Can't make or receive calls or text - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

So I was rooted running beans build 22, woke up in the morning, shut off my alarm then my phone shut off and would not turn back on. After some messing around with battery, SIM, and sd pulls, finally got it to boot. After it booted I could not make calls or send txts, but i did receive a few. I tried for hours to figure out the issue and eventually got a new SIM from verizon....still nothing. I just used ODIN to go back to as stock as i know how to, and am now stock unrooted and cant make or receive calls or txts at all anymore. Im at the end of my ropes trying to figure out what is wrong with it. Does anyone have any thoughts?
Would flashing a new radio help? Would flashing a new modem help?

I'm thinking something has happened to your antennae. but the fact that you are receiving is weird. Odin back to stock and order a new phone.

I have already used odin to go back to stock, and nothing changed, I can still get 4g data but it looks like ONLY 4g. Nothing works call or text wise, just data. Im not really sure if sending the phone back for replacement is an option at this point.

UPDATE**
This thread probably needs to be updated as I managed to reverse what issues I had....I was in the hidden service menu and somewhere I found a setting to restore a backup NV. The phone rebooted and I now have 1x signal and can call/text and receive calls/texts. What I don't have is data of any kind, and under about phone it says network unknown.
Any ideas?

Reverting back to stock on Rogers

Hey guys.
I have a Rogers X10(Canada) and I'm trying to go back to the latest stock firmware from Sony/Rogers because Cyanmogen has rendered my phone kaput with dropped calls, weird noises and a close friend of mine can't even call me anymore. Sometimes the calls will get through but then it's just this weird static and we can't hear each-other, other times it just says "Try again later. call cannot be completed". I considered it as maybe a SIM issue but even after purchasing a new one yesterday, still no dice. Along with horrible 3G and so forth.
So I did some research and tried to get it done, but SEUS keeps telling me that I have the latest version of the software and cannot repair/reinstall Sony's firmware. This is the only phone I have and I would very much appreciate some help in getting it back to stock in an hour and a half before I need to go to work :S It's Friday after all and I would like a phone tonight!

Thanks
Nevermind! I got it!

[Q] Flashed ED05 stock package and lost data access

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.

Phone not activated after Root

So I installed CM7 following the wiki on there site, using Revolutionary.io Everything worked fine, got s-off, installed the CWM recovery and then installed CM7. Well when I boot to CM7 the phone is telling me that it is no longer activated. It worked perfectly before. Ive rooted several EVOs on Sprint in the past and have no issues, didnt know if anyone had has some similar problems before and what they did to fix it.
This is a common Revolutionary bug.
You can try to take the battery out for a full minute and then go to settings, update, update profile. Then update the PRL. This did not work for me.
If that fails you need to try to send text messages and record the error codes when they fail. Call sprint from a different phone and give them those codes (dont tell them you rooted or s-off'ed) Hopefully you get someone with half a brain and they ask you for the IMEL code (behind the battery) and reset your phone. It took me 3 calls (and resets) to Sprint over a week but finally it stuck. On a friends phone it only took 1 reset by Sprint to get it to work. If you have any call or text failures after Sprint resets it you need to call them again.
I personally believe this is caused by a failure in the hands-free activation mechanism preformed after running Revolutionary.
Is it possible that you flashed a GSM rom aka the wrong radios? I'm assuming you mean it has no network connections by "not activated", some more detail might help you get a solution quicker.
Good luck!
Well after some reading, people were saying that I should go back to stock and then reactivate. So I did that and when back to CM7 and and nothing. Others were saying to play with the MSL buy dialing ##3282 or 228 but I didn't have the code for it so I just went back to CM7 and it turns out it works now. Not sure why but who the hell cares. Sucks that Revolutionary has those issues. Its worked great for me so far.
I had this happen too right after I rooted a week ago using Revolutionary.
It's no big deal and you don't need to waste your time switching roms or jumping through hoops just call Sprint and tell the your phone just stopped receiving calls.
In my case my 3g data worked but not texts or calls. I called Sprint and just said my phone wasn't making or receiving texts or calls and I wasn't sure why.
They just reset something on their end or whatever they do and I was good to go. No need to do anything else.

