Hi I have a droid 4. I bought it in the USA and used it only in Italy. It was rooted and unlocked and it has always been working fine over GSM and 3G. Then I decided to install CM 10.2.1 and then i upgraded it to CM 11. In both cases sending sms was not working (calls and internet fine). Trying to fix it I went also in the *#*#4636#*#* testing menu and changed setting of radio. But now I cannot restore it and I always get no signal. Both with CM but also booting from Stock ROM.
I flashed many times but still nothing. As first I'd like to have singal back to call and use the net (3G). then I'll fix sms.
Can I do a sort of radio otpion reset? or firmware reset?
Plese help! Thank you!
IF there is some better section (or forum) just tell, I guess it can be a common issue and not specific for D4.

fastboot radio radio.img
I did it too
radio.img is found on the fastboot archive, no data will be lost. enter in fastboot by pressing vol up + down and power
Regards
To make your SMS work, you need to change a setting in build.prop relating to it, none of the radio settings will make it work since that isn't the problem.
ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc=1 must be changed to ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc=0
or install mentor's gsm patch

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)
Hi,
I have a Motorola Droid 4 and I am in France (so I need GSM to work... I am not so familiar with the different types of networks).
I have installed a recovery system (SafeStrap I think) and I installed Cyanogen mod 10.1.3 (the latest stable release) from here.
My issue is that I am not able to set the SMSC on the phone (and therefore, I can't send SMS). I use *#*#4636#*#* => Phone Settings. I set the SMSC (I tried many formats, the PDU is then translated correctly into a number) but when I press back and go back immediately into Phone Settings, the SMSC is blank again...
I tried many things (reinstalling CM, rebooting, etc...) but I can't save the SMSC...
I tried installing a patch to make it fully compatible to GSM networks but it doesn't seem to help at all... (sorry I can't give you the link of the patch as I am a new user)
I really don't know what else to do right now (except buying another phone...)
Thank you !
Edit : I fixed the issue... I have no idea how, the SMSC field is still empty, but... It works !
Hi all! I have a droid 4. i just flashed it with CM10.2.1 and then updated to CM11. in both version sms is not working. I type a new text and it fails: i get the red triangle and message not sent.
I looked around and I found it's a common issue and if you remove "voice+" sending sms is available again. I removed "voice+" going to system>app>voiceplus.apk and deleting it as i saw in a thread and reboted, many times. still not working.
then I also went to the *#*#4636#*#* menu and checked the SMSC. I tried both the +39 and the 079193 version but still nothing.
I have to add I'm using the phone in italy over a GSM network. Phone calls and data network (3G) works perfectly!
How can I fix this? CM11 is a stable on this phone, strange to have such a big problem!
Thank you for help!

Installing the patch twice uninstalls it.
Install it again and then reboot.
If you upgrade the ROM at any point in the future you don't need to install the patch just reboot again.
So, first reboot after a ROM upgrade will leave you with no GSM signal but another reboot will bring it back.

Scott

I did it and in the 4636 menu I have GSM but still does not get signal...
Have you tried using an alternative SMS App? Hangouts maybe?
So I managed to solve the problem. This is the way:
-deleted rom slot 1.
-recreated a partition in rom slot 1
-wiped everything in slot 1
-flashed cm 10.2.1
-flashed gsm patch
-booted
-flashed gapps
Now everything is fine!
Hey Guys,
I have seen multiple threads about 5.1 having an issue with SMS/MMS. My problem is that I do not get a signal at all. I did a full factory flash to Android 5.1 and now i get no connection what so ever. I have tried multiple combinations with toggling Enhanced 4G LTE mode and Preferred network type and nothing makes any difference. If I flash back to SOKP rc1 5.0.2 it works great. I have the latest bootloader and radio. Has anyone experenced this or have any tips?
Thank You,
DFL
Have you tried changing your APN? Try these settings https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-17581 ... Then delete all other APNs you're not using
@YankInDaSouth yeah, i did do that. after much trial and error i got it working. i ended up re-flashing the radio via fastboot, reset and the data/voice cam in.
thank you for the help,
dfl
Glad you got it all worked out!!
611 works for you?
611 not working for me. On stock rooted ROM.

