I'm trying to upgrade to gingerbread from froyo and whenever I do I lose my 3g. HSPDA and HUPDA both goto 0 and they are 1 before I flash. I can't set them to 1 either. I do the *#301279# trick and it doesn't work.
I setup an APN and I got the settings from my cell provider and it still doesn't work. I look under Network Providers and all I see is 1 provider and its not mine. Normally there are at least 2 or 3 there.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Forgot to mention, I've got a Galaxy S, I've tried putting gingerbread on my phone, then when that didn't work I reverted it back to Froyo. The 3G came back, I tried a couple different roms that I could find and the same thing happens to each one.
I want to try a custom rom like Darky's but from the looks of it, you need to be on gingerbread first before you can get it on there.
Odin?

Using logic, You are from Canada so you must either have a Bell 9000m or Galaxy S 4G (SGH-T959V) I'm betting its the 4G which isn't going to work with quite a lot of roms, See if they have a Galaxy S 4G thread on here and go there as they will be better able to help you

Sounds like you most likely are using the wrong radio. When switching to Gingerbread you must also switch to a Gingerbread compatible radio in order to obtain a Voice/Data connection. You might have to use ODIN to flash a full image.

Hello all,
I travel A LOT for work. I have been to Bahrain with my Infuse before, switch Sims, works like a champ... I was on REFUSE back in Sept last time it worked.
This trip I am on CM7, and I have every modem, so I know it is not a modem issue, but neither my AT&T sim or my Zain sim will get service. In my Xperia Mini, both Sims work. Odd thing, AT&T sim will tell me I have a voice mail, but will not connect to a tower.
In the States, both Sims work, and the phone has worked here in the past. I have even flashed back to stock, and still no joy.
Is there a way to make the towers think I have an i9000, that is the only thing I can think that it could be, but it used to work... Imagine going from an Infuse to a Xperia Mini, my eyes are killing me....
What am I missing? Those that have seen me in DEV section, I always figure things out, but now I am asking for a fresh idea for you guys, I need it... Allen
I had some problems with some of the more recent modems in both Kuwait and Qatar. Then, after switching back to an older modem it took more than 15 minutes for me to finally connect to a network. I think I went back to UCKI4 and it worked for me, but again, it took a long time to finally connect. I'd try one of the older modems and just letting it sit for a while to see if it'll finally connect for you.

Being you are in Dubai, your reply is my best hope... I have every single Gingerbread modem in my CWM_ZIP folder except UCKI4... I just flashed it, will leave in on over night to see if she finds a tower, I am sure you too had to catch Zain towers, so I have hope....
Has anyone ever used a FROYO modem on Gingerbread... Refused was on UCKD5 when I was working in Sept, but I have been scared to try a FROYO modem... I do not have my Download Dongle with me, so I do not want to Soft Brick my phone over here....
I want to move my Zain sim over, but I need it talking to a tower for work, so I am hoping that the ATT Sim finally works on UCKI4. Thanks again for the tip, hope it works.... Allen
No luck... I even managed to soft brick my phone, and no jig here... Could not find any 100 ohm resistors, but I did find 4 1200 ohm, and in parallel I will get the 300 ohm to pin 4 and 5... Then I am going to try Refuse again and see if it still works. I miss my Infuse, but love Bahrain.... What to do...
I have now learned that a 500 ohm rheostat (like used on Guitars for Volume) is the best way to get 301 ohms, so I was able to get the phone back, flashed complete original stock rom...
Still NO SERVICE.
Currently back to 2.2.1 UCKD5 (tear)
Status page shows:
Network Unknown
Signal strength -51 dBm 31 asu (This is a good signal strength)
Mobile network type UMTS (She sees a 3G tower)
Service State Out of Service
Roaming Not...
Mobile network state Disconnected
Please someone one, I am stumped... How can a phone go from working, change a few Roms, softbrick a few times, then NOTHING...
Hmmmm, Service Mode..... RAT Selection Option is Restricted, did I lose my Break?
Is it possible I corrupted my nv_data.bin file... Even after I format, reflash, no luck.

hi, allen. Just a dumb question. Does apn settings have to be changed?
or a factory reset does all that?

