[Q] Verizon service shuts down on CM9 - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an SCH-i800 that I have CM9 (p1c 9.1.0) installed on. I have been using it for several weeks with no problem. Since I am planning on going on a trip, I decided to active pre-paid Verizon service for the tablet. At first, I attempted to activate the device. It went through the phone call but after a minute, it just sat at activating. That is when I noticed that the radio state in the status bar had an X on it. I rebooted the tablet to try again and got "com.android.phone has topped unexpectedly". I re-flashed CM9 (at the time I was using 9.0.0) and it worked again. Activation was not necessary. After a day, the error came up again and radio state went to off with an X. I tried 9.1.0, same problem after a day. I even tried a nightly CM10, same problem. Reboots, cache wipes, permission fixes do not make it work. The error persists until a re-flash of CM. I see on the Support Downloads for the Verizon Tablet, there are two modem files. My baseband version is currently S:I800.0.3V.EI04. I have attempted to "flash" these both via Odin (which failed after a couple minutes) and ZIP (which looked like it worked) to the EC02 on the site, but my baseband doesn't seem to change.
So my first question is, is there a how-to on flashing as I have searched high and low on one for the Verizon Tab specifically, and have yet to find one. Is there a ZIP file that is specifically meant for the i800? I am almost certain this is my problem and that a downgrade (this tablet when stock was updated to the latest Verizon image).
My second question is, has anyone else experienced this? Is there someone that is using a CM9 Verizon tab with EI04 baseband and not have this problem?
Is there a way I can track down what crashed the program? I have tried logcat, but it doesn't appear to give me much detail other than to tell me that it stopped.
And if you ask, no I did not use the Verizon service with this tablet before putting CM9 on it, so I wouldn't know if it worked before.
Any input that someone could provide would be useful. Thanks!

[Q] No Network

Hey guys,
Finally found the Q&A for the milestone. Took long enough
Anywho, After installing CyanogenMod9 (Or 7. This problem's occurring on both)
I can't connect to my service provider anymore. Can't even seem to find them for that matter. Anybody else have this issue? Or can somebody help me with it?
Being able to use the update would be nice.
I am having this issue too.
My Milestone was broken (digitizer) and came back from maintenance services last week so I installed the Cyanogenmod 9 nightly build as soon as I got it. I had some problems installing CM so I just got it working a couple of days ago but it is losing the signal with the carrier in places where it used to work with the Original sbf and even with CM7.
I don't always have 0 signal bars but it can't be a problem with the carrier either.
I still haven't found a solution.
I'm using CM9 nightly build 20120627 (i think I will update to a newer version tonight)
Updating to correct baseband for your country might help. Settings - Advanced - Baseband.

I've already done it. It doesn't change anything.
I have enough signal only when I'm outdoors or standing reeeeeaally close to a window.
But thank you, I think I will install CM7 and see what I can get.

[Q] Droid 3 CM10.1 No service Problems

I recently installed both AOKP and CM10, the most recent versions on my Verizon Droid 3. Now, i have no service. I downloaded (via wifi) the app "lte on/off" to get a look at what was happening, and the radio keeps rapidly switching on and off, on and off over and over again. This happened with all the AOKP versions i tried and both CM10 versions I tried. Ive rebooted, re-flashed, tried different download links, reflashed again, wipe and reflash. Im at a complete loss here guys, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I had the exact same problem. I went insane scouring the web for hours trying to find a single person with the same problem until I finally gave up. Does anyone know the last version that actually worked?
I also have this problem, do anyone have any idea how to fix this problem?

I had similar problems on cm10.1. I have no idea if this will work (I'm outside the US, and my phone asked me to activate the phone), but I also had no service, no data. I changed my network mode from GLOBAL to GSM/WCDMA auto. Now I have service and data (Data after applying the correct carrier apn settings)
I hope this helps you all
P.S. after this step I made factory resets without the need to do the above step again (You only need to put the correct apn settings again if your on networks other than Verizon)

[Q] Rooted for the first time, lost any cellular connection. I need a step by step.

So I finally took the plunge today and rooted. I flashed the most recent Sprint version of ViperROM, and everything was going just fine and dandy, I was all giddy setting up my MoDaCo UI mods, etc, until I tried to send a text. Tried to send for 5 minutes, got the fail message. Well, that's weird. What about 3G data? Nope, nothing. Maybe the ROM is bad? I flashed the stock ROM by viperboy, also didn't work. Same problems. So now I'm stuck with no cellular connection and I need it soon. How do I fix it? (Note that I followed my tutorials step by step and everything works except cellular connection. Also note that it says I have service and that data is going in/out, but it's not actually sending/receiving anything. It seems that I need something called an RUU, but I have no idea what that is or where to get a correct one and how to flash it.
Please give me a step by step (I'm using TWRP if that matters), as this is my first time rooting or doing anything more advanced with my phone past advanced themes in Nova Launcher. I'll need links if you have them, or at least where to look. Please help me, because don't want to go back to stock after getting all my awesome tweaks already!
And yes, I have updated my PLR and Profile in the system updates menu, same results.
EDIT: I fixed it, yay! I tried clicking UICC unlock in the software update menu. It said no profile update available, and then it started working (it's actually faster than normal! ) It may have been the profile update that did it and it took a second to update, but it works now! Yay! I even rebooted to make sure it was going to stay after a shutdown, etc, and it did! I guess I should check all option before posting a thread next time... (If you can't tell I'm extremely happy it works!)
EDIT 2: It stopped working again :'(. Now I'm constantly losing the 3G connection that I "had" and messages and data only work about 10% of the time they say they're connected. Wifi still works. When I try updating the profile, it says it could not be updated and to try again later (this is after several tries and a reboot). I try to update the PLR and I get error code 1233. Apprently this is an HTC specific error with no know fix? I try to do the UICC unlock, and it gives me the same error as the profile message.
EDIT 3: It seems Sprint is having issues in my area, I will update again if they resolve it or reply to my tweet.
EDIT 4: They told me to go restart the booster thingy I have in my house, and now my connection is working for now...

