I haven't been able to find a solution to this yet. I rooted my phone last night and after that, I lost my signal. All I get in the top corner is the circle with the line through it in place of the signal bars. I've tried everything I can think of. I've re-downloaded the files and re-flashed my phone twice. I've even unrooted my phone and put the stock rom back on there and still nothing. I'm kind of at a loss right now and could use some advice on how to fix this. So if anyone knows a solution to this I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advanced for your help.
You are on Sprint, correct?
If you're on stock try ##72786# in the dialer

I am having this same issue...sadly
I've never had this happen with any of my other devices. Will I have to unroot back to stock, or can I use a stock rooted ROM? Because after dialing ##72786# in the dialer, it rebooted, and now says "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" every two seconds...and still no service.
I'm worried, but am confident someone should be able to help me out on xda. I'm so impressed at all of the work that takes place on here. I wish I had the time to be able to learn how help others like myself in situations like this. :highfive:
Thanks to whoever can help.

Just flash stock recovery, when done with service menu, flash CWM. Have to have stock recovery temporarily just for service menu.

Ugh! It didn't work. The com.android.phone has stopped error kept popping up and interrupting the service menu. So, I turned on airplane mode to stop error message...able to run service menu...but when it rebooted there still was no service...
This sucks...

It appears to be a complete network failure...
I did a factory reset, then tried the service menu again. Rebooted to the same issue...UGH!!

Out of curiosity what happens when you do *#06# in the dialer? U still get a imei? Phone for closing is intriqing. Make a nadroid, wipe data/factory reset and format /system as well then reflash ur rom. If ur good after that advance restore the /data from ur nandroid
Yes, I do still have the MEID.

My device is more messed up than I thought...this service menu in the dialer hasn't fixed my issue. Do you have any other ideas?

hmmm guessing you've done factory reset as well... if you've tried everything in this thread i suggest resetting your flash counter, returing completly to stock(unrooting and installing stock recovery) and then bringing it to sprint and say you cant get service... good luck
Yup if u odind stock and did the ##72786# u might have an issue. Take it back

Hey...I found out why I didn't have service and was able to fix it. When I had flashed AOKP, there is a setting in the Mobile Networks screen to change the CDMA subscription to RUIM/SIM. Somehow (probably playing around) I changed it from the NV to RUIM/SIM. THEN, I nandroided back to stock, and had no service. As far as I know, that CDMA Subscription option isn't on the STOCK ROM...so I was baffled. Good thing I remembered what I did.
Thanks for all of your help.
Can anyone direct me to a link to alleviate an issue with only getting 1x data with AOKP? I can't seem to find a fix for it yet...I think I might not even have data actually...

i flashed the .000001 prl and i lost service using dfs tool. i saved my original but i guess there was an error while saving. I was trying to revert back to original so i flashed the stock rom again and it didnt do anything i figured it has nothing to do with the rom. could someone help.
p.s i tried flashing different prls and when i go to about phone and status it still says 1

i reverted to stock rom and ran the prl updater and its still not working.
Download a new prl (25006) and rename it to TEST.prl and place it on the root of your sd card. Then go into dialer (be on a touchwiz rom) and dial ##3282#, go to view, then prl write. It'll load the test.prl and reboot. Should be fixed then.

Flash the attached one and it will get u back on sprint. update the prl in the settings once ur done flashing my attached one.
00001 is a hacked verizon one which is why you cant use the menu to update. If ur going to use a hacked one use 01337 it works best. 00001 is outdated. the ##3282# method only seems to work when it wants to i dont reccomend it especially for these hacked prls it doesn't seem to like them
thank you for the replies trying it now
i tried both options and neither of them worked its still saying PRL version 1 in the phone status

Just for the record I was having the hardest time getting this method to work at all not realizing the the prl's I had downloaded had to be extracted first maybe its a nood mistake but never the less havent had a problem sense and also data has to be off for this to work or at least it did for me. Hope this helps

