N5 Radio issue on certain ROM + Kernel combo - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys!
I love my Nexus 5, and I've always loved experimenting with different ROMs. I'm having a strange issue with the radio, with the following symptoms:
- The radio works just fine just after booting, but after turning the data off and back on, it just does not come back to life.
I've experienced this with:
- Stock L Developer Preview + Franco Kernel
- OptiPop + Code_Blue Kernel
Flashing the radio doesn't always solve the issue. Is anyone else having the same issue? Is it a ROM + Kernel compatibility issue?
Cheers,
Mathorlaz

[Resolved] [Q] HTC CM7 Radio

Hello everyone, I'm new to xda but not new to rooting and stuff
However I need help
I rooted my Wildfire a while ago..and then i installed some font...which messed my stock rom
receving no technical support over email or service centre, i manually flashed cm7
...
all goinig well but there is no 3g connection at all...the phone keeps on rebooting when i turn on 3g....and 2g is incredibly slow!!!!!!!!!!
I hvnt s off 'ed my wf but hv rooted it successfully..I'd like to know if s off is needed for radio flash...pl help me
How should I s-off my rooted wf??
Hello, i solved this issue.. I was on the radio 3.35.20.10 which is the newest. I flashed the latest rc1 cm7.2. Yes (3g and H) mobile network works flawlessly.. changing a few type of internet build prop values of cm7.2 will lead to rebooting when turning on mobile data
I won't be of any help but I have the same problem: I can't remember when I have noticed it the first time - my Wildfire keeps on rebooting if I switch to 3G.
Initially I thought that one of the different modes (2g/3g only, 2g or 3g etc.) would cause the problem but I have tried everything without any success.
If I find the time I'll probably try a newer nightly to see if this will help.
AFAIK I'm on the newest radio (flashed it a while back due to the well known radio problem).
Anyone with a helpful hint?

Hm, I'm not sure about your solution - could you be a bit more specific? I've already done a lot of things to get rid of the problem - including flashing newer versions of CM7 - currently I'm on the 20120420 nightly. Release date for the newest RC1 is 20120314 if I'm correct - so it looks that this didn't solve my problem.
Furthermore I flashed the radio again (inspired by this thread) - without any help regarding the bootloops. I'm really close to do an RUU update - but I usually rely on good old traditional computer wisdom: "never change a running system" XD
If someone with a bit more understanding of the changes in build.prop could give hints what (which values) exactly could be the reason for the problem this would be really helpful.

just some questions..

is anyone randomly losing and getting back their signal the next moment.... im wondering if this is cause of Virgin or the nexus 5
and i flashed the new1.2 deodexed kangabat and flashed franco kernel is it normal if my phone's power button stops responding,... because i had to reflash kangabat 1.2 without franco and now its working just wondering if its just me

[Q] To all who has signal disconnection issues

Has anyone tried installing a custom rom and kernel? If so, does the issue still persist? Just trying to see if this is an issue with stock rom or kernel, or just radio.
I have cataclysm and Franco r11 and today out of nowhere I lost phone signal all day, but when I switched off wifi, it's back. not sure if I have messed something up, I'm currently searching for posts with help.

[Q] [q] random reboots-major problem

I seemingly get random reboots on my Nexus 5, I'm running ElementalX kernel and AOSPA saberdroid beta 6 latest release as of now. I changed the kernel from Franco to elemental and it seemingly stopped the random reboots for a while, but it just started back up again. Everything works fine, I have the dalvik and bionic optimized libs from the Moto X flashed and that's about it.
I'll post a few logcats below.
It might not be related, but I can not seem to find any mobile network connection, even with a modem reflash, and a SIM change.
Should I RMA? Or is this solvable.
Can someone reply fast because I'm going crazy, my favorite phone is testing my limits.
the .txts are below
What country / network can't you connect to?
In regards to reboots, use KISS method (keep it simple, stupid*) .
Reflash rom...flash no kernel. Flash no mods, flash no optimisations. See if it still happens. If yes, try different rom and try same
*im not calling you stupid, its a saying

Is there a stable ROM right now that doesn't random reboot???

I clicked on the Kernel tab, and tried the franco.Kernel, and simply get stuck in bootloop, I look at the tags and it seems like most of the kernels only support the old KitKat..?
In addition, it seems the kernel scenes is a bit haywire now with AOSP/CAF...?
Could someone gimme one or two kernel suggestion that works with rooted OOB 5.0.1? I am just trying to quickly fix my sister's N5 here... she got nothing but nightmare after upgrading from 4.4.4 to 5.0, constant reboot, crash, battery drain... so i just now wiped the whole thing and flashed a fresh 5.0.1
Any help/suggestion on kernel would be appreciated. <3
Update:
Tried Elemental X, the phone reboots randomly now... And also just googled problem with Nexus 5... it seems like 5.0 and 5.0.1 have TONS of random reboot issues...? Goddamn it Google...
Do any of you have a stable ROM (stock or custom) that doesn't have random reboot issues?

i use franco kernel 70 with stock rooted 5.0.1 with no issues. but i don't see any differences between stock and franco. neither performance nor battery life.
This Nexus 5 is just getting worst... it random reboots now.

Sorry to hear that. Could it possibly be a hardware issue since you say it's happening to you across all software? Corrupted storage media could cause random reboots such as that.
I'm not seeing any myself, though I do reboot the phone about once a week just as a precautionary measure with L's RAM management.
Was having this issue with Stock and Custom ROMS ended up going back to KITKAT and no problems. Hopefully they will have this fixed with 5.1 that will be released soon.
Stock one is allways the best choise. You must be aware, that the stock one is build by a lot of good developers and custom ones are made by individual enthusiasts. There is nothing wrong with that, but the pure logic here speaks by itself.
Used a lot of different roms
ordered my nexus on release day, used quite a few different roms and i've never had a random reboot.
