[RESOLVED] OPO crashed, got hardbricked and now is having issues getting cell signal - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It seems I have managed to solve it by myself. I have loaded factory image of 44S, preformed OTA upgrades and it seems the issue is gone.
The thread can be closed.
Hi, Last week I had my phone connected to power bank over night with "Sleep as Android" turned on. In the morning I got my wake up alert but I was unable to wake up my screen to turn it off... so I had to keep the power button down and shutdown the phone.
After that I have faced boot loop (phone worked fine previous evening).
I have tried rebooting phone couple of times but nothing worked so I have restored backup of last CM11s from TWRP (I was running on CM12 nightly during the crash). Phone booted up poperly and I thought everything is fine however after couple of hours I noticed my phone is asking me for my PIN so it has apparently rebooted. It appeared that it is rebooting every couple of hours and after every call (like 5 sec after call ended)...
I have tried restoring other backup but I was facing the same issue. I have done clean install of current CM12 nightly and got the same...
Facing that I decided to clean my phone completely... I have backed up all my data and did wipe and format of everything of everything I could from TWRP. Then via fastboot I have been tring loading YNG1TAS17L 64GB (from here) by flash-all.bat file. After loading bootloader I have received message <waiting for device> and my phone got hardbricked...
I managed to recover it using this guide.
Then I loaded TWRP again and installed COS 12.
On that point my phone started working stable but after a while I noticed that is started losing cell signal. Sometimes it was just for couple of seconds and sometimes it lost it for good (while tring to hardcode cell operator I was getting "error while searching for networks" and I was able to restore connectivity after couple of reboots).
I decided it could be radio/modem related so I have applied full firmware. No go. Loaded CM12 nightly - the same, loaded that modem from oxygen again - no go.
I have tried installing latest BlissPop, Mahdi ROMs and Oxygen and still facing the same issue.
Tested SIM card on other phone and it works fine, tested other SIM card on my OPO and still the same issue so it is phone related.
Getting the following in logcat during time phone is unable to connect to cell signal:
Code:
05-31 11:57:36.265 D/GsmDCT ( 2457): [0]isDataAllowed: not allowed due to - SIM not loaded and not NV subscription
05-31 11:57:36.265 D/GsmDCT ( 2457): [ApnContext:mms] getApnSetting: apnSetting=null
05-31 11:57:36.268 D/GsmDCT ( 2457): [0]isDataAllowed getRecordsLoaded=false
Anyone has any idea what could be a reason of this issue and how to fix it? At this moment everything is working fine except phone calls and Internet over network operator (Wifi works fine). Thanks in advance.

UP
Anyone has any idea? I believe I have narrowed the problem down a bit. It seems 2G/3G is affected only. As long as I'm in LTE range the connection is stable (that explains why I noticed the problem after few hours when I left home).
I have played a bit with hardcoding band and noticed that LTE is running stable (with GSM Signal Monitoring app). When switching to 3G it is dropping every couple of seconds. The strange thing is that 2G is sometimes affected and sometimes not... When switching LTE->2G it seems to be running pretty stable but when switching from 3G->2G it is acting the same way as 3G.

were you able to fix it?
I went through same experience except that I can barely connect to 4g, 3g 50% of time. Tried many radios but none worked.

OP updated the post with how it was fixed. Sorry to bump the thread, but thought I'd inform spx that there was an update. Glad it worked out for you OP, I've saved this in case it ever happens to me, and good luck to spx. Hopefully someone puts this info in a sticky so others can try that if they are stuck too.

I fixed it by reflash raido of xnph52q found here. The zip contains more than the radio firmware.

I flashed it before but it didn't work. The only difference is I used TWRP 2.8.6. I remember reading somewhere online that 2.8.7 has issue with OPO

Where is the 44S that OP used? I have something similar happening with my phone. I revived my phone from a hard brick and now it's not connecting to the cell network. Wifi works, IMEI shows when SIM is inserted, no EFS partition backup (I didn't know that was a thing to do until it was too late).
FWIW, my current build is KTU84Q and I'm running CM-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-bacon

Reboot with NO service???