It'll fail because his prl is Verizon only.

put the options under mobile network to cdma then write your prl or try cdma/lte then try to write it again that could do it another option is to use hidden menu app then choose efs sync i cant remember where it is exactly another way is to do ##786# hit reset then enter your msl
Ok, I will start from the beginning of this debauchery.
I recently moved to a new state (Tennessee to be exact). I had 4 bars, and had great phone reception. Incoming and outgoing calls with absolutely no problems, but the web wouldn't load at all.
I am about 1 hour away from another time-zone and my phone kept changing its time, which caused my alarm to not go off and I have been late for work 4 times in the past 2 weeks because of this. This was the main reason I updated my PRL, as I thought it might fix this issue.
So, after updating it, I now have absolutely no signal. I might get a smidge of signal after walking around the house for 10 minutes, only to receive texts and maybe a voicemail if I am lucky. (I would call Boost, but I have no phone to use since this happened)
I am a total noob when it comes to android, this is my first android so please explain like I am five years old.
The phone is rooted, but only because I found a pretty easy to follow step-by-step guide.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you for your time.

Sorry for the late reply, I have been pretty busy with the move.
My phone is Fi22, and I am using this kernel-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767421
and I don't remember installing any custom ROM (Mainly because I couldn't find any that interested me that were compatible)
I do have a recovery (clockworkmod) but the last backup is to basically factory settings. And I don't want to do that unless absolutely necessary, and I have a feeling it might not fix the issue even if I do this.
I called Boost from work, and sat on the phone for 2 hours. They had me do ##72786#. Then they told me to drive around my house until I found a spot with full bars and then update the PRL and profile and it would "drag" the signal to my house.
So I did this, and the closest place was about a mile and a half to two miles out.
Sadly, this didn't fix it.
I am still about 3 months away from my deductible on the insurance that I pay, so breaking the phone and getting a new free one is not possible.

OK..from the link you gave..( a kernel update page )..I'm assuming you are on stock touch wiz with a custom kernel and cwm/agats recovery..good. Now I believe from what I read the kernel is based on modem fi27.That is a pretty new modem, the newest for ICS is fl24.. If I was you I would grab the fi27 and fl24 modems from rwilcos repository ( in zip format ) and flash one or the other, update you're PRL and profile and see which gives the best signal..This is not a direct science, you may have to try many different modems to find what works best in this new area..just be sure they are ICS modems..or you will not have data..If you need advice on how to flash a modem you can hit me back up..But its simple and there are a ton of guides around,as well as a guide in rwilcos repository page. Here is a link to the repo.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764210 ...just scroll down to ICS modems (zip) and click on it..It will take you to a page with the downloads....Hope this was helpful.

After flashing to Fi27, FL24, Fi25, Fi03, and FH23 nothing has changed (Fi25 and FH23 wouldn't even boot). I even tried clearing the data and updating PRL/profile.
Sadly, I am stuck with 1 bar in a 1'x1' area in my home.

Well..you didn't need to clear the data..Just clear cache and dalvik cache( under advanced ). Then reboot and update prl and profile.. This order for each modem you flash. But if you did this and still no service I'm afraid it is probably a location problem. You might look into putting a custom prl in..this will allow you to roam on different carriers. I have never tried it as I have good service in the windy city.But there are quite a few threads about it..seems always sprint people doing it. By the way..if you're on boost..I thought I seen that you are... You could try a boost modem..not sure how it would mesh with custom kernel..couldn't hurt though to try. Let me know. I'll dig around and see if I can come up with anything else.

I would think it would work for our boost phones since we really are sprint customers.. http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=231596 ...also check to see what you're roaming settings are set for in your phone.

