Just installed CM7 from Rom Manager and I have no service. I tried turning on airplane mode and now its stuck in Airplane mode! Pulled battery and SIM, but still nothing.
Did you install the correct radio to correspond with the build of CM7 you installed?

Yes but it's flashed via bootloader.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15765065&postcount=8
That includes a link to the OTA mr2 thread also
I am having a similar issue
After doing a backup of the stock rom and installing CM7 I had service but very little compared to the stock rom & radio that got full service in the exact same location. I tried to install the radio for 4g and followed those instructions but then it said my sim wasnt installed. I wiped again including cach and reinstalled CM7. I had to use the above link to get the radio somewhat working again but the service still sucks.
is there another radio out there that will work better?
sometimes when i install a AOSP ROM it'll show no service to. although after rebooting, then it works.
I tried rebooting over and over, never came back untill i pushed the above radio in from hboot. It still shows nearly no service although it does have some. I had the same problem with my inspire 4g untill i found the right radio that worked perfect.
I went across town to the area I get the best service and it still only shows 2 bars max

I came from Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3; performed factory wipe/data reset, wipe dalvik and wiped cache. I flashed the GB Radio via Hboot (update=yes; then updates by doing 2 things, then hit power to restart). I then flashed the ROM.
The first two (2) times I flashed 2.0-4.0 and could NOT get Wi-Fi to work, but I had 3G working no probs as well as GPS. Went out for a couple hours and had no issues. Got Back, and I still could not get Wi-Fi to connect. I reflashed radio..no dice...re-downloaded the ROM, did a complete wipe and reflashed both the ROM and radio. Still would not connect, even after I downloaded Test7 kernel (kernel shouldn't mess with my mobile connection?).
I then went and downloaded 2.0-4.01, and now I can connect to Wi-Fi. Now the problem is that I am stuck on 1x Mobile Data and cannot get 3G. I've re-wiped, reflashed and downloaded Imeseyons new kernel..still stuck on 1x. I have even tried toggling Airplane mode, but cannot get it to 3G connection.
Any ideas?
Dunno if it will make any difference but flash the rom 1st then either battery pull or adb into hboot to flash the radio. Maybe others can confirm if this might help or not.
Not sure if this is the root of your problem, but the directions given by the developers of these gingerbread roms indicate that you should put the rom and radios on the root of sd card, flash the rom first in recovery, don't reboot, get into hboot via adb, then let the radios flash, and reboot. It sounds like you flashed the radios first, and then the rom. Maybe this is causing your problems?

Don't think so, cause I have tried both ways. Also, in Ad's posts he recommended both ways.
Either way, if I botched it the first time, it doesn't make sense that with the same radio I was getting 3g but no Wi-Fi, but now I'm getting Wi-Fi and no 3g.
I reflashed back to Remix 1.6.3 and have 3g+Wi-Fi right away.
And 3g returns..On 1.6.3.

When I wiped and reverted back to 1.6.3 I lost a Superuser file. I decided to re-root and start from scratch.
Re-rooted, then flashed 2.0-4.1 and let it startup. Then shutdown and went into Hboot and flashed GB ROM. Went through a normal startup and I had 1x which after a couple of minutes turned into 3G, but very laggy. I then flashed Imo's 2.5.4 kernel and re-started. 3G came up and speeds were just fine.
A lot of work to get BAMF to work, but I'm happy. Now working on adding Launcher Pro, Fancy Widget and a few other personalizations.
In your opinion do I need to flash the radio.zip after cm7. If so wat does it do for my device? Do I get better service/ faster data speeds?
Thanks, tHe NoOb

I think the radio that you have currently should work well enough.
I had the 1.97.00 radio and found that cwm was giving me a 1 bar issue. Same thing with aosp. And input so I installed the 1.77.30 radio via cwm. Wish I had a cwm version of the 1.97.00 radio just to try while im at work. Seems the 1.77.30 radio switches from H to 3g less in my area than the. 97 radio.
ok, it seems as if my service is pretty good compared to what yours was before you flashed it. ill keep it for now. thanks for the replies
Please help Radio flash
I want to flash the radio to my unlocked and cwm installed atrix 4g. I used to have 2.3.4, 4.5.91 ATT stock software, but went to cyanogenmod 7.
What radio do I need to flash in cwm? There is a radio.zip file on briefmobiles website, I just want to make sure I am downloading the correct one.
I want to flash because it is taking a while to get a gps lock in CM7, where in the stock rom it would happen almost instantly.

