I rooted this morning took about half hour all went well phone worked great all day tonight when I got home I *228 opt.2 like I use to with myold flip phone and now I have no signal its like it is in airplane mode . Took out the battery let it sit and when booting back up it says airplane mode then gose to normale with signal within a min. it just gives me a X where the signal bar is . everything is on and airplane mode is off . It wont make calls .

Have you tried turning airplane mode on for a minute or two and then turning it off? Sometimes this can help with lost signals. If that doesn't work, I would try to do a factor/data reset, wipe dalvik, and reflash the ROM.
 
Yes I did turn it on then off . I ended up reflashing the rom I got it working agin but with real unstable signal . When I go to gscrip open it all I have is a blank page I can bring up menu to add scrip but it is like nothing is in there . Could this be my problem ?
Thank you for the reply metlcat at least I got one reply .
I have read over 2200 post trying to find my problem with no luck

This is by design with xtrROM (and xtrSENSE.)

Stock Eris 2.1 introduced this weird problem that if you checked your battery usage it would mistakenly report that time without a signal was 50% of the time (even though it wasn't). This can be fixed by quickly putting the phone in airplane mode, waiting a brief period (I used to wait for the display to turn off) and then turning off airplane mode.

With xtrROM 5.0.1 (and xtrSENSE5), zach.xtr added a script that puts the phone in airplane mode when it is booted, and then turns off airplane mode. It does this automatically, and its purpose is to fix the 50% without signal bug.

First off, it is normal for gscript to start that way - with a blank screen. You need to press menu and choose the option to add a script. If you are not seeing any scripts to add, something is up, because flashing the ROM adds a folder called gscript with a bunch of scripts to the SD card.

Perhaps there is an issue with the PRL (preferred roaming list) on the phone? Do you have no signal everywhere, or just at home? If you can find a signal somewhere, you may want to drive to that spot and do a reactivation (dial *228 and press 1 when prompted) and update the PRL (dial *228 and press 2 when prompted.)

When I rooted my phone I also had no signal initially. Have you just let it sit for a few minutes after you rebooted?

My signal came back by itself after what I thought was an eternity, but it has been great since then and endured several ROM flashings with no problems at all. :)
 
Thanks guys I have been reading over at xda on sence .
Yes I did let it sit over night in the morning I still had no signal so I flashed agin got signal so I let it go its working good the signal bar jumps around but I still can use the phone .
The gscrip had me confused since that is normal I'm ok .
I'm going to look into another Rom I just want something stable .

GSB works good for me.
 
Ok last night I did the prl update I did not want to because this is how I lost my signal the first time .I have weak signal but the phone still works this time .
I think I found the problem my phone dose not see my locale tower it is reading the tower the next town over . I think i read about another Rom doing this I have been reading for the past week so much info my head is spinning . I don't want this to beat me I want to make it right . I am new to the smart phone flash but have flashed the flip phones years ago .
any thoughts on this would be great thanks
