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!!

out of interest, what ROM was it ?

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!

Strange issue with Wi-Fi on android

Hi all,
I know there are loads of wifi post on here and I have searched and tried all updates and whatnot.
Initially when I dual booted my kaiser to android it kept coming up with an error on the wifi and just wouldn't start. I have put the update on that is meant to fix it and it now starts the wifi, but it just wont search for my wifi!?
If I enter it manually it just comes up with "Not in range"
Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks,
Doomie

Thanks for that, just grabbed it, installed it and now it just sits scanning and still will not find any wi-fi.

change your kernel or radio version witch android version you use???

I have tried quite a few. The one I have just tried is "Scoot CyanogenMod 6.1.2 RLS6". All of them are doing exactly the same, its just making no sense.

Almost sounds like a bad radio install. I have had "0" problems with wifi using radio 1.70.19.09 OR 1.70.09.01.
Your results may vary as I've seen people using the 1.65 radio roms with no issues as well.
With dual-boot, I'm not too sure that WinMo isn't trying to control your wifi independently of Android. I have no experience in any dual-boot situations as I could never get Haret to work correctly, if at all.
I think I remember someone mentioning that you have to make sure the wifi is either on or off in WinMo before starting Haret. If someone has clarification on this, I'm sure the poster would appreciate feedback.

[Q] GPS

Hi boys, i'm in problems again... i think u can help, or maybe try, if u want, u know.
Well, i don't remeber when, but suddenly gps stop works for me, or if it works, very very very inexact, for example, precision about 1000m... or maps says "ur location is unaivable", i'd try sense 3.5 roms, sense 3.0 roms, cm7 roms, o2 roms, now i'm with miui and still have the problem.
My phone drops accidentaly a few times, and before that, i'd try aGPS fix... but i don't know what's the problem... well, anyone have idea?
thanks!!!
PS: now with MIUI, maps says "ur loc is unaivable" and every app that uses location loop at "getting loc"... doesn't work.

I have a similar problem, my GPS can't find any satelite. I'm using ICS 0.7 and tried with and without aGPS Fix. GPS Status doesn't do anything, it also doesn't find any satelite at all.

ohhh, and what do u think about this? anyone know about a fix or cause of this prob? i dont feel alone at all right nao... see ya

I had the same problem, GPS turns on but it can't find any satellites. I got it fixed under warranty. I think they changed the gps antenna cable, if I remember right. I was changing roms back and forth trying to figure out the cause, but it was a hardware problem.

You can try changing your radio version.

and do u unroot/unrecovery ur phone? ****, it seems like a real trouble
i think i'm gonna explode my phone and take new one from my comp, stock the phone again seems really really heavy

I just flashed the alpharev hboot downgrader, and then the stock 2.2 PB99IMG.zip found here from some sticky. All from recovery and that's it. I read that you should use the stock 2.3 image, so that you wouldn't lose your warranty, but my phone was unbranded, so I guess it didn't matter.

So I opened the phone today and dis- and reconnected the GPS antenna cable (the cable on the left). Didn't do anything though.

I'm using 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23

Installed Twisted 4.0.0, no wireless signal

Hello friends.
First off, I apologize for not posting directly on the ROM's thread but it seems xda has a policy against new users doing so. Second, I'm not a complete newb, but I'm not by any means an expert either, so forgive me if I'm missing something obvious.
I flashed Twisted AOSP v4.0.0 ROM (jb 4.1.1) on my GSM (maguro) GNEX as per instructions, and upon booting I got no wireless (cell) signal whatsoever (hollowed gray triangle).
Wifi signal was OK, so I could still browse & stuff. But no making our receiving calls.
Any suggestions or thoughts?
Best regards.

Are you on straight talk? Just put your apn info in again.
edit -- sorry i was thinking data. maybe try flashing another radio?

Interesting, I thought the ROM didn't touch the radio. But something messed with mine for sure. I've got "unknown" in my baseband field in options -> about.
I've tried flashing several others, with no effect. But if I go back to JB stock or other ROMs, I've got no problem.
I'm perplexed.

I'd make sure the the RIL matches after flashing...
there is a thread around here, but I cant find it right now.. you can also use this app to check and update if there is a mismatch...

I've learnt a lot. Until today I hadn't had the need to flash radio, and had never heard of a RIL.
Well it turns out the app lists my baseband as unknown too, so it can't recommend a RIL that matches. Still, I've tried a few different ones and nothing has happened.
Anything else I can try?

