No phone or SMS

Hi,
Been using custom ROMS on my Hero since new with no probs. Last Thursday after receiving an SMS I am unable to make or receive phone call and txts. My mobile internet still works fine. When a phone call is made to my phone the caller receives a message that the number is no longer available, though if I switch the phone off the caller gets put through to my voicebox. My provider has confirmed that there are no blocks etc on my phone or account, this is also proved as when I put my SIM in another phone all works as usual.
I am using Villain ROM 12 and the latest radio. I have set the phone to GSM only, automatic etc. I have reinstalled the ROM wiping everything etc and have tried flashing different radios.
The only thing I can think to try now is to flash a stock ROM. Which would be best (its a UK orange phone) and will I then lose root etc.
Most probably though I fear the cellular chip is dead.
Any other ideas and which stock ROM should I try, oh yes I bought the phone of ebay new and unopened, will I be able to return it somewhere for repai HTC ???
Thanks for reading and for any help

Hmmm,... Strange one is this.
First thing I would try if I were you is to flash a generic ROM through your custom recovery,....
One from http://android.modaco.com/content/h...oms-radios-in-update-zip-format-for-gsm-hero/
Worth a shot,....
If you get the same result,.... Run an RUU .exe. This will unroot so if it is successful you will have to go through the whole rigmarole of installing a custom recovery again to be able to flash custom ROMs.
Dont know what else to suggest sorry.

Oh well, tried stock roms and still the same problem. Looks like it must be the pgones hardware.
Any one recommend a good repairer here in the UK
Cheers

[Q] Voice: out of service. S5-G900F

someone save me please... I've been struggle for two weeks...
I'm using S5-G900F, its a Hongkong version, and I'm currently in UK with giffgaff. last month I tried few new rom and then I can't use voice service any more. However I still have internet. Some detail below:
APN
1. I 100% sure its not an APN problem
IMEI
1. IMEI seems ok, start 4 digit 3524****
SIM card related
1. At first I assume it's a SIM card related problem, I tried 2 SIM with different ISP, neither work.
2. Also, I put those 2 SIM on my iphone4 to verify that the SIM is good, and both card work.
3. I also checked the SIM card cable, I put one piece of paper above the SIM to tight the contact, still doesn't work.
Phone related
1. Before I brought the phone, I had check the bands it supports, and it is capable to used here. And the phone work perfect (well, with stock firmware its really slow) before everything happen.
2. Since I brought this phone in HK and now I'm in UK, I tried to flash both latest UK and HK firmware (lollipop), neither work.
3. I also tried only flash baseband from that two firmware plus one old-version baseband. none work.
4. For those flash mentioned above, I do full wipe.
Rom
The rom I tried list below (in time sequence)
1. XtreStoLite (the BL/baseband is extract from Brazil stock firmware. After that problem occur, but I didn't realize)
2. CM12 (this two are all from this forum)
3. TGY-G900FZHU1BOA1-20150120092320 (HK stock firmware, 5.0. Try to recovery the voice)
4. BTU-G900FXXU1BOB7-20150223084756 (UK stock firmware, 5.0. Still trying)
5. Also 2 baseband/BL from XtreStoLite thread (Another is an old-version. Still).
So now for everyday, I had to carry two phone... one just to make sure I don miss any call.... I have tried and still no clue... really need some help here.... Help please...

Can anyone help me please....

Was the phone service working for you before you tried a new ROM?
I have the same issue. Can't make or recieve calls. Internet is working though.
When you try to call someone, do you get 'call ended' message almost immediately after dialing out?
Also, when you go to phone / settings / additional settings (or more settings) - does the 'network or sim card error' pop up?
Can't figure this out... Hopefully someone would be able to point us to right direction, other than to replace it
And of course I did a factory reset, new roms, modems, everything there is to try. nothing helped

could it be because of Region Locking? Maybe it's locked again after flashing?. I want to buy this phone but I am not sure if it will get region locked again after it gets updated or custom flashed.

Yes, before I flash those ROM everything goes well. I'm currently using CM12 so I don't have the setting you mention. But anyway I never seen that pop message before. I guess the SIM card work good as the phone can connect to the internet (not wifi, cellular internet).

Hi bro first of all thanks for helping me out here but i tried to download a firmware from the site you gave me & its downloading at 15kbps!! It will take too much time to download...
is there any other source i can download it?
+ can you please explain what will be different from the stock 4.3 rom i installed?
Thanks again for helping out, Much appreciated!!

You should flash the latest 5.01 rom, not 4.3.
Try searching for the rom on updato.com.

didnt work unfortunately
i installed this rom : http://updato.com./firmware-archive-select-model?record=BF01B00E1F3711E6949E0CC47A44B7B2 (im from israel)
and i get the same exact problem
also im not 100% sure but i remember i checked the efs folder and it was empty...
am i f***ed or is there still hope?
i have the imei number on the sticker under the battery btw if that helps

Did you flash anything else that could have caused the loss of imei?
The imei should be able to be injected by a cell repair shop via jtag.

