[Q] "Emergency calls only" after RUU downgrade, root, Cyanogen 6.1 install - Legend General

Hello,
I've just rooted my Legend for the first time. To do this, I downgraded to 1.31 via RUU, then rooted using the Modaco guide.
After the RUU downgrade, I noticed that the phone said "Emergency Calls Only". Being a complete noob, I continued along with the rooting process figuring that the root flash and later mod flash might fix the problem.
After the root, I still had emergency service only. Being excited that the root worked, I went ahead and installer Rom Manager, rebooted into Clockworkmod Recovery and installed Cyanogen 6.1.
Still "emergency calls only".
I looked in Network Operators to see if my provider (Bell Canada) was visible. Sure enough, it was there. I tried to join the mobile network but the device just sits there spinning until it times out. I set the correct APN settings, but of course that didn't help - I basic GSM service doesn't work, let alone 3G.
I then found an app called Secret Settings, which gives access to a bunch of nifty hidden configuration options. I worked my way through each of the preferred network types. None of them worked.
I assume that this has something to do with the radio firmware flashed during the downgrade, although it looked like radio was also flashed during root.
So here I sit with a fancy WiFi-only device that used to be a phone. Can this be fixed? What are my options?
Please help a very technical but new-to-android-modding noob out. Thanks in advance!

Well, I seem to have fixed my own problem. Awesome!
Bell Canada HTC Legend users - if you've downgraded, rooted and are finding you have no service, or emergency only service...
Download "Secret Setting" from the market.
Tap Phone Information
Scroll down to "Set preferred network type"
Select "GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)"
Exit to the home screen
In your phone's Settings menu, select Wireless and Networks
Select Mobile Networks -> Network Operators
Make sure you're connected to Bell
Reboot

Dial *#*#4636#*#* on your Phone, it does the same thing as "Secret Settings" and doesn't require you to install anything.
It's been listed a number of times on the forums. You also don't need to reboot to change to GSM/CDMA auto PRL, although you probably want to select WCDMA only.

No Mobile Data after flashing latest LeeDroid ROM

I just flashed to the lastest LeeDroid ROM. I love it! However, there is no mobile data. I cannot make or receive calls. The mobile data setting is greyed out, I cannot change anything there.
I've tried searching for similar problems with leeDroid, but I have not found much. Does anyone know how I can fix this??
HTC Inspire 4G on AT&T network.
Full wipe and re-flash, and see if that works.
If not it's possible you have an incompatible radio/ril/rom combination; make sure you use the recommended radio for your rom.
I try to avoid flashing radios as much as possible because if something goes wrong, it will permanently brick - so read all the instructions *very* carefully and only do it if you have to!
I installed that ROM too and lost my data connection. But there is a patch, V5.1.1 that'll correct this problem. Just download and flash it in cwm.

Open the dialpad,
key in : *#*#4636#*#*, as soon as you key in last *, Setting Menu will pops up.
>> Click "Phone Information'
Scroll down.... until you see "Set preferred network type", probably set to "WCDMA preferred".
If you are on GSM network, change to "GSM auto (PRL).
Out from the menu... then see whether mobile signal on...
to make sure, re-boot.
Some rom, even set "WCDMA preferred" as a default, still can connect to GSM network some doesn't.... So manually set as above will be the best way, I think.
Hope can be solved, buddy.
sounds like the radio needs a re-flash, flash the recommended or latest one.
Install Latest update on your Rom
zunaedsaki is cooking
im having the same problem. For whatever reason clockworkmob wont let me flash any ROMS at all. i dont understand what the deal is.
Guys, i had this problem on my I9001 but the solution is very simple...
1. Get an android phone (your dads, sister's or brothers or whoever's) and insert your sim in it then browse to APN settings.
2. Copy down the information.
3. Insert your sim back into your phone.
4. Go to APN settings and manually type all the information
you will get your mobile data working...

