VU2.39 Lost Radio...Out of Service???? - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

Beautifully working VU2.39. Then decided to add new lock ring. Totally messed up phone.
Restored with ROM Manager to prior situation, but have totally lost phone radio (and therefore phone, 3g etc.) Have tried restoring many times, tried airplane mode, wiped cache...all with no solution.
Shows no service, no CDMA or other option exists in settings, phone info shows:
Signal Strength =0
Mobile Network Type unknown
Service state= out of service
What did I do here??? How to fix???

Have now done factory reset and called Verizon. They tried to change manual codes but to no avail. Seems my radio got fried by applying the Captain America launch ring. Is this possible that that was the cause. Worked perfectly before I patched this today.
Help! I don't want a new phone as it will come with 2.3.4 not rootable.

2.3.4 is definitely rootable. And I don't think a ring would change that much. Have you tried flashing a New radio?

I tried flashing new radio. No difference.
I just can't believe that the sense link patch would have actually physically damaged the radio and killed the system, but I cannot get anything to "activate" the radio. In manual program mode ##778, the display settings say "radio version 1.09.01.0622", so the software should be there. But it cannot find the hardware.
I have matched my NAM settings and Home SID to the same as my wife (her phone is fine).

Try flashing this Radio. It's the last one on the list.

No difference whatsoever! So what do you think has happened and how and why? How could flashing the Captain America htc unlock ring have caused such destruction?
Any how could it fry or totally immobilize the radio? I really do not want to replace the phone, but am giving up hope for a solution. It's got to be either something very simple, or the radio did get fried.
And I still don't see where I can unlock and root 2.3.4 on this forum or at the Revolutionary site.

Well...... Was the lockring made for your specific ROM and phone? If not, that may be why.
Have you tried any other ROMs to make sure it's not just something interfering in the ROM itself?
To root 2.3.4, you have to downgrade the hboot v.98 to v.97 following these steps found here.

SHould this have bricked the radio??
Can you resend root 2.3.4 link, as the one above goes back to the radio instructions.
Many thanks.

Post edited so the link for 2.3.4 root should work. But, yeah, that's for Thunderbolt, not the DINC2. Try flashing another ROM or full wipe/reflash of VU 2.39. Don't apply any mods until you find out if it works, and see if someone can port the lockring to the DINC2.

Wiped twice regular and dalvik, installed the clean ROM for phone I had saved. DEAD Radio. Bummer, but thanks for you help.
Mobile Network Type= unknown
Service State= out of service
This has not changed with any fixes I have tried.

What about the .722 radio?? Earlier you said you had the .622 radio which is an older one. If that doesn't work, boot into hboot and factory reset (I think this works). Then you'll probably have to re-root. Otherwise, you can get a new phone, and root via the downgrade.

Absolutely no solutions anywhere. Tried everything twice! New phone on the way. Very frustrating situation.

Unbricked but No Service?

Ok just recently unbricked my phone and started flashing once again. First I did the HARD SPL change from 2.03 to 2.10 Olipro. I flashed the current vp3G a few times but I was getting no phone service. I flashed the schaps and it did the same. My was getting no service and when I clicked on settings it said this.
Unknown SIM status.
Only emergency calls can be made without a PIN.

Did some googling and found some sources where it said my default PIN was either 1111 or 2222. I went ahead and called ATT and explained to them I was getting no service but of course never mentioned I had a cooked ROM. They said the same that the default was 1111. Of course for some reason when I was talking to them I could not get to the settings to enter it. I told them I would call them back.
Finally got to enter it in and nothing. It is still not working. I'm in some desperate need of suggestions. Thank You.

Flash the OEM ROM from your provider. This should get your service back if your using a legit SIM
i see you have unbricked your phone, try loading up a new radio
http://rapidshare.com/files/60589318/radio1.54.07.00.rar
oh yea, thats the radio im using for my 8525, its the updated version 1.54 it works pretty well, hope that fixes your problem
I have that same problem but it seems that changing the radio does not work, although I havent tried every single radio. Some radios will give say i have no service even when i don't have the sim card in (it should be saying no sim)
This might help
If you are in USA and if you have a CINULAR sim card in your phone go to a AT&T store for a FREE AT&T sim card. It might resolve the issue as AT&T just changed some settings in some towers.

More reading and more reading. Ok I realize I have no GSM and no Radio. When I try to install radio it gets stuck on 0% then locks me out. Then I'm stuck in the Tri-Color mode and am forced to reflash ROM. I'm thinking "Problem 5" is the problem I'm having but can anyone confirm or help me out please.
My ATT flash screen says:
R None
G None

That means I have no Radio and GSM correct? What do I do?
warranty?
How far into your warranty are you, assuming you're still under warranty? Same thing happened to me. I played stupid with AT&T tech support (then Cingular), had no distinguishable drop marks or water damage, and they replaced it under warranty I even had it stuck on the bootloader screen If you're still under warranty, try to load an oem rom back on it and see if you can get them to replace it.

