VU2.39 Lost Radio...Out of Service????

Beautifully working VU2.39. Then decided to add new lock ring. Totally messed up phone.
Restored with ROM Manager to prior situation, but have totally lost phone radio (and therefore phone, 3g etc.) Have tried restoring many times, tried airplane mode, wiped cache...all with no solution.
Shows no service, no CDMA or other option exists in settings, phone info shows:
Signal Strength =0
Mobile Network Type unknown
Service state= out of service
What did I do here??? How to fix???

Have now done factory reset and called Verizon. They tried to change manual codes but to no avail. Seems my radio got fried by applying the Captain America launch ring. Is this possible that that was the cause. Worked perfectly before I patched this today.
Help! I don't want a new phone as it will come with 2.3.4 not rootable.

2.3.4 is definitely rootable. And I don't think a ring would change that much. Have you tried flashing a New radio?

I tried flashing new radio. No difference.
I just can't believe that the sense link patch would have actually physically damaged the radio and killed the system, but I cannot get anything to "activate" the radio. In manual program mode ##778, the display settings say "radio version 1.09.01.0622", so the software should be there. But it cannot find the hardware.
I have matched my NAM settings and Home SID to the same as my wife (her phone is fine).

Try flashing this Radio. It's the last one on the list.

No difference whatsoever! So what do you think has happened and how and why? How could flashing the Captain America htc unlock ring have caused such destruction?
Any how could it fry or totally immobilize the radio? I really do not want to replace the phone, but am giving up hope for a solution. It's got to be either something very simple, or the radio did get fried.
And I still don't see where I can unlock and root 2.3.4 on this forum or at the Revolutionary site.

Well...... Was the lockring made for your specific ROM and phone? If not, that may be why.
Have you tried any other ROMs to make sure it's not just something interfering in the ROM itself?
To root 2.3.4, you have to downgrade the hboot v.98 to v.97 following these steps found here.

Link came from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1135020.html
SHould this have bricked the radio??
Can you resend root 2.3.4 link, as the one above goes back to the radio instructions.
Many thanks.

Post edited so the link for 2.3.4 root should work. But, yeah, that's for Thunderbolt, not the DINC2. Try flashing another ROM or full wipe/reflash of VU 2.39. Don't apply any mods until you find out if it works, and see if someone can port the lockring to the DINC2.

Wiped twice regular and dalvik, installed the clean ROM for phone I had saved. DEAD Radio. Bummer, but thanks for you help.
Mobile Network Type= unknown
Service State= out of service
This has not changed with any fixes I have tried.

What about the .722 radio?? Earlier you said you had the .622 radio which is an older one. If that doesn't work, boot into hboot and factory reset (I think this works). Then you'll probably have to re-root. Otherwise, you can get a new phone, and root via the downgrade.

Absolutely no solutions anywhere. Tried everything twice! New phone on the way. Very frustrating situation.

[Q] Can't Connect to Mobile Network after Custom ROM Flash

Hi all, so I'm in quite the predicament. I can't seem to reestablish a mobile connection via Verizon at all since I've overwritten the stock ROM with Cyanogen. I have Inc2, now loaded with CM7, awaiting some help.
First I unlocked the bootloader and flashed CWM Recovery.
Next I flashed Build 4 CM10 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934288 <--check it out here.
I couldn't establish any network connection whatsoever. So i wiped and flashed CM9 with the hopes it would be more stable. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932573 <--again check that one out.
Again, no network connection. Lastly, I reverted to CM7 (because it was the last stable release directly from Cyanogen). http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Vivow_Info <--looky here.
I've searched far and wide, trying everything possible. From simply switching on/off airplane mode to manually typing in the Verizon APN. I just can't establish network connection now...and the kicker - I forgot to backup the stock ROM so I'm currently stuck. Please help
This thread may be of some help. Didn't do me much justice however. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691017

Bumping. Somebody please help...Also if anyone has a stock ROM they could share, that'd do fine as well. I'm curious if stock ROM would re-enable the radio (if that's the actual problem).

