Strange behaviour. Yesterday the phone worked correctly (on jellyblast rom and savie kernel). Today stopped to go ("emergency calls only"). So I tried every type of wipe (/cache /date /dalvik), to fix the permissions, to flash a stock rom with odin (from this forum) and finally to change the rom (I tested creed... I think I'll keep, if the phone works). To reset the APNs and to to install ITV CSCs (after stock installation). Nothing. Everything else seems to work. Also if i put another SIM into the phone (Wind IT e TIM sims work). It could be a carrier problem? (it's a virtual carrier under Vodafone IT). I'm trying a nandroid (which carries a bit of dead bodies of flashes)

its a sim card problem. visit your dealer and get it replaced
Have patience brother. Might be a network problem only. Try going to flight mode then deactivate again.

I hope fix the network soon (however is strange that the SIM WORKS in a nokia 1112 lol). In any case I've to talk with the revendor (postal office).
It's very probably is a sim problem... Neither the airplane mode seems to work...
*edit*
Yesterday, in android setting I saw Vodafone IT -79dBm signal (correct?); today I saw TIM IT (is not my carrier), -73dBm (edge only but doesn't work)
I noticed a strange other thing... I haven't /csc folder with ITV (maybe due nandroid with no EU-Rom). I'm trying to re-put in it (by other nandroid) and /efs is empty (never caused problems, however), and I today I'll go to ask sim replacement (as other works)
*RE-EDIT*
Nope. I replaced SIM. Still happens... Works on another phone but not on mine. Another SIM of another operator WORKS. So I'm trying another one firmware (XXLK3_XEULL1_XXLK3) that seems to be the most near to my phone default.. we'll see...
Still doesn't work =( Same problems
....maybe with a Vodafone only CSCs?
I don't know what to try (If won't work I'll change operator..again) =(

Ok, I'll try.....
Tried already with several stock firmwares (with correct csc). Nothing..
A strange thing is how the cell is recognized on google play/Kies: it says Vodafone GT-5360 and doesn't work with Vodafone or Tim (but works perfectly on Wind) ..... but it's an unbranded phone and however worked with other operators....
*edit*
I haven't anything in /efs (don't know If I used to have something in it) but phone still "works", and my imei is the same on the box (so nothing of illegal, I hope). I need a tool for that? Can interfere with mobile signal?
Galaxy toolbox generated a file of 1024kb named efspart.img.save (doesn't open) which I've restored... (?)
Now, when phone starts, I sees an android.phone stopped to work..... Can be useful to push it from adb; how? (I read something about it somewhere on xda, but I want to be sure it's useful to do it)
I noticed another strange habit.
When I'm covered by 3G (WCDMA?) phone works well (I've wifi, data, network operator); when I'm not, as is locked on WCMDA only (why?), I can't phone (emergency call) but the data packets still works (so isn't a network problem, it is?); I can't select in phone info (dialer mode) the GSM Auto(PRL) which seems to be 2g preferred (I think I'd resolve setting this).
There's a manual configuration to force the parameter? Now I'm on stock rom and stock kernel, but the signal fly away sometimes
thats a provider maybe

i'm on the same problem here ...
I tried the 272 code, and it shows me that I have a ZTA vendor code available, and an option to 'install it'. the phone reboots, clean the cache and resets. may be an rewrite on the CSC sector. question is: my SIM is ok, and my phone started to behave just as described.
I'm trying to figure out here too.

Nope, it's the only operator which works with the phone (maybe damaged but out of warranty), no sim problems in other phones both in 2g and 3g; csc already done; but it goes in wcdma preferred (i want force gms auto but I can't select it in dialer mode... only wcdma and unknown) and 3g data connections works with emergency call mode(??)

It seems to be correct.. I can force "2g preferred" in some manner editing a file?
However, I'll try various wiping/flashing =(
Now I'm on stock rom (odexed) and kuro kernel (which works on stock), the issue doesn't happen often now ... (When happens, I've to disable radio and then switch from 3g preferred (I can't choose 2g preferred) or 2g only (if I'm on it) and then re-enable radio. In worst case (very rare, NOW) I've to reboot.
Now, seems to works the sim which didn't work when I made the topic (great step ahead ^^)
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!

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?

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.

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.

