No cellular connectivity whatsoever - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I've been flashing back and forth and restoring nandroids the entire day trying to troubleshoot and get xposed to work for 5.1. As of now, I've lost all cellular connectivity as in no cell service at all. Thought it may be my sim but I tried it out on my old Xperia Z1s and it works fine, sent text and tried downloading something from play store. Both worked fine so it's not the sim card (Tmo). I've been flashing and restoring both CM12 (last one available through the updater) and CM12.1 (4/18 nightly and just now 4/19 to try). Wifi works fine but there's no cellular signal/service. It's not acting as if there's no sim, it's acting as if there's no service at all, not even emergency cell signal. My guess is my modem is fried so I tried to flash the latest modem from XNPH44S but that didn't work either. I've searched the forums and googled but no one seems to have my exact issue. Most were either of stuck airplane mode or issues with APN settings. I'd be more relaxed if those were my issues as I'm really hoping I didn't fry my modem (hardware) flashing back and forth all day. Any suggestions?

Try restoring via fastboot for a clean slate. I understand from your post that you're flashing via custom recovery.

CM12.1 may flash the new radio that OxygenOS flashes, from which there is not necessarily an immediate return.
Possible you have that new radio. See here:

Can you still see your baseband and IMEI? Go into Settings/About Phone for the baseband version and Settings/About Phone/Status for the IMEI.
Transmitted via Bacon

Baseband is unknown and there's no mention of IMEI anymore... does that mean I lost my IMEI/it got corrupted? Am I screwed? I planned on trying the fastboot restore but only as one of the last resorts. If CM12.1 use the same radio then my 12.1 should work but that doesn't either. Nothing works. I've tried CM11s, CM12, CM12S, CM12.1... sigh...
I think I had a modem/efs backup in one of my nandroids and I tried restoring that too with no luck
Restored one of my CM12 nandroids and now I have a baseband of "DI.3.0.c6-00230-M8974AAAAANAZM-1". For some reason or another, that doesn't look right to me even though I've never really paid attention to what the baseband ever listed. Still can't seem to locate my IMEI #. I did the #*#*4636*#*# and the cell radio is on and turning it off and one still only shows emergency calls only. Obviously I'm not going to try to call 911 just to test if the radio gets service. However, I can see my IMEI # so I guess that's good. I must have some bad firmware update. Guess I'll copy out all my stuff to my otg usb and fastboot restore and see if that helps unless there's something else I can try.... please let me know...

You've got a corrupt EFS partition. There's a thread detailing how to fix your situation in our general section.
Transmitted via Bacon

tried to flash the persist.img from http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/fix-brickloop-audio-fx-fc-efs-corrupt-t2879061 but that just prevents my phone from booting up properly. I only see the OnePlus logo with not Powered by Android on the bottom...
I take it back, it does show the powered by android but only for a split second then it stays on the OnePlus logo and doesn't do anything... :T
Restored back most recent cm12.1 nandroid and now I do see IMEI number in the about settings but still only emergency calls only... Guess its a good start, no sure what else I can do at this point.

Now you see your imei but you dont have the signal,it means your modem file does not work.So the first thing to do is backing up the efs then you can flash 44s modem and proximity patch.Probably it will work.It worked for me.

Ok there may be hope then. Just flashed the 44s modem then nandroided back to my CM11s then flashed modem again just in case lol. Don't recall seeing a proximity fix but it's ok as long as my cellular connectivity works, I'll deal w/ other issues later. Otherwise all I have is an expensive media player... lol it's booting up now so we'll see... *fingers crossed*
Nope didnt work...going to try a fresh CM12 install...
Trying to flash roms and in the wizards it always states I don't have a sim installed so I'm not sure it's my modem that's messed up or if it's something else related to hardware related to the sim. The sim itself works in my other phone... tried a different sim and it's still emergency calls only. don't know what to do now. doing all this and it's still not working so I doubt even the fastboot restore would work... might just have to rma... which would probably take 4eva...