Can someone explain the nature of the reboots that they are experiencing? I had a reboot on Friday but it was much more then just a reboot, after the phone was finishing powering back up I had no ability to call out as if there was no service. I tried numerous battery pulls and even had Verizon do a reset on there end, nothing helped yet I was still able to receive and send data. Finally after about an hour my service was back. Then the same thing happened again yesterday, I went through the same processes with no success yet. I have tried all the different radio choices and nothing is working, does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!!!
Also I am rooted and using the stock rom
Bump..........
Did you do any radio flashes? I know mine rebooted on me when I was trying to flash the GB leak from yesterday and there wasn't even a signal bar...just blank space. I reflashed my radio and everything was ok.
Edit: read the last line that I missed before. I am assuming if you are on a stock rom that you didn't flash any radios (otherwise it would have been noted). Thats the only thing that I have run across causing issues. SMH
Yes, I had similar problem
I was running the Stripped Das BAMF with the new radio (same as the one that recently came out OTA) and had this no service problem twice. Since I'm in a 3G only area, I have been using CDMA auto(PRL) and use the Phoneinfo app to change it. I tried to change the network type to something else but couldn't change it. (I presume the network type is for data, but I was trying to see if changing it would affect the service). The other options were there, but I couldn't select anything other than the CDMA auto. A battery pull fixed my problem both times.
Now I'm running BAMF Remix 1.6.3 with the new radio and everything is fine. I don't change the voltages or overclock. Yesterday as I was driving around town the phone rang, but I didn't answer it. When I got home, the phone had powered down and did a reboot.
Just an additional thought. You might try doing a data wipe/factory reset to see if that helps. Of course, you lose your settings that way, so back up first.

[Q] CM9 Alfa 17 data not working

I followed directions to wipe everything as suggested in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20485148&postcount=146
Was using Alfa 13 just fine, but on Alfa 17 I can not get cellular data to work. Confirmed my WAP settings are correct for my carrier.
My baseband it says its a i9020xxkf1 and everything else on the phone works. I can access the market, wifi works, account sync if i have wifi on. I have doubled checked every possible setting. But it will not bring up a data connection over the cellular radio. It even takes calls over the radio. Just no data connectivity.
Any suggestions or reasons why this is occurring? I can easily swap back to an older nandroid image of alfa 13, but I would really like to get on a new version etc.
(Also, I would have made this post in the right dev section, but i lack 10 posts to gain access to it.)
Have you tried removing and replacing your SIM card ?
Also, check if your data counter has a limit set on
You could also manually configure your APN settings with your carrier's settings
Unfortunatly I have done all of those things. It doesn't even attempt to connect to data. I sit at 4 or 5 bars of signal and it never even connects to EDGE/3g at all. Yet if I flip back over to my older image it works flawlessly.
i have also problem with version 17, but i can't post it to developer forum (newbie here)
problem is that i can't hook on any network, no calls no messegas, i'm using croatian tele2/t-mobile....sometimes it connects but still nothing, no calss etc.
also problem (not so much a problem but a solution) when i installed ROM it went to bootloop, all you have to do is remove battery and power up again, and voila, it works, same problem happened when i installed gapps (same solution worked, everything installed from CWM latest version)
there were also posts regarding cwm not stiking after installing cynogen, i had no problem with it, i have latest cwm 5.0.2.3 (think so), sticks like hell tried couple of roms, still sticking
cheers
I have the same problem here... ICS 4.0.3 and my 3G stopped to work.
also tried new 18 version, still no luck, i'm staying on cynogenmod 7 (GB), only ICS version that worked was MUI but i don't like it very much....

It has been messed around with a fair bit. Various methods have worked for different people. YMMV. I myself had such an issue with the stock FW (of all FWs...).

[Q] Wifi Issue

I own a HTC One S with stock vodafone (gb) rom, rooted, ICS 4.0.3, Touch 4.0. As I see a lot of people have similar issues as mine, however, I wasn't able to find a working solution. So the problem is that the phone stopped being able to connect to wifi networks - no matter if secured or free. I tried to change the settings from dhcp to static, stll nothing. It goes through connecting>obtaining ip address>authenticating>saved,secure... in whatever order, and the cycle repeats over and over... Sometimes bars appear, blink and disappear again. I had no wifi problems until last night, when I went to a place with free wifi, and for the first time I could not connect to it. After that the issue continued at home. Restarting the router/phone don't work. Has anybody found a working solution?

