No Cell Signal in Gingerbread, Froyo, Eclair - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently had a very working CM7 installation. No problems that every other Vibrant user isn't facing. All of a sudden I had a LOT of battery draining (with the build.prop signal mod) so I fixed that issue and I was good to go. Then all of a sudden just a couple hours ago I noticed my signal was very low/no signal at all. Calls kept being routed to my voicemail and texts weren't being received/sent.
I ODIN-ed to 2.1 Eclair and still no signal. Rooted and flashed a 2.2 Froyo mod, still nothing. Re-flashed CM7 and obviously nothing.
Even when I was on 2.1/2.2 I still saw the bootloader images for my Gingerbread roms, so I'm just trying to figure out how to re-flash Froyo bootloaders and I'll figure out the rest myself. Thanks!

I ODIN-ed back to Eclair and did an OTA Kies update to 2.2...It left me with nothing at all. Literally, my Vibrant won't turn on. Even when it's plugged in. I'm trapped in a no-boot cycle

[Q] Sleep of Death Help

I recently went from the original leaked froyo rom to super clean 2.9. Ever since I flashed that rom I have had the sleep of death. When I say that my phone has the sleep of death that is Everytime my phone goes to sleep. I have tried many things...I have tried using odin and flashing back to the original and them putting 2.9 and even going to 2.9.1. I have also went as far as not even installing titanium period. I eventually gave up and tried installing DarkRevenge v3 and am having the same results. I guess my only option is to go back to stock non-froyo. I have read that it is a froyo issue, but can't understand why I never had a problem with the original froyo leak. I honestly believe that I had the same kernel every time. I believe that I first had the froyo leak with DL09 then upgraded to the EB01. Let me add that each upgrade I never used voodoo, nor have I ever used voodoo...to my knowledge. I also went into wifi settings and changed the sleep policy to the plugged in option in hopes of saving battery life and thought it might be what was causing the issue, but it is not after switching back and having the same results.
If anybody has any ideas it would greatly be appreciated. I have tried wiping everything and flashing all roms according to instructions to a "T". If my SOD problem with just once or twice a day it would be tolerable, but every time has got to be a pain, especially since I have to take the phone out of the case and do a battery pull. Of course my battery life sucks, but that is acceptable. I am hoping that someone can help me with this issue before I go back to stock. I really like SC 2.9 and DarkRevenge v3 these roms are sooooo awesome. There again I am scared when I go back to stock I will still get the SOD...I hope not.
Thanks,
Leroy \oo/
Having the EXACT same issue ... any success?
I had to go back to a non froyo rom. I went with dl05 super dark with voodoo5 kernel. It runs great with no sod and awsome battery life with no froyo though. I might do some experimenting this weekend and I will let you know if I find any solutions.

[Q] radio constantly losing signal

hey guys,
havent posted here in a long time, but i have been having some odd problems regarding my fascinate. I recently updated from superclean to the UKB 2.0, then installed the 2.1 patch immediately after. While on superclean i attempted to update my radio, odin'd to various different ones since the phone seemed to have sporadic service and the 1x/3g symbol had basically vanished. so i flashed UKB and noticed even worse radio service, and so i odin'd dl09 on to the phone which didnt seem to help at all and now im at ed04 through CWM. my phone works alright now, with better service but still a data connection that cant seem to hold. and now of all a sudden im constantly losing all bars and its saying i have no service in the same location i was receiving 2 bars.
so i was wondering if anyone has had this problem or can point out something that i did horribly wrong, since it seems the state of the phone's radio has just been decreasing since i started fiddling with it. any thoughts would be much appreciated!
thanks
oh and just noticed that gps is no longer functioning...lol
solved. seems that part of the problem was juice defender which was supposed to only disable data connection when the screen was off, but apparently was toggling full airplane mode almost randomly, even while awake and when trying to send a text.
other thing i did was flash back to stock rom with dl09 to wipe everything, rerooted and updated to UKB, and have done nothing with the radio. ive noticed radio still is functioning subpar to when i was in stock so im confused there but i got functionality back.
gps works now too although i added GPSaids, first few seconds is completely wrong but as it picks up more sats it homes in frighteningly fast to my precise location.
edit: data connection still seems to be dropping only when i start attempting to access data, but that seems to be a new problem
I'm having the same problem, fresh install of ukb 2.0 restart then 2.1.
I have the EC01 Modem,
Signal is all over the place constantly. 3g, 1x, phone only, mostly is 2 bars then 0, back and forth
Wifi is a little weird, so is bluetooth...
I think I'm just going to wait for JT's full CM7...

T-Bolt is reboot central, wait for the OTA update?