Have you tried changing your mobile network? Settings > more> network mode

Been there. You can try different radios from here, but BE CAREFUL. Take the following precautions:
Because you're on Verizon, only download 'x.x.01.xxxx' radios.
After putting the ZIP file on the SD card, verify the MD5 hash to ensure the file didn't get corrupted during download or during transfer to the SD card.
Plug the phone into your charger before installing. You don't want it shutting off during install.
Don't flash the same radio that your phone already has installed.
If all else fails, try the stock 2.3.3 RUU from HTC. If you can find a working download link to that, please share.

I've tried everything in the books. Manually setting my APN according to the Verizon settings. Also did trial and error booting and rebooting each network type to no avail.
A few things I noticed in the CM9 ROM (maybe bugs?):
The preferred network mode typically defaults to GSM/WCDMA upon reboot
The APN I create often disappear upon reboot.
Mobile Networks>Network Operators will either search endlessly or sometimes find both AT&T and T-Mobile as options, both of which won't actually connect as I have a Verizon SIM.
And in response to Slinkwyde:
To verify the MD5 hash, what needs to be done more specifically? (I'm learning as I go ) Did flashing a radio do the fix for you? I'll try this suggestion and post results.

Yes, verizon sim card. I'm in the USA. And I believe I am supposed to be using GSM but I don't fully comprehend the differences between each type. However I have tried setting each type in system settings>mobile networks with no data showing at any point.

Yes, flashing a radio worked for me. The simplest way would be to use an MD5 checker app. Use the app to make sure the file on your SD card matches the MD5 value given in the radio thread I linked to.
One more precaution: Don't ever flash the same radio version that your phone is already using. That caused problems with the original Incredible and might also cause problems with the Incredible 2. To see what radio version you have, go to Settings and look around in About phone, Phone info, or something to that effect. "Baseband" is another word for radio.

Short version: For Verizon, you want CDMA with EvDO.
Longer overview: CDMA vs GSM, and what it means for the Incredible 2
Verizon Wireless and Sprint use CDMA. AT&T and T-Mobile use GSM. CDMA is popular in the United States, but around the world GSM is far more common. All GSM phones use SIM cards, but most CDMA phones don't. The two kinds of CDMA phones that do have SIM cards are world phones (phones with both CDMA and GSM) and LTE phones (faster data speeds).
The Incredible 2 is a world phone (without LTE) and comes with a Vodafone SIM for overseas travel. This Vodafone SIM also has Verizon Wireless branding on it. The Verizon Wireless company is jointly owned by Verizon and Vodafone, a European carrier based in the UK. Verizon world phones have to be unlocked to use AT&T or T-Mobile, because Verizon doesn't want their customers switching to a competitor.
SIM cards make it easy for GSM users (not you) to use their carrier account in another phone. They can just swap the SIM. For CDMA carriers (such as Verizon), swapping service to a different phone requires contacting the carrier.

You don't need the sim card at all then, you're CDMA. If you're not on it already i would recommend flashing the latest ics firmware, it can be found in the ICS leak ROM thread posted by nitsuj17 , it includes the newest radio

Okay so what you both are suggesting are to just install the firmware, assuming I am already running the CM9 ROM? Because the firmware includes the radio. And this is done by renaming the firmware to PG32IMG and flashing it through hboot? Would this be an easier course of action than installing a radio alone? My phone is S-ON and if I'm correct, S-OFF needs to be active to install a radio.

Yes, you can install the firmware to get the radio, and the file name needs to be PG32IMG.zip for hboot. S-OFF is generally required for this sort of thing, yes.

I'm currently trying to downgrade Inc2 so I can S-Off in order to flash either new firmware or radio. I am following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726134 and cant seem to download the necessary RUU 2.3.3 for Inc2. It seems as if the downloads link is dead. Can anybody link to such a file? I cant seem to find one anywhere.
EDIT: Found a stock (or as close to stock I could find) ROM for INC2 >> http://d-h.st/I2g

Also, I may have a potential reason as to why I'm having this ***** of a problem. I originally unlocked bootloader using the HTCdev tool. At the time it was my understanding that the process did not matter as long as the results were the same. However it seems now that using their tool makes it so you can't flash radios and need to extract and separately flash ROM kernels. So does this mean flashing any of the CM ROM's I tried never included the radio portion?
Just stabbing at ideas. Feel free to verify/call me out.

Roms NEVER include a radio, its always separate. something weird has happened to you, I'm sure flashing new radio would fix it for you but you're dev unlocked which is gay Lol. When you flashed the cyanogen ROMs did you pull kernel and flash like you were supposed to, if not i can't believe you got it to boot but that may be a problem also.