I just re-read you're op to see if I missed any info..I see that the web wouldn't load ..you know it might be that kernel...if I was you I would flash a stock kernel with Mobil Odin lite ( apk in xda somewhere, just search it ) You need the kernel to be in TAR Format for mobile Odin...Make sure its for boost and not sprint.. I believe this is where we messed up. You see. When you flashed that kernel before it was fine, but when you did the update it gave you a sprint prl. Now you have a sprint prl on stock boost ROM and a custom kernel built for a stock sprint ROM..See where I'm going with this.. Actually..if I was you I would down load a touch wiz ROM from the android development thread..make sure its ICS because you're not set up yet for jb..the blue Kuban ICS is awesome..follow the op in that thread to flash..I use Mobil Odin and the direct boot el29 kernel to flash Roms. If you want to go this route hit me back and I will post a step by step guide for you..
---------- Post added at 03:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 AM ----------
. THIS IS FOR THE BLUE KUBAN ICS FL24
step one - download ROM , format all x 2 , fl24 modem , direct boot el29 kernel ..... Place on internel storage/root of sdcard
two. - install mobile Odin( lite or paid version ) lite version can be found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
three. - use mobile Odin to flash direct boot kernel. It will boot to recovery on its own.
four. - push volume up , volume down , volume up ....this will enable the power button to select you're choices.
five. - wipe data , wipe cache , wipe dalvik cache
six. - flash format all x 2 zip
seven. - flash ROM..reboot..( el29 will not flash modems ) so flash it before hand or after the Kuban boots up..
.... You will need to flash a MMS fix zip for boost to get you MMS working after this or go into apn 's and change them manually..I can tell you how if you decide on this route..

I'm sorry...yes it is a gingerbread kernel..We couldn't flash from ICS back in the day, unless its a safe version like what you have now.. The emmc brick bug will brick you're device..So they made the el29 and el26 kernels for flashing. Most new kernels for ICS are safe now,unless specified in that kernels thread. And like I said..flash the modem now because el 29 will not flash modems. Let the ROM boot and chill for awhile before you flash anything else(if you decide too)..you can update you're prl as soon as the ROM boots.. If this doesn't get you home I'm afraid a custom prl is the next step..Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.. Let me know how it goes..

I went ahead and did everything that you said, and sadly it hasn't changed a thing.
I'm currently on PRL version 31104, which I believe is the most recent but I cant find any lists or information regarding boost PRL.

Can't find the zip..must be on home computer..I'm at work..,but
You can use the msl way, which involves a terminal emulator and the dialer code ##data# or you can use an APN shortcut app from play store or even Nova launcher.I use nova launcher because its the launcher I use anyway.. Long press the screen and pick shortcuts then activities. Scroll to settings any pick it. Then scroll down to APN..pick it. Back at home screen pick new shortcut..when APN screen pops up hit menu and pick add new APN. Then put in what I have in screen shots..save APN pick the circle beside new APN so its lit up and exit.send one to you're self to jump start it and make sure its working..Let me know if you have trouble.. I'm about to leave work and can give you a better guide in an hour,if you can't find anything else online..might need to do a reboot for it to work.

Well, this didn't seem to work. But I'll try and find another guide online.
As a token of my appreciation, I have made this signature for you.
Thanks for all of the help :]
Let me know what size you are stretching it to and I'll fix it so it doesn't lose the quality.

Hey man...Thanks for the SIG.. I put it up,with a little side note to you for making it.. If you can't find a MMS fix let me know and I'll walk you through it..shouldn't be more than just changing you're mmsc url.. But this phone can have gremlin's sometimes....

OK I'm home..let's fix you're MMS..The zip I have is for asop roms, so nogo there and some ROMs won't let you edit apns in list..So I believe this is the way to go...First you need you're msl number..you can get it by typing '' su '' into a terminal emulator,no quotations. Then hit enter. Next type '' getprop ril.MSL '' just how it looks, no quotations. This should give you a 6 digit number. If it doesn't you can go the dialer and type ##data# then click edit and enter any 6 digit number. It will give you an error. This is OK. Now go back to terminal emulator and repeat above steps. If none of this works..call boost. They will eventually give it to you. After you get the msl..go back to you're dialer and put the code back in(##data#). Click edit and enter msl. Then scroll down and click on others. Then click mmsc url and click on the url.. Then edit it '' http://myboostmobile.com '' hit OK..and exit this screen. Now send one to yourself..should work..

