Im having the most annoying problems with my photon
all used to work well, signal bars were great.
then one day i had a fail to boot message, so i flashed this SBF
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202666
And nothings been the same. It seems my radio/baseband is messed up
I have it set to GSM Only as usual
but every now and then it just loses signal ( i think when it switches towers) and wont come back till i reset it. and other times itll switch to 'Automatic' and think its a CDMA phone.
And the most annoying part is most of the time ill have 'signal' but little do i know no text messages are getting to me. and no phone calls. and if i try a phone call it hangs up a second in. These problems are all intermittent, itll suddenly just work after time, then stop after time. I thought it was my SIM Card but all is functional 100% in a different phone. I hope i dont have a sudden hardware problem in the phone itself.
I tried flashing to old SBFs, factory resetting nothing works
Ofcourse I skip the handset activation at the beginning as im in canada (GSM) and i cant seem to 'factory reset' the radio or use any of those codes because im in Canada and it asks for a passcode that i dont have
if ANYONE knows nething i can do pelase help, because its looking like i have to ditch the photon
I flashed my phone with that too, but no network problem after that.
I guess you have tried already to flash again. I'm also on gsm only.

im thinking my phones radio is physically crapping out.. ah.
Perhaps that SBF borks GSM usage? Have you tried one of the very first SBF's that have been put out?
i tried 154_5, and 198_6, not sure if they are 'official', but both have this problem.
do u know of any other ones, or of some factory rom
id try those deblurred custom roms, but they have this wierd bug of not showing signal bars with GSM, aka no matter how good my signal is, the signal bar will always show 0 in those roms
I have been searching for crazy for the past week becuase i have had the same issue.
UMTS 3G radio stopped working, but i have not been able to find any 154 sbf files to flash.
I have to keep GSM mode only, and my battery life is terrible. Battery dies after 7 hours with NO usage. The only thing i have not tried, after flashing all kinds of software, is doing a nandroid backup on another Photon and flashing it on my phone. Will try it right now ad report back.
thats a good idea, especially if the nandroid u take is from a STOCK completely untouched Photon, i just wanna go back to how it was when i first got it
let me know how it works out! so we can upload it
i have the 154 sbf if u wanna try it:
http://www.multiupload.com/FNZKNV0T3G
ps: try flashing a rom from the dev section like that 'Home Base' one, i will try later
THANK YOU! I have been trying like crazy to find the 154 one. Im flashing the nandroid backup, but im doing it over the advanced settings, sine the /boot folder is giving me an error while checking "MD5 sums". It says error while flashing boot image. All other folders restore ok. I´ll post back.
ps. I´ve flashed HomeBase and Alien rom and apparently they do not touch the basebands.
considering that sbf that broke it for me is an official sprint update, it means sprint/motorola messed it up, knowingly or unknowingly, should we make it clear to them (to matt on those moto forums). not many users probably use gsm w sprint/photon so the problem isnt wide spread
i think the one that was working for me was soemthing even before 154, i cant remember if i updated my photon once, 194 is the third OTA right?
Im not very sure, but i work for Sprint, so i´ll check it out tomorrow and let you know.
Anyways, my friend with the Photon, the one i used for a nandroid backup does not have any issues connecting to 3G Gsm networks. It is very odd indeed.
[Edit] My friend´s Photon and mine do not have the same baseband version after the nandroid backup, so i guess it doesnt touch it. We need to figure out a way to get the sbf for the baseband,
whats ur baseband version?
ill check mine
if u work for sprint thats a bonus, dig around tomorrow!
my baseband is n_01.28.05s.fk i am currently doing an OTA update that has been ongoing for a week. im still only at 23%. so there may be a newer version.

Don't know if it helps at all, But I'm on CDMA and my baseband version is the same. n_01.28.05s.fk
I'm on GSM/UMTS in Italy and my baseband version is n_01.28.07R with update 45.3.6 and is ok
I have a quick question because I've run into a problem I can't seem to fix.
First, so everyone knows what I'm dealing with:
Phone: i717
Changes: Rooted (Shows super user access), CWM v5.5.0.4, Unlocked (Tested)
Rom: Stock AT&T Rom
Sim Card: Works in a T-mo branded Exhibit II 4G.
I flashed a radio (tried KID, 0331122 from the radio thread in the dev section, and reflashed the original AT&T radio).Even w/ the original radio installed, it cannot seem my T-Mo sim now.
Do I need to flash a new Rom or what? Wipe data to factory reset?
I would rather not change anything w/o asking since flashing radios seems to be a straight forward thing that most ppl have done w/o touching the rom.
Thanks ahead of time.
Mine worked with a rooted stock rom at first it didnt see the sim then i tried searching the network under wireless and networks it took a few minutes but then it came up.

