I'm having an issue that hasn't happened before. My data used to be working fine on Serendipity but now, even after flashing to the new 5.3, my 3G network isn't working at all for data. I can't browse the web, get e-mail, etc.
When I flashed back to stock rom, the data worked fine, as soon as I flashed to 5.3 the data was inoperable again - and this was a fresh install meaning I did a MASTER CLEAR and did NOT restore my backup from Titanium yet.
I figured that it might just be the ROM so I flashed back to stock, checked that data worked (it did) and flashed Phoenix 4.5. Same problem. Fresh install, data isn't working.
I checked the APN and all the APN settings are the exact same from stock (I wrote them down). I tried disabling 3G and using GSM (Edge) and data worked fine, but when I placed it in automatic again, data stopped working.
I tried switching bands from 850 and 1900. I don't have 850 here but that never been an issue as I have always used 1900. I tried installing the JL3 modem, still data isn't working.
Now, I'm totally lost. Please, does anyone have ANY suggestions?
Did you check your bill to see if you still have the plan?

Yes, of course I still have the plan. If data worked fine in stock ROM why wouldn't I have the plan?
This is the wrong place for this post, mods please move!!!
Most likely you need to check your APN settings.

I don't think that's the problem though. If data worked fine in stock but not in a custom ROM then it can't be the SIM card.

I only tried Serendipity 5.3 and Phoenix 4.5. I'm thinking of trying Perception or Cognition next to see if the problem still persists.
I had/have a similar issue and think it is a modem issue. Using Perception I had no 3g issues. But when I tried Darky's rom it would stay um EDGE. If I forced WCDMA only it would work (or have no service). I can't be certain but the best modem for you depends on region.

This sounds like an APN/modem issue. Why dont you ask in the Serendipity thread? Im sure people which are using it and Mike will be able to help you
I solved my problem when I installed Cognition 3.04. I'm not sure but isn't Cognition based on a Captivate Rom and uses a Captivate modem?
It might not have been ROM specific but kernel specific. You can load custom ones or use the one each rom is built with. Though I might be way off here.

Try some other i9000 roms like Andromeda, Continuum and di11is5.3 roms.
Here is a list of i9000 and i897 modems http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391
(EDIT = they are all i9000 modems actually with one i9088 modem from Chinese Captivate)
The most puzzling thing is that I never had a problem like this before. It just kind of happened, as if AT&T changed something over at the region where I live. Because if it worked with the stock rom and after a master clear still doesn't work with the customs roms... it just seems a bit odd; especially since it worked before.
Did you ever check to see what it says in Settings => About Phone => Status for Mobile Network Type?

When I was on DocRambone's 7.5 JPA with the older ReOrient kernel 2.1.1 I never had soft reboot problems and then it seems I started getting them after a lot of the Captivate kernels started incorporating these small tweaks.
After reading a lot of other posts other people have been having this same problem but we have no idea what is causing it. At first I thought it was one of the tweaks that you enable in the new recovery ULF tweak section but after disabling all those tweaks and doing a factory reset I was still getting them.
I tried a very untweaked setting with haptic feedback and only bln (no lagfixes, etc...) and it still happened.
Has anyone been able to find the culprit? I've tried 2 different kernels: Reorient and SetiroN's.
When I have my phone in my pocket and I'm driving I'll randomly feel haptic feedback even though I dont have a call or text and shortly thereafter I'll get 2 small vibrations and then a reboot. Once it reboots it seems to come back up for a few minutes and reboot again. I was using ChompSMS with BLN and haptic enabled and that was pretty much the only things I changed from stock.
P.S - The purpose of this thread is to put a collaborative effort in finding out WHY our phones are restarting for some unknown reason. As this community and devs grow, sometimes problems like this arise.
I have seen a few post about the reboots. I have never had any with the kernels. Its kinda strange some of us dont have the issue.
there are several reasons for soft reboots.
if you are running an i9000 rom with a captivate modem, you will get them
if you are running an i9000 rom with a particular modem that doesnt work in your area, you will get them when the modem tries to hand off between towers.
you can get them from oc/uv, bad framework hacks, bad rom, etc. it is all circumstantial, it all depends on what changes you have made from stock....