If it helps, here is the process that I have used every time I flash anew ROM, working every time (excluding the radio of course.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujFWZbgj6bY
Because I HAD (I actually just reverted back and am currently getting S-OFF to flash a radio) the HTCdev unlock, I manually booted the boot.img after entering recovery and wiping/formatting all the necessary things. Skimming the video might give you a better idea.
However I'm now hoping S-OFF will allow me to reroot, flash CWM, CM9, and of course a radio. Currently in the process of trying to run Revolutionary.

[Q] Unlocked Sprint update

Hello everyone!
I would greatly appreciate if someone could show the right way to get my phone fully functional;
SPRINT HTC ONE M8
GSM SIM UNLOCKED for use on GSM networks
S-OFF
Rooted
TWRP
HBOOT 3.18.0.0000
RADIO 1.08.20.0612_4
CID-11111111
software version: 2.16.654.4
android: 4.4.3.
Issue:
1. I can not install any OTA updates, and the notification keeps popping out.
2. Mobile data is just not working properly even though I did everything as said here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-one-m8/general/enabling-3g-umts-countries-t2847461
As I did my research, it was some kind of a major bug on this series of Sprint M8 phones with breakdowns in mobile data. However, since I can not get any updates, the problem perists.
I tried installing custom ROM's, but so far ARHD 22 didn't even boot and LiquidSmooth couldn't detect the SIM card at all.
I know there are quite a few tutorials and "how-to" threads explaining all you need to know about RUU, cusotm ROM's, etc. However if someone could tell me what exactly to do and in which order (return to stock, then update?) I would greatly appreciate it.
Many many thanks!

Easiest way to get it back to stock is just flash the Sprint H/K RUU. You can download it from HERE. Just run it and connect your phone when prompted and follow the instructions (I'd probably change your CID back to the Sprint one first to be on the safe side but as you're S-OFF it shouldn't be needed). You might also need HTC Sync Manager installed. If so, you can get it HERE
This process will wipe the phone completely so back up any data first but other than that you'll at least be back to stock and then troubleshoot any issues from there

Thanks
Many thanks to everyone.
Any chances of loosing the SIM UNLOCK when going back to stock completely?

Nope, that shouldn't be touched but as I've not had a SIM-locked device in years I can't say for certain

You can or you can go to the Sprint android development and flash the updated recovery since you are s-off and it'll permit you to flash lollipop roms without many issues but there is still the files that need to be modified for ARHD to work correctly like the boot.img and a few others.

Power+vol up for about 15 seconds then power+vol down to get into recovery. You cant flash it unless you swap out Sprint specific files otherwise you'll get what just happened or boot directly into boot loader.
Like I mentioned I can pull the files together and see if I can get it working for Sprint tonight when I get home but until then flash either fluent Rom or stock if you want lollipop or just flash bad boyz if you don't mind kitkat

For me, the biggest issue is the mobile data breakdowns... I know I read somewhere a while ago it was an issue with some Sprint M8 models. I would like to get everything working w/o problems since it is GSM unlocked, and via QPST I unlocked all the bands.

Data stuck at 2G on T-Mobile

I just bought a factory unlocked htc one m9 and plugged the sim card in.
After cache partition wipes, two hour-long customer support calls, a factory reset, and a bottle of Tylenol, nothing happened.
(Okay, I'm joking about the Tylenol.)
The big issues are that the only mobile network operator detected in settings is AT&T, and that I can not change any APN settings (though they are T-mobile anyway, so that shouldn't matter.)
The T-mobile rep and I both checked, and the phone IS compatible with the t-mobile data bands in my area, so there is no physical reason that it shouldn't work.
Any help with this would be massively appreciated!

Now that you've restarted, try going into the network settings and manually choosing T-Mobile.
(Settings, Mobile Data, Network operators, search for networks)

It doesn't find anything other than AT&T.

