So, all of a sudden my GS4 doesn't want to connect to VZW's network. I can't place any calls, send texts or receive any calls or texts. LTE is working fine. I've tried all of the different provisioning codes, but none of them go through because as soon as I tap the call button I just get the error message "Mobile network not available".
I've flashed different ROM's to see if that clears it up, rebooted, wiped, restored... everything. Nothing seems to be working.
Also, in About Phone>Status, the IMEI field is populated and has a bunch of numbers and stuff in it, so it appears normal. Everything appears normal. Here's what it says in About Phone>Status:
Network: Verizon Wireless
Mobile network type: LTE:14
Service State: Out of Service
Roaming: Not Roaming
Mobile network state: Disconnected
And yes, before any asks, I am in a spot where I normally get coverage, so I know that's not the problem.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
UPDATE: Restored to a 3 day old backup and all is well again. Upon the first boot I still got the same error message when I tried to place a call so I then dialed *228 and got a little messaging saying I was now activated, and everything is working now. So yeah, I don't really know how I fixed it, but whatever as long as it's working.
S4 signal issues
ive been having same issue Network not availiable and also where i normally have 4g service i know only get 3g.Ive flashed several different roms still same issue.Could this be glitch in vzw AWS system?Is there any other radios we can flash?
I'm surprised it worked after *228. That's a good way to nuke a sim, making it unusable.

bump. did you ever get this solved? im having the same thing
Same thing here. Connection is intermittent. 4g/3g comes and goes. Tried reflashing different roms, factory wipes, nothing seems to work. Does anyone have a fix for this yet?
Its a Verizon system error. they're fixing it as we speak. I went to the store and thats what I was told.

Sounds like they fed you some bs. I took an alcohol wipe and cleaned the contacts on my sim card. Seems to have helped but I'm still experiencing issues.

Is that so? Because someone else next to me came in with the same problem. And they showed me the Verizon Alert.

Same issue, however i can send and recieve texts, just no in or out calls. Im not sure if my issue was due to me trying to simunlock but that when it started right after. I did make a backup with the EFS using TWRP and was thinking of restoring that, but do you think that just doing the *228 will do the trick? or restore the backup to the prior EFS and do the *228. Kinda concerned that someone said here that doing the 288 call can mess up the sim, why is that excactly?
Did u use twrp or cwm to restore, if twrp, did u do a full wipe first? And can u describe the steps done? I have the same issue and did the restore but I'm still having this issue. I did not do a full wipe cause I thought twrp did this automatically. But also if a full wipe it's done, does this mean we need to reflash the Rom and then the backup? Looking back on my s2, I remember the fone not booting due to missing this step but that was w cwm. Let me know if u would, thanks

I flashed the ED05 stock package posted in the dev forum. Everything went well with the flash but when I rebooted, the phone went to VZW for activation and now I have no access to data network. Any ideas how to fix this?

I took a look through the forums and didn't see anyone else lose 3g with this package. Try a *228 and if that doesn't work, flash a different radio (ED04 or EC09) and try to *228 again. Can you make or receive calls/texts?
Worse comes to worse, reflash the ED05 package or flash a different ROM/stock package.
I had that happen once did a few reboots and started working all on its own. It was not with ed05 though.
If you flashed the ED05 with the SamsungPST and you lost data service you have two options (both verified to work)...
1. Login to My Verizon and swap your phone number to some other phone, activate it (*228) and then swap it back to your Fascinate.
2. Call Verizon and tell them you are not getting any data (but voice works ok) and that you would like your keys reset.
I have the same problem, ill try calling verizon tomorrow :s
I've actually tried different things now:
Connected to wifi, if I go into my verizon it says:
Your Mobile Number could not be validated, Please try again later.
When I try calling verizon, it says that my phone is not authorised.
When I dial *228 it unlocks successfully the phone, reboots, and then nothing!!
Help ??
Also I have tried going back to older versions, trying different roms but no data no where
Listen to pentafive. He's posted how to repair. Worked for me.
Update... It looks like you don't even need to *228 the other phone. Just get an ESN/MEID of some other VzW smartphone (that isn't currently activated), swap it on MyVerizon and then swap it back to the Fascinate. Then *228 your Fascinate.
Ok I called them and it worked, thanks everyone .
It was my first verizon phone so I could not try with another one.
Does anyone know why this happened ? To avoid it happening again ?
I am having the same issue. I have voice but no data. I don't have another Verizon smartphone to swap and the tech-support didn't know what "resetting the keys" meant. I am getting a replacement but I'd still like to know how to get this fixed in case it happens again. Thanks.

