[Q] Just flashed my nexus 4 with Paranoid Android and problems ensued - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020336 This is where i got all the zip which i flashed (radio, bootloader, PA ROM, and GApps)
So there are two problems I have noticed after flashing my nexus with paranoid android.
The biggest one is that my phone cannot get any cellular service. The phone just shows No Service, and when i tried to set mobile network manually it told me to insert sim and restart while already having a sim card in the phone. I tried removing and inserting it again to no avail.
The second one is that I can't use my camera, it opens the app for like half a second then it shows "Can't connect to camera" and quit abruptly.
Everything works just fine when I flashed the backup stock ROM, including the mobile data and camera
Are there known solutions to these problems?

Same here... can't get SIMcard working and camera is indeed showing "Can't connect to camera"
I'm on cwm recovery
using PA3.99 downloaded from http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/mako/pa_mako-3.99-RC2-20130920.zip
and gapps downloaded from http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/gapps/pa_gapps-full-4.3-20131024-signed.zip
I had PA on my (now sold) I9000, I like PA to feel @home on my brand new Nexus 4
so, any hints would be welcome... :fingers-crossed:

Sudden Signal Loss, not detecting SIM

Hey there guys, I apologize if this has been covered, as I feel its related to an "efs" folder type of issue. I'm just not quite sure where the hell to even begin searching.
I've been on 4.3 since the leak and have been using Cataclysm 4.3 JWR ROM for a while now, problem free. All was running great until yesterday I was downloading some media and transferring it to my laptop (~10gb of traffic before I noticed the problem), and my WiFi shut off and restarted itself. My mobile data kicked in at that point for all of 10 seconds until the WiFi reconnected and within 30 minutes my signal bars suddenly dropped to zero and calls couldn't be made. "Mobile network not available." message appears. So I figured i'd pull the SIM, replace and reboot. When that didn't work I tried rebooting without the SIM, to see if it would detect no SIM card and prompt me to put one in and reboot to be able to connect to mobile network. Well nothing was detected. A full wipe, reflash of identical ROM, reflash of updated ROM, reflash of original JWR deodexed & rooted backup, all with the same outcome. I have tried everything short of downloading the stock image and flashing that but I haven't got around to it since I haven't had time to backup my internal SD before losing all data. I should note that I'm on baseband .84/4.3 bootloader and have been since Google pushed JWR & JSS. I haven't tried flashing a new modem, I figured that wouldn't been an issue. I suppose I'll try flashing .48 and update.
Edit: I forgot to mention that yes, WiFi is in fact working. Mobile signal seems to be the only thing affected.
Edit: Reflashing baseband .84 and .48 didn't work.
I really appreciate any ideas guys, I'd like to sort this out rather than having to flash stock and RMA it or something :/
All settled, it was an issue with the frequency band my provided operates on. Mod can lock/delete thread thanks.

[Q] Stuck between two "handicapped" results of flashing PA through diff. recoveri

[Q] Stuck between two "handicapped" results of flashing PA through diff. recoveri
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2020336 This is where i got all the zip which i flashed (radio, bootloader, PA ROM, and GApps)
So there are two problems I have noticed after flashing my nexus with paranoid android.

Everything works just fine when I flashed the backup stock ROM, including the mobile data and camera
UPDATE :
I tried using TWRP instead as the recovery that I use to flash the exact same 4 zip files (radio, bootloader, PA ROM, and GApps, all from the official PA account on XDA developer). It indeed solved the No Service problem, it now has fully functioning HSDPA connectivity, but then two problems emerged.
The first being the unavailability of keyboards. The phone would just show the microphone icon for voice typing and no keyboard is found in settings.
The second problem being there is no Camera app, so I can't decide whether the "Can't connect to camera" issue is solved.
So I am stuck in between two "handicapped" results of flashing PA through different recoveries. (keep in mind that I used the same exact 4 zip files to flash)
1. I can flash it through Clockwork Recovery but then the phone wouldn't recognize the SIM card although everything else would work perfectly.
2.I can flash it through TWRP and the phone would have perfect mobile connectivity, but then the phone would have no keyboard showing up and no Camera app. I had assumed this would be an easier problem to solve by googling, but it seems like this problem is rather unique/specific.
Is there a way i can install the keyboard and camera by itself?
Remember that there is no keyboard so I really can't type in anything including signing in on the Play Store. I attempted installing Google Keyboard through the desktop play store, but since the one on my phone isn't connected to my Google account, the download won't start on the phone.