Not 100% sure but gps lock on isnt slow because of radio but couz of CM7 i got stock radio and its also slower then on GB. also CM7 doesnt install radio if im not mistaken if u had GB radio u should still have it
what cm says
code.google.com/p/atrix-dev-team/wiki/FAQ CM7 is saying if you are having slow locks to reinstall the radio. I'm just wondering how I can accomplish this through cwm.
WiFi works fine but after upgrading my Eternity ROM I get a "no service" notice and can't make phone calls, etc.
Network
Operator name = unknown
Signal Strength = 0
Mobile Network Type = unknown
etc. etc. etc.
I've flashed and restored other ROMs with no change, still no service so....
I followed the Visionary unroot procedure, installed stock ROM and all is OK.
Re-rooted, all was OK. Restored Eternity ROM, no service, re-installed stock backup, no service.
WTF? All was fine running Eternity 116, the update to 117 seems to be what killed it???

Haven't seen that on this ROM before. But have you tried installing radios? Link is in my sig.

Good idea but...
... I tried with no success until just now, I installed a CDMA radio and it's working but, of course, it's CDMA only? I tried several times to install the latest LTE radio but it just won't install????
I'm off to bed, I'll try older radios later..... any recommendations? Do I NEED an LTE radio? I think I do????
Next question.... How can installing an update to an existing working ROM change the radio because that's what apparently happened?

Believe me, I have no clue how. But it happens. Maybe some phones were Hyundais from the early 90's in another life...
Some people have found success by mixing/matching cdma and lte radios, so I'd start with that. Maybe someone else with more experience will pick up this thread and have a quick answer for you in the am... Sorry I can't help more.

This evening I unlocked my phone and upgraded to CM7 stable. However, as soon as CM7 booted, I saw that I had no bars, and was unable to place calls. Also, when I view the IMEI and baseband version, they both say "unknown". I tried CM7 nightly, as well as fruitcake 4.5.141. Additionally, I tried the 37P and 37P att 12dec2011 radio updates, which did not work either. The wifi works fine.
edit: The radios were flashed with CWM (I wasn't getting any signal pre-flash, FWIW). Also, I wasn't able to save APN's when trying to add them.
Is there anything else to try?

I would look at putting your APN again. If they aren't saving when you've put them in manually, then it's because you aren't putting them in correctly

Just to be sure everything work you can try to flash a known stable CM7 version like Neutrino or TopSmart after a full wipe. Nobody got radio problems on those rom
Hey guys! So I moonshined and got S-OFF on my phone. I first backed up my factory ROM after I wiped all the data so I would have it to go back to in the future if needed, this was done through clockwork mod. So I first tried using the NOS M7 ROM, didn't like that as the home screen seemed too Window's 8 phone like to me. I then tried the CyanogenMod 10.1, I noticed that my phone was only getting 3G data at this point. I was using my wife's new Galaxy S4 that was getting 4G as a comparison to mine. We were traveling through town so it's not a tower based issue, as her phone showed 4G.
I then tried to switch to viperDNA1.3.1 and I had all sort of issues with it. Heck this morning it would not even show me my alarm notification when it was going off to shut the phone up. I had to power it off to silence it. It even stopped showing the notification bar on the top of the screen and I couldn't even do the drag down thing to see notifications and settings.
So today at work I downloaded RageDNA to see if an optimized stock app would work for me, no change..... I even formatted my sdcard to blank it and the did an adb push to transfer the ROM.zip back to my phone.
SO.... between each app I would launch into ClockWorkMod and 1. wipe dalvik cache. 2. format system. 3. wipe data/factory reset. 4. choose the zip from the sdcard (haha like we really have a true sdcard) and wait for the install and then launch into the phone and do the basic setup to get the ROM working.
HELP!!!! (me crying) I am afraid I did something to my phone during the flashing that jacked up the radio causing 4G to be broken. Is there something else you need to know from me to help me out, please let me know!
**********UPDATE**********
I double checked all my phones settings with a coworker who also has a DNA, but still S-ON. Everything is setup the same for settings on the APN's. I even recreated a duplicate APN that used the specified "LTE" network instead of the one that was defaulted on both of ours "unspecified". No change, even rebooted.
I also restored my CWM backup I did before making any changes to my phone via switching ROM's. The only difference is the fact that their network typeshows "LTE" where my shows "eHRPD". I am going to look into seeing how to reflash the radio to see if something got corrupt.
If it comes down to it I am going to reset my phone back to S-ON and reflash everything that I can find that I can do.
*********Resolution*********
After reflashing my radio, I did not get any 4G signal any more, I know Verizon towers were down for 4G near my work so not sure if they moved over to the towers by my home as I only live 10 minutes from work. So only after being at work for about an hour my 4G signal started on it's own without anything done by me today.
So as I was on the path to trying to take it back to stock I followed the guide that Phaded posted for getting back to S-ON http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293919. I had a few issues with that, as it turns out my phone was not showing anything about being "LOCKED" after running his first set of commands. So I pressed forward after talking with Phaded on this situation. I had even flashed from my CWM recovery back to the stock recovery (also notice when running the RUU that it flashes the recovery.) I ran the RUU and then got the 158 error then had to flash the HBOOT. After that flash the phone showed "***Tampered*** & ***LOCKED***". I then proceeded to run the RUU and it completed at that point with no issues. Then the last few DOS commands for fastboot and back to Locked and S-On. I updated back from 1.15 up through 2.06. Also doing so that made me realize you have to step from 1.15 to 2.04 and finally 2.06. So far the 4G is still working. I will keep it stock for a few days to ensure no further 4G issues then I will be moonshining again!!
Just a guess, you may have to flash the boot image. If so the directions are in the install directions for Viper