don't forget if you are running an ICS based ROM you need an ICS based Radio/modem.
EDIT: i see you're running the original GB rom so you need the GB radio.
give it a few minutes to find a signal or go to settings/mobile networks/network operators. choose manual. then let it search a few minutes. then select t-mobile.
I find the Blaze 4G radio worked best for me, but depending on your area, your results may differ. try em all.
You guys are insanely fast.
I'm currently on the stock radio & I'm still getting the same message after letting the sim sit in the phone for 9 minutes (yes, I watched the clock, lol):

Where should I go from here?
Edit: Is the answer flashing another rom? Maybe something has become corrupt? I don't see how as I've read & re-read walk thrus for doing this to make sure.
I've done a little more reading. Flashing the beta ICS rom flashes to the old AT&T modem.
Would this be the best bet?
Edit: After looking through the "about" phone...
I'm on 4.0.3
Baseband: Unknown............. that's really bad.
Edit 2:
After reading, I needed to back up the EFS. No where is this stated anywhere, unfortunately. That contains IMEI and everything else.
Edit:
So, after reading MORE, the IMEI number is on a sticker behind the battery, along w/ the S/N.
Huh? Efs? I dont even know what that is nevermind backing it up. Goto clockworkmod and flash the radio.zip and reboot. Thats all there is to it.

If you look up EMEI number related to flashing the radio, there's a lot of hits.
XDA has a thread on it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352371
I'm quite shocked it's not mentioned everywhere as this happens to people now and again.
I have my IMEI number, i just don't know how to input it into the phone.
As for flashing the radio, I've flashed 2, then back to the original. To no avail.
Sorry never had anything like that. I would almost odin back to stock and start over. You dont need root for the sim to work on calls and edge with tmobile.

If you're baseband is unknown don't worry just flash a stock at&t modem and it should go back to normal. Your imei is under a different menu in about phone..the status one.
Also its no ones responsibility to tell you that modifying your phone may break it.

I did flash back to the stock AT&T baseband as stated in the original post.
If I go to About Phone, the Baseband Version is unknown.
If I go to Status, the following are listed as
Network: Unknown
Mobile Network: Unknown
Service State: Out of service
Mobile Network State: Disconnected
IMEI: Unknown
IMEI SV: Unknown
I've backed up the EFS that I have no just so it doesn't degrade further. I'll try to flash again and see, but I still think the EFS is borked.
I'll see what I can, but I think I'll the EFS is borked beyond flashing it to normal.
My point about the EFS back up is that most ppl here don't seem to know what it is. It shouldn't be that foreign of a topic since flashing a radio is obviously problematic for some. I've seen other posts concerning no IMEI after flashing radios on forums other than XDA. It's odd that it's not mentioned as a sticky everywhere.
Backing up EFS would solve a lot of head aches from unlocking / radio flashing woes. I'm hoping this info will save a few people a lot of time and money.
After more digging, I came across this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646326
Synopsis: Basically, he followed the same guide I did. The only difference is that I flashed the radio while using a stock AT&T rom. Once he flashed back to GB (saurom), he gained back his baseband / IMEI.
This is what I cannot figure out:
CWM will see and flash any radio file I push to my note. If I push a stock AT&T rom, it won't see it. If I put the rom in it's own folder, it seems the rom, but states there's no files.
Is CWM corrupted? Why would it only read firmware to flash radios, but not android roms? Should I just go back and install CWM?
I've searched all over & used google, but I can't find a thread discussing this.
Fixed.
This problem has nothing to do with any of the radios corrupting the EFS folder. Albeit, it's always a good idea to back it up.
Flashing back to AT&Ts stock rom (2.3.6 or 4.0.3) never fix the issue. You will always be stuck w/o a radio, at least from what I've seen. Even flashing back to the stock radio fails. I don't know if it changes the EFS, but AT&T's rom does not like it and shows no IMEI & a bogus SN .
I had to go back, flash to saurom and a compatible GB (or beta T-mobile) radio to get te work fine. ICS radios work fine on ICS.
Saurom and GB radios dont work in my i 717 trying to connect to wind. I got a CM 9 ICS build and ive tired a bunch of radios. they all failed. i keep getting no sim errors. I can see the operator but when i select it it times out and says it cannot connect to the network at this time. it also says interset sim. Im positive it is unlocked.
Modems(radios) or basebands should have nothing to do with whatever rom you are running. Whether they are GB, ICS, or JB modems, they should all work to a degree, at least for phone call ability. I have flashed many different radios trying to get the best function of my att note on t-mo. The best I got was using the Blaze modem. That got me 3g hspa.
The worst will be just giving you edge speed. My note is unlocked and has been on JB running blaze ICS modem working fine. Maybe you need to start over, evaluate what you have, and go from there. There are great threads on att over t-mobile. Good luck.
I picked my rom, and started flashing 5 or 6 radios, and found what one worked best on t-mo.
Presently, I have switched back to att- sort of- straight talk. I'm not thrilled with the speeds. No higher than 4 mbps DL, and 1-1.5 UL. Thinking about going back to t-mo and dealing with the slow UL speeds. I'm on an ICS rom with the ucle6 modem.
Also, flashing a rom does not change your modem. You have to physically reflash the modem you want. Some modems show up as unknown under the baseband. Blaze is one of them.
Another thought- sometimes a reboot will get your sim recognized by your phone.

