##786# , enter MSL, reset, ok.
I reverted back to my first backup right after rooting. Others have not.
When I first did this it locked on the HTC bootscreen.
I rebooted (call+menu+end call)
It started up but said it could not activate
Did not enter google stuff or any of this. No connection
Went to menu>settings>about phone>system updates>update profile
After about 2 minutes it was done and I had access again.
Thanks to AvalancheMods, MrTip and Damageless.
Has anyone called sprint to flag your account for a prl update? To see if you can update it that way/
Hmm...just last week I restored my nandroid of Gumbo 1.5C to update my PRL to the latest. No problems.
With all this unknown carrier/operator talk, I decided to restore the same nandroid and try to update profile and PRL, no dice. I get the error 1012 code. Weird.
I also restored a nandroid of one of the first versions of DarchLegend that I knew showed Sprint on the lockscreen. Now it doesn't.
Somehow somewhere we lost it.
Anybody notice our change in pri versions?

I have 2.11_002
Is this not correct?
That fairly new i believe
hmm the only problem ive had is no data.. to i call sprint and they fixed it.. but i dont see a network on the lockscreen.
My pri (and I just ruu-ed) is 1.70_003.
I call sprint and they couldn't fix it....
the guy said to me "it looks like is a software issue, take it back to where you got your phone and have them replace your phone"
bullcrap ....I believe this problem can be fixed ....I'm no dev, but I am 100% sure there's someone in the xda dev forums that can fix it..
someone did in damages new thread i believe
yeah that was me. not a freaking clue why it worked either
alright that was bizarre... ok so now I have the sprint location back on my phone. I am all the way back to stock. here is what I did, and this is all just worked for me. no idea why this worked. I have my nandroid back up if that will help anyone. I am unrooted at the moment.
so I ruu 1.56 back to stock from r2 after there was no location service. stock radio was on the r2
still no network id.
flashed back my nand back up
no id
ruu again
no network id
rooted with flips kitchen using the newest recovery image
flashed new radio, and restored my nand
no id
ruu'ed again
no id
rooted with flips kitchen using the newest recovery image
restored nand, wiped/factory reset data, dalvick, battery, and rotation
no id
ruu'ed
sprint network id
not a damn clue why that worked
What's your PRI and PRL?
please note this is back on the 1.5 kernel
PRI - 1.70_003
PRL - 60662
Weve pretty much narrowed it down to those with the issue have a PRI of 2.11_002, those with a different one seem to be fine. The next issue is trying to figure out how to change it.
I'm curious to see if now I can get to DC r2 with out issue. but not that curious until a solution can be figured out. 2 hours of flashing back and forth just to restore is not a solution I want to repeat

Not so much network issues, but does Sprint show up on your lockscreen, and in settings, and in tashbar when you drop down.

All - I had a hell of a week getting my Streak up and running again. I finally was able to get it going thanks to certain people on this thread (hats off). I was thrilled with I saw 2.2 Froyo after I ran the QDL Tool.
Then I upgraded to DellStreak 1.5.3 with no problem (at this point I have given up on 1.6.1 as every time I try to upgrade, I get stuck on the DellStreak splash screen...even after restores and clearing the cache).
NOW >> I put the Sim card in and it won't recognize any data or call...the towers are greyed out....
I tried to put in some APN setttings, but after I save them, the APN screen goes blank (as if they weren't even saved).
Any help here? To er, turn my phone into a phone?????
Thanks!

