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.
Link came from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1135020.html
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.

Hi all.
On Saturday night my Arc (debranded Rogers, locked BL, rooted with zergrush, running 2.3.4 on firmware .42) was running just fine. We were out at a friend's place and I was calling up photos, doing Web searches, no problem. Then yesterday when I turned the beast on it went into in a bootloop - SE logo, blank screen, SE logo, blank screen ...
I managed to boot into CWM to be able to turn it off, but that was as far as I got (and after a wasted afternoon trying to reflash I can't even get to CWM now).
PCC/SEUS are no help at all - after going through the 'Repair phone' process PCC says there's 'no software available for your phone yet'. I've tried reflashing generic f/ware with both Wotanserver and Flashtool 0.6.8.0; with Flashtool I get the same "Final data verification failed" error as reported recently here with an X10 after 99% complete. And this message from the bottom of the log makes me suspicious Flashtool wants me to change mode, which is just a little tricky when I can't start the phone:
INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
Current status is the phone boots to the SE logo, then displays an image of an exclamation mark over a phone - one of the least informative images I've seen, unless it represents a tombstone, which seems very possible! - then dies again.
I've looked at a couple of other XDA threads about bricks; the most promising-sounding one was talking about unlocked bootloaders, though, so I didn't try to flash the file they were talking about.
I might feel slightly better if I'd done something - anything! - like an OTA update or whatever to cause this, but all I did was turn the thing off for the night, as I always do.
Please, somebody: help!!
Thanks, in great anticipation.
Didcha tr y reflashing rom or kernel? Also factory reset might help.
Sent from LT18i @ Xda Premium
Thanks, ArmorD.
Just ROM - I can't do anything with the kernel with a locked bootloader, can I?
I'd try a factory reset if I could get into CWM, but I can't. I tried the reset method from here, but the phone still just goes to the SE logo, then the 'tombstone'.
Open to pretty much anything at this stage!
Well, what you can do is i think re-flash it with Update service, it might work than.
Here is the link to update service since you wont find it in SE website.

Bro, just reflash the system
I have just ended up with a boot loop on my arc.. I reflashed and it worked well!

So did I, and it didn't! But thanks anyway.
Further news: trying to eliminate possible causes, I've had the SD card checked (by inserting it in another device). It's quite readable. I didn't really think this problem would have anything to do with the card, but it seemed worth trying.
Well, idk. Sorry bro! Try to flash stock firmware with flashtool! And it might work! Also bricked=phone is not turning on at all! Like u press the power button and nothing is happening. Cheer up man u finally gonna fix it. ;-)

i have encounter tha triangle with ! inside and a phone beside it, it happens when i tried flashing my phone using wotanserver,i want to root my phone and tried to downgrade to .42 taiwan ftf,but the file in wotanserver is maybe damage and did not finish flashing,then i got that "tombstone" icon.
what i did was flash it with uk tft .42,and it restored my arc s,after that i flash it again with .62 taiwan ftf since i live in taiwan, i dont know if this will work on your phone. or maybe you already tried doing it. i just want to share what i happen to encounter. hope you fix your phone.
Untouchable: thanks - I wish I shared your faith!
asderth8000: thanks also. I tried a different firmware version tonight (US generic; previously World; also tried Australian) but same result - Wotan dies with 'ERROR: File write failed' while writing userdata.s08. It feels like that's close to the end of the process, which suggests Wotan and Flashtool are both getting hung up at the same place. Screenshot of Wotan error atatched - hope it gives somebody some ideas.
I appreciate your help, people. Keep them thoughts coming!
lol bro stop using Wotan use Flashtool!!!!!!! lol my faith is beyond the limit. I have bricked & ubricked my cell a couple of times;-)

I got that same error using .42 Taiwan ftf, maybe try UK, it works fine with me although I don't live in UK.
I remember mine was on userdata.07 when an error occured,I thought at first that it was my connection then I tried doing it again and it failed, then I tried the UK version and it goes well. Save your apn settings too.

