[GUIDE]Fix NO DATA-NO VOICE CALLS - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

SYMPTOMS:
*You have WiFi and bluetooth but your OnePlus One does not recognize your SIM and no IMEI / IMEI SV in settings.
*After a Reboot you loose WiFi/BLuetooth and still no voice calls or data / no IMEI.
WHAT YOU HAVE TO TRY FIRST:
You have to try this solution FIRST. Thx to markbencze and Vonnegut.
RISKS:
I have personally tried/discovered this after i tried all the solutions here in XDA (read UP). No Persist, no CLEAN ROM FLASH, no Color OS. Nothing. Every solutions brought me nothing. No voice calls no mobile data. Only WIfi BLuetoth not working after a reboot.
I take no responsability about a damage of your phone. The only guys that tried this method, untill now, are me and Igomezu. Here his post about the resolution of this ISSUE
This what Cyanogen team answered about this method.
SO if you have lost all hopes and you OnePlus One its a large paperwheight.... then you can try this.
WHAT TO DO:
Put your phone in download mode (volume UP + Power).
send these fastboot commands:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
I tried these commands after a clean r38 flash.
After this you can boot up your phone normally.
Now you should have your mobile connection up and running, your correct IMEI in your setting, your WiFi and Bluetooth Back and stable after a reboot. A normal OnePlus One.
ENDING:
I opened this thread also to talk about possible issues using this method.
Hope this can help to comprehend why it WORKS.

Thanks!!! This save my Oneplus One.

That's a fantastic guide, guys!

[Q] Galaxy s2 no service after factory reset

Hi all,
I bought the GS2 two weeks ago, did nothing but rooting it, stayed with the original gingerbread OS.
A few days ago i noticed i had no reception, i tried turning airplane mode on, and then off (to restart the connection), but the phone got stuck in airplane mode.
I restarted the phone a couple of times, but it didn't work - still was stuck in airplane mode. I eventually decided to factory reset it.
After doing this the phone was not in airplane mode anymore, but it had no service (a circle with a cross line is appearing in the top right corner).
The really strange thing is that i have no imei number, no wifi or BT mac (when entering the 'about' section in the settings menu).
It looks like the phone still thinks it stuck in flight mode.
I tried looking in the efs dir, and noticed that the files nv_data.bin, nv_core.bin, their md5's and the nv_state files, all were renamed (now starting with a dot, hidden files).
I tried removing the dots from the beginning of the file names, I tried reinstalling the original ROM... nothing helps. I have no backup of the efs dir, before the problem appeared.
I don't know how really flight mode works, but it looks like the process handling it got stuck while entering flight mode, leaving the files in this strange state. Maybe there is a 'flight mode flag' in one of the files, telling the phone it is not allowed to access the files regarding the imei, wifi and BT identifiers.
It is worth mentioning that when i start using the wifi, the wifi mac updates and appears - the same would have happened if the phone was in airplane mode.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
sami
Sorry I don't know but I have *exactly* the same problem and symptoms starting on 7th Aug after 3 months of use. I didn't even root. You're not alone. I think it needs to go back to the shop.
I have the exact same problem. Did anyone find a solution to this?
Never heard about this problem before, but I have a couple of suggestions:
1. Try to power off the phone, remove the SIM card and battery, wait for a minute, insert them and power on the phone.
2. Try to wipe cache and dalvik cache.
3. Try to install a different ROM with full wipe.
Mobile Network Unavaible
Good evening friends!
I am facing a strange problem with my Galaxy S II. Last night I was using the Rom Criskello, and everything was working fine. So I decided to make a backup and install other roms just to test. I installed the rom and my device Miui NDT was unsigned, I ended up doing strange and full wipe to install the ROM GalnetMiui. But I opted to return to the Criskello Rom. This morning I realized that my phone does not make calls and even shows that the data is active, but strangely, the signal is full.
Reinstall the original rom Retail Brazil and yet when I try to make calls I get Mobile Network Unavailable ...
My simcard is old, I'll buy a new one for testing. Someone tell me if this is normal?
galaxy s2 no service
Hi all,
I had a similar problem, while using Skype I suddenly got the dreaded no service indicator.. Took phone to Samsung and they said to check if it was maybe barred from the network which it wasn't.. I was about to take it back to the shop I bought it from, then decided to remove my google account but the phone forced me to do a factory data reset, under settings -> Privacy.
I did this and then...... Happy days all was fine again )
I think it was the skype application that caused the problem but will confirm this...
Life is good again!
Hope this helps...
i having the same problem, after reboot I'm having respiration but only emergency call
it's started as i flash Lp1 modem, in the Base.b it's said Unknown, but after it i flashed KP4 and everything act normal
so i really don't know!!!
i thoght this is something in my modem F.w LP1 so i went back to factory KI4
didn't help.
changed my rom from CM9 to Checkrom v4 didn't help.
factory rest didn't do much.
i found by mistake that if i am using the sim card on different phone make a sort
phone call and putting back the sim card to SG2. only this my letting my take phone call.
I'm hopping may be some one will read my temporary solution, and will help as to find the right solution .
...
restoring the oldest CMW and EFS restore manually didn't do much
i will keep looking, please if someone got a clue ...
Thank you for all
i will keep on going till i will find a solution.
i believe that the main issue is that if i didn't delete /efs all the restoring didn't really restore this folder.
this is very risky, do a good backup with EFS-PRO
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546
it's all started because ididn't do a good backup!!!
pinkman, have any progress?
My solution
got the same ishue on my phone you just need to do a efs restore.
there is an app on the marketplace for that
XXXmarket.android.XXXcom/details?id=net.hellcat.droiddev.ktoolXXX
(remove the XXX)
hope it helps it took me 3 days to find it and get he phone signal back
when you get the app:
press the: backup EFS to /sdcard/efs.img
then click yes verify
next run the check
press the close button
then click on the restore efs from backup(red button)
press the restore img button
press red button again
press the restore tar button
then click on the purple reboot button
and your good to go
you might night to restart after the reboot for the phone's signal to register with the carrier
your phone should be rooted btw
anyway hope this helps everyone, i know it saved me a $400 factory repair bill
good luck

