No Service - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a G2 rooted with cyanogen mod 6.1.1 and today randomly I started receiving No Service and now wherever I go I get No Service. Drove over 20 miles today and no service the whole way thru. I also reflashed the rom and everything still getting No Service.
Why is this happening?

Did You call t-mobile?
G2 CM6.1.1 (free)

Why would I do that? It's rooted

Maybe your apn settings got erased or changed, did you check to see if they are the right settings for Tmobile data. Also checking with Tmobile to make sure your data plan is still active and hasn't been turned off for some reason, you don't need to tell them you rooted your phone.

Ok dumb question but I have to ask, are you sure you don't have airplane mode on? If not then I would call Tmobile and just verify your account is ok and active. Start the process of elimination.

Haha it's cool airplane mode is off and was off. I called T-Mobile everything is okay with my account they want to do a Master Reset. I'm guessing I need to unroot my phone first?

I would try under setting/privacy/factory data reset first, if that doesn't help then try flashing a diffrent rom, like maybe Enoms or stock+rooted before you resort to unrooting.

Did you try re-seating the sim card? Pull it out and then stick it back in again....maybe its a little loose.

If you can establish a wifi connection, go to the market and download a program called phone info by [email protected] Make sure you get the correct one since there are several with the same name. Install that and see if that helps you to get more information about your problem. It also enables you to change some of your phone's settings.

Okay I'll try that shortly, but I just removed root and restored the original rom and I still don't have signal.
Edit: So hours after talking to T-Mobile I found out that it's just that my sim is so old that it burned out.

Okay now that I replaced the sim card still nothing. And the new sim works in another phone. I unrooted and got a new sim card, so I have no idea what to do now.

Basically, I'm not getting any data at all.(on mobile network)
Originally, the issue started with error no.1012 when I tried updating my profile/prl. I researched on the issue and read that it means that the network was not communicating to my device properly. The problem with that, my data was working.
I called tech support because from my readings, a few things on Sprints side needed to changed. Well after that, tech support could not do anything but recommend that I take it into the store and have my device wire provisioned. So...I took it in and explained what I was going through. The tech said he was able to tell that it was rooted and that the other tech would not touch it if he knew that it was rooted. He said if I unrooted, that they would gladly fix the issue. I asked if he knew what the wait was. He went to the back with my phone and came back and said it would be an hour from when I unroot. I took my phone and to my surprise, was actually on a 4G network. Cool, but when I switched back to 3g, it will no longer work. I'm getting error 1012.
Taking the phone in for a replacement wouldn't be so bad, but I'm afraid that I will not be able to root the new phone.
So can anybody please help fix my issue so that I may keep the phone.that has my virtual heart. Thanks guys, if you can help, it means a lot.

If you are having these issues, first nandroid. Then completely backup everything with Titanium.
Then data wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik-cache, re-flash radios and ROM.
Then if you still have problems, let Sprint replace it. It's no biggie to root a new phone.

OK so you need to keep calling tech support track who you speak to. Never speak twice to a techie unless they provide help. Never accept answers as final. Start asking questions on plan termination.
Find a better sprint store go at opening time, not lunch. Allow the techie to have time to access your phone, ie let other customers go first.
You know this though. So if you can't get in to the sprint network for data, then ask for supervisors while on with tech support. Insist it's THEIR problem. Hell put your ten dollars a month to work.

it deals with the password the phone uses and it's failing to login and has a reset timer, the techs can't reset the sprint network internal timer for when the password fails and you get locked out, waiting 24hrs lets is timeout and an immediate profile update syncs your phone with the correct login/password
Have you tried re-activating it? Dial ##3272# -> Edit Mode -> Enter MSL -> Data Profile -> Menu -> Restore
It should reboot and reactivate when it boots back up, let it update everything but firmware.

[Q] Why am I not getting signal at all...anywhere?

I just got a G2. perm rooted it. and everytime upon booting up it has signal for 1 second then literally just disappears and never comes back. can't choose mobile network or anything because it can't search for it. tried doing *#*#infor#*#* and it says GSM ONLY and everytime i try to change it to WCDMA PREFERRED it keeps reverting back as soon as i exit. the only way i've been able to get signal back so far is to connect to wifi and enable wifi calling, then after disconnecting i'm able to get signal and i'm able to check the WCDMA PREFERRED option but awhile ago i was on wifi calling then left my house and it was disconnected but wasn't able to get signal again.
can anyone help me with what i should do because although i might be able to get it back through wifi calling, this will be very problematic whenever i'm not near my normal wifi locations...
thanks for the help

No it wasn't. For the past couple of days since calling tmobile, its been significantly better but today I did randomly have that same problem of no connection, but mostly right now my problem is my g2 not being able to read my phone number in "status" under "about phone" settings but it does on my n1. When I called tmobile they tried sending my number ota 3 times with no luck...