I just tried to restore my CWM files from prior to any ROM changes. So far I have 3G data, but I tend to get 3G more so at my house than 4G, so not sure if anything will change.
I am wondering if the SIM card could have anything to do with this issue as well.... could a ROM have written to the card and caused it to not read the 4G data, or whatever is on there.
I also see that my phone's network seems to be "eHRPD" not sure if this had anything to do with it or not.
I double checked all my phones settings with a coworker who also has a DNA, but still S-ON. Everything is setup the same for settings on the APN's.

U need a new SIM card. 99% sure that's ur problem. They r free from any Verizon store. Give it a shot before u go thru the hassle of going back to s on and stock.

Too funny that you pointed me to that app, I just found another one LTE Settings.
So I tried your app also and they had the exact same data listed. So here's the screen shots I took from my app I pointed to. My phone will connect to 4G only and only if I choose "LTE only" if I move it to something else either by changing it through the OS settings, or changing it through this app, it goes back to getting 3G service. So at least this tells me my phone isn't broken, just some setting is F***ed up somewhere.
I have tried Global and CDMA/LTE settings with it always showing 3G.
yup that's freaking weird lol swing by a VZW store and get a free sim card since yours seems like it might be messed up what happnes if you flash something like crpalmers kernel though? your boot image might just be all screwed up. his latest version is June 24th.

Yeah weird! I just used the DNA Toolkit v1.0.5, I flashed the 2.06 radio and after it rebooted and what not, I went outside (as I have bad service inside this house) and now 4G won't even connect. Not sure if it's the towers, as the one by work went out around noon today.
So as it's a kernal and not a ROM how do I do that, just the same install from zip file in CWM? Do I need any certain ROM for it? As right now I have the factory one that I backed up with CWM when I did S-OFF. (it was a blank fresh factory reset)

I don't think you would notice the change instantly. You will see in a few hours, especially if you go somewhere, you will be getting 4G - or if you restart the phone.
Further, what you can do is flash the radio.
Here's the file you need to flash: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9yd_oFytDSzUjRpLTZhSFEwWnc/edit
That is a Verizon radio, and it works also with other providers.

When I was at work, I compared a coworkers DNA and he was getting actual LTE signal. So don't think it's that with the eHRDP thing that I keep seeing. But yeah it looks like a "cheaters way" to get their CDMA hardware to work with LTE. lol
Sorry, I feel like a tard and not really following what you are talking about with the "factory" thing. If you mean in the hboot the factory restore, it takes you to the CWM recovery to do that factory restore. Plus the ROM restore seems to almost go through CWM as well, but does it automatically. I'm going to do a full wipe and set this thing back to factory settings. As when it's broke and not working, best thing to do is start fresh.

okay if you do it from hboot it wont do anything cause now cwm will stop that from running but that is the same as running factory reset in cwm, thats not what im talking about though when you first moonshined then booted cwm after getting it, did you run a backup of your factory(stock) ROM? if so it would be in sdcard/clockworkmod/backups it also would have been about 1.5-2GB's. you could also try the radio.img amer is taking about as well, that you need to flash with adb though in fastboot as he stated.