check if your streak is showing baseband version as 'unknown'. if it is then you will have to flash the right baseband for you
Sounds like either a baseband issue, or you need to do a factory reset via stock recovery.
Edit: ahh, just realized that u tried flashing 1.6.1...do this:
flash 1.5.1 and let boot. After that do a factory reset (hold both volume buttons when powering on) by selecting fac reset/restore option. Then reflash 1.6.1. You should not have any issues given your baseband is up to date via streakdroid site.
hi peeps, this is my 2nd phone i messed up this week lol, thought i would plug the phone in to laptop and see if there was any official updates for it as it was on 2.1 and ive never tried to root this phone (yet) any way said there was an update so i started it going and it lost connection and crashed so searched for hours on the net how to get the phone back up and running after it bricked and downloaded kdz update software, had trouble to get it to flash phone but it did it and i thought every thing worked again till i noticed that the phones signal is full and shows my network provider but i cant make any calls out and cant receive any same with text messaging but and this is strange i can use the internet on it and i dont mean connecting through wifi, ive tried to re flash it through kdz updater and keep getting this launching SW update, unpacking KDZ, KDZ file extraced, extract file error ===FINISHED===
so i have no idea why its doing that worked before, also get problems some times with keeping the phone connected to laptop and installed windows 7 drivers and disabled the phones modem driver
i have also phoned my network and asked them if theres a problem and they tried to phone the phone and couldnt work out the problem as the imei is not blocked and is still present on the phone which hasnt been changed by flashing it so have no clue whats wrong. if any body has an idea please get in touch
any body please. is there a way to flash original settings to phone like i did with flashtool for my se xperia x8 after i had a similar problem after messing with roms and did the same till i reflashed with original settings

Hi guys been searching all day when I can grab some free WiFi, basically I rooted my s4 gti9505 with auto root and then installed custom recovery, and flashed PAC rom. I'm unable to make calls or receive mobile data but can use WiFi. My settings say baseband unknown .. I'll attach a picture of my settings here in this thread. I have attempted to flash a modem/radio in Odin but this didn't seem to make any difference, the problem is I'm not sure if it was the right thing to do (didn't make a back up of my phone foolishly before flashing PAC rom)
I'd appreciate any help with this guys! My network is vodaphone UK if that makes any difference to any advice given...
Thanks in advance!

will do this too, have just finished flashing MGA modem twice using your steps, will flash rom again..i wonder if i should wipe/factory wipe as i would when installing new rom...ill try it!
no luck -still no network. im running out of ideas
network - unknown
mobile network type - unknown
imei unknown
imei sv - unknown
going out now for a while but thought id ask - do you think that installing official stock rom (perhaps from your s4 unrooting guide) would help flashed via odin? from searching i can see that some folk suggest that stock will reinstall everything i need...im hoping so, i really wouldnt mind going back to stock, anythings better than this

did you put modem in "phone" in odin?
hmmm weird! i guess your imei is not corrupted, sometimes while flashing rom in cwm, efs partition is not detected, so flashing modem twice should work
you can try with an other modem, use new one (but im sure to flash it twice)
another option is trying to flash your stock firmware

yes put it in "phone" mode, thats the second or third one i have flashed now so im not sure it wont help but for sure ill try again!
are you able to determine that its not corrupted? would it state as such if it were? im going to flash a stock firmware as a last resort. lost after that haha
edit - installed cwm using sgs4 flasher and re-installed my custom rom and gapps, booted no probs and network now working - sorted!! thanks for your help i dont think i would have reflashed the rom without your advice to do so
So I'm practically in the same boat. I'm currently on P.A.C. man nightly 09/18 (Vodafone Germany branded device). I never had similar problems, but now I can't call (or be called) and I'm not able to use mobile data.
I nearly tried everything:
1) I checked the IMEI (saved it before switching over to custom roms), but an IMEI number is still there.
2) Went back to stock to see if it's a problem of P.A.C. man ROMS or not. On stock it didn't work either.
3) Went back to P.A.C. man ROM and flashed modem XXUBMF8 via Odin 3.04 (from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025)
4) Flashed the modem again after I flashed the ROM because it didn't work either.
So I'm completely lost now, I really don't know what to do next. I had mobile data for a couple of seconds every now and then, but nothing stable. And since the problem came up (yesterday evening) I can not make any calls at all.
Can someone help me?
Edit: The very strange thing is that I have full reception balks in the notification area (only in grey). But still, I guess this means that the device is somehow able to detect a signal but can not connect to it?
Edit2: I apparently have no Device-ID. May that be a problem?
So I took some screenshots to show you guys my problem a bit better. For some reason my mobile data now works (currently HSPA, but it's extremely slow). But I still can't make any calls (or get called too). =/
Edit: So to sum this up: the strangest thing about this problem is, that even when I go back to full stock I can't make calls. =/ What could be the problem? An IMEI number is present in the settings (althouh the 'IMEI SV' under 'About phone' --> 'Status' was one digit below the current one that I can see under those stats). The whole problem makes me believe that my provider can't sort my phone number to my device (I'm on Vodafone; but if that's really the case: why the hell does mobile data works sometimes?!). The other possibility: something with the modem/radio is broken. Could this be the problem? The thing is that I also tried to flash a custom modem, but the problem is still there...
I'm really concerned that my phone just became an expensive paperweight
Slightly different than my problem in that I didn't even have any bars for reception..my problem was fixed by changing the custom recovery software (originally I used philz to flash PAC), But I flashed cwm and then used this to again flash PAC, and all was good..don't ask my why but it helped me so you might want to try this...