[Q] Vodafone Smart 2 Brick

I'm not sure where to post this, sorry for that.
I haven't found any help or so in any threads about my phone on this forum or on others...
I own a Vodafone Smart 2 (Alcatel V860) mobile phone that I rooted, had the original ROM (got rid of the Vodafone mess ) for a while and then flashed Roeddie's v 0.9.9 (OTA 4) ROM and it was all going well...
Until a couple of days ago when I saw a thread on HtcMania.com claiming a clockworkmod recovery for this phone, so I said why not... (not allowed to post the url...)
I've put the .zip on my SDcard and flashed it via the original recovery. The cwm loaded, but at reboot it was stuck in the original recovery. Sort of Boot Loop.
Happened this before (when flashing some idiot cm7), so I wiped data/factory reset, dalvik, cache partition and I restored a previous backup, supposed to solve that Boot Loop. But, this time, it didn't... The phone was still booting directly into the original recovery.
So I tried another thing. I've started the phone in fastboot mode and used the fastboot method to write that backup. That meant "fastboot erase bootloader, boot, system, userdata, custpack, recovery, cache" and then "fastboot flash the images from the backup", method that I used before and worked without any problem.
But, this time, after I erased everything, when I started to flash the images from the backup... the phone, somehow, POWERED OFF, I still don't have the slightest idea why... :crying:
When i powered it on, the bootloader was missing so it just froze with the Android logo on the screen and after a few seconds it shut down.
I tried starting it in fastboot mode, but no luck. It starts just like that every time, but if I plug the USB cable in it, it doesn't shut down anymore, freezing with the logo on screen.
Windows won't recognize it under any circumstances, no matter what drivers I have. no adb, fastboot. So it's pretty much useless.
If i restart it like 5 times, Windows eventually recognizes it as a Modem. Useless.
I think it's a Soft Brick, because it starts but it has no idea what to do without the bootloader. It would generally be recoverable, but, as you can see, I don't have any method to communicate with this phone...
I would consider the jtag, with a RIFF Box. Taking the motherboard out of it and "writing the dead body", but I don't think the Riff Manager supports this sh**ty phone and I wouldn't like to pay for it.
The phone is still covered by warranty, but I'm not sure if they are going to do it for free, because I messed with it.
I can try that story: "I was taking an OTA Update and the phone never powered on." maybe they are going to buy it.
So is it any other method to write at least the bootloader on it, any other that the ones mentioned before, methods that I have no access to ?

