I live in the uk. its a uk handset and im on t-mobile. The handset is unlocked to all networks.
What i wanna know is why im having this problem. if its the radio id like to know exactly which one ill need and if i cant sort it is there a way to reset the phone so it has the radio and stock rom it had on it before it was rooted. Ill be honest i dont have alot of time to read through threads and so far the web has been useless. I will pay for the help if i need to but i need a solution because no one can contact me!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

where do you see that you have not service? on the lock screen on the status bar or where?

Nandroid your current setup & flash ARHD and report back please. It could be a ROM issue..
Did I help you? Hit THANKS!
Galaxy S3 (BEAST, stock)
Desire HD (Retired, REVOlution)
Galaxy Note 10.1 (Big Bad Wolf, stock)

I get no Service written on lock screen and get the no service icon at the top of my screen when I use my phone.

its a rom issue i had too when i used cm 7.1 i installed another rom and it worked perfectly on my dhd.i only replaced radio when i used a rom back then that gave me very low range of freq.

ok ive tried a few roms, a few radios. tried the nandroid and the 4 letter thing i cant remember aahk or something. anyway none of it worked. got my phone back to stock with same issue. it is the handset but i dunno what to do

Make sure the bottom plastic cover is placed properly, or replace it.
It houses the antenna for the phone.
It's the one you remove to acces your sim and SD card.
This one:

The cover ain't the issue because I have gprs but. No bars. And rarely I get bars and it still won't call or text.

u may have fried the radio whem u flashed the dhd.i suggest try and get it check by a techy.aahk only returns to stock system when its bricked.
ruu is for updating.have u tried formatting the entire system? as in nothin left on the device.use 4ext recovery back up everything.
nandroid is for back up has nothin to do with the network.odd to see the bottom cover as an issue.coz network still works even if u take it off the phone

I just installed the new kernel 2.05 of LeeDrOid and at the end I have no signal on my phone, please someone help me. I have installed the HD Revolution rom 2.0.12
Do you have clockworks recovery? Have you made a backup? The simplest will be to re-flash your original rom over again. It contains the original Kernel, and if the problem is really there, it will solve the problem (if it worked before). BTW - you need to do two things, One read much more before you start a new thread, and the second - provide more details..
1. reboot your phone .. if still no signal ...
2. reflash back the revo hd rom .. if still no signal ..
3. restore backup .. if still no signal ..
4. flash original htc ruu
Hi I restored the original rom 1.32, and I have no signal. I reinstalled the HD Revolution rom Android, I have no signal. I restored the original kernel and I have no signal, please someone can tell me I can do

Borrow a friend's sim-card and check if theirs works.
Also, try a different ROM and Radio combination. For example, try the radio here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840040
1/5 down the page, after the ROM download mirrors.
Then try installing this ROM, after you've installed the radio.
If still not working, you've got a couple of options:
- contact HTC for a factory reset,
- throw your phone at the wall,
- dismantle your phone and play around with the hardware, or
- take the phone out of the lead-based protective case.
try install other radio or wipe
thanks

Did you flash the gapps from the pa thread? You have to have those for all that stuff to work. Make sure its the PA gapps because they've made some changes to them, somehow.

I'm not sure then, you might have to reflash everything. I don't know what else to try. I've never had that particular issue. Was it a dirty flash over another version? I'd make a backup, do a clean install, and see if the problem is still there. Worst case, if it is still there, you can restore your backup. If not, then maybe the install had a brain fart. Have you tried reflashing PA and gapps and wipe cache and dalvik on this install? (Sorry if I'm rambling, I'm half asleep)
It doesnt look like you are connected to any network at all. Your wifi and signal icons are greyed out. Thats why you are getting that message.

Does it go online with a cellular connection or just wifi? Check Settings>About Phone>Status>IMEI and see what the number is. I don't know why, but that was the first thing I though when I reread this thread is that maybe you've had your EFS partition wiped. I "think" if it's a real IMEI it will start with a 3, but a generic unusable one will start with a 1. I don't know if that would affect Google Connection, but it might.
Also, have you tried redownloading the ROM and GAPPS?
Did you set correct Date & Time settings? Cuz it's important to log in GG account.

Grey means connected, blue is connected to the Google servers. The OP has a connection just not to Google

[Q] do I REALLY need Gold Card?

Hi y'all, somebody gave me a DesireC, it needs "Scrubbed"
Really can't do much other than play with the phone coz it's got that "CarrierIQ" crap in it, never mind my good freinds phone number --
Got it to root and S-off, factory reset it, (her number still there, tried that 3 times) as well as boot screen from her carrier...
I've tried making a gold-card? Learned alot but never succesfully made one. There is uncertaintly in the instructions wether to reverse the HeX string needed for the Gold card. Or Windows won't format the SDcard rightly...
Wouldn't all this be easier using Debian? [Linux]
I just want it bare nekked, no carrier, no number, NO SNITCHWARE (carrierIQ)
Do I NEED the gold-card to make this phone anonymous? If so, please point to the CLEAR instructions
Thanks in advance --
Virginwidow
Try asking in the Desire C section. This is the Desire (bravo/bravoc) section.
Hi thank u for such fast response...
Waiting for the darn things battery to come back up or I'd copy the info screen --
but from memory (I've been lurking here and playing with it for several weeks)
it says it's
PB99400
bravoc
hboot 93
should I still move to other forum?
Thanks again