Pls flash your nandroid backup which gave you the imei first,after gain your imei ,back up it,then you can flash what rom you like,if you dont have your imei,just flash your imei backup.The most important thing is to back up your efs.

Think my efs is fine as I can see the IMEI now but no matter what nandroid and fresh install I try, I can't get the cellular connectivity to work. I backed up all partitions just in case.

Being able to see your IMEI doesn't necessarily mean your EFS is ok.
Transmitted via Bacon

Well tried the persist.img but that didn't work so what else can I do?

The one thing that would definitely fix your issues would be if you had an EFS backup. I don't know why people don't do this. Without that I have no idea what you can do.
Transmitted via Bacon

Never had that issue before and I've own android phones from the HTC Hero. Lesson learned though, thankfully it's still under warranty and it's not that expensive a phone...

Not all Android phones employ an EFS partition. I'd never heard of it before this phone but a bit of research on my part revealed the importance of an EFS backup.
Transmitted via Bacon

That would make sense then. As I was reading about EFS, seems like it was mostly Samsung phones. I guess I can try a fastboot restore... nothing else to lose. lol
Doh! apparently there is something to lose when fastboot restoring... phone stopped booting back up correctly after a few fastboot restores and now it won't even turn back on... lovely... at least I had a expensive android media player before, now I have a brick... lol

Edited - Sorry

I have the same issue with all verisons of CM12. I get No service. Although the XNPH44S radio was the best. Meaning I could atleast see 3-4 bars for about 1 second and then off for a couple of minutes and then back on again for 1 second and so on. I believe it is a problem with not having a proper radio. One plus should release a better working radio in my opinion. I am on PTEL Mobile network (uses T-Mobile). So until we get a good working version of the radio I think some people like us are stuck on cm11.

[Q] Verizon Galaxy s3 roaming only, not activating

So I'm totally at a loss of where to go or what to even search for.
I have a verizon Galaxy s3 that I rooted and unlocked the bootloader on. I flashed a couple ROMs and now it won't connect to the network. It tells me it is in roaming mode only. I called verizon, but they said to just return the phone because it won't talk to their network.
I've read some things about "triangle away" and I kind of tried that. But it kept telling me that my flash count was 0 anyway. So it didn't do anything.
My IMEI and ICCID are correct to my sim card and phone. I originally flashed CM10 for the verizon s3 and it worked great for a few weeks. Then I tried a couple others and they worked also. Then I flashed the euroskank ROM, and that's when it no longer would connect. I went back to a previous nandroid, and still no connecting.
I don't know what the problem is, or what to search for, or where to go.
Should I try to install a stock rom. I know I keep seeing things about odin and installing the stock rom. Should I do that? That's something I haven't tried yet.
So, I tried reprovisioning the phone with *2767*3855#
And when I did that, it said sorry, your phone is not yet activated.
But I know it is, or, at least was activated. And when I call verizon they tell me it has been activated already. I don't know what to do. I'm thinking of trying to go back to stock
Same Problem
Flashed CM10.1 nightly just to test it out and then boom, no more connection. On any ROM. Scariest part? I have gone through the restore process and am now back to an unrooted phone with out of the box firmware. I believe I will take it back to Verizon now and see if they will give me a new one.

So I don't know if we have the same issue or not. But I got mine working for now. Don't know if I'll run into problems later, but this is how I got it working right now.
First, I installed back to stock settings and radio. I followed the instructions in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
I did the stuff in section 5. Including Flashing a Stock Radio. So I went back to the VRALG1 4.0.4 ROM.
And I did the I535VRLHE radio.
But it still didn't work. BUT, once in stock settings, I did the reprovisioning.
*2767*3855#
And then that finally worked, it went through, and my phone activated. So it works now. Hooray!
But I REALLY really want to know what happened. So I can avoid this happening again in the future. Can anyone tell me what happened, and why this fixed it? And how to prevent it happening again as a flash more ROMs in the future?
Also, SpecePatriot, let me know if that works for you. It'd be good to have more than one source to know that works.

