i have tmobile and i keep getting no service on top, i dont know what to do, im running ICS OTA, and i flashed the eng hboot now i cant get service.
Is that all you really did? Just flash ENG hboot?
yup, lol. it sucks, called tmobile also, was on stock and they just told me to hard reset.
How did you flash the hboot? Via hboot or some other way? Though that's pretty much the easiet.
yep. i can normally fix anything i do to my amaze, but one minute ill have 4G working next thing it reboots, and i can't connect to mobile network, I switch it on and it only says turning on... and it sticks like that. and sometimes if it reboots it just says no service. like at all. i can Tmobile 4 times now. and yet, nothing. weird.
flashing a different hboot has no effect on your signal.
yesh, i know, just thats weird. It started on saturday, and until now, like when im asleep, it'll turn off service, or it'll reboot by itself, wake up saying send report to HTC, and on top where it has the carrier it says NO SERVICE.

Just reflash a stock RUU or restore your backup if you made one, probably messed some file up by accident, somehow.
yeah, i did that. flashed gingerbread, updated to ics OTA, still being dumb.

Open the back of you phone and make sure the contacts are all clean on both the cover and the phone, then try again, if not call tmobile, it's probably a faulty device or something. Never heard of that happening, even after reflashing complete stock.
yeah i know its weird, and i had this device since november, which RUU would you recommend i flash? maybe the one i flashed like you said was faulty,
Once you flash a basic stock, you should be fine, maybe it's a hardware problem, phone fell down anytime lately?

Is your phone dropping calls? Are you Missing call or text? I doubt it, it's not that the ICS OTA made our signal worse, it's just that they finally fixed the signal itself to show exactly what signal we're getting and not just random numbers, as long as no calls are being dropped, etc. Why try to fix what's not broken?
i finally got everything working except for mobile network, my phone would reboot when i would try to refresh my twitter, i saw a thread on someones mobile network not working, im going to see there.
Do you mean your data isn't working? Check your apn settings, mobile network and data are not the same dude.
nothing was working at first, couldnt call of receive, now i can but mobile network is still buggy.

Any ideas? I have a Plain Jane rooted TB that has been stuck in 1X despite (in order):
- rebooting
- pulling battery
- restoring a known good saved ROM from ROM Manager
- toggling enable on RevA
- installing jcase's rooted 1.70.605 OTA and MR2 radio
- factory reset
I am in midtown Manhattan. I should have stellar 3G/4G. Is there anything left to do but return the phone to VZ?

You should check your settings and see if your mobile network is on(obvious answer and I feel like you have probably done that). Make sure you dont have any apps that are turning it off i.e. juicedefender or any other apps that control your mobile network. It could be the ROM you are using so try and use your stock ROM and see if you get 3G/4G in that. Make sure your SIM card is in properly. I do not know if that will be an issue but it could help. Also along with ROMs make sure the ROM you are using is friendly with the radio you are using. I can not think of much else. Google it too and search this forum or others that might help too! Good luck.
The simplest and most obvious possibility that still has to be asked: Do you have the back cover on the phone?

I had the same problem you did. I used Bamf 3.0 and flash the newest leak radio. My phone all of the sudden the next day dropped 3G. I went into the VZ store today and told them my sim card died and they gave me a new one. It working now, so I said unroot your phone like I did and get a new sim card. Make sure you update to their newest software before going into the store.
Seem like alot of people on the forum are saying they are not getting 3G/4G lately after the new radio that was out. I got my radio the day it was leak.

Thanks. But I had my problem before I flashed the new radio. I've been using the original plain jane root from back in March. It worked two nights ago, was stuck in 1X the next morning.
Since I now have the new OTA stock is there an easy way to get it out of root or should I just follow the sticky instructions and go all the way back to original ROM?
Instead of taking it in you could also just give them(verizon) a call. I know they can see if your phone is rooted from there and many verizon workers have theirs rooted and might be able to help you!
Yeah mine worked 2 days ago too but yesterday it died I was using bamf for a while now. I flashed the radio before that too, all of the sudden it just dropped. The guy at VZ store told me that never happened before that a sim card just die like that.

