I've been beating my head against the wall trying to figure this out. So the phone was brand new, it worked with Verizon on stock rom. Now that I have a custom rom the service nor the data will work with Verizon (wifi and all other features work.) I've installed a few roms and none work. I've tried with and without Gapps. Still nothing.
It is a Motorola Moto G7, not Play or Power.
I've tried changing network settings to everything available, tried changing APN settings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can verify whether or not your IMEI is intact?
Just to be certain, when you flashed your ROM, did you factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing the ROM?
Did you wipe the system partition before fladhing the ROM? This is sometimes necessary to avoid issues in the newer ROM.

Thank you for the response! Sorry for the delay I had to go out of town and didn't have the phone, I wanted to check everything and such prior to responding.
The IMEI looks to be intact, not sure how to tell it's not? I'm pretty sure I factory reset and wiped everything. I don't think I did the system partition. I can't remember.
This information might help as well. It seems to be something with 4GLTE. My mobile data will only show 3G (and it don't work). Once when in the Mobile settings while inserting the SIM I seen VOLTE pop up, had a full signal, then it disappeared, went to some other settings and the signal dropped as well.

I know there are other similar posts on XDA, but i recently rooted my friend's Captivate and flashed the Cyanogenmod-161 Nightly. I am running the same ROM on my Captivate and have had no problems at all, but on my friend's phone his SIM card is not recognized and in the about phone settings it says unknown for the baseband. I've looked around and have learned that its probably because something went wrong with the radio/modem, but I don't know how to fix this. I've tried flashing back to JF6, but I get the same issue. Step-by-step instructions and a link to where I can download the correct radio/modem would be awesome. Thanks.
Have you tried doing a full wipe then flashing a new rom (before any technical stuff come into play)?
Yes, first I manually deleted all of the folders on the SD card (not the root though) then I did a factory reset from the settings menu. Then from the clockwork recovery menu I wiped data/factory reset, wiped cache partition, and wiped Dalvik cache. After all that I flashed the latest Cyanogenmod nightly (164) and it still said unknown baseband. Is there a different way I need to be hard resetting the phone?
If I were to make a nandroid backup of my phone, and restore it on my friends phone, would that fix the problems?
I flashed the ROM and baseband per instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...-android-4-4-3-ktu84m-rooted-busybox-t2557523
I had 4.4.2 and he said it had to be stock, and it was with the exception of potentially having some system files modified due to other apps, like Android Tuner. I wiped Dalvik cache and regular cache, installed both files as mentioned through TWRP, and yet upon starting I get a notice to update to 4.4.3 despite already being on 4.4.3, and it can't connect to T-Mobile which is my service provider. Am I doing something wrong here? I figured by "stock" ROM he meant the original and not CyanogenMod or anything like it. Was that supposed to mean stock Android with zero modifications to the system files?
I didn't want to do a factory reset and have to redo all my data and applications, but if I must then I will.
There is a rough thunderstorm going on so maybe that knocked out T-Mobile service, but I find it rather coincidental.
]UPDATE] Turns out that the storm coincidentally disabled the towers at around the exact time I updated my phone. The phone was flashed fine. T-Mobile is the problem. Thanks for the help!
It doesn't matter what ROM you're coming from but if it's not stock you need to wipe. But whatever mods you have on stock is irrelevant.
If you're having issues connecting,, wiping cache is often the cause. Check. Our imei etc is correct. Maybe fastboot flash a stock cache image or Nandroid restore

It was the original stock that shipped with the phone, with potentially some files modified from an application. Strangely when searching for networks to connect to, Sprint and AT&T show up as normal but not T-Mobile, although their APN's show up as if I am connected but can't get access to their service.
The IMEI within the phone appears to match the worn off label. Either way, I cleared the Dalvik and regular cache again so I'll see what happens when the phone finishes booting.
Surely it's booted by now?

It finished updating the apps and didn't get a connection, however when I traveled outside of my home zone to work, after I reach the spot outside of the city at which there is no LTE support and it drops to EDGE the connection picked up and remained. After I returned from work and got back in the city near my home where it switches back to LTE the connection dropped again and remained that way even after wiping the caches again.
Does this still sound like a software problem or maybe it's on T-Mobile's end?
Fixed

So a week ago I did a fresh install of Lollipop via the factory image for LRX21O, rooted it, and installed Franco's kernel #68. Everything worked great until yesterday as it seems I've lost all mobile data connectivity. I can still make phone calls and text messages, but data is a no go when mobile. So far here's what I tried:
Made sure the APN was Correct
Cycled Flight Mode
Cycled Power
Pulled & Re-Installed SIM Card
Cleared the Cache
Factory Reset
Re-flashed Stock Kernel
Flashed Android 4.4.4 Radio
Re-Flashed Lollipop Factory Image
Restored Previous known working install of Android 4.4.4 via TWRP
Made sure there were no billing issues with my carrier.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm especially concerned and convinced its not specifically a Lollipop problem (though that doesn't mean it didn't cause it) since it did not restore functionality when I flashed back KitKat. I've never used 3rd Party ROMs on this phone, only rooted stock. My carrier is SimpleMobile.