This is yet another case of the "no sim" bug ....
Damn I wish we could find the answer to this issue, but none exist .....and for some users the return to complete stock even fails to recover service ..

Really what an incredible unlucky glitch.I got my note for only 360CDN good condition but missing the stylus, even still it was a good buy. I'm on Wind mobile, T-mobile here in Canada. I even gave it to somebody who's done a bunch and they ran into the no sim problem. I guess I'll be going back to my HTC HD2 and sell the note .
---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------
So just to confirm I have followed the process correctly over 20 times and no matter which cm9 cm10 based rom and any ics or gb based radio will allow connection or recognize the sim to the 1700 aws network. With a cm9 based rom I can see my network, but it will not allow connection like the phone is locked, even though i have unlocked and tested the phone on other networks.

Yes, I have the same 'No SIM' issue with a working WIND SIM. I've tried everything, multiple Radios, multiple ROMs. Very strange problem. I wish we had the tools that the SGSIII has for dumping and restoring the NV ram. Even stranger, I do have a the correct IMEI number in Phone, About. I have a feeling it's something to do with how the phones were carrier unlocked.

I have made a backup of the EFS folder with EFS Pro. I tried restoring the NV ram from .bak but there was none found.

It has nothing to do with your unlock. If you've followed the steps and are still having no sim issue you may have to get a new 32k sim card from wind the older ones won't connect in a phone with lte

Had to replace the TMo SIM card with a newer one today. Solved the problem of "No SIM".
I know this is old
I have the same problem with "NO SIM." One day i flashed so many things to my phone and one time i turned it on i got ATT on the top right corner and everything was good. I made some phone calls and texts and even browsed the web. I restarted the phone to check if it was just a fluke and it was. Ever since then i cannot get it to read my phone, but i know for sure the hardware works.
Does anyone have a modem for the Australian S2? Peferebly the DVLS3 modem coz' I'm stuck with a DUKJ1 modem on Jelly bean 4.2.2 and i get no bars in my home, my local mall and only 1 bar MAX in the city. (I live in Melbourne on Vodafone). When i first rooted my phone and flashed Thunderbolt Rom onto my phone, it had the DVLS3 modem on until installed MIUI V.5 then flashed the Siyah kernel V.6beta5. Then I was stuck with the I9100XXMS2 modem. So I flashed the Dorinmax kernel on top of P.A 3.0+ but still had the same modem. So then I flashed back the Thnderbolt ROM V.7 and the DUFK4 modem and did better but only got 1 bar maximum (never went above 2 bars). So I scowered the whole interwebs and found a DUKJ1 modem and flashed that (the most reliable so far) but still got no service in my house, and 1 bar max. So here i am now. Please someone give my the modem so I can flash it via CWM. that would be greatly appreciated. DD ( And sorry if I confuse you or get something wrong because I'm new to this sort of stuff).
P.S: If I can't get the modem, please someone recommend a good, reliable modem to use on the Vodafone network in AUS.
THANKS DD