[Q] stock 4.4.2. No service, data works fine

Dear all,
You are my last resort. I've been trying to find out how to fix the problem, but no success...
My Note3, 9005 (bought new, without contract), has never been rooted or modified in any way. Current version is 4.4.2. IMEI is fine. Well, I am a regular user, who keeps updating the phone, when there's an update from samsung OTA.
I've been using the phone for 1.5 year, everything was fine. I recently switched the operators (Belgium) maintaining the same phone number. And there the problems started.
Very often I get "no service" message, although data connection works fine. I tried automatic and manual selection of the network, but the problem remains. When I select automatic network, I get the message "registerred on network", but "no service" sign remains and get no call connection (data connection works fine). When I select the network manually, I get a brief message "registerred on network", but still no service and then "the network is unavailable"/
I contacted the operator, they claim that my account is fine, they see no problems on their systems. The interesting thing is, that other operators SIMs work fine with my Note. Apparently, it is only my current SIM which fails to work. I have two different phone numbers SIMs from this operator and they both have a frequent "no service" in my Note. I have also requested a new SIM, which again did not work... The same SIM works fine in Sony Xperia. I have also tried that same SIM in galaxy s3 (LTE). And there was again a problem with connection, i.e. no service, but data functions fine. I have also tried different modes (3G, 4G), the problems remain. It looks like it is the problem with samsung devices.
This is the time when I really need the phone for my work...I keep failing my clients because they cannot get hold of me. And changing the phone number and operator would be very inconvenient at this time.
Is there anything I could do to fix it?

try to flash stock firmware of your country via odin. i hope its work.
Nico, many thanks!
I understand my phone was brought from the UK. But currently I am in Belgium. Could you please tell me, what country firmware should I use, what specific firmware I have to flash? (I would appreciate if someone could refer me to a download link...I am not very good with these types of things, I am afraid to mess things even further...)
rooted, reinstalled stock 4.4.2. Now when making a call, the network dissapears and connection dissapears and becomes "no service", therefore the problem remains. data connection works fine.
guys, please advice, what can i do to fix it? should i go for other ROMs (not stock), would that help?
i've read about ariza patch, but did not understand whether it is available for note 3 4.4.2.

Joku, thank you very much for your reply!
But I think I did exactly what you have recommended in the first attempt - flashed the stock version. Please see the pics of kies and suggested sammobile firmware attached. ...But "no service" problem remains. Althoug, I must say, it goes away from time to time (better than it was without reinstall). Maybe I should go for other country firmware (for example Belgium, where I am currently based and where the problems persist)???
After reinstall my firmware is:

All seems ok. Make a thing:
1. Backup your data and factory reset your phone (Pic attached)
2. Tell me if you have service then.
This is obviously a carrier issue as you stated yourself other carriers work fine. You can waste your time throwing things at the problem, but I'm highly confident it's not going to be fixed by anything you do.

It does sound like a provider problem...
Try a factory reset first, just to be sure. Best do it through recovery, so you can wipe the cache as well.
Does the no service happen everywhere? Or just in specific places?

Thank you all for your replies.
The problem is that the same 'no service' SIM works fine in another phone (sony xperia), the provider will claim that it is note3 fault.
I did factory reset after I reinstalled the stock version.
It looks like ' no service' appears when the phone changes the cell/network towers when travelling from one location to another. .. But I can't say that it is always the case. I just don't find any logical reason to fully explain that.
The weirdest thing is that data connection works fine always.

It is probably related to the way your provider does the 2G/3G/4G band allocation and switching - what provider is that?
You can also try to set the data to "3G only" vs "LTE/3G/auto" and see if is any difference.
The provider is Base (via virtual network provider).
I've tried everything, including changing to 4g, 3g, etc. Nothing helped : (
Should I try flashing different modems? The question is, which versions should I go for. ..?
updated to lollipop. no changes
I still haven't solved this issue. I just updated to lollipop (via CrashRom), the problem with "no service" remains.
Is there anyone with similar problems, who was able to find an answer? What else could I try? Should I try flashing different modems? Could anyone help me choosing which modems should I try?
pleeeease.... : )
anyone please?
can I try flashing different (older) modems? would that mess up my curent rom?

Check this post for downgrading from Lollipop to KitKat.
Regarding to "No service" problem, go to the ServiceMode MAIN MENU and try NV REBUILD.
To open the ServiceMode MAIN MENU:
- If you have root, install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Secret Codes' > *#27663368378# > 'Launch 0'.
- If you don't have root, open the dialer > *#0011# > Menu - Back > Menu - Key Input > Q0 > wait... until it appears
iritoi said:
firstly, many thanks for your advice to rebuild nv.
i did as you explained, but... it did not help.
i went through all of the options available, flashed stock firmware, flashed various roms. nothing helps. what's interesting that i have call availability (service) for some time, but when i move to different area, the service dissapears and i have to turn on/off airplane mode. and this happens with specifically one provider (mobile vikings/base - belgium). if i insert the other provider sim, note 3 works fine.
my imei is ok.
pleeease help me to fix this problem. what else can i do? is theo nly option left to change provider?

