Recently upgraded to latest twrp from an older one, then restored a backup. When it booted it had wiped data, so went back to recovery and restored again, this time it worked fine, except some of my icons I had set custom images for had reverted to stock.
Then my wife told me she had been trying to call me, but my phone never rang, no call log either. I tried calling her, the phone would hang on the "dialing" screen but never dial. Won't send texts either, but browser works. Reboot or turning airplane mode on and off would fix it for awhile, but then it would do it again. Restored a backup of another rom, same phone issue. Both tw roms.
Kinda sucks, I have to sell my car so my daughter can go to college and I'm waiting for my phone to ring. Suspecting something got corrupted, but no idea where to look.
Have u done a fresh install? Try that n report back.

Then after you do you restore, did you try a factory reset? That's something else you could try.
If that doesn't help then ya, might have to do a INTERNAL wipe also!:banghead::banghead: Sounds really strange to me for sure.

Tried another rom, didn't like it, restored back to my old one and the problem didn't come back. Might have been an att issue, or something got corrupted during restore. I downgraded twrp before the latest restore.

Hi All, I come begging for help after exhausting all of my options and searches for similar issues.
I have a CDMA Galaxy Nexus Stock 4.0.2 but rooted (I installed CWM).
I woke up to my phone stuck in the boot loading screen; it just kept looping over and over. I shut off the phone restarted it and the phone was practically unuseable, it ran very very slow. Now I haven't done anything recently or installed any apps. The only app I installed was a modified MMS app (one of the Inverted Black ones), but that was 2 weeks ago and everything was running fine since then. (However since I'm not on a deodexed Rom, I knew there could be issues).
Well I of course switched back to the stock MMS app that I had manually backed up and that did not help. Now my phone would load, it would get to my homescreen, but it would then say something along, "service is not working, wait, close, or ok?" I'd hit wait and within 2 minutes my phone would automatically reboot and then go into a a sort-of bootloop (it would just show the boot.img and loop).
I then tried to restore two Nandroid back-ups (which were basically bone stock and made months ago) and both worked, except it would say secure.img not found or something like that. I was still able to boot up and use these back ups, but then within 5 minutes I would get the same error and then the phone would reboot.
After retrying them I decided to to just go bone stock and wipe and do a factory reset. This worked and everything seemed fine until I went to turn on wi-fi.
I would wait for wi-fi to turn on and eventually it would just quit and then reboot the phone. I did this 3 times in a row to confirm that it was indeed wi-fi causing these rebooting issues.
Now here's the thing, right now my phone is working as I have purposely tried not to touch the wi-fi (I need to use my phone) . Data, voice, mms/sms all work. But I literally have no idea why wi-fi would be causing my OS to go crazy?
My last resort is to flash the stock toro.img but I was hoping you guys could help me before I get to that point.
As of right now even though I did a data wipe/factory restore my phone is still rooted (rooted apps all work) and my bootloader is still unlocked. (I renamed the secure.bootloader file as per the instructions when using fastboot to load CWM).
Please help me troubleshoot this, Thanks guys.
I don't know if you have tried but maybe try flashing a rom after a data wipe

I'm thinking about doing this as well since I will probably have to flash back to stock. I just want to make sure I can get back to stock since I am still covered by warranty and insurance (assuming they do not check to see if my phone has an unlocked bootloader).

Well you can always relock the bootloader. I doubt you will have to go back to stock though
Hey Everyone,
I am running the SGH-T989 with the latest Darkside (2.3) ROM and kernel. Though new to the forums I have been "trolling" here for years and rooting and moding every phone I have had since ... well I can't remember when.
Never had any serious troubles, but suddenly, about 2 days ago I stopped getting incoming calls. It acts as though the phone is off and all calls go straight to voice mail, this happens when I have full signal, and I can still make outgoing calls. I have done full wipes, charged fully, tried it plugged in, not plugged in, on WIFI calling, on cellular networks, different ROMs, and nothing seems to work.
Anyone have any suggestions?
check under settings --call--- call rejection---auto reject numbers---should be off or the ones you want rejected...may got switched to all calls
Thanks for the response Bobby. Unfortunately I checked that after posting and it is set to off.
However I retired again and I am receiving calls now over Wifi calling, just not over cellular networks.
This is herring frustrating and of course the missus blames me for routing and ROMing
Ok,actuakly I tried to type retried but you gotta love auto-correct.

