[Q] Phone Won't Connect To Network - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A friend of mine bought a Nexus 5 and had it for a week and it worked perfectly. He decided he wanted to sell so I bought it off him. We did a factory reset on it to delete all his data etc off of it and after when I put my sim card in and went to set it up to use it, it doesn't connect to my network automatically. When I choose my network in the setting it will say "registering to network" and then say "can't connect to network at this time please try again later" I have tried using different sim card from different companies and it still does the same thing.
Please Help!!

Need Help!!

does your friend's sim still work on it?
are you rooted?
try to re-flash radio image.

This seems to be a really common problem with these phones. I have personally known two people's phones did this and the only solution was to RMA it. Not to mention numerous other reports of the same problem here on XDA.

I had the same problem and that didn't fix it. It was hardware related.

i suggest also to flash cache image, then factory reset.

Might as well flash the factory image if you don't care about data. That way, all possibilities would be covered.

I flashed the factory image and it's still doing the same thing. I'm guessing it a hardware problem, might as well send it in for a replacement.

[Q] Flashed 4.4.4 deoxdexed stock rom, Calls dont work HELP

so i was on cataclysm from the beginning and everything worked great. I flashed stock 4.4.4 cause i want to use just xposed with a nice vanilla rom. everything works great except i cant get or place calls. i have sprint lte full bars, can get data and everything send texts/mms, go on facebook, dl stuff, just no calls. wifi or not doesnt matter either. everytime i try to place one it just sits on dialing and i lose all bars and then says can t make call, no connection. once i hang up the bars and lte come back.
I have noticed my network ends up on global sometimes instead of LTE but even when i switch it to LTE it still doesnt work. i have updated prl and profile too. Any ideas? thanks
EDIT: yeah i still cant seem to fix it. I was going to go back to a 4.4.2 rom but for some reason it fails in twrp everytime now... :/ but this is the exact problem i am having in this thread https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/Or6_6zCtBwc
seems like it might be sprints fault

Install 4.4.4 using fastboot. And after make sure you are using the latest version of twrp.

Personally I would flash the factory images again just to rule out software being the issue, if it still happens then I guess RMA or whatever.

I doubt it is sprint causing this, or it would be all over these forums. I'd definitely install 4.4.4 via fastboot it'll give you the newest radio and the stock recovery. I'm betting this will fix your issue. Then just use fastboot or flashify to install the newest twrp, and flash su in recovery. If this doesn't fix it, it's a hardware issue.

thanks ill try it out when i got a spare moment. now that im thinking of it this all happened after i updated twrp, so could that be the root of all this you think? because i used the twrp app to update it instead of flashing, and i noticed it has been acting extremely weird lately.
You might check your APN settings. I had issues with MMS after flashing 4.4.4.

IMEI Unknown

Hi guys! I've looked all around and tried the fixes that people recommended, which is basically going back to stock.
So this is what happened to my brother's phone:
Was using the phone and all a sudden the phone freezes (He was on Android L) and he rebooted it. After rebooting, the phone went into bootloop. He downloaded some program that supposedly fixes softbrick and bootloop (by flashing stock ROM) Nexus Root Toolkit v1.8.7.
The phone was fixed.. Kinda.. He couldn't get any cell signal. Turns out his baseband and IMEI read unknown. He has the box the phone came in, to we know the physical IMEI number.
Is there a fix for this? I've tried this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/lost-imei-please-help-t2529103 but it didn't work.
Any ideas?

Also check if wifi mac address is changing after each reboot. Corrupted persist partition can cause problems like that and also other things like crasing apps
Check out my thread about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/guide-to-fix-persist-partition-t2821576. It worths a try. If it does not help then you have to buy a new motherboard or claim your warranty if you have any.

Then it is up to you what are you going to do with the persist partition. You will lose nothing but time by formating the persist partition. If it not fix your problem then you have to buy a new motherboard for the phone to make phone calls either way because you dont have any efs backup.

[q] samsung galaxy s4 stuttering.