Is there anyway to completely erase everything that is on the hermes at once? except for the stuff on the eeprom, i already had to deal with that
can no one help us?
i heard from my friend who works at an att non corp store that just recently non corp stores were given the ability to give the new contract discounts. that he just has to make a 5 min call and it gets approved and they can offer you the 2yr discount although it might extend your contract.
reason im saying this is even if your not up for an update, any att store should be able to (if the guy chooses to be helpful) hook you up with the discount regardless of how long or how little you've been in contract.
just food for thought in case you cant find a solution.
when I reset my device i see no GSM ocassionaly, well since an hour ago, its been saying nothing but No GSM, I have tried to fix it using the unbrick direction in the wiki, but to no avail.

[Q] no cell service on cm7

Hi all I have just registered on xda but i'm using it from quite a while.
I'm using htc wildfire bought from my friend fresh from box it was in Era operator currently t-mobile. My operator is Orange. I was using my phone with stock rom for about 10months and decided to root it and flash custom rom. I used guide from this site and after bricking it second attempt was successful. So I was using CM7 installing apps and all over. And now i have really serious problem. My phone tells me there is no service.
What I done trying to repair:
Changing 2g to 3g and back.
Restart
Factory reset from menu
Factory reset from CWM
Battery pull
dialing *#*#4636#*#*
re flashing radio
Installing newer version of CM7
Some of methods seems to work for about 1-3days. But now none of them is working...
Please help

Ok thanks for really fast reply.
temporarily seem to work factory reset. dialing *#*#... also seemed to work for some time.
My radio is Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10 that one was original and i flashed the same version, but I'm not sure if this is the problem.
Now I'm using my old phone so sim card is good.
EDIT:
My wifi is not working. Possible reason: I was playing with reverse tethering and one method via wifi required to put wpa-suplicant or something like that. Maybe this file also corrupted rest of services? GPS works fine...

After rooting and installing CM7 everything was perfect that was about 4 months ago. Problems with cell service started when i changed my sim card to surf over internet, and then i used notification bar application 2g/3g to force 3g. And since then I have problems, somewhere i read there could be problem with sim connection. Now i'm using my htc without sim card and when i dial *#*#4636 in gsm disconnects: DATA State DcInactiveState disconnected with last try at 00:59 fail because No Error. And What I noticed when i wanted to change network type in this menu it was returning always to previous state... What is interesting my phone tells me that signal strength is: -79dBm 19asu.

i suggest to carefully check your APN settings and try out the different modes for mobile data (force wcdma might fail in some conditions if I'm correct - check prefer and the other modes, too, if they'll do)

APN settings are correct. I checked them on orange site, on many forums and tried them all. Currently my phone runs wdcma preffered. Now i'm about 20-30m from the transmitter. And still "no cervice". Any other ideas? Somebody told me to install stock rom and then install cm7 on it. But i have no idea how to do it. I can't remember i wrote this before but wifi is working. Sim card is good but i'm using it on nokia 6030. I tried even to put some paper to push harder sim card to better contact and no result.
Hmm, so if you double checked the apn settings and you did activate data in settings/network& wireless and if the SIM seems to be ok it's indeed a good idea to flash a different radio... look at the index thread linked above - all the files and information there. Try the radio that ends with 18.25 (bear in mind to use clockworkmod 2.5.x for flashing).
If that still doesn't work, just flash the current one again to see if that will do (radio problems usually are caused by the missing possibility to wipe or format the radio partition itself).

Have you tried to restore the backup of your stock rom with the new sim?
This may solve the problems associated with Sim Toolkit
If everything works you just have to do a clean install of CM7
is an attempt, but if you do not know what else to do ... (I would try) :silly:

Ok. My friend have htc wildfire on stock ROM. I would like to make copy of his ROM. I know i need to s-off his phone, push revolutionary recovery, and just make backup? If I'm thinking right this would give me zip of his ROM that I can copy to my SD-card and install it like other ROMs?
Thanks in advance for repy.

If you are s-off then download the first rom in this post, drop it on your sd card and rename it to PC49IMG.zip then boot into hboot and let it update. When your phone boots up again it will be stock but still s-off so you won't need to mess about unlocking everything again.

