[Q] Please Help. RED X on my service bars

[Shyne888]

I really need some help. I have used the stock NAB from Frezza to upgrade from MJ4 on my SMN900P. I flashed it step by step added CF root set by set. I also flashed TWRP set by set. But now i have a phone that will not get the mobile connection. I have a red X on my signal bars. I don't know what to do but i have been looking and looking. I wonder if some how the modem got messed up. If so do you think i can flash the NAB modem to the phone and restore the service.

Mobile Network type: Unknown
Service State: Out of service
Mobile Network State: Disconnected

I have the phone flashed to Red Pocket since Pre-Payd Wireless was shut down
I cant update my prl and profile because as you might see from the Screeshot I still have the activation check and if i try to update either it only takes me to the activation thing

Have you tried reflashing the tar through Odin? I would download a new copy first. You may have had a corrupt download the first time around. This is just a guess but you never know. It can't hurt to try. The worst thing that could happen is you will have to root and flash TWRP again.

I did not originally read this part. This may be your problem, that you have flashed to another carrier. You may need someone who knows more about this stuff to help you. I have never even heard of red pocket.

I understand what your saying but i was on red pocket before i flashed the update. So i know the MJ4 Modem works with my phone. I dont know if i should just use the downgrade option and just say forget it. I will try to reflash and if that doesnt work ill just downgrade

Same Problem myself.

I am having the same problem too. I haven't been able to fix it either. Im guessing id have to rebuild the efs. Also does anyone know the msl for a device that has no esn meid or imei? I tried the correct MSL's I programmed and none work. Someone please help I am a noob here and phones are kinda new to me. I'm computer savy though, so that has helped quite a bit. The 16 digit password would work too. Just so I can get to it in CDMA workshop, or DFS.

I just got a note 3, had it flashed to boost and have the same problem, were you able to resolve the problem?

If you downgrade the modem to MJ4, the signal will come back. Here's a link to the MJ4 modem.

I had this same problem and im flashed to pageplus. odin back to stock then flash back to the mj4 modem in odin before you root or get a custom recovery.that is what worked for me.

Seems like we've all encountered this problem when it comes to flashing our phones from Sprint to another company because I've recently needed help fixing my 'red x' when I updated to KitKat. And I have to use the MJ4 modem as well, the NAB doesn't work.

Does anyone know what the problem could be, & why our phone only works on JellyBean modems?

 

[E-POUND]

I'm thinking because they found a way to lock the modem to only work on sprint. I'm going thru the same.