Have you tried re downloading the zips again? maybe one is corrupt? make sure you do a full wipe before flashing ( also do advanced wipe and wipe all except sdcard and usb)
You could also try Wugs root tool kit, http://www.wugfresh.com/ im pretty sure it has a feature to allow you to push apps to your system,

"Can't connect to camera" Error

First of all I know there's another thread about this, but the guy seemed to be able to fix this problem by rebooting his phone so I'm making a new thread.
Today I flashed CM13 on my Nexus6P and it all worked fine until I tried starting the camera, which gave me the error mentioned in the title. Restarting the phone and erasng the app's data didn't work either.
Also everytime I boot my phone it shows me an "your device is corrupted" screen (not the bootloader unlocked screen) and when the phone starts it shows me something like "there's a problem with your phone, it might not work properly".
Is this my fault or is it a CM13 issue and how do I fix it? (I'm using today's official CM13 build with Open Gapps Mini arm64 for android 6.0)

the error when booted can be resoled by flashing the latest vendor img, or at least the one relevant to your roms version.
took me about 2 weeks to figure this out because no one would give me the slightest hint when i asked.
the error screen when it first tries to start i havent been able to resolve, and am thinking there may be none.
not sure what your camera issue could be, but i have seen cam issues from the kernel, when the switch to 6.0,1 first began to merge.
maybe test another kernel, other than that i dont know.
Samehere

I'm facing exactly the same issue. The camera works fine when I flash a stock based ROM like pure nexus or digitalhigh but as soon as I flash an aosp based ROM or cyanogenmod like chroma,screw'd,benzo. The camera says couldn't connect to camera and nothing seems to work. I've wiped cache, data but still no progress.
I even tried the flashable camera.zip but didn't work.
Problem Solved !!!

Just flash the MBD08M.img via fastboot, then flash CM13 on top of it, restart the phone. The Camera won't work yet, now go to Benzo Rom and use his flashable vendor image for MMB29M via Recovery and Reboot. And it works like charm ! =D
You can also flash him flashable camera.zip, to get the stock camera

Thanks, I have reverted to stock ROM but I might try it soon

No Data on Verizon

So, I was using my phone at a mall. I stepped into a store and I noticed I had no more LTE. The signal was weak, so I thought it was just the building. So I got to a stronger area and restarted the phone, and still no data. I tried restarting several times and I tried selecting different APNs (I'm running 7/15 nightly of CM13). Eventually, I took the sim card out of my wife's iPhone 6S and the LTE worked fine. My sim card worked OK in here phone as well. But once I put mine back in, I have no data (not even 2g or 3g). I thought it was just my sim card, but then I can't understand why it works in my wife's iPhone 6S. Any ideas? I'm updating to the latest nightly of CM13.

My suggestion is to start fresh by fastboot flashing the latest 6.0.1 factory images. Verify that your mobile data/LTE are working. Then, install TWRP. I would also download a fresh copy if the CM13 ROM and verify the md5 is correct. Flash CM13 again and see if you have LTE again. If you don't have LTE after flashing CM13 again we know it is something that has changed in the ROM.

I think you're right. I'm going to have to do this. I got a new SIM card from Verizon and data was fine. Then once I went to work and entered into my office, which has a poor signal, I wasn't able to get data back (can still call and send/receive texts). It makes no sense as to why it won't reconnect after a reboot, but I guess this is the only option.
Yeah I agree. Fastboot flash the factory images to give yourself a fresh start. Confirm that everything is working on a fully stock build. Then root, recovery and flash. I would try a different ROM that is not CM based to see how your voice and data works. Let us know how it goes that way others in the forum who may run into this issue can read about what was performed on your device and know what to do to help themselves. Good luck.

So I flashed the factory images back onto my phone and I got data back. I guess there is a strange bug in the latest nightly of CM13. Of course, I haven't been able to go to an area where I have poor reception. Now I have to find a ROM that offers the LiveDisplay feature CM13 offered. I like my screen to be a bit colder than what Huawei calibrates their displays to.

I knew there was something in the CM13 based ROM's that was causing you to lose data. Also, If you use a custom kernel like Elemental or Elite you can control the screen colors and make it how you like it. Give Pure Nexus a try. It's a super nice ROM. The dev is awesome. He does great work. Maybe give Chroma a shot. Also, you could try Resurrection Remix. It's a CM based ROM but it may not give you the data issues. It's worth a try. Lemme know what works. Good job on getting the factory images flashed and getting data back too.