[Q] Can't Connect to Mobile Network after Custom ROM Flash

Hi all, so I'm in quite the predicament. I can't seem to reestablish a mobile connection via Verizon at all since I've overwritten the stock ROM with Cyanogen. I have Inc2, now loaded with CM7, awaiting some help.
First I unlocked the bootloader and flashed CWM Recovery.
Next I flashed Build 4 CM10 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934288 <--check it out here.
I couldn't establish any network connection whatsoever. So i wiped and flashed CM9 with the hopes it would be more stable. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932573 <--again check that one out.
Again, no network connection. Lastly, I reverted to CM7 (because it was the last stable release directly from Cyanogen). http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Vivow_Info <--looky here.
I've searched far and wide, trying everything possible. From simply switching on/off airplane mode to manually typing in the Verizon APN. I just can't establish network connection now...and the kicker - I forgot to backup the stock ROM so I'm currently stuck. Please help
This thread may be of some help. Didn't do me much justice however. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691017

Have you tried changing your mobile network? Settings > more> network mode
Been there. You can try different radios from here, but BE CAREFUL. Take the following precautions:
Because you're on Verizon, only download 'x.x.01.xxxx' radios.
After putting the ZIP file on the SD card, verify the MD5 hash to ensure the file didn't get corrupted during download or during transfer to the SD card.
Plug the phone into your charger before installing. You don't want it shutting off during install.
Don't flash the same radio that your phone already has installed.
If all else fails, try the stock 2.3.3 RUU from HTC. If you can find a working download link to that, please share.

I've tried everything in the books. Manually setting my APN according to the Verizon settings. Also did trial and error booting and rebooting each network type to no avail.
A few things I noticed in the CM9 ROM (maybe bugs?):
The preferred network mode typically defaults to GSM/WCDMA upon reboot
The APN I create often disappear upon reboot.
Mobile Networks>Network Operators will either search endlessly or sometimes find both AT&T and T-Mobile as options, both of which won't actually connect as I have a Verizon SIM.
And in response to Slinkwyde:
To verify the MD5 hash, what needs to be done more specifically? (I'm learning as I go ) Did flashing a radio do the fix for you? I'll try this suggestion and post results.

Yes, flashing a radio worked for me. The simplest way would be to use an MD5 checker app. Use the app to make sure the file on your SD card matches the MD5 value given in the radio thread I linked to.
One more precaution: Don't ever flash the same radio version that your phone is already using. That caused problems with the original Incredible and might also cause problems with the Incredible 2. To see what radio version you have, go to Settings and look around in About phone, Phone info, or something to that effect. "Baseband" is another word for radio.

Short version: For Verizon, you want CDMA with EvDO.
Longer overview: CDMA vs GSM, and what it means for the Incredible 2
Verizon Wireless and Sprint use CDMA. AT&T and T-Mobile use GSM. CDMA is popular in the United States, but around the world GSM is far more common. All GSM phones use SIM cards, but most CDMA phones don't. The two kinds of CDMA phones that do have SIM cards are world phones (phones with both CDMA and GSM) and LTE phones (faster data speeds).
The Incredible 2 is a world phone (without LTE) and comes with a Vodafone SIM for overseas travel. This Vodafone SIM also has Verizon Wireless branding on it. The Verizon Wireless company is jointly owned by Verizon and Vodafone, a European carrier based in the UK. Verizon world phones have to be unlocked to use AT&T or T-Mobile, because Verizon doesn't want their customers switching to a competitor.
SIM cards make it easy for GSM users (not you) to use their carrier account in another phone. They can just swap the SIM. For CDMA carriers (such as Verizon), swapping service to a different phone requires contacting the carrier.

You don't need the sim card at all then, you're CDMA. If you're not on it already i would recommend flashing the latest ics firmware, it can be found in the ICS leak ROM thread posted by nitsuj17 , it includes the newest radio

Okay so what you both are suggesting are to just install the firmware, assuming I am already running the CM9 ROM? Because the firmware includes the radio. And this is done by renaming the firmware to PG32IMG and flashing it through hboot? Would this be an easier course of action than installing a radio alone? My phone is S-ON and if I'm correct, S-OFF needs to be active to install a radio.
Yes, you can install the firmware to get the radio, and the file name needs to be PG32IMG.zip for hboot. S-OFF is generally required for this sort of thing, yes.

Can anybody link to such a file? I cant seem to find one anywhere.

Also, I may have a potential reason as to why I'm having this ***** of a problem. I originally unlocked bootloader using the HTCdev tool. At the time it was my understanding that the process did not matter as long as the results were the same. However it seems now that using their tool makes it so you can't flash radios and need to extract and separately flash ROM kernels. So does this mean flashing any of the CM ROM's I tried never included the radio portion?
Just stabbing at ideas. Feel free to verify/call me out.

Roms NEVER include a radio, its always separate. something weird has happened to you, I'm sure flashing new radio would fix it for you but you're dev unlocked which is gay Lol. When you flashed the cyanogen ROMs did you pull kernel and flash like you were supposed to, if not i can't believe you got it to boot but that may be a problem also.

