ok, i've been at this for a couple of weeks, tried every tutorial, trick, etc can find, bought cdma-ware ws have tried all on .905 and .902
obviously i'm missing something,
can not get 3g to run on my bionic, got blank 4g sim did all of that also,
here's what i did last time around:
loaded bootstrap wiped everything cache included, sim card was in, this is 3g sim card, originally phone was flashed by beigephone
their rule is don't ever pull the sim, well, when you go from stock rom to eclipse doesn't matter, anyway, wifi, phone etc sms all going good except 3g,
loaded eclipse 2.2 went into cdma unlocked, enterered my min, dir, all that, set evdo rev A with mfpa, loaded the prl, got all data entered go back to phone set the networks all that etc
i'm missing something and it's probably very simple

For the last few hours my G1 has been showing me the X above the bars.
Ive tried restoring an old image...tried data wipe/reset.
All end up the same.
Selecting my network (TMOBILE) has been an adventure.
One of the following occurs
The menu itself gets stuck on airplane mode.
sim card not authorized on network
cannot connect to network
Ive rebooted numerous times even when bars/data look like theyre back , Ill make a call and it will drop the call, then right back to the X.
What compounds the oddity is that even with the X Ive gotten data to work for the most part. Sometimes it will sometimes it wont. Im extremely confused if this is my SIM card or the G1 itself.
Cus Serv online said to go to a Tmo store for a new sim. But my schedule may not allow that until Fri. I dont have any other sims or phones to swap and try either.
Any clues what this could be ?
G1/TMo/Offical Tmo Donut ROM from this forum.
Crazy data transfers could be browser cache? Very odd. I would go with what customer service says on this one.
Reflash radio
Just reflash the radio - get the official one from HTC developer site or whereever you can find it and reflash it using recovery ( I hope you have recovery 1.4 or Amon-ra recovery). You can try to take out your SIM and examine it closely, and maybe clean it a little. Just take it out and put it back. Then reflash radio and see if tat works.
Stopped short of flashing the radio.
I wiped and installed Cyn 4.19999 same issue. Rebooted , wiped..then reception came back.
Maybe it was ROM Im thinking ? Wiped restored my previous save (TMO ROM))and everythings working again except for Picmail.((which has been a reoccuring problem)).
Tmo says to go pick up a new Sim card to see if it helps. I guess theres no harm in doing that right ?
Ive never flashed the radio since Cyn and The Tmo ROM dont require it. So its still on stock. Would the pic mail being sproatic before and after this be a Radio problem as well ?

What do you mean by "Picmail"? Do you mean MMS or is that an app?

Yes , PicMail=MMS
Its been buggy for me for awhile.
Im wondering if all this is some wonky Simcard.
Dont stress it. It happened to me yesturday for about a couple of hours. I think TMOB is workin out some signal issues. I had the same exact problem along with 10 of my fellow network friends. No rom bugs or flash fcuk ups. It'll restore it self normally unless you truely did it to your self while flashing.
Could very well be.
Thanks Garz.
I'm using a Bluegrass Hero, and when I first got my phone, it picked up rev.A evdo just fine. Back on the old 1.5 rooting method, when I first rooted it, it lost rev.A and went to rev.0. Even on the official 2.1 update, it still had rev.0. I need to fix this. Please help!