The DocRambone 7.1 and 7.5 I9000 ROM uses the JPP modem if I'm not mistaken, and I never had reboots. It wasn't until I went to reorient kernel 2.1.2 (or 2.1.3 can't remember) that these reboots occurred.
Right now I'm doing Doc 7.6 MikeyMike01 with JG8 modem and SetiroN 1.2. I also had a previous setup of using JPP and a different rom with both kernels and had reboot problems.
If the modem is somehow causing reboots I may go to the stock captivate modem and see what's going on.
So far in my apartment the phone has not rebooted by itself (has had a constant HSUPA connection). I'm also running the ROM stock without recovering any of my apps. When I leave here soon I'll see if my phone restarts. If it does, then it would appear a modem issue may be at hand.

as i stated earlier, the soft reboots usually occur due to modem/rom incompatibilities when the modem is trying to hand off from network to network.
this was a part of our experiments with the ji6/jpk roms that boomerod, shep, and several others were testing. it has to do mostly with the 850mhz frequency.

I remember one time i did a certain combination of install rom, restore apps and apply jfs lagfix and a popup came up that said i had mismatching uid's and that i had to format /data directory.
Sure enough soft reboots all.over the place after some fc's.
I found that the best way to use the lagfix is to restore apps b4 lagfix and activate the tweaks at the same time as the fix. It works for me

I've only used stock modems on our two captivates - occasionally they will restart out of the blue.
Once in particular I think it was because of a live wallpaper. After disabling it, everything seemed smooth running again. I just use plain black wallpaper and mine never reboots.

The JG8 is an Eclair modem, not Froyo. Its purpose is to use at the beginning of an install from stock JF6. Once you have the rom and kernel you want, you need to replace it with a Froyo (suggest JPP) modem.
Don't leave yourself running a Froyo (i.e. Shep) rom with an Eclair modem, you are just asking for trouble.

Not sure on glitch, but running RC2.11+Nushor's big mem 20120201 AND 20120101 worked just fine.
Does anyone know a good modem for this that works in Oregon? Every modem I use I get good signal and sound on my end but the sound on the other end is low.
No Wifi
Flashed 2.1 yesterday all went well but no wifi. Tried crusecontrl's MO found here all went well but still no wifi. Tried the JVT modem without success as well, so went back to JK3 as JVT 3G connection was no bueno. Any suggestions as to where else I should be looking? Did not see this issue in the known bug list.

I'm using KI1 in Corvallis, and it's working great. No complaints on either end.
Captivate Modem
For anyone who is experiencing problems with their call quality on the Captivate (I897) here is a modem that works:
www.mediafire.com/?bps9bw65jno2a4o
This appears to be one of the only modems I could flash that did not sound distorted (garbled, low, static) in any manner. Only downside is that the cell signal strength is slightly weaker than the other I897 modems I tried. Sound quality is more important than cell signal strength.
Speaking of modems, anyone has a suggestion for a modem that works good in Canada (if in Montreal, even better)?
Sound clarity is fine but my signal is quite weak and outside the city, I can't get 3G.
Also, where can I find a trustworthy source for the stock modem if I need to revert back to it after some experiments?
Thanks!

Also, is the procedure mentioned in the how-to (making sure the reception is poor, therefore forcing the band in 850) is still valid?

Rogers seems to play well with KC1, if you want to give that a try.
I posted this question in the original thread for ICS. I installed ICS RC 2.1 this morning over cm7/miui rebooted cleared the cache and rebooted again. The soft buttons have only worked a handful of times. I'm using the Glitch kernel it came bundled with. Any help would be great. Thanks adzidek for pointing me to this thread.
You need to switch the kernel. Either flash a newer glitch found at their thread, or flash one of nushor's kernels at ics.darkirc.me
You might need to factory reset, but I know that newer nushor kernels need wipe cache and dalvik before flashing the kernel.

Modem Questions
Is the procedure for flashing modems with this ICS ROM the same as before? Just selecting a modem and flashing in CWM?
I'm running the ICS RC2.11 with Nushor's r3148v kernal for I897 and I897 AT&T GB Bootloaders. Everything works great for me, other than the known issue with the video recording (WIP) and my low cell signal. The sound quality is great on calls, however in areas where I used to get 3-4 bars, I'm lucky to have one colored in. Is this just that ICS reports the signal differently, or should I try swapping modems? Also, I know in the past you had to use the modem that matched your kernel (I897 vs. I9000.) Is that still true? I noticed after flashing Nushor's and finally booting successfully, that I have JVT which is a I9000 modem. I presume then that I just need to use any one of the CM ICS modems for I9000, and to stay away from I897 modems, correct?
I'm sorry if this seems n00bish, I've been flashing ROM's for quite some time, however my experience with modems is not nearly as vast. Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone,
So I'm trying to odin back to stock. But, I can't access download mode. I've tried adb commands, buttons combos, everything, including a USB jig, no go. Is download mode not built into these ICS builds?
How can I access download mode??
I was thinking about flashing to CM7, then access dl mode, then stock. But, can't flash to CM7 due to build.prop errors that I can't overcome (despite making the proper corrections).
I'm out of ideas, and would really appreciate help!
Thanks