Well that's good to know that you got it back working again. Sounds like it might be just be the ROM and not anything weird that we did to cause the loss of connectivity.
Thanks nertskull
Thanks nertskull, I had this problem after trying to downgrade from CM10.1 to CM10 and was stuck. I tried so many different methods and nothing worked until this one, thanks so much!

I had the an issue with my phone stuck roaming and this method worked great! Only problem I came across was trying to run Samsungs update for Jelly Bean, Every time I attempted to update my phone would crash and go back to ICS. Luckily I had a back up so I wiped my phone, restored from my previous backup (which had Jelly Bean) and worked without roaming issues!
My input is if your having roaming issues is to use a backup you made before you had the roaming issue. Follow this tutorial above to get your phone back to stock, root your phone, then restore from your backup through CWM or whatever you are using.
I am not too sure what causes the roaming issue but I did notice while looking for networks, my phone found ATT ad TMobile haha.I am assuming what happened was that the Cyanogenmod update I was downloading automatically was set for another carry which changed my wireless settings. I will be downloading nightly's manually for now on lol
Thanks for this fix, Saved me a lot of time and aggression

My S3 is having the same issue after a CM10 modification. Reflashing to a stock ROM fails, wiping and reflashing fails, trying a different rom on cwm fails, no backups to flash to (all result in error). So I stumbled upon this thread, read about reprovisioning, and I took it to mean input the numeric code into the phone dialer. I did that, and nothing happened. Can anyone provide insight on reprovision and how to do it? Google search on reprovision isn't giving me any hints.
If the reprovision is just failing and I've been doing it right, does anyone have any other suggestions? Really hoping my phone isn't soft-bricked with no ability to call/text.

Hey guys, when you provision does it wipe the entire phone, including the SD card? (internal SD card and external SD card)
stuck...
I tried all the above, stock, radios, kernels, codes, ##RTN#, none of it works, my radio works cause i tried 911 and it jumped on roaming and began to make call at which point of course i hung up before letting it connect any words of wisdom... at this point just a tablet for wifi

I have a galaxy note 2 on Verizon. This used to happen to me on CM 10.1 first stages but issue got fixed as the nightlies started. It only happened to me when I sometimes rebooted the phone or when the battery completely drained from 100-0% then when I would charge it and boot the phone it would show me an x and no signal bars. I would have to restore to a TW rom to get it to activate again but going into settings and switching to CDMA/LTE mode. Now I'm on ParanoidAndroid 2.99beta ROM and it still gives me that issue. Hopefully soon it will be fixed.:fingers-crossed:

Thank you buddy,
This helped me get my phone back in working order -- For those of you wondering why the "*2767*3855# is not working is because you are using the wrong flash. You must use "Official VRALG1 4.0.4" - and currently the link is down on the thread - I just googled it and found it elsewhere. I tried one of the other OTA's and it would not work. Also, do exactly as netskull described - even regarding the antenna. When using VRALG1 4.04 - The second i entered the last "hashtag (#)" it popped up another screen which helped get my phone working. I did not have to press send or anything. Kind of sucks that I lost all data on my internal card, but I DID back it up and now I will have to go through and restore. Since some people were wondering -- It did not mess with anything on the external card... It did unroot my device, however, so I will have to do that again as well.
For some reason, flashing the latest MIUI messed up my phone and put it in roaming all the time. Oh well, happy i got it working, and subscribed . Thanks once again Nertskull.

