Hey people, been a while since I've been in this neck if the woods.
I decided to pull out my 'ol Nexus 5 and start using it again. That being said, I've run into somewhat of a problem.
I've been using the phone since Monday, and I was on the newest build of Mahdi Rom (4.4.4). Then yesterday, I gave into Lollipop and decided to flash the Ultrasmooth 5.0.1 Rom (uncluding flash of radio and bootloader.) It was all working perfect until I left work today. All of a sudden, cell service just cut out.
Since then, I've went to factory stock unrooted and it still hasn't fixed the problem. The SIM works just fine in my Note 4 but when I put it in my Nexus (which is now running 5.0 fully stocked), it does not pickup any signal whatsoever.
Can anyone help me please? Really want to fix this...
Do you have your EFS backed up? Press *#06# on dialer and what is it showing?

Well seeing as I have no idea what EFS is, no.
And it shows my MEID.
Check APN settings..

Tried that, tried the ones on there and even made one, still nothing.
Try manually choosing carrier, nothing also.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated..

Hey guys, I've been having a great time flahsing the S3. I've fallen in love with CM10 that was flashed using droidstyle's guide. Everything worked flawlessly for three days but since last night I now have no data at all. No 3G or 4G. I'm going to install the latest modem. The "Phone Info" app is not helping either. Any other ideas? It's just bizarre to me that it would randomly stop working. Nothing had changed.
Thanks
Applied Latest OTA Modem
So I applied the latest modem. I'm still having the same issue. I've read that I may have to get a new SIM Card but I'm not sure. Any help at all is much appreciated.
Thank you!

Does it work if you do a factory reset or flash a touchwiz rom?
did you back up you imei as suggested in my guide? when you go into settings/about device/status, do youe see your imei and meid numbers?

Hey guys, I'm not exactly sure what solved my problem but I currently have data. After applying the latest Modem update I switched to "CDMA only" through Phone Info. After a couple of hours I changed to LTE/GSM/CDMA and it's currently working as it had been. Thanks for all of your responses.
Hey guys,
No matter what I do I can't get my service to work again. All it shows at the top is a little circle with a slash through the middle. I tried installing a custom rom but ran into some problems. So I "restored" my backup through rom manager. But i don't have service anymore. Since this happend I have tried several new roms and I still can't get the service to come back.
Some people say it has something to do with the IMEI but according to my setup I still have one.
I have been working on this problem for nearly 13 hrs none stop! Please help... I have searched everywhere.
Thanks

If your IMEI and all that information is correct then you may have a bad sim card resulting in no service at all. Otherwise i'd recommend using odin to go back to completely 100% stock and see if that fixes it.

Thank you so much for responding. I have tried to restore stock with odin but every time odin finishes my phone still boots up my existing rom. Any quick ideas with that one?
And do you really think my sim could have just gone bad like that? It's free to get a new one so maybe I will try that as a last resort.
I don't know much about rooting but could it be my radio?
A couple of questions?
Is boot loader unlocked, if so how did you unlock, updated ver 1.4 ez-unlock can mess up and relock boot loader. Use ver 1.2 . "Verizon only"
What ROM and kernel? Make sure its for your carrier.
Any radio should be OK as long as its for you phone and carrier.

did you try reprovisioning your device with dialer code *2767*3855?
note that this does wipe internal sd so back ur **** up!
I tired the above number in dialer but always comes up with error saying "mobile network not available".
Am I doing something wrong?
Oh.... You forgot to ad a # on the end of that number. After this everything started working again!!! Thank you so much!

What fixes the problem. This happened to me after flashing the latest MIUI ROM on my Verizon S3.
I tried re provisioning my phone with the number sequence below but it did not work. I also used the phone info app but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.
So I started today feeling a little creative so I flashed the newest MIUI ROM, there was a data issue that I tried to work out and in the end screwed everything up.
I lost signal but I have data.
I have tried probably 10 ROMs and the same has happened, I am getting a roaming sign, but it shows I have bars (I am connected to a wireless repeater so full service all the time on 3g).
What in the world do I do? I've seriously tried everything. I flashed back to stock through ODIN and nothing still.
PLEASE tell me someone has seen heard this problem... WHAT DO I DO?
Thanks in advance...
Go to settings - about phone - status and tell us if your IMEI is a bunch of zeros or a string of numbers.

