This is consistent across every CM14 ROM I've flashed. I am upgrading from CM13.
The signal bar at the top is blank as in "no service", it attempts to reconnect and show a signal for a split second but then goes back to "no service" again. When I remove my SIM card and reboot the problem simply vanishes, but of course I can't get LTE
Firmware: PCA
Recovery: TWRP 3.0.1.0
I have tried running the ROM stock with no data restore and I have tried flashing APN settings from this post.
I at first thought it was a CM14 bug but then I read that others had no problems with CM14 ROMs.
Assuming you actually have a SM-G900P (since a lot of people ignore that little detail) it's probably a matter of Cm14/14.1 doesn't appear to be wholly happy with anything other than the latest baseband, which is now PK1. To get it, just reflash to stock with Odin and then poke at the thing until it gets the two OTA updates that will bring you up to PK1. At that point if you like you can poke at the controls to update the PRL and Profile (just to be sure everything's good) and then let me suggest you make a call or two and/or send some SMSes to be sure you didn't mess something up when you tried to change the APN settings one almost never needs to touch, and then flash TWRP (or whatever recovery you use) right back in and sideload the Cm14.1 nightly and open-gapps for 7.1. Also, you will need to do a factory reset after upgrading to 14.1 or you'll get a wholly different set of misbehaviours out of the phone (trust me... I deliberately cut corners through multiple rounds of reflashing to find out what symptoms to look for). One of the more endearing failures can be no soft keyboard, nobody wants that.
I had a bunch of weirdness happening (including completely non-functional GPS) with CM14 a few days ago, and since the changelog doesn't seem to show anything addressing the screwy problems I had, it hints very strongly that people will need to update to PK1 before they can expect the device be reliable.
OH... and don't try and enable Adoptive Storage if it asks. The performance is abysmal for some reason (around 2Mb/s on a Class-10 card that otherwise hums along at 14Mb/s) and it will make any apps that are trying to use storage run like crap.
So people have it working on PK1? Has anyone had it working on PCA?
Edit: Odin restored PK1, it didnt want to boot after the reflash. I installed TWRP and restored a PCA Backup, updated PRL and profile. I flashed a cm14.1 ROM and still had the same issues.
It also didn't wipe my internal storage when I ran odin, which I remember it doing in the past.
Worked great on my S5 900P
Gracefully I got it to work on Resurrection Remix. Idk if it was the APNs or just more stable ROMs.
I booted RR stock w/o gapps, I went to enter in the APN settings using this site and it just magically worked after I entered in only the first line. It's hard to tell if it was because the ROM found out how to connect or if the first line of the APN settings triggered something.

So I originally rooted my S3 using odin and a stock verizon software followed by using ez bootload unlock, ez recovery, and clockwork mod. I used the custom rom cyanogen mod, and eventually continued to update those roms when they rolled out the OTA updates. When the latest update came out on the 18th I noticed an issue with my contacts. Due to this I reverted to the 16th rom, but something went terribly wrong. At this time I tried re-rooting, tried different types of rooting and got my device working along with my contacts back, but it rendered my sim card useless. I tried everything I could find on the internet. I finally covered my tracks and took it to the verizon store. They replace the sim card, but it still didn't work. They replaced my device, and me being dumb I rooted it again. Same original rooting that worked the first time. It worked at first, but then the same issue occurred. I'm not sure what to do, I can't go back to verizon again. They will expect something this time. It makes no sense. The hardware is not an issue, there is some data error somewhere. PLEASE HELP!!!
TLDR; Crazy weird data issue maybe? Whoever can solve this will be the House of Android rooting.

Why don't you try to Odin a pre-rooted Verizon stock can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984436 to see if it addressed both our your issues?
I just had some major issues with this as well. There is something wrong with the nightly versions of CM 10.1.
Like you - I flashed CM 10.1 12/18 and found that my data was not working. I then searched this forum and found that other users were having the no data issue as well. I decided that I would do the same and flash back to an earlier CM 10 release from December, but the update did not go as expected. Due to going 10.1 to 10 I had to wipe data/cache/dalvik. At this point I got CM 10 reinstalled, but the phone came up with NO cell coverage. I went to System Settings -> About -> Status and found that the phone was no longer registering my cellular network (Verizon) or phone number. My IMEI data was dead.
Luckily in my case I had already made backups of my IMEI data per this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852255
I restored my IMEI and reflashed CM 10 12/16. Everything is now working as expected. Your issue sounds identical to mine - I just spent half the day fighting with the exact same issue. I definitely learned my lesson about staying so current with the NIGHTLY builds for day-to-day non-dev use. I knew it before, it just never bit me like this.
Anyways, I hope this information helps you somewhat. Good luck!