It's BAAAACK!
First, and most importantly: I have a phone again.
The eventual answer was this thread, suggested by sdk16420. I hadn't tried it before because it was talking about unlocked bootloaders, but I fired it up this morning and ... guess what? I've spent most of the day restoring things, but I'm pretty much there - even rooted again (lost that along the way). The phone says there's an OTA update for .62 ready, but that failed and PCC doesn't believe it exists. Ah well, there's always something ...
Secondly: huge thanks to the XDA community for your support and suggestions. You guys are OK!

slightly different similar problem:
LT18i, 2.3.4 build .62.. or it was!
Wares used: SE Bootloader Lock/Unlocker, Flashtool
Flashtool really should come with a lot more documentation and user guide: I'm a software person, but C++ is my confortable realm!
Managed to flash CWM on there and got it stuck in a bootloop of CWM (trying to install RootXperia.zip): tried many other images, the best I can get is a Sony Ericsson Logo looping.. I guess my SD card is okay.
Can't find an up to date, stock, 2.3.4 build .62 to repair my phone..
Help! A Walkthrough of my problem helps me rinse my degree and this equates to thanks and donations, I am a desperate man right now!
Please hassle me for info, help me help you help me!!

Hi guys,
I had an Xperia Pro updated to ICS 4.0.4 stock, everything was working ok, one morning at work I couldn't get any signal in any part of the building, removed SIM and placed in a different phone, it was getting some signal, back to Xperia Pro, no signal again and when picking manually one of the networks was giving an error message ( like ... network unavailable or check if SIM inserted ), tried activating - deactivating plane mode, still no change, at a certain moment it rebooted by itself, but still no change.
Went home, tried a different SIM, same thing, did a factory reset of the phone, still same error and won't join any network.
Thought, OK it's time to try a different ROM, maybe more luck.
So unlocked bootloader, flashed Cyanogenmod 7.2, install went OK and all, but still the same problem, it won't join any network with any SIM I put in.
What can I try next ? Anyone has any idea ?
Thanks for any suggestion or advice
I think there is a problem with the hardware.

Hmmm ... it was in my pocket while going to work, I later noticed the lack of network signal, but there wasn't any shock or whatever, just regular commute from home to office.
Additional Info: I've remember something that might be relevant: after the reboot in CM7.2 it kept asking for the SIM unlock PIN I think, and it didn't work with the PIN that I knew the SIM had, after a couple tries I clicked "reject" to avoid locking the SIM.
Not sure if it means the phone become locked ?! should I try to unlock it ? It was normally already unlocked before, not sure if it makes any sense what I'm imagining here ...

I used the Central Europe because the file has a slightly newer date.
Had problems with using Flashtool under Windows, probably some driver wasn't correctly installed as my computer was freezing every time I connected in flashmode. Fortunately I have a dual boot and it worked under Ubuntu.
But no luck, still no service after back to ICS.
But I found some other thread on the net that pointed to check mend, and guess what ... doing a report resulted in "Currently blocked - CheckMEND has a record of this item having been blocked by one or more cell phone networks"
Now ... wtf can I do next ?!

Tried a couple of them, either they say they can't do anything ( if I don't have a contract with them ), or one operator told me have no blockage or record of this IMEI.
So ... more and more confused and clueless ...
getting into the SIM Lock menu of the phone ( using the *#*#-whatever-#*#* combination ), every digit is 0, I've read that it means it's "hardlock" but not sure what exactly this means and especially how can it be unlocked ?!

I got my phone around the begining of last month and decided the other night that it was time to root as I have rooted every android device I have owned since the wildfire s. I had previously taken the OTA so I was on vs98512b. I used LG flashtool to downgrade to vs98510b. The downgrade it's self went fine. I then rooted using stumproot again nothing out of the ordinary. I downloaded Supersu and enabled survival mode. I tried to check for New updates and it says "your phone is not registered" I found that to be strange so I checked some other settings and found that my imei was 000000000000000. I found that to be strange. I attempted to make a call and my phone switched to roaming and I lost all my signal bars. I performed a factory reset and after the reset I have all network function, I'm connected to Verizon 4g lte and can make calls, no more roaming. I checked the imei again at this point and it is still showing 000000000000000 and I was still unable to update. So I then reflashed the stock firmware for vs98510b. Again I had the roaming issue that went into being unable to connect to network. Again I performed a hard rest on my phone and got full network function back. I had a new micro SIM tucked away for a rainy day so I put the New SIM card in and activated it with no change to imei. What can I do from here? My phone is working fine with the imei being 000000000000000 it seems like the only issue is not being able to get an OTA, when I try using Verizon's upgrade assistant it won't even list my phone. If I check my Verizon it shows up as a non vow device. Thanks in advanced.