It's not I its still the right one, that was something I checked... I considered doing a IMEI restore anyway and maybe that would fix the problem but I still definitely have it there. Thanks

Read the thread and go into Mobile settings and fix the settings. After that you'll be good to go.

How I Fixed It
Hey there. Not sure if your still having this problem, but I ran into the same issue with my new phone after rooting, unlocking bootloader, and flashing MIUI. To fix it, I had to odin to stock (Pre-Jellybean for the Samsung Utility), which I got from here: http://hotfile.com/dl/169363562/8975152/SCH-I535_VZW_I535VRALG1_I535VZWALG1.zip.html%20
Then I ran the Samsung Repair Utility from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867442&page=18
The Samsung Repair Utility said my ERI was present and my IMEI was accurate per the back of my phone. Desperate, I ran the "Repair ERI" anyway which made no difference until I followed the OP's directions to dial the code to run the factory reset if the tool didn't work. That seemed to do the trick :victory:
Good Luck.
So...I went ahead and flashed the Dec 24th official 10.1 release with data working. I flashed with TWRP and it went smoothly. I couldn't activate the phone because it was stuck in roaming. I tried what ever I could do but could not get out of it. So I resorted back to full stock from verizon locking and un-rooting. Did that and I also flashed a stock radio. Still cannot get out of roaming mode.
Any suggestions? Kind of in desperate need of data to get a working phone!
Thanks in advance. I'm sure this problem has come up among many of you.

Yes. It's come up many, many times.
Flash the latest cm 10.1 and fix the mobile settings.

I thought flashing "[OFFICIAL]CM10.1 Official Nightlies for D2VZW GSIII (12/24 Official Data Works)" was the latest one. How would I go about "fixing" the mobile settings? via the settings menu? I cannot access that menu if I need to go there. I need to get past the activation screen. Also I am not so sure on performing the four corners trick in order to get past that screen.
thanks

Gotcha. Did it and it seems to be fine now. Many thanks! Now I am hesitating going back to 10.1. I think i'll just stick to CM10 for now. until such time everything gets fixed.

i just posted a fix topic for this but here this is how i got mine to work after flashing CM10.1 the 12/24
If you remove ur sim card and boot up and connect via wifi, u can then register and set up the phone. then shut down put sim card back in and boot up. go to system settings -> More... under wireless and networks -> mobile networks -> CDMA subscription and choose RUIM/SIM (NOT NV)

I didnt see a responce from here but ill do my best, flash back to the stock ROM using ODIN and you should be put back into the operating system still in roaming mode then you dial *2767*3855# as soon as you hit the # your phone will download a file and re-provision itself which will fix the roaming error.
Hey guys... I recently encountered a problem with my nexus 5. Suddenly my phone lost signal and it won't receive any more signal.I was on the latest version of PA on 4.4.2 ...... Now I factory reset my phone and it's stuck on phone setup... What do I do?? I'll try flashing back to stock later and I'll see if it's fixed... Also, before factory resetting my phone, I checked my IMEI and it isnt gone.... It was still there.. Strange... Any suggestions on what I should do? Also, I don't have a nandroid backup....

Guys... Returning to stock didn't do anything... Still the same problem... Now I'm stuck in setting up the phone since it shows that my sim is inserted and it's trying to activate the sim... But it stays there forever ... I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the sim holder... When I tried removing the SIM card for the phone, it failed to eject my SIM card... Now I have to find a way to get my sim out... When I use the pin, it only opens 1/8.. It's too small to fit anything in it... What do I do?? Running out of ideas...
I could give my phone for repair but I live in Dubai and I don't think there are any service centers here...
