I first seen this problem when i flashed synergy rom. My phone failed to activate so as a result it wouldnt make/recieve phone calls but i could text and use data normally. So i tried skipping the setup, using global apn, went to stock then came back, re-flashed many times and the result was either no service or i couldnt make/recieve calls. So i tried to Odin back to stock and unroot, then tried a different rom but still it wouldnt work. I then restored a backup i had of CS ROM but still not working. Any help would be appreciated.
Update: Okay so incase anyone runs into this problem I found a fix that works for me. What i did was bring my phone completely to stock and unroot it. Then i got a notification telling me about a software update, when i opened it a popup came telling me Im now registered. Then I rooted and flashed synergy rom, skipped the setup but then text or phone calls didnt work, so i put airplane mode on then off, and voila it working again.

Did you check your IMEI? If it's unknown or 0, there's a stickied thread on how to restore it.
Also, make sure you have the right modem for you carrier (modem thread if you're not sure). As well as having the right APNs.

*Bad english ahead*
The problem is that my phone seems to refuse to get any service at all. The signal icon just shows a big "X" and it is stuck in "Searching for service".
Phone status shows that the Signal strenght is on -79 dBm, so i guess the anthena is working just fine. But below Service Sate it just shows "Out of service".
Im using a EB13 Modem with the SyndicateROM.
In fact, the phone was working just fine with MidnightROM until i flashed the SyndicateROM over.
Already tried reverting it to Stock rom and nothin, any suggestions?
Did you try reflashing (Just) the modem through ODIN?
Let me try...
Does this one should work? (The odin one)

Did you flash your Epic to Telcel? If so, that process might be causing you some problems. After using Odin to get back to stock, install CWM3 then SRF1.0.1, then once you're stable there, try the carrier flash again.

What do you mean by "Flashing my epic to telcel" and that "Carrier flash?" is on Iusacell, since Telcel dont support CDMA.
And one last thing, what is SFR1.0.1?
EDIT:
Im reverting back to DI18 Stock rom with odin to see if i can do something.

Oh okay - the banner under your username says Telcel, so I figured they were it. I thought I'd read they support CDMA but I was mistaken.
SRF1.0.1 is SyndicateROM Frozen 1.0.1.
On the flash, let me rephrase - did you do anything special to get the Epic to work on Iusacell, or did it work there out of the box?
That's the reason then. You can't change ROMs if you're on a carrier other than Sprint, it will revert your phone back to Sprint.

Nope, the phone was working just fine out of the box. It had signal (Roaming) and all.
I even flashed like 3 roms before Syndicate and it was working just fine. Was just yesterday that i decided to try this ROM out and got the problem.

I'm not entirely sure what to tell you - there's nothing in SRF that should/will/can cause any problems of that sort. Going back to full stock via Odin didn't help?
I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SPH-D700 to return to Stock rom, but i can't get this thing working
Im pretty much lost as well.
EDIT:
Oh god what the... I was just messing around with the phone. Turned on the Flight mode. Made a Factory reset via Privacy setting, Rebooted the phone, turned off the a Flight mode and suddenly had signal again.
I dont know what happened, since i tried the factory reset before with no luck... But well, im glad its working now. Thank you to both of you for the help anyways.
I have a similar problem as the OP, and I'm pretty sure it's ClockworkMod that's causing it.
Seems like every other time I do something in CWM, I get no service and an unknown Baseband and Hardware version in the phone's settings.
So far the only reliable way I've found of fixing it is to Odin all the way back to DI18 and start fresh.
For some reason Odining the modem or EB13 doesn't work (I still get no service).
And I must say, it's incredibly frustrating.
I guess I'll just have to get SRF flashed and never touch CWM again (because doing so almost always breaks my phone).
I'd like to be able to make Nandroid backups though, but unfortunately, doing so breaks the modem (which really doesn't make any sense).
So I recently attempted to flash CM10 to my phone and I think it royally screwed everything up. After messing around with JB for a bit (no working data) I decided to flash back to stock and stay there for a bit. Well, once the flashing was done, I attempted to activate my phone, and it kept failing. Tried re-flashing just to be safe, and it failed again.
I then tried restoring from a nandroid I had, hoping it would restore service like it normally does. But it didn't. It showed my phone as unactivated. I was still unable to activate my phone. D:
I looked in About Phone > Status and my MDN and MIN were screwed up. My phone number displayed as "000-000-5472" and the MIN was all 0's. Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
Might Help
I also did the same thing a while back when i tried out the UK Firmware and when i flashed back with the stock Verizon firmware it erased my phone number and a lot of other stuff but here is a link from a while back explaining how to change your phone number back it worked for me but i never got my 3G working right some info will be different I have the C Spire R800x.

Good Luck
U need to flash the baseband to stock baseband as well as the firmware, and re activate your phone
Happen to me when i flash new baseband and kernel to my R800x
Can't activate since the prl was not loaded properly and i can't get through activation process (ics glitch)
End up flashing to stock, re-inject and activate. Then restore the new ROM via nandroid. This way the phone stay in activated state.

When you flash a baseband before installing a rom, activate your phone on the stock firmware first, then install the rom. Same happened to me but I couldn't see the numberpad.