[I9295] Cellular not working

Hey guys,
in the beginning, sorry for my bad english (native german). I have a problem with my I9295 aka S4 Active. Since the update to 4.4.2, my phone gets thrown out of the network. Wlan and Bluetooth is fine. Now I flashed the official Samsung DOB4 firmware. Yes, I've downloaded the file multiple times, and the md5 sum was always right. After I flashed it, I was very happy because my cellular network was working again, I could make some calls, etc. But after 20 minutes, it started again. No network. Well, my IMEI was null, and to fix it I had to root. After rooting, my IMEI is there again (yes, the right one) and everything worked fine and was still working, up to yesterday. IMEI still there, baseband too, everything seems fine, but I can't get network. I have to reboot multiple times to get it working again, after that it's working maximum a day, after that, no network again . Atm, i've flashed CM12, but the error is still occuring. I'm very desperate, I hope somebody can help me.
I have a quite similar problem:
My I9295 loses service randomly. Happens quite often.
When I try to go to Settings/More Networks/Mobile Networks I am told "No SIM ..."
SIM is in and had been active. Phono tells me I have network reception.
After reboot it works for an hour or 20 minutes or whatever it wants to.
Sometimes it reconnects after a while, sometimes not.
When I leave it on during night netx morning reconnect works only via reboot.
SIM reader had been replaced.
Problem persists with genuine 5.0.1, with this one: [ROM][Official Nightly CM12/Unofficial CM12.1][5.0/5.1.1] builds for I9295
and WizCyan ROM.
Any suggestions?
BTW I use a TWRP recovery
Possible reason explained here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56955843
Enjoy
Thanks for the hint.
Not sure if I get this. The problem was also there with the genuine Samsung ROM (lolipop)while the thread talks aout losing modem function after flashing custom ROM.
About previous I am not sure as I bought it used with 4.2.2 on it.
I updated to 4.4 and then 5 OTA, all genuine.
Only because the mobile kept on losing network I switched to custom ROM, but the problem persists.
At the moment I use the Pac-Man ROM 5.1.1 where it seems to be more stable.
Strange!
@augek
The linked thread isn't only about custom roms - you can end up with partly flashed baseband on genuine if you don't power off before download mode and flash using Odin.
Was the replacement job of SIM reader done by a qualified person?
Following your Suggestion i flashed the genuine lollipop with odin. Yes i switched of Prior to flashing.
And Yes the Person Who did the card reader Job is qualified.
Still the Problem persists.
So to me the question is if the Firmware (driver) is the Problem of my sim card. The sim i tried on my s4mini and doesn't cause Problems so far as far as i noticed.
P****es me of somehow.

Need assistance - SM-G900A stuck at Samsung logo after stock rom flash

Hey all,
Looking for some assistance here. I apologize in advance for not having specifics on everything, but it's been a couple years since I've needed to do anything with this phone (SM-G900A). I picked it up used a couple years ago and shortly after, I did a NOX unlock and rooted the phone for two reasons - using Titanium Backup and to unlock the WiFi hot spot. I recently noticed that something had happened and my root access wasn't working correctly- guessing from one of the OTA updates that was attempting to occur on my phone. I say attempt, because I don't believe they ever successfully installed since they always seemed to error out. I'm currently on StraightTalk, not an AT&T customer. Something weird was up with it though, because I could never uninstall the Xposed Framework or app, yet Pokémon Go was recognizing it was rooted and blocking my access. I should also mention that I had towelroot running on the phone and it's showing the custom unlocked padlock on startup.
Fast forward to last night- I wanted to return it back to the stock ROM so I did my research, found a couple different tutorials that included the correct ROMs and applied one - G900AUCU1ANCE_G900AATT1ANCE_ATT.zip. After flashing, the phone will not boot and freezes halfway through the swirls around the Samsung logo, then goes blank. The blue notification light also stays lit on the phone.
Thinking it was most likely bootloader related, I found another ROM that included separate AP, BL, CSC files. I attempted to flash the bootloader, which failed and I got the following error on the phone - SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1
At any rate, it seems like my boot loader somehow got corrupted or isn't compatible with this ROM, but I was hoping some of you experts out there could provide some answers. At this point my phone is dead, so I'm hoping I can get it restored very soon.
Thanks in advance guys!
The issue identified in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/help/g900a-stuck-samsung-logo-black-screen-d-t3050369) seems very similar to mine as well as what's described on this website- http://www.galaxys5update.com/fix-black-screen-with-pulsating-blue-led-on-galaxy-s5-g900a/
I'm seeing the pulsing blue light as well. How do I find the 4.4.4 OA1 Kernel identified in the first link?