Hello,
I've noticed something strange this past month. I was getting data disconnections and I could'nt figure out why. Each time I look at my phone, turning the screen on, mobile network (voice + data) is missing for a few seconds, and comes back.
Now I know that if I keep the screen on for a while (I tried more thant 1 hour), I don't loose the network, but if let the screen go to sleep I immediately loose the network (I don't receive whatsapp messages in background), and when I turn the screen on, it comes back.
Weirdly, when my phone could reach 4G, I had (almost) no disconnection. It only happens in a 3G, edge, or nodata zone.
I changed my carrier (I just moved from europe to New Zealand), and it doen't change the problem.
I'm using CM11-Nightly (sept) on a I9505. I tried installing an old nightly(from july), and it was really full of error messages, so I switched back to a recent nightly, but in the meantime I had no disconnection.
Thank you for your help

I don't know exactly where this option is, but it's for battery saving. You can choose that somewhere in your settings I think
I think that's true for Wi-Fi, but I never found it for network.
And now it seems that network won't come back if I don't go to airplane mode and back to normal mode.
I'm having the same problem, seems to mostly affect lollipop installs.
Did you find a solution?

No I didn't. It seems that somewhere in july 2014, CM11 included a new version of the modem. So every CM11 build after that and every CM12 build is affected (I don't know about other roms).
I read that it was the way the modem handled finding the best network method. With the previous modem (v5 ?) it tried to get LTE, 3G, etc... but now it fails when it fails to get the prefered network.
4 solutions:
- flash the modem (didn't try it, don't know how)
- You're supposed to be able to choose you're prefered network in the options and choose 2G/edge. Didn't work for me but I'm interested in your feedback.
- get an old version of CM11
- live with it (my current option :'( )
There is maybe another solution, I'm not an expert, just a desperate user.
Hey again, I did fix it for myself.
The modem is the problem (I flashed my modem, and my bootloader just to be re-up-to-date).
If you want to get lollipop for yourself you should do it, its not too hard
Its listed as Qustion 14 on this here page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419762
I don't mind trying to give some pointers if you need help understanding how to do it, but I did this at 5am while sick so my memory of what I did is not 100%, never the less I would like to help if you need it.
Thank you for the advice (you came seeking for one, and ended up helping me ).
How did you choose which modem version to pick up ? the latest ? Do you have to do it after every CM upgrade ?
Edit:
I found the latest version from one of your links : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50965837#post50965837
Is the "Combined package - both modems in one flashable file." ok ?
And what does flashing the bootloader do ?
"What it does"... I am not 100%, I assume it initialize some part of the system, HW or kernel level, but I might be way off.
In any case I did use the dual modem pack to flash both "PHONE" and "PDA", another thread I asked in just replied to another user with the neccessity to flash the new bootloader aswell (dont know if the version numbers applies for you):
u must be using a 4.4.2 baseband and bootloader .. just a 4.4.2 baseband will not work .. once updated ur set

Tip: I had to save the PIT to a file (did it twice to be sure) with heimdall before using odin to flash (couldn't get heimdall to work for that part), all because odin would not play nice inbetween loading the PIT from device and flashing, this might not be a problem for you at all so it's just an FYI.
I managed to flash the modem & the bootloader. So far, no disconnection, so I'm quite happy.

Hi Guys,
I am writing this Thread believing that I will get a solution as Yota company has not provided any solution after 15 days trouble shooting. I just brought the phone from Russian seller through eBay.com to India and after 2 months of fight from the local customs office I just got my phone. I was very happy and was floating in air to have the first dual screen phone in my hand. The phone was flawless with dual screen was working awesome. The phone came with lollipop update. I switched on the phone with out inserting the simcard, the phone prompted for a small 350 MB update and I just update the phone. Then I just inserted the Simcard after which i started facing issue. The issue was the phone is able to read and shoe the service provider name but there was no network signal and it was showing only emergency calls. When i tried to make calls it showed network no registered. I tried with different simcard which resulted in the same issue. I though it might be a simcard issue and checked with my old phone but there was no simcard issue. So i just contacted the Yota tech team through mail to help me on this issue. They asked me do some basic troubleshooting but there was no use after 15 days they asked me to ship the phone to nearest service center which is in Russia. The issue is to and back from Russia customs will cost me the price of 2 Yotaphone fist generation phone price. So I through of resolving this issue myself and researched in online. I found that Samsung phones were also facing the same issue after update and tried all the solutions given in internet but there was no use. Finally there was a solution asking to root the phone and install the ariza patch which would solve the issue. I just rooted my phone and when I installed the ariza it showed it was not compilable for yotaphone 2. I just searched in XDA forums and could not find anyone reporting the similar issue with a solution. So I through of creating new thread in hope of getting a solution in this issue. Please help me in this issue by creating a patch or any solution which will me help me out of this. I am not able to use the phone as the basic call function is not even working reset the phone is a heaven.:crying::crying::crying:

