Good evening, I'm having issues with my nexus .
Days ago a friend of mine told me about the Xenon HD rom, and I decided to try it (Im a CM user).
Today, I made a backup with TWRP and flashed the rom, I tested it for a few hours and I did not liked it, so I decided to go back to the previous rom, so I restored the backup. I realized that all my applications were not installed, so then I decided to do a Factory Reset and restore the backup again, my apps were still missing.
So I decided and start from scratch, doing another factory reset and installing CM on it, I factory reset it and I realize that my phone did not have any signal!
Wifi and everything is working but iit is not receiving any signal!
Can anyone help? I even tested it with a simcard from another company and nothing!
Are there any settings that may have been moved? Some option? please help me!

If you are coming from a Android 4.3 stock rom to 4.2.2 then you need to flash this selecting the first option and flash it before flashing a Android 4.2.2 rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147194

If you already flashed the factory image
Just let it be, insert your sim card and let the phone on for awhile
That happened to me with PA in 4.2.2 you got to wait a bit

I dont think this will help that much, Its like waiting for it to fix itself, Thanks pal
At this point, my phone is fully stock and ready to go to the US for a claim process...
I just want to make sure everything is as stock as it should be, please take a look at the following and let me know:
Bootloader
Recovery
Anything else should be done? do you think that google will find out that the phone was rooted or something?

Good day, I just wanted to let you guys know that the weirdest thing just happened to me.
I just came from my office and thought about going and turning on my phone, I did, and enabled airplane mode, (also turned on and off nfc) when I disabled it, my phone detected the network signal! I even received a sms, I also made a call! and thought, wow! it fixed itself up! I was literally dancing in my room and changing my simcard... (because I did all the above with a replacement chip that I have) and when I finally put my chip back, I made a call and it lost the signal again... It is now again without signal... I’m beginning to think this is a hardware problem...
Any update on this?
I've had the same problem for a few weeks now, the 3G/H signal just drops out, rebooting, airplane mode switching, returning to stock, different apn's, changing radios, replacing sims have all had no effect.
It's getting embarrassing now, seems to be such a common problem and yet no acknowledgement from Google about the issue which I believe to be deep in the settings/software and relating to the hardware in the original batch of Nexus phones.
I could arrange a return and get a replacement but I've read that even replacements have the same issue.
Apart from throwing the thing against the wall is there any other fixes out there?
If it helps I'm on 02 UK pay monthly, surrounded by cell towers, the phone is rooted and running stock 4.3
Just checking it now and I have H and 4 full blue bars - Ok update twitter.. nope, ok go to the play store..nope...

Saranhai is right. It sounds like a kernel issue. If you give us more info we can recommend kernels that you can flash.

Ok. MIUI is an alteration of AOSP. So, an AOSP compatible kernel is what you would want. However, LanternsLight puts out good MIUI ROMs. Unless its a known issue, I doubt its the ROM. Did you format your system partition before flashing?
Edit: Just spent a few minutes reading through the thread. No one else has reported this as far as I can tell. If you didn't format /system before you flashed, reflash using the instructions in the OP of the thread in the dev section. If you did, wipe cache and dalvik cache and reflash. If neither of those works, try TDJ's AOSP kernel, but there is nothing wrong with the Tiamat kernel, so I doubt that's it.
OK update i dont have any idea why this isnt working but i cleared the sd card,ran the rom install again followed the directions completely and my hotspot and wifi will bootloop my phone im at a loss of swear words already. should i take a hammer to it or not
Did you try a fresh download?
yes as stated i completely cleaned the sd card and redownloaded multiple roms and none will allow me to use wifi or hotspot the hotspot will error and the wifi will bootloop every single time
What Roms did you try?
what you can find in the recent rom section i tried i think it has to do with the phone or something im lost im frustrated im gonna flip out and smash this phone soon
Well, if you'be tried multiple ROMs with different kernels and did FULL wipes between them all, its probably hardware. I can't think of anything else it would be.
well all i did was change sd cards and thats it no more wifi and hotspot.....should i partition the sdcard i do remember seeing that in recovery does that affect the wifi n hotspot? if so what should it be partitioned at
Eeerm, partitioning the sd card is for moving apps over to external storage the pre-froyo way. It has nothing to do with hotspot functions. So your hotspot worked before, but crapped out when you changed as cards? That's really weird...
Does anyone else have any insight into this, because I'm at a loss?
Anyone out there?????? ANYONE
Try flashing the stock 2.2.1 or 2.3.4 rooted. Try if that works. If not, I too am at a loss. Maybe Jack_R1 is around lol