Thanks, but I spoke to VZ last night. The rep was nice and all but said the factory reset should fix the problem (it didn't) He said the next step would be to replace the phone. I might call again tonight to see if I can bump up the tech support ladder to someone more knowledgeable. Still hoping someone here could help me out.
Like I said, I had the original plain jane root that everyone did back in March when the phone came out. No reason for it to suddenly get stuck in 1X the other day.
Ive had that problem twice now. The first time my 4g antenna stopped working for whatever reason. I replaced the battery cover and it worked again for a few days. When it stopped again I called verizon and they sent me a new phone which is probably what youre gonna have to do.
So... VZ is next-day mailing me a new phone. I wanted to exchange it in the city but they said once you have the phone for more than 14 days exchanges have to be done by mail. Still, I'd love to know why the phone died.
Hello all,
I have had no data connection in the last few days. solid signal, but no data. i have done almost everything i can do and still the same result. switched back to Rev.A and i can get 3g "ok", not sure whats up. Any suggestions? I also reflashed the Mr2 radio and no change.
Another thought is my SIM card might have taken a dump. Id be willing to take it into verizon and get a new sim but dont want to unroot, revert to stock. got way to much going on with my phone to just start from scratch again : ( just so i can "try" if a new SIM would work. what would happen if i took my rooted thunderbolt into a verizon store for a new SIM card?. Would they Deny me service?or put a note on my account stating i have rooted and voided my warranty?. Just curious as to what would happen. they would deffidently notice right off the bat because of my sense 3.0 rom, kernal, gingerbread, signal icons,lock ring,signal bars, spash screen, boot animation and sound, etc...
need help guys! thanks in advance! : )
Well I know you said you don't want to but just make a nandroid backup before you unroot and stick it on your pc for safe keeping. Then when you are re-rooted just wipe everything and restore the backup and you are EXACTLY where you were before. Plus with Revolutionary re-rooting takes all of 5-10 minutes.

Talk to the guys there. Get a feel for them... The guys at the shops near me couldn't care less about a rooted device. As long as the software isn't the issue, which a bum SIM shouldn't be, they shouldn't really care. I'd feel them out a bit before assuming unrooting is a must. You might get lucky.
I will send this thread up. This is exactly the problem I am experiencing. The Thunderbolt has perfectly good network signal but data connection is not working. It complains about "SIM card not found" when entering the Settings and APNs. The SIM card is detected by the device otherwise, it's possible to save contacts to it and retrieve them. But 4G data is completely dead.
I visited a VZW store yesterday and received a new SIM card but the problem is still there. I have also tried to reflash to the latest leaked radio without any solution.
The ROM used is the latest Synergy Nightly.
I begin to consider the possibility of restoring the Thunderbolt back to stock and get a replacement but it would be good if this problem can be solved.

I was flashed to ROCKO unlocked, and decided that I want to update my sprint stuff cause I wasn't able to on any custom stock ROM, it would stay on "Contacting Network" when I would try to update. So I SBF'd to 198_7 and unlocked again, and I am still not able to update my data profile or prl, still the "Contacting Network". My phone is activate, it just can't update profile/prl.
If I recall correctly, you have to have sprint push the profile update to you. I've read that people, who do stuff like switch roms get flagged in every their system. I think it was something asking the lines of security precaution. I'm pretty sure once you call, they can get your profile updated, then you should be able to update your prl.

^This exactly. Give sprint a ring. If thats still a no go try letting it activate and update through the Sprint Zone activation and updater app.
Thanks guys.
Would I have to lie and tell them that I never root or unlocked the bootloader/flashed other ROMS?
I've looked everwhere in Sprint Zone, and can't find the updater.
I personally have just told them that I was doing an OTA update and it had an issue or something along those lines lol they wont question too much, or atleast never have for me
IDK, I have trouble lying when it doesn't make sense lol. Could I mention that I'm trying to develops apps and need certain permissions etc. ?

Similar Problem Updating Profile/PRL
I am unrooted and for some reason when I go into the Sprint Zone App it tells me there is a Profile and PRL update but if I choose either it gets stuck in "Contacting Network" and all I can do is reboot.
I spoke to Sprint and they made me out an "eTicket" to take to the nearest Sprint "repair" store but I am without wheels at the moment and kinda hoping someone might know whats going on.
The lady I spoke to said that these was a problem with the nearest tower to me, that it was operating at 3/4 efficiency, and that may be why I can't get my phone to update? Has anyone been told this before and is this something that could be the problem or is it just BS?
She said that most likely I would get a replacement when I could take my phone to the Sprint store.
Someone had a similer problem in another thread and a got a reply from someone asking what their H/W version number was. On my phone under H/W version it says unavailable.
Why would that happen and if I could somehow fix that might that be the ultimate fix to my issue?
Any help would be great...This is really the only problem I'm having. I really like this phone. It is a beast. Being in a 4g area is pretty awesome and being able to get constant 8-10 Mb (outside) is worth every penny. In my house during daytime hours I can only get 2-3 Mb but thats pretty damn cool.
If the camera was just a little bit better at taking low-light pics, this might be one of those "near perfect" phones in my opinion.
By the way, everyone that contributes here is awesome. I love this community and all of XDA.
Thanks
Hello all,
First post on XDA; I've been searching for this issue for the past 4 hours, and found very little. I hope I haven't missed anything.
Long Story
Had a rooted phone, tried to flash JellyBAM; worked, except that kernel got messed up (touchscreen didn't work). Problem remained even after restoring HTC Sense. I assumed it was b/c my phone still had S-ON.
After successfully running DirtyRacun on my Evo 4g LTE, I flashed JellyBAM 7.6.2 (using TWRP 2.4.4.0, wiped Dalvik, Cache, Factory Reset & System first). Everything worked fine, except that there is no mobile network whatsoever. When booting JellyBAM, it prompts me to activate my phone:
"A special call needs to be made to activate your phone service. After pressing 'Activate', listen to the instructions provided to activate your phone."
I do this, but the problem is that I get an automated message: "Your account is not authorized to make calls to this phone number. If you would like to have additional capabilities added to your account, please call Customer Service."
This is the same message I get trying to make any phone call. Nothing (data, calls, etc) works on the mobile network now. I called Sprint to see if they could simply de-active then reactive my phone, but it appears to them as already activated. The tech I spoke w/ thinks I may have deleted the Sprint programming.
This sounds plausible, but what's REALLY WEIRD is that *2 still dials Sprint perfectly, and holding 1 still tries to check voicemail. So clearly some aspects of it connect with Sprint still. I have no idea what's messed up, unfortunately.
I don't believe JellyBAM is the culprit here, b/c after DirtyRacun but before flashing JellyBAM, I still had this problem.
Helpful Info
Android Version: 4.2.2
Radio Version: 1.12.11.1119
Kernel version: 3.0.73-g5d13a2c
JellyBAM 7.6.2
Question
Is there anything I can do to fix this so that my phone can reconnect with and use Sprint's mobile network? I'd really like to preserve JellyBAM, S-Off, and Root, given the amount of time and effort it took to get those working. Thank you so much, any help would be greatly appreciated.
First, try updating your radio.
I'd say to RUU back to stock and see if the problem persists. If it does then take it to Sprint and they should give you a replacement if you have the YEP. I had a similar but not so screwey situation, a few actually, like yours and when I lost all network Sprint replaced my phone. I've always had success dialing my voicemail after attempted activations and then my phone would kick back in within about 15 minutes while keep texting and calling my home phone.