Reboot you're phone..also remember that this phone uses mobile data to send MMS..so with you're weak signal it might take awhile..you could use you're WiFi just to see if its working. And I think you will need to go into you're APN settings and pick the circle on the right of listed APN.It will probably say sprint but that doesn't matter. Then reboot..Sorry man, my brain is not working today. I should have told you that earlier.

I actually did that, but what fixed this for me was that in the paragraph you wrote "http://myboostmobile.com" (which I used). In the picture, yours said "http://mm.myboostmobile.com" and switching to that seemed to fix it after I rebooted again. Ok, so atleast im back to square one now lol.
But I do have this nice rom now, and Nova is awesome.
Hello, well here i have been searching for over a year and reading the forums as well and getting more and more frustrated and need a straight forward answer from some one.
Issue 1 i would like to have a custom rom on my phone BUT and a big but it is, that the signal not be reduced in Any way i would not even settle for 1/2 db loss. from what i have been reading the biggest problem is screwing with roms that change the modem file. (am i right?) basicly what i would like is to have a stock android rom (vanilla) like cleanrom, but have my phone signal absolutely equal to my stock, of course if it got better which i don't expect it to, i wouldn't object to that.
Issue 2 How can i back up my current modem on my phone, i have yet to find any info how to do this step by step, or even find a true stock modem file from telus.
Issue 3 Is there a way that if i screw everything up and get no signal or less signal, a way to truly back up the entire phone so i could revert back to the way i am now 100%? ( an example would be if i had a computer and had made a image and burnt it to a cd if i screwed up the computer i would just reload the image and i would be back with every little crum of data from when i made the image). From what i have been reading it seems like most all backup of the current state of a phone don't include 100% everything, am i right or wrong?
Issue 4 Is there any true stock android (vanilla) rom out there ie. not something that someone other than google has made?
Anyway, accept my appreciation in advance for your help, maby i am just stuck with the stock telus offering but i am hoping for some enlightenment.
Oh and one more thing before i go one of the main things about stock that is really ticking me off is outgoing or incoming mms messages that are just pictures show up as a slide show, from what i have read feature.xml has a setting that i can add to fix this BUT i don't have feature.xml on my phone, do i have to download it somewhere and if so i have seached high and low for it and nothing plus is there a specifically formatted feature.xml for telus I317M?
Once again thanks in advance!
There are numerous custom ROMS that do not touch or include a MODEM, so there is nothing to mess-up as it relates to your signal strength. Your only concern needs to be selecting the correct kernel and ensuring you have your EFS partition (containing your IMEI) backed up.

Using ClockWorkMode to create a NANDroid backup and (if needed) restore using a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM is the process you are asking about. THis will fix a soft-brick.
A hard brick...is another story.

Vanilla, would be something like the "plain/boring" interface that comes with the Nexus4. This would NOT have TouchWiz. Your S-Pen will no longer work as there are no drivers for it in the Vanilla interface. It was Samsung that wrote the drivers for the S-Pen and implemented the functionality for S-note and the gestures. Also, the integrated Wacom screen would be useless in the Vanilla interface until someone adds something to the Vanilla configuration that Google deployed (didn't you say you only wanted Google's version?).

I believe your i317M has it too. Most of the good stuff is tied into your CSC anyway, so it's not worth the effort to mess with that. I'd spend the time to play around with the build.prop instead.

Your easiest option is to simply root your Stock ROM and debloat the carrier bloatware. If anything goes wrong, you can always use ODIN to flash the stock firmware (and not lose anything in the process).

