rootinghaven is correct. You will have to make a new apn to get service back. You should be able to do this with any custom roms that don't give you cell service.

Go to: settings, more.., mobile networks, and or access point name. Here you will make a new apn by clicking the + button.
Here you will need to fill out the proper APN settings and save the new APN (anything left out from this list doesn't need to be changed). The settings are:

Name:
MetroPCS
APN:
fast.metropcs.com
Proxy:
Not set
Port:
Not set
User Name:
Not set
Password:

Server:

MMSC:

MMS Proxy:
Not set
MMS Port:
Not set
MCC:
310
MNC:
260
Authentication type:
None
APN type:
default,mms,supl
APN protocol:
IPv4
APN roaming protocol:
IPv4
Enable/disable APN:
APN enabled

Good luck!!

What rom are you on now? what rom have you tried flashing ? Also what firmware/modem version? You have the M919N, yes?

Really the best bet is to go back to a stock samsung rom for your phone, start from scratch.

ok so i was on the wrong baseband so i got it to work but now my wifi isnt working and im on stock 4.4.4

If you are stll on Insane Kitkat then you are not stock, but thats ok. Wifi issues are sometimes caused by a modem software mismatch. My suggestion would be to update your phone's firmware to the newest metropcs firmware. It will update your entire phone to the proper settings and modems. The newest for us is NI3. Find it on post #1 of this thread under M919N Backups/Firmwares. You will have to root again afterwards and install a new recovery but you will be working and stock.
 
I just wanna say ty to everyone here for the advice that was given to others.. esp rocker
I was trwping my phone and had a firmware error.. after spending the day looking thru all 8 pages here i found that my problem was as simple as a bad usb cable!!.. now i am back trwp'd, rerooted and knoxless.. you guys rule ty again
Oh what do you think of thenew trwp manager app for rooted phones that is on google.. lets you do roms and such without entering recovery.. think it is good or no?
 
I have just two questions, I'm on the metropcs s4.. Can i root my phone using cf auto-root on android 4.4.4? Also, do I have to unlock the bootloader first? Thanks for the help!
