Helium

Recovery - Twrp

Same problem here and with a Helium too. And I just read another post about a user in our same predicament. I was on RR Marshmallow (heck of a rom) and Tmobile just went to Edge (E) and H+ never came back. Just like that. Rebooted, updated the rom, flash the data fix and ultimately flashed Lineage because I tought it was rom related but alas, the problem still persists. Could it be a tmobile thing? I'm in NYC by the way.

Same here, the phone is stuck on Edge. From what I've read, on 7-11 T-Mobile shut off HSPA+ on band 2 (or something to that nature) so I'm pretty sure the Max will only get edge now.

Yes. Several users on Reddit confirmed this. The switch happend this past Tuesday in NYC which is why it happened so suddenly. I am screwed big time now :/ Time to sell the phone, I guess. Thanks for your help and your hard work btw. Your roms are something to admire

4G won't stay connected

I've tried all sorts of roms, AOSP and Sense, they all stay connected to 4g for a few minutes at most after a reboot and then go back to 3g.
Everything else works fine, and my sim works good in other phones and stays on 4G.
Any idea what this could be or what is causing this?
Have you updated to the latest firmware? If your using kitkat roms, you need kitkat firmware. You can find the firmware in the second post of santods stock rom thread in development. Use the no boot.img one.

Yea I've flashed those also. Everything used to work fine until that roaming display issue. Never returned to normal for me, even tho roaming is gone.
Have you ever ruu'd back to stock and then done a factory reset from hboot? That is the only way to wipe out the network settings and force them to be updated. Worth a try i guess.

I guess that's my only option, thought maybe I'd be able to avoid it.
I'll try tomorrow and update.
Tried to ruu back to stock yesterday and still getting the same results. No 4g after a few minutes.

I'm not getting 4g at all on my phone. I came here to post a question and saw yours, so thought posting another thread would be pointless.
I've got NusenseSIX RC4.5 running and while the 4g icon comes on, there's no data transfer at all. I flashed the new firmware first, as instructed, and that seemed to go just fine according to the directions. But, when I swapped my sim card from my other One and waited a few minutes, even *228'ed, no data.
I got the phone already rooted and s-offed with TWRP 2.7.0.1. How do I get it back to stock to clear out the network settings? Or could it be a bad firmwware flash, so I'm screwed anyway?
EDIT: I redid everything, and just stuck with the Sense 5.5 mostly stock ROM. Data works now. Might've been firmware, might've been the ROM on my phone. Zero idea.
Is it possible to have a bad sim?
I just got a replacement device and I still cannot get 4G service for more than about 2 minutes before it switches to 3G

Sure, you can have a bad SIM, but I don't think that'd cause the drop in data transfer rate... lack of data all together, or other things not working, sure, but if you can actually catch a 4G link and then it drops to 3G, sounds more like the radios, the hardware, or just a bad coverage area. I'm no expert, though.
In case anyone was wondering, I ended up getting a new SIM and that has fixed my 4G issue. No idea what was wrong with the SIM, but anyway it sucked.

[Q] (RESOLVED) Slow 3G since installing Cyanogenmod

Hello,
I've just got a Nexus from my father.
Unlock and rooting are OK.
I've made a backup of my stock rom
Then I've installed a cynogenmod 4.4 and see that my 3G download speed is very slow (arround 5Ko/s)
Then I've returned back to my stock rom -> same issue.
I'm in France using Free Mobile (which is using roaming)
Please help me!
EDIT: RESOLVED
I've tryed a new SIM Card and the speed is OK.
Next I used my old sim card, the speed is OK too.
Strange...
I really need help because I am unable to get a good 3G connection.
Have reinstalled the last radio -> nothing
Have reconfigured APN -> nothing better
Really need help, take 1h to dl 20Mo
EDIt: The signal is full
Someone could help me ?
I've found that the issue happens only when I'm in roaming.
If I am connected directly to my provider antenna, no issue.

Its probably just an issue with your operator, the ROM most likely doesn't have to do anything with it, especially as you said if you flashed the stock radio.

