HELP!! flashed ROM now phone has no service

I just flashed to a new ROM and now my phone is not picking up any networks. Its stuck with the ! mark on top, is my SIM card locked? any ideas on what I can do to change this? help is much appreciated guys, thanks
Maybe you need to enter your PIN or configure the network settings? Go to Start - Settings - Connections and start the Connection Setup. Restart.

thanks for the response, but i have already tried this and the problem still exists. I flashed to Duttys 3.1 Final ROM and am using radio version .03, have also used .05 but no luck with that either. It seems as though my phone is not even reading my SIM card. I called T mobile and they said that their network was fine and it just might be a problem with my phone. I have looked around the forums and havent seen anybody else with this type of problem.
Flash to your stock shipped rom w/radio, hard reset, then flash back to your cooked rom and radio of choice, hard reset.

thanks, ill try that. i have hard SPL unsigned 1.93, will that make a difference when flashing back to my stock ROM? My stock was 1.34 or 1.35. Also, you list that your devise is SIM/Security Unlocked, is that already built in the phone or did you have to do that yourself? And how is your radio when you say its best for the Bay, I say this because I am from San Jose Cali and was wondering which radio version to get.
okay well that didnt work, i cant tell you how many time i flashed my phone so far, im startin to just give up and now thinkin the best way to just break my phone. well i put my SIM in my old N95 and it picks up a network, so do you think my diamond just locked my SIM card which is why its not finding any t mobile network? or could there be a problem with the antenna in the phone? please help me out guys, im getting desperate!!

Duttys 3.1 Final, and radio .16 i have tried radio's .03, .05, .08 so that cant be the problem. I have looked around in Duttys thread and found a few people reporting the same problem but there were no solutions that i came across to fixing it
In the band settings did you choose AUTO? Did you enable HSDPA in Connections?
Had the samw problem, just goto Settings > Phone, under band tab change the settings there. If its auto, choose gsm and so on..

That's a little worrying for me - I'm using his V3 ROM, although with the BS14 radio, and as you say there are a few people with the same problem.
ya i just found the issue to my problem, i lose the signal to the network when i unplug my phone from my charger but it finds the signal when i plug it in. not sure why it does that, hopefully somebody can come up with a solution to this
Same ! Problem

Hi Guys,
I've got the same problem. Changing band doesnt seem to fix it. Anyone know what causes it?
I've got same problem too.i've tried flashing with several roms and radio and couldn't sove it.
heeeeeeeelp please
Have you guys flashed with the SIM card out or in? Back when I had my Kaiser flashing to a shipped ROM with the SIM card out used to work. Then I would hard reset. After that put back in the SIM and it would find signal again.

tried this too.don't fixed anything.
ya everytime I flashed my phone, I cant even count how many times now since i got it, I have always left the SIM card in my phone. I have never had any problems with it tying to find a network before. It started acting all weird on me right when I flashed it to 1.93. I think that somehow screwed up the antenna or radio inside that is irreversible no matter what you try. I have tried almost every piece of advise that people have said on this forum with no luck, im getting tempted to just give up trying to fix it myself and send it in for repairs.
Did you solve the problem? My phone had the same, it is coming back tomorrow or after tomorrow from the reparation...If you want I will let you know what was the problem. By the way, I was using Dutty's ROM too. ONLY OFFICIAL ROMS FROM NOW ON for me...
Good luck!

[Q] No 3G data connection!

So, here's my situation:
I'm running a CDMA Gnex with Apex v.1.0.1 as my rom. I flashed a new radio, [Radio Hybrid] VZW EK5 CDMA(4.0.2) / EK4 LTE(4.0.3), in the hopes I could improve the hand off between 3G and 4G... Nope! The phone will no longer, no matter what I do, connect to the 3G network
OK... I figure, no big deal. I'll just flash a different radio set. Next up were the Leaked 4.0.3 Radios. Same thing. NO 3G at all!
Now I'm getting worried. I flash the stock 4.0.2 radios... Still cannot force it to use the CDMA network. I either have 4G data service or none at all...
What am I doing wrong? I've re-booted each radio set a couple times before dumping them for a different set. I've restored the nandroid back up from before I started messing with the radios. No fix there either. I've removed the sim card and reinstalled it (knowing full well it only controls 4G). Nothing doing...
I've seen similar posts about 3G/4G connectivity issues, but mine is strange because it's just the 3G radio that doesn't work. Voice calls and 4G data work fine.
Bigxie's rom has been rock solid, and since all the radios I've used presented the same issue, I'd be hard pressed to say it was one of them. I'm a noob, so I'm thinking user error somewhere along the line. Any help would be appreciated.
Update:
This was a CDMA network issue, not an issue with the Radios or Rom!!!
I magically picked up 3G this morning while at work. Since I was still running the leaked 4.0.3 radios and the Apex Rom, I realized that this was a network problem, not a software problem. I confirmed this with Verizon just now. They brought down the node closest to my place for emergency repair last night. The CDMA radio came back up as soon as it hit a tower that let it authenticate... It was just a coincidence that it occurred right when I flashed my first radio set, and frankly I feel dumb that I didn't see network error as a possibility sooner.
Try going all the way back to stock with stock radios and see if that fixes it?

flash the bootloader before the radio, reboot after flashing the
bootloader then flash radio, reboot, then flash stock.

