Something really odd has happened. I rooted my phone (vzw gnex) tonight and installed cyanogenmod 10.1 monthly. However, after I installed the ROM, everything worked fine except for data service. I had zero service so I decided to revert to stock. I am now on stock 4.1 but still no service. Whats wrong?? Unless there was a freak data outage (in Santa Barbara, CA) right when I rooted the phone I think this is probably my fault. I do have data enabled in mobile settings.
EDIT- data came back...i guess there was an outage for the last hour. Plz delete thread thanks

Need some help here. I never usually need help, been modding everything possible on Android for years now. But can't figure this one out, getting worried.
Had my LTE Nexus since launch day. No issues like this before.
Been on all Team Kang AOKP toro ROM updates since release, always on the latest. Stock kernel. Was on build 20 since it came out.
Yesterday at work, had a few bugs from probably not data wiping from build 19, so I wiped it all and re-flashed 20 again. Restored Titanium and started re-setting things up, I believe these are the only things I did. I was at work where I would normally have minimal, but some, service.
Ever since around there, I have not once had a bit of 3G or 4G service. I have not seen the 3G logo for even an instant, only few, gray bars. Wifi works fine of course. It's possible I even lost service before wiping and re-flashing, but I can't recall or didn't notice.
I tried all the usual stuff, wiping everything again, re-flashed AOKP 20, re-flashed other/older ROMs, re-flashed latest radio, restored old Nandroid backups, pulled battery and sim card and put back/rebooted...NOTHING IS WORKING. Also, I have driven through several towns since yesterday so I know it's not a local outage. Also, other people with Verizon phones here have service fine.
I have basically torn the phone down software-wise and nothing has fixed the issue. I still have no service. Each time I re-flash a ROM, it always makes me go on Wifi when it wants me to sign into Google...it never picks up mobile service then or after.
The About>Status screen says:
Network: Verizon Wireless
Signal Strength: shows an actual number reading that changes
Service State: In Service
Roaming: Not roaming
Mobile network state: Disconnected
Please suggest things I can try, but I guaranteed I have already tried them. Can't understand or imagine what is causing this, because I did nothing different than I normally do.
Also, I posted this on Rootz as well, and many replies so far. Still no luck though.
If you have an idea I can try, maybe post there instead at this point for me?
Thanks guys in advance.

It seems a radio problem. Try to flash the stock ROM from Google.

Well I did go back to many random earlier, more stock custom ROMs in hopes of a fix, but nothing so far. I am currently back on the stock 4.0.2 ROM that is rooted and deodexed by Bigxie, but I guess I can go all the way back to stock 4.0.1 or 0.2. Will try now.
Went to Verizon and it looks like the sim card swap did it. The girl there was nice and did it without hesitation for me.
She showed me in her computer how under my family account, it wasn't even fully showing my device or something like that. Not sure if it wasn't there at all or if it just didn't show that I had a 4g phone activated on the account...but I'm sure it was related.
Sucks to have to get a swap and still don't know what caused it or if its related to flashing roms, but at least it works! No issues since...
It is possible, but unlikely and no reasonable explanation, that your sim somehow got affected doing all the flashing and stuff.

So everything was fine on my Evo (running one of decks roms with a ICS theme) until the screen went out friday night. Saturday I took it in and it was repaired in about 2 hours (very impressed). In between I activated an old back up phone to get me by. When I picked up my Evo the tech had reactivated it and it was ready to go. But when I got to work I had no data. No internet service at all. Calls and Texts were fine, but nothing else. I made sure mobile data was checked, (couldn't update PRL cause of the AOSP rom), but I did a battery pull, rebooted, then I decided to nandroid back to a previous sense rom. Once I booted up still nothing. after about 2 hours all of a sudden I was getting emails, and voxer messages....I had data back!!! But when I tried 4G nothing happened (stays on obtaining IP). Hoping a newer stock based rom would help I flashed the new swag ON rom. Loving the rom...everything is great, but still no 4g. My last resort is to unroot and go back to sprint. I downloaded the wimaxx checker and it says I have my RSA keys so I know those are there. I'm sorry if this is a bit long winded, but I thought being as detailed as possible would help. Any suggestions would be great. The members here have helped me through lots of trouble shooting in the past.
Should also be noted that I attempted PRL update again with no luck, and I live in San Antonio which is a solid 4g area for me.
Good thinking with Wimax Checker - That's usually the first line of defense.
It sounds like because you cannot update PRL or Data Profile that there may have been an issue in the reactivation by the tech at the Sprint store. With that said, I know I'm in the Philadelphia region with good 4G but occasionally there will be a day or so of PRL/Profile update "outages" where I cannot update. I usually will verify with a family member's phone (also on Sprint). Perhaps try having someone you know in the area with Sprint and an android phone try a profile and/or PRL update to make sure it's not just the system being unresponsive.
Ok I will try that tonight and reply back. I had my g/f's evo running decks rom try her 4g and it worked perfectly so I know its my phone. I'll see if she can update. Either way is there some sort of combo pack I can flash for profile and prl??? I'm not too sure how that would work.
Here is the latest Radios-Wimax-PRI-NV Combo pack Click HERE
Ok I flashed an older Wimaxx since the one I had was up to date(did a check in TE). Once flashed and booted up still no 4g. Is it possible that this could be a hardware issue since everything else works? Like the actual antenna is busted? Just hard for me to think that since it was working fine before my screen went out. I always have 4g service at home and work. And my g/f's is working fine she has the evo and she has sprint.