I think I remember seeing a thread somewhere where this changed on its own depending on signal.... could be wrong.
No, it doesn't. Full signal or not, always rev.0.
And yes, I've done a power cycle, turned airplane on and off, reflashed the rom, etc.
not sure if your carrier does this, but on mine if I dial *228 I get an automated activation thing that will unlock the spl and re-program the radio. I usually do that when I have data or calling issues after changing roms and it usually works.
a quick history of what I've done so far
Sumsung I897 captivate from ATT unlock and being used on Telus network was working great for about 4 days, then all kinds of problem started cropping up.
Phone came unlocked, I rooted using update.zip from xda, installed rom manager and started removing ATT bloatware, entered SMS and APN info which worked fine.
Yesterday I noticed that where I once got good reception I was now getting nothing and would have to drive down the street before I would get something descent. I thought maybe I'd put it back to stock with rom manager and see if that would help which it did not. It actually made it worse, decided to go all out and use the Odin3 one click downloader just to make sure I was back to stock firmware. This didn't work either but now I can enter the SMS and change the preferred network type but it doesn't save. Preferred network type is grayed out and even though I can change it it never save same as SMS.
Now I can't hold connecting in my living room where my wifes Milestone gets full bars. I tried taking the phone to where I had the best signal and change the preferred network, SMS, and set the network operator but it doesn't save any info, can't find on operator half the time on manual or auto and gave me an error and logged it to #*9900#
I've been at this for 2 days straight and can't figure out how to get it right back to stock, it seems to keep hanging onto the same preferred network and not saving anything I enter.
What can I do to get back to stock, and it has to be something that wipes everything clean, clean, clean, because even the GSM disconnects stay logged under *#*#4636#*#*
***I desperately even tried pulling the batt and SIM card for the night in hopes that would do something.
So, if I'm understand what happened correctly, you bought an unlocked Captivate, rooted it, deleted some bloatware, entered your Telus APN info and everything worked awesome for about four days. Now everything has gone down the hole. Is that right?
If that is the case, then we need to figure out what changed. Using Odin3 would have definitely put you back to stock/unrooted your phone, I don't think you could go back any further than that. If I were you, I would act like I first got the phone. As in, I would do everything you did to it, as if was day one. At one point, everything worked fine. Try to recreate that. You can always look into exchanging it or perhaps Samsung customer support can give you a little more insight to what's going on. Here's the number if you want to try them out.
Samsung customer service - 1.800.726.7864
Thanks, I've gone through the process a few times today from start to finish trying to figure it out ... maybe some of the problems aren't real problems and just limitations that I didn't know where their. I've since flash with odin3+re-partion to the bone stock i897UCJF6 as in not the one click method. It loaded fine but still have the same issue, I can't set preferred network type or get it to keep the number entered into SMSC. I think if I can get passed that I'll be be one the up side of winning. I keep noticing that the log of GSM disconnects never clears or the usage statistics under *#*#4636#*# , I'm thinking its in the same area that other bad data is being held onto instead of being cleared when flash firmware or factory reset.
Is anyone able to change preferred network type? maybe I was never able to change it but I think I should be able too.
I may be wrong in assuming this but I don't think ATT is going to be interested helping me connect one of their handset that I'm trying to use on foreign network, but I could be wrong and is an open option.

used this to lock my phone to WCDMA only so that problem is solved
*** never mind posted to soon it still didn't stick after rebooting
be carefull using the service menu as I have no idea what most of this stuff does
I got the SMS service number issue fix by taking out my sim, swapping in another known working sim from the same network, setting the service number, pressing update and then swapping back. Before every time I tried to update the service number it spit out an "update error" can anybody tell where the SMS config data is stored? on the phone or sim.
The only problem I'm having now is with reception which maybe fixable if I can set the preferred network to WCDMA only. But the button for that option is a light blue colour vs other phones that I can change this setting on. Does the blue mean anything like a locked function or something that set by the firmware as unchangeable?
I am working on getting a hero working on Verizon. I currently have created a custom rom using FroShedYo.V6 and update-cm-6.1.0-RC1-Heroc-signed. This is running but I am not getting a data connection. The mobile network state is disconnected and I am always roaming. I was able to do a *228 and both options said they worked.
I replaced the wifi driver with the one from the hero and I have wifi working now. Does anyone know if there is a 3g driver or the like for the hero that I need to replace? Or is this a MMS programming issue?
So close yet so far away.
You gotta change the apn settings and and eri.xml is your rom sense based or what?
The roms I am working with are CM6 based without sense. I think. I am new to android hacking. The eris one is the FroShedYo.V6 and there is no /data directory in either one. I am going to try a different rom with the /data directory already in it.
try hexscrews rom I believe it has apn settings in it for all carriers
I'm wondering if this is a PRI issue. I see there used to be a leaked rom that had an Eris PRI from verizon that was installed. Is there anyway to get this somehow installed on my hero on purpose now?
I now have the hero on the verizon network with talk and text. I used a base eris rom and used the drivers for wifi, screen rotation, bluetooth from a hero rom with the same kernel. The one thing that I do not have working is the 3G data connection. I have looked at several things trying to get this to work but have had no success.
I am getting data connection errors in the radio that I can see in logcat. The phone also appears to always be roaming.
Anyone have any suggestions on how I can get these things fixed?
Well if the phone is always roaming and its set for Verizon that means its picking up sprint, I think the biggest issue your going to run into is that It needs to be provisioned before data will work and you can't do that in cm6 I would try a sense Rom first then try cm6