Signal strenght problem!!! :@

I use Runny ROM v7.0.2 and week ago I changed SIM cards in my Desire, I put another provider. And after that I have serious problems with singal
When phone is in standby it doesn't have any bar of signal and nobody can get me. After 2-3 seconds when it's wake, I get 3 of 5 bars. In RCMix3D Tweaks under "phone information" I use GSM auto (PRL), I tried WCDMA preferred but it's not better. In wireless & networks, under mobile network I tried GSM/WCDMA and GSM only and get the same issue. I also made new APNs.
Radio is 32.56.00.32U-5.17.05.23., also I flashed 3 different ROMs (Runnymede AIO, RunnyROM & Alex-V 1.8 Sense) = nothing helped.
Last what I would try is to flash official RUU (make unroot etc.) to see if it will work normally again.
Can somebody help me with problem, I think it is hardware issue but I have some hope that is software so I can or you can fix it??
Thank you
It seems that on official RUU everything is OK I'll try root it again and flash another custom ROM.
edit: using stock gingerbread ROM, rooted with radio 5.17.05.08. For now seems ok
problem is still here, it seems when I enable always on mobile data that I have the signal when in sleep mode but today again I had issues
Now I flashed 5.17.05.23 radio to see if it will help
I really think it is hardware problem, I will send it to repair to see what they say

[Q] {10-25-2012}{Rom}{ICS} Official Global CM9

* Unfortunately, I'm having the same problems with this ROM on HSDPA that I was having on aeroevan's ROM. GSM is found immediately on boot, however, HSDPA is very flakey. It will succeed in connecting every now and again, but then randomly drops the signal and won't reconnect. I thought maybe I just had a weak 3G signal where I was testing, but I have a BB Bold for work as well and that can easily maintain a 3G connection on the same network. I also had no problem way back in the day with CM7.2, but that ship has sailed .
Also, when the phone is in WCDMA preferred mode, after a while the phone will lose all connections (usually after a reboot but not always), including to GSM and when I go to reselect my network operator I get the message "Error while searching for networks". No matter how many times I reboot the phone or switch to "GSM Only" or "GSM/WCDMA auto" it never lets me again select my network provider.
As I said, I ran into the same problems with aero's port, so its not specific to this ROM.
* Situation are me after uproom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932573), spent two days lost wave, down to the original room (fullwipe finished down about 2.3.4). So lose the 3G network always in global mode (global), 3G users they will never be, but 2G ok (you spend vina sim and have installed APV vina). The physician who has experience helping hand factories. Thank a lot.

BTW, I don't understand this part.
I would suggest reading through the entire thread of Aeroevan's rom that you were describing as well as the Global CM9 thread. During your reading you may find and answer in there. I have found more answers that way than waiting on someone to direct me there anyway. That is all the advice I can provide with my limited knowledge.

I installed your room ( {Rom}{ICS} Official Global CM9), after 2 days my phone is not network. I reinstall the original room 2.3.4 but only use 2G when I used dataroaming; completely unusable 3G & network global mode always (I fullwipe data before reinstalling room 2.3.4 & APN properly installed).I then set your room again, but as I said above condition.Please help me how to be able to use 3G

Ok, I don't know if anyone else is having the same problem as you. I hope I don't offend you but I am going to take a guess and say that english is not your first language as some of that is difficult for me to read and completely understand. From what I am gathering is you can connect to your carriers network but only on a temporary basis. Here are the steps I followed to connect to Verizon's network using {10-25-2012}{Rom}{ICS} Official Global CM9 - After a full wipe and clean install and after initial setup I went to (doing this from memory as I don't have it installed at the moment) Settings --> More --> Mobile Networks --> chose CDMA w/EVDO --> Exit out of settings and rebooted. When the phone booted up it recognized the Verizon network and all service and data was all working, I didn't have to change the APN settings at all. If you are still having trouble staying connected I suggest you check the version of radio you are using and consider updating it. Here is the radio thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134451 I don't think I am the best person to assist you but just telling you what I would do if I were in your situation.
3G disconnect, only use 2G (GSM). Help me!

I have been having the same problem. Flashed CM10 after full wipe, mobile network (for verizon) is CDMA w/EVDO, tried rebooting and switching and wiping and re-flashing but I have no wifi and bad 3G. When I revert to stock everything is fine. How can I fine the latest radio for CM10, I didn't see any JB in the thread link.

[Q] Disconnected because service is unavailable

Guys I am using HTC One X and facing a very frustrating problem. My data connection disconnects after every 10-15 minutes. When I go to the settings option it says ""Disconnected because service is unavailable"".. If I tap it to make it switch off and then tap it again to turn it on, it keeps saying the same thing "Disconnected because service is unavailable". The only method to make the data connection work gain is to
a) Switch to airplane mode, and then switch it back again to normal mode, and data connection would connect
b) Change the network connection mode to WCDMA (as its not available in my region, network goes off) and then turn it back to GSM or WCDMA/GSM (and the network comes back again) and data connects automatically....
I am not the only one facing this problem.. Check out these links too.

Even if you go to google and type "HTC ONE X d" it will show the problem in suggestions too. My HTC One X is not rooted. Its running on JB and stock Sense ROM.
Can anyone help me out ??
1) I have checked other threads before creating this new thread because on other threads people are talking about rooting. I dont have a rooted and phone and I wont root it now.
2) I tried factory reset many times. It doesnt help.
3) I tried other SIM cards too. And face the same problem with other SIMs too.
4) I contacted my service provider too. APN are all correct. I dont face any problem with the same SIM and APN in my other handset (HTC Inc S)
That is very strange indeed.
Did you mess around with the kernels, as that seems to be, very often, messing with the radios.
If not then it might as well be factory error... I would recommend that you try flashing a custom rom like ARHD or if you are not on the WWE version, then you can download the newer WWE rom from the ARHD thread as well.
If that doesn't help, well then, you might wanna consider bringing it to a repair shop.

ok.. i installed a custom ROM (AOSP) and the problem disappeared. But i didnt liked the ROM so i came to Sense based ROM (ViperX) and the problem started again. So it seems that there is no problem with the phone itself. It shows this problem when running sense rom. Any help ??
Try ARHD
