Hi, I'm a noob, forgive me. I bought my Desire HD from Singapore, which came unlocked. Then, I downgraded it, and rooted it. Everything went fine. Then one day, after flashing a rom and flashing the recommended radio (forgot which rom), my phone suddenly lost signal, and I have been unable to get it back since. It says "Limited Service Emergency Calls Only" It detects the SIM card, but when I try to connect to my home network, it says that my SIM does not allow a connection to that network. So, I flashed back to stock, both Froyo and Gingerbread, assuming that it replaces the radio with the default radio. (Is that so?) However, that does not work. Now I fear that I might have flashed the wrong stock rom, which might be the problem. Does anyone know what is the stock rom for the Desire HD shipped to Singapore unlocked (software number, etc) and how can I get it? Also, how can I check the rom's information (software number, whether it is for asia, or is it WWE... etc) THANKS A LOT
PS. I tried getting a replacement SIM. it does not work. it is a 128k sim card. (Does that help?)
Nicholas
Also, other SIMs work on my Desire HD. My SIM doesnt, but works on other phones.
HELP! 4g LOST / not working
THE SHORT OF IT: I flashed a custom ROM & kernel. They didn't work properly, so I flashed my nandroid to get back to rooted stock. NOW I HAVE NO 4G or signal of any kind (wifi works)!!!!!!
THE LONG OF IT:I'm in South Korea using the Galaxy Note 2 on the carrier LG with their U+ LTE service. As far as I could see and have been told my phone ONLY uses 4g (no 3g or other options to check). I was advised to flash a Tmobile or ATT Rom (I chose the Tmobile AOKP) as our U+ phones don't have their own Roms & Forums and I flashed a custom kernel from sjkoon a developer posting kernels that work for our phone. Others have done the same thing and reported no problems. After flashing, the new Rom & kernel, the phone booted in the Google startup helper I could not gain access to any signal or wifi to access or create a gmail account.
So, I nandroided back to stock (rooted, mind you, using chainfire's exynos exploit) but my 4g won't work, only wifi does. So, I have NO way to make/receive calls. I've verified a number of pieces of information through various avenues and have the following:
PHONE INFO
My Access Point Names says "LG U+" with "internet.lguplus.co.kr" underneath. There is no option to change it or edit it, just a radio button with no other options (is this is fine?). I was advised in another forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36895160#post36895160) to change mmsc's value to http://omammsc.uplus.co.kr:9084, but I dont' know where that option is to change it, or if this is a problem.
I also used the the "Phone Info" app and got some of these readings:
In Telephony, have a Device ID, my Network type is 3, Sim State 5, it shows I have a SIM operator and country, Serial Number Subscriber ID, etc. The only things that MAY be strange (I don't know what their original values should be) are that Call State, Data Activity and Data State are all 0 and my Network Operator Name, Network Operator and Network Country ISO are just blank. Even if I wanted to change any of these I have no idea how...
PLEASE HELP & THANK YOU!
It's strange. I spent the night/morning searching forums for a solution but not sure exactly what to do. Please, help me or point the way to fix this issue if you know how and thank you very much. I'm willing to buy you a beer or buy your newest app, say thanks on all your posts for the next month, whatever! Hehe. ...:crying:
Hi,
I am very new to android and reading lot of posts online but saw mix response, so posting it here for more clarity.
I got LG G2-sprint version rooted phone from one of my frnd in USA. The phone is working good with Vodafone India. I have below mentioned queries
- If I factory reset the phone,
1) will it lose the rooting?
2) will it get locked to sprint and I lose to connect to Vodafone India?
- I see update available notification. If I update the phone, will it get locked to sprint and I lose India operator connectivity?
- I Can not see GSM only mode for 2G only use (just to save battery consumption by 3G at times). Is there any way. I network settings I see only 4 options (Global, LTE/CDMA, CDMA, GSM/UMTS).
Pls help.
first of all, questions dont belong in the the development area.
2nd, factory reset shouldnt cause you to lose root, however it may not place nice. (i remember bricks from lg optimus days)
3rd, i wouldnt take any updates or anything unless you have a backup of everything including apns and all the apn settings. if you factory reset, it will try to go through sprints hands free activation.