Sorry but no, like I said, it worked before the flash, and now, it is not working anymore.
In same time, it works really well with my 2nd phone, with the same sim card.

[Q] disappeared LTE all firmware

What is done:
first I flash 30B bump, the problems starte. then flash 30B LGUp, flash 21a and 21c, change band in ingeneering menu, delete lteconfig, flash 30b bump with modems: 21a, 21c, 30b hybrid, change of operator, manual config APN, manual search network. All this does not help.
Any ideas?
no ideas?
Idem.
But after reboot 4G is ok, but again...every morning i lost signal 4G...only 2G/3G is ok. So..reboot & 4G is up......disappointed.
Same on my G3. I downgrade from MM to LP but problem persist.
Same here....tried rollback to kitkat stock, LP stock, CM12, Cm13, and some other roms with no luck....have just flashed stock LP for repair...
so today I tried swapping my SIM with my friend's
he is using G3 with stock 21A, and his SIM is of the same carrier as mine
after swapping, I found that my phone (and of course his phone, too) is working normally
my phone is normal even after swapping back
did some different tests like switching on and off with 3G, LTE etc., everything is normal, at least at this moment
Still working with you? So it is sim card fault? With me after searching networks everything seems to be ok, but I couldn't connect with LTE. Only sometimes successfull connection.(once a day and after reboot same...) Very strange. :/
I lost network signal randomly... i tried with 30b hybrid modem, 21a, 21c... kdz method, twrp bumped rom... and doesnt help me at all.. my network signal gets a rotating circle randomly... and in that time my phone is out of coverage... it is .... hundred times in a day... i dont know what to do, please help
same here when i use sucks 30b D855, but now everything is ok with me.
Steps that have been followed:
downgrade to lollipop 5.0
install CandySIX Rom , then try to connect to my carrier network , at the first time it not give me anything , but when i reboot my phone , LTE appears and everything fine
back to CloudyG3 2.5 then i found that the problem resolved
My phone now works well
OKAY, i found a solution to the problem and here is what i found :
Pacote-san said:
Same here...
Edited: Fixed this deletings the folder LTEconfigs on System/app
Had to then configure it to auto GSM/WCDMA then switch back to LTE auto
It connected at first with 3g then it went LTE and worked normally

Some people got their phones back to normal by flashing some roms (like CM, ACIP, stock, etc.), but that didn't work for mine
not sure if it was sim card fault, but my problem solved (at that time i was back to LP stock 20h) after swapping my sim cards with my friend's.
i am still using that sim card at this moment, working fine since last thursday
Same problem here, have signal drops on MM roms with LTE connection.
Tried all methods above, nothing really helps .. ;((
The signal is fine on LP roms, tho i installed N&N so i was able to change network type to GSM/WCDMA auto, having steady signal now, but missing LTE speed, trying to find solution to fix this, but unfortunately for now.
Same, my G3 doesn't recognize my sim sometimes or it just loses signal randomly, making the smartphone almost useless.
I tried CloudyG3 2.5 Lollipop, then upgrading to Marshmallow with many radios flashed (also the hybrid one) , then I tried to come back to a stock Lollipop ROM and the signal is always unstable. I'm going crazy due to that. I'm starting to lose hope too.
I think I've tried every possible solution to the connectivity problems I've read since flashing 30b.
Freezing LteConfigs gave me more stability, but didn't solve the problem completely. Tried editing the build.prop to force LTE as preferred network type, this didn't change anything. Don't even know how many times I've changed my apn settings.
Tried every combination of modems possible: 21a/c modem with 30b rpm/tz, pure 21a/c, pure brazilian 20c, brazilian 20c with 30b rpm/tz and nothing. Changed sims multiple times, didn't work.
The only way to get a reliable connection is to limit the phone to 3G... but that isn't a solution since I pay for unlimited 4G. If I let the phone in auto mode, the instant it tries to connect I lose all connectivity and it would take up to 2 minutes searching for the network.
I'll flash the stock rom today and if it doesn't work I can safely say it should be a hardware problem.

