No Network or Phone access After Rooting

Friend of mine rooted her phone with Unrevoked 3.3x, and there's now an "x" above the network signal meter showing there's no access to the network.
She has the superuser icon now, Im assuming that she's rooted and GTG on that end.
There's no access to the phone, cant dial #228, nothing.
Suggestions?
Thanks!

Try shutting down, pulling battery, reboot phone maybe?

Tried it, NADA.

Well, the only thing I can think of to try is to either: flash the RUU to return back to stock and start over; or download and flash another ROM through ClockworkMod Recovery to see if that makes a difference.

toggle "airplane mode"?
go into settings > wireless & network settings and then mobile networks and turn it off. then go back and turn on airplane mode. reboot and turn off airplane mode and turn on you network again and see if that forces it back on. please report back

I ended up putting another ROM on it, CM7.0 and the bars came back after making sure that it was listed as having access to the network via the airplane option.
Thanks guys, I ( and she ) appreciate the effort.

[Q] Brick? (Phone won't stay in download mode)

Hey guys, I'm not sure if my phone is dead. It was running fine this morning, Task & Ktoonsez' AOKP with Ktoonsez kernel. However, I tried to unlock it a little while ago and it wouldn't go on. It boots to the splash screen, both normally and going into recovery, but it doesn't last long enough to go into recovery or boot normally. I try to boot into download mode and it boots, but the phone turns off after a few seconds.
I tried to flash back to stock in Odin, but the phone doesn't stay in download mode long enough for the flash to finish.
I'm not sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

Pretty sure if it was bricked it wouldn't boot into download mode at all. It sounds like it is losing power or something. The only thing I can think of is maybe your battery is bad. Download mode can run off of USB power if you remove the battery after booting into it. Maybe plug your phone in and boot into download mode, then take your battery out before it shuts off and see if it stays on.

No dice. It just did the same thing it's been doing. I went into download, popped the battery, it stayed in download for a few seconds, and then powered off.
Could it be a faulty power button? The phone is constantly vibrating by itself and if the power button was messed up it could be causing the phone to leave download mode.

As far as I can tell pressing or holding the power button in download mode will only restart it, but won't shut it off. Also it takes about 10 seconds. I don't think it's your power button.

Ah, okay.
In that case, though, I have no clue what's causing the problem here. At this point the only thing I can do is enter download mode for a few seconds, but I can't get it to be enough time to flash a ROM in Odin.

Might be a dumb question... Is your battery charged? I'd plug it in for a while off and see if the battery logo comes up and than try putting it in recovery or download.

I tried that too. It's been plugged in for a while and the same thing happens. It just stays in download mode for a few seconds and then turns off. Also, I tried flashing back to stock in Odin but it failed because the phone turned off before the flash could finish. Now the phone says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select Recovery mode in Kies and try again."
So it's basically stuck in download mode cause of a corrupted flash. If I could get the phone to stay in download mode, I could flash it back to stock with Odin, but it's not giving me enough time at this point.

I'm running into the same problem currently, I was wondering if you were able to find a solution. Same ROM same Kernel. I've been using my current version of the ROM since October and haven't flashed anything recently, It just died on me last nigth and now I'm experiencing what you are as well. I was able to turn on the phone somehow last night but it stayed on for couple of mins and turned off again. At the time I had 60% charge.
Thanks

Unfortunately not. Sent my phone back to AT&T and they honored the warranty (despite it being very clear that I was rooted and on custom software).

Thanks. I got the phone when it launched so it's been over a year hence I'm well over the one year manufacturer warranty. Doubt they'll honor it for me =/.

Bad news, It's not about software, it's a hardware issue.
I had that issue with a Sprint S3,
The power button switch is stuck pressed all the time, you can try to hit it a little and maybe it pops out but the issue is gonna still there.
If you remove and insert the battery does it vibrates and tries to turn on without pressing the power button?

yup I just realized it was the power button issue. I managed to fix the problem[kind of], i kept trying to get into download mode while connected to AC Adapter with official charging cables. And it stayed in download mode long enough for me to go back to stock ROM. I'm just trying to avoid hitting the power button as much as possible because every time I do something goes crazy and phone turns off.
I'm gonna try and go to AT&T store tomorrow to see if they can do anything about this.
Thanks again for your help. I really appreciate it.

You're welcome. Good luck dude :thumbup:

Are you using a custom ROM or stock? The best thing to do is start from scratch. I would use the one-click to get to either GB27 or FL24 and go from that. It definitely sounds like a software issue.

How to revive a dead note 7?

I am one of those who suffer the continuous reboots, bootloops etc, and the other day was impossible to use the mobile with normality.
Decided to turn it off until Samsung's collect.
Problem, I have personal data within that I should like to save and today I decided to turn on the phone, and to my surprise it dont turning on.
I tried everything, power button, vol - and button, upload... nothing.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.

Hi apologies for being the bearer of bad news but this problem just cannot be fixed. I've had the same problem for the past 10 days. Constant bootloops follow by an eventual brick. DM verity error. I used Odin to try to reflash the firmware and .managed to get it to the install screen on the phone. The install died at 32%, that failed effortt got it to a state where I was able to try and emergency firmware recovery via smart select and ended up installing to 100? on the pc but on the handset screen got stuck at 32? again. The phone went back into a bootloops and after the second boot the DM verity error was back. Please don't waste any time on this mate it cannot be fixed and you will get zero support from Samsung as they're only interested in sweeping this first batch of handsets under the rug. Hope you get your data back some of it may be backed up to the your Google account with any luck.

Keep it connected to a Fast Charger (Under observation - of course) and let it switch on. At this point I'd say focus on deleting them rather than trying to recover them. When the device gets enough juice for a flash, Use odin and Flash TWRP. Then delete all partitions from TWRP through WIPE option, and then power down the unit and hand it over to Samsung.

Did I brick my phone?

Hey guys,
So ive spend the past day trying to get Nougat on my 10.
I started by following sneakys instructions and got Vipers ROM installed but then realized that my phone wouldn't connect to Verizons network. With some research realized that I shouldn't have used sneakys firmware and used the Verizon FW, Radio, Hboot Nougat updates.
Ended up running a RUU to get the radio issue resolved, flashed Vipers Nougat ROM and everything was peachy except the Home button didn't work. Found a post that it was a firmware issue, tried flashing sneakys FW update and TWRP, when I was flashing that the phone shut off, and hasn't turned on since.
Tried fastboot reboot, Vol Up + Power, Vol Down + Power, Power, No response. No charging light.
Any Ideas? Ive heard of some phones going into a coma for a bit, has the 10 have that issue?

Hold vol up, vol down, and power until your phone boots. It will take 20 seconds or so.
The home button/fingerprint sensor issue is known, and there is a fix in the Venom Hub for that.
Anyway, if your can boot your phone up, you can re-flash the Verizon firmware and re-install the ROM. Then go to Venom Hub > Add Ons > Fixes and install the one that says "Enable Fingerprint on old Firmware"

Unfortunately not.
Still unresponsive to any input, or attempted connection. No power/charge light.
Took it to Verizon and they're sending me a phone which should be here tomorrow.
Thankfully I have my m8 to use for the time being.
Appreciate your help!