If you got it from your friend in US, who might have been unlocked the phone directly through Sprint then you are good to go, you don't need to worry, if he hasn't got it unlocked through Sprint then search Sprint Development section you will find information how to unlock it. But factory reset does brake Root(in other words you will loose root) & secondly, while you are on root DON'T EVER UPDATE LG G2. Otherwise you'll have a soft brick.

Thanks brothers for your response. I again got two different answers
1st one - Factory reset will not break the rooting
2nd one - Factory reset will break the root.
One query is still unanswered
--> I Can not see GSM only mode for 2G only use (just to save battery consumption by 3G at times). Is there any way. I network settings I see only 4 options (Global, LTE/CDMA, CDMA, GSM/UMTS)
Hi Team.. pls help...on GSM ONLY setting with LG G2 Sprint version. I simply can not see GSM ONLY mode in network/mobile settings
so i installed TWRP on mu unlocked and S-OFF phone, and rooted the phone. then from the recovery, i made a nandroid backup, wiped the phone, and installed this ROM. even though all traces of Verizon software is now wiped off the phone (i hope!), it still only connects when the Verizon SIM card is in (and it shows the Roaming sign; fyi, i am in Canada now). it won't give me a voice nor a data connection with my Telus SIM card nor with my Rogers SIM card. so, i went into recovery, wiped cache, and afterwards, the phone was stuck in the boot...i had to go to recovery again, wipe everything, and restore my nandroid backup. the phone is now back to stock Verizon software, and it still only connects when the Verizon SIM card is in. it should at least give me voice connection with the Telus or Rogers SIM card, but it won't. something must have happened to the radio when i flashed the ROM, and i can't figure it out.
do you guys have any troubleshooting ideas? can anybody guide me towards a fix/troubleshooting method? i'd appreciate any help...

This ROM is still very early and has some bugs. Making it work for people not using it on Verizon isn't a concern of Santods at the moment. Switch to something that does work for you until he gets the rom further along.

thank you all for your help. it's not just APN though; with that ROM, i cannot even have a voice connection, let alone data. and even though i restored my stock backup (and now running the original ROM that came with the phone), the voice still doesn't work; it only functions with a Verizon SIM card.

Well.. when you were on cm you couldn't get any service? Is your carrier lte/cdma or gsm based? Are you showing global mode when on cm? It also can be a case where some qpst work needs done to enable the extra radio bands needed to pickup your carrier.

i'm guessing by CM you mean CyanogenMod, right? if so, i was never on CM. i was using the stock ROM (4.4.3, Sense 6.0, Verizon bloatware), and then i flashed the Lollipop ROM by santod. the phone initially could connect to Rogers and i had voice and very slow (i.e., EDGE) data speeds, but after flashing the ROM, my phone lost the ability to provide any sort of voice connection except when i'm using my old Verizon SIM card (that shows the Roaming icon, because i'm in Canada now).
i could try CM, if you think it has less possible bugs. do you suggest i do a factory reset while on stock ROM and then flash CM?

Yes. Factory reset on stock recovery. Then flash twrp and sideload the latest cm build. I would probably stay with cm11 for now too.

yeah, sure. i have flashed MDMower TWRP 2.8.1.1; do you suggest i use 2.7.1.2? also, what do you exactly mean by "sideload"? i'm just a newbie; this is my first ROM flash experience. thank you

Well you can do a factory reset on stock Rom and let it boot up and then copy cm over to phone storage for flashing.....or...adb sideload.
When you boot into twrp under the advanced options there's an adb sideload feature. Once the phone is in this mode you can use you pc to send a Rom over using the command "adb sideload nameofROM.zip". Your pc will send the Rom over and the phone will flash it once it's copied over.
Backup the internal sd card of your phone before you factory reset. I've forgotten so many times it isn't funny.

ok, i did all that with MDMower TWRM 2.7.1.2 this time. CM11 is up and running now, but i still have the same issue. my Telus and Rogers SIM cards lead to a "No Service" icon, whereas my old Verizon SIM gives the Roaming indicator. funny thing is that with all three SIM cards, the correct set of APNs is loaded by default when i boot the phone, but selecting those APNs don't change anything. i also tried Global, GSM only, WDCMA preferred, and some combinations of those modes to no avail (the only SIM that leads to service is Verizon's). it seems like the phone is hard-coded for that particular SIM card, no matter what.
any other ideas? could the radio have become corrupted somehow during unlocking/S-OFF'ing/flashing? if so, what is a workaround for this?