Not a good solution but you could try a factory reset if nothing else works.
-Sent from my TMOUS HTC One S.-
-Stock/rooted 2.21 + 1.06s baseband-
-Hboot 1.06-
I rebooted the phone a few times (waiting 6 mins when off) without fastboot on and on the third time it started working. I hope this doesn't happen again... As I searched through the forums I saw a lot of people having similar issues mainly with dhcp.. hope there's a fix for that...
Problem appeared again... This time reboot isn't solving anything. When I put it on static IP it connects to the network and disconnects over and over again. This s*** is driving me crazy...
are you running a custom kernel?
No. It's stock. Recovery is CWM, phone is rooted via this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577831
it could be the boot.img causing your issue. i rooted via this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427 and have never had a problem with wifi unless i had flashed a custom kernel
Well.. I don't know, because I haven't flashed a custom ROM.. Just rooted the stock one... Btw it started working again after like 10 reboots with no fastboot on, but experience tells me that it'll go crazy again...
you could also try flashing a custom rom, it might fix the issue

[Q] Connectivity issues on Nexus 5

Hi,
I have serious connectivity issues with my Nexus 5.
Most of the time I am only picking up 2G signal, sometimes the connection drops compeltely. However, I had a very unstable 3G/H/LTE connection for a few minutes sometimes in the last days.
This started after changing the battery and upgrading from Cyanogenmod 12 to 12.1. Unfortunately I did both changes at the same time, so I am not sure what caused this problem.
The following things I could rule out/test:
- Another phone (Nexus 4) picks up H+ with my sim
- My phone doesn't pick up 3G/H/LTE with another (working) sim
- I have checked the connections of the both cables running alongside the battery, I also checked the cables itself.
- I fiddled with the apn settings, also I never touched them before and everything worked fine.
- I have updated the radio image.
The one thing I couldn't try is flashing an older cyanogenmod 12, because I have no backup and couldn't find one online.
Does any of you have any ideas what I can do?
I would be really thankful for any kind of help.
Who is your carrier :/
I probably should have added that in the first place.
My carrier is T-Mobile in germany.
I have the same problem. Also i'm tryed flash Android 5.0 and Android M, in stock i have Android 5.1.1. Who khow how to fix this ?
I have no solution yet. The next thing I want to try is to roll back to Cyanogenmod 12, but I guess I am going to build it myself because it seems to have vanished from the internet.
I do occasionally get LTE, but it is very unstable and doesn't work most of the time.

Problem dropping calls

Hey
Does anyone experience problems of phone having full signal and then dropping it.
The problem I'm experiencing is frequent dropout during calls and being unable to establish them afterwards.
I can send texts and use the internet one minute and the next the phone doesn't work and drops my calls as well as doesn't accept them.
I tried swapping SIMs, rebooting, flight mode, you name it. The phone starts working again after about five minutes.
Here is the error:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e6_D3RM6luCK_LWDQSmOq-gJmmxjQOd9/view?usp=sharing
I would really appreciate some help. I highly suspect that this started happening with one of the latest updates.
I'm on a vanilla 12.0.3 Global rom.
Cheers

Yup. I have it pinpointed to a software problem as the phone worked just fine until a couple of updates ago. I can't however work out what could cause it.
I'm currently trying toggling VoLTE and changing APN settings (APN had wrong settings but still worked). Maybe the combination of both could cause problem.
I have also found out that SMS and data connection works fine all the time. It's just the calling function that causes the problem. I can listen to Spotify all day and it will work but as soon as someone tries to call me the signal will drop and everything stops. When I call the same thing happens. The bars just drop to 0 and playback stops. It resumes right after and works fine as long as I don't try to call. If I do the same thing happens.
The issue resolves itself after 5-30 minutes or so and then everything works totally fine.
So yeah if I had a rooted phone I would definitely contribute this to faulty rom or a rogue app. But I don't have one so it should work fine.
I've managed to capture it on video (sorry for the shaky camera but it was hard to film using one hand):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxusuCwsiBc&t=2s
Reboots, flight mode, swapping SIM cards (using a brand new one), using a SIM in slot 1 or slot 2, heck both slots, VoLTE on or off... I have literally tried everything. Nothing changes. Placing the same card in my other phone is fine. The problem happens everywhere and not only in one place so it's not reception. Also it doesn't matter if I'm moving or not so it's not switching between towers.
Same prob
I have the same prob, and I also tried every thing even flashing lineage didn't help, did u manage to find solution????

Sort off. I had to send it to a service center and they've returned my money as it was deemed irreparable.