[Q] Mobile Network Connection Problems

Alright, here I go.
Yes, I searched the forum, and I can't wrap my head around this at all, so I'm just going to throw my specs out and hope for the best.
- T-mobile Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S T-959
- NOT unlocked...although I'm not sure, the phone seems to try and pick up AT&T but it's labeled as a Tmobile phone
- Using a Tmobile SIM (brand new replacement, works on other phones just fine)
- Rooted and Flashed to Hellybean Stable 15.11.12
- Generic IMEI (004999010640000)
Whenever I rebooted the phone after root/flash a week and a half ago, it would give me the IMEI mismatch warning but everything worked fine. It was only this afternoon that I jumped on the bus, took out my phone, and suddenly could not connect to any mobile network at all. I've restarted and cried and sat in a corner and now I don't know. It connects to Wifi just fine and that's how I've been getting by, but it'd be nice to text/sms again...
I kept running into this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30644270&postcount=116
But it makes no sense to me. Copy it to what folder? Where is /efs? I only have one /efs folder and it's in /sdcard/backup.
Before I return to stock and try to flash all over again, I want to try and fix this.
The same thing happened to me today!
I don't know what is going on. I flashed another modem but the problem is not solved.
I'll try Odin back to stock but it is not seeing my phone. That's another problem anyway.
I'll let you know if I get it to work.
Ok, it works now, but I still don't know if it was the generic IMEI or something else.
I went back to stock and it automatically connected so I could make calls and use internet. This also restored my IMEI
Then I rooted and installed CM7 and then Slim Bean and now everything works as usual with my restored IMEI.

Ahh shucks. Don't want to hijack your thread, but now my Vibrant is having connection problems too :crying:
It all happened when I let a friend borrow my phone to use his SIM card. It was a simple mobile SIM card and a day later when I tried to make a call, I got a "not registered on network" when I tried to make a call.
I was running bionix-v fishman so I odined back to stock to make sure it wasnt a ROM issue, and still have the same problems.
I still have a IMEI working and I can still get bars, but cant make any calls whatsoever. Not even emergency calls.
So back to my very old Motorola Backflip. But I can't seem to wonder how this happened when my friend used his sim card. So I know the problem is not my SIM card because it works on my older phone.
I'm still using the very old full SIM-card that is at least 2-years old and not the newer ones. Because my friend's SIM was brand new, you think that may have to do its the problem?
Any help appreciated. Heres a similar thread to my problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890353
Okay, this went from bad to worse to a nightmare.
My friend tried the Odin then back to Hellybean for me, and nothing changed at all.
So I went into recovery mode and tried to restore from an old system restore point.
After loading that my phone was permanently stuck on the Vibrant SAMSUNG screen.
I hunted around and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15330252
After a few tries I managed to get it into download mode and tried it, nothing changed.
Except now that I've moved on and tried to use Odin to just unroot it won't even go into recovery or download mode, it gets stuck on this screen:

or just the Vibrant start screen.

OK I'm going to use ur thread. I rooted my sgs1 seven hours after I got it. When it was a new phone. Have been running all kinds of roms. Somewhere along the line I lost my backup. But it was never really a problem. My imei is generic and couldn't make 911 calls but no worries there. I was running 4.2.2 something something using my phone. Then my battery was running low so I switched it with another and when it booted up no signal from that point on. I put my sim in my old g1 and it works. Put my wife's sim in my phone and a no go. Everything works wifi Bluetooth usb .....except won't connect to t mobile. I Odin back to stock and no luck. Imei still generic. Called tmobile no help at all. Funny thing is though it won't let me connect it shows I have a voicemail so its sending a signal and receiving one. I think if I had a way to put a new imei on it I would be OK. Another funny thing is my imei is the same number as the one posted above. So thinking it got picked up and blocked and that's why i m not getting service. I love this phone and would like to fix it if I can.does anyone have any ideas.

