[Q] After upgrade to ISC, have no more service.

Phone info:
Nexus S GT-i9020A
carrier:Fido
location:Canada
I was using the formels MIU os and everything was fine. I flashed Brainmaster's Stock ICS 4.0.3 and then lost signal. I can't search for networks nothing. I even tried installing the radio that corresponds to my phone, which I assume is UCKF1. I have gone back to MIU and STILL have no signal.
I've tried *#*#4636#*#* and selecting the band to USA.
When flashing other roms and kernels, this never happened to me. Any help please? Been trying to fix this since yesterday and now luck D'x
Probably the wrong radio. Download the full stock 2.3.6 for your device and flash only the radio from there.
I am actually haveing the same issue, seems to be efs is currupted...

You mean restoring from nandroid backup? That won't do the trick because CWM backup doesn't include radio. You have to use the full OTA package for your phone model.

Flash a diff one
If u used brainmasters with the new radio you could of just flashed an older one. I had that problem too went back to b3 and worked fine

My IMEI is gone:(.

Hello,
Todat i got the problem that my IMEI is gone.
After i went from stock v21e via KDZ method to cyanogenmod rc3 everything was working fine.
now i wanted to try DNA rom and flashed that. but it didnt work. my IMEI was gone.
so i flashed it back to stock v21e with smartflash because kdz method is not working anymore?
But my IMEI is still GONE
is there a way that i cna get this back or do i nee to send it to LG?
Greets, Paul
Help 4 you
Same happened here. Use LGMobileSupportTool, google it. And use recover mobile by S/N and model, or press update device. It will put everything back to normal. But make shure you have most LGïsh rom flashed, coz the software will not accept your phone otherwise. Or just drop me a pm with your email. Ill sent you the software.
Hi. Yes, I’ve had that same problem. You might want to try this fix: Google “TitanKernel_V0.4.2_V21D_09-04-2012”. This might fix it, before having to go through starting from the beginning. I have V21e KDZ flashed, this fix and “ICS_Real3D_Edition_GB_v1.2_Final” flashed on top. Works great.
I got a problem with flashing back the KDZ. i got everything liek normal with lgmobilesupporttool. but when i start small http like normal and start lgmobileupdate.
i get an maintenance error? from lg?
program is not used anymore by LG?
greetings, Paul
Ok so i got it flashed back to stock. by letting it update.
now i got v21b. and got it rooted with megatron.
but when i install any custom rom except for cyanogenmod. my IMEI gets lost again?

[Q] Why am I not consistently connecting to LTE

Hello, sorry if this has been asked before but my phone has been having trouble connecting to LTE for some reason. I'm assuming it has something to do with my radios or something along those lines. My friend is able to connect just fine and he is on the same rom as I and he also has the same phone.
If someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome!
Thanks!

Did you flash the custom firmware with it too? If so that's likely the problem. Been hearing of a lot of radio issues from L gpe roms lately.
A factory reset in stock recovery (stock vzw recovery) usually fixes it.

The custom firmware seems to cause the issue worse than the 4.4.4 firmware. Most everyone seems to be having this issue but overlook. It also makes loading web pages really slow. Flashing the stock RUU and factory reset did not change anything, it seems the firmware is not right for Verizon phones.

If you flashed the vzw ruu you are no longer on custom firmware.

That was just to start over, I then tried the custom firmware a few more times on multiple ROM's with the same results. Constant signal loss and slow data speeds.

That custom firmware should not be flashed to a vzw phone. I have no idea why he posted that firmware to be flashed. You can tell by the info.txt file that it was not.
The included wcnss was never intended to be used on a vzw phone for cdma/lte access.

OP, your best bet is to flash a stock Verizon RUU (this one works great and is for S-OFF devices), then once it is fully flashed, go into stock recovery and then do a factory reset (this is an important step, this is where you get your proper Verizon radio settings/files back!).
After that, you can go ahead and flash back to DH GPE without using custom firmware and you should be fully functional again with LTE.
And to repeat, you MUST do a factory reset from stock recovery, don't skip this step!

Yeah I think most who are using it are either lucky or do not care or notice the dropped, weak signals. I've tried everything more than once to get it working right and the results are always the same, it acts like it's the wrong firmware, cause it is lol. Some claim to have the same issues but ignore them. I need my phone to work no matter what ROM it is. Thanks for all your help bro I see you are willing to help us when in need, that is greatly appreciated. I hope users send donations your way, I sure will once i get ahead again.
Have you set your APP correctly.
So I just tried this and cannot get back into stock recovery to wipe data. Had to factory reset from hboot, that worked but not sure if it does the same thing as the one in stock recovery, please advise. Then tried to flash the stock recovery and it's still taking me to the darn red triangle with an exclamation point. I am going to continue and install LiquidSmooth 4.0 1-02 nightly after I flash custom recovery. I have searched but cannot find anything on our variant. Thank you all in advance.