Try DULP4 from that link Sun posted. I've been using it for ages & it hasn't missed a beat. I'm in Geelong/use Voda & also have fairly average coverage inside at one bar mostly, but at least it's reliable. I can get full coverage immediately outside my back/front door.
Having said that (trying that particular modem/others), we are talking about Vodafone here, and what you're seeing could very easily be just the result of their ****ty network.
Edit - Have you flashed any RIL's by chance ? If you have, and trying modems simply doesn't work, I'd be formatting everything in CWM & doing a clean install of stock via Odin. Then flash whatever rom/kernel you want to use. Flashing RIL's may have done something funky to your connectivity (Have seen it happen). If you haven't flashed any RIL's, disregard this bit & keep trying modems. If you find DULP4 doesn't work, try all the modems released with Voda stock roms. Then try the modems released by other carriers around the world who sold the I9100T (check Samfirmware). If you still have no joy, try every other modem you can get your hands on (there are dozens).
So if at any stage a modem*+ril has been flashed, it's required to nuke (or similar) the current ROM, flash stock, and then start from scratch? Or is it ok to re- root the stock firmware & restore a nandroid? I.e. Will a nandroid restore the ril as well?
I only ask as I found a modem+ril combo on my internal sd card the other day. I may have flashed it when I was starting off & didn't know what I was doing, can't be sure :/
Edit: I know that a nandroid doesn't restore baseband. But I couldn't find anything definitive about whether ril is included in a nandroid.

If I'd flashed a RIL out of desperation at some stage to try and fix poor connectivity (I haven't tho/wouldn't) & still had poor connectivity, yeah, I'd 'nuke' the lot & do a completely fresh install and start again. I wouldn't say it's 'required' tho. That's just me being thorough/methodical.
But if you've flashed one & have no problems with connectivity, no need to. I suggested it to the OP given his connectivity is ****ty thinking he may have flashed one. I've seen people on who have had no problem with connectivity flash RIL's with the promise of/thinking they might get 6.5Mbps download speeds instead of 6Mbps & end up borking their connectivity completely.
As far as I'm concerned, I'd only personally flash a RIL after I've tried every single modem & had no joy. Not sure if the RIL is included in a nandroid. I guess the test would be to flash a RIL, make a nandroid, flash another RIL, restore the nandroid & use GetRIL/similar to check the RIL.
The only problem I have with connectivity is in tapatalk. Usual internet browsing /video streaming are fine, so I guess it's tapatalk.
I've never deliberately flashed a RIL, and don't think I have at all, but I can't be sure. As I'm not having issues I will be content.. Not that I'm getting anything close to 6Mb/s.

Hi guys,
I managed to accidentally grab the ATT version of LiquidSmooth and flash it. Since then, I've had strange issues with service. Here's what I've tried:
Flashing (Verizon) versions of CM, LiquidSmooth, and Hyperdrive
Flashing the original and ME7 modems with Heimdall and Odin
Wiping data, system, caches, and fixing permissions before/after every flash
Randomly toggling Mobile Network settings (but I have no idea what I'm doing there)
[*[Searching everywhere I could think of on the forums
I had 0 service on either AOSP ROM I tried. Right now, I'm running Hyperdrive and getting weird results.
Sometimes it asks be to switch to "Global Mode" and shows that I'm roaming.
If I try to call, it says it can't find a mobile network and fails.
After leaving it sitting for a while (right after a clean flash), all the texts I missed came through.
If I try to text somebody, I'm warned that the mobile network is unavailable, but the text still goes through!
4G is working on Hyperdrive. Wifi still works on everything.
com.android.phone crashes when I try change the Network mode away from Global
I'd love to hear any suggestions you guys might have for me. Not sure what I have left to try.... is there a master reset for all of this?
Thanks!

The APNs list is blank and my signal jumps between zero bars and a few bars + roaming. Call and text not working.
I've also attached my PIT file (grabbed with Heimdall). Have no idea how to read it.
Do you have a nandroid backup that includes your EFS partition? If so, I would try restoring it and seeing what happens. Sounds like something got out of whack in there and is giving your phone a hard time doing it's #1 job.
This is what ultimately switched me to the S4, my GNex randomly decided one day that it wasn't going to be a phone anymore, and I didn't have an EFS backup to restore in order to try and fix it.
Two things -
1. Always, always, always, make sure the ROM you are flashing is the correct ROM.
2. Always keep an ODIN file on handy of the full system image, here is the full MDK software, this WILL wipe all of your data - http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=237

1. I know. LiquidSmooth could have done a better job of linking to the right place on their post, but it was still really dumb on my part.
2. Thanks for this! It looks like I'll be able to try this out tonight (slow connection). The SD card data is safe right? Also, I'm just downloading the tar - not sure what the exe is for.
I haven't used Odin for this since it was on version 1.8 or something (now it's over 3)... it looks like I still just choose the tar from the PDA block and hit go... no specific other settings needed for this phone / flash, right?
No luck :/ . I unzipped the stock restore, flashed in Odin (PDA), and booted fine. I have 4G and texts working, but no calling (mobile network not available) and calling my phone goes straight to voicemail. Also, it's very adamant about keeping me in Global mode over LTE/CDMA. This is the same state I was in earlier while running Hyperdrive, except now I don't have root.
I feel like I've tried everything there is to try. Does anyone have any further suggestions?
Are there any areas of software that don't get reset when flashing the stock images in Odin, and that could have been corrupted from the bad flash?
Thanks.
It's probably also worth mentioning that I'm warned about there being no mobile network when I send texts. I can cancel the dialog and they still go through. People can text me without issues.