Do you still have this problem?
I wasn't sure at first, I thought it was my sim card, but I have tried 2 different networks sims and they both get no signal in my Yotaphone 2...
The network's name does appear, so the sim must be being read somewhat, but I always get no signal.
I literally have no idea what to do.
I too turned the phone on without a simcard, flashed the RU latest rom, flashed TWRP, rooted it etc, surely that has nothing to do with it...?
@bharath9962 ! I fixed it!
I have no idea why this happened, and I spent a few hours trying to fix it, very angry. I downgraded to 4.4 to see if it would help, put back the native China rom that came with my phone (accidentally deleted my backup too...)
I bought a new sim card just for this phone because the old one did not 'work'.
This is not a popular phone so it's hard to find information, anyway... I'm very relieved now. I can only imagine you gave up...
I found the answer here - thewichitacomputerguy.com/blog/how-i-fixed-your-sim-card-does-not-allow-connection-network-g1
1. Open the phone dialer
2. Enter: *#*#4636#*#* (Once entered, you will be taken directly to a "Testing" page) [4636 spells INFO]
3. Tap Phone Information
4. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and you should see a button that says radio off. Hit this button and when it reads radio on Hit it again to turn the radio back on. <-- (Not a Typo)
I rebooted and waited a few seconds, no signal. I turned on airplane mode, turned it off, and it worked!
Now I can go back to RU 1.99 and reinstall all my stuff...

My country is in Asia but I believe this does not matter - the problem was that somehow the radio (cell phone function) was 'off'/glitched, and had to be turned on+off to make the phone function again. Using a different country's sim card would not fix this problem.
As I wrote above, we both share the fact that we first turned our phones on with no sim, and updated. Maybe just a coincidence...
Just try the guide and please let me know if it is fixed!

[SOLVED]
Fix for Yotaphone 2 YD206 from China
If you already flashed the phone to latest EU 5.0, you can skip 1-5
1. download via FTP: fw.ydevices.com/YotaPhone2/YotaPhoneFlasher/yotaphone2_flasher.exe and install
2. run flasher and download latest EU rom (2 - 5- 7)
3. turn off the phone and turn it on while holding volume down - this will boot the phone in "downloading..." mode
4. in the flasher press 1 (Flash the cellphone)
5. the phone is now on 5.0.0-EU1.1.124b and 2G is not working at all and 3G is connecting only to 2100 MHz (on my cell network)
6. download via FTP: fw.ydevices.com/YotaPhone2/Firmwares/CN/4.4.3-S01-003-CN1.0.3.32a.zip
7. unzip the file and copy \radio to c:\program files (x86)\yotaphone_flasher
8. run cmd and go to c:\program files (x86)\yotaphone_flasher
9. repeat step 3.
10. run next lines:
fastboot flash modem radio\NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 radio\sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash rpm radio\rpm.mbn
fastboot flash tz radio\tz.mbn
11. reboot the phone and enjoy 2G and strong 3G signal

Hello!
I try to figure out what you did but I get stucked in number 10.
Actually I flashed my Yotaphone with the chinese radio the first time, but I don't get good connectivity.
Anyways I try to do what you wrote, but when I tipe the first line (first fastboot command), cmd keep saying waiting for the device... maybe is that I'm impatient but nothing happens.
I try other USB ports and nothing works...
So actually I don't know if I'm doing it right or if I have to wait for a longer period of time (10 minutes or more).
Any help would much appreciated.
Cheers!
Hi there,
you don't have ADB drivers installed. Google for "universal adb driver" and install. There is driver included with yota 5.0 firmware (C:\Program Files (x86)\yotaphone_flasher\Driver\Google), but any other adb driver should work as well.
And use original yota usb cable!!!
It shouldn't take more that a few seconds for those commands to execute.

Had the same problem
Hi all, I had the same problem when I flashed russian firmware (YD201) over my phone which originally had honkong firmware (YD206).
I can inform that for me it also worked to flash the Chinese firware with yotaflasher.
However, when I tried to only flash the radio, it seemed it did not work. So I flashed the complete chinese kitkat firmware with yotaflasher and then afterward just removed/renamed the radio folder when flashing the newest russian lollipop firmware. Everything working great now, even was able to do some ota's without any problems since the ota's did not update anything of the radio img's.
And indeed you first need to make sure that you have the fastboot drivers installed and your device gets recognized as fastboot device by your PC.
You can test this by doing "fastboot devices". If you device turns up there as a fastboot devices, then the drivers and connection from pc to phone are ok.
Good Luck!
Thank you deepmnd and tomgaga.
Actually I had to activate developer options... And then reinstall the ADB cause, aparently I had it but it didn't work.
After that the instructions worked perfectly, but I still have network issues.
I don't know if it is because I have a MVNO (Mobile virtual network operator) and the phone has to change between the networks ( the one that provides the network and the MVNO).
I think that when it changes from one net to the other is when I lose connectivity and sometimes I have to search the network and choose it manually.
So this problem actually happened to me and the solution was to activate Roaming services (but I dont' know if is actually the same problem).
Anyways I can see that I connect to EDGE, HSPA/HSDPA and LTE.
For sure there is a way to monitor the network and check wich ones works.
Another guess is that being a phone for the chinese market, and the lack of the 900mhz band is causing this ¿?
So at the moment I'm losing signal just by walking on the street and I live in a big city. It seems that LTE and H works fine but I don't have a a way to assure this.
When I will have a spare time I will try to reflash the phone with the instructions deepmnd provided and see if it will work.
Thank you for your help!
Any advice will be appreciated!!
Update:
I try tomgaga approach I will test it just to see if is the network or my provider
Does anybody know which bands different firmwares support?
Reception is incredibly bad in my case (206 flashed with EU firmware).
It'd be nice if somebody has any info on unlocking different bands for yotaphone2.