You most likely lost you imei/min or something, you can check in settings>about phone>status. Easy way to correct it is to flash a older stock ICS image and use the reprovision code. Flash this in odin then type this in the dialer *2767*3855# and that should fix ya back up. Flashing anything carries a risk of dropping your imei but it happens much more on AOSP roms.
Hi there,
First post where I feel like I've tried everything and about to give up. Bought SCH-i705 Verizon tab 2 7.0 with LTE, I live in Canada in an LTE metropolis with TELUS service, I rooted the tablet according to here which was successful.
I never was able to edit/add APN's (there was nothing showing or options to do anything on APN setting page...so then made a few edits to build.prop with two lines where I can add/edit and return to default. (ro.sales_code=LOL and ro.csc.sales_code=LOL)
I've edited the apns-conf.xml file a ton of times, made adjustments all over the place comparing to my other android units and forums for TELUS apn settings. I disable the Non-Verizon Sim Card alert just so that I could feel better about maybe getting somewhere.
I'm a noob (and a girl) and this is the first root I've ever done JUST because I couldn't ever obtain LTE/3G data connection. WIFI is great but I bought this unit for the chance to be mobile with it.
Tonight I thought Mr. Hyde's Modem change here would kick it in the butt but still, reboots continually give me "No Internet Connection" errors. Is there a way to tweak in build.prop to get this functional? I really don't want to have to set up a hotspot for this puppy when on-the-go.
Thanks in advance,
Lisa
What i would do is do a clean flash of the rom again before trying various modems. MrHyde03 has two modems i believe that he has posted for the sch-i705 one is the g3 and one is j1. If youve downgraded to g3 i suggest flashing the newer j1 before you reflash his rom. after you have the current up-to-date modem flashed then boot into recovery and do a factory wipe. also make sure to go into mounts and flash the /system. Try to flash the rom again after youve done this before attempting to mod the system since there are no other post for internet connection errors in hyde's thread.
I ran thru doing a clean flash of the rom and steps you outlined. Still no avail... One thing I noticed this time on the locked screen was "searching for service"... when I went on to attempt to add my APN with the 2 lines from my frist post into build.prop so I could add my APN settings, the "searching for service" went away.

<bump> hadn't heard if anyone else had any other ideas to get data working. I don't have a way to test whether a data connection functionality is even possible as outside of Verizon territory at this point. Any other Canadians in Bell/Telus/Rogers regions playing around with this specific device?
Please bare with me since this is the first time having to post for an issue since I usually find an answer on your forums
So here's the situation.
I bought the photon q 4g lte from ebay and it came with the unlocked bootloader.
Needless to say it was with the stock ics and i tried to find a jellybean update because it wasn't taking the ota and ended up going with cyanogen since i had no problems before. However those phones i had before were with sim cards not cdma.
I found out i couldn't update prl or profile manually without having to do something on the pc.
So after searching left and right i found i could use rsl lite (I used 6.1.5) and eventually found the "stock" file from this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095536&highlight=rsd+lite
I did the stock jellybean, got it to go through the process and it booted up with no errors.
However, when it boots into the os it pops up a force close on omadmclient_sprint_dataservice and eventually also on the process com.android.phone.
I tried putting it in airplane mode to see if the service error would go away but it didn't work for the process part crashing.
I tried re-flashing, deleting cache in recovery, doing a data/factory reset in recovery and the one time i was able to do a data factory reset within the settings menu.
I could not find anyone that said they had a rom that worked with sprint and updating prl within the rom, if anyone knows of one let me know and i will flash it through rsd.
Otherwise does anyone have an idea of what could be happening because googling the omadmclient part did not pull up anything specific and pulling up the process issue for other phones has not helped me either.
Was this a hacked GSM phone, or are you using it as CDMA?
I've never heard of people having FC issues after flashing a FXZ from RSD. Which one did you flash? Android 4.1.2 - Sprint US - 9.8.2Q-122_XT897_FFW-5 (No simlock) ?
If you are on stock, you should be able to update the PRL within the ROM.
I was trying to use it with cdma network through sprint. and yeah that was the file i downloaded, had to remove the getvar to get it working but flashed with no errors after doing that.
As for updating the prl i can barely navigate through the phone, there is no home page loading and the process pop comes up often enough that its hard to go through the settings

Sounds like something went wrong mate. Are you already activated on Sprint? I don't know if that would matter, it might.
I would honestly redownload and redo the RSD process.

I originally tried to activate the phone through cyanogen and then when the rep said he couldnt do it because of the lack of prl to update within the rom we just setup the activation back on the old phone/ That phone is working on the network.
I re-downloaded the file just in case and re-flashed but same problem. The only thing i thought of was maybe updating the radio but since its a stock rom it should work out of the gate. whats also weird is i tried turning wifi on but it didnt work either.
Anychange you know of a rom that works with sprint. I dont care if its stock since i would probably root later again.