Hi there.
I have recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone, and i am having some problems with it.
While watching youtube videos, and also while doing anything else on the phone, the screen will freeze for around 2-3 seconds, then unfreeze again.
This happens roughly every 3 minutes roughly.
I have tried clearing the youtube cache
I have tried enabling developer mode and turning on 'Force GPU rendering'.
I have tried rooting my phone, and downloading an app called project butter, which you may have heard of.
None of these actions have fixed the stuttering, so i really need help to find a permanent fix, or at the least, a temporary fix.
If someone could please help me out with this, i'd greatly appreciate it.
Thank you

It's pretty easy.. Since you're already rooted, just flash a custom recovery, do a Nandroid, flash the ROM and Gapps through that after wiping. I can help you with it though PM if you want But if you like the stock Samsung ROM, try a do a factory reset before that Hit thanks if I helped

I had the same issue, phone was 2 weeks old when I took it into the samsung care centre. Fast charging wasn't working and sometimes while connected to my laptop it connect and disconnect itself. Fast charging is working perfectly since replacing the USB port.
They didn't check Knox but did go into the settings\about device\status to see if it said "Official"
Basically my advise is restore stock ROM via Odin before returning.
EDIT: Just read that you can't even connect via Odin Factory reset is your best option, unless your running a custom ROM in which case Device Status will remain "Custom" after a factory reset...

SuperSU would stay as long as either you reflash your system using Odin or complete firmware. Or you can just unroot it in settings of SuperSU

Exactly. So FACTORY REST will not remove SuperSU as it is incorporated into system as system file. Only the user settings and apps are formatted in a factory reset. Thus, it would have no affect on Supersu. I hope your question is answered

So basically I can unroot in settings, factory reset and then it will be official? And if they will not check flash counter I "have warranty "?

I thought I saw a Google forms link on your signature 2 days ago asking who wants unlock? I filled the form. I hope to get a free unlock for my tmobile s7. It currently $70 on eBay. Been going up since last month. ?

Will this procedure clear data? Factory reset?
Can someone please confirm if this clears existing data? I thought Odin doesn't work in this case because of the locked bootloaded on Verizon?

Yes, it probably will. If you are that worried about it, backup your data first. Odin will work even with the bootloader locked. Locked bootloader does not prevent you from loading official firmware.

What app can we use to back up all data like apps sceen layout ect... since we don't have root on Verizon, I know we can't use titanium back up because we don't have root bit is their a similar app to do what that does

Not sure you'll be able to preserve that. I was referring to user data, not system data.

Helium or My Backup Pro, but they are limited without root, which means some data can be restored, but not all.

I extract and I get several files? None of them being .tar files. Does anyone have the 4 files to flash in odin? Am I the only one who didn't get the 4 files mentioned when extracting the Md5? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Nobody?

You have to go in odin and select PDA and then add the entire md5 file! If you don't want to do it that way, then you have to download a zipping app like 7z or similar and create the .tar yourself.. Which is pointless unless you're planning on flashing 1 file like the boot.img for a reason or other.. The md5 file has all of the files that need to be flashed there's no need to unzip the files. Just flash as is!
If you're downloading from the OP then you need to unzip the file from the .zip because you can only flash .md5 or .tar.

Thanks. I have issue of my note saying "searching for signal" with full bars until i make a call. I dont think flashing the full file in Ap reset my modem to stock.

Try flashing a modem only file then which is for that signal.. Also boot into recovery using the 3 button combo and clear your Cache after a flash..

I've cleared it after flash and no fix. Does anyone have a modem file I could use. Does it have to be from the same firmware version? Sorry just not really experienced just need to fix this phone it's killing me. I got it off Craigslist don't know the history of it I just know that flashing a fresh stock rom didn't fix the issue.

Is it an actual Verizon phone? And do you know for sure that it's Verizon? Go into settings then about phone and tell me what model it says. If it says other than SM-N920V then it's not a Verizon one.. You can only flash firmware for a specific carrier.. Also check the APN settings too.. And about the modem no you don't have to use the same exact one from the same firmware version you can try a different one however I don't think that'll fix the problem.. Try checking the APN settings first.. Also if you just dropped a sim card into it without first giving Verizon the IMEI then it's not gonna work! You'll have to give them the IMEI and if the IMEI is bad the phone will never work at least not with Verizon.

It is indeed n920v clean imei through verizon prepaid. It gets apn through SIM card which is accurate I have signal T all times and internet/mms work. However when I boot my phone or randomly every so often it will say 'searching for service' throughout the day while still full having signal. During this time I don't receive calls/messages/internet notifications and it is stuck that way until I notice it and dial my voicemail which it then displays "Verizon wireless" and then all notifications come through.

Maybe try using this downgraded version from my Android File Host and flash it using odin but before flashing take the sim card out and after it's done flashing immediately do a factory reset by holding the power and volume down button and after the screen turns off and then back on select shut down and then boot into recovery and do the factory reset after it's finished put the sim card back in then turn it on and go through all the setup and see if it works.. Let the phone charge some first don't try doing this at 3% battery cause if it shuts down in the middle it can brick the phone. Not likely but it could.