During the first 30 days you can go to a TMO store and get a new phone, pretty much "no questions asked". I'd go ahead and do that if I was you. Oh, go to a corporate store though, not a mall kiosk.
While you're there, get a new SIM, too. All free of charge.
If you still have the same problem after that, I'd try an exorcist
Is this problem solved now ? I got the same problem but have no chance to return it back.
If there is the way to solve it, could you please inform and share

My signal problems seemed to be resolved, at least for the past week. It was resolved by calling tmobile customer support and they did some tests. However, my phone not recognizing my phone number under settings> about phone> status, is still a problem. Even tried getting a new sim and still didn't solve the problem. Did numerous OTAs with tmobile that didn't work. My number still shows up on caller id and stuff its just that menu thing. Sounds insignificant but some apps use that to determine your phone number. Also, when putting my sim back into my nexus one, it does show my number...

easy test
if you still have any old phone in the house, or borrow a phone from a friend/co worker for a few minutes
just to swap the SIM card and try, then you can quickly figure out if it's an issue with the phone or the SIM
SIM unlocking a phone will not cause the network problem, unless the IMEI is black listed
is the phone able to find any network?
also you can use Odin to flash back to factory stock

i called tmobile and they didnt say anything,,,,
Go in to network settings and check network operators. If your phone sees T-Mobile/ATT but you cant connect then that means your phone was blacklisted for either being lost or stolen.

when i type 'search now' it doesn't find ANYTHING.
it stays on 'searching' for a while', doesn't select anything
then it comes back showing tmobile and att.
when i select tmobile (or att) it says, "your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
If the phone was blacklisted, why would tmobile not say anything to me (and why would it only stop working now?)

change the APN settings. there are a few out there that will work but to keep it simple..
go to:

press the menu button and go to New APN
for the name put "ATT" and for APN type "phone"
leave everything else blank

I now believe that this is probably related to the same bug that is causing people to lose their ISDN and have the same loss of radio connection.

Hello. FWIW: Not quite the same problem, but the fix for me might work for you by chance.
When I got my unlock code from T-Mobile then applied it, my phone did register with the T-Mobile network, but it could not receive phone calls.
Using her phone, my girlfriend was kind enough to help me test various scenarios: phone calls in, out; sms in, out; GSM or Wi-Fi; etc. We narrowed it down to no calls in on GSM at least.
Like you I tried rebooting, but I did not get as far as re-flashing, etc. What I did try on a hunch was clearing all user and system apps' cache with Titanium Backup. Voilà! It worked.
I hope that helps you with your phone (assuming you use Titanium Backup.)

As far as I know and someone else has already posted this... You can do a factory reset to bring the os back to a "out of box" state. But this in no way will effect, change or the dialer or radios. Those settings are set by the carriers.

Again, this is your original post. In it you clearly state that you "guess" you did the "##DATA# dialer code and" messed something with out my knowledge".
After rereading your original post again I'm thinking it really should have read this way...
"I went into ##DATA# and messed with some of the settings and didn't really know what I was changing." See the difference???
Those setting in "##DATA# or set by the carriers... They are there to tell the radios on your device how to communicate with and what frequency to use for the towers your cellular providers uses.
I'm going to assume that when you got your ET4G you had to contact your cellular provider to get it setup to use their service, right???
Questions:
1. If not how did you get it setup to see their towers???
2. Did they (provider) give you some kind of codes to enter in the ##DATA# settings???
3. If they did, do you still have them and have you tried that???
I've said this before... I really think you need to contact your provider and see if maybe they can re provision your radios.

nope, I had set the msl to 000000
3. If they did, do you still have them and have you tried that???
They are not aware of such a thing also.
I've said this before... I really think you need to contact your provider and see if maybe they can re provision your radios.
I tired they don't understand "reprovision radios"

As you were saying about the out of box state? Could you elaborate a bit more on that. I just need to reset the data settings of the phone to the state in which the phone had come. In the sense as in out of box.
Answers are in bold.
Thanx for your help

The reset I mentioned is a "factory reset" ... But like I already posted... It will only delete all of your user data and reset settings like wifi, email passwords...
It won't reset the radios...
If you had already flashed these files to get your phone working when you got it, Don't you still have them???

>Then enter msl

>click on India mode, press okay.
>reboot

Hmmm,all right

Trouble making calls

Hi. I just upgraded my phone and my wife's phone to official T-mobile 4.3. I rooted my phone using No Tripping Flash counter image. Everything works fine until phone looses the signal and after that I need to reboot phone to make calls, if I don't reboot it just ending calls immediately after I dial. My wife is having same issue with her phone. Anybody know how to resolve this issue?

What is your Current Baseband ? Can you try after factory reset ?
I am ok with doing factory reset on my phone since it is rooted and I have Titanium Back up but my wife won't agree to it.
See if after Factory Reset AND without restoring Titanium, are you able to make calls just fine ? If yes we'll find ways for your wife.
EDIT - Try My Backup Pro for your wife in the absence of Root.

Does it match to what you have on the label behind the battery ?

It is same IMEI behind battery and in the settings. I think problem is phone loosing the signal and can't automatically find it. Sometimes instead of restarting it I put my phone in airplane mode and take it off so I push it to find signal.

What was the result afterwards ? If it still continues, please raise a Warranty issue with T-Mo.
I'm getting same issue once in awhile. Doesn't happen all the time

It doesn't happen to me all the time but when it does it is annoying.
Just to add to this, I am getting this randomly as well, and I am bone stock. I thought it was something to do with my new car since I use Bluetooth all the time now, but every now and then, I go to make a call, and it just ends the call immediately. The only resolution is to reboot the phone.

Try the custom Rom before going to Warranty.

It probably is related to Bluetooth given the 2 antenna are so close. But it could be the new 4.3 Stock Rom too. After Reboot do you consistently get good signal till you use Bluetooth ?

Nope, phone is perfectly fine otherwise. I decided to see what T-Mobile support would suggest. They first wanted me to try and clear data/cache on just the Dialer app, however those options weren't available, so she took me to stock recovery and performed a cache wipe. Since the problem is sporadic, there is little else to do except to wait and see if the problem returns. They claimed this is a memory problem in the dialer app though, so I am not sure if that was a s.w.a.g. (sophisticated wild ass guess), or if it has been reported enough times for T-Mobile to actually seek out information from Samsung.