have you tried flashing the froyo pd15img to unroot and see if the problem persists? if not then i would do so and then report back... if the problem is still there then it seems to be a hw problem... if it is gone then it will be easy to reroot and be back in the game! just a little fyi though, if you want help then next time i would recommend providing us all the information! bootloader version, root method, rom, kernel, etc, etc, etc... you will more than likely get a more informed response and it shows that you actually put forth a bit of effort in helping us help you, rather than being the guy in my signature video! and as for your comment of this is the last day you are going to try to fix the phone, well it is your money that was spent on it, so by all means nuke the damn thing! but dont get angry cause we cant fix your device, we did nothing to it or you... take it to the store and let them mess with it or pay the deductible and get a new one... good luck on any note!
Good afternoon everyone,
I have just bought a N4 with 4.2.2 installed on it. Right after turning it on for the first time it asked if I would like to install the new 4.3 version. Of course I said yes, and then ended up stucked in the X logo screen indefenitely. After this annoying situation I've been told that it could take up to 90 days to replace it on the store, so I used fastboot to return it to the stock 4.2.2 version, following the tutorial presented on this forum, the SO booted smoothly but after it my IMEI info is completely gone.
My concern lays primary on the warranty, and secondly, is there a noob tutorial on how to recover my original IMEI number with 4.2 ROM?
Thanks for your time and congratulations for the amazing forum.
After trying every single tutorial presented on this forum I gave up. Returned it back to the 4.2.2, unrooted, blocked the bootloader, upgraded to the 4.3 to generate the original error and called tech support. I will return the thing and get a new one.
I'm most certainly sure the problem lays on the baseband, something with the first 4.3 upgrade damaged files and the system isn't able to rebuild itself, and I couldn't find a way to do it manually.
Unfortunately I will avoid upgrading it to the 4.3 untill google says something about this bizarre bug that is making several people go nuts with android.
Have you tried reflashing the radio through fastboot? Maybe that will fix it.
Or maybe flash an older radio (eg. .27 or .33) and see if you get your baseband/IMEI back.

Both 27 and 33, not to mention 48 84, and every stock ROM I could find.
I have come to a conclusion that the problem do not lays on the radio I chose, because when I fastboot it shows me exactly which radio is installed. The problem seems to be that when I boot to android it fails loading the radio.

Just so I won't let you hanging, we did got a replacement, and it have the same Android version. Since then I didn't had the guts to update the Android.
Hi guys, first of all let me share al my specs in order to place my question properly:
PHONE MODEL: Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M (the original stock kernel was: Build Date: 30.05.2013 -> Region: TCE (Mexico) PDA: I337MUMUAMDL Changelist: 518267 Android: 4.2.2)
Actual Rom: CyanogenMod -version: 10.2 10.2-20130923-nightly -jftlecan
Compilation number: cm_jfltecan-userdebug 4.3 JLS36G eng.jenkins.20130923.022829 test-keys
Recovery Mode: CWM via Rom Manager Pro app
So saying that I will say this: I came from stock to CM wiping Factory Reset and data/cache only and I used Odin for rootint the device....no problems at all, runs like a charm...
MY ISSUE #1: A couple of auto-updates ago (via Rom Manager), I start to notice that the radio bars (telephony signal, mobile internet signal bars) were from 1 to 2 bars in places I always get full bars (I live on a 7th floor with excelent signal at Mexico City). I searched on the forums (XDA developers and here) and it seems that ROOTED DEVICES SHOW THE REAL SIGNAL PROVIDED BY THE CAREER---->can someone confirm this? Is my phone showing the real signal strenght?, eventhough, keep reading to see that low signal bars are only the beginning...
So as i said, I didnt worry pretty much, because if the bars are little low, but i have a good quality service, who cares? but the REAL PROBLEM appears when another update came and when Im trying to use my mobile internet (4g or 3G, doesnt matter) the signal cuts exactly at the moment of loading a page or any info....it as happened with almost all apps (specially Facebook, Waze and Google Maps)
It happens as follows:
1.- Open any app, like Dolphin browser or Firefox
2.- Page starts to load info (LTE showing download and upload state)
3.- LTE-3G or whatever, shuts down (I see only the telephony signal bars and there is no internet signal)
4.- Wait few seconds, LTE-3G whatever is back...have to try again and agin until LTE remains steady (sometimes it wont until I reboot)
ISUE #2- DURING CALLS:
- Sometimes people cant hear me, but I can hear them...restart the phone and the issue fixes it self...buts is very annoying to restart my phone every single time somebody calls me and they cant hear me
I dont know what to do guys? Shall I wait until final CM10.2 comes to light? Somebody has this bug also? Is this bug part of CM? or there is another app making this rare behaivour...(do you recommend me another ROM for this model of GS4??)
EDIT: I tried to flash the original modem.bin (via ODIN) which is used by my carreer (TELCEL, son of Slim AKA "The richest man on Babylon :silly: is the company´s name). So until now, I can tell that in my first attempts of opening pages or facebook, the randomly LTE turning off-on continues...I will keep testing with this "orginal" flashed modem....