I had the same happen to me when I was working on getting radio on MIUI ROM, after tinkering with the Sprint version, only 4G would work, and occasionally roaming would work. Every time I tried to make a call, it told me there was no mobile network available, and it constantly tried to switch into Global Mode instead of CDMA/LTE.
Sadly, the only thing that worked for me was getting my phone replaced with a brand new one. If you find anything that works please be sure that you post it, because someone else may end up doing the same thing.

Did you get it replaced via warranty? If so, did you need to do anything besides flashing a stock image in Odin beforehand?
Maybe try flashing the stock rooted ME7 that includes the new radios? Couldn't hurt at this point.

Does anybody know whether ODIN / recovery deletes the partitions before writing new ones? If a file existed in the ATT rom, but not in the Verizon one, would it still be on my phone if I flashed the Verizon rom over the ATT one? Obviously this assumes a data / cache wipe in between. I'm really talking more about the other partitions.
Also, does anyone have any experience trying to get a replacement via warrantee after flashing? I've read all about the binary counter on our model, but didn't see any success / failure stories yet from people returning phones after flashing stock + unrooting.
Last question for now: is there any reason to believe that taking the recent update would help my situation? Maybe that could reset whatever is causing my calling issue.... just a random guess. I know that I'd lose any chance of getting root back (at least for a while).
Thanks again for the help guys!
If my Droid Incredible 4G LTE is connected to Wifi, it disconnects from Cellular Data. When I leave where ever it is connected to WifI, it won't connect back to cellular data. I have to turn off Wifi, then reboot the phone. I haven't tried something like switching to Airplane mode, I will try that. Has anybody else seen this issue? The phone is on Straight Talk Veriozon network, so is using SIM card for 4G LTE and CDMA for voice.
Are you stock?
No. Probably would help to mention that. S-OFF, partitions swapped and rooted CM 1.2.1 FWIW, this was happening with CM 11.2 before the partition swap. It wasn't happening before I did S-OFF and flashed CM 11.2 but I was also living in a different location for several months. It didn't start until I moved to where I am now.
I would try to do a clean reflash and see what happens.
I will think about that but I did a clean install when I did the partition swap and flashed the new ROM. I'd rather not do that again and have to set the phone back up again.
Today it seems to be better, I moved from Wifi to out and about and it switched to LTE properly.

I may have to try the reflash after all. The problem's gotten worse and now as of yesterday and today a reboot of the phone isn't getting me cellular data back. This did not start until we moved to a temporary place where I get voice service but not data at home. So the phone spends a lot of time on Wifi and not in a place where it can get data. So I'm wondering if the Verizon network is somehow forgetting about the phone or somesuch. At my old house, it was connected to Wifi but the data network was always available. The phone is S-Off with a custom bootloader and recovery. Assuming I wanted to try, can I put the stock ROM back on it without undoing all that?

If you want to go to stock, you will have to reverse the partition swap.

That part I understand. What I should have asked was "if I want to go back to the stock ROM, do I need to undo the custom recovery, relock the bootloader, go S-ON, etc? Any other ROMS besides CM I might try? That could tell me if it is the ROM or not but, again I did not have this issue until I moved to an area where I can get voice, but no data.
You should be able to remain s-off. here are the stock packages if you don't have them, http://android.cmphys.com/stock-fireball/

Thanks. I will grab a stock ROM. I really like CM 12.1 (and the swapped partitions) though. I was able to get the phone back to cellular data this morning while I was on a chat with Straight Talk. Why a reboot worked then but not the 3 other times I have no idea. I'm also wondering what happens the next time this happens if I go into APN settings and change it to one that doesn't work, then change it back.
Over looking at the stock ROM downloads I see a link to this patch:
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/93484/
The ROM I am running now was built on 05/26. I see a newer CM 12.1 ROM dated 06/12 that contains that patch so I will flash that ROM, probably next week. I'm on call this weekend and don't want to risk bricking the phone.
I'm running the 6/12 build and it seems happy. I only run my Fireball on WIFI since I switched to AT&T and have a Nexus 5 for my primary.

Ive thought about getting a new phone on a GSM network but where we are building our house I can't get a ATT signal there, so I'm stuck with Verizon.