I had exactly the same problems I tried all of the solutions mentioned modems/roms/etc but what solved it for me was flashing the Pure stock MM kdz now no signal drops or 4g problems.

Did you root after flashing the kdz? I'll try with pure 30B but having no root is almost as bad as no 4G.

No not rooted it yet, to be honest I don't like the kingroot app it looks way too suspicious to me + the rom is smooth and stable at the moment so I thought I would stick with stock for a while.

Elephone p8000. I think i messed up bad.

Ok so i got the phone is stock form with android 5.1 and a few bugs common to this phone( screen flicker and poor wifi speed). I read more than a few forum posts that said flashing the rom to various other roms would fix it and this wasn't my first modded phone so i did. I am not too sure these flashes took as android looked and acted the same as well as had some of the elephone software. It did however screw up the phones imei. after a google search i reset the imei. I no longer have the invalid imei message but now i have a big NO SERVICE message. This is the us market phone. I really hope you cant somehow change the frequncy bands by flashing the rom. any help would be awesome.
Ps. the screen still flashes.
edit: ok tookjfer671's advice and flashed the us rom. it killed the imei (again) so i reset the imei. now somehow the imei numbers got on the wrong sim cards. They are backwards. will this affect anything ? they wont reset at all.
Edit 2 I guess you can mark this one as solved. The reflash with the us ROM worked but the backlight still flickers. Not a launcher issue the entire screen goes dark and its random.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ele.../rom-p8000-version-b-baseband-l1-mp3-t3322615
Yup, I believe the US version B doesn't have any other alternative custom roms to flash...although you can root. Version A (Asia/Europe) regions have a whole lot of roms to choose from...it would've been nice if we could flash those as well and keep the baseband out of it so we don't lose network connections.
Anyways...I flashed as well a version A rom and found myself with a no connection to my network (everything else worked fine), flashed the link above and got device back to full working order. Hope it helps you out.

i'll give it one more shot. btw did you use flashtools or recovery?
Sorry for late reply...I was rooted with the A version and on TWRP recovery, flashed stock recovery then flashed B version and now on CWM recovery. All using flashtools.

Mi Max not showing sim signal No Service

Hi guys,
I've got a Mi Max 64gb, it was working ok and then it auto updated to MIUI 9 and now i get no signal. If I go into setting, it will show my sim name (three) but thats it. It has no signal and I thus can not make or take calls. The status bar at the top says no service.
I purchased the phone second hand and everything was working fine so did a blacklist check just in case and both IMEI come back clear. Also when I switch from fin network automatically to manual, it will find a few networks but will no connect.
Anyone know what can be wrong? Phone has locked bootloader fyi.

Ok so I got permission and unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and installed RESURRECTION REMIX 5.8.5 for hydrogen but its still showing no signal. Is there a way to check what can cause the problem as I've tried swapping sim trays (have a faulty one as spares).

I really have no idea what your problem might be, but the panacea in all weird cases, irrespective of the particular symptoms, seems to be to fastboot flash a official global stable rom with the Miflash tool.
Then you have hopefully a base "known state" to start from.
If you still have no signal, you might well have a hardware problem.

Hi,
I'm not any kind of expert at these kinds of (radio signal) problems today, though I do have a background in communications electronics construction (c.a. 1980's !)
If you did a complete format of everything before flashing the ROM, and it still doesn't work, I would guess you have a hardware problem.
Of course you want to double-check that your sim cards work in other phones.
I've had some rather weird problems caused by simcards.
You should even ask for a completely new simcard from some provider, and not put it into any other phone first.
How you could go about verifying that you truly have a hardware problem, without handing it over to a service center of some kind for testing, I really don't know.
Perhaps someone else has expertise in this area?
Otherwise, you just write it off as a loss, or sell it on Ebay for whatever you can get.
same with me. my phone not showing signal. the simcard is working before. it show no simcard after i flash twrp and supersu. the problem happen after restart phone. now i'm stuck searching this solution. help me.
