Tried to update and lost mobile network - Nexus S General

I tried to update my 9020a to the 4.0.4, was somewhat successful except not cellular connection. I have blank bars for signal with an x in it.
My IEMI shows correct in the EFS folder
I tried flashing my radio many times, I have UCKF1. I tried the original one, it failed but was able to flash the new version. But, I still have the same problem and it shows my baseband ver as i9020xxki1
I then went back to the pixel rom I had on before, same thing, no mobile network.
Then i brought my phone back to GB, I had a rooted nandroid. Same issue
what the hell happened and how do I get it back.

im actually really glad i have the patience to wait for the official release of ICS and don't jump on every leak and spend hours trying to fix what could of been avoided.
THIS LEAK ISN'T FOR THE I9020A!

I know it was not for the 9020a, but there is others that were successful. I got it to run, and it worked great, except the radio issue.
Now Im all the way back on GB, and still cant get it to work.
I am tired of waiting. This is not my first android and I bought this phone for the updates. Well, its just like every other att devices, updates just dont come this way.
so, how do i get signal back

If you've made a backup of your EFS folder, repush it to your phone. That fixed my problems regarding radio a few times already.

1. Go to Dialer. Dial *#*#4636#*#*
2. Go to Phone information. Choose the preferred network to
"GSM Auto PRL" or "CDMA Auto PRL" or whatever you have.
3. Scroll down, deactivate and activate Phone Radio.
4. Press Menu button.
5. Select Phone frequency, then choose your country.
6. In the previous menu push the Home button to go back to Homescreen.
7. Reboot.

UCKE1 fixed it for me.

I put KD1 on for my 9020a on AT&T (I get better data speeds with an older radio for some strange reason) and DELETED /efs, rebooted, and it started working. To anyone else reading this, backup /efs before trying ANY of this.

Did you replace your EFS folder or just delete it?
If you replaced it, what command did you use to replace it?

I'm completely at a loss.
I tried deleting the contents of my EFS folder, replacing it with the backup files, rebooting and still no luck.
Still no signal.
Any advice?

Sweet, that was the only one that worked for me. Now go and enjoy 4.0.4
Im still on my first charge from this morning. I love it!

Instable network connection on I9020XXKF1
Since I updated to 4.0.3 I've been having random network connection issues: Sometimes when waking the phone from sleep while connected to wifi the signal bar is empty only fix is to reboot the phone. I've updated to 4.0.4 on Wednesday and still have this issue. I was wondering if any of you have a suggestion for a better radio for the GSM/UMTS version of the i9020. I9020XXKF1 is supposed to be the most stable radio, unfortunately it isn't for me. Anyone else experiencing similar issues?

[Q] Cloudy Pro II - LS980, no data/network settings

I have installed this ROM and I absolutely love it. I have one problem with it, though. I have no data at all. I tried looking for the LTEConfig.apk to delete this and it's not present in /system as it is suggested. I also cannot change my APN settings because I am unable to click on network settings, as a matter of fact I cannot even turn it on. There is even no option to update the PRL/Profile like most roms. I'm using the LS890 - Sprint Variant. I flashed the LS890-BS-Cloudy.zip and it didn't help as I have no other issues other than the missing network settings. Anyone else having this issue? If so, any fix to this?

Yes, yes I have. I idiotically flashed the radio from the ZVC update which gave me a boot certificate error and ended up flashing zv8 from the tot so I'm starting all over again. This time around I'm upgrading from ZV9 to Cloudy Pro II. Let's see how that goes. I'll be done in a few minutes. I'll post back afterwards.

So just to be clear, I'll do this on my stock KITKAT rom, back up, flash cloudy pro 2, restore, and profit???
I'll give it a try right now!!!
@Cloudyfa this is something that should be on your faqs thread. I'll confirm if it works for me in a few seconds!
Yup. It works. Thank you so much! I wish I didn't have to go through all of this to make it work, as it would be great to just have a PRL/Profile update button back on the settings, but this is a nice workaround.
@Cloudyfa @LilDemon124, did you ever get a problem where you try to send a text message and it says NO USIM? I've tried removing and reinserting the SIM and it still doesn't work.

I've got the same issue, unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP via the command line (as well as SuperSU via TWRP). Rebooted and re-inserted the SIM multiple times to no avail.
Edit: I've tried looking for the APN settings on my device, but that seems to have disappeared as well? here's a screenshot of what my settings screen looks like: https://gyazo.com/90f9ab027357cea8009bdae1a0346690
Edit 2: I checked my IMEI, and it's weird...I see every digit except for the last one when I look for it via the *#06# dialer command (I know because I cross-referenced with the IMEI printed on the box the phone came in).