(1) + (4) ==> your Note should be OK.
(2) + (3) ==> the SIM is OK.
Currently I have no idea.
Your best bet is flashing back to original stock firmware.
And try to check your SIM card in your Note 3 by follow these steps:
In the ServiceMode MAIN MENU, select DEBUG SCREEN > SIM INFORMATION, you will see 3 options. Select every option, capture screenshots and post it here more more checking.

In the band frequency it says "unexpected value". Maybe that has something to do with the problem... Or am I being listened by secret services : )

Mine are the same.
Except for the 1st screen: SIM Phase = 2; SIM voltage class = 3V.
The 2nd and 3rd screens are the sme.
is there a way to see the reason why the network is being disconnected via service menu?
...because when i turn airplane on/off, the network comes back. but when i dial the number it disappears right away with the message "network not available".

Yes there is. Here is how:

N910-S Network Mode

I recently bought an unlocked N910S but I seem to be having some problems with LTE (I live in the US) and can't seem to access the network mode menu in 'more networks' (the option is grayed out).
Some things I've tried:
Added the access point for my provider (Cricket/AT&T)
Booting in safe mode (no changes).
Flashing other regions' stock roms (N910T, N910V, N910T); Odin gets stuck at NAND wrtie start and only N910S stock rom seems to work.
Accessing Network Mode settings through the hidden menu (can get LTE if LTE17 or LTE All is selected but can't make or receive any calls).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

changing the network type on Nougat

Hi all.
I have the A2017. Before Nougat came out, I was using the US firmware (B29).
I was able to change to network type to LTE only using the service menu (*#*#4636#*#*).
Since 7.1.1 came, I began using the Original, Chinese ROM (currently using 7.1.1 B12).
I still have the same service menu, but the phone doesn't respond to any setting I set for the network type. Only when changing in the Dual Sim settings menu it does respond to my settings, but there is no LTE only setting there.
Can someone who uses the US B19 please check if it works for them? If it does, I will try to flash the US ROM.
Thanks.
Changes in that menu only apply to sim 1. If you're trying to edit sim2, then no go. Still works here (for sim1) on a2017u.

So you're using B19? Then I should too. Because I only have one sim, and it doesn't work for me at all.
I hope it's only related to the ROM and not to the modem, as I do have to keep the Chinese modem anyway.
I'm not sure how that menu works on a 2017G. You could try the app from the play store Network Signal Guru. There's an option in there call change RAT settings. That allows you to change network modes too. It does require root.

Nokia 6 "select radio band mode

I accidentally selected the United States radio band in the *#*#4636#*#* phone information menu. Since I'm not from the US this disables the cellular radio on the phone for my region.
There's no other options in the "select radio band" menu other than "united states". Online solutions mention an "auto" setting but there's no such option in that pop up menu.
I've tried a factory reset to resolve this but it didn't work. I've also tried different radio settings in that phone information activity (LTE, CDMA etc). I've tried resetting network settings in the system settings app. I've also tried reinstalling the latest OTA update (September) through recovery but it did not change the radio back.
Erasing the modem state using fastboot won't work since the device has a locked bootloader. I assume it fails for me because of a locked bootloader anyway. This was a suggested solution for others and I feel like it would work.
I think a full firmware flash would also fix it but I don't see any TA1033 firmware files anywhere and Nokia still haven't released any tools either.
What do you think?
I use the Indian version. I'd faced the same problem while doing the same *#*#4636#*#* settings. I also did all the above solutions which u mentioned. At last I had to go to Nokia service centre and told them that this happened all of a sudden and didn't disclose 4636 setting thing,as they might use it as a void of warranty issue. They simply rolled back the system to June version and the phone was back to normal. But one thing that I'm facing now is that I'm now not getting any update to the latest one. I think they might have block it or something coz I don't know much about android. I need to go to the service centre soon. If u r going to the service centre make sure that they don't block the update setting.