Don't know anything about your phone but all I can sare is that using flashtool, flash the stock kernel(find for your device using search box) and reinstall stock firmware or if your bootloader is unlocked, flash a different kernel with working recovery. I have xperia x10 so not even close to your phone

My bootloader isn't unlocked. No one actually did that until now for this "space craft"...
I don't think that "flashtool" will be able to connect to my phone as Windows doesn't recognize it at all... And, as far as I know, flashtool is only for SONY's Xperia...
Thanks, anyway...

Like i said i have xperia x10 so i have knowledge about my device. You should ask this question in your mobile's forum. That will really help..... I think the solution they will give may be similar but in a different way.

It could be a hard brick and your info seems to confirm this but don't take my word for it. Search on google for issues with your device I seem to remember reply to a thread similar to this a while back.

The I think.this is because when some phones are bricked they show the manufactures name such as on a hard bricked htc device it sometimes shows qhsusb_dload (don't quote me on that if my spelling is wrong) and it connects under a Qualcomm USB device driver. That is because sometimes on devices the chipset is made by Qualcomm but on your device the chipset is made by Broadcom and that why it shows a Broadcom named device driver.

Yes, the bad news is that even JTAG could not repair my hard-bricked vodacrap II. My advice is to be really carefull when installing the custom android version, especially when using another sim than vodafone, some of the mods won't let you insert the network cod (eight of 1), mine didn't work with any version of the mods, sometimes I wasn't able to receive calls, sometimes to make calls, depending. Take it and keep it using vodafone or in any other case don't buy is not worthy.
i accidentally erased boot and bootloader.nor download mode nor recovery work and my pc recognize it like Broadcom USB wireless modem.Any solution?

[Q] RE: Loss of Internet (Wifi or Data)

Hey Folks,
So I've noticed on several ROMs I've tried as of late that I seem to be randomly losing internet connection. Basically, everything will be fine, phone goes to sleep. When I turn it back on the WiFi signal is full but grey as though it has no internet. Generally, if I turn it off and back on it works, sometimes I need to reboot my phone entirely if it doesn't come back up. I've searched through all the Power Management settings, and I think I have them all set to not manage wifi, or turn it off, or use it in low power mode, etc. But there has to be either something I am missing or a real issue with WiFi drivers or something. has anyone else seen this kind of behavior?
~RickoT
Almost 300 views and no responses? Is no one else experiencing this kind of behavior?
What ROM are your using? R u s-off and what kernel u had. without those it's hard to pin point and maybe that's y u have no reply.