Mine did the same thing. Flashed TWRP and SuperSU. Then I copied a few apks and jars from /system for vendor blobs with root explorer. I don't see how anything changed there because system is read only (but it was ril related files).
After some digging I had my IMEI but my phone number was "Unknown". I went to AT&T for a new sim but that didn't fix it. I ended up going back to stock with this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...dows-tool-moto-x-style-pure-edition-t3199905 and everything is working again.
TWRP and root again and so far still have network.

I also have lost service after flashing some ROMS on my VZ MXP. Reinserting the SIM, reflashing other ROMs or reflashing the radio haven't helped. I'll give this a try. Thanks.
What ROM are you using? Did you recently upgrade from lollipop to marshmallow or marshmallow to nougat? Have you ran fastboot erase all (if not DO NOT that causes the imei to be permenantly erased). Have you tried flashing files from the factory image? This is very strange.

The loss of service occurred after flashing the 11/11/16 nightly of AICP, which I believe is Nougat. I had already had the 11/09 and 11/10 nightly installed. The 11/10 seemed to perform OK, except battery life was short. The 11/11 version caused a bunch of com.android.phone errors. I then reflashed the stock ROM posted here, but the problem persists. I haven't tried the factory image. Do you have a link to the process to do that?. I'm currently using my GS3 and that phone is way too slow, definitely would like to go back to my MXP.

Your units are not the same, they are XT1578 engineering units which were intended for Verizon specific service, but never came to fruition... those units are likely fancy paperweights now, no ROM or radios were ever released for them since they used a special chipset.
This may be a stupid question, but did you clean flash or dirty flash the stock ROM and/or aicp? Make sure you fully wipe/format system, boot, cache, data, and dalvik cache when flashing new ROMs.
I also have problems with the network, no signal, plus my appears the normal imei, Moto X Style Brazil.

I flashed back to stock using the Nexus Root Toolkit by Wugfresh. I just flashed CM 13.0 to see if the problem was a hardware malfunction, but the mobile radio worked while running cyanogenmod. I am not downloading the factory image and I am going to attempt to flash it manually. Any ideas of comments? I really have not clue as to why the radio isn't working other than that it might be caused by flashing through the Nexus Root Toolkit.

Yeah, probably due to the toolkit. This is why I recommend people not use the damn things. Flash the factory images and you should be fine, I have instructions in my guide if you need them.

If you flash the factory images they overwrite what's already there.

So I flashed the factory images using your method provided and I am still having the same issue Let me describe a little more in detail what exactly is going on. So obviously mobile data isn't working, including LTE 4G, 3G, and 2G, but I get calls and texts no problem. When I look at my status bar, LTE is not showing up, but if I pull down the quick toggles the phone says I have LTE connection but no data is coming in or going out. LTE also loses connection when I turn off "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" (I'm on T-Mobile). Additionally, when I create a mobile hotspot, data works but only on 3G speeds. I honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong. Maybe i'm flashing the wrong factory image? I flashed MDB08M.
Same here with SkipSoft Toolkit, after unlock, root, busybox, wifi noproblem, but no LTE/3G on my phone, i try to relock bootloader and back to Factory image now.
Sigh!?!

I seem to have touched that issue I was on the L build and went to M build using toolkit but noticed my apns got screwy so I corrected them and I'm on pure nexus and a-ok now!
I'm having a similar but different issue, I bought a used 6p... Good ESN.... A 64 GB to upgrade from my current 32 GB 6p. Everything works (including mobile data and texts) except for phone calls, it won't call out and goes strait to voicemail when calling in.
I had unlocked the bootloader and installed chroma, but still no phone calls, so I flashed back to stock and relocked the bootloader. Still nothing. I read this thread suggesting that I shouldn't use the automated tool kits, so I backed up and manually flashed it back to the latest stock image via fastboot. But same issue.... Back to no phone calls in or out, everything else working though.
Any suggestions?

S7 Edge Boots into Flat ORANGE Screen. [Help]

I wanted to install xposed framework on my S7 edge but it failed due to some reason about not being able to mount/system or something. To fix that, i reformatted my /system and /data to FAT from TWRP. part way through reformatting /data, it froze and i restarted my phone, now it was unable to boot into recovery. I then attempted to reinstall the stock rom from ODIN and now it boots straight into a flat orange screen. Within this screen, i can hear the change in volume when i press the volume buttons, the LED on my phone is on (blue) and i can turn the screen on and off with the power button. It seems like a normal functioning phone, just with an orange screen that wont change.
If anyone can help me fix this problem i would really appreciate it, any help is valuable and if you need anything that im able to provide, i will.
Thanks.
Edit: I can sometimes get it into download mode and the TWRP screen loads, but then nothing happens.
I may not be able to fix your problem but I am curious, why would you format to FAT when the standard filesystem used is ext4?