Radio issues with 4.2 Roms

Hi all, I am again posting about having radio issues. (NO T-Mobile signal) Any 4.2 Rom I try to install, I am unable to obtain phone service. (signal)
Here is what I did:
1. Start from scratch, total erased phone and sd card and micro card.
2. Odin flash stock Rom and Odin flash latest TWRP
3. Copy Rom to SD card and flash. (flash is fine)
4. No signal, flashed newest UVM6 radio, all kind of wipes.
My phone is SGH-T989 T-Mobile. I even changed the APN, but still only pick up AT&T which still having no signal bars. I tried flashing all radios available with no help at all. I am able to use certain 4.1.2 Roms such as Infamous 3. I even tried different kernels, different wipes and just can not get any T-Mobile signal service. I have tried searching for any and all radio issues for this phone. NOTHING works for me. Can anyone or does anyone have same problem that came up with a solution to get a signal for T-Mobile for these Roms? I am currently using the Infamous 3 Rom using Arc kernel. Actually the only other Rom I can use it the stock deodexed rooted base. Very frustrated not being able to use these great looking Roms, HELP please! Thanks for any information or solution. BTW, I have tried everthing and every type of wipe to no avail.

do you still have your IMEI or does it shows blank and unknown ??

I am having the same issue. It does show my imei # though. How do I fix this?

Oh boy.....again.
K....here is about everything. If none of this is your problem, since you say you've checked everything....and yes, I have read your other thread....in which you repeatedly say you tried everything, then you have a hardware issue, or are simply doing something wrong and telling us you did it right.
Not getting a signal.....
- not using latest T-Mobile or Telus radio. Maybe you flashed it, but is it actually showing as that radio in settings??
- APN settings are wrong or don't exist. Lets pause here. You said you checked apn and only pick up at&t. Or am I misreading that. If you don't have the correct T-Mobile apn settings, then you wont get a signal or data. Period. This has to be correct before bothering with anything else. You said you checked. Against what?? I've seen plenty of apn settings when Googling it, some simply don't work. Maybe they are old settings, wrong phone, whatever. I'm Telus, so can't help you with the settings for T-Mobile.
- what has already been posted above needs to be correct.
- maybe radio file you flashed was wrong one or corrupt. Perhaps try the Telus one. Should work too. Since T-Mobile radio works on Telus.
- restoring any system data after a flash? Huge no no.
- wrong mobile band selected?
- and a possibility .....simply no signal where you are. Or it's a weak signal, and your assuming it doesn't work?? Ignore this if you have a very strong signal usually where you live. 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 shouldn't affect signal much if any.
Anyway.....that's about all there is to it if you are CLEAN flashing roms and following instructions to the letter. I am confident you will say all the above is good....and if so....I am afraid you will probably find no answers like your other thread. Meaning you have an extremely rare issue. Or a wierd hardware issue, sim card maybe....tho before you dismissed that as a cause. Another possibility is that you aren't correct when you say apn is fine, or the radio you flashed is fine. Not accusing you of misleading anyone, just saying perhaps you are innocently wrong when you tell us this or that is fine when it is not.. I've done tech support.....happens all the time! !!
So, good luck. Hope you find a solution ......tho this is your second thread on same issue....so you may have some rare issue....and may be boned.

He's got something wrong for sure. Or he's got a strange phone that won't work with 4.2. And I doubt that very much.
He's got wrong radio, or wrong or missing APN settings.

Thanks for helping and I think your right about being boned or hardware issue. I have tried different downloads of radios, both Telius and Tmobile and copied APN settings from working stock Rom. Maybe bad Sim, anyway I will have to stay with what I have until I get new phone, which is soon. Thanks again!

Stumbled across this. I've never heard of this particular issue before, but sure sounds the same as your issue. Try this fix if you haven't already.
Everything below is copied from another thread......
i had this problem with slim too. i thought something went wrong with my phone or my area. but nope. what you need to do is go to mikeyman777 cm10.1 thread and find the uvmc6 tar file, then use odin to flash it. apparently just flashing the newest radio with twrp isn't enough because it's missing some files or something like that lol.
anyways i haven't had signal problems since flashing radio tar file. i've lost signal like once. before i was losing it everyday. hope this helps.