Hi,
last night this problem just came out of nowhere. I was texting and calling fine like hour before I noticed it happen, but whenever I try to call it hangs up, and whenever I try to text it tells me to try again when service is available. On the lock screen it tells me "Emergency Calls Only", but sometimes it shows "Virgin" I'm with Virgin Mobile Canada, but still doesn't work. I've tried the following:
1. Pulling out battery and putting it back in.
2. Nandroid restore to when I first rooted it, and when it was working fine.
3. Take out SIM card, battery, and memory stick
4. Putting it into airplane mode and disabling airplane mode about 30 seconds later.
5. Unrooted to original Bell Stock Rom image from a thread and now have normal recovery
6.Data/factory reset
The only thing I do have a possible lead on is that yesterday I created a recovery tar file, from a recovery image I got from cwm website under AT&T, thought it was also for Bell (Model wise) as well, so don't know if that's the case, does that have to do with anything? I'm back to stock recovery and rom and from a thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 and downloaded the Bell/Virgin image, and flashed with Odin, I am back to stock, but still did not fix issue. It says Virgin on the top sometimes, and sometimes back to "Emergency calls only" could the recovery flash have changed radio or something? I also did do a restore before I flashed the new recovery and when phone was being normal just before unrooting but that also didn't work. Now I am unrooted and not on custom recovery. But still no service. Most of the time the service is 1 bar, but even when it's on 5 for like 10 seconds, it still doesn't work. Is it me or my carrier? I also noticed that even when the signal shows full strength it tells me "Emergency Calls Only". Thanks for the help.
I'd call Virgin and ask if your service was interrupted for any reason.
Yeah I'm going to do that, but I just looked at the IMEI number on the back of the phone, and looked at it in settings, but it did not match the number it had at the back. It just says 0 in the phone settings. Does that have anything to do with it? I wanna know if this is has anything to do with that first before calling.
EDIT: Okay so I did some research and yes that is apparently the problem, so I rerooted to custom recovery, and followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997 my IMEI is back, and matches, and it says "Virgin" now at the top of my lockscreen, but still, I can't send messages or call. Did the deleting of IMEI also delete something else I should restore? Or is it something on their side? I am connected to Virgin Mobile, but the connection is extremely weak, and does not complete any calls or texts. There's also "IMEI SV" under settings and it says "01" is that an issue?
EDIT 2: Nevermind I just had to follow post 3 after fixing IMEI in that thread I linked and it worked! In case you researched and got here. Follow thread I linked up.

The thread was remove to avoid illegal problem. You'll most likely have to look somewhere else to recover your IMEI if flashing stock firmware doesn't fix it.
Hi there. My device is a i747 on Virgin Mobile (Bell) in Canada. I have no service, or 1 bar of signal (can't make calls at all).
I flashed CM10 in November. Then just the other day I flashed Synergy. Then switched to Galaxy Mod. (I followed instructions for each flash, wiped everything each time etc. even when not specified in the instructions)
Today I switched to CyanogenMod 10.1, I got stuck in a boot loop. So I reflashed back to a stock root image with Odin (root66.stock_Bell_I747MVLALH1.tar). Now I have no service! I can see one signal bar. Under status it says VIRGIN.
EDIT: Now after I typed that, I reflashed another rooted stock image, I have no service at all and IMEI shows as 0.
EDIT: Since posting I have restored my IMEI, the phone seems to be registered on the network. But still no signal just like before
EDIT: March 16: I have tried flashing modems. Then I restored to the latest actual stock (non-rooted) image from my carrier. Same thing.
Please help me out, thanks

Hello.
I just travelled by train and it picked up signals, both voice and data. Possibly because i was passing close to a cell tower. But it quickly stopped working whenever the train moved too far from a cell tower.
Then back to no signal at all.
Will check APNs, but I don't think it would start working then stop if it were a configuration issue.

I tried about 4-5 so far. Didn't work. It's the same result. I'm not able to make any calls, it either shows 1 bar or No service.
So far I have set APNs, updated IMEI, and reflashed modems. When I get home I'm going to try more stuff.

Hi there, I just flashed this file from Samsung-updates.com using Odin. It is 4.1.1 from my carrier.
KIES_HOME_I747MVLDLK4_I747MOYCDLK4_538866_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Then I did a factory reset from inside Touchwiz. What should I try next?
I tried flashing another image: KIES_HOME_I747MVLALE8_I747MOYCALE8_20120523.225040_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5
and doing the factory reset code *2767*3855#. Didn't work, still have no signal in general.
Hello,
i am back again with a new problem!
All the previous problems that was mentioned in this forum is GONE. i was a happy owner. Until i got this problem.
so i wanted to try new Modem, just so i can increase my Signal, and right now, my data plan is keep going on and off, and most the time i can't get it connected it.
i did the wipe date /factory reset from the ROM manager, and wipe cache and dalvik. and yet the problem is not solved.
right now, am running cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL
and the Modem am currently running which sometimes works ( I747MVLDLK4 ) am with Rogers, Canada, Edmonton, AB
If anyone helped me out with this, your next coffee is on me! for real!
anyone?
When I have Wifi or Signal/Data issues, I just Odin back to stock and then re-root & flash ROM again. Works every time.

Yes! i think i did a mistake. While i restored to the stock rom, The baseband that i was using it was I747MVLDLK4 and not the STOCK modem. So maybe that is why its not getting connected? am trying to apply the stock modem into the the stock rom, but its giving me Fail error.
am just scratching my head right now to be quite honest and this close to throw my cellphone outside of the balcony.

How are you trying to flash it?
i managed to make my modem into the stock version. However am just getting "E" in my data connection. Reminder am still in STOCK ROM and stock modem now. is that a good sign that i slighty getting everything back??
should i just install the CM 10.1 now and see the results or what you guys recommend?
annnnnnnnnd my " E" is gone.. Beautiful
do you guys think it might be a actual physical sim card issue?
UPDATE: i restored my phone into the stock rom by Odin3 and now i just re flashed the Cm 10.1 again. sadly i still have no connection and my income and outcome for calling and texts is also not working.
please help!
Try flashing Task's AOKP and see if you have the same issue. Additionally, try deleting the current APNs (access point names) and manually enter the APN settings for your carrier. Could also just be a faulty SIM card as you mentioned.