It's defiinitely a modem issue. You can flash new modems and try. (backup efs before doing so, actually if you dont already have one - do it before now and save yourself some grief)
If that's not fixing the issues...
I'd backup what you need and start fresh. It would be the easiest way to resolve all your issues. Maybe even try a different kernel set for your region and phone.
Kies has a useful firmware recovery option that sets you back to stock.
The Kies will use your model number and serial to get you your stock firmware and reset you back. Id wipe all data under settings then do it. After its done, do another factory reset in recovery.

Thanks for that advice, i guess Im going to do all that if a new kernel doesnt fix the issue (I havent found any kernel for my region which supports Android 4.3, only 4.2.2, and someone told me is not correct to install such a kernel). Good day to you!

So after done all the "back to stock" steps, I still get this questions:
1.- Would I still be ROOT but with stock firmware (Touchwiz) and cool features originally made for Samsung GS4? (such as air gestures, etc etc)
2.- If im "unrooted" by the steps described in your link, can I upgrade to 4.3???
Thanks you are so kind!
Check out GoldenEye ROM or MDOB ROM in the development forum. They are extremely stable, super fast, tw and excellent battery life. CM is awesome, but is seriously way to flawed for our S4's right now to use for day to day life.

Thanks. I successfully installed stock Rom (Touch Wiz) and the signal has been impecable (full vars and excellent internet speed). I have to say that stock Rom is faster than CM in its current state I'm having a better experience right now ( and didn't had the time to explore all the Samsung apps in their depth) thanks again for your kind help!!!

Well I just went back to original stock firm ware via Kies, and now the radio signal issues are gone!! CM 10.2 didn't work well for me as the stock rom is now working in my phone. Something tells me that some times it's better to just rooting (for enjoying cool apps as Greenify) and not installing custom Roms (because all this kernel carnival is just to much, and appart of all we have to install radio firmware? Just no!)

Hey guys, I've been having A LOT of issues with the new updates. First the 4.4 and then the 4.4.2 that didn't solve a thing. I've installed them via OTA but after that i've already did:
- factory reset
- installed via fastboot 4.3, then updated via OTA to 4.4.2
- installed via fastboot 4.4, then updated via OTA to 4.4.2
- factory reset AGAIN - installed via fastboot 4.4.2.
I don't know what do to anymore! I can't take pictures because nexus just turns off the moment i take one. I can't install facebook, twitter or instagram and another random apps... And btw, is it normal that in 10 minutes the battery charges to 1% to 50%? i think i never noticed that...
BUT WHAT DO I DO? PLEASE HELP!
UPDATE:
This problem is solved, it was the battery. I've changed the screen recently and it needed a new battery too. Thanks to everyone that tried to help me

If you don't know how to use fastboot, use the Wugfresh toolkit, makes life very easy. It has the drivers, downloads recoveries, root files and the factory images. Really is easy with that.

Looks like a hardware issue to me. Probably your battery is faulty... Could explain the shut downs and trying to use the camera usually drains more battery so again that could it be. Could you be more specific about the other errors that you get?