When you get the red triangle, you press volume up and power to enter stock recovery. Keep practicing.
LTE drops on and off
I think I have the same issue as OP. However, I'll go further and note that I notice this on ALL AOSP roms as well as the GPe rom. It's not so much that the connection is bad, it looks good. But it drops on and off randomly. I followed the instructions here to factory reset the firmware using the 4.4.4 ruu. It definitely seems to be better but I still have this issue in DH's GPe (stock kernel). Any further ideas?

That signal drop off issue happens to me on gpe ROMs. So far all the cm12 ROMs out there have had a perfect signal with good speeds for me. I think the signal drop off issue is something to do with the gpe ROMs.
Currently running blisspop newest nightly with 4.4.4 straight from RUU.

Suddenly extremely poor reception

I'm having major issues with reception in my house, and only on my 16 GB OnePlus One. When switching to my Windows Lumia 635 or my HTC One X+, I get fine reception-- but as soon as my SIM's in my OnePlus One, I start receiving texts extremely late, which is a problem with apps like WhatsApp which require text verification.
I'm running stock ROM. That's CM 12.0-YNG1TAS17L. Stock kernel, unrooted even (ever since I flashed it back to stock to try and fix the reception issues). I've also tried OxygenOS, BlissPop, and Exodus and none of those have fixed my reception woes. Thanks in advance!

You ever get this fixed? I recently took a trip to San Diego and noticed the poor reception there.. a friend of mine, who's also on T-Mobile, has excellent reception with his new HTC One. I, on the other hand, had horrible reception; sometimes none at all. I've manually flashed the latest radio and still no dice.

Yeah-- here's what I did:
1. Flash stock ROM.
2. Update to latest stock ROM version via the CM updater.
3. Install TWRP again if needed.
4. Followed steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/fix-cm12-calls-sms-mms-deep-sleep-t3103193
I flashed both the modem and proximity packages after updating to latest stock, and I reflash every time there's a new stock update. Hopefully this works for you!

Wait, isn't the stock from still on 4.4 or something? How does that fix 5.0+ issues? Anyways, I'll give it a try, can't hurt, right? Thanks, I'll let you know how it goes.

Well, stock is 4.4, but when you use the stock CM updater you'll be brought to CM12, 5.0.2. You don't have to stay on 4.4

(Though presumably you could just try flashing modem and prox packages without flashing back to stock-- I just wanted to be sure as possible that nothing would interfere with the packages.)

Flashed an old backup of stock, baseband stayed the same. Also, when I check for ROM updates, it says there are none. Currently on 4.4.4

Help Needed with Samsung G920P after root

Hi Guys, I know I am an idiot for not following all those guides properly and now I think I have bricked my device?
Well I am in Australia and I have this G920P model on android 5.1.1 (Unrooted). All was working fine, I bought it second hand from someone, I believe this is a U.S Sprint version, But I had my Telstra sim working in it with 4g data without issues.
So I decided to root it (without backing up- I know my mistake) and then flash XtreStoLite rom (again without doing any backup of original Rom). After that My device did not detect my sim card and there is nothing in the IMEI section of the phone.
I tried to flash official G920P rom via odin which installed successfully, and it shows signal on my phone, let me make calls but No Data. Seems like it is not registering my phone on the network properly.
So what have I done to my phone? Any chances to recover it somehow?

Have you the efs folder in your / partition? To check:
-Open any root explorer
-Go to / and check if efs folder exist
-If exists any file into it, tell me.

Thanks for a quick response, I Installed a root browser app and yes I can see EFS folder there and there are a bunch of folders and files in the EFS folder. e.g bluetooth, carrier, cpk, Factoryapp, imei, lost+found.... and so on
Appreciate your help in advance.
Have you checked your apn setting ? Make sure your carriers apn settings are restored.

Ok, I have entered my network's pan settings manually and I get can get the data working but it only picks up 3g not 4g. I can make calls too.
But every time i restart the phone it keeps on checking the network status and picks up the signal after 3-4 minutes.
Also its stuck on the Hands Free activation screen and keeps on re-trying it.
Any help would be appreciated if I can get my device back to a normal one. Any other ROM's should i try?
One more question guys, Is there any non - sprint ROM for this device G920P? Because when I bought the device, I had no sprint stuff on it. No boot up splash screen or anything. I did not make note of which build version was it on but it definitely said G920P and it was on android 5.1.1.
Thanks
You may find and extra menu by typing ##scrtn#. I wouldnt reset to defaut as those general would be sprints settings. Try to find your carriers apn settings online.You should be able to cancel the hands free default activation. Are you still rooted?

Stock or custom? If i find it i'll give you a notice asap.
I am now on a stock rooted rom. Would prefer to have a rooted rom. I have tried installing renegade but it get stuck on finding network and stuck in a loop.
Imei number is now showing up. But i wonder what version this phone was on when it was unrooted ? As everything was working perfect and i had no traces of sprint either.
