so i was running the VR_GengerSense_Revolution_B4 rom about 4 days ago with now problem doing ANYTHING on my phone while in digital roaming. then i left the roaming areas and went into sprint service area and came back into the roaming area and now my phone wont do anything while roaming. i cant make or receive calls or messages or use any apps or the net. i have 2-4 bars of signal but if i try to do anything it tells me i have no network connection. yesterday i switched to the BeKinged-STOCK-Beta-V1-Clark44 rom thinking that changing everything would fix it but it didn't i went back into that same roaming area today and its the same story. does anybody have any idea of what i could do to fix this? I'm at a loss i tried every setting and was on the phone with sprint for about an hr. and nothing. Ive tried different radios and still nothing. i was thinking of un-rooting and seeing if that changed it. it baffles my that it just randomly started with out me changing anything on my phone.
thanks for any input.
i updated the PRL tonight hopefully that will help \. gonna try that before i un-root.
PRL update didn't help. unrooted taking it to sprint tomorrow.
(TL;DR at the bottom)
This morning, I swapped to my old Evo 4g (rooted as well) because I was going to be doing community service all day and didn't want anything to happen to my Epic 4g.
First thing I noticed was that there was no 3g on my Evo. I shrugged this off because 4g was working, and I only needed data for a short period of time.
After switching back to my rooted Epic, I followed the instructions, and it reset after putting in a stream of numbers and symbols.
When booting, I saw a custom boot animation, but everything else looked pretty stock. None of my apps, stock TW launcher, etc.
I shut off the phone, booted into recovery, wiped, and did a nandroid restore from yesterday's backup. Then I updated profile and PRL. I was able to make calls and send text messages, but no 3g (symbol said 3g with grey arrows though).
I also tried flashing a new ROM, but that didn't give me back 3g (symbol was still there).
I haven't been able to try 4g on the Epic yet because I haven't been able to get back to the side of town where the 4g towers reach.
Finally, I called Sprint to see if they could help me out.
They ran me through updating my Profile and PRL, turning WiFi on/off, turning 3g on/off, and even manually setting some of the network configurations (using MSL's, changing MSID, etc.)
After a good hour on the phone, I still have no 3g. D:
They told me that they put in a "Network Support Ticket" and some technicians will work on this for the next 36 hours.
TL;DR: Swapped from Epic --> Evo --> Epic in a 24 hour period, and there is no 3g. Tried updating Profile/PRL, flashing a new ROM, a nandroid restore, and calling Sprint, but still no 3g (even though the symbol is still showing)
Can you guys please help me shed some light on this?
Thanks!
(In case it matters, I'm running the Stock+ ROM from the Mortify Thread)
I really am not sure but you should try calling Sprint, pulling out the battery and ask for an RTN reset. I used this off an Evo thread when I had connection issues with my Epic after going full retard and doing an EFS clear with Odin. The RTN reset on the phone didn't work for me so I think it is different and the tech told me they have resets for voice, SMS, and data but I forget which this is for. If nothing else ask them to do a voice, SMS, and data reset on your line.

I was just about to call them, but had an idea.
I unrooted and 3g came back!
Shortly after, I re-rooted, and am happily using 3g
Thank you!
If anyone else has this problem, I used this to unroot, and this to re-root.
XDA community, you're the greatest
Glad to hear you got it working. Odin works wonders!
My e4gt is flashed to verizon. Saturday I lost my 3g signal so I have no access to the internet. I called verizon and they said everything looks good on their end. My phone appears to be roaming. Or Im getting the triange instead of the 3g icon. I have done the factory reset and reflashed gb27.
Verizon told me to input *228 however when i do it then ask for me to press option 1 but i dont have a keypad and when i try to go to the dialer it takes me back to the screen for the phone activation. If i wait it appears to default to that option 1 and says the activation is complete.
Also my lock screen use to say Sprint on it even though it worked on Verizon. Now it says, "preferred System". I still get phone calls and sms. However when I place a call or receive one it bring ups the data warning.
I also keep getting an error stating, "error 89/: unknown error please try again". Which I would guess has something to do with the lack of an internet connection
Please help I am lost at this point.
Im in the same boat.I had it reflashed but after 2 days i have the same problem. I tried everything but im back to square one

After restoring my lost IMEI values i still have no service. Even though I am clearly receiving a signal, I have no service when I try to do anything.
Occasionally when i turn the phone on ill get about 5 minutes of 4g but no lte, but this eventually decays into nothingness.
What could be causing this problem? Im baffled and in need of a working phone. I unrooted, returned to stock, and updated to latest firmware ota and still nothing.
This has happened twice now. I've gone into a parking garage where I actually had service, and got the error that I had no service when trying to send a text. It happened again today at work, where I lose service in the elevator, gain service when I come out AND am connected to wifi, yet still get this error when trying to send a text when I clearly have service. Only fix is to reboot.
Any thoughts?
I'm Running Wicked ROM.
This phone is weird if your downloading something and data switched to 4g it won't go back to LTE if your still downloading something ...it has to finish the download or pause the download and a minute after LTE comes backup ...this is the only problem I have with this phone
Note 3 using cm_11
I wasn't downloading anything. I'm on wifi in my office and I just received a text, but when I try to make a call or send, it says no cellular network available. WHAT THE F!?
I have been having this issue lately too. Never had it before and had the phone for about 6 months. Im stocked rooted, KNOX not tripped. Its been pissing me off lately too. Was going to wipe and start from scratch if it keeps up. But really dont want to do that.