What about call forwarding?
Just checked and Call forwarding is set to:
Always forward: Disabled
Forward when busy / unanswered / unreachable is all set to voicemail.
Could that be the culprit even if I show full signal and am able to make out going calls? Should I disable any of those?
A few weeks back I had flashed a new rom and did a full app restore from Titanium backup. I had the same thing happen with call going directly to VM. I did a full wipe and re-flashed and then restored only missing apps and the problem went away. I assume it may have been a conflict with the restore. Might be worth a try. Good luck.

Yes if you restore system data that causes issues unless it's backed up and restored on the exact same rom.

I am having the same exact problem on Jugs 5.0... very interesting. I did not do a Ti restore, but rather just upgraded from one iteration of Jugs (3.7) to the latest.
But what happens when you don't restore any apps / data? I tried a fresh ROM install and prior to installing any apps I was unable to get any incoming calls (except when on WIFI calling).
Thanks for the help everyone. I guess its time to break down and contact Tmo and see what's up.
You beat me by seconds Poser. I tried Jugs 5.0 too and the problem still didn't go away.

By fresh install did you go into recovery and:
1. wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache
3. wipe davlik
4. mnt /system and wipe
5. flash ROM
I only ask, because I am wondering if "ghosting" is leading to mine and your problem?
Well, with the Darkside ROM has its own script to do a wipe ..... But, I'm a little OCD so, especially after having the problem I went through and wipe / re-wiped / wiped dalvik / re-wiped and factor reset.
Then after the flash (no matter what ROM that I have tried since having this problem) I fix permissions and then leave it for some time after boot to let it "settle in".
Hopefully the "ghosting" is your problem and the full wipes will help.

No dice, same problem. Wonder if it is an /efs problem?
Don't know but it is odd. I can still make outgoing calls, get data and everything else.
I have the same exact symptoms...exactly. It also just began a couple of days ago. Have you restored to bone stock via ODIN (I can't, my usb port is shot)?
Get a new sim card. If factory reset doesn't do it and you think its not network related and you don't think you accidentally blacklisted all your friends its probably the sim card.

Android_Monsters hit the nail on the head. I took it to a T-Mobile store, they replaced the sim and all is golden (except that my wife can now call me again )
And in case you are worried, my phone was still rooted / ROMed and the Tmobile rep working the store was simply stunned to see the custom boot screen. They didn't care in the slightest that the phone was rooted and ROMed. In fact he was upset because he couldn't do that because of company regulations.
Same here.... new Sim did the trick
Huh?
This happened to me b4 I called t-mobile and they fixed it without going anywhere.

For some reason, my phone randomly has lost the ability to make or receive phone calls. Any time i try to place a call, it simply says "call ended" before even attempting to dial. I have not made any major changes to the phone recently. This seems to have happened out of nowhere. Data and text messaging work just fine, but phone calls won't.
My phone is rooted and I have the leaked Touch Wiz Jelly Bean rom installed. Also using CWM recovery.
I have tried pulling the battery for 10 minutes, and I also wiped cache/dalvik then did a system reboot through recovery, to no avail. Is there anything else I can try? Would prefer not to have to do a full data wipe if possible. Unfortunately I can't even call Telus (my carrier) to ask them for advice, due to this problem.
Is your IMEI# intact? Maybe try a new SIM card? Go back to stock to see if that fixes it. (I know you said you'd prefer not to wipe.)
Just to rule out any ROM related issues you could always make a full backup from recovery, then full wipe and flash back to stock and see if the problem persists. This way although you did wipe you can revert back to you current setup in a matter of minutes like nothing ever happened, if the problem is not fixed by going back to stock.

Yep IMEI is still there. Anyone have any other suggestions before I wipe and flash back to stock? I'll try a new SIM card if wiping and re-flashing doesn't work.