[Q] At a loss, data but no voice/sms

I was running the latest stable version of CM10.1 on my GS3 and all was going well until someone sent me a text message and I tried to respond. I was greeted with the error of message not sent. I attempted to text someone else to have the same error. Attempting to call someone will just hang and eventually say call failed.
I thought it was a radio issue so attempted to flash different modems but had the same result. So I restored my previous rom Beans 11 that was working after wiping and the same issue. Data works perfect, but voice and text does not. I searched and odin'd back to stock VRLG1 and entered *2767*3855# in hopes of that fixing the problem, again no voice/text.
Any suggestions further help? I don't know what else to try!
*CM10.1 was working fine, and then calls/texting stopped but data continued to work without trouble.
*IMEI seems to be intact
*Flashed backup of known working rom and issue still persists
*Flashed back to VRLG1 and attempted *2767*3855# as per another post to no avail and this is where I sit.
Same thing. Installed jellybeans 12 now I can't call or text. Prior text was hit and miss some days....restored stock rooted image flashed other Roms....no help. Dialed the ** number....so screwed. Ayneegry should have backed up my few several times. No idea what to do.

When you say "Data" do you mean wifi or 3g/4g? If you have no phone/text/3g/4g then it's probably your imei. Check under phone settings, see if it's gone. If it's gone you gotta restore, do a search.
If you have 3g/4g then I don't know what the problem is. Sorry, just trying to help
Odin back to ICS and reprovision your phone by going into the dialer and typing *2767*3855#
rgrossie - data as in 3G/4G works no problem... phone showed IMEI still there but followed a thread to restore it anyway to make sure that wasn't the issue...
Edgehood -- I've tried that, and that's where I currently sit, stock ICS with 4G data but doing the re-provision doesn't seem to fix anything -- occasionally a text will slip through, but I'm unable to reply

I hear ya, if I can't figure out what's up, I'll end up having to go back to verizon and see what I can do... It was out of the blue, everything was working and then suddenly it just stopped. Happened on a flash that was a little over a day old, so who knows.
Check Mobile network
I have thiss problem happen occasionally when I flash custom roms. Look under your mobile networks, see if either CDMA/SIM is checked or NV. If NV is checked switch to CDMA/SIM and then reboot. That seems to fix that problem most of the time.
Edit: After some tests found out this doesn't always stick, but I did find out that after switching from NV to CDMA/SIM turn on airplane mode so the radios are tunred off, wait a few moments, then turn airplane mode off. That worked more consistently than restarting it.

Did you ever fix this? I currently have the same problem and have no idea what to do.

I had the same issue two days ago when I flashed to the latest MIUI Rom. Here's how I fixed it.
Go into settings, mobile networks, make sure subscription is set to SIM. After that open the phone, type *#*#4636#*#* make sure it's set to LTE/CDMA/AUTO
Reboot phone and all should be well.

If you Odin back to the original stock unroofed ROM, you'd have to take all the ota Verizon updates to vmf1. Then reset your phone.
Pain in the a$$ but has always worked for me. I had same problem running carbon.
I read in another post that Odin back to root66, them reset your phone would work too.

Hello!
I was running CM11 7/17 build and randomly my phone lost all phone service. Or so it seemed. So it seemed. I was able to call *228 to try to update roaming service. Well, it worked, except now, my phone stays in 3G and still doesn't seem to be full strength. Does anyone know what I need to do.
Also, I've updated to 7/27 CM11 and that didn't change anything service wise.
Thank you!

im pretty sure you dont want to use 228 on a smart phone, its not like a dumb phone that needs updates like that.
i would put stock on and see if you still have the issue.
if that doesnt fix it, or you dont want to do that, i would get a new sim card and see if that helps. you may have burned the 4g out of the sim.

Stock works fine. And I had this problem before when I used a locked boot loader ROM. But when I upgraded to KitKat and unlocked the boot loader and tinstalled CM11 everything was fine.
Is there a way to reset my phones cell/data service back? Instead of Verizon Wireless it just says T-CDMA 64 now as well.

i dont know exactly, i can only say what i would try if i were in your situation.
first i would re-flash the rom, just wipe cache's and system.
if no fix, i would try re-flashing only the modem's. edit the stock xml file and dump every line except the modem's and modem wiping lines then flash with rsd.
if no fix, i would have to say, a full wipe and re-install of the rom is in order.
if that dont fix it, i dont know what else to try.
i would do a backup before you try any of that, although its mostly useless, as you would just be backing up the broken setup. would just help to recover any data if you need to.