I am having an issue with my mobile internet. Everything will be fine on wifi, but when I leave the wifi area I will have full bars and say I am connect to mobile internet, but I will get no connection error in every app. I have noticed sometimes that if I get an edge signal and try go back to H H+ it happen. It is sporadic and hard to pin point when it happens and what is causing it.
I am s off h boot 1.06 on pacman. Now this has only happened in the last few updates of pacman, and i have been talking to the developer, but it seems like i am the only one having the problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Note: Doing this delete everything on your phone, So backup
oh sorry i can't help cuz i;m not on PAC MAN. Maybe try to re-flash the ROM with a full wipe in twrp-->wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe system, & wipe factory reset. Maybe do it 3x. But as u know, this will erase all ur apps. If that still not working, it's better to run US T-Mob JB RUU. This will fix all your issue. Don't worry, u will still be S-off and BL unlock.
If u plan to run RUU, this is what i do and always success:
1. Make sure phone is on USB debugging
2. On cmd, type adb reboot-bootloader
3. Run RUU
4. When finish, do your normal phone setup, then go into Setting-->restore&backup-->Reset Phone and put check mark on Erase Everything
5 when done, do your normal phone setup and turn ON USB debugging
6. On cmd, type adb reboot-bootloader
7. on cmd type: fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img I use twrp v2.3.3.0
8. on cmd tyoe fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img again
9. Your done and flash any ROM u wish and see if the issue go aways.
Hey folks,
So I've noticed this on several roms, Currently I am using LiquidSmooth 2.3.1. But I have noticed it with the last 5 or 6 roms I've tried. I also tried restoring to the latest RUU, flashing the latest TWRP and going from there. I've even gone as far as getting the latest mutli-radio installer and trying several different radios, but in the end I experience the same kind of issue.
~Rick
i though it was just me that had this problem
Im on t mobile and since the firmware update I started having this problem no matter what Rom I tried sence and cm, my signal would disappear completly at times and the settings would show service is unavailable next to the radio at times when it was bad even in good coverage areas, any way this is what worked for me
1.- I changed the svn value on the bulid prop from 19 to 1, left the other ones alone (24,6,4)
2.- I made sure the build prop had the fallowing propperty "ro.ril.disable.power.collapse" and the value set to 0
3.-when I see service unavailable I swith airplane mode on and than off
4.-don't forget to thank me if I helped u even just a bit

thanks I think i will try this, but i am noobish and never dealt with a ruu, and don't really know what it is. Is it a file I need? if so where can i dl it?thanks again.
Well its good to see that other people are having this issue ( I thought for a while it was just an issue with my phone ), I wonder if there is something wrong with the base image that people are using to create these ROMS
If the problem happens between midnight and 7 a.m., it's normal. The connection (both 3g and wifi) gets cut after 20 minutes.

I have never had this happen before on any other phone. Is this something exclusive to the One S? Is there anywhere to disable this?
Also, it happens during the day as well, just not as frequently
?
I have never had that problem either in fact its past midnite and check out the screen capture
Search for htc smartsync and you'll find what I'm tallking about. The connection (3g and wifi) gets cut with the screen off for 20 minutes during night time (midnight - 7 a.m.). This can be disabled but it needs root.
If your problem is not related to night time, forget about this.
ok ill check it out
Now check outy latest screen capture
Actually I had already checked that screenshot but I couldn't get the meaning. lol The connection gets cut only with the screen off. As soon as you turn the screen on it reengages both 3g and wifi connection. You can see this happen because as soon as you turn the screen on (after 20 minutes off) there will be no 3g and wifi icon: after 1-2 seconds they'll pop up again.
Am I missing something with your speedtest? Of course it works, you are with the screen on! lol

Damn your right I can't prove the internet stays on with this, it does stay on do I now this because I have downloaded large files recently like TD10 and some others and the progress doesn't slowdown when the screen is off, how can I prove this?