SIM not working, no IMEI or IMSI

Was just casually using my Amaze today with the official CM10 I've always had on it, and all of a sudden in the middle of a call the call dropped and the phone restarted. I thought it was just a random reboot as they are nightly builds. After it restarted there all of a sudden was no signal. I was a bit confused as just a minute ago before I started the call I was getting full bars on 4G. I tried rebooting multiple times, changing SIM's (the phone is unlocked), even trying different ROMs. All of them had the same problem. No cellular signal. I tried the *#*#4636#*#* to set the network to WCDMA, however it was always stuck on "unknown". No matter what I changed it too it would always reset back to unknown. Then I finally thought I had to resort to an RUU.
After reflashing the Mobilicity RUU (stock one that came with the phone) on gingerbread, the signal FINALLY worked! I was so relieved and went to download the ICS OTA update so I can start flashing ROM's again. Then all of a sudden in the middle of the update the phone restarted, and when it booted back up again, no signal again. I then went to check for software updates again and just wanted to try downloading it over WiFi. I accidentally clicked the phone info screen instead of software updates and I noticed that the IMEI, IMEI SV, Phone Number and IMSI were all "Unknown". This was really odd. *#06* also brought up an empty IMEI box. Then I clicked software update and it said there were no updates available. What? It just worked a while ago before the signal broke again!
I then pulled the SIM out to run the phone WiFi only until I could figure this out and I noticed that it wouldn't say "No SIM" with no SIM card inserted like it normally would, but would continue to say "No Service" as if there was a SIM but there was just no reception in the area.
I've been trying all day to flash multiple RUU's and the only one that fixes the problem is reflashing factory Mobilicity GB RUU. Then signal works again, however after any restart signal will break again and won't work anymore until another RUU reflash. Is there anything I can do? This is the only phone I have to use and it's driving me nuts! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Please acknowledge that I am not asking for a way to obtain or change my IMEI, as I know that is not allowed. I am asking for a way to fix the No Service issue I've been having.
HTC Amaze: Mobilicity 4G
ROM: Stock 2.3.4 at this point
Software number: 1.45.1800.2
Stock HBOOT, S-OFF, SuperCID
Now another thing has arises. I try to use it as an iPod/Media player now and just use it connected to WiFi. However the battery dies after about 5 hours of just standby, untouched. It's all because of "Cell Standby" using up battery. It uses up 4 and a half hours of battery and 100% of the time it's without signal. However, even if airplane mode is turned on to disable the cellular radio, it doesn't make any difference to Cell Standby.

I have had this issue twice ... first time it happened maybe 9 months ago and stayed like that for 3 weeks with me constantly flashing and wiping and s-offing no no avail ... one day I pulled out my sim and memory card and when I switched on the device it says "no simcard" it never said that b4 so I switched it off and put back in the sim card and memory card and poof it was suddenly working again...
The first time I recalled not installing anything for months before that event other than one app..... "What's App" I installed what's app and used it fine for 2 weeks and the phone just dropped in the middle of a call and never regained signal.... so I said since that was the only app that I had installed its probably the culprit, so I will never use it again since the phone started working again.
Sadly 7 months later a girl i was talking to kept insisting that I install whats app because she wants to chat more... Against my better judgement I went ahead and did it and it worked for 2 weeks and one morning .... poof "no service" no imei .... and the culprit .....? WHATS APP!!! sadly I have been in this state for a month now with no sign of it fixing itself again... thank you whatsapp... let me know if whatsapp was installed prior to your loss of imei

Actually my Amaze started working again as well! One day around two weeks back all of a sudden it decided to start working again, but I just left it there as I had already bought an Xperia ion to replace it. One day my friend asked if he could borrow it for a week or so, I let him and when I popped his sim in it worked, checked imei, apns, everything was good. However later that day during the lunch hour he took it out and told me there was no signal. First thing I did obviously was check the imei and of course, it had disappeared again. Nothing in window when typing #*06# and in settings imei would say "unknown"
I never used whatsapp before and he doesn't use whatsapp either, it's never been downloaded on the phone so it's not the problem for me. If I reflash GB RUU it will work again and imei will come back BUT only until you reboot, after reboot it will lose imei again. Honestly it seems to have a mind of it's own when it comes to working or not.
I'm Having the same issue right now anyone have any ideas?

Having the same problem too!
Tried removing the sd and sim, rebooting without, reinstalling them, rebooting with, and no luck.
I'm planning to flash the Debloated Stock rom to try that, then I'll try the latest RUU, will report back... (could be a few days)
Debloated stock did not work. Latest ICS RUU did not work. Original, very first, RUU didn't appear to work until I did a restart (without the Sim inserted).
So it's working for now, although it's Gingerbread...

Really? I've tried literally every RUU available for Amaze and still nothing. Before, after flashing a gingerbread RUU the IMEI would work during the first use but would break after restarting. Now when I do any RUU, IMEI won't work under any condition.