Maybe you need to contact your carrier?
You're not alone, I'm having the same problem since going to 5.0. I use Red Pocket on AT&T's network. Can't get mobile data working at all. Contacted Red Pocket and they reset my data on their end but still a no-go. Wi-Fi fine, calls and SMS fine. MMS, like data, doesn't work.
I guess I'll pick up another MVNO card to make sure it isn't still Red Pocket's issue. I have another SIM, but unfortunately my T-Mobile card, which is usually in a Lumia 1520, doesn't work for data on the Nexus 5 because that is on their blocked list of phones (stupid carriers).
Hi all,
I have a K1 and have been using it for around a year with little issues. But it became sluggish and unresponsive so I felt it was time for a fresh rom.
I first went for AICP - 12.1 - N 7.1_r9, later also tried Tesla N - 7.1.1_r13 [OMS] and Cyanogenmod 13.0 for Shield Tablet, but no matter what ROM I tried, I always end up with absolutely NO wifi.
When trying to activate Wifi during the initial setup, it takes forever and then just quits trying. No networks show up and my MAC is shown as "02: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00" which I am sure is not my actualy MAC address.
I have read into the issue here androidpolice. com/2016/02/02/nvidia-has-halted-the-android-6-0-update-for-the-shield-tablet-because-it-might-break-your-wifi/ and on other sites and it appears to be a known issue. But the bug described above is
a) so old I'm sure it has been fixed in N 7.1 or CM 13.01 and
b) is supposed to only affect the original shield tablet and not the K1 version.
(maybe not even a bug but a feature? android-developers. googleblog.com/2016/02/marshmallow-and-user-data.html)
I read somewhere that rebooting might help, it did not. Also, someone suggested to use ES File Explorer to change the MAC manually. Sadly, I get a write error when trying to change the txt file.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
What OS version were you on before going the custom rom way? 1.5 (the latest)? 1.4 had WIFI issues. And 1.5 has a new bootloader.

I actually have not checked but can say I have applied all OTA updates that were available from nvidia
Did you do a clean installation of your custom rom (Wipe system, cache, data)? Especially not wiping system before flashing a new rom can be the culprit.

I used the standard TWRP wipe a few times and also manually did more complete wipes before flashing the different roms.
The standard TWRP wipe does not format system. You must use "Advanced" and then select system !!, cache and data (a so-called "clean flash"). If you don't format system you get incompatible settings especially if you switch between different rom and os versions. If you want to return to stock search in this forum. There is a detailed description here.

quite sure I did include a system wipe at least once during the numerous flashes. But thanks for the tip, I will try this later today and let you know.
I again tried fresh installs of different ROMs, this time I have wiped everything except SD. No difference, still the same useless MAC address and no wifi.
Sorry, but I don't have much more ideas.
Tried to reset your router? Removed the tablet from the router?
I remember someone having such problems before. And his router had saved some incorrect informations. After removing the device from the router or resetting it (don't what it was anymore) the device was working again.

thanks for the ideas, anyway. I don't see how this could be router-related because the device does not even enable the wifi. I have multiple networks in my house and the error occurs long before any of them should be visible.
I guess my only option is to find a stock ROM and see if that helps. I tried HyperStock yesterday with no success...
Then you should go the hard way and return your tablet to stock 1.5.0. Remember to save your data since everything will be erased.
Hi,
I'm in the process of trying to flash my phone back to stock because I messed some stuff up in the hidden menu. I've never really messed with any of this stuff before, but it seems like Sony offers all the tools I need and it seems straight forward. I have a couple of questions, though. Will flashing the binary found at this link reset the phone to completely out of the box condition and will it function as if I never messed with anything? Will it function as if it's 100% stock and still receive updates normally?
I've wasted my entire afternoon trying to figure out how to factory reset this menu and I'd like for the phone to just back to how it was out of the box.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer.
The phone is a Sony Xperia 5 IV, btw.
A Factory Reset only removes all apps added by user and user-data.
Hence reflash Stock ROM.

Thanks for the reply. I assumed that the rom reflash would reset everything, but I've seen posts on here saying that a rom reflash didn't reset that menu and I'm not sure which is accurate. So, would reflashing the rom actually reset those settings?