Guys, I have a GUIDE that is about switching from Sprint-> PagePlus (pageplus would be the better option here) just search for my threads by me. I have everything working using it with CM6. In the guide even have the ERI/APN settings for PagePlus
I have flashed the southpaw odex 2.1 rom and copied over the apn and did the qpst programming. Still stuck on roaming and no data. My phone information currently:
baseband:2.32.40.11.09
PRI:2.20_003
PRL:51893
I have tried the PRL's in the sprinttopageplus guide and still roaming and no data.
I can still make calls and text.
I tried pst programming earlier to try to match settings in another verizon android based phone. I may have messed up the pst programming and got stupid and did not back up. Anyone have a qcn file for the hero working on verizon/pageplus?
bowb, make sure that setting applied match those that I outlined, also in the package thre should be two prl files, one will be used adn it will get data and it will force it to 1x, after teh 1x (it reset the a-key) then use the other prl so that it enables EVDO, if used in reverse order=no data
If there is only 1 prl, then:
http://www.fortuneinyou.com/buddy/pageplus.prl
then
http://www.fortuneinyou.com/buddy/pageplus1.prl
The first prl gets me on the Verizon network without roaming and no data. The second prl I have no data and roaming. I'm getting closer. Thanks for the help.

it will always say roaming unless you use a CyanogenMOD/AOSP ROM, I always get that unless Im on those. I know it's a PITA. ensure that in your mobile network settings that data is enabled while roaming for a 2.1 rom.
TpyoKnig what PRI version are you using? Over on the Eris section when the 2.2 Leaked rom was installed it looks like a Verizon PRI was installed and there were issues with data. I think I might have the opposite. I think I may have a Sprint PRI and it is not working on Verizon. When I logcat the radio it does not compare to a phone working on Verizon and it even has 'Sprint' in the output. Or I may be completely wrong.
So I have change my PRI and it still does not work. I noticed I am getting a
Failed setting numeric '31172' to the current operator
This is a sprint operator code? I have tried changing this in build.props to 31004 which is verizon for the gsm.operator.numeric etc... but it keeps coming back.
Does this lead me down the rabbit hole?

sorry heres my info from bootloader:
Radio: 2.32.40.11.09
as far as the PRI if you arent referring to the radio, then I have the stock one that came with 2.1
I'm going to do a hard reset. Flash the Sprint 2.1 RUU to get my PRI back and try this radio. I see that it is a verizon radio so maybe that will get me some results. If this doesn't do it I probably have messed up my system programming.

Ok, in the guide that I made, it has the appropriate settings that need to be applied in EPST (##3282#) for data with PagePlus (verizon)
The phone I am trying to move from is a samsung reality. Is it possible it has a different way of making the data connection?
try a droid eris rom. It's pretty much the same thing as the hero but for verizon. Me if I was doing this I would ruu back to the 2.27.651.51.5 and set everything up in ##data. Use the verizon prl and then flash the radio. Then go from there.

same for both, buy why did you post 'hero on verizon' if here you explicitly state its a samsung..
I've recently flashed my Sprint HTC One over to MetroPCS a couple days ago.They Reminded me that the Sprint SimCard was inside my otterbox. i was using the stock rom until i wanted to just browse some of the latest kitkat roms. I flashed to the Beanstalk 4.4.2 Rom. Setup when fine until i notice i had no signal what so ever. So i put back in the sim card just to be curious and i rebooted the phone and i had very small signal i was able to call my VM to see if i could make calls and i could send text messages but the issue now is that i cant get any data. i switch to different network settings to: CDMA/EvDo to Global ect. And 3g would pop up for only 5secs and disappear. So i tried another Rom out to see if it was just that one and it happen to be the same problem over again. When installed the rom this time with the sim card it was trying to pick up data but and it called *22896 and stated it couldn't pick up data. it wouldn't allow me to connect to Google play or Google now unless i pulled the sim card out and reboot the phone. it only does this on ASOP Roms that goes through the sim card setup on the first boot On sense 5.5/4.4 Im able to get data but i cant connect to the play store Do i need to SuperCID my phone? or do i need to try the international Roms? please help.