Hardware? It started to happen only when I updated the first time via OTA to 4.4.
I open the camera, I try to take a picture, the flash goes on and then the phone goes off. Sometimes I can turn it on and the battery it's the same, sometimes I can't turn it on without connecting to the charger because it goes off when I go to insert the PIN.
Well, after I understood that the problem was that apps, when I turned the WI-FI on, the phone immediately turned off after that I unistalled that apps and when I turned the WI-FI on I could go on Chrome and Play Store, and installed some apps (like n7 player) and everything was OK.
One time I installed Twitter and I used it for a bit and everything seemed fine but then I installed Facebook and the phone crashed again so I unistalled both. Same with Instagram.
I don't know how much more specific I can be... I really need help :s
it's not hardware. anyone who had this phone running pre 4.3 aosp will remember the camera issues and the clicking noises that went along with the focusing and then the reboots. the battery charging is also a widely experienced issue as well as going from a full charge to 50% in a few minutes. I'm getting the camera bug again on 4.4.2 hope a .3 build pops up soon to deal with it. I'm also 100% stock no root

if I were having all those issues I'd try installing the Factory Image again or maybe try 4.4.1 and then use the OTA to update. BUT there is definitely some bugs in the latest KK release

I did all of that as I refered in the beggining... I will try to install 4.4.1 though, that was the only thing I didn't do, but I doubt it's gonna work, because installing 4.4 and 4.4.2 didn't solve a thing
sorry about the double post but there isn't the factory image for 4.4.1 here... https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamkot49h .
I tried to flash 4.4.2 following this guide http://rirozizo.blogspot.pt/2013/11/guide-how-to-flash-factory-images-from.html and when I turned it on I had no signal.. what does that mean? I guess it didn't worked..

The latest factory images are 4.4.2, that's why you didn't see 4.4.1 on Google's server. When you flash factory images, your radio will also be updated. When you flash a custom ROM, your radio doesn't get updated, that's why you had problem with cell signal. Or flash the appropriate radio for the ROM.

The phone asked me to insert PIN and then I had cell signal again.. Should I flash 4.4.2 again flashing the radio too? Because I have the feeling that this will not solve my problem. Like I said in the beggining I followed another guide to flash my phone, and in that guide it said to flash radio and "bootloader-mako..." (not sure what that is) and the cell signal problem still happened and then I couldnt install Facebook or Twitter or had my location on or using the camera without the phone turning off or rebooting...
EDIT: The phone just turned off when updating Google apps, so yeah... Didn't work :s

You said that when a PIN is input, the phone has signal again which means it's not a radio issue. Did you set up a PIN in the security section in your phone?

No this is just something that started to happen along with the other problems... Sometimes the phone loses signal for no reason and goes to the PIN input screen.

Which radio are you using? It should be .98 if you are on KitKat 4.4.2. You can flash a standalone radio zip file in recovery.

I don't know I will check later because now I'm not home. But when can I find that zip file and if I flash that it will only solve the cell signal thing right?
Hi guys id love input on this one if anyone's got anything as it baffles and frustrates me...
I have a SM-N9005,
im signed upto galaxynote3root.com
my note 3 ran to perfection once rooted and updated to 4.4.2 va the polish rom that came out since im in UK and couldn't wait for the update hehe - still ran to perfection -
I then flashed a ROM from galaxynote3root.com (I now HATE that zedomax guy since he has not input or suggestions on the matter despite a courteously written email etc) it was "infamous ROM" (which is supposed to be for SM-N9005 but when installed all T-Mobile bloatware is on it and then model displayed in the about settings page says "SM-N900T") flashed it and installed trickster MOD, (didn't check or even think that the GPS didn't work at that point) I then set the voltage to offset -25 as instructed by zedomax for better battery life etc... anyway, my note 3 couldn't really handle the change in voltages so I went back to stock (or what I thought was stock since I didn't check the default voltages before changing and I don't know what they are) after deciding... I actually hated the ROM and flash all the way back to stock
GPS NO LONGER works - ill explain exact symptoms etc
GPS icon flashes - notification displays "searching for GPS" and........... that's it.. forever.... never locks...... and whilst using the GPS and using google maps in this state it constantly says "GPS signal lost" - and that is literally it. I have flashed at least 5 different stock ROMS from different countries/carriers etc - nothing always exactly the same
NOW... here's the weird part!!!????
Once I flash the Infamous ROM back onto the phone - THE GPS works....... no idea how - but I feel that it doesn't QUIET work as well as it did before (takes a little longer to lock but still around 10 seconds) and the locator on google maps seems to drift a LITTLE where as before it would be perfection no drifting no nothing.
Does this rom use something else or some change in the conf files to supposedly make the GPS "better" but actually makes it worse!!?? lol
Being a techy myself and constantly plying with tech from waaaayyyy back this really frustrated me as clearly it cant be a hardware issue since it works on one ROM but not on stock (unless as I said the infamous ROM utilises a different method to lock GPS... which is NOT better and I don't like btw)
I sent the phone into O2 for repairs and since the knox and counters were tripped they sent back unrepaired stating they cant fix as the engineers found there had been "unauthorised rework" done on it
it has to be software right!!!???? but if that was true.... the stock ROM SHOULD work.... but they ALLL don't.. makes NO sense.
If anyone has any suggestions or input at all I would greatly appreciate.. potentially more!!
I would like to figure this one out too I'm on the Verizon note 3 SM-N900V stock 4.4.2 and the GPS sucks! It was perfect on 4.3 so I know it is definitely a software issue. This is the best phone I've ever had and the worst GPS. Hope we can find a fix because I rely on Google Maps a lot.

