I've got a problem :(

So my G1 had no signal for like 20 minutes (at my house, where it always has signal) and I rebooted the phone. When it rebooted, the signal icon had an X over it and on the left of the notification bar there was an icon that said (when notif bar was pulled down) "Loading Data.. Please wait" so i waited like 15 minutes and nothing..
Then i flashed to the latest Cyanogen and it worked but now I'm at the "Welcome to T-Mobile G1" with no signal . So idk what the problem is..
Anyone know what the problem is, or can help me?
Thanks!

It usually takes a min or 2 for it to connect maybe try changing apn settings by pressing menu?

Happened to me!! I woke up one morning and my G1 could not and would not receive service... I freaked out thinking it was a side effect of CYAN but it turns out, I just need a new sim card.

[Q] Phone is in a reboot loop with no radio signal

I've tried flashing numerous ROMs and they all boot up then proceed to restart about 30-45 seconds after doing so. When the phone turns back on, it just comes up to a black screen with nothing but the wi-fi signal, radio signal(which receives no signal), and battery icon at the top of the screen. It'll continue to reboot after 30-45 seconds on this screen as well.
Now I can access my settings on this screen if I pull down the the tab from the top. When I go to my phone info, the MEID,phone number, and IMEI among other things are "Unknown". I have tried clearing cache and doing a factory reset but it doesn't help.
If it helps, this is an HTC One that I bought from Ting so I was unsure if this should be here or in the Sprint HTC One subforum.
I just want to get this phone back to how it was working when I first got it. What do I need to do?
Did you figure it out
Did you happen to figure out how to fix your phone? If so please post how you did it
If it is a CDMA version it was flashed with a GSM ROM (could be vice versa as well). Only an RUU fixes it. I had a friend flash a GSM ROM to a Sprint and it was the exact same symptoms. Black screen, no IMEI, reboots.. no ROM flash will fix it.

UMTS/HSPA switching bug

Hey guys,
I seem to have an issue which i have encountered in other devices forums such as:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1628733
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30868987
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149716
A description of the problem goes like this: the mobile network keeps switching between 3G/H/LTE until it finally sort of hangs on one of them with only the upload arrow blinking about once per second. During this "hang", i cannot make or receive calls despite having full signal indication. After a few minutes, the reception indicator goes down to empty, mobile data indicator disappears and after few secs of no reception returns to normal only for the issue to reoccur randomly. I'm getting this from once per day to dozens of times per hour and it's killing my nerves.
I have to mention that rooting or s-off is really off the table right now as, if the problem persists after unlocking i am stuck with a void warranty unstable phone.
Has anyone else encountered this issue?
Any advice?

Sorry for the ultra-necro. Did you ever get this sorted? I'm getting this now and I'm at a dead end with no way forward..

Missing LTE Baseband

so my other droid 4 died and i got some factory refurb droid 4 but the LTE baseband is missing and im stuck with only 3G.
i let the phone do some update when i initially turned it on but there was still no LTE so i flashed the latest stock firmware with RSD and still no luck
anyone have any ideas? i really want to avoid returning this phone because i've already had to return another one before this one because data connectivity would drop all the time and was unreliable as in it had 5 bars of LTE and only uploading 5KB/s

Have access to a different sim card, and phone, that you could switch with for a few minutes?
Could rule out bad Sim.

unfortunately the only device i have that still works is droid 3 and they use different sims so no
the other droid 4 wont go past the red M. sometimes it got past it but it wouldnt load anything afterwards and i cant rsd it because the battery is too low so its pretty much dead
i will say that i was a little bit rough removing the sim because i wasnt sure how to remove it it but i didnt scratch it or anything
the IMEI is listed as "unknown" and LTE radio wont turn on even if i press "turn on radio"
do you think it might be the sim?