As luck would have it, i fixed it today. I already had an APK for System Toolbox. A app for the Captivate. Under Hidden Codes (sgs users) , select service mode and gsm 900 was off. I just selected all bands and I am now on UCKL2. And after 2 Weeks I am using my Infuse is talking to the tower, life is good.
The APN is for 3G and MMS not basic calls. I am on a prepay Zain Sim so i don't want that working...

good to know...congrats.
Galaxy S 4G modems work.
I have ICS-SUPERLITE-4.2 on Rogers and i totally lost LTE. I wrote in many existing threads and dev section and no one answered.
I lost LTE, even in areas of full reception, i dont have it, i used stock APN and LTE APN and still dont get it. I do get 4G.
Other on rogers running 4.2 have lte, just less reception so im guessing radio is not the problem. Any idea?
mhx did say he broke lte in 4.1 so maybe you got something from that. im flashing now and ill see how it goies
well im on 4.2 so its supposed to be fixed
I was having lte issues on 4.2 aswell

LTE works fine. Just make sure it says ltemobile.apn instead of rogers-core. If it still doesnt work then go int the phones menu *#2263# and select option 4. After that go back into the menu again and select 1 for automatic.

I've had to use the *#2263# option to get LTE on every ICS ROM I have tried so far, works great but sometimes I have had to redo it after the 2nd and 3rd reboot for it to take...
Another solution is after you flash an ICS ROM is to have patience , if you wait 5 minutes or so after flashing, before even touching\unlocking the screen, then most of the time everything settles in nicely on its own.
if ur using rogers with the ics leaks, there's several issues. Call id and lack of lte being one of them. This issue is present with all of them, it is an unstable leal after all. i believe lack of lte unless near a strong connection is due to uclca4 issues.
well after doing what i wrote 2 posts above, i have no issues with phone except for reboot/power off hang, i also get the occasional 2-3 second lag but its quite rare. Besides, im very haapy with rom, battery life is much better than GB
no lte after ics leak
I've the same issue with AT&T in Miami which has a strong LTE network. LTE worked great with GB. After installing the ICS leak all I get is HSPA:11. When I go into *#2263# it says RAT Selection option is restricted. Anyone have a solution?

Probably don't have the correct apn. apn needs to be set to pta in order to get lte.

Ditto - well actually I AM seeing LTE, but a drastically reduced data rates. Does not seem to matter what ROM, or Kernel or how many times I have re-flashed or re-flashed just the ICS Radio, I get roughly HALF of what I was seeing on GB. Ugh. I don't WANNA go back to Gingerbread. I just want perfection. Is that too much to ask for?

It's not the APN, at least in my case. It just crappy reception, and it happened exactly when I flashed ICS, and has been like that ever since. This in spite of re-flashing the Olin leak, reflashing the the radio, etc. It really irks me, and I do NOT want to go back to GB

reflash the radio then you should be ok.
apn is set to PTA so not sure what to try next.

Sorry. Missed reflashing the radio. haven't rooted since installing I've leak. I'll try that next. Thanks