I would bet they are using a frequency that's not currently unlocked on your radio. There is a lengthy how to posted on Google about how to enable Qualcomm radio bands.

aha, great! i know that Verizon HTC One M7 uses
CDMA 800/1900 MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900MHz
UMTS/HSPA 1900/2100MHz
LTE 700MHz (Band 13)
according to this Wikipedia page, Telus has a HSPA+ network on 850/1900 MHz (so at least the 1900 Mhz band should give me something, shouldn't it?), it has CDMA service that's supposed to shut down completely in 2015 (it is out of service in some places in Canada, but i'm not sure about my area), but has no GSM service at all.
thanks for the tip about enabling radio bands; i'll search for it...
Hi all, I've been battling this problem for days now. Airplanr mode is stuck 'Turning off...' and wont connect to my mobile carrier. Things I've tried:
Restarting phone with and without SIM inserted
Factory reset from settings
Factory reset from recovery mode
Flashed to the same build twice using the flash from SD card method (build 3.36.709.3)
Turned airplane mode on and off with wifi/mobile data/NFC turned on or off
I have no idea what to do next. I doubt it's a hardware problem as the phone detects the sim card when I put it in and asks if it's O2 pay and go or pay monthly, so it can even read it, it's just the phone wont come out of airplane mode.
I am on holiday without a PC but feel free to post ideas that requires one. Device is currently S-on and unrooted. I would rather not root or s-off the device just yet, and would rather stay on stock ROM as it's still in warranty. Problem is, it's in the UK and the warranty is held in Taiwan, which means sending it internationally to get it fixed. It's also a problem as there is a language barrier between me and their support for phone calls and their live chat button appears to always be greyed out.
Edit: I found this for the M8 which I think is in the right direction:
"Even I started thinking same way but it wasn't hardware issue.
I used ##786# to reset the phone completly (it did asked me my MSL/SPC) and everything was wiped from the phone. ( I am sure this reset is different from normal factory reset)
now my phone is up and I can toggle Airplane Mode On & Off however now there is another thing which I came accross
1. No roaming option or extended options in "Mobile Data" option under Wireless & Settings
2. No Network Sharing option
Even tried after running RUU_M8_WHL_K44_SENSE60_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_Harman_2 .16.654.4_R2_Radio_1.08.20.0612_4_NV_SPCS_1.52_003 _release_384670_signed_2"
How do I do this with the M9? aLogcat comes back with no MSL so I need a free unrooted way to get that, and that # code doesn't do anything on the M9 either!
Edit2: Tried*#*#4636#*#*
Option is there to turn on the radio, but pressing it does nothing. Changing preffered network type does nothing either (I select any option from the drop down and the original choice remains). SIM is with O2. Currently set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE
Please help -_-
damn you really tried an m8 RUU on M9? please don't be stupid! it will never work lol. is your phone unlocked, so you could flash twrp recovery? otherwise you need to find a RUU matching your mainversion/CID. but this time not from m8 lol

The M8 RUU was a quote from someone having the same issue on their M8. Sorry if that wasn't very clear. I am running a fresh M9 latest RUU, I'm not dumb enough to put an M8 RUU on it and the stock flash utility (download mode) isn't either.
I still haven't found a solution to this. Can anyone help?
tried in *#*#4636#*#* on the menu button the frequency option? if you are fully stock, ask HTC, if they have no other fix, send it for warranty
I've tried everything in that screen. Here is what I have also tried today:
Bootloader unlocked
Custom recovery installed
Rooted
Model number and CID changed to developer model
Developer rom installed (android lollipop) same problem
Latest developer edition firmware installed
ViperOne 4.3 installed, same problem
Cryno... Something... I forget the name, but another custom rom installed, same problem.
It's fair to say that the problem is probably hardware related. The SIM card is detected, but the radio willnot turn on. In this instance, what is the most likely hardware cause? Is it worth replacing the sim card reader or is it more likely to be a chipset issue? I would be happier replacing the sim reader if the sim was not detected at all.
Btw, all the custom software stuff was done because HTC Taiwan said they wouldn't touch it. According to them it's out of warranty even though UK support say it's in warranty with the taiwan support centre.