Wait for midnight, enable push mail (if not already enabled), wait 20-25 minutes (with screen off) and send an email to yourself from the pc.
If you receive a call or if the screen turns on for any other reason during the 20-25 minutes, start all over again! lol

Please assist - Unusable Razr HD ( Spent 5-6 hours so far no luck )

Hi team,
Wondering is someone can assist or point me in right direction for fixing my wife's Razr HD. ( Australian Telstra GSM )
Issue - Currently phones starts goes to OS , however all andriod apps / core services are stopping making it unusable, usually phone will start ask for pin and within 30 seconds all apps and core services stop ( with error messages etc ).
So here is what happens and i have tried.
1. Tried uninstalling apps ( eg whatsapp / facebook etc .. ) it uninstalls sometime before the freezing / errors - but once you reboot those apps come back as there never uninstalled :|
2. Erase all data it never works it lets me press the button , but on reboot come back to original problem OS.
So i decided i should root / install custom rom or even stock rom ).
1. Boot Loader - Unlocked ( did that on motorola website no issues )
2. Tried Installing customer recovery in fastboot ( it flashes , however it goes to original recovery dead gread andriod with red traingle with belly open !, after flash i have not let it boot to OS still the same issue) - i think it has original-recovery.p file in system i cant delete it or rename it ..
3, Rooting - tried rooting no luck .. i can connect via ADB however system is read only ( doesnt let SU , busy box etc to copy or execute at all ) - tried motochoppper/ saferoot no luck .. it cant write or copy or exceute SU.
So i tried few other extreme measures as below..
fastboot erase system or -w
fastboot erase data
fastboot erase cache
All successful , however after that still boot to original OS.
Tried installing Stock ROM/Firmware using - RSDLite , it seems to install copied the files on reboot .. same old OS ..
i can goto fastboot , i can run adb shell command ( but its read only system ).
i am really stuck here wondering if you guys help / much appreciated.
rgds.

Factory reset yes , however after device reboot it does nothing comes back t same faulty OS.
Safe mode?
Safe mode.
You may try to flash rom again but be very careful with unlocked bootloader. It's strange that you cannot boot into custom recovery holding volume down and power after you flashed it.

Tried flashing , in safe mode no luck either , any other suggestions?
Cheers,
You probably left your USB plugged in after you flashed Recovery and that set you back to Stock Recovery.....unplug the usb....
Hmm sounds like symptons that my dad's old Nook color experienced being stuck in read only mode. Tried everything but it was stuck in that read only state no matter what I did. Hopefully that is not the case for your phone. Have you tried house of moto or other compatible utility to restore back to stock?
this happened a few times on an older faulty version of twrp. until someone can figure out how to remove the write only from fastboot, there is no utility or script that will fix it.
no one was able to figure it out before, unfortunately, your phone is likely toast.
Just saw this thread and it sounds exactly like what just started happening to my phone yesterday. I was unlocked, and rooted, with stock VZW (US) ROM. All was fine. Then started getting app error popups like you state and tried using TWRP recovery to install a backup I had made and it appears to work only if I DO NOT check the 'data' box. When I try and wipe data, it errors out as well. I am worried something caused it to get stuck in read only mode like one of the last comments in this thread and the phone is toast, but not just.
If you find anything or figure it out please let me know, I'll do the same....

Hi team,
Wondering is someone can assist or point me in right direction for fixing my wife's Razr HD. ( Australian Telstra GSM )
Issue - Currently phones starts goes to OS , however all andriod apps / core services are stopping making it unusable, usually phone will start ask for pin and within 30 seconds all apps and core services stop ( with error messages etc ).
So here is what happens and i have tried.
1. Tried uninstalling apps ( eg whatsapp / facebook etc .. ) it uninstalls sometime before the freezing / errors - but once you reboot those apps come back as there never uninstalled :|
2. Erase all data it never works it lets me press the button , but on reboot come back to original problem OS.
So i decided i should root / install custom rom or even stock rom ).
1. Boot Loader - Unlocked ( did that on motorola website no issues )
2. Tried Installing customer recovery in fastboot ( it flashes , however it goes to original recovery dead gread andriod with red traingle with belly open !, after flash i have not let it boot to OS still the same issue) - i think it has original-recovery.p file in system i cant delete it or rename it ..
3, Rooting - tried rooting no luck .. i can connect via ADB however system is read only ( doesnt let SU , busy box etc to copy or execute at all ) - tried motochoppper/ saferoot no luck .. it cant write or copy or exceute SU.
So i tried few other extreme measures as below..
fastboot erase system or -w
fastboot erase data
fastboot erase cache
All successful , however after that still boot to original OS.
Tried installing Stock ROM/Firmware using - RSDLite , it seems to install copied the files on reboot .. same old OS ..
i can goto fastboot , i can run adb shell command ( but its read only system ).
i am really stuck here wondering if you guys help / much appreciated.
rgds.