I recomend using odin instead of samsung pst! If you insist on using pst look up the official vzw stock ed05 thread in the dev section by pentafive. He has directions on how to keep from losing data when using pst.
I had the same proplem. No Data. I call verizon they had me pull batt waite five min replace batt reboot and i got my data working again.
Works
After asking if Tech Support could reset the "keys" for my phone, which they had no idea what that was, I asked if they could activate a different phone on my account then reactivate mine. He told me that would fix the problem if it was a network level problem (which it was.) He ended up resetting the data connection on the line and after a reboot my 3G was back. So, if Tech Support has no idea what "resetting the keys" means have them reset your data because the problem is a network level problem, not a phone level problem.
Also I used Odin and still got the lost data connectivity, so keep that in mind.
Hi there,
I've flashed Xtreme's ICS 4.0.3 rom through AmonRa and it went through smoothly. I flashed the kernel and everything that was listed in the "how to" but I can't seem to get onto the internet. I've looked around and I think it might be my APN settings but being a 4G phone I can't just type *228 and have VZ set my APNs for me. I'm connecting fine to the network and I'm sending data out but I can't receive data. Has anyone seen this problem before and is there a solution to it?
I'm actually having the same issue, after flashing the same ROM. It says I'm connected to the 4g/3g networks, but whenever trying to do something that uses data, it just hangs. My WiFi works on the ICS ROM, but when I restore back to stock with my nandroid backup, nothing works - no 4g, no 3g, no WiFi.

I've tried to restore my nandroid and it didn't work, and I'm not able to restore to stock (couldn't find option and doing factory reset on AmonRa didn't work). The only option I have left is to go with this ROM and so far I'm not able to get any form of data.

My phone can connect to WiFi just fine, I've used it to sync the contacts with my google account so that I can still call and text people. It's just the data that isn't working.
Bump.
I've taken the phone to Verizon and they're going to send me a certified like-new. I'm not sure what happened to the 4G but even replacing the SIM didn't have any effect. I'm thinking one of the updates I flashed created this problem.
This might be a dumb reply... but since you were in the process of flashing ROMs and whatnot, I'm assuming you might have had to take the battery cover off. Did you put it back on when you were trying to get the 3G / 4G to work? The antennas are located there.
Only reason I ask is because I was freaking out when I couldn't get mine to work, either.
I'm losing 4G on cleanrom ICS. I'll have it after flash but later on, lose it. I think it only happens when I connect to the exchange server.
Nandroid got my 4G LTE back. I made a backup before I connected to the exchange server. I'll continue to monitor.

So I found the problem. I called Verizon again (After two replacement phones and three phone calls!) and they transferred me to tier 1 tech, then to tier 2, and then finally to an "internal agent." After a brief review of my account he told me that someone had turned on the usage control at 5gb. I don't understand how this is possible -- Nobody has access to my account. So after disabling it my data has been working fine. If you're having data problems check your account

I don't use an exchange server so I can't really help you here, but if it only drops at that time it's probably your server.

I have been searching for 3 days trying to find the problem. I have an AT&T Galaxy s 2 that I rooted using the Zedomax root through ODIN. I unlocked it to use for my T-mobile service. Everything was working fine for months. Then one day I woke up to use my phone and there was a circle with a cross through it. I am not able to call out or even get a data connection. So I tried flashing back to stock no root and same thing. I put a AT&T sim in and it was the same thing. Flashed back to root several times and I still get the same thing. I checked to see if my radio was on and it was fine. Did Either Service just block the phone? I don't get it. When I leave my house I get bars but no connection on both data or service. Yet I get all kind of texts . So why wont it let me call out or even use my browser if i go down the street and it says it has service and is getting texts? I swapped phones and works perfect so I know it can't be my SIM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
Don't. Use. Zedomax.