Hi everybody (and sorry in advance for my poor english) !
I am having exactly the same problem as the OP. To explain the situation in a nutshell:
I have the SM-G800F, for about a month. It worked fine, until I moved to the other end of France (it probably has nothing to do, though). Passing on the highway, "Emergency calls only" showed up while I was looking at my emails. The problem is that things never got back to normal.
The situation :
As I said, the same as the OP. When I turn on my phone or I go out of airplane mode, my phone tries to connect to 2G, then 4G / H+. The process takes a few seconds, then any indicator (left of network "bars") disappears, and I can't issue or receive calls, nor use data.
But if I force "2G only", everything works just fine.
I was using a rooted 5.1.1.. In the meantime, I tried several suggestions found here or elsewhere:
-Turn off the phone and on again : Nothing
-Enable / Disable flight mode: Nothing
-Remove / Replace the SIM card: Nothing
-Putting the sim in another phone: everything works just fine, so the problem may not be a faulty sim card
-Wipe Data / Cache Data then use Odin to reinstall a stock 5.1.1 rom (I'm really a noob to find the right words, sorry in advance, but my phone says, under the "version number" field , LMY47X .G800FXXU1BPC4 and the ROM I used is named : -G800FXXU1AOG2_G800FOXX1AOG1_G800FXXU1AOG2_HOME.tar.md5 filename
Manual carrier selection : Nothing
-Turn on Data Roaming : Nothing
-Checker my APN : Everything seems just fine
I can't tell for sure but I do not think it is related to my home. My problem began on the road and took the rest of the trip (2h/3h), and even around in the city, it remains. Moreover, my backup phone and the other people on the same network as me (Orange) don't encounter this problem.
So, I'm a little bit confused and a bit worried because of Knox (0x1: /). If you have opinions, advice, guidance, thank you very much in advance!

No, I really don't know what the problem is I think it's something in the phone itself
I've got the same problem too
Did you find the cause of this issue in the end?

Hi !
Not yet ... I have another phone now but i still try now and then to fix my S5 mini.
So far, nothing worked. Some tech guy told me it was a common issue with that phone's antenna. Also read that from several forums.
Still, i read that some users were able to fix similar looking issues by flashing the modem file with Odin. I'm a bit n00b but i guess i'll give it a try.
Any success on your side ?
You can try searching for your carrier manually and choosing it.

Thanks, but i already tried that many many times. My S5 Mini just displays "Network XXX unavailable" (or its nearest equivalent in French)
Did any of you manage to fix that by flashing your modem file with Odin ?
I've tried additional stuff but nothing seems to work. Back to stock Marshmallow. Still loosing radio signal whenever I enable 3/4G.
Maybe the bottomline is "hardware failure" but who knows...
Thx everyone!

Have you tried a deep reset? If it does not works, try a custom ROM...
Hi !
Thanks for your reply,
I did try "Factory Reset" and "Wipe Cache" while in the Recovery Menu (Home+Power+Vol Up if I remember well). Is that what you were refering to ?
But I think I didn't try flashing a custom rom. Could you recommend one ?

Yes I was meaning this. For a custom ROM i can recommend One of the latest with NOUGAT like Lineage OS 14.1

Hi,
I installed Lineage OS 14.1, it's great but the same problem keeps happening. Everything works just fine in 2G, but whenever I enable 3G or 4G, my phone looses radio siglal and switches to "Emergency calls only" after a few seconds.
Any other thoughts ?
Thx !
As a side question, would you think of any way to rule out/confirm the possibility of HW failure ?
Thanks again !
Did anyone found solution for this?
Hi,
I've got the same problem. Tried to flash with Lineage 13.0, then 14.1 and still the same problem.
Anyone help?
Flash the last modem/baseband, did yoy try *#*#4636#*#* ? You can manually select wcdma only(3g) or lte only(4g) (sorry for my bad english)
still not working
When I choose 3G/2G auto connect from 1 line ti go to 4 signal.. so no LTE /4G for now..