[N9005] RessurectionRemix doesn't detect SIM card

Hi,
when I got my Note 3, I immediately installed Cyanogenmod and from then I only swapped between custom ROMs.
I never actually made a backup of the stock system. (Yes, I was reckless.)
I also never made a backup of any custom ROM before that (Yes, I was really reckless.)
I recently switched from the unofficial Ressurection Remix (from now just called RR) 5.8.2 to the official RR 5.8.4 and since then my SIM card is not detected anymore.
For the setup, I first followed the guide on the thread itself.
Then I paniced and looked up stock firmware for my device, but since they all had more specific names like N9005XXUBMH1 (my phone only says N9005 under the battery), I couldn't identify which one was the correct one and just downloaded a whole bunch and flashed them until one of them worked.
The stock firmware I flashed actually had a working SIM, but was also using power like crazy. I went from 1.5 days to half a day. The stock OS is also horribly bloated in my opinion.
So I looked through the forum and found the Rock Stable Setup, I followed it and got the same result.
I made plenty of nandroid backups with TWRP and restored that every time I started the phone and saw that the SIM wasn't found.
I am currently running RR 5.8.4 and a seperate phone for being reachable, but I would really like reduce that to one phone again.
When I dial *#06# in RR, I just see a windows with IMEI as title but no content. (It shows one in the stock ROM)
Things I have already tried:
Solution Lineage OS No Sim
UpdatePackage by -ION-
If you need any more information, I'd be happy to provide them!
I just really want to use my phone to it's fullest capability again.
Thanks to all replies in advance
Simon

I know that there are a lot of threads regarding this issue, but most of them are different phones (not N9005) or different conditions.
The ones that I did find that match my conditions roughly are already listed in the first post.
Therefore I belive that my case is different from those threads.
If you find one that I messed, please refer me.

RR rom
Answer You are using an Old Modem .
https://forum.xda-developers.com/search/thread/3630301?query=sim card not detected
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=x...x-b&gfe_rd=cr&dcr=0&ei=gTpXWv6_NYv98wf9h5-ICg

I only now read about 'getting the firmware to stick'.
I had to flash it three times until both the bootloader and modem versions changed.
Now I have a differen problem:
I can't call or send SMS.
Mobile data works and receiving calls and SMS works flawlessly, even though it sometimes loses contact with the tower.
Anything that cam up in search had either everything not working or solved it in a way that didn't work for me.
I tried rebooting, putting it in a different phone (SIM works there just fine) and putting it back...

Same here... my SIM card is not detected.
I can´t find a way to make it connect to my mobile provider...
It shows no EMEI in "Phone info" app, I asked for help in a RR thread...
If you make it work, please, reply here.
EDIT: Nevermind, this worked https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72986417&postcount=4141

S7 edge not detecting SIM

Hey,
So I recently acquired an used S7 edge, so my first thought was hey I'm gonna flash lineage os on this, so I flash the unofficial lineage os 16 rom to it, after that I'mm setting it up I'm all done I put my sim in it and I'mm getting no signal, so I had no clue what was going on, i thought to myself maybe its just a bug from linage os 16, so I decided to see if lineage os 15.1 would work, so i flash it, when I get to the set up screen I get the SIM network unlock PIN message, so i google around and it tells me to call my carrier (which I did) but that didn't solve anything. I looked around some solutions online like dr.phone and some shady apps, nothing works, so I'm kinda desperate I don't know how to unlock my sim card, I tried re-flashing linage 16 but now my sim is not even being recognized anymore( before at least I got the no signal icon).
if anyone could give me any advice or tell me what to do it would be great, my knowledge goes from googling stuff to flashing a rom through twrp that's about it.
Thanks.

Personally I'd start from scratch, flash stock using Odin.

so you didnt check if phone is ok when u bought it?
check if you have IMEI in settings, check if its been on stolen list.
but first flash stock rom with sim inside

I installed stock firmware and it recognizes the sim, but in any rom I try to install its not recognized, so far I have tried lineage 16, 14.1, resurrection remix and pixel experience all of them to insert sim card. I really don't want to use stock firmware though its really bloaty.

i have a very similar problem
i have a very similar problem I tried to flash lineage os on my pnone but the sim would not even show just emergency calls only I restored the efs partition but still couldn't call or anything no network tried this with 16 and 15.1 both did the same very disappointing and no answers to be found around apparently this is a rare problem

it's not rare. you probably need to update radio, but make sure you have EFS backup or just go back to stock