Okay. That was what I was fearing. But I'll give it a try when I get home! Thanks!!
I had the same problem, and I ended up getting a new SIM card. That fixed the problem, but I don't know if that was the only way to fix it...

No cell signal, wifi works

My Nexus 5 suddenly has no signal today, but WIFI is working (my nexus tab has a cell signal so its not a network issue.)
was using CM12.1 (5.02) tried the following:
reboot (many times)
did a factory reset/wipe
flashed a new CM rom (Euphoria 1.1)
hit *#*#4636#*#* and checked the radio is on
popped the back and cleaned the antenna contacts
None of the above worked, now I'm wondering what to do next...?
Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.

Do you have an IMEI (Settings>About phone>Status)?
IMEI is present
Airplane mode is off :silly:
Sim card is fine, I tested it in my old i9300
I guess I will go factory image later today and see about that.
Thx so far.
Well it appears the fone is dead...
I restored a factory image (4.4.0)
Still no cell signal.
Going through the updates 4.4.2 > 4.4.3 etc, but I doubt its going to make a difference.
Bought in 2013... I hope (but doubt) I can get it fixed under warranty

It's not enough to restore factory image. Try to flash completely stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
Sorry for my wording, I went completely back to stock and unfortunately it did not fix the issue.
It is still covered under warranty and with the stock restore its is now ready to be sent back.
Back to the old i9300 for now!

After you flash back to stock, what steps are you taking when setting up the phone again - are you restoring app backups and stuff? I had this same problem, when I restored as new and did not use the google backups, my radio/mobile network returned.
I dint bother setting up my accounts or restoring backups as I expected it not to work.
I did not want to bring unforeseen things into the mix.
Restored 4.4, made sure it was unrooted and the tamper counter was reset. locked the bootloader.
Then skipped the google account part, only added wifi password. Then went through the system updates.

Mine did the same thing (worked for phone/texts but not mobile data), and in my searching there seems to be a related fix having to do with APN settings, but those are only accessible in settings, under mobile network, if you have a specific carrier.
Try searching around here for "APN XML" or "APN update" and you'll find steps on how to check/fix. Hope that helps.

No mobile data after flash. Nothing will bring it back

>> Partial solution was found; still looking for the root of the problem. <<
I recently decided to take the plunge and root my OnePlus One and install sultanXDA's CM 13 ROM on it. It was all going well until I booted up into the ROM and discovered that I couldn't get any mobile data. Everything else was working, calling, texting, wifi, but mobile data seemed to refuse to work. Since I initially flashed sultan's ROM with TWRP 3.0.0, I suspected it was a problem with my modem. Though unable to install TWRP 2.8.6.0 to re-flash everything, I did still flash a new modem via ADB. This didn't help.
I have tried many things to fix this. I rebooted/reflashed. I flashed different ROMs. I tried flashing on TWRP 2.8.6.1, though I believe that one has the same modem problem as the versions after it. As mentioned above I tried flashing a modem over ADB. I took out and re inserted my SIM card. In the end, I tried this guide here to restore my phone to it's original state. The guide flashes the stock versions of everything via ADB. Though it did return me to unrooted COS 12.1, it was not able to resolve my data problem.
After the total reset, all I can think that could be causing it is a hardware problem or that it is caused by something not reset in the 100% restore above.
If any of y'all can help my solve this, or at least offer insight, I would be very grateful.
Preemptive Edit I Guess: This thread was just suggested to me while writing this. I'm going to try the solution here and report back. It's OnePlus' reset to stock method. I'm not expecting much after my first 100% reset attempt, but we'll see.
EDIT: Ok, so the solution above fixed my problem... (edit again: turned out to only be a partial solution. See below.)
I would feel really dumb right now if it weren't for the fact that I slaved over this problem for a good ~8 hours before writing this post. Anyways, I'm not sure how to delete this post or mark it as solved. Sorry for the trouble y'all.
Never delete this post !!
I have the same problem, and I spent much more time to find a solution.
I will try this and will update.
Is it a clean stock rom?
Edit:
Didn't help for me ..
Still the same problem, No mobile internet connection.
Thx anyway.
Yeah, actually I was too hasty is identifying this as the solution. For me, the stock reset brought me back to CM 11 which didn't have a problem with mobile data. But if I try to flash a later ROM or update via OTA, the problem returns. I'm still trying to figure out what is causing it. The only information I can find points to it being a modem problem or APN problem, but I'm sure I have sufficiently checked both of those already.
Either way, I'll keep looking. If I find something I'll return here with it. Good luck