Thank you for your answer!
You also flashed a different modem didn't you? Did this help or was it only the custom recovery? I'm confused because I used CWM before and never had problems. But then this mess all came up...
Yes I flashed several modems, that didn't help..only using a different custom recovery to flash my custom Rom again helped..hope you get sorted!

So I tried to flash PAC with TWRP 2.6.0 (it worked before), but the problem is still there.
I'm really confused. I really don't know what I can do or try to fix this mess... Is there some USSD code or something to find out if my device is missing some ID codes or if the modem is messed up or something?
Edit:
Update: For some reason I now can receive calls/SMS but only when I'm on GPRS speed. Outgoing and ingoing calls are no problem then. When my device is on HSPA or HSPA+ speed however, the old problem of not being able to call or be called is back. On one hand it's good that I'm somehow able to make calls again on the other hand it gets stranger and stranger. I know that it's a bug on PAC man ROMs that you can't change the mobile data speed options (LTE/HSPA/GPRS etc.), but I think that this could be the problem (or at least a part of it)...

Actually I can change the data in my phone between 3G and 2G (don't have LTE support here in my country)
Have you checked your APN? Think that might be a problem.
Also please post the steps you take before flashing PAC (ROM, kernel, recovery, etc)

Within Wireless & Networks --> Mobile Networks --> Network Mode? On PAC? It always crashes when I try to change something there. In the PAC bug post this seems to be a known bug, my mode is also set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE. But whenever I enter the settings to change this, only 'LTE' is chosen as option. I don't have LTE on my plan and I read somewhere else that Vodafone has major problems with it's LTE network here in Germany and that it may be better for customers without it to turn it off.
About APN: there is definitely something strange. I can enter the settings and I see three different APNs that were not created by me (they must be the standard carrier ones): they are called Vodafone DE (for Germany), 1und1 (pretty strange because the settings are the very same on this one, only the name is different) and Vodafone DE-MMS.
The strange thing now is that I can't change any value of the Vodafone DE APN... When I go into its settings, everything ia greyed out. This was the same on the stock ROM...
Now when I create a new APN with the correct provider settings (found via Google on the VF homepage), the phone still won't work. When I put the device aside for a few minutes, the Vodafone Deutschland DE APN is the selected APN again although I never went back to it...
Is there some option to take a deeper look into the modem stats to see what's the problem?
Install stock ROM

I tried that already, but it didn't help. Same problem...
I factory resetted the phone, wiped cache and dalvik cache and then flashed my Vodafone branded stock ROM via Odin that I had on my device when I got it. Didn't help for some reason... But: should I also try to go back to stock ROM via KIES? I haven't tried this method until now...
Edit: About my flashing method: I went from the stock ROM to rooted (via CF Auto root with Odin). For PAC I then flashed TWRP 2.6.0 and then in recovery factory resetted the phone, wiped cache and dalvik and then installed PAC. After that I installed GApps. I used this method before and it worked without any problems...
Edit2: I found this thread, it appears to be the same/a similar problem with the S3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805709&page=6
Now is there something similar for the S4? I think I tried calling ##72786# on stock ROM and it didn't work...

Delete the unused APNs.
Do you have mobile data?
Also I asume that you're running the latest vertigo's build, because with me GSM/WCDMA/LTE is always selected.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4
Sometimes I have mobile data, but only for very limited time; for the majority of time, I don't have mobile data and can not make calls.
I also tried to delete the unused APNs, but still no change =/
I tried to use a different Micro SIM in this device, but the same problem appears. No data, no phone although I have grey reception balks.
any update on this one?!
