S4 Radio Busted? topic

So here's the deal. I had previously unlocked my s4 for tmobile/metro, and I was using it just fine with service and everything until like 2 weeks ago. I think I must have done something but I don't remember. Long story short, now my radio isn't working, for the sim or cdma.

I'm guessing it has something to do with the MEID. I was running sacs mk2 on the MDC modem.

Tried to odin, restore back up. I just don't have an efs back up :/

Not sure what to do now. Hoping someone has some tips.

Thanks to anyone for any type of help.

Busted phone for a Dev if you want it topic

Alright guys, I had a conversation in Ax's "Run ROMs on different Carriers" thread, but I really want to get to the bottom of my issue, whether it be a hardware issue, ROM related, OR user related.

I've been having an issue with my phone the past few days. Started out it would read "invalid sim, need to reboot" or something along that. Anyways this was after flashing a nightly and I figured, OK, it's a nightly i'll live with it. Eventually my phone just started to power off/reboot all by itself; not real consistent but it was happening more than I would like. Today, the S*&% really hit the fan. I flashed a nightly Wednesday night(i'm not going to say which one, because i'm not sure if it was from the ROM itself or if this was a hardware issue). Anyways, Friday at about noon or so, I open a game to play on my lunch break, I get distracted so I lock my phone to attend to something else. I go back to my phone and it is powered off, now totally unresponsive to anything. I pull battery and try to restart, when I place the battery back in the phone it automatically reboots(WITHOUT ANY BUTTON PRESS) I thought to myself ok this is kind of weird. I try rebooting by using power+vol up...absolutely nothing, it's just a brick. Well, I pull the battery again, hold vol up thinking it will go into recovery...nope, it will boot for a sec or two, just enough to get the blue lettering on the top left of the screen then shuts off again. OK, let's put this b*&*h into download mode and see what happens. it goes into DL mode, all the way to the point of where it says " do not turn target off" then shuts down. I did both of these multiple times, with different batteries as well, plugged in and not. It won't stay on for a computer to recognize it. Someone suggested a stuck power button, I don't think so; it feels the same as it always has.

I was fortunate enough to be able to get another S4 with a busted screen so I switched out motherboards. I have a working phone again...which is all I was worried about. I've flashed quite a few ROMs, I follow procedure to the T when flashing... What do you guys think...hardware issue...user issue...ROM issue? I'm very curious to know because I don't want this happening again, obviously. I would even send the phone out to someone to play with(mind you, the screen doesn't work and the silver bezel is crappy because I just used my original one).

[Q] Busted USB port - worth fixing? topic

My USB port hasn't worked for a few months. It was intermittent at first, but by now it's just dead. I bought a battery charger and a second battery, and just swapped them every night. Works well enough, but it's a PITA.

I've had my i9100g for just shy of 2 years, so it's supposed to still be under warranty (here in Germany, anyway). I sent it to the repair facility but they're giving me grief about running CyanogenMod. Note that the phone won't even charge from fully off -- it's *clearly* a hardware issue, but I don't know if I'll be able to talk them into fixing it. Otherwise, they want over a hundred euro to fix the phone (they insist on a full motherboard replacement), which IMHO is barely worth that new at this point.

If I can't get it fixed under warranty, should I try to get the local repair shop to replace just the USB port, or should I try to replace the whole motherboard myself? (I'm comfortable with disassembling fiddly electronics, but I can't do tiny surface-mount soldering.) Have any of you done either of these things?