I am guessing this might be the issue and I am experiencing it as well. However, I have no idea how that could have happened in the first place. I never tried to do anything with TWRP until after the phone began acting funny with all apps crashing (pop ups stating that) and the phone essentially becoming unusable.
When I am in TWRP and do wipes (factory reset, or advanced wipes) it seems to wipe everything fine, even the data partition. However, when I try and write to that partition it fails (i.e. restoring a backup including the data partition). If I don't include the data partition the restore works, but the phone is still crap.
Does this sound like the issue you mention below (data is stuck on read only and there is no way around it)?? If so, anyone in the market for a decent looking paperweight??

Well it looks like I was able to get through some of it. I followed the instructions here: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/49699-1834614xt926-ota/. I did the extra step of going to stock 183 (unrooted) and then flashed the update in that and the phone is working fine. I am already unlocked (have been for long time), but not rooted at the moment. I believe I can root now (being that I am unlocked) but haven't tackled that yet. At the very least I have a phone that works for my upcoming business trip.....
BTW - the TWRP I had installed has been used on my phone for a long time (8-12 months??) so not sure why that version all of a sudden would have caused the issue, but at this point it doesn't appear to have been that issue (with data locked in read only mode).
I'm really glad that you found solution for you and for all of us who may have the same problem in the future. Thx.

Requesting assistance regarding flashing stock rom(and messing up)

Hello, so recently I tried to fix my bootlooped Moto G 3rd gen(dual-sim, India) and made a mistake that has somewhat fixed my phone but the wifi doesn't work, there might be some undiscovered errors still, the whole story..
-The phone became bootlooped like I said above
-So I decided to flash stock rom for it, and looked up several guides on how to do it.
-Downloaded the correct rom, and connected the phone in recovery mode as I could still hold down power button while phone loops(switch on to logo-pause-black screen repeat...)
-After setting correct path for fastboot, I got the [FAILED ] REMOTE ERROR while flashing partition - the "gpt.bin file"
-So I decided to skip that and went on with rest of the given commands including all 6(number 0 to number 5) sparsechunks
-I received signed error for sparsechunks
-I continued upto reboot
After this the phone booted fine but wouldn't get past selecting wifi network phase of start setup screen
Somehow a repair guy I gave phone to fix got up to that with login details of account, and now the phone is functional but I can't manage to turn on the wifi, if I hit on it automatically slides back to off instantly.
Notes: After fastboot and the start phase issue I tried mfastboot with same rom files and went over all commands many times, with same error
: After the phone became functional I tried flashing process again with mfastboot and usb debugging enabled but received REMOTE ERROR at partition again and stopped there.
That's all so far, any advice or suggestion you could give is highly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
Same problem.

I have same problem. I can't use WiFi or Internet on other custom/Stock ROM. Not problem on nandroid backup.
Make sure you have the correct firmware files downloaded

I was going to post how I fixed it but it slipped from my mind.
The flashing problem(Remote error) seems to be caused by the locked bootloader, which I only discovered after needing to root my phone following a guide to fix the wifi.
The thing is, a lot of people who have this problem seem to miss a file in the 'persist' folder of their root directory, see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2619553
However for me it didn't fix the issue, mostly since the file isn't available for 3rd gen moto G, but with unlocked bootloader (see: http://theunlockr.com/2015/09/09/how-to-root-the-motorola-moto-g-3rd-gen/) I could flash other parts just fine (except gpt.bin still giving the same error) and it pretty much fixed my issue.