Here you have the bands
https://www.frequencycheck.com/compare-devices/qkjseR/yota-yotaphone-2-yd201/yota-yotaphone-2-yd206
I have the same problem as you, I will try this weekend to downgrade to the older chinese rom and check if the reception get better.
And if then to the latest RU rom.

Thanks for that, it helps a lot to clear the situation regarding the two models.
Now, taking in account deepmnd´s solution above, would it be possible to find those missing bands from the original 206 which are not available to the updated (and then international, 201-) version and add them individually, file by file via the fastboot flashing?
I followed deepmnd's instructions, and my phone now connects to GSM/EDGE, which was not possible before using the EU Radio (latest EU rom). Thanks for this!
Unfortunately it now preferably (!) connects to EDGE, although the LTE/WCDMA-Option is prioritized. I can force the phone to connect to WCDMA by using the WCDMA-only-option, but in this case it does not commit a fallback to EDGE if 3G is missing and I have no connectivity at all, unless I change the band-options and force a connect to EDGE. I'd like it to switch between the bands automatically, as my YD201 did without problems (in Germany).
Any hints to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance, Knut

Thank you! I had missed calls and did not know what caused them. Then I noticed this happened when I was not on LTE network but on WCDMA or 2G network. And this seems to have solved the issue for me as well.
Hello there,
I undertook to unlock the bootloader of my xperia x compact, of course without saving anything (bye the DRM keys), I then used the fastboot to install Paranoid Android v7.2.3, success after the second attempt.
So the phone started very well, but no SIM card recognized at the start of the phone. Possibly PIN code appeared after 10 min of ignition, loop on the "unlocking in progress" and then nothing, no network.
I have been back several times on the official rom via Sony Companion without success. Last night I tried to flash a rom stock with Flashtool. The operation was going well and oh miracle the sim card was detected directly, so I'm configuring the phone and installing all my applications, a reboot after all that and the SIM card had disappeared again.
Since I tried Flashtool several times without success, downgrade to 6.0.1 either.
After hours and hours of research I still do not have the solution, I have crossed several times on forums for the same kind of symptoms but always accompanied by an absent IMEI, but when I type *#06# my IMEI is displayed correctly .
If someone has already encountered this kind of problem I would love to talk to him. Thanks for reading me
Good night

Did you select your APN under mobile networks

Yes I have selected my APN, edited as my carrier said. The biggest problem is that the sim card is not detected immediately at startup. And when the sim lock pop up (about 5min after starting the phone) validation of the pin code is much too long to be normal. The code is accepted but I have no network, and when I try to search manually in the settings I have a loop on 'searching'. I think the problem comes from the modem / radio but I do not know too much these points, I just follow tutorials on the internet.
I say start from scratch but use Flashtool
Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk
I've already started from scratch with flashtool, several times ...
Some news of my problem.
I have since tried several times to change rom, to flash the modem / radio.
Now my sim card is recognized, but still no network. I have wrote my APN correctly but still nothing.
The network appeared only once after the installation of Paranoid Android, but as in my previous post, after a mobile reboot nothing.
Namely that in the phone information menu, line data service: Disconnected and in this menu enable data connection does not change anything (I can't even enable it). Select radio band gives me 3 choices (Automatic, USA, Japan) and when I click on Automatic I get Set [Automatic] Unsuccessful.
If anyone can help me, I'm really starting to feel hopeless.

Hi, i had the same problem. To enter the pin straight away simply go to the quick settings and check if you have the LTE tile there. If not add it. Then hold down on the LTE tile and it should open mobile data settings and then it takes about 5 seconds and it should ask for pin. I have no idea why it is like so but currently i am on paranoid android 7.3.1 and have no problems. Best wishes!

Hi and thank you for your help
The situation has evolved since, the phone asks for the sim code directly but I still have no network. (see my last message)
Edit : Just noticed that i have an error in flashtool when flashing any rom "those data are not in fsc script and will be skipped reset kernel cmd debug, would you wish to continue ?

Something similar happened to me recently and it was fixed by selecting my provider via wireless networks > mobile networks > service providers
In my case AT&T was selected when I chose Tmo and rebooted everything was fine. Good luck.
