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
Eh... I would try reinstalling a stock rooted rom.

Is it factory unlocked? Have you used an unlock code? Have you tried the full radio s off, super Cid thing?

I wonder if your SIM card is faulty, needs cleaning, or is just a bit loose in the socket.

This is what it sounds most like to me. Also try to install another rom since you have it rooted now and see if that fixes the issue. Make sure you do a Nandroid backup first though!

I never put an unlock code and I'm still on tmobile. I called them and so far I haven't had trouble with signal as much but my number doesn't show up under status in about phone settings...it just says unknown. Its only on this phone though, my n1 shows my number with this sim.

Just so we're clear.. Did this phone/sim combo work OK before your rooted the phone?

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
Thx

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...

Nevermind, my other problem was just resolved after reading a post in the cm6.1.1 thread. Settings-call settings-additional settings-my phone number.

First of all, I apologyze for my english, just want you to sit and read carefully..
I'm from Panama, and I just bought a HTC Incredible 2 from Verizon Wireless on eBay, it came unlocked for any gsm network.
I used it for a couple month on Movistar with a GSM chip, it wasn't able to conect on 3G network, only 2g but it's enough for me, beacuse I use WiFi conection everyday.
Today I decided to install a custom rom, I had some trouble installing the roms because I don't know much about that, It is already rooted by revolution tools
I tried miui once and cyanogenmod 7 Nightly, Kernel v2.6.35.14 its the current rom I'm using, but the phone it's unable to conecto or even find a GSM network!!!
It's on Global Mode (that's the option I always used before) and Data capability On, now I can't do anything without network!
I have typed *#*#4636#*#* and did the steps I found on another thread and nothing worked!
I really need your help! I read something about the 'RADIO', I'm not sure about that.
You need to find the apn settings for your provider and enter it in at your mobile settings. Not sure who your provider is so i dont know your apn settings, try google.
jics91, some ROM's don't support both gsm and cdma which is what Verizon wireless uses. One ROM that supports gsm and cdma is SkyRaider Zeus 1.3. You may want to give that a shot. Google it. It's a popular ROM that is very stable and it includes GSM.
You should be setting GSM / UMTS Mode in your settings. If you are able to make calls and just can't get data then you need to set your APN. Are you using Movistar? If so, Movistar uses the following information.
APN: internet.movistar.pa
Username: movistarpa
Password:moveistarpa
APN Type: default
The rest of the options leave default.

Cool. I am glad you got it to work. I am replying to you using movistar. Just landed in David, Chiriqui yesterday. Radios and kernels are for better battery life and signal. You probably don't need a better radio. But you should try a different kernel than the stock one. You will get better battery life and can have more control over it. But be careful, some kernels don't work well with certain roms. So do some research before loading it.

so, I'm acttualy using the SkyRaider Rom, it works just fine so far! I'd like to try a kernel, the battery drain is not regular at all, when I unplug the phone, it goes from 100 to 98 or 95!

Hello,
Please let me know if your able to use GSM sim now? i too installed SkyRaider Zeus and have same issue with my HTC Driod Incredible 2.

Hi all,
I have a Wildfire S (GSM, Europe) with SIM from one of the Serbian carriers, Telenor Serbia. Phone is rooted (unlocked, S-ON), and my favourite pastime in the last several weeks is trying out all possible ROMs I can put my fingers on. At the moment I'm using Cyanogen 9 alpha (9.1.0-cryptomilk) and I'm very satisfied, camera recording doesn't work, but I hardly ever used it and everything else does work so I'm fine I guess.
Last night, I've tried AOKP ROM from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985437
After flashing, radio stopped working, no signal from carrier. I thought, bad rom, whatever, and did nandroid restore to my Cyanogen 9. Radio remained dead.
System settings -> About Phone -> Status shows network as disconnected and unknown, but IMEI and phone number are visible.
I've removed this SIM from phone and tried using another SIM, same carrier, and it worked perfectly. Also tried putting original SIM in other phone, same carrier, and same thing happened with other phone (some ancient Nokia), radio dead, SIM info readable.
Guess this isn't a radio problem since other SIM card worked well with it (and phone was S-ON all the time, not sure, but I'm guessing that this should prevent manual radio updates, please correct me if I'm wrong). SIM doesn't work in other phones, so my guess is that I've somehow managed to fry it during AOKP ROM flashing or first run. Is this possible at all?
All clues I've seen so far mentioned formatting some SIM internals using some raw Android block devices, reading on...
Please help
SIM replaced for free by carrier, but I'm curious how this happened...

im on o2/giffgaff but if i put any other sim (iv tried voda-orange-tmobile) i get emergency calls only but put a 3 sim in and it works
its rooted i used the galxsim from play store to unlock it
checkout the pics can someone plz explain why an unlocked phone wont work with other sims ?
Remove your IMEI number from public eye.
As for the problem call network operators to say why isnt working on their network.

