Please help - Cyanogen Nightmare! Can't connect to cell network

EDIT: RIGHT AFTER POSTING, MY PHONE RANDOMLY STARTED WORKING. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I DID BESIDES POST HERE. MAGIC.
I installed Cyanogen version 7.2.0 just fine using the guide that was found here: http://www.mrmuh.com/2012/01/update-a-motorola-milestone-from-motorola-firmware-to-cyanogenmod-7/
However, the next morning I think I enabled the 2g/3g switch widget - and then my phone entered into a constant and continuous loop of "com.android.phone has unexpectedly closed" - and couldn't connect to cell service.
In a panic, I searched everywhere for fixes. I then tried a few of the fixes which instructed you to download "sqlite editor" and do some edits to the settings file. I did this, along with a couple of other network edits, resetting them to "0" instead of the "1" they were currently set to. No help.
Finally, I went into the Open Recovery system and did a full reset on cache/factory reset/etc. and then rebooted into cyanogen. Now my network won't even connect for a half a second and then crash like before - just straight up NO CONNECTION.
Now I've went through and attempted changing back some of those settings I messed around with in Sqlite - but to no avail.
Anyone with any ideas on how I can get an operating phone again, please let me know. I noticed I still have all my apps from previously, so I don't think I'm really factory resetting the phone. That could be part of the issue, I'm sure....I am very depressed and hoping for a miracle!!

Look into installing minimod recovery and then flashing the correct radio for your location after a full wipe.
If you do a google search you should find minimod. I'm on my phone or I would just link you.

OK Thanks for your reply.
However, randomly, just after I posted this - I looked down and my phone had a full 2G Connection. Went into baseband settings, enabled 850 band 3G, and now I have full 3G connectivity.
I have no clue how this happened. XDA forum is magical?
Thanks again for your reply, but thankfully I don't need the minimod suggestion as of now!!

You're welcome. You might want to go ahead and install minimod though. I made the mistake of not having it installed and flashed a new rom without the ability to select bands and was without a phone all day. It's better safe than sorry.

Good call. I'm just quite happy this is working now, but you are right, don't want that doomsday feeling again. Thanks

im having the same problem here :// i only can get cellNetwork if i restart with airplane mod.. then after i rebooted i go back to normal 3G/2G mode but otherwise i dnt get cell signal// also seems like wifi has some bugs im using HOHO CM7

[Q] Mobile network not working after flashing (ICS)

So, I tried few ROMs and kernels, but every time I had big problem, my network wasn't working.. Not only data, I couldn't make phone calls or send SMS.
Any experience with that?
EDIT: that happened only with ICS roms, now I'm back to GB and it works normally.

Ok, are you on stock FW? If not, which one do you have?
Is your N8000 rooted?
If so, try to flash another modem.

Thanks to everyone of you that made an effort on helping me about this problem.
I did a factory reset from setting again and also manually did a hard reset from recovery mode but the bluetooth still doesn't want to come on.
I went to SETTING, ABOUT and STATUS and I saw an available mac address for wi-fi but the bluetooth mac address was Unavailable.
I will really appreciate any help for this bluetooth issue. Thanks in advance.

Just checked mine and with Bluetooth off, the BT MAC Address also shows as unavailable. It only shows up when I turn BT on.

Wifi unable to reconnect when coming back in range

I have this rather annoying problem with my OPO: When I'm on WiFi and go out of range and get within range of another WiFi (eg leaving from home in the morning and getting on the train where there's also WiFi) my OPO will not connect.
I've tried switching WiFi off and back on, tried forgetting network and connecting again but the network just displays as "Saved". Only thing that works is a reboot. Funny thing is that it actually detects open WiFi's and displays the question mark in the notification bar.
I've read that themes can cause WiFi problems so I haven't changed that. I'm using the Apex launcher with no visual changes.
I've rooted my phone but left the bootloader locked.
Any advice?

I'm rooted with the TWRP custom recovery installed. I had the same thing happen to me. If you toggle airplane mode on/off, it will reconnect. But, as for a solution, my fix was to restore a previous TWRP backup of my phone. I also had heard that the problem could be coming from a theme. What themes have you used? I bought the Flux theme and have been using its style and fonts. I was running the stock CM11s when this happend just a few days after getting my OPO. I would try a factory reset first. If that does not work, there is a thread in the OPO forums about flashing a factory image and getting back to 100% stock.
I have switched to the CM11 nightlies as of a couple of days ago. I will probably refrain from messing around with the theme packs for now.