I watched a video and it said to do it, yes, it was a bad idea.
What i have done was reinstall TWRP and it works now. Still orange screen. Where do i go from here?
Why on earth did you format to FAT? Android/data, /system and /boot are EXT4. /sd card is FAT.
Think you'll have to reflash stock firmware with Odin, assuming you can still get into download mode. Your non-external sd card data is probably history though.

And you've extracted the necessary .tar etc files from the stock FW? I'm assuming you are very new to this, just making sure you're covering everything. And please describe exactly what happened when you tried to flash Xposed. Which version, installer etc. A screenshots of your Odin fail would be helpful too.

Wrong firmware. You're flashing 930F, that's for the "flat" S7. You need 935F firmware.

Is this the right one?

I live in Australia.
Also, thanks for pointing that out. I thought i had the right one :\
Yep, that should do. Don't know where you got it, samfirmware is the place otherwise. Is your original firmware branded, i.e are you tied to a specific network carrier?

I found the optus version. Is there any reason to download that over the standard one?
OK. We'll sort this out! I'm no expert, but I've made every f-up possible with Odin/TWRP, so I'm an expert at rectifying my mistakes...
Off out for lunch, back in 2 hours. Hopefully you'll be fixed by then but I'll check. One other thing in Odin - in options, check "F-reset time" but NOTHING ELSE.

Don't think so, but I've never been carrier locked. I'd use it just to get up and running again, you can always flash something else later.

I reinstall the stock firmware and currently it is installing applications. Looks like it is going to be fine. Next step is to make a backup and install xposed.

October Security Update just released today.
Official 2020, October, MiA2 Stock fastboot ROM image V11.0.15.0.QDIMIXM link in appropriate thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83773363&postcount=144
CAPTCHA:
After clean fastboot flashing of this version with flash_all_except_data -> rebooting phone forces to stock recovery and requests factory reset.
Seems like after installing OTA possible behaviours are: either the same request for reset, or bootloop.
Reflashed back V11.0.14.0.QDIMIXM in order to make data backup

nice! thanks for this!
Tried to apply update from OTA and my device failed to start, tried again and same result. Anyone else facing the same problem?
Tonight I'll try to flash full image directly.
Yes, the update seems buggy.
Even my phone was not able to start after the update.
Tried multiple times. Eventually had to factory reset it ?

same here, now I'll try to flash V11.0.14.0.QDIMIXM and let's see...
*update1*
It worked, I did flash_all_except_data and at first reboot it went to recovery and it showed up the same message saying that data may be corrupt but when I tried to boot it again it worked fine... now I'll backup everything and let's see if it works well at every reboot.
*update2*
everything fine running V11.0.14.0.QDIMIXM
So this is yet another botched update to skip, got it.
Thank you, brave ones who are willing to update first.
I'm just too afraid to update this device nowadays.
I had to reset device after last update this is really worst device support I had
For those who have reverted to V11.0.14.0.QDIMIXM, you don't have any bootloop on androidone screen?
My wife did the update, so I reverted to V11.0.14.0.QDIMIXM with flash_all_except_data but for now it still bootloop
updated successfully. there are no visible improvements

I tried unsuccessfully to reboot, Everytime showed this message, finally I accepted to erase the phone and let download the backup, I lost some downloaded stuff I may download again later.
It's an Shane this happening to Android one devices, suddenly we got from special to second class citizens
I had the same problem, which was solved for me by going into fastboot and issuing a fastboot boot recovery which for some reason returned by phone to a working state with an update failed notification. will skip this one

Hi,
All I did was go into fastboot using the power and volume shortcut, and than I connected the device to my laptop and issued the command:
fastboot reboot recovery
(naturally using the SDK Platform tools)
After that, the phone started working again. Although there is no reasonable reason it should have worked. I was surprised enough so that I decided to take the effort to create an account here and share this for others. But again, maybe it was pure luck, YMMV.
Will be crossing my fingers for you.
I've tried to update and got the "Can't load Android system. Your data may be corrupt" messege. Tried again a few times, until the phone reverted back to the previous version and said it couldn't install the update. No October update for me. =(