I gave this a try, but booting up after step 3 I still had the same problem. If I understand this method correctly, I think it is essentially the same as the other full restore methods I tried.
I think I may have found the problem though. I was looking at OnePlus' guide to installing OxygenOS. In it they said, "do not try to flash this build through TWRP. You will most likely lose your radio and IMEI which means a trip to our customer support." At this point I have repeatedly reset/restored my modem/radio so I don't think that is the problem, but I haven't seen anything about IMEI before. The IMEI is apparently stored in the EFS partition which as far as I can tell, is not touched by any of the restore methods I have tried. I took a look at my IMEI (about phone -> status) and it turns out my IMEI SV is 00. It's supposed to be a 16 digit number. I found a guide to fixing it, but I think I will just contact OnePlus customer support first.
I'll be back later with my results.

Are you flashing each of the extracted .img files from fastboot, exactly like the guide shows, or are you doing something else?

Yep, I ran each command listed in the guide and my phone was definitely in fastboot. Each command had a collections of "OKAY"s and ended with a "finished", which I assume means it executed as expected.
I have tried 2 different sim cards in my OPO (of two different companies, one of them as mine), and mobile data worked perfectly. Is it possible that my phone is ok and the problem happened in the sim card?
AND... my IMEI SV is 00 too. please update here if it has a connection.
Thank you !

I'm not entirely sure what you're saying. Did it not work with the first SIM card, but it worked with the second?
Mobile data problem was occured (to me), after I rooted my OPO and tried to flash a new rom.
I still can't understand how it convinced my sim card, but the fact is that I tried two (to be sure) other sim cards which are not mine, and mobile data worked well.
When I returned my original sim card, problem started again.
So I am almost sure that sim card has a connection, but can't understand why. And why it happend precisely now, cause it worked well over two years.

Why don't you flash twrp flashable modem?
If your network is present but no data , mostly data service problem. Are you pay your mobile bills ?
Are you activate data services ?

...yes i paid my bills ..
- my network connection to provider is dead...it worked perfecly for 1 month out of the box (see original posting for detailed action i took) this thread is about lack of data connection...but also MODEM related???
- tried the brand new simcard in my old Samsung sII... works perfetly, network connection with provider, data connection and calling..so no simcard problem
Long shot. Change any APN settings from IPv6 to IPv4. That was my problem when I had text/voice but no data.
I made a post on this and then called att gophone, due to seeing other sims working on this thread, and he helped me to fix. Posting my fix here in case others with isue find this post instead of mine.
Turned off wifi.
Turned off cellular data.
Went to APN and changed the apn (ATT Go Phone) from pta to nxtgenphone.
Turned on cellular data.
Finally had H+ above he signal bar, but had an X inside the bar.
Don't know if he did anything on his end, but the X went away after a couple of minutes.
Data was working, albeit kinda slow.
Turned off phone for three minutes per ATT rep.
Rebooted.
Data still slow, but it is at least working. Thinking I need to flash different modem. Battery usage has been higher the last day or two since I flashed c7 anyways.