RAT Selection option is restricted
Just flashed SeanZ ICS 4.2A-7 ROM and i727UCAL4 modem. I'm still getting "RAT Selection option is restricted". There is nothing else on that screen. This has been 3 different radios now and I cannot get a screen that allows me to select the radio band.
Would flashing a different kernel work? Any other ideas?
I have a Galaxy S II running the UCLE2 ICS Leak, I love the phone but there are many times I'm in a area with a real weak LTE Signal but a great HSPA Signal and times I'm in a 2G Only Area.
I know that the AT&T Modem is Locked so you can't switch off LTE or set it to 2G Only, If I got the Unlock code would that also remove the Rat lock? if not can you use a Rogers Radio on a AT&T Rom?
Thanks
No removing the sim lock will not help i believe the only radio that is unlocked is the rogers KJ7. Not sure what rom your using but some have a selection in the network screen i am using ChimeraVsSkyrocket_Beta2 and it has that option sorry i was trying to get you a screen shot but the usual buttons are not working
So is it safe to flash the rogers radio with me being the AT&T Radio?
If I flash the Rogers Radio with the AT&T APN's Should everything work as normal?
And If I decided to go back to UCLE2 Radio is it you like your basic flash with CWM or would I need to do the Samsung 1 Click to restore the phone to stock?
Thanks so much for your help
Rogers radio will work with att... though signal and speeds will be different. maybe better, maybe worse. its different for everyone.
and it will only work if the rom you are using has the option in it. such as a rogers rom or some other custom roms.
and flashing back to ucle is through cwm. exact same as when you flash the rogers radio...
i'd try the new rogers radio if i were you. it should be RAT unlocked. i get drastically better signal over every other radio (though i am a rogers user).
you may need to switch roms though. if thats the case i'd advise using the chimera rom. since its confirmed to have it. (not very many AT&T roms do.)
The latest rogers modem works with SKY ICS. I flashed it but the signal sucked so I went back to ULALC4(Best for me). Not sure if this is what your looking for but theres an options in your wireless network settings that allows you to use only your 2G networks. Actally has a sub title the suggests it saves battery. Might wanna check it out.
For some reason I cannot connect to 3G. I can only get 4G or 1x. I've been running cm10 for awhile and I've switched back and forth between different ROMs including back to stock and other TouchWiz ROMs. I've not really sure when this happened because I didn't really notice at first, seeing as how I'm in a strong LTE area. I've tried using phone info and using the settings in cm10 under mobile networks. The strangest part of it is that in phone info, if I set it to EvDo only, my bars go empty.
I've updated to the latest modem, and like I said, I've tried different ROMs and even different kernels. I've used Odin to get all the way back to stock unrooted and everything. I can't figure out what could be causing this.
I lost my IMEI weeks ago but got it back so I don't think that's the issue.
Any help that I get can get would be really appreciated.
Thanks
So, I got a AT&T Skyrocket s2 i727 from amazon. its already unlocked and i noticed it was stuck on edge speeds when i put in my sim card. I researched why it was on google and came across this site, which i have to say is amazing!. i have read every topic there is about how to root/unroot, flash roms, radios, kernels, etc. over the last i dunno, week or so. So i decided to give it a try since everything is step by step, which im not illierate towards, i understood what it all meant. first thing i started out with is odim and flashed the cwm touch for the skyrocket, which was easy. i then researched some more and seen i wanted to make this phone on tmoblies 4g service, which here in iowa is called IWireless, anything tmoblie works with this since they are an affiliate of tmoblie. I started out downloading all the radios, which i have:
cwm-tmob-kl1-radio
Telus_SGH-T989D_Kj3_radio
Tmo_SGH-T989_KID_radio
Tmo_SGH-T879-UVLG3_radio
Tmo_SGH-T989_VK1_radio
Tmo_SGH-T989_UVLE1_radio
Blaze_4G_LB7_ICS_Radio_MOD
so as u can see ive got pretty much all of them. then i found which rom i wanted to use, i downloaded CM9 and CM10. for the CM9 build i seen the best kernel for it: InstigatorX-CM9-Kernel3-v6.0.3. also downloaded the gapps for each cm build.
then i followed the instructions the CM team left, backup, factory reset, format, install the radio, then cm os and finally the gapps.
I did all this with each radio and each cm, everything. no i did not brick my phone im alot smarter than that lol. whenever i try a radio, usually im just stuck on the edge speeds. i go into my settings on the phone and it wont save me selecting the lte/gsm/wcdma, just stays on the wcdma preferred....when i did each radio i started from fresh, cleaned everything out, even tried the davlik wipe in the advanced settings in cwmtouch.
so i read in other forums that ppl tried to flash over radios. that didnt work, i was left with no signal at all.
i still have the imei number on my phone when i dial *#06#, so i havent lost that, but every radio i use my baseband version says unknown.
also when i enter the service code in for cm10 and cm9, it wont save my selction of what bands id like to use....
so any help here would be appreciated...im losing my mind over this and it sucks...thanks for anyones help, i need it.
Edit:
switched back to stock ics from my recovery, installed the blaze radio, showed i had 4g, but had no bars. i called someone and after i called them it went back to edge. went to search for networks and all i can get is E again. under settings it shows im on edge 2....so im close but obvisously not close enough. i live in a major city here in iowa and i live a few blocks from a wireless tower...any ideas?

Flash a T-mo radio that gets you on the network, then look around and find the proper APN settings for your provider. You will have to go into the APN settings on your phone and create a new APN with those specific settings for it to work properly. I am not sure what those settings are for T-mo but you should be able to find them with the search feature.

so ive went back to the recovery, which the phone was set at before everything, flashed the radios of blaze and the uvle1 and it shows i have 4g but it bareley even runs. also each time i flash a new radio my apn settings are there, iwireless automatically downloads them to ur phone when u turn it on, and i verified the apn settings with another iwireless phone, an alcatel 995(4g phone). and now i can send a text message, the other phone receives it but the other phone doesnt receive mine. any other ideas? im going to try flahsing all the tmo radios to the phone and see what i can do. also is the radio and the modem the same thing? do i need to find a tmo modem and flash it on there and then a radio?
EDIT: nvm radio and modem same thing it seems like...lol. anyways ive tried the other radios, i completely lost signal with them as to they wont work. does anyone have any other radios that might work? i dont care if it gets 4g just at least 3g lol. im just geting tired of working on this and about to give up this really blows.

Modem and radio are same thing. Other than an APN issue I know of nothing else other than a #*number combination to enable lte settings. I am not sure what that combination is though as I live in a not-lte area and have not needed it. You may want to search the SkyJB thread as I think it was discussed at length in there. And I would try each and every one of the t-mo radios/modems as you might actually find one that works to enable 3g/4g in your particular area.