DId u try calling T-mobile? or AT&T about the issue?
Well I'm on a "no contract plan" and buy my phones cash. So no warranty. So Zedomax is bad?
Maybe flash a radio to it. I've noticed that I lose service with some roms occasionally. But when I do, I just flash a radio and it seems to fix it.
Sounds like a bad APN setting to me.

Very bad. Its well known to cause many problems on peoples phones. They usually come here after messing up their phone from his website which is no bueno and annoying. Stick with xda from now on, it won't steer u wrong
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA
Call your service provider and verify your APN settings are correct.
From my own limited knowledge. A circle with line means no signal. Bars without a connection type icon means a signal but no service.
As far as useing the zedomax rooting method, as per the OP if it was running fine for monrhs, that clearly isn't the issue.

I'll try flashing a radio and see if that works. .
i have checked all my APN settings and everything seems ok to me. I have hard reset multiple times. My data packet shows on. I also checked my settings to see if my radio is on and it says yes. My Iemi number shows. I'm so confused what could be wrong. It won't work with both ATT or T-mobile. Should work no matter what considering this is an ATT phone.
Fixed!! Can't make a call, "Searching for service", "Mobile network not available"
Edit: Entered ##72786# into the keypad and it reprogrammed service. It's fixed.
I have a Sprint S3. It's currently running the Blazer 1.6 ROM. Wi-Fi works, but there is zero mobile signal or connection. Through ##786#, my MSID and mobile # are there. I have no idea what's going on.
Check out the screen shots. If someone knows what to do I'd be appreciative. I've scoured the internet for hours. I tried changing modems. Nothing has worked.
You can see there is absolutely no signal in the upper right corner.
Here you can see the signal strength is -120 dBm 99 asu.

I had the same problem recently after running Phantom's ROM and then restoring a stock ROM backup.
No matter what I flashed I couldn't get my signal back. I tried flashing Odin Factory Stock ROM,, flashed modems, flashed other ROM's....nothing worked.
I even dialed that re-activation number you mentioned in your post.
I contacted Sprint via chat I they could not figure out why my phone didn't have any kind of connection even after refreshing services on their part etc.
FINALLY, I took it to a Sprint Store and they fixed it. I just told them that I did not have a connection after doing a factory reset.
Unfortunately, begin an idiot, I just walked out of there and didn't ask them what the problem was and how they fixed it. I can still call them and check but screw it, I'm just happy my phone works.
I hope you can get your phone to work.
Good Luck!

I fixed it! How awesome is that!? So I read some more random forms looking for other hit's. Came across one that mentioned ##72786#, which didn't help the individual. However when I tried it, it worked. It's apparently a new Sprint reprogramming code that only resets service parameters. Phone automatically rebooted, now I'm golden. Even learned a few things along the way. This should be stickyed.
So if you have no signal, no service or no mobile network on Sprint, try ##72786# before flashing, resetting, restoring, crying or returning to the Sprint store.
I bought a note 2 from swappa and I put my sim card in and I get data but can't make calls or send text. I got a new sim from best buy and also spent about 45 min on the phone with vzw and it's the same. It is activated in their system and the imei is showing correct but there is just no voice or sms. I contacted the seller and he said it was working just fine for him.
My next thought was to use Odin to go back to stock. The seller recommend going back to a prior software version first. Do any of you have any other suggestions? Or am I looking at a bad phone?
Thanks

I hadn't messed with the phone since this morning and put the sim in from my s3 and then was able to make a call, sent 1 text and received 1 text then could no longer makes calls or send texts. I tried rebooting then taking out the sim and putting it back in and nothing. So I used odin and went back to root 66 and same thing. cant make calls or text but data still works.
at this point i am at a complete loss.

Have you double checked the settings in Settings/More Settings/ Mobile Networks to make sure it in set to either Global or LTE/CDMA/EvDO?
If you don't get the issue resolved by adding APNs I would either contact the seller and ask for a refund or contact Big Red to get a replacement.

I am the previous owner...you can go through my postings...will find nothing of me having any issues with the phone...as it worked perfectly...upon researching...my best suggestion would be a roaming mode setting that is only accessible from an aosp rom. The phone is not defective or broken in anyway on the hardware front. The root 66 odin is not the full wipe and restore, but your issue doesnt sound to be solved by that...rather an aosp rom.