I had issues with my gps not locking after a rom update, I fixed it by downloading gps test from play store and clearing "agps data" in settings.
Give it a go it worked for me. Good luck

Did you a factory reset?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
No. Just a reboot after I had used the app. As I said my gps would never lock even outside but after using g the app it's quick to lock. I got the tip from a forum but may not help you.

but for me.. not just GPS sucks... gps does not work categorically anytime ever lol... ONLNY on that infamous ROM I told you about..
hopefully otherwise ill have to do an insurance job on it! lol I definitely agree.... best phone ive ever had... did have the best GPS.. but I feel I may have done something to GPS chip whilst undervolting... but I say that then I remember... but no.. the GPS still works on that particular rom so it cant be that the GPS chip is fried... unless... like I said, that infamous ROM makes the GPS work in a different way.. I just don't know enough about it.... what I do know is that it DOES NOT make sense! lol

perhaps I didn't explain myself... its not because of the ROM update.... the GPS and everything was working to perfection on 4.3 and 4.4.2... it only stopped once id flashed the infamous ROM and then back tot he stock 4.4.2 roms.... now the only way to get GPS working is by flashing and using the infamous ROM
many thanks for your input though dude much appreciated

my friend.. all I can say is... lol... factory reset... lol.... umm yes... I did one....2....3..4,5,6,7,8,9 etc of those followed by 5,6,7,8 different stock roms etc (as stated in my original post)
so yeah... did that.. doesn't work
thanks for your suggestion though kind sir!!
What happened here is the same thing that happens when everyone installs the s5 port and when they revert to their stock rom they f*** up their GPS, since they initially installed a wrong firmware for their phone. Easiest way to solve this is to install that infamous ROM again and turn on your GPS. Then in recovery dirty flash stock note 3 rom (dirty flash... i mean don't do any wipes what so ever) and reboot. You might be able to boot it or basically go into bootloop. Then afterwhich do a factory reset in recovery again. Once booted up you should have your GPS back. There is another method here about flashing n9005 wifi/nfc and stuff files. I just can't find it. But do a search it will come out.
try this
go to recovery
full wipe ..(partition system , data, cache ) ..system partition needs to be wiped
if you are using philz then do a new rom wipe which also wipes system partition
reboot to download mode and odin flash stock samsung note 3 rom ( do it twice to make it 200% sure ..lol)
download gps status and reset ur agps data and download new data from the app
And apparently service centers have to prove that your rooting/flashing 'broke' the phone.
Maybe a grey area but apparently European legislation says so?
So threaten O2 with this?
Try GPS Status and in tools check/update agps.

sounds good.. but one thing... to flash stock roms I use odin... that's not a recovery flash.... what do you mean exactly? are you able to obtain and flash stock ROMS via recovery in zip form instead of .tar via odin now?

massive thanks to all of you guys i really do appreciate your responses i have managed to fix this problem completely thank the lord i love my note 3 what i did was basically install Philz recovery and use all of the wipe functions on there including one I hadnt seen before on other recoveries which was "format boot" so big thankyou to xfinity for the philz tip I also turned on my gps and left it on before rebooting to commence rebuild which could have possibly had a positive effect so that tip was from tyre777 so again huge thanks to you as well kind sir!!! happy days case closed.. thanks all!
