i been searching some days now and i hope i didn't over look a post about this but i just recently got my amaze which was working fine till some few days ago, i do the root with s-on still and was running the dark glass .6 rom then some days later i lost my signal my new battery came in the mail and i got my signal back for a day then it went back out since then i have taken it to a repair shop but they either had no clue and lied or just no clue, but after some more research i saw a post that suggested to run the stock ruu and take off the root to fix the problem but still no fix , i know that may be jumbled and grammatically, but can i please get some suggestions
thank you NOOB
What rom are you currently running? Did u check your apn settings? Odd, there really isnt any software related problems that should cause loss of signal, even incorrect apn should only cause loss of data
Agree with aj.
It can be a hardware issue I guess.

Did you run the update befor ICS rom? (i forgot if thats the RUU)
Could be a faulty radio board/chip....
or your antenna contacts in the back cover of your phone aren't making contact.
When you pull the back cover off you'll see the contacts that stick up from the inside of the cover. Take a pencil eraser and rub the spots where it makes contact. make sure you blow
away any remaining rubber that comes off.
if that doesnt do it, try fresh network from the market.
all else fails, you might need to replace the phone...
Use foil paper in the back

i had a problem like this before my amaze just started dropping signal, and sometimes it would grab signal but it was rare. I had to get a replacement.
its at the repair shop now, so i will just wait to see if its my fault or the hardware
its still not working any one know of a good repair shop i can send it to? that can replace the radio chip? i want to weight the option of throwing it away or getting it repaired?

has any one else noticed the drop of signal on this phone? it works fine at home but as soon as I enter my college class room, the service can't be found, this is really annoying, I don't receive my texts till I exit the room and even then, every text I send seems to take ages to actually be delivered to the recipients phone. any one know of any fix for this?
running 2.1 official with pitch black theme. Xrecovery installed.
Did it start to happen after you installed the black theme?

no, its always happened. is this a problem all X10's have? as soon as I leave the room/college, it gains its reception again :|
I dont have that issue at all. Have you tried flashtool to try to fix the issue, or seus from sony? It could be a glitch in the phone. Have you used flashtool before? I can help you with that.

I have att x10a with 1.6 and I was constantly dropping calls worse than the iphone.. Called up ATT and they said swap the sim.. Did that and still nothing so they replaced the phone and so far no issues..
I've swapped sims, it didn't help, what would the flash tool do?
It's a hardware issue.
Not much you can do.

Its definitely a hardware issue, at least mine was.. If you’re under warranty get it replaced either via your carrier or SE
if I flash another baseband would that fix it? this phone works perfectly at home and other places, just as soon as I enter college, it loses reception. would another baseband be worth my time trying out?

No.. i have a similar issue.
and there is nothing you can do.
I wrote a petition to my service provider about this.
And the fixed a problem with the tower. "only cuz i know they take budget cuts"
The gsm modem is full of ****.
I don't know if it's a software or hardware issue.
But so far there is no fix for it.
As I posted above I had this very same issue.. ATT says couple of their towers are still down in my area and could be an issue.. It isn't.. The replacement phone I got last Friday has been very good… So clearly it was an equipment problem.. Are you still within the 1 year warranty? If you’re get it replaced ..

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.
Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt
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.

Theres a issue with some roms not being desprinted enough and flashing them can corupt the vzw setup. Either flash back to orig and reroot or do the ##whatever and make sure your data config is right. If i helped and im sure i did click thanks

My friend thought he bricked his phone and wanted to throw it away but i talked him into giving it to me. So when i got itthere was nothing on his phone internal and nothing on his sd card. So am guessing it was bricked but i was able to get into hboot mode so i thought its not brickied so i downloaded a lot of rom and all that good stuff and i came across onnthat worked its even on ics but the thing is i cant get signal so am gonna mess with it some more and see if i cant get a signal i will up date later tonight seeing that am exicited and cant sleep i might have a new rezound for sale later on ebay :0
still no signal
does anyone know how to get signal back after ics update
There's no official ICS update, so if the phone is on ICS then it's running one of the ROMs a dev made. Look in
Settings > About Phone Software Information > More
and see if you can tell which one and then check that thread and see if there's been any signal issues. Mine has the ROM name under "Build Number".
still the same
does yours have a signal and texting or i mean a fully fuctional phone
Do you have an activated SIM chip in it? If not then there's your answer.
signal
Ive read about getting a new radio for signal now Ive used google xda and other forums but have now idea on how to get a new radio would you now how to get one for the htc rezound. I found a page but didnt want to download because it said could give you black screen and I dont want that agian. If you can give me the radio number from your phone so I can download the right one PLZ.
OH YEAH
when I go to the HBOOT screen and it scans file in grenn letters one always comes out PH98DIAG.NBH no image or wrong image what does that mean do you know. sorry for all the ?s but I am new and this is fun learning all this stuff.
sim
YES the sim is in there and it is active using mine from my phone Ive tried everything from removing the sim and putting it back in and rebooting and the back cover is on
Your best bet would be to flash a GB kernel, or if you're on a GB kernel you should flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467329 . It includes the firmware update that will update radio, hboot etc.

If you are using 4g sim from another phone it won't work. The Verizon sim cant be swapped out like gsm sims IIRC

^Forgot to mention this derp. But he is correct, you would need a new sim that they would program for the rezound.
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.
Deleted - Wrong thread
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.