I'm not sure, but more likely bad radio flash or bad hardware
Did you verify md5 for firmware?
Try one of the other Jellybean xmls

Booting from AP fastboot to charging mode
If the Device will only boot to AP Fastboot and it says Battery Low
Connect the phone/Device ato a Wall Charger (not PC)
-In AP Fastboot Mode hold Volume down& power buttons at the same time for +10 seconds
- When screen goes black...release power button
-Then IMMEDIATELY press and hold Vol - and Vol+ to boot to Boot Menu.
- In Boot Menu scroll down with volume down to BP Tools, press volume up to select
- Device should boot to Charging Mode with battery icon
- Once battery is charged, try flashing in AP Fastboot again
This will only work if battery charging Firmware is still preset and not corrupted
If Motorola Device will not boot to Charging Mode, a Fastboot cable will be needed.

i selected normal powerup somehow it managed to boot up to the activation screen so ill let it charge there for a while then ill try one of the JB xmls
i should also note that ive used the same xml before (around 3-4 times) with the old droid 4 that died and never had any issues with the radio
okay so i flashed "4.1.2 - cdma_maserati_9.8.2O-72_VZW-18-2_1ff.xml.zip" and still no luck with getting LTE
i dont think its sim related either because the problem is there and ive taken out my sim before starting with the flashing. i suspect it was there before i even used it
after looking around on the droid 4 forum for it seems like all the other cases similar to mine went unanswered so this isnt really looking good
pretty disappointing to get 2 defective devices in a row

Phone freezes with black screen and have to hard reboot

I have only 2 days of warranty left on my phone so that makes things scary for me.
I recently got my motherboard changed but still have the same problem. No problem what ROM or kernel I use I get the same issue. I have been facing this since last 3 months and no solution till date. So please if you could just find some time please read on.
(Am posting the same text over a couple more threads as well in order to maximize the help I can get. So please forgive me for that.)
I currently have two sim cards:
BSNL: 2g and 3g coverage only
Jio 4g: only 4g coverage.
So I primarily use my data from Jio 4g but I recently also recharged my BSNL as well because of low data rates and also so that I can use more data per day. (They both have per day data plans).
When I use data from Jio sim, it uses the 4g network and hence the BSNL shifts to 2g only mode and I don't face any problems. But when I switch to BSNL sim for data, it jumps to 3g and the jio sim has no network because it only has 4g coverage and no 2g network. That's all expected. But that's the setup when I face problem in.
When am using my phone it runs smooth and every thing is perfect. But when I leave it aside for some time and come back to see it, it doesn't responds. There is only black screen. It doesn't responds to power button or the charging cable. It just sits like that. I have to hard restart the device by pressing the power button for like 15 seconds. And the phone eats battery while it was in that state of unresponsiveness. It occurs randomly. No phone calls or alarms ring while in that state and it eats a damn lot of battery.
I tried swapping sim slots but that does not changes anything. I switched places (and they were all at least 20 km apart).
But the strange thing is that when I swap either of the sim cards with any other 3rd company sim there is no problem whatsoever is the sim selected for the data. Also if I use the BSNL and JIO 4g one at a time(only one sim at a time) I don't face any problem even then. It only occurs when I use both of them together and that too when the data is turned on in BSNL. I have tried nearly everything I could. And now you are the only help left.
(And those who get annoyed by this post(s) please swallow in your anger as am already really broke as of now)
I will help you in any possible way I can.
Currenctly on stock OOS with locked bootloader but tell me and I'll move to your desired setup.
Update: i forgot to mention about logs. sorry for that. i know a little about taking adb logcat and i know that without logs no one would be actually help me out effectively. so please guide me on what kind of logs i need to get(logcat, radio logcat or kernel log). also since am not rooted adb will be the option for taking logs
Update2: adding latest radio logcat and a normal logcat as well. am giving another chance at taking a normal logcat again as last time i forget to export the logcat but instead made the CMD to display the logcat live in the window. Also while i was taking radio logcat i noticed that the phone's screen went black(and became unresponsive) at around 15:38 but the log shows it for only upto 15:35, hope i didn't missed something.
was unable to upload the files on xda hence uploading them to gdrive
Update3:took another log. this time also the log show last time as 16:10 but the phone went black at around 16:38. file is named logcat1.txt
Update4: ok i got another radio log. a proper one this time directly from cmd. maybe that's all i can do to help myself. i really need support now
Is your device in totally stock state? Stock oos stock recovery and bootloader locked? If yes then seems like hardware issue. If no then flash stock original oos whith stock recovery and check if problem is still there? If problem is still there submit your device to service center again.

With time so short, I think that invoking the warranty is best.
Don't take delivery of the repaired phone unless it is demonstrated to you at the service center that the issue is set right, even if you have sit there for a few hours waiting to see if the phone freezes. Otherwise, the next time they will claim that it is out of warranty.
