Nexus4, sudden signal loss

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!

Flash boot loader radio again

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

Hi, thanks for your answer, I just wanted to let you know that I went from an custom 4.2.2 (cm) to another 4.2.2 (xenonhd) and again to a 4.2.2 rom... Is there any way to check if my radio is ok?

I just flashed the radio&bootloader file and nothing
Im really lost here!
Please help me!

Do you recommend to make a system wipe and restore afactory image from the Nexus 4 Toolkit?

Please help me, I just returned it to stock using the toolkit and nothing...

anyone else?

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...

[Q] [HELP] Ive lost my mind trying to restore my phone

I have a galaxy s4 on sprint (SPH-L720). So about a week ago i reset the cache and data under Google services framework to get the update from Samsung. Well after quickly realizing how much i didnt enjoy 4.3 i wanted 4.2.2 back and began to look into flashing the old firmware back onto my phone. unfortunately i was stuck in the download mode or odin mode for a long time and after following many peoples different instructions on how to do it and not getting the proper results, i became frustrated. eventually in a desperate attempt to have a functional phone i tried rooting it, which got me out of odin mode. However, since i restarted the phone, i cannot turn on the wifi nor is there any sound. these were new problems among the same old problems that i had with 4.3 in the beginning which includes the video playback (which is non-existent). All i want to do is have my phone working like it did when i bought it with the android version of 4.2.2 with all the working features. any ideas?

I was going out of my mind too last night trying to go back to 4.2 but had no WiFi so I got fed up and just did the cyanogenmod installer video that qbking77 posted last week on YouTube which roots and installs cm10.2 all on its own at least it got me a fully functional phone for now until I get back home from work and try restoring again. Just thought I'd share a temp solution

If you accepted the ota too go to 4.3 I believe the issue you are experiencing is due to the Knox bootloader. Unfortunately I do not think there is any way to downgrade with Knox bootloader (for now). I'd try reflashing a fresh 4.3 rom and see if that fixes your issues.

I reflashed with 4.3 and not only do i have wifi and sound back, but also i finally have video playback. it could be a more updated version of jellybean, either way, you, sir, are my hero. :highfive:

Hey guys you arent alone. There's hundreds of us....lol, try to make the best of it. Sac23 has a great rom. Check it out. There are also some other 4.3 based roms with great dev support available. It should help buy time till the devs can find a work around for the knox bootloader.

Help please

So I was trying to help a friend flash stock using Odin because his phone app was being a piece of crap, he was on a CM 11 nightly and, well, long story short I almost bricked his phone not knowing there is a limit on how many times you can flash a Samsung device using Odin because of the yellow triangle. I can't use triangle away because it's the CM ROM on a CM kernel, I was able to get rid of the softbrick by using a older CM ROM on his SD card, this wouldn't be a problem if his phone app was still working, his WiFi was working and if his sound was working, but it's not. So to recap and for the question, Samsung is stupid, and can anyone help?

First thing you have to do for anyone to help you is,provide which build you were on and which stock rom you were trying to flash. There are tons of people here with great knowledge if you can be real specific.

Fairly sure there is no limit to the amount of times you can flash using Odin. There is a counter but no limit

Sorry, Samsung isn't stupid or they wouldn't just magically be a $250+billion dollar company that has been around for 76 years.
Because you jumped in and were unsuccessful with what you were doing doesn't constitute failure on their part.
How about taking that phone - S4 back to bone stock. ALL the answers on how to do that are here. In fact in the last couple days I've personally given instructions on how to do that for a number of people here in the help section. Do some searching and reading and you'll find your answers.
It always helps to come to a manufacture's section and say how sh**y they are. Makes those of us who choose to use and support them feel ever so helpful.

Ok sorry should've been more specific, I'm not new to these forums I was just in a hurry, also seriously guys I'm just frustrated I know Samsung is not stupid you don't have to post their history, they're awesome it's just dumb that they have a limit, and yes if you install the latest stock Sprint update (the one I did before I rooted and rom'd his phone) there wouldn't be a thing such as triangle away. Anyway on Odin it says it passed when flashing stock (the firmware that comes with the phone) but it does it in 4 seconds, and when his phone boots up and it just restores CM, so far everything we've tried either softbricks it or restores CM. Is there anything that completely and I mean completely restores this phone

Where are you getting this idea there is a limit on Odin flashes?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

There is no limit, as mentioned already, with Odin.
I've used it probably a hundred times since I got my S4. I know others have used it more.
Take some time, look through the Q&A/help forum and you'll see some posts I've helped others with, in the last 24hours alone, on how to get back to stock.
Edit:
Okay read this post. It'll get you to stock. Just read the instuctions on how to do it.

Ok I'll try it thanks for tolerating me I can be hard to understand when panicking

Glad you got it working and THANK YOU for posting back - that is what helps the community.
I understand the panic too. Especially when things are f'd up.
But if there is one valuable lesson I've learned in my half century of life; if you can just pause, relax and step back, many problems are easily resolved. And better yet more avoided by haste.
Good luck with the new phone setup.

OK one more quick thing, we flashed it successfully but now it won't boot its been over an hour after we flashed and its stuck on the Sprint logo

You can first boot to stock recovery (power on + volume up) and choose a 'factory reset'. That often clears stuff up pretty well
Or
Try and PC Oding a stock MK2 kernel. Then battery pull and restart after. Saw this on a few phones
I'll have to search to find it but it's here somewhere.

[Q] Help unrooting

I wanted to start a new thread since i havent had any luck finding an answer to my question. Basically i need to know how can i unroot my LG G2 LS980 from Sprint. I just want it back to stock. I have tried a few ways (threads in the forums) but after trying fro a few mins they dont seem to work. then when i go to the end of the thread it says these way no longer works. The last one i tried made me download firmware and use the LG Flash tool and change the megalock.dll but after checking all the settings and launching the tool it just sits at 0% forever. I even tried the turn off and put back on download mode again while not closing the tool and it still does the same.
my phone is still on stock recovery, running android 4.2.2 and software version LS980ZV8
I tried doing the OTA that pops up on my phone every other day but it fails to update halfway thru it. Now i want kitkat and i cant update it. I guess worse case i would like to flash a stock rom with kitkat (stock) and still keep it rooted but my issue is im still stuck on ZV8

Well you can easily unroot from inside supersu but if you have modified any part of the system/xposed/removed bloat you will not be able to update unless you flash back to stock

that isn't going to work, you are supposed to make at least 10 helpful post in which you well obviously help someone

Honestly the only help I can give you since I'm using an AT&T version is this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lg693AYgoTo
I know it's for AT&T but for AT&T and Sprint you use the same method to flash. You just have to replace the .tot and .dll for your sprint phone, because the ones included are for the AT&T version. Other than that the steps are the same.
PS the Development forums are not for Q&A, it's for development and feedback (Like logcats and bug fixes, etc).

SM-N9005 GPS wierd issue!!!! Works but doesnt work!!!!

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.

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?

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!!

Enter root folder and open up etc>gps.conf using text editor and change LPP_PROFILE to 3 instead of 0.