I'm guessing that choosing the automatic option dues any good.
My next move would be to redo the setup process.... probably by resetting the phone. I'm off to Google the issue and see if anything comes up.
[EDIT] Before you do that, double check that your network mode is set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto. Anything else will (artificially) limit you to 2G or 3G [/EDIT]
[EDIT #2] T-Mobile has the APN information for manual input. It may be worth trying to create a new APN profile to see if that makes a difference [/EDIT]

I tried both of those. Now I'm having issues even just connecting it to my computer over USB. (HTC site says there's a software update that I think might help, but the phone isnt detecting it)

Ah. Probably worth applying the latest RUU. The executable is here - best to install it with your phone connected to your computer in download mode. Alternatively, you can use the SD card method, though you'll have to search around for the Android 7 Rui zip file.

I think I'm going to have to use the SD card method - the m9 keeps disconnecting randomly over usb and if that happens during the install.... I'd really like to not brick the phone.
I've been looking around all over google and can't seem to find a .zip for the update, I found one in a thread on here (still can't link things yet, under ten posts) but the download site said file not found.
In addition, do I need to use S-Off before trying the update? In some of the forums that was mentioned but I think it was for a different version of the phone. HTC has the update files and doesn't say anything about it, but it also doesn't say anything about updating over SD card.

Head on over to the General forum and check out the thread by Flippy498 about stock ROMs. It should be a few posts in, but the zip file is linked!

For anyone else having this type of issue - even though they're all unlocked, some versions of the htc one m9 (potentially other phones by HTC as well) are produced in different regions. The Taiwanese version does not have band 12, and others potentially lack other bands.

Oh dear. I assumed that you were referring to the unlocked version sold directly from HTC, as opposed to a branded M9 (produced for a specific carrier & region) that had subsequently sim-unlocked.

My pleasure. Did you end up successfully getting the phone on T-Mobile?

Nope! I'm trying to unlock the lte bands before using S-off (just because it doesn't seem like anyone's tried it yet.) I'll post results as soon as I finish trying, but it's slow-going.

Can't connect to my home network carrier

OK, I install the RR Nougat 7.1.1 android version on my htc one m8. I have been using it for a while now without issues,
but just yesterday, my phone had low battery and it turn off.
After restarting the phone, could not connect it to my home country network.
I can't access the carrier settings menu as the 'com.android.phone has stopped' pops up.
I have most tuts on the forum but not much help. Even factory reset does not work.
After factory reset, Sprint apns settings are on the apn setup menu but after i delete them, still can't connect to my home country network carrier.
Please some help here guys.

Try flashing the ROM again, to try to get the "process has stopped" error to keep coming up.

Does this mean you have your local network's APN info entered, or no?
Do you have voice service at least?

Well tried that several times but to no avail

Yeah, I deleted the sprint APNS and registered that of my local network carrier but still no avail

Then this has nothing to do with APN, since voice service does not rely on APN (APN only applies to data cell service).
A few folks have had this issue of "no SIM" and no service after letting the battery die on the Sprint version M8. But I'm not sure what the solutions is. You may search around, as I know the issue has been posted a couple times recently. I suggested the Sprint RUU for one user. But it inexplicably caused the device to brick.

If s-off, try a lower level (such as kitkat 4.4.2 or 4.4.3) Sprint RUU and see if that helps.
You can only try this with s-off. If s-on, you can't "downgrade" (run older RUU then version presently on the phone) by RUU as it will fail the version check.
Also, don't flash any other carrier version RUU (only Sprint) as doing so with s-off may lead to permanent damage on a Sprint device due to incompatibility (even on a properly working Sprint M8).

I downgraded right down to version 4.2.2 with s-off and still could not solve it. Guess will just have to get a new smartphone and strike off htc products on my wish list

The main issue, is that you bought the wrong version for your location. It's my strong opinion, that the Sprint version should never be bought by anyone except those using the US Sprint network. It's intended primarily for the Sprint CDMA network.

Yeah, your probably right, but I learnt that by flashing a new radio (radio frequency in HTC phones directly installs the network carrrier base band) can solve it but can't get the right radio image. Though am not a 100% sure but have tried some radio images but still no result.

If you are talking about radio images from other (non-Sprint) versions of the M8; radio from any other version is not compatible, meaning it won't work with the Sprint version, and can possibly lead to a permanent radio brick. This is for the same reason as I previously cautioned you not to run RUUs for another version M8.
If you are talking about flashing different radios specifically intended for the Sprint M8, that isn't any different from trying the various Sprint M8 RUUs (which install different radio image along with every other partition).
