4S Jailbreak: NO Phone Icon , No Service

Tee2eye said:

Alright, Im on a VZW 32gb 4S, and jailbroke about an hour ago using the OSX method. Everything was working fine, I even made a few calls AFTER the jailbreak.

I tried installing SBsettings, and tried messing with adding it to the Notificnation Center, and all of a sudden I didnt have any service. Went to the homescreen, and noticed that my Phone app is not there anymore.

Can anyone tell me whats wrong? I didnt backup, should I just go through the Jailbreak process again?

Seems to be a common problem. Mine did it too. I restored and it's all fine now. Using intelliscreenx though. I heard that resetting network settings fixes it. But don't use sbsettings again.

Edit...I set up as new phone.

Reboot

GOT THE PHONE APP BACK, it was simply disabled in Springtomized2's Capabilities section, but I still have no service?

If I go and re;jailbreak, will I lose info? How do I go about doing it? Just plug the phone in and click Jailbreak again or is there a certain process?

As you didn't backup prior to first jailbreak, then you have put yourself in a dilemma.. Because if you do a backup now, it will be worthless as in being used as a backup to restore your files, as it will give you the same problem as you are experiencing atm, but it will get all your files back. I'm sure there is a way to save whatever you want to, so i'd advice to google for solutions depending on what kind of files you are looking to save..

Tee2eye said:

Well, the only things it will save is Photos, Apps, and thats it right? I can save the photos, and always re-download the apps right?

I see everyone else re-JBing, can I do it? And how do I do it?

Everything is saved in the backup (contacts, media, settings, game saves, etc.).

Your apps are still in iTunes on the computer. You simply sync them back on after a restore to factory settings.

Tee2eye said:

My contacts are linked with my gMail account, so those will be saved correct?

I NEED to use my phone, like NOW. Can someone help me out with re-JBing? Why, if I re-JB, does it erase data, when I originally JB it didnt delete any data?

Click to expand...

Yes, your contacts that are backed up in your Gmail account can be synced back on. Rejailbreaking doesn't erase data; restoring to factory settings does. If you are experiencing problems due to the jailbreak, you'll need to restore and then rejailbreak. This is why it's important to do an iTunes/iCloud backup prior to jailbreaking.

Can you access the phone app with Spotlight? Maybe it's just hidden.

Did multiple times, just tried to Reset Network Settings and there still 'No Service'.

Should I re-JB?

That is really weird. That has fixed it for most. Did you uninstall sbsettings and try resetting network settings after that?

No service for me too.. on Sprint.

Seemed to happen after installing SBSettings and then toggling the "3G" tab. Not sure.

I am restoring now and will try to re-jailbreak.

This must be a CDMA iPhone 4s thing. That's what broke mine as well. Except with intelliscreenx. After a restore as new and reinstalling intelliscreenx, it works fine! Note though the first time it broke I did have sbsettings installed as well playing with both. I never did the reset network settings thing though cause I didn't know. I just restored my phone and rejailbroke.

Tee2eye said:

Yup, just tried it again in fact, no go. AGHHHHHH I need to use my phone! What should I do? I didnt do a backup, so would Restore to Factory Settings work? And then Re-JB?

You will need to restore and set up as new. Just sync all your photos with iPhoto. You cannot restore from backup unless you did a backup before this all happened.

Hey happened to me to. I was impatient with waiting for the restore from my backup and unplugged my phone just to see if my signal was back and that ruined my backup! Oh well.

Yeah.. I thought I backed it up.. but maybe it didnt complete?

Just a pain to put all my email addresses, apps, and the settings back to where it was.

Oh well..I will hold off on the JB until this no service thing gets fixed.

same thing happened to my 4s it went under "no service" after toggling the 3g the problem occured . I reset the network settings then turned off Voice roaming and data roaming and cellular data. then turned them back on and had service back up and running.

Phone Needs Activation

Tee2eye... this happened to me as well, soon after I installed SBSettings. I did a full restore to factory settings, and nothing. Didn't work. A friend then told me to try calling *228, which brings you to Verizon's automated phone activation service. After you hit 1 to activate, it will put you on hold and activate your phone again. It took a little while after I got off the phone, but eventually you'll get a message saying your phone was activated. Please note I haven't tried this yet WHILE I was jailbroken, but I did it after my factory settings were restored.. either way, it worked and got my phone service back. Pretty scary though for the few hours I was down...

Hope this helps!

Same thing as above. I toggled off cell data, voice, data roaming and service returned. Then cydia was stuck and would not open. Reboot fixed that

Thank you. Your fix worked for me.

This works! Read and your problem will be solved

Thank you, this was the only thing that worked as I did not want to be at work until 7pm without any service! READ and magic will happen. Thanks again!!!!!

This fix worked for me! Thanks, I'd already restored once, then reinstalled SBSettings and did it again.

I used it several times before toggling the 3G button the first time, so it was very tough to narrow down what I had done to mess things up. Resetting network settings didn't do it by itself, but toggling the cellular data and roaming worked!

I tried to replicate it again, and simply toggling the cellular data and voice roaming buttons was sufficient. Resetting network settings was not necessary.