I have the Sprint version of the S3, and I'm rooted. I have the stock 4.0.4 rom and the Jelly Bean rom from XDA. I am currently running Jelly Bean, but the problem exists on both ROMs. I have wiped Dalvik, wiped cache, and tried reinstalling Jelly Bean, and nothing has helped. I don't have a 2G/3G/4G toggle. All I have - in both ROMs - is an LTE/CDMA or just CDMA toggle.
The problem started when I tried to flash CMW Touch by downloading it directly to my SD card and going through CMW to get the install completed. Couldn't get it to work didn't think too much about it. Got in the car and realized I was getting no 3G or voice whatsoever. I was getting sporadic 4G but nothing else. I presumed that Sprint was tinkering again. Finally, I started to see I was getting a few bars for voice, but each time I tried to make a call, I would get "Mobile network not available." So I called Sprint, and the tech support tells me to dial ##-something, then after a while the whole thing comes back. I presume that Sprint got finished tinkering, and tech support really didn't do much - just coincidence.
Fast forward to yesterday. I have some time, and I realize that I never got CMW Touch installed. So I try to flash it again, and then I realize my voice and 3G are gone again, but 4G and Wi-Fi are working like a charm. I also realize that Sprint isn't the one guilty of tinkering.
I got as far as having a few voice bars, but more "mobile network not available." I suspect that the zip file I flashed must have been for another carrier even though I was certain it was for Sprint, and I also suspect my phone is getting bars from another carrier. That's just a suspicion.
As of this morning, I have since updated the radio/modem to the newest version, and that didn't work. I have also flashed the most recent firmware update (modem, baseband, etc.), and that didn't work either. I'm an eyelash from having to download that app that rolls back the counter and take it back into the Sprint store for repair/replacement. Hoping to not have to do that.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
If you're from the Pacific Northwest, Sprint has been having some connection issues here for the last few days. There's an article over on Engadget that talks about it and how it's delayed a few Alaska Airline flights. Mine has been going in and out all morning, but it seems to be calming down now.
Hi everyone. This is my first time posting on here, so here we go:
I am basically having issues making phone calls and sending/receiving text messages. Now I have talked to Sprint and they troubleshooted the issue with me and would get it to work temporarily. Then it would go back the original issue again. They said that it was not a tower issue. Also, my phone is rooted and running a custom rom. Issues seemed to occur a week or so after I flashed JB based rom by Phantom. Not saying that's the issue, but I figured I would throw that in there. I have also attached a screenshot of my about phone. Since then, I have flashed the original rooted rom that I have on my phone. Maybe you guys can suggest a few things. I have also tried the ##72786#. and that does not fix the problem. At one point, it would work temporarily.
Thanks in advance.
Are you in any part of the US effected by hurricane Sandy?
Ever since hurricane I don't receive calls at my house but go less then a mile away works just fine.
I switched on over to roam on VeriZon network with roam control and everything works.
I got told all towers are working in my area. I even flashed back to 100% stock unrooted.
I had Sprint note in my account I was having issues and depending on how long it continues I'll be getting a credit to my bill.

I'm actually located in Florida. I should be fine. Not sure what is going on. .
Starting last week on Saturday, I began getting no phone service. My data works and I'm able to communicate through what's app but when I try to make a call I get no dial tone and "call ended". I have been rooted I forgot which rom I had , maybe Cloudy 2.3 and never had a problem with phone service not working even though I get no bars inside my house.
Today I installed a 6.0 Rom Liquid Dark, and the same issue is happening with my service. I recently paid the phone off. Yesterday I un rooted and went completely back to stock and was able to get phone service. Could this be a sim card issue/phone/or rom problem?
Since I recently paid the phone off, If i bring the phone in will I get a replacement or there is a issue?
If it started working again after the you when back to stock then it was something with the ROM or maybe you flashed a incompatible modem by mistake.