Of course not. That would have been to easy. If I had I would have been able to avoid making a new thread. I really do Google first. Except with the back up of the eds partition. I knew nothing about that until I searched imei problems.

VS985: Lost IMEI, Can't Make Phone Calls
I'm having problems with my VS985 after downgrading including losing the IMEI and especially the ability to make phone calls.
So I got a used VS985W that had 35B installed on it for one of my kids. Having put CyanogenMod on my LG G3 (VS985) successfully, I started down that path. I used the TOT method to flash back to 10B, then used KDZ to upgrade to 12B. Then I rooted, installed TWRP, and then CyanogenMod. But I couldn't make phone calls.
There are numerous things I've tried, but it's still unable to make phone calls, usually giving out of service area, but when trying to use the *#06# code, I get an error of "missing IMMI or such".
At one point I found the IMEI had gone to all zeros. I managed to find a method to fix that. I also switched out SIM cards between phones; same issue - it's the phone and firmware.
The only thing that seems to fix it is to go back to stock 35B. Then it makes phone calls. But then I can't root it and restore the apps/data we backed up from the previous phone (LG Spectrum running CM 11).
I have done hours of searching and reading these forums along with others. I've redone the downgrade and root and TWRP install and tried numerous things but still can't get phones calls in stock versions less than 35B or in CyanogenMod (12.1, not 13, which I did try to install but never could get it to reliably boot back up after an installation, so finally gave up and went back to 12.1).
Anyone heard of this before? I can't find it. I did see in this thread post #4:

Unfortunately this link doesn't work (moved or deleted). I'm continuing to search, but it almost seems like I managed to royally muck up some partition I didn't mean to? I've tried following the advice of a number of posts, too, on related, similar aspects, but I'm getting to a point of slight insanity. Along with a kid that wants their phone (and the old one has the older style SIM so not just that easy to deal with just switching unfortunately).
Any guidance or thoughts Much appreciated. Am going to continue to try the various things I'm reading about. Thanks, -Mark
Hey guys,
I need some help.
My LG F180L (i presume cause it said it in the settings but you never know) lost its signal and no the IMEI is unknown.
I didn't do anything with the phone, I bought this phone about 10 days ago and it was working fine then all of a sudden I couldn't hear or send voice over GSM calls (I could talk through whats app or viber) only calls from network wont let me hear or send voice, I could send text message though.
I thought that it might be a software issue and i factory reset the phone, that was it, No signal at all. now it wont find any network at all. Then i just thought of checking the IMEI and IMEI was unknown, all i did was factory reset the phone.
Then i actually thought that stock rom might fix it so i flashed the phone using LG flash tool and installed the KDZ "F180L30e_00".
ofcourse still no signal and the worst case scenario now it drains battery like crazy and wifi is working fine but apps gets stuck a lot.
I have backed up anything, I think if i can find older version of KDZ, then i can flash them may be that might fix the signal issue.
Please suggest me what to.
Thanks.
Regards.
Update : Ok i have flashed F180L20S_00.kdz, now its on 4.1.2 and it seems like the apps are working fine now, over the wifi every thing seems ok, but no signal.
I am not sure what to do, but i have heard flashing the basband might help, i am searching the internet but i cant find the basband, can anyone help ?

Thanks guys for getting back at me, i will try the sling baseband first and then probably will flash the international version baseband as well, i already dont have network, i dont have anything to lose
just one question though, if i am using 4.1.2, if i flash 4.4.2 baseband, will it work or baseband has to be exactly the same as the android version ?
