[Galaxy Note 4 General] Preaper:
Thanks you made me look at the logcat again and it was just then that I found out that I have fixed the issue. It's just that it wasn't the only issue, because there still is no network

Current logcat output:

Yay! Progress. Now to find out why /dev/efs_hsic_bridge is missing :)

I think mdm_helper just polls to see if /dev/efs_hsic_bridge is up. If I look at the device it is up right now. So this can't be the issue... Besides - the working CM rom outputs the same 'error'.

This part is not right in my logcat:

E/QC-time-services( 397): Daemon:genoff_boot_tod_init: Unable to set TOD at boot up
E/QC-time-services( 397): Daemon: Unable to set TOD at boot up
D/QC-time-services( 397): Daemon:genoff_modem_qmi_init: Initiallizing QMI

QC-time-services is involved in some modem stuff, and the above error doesn't occur on gekke's rom.

The message comes from /system/bin/time_daemon. Going to replace it.

That didn't work. The more I think about it, the less I think this really is the issue. the time_daemon is just a daemon to sync the time. It uses the modem to get the current time of day (TOD), which explains why there is a link between the two. The fact that it now fails is a result of the modem issues, not a cause.