This seems like a good idea, I think I'll have to go this route... thanks.
Okay so I did a full backup using CWM, then wiped everything. Attempted to re flash the stock rom but ran into an issue and decided to try a different rom instead just to try it out.
Dialler worked fine on the new rom, so that was great news. Then I attempted to sync my contacts and everything with my Gmail.... But nothing was there. Apparently I somehow lost all my contacts!
So, freaked out, I immediately reverted to my Cwm backup, which thankfully restored everything. Just for the hell of it I tried the dialler... And it worked! So.... Yeah I have no idea what exactly fixed my problem in the end, but I'm just happy its working.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

Sounds like the dialer app was borked somehow, might want to look into those sync settings though. I had an issue one time where the contacts i added to my phone were saving to the phone and not as gmail contacts. To check you can just log into gmail in a broswer and look at your contacts, make sure they are all there. If not you can go to your contacts on your phone, press menu and export to a .csv file. This will move all contact info into this file and you contacts will be blank, at this point simply find where you saved the .csv and import the contacts which will give you the option to make them gmail contacts. Then all you need to do is go into gmail on the browser again and delete and/or merge the duplicates.
Okay so I left my phone as-is for the past couple weeks until earlier tonight. I made a backup with CWM, then I attempted to flash a couple new roms. Did a cache/dalvik/system format/factory reset before each rom installation, then made sure to format cache/dalvik and fix permissions after each installation attempt. The roms installed fine and everything was working, except I lost use of my dialler again! So I reverted to my backup, but the dialler problem has persisted, just like I described in the OP. The way I "fixed" it last time, was to restore my backup....but that isn't helping this time...
Anyone know what else I can try? IMEI still intact, getting mobile data, wifi, MMS, etc... just can't make or receive calls again.
I should also mention that I a while back, before I tried rooting/installing any custom ROMs, I made a backup of my EFS folder on my phone... should I attempt to restore this?

I had a similar problem messing around with lte, and found the above fixed the issue.
Also on Telus.

Ok, I'm at a total loss. For some reason my gnex running liquidsmooth started rebooting randomly today. I tried wiping cache/dalvik and that didn't work, so I did a factory reset. That also didn't help, as soon I was asked to choose a wifi network the phone froze and rebooted. So I tried restoring to a previous working version of liquid. I still had the same problem. It rebooted every 5 minutes! Then, I tried wiping everything and installing a fresh copy of liquid,but I still couldn't get past choosing my wifi network w/o a reboot. So I finally tried restoring to a really old aokp backup and it STILL is rebooting. what the heck is going on? Can anybody give me any help? Is this a hardware issue? I've also tried two different batteries by the way.
Some more info. It seems to be tied to notifications. I got it running on the AOKP rom on airplane mod, but when i received a text from my wife it rebooted 3 times. I only got it to stop by putting it back into airplane mod. Could it be a radio issue? I'll try flashing some.
why dont you flash back to stock and see if that works fine. that will tell you everything.

Good point. I'll probably try flashing muzzy's rom really quick, since it's supposed to be so stable to see if that does the trick. If not I'll try going back to stock. I've never had to go back to stock with this phone, so I wouldn't mind avoiding it if I can, but anything is worth a shot at this point.
I really just need to nurse it along until the VZW one or Moto X come out. I'm holding out for those at this point.
I wouldn't recommend flashing another custom ROM. You should flash the factory images.
tried seraching, I guess my wording just wasn't right or maybe Im the only one (doubt it) I rebooted / battery pulled no luck, I tried going back to stock rom so I could update prl, no good it kept giving errors when reloading, when it finally did boot into stock it would freeze a second after loading up. Soooo.. restored back to my backed up 10.1.2 and still no good, I can receive txt via google voice AND mms via stock txt app, but no txt through stock app and no incoming calls.. outgoing is fine... anyone got any ideas ?? IF I were to reload my phone to factory though Kies would that make me loose root and all I have done or can I do that.. update prl then rom manager back to saved 10.1.2 ? I am currently downlaoding 10.2 but I don't think thats gonna help.....
THANK YOU!!!

I have not yet... the update to 10.2 screwed up and ( opr I screwed it up ) and when I tried rebooting back to 1.2 it lost everything like I never had anything setup.. even titanium can't find by backups.. Im gonna try and clean phone out completly and start from scratch... do you know if I should use Kies? or search another way ?? I just don't wanna do the first thing I read and ruin anything...
Well, were you on 4.1.2 before you tried to go to CM 10.2?
Its important to know whether you were on 4.1.2 or had upgraded to 4.3 using the update sprint sent out.
Never did sprint update. Never asked me to. Thats why I wanted to goto stock, update, then do 10.2 but my stock won;t let me load, tried again last night, just errors. Before end of day I am going to verify drop box has my pics and stuff in my internal sd and intend on doing a hard reset, or wipe or watever and start fresh. I am just curios if root will be lost not that that is a huge deal, but when I first rooted it took me quite a bit of tries.