EDIT: found the RC1 zip lying around and flashed that, and it happened to contain a bootloader with download mode. We're good. Thanks
I have a S3 Mini I8190N, Baseband I8190NXXALL6, on Three Ireland.
I've tried all of Maclaw's CM10.2 roms for the last month, along with some of OliverG96's releases, and none of them show up any network signal for me, and won't let me search for networks, almost as if the rom can't use the hardware radio.
The stock 4.1.2 rom works perfect.
I've tried changing my baseband from I8190NXXALL6 to I8190NXXAMG1, and that made no difference.
(Stock still has perfect signal, Maclaws CM10.2 has no signal at all)
I've also looked through the build.prop files and compared them to the working stock build.prop, but I don't really think tweaks in there will fix this.
Seeing as this possibly could be a hardware issue, is there a file defining what radio hardware my phone has, like /proc/cpuinfo does for the cpu?
Anyone have suggestions on how i could fix (or help fix) this issue?
I can test suggestions and provide logcats if anyone requires?
EDIT:
Problem solved! seems there were some issues with my modemfs, and golden-guy's suggested fix here worked.

You checked the APN??? Maybe you have to use a different one.
build.prop tweaks
Did some of you already try adding/tweaking some attributes in /system/build.prop?
There are quite some available to get better signal:
persist.cust.tel.eons=1
ro.config.hw_fast_dormancy=1
I did not try these myself, as I don't have any RIL issues, so use them at your own risk. Reboot afterwards for the changes to apply.

There was similar problem with SGS1 long ago, it was caused by wrong IMEI. Check your IMEI with stock ROM and then with CM rom.

I compared the maclaw 10.2 build.prop with my own functioning stock build.prop and changed most of the attributes about with no luck. I've also tried both those suggested options, but they seem to be more for improving signal strength rather than actually getting a signal, I didn't see any changes using them.

Guys, just back up your EFS partition and restore after you flash CM roms. You wouldn't have this kind of problems if you were using TWRP you know.

Hey,
I am running CM-10.2 on my S3 Mini (Oliver's cm-10.2-20131116-UNOFFICIAL-golden) and RIL is working just fine. So I would not think that there is a general issue with RIL on custom ROMs. Rather, the way how you switch from stock to custom might have an impact on RIL...
You could try going back to stock, verify RIL is working again as expected and then start flashing anew following my approach using heimdall: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537520
Since when I switched from stock to custom, I exactly did that. And I never had any issue with RIL on any custom ROM I have installed since then - which was basically all versions since the 20130928 release.
Cannot tell if that works out for you, but it's definitely worth a try
Btw, I did not check the additional "/01" in the IMEI output when I was still on stock. Running custom I get the very same output - just the IMEI, without this suffix. In the "about phone" section, the relevant IMEI SV entry does read "01" for me.
I wonder if your cellphone is SIM-locked...

I factory reset, flashed back to complete stock I8190NXXALL6 (it's 4.1.2) using ODIN, and everything worked perfect. From there I followed your guide to flash CWM recovery, then flashed maclaw's cm 10.2 (20131123) but I still had the same RIL issue.
Then I tried flash the stock rom with heimdall instead of ODIN initially and then follow your guide, same result.
Then I downloaded the odin version of maclaw's CM 10.2 (20131122) and flashed it directly with heimdall. same result.
After that, I took apart both the stock and odin cm 10.2 versions, and tried use heimdall to flash a hybrid version of the two:
Stock: STEboot1.img, STEboot2.img, Modem.bin
CM10.2: boot.img, system.img, recovery.img
Still had no signal at all, so I flashed TWRP 2.6.3.0 recovery and restored back to my usual stock-based backup.