If it helps, here is the process that I have used every time I flash anew ROM, working every time (excluding the radio of course.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujFWZbgj6bY
Because I HAD (I actually just reverted back and am currently getting S-OFF to flash a radio) the HTCdev unlock, I manually booted the boot.img after entering recovery and wiping/formatting all the necessary things. Skimming the video might give you a better idea.
However I'm now hoping S-OFF will allow me to reroot, flash CWM, CM9, and of course a radio. Currently in the process of trying to run Revolutionary.

Can't connect to my home network carrier

OK, I install the RR Nougat 7.1.1 android version on my htc one m8. I have been using it for a while now without issues,
but just yesterday, my phone had low battery and it turn off.
After restarting the phone, could not connect it to my home country network.
I can't access the carrier settings menu as the 'com.android.phone has stopped' pops up.
I have most tuts on the forum but not much help. Even factory reset does not work.
After factory reset, Sprint apns settings are on the apn setup menu but after i delete them, still can't connect to my home country network carrier.
Please some help here guys.

Try flashing the ROM again, to try to get the "process has stopped" error to keep coming up.

Does this mean you have your local network's APN info entered, or no?
Do you have voice service at least?

Well tried that several times but to no avail

Yeah, I deleted the sprint APNS and registered that of my local network carrier but still no avail

Then this has nothing to do with APN, since voice service does not rely on APN (APN only applies to data cell service).
A few folks have had this issue of "no SIM" and no service after letting the battery die on the Sprint version M8. But I'm not sure what the solutions is. You may search around, as I know the issue has been posted a couple times recently. I suggested the Sprint RUU for one user. But it inexplicably caused the device to brick.

If s-off, try a lower level (such as kitkat 4.4.2 or 4.4.3) Sprint RUU and see if that helps.
You can only try this with s-off. If s-on, you can't "downgrade" (run older RUU then version presently on the phone) by RUU as it will fail the version check.
Also, don't flash any other carrier version RUU (only Sprint) as doing so with s-off may lead to permanent damage on a Sprint device due to incompatibility (even on a properly working Sprint M8).

I downgraded right down to version 4.2.2 with s-off and still could not solve it. Guess will just have to get a new smartphone and strike off htc products on my wish list

The main issue, is that you bought the wrong version for your location. It's my strong opinion, that the Sprint version should never be bought by anyone except those using the US Sprint network. It's intended primarily for the Sprint CDMA network.

Yeah, your probably right, but I learnt that by flashing a new radio (radio frequency in HTC phones directly installs the network carrrier base band) can solve it but can't get the right radio image. Though am not a 100% sure but have tried some radio images but still no result.

If you are talking about radio images from other (non-Sprint) versions of the M8; radio from any other version is not compatible, meaning it won't work with the Sprint version, and can possibly lead to a permanent radio brick. This is for the same reason as I previously cautioned you not to run RUUs for another version M8.
If you are talking about flashing different radios specifically intended for the Sprint M8, that isn't any different from trying the various Sprint M8 RUUs (which install different radio image along with every other partition).

If you have US unlocked HTC 10, see if this will work for you. There is a link to file at the bottom. http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-10/news/

The link is to an ruu, which will reflash all partitions to stock, including radios.

But I don't want stock radios, right? I have an unlocked 10 that I am trying to make work with Verizon's radios without converting it to a Verizon phone.

OK it sounded like you wanted to get back to fully stock.
So you flashed the VZW radios and it stopped working? Not sure what steps you followed but the procedure is detailed in this thread and includes steps to reset your modems, which you will probably need to do to get things working properly.

NO. I bought an unlocked HTC 10 phone brand new. I updated the phone, flashed the verizon radios, s offed and all that jazz. It is still an unlocked phone, but it worked with verizon's radios for several months. Yesterday, I factory reset the phone because people told me I wouldn't need to reflash the radios so I reset the phone and now my data does not work (i.e. the radios aren't working). Not sure what I need to do to fix it.

No data does not necessarily equal radios not working. It could be a settings thing, especially after a factory reset.
Again, have you looked at the thread I linked you, including the OP which tells you how to enter the "secret menu" of the dial pad? Reset your modems?

Ok IDK how to reset modems, but I did check the secret menu before making this thread; I failed to mention it. The preferred network type is LTE/WCDMA/GSM auto (PRL) and the thread says "CDMA/EvDOGSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto". I do not see this option. Last night I went to sunshines live chat support and talked to beaups, but he sounded confused with my situation. Perhaps I was not explaining it clear enough. How do I get this "radio" to appear in the drop down box?

Steps for resetting/wiping your modem settings are in the thread I linked you, from the thread do a search for 'modemst1' and you'll see it.
Other than that not sure what else to suggest, but you're probably better off asking in that thread and perhaps @dottat can help you.