Will probably unlock the bootloader. Then a factory reset should be taken care of I guess...

I'm now on KTU84P and the problem is still there
Yesterday I failed to flash MAHDI and ended up clearing everything from my phone. I had to follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541
to get back to pre-KTU84P (can't remember the build number).
So I guess it's safe to say that my phone has had all sorts of memory cleared. And the problem is still there...

I really hate to hear that you are still having the wifi issue. One would think that if you flashed all partitions with a factory image that it would solve the problem. You might want to have a look at this thread. This guy was unsuccessful in fixing his efs and bluetooth problems until he flashed Color OS and then went back to CM. Have a read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/fix-people-corrupt-efs-mobile-data-t2836389
Keep us posted.

Will have a look at the ColorOS thread. But I think I'll give Mahdi another go first to see what that brings me.
Thanks for the link.

Flashed Mahdir ROM yesterday and though the rom works just fine my WiFi reconnect issue has not been resolved
I find flashing yet another rom (ColorOS) sounds a bit drastic. Really no way of debugging what's wrong?

Although is sounds drastic I think it would be worth trying.

kevinga said:

No. I'm waiting for the update to hit my phone and install it to see if that solves it. In the meantime though, I installed an app called Smart WiFi Locker that seems to keep the issue solved (for now)

Thanks for sharing. I think there are two things that can produce a major restore/fix to a phone - a nandroid restore and a major rom update. I hope it fixes yours. The nandroid restore is what saved mine.

Been there. Done that. Read the book. Got the t-shirt.
Flashed ColorOS.
Factory reset.
Booted and got through into ColorOS (skipped account setup).
Booted into recovery.
Factory reset.
Restore backup of CM11S.
No dice :'-(
What are my options now?
A couple of days ago I completely wiped my OPO - radio, modem, everything and flashed a new stock image. Nothing has helped.
I really find it hard to believe this to be a hardware issue.

Just for clarification - after flashing Color OS, did you turn on wifi and use it to see if the problem was still there while in Color OS?

If your WiFi 2.4 or 5GHZ?

Yes. I would recommend you consider doing that. If it works then I would flash a fresh Cm11s rom, not a nandroid backup. Flash the Color OS and do a full check of the Wifi.

I was having the same issue, but here's what I did and it seems to have resolved my issue.
1) Updated firmware on my ASUS AC68 router
2) Boot into recovery mode (volume down+power), wipe cache and media, then factory wipe
3) When setting up phone, did not apply CM theme on the options after logging into CM account.
It seems like WiFi might drop when you get to homescreen, just reboot phone and Wifi should reconnect. Make sure to go into your WiFi settings and remove any networks that was saved, and re-add.
Still not ideal (since it seems like themes might be killing WiFi for some users), so hopefully a new OTA update will solve this problem.

Issues with 2CQL1 build - Help!!

So I've "successfully" updated to v8.0 using the above method. I'm currently on build 2CQL1. I updated from AQH7 to 2BQJA and then to CRA4 using the Samsung Firmware Science downloads. My phone is stock AT&T (not unlocked), and is not rooted. When going to CRA4, I encountered a pretty significant error which continues to plague me. I've searched through the forums and haven't read anything on similar to this issue. I cannot use Always on Display. It has to be turned off, and..I cannot take the update in Google play for the Always on Display app. If I try and take the update, the phone goes into this weird state: Screen dark except for the edge indicator. Phone will vibrate three times, but screen will remain dark. Only options I have is to try and restart or turn off. I was able to get into the recovery menu, and do a reset to factory settings. However, upon doing that I noticed that I was running build 2CQL1. After doing this a couple of times, I finally figured it out it was the AOD that was giving me issues. So I disabled it in the phone settings, and will not take the update in Google Play.
Update: Now, I'm getting the vibrations randomly, even with AOD turned off. The phone is still functional, but I fear I may have to reboot and do a reset at any moment.
Anybody have any thoughts on how I can get back to a stock version of ATT software? Again, I don't need to root or even unlock my phone. Just looking for the stock software so I can have a functional device.
Thanks in advance

This is all set. I downloaded the latest official AT&T update, and installed using ODIN. Thanks to everyone for the assistance. It had been a while since I had done anything like that. Back to the Samsung Infuse days.
