[Q] No service on NS4G

OK, so I'm about to go crazy here.
My phone (NS4G) has absolutely no service. I get bars, but am unable to make or receive calls or SMS, nor have I data service. I've tried different radios, different roms, everything I can think of for the past two hours and nothing. It can't be the service in my location since my aunt has Sprint service and she's right next to me and can do everything just fine.
Any tips before I get on a rampage?
FWIW: When I dial a call, it rings twice and I get some weird message that isn't even from Sprint.

Did you flash a GSM Nexus S ROM? That's the only thing that I can think of right now that would cause that .

Nope. I've tried CM9, CM7, and stock Gingerbread (GRJ22) and nothing. I'm telling you, this is driving me nuts and there seems to be no explanation whatsoever...

What's your baseband. Also check you IMEI.

Interesting. My phone number and MSID aren't showing right. What can I do about this other than calling Sprint, which I can't do right now?

I would flash completely back to stock, flash the latest officially released basebands and radios, then unroot. If you still can't get it to work, bring it into a sprint store and tell them your phone just stopped working and that you have no idea what is happening. Don't mention rooting or anything like that and I am sure they will help you out.
Another suggestion can you force your phone to roam with a program like roam control to see if anything starts working?
Also, any chance your service could have been cut off?

Can't receive, can send sms.

Hey, my girlfriend got a LG optimus Hub phone, like 3 months ago. It was all working fine until like a week before. Once in a while there comes this problem that she can't receive any sms, but she can still send me an sms. When she takes out the sim card and puts it into another phone, all the sms i've sent she receives then. And then when puts the sim back in her phone, she can receive the sms. And then it works fine for like a day, and then the problem starts all over.. What could it be? How to fix it?
Oh, and btw, it's the stock ROM and the phone has only been rooted, nothing else.

Anyone? :S

Has noone really had this problem before? :/

You might just want to try and update your towers.
What carrier are you on?

She's on Tele 2, that's the most popular carrier in Latvia.
Btw, what's towers update? 0.o

In the states you are able to type in a code (usually the same number used for activation) and it will just reconfigure to the cell towers in your area.

Oh no, that's not the case here. We don't really need an activation code here, too. So that's something different.. :/ It happened today, like 2 hours ago, again. We had to put the sim card in another phone and after like 20 mins, we got all the SMS. Then when put the sim back in the LG, it works again. But this happens like everyday. :/ The incoming messages just get stuck, but she can still send them. :/

On some sms/mms stock apps there are settings that if checked can block all outgoing and or incoming sms and mms messages. Check the settings of the app itself and if all else fails there are some really good free 3rd party messaging apps available as a replacement.

Have you applied any updates recently? A buddy of mine installed a carrier update and it made his phone go all wonky. I would suggest backing up her data and doing a factory reset. Factory resets usually always fix software issues like what you're experiencing... Also if you do a backup, start from scratch don't restore any data from the backup as you don't know what is triggering the issue....

It's not the messaging apps fault, that's for sure. Checked that one like tons of times, and tried out other apps, the problem always shows up.
Well I guess that I'll just have to do a factory reset. :/ But could it maybe fix it, by installing another ROM? Like Optimus HUB has an official support for CM7.

signal?

Oh no, actually I haven't. I'll try it next time the problem occurs and see if it fixes it!

Anyone got some new ideas what could cause this? :/
The airplane mode toggling doesn't help. :/

I've heard somewhere about something that SIM cards can get old and then this thing happens when they sometimes get stuck and you can't receive sms.
So yeah, my girlfriends SIM is like 5 years old, could that really be the problem?

So, i told my GF to go and ask for a new SIMcard, and that fixed the problem. Basically it was just too old SIM. Im just saying if anyone gets the same problem.

4g works... That's all. Help getting calls and texts please.

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?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31051731
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.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867442

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

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

Messed something up, now roaming. Help?

I have a verizon sammy galaxy s3
last night i was flashing some old restores, trying to decide what rom to play with for the next week.
Phone booted from one of them and would not activate. Phone is stuck on Roaming ... i got the data warning, and also the triangle is near the signal area
I've tried flashing other roms, tried wiping all data/cache and starting over. cant activate phone
Right now im trying a factory reset from within Settings, and will let you know if it works ... but im in a jam and need phone for work so im posting this in hopes someone knows what my issue is.
Thank you all very much

this should be in the QandA forum. it will be moved if you cannot locate it in this forum when you check for replies.
check your network settings to make sure they werent changed. sometimes that happens.
do you have your IMEI?

go to my stickied guide above...follow section 5. use the vralg1 file, then reprovision your device with dialer code *2767*3855#
and for future reference post your questions in the q&a section.

you did not look too hard did you...

yes definitely. This has something to do with the phone thinking im roaming. Up near the signal bars i have the little roaming triangle, and if i try to make a phone call it says call not authorized because i am roaming, etc
so this is definitely having to do with the fact that the phone is stuck in roaming mode

There have been two times i've had issues flashing and lost service for no reason. Turned out verizon suspended my account, call this number (800) 922-0204 and type in account stuff and your number. If it says your account is currently suspended it'll then ask if you want to activate it.. you give an emphatic 1!!! and for me this has worked twice.

Had some time so i ran to VZW. They replaced the SIM and tried hard reset like 4 times but nothing worked. They eventually offered me a free Warranty replacement by mail. I asked her to note my account but i didnt want the replacement just yet ... i said this because she mentioned id have to mail back my original, i was afraid they would see the root and charge me. Is that possible?
Anyhow, going to try the method here for right now, ill report back:

[Q] Broken Flash Help - Verizon SG3 Flashed to Straight Talk error

I have a Verizon SG3 that was remotely flashed to Straight Talk by MrHunter back in January. Its been working fine up until a few days ago. I started getting this message whenever I try and make a phone call, "Welcome to Verizon Wireless. There was an error in processing your call. Please power down, and turn off your phone, then turn your phone back on and try your call again. If this continues, please dial #8899 for assistance."
I tried calling in to straight talk but their suggestion is to dial *22890, which I know you are not supposed to do with a flashed phone.
I have data, but no phone calls and no texts. On the Status of the phone it shows the Mobile Network State as Disconnected.
I need help trying to figure out what happened. Why all of a sudden do i not have service?