I use Telus Note 2 so I'll answer your questions based on my experience.
1) I don't notice signal differences. I've used stock roms, modded touchwiz roms, vanilla android, and I don't notice a signal difference. That being said, I don't check my signal because it's not as important as you finding it important. I don't think an issue at all.
2) Just make a nandroid backup after rooting your phone. Rooting won't change your modem. In TWRP recovery, you can nandroid backup with the modem. Also, some custom ROM threads, e.g. JEDI or Cleanrom have TELUS modems in the original post. You can flash that if your modem is changed (and as above poster mentioned, a lot of the ROMs don't even touch the modem anyways)
3) Nandroid (after rooting). You could also download the stock rom that you are on at the moment on www.sammobile.com (whether it's 4.1.1 or 4.1.2)
4) I don't know what you exactly want. CM? SlimBean? Clairfy please.
Also, I don't use MMS so I can't tell you. But you could always try a custom ROM to see if that helps. I use CleanRom 5.0 myself right now and it's been working fine.
Lost my modem
Hi
I flew off half cocked. I flashed something on ODIN that gave me root but it appears I no longer have mobile data. Ok - it's been fun but where might be the original file for my phone?
i317m from bell. I am downloading the firmware from SAMmobile now - will that be all I need? Aw heck I am dangerous.

Yes if you downloaded the .tar for your device put it into the PDA slot in Odin and flash.

sorry to say the firmware does not fix the mobile data problem
It seems that no - flashing the firmware doesn't fix my mobile data problem. going to try samsungtools tonight

Mobile data? Have you checked you apn settings?
Sent from my phone
I live in the sticks, haven't touched my modem files at all (running ProBam) but I recently noticed that while I can send pix as attachments to texts, I cannot receive them. If someone tries to send me a pic, nothing happens. I have tried probably a hundred different APN name settings, nothing seems to make a difference one way or another. There are approximately seven trillion results if you do a Google search on the subject, with just under seven trillion different 'answers'.
As for the modem files themselves, I have never touched mine (other than to back them up) and I am running the MA3 modem on my Telus phone. One thing I have noticed is that I never get LTE, not even when I go to the city where it is, but... Otherwise, I can't complain about the speed. I would be more curious about battery life and wi-fi speeds when it came to modem files, there is a chance that the older modem would work better for people in the sticks.
I'm on Sprint, stock Android 5.1... My MDN & MSID are not correct, so usually via the dialer I use ##MSL# but the screen never appears? I know I have the correct MSL, because ##DATA# works & when I choose edit mode, it accepts my MSL just fine.
On another note, from ##DATA# > 'Data Profile' > UserName (ex: [email protected]) - If I make any changes to this, it will not stick. Even though I am selecting Menu > Commit Modifications & phone reboots... any ideas why this change isn't sticking?
Does ##MSL# work for anybody else using a sprint M9 phone?

Yep phone rebooted, wiped all my data, etc. I know the MSL is correct because I can access edit screens for ##DATA#, ##DIAG#, ##786#, etc.
Does ##MSL# work for you? I am wondering if it's something sprint disabled in certain android or radio versions...

I'm on viperone 4.2.1.with the leaked sprint firmware.
you must install that firmware to run the rom. it won't boot otherwise
Random Update: since I am not s-off, I can't run any roms that require firmware flashing, and I can't downgrade either... so I will wait for official OTA to 6.0 to hit my phone and see if that allows ##MSL# access.
I also have Sprint M8, ##MSL# works fine on it (android 5.0.2, sense 6.0, baseband 1.09.20.0209). However, I just now did an OTA update (Android 6.0, sense 7.0, baseband 1.09.20.1112) and now ##MSL# no longer works! So I'm guessing this feature must've been removed?
I am debating if I want to pay for s-off on my m9, downgrade to an early version of lollipop, and see if my theory is correct... If anyone has some insight, please fill me in!
I ended up flashing the ViperOne rom, and this gave me write access via EFS Explorer to change my MSID/MDN.
