last night. Everything went seemingly smooth, everything worked with a strange exception being my exchange account wouldn't authenticate.Today my service is off about 95% of the time, then it will come on and ill get a text or two, then it goes off. voice calls dont work at all. LTE data is hit or miss.WiFi works
In phone status under network type its toggling: UTMS:3 to HSPA:11 to HSPAP15 to no service...then it drops everything and service state will say out of service and disconnected.
My IMEI is correct, I confirmed that.
It tried dialing the *#*#XXXX#*#* thing, that just said no connection and ended.
I started to go down the path of looking to flash a new radio, but that just doesn't seem like the answer to me... obviously the risk of me being wrong is high. i did check the MD5 numbers on other radios though and they came back as mismatched, so i did nothing there.
Also i wiped cache 3 times, as well as dalvek
Is there a simple solution that Ive missed or do i need to go to stock via ODIN? What, if anything, did i do wrong>
If you didn't flash corresponding UCLL3 baseband - AFAIK intermittent service is expected.
If you need to flash baseband - flash the latest UXUMA7 baseband.
Well i've actually had the exact same problem, in several variations and on several androids and here's my conclusions:
1 Magnetic storms and grid issues with the carrier. There's not much to do about these, except maybe for a making a tin hat for your phone. But, on a second thought this would also kill the signal
2 If the issue persists for more than a couple of days then the other thing for me was = radios that just didn't work with my carrier or rom. Changing these showed instant results.
I actually had this exact problem but for me it was on the carrier end. I tried every ROM and radio out there to no avail. After about a month and my parents also experiencing the issue, we called the carrier and they had it fixed in about two weeks.