So I've had less than stellar luck with this phone. I purchased it and rooted it pretty much on day 1, (this was back in early May) and immediately started seeing some pretty awful rebooting. I switched kernels from Das Bamf's to Imoseyon's, which helped it go from mind-numbing to merely bad (used to reboot EVERY TIME the screen was slept and turned back on, went to happening maybe once an hour)
I switched back to stock, same problem, rebooting literally once an hour. I called Verizon for troubleshooting help and they immediately had me switch it out for a Hardware version 2.0 phone, which I've now had since May 15th. It does work a lot better, but it's still pretty bad. Here's the timeline:
Ran stock for about a week, was seeing 1 reboot every other day, decided to root. Installed BAMF remix 1.7 with the .7/.6 CDMA/LTE radio, which left it pretty much the same, rebooting every 30 hours or so. It's particularly likely to do it when using Navigation or on phone calls. It's not a stress thing, I can run Linpack, quadrant, make calls and surf, whatever, it runs fine at stock speeds, 1.92, 1.92x... and will do so for hours without rebooting (until it does)
Switched to 2.0 w/ the MR2 radio, and the reboots were even worse. Now more like 1-2 times a day. Thinking this was not a radio issue now, I eased down the clock speed (I was running 1.92x kernel) down to stock speeds, no affect. Upped the voltage by switching to 1.92, still no affect, reboots a couple of times day, ALSO with a few random shutdowns thrown in for fun. I tried Standard as well, letting it top out at 1.4, still having the issue.
MR2.5 came out, switched to that, and it became unuseable. Reboots literally every 5-10 minutes, and I tried running it that way for the better part of a day, thinking it was maybe the kernel settling or whatever, but it stayed that bad. I switched back to 2.0 and kept seeing the reboots a couple of times a day, so since they were worse on GB I figured I'd go back to Froyo.
Loaded 1.8 Remix, and the reboots are still happening a few times day. At my wit's end, I decided to go straight back to stock, no root. It ran fine that way for about a day, then randomly shutdown again. It has seemed good so far today, but the random shutdown happening makes me assume it's still not stable.
I really don't think it's a problem with 2 phones in a row, and there's thousands of posts of people experiencing similar problems, so it's not something weird I'm particularly doing. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it, as some people are rock solid with Froyo with the .7 radios, or the .6/.7 combo, or some are fine with Gingerbread MR2, or even 2.5. Me, I have no luck with ANYTHING.
Should I start another ticket with Verizon for another dud phone, or is the promised OTA update really going to do something magical that MR 2 or 2.5 haven't already tried to do to fix this thing?
If it were me Id be screaming at somebody at Verizon. If your sure that nothing u did rooting or flashing roms caused the reboots then get a new phone. Rumors say that gingerbread is coming tomorrow but you can't out to much stock in that and even if it does I doubt there is any miracle code written in that's gonna help you.

Some people have had random reboots on stock rom. But since you were on stock for less than a day, it's impossible to determine whether the reboots are due to a defective phone or something that happened during/after you flashed the custom rom. You obviously know your way around various roms, radios & kernel/cpu tweaks, and nothing seems to help. If you have the patience, go to the IRC channel for more suggestions. If no one there can help, I would restore to stock & exchange the phone. You may have a defective device that will never work right.

[q] gsb 4.2 ics

So I couldn't post on the Devs page...I flashed Worksheds gsb 4.2 2.3.7. Followed the directions to the letter. Really loved the rom but I had serious issues with battery drain. Almost like it was taking away life when I plugged it in and when it was running. Charges fine now that I switched back to Gin-tazz the end. Ive flashed several roms and never had many problems. Any help would be appreciated as I'd really like to switch back.
I'm on gsb4.2 as well but haven't have the battery life problem. I don't use 3g or gps so that might be why.
I am having problems with the Ics theme reverting back to normal theme after rebooting. Also experiencing a soft reboot when I connect to my PC and switch to USB mode. Tried it with usb debugging on and off but no dice still soft reboot.
Don't mean to hijack your question but I can't post anywhere else either and the eris forum is slowly dying.
Based on GSB, this is a common issue; and don't get me wrong GSB is outstanding. However, if you try to re-calibrate the battery it might be beneficial to the battery.
Hope this was useful.

[Q] sudden service problem

I am guessing this is a modem issue. Let me know if it might be something else. I use Calkulin's rom 2.9.2 with modem ek02 on my Epic Touch. I installed 2.9, 2.9.1, and 2.9.2 on the first day they were posted with no problems.
Suddenly today, I have had LOS twice (the no service icon shows.) Other times I dial but no ring on the other end.
Usually, people have problems when they install something new. I am having problems with what has worked for a month or more.
Any suggestions? Shutting my phone off and restarting sometimes helps for a while. Updating profile and prl do not make any difference.
Calkukin's 2.9.2 kernel 2.6.35.7-sph-d710.el29-cl852097, baseband s:d710.10.5.EK02