Which one are you flashing?
Try another perhaps...? I honestly have never heard of this. It sounds like the phone might be damaged, or the RSD process just did not flash correctly.
I guess I should ask, was the phone modified at all for the GSM SIM slot mod? I wonder if having a non-Sprint SIM in is messing with it... That is just a shot in the dark.

so far the only rom i tried was 10.1 cyanogen and the stock rom for jellybean. However for the stock rom it doesnt let me downgrade to ics with rsd 6.1.5 do you think if i downloaded an old version i could downgrade to a lower stock rom?
Also I honestly had not looked for the cdma roms since most of what i saw was troubleshooting related for this phone but i just saw this rom -AOKP 4.2.2 (Android Open Kang Project) (CDMA&GSM) that you created - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293892
I re-rooted and installed that one and it looks great, just wondered how you got sprint to activate the phone or if you had done it before changing the rom? Also how would the prl and profile be updated.
Lastly the wifi wasn't turning on this time either, it did work initially when i got the phone so that has me stumped.

To downgrade to ICS, you need to remove some additional lines. See this post for more information on that.
However, you should be able to update the PRL on either stock ROM.
I think I said this before, but I will say it again. You need to do PRL updates, activate the phone, and get EVERYTHING working on stock BEFORE you flash ANY custom ROM. This is just standard practice - you don't want to put the cart before the horse! Get the phone working, then play with custom ROM's.
I'm having an odd issue. I've been running the latest Hyperdrive ROM release on my S3 for about a year now, but I can't stand Touchwiz ROM's so I've tried flashing AOSP ROM's such as CM, AOKP, even Beanstalk. I love all of these ROMs for tons of reasons but I keep running into the same problem, everything works great but I can't receive mobile data. My mobile network state is Disconnected and I have no idea how to fix that. I can text, call, and connect to wifi fine, but no mobile data. I've backed up my EFS but I'm not sure that's connected to the same thing. I have the network set to "CDMA/LTE" (would be more specific but each ROM has it different), but for whatever reason the APN settings are inaccessible. The menu option is clearly there but I cannot open it to ensure I'm using the LTE APN. I decided to give this another go yesterday, and still no dice. However upon restoring my CWM backup of Hyperdrive, I have now lost 4G and am stuck on 3G. My network type now shows eHRPD and while I can access my APN's (I was always able to on Touchwiz ROMs) I can tap on the Verizon LTE APN, but it seems to make absolutely no change to the actual APN. In fact when I reboot it it defaults back to eHRPD all over again.
So, 1. have I somehow screwed myself over? and 2. what am I missing with AOSP based ROMs?
Thanks for any and all help.

I would try flashing a stock ROM such as the one on ScottsROMs.com
The 4.3 stock rooted, OTA disabled, UNlocled boot loader and no Knox.
See if you can get data with that. Firmware for the radio may have gotten messed up, and this would re-write that data (long shot, but worth a try). Another option would be to re-flash the radio maybe.
And now that I think of it, which radio are you on? MF1, ML1, NE1? Because I think I read somewhere that certain ROMs require a certain radio newer than _____ (don't remember which radio).

Thanks for the help. I flashed a 4.3 ROM as you suggested, and no difference. I then chased some threads around and decided to just factory reset it as if I was going to return it. Still nothing, I get 3G, not LTE. I was using MB1 before I flashed an AOSP ROM, at which point I flashed the MF1 firmware and then the ML1 modem. That did nothing to fix my issue. I'm not quite sure what else I can do at this point.

Hmm... ML1 should be new enough.
That's a bizarre issue.
For me, I mainly get 3G. It seems as if either Verizon pulled some LTE towers near me, or my data antenna doesn't have very good contact. Maybe you're having the same issue.
Do you EVER get 4G? Or literally never?
So i was using elixir for a while and it was getting buggy and slow and i haven't seen that much support from the developer so i decided to switch to xTraSmooth
Upon loading the rom up i decided i wanted a fresh slate and none off the apps or app data from previous roms
So i (Dont put the rom.zip back onto the phone) and wipe everything. After that i had no usb access. So i fiddled around with uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers until sideload would work
i sideloaded the rom and booted into it. First red flag was that i had no sim card. After i went through the welcome screen i noticed i had no soft keys, no top bar, no simcard, no wifi, no nothing.
I looked into the settings>about phone and noticed i have no baseband version so i think there is no radio?
EDIT: I had usb access after so i loaded the rom normally and flashed the zip. Same result.
If anyone could tell me whats wrong and help me get a clean xTraSmooth version on my phone that would be very much appreciated
Thank you for the help!
No? No one knows anything?
Try to flash again and also flash the radio. ZIP is with the folders of the developer of this rom.. That might help.