Was the VRAMC3 OTA accepted on the device? If so there is no hope to go fully back to release day stock via Odin, the only options then are Root66 and the Alternate Recobery ROM imnuts posted.
Also Root66 doesn't generally leave too much behind, it is still an Odin flash just like going completely back to stock. My understanding has always been that it will wipe everything.

That has been my understanding as well. SO when I used odin to install route 66 it should have resolved any issue that would have been caused by a setting or apn file.

Checked these as well. All correct and still have the issue.
There is a third option...between the route 66 and if you took no ota...that's the one I would try. Route 66 leaves apps settings and user data in place as well as recovery.

Flashing Root66 on my S3, and every other phone I've flashed Root66 ROMs on, does I'm fact wipe the data I believe. I may be remembering wrong though.
If I were desperate and none of the other ROMs would work and you had done everything possible you could always try selecting the NAND Erase option in Odin when flashing Root66. I would not do this unless I was out of options and had nothing else I could do because it does have the potential to brick the device.
To the OP, exactly what did you do from the moment you got the phone until it stopped showing LTE? I mean tell us EVERYTHING!

To the OP, exactly what did you do from the moment you got the phone until it stopped showing LTE? I mean tell us EVERYTHING!

LTE has always worked. I received the phone, took the sim from my s3 and put it into the note 2. I was getting data but no calls or texts. I went onto vzw website and chatted with a tech they said I needed a new sim and my s3 sim would not work (which sims are interchangable but I did it anyways). I went to bestbuy as verizon was closed. The guy got a new sim and tried getting it working. He said it was showing activated but it was still the same issue. Next morning I flashed clean rom as it is fairly close to stock compared to the jedi rom that it came with. I then called verizon and was transferred to tier 2 tech support and spent 30 min on the phone with them. they guy said the same thing that it was showing activated in the system, imei and sim number were pulling over just fine and because 4g was working it should all be working. After that I contacted the seller and he said it was all working when he switched to his s4 and suggested I flash back to prior software. I left the phone alone all day and at night put the sim back in and I was able to make a test call and sent 1 text. But then when I got a response to the text I could not respond it kept failing and I was no longer able to make calls anymore. Did a few reboots and factory resets and occasionally after a reboot I can send 1 text then nothing again. Last night I used odin to install route 66 but the issue remained. I was talking to eris of team BAMF who has the note 2 and he said to make sure the radio was the newest (which it was) and to flash his rom to see if it would work (which it did not) While on that ROM I checked all the settings that people have suggested in here as well as a link the seller sent me and then flashed the newest Paranoid Android to check it on there as well and everything was set correct. I have now used odin to install the alternate restore stock image that droidstyle has listed (not route 66 and not the one that locks the bootloader the one that removes root and if you accept the ota it will lock the bootloader and be out of box condition) and I am still having the issue.

OK, try this:

Use the dialer codes in the last post of the above thread. If they won't work you will have to install the HiddenMenuEnabler.APK from here:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/38150-enable-hidden-menu-and-dialer-codes/
Or here in the post by adrynalyne if the Rootz one won't work (the one above from Rootz may require root but I can't remember for sure):

When you get into the hidden menu make sure everything is set to LTE/CDMA/EvDO or whichever the applicable setting would be. Maybe this will fix it...

I appreciate the time and effort you put into getting the links.
With being on 100% stock with the exception of the locked bootloader, if the issue was settings caused it would have been resolved. So I called samsung and the tech I spoke to said it sounded like a bad radio to him, which I have been thinking this entire time. So he set up a warranty claim for me to send in the phone.
The next thing I am trying to figure out is if I can accept the OTA that is waiting (I currently have it deferred) to lock the bootloader or if it will brick the phone. On the thread about returning to stock one post says it will brick it (I think it depends on what version they were on when it was rooted) and one says it won't so I posted asking for clarification. The seller bought it in February and rooted it so it the MC3 OTA never would have been accepted so I am thinking I can accept it but not sure.
thanks again for your suggestions, I wish they would have worked so I didn't have to send it in.
