As you said that you have flashed a custom ROM and now on stock rom,
Check whether you still have the IMEI #.
Also try insterting the Sim card on another device to check if Sim working, if working then try doing a factory reset.
Also once factory reset done as go in Setting-More Networks-Mobile Networks-Access points-Reset to default.
Try the above steps and let me know if problem still persists.

Did you ever get any help with this? I have been reading the Note 2 post, and I think I may have read the whole thing from where they started talking about the S4 till the end, as well as about half the rest. I cannot get my S4 to get data working at all. I am in need of the Nandroid backup as well, unless you got it and it didn't work for you.
Nope no one seems to want to help ..but I have gotten the 3g function to work on the s4 by flashing the correct aaa passwords still cannot update profile or prl

Thanks! I had made it CDMA only, but not in there, in ##DATA#.
You know what, this means that I may have gone through all the headache for nothing. I'll start over and we'll see, it may all work without need of *2/activation.
Yeah the *2 method will not work unless the s4 was previously activated on a sprint account

Well, changing the data to CDMA didn't work either. I also have been reading on Nandroid backups that may help with this, and I think what we would need is the carrier. Someone said that EFS is ok to share, but carrier one would have user specific data once it has been activated. So, I guess my fix will be to get them activated on a Sprint line first, then go through the flash.
Thanks for your help!

[Q] what baseband recommend?

hello
Need you help for selected baseband, my carrier is telcel from México.
because my nexus no signal
what recommend?
thanks
I'm using a nexus 4 on Telcel also and I have no problem. Maybe you should re flash the stock image and see if it works. And check your APNs.

Go to Settings>More Networks>Mobile networks>Network mode and change it to gsm only. if it doesn't help then change it to wcdma only and if even that doesn't work then change to auto connect and get a new connection from a better company
Note: It takes some time to switch network mode so be patient and give it a minute or two to properly shift.
Seeing improvements after doing what you told.
Thanks alot.

Might be a sim card problem. You've probably taken it out and put it back in? You might have to get a new one

[Q] Cannot get a signal AT ALL

Please help!!! I can't get a mobile signal for the life of me. I get wifi and LTE, but no 2G or 3G??? I've factory resetted, flashed modems only, tried different roms. Everything. I'm starting to think it might be the hardware. If anyone has any knowledge, please share. As of now I'm back on NAE baseband since the NG2 upgrade started all this. Or maybe it was mobile odin. IDK it was one of those.
I would rather have lte than 2 or 3g. You could always change the settings for mobile networks to only pick up 3g and see if that works.

But I cannot make a call at all. There is no 3G period. Tried everything
Have you tried removing the sim card and powering the phone up without it?