Thank you for your response, I really appreciate the help.
I updated my radio, which went smoothly, but unfortunately it didn't work. What's frustrating is that I don't even know what the problem is. I know it isn't the ROM I flashed (since it had the same problem on HTC Sense before I flashed JellyBAM). It seems to have started after DirtyRacun S-Off process.
I'm still pretty noob so I don't know what else besides radio it could be. I'm really reluctant to try and restore my phone to stock due to the amount of time I spent learning to root and S-Off it. Wouldn't want that to be in vain, though I might not have a choice at this point.
Is there something I should try next?

Before calling sprint, Google the 4g lte dialer codes, I'm sure there is one that activates the wireless reactivation process (that was the case with my old gs3)

I know after achieving S-off, I had to call Sprint due to a security issue. I couldn't make calls or anything.
It was painless and took all of 5 minutes.

So a few days back I decided to install cloudy and messed with the build.prop a little bit. I was having 3g and roaming issues so I decided to try jasmine v2. Same issues there as well. Then I went back to v1.1 and now I'm back on fully rooted stock. My problem is if I fully pull the battery, wait a few seconds, and then boot back up I am able to get 4g for about 10 seconds or so, after which time the phone always mysteriously jumps back to 3g and never leaves from there. Seriously weird. While I was having the issues with Cloudy I dialed *228 because I read something about updating the preferred roaming list (and looking back I realize I shouldn't have done this!), but I always get 4g for a few seconds after booting up still...it just always goes away. Anyone have any useful suggestions?
I'd stop by a verizon store or give them a call and get a new sim card.

I might be stuck doing this, as since Cloudy I've tried Jasmine 2.0, 1.1, the stock root deodex rom by Beans, all with normal wipes and advanced wipes prior to flashing. Lol I even used my Verizon to temporarily switch my phone line to an old crappy non-smartphone I have laying around and then back to the G3 thinking maybe possible that could somehow "restore" proper programming or something, all with no dice! Needless to say, it was a late night at that point.
Then I got to thinking, that maybe the full restore guide here on XDA (that I've used before) might do a more "full" restore than simply flashing a new rom. So I did that, and so far my issue appears to be fixed! More testing is still needed at this point, but if there's anyone who comes across similar issues, you might try that. I'll report back once I know for sure if this was the solution. Thanks!
You don't *228 a 4G phone, they update their PRLs, on their own, on boot. You may have fried your SIM card.

Yep...as the OP clearly says, looking back I realize I shouldn't have done that It didn't hurt my SIM card.....I'm not an expert by any means, but I feel like something must have somehow gotten seriously borked with the radio or something, I really don't know - all I know is using the "full restore to stock" instructions with the .tot and LG flash tool, everything is back up and running great again. Figured I'd share my experiences on the off chance anyone else has any similar issues!
So, have you re-done all the work to reinstall Cloudy ? If so, did the 4g to 3g drop problem return ? I am not sure from following thus threading the problem was with Cloudy.

I'm not sure exactly where the problem came in, whether from Cloudy or not, but I'm not refreshing it to find out lol, as I was still having definite drop to 3g and never return problems, along with it saying I was roaming during those times. I'm just gonna stick with the stability of the rooted stock US rom for now