I checked (borrowed an o2.ie sim from a roommate) and it is network-locked to Three Ireland, but with my last phone (Samsung Galaxy Spica - I5700) it didn't affect using custom roms so I honestly didn't consider that... Do you think my problem could be that my device is network locked? Would that really cause this?

I just tried to see if i'd get any sort of signal on maclaw roms by plugging my phone into AC... no joy for me there either
Does it have signal if its plugged in then the phone is turned on, or can you get signal at any time just by plugging into AC? like:
*Turn on phone* > standby (on battery) - no signal > *plug into AC* > standby (on AC) - signal > *unplug AC* > standby (on battery) - no signal
Sounds like your problem could be more hardware based than mine? something to do with voltages possibly? I'm really not sure what to suggest.

The thing is, that operators and brands, on earlier devices, put some limitations on the devices. For example, if you buy a Sony smartphone from 2011 and forward that is SIM-locked, you won't be able to flash any custom kernel at all. Can someone with the same problem confirm that their phones are SIM-locked?

So assuming thats the issue, would getting a network unlock code allow me to use custom kernels and roms?
im on the alliance v6 rom on my note 3 att smn900a and my data speeds are horrible does anyone know why? i tried flashing the stock modem after installing the rom and still no change
Have you tried a different rom to eliminate the idea of it being the rom? I've never heard of a rom limiting data speeds.
Have you checked your data usage thru your carriers website? Maybe you used a lot of data and have been throttled.
Just throwin out some ideas.

Yeah ill go back to stock rooted mlg and it works great but ill put a custom rom on it doesnt matter which and it gets really slow, only streaming though. Ive tried S5 Experience, Alliance, PureRom,and Dynamic Kat. I checked and i havent went over , Another thing on the Alliance rom my 4g icon will change to an H almost all the time
Check the APN settings and verify they are the same as stock. That's a possibility.

I have an unlocked bootloader and rooted Nexus 6. I usually run custom ROMs but I have had some issues when I install them for about the past week or so. I use Straight Talk CDMA which uses the Verizon towers. If I flash an official firmware such as LMY47I (5.1) or LMY47Z (5.1.1) then I have no issues with LTE connecting from the very beginning of the setup screen. Everything works fine including voice, data, and texting. When I install a custom ROM the signal will not connect and there is an exclamation point (!) next to the signal icon. I did have to exchange my phone and Motorola sent me a new one but I was able to use custom ROMs without issues on this phone until sometime earlier this week.
I know that people have been having some issues recently with connection problems and there are various threads on them. I have tried several of these workarounds but it just seems odd that I never had these issues before.
Any help or suggestions would be great. Don't mind running stock firmware but would prefer to be able to use custom ROMs again.
Thanks in advance.

Try a different radio. I've read that the radio from the M test build is fixing some issues.
I've tried flashing a few of the newest radios but not the Android M version. Will give it a try.
Thanks for the reply.

You can even flash an older radio if need be.
So I tried installing two different custom ROMs and both times I got the same signal icon with an (!) next to it. There is no working connection. I tried flashing the radio from the Android M preview and also installed the radio from LMY47D (Verizon 5.1.0) since I am on Straight Talk CDMA. Neither one seemed to help. After flashing these radios I went back to restoring a TWRP backup based on just a stock firmware. From what I understand the radio is separate from any particular ROM you flash and thus independent of each other. I am able to get an LTE signal when I revert back to the backup.
So now I'm stumped. It doesn't seem to be based on the radio. None of the custom ROMs that I was able to use less than a week ago are able to find an LTE signal after a clean install. I can only seem to use official firmware versions.
Any other possible ideas? Could the phone be defective? It was an RMA replacement and I think it was new and not refurbished.
Thanks in advance.

Really sounds like an APN issue. I have flashed a few ROMs and have had that problem. Most recently Exodus ROM. I changed the APN and all is well.

Let me take a look at the APN settings on the stock firmware and then see how they compare when I use a custom ROM. In the past, I never had to set the APN settings as I thought they were set automatically on CDMA sim cards. I'll take a look.
Thanks.

Even if there's another APN with the same name as the one set by default, try switching to the other. That's what worked for me on Exodus.

Thanks for the advice. I was able to compare the APN settings on a stock firmware and enter these settings into the APN settings of a custom ROM and able to get it to work. Just strange that I have to enter these settings manually when I never had to do it before. Thanks for all your help. Much appreciation.