You don't need a goldcard for the 2.3 RUU.
If your phone looks like this:
Then change section.
Thank you kindly sir
My phone is 1st picture
bravoc DVT2 ship S-Off
hboot 0.98.0000
The dern thing won't let me RUU, as it's US Cellular apparently stock as I've tried "Factory Restore" hoping to clear my friends infoz off it
no joy, her number's still in it I'd be much happier if the phone number was blank, or xxxxxxxxxx (or whatever the default string is for a never activated phone)
Don't have (or see a need for) a carrier for it, coz I've not yet learned wether I can have it activated as a plain CDMA "No Gee" cell phone, If I gots Wifi I don't see a need for even 3g... It's loaded apps OK over WiFi. I'm a bit skittish even using WiFi till I'm sure it's clean with no CIQ
Once I get it's innards wiped (without any snitchware gunk) want to load a clean, battery efficient, more usable ROM (I don't need Fap-Book or Twiddler or games)
will loading a custom ROM remove the US Cellular crap and number?
Thanks in advance
Virginwidow
Yeah, installing a custom rom removes the apps from your carrier
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
well, so far the contrary little varmit won't let me load ANY rom,
keeps sayin error in /sdcard/update.zip
status 7
using the clockwerk recovery... going to try to force feed it an 4ext recovery image :crying:
There's a old post says if your desire/bravoc is "branded" mine is you gotta make it a gold card, thought that might be what's wrong?
I've tried everything fix the permissions etc... hell I loaded suse5 when I was a kid surely I can figger this out. For some reason the recovery thing is rejecting the ROM image
Thanks folks

"US Cellular"?
:laugh:
Holy cow! it worked!
Cyanogen Mod 7, DL'd from clockwork Mod site -- I figgered don't try anything fancy (I tried some of the custom ones, the Slim Jelly Bean, for instance) ...
Naturally I hadda unbrick (I think? It was stuck in the HTC screen) a couple times before tried "keep it simple stupid" :victory:
I'm quite pleased with the ROM its ever so much nicer than that HTC crap == BUT IT STILL SEZ "US CELLULAR"?? How do I get rid of that?

Hi abaaaabbbb63-
I got a old Desire CDMA (PB99400 Bravoc) with US Cellular. Unfortunately it is S-ON and I want to root it. The deal is that the HBOOT version is 1.09.000 and all the tools I have found are for HBOOT 1.06.000
Do you know if it is possible to downgrade the HBOOT?. My phone looks like Picture 1 in your post.
Any advice will be highly appreciated.
Cheers

Have the same problem after 5.0.2 update on my t700. I've tried several rom versions, made full wipes before and after flashing the roms but no luck. The device is stock with no root.

It's a problem which started bugging my Note 3 too after the Lollipop upgrade so that very much confirms that it's a software issue..
Switch to Always Off in settings and then tap on OK
After this, choose your old setting like 1.5 seconds and then tap OK again.. :highfive:

Please Help: No Signal / "service state: out of service" [With Screenshots]

I would be so grateful if someone more knowledgeable than I helps me troubleshoot this issue.
I bought a used Nexus 5x yesterday, everything worked fine and it was all stock, i checked my sim card and it worked on the phone.
I took it home unlocked the phone and installed a custom ROM, somehow In the process I seem to have done something that has made it so the phone cannot connect to my mobile network. It seems to be able to see the mobile network [ imgur.com/IdpFg0O ] but not connect [ imgur.com/5edM5G6 ]. The phones APN setting [ imgur.com/5J1Ixoy ] appear to match the information provided on various websites.
The SIM status page [ imgur.com/WGWnqSM ] might give some indication as to what the problem is. It lists the network as "unknown" and the service state as "out of service" and mobile network state as "disconnected."
What I have already tried:
Restarted the phone

Removed and reinserted the SIM card
Tried another SIM card
Manually set APN settings
Manually set Network
Wiped Phone (factory reset)
Reflashed the same custom ROM
Reflashed another custom ROM
Reflashed the Stock ROM
Could I have maybe somehow screwed up the /EFS partition when I was wiping or installing the new ROM?
I dont really know what else to do to troubleshoot or try to fix the problem. I would be sooo sooo grateful if anyone more knowledgeable than I am could help me troubleshoot this issue, there doesn't seem to be much information out there about this problem. I really don't want to have bricked my phone the day after I bought it, so please, if you can offer any assistance helping me understand and diagnose the problem, I would be so grateful!

All rooms require a specific version of radio.img make sure you have the right one otherwise you'll have problems like that check out in the xda thread of your rom what version it requires and then download the factory image and flash the radio.img with fastboot
Hi kastik4,
Thanks for the reply, I appreciate you taking the time to lend a little help.
So if I understand you correctly what you are saying is that each specific ROM has its own radio.img and that a mismatch could potentially be causing my problem?
If so, I'm not sure if this is the problem as one of the troubleshootings steps i've taken is trying to go back to the stock factory ROM following Googles instructions and (I believe) flashing the stock radio.img. However, it is entirely possible that I did something incorrectly in this process so I think I will try to redo the process and make sure I got everything right tomorrow.
Any other ideas as to what could be the issue?
@local5x: you wrote, that you reflashed stock ROM. If you did it via flashall.bat (means you lost /data and root) and error persists, probably your hardware is gone.
Messed efs you can detect easily: IMEI shown in settings and on your contract, must be identical.
Generally is the newest radio-image fine. @kastik4's advice is mostly overdressed.
Hey, did you solve your issue or you still need some help?

No, I did not solve the problem. I got a cheap phone in the meantime, but haven't been able to figure anything out with the 5x. Maybe it is a hardware issue, IDK, and I dont really know where else to go in terms of troubleshooting, I'm sorta in over my head here. I wish I could narrow down the problem though, even If it is just to find out that it is a hardware problem and I'm screwed at least I would have a little clarity/closure.
hello I have the same problem my phone says no service and only emergency calls, I followed some solutions nothing yet. I would like to find a solution since it does not detect the available networks