EDIT: done it
Try another phone or sim card.
this is XXXDDDAAA
iv tried countless sims mine is giffgaff that wont work along with every other sim i try but my giffgaff sim works in other phones ? cant understand why
iv been told that if i flash a different bootloader that would unlock it can someone plz confirm this for me plz tia
anybody got any idea plz iv tried everything
Hi terry1256
I'd suggest flashing a new rom as most non stock roms are unlocked. Or search xda for info on unlocking your phone and follow it. Just be patient and stay calm and you'll get it sorted mate.

Hi
My phone was working awesome, no bugs, no lags, good camera ... , but it started to act pretty weird about a month ago.
the problem is that network signal got weak. and by weak, i mean 90%of the time i have no signal!!!
it wasn't unlocked, rooted, s-off... nothing! fully stock!
factory reset didn't help, upgrade to lollypop made no change! i tried sim cards from different network operators, and non had signals!
i mean i had full signal bars at my work, but now, i have to search around for a place with 1 bar to put my phone on, and not move it!
do you think it's hardware related, or software?
i thought maybe, radio partition has a problem or something, so i searched for it, or an RUU to extract it from. but i had no luck.
u guys are my only hope. any help or idea is very appreciated.
hmmmmm, no one else having this issue?
no one has any idea?
no help?
this isn't how xda used to be.
it isn't how xda worked.
people would say anything on their mind, even 1% related, so maybe the problem can be fixed.
missing hd2 days. RIP xda!
Aw man don't be like that.
Did you drop your phone or something? Because it looks like a hardware issue to me.
I'd take it to service if I were you, cause I'm sure it's still under warranty. But if it's not, let's try to find a solution.

wow, an answer!
thanks bro.
no I didn't drop the phone.
the weird part is that my phone didn't lost GSM network connectivity completely, it's weak!!!! very weak!!!!!
I bought my phone from china and shipped it here, so I don't have warranty here. also it's a waterproof phone, and i'm not sure if it will be waterproof after being torn apart!!!!
I can not find any ruu for this device. :crying::crying:
I think the problem can be the radio driver.
You could try to S-Off so you could use any RUU. What CID are you? Maybe we could figure something out.

i cant s-off, because i'm in iran
my cid is HTC__621 (TW)
I really appreciate your help pal.
here are some screenshots about my issue!!!
as you can see in the first picture, i am connected to my network operator (irancell)
and when i search manually for network operators, this is what i see: (notice the star in front of my network operator)
now i move about a meter and no more signal, so i search for network manually again, this is the result:
as you can see, star is gone!!
and when i select my network:
what is going on? any idea?
May be a dumb question, but have you checked with different phones? Different Irancell SIM cards? Your SIM in another device? I mean, are you 100% sure it's your phone and not a problem with Irancell coverage? There could be a problem with one of their antennas causing you to have bad reception.

every suggestion and ideas are helpful for me.
about your idea, it was almost the first thing that came into my mind. so i checked different sim cards, from different network operators, the result was the same. i also used my sim in other phones, but it had no problem.
so i'm sure it's not irancell related. another important thing, is that my phone didn't have this problem from the beginning. after about 2.5 month, out of nowhere, it started loosing network connection!!!!!!
as you can see in the screenshots, my phone finds irancell with no problem, but wont connect!!! i thought maybe its radio driver/rom/partition.
so i searched for radio, to install it again, but i couldn't find it anywhere! :crying::crying:

hey pal
thanks for your opinion.
i cant do what u said because of 2 problems:
1. cant s-off the phone
2. couldn't find ANY ruu file for desire eye. none. not available.
Found one for AT&T!!
also i think EU is available too.
the only remaining problem is s-off.
(my friend has a nexus 5, and his phone wont connect to 3g, and he says its because of a physical damage. can my problem be physical too?)
My new htc desire eye won't toggle between 3G and 4g when avail
My network has forced my new htc desire eye to only select 3G as it was getting little or no coverage even in the city with 4g and was not auto changing down to 3G. Not sure if the phone has an inherent problem. According to my carrier it should be changing from 3G to 4G or vice versa auto depending on signal. So besides the fact it's not auto changing networks, it also seems I've bought a 4G phone that can't access 4G.
Any ideas? Should I turn it? Besides that it seems to work okay. I'm not an avid phone internet user though. TIA. . . . . S

Are you srue you can actually use 4G? Some providers charge extra for it.
Otherwise, make sure your network mode is actually set to "2G/3G/4G AUto". You can select it if you go to setttings -> Mobile Data (or wahtever it's called in English) -> Network Mode
Also, where you are, does a different phone with the same carrier (ask a friend?) have 4G?
